Its a style of programming C was built for, and not many other languages.

It's almost the opposite of good style elsewhere: aggressively procedural code with an elegant boundary.

I'd say it would be a good lesson to many who are down the or pure functional rabbit holes: perhaps there is some other sense of modularity that goes missing when "single purpose" is applied too narrowly.
I want to say not with the same brazenness, if that's a word.

However, I know this isn't true. Just watched a documentary by Al Jazeera about sheriffs in the US who are in charge of running county jails. This is why we need to protect the rights of whistleblowers.

The funny thing is that here in the US we have somehow placated must people into thinking they're a-ok if they're white. In hindsight, this is the main coup of the civil war and how the South actually won the civil war even after losing the war. Just reframe the question and make it about whites versus blacks.

My favorite story is a young white woman who moved to Overland Park, Kansas is greeted by her full legal name by a neighbor who works for the police. The most likely way he knew her middle name was through a search on their database (afair, she said she usually omitted her middle name). It sounds like nothing but this is a demonstration of power and that he's watching her.

We know all we need to know from the Stanford prison experiments. The guards in the experiment didn't just act rude based on race. I think more people need to be aware that this isn't about the color of someone's skin. This will be a very rude awakening for a lot of people when they get caught up.

Lost Japanese Video Games Discovered in a Folder on a Private Forum
I am with you 100% - however what keeps me driving is my distrust of other people's driving skills. I know my city's roads very well and I trust myself to pay more attention than a random uber driver.

It may be an irrational fear but that's what keeps me from full time ubering.
Well, I didn't see any trouble with it. Chinese tplink switch starts at $200 (new) and has 4 sfp+ ports, plus a bunch of gbe copper. Network cards are $20-30 a pop on eBay (used mlnx), twinax DACs are $10, for longer distance transceivers ($10) and cables ($2 conn + $1/meter) are abundant also.

Newer had a trouble with this cheap setup. The only bottleneck is ssd speed in NAS.

anything above 10g might be a trouble, but I didn't try it.

People call these thing gravitons but they are particles in the sense that light and electricity are particle based - which is to say that in the limit it turns out that a discrete particle doesn't describe everything that's happening and some wave like properties in space and time are a good fit too. The particles are sort of like a manifestation or a partial mathematical description of the thing that's underneath. The particle is an excitation of a field - all particles are, so mechanical interactions reduce to fields. The thing to remember is that your intuitive and perceptual apparatus was largely evolved to help you get fruit in a forest, and later to help you catch rabbits and shell fish. The ideas that are obvious are approximations that allow you to navigate the world of the past - but they are not "right".
They don't need people.

The GDP of Japan might benefit, but that doesn't mean benefit for typical Japanese people. Wages would be pushed down. There would be cultural conflict. Japan's unique culture would die.

Japan is not in a permanent spiral of depopulation. There exist families who have plenty of children. These children will tend to do as their parents did. After a few generations of decline, the population will rebound.
> The Apache Harmony code base is an open source, free Java implementation, developed by the Apache Software Foundation that is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Google had every right to use the Apache project according to the terms of the license.

Except it wasn't a TCK project licensed for deployment on embedded devices.

> Sun is solely responsible for their bad business decisions due, in most part, to their incompetence. Issuing a license to Google would not have saved them from being acquired by Oracle.

Says the Google employee.

Why did not Google buy the Java assets from Sun, given the deep investment on Android?

Because they hoped Sun would silently sink and stop being a thorn on Google's misconduct.

Instead Sun got bought by Oracle, so stop complained, had Google bought Sun instead this would have neved happened.

> I wasn't aware that you had to implement 100% of an open source project if you forked it. Can you cite where that's a requirement?

Ah now you state that Google did fork Java.

> The Android SDK uses a forked subset of the OpenJDK. And why wouldn't Google remove things they didn't need like AWT, Swing, etc.

Because OpenJDK is to Java like libc is to C, libc++ to C++, DOM APIs to JavaScript, ....

Forking while pruning the available API breaks the compatibility with existing code and fragments the eco-system.

Exactly what Sun managed to prevent with J++, whereas with Android Java they were a bit low on cash.

> No it's not. There is no association architecturally or IP related between the JVM and ART. If there was then Oracle would not have lost every one of their JVM IP patent claims they asserted against the Android runtime.

Whatever Oracle has chosen as attack vector is little relevant for the fact that I cannot take a random piece of Java code and be assured it compiles and runs on Android.

If Google really wanted to drive Java somewhere else, while breaking backwards compatibility, the solution was in reach of their bank account when Sun started looking for buyers.
Ask HN: Idea: exotic/oldies tech jobs list (DOS, OS/2, Motif, etc...)

That's nonsense. The gains of investing in a work crew still make money for capital. They still get their income. The increase in productivity is its own reward - the road gets built faster or with less labor, you're able to out-bid your competition. It makes more sense to extract money from the people who contributed money than from people who contributed labor.

I suspect "full blooded Japanese" means Yamato on both sides to them.
Perhaps they are concerned because the patterns of abuse (of popular web browser Javascript engines) may ultimately threaten Mozilla's source of funding (advertising). If for example this abuse is reaching a tipping point.

According to the blog they wish to study these patterns but are opting to outsource the work.

As users should we be concerned about Mozilla's role in the current advertisement-centric web content ecosystem.

For example the popular web browser as an instrument for pre-determining "default web search", a service provided by commercial websites that are wholly-dependent on advertising.

What sort of relationship should authors of browsers have with authors of particular webpages, if any.

For example unless I am mistaken early (non-commercial) www browsers had no such relationships.

The blog post asks for researchers who can think outside the box.

Can we also think outside of "the current advertising-centric web" box?
What worked then, would probably still work today
This refers to salary you earn/will earn in Japan. If one has the funds and the desire, can even start own company/branch office in Japan and pay oneself salary.

The caveat is that most software salaries would pay closer to 5M yen than to 10M.

Too late to edit my original post now, but in case it's not clear, one certainly can work in Japan even with a smaller salary. It's just that if you want perks like ability to bring family/apply for permanent residency early/etc., the HSFP visa is handy.
If you abolish corporate taxation, (rich) people will just use them to avoid taxes. Won't have to pay any tax on investment growth if you wrap all your investments in a corporation. Hiring me? No you're hiring my corporation, which pays me a meager salary. Company car? Check. Company apartment? Check.

There is another consideration, you want to motivate people with lots of money to invest it somewhere. Money sitting on a bank ledger can't do nearly as much as money in a venture capital fund. You have to be careful with taxes to make sure you don't disincentivize investment too much.

I think the goal should be _more_ people earning capital gains, and perhaps a more progressive tax rate on them independent of other income including a generous 0% bracket at the bottom. (i.e. regardless if you make $20,000 or $1,000,000 in wages, the first $10,000 in capital gains is tax free.)
could you be a bit more specific about what you feel is "bad advice"?
Is there a humane way to kill a criminal? [BBC]
During the Civil War, the US Army consulted Florence Nightingale about how to manage field hospitals. Survival rates prior to those sanitary reforms were pretty bad due to infections and other sanitary related complications. Anesthetics like sulfuric ether and chloroform, while widely used in surgeries, were not as well understood as today back then.

Andean peoples have a biological adaptation to high altitudes. 33% larger lung capacity, increased red blood cell count, increased hemoglobin concentration and about 0.5 gallons of additional blood in average [1]. This promotes healing.

The Inca did not have powerful anesthetics. Only preparations based on coca leafs and possibly other ingredients. They were skilled in trepanations, since they often injured their heads in close combat.

If we didn't have heavily entrenched imperialist tendencies that allowed us to destroy so-called "inferior cultures" at will, we'd probably have learned a lot more from our fellow man than we have.

The Australian aborigines knew about anti-septics and anti-biotic preparations hundreds of years before we, in the West, claimed the victory for ourselves. They even had a Hippocratic oath hundreds of years before Western physicians, who were still practicing blood-letting as a norm. Colonists arrived, and those injured who stayed in their camps for treatment by the blood-letters, died. Those who consulted the locals, learned bush medicines, were healed and survived.

If only some rational souls had been there to observe, we could've had antibiotics a hundred years sooner. One wonders what sort of world it would've been if we'd paid more attention to the aborigines, rather than massacre them.
Dunno, it was few years ago, so prices moved anyway overtime due to other market influences. Effectively, it does not matter whether it moved up for women initially or down for men, as wish to earn combined with competition among insurance companies should move prices over time somewhere to middle.

>1. The higher the labor tax rate, the fewer people will work.

This is what you said and is basically untrue. It is not a gross argument, we are talking about how taxation motivates people. The fact that wage income is taxed does not seem like it would make people work less.

This may be different if we ever start a significant movement towards a post-scarcity economy where automation makes necessities so inexpensive that people with even a small amount of capital do not need to work. Then you might have to do strange things to incentivize people to do the few jobs that need humans.

It depends on your actual application. Given your lack of programming skills I have a hard time recommending any programming based technology.

As it stands you wi9ll not only need to learn the technology you are going to use but also the programming language.

When people ask me which programming language to learn, I recommend that with the best debugger. Screaming at the computer WTF! for an hour does not help sovle problems.

For a web application I am unsure which has a good debugger, although I am sure there is some variety.

I would also look for which ones provide plenty of learning material.

You can undo if you notice quickly enough, if your dog, child, doorbell or 1,001 other things didn't distract you at the wrong moment and if you didn't get an incoming call in the temporary undo window. No, we won't tell you how long you can undo for, even though times can vary. Don't be old (or even middle-aged needing reading glasses), or slow.

It calls to mind Fortran-style function docs which would give a formula to compute the size of a work array for the caller to provide. That really ties the implementation to the header. It was really boring to work with, though it often pushed you to understand what was going on inside.
Abandoning some facilities does not "make things unreadable, undebugable and unmaintainable" and can allow them being used much more widely.

The limitations seem similar to #[no_std] in Rust, and while that's not something to strive for at all costs if you can do without it allows e.g. embedded developers or kernel/OS developers to use the work.

Just because we experience something that feels like a decision-making process does not mean that experience is part of the process itself.

I would assume that it has to do with the states desire to promote renewable energy. If the price of commercial electricity is too low, it would not be cost effective to use other methods. How much of your bill is taxes? I assume it gives a breakdown of costs.
Rakuten is not the best you can aim for in Japan, at least if you are willing to live in Tokyo. It is a decent first experience, especially if you are young, but it is still very stiff compared to international companies, and salaries are low.

I am not really sure what you are talking about.

I have actually read a bit about how one of my great-great grandfathers lived, and it didn't seem he was miserable and could arguably be said to be better off.

More to the point though, the question was how the West got rich. I was talking about the last ~1000 years, maybe a little less, of history in the western world and how their development led in part to the differences in development today. What that has to do with how many ancestors 100 years ago were miserable or not doesn't really connect.

Taking on that subject though, I have this idea that people regardless of situations are on a grand scheme equally miserable. Whether living in a cave 20,000 years ago or a New York penthouse, if you had a way to quantify misery I doubt you would be able to find a significant discrepancy. (corollary: much of the depression and other mental illnesses experienced today are a result of the drastically different environment and set of hardships experienced compared to the ones we evolved in)
This is amazing! Looking at this I learned and realized a lot of patterns that I never really considered before.

One thing about the UX of it - because you haven't gotten enough feedbsck on that already; a demo of how the scales work would be cool. E.g., perhaps on first load, the scales could play for one section automatically starting from the bottom string and then going up. Then I think people could realize what the dots represent, the colors, and how it all ties together.

Well done! I'm curious to know how all this works from a math/theory perspective, but not curious enough to get in over my head :)
House prices are not determined solely by the seller's feeling of what they ought to get. Demand matters. Assuming demand is either constant or increasing, thus the current problem, then supply must go up for prices to go down. Supply can be increased in two ways. First, by building more houses and second by people leaving the area. Prop 13 only reduces supply if it discourages people from leaving the area. If people move within the same area then supply stays the same. So, are you saying that you want to repeal prop 13 to drive people out of the Bay so that others can move in?
