No, I am comparing the selection of a specific programming language, given the existence of tooling for a specific purpose.

I need to fulfil task X, with tool Y, then I choose language Z among those supported by Y.

Not I chose language Z, then try to find some kind of Y, that helps me solve X somehow.

When C++ came into the picture we got Turbo Vision on MS-DOS bundled with Borland compilers, Apple adopted Metrowerks tools and used PowerPlant, OS/2 promoted CSet++, UNIX guys were into Motif.h++.

Then came Windows, Borland pushed forward with OWL followed by VCL. Microsoft created MFC, adopted by Symatec and Zortech compilers.

Apple eventually went Cocoa, and Microsoft UWP as of latest.

And then there is Qt, literally the only game in town for C++ GUIs not related to any OS vendor.

Followed by what in possible in Java and .NET eco-systems.

All with good visual tooling support, allowing for productive workflows between developers and designers.

I am not saying that Rust some day won't catch up, and offer something similar in terms of productivity.

I hope it does, but right now in 2018 it doesn't.
Somehow I don’t really like the framing of this question. It simply takes an economic lens and misses the nuances that agency and morality bring to the table.

As the richest organization in the world I would argue that Apple is uniquely positioned to act and further their own goals and agenda – especially long term. If they felt that privacy was a cause to fight for... who could really imagine what could be done with those deep pockets? However, you will never get there if you employ a purely economic lens. Economics is a mostly value-free toolset you need to fill with assumptions to get any results.

For what it’s worth I see a stronger path in shaping/making the future than speculating about the infinite possible alternatives that are out there. So I would rephrase the question to something like:

Is security/privacy a worthwhile goal for Apple to pursue – not only economically but in general?

This question is imho a lot more tractable and you can get somewhere with it. For example, the current market climate and possible re-education cost you mention are really important aspects to consider – but they are not the only ones... people are not just pawns but capable of reasoning => we are interested in what SHOULD happen.
>Unfortunately, there are only fines for failing to delete obviously illegal content

This is not the case, there is no fine for failing to delete obviously illegal content.
Yes, maybe. Although I'm a little older than subjects of this article, coming of age on the cusp of the smartphone era but before Facebook and before any of my friends had even a half-decent camera in their phones, and already suspected that the social energy was much lower than it was for people a few years older.
My partner's mother was a little girl during World War 2, and told me that she remembers being at school with her gas mask nearby at all times. She told me how a bomb fell near her house in Dorking blew out all the windows, while another destroyed the railway bridge, presumably the one on Pixham Lane in Dorking.

She remembers the V1 bombs, the Doodlebugs, and explained that you were alright as long as you could hear the engine but if the noise stopped, you were in trouble.

My history teacher at high school also lived through the Blitz, being just a little older. I remember him telling the class about the bomb that fell near his house, and when he ran out looking for his parents he accidentally kicked a helmet which, he discovered, contained a head. He still had nightmares about it 40 years later, understandably.

I find personal histories fascinating, I wish I was able to hear them all, and visualize them to a degree. (Maybe not that last one.)
Citations would indeed be great. But why is it a counterintuitive result? If someone with a record faces a much harder time getting hired, then doesn't it make sense if they take extra care to hold on to a job once they have found someone willing to take a risk?

Hmm, this feels very misleading. What is the correlation between Github stars and real world usage? This is not statistics, it's just 1 variable.. It almost feels like Vue.js is going to take over React just because it received more Github stars? I use React already for years, never gave it a star on Github, and I think many with me.
That some people have been rejecting it since time immemorial doesn't mean those behaviours don't exist.

What I'm disagreeing with is this: new doctrines of consumerism that is <snip> making us all willing to use each other (apparently) for our short-term jollies.

It isn't the new doctrines of consumerism that are making us do this, it's human nature; we like to fuck.

So your argument ... isn't one.
I've seen the potential for hacking around HR requirements just with my own consulting, even though I don't need it. I have a company, but I'm the only fixed employee. If I need more, I bring in freelancers. But having a company suddenly made requests for my resume or references a rare occurrence.
The Rust Cookbook has made a start on this too! https://rust-lang-nursery.github.io/rust-cookbook/
`-C panic=abort` compiler option should have fixed the problem. If you want to be able to intercept panics, you need to provide implementations for `eh_unwind_resume` and `eh_personality`.
Actually... the most obvious case where large corporations make money off people using their services for illegal purposes - banks - require the bank to shut down the account if it appears the customer might be doing something dodgy. So there's definitely precedent.
Just like no language that compiles to machine code can create new x86 assembler instructions.

So sure, what Elm gives you can be done with just a framework, but it wouldn't be very productive. There is a reason why hardly anybody programs in assembler anymore (unless they have a good reason). Higher-level languages provide better abstractions, allow you to write more expressive code, are safer etc.
Eastern Slavic languages like Russian also give a similar vibe to this word ('shitter').

I don’t think this is a good explanation. Having played with Poser [0] as a kid a lot, my intuition is that extreme feature parameter settings usually look rather disfigured and unattractive. The chicken brain more likely forms two clusters [1] (one for each sex) and responds more strongly the closer the sensory input is to either of the cluster means. Average faces tend to look attractive, e.g. [2].

Another, related explanation might be Occam’s razor (the preference for simple things [3]): Beautiful things are beautiful because they are simple. They require fewer bits to be represented and brains prefer such representations. This is a fact that possibly also explains intrinsic motivation and our interest in art and science [4].

Another explanation might be that chickens have evolved abilities to recognize symmetric body shapes and a uniform skin texture for their own intraspecies visual (sexual) attraction. Sexual attraction to symmetry likely mainly exists because asymmetry is reliable evidence that growth hormone signaling was not only out of tune in some regions of the body (e.g. the face), but throughout the entire system and this is the root cause of all kinds of diseases (e.g. faster wearing joints) [5].

No, you wouldn't get the required compile time checks. (Transpile time checks in exact)
This is correct and unfortunately it has been twisted so much through public debate that nobody believes it. The fines are for systematically ignoring that law, not for singular mistakes they make.
You'd likely be right to do so. Murder actually has an extremely low repeat rate. Murderers does have a higher chance of committing another crime on release than people not convicted of a crime, presumably in part because of higher chance of unemployment and poverty, but most murderers are extremely unlikely to ever kill again as most murders are crimes of passion in extreme circumstances that are extremely unlikely to occur again.

Instead the geniuses at the department of education collectively shot us all in the face.

> Well then do you think no language that "compiles to machine code" really creates new language primitives, either?

No, because javascript isn't machine code, it's a high-level interpreted language. The metaphor of javascript as "bytecode" is just that - a metaphor.

>The compiler can do compile-time checks that wouldn't be possible if it were implemented as a library instead.

Fair enough, but it doesn't actually change the grammar of the language, because those new "primitives" have to be implemented in, and interpreted as, javascript.
In the words of Rob Pike:

"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt. – Rob Pike 1"

"It must be familiar, roughly C-like. Programmers working at Google are early in their careers and are most familiar with procedural languages, particularly from the C family. The need to get programmers productive quickly in a new language means that the language cannot be too radical. – Rob Pike 2"

So a language that makes it quite easy for enterprises to deal with developers as cogs.

I think “kak” would be better translated as “poo”. Parents will routinely talk to their kids about “kak”, similar to the way US parents will use the word “poo”. The word “shit” generally has a much stronger meaning (and is therefore often obscured, as “s..t” or something similar.

Okay, rereading the law, the fine is for not making a process available that guarantees (among other things) that obviously illegal content is deleted or locked within 24 hours unless a different deadline has been negotiated for that specific content.

The effect is the same: the easiest way to implement the requirements in the law is to default to deletion.
I think globally, most societies are follow this trend. My hope would be that we find a way through it. In part, the solution might be more even distribution of the benefits of automation. Less concentration of wealth, lowered cost of living or support which allows both parents to take time off work for the first few grads of their children’s lives.

Thus why the 80186 was mostly skipped in favour of the 80286, right?
Correct. Which is why you might want to read the full context of this discussion, which should then tell you that this is not about "Facebook just deleting a post", but about the state systematically incentivising Facebook to act in such a way that if the state itself acted in that way, that would obviously be a violation of your constitutional freedoms. Indirect action through a private entity does not make otherwise unconstitutional things constitutional.
Which is, in the broad sense, a subcategory of criminal law (as opposed to civil law).
For once, an article that doesn't stigmatize teenagers too much, but rather speak about society changes. Usually it's all about criticizing teenagers because they do this or that badly, but when they're better behaved, adults necessarily try to explain how that's wrong...

Haha, that was fun. First time around I was 55% American. Then 49% American. Then I did my best British accent (49% American, guess I can't ever become a spy in Britain) and my best American accent (88%, hah!).

I'm English as a second language, continental western-europe.

edit: tried British accent one more time and thought about it for a sec before doing it, changed the call and ask to do a British 'a' and got 99% British. It seems I'm destined for a life of spying after all!
I suspect that is because a typical mid west or west coast accent has a moving pitch with the word "call", typically down then up within the one syllable. The usual British accent has a monotone or a slight drop in pitch for the word "call".
This is terrible, that censorship is a law in such big European country.
Really, that's not exactly true. Normally, they only have to report suspicious behaviour. Many banks also choose to close accounts that they perceive as risky, and that in some ways is similar to this case, and for the same reason equally problematic.
It'd be neat to see this sort of idea integrated into some of those automated phone menus with voice recognition at some point.

I always end up handing the phone to my American wife and making her do it...
> No, because javascript isn't machine code, it's a high-level interpreted language. The metaphor of javascript as "bytecode" is just that - a metaphor.

This is a psychological distinction, not a technical one. There is no fundamental difference between machine code, byte code, or a “real” programming language. There were machines that executed lisp, and at the dawn of time people programmed in assembly. Heck, people programmed in machine code (punch cards) and assembly was a programming language!

Scala introduces a hell of a lot of “new primitives” over jvm bytecode, and type erasure compiles it all down to the jvm anyway. Or JavaScript, if you use scala.js.

This is, in fact, precisely what compilers do (or transpilers—again: psychological distinction, technically the same thing). That is their job, their function: translating from one language into another. As long as both are Turing complete, you can do anything.
Blockchains and the crypto craze
Amen...and that's how Bismark's Prussian super government whose bureaucratic super machine was the pride and glory of the Germans turned into Hitler's nefarious totalitarian regime more or less overnight. The same tools that ensure 'order and safety' become tools for 'suppression and conformity'. You would think the Germans, if any, would have learnt what totalitarianism feels like. But no, all they learned is that they just did not have the right totalitarian tools in the first place. It must be a cultural/mentality thing. Those who feel quite uncomfortable under such a system historically leave and tend to end up in... the US.
It's not about developer time. Get over yourselves. It is about how long the user has to wait for a page to load or a compute to finish.
And imagine this spreads to the rest of the EU because Germany is the role model for all others and we need to harmonize the laws and repress anyone that feels like not liking this european (german) culture and way of thinking.
GoPro History: Rise and Fall [YT]
I suggest people who believe censorship can stop hate speech take a little tour on China's social medias.

We had very strong censorship systems built by the government, but does it stopped hate speeches? No.

In fact, if you make people can only post & receives filtered info, then you are actually pushing them to an echo chamber. And an echo chamber is a very nice place for people to fermenting hate speeches (I'm not saying it will, but it could).

So in my opinion, hate speech is bad, but censorship is worse.

The problem must be solved in a different way, without introduce censorship.

I wouldn't be too pessimistic about a project just because the main author stopped pushing changes for one month in the holliday season. It also happened in August for the same project and work resumed later at a fast path.
I wouldn't say so: any pipe only allows strictly linear FIFO data transfer, but anything you could call "directory-like" surely allows random access - at least jumping to the start of any of the contained files.

I think, if you wanted a truly self-tidying temporary directory... you might be able to mkdtemp(), immediately chdir() into it then unlink() it, and thereafter work on the files within by relative paths only - as the directory's link count would be zero, it should get automatically cleaned up when the process exits. (Well, unless your program gets killed between the mkdtemp() and rmdir(), of course.)

... alternatively, you might also be able to mkdtemp(), opendir() then rmdir() it, then work on the files in it with openat() & friends. I can't see that being viable in shell scripts, though - too little support for dirfd-relative file operations.

Not sure if either idea would actually be allowed in practice, mind - I haven't tested them, either might fail at the rmdir() stage with EBUSY.
