I'm guessing floor tiles/fake stone benchtops. Huge market that would require a lot of glitter and it's not something you initially think would contain glitter. The expensive fake stone benchtops would feel "cheaper" if you knew that it was just glitter making them look good.
Epic has its own 1st party libraries! but you're still dealing with MUMPS so a lot of code looks just like this stuff in VistA:

https://code.osehra.org/gitweb/?p=VistA-M.git;a=blob;f=Packa...

and lines like this (from VistA) which is, I believe, doing some sort of string parsing.
S PSRT=$S($P($P(BPSORT,U,1),":")="N":PATNAME,$P($P(BPSORT,U,1),":")="P":PINS,$P($P(BPSORT,U,1),":")="S":$S('BPCRON:-DOS,1:DOS),1:BPDIV(BPDIV))

I remember stumbling across code for implementing SHA1. Of course, MUMPS has no builtin code for bitwise operations so there was some code built for it that looked like

switch(operation, operandA, operandB) {
case 1: //AND
{{AND A and B}}
case 2: // OR
{{OR A and B}}
...
}

which manually implemented bitwise operations using integer arithmetic

For sure agree with this—letting your employees get a (very small) windfall themselves might make it easier for them to justify hard work and (potentially) lower pay. It also just shows you really care about your employees.
This is my current go to solution. It does require the collaborators to also have it installed
Okay, I’m going to be a little bit far out there. A lot of this seems to be grounded in the negative. “How to deal with x” how to “do y when z has failed”. Some of it technical and some of it interpersonal. Why have we created this sphere around programming? What makes /this/ profession so different from any other? And my believe is: nothing. It’s not hard. It’s not better. It won’t “eat the world”. Heck it probably didn’t make that much of a difference in the grand scheme. It’s just sitting on your ass and either do as you’re told or come up with something better, like 90% of all work. Software is just like any other job, and chances are it is completely stupid like most other desk jobs out there. And if not, the same general skills apply. Stop feeling like it is difficult or even special.
Let's rephrase: the real work happens in the office, but during informal meetings many underlying motives and decision drivers become visible, so such times allow a deep insight into how a business works

It's the lens through which I see religion in general. I used to reject it when I was younger in the authority-challenging phase, but now I realize that every religion is correct in the context of the society from which it was birthed:

Shiva is the Hindu deity and has several pairs of arms, therefore Indian culture values multitasking or a citizen having many skills using the hands.

Thor was a god of the Vikings and wielded the large hammer - therefore weapon and armor-smithing were highly valued skills that drove economic resilience (in a time when a considerable part of the economy was moving pillaged goods). Hammer could mean building things in general.

Christians have streets of gold when they get to heaven - therefore Roman society valued infrastructure.

Every god is a metaphor for a hive-mind of people.

The C++ standard has nothing to do with these, and you won’t find a mention of them at all in the text of the standard. The standard defines an abstract virtual machine for running C++ code, and it lays out the guidelines for what compilers are allowed to do with regards to the optimizations you mentioned.
Why does it matter if Goldman Sachs doesn't do jack for average people? Neither does SpaceX, or Virgin Galactic, or Tesla Motors. Companies specialize in whatever field they want, and some make the conscious decision to cater to a certain clientele.
I agree. The "flexibility" of being able to operate on a subset of the container was never a good argument, because you could trivially make a "view"/slice template type to fake begin/end to any pair of iterators.

Make the common case short and the uncommon case possible.

There are many more airports that have an RNAV GPS/GNSS approach procedure, than ILS. ILS requires expensive ground equipment, and fairly low obstruction clearance for miles surrounding the airport. I expect RNAV GNSS is used with some frequency at even big airports like Gatwick, on days when conditions don't require ILS in particular when the ILS is out of service for planned maintenance.

Example RNAV GNSS for Gatwick:

The only valuable content are the answers, some that have taken hours to write and kept up to date by passionate folks who are willing to share their expertise and knowledge.

They don't pay for answers though, and this is making writers turn into unpaid workers generating money for spammers who just post questions all day. Many writers I know have stopped because there is no upside.
I dunno. I’ve noticed my feed now contains more and more ads.

And posts out of order. And posts on repeat.

Well, the other language you can work in at Epic is Visual Basic 6, which powers the backend of the patient portal. Newer features are in C#, but anything developed before a few years ago (which are the core features) is all in VB6. Not VB.NET (unless it's changed since I worked there), actual honest to god VB6 plugged into IIS.

It's a lot like PHP, in that everything is performed by string concatenation, except that unlike PHP the language was EOLed in 2003.
There is a wide difference between code that is pretty and code that is careful and written in a way that will not lead you astray. And if you don't know or don't care to make that distinction I am not interested in your opinion.

More likely, they were the result of brokering agreements between officials: you give me this, I give you that. When everyone answers to you, moving some land from Commissar X to Commissar Y (as a prize or punishment) is just business.

Ranges unify C arrays and C++ standard library types in a rather elegant, general purpose way. Though, I’m still of the opinion that every function that takes a range should also be overloaded to operate on the whole container as well (and my personal C++ “library” does this already).
He's a genius but I think he's getting bitter about how people are happily sticking with static strongly typed languages. At the end of the day he's trying to sell people on using Clojure, so of course he's going to rip on other languages.
VC demands for growth. It could've remained an independent high-quality site since it really doesn't take much to run, but raising $226 million requires a return.

> If everyone buries their head in the sand or only considers domestic issues, we don’t really have democracy.

Much of your post I at least kind of agree with, but that's the real sticking point. Democracy means that the people have the policies that they want, whether or not it agrees with what you or I think would be a good thing. If you don't agree with them, you can try to convince them otherwise, but you don't get to say that it isn't a "real Democracy" if they don't go your way.

It's all well and good to say that any genocide of anybody anywhere is bad, and we always oppose it, but what's to be done? Grandstanding about it in international bodies may feel good, but is often ineffective. Economic sanctions sometimes work, but are often costly and can push nations into the arms of our rivals. Military action works, in a sense, but is massively expensive in money and lives and often makes the situation worse in a different way.

It's a dark thought, but I sometimes think the Nazi's real mistake was to do a genocide and a massive war of aggression at the same time. The world has collectively said "meh" at quite a few genocides, as long as the country involved wasn't actively trying to conquer everything they could touch at the same time. It also led to the seemingly absurd situation in the main post here - when a country you're actively at war with is doing these things, there's not much you can do to stop them besides win the conventional war as quickly as possible, which you're already trying to do. It makes you wonder if publicizing it at the time is worth the effort. Maybe it would get a few neutral countries to swing further your way, but who's still neutral at that point?
Exactly this. I used to love writing long-form answers but they would get shoved out of the way with either meme-filled images, copy/pasted nonsense from the web, or a few writers who have no idea on the subject but have a large following that upvotes everything including joke answers.

There's also seemingly no effort spent on stopping spam even with blatant examples reported many times. It's crazy to see questions get paid thousands while being a Top Writer means I get the opportunity to buy their merchandise.

I agree with you. Many of the popular writers seem interested in internet points.

Many of the answers have the same storytime format. The writer takes us back in time, introduces a concept that on first inspection seems wrong, and eventually gives us an example of why it is correct by using an example of someone else's misfortune.

Any change analyzed in a vacuum is risky. The trick is to compare it to the alternative, and see if it is more risky. The alternative to GMO is applying random mutations, and then selecting a strain that has the behavior we want. This has much higher risk than changing only what we need, since many other components could be changed at the same time too, and each of them also have these many interactions.

Honestly, Taleb should stick with what he knows: finance. In other fields I trust his opinion about as much as I would any other Wall Street banker.

Pretty good read. Liked this quote:

> Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya once recalled his work with Facebook this way: “We trumpeted [our platform] like it was some hot-shit big deal. And I remember when we raised money from Bill Gates…And Gates said something along the lines of, ‘That’s a crock of shit. This isn’t a ‘platform.’ A platform is when the economic value of everybody that uses it exceeds the value of the company that creates it. Then it’s a platform.’” The brilliant Microsoft founder knew that his own Windows operating system was a true platform because, as Microsoft openly bragged, the company itself captured only a minority of the value created through the Windows ecosystem. Facebook, YouTube and Google are in a completely different category—because the vast majority of the wealth they generate is controlled by the social-media oligopolies themselves. They aren’t platforms so much as rent-seeking agents that oversee a set of critical economic protocols.
Yes, but you can compare the cost of car ownership in NYC versus the cost of relying on the subway. I think the fact that New Yorkers think the L line closure is so momentous belies the idea that they would prefer to eliminate their "government subsidized" subway and all buy cars.

> But if you measure dollar spent per passenger mile traveled, the MTA is incredibly expensive.

Incredibly expensive compared to what? The article explicitly claims that public transportation like the MTA is the most effective way to transport large numbers of people around a dense city. I haven't seen anything in your multiple comments that suggests differently, other than a throwaway reference to Dallas (a city whose metropolitan area has a third of the population in a larger land area) and repeated suggestions that the subway is somehow bad because it is publicly funded.

I would love to see actual data that private transportation (whether Uber, Lyfts, taxis, shuttles, charter buses, etc.) are more effective or efficient that their public counterparts. I don't think that your complaints about the MTA are properly engaging with the article's thesis.
Complexity can be managed, but the required domain knowledge is hard to design around. The problem my colleagues struggle with is the domain knowledge I have that they don't. The positive from this is there are few people in the world that can do my job :)

Seriously? You think that transcript was typed while carrying on the conversation?

I seriously doubt that. Seriously doubt it ... as I re-read the transcript it doesn't seem even remotely plausible.
I know I'm not going to make a lot of friends with this opinion, but this is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with modern C++.

Seriously who, except for a small circle of academics, actually believes that this is good, readable, concise, maintainable code? Who asked for this?

When I read

inline constexpr auto for_each = []<
Range R,
Iterator I = iterator_t<R>,
IndirectUnaryInvocable<I> Fun>(R&& r, Fun fun)
requires Range<indirect_result_t<Fun, I>> {
return std::forward<R>(r)
| view::transform(std::move(fun))
| view::join;
};

I can't help but being reminded of Java [1][2].

Meanwhile it's 2019 and C++ coders are still

- Waiting for Cross-Platform standardized SIMD vector datatypes

- Using nonstandard extensions, libraries or home-baked solutions to run computations in parallel on many cores or on different processors than the CPU

- Debugging cross-platform code using couts, cerrs and printfs

- Forced to use boost for even quite elementary operations on std::strings.

Yes, some of these things are hard to fix and require collaboration among real people and real companies. And yes, it's a lot easier to bury your head in the soft academic sand and come up with some new interesting toy feature. It's like the committee has given up.

Started coding C++ when I was 14 -- 20 years ago.

This is kinda true in theory, but about as far from the truth as you can be in practice. Zero-overhead abstraction is a core part of the language's philosophy, and that means features are designed to be translated to "efficient" machine code. If nobody believed that optimising compilers could wring something decent out of these features they wouldn't have been standardised.

You can also stop kissing ass and start your own thing, making mistakes is part of the process, you learn by doing, not by "shadowing" someone successful. Just be a human being , if is your job to br the guy's assistant and you like this kind of role, enjoy! But if what you want is to become someone like him, go out and do crap. Your naivety is your greater weapon. Just be a human being , no someone's pet/servant.
Open source is great. I'm a maintainer for a pretty large open-source project, so I'm clearly not opposed to the idea, but it not a solution for something like basic electrical engineering or materials science research. Prizes just don't seem to work that well either. As you say, incentives take many forms. Every form that they take adds to the amount of R&D that gets done, and "we're gonna make a ton of money off this" is responsible for the largest single slice of that pie. When you take away protection for inventors, you practically guarantee that the fruits of their labor will go to the people who already own the big production lines and supply chains. That's a really terrible way to run an innovation economy.

I'd be interested in knowing the thought process/analytics that inspired the idea to pay for questions, and not (highly-upvoted) answers? My main reason for joining Quora was that it seemed to be the social network that Dave Baggett [0] (at the time) was actively using.

Sometimes "atrocities" should be disbelieved, though.

Consider the most recent Syrian "nerve gas attacks". Politicians said they were "sure", launched airstrikes, pulled the remaining diplomats from the region. Then the only actually trustworthy body, OPCW, released the report in which it said, I quote: "no organophosphorus nerve agents or their degradation products were detected" (don't believe me? Google the exact quote). If sarin were actually used, those degradation products would be at detectable levels for many years.

Chlorine residue _was_ found, but the position of the bodies on the scene is inconsistent with chlorine poisoning, suggesting that the bodies might have been moved to suggest they died of a nerve agent (i.e. fell to the ground where they stood, rather than ran to the windows gasping for air). The delivery mechanism is also unclear, there are undamaged chlorine cylinders found at the scene, suggesting that it wasn't launched from a distance.

So we've been blatantly lied to by politicians and the press yet again in order to manufacture consent. This was mostly ignored by the public. This is not the first time this has been done, either. See e.g. Iraq "WMDs", and the current darling of the liberal establishment, Robert Mueller, deliberately lying to Congress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTDO-kuOGTQ. I say "deliberately" because no "evidence" could have been presented to him, because none existed.

> One of those accounts uses a different name for him

I think you are probably remembering a (disputed) claim based on an edit made in a particular later copy that Tacitus (one of the earliest independent sources on both Christ and the early Christian community, particularly in Rome) referred to the Christian community in Rome as “Chrestians”, immediately before using the standard rendering of Jesus title as “Christus”. Even if Tacitus did use “Chrestians”, that name for the early community is attested in other sources (and even tied and used alongside Christian in some inscriptions from that community, IIRC), his reference to Christ did not use any alternate title,
Illegal drone operations are similar to running a charity to commit fraud. The primary mode of operation is the honor system, not having a bunch of agents ready to stop criminal activity the instant it happens. But now that it's happening, the central motivation is to capture the perpetrator. That's a necessity to show there isn't some government conspiracy to expand power, that someone really did urinate in the swimming pool, and show the seriousness of the consequences.

This isn't a case of larceny, it's wholesale asset and trust destruction. There's millions of pounds of costs associated with this event that cannot be recovered from the perpetrators. So throwing the book at them, however overcriminalized it might end up being, is going to be the main means of deterring future events. And that's because we don't have a drone police force, yet, to nearly instantly apprehend drones coming into an airport's perimeter. What are we going to do, deploy such things for thousands of airports? You really want people to be incentivized to adhere to the honor system, even if it's a coercive disincentive that you're going to lose your freedom if you decide to piss in the pool in this manner.
