>Fast food chains make their food from prepared components that they buy in bulk through some sort of homogenized supply chain. So do most restaurants.

Fast food chains involve a lot of plastic in their food preparation, even hot food and even while cooking. So do most restaurants.

Fast food chains use food components that are optimized for shelf life, using whatever chemicals that the FDA said are "generally recognized as safe" in 1958. So do most restaurants.

Depends if in "non fast-food restaurants" you include a TGIF or a Chipotle.

A new typeface family of this scope doesn't come along very often. Sure, plenty of new fonts come out, but they contain mostly one to four styles (Roman/Oblique Normal/Bold) and have a special purpose. Two great examples are Matthew Carter's Bell Centennial (for phone book printing) and his Carter Sans (which I use for short chunks of copy).

Kris Holmes's and Chuck Bigelow's Lucida is one of the most recent comprehensive new type families, and that's from a generation ago. Other computer companies (Digital for example) helped support their effort.

So this is a big deal. It's a huge effort, and they made it open source and free. That's great. Thanks IBM, for supporting type designers. No doubt some of them are early in their careers. IBM's support has definitely given them a leg up. IBM will help us see another generation of new type.

It has decent ligatures ("fi" for example, look at the Slack desktop app's type to see what a ligature looks like). It only has one style of digits (figures, typeheads call them) rather than the choice of proportional and lining. But this is the 21st century and proportional figures are known as "old style".

It's no surprise the team wanted to make an artists' statement about their purposes and choices, and personally I found it (their web site) worth reading. It was a big nuisance to navigate, though.

I hope IBM can emerge from the cloud wars intact. It's gonna take focus. Unfortunately, a new typeface doesn't look like focus.
ECMA-262 defines ECMAScript. "JavaScript 1.3" refers to a Netscape-specific language implementation ("Mocha", "LiveScript", "JavaScript"), with version 1.3 being based partially based on ECMA-262 Second Edition. Some of it might still live on in Firefox, but it is certainly not what people refer to as "JavaScript".

Doing some research, it appears that Netscape changed the logical operator behavior in version 1.2 (https://web.archive.org/web/19981202065738if_/http://develop...).

However, they did not highlight this change at all (https://web.archive.org/web/19970630092641fw_/http://develop...), so I suspect it was just a minor cleanup, potentially related to the equality operator change.

As a side-note: Netscape scripting was awful. This was how you casted an object to a Number:

Number(x) = x;
Speaking from experience, I can say that typecasting problems are a striking example of this process from a different perspective. In that case, you're given lots of opportunities, but not the ones you're looking for, for reasons that have to do with others but not yourself.

A lot of what we discuss isn't luck at all but social dynamics and others' perceptions. Sometimes that involves skill; sometimes it involves luck, and sometimes it involves something systematic but ultimately outside the control of the individual.
This is a good article that outlines some of the pros of the Read Uncommitted Level.

While I haven't found any replacement for AfterEffects for motion graphics, many people I know have switched to Affinity Designer/Photo without looking back.
Not only does it not tie you into a subscription, the interface is cleaner (without years of baggage) and the whole system feels less cluttered. Maybe the features are there with Photoshop, but they are more intuitive with Affinity. Maybe it doesn't do some niche-thing Photoshop can do, but it's evidently enough for most.

Pixelmator and Vectormator also have very good quality.

In Open Source, Gimp and Krita really don't compete well in Photo editing and there simply is nothing even close to AE, but for audio Ardour does a good job.

Pulpwood is usually the worst market for wood. It takes lower quality wood than other end users, so it is an important market. But pulpwood might sell for $15 a ton while a single high grade log weighing less than a ton might sell for hundreds of dollars.

Losing the pulpwood market would mean that the cost mix would shift for other timber products but it wouldn't threaten the industry.

I'm not sure that a good, cheap process for turning hemp into paper would be that much of a threat to the pulpwood paper makers. Hemp prices can only go so low before farmers won't plant it. An awful lot of pulp wood isn't competing with corn (and any other agricultural commodity) for space to grow.

edit: Here's some global production statistics that back up paper being an important market for wood but not critical:

Nested import groups will often be uglier, but there are definitely some cases where they lead to much prettier code with no loss of obviousness, and nesting was a logical extension (in a “why don’t we have this?” kind of way, in my opinion) of import grouping, making that feature more internally consistent.

I find the visibly distinct split in recommendations to be fascinating.

Of the books I've read, Sterman's Business Dynamics: Systems Thinking and Modeling for a Complex World is the best all-round introduction to both the theory and practice of systems thinking.

There are a lot of books and as a family of related fields, systems have historically attracted creative and iconoclastic thinkers. That can be fun, but also frustrating. I think Sterman strikes the right balance.

interesting, is the current situation one of the reason Go debugging experience is so poor?

Yes. He figured out that it was absolutely necessary for the future that he wanted to see, he started a company with his own finances and then had to be Chief Engineer at that company.

Simone Giertz: Retire the Miss Makita and Señorita Makita Program
So, preemptive green-threads? This seems like a counter-productive and highly complicated re-implementation of what the OS thread model does, but inside the Go runtime.

I would very much like for goroutines to remain cooperative. It is much simpler, naturally more performant, and quite easy to reason about. A local implementation of preemptive execution seems like a very high price to pay to only handle a few corner-cases.

That is not to say that preemptive scheduling does not have their place: They make a lot of sense at an OS level where independent processes are scheduled, but little sense as an internal green-thread implementation.
This is great, I waste a LOT of time doing playlists to figure out my festival schedule. So time consuming. Can you do google play please? I had to junk Spotify years ago because streams would constantly interrupt and jitter.
KAISER is developed to mitigate another less severe vulnerability.

From the meltdown paper:

> We show that the KAISER defense mechanism for KASLR [8] has the important (but inadvertent) side effect of impeding Meltdown. We stress that KAISER must be deployed immediately to prevent large-scale exploitation of this severe information leakage.
Interesting ideas. Maybe this would also change the hiring practices of Software Engineers. You wouldn't have to white board fizzbuzz if you were a "Master" S.E.
w.r.t. to SIMD, there are two prongs to it:

* Platform dependent functions that match an upstream vendor's API. (Think __m128i and friends.)

* Platform independent APIs that provide portable vector APIs.

The former is necessary because the latter cannot ever hope to cover all use cases supported by CPUs. The latter is necessary because it can hit many use cases, and finding the optimal implementation for every operation for every permutation of platform (and every permutation of CPU feature on each platform) is a non-trivial task.

So yeah, that is indeed a ton of work. However, LLVM does a lot of the heavy lifting for us, particularly with respect to the implementation of the portable API. "All" we have to do is define an API we're willing to stabilize in `std`. (Which is no easy task.)

I'm less in touch with the inline ASM feature, but like most things, I expect it is much more complex than you're suggesting. You can read more about it on the tracking issue for inline ASM[1]. Remember, if we're stabilizing something, then we need to make sure it continues to work. If LLVM's doesn't uphold that guarantee, that we must necessarily provide our own interface that is stable. "Just expose LLVM's internals" is not really an acceptable answer, and it was in fact a large part of the SIMD effort (building APIs we can stabilize on top of what LLVM supports).

I'd also like to note that the stabilization of the former piece above (platform dependent vendor intrinsics) eats into many of the use cases for inline ASM. Not all of course, but many. :-)

I still don't see anyone addressing the elephant in the room: corporate, extensive personal data harvesting must stop.

If this is Facebook's business model, Facebook must go.

No one would allow the kind of pervasive intrusion put in practice by Facebook (and others) by the part of governing bodies, the police or the military. So why are we still allowing marketing companies to do it? Why are willing to let credit, insurance and health companies access our data in order to know us better than ourselves? When is this the price of a "better user experience"? It is disingenuous to say that people simply "agreed to this". No one can expect the average user to fully comprehend the inner workings of the modern web, and to what extent their data is being used, or even to keep up with changing terms of use for every single service.

Some, like Tim Cook, are starting to address the issue but not as directly as one would expect.
The whole point of emacs is that it is extensible, and easily so. That is the core thing that makes emacs great. And it means that, far from having extensions that are inferior to those on IDEs, it has many extensions that are far, far superior to the IDE equivalents. For example, magit I find a far superior git extension than the IDE equivalents. Something like org-mode simply has no rival in the world of IDEs, it is an incredibly powerful and flexible tool which contains all my notes and integrates well with "languages" even.

Or look at macro support. IDEs still have either non-existent, or comparatively poor macro support, which I consider vital. The amount of times as a developer I have to do some repetitive task, or worse, some semi-repetitive but needs a bit of intelligence here and there task, which can be accomplished using a macro with a bit of logic, is insane.

Emacs really is like a superset of IDEs. It does a whole lot of things that IDEs just don't do as well, and then it also does a bunch of things that IDEs do as well.

That is not to say I don't use IDEs. If I have to do java, I'll do it in intellij. If I have to do nearly anything else, I'll do it in emacs. And luckily, most IDEs seem to come with a set of emacs keybindings and plugins so jumping back and forth isn't even that painful.

Some additional ideas (though @amirathi has summarized it in an amazing manner)

* Make it so things roll the same if you're not here.

* Help them finding solutions but do not fix things for them.

* Get their respect not through fear and or forcing them, but by doing the boring things and showing them that you care about what they do.

* Do your best to make them shine, let them know how much value they create.

Once thing I experience at my current job and that I love is that I am both the 'manager' of the team and a developer inside the team.
I love this, even though it needs that you know exactly (and make known) when you wear which cap, is that you can achieve the above points easier.
I love being able to show them that I can design, code and work. That makes it easier for them to respect me.
I'm no physicist or astronomer but as far as I can tell I don't think what you said makes complete sense. While it's true that it remains to be explained why a certain galaxy doesn't have the same amount of DM as the others at a glance it doesn't seem particularly implausible that such dramatic variation could theoretically happen depending on what DM truly is and how it ends up in galaxies in the first place.

On the other hand you'd expect a modification to the theories of physics themselves like MOND would apply to all objects in the universe in the same way, if you find a galaxy where the model breaks down then the model is not good enough. That would be like finding a galaxy far away where gravity itself works differently, that'd be wild.

So as far as I can tell it does seem to discredit something like MOND more than DM because you expect physical laws to be universal while it's plausible that DM could not be distributed equally everywhere.

I have jumped around platforms quite a bit, and I try to use the IDEs that are available (right now I have XCode and PyCharm open on a Mac), but there is a steep learning and setup curve, and I usually don't have the time to work through a start-from-scratch tutorial, at least not initially. I am familiar with the sinking feeling that comes with realizing that my last hope is to use the search feature of the product's own help system, as it is so rarely productive.

Stack Exchange often makes the difference, but unfortunately many of both the questions and their answers are version-specific, but do not state the version they apply to.

There is a real art to making an IDE in which how to do all the common things is easy to find, and all the more esoteric features are discoverable. Maybe game designers could help?

from the book page 2:

So, what is a system? A system is a set of things-people, cells, molecules, or whatever-interconnected in such a way that they produce their own pattern of behavior over time. The system may be buffeted,constricted, triggered, or driven by outside forces. But the system's response to these forces is characteristic of itself, and that response is seldom simple in the real world.
