They were against anyone using technology to replace them by removing the education required to produce textiles.

Fundamentally, they were pissed off at how their years spent gaining education in an industry was made obsolete.

The Office online (onlie <sic>) (cr)applets will NEVER have feature parity with desktop equivalents. The online applets are intended for simple use only. They can read and do simple edits on files created in the "real" desktop applications without corrupting features they cannot edit.
.
They are essentially a "bait and switch" tactic. Get you used to using the simple applet, to "encourage" you to spend money to rent Office 365 (their preferred product). Like "Office 2010 Starter" that came "free" with some computers, for a short time.

If I am not mistaken, Houdini will allow similar features.

But it is still far away from standardization.

I had a cat I would torment (throw on the couch across a room, spin around) cause I was a young boy that didnt know better. That cat grew up never trusting me, but did learn to bite.

I'm not sure I'd be quite so blunt, but I do agree with your argument in the main: this is so low on the list of priorities that I can't help but wonder if someone at Trivago thinks they've run out of any actual revenue-generating development work.

It indicates to me that either the inmates are running the asylum - that devs are being given too much leeway to pursue personal interests - or (and?) that Trivago's day to day work is proving so dull that developers in some teams are inventing R&D work just to stay sane.
There's selection bias in your analysis. People who are attracted to big cities are more likely to enjoy the company of living with other people, and vice versa.

An automated fiduciary would be a huge boon, the robotic equivalent of a piggy bank. But it should be client side; it's role is to screen you from from being exploited by those who you do business with, including your bank.
Exactly. Allowing campaign contributions and failing to punish lobbying and post-term kickbacks fundamentally undermines possibility of a government actually representing it's citizens.

To all the Hacker News bringing up Luddites:

Why aren't there similar stories of people throwing rocks at Tesla vehicles?

Those vehicles are readily identifiable and have had safety issues from drivers using its cruise control as if it were autopilot. Moreover it's a goddamned battery on wheels which could put an enormous number of car service shops out of business. There are already laws in various states to keep Tesla out for that reason.

There could be a lot of reasons why someone throws rocks at a Waymo vehicle but also thinks Tesla is cool. Ludditism is not one of those reasons.
Like many words, it can be important to know its history.
> ... given the theory behind it, it should be perfectly reproducable. But then, I ask you, why the difference in sound?

Placebo effect. 100% guaranteed. It is literally impossible for digital audio signals to degrade in any way that even vaguely aligns with your descriptions. It is analogous to using a different brand of SD card to get richer, more vibrant colours out of your digital camera. It is analogous to changing the ethernet cable on your computer to make web pages more insightful.

Bits don't work that way.

Whereas the placebo effect is very real and very powerful.

Firewire is also a two-way packetized, error corrected protocol. If a cable was not delivering the signal reliably, the consequence would have been a lower maximum transmission rate, not error that could affect sound. If there was any change in the signal due to the cable, your Onyx interface could not maintain a stable connection with your computer and you'd get no sound at all.

Your attempt to describe how digital signals are transmitted is actually just plain wrong.

Furthermore, race conditions have absolutely no relevance to this discussion.

That's not a fair comparison at all. You seem to be under the impression that the law is always up to date with technology and the times. There is no precedent for self driving cars, and a lot of law has to be developed and precedent established before things start making sense in this context.

I need not state this, but self driving cars pose a danger quite different from airplanes.

In education there is the issue of teaching mendelian genetics without causing a massive stink when some of the kids show traits they couldn't get from both parents.

This is often solved by intentionally avoiding real examples and using contrived examples that are not mendelian like eye color.

> It takes him 17 hours to say a 3-syllable phrase 100k times. Expanding, it would take 468 hours, or 19.5 days to recite this prime.

How do you figure?

Let’s assume that a syllable equals saying the number 1, that’s 300,000 digits per 17 hours. 82,589,933 / 300k = ~275.3. 275 * 17hrs = 4,675hrs. That’s about 195 days, an order of magnitude higher.

I timed myself saying 1 at a clearly enunciated pace of about 180/min (could go faster, but wanted to see a reasonable speed clearly understandable). That would take about 90% of a year to do.

To be fair, we should separate what the protesters are protesting and what the reporter says is part of a general debate. NYT does not get to say why people are protesting, though it helps them drive a narrative if people reading the article can't tell the difference.

They deliberately conflate vandalism with general debate, and unfortunately it is then up to us to be smart enough to not lump them together like they did. The formula is usually to take shocking story/reaction, humanize it at a micro level, talk to so-called expert who may have written a book, have expert give general reasoning at a macro level, and then watch readers confuse micro and macro.
I'm leaning towards prinf/println too on Rust. I usually somewhat prefer debuggers, but I'll wait to get one set up until I find I need it. I haven't found myself wanting a debugger for Rust yet. Maybe the type checking is just that good that I don't have many bugs, maybe I'm writing enough tests for things that aren't type-checked well, maybe I haven't written anything complex enough yet. Whatever the cause, it works well enough for now.

I find myself wanting debuggers more on dynamic languages where you have no idea what object types you're handling or what their properties are. Printing the whole thing gets you a pile of mostly useless mush. A debugger lets you poke at parts of it until you find something that gives you some insight into the problem.

I'd also say that performance and threading problems are a different beast. Even when you have a beautiful debugger, it's not very helpful to stop one thread while you poke around at human speed. You gotta log info about what's happening somewhere and then examine it for clues after the run is done. It may take a few dozen runs to log the detail you need without gigabytes of useless mush, but that's just what it takes to get to the bottom of these types of issues.
Unless I’m missing something, your second example seems to be the one in the article.

Did the author change it?

Edit: just saw the comments on the article. Yes, she did.
People are going to say mean things to other people. This is never going to change.

I reject this premise. The social costs for abusing people like this need to be quite a lot higher. Right now it's virtually free and the internet is awash in trolls and malicious behavior. This is a novel situation caused by the confluence of effectively unlimited communication possibilities and we're in no way required to normalize its negative aspects.

One novel approach to rebalancing such costs would be to give the recipient of a credible-seeming threat license to attack the threatening party in proportion to the perceived severity of the threat. So people who credibly threaten others with murder, for example, would be making themselves a legally valid target for homicide.
> One way to make it work is to fire everyone and start from scratch.

OP here.

Now that you mention it, one of the engineers said to me a while ago that the whole team was afraid of that happening during the whole year.

In fact, that might have a lot to do with the lack of morale (despite that never being in the plans of upper-management - quite the opposite, there were a load of promotions).

But it is a solution, indeed.
Perhaps Blizzard was. Activision-Blizzard seems to have abandoned their virtues.
The work wouldn't stop, but people would continue to do the same things they know how to do. Friendly competition gives new ideas. Clang basically forced nicer error messages on GCC. Sanitizers started with clang and were ported to GCC.

Makes sense! I've definitely heard similar "whir" on many (most?) vehicles when reversing, but not quite the same as the incredibly distinctive sound an LLV makes. It's really an identifiable & unique sound on them specifically, probably just a certain gear/mechanical that's use for LLVs I figure.

Funny what sticks out so bluntly in one's memory, though! :)

> I've met guys who did work for someone in the US, who then turned around and said, "You want to get paid? Sue me!" Yes, brazen as that.

I don't see how that logic is responsive. Obviously "it happens" anywhere in the world. The point was about frequency. I mean, sure, fraud like that by a machine shop probably happens in the US, but in the US it's fraud, which is a crime, and people go to jail for it. (Not to mention the fact that a machine shop that tried this would be sued for at least the liquidation value of its equipment, which is not insubstantial). So it's rare.

In China it's so common it's become a meme. It happens all the time, so much so that there's a posited "trust process" that exists to counter it. But obviously (seriously, obviously) that process doesn't work as well, because fraud is common there and rare here.

That's just silly. The Rule of Law works better than palm greasing and back watching, and to argue otherwise is just ridiculous. (And in context, holding up the PRC as an example of a libertarian wonderland is hilariously so).

(And your culture point makes the same logical mistake in reverse, assuming that since one chinese woman told a white lie and her husband was truthful that you can extrapolate honesty to a whole population. Again, frequency matters!)

Not to detract from your general point, but curious whether you looked at Dgraph in your analysis. It's quite fast and was built for speed.

I liked the reference to the "String Handling Interpretive Translator".
If the court has interpreted federal law as requiring a university to take an action which disproportionately restricts the protected speech of students, I think that there are First Amendment implications to such a ruling.

That's just my non-expert opinion, but it seems that the Supreme Court took a similar view on proportionality in the case Packingham v. North Carolina. "Because the North Carolina law prohibited more speech than necessary to further the government’s significant interest, it violated the First Amendment."

I suspect this is going to be quite a painful thing to support. I’ve worked with IE6 in the past and even if you do get the app compatible, and get your CSS to render correctly, the JavaScript performance is dreadful. I used to find that our Dojo application when working at IBM would gradually get slower and slower without a page refresh.

I’d consider doing some static rendering from React components then fallback to a simpler client interaction. Alternatively let the client go and waste the engineering efforts of your competitor (I appreciate that may not be an option).
In all seriousness grab a text book, given how your career is shaping up you probably have the discipline to knock it out without a problem. I would also recommend "All of Statistics" for when you cross that bridge.

People protest for all sorts of reasons. bko's point is not relevant to every protester.
Several hundred? Yes. “Thousands”? Not very likely for most people to be plural thousands per year.
Funny how the Washington posts wakes up to this situation when Trump shut up the government. Maybe if they tried to look into this issue before Trump was elected it would improve the situation and prevent Trump from being elected which is strongly connected to the insecurities of American workers.

A "wall" does work very well in many places, it depends on the type of said wall and how it is doing its job, it could be a smart fence, it could be some other barrier, semantics is not the issue but the impact of illegal immigration on the US and on job related issues. But I don't expect a serious discussion on that by a propaganda machine owned by Bezos, the same person who is partially responsible to a lot of the problems in the modern economy.
Anyone can lose their job, do you want everyone to not have a kid if they don't have the 300k or whatever it costs already in the bank?

Even then, you could get ill, or someone could sue you. Boom, money gone, kid still on the way.
And it's not just graphs...as referenced in the linked comments above, there are now linear algebra models that encode Datalog and/or the entire typed-lambda calculus as linear algebra matrix operations (and as shown in the Datalog paper [1], the Datalog linear algebra implementation is the fastest Datalog implementation to date).

But MIT and Sandia Labs are taking the linear algebra model to the next level, and are now working on encoding an entire operating system in the language of linear algebra...

Jeremy Kepner (the head of MIT Lincoln Labs and GraphBLAS lead) and his team just published a paper [2] where they define an entire unix operating system using the same linear algebra model as they used for D4M/GraphBLAS. The linear-algebra OS model scales linearly way beyond the Linux limits, and since the entire OS kernel representation is defined as generic matrix transformations, it can run on any processor, including CPUs, GPUs, or a cluster of TPUs.

Is this because of the rubber drying out?

My understanding is that this is why tires need to be replaced after 5-6 years and are not safetiable thereafter. The dried out rubber is much harder than when it was first made and no longer grips the road as strongly.
Upkeep’s a killer. I kept having people tell me to buy in my 20’s, and I couldn’t fathom their logic. I could rent a 4 bedroom house for less than a mortgaged, let alone alone a mortgage plus upkeep. I kept doig the math, and I’d have to tie up a huge chunk of capital, and hope the house appreciated faster than upkeep costs, and that I didn’t piss away all gains again in realtor fees when I next needed to move. But really it’s the upkeep everyone kept ignoring in these conversations. $300/mo in my region is pretty standard, and no one would acknowledge how big this cost really was.

Rents finally started to skyrocket where I live, so buying finally made sense for us to try to lock in our housing exoense. But even then, the upkeep occassionally makes me wonder if I did the math right. Like can I put off buying a new roof another year? Or will that eat up my maintanence budget for the next couple years?
> Why aren't there similar stories of people throwing rocks at Tesla vehicles?

Public perception, editor choice, etc. If we were to point out every bit of hypocrisy that is determined by what stories NYT runs vs what they don't, we'd have really long posts.

> There could be a lot of reasons why someone throws rocks at a Waymo vehicle but also thinks Tesla is cool. Ludditism is not one of those reasons.

True. But there can also be lots of reasons why people are very upset at Tesla's approach towards auto pilot but thinks Waymo is doing the right thing. Or think they are both wrong. The presence of the articles alone are not enough to determine sentiment especially at such small numbers. Which is why closed-picture articles aren't fair to use to paint a picture much larger than the individual actors.
Holy shit! Thanks for the link
Sorry, do you travel?

Yes. 27 countries so far. And I traveled to the ends of the earth in a time before cell phones even existed.

Imagine a mystical time before phones - maybe it was your pocket translation dictionary that fell down the grate? You're out of luck in much the same way - unless you just go back inside and talk to the restaurant and have them send a cab, or call the hotel, or find someone on the street to help you out.

If my pocket translator fell down the grate, I'd still be able to hail a cab, point to a location on my paper map, and pay with cash. I've done it in Thailand, Japan, and Turkey. Probably other places I don't remember.

The point made repeatedly upstream is that the phone is a single point of failure, and eliminating the cash option in favor of a smartphone is a seriously bad idea.
With similar properties, but more disgusting:

Off topic, but wanted to reply regarding "The first page of my resume is my 10 years of non-career programming experience."

This must be part or most of the problem. Cut your resume down to 1 page, if possible. Include a meaningful cover letter catered to the opportunity and specific company youre applying to. Shove the last ten years stuff into the very end, and start that first page with your software knowledge and related projects. Ping me someday here if this ends up getting your foot in the door.
Quick back of the envelope calculation ($1300/month * 12 months/year * 12 years = $187,200) shows part of the problem - either college should not be necessary (we need a programmer's guild) or the cost of college is way too high.
Cheapest would be to tie Linus to a chair and make him work under strict security instead of creating some strategy to work around this.
