It's probably more literally true than he intended. And 7 isn't really a cliche; it's not an opinion but a thoroughly proven, universal limitation of human working memory.

Before the advent of cheap writing instruments, and especially cheap printing, we used poetry to almost effortlessly recall and communicate large working sets of data, privately or in discourse. With poetry and similar mnemonic devices people memorized volumes of information. A student or scholar in ancient Greece would have literally memorized all the classics. Someone like Cicero would write a speech of 5,000 to 10,000 words and then, a few days later, deliver it nearly verbatim from memory. The dominate form of mass communication was through open speeches, and this is why most of the great speeches came from the ancient world. But it was limited; recalling and sharing was easy, but memorizing was still laborious, notwithstanding the fact that ancient scholars' memorization faculties seem like super powers to modern humans.

With the advent of cheap writing and printing, we were able to archive, recall, and disseminate magnitudes more information at a more rapid pace. And while slower to recall, speed of creation and dissemination, and sheer volume more than made up for that limitation. Moreover, mass communication proved far more efficient in written form.

Today computers are killing writing just as writing killed poetry. But it's not really computers, per se. With writing it was the system of creating and using written works (alphabets, printing presses, libraries) that actually realized the efficiency gain. In Alan Kay's view, Lisp is what made the promise of computers realizable, capable of supplanting the dominant form of "thinking" and of opening up new frontiers. Computers are like papyrus; it's learning how to use them that matters, and Lisp was that great leap. It's one thing to laboriously write a program using machine code; it's something else entirely to do this using an elegant, higher-order programming language. Indeed, once you use that higher-order language you can't go back; it changes how you think about programming, including how you structure programs written in machine code. Like with poetry and writing the utilitarian leap in productivity is forgotten because it becomes so effortless and seemingly obvious; instead all you see are the limitations and faults.

Don"t follow you. Are you are too old to believe in the fairy tale of honestly implementing your campaign promises, so you prefer the proven method of lying to the ellectorate?

I bet you also welcome corruption since, you know, how would anyone believe in, or even aspire to, the "fairy tale" of uncorruptible polititians!

You are certainly a sensible realist!
Well, unless you include air pollution, then quality of life isn’t better, especially in Beijing.

Also, even if housing forsake prices in Beijing are at New York levels, rents are just at Wichita levels. No foreigner is going to buy into that level of crazy, especially when buying property in china accords them no residency benefits (they will never get hukou, heck, green cards basically don’t exist).

Viant (aka Specific Media) is a well known fraudster. Nobody in the ad industry thought MySpace was "back" after you heard who bought it years ago. The Vanderhooks (the brothers who founded Specific and continue to run all their schemes) pioneered the pop-under and have been running darker scams ever since. I worked for Specific for a few years and the brothers were refreshingly tech savvy. The penchant for fraud was always the dominant strategy (grown from a kernel of organic, like all good ad fraud).

I'm not sure how this is incivil?

The claim is logically incoherent: typing cannot be a property of the internet, in the same way tuesday cannot be pink nor can addition sound terrifying.

The claim is a category error: the internet cannot posses such a property.

In addition, to say, of something, that it is " is a made up thing " is a degree of hubris that is presumably reasonably met by being perplexed at overconfidence of the claim posed with such little correct information.

Is being perplexed more uncivil than hubris? Are we really policing people's language to this minute degree?

What else do you do? You can't just walk away at that point. Gates appears to be trying to some extent but that much money takes on a life of it's own. You hire people and it keeps growing.
The user has no realistic way to determine whether a certificate change is legitimate or due to a man-in-the-middle, even if they are technical, unless they are told out-of-band. Normal users are likely to just click through any warnings, because they don't care about security as much as getting their work done, particularly since a warning is almost certainly a false alarm.
Money is just a way of keeping score for people like Gates and Bezos.

Anyway, if you have the personality that creates a company like Amazon, you can't just sit back and enjoy it. It's just not in your nature. I had an uncle like that - he kept starting companies long after it mattered financially. He'd sell the current one, tell everyone he was retiring, sit around miserably for a few months and then start another. "It's mostly just a hobby," he'd say, and sell it for ten million dollars a few years later and start the whole process over.

Also, flooding your descendents with money isn't necessarily a good idea. People who grew up with more money than they could ever spend tend to be pretty unhappy. Warren Buffett claims he left his children enough money to do "anything they want to do, but not enough to do nothing." The rest he gave away.
This is weird point that gets repeated all the time - sure, Spanish politicians have lower risks, but their potential gains are also much lower -

Huh, well that's an interesting point. I don't know exactly how popular Security Headers is, but given that it's at least partially targeted at novices, I can see how this backlash might have been avoided if HPKP had been omitted there from the start.
As I said above shipping is always high to islands. You can say the same thing (small business hurt by shipping) in Bermuda or Tahiti or Antigua, in all these cases the cost of shipping has nothing to do with the Jones Act.

If Jones Act shippers were fleecing PR, then it would be very profitable for foreign shippers to set up a route from Florida to PR via the Bahamas. This would be 100% legal under the Jones Act and the fact that they haven't demonstrates that it isn't very profitable to try to undercut the current shippers.

The same for Hawaii, all foreign ships have to do is stop in Ensenada and then they can go to San Diego or Longbeach and it'd be 100% legal under the Jones Act. Foreign-flagged cruise ships are already doing exactly this.

Also live animals nearly always travel long distances by air. Putting them on a boat for a long sea voyage means you have to make provisions to feed and care for them, which eliminates any potential cost savings.

Most of the examples I gave above are core syntax forms. They are defined in the language grammar and are not function calls or macros. See the Racket language reference [0]:

> A core syntactic form[] is parsed as described for each form in Syntactic Forms. Parsing a core syntactic form typically involves recursive parsing of sub-forms, and may introduce bindings that determine the parsing of sub-forms.

top-level-form = general-top-level-form
| (#%expression expr)
| (module id module-path
(#%plain-module-begin module-level-form ...))
| (begin top-level-form ...)
| (begin-for-syntax top-level-form ...)

general-top-level-form = expr
| (define-values (id ...) expr)
| (define-syntaxes (id ...) expr)
| (#%require raw-require-spec ...)

expr = id
| (#%plain-lambda formals expr ...+)
| (case-lambda (formals expr ...+) ...)
| (if expr expr expr)
| (begin expr ...+)
| (begin0 expr expr ...)
| (let-values ([(id ...) expr] ...)
expr ...+)
| (letrec-values ([(id ...) expr] ...)
expr ...+)
| (set! id expr)
| (quote datum)
| (quote-syntax datum)
| (quote-syntax datum #:local)
| (with-continuation-mark expr expr expr)
| (#%plain-app expr ...+)
| (#%top . id)
| (#%variable-reference id)
| (#%variable-reference (#%top . id))
| (#%variable-reference)

See section 1.2.3.2 which specifies the expansion steps. Note that the expansion model differentiates between handling transformers aka macros and core syntax forms.

To be fair, it seems that Scheme (R5RS) considers some of these forms to be "derived expression types" and specifies their definition using `define-syntax` [1]. However, its core syntax forms still include the following [2]:

expression = variable
| literal
| procedure call
| lambda expression
| conditional
| assignment
| derived expression
| macro use
| macro block

... and there's a whole sub-grammar for specifying transformers (macros):

<transformer spec> =
(syntax-rules (<identifier>*) <syntax rule>*)
<syntax rule> = (<pattern> <template>)
<pattern> = <pattern identifier>
| (<pattern>*)
| (<pattern>+ . <pattern>)
| (<pattern>* <pattern> <ellipsis>)
| #(<pattern>*)
| #(<pattern>* <pattern> <ellipsis>)
| <pattern datum>
<pattern datum> = <string>
| <character>
| <boolean>
| <number>
<template> = <pattern identifier>
| (<template element>*)
| (<template element>+ . <template>)
| #(<template element>*)
| <template datum>
<template element> = <template>
| <template> <ellipsis>

Being able to write or evaluate Scheme fully requires an understanding of all of these distinct syntax forms.

> But normal people also don't have huge amounts of money and time to spend on sending someone to the parliament to speak for their interests

I call my Senators and Congressperson. I go to monthly neighborhood political meetings. (I'm often the only person under 40 not running to become, or be promoted, as a judge.) From time to time goes above and beyond for a (usually first-time) candidate.

I'm in a startling minority. Despite living in a Congressional district in the middle of Manhattan, I am often the only one to call regarding issues like encryption, the TSA or nominations. Several times, the SLA copied themselves in and requested follow-up conversations or copies of articles or papers I referenced. On a small handful of occasions, a publicly-announced position was backtracked on.

A minority of the population understand the long-term implications of what the record labels are doing. A minority, the labels, stand to profit. If only one side is giving representatives talking points, they don't need donations or promises of cushy jobs to win votes. They just need to hold their monopoly on the information vacuum informed citizens cede when they sleep between elections.

None of this takes money nor a ton of time. It takes some effort, however, which is apparently enough.

So in the beginning you could mine bitcoin on a computer but as the price went up to continue mining and pay for power you need better hardware. I believe he just set up the machine to autopay the electricity bill as it mined so he essentially lost his bitcoins paying the bills. Basically there was no payout for mining on the same hardware as time went on.

Have no love for Facebook but: The Guardian would publish this wouldn't they?

This is a good idea by former editor (1975-95 [1]) Peter Preston: move The Guardian back to Manchester from London and trim the wage bill in the process. [2]

Perhaps then they might slow the cash burn of their Scott "Trust" endowment (£838.3m 2015) ... [3]

Also, if they weren't quite so London centric they might be less surprised by "events" outside their Facebook bubbles like Brexit and Trump.

I write the above as someone born in London, but now an expat (Japan) who voted against Brexit, but wasn't surprised or offended that others didn't.

The ShowDVTDebugMenu setting no longer works for public releases.

Run "defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDESourceKitServiceLogLevel 3" then clean your project and allow it to re-index. The log will be written to /tmp.

Locate the failing invocations in the log. Copy and paste them to terminal and run manually (in some cases you may need to substitute libclang for clang, etc). You should see the full error output.

The majority of autocomplete/indexer failures are actually sloppy includes, bad module maps, and other errors where the build system or compiler is more forgiving of the bad input. In some cases switching to the new build system will expose the errors.

* Make sure your includes are correct (frameworks should be using angle brackets and include the framework name).

* Make sure you don't have non-modular headers in modules (CLANG_ALLOW_NON_MODULAR_INCLUDES_IN_FRAMEWORK_MODULES = NO).

* Make sure you aren't relying on implicit imports, eg: If a header references CGSize make sure you're importing <Foundation/Foundation.h>. If using uint8_t, import <stdint.h>. Sometimes you can get away with being sloppy here and build but it still breaks the indexer.

* Make sure you have clean well-defined module maps. Use explicit @import syntax in Objective-C - you might find that your module map was broken (Swift requires modular frameworks)

Yes, the main premise. Globalization has primarily benefited the poor, and to think otherwise shows a grave misunderstanding of history. International trade has toppled Monarchies, dramatically improved the living conditions in Africa and led to the most prosperous eras in history. The fact that in the past few decades, relative inequality has increased in Western nations is certainly unfortunate, but if you think globalization is a recent development in economics, then you shouldn't be writing for a magazine called the Economist.

Vagrant is definitely wonderful to quickly provision VMs across multiple hypervisors, but that's where I also see it as a hack.

It will not always replicate exactly what you need on each hypervisor, and so many times you will end up with something not working (example: synced folders with host).

I have always managed my VMs directly in KVM. Takes more time but I don't rely on a middle-layer//wrapper.
