This might be the template for the transition from Objective-C to Swift. I would be interested in the author's thoughts on that -- how is it similar or different? One could see a situation where Objective-C is still there, like C, just not of interest to most app developers.

Sure. But that just means they're more domain specific than fundamental, at least as far as tech interview conventions go. To name another core CS subject- understanding operating systems and the underlying assembly and machine language that your nifty web and mobile platforms are built upon are important. But they're not relevant to every single type of job.
I read the entire thing, and didn't get the impression you got. This arricle is pointing out two clear issues for Swift that need to be overcome. 1) that the default language to have the broadest support is obj-c; I see a lot of companies preferring to ship obj-c when they need to support a framework for both obj-c and Swift. 2) Apple needs to more fully commit to replacing code internally with Swift, by say making the decision to stop building new feature support into obj-c and only target Swift.

This is more of a project management issue. It will be interesting to see what Apple ends up doing, but I agree with the article that long term support of both is not in Apple's best interests. Though my money is on Swift...

I can relate to what you're saying. I'm American, born to English-speaking parents. But my father worked for the US State Department, and I spent almost the entirety of my childhood overseas. We moved from country to country (mostly SE Asia), and each location had its own unique challenges and delights.

But. The most difficult move for me, by far, was the one that took us back home to the states. Suddenly, and for the first time in my life, I was surrounded by people that all spoke a language I could understand. But I understood nothing of what they were saying! Every joke, every reference... I had no idea what anyone was talking about, and it was awful.

It took me many years to get to the point where I was able to at least recognise the references, even if I didn't experience the things referenced. I still feel like a foreigner most places I go.

I don't say this with any sadness or regret. I feel I gained more than I lost. I loved my childhood, and the lessons I learned. But some were more painful than others, and the lessons in the difference between linguistic and cultural fluency were some of the sharpest.
What you can do now is do your shopping from your kitchen and get it delivered. So convenient.
1.) It is perfectly possible to have bad hiring process. That might not be just management fault, technical skills needs to be checked by the technical team. Abrasive jerks in it will select for conformity with their opinions instead of knowledge.

2.) It is perfectly possible that abrasive jerks were the ones who prevented others to fix the problems. In particular, they could have created a culture where new employee or junior is not expected to accept all criticism but is shut down when he dish it out.

"This is stupid" is not exactly an argument - if that works then your tech seniors are preferring conformity with jerk over merit of argument. It works somewhat when all working with him are juniors (e.g. less likely to see bigger problems), but makes you impenetrable to valid criticism from other skilled people.

3.) You assume that the problem was lack of autonomy from the management. That is possible, but it is equally possible that tech team screwed up on their own. Organizing larger teams is hard and even super skilled techies, abrasive or not, may completely fail once the group is too big to be micromanaged.

---------------------------------------------

Being abrasive and being direct/open is just not the same. Abrasiveness makes people comply, because they do not want to be humiliated by you. Abrasive people are just expecting everyone to be conforming to whatever they think, they do not create an environment where bad processes get fixed. It does not make people agree with you and they will revert back to the original behavior the moment you don't see.
>You are both focusing on the first part, which the author doesn't really refute. What the author refutes, and what is meant by the "it" in the last sentence is the idea that things happen according to that scheme.

I agree that there's a lot of BS schemes, unfocused schemes, wishful thinking schemes, and power players with no clear idea of what they're doing.

But I wanted to point out that it's not just it, and that it can also be laser focused on some things (if only at the operational level).

That's why I bought myself a dumb TV, and added smart features using a Raspberry Pi connected to it by HDMI. The TV has no internet connection available.
It's an odd problem. My partner insists on keeping a shopping list. But mostly I remember what we have in the fridge and store cupboard, as I frequently cook. I don't actually forget that many items when shopping. Toothpaste I don't keep in the fridge. Being able to have a quick glance remotely could help, but I'd probably then abandon trying to remember, and it would probably take me longer. My partner recently tried a little stretch of buying online and collecting from the store. But for me, it took all the fun out of shopping. I actually enjoy strutting the supermarket - and some domestic tasks. My partner likes certainty. I like mixing things up a little.

It is the norm because most FOSS is not licensed under the AGPL.

Is "sharing" equivalent to "giving for free the hard work to the private industry"?

Most of the time the system works as intended. The researchers do their research on public money, most of what they do becomes public knowledge through papers, if something noteworthy is found, it's patented and licensed and the university gets its cut. The system kind of fails sometimes at giving the researchers (in plural, not just the tenured rockstar) its due, but many times are the scientists the ones that open an enterprise to work it out.

In this case, it's not that system that has failed, it's that different universities are fighting over who has the right to license it. I have no horse in this race, but this it's probably going to become even more common, as improvements on existing technology become smaller and it's harder to tell who deserves the full credit.
DAEMON Tools Lite 10.5.1.0230 Crack and Keygen Download
If we look at the benchmarks where one can expect stalin to be fast (numeric, and more specifically floating point benchmarks.) stalin is really in it's own league.

The puzzle benchmark is nice, since it benchmarks many common compiler optimizations - with code written to be easily optimized. Stalin of course wins.

The other benchmarks are written in a more general style, which I have found does not always produce the best output with stalin. If I would spend some time optimizing these benchmarks, I could probably make Stalin come out on top a lot more often.

That, however, takes you are back to the old problem: A heavily optimized C program looks like C. A heavily optimized [insert functional programming language here. Most often haskell] program looks like shit.

What impresses me the most about chez is that it takes idiomatic scheme code, and produces neat and fast machine code.

It's just insidious though isn't it? There's a scare that we might have internet connected energy meters. You end up with dozens of devices that have connectivity and you don't actually know what they do. I have a satellite box, that I manually connect to the internet every once in a while for on demand services. But I have no idea what information it sends back. Could send back my entire viewing history for all I know. Or rather it might be collecting and storing data to later send.

I noticed my satellite box trying to pull a web page from my computer. Malware is another problem.

> So yes, it's possible your transactions will get reversed, but only if you've done something so horrendous that you've pissed off a large majority of the entire community

A large economic majority of the community, you mean. Which gets to the heart of my largest misgiving about these networks: They are so transparently libertarian in striving to embody the Golden Rule ("He who has the gold makes the rules"). If a big actor makes a mistake that benefits 1,000 small actors, the little guys still get fucked.

If the US operated like this, Bill Gates would have ~500,000 more votes than the average American. You could argue that wealthy actors already exert outsize influence on our meatspace contract system, but I'd argue it's to a much lesser extent, and anyway, I don't see Ethereum offering much of an alternative. They don't even pretend to try to strike a balance between individual and community justice.

Economic majority is a copout, and it looks an awful lot like feudalism. As a little guy, I'm hesitant to hitch my wagon to that particular star.
For most people thinking in the fourth (time) dimension should come naturally. It becomes complicated when there are multiple time-lines (threads) though, but JavaScript only has one time-line. You can have multiple time-lines in JavaScript via child processes and web workers though.
It has nothing to do with cumulative updates.

They push once a month because back in the day they pushed whenever they had an update, and enterprises really hated that because it meant that sometimes 1000s of computers were all out of commission running updates at the same time.

So MS and the enterprises agreed on a specific day of the month that updates would get pushed, so that the enterprises could plan accordingly as best fit their needs.

Some enterprises just run the updates that night and let everyone know to expect some slowness or downtime, and some of them only let the update run on their testing machines so they can validate the update in their environment before allowing it out to all the other machines.

But the main point is that the updates are predictable because that is what the customers asked for.
And also who in the back-end uses binary search? We're the people who invented NoSQL databases with HTTP/Json interface, because traditional databases were too much of a hassle.

The DBs implement the binary-search, not the back-end Dev.

For the average programmer, IMHO learning about data structures/algorithms makes you a better programmer, but it's not that essential.

The Algorithm Design Manual by Skiena is pretty great.

https://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena...

It's nearly a third of the length of CLRS, and half of Sedgwick. Much more precise, yet offers more in that it talks about common problem solving uses cases with data structures and algorithms, rather than writing going through the theoretical proofs behind them.
So if (nominally) billion dollar companies can't afford to go public (or it's not worth it), who can?

Another perspective is that there's a kind of members club investor thing going on, and the "actual market" (with their insistence on trivialities like profit and loss and audit of metrics) is an inconvenience to private games of high stakes poker that allow cap to be conjured out of powerpoint and closed door meetings. i.e, bulls%$t.

Personally I think AMZN proves that the market can evaluate growth focused companies that don't make money (compared to cap) just fine.

> It has nothing to do with cumulative updates.

well. Let's say you have 10 security flaws to patch. 9 patches are fine, but in 1 you have detected a show-stopping issue.

If all you can deploy is one cumulative update, then that one issue is stopping the whole update. If you can deploy patches one-by-one (all on the same patch day, yes, but still separate from each other), then you can ship 9 patches for 9 holes and hold the one patch back until next month.

Of course you could also create a new cumulative update containing only 9 patches, but I assume that's more difficult to do and will require more testing.

>Recently some African countries have withdrawn from the International Criminal Court on that basis; only the weak are prosecuted

Actually only two (Gambia and Burundi) has withdrawn arguing this. And in both cases, everyone knows the withdrawal is related to their own human rights abuses.

South Africa has announced its intention to withdraw (don't know if it's effective) because they believe it hinders its mediation efforts in conflict zones. (ie. we cannot help Uganda settle with the LRA because we're bound to arrest LRA leaders as soon as they set foot in South Africa)

It is definitely the case that a fair few of those 700k sloc are devoted to poking at and wibbling with Google infra specific things. Which is of basically negative value if you're some rando using it.

You are kind of proving my point that Microsoft, in fact, was not "revived" by Nadella.

2. Maybe it is being worked on and maybe it'll even be great. The problem is that people don't replace personal assistants every 2 years. They lost the first mover advantage.

4. Windows for enterprises, specifically server versions are cash cows. I fail to see the value (to Microsoft) of a developer getting into the .NET ecosystem if they intend to run your code on Linux.

5. It's true that free alternatives have always been around. But now, they are reasonably good. And more importantly, good enough.

6. Yes, it does. It's actually one of the few places where they could monetize people getting into their ecosystem.
If anything the cumulative patch is better, not worse. It's much harder to validate nine individual patches than a single cumulative update.

What happens if patch seven fails? How about six? How about six and seven? There are an exponential number of failure cases with multiple patches vs one.

Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan's Ultimate Mix Tape of the Human Experience
"The new kernel is MIT/BSD... Welcome to Tivoization all over again."

1) Linux doesn't prevent tivoization, either; it uses the GPLv2, whereas anti-tivoization language was introduced in the GPLv3.

2) If Google wanted to make this proprietary, they could've made this proprietary. Why bother releasing it under an absurdly-permissive license if they wanted it to be proprietary?

"I wish people understood the dangers of BSD style licenses"

I wish people understood the dangers of copyleft licenses, particularly strict ones. The same exact rules preventing reuse in proprietary products apply to other FOSS projects as well. The GPL's "compatibility" with other FOSS licenses is a one-way street.

BSD-style licenses are literally as free as you can get (short of a license that's functionally equivalent to a public domain dedication). Any other license adds restrictions and reduces freedoms. Absolutely nothing about this project indicates "proprietary"; the license choice indicates the exact opposite.
enterprises really hated that because it meant that sometimes 1000s of computers were all out of commission running updates at the same time.

If a computer has to go out of commission for a security update, you are doing it wrong (as an OS vendor). Doing cumulative updates is only band-aid. The real solution is make the OS modular and reliable enough to replace/restart components while it is running.

So many of the studies (http://www.aitinstitute.org/ait_clinical_studies.htm) seem to have small sample sizes or other issues (e.g. some have no control group). I'd love to see a large, well designed study to convincingly show the scientific validity or lack thereof of AIT, at least for people on the Autism Spectrum.

Draw your own conclusions from the studies that exist and the reviews. Based on those, to me, it doesn't sound promising.

I don't think using noops to get the parser to co-operate is that strange at all, especially not something like a makefile where whitespace is significant. It's the whole point of the `pass` noop in python: the Python grammar expects there to be something inside a loop, so if you want an empty one, you have to throw a noop in there.
