You only have to spend a little time consuming digital media to understand that products that rely on advertisements for income suck. As soon as subscription services started offering ad-free versions of their product, I started buying them.

I'm not saying it's the best way forward, but would it kill Twitter and Facebook and Snap to experiment with some of these models? It's working for content creators, why should social media platforms be any different?

At the very least, it makes sense to offer paid tiers of access for their APIs, which I get some of their "enterprise" clients are already doing, but certainly a great API is monetizable and worth paying for.

For those excited about the "Guile's Elisp implementation" in this release. The last major Guile release was 6 years ago, and much of this GuileEmacs work is still highly WIP and from my searching on emacs-devel seems to have stalled in 2015 for lack of volunteers.

Just because Guile implements Elisp the language doesn't mean there isn't a ton of work to be done on Emacs itself to swap out its native VM for Guile, and it seems nobody's keen on finishing up that work.
Rarely are you trying to convince the other person, in a public forum you're more arguing for the sake of those listening than trying to convince the person you're talking to.
The little guy can still succeed on Kickstarter/Indiegogo. We saw many bootstrapped campaigns do well (60% success rate), with videos made in-house or in the $1-$3k range. It's just that the amounts raised aren't as impressive, on average, $25k vs. the Millions attained by glossy campaigns with deeper pockets and expensive videos. Getting in the crowdfunding hall-of-fame has gotten harder, but crowdfunding is still an effective tool for small projects.
I'd feel better about paying my taxes if they were well-spent, and not patently wasted on wars, cronyism, and the latest political whims. Some of that is to be expected, but the degree of waste in the US system is appalling and seemingly nearly total.

After all, if you take pride in fresh new road surfaces and good schools, you also have to take some responsibility for our foreign policy.
What a coincidence, I just got my `Carte De Sejour` (Residence Card) today.
I am a Ugandan living in Paris.

Uganda was colonized by the British so the official language is English, I grew in the capital city (a different tribe from mine with a different culture and different language ) so back home when I visit my relatives who live far from the city (my ancestral home) I feel like a foreigner (they used to call us `city borns`).

Here in France, the French expect most black people to speak French and know about French culture (they colonized a number of West African countries ) but again in our country we speak English so you feel awkward and out of place.

To make things even more complicated my fellow East Africans (Kenyans, Tanzanians) speak Swahili so when they meet you they have this Swahili vibe but again Ugandan's don't speak Swahili we speak English...
So a foreigner at home and a foreigner abroad, HN is home :-).

> Windows 10 feels unfinished and buggy to me.

Everyone makes this point, no one elaborates it. How is it buggy and unfinished? I'm using it on 5 different devices with vastly different hardware profiles (1 modern gaming rig, 1 old gaming rig, 1 low end laptop, 1 convertible laptop, and 1 SFF PC) and they're all rock solid.

I also use Windows 7 on my work laptop daily and moving back and forth between the two OSes daily always makes me appreciate Windows 10. Minor enhancements like window snapping are very nice, fixes to many/large file copies are wonderful, and the ability to actually detect and utilize modern networking equipment is fantastic.

I can't think of a single thing that I prefer on Windows 7.
Data loss and corruption is always a lot more embarrassing. Did they have tests that ensure correctness (in data) of the slow version? Then they were already delivering on quality of the file system.
Many of these are remarkable and downright creepy. Some look like gaping skulls. IIRC the spikes you see coming out of the fireball are the guy wires securing the mast that the bomb was mounted on, which initially ignite faster than the fireball expands.
This may be true, but it's hard to get a sense of why you are or are not getting hired / getting interviews from the job-seeker's perspective, since you are not really privy to the decision-making process and can't really trust that the reasons given for them not hiring you are the real reasons (generally they don't owe you the truth and strategically it's often better not to say anything or to give some mundane reasons).

I've been involved in a small number of interview processes from the hiring perspective, and I've definitely seen some concern regarding job-hopping where it could easily make the difference on a marginal candidate. That said, this is only at one team in one company - and I was not involved in the initial resume screens (where people with a lot of job-hopping may have been eliminated entirely before I ever saw them). Probably would be best to get a broader perspective from people who have a lot more experience with hiring.

"Could" is a weak argument. People could all get along and love each other, but they absolutely never will. In that sense, the "could" is really an illusion formed from an imperfect understanding of human nature as the function of a large group, over time.

The super advantage of Lisp (including Scheme): Its format for defining data is the same as for writing code, making macros a natural part of the syntax: You can change your source code just like you’d change any other list (or rather tree) data type.

However all this can be represented fully without parentheses — and this is possible with Guile using a reader extension without losing any of its power. This is realized, for example, in wisp — a language frontend for Guile: http://www.draketo.de/english/wisp

It’s a full Scheme, but without the parentheses (behind the scenes it simply infers the parentheses, adds them and hands the result to the regular Scheme frontend in Guile).

Wisp is also standardized as Scheme Request For Implementation 119: https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-119/srfi-119.html

display "Hello World!" ↦ (display "Hello World!")

In short: I think this question is justified. But there are many people who start preferring parentheses when they get over the initial readability barrier.

Lol, effectively. A convert is basically a forward stock sale, so if you're TSLA you're basically saying "I get a pretty good cost of capital if my stock stays where it is, but if it goes up a lot, my company is probably in better shape than it was before I raised capital, so I'm more or less happy either way."
I agree; my undergraduate course (not in the US) wasn't even called Computer Science, it was "Software Engineering", but we definitively learned enough math to pass that test easily after the second year.
I also had an interview at Gitlab, and I was dinged for being from a smaller market. I thought the interview itself was very nice, straight forward, and friendly.

One thing that I thought was strange was the quiz/test at the end of each interview. I get that you want to make sure that the candidate has an adequate skill level, but I have a lot of open-source projects (hosted in GL), and I am (one of many people) horrible at live quizzes. Mostly because of nerves, being in an interview is stressful enough. The fact that I had to take a 30-45min quiz instead of going over my own code is not ideal. I just don't believe in standardized testing being a good measure to someone's ability. But, I really thought they were nice about it, and I wish them luck.
Or you could teach it in school. In Germany we had bicycle excursions in school, including a mock "cycling license exam" where we drove on a test track with various road signs and traffic lights.
> Without having the passphrase or encryption key to recover from, any data on that drive is useless to anyone that finds it.

Isn't it widely suspected the TLA's have backdoors to the encryption used SSD makers? eg depending on who you're wanting to keep things private from, using any built in SSD encryption might not be the right approach.
AIUI, unused Tesla parts are hard to come by and the expertise to actually service the vehicles is thin on the ground.

It is true that a Tesla dealership won't be able to charge for oil changes, but tires, suspension, interior fixes (e.g. power windows or that strange squeak) are still required.

It is an easy fix:. Don't charge much for the franchise given the alleged lower service volumes. How many would show up at a Tesla dealership and then be convinced to buy an ICE car? If possible, write the franchise agreement to prohibit colocation with other ICE brands.
Sure -- MS made it impossible to review the code given to them by the manufacturer. It's a Windows', or in other words, proprietary software problem.

Financial institutions will use R3. "R3 is an alliance of the world’s largest insitutions, with a mission to realise the benefits of distributed ledger technology." They will not use a blockchain with mining. They want to use a distributed ledger in which if party A-B have a transaction, the pertinent information is only available to A and B and possibly government regulators.

I think the distributed ledger will take over (R3, Hyperledger, Ripple), noone is going to take mining based blockchains seriously in a few years.

Tips for Developing Your First Custom Kong Plugin
I've never implemented an assembler but I did implement a few toy disassemblers and emulators and you'd need a bit more than a simple LUT for many architectures.

In particular some ISAs have "modular" opcodes so to speak, where a machine opcode contains several fields that can be mixed and matched. For instance the ARM instruction set has a 4 bit condition code in each instruction so "add" "addeq" (add if equal) and "addne" (add if not equal) are basically the same opcode with a different condition flag.

Furthermore not all instructions have necessarily the same layout, so your "LUT" must also contain enough information on how to pack the opcode and its operands correctly.

Lastly assembly opcodes don't necessarily map one-to-one with machine code, it's not rare that a single assembly directive would result in multiple machine opcodes.

For instance in MIPS assembly "li $t0, 0x42" will generate a single opcode (probably something like "addiu $t0, $0, 0x42") while "li $t0, 0x12345" will generate two ("lui $t0, 1; addiu $t0, $t0, 0x2345"). In ARM Thumb the "bl" instruction is actually encoded with two successive 16bit opcodes.

EDIT: actually I just remembered that I did implement a very basic MIPS I assembler, here's the codegen portion: https://github.com/simias/rustation/blob/master/src/assemble...

MIPS is a really simple ISA though, I suspect an assembler for x86 would be a lot more... more.

It shouldn't take that long... it's apparent today just how obvious the parallels are. Most people actively, intentionally do not think about it, which I suppose answers the questions of, "How could the Victorians have done that?!" History repeats because the collective human memory is short, and the average person is unaware of their own history.

It's not a game we can play forever though... the toys are much bigger now and globally impactful. If we can't figure this shit out before we run out of resources or spoil the planet for our civilization (or just nuke ourselves) we are done as an advanced society.
>Heck maybe there's fewer because C devs don't get lulled into thinking the language has their back?

You make the serious mistake of assuming all or the majority of C devs know how powerful the language is, or how to properly use a language like C. All software has bugs, true. It's just that C bugs tend to be a wee bit more dangerous than a lot of other bugs because of the raw power of low level languages like C.

Writing secure code in low level languages is tough, and it requires knowledge of all the pitfalls and nasty corners of the language, which many devs don't have the time, interest or desire to learn.

This isn't that different from what many other homeless people on the fringes of cities/towns accomplish. They setup some kind of make-shift shelter, and subsist via varying degrees of cleverness, begging or charity. The only difference with this guy is he never begged (he just stole), and the setting was slightly more rustic than usual. But for some reason people read this story and desperately try to make it more than it is, by awkwardly infusing this "wilderness survivalist" aspect into it, which really doesn't reflect what actually happened at all.
It's weird that you thought the correction was so meaningful and "that's cute" was such clever snark that it cajoled you to register a new account.
But is Khan Academy really so different to formal training? I mean, who is going to understand a Khan Academy video on solutions to 2nd order linear homogeneous differential equations if they have never learned any algebra? There is language in there that is necessary to explain it that they will have had to learn before.

It would be great for there to be more resources for learning maths outside being officially enrolled in formal education, but I don't think this has anything to do with the language used in mathematics being too terse or obtuse. Lots of good undergrad textbooks are no less understandable than a Khan Academy video, try those instead of Wikipedia.
In another life... :)
There is something off with the charts on the site you refer to (they don't provide the actual numbers in the charts).

Simple calculation:

With $20T of debt, at 3% interest rate (30Y bond), the interest on the debt is adding 600 billion dollars to the deficit per year (and it compounds).

600 billion with respect to the 3.8 billion federal budget is almost 16%.

And the interest rate is so low only because debt rates have been artificially suppressed by central banks using financial tricks such QE, the Fed buying its own's governments' debt, etc.

With interest rates bound to rise sooner or later, we are sitting on a financial time bomb.

Not saying that C is not to blame, but there seems to be relatively little code written in languages other than C that is as widely used.

Some people could see his point by thinking about it. To them he was a genius. Others thought he was a madman because his point was too hypothetical for them, but now that it's becoming a reality they can see he was a genius all along.
