I can choose not to care (I'm not a Linux kernel developer), and this may not be representative of his communication on the whole (although there have been other examples). This kind of language is however not good leadership IMO, and will backfire, because it is grotesquely insulting to the highly intelligent, capable and mature individuals who are the targets of such attacks. In my experience, the only people who may get away with such are dictators, authoritarians and thugs (and then only for a while). So don't try this at home, if you ask me.

Private money spent on applied AI doesn't replace public money being cut from basic research into AI -- or anything else.

Already, the centers of the deep learning universe are in Toronto and London, neither of which is in the United States. France is starting to have a competitive advantage in climate science by promising American scientists the French won't strangle their funding forever, thus exerting a brain drain.

The United States can either feed its brains at the K-12, university, and research science levels, or those brains will go work for someone who promises to fund them and let them do their jobs.
> 2047 is a composite number with factors 23 and 87.

This is another error (though this one is actually in the article). The factors are 23 and 89.
Well, for one thing, it really shortens the discussion if you take advantage of it. For all languages that require arbitrary code execution in that language at compile time in order to be parsed, parsing therefore is Turing complete and therefore has all properties of Turing completeness, including undecidability.

I can buy that. I didn't know there were issues at RTG. The point about OEMs not switching quickly is also a reality. It still seems really strange. The next move could be nVidia making their own high performance CPUs to integrate with their GPUs. Think risc-v here, they've already embraced it and the potential and freedom to innovate are wide open.
>The "Divide" in the US is Inner-City Schools and poor Rural Schools. If you look at the rest of America's schools they are among the best in the world.

There's another way to put that: America's well-off suburbs have very good schools, but most of America does not. We need some numbers on the concentration of school-age children into good suburban districts versus "bad" inner-city and rural districts.
What utter bs. Americans are worried about whatever the media holds up. "Now fear this!"

I am also in whole-hearted agreement with Linus, here. In fact, I ran into this just recently. I discovered one of our systems at work actually stored encrypted passwords rather than just hashed ones, and decrypted it for validation. Yuck!

Of course, I put a fix and a database migration in place as soon as I could and all is well now, but this worries me. It worries me because it must have been done out of ignorance (bad) or intentionally (worse) and billed as a feature or something. Neither of these things are mere bugs. This gaping flaw wasn't introduced by accident.

NYC’s subway system doesn’t see improvement because upstaters are conservative and aren’t going to benefit from it. The wealthy boomer republican districts believe that expanding public transportation into their towns will bring in the undesirable poors, and also oppose allocating funds to projects that don’t benefit them directly.
I think that's a valid point on its own, but attacking Microsoft's browser was attacking their future belief about where things were going and preventing them from colonizing a space that may become popular in the future. Actually breaking up Facebook is a different proposition; we'd never be able to tell it wasn't necessary because the post-breakup world would be too different for us to ever know that.

We can't even compare to hypothetically breaking up Microsoft, because we could and probably still would have broken it up along product lines. Facebook is definitely more like Standard Oil in the sense that there isn't such a clear line to break the company up on.

Another difficult aspect of this problem is that the oil companies had physically distributed employees. Who is going to be assigned to the part of Facebook responsible for Florida? (Does Facebook even have any non-SV offices? Honest question, I have no idea.) The newly-created business to serve "the Southeast United States" without being located there is going to face some headwinds as the Baby Faces diversify. There's also some good questions around how to prevent one of them from simply winning in a way that a Michigan Baby Bell customer couldn't just decide to use Pacific Bell.

Those are metrics for how we might identify something as a collapse, the author seems to be saying something else namely that there wasnt a collapse in the mind of the people back then, instead some power structure slowly erroded until a new one took over. Its fuzzy no concrete no matter how we define it, the life lived and the recorded history are two very different things.

There are reviews around the web about it and you can buy one on Amazon. I have not do it yet for the price is still high at 1200$

I also met with a great manager from the Taiwan Eink company. Eink technologies (for they have several similar ones) are mechanical based which implies many constraints.

For the stories the MIT guys who develop it spend around 20 years on it before passing the baby on to the Tawain based company.

Except Amazon, most big companies are not pushing it, I guess because pictures and videos are so prevalent nowadays.
I had an interesting conversation once, in a Scala meetup. I was talking with someone about SBT being a gigantic pain in the ass, and their faire point was "I like SBT, it's better than Maven !".

While SBT might be better than Maven for the long Scala compilation time, it's nowhere near the user-friendliness of more recent build tools in languages like Go, Rust, Javascript, or [put your favorite lang here].

It strike me how close the Scala community is to Java's.

The process used in academics looks very similar. Someone write a dissertation and several other papers. Someone question the conclusion. An audience/council/board either support the author, or the disputant.

It is not fair. The default is a negative, and its up to the author to convince everyone to add specific information to the global collective. It is also susceptible to attacks from popular opinion, which is a common theme for practically all major breakthroughs. Being "right" has a long history of not being enough at the short time, while social cliques has a long history of allowing the "wrong" facts.

The question however remains: what is a better process? If they had the HN models, your edit could just as easily be downvoted by that "guy" and his support. They could abandon the deletionism model but then limit google/wikipedia search to only show articles that has been approved by the "featured article" process, but which would result in zero traffic for most articles and effort spent on Wikipedia.
Yeah, Perl was released in late 1987, Python in early 1991.

So the design of Python wouldn't have been influenced by long experience with Perl.

I am not suggesting you ingest the soil bacteria, for it to produce the B12 inside your body. If you were to ingest small amounts of soil (on fruit or in water) it should already contain B12. I don't know why anybody would do that, if they could just take dirt (hehe) cheap supplements instead though.
which build tool does go have?
or JavaScript?
Rust, yes. but the others are more glue than a real build tool.
(and npm + gulp, grunt, webpack, browserify or whatever is way more painful than sbt, besides that there are better alternatives too all).
I am a fan of the _idea_ of only charging for cosmetics customizations instead of hiding actual game content behind paywalls, but the way that Valve and others have implemented it in practice is highly predatory, because nearly everything desirable is hidden behind an opaque wall of RNG instead of just put up for direct purchase for a known price.

This is how you end up with gambling addicts blowing thousands of dollars for a virtual in-game skin, and it has enabled a vast network of grey-markets gambling operations to fuel those addictions [1].

It can be difficult for normal people (who mostly just enjoy the gameplay and maybe once in a while splurge on a few dozen bucks to make our virtual avatars look nicer) to emphasize with people who have real gambling problems, but that doesn't make it any more ethical to exploit them so blatantly.

Hiding these gambling platforms behind the veneer of innocent-looking games also exposes gambling to a younger audience that's much more susceptible to predatory tactics often used by gambling platforms to build up their addiction. There are pretty good reasons why gampling is a regulated industry, and online games that employ these kinds of systems are way overdue for some oversight.

EDIT: Sorry I came off very grumpy, I apologize. I'll rephrase.

I think nuance isn't so much the issue here as much as it is mistaking the map for the territory. A flat earth model has it's uses. Primarily for human-scale travel and mapping. But the topology of a sphere is inarguably far better than a flat plane. And if someone was to make the same mistake with a spherical model, they'd get a lot further before things break down.
I am not sure if build scripts really need to be Turing complete. Wouldn't something like Dhall be appropriate?

Yeah true, it is used in some industries such as the space and flight industries, where you want to be sure your code is correct.

However it comes with a range of problems, and often its not worth going into the effort of formally verifying a contract. But with ether, the costs quickly outweigh the ptential losses.

If we want to play "wave the credentials" at each other, I minored in music composition, and my objection is a great deal philosophically deeper than "I don't generally like how atonal music sounds". There's a parallel world where atonal music is still explored but I wouldn't characterize it as "flinging music off a cliff". Atonality was merely when the cliff-jumping occurred.

I have neither the time nor the desire to fully explain my point in an HN post, but I would note that the music community itself has been asking questions in this direction in the last decade or so, if you want to follow up on it, as the academic music community asks themselves exactly how they got to where they are now, so disconnected from the rest of the world at large and so utterly irrelevant to almost anything musically occurring today. (Not just pop music; that is structurally inevitably insipid, really, so who cares, but irrelevant to anything other than their own very little world.)

> The fall, like the rise of a civilisation is a highly complex operation which can only be distorted by oversimplification

I agree with this and actually think the article does a decent job of arguing this case against the alarmist approach "X killed civilization A; let's put a lot our efforts in combating X now", which seems to be getting more and more common today.

> Any time you see population levels in precipitous decline, accompanied by a dramatic loss of technological and organisational capabilities, you are seeing evidence of some extremely unhappy individuals whose civilisations are, for them, collapsing.

It seems to me that you are switching definitions somewhat. I understood the article's "civilizational" collapse to mean a level of decline that, once the society crosses some Rubicon, is irreversible within a generation or two. If I understand your argument you are using collapse from personal perspective: enough people see their lives collapse or decline enough.

To me, that second definition is a lot less severe. If you look at Eastern Europe during the second world war (Cambodia of Pol Pot's times, etc. etc.) those events are likely to be viewed as a collapse by many people suffering through them, the civilization is not lost and society bounces back within at most a couple of generations once the stimuli are reset.
It is funny he mentiones Bazel in the article but some doesn’t consider Pants [1] at all.
For me, not just in a work context, Pants is a clear winner. Most SBT project already have a bit of mono-repo flavour: main and sub-projects. Pants brings this to the next level and and speed and other goodies on top of it.
Also, a lot of CI thinking has been put into the tool already so it’s a breeze to distribute the build across n shards ..

Their argument was that corporate interests and lobbyists would have proposed amendments that didn't serve to benefit the citizens of NY. Given that Citizens United is a thing, I can't blame them.

In 1986 or 1987 as a part of after school lessons I got access to a Soviet clone of IBM 360. Initially the only editor was something very similar to ed. After few hours I felt very comfortable with it. Typing programs in it felt like cool hacking. But then after an upgrade we got a screen editor. It was so much better with moving cursor around and updating/fixing PL1 sources. But the feeling of hacking disappeared.
I'm somewhat used to that, due to working in legacy / embedded / unpopular software areas :) Maybe I should do a writeup of some of the more significant investigations. Such as the six months spent (intermittently) on a bug reported only as "touchscreen sometimes stops responding".

In fact, returning to the car theme, I was recently able to save myself a considerable amount of money by using Youtube videos to disassemble my dashboard, re-solder the joints on the back of the instrument cluster, and re-fit it. The only difficulty was matching the video to the exact model of car. I didn't expect to find it, but there was a video with a few dozen views of exactly what I needed. Previously I'd have had to resort to Haynes manuals, which are excellent but not quite as good as being able to watch someone else do it.
Just to expand on what folks are saying with some stuff outside the world of quads - Brushless are stupid high power density but the ones without sensors (i.e. most of ones used in quads) have issues when transitioning between forward and reverse. For ground based systems with high inertial loads (or a fancy way to say "if I stuck this thing to a wheel and tried to drive a system around with it" you will need to tweak it to get it working. This is because of the way the startup for a BLDC motor works when using back-emf. Back-emf being caused by the magnets on the stator moving past the non-driven coils requires that the motor be moving to know where it is. The way most cheap BLDCs get around this now is by just giving the motor a series of high current kicks so the stator starts moving and it can know where it is. With low inertia loads (props) this works REALLY well. With higher loads it can result in cogging and having your ESC release the magic smoke.

All that being said - software is getting smarter and this problem is being handled. SimonK has options to make it work. But if you want a ground based system the easiest approach is a brushed motor because for those most part they "just work".
That is the fundamental problem with nuclear power. You can trust the technology but you can't trust the humans.

Probably won't quite scratch the same itch, but check out the Suburbia Board Game iOS app. It was a board game inspired by city building games that's fairly popular, that has since been converted to an iOS game. It won't make pretty cities, but it will give you some interesting choices, at least, and has multiple scenarios and levels you can play. It's only $3. No microtransactions, and if it has any DLC it's only going to be the expansions that came out for the physical board game.

I think that the scope of the interview should have been more explicit in such a case - up front, ideally: "this is a first-level interview, I expect it to take an hour and a half; if you're successful, we will get to the specifics in the next one." Without an introduction, an hour of general quizzes would seem excessive to me.

OTOH, if the recruiter reacted to this expectations mismatch with an equivalent of "no explanations are given", I would have bailed, too: the interview is a two-way street, and both sides are interviewing - "do I want to work in such a company culture as evidenced by the recruiter"?
New York in the last decade has had more legislative turnover due to felony conviction than a competitive election. Even republicans don’t get kicked out until they retire or get arrested.

I live in a particularly stagnant political subdivision, but I’d say in the last 20 general elections, there have been maybe 3 that had something more than nominal opponents. Usually it’s for things like county coroner. They are more affirmation than election.
