I don't think they had any such "realization" about a superiority of static typing, especially as research indicates that there are tradeoffs between dynamic and static typing, not that there is superiority of one or the other model. Both Bracha and Felleisen tend to fall in the soft [1] or gradual [2] typing camp, after all. See, for example, Bracha's paper on pluggable type systems [3].

As for retrofitting a type system into a dynamically typed language, Dart had gradual typing from the beginning (with types being checked at runtime), so it's an entirely different beast from (say) Ruby or Python.

That's understandable, and it's great that you are able to utilize the expensive products available. As a counter, I am a broke college student that values my privacy, and I make frequent use of LibreOffice. While complete professional market penetration would do wonders to LibreOffice by increasing awareness of more bugs and bring in more developers, it isn't necessary to be very useful to some. The freedom to have the choice between the widely used product and the slightly buggy but free product is very nice to me.
> First of all, human power releases tons of carbon dioxide just like burning fossil fuels does

I was disappointed that for all its calculations, the article completely avoided the question of "How green is human power?" Instead, it just repeated "could become one of the cleanest energy forms available".

But they had to, of course - answering that would have destroyed the entire idea. Fueling humans burns a huge amount of carbon, and neither the food > muscle conversion or the muscle > electricity conversion is even passably efficient.

This was common practice for communist countries, because they couldn't calculate otherwise. Logically, you can't calculate like the market does since the price system (or lack of system) is able to communicate vast amounts of information that socialism just can't. See The Use of Knowledge in Society by Friedrich Hayek. It's in part why he won the Nobel prize in economics. It's a short essay that's free online.

It feels weird using Google now and knowing that I'm just training their AI. Frankly, I don't particularly want that to move any faster than it already is. One less user won't make that much difference, no, but I do think that supporting Firefox makes a great antithesis to Google's forces.

It's also font-specific. Is т a homoglyph of T or m, for example? There isn't really a good way to solve this because restricting systems to only use ASCII (which also has homoglyphs, e.g. 0/O, 1/l, I/l, ...) is very user-unfriendly.

>He ends up (spoilers alert) coaching football.

That is actually really sad.

Motor sport used to be very deadly half a century ago, and it took hard work from drivers to change that. Drivers that were often ridiculed for talking about the need for safety. Now professional motor sport is surprisingly safe, just take Scott Dixons crash at Indy 500 yesterday from which he escaped unscathed.

Football players have to demand their safety is taken seriously before any positive change is going to happen to the sport.
I think the fatal flaw in the argument here is that the hunted animals are seen as a magic free resource; in reality of course they're a limited resource taking up valuable land, and we could never sustain 7bn people or anything like it in this way.
My goal with this way of eating isn't just to reduce calories, but it's to create the an environment that feeds a healthy collection of microbes. Basically this:

"a future step for researchers could be to identify probiotics or diets that encourage the right kinds of microbes to grow to promote weight loss."[1]

I don't look at myself as a single organism, but more as a farm that needs proper gardening. See this[2], and this[3]. Here[4] is an example of one beneficial organism that you can find in fermented foods. I think that humans are generally doing things the wrong way -- we shouldn't simply kill bacteria and other microbes, but we should create environments that cultivate a good balance of beneficial ones. Another interesting place to look is the hygiene hypothesis.[5]

Eating healthily after a lifetime of not eating well takes a lot of effort, but so does not smoking cigarettes (if one is addicted).

> Australia. Operating with few restrictions, Australian banks were large, widely branched, and competitive, and they practiced mutual par acceptance, making the system resemble Scotland’s. The Australian episode is of special interest for suffering the worst financial crisis known under a free-banking system. After a decade-long real estate boom came to an end in 1891, some building societies and land banks failed, after which 13 of 26 trading banks suspended payments in early 1893. George Selgin (1992a) finds that the banks’ reserve ratios do not indicate any overexpansion of bank liabilities during the boom, though some banks clearly made bad loans. The boom was rather financed by British capital inflows, which suddenly stopped after the Baring crisis of 1890. Kevin Dowd (1992) adds that the banks were not undercapitalized. He argues that “misguided government intervention” in the first failed institutions “needlessly undermined public confidence” in other banks, while other interventions boosted the number of suspensions (all but one of the suspended banks soon reopened) by providing favorable reorganization terms for banks in suspension. (For a different view, see Turner and Hickson (2002).

I don't understand your second paragraph. You can have free banking in a gold standard or in a fiat regime. The historic free banking episodes regularly cited were in a gold standard setting. (But perhaps the confusion comes from 'Internet-Austrians' common insistence on 100% reserve banking as a mandatory feature of what they'd call a gold standard?)

(Bitcoin in its current parameters is more or less trying to imitate a gold standard.)

> But overcoming the size of deficit I've got isn't pleasant either. I actually feel worse much of the time.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this. On a stable, moderate sleep deficit (often 6 hours, like you), I feel ok. I'm used to it, I'm not exhausted, it's alright. I pay in attentiveness and memory, but it's bearable.

As I start to dig out, I feel like shit. I don't know if it's the changing schedule or some 'expectation' from my body of actually good sleep, but I feel groggy, distractable, and generally useless. It takes many days of consistent recovery (often ~9 hours) to shake that off, and only a few days of error to fall back into the routine.
I would guess that we see this because the folks with their hands on the levers aren't measuring failure: their metrics are all targeted at success (app conversions). So anything they do is calibrated to move that needle without awareness of (or caring) how many users they're losing.

... Or at least, that's the best explanation I can come up with for why some companies seem so deadset on shooting themselves in the foot.

> Sadly, the standard reaction upon learning how much this profession actually pays if you ask is to call whoever filled you in a liar.

I suspect those people get frustrated because what you're describing isn't something they experience in the real world. I know it kind of ticks me off when somebody says 'just ask for more money!' when I know damned well there's a lot more to it than that. Experiences vary greatly depending on the industry you're working for and the skills you have available to you.

> you can get to the important next step where you actually go out and ask for that rate for your next gig.

I did that once, based on reading what you and patio11 wrote. Long story short, not all companies can afford the rate you're describing and I'd rather take $50/h and pay the bills than hold out for the mythical client willing to pay more than $200/hr.
Bitcoin correction sees nearly $4B wiped off value of the cryptocurrency
In addition to obvious -1 check, one should never exit() nor return from main() if fork() returned zero. Sorry that I didn't care to note that, but one doesn't explain all fork() subtleties in a single sentence. If interested, refer to APUE or similar book.

> And then it always seemed to me, also, that some kind of strategic partial centralisation could help make cryptocurrencies much more efficient..

Yes, and you could implement that specialisation on top of bitcoin. Just imagine eg one of the bitcoin exchanges that hold your balance for you allowing you to send money to other account holders (even at other exchanges) without that ever hitting the blockchain.

The control to keep that kind of company honest is that people will occasionally demand their balances be paid out in bitcoin.

50 Dev tool tips and tricks: Become an expert front end developer
Editorial: A disappearing computer so big it's invisible
Most JavaScript implementations have a bunch of different string types used internally, depending on what you're doing with the string. In-memory representation has no bearing on the API visible to the outside world.

And while the JavaScript APIs only allow you to deal with UCS-2, the string contents themselves are, in fact, usually UTF-16.
The point would be that the trust wouldn't be forced: people would be free to cash out into bitcoin at any time.

> Or, modern technology should allow to test a car all the time and report emissions and fuel efficiency, etc. during its lifetime.

This can become a privacy issue though. Suddenly, you're able to associate licenses with a set of persons with some probability. And you're able to collect side channel information about the vehicle being in motion, and the speed of the vehicle. And who knows what more you can read from the sensors of a modern vehicle. I know of a couple of vehicles with GPS sensors.

Overall, this discussion is very interesting to read, because this is the discussion about unit testing to a dot. We are unit-testing cars with a mock road - and unit testing fails with malicious and/or stupid workers building the unit. Every set of unit tests can be satisfied by a lookup table - this is happening right now in cars.

So now, the question is: Which of the bigger system control tools do we use. integration tests, so, taking cars on a race track? Property based tests - randomize the length of the test, define ranges of acceptable pollution. Live system monitoring? Maybe a pipeline of tests?

The theory behind Kopi Luwak was that the civets knew which (coffee) berries were perfectly ripe, so ate them; in the process, pooping out the seeds (coffee beans).

Once humans found this out, now civets are kept in cavity and fed just coffee berries (i.e., they have no choice, just eat whatever is put in from of them). Natually, the beans that come out will be no different than average coffee beans. Yes, there's this whole "civet digestive enzymes" part, but that plays a negligible role IMHO.

No one has mentioned the movie, Concussion, with Will Smith, who portray Dr. Bennet Omalu. According to wikipedia, he "was the first to discover and publish findings of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in American football players."

Personal needs vary, but also know that you can stabilize on chronic low sleep and not even know it. I did a few years getting ~6 hours most days, and felt ok. I eventually ended up getting 8-9 for quite a while (months), recovered, and now quite literally feel better than I knew I could.

A simple, funny example: I always thought I was prone to getting songs stuck in my head. It turns out I'm not unless I'm sleep deprived, but that was such a constant state that I never knew there was an alternative.

In the UK, there is plenty of computer systems that refuse to acknowledge that people or places can have non-ascii chars in their name, and ask you to correct them.. or even refuse to work possibly because they are comparing broken different encodings of them.

I ended up on a frontend project recently and I am doing my best to get out of it. Its a nightmare.

Imagine a scripting language that you have to compile into another scripting language. Lessons from decades of shared experience completely ignored, terrible IDE support, framework descriptions that are more snakeoil than technical documentation, the worst dependency hell there is with minor updates breaking APIs, and an unhealthy worship of Google and Facebook.

No offence intended to Javascript programmers -- I just don't like frontend development.

The ideas behind SIV are pretty straightforward, and I don't suspect many in the field think it's not an obvious idea.

The hard work is in finding a way to build a mode that minimizes the downsides as much as possible (so it can be used widely) and in proving that the construct doesn't violate any expectations or guarantees of the mode it's replacing.

A lot of cryptography required a stroke of brilliance to come up with an idea and see it through. AES-GCM-SIV just required putting in the hard, tedious work (this is very much not meant to undersell the effort involved, just to emphasize that the hard part here was labor, not ideas).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_correlations_of_cr... doesn't seem to answer directly, but does talk about some genetic and environmental causes for violent crime.

It seems likely that there are some factors contributing to the US's higher murder rate that would also be expected to spill over into the violent crime rate. I'd like to dig into whether the US has higher non-violent crime rates than other countries as well, but can't find any good summaries right now.

So I think I'd expect to see a lot more violent crime if you increased the murder rate by 6.5x, and that might get you close to 6.5x the prison population depending on the breakdown of the difference in crime rates. But having said that, it seems likely that there are a few factors contributing to the incarceration rate, not just the higher base rate of violent crime.
