maybe I'm being overly pedantic, but people seem to be confused about this:

the pipes in your typical functional language (`|>`) is not a form of function composition, like

```

f >> g === x -> g(f(x))

```

but function application, like

```

f x |> g === g(f(x))

x |> f |> g // also works, has the same meaning

f |> g // just doesn't work, sorry :(

```

Ten years? Do you really think software development as we know it will be gone in ten years? I think it’s important on hacker news that we have perspective on our place in society and history and that we don’t think of ourselves (speaking for software engineers mostly here) as gods or something, but it seems very extreme to suggest that what we do will be gone or severely reduced in ten years.
You're absolutely right (and also on point for why I prefaced with 'the contrarian jerk in me.') I think I'll email exactly this to HR now.
What do you think is the difference in the companies that lose trust and that keep it?

Would you agree with this idea: the companies that keep trust figure out a business incentive that aligns with keeping it?

for example
- HackerNews wants the best content to attract smart people to apply to YCombinator, which is where they make money
- Wikipedia is a nonprofit, relying on happy users and foundations to donate
- Craigslist is effectively a Public Benefit Corporation; They have a noncorporate noncommercial ethos as a closely held entity, and choose not to profit maximize

What do you think Glassdoor should do to align their business with having accurate and trusted reviews?
That makes sense.

Cities are basically gathering places. Shops, jobs, accommodation all gather there in a self reinforcing manner.

It follows that transport connections would influence that.

Also its Somersets investors who decide to invest in Funds, the fund manager merely provide the oppurtunity for investment. Your analysis between opening a offshore fund and Rees-Moggs Brexit motivations are tenuous at best.

I don't think counterfeit Macbook Pros are a threat to their market. Their users are usually pretty good about buying directly from Apple within their ecosystem. I don't think I've ever seen a counterfeit Macbook--there's other similar-looking laptops, but they are clearly marked as Windows machines and not trying to pass off as an actual Macbook. I'd love to see an example though, if I am being ignorant. I won't discount that possibility.

It seems they're butting up against the limit of what they are capable of reliably manufacturing, which certainly won't end well. I'm looking forward to seeing what direction they take for the next Macbook Pro, should be interesting.
I wonder why this isn’t the case in Europe? Some cards offer small bonuses but peanuts compared to US ones.
There are a few adapters that do audio out and lightning in for charging. Apple makes (made?) a dock that was similar. They all have pretty bad reviews unfortunately. USB-C and Android seem to have the same lack of solutions.

I was looking for one because one of our cars has no bluetooth, and the other has bluetooth that won't talk to any recent iPhone, and my iphone 5S is getting flaky. Wish I hadn't missed the SE over the weekend.
Right, but this doesn't look like Reddit or Quora selling-out, these are just users exploiting the platforms
I generally agree but there are circumstances where you can just tell. My experience as an adult being rediagnosed was honestly answering a survey of questions. Half way through the psychiatrist already knew it. There was no question.

I was originally diagnosed in college. And have managed it with a combo of effort and medication. Life has been good.

Now I have two family member adolescents. One was diagnosed, and I knew he absolutely did not have it. It took two years before the psychiatrist admitted it was anxiety. Meanwhile the younger one definitely does, but personally I feel he is too young for medication or even be diagnosed. He will eventually be properly diagnosed and be prescribed.

I know there is a lot of misdiagnosis, but sometimes it's incredibly obvious even on a first interaction. I am not a psychiatrist but sometimes you just recognize your people.
Facebook seems to be taking a lot of heat these days. But I wonder: what would actually "fix" the platform? As far as I can tell, the only "solution" is getting rid of Facebook. Obviously, FB doesn't agree. Short of destroying itself (and having a competitor instantly take its place), what should they do?

What can they do?

Proposed solutions to their various problems:

- Make the timeline less addictive, to prevent people overusing it. Won't work, as soon as facebook loses its relevance another, more addictive site will take its place (reddit, instagram). In any case, they've already tried this.

- Introduce moderation, to prevent abuse of the platform. They're already frantically hiring moderators--they cannot find enough people to moderate the platform. And competitors are emerging in any case (whatsapp and other messaging apps)

- Stop collecting data on people. Not going to happen, since they rely on this for revenue. Asking them to do this is like asking someone to violate their survival instinct. This has to happen from some force external to Facebook. And in any case, people's data is valuable, so saying "stop collecting data" is like saying "don't pick up $100 that you find on the ground."

I guess I'm trying to say that this problem is so much bigger than just Facebook. It's a problem with mankind that will prove to be more and more intractable as time goes on, regardless of who is a player and who is pointing fingers.
I didn't say chisel, I said chisel set, ie. 3 or 4 chisel for $15, which once you factor Amazon's commission, import, is probably a $2 or $3 set from the Chinese factory.

It's not just New York; there are a few other urban areas with significant numbers of commuters by transit -- Boston and San Francisco (with the crowd traveling on the "Google buses", and the number of tech jobs downtown) both come to mind. But there are lots of cities (Los Angeles most notoriously) where a car-free life is nearly impossible.

Of course. I’ve been employed and consulted enterprise IT&Dev for almost 20 years.

The amount of people heating office spaces at your non-tech large enterprise is astounding in my opinion.

I enjoy discussing the reasons for this, but it’s a lenghty one!

In super-short: lack of competency, meaning IT support and tools are not used even remotely optimal.
This lack of competency, which starts at the top, results in laughable lead times for the simplest of tasks and processes.
This in turn has resulted in mass outsourcing and off-shoring of a bunch of tasks (processes) that really should have been automated years ago.

Usually the incentive to improve this is 0 with these ”service providers” and things detoriate even further.

The sad state of affairs is that many believe this is the way ”IT” works — slow and error prone.

Awesome example: one place, one of the 500s, built an on-prem ”cloud” within a business unit. Over 2000 physical xen hosts.
I wanted them to apply a patch. They refused. The last patch had taken 6 months to roll out. The process was: ssh to server, scp patch, run sudo install patch.
The entire operation was bought by a renowned ”service provider”. Ouch.

I could talk about this for weeks! Of course there are those that manage an awesome shop, but my experience is that this is usually isolated teams that are somewhat shielded from the crazyness of big money politics.
This is kind of a chicken-egg situation. You can't reach the high-density requirement when cars are the primary means of transportation. Cars are an extraordinarily low-density means of transportation. And some evidence, based on city age, seems to suggest that cities built with cars in mind (e.g., non-east coast cities in the U.S.) tend to sprawl quite a bit.

I have.

The salaries are low by western standards. I tripled my income coming back to the UK.

The work culture is shitty. Long hours are routine. Developers are cogs in the machine. The boss is always right. You need to do things by the book.

There's a hard class distinction between "worker bees" (includes developers) and "managers". Those managers were typically clueless about tech, also, which made interviewing a crapshoot.
Sure Discover and Amex exist, but fees for merchants are usually high and adoption is lower.

Doesn't that suggest VISA & MC are not making obscene profits? The upstart being more expensive than the incumbent is often a sign that the incumbent is not just resting on their laurels with fat profit margins.
At a past startup that had become overrun with back-stabbing middle-management obsessed with building their own respective empires and in permanent cover-your-ass mode, regularly throwing people from engineering or operations under the bus, the glassdoor reviews predictably became overwhelmingly negative.

Every all-hands meeting started concluding with requests that the staff make glowing company reviews. It was a scene straight out of the movie Office Space. The first couple times they did this, the Glassdoor reviews would get a bunch of 5-star contrived "Everything's perfect, best company ever." additions within the same day or two. We in engineering and operations knew they were coming out of the sales & marketing departments, since we all wanted to burn the place to the ground thanks to the awful management.

I've seen very similar patterns on other glassdoor company pages. When you see a bunch of positive reviews clustered around the same time period for a company otherwise full of negative stuff, the positive is probably more sales & marketing propaganda, it's their job.

If you're not planning on selling your personal projects, then they're hobby projects.

Once a hobby project no longer becomes a hobby project, it becomes a commercial endeavour.
Just like yelp.
That would be great if it weren't a prisoner's dilemma at that point.

There is no getting away from the fees, so I must get a credit card, but that means that all of my purchases are tracked.

If you don't think this is important, you haven't been paying much attention.
Your page ranks not because it is inherently good content, but by how many people link to it and how they link to it (link text). So it creates externalities.
> Before Facebook, if I lost someone's contact information, and drifted outside of their social circle for a long enough time, chances were I would never ever see or speak to that person again.

I was nodding along at this until I read your second paragraph, then had to go back. Apparently you think this was a bad thing?

Losing touch with people is natural. Having to explicitly sever a relationship is awkward. But without a natural pruning function, it's easy to end up with a thousand shallow relationships and not enough deep ones.
Colleges sell themselves as providing remunerative employment training when it suits them, and hide behind this excuse when kids (esp. Humanities majors) can't garner gainful employment. "What, you thought you were paying $200k to increase your earning potential?! Crazy kids---this is all about personal development. Life is about more than money!" (Try not paying your student loans back, and you can see exactly how little they care about money.)

Even if we pretend that the majority of people attend college not for the purpose of increasing their value to employers and getting out of their parents' house, but for personal edification, colleges don't even accomplish this ostensible goal! Most students are more ignorant in most subject matter than the day they step foot on the campus - https://www.nysun.com/new-york/students-know-less-after-4-co... ; https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/01/whats-c.... Often they're propagandized for four years, saddled with debt, and told that they got an "education", so it's nobody's fault but their own if they can't find a decent job.

Three cheers for the AWS certs and modern-day educational options and good riddance to the corrupt university system (propped up by taxpayer-subsidized monies, of course).

By saying "Facebook didn't invent social networking" the parent wasn't implying that Facebook didn't bring anything new. They were dismissing the idea that before Facebook you had to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to facilitate social activities over the internet. As a teenager using AIM in the 90s, I certainly wasn't shelling out thousands to talk with my friends every night.
I still get a fair amount of value out of Youtube, personally.

But yeah, you definitely have to wear some goggles to see through the noise.

My rules for youtube:

* Don't read the comments

* Don't participate in the comments

* Ignore many of the suggestions—they tend toward right-wing extremist and conspiracy theory ramblings

* Stick to music, favoured clips from shows (I do love that I can watch some old Mitchell and Webb Look), DIY/How-Tos, old lectures and interviews (Feynman's are fantastic), and the like.

Grievances:

* The aforementioned suggestions that I keep up on my extremist ideology lessons and conspiracy theories about Clinton and her child slave moon base on Mars

* I now know what Peppa Pig is, kind of.

There is another "expense" in driving cars - having to expend mental load on driving and not being able to focus 100% on something else during commute time.

Exactly one year ago, we tried an experiment and moved to Arlington VA, just outside Washington DC. We live ~5km from my office and i switch it up between walking, metro, and cycling with a big bias towards walking. Door-to-door, 95% of the route is dedicated trail so there is no mental load of avoiding traffic. I churn thru audiobooks, catch-up conversations with friends, and sometimes just plain uninterrupted thinking. This is the best gift given i've given myself for a long, long time. Summertime walks are so pleasurable that I look forward to going to work early in the day and coming back just as the sun subsides.

This is all awesome enough that I'm dreading the next job in SF/SV/NYC just because of commute alone.

If you are curious, this is the typical (non-winter) walk: https://www.instagram.com/p/BhCXV4eDvSZ/?utm_source=ig_web_c...
POSIX is similar to what you describe. It's a unified paradigm that wrestles the complexities under one paradigm. UNIX philosophy of each tool doing one thing, and doing it well, combined with the constructs that are provided through shells such as inter-process communication and piping everything has turned out to be quite the solid foundation for software development. I'm not saying we couldn't learn lessons from Pharo, but that I'm not so quick to dump everything else to live inside their bubble just yet.
Still spikes not screws :)
In my experience a lot of people only find Manhattan tolerable because they can get out of the city on a regular basis. Assumes a certain income level of course. But those I know who live in Manhattan, SF, etc. without cars rent Zipcar and conventional rentals a lot. As well as Uber, etc.

Many people are just largely stuck to public transit lines of course. But the demographic that is actually moving into cities (college educated professionals) mostly doesn’t think that way.
Sure, but these are narrow AI applications. The great and powerful Oz general AI will be of limited utility unless there is a man behind the curtain.

The American college question is always a jobs question dressed up.

There’s no jobs for people.

Therefore people try to get college degrees, even if they aren’t suited for it or going to be happy with it.

This drives up the demand for college, and specifically for degrees that lead to jobs.

This degrades the image and purpose of college (students aren’t here to expand their mind. They’re here so that recruiters won’t ding them.)

All of which leads invariably to Downstream issues, like credential inflation and growing student debt.

Eventually, college = jobs, and one of the greatest achievements of America, its liberals arts education, will tarnish and crumble.
That's an issue I have with laptops in general, I think. To have the screen in a place where you can look at it comfortably, you need your hands in a place that is uncomfortable for them. And then vice-versa.

I already have issues with repetitive stress pain when I use a laptop too long. I mainly try to avoid the laptop when at all possible and just use my 8+ year old desktop instead for all work things.

As a plus, it has drastically cut down on the amount of "bonus" work I do at home in the evenings. When the choice is getting a little more work done vs not having tendons that hurt to move for the next 3 days, I'll take the lack of pain every time :)
> I guess I can see the analogy but it's still like comparing nicotine to caffeine.

Nitpick, but nicotine != cigarettes, and nicotine alone isn't that (if at all) habit-forming.
Words can have different meanings in different contexts. Being your friend IRL and being your "friend" on Facebook are very different. Many Facebook friends are what you might call "acquaintances" IRL. Plus there's all your family, immediate an extended, who aren't really truly your friends but are called such on Facebook.

BTW even IRL, knowing my secrets would be more indicative of close family and close friends, a wider circle of people can still be my friend without that level of intimacy.
That was said by him in 2000 - the Lisbon treaty was 2009. In 2000 the only path possible for the UK and EU was "further integration". There was no ability to exit i.e. there was no Article 50.

One can imagine if exiting the EU was possible in 2000 he would have worked that into his comments at the time. As far as he was concerned he had a problem exporting products from the UK because of the strong sterling, most particularly in comparison to the Euro. He needed a solution. Joining the Euro was a possible solution at the time.

The EU also had no trade agreements with countries like Singapore or Japan in 2000 either - or even 2009 for that matter - further reducing his strategic options.

This was the segway model.
It's the open source approach to upgrading. All the cool kids are focused on version N+1, which doesn't work yet. The users still on version N don't get support any more because only losers use version N.
You see this pattern frequently in open source. The Python 3 debacle spent five years in that state.

Commercial products tend to avoid this. Sales of version N go way down before version N+1 is generating revenue. Overall revenue drops during the transition. That's not good.

As long as the compiler system is self-bootstrapping. I don't know if this is the case with CompCert C. Probably not becuse of the ML compiler tech involved, which usually doesn't bootstrap on C.

But aside from these incidental properties, yes the same thing could be done.

(This still leaves a large class of related, less recursively symmetric integrity attacks that could be made without the language fully bootstrapping itself, of course)

”On the windward side […] You flow either fuel or water in between the sandwich layer, and then you have micro-perforations on the outside—very tiny perforations—and you essentially bleed water, or you could bleed fuel, through the micro-perforations on the outside.”

Squirting fuel through a hot (the article talks of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit or 800 degrees Celsius) heat shield, while lots of oxygen passes by? I would triple-check my calculations. If that fuel ignites, the net effect may not be cooling.

Blogging has transformed and moved. Twitter is a kind of blogging--only more concise, and consequently, much easier. Facebook, as well as Linkedin, may scratch the same itch as blogging. And, the bonus is that your content is much more visible and accessible.

Even if you post a link to your blog on linkedin, maybe 5-10% of people will click it, from my experience.

This is mostly a response to the comments, saying that blogging for sake of blogging has been lost. I don't think it's been lost; it's moved and transformed into social media.
Pure rent? I don't love them, but providing a worldwide payments network is not free or trivial.
There is also the term "mass transit" that excludes taxis exactly because they don't help solving the congestion and pollution problems.
I too enjoy walking around European cites much more than US cities. On a Brussels trip I commented on how interesting and winding the streets were to a family friend, she pointed out that it made it harder for tanks to drive through a city. That matter of fact response brought into sharp focus the disparity between cites that had been rebuilt several times and those which haven't.

There was also the adaptation from cities that were built when walking and horses were the main transportation modes which remain amenable to walking today.

All said, it seems like a renewed interest in the impact of urban design on things like walkability and livability have come back into fashion and some cities are taking their cues from that with their urban renewal projects. As a really interesting example of that has been the evolution of zoning laws which allow for mixed use buildings (commercial and residential) which are sprouting up all around the Bay Area. This is something that was pretty much unthinkable in the late 90's.
