It seems the shallowness of starting on the footing of what someone looks like alone kind of renders this point moot. If you're trying to identify compatibility based on who a person really is, their profile photo may be the least ideal place to start. If anything, I think this at least gets the user a foot in the door more often.

2to3 was _conceived_ of as migration tool, as if evolutionary lineages just all stopped, changed their genome and restarted. Except it only refactored some easy stuff and let the rest fall on the floor.

Six has had way more impact than 2to3. It was only because core Python said running a single 2/3 codebase was UnPythonic that people didn't embrace it sooner. Running a single codebases across both 2 and 3 is now the defacto technique.

Writing in 3 and "compiling down" to 2 gets people writing 3 which is the point, even if they can't run CPython3.
Wouldn't all of this be provided by the Plan9 paradigm?
I like that quote, but I disagree with it. I don't think "love of money as a possession" is a good thing, but I think it's pretty rare compared to the "love of money as a means to the enjoyments and realities of life."

One of the most life-changing experiences I've ever had was swimming in a bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico. I've never seen so many stars overhead in contrast to absolute darkness (you have to be in remote darkness to enjoy the bioluminescence). The sky was absolutely clear and every sensory detail felt enhanced and euphoric.

That vacation was a relatively expensive week for me. It didn't have to be as expensive as it was, but it couldn't have been significantly cheaper either. With $100M, I could fly down to Puerto Rico and do that every weekend, weather permitting.

But here's the thing - I'm sure that experience can be had (in principle, not exact detail) in every country in the world. With $20,000, you can carefully plan a backpacking trip through Europe. With $100M, you can have virtually any experience in Europe with instant gratification. Have you ever looked at Myspace Tom's Instagram? All the man does is travel around the world to interesting places taking photos. He doesn't necessarily do things people can't do with significantly less wealth, but he 1) doesn't have to choose which things to do and 2) does them casually, because he is virtually immune to financial catastrophe.

Money is freedom, because you can (in limited effect) trade it for time. I think most people love money because they love the time it can buy them, not because it is an end in of itself.
That actually looks pretty nice. Thanks for the link!
I'm at Google too, and for what it's worth, I haven't seen that mindset at all. It sounds like you were on a team with some shitty people or something.

I read this: The only thing the fat cats change is what proportion of the money goes to which people.

Though this is a basic neoclassical assumption, it is definitely not true for any of the markets that have seen the most extreme price inflation. "The fat cats" have limited supply in those markets, not by the old-fashioned oligopolist technique of buying all available land, but by the more modern and more corrupt technique of dictating their favored regulations to the local politicians and regulators whose elections and appointments they have bankrolled.
There may be criminal charges brought though, and Levandowski himself seems to believe there is significant-enough risk of that to assert his fifth amendment right at a recent hearing.

> There is a opinion I hit on every now and then—of programming, especially web development, getting ridiculously easier compared to the past.

Programming change. As an old timer I of course think it has been for the worst but I would not call it easier today. Consider that in most programming language, two decades ago, getting a context to render pixels directly was pretty straightforward.

I was taught programming on BASIC. To draw a line in BASIC you just need a two lines program:

SCREEN 9 (initialise a graphic screen)

LINE (10,10)-(100,200)

Even Processing isn't that straightforward nowadays.

Of course, web programming will be cross-platform. Of course if done properly your per-pixel rendering will be displayed on a GPU-accelerated surface. Of course, you can share it easily on a web page.

Things were different. Not easier, not harder.

When I first learned assembly, I was surprised at how simple it is. It is probably the easiest language out there. It is very simple, but very tedious to use. The only thing is, to use it you can't avoid knowing a bit more about the hardware it runs on.

Nowadays, especially in web programming, a lot of the lower layers are abstracted. It brings a whole can of new problems while removing others. You won't have to worry (much) about memory management and socket pools but then you have interactions between your React update and your version of whatever is used for matrix computation in JS nowadays.
I've got a similar problem with my own face. Scammers take public information from bar associations (I'm a lawyer) and build fake profiles using photos from firm websites. As I don't have any facebook account myself, finding and reporting these is a real difficulty. Most large law firms have someone dedicated to protecting the firm's name on social media but small firms just don't have the time.

FYI, don't believe anything said by a "lawyer" on facebook. We don't ever start communications that way. Visit the local bar association's website and check the lawyer's real contact info before saying anything.

This seems like a strange complaint to me, because it's one of the best things about iterating with docker. Make a change, do a build (super quick because of fs layers) then run it. If it works, ship it!

Not only that, but now I can do the same thing in Windows. It's a wonderful time to develop linux applications.

I think you sell libertarianism short by quite a bit. After all, it is the closest description of the mechanism by which humanity operated quite successfully up until oligarchs and rent-seekers captured government and subverted the individual. I haven't experienced actual libertarian governance or free markets in my lifetime and probably never will. It's funny, everyone tries to keep installing some form of Marxism and that never goes over well and they avoid any other solutions. I don't want people all living in shanties like in Rio and Sao Paulo, but human greed knows no bounds and has not inherent ethics and no matter what system we put in place, the same outcomes seem to take place.
Also agree. Plus, if you sign up for the ACM Digital Library, you get online access to a tremendous library of papers, publications, conference proceedings, etc.

It's very hard for servers to evade edge sniffing, because it's trivial to modulate traffic with them. For an adversary with access to lots of intercepts, anyway. Users can protect themselves by using public WiFi hotspots or burner cell modems. But that's not workable for servers, unless you host them yourself, which is too iffy for me.

But yes, DPR could have stayed anonymous, even if his onion server had been pwned.

A terabyte per second, am I reading that right? It sounds... Insane?
Well, I was talking about real time object detection on 640x480 video. Perhaps most users would be okay with a 5 second or so delay when processing an image and perhaps you could use Facebook's trick of fast, bad quality style transfer and better quality style transfer once the image is in the servers. But the point is that the current paradigm is very restrictive in terms of deep learning applications.

I believe that's a deliberate attempt to illogically equate what Levandowski is being accused of, which is duplicitous, pre-meditated behavior to milk Google out of 100+ million dollars, then take Google's technology to a competitor for another multi-hundred million payout, with something like unintentional patent infringement.

I absolutely believe that if Levandowski is guilty of what he is being accused of that he deserves jail time.

The fact remains that you're objecting to Newspeak in one case, but not another. That looks to me like a pretty perfect example of what you're decrying: lack of political principle.

I just had a play with this. I must say, my favourite feature so far is the chord suggestion wheel (dunno if this interface has a name). A lot of the time I feel like when experimenting with chord progressions or in the beginning stages of writing a song I miss out on interesting chord combinations simply because when messing around on the piano I forget to use or try certain chords or variations. It's really nice to have this selection there (although including extended chords would be awesome!)

Also, I noticed you build it with JUCE. I'd be highly interested in a series or even very short writeup about how you made the ui and it's various components with JUCE. I haven't built anything nontrivial with it yet but audio (and as an extension, UI programming) is very interesting to me.

I'm a relative beginner in both Rust and C and I'd like to say that, as much as the learning curve for Rust could be better, even for a beginner, Rust is light years ahead of C, especially if you've used a more modern language. And using a hash table as an example is actually pretty sharp. Someone used to python might not know how much of a pain any type of container is in C. You could reasonably make the case it's easier to use hash tables in assembly -- the C language does you essentially no favors.

Rust is quite amazing, though. Very slick, to the point where I use it and I don't care that much about things running fast or with low memory requirements, I just want something with the syntax and comprehensibility of python/ruby/etc (at least compared to erlang/elixir, which I'd otherwise use -- not having local mutable variables makes things a bit more puzzling for no reason like three times a day) and the sweet tools from haskell, and Rust fits the bill.

people rely on hot code reloading to see live changes, be it a Node.js app or a React UI. The Docker build workflow is way too slow for that. When I work on React apps, I expect the UI to seamlessly reload every time I save a file.

You can accomplish this perfectly well with Docker, of course, though you have to use volumes and so on. Docker for Mac's mounting support has inotify/fsevents on both sides, though the volumes are not fast. (Fast enough for a React app, but enough for a Postgres database.)
