So basically your argument is we have this wonder cure (that may not even work, who knows?) that involves modifying the building blocks of life (which we barely understand) and we should just release it into the wild because "won't somebody, please, think of the children!"

Think The Simpsons did an episode on this involving gorillas and snakes or something.

Oh, and anyone who thinks that it's maybe is a good idea to study this irreversible idea a bit beforehand should be brought up on charges of Crimes Against Humanity.

And the thalidomide incident lead to the total rethinking on how drugs were approved throughout the world so the fact that it was or wasn't approved by the FDA is totally irrelevant to the discussion at hand, it was the catalyst of change that keeps people from willy-nilly releasing genetically modified insects into the wild today.

As far as I can tell they are actively working on this idea with test releases in Florida (on non-native mosquitoes) so it's not like anyone is trying to kill this idea as you imply. Ok, to be fair, some people are trying to kill this idea but that hasn't stopped them from releasing genetically modified mutants into the wild.

The fact a bunch of /pol/ nazis make use of free speech doesn't invalidate free speech. It doesn't make free speech a "nazi talking point", either. It was Evelyn Beatrice Hall, an English woman, who wrote: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". She was describing Voltaire's beliefs.

Democracy means giving everyone a chance, even those nazis that nobody likes. You can't say you're tolerant and at the same time be intolerant towards that specific group because history condemns them. You've got to be better than that on principle. If you claim that rationality should prevail, then engage them on those terms rather than banning them outright.

I don't associate with flat Earth theorists because I've convinced myself those are false based on my current knowledge of physics. For me, that matter is pretty much settled. However, the people from /pol/ sometimes cite published scientific articles I'd never seen before in order to substantiate their claims. While I take their politicized posts with extra grains of salt, I do check their references and try to form my own opinion on the matter. Many times I end up no wiser than before, sometimes I reach different conclusions. The point is: if people had simply banned their discourse outright, I wouldn't have reached any conclusion at all.

I simply don't want anyone else drawing conclusions for me.

You should edit your comment to remove a certain word beginning with the letter "o". It could cost you big time in court if someone decides to infringe your patent.
Too bad they couldn't get this type of language, details, and examples into the constitution itself. Our patent system might not have been the giant piece of oppressive shit it has become if they had. That would apply to other areas of the constitution as well. If the founders had provided more details and examples, it would give judges and legislators a much clearer idea of their intentions and hopefully make it much harder for them to intentionally misinterpret words, even to the point of redefining meanings of words and phrases to absurd values that no one agrees to but the judges themselves.
c++ lacks competition the way java has, Kotlin,Scala etc. The competing languages in jvm ecosystem is probably making java . a better language and has somewhat made me more optimistic about the direction java is generally heading.
I wonder if the winning side of a US military civil war would capture territory "nation building" style or if they would just use asymmetric reprisals. If it's the latter, civilian gun ownership is just going to get neighbors of insurgents blown up.

I'm also pretty sure that Iraqi civilians didn't have much access to small arms prior to the destabilization of the country. Didn't slow down the insurgency any.

The supply is not endless for good software engineers, I had a very difficult time hiring junior folks, since the Facebooks, Googles, and Apples of the world pay so well, and yet, some people are delusional enough to accept.

Artists are easier to hire, and I think that your explanation holds nicely.

The easiest to hire are playtesters, who think playing games for a living is awesome, until they realize that making Kirby jump over that cloud 800 times to reproduce bug is hell. Playtesters have the biggest swing from excitement to disillusionment.

Mostly agree. Except for prior art search costs. Expect a good prior art search to cost more like $10K.

It depends a little on the field (cold fusion prior art search would be lots less), but if you're in chip design, energy storage, diamond synthesis - $10K will be your starting point cost.
The article dabbles, but ultimately misses an opportunity to present the piece I want to read: that the ideal shape of a game development team is not unlike an early stage software startup. Remain small, take your time, stay healthy, and put some love into it. Recent years have birthed some real gems from teams of one, three, or single digits. In this category I'd vouch for Hollow Knight, Celeste, Ghost of a Tale, and Crawl. Whether these games make enough money to warrant the investment of their creators versus being at a large company is a worthy debate, but to me it's apparent that we're in a golden age of games made by small groups of visionary creators.

Put another way, there's an exodus from unwieldy large teams that lack responsibility and a sense of craft and ownership.

There's also the problem of 'backlog fatigue'. There's only so much time in life for playing any game, which makes you purchase them much more carefully and for different reasons than you did even five years ago. For me it's much more in the spirit of thanks and support than as a transaction.
I like abundant caution. In any case, I refer curious infringers to the claims.

Apple never sells anything at wholesale at over a 50% discount. Where would a third party company be getting new Apple headphones from where they could sell them profitably at $13.99?
Yes, some subject areas cost a lot more. Supply and demand and legalese and whatnot.

> Edit/post script: Also, I think you implicitly are assuming that utility is one dimensional, and that you can add up quality of life changes and balance them against lives ended. That does not necessarily seem valid or essential to some form of utilitarianism.

It seems that way to me. What difference does it make to utility whether a life ended naturally or unnaturally? Indeed, death from organ failure is probably much more painful than whatever I might do as an unethical doctor. Once you're looking at utility + non-utilitarian considerations like "murder is wrong," it's simply not utilitarianism anymore.

Since we're hung up on details, let's look at other examples:

* You're a judge in a frontier town with only a rudimentary justice system wherein the only possible punishment is hanging the accused person on the spot after they are found guilty. A townsperson is accused of witchcraft. You know this defendant is not guilty, because there is no such thing as witchcraft, but you are also certain that if you rule that the defendant is not guilty a riot will break out and several people will be killed. Therefore, the utility-maximizing option would seem to be falsely finding the defending guilty and ordering execution. Is that the ethical thing to do?

* You are preparing a body for burial. The body is to be buried with several pieces of precious jewelry, per the family's request. You know that if you steal the jewelry, replace it with costume jewelry, pawn the real jewelry, and use the funds to buy your friends dinner, nobody will be any the wiser, and you will have maximized utility by using the jewelry to bring your friends happiness rather than burying it. Ethical?
> Why bother for the cost and enforcement?

The cost is not a big deal. Spending 10's of thousands for a product earning millions is not a big deal.

However enforcement is ridiculous. One of my patents was for a very unique product idea that no other sane person would come up with. One of our distributors announced an exact copy product.

We called in lawyers and they agreed we had an excellent case. At the end of the meeting they said they'd need a million dollar retainer. It wasn't worth it. We checked and couldn't get a better price.

All in all the experience has spoiled me on the idea of ever patenting anything again.
I write the server-side in Go, cross-compile to a Linux binary, and set that up as a service on a vanilla Ubuntu box (usually Digital Ocean). Deploying a new version is a matter of sftp'ing the new binary (and any templates, images, etc) over the top of the old one and restarting the service.

If I need a database then I use Postgres, and the setup for that can be a pain, so I get it documented/scripted using Ansible.

If I need something more complex than plain HTML on the client side then I use a Makefile to synchronise Webpack + Babel + React (and the hot reload during development), and the compiled bundle.js becomes another file to copy over.

I realise it's not very 2018, but to be honest I've kinda lost the will to live over learning anything more meta at this point.

"Using JavaScript's eval function to evaluate limited arithmetic expressions safely"
I agree that safe eval and safe JSON parsing should be higher class citizens in the JS world. Just curious, is this (one of the reasons) why companies like Salesforce introduce an alternate language such as VisualForce, to have more control over safety? It would be nice to not have to force users to learn a new language to enable dynamic runtime features. I feel that it’s near impossible to outsmart all bad actors, but it would be nice to enable full user creativity by allowing access to an existing language.

It's a good article, but the title is somewhat misleading. The article argues that "private life" historically meant the affairs of "gentlemen". And not privacy generally, as we think of it today. So strengthening of women's rights, for example, involved weakening "private life" protections.

But "private life" protections have also been strengthened, more generally. The right to use contraception. Gay and lesbian rights.
People don't need to be part of a secret organization to use the same arguments, sources, and terminology. A common cause or ideology will suffice.

> We’ve managed to eradicate malaria in many parts of the world without any consequences...

As far as I know we've never eradicated anything by modifying genes which is the part most people are concerned with.

Sure, drain the swamps and/or use whatever methods worked in the past but think twice before releasing mosquitos into the wild which have the unfortunate side effect of turning crocodiles into Godzilla with a single bite. I've seen the movies and <<spoiler alert>> it doesn't turn out well.
Well, there are big areas where the ecosystem is quite underdeveloped, like differential equations, which have a lot of holes that need new algorithms and improvement. It would be extremely difficult to develop all of the necessary algorithms in C/C++/Fortran, and pretty much impossible in Python/MATLAB (I tried at first), but it's a breeze to tackle this in Julia. So for these kinds of scientific computing areas where there's tons of work with few people with the necessary expertise, Julia is a great way to start getting some good implementations out there for people to use.
Heroku is still a great choice if you're willing to pay to never think about infrastructure.

Perhaps the most important reason authoritarian regimes fail in the modern world has to do with decision making. In order to make good decisions, you need accurate information and a good discussion of alternatives and their likely outcomes.

The modern world is so complex and changes so much that the only way to get this is a free flow of information in which everyone can honestly say what is happening in their particular part of the society, and everyone can make suggestions and offer evaluations.

Authoritarian regimes shut all of this off, such as through turning the press into a governmental propaganda machine, and dictating what university professors can research.

The consequence is the top decision makers live in an epistemic bubble and become increasingly out of touch with reality, and increasingly subject to group-think. And that in turn leads to poorer and poorer decisions, and eventually the system comes to an end. I think it is quite predictable that this is where Xi's regime is heading over the long term.

I use Swagger/OpenAPI to define the REST API, which is fast and makes the API including the main data types easily visible.

To implement the server side I typically generate Java JAX-RS skeleton code that can run in Jetty using Swagger codegen. You fill out implementation code and the app is off and running.

On the client side I generate Angular client stubs using Swagger codegen, then fill build services and UI components on top. For CLIs or other tools you can take a similar approach or just write the REST calls directly.

Code generation from an OpenAPI spec makes this process a lot quicker as it takes care of most of the boilerplate code necessary to process REST requests. It's especially helpful for making quick changes and also helps you to get to a stable, easily understandable API which is necessary if you decide to turn the service(s) into a real product.

Docker is incidentally a godsend for systems with multiple services, especially if you work in polyglot environments.
That seems to match the logic clang-trunk is using:

If the assignment is in the initializer then its using the simple C++ RVO-style call to blah():

void zot() {
foo f = blah();
}

zot:
push rbp
mov rbp, rsp
sub rsp, 1040
lea rdi, [rbp - 1040]
call blah
add rsp, 1040
pop rbp
ret

But if the variable has the opportunity to leak then it adds a memcpy in the caller:

void zot() {
foo f;
leak(&f);
f = blah();
}

zot:
push rbp
mov rbp, rsp
sub rsp, 2080
lea rdi, [rbp - 1040]
call leak
lea rdi, [rbp - 2080]
call blah
mov eax, 1036
mov edx, eax
lea rdi, [rbp - 1040]
lea rcx, [rbp - 2080]
mov rsi, rcx
call memcpy
add rsp, 2080
pop rbp
ret

Although weirdly the memcpy is removed when optimizations are turned on. This may be a bug.

ember new my-app

Yes Ember is still great. Ember data has gotten bloated though so I say pull that shit out IMO unless you are really used to it.

Ember v3.0 is all modular now, so you can just strip out modules until you get down to Glimmer. Versus React or Vue where you start with basically nothing and build upwards.

Exact opposite philosophy, but way faster for building 90% of CRUD apps.

>But "private life" protections have also been strengthened, more generally. The right to use contraception. Gay and lesbian rights.

I think the article makes a sensible distinction here between 'personal privacy' and private space which the author calls 'aggregate privacy'.

The former is really a way for individuals to obtain autonomy and control, whereas private spaces can be used to dominate and escape from civil society.

The conception of the home as 'a man's personal castle' was probably the culmination of this. People who lost more and more control in an increasingly more open public space and expanding commons reserved their right to control their family without anybody watching.
