The notation in the GP is Haskell-ish type notation, which is certainly different to the majority of languages out there today, but it's actually fairly simple (difficult to learn, but simple).

Quick glossary:

:: Defines a new function signature. The left hand side is the function name, and the right hand side is the signature.
a -> b A function which converts something of type a to type b
m a A generic m of type a. In Java/C# this might be written as m<a>. eg, `Array String` means an array of string elements, and might be written in C# as Array<String>.

Types starting with a lowercase letter (m, a, b) generally mean the type is generic - as in the function will take any type.

It might be helpful to define a function you already know:

string_to_int :: String -> Int

Or, for changing an Array of something to an Array of something else:

map :: (a -> b) -> Array a -> Array b

Here, we're defining a function that:

1. Takes a function that converts an 'a' to a 'b' (a -> b)
2. Takes an array of 'a'
3. Returns an array of 'b'

Notice that 'a' and 'b' can be anything! Since the first parameter* is a function that handles the conversion from a to b, the map function actually doesn't need to know what type a and b are.

Let's say we pass in the `string_to_int` as the first parameter, now the type checker will actually infer the following function type:

map :: (String -> Int) -> Array String -> Array Int

* Haskell functions actually only ever have one parameter, it uses Currying to accept multiple arguments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying

I think the sentiments of Jerome Lejeune are insightful here. When he discovered the concept of genetic disease he eventually saw that the medical community was shifting away from figuring out healing therapies for these ailments and pivoted to a non-medical populational euthanasia approach. He's supposed to have journaled or something to his wife about how he felt like he lost his Nobel prize by chastizing some medical board or some committee or something about turning from a committee of health to one of death or something to that effect.

It's interesting because if you essentially condemn a disease as non-treatable then you'll naturally not exert the resources to discover cures and the root cause will never be directly addressed.
Both ways of looking at it are problematic.

The way you should look at it: Take your savings. If you suddenly could get no income, no welfare, etc: How many months/years can you maintain your current standard of living before you run out of money?

Being paid more in absolute, and even saving more in absolute, doesn't guarantee a longer time till you go broke. It's the ratio of your savings to the monthly cost of living.

I could move to the Bay area and get paid enough to save, say, $5K more per year than I do now, I'm still in worse shape because of the COL. Effectively, even though I'm saving more in absolute terms, I'll not be able to retire as early as I can now.

The ability of tech mega-corps to throw their weight around and decide which services prevail and which ones don't is pretty impressive.

Given the breakneck speed of no-platforming, I fully expect to see (within the next three months) Google's DNS to refuse to resolve sites on an ideological blacklist, and then various ISPs will follow suit. After all, "it's their own private service."
Antagonistic headline.

The article does a pretty good job of answering the question: Linux is bloated, isn't real time, and has IP issues.
True. I'd also point out that bad but rare events can potentially have more impact than frequent good events. It all depends on how the expected value turns out, as many gamblers and traders have discovered the hard way.

I've worked for years in both France and the US, and I feel like it's been a useful simplification that the French start not trusting you until they do, whereas Americans will start trusting you until they don't.

I've heard it described that the French have the latin attitude (shared with Spain and Italy, not with Germany or England), and it's a fun enough explanation that I'm holding on to it :)

But I didn't say that "people evince childishness regardless of age".

I specifically said _jealousy_ is a trait attributed to humans as a flaw.

That has nothing to do with it being childishness or not. Otherwise it would be a trait somehow eliminated after childhood for a majority of adults, which it isn't since all of us (adults) experience it.

Depends on the laptop, my new Thinkpad (T470P) has a processor with a TDP of 45W (limited to 35W) plus the screen.

Theoretically if I pegged it out with the screen on max brightness I'd get about 90 minutes out the battery (which is about what linux estimated running stress-ng) in reality depending on what I'm doing I get 5-6 hours and if it's light surfing on an evening over 7. Currently it's saying 3 hours 58 minutes @33% charge, I'm actually surprised how long it lasts given I didn't expect it to but looking at powertop it spends a good chunk of it's time running at about half it's top clock rate and it rarely bursts.

Though to be fair I didn't buy this laptop for it's battery life (I can swap those out if needed) or weight (not that it's excessive) but because it sat on a local maxima for what I wanted (fast quad core with HT, relatively light, relatively good battery life).

The GF's little Asus regularly goes over 10 hours with her using it for the usual net stuff and it's got a tiny battery, it's a cracking little machine but Intellij would wreck it.

I'm 100% okay with criticism about things and think it's a good when people voice it, but this is not based in reality.

It's not perfect - we are a large, multinational corporation with the same problems in communication across organizations as any large, multinational corporation - but calling the relationship hostile is misleading, harmful to the F# community, harmful to those of us who work on F#, and harmful to F# growth. I really don't appreciate spreading this sort of stuff.
While you're not wrong, it wouldn't require throwing out 8-bit MCU support to bring CAN into this century. In particular, replacing the CAN CRC with a short auth tag would not be beyond the capability of many small MCUs at low speeds (10s of messages/s).
Not just American consumers mind you. EasyJet and RyanAir aren't American inventions.
I understand. Basically your banks and financial insurers upgraded their system, and the retail stores followed suit by modernizing their machines.

Not happening in my country. The general attitude one could extract from the glacial pace of upgrading around here is "well, it works right? why would we spend money on touching anything?". This, in addition to pretty experienced and fast cashiers leaves me with the opposite impression you described.

Back to Carlin's quote -- are the CCs really working against your interests (pun half-intended)? I heard about the mythical 18% extra on small purchases several times. Is that actually true? Are you actually gonna get $1.18 off of your CC if you buy something for $1.00?

Those are two different things, I think. Assuming positive intent doesn't say anything about giving people chances. It just means that, when someone does something, you should assume that they didn't do it to be malicious. Multiple instances of something means that they're either incapable of doing what's been asked or they have now shown/proven that their intent wasn't actually positive and your assumption was wrong.
I love the design of Product Graveyard! Personally, I would’ve gone with darker colors, seeing as it fits the whole “graveyard” theme.

One nitpick: isn’t it inefficient to generate a unique banner image for every dead product? Each one is largely the same, except for the product logo being in the center. Would help to remove these banners or compress them so pages load faster on mobile.
Great job, this is a fun concept that is well executed.

This kind of FBI involvement predates DHS, and has been continued in part because of the way the programs evolved.

Much of the US critical infrastructure is owned and operated by private industry. For that reason, a collaboration between the FBI and private industry was formed in 1996, called Infragard [0]. Today, there are chapters in each of various regions of the US, each with an FBI coordinator who facilitates the communication between feds and local industry.

I largely agree, but wanted to add a few data points about power usage.

5.5 Watts:

My Dell XPS13 with a bunch of browser/slack/java processes on Linux. (it's below 4W at idle)

40 Watts:

My 6-year old Xeon E3-1230 (v1) with 14TiB usable ZFS and 32GB of ECC RAM.

Also, if you're really going for very low power, I'd suggest an RPi Zero W instead of some Android phone. $10 @ MicroCenter and you can install pretty much anything your heart desires from standard Raspbian repos. I can't even measure it's wattage at the outlet with my power meter.
uBlock Origin definitely does. I thought there might have been a downside to using multiple adblockers...is that not the case?
Antifa's name and flag come from 1930s Germany, a group called Antifaschistische Aktion, a communist paramilitary organization patterned on the Bolsheviks.

Would it need to? If your test ever came back postive, you'd go into the doctor, presumably retest to confirm, and then start appropriate treatment, regardless of how fast-growing the discovered cancer was.

To be clear: I'm not arguing, just genuinely curious as this isn't a subject I know much about.
> was [care] taken to adjust for shorter (and hence cheaper) flights?

The graph shows per-mile costs of flying [1].

If we measure same-route costs, we find "in the 50s, a flight from Chicago to Phoenix could cost $138 round-trip — that’s $1,168 when adjusted for" 2014 prices [2]. A quick Kayak search shows that route now flies for as little at $65 on Frontier or about $120 on e.g. United. That's a 95% price reduction at the lowest tier.

(A P-class full-fare ticket on Delta is about $500. Given $138 in 1955 bought as much as $1,265 today [3], that's still a 60% real price reduction.)

> I think they're saying that if you understand how SEPOS works, you can trace data and secrets through it.

Fair point actually, that was a bit careless for them to add.

Regarding SEP bounty: Apple offers $100,000 just for accessing the contents. Selling it as a capability would require additional low level exploits to actually interface with SEP in order to actually exploit it, so you could do per-phone deals if you have that type of vulnerability on hand, but I am not so sure many folks do. iBoot and friends (along with everything else pre-lockscreen) are reasonably secure these days.

It worked the other way round too. You could overwrite the screen buffer of anyone on the network. Usually with something offensive. Sun even provided a command to do it. This was hilarious in 1989.
I was surprised at the reaction of my manager when I resigned from my first big kid job. I expected him to be supportive and happy for me as he had always been. Instead he seemed personally insulted as if I had betrayed him.

It was the right move for my career objectively but there seemed to be some resentment that I was "just in it for the money". Working a dead-end data analyst job at a company that is actively shipping its technical talent offshore was (and still is) not my idea of an attractive career path.
I don't think that's an informative question, because the answer is "yes."

Which cases? For software I sell, I am responsible.

For software I write as a contractor/consultant, it depends on the contract. After all, I'm not going to maintain it forever, for free.

For the two week contract I said I would fix things for 3 months [0], if it was something I should have caught during development. I don't recall them asking for any changes, but like I said, we did a code review at the end to get the two local people up to speed with what it does, and they are good people. The project used a combination of technologies which they hadn't used before.

The "yet another project" was a series of work orders across 18 months, where I did two major rewrites to handle new capabilities. Someone local was also reviewing the code, doing validation, and making a few patches. Nearly all of it was me, including maintence and code changes. I've done several projects for that company for about 5 years.

Again, I'll fix errors that should have been caught during development. On that last project, which finished in February or so, there was a bug report two weeks ago which I investigated and suggested two possible fixes. They chose one and implemented it themselves.

I started programming in 1983 and got my first full-time job in the IT industry in 1995. I didn't try TDD until around 2007 or so. Our local programming user's group does code katas. The organizer is an Agile/XP/TDD facilitator and testing advocate, so I've also learned and had practice that way. Also, she was the project lead for a project where I was involved as a contractor, so when we pair programmed [1] we did it as TDD.

[0] Their standard contract said 2 years, which I said was extreme for a two week contract, but if they wanted that then I would adjust my rates accordingly. We settled on 3 months.

[1] This wasn't often. I mostly worked on a back-end server component, while she worked on front-end and middleware.
