I wonder if they're just announcing this to see what it can do for their stock price. At the risk of saying something completely reductive, I feel like any technical person with a beginner's grasp of what blockchain technology can do is only going to say "but why", and the appeal here is going to be limited to speculators or people impressed by the social proof that blockchain is impressive to others.
I second this, mainly because the Angular to Vue transition is more straightforward than going completely to React, so would be of more immediate help to more people.

Also I think that Vue is arguably more straightforward than React in the minimal model-view one-way binding use case. Whereas React is a subset of the more general functional reactive programming model and will probably be outpaced at some point with something language-agnostic.
Heh - that was partly me. The kernel team (i.e. mostly DaveC) mostly prescribed which instructions were allowed in prologues/epilogues. I was dev lead of VC's CRT team at the time (2000-ish), and got assigned to work on that and come up with an x64 version of the prologue/epilogue descriptors needed to unwind. I looked at what was done for Itanium, and simplified that waaaay down to what was needed for x64. I remember designing the ability to split prologues into multiple parts, to do something called shrink-wrapping, where you might not want to push all your saved registers all the time - there might be a subset of a function's code where a register needs to be pushed/popped. DaveC needed convincing that was a good idea.
Thanks a lot for sharing! BTW, I just fixed the confusing interaction with the text input placeholders[1].

My work is evaluated by my clients, who as far as I know are not drug users.

Taking stimulants for work isn't a social activity. We don't all get together and swallow our pills. I just take mine every day and I know a load of other people who do. I also on remote teams with people who, as far as I know, don't. It's not like I discriminate who I work with based on it, so people who don't wish to use drugs would not even be aware that I was taking them and wouldn't be excluded from anything to do with work.
When you're doing seven-figure crime, a three-figure piece of software is not even a footnote worth worrying about, and bear in mind, successful software piracy requires some manner of technical proficiency, which obviously, he does not have.

Your first and third points are refuted by Wikileaks: it's legal to contribute to them, but centralization made it possible for the US government to apply financial chokeholds to US banks that it made it impossible for Americans to do so electronically. So yes, if you care about using a currency to "transfer value to legal recipients who are far away", then you would care about centralization and its ability to prevent that capability.

>A cash holder can insure against theft of cash kept on premises, and in transit to a deposit facility; professional services can be hired to transport cash. As far as I'm aware these protections don't exist for cryptocurrency

You're referring to an optional add-on to cash that is not inherent to it. The act of holding cash does not automatically get you the protection of someone replacing it when you're mugged, and neither does Bitcoin have automatic replacement.

There do exist services that will thusly insure cash. But there's no inherent reason why it can't be provided for bitcoin too, it's just that the market isn't bit and mature enough for people to have sought it out (though Coinbase claims to have it).

In any case, the whole issue of "insurance in transit" is kind of obviated for an electronic currency too, at least with respect to physical theft.

No matter how good the FBI is at doing its job it will almost always be better for it to argue in favor of whatever will make its job easier.

Exception: If FBI ends up giving everyone the impression that they are truly incompetent then there should be no reason for the public to want tax payer money to fund its continued operation.

Yea, sounds like Warren Buffet isn't really behind this whole thing (entirely my observation). This morning on CNBC he was asked about the deal and only mentioned about how it was really Todd Combs that orchestrated this thing. Buffett doesn't even commit to forming a company for this new insurance idea (also of note, insurance businesses are one of Buffett's largest sectors of ownership, why note just instruct them to fix this issue???)

There are more generalized concepts of great interest, including infinite state machines and (as mentioned elsewhere in this discussion) hierarchal state machines.

However... A blog post with the stated aim of alerting programmers to the opportunities for refactoring a convoluted domain model into something with more structure has to start somewhere, and leave something out.

The great thing about discussions like this is that more experienced programmers such as yourself can chime in with exactly this kind of observation.

There is some research to say that the mate derived caffeine is largely an isomer of caffeine, in that the molecule is shaped differently. This is then used to explain why mate is more potent to users without a habituation to coffee derived caffeine. However, the research is still ongoing and the isomer theory is not yet proved, AFAIK.

This sounds very dubious. Caffeine has only one stereoisomer. And if you mean a structural isomer, then it's not actually caffeine any more.

If it was technically possible, it would probably also be worth culling anything linked within a template. Like disambiguation headers at the top of a page, or semi-related lists grouped in blocks at the bottom (things like "Cities in Australia").
Instead of "anywhere", I should have written "anywhere in the USA".
Seems that the point was that it's especially hard for women to get diagnosed and receive proper support for it. Not that it isn't also difficult for men. Girls and boys are socialized differently, and boys with autism are more likely to behave in outwardly disruptive ways, while girls are more likely to appear shy and anxious. Teachers and parents are more likely to bring up disruptive behavior to a doctor than just shyness and general social ineptitude.

Ok so you can deliver projects. But what about the next guy that has to maintain them?

At my work, we use Go extensively on the backend. Yes, it’s capable of being used by engineers to ship projects - most languages are capable of that.

But I do know we write a lot of boilerplate, and repeat ourselves all the time. We still see nil pointers occasionally (in 2018! Why are they still a thing). Even though I work with a bunch of smart engineers, the language has pressured us to write more code than we need to, which means more maintenance will be required in the future. After having worked with it for 2+ years, I wish we had just used Java or even JavaScript.

I'm not sure caching would help a ton given how I structure the data and do my searches in batches of pages, not for individual pages. I already do some "caching" by precomputing all incoming and outgoing links for each page when I create the database, which, as you would expect, yields a huge performance improvement. A cache certainly would help, but I would expect the hit rate on it to be extremely low, making it not worth the effort. I may have a different opinion after analyzing some of today's results though. Thanks for the suggestion!

Money will never lose its prestige in NYC. Tech is now where the money is going so I guess the prestige will naturally increase.

I find the original example to be much clearer. If you want to know about all the valid transitions from the 'held' state, search for all usages of 'held'. Adding complicated dispatching doesn't help readability.

This seems a lot like the expression problem [1]. There are no perfect solutions. A problem can be split along multiple dimensions, but not all at once, or at least not as code saved in a text file.

Whether you split the problem first by method or by state, you will have code that's located far away from closely related code.

Recognizing gender differences in how conditions are expressed and challenges that relate to interaction between conditions and existing gender roles and norms is important.

It's a bit surprising, since you'd think that with 1,645 paths with 5 degrees, there'd be at least one path with 4 degrees, but it doesn't work that way.

This is an important point that people defending the author need to consider. I agree that hiring is a two-way negotiation. Flexibility is great. But there is a significant moral (and legal!) hazard when you let some people skip the code test because they have an amazing Github and others get rejected for not passing the screen. You're filtering out everyone who isn't privileged with the free time to build up an amazing portfolio. People will argue that this disproportionately hurts minorities, women, and lower income people.
I recommend examine.com for finding science-backed information about nootropics and other supplements. Great resource.
I don’t think it’s resources as much as culture. Apple makes products for Apple users and their products for the benighted are dogshit (eg Itunes for windows). Dropbox on the other hand treats every platform as first class.
I think a lot of the compensation comes from slower speed and lower-complexity movements. It's absolutely the case that a cheetah uses it's tail when making turns at high velocity, but it's also true that a robot can ovoid the need for a tail by turning slowly and not having any lateral g-forces to contend with.

Off topic, but this has always astounded me - the cheetah's tail was the inspiration Kobe Bryant used for fixing his form on his fade-away jumper; one of his legs is always stuck out in a seemingly awkward manner but he's using it to balance his body as he falls away from the basket.
The Alexa App shows every interaction, including the recorded sound that triggered it, and how "Alexa" interpreted it, so it would be possible for the author to investigate it.

TIL that VHDL can be more readable than Javascript.
Totally. But I think this article actually helps with that. By educating parents, teachers, and doctors on the way that symptoms of autism manifest across children without assuming male as the "default" gender (and also educating them about our social biases which affect our interpretation of those symptoms), we're ensuring that more autistic people out there can find each other and support one another and themselves regardless of sex.

Also, I'm certain that there are male autistics who manifest their symptoms in the more stereotypically "female" way (ie, quiet, shy, reserved, good at masking), and by educating people on the different ways that autism presents itself, we can help those people get proper diagnoses and support as well.
