Is it really discredited? What are your sources? I tend to believe (with no actual evidence, since there is none), that the ecosystem will adapt to whatever damage we do to it using the tried-and-tested method of natural selection.

Most mainstream conversations about this are entirely anthropocentric and assume we have to be part of that equation. They always assume we're the top of the food chain. But whereas most of us will never be eaten by a tiger, pretty much all of us will be eaten by bacteria one day. Microbial life has been around for far longer, and is far more abundant than we can ever hope to be. I don't think much we can do will fundamentally alter that balance.
This is old news. Please add 2012 to the title.

Let's assume we push it from 20% to 23% (I don't think we can expect the huge gains you posted) by using various weird features such as whether you like to purchase odd or even number of bananas.

People's live will depend on the decisions of these machines so people will start trying to game them. They will make sure to always purchase odd number of bananas, they will wear hats but only on Thursdays etc etc.

Now two things happen. As more people game the system the rules need to be updated. Suddenly it's all about buying bananas divisible by three and wearing hats on weekends. The people who tried to follow the previous advice got screwed over, and what's more they have nothing to show for it. Instead of making people do useful things like paying bills on time and saving up some money, it made them follow some weird algorithmic fashion. Because of this expenditure of energy on meaningless things we may see that now only 18% of people would manage to pay back loans on time.
I think a more charitable interpretation of the parent comment was that of a doomsday thought experiment/rhetorical question: What would happen if these bacteria evolved to really be able to cause damage one day? The article only briefly remarks:

> If these hurdles can be surmounted, though, PETase might make a dent in the scourge of plastic waste.
You kinda missed the main point. Musk's business is focused entirely on improving existing, proven, old technologies.
I once implemented a specialized contiguous stack structure that used this trick to automatically reallocate the stack. (The stack was state for a compiler-generated backtracking NFA.) The handler would longjmp to code that realloc'd the stack and restarted the NFA. (No internal pointers so resetting the NFA state and restarting was trivial.) I forget the exact performance improvement, but compared to the original code with explicit boundary checks I think it was several multiples faster.

Unfortunately signal handlers are process-wide. These tricks are a bad idea for code that needs to play nice with other code (i.e. libraries, modules, etc) unless you know the process won't be multithreaded or you can own SIGSEGV.

In the above hack I used sigaltstack, which is thread-local, to communicate per-thread state to the handler, allowing the scheme to work multi-threaded and to detect unintended faults. (The alt stack memory region used special page-aligned offsets so I could derive a thread-local object that didn't overlap with the signal stack.) Still, such a scheme is too ugly to hide inside a blackbox component which is why these tricks rightly don't see much usage. Your code and my code could have never run in the same process.

Conway's Law validates a decision to move to a service-oriented and/or microservice architecture. Each service ~= a business unit or department.

Even better is that such an architecture requires (or at least greatly benefits from) specifying precisely the communication between the interacting parts in the form of interfaces.

IIRC there is a study that Steve McConnell mentions in one of his books (sorry, I can't find the link) that shows that the number of bugs introduced into system is highly correlated to the number of lines of communication between the people or teams that write it. Add another team and that number potentially rises exponentially. Conway's Law is the scaffold on which all these understandings hang.

Well, as far as I remember that doesn't include the assets, so to play the actual game you still need the asset files.

Nevertheless, I appreciated the open source release very much back in 2005, as it allowed you to learn C programming in a friendly way. Not just that testing is like playing a game, but they have build a lot of platform independent functions to provide cross platform support.
Using uBlock Origin, uMatrix, or NoScript gets you very far in this regard. You don't need to whitelist that many scripts on each site before they start functioning.

But no, it shouldn’t be illegal. Yet what he said still completely applies to stuff like fiddling with ids on a site where you suspect it might lead to content you shouldn’t be able to access

I agree with you on this point and it's what scares me the most about the whole blockchain "revolution".

> Why wont specialization of labor take over again

That could happen. But what could also happen is that people start relying less exclusively on one relatively massive source of income, and instead start relying on several, parallel smaller ones.

I think that's already the case in non-Western parts of the world, and one of the reasons why it hasn't taken place (at least in Europe) is regulation - think of how you can't just sell food on the side of the road in Paris, which you can do in, e.g. Bangkok.
Probably you're just oversimplifying for brevity or something. But I've worked at plenty of projects where the team was sitting together, the product was a monolith, and it was still a problem. Coordination becomes easier, sitting together, but the need to coordinate, or the level with which people start "stepping on each other's toes" (code-wise) isn't reduced by it. I'm not saying all monoliths are bad, or that you would never want one, but when it becomes a problem, there's little consolation in sitting together.

Washington, DC is absolutely not an ideologically diverse place, by basically any measure. 93% (!) of the city voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The original idea behind this kind of drinks, at least for italian "cordiale" offered to troops as part of their military daily rations[0], was a way to get rid of cheap grappa that was unsuitable for selling.

Note that grappa is made out of pomace[1], which is a compost of all the leftovers from winemaking (such as seeds, pulp, stems and must), therefore pretty cheap to make.

Just sell it in the App/Play store. (Unless something restricts that in store policies,) you can still provide an open source license and the code in Github while charging money in the stores.

I'm willing to bet most people will rather pay small fee to have it installed from store and have automated updates than compiling it from the sources and running it themselves.

People who want to fiddle with the code or get the app for free can use the code and compile it themselves and people who value ease of use, can just one-click buy it.
Free Bet9ja Prediction of 20  Odds 16-04-2018
A few months ago I read an article about Telegram and their related companies and individuals. [1]
The article read like a mix between a nerdy James Bond story, a bad Law and Order episode, a Mexican soap opera and a Russian episode of Cribs.
It was written by an ex-employee so I took it with a grain of salt.
Nevertheless, the article brings up a lot of red flags and shady behavior. Combined with their (alleged) connection with the Russian government, roll-your-own-crypto and the recent >billion dollar ICO it doesn't really make me all that willing to use Telegram any time soon.

Maybe a useful way to think about this is Positive/Normative distinction.

Science is "amoral" in your sense, it's trying to describe how things really are, and make predictions. So is the stock market: you're rewarded for correct predictions, whether or not others regard those outcomes as desirable.

Of course we are also moral beings, interested in changing things for the better. And we have varying and contradictory ideas about what better means.

As soon as you say "steer social structure at scale" the question is: who gets to steer? If this were obvious, then we wouldn't need democracy, we could just all work together not to "reproduce past inequalities"... but we can't.

At the begining of the year there was a huge roar about the GDPR. Now it finally becomes more understandable by everyone why EU has created it. And quite frankly, rest of the world will need to start pushing for the same or even harsher legislation. Companies has pushed the whole thing too far :(

GDPR will to large amount take care about 3rd party tracking based on two things: the consent needs to be given for each and every 3rd party tracker site before it is loaded and another thing is that the website owner will be held liable if 3rd party provider will abuse the data without consent or use it for non stated purpose (sell it to someone else f.i.).

Just wanted to say that communication patterns and specifically communication overhead can and should be reflected in modularization of software. If two people can talk to each other very easily (because they're sitting near each other) then maybe (!) separating their code through e.g. APIs doesn't need to be that strict compared to teams who never talk to each other in person. These are not hard rules, but good guidelines.
(Modularization isn't for free, so there's always a balance.)

> Dutch ovens are necessarily really heavy aren't they?

I think they just feel that way because we hold them extended with one arm. In a backpack with tonnes of other stuff I doubt it would be that noticeable. I've mostly used much thinner pots and found they work well though, the al-foil approach too.

> If the idea of an oven is uniform heat (idk, is it? IANAC), that buried in coals & stones seems pretty good, with foil to keep ash out. If hot air is part of an oven (again, idk), maybe a little space at the top could constructed too.

The main thing is you want the charcoal to cool a bit first, not red hot straight from the fire, then the thickness doesn't matter and it will be uniform enough.

There's a chance I could be forgetting some stuff here because it's been a long time. If you've got a wood fired BBQ (not many do anymore) they make an ideal testing ground every time you have a BBQ, that's where I learned my craft as a kid.
