Well, yes, because an accent generally associated with the Northeast and Midwest became "Network Standard." The Wikipedia article on the topic is quite good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_American

It's true that this accent generally lacks the strong regionalisms that some other US accents do. But it's mostly still an outgrowth of a general region even if its use is cultivated more widely.
He was actually found not guilty of that charge. The charges he was found guilty related to him lying to investors when he lost their money in a hedge fund he operated. According to the jury, he felt bad about this and made them whole by paying them back in stock. All said and done--everyone made money, including some his accusers who made 10x their original investment.
I agree and apologize for not being clearer.

What I was getting at is that as a Type within a type system and independent of a particular language, it is not clear what the words "string type" mean. As you point out, in C, the string type is an abstraction over a contiguous memory block and allows addressing by bytes -- Addressing blocks of memory by bytes is often convenient when processing the values stored in the block with a state machine.

UTF-8 strings exist because the string type as an abstraction over bytes fed into a state machine became conflated with the idea that strings had an intrinsic relationship to human readable text.

Erlang is a programming language that does not conflate strings with human readable text. Perl6 is a language that handles human readable text better than average.

>The 50% figure is from memory, and upon further reflection is probably not quite right, so take it with a grain of salt.

You're actually underestimating. Mars has an atmosphere, so spacecraft can use aerobraking to significantly reduce the delta-v required to get there. The moon has no such benefit — propulsion is required all the way to the surface.

The advantage of the moon, of course, is that it's not limited to transfer windows every two years. If there's an emergency or resupply is needed (or you just want to expand the mission), another lander can be sent at any time. (With some restrictions, like hitting your desired landing spot and making sure the sun wasn't in the Apollo crews' eyes at landing. But regardless, no longer than 28 days between windows.)
Basically all decentralised systems share the same flaw. You have to download the entire dataset or use an index for every possible query which means the index will be larger than the data itself.

The issue is not that "the web is over complicated". The bigger issue is that people are allowing themselves to be brainwashed into thinking that everything is a "web application". Some sites offer benefits as web applications; GMail and Pivotal Tracker come to mind right away as good examples. Other websites like CNN should not be applications and would do end users a disservice by over-complicating things by making them JavaScript based.

One of the trends I'm seeing is that a lot of developers once they have built one web site as a SPA they seem to start thinking everything should be built this way. More consideration should be given to deciding which is appropriate.

It's a good question! It's in fact such a good question that the reproducible builds folks had to draft a solution for it: the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH specification. Reproducible builds read the timestamp of the last debian/changelog entry (you can imagine the last git commit or something, for non-Debian packages) and pass it through to the build system, so that the "current" time in tarballs etc. is actually the time of the changelog entry.

Oh, this fork isn't in earnest. It's being overhyped because it's a select few people throwing a tantrum about ableism in the absence of any actual malice. There's no actual instability in the platform itself this time.
It's probably not what you want to hear, but there's a "I get it" moment I reached at one point, where my intuition just all of a sudden was able to quickly pin point all my errors. There's a lot of these moments in Clojure. There's one for reading the code, one day you wake up and you don't see the parenthesis anymore. There's one for prefix notation. There's one for recursion, where you suddenly figure out how to convert any loops to it. There's one for the documentation, it goes from not making sense to perfectly explaning how each function works concisely and clearly. And there's one for error messages and debugging. There might be more.

So, the community and core team is aware of the learning curve hump, and always trying to improve it, but after you get over the learning hump, the challenges of debuging almost go away, and it becomes equal to any other language. At least it did for me, and it was almost an epiphany.
Honestly, I don't understand why the automobile industry doesn't learn from the airline industry. Airplanes have worked out how to balance autopilot capabilities with the need for pilots to remain engaged and attentive for years. Simply implement a Drive-By-Wire, similar to Airbus' Fly-By-Wire systems. A driver's inputs to the controls would still be required, but the autonomous systems could prevent or limit certain actions (such as accelerating into a stopped vehicle or swerving off the road).
Compile-time bloat and runtime bloat are not equivalent. Runtime bloat inflicts pain upon users and therefore is usually worse.
Well hey, I'm annoyed by people who think their delusions of what something could be is the same thing as reality. I'm a huge fan of crypto, but the OP is correct about what it currently is and who's mostly using it. Demanding evidence of people's experience with things is just a cheap cop out to avoid discussion. Anyone involved in the space knows the value is largely speculation driven at this point and if you need that proven to you, then you don't know the tech or the community well enough to be conversing about it.

Clever use of white space is vital to a good design.

That being said, "white spaces" are not supposed to always be the color white. Interfaces are not supposed to always be a sea of nothingness either.

That's simply bad minimalistic designs you are describing.

Even a skeuomorphic design filled with textures and gradients require good use of white space and a minimalist approach to be a proper UI. Function over form should remain true no matter the "skin" of your user interface.
Weird Python Integers
I think most of what you share is the effort needed to learn the language.

Also, it 'helps' if both server and client are single-threaded, because then, you can use similar solutions on both server and client (even if they sometimes aren't the most pleasant approach for solving your domain)

I hope that Web Assembly will take of and get a decent interface to the DOM, allowing developers to pick other languages in the role that JavaScript now has.
Ever hear of deer? We eat them, too, and even domestic ag as well. They also aren't "needed" and even tend to cause environmental issues of their own in the wild in certain areas. As expected, they also are recreationally hunted and regulated as such in each state that has a reasonable population of deer.

So, in short, no, I don't think they'd go away or become extinct, not in the slightest. Declining numbers of them over time? Probably but extinct? No way.
Why not?

There's a norm of competence in airline pilots. We can't say the same for automobile drivers.
I agree that level 2 isn't an ideal position, but it has also proven to be better than human drivers in preventing fatalities. In all the miles that Tesla's level 2 cars have driven there has been what 1 fatality? In that instance there was the exact question of responsibility that you suggested, but that still seems preferable to the status quo if lives are saved.

I talked to a pilot once who asserted that this is far from settled in aviation: he described the Boeing way, and the Airbus way, as two separate schools of thought. Boeing's systems keep the humans in the loop more at the expense of the autonomous systems, Airbus does the opposite. Empirically, it doesn't seem to make a difference with regards to safety outcomes.

Off topic but this reminds me of the New riddle of induction [1]. This is philosophical argument about predicates (i.e. properties that things have that are either true or false) and what it means to use induction to confirm such predicates. An example used in the paper is determining that all emeralds are green. It turns out to be quite a riddle.

I absolutely disagree. It can't be better than humans. It needs to be flawless. Any problems where people get killed will delay public acceptance of the technology by decades, even if "statistically it's safer than humans". People don't give a damn about statistics, they give a damn about tabloids shouting "self driving cars kill another innocent person!!!". We literally can't afford that.
Other companies are also shipping Level-2 systems. US law says that the driver has responsibility for accidents with a Level 2 system. And Tesla shows constant reminders to drivers.

10 TSC members voted. It seems there were 13.
Biggest news buried at the end. It says that several engineers have quit since October 2016 (including the head of autopilot) when Tesla started selling "fully autonomous driving" hardware upgrade packages. Says the engineers don't agree the hardware is capable of supporting this and that it was ultimately a marketing decision.
I just ordered a Model S with Autopilot, and as I've been reading the comments on the various Tesla forums, I'm not sure I'm ever going to use it. Some of the stories are honestly terrifying (sudden deceleration on the highway, swerving into other lanes, etc).
This is a great first step. Reminds me of when Microsoft started shipping Windows with a firewall with XP.
In fairness to Tesla that is probably why they are pushing for level 4/5 so hard. It's true that if level 2 drives perfectly for a month, yet a alone a year, the human backup system is going to degrade markedly. We're not there yet, but it's coming.

That's got to open up some liability questions. You can bet when people die it will be tested in court. You could make a case that Tesla's going to be liable for many level 2 accidents in the long run anyway, so might as well go all in ASAP.
If 90% of people shown a car mention the blueness of the car unprompted, it's likely to be extremely blue.

I usually start by focusing past the plane of the image, wait until the 3D effect emerges, then hold onto the effect while focusing on the image itself. That last part "clears the blurriness" for me, and I can see the texture of the image clearly while also seeing the 3D structure.

Well, the article is focused on consumer web design. It appears to be someone thinking out loud and coming up with some fairly standard advice.

I agree an information-dense approach is warranted when people re-visit a site many times-- what you would call professional/industry design? But even then, the minimalist principles are still valid. You don't want to clutter with unnecessary stuff, but you _MAY_ just have more stuff.

Do you have a compelling example of effective non-minimalist web design?

Airline pilots are professionals, car drivers are just trying to get somewhere... paying attention isn't their full-time job.

Since we're finally getting some refutations to Self-Driving Hype, let me drop some quotes here:

“I tell adult audiences not to expect it in their lifetimes. And I say the same thing to students”

"Merely dealing with lighting conditions, weather conditions, and traffic conditions is immensely complicated. The software requirements are extremely daunting. Nobody even has the ability to verify and validate the software. I estimate that the challenge of fully automated cars is 10 orders of magnitude more complicated than [fully automated] commercial aviation."

- Steve Shladover, transportation researcher at the University of California, Berkeley

http://www.automobilemag.com/news/the-hurdles-facing-autonom...

"With autonomous cars, you see these videos from Google and Uber showing a car driving around, but people have not taken it past 80 percent. It's one of those problems where it's easy to get to the first 80 percent, but it's incredibly difficult to solve the last 20 percent. If you have a good GPS, nicely marked roads like in California, and nice weather without snow or rain, it's actually not that hard. But guess what? To solve the real problem, for you or me to buy a car that can drive autonomously from point A to point B—it's not even close. There are fundamental problems that need to be solved."

- Herman Herman, director of the Carnegie-Mellon University Robotics Institute

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/d7y49y/robotics-l...

"While I enthusiastically support the research, development, and testing of self-driving cars, as human limitations and the propensity for distraction are real threats on the road, I am decidedly less optimistic about what I perceive to be a rush to field systems that are absolutely not ready for widespread deployment, and certainly not ready for humans to be completely taken out of the driver’s seat."
