I've done cross-platform development with Scala (JVM/JS). I'll tell you, with all the tooling support (sbt) that Scala has right now, it's not all that much easier than what you can do with Reason.

Typically, you get libraries like `foo-scalajs` and `foo-scala` which are basically cross-compiled from a single codebase which is divided into three major parts: common, JS, and JVM.

With Reason you can do the same thing (in fact people have). On top of which, Reason's functors (higher-order modules) allow you to write for multiple platforms in a very clean and decoupled way. They are a great, great boon for software engineering and folks like e.g. the MirageOS have used them to great advantage to target say the unikernel and Unix environments for their apps.
Take Lauren, for example, she's a super accomplished mech/aero engineer who also happens to be a really good host.

EDIT: Of course she's also involved in FIRST :P
Which of it's big cities aren't corrupt, though? This isn't just a localized problem, these people often end up in federal positions. Plus, there's a huge percentage of the population that lives in large cities. It's too big of a problem to avoid judging the U.S. as a whole by it.
I interviewed for the superlative job title “Spaceflight systems avionics software engineer”. Contrary to your experience, I found the process to be very casual. They told me not to bring my resume, but to put together a PowerPoint presentation about my life. For one of my interviews the interviewing engineer didn’t even show up and his boss came in later and said (paraphrased): “you made it this far so I guess you’re good enough” and had me go see the next interviewer. It did take them 2 weeks to get back to me with the “We want to make you an offer”-call.

My biggest surprise was that they were (and I assume still are) running Windows 7 on their dev boxes.
I have been thinking about this problem for awhile.

The short answer to your question is yes, it is possible. We have a prototype, called Amber, that establishes authenticity for audio and video recordings by fingerprinting and tracking provenance. Even if the video is cut or combined with other content, we can tell you whether it is the original (notwithstanding the edit in length). It is lightweight and needs the recorder to participate.

For most people and most video consumption purposes, it is not pertinent. But for certain companies and certain areas of the government, establishing fact or minimizing trust in visual/aural evidence is critical, especially when you have stakeholders who are independent or even antagonistic.

We are early stages and seeking to test it out with potential customers and their use case applications. The splash page is here: https://ambervideo.co and we hope to release the demo web / mobile apps soon.
I'm not at all convinced. Stackless coroutines have a statically-known fixed stack size, which can be treated as an anonymous type a la C++ or Rust closures. This is far cheaper and easier to optimize than any possible implementation of stackful coroutines, regardless of what your platform ABI looks like.

Like I said, stackful coroutines are a useful tool. They just can't be the only implementation strategy, especially in C++/Rust-like languages.
I've been using VS Code and WLS to execute the Ubuntu version of Rust from the bash console in VS Code. I'm not sure if this is a good method or not... but it feels very natural.

I'd go with "it takes a lot of money (relative to normal volume) to move the market, but it doesn't matter if it's one rich investor, or millions of tiny ones with the same idea".
The term "social safety net" or "welfare program" as applied to veterans' benefits doesn't seem appropriate for this discussion. After all, people who don't work for the military also have benefits, which are not considered welfare programs, so it's inconsistent to throw this category in.

Social Security and Medicare are not particularly redistributive, so I don't think it's appropriate to include them either. The terms "welfare" or "safety net" implies to me taking from the well off and helping a relatively small number who are in need.

However, few of us have access to enough engineers and security experts and other fancy computer wizards for digital security to make this comparison not stand. We do have access to the legal system which is freely available.
> I easily put in an extra 100 hours in a month.

There are around 700 hours in a month. Most people are already "working" (billable/salary/etc) for ~180 of those. Eat/sleep/travel/family/friends/life eats up a lot more. Fitting in a extra 100 hours of anything in a single calendar month will be extremely difficult for most people. If you have the spare time and money, I'm presuming you may be younger and not have a family that you have responsibilities towards (nothing wrong with that, and just an assumption). The majority of heads of households I know - even professionals earning decently - would indicate they have competing interests for $5-$10k on discretionary purchases.

You went from a 'low rate' of $100/hr to $50/hr in your examples?

I get it - $5k isn't a massive crippling amount of money for most western professionals. Most of those professionals would probably want the $10k pimped out version too, and that expense just isn't trivial for most individuals. Larger companies with equipment budgets and whatnot - less of an issue, for sure.
I take it you mean that as a rebuttal, because Thunderbird is still being released? At first I thought you were just offering another example of something cancelled, and I was pretty sure (but not positive) Thunderbird was still around. It is.
Wait. Not sure if I understand you correctly here. As far as I can tell, keeping stuff closed source is one of the biggest reasons people like SaaS model (you can't even in principle have Stallman-style free software in SaaS model), another big reason being full control over access and user data. I'm not sure how he was a key impetus behind that - in fact, all of his teachings were strongly against this, but people ignored it and now here we are.
Thank you (wow) - just saw an animation and had that a ha moment...
If you want to potentially develop for native, make sure to install the OPAM toolchain, it will give you access to the existing OCaml native ecosystem.

Reason is also easy to install from OPAM https://reasonml.github.io/docs/en/global-installation.html#...

Remember that BuckleScript is a separate thing which you can get any time with just `npm install --global bs-platform`
It's not that hard to work around that, you just pass a reference in on creation that gets filled on drop().

The exception case is much nastier and a lot less explicit.
Most likely the KYC laws themselves forced Sentinel to report this case. If he admitted in writing he accessed another user's confidential documents, that constitutes a data breach. Pretty sure Sentinel has to report that in order to comply with the regulations.
> You can't write a computer program with a bank account atm but you can with bitcoin.

Is that true? Surely there is at least one bank with an API? I don't see any fundamental reason there wouldn't or couldn't be. But maybe you're right that this sort of thing just isn't in the DNA of banks, while it's totally up the alley of the blockchain enthusiast programmer community. Still, I wonder: if this were to become a common and important thing, couldn't banks fairly easily add it to the services they offer?
I believe the major disruption waiting to happen in chip design is open source tools, and the hardware languages.

Frankly, the closed source tools are pretty awful from a user interface perspective. Under the hood, amazing things happen, but the tools are pretty awful to use.

and the languages... ugh, the languages. Our big leap forward was SystemVerilog. It's a bastardization of three languages: of 80's c++, 80's Verilog, and an interesting constraint solver in a distinct dialect.

We need (in my humble opinion):

* Open source high performance discrete event simulator (language agnostic, use an intermediate representation like a source mapped netlist)

* Said simulator, but distributed (multi core, process, data center)

* An ecosystem that encourages language development (Said simulator could help)

* An open source synthesis framework that can read the intermediate representation netlist.

* GUIs that don't cause eye hemorrhaging and monitor punching.
I see this assertion made about police thinking of themselves as "warriors" but I have yet to see this substantiated by evidence. It doesn't correspond to the rate of people killed by police (that rate essentially mirrors the overall rate of street crime).

I am even more dubious of the second claim you make. A US citizen has vastly better ability to attempt to exact justice for their own police force's actions than someone in northern Iraq or Afghanistan's tribal regions. Especially when the military is more likely to use indirect weapons and weapons with drastically longer range (artillery, airstrikes, etc.) the notion that an unnecessary killing is more likely to result in disciplinary action in the military is very unlikely - there's a substantial chance such loss of life isn't even detected.
No, recognizing the existence of sexist and racist stereotypes is not the same as being sexist and racist. Even if one incorrectly assumes that someone holds such stereotypical views.

YouTube is not ‘vastly’. Get back to us when it’s ‘vast’ among commercial content providers.

Contrary to your point about not watching on iOS, I, and everyone I know, watch all content on an iOS device, both in the living room and on the go.

There is certainly a segment of the market that is using misc devices or “casting” to USB sticks plugged into TVs, but the 4K TV owning cord cutters I know tend to also own iPhones and use Apple TVs.

We saw this shift happen even more when iOS (and TvOS) gained SSO across apps with the “TV” app as indexer, and another bump when Amazon Prime released.

Right off the top of my head the medical data from long term space exposure will be absolutely critical to any future journeys. And I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to perfecting long duration systems design, technology proofing, etc.
It's not in orbit around Earth, and won't be visible from Earth. As soon as it boosts out of its parking orbit, it will be orbiting the sun between Earth and Mars.

Also, there is not any danger of stuff "crowding" out there because the amount of space between Earth and Mars is really quite extremely huge.
Your opinion is perfectly justified and certainly not harming anyone, no need to apologize for it!
Typically the main thing in anti-hacking laws is intent more than actual actions. So if a person by accident causes the system to fail, then they are not guilty, but if they intentionally input something that breaks things then they are guilty. These can be technically very similar events, but legally worlds apart. And if your input is 'or 1 = 1 then that is fairly strong indicator about your intent.
I live in Chicago.

...Which should be enough of an answer if you have ever lived in Chicago, but suffice to say, temperature here ranges between -10 and 110, and has the incredible ability to swing 50 or 60 degrees in one day. And my favorite situation can happen where my house is too warm but it's too cold outside to safely operate the air conditioner...

Anyways, fire and forget doesn't really work for my thermostat, I need one I can monitor and control, especially if the weather changes unpredictably here. One of my pets in particular is extremely sensitive to temperature, and I actually have a secondary thermostat monitoring the temperature by my pets, which can swing a good 6-8 degrees from the temperature at my master control.

Today I had a power outage at home. I got notifications, the computer controlling my home (and my router and modem) are on UPS, and remained online. I was able to remote in and verify that after the outage my thermostat was where it was supposed to be and doing what it was supposed to.

I also have had a computer light on fire before, so I'm pretty wary of fire concerns. My computer monitors my home's smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and notifies me as well. While there's no chance my pets might still be alive by the time an outside party notices something wrong in my home, there's a reasonable chance I could call the fire department and they could intervene before all of my pets perished.

> I recall a similar case where the person who found a vulnerability in a banking site was shocked that legal recourse was threatened. They were later shown to have enumerated all possible account details.

That still leaves us in the position where they were better off stealing the details but keeping quite about the vulnerability. We really need to move to a point where there are zero disincentives to disclosure.

That bank deserves everything they get next time there is a problem.
Does anyone have an IPFS mirror yet?
It doesn't correspond to the rate of people killed by police (that rate essentially mirrors the overall rate of street crime).

That's not an accurate characterization. Suggested reading: https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Warrior-Cop-Militarization-Ameri...

I am even more dubious of the second claim you make. A US citizen has vastly better ability to attempt to exact justice for their own police force's actions than someone in northern Iraq or Afghanistan's tribal regions.

A deployed soldier may be more likely to succeed in hiding the evidence of crimes they commit. They'd better succeed, because that's the only way they'll escape punishment. The differences come into play when the rogue cop or soldier is actually caught. Military personnel are held to higher standards than civilians in many respects, while police continually demand to be held to lower ones.
I attribute that to strong judgmental attitudes towards people for making mistakes, not fitting in, etc. It creates a nasty feedback loop that has taken society a lot of time to overcome and we're not all the way through.

I totally agree. We will be pursuing both approaches. HTMLTexture requires consensus and coordination with other browser vendors to come up with a sensible standard and it will take a bit of time. Alternative ways to render page information using WebGL can be explored today.

For the record, I am not accusing the parent of bias. I'm simply pointing out that bias often manifests indirectly. The core problem with bias is that it fundamentally is about the unconscious mind, and is not generally based on ill will. That doesn't make it any less real, or any less damaging.

We all have biases. The important takeaway is that it isn't about blame or accusations, it's about highlighting when bias appears so that people become more aware of when and how their unconscious associations might be coloring their thinking.

As a developer consuming the PyQT API, explanations of internals have come in handy.
"I'd love to learn other languages and stacks! It's just that, often, it isn't a worthy use of my time. All that time used into learning C++ and Qt would be better used in making and improving my software."

This line of thinking, that it's not worth your time to learn tools that would improve your software, and make it less resource intensive, is a large reason for that trope.

"Many are using web tecnologies because of the fads, and some out of lazyness, but many (i'd guess most) are doing it because it's worth it."

I can't agree with this, mainly because, it's not worth it. It doesn't improve the software in any way; if anything, it makes it worse.
So the question is: would you rather live in Baltimore, where these things are reported AND there are powers that can help you with these problems... or would you rather be in Small Town America where the Sheriff is the de-facto ruler and you ain't got nuthing against him?

Personally, I much prefer my chances in small town America. I'm currently living in the Bay Area, but planning to move to somewhere much smaller. I may be naive, but I have much less fear of systematic corruption of the authorities in smaller towns. Alternatively, as a white male, I may be correct in my personal assessment despite the non-universality of the answer.

I'm not sure how one would go about definitively answering the question of whether the unreported cases of abuse in small towns are more prevalent than the reported plus unreported abuses in the larger cities. But I don't think it should involve "correcting" for the on-the-job differences between rural and city officers. Even if the brain drain and low morale help to explain why the remaining officers are more likely to be abusive, as a citizen I'd still probably be wise avoid those places and prefer locations with more content officers.
Internet-connected devices never needing firmware updates strikes me as only possible in a world where computer security is a solved problem.
That's not a similar situation in the least. Comparing calling out and calling for the removal of bad cops to holding the thin blue line ignores any bit of context there is.
>What does that even mean?

My guess is it's just another way of saying people like consuming media from companies that are relevant to their interests.

I personally find Snap's advertising to be nice. It's nice to have it separate from what my friends upload like what others have said. I've also found that what Snap puts out is way more enjoyable to look at than Facebook's advertisements.

Take sports for example. I'm a huge NFL, NBA, and MLB fan. Facebook's sports-oriented ads are usually limited to the game score which I don't need to look at because the game is already on my TV. Snap, on the other hand, puts up a nice collection of Snapchat videos from other people. I can get a pre-game locker room video from the players and I can get a fan's view of the game-winning touchdown in the same collection. Both are things you wouldn't see on a typical game broadcast. I'm fully aware that both are advertisements, but one is significantly more relevant and more enjoyable for me to consume than the other.

Back in the kitchen he fished in his various pockets for a dime, and, with it, started up the coffeepot. Sniffing the-to him-very unusual smell, he again consulted his watch, saw that fifteen minutes had passed; he therefore vigorously strode to the apt door, turned the knob and pulled on the release bolt.

The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”

He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I'll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don't have to pay you.”

“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”

In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

“You discover I'm right,” the door said. It sounded smug.

From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt's money-gulping door.

“I'll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.

It seems I am the only one bothered by putting useless junk into the universe. I don't even know how it's possible that they were allowed to litter space just for the sake of it. Like there's not enough human garbage rotating in orbit. Couldn't they send a small probe or something more useful than a car ?

Also human space travel is just the answer to none of our current and urgent earthly problems. I don't get why people are so unreasonably hyped about it.
