When the GBP was a bit stronger you could fund a trip to NY and buy an iPhoneX/Macbook instead of buying in the UK.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to release a few Mac minis soon with user upgradeable RAM, drive, etc. We know the Mac Pro is anyway not coming this year. It looks like the new Macs will just be updates to the MacBook Pro and MacBook lines. Hopefully some without the Touch Bar and with a newer and better (or older and better?) keyboard.
What does "fulfills himself as a flight."?

We need to define flight here: "a brilliant, imaginative, or unrestrained exercise or display" [1]. So he fulfills himself as a a brilliant, imaginative, or unrestrained exercise or display. He toots his own horn, to promote oneself; to boast or brag; to tout oneself [2].

What does the quote mean?

They (some doctors and professors in this quote) have abdicated their freedom to their discipline or interest. They see all things through the single lens of their discipline, and all things outside of it as trite, "stupid", something not to think on at all or to think of only in how it relates to their specialty.

Take the result of Zuckerberg's "need" to monetizing Facebook. This has dire consequences on peoples security, and even peoples personal sanity. To Zuckerberg these things are dealt with in a way "lacking in sensitivity, intelligence, and humanity", all that matters is Facebook's bottom line. Further on in Simone de Beauvoir's Ethics of Ambiguity she quotes "The rest of the world is a faceless desert. Here again one sees how such a choice is immediately confirmed. If there is being only, for example, in the form of the Army, how could the military man wish for anything else than to multiply barracks and maneuvers?"

The overall idea being that people highly specialized and competent in one area make the logical fallacy of arguing from authority (themselves being the authority they are arguing from) and put forth the most mundane, lacking in nuance "ordinary values" in areas that they have little understanding, haven't researched and aren't really interested in.

Works well until you need to find an address in a city. Also, sometimes handy to be able to search for Mcdonalds, supermarket, fuel station etc.
So cool. Thank you! :)!

So Google has golang, which seems to be great for some kinds of server-side development. Then it backs kotlin which is great for android development, and also embraced by large server-side framework such as Spring. Then it has Dart for flutter and cross-platform mobile development.

We're now at the point where google has 3 very good programming language, each successful in their initial environment, but are necesseraly going to try to reach out to the other's languages territory. Flutter / Fuchsia is supposed to replace Android, Dart is very interesting for server-side development, and Kotlin aims at "worldwide domination" since it's based on the JVM.

That's exciting, but also very confusing if you want to find the good environment to specialize in.
Yeah it was incredibly annoying when my new expensive TV played ads when I was trying to browse apps... really? WTF.

I've started to rely more on my PS4's apps to view TV. While it does have its own ads, none of them seem as intrusive as the one from the native TV interface.

I think the cost of fetching and parsing the data is much less than the cost of building an index and an engine to execute queries against that massive index.
Exactly this. And use something like an Apple TV for connected watching through a company that actually cares about your privacy.
Where do you take that from? Everyone can run a hub and pubsubhubbub hubs were generally free. Also, no, it won't read your activity. All a hub sees is that a site published an entry and that a feedreader - which can serve millions of users on its own - wants to be notified of that. Hardly confidential information.
Some people rely on their tech to take care of a lot of details, and simply forget the edge cases sometimes. People are human and make mistakes. It's pretty disrespectful to jump to conclusions about their relationships.
The NYT story gives the impression that at least there is a simple opt-out: Is your Sony using some kind of dark patterns to get you to opt back in?
If you think Google and Facebook are the only companies doing this on the internet, you're in a for a huge shock. There are tons of companies that do this without providing any service for you.

Recall a recent story on HN about Exactis leaking data on 100s of millions of people? That's just one of them, and until the breach almost nobody had ever heard of them.
It's just plain wrong to say that there are more facts in a theory than proofs of facts. Both of these sets are countably infinite. Godel's theorem proves that provable facts are a strict subset of all facts.

A number of those C++ benchmarks are "cheating" by using SIMD intrinsics, which was only stabilized in Rust about two weeks ago.
I'm actually sort-of okay with this. It's opt-in and there's no dark patterns pushing you to accept. The only thing I have qualms with is the obfuscated language they use to say "we send what you watch to advertisers".
This Is Why You Spent All That Time Learning to Program
That’s a hassle and you never know exactly what you’ll get. Commercial TVs also don’t go on sale like regular ones do. Better to use a smart, safe connected device from a manufacturer that won’t sell your data (Apple).
"zero overhead abstractions" is a principle of the language, not the library. The STL containers are clearly designed to be on the "safer" side than the performant side. You are right that, perhaps, we've extracted the wrong lesson from the STL but your version ("iterators everywhere, including for your own algorithms and container types") is still definitely the right message.

As an example, STL unordered-maps have fairly strict requirements around iterator invalidation and that results in indirection that do affect performance. It's pretty easy to make a "faster" unordered_map that tosses that requirement (as many do).

> plenty of very good arguments can be made you're better off not-reading at least one of them.

I'm extremely confused as to why this would be the case for TAOCP.

While I wouldn't recommend TAOCP for "just reading", I don't know why it wouldn't be recommended for study. Knuth provides a very interesting approach for algorithms analysis, deep in substance.
If that were actually true, no one would train for the SAT. It's a simple test easily trained for, not some ideal measure of aptitude.

It's not about race. You want people with diverse upbringings because they will do different things, and because they had the chance to go to a good school maybe they can do those different things better.
With all due respect that is hogwash. The war of independence was not quite the glorious thing Americans like to paint it as.
1) The southern states only joined after they learned that the British were freeing slaves. Now the British may not have had ulterior motives, but then don't pretend all Americans did either.

2) The Royal Proclamation of 1763, which forbid european american settlers from expanding into native American territory, was a major contribution to resentment towards British rule. Not exactly a very honorable thing.

3) As for slavery. The Convict lease system existed until past the 1900s or so. This was an enormous system. Over 70% of the income of the state of Albama was from convict lease system. This was just black slavery under a new name. Not only that but it was significantly more brutal than the old slavery.

4) My wife's side of the family is from Hawaii so I've been there many times. I know all to well about the extent of involuntary servitude placed upon immigrants there. People were beaten lynched, racist laws preventing e.g. Chinese from doing anything but farm work. The whole island was illegally invaded by the US. Hawaii was recognized as a sovereign nation by all of Europe at the time.

Ok, I am not trying to say the US was the worst ever, one always ends up getting those accusations. I merely asking to stop this incessant American tendency to glorify themselves as so much better than everybody else.

Painting the English as some sort of evil tyrants might make sense in India. But in America people tended to enjoy a lot more freedom and lower taxes than anywhere else. Britain had never promised representation to colonial subjects. The US followed the exact same practice in their own colonies. Did not see the Philippines get any representation in the US. Puerto Rico still doesn't.
The whole point behind building nuclear defence systems was to render the risk of consequences from a first strike too grave to attempt it, not to achieve perfect balance between the city-eradication potential of the respective nuclear powers. Nobody is about to evaluate how well Trident works in practice by launching a first strike on London.

For all of Trident's limitations, it is impossible to argue with a straight face that the current US executive's desire to maintain the liberal world order and free trade (hahahaha) offers the UK a more reliable defence from threats against UK interests.
Right: that's "crawl, but share".

Both models are fairly isomorphic, modulo the crawl / search locus. The key is on agreed data structures, practices, and access.

I've recommended Ubiquiti to a few friends and neighbors looking to extend Wifi coverage to the back yard or outbuilding or garage. It works quite well, particularly if you have a wired uplink and PoE switch.

I use it in a couple of offices as well, but it seems like the pros are switching to Meraki due to the better (remote, cloud-based) configuration tools... Do any IT professionals make the case for Ubiquiti over Meraki?
> The philosophical content of Godel's theorems is already found in the Liar paradox, "This statement is false."

Sort of. Common reactions to the English version of the liar paradox are along the lines of 'that's meaningless so it doesn't imply anything' or 'so natural language is inconsistent, what do you expect?' Most of the work Gödel did was to find a way to encode meta-logic into formal language in such a way that he could then state the liar paradox in a format so ironclad that it could no longer be dismissed.
Or you know, reduce your perceived need for said content.

More often that not, that's the choice I make. You make it too hard or intrusive for me to see your content and I stop taking part.

And it's funny, a lot of the time when I do this, I'll see a news article pop up a week/month/year later that said content provider is adjusting its policies, seemingly indicating that others are independently making the same choices.

This has happened several times, most notably when I cancelled our Dish junk right before the big "cord cutter" boom. Stop participating if you do not like it. You will survive.
It's OK for people to realize they made a mistake and change accordingly.
What's so interesting is that the same companies that do this will tell you that there is a very serious shortage of software developers. And they'll say this, with a straight face, with absolutely no mention of the pay, as if supply exists completely independently of demand.

Any chance you can talk about those bottlenecks? Might be interesting.
But taxes in the UK are really not that much higher (except VAT in comparison to sales tax).

Of course that depends a lot on which taxes you look at.

For total personal income taxes for an employee on salary, the highest marginal rate (ignoring the odd 60% band at £100k-120k) is currently 47%, and you reach that when your salary passes £150k.

If you go independent and start getting paid through a limited company and then paying yourself, the highest marginal tax rates are effectively about 50% if you pay out through dividends or 54% if you pay out through salary.

And then people wonder why we don't see more successful entrepreneurial types setting up new companies so they can take on bigger projects and create more jobs... I mean, who wouldn't want to pay thousands more in taxes for the same original revenue earned by their work, and take on a bunch of extra paperwork filing and other statutory obligations, while simultaneously losing out on a bunch of statutory employment rights and protections?

I don't recoment Kotling becuase despite being Open Source it requires a proprietary closed source IDE to use it, they have plugin for Eclipse but it will be always a second class citizen and the free version (IDEA) cannot comapre to Eclipse. To me is just a trojan horse that is heavily marketed by Jetbrains, even for Android apps I'd recoment Dart with Flutter over it.
This has been hanging out there for a while it's just that it never got much mainstream press. I wonder what it is specifically about the concept of "AI" that makes it so prone to the magical thinking that drives these boom-bust cycles.

"Merely dealing with lighting conditions, weather conditions, and traffic conditions is immensely complicated. The software requirements are extremely daunting. Nobody even has the ability to verify and validate the software. I estimate that the challenge of fully automated cars is 10 orders of magnitude more complicated than [fully automated] commercial aviation."

"While I enthusiastically support the research, development, and testing of self-driving cars, as human limitations and the propensity for distraction are real threats on the road, I am decidedly less optimistic about what I perceive to be a rush to field systems that are absolutely not ready for widespread deployment, and certainly not ready for humans to be completely taken out of the driver’s seat."

"With autonomous cars, you see these videos from Google and Uber showing a car driving around, but people have not taken it past 80 percent. It's one of those problems where it's easy to get to the first 80 percent, but it's incredibly difficult to solve the last 20 percent. If you have a good GPS, nicely marked roads like in California, and nice weather without snow or rain, it's actually not that hard. But guess what? To solve the real problem, for you or me to buy a car that can drive autonomously from point A to point B—it's not even close. There are fundamental problems that need to be solved."

> I'll offer this much: photons are particles.

Photons are also waves in the EM field.

> As particles, we know them to be part-time resident constituents of massive objects.

I don't think you can say we know that without explain what that means. In no part of physics do we discuss part-time resident constituents.

Your comments use a lot of terms that seem to be of your own creation. Unfortunately, these terms make it hard for your points to be understood because they lack the shared naming conventions that the field of physics uses to discuss these phenomena. Standard naming conventions, both in programming and physics, are enormously important in conveying ideas between people.

Such an argument is bereft of logic and full of lazy moralization and Utopian rhetoric.

It has not always been that incumbent programmers hold back the next generation and in many cases it was absolutely warranted due to shortsighted and narrow-minded ambitions. Your talk of "fresh paradigms" reeks of NIH syndrome.

The advancement of an industry requires careful consideration and conscientious measurement of competency, not some nihilistic desire to burn everything down for the sake of some vague Utopian future.

>stack the deck against them

The question is: how should one react to learning that life is unfair and full of adversity against them?

Perhaps the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass could serve as a good example?

I wonder if Douglass had just remained hopeless, blamed others, and waited on the government to fix his problems, instead of learning to read, educating himself, and becoming resolutely determined to gain freedom, would we even be talking about him right now?

Surely Douglass was delt far worse cards than most american's complaining about the deck today.

In modern history, I still use (modern) Fortran (as well as MATLAB, Python, and R). It does what I need to do, efficiently with minimal coding.
>>takes a certain bent to put the effort into reading it

Years back, I scanned through a few pages and realized it needed effort as you mention.

OTOH, I think there are 2 kinds of great books: one which just suck you into their world and other which demand effort/tax to pay to immerse in that world. The former are incredible books, while the latter are still great.

I found `On Lisp` by PG in the same latter category though GEB and OL tackle different subjects.
> block internet entirely from the TV

That may work with current TVs, but system-on-a-chip vendors have offered devices with LTE/etc baseband processors for several years. The only reason the TVs are still using your internet connection instead of the cellular networks is because nobody has spent the time negotiating for some sort off-peak bulk rate deal with the carriers.

The precedent for that happening is OnStar; if the TV manufactures start to lose too much of their spyware revenue due to being blocked at the home LAN, they will simply bypass the problem.

edit: my point is that the solution to this problem isn't technical. Political fixes (regulation) could solve the problem. Throwing people in jail for trespassing or harassment when they willfully appropriate private spaces without informed consent would also work.

I'm using the first Retina Macbook Pro from 2012. I'm ready to drop thousands of dollars for you Apple, if you would just make a couple of sensible design choices.

Please Apple, bring out another model like the Macbook Pro I already have:

* A decent keyboard that will last 6 years like this one

* Magsafe

I use this machine to make my living as a software engineer. These things matter a great deal to me.

And Apple, please please please don't make it thinner - I really don't care about thinness like you think I do!

I have some faint kind of an impression that I've once played (?) some game (?), where if your character died, it woke up in some kind of "netherworld", and there was also something to do there. (I seem to recall being hugely surprised and impressed by this course of events.) Does this trigger some more concrete memories about particular name of a game to anyone here?
