Old before my time, one would be genuinely and irrevocably aghast at the strides and leaps of this Faulkner-centric nobody as he strove 24/7 three decades with four hours not five hours sleep so critical infrastructure could be upheld in a major city and rumored to be half a man, and treated as such VS 1880 credit where credit is due. As noun and adjective and adverb and such, commas parenthesis and the like, have their place in the pay-for-coding and startup my startup nicely vs a bit unwise, one would be cautioned to be cautious, multiply and with thesaurus in hand if need be, if only to save the USA from overspending creeping in, in modern 1990 times vs 1880 rhymes, and as such commission a commission, or at least citizenry vote first happenstance and rollback opportunity, before any such, I got mine, here is a cake mix, vs the time honored I got mine, here is a textbook of yore. In other words, a standard thing if and when it suit the Lord as on Mr Goodenough's wall in 1880, vs the multple Lords, or portending to be, no not-good-enough Lords walls, nowadays, preparing to tax and spend some more before the wise full-term Mr goodenough has his say so in the matter. Or, most of the respondents to this thread, or within it.
All I have the compentency, or time, to say in the matter at the first post, as there are ... hmm only 1? I thought tens... well, I am not commenting as the second one in. In fact, if you read the above, you did not read it. [ half in jest, apologies but I thought I would have a lot more to say... and
more posts would have already been made. One may forgive the intonation I was asking anything directly of the persons who usually post to direct their answers to me, as the number two post, vs pass my post by, skimming as one reads the other more say-so
as full-term persons ones. Thanks.
That...has very, very little, perhaps nothing, to do with your prior post. It is also silly, because proprietary code exists and is necessary to use Linux in the way people want to use it. A static ABI is not stupid if it enables users to do the things they want to do with a tool--namely, use nVidia hardware effectively and optimally. That the Linux kernel doesn't support that is not a feature when their userbase is a rounding error of all nVidia users and are in no position to be making demands.
I'm confused about your argument because it seems essentially an appeal to restrain discourse to agreement with Andreesen. Anything else is "hijacking" or "superfluous soapboxing"? You even go so far as to characterize him as a ho-hum guy under undeserving attack, even though he himself feels free to publicly attack things like anti-colonialism in India when it serves his business interests.

You may feel that the level of discourse has declined, but our social context has shifted quite a bit too. In an era of extreme wealth inequality, the tech industry and venture capitalism have taken on new and perhaps darker connotations. It's fine to walk away from that discussion, but I don't think doing so is to the benefit of understanding the reality of our circumstances.
You're speaking out of your behind. Of course the signs are arbitrary with respect to their signifiers, that's any language, but there are still mappings between signs and their signifiers. English is no difference, am I supposed to know what a 'm' sounds like by looking at it? Look up the Rebus principle, it happens in every language.

And with respect to the phonetic shifts, from a linguistic perspective, most changes of the phonetic radical involve one change of the initial sound, i.e. bilabial to interdental, dental to alveolar, voiced to unvoiced. With respect to the phonetic inventory of the language, these shifts are only one feature shifts within an old SPE framework. These small featural differences, whether conscious or not, (usually unconscious because we acquire languages during our infancy) are picked up and used by the speaker of the language to categorize words.

>Note though that the parent refers specifically to handguns.

Also there are limitations on the locations where open-carry of unloaded handguns aren't allowed. Specifically, [1] states those locations as:

(A) A public place or public street in an incorporated city or city and county.
(B) A public street in a prohibited area of an unincorporated area of a county or city and county.
(C) A public place in a prohibited area of a county or city and county.

...it would seem like you could open carry unloaded handguns in unincorporated counties where it isn't specifically prohibited. Are their any of those places in California? National Forest areas would be one area I'd first look at. A google search comes up with unincorporated areas:

https://www.google.com/search?q=unincorporated+areas+of+cali...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Unincorporated_commun...

...in fact it appears there there are no incorporated cities in Alpine County:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_County,_California

...but of course there could be other regulations that prohibit open carry of handguns in those areas.

This is amazing. I've started to learn Elixir recently, and as a result my interest in Erlang and BEAM has been piqued. I'm sure a lot of this will be over my head for now, but looking forward to digging in.
There isn't a formula for success because "success" doesn't have a firm definition.

I would argue that a person that has a happy home life and feels comfortable and sufficiently compensated in their work is a success. There are hundreds of millions such people. This doesn't seem overly complex at all.
I'm actually not saying the future will be negative. Maybe it will be. Maybe it won't. But savvy and smart seems a bit too self-congratulating to those who have managed to negotiate this.

Like Stan Lee said in Spider-Man "with great power comes great responsibility". If anyone who currently has this type of power abuses it, they could really do some damage to others. Uber's CEO is already throwing a lot of red flags.

We shall see what happens.

So my story is I had a thief in occlo and I trained with a guild and we would steal from rich innocent mages. It happened that the Occlo mage shop was so crowded on that little island, it was hard for anybody to avoid us. We had the mages litterely sorrounded by thieves. I grew the character and learned some nice macros. And graduated to dungeons and stealing from lich kings and stealing from players fighting lich kings. My best take was a silver broadsword of vanquishing. The owner, not to happy, found me somehow and tried to fight my blue character in town. I called guards! And stole the rest of his stuff. Good times. I was also an Elder in UO and wow, that's a whole other story.
> If "most people are simply not going to be economically useful" for what reason, besides an appeal to utopianism, is it a good idea to strain the country's resources in chase of an ideal?

Two very practical reasons.

A) People need to buy groceries. What will you do when they're at your door with pitchforks, pissed because you told them to "go eat cake"?

B) For the larger economy to function, there has to be bottom up purchasing pressure at the consumer level. Walmart has to be making lots of money so they can buy cool stuff from startups (some of which eventually turn into large companies buying from startups themselves). If you just give people money to spend, that will drive the economy at the bottom. It's basically like the opposite of trickle-down economics and I think it's much more sustainable.

Also, there's growing awareness that sociopaths aren't good for society, so arguments along the lines of "oh quit whining and suck it up you pussies" are starting to get a lot more pushback.
> Regardless, you can't get a license to open carry in California, as no such license exists

Open carry licenses do exist, and you can get them, from the Sheriff of a County with population under 200,000; see Penal Code section 26150(b)(2).

> and open carry is illegal in California under California Penal Code Section 26350

26350 applies to unloaded firearms, and there are a whole slew of exceptions to it in sections 26361-26391, including, most critically, an exception for anyone permitted to openly carry a loaded firearm on the same circumstances (Section 26362) Which includes, naturally, people with open carry permits as described above. (see Section 26010)

Rather than linking each individual section mentioned above, I'll just link the Table of Contents for Division 5 of Title 4 of Part 6 the Penal Code, which covers all of them.

Perhaps SV has a lot of hero worship but I feel as though comments such as these commit the same folly. They're focused on Andreessen and not the ultimate point being made.

Andreessen's base point is that whether you like it or not, millions of jobs are going to get taken away and millions more jobs are going to open up elsewhere. The question is, how do we get society to be better at adapting to this change?

If you truly are concerned about building a society that benefits everyone, this is the question that should be discussed/answered.
>I would never have to read or hear any more popular misconceptions about Chinese characters—that they’re like little pictures, that they represent ideas directly, that the Chinese word for “crisis” is “danger” plus “opportunity.” That, at least, would be a relief.

But... they are? They're ideograms and there is at least some reasoning to many of them. Things written with a part of "fire" tend to have a relation to..well...fire and heat.

火, 烧 炊. You might see the relation 秋 shares with fire. But don't fall into the trap that it is 100% consistent because you'd be wrong about 約.

And the last statement isn't even (technically) wrong. I'm not sure if the Chinese word is the same [0] but for Japanese it is 危機. With individual readings of "danger" and "opportunity" although a more reasonable 1-to-1 equation would be "danger" and "occasion". A crisis is a dangerous occasion. 機 happens to have several meanings and one of those is "opportunity". It is probably intentionally misleading but not incorrect to say it is danger + occasion.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. For most compound words the individual meanings of the hanzi/kanji are very relevant - maybe not always relevant but more often than not.

[0] Google Translate tells me it is, so my confidence is >0% but not by much.
I wonder if a co-op model where workers who are part of the co-op slowly accrue fractional interest in the firm with a continual dilution as new members join.

Almost like an inflationary pressure on the ownership of the co-op that might allow us to turn away from the gains continually traveling upwards long after the contributions of members have been made and they've moved on to other things.

You could still pay differential salaries if you wanted some hierarchy.

Bold statement, here in EU that's not the case. As long as work experience is one of the first categories it's fine. They need to read that section anyway. Your latest job titles are listed there in plain sight. To be honest, there is a huge scarcity for higher educated software engineers, and even huge for software architects. They will read your resume, they will read it twice if they find as much as a single line of experience in there. This is the era of the "move to digital" and enterprises finding out software engineers are no longer necessary costs for hire. You will get multiple messages per day here in NL for options all over Europe.

Oh, you could bring your message in a different tone you know, would have made your post stronger tuning the attitude down from 11 to 10.

It's completely irrational to exclude "the percentage of people who aren't employed" from the set of possible definitions of "unemployment." Each of the various measures of unemployment captures meaningful information about the economy.

Labor force participation rate lets you look at important trends in the economy. For example, labor force participation went way up when barriers to women entering the work place were removed. Women didn't want to all be stay-at-home moms, but the economy didn't offer them any other opportunities. These days, drastically more of the population is going to post-secondary education, which tends to drive down the labor force participation rate. But that's really a paradoxical phenomenon when you think about it, because at the same time, the costs of such education are skyrocketing. Why do people eat the cost (including the opportunity cost) of going to college? Is it because of the love of learning? No, it's because the economy doesn't offer them alternatives.

Of course you can't count every student or retiree or stay at home mom as unemployed. Many don't want to be working. But it's equally irrational to assume (as the BLS does), that none of them want to be working.
the weak form isn't debunked, but the hypothesis as a whole is debunked to a degree of being common sense, of course psychology, sociology, and anthropology may argue for stronger forms to advance their own theories, but most theories from any discipline that studies this sort of thing would agree that the influence cognition and language have on each other is not one-directional, nor are the influences very direct, and the influence that they do display on each other may be caused by some other phenomenon.

tell the eskimo seeing X different kinds of snow to any linguist and they will roll their eyes, debating whether or not to explain why the example is probably not only incorrect, but fabricated for the umpteenth time.
You're speaking out of your behind.

Your detailed and substantive comment works just as well without this uncivil lead-in.
Hm, I'm not sure I understand how that's answering my question. Neither of those seem to even define what the "memory safety" notion means for D so I can't compare. And, looking into it further, none of the links from https://dlang.org/spec/memory-safe-d.html define (or compare) what D means by "memory safety"/if it differs to the conventional definition.

I guess your original comment was maybe meaning how D enforces (the "normal" definition of) memory safety differs to Rust? In any case, I read over both of those, and, to me, they both seem to essentially be a slightly less general version of Rust's scheme (possibly independently invented), rather than something very different. I'm interested to hear how you think they specifically differ to Rust.

100% yes. Psychology is a thin veneer on top of biology, and evolution is a slow process. Let none of us believe we are so beyond our forbears that their problems, difficulties, and sins are behind us, or that their thoughts and lessons are irrelevant to us.

>The FSF and Leah have mostly refrained from naming names when talking about who got fired

FWIW Leah never explicitly named the employee because they didn't want her to but Leah made some changes to the libreboot website as well as the accusations made on the mailing list that make it very very obvious who the fired employee was. The changes she made to the Libreboot website actually made Google list the fired employees full name as a related search for a very simple query about the drama. It's still up to this day and searching for the employee's name will also list a related search tying her back to this.

Luckily it doesn't directly confirm that she was the fired employee but still, if some potential employer is looking into her on Google it's way too easy to tie her back to this controversy that she never wanted to be a part of.
Well hopefully everyone dislikes them but seriously is there any better alternative? And despite the serious drawbacks the net result in countries I'm familiar with (US, AUS, DE) have been significantly positive.
> Perhaps more to the point, Japan, which uses Chinese characters for nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verb-roots, has a very high literacy rate.

While literacy might be high, there's been a stream of articles over the years in Japanese media noting that literacy in kanji (the component of Japanese based on Chinese characters) in particular has been steadily declining, even among the highly educated; e.g.
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2013/07/03/national/kanji-w...

LDC dev here. All the credit for this goes to Ilya Yaroshenko for the expertly crafted implementation and the LLVM developers for efficient low-level code generation (inlining, register allocation and so on, and in some places auto-vectorization). LDC only needs to make sure not to "mess up" things too much.

D does play a significant role in this achievement, though – D's very powerful yet easy to use features for generics and introspection make it possible to finely tune the code for different parameters (sizes/dimensions/…) while still being easy to understand and modify.

> constant improvement and striving for perfection.

This happens in every culture when pressures are pushed upon it. For decades after WWII, Japanese goods and products were considered inferior and "just good enough", and specialized in cheap things that didn't really need to be high quality. External pressures (exports) forced more precision and rigor on them.

Same thing for China. Right now it manufactures many things for a low price to a low quality. Nobody really cares if a chew toy is to spec. Once things start mattering, like exporting for Apple, the cultural pressures start changing quickly.

Also, striving for perfection occurs in every culture. Look back at old Chinese teachers or masters of particular arts or culture. Simply attributing the way things are in certain areas during certain times to cultures is simplistic and naive. Sure, if the market pressures were there, China could manufacture goods to high tolerances. But there is no large market currently for extremely high quality mass market consumer goods, except for computers and cell phones, which China has locked up nicely.
It is interesting to see the 'official' approach to doxing in relation to the unofficial version (calling them out on places like 4chan). Krebs does a lot of this sort of sleuth work and given the obvious market for people who feel harmed I'm wondering if there is the internet equivalent of a private deteective. People who most closely meet that criteria that I know are generally on retainer to lawyers it seems.
Thanks for the writeup, but we think that any US presence for the company presents unknown liabilities that simply aren't worth it at our size. The risk simply does not outweigh the potential savings of the few percent we lose in exchange fees.

I know other payment processors don't do this either, and I remember the bad old days when you had to have your own merchant account and separate agreements with the card companies, and I wouldn't have expected this flexibility back then.

But, the way Stripe presents itself to its customers is that payments are made in whatever currency of the user, and it all drops in a bucket over at Stripe. You can accept payments before you've setup a bank account with Stripe. After that, and unrelated to whatever currencies users paid in, you can then transfer your Stripe balance to your bank account, in a few select major currencies. It looks like those two activities are completely separate, and one would assume the normal rules for transfers from one bank account to another would apply, i.e. it can be done in any currency regardless of the nationality of the bank accounts. But apparently that's not the case.
