I was about 9 and my dad brought home a Commodore-64. Every Saturday morning I would wake up to find some powdered doughnuts and chocolate milk waiting for me. I would type in and debug programs from "The Gazette" magazine. When they ran I was so excited. This was the only time I was allowed to eat an entire box of doughnuts in a day.

We also had a VIC-20 after that sometime. Then a Tandy Color Computer. Schools had Apple II. When I reached 7th grade we had IBM PC's in a lab and then by 9th grade we had a full on Macintosh lab with various models.

be aware, at least in Chrome, once you give teachablemachine.withgoogle.com permission to use you camera, unless you revoke that permission is has permission to use your camera without further permission including from iframes. In other words every ad from and analytics from Google could start injecting camera access.

I wish chrome would give the option to only give permission "this time" and I wish it didn't allow camera access from cross domain iframes.
Thanks for linking that. I agree that whether or not stepping down was voluntary is an important question. But the answer is right there in your link. That whole memo is nothing else than a manifesto saying "Brendan had to go". Your only possible counterargument seems to be that the memo might have been just a PR move, while in fact he stepped down voluntarily. But, when you think of it, publicly saying "Brendan had to go" is not much different from actually making him go in the sense that in both cases the organization makes a bold political statement on behalf of its employees, its contributors, its supporters and with consequences for its users.
I remember reading an article several years ago about China's economic leadership. At that time it said that it's not quite clear whether or not China leads the U.S., but even if it led it, it probably wouldn't make a big deal out of it, because it doesn't want to have that responsibility of being the most powerful nation on Earth (at least economically).

I think China is starting to become ready to take that leadership role, especially when the U.S. government seems to run around like a headless chicken, arguing about the role of science, or whether or not coal has a future, or that climate change is real, having schizophrenic and increasingly more bully-like foreign policies, and so on.

I'm not particularly looking forward to China becoming the world's leader, because just like the US had a positive influence on other democracies in the past decades, I expect China to have a mainly negative influence on other democracies in terms of human rights and other stuff like that. I'm just saying that this is going to happen, while the U.S. decays.

It also helps that China has 4x the population of U.S., so it's almost as if it's only a matter of time before China has a stronger economy. Well, unless AI does steal everyone's jobs, and then I suppose China would have a bigger problem on its hands than anyone else...

Yes, I thought the exact same thing. The value being passed in is an int, which can be negative. So, the statement "if (state > 4) abort();" isn't enough of a guard.

I managed a team of C/C++ programmers for many years in Silicon Valley. I always encouraged my engineers to write clean code without fancy tricks. Fancy tricks lead to bugs that spend a lot of time to debug. If I had an engineer write that dispatch() function with the vtable, I'd have beaten them with a wet noodle until they promised never to do that again.

The $1B of salaries are being taxed as income and the $2.2B of sales most likely hits a sales tax. (Or the $1.2B difference, if it’s a VAT/GST style tax.)

I personally don’t see the point of corporate tax, other than to make other taxes seem smaller than they’d otherwise have to be. Profits are not in and of themselves useful to people; they have to be converted to income somehow.

Please, no more of this "starve the beast" nonsense. Look at the US. Regardless of what you think of government, know that starve the beast does not work. If you want to reduce expenses, reduce them directly. Reducing income does not necessarily reduce expenses. There are no shortcuts here.

Pharaoh tomb discovered underneath Santa Claus's church
You may find this paper helpful [1]. As noted there, syntax-rules consists really of two different parts: (1) the hygiene-preserving macro expander and (2) the pattern-matching facility. Once you wrap your head around the two pieces, it's actually pretty straightforward to implement them both. It's very common to write some "low-level" macro facility as a stepping-stone to syntax-rules (such as explicit-renaming macros or syntactic closures): the implementation of syntax-rules then becomes a composition of the pattern-matcher and the low-level facility. A tutorial implementation of an appropriate pattern-matcher can be found at [2],[3].

There's lots of good reading to be found at the ReadScheme Library [4]. Most if not all of the references in [1] can be found there.

Tangentially: yeah, syntax-rules kinda flies in the face of the oft-mentioned minimalism of Scheme, but there's a reason for it: at the time syntax-rules was standardized, there was no consensus on which (if any) low-level facility should be standardized (and, really, there still isn't any such consensus). The reason syntax-rules operates as a pattern-template rewriting system rather than as a procedural system is that such a system is able to guarantee that the macros it produces are hygienic in a (comparably) simple and intuitive way. The idea was to standardize on a high-level system so that Scheme could have a standard macro facility, whilst leaving the low-level systems open for further exploration and experimentation. The two main contenders are still, after all these years, syntax-case and syntactic closures: the latter being easier to implement and arguably easier to grok, the former being potentially more powerful (in that an implementation of syntactic closures within syntax-case is known, but not vice-versa (last I checked)).

High taxes on tabacco are not supposed to fund treatment, they're supposed to deter people from smoking.

While self inflicted illnesses are (and should be) covered by health care, there is a point in trying to avoid those rather than making them easy to treat. Deterring people from smoking while researching treatment for other forms of cancer can save more lives in the long run.

>Yes. And all equally true for statically typed languages.

>Refactoring without tests is easier in a statically typed language, but still stupid. If you assume a decent body of tests, the benefit dissipates quickly.

We're not arguing whether dynamic language+extensive integration/unit test is better than static typing and no tests.

>And, if your design is solid ...

Yes, if you have a very solid architecture, strict coding guidelines, extensive integration and unit test coverage, experienced developers (etc. etc. etc.) you will mitigate a lot of problems with dynamic typing. So if you do everything right, avoid the pitfalls, you can have something solid. A similar argument is made to me when I assert JavaScript is a terrible language. I don't disagree with either but it doesn't prove anything.

>The cost of "extra typing" is cognitive, not a finger speed limitation.

Exactly.
But otherwise you'd get a lot of age related deaths? If you use a 15 year window, many people with cancer treatment at the age of 70 won't survive the 15 year period. That makes cancers 'deadlier' where they affect older people. A 5 year horizon is probably more suitable to reduce unrelated deaths.

I'm not sure why people are so worked up over caddy. The http header "feature" got promptly removed, and the trademark infrigment claim is necessary for them to avoid dilluting their trademark.

When Caesar divorced Pompeia, he said "my wife ought not even to be under suspicion". As a European I feel the same about the way the EU is plundering US tech companies. Maybe they really broke the law, but you should be above suspicion. When VW has not paid any fines in Europe for the emissions scandal, it's hard not to be suspicious about what's going on.

The Eurostoxx 50 is still below its 2007 peak (and that peak was below the 2000 peak). GDP growth has been pathetic. Almost a decade into the Greek crisis they're still just kicking the can down the road. Is the EU trying to be a productive economic system or a kleptocracy that survives on the scraps it can extract from the Americans? Get your house in order, then maybe these fines would not look as bad.

The Importance of Enterprise Mobile App for the Business
> You literally don't need any user information to run an email service.

I know that and you know that the average user does NOT know that and is too good-natured to enter fake information.

There are plenty of email services out there, among them many of largest and most established ones, where the real name is a required field during registration.

Sure you can always argue "Well just enter fake details" but that's missing the point. The point being that once personal information becomes a liability, instead of something you can just haphazardly hoard as an asset, companies would be much more careful about what kind of information they are asking from the users in the very first place.

Companies abuse the goodwill of the average users by asking for more information than they should because it comes at no cost to them while at the same time being a very big asset. Even if they fail to secure these assets and a breach happens, most of the costs of that are externalized onto the users whose data actually got leaked, the consequences for the company are often only cosmetical, some bad PR/stock prices take a little downturn.
But the brunt of that will be over after a couple of weeks and after that, it's back to business as usual.

That needs to change, companies need to be held liable for:

A) Needlessly asking for and hoarding personal information
B) Sloppy treatment of information resulting in a leak

Yes, this could very well be opening Pandora's box, but something about the current state of things really needs to change.

In 2012 extreme poverty in India was 20%, bit less than 10% in China. And shrinking each year.

“At the outset of the reforms in 1978, China was poor. It had a GDP per capita level similar to Zambia – lower than half of the Asian average and lower than two thirds of the African average. China experienced an average GDP growth of close to 10% per year until 2014, raising per capita GDP almost 49-fold, from 155 current US Dollars (1978) to 7,590 US Dollars in 2014, lifting 800 million people out of poverty – an unparalleled achievement. In urban centres in China, poverty has been virtually eliminated.”

You (and every other responder) miss larger the point of my comment. Let's use Google as an example. Your clicks throughout the internet, like sand, don't amount to much of value. It's a very unrefined, raw material, with limited quantity. Even if Google were forced to value that raw material, they can argue they're trading it in equal exchange for whatever service they offer you, so there would still be no tax.

In any situation, potentially derived value is not taxable. A car is worth whatever a car was bought/sold for, not including some hypothetical such as whatever I could make by driving it for Uber/Lyft. What matter's here is what will actually occur in the transaction. If Equifax chooses to sell its data, that income will be taxed at whatever price Equifax chooses to sell the data.

Note this doesn't change that your "gift" of peanuts of data is not taxable because (a) your data alone isn't worth squat, (b) even if it was, you got something in exchange for it.

So, I went to my local Apple Store because I could not format my boot volume to APFS on my MBP-15(non touch-bar). I had backed up and already wiped my drive. Clean slate.

The Apple Store genius flipped out and was like "why are you doing this?", called me a "fan boy" and just was in general disbelief that somebody would be upgrading a boot volume. He sort of dropped comments throughout our interaction about just how bad an idea this was. It made me feel weird about making the decision.
