I can't tell if you are being sarcastic, but because the format and transport were fixed, it enabled the creation of many clients, some of which had some incredible useful innovations.

Today this innovation has moved to the myriad of proprietary alternatives (like Slack or our very own HN) but they are closed worlds so not only can nobody create a new client, we also loose all the contents if the company dies (which isn't rare).

First off, the Gini coefficient has a shit ton wrong with it. A country would score better if everyone was poorer, but equal, rather than wealthier but unequal. I for one would choose the later, even if I'm not one of the top earners.

I vaguely remember reading that the physiology of acetaminophen is still not completely understood. I doubt we will be lucky to figure this one out quickly. I also remember reading that the level of dementia in India is much lower than western nations and turmeric was thought to be part of the reason for that.

Your analogy is close but flawed in a major way.

The underlying assumption when hacking is that if you don't understand the internals of something that's ok, but you can rely on understanding the interface, and your manipulation of the interface is skilled enough that you can get the results you need.

In this case, we don't even remotely understand the interface or manipulating it.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned here that there's been research on using Turmeric as an antidepressant. It's known to increase BDNF in the brain, the same protein generated during aerobic exercise. BDNF is one of the reasons exercise is so beneficial for mental health.

"Antidepressant-like effects of curcumin in WKY rat model of depression is associated with an increase in hippocampal BDNF" (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016643281...)

Perhaps, but it's pretty easy to make judgements from the sideline about what people should or shouldn't do.

I was the PM on Visual Studio. I can assure the things I showed in Light Table weren't there. Nor were they in Eclipse, as I studied that as well. You can pick and choose any number of things from our work over the years and say "Hey, but this looks like that" - I'm sure it does, but the question is does it work like that? Does it enable you the way the things we showed did?

> Light Table was also ultimately abandoned before completion.

Unfortunately even after paying ourselves only just enough to live in the area (around 40% of what my peers were paid), we needed to find a way to eat. No software is ever done, but we had more than 40,000 people using it and Light Table was a stated influence on tools at Apple, Google, and Microsoft. We did our best. Was there more to do? Of course, there always is, but at some point we had to make the hard decision to leave LT in the hands of the community. I'm curious what direction you think we should've gone instead?

> Perhaps Granger should rein in his ambitions somewhat

Maybe, but at the same time, we had people willing to let us try. You paid literally nothing for access to our work, nor to the effects our research had on others, so I'm not sure why there's this much negativity here. We need people testing the fringes because where we are is so far from where we could be. Lots of things did work in Eve and there were cases where we were so much more efficient it hardly felt like we were "programming" at all anymore. We've shared everything we've done and we'll continue telling more people about it in the hope that others can benefit from what we've learned.

And yet you're the one acting hurt, while I'm the one having to shutdown the project. That's very different from the HN that rallied us to do our kickstarter in the first place - the one that encouraged innovation and trying to do crazy things in the off chance that they work. There's so much more to do and I sincerely hope HN doesn't become so cynical and demeaning that it's not worth sharing people's efforts here.
Well the more careful claim it that none of the violations were that bad and definitely not enough to justify regulation across the board, Stratchery sketches out that argument reasonably well.

I think it's broadly true that the internet was not, in fact, a dystopia during those times.

Causal factors don't seem to be a road to avoid discrimination.

If we're looking at causal factors for classic examples of potentially discriminative classifiers e.g. loan default risk and crime reoffending risk, then no matter how you slice it the important causal factors for these things aren't only the objective measurements and things under your control but also different factors of influences, upbringing and cultural values. They're not the cause, and likely not the majority of the cause, but they're certainly a non-zero causal factor.

Having "bad" friends is not only a correlation, but a causal factor that affects these things - we're social animals, and our norms are affected by those around us. Would we consider fair to discriminate people in these ratings because of the friends they have? Do we want to ostracize e.g. ex-convicts by penalizing people who associate with them (so motivating them to choose not to associate), even if there's a true causal connection of that association increasing some risk?

Abuse of alcohol and certain drugs during pregnancy is not only a correlation, but a causal factor for these things (the mechanism IIRC was an decrease in risk avoidance and intelligence) - would we consider fair to discriminate people in these ratings because of what their mothers did?

Etc, etc - I have a bunch more in mind. And on top of that, many of these things will (in USA) be highly correlated with race for various historic and socioeconomic reasons, so taking that into account would still harm some races more than others. It seems that it just might be the interest of everyone just to avoid that huge can of worms.

It's common practice for anyone called to testify before congress to request a closed session if they believe their testimony will violate their oath of secrecy. Clapper did not. Instead he testified before open congress and lied, which was unnecessary, unless he was guilty of the charges in question -- knowingly directing NSA staff to spy on Americans, which the NSA's charter explicitly disallows.

Therefore Clapper deliberately misled authorities in order to escape prosecution for a crime.

That is the very definition of perjury.
They decided to choose a closed, often tribal cultures for comparison. We can assume they behave as most of us do, mate within the group mostly.

no we dont ... people became good programmers with the tools we have ... actually people become good programers inspite of the tools (they build the tools with the languages and ide's they have)

Im not trying to lower the bar ... I want something better than these hacker rank games challenge site that distinguish the good from the bad

if you can become good with what we have now, you are not good, you need to spend time and practice

if you need a tool to become good , then what do you call the guys that are good anyways?

Programming is not ment to be easy its a very deep and very broad profession

I go the opposite route , we need more certs in programming , im not worried about the script kiddies who cant hold more than 2 states in their mind. I want to make it harder to enter programming so I dont have to reteach people cs ideas when they graduate from hacker rank.

I want quality , not quantity from my programmers. Its not flipping burgers ... but thats exactly what these 6 week courses are touting

> Note that I’ve not said — as it often is said — that a quantum computer has an advantage because the availability of superpositions hugely increases the number of states it can encode, relative to classical bits. Nor have I said that entanglement permits many calculations to be carried out in parallel.

I'm really glad to find they did not go for these usual pieces of pop-explanations, and even called them out as not really capturing the essence of quantum computing. It takes courage to not hide behind these inaccurate descriptions, and instead just give the unsatisfying truth that there's no simple layman level description beyond "quantum mechanics somehow creates a “resource” for computation that is unavailable to classical devices"; at least not with today's easily available mental models[1] we have from classical computing.

Your comment is inconsistent with itself.

If LightTable's features "had been standard in IntelliJ, Visual Studio, and even Eclipse for years", how is that evidence that Granger et al were being overly ambitious? Wouldn't it suggest exactly the opposite?

Vice-versa, if LightTable was overly ambitious, wouldn't that mean it tried to do things that were (too far) beyond the scope of existing technology?
What if programming is just hard?
Exactly what I was thinking while reading the OP. It seems like it'd be possible to add alignment checks either manually via cast-operators or automatically via the compiler. Rust could at a minimum display a warning "possible alignment errors" when emitting that kind of LLVM IR.

Many Chinese that I knew in Beijing had bad bouts with acne with little western food in their diets. I bet it has more to do with pollution than diet in their cases.
Someone born in 1890 like Lovecraft would have been educated in the early 1900s where it was all about the White Race superiority to all other ones (check school books of the time) on top of hundreds of years of such thinking, so my guess is that you'd find people thinking like Lovecraft pretty much everywhere in his time. And regarding antisemitism, it's not like Lovecraft was an exception, antisemitism was rampant in early 20th century. So while Lovecraft was vocal about it in his letters, I doubt his peers and folks of his time would have very, very different.
lz4 and zstd are complementary, not competitive. lz4 targets applications where extremely fast decompression speed (and compression speed) are required, at the expense of compression ratio. However, many applications would prefer to spend a bit (or a lot) more CPU in exchange for better compression, while maintaining fast decompression speed.

It got much better when she was in Australia on Working Holiday, when she worked outside on a farm and was eating a more Western diet, she was less stressed, and the air was less polluted. Our agreed plan is to try to move to another country (probably New Zealand or Australia, perhaps Canada) anyway, which should solve my nationality issues and her health issues.

This question doesn't deserve the downvotes its getting.

Some people can and want a job that feels like a hobby, but some people like to compartmentalize and want their job to definitely be engaging, but don't necessarily want that love affair hobby becoming a career. My last career was like this, I loved doing it as a hobby and thought I could parlay it into a career. More than 10 years later I hated it and was running at full-sprint for the door.

But I definitely understand that some people can make this work, and make it work phenomenally. Some people just don't want that level of overlap.
And what's the problem with that?

It's definitely the most developer-friendly language that heavily borrows from their functional F# language.
