To make it clear: what people eat and how they exercise is a very personal matter. Social engineering is intrusive and objectionable. When done with a shakedown its particularly intrusive.

I'm sensitive to this topic. Live in a University town. Periodically some idealistic students petition the City Council for some totalitarian ban as part of a social engineering agenda. The latest was, Permit only Organic Coffee to be sold in the city limits.

This clueless banning/taxing/penalizing folks for living as they please is inconsistent with American values. More typical of nanny states and other less savory government styles.

Agree, centralization is not a good thing. There is a wealth of indepth information and informed discussion on many forums and online communities, some of which are now 10 years and older. That knowledge cannot be easily replicated.

But many, perhaps focused on topics that young people would gravitate towards, are dying and it does seem newer generations prefer Youtube, Reddit and others over old style forums. But these also tend to be superficial with fleeting connections, a lot of trolling and bad behavior, with any kind of in-depth discussion usually not possible.

> Obsolete is a bit of an exaggeration. As far as I know, almost all programming (including for mobile devices) is still done with a keyboard and a mouse, and I honestly don't see this changing anytime soon...

How many programmers and developers are there vs consumers? The traditional keyboard and mouse interface is dying in consumer space. Sure it will live on in business and content creation, but the majority of development going forward is pushing people onto mobile reinforcing it as the standard for interfacing to a computer.

Not that it affects your overall point, but it's worth noting both that the new design has a rather nice 'compact' view, and that their new ad placement method (right in the post stream) could have been done with the old design.

> The hardware prefetch is not really efficient when N>7, because each list element is spread over several cache lines, plus the prefetching is not able to cross page boundaries.

Could you explain the first part of the sentence (about the list elements spreading over several cache lines)? It's true that the elements do not fit into a cache line for N>7. But is that important for the prefetcher? Shouldn't the regular access pattern to the "en.n" be detected by the streamer prefetcher (without shuffling, of course)?
Such things are to be kept to a minimum. Whiskey/cigarette taxes were initially to fund the early US government in time of need. But that precedent has been used to justify any social engineering stunt somebody comes up with for decades.
>So are telephone numbers and addresses considered very private in the US?

Very private? Not usually. Unless someone chose (and paid) to have them unlisted, they used to be in published whitepages. And the overwhelming majority of people didn't pay to have them removed.

Today cellphone numbers are typically more private although addresses for most people are still usually pretty easy to find and are often part of a public record that can be searched.

That silly argument is one of the core tenants of western Liberalism.

My home is an intimate comfort zone. The entirety of life should not be a comfort zone. There are plenty of views that should be tolerated in society that I wouldn't invite into my home.

> Nobody needs to go out of their way to provide a forum for racists.

It seems like they're not going out of their way to censor that specific form of speech. That's quite different than going out of their way to provide a forum for racists specifically.
The best case scenario is that each person is empowered to answer those questions themselves. The worst case scenario is to have someone else define for you what winning is and how you should go about doing it.

> blockchain is absolutely not the only decentralization support, and might be the worst candidate to store data ever

Thank you! Was about to reply the same thing when I read that comment.

> for example, strong consensus as in the blockchain can be achieved using stellar consensus protocol

I don't really think a social network needs that much consensus. Not for personal data anyway. As you control your own data, there is no need for consensus with others :)

Resources, including most relevantly attention, are finite. That's why the attention is only on Facebook now, when it should already be on these others as well. Much as I'd love for people to see all of the picture at once when they're trying to make policy, I don't think that's what really happens.
I originally did. This was fine when the scripting was just doing data setup in advance, and it wasn't being run per-frame as game logic. When I started The Spatials V3 (aka Galactology) I also started doing real time game logic in s7. After enough code it became clear that the fastest purely interpreted scheme wasn't fast enough to be put into a soft real time path (the game grew up to hundreds of systems, in the ECS sense).

So I made a 6 months long gameplay development freeze last year and I converted all the s7-flavored Scheme code into the l2l Lisp dialect with a custom transpiler (which had to be aware of all the s7-ism plus my own s7 reader macros), and replaced the C++ binding layer with sol2. This resulted in a ten-fold increase in performance when the game is limited by logic perf (it's not visible with an empty new game). LuaJIT is alien technology for all I know.

> that applications can't share an interface

Of course they can share an interface, I even pointed out the vale switch as an example of this [1]. And it is very fast.

The thing is isolation and granularity that microkernels happen to have force certain design and implementation choices that benefit both performance and security on modern systems. And monolithic kernels while theoretically can be as fast and as secure actually discourage good designs.

I don't think it is a good blog post. He first criticises exception handling as undefined behavior which it is certainly not, and then criticises exception handling in general because it decouples error raising from error handling. This is whole point of exception handling because they should be used for non-local errors. Most of the "errors" handled in Martin's projects ZeroMQ and Nanomsg (which are both great libraries btw!) should not be handled as exceptions, as they are not unexpected values but rather states that have to be handled. Here, he uses the wrong tool for the job and criticises the tool.

He then criticises exceptions thrown in constructors and favors a init-function style. I never had any problem with this because I follow the rule that there shouldn't be much code in the constructor. The one and only task of a constructor is to establish the object's invariant. If that is not possible, then the object is not usable and the caller needs to react and shall not use the object.

In the second series, he first compares apples (intrusive containers) and oranges (non-intrusive containers), and then argues that the language forces him to design his software that way. Basically he argues that encapsulation makes it impossible in his case to write efficient code, and that you have to sacrifice it for performance.

However, with C++, you can extract the property of being an object in an intrusive list into a re-usable component, e.g. a mix-in, and then use your intrusive list with all other types. I can't do this in C in a type-safe manner, or I have to modify the structs to contain pointers, but why should they have anything to do with a container at all?

Besides that, I think that Martin is a greate programmer who did an amazing job with ZeroMQ. But I have the impression that he is wrong in this case.

Some coverage from 2016:

https://venturebeat.com/2016/08/05/orkut-founder-launches-he...

Today's news burst seems to be that Hello has launched in India.
His idea has to be good enough to risk a shit tone of money, live savings and the future/well being of his family.

For a demo or something special enough, it wouldn't hurt him at all to invest 10-50k in assets but everything else would be down right crazy.

I don't think it would make sense at all to hope for a second minecraft or whatever and risk a million bucks for it.
He stole the idea from the twin brothers who hired him and used the leading metric of @university email addresses to create contextual-relational importance for viral growth, so it's not surprising.

Makes me wonder if he or someone else came up with/suggested original The Facebook name.

I don't think Mark's developed the open pathways for deep critical thinking, say that Elon Musk's thoughts all stem from - foundational principles being something he's commonly referred to.
Orkut was so popular in some parts of the world like India that I always wondered why Google thought it better to shut it down. All those orkut users moved to Facebook & made Facebook a hugely popular platform. I hope the same does not happen with Hello.

It does not matter. More than 40 of the 50 persons on that panel received money from the little boy bot. You want to bring down Facebook, gonna take something else.
Instead of dropbox, I'd recommend using something decentralized like Syncthing. I have a similar setup and recently changed to using Syncthing to keep my password database synced on all my devices.
>As someone who has moved from using Ember daily for 2+ years to now using React/Redux, I miss Ember on a daily basis. React suffers from lack of standardization like no other. I hate starting a new project or working on an existing project and having to think about where to put things.

And it shouldn't even have to sacrifice it's "open/modular" nature to fix that.

The core team (Dan, etc) could just adopt/suggest a few specific companions (router, redux, etc) that they consider "official" part of React, and still allow open interfaces for people to be able to replace them with whatever they want.
Ignoring the name (which everyone else has commented on), this looks nice. I like the colour scheme too; it reminds me of custard. The simplicity of the dashboard is pretty refreshing and it looks well documented for a new product.

"Where do you get the music from though?"

I personally download actual mp3 files from Amazon (not amazon "music" but just purchase actual tracks). In fact, I continue to be pleasantly surprised that in 2018 one of the big providers is doing something as simple and friendly as this: selling me unprotected, plain old mp3 files.

However, they are compressed mp3 files and not suitable for future transformation so if there is an album that I want, I will still purchase the actual CD and rip it to the full WAV/PCM.

My system is a mac pro (2009) which still has an optical drive. I use the (excellent) 'abcde'[1] tool to rip the CDs. I particularly like the fact that it pops up a 'vi' session with the gracenote/cddb/metadata so I can quickly "fix" the usually braindead cddb entry right in the workflow.

If I understand what you are saying, I think I might be able to give a personal anecdote to show that most definitely, some "friction" is required to get people organizing and socializing as they traditionally would (outside of social media), and why social media isn't enough:

In October 2017, my area was hit by the worst wildfires in California history. For days, there was no power, there was no internet (mobile or otherwise), there was no 911. We had AM/FM radio and our neighbors.

For all intents and purposes, we were back to the 1900s.

What happened? Well, people in my neighborhood (neighbors) who were all on edge - who had LARGELY ONLY EVER INTERACTED VIA SOCIAL MEDIA (myNextDoor and facebook) - suddenly found that SOCIAL MEDIA wasn't enough.

Within hours, people were organizing and talking, and sharing information in the streets. I met most of my neighbors that week that we had to go without internet access - people I have lived next to for 5 years now, but never had a conversation with. Literally everyone kept to themselves and used MyNextDoor as a proxy for traditional interaction.

Also, social media became toxic during this event - False information was spread rapidly in unofficial groups, evacuation orders which were never issued were reported as fact, etc. Our local PD ended up putting out 24x7 hourly updates to stop the flow of bad information.

TL;DR: During the October 2017 wildfires, power and internet were out for days -- the "friction" of this event (plus limited access) showed me that people in crisis / who need to organize can't do so via social media alone. Inevitably, small groups of neighbors organized physically to help ea. other out - and the disaster was the catalyst for this.

Edit 1 - Added notes on bad parts of social media during natural disaster.

PS: Apologies for the length. This was a traumatic event, and verbalizing this here has been therapeutic.
Bro, do you even have flair?

Reddit started sucking the larger it got. It was decent from 2005-2010, been a shitfest since and increasingly getting worse.

The early flame wars were fun though when they first got comments working.
By that reckoning I should have been long dead. Of course this is 'statistics' and I'm just one individual but I do believe there are compensating factors. If you're a night owl but you otherwise live a healthy life you could very well outlive your early rising, smoking, hard-drinking cousin.

These overly simplistic conclusions from single cause to effect add up to unrealistic expectations of what living like a saint could achieve. So far nobody seems to have been able to beat 135 or so, and even that must be the best way to spend a large chunk of your life terribly bored.

Playgrounds, home improvement, participating in traffic, working late -> reduced life expectancy.

So, the best way to live a really long life is to be an early riser and to never leave your house.

There was a lot of curious phrasing in the article and is very unclear. It starts off with the line "those who tend to stay up late and sleep in well past sunrise are at increased risk of early death". But then goes on to talk about the health consequences of Night Hawks trying to live as Morning Larks.

So the article is saying don't sleep in or you'll die young but if you get up early your health will suffer adversely?
You’d think that an app that had the foresight to ask which pronouns their users preferred would not limit it to two options, or at the very least wouldn’t require an answer.

Also strange that an app asking me for my real name isn’t being louder about their stance on privacy at signup (given the present climate).

That said, it feels like mobile-only Reddit, but without the user base.
An ideology that requires killing random people always seems flawed to me.
>I think there is a lot of tribalism in the js community and liking one framework (often the one you use for work) is synonymous with hating the others.

As in nature in general, it helps, from an evolutionary standpoint.

Having too many, and letting them all be, instead of people rooting for their favorite and having one or two emerge as the leaders, leads to dispersion of resources, confusion for newcomers, and multiple weaker implementations of the same thing...

Even if the emergent leader is not the best, the mere fact of it having eclipsed the others, means tons of work, libs, documentation, books, support etc will be concentrated towards it.

And it's better to have one leading framework that's 3/5 good with huge community and support, than a 5/5 good framework with lackluster community and support.

Please please please pick a theme. Even a vague, open-ended one will provide some creative tension and give "reviewers" a starting point when reviewing.
That was obviously (I hope?) just one example. C++ has a huge set of overlapping features, some of which have been introduced as a better alternative of older features. Their interaction is extremely complex. It's great that your team manages to steer a large, old codebase without trouble, but most of the ones I've seen can't, and this complexity is part of why they can't.

> Jane Average user could care less about blockchain hosted personal data.

Agreed, but judging from the last few weeks, Jane Average apparently does care:

- they have control over their data

- can see the stuff they want

- and can have good blocking tools

Which all require decentralisation (in latter case because open APIs hurt monopolies).

End users don't care about data structures in any system, centralised or not.
We don't know that there aren't parts of the brain that use a fetch decode execute loop. The paper points out that although the 6502 does in fact work that way, this is far from obvious when examining it at the transistor level.

There seems to be far less competition and much more state-heavy financing in the aerospace industry than autonomous cars. Not to mention higher capital requirements than a mobile app + customer service + sales team.

It's really not surprising it hasn't taken on the same form of multiple high growth startups + big company acquisitions all over the place.

But that said, it seems far more entrepreneurial, iterative, founders with big dreams, etc than the space industry ever has in the past. They could certainly use more of it.

Although, even the golden children like Planetary Resources failed to get a financing round and delayed their "asteroid mining" project indefinitely. So it isn't easy to aim high.
