At the risk of sounding like a cranky old codger, I'd like to point a couple of things out. If all you have are "plug and play code monkeys", all you'll have is shitty software. The fact that shitty software is "enough" for so many businesses is just another symptom of the biggest problem with our society: we optimize for profit and damn everything else.
That's all you need? An invoice? I don't need to form a company or send you tax forms? I can make an invoice rather easily in LaTeX.

When I lived in San Francisco, I paid for a laundry service. Picked up clothes and dropped them off a few days later.

IIRC the Campaign Zero people were talking about this right at the start.

Yes they have AFAIK too..

I'm not sure that people (including these orgs) realize that body cams without the oversight may be worse than having no body cams. To pick one example they highlight NJ law A2500 (http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2014/Bills/A2500/2280_I1.HTM) to highlight as a win for their policies but looking at the law's text it basically seems to say police cars used primarily for traffic violations will be equipped with cameras and DUI fees will be increased to help fund them. I have no idea if there is any existing regulation on the officer's use of those cameras.
I wonder how the graph would look if you included police violence?

If the cartel is filling the void (granted the things they enforce are different) then you may as well make it an equal comparison.

I really wonder how the US graph would look if you included people killed by police.
If you enjoy programming then I suggest you keep it as a hobby rather than pursuing a career. As a developer you have no say and get zero respect and for all the talk about us commanding big salaries, well, not everyone lives in SV and my cousin who is a truck drivers makes three times what I do.

It's hard to believe he can say that with a straight face. Is he supposed to advise on topics he understands that the government doesn't or is he supposed to be a 'yes man'?
Sorry for not bringing anything of value to the discussion but: Heck. Yes! I love Firefox for going in this direction. The politics of embracing Chrome's extension APIs and standardising upon them must have been astounding.

I can't wait to port my extension to Firefox. Firefox is seeming like a more and more viable option to Chrome.

So, Bitcoin ABC (Cash) is three blocks behind the other nodes, but no chain split has been detected. What’s up with that?

Did the block three blocks ago cause a fork? Are we just waiting for someone to mine a Bitcoin Cash block on top of this block and then there’ll be a fork?

That has very little to do with the rational choice model. Rational choice agrees that people don't act on perfect information. It also agrees that even when given good information, individuals don't necessarily believe it. All RCT really boils down to is the fairly uncontroversial statement that people act in accordance with their actual preferences (even if their preferences should be different, the actions are not well-calculated to achieve their goals, or they say they have different preferences).

honestly myself i was surprised by how easily and relatively fast microsoft abandoned silverlight, i really liked their rad tool, lightswitch , but it seems it was strongly coupled to silverlight, and got abandoned soon after it was announced that silverlight will not be further developed

Good luck finding someone to take the other side of that trade
Makes me think that laws like this should be more like programming (for humans) and easily reverted when they are found to cause bugs in behavior but somehow laws have to be fixed with new bills on top of the old.

The law books are the biggest bunch of out of date legacy code that nobody understands apart from a few overpaid experts and is in need of a massive refactoring.

> The pricing is just out of this wolrd. You get the impression that they try to squeeze every last penny out of their existing user base.

I used to think that about Delphi, various commercial Lisp implementations, etc. But after some time I've changed my view a little.

My change is because I realized that Delphi had its chance, and kept on trying as the chance slipped away. No amount of competitive pricing today is going to make a resurgence of Delphi happen. That door is closed, for all practical purposes.

The alternative is to offer products and support in a sustainable way and given the small number of people using Delphi professionally today, that means charging somewhat hefty amounts. IOW, their target market is business that has Delphi products that are worthwhile to maintain. In order to stay in business and provide service they have shed casual users.

How so? How would having a gun in a cupboard or somewhere help you in a situation like this? Once you are at gunpoint it's game over, regardless of gun control. It's easy to imagine this is hollywood where the hero easily escapes from gunpoint with kung fu ninja skills while the evil mastermind explains the master plan but that isn't a realistic scenario.

Slapping a pair of $1-$3/load machines in the basement of a 8-unit building is easy money for landlords and they get to say that there's "laundry in building" and tack a couple hundred bucks onto the rend even if there's no practical way for all those people to make use of it.
What I've Learned So Far as a Programmer
Honestly, being stopped on the street and talked to isn't so bad if they're not trying to sell you something. The only reason I ever go out is to talk to people and almost everyone (myself included) is afraid to do it. I've come to enjoy the short conversations with the Jehovah's witnesses, the Hindus and so on even though I'll probably never believe most of what they're saying.
Maybe I missed it in the article, but why would P9 be at a 30 degree angle from all the other planets. Are they saying that what we know of how solar systems collapses to the nearly the same plane is wrong?

What you say makes sense, but the people involved didn't even attempt to make me aware of the differences in the concise way you just did. And when I asked about the difference in final result, pain, and time, there was no straight answer. It was just, "This is what I do. I can't tell you about the other thing."
To me you're kind of misusing the term scam. To me it's no more of a scam than buying a stock at the wrong time or working for a startup with options or any affiliate program. A lot of the time the products are really good at first they're usually hard to sell in retail and then usually the market catches up at the retail level and the product becomes a commodity. And at the same time the market saturates with reps and it becomes a bad opportunity.

I've been working with this crate for a while, and use https://crates.io/crates/httparse with it, it works pretty well.
The majority of tools for native apps desktops and mobile OSes (minus deployment) still comes close to Delphi.

Now for the web, nevermind.
I mean knowing the memory and runtime costs of basic data structures like binary trees, linked lists, hash tables and arrays along with typical algorithms applied to them like insertion, removal and searching. Implementing each of those data structures (naively at least) shouldn't be challenging if you understand how they work.

Red-black trees however are notoriously fiddly to implement; just knowing they exist is good enough in my opinion and you'd likely never have to implement anything remotely similar. I'm not advocating memorising implementation details but learning general concepts.

Again, I'm not saying you should be writing your own version of these data structures but knowing they exist and recognising when you're implementing something that fits their mould is helpful.
Google maps is a disaster.

It actualy surpassed Delphi in some ways. You can develop native programs on non x86 platforms. The IDE and compiler installs and runs fine on the Raspberry/Nano/Orange PI boards, and others, so if you want to write a GUI to view sensors and actuators status, or maybe a display for a homemade KSP controller, the tools are there already. Free both as in beer and speech.

Happy to answer any questions.
Unfortunately, cherry-picking as that video does rarely informs or advances the debate productively. For a lot of the issues it mentions, the situation as it was 10/20/30 years ago when the quoted comments were made is very different in 2017. Here are some specific examples:

CFP and particularly CAP have become rather controversial.

The UK hasn't done the majority of its international trade with the EU for a while. Both EU and non-EU trade have been growing, but the gap has also been widening.

The European Parliament has been strengthened to a degree, particularly since the Lisbon Treaty. However, if you look at for example the secretive TTIP negotiations, transparency remains a concern for the EU administration as a whole. Likewise, the real power still mostly rests with the Commission, which in practice remains mostly unaccountable.

EU regulations in growing fields like technology and creative industries are excessive and do cause real problems, particularly for smaller businesses.

In short, the answer to your video's question "Dear UK, Why Are You Leaving the EU?" is probably "Because the situation changed and the case for remaining wasn't enough to convince our voters any more".

(My standard disclaimer applies to this and all my comments in today's discussion: I'm just pointing out counter-arguments from the other side in the interests of interesting and informed debate. This should not be taken as a personal position on Brexit or the EU as a whole, nor as a claim that there aren't also valid points on the other side.)
The book is now out of print, and hard to come by. Last time I checked, it was going for over $200 on ebay.
You chose the wrong word when you said "socialism". Socialism is a spectrum. Many aspects of the US are socialist. Scandinavia has implemented notably socialist policies. When was the last time they 'compromised fundamental property rights'?

I think you're arguing against a certain type of authoritarianism.

Safari has a different API that is also very limited compared to Chrome/FF.

I recently tried to port my Chrome extension to Safari (which I actually use as my main browser) and failed because of the lack of many necessary calls like a check for idle or if the app is in focus.

This is a very SF-centric view of the US.

I highly doubt the causation goes in this direction. I think it's just a matter of culture. People in the US litter way more than people do in Japan, for example. I agree with the other poster that it's really just a small minority, maybe even less than 1%, of Americans that just ruin public facilities for everyone. But this minority does exist.

You could argue that we are just using coded language for homeless people, which often is more of a combination of mental illness or substance abuse problems and abject poverty. But I think there are plenty of people that ruin public services aside from the homeless. Even as a lifeguard of private pools, I've had to deal with large amounts of litter, abandoned trash, and feces/urine on regular bases.

> Meb Keflezghi, winner of both the Boston and New York marathon, that he's not built to run. He's a prime example of a heel striker [1], though slightly less prominent in his later years.

Trained hard and overcame the limitation for a time? I did say there are exceptions.

> More generally, in [2], a study of elite level runners in the half marathon, found that at the 15km point the top 50 was comprised of 62% rear-foot strikers, 36% mid-foot, and 2.0% fore-foot strikers.

Reflects that heel-strikers are more common.

From a quick search:

1,991 runners were classified by foot-strike pattern, revealing a heel-strike prevalence of 93.67% (n=1,865). A significant difference between foot-strike classification and performance was found using a Kruskal-Wallis test (p < 0.0001), with more elite performers being less likely to heel-strike.

That's because Firefox's new WebExtensions API is based off Chrome's, not because of any formal standard.

This standard seems to be intended to formalize a lot of the stuff Chrome does so that other browsers can follow a common _standard_ instead of just being stuck imitating what Chrome does.
France? Maybe we've come full circle, and it's time for it to lead a second Enlightenment.

And to be accurate, I believe Trump's current position is "global warming is happening, caused by humans, but Paris unfairly advantages other nations over the US."

Which is how all climate agreements look when you're trying to get buy in from developing economies... but at least it's better than hoaxism.

I find unfortunate to see such trivialization of dev work from outside. They had to deal with years of legacy code piling up, and this was seriously impeding the modernization of Firefox.
I'm not against socialism but this particular form of it was basically handing out money for nothing. In short term the poor gain a bit but it does not do much for the economy in the long term.

Luckily there's a neoliberal right wing government ready to take over and run the country into the ground with a bunch of new dogmas, like Argentina went from Kirchner to Macri.
Silverlight, like XNA, were victims of the usual WinDev vs DevTools issues.

Like everything in UK law it is interpretation (of a police officer and a judge and your defense) and any given circumstance. If you sleep in the back of a camper van with the key in the glove box and the doors locked a police officer would be hard pushed to convict you of attempting to drive. Don't freak out just yet. Now go out of the vehicle and stand still for a while on a dark night. You are now loitering with intent (to burglarize perhaps). Now put a reflective jacket on over your dark hoodie; you are now absolved of suspicion. Get back in the camper van and have a peaceful 40. Just about anything is illegal with the wrong attitude. In the UK, my experience has been to just talk to the police and be honest, they're usually quite smart.
