Random-access, multi-tape Turing machines are actually very good descriptions of computer hardware. The description of Turing machines in practice (using unary or binary notation on a single tape) is generally done because they're simpler and no less powerful, but modern computers hew much closer to a state-transition model embodied by Turing machines than a symbol rewriting process embodied by Lambda calculus.

It was all in COBOL. Previously I had only seen snippets of C++ and... perl I think.
Anyway, I saw the COBOL syntax, all-caps, everything spaced out evenly, and it delighted me immensely. It felt structural, weighty, substantial.
I think that if the javascript I write today looked as impressive to outsiders as COBOL looked to me then, I'd be showing off my work to a lot more friends & family.

Money laundering and CV padding.

Currently working with a guy that has a React book on Amazon. 0$ on Kindle, 22.50$ paperback so at least you can see for yourself what quality it is.

The book is artificially elongated and full of advise scraped from tutorials. The code snippets are pretty much non-existent. Overall garbage.

Recruiters don't read through the bullshit so it's a good sell "This guy wrote a book on the thing!". Doesn't matter that the guy produces spaghetti garbage with complexity of 36. Contracting high-life. As the old saying goes "Worse is better".

Of course laying off the guy would not pass. What would the client say!? Let's make him the lead on the front-end part and eventually push the blame on him once the client realizes what a steaming pile of bullshit they've got on their hands.

As a cherry on top there's managerial padding between US and EMEA departments of the client so probably they'll go off to the sunset with another bullshit entry on their LinkedIn profiles.

Handcrafted bespoke user interfaces - seriously, who unironically puts this on their contracting business LinkedIn profile? Who buys this babble (besides the technically oblivious managers)?
I wouldn't mind seeing an auction site with a far more limited scope, and a limited number of auctions.

Say, like, a site for old video games. Anyone who wants to sell Street Fighter II for the SNES submits it to the Street Fighter II auction, and anyone who wants to buy it bids on it there. There aren't 500 Street Fighter II auctions, there's just one, creating a more efficient commodity market for Street Fighter II.

Maybe the answer here is a service where people can build their own auction sites around product categories they care about. The service, the auctioneer/curator, and the seller split up the proceeds of each sale.

I "buy" rolls of change at the bank constantly. I also turn in unrolled change, which they count for me. (I own machines that take quarters)

I've never paid a penny extra for the rolls, and my bank does the coin-counting for free as well.

I have never in my life heard of paying extra for rolled coins. In fact, there's a whole subreddit devoted to people who buy rolls of coins and then hunt through them looking for old (silver) coins. They turn the coins back in later, at a different bank/location. This would likely not be a viable hobby if there was any upcharge.
In your example there's not really 100 software jobs and 90 software engineers, but instead a supply curve and demand curve. If the price of engineers went down, companies would love to hire more.

Interesting to consider WebTorrent vs. BitTorrent in this context; BitTorrent has grown much closer to mainstream but WebTorrent doesn't seem to be growing.
No I don’t think that’s an accurate (even if extreme) restatement at all. I said nothing at all about “allowed” or “must”. All children in the US are guaranteed access to a free public school education. And we spend quite a bit of money on providing that service! I went to public school K-12 and my children are going to public school — albeit in a wealthy suburb with a top rated school system.

The question is simple — is it legal to send your child to a private school? Is it legal to send your child to summer school and provide them tutors? If it remains legal to do that, then parents with the time and money and inclination will be able to provide a better and more personalized education for their children.

Keep in mind that when sending your children to private school, you still pay the same taxes and you are freeing up resources at the public school for other children. However I believe studies have shown when the highest achieving students leave the rest of the classroom performs worse without them, so it could still be a net negative for the public school.

The real privilege is the time parents spend with their children at home reinforcing the learning they did at school and providing the positive environment and encouragement a child needs to continue striving to learn. That typically requires a two-parent family that isn’t in financial turmoil.

> (Goldin and Katz 2007)

This in particular is not a globalization issue. To the unfamiliar, the premise is that technology aids productivity for the highly educated, but replaces productivity for lower educated. Highly educated people will see higher wage growth as technology improves but lower education will correspond with fewer productive job opportunities. The group will become increasingly small at the same time, as more advanced technology begins to replace more complicated jobs. I don't think it was part of the paper, but you can think of it also in terms of what the singularity will look like as it happens (eventually no human is individually more productive because of technology, because the technology doesn't need the human).

Very little to do with Globalization, at least in the US where we have a relatively highly educated workforce.

> if so, what particular mechanisms exist for some truly idiotic child born with a trust of $1M, $10M, or $100M to lose their wealth?

The mechanism of humans to spend and consume frivolously. I know plenty of people who are simply uneducated on financial matters and blew through trusts of a few million dollars thanks to accountants and trustees who enabled them to spend in excess of a sustainable withdrawal rate. They aren't too different from lottery winners, many of whom end up broke. That's why I take the view that class and culture > wealth until you start to get into the nine figures range where wealth becomes more self-sustaining, although even then if you look at the top echelon of athletes and celebrities you see similar examples of self-destruction.

How is this related to Monads? This is an argument against mutation, or saying that Haskell doesn't handle mutation better than js, which is absolutely true; mutation is heavily discouraged in pure FP... Monads can be utilized to encapsulate the concept of sequential computation - if that sequential computation happens to be mutations you're gonna have a bad time.

Video content is moving in another direction with more walled gardens supported by original content. Maybe it's because of the costs required to produce quality content, or the size of the total library. Maybe it has something to do with how we watch video vs. listen to music (i.e. I may listen to a song or album 100x, but rarely watch any movie even twice).

Your thinking is not supported by any historical evidence. The historical evidence demonstrates that countries with comparable conventional military capabilities will absorb fantastic losses to projected (expeditionary) forces and will negotiate peace before using nuclear weapons. For this reason, conventional military advantage is far more important than the balance of nuclear power.

The corollary to this reality, is that pronounced conventional military imbalances increase the probably of nuclear war as either (a) the only available response to perceived aggression by a superior conventional force; or (b) the perceived correct strategic preemptive option in anticipation of (a).

Its been awhile since I was mired in cold war nuclear strategy papers, but I seem to recall conventional military parity as a highly stabilizing factor in global competition and conflict.

I would add that Chinese conventional superiority is as much a threat to India and Asian-pacific countries as to the United States.

Many times on HN I've expressed concern over the new multi-polar world we find ourselves entering. US hegemony had advantages we may wish persisted.

Citation needed. To my knowledge the F-22 has downed exactly zero adversary aircraft in actual air-air combat.
1. Just because we have not thought of something more abstract does not mean category theory is the "ultimate" abstraction that cannot be surpassed. You would have said the same thing about sets before category theory was invented. 100% guaranteed there will be another, more abstract paradigm when the need arises.

2. Just because one thing captures something fundamental about computation does not mean it captures everything fundamental about computation, nor does it mean nothing else can capture fundamental aspects of computation (disjoint from what may or may not be captured by category theory). For example, category theory does a terrible job representing the mathematical subfield of complexity theory, despite it being entirely about computation. For that matter, "how abstract" is not always comparable, and the intellectual dick measuring of what is the most abstract is counterproductive. Even basic questions in particle physics have no known model in mathematics that doesn't break under gentle prodding, so is particle physics more abstract than mathematics?

3. Haskell does a lousy job representing the majority of ideas that make category theory useful to mathematicians. For example, universal properties are neglected Haskell, and at best they're implicit. Nobody actually thinks about the math when they're writing Haskell programs, they just think about Haskell types and programs, which makes the "techniques and patterns" of Haskell programming just as arbitrary as the conventions in random Javascript libraries. It's just that there are fewer names for the same thing because fewer people write serious programs in Haskell.
Why evil?
This all assumes that the aircraft even leave the ground. First strike to cripple combat capability will most certainly be utilized among other things. The deck will be stacked, so to speak, for overall victory. Don't assume there will be a classic force on force engagement.
I don't think training and sharing of knowledge is the problem. The problem is creating an appropriate incentive structure for maintaining trust in individual practitioners' competency. That doesn't happen in a top-down way. It has to be negotiated as locally as possible.
It's possible everywhere. The last two places I lived in St. Louis had Walk Scores in the 90s. If you prioritize it, you can get it. (But obviously some places have a lot more of it than others.)

>But there is a difference between merely moving something further down in your information hierarchy and making it hard to read.

If you change "hard" to "harder", would you agree that there is no longer a difference? It seems you are just placing your bar for "too hard to read at all, in any context" somewhere different than the author of the article. The author is definitely making things lower in hierarchy harder to read on purpose, that's the whole point.

>There is precious little evidence that the trendy, overly spaced-out look of flat design and its derivatives has any usability advantage at all.

Honest question, is there any evidence that shows the usability is _worse_? How about evidence that reducing spacing or adding more options/data to a page _increases_ usability?

>if you're trying to show some sort of dashboard and spacing it out like that means you can only get 75% of your data onto a single screen instead of 100%, then your design is less practical.

A dashboard is a very specific design case. Most pages in general are more geared towards specific actions or specific "detail views" of data, where you have clear hierarchy of both data and actions. Aggregate data pages like dashboards are a whole different beast, and it seems weird to bring them up in a general UI design discussion. I would think dashboards are also more often internal than even a feature shown to real users. The days of dashboard-style pages like "web portals" are long gone.

Even if this is true, you're limiting your options by not trying to understand the technicalities behind it. Why don't the people at the top want to share? What are we even sharing? How does sharing happen? By what means does sharing occur?

The only reason you believe the people at the top don't want to share is because of centuries of thinking that has lead you to see the structure of the world in a way that this is useful. Summing up centuries of thought into a single phrase, and then throwing out the data and ideas that got you there is...risk at best.
