> Only difference is that if you put it on the internet it's like building that shed in a public park

The difference here is that code published online has no assurances of being correct or adequate to the task.

Someone building a shed in a public park is, as far as I'm aware, generally not a regular occurrence and certainly you'd agree that a building on public property could be reasonably assumed to have been built to some sort of safety standards by a public body. There's a tacit agreement that, if I enter such a structure, I can reasonably assume it won't collapse on me due to poor design.

Code, on the other hand, is published online by hundreds of thousands of developers everyday. No reasonable individual can expect that any selection of that code is likely to contain anything that can be considered production-grade. Why are we taking the liability from the irresponsible corporation whose service gets pwned because they didn't review my shitty experimental crypto before using it?

Even popular and well used libraries and software shouldn't be held to this standard. You're expecting people who are building something in their free time to bear legal responsibility for the mistakes of an organization who is paying nothing to use their software. That's beyond not fair -- that would absolutely kill open source software and completely ruin the current ecosystem where a single developer and huge enterprises are on a similar level from an access-to-technology standpoint.

In the past week I've been assaulted and threatened twice by crazed homeless men. The first grabbed a glass bottle from his cart and raised it up as if he was going to hit me in the head (this was by Civic Center BART). The second charged angrily at me near Lake Merritt. I'm really fed up personally with the "homeless advocates" who are willing to overlook this violent and scary behavior in the name of social justice... We all have the right to live in peace.

I think the author's point is that despite being perceived as low-level, C doesn't really differ from, say, Java on the last bullet.

In other words, a programmer who sits down and uses C and not Java might think, "I am being forced to pay attention to irrelevant things and think in unnatural ways, but that's because I am writing fast code using operations that map to operations done by the physical machine. In a higher-level language like Java, more of these details are out of my control because they are abstracted away by the language and handled by the compiler."

I think the article does a great job dismantling this point of view, and telling the story that C is not so different from Java, aside from being unsafe and ill-specified.
None of the "registers" in x86 assembly are real. Few of the instructions are implemented in hardware, most are impelmented in software microcode.

Advanced hardware will re-order and pipeline instructions based upon data dependencies.

Sure it's not doing the exact same things the JVM does with bytecode but the point is that x86 assembly is not the language of the hardware. It's a language that the hardware+firmware knows how to interpret and optimize at runtime similar to what your JVM does with java bytecode.

It seems like one of those evergreen topics that applies to every Hollywood Age. Many early Hollywood films were adaptations of books. The Golden and Silver Ages involved a lot of adaptations of plays and musicals. Greek and Biblical history/myths have always been huge recurring topics. Most of the Disney Princessess are centuries old fairy tale characters of one sort or another. As much as we can laugh at how dumb their attempt at making the Dark Universe happen this decade, Universal really did get their start by churning out as many famous monster movies as possible and then blowing early moviegoers' minds by having those monsters meet and team up; it was film making's original franchise.

I don't think anyone has done a full inventory, but I think overall the risk-to-reward equations for original screenplays versus adaptations and franchises has hardly ever shifted over the years. If anything, the larger numbers of "indie" studios, non-traditional "studios" in play (Amazon, Netflix, YouTube), and the increasing ability for everyone to access filmmaking by modern technology likely lead us to a place where we may actually be at the height of original entertainment in films, whether or not Hollywood is leading or following that trend.

I built an Altair 8080 clone, just so I could play Star Trek (CPM) and watch the lights blink. Too cool.
I had an interesting conversation earlier today.

Let's say that we are in a small team, maybe five or six people. One person comes to work sad, upset.

Nothing has to be said. We stop what we're doing and help, right? We're not schmucks. We take time to listen, we reassure the person they're important, we celebrate their being part of our group.

Now let's expand the scale several orders of magnitude and change the medium. We are now part of some online system: Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, whatever. There are tens of millions of people all in one big virtual room.

Somebody mentions they are upset online. When we see something wrong or something we care about online, we type things in -- somewhere. We feel moved to act. Without something being said, the feelings don't exist to us.

Does that really do what it's supposed to be doing? I know our motivations are good, and in many cases there are fine words provided, but are we really helping and caring about people simply because we're tweeting, retweeting, hashtagging, typing our personal stories in, and so forth?

Is a text message saying "You are important to us" the same as going over to somebody, giving them a hug, having them look around the room at people who care about them, and telling them same thing?

Assuming it is, there's huge bunch of people involved. On any one day, a million people could be living out some horrible experience because of something in their lives. How could we know unless they type things in, and what kinds of things are those folks going to feel if they type things in and nobody responds?

I don't know which is worse. Maybe this type of communication is effectively showing our feelings and makes a difference -- and some people are just going to be ignored. Or maybe it's just so much self-stimulation, telling ourselves we're somehow doing something of importance when in fact all we're doing is making various people internet famous from day to day.

We tech folks keep assuming that human communication somehow all boils down to bits moving over a wire. That may be a terribly lossy way of looking at it.

People have always told the same stories over and over, updating them with tweaks along the way. Most if not all of Shakespeare's works were "remakes" of older versions of the same tales. Operas, ballets, and religious music of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries retread the same source material over and over. The main difference now is that we've entrapped ourselves into a false idea that perpetual copyright is a cornerstone foundational right, not only for creators, but for their kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids.

The problem is that people want the easy access of Uber (taking the term generically) jobs but when they get it, they also want the security and paternalistic perks of standard employment jobs. Of course, this can not exist together - the whole point of Uber jobs is that they are not standard employment, that's why they are so easily accessible and so easy to respond to demand.

It is a fundamental contradiction - the perks of standard employment is exactly what makes it more expensive and less dynamic. You can not solve this fundamental tradeoff by introducing some new classification - whatever classification you choose, you'd have to place it somewhere on the spectrum between complete isolation (like ads board having nothing to do with advertised businesses) and complete integration (like full-time union employee).

Whenever you place it, it would be a tradeoff between the interest of the employer, the employee and the consumer. In ideal unicorn-rainbow world, the optimal points would be decided by a free market. In real world the fixed points would probably be negotiated by courts, lawmakers, unions and brazen new companies like Uber finding new optimum spots on the spectrum not explicitly prohibited by the regulators. Of course, the regulators can prohibit those spots then, and that's what is smart for Uber to fight - without it, they're back to existing spots and then what's the point in them being there?

The best TLD for a commercial business is .COM, the best TLD for a non-profit is .ORG, and for other kinds of web apps, .NET will suffice.

These three TLDs are half the price of this .app gTLD. In fact all gTLDs are stupidly over-priced.

Furthermore, a .com can satisfy 100% of the needs of your organization. a .app will only ever satisfy a tiny niche of your needs. So instead of an organization needing 1 .com for $10/yr, they suddenly need half a dozen gTLDs for all their various services, at a cost of $20-$50/yr each.

If this is starting to sound like a giant racket, then you're paying attention.

I wouldn't even say conveniently forgot, I'd say it didn't even cross my mind. It is perhaps also representative of why people don't consider Ada when picking out a language.

That said, I agree that it'd be moving the goal posts to omit paid libraries.

--

I do think we have slightly different ideas of "Systems Programming", or at least what production ready means for that type of language. I think it boils down to the fact that people do a lot more in "Systems Programming" languages than just OS or implementing and providing interfaces. Specifically, people do it for performance and control, which I don't necessarily excludes the use of libraries.

I think the contention here is that people are thinking of production ready for these types of languages in terms of general use, not just the niche you describe. In retrospect, I do think it was a poor way to word it.

I guess I'd probably amend the original comment to say something like "Rust is the first production ready systems programming language that can comfortably (after a learning curve) be used at higher levels".
Amplitude Analytics | San Francisco, CA (SOMA) | https://www.amplitude.com | ONSITE
