I found this post (gp) extremely refreshing actually!

For context, I have participated in my fair share of Red Hat betas, and I have found the experience to be mostly uniform. That is, the product is labeled as beta because it has many (sometimes grave) issues remaining in it. If you are taking part in earnest, you will spend plenty of time reporting bugs. I'm talking about the OpenShift Online betas I was invited to try, but when I was having this experience I remember thinking "yep, it's exactly another RedHat beta!" strong sense of Deja Vu.

Don't get me wrong! I am a huge proponent of OpenShift and Kubernetes both, as well as RH, and I spent enough time collaborating with their excellent team and asking questions over IRC to get "the big idea," even if I haven't chosen those solutions to go to production with, or started development on them yet.

(As an aside, I didn't pass because of the bugs. I passed because their target market was apparently Java developer, and I am working in Ruby. I could have probably made it work, but all of the documentation I browsed through during my time evaluating the preview of Che and OpenShift hosted platforms indicated to me pretty clearly that I was not the target market, for the beta at least.)

I am personally excited but also apprehensive about the CoreOS acquisition because of those experiences.

I want CoreOS to bring exactly this kind of hard-hitting factual criticism to the RedHat team, because I don't have the time to spend in Beta programs doing it myself, and it's valuable work that needs to be done in order to guarantee quality in the finished product.

And as much as I may sound like I've shat on the OpenShift betas in similar fashion, when I go back and try again the finished product, or read the docs and install open-source release versions of the platform, I find they are all very good, and surely owing to those bug reports and the great developers who patiently follow them up without ceremony.

This part of the experience has also been fairly uniform, and it's likely that fact that has brought RedHat so much success in the market.

In contrast, I've used CoreOS Container Linux and earlier iterations in more depth (but usually not in betas, even if they were basically bleeding-edge), and found them to be uniformly rock-solid, almost without compromise!

As an end-user, this is a better experience, but as a developer I know and am reasonably sure that I still owe it to someone tracking alpha and beta channels, finding the issues when they manifested and reporting them for follow-up before they make it into stable releases.

If this comment was a sample of what the fusion of CoreOS and RH teams working together is going to look like, as a fan of both teams and their products, then I sincerely hope to see more of CoreOS in RH.

(and I also hope that I can still recognize CoreOS five years from now!)
It could be. I got into this mode of thinking many years ago and Debian may be just as suitable nowadays.
It's moot either way. There is dynamic dispatch based on use provided inputs. There will always be lookups, jumps, and cache misses regardless of the syntax or semantics.
A sense of ownership makes a material difference to me, and it must be material ownership for it to count.

Relative compensation is also important - if I'm not being paid well relative to others, that can destroy my motivation.

Great inventors won't stay at a job doing 9-5 work, of course. Treat people as levers, and good people will leave.

Wildlife conservation for most people generally focuses on large animals we can more relate to, particularly other mammals. Humans generally regard insects and many other invertebrates in their urban environments as pests, or something to fear. It's no surprise that an invertebrate armageddon is occurring with so little fanfare, outside of problems with one economically important species of bee.

The largest clearly-identified issues leading to these declines are loss of habitat and pesticides, both urban and agricultural. There are simple things anyone can do to help. This organization in the US has a lot of great information: https://xerces.org/bringbackthepollinators/
Ninja serializes each tool's output.

(I imagine it buffers the output internally. With a moment's thought you can imagine situations specifically engineered to cause more problems than this solves, but I've been using Ninja for a couple of years now and I've yet to see that happen.)
> the basic OO principle of encapsulating state and behavior

Not everything you might want to program necessarily fits the principles of your religion.

An abstract syntax tree in particular isn't something where information hiding makes a lot of sense. You need the details in the tree.
> I don't want to get into a slug-fest over the work.

That wasn't my intention at all. I just thought I'd share my first impression because, as a newcomer to your work, I probably see it much differently than you do.

I read through your whole post, and -- sorry, this is going to be another first impression, made over the internet, so take it with a grain of salt -- you seem to be very emotionally involved with your work. I would be, too, if I spent that much time on something. I think you would benefit from seeking advice from an unbiased third party. I don't know who that would be -- a publisher? an agent? I know nothing about the book world.

> Finally, you have to consider that a landing page, if you're honest, isn't just to sell books. One of the most important things you can do is turn away people that might be wasting their money. I know that goes against all that is good and holy on HN, but really. I don't want people reading it that are wasting their time. That's awful.

I think a good, professional publisher (or whoever) would berate you for saying this. How can you possibly know who will benefit from your work and who won't ahead of time? I also don't like deceptive advertising but I think you can make your work attractive while also being honest and true to yourself.

For the record, I share a lot of your frustrations with regards to generating publicity. I really resonated with this:

> Creating something does not immediately cause good feedback to happen. Just the opposite. Now the _real_ work begins: getting people to listen. And that's usually a long, difficult, demoralizing slog. You suck it up and move on.

However, I don't think that viewing this as long, difficult, or demoralizing is productive or even rational reaction to have, which is why I'm working on trying to see this differently, myself.
>As an example, most of America lives in places that have streets that are eight to eleven lanes wide

Get out of your SF bubble. Not even the suburban sprawl in the south is built like that. You're exaggerating literally every detail you mentioned by a factor of two or more.

Two to four total lanes, with additional turn lanes at intersections is representative of the typical "suburban sprawl". You don't usually have to cross more than two lanes at a time because most places like that have raised medians. For non-major roads two lanes with occasionally a shared left turn lane is very common.
perhaps flat earthers could get together travel to edge and jump off
Again shows the brilliance of the "have you tried turning it off and on again?" line :]
Oh nice, I hadn't seen this before, so a similar query would be a bit shorter!

The very essence of "whataboutism" is to deflect criticism by directing it at an unrelated party. Zuckerberg has literally no connection to this story, and bringing him up in this context is an intellectually dishonest attempt to change the subject. Perspective is about seeing the same thing from different angles. "But what about Zuckerberg" is not a difference in perspective, it's two completely different subjects.

Here is another (Google) search query that yields a lot of email addresses and passwords:

site:vk.com/doc "@gmail.com"

As it turns out, vk.com (and other large social networks) are used for discreetly sharing large lists of credentials. These are publicly crawled by Google but do not typically end up on lists of email or password breaches. You can find many credentials this way that are not (for example) in the haveibeenpwned database.

More generally this is why "google dorking" can be a sophisticated reconnaissance method for collecting a variety of data that is technically public but not intentionally so.
TL;DR: real interest rates have been falling for as long as we have records (going back to the 15th century) once you average out some cyclical volatility. Implication is that people waiting for interest rates to bounce back up significantly from their post-great-recession, post-QE lows should probably not expect them to return to anywhere near their historical levels.

As a personal saver/investor, the upshot for me is that just because a certain level of retirement savings would have been enough to generate a comfortable income in historical simulations, doesn't mean that it will necessarily be enough to support me in the ultra-low-interest-rates future. So I should probably save more before retiring than I otherwise might.
It's amazing to see how modern conversions work - I'm seriously impressed.

One of my family members has muscular dystrophy, which affects her ability to use and feel her legs. She can still walk very slowly, but she has an adapted car with hand controls. I thought I'd describe it, for those interested in the spectrum of car adaptation.

Her car is a standard mid-size automatic compact, with no adaptations other than a push-pull accelerator/brake hand control.

Unlike Nicola's car above, it doesn't have an electronic bypass for the hand controls - they're completely mechanical, with an ingenious system of sliding linkages connecting the hand lever to the pedals. The sliding links are what allows a pull on the hand lever to push the accelerator without simultaneously pulling on the brake pedal (which would obviously stop the hand lever from moving). They also allow the pedals to be used without the hand control moving, so it's easy for me to swap in to drive the car on long distance trips.
Until it bent to the point where it didn't work. Electrical components are not designed to deform plastically or have residual stresses.

The Ford Pinto and the Samsung both suffered from fuel/power problems that caused them to be dangerous. (Although, the Pinto was worse because they knew about it beforehand and calculated the monetary loses from deaths.)

The Yugo and Apple both suffer from problems with structural stability and reliability, yet one is a joke to a punchline and the other one is Yugo.

None of these scenarios are good for consumers and none of them should be excused as biased or unfair. Bad products should get bad press coverage. In this case, people should have fair warning that the premium that they paid for a prestige brand doesn't mean they're getting prestige level materials.
Well, it's another "Java-related compiler textbook". And this edition has a coauthor (Jens Palsberg) who is responsible for all OOP/Java-related things in the book. I recommend to read original ML edition even for Java developers. And I'm not the only one who recommends it.

"Comment by Vladimir N. Makarov: Another good book to start to study compilers from parser to code generation and basic optimizations. I especially like the version in ML (Modern compiler implementation in ML).

Comment by Steven Bosscher: The version in ML is the best of the three. The other two look too much like "had to do this"-books where algorithms are translated from ML, which makes them look very unnatural in C/Java." [1]

GDPR is explicitly agnostic to technical details (recital 15). The why is at least as important as the what. See the definition of controller in Article 4:

"‘controller’ means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data"

If you're embedding a JS library from a CDN, then you have a lawful basis for passing the IP address of your user to a third party under Art. 6(1)(f). As long as you've performed a reasonable risk assessment about this activity and have records to prove it, you should satisfy your obligations as a controller under Chapter 4. If they go rogue and add a bunch of tracking scripts to the library, they're liable. You'd still need to notify about the breach.

If you're embedding a Javascript ad unit that does a bunch of tracking, you probably don't have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f), so you'll need consent. You're intentionally passing a bunch of personal data to a third party, so your responsibilities with regards to risk assessment are far greater. You and the ad provider probably constitute joint controllers under Art. 26.

There are 3 operating systems running in any phone:

Economic growth usually means a combination of:

- You're selling products/services to more people (either internal growth or exporting more)

- You're being more efficient

Localized growths might happen as in a new product that people buy (or is replacing an old product)

Now, in a world that seems to be hitting a population limit in the next years, forecasted real growth is anything but obvious. Efficiency can improve but there's a ceiling.

I'm not struggling to grasp anything; as a person who makes stuff, I'm just empathizing with the iPhone's creators. I think we tend to forget what an "oh shit" moment the iPhone reveal really was - it seems obvious now but it was not at all obvious back then.

I feel the same sense of empathy for the companies Apple occasionally steals stuff from, especially Palm. So much of modern iOS (and Android, but Google hired Matthias...) is cribbed from webOS that it makes me a bit sad.
