> Personally, I don’t nessisarily trust my future self to make great choices all the time, but if you do then don’t worry about this stuff.

I get that. It's a tough problem. What I wonder is whether my future self might make choices that seem bad now, and would seem bad to a guardian, but might make sense for me then. Or at least, would be what I wanted to do, then.

I am betting that I won't become more trusting as I get older. Or at least, that's not been the pattern, so far.

Up until MSDOS version 5, MSDOS was shipped with GW-BASIC. From MSDOS 5 onward it shipped with QBasic.

If you can create an assembler with batch files it should certainly be possible to create one with BASIC. :)

Hmm, interesting idea...

I've just switched from gmail to fastmail, and I'm not very impressed with Fastmail's iOS app (it's pretty slow to start / open / retrieve emails) or the lack of offline support it has.

TBH, other than the annoying ability to too easily swipe emails left and expose the Archive green button, I really liked the Gmail app - it was extremely fast and easy to use.

Anyone have any suggestions on a mail client for iOS? I can use the Apple one (and am doing currently), but I don't really get on with it for some reason...
Perl has never been about uniformity.

Perl is a great experiment in language design, or, rather, a battery of experiments. It's the opposite of a cleanly designed language.

You linked me to a study that eliminated the bottom quarter retrospectively. I too can make money if you let me ignore all my losing trades.
Fine, but don't you think companies should have some filter to choose candidates? In my company I interview often, and most candidates don't know how to code. Asking CS hw questions is a signal that predicts if they can code or not. If you're not a CS major it's ok but in general if you can't figure this question in 15 mins I don't want you to push code to my codebase. Some level of competence is ok. And I don't even work in a FAANG this is a random no name startup in Boston.

Oh Symphony was nothing like Slack. It was meant to be the Bloomberg IB killer[1]. You see, banks weren't happy paying 20k per user for chat. Turns out that the network effect is a thing and banks suck at building products, all Bloomberg had to do was sell Chat as a product and that was it [2].

Changing our infrastructure is a bit of a chicken and egg problem. But our infrastructure is rapidly changing. Charging stations are everywhere. Even in West Virginia. And we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg as far as changes to our infrastructure go. Yeah, our infrastructure is based on oil. But we're definitely not incapable of building out new infrastructure as needed. And when electric cars become more economical than gas cars over the next decade, the (debatable) fact that they're bad for family road trips and other specific applications won't matter. You can always rent a gas-powered vehicle if you need one, but owning one is going to become less and less efficient.
I recently audited our developer integration with slack, it's about 15-20 hooks. We estimated it would take us a few dev weeks max to replace them. The bigger cost is people's preference for a familiar tool and the gnashing of teeth. It's actually their nice webhook design and apis that make it easy to move. And no if you're reading this and know who I am we aren't considering replacing it, chillaxe.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I wonder: from my perspective, it seems that the trends in gmail have been towards a bulkier, slower design. And I hear tech friends complain similarly.

How does the Gmail team feel about it? It might be that the team thought that a heavier page with a mighty footprint delivers an overall better product. Or perhaps the team has an entirely different view?
It's not, though... WebAssembly doesn't really have all that much to do with js, any more than Flash or Java plugins would if they ended up being standardized instead. Every time there's a wasm thread it gets posted, but it misses the point of the talk to suggest that wasm is the prediction bearing fruit.

The talk is great, but I'd suggest that's the reason for the downvotes.

There's also a Python version of this[1], which starts with a discussion about Perl 6's equivalent of print, which is put. This makes no sense to me whatsoever, as print is both a much easier way to say it and _what was used in Perl 5_, but not my circus, not my monkeys. But then it goes on to say:

> There is also say, which behaves similarly, but will call the gist method of its argument.

And after having read the linked-to docs for say[2] and gist[3], I not only cannot understand what is being said, I have no idea how anyone else could, either.

2) https://docs.perl6.org/routine/say

It’s definitely possible that you couldn’t reach the speeds that they are with any kind of traditional heater cartridge. You need a lot of power directly on the filament to melt is at quickly as they are.

The laser penetrates the filament heating it internally instead of only heating the outer surface. It's near-infrared (808 nm) so it heats the small cylinder of filament essentially uniformly throughout its volume.

It's also nice because they can vary laser power much more effectively than you can vary the temperature of a conduction surface.

I use fastmail and on android my client of choice is Maildroid. In combination it is a amazing experience and much better for me than native gmail/mail client.
I've never used Perl6, but it took me about 30 seconds to figure out what 'say' and 'gist' do from the linked docs? 'gist' prints a string representation of an object aimed at being human-readable at the expense of not necessarily being a complete representation (e.g. the doc page gives an example that an array has only its first 100 elements printed followed by a '...'). 'say' is a version of 'put' that does this for every object being printed.

These are some really cool and novel developments at improving the speed of 3d printers. While some of these might take a while (or forever) to come to desktop 3d printers its great that advancements like these are being made to push 3d printing forward.

Planning to avoid a recession is impossible, so I guess a few days? Financial news is primarily written to generate clicks, and nothing does that better than fear. Remember that.

These conspiracy theories that they have some inside knowledge about a correction and are trying to get ahead of it happening need to stop.

The problem is that Uber is probably over-valued, and they want to get in before Lyft which has a much lower (and more reasonable) valuation to hopefully capture some of the market's ride-sharing euphoria before lyft takes and dissipates it all, forcing uber to take a lower valuation and make their investors unhapy.

Well, maybe since more than 5 years ago, I have read thousands of reports, warnings, and complaints filed by people about scam calls on the internet and TV, like social media, sites like http://whycall.me, etc. It's sad to know that there are still many people fall victim to these fraudsters now. We need to keep informing people about these scams, especially our family, so that they won't become one of the victims.

Also, even though Taligent was a monumental disaster, it wasn't all bad. There is a lot of stuff you use every day that came directly out of Taligent's work. For instance, the i18n libraries for Java and ICU (http://site.icu-project.org/design/cpp) were early important work. A lot of unicode came from Taligent's work (but not all of it), and the President of the Unicode Consortium, Mark Davis, did a lot of the formative work at Taligent. So at the end of the day you can thank (or blame) Taligent for emojis.

Taligent also had quite a bit of influence on the field of unit testing, which I'm proud to have had a hand in. I've written about this in the past: https://shebanator.com/2007/08/21/a-brief-history-of-test-fr...

To be fair this is the toxic way scientists gets funded. You are forced to publish or die. So if you just sit and do research and not publish (even though your research is not finished)you are done for. The institution you are in will force you to publish or force you out if you don't abide by these shitty rules.
So, I sort of took that away from it, but there's stuff in the gist page like:

> The default gist method in Mu re-dispatches to the perl method for defined invocants, and returns the type name in parenthesis for type object invocants. Many built-in classes override the case of instances to something more specific that may truncate output.

And I have no idea how anyone that isn't already fluent in Perl 6 is expected to read that.

EDIT: My point is mostly that it just seems... weird. Like, I get the animating idea of Haskell, even if I don't understand all of the concepts. Perl 6 just seems... alien. It's incredibly funky.

There is a distinction between domestication and permanent indoor confinement. Horses are domesticated and so are dogs, donkeys, cows and cats. Just because some of them are of a convenient size to be kept indoors at all times or tied to a string to be paraded around an urban does not mean that it is in the best interest of the animal to do so.

From your comment it seem that you imagine an animal is either confined to indoors with occasional walks or they are feral. Keeping a domesticated animal is normal. Keeping an animal locked in your house or on a leash at all times is weird. Dogs and cats need open space to run and explore. If you want to keep an animal in a way that contradicts their nature, fine. Just don't lie to yourself about adapting to your lifestyle to their needs. You are adapting their lifestyle to your ego.

I've got a design for a printer that should be about 10,000 times faster than this.

It's really a game of data transfer speed. How fast can you transfer information about solid vs non-solid into space?

The velocity and acceleration of that printer is very impressive, but maxing out the movement speed of a single physical nozzle is not going to get us where we need to be in the future.

Imagine our universe is contained within a blackhole.

If time and space invert at the event horizon, could it be that the Big Bang was the event horizon of our black hole, that we are forced forward through time by the pull of our black hole interior, and that the expansion of the universe is actually just metatime passing, and as we move through space we are actually moving forward and back in metatime, with the expansion of our universe being an expression of increasing constraints due to metatime’s metaspace as we get closer to the center of our blackhole?

Pricing them at 12X net revenue out the gate is pretty aggressive to say the least. Especially when their margins were -60% back in 2016 and in late 2018, and if anything they've gotten worse with the recent price drops. [1, 2] It's not fair to compare them to the negative margins enjoyed by other tech companies as most software companies are zero-marginal-cost businesses. It's far from clear to me that people would pay the double price per ride it would take to break even.

A few years ago, if I'm not mistaken, they even switched to counting the entire value of an Uber Pool/Express Pool ride as net revenue (something they don't do with their core product offerings) muddying the water. Does anyone know if that's changed? [3]

$120B would price them at the same net revenue multiple as Square ($2.21B/yr @ 25B market cap) while Square has much, much better margins (0% vs -60%) - and is itself widely regarded as not being a cheap buy.

Instead of "ad hoc", think of it as a multi-paradigm language.

From that viewpoint, I think there is a fair bit of beauty in being able to pick and choose your approach based on the problem at hand without worrying if that is an idiomatic choice dictated by language designers. P6 goes to great lengths to give you all the expressiveness you could hope for, regardless if you are doing functional, OOP, or dealing with concurrency etc...
It's not just that. Candidates can be perfectly capable and qualified, but have work style, or even values, that don't align with the company.

In the 6 months from October 2017 to April 2017, the San Francisco housing market was a couple thousand units, per the MLS [0]. Lyft and Uber each have thousands of headquarters employees.
