The trade-off is that it takes less developer time to write code in the high level language and the savings there are enough to invest in more computing power.

Not if your application is being used by many users; optimising exclusively for development time is only for rarely-used/one-off things or if you don't value your user's time --- some of whom may be themselves developers. The more users you have, the more it matters.

We've somehow gotten ourselves into a situation where relatively few developers are making countless more users waste time and hardware resources for their own selfish benefit, and I think that's a very bad thing.

Job interviews on the other hand....
From Willy Wimmer interview in 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faL4zRUdQTA, segment from 1:03:28, very loose translation):

---

Ken: Mr. Wimmer, can you imagine headlines "Vladimir Putin has listened to cellphone of the German chancellor for ten years"?

Wimmer: That would lead to revolutionary situation in Germany.

Ken: And if they would say "China runs a flat spy operation in Germany"?

Wimmer: They are accused of that anyway.

Ken: But why nothing happened after NSA affair? At first they said "we don't do such thing", then "we do it a will do it further".

Wimmer: That's a question of national dignity.

Ken: Do we still have it?

Wimmer: You already answered that.

Ken: Did I?

Wimmer: By asking the question. If it happened anywhere else, we would definitely cut the contact. But the reality is, as you just described. Business as usual.

---

Based on information from interviews like this, I think that nothing has happened, and no action was taken. US (correctly) assessed, that Germany can do nothing, and did what they wanted/needed/whatever. Germany can't do anything from it's position of weakness.

If Germany wants to change that, the steps necessary do not take into account the past, current or future US administration. Only German interests.
>To be honest my preferred solution is to minimise the ties between money and politics in general - the state shouldn't be given free reign to dick around in the economy, but only regulate and redistribute when it can be shown that a specific industry is broken in a specific way (negative externalities, natural monopolies, etc). I don't have a solution to this problem, but I think it would work better than what we have right now. When the state can basically do what it pleases there's a lot more room for backroom deals and loopholes.

That is still politics deciding how ressources are allocated. Your solution is to give over the power over ressources to private individuals, instead of controlling them democratically. I think this process gives too much power to a few individuals.
Assuming all that is true, in that case you must be aware that the unusual requirements you're placing makes this completely impossible. I just don't understand how you can claim to understand how terminals work yet still expect the kind of behaviour you're expecting and making the kind of comments you've been making.

Honestly, just stick this stuff behind a terminal multiplexer and move on with your life. You're trying to over-engineer a solution to a problem you're inventing.

I think it's slightly more subtle than that ... he's playing to a feeling amongst certain demographics that their share of America's political, cultural and economic "birthright" has been stolen from them by "globalists" and their foreign allies, and that this need to be pushed back against to return the US to some (apocryphal and mythical) golden age.

He's not trying to negotiate as an equal but assert his dominance. He's turning over the tables of the moneychangers and running at the world with a sourge... or at least in his head and the hearts of some of his supporters, he is.
Almost. The dealer websites are templated CMS's which allow dealerships to add and manage stock whilst seeing the current price around the local area for the specific vehicle that is being listed (based on condition etc).
These sites and the stock are then entered into the main database which is indexed and presented to users via the search.
This has changed and improved since.

I worked as a cashier at a riverboat casino in the midwest. Some nights I would be in the little cage in the high limit slot area. About once a month a specific woman would come in and take a whole row of the $10 and $25 slots (around 10 machines) and just walk up and down the row putting coins in the machine, hitting the button, and moving on to the next machine without even waiting to see if she won.
> I can only avoid this fate by saving full terminal state whenever I save the emulator state, and of course restoring it at the same time too. There is no reasonable way to extract terminal state from a separate terminal program. (attacking it with ptrace is not reasonable) I thus conclude that the terminal must be built into the emulator.

It's called a "terminal multiplexer" and that is exactly what I suggested with the tmux solution right from the bloody start. I've lost track of how many times I've said this needed to be solved on the server yet you repeatedly pushed back on both points when they were made, insisting it was a terminal emulator issue on the client side.

Problem with the EU/Europe it is still the old companies from more than 100 years ago that is dominating the economy and they influence the legislative process, education systems & job markets etc.

This is at least true for Sweden. Take a look on the OMX Stockholm 30 index, consists of the 30 most-traded stock on the Stockholm stock exchange.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMX_Stockholm_30

If you trace the origins of these companies the youngest was created in the 80-thies for Comviq that later became Tele2 (created in 1997)

Basically all of the others are from the 50-ies or before, many founded in 19th century.

Yes, this is still more QE fallout, just without anybody directly explaining it. I guess that's the trick? If you disagreed with the other economist when he pointed out something was whack, later on you can always "admit" you were wrong without really admitting it by describing the same thing using different phrasing.

Everybody wins -- except for the general public, however. To them it's just "blah blah blah $INSERT_POLITICAL_SPIN_HERE"
> Anyone living on $34K in NYC has the option of living like a peasant in China, India, or even poorer countries. If you don't want to emigrate, you can do Peace Corps or other volunteer work and have all your expenses paid for, as well as still knowing that your American citizenship and all your assets will still be here when you get back. Relatively few people take advantage of this option. A very, very large number of people living in those countries are willing to risk everything for a shot at immigrating to the U.S. and living on a lot less than $34K in NYC.

Using an entire paragraph to simply restate the old saying "If you don't like the US of A, you can just get the hell out" doesn't make the argument any more compelling than it is as a simple sentence.

Some of us would prefer to rather than point at the worst nations and say "Welp, guess we should stop asking questions because at least we don't have it that bad." that we should look at places who appear as if they may be doing better and ask "What are they doing differently from us? And can we emulate any of their policies to improve our own society?"

Looking for new information in order to possibly optimize systems is logical from my perspective.

But if you believe people should not be allowed to ask these questions unless they're first willing to "get the hell out" I suppose that is your prerogative.

If they are a purely academic project then why compare yourself to a commercial alternative? Those are two different worlds. I seem to recall that they specifically mentioned somewhere that it's not just for academic interest, otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered to ask for benchmarks. And who says that I won't use it? I like experimental stuff, I'd totally use it if they show some fancy performance numbers and maybe implement a document store on top of the key value abstraction. And why would I dislike coordination-free stuff?

The article could be clearer, but 26% might be out of all age groups. 44% is only the people in the 18-29 age range.

I think it is a matter of saving resources on language design until it matters, not always a good decision.

Take Java for example.

When it came into scene we had Oberon and its variants, Ada, Modula-3 and Eiffel.

All supported JIT/AOT compilation, value types, and with exception of Oberon, generics.

Most of the last changes at the JVM level, and the upcoming ones on Java's roadmap are basically catching up with what was already possible in the mid-90's.

So how much money could Sun, Oracle and IBM have saved if those features were there from the beginning?

We will never know, but we will know how much the bill is going to be, given that it is 10+ year process currently.

All because the current hardware changes make it impossible for Java to continue to ignore those features, if it is to stay relevant against other languages.

Same applies to other languages in different ways.

Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away for the victims.

The women whose boyfriends posted private sex pictures as revenge, or the minorities who will be the victims of hate groups organizing on social media, the children who were filmed while being raped and have their video circulating online, the victims of bullying whose bullies are empowered by other people seeing it and not doing anything to stop them...

You can choose to ignore this when you see it, but the victims can't, and it's for their freedom that I'm concerned for.

A lot has changed. People simply don’t see the US as a reliable ally anymore.

And this isn’t just the same as before. Past Presidents don’t claim that NATO partners owe the US money based on a misunderstanding of how NATO works (they have complained about NATO partners not pulling their weight which is why all of them have set concrete targets for increasing involvement which are set to take place over a few more years, for which of course Trump will try to take credit ignoring that these were negotiated by Bush/Obama).

They also didn’t pull out of treaties such as the Iran deal or the Paris climate accord the way Trump did, or constantly threaten countries about pulling out of treaties that the US pushed for and drive such as NAFTA or TPP.

They also didn’t try to wreck other countries’ economies based on the fact that they need to placate their base such as with NATO ally Turkey.

They also didn’t spread lies and misinformation about partner countries based on the latest Fox News conspiracy without first checking with the largest intelligence operations in the world which is available to them like he did with falsehood about London and the U.K. before visiting.

They also didn’t have allied intelligence agencies basically stop sharing sensitive information with their US intelligence counterparts because they leaked (inadvertently or deliberately) it to Putin.

There is a lot more than just “media hysterics” that make things different.

Oh, I think these things are important, but it's obvious that mine is not a majority opinion, otherwise pretty much all Python code would be running on PyPy, for example and there would be very little Rails in production.

So machines are fast enough that a lot of people are happy making that trade-off, and it's hard to argue that they're all wrong.

And of course they are also fast enough on single user machines (PCs, phones, tablets) that typical frameworks and 'best practices' often waste orders of magnitude of performance and developers don't even know or care to find out, and if they find out don't care enough to fix it.

More broadly, I would not want to be the over-40 guy trying to interview for any team where hardly anyone is even close to 30.

After staying at one company way too long and becoming an “expert beginner” in my mid 30s, I had to basically start over and work my way back up to an architect level position. By “Architect level” I mean either officially by title or by responsibility and respect over the last 10 years. I had no problem getting development jobs. The issue I found isn’t ageism with people over 40, it is that they haven’t kept their skills current, are stuck in thier ways, and/or don’t respect thier younger team leads.

I'm not affected by ageism myself (yet), but even if it was only in SV, which is the biggest tech hub in the US, then it would be a huge problem.
But ageism is rampant outside of SV as well.

Despite the common perception on HN, there are plenty of places outside of SV where a software developer can make a high enough salary to live an upper middle class lifestyle in a lower cost of living part of the country. $135K-160K goes a long way in most of the country and there are literally millions of jobs out there for software developers at profitable companies not looking to be part of the “bro culture”.
> It is a glass, made from a mixture of the fluorides of zirconium, barium, lanthanum, aluminium and sodium, that is therefore known as ZBLAN (sodium has the chemical symbol Na).

Would be neat if we could find a bunch of cases like this and give reason why we can expand into space manufacturing and a moon base. I doubt we will see this in our life times. I just can't see the financial benefit unless it is 100% automated.
As a shareholder: not too worried about this. Instagram and WhatsApp have plenty of room for growth that can compensate for FB users leaving. A few weeks ago, WhatsApp released its official API[0] and at least here in Europe i have seen many companies starting to utilize it. For example airlines, sending WhatsApp messages keeping you updated on the status of your flight, much more convenient than installing a extra app for every airline. Lot of potential there.

Tesla doesn't raise prices because it would harm already waning demand for their vehicles. The fact is, very few $60k+ sedans are sold around the globe, and it's a competitive space. At that price range, people have high expectations for luxury and build quality. The Model 3 gets points for being technologically advanced, but many buyers in this price range aren't interested in being beta-testers.

There could be a lot of story lines here. I go for web over apps as much as possible. Less resource hogging. More control over things like notifications.

I just don't have a burning need to check my FB notifications. But I'll still check FB a couple times a day. No need for the app, but I haven't deleted my FB account either.

I also prefer the stripped down web version which is "free" on mobile connections in places like the Philippines. No images, no video, just plain text in an ugly interface. Perfect.
No and no. I don't even know what times you think I'm conflating.

From memory, numbers like 16% come from population genetics around the time we invented farming -- we swung from relatively egalitarian hunter-gatherer societies to massively unequal concentrated power. Kings who could command the labour of thousands. There's a giant bottleneck there in how many men reproduced.

And we started on building organised societies, including organised religion, around then too. It seems clear to me that these are partly about finding ways to counteract such tendencies, ways to make people work together better. We needn't invoke virtue, merely that societies with less internal friction & more work from everyone were better at clobbering their neighbours.

Now I may be wrong about this story, surely there are other explanations. But it's not "WTF" material.
