Tsss. Amateur mistake.

It doesn't matter how long your brand will live, the problem is how long the version used to make the backup will live.

Let's make a backup with SQLite(Lib) 2017. Somewhen in 2030, we'll try to recover that backup.

First, we realize that SQLite[Lib] 2030 can't read it. Because there were subtle changes on the format and the applications/librairies binaries for whatever reason and it cannot read that file anymore (even though everyone guaranteed that it would be readable for the next 33 years).

So we look for a version of SQLite 2017 (or as close as we can get). Maybe we find one, maybe we don't. Let's say we find one... we try it and it doesn't work on Linux Redbian 2030.

So we need to find an old OS from 2017. Let's assume we find one... but it doesn't recognize the current Motherboard and it cannot run on Intel 96 bits processors.

So we gotta find a VM or an old computer in a garage...

And we'll stop there because it's endless.

I didn't read the article and all the comments but this is the sort of thing once again reminds that there's really nothing new in most of the new technologies :) Lets take Dom updates for example. Do you update the whole tree and rerender the whole screen or only the changed parts. Problem is essentially the "same" albeit tech and corner cases have their own set of differences. Next, consider that maybe your browser is just more fancier terminal and webserver is just evolution of old mainframes.

Well, that's just my way of thinking but because way of thinking and having started my career writing unix applications, I still can maintain my interest in latest 'trends' and at least feel that I have something to contribute when trend seems to gear towards hiring younger and younger devs.

Field: embedded software. To me RISC-V is the most exciting thing for the next few years. The performance appears to be awesome, and free CPU IP will allow more varieties of specialized low-cost chips for specific use cases. It should also have a positive effect on development environments by encouraging wider use of free toolchains.

If we had interstellar level of tech we could synthesize aminos, carbs and fats more efficiently than we can with agriculture. We could probably do it right now with processing simple organisms like algae or what not if push came to shove - with enough R&D $ spent, but all forms of agriculture get subsidized enough that it doesn't even let alternative competition come up.

I'm not saying agricultural disasters can't have very negative impacts on society (especially less developed countries that have to bid for same food as developed countries on global market) but such sci-fi plots are rather unconvincing.

Yeah, I see what you're saying.

Developers like most people are motivated by self-interest and have little motivation to see change in the status quo.

With regards to advocacy, it's much easier to cut a check to the EFF (or similar organizations) when your conscience is moved.

We as developers could careless about actually seeing meaningful results outside of the code we write and money we make.

That's what you're saying more or less?

I strongly disagree with your statement that collective bargaining isn't beneficial because at no point are the efforts of individuals more effective than that of a group. Only together is there change. The people's movements of the world have demonstrated that time and time again.

Interesting, but not unexpected, the memory locality of the vector dominates otherwise similar algorithms.

One remark. In the unordered_set case, it would be faster to assign rather than inserting the first set, because with insert() we loose the fact that the elements in A are already unique and out will not be resized appropriately.

out = A;
out.insert(B.begin(), B.end());

> Marketing doesn't create value; it distributes and sells it.

But that value doesn't exist until marketing "unlocks" it! The example discussed is marketing finding a new vertical which then expands the profitability of a product line without any additional work. A portion of the value didn't exist until marketing sold it to a new market. I don't consider that conflation of ideas, more of highlighting the nuance that quantifiable portions of value cannot be ascribed to individual efforts.

The fact that value is subjective and immeasurable doesn't insult anyone who tries to make good things. I try to make good things too, the value I get from them is the sense of accomplishment that I've done a good job. But whether my "good job" translates into a $1bn unicorn is up to luck, not simply my effort.

I think most would agree that "arbitrary exercises of power" would include murder and arson. The author really does his argument injustice by throwing around a caricature of a political philosophy.

Sounds intriguing. There are a few tools for recording interactions with a webpage in order to replay the actions as a test (Ghost Inspector, Selenium IDE, etc) but they tend to be pretty horrible. I've been working on my own as a Chrome extension for a little while. What you're building sounds really interesting though, especially if it can deal with complex Javascript apps. Anything that can make developers more inclined to test things is a good thing.

I about shell redirection, but sometimes I get annoyed by things like:

* I am running a program, decide to 'ctrl+z, bg' it, but it keeps spewing onto my terminal. Instead, just store it so I can look at later

* I want to say "take the output of the previous program and put it into a file", without either running it again, or cutting + pasting it into a file.

Nothing serious, I just feel there is "something better" (although it would be a serious change).

Roads are certainly straighter and wider in rural Sweden than Rural Norway, because of the geography (topography rather perhaps). In Norway you are never far from the next tunnel.

If you live next to e.g. The E4 that spans the length of Sweden (most people in the northern 2/3 do) the speed limit is 110/120 for the most part so at least in summer conditions you have no problem doing well over 100km/h since there is so little traffic. If you have a long commute in rural Sweden it's almost certainly mostly freeway driving in a very flat landscape.

https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil:E4,_Nyk%C3%B6ping_2009.j...

Obviously you are driving much slower at the beginning/end of such a commute, but normally you can do it without being slowed down by traffic. On more normal rural roads and in winter conditions you might be lucky to do 70 or 80 (90-100 on the largest roads).

It's actually an interesting difference between city and country - in rural areas we always talk about distances in km (since they translate directly to driving time with an expectation of doing 80-100km/h no matter where you are going, since traffic or road quality is almost never a factor) whereas in cities a distance is almost always given as a driving time.

Why, evolutionary psychology and the philosophy of mind, comparative history and some sociology offers a comprehensive explanation of the mental and social forces, so to speak, which makes religions possible.

I would argue it does create value. Not only for increasing the speed of information, but to attach a sentimental value to an object people like it more. People enjoy coca cola more because of the brand and thus the value is greater.

Just knowing my self I don't post a lot of gay stuff on my feed even if it's inane because there so many straight people who just wouldn't associate. Most of my content has a universal appeal by design. This is the same for most, which explains the high rate of dog/cat, baby, food and vacation pics on fb.

This is pretty bad move and here's why: IMDb relies on users using the site, editing entries, facts, quotes and correcting things.

These are the community, and they are movie fans, hardcore fans, the reason why IMDb continues. The "db" in IMDb has been created, by hand, by volunteers - the users who use the message board.

IMDb has totally overlooked the value of the Message Boards - they are for the community. Remove this and IMDb as a whole will suffer.

Consider this comparison: Imagine if Wikipedia said that it was only going to have Facebook logins for editors. All user pages were being deleted, no user meetups were allowed and no meta discussion about pages was allowed, but only that normal articles, the main thing non editors read were to be kept. Thats a stretched comparison - the idea is the the message boards are how the community works, not just some little addon that non community members don't use.

Another nail in the coffin for the open web!

As I mentioned in another comment [1], I read the discussion threads but have never actually contributed to them. I can easily click a link to view all past discussion related to the film I'm interested in without having to sign up and become a member. This would be impossible in Facebook or Twitter where discussion is ephemeral, not conducive to thoughtful expression and not intended for archival or organisation.

It's a real shame that IMDB are just going to remove the boards. Even if they didn't want to allocate resource for maintaining a community, IMDB could have opted to make the forums read-only and keep them as an archive for posterity.

On a tangential note, IMDB is one of the few sites where I see ads because they're not using third-party trackers (as far as Privacy Badger can tell).

Oh my! Strictly speaking, it may be true that most folks will spend a bit more time on receiving practice to become minimally proficient. But I would caution against de-emphasizing sending practice for two reasons.
First, there's a wide gap between sending /something/ and sending intelligible communications. At low speeds, an iambic keyer with strict timing can cover up poor technique, but at higher speeds or when sending with a straight key, it's surprisingly easy to send gibberish. If I can't make our your call, I can't respond to you ;)
Second, effort spent on sending practice helps reinforce receiving practice. It also helps break things up, provide variety, and generally make practice more fun. As you point out, the code is no longer compulsory. It's a hobby and should be fun! :)
Not the OP, but I think belief in free markets is not arrogant. In a free market, decisions are made on an individual level with actors affected that know their preferences and needs much better than a central body. I think its more arrogant to suggest that some planning committee would be able to make better decisions for that individual. Of course there are instances where there exists knowledge imbalances and sub-optimal decisions can be made. But the alternative is often no better due to the agency problem of having someone make decisions on your behalf
Congestion is not a kind of linear cost, and pollution is not its only externality. It also makes everyone else around you slower. Congestion is actually complicated. Once a place is congested, the marginal addition of a car makes traffic flow relatively much worse, and vice versa for the removal of a car.

I looked at this very question with the help of the General Social Survey. I found that software engineers tend to hold more extreme political views than the average for the population, but it was equally split leaning to the far right as to the far left. It was a significant effect, but not terribly strong (i.e. just a few percentage points in either direction). Of course, the GSS can't tell you who are the "best" programmers.

My wife and I were in Thailand in December with our cousins. My cousin sister refused to let me buy a local sim card for GPS and stuff - said it was a waste of money and preferred to use a guide map, brochures and asking people directions.

but couldn't someone with 51% of the power rewrite a block at any point in time in the past, and change history.

In order to change history your miners would need to solve blocks much faster than the rest of the network consistently for multiple blocks. Then all the nodes on the bitcoin network would accept the false fork because it was longer.

Or even write bogus transactions to the blockchain ? This would seem much more serious than double-spend

You can't write a transaction without knowing the private key of the address you're transferring from. This is true whether there's a 51% attack or not. So you can't just write any old transaction to the blockchain. The rest of the network would reject the block with bad transactions in it.

The big problem is buying something with bitcoin and receiving the purchased good--this transaction goes in Fork A. Then the attacker would start the 51% attack and create another fork--Fork B--which competes with Fork A. In Fork B the attack writes another transaction in which she sends the coins back to a wallet she controls.

Then the attacker must continue to solve blocks at a faster rate than the rest of the network is solving it....AND before the rest of the bitcoin network notices what is going on. This is no small feat.

and not to be brushed off so casually

It's not brushed off casually. The 51% attack is brought up a lot in the cryptocurrency community. But it really isn't feasible on closer examination.

In bitcoin it hasn't been a big deal because everyone is aware of the potential and self-polices.
