You're right.

I remember reading some research comparing the emotional value of face-to-face, phone, and textual interactions. Text interactions got zero or near zero value. A phone interaction was better, but still of course, not as good as a face-to-face one.

But i trully wonder if electronic communications(even assuming you can get high quality, face-to-face with eye contact and body language) are a valuable direction to go into for friendship ? maybe we humans aren't supposed to live in such huge groups, and do need the constancy of a tribe around us ?
> It finds that loneliness is widespread in America, with nearly 50 percent of respondents reporting that they feel alone or left out always or sometimes.

I know this is going to sound a bit hostile to younger generations, but perhaps if they put their phones down and stopped looking at screens they would see the person sitting across the room. Perhaps they might even talk to that person.
I wouldn't be satisfied, and I think that's already available. My Facebook posts are my posts, while emails I send you are yours. In my mind, it's very much like the difference between putting up signs in my yard vs. sending letters.

I get that the legal issues are different, and that there's no requirement that Facebook provide this functionality, but they already provide some limited control via deleting accounts and individual posts, so I dont think it's unreasonable to expect.
I thought it was possible they didn't have "safe, secret" backups (the implication here hopefully being obvious from context clues. A general principle of good discourse is to assume the interpretation that makes the most sense instead of picking apart targets you yourself would know how to respond to if you were in the adversarial position)

Another way to put it, "You thought I thought they didn't have backups of their data? your face"

Email: hey@workwithgosha.com

Hey, I’m Gosha.

I see how programming is just connecting business objectives with reality, not a craft unto itself.

Languages are all the same to me. I also wrote toy languages and primitive type systems.  I’ve been doing a lot of mobile and front-end work past couple of years, but I know my way around back-ends, architecture, deployment.

Most of my experience comes from consulting. You can see my some of past works & references here: http://goshakkk.name/works/

I also keep a blog about React Native & React (http://goshakkk.name) and have self-published a book about forms in React (http://goshakkk.name/the-missing-forms-handbook-of-react/).

I’m only looking for jobs in product companies. No agencies.

Disclosure: not in the US yet, but will get the green card and move there in summer.

Note: my handle has nothing to do with the kkk.
I can buy a 1000 piece chicken McNuggets for $5 at McDonalds. Sure it's not nearly as cool as a fresh local meal from a nice restaurant, but dinner for 2 for $120? That's outrageous. I'd rather just have my money, thanks.

Covers are interesting. The imprint has gone for a “classic oil painting” style as a general rule of thumb and those need to be PD as well of course. That’s trickier than it sounds in the US, as to be PD they need to have been published in a book in the US pre-1923. For example, the edition of Crime and Punishment I worked on has an Edvard Munch as cover art.[1] I managed to find that reprinted in a copy of “Scandinavian Art”, published in the US in 1922.[2] Unfortunately just looking at the PD tags on commons.wikimedia isn’t good enough as they rarely provide proof and anyone can edit them; the project could get into real copyright trouble without having proof of PD.

Google Reader does not fit the pattern of EEE; if anything, it shows their failure to pursue it. EEE with Reader would be to add proprietary extension to feeds and transform it into a closed system. What they actually did was lose a bunch of people for alternative readers, for Twitter and for Facebook.

AMP for email does seem a good example.

RCS is not developed by or supported exclusively by Google. They weren't even the first; Vodafone had it on their phones for years. Google is late to the party.

--

My opinion is not that Google is ethically above doing EEE; it's that they're often too disorganized and erratic to actually pull it off even if they wanted to.

At this point I'm strongly in favor of the nuclear option: a state-level proposition to implement uniform pro-density zoning reforms.

It should also include at least a selective repeal of proposition 13 for non-occupant residences and a re-assessment of all such residences to tax those who are using our real estate as a financial instrument rather than a place to live.

I'd also be in favor of an extra tax on out-of-state residences held by non-occupants and on out-of-state non-occupant purchases.
> The root cause of the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities was that processor architects were trying to build not just fast processors, but fast processors that expose the same abstract machine as a PDP-11. [...]

This strikes me as a flavor of the VLIW+compilers-could-statically-do-more-of-the-work argument, though TFA does not mention VLIW architectures.

C or not, making compilers do more of the work is not trivial, it is not even simple, not even hard -- it's insanely difficult, at least for VLIW architectures, and it's insanely difficult whether we're using C or, say, Haskell. The only concession to make is that a Haskell compiler would have a lot more freedom than a C compiler, and a much more integrated view of the code to generate, but still, it'd be insanely hard to do all of the scheduling in the compiler. Moreover, the moment you share a CPU and its caches is the moment that static scheduling no longer works, and there is a lot of economic pressure to share resources.

There are reasons that this make-the-compilers-insanely-smart approach has failed.

It might be more likely to be successful now than 15 years ago, and it might be more successful if applied to Rust or Haskell or some such than C, but, honestly?, I just don't believe this will work anytime soon, and it's all academic anyways as long as the CPU architects keep churning out CPUs with hidden caches and speculative execution.

If you want this to be feasible, the first step is to make a CPU where you can turn off speculative execution and where there is no sharing between hardware threads. This could be an extension of existing CPUs.

A much more interesting approach might be to build asynchrony right into the CPUs and their ISAs. Suppose LOADs and STOREs were asynchronous, with an AWAIT-type instruction by which to implement micro event loops... then compilers could effectively do CPS conversion and automatically make your code locally async. This is feasible because CPS conversion is well-understood, but this is a far cry from the VLIW approach. Indeed, this is a lot simpler than the VLIW approach.

TFA mentions CMT and ULtraSPARC, and that's certainly a design direction, but note that it's one that makes C less of a problem anyways -- so maybe C isn't the problem...

Still, IMO TFA is right that C is a large part of the problem. Evented programs and libraries written in languages that insist on immutable data structures would help a great deal. Sharing even less across HW/SW threads (not even immutable data) would still be needed in order to eliminate the need for cache coherency, but just having immutable data would help reduce cache snooping overhead in actual programs. But the CPUs will continue to be von Neuman designs at heart.

I have never encountered a nude photo (or sent one) on any of the dating apps I've used (Bumble, Coffee Meets Bagel, League).
Good move for Facebook.

Bad move for users.
Yes, it would make a difference there. My question is in regards to the top-level comment, will people notice the difference?

For example: If my mother "cleared her history", I really doubt she would notice the worse quality of Facebook and regret deleting her data, as the top-level comment implied. So my point is it's not a move to show how effective the algorithms are, but a privacy-conscious one from Facebook.

That's not true - PDP-11 era C isn't either - if you run it on a modern processor. And it's doubtful it even was then.

> But, just as in 1993 with Walmart, and now with Amazon, the basic fact remains that consumer preferences shift.

Tragedy of the commons and undesirable local optima are still a thing. Yes, we might want cheaper and more convenient shopping and continue to buy stuff from Amazon, and also still might not want the long term negative effects of Amazon slowly crushing all competition.

The rest of the article is about whether what Amazon is doing fits an existing definition of anti-competitive. That's all fine and good, but a larger question is whether that definition of anti-competitive is the only thing we should be worrying about. e.g. yes, Amazon forces market conditions to improve for customers in the short term, but I have zero doubt that once they crush competitors they'll happily jack up prices.

There's also perhaps an argument that the level of automation and technological prowess that amazon brings is different from what Walmart had back in the 90s. There the argument was that walmart is walmart, but local shops still at least have a premium niche to fill (which, while true, did do disasters to many local economies which didn't have the clientele for niche stores). Now perhaps Amazon is good enough that it might even destroy that gap too.
Yes, to offer that functionality it would need a cookie. No, the website doesn't need to correlate that login and all activity related to it to everything else you ever did on the internet to build up a profile about you. It is technically feasible (even easier) to offer the first ("remember me on this one site") without doing the second ("track me across all sites").
Many of my customers could barely compose a cogent e-mail. In most cases I was left wondering how they could possibly be admitted at whatever school they were at. Sure, my assessment of my customers was limited to a few back-and-forth e-mail exchanges, but I was usually left with the impression that they were enrolled at a school they didn't 'deserve' to be at.

Further, you're just completely discounting the agency of my customers here. They knew what they were doing, and how it devalued their education experience.

This is pretty much cardboard.. We need an open system for vr.
Well, ideally you'd have both. When I "GET" I assume that it's GET as opposed to any of the other standard HTTP methods, not "GET" as in Indiana Jones getting the golden idol from the pedestal.

This is not only a problem with browsers preemptively requesting URLs, but also when it comes to caching. What happens when the URL I'm GETing is cached? Absolutely nothing, as far as the original server is concerned.

The current situation with browsers doing smart things to make slow websites appear fast is a bit like compiler writers doing smart things with UB in C, though. Speed a lot of things up by utilizing every undefined nook and cranny of the spec, breaking tons of legacy software that make pretty sound assumptions about how things actually work. I use a bunch of poorly designed legacy systems where GET often has intentional side effects. They break because the browser starts issuing HTTP requests long before I have finished typing an address. Let slow sites be slow and leave the speed problem to the people that should be dealing with it instead.
Grade inflation at top US schools happens through $$$ as well. Having a parent that is a major donor matters. I've seen it firsthand.
I think young boys are being treated terribly. I am so disturbed by this and am to the point where I feel compelled to intercede in the emotional life of a troubled young relative of mine.

In my opinion, the problem is that we're no longer celebrating masculinity, but rather it seems we trash it at every opportunity nowadays.

Not sure how much that weighs on the loneliness problem, but I suspect having young men not acting like men isn't helping with our collective well-being and sociability.

Most current home owners have no interest in selling to a developer or developing ourselves. We just want to continue live in conditions that were present when we bought it: a nice house with a garden on a quiet street.

I was thinking primarily of Google AMP when I wrote that. Google's strategy is not necessarily the same as Microsoft's was; often it's a bit more subtle, but the common theme is that Google pushes standards that are primarily beneficial to itself, but often paints them disingenuously as "helping the web" or some equally meaningless BS.

Some examples which might not qualify specifically as EEE, but certainly qualify as Google pushing for biased standards:

- Google AMP (not clearly EEE, but definitely anti-open web)

- Google Chrome (not quite EEE, but barrier to entry in browser market is now extremely high)

Some more clearly EEE examples:

- GChat (clear EEE strategy on XMPP)

- Google flights (EEE the travel industry)

- Google shopping (EEE affiliate offers)

- ....

Note that these examples are not solely "competing with an existing business" as you described, because the initial announcement of them was usually welcoming and open, e.g. opening with federated xmpp compatibility, promoting it, and then extinguishing it later. If developers back then had known google would shut down xmpp, maybe they would have put effort into building a better federated xmpp ecosystem instead of wasting time interoperating with google's system. That kind of bait and switch is the hallmark of an EEE strategy.
But this will never be true in any low level language. You can spend a lot of time optimizing any single line of code manually, but software will always be faster than you. And will optimize any code you write beyond recognition.
Actually, I can. If you’ve given me your email for some business reason, and for me to conduct that business I need to email you, I can email you. Even if you didn’t explicitly give consent.

What I can’t do is email you marketing newsletters the times a week for the next decade, or sell your email address to ‘specially selected trusted partners’.
