It's a cool idea that you're pursing, and it looks like they're gaining popularity!

For more exposure, I think that your videos would benefit from some kind of visual performance, most people would much rather watch an unknown rapper in a video than a blank title template...

Here's some ideas to make your videos get more exposure:

- [1] Pretend to do a conference talk with power-point presentation, this would be a hilarious satire, as it's extremely relate-able for programmers.

- [2] Cartoon animations of what you're describing (this would be time-consuming though)

- [3] Weird face-filters, like the deep-fake kind, you could make celebrities rap in different parts of your song.

- Cool programmatic visualisations (you're a programmer after all)

Regarding ABIs, ChromeOS, Android, Windows (COM/UWP/.NET) and the old guard mainframes are living proof that one can have a library ABI completely unrelated to C.

On the microcontrollers side, there are a couple of vendors that I usually advocate, which do sell Basic, Pascal, Oberon, Java implementations, however if it surprising and refreshing as well, that they still manage to keep in business, given how hard is to move most embedded devs away from C89 + extensions/Assembly duo.

Talks about how to advocate C++ to such devs are a now a recurring theme at C++ conferences.

Even Microsoft which uses a mix of C# and Rust for IoT Edge, they went with Linux and C on Azure Sphere, which is supposed to be their mark on secure IoT, while I was expecting that at very least they would use the opportunity to push their Checked C project, given that Azure Sphere is being pushed by the same MSR group from Singularity and friends.
I feel like some of the biggest difficulties Rich text editors in browsers face nowadays are supporting social media type inputs like mentions, hashtags, emojis, etc. while still maintaining the classic rich text selections. DraftJs is the only one that achieved that for me, I had to do some serious elbow grease to get functioning hashtags in Redactor (another rich text editor).
SlateJS user mentions are far away from what users expect a mentions plugin to work like.
FYI what you are describing is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disapproval_voting
I dug into the details earlier this year, and it turned out at the time that Microsoft counts some undisclosed but significant percentage of revenue from sales of Office 365 in their "Commercial Cloud" category, even if you buy it in a box at a store... because in theory that box entitles you to Office In the Cloud. This (Azure plus some percentage of Office) is the "Azure" revenue number that gets compared to AWS and GCP to determine the market share number that you see in all the graphs.

Can anyone confirm/deny? I'm reasonably certain this is right from my reading of financial reports, but I'm no accountant.
> You could literally say the exact same things about the postal service.

I don't think so. Its the "rapid propagation" part that makes it different from the postal service.
That just makes it even more infuriating. In what universe is bringing an adapter with a phone a valid thing?

You could "pair" it with your headphones, which works ok if you only use them with your phone (and don't have to decouple them ever) - big if. Also assumes you only have one pair that you use.

But the headphone jack shines for temporary and unexpected situations. Where you don't have your headphones you are out of luck.

Just no, seriously. NO.
Yeah, I must admit I had forgotten about the game - but I do recall how it had me mesmerised back in the days. I must have been about 12 when it came out.

Businesses aren't bootstrapped on the back of cheap labor. They're bootstrapped on the back of high cost variance labor. They're paid in equity that may be worth nothing or may be worth a lot. You convince people based on the merit of your idea. They evaluate whether or not your idea has a sufficiently high probability of success to be worth their time. The labor isn't cheap, it's just not paid for with cash.
Looks promising. After working with and evaluating many rich text editors I usually consider building one myself as a nightmare, due to the interaction complexity and browser differences.

One thing that strikes me with this editor, similar to many others that are innovative and promising, is how Edge and mobile are not first class citizens.

That will severly limit the use case for the editor to niche products or embedded in apps build in Electron or similar.
There is a more interesting video if you look at their channel.

But why would you want a robot like this? Why not prefab the parts of the house and assemble on site?
I think the csvkit CLI tool, csvsql, provides this functionality, too.
Saw an article yesterday, some expert, something like "2 in X working age adults don't want a job / don't want to work" - also skill sets need updating and who should pay to train employees needs debating, maybe a fed subsidy..

Around the city I live in, the past 6 months wages have started to increase a bit, some chain restaurants now have banners out front "starting at $12/hour". Many places are short staffed and lose business because of it.

Problem is, the living wage here has increased to around $23 / hour.

I'm sure you could live in one of the slums for less, and you could be on the section 8 waiting list for 2 years hoping to live for less if you can couch surf and bridge sleep while waiting...

mit's living wage calc says an adult can living wage here for $11.24 / hour - I've tried to help people find cheap housing options in town several times the past two years and I just don't see how those numbers work out.

The calculator says 1 adult 1 child, $22.77 per hour - that seems more doable, although I think most people living here would be spending much more than $11,508 on housing, so at that rate they would be sacrificing healthcare and probably transportation or whatever to make it work.

People don't want to work full time and not be able to afford basic necessities.

Another problem is so many jobs say they drug test, but there is (at least not that I have found yet) not a job listing site or category for "Smiling faces" aka 'we don't test for weed in your system as long as you toke at home and don't show up with red eyes / moving slow with a bag of chips in hand.'

So yeah, try paying more for sure. Get more realistic with labeling jobs.

In some cases making transportation free would get you some excellent workers who can't afford $20 per day for ubers but want to work further from their apartment where you job is.

I've watched many here struggle to find rides to work and jobs that are $5 or under for uber to get there.

There is more that can be done for sure. As so many places try to not pay well, I see more and more that are closed when they should be open, or running slow and losing business because they are short staffed.

Certainly steak and shake could pay $20 an hour for third shift workers if it meant they could stay open and make many times that.

Things I've been noticing in this growing city are not indicative of the whole country / world - so whatever bias yeah I know.
Usually you get that cheap labor with lower experienced and younger employees. You do get what you pay for in many ways, but you do find those talented young people who can be really good for the first 1 or 2 years, or do things that many big companies refuse to do, like hire remote or give things like flexible work arrangements in exchange for cheaper pay.
If you need to read to import CSV from someone else, there are tons of ambiguities. Do you interpret an empty field as an empty string or a NULL? If you've treated a column of unquoted digits as numbers so far, do you parse the first row with a non-number in that column as a NaN, NULL or string? If string, do you reinterpret all the previous column values as strings?

Many people are not in the position to just return the file to the client/boss and tell them they have a "broken csv file". (They'll tell you they saved it in Excel and it reads back fine, so the problem must be on your end. E.g.: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43273976/escaping-quotes...)
No longer deaf people of Reddit: which noises surprised you?
Finding living organisms would in general be bad news, but it depends on the type of life. It would tell us about why we don't see a universe filled with intelligent life. It would increase the probability though that the great filter is ahead of us, especially if the life is multi-cellular.
simplified: this, again, is a misconception - fat doesn't per se clog the arteries. LDL (bad) to HDL (good) cholesterol levels do that, which are influenced by a lot of factors, like smoking, alcohol, certain kinds of fats and simple carbs (sugar).
It might depend on main body text versus title text. It's jarring when body text changes so I'd prefer fallback in that case. For a title which might have more branding concerns, I'd prefer swap.
Not enough local talent, most likely.
What I would like to see would be tagged memory like the SPARC has, which was put to good effect on Solaris, to become common across all major platforms.

Apparently at least Android might adopt it on ARM.

And do concede, maybe the extensions you have used, to actually become part of Annex K as well instead of deprecating it.

Because despite my dislike for C, I am fully aware that UNIX derived platforms will stay with us for the years to come, so we need to improve the current state of affairs somehow.
We do blame newspapers for starting wars though. At least we did back when they did so. We do hold the mainstream media as accountable for its actions.

You seem to be either (intentionally or for the sake of argument) excluding a lot of relevant context in your arguments to make Facebook look similar to a printing press.

Born severely hearing impaired, got my first hearing aids at 12 years old.

Honestly, just about every noise surprised me. I was not prepared for how obnoxiously loud the whole world is. My hearing aids practically turned me into a librarian, just walking around shushing everything and everyone.

The audiologist gave me my hearing aids for the first time and wrote something down then put her pen on the desk. I just about jumped a mile, sounded like she slammed it as hard as she could, but she just placed it down.

I got up to walk out and thought I ripped my pants because of the noise, but it was just my windbreaker rubbing on itself.

The laughing child in the waiting room caused me actual physical pain from the strength of the noise.

I closed the car door and waited for dad to yell at me for slamming it because it was so loud it sounded like what I imagined a gunshot would sound like. I didn't actually slam the door.

Dad started the car and I thought there was something wrong with the engine. How could a car sound so loud and NOT have anything wrong with it? The car was fine.

The radio came blaring on and I finally understood why my parents were always telling me to turn that damn volume down. People actually listen to this painful shit for fun!?!

I was almost in tears by the end of dinner. The cutlery scraping against the plates made me want to tear my hearing aids out and stomp them to pieces.

I thought mom was angry when she was cleaning up after dinner and slamming everything around. She wasn't angry.

After dinner, 3 hours after I got my hearing aids, I was thoroughly overwhelmed and decided to go to my room, take my hearing aids out and get some peace and quiet. I closed the door to my room and heard a quiet, almost peaceful sound. It was the first sound I heard that I didn't hate. I spent a long time searching for the source of the noise before I realized it was coming from outside. It was the sound of the rain.

It never even occurred to me that rain would make noise. I mean those tiny little drops are practically weightless, how could they possibly make noise?!?! I just sat there and listened to the rain for hours.

If it had not been raining that day, there's a good chance I would have never worn those hearing aids again.

It has been 30 years since then and I have grown more accustomed to how loud everything is, but I still get overwhelmed in noisy situations sometimes... I love coming home after a long day, taking my hearing aids out and just basking in the peace.
I was listening to a great podcast about this. They said they asked owners of businesses, "If you're having trouble hiring, why don't you offer more money?". Their response was all a variation on, "because then I'd have to pay all my other workers more when they found out, and it's cheaper to just pay the current folks overtime at their lower rate than give everyone a raise".
I see, but still, at least the energy source itself would be proven technology in the form of H-bombs right? As for the shielding, do you mean the pusher plate or the nuclear shape charge in the bombs themselves? Does going from fission to fission+fusion bomb make such a big difference that couldn’t be overcome just with more/stronger material and/or ablative shields?
Oracle license management is technically difficult and consumers a lot of brainpower.

Oracle is also a hairy beast, kind of the perl of databases: there's always more than one way to do it.

Why do you think it hasn’t kept up? Perhaps legal hasn’t. CA is a very different place than the one I grew up in.
How This All Happened
I work at Tyk.io and our average response time is less than an hour. If we talking about resolution time, it is about few weeks (depending on release cycle). But overall we are so good at it, because all team members, including engineers, do the support. There is some "first line" of support, which answer basic questions, and re-directs to the related person. Additionally, since we are a remote team (same as Zapier), we have team members across all over the globe, and literally 24 hours online.

Involving engineers into support is not cheap, but it pays off with extraordinary customer loyalty.

And for sure a lot of automation, extensive internal and external FAQs, and good documentation.
This is very true. There are lots of gamification the providers play to “juice” the numbers.

Here’s one example (apologies for picking on IBM). So IBM will sell you a million dollars of software for $1, and then force you to buy $600,000 of cloud even if you never use it. You don’t complain because you got a 40% discount, and IBM can “book” 600k in cloud revenue.
But where is the line? Can I import hundreds of people to manually have them dig coal out of the ground with their bare hands because I can't afford the machinery yet and claim I'm bootstrapping a mining business. We would typically call this exploitation.

Many types of business can't be bootstrapped. That is not unusual. Bootstrapping is primarily a popular approach now due to easy computer automation that makes a small subset of companies viable with the very small staff and no expensive hardware. It certainly isn't a default across all industries.

The labour pool is a market. You are not entitled to cheap labour just because you want it. If you can't find someone willing to do your work at the rate you want to pay it's because someone else is paying more for the same work, so you need to pay more to attract the labour.

Importing people from abroad is something that only exists as a solution because of the imbalance of development levels around the world right now. I expect that this is an anomaly that we are going to see correct itself in time once all countries reach a similer level of development. Where will you import your cheap labour from then?

In the UK we used to employ children to work in the mines and the mills. This was eventually realised to be exploitative and made illegal. I'd bet that all the business owners at the time complained how would they ever be profitable without the cheap child labour. But they either adjust or die, and I'm happy with that tradeoff. If a business is only viable with child labour I would prefer it didn't exist at all.
I had a friend who had a BS and wanted a temp part time job but got turned down a lot....and these were simple jobs!

Tristan Harris, founder of the non-profit Center for Humane Technology (CHT) [0] has been quite successful at high government circles and board level of big tech companies.

At the time Mark Zuckerberg didn't want to testify in the UK, he testified to the UK House of Commons commission to inform them about Fake News [1]

In the corporate world the strategy is to 'Engage employees', make them aware of the harms of technology and philosophy of Humane Tech. I found it enlightening to see him address the opening keynote at Dreamforce 2018 "How to Stop Technology from Destabilizing the World" [2] to a hall full of SalesForce customers.

The CHT now focuses primarily on fake news, disinformation, political influencing problems that arise from tech - i.e. the topics where the risk for civic breakdown is highest, but they have also played a role in bringing the concept of 'Time Well Spent' - focussed on healthy tech use - across at e.g. Google and Apple (but much to be done still in this area).

PS. I represent the Humane Tech Community, which is affiliated yet operates independently of the CHT, as a grassroots movement [3].

I had the pleasure of being assigned Ashe's memoir, Days of Grace, during a summer school class(I don't even remember what the class was supposed to be about - some district mandated requirement) and certain of its images have lingered with me for years. Would recommend.
I wrote @ronomon/mime, an email parser which enforces RFC 2822 3.6.2 and which also detects a variety of attack vectors before they can reach the email client.

A summary of these vectors are listed in the README (amongst various sanity checks): https://github.com/ronomon/mime#robust

Just through checking everything about an email carefully, @ronomon/mime has detected and brought to light some interesting attack vectors, for example a malformed email which crashes Apple Mail. This was disclosed to Apple's security team although they did not see any actual security implications.

Another interesting attack vector was an email containing millions of empty multiparts, which was able to crash several popular email servers. This was disclosed through Snyk, here are the details: https://snyk.io/blog/how-to-crash-an-email-server-with-a-sin...

Usability suffers, if you can't type the delimiters easily.
My recent favorite question is how to design a proper login page, store the password and authenticate them.

You'd be surprised how many things can go wrong.
Also no antidote to how you are viewed in all circumstances see - neckbeard, fly-over country, redneck, hillbilly, white trash.
Businesses are bootstrapped on the backs of the founders who exchange high personal risk for potential reward. I have had a bootstrapped company and my employees always got paid first and correctly. I don’t hire people unless I can pay them what they fairly cost. Any shortfalls came from my pocket and savings and never on the backs of my team. Maybe I am an outlier. It seems to me that the Amazons and Ubers of the world are built upon “cheap” labor more so than bootstrapped companies. Those types of companies have a competitive advantage from their access to cheap labor that is magnified at scale. Your typical bootstrapped company isn’t at the scale where exploitive labor makes much sense.
there's an endless supply of replies to comments like yours that go like "it will never be possible to fix every problem so the safest move is no move", and I don't wish to be that kind of commenter, i.e. I think it is good to at least try and propose mechanisms -even flawed ones- so that at least the discussion of the problems continue and hopefully the mechanisms can be improved.

it is in this mindset that I am asking if we can adress the following issue: suppose the government or its postal system selectively withholds the goods payed for through cryptographic protocols, then buyer and seller lose.

again, I'm not trying to be destructive, just wondering out loud if we can generalize the kind of protocol you describe to include the transporter as an attacker in the attack model.

I think we could split up in 2 cases: transporters that are paid on the same cryptographic protocol/platform, and transporters that are paid outside. I believe it will be easier to solve the problem by restricting to transporters who get paid by the same contract/platform, since we could have the transporter deposit an insurance of same or higher value as the good to be transported, and upon arrival his pre-agreed transport cost and deposit are released?

Obviously the traditional postal system can not be forced to be paid through this platform, so this hole in the market would effectively create demand for crypto postage and hence create jobs.

I would like to see a more rigorous breakdown of such a protocol, and a censor-ship free listing of issues remaining with the protocol, so that the discussion on improvement can continue.

Also it seems like the first transporter does not need to be the same person as the last transporter, i.e. intermediary packet handoff could also be handled by the protocol such that the first transporter gets paid back his deposit after doing "his part" of the packet journey...
Games, a 3D API that doesn't suck, an actual OO ABI, a kernel that isn't yet another UNIX clone, one of the best IDEs on the school from Xerox PARC workstations, a shell that uses structured data and integrates with OS APIs, user space drivers.
I have a mixed view on this. I don't have a traditional CS background, so when I started focusing on datastructures and algorithms a couple years ago, I found that it helped my programming.
Recently, I was in a position where I had a chance to create an interview process for a smaller firm. I included some algorithm questions, but it was roughly 25% of what mattered. We looked more at communication skills and past work. Judging someone on a random algorithm question seems a bit too harsh for me. Even the best developers probably have some holes in their algorithm knowledge and would miss a few leetcode "easy" questions!

It seems like a cool concept. The real example is slightly different to the CGI mockup, so I think they still have a bit of work to do.

Best of luck to them! This could potentially bring down huge construction costs. Keen to see more automation in the construction industry.
