A common mistake made by "self-appointed" bitcoin experts and IMHO a good indicator for more red flags.

> On one side are those who believe that Bitcoin is … money, currency, …. On the other side are those who believe that it is a commodity, ….

That is the other red flag: Trying to construct two different exclusive camps. This goes along with not mentioning the Lightning Network (LN). Some people still don't see that LN could enable bitcoin to be both: A currency and a commodity.
This is such bullshit. I for instance know someone who got severe depressions from taking madma a few times.

Reminds me of a rather heart-breaking interview with a man who should have been a laureate.

(I wish I had saved this at the time, but now I'm unable to give a link to the video material)

The Chemistry prize in 2008 was awarded for fluorescent proteins, which can be used to label interesting biological structures and functions.
One of the laureates' guests at the ceremony was a former colleague, whom they were careful to point out had been absolutely critical for the discovery, implying that he should have been sharing the prize.

A TV reporter caught this colleague for interview for a while during the festivities after the main banquet dinner, and found, in addition to congratulations to his friends and background on his contribution, a story of extreme academic pressure and not getting enough money to sustain himself and the research. To make ends meet, he left science and started driving long haul bus transports, and that's how he had earned his living ever since. He looked sad about it, but also resigned - claimed the pay is better and it's a lot less stressful. You got to pay the bills and at least it's some financial security.
I found it a very moving story, and the reported seemed shaken at that point too.

"But you were doing Nobel Prize quality research!"

"Well. That makes me a very overqualified bus driver, doesn't it."

Right / left, or rtl/ltr is not flipping 180 or mirroring.

You want eventually the navbar mirrored, but you surely don’t want to read 321, 654, 987 on your number pad. Being lefty doesn’t make your brain read rtl.

There is no quick wins there.
That entirely depends on your timeframe. If you are an older person at or near retirement and planning on using your investments to pay for your living expenses you are much better off going into cash and low risk investments like treasuries. If you plan on having investments for the next 40+ years your outlook is totally different, and so should be your trading strategy.
>Seems like the original idea was LEGO-like modular system of components that can be combined into buildings.

Which in itself it is not entirely new and largely pre-dates the advent of computers as we know them today.

In the '80's and '90's there were all sorts of experiments in the field, it was a "trend" explored in many countries, "modular building prefabrication".

I was involved in the time in several projects (and actual constructions) though surely things may have become easier today (thanks to CAD, CAE and new materials/techniques), at the time the results were not as good as hypothized in the patent, aspecially for "civil" buildings.

Specifically there was a definite saving of time in the building phase, BUT the resulting building was either at a "lower" standard/level than a more traditional construction or - to have the same standard/level - the costs were not so much lower.

The base concept has been used for decades in "industrial" buildings, such as factories and warehouses, however those used a much lesser number of different (and simpler) components, and more or less they are anyway always a parallelepiped of some kind.

Simply (and not so surprisingly) the techniques developed at the time for houses/office buildings made only sense in very large scale projects as the cost of (besides constructing them and assembling them) storing, managing and transporting/delivering the components killed the economic savings possible in theory.

If (when) a "build components on demand" scheme and a "continuous flow of production" was possible it did make sense, unfortunately this is not what normally happens in the real world, there were months/years when the production was lower than demand and then for whatever reasons there were months/years with no or very low demand, thus costs of plants ate the savings.

The best way this can affect Google is if the people they want to 'partner' with in the future turn around and tell them: "sorry you guys have a reputation now for being untrustworthy partners.

> If this was a feature that was shown to be highly beneficial to your users, then why deploy it to just 1%? Super shady.

They've seen this on a small scale, and only among power users. They're now rolling it out to this 1% to test further how users like it and especially also to see how average users like it.

Besides that, they're trying to improve the data set to see how well it works with enough data. 1% of users is plenty to get that data set up. So, in case they decide to not roll the feature out, they only have to take it away from that 1% of users.

Lastly, they are aware that this opens up potential ways to infringe on user privacy and more-so will spin up conspiracy theorists that have now discovered that Mozilla was evil all along. It's just something that can harm their image, even if it is done in an entirely privacy-respecting way.

So, they're testing the waters. If users like it a lot, they might be willing to take that reputation damage. If the feedback is good, but not overwhelming, then they might backpedal, just to get those conspiracy theorists back into the boat.

That's entirely different from trying to time the market upturns and downturns. If you need less risk and more liquidity then you should adjust your stocks/bonds asset allocation to match your risk tolerance and life goals, but within each bucket you should buy low-cost diversified index funds and hold them.

That is for the Datenschutzbeauftragte and the courts to decide, if your IP and your entire browsing history combined is personally identifying or not.

But even if it is not, hopefully the resulting media presence is enough to either kill Mozilla, or to ensure everyone at Mozilla that considers this a good idea is fired.
I faced this problem, and face it on a regular basis. I get just too many ideas, I used to note them down, and the list grows bigger and bigger.
The only way to resolve the issue is knowing that finding ideas is easy, but execution is king. You need to work out and analyze their potential. You need to sit down, brood over every idea and look at every angle
- problem you are solving
- target market (size, barriers to entry)
- competitors
- do you have a team which can solve this problem efficiently
etc.
etc.

This will definitely prune your list of ideas.

Next, you will need to discuss the chosen few ideas with prospective customers, and see if they "really" need this, are ready for this. You will need to develop prototypes, get some early customers, see how they like it.

Basically, start executing.

I'd add one more very popular implementation:

CCL - Clozure CL
Produces fast native code; compiles faster
than SBCL. Also has some MacOS-specific goodies.

People sometimes use both CCL and SBCL at the same time, to have faster compiling during development via CCL and then better runtime performance of the released version via SBCL.

I used to use CCL for hobby gamedev back when SBCL had some troubles on Windows (they're gone now); now I only use it on Raspberry Pi (AFAIK SBCL couldn't utilize multiple cores on ARMs last time I checked (which was a years ago)).
If you don't want bots to try email+password from a leak on a bunch of websites, it's good enough, but I agree on the fact that it won't hide your identity.

Namaste. I, too was pretty wide eyed and excited when I thought about the consequences of such an acquisition.

At this point, I think we're all looking to the initial actors for some clarification.

Later, when I saw that Adafruit's revenue is about $22M a year, and the acquisition price was a $29M debt accrued prior, I started to doubt myself yet again!

It's fascinating to see the intense online waves this has made. People are truly fond of RadioShack's brand, and AdaFruit as an underdog.

Whatever the outcome, perhaps it's a good reality check for all of us in the age of "fake news".
I haven’t touched macOS/iOS development in a while, but I feel Objective-C has a certain graceless charm which just isn’t there in Swift.
The framed stock certificate from the auction photo aren't the same as the ones in the photo tweeted by Adafruit. Very similar frame though.

FHD versions suck at inverted color schemes (white on black text). (The 4k version can be patched)

When there as primarily black on the screen, the monitor dims the backlight and brightens the screen. This saves backlight, but cut's of the peak brightness (the white of your text). You can test if you are effected here: http://tylerwatt12.com/dc/

There is no patch for the FHD version, the problem exists since 2015, so for several generations of these things... https://github.com/advancingu/XPS13Linux/issues/2

But you would certainly like to have some kind of explanation on why the dollar is so weak before calling this a good time to invest? Like - what exactly is going on over there?

Hopelessly intrigued by Chrono Trigger, I learned English by playing it back to back on ZSNES, banging my head as I was looking for some place, object or task I hadn't quite fully grasped, progressing from frankly mediocre to seriously nice reading skills by the end (or rather, 10+ ends) of the game. Next stop was DOTT, and since the Full Talkie novelty was only available in English, well, so be it! With all the wit and puns and accents, 5 min in I was like "Holy crap what have I got myself into?", but that was too late, I was hooked, there was no way I would not beat this game. With no other guide than a Harrap's I made it through the hard way. A delightfully painful experience it was to go way beyond my comfort zone with such good games, to which I owe to be fluent in English today.

I never understood what's the point of having quantifiable data in a resume for a software engineer.

Most of the time it'll likely end up being made up, as you don't have access to financial data and cannot estimate an impact your work had on a business.
As a side note, there is another effect that we have to consider.

If these brilliant scientists/professors are not (adequately) financed for their research, inevitably a large part of their time will be dedicated in looking for funds, detracting it from the time dedicated to the research itself.

So, not only some research is not possible (or gives scarce results) because of the lack of funds, but the time spent in looking for other funds will reduce the research results in a perverse spiral.

In a perfect world research institutions should be able to make their lead researchers "worry free" (about the funding and the other bureaucracy matters), as this condition is the one where creativity and productivity is at the top level.

Since funds are obviously limited, maybe the issue is about starting too many researches (underfunding each of them) as opposed to choose a limited number of research projects and fully fund them.

But if you use this approach, the issue becomes the war for being selected, the possible corruption (or simply bad judgement) of the selecting commission, etc.

I guess noone has a proper solution to the issue.

Quite the contrary it involves the data of their end-users who, through their indifference to the Cliqz add-on, have already shown that they're not interested in the deal.

That's a great story! I found a book describing the story of Douglas Prasher in more detail: https://books.google.com/books?id=L2zDBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA18&lpg=P...

On the bright side, it seems he returned to Scientific Research: In June 2010, Prasher was finally able to return to science, working for Streamline Automation in Huntsville until December 2011, and then from 2012 to 2015 in Tsien's lab at the University of California in San Diego

No, it's the opposite - it doesn't have to drag around pointless layers of unused abstractions, and all the bugs that are there are bugs of subject matter, not of surrounding boilerplate. Such code minimizes the surface area and degrees of freedom, hence not leaving space for bugs.

The more I program, the more I'm convinced that - unless you've coded identical software many times before - code needs to grow organically and stay as focused and close to the problem as possible. Abstractions should follow naturally and be done "just in time". If they're needed, they have to be written either way, and you're not saving time by writing them up front (focused code is easy to refactor).

Of course with experience, you learn that some patterns of change are likely to occur, or that some touches of abstractions here and there are very beneficial. But beyond that, I feel the best way is to write simplest code possible, wait for it to be needed elsewhere, and then DRY up semantics.

I liked the posts of Casey Muratori, which explain roughly this mindset, calling it "semantic compression" and "compression-oriented programming": https://mollyrocket.com/casey/stream_0019.html.

Being in the UK, witnessing the pound devalue massively, my S&P investments have done stupidly well. As have my Japanese index investments. And my European index investments. Global index investments. If I thought the UK was going to sort itself out, I might sell off some of those and put them back into pounds.

That I blew most of last month's pay on European indices suggests I think the Maybot and chums are not done wrecking the UK yet :)

It is about someone who is sleazy. I don't really understand the modern trend that if story that is about (or includes) a character that is sexist/racist/etc, that then makes the story or it's creator sexist/racist/etc. It's quite absurd.

Lolita is about a pedophile, does that make Vladimir Nabokov a pedophile? Othello's Iago was incredibly racist, does that make Shakespeare racist?

That's not to say this game is on the same level as Shakespeare, but the point applies to any number of movies that include contentious character motivations.
Playing games was different back then (for me at least). I would visit different places in the game as some kind of “virtual tourist” to explore and just enjoy myself. It’s not like there was anything else to do with a computer that wasn’t totally boring.

It has never been the only option on Google App Engine (GAE). Bcrypt is exactly what I used in my GAE app back in 2009, though I have since moved on to scrypt. Bcrypt can be implemented in non-C languages, and there are libraries available for all the languages that are supported on GAE. If you're worried about Python performance, then you can have the bcrypt function in a separate module written in Java/Go.

This feels dodgy.
They don't either collect the IP. They receive it, simply because a network communication has to take place, but they don't store it. And while they do collect your browsing history in fuzzied form, it's intermixed with other people's browsing history, therefore cannot either be used to identify you.

And yes, at the end of the day, it's up to the Datenschutzbeauftragte and the courts to decide, but I really do think that you delude yourself, if you believe this will go anywhere. They'd have locked up the entirety of Google and Microsoft multiple times already.
> The idea of "programming paradigms" is not a useful way to talk about programming language design.

The term "paradigm" is too general indeed and therefore can be quite ambiguous in many situations because it covers different aspects like the underlying computing model or language design.
