So more money is always the target?

Yea--that's fine, but with these profit moves shouldn't come so dam easy to those in charge.

The United States provided relatively safe neighborhoods, schools, could leave the house without fear of kidnapping, blah, blah, etc.

Then a company decides to make more money where business can do pretty much whatever they want to the enviorment, pay bribes to officials, hire cheap labor, blah, blah, etc.?

(I'm not sure if you're for, or against this profit seeking behavior, and I'm not directing this towards you. That said, what bothers me is when they make their "nut" here; and get greedy. I wish their was a federal law stating if you move your company overseas, you need to move your BOD, and all executives right along to whatever chit hole you decided to make more profits. Point being--don't use this country as your first wife/husband. So--call me a liberal, I believe in company ethics. Something we are losing. Something we assume Berkshire Hathaway has nailed down. The reason why we all like Warren Buffet? And what if they arn't a moral company? I don't know? I just read good things about Warren. I don't know all the dirt in everyone's closet.)
I think that if you treat strings as just lists[0] of UTF-8 code units, and code points, grapheme clusters, etc. are just views/adapters of those bytes, you're probably going to benefit the most.

[0]: When I say 'lists', I mean whatever the standard idea of a sequence of things is in the language. For C that's the array, or maybe the pointer+length pair. For Go it's a slice. For Rust, an iterator perhaps? For Python, it's a list.

This is a great quote. One thing I want to point out, although it doesn't affect the overall meaning of the quote: When he says "8-bit" he's referring to 8-bit audio, as in audio with 8 bits per sample. Like a CD has 16-bit audio for instance.

That might seem obvious but I've seen several people post that quote assuming he means audio made on 8-bit game consoles, including a Kotaku article[1].

I suggest crawling Goodreads for books and quotes, rather than crowdsourcing: you could instantly have 3 million books and quotes added to the site.

You might argue that this is against the idea of your site (you seem attached to the serendipity idea) but, if you are crowd-sourcing books and quotes, you'll end up getting something very similar to this with a lot more work. Look at the books and quotes you already have -- they are all in the top few percent of Goodreads, and the quotes have already been selected.

The point is not that you don't want to use algorithms; the point is that you want an algorithm that allows for serendipitous exploration.

All very easy to do! Am happy to do myself if you put the site up on github.

I don't see this happening.

local state would invalidate many things in the Elm ecosystem like the time travel debugger, all the tutorials, etc. It's not such an easy problem, you have to write a new reconciler that only renders the things that have changed instead of always rendering the entire tree.

btw, redux only deal with global state but encourages the use of local (setState based) state whenever it makes sense.
Huh; never heart about this! Is there a good walkthrough of this functionality for people who already work with relational databases and just want a compare-and-contrast?

This is a much better point (or perhaps a much better way of stating it) than what I got from your original post.

I agree wholehearted that you don't want to give the end-user mix-and-match primitives. But I don't think that JWT really gives you that, at least at the level I think you're discussing. For example, JWT doesn't let you choose an asymmetric cipher and a hash algorithm; you have to choose a precomposed whole, such as "RS256" (RSA w/ SHA-256) or "HS256" (HMAC w/ SHA-256). To me, this seems equivalent to NaCl, in a sense. In JWT, I must choose one of "RS256", "HS256", etc. In NaCl, I must choose one of the crypto_* functions. Are these not both giving the user equivalent choices between equivalently pre-composed functionality? (Are you simply saying that the JWT standards offer too many choices between essentially equivalent cryptographic combinations, such as multiple choices for HMAC or RSA, and/or that you disagree w/ the exact combinations offered?)

> I've outlined what needs to be changed to make it secure, and said I'll write a formal spec when I have the time

Perhaps it's what you're leaving unsaid, but the gist I get from your proposal is that you're discarding the entirety of JWT's claims section, essentially equating a JWT with an authenticated and potentially encrypted message; i.e., the output of the NaCl functions that you present.
So, I think I agree with you, in general, that people can be better suited to green-field or maintenance, both from a skillset and personality perspective. But I also think good, active maintenance can have a lot of creativity and require, as you say, envisioning what doesn't exist.

If we're just talking about bug fixes and level-2 support or something, sure, that's mostly about attention to detail, etc. However, maintenance is much more than that, in my experience.

Maintenance involves keeping a system up to date and functioning in the face of changing business requirements. So, you have a new customer come onto the system or a department wants to change a business process, and now you need to change the system. What was once a single implementation of some feature now makes more sense as an abstraction with extensibility points. Or maybe just the system has more data than anticipated, and a good developer might realize that instead of putting a bandaid on the Postgres search, it's better to integrate a dedicated search solution like Elastic.

The point is that software is never done, as long as it's being used. Drawing a line between development and maintenance is often just an arbitrary distinction.

The drug industry has a habit of coming out with a new "class" of drugs as soon as the patents for their old drugs expire. Or they patent a new combination for old over-the-counter chemicals. My father recently got prescribed something with a retail price of >$1000. He said he could buy the two OTC pills for about $15... this was something for his stomach + an nsaid, iirc.
You can certainly have flat spending per pupil independent of location. Which means that many inner city school districts get less money than they do today and many affluent suburbs get more.
> Wheeler did not take a neutral stance.

I didn't mean to say he did. The president is the only one who can wait and see what the public thinks before speaking. Everyone else has to act in order to test the waters for the President.

> Wheeler's first proposed replacement was weaker. In particular, it would have allowed paid "fast lanes".

Yeah, that's not net neutrality at all. Title II classification was good and overall Wheeler kept the internet open. But, fast lanes don't have any place in a neutral internet.

Sort of. But fundamentally, if there is a quantum phenomenon that our brains are harnessing, then so too can a quantum computer. So I don't see how he can draw such a distinction, even in theory.
It seems that most people have those thoughts when they play around with Macaroons :) Check out the google group for some discussions: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/macaroons

If it wouldn't doom them to obscurity, I'd personally like to see a set of vocabularies that macaroon users can use (a la semantic web). This is probably as simple as namespacing caveats with globally unique identifiers to indicate the vocabulary.
Generally speaking, I really like OSX/macOS. I am starting to grow a disdain towards Windows, with it's insistence on changing the default browser to IE + Bing on every update.

Linux is great, but it just doesn't do it superficially for me. I can make it look great for screenshots, but as soon as I click a button or engage with the DE, the facade falls apart.

macOS/OSX seems to be like a Linux distro with a very well developed desktop manager.

The only problem is, I need to buy a Mac. Who the hell can afford that, holy sh*it

1. Demand is only one factor in the price of housing. Supply is another. Eliminate all density/height/parking restrictions and enforce quality, and only quality regulations and the increase won't be that severe.

2. Don't cap property taxes. Instead use property tax revenues to build cool stuff for the city, among them very wide-ranging, very fast public transit so people can live in suburbs without shitty commutes.

3. Tax unoccupied housing heavily.
Uber's driverless car strategy is incredibly implausible. You have to believe all of the following:

1. Uber will be first to market with driverless car technology. That is, it will beat Waymo, all the actual car companies, Apple, Tesla, and 100 other startups.

2. Given 1, Uber's driverless car technology is a durable technological advantage (ie, even if it's first to market, that doesn't matter much if Waymo follows it to market 3 months later). Note that we are at this point stipulating that this technological challenge is doable with a team that you spun up out of nothing a couple of years ago, as not-the-best-resourced team on the block.

3. Given 2, the legal issues with driverless cars are resolved well enough that Uber has a viable business.

4. Given 3, Uber can successfully raise money for an incredible capital expenditure (how many cars are we talking here? 1,000,000, very conservatively? At $20,000 ea, very conservatively? So $20B investment), and then handle that kind of capital investment.

5. Given 4, build up all the supporting infrastructure for this business (parking, local cleaning, etc.)

6. Given 5, this all happens within Uber's operational runway (like, starts within 3-5 years, finishes within 10 or so)?

Personally, I'd put the odds of this at: 10% for 1 * 10% for 2 * 90% for 3 * 80% for 4 * 70% for 5 * 20% for 6 = roughly 0.1%.

But even if you're way more bullish on Uber than I am, can anyone really argue for more than 50% for 1 * 50% for 2 * 90% for 3 * 95% for 4 * 95% for 5 * 80% for 6? That's still only 16%.

How to become better at reading and debugging code – Rookie's Lab
Fair point. I will extend my offer even up to a thousand years.
Thanks for the link to Kiparsky's paper on mAheshvarasutraNi. Starting from the system of grouping and ordering, sandhi rules became straightforward to understand. When I first learned the sutras in school, we were presented with a lot of hand-waving and circular reasoning (sandhi rules- sutra grouping - sandhi rules) about why they were ordered in that seemingly arbitrary manner. It is cool that Kiparsky has solved the inverse problem of figuring out Panini's generative system for the grouping and ordering of syllables!
Certainly it does, but what would you suggest JWT do differently? One can't realistically hard-code the algorithm(s) in use: that would prevent any ability down the road to upgrade to a better set.
A nail as in its own rack to hang on. Because they value that broom and its mission enough to go through the trouble of creating a rack for it, you could imagine that they put some higher value in that mission (maintenance) and its role in accomplishing it.

The new nationalist/globalist split emerging/subsuming the fading conservative/liberal split is shattering this trope.

I don't see any particularly ideological reason conservatives (high conscientiousness, border and rules oriented) shouldn't be in favor of plenty of government. And good and hard, at that.

I have said before we are entering the era of post-modern politics, where values will invert (e.g. free speech) and maintaining coherent narratives will be increasingly difficult. Unfortunately, I think this means people will cling to whatever stable identity they can ever more tenaciously.

You can't just say it's been that way for a long time so it's acceptable, because the industry (and for that matter the Internet) is getting fresh new people every day. You can't expect them not to be surprised, and you can't just arbitrarily require them to know something they haven't stumbled upon until after it caused problems.
All my stuff is Apple hardware. But I went from an extremely happy client to an "okay" client: because of convenience, I don't want to start messing with Android (and having Google monitoring my like a little baby duck) and going back to Windows (hey some dissapointing "the grass looks greener on the other side"-stories) or Linux, where still, if your eye wants something, there's so many quite horrible inconsistent ugly things happening.

So Apple is still the best choice for people like me who don't totally want to break their current workflow, simply because there's no convincing great alternative out there. But the credits, or forgiveness of all this is dwindling fastly. If I would've bought this new MBP for 3500 EUR from my own money, instead of it being a company laptop - rather than my personal one --, I would feel seriously cheated -- and probably would've gone for a Lenovo instead.

Apple, under Jobs, made plenty of mistakes, but in the last years, he was pretty much spot on.

In my eyes, Tim Cook, makes one mistake after the other. And it's not just the Mac Pro, but also the Mac Mini (which is a great computer-format), the audio jacks on the iPhone, the removing of the magsafe, dongle-life, etc. So there's plenty of reasons to say basically: let's bail from this mess. The problem is that the alternatives are not so much obviously better.

GrumpyGamer's posts when compiling Thimbleweed Park for Windows were a pretty good reminder of staying away from Windows. ;)

>Maintenance is something very, very specifically Western.

Yep, no other cultures maintain anything.
The problem is local funding for schooling I think. If funding was state level or federal and funds would be allocated to schools that need it - I.e. schools with poor students (less help from home, perhaps language issues) will be given a lot more funding per student.

Without this, what happens is that affluent people move to good school districts. These districts then get students with better academic backgrounds, fewer parents with drug/legal problems, fewer students with lanugage problems. Its pretty obvious to be a system that spirals out of control in just a few generations, creating segregated patches.

But perhaps this is how the support for the public school system is upheld? Rich people accept the system, because they can game it? If that's the case then it might be a necessary evil. Politically viable alternatives such as voucher systems will create the same effect (I know from experience).

And the official statement from the FCC,

> “Beginning on Sunday night at midnight, our analysis reveals that the FCC was subject to
multiple distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDos). These were deliberate attempts by external actors to bombard the FCC’s comment system with a high amount of traffic to our commercial cloud host. These actors were not attempting to file comments themselves; rather they made it difficult for legitimate commenters to access and file with the FCC. While the comment system remained up and running the entire time, these DDoS events tied up the servers and prevented them from responding to people attempting to submit comments. We have worked with our commercial partners to address this situation and will continue to monitor developments going forward.” [1]

Given that the FCC thinks "bulk commenting" via a spreadsheet is a proper solution to their website difficulties, I don't really believe in their ability to diagnose an issue as a DDoS. More likely, lots of people were trying to comment but couldn't.

I've always thought that a "killer app" for a REPL or "notebook" software, would be a presentation layer that receives structured data, and then runs a whole suite of visualizations on it in parallel, and then chooses whichever display format—itself still structured data in e.g. SVG—is the smallest. In other words, the one that ends up compressing the data the best, in the process (presumably) finding the clearest signal.
