sorry didn't answer earlier, on vacation - but I don't think there is a provision that allows a company to sell access to profiles that end up micro targeting 1 individual or maybe a provision saying no sell of advertising can be written to target less than 100 people, only people employed by one employer, or in one location - location described as (some description that keeps you from targeting everyone in a particular building.)
I know back in the day, the use of Engineer verses Developer was about 10% pay...

To me:
Programmer - works on a team, is handed assignments
Developer - might lead a team, but is resposible for the entire developement of a solution. On really large project will be focused on one aspect (DB, web, etc)
Engineer - Coordinates multiple parts, ensure all phases of the SDLC are completed. Of involved with PM. Has an engineering notebook.

Hm, you might be right, but I think that people who have access to someone to guide them are in a different position than folks trying to make sense of it on their own. The subset of terminal commands needed for interacting with NPM is minimal, but I'd bet it would be a lot more daunting for someone trying to make sense of the universe of meta-react-stuff and unsure what stuff's important and what stuff isn't.

When I was 12 I decided I wanted to learn how to program, and I failed miserably because I didn't know where to start and very much picked the wrong place (I bought a massive reference manual for C from a bookstore). So I'm particularly sensitive to the fact that people have finite motivation and patience, and are sometimes trying to figure this out haphazardly (and so a friendly UI actually is important, because it'll stand out as something familiar in a sea of black terminal screenshots). The idealistic future I imagine is that Guppy provides built-in support for a bunch of common tasks (I definitely don't want it to include a whole Git client, for example, but maybe a limited subset would be helpful), and direction for the stuff it doesn't bundle (like choosing an IDE, debugging, whatever).

The larger philosophy is that tools designed for professionals will always be more complex than they need to be for beginners, and there should be a stepping stone.

But yeah, I am receptive to the idea that maybe this is the wrong approach. Maybe Codesandbox and online IDEs make more sense?

I disagree with this.

There was talk on ha hackaday the other day about converting a windshield-wiper motor to a servo with additional components, and another user commented that the newer wiper motors are servos that have a built-in CAN bus and no mechanical linkages.

And more expensive.

It still just wipes the windows.

Two favorites:

1. Google Keep: For light weight temporary note taking - grocery items, during travel - hotel addresses, rental details etc.
Where lighting quick sync is needed between web and mobile interface, for transferring data between my laptop and mobile.

2. Microsoft OneNote: For heavy duty archival note taking, where font formatting, picture and document embedding is a necessity.
Which should be also available on mobile, but quick sync is not necessary.
What is reasoning, really?

Does the internal operations of "artificial" systems necessarily differ the (automatic) processes of our own mind?

And how do we know that we're _really_ reasoning?

I don't suffer under some illusion that current machine learning algorithms have reached AGI, consciousness or sentience – but we need to define these terms before arguing about them.

It seems to me that there's a general problem of definition when people talk about what systems can and can't do - and I think it all might just be a convoluted form of an "Appeal to nature" [0] in the case of these endless, unoriginal criticisms of current AI-efforts.

I take issue with issue number being "important". Each NYT still has a much more useful unique identifier, which is the day it was published.

The issue number is probably entirely useless, but the reason to keep it around are historical. It's a neat thing that they've labeled all their issues like this, right from the start, and that they've kept up the tradition. Like quote from the linked article:

> ''There is something that appeals to me about the way the issue number marks the passage of time across decades and centuries,'' said a memo from Mr. Donovan, who is 24. ''It has been steadily climbing for longer than anyone who has ever glanced at it has been alive. The 19th-century newsboy hawking papers in a snowy Union Square is in some minute way bound by the issue number to the Seattle advertising executive reading the paper with her feet propped up on the desk.''

He's not wrong!

Not everything has to have absolute utility. Not everything has to be perfectly calibrated for storing in a database. Some things we keep around because of tradition, or because we're romantic creatures who sometimes appreciate things which have little practical use.
I'm not aware of any language that can go up against Haskell in the bleeding edge category. I'm sure there are plenty of features such as mutable state in functions that were intentionally left out. I thought Idris was supposed to be Haskell on JVM? Let me know which features it is lacking from the other two. I'm not familiar with SML. Overall I guess it doesn't really matter.

> Maybe the best idea is to simply donate money to people, instead of NGOs.

So that would be like a Basic Universal Income?

I can only imagine why people give money to big NGOs, I think they want to donate money towards an ideal, for example "eradicate hunger", in a best effort way.

If the money were donated directly to people, the effort would be diluted, even though it would maybe better help people.

For an NGO such as The Wikipedia Foundation, to whom would you give money? Wikipedia readers?

Are you suggesting we remove all the NGOs, create a worldwide found instead, and redistribute equally the donations to everyone on Earth?

Fine Q&A with Elon Musk at Bloomberg
Readers Respond to the March 2018 Issue
Not only tech support but also sales.

When I attend trade shows, I often have potential customers come and ask if we sell a particular type of technology. I’ve discovered that really what they are doing is asking if we sell the think they they _think_ is the solution to what they _think_ is the problem. It’s my job to figure out what their problem _actually_ is and then figure out if we have something that can solve _that_ problem.

One has to be quite diplomatic in these situations. They certainly know more about their domain, but I know more about technologies to solve their problem. So I need to pry out more information without sounding like I think I know more about their job than they do.

I like that part of the job.

My reason for keeping a knowledge base is to forget less of what I learn every day.

I used to use Evernote for this but it wasn't quite working because of constant context switching and lack of spaced repetition.

So I wrote open source program called Dnote [0] and have been use it every day for the last year to store my learning. To minimize distraction, it works as browser extensions, cli, and IDE plugin. And I automated the spaced repetition by writing a cron job to send me digests every Friday.

When will there be cheap permanent mass storages for archiving?
As people are producing more and more data every day (pictures, videos in better and better quality), there must be a high demand for very large permanent storages. In my impression, the only way for mass storage is to buy expensive HDDs. While in the 90ies there were CDs, that could serve the market, there does not seem to be an equivalent to please today's demands. There seems to be development in optical disk storages, but with at most 500GB (experimental) they are far below actual needs. Already 20 years ago the company Creo produced optical tapes that were able to store 1TB of data. What happened? What are the (technical and maybe commercial?) problems in building cheap mass storages for commercial use?

Why is it dangerous? You explain nothing.
As I said complex behaviour would benefit from computing. I don't see car wipers having complex behaviour that they would need computing to implement it. Also the complexity of the behaviour is a spectrum and not just a on or off thing. You need to consider all the various properties to figure out the best balance in the solution you come up with. On the industry side of things, companies will fit everything with computer and sell it at higher cost coz thats what their goal is i.e to make more and more money, they don't care about the best solution, all they care about is how they can sell expensive solutions and use proper advertisement to portray their solution as the best one (even though it is not).
Google Maps is also easy to download for offline use, you just have to plan ahead. If you're residing in EU, your data plan is valid everywhere within the EU. Here Maps or HereWeGo or whatever it is called is full with tracking software [1], just like Google Maps (actually more trackers than Google Maps [2] and Google Maps Go [3]; with Google apps you know it is just Google who tracks you plus whoever has authority over them (governments)). It is also proprietary, just like Google Maps. All of that in contrast to OSM.

It's odd because there seem to be two conflicting trends. On the one hand, you have people embracing (say) javascript as a server platform because it's easy to get something done, and simultaneously have people designing for outlandish scale.

In general, the 'get it done' mentality is the one that makes economic sense, because once you've added together the pile of software that doesn't need to scale to the other piles where this long-view doesn't matter, you have almost everything built. The other piles, for the record, include software:

- that is designed wrong so it needs to be re-written

- is obsoleted by changes in business direction (a project canceled, for example)

- gets replaced by something off-the-shelf or open-source

- is built for a startup that won't survive, or that gets aqui-hired, or that pivots to a wildly different thing

On the other hand, I sometimes see the opposite thing in heavily analytical work, where data science work is done in Python because its "easy", and then a team of engineers builds a crazily complex pipeline to make the python perform in some reasonable time frame. (Hi, Spark!). In my workplace, one example allocates bits of a job to roughly 100 machines, moving data to each, in a cloud environment where the data movement overhead is constantly fighting the benefits of distribution.
I saw one recently where each of the pins had tiny wire at the top...

It didn't really affect the game, you could see or notice them.
But when setting the pins, it just pulled the wires, and gently relaxed the wires till the pin was standing on it's own.

Sometimes simple does the trick :)

There is a separate guide for existing users and it states:

So you can choose not to add a billing account if you are an existing user, but then maps won't work beyond the $200 credit/month.

If a site takes to something I perceive as "shaming" or pestering, its more of an incentive to leave the site - not to disable the ad/tracking blocker.

I don't disagree that content providers need ways to monetize, and that hosting and bandwidth expenses become problematic them costs exceed revenue, but its interesting that this particular business segment seems to use techniques that most other online businesses would consider toxic to _conversions_.

After all, in a time where the end user has some level of control over how their eyeballs can be monitored (however limited), any shaming of potential revenue sources seems counterintuitive.
I have always wondered about the use of the 32 bit address space version (on an otherwise 64 bit CPU) of Linux and associated tool chain. Address space gets severely limited making threads hard but that specific problem we know how to solve. It would be a problem if your app really needs a lot of physical memory though. So its a trade off.

Both observations have equal validity for middle-/upper-class denizens whom can spend money on increasing entropy much faster. Go to anywhere remote and/or poor, and the better-to-do outsiders will be gobsmacked by inventiveness that, to the local, will seem mundane and vital. For example, one of my great-grandfathers made a continously self-cleaning oil-filter for farm equipment... the sort of thing corporations clearly wouldn’t offer for monetized consumables reasons.

The ability to come up with new syntax in LISP is in my opinion vastly overrated.

Yes, LISP code can be easily parsed for as long as you stick to lists. However the ability to do anything complicated with LISP code is simply not there because LISP code loses type info, which is extremely important for anything you’d want to do with code, like all kinds of non-superficial transformations and refactorings.

So here are some facts given as examples:

(1) LISP code does not make the job of IDE authors easier; just ask the authors themselves

(2) in terms of macros, anything more complicated than lazy evaluation of thunks and kiddie examples is out of reach; for example .NET’s LINQ cannot be expressed in LISP, not unless you add a static type system, but at that point you’re no longer talking about LISP ;-)

In my opinion LISP has been vastly romanticized, yet it doesn’t live up to expectations. It falls short in every department, from functional programming, to available tooling, to the great enlightenment people are supposed to experience once they learn it.

Whereas Haskell really does live up to expectations, being one of those very few ecosystems that does make developers better, at this point being the lingua franca of FP.
