> if dongles are required for everything from iPhones

I never understood this complaint. AFAIK, I've never seen a macbook with a lightning port or the older 13-pin iphone port. If someone had an iphone, they had a USB-A to lighnting cable. Now they need a USB-C to lightning cable. Then you can use the macbook to charge your phone, or the usb-c charger that charges your laptop to charge your phone. Or yes, you can get a usb-c to usb-a dongle - but you can just as easily get the appropriate cable. I'm also seeing that Apple is going to start producing usb-c chargers for iphones and ipads (with a usb-c to lightning cable) in the near future.

I'm a macbook + android user, so I've had USB-C phones for a while, so now I can use the same cable and charger for my laptop or my phone.

On the contrary, finding edible food is certainly important, but avoiding poisonous/diseased food is even more important.
Oh, I'd say the calculus here is trivial to comprehend.

Apple's external keyboards are high-priced accessories, and are trivially attached to laptops. As with dongles, this is one more nickel to nickel-and-dime you with.

If, perhaps, your idea is to resell your laptop, well then you should buy a keyboard, because gee, that will help keep it in good condition. Meanwhile, Apple doesn't really care about the resale value of your device, and would prefer that it have none.

Proof of that can be noticed, if you took a minute to consider that the battery is epoxied to the unibody shell. RAM and SSD sticks are soldered to the motherboard, and of course, dongles for everything.

The battery, though is the worst of it. That chemical expiration date is inexorable, and well, there's no better way to ensure that you keep buying Apple products from Apple, brand new. So, mean time between failure for these keyboards? Who cares? Won't you be buying according to their upgrade treadmill anyway?

How is it still such utter crap? It's been 6 years since the Settings app came out. The prior control panel basically was introduced in Windows 95/NT 4.0: http://toastytech.com/guis/win952.html. Six years before that is 1989, when Windows 2.1.1 came out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2.1x#/media/File:Windo.... The degree to which progress has slowed is remarkable. Especially for software that basically does the same thing the old version did (maybe even less work, given that devices today are more self-configuring).

> One thing I didn't see mentioned in this article is Firebase.

Can confirm, I'm also building my startup off of Firebase.

Super easy to get up and running with. I was talking to a friend at Amazon about how I create serverless HTTP entpoints and he was impressed that getting started with it was a 10 minute affair from "never done backend programming" to "REST endpoint setup." Another half an hour got me full end to end auth working from my app to my endpoints through to Firebase DB. FWIW I haven't investigated what it'd take to do the same within Amazon's eco-system, but from what I've gathered I'd have to understand a few more concepts than the simple "npm run deploy" that is the heart of Firebase's serverless offering.

Firebase's serverless stuff is dead simple. Wish the emulator was better though, I can'd do encrypted endpoints on localhost, which means 90% of my API can't be tested locally. Having to deploy to the actual service seriously adds to my code-deploy-debug loop!
thing is, books end. For a long time, most games end. But now there are lots of games that are reptitive play games. They don't end. Books also don't tend to have the same andrenilin rush, there are no time contraints, no other people. I think books are very different and don't seem to lead to the same level of problems as gaming does.

> There's a reason I picked numpy/scipy as examples. Among popular Python packages, they're among the genuinely hardest to build from source.

For context, I wrote my comment with awareness of the level of complexity that exists.

> Or, to put it another way, is it possible that people who leave drive-by "helpful" "suggestions" in comment threads about package repositories vastly underestimate what they're asking for, and often don't even really understand the problem domain?

You're right! It's absolutely possible that driveby snarky suggestions are not helpful in any way! It's also perhaps possible that there is a point to be made and perhaps a nasty-but-avoidable failure scenario.

There is, after all, a distinction to be made between problems that are complex and problems that are unsolvable. The general-purpose problem of building packages is, as you say, incredibly complex and difficult. It's worth considering that it might not be unsolvable. After all, every single package in PyPI got built somehow.

Which is to say one doesn't set out to bolt a build system onto a package repo system. One bolts a repo system onto a build system, because then it's an (easier) versioning and binary blob distribution problem when you have a reliable chain of trust.

Anybody worried about this should probably just open a checking account specifically for uses like this. We tend to talk about "your checking" account, as though you can only have one and it's somehow your official account. But, despite these weird notions we seem to have about them, checking accounts are just like any other consumer product.

You can have as many as you want with as many banks as you want; they've very easy to open online.

Intel?

The company has massive problems now, but many of the larger scale pivots in its history were not the work of Moore or Noyce. Now, we can debate whether Andy Grove counts (and I tend to say no, because though not technically a founder, he was employee number 3 and there from the day the company was incorporated), but looking at someone like Paul Otellini, who most definitely helped turn the company around, I think that's a good example.

Otellini missed mobile, a massive, massive problem -- but I don't think there is any evidence to suggest that Grove would've necessarily done better. It's hard to say.

And if we want to go further back, I would argue that IBM was never led by its founders. Watson wasn't a founder; he came into what became IBM as a hired manager. One could argue his son was "more" of a founder because he grew up seeped into the culture of what IBM became and he definitely helped lead the company to greatness.

But subsequent CEOs like Frank Cary and Louis Gerstner really did the big turnarounds and pivots.
RACK: Automatic API Recommendation Using Crowdsourced Knowledge
Yea, I agree with that too, I can't say I fully like recommendation engines, as someone who has always veered on the side of 'independent artist' in terms of 'preference philosophy' I find them somewhat pointless, but whatever works.

I do like them when they actually yield a correct product that is coming from informed consumers. I waste less money that way as a consumer. I'm talking mainly about books and art supplies here, that's pretty much what I've used them for. Makeup too, but that one, lots of money wasted because the beauty industry is it's own insane beast of navigating trends.

I don't like them when they are manipulated by additional entities to dilute the quality of recommendation, and I think honestly this was the reason for their initial creation. But, open system, many recommendation engines work great so long as the consumer base follows the rules. The more lucrative it gets, the more layers of reasoning you need (to compete against bad actors diluting the data quality). The more layers, the greater the need for computational speed.

Worthy problem, worthless problem, I don't really know. I know the people working on this stuff aren't necessarily the ones inventing the problems. It's more that the original intent has been corrupted, and that makes some people unhappy. So, people work on fixing the problems.
Yes, I think the lack of demand is for non-exploitative roles.

Of course, as long as we have had enough understanding that we can affect others, there has been a demand for exploitation through bias.

I think the hope here is that we would create positions that allow BE to benefit others AND businesses by helping people make better decisions. It sounds a bit utopian, but it's certainly not impossible that everyone could benefit from people making decisions that are beneficial to their well-being.

Most (all?) open source licenses have a clause disclaiming any implied warranty or fitness for a purpose.

The example you cite of a doctor being required to provide emergency medical care I don’t think is quite accurate. In fact, doctors are often not covered by “Good Samaritan” laws and can be held liable if they do stop to help someone and something goes wrong. A layperson would not have that type of legal exposure. Medical treatment issues are complex and I can’t see how they are related to open source software.

What are you using for the terminal? I just started a new job with a Windows desktop provided and I can't get much done on it because every terminal emulator I can find sucks compared to iTerm 2 on my MBP, so much that I'm going in to IT to beg them to let me use it, or at least let me dual-boot Ubuntu. Bash on Windows has no way to add solarized light/dark or groovebox themes, much less switch between them daily like I like to do when I get stuck on something and need to see it differently. Also the Windows bash home is a no-mans-land once you want to open something up with Atom on Windows. Directories I make in Bash don't show up in File Explorer once I spend 5 minutes navigating to the right place. Font rasterizing and color-coding is awful too, on the native Bash, CMDR, and Hyper.JS. It's so frustrating.

The part you do in parallel is computing the function "If the DFA is in state x, and it sees the whole input string, where will it end up?" You can represent that function as a table, one entry for each state. Once you've got that table, just look in the entry for the start state.
I remember starting to study economics as a kid and thinking "this is garbage" for two main reasons, one of which is now addressed by behavioral economics, to wit: the models of human behavior they were using were ridiculous. The other reason is that economists occupy a critical nexus in the feedback loops in human affairs. The best operational economists accrue wealth and keep their science a secret as best they can, and as an obvious part of that exterior economics can be (and is) filled with fluff and nonsense. It is little better than numerology. It doesn't surprise me that Thaler "has been an irritant to mainstream economists." More like an embarrassment, pointing out their lack of grounding in reality.

> There's all kinds of reasons this is necessary and there's all kinds of reasons why provising a new hardware server, blasting a Linux distro on to it, and just running your server is a bad idea. By no means am I proposing we need to go back to some glorious past, where losing a single hard drive sector means "oh well, guess the database is gone! recovery plan? Our recovery plan is to not need the database anymore!" I'm just saying, it's crazy to think this is all getting simpler. Try looking at this through the eyes of a fresh grad sometime.

Those "all kinds of reasons" aren't necessarily valid, though, because it's not actually possible to go back to that caricature of the past that you describe.

The reason it's not possible is that some things actually have gotten simpler, at least from a user's perspective.

Automatic bad-block relocation has been standard for effectively forever. Even line-speed hardware RAID has been affordable for so long that it's not even a question. Hardware, in general, is routinely villified as being a nightmare, when the reality is that it's boringly reliable and, more importantly, has predictable enough failure rates that there are simple, standard engineering solutions around the failures (often already baked in).

That "inflection point" may well just end up being peeling away all the abstraction layers to discover that simplicity underneath works just fine, since we don't live in the 20th century any more.
