Wow, glad to hear about that Hulu situation. I used Hulu for a while, then dropped it when they added ads to my paid account. When I heard they had an ad-free version again I thought I might come back - but if the ad-free version is not ad-free then I'll just keep my money.
If you don’t see the similarity, I don’t know what to tell you. The thing they have in common is arguing against personhood.
Would this allow Lua code to directly use Goroutines, and take advantage of Go's features for concurrency and parallelism?

I'd love to see a high-level language like Lua (or Python, Ruby etc.) with good threading support. Building a language runtime in Go might be a good way to get that support more easily?

While I'm wishing for things, could I have good single-threaded performance too? This would likely need a JIT, which unfortunately doesn't seem possible in Go at the moment [0].

Maybe I should give up on my desire for a high-level language and just use Go itself, where concurrency, parallelism and good performance are all available today...

So people used the same argument with games and loot boxes. But even if videogames cost $500 a copy, there is so much money to be made with loot boxes that they would still exist in these games at that price.

Years (or more specifically millions of years) gets used sometimes when talking about astrophysics, evolution or continental drift. (I am not a researcher and definitely not in any of those field though, so this may just be in material aimed at non-scientists). But I guess there's enough orders of magnitude of different that they rarely cross over so no one cares about the odd ratio, similar to J vs eV.
It's questions like this that make me glad I don't take standardized tests anymore.

When I took the GREs in 2008, I received a 480 on the verbal section (which was bad given I was applying to PhD programs), and a perfect 6/6 on the written section. I actually didn't qualify for a handful of programs, because they required ESL students to achieve 500 or greater (so I was below what a non-english speaker needs to score, and I spoke english as a first language). So, somehow I was an excellent writer, but had poor verbal skills.

It's remarkable that we test people against this style of language, both domestically in the US and abroad, given the unlikeliness someone will ever stumble across this type of prose. And, if you do, you should really ask the writer why they're trying to be so convoluted in their argument.

> Trump starts rounding up “illegals” and shooting them if they refuse to leave our country

I'd say that that's a valid I'd concern even as a Trump supporter. All governments are capable of copious amounts of nastiness. Today, my guy could be in power, tomorrow someone else's will be. Therefore, systems that take this into account would perform better than those that don't.
We have a big problem with these in my org. High execs buy software that sucks (From HP, Microfocus, CA, Oracle). They literally have to force people to use it. A lot of money is thrown so people use it. Even after everybody realizes it is bad software. Because somebody high up has to save face.

Meanwhile other software just is being organically, underground until everybody uses it and it cannot hidden anymore. As an example, Git took years and years to be accepted. Now everybody wants to get on board.

The bigger cost is not to buy shitty software. The bigger cost is failing to acknowledge it and move on.

There are plenty of free software based operating systems that will take your money. Red Hat seems like the most obvious one.
Nah, I think that's just it. It's easier to write down certain calculations in mole in a chemical context, because you're concerned with atoms reacting with each other. You don't have 12 grams of carbon and 4 grams of hydrogen, but 1 mole of carbon and 4 mole of hydrogen.
This doesn't seem to give good results. You can do better indexing using certificate transparency logs.

It's quite amusing, because by percentage, the systems I use 8 hours a day are barely even represented in the logs (contrast with my Android phone attempting to hit Google DNS and being prevented by the firewall, over and over, _forever_.)

Outlook.com is also a mail provider, so it's not really a proper comparison. Outlook Web App (OWA), the Web client for Exchange and Office 365, and Outlook on the desktop have no ads.
Or just be consistent about the bills. If I get a bill for $850 and then another one for $1150 do I owe $1150? $2000? Have you run this by my insurance yet?

So I just wait 60 days and go with whatever the last bill is they sent me. I could do 30 days but I'm already pissed that they can't get their shit together (and at the state of health care) so they can stew for all I care.

Re: [0], what about them do you hate?

For my part, I've discovered since switching to Mac that I don't like having system packages managed alongside user packages.

It's one thing when I'm all-in on handling everything from the kernel up (it was fine back when I used Gentoo, for example) but the middle ground of massive meta-packages and such mingled with user-installed individual packages on e.g. Ubuntu is a train wreck. MacOS w/ homebrew's great. I can delete the entire directory with my brew installed crap in it and the system's unaffected. System upgrades are separate from my stuff. That plus the occasional drag+drop installed program cover my needs nicely, and better than everything's-a-bespoke-GUI-installer on Windows.

Actually, I didn't feel any comments were particularly harsh. I'm learning from most of them. This is exactly the feedback I'm searching for: idiomatic Clojure.
No I agree, it seems stupid. What we did is take a block of metal and call it a kilogram, figure out how many atoms are in 1/1000 of it (a gram) and call that a mole. What we should do is redefine the gram to be whatever 1e10 atoms of Hydrogen weighs, or something similar. When I read the headline I thought thats what they did, and I admit first reaction was "oh god I'm going to be dealing with conversions and associated errors for the rest of my life".

Disclaimer: I took high school chem, that's it.
That is a very univariate understanding of what happened.

I highly advise a more multivariate approach where the causes and effects are more deeply understood than spinning a story against one company, much less everyone who works at that one company. I'm not sure anyone would survive that scrutiny.

I agree with you on the “people don’t examine their principles and hold consistent world views” thing. You see it everywhere but and it frustrates me so so very much. But I think the travel ban is actually was super immature and is actually an example of the right being inconsistent. You’re American until you travel to Iran then you’re subhuman? What! Come on. Of course we need to scrutinize people who enter even if that means closing our doors to refugees if we can’t handle the load, but a travel ban that applies even to US citizens... that’s inconsistent.
It's literally what you described in the third paragraph:

> All you need to distribute a software package is files, and a subsystem that maps files into the user's environment, and links together the files needed to run the software. We can accomplish this with a copy-on-write, overlay filesystem, and some software to download dependent files and lay them out in the right way. It should be incredibly simple, and it should work on any operating system that supports those filesystems. And those filesystems should be simple enough to implement on any operating system!

It's literally, and exactly that. I'm not sure how it can be not what you're looking for.

Yeah, implementing a precise GC is a pain, but in Go the hard work of that is already done for you. If I were to write my own Lua-in-Go, my inclination would be to try to make an API something like this

table := lua.MakeTable()
table.Set(lua.MakeString("five"), lua.MakeNumber(5))

Rather than manipulating values on the stack. But it's possible there are reasons for not doing that that I'm unaware of. Was just curious.
FWIW, while scientists don't usually use kiloseconds, it's pretty common to see 1.437e4 seconds, rather than 3h 43min 20sec, used as units in time series etc. Similarly one uses milliseconds, femtoseconds, and soforth.

The two of you must have had a different experience than I. At least for my classes, fundamental stuff that hasn't changed in decades was taught in big lecture halls- single variable calculus, physics & chemistry 101, etc. Then as you advanced in your discipline, class sizes shrunk, all the way down to 5-10 pupils in some of the most specialized classes, which was where the close interaction with the teacher was most valuable.

Most undergraduate students aren't ready to participate in research. Of those that are intellectually prepared, few have the grit/persistence required.

More indirectly, few have any kind of serious investment in the research. In college I volunteered to help on a plant study. I was assigned to meticulously clean dirt from dried plant roots and weight each plant. For like four hours at a time. Thousands of specimens. It needed to be done, but I had no investment in the project aside from general excitement, so I just didn't care enough to suffer the drudgery week after week.
I think I'm missing the joke. Mind explaining it?
There are plenty of ways to spy besides email... Bing searches, for instance. I believe anything you type into the start menu is sent to Bing by default, so that could be more data than you think.

In open source world, this is fine. In the closed source world, this is one step closer towards walled garden.

I was talking about advanced tech like no. of gears, dual clutch (DCTs are essentially manual type trans - quick shifting - Europeans are leaders) etc.

There is a difference between durability (the Japanese are good at this) and innovativeness (U.S./EU are good at this) of transmissions. EU/US transmissions are mostly all 8+ gears (now 10) in torque converter type (conventional), EU lead in DCT (dual clutch transmission), Japanese are only just catching up to this.

Japanese are of course, market leaders in CVT (continuously variable trans), but these are not that well liked in EU/US markets because of the way they "feel," though getting better.

clients still make sense for users with multiple accounts. and modern clients only sync a subset of the db but still permit online search and retrieval. also for certain tasks the web clients aren't much better (gmails interface is garbage for working with multiple messages for example)

thunderbird suffers the issues the comment mentions above -- barfs with large dbs, no support for exchange, not sure if it even supports push notifications, etc

it should be noted that mail on mac works well and the win 10 mail app this article is all about works pretty well too, which is why its a travesty MS is going to ruin it.

My understanding was most of these issues came from setting permissions to "Everyone" and assuming an implied "with access to this aws account" that isn't there. I don't think it's people explicitly turning it to private. That said, it's a couple of years since I used AWS.
OT, but this!

I recently ordered a picture frame from Amazon. It came in its packaging box, which was placed in a box by the manufacturer. That box was put in another box by Amazon and shrink wrapped to a large piece of cardboard, which was then put inside yet another box.

Can't or won't? My experience has been that several people I know would rather stay in their comfort zone rather than learn something new. I'm not just talking about OSes here. I qualify this as a won't.

I suspect this reluctance to switch from the status quo might apply to a wider population than my acquaintances.

leni536’s answer is the real answer but I’ll give you another more meta one:

Because the SI system is redundant anyway one constant more or less doesn’t matter much.

If you want a truly minimalist system you can use CGM or MKS.
Yes. I like having software that is up to date and delivered direct from the developer. I like having portable applications that don't even need installation. I like being able to put applications on different disks. I like being able to have multiple versions of an application.

There is not a single package manager in existence for Linux that gives me these things.

China is funding like America of the 50s/60s.
It's really quite interesting how A16z is playing this. I've been following the types of content that they release -- and I think their vision is that the a16z brand can almost function as a consultancy with (not only) direct channels to the enterprise, but also deep technical knowledge of their problems. In the old world consultancies most of the money went to the partners -- but top engineers didn't get to rake in the profits.

In the modern world, top engineers can band together, raise VC funding, build some stupid app and get acqui-hired for 5-10x the salary. Huge discrepancies in comp.

The natural progression is that VC funds build channels and in-house expertise on technical problems in enterprise. Top engineers raise funding and are guided by partners towards solving these problems.

The new model is not that enterprises pay consultancies to solve problems, but instead, they form long standing trust based relationships with VC's who then fund companies that solve their problems (and profit when the companies profit). A big part of making this differentiation happen is releasing content that educates leaders and implementers within such enterprises.
