As all commercial transactions are literally called either credits or debits and the definition for debit according to Webster's

debit noun
Definition of debit (Entry 2 of 2)
1a : a record of an indebtedness
specifically : an entry on the left-hand side of an account constituting an addition to an expense or asset account or a deduction from a revenue, net worth, or liability account

I would say yes all transactions involved debt.
Windows performance is abysmal. Instead of beating around the bush, they should just state that it is the combination of everything that makes Windows dog slow compared to either Mac or Linux. Someone said it on that thread, but Windows really should be a DE on Linux now instead of being its own OS.
This is such a no-brainer for Microsoft to acquire.
Nobody is claiming that it is. The point is that single-digit growth is fine when you're big because they are percentages.

The 1000% growth when you're a startup does not exist when you're worth half a trillion.
FOSS simulators are almost totally useless; they can't handle mixed languages, they can't work with encrypted RTL (found in various Xilinx IP), and ones like Verilator are cycle simulators that don't even handle testbench code.

There's a very, very narrow niche where FOSS simulations are useful, and I'd wholly recommend against wasting your time with them.
Hey, there's a concept!

But, for companies that can't/won't (I consulted for one that wouldn't even hire professional BAs - they expected line staff to write the specs)... at least have the PMs and programmers go spend several hours in the client's dept. (around month-end is usually good) to get a feel for how things actually work.
Because I was curious, recommended specs (quick searching):

Wolf, 1992: 386, 4 MB memory, 8 MB disk

Doom, 1993: 486, 8 MB memory, 40 MB disk, Sound Blaster Pro/compatible

Q1, 1996: 75 MHz+, 32 MB memory, 128 MB disk, SBP/c, GeForce 6200 LE / Radeon Express 1200

Q2, 1997: 90 MHz+, 32 MB memory, 32 MB disk, SBP/c, 4x CD-ROM, GeForce 6200 LE / Rage 128 Ultra 16 MB

Which isn't to knock the awesome folks at id at all! Just, it was a heady time on both the hardware and software sides.
absolutely not. The US has some demographic issues. African americans have a very high infant mortality rate that is irrespective of socioeconomic class. African americans also have a very high teen murder rate.

Americans are very obese due to having a terrible diet and our heart disease kills more proportionally than our peer countries.

If you look at life expectancy of various ethnicities they are comparable to their countries of origin. If you look at life expectancy after 40 (where people are using medical care) the gap between the US and europe closes (but not completely).
A good thing is you are already, motivated to sit down and work on your side project.

I suffered from the same issue and the problem was, i lose focus really easily, so what helped me overcome this is for each session i take to work on my side project, i should first define a concrete and an achievable task, so for example if the side project i am working on requires me to use a library that i am not familiar with, the tasks that i will define are :

- find out which resources are recommended to learn this library, and pick the most recommended one.

- read sections A, B and C from the chosen resource.

- read sections D, E and F from the chosen resource.

...

And examples of programming tasks are :

- Create an Http end point that forwards requests to two configured hosts.

- Create the class that captures the Http Requests.

- Create a function IncomingHttpRequest => ForwardedHttpRequest.

- write tests for this function.

Do not be afraid to further decompose your task into sub-tasks, and to define really small tasks.

Other things that helped me :

- having a desk that i only use to work on my side project.

- meditation

- listening to podcasts when i am doing a task that does not require a lot of focus.
I downloaded the zip, both the unhinted and hinted files looks the same in the font previewer at least. Compared to Segoe UI both look quite blurry.

So I compared the lower-case alphabet in Wordpad (in Word all fonts look shit, way to go MS), and it seems the hinting is only applied to first four letters of the alphabet.

Tyk runs its own L7 engine, mainly around primitives provided by the Golang stdlib, IMO having full control over this part provides a lot more flexibility than sitting on top of someone else’s stack, bugs are faster to eke out and optimisation doesn’t rely on upstream code.

Why don’t you think medical care is a big factor? Do you have any logical reason or data to back that claim up? If what you think is right and family care is more important factor, then life expectancy would have been way higher in the past (which it wasn’t). Moreover countries like Bangladesh would be high in the life expectancy chart along with Singapore.

There is a 50% chance of winning exactly $1. There's a 25% chance of winning exactly $2. It sounds like you might be interpreting it to mean "at least $1" instead of "exactly $1".

So I'm coming at this from a social science perspective. Why did I say "not Rust"? I'm working on a research program to get at what happens when people engage with programming for the first time, aspects of language design that attract or repel learners, and as sort of a related offshoot, why smart women are so disproportionately less interested in programming.

One of my working hypotheses is that programming is terrible. More precisely, the majority of (smart) people who are introduced to programming have a terrible experience and do not pursue it. I think many smart people walk away thinking that it's stupid – that the design and workings of prevailing programming languages are absurd, tedious, and nonsensical. (Note that most men aren't interested in a programming career either. So it's not just smart women.)

Most intro to CS or programming courses seem to use Java these days. That's an unfortunate choice. To veteran programmers, Rust likely seems very different from other languages. Its default memory safety, ownership and borrowship and other features are innovative. (Though the amazing performance of Go's garbage collector seems to weaken the case for Rust's approach somewhat.) However, to new learners, I'm pretty sure Rust will be awful. It's fully traditional in its mass of punctuation noise, just saturated with bizarre (to outsiders) curly braces and semicolons. It also has, in my opinion, extremely unintuitive syntax. I see it as somewhat worse than Java in that respect.

Honestly, Rust is brilliant in more ways than one. I just think they punted on syntax and punctuation noise. I think our timeline is just weird and tragic when it comes to programming languages. They're almost all terrible and just so poorly designed. There's hardly any real scientific research on PL design from a human factors perspective, and what research there is is not applied by PL designers. PLs are just the result of some dude's preferences, and no one seems to be thinking outside of the box when it comes to PL design. In the end, to really make progress in computing and programming, we might need outsiders and non-programmers to design PLs. I'll say that the now-canceled Eve programming language project is a notable exception to the consistent horribleness of modern PLs. We need a few dozen Chris Grangers.

This article started out good but got pretty lazy toward the end. "This idea is stupid" is not a good description.

Also I think Elon is generally looking at problems we have (traffic congestion, expensive space travel, fossil fuel cars) and trying different things to fix them with his considerable funding. Why is this a problem?

"No one in the engineering community ever questioned whether it would be technically feasible to land a rocket booster on a barge."

Not to be pedantic, but it was technically impossible to land a rocket booster on a barge. SpaceX did the R&D to make it happen. They made it technically feasible by developing the technology for a task that was previously not technically feasible.
I'm pretty sure it's a safety issue. You can flare the natural gas, or you can collect it, if it's economic to do so, but you can't just let it accumulate in the general vicinity. Boom.

Healthcare is irrelevant. Mexicans and Cubans have horrible health care and live the same as Americans.

It boils down to inborn physiological health and lifestyle. Inborn in the sense that IQ is highly predictive of lifespan, because IQ highly correlates with overall physiological health. Singaporeans live a long time because Singapore is a genetic IQ meatgrinder. High IQ people move there and have zero kids.

Americans would clearly live a lot longer than they do if they spent less on healthcare. Healthcare is currently about 20% of USA GDP and we do no better than Mexico, which spends less than 9% of GDP on a much lower cost basis. Ergo, Americans could work four days a week, renounce health care, and live much longer than they do right now.
I see that a lot too. There are a lot of well-paid managers whose only role is to be middlemen between engineers, customers and other departments and they protect that role jealously.

I agree that some developer probably shouldn't be talking to customers but overall they should. I have had many occasions where we received a spec and after discussion with users quickly saw how we could meet their needs in a much simpler way than the middlemen had come up with.

This story seems to repeat itself over and over again. Businesses owning business is a better business than running a business itself. Somehow these companies manage to shuffle around enough assets that they remove themselves from any sort of responsibility or liability. And the government seems complicit in it all.

That said, if I was still betting on a pension today, I would be worried. Even if you manage to still have it intact by the time you retire, there is no guarantee it will last until you die. Even if the company is fine today, there is no telling if it will even exist in 10 years.

I know there have been corporate take overs as long as there have been corporations, but has this form of investment firm buyout always existed?

We need more endless wars and corrupt climate bureaucracies. Most of all, we need a society where health expectancy is declining, suicide rates increasing, and reliance on status and happiness is tied to the global overconsumption of stuff we dont even need to impress people we dont even like, in order to empower corporations and governments we despise. This is obviously sarcasm.
On the reusable boosters -- has Spacex released any information on what the inspection / refurbishment costs (and time) are for the ones that have been reused already (or is there any educated guesses)? Also, if they end up being highly reliably reusable, wouldn't that slow down the production of new boosters, thereby making them much more expensive to produce?

Ok, so, in addition to ‘static’ meaning either ‘local static’ or ‘private’, turns out we also have ‘at least.’ While I kinda understand the need to overload keywords, this still rubs the wrong way every time I see it. Well, I guess, if this is OK in a natural language (for a word to have several meanings; and in mathematics, too), it must be OK in a programming language...

And this is me saying this without ever having owned a product of his.

There's a bit of emotion in this post, but that's alright.
I am biased, but I spent almost half a decade building/designing systems for Healthcare. I had direct interaction with the users, the vendors and the actual go-live planning for a number of facilities.

Healthcare has a lot of issues, EPIC was a stone-walling garden, Siemens wanted to steal stuff, OpenVista was a non starter, Philips talked a big talk but never followed through, Not everyone was truly HL7 compliant, Users didnt believe on Apps on the iphone/ipod-touch as the screens were too small and the average age of users was ~57, The number of employees in a large hospital is in the thousands, Patient Entertainment systems were snake-oil-jokes, "medical grade" devices were a fraud, and selling into them at this time was a unique process for every hospital -- and while the users (clinical staff) really really want to (and do) provide good care, training 1,000+ Staff/Nurses on your new tech is very daunting.

Obviously we have made a ton of progress in tech in healthcare, but finding a way to consume more time with staff/processes can be a difficult problem to figure out access.

Silicon valley needs an actual research hospital for tech - if I were throwing my billionaire last name on SFGH/UCSF/Oakland etc's hospitals - I'd do a lot more than just buying the name of the building - seeking how to work together to make an SV research hospital happen in an innovative way.

(We had a fully integrated HL7 iphone app which could interact with OpenVista, and other systems like Vocera and Philips and Siemens systems. We had a channel to work with hospitals around here but the screen size and costs of providing handhelds to nurses were too high for 2007. YC Turned us down, Epic and Cerner would allow integrations... We opensourced it to Openvista.)

Teen homicide rate in US is less than 10 per 100,000. So if the 99,990 people live to be 75 and the 10 teens die at 13, teen homicide would lower the life expectancy from 75 to 74.9938. So teen homicide does not contribute any significance to life expectancy
True, it just depends how fast your next competitor is growing.
This article started out good but got pretty lazy toward the end.

It started getting lazy a lot sooner than the end. The "debunking" by pointing out that there are some destinations that are more than 30 minutes away? That's not the actual position they were presenting. There is a lot of the world's population which lives in a strategically drawn circle of that travel radius. They know full well that going halfway around will take a bit longer. Also, the issue of flying around bombs is already mitigated by SpaceX's current practices with reusable Falcon boosters. (Namely that on approach, the trajectory is designed such that everything has to go right for the booster to do other than land in the ocean. Also, by the time the ship gets to the end of a flight, it will be mostly empty, so the explosion risk will be much less than 20kt.) The fact that none of that is talked about indicates to me that this is a hit piece.

In that case, I would be out of place to assume you haven't experimented much with barefoot running :-)

> On uneven ground in a combat zone, littered with god knows what and where a broken ankle might mean death? Boots please.

That is a good point, tho I don't see boots making you faster , but I concede that the ankle support and steel toes would certainly be safer, and you're gonna be a lot slower with a broken ankle. So I still think barefoot you'd be faster, tho certainly less safe. If I were fleeing in battle, I might would rather gamble my safety for some speed, but it's probably highly situational. I suspect I've just wasted a lot of time analyzing a very unlikely scenario :-)
Here's a much more thorough look at SpaceX economics: https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/7lp52o/a_thorough_e...

tl;dr - Recoup on development costs is slow right now, but the post-development economics of rocket reuse are a big game change. Space shuttle comparison is flawed because both the nature of the system and the need for teardown were significantly impacted by being manned.

Comparing tunnels to planes is weird too - the target is an order of magnitude greater passenger throughput at a majorly reduced energy cost. The speed comparison is superficial.
On further thought, the subcode 'P' channel can be used to identify the start of each track, which I verified is present in the .mdf file, but I didn't find a way to convince mdf2iso to output a TOC/CUE or to convince cdda2wav or cdaparanoia to read from a file rather than a CD drive. So I made a utility to split a CDDA .mdf file into WAV files : https://github.com/matja/mdf2wav

The .mdf file probably also contains the subcode 'Q' channel , which can be used to identify the CD and get the track names using cddb (cdda2wav/cdparanoia can do this, but apparently only from a physical CD drive).
The logical conclusion is that Ruby shouldn’t exist because shakes fist those darn kids should write all programs in C instead.

If you like fountain pens enough to give them another shot, a couple suggestions:

> but I've ruined too much stuff with ink spills.

Try a pen with replaceable cartridges instead of an ink well. Pilot makes pens like this, and I'm sure other companies do as well.

> Also I burn through legal pads as scrap paper and I imagine I would get bad bleeding on that paper.

Yep, legal pad paper is pretty much the worst thing ever for fountain pens. I won't recommend specific brands because everybody has different tastes on paper, but spend some time on /r/fountainpens and you'll get several dozen options for paper that works great with fountain pen ink.
I would agree. IMO, I would argue that if you are in that situation, you should just wrap the array in a `struct`. It will work the same way, but now nobody can get the size wrong - the `struct` will always have an array of the correct length inside it. And as a bonus you can give it a good name.
