One property of the laws of physics is that paths through history do not cross. If it is possible for two situation to time-evolve in to one, then we've got the wrong laws of physics.

After you read "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd", I recommend "Who Killed Roger Ackroyd?" by Pierre Bayard. (spoiler alert: Please don't Google this book until you have read the Christie.)

Bayard writes "revisionist readings" of popular mysteries, in which he exonerates the killers. He mixes in a fair amount of literary criticism. I have a hard time deciding how serious he is.

The whole way that Poirot/Branagh acted around the reveal and afterwards differed quite a bit from the 70s film as well. It's the main thing that knocks this version down at least a notch for me.
It's real good to be heavily in debt when inflation increases beyond expectations.

There were many government employees in Brazil who'd bought real estate in Brasília (the country's new-ish capital) with significant mortgages at reasonable fixed or quasi-fixed interest rates before the inflationary 1980's. After many years of 100% or 600% inflation in the 1980's, were left paying the equivalent of US$50 per month mortgage for awesome apartments.
It's bad on all of them. They made stuff you want to do often (like see previous episodes of a season) take multiple clicks just so they could fill the page with images. That's especially annoying on a non-touchscreen device like Roku.

It's visually appealing but could be much more functional while retaining much of that.

Netflix is more functional in some regards but I still feel overwhelmed by the selection with no way to sort through it that makes sense to me. They have so many shows, so many nonsensical ways to categorize the show, and no ratings anymore to tell me whether it's worth it. They often move things around in nonsensical fashion (my biggest complaint is that "continue watching" is sometimes at the top, where it should be because it's almost always what you want, but then sometimes several rows down, with no discernible pattern.)

But once you get into your show it's better.
> If an employer can't ascertain your skill level through the interview process, their hiring is broken.

I think the better way of putting that is "Interviewing is broken". Determining that a candidate meets a minimum level of skill-set is possible to do in an interview, however, determining much beyond that is highly elusive. I've had candidates that were incredible "Used Car Salesmen", who the previous interviewers wanted to "skip the technical interview" and just hire the guy outright because he was so convincing only to have his outcome in the technical interview end up being terrible (and I've had candidates get the job where this fact was discovered too late)[0]. I've had candidates that I've had to have a fight nearly come to blows to get a candidate hired because they were so nervous that they completely bombed the interview, and that "accurate portfolio of their skill set" was the only thing, outside of my insistence, that got them hired (out of the few this has happened with, all were good hires, too).

I'm not asking anyone to jump through my hoops (especially now that I'm working at a place where I, thankfully, no longer interview candidates). I don't ask candidates to white-board code (I wouldn't let them if they wanted to), but given a candidate who has a solid portfolio against a candidate who does not -- assuming all other things are equal (or the portfolio is incredible) -- I'm going to hire the one with a portfolio. And I feel it is a personal responsibility of mine to keep that stuff up-to-date. I could do a better job of it, myself, but if I failed to get a job because I lacked in that area, I wouldn't blame anyone but myself.

[0] I blame myself for this one -- he could talk up and down about concepts; was hugely into functional programming at a time when that was less mainstream. He not only knew all of the buzzwords, but he knew the "why"'s behind them. Academically speaking, he was incredibly knowledgeable. It wasn't until he had to actually learn an existing code base and contribute to it that it was discovered he lacked in execution. A manager on his team felt that he "froze up" ... would write something seven different ways and keep coming back to it while writing follow-on features until all he was doing was modifying code he'd already written to yield the same result, just slightly differently. I, arrogantly, assumed he was too good for the half-rate programmers we hired but upon running into someone who worked with him at the company he came from, it was discovered that he was not actually employed by them at the time he was interviewing as he'd been let go a couple of weeks prior ... and he had the same problem there.

One thing that DST discussions on HN always omit is that not everyone works as a software engineer with a reasonably flexible culture and a 10AM start culture. People who work at coffee shops, retail stores, foodservice prep, etc. often need to be working by 5 or 6AM, they’re just not as politically powerful as the wealthy who have schedule flexibility. They often have 2+ hour commutes on public transportation, and permanent DST means they’ll be working an extra hour in the dark (they already start work in darkness) and will be in bed when it’s still light out.
I'm of the opinion that "Material design" is exactly what my comment portrays... a world where all interfaces look and act alike, where everything must adhere to "best practices" at the expense of a unique experience and fresh ideas.

My thought is that, if the goal is more creativity, then we have to move away from trying to homogenize user experiences by funneling them into the same identical visual theme (read: "Material design")

I didn't mean my previous comment to rip on what you were saying; this just comes from someone who is working on a project that has been shorehorned into Material design and I sincerely think the user interface has worsened as a result.

I agree your points regarding C++, but it's not true that Pike was focused on the request-processing niche.

Go was specifically designed to be suitable for programs like web browsers, compilers, IDEs, maybe even OSes. We know because Pike said so - see the "Systems Language" page at https://web.stanford.edu/class/ee380/Abstracts/100428-pike-s... (warning, PDF).
Attract rich people from where? If the presence of rich people is a problem then solving the "problem" by keeping your neighborhood shitty just means the problem becomes someone else's to bear. It doesn't actually solve it. And notice that if they "solve" it too then you get rich people in your neighborhood driving up your rent and you live in a shitty neighborhood.
Not really. A skilled reverse engineer does not find/replace any certificates, or anything like that. They just debug the app, stepping over all the code, instruction by instruction. There's no way you can beat that. I'm a malware reverse engineer - I work with this kind of stuff every day. And I'm pretty sure there's no 'game': once the binary is in my disassembler, it's over.
In Australia I believe around 2011 they made a change to similar law called the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).

In case of a major issue with a product, you can:

Repair, replace or refund. And it is the buyer's choice - not the company.

In case of a minor issue:

The company must provide a free repair within a reasonable amount of time. If they don't or can't, you can get it repaired elsewhere and pass on the cost, or get a replacement, refund or compensation for the drop in value.

Also the best bit is it makes no reference to warranty time period. So a company cannot say "6 month, 12 month or 24 month warranty" - if they do, consumer law overrides that condition. The length of time is intentionally vague as "the time you'd expect it to last".

If you purchase a 100" TV brand new for $300, because of the cheap price the warranty may be only a year or so. If you purchase a 50" TV for $4000, you'd "expect" it to last many years - and people have received full refunds for their TVs 5+ years after purchase when they have developed a major fault.

This is great, because it forces manufacturers to bare the cost and not plan intentional obsolescence into their products to force you to upgrade when they break. It's therefore cheaper for manufacturers to build quality products that will last.

Generally speaking, I have found Pinker's writings to be excellent (even when I have quibbles here and there). This latest book, however, seems rushed and an attempt to ride on his own coattails.

Still, it's odd to me that so many reviews of this book apparently go beyond simply pointing out the flaws of the book in order to take a swipe at the man.

Do I smell schadenfreude?
We all create money all the time. We exchange a debt we owe for a debt we own. That's it.

And underlying it all is a simple 'proof of burn' concept. Every person has a finite amount of time available to them. When you put some of that 'out of use' by serving others you gain credit from others.

The monetary system is essentially a notarised system of time credits which we exchange between ourselves.

She told her manager precisely what was wrong, that it wasn't an issue, and that she was going to leave it to see if anyone else gave a rat's ass.

If the manager was going to object to this plan, the time was then. Having a whinge about it months later while taking no responsibility and trying to make it sound like she'd just skived off? Nah.
Wouldn’t you have the same problem of availability though? The issue is not whether the meeting time is the middle of the night - you can do the same thing now by saying the meeting is at 4pm EST and not being concerned about what time it is elsewhere. Making the time UTC everywhere doesn’t resolve that a person in Japan at the same UTC time simply will not attend the meeting because they’re asleep at that time. Switching to UTC everywhere simply changes the question form what time is it there? To are they asleep or awake there? It doesn’t seem like this makes the scheduling aspect easier because regardless of what the clock says you always have to ask the availability question.
async/await and goroutine is not same thing here.

When you talking about async/await, you're actually talking about asynchronization, and when you talking about goroutine, you're talking about parallel (which is a selling point of Go).

If the thread that responsible for executing the async/await blocks, then the entire progress/thread rely on that async/await will block. So if you want to comfortably use async/await, the entire call stack must be build for it, and that can be a huge challenge for the ecosystem of that language.

goroutine resolved that problem by spawn a new system thread so the rest of the progress will not be effected too much by the block. Go also resolved that problem by wrapping IO on top of an internal async API so basic IO operation will not cause actual block for too long.

To be a sovereign you have a loyal gang around you. That allows you to impose a liability on any mere individual in your realm, then offer a token to settle that liability in return for some of the individual's time.

If they refuse you execute them and confiscate their property. A total loss of time.

Or perhaps just remove their liberty - which is still a significant loss of time.

As the individual do you take the deal or stand the consequences?

Scandinavian countries have virtually no racial or cultural diversity. For example, 97% of Finland's population is of Finnish or Swedish heritage. Over 70% of the Finnish population belongs to the Finnish national religion, Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, and a portion of their taxes are handed over to the church. Finland has an immigration policy in-line with mainstream US Republican proposals such as being means-tested rather than a random lottery and it's not weighted towards diversity at all. Lastly, Scandinavian countries have equal or worse gender representation for careers like nursing and engineering.

Scandinavia deserves plenty of credit for the legislative efforts they've made towards egalitarianism, but it's important we put our perception of them into context.

You’ve completely misread. No one thinks DST was made to align noon with the sun. I mean, it’s so obvious that’s not the case (noon is aligned with the sun in Standard Time), I can’t believe you would think it was said that way, especially on this site.
Well I guess the 'afaik' in my answer was wrong in this case, it was based on recollection of the last time I held a nature in my hand, and a comparison with a sort of definition as listed here: https://www.library.georgetown.edu/tutorials/scholarly-vs-po....

Sorry to unjustly disparage nature, however, it does not discount the quote I lifted from the post, which is still a valid point.
I know Pike _said_ that, but I think the differing level of success of the language in these different niches speaks louder.

In particular, I think the idea that anyone serious is going to build a large desktop application like a web browser in a language that doesn't expose OS-level threads to the programmer is pretty laughable. Similarly for the idea of building an OS (or at least an OS kernel) in a garbage collected language.

edit: I realize I didn't really respond to your point. My point is that regardless of what Pike said, request processing permeated the atmosphere at Google, and deeply influenced the design of Go, whether Pike realized it or not at the time.
this is going to be awesome. I need to look at that now. So many coins to be aware of and to study to navigate a seemingly confusing new world, though.
That’s going to make catching your train or plane or trying to do multiple transport connections a nightmare. What time do I have to leave my house driving east to catch the 7pm flight? And note the clocks will change as you drive making it hard to understand if you’re late or not. It also assumes everyone has a device that does this work for you, which would be really tough to work around when it runs out of battery.
How do you figure out who they are?
How do you know that?

Look how much Redox has achieved in so little time and with so few people. It has everything from a kernel to a fully working desktop GUI.

All because they use a good language that allows easy code reuse and proper library packaging.

Let me put it this way. You walk into a Verizon store and see 15 cell phones. 2-3 of them are iOS. The other 12-13 are android. Buying an iOS device is likely to mean that your an Apple fan. Buying an android might mean that you like android. Or it might mean you like the particular phone, or you might be price conscious. All things that are not “android loyalty”.

One problem is that iOS is essentially the same thing as iPhone in terms of purchasing decisions. This is not true for android. Ergo, it’s not safe to equate the phone and OS in the android world but it mostly is in the iOS world.

Prenatal testosterone can alter the baby's phenotype, but can it alter the baby's genotype?

Something has to alter the baby's genotype (more specifically, the genes in germ line cells, which are the only cells whose genetic material gets passed on to offspring) in order to count as a method of heritability. Otherwise prenatal testosterone is the same as any other thing in the environment which can alter an organism's phenotype.

Bringing more “normal,” traditionally suburban people into cities dilutes the countercultures currently living there, and the suburban middle class tends to outcompete the existing counterculture when space is reallocated through the market. This leads to policies that minimize the role of the market in allocating urban space.
Small annoyance (I haven't read the entire thing, but I have strong feelings about this): gsl::index is disgustingly verbose. If you use stl, just use size_t. If you're using something else, follow the conventions they use (be it size_t, int, or whatever). Their examples [1] conveniently omit size_t to push their alternative.

The alternative way to read it seems to be “here’s an irrelevant bit of data about the concept of noon, followed by an irrelevant proposal to shift time zones by a half an hour for essentially no reason”. I’m not sure that’s better.

Also, noon is not really aligned with the sun in standard time. In some rough sense, sure. But solar noon on one side of a time zone is an hour before/after solar noon on the other side. The nature of time zones scoped to hour blocks guarantees that clock noon will not correspond to solar noon in most of the zone. This is especially true for larger zones like China’s official zone.

I wish they were more specific about when to use and not use exceptions. Truth be told I really hate exceptions and I strongly feel that they should only be used in the most disastrous situations. I'm messing with the 0MQ C++ wrapper now (which I will probably move off of) and they use exceptions for freaking everything. For example the send(msg) method returns true if the message is sent, false if EWOULDBLOCK is returned by the C api, or throws for any other error.. Like guys shit happens on networks all the time, just give me an error. Instead I have to try to track down all the damn exceptions and figure out what throws and what doesn't..

I actually really liked the way Apple did it for Objective-C. Don't use exceptions unless something is really going sideways, instead use NSError. I'm not saying this is the correct pattern for C++, but I don't personally think exceptions are the correct pattern either.
but its a gamble - I've seen ppl spend much more than the cost of replacing because they were being stubborn and didnt want to believe that it might be cheaper to replace in the medium term.
The base rate issue here is not about market share, it’s about the number of phone choices. If I pick a phone at random, there’s a very high percentage chance it will be android, because there are dozens of phones by different makers.

There are what like 3-5 actively sold iPhone models? So is someone who trades in their Pixel for a Samsung “loyal to android” or did they just happen to like a phone that happened to be an android?

In the iPhone world the two go together, so brand loyalty = phone loyalty = OS loyalty
