Apparently Hacker News cannot handle Whitespace. The hello.w sources is at

http://daly.axiom-developer.org/hello.w

There are two programs that exist to create the language.

The 'towhite' program turns any ASCII file into tabs, blanks, and newlines.

The 'totext' program turns a Whitespace file to ASCII text.

ASCII text is encoded using morse code, then the morse is translated so that period becomes blank, dash becomes tab. Uppercase characters are just ASCII prefixed with the morse for double-quote. Special characters are prefixed with morse for single-quote.

Post-processing a file with 'towhite' changes it to Whitespace.

Prefixing a compiler with the 'totext' program allows the compiler to see the original text so any compiler can become a Whitespace compiler.

If the compiler can compile itself then the compiler source code can be in Whitespace.

Generally the Surface products have a poor history of 'working' at launch. The reason for waiting is that the firmware improvements come out before you get the machine.

My Surface Book was a spotchy experience for the first 6 months or so. by month 6 it was running acceptably.
Well at $3k a month (which it will hit most definitely) most standard valuations would put the price at around $60k or so. Now add on top the fact that I'm not actively looking to sell it, you'd have to make a quite substantial offer above that to make it "really good".

Certainly nowhere near $1,000,000 :) I keep my eye on businesses for sale and have bought and sold a fair few so I have a good idea of what they cost.
Yes, with Tcl starting a server from an interactive interpreter and changing function and class definitions on the fly is trivially simple.

Car and Driver lists the WRX at 4.8 with a launch 5.0 w/o . http://www.caranddriver.com/subaru/wrx Interestingly, they list the STi at 4.7.

Also, the Miata is also widely considered a unique sports car. Sure, handling plays a role - but most people consider Camaros and Trans-Ams sports cars also. If the 3 is as nimble as the miata, it could earn a spot in the sporty list through its agility- but the original post referred to the 3's 0-60 as the reason to consider it sporty. Case in point, no one considers a CRX 'sporty.'

Marketing is the price you pay to get attention. All marketing is a hack for attention. Being data-driven and figuring out the 1% of your digital ads that are working, then capitalizing on them, is a hack. Using a unique marketing distribution channel or method is a hack. Embedding the marketing into your product is a hack. These are all "growth" hacks.

Cutting in front of the line is a hack to get your lunch faster, but if everyone's doing it, the hack starts to lose effectiveness.

Not that digital ads today are ineffective, but I do think its methods have reached notable saturation points.

> It's just the law, it's not really Facebook and Google trying to screw me.

There are bad laws, and then there are bad actors refusing to disobey bad laws, which is a quintessential civic obligation in the western tradition.
Depending where you live, there are likely laws prohibiting communication in public about sexuality (think graphically explicit pictures where accessible to children, think non-standard sexual expression), politics (think inciting hate against groups of humans and calls to kill them), culture (think sharing a song you really like with your peers), and many more.

You might say that these restrictions and censorship is okay because you agree with the given reason. But exactly like that, people in china might agree to the reasons their government is giving them for their censorship. Who is right?
Mass surveillance.

> So is everyone only hiring programmers who write code which can be sloppy and full of technical debt and impossible maintain, as long as the product works okay for now?

My experience says yes. The people hiring programmers usually have no ability to validate a programmer's skill. The only thing they care about is a working application that solves a business problem.

The bulk of code I come across as a consultant is "sloppy and full of technical debt". There are various reasons for it, not all of them reflect on the programmer.

I don’t think so. Look at the Git sources (https://github.com/git/git).
Most of the C source files are in the top directory.

Some other people like to write unit test in the same directories
as the source files, by adding a `.test` suffix to each source
file name.

Some other people like to embed unit tests in source files, “à

There is no One True rule. Not organizing things the way you do is not necessarily bad.
Ukraine got promises to respect their territorial integrity, not promises to come to their defense. Russia broke that promise, and the others are still keeping it.

One question: do they - Chinese people - even care? It's not exactly "good" - whatever Google could have done in such an environment - if you try to force it on an unwilling crowd.

I wouldn't mind selling one of my side projects, Water Marquee - https://www.watermarquee.com. It lets users watermark their photos. I started it about 5 years ago when I was getting back into development. It brings in around $1,200/month, though that's been growing lately. A year ago it was more like $500/month. It's been going up in search result rankings, I assume because I've tried to be more active on the blog (though it's paid-for content). There are around 1,000 visitors/day.

My email is my profile. The site is written in Node.js/angular 1.x. I haven't had to change the code in several months, so it's pretty much "done" as far as I'm concerned, and I'd rather spend my time on other projects.

I've been down this road. I used to be interested in "embodiment" as a path to AI, but in the sense of things that could move around in the physical world, not fall down, and not bump into stuff. Low-end mammal level AI was the goal - mouse level. I made some progress in that area [1], hit the limits of available simulators, spent several years on improving physics engine technology, and eventually sold that off to a game middleware company.

Boston Dynamics took that much further. But it's the same approach I used - analysis of the dynamics, not AI. It's a complicated problem in dynamics, but it barely needs AI at all. Boston Dynamics, unfortunately, demonstrated that even if you spend $120 million, you're not at a minimum viable product that sells yet. Really cool legged robot prototypes, though.

This was all before machine learning took off. For a while I was looking at adaptive model-based control, which is a lot like machine learning.
Machine learning seems to be getting good at what the front end sections of the visual and auditory cortexes do. This is real progress. But a whole organism is still out of reach.

There's a business case for focusing on language skills, but in a way, it's a distraction. The mammals all have close DNA compatibility, but only humans do language much. If we can get into the entry-level mammal range of AI, we should be getting close. I once said something like that to Rod Brooks when he was promoting Cog (a robot humanoid head with a lot of compute power), and he said "I don't want to go down in history as the man who developed the world's greatest robot mouse."

Reverse engineering biology is going very slowly. See "openworm.org", which is an effort to develop a good computerized model of the C. elegans nematode that runs in simulation. C. elegans has 302 neurons, the wiring diagram is known, and it still doesn't work. This shows how little we really know about nervous systems.

Libraries are amazing and should be more celebrated and funded to expand their core mission.

But cities like LA utilize libraries as refugees for homeless people which completely destroys the purpose. It should be a refuge for people working hard and trying to excel in life, not a place for people who have given up on life. I'm happy that the homeless have a place to go but as a society, it seems like we're doing everything wrong trying to fix the problem.
I desperately miss the time when I had access to an academic library membership. The depth and breadth of materials you have access to is truly staggering. I remember when I first learned that I could order art exhibition catalogues from other institutions all over the world, free of charge, I almost cried.

The myth that everything is out there on the web is really belied by a few hours spent in a subject-oriented academic library.

Naming it was not always done / well known.

Social scientists invented names. Marketers segmemted them.

I'm in my early 30s, but I've seen similar things happen with previous generations, yes.

However, not all generations are labelled as strongly. I think I'm part of a 'missing' generation. Technically I'm a millennial, but according to the top definition here (I'm aware Urban Dictionary isn't always the most reliable reference)... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Millennial ... I'd be a Generation Y Millennial. I do think there's a difference between Generation Y and Generation Z, not in the way where one is superior to the other, but in terms of the differences in the childhood and young adult experiences that shaped us. When I read articles about millennials they're almost always targetted at the Generation Z Millennials. I'm not complaining, I'm grateful I avoided the type of pigeonholing that Generation Z has unfortunately had to go through.

As for why this media focus on the next generation happens, I think part of it is adults trying to make sense of an unfamiliar culture. Perhaps it's a natural reaction when you have kids to try to make sense of the world they're growing up in (when they're not with you). There's often an undercurrent of negativity, though this can run in both directions (the baby boomer generation is widely seen as greedy, for example, though of course such generalisations don't really hold up to much scrutiny).

In short, yes.

I think you're painting with too broad strokes by likening all marketing to hacks. Marketing is more like finding alpha in a changing, inefficient market. There are going to be short term and long term strategies that work. The only guarantee is that things will change with time and those with more information will beat those with less.
> Like did the newspapers write about Gen X'ers

Yes. It was annoying at the time. Especially how marketing people described every product as "eXXXXXtreme!!!!", because they thought that's how we all talked.

However, strangely enough I DO miss being, well... relevant. Looking around today, it's like my generation never existed. Most of the musicians I listened to are dead, most of my movies and TV shows and childhood toys have been subsumed by reboots, and most people act as if "Baby Boomers" segued directly into "Millennials".

I didn't like being labeled or pigeonholed at the time, but there is something to be said for having a generational "identity". You feel a lot more invisible, even as an individual, when you belong to a smaller generation whose labels don't stay on the forefront.

Not to mention, from a practical standpoint of political clout... we'll probably wind up getting thrown under the bus by your bigger generation in our elder years, just as as we were by the boomers in our younger years.
