Apart from gold, which was only really useful in the advanced economy of Europe (a hammer made of gold isn't very good), what was the mineral wealth extracted from South America in this period? What minerals could be easily used to supplement agriculture and build industry in the local area?

What mineral industries do you see as being far easier in SA than NA in your period? What are the mineral industries that you see SA as squandering?

Don't forget either that west-coast minerals were a very long way away from advanced markets (also going via the hostile Straits of Magellan), and additionally could never benefit from the tradewinds that assisted the 'triangle trade'. Any commerce-based society there would have massive limitations.

Data Mining and Business Intelligence: The Correlation Between the Two
That is interesting that you brought up conforming to something. I didn't. Sacrifice is a mindset of putting others ahead of yourself (this is essential in having a well-formed family) for the greater good of those around you.

This attitude of Americans that you are presenting is probably the biggest cause for your downfall. The participants in the formation of your nation (the creators of your constitution) recognised the fact that sacrifice is necessary and that being responsible is essential for the well-being of society.

Responsibility and sacrifice do not have to be associated with conformity and keeping your head down. Nor do they have to be associated with deferring to your betters,

You have a very poor understanding of what responsibility and sacrifice actually mean if you associate them with the latter characteristics.

The American self-image is very much a "holier than thou" mindset and has engendered a response such that any American is to be considered a useless arrogant busy-body who has little or no understanding of anything.

Considering that, as a nation, American has a foundation in its constitution that surpasses pretty much every other nation, American falls to the bottom of nations in which justice, mercy and freedom exist.

I have dealt with Americans that I have thought very highly of. Unfortunately, these have been the very small minority. The rest have been inattentive, ignorant, bombastic, arrogant know-it-alls who have failed to show any desire to actually be part of the solution. They have acted in every way to be a part of (if not all of) the problem.

The inherent problems in American society, the lack of justice, of mercy and of freedom, are a result of this attitude. In many ways, America today is no different to China and Russia or any other tin-pot country around the world.

If Americans actually took a serious interest in the American constitution and actively took part in building their society, we might actually find something worthwhile to emulate. American has become a place that many have no interest in ever visiting because it has no justice, no mercy and certainly no freedom.

Landslide gains for national-populist party in German federal elections
While Ms Merkel will continue leading Germany into the next years, the aftermath of the German Federal elections yesterday turned out to be a defining moment in German parliamentary history, and has already induced the most vivid and interesting political discussions for years.

In the state of Saxony, national-populist party AfD became the party with the most votes, with results in the same ballpark in many other states of the former GDR.

As a detailed analysis shows, the votes for AfD don't result so much from support of AfD ultra-nationalist goals as they demonstrate a backlash against the perceived lack of democratic process in Germany under Merkel's coalition of the two big parties. The Germans were never asked about the Euro, nor about the Lisboa treaties, nor about the very large influx of refugees, nor about Germany's role as financier of the EU in various capacities, including of countries such as Hungary and Poland under their current administrations who want money from EU budgets but don't fulfill their obligations.

While I haven't and won't vote for AfD, I sure hope this result will put an end to the era of the "social-pedagogical state" of CDU and SPD, a political club of the elder generation in which everything is already decided for us.

Reminds me of another prior discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15275182

I wonder why software companies these days take it for granted that professional software developers who code for a living would spend half a day from their schedule or work overtime for free.

Now, don't give me the argument that many developers do it anyway by writing open source code. That falls in the category of "volunteering". Working overtime and spending 4 hours on solving a toy problem is not volunteering.

THREES – A tiny puzzle that grows on you
You can make that statement about any country - some people are wealthy, while others are not.

Chinese consumer economy is not the same size as US in nominal terms, so the ad spending can't be the same either. Which led me to question the revenue numbers in the first place.

I suspect that some combination of real revenues and inflationary/artificial cash flows from investments being poured in their customers are the underlying reason. Similar to the feeding frenzy with bike share companies that were profiled in the news a few weeks ago.

How the Rust Language Server Works
It's not aiming at the function NeverCalled; it's aiming at EraseAll.

As the article states, if a local static function has exactly one assignment to it, then it can be an important optimization to assume that it will always have that value. Imagine that it's some kind of "DebugPrintf(...)" function that, in release builds, is always set to a no-op that does nothing before being called. You would definitely want that indirect function call to be inlined to nothing in release.
> I have a hard time being too impressed because more modern languages are doing this out of the gates

The problem with Java is that it's an already established and very popular platform and it's been so for the past decade at least. When starting from scratch, it's easy to just throw it all away and start fresh, it's easy to fix mistakes that were made in the past.

The irony though is that we still have a hard time learning from history. Just look at Go. Sometimes this industry feels like Groundhog Day, the movie.

Also, no platform or language that I know of has gotten "modules" right, with Java being one of the platforms that has gotten closest to fixing the problem actually (by means of OSGi). To see why modules are still a big problem and why we won't have a fix for the foreseeable future, I invite you to watch this keynote by Rich Hickey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyLBGkS5ICk

Ohio class subs have a reported quiet cruising speed of 20 knots (23mph), so it would only take about 8 days to travel across the Pacific.

North Korea wants nuke because (1) they're genuinely afraid of American invasion, and (2) they're already an international pariah so additional sanctions mean little. They have something to gain from nukes, and not much to lose.

As for South Korea, it can bulldoze over North Korea with conventional weapons. It doesn't need nukes to defend against North Korea. On the other hand, China has so much firepower that having a few nukes won't tip the balance much, so nukes are not much useful against China either.

Now consider that South Korea is practically an island country, heavily dependent on trade. Almost all its neighbors will vehemently protest a nuclear program, and its economy will suffer greatly. AND it will increase tension in East Asia. And probably provoke Japan into its own nuclear program. Just what we need.

Frankly, as a South Korean, I cannot think of a single desirable outcome that can follow a nuclear program. If we're serious about national defense, what we really need now is not nukes but a powerful navy that can secure our trade routes.
> XHTML was not "dead on arrival"; that is some seriously fabricated FUD

Are you talking about XHTML in general, or XHTML 2 specifically? They're not the same thing. I was talking about XHTML 2 specifically.

> It had its own mime type to differentiate itself from HTML

XHTML 2 did not have its own MIME type to differentiate itself from XHTML 1. This was precisely the problem, because it used the same MIME type, same namespace, and same localnames to mean different things from XHTML 1.

> today we would have 100% well-formed XHTML.

We can have a long discussion about XHTML 1 and whether it would have seen better uptake with better support. I will only note that all browsers support XHTML 1, with the XML serialization, and have for years. And similar for HTML5 with its XML serialization. Yet neither one has any uptake...

I should also note that your "browser vendors" lumping-in is a bit weird. The only browser vendor that did not support XHTML was IE (admittedly a large fraction of the market, which made deploying XHTML hard). But you make it sound like there was some conspiracy of browser vendors to ignore XHTML, when in reality all of them except Microsoft implemented it fairly quickly.

I'm still not sure of the practical benefits? Seems to be purely for IOT and nothing else. Am I correct?

Edit: To add to my question, jar hell was solved by tooling which generates your classpath for you. So it hasn't been an issue for me in years. And they refused to add versioning, so you still need to use those tools. Strong encapsulation just means they disabled reflection access to non public members, which I consider a regression on functionality. Either way, not a particularly useful feature to me, in fact it breaks some of my code. So I'm left with being able to have small JVMs which don't bundle the full standard lib, which seems to be mostly of use for memory constrained environments like IOT. But I'm actually hopeful there's some bigger practical benefits I'm not thinking of, so I'd love to hear from people who know more about jigsaw.

I haven't been "recognizing C's merits" either. In fact, the real reason behind this problem is that C is not type safe, so optimizations (such as the one in this very article!) that are perfectly fine to do in type-safe languages are not possible to do in C without aggressively "exploiting" undefined behavior.

Personal experience: Granted I was a new hire but this was ridiculous. My supervisor's prior work at a beauty salon. Sample preparation virtually ensured cross contamination. Crushing tools wipe with fingers between wells, flying debris into neighboring wells, and multi-channel pressed crusher with rusty metal ends was brushed off between trays. No understanding of the difference between a true negative and a blank well.

Every laboratory I've worked in has the same basic unwritten rules of etiquette. The most obvious is don't touch what isn't yours. Another is one person, and only that one, does the work from start to finish. I couldn't just sit down and pick-up where my supervisor left off or get used to not knowing what steps may or may not have been done when I came back from break. The lack of an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) meant I had to mentally work through the process which took a few minutes. To the ignorant it's just a simple sequence of mixing solutions, rinse, add another and done while I appear to be completely confused by a simple process. To me each step builds off the previous and my mental image of the process at the molecular level gets jammed up. I've spent years working research laboratories, have a college degree, and lots of graduate work. My supervisor thinks I'm mentally challenged and just will not stop asking the most obvious questions. When I pointed out the cross contamination it was taken as a personal insult. When I went to demonstrate she just turned and left the room.

Op here. I agree team morale is absolutely essential. At the same time, as a manager you should understand how your team adds value to the company - and if it doesn't, fix that.

I write this from personal experience, having seen teams been disbanded who did a great job shipping... stuff that brought in zero value to the company. This is something I personally would want to avoid if possible, hence me putting "company first" as #1.

Of course no two situations and companies are the same, so there might be cases when having a healthy team trumps doing what the company (thinks it) needs. For now I'm personally sticking to aligning all three where I can: have a great team building things that matter with satisfied members.
Field Sort
From what I've seen, each solution has been pretty specific to the situation. I've rarely seen one tech stack prevail at low to reasonable scale.

At reasonable scale, I've seen people get really far with pure graphite setups by utilizing tools like [carbon-c-relay](https://github.com/grobian/carbon-c-relay), [carbonate](https://github.com/graphite-project/carbonate), and high integrity filesystems like zfs underneath. It's a very hands on operation though. Things like growing the cluster are hard to do without downtime.

If constant growth and uptime is a concern, something like openTSDB might be a great choice. The complexity of setting up a Hadoop + HBase cluster is a pretty big upfront cost, but man is this thing the cockroach of time series data stores. Adding storage is just growing the HBase cluster. Querying across years of data is pretty simple and straightforward. For the complexity involved, openTSDB is worth it.

That's nonsense. If you have a dispute between you and a company, everyone will expect you to talk to the company first.
