And it's wrong.

Nearly everything taught to you by Unix is wrong. The textual format convention is wrong because text needs to be parsed and unparsed, which is slow and error-prone. Moving objects with clearly defined APIs between programs is more performant and robust. To move objects between machines, use a binary format like Cap'n Proto, which requires no parsing. The only thing text gives you is viewability/editability with vi or nano; with a well-defined, open binary format, tools can be easily written to view and manipulate the raw data streams.

Unix's I/O model is broken because it has no intrinsic support for asynchronous I/O. The POSIX aio API sucks, nobody uses it, and it doesn't allow the single syscall check-for-data-and-kickoff-overlapped-I/O-if-not-found that's practically an idiom in Windows (at least not under Linux, where it's implemented in user space via helper processes).

The standard multiprocessing primitives in Unix are broken. fork() starts a new process with the same memory image, possessing the same system resources as the old -- convenient in 1979 but highly dangerous in the presence of threads. The correct approach would be to specify a new image to load and run, as in posix_spawn or Windows CreateProcess.

In short, fuck Unix and fuck the Unix Philosophy.

Nuclear weapons are even messier - fallout does not respect national borders. They are, arguably, harder for unauthorized persons to clandestinely transport and deploy, but not necessarily in terms of damage/effort.

Stealing poison gas shells from a WW1 army's stockpile, and setting them off in a city will kill hundreds of people.

So will stealing regular explosive shells, and setting them off. For some reason, though, nobody's eager to outlaw bombs.
And all of those points is why it is a poor currency. Great we can fork at any time and from any single transaction. So, we can essentially make infinite currencies. That's hugely wasteful and causes mass inflation. It makes it hard to invest, or even take seriously, a currency that may become worthless tomorrow. If you add some centralized backing, like with USD for example, you get way more clout. What would bitcoin be worth if it had government backing and insurance? I think it would be hugely more valuable and attract a lot more interest. As it is now, it is too speculative, and prone to wild swings in pricing. Also you get people who want it even more decentralized by making it ASIC resistant vs people (China) who want to keep it ASIC based to restrict access. It's just a mess right now.

That’s true, but pumping and dumping is indeed co sidered securities fraud, so there’s an incentive not to do it in the stock market. Cryptocurrencies aren’t considered securities by definition, so it’s open season to whoever would like to participate in market manipulation.
Agreed that transmission losses are real, but I would be amazed if mechanically transporting batteries down a road were more efficient than a wire. Consider the capital cost of adding miles to roads and tires vs. running electricity through wires. You’d also decrease speed of transmission and availability - both important when we are trying to distribute load across time and space.

I love it for both programming and scripting. It's probably not the best option a lot of the time, but I still find myself going back to write things in PowerShell. I don't find myself running into any of the issues you bring up in my experiences. Everyone has something specific they prefer, though. I find coming back to and reading foreign PowerShell to be quite natural, and rarely taxing if formatted well.

I can't pinpoint what I like so much about it either... It just draws me in well. It does devolve in readability when trying to squeeze out every drop of speed, though.

IPC is what I find to be the most challenging for me in PoSH, but I'm not sure if that's due to incompetence.

It is the same with Nuclear weapons. You can't control where the radiation is going to go. But again enforcement of the ban is only possible due to Nuclear weapons. A case in point is almost every first world country has stock piles of the stuff in case of a rainy day.

Then you're needlessly limiting yourself, as you'd very unlikely run into any verbal abuse.

If anything you'd have trouble getting code in because maintainer thinks it would add more complexity than is necessary, or would make his job harder in the future, or after writing and testing the code, you'd find out you should have been doing things differently, etc. These are much more probable ways to get discouraged from contributing kernel code.

There's a high bar to getting code in, and that can be frustrating. But it also keeps the mainline attractive to users and developers, because of ever improving code quality.

I personally think this monopoly is way more evil and insidious that ISP monopoly. It should bother us way more than net neutrality but for some reason it doesn't. I suspect because google and co are considered to be on "our side" and would be generally good for society.

>Have you factored in the energy costs of running the thousands of financial institutions and associated infrastructure required to maintain them?

I don't like this argument. It's garbage. Bitcoin does not replace the functions of the entire financial system. I can't take out a loan using the blockchain. Banks do far more then act as a ledger. Bitcoin's utility today is a little more than P2P value transfer. A centralized solution - something like Transferwise - does not use as much energy as Bitcoin.
Key phrase in my post "where applicable". Naval ships, humvees, tanks, and diesel trucks can all possibly use batteries. The grid can use batteries instead of peaker plants too (enabling more renewable energy sources to be used instead of coal).

But the F22 will still use oil--battery development is no where close to provide that level of energy-to-weight.

You seem to be arguing that we're talking about ALL oil production. But that's not true.. we're just talking about the 90+% that is used for transportation. Removing that--which if battery improvements continue absolutely will happen--oil will never see the demand it has in the past. It'll be relegated to a specialty fuel.
Meaning if Stepanov had not played with Ada for its first implementation, followed by Bjarne advocating him to use C++ instead, the STL would never happened in its form.

There is some. It's extremely difficult to pin this kind of thing down, unfortunately.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/311595274_The_Roeha... for example covers how gendered schools specifically tackle this, and though most students don't go to gendered schools it's still indicative.

There's other pieces here and there, but nothing conclusively stating "this is why there's a gender gap".

>Otherwise, my main point still stands that there are other factors in play during adulthood, besides systematic bias

There are definitely other factors in play - that's my point - and I don't think we can say it's inherent to the gender. Women being under-represented in STEM is actually a very western thing, most pronounced in the US and UK, and is significantly _less_ pronounced in many other countries. We don't know precisely why, but we do know the answer needs to be complicated and is unlikely to be "women are just naturally predisposed against science, but only in these countries."

I'd phrase it as "Programmers can write vulnerabilities in any language" :-)
One thing I think many people fail to consider is that, contrary to perception, we have entered into one of the most peaceful eras in all of humanity, and nuclear weapons are likely largely responsible for that peace. It's easy to fail to see the peace amongst all the war, and the media anxious to report for weeks on end about any violent event of significant scale.

However, look at things in terms of scale. 9/11 was considered an atrocious and unprecedented event. 2,996 lives lost in a matter of hours. Look at something like World War 2. In World War 2 the total death toll was around 75 million with a world population of about 2.3 billion. That's 248 million lives lost scaled up to today's population. Think about that. That would be the equivalent of a 9/11 event happening every single day for 83,555 days. Or a 9/11 event every single day for 229 years.

That sort of loss of life is completely unimaginable. And that doesn't even scratch the surface of lives lost. The Mongol Invasions in the 13th century killed off 35 million people. The colonization of America resulted in deaths that are difficult to measure but it was also in the high tens of millions at the minimum.

But today even if we look at places we ignore, like Iraq, the high end of the death tolls there are around 1 million. And a big part of the reason for the dramatic decline in war is because of nukes. If not for nuclear weapons we would have long since had a World War 3 as Europe, China, and the US vied to determine whose ideology would become the world ideology. And it's extremely possible we could have seen the first war with a death toll in excess of a billion. Instead we live in an era when a few hundred people being killed in one act is something that shakes the entire western world for months.

Mutually assured destruction may be MAD, but it demonstrates quite clearly peace sustained by self interest alone is vastly more effective than any peace built on words and promises.

> I had both an HTC One M7 and an M9, and while yes, unlocks are easy, that is only true if you buy directly from HTC. ... OTOH, if you wanted to use them on Verizon's network, you needed a Verizon-branded phone

So if you buy a HTC phone, it's easy to unluck? And if you buy a Verizon phone, it's hard to unlock?

How can you blame HTC for the shortcomings on a defective phone you bought from Verizon? That's like me blaming Lenovo for problems I have with the MacBooks and OSX at work.

It just makes no sense.
Thanks for the ideas. One thing I have wrestled with in the past is how to prevent exposing the third party site email credentials (credentials the page would utilize for accessing Sendgrid, etc.) if the emailing code were hosted in the local and observable JavaScript. With the current server solution, at a minimum the browser and CORS enforcement take care of attempted cross domain access ... which is probably just slightly better than nothing at all.
The challenge is not being able to write idiomatic ANSI C, rather trying to tame the compiler to produce code comparable to hand tuned Assembly to fit into those processors, the majority of time using compiler specific extensions.
> It is the same with Nuclear weapons

No, it’s not. Many weapons are messy. Many weapons are de-stabilising. Few are both. HEU is difficult to enrich, difficult to transport undetected and difficult to arrange into a working bomb.
Not necessarily, no.

Dopamine is involved in much more than enjoyment; importantly it is also spiked in "near misses" (think a card away from a royal flush) and excessive amounts are seemingly related to paranoia. And this is only from one of the pathways that dopamine affects; it is also linked to other aspects of cognitive function that play a role in attention and addiction (and various other parts of the brain).

Thus, a product that triggers dopamine responses isn't necessarily nefarious in and of itself. Indeed, an application that triggers dopamine response initially does so through mostly positive things (connecting with friends, sharing a story people like, winning at a roulette wheel). However, it's questionable when you start leveraging the power of dopamine to enforce attention, feed paranoia, and drive addiction; things like making sure people win often enough that they don't realize how much they're losing.
Skyfall and Solace are hoaxes
I think you and I merely disagree on the meaning of "niche" in this context, rather than on facts about usage of PowerShell.

I was simply saying that PowerShell doesn't serve a unique purpose in my environment that isn't better served by other languages or shells. "Niche" was short-hand for, "This language is particularly well-suited for this task or set of tasks", and I wasn't (intentionally) saying anything about its popularity.

All programming languages have a niche where they are strong. It is not a way of saying, "This language is obscure or not used a lot." It's a way of saying, "For the things I do, I can rule it out, because I don't need to do the things this language does better than others." From what I can tell, scripting (or, "automating", if you prefer that term) Windows is PowerShell's niche. I don't need to script Windows, so I don't need PowerShell.

In short: Saying PowerShell doesn't fill a niche I need to fill is not an insult to PowerShell or a statement about how popular it is. It's merely saying I don't find it suits my needs in my environment (which contains no Windows servers).

There's nothing wrong with pronouncing borrowed words with commonly accepted sound. That's the way with Jesus, Rome, Ptolemy, Confucius, and everything else.
