Just some clues: A class definition can not be split in many files (e.g. in C# you can do this easily with "partial class" declaration and that's amazing, needless to say you can and almost always do split one module (a namespace) into many flies there). Whatever you put in a separate file you will have to import manually everywhere you use it and you have to care about circular imports. You have to invent names all the time, a package, a module and a function having the same name smells a headache. The C# namespaces definition system could be made even better than it is already (i.e. by allowing class-free functions directly inside namespaces) but it already feels just so much better than Python "module = file" model.
POSIX stuff is terrible for this sort of thing, but luckily it's often a straightforward fix once you know to look for it. Here's a similar fix for the old Win32 version of the silver searcher: https://github.com/kjk/the_silver_searcher/pull/7

Looks like the active Windows port (https://github.com/k-takata/the_silver_searcher-win32) doesn't have this change, but it's possible Mingw32 or whatever exposes this flag itself now (as it probably should have done originally).

There is a lot more to it than that, there is merchant acquiring (merchant relationship with a payment services provider that gives merchants the credentials and equipment to accept payments), there are sometimes aggregators that transactions then funnel into. Next the transactions hit a network which acts as the router between acquirers and issuers (more on this later). The network can also act as a default stand in when the issuing bank is not reachable. From here the transaction goes into the issuing bank which runs a host of fraud and risk rules to answer the questions: 1. Should I authorize this? <- this is bank's prerogative and mostly deals with financial risk and 2. Can I authorize this? <- this is regulatory in nature and can be very binary and very binding. Its the the second question that also comes with binding regulations in some jurisdictions that prevent all parties along this chain from disclosing the reasons for declining, withholding funds or delay processing to affected parties. Even more interestingly, PayPal operates at most of these tiers almost entirely independently (PayPal API as the acquirer, PayPal as the aggregator, PayPal as the network of network AND of-course PayPal as the issuer with PayPal credit. Obviously not all transactions go through all tiers in case PayPal (a credit card transaction goes to card network and card issuer in the back for example) but Pay upon invoice, Bank transfers and PayPal credit (bill me later) are all examples of PayPal extending credit to buyer. Payments are quite fascinating, you are correct that a lot of issues are political but don't underestimate the complexity of the ecosystem, especially in global context. And I have not even gotten into bad faith actors and the war between good and bad guys yet.

I think you’re a bit confused here. Facebook isn’t “pushing” anything.

There’s a React team. I’m on that team. We develop React. Facebook uses it all over the place.

There’s also a Reason team. (Its creator also wrote React originally.) They work on Reason and its React bindings. Facebook uses it in some places.

We talk to the Reason team of course. But there has never been a plan to force all React users to use Reason. I don’t know where you heard that. If you like it, that’s cool. If not, that’s cool too. We’re just sharing what we use.

I’m not sure what your practical concerns are (are Reason bindings or TS typings not good enough?) but I’d like to hear them!

Of course I know “about” ML and TS. If I didn’t know about them I wouldn’t mention them. :-) I haven’t developed anything meaningful in either of them but it’s not like I’m clueless about what types are. I’ve been using C# for years.
The press release contained current and next years prices - 200$/kWh @ 8hr storage is the current cost of flow storage.

Its not really sensible to price 24hrs of li-on storage considering li-ons charge/discharge rate capability is fixed. There is no use for the capability to charge and discharge 24hours of power within a couple of hours, but you cant avoid buying it with li-on. With flow batteries you price the discharge rate and the capacity separately. This is why flow batteries should work out a fraction of the cost even at todays price.
Ok, so it's tangentially related. Even though it was meant in satire, it seems like something that a big telco would try to do.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. If GnuPG's handling of this incident is a "red herring", you certainly haven't explained how. Here, again, is the timeline of what actually happened during the Efail disclosure process:

http://flaked.sockpuppet.org/2018/05/16/a-unified-timeline.h...

"Partial disclosures" are problematic because people guess vulnerabilities from clues in the disclosure. But that's not what happened here. Instead, GnuPG appears to have (1) overly broken the embargo by circulating copies of the paper pre-release and (2) despite failing to honor the embargo, not even getting its own team access to the paper sufficient to fix the problem. Neither of those are problems due to "partial disclosure".
They say phishing is impossible and don’t immediately explain why? All kinds of alarm bells going off.
2Mt is two metric tons, right? It surely is not 2 million metric tons. See the IAEA's estimates of total radwaste in storage or disposal worldwide: http://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fue...

Because of the extremely high energy density of nuclear fuel, the amount of waste produced per Gigawatt-year of electricity generated is very small.

A Saturn V has a payload of 140 Mt to low earth orbit. Total high-level waste is 22,000 cubic meters, possibly 220,000 Mt, assuming a density 10 times as great as water. 1,572 Saturn V launches would carry away all of that. All the high-level waste ever produced that has not been recycled. Most of it can be recycled in breeder reactors, so there is no need to carry it away!
I guess if you understand the internal of a NN you can just write a paper to publish it.

I never had an issue w/ Descent's controls (IIRC, I had yaw and pitch on the joystick, left/right strafe on A/D, forward/reverse on W/S, roll on Q/E, and strafe up and down (rarely used) on tab and caps).

Once joysticks with a twist axis were a thing the twist became roll and up/down moved to Q/E).

Multiplayer Descent was _way_ more fun that DOOM, in my opinion (specifically because of the 6dof... you could sneak up on people from any direction).

> we mostly use debit cards these days

Which seems odd to me. Credit cards offer the advantages of points/cashback and more importantly the Consumer Credit Act, such that the card issuer is jointly liable for the goods. I only use my debit card to withdraw cash as the protections and incentives with my credit cards are much better.

Also your dunning-kruger is showing.

Simple answer to complex problems, outside science and engineering, are almost always wrong. The world is complex and naive answers are not sufficient, even if the subjectively make sense to you.

The guy is part of the establishment you're talking about: reason dominated the humankind for a few centuries and we are just now managing to converge to something better, while still being immersed in a reason-based society that is crumbling, leaving big voids filled by any kind of ideological scum because the post-reason is not here yet. But anyway, your conspiracy of philosophers against engineers has no root in reality and it's just fear of the complexity of the world.

Having 4 main companies (mastercard, visa, discover, and american express) doesn't make you a monopoly or cartel.

Obviously, they do have more market power than purely competitive environments but they do compete a lot on rewards which cut into the profitability of those interchange rates. I cannot find any source to measure the interchange fees - rewards profitability but I did find one that shows most of their profits don't come from those but instead interest rates [0] and I'd bet they don't make so much after the rewards (I get minimum 1% cash back on my cards and sometimes up to 5%).

Because, for most of these problems ... from the point-of-view of anyone with enough resources to solve them, they are non-problems and/or not severe enough for the solution to be worth the cost. While that remains true, there will never be any rational reason to solve them.
Interesting example of a place where a small but meaningful advantage in a manual application (reduced eye strain during visual inspection) leads to a larger, nearly insurmountable advantage in a world where the task has been largely automated thanks to preexisting R&D/economies of scale. I expect we will see more and more of this in the coming decades across multiple industries.

Anything else fit this pattern today?

I don't have a single book for you as that is a very broad theme, but honestly something textbook-y might be what you're looking for. Google for good surveys of American history. If you want to understand America as a world power, I would supplement a general textbook with some economic and military history. WW2 and the Cold War will be very important. A big factor in America's later dominance was the fact that so many other world powers were utterly devastated by the Second World War and could not maintain their former influence, so understanding the transformative half-century between the 1940s and 1990s will be key to answering your question. But I think you'll also be interested in the late 1800s (especially the post-Civil War period) as that is where you see some of America's industrial power really start to pick up. That's the era of major technological changes like the telegraph and railroads as well as the emergence of industrial powerhouses like Standard Oil.
At work? If you aren't good at something, but are really good at other things? they give the things you are terrible at to other people. In school? they make you spend all your time on that thing you are terrible at.

That’s very true. My last four jobs were supposedly for a “full stack developer”, but it didn’t take long for managers to realize that when I told them up front, my weakness was on the front end and any pages I design look like something you would see on Geocities was not an exaggeration. Once they realized I was telling the truth, they stopped assigning me front end work.

In high school, I was forced to take Art classes - hilarity ensued. I’ve never been in favor of participation trophies but the B I got was definitely a “participation grade”.

I learned Python long before touching anything like a lisp, and the closest thing to functional programming that I’d done before touching a lisp was R. All self-taught, usually in the service of something else I wanted to do. I have no formal training in CS.

And so my use of Racket is simply as a dilettante. And I LOVE it. I have a lot of imposter syndrome and not really grokking data structures the way CS people can tell you the tradeoffs and implementation details of a B-tree. But, I LOVE coding in Racket when I get the chance.

For me, it’s a language where I can jank-hack things together like Python, but having more fun. Wonder if that’s because I never had the fun of Racket sullied by also having to learn data structures and CS fundamentals at the same time?
i still really like this seeing it the second time around.

Not only are these differences not the high-order bit of programmer time, for most applications they're probably the lowest-order bit:

> So what do these numbers tell us? Basically, to process exactly the same code, you can either spend ~8 seconds, 24 seconds or 78 seconds. Your choice.

My choice is I don't care in the least about these differences, and would gladly take the 78 seconds if that slow language had slightly better syntax or was slightly more expressive.

If I were working on a google scale code base and the difference was an hour vs 2 days, I might care then. But for the vast majority of programmers and applications, that's not relevant.
I remember when I tried Atom when it was hype, others loved it but it felt so slow compared to SublimeText and InelliJ. I wrote off Electron apps right then and there.

Then VSCode came along and showed that it wasn't all Electron's fault, there's a right way to do it. With faster platforms what you get is the room to do things wrong (inefficiently) with hardly anyone noticing.
They are all good books, and none (outside the series') are order dependent. I tend to like longer books, so be warned! haha. Long books in long series? Sign me up!

If you are wanting to scratch a fantasy fix, you can't go wrong with Brandon Sanderson. He is really good at world building, and his books are very immersive. His 'The Stormlight Archive: The Way of Kings' is the first book in the Stormlight Archives, my favorite series of his. If you like to save the best for last, you could do his Mistborn series or Elantris to start.

If you are wanting science fiction, The Hyperion Cantos is my all time favorite series there. It is four books: Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, The Rise of Endymion.

Daemon and Freedom are shorter (as in, only two books in the series, and not too large each). So if you are wanting a bit less of an investment in listening, they are fun. It changed what I view as the hopeful future of AR by the second book.

But, really, all the books and series I listed are some of my top picks. I can go on. I enjoyed all of the Enderverse by Orson Scott Card, which has like 16 books with 3 to be announced (start with Ender's game, and go onto the speaker series, then the shadow series, and on from there). I enjoyed Jim Butcher's Dresden Files (kinda more young adult fantasy, but just fun) where the main character is a wizard detective in modern day Chicago. Jim Butcher's Codex Alera was decent too - a world where everyone has magic but the main character. The Wheel of Time series (some folks don't like the slow down in the middle of the series, but I still enjoyed it), and the list goes on!

Government doesn't tend to provide "easy to divorce services", it's a selection bias problem, not something inherent to public vs privately ran organizations.

Of course it's easier to change office supply vendors than it is to change water companies. Utilities tend to be government operated (or heavily regulated) because their nature makes a competitive market difficult.

That situation reversed again in the USA about twenty years ago.

The typical American situation today in 2018, is the poor live in inner-ring "old" suburbs, or the edge of the inner city. The middle class live in outer-ring "new" suburbs. The wealthy live in the heart of city, or in any part of the city dense enough to feel urban-ish (any 'gentrified' neighborhood).

> Children are not stakeholders because they have no power and their opinions are irrelevant

I think I see your point of view, but IMO that is too narrow a definition of "stakeholder".

One of the more commonly-accepted definitions of "stakeholder", at least from a project-management standpoint, would be:

"an individual, group, or organization, who may affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by a decision, activity, or outcome of a project"

Even in my work, I tend to think of stakeholders as those who stand to lose or gain based on the outcome -- literally, those who have a stake in the outcome. Many of them are active participants, but not always.

Just my 2 cents... I might be far from typical in this viewpoint.
