> the pain that a human has to suffer for eating inferior food lacking essential nutrients

That's only the half of it! What would happen to our national dishes if meat, fish and frutti de mare were to be banished from the table?! Barbaric!
Eating lower on the foodchain is a strategy to reduce the suffering caused by one's own survival - a cow shares much of our physiology, so reasonably we can assume it suffers from things which would cause us to suffer; a crustacean, less so, and a cucumber, not at all, at least by any mechanism we understand.
Thanks, that's perfect.
>The Democratic party simply can't be institutionally bigoted against those groups and survive as a party; those groups are core parts of the Democratic coalition; the Democrats in a real way simply are the Latino and African American vote.

Of course it can be bigoted. Those minorities do not make up a majority of the party and as long as they feel the goals of the party overall help them more than Republicans they will put up with whatever racist crap that comes from Democrats (e.g. "tell em you're a Muslim" Pelosi).

It's all about tradeoffs, a party that offers racist policies in your favor and/or the refusal to enforce laws that affect many of your people is better than a party with no favors offered, even if the former is filled with bigoted morons.

Yes, but here it's hardly reasonable to describe the choice of numbers as "crappy design". It's a rational choice: a number that is easy to remember, and accidental calls don't happen too easily, making the service better available for actual emergencies.

Britain still talks of 999 only, even if 112 works just the same - today, as extremely few phones use decadic dialing any more, a number that would be represented by just four on-hook pulses is no longer any more of a problem from the point of accidentally dialing it.
> This is an important differentiation.

From the user's perspective, not really. Many people compare their credit card to Bitcoin even if the way these systems work are completely different (credit network atop fiat versus digital asset, as you say).

At the end of the day, all that matters is how fast, secure and reliable these things are to the user. If they can pay for their loaf of bread within 5 seconds and easily pay off their credit card once a month, and the Bitcoin alternative is using a crypto-exchange, exposing yourself to volatility risk, all for something that is slower and less reliable at the point-of-sale... Bitcoin is far behind.

Sure, if we had a credit system on top of Bitcoin, it would probably have an easier time competing with VISA credit cards, but the fact is that does not exist so cannot easily be compared today.

Do it on ingress of regular customers or very small peering interfaces, not peering links with other ISPs.

OK, now I totally want to go to what ever academy they open up for this branch and officially become a Space Cadet! :-)

More seriously, this isn't much different that the Army Air Corps becoming the Air Force, logistically it opens up a branch that can have strategies and priorities that are not constrained by its original branch (the original Air Corps was constantly arguing with the Army over what was more important, tanks or airplanes, for example). It also opens up a bunch of jokes for late night comedians like "Look, it is a new customer for the F35 Joint Strike Fighter, now its required to operate in a vacuum!"

And slowly, the language is expanding in very obvious conclusions.

Personally, I think there needs to be a balance in a language, where it should not be too restrictive in its syntax, but on the other hand, it should not be overly complex and has too much syntax. I am on the fence with Swift, but it does seem to come on the complex side.

Perhaps its not a binary thing. It seems an organization can be more business-like or government-like in a variety of ways.

I mean look at insurance companies and their draconian forms to be filled out in triplicate for the littlest thing and limited sign-up dates. They even earn their money like a government taking it from you on a schedule, with little obvious effect until it becomes apparent why their service is valuable (or not).

Then on the other hand look at government groups like the military at war, efficient command and control pure meritocratic objective seeking, if one group can't do it another can and does. Their efficiency is not to reach a financial goal first, it is to achieve some goal set by the civilian government despite active opposition from other people.

Perhaps rules mandating checking for outside bids to fight cronyism, provincialism and outright corruption are a good idea even in the most liberal governments. Perhaps ruthless unilateral control have no place even in the most right wing group. Perhaps government is too complex to be summed up in a single sentence.

I know these guys understand quantum anything more than I ever will, but is having a larger radix specifically a practical way for increasing performance?

If a binary device has a hardware fault, bits that are in error still have a 50% chance of being correct. It seems like a single component failing here would make this worse (five times worse if it wasn't quantum).

I don't know whether or not the pros outweigh the cons here, or at what radix they do (there's probably some statistical analysis that can answer that), but ten just _seems_ like too much.
It feels boring without ability to jailbreaking your device but overall that's better for end-user security (less malware) and developer profit(less pirate).
I have to wonder if pandering to "fresh college grad" only is the way forward with new languages. We were once beginners - did you see challenges when you were studying the languages you are now fluent in?

I have a feeling like the computer world is being torn between two extremes - either go all-out complex or "think of the children" simple approach. Not just in programming languages, but in software development in general. If forced to pick out of those two, my personal preference would be the complex, but I would like to see a middle ground of "moderate" technologies.

You're right in that the loudness war wasn't the result of the limitations of the CD format, it was the result of the newfound capability inherent in the format. The "loudness war" was a continual ratcheting up of dynamic range compression, something easily achieved with a digital representation of the intended soundwave.

The manner in which the album is recorded (analog vs. digital) doesn't matter, it's the limitations of the format for which the master is intended. The physical limitation of a needle tracking a groove measured in microns places a hard limit on the amount of compression which can be applied to the dynamic range. You can't make a needle follow the kind of narrow, jagged, shallow groove that would be the result of using a "loudness wars" era master meant for the CD format.

That said, the number of "got to have it" albums which were caught up in the loudness war isn't enormous. The biggest victims were re-releases of classic rock albums during the 90's but the original records with the true mastering are widely available in the used market. While there are some classic albums begging for a vinyl focused remaster, there aren't too many people clamoring for Limp Bizkit's catalogue to be rereleased without all the trickery employed on the CD master. There are also a ton of garbage "vinyl remasters" out there cashing in on the trend. For example vinyl rerelease of the early Modest Mouse catalogue is just garbage. I seriously think they lied about finding the original masters and just took the CD master and added "crackle and pop" on top to mask the obvious half-assing. That or they used the worst pressing supplier on earth.

Interesting how this mirrors the debate in many corporations between functional organization (eng/sales/UX/marketing/accounting/HR) vs. product organization (Search/Ads/Chrome/Android/GMail/etc.) The military is organized functionally. Recently, basically every major company other than Apple has found that product organization yields better results, because each individual product can better respond to competitive threats in their market.

Makes me wonder if the U.S. military is the next big institution to be "disrupted" by thousands of tiny startups, we just don't realize it because fortunately, everyone would rather have peace.
The loudness war was directly related to CDs becoming popular.

"...because of the limitations of the vinyl format, loudness and compression on a released recording were restricted to make the physical medium playable—restrictions that do not exist on digital media such as CDs—and as a result, increasing loudness levels never reached the significance that they have in the CD era."

> The issues with inheritance based OOP

Inheritance is just one of multiple facets of safe code reuse in OOP. Aggregation, composition, encapsulation are as are much as fundamental notions in OOP as inheritance. So i think reducing OOP in general, and java in particular to "inheritance based OOP" is a miss characterization

> are that it fits very few problems well, that it usually causes lots of problems and that many programming languages only have inheritance based OOP in their toolbox.

Do you have any objective way to measure that ?

I don't really know a thing about that sort of network, but if you can assume a reliable network, the machine reading the packets going down shouldn't matter. The sender won't get an "ACK", will know the other machine is at fault and not the network, and can resend.

Given a "perfect network" I think exactly-once-delivery is possible, right?

Don't get me wrong, Go's simplicity comes with considerable tradeoffs and I'm not sure I'd use it in most cases again (started a greenfield codebase with it 3 years ago which is now around 200kloc).

Just pointing out that syntactic edge cases can make writing easy, but most of programming (beyond one-off scripts) isn't writing. See: Scala and C++. Companies using these languages in production frequently disallow entire subsets of syntax or language features because they're hard to maintain.

Balance certainly is key.

It's been a failure in my opinion. The benefits of the patent licensing clause did not win out over the massive loss of the likes of Apple, the BSDs etc. shunning GPLv3 software.

It also spurred a lot of rewrites of GPL software. This has been good for the most part, but the opposite of what the FSF intended.
Second this. Some of my friends and I use Scott's emails to discover cheap fares to any destination. We typically don't have any specific destination in mind.

When one of us sees Scott's email with attractive deal, we check Google flights for appropriate dates (typically 7-10 days trip) and ping each other to see who is interested in that trip and dates. Then we just book flights typically within 2-6 hours of receiving email. Afterward we research the destination, decide rest of the itinerary for the trip, and book AirBnBs.

We call it travel easter egg hunting.
