>...significantly lower dot pitches become completely unusable.

Correction/clarification: significantly higher* dot pitches, as in lower pixel density. "Completely unusable" was meant in the sense of how it'd feel to return to 800x600 after being accustomed to 1080p. 4K is four times 1080p, so it's roughly comparable.

It wasn't my intention to offend anyone with poor eyesight, or suggest that people ruin theirs. Just that it's possible to get used to really low (dense) dot pitches, and once you do it's simultaneously really enjoyable and weird at the same time.
The result of the 2007 antitrust case was that microsoft could not ship IE anymore, but instead had to offer users a dialog offering to install chrome, firefox, IE or others from 2010 on.

This was part of why Chrome quickly rose after that. The other part was that Google became anticompetitive.
My understanding is that in some cases, Amazon will blend together FBO items in their warehouse, mixing the stock that Amazon sells with the stock that other vendors send it to be sold. They're assuming that for a new book, the items are fungible, so it doesn't matter. This breaks when scammers print lower-quality counterfeit copies that appear identical at first glance. You order "Sold by Amazon.com", but when they grab one off of the shelf, you get the copy that "123Books" added there.

Ha. No thanks. If I go to use FedEx and flash is required I'm just going to use a different carrier.

They are just delaying the inevitable. I bet there's some higher-ups at FedEx who still like flash and refuse to give it up.
Amazon is ~24 years old and already larger than all of them except Samsung (which they'll catch soon enough).

For example, Amazon is drastically larger than 3M. Four times the market cap, four times the sales. Not to mention 3M's business has been contracting for years, meanwhile Amazon is full speed ahead. So that gap will grow dramatically in just a few years. Amazon will hit $200 billion in sales in a few years, while 3M will have seen zero growth (Amazon will be 7x larger then).

Your comparison doesn't make much sense today. It'll make zero sense tomorrow. Samsung is the sole company in that group that will be comparable in just three or four more years.

Borland's IDE has a huge nostalgia factor for me, it was the first IDE that made it so I didn't have to think about linking and the rest of the toolchain, I could just hit 'Build'.

But while most of our tooling for Software Engineering is pretty archaic. I think there is a tooling revolution going on now, especially with new languages: autoformatters, graduation typing, memory ownership checkers, etc. I feel like as an industry we are slowly starting to take tooling seriously.

Seems like a misleading title to me. I read it as saying that you have a choice of ordering without Flash at a higher price. In fact, Flash is a straight requirement no matter what, and they're offering a code for $5 off in an attempt to compensate people for the hassle of installing it.

So really, you're getting $5 off for starting the process without Flash. If you already have Flash installed, you'll never see this page and never get the discount code.

Obviously they should stop requiring Flash, but the title doesn't seem to accurately describe things.
When a C# programmer sees any call to code they don't know - property or function - they should know its complexity is O(?) and will (hopefully) vet it before calling it in a tight performance sensitive loop.

I get that someone could say "Go has fields, and they're always fast" and that seems like a great facility of the language, but any C# developer that says similar about instance members is wrong, and has some invalid assumptions about the language they use.
That would be an great app. The user could globally set their fake name and email address -- for example I'd use my old Yahoo mail that I keep for spam storage... in the cloud(tm)!!! The app could query and update a central store of signup sequences for known sites (the names & order of the fields to supply, or even a sequence of fake keystrokes to send when the time comes, kind of like KeePass's auto-type feature).

So by that definition of magic, something like ranging over a channel is magic?

It looks like a simple for each loop, just like over a slice or map, but under the covers involves locking semantics.

If so, I guess I'll buy that definition of magic, I'm not sure thats any different than knowing what the language does.

It's not that hard really. Anyone who's worked on a large codebase knows how easy it would be for someone to slip in a vulnerability that looks like a simple coding mistake. There's even a contest for producing such code: http://www.underhanded-c.org/

Keep in mind that Western tech companies knowingly hire tons of foreign nations who are presumably loyal to their home nations (as is natural), and a large portion of whom have their entire families still living there too.

(Which is not to say that they shouldn't hire foreigners. There are similarly bad incentives for domestic nationals as well, who can make hundreds of thousands of dollars per exploit on the grey market. The problem is that the engineering processes and standards for software are nowhere near as robust as they need to be considering the ubiquitous access to and control of our society that technology has.)

The Typescript compiler is also happy to run directly inside the browser because it is itself written in JS. I've debugged projects where the TS is compiled at runtime inside the browser and F5 refresh is the entire build process.

Though it's just as easy to use a good IDE's build button (VSCode Ctrl+Shift+B for instance) or TS works well as a watch process that watches for saves and compiles them when you save.

Agree, Windows is optimized for multiple smaller monitors; 3x24" works great for me. Not sure I'd be able to use a 32" single monitor setup as well.

(Being able to snap windows to half of the screen was one of the biggest UI quality of life improvements I can remember in a long time. MacOS is lagging on this one, as they are optimizing the experience for one screen.)
And go can not write abstract functions and methods.

I can not write a function dealing with arbitrary values.

Somethind I’d do in Java with

public static <T extends IIncrementable> T increment(T val) { val.increment(); return val; }

is impossible to do in Go.

You can not abstract over types, and write metric fucktons of duplicated code. I’ve tried porting some of my Java code, and it quickly grew to some classes being duplicated hundreds of times, once for every type. Fixing bugs became a nightmare.

Hm - what's the impact of roof solar in California? My brother's electric rates went from $0.24 per kwh to $0.46 and we suspect its because the power company is recouping its losses from buying all that off-peak rooftop generation at retail rates. So he's installing rooftop solar too, just so he's on the other side of that equation.

relevance: its popular enthusiasm that got the buyback rate set at retail instead of wholesale. Thus fueling a statewide boom in pointless rooftop solar.

It's clear that if a powerful language was such a competitive advantage, languages like Haskell would rule the world - instead they're hardly used for business projects.

Along comes Go and in 8 years people have built more production code with it than probably all the functional programming languages of the world combined. If that's not true yet, it will be soon the way the trend is going. And those languages have been around for many decades.

I think this means Paul Graham was wrong - a powerful language isn't a killer advantage. Other things matter more. Like simplicity that means being able to read other people's code and cooperate on a large code base. Strong language tooling. A batteries included standard library. Being able to hire developers not skilled in language X and get them up to speed quickly.

At the end of the day it seems pragmatic wins.
A fair number of systems created here haven't grokked the behavior of (-), leading to models that don't actually behave as intended. I admit, it took me a few tries to notice, myself. The description given for relationships doesn't help, suggesting that (-) does nothing more than changing 🡩 to 🡫. Having three options, more (🡩), less (🡫), and flip (↕) would have been clearer and more versatile.

In go, there are a minimal amount of primitives (like channels, slices) to learn. Once you know them, they're fairly intuitive.

In C#, properties can be arbitrarily complex. You can't just know how properties "work" and then do mental shorthand on them. Every time you look at a new codebase you might have to dig through several files to find out what one line does.
To actually answer the question - yes it holds true, yes it scales (in my experience). There are a lot of abstractions that we built for Juju. And we absolutely tried to ensure there was only a single source of truth for everything. It would have been totally unworkable if we couldn't reuse logic etc. We may not always have chosen the best abstraction, but that's a problem in any language.
They do not have the international scale of Amazon. Walmart is non-existent in a lot of countries.
I noticed that a while ago. I thought I was just doing something wrong.
I don't think you understand how this works. I can charge you $10 for a candy bar with GST included and make $.95, or I can charge $10 + 5 cents gst and make $10.

It's not at all the same thing as you previously suggested.

The entire point of this conversation here is that $10 + 5 cents gst is a price increase if you weren't bothering to charge a tax at all.
Outside of speed benefits as compared to ruby, one of the main things going for crystal is it's ability to use all of the robust tooling that already exists. This post mentions it in passing but Crystal gets the benefit of all the existing tooling without having to build it as part of delivering the language to developers. I think that's a huge win. I also think this is one reason why Crystal has grown fairly quickly. This could largely but due to the fact that it's built upon LLVM. Regardless, the community and documentation is pretty awesome. I can't wait to see what happens for the 1.0 release.
Its a reasonable issue - historic (estimates) of CO2 levels were not out of line with current levels. Yet historicly the world's ice hadn't melted. Is something else going on? Perhaps in concert with rising CO2?
Yes, and people are so great at making sure they access https addresses and never ignore a "this may not be secure" warning.

And you're still ignoring the major parts. What someone actually needs to do is much easier than all this, and Netflix has already lost if they end up in court with an innocent person.

If you want me to prove accounts have been compromised, look at all the account breaches over the past few years, think of how many reuse passwords.
You're using a non-recurring charge to try to make a wider point.

2015 had a $10 billion non-recurring, non-cash charge. Without that, your entire premise collapses.

The easiest way to poke a giant hole in what you're proposing, is to look at cash production from operations, which is the ultimate gauge of profitability. Their cash production the last two years is not the lowest over the past 10 years.

Net operating cash flow for 2016: $33 billion. Higher than 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012.
Wal-Mart, probably. They bought Jet.com, which is effectively Amazon retail. I've tried it and it works just fine.

Amazon's definitely the 900 lb gorilla of convenience, but the BATNA of simply not using them is not really a material concern for the normative middle-class consumer who can drive to Target.
Seriously. I just started looking into Common Lisp last weekend, and if it weren't for the active communities on Reddit and IRC, you'd get the impression that the language was abandoned some time in 2012.

Literally not worth the time or loss in trust. I don't use anything closed source on most of my machines (without proper sandingboxing).

The main machine I have with closed source software gets only one credit card, with a low limit and that is for steam.

I would be setting up VM for this. More likely I would just call and get what I need or switch carriers.
It would be too expensive/time consuming to wrap packages. Boxing and taping is much more efficient at scale.
They are getting larger. You're looking too far back. After the Great Depression, policies were enacted which served as dampers to improve system stability. They worked for quite a while. But eventually these policies were eroded or repealed, and other societal factors came along which degraded stability, so the oscillations picked up again, and grew larger and larger (think 80s S&L crisis, '00 dot-com crash), culminating in the '08 recession. Now we're going to have a much bigger one with Trump and the GOP in office. If this one doesn't cause a collapse, the next one will.

This pretension is exactly why there is so much animosity towards "techies" who sneer at anyone not working in a technical discipline.
If you are really in a hurry and can't commit to learning the hundreds of forms in Common Lisp, Scheme is a minimalist alternative. The entire language has only a few forms on which make up everything else.
It's not a terrible diversion, but it is very US-centric.

Currently the fossil fuels industries and other "old school" extraction industries tend to align with the Republican party in the United States.

The issue is less "Republican party" and more those certain industries that stubbornly resist the notion a concept that could damage their businesses. I get the impression, for instance, that the much-maligned Koch family privately is aware of climate change. However, being in an industry that would be impacted by any regulatory push, they put up all psychological blinders to not only deny it -- but actively pursue an agenda against it. And they are not the only extraction industry leaders that do this.

That Upton Sinclair quote comes to mind: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it".

I do not know if there is a similar situation in other countries; it's going to take more than just United States industry direction to slow down climate change, after all.

They say, that Go is different and special this way, in that advanced Go code, doesn't look all that different from average Go code

Anyway, I can't really judge, I never looked or tried to learn Go, hence (They say)
