It's the cornerstone of law for a very good reason. As soon as you start making exceptions you have to have some agency who can decide who are the exceptions. You then have an agency that can summarily execute anyone they wish with no recourse. This is not a situation any sane person should desire.

Not at all naive. Asians used to face prejudice arguably as severe as that faced by blacks. Once discriminatory laws were lifted, they began a remarkable ascendancy--one that was in large part [1] due to the market re-pricing the value of Asian labor: " One explanation for rapid Asian upward mobility is, therefore, that earnings gaps driven by prejudice rather than productivity could not persist in a post-war labor market that eliminated most forms of legal discrimination against non-white workers"

Don't think technological terror isn't terrifying because in many ways it is the most terrifying of all. To live in fear day in and day out--fear of the goons breaking down your door. Fear of being dragged away in the night because you spoke out or complained or because a neighbor with a grudge turned you in to the secret police. Fear of not knowing what happened to people you care about and whether you are next. This all happened ten million times over.

Witness how many of your peers are taken in by leftist rhetoric and how easily people will give up their right to self preservation and self defense to the state.

Like build some fucking apartment buildings and run some trains to places where the jobs and housing are. It’s not that fucking complicated.

In many top universities in Canada, promotion to Full Professor doesn't confer any particular benefits. No salary raises (unless your Faculty are unionized, and you are below the mandated "floor" salary for Full Professor ... which is very unlikely, because it's so low, by design). Same workload. If anything it's worse because you might be asked to serve on more departmental and faculty committees.

It's much to early to understand any of the effects of the GDPR yet. We'll need to see some case history before we can even understand what companies will be penalized for, or how they can come into compliance.

It might not be necessary, or even compliant, to notify and gather consent for cookies via popup. This is just something that many web site operators are assuming will bring them into compliance, but there's no way to know that yet. Just like there's no way to know if you'll still be clicking through cookie prompts 5 years from now once we have a few GDPR test cases.

Let's wait and see how this all plays out.

Hey ! I live in Paris and I went to some presentations at The Family some years ago. I heard Sam Altman speaking there, thanks for organizing it.

Regarding the state of software startups in France, how could you compare it to the Silicon Valley? I guess the same phenomenon is happening in the USA.

Startups arent only about softwares, entrepreneurship already existed in other sectors. Correct me if I'm wrong, but The Family is exclusively about softwares.
He is talking about inflation as a way to resolve it, but my personal (and totally unscientific) pet theory is that inflation is already here. The prices are so high not because the real estate is expensive, but because the intrinsic value of money is declining. How come elevated inflation is not reflected in official stats? The problem with counting inflation is that it doesn't account for the loss of quality which is happening in all areas except high-technology products. E.g. while the price (in real money) for a burger in McDonalds can be more or less the same as in the 90s or 60s, the quality went down due to excessive use of herbicides and drugs in farming.

No wonder many people get debts because it's the right strategy when money are losing value. If the real inflation is say 5%, then getting a mortgage at 3.5% earns you 1.5% a year. No wonder stock indexes are record high nowadays -- it's not because businesses excel more than ever, it's because the dollar is worth less.

> If you wanted to implement, say, the Python class/'object' type in a thread-safe way that didn't rely on a GIL and still freed memory according to approximately the same GC promises as the Python interpreter, I suspect you'd end up implementing something GIL-like in Scheme or Lisp

Nope. CLOS+MOP, which exists natively in nearly all CL implementations, is a superset of Python's object/class functionality.

For me kubernetes is also a breeze. There is some learning curve because we started with Helm, Tiller, Grafana, Prometheus right from the start. But the kubectl command is easy to work with, and the k8s yaml files are really a breeze of fresh air compared to Ansible playbooks.

We're not on production yet, but moving soon.
From the wikipedia article about Ceres[1]:

> A proposal before the International Astronomical Union for the definition of a planet would have defined a planet as "a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid-body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (b) is in orbit around a star, and is neither a star nor a satellite of a planet"[2].

From Israel?

Current x86 architectures only use 48 bits for addressing. That’s still enough to address ~280TB of RAM. I expect that to change before upgrading to 128-bit pointers.

> You're using "real software" to presumably denote some dichotomy of software that doesn't exist.

I think that what I meant was clear from context: software that has a long-term, significant impact.

> then you also need to consider the impact of improved tools on the costs of maintenance

Sure, but however much maintenance costs, it still needs to be done. It cannot be carried long by a novelty factor.

> New ideas should be born and die in accordance with the resources of folks willing to keep them alive. We don't need some grand notion of "responsibility" to control the ebb and flow of ideas.

I agree. Anyone should work on whatever they find interesting, and that (normally) doesn't make the choice irresponsible. But I still think that empirically new languages, on average, increasingly cost more and contribute less.
All those options are well camera'd and connected to real-time facial recognition for anti-terrorism.
Absolutely this. For all of the benefits that come along with globalization, there is very little talk about all of the risks that come along with it. And you can see this on many scales---when European nations "globalized" to include all of their neighbors, they exponentially increased the risk that they would undergo economic stress. They let go of their tight control over their own economy and their ability to quickly and sharply respond to problems.

I went to college for economics during the recovery from 2008, and one of my professors was a very well respected economist managing large funds. One conversation I had with her stuck with me. We had to read the Wall Street Journal for some assignments, and I asked her why it seemed that Quantitative Easing wasn't have anywhere near the result we expected it to have. She said she thought it was because everyone was doing it. I remember reading articles about concerns that Japan was also doing QE and that it might belittle the efforts of the Fed over here.

I think globalization is a huge step forward and really beneficial overall, but it's not a panacea and it does come with some drawbacks.
I think the technology descriptions have really dated. Exhibit A: Neuromancer. the Dornier-Fujitsu space yacht Haniwa, assembled in Orbit. "Case made out the familiar chatter of a printer turning out hard copy...Case snatched a length of twisted paper and glanced at it."
I'm not smart enough to have that kind of doubt: you really got me thinking! And you made me think of the wave/particle duality. Detection over this distance seems much more plausible with the light-as-waves model; the waves behaving like er... waves and our detection of them working more like radar/echo-location.

That's pretty simple. bin Laden's organization was a direct threat to the US. Pakistan was protecting him. The primary responsibility of the US President is not to respect the sovereignty of Pakistan, it is to ensure the security of the United States and its people. For the US President, respecting Pakistan's sovereignty sits below ensuring the security of the people of the US in their job description.

Besides that, international legality is defined solely by the countries with the biggest sticks. That will always be true, without exception. The UN and all global bodies of justice and rule setting derive their authority and possess capability solely at the permission of the most powerful nations.

The world isn't run by the UN, international legality isn't defined by 195 nations, it's all run by six or seven countries (which control the majority of all economic activity and by far have the most powerful militaries). The UN is a lever for those powerful nations to keep order in dealing with all the others. It's a means to herd cats.

There's a quote by a rather vile heiress named Leona Helmsley, paraphrasing: taxes are for the little people. Respecting sovereignty is only a fixed rule for the little countries. Why? Because of how consequences work and who can dish them out. I'm not advocating that, mind you, I'm saying that's actually how the world works and always will. You see it with every empire that has ever existed, you see it with the US, Russia, China, etc.
This Single SQL Query Solved My Sudoku In Seconds

1. While of course the main reason would be to get a "paid peering", the DTAG network is also very good to reach other destinations, so technically it makes it transit.

2.1. DTAG has a market share of around 40% in Germany. Without a direct connection to them you won't reach them properly. The connection trough other Tier 1 providers is is awful congested.

2.2. I don't want to sound offensive, but it doesn't really matter what you are doing. You are the exception, most people and your customers don't care about their business tactics, often times it's their only choice to go with DTAG.

Of course the traffic pricing would increase, this is why I called it absurd to wave the traffic pricing, because Hetzner is offering a crippled line to 40% of Germany.
I've worked a lot with ASTs in the past, and am now working with TypeScript quite a bit. I actually find their AST implementation very nice, and pretty easy to get started on:

import * as ts from 'typescript'

const sourceFile = ts.createSourceFile('myclass.ts', `class MyClass { ... }`, ScriptTarget.Latest);
ts.forEachChild(sourceFile, (node) => {
switch (node.kind) {
...
}
});

It doesn't get much easier than that in my book. The AST is also fully typed and TS comes with a lot of helper methods, including the transformers package to hook into TS' output pipeline. It's pretty neat.
There is also the aspect that apparently there are plenty of people who are completely happy with exchanging data for free services.

I understand the concern.

To play Devil's advocate, I would love to see real data on how much these older games get played.

The idea is that we buy a game and will continue to play it off and on for YEARS. But is that reality? Or do we finish a game or get tired of a game and then move on to a newer title and never return to those older games we thought we'd continue playing in the future?

I have MANY PS3/PS4 games I thought I would pick up again eventually. My PS3 has now been donated to goodwill after years of being disconnected and gathering dust in my media room.

And on my PS4, the disc games I can't even find. Most titles are digital buys and I've actually deleted from from the console since I'm not playing them. I find myself moving from new game to new game every 6 months or so. A few multi-player games I'll stick with periodically while it's active, but once the sequel is released I'll move on too.
Other people have pointed out how much memory 64bits provides, but the real problem is when we go from 48bits to 64bits. 48bits provides 256TB of address space. Right now amd64 only uses the bottom 48bits for pointers and some systems take advantage of this for things like NANboxing. I don't really know the numbers, but losing the ability to NANbox will probably come with a performance hit.
A good object lesson in what happens if you unionize.

I am setting up a swarm deployment of one of my apps as an experiment and I must say the learning curve is hardly there. I tried kubernetes, but I found that most resources that try to explain how it works are focussing too much on github-size deployments.
