Sure, but in my experience people who are speeding at 10-20 mph on 35-mph-limited mixed-user surface streets are doing both. That's true as well on rural highways with hidden curves and possibly animals or tractors, or complex urban interstates with lots of traffic merging. These account for a majority of the driving people do. The case of a rural interstate with few interchanges is what people mostly think of with speed limits, but many of these have already been raised to a limit of 70–80 mph.

People are bad at assessing risk and bad at awareness of road conditions. And I think learning to disregard posted speed limits corrodes regard for other rules of the road, like stopping at traffic lights.
I wonder what people will say in twenty years about our NodeJS, AWS, microservices and JavaScript systems.

Vehicle stability control is a big one.

In some situations, but in other situations it seems to be a negative (at least as implemented on my car, a '13 Hyundai Genesis Coupe).

I can see that it's helpful for low-traction situations where it's just protecting the driver from losing control.

But on my car it has a really annoying, and I think dangerous, side effect. You'll note that difference in wheel speed from left to right is what triggers the stability control behavior, and that this delta is proportionately greater for tighter-radius turns, the ultimate example of which is a right turn from a stop sign or driveway. And the effect of it is to severely limit the force applied to the wheels (whether by pulling back the throttle or by applying a brake to the affected wheel).

But that right turn, when I'm trying to merge into traffic on a road with a 60mph speed limit, is exactly where I need the power to accelerate. So I see a break in traffic, turn onto the road, a tire slips on a bit of sand, and then I'm stuck wallowing there with no power, watching my mirrors as a car barrels down on me from behind.

I've learned that I get the best results if I make the first thing I do when I get into the car, to turn off the traction control unless the pavement is wet.

It actually increases sensitivity to noise, when i turn it off.
The brain likely adapts to constant noise by boosting the signal and when the noise is gone you will hear everything much louder/sharper. A much better alternative is waterfall/nature sounds on youtube, which don't rape your ears with hi-frequency near-ultrasound(white noise power at higher freqs is huge, and is likely to cause physical damage with long-term listening)

>> Which can only maintained by small group of veterans, that grows thinner every day.

>>There are almost no new COBOL programmers available so as retirees start passing away, then so does the maintenance for software written in the ancient programming language.

This is false because there is in fact tons of COBOL talent around (in the US). The waves of offshoring in the '00s left many thousands of unemployed COBOL developers. I personally know of 100's in the local market. A prominent financial services and BPO firm off shored mainframe development, and laid off many 100's here. Most got out of software development all together. This skills shortage simply doesn't exist.

1st paragraph:

"In this post, I am going to show you how to write Fizzbuzz in the programming language Fractran. If you don’t know, Fractran is an esoteric programming language. That means it is extraordinary difficult to write any program in Fractran. To mitigate this difficultly, instead of writing Fizzbuzz in raw Fractran, what we are going to do is build a language that compiles to Fractran, and then write Fizzbuzz in that language."
Working out is good for you. That's an empirical fact. I don't think it does anyone any favors to pretend that it's not. Obviously if you have injuries you should modify and scale workouts appropriately. But not working out is making a conscious choice to be less healthy. That's fine if that's where your priorities lie, but it's still a conscious choice to be less healthy, not simply a difference of opinion. It's much closer to choosing to smoke cigarettes than it is choosing to use a different text editor.

I would like to study consciousness outside of frameworks where it is unquestionable - just as we can do it in e.g. classical mechanics with speed of light.
A classical analogue to entanglement is not problematic for causally connected processes and in some cases it's a good model, like with human reasoning or neural networks. QM is a generalisation of bayesian reasoning that can handle non-commuting variables.

Yet entanglement is observed non-locally, even backwards in time or between degrees of freedom that never co-exist. Nobody has been able to create a non-local model that doesn't require fine tuning and the idea goes against the spirit of special relativity.

Thus, I would agree with you, there is no "problem" with entanglement. Except non-locality.
Regardless of whether they can be called programmers, we can not deny that they exist.
Nice build, but I'm a little surprised to see it get this much traction at HN. The hackintosh subreddit has builds like these for days.

Mine is a dual boot setup on an i7-6700k on Z170, 64GB RAM, and a very old and well-supported Radeon 5770 GPU. I will admit mine sits mostly in Windows with a number of Linux VMs running for development, which is why I maxed out the RAM.

Previous build was an LGA775 build. More specifically, an LGA771 hack. Again, ancient Gigabyte P35DS3L motherboard, 6GB RAM, and a modified Xeon X5470. It was extremely stable. I may bring it back, but I used the SSDs and PSU in my new build.
I'm not a psychologist but I have observed this kind of syndrome a couple times and I think it's usually more like a performance anxiety. You take the big fish out of the little pond and all the sudden he's a small fish in a big pond and it's a culture shock.

The time lines, the compromises and the urgency are all different at a startup. You are used to being the smartest guy in the room at a mid sized or big place, you go to a small startup that got money because the founders are exceptional and they've staffed up with some exceptional people and they are all running like hell, you might look or feel kind of ordinary and that's a tough pill to swallow. It's especially difficult if you've never felt it before, all the sudden you're "failing" Combine that with a family that thinks the world of you because "you're the best" and I expect it's worse. Or at least that is how I've tried to understand it. There are clearly other issues when it results in suicide though. Again, I'm no doctor, but I try to give them an interview problem they can't solve, I think it's good if they say "I don't know how" or "I can't do that yet"

Another symptom I've observed, when someone is in that space, they often try to do more. Rather than botching one feature, maybe they'll rush and half-ass three or four to try and "make up" for earlier shortcomings. That usually creates a rift with the team that then starts to think less of them, the new guy is a bull in a China shop.

As for management, they share some of it. Uber seems like a broken place in a lot of ways. They should know it takes time to ramp up. Also success begets success, I take things off a new employee's plate when this happens. Make it small enough for them to create a little success and then build on it. In SV there is a large talent pool and a belief that the "right person" is around there somewhere so building long term success might not be as important to some companies.
Small businesses are doing this as well (where I learned COBOL). Having experienced it, I do not feel there's really anything wrong with COBOL itself. The language is verbose and relatively straightforward, however it requires a different approach from what most people are used to.

BASIC is an ill-defined term, but if you mean the most modern versions of BASIC (as I seriously hope you don't mean 8-bit era BASIC), they aren't significantly different from Javascript circa 2005 in terms of quirkiness and silliness (and that's assuming you've got one with some sort of closure support, which I don't recall if one ever existed; without that BASIC is a clear loser behind Javascript-2005), and Javascript is certainly moving to exceed any BASIC I know about lately.

Javascript does have a lot of flaws, but unlike BASIC which is pretty much dead, the main structure of Javascript is alive and well, as dynamic scripting languages are still very much a going concern.

Didi Near Deal to Raise at Least $5B in New Funding
Programming in COBOL is best learned by signing up as a trainee employee in a company that has been using it for a long long time and that employs a bunch of old programmers who will be more than happy to teach you.

It's a quirky language, (omit a single '.' somewhere and you're in a for a world of hurt) has its neat parts and in general will come across as limiting once you have been exposed to other, more expressive languages. But that's probably also the reason it is still around, think of it as JAVA but then conceived in the gray past. The original intent was to make a programming language that would allow managers to program. That didn't quite work out.

I agree, Go in the title is irrelevant. Otherwise, it is a decent overview of the notion of pointer, although there are many of such overviews around.

My other objection is with using code like * b++ in a text that aims to be crystal clear about a single concept (pointers). That can bring totally irrelevant questions on operator precedence and right / left associations. It would be better to say * b = 201. My 2c.

It's not that such an understanding precludes a person from working close to the problem domain, it's just that that knowledge is not necessary most of the time.

In the book, "Mythical Man Month", Fred Brooks talks about the two kinds of complexity in solving problems with computers. There's the "essential complexity" that's there because the problem you are solving is actually complex, and then there's the "accidental complexity" that's not actually required to solve the problem, but to make the computer happy.

Let's compare C arrays and Python/C# Lists. For my pretend problem, I need an ordered, index-able set of things.

With the C array, I need to know how big to make it before I create it. I need to allocate the memory that is used before I use it, and I must deallocate that memory when I'm done with it. I might underflow or overflow the array and allow Eastern European hackers control over my server and data. Even if I checking for overflows and underflows in all the proper places, I also have to add code to every one of those places handle each possible error.

Whereas in C# and Python, I just make a new list and stick things into it. When it goes out of scope, it disappears automatically.

Python and C# move me closer to the actual problem being solved by removing this "Accidental Complexity". When complexity removing is done well, it also removes the requirement for the programmer to know about numbered cells of memory, because numbered cells of memory is "Accidental Complexity" for the problem domain.

Now when I know how the computer is actually working, it does bring benefits. Today, in fact, I'm writing C code for an embedded ARM chip. Knowledge of memory numbers is a little required here. But for most software developers, knowing how memory works is not a requirement for working software. Even memory-as-a-numbered-set-of-cells is still just a huge abstraction from how the memory is actually being handled by the hardware.

The FAA doesn't care about range but is pretty excited about altitude (keeping it low), being away from airports, and being under direct human observation/control or if doing first person video with goggles having some kind of backup.

The FCC is who gets annoyed when long distance folks do the "CB linear" attitude and basically ignore all power regulations to get range.

Most of the civilians doing research and "production" flights currently are more likely to be violating various DEA laws with somewhat more draconian penalties than the FAA or FCC would every enforce anyway. 10 Kg of coke is going to be problematic to talk your way out of.

My experience with traditional RC planes is anything liquid fueled is audible for at least half a mile unless you go to some effort, but electric assist gliders, although huge and highly visible, are nearly inaudible maybe 10 feet away unless you're doing something dumb (running the prop tips supersonic to get more thrust, etc). A glider would also have much better range. Lets just say you should be wearing hearing protection when tuning a 0.40 sized RC airplane engine without a muffler, and probably while a muffler is installed too. Its a lot louder than you'd expect based on experience with yard work equipment (other than a chainsaw... A chainsaw is a pretty good comparison...)

My multicopter sounds like a weedwhacker in operation, and I can easily hear the 5volt beeper go off 30 feet away when the battery voltage drops too low. I donno maybe 50 feet away you wouldn't notice it? This is a 210mm sub 250g build, I'm sure a monster sized aircraft has monster sized noise to match.

I run ECC everywhere possible. I know of two instances when it mattered (detected a failing chip), and suspect it was correcting single-bit errors for a while before that in those cases. I've also resurrected someone's laptop by determining it failed due to bad RAM and replacing that. (Easy enough diagnosis - intermittent, random-seeming hard-lockups and corrupted data on disk.)

ECC also thwarts Rowhammer and similar attacks, if that matters to you.

Note that it isn't enough for AMD to restore ECC support in consumer kit; you also need motherboard support, and the MB makers are also complicit in raising ECC costs.
This is the beauty and the beast of "Free markets". In most cases, you get what free markets boast about - more competition, reduced pricing, better service.

If you were to look at the statistics, these would either be edge cases or outliers when considering the overwhelming evidence that in most cases, free markets are far better than having burdensome government regulations.

It's funny to hear people complain about how bad the free market system is in this case, but are also crying about employment immigration issues and how we can't get MORE H1-B's visa's, and why SV companies can't bring in more highly skilled candidates from other countries.

It cuts both ways. There is a median in there. Heavily regulated or totally free markets never work, we need to find a balance.

I personally (emphasis intentional) consider the core distinction between "references" and "pointers" to be whether you can do pointer arithmetic on the pointers. Pointers without pointer arithmetic aren't hardly scary at all, especially in languages where there is no way to deallocate the underlying value but leave the pointer behind such that it may point to the wrong thing later, be that due to something like Rust or with GC like Go.

So personally, I think of Go as having references, but not pointers (outside of unsafe).

Of course every language community uses those terms its own way, but that seems to me to be the most broadly useful way of looking at it.
I guess it comes down to whether you think you can (immediately) process the "red delta", "blue delta", and "green delta" independently. I wasn't stating my assumption that I thought it would be nontrivial for your brain to identify more than the overall distance between the colors. I do agree there are technically 6 information channels; I just wasn't sure if a human could actually use it expediently.

That said, I think I've come around to the idea that we could see multiple signals. I could probably identify "right-brightness" & "left-brightness" as separate from "right-desaturation" & "left-desaturation". But can I also separate those from "right-CCW-hue-rotation"? Can I pair it with "right-greenness/blueness/redness" in a way that I am gaining a full independent channel of information? Maybe it's like 2.2 channels worth. :P

I guess I shouldn't speculate at all; it's easy to be misled in hypotheses about perception.
