I started with Apple ][ Basic, but then moved to Turbo Pascal 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 and enjoyed quite a lot the "Unit" system. But now came the realization that it was not possible for one to do cyclic references - e.g. "Unit A" refers to symbols from "B", and vice versa... Not that it's a good idea, but "C" linkage is okay with this, and you can split things much easier, thus probably ruining things in the long term... but sometimes it can help...

"Uses BGI;" and I'm done :)
Agreed. GCP UI is... Actually usable. There are cases where I prefer that to the UI or API.
And here we see the famous "we didn't know they weren't dangerous" excuse:

"There is no evidence to suggest that the officers did not honestly believe that Dorner was in the vehicle, nor is there evidence to suggest that the officers did not honestly believe they were being fired upon."
I see tiny kids walking down narrow (I would call dangerous due to traffic) streets. See them crossing sidewalks. As a parent of a one year old I find this scary and fascinating.
The template is the same, but the content is different. How is it that different from LinkedIn ranking for an individual's name or a news article or forum discussion?

I don't know about others but I favour something like StackOverflow because it's consistent and predictable. I know it will load quickly, things will be in the spot I expect, and I won't have to jump through modals to get to the content. They'd have more than 25,000 informative and templated pages ranking and it's a positive thing.
> The public is not hating Facebook as much as people want to believe.

> But the media has its narrative and it'll continue this "Facebook is evil" beat. The same with Clinton's email server, and more recently, the same with that immigrant caravan coming up from Central America.

The media doesn't just report on the public's current taste; its also an agent for advising the public to change their taste. To throw light on darkness. The article is not just some slander on Facebook, it goes into detail about exactly how much Facebook execs knew about the problem and the (extreme, IMO) political steps they've taken to protect their interests.

I'm uncomfortable with the fact that you can study for a non-entry level interview . In fact, you're very likely to do better on an interview if you haven't been working recently, but have been grinding leetcode questions. It's unlikely this situation reflects the employer's actual preferences.
That's backwards if my memory is correct. Borland compiled a copy of the template for each file[1] you compiled, but cfront tried to compile each template only once.

Cfront also basically never worked well.

1: the technical term is "compilation unit" since #include means you're never compiling just one file

Why, specifically, were no symbols available? I can't come up with an explanation. Surely old symbols are kept. Do checked builds take longer to iterate on (ie build), or something?

It's not "totally different." It's connect "API X to API Y." Extrapolating every single permutation of this concept to outrank the competition on a specific search phrase in Google is a hack, and a failure in the broader vision of web search. These "25 thousand pages" are created for computer search algorithms first, and humans second. It's a dumb game we're forced to play to stay competitive.

That is, this study seems to claim that what you eat can impact your metabolism.
Sure you can, you can at least reign it in. We do it all the time. Every time I read sentences like "you cannot stop technology xy" what you actually seem to mean is "I don't want to".

We have international nuclear arms proliferation agreements that are reasonably effective. We keep the worst actors in the world from possessing biological weapons. But we cannot control what social media company Mark Zuckerberg let's loose on the world?

Very interesting point.

I must admit that when I saw valley in

> OK, we have this valley

I immediately thought about SV, and then as I read

> - Maybe we could build some sort of catapult setup to throw the cars
> * across the valley*

I imagined some kind of scenario happening in an alternate reality where a startup was trying to dream up a viable way to actually achieve this in SV.

It was funny because of the fact that a lot of the ideas people do come up with are probably ideologically very similar in magnitude and ridiculous impossibility.
I find this bit especially chilling:

"But Jay Melosh, an impact crater expert at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, doubts the strike was so recent. Statistically, impacts the size of Hiawatha occur only every few million years, he says, and so the chance of one just 13,000 years ago is small."

Pay special attention to that idea. This guy is drawing a line in the sand, offering an opinion based on statistical probability alone... on a topic that has grave implications for our kind -- because with space travel and weapons technology we have been in a position to DO something about the threat -- and we have so far done NOTHING.

He is just a gambler, engaged in the most dangerous "gambler's fallacy" of all. It is a mental disorder just as surely as any homeless compulsive gambler, and his disorder affects others. And there are many like him. Try this one:

https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/throwback-thursday-are...

There we have someone telling children that asteroids are nothing to worry about, because.... we have this statistical engine of perfect clockwork and big rocks only fall according to our statistical 'timetable', and none are 'scheduled' for next week. And he goes on to imply that we should accept the idea of extinction (despite being technologically advanced) as a stress reliever. It's an insidious way of thinking. People do it out of angst too. They'll take a dark view of humankind as if the planet would be better off without us, completely ignoring the concept that if we could defend the planet we would be protecting all life on it.

It's one of the issues I write letters about,

You're moving the goal posts. We're not talking about a fast, we're talking about a very low carbohydrate diet. The paper I reference demonstrates that a carbohydrate restriction does not incur muscular catabolism when protein is a component of your low carbohydrate diet (which should primarily be fats to prevent excessive protein from kicking you out of ketosis).

Big tobacco's new marketing push: Smartphones, style and EDM
the productivity in the US has been stagnating/decreasing for more than a decade already. Tight labor market requires to pay more to employees which in turn requires the businesses to increase productivity and efficiency - i.e. the more expensive the labor the less waste of that labor can the business afford. Add to that the tax cuts which automatically made the employees even more expensive (actual cost of employee = cost paid - tax on profit, i.e. $100 employee salary comes down to just $70 in actual cost with 30% profit tax rate whereis it is $80 with 20% profit tax rate). Even more automation/computerization/robotization/etc. to come.
The prelinker approach is now laregly considered a dead end. I've never seen one that wasn't really buggy.
There are laws and regulations in China about who can own the physical infrastructure, but that doesn't mean that it isn't AWS. The implication that the only benefit is that the name is retained is simply false.

Due to laws and logistics, AWS Classic -> AWS China aren't at full feature parity, but it's certainly not some watered down or different version of the AWS cloud.
I imagine that an image of a planet around another star would have similar global impact as the Earth-rise picture from the Apollo missions did / does - sort of uniting people from different nations by giving them a visceral reaction from a totally new pov.

Is such an "image" why we are discussing here?
Yep. Every time people say "Americans don't want to do these jobs" or anything else suggesting that there is a labor shortage in some sector I always mentally append the phrase "at the price you want to pay".
Yes and no.

While you're technically correct that there are well-accepted principles, they don't always have much bearing on whether a company will be solvent, or easy to finance.

Example 1: Amazon's core retail business. Not very "profitable". Yet, it provides a massive amount of float through their ability to get inventory quickly from suppliers on long payment terms (30-60 days), that's sold to customers in something like 7-14 days with immediate collection. That means Amazon has something like 2-6 weeks cash, at hundreds of billions/revenue per year (8-40 billion in interest-free cash), as effectively an interest-free loan. That might not be profitable but it's very easy to see how that allows cheap financing of capital-intensive investment. Amazon is explicitly run with emphasis on cashflow dynamics (less on profit). It's worked exceedingly well for them.

Example 2: A hotel might run very profitably on a unit basis but require so much upfront capital to finance that it's practically impossible to build.

My point isn't that accounting isn't "real". Money is also in some sense a "shared fiction" [1] and yet it's quite real. It's just that looking merely at accounting profit/loss doesn't really tell you much about the operational dynamics of a company. It took me a really long time to understand this.

[1] From "Sapiens", a great book, explaining the role of fiction in real-world decision-making and beliefs.
How does giving companies more money automatically make employees more expensive? That's extremely counter-intuitive.

Say you do business anywhere in the state of California. To another human you would say, "we serve the entire state of California." But to outrank your Google competition you must create a landing page for every single city in California you do business in. This is not the same thing as a different forum post or different profile pages. This is auto-generated redundant fluff. It bring no value other than outranking the competition on a specific search phrase, and possibly misleading the reader to believe you're more local or focused than you actually are. I get that it's the rules of the Google game we're all playing, but I don't buy that it's somehow positive to the web user's experience.
> Add to that the tax cuts which automatically made the employees even more expensive

It's immensely unfortunate that there's still this ingrained mindset that in order to live a proper middle-class life you have to settle in the middle of suburbia hell where there's nothing around for miles. Though it doesn't help that the entire system is built to subsidize and encourage islands of suburbia separated by long stretches of highway.

Japan's centralization of population, strong public transit systems and city design is something that vastly appeals to me.
No, like in some programs when I figure out how to do it correctly the unit tests are either complete tautologies or integration tests.

Then there are the "write once, never fail ever" tests. Okay, so the test made sense when I wrote the code. I will never touch that part ever again because it works perfectly. Why do I keep running them every time?

There are many usually smaller sized businesses that simply won't work because of the nature of their economics and would cease to exist if you raise pay too much. There are though many other businesses of larger size that earn multiples on each employee and could afford to pay them much more and pay the shareholders and execs much less or nothing.
What format is content stored in? Is it all RTF under the hood or something else more custom? Curious to know.

Can't blame American families for choosing suburbia. US cities are a mess -- too many crazies, needles and trash everywhere, traffic congestion and poor public transit, expensive housing, and so forth.

And there's no political will anywhere in the USA, suburban or urban areas, to change any of this.

As someone with a 32-bit Windows 10, thank you!

I have it installed on an old 2006 MacBook, so Microsoft was still providing updates for a 12 year old machine... one that Apple itself abandoned after just 6 years. It's one of my favorite examples of Microsoft's longer support for old hardware.

And for what it's worth, after 12 years and 3 Mac purchases, I've switched & just bought a PC again.
Angering customers may not in fact be good economic sense. You may be thinking more short-term than you should.
I've used Slate in a production application for about 2 years now, as part of a CMS for medical professionals to write rich content for other medical professionals and patients.

They tend to write the initial content in MS Word which they are comfortable with and then paste into the editor, then the editor has to reconcile this according to the site's structural elements. Then for editing, this works fantastically well, and allows more complex widgets and unusual design elements to be embedded and edited in the WYSIWYG context in the editor.

When the system was first being built we trialed 10-20 or so other solutions in this space, many with the same design concepts as Slate, but something about this stuck. Just brilliant.

This is correct from my perspective as well (I live in Japan). Not just portion sizes, but total calories in a meal are dramatically smaller. I went back to the UK a week ago for a visit and I was stunned to see menus with calories listed that had individual meals (without drinks or desert!) listed as considerably over 1000 kcal.

Japanese people often have a good breakfast, but then eat maybe 5-700 kcal for lunch (in the form of a bentou) and maybe the same for dinner. Sometimes you get a set bentou at work and it often works out to about 1000 kcal -- but nobody I know who eats those ever eats dinner. They'll have a drink or two after work with whatever otoshi (side dish imposed on you as a cover charge in the drinking establishment) and maybe some snacks.
Many of the jobs in that category are paid little because it's not really economical to pay more. Wages are constrained by productivity and what customers are willing to pay.

E.g. if you have to pay people a lot to wash cars then those jobs will simply disappear.
I thought this for a while but I'm pretty sure I was wrong. When thinking about all these services that exist I didn't understand how divers would stay busy: Uber, Lyft, Uber eats, Amazon restaurants, doordash, GrubHub, etc. Then I realized they actually reinforce each other because all divers can work for all the services. So they don't have to wait around for an Amazon restaurants order to come in, they'll just do Ubers until then, or whatever else comes in first. This actually makes it easier for new entrants the more services are already out there demanding divers and maintaining a large pool of contract drivers.

I was really impressed with one of the interview rounds I was given at Microsoft - I was shown a mock code review and asked to comment on bugs (ranging from easy to spot like null reference exceptions, to harder like race conditions and edge cases) and code quality.

It felt like good fair test of someone's day to day ability, isn't really something you can grind for, and presumably also gives quite a good quantitative measure of a candidate if you assign a weight to each bug/quality suggestion.
I used slate in one of my projects but replaced it eventually with draft.js.
The biggest pain points were:

Not stable yet. A lot of breaking changes between releases, so you have to update your code frequently.
Breaking changes often introduced new bugs.
Big in size (even bigger than draft.js).

It's literally factually true, even if somewhat unintuitive; it's more frequently pointed out that corporate taxes on retained profits are a subsidy on losses, but that's equally true of expenses even when the corporation is net profitable as it is of losses.
You define an internal schema, which is essentially just a tree structure according to your own use-case. In this way it lets you do editing of more complicated page elements than a typical WYSWYG editor.

You can provide (or use others') serialisers and deserialisers to convert between that representation and something else, e.g. RTF, HTML.
