This is not to say I'm not silently cheering each time a Space X launch succeeds.

The kids don't have to become professional Software Developers just because they learn a bit of programming. I let my kids draw, too, and don't expect them to become professional artists.

I think I know what you are getting at, there certainly seems to be the bias of Software Development being the best profession in the world.

But with STEM in general, what I personally care about is teach my kids rational and logical thinking, and of course the ability to build things. Occasionally I ponder dong a sewing course together with my kids, and I might one day. It's nice to have skills that you can build things with. But it is hard to beat the possibilities you have with programming.

Besides, it is a skill that could come in handy in many other professions, as well as a fallback line. Also, it is unfortunately the only thing I am good at, so what else am I supposed to teach my kids?

A lot of people simply don't care. They feel they can make it, they're skilled enough. It's actually similar to speeding, which incidentally is responsible for more traffic deaths and accidents - drivers don't give a fuck, they're smarter than the system.

The only way I know of actually beating some reason into people thinking like that is through heavy and sure penalties. Lots of alcohol spot-checks. Automatic ticketing for speeding measured via average, not instantaneous speed. DUI, you lose license. Speed, you're half-way to losing one.

Politically untenable perhaps, but I could see it making a dent in deaths on the roads.

Jury members, to be poignant about it, are not trusted to be objective. They are peers of the defendant. Historically they were the proletariat, and hence uneducated, base, and instinctive.

Judges are supposed to be people who can be trusted to be objective. They are chosen (or, before they were elected, and politics became divisive) for their trustworthiness and objective scholarship. Historically they were well educated, of a higher class, perceived to be of a higher moral character.

The point is judges are expected to be mostly objective, and use external information responsibly.

Not sure if that's really a taboo, it's been commonly expressed on many Internet message boards, often self-referentially.

I suspect it's actually more that the average commenter on a forum related to their field tends to be more skilled than the average worker in that field, because the average worker spends their workday reading other forums that are unrelated to their field, but the very best professionals in a field are usually not found on Internet forums, because they're doing their job instead of talking about it.
I find there tends to be a tension between going above and beyond, and striving to keep a culture of work life balance.

In fact I know some companies hate hiring from people who worked at places like Amazon, because they try to bring such a brutal overwork ethic that can ruin the balance other people are striving to achieve.
I work in the games industry and you would be surprised how often we get feedback for games which don't have any micropayments and which cost full $50 price - "please make a way to unlock everything quickly for a fee".

Just to be that guy. Yeah, it's cool that the language author built a text editor in under 50 lines, and there's a sort of geeky hacky appeal to trying to cram as much functionality as possible into as small a space as possible.

But what does it actually mean in terms of programming? How maintainable is "small code"? How readable is it? (Well, you answered that question already.) How hackable is it?

It's a curiosity, and a really fun one! But it's not practical.

Nice narrative, and especially the "bend and break the kids to conform with mainstream" rings a bell.

Yet I don't believe the major driving force is to free up women as laborers - schools have been existing way before women had the right to work or vote.

In my opinion schools and universities rather serve to breed out worker drones and the curriculums are based on corporate needs, not society's. And this has, especially in the last two decades, been visible in the EU with the Bologna reform. Classes with no direct economical advantage (arts!) are falling way behind classes in the STEM field.

This is not analogous. The analogy here is that the aftermarket stereo or different garage caused the faults which your Subaru is experiencing, and you are expecting Subaru to fix them.

Predatory pricing is a separate issue, but this is about whether Apple is obliged to make good on repairs to devices (both under warranty and at cost) where widespread component failure could have been caused by another repair shop or component. Would Subaru repair your engine if it stopped working after you replaced the camshaft with a different type of camshaft?

Section 4.4 in Structure and Implementation of Computer Programs [1] presents an implementation of a Prolog-like logic programming language in Scheme. It is very instructive to contrast it to the meta-circular evaluator of Scheme in that same book to see the similarities and differences.

Paradigms of Artificial Programming by Norvig also contains a chapter implementing Prolog in Common Lisp. The code can be found at [2].

This is the kinda hilarious thing about self-driving cars. Either the manufacturers are held responsible for nearly all accidents, in which case it is probably impossible to make money on them; or we accept that sometimes consumer electronics kill people in the street.
Where do they do it?
Because we're talking engine and speakers — it's common practice for cars to produce a louder engine noise through the speakers than what would be heard normally.

I found that another hard thing that feels like a prerequisite for leveling up further is getting the feel for design/architecture of medium-sized systems. There's a pretty awesome resource for that particular need - the series of books called "The Architecture of Open Source Applications".

http://aosabook.org/en/index.html

(The books are CC and free to read on-line :))

I'm just through the few first chapters of the first book, and I must say it's absolutely amazing. Each chapter gives some understanding of the thought process people designing (and iterating on) a known open-source project had.

> But gender roles, for example, are very much observable and very much facts of life, yet gender is still considered a social construct.

By some. IMHO, there's a lot of effort going on in believing and making believe that gender roles are social constructs in spite of all the evidence (evidence, not necessarily proof) of the contrary.

Money is equivalent to red traffic lights. Its value is conventional, but the convention itself is objective. Ignore it at your peril (you'll be run over by somebody).

If all humans disappeared, the existence of both gender roles (be them social or innate or, as very probable, a mix of the two) and money would still be as objective as dinosaur fossils are today. Our faith in the preciousness of human life would be on the same level (a fossil). The actual preciousness of human life, as a universal fact in itself, never existed in the first place.

Developing a "HTML5" game is a very great experience. The only HTML you need though is <!DOCTYPE html><meta charset="utf8"><canvas></canvas><script> ... </script> The rest is just JavaScript and interaction with the canvas.

Why do you think this would be a bad idea?
>>"can such a poor country really afford to go into space"

Trust me, every 'poor country' must have good science projects going. If not space projects, then at least some hard engineering ones.

This creates demand for local talent. Colleges and universities get built. Students come out with good degrees. Even if you say fail executing the the hard engineering project you end up creating a huge population of highly educated and trained people which later on go on to start companies and drive the economy.

This decision has to be made almost every single country, even more so poor nations. Because human resources development is the only way you can be a progressive healthy economy on a longer run.

>>I'm enthusiastic about ISRO being able to compete on price -- and it looks like they can go much further, considering that their labor costs are far less than they are for a private American space company, who I doubt can afford not to pay typical SF-style salaries to their engineers and designers.

ISRO is a government run firm, which hires Indian nationals who come out of local colleges. The kind of types no software company likes to hire, in fact you will be surprised most go for jobs there because they wouldn't have got jobs elsewhere. The pay is not all that great compared to the best Multinational corp pays, even by Indian standards.

Another aspect is that of frugal engineering. There a lot of risky things that ISRO only does many other space agencies don't.

Eg:

They were just 18 months away from the launch date, and ISRO was only beginning to cut metal. One of the foreign partners had then asked ISRO managers: "Are you serious?"

From: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/24959866.cms

Im not sure if NASA has such practices. In fact me be the exact opposite. In short ISRO makes failure cheap.

>>Maybe the first step towards making young engineers want to work at ISRO is to not, e.g. name the Mars mission, of all things, "Mars Vehicle" in Hindi?

Why not?

Indians works on these projects if they don't name the project in their language what other language should they call it in?

Am I? Did you read the bit about how they reclaim memory used for initialisation and convert it to heap space? How is that going to work with Java?!

I tried to find information about MicroEJ but their website doesn't really tell you anything. I assume it supports something like Java Card rather than actual Java.
In practice, I seem to end up with a `sed` or `perl` script to mangle one string format into another between processes anyway. And then it all breaks between systems because half the most common commands have different defaults between systems.

You can't even encode lists of strings in a format that's reliably understood by all UNIX programs.
Given the lead time it takes to develop a satellite project and have it ready to launch, there may even be a danger that within a year or two SpaceX will have so many boosters on hand and ready to go that there won't be enough demand around to meet their capacity. They already have a handful of re-flyable boosters lying around. The limiting factor on SpaceX will be their ability to churn out second stages. I'm sure that would balance out eventually, but it could take years for the customer demand to catch up with them.
Not sure if you're being serious or not, but if I had to do it today, instead of:

`ls | filter-hidden | sort | add-directory-slashes | mark-symlinks | mark-executables | colorize | display-in-grid`

I'd start with this:

`ls | nodot | sort | slash | dec | c | grid`

I imagine there's an even better way, I just haven't spent very much time thinking about it.

There's an argument that this could be even more convenient than existing flags—`slash` could work on output from other commands, like `find`—only I don't have to pull up a man page for `find` since I'm not as familiar with it as I am with `ls`. That's the idea behind this kind of composability.

If this is actually too much typing or you're not happy with the defaults, a few bash aliases would go a long way towards making this shorter. For instance, you could alias `ls` such that it colorizes, sorts, and hides dotfiles by default.

Maybe to quote one verse:

Breaking free of gravity, moving industry
Beyond the planet's surface into space
Lunar mines and factories, Lagrange Point colonies,
Total productivity and nothing goes to waste
Solar-sailing ships deployed to mine the asteroids
While Earth becomes a paradise, her ugly scars erased

If you want a more "vivid" and detailed view of how this may look like (good and bad sides), I'd recommend "The Expanse" book series (and TV show) - a hard sci-fi about humans who just begun expanding throughout the Solar System.

There are lots of useful things to do in space, but we need to bootstrap a profitable economy in space to get there.

Except that it can be. I have a friend who installed a rear-view dashcam by wiring it directly to the 12V line running through the back of the car, and the car would start throwing all sorts of engine errors until you removed the camera. It was basically drawing too much power on a line that was only designed for certain power draw and causing a computer error elsewhere.

My point is, that cars are incredibly complex machines, and it's very hard to say with absolute certainty that "changing component X won't affect component Y".
I wrote an open source editor with some buddies 10 years ago and still use it on a daily bases. That was built around codemax. A month ago, me and one of those friends picked it up again for a new revision and started retooling using Scintilla.

Some of the standard features from codemax have to be rebuilt, but I'm still very impressed.

How much wear and tear for a robot that is just sitting still listening to the internet uplink? If only every tenth of all cars currently stored on public parking would be hailable robots you would get very comfortable availability even in the remotest village. Occasional idle rebalancing drives would probably be less common than the idle leg of current “go pick someone up“ or “bring someone somewhere and return" trips.

If robot taxis happen, they won't be just like regular taxis without a driver. The mix between investment, hourly cost and per mile cost would change a lot, making entirely new business models possible and shifting the optimization peaks of existing ones.

Personally, if I would somehow happen upon a dozen robot taxis to turn into a business, I would select elderly people in a rural area as my target audience. Not your typical early adopter and quite some natural churn (short age window between should not drive anymore but still able to take care of themselves), but you get awesome ad targeting if you put out flyers in the doctor's waiting room. Oh, and you need to hire the one taxi driver who currently serves the doctor's appointment market in that area as your support guy who chats all the nice old ladies through the introductory phase over the car's hands free.
