Perhaps it isn't trivial, but somehow Braintree does service me and Stripe does not. It has been like that for many years now, so I can only assume it is not a priority for Stripe, hence "doesn't want to do business with me".
File sharing, cross-device logs and encryption have been addressed in the last one-two years, pushed forward by Conversations on Android. However, getting that into other clients (e.g. on desktop/web) requires dedicated developers, and this is where XMPP currently lacks a little bit - not for lack of motivation but for lack of time.

That's not the concern. Python already has threads and race conditions (although the GIL means that the interpreter itself probably won't get corrupted while executing a piece of bytecode).

What python doesn't have is a C api for extensions that makes sense without a GIL. So ideally a correct threadsafe C extension will continue to be correct, which probably implies that a function called "PyEval_AcquireLock" will continue to provide similar guarantees. Which means that the process for utilizing more cores with pure python code in one process will probably be a gradual upgrade process.
All this is going to do is drive the Reichtards into their own tech ecosystem.

That said, the "Secure" indicator on Chrome is almost completely pointless from a user security standpoint. They would be potentially more secure with no indicator at all.
Well thanks for clearing that up for us!
As a programmer who is working on a language learning startup, I've thought alot about how and why these two disciplines are different. And I believe that learning a spoken language is actually much harder than learning a programming language for the following reasons:

* In order to strengthen your spoken language skills you must engage in what amounts to a performance in front of experts, akin to getting on stage as an raw amateur and performing jazz music to a crowd of experts. Programming can be learned in the quiet and safety of your home.

* Speaking a language is a synchronous activity, programming is asynchronous. You need full command over an enormous amount of new material when speaking a new language, whereas with programming you can always pause things in order to look something up.

* Learning to speak a language has a slow feedback loop compared to programming. You learn concept or word A, and by the time you first need to deploy that word or concept in the wild, it has been forgotten.

* Learning to speak a language has inconsistent feedback, with native speakers giving contradictory or unclear advice. Compilers, not so much.

* Speaking a language requires relearning muscoskeletal behavior that has been ingrained since birth.

* Speaking a new language badly is an act of courage that often penalizes introverted or perfectionist personality types. These types thrive when learning computer programming.

I could go on... :)
This clearly isn't the case, there are numerous successful developers that don't use the subscription momdel:

- In the photography space: Capture One Pro, DxO Optics Pro, ON1.

- In the video space: Avid, DaVinci Resolve, Sony Vegas.

- In the illustration space: Corel, Clip Studio Paint, Painttool SAI.

- In the audio space: ProTools, Ableton, ACID Pro.

- Nearly all video games.

- JetBrains, which has a novel subscription + purchase model where you can cancel your subscription and keep using the software.

I'd argue that the only case where you need a subscription model to stay afloat is when you don't add enough value that your users will be willing to purchase an upgrade.

As a counter anecdote, I've been using DDG for the last three years, at least. I really haven't missed Google at all for search. The only Google thing I can't find a replacement for is Maps.
I grew up with BASIC as a gateway drug, too (that's a great way to describe it on a number of levels!) and PICO-8 and the like are the closest modern equivalent I've seen to that kind of environment. Simple games with simple graphics plus the ability to drop into a code/sprite/etc editor with the press of a key.

The only real negative to me is that Lua, like most any modern language (i.e. ones that regularly use indentation), doesn't seem particularly well-suited to being edited in a very low resolution window. But it's still the closest I've seen to something that recaptures that "immediate" magic of ROM BASIC.
The summary on TIT FOR TAT is not complete:

when you’re playing for the long run it is better to be nice — you’ll make up any short-term losses with long-term gains.

It also depend on the population distribution. If everybody else is mean, being nice in long run still lose. So the optimal strategies in different culture are obviously different.

I think TIT FOR TAT is good because:
1. it give a gesture for cooperation at first
2. but respond immediately if the response is hostile.

There were some variations of TIT FOR TAT, like being nice for several rounds, then revenge later. Those variations didn't work well.

The random strategy(being nice or mean randomly) also doesn't work because it's difficult for others to predict your behavior.

The experiment was designed for long term survival, so it doesn't apply to these cases:

Being nice for all the time, then use the reputation to scoop the biggest gain in the last step.

So the experiment is very interesting and revealed a lot of points, but the simple takeaway of "being nice is good for long term" is just too limited.
HMS, HMAS (Australia), HMCS (Canada) are fairly well understood and widely used in the press.

As a Brit, we generally understand that USS George H.W. Bush is a big ship, not a person. This seems to be the same case from the other side of the Atlantic.
As a counter point, I grew up in India where there is still some malnutrition and I stole mangoes. I was definitely not poor and my family could afford mangoes and they did buy mangoes. I stole with a bunch of friends and it was the thrill of the act rather (getting chased by the owner) than the fruit which made us stole the mangoes.

We wrote our own server based on Python/Twisted (which has an XMPP implementation in Twisted Words). The Twisted implementation of XMPP is a bit outdated now, but it wasn't too terrible to work with. There may be more up to date libraries; in Python land aioxmpp seems nice.
I'd highly recommend the "singing against a drone" exercises in "the harmonic experience" by W.A. Mathieu. You can do them with an acoustic guitar, and they will improve your ear immensely. The first exercise is simple: singing exactly in tune with an open string.

You CAN handle it, but why should you have to? If it's possible to remove that barrier, then it absolutely should be removed. If the only answer to a problem is "use another language", then the language in question has a limitation that needs to be addressed.
Piracy is probably the main reason why software developers are finding more success with shipping subscription based software. Most (prospective) users will indeed not subscribe, but you will probably still catch a significant portion of users that would have pirated instead if they had the chance.

See what Spotify (and other streaming services) did to illegal downloading for instance.
It seems like we dodged a bullet for the most part in 07/08, though I know lots of people suffered, but it seems like it could have been far worse. But it does seem like the problems have been swept under the carpet with QE etc. When will the chickens come home to roost?
It’s very relevant for the older demographics that they serve. That same demographic also votes at a higher rate than the general population.
I don't think they're similar at all. It's an anecdote and all, but I am terrible at learning foreign languages. Something about the way my brain works. I lived in France for two years and married a French woman and I still couldn't get by for more than a day or two in that country on my own. Yet I picked up programming pretty quickly and consider myself good at it.

I think the best analogy is mathematics, in the sense that you're reasoning about abstract objects and solving puzzles. Unfortunately most people don't think about math that way so it probably doesn't help much.
>Do you, or anyone you know, still use OTA broadcasting?

I don't, only because I live in probably the one geographic area of the country where there's basically nothing available OTA. I do know a lot of people who do, though, in bigger cities. Typically it's for sports content and not everyday watching (football, NBA finals, so on).
Do you think you could write an interpreter?

If so, you can write an interpreter that "interprets" by spitting out a bunch of Java or Python (or whatever). That's a transpiler.

If you can write that, you just need to learn LLVM or x86 well enough to transpile to that.
Honestly, I think they are subsidizing the drivers. I think the play is to subsidize rides to prop up user counts until they can sell those users to a self-driving car fleet. (or own one themselves).

This would be my guess why a GM or ford (Can't remember which) would invest in someone like lyft.

There's nothing to crazy here outside of an app that pairs two GPS coordinates. Access to user pools for self driving car fleets is going to be big money though.

This is why uber could be in so much trouble over the otto/waymo thing. If they get barred from self driving cars, their competators will be able to offer the same or lower rates without having to pay drivers. Uber will have to continue to subsidize until then or loose mass user base.
I can't help but feel companies take advantage of people not reading credit card statements (and forgetting they signed up for subscriptions). I don't get email payment receipts from Dropbox or Creative Cloud, I have to go digging in their websites to find them. There seems to be less accountability to develop new features...

Lightroom for example, it's still the 2015 version. Adobe doesn't seem too interested in modernizing it beyond adding some sync features. If they weren't doing the subscription thing they'd need to focus on it to make it innovative.

#1 & #2: Consumer CPUs are now pushing 16 cores & 32 threads. Python is limited to ~1/20th of what a single box is capable of. That's a pretty big bottleneck.

#4: Even if you're just talking message passing sending a message between threads is in the 10s of nanoseconds while between processes is 10s of microseconds. That's a ~1000x slowdown on core communication. Given that CPU cores are not getting any faster, that's a pretty big hit to efficiency to take. Similarly simply moving data between processes is expensive, while moving data between threads is free.

Yes. Historically, it was very common for the stock response for bugs to be "It's fixed in the next version." There was a very strong incentive for companies to force buyers (especially those who weren't on maintenance contracts) to upgrade as frequently as possible. In part for supportability reasons, vendors still cut off support for old versions at some point, but from a revenue perspective, subscriptions get rid of much of the reason to force upgrades.
Thanks for the links; I wasn't aware ejabberd had an experimental MIX impementation! I switched to Prosody for my personal server a while back just because it was easier to setup/configure, but maybe it's time to look at ejabberd again (although I hate to run a full beam VM just for a single small server; as nice as beam is, it's still a lot of extra stuff to run on my tiny server).
From a pure strategy perspective, it's also quite brilliant. Without a real app store of its own, they don't have the directional data that the App Store or Google Play have.

It's also incredibly shady.
No. It's more like speaking the same language (English or whatever) aimed at a very specific audience. A bit similar to talking to someone who takes everything literally. Without room for interpretation.

In that sense, it's closer to a method of organizing thought than it is to another language.

Background: software engineer who speaks 5 languages.
Thankfully not that way in my part of the USA. While we have shops that stock imported goods, there is plenty of local made wares, and not just crafty trinkets. In theory, I could go to one of the local leather crafters and get a decent glove made. Still, as the article states, this is not always economically feasable always, but the community thrives when we pay the 'local tax'.
We've been selling B2B desktop software on a subscription basis since we started 5 years ago. Previously it was freeware.

One of the things that I like most is that entitling all your user base to your latest and greatest version software makes many users install the latest version, which is what also happens with freeware. The lack of need to support older versions greatly simplifies support.

Also a good thing of subscriptions is that because the monetary incentive of acquiring a new user is exactly the same as having an existing customer renew, you do not start adding features just for the sake of justifying a major paid upgrade.
Whilst I wish it was mulberry gin is not a common staple for the British public so I think this article is arguing for fun rather than subsistence.
The Mongols made no gains in Southern Song until the Song court was foolish enough to punish one of their generals for holding off the Mongol invasion, at which point he defected to the Mongols. Even then, it still took a years-long siege by a general who knew all of the weaknesses in the Song defenses to take the city.

In addition, even a cursory reading of the Mongol Invasion of Southern Song will show that the Song dynasty maintained few castles; at the time of the Mongol invasion...it had 3. This meant the Mongols could capture the kingdom with a handful of simultaneous sustained sieges. In contrast, at this time, there were hundreds of castles in Europe, most built to withstand years-long sieges, and most within reinforcement range of their neighbors.

Furthermore, Western Europe back then was heavily forested. Today, there are few such dense forests in Europe, but the most comparable visual is probably the thick African jungles you see in Hollywood films. Traversing this wilderness would have been possible but difficult for small groups. For an army of mounted horsemen, it would have been extremely difficult. For an army of horsemen each requiring multiple horses, it would have been effectively impossible.

Combining the lack of grazing pasture for the horses, the wild forests preventing the Mongols from utilizing their hit-and-run tactics to any meaningful effect, and the necessity to carry out thousands of sieges and blockades against a well-fed and entrenched enemy, the Mongols had no chance to invade Western Europe.

I refuse to pay a subscription for software. If you want recurring money from me, sell new versions that have things I want. (I do not buy new versions of Microsoft Office, because repainting the same thing and adding features I don't use anyways isn't worth money to me.)

Mandating that my software stops working unless I pay more for it is a surefire way to make me go somewhere else for software.

I used to buy Adobe Photoshop, and have since moved to Affinity Photo ($50, one-time, does everything I used Photoshop for) since they moved to subscription-only. I outright will never have "Office 365", and strongly recommend to anyone who asks to buy the full retail editions instead. If Microsoft ever switches to 365-only, no big deal, open source software is more than adequate in this area.
XMPP: Captain Obvious edition

Improving UX helps somewhat but how do you convince users when most have unlimited texts with their plan and Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Viber, Telegram, Signal... to choose from?

I love the federation. I love the JID (so much better than a phone number). I love the handling of multiple clients connected to the same account. But it didn't take. Even my tech friends ditched it. IRC held strong against all of the above and even Slack to some extent but XMPP just faded away.

Signal has a gif search and SMS/MMS fallback. What does XMPP offer to normies?
It's not a good idea for a kid to play just one sport. It can lead to injury and burnout. You have pitchers blowing out elbows in high school or even younger because they have played baseball year round since they were 6. Kids should play a variety of seasonal sports and not just one.

It is parents with unrealistic visions of scholarships or professional careers who push young kids to play a single sport year round.

Have any games development studio attempted a subscription model to games development and release? Not promoting the idea, wondering if it's been considered. Some popular studios with a good track record could certainly entertain the idea.
Combining a few other answers, I'd say it's a lot like writing a goosebumps (choose your own adventure) book in another language.

While I do like the analogy of writing instructions for someone who is very dumb, that analogy doesn't capture the different paths of execution that a program can take.
Yeah, too bad most companies only value business users tho.
I think it's more like learning to express yourself in a different style, rather than learning an entirely different language.

The style we are accustomed to allows for an interlocutor with significant ability to fill in the gaps in what you've said or written. To read appropriate context and subtext into your words and interpret them meaningfully despite ambiguity.

The style we must learn when programming is to remove all possible ambiguity and subtext, and explicitly provide a context (arguments, scope, closure, environment, etc.) for evaluation.

When we learn a new language we learn new vocabulary and alternate syntax but we still express ourself in the same style. When we learn a new style we must unlearn and relearn all of our assumptions about how language is interpreted. That's what learning programming is like.

> On the Open Source Linux OpenGL drivers (but not the proprietary ones), it is competitive with the 1080Ti at considerably lower MSRP

Yaaay! Really, that's cool but it's a negligible fraction of the market. Unless Linux gaming becomes a market force overnight, it won't matter a lot, I think.

> Power to performance ratios are also not well shown with the current shipping proprietary driver

I doubt they can close the large power gap that the initial benchmarks show (compared to the 1080 and esp. 1070), but I'm hoping the power margin will get narrower and a bit of performance increase might compensate too.

Indeed, I am dampening my expectations, I'm most hopeful that in the high-end GPGPU compute arena they might not be too late and will provide enough Perf/W/buck to gain traction.
When it comes to code, English speakers like to talk about how good, pure, or expressive a code language is. For example, ask people up in here to describe PHP and you'll get bile. Ask them to talk about Closure and you'll get accolades. Usually summarized as "because the language is bad the result will be bad"

...the irony is that the discussion will be in English. One of the worlds most inconsistent, awkward, written languages. [1] Further more, most code is English. Example: it's usually "if/else" not "si/sinon" or "と/又は"

IMHO I don't think the analogy holds. However, I don't know of a better way to describe it.

PS: I'm bilingual (French/English)
