This smacks of "security through obscurity" to me. Windows has been thoroughly reverse-engineered by black-, gray- and white-hats: is there a single windows .dll, .sys or other component whose purpose is remains a mystery or cannot be subverted by a person with physical access?
There is not a gap. It is all just speech. When there are limits placed, then someone has to decide where they are, and therin lies the rub.

Not disagreeing with that. I'm just worried that the people who build their shelter might do so at the cost of not averting the disaster in the first place.

The people hiding in their shelters will live just a bit longer. If that means they survive: great. But they could also die alone instead of having defeated the danger together.

Not in my experience - at my last job we had multiple meetings with them to try and sell us one of their products (CIO was ex IBM and was pushing us to use it) and everyone technical who was involved on our side was profoundly unimpressed.

Was also a bit bizarre that about 6 of them came along to a meeting with 4 of us - we never did find out what most of them did.
Sean Carrol has a interesting podcast episode (and transcript) related to this type of research for those who are interested.

Episode 16: Coleen Murphy on Aging, Biology, and the Future: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2018/10/01/epis...

> Aging — everybody does it, very few people actually do something about it. Coleen Murphy is an exception. In her laboratory at Princeton, she and her team study aging in the famous C. Elegans roundworm, with an eye to extending its lifespan as well as figuring out exactly what processes take place when we age. In this episode we contemplate what scientists have learned about aging, and the prospects for ameliorating its effects — or curing it altogether? — even in human beings.

I remember when Fortnite came out on fortnite.com instead of the Play Store, and everyone was writing articles about how likely it was people would get malware if they weren't under the safe and snug umbrella of the Play Store. Turns out those were all just about the 30% cut Google didn't want to lose.

The safest way to get an app is from the official website of that app. If they link you to an app store to download it, presumably they're providing the proper actual package name ID that's unique and published by them.
you most definitely should tip the delivery drivers. The delivery fees dont usually go towards them. Uber typically takes 35% of the bill from restaurants. The "delivery fee" is usually to help cover that. Not tipping the driver is just screwing the driver. Unfortunately, tipping is expected so not doing it wont change anything and you just hurt the little guy
I would pay hard money to read Cringely's take on this.
Better hope they try buses before trams, or there will be a lot of tears and scandal, and not a lot of transit. Politicians hate buses though.
Obligatory Terry Pratchett quote:

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”
Or optimize and do the hard work now and then the hard work later, and never do the easy work. Why do easy work when you should just be doing more hard work? This is how capitalism will look at your situation. Its a system optimized so you never get to do the easy work. The problem is you eventually burn out, get depressed and don't know why are you working so hard anymore...

Your argument is well-intentioned, but there is no way a first-year teacher could save $15,000, unless they lived at home. (or were already wealthy) The latest data I could find (2010) shows that even the highest-earning first year teachers only earned $39,259.

The perverse reality for many professions is that, when you are youngest and best able to take advantage of the magic of compound interest, you are barely paid enough to survive independently. After paying for loans to cover college and graduate school, a public school teacher would be lucky to save $15,000 a year 10 years after starting their career.

Trader Dozen: Jared Broad
Child abduction in broad daylight and crowded place had been happening in China. A group of people consist of grandma, husband, uncles would pick on single mom with infant on the street. They would brazenly take away her infant. Of course the mom would be upset and fight. The fake family would act like they were just having a family quarrel. Bystander would just leave them be. I saw documentaries in China and police were advising people to call for police and help those who are in distress.

I would not be surprised if there are fake cops now in the fake family group. But I hope for the best for China.

> Cheaters suck in games, and they can ruin it for many others, but there has to be another way other than forcing your paying users to jump through this many hoops. And if there isn't, then i'm happy to be doomed to playing against/with hackers and cheaters rather than not being able to play at all.

Back in my day, we just played on community servers with moderators who'd just ban cheaters!

I know that's not really a solution with the scale of today's online games, but cheating isn't a new problem. It's only become a problem of today's world of matchmaking systems, global public servers, and the removal of community hosted servers. Still, I feel like just hiring a few more people to manually check suspected cheaters would reduce the need for such heavy handed anti-cheat.

On the other hand, Valve run 2 of the most popular online games (CS:GO and Dota 2), which both have Linux clients, and don't have the same level of intrusive anti-cheat compared to EAC and BattlEye.

> Objects are bags of functions, not bags of data.

That is just silly. I'd be willing to swallow the following revised version, in the context of immutable programming: "classes are bags of functions, not bags of data."

An object (class instance) is then just a datum which serves as a domain value to these functions. Given that domain value, each function in that bag-of-functions class produces a range value: and that bag of range values comprises the properties of the object.

Under traditional mutable OOP, those functions are impure in ways that logically require the object-datum to carry a representation of state somehow.

And anyway, since functions are data (being first class values), any bag of functions is necessarily a kind of bag of data.
Can natural history museums justify their collections of human remains?
Progress has come from making immutability more usable. Many of the troubles in programs come from something mutating state that something else is depending upon. This is not really a functional thing.

The important concept is "single assignment". This is where values are initialized at creation and never changed. Go, which is an imperative language, favors single assignment. Functional programming is a form of single assignment.

Single assignment in an imperative syntax has some advantages over a pure functional form. Values have names, which helps when reading code. You can use the same value twice. It's functional programming without the cult.

The downside of single assignment is that you're frantically creating and discarding values. Underneath, the machine is imperative. So you need compiler support for efficient creation and discarding of values. LISP spends a lot of time creating and discarding values, then garbage collecting them. So do Javascript, Python, etc. Vast amounts of effort have gone into making that efficient, and today it's not a big problem. Rust goes even further, handling most of that overhead at compile time.
It doesn't matter, those same users will use the mobile web version instead. More importantly, Instagram usage has gone way up in that cohort. The title is pure clickbait.

I'm not sure I would call what you are describing FP, because I'm old enough to remember when it was procedural programming, and it was a very common pattern among people that didn't quite get the whole OO thing yet when the moved from C or Pascal to Java. The main difference, really, would be whether you just poke at globals, or thread them through.
> In both cities, the company said it wanted to attract top talent from area universities. But Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Eau Claire are homes to some of the state’s lesser universities, and it was unclear why these graduates couldn’t simply drive down to the Racine plant to apply for jobs.

What? Eau Claire is 260 miles away from Racine. Green Bay is 150 miles. An Eau Clare location can attract people who want to stay near Minneapolis. And the Downtown Milwaukee location is a more desirable place to work to Milwaukee metro residents than out in Sturtevant, home of that one Amtrak stop.

You can't put a 4 square mile factory downtown, but I'm not sure why all your engineers have to work at the factory.

Also, lesser universities? They mean not Madison. But if you're ruling out Madison (maybe they figure a Madison to Milwaukee commute is reasonable), they seem like good choices. Maybe La Crosse lost out to Eau Claire because of proximity to Minneapolis?
Reading all of that makes fighting with the rust borrow checker sound like a walk in the park in comparison.

Does anyone think that stringifying a function and re evaluating it in order to manipulate the compiler sounds like a good way to write code?

I still use Facebook regularly but I deleted the app and the regular Messenger app because they were using too much RAM on my phone.
"Pew surveyed more than 3,400 U.S. Facebook users in May and June, and found that a whopping 44 percent of those ages 18 to 29 say they've deleted the app from their phone in the last year. Some of them may have reinstalled it later.

Overall, 26 percent of survey respondents say they deleted the app"

I think the second sentence is more accurate, but of course, it's not as provocative as 44%.
> The big media and ad companies (Facebook, Google) are effectively making money off someone else's work.

This seems like a cultural difference between copyright proponents and critics (both in the US and EU). To me, this criticism is meaningless. I think that the whole point of modern society is to allow people to make money off of other people's work.

I think there some people who look at a business being built off of other's work, and they say, "By default, we should be suspicious of this with a few exceptions. Unless the public good is enormous (arguably search engines still qualify there), if I make something, only I should profit from it."

Other people look at those businesses and say, "By default, this is the system working completely as intended. Unless the public harm is enormous, if you make something, other people should be able to make things with it."

It's worth noting that in the example you bring up, the news outlet wasn't doing anything with linking or user generated content. Their editorial board just stole your photo. You'd be in the exact same position after this law, because they weren't doing anything that would pass your photo through an upload filter, and they (probably) weren't directly linking to the photo on your site.

Given that the example you list is very clearly something that is not fair use, it seems to me like an even bigger jump than normal to move from "sometimes people steal stuff" to "Google in specific is stealing stuff."
Your "home cooking" wasn't required to make profit. This perverts the incentive from "good food" to "profit". Also your home cooking has a reputation issue.

Uber Eats will not have a reputation issue. Any given "restaurant" can be a facade easily recycled into a new brand name. Any problems Uber can pawn off as a problem with that restaurant and not a fundamental problem of Uber operating above the law and not having safety regulations on its "independent contractors".

As Uber has repeatedly shown a disregard for laws, we can expect it will continue to show a similar disdain for safety, including food safety.

> The most striking thing about this map to me was that you could draw a straight line from the bottom of Virginia all the way across the United States and you wouldn't find a single top company until you hit Los Angeles.

Why is it surprising? YC has historically required relocating to the Bay, so it's not really surprising that the vast majority of top 101 YC companies are in the Bay, or that of the 27 that aren't, there are many paths on the Earth's surface that include 100 million people and none of those relocated top YC companies; and that is even before considering the (also unsurprising) concentration of non-Bay top YC companies in NYC, which leaves even fewer for the rest of the planet.

> As soon as you add private data attributes whose values can break referential integrity of the object’s function calls function calls, then it’s game over for FP

Technically you can do something like this in fp land if you're using the actor model to encapsulate hidden state and erroneous code in a passed lambda does something strange to the hidden state. It's pretty hard to do since most fps with actor model put all of your interfaces to the state right in front of you.

> tools like PowerBuilder, Delphi, Oracle Forms, etc. Now it takes roughly 5x longer a

I've seen no evidence to support the suggestion that building CRUD apps for the web takes 5x as long as with something like PowerBuilder, Delphi, VB etc. The web is very simple but extremely flexible and you can get as much or as little out of it as you like. If it takes 5x as long it means the technical management is inept. I also have personal experience with some huge internal VB and Delphi projects during the 90s that were utter nightmares, and I know anyone else working in that era can attest to similar experiences.

> JavaScript gizmos are always "breaking" when new browser versions come out. It makes DLL-Hell of the 90's look good in comparison.

This is just false. Standards compliant JS releases across the browsers have been extremely stable for years, there are no "JS gizmos" breaking because of browser releases. The DLL-Hell comparison is ridiculous, there is simply nothing even remotely comparable to that on the web today.

> Maybe we need one standard for "eye-candy" and games, and another for git-er-done GUI's.

This is an arbitrary distinction and not a technical one. The solution is to understand which problems need solving and then to select the appropriate tool (that you understand how to use) for the job.
I still don't understand how Microsoft can charge people a monthly fee to play multiplayer games on Xbox--or Sony doing the same on PS4--when the very same games can often be played on a gaming computer for no more than the cost of the internet connection and the individual game subscription fees (if any).

That type of blatant rent-seeking by gatekeepers can never happen in an open-source OS gaming ecosystem with unrestricted HID hardware. It's a structural impossibility. That's what I think about when I see the phrase. It's PC-master race, not PC master-race. Owning your own device means being its master, and master over any software that must petition you to run on it.
Id strongly recommend adding the ability to implement pipelines as code -- ie: you check in the CI/CD configuration into the repo (or another repo, containing CI/CD configurations). Having to configure the pipelines manually is nasty, and often builds are caused by misconfigured of the pipeline. having this checked it allows easy versioning.
It's partly because of the flattening of certain vowels that happens in Am English. Like how con is similar to Kahn in Am English, bun has a little ah to its uh. Hence u (you) bun (bahn) tu (Too).
I think your perceptions may be compromised by the 'boiled frog' effect, where the increasing authoritarianism in Germany and throughout the EU has escaped your notice because it has occurred in small increments. For instance, any discussion of the migrant crime rate, even by victims, is treated as hate speech, and even prosecuted, making people afraid to talk.

At any rate, again taking Germany as an example, the hate-speech laws of The Weimar Republic were vigorously prosecuted. Even so, they were ineffective in preventing the succeeding regime from taking power, and were simply co-opted by that vile regime to suppress dissent.
I realized I was checking facebook a lot each day whenever I had a spare moment, but didn't have anything really interesting happening, and I wanted to engage more with those around me and have more time for down-time thinking. So I deleted the app, knowing that making the threshold higher for checking it would reduce my usage, now I might check facebook once a month on my desktop, and still nothing happening, so it is super brief. My life is better, I feel better, my relationships are better, and I don't miss it at all.

I don't know. I've also deleted the app but continue to use the web version of Facebook. I think a lot of people just don't use Facebook in a way that's consistent with the mobile app experience.

I'm also suspicious on principle of statistics which suggest but don't actually show what they're trying to measure. If nearly half of young adults have really stopped using Facebook, surely there's a more direct statistic showing it.
I wouldn't particularly discourage the rumor.

The app has enough permissions that when coupled with Facebook's data analytics it amounts to a similar invasion of privacy.
You don't need moderators, just policy. Where I work we have threaded conversations and no one needs to moderate anything.

Further, "optimize for searching" isn't a thing. Teams gives full text search, and you can find any word or phrase you need to instantly.

That's true. I'm only addressing the proposed scenario - projected 90% die-off following a total collapse of modern civilization. At this point you'll have to deal with large amount of desperate, starving people radiating away from cities and towards any and all known farms, warehouses, and food/water sources. But having a food stash is a really good idea anyway, because if a disruption is only temporary (say, a week or a month), it may be a difference between living and dying (or not wanting to live with yourself anymore).
