>Better take a compilers course to learn the differences between .NET and .NET Native.

It would seem you're the one in need of a course due to your inability to differentiate the difference between .NET and .NET Native.

>Interesting that you mention PWA, which happen to be pushed by Google's Chrome team, which has some Google IO talks bashing native apps as if Android wasn't made by the same company.

PWA is a platform for low end phones. It's funny that Microsoft jumped on the bandwagon so fast. When you're that desperate for apps on your cesspool of a store you'll take anything.

>At the same time they are pushing Flutter and Dart as replacement for those stacks.

Flutter and Dart are a cross platform development solution. They're also instrumental to Fuchsia - you know, the OS that'll make Windows suffer the same fate as Windows Phone.

>What a cohesive company, go figure.

Speaking of cohesive, how was your annual re-org?
> The argument should NOT be about playing with people’s lives now so im the future some people can have a better system.

Why not? That's how pioneers make progress, in new aircraft and spacecraft.

If people want to be on the bleeding edge, why not let them?

Even when design tools can generate code, they don't generate the code you probably want. On the desktop side, there have been more aggressive attempts to allow for code ahead to co exist with the code behind (e.g. XAML), but even then if any kind of abstraction is involved, hand written code will win in the end. There has been more work in academia about round tripping between code, and direct manipulable output (e.g. see Ravi Chugh's work).

Anyways, I'm a strong believer that design and prototyping should be firewalled off from production. Even when the assets are transferrable, the iteration speed demanded by the design process means they'll necessarily lack the polish of production assets.
Recent example I've come across. Wordpress used for a non-blog site. Sure it looks fine, but I can't deploy that to something that doesn't have PHP, which is more often the case these days.
Yup, you are rght and I was wrong. EU residents outside the EU are not covered by the GDPR. In practice, they may still be able to invoke many of the protections depending on how they are implemented.
>I don't know what is stopping them from simulating everything inside a computer.

Obviously they've already tried that, and it doesn't work. The map is not the territory.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
I have had 2 involuntary 3 month breaks between jobs and even though I was strapped for cash I really hated how much my mood fell apart without having the structure of work. I told myself I want to move away from having so much of my life's meaning defined by what work I do (while it's software for any enterprise anyway.) I'm at the stage now where I'm hoping to take off at least a month for travel next year.

Are there any learnings you had from your half a year break like this?
The studies differ on the timing of when that weakening began. Thornalley’s record, which spans those 1,600 years, suggests it started at the end of the little ice age, a period from about A.D. 1350 to 1850, when solar and volcanic influences depressed temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere and glaciers and ice sheets expanded. As the little ice age ended and temperatures warmed, ice melted and freshwater flooded into the North Atlantic. The results suggest the current state of the AMOC is the weakest it has been over that whole long record. Whether today’s state is just a continuation of that reaction or whether global warming has also started to chip in is not clear, he says. Caesar, meanwhile, put the turning point toward a weaker AMOC in the mid-20th century, suggesting it is due to the influence of human-caused warming. Her team’s record, however, does not extend as far back.

Indications of the process having started (edited) before humans could be responsible for it (few hundred years ago).
I see your point and agree with you to an extent but there are certainly degrees of voluntary.

A transaction at gunpoint is clearly not voluntary.

But what if I take you out partying, get you loaded up on tequila shots? Can you still make a voluntary transaction?

What if I know that you are cheating on your wife and hint that I won't say anything to her if you sold me your car for $100? In some sense of the word - this would be a voluntary transaction. At the same time, there's not much of a choice to be made.

Last theoretical scenario - I'm a steel tycoon and a multi-billionaire and I decide to buy up all the freight companies and airlines. You can ship whatever products you want on via my transport companies - except steel. You can only ship steel you've purchased from one of my companies. Is your decision to buy my steel voluntary?

A contract made under economic duress is voidable in many cases in the US, and for good reason. Voluntary isn't always as clear-cut as it seems.
You can buy Office for a one time cost of $149 for one conputer. I don't have a problem paying $9.99 a month or $99 a year for Office 365 for 5 computers and 5 tablets and phones. With 5 installations, that's enough for my laptop, my wife's, both of my sons and my mom. I can also use it on my iPad.

DropBox and Apple charge $100 a year for a terabyte of storage alone.

I really like JetBrains perpetual license, after a year, you get a permanent license to the version that was current 12 months from the time you subscribed - if you cancel your subscription in April 2018, you get to a license to whatever version was current April 2027.
I can't. I converted all my cash to a proof-of-work based altcoin called TBirdCoin, development stagnated, and now I'm broke.
I think the key is "probabilistic models" and "sensor fusion". Not more accurate GPS.

Let's say you know a guy is traveling at about 60 mph on a four lane road, two lanes in each direction.

Then the phone's acceleration sensors tell you the guy just moved "left" by 10 feet. A little while later you decide he just moved "right" by 10 feet. He goes back and forth a few times. You also make the assumption that he's not driving on either shoulder. So, you can guess that after he moves left he's in the fast lane; after he moves back right he's in the slow lane.

Phones are so sophisticated these day. Here's something from Apple I found after a quick search:

An accelerometer measures changes in velocity along one axis. All iOS devices have a three-axis accelerometer, which delivers acceleration values in each of the three axes shown in Figure 1.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coremotion/getting...

Edit: this can get a lot more sophisticated if you can combine data from multiple users in the same area. Let's say that people in the left lane are moving at 40 mph and in the right lane are moving at 30 mph. You can easily refine your guesses. All your left lane guys should be traveling about 10 mph faster than your right lane guys.

In fact that info is so widely available that I'd be surprised if Google and Apple weren't already using it.
>Another poster said something similar, but using the clock for this seems strange to me.

Does it matter if it seems strange to you? The GP gave real world examples of where this is an impact. I'm not sure why you are arguing against the design.
The NPR story has been retracted. Jeff Ervine lied, got called out, and for an anti-cyber bully activist, he did exactly what he complained of. The NPR link has a retraction posted at the link, on Facebook, and on its Twitter feed.

Every proposal like this seems to assume that the web is basically the same as paper, and therefore should have tools that work like print tools. And this may be true for many marketing sites, which are effectively posters with download buttons. This is probably the kind of thing the author has in mind, because his wishlist doesn't include anything to do with interactivity, video, sound, etc.

But these are the best parts of the web! As much as designers want to believe it, a web app isn't actually a series of pictures. There are far more possibilities than with paper, and you remove all of those possibilities when you insist on designing like it's paper.

I use an IDE with git integration. So I really never worry about most of this but I do also interact with the command line. When I create a new file in my IDE it asks me if I want to add it ...

I won't argue there is a relatively long learning period with git ... It helps if you have some experienced mentors in this area. But you get a lot of power for this...
Probably more useful. Not many people can remember street names, especially for places not frequently visited.

Also, Japan doesn't even have street names so we've always had 'turn left in xxx metres' since ever.
> a) the dwelling is occupied near-100%

That requirement is as sensible as saying that vancouver should outlaw residents from vacationing outside vancouver to ensure there are no vacant properties. Its not the goal to maximize each minute within a housing unit, thats not something you want to focus on.

> b) hotels, hostels and similarly-zoned dwellings are routinely at capacity

There is no need to look at such thing. In this case you are trying to look at each potential dwelling unit as an abstract unit and each resident as a unit, but they have their own differences and imperfections. Looking at such a metric will push you to think policies like moving long term residents to hotels!

I can tell you people travel a lot more because of airbnb, and that there are way more cities that don't care about airbnb at all because it doesnt affect their housing market significantly.

The wasm folks will add gc, polymorphic inline cache, dom interop, some time soon. That will enable things like browser side Perl, Python, Go, Ruby, etc, without having to push the whole runtime.

Nonetheless, the bloat train will resume at that point. And, the frontend will start having the same amount of fragmentation as the backend.

Good news for us, though, is job security. The resulting complexity helps us, at least in one way.

Web apps will be on equal footing and fragmentation as the old client/server model (vb, powerbuilder, delphi, c/x11/motif, visual c++ / mfc, dart/flutter, etc).

What comes around, goes around. The cyclic nature is pretty funny.
It's not a binary encoded AST anymore, it's pretty much a stack machine (with constraints like .NET which allow for easy conversion to SSA)

Why do you call it distortion? Its the opposite: the distortion is having empty properties, hotel taxes and zoning.

You make a weird argument: you mention the people that work in the city and want to live near it, and this argument has at least 2 flaws. The first one is that in a numbers game, the people that lose out on this exchange is a much smaller number than all the rest. That is, a small proportion of people see their conditions relatively worse because of how a third party does with their property. IF you put it up to a vote of all people involved, they would lose out big time.

The second is that you dont take into consideration that airbnb has made it cheaper and easier to travel for people of that socio-economic status as well. Its not only hipsters and software engineers that user airbnb. You have to weigh in the benefit of the consumer.
Sorry, good point. But C++ gives you templates as well as template metaprogramming, so my point still stands.
It's surprising that this isn't the standard right now. I'm certain the people at Tesla/Uber/Waymo have considered this - I'm curious why this approach isn't more common.
That's the median household income which often includes multiple workers and non-wage income. Median wage is about 30k according to the Social Security Administration[1] and they should know since they are supposed to get the wages for every single worker in the country reported to them.

It's important to get the relationship between IPFS and Filecoin correct. Saying "IPFS has a token called Filecoin" is not true, as IPFS works (today, right now) without Filecoin, which has not been built yet.

Filecoin is simply a way to store things in exchange for FIL (or vice-versa). Filecoin does depend on IPFS, but IPFS is a standalone project and does not require Filecoin to be useful.

Disclaimer: I work for Protocol Labs, specifically on the IPFS project
C++ has far more to offer over C than just template metaprogramming.

Basic memory management and error handling, for example, are radically easier and less error prone in C++ than in C. Less reliance on macros and goto's should be pretty obvious wins.

There's really very little reason to ever use C over C++ with modern toolchains.
At least in SF, there are (were) tons of cars all around the city for rent with Getaround. I had 10-15 within easy walking distance from my last apt there. I even had my couple of favorites that I rented on a regular basis to take off for the weekend.
I have only 3 lenses: 14mm Rokinon, 40mm canon pancake, and a Canon 70-200L II. I used to have a 24-70 gen 1, but sold it because it couldn't keep up with the 5DSr sensor. I always meant to replace it, but I never bothered. I would love to have the canon 11-24, but I'm only really interested in the 11mm end. I wish they just had a smaller, lighter, cheaper 11mm rectilinear.

Agree about walking around, moving, rather than zooming. Zoom is nice, but I feel like it is a privilege to earn, and I'm never really sure if I've earned it. It does provide some benefits.
Bull Pucky!

Let me tell you my story. By third grade I could not read. I didn't get it. How could people remember all those words? Yet I had one of those off the wall IQs. In third grade they put me in Remedial Reading taught by Mrs. Gordon. If there is a Heaven, then there must be a special place in it for people like Mrs. Gordon.

Up until then we were supposed to learn to read by reading. It was the big thing then: learn to read the same way we learned to speak: by doing it. It worked for lots of kids. Not for me.

Mrs. Gordon taught me phonetics. That summer I was reading novels.

I once read a textbook on cognitive psychology. The author ranted about how awful phonetics was.

Clearly there are differences in learning styles. VARK appears to be wrong. It looks like too much thought and too little experimentation to me.

That doesn't mean there aren't differences in learning styles.
I've been binge listening to Software Engineering Radio for the past few months. I am currently listening to an episode where they are talking about technical debt.

In the movie "Ready Player One" I had a pleasant memory triggered by the appearance of Matt Frewer, who played Max Headroom in the TV series later.

He's one of many tech / 80s cameos in the movie. I wonder if someone has counted them all.
Pioneers usually are people well aware that what they’re doing is risky. I doubt that the victims of the last Tesla crashes and of the latest Uber crash regarded themselves as Pioneers. They probably just wanted to safely arrive at their destination and relied on a feature marketed as being capable to bring them there.

The pioneers in this case are putting other people’s life at risk.

Wayne seems to demonstrate that improving self-driving cars without leaving a trail of bodies behind seems in the realm of possibility, so let’s measure Tesla against that standard.

Why? The "Better C" subset of D is not memory safe, which is one of the main reasons for suggestion Rust over C++ as an implementation language. What does D offer you over Rust in this case?

I've got a customer that wants to get access to the PTP[1] registers of a NIC from user space. The customer suggests that context switches introduce too much latency and indeterminism (pre systems integration phase - lots of software from different teams ends up running on the final platform) to introduce a reference monitor (capability-based microkernel or otherwise) given known techniques on modern hardware. I'm afraid I can't share the specifics because I don't have them, but I trust the source.

I will grant that this case is an outlier, but this customer use-case is real enough to drive development dollars. It may not be the norm, but precision timing access appears to be very useful in some hard real-time contexts given current hw/sw realities.

You don't need to look at assembly to avoid cache misses, you just need to understand what the language is doing under the hood in a general sense, then make sure you access memory in a way that it can be prefetched.

My guess is that it is either the program being written slightly differently or that swift is doing some sort of indirection under the hood.
I applaud you for being a designer who actually codes. I feel that a true designer in the modern web must have a strong grasp of interaction design and how to build those experiences, and the consequences of various design choices, and to me that must mean that they can speak those ideas in code.

I am sick and tired of designers who are mostly glorified pixel pushers that throw together something pretty, but give no thought to edge cases or application states that force their designs into becoming ugly or having a poor interaction, or just becoming downright unusable, all because they rely on shallow and antiquated schools of thought that were born out of the paper and magazine media industries. Pretty, but rigid designs.
Yep. I just need a "business ninja" to share 50% of it with.

Interesting. I'll have to look into those references.
"I'll just escape it" is a typical and yet unacceptable response to this.

There seems to be some sort of "cult" (for lack of better term) around this mentality of "it's too hard so don't do it", which unfortunately only makes things worse overall. Escaping rules are well-defined (they must be, by necessity), and sooner or later you're going to have to do something involving it; not to mention the important superset of things to keep in mind when writing code, of which escaping is only a fraction: the general principle of "consider all input". Always assume that all 256 values of a byte can and will show up in any external input, and plan accordingly.
Yes, I agree that using the handle to install an ambient clock is probably better than just having one exist, for the reasons you cite.
What you're describing is usually called teaching methods, rather than learning styles. Teaching methods are real, figuring out which ones work best is a field of its own, like mathematics education research. But the article is specifically about learning styles, which is a specific term in psychology and a different idea. I think it's unnecessarily confusing to mix up the two, learning styles aren't real and definitely not a "misnomer".
