Breaking up a monopoly via government pressure is completely separate from browser and internet privacy, and hurting potential competition only helps the monopoly. Google and Facebook wouldn't use the Advertising ID because they already have 1st party cookies so they know who you are.

The User Agent is just software that happens to be called that, it's not a moral statement, and this feature would help solve many issues on both sides. DNT is actually respected by far more than you may think, but the lack of an ID to go along with it is the problem. Having an easy ID system would let ad networks use native APIs, reduce network calls, and build up profiles that only last as long as a user is willing to keep the same ID. Let people change it per hour if they want, it maintains privacy will keeping a browsing session relevant and not overloaded with the same ad shown 20 times.

You know what's actually naive? It's refusing to listen to the industry that moves 100s of billions in ad spend every year and is full of smart people trying to have rational discussions instead of constantly fighting emotional tirades that put everyone in this mess in the first place.

I owned one too. Great phone when it comes to design and feel. The outside screen was great!

Downsides:
- very bad dictionary, writing amaras horrible (comparing to Nokia for example)
- software was also a bit clunky
- I tried to write some app for it but hit the wall of not having some expensive license
I had a similar situation recently with the mini USB port broken for anything but charging. I recall trying bluetooth and running into trouble, but then succeeding using a data-only SIM card (T-Mobile) and emailing the photos.
For example, if the Russian School of Math, or Kumon, wanted to adopt this calculator and software (commercial use, tutoring center), they'd be breaking the license.

This license is a non-starter...

Personally I feel like clamshell design would make lots of sense for these more advanced calculators. At the same footprint you could have lot bigger screen, and more/bigger buttons. As an added bonus the screen would be more readable when sitting on a desk. I wouldn't think the marginally added thikness would impact much something thats being carried around in backbacks most of time anyways.

For some reason practically no calculators seem to have used clamshell design. Does anyone know why?

Closest example I know of would be HP 200LX, but it is a full-blown computer so it doesn't fit the requirements for education market. Looking at this side by side picture with a graphing calculator, it is not difficult to imagine the calculator keys being transplanted to 200LX to make a nifty new device.

as long as they are only allowed to use this data to secure flights, and nothing else (including selling it).

Laws against tracking and selling of private data needs to step up in the USA (i would imagine this falls under GDPR, and you'd have to give consent in europe for this to happen).
Or better yet, bring back apprenticeship and give them something to do other than worthless high school. I almost didn't get my first programming job because I had to be paid under the table at 17 due to child labor laws.

If you want to enrich teenagers' lives, offering them something other than a prison sentence where kids ruthlessly torment each other seems a decent way. It worked for most of history.

There used to be. It was called "verbatim" search. I can't seem to find it anymore.

Quoting the exact phrase gets you a similar result, though.
I think his point was that apple would invariably end up serving a niche audience. Referring to two other examples of niche programming only reinforces that assertion.

Sure you could fill a whole service with programs for a wide variety of niche audiences, but I don’t think it would be very profitable as none of the individual shows will ever attract the kind of audience a show that is not constrained by these kinds of broad-stroke programming choices could attract.
Very cool! I recently worked on a similar project (which is not quite ready to launch), and also had a lot of trouble with the interface. It seems like your Gameboy emulator runs way too fast on my machine; is the framerate not actually locked to the system clock?

I had JavaScript driving the UI interaction in my project, so to deal with locking, I let the browser control the framerate. Every requestAnimationFrame event, I compared the current time to the last frame I had drawn, and if it was time for the next, only then performed the logic to simulate the next frame. I still targeted 60 FPS, but this allowed the emulator to lag behind if the browser couldn't keep up, which seems to be a necessary compromise to maintain UI responsiveness.

You might give the requestAnimationFrame event model a try, and see if it helps with your keyboard issues. I remember having similar problems if I tried to let WASM drive the simulation directly, especially on weaker hardware.

Either way, that's nit picking all around. This is impressive stuff, and I hope you keep working on it!
You seem to be confusing /opt and /usr.

Like everything. These methods will work for a while until they won't. Employers aren't stupid. They will eventually catch on once enough people are doing it and then they will just be more aggressive in their the application process. Probably more on-site interviews. More computer based exams and so on that you can't cheat through.
In 2003, industry best selling and flagship Razr cost $500

In 2018, Apple's flagship iPhone cost ( starts ) $999.

I still don't know what to make of those "numbers". A lot fo jobs outside of Tech Sector had lower salary now in real terms than in 2003, and housing price are many times of those in 2003.

you're liable to scare away good talent that way

People, in general, like to talk about themselves, and engineers like to talk about their own code. "See this if statement, well there's a funny story behind that...".

A few years ago I interviewed a candidate who mentioned Github on her CV but no actual URL. What's your username on there, I asked, let's look at some of your code. She refused and said she didn't want me to look at it. Then why did you mention it on your CV I asked? Because she was told she had to, she said. All in all a weird experience, probably for both of us.

If you care about calculation/typing efficiency, you might also want to check out RPN (reverse polish notation).

I am recommending the HP 35s. Once you are used to the notation, it is a real pleasure, not only for old-school advocates like me. Added bonus: you will gain respect for stack-based languages like Forth, Factor etc.

Quite the opposite, the current firm I work at in Belgium (Barco) is able to attract quite a lot of engineers from other EU countries, who obviously don't come to Belgium for taxation benefits. I think higher salary is the single most important factor.
May we see some of your work to compare with?
Each to their own. An apprenticeship wouldn't work for something like the sciences where you need to understand the theory before you can work under someone more senior. But you're right, for vocational training where you learn by doing having the option of an apprenticeship may be far more fruitful than staying in school.

I believe Germany has this kind of system.
I usually try to imagine my computer/code as an extremely dumb superhero personal assistant.

If I want my coffee I have to spend quite a bit of time instructing said assistant to open doors along the way rather than just walk into them (thankfully there's an OpenDoorEx library for that!). I'll also have to carefully come up with an exhaustive list of interactions that my assistant might have with the barista (and agonize over the fact that I can never be sure that this external API is fully covered). And that's just some of it.

But when I've done all that work, my assistant can get my a coffee in seconds, because they're ridiculously fast, powerful, and precise. And over time the work I put in up-front will be paid off pretty quickly because it takes them seconds rather than an hour to get me my coffee, twice a day.

I suppose the fact that I sort of enjoy coming up with these ridiculously precise instructions is why I'm a programmer.

Of course in practice the OpenDoors library will break, or one of the doors on the way suddenly works differently. The new barista might have a speech impediment, or the items on the menu might change. Or my boss wants coffee too so now I have to teach my assistant to open doors with their elbows.

To normal people all of this is purely maddening, but for me it's 50% frustrating, and 50% an excuse to get to come up with new instructions!
His point clearly wasn't just "it's targeting niches" but "it's a niche like Hallmark". You however might have a point, but as long as it's sometime I'm into, great.

Typescript actually does have some forms of type dependency (eg. conditional types), but these things have been added in a sort of ad-hoc way, and it's unclear how sound they actually are, and they are quite limited. The book here uses a language, pie, that is designed in a much more principled way, with greater expressiveness. The book probably won't be directly applicable to TS work, but I'm sure you would benefit from getting a more rounded understanding of what is possible with type systems.
There are apprenticeships for programming and electrical engineering.
Rod Tucker originally modelled a wireless only NBN as having access to only 20MHz of spectrum and that this represented the sum total of what the nation's broadband demand would be funnelled through if a policy decision was made to use wireless in the last mile.

Do you regard Tucker's 20MHz premise as scientifically accurate or plausible given the NBN actually does have around 75MHZ of spectrum that it uses to serve just 3% of its base with wireless?

I take it you would endorse that as the counter-factual.

The fact is that there is scores of gigahertz available for the communications needs of end users.

The V-band alone (which is being used for last mile for various applications) has 35GHz of spectrum alone.

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

mmWave bands add another 14GHz of spectrum.

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

Four years ago I said there was 80Ghz available in service of the nation's communications needs. You interpreted that to mean the needs of a "government owned last mile fibre network".

The point I was making is that it is fraudulent to model the limitations of a technology (in this case, wireless) on the basis that any given network only has the use of a tiny fraction of what it could be using (and indeed does).

Sorry everyone for hijacking this thread but hopefully it means that the quoted points I made above re China and WCIT make more sense, because I actually do have more than half a clue.

We have this kind of system, and it works extremely well for most professions that don’t require a master’s degree, and where the field doesn’t change too quickly. It is a mix of school and apprenticeship. Great, for example, for becoming a nurse, less great for programming since the field moves so fast.

For higher education, we still have the old school university system. Students usually leave university with little industry experience beyond a few internships, but especially the technical universities put a lot of focus on preparing their students as well as possible for the real world.

All in all it works quite well.

What is the purpose of this comment?

Most people, at any income level, would not find value in this book. The fraction of people who find value in the book maybe correlated with income.

There are a large number of people who might benefit from access to this book (or similar books) would can not afford to legitimately purchase it.

Given that only a small fraction of the world population can afford this book (I estimated 5%, happy entertain other estimates) it seems likely that the majority of people that could benefit from access to this book, could not afford to buy it.

I find that unfortunate.
I do agree that in practice proper naming is often absent and too much frustration over this isn't helpful.

But that doesn't mean it's unimportant! I've found that when I struggle with properly naming things (outside of anonymous functions), it usually means I need to stop and properly think about what I'm doing. I've found this to be the case for both naming functions/methods and naming 'data' (which is why I've warmed a bit to the idea of explicit typing).
Note that many of those problems are being actively worked on in research, and progress is being made, albeit slowly. That said, we can still get some of the benefits of dependent types, even without all the problems being solved right now! Just gotta be aware that it's not all roses yet.

To add to your second point: some conditions, such as mental health illnesses, require personal contact. Also, many people need to feel reassured when they're sick. An algorithm is not going to provide that, no matter how you dress it up.
Switzerland is "kind of" a famous for his apprenticeship system. I myself went trough an apprenticeship, and that didn't prevented me to get a University Master's degree later on.

A random web search gave me this relatively recent article [1] presenting it. It says that 2/3 of students goes through apprenticeship:

«In Switzerland, two-thirds of students in the final stage of secondary education opt for vocational training, mostly in three or four year “dual” programmes combining classroom study with workplace training.»

Yes it is. Apple block stacks of content on iOS, and heavily restrict any mechanisms for people to access them otherwise.

Social networking sites for BDSM sexual minorities are banned from the app store. Sites like Comixology frequently delist books from their app because they're terrified of Apple's arbitrary and capricious censorship deleting them off the platform entirely, despite the fact they don't even accept payments via any Apple systems. They block sexual health education apps.

Apple is very interested in restricting people's access to sexual content and to sexual minorities that Tim Cook isn't a member of.

The RPAH clinic was life changing for several people I know. including me. I think food/additive intolerances are a vastly underrated problem.

Teenagers natural sleeping cycle is markedly later than any other age bracket. When I was one, I wasn't allowed to play any videogames past 20:30, and I would often spend the evening reading books by a nightlight. Everyday I cycled for almost 2 hours (at ~20-25 kmh), so I got some regular exercise each day too.

Nevertheless, I would still on occasion go to bed at 10:30 (had to get up at 6:30) and lie awake in bed till 01:00-02:00am.
When Apple prohibits distribution except via their stores that ceases to be a valid argument.
While it's hyperbole, I think the more charitable interpretation is that a lot of 'new stuff' is really just rediscovering 'old stuff', and this should be a impetus to study the old stuff to find some pearls.

Obviously there's plenty of new stuff that is properly new, especially in a field as young as CS. But there's also a ton of stuff that just keeps being rediscovered. Looking back instead of stumbling upon the same idea eventually can give a programmer a huge advantage.
