> I think that the C# focus of .NET is a major mistake holding the platform back, especially when we have languages like F#, Scala, Swift, ReasonML and Rust these days.

Yeah F# is really nice, but the IDE support is kinda meh. Also .Net expects you to embrace nil at a lot of points which doesn't gel so nice with F#. But Swift has a worse problem with Objective-C-isms but being a first class citizen really helps as they make a lot of API's really better to use with Swift.
Confidence, honesty, and a smile have always worked best for me. Having done a fair amount of contracting and consulting I have been on quite a few interviews and expect, in every case, to be asked questions to which I don't know the answer; when I'm the interviewer I like to have questions more advanced for the position just to probe for an upper level of competence.

Don't forget that an interview is a learning opportunity as well. Typically it's not just whether you can answer the questions with an academically correct answer but whether you can then re-state that in your own words with confidence. And if you don't know the answer, ask the interviewer what the answer is and write it down! This is good for three reasons: (1) it's a great way to learn what the interviewer thinks is important to know for the job, and (2) it could be a question someone else will ask in a future interview so writing it down and studying sets you up for successful interviews later, and (3) you might know the answer but not the correct name. For example: years ago on an interview I was asked to describe what the Factory Pattern was and said I didn't know. I then asked the interviewer to tell me so that I could study more about it as part of my professional self-study... but I realized from the description I had been doing this pattern but didn't know the name for it. I explained this to the interviewer, gave examples of when I used it in my code and why (and I got an offer after that interview too).

> I've never had any problems with name collisions, while applying only very little discipline.

Oh boy, you need to apply more than a little discipline. I applied only very little discipline once and defined a macro which I properly namespaced (or so I thought) e.g. ACME_SOMETHING. After quite a bit of debugging I realized that in one compilation unit a variable assigned with ACME_SOMETHING had a different value than it would get in all other compilation units. As it turns out my very little discipline wasn't enough and one of the system headers had a ACME_SOMETHING-define to that other value!
iirc and ime, that sort of provision in Lua only allows you keep running at a cost. You'll still encounter hitching because infinite loop detection is based on a detection of number of line executions.
Meh, that seems a little sensationalist. Any significant metal would likely throw this in a loop. You could even buy paint with graphite in it to block weak RF signals outright. IIRC most military bases and data centers protect against this sort of leakage.

Happy user of Cookie Autodelete here, I agree it is a good replacement.
It is. One procedural solution is increased rigor, i.e., formal methods (a-la seL4) and unit/integration testing to prove isolation properties. I still don’t understand how Linux or Docker get a free pass, be so popular and complex while lacking basic assurances of automated, repeatable, demonstrable quality.

You would inevitably just end up re-implementing a shittier Web with less features and no adoption. A waste of time.

In the best case scenario you implement something almost identical to the current web which is only slightly better, and therefore not worth moving the entire world over to your stack just to get these minor improvements.

Through insane amounts of regulatory capture. You could hardly hope to get government under greater private control with an overwhelming military coup.

This could be done even at a block association level with 5G/wifi or maybe even 4G.

4G/5G/Wifi is critical to undermining the incumbent ISPs. Urban and heavy to medium suburban rollout could be rapid.

Perhaps google should buy T-Mobile to get access to cell towers as a start... take the licenses from Nextel/Sprint for ISP-level data delivery, and keep T-Mobile for regular coverage.

Of course, I haven't tracked the status of T-Mobile / Nextel / Sprint's spectrum rights in a long time.

But google or a consortium could provide turnkey solutions to doing block / neighborhood / community / village / city wireless ISP that actually works.

And provide the legal backing when the prolific army of telecom lawyers come knocking to shake down smaller operations.

I'm not sure what distinction you're trying to make? Build it yourself vs reuse? Old-fashioned file-sharing reuse vs modern network-based package management? Sounds like you're mocking anything that isn't homegrown or acquired via floppy disk, but I want to give you the benefit of the doubt...
As someone who's now lived in 5 countries let me just say : your post is absurd. All of those countries have governments that "successfully provide several means to prevent ..." and ... in none of them was it a problem to find people sleeping on the street. I never once actually tried to find them, incidentally. Just take some trains in any large city.

Which is that country that supposedly prevents these situations ? I'm sure finding a picture won't be a problem.

But I know, it makes you feel real good about your own worst-case future to think that doesn't happen. Now go out and talk to some older people that have had a bad run, and I guarantee, even in the Netherlands, you'll feel a whole lot worse about it. None of the other countries come even close to what the Netherlands supposedly does (If you don't mind living in a building where you get attacked daily for being old that is. Or the social worker doesn't like you. Or ... And let's just not discuss the waiting lines to get to talk to someone if something goes wrong)

I just don't know where people get the idea that the government has their back. Incomprehensible. I mean, sure they have rules and regulations that may help in specific situations (especially for rich guys to pay less tax I mean), but help people who are powerless ? Good luck with that.

I'd still say the point stands that 99% of the routers out there have awful security and it's just a matter of time (often months) because your router is overtaken by a botnet, especially if you don't update to the latest firmware (whenever/if that may arrive).

Open source software helps, but if the firmware for your particular router is updated less often than every 12 months, I think you'll also become just as exposed.
> I live in a large city

Do we have to assume you're from the USA?

Cause it is going to differ per country.

In The Netherlands it goes like this.

1) You look up your health insurance to check how you're insured. (Ideally, you try to extra insure at end of year for whatever you think is necessary but it is almost always never a net profit, or extremely small.)

2) Then you call up your doctor for an appointment. If you think your discussion with your doctor requires extra time, tell that to the assistant.

3) You go visit your doctor and explain the problem(s) you have. He/she'll likely give you a reference for a psychologist/psychiatrist (latter if you are interested in using drugs such as anti depressants). This reference is important for insurance reasons.

This is where the advice from me actually ends since I'm not your doctor! You have found a mental health professional. From there, you can work out which treatment you want, or get directed towards more/other professionals (I gave some examples). One last piece of advice. Avoid all the paranormal BS. Stick with conventional science (mindfulness is conventional science, btw).
> To be fair, I think that the assumptions Lua makes about the stack are a bit too trivial, with the Lua library developer having to constantly check if there is enough space on the stack to push a new value.

What the fuck? This is almost never a concern for Lua C developers. If you're concerned with LUA_MAXCSTACK defaulted at 2048 and you're running out of space, you're doing something seriously wrong and need to reevaluate how you're using the Lua C API.

I don’t think either offer much assurances unless there’s good test coverage, mocking, stubbing, fuzzing, property testing and so on to ensure code is solid. Trust but verify (automatically)

My chicken coop is not a great example coop. It's a shed the previous homeowners converted into a small coop.

In round 2 of reinforcement that has lasted for two years without incident I used heavy 2x4s drilled into the wall to cover the hatch that used to be there. Round 1 I used some thin plywood to cover the hatch that the previous homeowners had installed. That was destroyed by a bear (and before people ask I used a night wildlife camera to see what was happening). The guy just ripped it off. They have not bothered the heavier duty reinforcement.

Other people in the area have had bears kill chickens but the highest kill count I have heard about came from minks, which was over 2 dozen in one night. Apparently at some point in the past someone was trying to run a fur farm with minks, and when they went belly up they released all of them into the woods. Minks and similar small predators are really effective at breaking into buildings and killing helpless/dumb creatures.

Black bears are tiny dudes compared to grizzlies. They are pretty strong and very athletic, but they are not huge dangers to people unless you do something really stupid. They are more hazardous to livestock, dogs, and property. Deer and moose are more actively hazardous to people and far more numerous because they don't really understand the whole concept of looking both ways before crossing the road.

They don’t even need to do that: just making e.g. Netflix or YouTube display a message like “Your experience is bad right now because your ISP is trying to double-charge for your traffic. Click here to call them…” would get an enormous amount of leverage.
Oops, my bad, I interpreted the people buying the uber rides and lyft rides as doing it because it's cool and hip, but I see you meant selling to the drivers, not the riders.

That's doing it the hard way. This is the language-standard way:

bool down: 1;
bool left: 1;
bool right: 1;
bool a: 1;
bool b: 1;
bool x: 1;
bool y: 1;
};

That's a structure with a size of one byte. Bit fields work just fine in C and C++, yet many programmers don't know this.
Dupe. Quite a hateful screed, but it's somewhat heartening to see the virtually complete lack of support for it on Twitter.
>> Cubans drive 50 year old cars because their closest neighbor, who is also a superpower, has been enforcing sanctions on them for decades. It's disenguous to try and measure how a system works then another party is putting their foot on the scale.

There are a myriad of reasons for the embargo on Cuba. Let's not sugar coat this fact just to use it as an example of "American imperialism".

The reason they drive classic cars has nothing to do with the embargo:

After Fidel Castro assumed power in 1959, he imposed a new law that prevented anyone without government permission from importing foreign automobiles. That turned Cuba into a car museum in the making, sealing the island off from the automotive future.

http://time.com/money/3640018/cuba-classic-cars/

You should also keep in mind it was possible to get a new car imported, but you needed government permission to do so. This meant only the rich, celebrities and professional athletes were allowed to do so, keeping the majority of the population fending for themselves to keep their old decaying cars alive and working.
>But the point about "unsightly" boxes gets to the heart of the problem

The issue is hardly unique to "Big California cities" though, is it? Many localities across the country, including those I cited, have taken similar exception to fiber huts, "lawn refrigerators" and similar infrastructure components; so much so, that it's cliche by now. And, at it's core, it's the same old issue that has manifested in different ways since the phrase "property values" came into existence: everyone wants cell service, but no one wants a cell tower in their backyard.

You citing examples of cities that took a different approach is just the good-ol' association fallacy at its best. "Why, these places aren't California and look at what they did!"

But, it's funny that you mentioned Louisville and build-out requirements. Rather than imposing requirements, the city itself had a plan to expand fiber in an extremely cost-effective way (a third of the usual cost) and in a manner that would serve even lower income neighborhoods. Then, in stepped "tax-payer advocates" backed by the Koch brothers to block the plan, supposedly to protect taxpayers from such tyranny. [0]

The point is that broadband expansion has been an overwrought, complex fight that has impacted various municipalities across the country in different ways. Thus, it's disingenuous to suggest that broadband expansion challenges can be summed up as "Big California cities" and their "Big California impediments". In fact, it's so intellectually dishonest that it leaves a whiff of ideologizing lingering in the air.

Private public doesnt work, its even worse then a market economy. Only public providers will bring internet to people further and further away from main cities, while private companies will focus on the densest areas of the biggest cities.

We have all of that in Germany already. It doesnt work, laying fiberglass or even copper outside of major cities is just not a reasonable thing to do in a market economy. Same as its not worth while to send a postmen every day, or even every week, to a small village. This is something that needs to be financed through a shared burden, otherwise you have the situation, that large part of your country dont have DSL yet. With private companies siphoning of easily provided customers, the public is stuck with a gigantic burden to provide the absolut minimum to people.
We're in a crypto bear market. There have been crypto bear markets before. The May 2011 Bitcoin bubble involved a 20x increase over 1 month, and then a 90% decrease over the following 6 months. The March 2013 bubble involved a 7x increase over 2 months, and then a 50% decline over the next 3 months. The September 2013 bubble involved a 10x increase over 2 months, and then an 85% decline over the next 2 years.

In contrast to the stock market, where bull markets are long and gradual but bears are short and steep, crypto bull markets tend to be short and steep and the bears long and gradual. This is because crypto market penetration, in the grand scheme of things, is tiny. I've heard it quoted at 1% before. So when there is new news, lots of people crowd in and bump the price up rapidly, and then once the news cycle dies down, they gradually forget about Bitcoin and eventually give up on it.

However, among the speculators are a small minority of people who are actually building things with cryptocurrency. When their projects launch and find an audience, they end up kicking off the next crypto bubble. That's why each bubble has been larger and more broad-based than the previous one, and why they seemingly happen at 2-4 year intervals (2-4 years being the time it takes to build a real product and find customers for it). Coinbase itself was founded in 2012 in the midst of the bear market following the 2011 bubble. Ethereum (which kicked off the ICO craze) was founded in the 2014 bear market following the 2013 bubble. Somewhere among the 1900 ICOs funded in the 2017 bubble will be the seeds of the 2019-2020 bubble, which will likely be the bubble to end all bubbles.

A very similar pattern happened with the dot-com bubble, which people remember today as the period in 2000 where everybody was going public on zero revenues. But people who didn't live through it often forget that there were mini-bubbles before then: there was a run-up in '98 (which, incidentally, is when Paul Graham sold ViaWeb and got the money to fund this site), and there was the initial boom that kicked it off with Netscape's IPO in '95.

Debt instruments are based on faith and credit.

Those events are indicative of scenarios where the market lost confidence in the faith and credit of those nations. When you can't sell bonds anymore, you implicitly borrow by devaluing the money.

That's where the derogatory treatment of "fiat" money by goldbugs and cryptocurrency advocates falls down. A government can declare that something is worth a dollar, but the market determines what a dollar is worth.
