Firstly, Bash is relied upon to conform to a standard; it's not an exploratory project which expresses the maintainers' views about what a shell should look like.

Secondly, Stallman didn't start Bash because he loved Unix. It was a pragmatic choice. Stallman really wanted a free platform based on Lisp. He went with cloning the Unix user space because that was becoming a dominant OS. It was proprietary software, and he wanted to replace that directly with workalike free software, rather than to provide incompatible free software and then have to evangelize not only freedom, but also a different platform at the same time.

There were some technical reasons. Stallman rejected the idea of copying the Lisp Machine approach:

https://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.en.html

At first, I thought of making a Lisp-based system, but I realized that wouldn't be a good idea technically. To have something like the Lisp machine system, you needed special purpose microcode. That's what made it possible to run programs as fast as other computers would run their programs and still get the benefit of typechecking. Without that, you would be reduced to something like the Lisp compilers for other machines. The programs would be faster, but unstable. Now that's okay if you're running one program on a timesharing system — if one program crashes, that's not a disaster, that's something your program occasionally does. But that didn't make it good for writing the operating system in, so I rejected the idea of making a system like the Lisp machine.

I decided instead to make a Unix-like operating system that would have Lisp implementations to run as user programs. The kernel wouldn't be written in Lisp, but we'd have Lisp.

For example, we developed the GNU C library because a Unix-like system needs a C library, BASH because a Unix-like system needs a shell, and GNU tar because a Unix-like system needs a tar program. The same is true for my own programs—the GNU C compiler, GNU Emacs, GDB and GNU Make.

You're overstating how clear the contradictions really are. There's nothing close to "Ham is green, no hams are green."
This is frightening but believable. I've worked with a few "quants" who stared at me doe eyed explaining eigen* and basic calculus concepts to them in the context of why their calculations don't add up. You mention you've used fourier transforms before - if you don't understand an eigenbasis then you don't have a fundamental understanding the math you're deploying.
Looks like this doesn’t depend on direct memory access. Judging from the devices, it’ll also work at lower speeds, whereas throwhammer requires multi-gbps.

The Fourier transform is actually linked with linear algebra. You can think of it as taking a vector in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space (your signal) and decomposing it into its components (the amplitudes of the frequencies).
I read "Bonfire of the Vanities" many years ago, and thought it was fantastic -- does an incredible job of portraying the different social/ethnic/economic groups in New York during the 1980's, and how these groups view, think about, and interact with each other. Hollywood turned the book into a terrible movie that ruins the story; I would avoid the movie if you have any interest in reading the book.
If a .js file is redirected to from a web page, with a Content-Disposition header marking it as a download, and (as is common) the browser downloads automatically to ~/Downloads, doesn't that leave the .js file in a predictable place that can then be used by an attack on Electron?
But on what principles would the legislation be based? You can't just declare something anti-consumer and call it a day. Apple charging more than other companies for their computers can be considered anti-consumer - should that be illegal too?

The point of legislation and regulation in this instance would be to balance the needs/desires of both the consumers and the company. Saying that Apple's only option is to give consumers full rights to do anything with their software goes too far in the direction of the consumer in my opinion.
I might start with 'The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby' which is a collection of his essays. The first chapter of 'The Right Stuff' is worth reading by itself. The rest of the book is fascinating but drags on a bit in the last third. My favorite is 'The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test'. I haven't gotten around to reading 'Bonfire of the Vanities' however so I can't really comment on that.

At 2 or 3 or 4 a.m., somewhere along in there, on August 25, 1966, his 48th birthday, in fact, Leonard Bernstein woke up in the dark in a state of wild alarm. That had happened before. It was one of the forms his insomnia took. So he did the usual. He got up and walked around a bit. He felt groggy. Suddenly he had a vision, an inspiration. He could see himself, Leonard Bernstein, the egregio maestro, walking out on stage in white tie and tails in front of a full orchestra. On one side of the conductor’s podium is a piano. On the other is a chair with a guitar leaning against it. He sits in the chair and picks up the guitar. A guitar! One of those half-witted instruments, like the accordion, that are made for the Learn-To-Play-in-Eight-Days E-Z-Diagram 110-IQ 14-year-olds of Levittown! But there’s a reason. He has an anti-war message to deliver to this great starched white-throated audience in the symphony hall. He announces to them: “I love.” Just that. The effect is mortifying. All at once a Negro rises up from out of the curve of the grand piano and starts saying things like, “The audience is curiously embarrassed.” Lenny tries to start again, plays some quick numbers on the piano, says, “I love. Amo, ergo sum.” The Negro rises again and says, “The audience thinks he ought to get up and walk out. The audience thinks, ‘I am ashamed even to nudge my neighbor.’ ” Finally, Lenny gets off a heartfelt anti-war speech and exits.

No he is saying it requires a man-in-the-middle kind of attack. Additionally, it requires a broken mail client that does not check error result from the pgp decoder _and_ concatenates different mail parts _and_ has HTML rendering enabled (and does not warn for external content). The pgp spec, afaik, had already protection by checking inline modification (fixing the exploit using CBC), but due to old mail clients this didnt generate an error by default. Some users of the gpg decoder tool does not support or ignore errors, making you invisible from issues in the email...

In case you didn't know: if you really need some GNU tool, you can do `brew install coreutils` (assuming you use Homebrew).

The installed binaries will have their names prefixed with `g`; e.g. `gdate` instead of `date`.

If something you want isn't part of coreutils, you can often install it directly; e.g. `brew install gawk` or the weirdly-named `brew install gnu-sed` (which names its installed binary `gsed`... go figure.)
Still, some organizations are concerned enough with their data that they'll not risk having it outside the building regardless of how well encrypted it is when the machine is turned off.
I'd be willing to bet on that too. I think offering a license key to put MacOS on whatever hardware you want would be really popular. I'd probably buy one myself.

That said, convenience is a good argument for why things like media piracy and hackintoshes happen but not an argument at all for whether or not those actions are morally justified.
I once triggered an automatic deploy that ran a bash script that minified a bunch of css/html/js assets and pushed them to S3, at some path like `/assets/vX.X.X/whatever.css`. Unfortunately, a few of our deploy boxes had Dash instead of Bourne shell, and when it ran on dash it failed to parse the version tag to push and ended up pushing an empty dir to /assets - deleting everything. Fun experience.

I see the tin foil hats are out in full swing, but the reality is, far from what people assume. From someone who has been following this saga, this is more a fight about how the NSA cooperates (or lack thereof) with ISO and other standards orgs. Most likely due to their own internal self-conflict.

As others have mentioned Simon and Speck very straightforward. There really isn't much room for obscuring anything there. On the other hand, when any group that's a part of a standards org begins to feel so privileged that they can operate under their own rules and without truly cooperating with the others and share information in the way that people are asking for it, it's going to breed further mistrust given the already tense environment due to the history there.
Though, the NSA did lose the keys to their van full of fun toys to the Shadow Brokers just a couple years ago. In my mind that adds 'incompetent' right there next to 'evil/criminal' on the list of reasons they are untrustworthy.
yeah OP is not clear. When a finance person sees market analysis, it’s a specific thing: evaluating whether financial market pricing is correct or not.
Yeah, but Tcl is old and quite crufty. The docs are a mess, everything is a string, a lot of concepts it uses are not very familiar and/or mainstream (upvar?).

A modern take on Tcl is what we need, in my opinion.

Surely we should be able to build something nicer 30 years after the first release of Tcl.
His comparison of the Shuttle to SpaceX reusability is pretty bad considering how non-reusable the Shuttle actually was and how almost none of the reasons behind the Shuttle's problems apply to Falcon 9 or BFR.

I think noise/safety are the real show stoppers. You can get the noise down by moving it further away from civilization, but I think the distance required would simply be too far. I also don't think a rocket will ever approximate the safety of a plane with current tech. If it was 10x more dangerous than a heavy aircraft (which is highly optimistic) would anyone go?

I think SpaceX can make it work, can make it affordable to some degree, but making it a practical form of travel is ... yeah, no.

I have no problem with them trying though. Their money.

> not just "believable" data filled in by the net

Your brain already does this in may ways. Last year I watched a fascinating series, The Brain with David Eagleman [1], and one of the main points I got from that is how the visual system works. Your eyes are not connected to your brain like a camera, instead they feed into a 'processor' which creates a model of what it thinks your eyes are seeing and it's this model you see. Your brain also feeds back into this area.

1) You can't see your blind spot, that is filled in.

2) When you move your eyes they effectively shut down but you continue to think you can see. This is demonstrated by the "count how many times the ball is passed" type video where there is also a gorilla walking about which you don't notice. This is also the cause of a lot of road crashes, you think you are scanning but your eyes 'miss' the cyclist.

3) Psychosis 'visions' are caused by the brain writing whole images into this processor, this model is then fed back into the brain. To you it's as real as if your eyes had seen then.

4) Witnesses are incredibly unreliable. People not only see things differently but also remember things differently.

With your brain though, you can usually slow down and study an image or scene to keep pulling more real detail out, with this digital processing though you can't as all you've got is the machine constructed image.

That's just one personal anecdote though. I can do the Python example from memory but not the bash example.
I remember discovering "The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test" in my high school library. I eventually stole it by taking out the plastic-encased metal security dingy and devoured it more. I read it over and over until the paperback fell apart. It introduced me to a world so foreign and sparkly and rusty dangerous and yet so real.

Let's be clear, I'm not a huge fan of python or exception-based error handling either but I'll take it any day over... whatever you want to call shell ad-hoc error handling or lack thereof.

Trap is not like an exception, it's more like "atexit" or a signal handler. You can't really nest them, you can't really recover from them. So I definitely disagree that error handling is about the same, python's a lot better.

>there's no compiler, nor type (or other magical) system, that'd warn you if you have missed something.

Well that's the whole static vs. dynamic debate but that's a different story. Use C# or Rust or whatever you feel like if you really can't stand python or scheme. Maybe there's a niche to be filled for statically typed scripting languages, there are no popular ones that I'm aware of.

Still, that's besides the point, while I personally prefer static typing like you there's really no contest between dynamic typing and "everything is a string and you can only concatenate them" typing.
The Fourier transform as used in practice in signal processing is ~always discrete, hence finite-dimensional. It's literally "just" a rotation with an especially nice decomposition that allows efficient multiplication.
That ticket price is definitely relevant. For some reason I thought Concorde was “only” $2500.

However, your point about cramped space made me realise that although the BFR isn’t going to be volume limited, that’s because it’s mass limited. Every 10kg of luggage will add about $250 to the price.
>Those people should not be involved in hiring.

My point was that those kind of people are involved in hiring, and the single page resume has become fairly standard.

You personally may prefer a longer academic CV style. I think that probably makes sense, if anyone profession could use that type of resume it's ours.

However, that isn't currently the norm, and I suspect that you'd see a net loss if you always sent out a 4 page resume instead of condensing it to single page of bullet points.

I will say that I could be completely wrong on this. It could be that the increased interest from people who want 4 page resumes might more than make up for the people who won't bother reading it, but I don't think so.

Not everyone (as in "almost nobody") has demands that stress any modern processor. I'm a developer and the small laptop I carry to hackathons is a Celeron-based Acer. Emacs runs fine on it and it's very unlikely I'll ever do more running Python web apps and a browser with one or two tabs open.
That’s correct but you’re (understandably) confusing “epigenetic inheritance” with “trans-generational epigenetic inheritance”.

The first (i.e. epigenetic inheritance, particularly via DNA methylation) is a ubiquitous biological process by which a state is encoded in the cell and can be passed down to daughter cells upon cell division. Hence the daughter cells inherit the mother cell’s state. At its simplest, it just acts like a “bookmark” in the genome which informs the cell what parts to read, and what parts to skip over.

But things are different when talking about multi-cellular organisms that pass heritable information through the germ line. This is what trans-generational refers to. For the longest time it was assumed that no epigenetic information could be transmitted through the germ line due to a concept known as the “Weismann barrier” (think of it as the librarian: upon return, she removes all the bookmarks from the books). We now know that, under specific circumstances, this barrier can be “violated”, and “leaks”. However, unlike normal (genetic) inheritance, this leak does not allow a structured transmission of information according to our current understanding (that is, a bit of information encoding a phenotype “A” wouldn’t necessarily cause the same phenotype in the offspring; it would simply lead a perturbation). There are more specific exceptions to this rule which, for instance in nematode worms, allow a more structured information transmission (though it’s an open question whether DNA methylation is causally implicated).
Another recipient could also work for cops, which is also pretty hard to check.
There is a lot of research around this topic, but here is an excerpt of an article from the Univ. of Oxford that touches on this change, that started to happen by the end of the middle ages:

"People in every time and culture have fallen in love, but not every culture has written about love or valued it in the same way.

'In the 12th century, romantic love became something that was worth celebrating and exploring in songs and stories - and you only have to look at modern film and music to see that legacy is still with us.'

Before the Norman conquest of England, Anglo-Saxon literature had a very different focus, said Professor Ashe.

'The world of the Anglo-Saxon warrior, at least in poetry, was based on the bond of loyalty between fighting men. Love in this world means love for your fellow warriors, and the idea of sacrificing yourself for the group."

Because python was the cool thing a few years ago, and it managed to get traction in a lot of places because it was pretty easy and included a lot of tools. It's also taught as an intro language now. So now you have to deal with people who are poopooing it because it doesn't have enough nerd cred like some like some other dynlang.

Shell scripting has some other issues though. While most Bourne derived shells look similar, they have different extensions and capabilities. So only a subset of scripts will work everywhere.

Most people are responding to the trading-related side of the coin, so I'll offer some advice on analyzing a market for the purpose of building a startup.

It's quite hard to find good resources on the internet for this purpose; what helped me was scouring Wikipedia [1] for the buzzwords (check out 'see also') and searching on Google if necessary beyond that. There's also lots of free lectures from places like KhanAcademy or Coursera that likely cover these parts of business.

One small tip my cofounder learned in business school: I don't remember the exact terminology, but analyses that go from the inside outwards are more respected by investors than ones that go from the outside inwards. Don't take huge figures like "Number of Americans" and multiply by "Percent of Americans that do 'x'", but rather find localized, small figures, and extrapolate those up/outwards.

> competition between gcc and clang is harmful to the C and C++ ecosystems?

Yes. GCC will die eventually.
Anyone who falls for this kind of reasoning is incredibly naive.

If you ever hear that somebody has a plan to have the best offense and make sure that everyone else has the second-best defense so they're the only ones who can do something bad, the first thing that should come to your mind is that they are planning to do something bad. It's not an "will they" situation. It's a "can they" situation. If they have the capability, they will do it.

That is a terrible plan. And don't tell me that they are on our side so it's okay. Secretive, crypto-state actors are on their own side. Ask yourself: if this power eventually falls under the unilateral control of the executive branch, will that always be a good thing under any conceivable future administration?
