I think some of this is just that you have strong personal opinions which are somewhat out of the norm. I have Black split long lines but the results are never what I’d call awful and I’d increasingly class that as a code-smell indicator since the cases where I haven’t been happy with the results were generally unnecessarily complex lines which could be split to be more readable.

I would also flip your last sentence completely: computers don’t have problems reading code of any style. Auto-formatting is so humans don’t burn time adjusting to different styles or, worse, failing to parse them the same way as a compiler.
After a quick read, the amendment in this directive seems far too general to be enforced effectively. If you parse it with the FOSS principles and revoking the ability to flash or install LineageOS, OpenWRT, Tasmota etc., it is counter-intuitive to some of the principles empowering consumers e.g. restricting locked bootloaders by carriers.

If passed into law, it might make a test-case for sales of rogue drones but it won't be able to stop Baofeng handsets flooding a market. The EU needs reminding that restricting freedom in this way is a terrible idea.

> The audience walks away feeling empathetic that they aren’t alone in their journey to writing idiomatic Go and is now equipped with strong refactoring techniques developed by some of the world’s top engineers for the Kuberentes project.

As an occasional user of kubernetes, minikube etc. it's not something I would have guessed to have been developed by the word's top engineers.

I mean kubernetes tries to, and probably manages to provide an useful abstraction, but at a few million LOC and a few man-month of full time senior engineering effort to run anything in production it's not exactly a epitome of elegant and efficient engineering.
> The EU is now "generously" considering introducing a limit of 10,000 euros before you need to register for VAT.

No, that limit was passed in 2017 and took effect for digital services in January 2019:

I.e. if your cross-border EU sales of digital services are less than 10 000 €, you can consider the sales domestic.

None of that helps you with what the charge is when you're elastic, or using multiples of hyperthreads that don't add up to a integer number of cores. I agree that OpenJDK is a better idea.
There is also cargo vendor to download the dependencies locally. I’m using just that at work to ensure builds without network access work.

Rust is no worse here than say Haskell with cabal or stack or Swift with whatever they were using I forgot or go for that matter.
Getting to orbit is hard, for anything big beyond earth orbit, we'll probably need manufacturing or at least some assembly in orbit. That takes a lot of trips from earth to orbit. Making that more efficient means more resources left for the real exploration.

I've got about 200 integration tests too with a package that builds itself into an OS dependent state so I'm stuck running things in a VM. Probably easier to mark up the tests so I can run unit tests most of the time. That should make things bearable.

Reminds me of Battlefield's endless reference to its amazing Frostbite engine, which didn't change the fact that their last ~4 releases (BF3,4,1,5) all hit walls at launch, earning EA and Dice the reputation that their titles launch as Alphas and you don't get the real game for a year after despite paying a full sticker price. Great engine though...

Also I realize I left out Hardline. It was intentional (though I heard it was a solid game despite its lackluster popularity and quick demise).

fta: For example, a participant was shown three words (e.g., dress, dial, flower), with the requirement being to find a single associated word (in this case "sun") that can be combined to make a common word or phrase (i.e., sundress, sundial and sunflower).

The researchers used three experiments involving verbal tasks in either a quiet environment or while exposed to:

Background music with foreign (unfamiliar) lyrics
Instrumental music without lyrics
Music with familiar lyrics

What a pitri dish experiment. I don't give this any value whatever to actual creative tasks like painting or designing a video game. Music can help induce a state of flow to be creative in a multitude of work environs -- OK, but this research proved you can't solve a simple word riddle quite as well.
No it's not. There are cases where taking a human life is considered acceptable and ethical. Killing an abductor that threatens to kill many people and negotiations have failed is considered ethical and not punishable by law.
Now if you assume that murder is the case where an unlawful act happened then you've stopped querying for ethics and your question becomes what is lawful which is again extremely ill-defined.
I mean, the short answer is if all of the constraints and inputs to a problem are known, you don't need an AI at all. There is a guaranteed optimal crop arrangement, and the model to produce it would be purely based on natural sciences only - physics, biochemistry, engineering etc.

AI is only required when there is some unknown, ambiguous, adversarial, or otherwise non-existent input or constraint. AI (or indeed any intelligence) is only useful in situations where there is "bias" (in the data science sense), inference, preference, and extrapolation being used to make decisions in an unknown space.

And it's precisely in these areas where ethics can be part of the "weights" given to those inferences and preferences.
Redux, Under the Hood
My 15 year old self wanted to open for Korn and ski in the winter X Games. To date I have no regrets that either of these haven’t happened yet.
I completely agree with all the comments that suggest a time-based licensed or paying per major version/updates. But have a small suggestion.

In addition to offline functionality, can there be any type of online functionality built-in as a convenience? I’m thinking automatic backups when an event ends, sharing results to a portal for competitors to log into later, etc.

If there is, you can use a hybrid model and offer those as a subscription with a fixed license or (depending on price) a more expensive monthly that will bundle the fixed license.

Good luck!

> So far my idea is to encrypt the results of the competition after it is complete. The user would then need to connect to the internet after the competition, log in, pay, and then could get their decrypted competition results. Alternatively, I could just sell it like a normal product, $x/per download...

This would be so annoying for customers. I'm sure your customers will not expect this to happen no matter how many warnings you so and when it does, they'll be furious that you let them use it first and then locked in their data forcing them to pay.

Why not make it a subscription and make the app lock down if it cannot contact your server to verify its subscription key let's say every week or so. Most traditional desktop apps followed this model. It can also let you charge them based on the usage or volume of data so you can have subscription plans. Of course people talented and inclined enough can find ways around it but I wouldn't worry about that as much.

Some mobile apps have two account creation options: Facebook login or phone number.

I recently chose phone number (because screw FB) but then noticed that the SMS verification is performed by Facebook anyways.

What the hell are App developers thinking? If I choose not to use my FB login in your app it's because I don't want FB snooping on me.

But then you turn around and use Facebook to validate my phone number without proper consent?
Evernote isn't too bad - all the data is cached locally in xml files with attachments - one directory per document. It is almost xhtml - the top level content wrapped in an en-note tag and the images are en-media tags.

I agree that it's important to be sure you can get your data back out of whatever you're using. And another benefit of something like org mode that uses text files as a backing store is that you can edit/consume them with whatever tools you want.
Agreed! Notable achievement, but not game-changing.

Essentially yes - a Java stream returns an iterable object, which we can perform further operations such as filtering down, mapping to something else or 'collecting' it into another object (et al).
As already mentioned by another commenter, freakonomics had a good series on CEOs, including an episode on the glass cliff: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/glass-cliff/

The hypothesis being: female/minority CEOs are more likely to be hired as CEOs at failing firms (perhaps) because male candidates are less likely to apply/accept. Which, if true, would contradict your hypothesis.
Wait, if you JetBrains license expires, you can still use the product without receiving updates? I thought it would allow a grace period like the demos and then refuse to work.
George Pólya[1], author of the math classic How to Solve It[2], wrote "Von Neumann is the only student I was ever intimidated by. He was so quick. There was a seminar for advanced students in Zurich that I was teaching and von Neumann was in the class. I came to a certain theorem, and I said it was not proved and it may be difficult. Von Neumann didn’t say anything but after five minutes he raised his hand. When I called on him he went to the blackboard and proceeded to write down the proof. After that I was afraid of von Neumann."

I think GP gets that, and is pointing out a potential problem. Your solution of not being an asshole works for small groups, but not the entire internet.
Watching Warren learning to buy tech stocks is like watching a 4 year old learning to ride a bike. I suspect the problem is that for tech stocks the future is much less certain than in most industries and the trick is to judge before hand how things are likely to play out for a given stock given the various threads of likely technical progress over 2, 5 and 10 years.

A VAT tax makes a lot of sense. It would reduce the incentive for large market quasi-monopoly seeking companies to optimize for no profits to avoid taxes. The current dynamic is- why pay taxes when you can spend it to expand your market share?
Streams are a bit more general. They allow you to use functional operations on sequence of elements (e.g. map, filter, reduce, etc.) to build a processing pipeline which can execute async and in parallel.

```
widgets.stream()
.filter(b -> b.getColor() == RED)
.mapToInt(b -> b.getWeight())
.sum();
```

They aren't specific to Java. In fact they require features such as lambdas that made them less practical until Java 8.
Some might argue thats an achievement in itself.
I won't link them here, but JetBrains has been struggling with many pirate license servers. Apparently those required a lot less effort to do than cracking traditional product keys.
> [AI] has an unrivaled capacity to be used unethically

Does it?

At a personal level, I'm much more scared of a bad person with a gun and access to me than a bad person with an AI and access to me. It's more important than the ethical use of a teacup, but certainly rivaled and beaten at a micro level.

At a macro level I think your argument has more ground to stand on when it comes to things like improved efficiency of mass surveillance, but how much of that is AI part rather than the mass surveillance part? What immoralities are enabled/accelerated that could not be done without AI? In the end I'm just as concerned about mass surveillance as I was before. In a practical sense, even if somehow passed laws limiting AI, do I really think that a government performing mass surveillance in the shadows is going to follow those laws when AI is a concept anyone (with the know-how) can implement? I don't think AI's power/capacity is as high as people think, it just tends to fit well with some very bad macro level ethical actions to enhance them.

I'm not sure I'm convinced either way yet, but the claim of "unrivaled" made me immediately skeptical, at least considering the AI of this decade(s). In a hundred years you're probably right with the unrivaled part, though atom bombs and the like are probably close seconds.
Misleading title.

"For example, a participant was shown three words (e.g., dress, dial, flower), with the requirement being to find a single associated word (in this case "sun") that can be combined to make a common word or phrase (i.e., sundress, sundial and sunflower)."

This seems more like a pattern recognition puzzle. Not the flow state of "creativity".
Currently I'm at €3k/month with around €10k investment and no time spent (just bought existing projects; I've started July 2018 - planning to invest another €20k in the next 2-3 months to increase it to €4-5k/month - I live in Germany where €3k is the average monthly salary), but very good friends of mine have achieved €15-50k/month (I've seen the proofs and affiliate payments). Those friends are the main reason I've started doing this in the first place. They're a bit more motivated than I am (I have a web agency and affiliate marketing is not something where I can derive a meaning of life from). Another thing: Many of them were rich (500k+) before starting their online businesses, but I personally have around 3 friends who've built businesses with €6-30k/month using their own hands (only time and hard work; e.g. one with a YouTube channel and another one with a lot of niche sites).

The main reason I openly talk about this: Most people won't do something. They're comfortable. So I'm not afraid to share information because 99% will simply ignore it. And for 1% it'll be life-changing.
The biggest problem with the 1^2...n^2 example is syntactic, honestly. If Java had native tuples and destructuring, the code would look quite clean:

Stream.iterate((1,1), ((idx, _)) -> (idx+1, Math.pow(idx+1, 2)));

As an aside, as each term of this particular sequence only depends on the index, not the previous term, the cleanest way would be to just map an index sequence:

// Full overflow prevention left as an exercise to the reader
IntStream.rangeClosed(0, Integer.MAX_VALUE).map(n -> Math.pow(n, 2))
Couldn't we just broaden the definition - a good CEO takes a job that is difficult but achievable, a bad CEO takes a job that he's not competent enough to identify as impossible. I think a good example of this is Intel. Intel just spent a year trying to find a new CEO, but failed because no one qualified to do the job was incompetent enough to accept the job. All the candidates were competent enough to realise that job is going to be a blood bath.
I'dd add Poincaré.

John von Neumann and Henri Poincaré certainly deserve credit for a shocking amount of modern advancement in math and science.

> The thought of going on a one-way trip to Mars

Oh my it's not a one-way ticket! Those people selling 1-way tickets were scammers. A key tenet of SpaceX seems to be that you can come home to Earth whenever you want, or at least when the planets align for a fast journey. They will need to transport a lot of Starships back to Earth, and as long as they are like 30% empty it works out for people to come home any time at all. I'm banking on that too, coming back to visit Earth in the future.

> when you are 60 is scary.

Yeah okay, it is a bit scary to think about now. But I don't think it will be scary then. Should be just like airplanes now - that's the goal for SpaceX anyway.

> But thank you for the idea of longer term goals - "Experience zero-gravity and see Earth from outer atmosphere" is now on the list.

The issue is that large multi national corporations do advanced tax planning so they pay little or no tax. Usually they move profit vs losses around different countries to zero out the tax plus tax loop holes.

Is there a massive amount of data entry that is not suited for an iPad or phone(iOS/android) ?

Given the fact that you can probably record the video of the lift using the device camera, plus a few more obvious advantages...wouldn't it be better to do it this way ?

I usually recommend https://file.pizza to non-tech people who want to send large files, as it is a very easy-to-use solution. The sender adds the file and then sends the file link to the recipient who simply loads it in their browser to download the file.

Files are sent peer to peer and are encrypted. The main downside is that the sender has to keep the browser tab open until the recipient receives the file.
The landing of first stage is definitely worth celebrating. But I honestly don't get all the hype about today's news:

- SpaceX already sent multiple times almost the same capsule to the ISS before for cargo. Today's launch is just a small modification of those ones.

- Soyuz is mundanely sending astronauts all the time to ISS.
That incentivizes the creation of vertically-integrated conglomerates over small companies, in order to reduce the number of transactions; is that what you want to foster?

Neither, there has been research done of people programming, and they measured the most activity to be in areas related to short term (working) memory.

Also as a 10+ year musician, I prefer programming (or any task that needs focus) without any sound. Listening to music, makes me noticeably more relaxed in a "bad way", and I definitely can't get into the nitty gritty of an actual problem, with anywhere close of a hyperfocus "shit is real" kind of attitude.

Music can get me in the mood, but when I get there and the music is off, it's 5 hours later and I wrote a figurative 1000 lines of working code.
This is really the best solution. It's next to no cost for short-term upload, especially if the files aren't that big. However, you're protected by one of the largest and most secure public cloud platforms rather than some random server.
