Please add 2012 in the title. Also this was previously submitted without comments.

The topic was old... but I am glad someone commented on the downsides of implementing your own language/tooling and what happens next to the team; for example:

> Also, it took over a year to develop the compiler, during which time the other programmers had to make do with missing features, odd quirks, and numerous bugs.

That makes me thing only ultra-flexible teams or huge companies fit the bill into the approach of creating such a technical debt as a compiler can be.

There's an app that will automatically clean those up. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it right now. Hopefully it'll pop up on Google for you, if you're interested.

There isn't really one inherently; a music player like foobar2000 only takes a few MB of memory even with many plugins. That doesn't mean Clementine and Winamp haven't found ways to waste resources that aren't loading a full Chromium instance (after all, Chromium is pretty efficient considering what it actually brings to the table.)

That’s because they are a level above the other vehicles in the same price range.
Good question.

At a theoretical level, as a sysadmin, I learned the theoretical capabities by reading datasheets for CPUs, motherboards (historically, also chipsets, bridge boards, and the like, but those are much less irrelevant), and storage products (HBAs/RAID cards, SAS expander chips, HDDs, SSDs). Make sure you're always aware of the actual payload bandwidth (net of overhead), actual units (base 2 or base 10) and duplex considerations (e.g. SATA).

From a more practical level, I look at various vendors' actual products, since it doesn't matter (for example) if a CPU series can support 8 sockets if the only mobos out there are 2- and 4-socket.

I also look at whatever benchmarks were out there to determine if claimed performance numbers are credible. This is where sometimes even enthusiast-targeted benchmark sites can be helpful, since there's often a close-enough (if not identical) desktop version of a server CPU out there to extrapolate from. Even SAS/SATA RAID cards get some attention, not in a configuration worthy of even "medium" data, but enough for validating marketing specs.

I agree that the renminbi is not presently a threat. Just that it has the potential of becoming one. That potential flows from the potential of China's consumers. A native base of consumers Bitcoin lacks. My point is that if the renminbi is a long shot for challenging the dollar's hegemony, Bitcoin is out past Pluto.

I was surprised at how much time they spent building up their cities, technologies, religions etc., rather than just doing each others head in.

There's this open-source game, Battle for Wesnoth, which is sort of like Civilization without the civilization part, so it's pretty much just hexgrid- and turn-based strategy warfare (and that part much more fleshed out). Would be interesting to do the same with that.

Presumably the legal basis would've been the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, which is Germany's implementation of the DPD. The DPD itself is not very specific, only saying "such a data protection official, whether or not an employee of the controller, must be in a position to exercise his functions in complete independence;". The language in the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz itself[1] is quite similar to the DPO language in the GDPR.

Over the years I've written too many awk one liners to count. Most of them look ugly - hell awk makes Perl look elegant - but having awk in your toolkit means that you don't have to drop out of the shell to extract some weird shit out of a text stream. Thanks Aho Weinberger and Kernigan!
Reading from the article, one gets quite a few quite damning impressions:

1) fentanyl is apparently mostly delivered just through mail. Mail is apparently not inspected at all and walking into a post office with dozens of envelopes/packages with drugs is apparently not very likely to get you caught.

1 addendum) the post is not even going to stop you doing this AFTER YOU GET CAUGHT.

2) nor is getting your clients caught with the stuff. Tracking stuff back through the postal service is apparently not done, or not possible.

3) importing large quantities of fentanyl, cannabis and marihuana right through customs ... apparently not a problem. Not caught for years.

4) apparently paypal is perfectly A-okay with drug money. Funny how plenty of people seem to get their accounts blocked for this, yet this operation totally escaped all attention.

5) the drugs business is a full service operation. Next day delivery, credit card payments, tracking numbers for shipments (!), ... none of it apparently helped the police. Even sending a free replacement shipping when one "got caught by customs" did not let them track the source.

6) the police apparently got "live monitoring" going on a gmail account, which is how they found him.

All the ways the police COULD have tracked this yet missed ... and the extremely objectionable way they did track it. Clearly this is the default way the police works now. Get all online accounts to track people before doing so much as visiting the post office. At least they went through a judge I guess.

I mean this article is obviously a bragging attempt by the police, and yet I find it extremely objectionable how the police and the rest of the state operated in this operation.

Publishing this article and bragging about this given the state of these systems will obviously massively increase these businesses' reach.
My conclusion is that since this is true, the real thing maintaining the system is mutual cooperation of sufficient mining interest. When you look at the theoretical division of hashpower in btc, it looks too stable over generations of hardware. Any non-colluding ecosystem should have centralized. I conclude btc is a collusion system.

So why the pow? Is this stabilizing the actors somehow? It seems like an explicitly managed network would be no less centralized, way more efficient, and way more user friendly.

Tesla’s lawyers should’ve advised against marketing a glorified ADAS (and AP 2.0/2.5 was even a pretty bad ADAS for quite a long time) as an autonomous driving solution.

They market it as it could be a RoboTaxi, Musk has been saying “autonomous driving is a solved problem” for 4 years now at every opportunity he gets this isn’t really ideal.

Tesla’s marketing a side the real problem is the concept of Level 3 autonomy in the first place (on the open roads).
Humans can’t operate in a “hands off only” mode and it’s either all in or all out.

I’m really hoping that we could get to a good real world all conditions L4/5 (these are the same level of autonomy) before level 3 ones kill enough people to push back autonomous driving 3 decades.

Don’t get me wrong in controlled, restricted and enclosed environments for example truck yards, ports, large factories, airports, power stations, mines etc. Level 3 makes a lot of sense if you have predictable routes where trained operators know when they can be hands off and when they cannot be.

But this doesn’t and will never work on real roads with real people because eventually everyone gets “comfortable” with such a feature especially when it appears much more capable than it actually is and when Musk and many in the Tesla community make it sound like the only reason why your Tesla isn’t working for Uber whole you are at work is because of pesky regulation.
Especially since at least in Russia (although elsewhere) it's clear that Russia can dispose of people it doesn't like.

Although the USA has problems, it is a "no-risk" to "little-risk" proposition provided you make it to the USA. (I am talking about the legal routes.)

I can't quite articulate it, but I have a serious problem with the attitude that seems to say "well yes, your family for 5 generations struggled to clear the land, make it productive, worked in factories, sent sons off to die in wars, but, if you aren't being 100% economically productive RIGHT THIS MINUTE, just get out of the way already and let immigrants take your place..."

That looks like a nice desktop app, and that's certainly a start.

If other users are anything like me, then to really revive RSS you have to think more multi-device.

Assume the user will want to get to their feed of stuff to read from their phone, tablet, or laptop.

Assume the user will want to listen from their phone most of the time (iphone or android), but maybe their watch while exercising, their car stereo while driving, and through speakers like Echo or Sonos at home.

Get these things to sync up nicely and I bet people wouldn't mind a bit that RSS is underneath somewhere, making it go.
Only if you eagerly shift all elements on every operation. If you allocate extra space, and only shift every N operations (N being the max size of the list), it’s O(n/n), eg O(1) amortized. As mentioned already, you can represent it as a circular buffer to save a bit of memory. But this cost analysis also means that a simple array can be much faster than a linked list for almost all operations in theory (excludes random insert given an insert token, which is not an index). I believe there’s also experimental evidence of this showing that an array is almost always preferable to a linked list - even in the cases were a linked list is often taught as the obvious choice (such as a queue). Yep, surprised me quite a bit too.

Apple II lived 5966 days, not including the IIe card for LC, which extends the lifespan to 6543 days.

Carbon lived until July 24, 2012. Including it as an "LTS" facility, Classic Mac OS lived 10,395 days.

By comparison Win NT (if you include Windows 10 as I do) is 9083 days old and counting.
The claim from daimenkatz was that transactions and MVCC are supported internally, but not externally. It's unclear to me if any of this is accurate. Here's the information that was offered: https://github.com/couchbaselabs/couchstore/wiki/Format. Let me know if you see MVCC or transactional behavior in there.
But then that one very eloquent guy gets all the play in the stories and his contribution seems out-sized while implicitly diminishing the contributions of others, especially the really camera-awkward guy who made a huge contribution but no reporters can handle listening to him long enough to tell his story.
I learn more about languages from articles like these slagging them --- including languages I end up liking and working in --- than I learn from articles that try to promote languages. I learned more about Kotlin from this than I... wait, no, everything I know about Kotlin I learned from this post.
You actually can turn off cellular network calling altogether, if you are willing to do that.

Dial (star)#67# (or call 611 if it doesn't show up there) to see what number your voicemail center is. Then dial (star)21(star)1(that number)#. That will automatically forward all calls, at the network level, to your voicemail.

To cancel this, dial #21#.
that's why I always use the web player, instead.
Exactly- I was trying, dryly, to be tongue in cheek. As the example you gave illustrates well, covering risk almost never includes second order consequences, it is part of the “limited liability” that companies get. Unfortunately, customers tend not to be informed well enough to reason through these possibilities up front. We never know exactly what will break, or how we might be effected by that breakage.
> Edit: also, you really can’t get the same euphoria from THC. Similar, sure, but not the same — THC doesn’t build life destroying addiction though, so definitely recommend instead!

I can see that. THC feels like a “cleaner” mental euphoria to me, especially without the synergistic effects of cannabinoids like CBD and CBN.

I noticed both physical and mental euphoria with Hydrocodone. Not unlike the pleasure of wearing a warm sweater and sitting by the fire on a bitingly cold winter’s day.

In my case, I didn’t like the sluggishness (and itchiness!) associated with that feeling, though.
Haha, that "thoomp thoomp" genre is called "unsa unsa" in some ex-Yugoslav counties.

In addition to today's Autopilot, Telsa are charging customers $3,000 for a hypothetical future "Full Self-Driving Capability" feature on the Model 3 and others.

> "All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go," Tesla's ordering page says. "Your Tesla will figure out the optimal route, navigate urban streets (even without lane markings), manage complex intersections with traffic lights, stop signs and roundabouts, and handle densely packed freeways with cars moving at high speed."

This is very likely to be a huge balance sheet liability and probably won't be a real possibility until the cars are really old and near the end of their life. They don't give a real timetable so maybe they can get by with not delivering it for a couple decades, but it seems like that would land them in some kind of class action legal trouble.
`defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores TRUE` should solve the first issue at least.

I think the split you draw between people looking at Bitcoin-the-real-thing and people adoring the machinery is an excellent one.

If you look at the original paper, it's pretty clear that Bitcoin was meant to be peer-to-peer electronic cash: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

In practice, it has failed at this aim. I don't think that was necessarily so; plenty of things start out rough and become more useful over time. But the mechanics-adorers I've talked with seemed willfully blind to all the practical issues. We can't fix problems we refuse to see, so Bitcoin has preserved its machinery at the expense of fulfilling its vision.
They re-badge laptops that someone else makes. It's not like they have their own factory in China. In this case they are not re-badging, they are building their own phone and phones are considerably harder to make. There are QA processes that require machines that cost >$1M. It puts them into a situation where they have to trust their manufacturer 100% and pray.
Essential spent ~$100M making their phone and they had help from Foxconn and awesome industry connections. $2M isn't gonna cut it.
What about shoddy US anti-surveillance equipment (ultrasonic microphone jammers), after all the only common denominator here is "US Embassy".
I said nothing about having no regulations.

My use of "liberal mantra" as to one specific idea, is not an ad hominem, nor does it mean that I'm not a liberal, for example, or that I don't like liberals. It just means that that particular idea is typically championed by liberals (which I believe is true). I don't see what's offensive about that.

As to long distance rail, it's not public transit, but sure, let's discuss it. I've no idea what's going on in Argentina with long distance rail. One possibility is that the roads suck, so rail looks good by comparison -- I just wouldn't know. Long distance rail has a lot of competition (cars, planes) -- it doesn't look like a long-term winner to me, but if so, that would be true regardless of which sector is to invest in rail.

The UK nationalized the telephone system around the time of WWI, IIRC.

I did pick wildly: because I was illustrating that different countries/localities tend to make different choices as to what to socialize, and not much evidence is needed to see that this at least appears to be true. I listed some examples, but did not make an extensive study. I suspect local politics, and the ease or difficulty (socially, culturally, politically, practically) of taking over some industry or another are the main factors in the choice of what to socialize.

It really is astounding (to me) that in the U.S. it was public transit that was socialized -- everywhere you go in the U.S., the trains and buses are all state-run -- but much else was not socialized (e.g., healthcare). Telecommunications in the U.S. was -for a few decades- regulated to the point that it was not greatly different from being state-run, but healthcare, for example, was not, and neither was automobile manufacturing, and not even electric utilities (with few exceptions, such as the TVA). And it is astounding to me that Buenos Aires didn't socialize buses -- I don't know why, but perhaps it was because lots of nationalizations that happened in Argentina targeted foreign-owned businesses (always popular targets), while the bus operators must have been politically connected.

Also, I did not even remotely "crow that the US healthcare system is superior to socialized alternatives in European countries". I do think the private sector does better than the public sector at such things, but that doesn't mean that every instance of one sector doing some thing goes accordingly -- it's a generalization. Stop putting words in my writing. It seems that you feel attacked, but I don't know why -- maybe attacking an idea you hold is like attacking you? But it shouldn't be.

I grew up poor, but I was able to move away to San Francisco and get good jobs in tech, and ultimately became successful, and by some standards here, even “rich”.

But you know what? The relationships with friends and family I left behind definitely suffered. I now feel distant from everyone, and unfortunately some of my best memories are still from old times when I lived close to these people. I have very few friends here in the city, most my interactions day to day are simple and transactional. I wouldn’t blame anyone for staying behind in their town. I’ve always figured I could move back when money was no problem anymore, but I don’t think that day will come soon, and sooner or later I’ll have to decide where I want to plant roots and start a family, and I doubt any woman here will want to go back to my old town after living in SF. Don’t know what to do really, just hanging on.
This might be OOT, but I'm just curious how do you train AI on video games? Do you connect AI to internal API of the game or you let AI parse image data the from the screen and use external input (like keyboard or mouse) in order to play the game?

That sounds like the system here (US). Low scorers receive much higher interest rates -> significantly higher final prices charged
One moment George, lets turn on the portable anti microphone device that the embassy gave us, before we discuss this. Hmmm. I seem to be developing a headache.
I find the opposite. There's nothing more infuriating when I "hey google" my phone for something that Home can't handle but my phone says "answering on another device" and then the Home says "I don't know how to help you with that". My Home has probably recorded a lot of swearing after those events.
So you’re saying this is good for Bitcoin?
It's not only deceptive but it puts public at risk.

The other day I was on 101 in the evening heading south (this is one the main highways in San Francisco Bay Area) where I was behind a Tesla on the fast lane. The Tesla in front of me was acting rather erratic. Fast jolt like corrections once in a while, etc. So I got annoyed by the erratic movements and passed the car. As I passed I glanced over. Sure enough, the driver was on his phone doing something and I'm guessing was relying on the auto pilot.
