While I do get that feel with PostScript, as far as I can tell it was accidental rather than a conscious design decision.

The stack-oriented nature of PostScript appears to have been influenced by the engineers' experiences with working with some stack-oriented architectures from Burroughs [1], rather than from Forth. Some aspects of PostScript were influenced heavily by other languages in use at Xerox PARC during the Interpress era [ibid], most notably Cedar, but considering that Interlisp was also in use at the time, it's not unreasonable to conjecture that it had some influence; however, any such Lisp influence was likely subconscious, and none of the people working on Interpress or PostScript or their forebears seems to explicated such an influence (as far as I can find).

Charles Geschke and John Warnock, the co-founders of Adobe, both deny any influence from Forth, suspecting that some overlap of design requirements between the two languages led to the shared properties [2]. I know that can be hard to believe, given the striking similarity of the two languages, but it's not the only time that concatenative programming would have been independently invented: Manfred von Thun's Joy language is likewise similar to Forth, but, again, not inspired by it. Whereas the similarity of PostScript to Forth can be explained by a simultaneous need for portability and dynamism in tightly-constrained environments, Joy's similarity to Forth is a result of a desire for algebraic manipulation of program text (Forth's (somewhat) having this property may have been a conscious design decision, but I'd bet cold, hard cash that it was a happy accident).

Indeed, any of these stack-oriented concatenative languages are computationally equivalent to a transformation monoid (algebra of functions and function composition) where evaluation proceeds according to a (possibly effectful) term-rewriting relation. Viewed in this light, the stack effectively becomes a mere implementation detail as far as the semantics are concerned, but I think that any language designer starting with such a monoid+rewriting semantics, when facing reasonable implementation on real hardware, is likely to come up with something quite similar to Forth &c. That is to say, starting with a low-level focus on efficient and portable implementation, or starting with a high-level focus on code representation as algebraic terms, there's a good chance you'll wind up with something similar to an established concatenative language, whether you mean to or not.

Indeed, I saw that redirection will continue to work. It wasn't clear to me, though, whether any of the other stuff -- stats, particularly -- will continue to work.
Depends. In TNG the outlook tends to be far more rosy than in DS9 or DIS. There were a few episodes which hinted at darker tendencies in Starfleet but those usually turned out to be corrupt individuals or some kind of alien influence.

Having grown up with TNG my impression of the Federation was much like what the US was pretending to be prior to 9/11 (i.e. prior to "world police"), a beacon of liberty, equality and hope for mankind, but with all the ills of real-world USA eliminated by scientific progress and a more idealistic and altruistic society.

The show had a few militaristic undertones initially but they mostly went away in season 2 and later, except for the ranks. The ranks and offensive capabilities are lampshaded a number of times but Picard and other characters frequently prove that those are just born out of necessity and for self-defense, never to attack. The Borg represent such a threat exactly because they are not interested in diplomacy and Starfleet has to fight an all-out war to survive them -- unlike the Romulans or Klingons who even at the worst of times mostly didn't outright attack them.

In several places, this statement is missing some important information, which leads to the impression that the story is being spun to imply the driver had more responsibility in this crash than may have been the case.

The statement says "The driver had received several visual and one audible hands-on warning earlier in the drive and the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision. The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider with the crushed crash attenuator, but the vehicle logs show that no action was taken." (my emphasis.)

What is not stated here is how long before the impact was it clear that the car was off course and was not going to make a correction - i.e. how much time would an attentive driver have to realize that something was going wrong? Tesla may not yet know the answer to that question, but if it does not, I do not think it should suggest that the driver had five seconds to respond (the only information I have read on this matter is Tesla's own statements, so I do not know if other reporting on the crash shows that this was the case.)

Hands off the wheel does not prove that the driver is inattentive. More importantly, hands on the wheel does not show that the driver is attentive. IMHO, something at least as effective as eye tracking is necessary to establish that. Furthermore, Tesla's own statement indicates that it is allowing too long a period of inattentiveness, even for highway driving.

It is reasonable for Tesla to use statistics to justify the utility of their systems, so long as they compare like with like. Unfortunately, this statement is cagey about that: "If you are driving a Tesla equipped with Autopilot hardware, you are 3.7 times less likely to be involved in a fatal accident." Compared to what? Teslas without such hardware? Regardless of whether the hardware is being used? depending on what they are comparing it to, these statistics might be on account of simpler, more reliable safety features of the vehicle, or even owner demographics.

Finally, the absence of a working crash attenuator, while a tragic fact, has no bearing on the issue of Autopilot's reliability.

>> ps, this comment of mine is not as polite as I want my comments to be. But, when you're calling people lazy and sitting on their butt, I think it's okay to write a not-so-polite comment.

Oh I understand. I held back a bit too. You're being an extremist with your comments about taking charge, and Always! And no, I don't propose the OP download the whole of what he sees as "culture to be preserved" from YouTube. Why do you insist on taking a simple concept to such an extreme?

We can all try to change the world a little bit. I'd prefer the world to be certain ways. While I can't make it that way for everyone I can set an example and influence the small area around me. In a similar way, if someone thinks a set of videos should be preserved they can save some themself - that does not mean they become an archivist for the Smithsonian.

While I was being a bit snarky, the sitting on their butt comment was meant to point out that a person watching YouTube is literally doing that. Most things people want to change do take more effort than that.

I'm taking the time to write for the same reason - I don't like when people are such extremists in their thinking (all or nothing) so I'm hoping to change a small part of the world (you) in a tiny way. If you still think people can't be the change they want I'll offer you this:

Leadership starts with the top and the values of the company. There is a huge gap between the CEOs of Microsoft and Apple and Zuckerberg who has never understood the value of respecting boundaries. That culture likely permeates the whole company seen in their handling of partners, API permissions, privacy settings etc..

I doubt that Zuckerberg is able to fix the issues as he is at the root of it. Looks to me like the situation at Uber but with FB there may still something to be saved if they are moving fast.

I've given up on that but haven't sought alternatives. I'm not sure what began influencing my feed, but even after removing sources, choosing what was useful and what I wasn't interested in, it still mainly gives me popular and political news, which were never set in my interests.

Other than that, it gives me information that's a day late, which makes things like one-day sales notifications for not useful.

I've largely switched to podcasts to make up for the content gap but would be interested in a aggregator that didn't try so hard to be smart.

Programmer Dvorak moves the commonly used keys in programming other than letters to convenient locations in the spirit of dvorak layout, which makes it even more comfortable to code.

Exactly. It's very important to ensure negative (and unjustified!) publicity do not affect technology perception, adoption and growth.

> the fact that the Tesla driver received multiple "get your hands back on the wheel" notifications, as close as six seconds before the accident

But that isn't what their statement says. It says the victim had his hands off the wheel for six seconds before the crash, and that he received hands-on warnings "earlier in the drive." It does not say that during those crucial six seconds he was being warned. Nor does it explain the fact the car plowed into a barrier.

Now Scientists Know How Fuel Producing Bacteria Work
There have been too many times when driving that I've needed to visually make eye contact with either another driver or pedestrian in order to decide how to proceed. Can an autopilot differentiate between a 6 year old chasing a ball into the street unaware and an 8 year old chasing the same ball but also sees the car coming? Or someone patiently waiting to cross the street while another impatiently sees they are missing their bus and dart across the road anyway? I see it in their face and body language and respond differently. Can autopilot do that? Until it can I don't trust it. At best it should be restricted to roads without pedestrians like freeways.

”Nor does it explain the fact the car plowed into a barrier.”

This is critical. No matter how many notices you give, slamming into something at speed is the wrong answer. It’s almost unbelievable that they’re trying to use that as an excuse.
At least here, the driver of the vehicle hitting anything (another car, especially a person) is /always/ responsible, because you're supposed to be attentive for unexpected events. And that's how it should be. Why do you think otherwise? If you don't see clearly in front of you because of scarce illumination, you should go slower.

Unless assisted driving is close to near perfection (that is, it becomes a true auto-pilot without the need of assistance), we're going to see much worse numbers of accidents on the streets for assisted-driving cars.

Assisted-driving requires the same, if not more attention, as it essentially becomes like supervising an inexperienced driver that is prone to make stupid mistakes in otherwise normal circumstances. If you ever had a kid, you should be pretty familiar with how stressful this is.

But thanks to the PR spin, the driver is led to think that he can keep less attention, until he pays none at all. Assisted driving is even more boring than regular driving, lowering the attention span.

What could possibly go wrong?

Nobody is trying to absolve Tesla. They're just refuting a dumb and easily rebuked claim that no human driver would make the same mistake. There is evidence that crashes happened there before, and it would be easy to imagine someone crashing there because they were focusing on trying to find a spot to merge while driving in what appeared to be a standard lane.

Again, not absolving Tesla, just being realistic about the capabilities of human drivers.

Practically all of the graphs show that the trends they attribute to new racquets were already evident before that introduction. Given the size of the pro tour, it wouldn't take too large a cadre of young hot shots to explain the results independently of racquet technology, and those players' ever advancing age would better explain the U shape of those curves. Indeed this is when McEnroe, Connors, Lendl, and Wilander were all coming to the fore. The evidence for the authors' hypothesis seems extremely weak.
