I've often wondered what'd happen if one were to make a search engine, and site catalogue (similar to early yahoo) that'd only take sites that do not match easylist.

You'd have a set of sites without any tracking or ads, and you might have it much easier to find high-quality sites like these.

What Roles Combine Product Management with Web App Development?
I love owning a backlog and prioritizing features based on customer deep diving sessions but I also love building the features myself.

My career has spanned software engineering -> systems engineering -> product management but I want to combine all of these.

If I were to write out what my ideal role would be it would include: talking to customers, learning about their needs, building a feature roadmap, building the applications/features/prototype and handing it off to the client.

I explained this to a friend of mine and he said "Sales Engineer" or "Solutions Architect" but I can't quite find descriptions that align to these titles.

Any ideas?
Well, it that if one is to make the journey worthwhile, one needs to structure the process of an activity so it has value. Learning and enjoying along the way could be a happy accident but I suspect this happy accident was far likely before our society reached the point that it could structure every waking moment of a given person's life with the purpose of reaching a single goal (a description that could apply to 14 year old gymnast, the 20-something entrepreneur or the aging Amazon warehouse worker).

There are obvious steps that can be taken here.

* Work hard but not so hard you're squeezing the life out of yourself.

* Take time to evaluate your success and failure and how much you've progressed

* Work on a project that involves other people so you can experience camaraderie in the result.

* Think about the "next step" for everyone or a large portion, of those involved.

College and graduate have a lot of these qualities, though they seem to be fading over time. Work in a large organization can sometimes have this quality depending on the quality of the organization. Work in startup or as an entrepreneur seems to demand the person or organization can create the qualities themselves. Work for uber or in low-level retail can have none of these qualities and the individuals for it.

And in society as a whole, we're suffering for the lack of these things.

My girlfriend met my dad over thanksgiving. He's now in his mid 70s, grew up extremely poor, son of immigrants, but ended up making mid six figures through brains and hard work and raised 4 children very well. A few of his siblings did better than that. She grew up rough and is very street smart. She said to me after "he has this look in his eyes that something is unfinished". I mentioned it to him a week later and somehow he responded "I always wanted to be king". I think your second line is a bit unfair of a statement to make - most people may reach your own conclusion, but that doesn't mean it's "correct". Caesar chose to cross his rubicon instead of bowing out of the game - he simply made that decision.
I recently heard about people being fined for sailing in a prohibited zone (I believe an exclusion zone around a drilling platform).
How does that jive with the rules against keeping tracking information of personal vessels?
I think it could compete well, depending on the efficiency of the process. Advantages are that the energy density of liquid hydrocarbons is orders of magnitude greater than Li ion batteries, and likely always will be. So you can store a lot more energy in a smaller space. It's also easier to transport and distribute, since we have extensive infrastructure for transporting liquid fuels.

Of course not

I think that if an implementation treats it in either of the following ways, then it's good: 1) treat an ahead-of-sequence ack as "everything acknowledged so far" or, 2) drop the ahead-of-sequence ack as a bad frame.

Other behaviors, like crashing or messing up the stream, of course, spoil things.

There is a problem if the receiver sends only an ahead-of-sequence ack, without acknowledging frames before, and the sender drops that ack. The sender must acknowledge everything actually received, and respond properly to window probes, to ensure forward progress.
"Moreover, if some members of society reject to use new anti-aging technologies for some religious or any other reasons (inconvenience, non-compliance, fear of side effects, costs, etc.), then the total population size may even decrease over time." I don't understand how this would decrease the population. Also why would they even bring this point up in the abstract. I thought this study was supposed to analyze the worst case scenario. Additionally an increase of 22% is not a trivial number when the population of the world is 7 billion.

What would be racist is if he said "since they are brown, then..." But that isn't what the user said.

Not long ago in human history witch hunts swept across Europe and eventually to America. It was no small thing: millions of innocents were either murdered, tortured or imprisoned... And for what? Better to forget this history about humans exhibiting troubling psychology such as this... You might get labelled a witch yourself, or a Jew, or a racist.

To be fair, we are progressing a lot at least in the sense that racism is actually a real phenomenon, and an undesirable one, but beyond that the witch hunt psychology is part of the same thread through history.
I know that there might be spam problems if one manages to precompute the local PoW hashes (solved by pruning the chain), but I would love if you explained more this security problems. Are they consensus-related as some people in reddit suggested? If this is the case, it might be good for Nano to get someone like @aphyr to audit the code.
> There are other JIT compiler frameworks out there, like GNU Lightning, but only LLVM seems to have any traction.

I looked at a few libraries before deciding on LLVM. Lightning isn't that interesting for postgres' use case for a few reasons. The biggest issue is that it can really be used to implement inlining of operators defined in C - there's no equivalent of LLVM bitcode generated from C that can then be inlined. Secondarily, it doesn't include, afaict, much of an optimizer. That's not great for postgres' usecase.

The inlining issue imo makes it really hard to compete with LLVM, even though there's quite some space for a code generator and optimizer much more tuned towards emission speed.
> This isn’t what people mean when they imply liquidity. Needing consent and being able to unilaterally demand cash are different domains. The former is e.g. a holding in a fund or coins in a LN, the latter is a consumer checking account.

Is it really true that you can get easily the money out of your checking account if your bank declines to give it to you? In a traditional bank account, it is possible to place a hold on an account for various reasons, mostly when compelled by the government.
That is refreshed every couple years via collective bargaining between companies and unions, with a government representative sitting in as referee.
That was the idea. But why would want to move there?

In 60-s, people imagined how population would line up for space colonies to build a farm there. And a big house.

Now, people want not just live on Earth. They would prefer to live in, let's say, the EU. And not even all of the EU; how about a Paris arrondisement? That's the place we find desirable.

A few people would like to be the first to space colonies. I fail to see how a few billion people would like to move there, to become some sort of worker drones. Plus, this tend to not end well. Compare how well do people in Spain live, and compare it to how people who went abroad to South America live.

Nope. We should put adequate warnings on the cigarettes, so the customers know what exactly they are buying.

How Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Will Fix the Global Remittance Industry
To me that's a big loss. It seems pretty clear we're not fixing this quickly enough and need to go quicker.

A2F fuel is still hydrocarbon so will still spit out similar pollutants along with contributing to the associated health impacts. As the second half of the article notes it's far better not to have the pollution in the air in the first place.

What about the economic, industrial, and environmental cost of creating and running the A2F infrastructure and process?

In 10 years, probably less, most vehicles will have been replaced. Keeping internal combustion viable for +20 years will just avoid the issue and help delay the inevitable switch to renewables; be that electric, fuel cell, or something more exotic. Worst case scenario - in 20 years internal combustion is still pervasive, in part thanks to the adoption of A2F, with both fuels at the pump: oil sourced £2, A2F £2.10.

So in 20 years I sincerely hope gas powered cars are not common, and are fast becoming an occasional historic entertainment found in clubs, tracks and preservation societies. Rather like steam trains and horses have perhaps.

It could perhaps be very useful for aviation where renewables seem unlikely to make much impact any time soon.
Why Programming Seems So Boring – How to Continue Programming Without Any Effort
I don’t see how you can possibly claim the existence of an absolute moral law demonstrating that Singapore is wrong. Your own comment is yet more evidence that law is extemely well publicized, and although I might not myself vote for such a law, I don’t have the arrogance and naïveté to think they are somehow definitely incorrect.

There are things which we can be certain are wrong: murder, rape, etc. A law that punishes gum chewing to some extent or another is not one of them.

A bank credit is not a currency. The thing it is denominated into (EUR, USD, BTC...) is.

I think the real reason is that people had little to no choice in that regard.

It sequesters it for 10-30 years and then the plants and trees that are grown on or near it further sequesters CO2 and carbon.

Back in 1995 or so, I was siting in a friend's office fooling around with a 486 box running Linux. I fired up XFig and was working on a logo for his startup business. The machine was behaving very crisply with everything I was doing on it and I was like, wow, how much RAM do you have in this thing? I type free and see it has 6 Mb of RAM in total.

A few years before that, I had an account on a machine shared by three or four remotely logged in users; a FreeBSD box with 8 Mb of RAM.

I have seen a Linux image with XWindow usefully running on a 386 with 4 Mb of RAM.
One consequence of defeating aging I haven't heard discussed is the tendency of society to become very conservative.

Even if someone's mind regains the flexibility of a 20 year old, it's hard to see how the lessons of a lifetime wouldn't lead to some fairly fixed beliefs. If you can a population with only a trickle of actually young people, it seems like the rate of change could become very slow.
It’s been painful having that older blog post show up as one of the top items when people search for Julia.

I could tell you a story about someone who had dreams and goals and plans.

And then he discovered that the world is not a kind place; it puts down immovable barriers against those plans. He has a friend who says, "anything good that happened was because I beat my head against a stone wall until I succeeded;" not this guy---anything good that happens seems basically pure luck, head banging or no head banging.

He discovered that those goals he did work for and achieve suddenly tasted like sand. And then one day he realized that the reason he would never achieve any of those great dreams was because the will to work for them had been beaten out.

Yeah, I could tell you a story. But I won't.
Now that's just not true. This sounds like a fairly US-centric view. In many countries you get health care taken care of if you can't afford it.
Thanks for the list! I've listened to several of your talks, but didn't know about some of these.

Nit: "unision" should be "unison" (in the description of the oral history talk). This misspelling lept out at me because of the way my screen reader mispronounced it.

One thing about formal verification, and a lesser extent automated testing, is that you often end up spending the majority of the time adapting the program or language to work with verification rather than actually solving a real-world problem or fixing a real bug.

His third comment fits this category well. The problem set he describes was that the code is designed in a way that's ill suited for formal verification. But he never mentions any other benefits or justification for changing how it works.

So I'm not sure it's necessarily a 'bug' in a traditional sense that supports the use of formal verification, except in some self-serving way.

That said, I'm very much in support of formal verification in these types of languages.
agreed.

> That's not defeating of aging until you found a way to prolong youth and not just the old age as this research seem to assume.

The article considers four separate cases: 1) negligible senescence, 2) slowed aging, 3) continuous rejuvenation, and 4) one-time rejuvenation.

It seems that at least 1 and 3 are what you want. Have I misunderstood your comment?

EDIT: thriftwy is correct, here. The authors leave the crucial detail of when, in their model, life extension begins, until deep in the article. It's around age 60, in their model. This is in no way what is conventionally meant by these terms as I have ever seen them used when reading about "negligible senescence," "anti-aging," "SENS," & etc.

If the UK trend is so wildly different than the US trend, then that alone looks like a pretty big flag that technologies shared by both the US and UK (computers and phones!) aren't to blame, no?
For some languages, that distinction doesn't seem to apply. For example, it seems that the D language can be treated as both a scripting language and a system language, as the speed of compilation + execution can be comparable to that of scripting languages. For evidence of this, take a look at the first D versus Python comparison in this article, note that both scripts have comparable execution times (both finished running in under a second):

http://tech.adroll.com/blog/data/2014/11/17/d-is-for-data-sc...

It should be noted that D has a number of different compilers, offering the user the choice between compilation speed and optimisation.

In particular, if you increase the average global biomass over time, then you’ve captured some carbon.

Longer term, you can bury that biomass instead of burning it or letting it decompose. Eventually, it will turn back to oil. I guess the question is whether these new technologies are better than buying up tree farms and sending their outputs to landfills at are optimized to minimize decomposition.

Edit: Tree farms are a terrible straw man. Are these technologies better than simply instituting bio-waste bins alongside recycling, and burying the bio-waste for long term carbon capture instead of composting?

I liked especially this statement: "If you have a large computation project that takes 30 minutes to process then the 0.5 second startup time means nothing. This should be the more common case for most business applications, let alone the numeric/scientific computing community."

It's important to optimize the performance critical code. And in my use cases scripts usually runs minutes or even hours.

Very interesting. Here in Spain some people wrongly translate it as "demonio" which means "demon". However people with more knowledge strongly disencourage saying it and recommend to say "daemon" even when probably near no one really knowing where it comes from. I like the word daemon though.

Checking the oxford dictionary I can see that demon and daemon are indeed related, and that it could theoretically be translated in the same way. I prefer to say daemon though.
