The trend of finally adopting AOT on OpenJDK and .NET (NGEN is just for faster startup) kind of prove the point they should have offered AOT since v1.0 instead of leaving it to third parties.

Another example is the ongoing efforts to improve their support for value types.

A 20 years delay to catch up with what Common Lisp, Eiffel, Modula-3 and Oberon variants already offered in those days.
Great realistic comment.

Let's make subscription timeouts a reality. When you subscribe to an email newsletter, have it default to a 1-year subscription, which the user can modify.

This solves this problem, and auto-unsubscribes people who are not active users. You could have a login or other action renew the subscription.

I think the idea of single-source attribution of relatively simple concepts is plain stupid. Any number of people could have made this up in a wide array of circumstances and for a similarly wide array of circumstances we may never know about it. For somewhat similar reasons a lower bar for patents has been established.

I don't find that first link well argued at all: because corporations have achieved some degree of regulatory capture from the FDA, we need to eliminate regulations and let those same corporations run completely rampant and somehow that will result in better performance? That makes no sense to me.

Also, the comparison there in the drug vs the chair market there is poor too. The key difference between manufacturing drugs and chairs (as in the example), is that anyone could enter the chair making with one guys who has had high school woodshop. Manufacturing a drug has a much much higher bar...
Not sure about US but in London there is citymapper that has been doing it for at least 2-3 years and I remember that at least since 2011 there were single apps doing it.
Citymapper is servicing a lot of different cities around the world.
So I'm quite skeptic about yet another startup trying to disrupt this field..
Well, if we were actually reasonable about mass transit in the US, you wouldn't see cities like LA giving priority to cars over light rail (with poor excuses like "cars can only wait 50 seconds at an intersection").

Quite a bit of LA could also do with dedicated HOT lanes for buses, bikers and those accessing local destinations (eg: within 4 blocks), combined with signal priority for buses you could easily see a bus beating driving by 5 to 10min, but LA's car culture is toxic to reasonable ideas.
Been a while since this was fixed now, but I once discovered a method to track views of even plain text emails when the user was using Thunderbird - https://www.grepular.com/DNS_Prefetch_Exposure_on_Thunderbir... - thanks to the DNS lookups caused by URL pre-fetching. Same issue worked with various webmail implementations at GMail, Hotmail, Roundcube, IMP, and probably more. You can test your client for this particular flaw and many more at a website I built - https://www.emailprivacytester.com
> This is a basic contradiction which I am not sure is solvable.

Why do people say things like this? Have you ever been to a major European city? Most have well designed public transit systems that are much more convenient than driving. They usually manage this through a combination of local subways, regional trains to go into and out of the city core, and high speed rail to travel between cities. Chinese and Indian cities are implementing the same thing.

If SF actually cared about making public transit convenient (i.e. if Transit First was anything other than an empty slogan), they would have police ticket those cars that drive in the bus only lanes.

I just don't understand this bizarre behavior of insisting that problems are insolvable, when plenty of others have implemented adequate solutions.

its a shared memory programming paradigm that can be implemented on distributed memory machines. UPC programs dont have strong any consistency guarantees. it does have a formal memory model so you know what semantics you can depend on.

its kind of a cultural successor to the SHMEM programming model which I think was developed in the 90s for the Cray t3e. at least until recently it was used quite by the NSA, but LBNL has been investing in it for general scientific use (multigrids has been a focus)

the previous environment was open source, so I'm not sure what moving to a gnu project changes. the old compiler was getting long it the tooth, so its probably just a refresh of the compiler base.

This. SMTP is broken because EmailSPs have found people to be spammy - using verify and messages with zero content to find addresses of people not opted in.

Who are the organisations keeping these lists of 'inactive' accounts and doing it in such a sloppy way that receiving text mail counts as not existing? I sure as hell haven't told them whether or not I use any of my email addresses. Isn't the solution to correct them, not to go along with them?

CDMA is unique, thankfully in this case - you can put up a single CDMA carrier on a shared frequency in a market and cover the whole of the market - CDMA works fine when doing a same channel/same channel handover. Essentially, with say, 2.5 MHz you could cover a whole market with a single CDMA carrier, and 1-2 GSM carriers, the sprint equipment at least is designed to do both CDMA and LTE with one hardware set - the gear that t-mobile uses is more modular, so it's even easier to leave the legacy bearers up for the long tail.

A bad manager can typically do far more damage than any individual member of a team, but IME it's unlikely that people who are good are going to stick around for long if they're being managed by a moron, whatever that moron's oh-so-trendy job title may be. A team of developers good enough to figure out a working process for any given job without management holding their hands has plenty of better options.

That aside, surely the more interesting scenario is still the reverse of the one you described: can good management leading average developers get better results from those developers by adopting certain working practices?

Not to pour too much cold water on this, but aside from the extreme cost -- let's just assume that comes down -- these plants ideally need to be located near specific basalt geological formations and need a substantial freshwater supply (27:1 ratio to captured CO2). So while it is most economical to capture at source power plants it may not be geographically possible. And when they're not located by a source it's 10X less efficient.

This only seems like an issue if your in what I'd call a bad area. The definition of this seems to be "bored, overstaffed cops policing minor incidents & creating crime", which you see often in the more affluent *burbs here on the West Coast.

I don't think it is a race to the bottom. China is doing that because they are still developing so it makes sense to push their currency down to boost manufacturing. But at some point Chinese workers will be able to demand similar wages and quality of life to western countries. This is when things will get interesting in my opinion.

Maybe at this point China will be the ones exporting manufacturing to poorer less industrialized countries.
When I think of liberal, I think of people like Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin. I realize my US-bias is showing, but when the country was founded the idea of a country where liberty was to be maximized was inconceivable. Currently, the people called conservatives are trying to conserve the liberal ideas of the late 18th century.

According to Wikipedia,

"Classical liberalism is a political ideology and a branch of liberalism which advocates civil liberties under the rule of law with an emphasis on economic freedom."

I think universal health care is fundamentally incompatible with both civil liberties and economic freedom.

What some consider progress, like more centralized power from elites that live X,000s miles away, others consider a regression. The biggest problem with monarchies was not their bloodline-based successions or validation by the Pope, it was their highly-centralized power.

> Just as important is our ability to communicate security problems in a manner accessible to the common voter

When the "common voter" has shirked the general principle of individualist autonomy the country was founded with, how could they possibly be receptive to that principle applied to a new technology?

For instance, firearms are a pretty old distributed-autonomy technology that predates everybody alive by several generations. We can debate their actual efficacy in preventing tyranny, but this isn't relevant to their status as but one tool. Yet every time some nutjob makes it on TV with a new high score, a not-insignificant number of people earnestly argue that if we make b(r)oomsticks illegal, the witch problem will be solved!

What it really comes down to is the sheer amount of propaganda form centralized control structures that we are steeped in. Humans are social creatures that defer to group consensus, and group consensus is heavily defined by repetition. Power desires more power, and not even out of malevolence, but the lure of the singular-narrator God delusion. The surveillance-industrial complex (Google et al) is profitable, with plenty of money to normalize their vision of surveillance culture throughout society. There is no countervoice, because distributed autonomy does not create centralized profits!

The message of freedom will only be spread by giving people access to individualistic technologies (eg secure aka steganographic filesystems, and transparent p2p communication) that they can gradually learn to rely on. We must look for ways that people at the edges can gain immediate utility (eg "piracy"), without needing to buy into the whole abstract message at once.

Even then, the necessity of forging one's own way will only become apparent when the totalitarian system actually collapses under the burden of its own complexity.

Some Smalltalks (Squeak and Pharo) have a wonderful tool called a "Method Finder".

The way it works is you write a sequence of arguments and an expected result, and it suggests a method to call.

For example, I just now tried it, entering

3. 4. 7

in the input. It suggested the following methods:

3 + 4 --> 7
3 bitOr: 4 --> 7
3 bitXor: 4 --> 7

Clicking on any of these opens a browser on the class and method concerned.

Another example: input of

'hello world'. #('hello' 'world')

yielded the single suggestion

'hello world' substrings --> #('hello' 'world')

Another:

' abc '. 'abc'

yields

' abc ' asLegalSelector --> 'abc'
' abc ' withBlanksTrimmed --> 'abc'

;;--

It's a total hack, of course, but none the less effective or useful for that.

It has a list of methods marked "safe to experiment with", and simply tries them out.

It gets a big boost from being able to evaluate the receiver (the first in the input list) to a concrete object, and then only consider methods on that object's class.

As with any sort of big transition (changing e-mail, using a new password manager, changing programming language), the solution is always to do it incrementally.

For e-mail, I generally create a new one, and over a year or two, I create new accounts with the new e-mail and gradually move accounts until the old one is seldom used. Similarly here, it may be a bit tricky, and it really depends on how intertwined it all is, but gradually writing new pieces that you're adding in a new language, or using C++ for pieces that you're rewriting. eventually you'll be much closer than trying to do it all at once.

By reading your comment and a little bit of the package declarations in some nix packages, it seems like the software package system of nix is very similar to rez.

Rez ( https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez ) is used by some visual effects companies (including mine) to manage software packages.

It allows us to have great flexibility in the mix & match of software versions and runtime environments.

I really doubt bug tracker is where people start their contributions. I mean, you don't go to a bug tracker, because (a) if it's broken someone else is probably already working on fixing it, and (b) the unsolved issues are rather complex and not quite suitable for new contributors.

There's actually a bunch of pages on the wiki that might help you:

* https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/TODO (a nice list of development topics, including some quite simple ones)

I'd recommend picking a feature that matters to you and either add it (if it's missing) or improve it in some way. That's how I started contributing - I improved a bunch of stuff in the internal statistics tracking, because I needed that. I improved a bunch of performance regressions, because they were affecting the systems in our production systems. And so on.
