"Purism" in this situation is to deny every useful feature because your compiler developers aren't capable of implementing them.
>What is easier having to have this conversation EVERY time the term gets used for the rest of eternity, or making the change once and being done with it?

That's not very compelling. Just because certain people make a lot of noise doesn't mean we have to do what they want us to do.

>For most projects it seems like a pretty easy change. You could add new keywords, alias the old methods/commands to them. You don't even have to deprecate them, just make the docs point to the newer terminology.

...for every project that uses these terms across the entire industry. You know what's easier? Not making the change. There are two arguments:

1. The technical gain by changing these terms outweighs the drawbacks (legacy code, consensus/convention, etc.). I doubt there's much to gain here.

2. The technical aspect doesn't matter since it's offensive. I've already addressed this.

You sound like an architecture person (I'm not, btw), so maybe you can give the lowdown on this.

Why registers? I haven't studied the Tomasulo algorithm in any detail, but if you're going to do "register renaming", why have registers at all? You could, for example, treat memory as a if-needed-only backing store, and then add a "commit" instruction that commits memory (takes an address, or a range). Sure you need to make changes with how you do mm i/o and protection, but at a basic level: why registers?

I'm glad FPGA's are becoming a thing, and I think we're about a decade or two away from ASICs as a service, because if you're not beholden to tradition, you really can work some magic. Of course I'll be pretty rusty by then, but who knows, maybe medicine will keep me feisty.

A friend who was there through much of the 90s used to remark that it was great when the share price was exponential because "the assholes" would leave as soon as they could "call in rich", but the people who loved the job would stay.

The intrinsic cost of urban living is much less than the intrinsic cost living in car focused suburbs. It is only more expensive now because of an under supply of urban areas caused by decades of subsidization of car focused suburbs. The ROI of spending on urban infrastructure is much higher than spending on car focused suburban development.

Deep space interplanetary missions are expensive as hell. The data on those tapes, if there's no existing copy (for which there is no evidence), was both extremely expensive to gather and irreplaceable. Not attempting to recover the data from a volume of tapes small enough to fit in a guy's basement shows the contempt that NASA has for the money it's spent and the value of what it's done. Oh, and cleaning off a little mold? Gee, that sounds like a HUGE deal for what's supposed to be an agency with cutting edge technology and BILLIONS of dollars annual budget.
well.. the PO charges $21+ for its Priority Express service (next day).. And to that extent those pacakges are treated like gold. separated upon receipt, etc...

Amazon is treated the same way, or better. Just their parcels do not go through the mail system as they are brought to the individual post offices.

Given 2 parcels, One has Amazon on it and one Lands End, the Amazon is given extra attention and all others are not.

That is my point.

As far as efficiency goes, getting a piece of paper for less than $.50 is not to bad, IMO. Yes, things can always get better.

Huh? If you want to buy a million dollar condo in SF when you hit 30, the down payment would be 200K. If you and your your spouse save an extra $50 a week then you'll have $66K. That's one-third of the down payment you need using the numbers from the tweet which only represent avocado toast expenditures. Save another $50/wk by not going to bars (1 person can easily spend $50 on alcohol in a night out). Save another $50/wk by not going to starbucks. Save another $50/wk by not going into extreme student loan debt which is totally avoidable. Save another $50/wk by not leasing an Audi A4 because it's always been your dream car therefore you should have one when you're 22. Save another...

The point is, you can save a lot of money by making smart choices instead of blaming baby boomers.

true... but the other parcels, say Lands End, do not have the same priority as Amazon. If a Lands End is missed, so be it.

As a customer, you don't expect Lands End EXACT date, but as Amazon you do. Shouldn't the PO get paid MORE for this, instead of less?

But in this case, it looks like a nasty fight between two women

That's where I think my responders are missing my point. If this were just some fight between random women on the street, or two close friends, or neighbors, your description would be accurate. It would neither surprise me, nor give me reason to think much about it. This is not, however, just "between two women". It's a business relationship. That makes things a little different, including entire legal frameworks are built around business relationships. AFAIK, no laws exist that dictate my relationships with personal friends.

Suppose a similar conversation, with similar closing comments, took place at work? Still think it's a fight between two women? Would you get upset if someone got marched down to HR for a little re-education?

Look, I get what y'all are saying; I wouldn't rent to her, either, for the good reasons already outlined.

Had the host just cancelled, we probably wouldn't be reading about because nearly everyone would be on the side of the host. But the host just had to bring race into it in a fit of temper. Now all those good reasons go out the window. If you can't keep your temper, and keep your mouth under control, maybe being an AirBnb host isn't for you.

In theory yes, but in practice I think people who want to make a good amount of money don't work in these jobs, or at least not for long. For instance, you aren't born as ultra-specialist. You get there by dedicated work and the goal to stick to that kind of task. People who want to earn money know a little about a lot of different things.

About the middle management I can only suggest to read the Gervais Principle. They may be mostly the people who are not smart enough to get to the top and not socially skilled enough to job-hop easily enough.

I did https://bradfieldcs.com after working as a IC for awhile and found it hugely valuable. I didn't have a CS undergrad and worked in Node, so skipped the majority the deeper fundamental studies around databases, networking, and computer architecture since I was abstracted from them in day-to-day work (or at least thought I was...:)).

I took a 10wk leave from work to go full-time through Bradfield and would recommend it to anyone that's spent time working as an engineer and is interested in leveling up generally or refining a specific skill set.

The stuff I learned there has ended up showing up almost daily for me at work and I've since been promoted to technical lead.

We'd love to include DOIs for each version of datasets. I think it's feasible for us to do that, but we haven't scoped out how hard or expensive that will be. In the meantime, if you have a way of creating DOIs from URLs, creating a package version will give you a permanent URL for a version of a dataset. If you have a recommendation for how to implement DOI creation, please let us know. Thanks!

Pressed juice is superior in quality, taste & nutrition than juice harvested via a centrifugal juicer that uses blades. That said, your point stands, if you use a masticating cold press juicer which you can get for $300 or less routinely. The main difference is the high speed centrifugal juicers oxidize the juice, heat it up and make it really foamy as opposed to the masticating method which is essential a large gear that the fruit is slowly pushed/crushed through.

First, I'm not looking for a language. Programming languages are part of my field. I was making an observation rather than expressing a need. If there's a language that's not totally obscure or esoteric, I've probably written some serious code in it at some time.

Second, I know and use Scala (among other languages) and have done so since the 1.x versions, but the JVM dependency is too often a problem (and Scala Native is not yet mature).

The main difference as I see it is that in Rust, you can't get the success value if there's an error, so you're forced by the compiler to handle any error if there is one. With tuples, you're free to just look at one element regardless of the value of the other.

I adore redis, I use it for tons of stuff, but I still like to keep my single-point-of-truth for critical data in an ACID, transactional relational database.

I frequently denormalize that data INTO redis so I can answer certain classes of queries quickly. I'm also very happy with redis for caching, rate limiting, inter-process-communication, distributed locking and tons of other fun use-cases.
If you were an engineer from 2117 transported back in time by 100 years (the conceit - just assume this) and decided to get rich here in 2017 by taking the largest breakthrough you can think of from your time which is surely subject to patent protection and can surely work with the mechanics and technology of today, and is simple enough that you are 100.00% sure that you fully understand the mechanics of it and cannot possibly make any mistake, and, further, gives obvious utility so that it's basically impossible to get wrong and market incorrectly, then you would have a 0% chance of raising money and bringing it to market as a startup within 1 year. This is extremely certain. Nobody will give you the money to build your prototype, no matter what you say or show, as though every VC you spoke with were cursed with an inability to engage in abstract thinking or as if it were impossible to find a single VC anywhere in the world who can apply high-school level of physics. Your experience would be as though everyone you spoke with, while they spoke with you, had an 80-point drop in their IQ.

Under these conditions the real invisible unicorns are the ones that simply fail to climb out of this hole: they are the billion-dollar companies that are totally unfundable and simply do not make it past that stage and die.

Here is a Quora link to one of the best ideas I've ever heard in my life and easily the basis for building a $50B+ company. I ran across it as a VC quoted it as something like the "dumbest pitch they ever heard."

https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-horror-stories-about...

Actually the exact words were: "the most breathtakingly clueless company I have ever had pitch me (and I am not making this up.)"

This company was seeking $2 million only and clearly outlined a very specific growth plan. It is very easy to see the author's reasoning and the clear path they had for $50B+ as well as the likely reactions of other market participants.

If you are a founder of an invisible unicorn, it is important for you to not subject yourself to this ridicule. Not only will VC's waste your time and drive your company into the ground: they will gloat about it on Quora. The correct approach is to completely ignore them and be and stay invisible.

The seed-stage funding climate is completely broken and lots of great companies and ideas die for this reason; a few manage not to die somehow, as we hear about here.

For every invisible unicorn, there are a lot of premature unicorn deaths.

(Actually for this reason the word "incubator" is an excellent one, as it really is like an incubator of a premature birth of a youngling that will die if exposed to the elements and without intensive care and treatment.)
