Being up to speed with LaTeX can get you hired, but you've always gotta be prepared for the excited, "You know LaTeX! Let's do all of our documentation in it!" and the gentle conversation that ensues about how expensive free software can get once you involve people and processes...not that LaTeX isn't great; I use it myself for print-ready PDFs, but for corporate manuals and stuff and getting tech writers off the street who can hit the ground running with it, it's just not the right solution for most organizations.

"Many optimisations that can really help high level managed languages like Kotlin simply don’t apply to C++": Which optimisations?

"Larger code bloats downloads and uses more RAM, lowering cache utilisation". This depends on your definition of cache utilisation: The code gets compiled, regardless of whether it's AOT or JITed, therefore the cache gets used anyway?

Looking at the specs, none of the Z2 configurations have ECC memory.

That's extremely disappointing for a "workstation". :(
I guess I shouldn't have expected everyone to already know this, or to just take my word for it. [Edit] HN mod DanG has explicitly stated that mods "routinely downweight" meta-HN posts, which I chose to phrase as "they are usually flagged by the moderators".

When HN itself is involved it's a little bit different, because the hypnotic power of all things meta causes HN upvoters to go into an upvoting trance.

Random sample of 400,000 Twitter accounts, with metadata
Exactly what I thought you were saying, and disagree with.

I consider it fine to say "Objects require identity",
without identity a fully encapsulated object is nothing more than an anonymous black hole.

When you turn this around to "Only objects require identity", or "identity is not meaningful for data", a hash code is one example of data which could benefit from identity, since you do not want to mix hash codes made by different hash functions. The positive integers 0,1,2... differentiated between the set of nonnegative integers are another simple

to preclude identity from data, is to preclude the ability to differentiate these on anything but the value level.
surely a simplification, but by no means necessary.

> Unreal Engine is written in C++ and has used a core garbage collected game heap since version 3. It powers many of the worlds AAA titles. They can hit 60 frames per second and they are using a very basic GC.

This is actually very false. Yes they use GC but they also drop 2-3 frames at each 30s interval because that's when the GC runs.

Go boot up Gears of War and let a character sit idle with no action, you can set your watch on 30s spans by the obvious frame hiccup. UnrealScript was great for prototyping and empowering designers but I wouldn't hold it up as an example of a high performance runtime.

Well, Java applets did die. What more do you want? The Java sandbox is only used by extremely legacy software at this point, so it doesn't matter if it has holes in it. Actually, the more holes the better, so we can get rid of the last holdouts.

Prestige matters in finance, too. However, a JD's not really comparable to an MBA because (a) getting the post-MBA jobs you mentioned typically require prior, relevant, gold-plated work experience (Switching into these finance sub-fields is VERY hard even for HBS MBAs.) and (b) these jobs don't require an MBA (unlike many jurisdictions that require accredited JDs). JDs typically don't have gold-plated work experience and have to rely on their law school's brand for signalling.

In other words, most HBS folks who choose this high finance route already have the credentials and pedigree for the job without needing an MBA.

For the rest, I recommend googling HBS job reports and re-thinking a few of your assumptions about where/how people create value at firms.

In many countries they don't have free speech among other things and it's harder for them to organize. Twitter and Facebook have been used to help oppressed people across the world organize to help enact change. It's also helped catch criminals and citizens and first responders react quicker to crisis.

I rarely use Facebook because it's a time suck and I closed Twitter, but there are a lot of positives from social media, especially if you consider it globally.

And (most?) new minivans nowadays. And most cars have power windows as well. And most supermarkets have sliding doors as well. And probably most garages in the suburbs have automatic doors. This is actually run of the mill technology.
In 2013 I wrote an article called "Tweets Loud and Quiet" (https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/tweets-loud-and-quiet) based on a surprising realization: the median Twitter account has one follower, and the median active account has 61 followers.

In order to write the article, I compiled metadata from a random sample of roughly 400,000 Twitter accounts. The entire sample is now available in this GitHub repo.

Although it's almost four years old now, I get requests for access to the dataset on an almost weekly basis. It's no longer a contemporary snapshot of Twitter usage patterns, but it supports interesting research on social dynamics.
I browse HN, take a lot of photos and make notes on OneNote. But to be honest I've often been tempted. The camera is probably the thing I'd most miss - I take a lot of photos of my kids and a feature phone camera won't cut the mustard

This is what I love about SQL. You can even define your own types, like "email", at least in PostgreSQL:

create table contacts (
name text not null,
age int check (age >= 0),
email email
);

It already has a few of these special types built in, like for IP and MAC addresses (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype.html).

I believe that is due to the fact of the strength of their xnu kernel than any drivers. I've installed my hackintosh HDD into a regular Mac and it booted just fine. It ignored the chameleon partition and booted the HDD as if it came from any other Mac.

BTW, this isn't quite assured when copying a Hackintosh to another Hackintosh. Chameleon kernel injections are device specific. Different motherboards require different injectors.
With density (usually) comes more traffic and more requirement for services. That is what the people that are already there want to prevent.

Yeah, sure, big companies pay for support/consulting! But Cassandra and Mongo are FOSS, you don't have to pay for the right to use them.
The variables named 'anything' can represent anything, that's the point. Are you saying we should avoid writing code that's too general?

I understand that not all languages are powerful enough to allow defining functions that can operate on any type. But this doesn't mean that languages with this expressive power should refrain from using it; it means that users of less powerful languages need to learn something new (as I had to).
Fair point, but this doesn't really answer the question. Also, following this tangent, would it be reasonable to attempt to decrease the transaction costs to drive up inventory (carrot vs stick)?

Some discussion of the efficiency cost of our current favorite higher level languages would be nice. There are things about Python that people love, and I think we should strive to provide that with something more like a 2% performance penalty instead of ~200%+

Languages like Nim are very promising on that front.

This is unrealistic. A 100% import tax on Chinese electronics would result in a 100% import tax on American pork, for example, going into China.

It would take years for Apple to get the supply chain necessary to make their products in America. A better strategy for Apple would just be to wait for a more friendly administration, or use political leverage and lobbying money to get the law repealed.

There is no scenario where tariffs would result in iPhones being built in America.

Security improvements to Linux are great. However a hardened linux kernel is a derived work of the kernel.

It's unethical to take free software, build upon it, redistribute to customers but under contract agreements which prevent them from exercising their freedoms afforded by the license of the kernel.

If you think the linux kernel is crap, you are more than welcome to write your own kernel.

You're just making up scenarios that fit your point of view, without arguing that these correspond to the actual options.

Are you arguing that there cannot be any distinction between determinism and non-determinism?

No I'm not. Show me where I'm saying that.
> Questions: "Many optimisations that can really help high level managed languages like Kotlin simply don’t apply to C++": Which optimisations?

I understood the JVM does an dynamic analysis of the code when running, so it can compile to better performance. For example it knows which branch of an if it is more likely to be executed, so it can compile that code to native in a way the CPU jump prediction executes the branch that will probably executed at the end. (it is hard to explain without more knowledge but CPUs do optimizations in branches and usually executed one branch before even know the result of the condition, so you sometimes save some cycles, with the dynamic analysis you know which branch is more often executed). I guess the author is talking about this type of things
> There is zero reason for an investor to leave a home empty, you still get the benefit of appreciation when you are making rental income.

Maybe the investor doesn't want to deal with having to do maintenance on the property, having to learn the local regulations on letting properties or renter's rights, deal with issues with unruly renters, etc. If there really were no reason for investors to leave homes empty, than why is that precisely what many investors do?
