> My best try at a data point is that Lisp was #4 on the TIOBE index back in the 1980s.

Unlikely, given that TIOBE the company wasn't founded until 2000, and the TIOBE index is based on web search engine results, and there weren't any web search engines, or a web for them to search, in the 1980s.
The Master Switch by Tim Wu. Absolutely phenomenal, and only more impressive because he covers > 100 years in communications tech in < 400 pages.
I've been learning a bunch about the early/mid bronze age recently, and my understanding is that they co-developed. In a lot of ways the temples were repositories of information infrastructure to handle large groups of people. Writing for instance developed in the temples in order to keep track of agricultural stockpiles and essentially to run their economies.
No, it'd only cost so much if the alternative did the same thing, and that would be a foolish thing to do. It costs a lot of money to restrict access to information: you have to print lots of paper, use digital rights management (DRM), have an army of people to negotiate and manage expensive contracts with libraries, and so on. You may want to write and maintain special search engines. You also have to employ an army of lawyers to sue anyone and everyone who has the temerity to share scientific research (even though the publisher didn't pay for the research to be done in the first place), as well as try to track down those evil people who dare share publicly-funded scientific work.

An open access journal doesn't have to do any of that. They have to have some editors do final editing (who get paid), a website where they post the article, and they'll probably pay a CDN (so the website doesn't even need to be very fast). If they're smart they'll create a static (generated) website, which is extraordinarily cheap to maintain today. They don't need to create paper copies - if someone wants a paper copy, that individual can print it. They don't need to worry about the massive overhead of digital rights management (DRM) systems, because they don't need them. They don't need to negotiate expensive contracts with libraries (they still have to negotiate small contracts for editing and such, but small dollar amounts are easier to manage). Normal search engines can use their data directly, so they don't need their own search engine. You don't need an army of lawyers to punish the sharing of scientific results that were paid for by society; you don't even need to track down those people who were sharing scientific results. An open access journal needs reviewers, but they are already volunteers, so that wouldn't change.

For-profit publishing requires a tremendous amount of overhead that provides no value to society. Publishers do it because they can do all that and still make a giant profit, and they can just pass all those costs on to society.
Good point. I found the paper on google https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/xlm-a0036577.pdf.

There are a lot of fantastic ideas (whether one agree or not with the author) in this book. 2 that come to my mind:

- we tend to think that our species was a result of evolution - a concept that's somehow nice and smooth. In reality, the author argues, at each step of the evolution, the 'better' species simply exterminated the previous one. Think about that ! We (or our ancestor) just exterminated those poor Neanderthals that we so fondly think of now

- when he describes a corporation and applicable law (I think it's about Peugeot) comparing the lawyers to shamans. It really makes you realizes how most things and laws of what govern our world are just pure invention and it's very similar to religion actually
I'm not sure that I buy your first paragraph. When our people are also at risk, there is more incentive to shoot first rather than risk being shot. When our people are not at risk, we can take the time to be sure, because our downside is smaller.

Most companies will replace a faulty device with a new one or fix it if it's broken due to manufacturing issues. Maybe the price should be increased a bit to allow for further testing.

If you have an issue the solution shouldn't be to throw it away and buy a new one, that's incredibly wasteful and it encourages bad behavior by the manufacturer.

The point, which also seems lost on another comment, is that with zero context you can't really make a full observation on the circumstances that lead to the insurance cost. Just because he doesn't pay a lot for insurance doesn't mean it's fake news that someone else does, I can think of many reasons why insurance for one person would be rock bottom and sky high for another on the the exact same car.

On the surface, Elm has fewer features than the other the languages mentioned in the OP's question, that turns out to be a really good thing.

Having more language features just leads to more ways of doing the same thing which is more to "reason about" maintain and train new people to understand.

If you are building a small web app that needs to be Embedded in an existing/other web page, use Elm the resulting app will be much smaller.

If you are building a larger app that requires lots of JS "interop", use Elm and listen to the Elm-Town Podcast on Ports.

We @dwyl have been using Elm for the past 2 years on project ranging from small Progressive Web Apps (which load much faster than their React/Angular/ReasonML equivalents) to full e-commerce websites built by teams of 30+ people.

Elm shines in all the situations we have used it.
In some situations where we have JS server-side code we have used PureScript which some people consider more "full featured", but all that really means is: "I don't know how to do this in a simpler way, so I need the "advanced" language features..."

If your use-case is a (Web App Mobile-focussed or Desktop) and you want to "move fast" (without breaking things!), you will not find a better launch-pad than Elm.

One of the problems with that model is it centralizes power in one organization which is subject to the whims of its members. I’d argue that that might guarantee less stability than the current system.

Perhaps a large endowment, like private universities, could work? Enough money to let them invest in a diversified portfolio and run their sites off of the profits.

The company without a mission
As per the last time this was posted, here are my thoughts on this article and its premise:

Firstly, I feel everyone gets something wrong about AI and jobs, and I believe that makes things a little less dire on that front than you may otherwise believe. Namely, people are not purely 'rational' economic actors, and don't purely make decisions on 'quality' or 'price'.

For instance, art and media isn't all about what's the 'best' work out there, but the one with name recognition, sentimental value, an existing fandom, etc. It doesn't matter if an AI can create 'art', because whether that art sells depends on more than technical competence. Will Mario or Star Wars or Lord of the Rings be threatened by AI and technology? Probably not, the name sells regardless of whether a competitor product/brand may be objectively better.

So I believe artistic and creative fields may be the thing remaining after AI takes most other jobs, since your creativity can make a market that competitors legally can't compete in. If all fails, a personal brand can do much the same way. Sell yourself, not the 'product'.

There's also the fact many 'worse' businesses still do well either through word of mouth, location, advertising, etc. Not everything will be a one horse race ala Uber or Airbnb, and whether AI/tech/whatever can outperform humans won't really matter than much regardless. In that sense, things aren't quite as dire as some people would have you believe.

Secondly, while technology and AI may help those in power consolidate it further, it also democraticises power too, by making the means of getting it available to more people than ever before.

For example, for as much as emotional manipulation and fake news is pointed out as an issue online, the internet has also made it easier to verify anything, to get around government censorship and to make your own mind up about current events and the situation at hand. If the old school media got things wrong (or were told to shut up by those in power), what could you do? How could you disprove their claims?

With great difficulty that's how. But now we've got a world when anyone can call out anyone, where finding alternative viewpoints on major topics is trivial and where doing research on advanced topics is easier than ever. Narratives have been destroyed, official statements disproved by average Joes taking photos and recording videos, and pseudoscience has been debunked. Is that really worse than a world where publishing information is tightly controlled and regulated?

Technology can be used for the purposes of tyranny, but it can also be used to fight against it just as well. And that'll only get more true when more aspects of everyday life involve computers and networking.

So while technology may 'favour' tyranny, in some ways it also favours democracy and a more equal society too.
Oh I can only agree ! Each year I'm eagerly waiting for it.

To complement, I would add two books from Buffett and Munger:

- "The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life" by Alice Schroeder

- "Poor Charlie's Almanack" by Charlie Munger - a fantastic read
Thanks. Looking into it
Absolutely agree. Both articles are a huge mistake for EU and will have incredibly negative impact on users and DSPs while favoring rights holders.

The status quo favors DSPs (and indirectly users) but damages rights holders. A solution is badly needed, however it should be one balancing needs of all 3 groups instead of favoring one (or two).

All these new affordable FPGA are getting really tempting to learn more about them. I've been debating for a while to get the TinyFPGA BX board from Sparkfun. Though I don't have a specific application yet. Are FPGA used in robotics often? Or is the response time so low (relatively) that it makes more sense to stick with a uC?

Side note, this might seem like stupid question, but can anyone explain what APIO[1] is (which TinyFPGA uses)? I'm kind of confused what it's used for.

Right, but since most knowledge bases (including Jargon File, Wikipedia and others) use "Hanlon" as the main title, it seems easier and more understandable to go with that. I should have included that in my comment though.

Since their introduction over 6 years ago, well over 200,000 Model S' have been sold, and Geico has insured quite a few of them.

This is pretty far from my field of expertise, so I can't make any kind of directed comment. I'll just say that it strikes me as unlikely that Geico either doesn't have enough data yet and/or doesn't know what it's doing.

Even aside from confusing the requirement for activated headlights with that for operable ones:

> Headlights are only required in dark and rain

...and in tunnels and in designated “daylight headlight areas” (often forested areas that are typically overshadowed); there are lots of places that cannot be accessed conveniently without crossing such a stretch.

> times when police aren't out trawling for violations to meet quota.

Even aside from th mistaken idea that times other than heightened enforcement (whether quota driven or otherwise) are safe from ticketing, there are lots of heightened enforcement times that can happen in dark and rain; and they are often times that people are likely to wait to to drive—particular holiday periods, for instance.

Thanks for your thought. I took your main question to be "why bother?"

I think a part of it is that I fundamentally believe in an extensible system. The world of software development is so diverse, and we have smart people everywhere. So I always felt that the best thing a geek like me can do to other geeks is to give them a shoulder to build on. I don't think that's a solved problem, and to me, that'll always be an important value of the Jenkins project, more so than any code.

I think a part of it is the responsibility to users. Jenkins is very widely used software, and it's an incredibly important part of the software development process for many. I appreciate that kind of trust, and I want to deliver better software for them. I think people in the community shares the same passion.

As CTO of CloudBees, serving our users and customers, and broadening the adoption base are an obviously important business goal. So the interests are aligned there as well.

And finally, I think this kind of "reinvention of the brand" happens all the time. Windows got reinvented from 95 to NT, Firefox got reinvented a few times. There are many other examples less famous but closer to my part of the universe, like Maven 2, GlassFish 3, ...

Price range is just a matter of being cheap and the utility I attach to a car (not status or fashion, but a tool that happens to have the steepest depreciation curve of just about anything in the universe).

I solved a similar problem in my to-do app by just having a journal of diffs per each device. To "sync" you just upload your device's journal to a shared file store (say, Dropbox) and then download all the other devices' journals. You merge all the diffs to get the "latest" state of the database. Conflict resolution is last write wins, but at the individual property level (two devices can update a to-do task and update different properties).

This actually works perfectly fine for my needs because a single user is not likely to be modifying two tasks across two devices at the same time. It may actually work for this project as well (since it's single user). You can check out the code here: https://github.com/allenu/slouchdb
