I'm disappointed that the article didn't explore another perspective on Milton's Satan, which is that the "Devil's party" is deliberately cast as more appealing than the virtuous one. Milton's point is that sin is exciting and enticing, while being principled takes hard work and dedication - as in the parable of the wide and narrow paths to salvation. Satan's rhetoric about democracy is insincere since what he really wants is tyranny and chaos, and the poem emphasises how humans need the aptitude to be able to recognise and reject such false language.

Of course Romantic poets brought a different, more familiar set of values to their reading of Paradise Lost, but I think it is more enlightening to understand the poem within the world in which it was written, and appreciate the depth of Milton's commitment to Puritan and Republican ideals even if aspects of them seem alien to the modern reader.
> I'm also dubious about college as a proxy for skill, in the skilled labour sense. A lot of college is very general education, with even less focus on marketable skills than high school.

At one time there was an argument that general skills had value. We as a society have become super specialized and those general skills relatively ubiquitous that those general skills aren't terribly valued any more. Your employer doesn't care if you understand Cartesian philosophy or having an understanding of classical rhetoric, they just want to see you spent 4 years learning accounting/law/human resources because those are the skills that's required.

This may also be why our leaders have gone from
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
to
"We love winners. We love winners. Winners are winners."
in the last century.

> The fact that other countries manage to be outside the EU and do just fine.

1991: "Russia needn't worry, lots of countries have market economies and do just fine."

As though the structure of the British economy and trade activity hasn't been shaped by decades of EU membership.

Things won't be as they were in 90s Russia, but living standards will drop once exports are priced with WTO tariffs, and ditto for imports.
Correct. In the US the required capital reserve is expressed in terms of daily net transaction amount. Wikipedia has a good breakdown[1], but for large banks the Fed requires 10% of NTA to be swept into the bank's Fed account overnight. There are also capitalization requirements for all banks, which are more stringent for nationally important "too big to fail" banks and bank-like entities.

Fair enough.

If you have experience, what would be the rebutal to my fear of the "catch-22" ?

What I mean is, how often does it happen that you think about a problem right, but fail to transcribe that in a formal method, you gives you either too much confidence in a model that does not work, or makes you feel you have wasted your time on mental self-molesting ?

How do you approach "experimenting" with formal methods to avoid this risk ?
> both restaurants and grocery chains co-opted the idea of meal kits and then had the built in neighborhood loyalty.

This is the big thing. I can walk into a Stop and Shop or an ACME or a Shopright and buy a meal kit on my way home, and they usually have a decent selection. They aren't gormet, but they are fit for human consumption ;).

I can just throw it all into a skillet, saucepan/pot, or an instant pot and have it done in 30 minutes without chopping/dicing/slicing.

It feels like an alien world moving into the Smalltalk live environments and the patterns I've built up over the years and tools like Vim, etc are indispensable when it comes to moving around and modifying code. Of all the reading I've done on it, the entirety of the language is contained inside images. I know that the Pharo guys have engineered this marvel, and I think it's on the verge of a breakthrough with a lot of people if they can ease into it somehow.
That's actually very readable. I'm now regretting that I hadn't seen this about 3 months ago--I recently left a project that had a large number of shell scripts I had written or maintained for my team.

Maybe that's a good thing and something that these companies should push for? Maybe they already do? Sell it as a service for three months, one up front price, one'ish meal a day that you prepare and cook with the idea that this is a learning activity rather than following strict directions or assembly. As you move further through your cooking education the meals become more complex. I would think you could charge more for this while having better/more ingredients and having a smaller customer base.

Why the downvotes? is there anything wrong in my question? I read the webpage and the answer is nowhere (at least I could not find it), and looking at the docs is not so easy to find this information, it seems that I have to get deep in a chapter of a book or a video in order to find out whether this tool has anything to do with my work, tool or area at all.

Does it compile to other platforms? Binary code, compile to C, to LLVM? Does it compile to other VMs like Java and it is compatible with javascript engines? For me this is a basic aspect of a language.
IMO as someone who works on games, developers will come along with high quality Linux builds when there are a significant number of users that demand it. I think anyone who's doing a Linux port now is doing it out of the goodness of their hearts and not as an economic decision. It doesn't matter if you're using an engine that already supports Linux, it's still extra work to develop and test, and it's still more support issues that (in the current market) you are very unlikely to make back in additional sales. I'm certain most Linux gamers also have Windows installs, so while they might complain about having to dual-boot, they still do it.

If Proton bridges the gap to the point where people are 1) more willing to be on Linux and 2) less willing to deal with dual-booting for the few games that don't work without it, then maybe the number of Linux-exclusive gamers will grow. That's when you'd see significant attention paid to proper Linux builds. (There are of course other impediments to people switching over to Linux full-time besides games support, so I don't think the Year of Desktop Linux is quite imminent yet.)
> So what’s to be done in order to help mid-skilled and non-college workers live decent, middle-class lives? ... build lots more housing in cities, driving down rents and making cities more livable for everyone.

This is a nice idea in theory, but isn't this a temporary fix? For the first five years, housing prices will lower. But as more companies (demanding higher-educated individuals) realize more people are available, those companies will increase their staff or start new companies.

So five years later, we are back to where it started.

Timothy Geithner's book "Stress Test" does a great job of explaining this, IMO. The trouble with derivatives is that they are contractually bound to reflect some price that is locked to the price of a primary asset. If the derivatives are linked to the price of a security, which is in itself linked to a certain risk-bundle of assets (e.g. the AAA rated CDO with the most senior debt) then it was not exactly clear what happened to the derivative, because it wasn't clear whether people were going to make their payments on their mortgages, or whether the derivative counterparties could pay. The market responses was to try to sell all the derivatives, rather than wait to see what they'd be worth. Effectively, the liquidity which those derivatives and CDOs had prior to the crisis disappeared entirely, which meant that their true value fell much faster than it really should of since people were selling at a discount just to get them off their balance sheets.
> They can wait you out.

Sure, but git repo hosting is a commodity, unlike, say, controlling the Java ecosystem. The full code and history is maintained on all developer machines (at least for the master branch), and the metadata like issues, PRs etc. can be easily migrated off to GitLab.
> maybe we establish an abstracted platform that they target and then each respective platform can support that?

> Good thing Danish doesn't have A through F, or you wouldn't be able to stomach hexadecimal.]

Hexadecimal requires being able to identify 'A', 'B' etc. as 'A', 'B' etc. It happens that they're assigned a different value/function then for their alphabetic use. The point is that there isn't another numerical symbol that is easily confusable with 'A'. (Of course there's l33t '4', but the two symbols are pretty distinct in most typefaces.)

tldr; Being able to be used to represent a numeric value isn't the same thing as being easily confused for a different symbol, with a different value that also represents a numeric value.
This whole thing has been scrutinized for years. A quick read shows that people that play the game, get better at... playing the game. Whoda thunk? Also, a private company gets to sop up profits from something created by public money. Boo.

"My understanding is that it's possible (albeit staggeringly unlikely) for any possible structure, including living beings, to spontaneously form via quantum fluctuation, and given infinite time and space every possible structure will spontaneously generate."

That was exactly my perception, specially given infinite time, not to mention space, so here is Infinite squared, or Infinite x Infinite, because there are two Infinite fields of possibilities.

Off course I didn't have any Idea about the existence of Quantum Fluctuation, just was my intuitive perception. And thank you for teaching me about It's existence.

It ultimately comes down to trust. Some people lost trust in GitHub because of the acquisition. With Microsoft still aggressively pushing IE and Bing through their products, I can see why.

Now that Microsoft is moving from selling products to selling cloud services, developer trust is becoming one of its main currencies. Microsoft is trying hard to regain that trust.
In the short term yes, but in the long term it will benefit them too. If there is less work to be done in the world, then everyone will work less on average.

I firmly believe that one of two things will eventually happen:

• We will find new industries which replace the old jobs. Companies in these industries will by necessity find ways to fill positions, either by paying enough that (even) more people can afford college, or by providing on-the-job training, etc.

• Society will reach a point where it no longer makes sense for so much of the population to be in the workforce. We will need some form of Universal Basic Income to allow people who choose not to work to still live. The amount of money distributed would be set according to the number of workers needed—we'd raise the UBI when there's too many workers, and lower the UBI when there's too few.
==I really enjoyed college, especially my liberal arts classes.==

I think this highlights the true question. Do colleges exist to promote education and intellectual curiosity or to train workers?

According to PEW, Americans believe colleges are for work training:

"Americans are split on the main purpose of college, with 47% saying it is to teach work-related skills and 39% saying it is to help a student grow personally and intellectually."

Others have show languages have some kind of pipe support, but not exactly as the shell.

The shell have the weird(?) behavior of ONE input and TWO outputs (stdout, stderr).

Also, can redirect in both directions. I think a language to be alike pipes, it need each function to be alike:

fun open(...) -> Result(Ok,Err)

and have the option of not only chain the OK side but the ERR:

open("file.txt") |> print !!> raise |> print

exist something like this???
I'd love to peek at the alternate universe wherein Apple doesn't migrate to the FreeBSD-based OSX.

In the late 90s I got so worn out with stability issues inherent to Win98 on laptops that I switched to the Mac, largely because a co-worker was using one and I could SEE how much it didn't crash, and how sleep actually WORKED, and how good the hardware was, etc. Since my job at the time was primarily project management, and I lived in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, I had no compatibility issues, and my work life got better.

Then the dot-com crash happened and I found myself coding again as a freelancer on web projects, all of which were LAMP-stack efforts. My Mac had shipped with OS 9, but by then I'd upgraded to OS X -- which could run the same frameworks we were using on the server. My dev environment was my actual laptop, which was GREAT.

I feel like that was the moment that the Mac pulled in a lot of very technical and very influential people, with good reason. If OS X hadn't happened, I suspect desktop Linux would be further along because lots of people like me would've been kinda forced into it ca. 2001-2002 instead of having the Apple option.

You certainly can use Pharo with normal tools. You just write (and version, and whatever else) your code normally in files, then you "file in", or load, those in Pharo. You'd need ~3 lines of a wrapper if you don't want to do it manually.

I share your concerns, actually - the truth is, the code editing part of Pharo is its least compelling feature and just cannot compare to my Emacs setup with years of tweaking behind it - and I tried working outside of Pharo at one point. The main problem with that was the loss of many features of Pharo IDE: autocompletion, go to definition, who calls a method, refactoring support, unit test support, debugger (it's magic, really), eval anything anywhere and more.

In the end, I decided that it's not worth it to insist on using my normal tools and learned to use Pharo as a whole (although text editing still sucks, which can explain why the average length of a method tends to be so low in Smalltalks...)
That is because some people are hoping for it, in particular, home buyers.

If the price os something goes too high, it is a good thing that it goes down to levels in which they are affordable again for those that need it for living on them and not for speculating.
I concur with this.

I decided that I would not enforce a time limitation on screen time, but actually forced myself to be parted of my kids activities, either in or outside of screen time, and in fact he doesn't really care much about multimedia content, occasionally plays some video games with me, and most of the time he just loves to play with his toys, draw and construct paper figures.

It might be because just chance, but I notice that my kid doesn't care as much about this kind of entertainment as the children of my family and friends who are more concerned and try (and mostly fail) to enforce limitations.

> What is going on with futures 0.3? Why is everyone still using 0.1?

Futures 0.3 uses nightly only-features that are landing in Rust within (hopefully) the next two releases of Rust. Namely, Futures 0.3 is a way to experiment with async programming using the async/await syntax.

> Why is everyone still using 0.1?

Futures 0.3 is still in flux—but settling down in recent weeks—and is relying on nightly-only features. Futures 0.1 is used heavily in Hyper and Tokio, but we intend to move to Futures 0.3/std::future::Future when they're available on stable or shortly thereafter.

(The Tokio and Hyper projects take backwards compatibility _extremely_ seriously.)
