Yes, to be honest, C is not good as a "first" programming language. If i can give you a suggestion, it would be: Start learning Python, which is a good "first language to learn", and then try this book.

You will find that jumping from Python to C there will be two strong differences:

a) C is a statically typed language, so you will need to declare (specify) the type of each variable you would like to use.

b) In Python, the language manages your usage of the computer's memory. In C, you manage the memory... After some CS courses you'll probably be familiar with concepts like "linked lists", which then you can try implementing in C by using pointers. Thus, you'll realize that in C you are in control of the computer's memory; you will be able to request (allocate, with malloc) blocks of memory and free them afterwards.

c) C syntax can be tricky, compared to Python.
Not the OP, but I have had the experience of working on worthwhile products, but in the context of a preponderately meaningless job. Even if a product has some value, you can find your role demeaned by terrible ethical practices, psychopathic bosses, sales-dominated practises insisting on low quality work, institutional insistence on lying to clients, etc etc. The word 'meaningless' may be a bit over-categorical, but I'd consider it defensible to refer to situations where the meaningless/negative aspects overwhelm the positive.

My experience was that this was the case with all commercial jobs I did. Bearing in mind that only the top 10% or so (which by definition we can't all be included in) have a very wide choice of work.
I really thought that the article was literally about the smell of the cars :)
Yup. Think of C as a rusty straight razor and Fortran as a barn full of rusty implements about ready to fall at any time. C++ maybe a rusty safety razor.

Originally, Fortran had manual memory management, as per the times. Thankfully, the language progressed.

Overall, the evolution of languages from assembly/raw instructional to procedural ones needed early languages like Fortran on which other higher-level languages, tools and OSes could be later built/bootstrapped.

There is some ambiguity to what the complement of materialism actually is, but I'm fairly sure religion isn't it. I think we can all come up with examples of people who accepted reduced material circumstances in service of a higher goal, and many of those people were not believers in anything other than their own personal value systems.

The hazy impression I get of that era is a breakdown of the Roman imperium's refined monoculture into a multitude of unrefined variations. On many levels, I like that.

By ceaselessly optimizing, refining, and centralizing without regard to intrinsic human needs, we're really just charging head first into entropy. Think the Italian "slow life" vs NYC...
The author is only comparing production ability and basic mechanical stats with the Bolt and Leaf.

I am on the Model 3 waiting list for the Autopilot. Heck, it could be gas powered and I'd be on the waiting list for the Autopilot. I don't need full autonomous. I just want the best system, and currently Tesla has it. So hopefully they figure out their production issues.

I also just bought a 2018 Honda Odyssey as our main family car and it can't even do adaptive cruise control under 20 mph. I think people underrate how far ahead Tesla is in these areas. Their competition is currently Google and Uber, not Chevy, Nissan, etc.

First two paragraphs

"When North Korean hackers tried to steal $1 billion from the New York Federal Reserve last year, only a spelling error stopped them. They were digitally looting an account of the Bangladesh Central Bank, when bankers grew suspicious about a withdrawal request that had misspelled “foundation” as “fandation.”

Even so, Kim Jong-un’s minions still got away with $81 million in that heist"
It would be nice if we didn't quote tweets as news, also.
Why ? North Korea needs foreign reserves.

And since they aren't part of the world economy and can't be punished why should they care about the implications. And I spent time in Pyongyang and spoke with an Indian worker there. North Korea was running secret 4G mesh networks off their fibre optic network very early on so clearly what people see/believe isn't the reality.
They still have an important point about what statistics to use. Total death count is useless. You want numbers for per-mile and per-hour, and you want to look at more than just deaths.

A lot of compilers for embedded systems are still C89 (with a few architecture-specific extensions).
Cool! Indeed, Rez does something similar on the package management side.

For Nix, this is almost a side-effect, however. Nix's primary task is to describe how to build packages, and the entire OS is just another package that groups all dependencies. You can make a single change to a file everything depends on and it will result in a new OS.

Nix can evaluate the entire system configuration in seconds, and build or download missing binaries in parallel.

As a result you can e.g. have a complete OS based on a different glibc (maybe with some patch you like) installed and running alongside the normal OS without the glibc patch. Packages that do not use glibc are simply shared.

"If a part has a problem, only a small quantity needs to be shipped back to the supplier who can inspect, correct, and quickly adjust their own production process."

Isn't one of the advantages of having a minimal, electric vehicle that there are fewer moving parts?

Telsa is in a interesting position as a software/car maker. There production line is like an algorithm they are adjusting on the fly, and it's obviously going to be messy when you don't have multiple decades of manufacturing experience.

Still, Tesla's learning curve is steep, and the M3 is a much more simpler car. Don't be against Elon, it's quite possible he'll be able to figure out how to make 10K/week once the kinks are figured out.

Well, it's more that the shapes of the states were pretty much all set back in the 19th century. Trying to construe a miniscule alteration between states as "the state lines are still in flux" is pretty disingenuous. Doubly so, given that the edit made this past january was about making the state lines truer to the demarcation set out back in the 19th C.

These little corrections are tiny, and there's been no state border changes of any real significance for almost a century.

>Now intelligence officials estimate that North Korea reaps hundreds of millions a dollars a year from ransomware, digital bank heists, online video game cracking, and more recently, hacks of South Korean Bitcoin exchanges.

How does "online video game cracking" even compare to the other items listed?

Most titles are cracked by elite teams of reverse engineers who are mostly located in Western countries, and they do it for free.

All I can figure is they're providing cracking support to street-level piracy operations that primarily deal with heavily localized software or games that the mainstream scene wouldn't normally touch. Perhaps the author was referring to the sale of cheats, or even real money trading in MMO games.

Whichever the case, I find the mention odd given it has no further explanation. It almost sounds like a nod to special interests, except there's no telltale mention of film piracy beyond the Sony affair.

Actually North Korea has been growing economically, and rather substantially. The latest sanctions may change some of that.

EDIT: Much of that growth is (or was) due to limited market liberalization, the "jangmadang" or local marketplaces, tolerated since the famines of the 1990's, then more or less officially acknowledged. Trade with China is involved here.

>Are there any languages where the different implementations "play well with each other"?

Yes: Common Lisp, Java, C and C++, to give four examples. Javascript as well. All these languages have formal standards, which helps a lot.

>Which major incompatibilities are you thinking of between CPython and PyPy, which are the two I use most often? Are they more severe than the incompatibilities between the different Common Lisp, which the author describes?

PyPy attempts to implement the full Python 2.7 language but there are things missing. You argue that Python's CFFI features are "implementation-specific", let's just agree with this; but the Python 2.7 language also defines -as part of the spec- many modules, and PyPy does not implement all of those modules, so it's not implementing the full set of features defined by that spec.

Code written in Common Lisp should run (and often runs) correctly with no change in all mature Common Lisp implementations (and there are many of them), unless the code uses implementation-dependent features. Those implementations implement the full set of features defined by the ANSI Common Lisp standard.

> I couldn’t help check off the sins against the “Toyota Bible”, prescriptions for car manufacturers that are lucidly detailed in The Machine That Changed The World (a great and, in parts, sad read).

If a part has a problem, only a small quantity needs to be shipped back to the supplier who can inspect, correct, and quickly adjust their own production process.

This isn't just a minor set of sins. Tesla apparently fundamentally does not grasp the concept of Lean Manufacturing+ as developed by Toyota, also known as the Toyota Production System++.

Tesla is trying to "lean startup" the Model 3. Not clear whether that was originally their intention, but the fact that they're building parts of the Model 3 by hand immediately brings to mind the kind of non-scaleable stuff that people in the software industry do at early phases of their evolution (things that are hailed as "the right thing to do). Maybe Tesla's undoing is that there's a little too much of the Silicon Valley ethos going on there.
I work in aviation safety/training. The most meaningful work I've done is developing code for flight simulators, so that pilots can learn how to handle real-world problems. Sometimes that means modeling data from flight recorder boxes, which is a special treat.

the idea that kim is trying to make his cyber program an alternative to his nuclear program, as suggested at the very end of the article, is completely wrong. the nuclear program is kims number one priority and it will remain so until it is completed. north korea is racing against the clock to develop a nuke, just like iran, because it is the only way that the country can survive. without a nuke, north korea will eventually give in to western influence and ultimately western powers will provoke a destabilization event and put their own person into power. the one and only thing that will prevent that is a nuclear weapon.

I'd like to see lenses with the opposite trade-off: slow (ie. diffraction limited) but excellent optical properties. They'd be ideal for outdoor and long exposure deep focus shots, and it should be possible to make them smaller and lighter than normal lenses. But these lenses seem not to exist despite their potential utility. People focus on low f-number just because it's easy to measure, and assume everybody wants blurred backgrounds.

Is there any source for high quality slow lenses?
I have to agree completely. Autopilot is miles ahead. While I'm waiting for my 3 preorder, I took a test drive a Model S. I haven't felt as moved by a technology like Autopilot since I first swiped on the first iPhone.

Coincidentally, we're in the market for a 2018 Odyssey as our family car too.
What makes you think Tesla doesn't fundamentally grasp it? This anecdote? The plural of anecdote is not data.

Your wikipedia link on the Toyota Production System says it was developed between 1948 and 1975. So it look 27 years to develop. Working for a startup myself, I'm very aware of Kanban and other TPS-inspired work processes. Sometimes in startup-hair-on-fire-mode that all goes out the window and I think that's where Tesla is in company maturity right now.

> You base your State shapes on magnets and not cartographers?

You can see the transfer of a few square miles on a continent-scale map like the ones in the article?

The North/South Carolina border change represents about 700 sq miles changed over. The smallest state in the US is Rhode Island, with 1.2M sq miles - four orders of magnitude more. South and North Carolina are 30M and 50M sq miles respectively - five orders of magnitude more than this parcel of land.

Do you think that miniscule corrections every few decades are really enough to counter the author's claim that the state shapes were 'drawn in the distant past'? Seems excessively pedantic to me - especially since the shapes involved didn't change all that much.
