Whichever version of Ubuntu introduced pulseaudio crashed any time Flash was used on a website, often in ads. May have been that. I mean, Pulseaudio crashed xwindow (or just stopped working) all the time in that version, but Flash was the easiest way to kill it.

Just skimming through the Solidity docs, I see a lot of unwise decisions there aside from the weird visibility defaults.

All state is mutable by default (this includes struct fields, array elements, and locals). Functions can mutate state by default. Both are overridable by explicit specifiers, much like C++ "const", but you have to remember to do so. Even then, the current implementation doesn't enforce this for functions.

Integers are fixed-size and wrap around, so it's possible to have overflow and underflow bugs. Granted, with 256 bits of precision by default that's harder to do than usual... but still pretty easy if you e.g. do arithmetic on two inputs.

Operators have different semantics depending on whether the operands are literals or not. For example, 1/2 is 0.5, but x/y for x==1 and y==2 is 0. Precision of the operation is also determined in this manner - literals are arbitrary-precision, other values are constrained by their types.

Copy is by reference or by value depending on where the operands are stored. This is implicit - the operation looks exactly the same in code, so unless you look at declarations, you don't know what it actually does. Because mutability is pervasive, this can can have far-reaching effects.

Map data type doesn't throw on non-existing keys, it just returns the default value.

The language has suffixes for literals to denote various units (e.g. "10 seconds" or "1000 ether"). This is purely syntactic sugar, however, and is not reflected in the type system in any way, so "10 second + 1000 ether" is valid code.

Statements allow, but do not require, braces around bodies. This means that dangling "else" is potentially an issue, as is anything else from the same class of bugs (such as the infamous Apple "goto fail" bug).

Functions can be called recursively with no special effort, but the stack size is rather limited, and it looks like there are no tail calls. So there's the whole class of bugs where recursion depth is defined by contract inputs.

Order of evaluation is not defined for expressions. This in a language that has value-returning mutating operators like ++!

Scoping rules are inherited from JS, meaning that you can declare variables inside blocks, but their scope is always the enclosing function. This is more of an annoyance than a real problem, because they don't have closures, which is where JS makes it very easy to shoot yourself in the foot with this approach to scoping.
One thing that is not mentioned in the article at all, other than the existence of scooters, is that specifically a huge number of them are 2-stroke gasoline engines which are incredibly polluting. It's worth having a discussion about the environmental implications of a growing middle class in south asia buying cars, but at least if scooters are replaced with cars such as this on a 1:1 basis, the air will be a LOT cleaner. The air in Lahore or New Delhi on a typical day is a blue-gray haze full of two stroke engine exhaust. The typical two stroke scooter pollutes more than a giant american gas guzzling SUV from 20 years ago.

Yes, both of those are real problems but if you look at the economic data from India there is a rapidly growing middle class that can now afford something better than a $600 two stroke engine scooter. When you have a population of 1.2 billion, even if a large majority remain in relative poverty, the disposable income and buying power of the new middle class is not something companies are going to ignore. India is a fascinating study in contrasts, the gap between rich and poor is incredibly huge. There's a domestic space program that was capable of sending a probe to Mars, yet designated defecation streets are a real thing.

There's nothing "magical" about the human brain, but it's an extremely large, massively parallel device that with a clock speed of about 100 Hz.

When I say "massively parallel" I mean that a human brain (forget rest of nervous system) has about 80 G neurons. Each of which has a fan out between 10^4 and 10^5.

Architecturally this is quite different from a transistorized device with a much faster clock speed but a paucity of interconnect. Now few people say that we need to duplicate the brain (Numenta excepted -- although I have been half of a team that made a new brain and it was fun). After all an automobile does not look like a cheetah nor a plane look like an eagle. But this should give you some idea of the complexity of the problem.

(At Leela we are building something that approaches a more "brain" like computation when compared to, say, deep Q learning, and even for us, the equivalent of 2 M neurons requires about 16 TB of RAM).

Yes the long hours, hierarchy and respect are all true. I used to work for a Japanese company and some of the hours were brutal but it was great experience to be fair. Like you say, Western countries could learn a fair bit from Japanese values (respect, being in control of emotions, integrity etc).

It's certainly a very interesting place to live and work and I highly recommend coming over if you get the chance. Feel free to reach out via mail if you have further questions about living and working in Japan. Also check my blog as I'll be posting articles about my experiences over here which might be interesting for you.

Thanks for reading!

Firefox has never had a "native GTK2" UI. Australis was not a move from such a UI.

Photon is not a wholesale move away from XUL either.
Use a simpler hosting provider if you're not already familiar with AWS. Power brings complexity, and your product likely won't benefit from solving infrastructure problems you don't have (yet).

That said, once your product outgrows simpler infrastructure I'd wholeheartedly recommend AWS. For the past few years I've been using AWS for my day job and side projects. Prices are competitive, and once you're past the learning curve, you'll have a great deal of flexibility.

Talk about unsupported assertions. You do realize the article you're commenting on is titled 153K Ether Stolen in Parity Multi-Sig Attack.

Others have noted your confusion about what "consumer protections" means. It is patently obvious that paying out $153,000 in insurance claims would be more expensive than reversing the fraudulent transactions.
>"They fear ramifications yet unknown."

No they fear losing access to the briefings entirely. Read my previous link. The ramifications are pretty well known.

This white house would like nothing more than to ban the media and do away with the daily briefings altogether. First they banned cameras, then they banned audio. It's important for the press to be there period now.

A cowboy stunt would solve nothing, in fact it would give the administration the justification they need for dispensing with White House press corp completely.

Hmm, but by the algorithm you describe you are MORE likely to get a "super predictable" a/b/a/b than you would with just an independently random coin flip each time. That is, strings of multiple As or Bs in a row is less likely with your algorithm, but you make it sound like that's what you wanted.
Really, Google, all I want is my search-oriented "plus" operator back, and for you to unfuck search.

I fortunately don't have a ton of direct experience in this area. But spent alot of time with a recovering addict/alcoholic and drug counselor.

Maybe his point of view was out of date, but I recall that he saw kicking any of these problems was something that came from within. You had to want out strongly. My friends moment was when his kids didn't want to see him.

People shun addicts to survive, not out of cultural conditioning. The addiction comes first, and the addict will hurt anyone to get it.

So true. The Mozilla corp lost touch with their users. All early Netscape employees left, now it's official a non-profit but acts like big corp.

Firefox become unusable - shut down Firebug replaced by half-assed new DevTools, removed XUL based API, multi-process support that's still not working like Chrome1+/IE8+, still dog slow, can't handle more than a few tabs, Addons-website got useless as most addons aren't working anymore.

Sad, but Chrome is so much better, and Firefox is digging in a bigger rabbit hole with every new release. Would be great if we keep another open source competing browser around. Servo based browser could be a fresh start, but they need to focus now, in a year it can be too late.

I think you misundertood the justification of the "remove FTP" bug.

That bug was filed by the person who wrote most of the FTP implementation in Firefox and was one of the few people who maintained it. The reasons to consider removal were that it was a maintenance burden, extra security attack surface, and not really relevant to users nowadays. The posted link only spoke to that last point: that other widely used browsers were removing it and it wasn't being a problem for their users, apparently.

The first two reasons for removal were not clearly explained in the bug report initially, because they were obvious to both the bug filer and his intended audience: the networking module owners and peers.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1174462#c23 for more details.

Would the summary being "consider removing FTP support" more accurately reflect intent? Probably. Did the actual engineers involved know what the bug was about? Yes.

> Or, better yet, I remember that there was talk of having Chrome switch back to using a native pdf renderer back from the javascript one.

I assume you mean Firefox? Speed was part of that discussion, but so were the various features pdf.js lacks but the proposed replacement supports.

> It is only a matter of time until Firefox makes it harder to download video, solely because Chrome is doing it.

If you assume that Mozilla is just aping Google. But if, on the other hand, you just have that as a preconceived notion and try to make all decisions fit that theory no matter what the actual reasons for them are... then you might just guess wrong on this.

I agree with you on the broad point that Firefox needs to do things Chrome can't or won't do. The worry with your "aggressive ad-blocking" suggestion (much as I would like that personally!) is that a likely outcome is a large enough number of sites blocking Firefox altogether that users stop being able to use it at all for normal browsing. If Firefox had a monopoly position in the market it _might_ be able to get away with that sort of move, but it doesn't have that position.

But if there's no disclaimer at all, then someone can sue you, even if the whole case is BS and the software you contributed to wasn't at fault. It's still something you'd have to deal with. Never contribute to something that doesn't have this sort of disclaimer- it means both that you would be leaving yourself open to lawsuits (justified or not), and that the people running the project don't know what they're doing.

If an open source project in this area doesn't have a disclaimer like this, the people running that project are clueless, and if they're clueless about that, they're almost certainly clueless about the much more complicated technical stuff, so it wouldn't be a project which would be desirable to contribute to in the first place.

There's also a dropdown showing up the first time you use the url bar. Depending on the value set for browser.urlbar.suggest.searches on that first run, the dropdown will either tell you about suggestions with a button leading to the prefs where you can disable them, or ask you whether you want to enable or disable them.

I think there were talks about not presenting the search box for new profiles, too, but it looks like that hasn't happened yet.

Why do you asssume smart contracts can't be ambiguous? A lot of people read the DAO contract, and yet it took a hacker a while to find a small error -- if I recall correctly it was a capitalization error -- that triggered an unexpected exit path.

At some point you have to ask yourself whether we really prefer that code be law, with the quality of code that's so common these days, or whether we actually like being able to specify something to a lawyer -- rather than a computer -- simply because the lawyer will return the contract and ask for clarification if something is ambiguous/unclear.

The human-to-lawyer interface is the best contract interface that exists, the only reason we use computers is because they're so cheap and fast. When we dream of AI we dream of having a computerized lawyer, who can ask clarifying questions and resolve ambiguity before it becomes a problem.

There is no actual standard for U2F on the web yet, for what it's worth. Chrome implemented and shipped something, and ever since have been talking about how it's terrible and needs to be replaced with a sane API instead. That's being worked on.

I'm growing increasingly uncomfortable with how Google, Facebook etc. are now positioning themselves in terms of what news and sources they believe we should and should not consume.

I think that lack of parallelism has almost nothing to do with graphs vs lists. It would be pretty easy to either store the entire dependency graph's fetching-critical metadata in each image or to make it possible to fetch the metadata separately from the core data. Both of those would allow you to parallelize downloading of image data in the graph-based system.

Having more granular layers can help a bit but in practice it hits its limits very quickly because higher layers will necessarily get swept up and have to be rebuilt when layers below them that they don't actually depend on get rebuilt. This rules out having a core image and a set of modules that each downstream image may or may not need (to be mixed in or not per-image). Thus, when you use the layer-based system in practice you usually end up with very little layer sharing between images, outside of the core Linux distro layers.
I don't think it's most people, but I understand some do. Hence my wording. That said, I don't have any data to back that up.
Most of your statements have been truisms but I'd like to see some concrete examples of self-taught or bootcamp devs moving out of web dev to a radically different field in software. Specifically in things that require an understanding of high performance, critical or real time software. These jobs usually have a higher barrier to entry, but you can still learn them on your own. It was discouraging to hear from a couple people that it's a big "nope" for self taught devs to take these jobs and that they should become a less risky hire by getting a traditional CS education. But that's just been without any examples of why.

Yes, I think both scenarios you outlined are what the companies that are most successful in the changing world of employment will do. They will both get to know people far in advance so that when the timing is right, they are able to get the best of both worlds—highly qualified talent when needed.

In addition, companies will look ahead to anticipate which talent might be a strong fit in the future and keep tabs on them as they develop in their careers. I think the honest truth as to why it is not happening more today is that it is so difficult! One part of the solution is building software that has this model for hiring as key part of it works, and that is Lever's focus.
