> This complaint generally comes from the opposite direction—that the JS ecosystem provides "too much choice", which can lead to FOMO or analysis paralysis if you let it.

That’s exactly the issue. You have two hundred choices, but all are broken. Every single choice is missing something. You could patch them together, and get something that kinda works...

...or the developers of the two hundred solutions could work together on a handful of solutions, and have a handful of working solutions.

> Gradle, Maven, Buck, Pants, Bazel…

Buck, Pants, and Bazel are basically unused for now, as none of them handle dependencies properly, and they are almost exclusively used in large, corporate codebases with vendored dependencies.

They are as relevant to this discussion as Perforce is to a discussion about version control: Most startups or users will never have to deal with it.

Uh, @dang or other mods, please unflag this article. I certainly found it worth a read, and @resu_nimda explains the "why".
All of that seems to argue pretty strongly in favor of calling it "emotional labor" - caretaking involves a serious trade-off where the caretaker is expending a lot of emotional energy to do work for someone else. Much like physical labor involves expending a lot of physical energy to get stuff done.

I don't see anything either overly demeaning or glamorous about that descriptive term, it seems to describe exactly the value proposition that is on the table with that sort of work.

Harvey worshipped SICP so that makes sense.

I took 61A with Hilfinger (who usually taught 61B) and I didn't crack the book. His lectures and notes were very thorough. I can't remember if there were readings on the syllabus that I skipped but I didn't crack the book. Moreover, I was always big on doing the reading before class. Class was a review.

Later when I did read SICP, I didn't like it. Maybe that was like reading the book after seeing the movie. Dunno, but I didn't like it.

As an aside, there was a whole subculture of students who read nothing but just did the HW and worked past tests and sets. They did amazingly well. I had a study buddy who did that in EE20. I prepped him for the final and he told me he'd beat me; he narrowly did. He graduated with a 3.9+ GPA in EECS which is insane. He hated ideas then and now. But he tested insanely well. It was just pattern matching.

Cosmic ray errors (called soft errors in the industry) are measured in FIT rate, (failures in time) which is measured in failures per billion device hours. Basically, it's very unlikely to hit a desktop computer, somewhat likely to happen higher in the atmosphere/space, and very likely to happen in a system with hundreds or thousands of processors.
Indeed, I've worked with CPUs that didn't have the register split of x86 and they are far less friendly to implementing certain algorithms, which would otherwise require many additional registers and lots of shift/add instructions to achieve the same effect. ("MOV AH, AL" being one simple example -- try doing that on a MIPS, for instance.)

That's interesting, thanks for the information, I'll probably spend a good portion of tomorrow reading up on this. Geoengineering is scary.

Honestly, I am extremely pessimistic about mankind's ability to work on such a scale. Too many people seem to assume global warming is still a far-off problem, and that for some reason humanity is destined to "progress" forever, even though we know of many civilizations that have collapsed before ours.

I'd just like more people to grasp the dire reality of the situation, and stop assuming that somehow technology and/or progress will save us no matter what.
That's assuming an accidental leak. I wonder what the risks of "bad guys" with, say, shoulder fired rockets taking the top of the tanks off look like?
Everything Has Fresnel (2010)
Editas (EDIT), Crispr Therapeautics (CRSP), occasionally Intellia (NTLA). I liked Shopify (SHOP) when they were cheaper and owned them from their IPO, now it's very expensive.

Most of the public traditional tech companies are extremely boring and not doing anything interesting. Whether Netflix, Facebook or Salesforce.com, it's 15-20 year old technology, that has been pushed & evolved to hyper scale (which is impressive of course). The only thing interesting about most public tech companies of consequence now, is the scaling that they do. Apple & the iPhone? A 10 year old leap, pushed to hyper scale to go with regular improvement - about as exciting as the desktop computer circa 2003.

Want to get at blockchain? AI? Robotics? Quantum computing? There aren't very many good, pure-play public companies for that. (I'm not buying Google at $670 billion to get at their quantum tech, which won't dent that market cap in the next decade).

Amazon is one of the few tech companies making bold moves. I'm not paying 200x earnings for 20% sales growth, so that one day 15-20 years out they'll finally justify their present valuation. nVidia is another that is interesting and very expensive accordingly (at a 600%+ valuation increase in two years on the back of ~170% earnings growth, dangerous is an ideal word for their stock).
That was just the paint burning off, I think.
Not only does it still exist, devices running 32-bit Windows 10 are still actively sold. I purchased one in 2016 (Intel compute stick) and another in 2017 (Ollee D1016W).

Both have 64-bit capable Atom CPUs, but were deliberately shipped with a 32-bit userland (presumably to save on disk space).
> What's the whole reason behind distinguishing between integers and float/doubles?

Because historically CPUs worked efficiently natively on integers, and everything else was software. (Modern CPUs also work efficiently natively on floats, but with different representation and operations.)

Note that not all languages (even o n your list) have the problem you describe though; plenty of automatic coercion with numeric operators so, e.g., float times int works (doing a float operation). Ruby, for instance, does this.

And many also do the calculation you present exactly (not merely without errors) because they treat decimal literals as exact numbers (using either a decimal or rational type, rather than binary floating point.) Perl 6 and Scheme, for instance. I think Haskell also can, if the right priority for numeric literal types is set.

> What is the complexity behind this?

It's not really complex, it's just a matter of prioritizing making performance vs. accuracy & generality simple, with a dash of consideration of programming history which shapes expectations.
It's hard to compare like for like with used games, but Amazon is typically better at discounting newer games. If you are prime, Amazon kills GameStop with pre-orders. GameStop is almost always full retail - $59.99. Amazon discounts pre-orders to $47.99.

Another knock on GameStop is their miserable in store experience with aggressive upsells, selling opened products as new, data breaches, and lousy treatment of their salespeople. It is impossible for GameStop to survive because they are fighting Amazon on one side, and the digital distribution platforms of the console manufacturers on the other. They are the next Blockbuster/Radio Shack.
It would be a gain for diversity in Japan, though. These things are relative.

Also Amazon isn't that cheap either. They try their best to keep third party websites from displaying historic price.

MassDrop doesn't show their past price too.

I find often now that you can go the a publisher website and their book will be cheaper to order from there. Sure you won't have 2 day shipping but standard shipping is free.
Input and output need to be matched regardless of any subsidies that may exist.
As soon as developers have access to the production credentials it's game over. Auditability is gone. Passwords end-up being stored in various password stores and plain files because it's convenient. Developers connect to the production system and start doing live changes.

Hashicorp Vault is more difficult to put in place but it does the right thing. With it's custom backend it can generate temporary tokens, for example to access the database. Those token are short-lived and part of the audit log.
It seems cloneable, scihub is backed by libgen which receives every proxied document and serve them as torrents (with stable availability). Also the files db is public. It's a bit large in total, something like 20TB for all files, 200MB db dump.

Still the sci hub proxy is indeed a single point of failure, but people could mirror the already stored part. I'd do it if I had a team.
Itanium did as well but then to no avail. It had direct support for modulo loop scheduling. Also, register renaming (which is temporal) is useful for software pipelining.

I think the Mill people should concentrate on what VLIW has had some success with in the past: embedded. There will be tears if they go after general purpose.

Absolutely, content matters, and so does context. Take the solo in Living Colour's "Cult of Personality", a gibberish mess of seemingly random notes; he abuses that instrument like it owes him a lot of money! It works perfectly in the song however, so I suppose it's all a matter of taste.

p.s. Aja is an absolute classic :)
That's pretty much the definition of a "hub". Wall St doesn't need to relocate. Global markets have adapted to operate on EST. Not the other way around.
My boring answer: none directly, though an index fund I invest in has a small share of Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Facebook. I already work in tech, both at my main and side jobs, so not being too invested in tech seems wise even if I don't see it blowing up again.
How many people used sci hub to this day ? how many donated ?

Wouldn't that subsidy delay the cost drop in batteries? Instead those expenditures can go towards batteries, which will be costly, but will hasten the price drops and technological development of batteries.
I have found only eating when hungry works for me, at least so far.

I look at the way I have lived my life, and honestly, only think I'm still around is due to not eating much.

I hate breakfast, and usually skip lunch because it makes me tired.

(I've only heard one doctor admit to bad eating habits like myself, and his name is Dr. Dean Edell. I used to listen to his show daily, and just figured he was a sensable eater. He then said, 'I basically eat at night when I get home. I do try to include some friuts/vegatables in my meals. I really miss his show.).
"Instead, Amazon's main benefit is the social network, its marketplace (as full of counterfeits and cheap Alibaba peddled goods are... that's a lot of business Amazon has on its marketplace), and AWS."

I speak only for myself and do not presume to extend my experience into any kind of larger data, but for me the entire value proposition of Amazon is quick, predictable shipment of items.

If I order something from Amazon I will receive it when they claim 99.9% of the time, and the only failures I've ever experienced were the fault of 3rd party package deliver companies (eg. FedEx, USPS...) This will be either same day, next day or two days. I don't use non-prime Amazon, not because it will cost me extra for shipping (I will often spring extra for same-day/next-day shipping on orders less than $35), but because I no longer trust the shipping estimates when it isn't Amazon fulfilled.

The only two sites on the whole of the Internet that have ever earned my trust on fast, predictable shipment are Amazon and Newegg. Every other site I've used has failed me in one way or another on fulfillment and lost my trust on predictability.
Me too. One thing that drives me nuts is for some reason on the nytimes website when you double tap (I don't like to click) on text to highlight it will change the size of the text... I always forget about this and it takes active thought not to try highlighting things!
He is making a generalization. Apple makes about 80% of the market's profits with their phones. They sell a ton and bank on it. The other companies either don't sell a lot, or like Samsung, they sell a ton but barely make a profit.
Perhaps they are trying to improve the situation, but I read Debian security advisories regularly, and they are almost always published without a fix on the testing branch.

Unstable is the Debian branch to use if stable is too slow for one's tastes. The testing branch is just for testing and it's really not safe to use on the internet.
Are you sure about that? Police officers owe a duty to the public in general, not to specific individuals. In general, police officers do not have a duty of care towards individuals unless there was a prior promise to provide protection, and then only in that context.

https://www.policeone.com/police-jobs-and-careers/articles/4...

I'd like some case law support for your claim that failure to arrest/act by a police officer equates to a violation of the first amendment.

In the meantime, I'd also like you to consider that it's not hard to find examples of collusion between police and members of right-wing militias, as in this one from just a few weeks ago, which provoked questions from the mayor of Portland: https://theintercept.com/2017/06/08/portland-alt-right-milit...

In this document, the police chief replied to the mayor's inquiries and admitted (Q5/page 5) preemptively detaining and photographing left-wing activists on the basis that they might later engage in violence against right-wing activists, based on observations of earlier altercations between the two groups. Oddly, no such preemptive behavior was carried on with respect to the right-wing group. I might point out that the ACLU also finds this problematic.

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3873511-Marshman-Res...

Individual anecdotes like this are not dispositive, but there is at least some evidence for believing that the police do not reliably maintain a politically neutral position as referees of fair play and good behavior, notwithstanding the belief that they should.
Focus itself is not a sign of benign interest.

I can think of the children, er, think of other instances of radically focusing on children which might not be so positive.
Thanks slang800...to add to smt88's good points, phone apps that are supposed to perform a similar function don't work well and reduce the audio quality- as you can see from the reviews on this phone app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/awareness-the-headphone-app/... This is due to hardware/app limitations. Another advantage of being a separate device is you have the freedom to place it where you want with an extension, so you won't have the microphone buried in your pocket for instance. Also, it adjusts the alert level to your surroundings after a button press. A phone app wouldn't be as convenient because you would have to unlock your phone and go to the app for adjustment. Lastly it has 50+ hours of life on a charge (rechargeable) and can be used with any audio player and headphones.
Thanks smt88!

Compiler problems are not the sole reason Itanium failed, perhaps not even the primary one. They were not good initially, that's true. But Itanium was more killed by a combination of factors, and especially by AMD64 existing.

The first Itanium sucked, and had a very bad memory subsystem. Itanium 2 was pretty competitive in performance, with one major exception: the x86 emulation. Why buy Itanium—even if it's very fast—if you could buy cheaper AMD64 which supports your existing software? Add in that Itanium compilers were few in number, all proprietary (and expensive), and didn't generate very good code for the first few years. Also, Itanium violated some programmer assumptions (very weak memory model and accessing an undefined value could cause an exception).

Now, Mill has a better way of extracting ILP than Itanium does, compiler technology is much better, and JIT compilers are very common. VLIW processors can be very good JIT targets. Mill, if it ever materializes, has enormous potential.

Many interesting chips failed. My favorites:

- National 32032 CPUs. Basically a VAX-on-a-chip, they were relatively slow and pretty buggy. (They were one of the processors we considered using in the Atari ST, but the 68000 won out, thank goodness).

- INMOS Transputer. One of the early "just apply +5V and ground and happy computing!" systems with zero support chips needed, quite easy to put into a grid of compute elements. Very interesting nibble-based instruction set, worth studying. Unfortunately the high-level language INMOS was pushing (Occam) was really strange, and Transputer performance was never really great. There were also some cool microcode bugs (you could lock a Transputer up for minutes by executing a bit-shift instruction with a very large count).

- RCA 1802. Another early microprocessor. Not really a failure, but not a huge success, except for its radiation-hardened variants, which have flown on many space missions.

- Just about any floating-point coprocessor chip. Ugh. Thank goodness the early Pentiums stopped that madness [1].

[1] I heard that Intel wanted to charge for doing floating-point operations on Pentiums. The idea was that you'd pay to have an "enable" fuse blown, which would purchase (say) 100M operations before a disable fuse got blown. There'd be something like 64 fuses, and the last one would enable floating ops forever. The rationale was that the only people who really cared about floating point were folks running spreadsheets . . . and those people obviously had money and would pay for performance! People hated this idea; then 3D gaming started to be popular (with Quake, et al) and suddenly flops were in general use and it would have been a really awful marketing move by Intel.
Why not just reverse the SELECT and FROM clauses?

FROM table1, table2
SELECT col1, col2
WHERE ...

or even better

FROM table1 JOIN table2 ON condition ...
SELECT ...
WHERE [additional join conditions]
HAVING [filter conditions]

Then the compound version looks like:

FROM (
FROM tables...
SELECT ...
WHERE
) SELECT...
WHERE ...

or

FROM (
FROM tables ...
SELECT ...
) JOIN [whatever]
SELECT ...
WHERE ...

Actually, putting the WHERE before the SELECT makes even more sense.
I don't follow his blog but it does turn up in searches, which is how I usually read his posts, and that was enough to see the same sort of attitude you allude to. He seems to really enjoy gloating over the fact that he knows some things about Windows but others don't.

Yes, but machines with 64-bit CPUs are still being sold with 32-bit OSes for various reasons.

I have to agree. I've been doing some price comparisons for stuff I normally buy at the store vs Amazon, and Amazon is generally in par, if not a little more expensive. Add in sales tax and it's really the same as buying it in stores now. Of course, there are exceptions for stuff that's on sale, but generally, I'm not saving a lot on stuff I buy from Amazon. Is my time worth $1.00? I guess there's the argument of not having to spend time/gas going to the store to buy something, but if I'm already going there, or it's on my way home...
