When I was 20 I'd tend to agree with you. Now well into my 30s I don't. I don't remember a ton of stuff anymore you think I would, including signing up for services.

Plus you have to trust the user thinks everything through and associates "I don't want Facebook anymore for its primary purpose" with "I use Facebook for other things too."
Part of the problem is that they are combining US and British (bbc) tv production schemes. The US focuses on market data, the box ticking. But this requires ongoing feedback during production. That's why US pilots are so different than the eventual series. The bbc selects a show for production run without data or pilots. They rely on expert opinion to greenlight a far shorter initial run. If a show is a miss it disappears after six episodes. Netflix is doing both, resulting in shows that lack market feedback during a long season (iron fist) yet also seem to be boxticking (stranger things). This is a tricky path and while sometimes it works (stranger things) often it doesnt (ASOUE).
> Rust has checked multiplication enabled by default in debug builds, and regardless of that the OOB wouldn't be possible.

That bug is only triggered by an unrealistic corner case (username longer than 512MB). Run-time check in debug build won't help unless you realize the possibility before hand and put a unit test for that. I am more interested in the second part of your comment: "the OOB wouldn't be possible". How does rust protect against such integer overflow caused by multiplication? Thanks in advance.

A forgotten favourite of many great thinkers. Forgotten for a reason!
It makes sense. For most people entertainment is about escapism after all.
1. Is this not what cable subscribers always wanted?

2. You can just buy the show in most cases if a sub does not suit you.

3. The nickle and diming is real. I still do not spend as much, but its getting close. I feel the quality (compared preimum cable) is higher however.

A compiler bug isn't the fault of the language though (edit: although on rereading you may not have intended to agree with that part).
Can we at least agree that they are seeking to "maximize variables and checkboxes" much less now than in the past?

They started with Game of Cards and Orange is the New Black which are the strongest examples in history of creating content based on what data tells you people want, because those were their first few series and they couldn't afford to have them flop.

Nowadays, they make such a wide range of shows, they can afford to sometimes just take a risk on giving talented people money and hoping they make a great show that finds an audience.

>I've been developing a game with some friends for two years now.

Ask your friends to talk over Skype in your stead.
Well the gap is certainly smaller now, but remember there was a time not too long ago where HBO straight up refused to do online, stand-alone content. Sites like http://www.takemymoneyhbo.com/ were started just by people who wanted to watch the content the way they already were on services like Netflix.

The other thing that differentiates it from traditional cable is the experience. Because of a package deal, I also have cable for the next year, and it is bombed out and depleted. Not just in terms of content, but in terms of when that content is on and the very UX of the interface. The amount of lag changing channels on a modern digital receiver from a major cable company would get you fired as a web developer if your website lagged the same. It is truly remarkable.
For some reasons, SSL is not working in Chrome on Mac for some ... and I don't get why. Sorry for that!
This is correct. If you buy it on Steam you get access to an offline/local server, in addition to being able to play in the persistent universe for free but with a severely limited CPU cap. There is also a way to purchase CPU time with ingame currency similar to EVE Online.

Parsing is IMO of all the complaints you could make about C/++ rather bikesheddy. Parsing is a solved problem. Modern compilers can parse millions of LoC per second. And most of the specific parsing-related complaints (pointer dereference or multiplication?) about C/++ are also true of Rust. (Edit: Nope, brain fart on my part, see below). And, AFAIK, all C/++ parsing is well-defined, if counterintuitive in certain edge cases.
Show HN: Rezi Instant – A Slightly Better Resume Generator
Girlfriend has climbed the ranks in a bank over the years to a pretty decent pay right now. The tellers you talk to when you walk in generally have a degree to a masters level education, and make about 28k to 35k CAD. Outside of tech and a select few other industries, jobs like this are pretty competitive with limited payoff. That 60k entry job (here at least) that is the norm for CS and other eng disciplines is a pipe dream for many with more general degrees.

> So using Linux, Windows, BSD or MacOS servers are malpractice?

If you sell it as "secure", yes absolutely. And there are many applications where you would not be even considered as a contractor for doing so. There is increasing number of situations where you want to provide hard guarantees (written in contract) about quality of the software and service you are providing. "we are using Linux" sometimes is not good enough.
So how is it worse?
I find it rather implausible that we've managed to learn a lot of new things about operating system design and nothing about language design when the last major new operating system design to see significant adoption was probably NT in 1993, and we've had boatloads of new languages see adoption since then. Because the talent and effort is going to go where the rewards are, and if designing new languages is more productive than developing new operating systems, I would think that's where most of the energy is going. The inverse of Sturgeon's Law is that 20% of everything isn't crap, and the more of something you have, the larger that 20% is.
Well, the general point still applies. The bug occurred using code that was written in a safe language and compiled to C. It's just that there are multiple ways for that to go wrong. The generator could have had a bug -- it's software, so it almost certainly does. Or, as in this case, the user didn't use it correctly. Either way, the idea that you can write code in a safe language and compile to C to eliminate the type of bugs that C allows isn't true.

Are such errors less likely? Possibly so, but they're not categorically eliminated. It becomes a risk assessment exercise rather than a simple thing that everyone should do. Note that it also opens the door to Java-style problems, where once the generator becomes ubiquitous, it becomes the most valuable target for exploit-hunting because a vulnerability in the generator gets the keys to all the houses.
The validity of the reasons doesn't come into this because the point isn't that "possessing lobsters being illegal is stupid".

I'm missing shows of that caliber on Netflix.

I quite like that Netflix isn't focusing on mega hit prestige shows like those you mention, but rather seem to focus quirky niche shows like Dirk Gently, A Very Secret Service and The Expanse that aren't to most peoples taste.
I read Catch 22 when I was about 14 or so - it was literally the first "grown up" novel that I read that wasn't dry science fiction and it completely enthralled me.

What did I learn from it? Possibly this:

Around 2005, I converted about 3 AOE2 playing friends into StarCraft players. I had created some melee and team based maps over the years prior if I had an idea, but it wasn't long before everyone was making their own maps. For a while, there was a new one about every other week. We would call each other about every night asking if we could get on B.net, then wait 20 minutes if there was a new patch.

Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert.

The why is because it's extremely enlightening.
Indeed not a very interesting read at that point, the idea itself is nice but pretty obvious. There is also nothing concrete about tackling the hard tasks like power supply or interfacing with the keyboard yet.

The author only briefly talked about the LCD driver board but didn't even mention which one he bought let alone share any experiences how it worked out. A "look the screen shows the output of the pi now, thats how I did it" or "I tried … and the screen is still black, not that easy as thought" would have been a better start for submitting such an article series to a wider audience.
The Winter of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck. There are probably better novels that I liked more, although this one is good and I liked it and it's kind of silly to pair off great works of literature Highlander-style, but I think this one has the most to say about a person's own approach to American capitalism and morality, and therefore has had more of an impact on me day-to-day.
I closed my blog last year, after more than ten years of creating admittedly uneven quality content. The impetus for me was that I was getting relatively good traffic but engagement was non-existent. I came to the conclusion I wasn't really getting anything out of it anymore, as far as I could tell neither was anyone else, and general IT blogs are a dime a dozen.

Absolutely, attracting a blog audience has become harder. The collapse of Google Reader, followed by the rise of Youtube and social media has caused this. You just don't build an audience for a blog anymore. You build an audience for your social media channels instead, and your blog becomes part of the content you share. It's now a delivery platform only.

So the question becomes instead how to a) attract social subscribers and b) get your content shared. Your content needs to cut through a lot of noise to get noticed. With very few exceptions I would say the answers for most blogs would be

1) produce content regularly, like clockwork

2) specialize into something unique to attract core followers first, you can always broaden later

3) compete with the big guys either in quality or in click-bait generation

I wouldn't branch too far out as far as cross-posting to different social networks is concerned. Identify 1-3 platforms and really engage people on those. Don't just spew links into the void.
I like the optimism of keeping symbols of Ireland and Scotland on the coin. Of course, those could become ironic in the not-to-distant. The leek seems safe, though.
Yes, I have watched the UK one(s), and the first season of the US one. The US first season is very similar to the UK one. Some "localisation" changes are to be expected, and it's still called a "remake" in that sense, at least at the start.

I've got a tie between two books:

1) Design of Everyday Things
by Dan Norman

This book ruined my life. I highly recommend it. Every engineer, manager and designer should read this. Maybe every human. I think of this book every time I try to pull a push door, every time I reach the bottom floor of a stairwell and notice the design that might save my life one day, and every time I try to struggle to operate a television or a microwave.

2) Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion
by Robert Cialdini

This book helped me understand myself and everyone else. For example, I now understand why I double down on dumb ideas. I also catch a lot more marketing and sales tricks.

Edit: Sorry, just now realized that I broke the 1-book rule, but it's probably too late to correct this and it's really hard to choose between these two anyway.
Of course not, but I am only using Hetzner as some measure of current network costs, because I know Hetzner pricing quite well. So of course I would additionally need server costs, staff, and so on. But if we assume that everything included we end up at a order of magnitude more, your .01 USD/GB, that is still a movie a day for the entire month before we really have to worry about distribution.

CPython also has many vulnerabilities in python rather than C.

It's hilarious reading rust marketers talk about how people should use rust, and yet their software doesn't work as well. It has plenty of bugs.

Then they go on and on about issues which post modern C doesn't have. Guess what? C has a lot of tooling, and yes, it's been improving over the years too. CQual++ exists. AFL exists. QuickCheck exists.

Can your rust project from two years ago even compile? Does it have any users at all?

(Data/Infographic)Why Entry-Level Tech Talent Turns Down Opps
The Gospel of John.

A palpable sense of mystery is maintained from start to finish, but it arguably does better than any other book in the Bible at giving a deep look into the person of Jesus as he was seen and believed in by the early church. Additionally, there is a subtle sense of humor as the gospel author clearly enjoyed language and word plays and describes multiple misunderstandings that occur because of the ambiguity of language.

Probably more than any other book, this book has shaped me on a personal level.

(If you're going to read it, I highly recommend a modern translation such as the ESV, NKJV, or HCSB.)

Hi, I'm the author of Onigmo regex library.

I'm not sure that negative look-ahead/behind are formally regular expressions. (There is a (Japanese) paper which says that they are formally regular expressions, but I don't understand it.)

However, the absent operator is formally regular expression.

I translated the main points of Tanaka Akira's paper very roughly.

Supply Side Health Care Reform
> So, suppose that someone said, "At some point we should just accept that ransoms will happen" and so simply stop supporting the FBI and let bad guys kidnap any family of billionaires whenever they want, and to have these billionaires start paying ransoms.

No one is saying we shouldn't attempt to stop an attack that is known, or that we shouldn't investigate who carried out and authorized an attack and seek justice. The primary role that government serves to the people with respect to crime is the serving of justice. Protection from all things harmful and crime prevention are not guaranteed. Anyone trying to sell you such guarantee is either lying or delusional.

The more we realize we are responsible for our own well being, take responsibility, and keep a watchful eye, the safer and better off everyone will be. When it's finally understood that people will protect themselves and deny a terrorists ability to carry out a plot, the less of these monsters we'll have to deal with.
They see themselves as the most likely targets for this type of attack. Whether they are or not is up for debate. They are also governments supported by very scared populations that want thier governments to be the most publicly strict. Of all nations, the US and UK most enjoy the security theatre.

Very long time ago I was trying to program many matroids algorithms, let's say that matroids are a generalization of vector spaces and independence, in prolog. I could program those algorithm in many languages, for example in Lisp, but programming in Prolog was very painful. I think that prolog related programming is a useful tool when the program is similar to those solved by forward chaining but in other cases I can't not see the benefits, the dismissal of Prolog in day to day programming seems to reflect that sentiment.

Living the Lean Startup with clojure.spec
I've got an old Asus L3000D from early 2000 in a bag. I took it out and looked at it. The keyboard is great, the screen is almost 1:1, a two buttons touchpad, floppy disk, DVD recorder, mic, audio jack, two 1394 ports (I forgot what they are), parallel, serial, VGA, two USB (1.1?), PCI express?, ethernet and modem :-) TV out, PS2 mouse and keyboard.

The Four Agreements by Don Ruiz. It's a short and simple book about four rules of life which you can use anywhere.

1. Be impeccable with your word. You can read this as "don't swear", but it's not about that. It is about the constant and continuing things we say to ourselves that make us feel bad. We don't even know we do this. And it's not about big things, it's about the thousands of small reprimands we give ourselves that hold us back living our life.

2. Don't take anything personally. When someone else says something to you, good or bad, it shows how they feel. What they say is about them, what they think is important, what is relevant for them. It's not about you. This doesn't mean that you can ignore it, but it shines another light on things other people say about you, or about others to you. This applies to "good things" as well. If someone gives you a compliment, it tells something about them. And of course it works as well for the things you say or do - they tell something about you.

3. Don't make assumptions. Don't think you know what other people think, or that you know why they do the things they do.

4. Do your best. You can't always live your life following rules. Do your best, and if you break a rule, bad luck, next time better! That means that you can forgive yourself. And it means that you should not give up after a big fuck up. Or a small fuck up, or many fuck ups. You can start over again at any moment.

The book is much better at explaining. It's about 60 pages, worth the effort.
But you can't have your cake and eat it too. The language does not implement those checks because perhaps they're not so trivially implementable in the language.

Sure, rust is "safer" than C, but is it a better language? that's arguable.
Game of Cards would be an interesting watch.

One series I've enjoyed recently is The OA which is definitely not a box-ticking exercise of a series - the complete opposite. I'm happy it's been renewed for a second season, but I can't imagine it's driving any revenue directly.

I would recommend the stairway book and the coursera course. I would also steer away from the some of the other recommendations posted here, including "Functional Programming in Scala", which are basically teaching you how to write Haskell in Scala. I don't think this is a good way to learn Scala because I don't think Haskell-style code makes for effective Scala.

That's true, and the bad is stuff is unusually bad, but at the same time my monthly fee stays the same. Meanwhile, at a movie theater a bad movie costs me and my wife about $100 with babysitting, parking, and modest concessions like a soda and a box of raisenettes. Netflix-style services simply are more forgiving because of the small monthly flat-fee. Bad content is easy to skip and you're not being punished financially as long as good stuff is still being created to offset the bad.

I won't fault a 25% fail rate. Hollywood as a whole, or even if we look at individual well-funded studios, must be shooting at an 75% fail rate here.
The main difference is that operating systems are complicated and programming languages (are supposed to be) simple. The biggest strength of C is its simplicity - there's not much that can go wrong with such a small feature set. I find Go to be pretty strong for similar reasons.
