Many things are at play here: 1) the interviewer has a calm and very open demeanor. 2) He is able to build rapport with that person (first URL video) quite quickly. 3) The interviewer obviously has an 'advantage' because they have thought about the subject and are focused on it, which is not the case for the interviewee being 'ambushed'.

I think given some time and thought that interviewee would be better able to gather his thoughts and better articulate them.

Quite simply, taking the time and listening to what other people are saying and really giving their opinion some importance goes a long way into both parties learning something new, without having to 'persuade' them of anything.

Do you expect the rich of society to willingly just distribute their wealth? A powerful state would be necessary for anything like that to occur. And every single time this has been tried the state takes a huge grab at power and refuses to let go. This isn't because "REAL Communism" hasn't been tried, many people with their idea of what Real Communism is have tried it in many countries all with significant differences in their culture and power structure, but it all ends up the same.
I don't describe cryptocurrency as a "scam" or "greed". Indeed, I find the whole subject fascinating.

But, as to where skepticism comes from -- these so-called "coins" have been conjured out of thin air, are not backed up by anything or anyone, and have no intrinsic value. And yet somehow they have become worth over $100 billion.

Perhaps one or more cryptocurrencies will indeed emerge as a long-term store of value. But I think that skepticism is a quite natural reaction.

I'm trying to remember off the top of my head how Skyrim did it. During the character creation, I don't remember doing a class assignment, certainly not explicitly like Morrowind or Oblivion. I think everyone just started at the same base character level, and your "class" fell out of your behavior over the course of the game. Do more destruction magic, earn more magic power.

Regardless, if it wasn't Skyrim, that seems like a better system all around. Leave the character a blank slate, start every stat at 0, and the character has to be molded through the course of the game.

I work at an architectural lighting manufacturer, and yes, they definitely are.

It killed incandescent/halogen first, then CFL. Metal halide (especially high wattage) and linear fluorescent are still hanging on by a thread, but everybody in the industry acknowledges that they're on the way out.

When I was in college (class of 2012) LED lighting was on the rise but the industry imagined they would take over much more slowly than what actually happened. We were still taking about CFLs as something that might come up more than once after we graduated.

1) Merge resolution is a big one. I often muse that a note-taking app with a Git backend and three-way merge facility would be kind of awesome.

2) Combine that with offline note taking that auto-syncs when you have a network connection again (even if the note-taking app is backgrounded on your phone), and you'd have a winner. Give me that and I wouldn't even care about support for any formats other than plain text.

3) The ability to organize notes into folders and subfolders with no limit to levels of nesting.

OK, yeah, I really just want an auto-syncing Git client on my phone.
My phone bricked a week and a half ago and I've been using a phone I walked into a lake on accident two years ago that still completely works except for cell service, so it only updates when I'm connected to Wifi now. I also have google voice number, so my texting works from that phone as well, but again only where there's Wifi.

I'm going to make a claim, pay a deductible, and get a new proper phone at some point, but I've been a bit lazy and delaying it a bit because it hasn't been too bad going without.

Although I did have one bad experience since it happened (almost immediately after). My car's battery died and it required me walking for almost an hour next to a dangerous street to get to some place that had Wifi and sort out getting my car towed and being able to open Uber to have someone pick me up.

Yes and no. Part of doing a technology leap is getting people to dream. There are always rough edges associated with the new technology, and in those times, it's nice to be able to still enjoy the dream.

As an example, consider the transition from MacOS 9 -> Mac OS X (public beta days). The tough challenge was what's below the hood, the new UNIX foundation, the NeXTStep APIs, being able to mitigate the conversion pain, etc. Yet in the midst of all these challenges, they added Aqua: an ambitious, over-the-top UI. Was it overkill? Yes. Did it get scaled back? Yes. Did it impact performance? Heck yeah it did. But it did one thing very well: it got people to dream of a (literally) shiny new Operating System. In the moments when Mail.app would get stuck or when one felt the absence of many Classic features, seeing the shiny OS helped sugar-coat the transition and from a UX perspective, it helped people stick with it until the bugs got ironed out.
Pets Project: Share Website Clone Data 100k Video from 9gag.tv – Django
That almost no-one uses directly, but pretty much everyone you mentioned definitely pulls from it(or pull from things branched from it). It would be super interesting to see a path map of commits and what trees they came from for the big distributions of the kernel(i.e. android, debian, fedora, etc). But I'd bet that all of them pull from Linus's repo as a descendant.

My understanding of the general flow layout for the kernel is:

developer branch -> patch -> mailing list -> sub maintainers -> large maintainers -> Linus -> Stable branch X.X -> distribution (i.e. Debian/etc).

With some things cherry picked here and there that don't flow through this, but that most code does.

> Structural typing =/= structural subtyping, just like the presence of classes in a language in no way means that language supports inheritance.

Well, structural typing is used for two things, type equivalence and subtyping [1]. If it isn't subtyping, then the consequence would be that Rob Pike talked about type identity only, which doesn't make sense.

Let's pull in the definition of subtyping again:

> [S]ubtyping (also subtype polymorphism or inclusion polymorphism) is a form of type polymorphism in which a subtype is a datatype that is related to another datatype (the supertype) by some notion of substitutability, meaning that program elements, typically subroutines or functions, written to operate on elements of the supertype can also operate on elements of the subtype.

Now, one misunderstanding seems to be that you assume that I'm saying that B is or should be a subtype of A. Note that I never actually said that and it's not relevant; neither inheritance nor delegation necessarily create a subtype relationship. See "Inheritance is not subtyping" by Cook et al., a seminal paper in programming language theory [2].

Structural vs. nominative or nominal subtyping revolves around the definition of substitutability. With nominative subtyping, we have the case where a subtype relationship is constructed based on explicitly specified relationships between types identified by their names; structural subtyping exists when the type signature of the subtype conforms to the type signature of the supertype.

The latter is the case in Go. Somewhat simplified, the type of a struct (strictly speaking, of a pointer to an instance of that struct [3]) is the subtype of the type of any interface it matches.

> It cannot since you had to add an interface to the mix, unlike with your OCaml example, which proves that go structs and OCaml classes are not similar in any way.

This is because `#a` is a short-hand for "the interface of `a`". So, yes, the OCaml example does the same thing. You can reproduce it by removing the inheritance from OCaml, and it'll still work (or, without the `#`, still won't):

class a = object method foo = 0 end
class b = object method foo = 0 method bar = 1 end

let f (x: #a) = ()
let () = f (new b)

Note that the classes are completely independent; there is no inheritance at all. It's just that the interface of `b` conforms to the interface of `a`, and hence instances of `b` can be passed to functions expecting `#a`.

[1] E.g. http://wiki.c2.com/?NominativeAndStructuralTyping

[2] http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=96721

[3] C++ and many other OO languages make a similar distinction, as runtime polymorphism does not work well for value types.

Seems like a bit of projection here... The method isn't intrinsically persuasive.

It's often used to find the root of a problem or set of values when the questioner doesn't know the issue with enough precision to fairly discuss it with the subject.

And most of the time the theoretical "goal" is to examine a belief or potentially invoke doubt on a belief previously considered solid rather than reach any conclusion.

Anecdotally I recently fell into this line of discussion with an anti-vaxer friend of mine. Instead of trying to persuade him he's wrong I asked questions about his beliefs and asked him to justify his decisions. Questions like "You were vaccinated, did that negatively impact you?" or "Do you worry about your children getting those sicknesses?"

Questions meant to clarify or examine, not persuade. In the end neither of us changed our positions on the topic, but if we're honest that was never on the table.

At least now I have a clearer understanding of his perspective and he was willing to share some of the more vulnerable details of his beliefs that he wouldn't have admitted had I come at him persuasively.
Polar heart rate monitors have measured heart-rate variability for decades and used it to set the HR limits.

I believe this is a design decision, because relying on some enormous implicit repl state and updating the code in place is a good way to get yourself into states that are impossible to reach in an actual running program.
Racket is a functional language and it is their belief that you should just make predictable ways to startup your interactive development than rely on the entire state of some repl image.

At Apple don't do basic research and leave it at that.

They are trying to build a commercial product.

In that sense, it makes sense to try to solve the problem of self-driving along with how an Apple car should be like (besides self driving).

So that, if the self-driving research pans out, they have a complete product, not just some run-of-the-mill car design that basically sells for its self driving capability.

And even if their self-driving thing doesn't pan out, they can always enter the car market licensing some other self-driving technology (like they license/buy batteries, ssd, cpus, etc) but with their own spin on the general product.
