Superb comment. Good programming is about building effective layers of abstraction. Bit twiddling is fine, but encapsulate it. Mass setting of registers should be presented as a readable table (possibly an instantiated structure) with no special executable code in sight.

The author's premise is that Luddites are a misunderstood group with a misunderstood agenda but then goes on to immediately say:

"The historic Luddites were skilled craft workers laboring in England in the early 19th century, and they were amongst the first groups to see their jobs and lifestyles fall victim to mechanization; their opposition to 'obnoxious' machinery was in keeping with their view that the imposition of these machines would bring 'a sad end to an honourable craft.'"

...which is exactly why myself and others generally ignore ludditism. To me this seems perfectly in line with the general understanding of the term: people that are being displaced by progress and become generally opposed to said progress as a result, often violently so.

I'm sorry if new technologies are hurting your lifestyle, but if the only way to become heard is to literally destroy that tech, then perhaps no one wants to listen.

Social media and the easy flow of information is perhaps partly to blame. Its much easier to see how/what the other people in your social graph are doing with their friends and feel your friends/relationships are inadequate. It seems to lead some very severe feeling of FOMO in many people I know.

But your advice is absolutely spot on.
> GDPR Twitter data export and it included me in a bunch of incorrect, non-sensical and contradictory ad targeting groups.

This is expected. It's not desirable, but it is expected.

The problem is your comparing it to an absolute. I.e. to perfect.

If advertisers had that choice, they would love it. They generally don't. Remarketing is kinda close, but limits the scale.

Rather, the only other scalable options are far worse. Think about it. What are the marketers other choices?

The one that should come to mind, and the one they spend most of their money: TV.

With TV you pick up a huge amount of waste. Say you buy a spot on Big Bang because you want people thinking of buying a new iPhone. Not a big stretch, right? At the same time thinking of all the other people they have to buy, who watch the ad, and aren't buying an iPhone. It's waste.

And that waste is huge relative to what you're talking about above.

So you're asking the wrong question here. It's not how good is the targeting in terms of precision/recall. The question is what's better?

The waste here is generally known & its priced accordingly.

No that's the problem. I said I did not write this to bash the interviewer and I really meant it.

The idea here is that to achieve something quite useful like a distro ("made an OS") for the Raspberry Pi, the important part is to figure out a problem that needs solving and a tool to solve it. A person who made something cool might be actually quite dumb, and that's alright. A good answer is something that foremost solves a problem. A bad answer is a fancy technology that doesn't do it better.

Here I sucked at my Go solution and I deserved to fail. But here it's just a lame fail because my initial solution worked and the rule changed to accommodate the fact that it was not the technology he expected.

And even if it were up to the district/borough, there are 270+ thousand people there. They should hold a referendum, and let's hope for a high brow campaign.

Also, singling out Google is easy, and important. It's a milestone. It means that gentrification is already - very likely - going to continue to happen with full force there. Google picked the place because it's full of "talent", small startups, "cool places/parties", etc.

It's an aggressive filter. We sometimes give a post-interview take home programming problem that involves no trickery or algorithm Discovery/invention. It's just to verify they can code and see their style. You should be able to determine if a person can code from resume and interview alone, but sometimes I can't tell until the exercise. People suck at interviews so they fall back on hard problems. I suppose that works for big companies with lots of applicants.

There's 3 websites, to my knowledge, that are IPv6 only:

* https://loopsofzen.uk/

* https://42.be/

* https://ct.filippo.io/

They aren't quite killer applications though, so it won't push many to IPv6. Possibly as the internet gets larger, some hosting providers simply won't have any free IPv4 addresses left? I guess that could be solved by putting CloudFlare in front of the server to provide an IPv4 address. It's strange, I used to do that to provide IPv6 years ago.

> wealthier people moving in makes everyone in the area more wealthy

Wealthier people buy up houses and kick out residents living there since decades.

Wealthier people moving in does not mean that pensioners or factory workers will suddenly earn engineer wages.

Wealthier people usually even lead to a reduction of apartments, as they combine smaller apartments to a bigger one. Increasing density is not always possible and often connected with a reduction of life quality (e.g. less green)
I've come to understand that a condo is an apartment block with added features - a concierge, a gym, pool etc.

A block of apartments is just a grid of rooms/apartments with nothing else

To give an older, 30 year long rejoinder by a famous, well regarded major American author: the question to ask is, is it OK to be a luddite? https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/97/05/18/r...
where i'm from, apartment is usually considered somewhat lower end, it's usually a unit that is fairly standalone in a building, and offers minimal amenities. apartments are not often gated. a condo is usually gated, with a human concierge or security guard, with much more luxurious amenities such as a nice pool and fitness centre.
People still make these exact things, only now they exist as formatting within a post on a blogging engine, rather than as standalone HTML pages. Search “aesthetic gif blog” and you’ll find tons of them.

As far as the “silly spamming of things between text” aspect goes—that’s still done as well, only now it’s done with emoji. (If http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/good-shit-sign-me-the-fuck-up isn’t an example of 1997-era melange-design aesthetics, I don’t know what is.)
Condo is one sort of ownership structure in a multi-unit building. I imagine there are more than two, but co-op is the other structure that I'm familiar with.

"Condominium" also implies luxury (and especially new) apartments rather than mid-level or down market or generally older units.
"Remember Jquery" doesn't fit there, it's still popular and kept current, as it should be, it's awesome and useful.

Also I still use FTP (secure FTP of course), I use it for smaller projects on shared hosting and so on. It's completely fine.
I like it. I hope you keep going with the project and flesh it out further.
God, I've been complaining about this for so many years now. The hardest part about duplicating the Web 1.0 aesthetic (well) has been finding the primary locations where the tile/image/iconsets originated and mirroring them for modern consumption — I'm still working on that.

> Why are you bringing cities into this anyway? Makes no sense at all...

> That still doesn't have anything to do with the discussion.

Cities often act like businesses. In the U.S. cities even incorporate, just like businesses do. The "shareholders" of a city are usually its property owners who vote for city leaders who implement supply-side policies that raise property values and rents in the city, such as zoning restrictions, and demand-side policies like concentrating services, as the previous commenter mentioned. If the city is the leading commercial city in a country, it may even influence central government immigration policies, which can further increase demand for property, a.k.a. the city's "shares".

It makes a lot of sense and has everything to do with the discussion.

Gaming is hardly a major driver of infrastructure choices, with all due respect.

The issue is that most businesses are now so well-acquainted with NAT-ting, they don't really care for IP addresses. In fact, the more opaque your network topology is to the outside, the better from a security point of view. Every app works through http these days (because proxies are mandatory, again for security), so there is little need for real addresses.
To me, the best applications are going to be those by which the human and the ML'd AI will benefit each other by a greater degree than if each were on their own.

I once read a comment here on HN about SEO, and someone was suggesting to start by buying a domain name that is your first and last name. I thought it was cool, but didn't see how it could improve SEO. But I bought it anyway[1].

I had nothing to put on it for a while, so I started just working on my own design skills replicating Google.com. It just a fun thing I do for absolutely no benefits to others. Great way of learning.

Anyway, I check my other projects analytics and it shows that a large number of user sign ups come from that random for fun project.

So yes, please keep building websites like these. Build your own terrible website and don't worry if they don't seem immediately useful.

They don't get 'disposed of'. Whenever there are large excavations it's a planning requirement to turn the site over to archaeologists first, who can find anything that's to be found before it's dug out.

Interesting. I imagine that's the Ruby influence - on paper at least, Crystal's featureset is almost ML-family, but sounds like the culture must be rather different.

Being able to move all your concerns into the type system is really nice, and the difference between a type system that does what you expect 95% of the time and one that does 100% of the time is huge - but I don't know any way to get there except gradually. I've been doing Scala for 8 years and it probably took 4 before I realised how important this stuff was even in the simple case of Option - and that's coming from a background of Java before then and already being dubious of things that step outside the type system.

Language inconsistencies matter, but only in large codebases, and by the time you have those large codebases it's probably too late to change the language. I think Scala gets a lot right, I think something like Idris gets more right. I can make the case for why those things are the right things in terms of theoretical purity/consistency. But when it comes to practical differences I don't know how to convince anyone other than by saying "go maintain a 300kloc system in an ML-family language for 5 years and see how much easier it is" :/.

Best of luck. I hope Crystal finds some things that work well, and that we all add something to the language design state of the art. I do think we're getting gradual progress and consensus - if nothing else, almost every new language has at least some form of sum typing and pattern matching these days - but I guess progress on the aspects that matter for big systems is inherently going to be slow, because it's only after we've built those big systems that we can see what's wrong (and what's right) with them.

TCP/IP based networks don't have rapidly changing topographies. A payment channel network's topography changes every time it processes a transaction, because it changes the amounts available for transferring in the channels that transaction was routed through.
That would be society doing that, not just insurance companies.

Just like before the ACA it was society at large that didn't worry too much about people being dropped from insurance. Sure, people moralize about how awful it is, but then they take the policy with the lower rate instead of the better underwriting.
People in your category usually lack the motivation necessary to keep up to date on the most efficient techniques, and they'll put fewer hours in general into their craft. They'll typically produce less effective solutions as a result, because they don't know all the options and refuse to learn all relevant tools.

Yes I do put a relatively few hours in my craft outside of work. But I also keep my eye on the market and I aggressively change jobs if my job ia not allowing me to keep up with technology. Why work at a job where your skills are stagnating and then spend extra time learning the new and shiney when you can learn the new and shiney and get paid for it? Especially since wage stagnation is real and the easiest way to make more money is to change jobs.

I’m not above doing resume driven development or spending extra time at work doing a proof of concept on a new to me technology.

As far as the fear of unemployment being my only motivation. Why wouldn’t that be enough? At least that and optionality. There is no such thing as a stable job. A company will lay you off in a heartbeat. Fear of not being employable is a major motivation. The other motivation is not being able to jump ship at a moments notice. It usually takes me about a month to start a new job after I start looking - including a two week notice - always paying substantially more. (20 years and counting)

I’m at the point now though where I have to keep my skills marketable just to stay at my current salary.

This is mostly correct except for the last sentence, for any conventional definition of "clearer." You could replace "clearer" with "market maker" to be more correct, but it is important to note that the market maker isn't earning the spread every time they trade with you. They're only earning the spread in the aggregate, which is to say that they hope to both buy and sell with many people like you so that over time they are effectively earning the spread.

But when you use a specific term like ‘condo’ rather than something generic like ‘home’ it looks like that specific term is there for a reason.
