It's actually interesting to think about Amazon's platforms. Most often what they do, is take some part of a startup or small business, a part that is relatively safe[1], over the long term for that business, and often serves as a part of moat, and let people do it on their platform, and leaving that business with a much higher ratio of risky-tasks/stable-tasks.

The end result is that businesses are becoming much more risky(over the long term), more hit-driven, and much more hollow(job and knowledge wise).

And it doesn't seem like something good for the economy.

Very high factor falls. A factor 2 fall can kill you even if you don't hit anything on the way down.
I've fallen into doing something similar. I read the mailing lists regularly try to look over the source for something that gets a proposed patch. Because OpenBSD boils down their software to the essentials and tries to make their APIs impossible to misuse I find it pretty easy reading even though I'm not very experienced with C.
IMO, the ease of manipulating Lisp code comes from that code being internally represented as a tree. But that doesn't mean that the syntactic representation has to be so closely mapped to that underlying tree. Syntactic sugar is good! In fact, it's so good that even Lisp has some - you still write '(1 2), even though your macro will see (quote 1 2).

My point is, essentially, that raw S-exprs, or even S-exprs with the usual Lisp extensions, are too "bitter" - there's not enough syntactic sugar there to have them go down smoothly.

For a very extreme opposite example, consider R. Under the hood, any R program is represented as S-expr style tree (the corresponding data type is "call" - but it's basically just a linked list of arbitrary objects, including other call objects, and its interpretation is exactly like a Lisp S-expr - first item is what we're invoking, the rest are arguments).

Then on top of that they have created a C-style syntax. But that syntax is pure syntactic sugar - there's an exact one-way mapping from it to the actual call tree, and there's a canonical back-mapping as well. And you can skip the syntax and write everything in pure calls if you really wanted to.

Now, I'm not claiming that this is the sweet spot. But I'm pretty sure that S-exprs aren't it, either. It feels like there can be some middle ground, where the original tree structure is still fairly recognizable, but also with enough sugar that common patterns (e.g. variable bindings, function definitions, conditionals etc) are easy to parse visually.

I've stopped being on board with viewing "these people," as Marc Andreessen calls them, as having access to some sort of privileged truth, available only to them and Donald Trump. They watched the same campaign we did. They knew everything terrible there was to know about Donald Trump, every bald-faced lie he told, every admission he made about making unwanted sexual advances, every brutish, bullying thing he did to stiff or cheat people who worked with him out of their hard-earned money. They knew everything and they still voted for him, because it didn't matter to them. They believed Donald Trump would help them, so it didn't matter what awful things he said and did. Leaving aside the fact that this is incredibly stupid and that they were duped (Donald Trump is basically sticking his finger in their eye with literally every single action he takes as President), they were willing to accept such behavior if it meant they could be slightly better off. So at some point it really does come down to a fundamental difference of values, a fundamental disagreement about what constitutes decent behavior, behavior that we want to teach our children. And these differences may very well not be reconcilable.

Last, if it weren't for a last-minute letter from the FBI it is quite possible, likely in fact, that the election would have gone the other way. And if that were the case we wouldn't be talking about how Breitbart was the only place that knew what was going on - we'd be saying the same things about how brazenly, shamelessly untrue most of the things that are published there are. And we would be absolutely 100% correct in saying that, as we are when we say it now, knowing what happened instead.
Worth noting: Mylar balloons are conductive and extremely effective at causing power outages. We've been living with this exact vulnerability for decades.

Undergrounding is very expensive, and does not protect against deliberate attacks on infrastructure. Ultimately, local power line cuts are merely an annoyance and it's not worth the effort to fix it.
Trader Joe's is a masterclass example in branding.

The only reason anyone's surprised or outrage is that the store feels like a small, homey, good natured place full of organic this and that that's lower priced than you'd expect. That might have been true, 40 years ago. For a store that had the same name, but was a different entity entirely.

Trader Joe's now is just a giant marketing and packaging front for 70 billion dollar a year Aldi, a multinational chain. It's a corporation. None of this behavior surprises me at all.

What's people's thoughts on learning languages with basic editors first before switching to IDEs?

Especially with scala/sbt I feel like no mortal is able to contribute to a project unless they use the same version of the same IDE (which then effectively becomes a hard dependency of the entire project).

Should I give in and learn to bundle the editor with the projects?
This feels wrong. Programming is not CAD. Or is it?

True, "within the realm of current (anti-) discrimination law".
I imagine it's a little difficult to compare the two because there is a difference in bargaining power between a regular employee (who is closer to a commodity) and a CEO candidate (for which the applicant pool is much smaller, and company fit very important).

Secondly, a CEO, being the head of the company, could technically be held 'accountable' for hundreds of millions of dollars, and it'd be reasonable for someone to want to shield themselves from such a liability, which might not necessarily arise out of a violation of their own, but rather of the company.
I recall reading something about this in the PostgreSQL mailing list, message written in 2016 but may still be relevant

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20151222124018.bee10b6...

“There's no substance to these claims. Chasing the links around we finally
find this article:
http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/kimberly/guids-as-primary-key...
which makes the reasonable argument that random primary keys can cause
performance robbing fragmentation on clustered indexes.

But Postgres doesn't _have_ clustered indexes, so that article doesn't
apply at all. The other authors appear to have missed this important
point.

One could make the argument that the index itself becomming fragmented
could cause some performance degredation, but I've yet to see any
convincing evidence that index fragmentation produces any measurable
performance issues (my own experiments have been inconclusive).”

Well I would use timestamptz, using user's timezone only to convert for display. Use cases for timestamp are very limited.

Just make sure you include a timezone info in string representations in your SQL queries. For example '2000-01-01T00:00:00Z' where Z stands for UTC. Otherwise that would insert a timestamp into a timestamptz column, in which case postgres uses local timezone setting for conversion, implicitly; this is not what you want.

See http://phili.pe/posts/timestamps-and-time-zones-in-postgresq...

Also you should use an equivalent type in you app, i.e. python datetime with tzinfo or JS Date. And beware of UTC offsets: they can't handle DST. Python pytz and JS moment-timezone provide DST-aware timezone info (which is built-in in postgres).

Edit: if you can rely on your users system time for display that's even better because you wouldn't have to explicitly deal with those DST-aware timezone info.
I disagree. First is the immense capital investment these companies have in physical servers and data centers. They have economies of scale in delivering content over the internet. Second is mindshare and data lock-in. Users log onto Facebook because other users are there. There are no examples at that scale of user divestment from a platform (in lieu of a major technological or social blunder, ala MySpace or Friendster). Just being 'better' than Facebook means diddly squat. I think it is still theoretically possible to be a 'better' search engine than Google, but they have plenty of other moats and momentum to stave that off. Don't kid yourself, these are certainly monopolies .
Being fired for an honest error made in good faith is a misclassification of such a problem. If a single current, acting employee causes an outage by way of human error, then process and planning are to blame for the destruction.

If there isn't a police report, and charges aren't pressed against a malicious individual, then the company may be at fault.

Certainly the employee could willingly and pro-actively step down, out of personal guilt and feelings of shame, but then, one need not qualify with "ex" as simply "employee" will suffice. A criminal incident is worthy of such a clarification, indicating that the incident is a deliberate attack, but human error is not.

Massive blank facades, of the sort that this study condemns, can't occur in a diverse, mixed-use urban landscape; so I think this study has gotten to the right answer.

Still, I see your point: are they getting to the right answer in the right way? I like the idea of breaking up blank facades, but I agree with your point that an area can look ugly or frightening to an outsider but fairly pleasant to a local -- and that if this way of doing things grows beyond the blank-facades question, it could become a serious problem.

I'm curious if you do Mobile Safari development, however.

I don't believe it's a short-sighted view. I think it's quite the opposite; my opinion comes from from spending years doing (web) development for it.

Their focus has always been on things that matter little (they were by far the first to implement `backdrop-filter`) while still keeping important things severely broken (as `position: fixed`) and messing with things that should work in a pretty obvious manner anywhere else (like overflow scrolling).

WebAssembly and WebRTC are the opposite of it. "Last year or so", maybe, but it'll take more than one year of good work for me to look at the team at a good light.

The specificity is misleading you.

My guess is that if you look at the giant basket of things a group of terrorists could do in the US with modest funding, this is pretty low down on the list of harms, and solving it would be very low down on the cost/benefit list of harm reduction options.

Power outages happen frequently regardless. We've reduced the frequency to a level where it's not a big deal. If they were a really big problem, we already would have hardened things.
As the sibling comment shows, you can build an artificial lake large enough to be feasible. The Okinawa plant seems to have been decommissioned for lack of need (at its given cost). It was probably a victim of the current oil/gas extraction boom and artificially deflated oil prices. Still, I wonder about their ability to control costs due to corrosion--salt water is horrible for this reason.
In some ways, I consider Go to be a bit of a redo of the early ideas of Java, but with a bit more focus on tooling, and a stronger aim towards simplicity. And Go's standard library authors have the benefit of seeing how Java's early days played out.

I do enjoy that Go gives a bit more obvious control over memory layout than Java did, and I enjoy using it as a small projects language. I've never used it in full anger/production, so I haven't seen the worst of it.

One funny thing about Guice(mentioned elsewhere): I've heard more than one Googler say that dislike the framework quite a bit, due to how heavily it can be abused.

One bit of advice that seems to have gone either missing in Java/JVM, or common knowledge, is the idea that only main/binary packages should have config options via flags/env vars. Many, many JVM libraries do not follow that convention, and I've had to hunt down a log4j XML file for Spark in order to turn down the logging levels before. Would much rather have that be controlled via a flag.
I suppose time will tell :)
I know of a company where the owner oftentimes bounced payroll checks (before common direct deposit) for years. Last I checked that company sells ~400 million dollars of goods at a solid margin and prints money while all of his competitors are going to dust.

I am sure it's an uncommon story but in his case the hustle worked out for him. In short it doesn't look good but sometimes at least it works.
Even if you come across a situation where your primary key has to change, it seems like you could "simply" migrate your initial primary key to the "additional column" concept referred to in the article, and add your new primary key as needed.

I can't imagine that a primary key migration would be easy even if you'd followed the author's suggestions around having an internal key and an external key, and I feel like if you're optimizing for a future primary key migration you might be focusing on the wrong part of your product.
Here in Brazil, we have the CPF (somewhat equivalent to US SSN), a "unique" number assigned by the government for identification. It's used by almost every business I have ever know as a key. Not always primary key, but certainly people treat it as unique.

Except for the fact they are not unique, and there have been cases where people from different states have the same number because each state generated this "random" number, but didn't actually check with each other if it's really unique. It is legally enforced, no two people should ever have the same, but they do.

The only way to have uniqueness is if you know the algorithm AND can control that it behaves as expected. Anything else is just kidding yourself.
They do have a good point. For the airline industry & its norms, any sort of ethical requirements will undoubtedly hamper their ability to hire "industry talent".

That's more likely a projection of how'd you'd behave in that situation that it is a reality.

R has some really crazy metaprogramming facilities. This might sound strange coming from Python, which is already very dynamic - but R adds arbitrary infix operators, code-as-data, and environments (as in, collections of bindings, as used by variables and closures) as first class objects.

On top of that, in R, argument passing in function calls is call-by-name-and-lazy-value - meaning that for every argument, the function can either just treat it as a simple value (same semantics as normal pass-by-value, except evaluation is deferred until the first use), or it can obtain the entire expression used at the point of the call, and try to creatively interpret it.

This all makes it possible to do really impressive things with syntax that are implemented as pure libraries, with no changes to the main language.
Actually, I could see that drawing some people just as it repels others. IT signals that the company is serious about acting responsibly, and putting incentives in place so its management does so. Some people may want to work at a place where they don't have to worry about being pressured into something they thought was wrong, and a signal like this may attract them.
What are you even arguing at this point?
What's the difference between every android phone and an apple aside from the openness of the software?

I'm not even remotely qualified to answer. But anyway, a charge moving down a wire makes a magnetic field. Sending little packets of 0 or 1 means there's a lot of little fields forming and collapsing around the wire. Motherboards are very small, so that field may be big enough to push up against the field of the next wire. That's the bottleneck. electrons in a conductor are crazy fast (i think a big fraction of c). The problem is sending enough of them that you get a meaningful signal, but not so many they interfere with their neighbors.

i'd guess the speed improvements come from much more precise timing and voltages, so you can get better guarantees about interference. if voltage is +/-10%, that field will be bigger, and interfere more. If the timings are +/-10% the field will be there when you don't want it to for the next signal.

Anyway, i'm sure there are much more knowledgeable people who can give you much better insight, but i think that's the physics 101 kinda answer.
But did they ever kick anyone off? They didn't kick off people using hundreds of terabytes or more. And abuse language is there on every ToS. I'd say it truly was unlimited while they were selling it.
VCs are just paying for rides until self-driving cars get to the point that drivers are no longer needed.

I'm not concerned with the price of rides increasing, I'm concerned with the unemployment our country is going to get punched in the face with. Between cab drivers and OTR (truckers), we're going to have a MUCH bigger problem on our hands than we've seen since Detroit collapsed (which was arguably less of an issue since it occurred over a longer period of time).
Still not buying it. I don't feel like journalists are trained to tease out facts, they still tease out stories.

For pretty much any newsworthy event there are lots of facts that are concrete and objective, and frankly, that's what matters most of the time. Life decisions and motivations and biases make for a fun reading, but are otherwise irrelevant.

A politician said something, or did not. A company is going forward with a project, or is not. The proposed law implies a consequence X, or does not. Those are ground facts. I'm not saying they're always easy to establish, but the media sources are not even trying.

I recently stumbled upon an interesting site that tries to run Bayesian analysis on various pieces of information and media reports, to piece out the actual reality. See e.g.: https://www.rootclaim.com/claims/what-caused-the-chemical-ca... What I want to point out there is not their analysis in particular. Just how it's structured. It seems that establishing some objectively verifiable summary of a "messy" real-world story is not impossible.

Maybe if we started hiring "regular" people for CEO, companies could spend the excess compensation on other employees so we can keep the good ones around and stop the nickel & diming that leads to a man getting beaten for riding is his paid-for airplane seat.
