The true job creators are the people who fill whatever is the bottleneck for demanding new jobs.

For industries and products where capacity exists but production is limited by demand, more people buying their products create jobs (and more capitalists won't).

For industries and products did not exist despite people wanting it, R&D who create those products create new jobs, and people wanting such products don't - the jobs won't ever happen unless/until the particular product gets developed.

For industries and products where volume is limited by outside competition, local jobs are created by effective management and capital investments that make production more effective and bring/keep the jobs locally. In any case, the main initiative for change and the possibility for action comes from the factory, and not from the consumers.

Statement "The factories are just arbitrage between demand and raw materials." has truth only for pure commodity industries - and is not at all true for companies like those built by Sam Altman and Elon Musk given as examples above.

Let me get this straight: most of those European countries perceive Europe to be a separate continent because of a mountain range from that of Asia... but the tiny little isthmus between North and South America is not enough to declare them separate? (no offense intended to Panama)

I don't really care to be honest; I learned that there were 7... but if there were going to be only 6, it should be Asia and Europe that are combined, but my guess is there is more than geology dictating that decision. That Wikipedia link also mentions the 5 continent model, which also would seem to be more correct than a Europe being a separate continent.
It is amusing how the "disrupters" go through all the same mistakes as stock exchanges did more than 100 years ago.

But the mistakes are probably not entirely unwelcome for some of the stakeholders ...
Why narrow it down to Clojure? Feels a tad artificial to me.

AFAIK, any Dapp using Ethereum has to make use of their JSON-RPC interface, which is language-agnostic. So it's perfectly fine to build a Clojure application on Ethereum, although there is a wrapper library for the JSON-RPC interface available in Javascript. No idea how many startups, if any, are using Clojure and for what reason.

On the other hand, my repayments of the UK Student loan are so small that I literally don't care. They are also always based on my income, so if I lose my job - no biggie. No one is going to come and chase me about it, there just won't be anything to pay until I get a job and make more than the current threshold.

I don't see how this could be stressful even if I continue paying some small amount into my 50s - from my point of view it's not debt, it's more like paying a water bill each month.

Programming isn't hard to teach or to learn, but it is incredibly frustrating to do both.

I guess you could say it's hard because it is frustrating.
Stop Copying, Design Your Own Agile Product Management Framework Instead
Short version: He didn't fuel Raikkonen's car up enough which forced an early pit stop in the second-to-last lap of the race. However at the end of the race they placed the same as they had planned, and they had for the laps before the pit stop the advantage of having a stress-free race due to being in pole position.

And the lesson he learned from that: Don't stick to the rules too closely, but also try to see if breaking some rules can have positive side effects. Experiment.

Not a fun read. Very badly written as he constantly leaves out the consequences and details of decisions and circumstances, or only mentions them paragraphs later.
Imagination Technologies Formally Puts Itself Up for Sale
Rust's regex library has had support for regex sets for quite some time, and it's based on the same "tricks" that RE2 uses: https://docs.rs/regex/0.2.2/regex/struct.RegexSet.html
Can you elaborate on what exactly do you mean by "right to paid work" in a world where a true market price for the work of many people will be approximately zero?

UBI is a solution for the problem where for a large part of society a honest full day's work is economically worthless, the society has no real need for their labor. If this wouldn't be expected to happen, then we wouldn't have to discuss UBI as much, but that's where we're heading.

I can even imagine a not-so-far future where the value of most work would be negative; i.e. we might involve people in producing some item, but it would be cheaper and more effective if they stayed away and didn't try to help; so all such work would be in essence a glorified crafts hobby with no practical purpose, and it would result in costs instead of payment.
Vala has been out for some time. I haven't used it since 2007 though. Vala would always come up in discussions about C# on GNU/Linux and Stallman in particular wanted no parts of C# or Mono in the operating system.
This is precisely the problem. They are comparing apples to watermelons. You can find a lot more social dysfunction in the U.S. with its huge population and marginalized minorities esp. African Americans, than in an ethnically uniform state like Denmark or Sweden.

Interestingly however, the Scandinavian states, especially Sweden, are transforming rapidly because of enormous immigration. Gone are the clean, safe, stable, civilized societies of the 70s-80s. Now women worry about walking alone at night; their sexual assault rates are through the roof, much worse than most spots in the U.S. I wonder how the "Social Progress Imperative" fit this into their calculations.
>since all modern property ownership is rooted in the use of force and/or fraud, and thus is of course morally invalid.

You're engaging in mass-defamation against anyone who owns anything. You're hiding behind the political process to illegitimately seize people's wealth.

In a just society, you would be taken to court for libeling hundreds of millions of people with private wealth with your baseless demonization of them.
IFTTT’s powerful new initiative connects up with government data streams
While I find the "sane C++" approach pragmatic and practical all things considered, I'm firmly in the "time to use a better language if possible" camp.

The problem with approaches requiring extra discipline is: it's an extra mental burden to bear while programming. Also, you'll always be limited by the fact that you're working in a less pure ecosystem and will likely end up using libraries written in "not very sane C++" anyway.

We seem to have flexible compiler SDKs these days (LLVM etc.), why isn't there a strict "sane C++" or "orthodox C++" subset available as a custom language or compiler option yet?

So I googled "And a Pony" and it looks like one of the first uses of it is from a coding horror page in 2006 where the guy is asking all websites to scale down properly for a phone and then scale up properly for a desktop. He's then ridiculed because asking such a thing from websites would be obviously impossible. (Remember: 2006.) It is now of course expected everywhere.

I just think that's interesting in the context of your use here.

Dyson and beyond: The UK’s best new buildings are utterly gorgeous
There are some inaccuracies in this comment.

Firstly, that link shows PCRE2 and Rust's regex engine are neck-and-neck. And that's including the fact that the benchmark contains a regex that is hard for DFA engines but contains no regexes that are hard for backtrackers. (I lodged this criticism against the author of the benchmark before they published it.)

Secondly, Rust's regex crate is heavily inspired by RE2. They support roughly the same features. So if RE2 is limited, then so is Rust's regex library.

Rust's regex library tends to do a little better than RE2 in a wide variety of common use cases because of aggressive literal optimizations. But if you mask those out, performance will be comparable. (Also, if you benchmarked captures, I bet RE2 would win handedly. Rust's regex library needs some work in that area.)
Is American Childhood Creating an Authoritarian Society?
> If someone says "X touched me inappropriately", and you respond "I believe you" then this response means "I believe your statement" not "I believe your testimony was in good faith".

That's true, but this is literally how 99% of human interaction works out.

My dad might say "Hey, can you help me with something on the house in two weeks?" and I don't even know what day yet, so I'll say "Of course, would love to!"

It's... not a 100% completely honest response, but it's the polite one. Rather than saying "I have no idea because I lack information, please tell me the date and I'll get back to you."

In reality, I say sure, I commit, and as more information is acquired we adjust the situation: just as would happen in the original scenario.

White lie or not, it would be inappropriate and needlessly damaging to reply to your colleague in such a way "I have no idea if what you're saying is true, sorry, but I'll look into it."
Dumping waste is not a voluntary interaction. It's a violation of someone else's private property. This has no resemblance to Uber out competing local taxis.

At least learn the basis of free market ideology before criticizing it.
I'd be interested if anyone has any anecdotes that compare from software engineering. Sending a car out with suspension thingamies still attached seems like the equivalent of pushing a build to production with `DEBUG = True`, and I'm not sure much useful can be learned by you in that situation.

Would that imply nothing was exchanged at 10 cents?

I moved my kids out of America. It was the best parenting decision Ive ever made
I understand that naming the US as America can bother some people, specially in countries where it is taught that America is a continent (like here in Brazil and in some places in Europe, from what I've heard), but I can't see how this point brings anything useful to this conversation. Anyway, it is just a naming convention that is taught differently in diferent places, why should it matter?
Thanks for the thorough and open reply.

Do I understand you right in that the plan is to make Elastic APM open source?
This is what I think Apple is hoarding cash for, they'll want to move a shit load back to the US if they can get the tax break for it and then I think we'll see them spend big on automated manufacturing in the US and, to some degree, Europe.

$Cisco high CPU usage with RPKI enabled validation
I found the Go APIs I have worked with far more simple and idiomatic than any Java libraries I have worked with (which is admittedly not a lot).

It is, to a degree a matter of taste, of course, but Go APIs tend to be rather simple, whereas Java libraries seem to often have FileOpenDialogStyleTemplateProcessorFactoryFactory-type interfaces.

The major problem I have with Go currently is lack of function overloading, which means you either have to convert your data around a lot or have many similar functions for different data types that do the same thing (basically), but have different names.

I think the comparison with Python is quite fitting, because both languages encourage a certain way to think about and implementing things. For Python it's called pythonic, in Go it's called idiomatic.
Neither. There are regexes that can be written in the common subset supported by (say) libpcre, RE2 and Hyperscan that will induce exponential backtracking with libpcre but not with the other libraries.

I'm not aware of any difference in terms of sanitisation or security.
It's obviously more nuanced than that, but you'll end up in an argument of semantics pretty quickly. All the SC/Mind scheming is ultimately coming down to what we consider to be morally correct, so it'll be a discussion of whether e.g. letting a person die in order to serve a greater good constitutes abuse of power or not. The theme of the Culture series is what we would want to do if we could do anything we wanted, and there's not a clear-cut response to that. The egocentric part of the equation is reduced a lot.
The whole point of headless, from what I can tell, is that you don't _have_ to!

> Families with this kind of mindset are unlikely to stay poor for more than 1-2 generations. (This is probably one reason why hundreds of millions in China arose from poverty to middle-class in a single generation, although I do not see many economists in the West discussing it in the context of China's rise.)

What? China's economic boom has little to do with their view on education. They "simply" moved from farmers in extreme poverty to 6 day/12h shifts factory workers in poverty. I don't dispute it's relatively better for everyone, but it's hardly something to aspire to (particularly since other countries made the transition ages ago, so it's not even replicable unless we're talking about a really poor country that now has to compete with China too).

The BBC article has a much more negative spin about this than you portray. It even suggests it can be detrimental to the country.

The real reason some cultures obsess about education is because there are severe and very real penalties if you fail some exam in middle school.

Finally, this is direct contradiction with your parent comment. Are poor people poor because they don't invest in the future or are they more likely to? Because if all you're saying is that poor people who invest long-term will not stay poor, that's almost a tautology.
"You think the tech leads ..."

Yes.

"schadenfreude"

No. It's just a pattern we can see over and over again. I've worked for some companies that showed that pattern and consulted some which sat in that trap. And it looks like focusing on tech excellence - and I assume they are excellent - didn't help Etsy with growing their revenue.

Is Etsy a tech company? Or are they a retail-oriented market place? Did they focus too much on technical/product excellence? Many companies I have seen have a wrong selfimage. Did they solve the wrong problems? These are the questions I'm interested in.

That's how it goes for many things hand-made. My mother was a spinner and hand-weaver, barely getting by selling to some very, very wealthy people.

Another example is that I build 1:10 scale truck bodies for radio control cars. One takes anything from 2 to 12 months, depending on the amount of detail I'm willing to put into engines, opening doors/hood/trunk, backlit dashboard, and so on. I'm often asked to sell them, or to take commissions. I always refuse, as one (basic) body, counting time and materials, should go for at least $10k to be even marginally profitable.

I've given some away, which is a lot more rewarding than selling one for $500.

> why isn't there a strict "sane C++" or "orthodox C++" subset available as a custom language or compiler option yet?

Probably because sanity is (1) subjective, (2) in this case doesn't really come from disabling features (restricting language). He is still using most of the C++ features (overloads, operator overloading, templates) but only in semantic context that is obvious for them (i.e. templates for collections, overloaded operators for vectors and matrices). Therefore it might be a little bit hard to create a compiler front end that would understand which class acts as a collection or whether given structure is implementation of well known mathematical concept.

No sensible reader of the original SO article thought that correlation implied causation in this case. Using spaces for indentation is obviously a symptom of a better developer. That's all.
This article opens with: "What really would compel someone to actually develop a complete IoT-based home automation system?" Anyone who owns a home knows that optimizing it (maintaining security, structure, cleanliness, function) is an extraordinarily time-consuming endeavor. In my experience, optimizing a home is a highly-underserved job-to-be-done.
If you don't learn something from pushing a debug build to production, your debug build isn't instrumented enough. Maybe all you learn is what the effect of building with/without optimisation is on the real workload.

There's practically an entire genre of "here's what I learned from my expensive mistake" stories. Usually they teach humility and caution. This one is interesting because it's a variant of YAGNI. Imagine that you've carefully tuned your (software/car) for a specific set of parameters, then throw one out of whack by mistake - does this get caught by monitoring? Do you even notice? If you hillclimb from the new status to an optimal one, do you get back to the same local optimum?

Then of course there's the famous RISKS digest, which can be funny or depressing depending on your mood and dependence on complex systems.

Dutch Speed-Trader Turns to Currencies After Conquering ETFs
Populism in Europe is just getting started. The far right party in the Netherlands gained 8 seats in parliament (to 20) while the leading party lost 7 seats (to 33). It's already had the effect of pushing the mainstream parties to the right even in the face of recent election losses. Both Denmark and Sweden have enacted immigration restrictions in the last year. Perhaps the biggest change is that any chance of a Turkey joining the EU is dead. That seemed like a real possibility 5-8 years ago.
