I generally like the idea— it's probably a sign of maturity.

I'd add that it would be nice to be able to operate outside of certain fields and certain types of operations without that level of certification.

For instance, freelance web devs, small business software employees, etc who aren't dealing in things like personal or trivial data could continue operation. For example: you don't need to be a doctor to be certified in first aid, or even administer first aid—but you likely wouldn't attempt an invasive, life-threatening surgery.

I'd also like to see—if that kind of regulation were to pass—the inclusion of some kind of grandfather clause that would include the ability to test without formal education.

The reason being there are very many highly capable developers/engineers in the field who don't possess the exact formal background—and in many cases came from other formal backgrounds.

I'd definitely hear arguments for not requiring education at any time, but to keep it on par with the other professions you listed I'll leave it as is.

This might not be the thread for a larger discussion on this—because it seems like it would be a larger discussion. An interesting one, though...

Implementation seems like it would be a challenge, but then again I don't know the stories behind who more modern professions like electricians were regulated. I imagine that field grew much more slowly.
Problem: Buying something with a credit card exposes the customer to unauthorized charges.

Weak political solution: Thou shalt not make unauthorized charges to other people's credit cards.

Technical solution: Replace the whole concept of credit card numbers with a secure payment authorization flow.

Credit cards: Meh. That sounds hard.

[20 years later...]

Credit cards: Check this out! We offer a secure payment authorization flow! And your credit card numbers still work like they always did!

[Someday...]

Stronger (but late) political solution: Thou shalt provide a secure payment authorization flow instead of credit card numbers.

When I write Python it’s exclusively without OOP. It’s totally possible to write Python in a solely functional manner. You make heavy use of NamedTuple, Enum, itertools, functools, and mypy annotations.

I can approach writing Python essentially the same way I’d write Haskell using the above strategy. I think it looks really nice.

I’ve turned a few people away from the dark path of OOP by writing in this style as well. They’re usually turned when they see how easy it is to test just regular functions with no need for magic mocks and the like.
There are now more completely obvious bugs in widely used software. It's like developers care less.

This is not as hard as you think, and your example in Chinese is not complete.

The example you gave is idiomatic Chinese:

> 昨晚我不去出 , 因为 我妈妈警告我街上有野猫 。

However, this is also idiomatic Chinese:

> 我妈妈警告我街上有野猫 , 所以 昨晚我不去出。

The order of two parts can be interchangeable depending on what you want to emphasize.

So I think any AI that is complex enough can handle this difference in ordering quite easily.

Also, if you see the gif before Demo I, it implies that the word "meet" is inferred before it actually appeared, which is exactly what you described.

>And yes the kinetic energy per se does not kill you. It's when the kinetic energy gets converted to elastic/inelastic transformation of your head that you die. There is a clear correlation of speed and survivability.

Kinetic energy does nothing. NOTHING!

It's all about acceleration (which is roughly interchangeable with force since the mass of the person is constant). The human body can deal with triple digit G forces for a short time (on the order of how long a car crash takes) so long as it's mostly in the forward direction and you have a good harness. They figured this out decades ago when designing escape systems for fighter jets (no point ejecting at Mach 1 if you're gonna get killed when you hit the outside air at that speed).

Of course speed kills when you're talking about hitting pedestrians. When you have several thousand pounds of mass vs a couple hundred the acceleration (and therefore force, because mass is fixes) on the few hundred will depend almost wholly on the speed of the several thousand pounds of mass. It still has exactly nothing to do with kinetic energy. For limited access highways, rural roads and other places pedestrians are not a meaningful concern this is irrelevant.

AMD vs. Intel and 7nm
This has been explored in linguistics. People do have an innate sense of grammar. However, language use changes over time, of course, and it's absurd to try to prevent that. Here's a good example -- as you said above, "People just know how to speak right." Of course, many English teachers would love to tell you that you're supposed to say "speak correctly" -- but why? It's a widely understood use of the word "right" and most people wouldn't think anything of it. Having standards about written language are necessary and helpful, but arbitrarily dictating the use of words based on their history is not necessary or helpful.

Visa processes transactions much faster, is accepted universally, has AML/fraud/chargeback insurance, and costs about 2.4% of transaction volume. This has none of those and transaction costs are TBD. I’m not trying to be a sceptic but I’m not yet convinced. “It’s decentralized” is not an argument unto itself and certainly not an argument of functional superiority. If anything it’s slower, harder to use, and more risky. I don’t care if my payment system is on Visa or AWS or a blockchain. I care that it’s fast and secure. I care that when a merchant defrauds me I get my money back.
Robotic Raven Gains Altitude
Hi. A lot of interesting and intelligent comments, but I think that on the whole, we've over-complicated the issue.

To explain what I mean, consider a Commodore 64, Apple IIe, or Atari 800, Ti99 4a, or Radio Shack Color Computer, or most home computers from the early 1980's.

None of these computers, NONE OF THEM, had any form of persistent memory (Flash, EEPROM, battery-backed CMOS, CPU persistent memory, etc.) such that when you unplugged the computer and plugged it back in, something, even so much as a single bit was changed.

In other words, you unplug, and you start over with the exact same initial STATE as you did the first day when you unpacked the box.

That is, software, legitimate or malware, CANNOT change the initial power-up state of the computer. CANNOT.

That is STATELESS HARDWARE.

Note that I did not include x86 PC's in my list, because they typically have battery backed up CMOS, and onboard FLASH in newer models. Those things (and places for writeable Firmware) STORE STATE, thus they change the INITIAL power-up state of the computer.

Once a computer can store state between power offs, then you could be dealing with a different machine than you were when it first came out of the box.

When that happens, now you need all kinds of crazy security asserts that whatever is in there is safe. As opposed to simply powering off, and starting fresh, knowing that you are.
For some people this is actually useful to have something intelligent figure out what might be useful/helpful. The downside however, is that there isn't an incentive for utility - just whatever is sold to the highest bidder. Recommendations aren't necessarily an evil thing even given context, but the issue is bias and creating the wrong incentives. I like that systems are intelligent enough to know whether product X is best matched up with products Y and Z based on my personal preference, but what I don't like is when that process becomes overly intrusive and recommends things not because of utility but because I've been "nudged" to buy something that some advertiser managed to bid for the widest reach.

Relying on not having to speak is extremely sub-optimal. I'm not sure how many situations you can get in that you have both the time required as well as the need to disguise yourself as someone of the opposite gender.

You could pretend to be mute, of course, but this can attract more attention in certain scenarios.
Back in the 90s there was the same discussion involving citing USENET news postings. I would suggest that some of the news postings were better peer reviewed than Journal articles. There was certainly a time when the top academics of certain fields were USENET junkies.

I suppose hacker news is the most recent equivalent.
I doubt you've been doing software for 30 years if you think software these days is buggy compared to software 20+ years ago. The amount of software these days is incredibly vast compared to back then, and the size of the software has increased, and the complexity has increased. Given all that, software these days is far less buggy.
> perl developers knew lisp and functional languages

It's a practical certainty that the vast majority do not, and its design (up to Perl 5, at least) smacks of total Lisp ignorance.

"Map" is used in mathematics as a kind of synonym for "function", especially from some arbitrary set to another one. If you assign the domain < 1, 2, 3, 4 > to the range < 3, 2, 4, 1 >, that's a map. We can draw it as two bubbles containing labeled dots, and draw arrows between the bubbles.

This sense of "map" is widely used in computing. For instance "keyboard scan codes get mapped to characters" or "a coordinate in the abstract canvas get mapped to the viewport, which is mapped to the screen" or "the temperature sensor is mapped to GPIO-s 13 to 17."

The "map" in Lisp's mapcar is exactly this sense. The map is the function that is being applied: mapcar is using the verb sense: take the car of every cell through the function: i.e. map each domain value to the range. This is called "projection" or "mapping"; "map" is just the verb describing what happens to each individual element.
"Anand basically argued that the global elite spends a lot of time looking for ways to help the global impoverished, but fails to make an impact because they never consider solutions that would erode their own wealth/status."

That explains why everybody is talking about philanthropy, LGBT, women's rights, diversity, racism and whatever instead of maybe paying their janitors and other low ranking staff a living wage.
That won't help even a little bit in this case. That's like trying place the responsibility to reduce the amount of garbage generated on those who drive the garbage trucks. The decision to engage in the bad behavior usually doesn't come from IT staff or engineers, it comes from management. Hold the leaders of these organizations responsible and you'll see the problem fixed real quick.
Now that I've looked for Apple's document on the matter I'm more confused. I'd need some examples of what it means by "one of its features".

"Allows access to Location Services only when the app or one of its features is visible on screen. If an app is set to While Using the App, you might see your status bar turn blue with a message that an app is actively using your location."

I've lived in Portland OR, Mid MO, and the Kansas City area. In mid-Missouri, the brown recluse is the standard house spider. Pretty much every spider in my house there was a brown recluse. I had a weird bruise-y/necrotic bite on my hip that I assumed came from one that got in bed with me. It healed up fine without any medical intervention even though it lingered for awhile. I suspect a lot of people get bitten over the span of their lives but the bites aren't really noticeable. Spiders get in your bed or get into your clothes sometimes. It takes a bit of work/luck to get a recluse bite. They're not aggressive and they're not looking for trouble.

The West Coast, in my experience, has very little on the Midwest when it comes to spiders and bugs. In Oregon I was blown away by the lack of bugs. I could leave my doors and windows open at night and nothing seemed to come in. Unreal! The only major thing Portland seemed to have on the middle states is slugs. Waking up in the morning to find slug trails in my kitchen and in the dog bowl was a weird experience. Live and learn!

Correct grammar is important in a discussion of grammar, is it not?

They don't "recognize" it any more than anyone else, in recognizing that people use it. It's still grammatically incorrect.

My "belief" isn't so much based on what I learned but on how the language has been used. I'm not a student of grammar, I'm a computer scientist.

Yes, there is no "central authority", but then you appeal to authority throughout the rest of your comment.

Stallman really does cover that well in his essay:
"Every language has grammar rules. They are in the minds of speakers of the language — including, for English, me. The fact that they weren't decided by an official edict doesn't mean these rules are a trivial matter; demanding people change their grammar rules is an affront. You might succeed in convincing me to change the English grammar rules in my mind, but don't you dare demand it".
Preventing a hypothetical post-apocalyptic society from becoming misogynistic
Two things that I always reach for Emacs to accomplish are git and file management, via Magit and Dired(X) respectively. Here's a quick cheat sheet of the things I use Dired for:

C-x C-j (jump to directory)

Open the current directory in Dired (requires that
you first (require 'dired-x)) from any buffer, even
other directories, but usually from within files.

C-x C-q (edit directory)

Start editing the current directory as a plain-text
buffer and commit changes with C-c C-c or discard
all changes with C-c C-k.

One thing you can do with this is quickly swap two
filenames. Dired will give one of them a temp name
which is super convenient.

Combined with multiple-cursors package, this also
lets you mass rename files in ways that would be
much harder in terminal.

d (delete)

Mark items in directory for deletion, (x) to commit.

m (mark)

Mark items in a directory for:

R - rename (or move)
C - copy

For a more thorough list, open a directory and type C-h m
Search for places requires knowing your current location to give you the most relevant results. Google would have the same information if you used Google Maps on iPhone.

The difference is that on Android, it is possible to set a default maps app that is entirely local, which means that Android wins on privacy for location tracking. (This is before even considering that AGPS location data collection is mandatory on iOS and merely opt in on Android.)
The "jammers" vibe resonates with me, but practically, they'd all need to be associated with a phone with the app installed.

By trying to impose such restriction on the use of 'they' as a singular (what about 'you' short for "you all" as plural?), you are creating conflict of your own rather than letting life go on.

Those who see the world in terms of good and evil tend to do more evil themselves. Take care that your perception of militancy does not similarly take over your own effect on the world.

Peace.

Publicly attacking the "data industrial complex" is in line with Apple's economical interests.

Publicly attacking the military industrial complex would be opposed to Apple's economical interests (because it might upset a segment of its customers).

It's difficult to judge the sincerity of moral outrage in an attack that aligns with your own economical interests. You may think of it as "empty posturing" but speaking out against a sociopolitical issue you're not directly part of can help bring about changes and can help shape cultural attitudes.

For example, coming out as gay in 2014 wasn't necessarily in Tim Cook's best economical or even personal interest (though those offended or upset by this are less likely to let that affect doing business with him because after all he's still the CEO of one of the largest corporations) but it may have played a small part in changing overall social attitudes (remember that the Supreme Court decision on equal marriage in 2015 only happened after most states had already passed equivalent legislation and public support had been fairly widespread).

You may not be able to change something by calling out. But you certainly don't change it by remaining silent about it and playing along with the status quo.
Yeah, it is kind of silly, but I think the message they might be trying to get across is that the game should be recognized as a little more venerable now, that people still compete at it, and that future generations are playing it.

(Certainly people know about Chess, Go, Golf and Football — but depending on your definition, this could be considered a digital sport.)
