I couldn't agree more. It's amazing how disconnected the building of software is from how it is funded.
What specific parts of SAFe do you find to be nasty?
haskell was C-bootstrap-able many versions ago, but you need the previous version to build the next from that point forward so it's quite a dance.

There is also no effort to maintain the "old" version as a strict "bootstrap" since everyone just has binaries of the previous version lying around. :)

Yeah, I think that's a fairly common issue (overspecialization). I have that problem with studying Japanese: I get most of my practice in listening, so I can listen to and understand at a level far above my speaking, reading, or writing.

You can do something very similar in plain JS using a sharedArrayBuffer and a webworker. A sharedArrayBuffer is a typed array in an area of shared memory that the worker and the main script can both access. It works really well if it fits your use case. I wrote a 'javascript snow' thing that uses it - https://github.com/onion2k/snowfall

I’m curious as to how they’re planning on tracking price of the underlying (in this case BTC itself).

I disagree with you, but since your comment appears to be thought-out and made in good faith, I upvoted it to counteract the downvotes it's getting.
> "Go compiler is fast when you add the `-i` flag", ok, do that then

Only useful when you have mutable environment, most build spaces don't have it because it's insecure. So it's useless for big projects with external dependencies, you HAVE TO download them on each and every build.

>your build is broken": you only need to depend on external github references

Go projects use not only github repos, there is gopkg, gitlab and some others which I don't remember. All of them must be online and works fast, any lag will delay whole build system, which in many cases is pipe-lined. I can't imagine anyone interested in stability wants this.
Right. I'm not arguing this. What I'm arguing is that blaming all Boomers for these issues is silly. Not all Boomers are in control of the government. Not all Boomers pushed for farming subsidies or pushed manufacturing to China. Not all boomers were white or lived a solidly middle-class life.
I've updated the title to try to be a little clearer on that point. (It confused me as well when I first saw it)
There is exactly one "millennial" in Congress, and you've probably never heard of her. I think it's fair to say "millennials" aren't voting on legislation, at least.

I used to think in terms of stories, but then I heard Tyler Cowen tell me a story about the dangers of stories, and now I don't think in terms of stories so much. (My story of personal growth.)

This article desperately needs a TL;DR.
I don't recall the exact answer (and it looks like others have already supplied info) but I saw someone explain it in detail once and wrap it up with a quote from the Star Trek reboot:

"It's like trying to hit a bullet, with a smaller bullet, while wearing a blindfold, riding a horse."
Couldn't the smart contract literally "burn" the funds in case of failure?

> If I had something in my pocket that I knew would become more valuable by systemic necessity, I’d save it as long as I possibly could.

I also save my USD “as long as I possibly can,” by which I mean “until I value something more than the USD it costs to acquire.” In practice, that very frequently ends up being relatively small purchases of things I literally need to survive and function in society, like food, rent, and clothing, but beyond that I try to save as much USD as I can despite it being nearly guaranteed to decrease in value over time.
Boomers are worse, a thousand-fold worse. I doubt there has ever been a generation more destructive, hypocritical, or self-unaware... I pray there is never another.
There is another danger related to your second point. If you can't completely control for the risk of a patient, then you create an incentive for doctors to turn away high risk patients. This effect has been observed in real life: https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/satterthwaite/R...
I remember I stopped frequenting /r/programming when it became this weird Haskell echo chamber. It was a bubble where a small but vocal faction inside the community seemed to over react to any criticism. They methodically and tirelessly responded to every comment with an endless litany of "facts" showing how Haskell could do anything from os kernels to game programming. They touted every industry mention of Haskell use and demanded evidential proof for any claim Haskell might not be suited for every situation. It reminds me of the Sea Lion comic[1]. I'm not sure if that faction still holds as much sway today.

I get the same feeling on Hacker News about Rust. There is a point where well-meaning evangelism does more harm than good. I sometimes get the feeling people spend more time writing defences of these languages than they spend time writing programs in them.

The article highlights the problem pretty well.

A lot of companies can't set up a proper audit trail or system inventory, how can we trust them with managing other people's sensitive information and infrastructure if they can't even handle their own properly?

> There is exactly one "millennial" in Congress... I think it's fair to say "millennials" aren't voting on legislation, at least.

No, this makes the assumption that all millennials would only vote for a millennial. That doesn't make sense. Millennials typically don't have as much political experience. Why would we vote for them?

Millennials don't need to be voted into office for their voice to be heard. That's the point of a republic, to elect representatives that reflect your _viewpoints_, not age.

I don't believe it's a trend. There were "sabbaticals" at companies I worked at in the 1990s. "Sabbatical" typically just means a longer-than-normal vacation that you don't get routinely and don't get until after you've worked at a company for a long time.

A specific subgroup of Boomers are still Boomers. So, yea it might not be every single Boomers fault equally, but that does not change anything it's still the Boomers fault.
When it comes to chronic cases I would think that the outcomes are more measurable. For example treatment of diabetes or Lyme's disease. Word of mouth, both from patients and other doctors, the internet etc. will work relatively well depending on one's ability to separate wheat from chaff.

Any physicians reading this - feel free to contact me, I'm looking for physicians for the long term for my own chronic, but relatively minor health problems. I find the average physician some what mechanical on how they approach a health condition and sometime (1)dismissive of my concerns/views. Since I'm somewhat inclined to dig into details of a health condition, I read up things on the internet and that means I may be more likely to question a doctor's recommendations.

(1)= I fully understand why they would normally do it. One certainly cannot entertain a patient who forms an opinion based on the first few articles that they read up on the web, which is what I presume most people do.
I problably sow what was in cache. Well parties in Brazil are not exact know for clear ideology. More like a union of people just trying to get elected.
Well, the only place I can see a clear set of ideas, and a litle of common goal its the PT ( workers party, if you are not from Brazil ).

The strange thing is, Brazilians is in most part conservative people, mainly in small citys, likely because the catholic background, but even so are problably the most unrepresented people in politics.
Beaglebone is not nearly as well supported as raspberry pi, but it is second. There are enough interesting things that I think more people should be using it instead of defaulting to raspberry pi. Depending on what you want to do the beaglebone is better supported than the raspberry pi (your are more likely to find kernel support for example)

Of course they have an agenda.

If you were to suggest that there is an agenda amongst the moneyed classes to keep corporate tax take low and restrictive regulation low then I would most heartily agree. There is overwhelming evidence that that is the case.

That there is a high level conspiracy to pit parent against child so everyone's too busy infighting? Extraordinary claims etc.
IMO, the key to this is to also increase your responsibilities and skill level - which sounds like the OP has, but some people ignore. It's the difference between a 10% bump and 2x-3x moves early in your career. I also think it's worthwhile to find a good company - growth and culture - and then negotiate well as tech and domain knowledge will make you less replaceable.

One thing that gets ignored on the west coast is how to specialize without hurting your career. In the southeast, we don't have endless tech companies, if you specialize poorly, you could get stuck with relocation being the only answer.

Do you use it? I have had it on one machine or another since around 2000, and I have by and large been pretty happy with it. Not every personality type will like it, and sometimes they do make odd decisions, but it is pretty well put together.

Another point about the *BSDs, something doesn't have to be in base for you to use it. The base system is supposed to be small and not have a lot of dependencies. You are free to use things in ports and packages or compile them yourself. So this is not the same as never being able to use rust.
I think this misunderstands the OpenBSD philosophy. The more likely it is "everyone else" disagrees, the more likely it is Theo is choosing the right course for the project.

The system being secure is a secondary benefit to it being comprehendible and coherent to an individual. It's not enough for the output of a magic box to be a better widget, even if the widget is better in every measurable way. The box itself must not be magic.

This isn't "right" or "wrong". It's simply a stance that values an individual's ability to understand their computing device from top to bottom.

Rust is an amazing and wonderful piece of technology, produced by a great investment of energy by brilliant minds. I'm incredibly grateful it exists and look forward to it's continued development and adoption.

But I'm not brilliant, and I don't have a lot of energy, and so I'm also grateful there exists an operating system I can understand, and other people who continue to work to make that operating system useful.

Much open source technology is created by people with a financial incentive for others to use it. That's fine. OpenBSD is written by people who want to use it. It's usefulness to others is coincidental. That's fine too.

I'm glad there is so much money funding the development of open and free computing innovations. The world is a much better place for it.

But there isn't a lot of money funding the rest of the unix philosophy besides the "open" part, like the parts about composability and anti-monolithic design. Because those things are not valuable in financial terms, and are potentially even destructive towards the purpose of capturing value at all.

I am grateful there is a small radical free operating system defending our freedom from monoculture.

And I'm similarly glad for their defacto antagonism towards proselytizing of all kinds, even if that proselytizing is done with good intention, and even if that proselytizing turns out to be right.

That's why you need to show them the code. When you show the code, it means you understand. Until you understand, you're not free.

At least, this is my interpretation. I'm not affiliated with the project in any way. Just a fan.
Atleast with an ICBM you are talking about velocities that are still close to suborbital, ie over a kilometer per second, Quora sets the terminal phase velocity at 30'000 kph (around Mach 30, pi by thumb, of by around 20%)

Hitting something that is moving at Mach 30 towards you is already hard. Especially considering this thing moving towards you is also burning up in the atmosphere, thus you only have that bright spot which will be larger than the actual missile core. However, if it's moving exactly (or almost) at you, it's not impossible but still hard.

If it is not moving towards you but rather along your view, you have to match a significant portion of it's speed, which basically means building a ICBM to hit another ICBM. And going that fast takes a while.

If it's moving away from you, you can always give up.

American Bison are an example which sheds light on the problem. The Bison in the commons were exploited to near extinction, but the Bison on private ranchland are plentiful today.

The problem is not commercial fishing or commercial hunting, the problem is a lack of ownership. If you have no means to prevent others from overexploiting a resource, then you have no incentive to protect it; If you don't own the resource and nobody will stop anyone from exploiting it, your best move is to join in exploiting it at whatever rate humanly possible.

They took the risk, gambled on Bitcoin when others were too afraid to. They were rewarded for their gamble. Seems fair to me.
That argument can be extended to black people. Blacks statistically commit more crime than whites in America. It's still bad to say that black people are violent, because it's a broad, presumptuous generalization that ignores the forces causing that trend. Along the same vein, it's bad to assume that an entire age group is bad just because some currently run the country.
This is funny. No one is posting any evidence that they did.
Worse than that: if all hospitals were functioning perfectly, we would expect to see exactly a bell curve due to small random variations adding up.

A bell curve is not evidence that anything is wrong, and in fact it could be taken as evidence that everything is fine: a bell curve suggests that no hospital is doing remarkably badly.

So this part of the article makes it into the headline despite telling us nothing, and reduces the credibility of the whole thing.

This particular board is a subset of the larger boards in the Beaglebone family. Boards like the Green include wifi, and the superset/parent board Black has USB host ports, HDMI output, and Ethernet connectors.

The Black has open-sourced schematics that can easily be edited into your own project. The Beaglebone design philosophy (start with this design and expand on it) is slightly different than the Raspberry Pi one (shoehorn it into whatever you are doing)... which is exciting to embedded developers but confusing to people that have only worked with the RPi.

You've got the causal relationship flipped. Gold isn't valuable because it's used in jewellery. It's used in jewellery because it's considered valuable.

There was a time when we hadn't the technology to produce aluminium in significant quantities like we do in today's factories, and it was more expensive than gold. And for that reason, it was used in jewellery, expensive cutlery and even the Washington monument.

Gold is mostly valuable for its scarcity and the way our culture has used scarce metals as a store of value, not because of its intrinsic value as a metal.

Today we can create artificial scarce tokens digitally, before using a centralised party to manage the ledger, today in a decentralised manner. Who knows whether gold's status will last, or in fact bitcoin's. Perhaps the noble notion of decentralisation won't be valued by markets in the end, perhaps there's no reason to respect one token's value for its scarcity when you can programmatically create a million clones on a single computer.

I've been a bitcoin enthusiast for half a decade, but the past few years I've seen a major decline in genuine interest in bitcoin other than as a get rich quick scheme. We used to have lots of cool and fun things going on, now it's bland and boring. People forget bitcoin's only value is its decentralised nature, yet the price increases don't reflect any significant growth in capturing the value of decentralisation, at all.
