Java 8 (and 9 more so) bring a lot of changes but more focused on core libraries than the language itself. Not as drastic as the changes JS has seen.

C++11 though is quite a bit different. Probably the biggest change being that raw pointers * for the most part should not be used anymore.
So cities should subsidize your multi-million-dollar operation by reducing urban on-street parking inventory and donating that space to you? Okay, but here's some free advice about how cities work: You won't get that by writing internet blog posts that contain false equivalencies (ie scooter rental companies and car manufacturers). You'll get it by wining and dining a lot of city councilpersons. Best get started.
Companies which abuse the public trust so severely and unethically should be forced to shape up or fined into the ground.
That’s kind of amazing... could you share why? Just to prove it could be done?

re: condescending repetition

It really is a form of not-at-all-subtle trolling. If you feel like you're talking to a wall on the internet, the correct move is to stop interacting with a waste of time.

Or don't repeat yourself, because the text is static, and it's not required. You put it there once, and it's still there. Forum sliding with spammy garbage doesn't make friends. Saying the same thing a different way still amounts to an internet fight, but it's arguing without trolling.
It's common to get a second vesting in your third year (or else your comp would go down). It's almost common to get a promotion around that time -- managers are responsible for promoting their employees, and it's taken seriously.
Mental Transaction Costs
I like this general approach, but presumably you don't want the point where 50% of the sequences have never been transmitted (on average, assuming randomly distributed data), you want the first point where at least 1 hasn't been transmitted, so you should be solving for the point where the probability of a sequence of that length not appearing times the number of sequences of that length is equal to 1.

That said it's a logarithmic scale so the length is probably not that much shorter than the one he came up with.

ORM and auto migration files. This is super easy in Django for instance, just:

python manage.py makemigrations
(commit them)
python manage.py migrate

I meant to say that it would be interesting to see benchmarks for dataset sizes meaningful for running distributed systems.
Hmm I would argue that both are equally challenging problems, that said, RPM for example has solved this problem for a while.

If you're going to deploy on say a RHEL7 distro, you can package your software in an RPM, declare its dependencies and have it run in a VM alone...

Or if you want to be even fancier you can use something like the Nix package management. I don't think Docker solves at all the problems with dependencies, it just creates an isolated environment to run something.

You will occur the cost of virtualization at runtime which is higher than a container and maybe managing the VMs through something like vSphere but I still think it's much easier to manage than something like Kubernetes. Lot easier to hire for as well.

That said, if I could use the cloud I would probably use managed K8S by GKE :), on premises, gotta evaluate the trade offs.

I've posted this before, I'll post it again:

I wonder if you know that the US passed legislation a few weeks back that lets the US government request any data on any user of an American company even if that user and their data are not on American soil. (Possibly thanks to GDPR) companies may object to that request if it contradicts local laws.

But yeah. Go on pretending that the EU lives to target American companies. From a European's point of view, American companies are not fined enough as they view privacy, data, sovereignty etc. as some abstract concepts that don't apply to them.
This would help!

Frankly, unwanted calls could be much less aggravating if phones had a proper UI.

In 2007, when the iPhone was first released, maybe the “phone” part was an important app. Now though, I can’t believe the phone app is still allowed to immediately interrupt anything I am doing and take over the entire screen!

What’s worse is that the Answer and Hang Up buttons could easily appear right under your fingers while you’re in the middle of using a definitely-not-phone app, causing you to do things you don’t want.

And why are my only options to “Do Not Disturb” (blocking everything, including stuff I don’t want to block), or to just sit and wait for the ringing to end? If I answer or hang up immediately, the spammer knows I’m a real person with a valid phone number and I probably end up on a list for more spam.

Here’s what I want: a checkbox that says “do not ever ring my phone, allow voicemail”, with an option to use a standard notification if a call comes in. Period. Tired of the full-screen-screw-whatever-you-were-doing-here’s-some-spam interface.
Speaking of color pigments, did you ever hear about “Mummy Brown”? Like the following article says, “it’s precisely what it sounds like”.

Even though you're gray (modded down), there's significant issues with the RPi. Here's some.

1. Boot is still a mystery. It boots from the GPU with "magic registers", then passes to the CPU...?

2. There's no specs available for the GPIOs. 5v tolerant? SPI max speed? Pullups/downs? Nada..

3. DRM baked in. RasPi foundation cheaped out on the MPEG2 decoder, and you need to pay $5 to enable hardware decoding.

4. Needs mystery black box kernel blobs.

5. No power management. No low voltage detection. Hope and pray method

6. Everything is on the USB. Bandwidth ends up sucking. They could have did ethernet on SPI.

I'd be forgiving if Postgres was a few-year-old project struggling for legitimacy. But Postgres is all grown up now, and shouldn't resort to the excuses of the unsuccessful and immature.

If they didn't care for design, then they should have stuck with the old look, like http://sqlite.org or http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/. Both are perfect examples of "we know exactly what we want to be and we don't need to worry about design".

But a half-baked result that pretends to be finished, suggests a lack of confidence in the software that it champions. Which is, frankly, unbecoming.

Yep. Status-seeking is definitely not the only reason people need money. And people who have it together don't piss it away on mere status symbols.

But to the extent that people are caught in a rat race, then I say it is rarely about money itself except as a means to social status. And as in my example of the rational king, even people who do have it together, need to play the status game in some form.
Oh I wasn't talking about card counting. I was talking about being able to determine, knowing the order of the cards going into the shuffle, whether or not the next shoe (after the shuffle) would have an overall positive or negative expectation. The theoretical expectation accounting for every single possible order of cards is slightly negative. However, if a massive percentage of the possible orders that the cards can be in is eliminated, the expectation may either be much more positive or negative than the overall theoretical return.

As a biker, having to park my bike at Walgreens and seeing the same Jump bikes parked at the bike stand, from the day before, and nowhere to park my bike is definitely a nuisance. Didn't really encounter this issue before, people normally come and go with their bikes. As a walker, when entitled scooter peeps jump on the sidewalk and start whizzing around you, and at almost hit you, it's a nuisance as well. I like the Ford Go Bikes/Citi Bikes, it's organized and it's a proven system in NYC and other cities, that doesn't burden others. Except those who lose parking spots in their neighborhood to docking stations.
It is. But the difference is that people's jogging runs and workout sessions don't typically create CO emissions on the scale of entire countries.

Let's say I'm a not entirely small company, with employees with phones on their desks who call customers and have direct numbers to be called. When they call out, the caller id should be their desk number so the people they're calling know it's them and answer the phone.

But the carrier that handles inbound calling charges an arm and a leg for outbound, so I'd like to use another carrier for outbound; I don't want to change my inbound carrier.

Yeah, they're predicting the outcome of a chaotic but deterministic process based on the output data given.

Surely they're discovering hidden (or obvious) regularities based specifically on the process being deterministic.

As a counter example, the Smale Horseshoe [1] is an example of a inherently unpredictable map - it's approximately equivalent to choosing a real number "at random" and attempting to "predict" each digit as you find it. Sure, if some implementation has chosen a number with repeating digits, you can "predict" those digits but this would have nothing to do with being an oracle for algorithm itself.

More broadly, I think it's pretty established that any realistic model of weather is kind of an extension of this concept - it depends unstably on it's initial conditions (small changes in initial conditions result in large changes in final result after some period).

One thing that always got traction at my small section of Apple was to say “there’s no way my technologically illiterate mom [or other family member] would ever figure this out”.

Usually the other person would look at it again and maybe change it.

You could even fire one of these critiques in a radar to some other unrelated part of the company and get some traction.

The important thing was that everyone knew what our mission was and who our target user was. We all spoke a common language of discoverability.

I don't have the numbers of total contributions, Samoa was historically an NZ protectorate and there are 144,000 Samoans who live in NZ who send a big chunk of their pay checks home, they also send a lot of money back to Samoa through the Samoan church groups.

I tried to find the information on the total flow of money from NZ to Samoa but the only things that I could find was the official government aid of $22.3 million, which compares to $35.8 million from Australia, but the aid from private citizens would be massive.

Auckland has the largest Polynesian population in the world and for quite a few pacific islands more of their citizens live in Auckland then back in their homelands, people are expected to come here and work and send all of their spare money back home.
it's people's personal vehicles and not companies private fleets that they are charging use for.

Isn't that worse? If they were car share cars, then at least local residents would be able to use them, but instead, all of those cars parked on city streets are usable by only a single person each.

For example, the city street I used to live on had around 250 housing units and about 40 street parking spaces. It would have been nicer if those 40 cars were car-share cars rather than being tied up by the 40 residents that got there first.

It was only because of the WSJ reporting that we can say Theranos “was not delivering what it was promising product-wise”. Before the investigation, hundreds of millions of dollars had been invested by ostensibly sane investors, nevermind partnerships with Walgreens and Safeway. Using your standard, no one should have paid the WSJ investigation any attention until the reporter was thoroughly versed in blood tech.

The Reveal reporters are making a claim about Tesla’s worker safety practices, and they have experience covering these issues. Why don’t you think that experience is relevant in the car making domain?

More to the point, Reveal’s story isn’t claiming that Tesla is misreporting injuries more than other car makers. It claims Tesla is misreporting injuries, full stop. It doesn’t require comparison.

Have used ClojureScript a little bit, Clojure a fair amount, a lot of coding in other Lisps.

Having code is useful! Yes! But it is easier if people are guided to it. On the reddit thread you link, you link to two tweets containing the homepages for languages like CoffeeScript, PureScript, and LispyScript. All of these pages have code on the main page, yes.

But note that on all of them, the code snippets are motivated. LispyScript has eight lines of code across six heavily explained examples. PureScript has five lines of code that come after a tagline that explains what the language is, then ten bullet points explaining benefits. Each example of Elm code is separately motivated. The user is never left guessing why the code is there: the first snippet is "Javascript Interop"; the second "No Runtime Exceptions".

Compare that to clojure-script.org/. The first thing I see when I load the page is "InterOp". Interop of what? The first English word I see on the page is "Microsoft". Is Clojurescript a Microsoft project? This is inverted, where the page wants to dive into details about Clojurescript before even explaining what Clojurescript is. You wouldn't display a Western-style horse saddle, expect them to figure out on their own the differences between that and an English saddle when you don't state them, and you definitely wouldn't talk about that before explaining what horseback riding is!
