This is a tongue in cheek but also piece of shit MIT propaganda piece mostly written by the clowns who created the abortions that were Multics and LISPMs. Like as if every software engineer should start their next project by warming up their soldering irons to add obscure new features to their CPU's!

I know because I attended that school and worked with the fathers of Multics. The sad fact is that MIT produces extreme bloatware that nobody understands nor needs (gnu emacs cough cough). MIT has almost ruined unix with bloatware like 'configure' and gcc 'extensionettes'. The repeated rant about memory mapped files (a Multics bedrock feature) has been refuted as showboating hundreds of times by OS designers like my manager at Xerox OSD, the designer of Pilot, and an ex-MIT professor who never drank that Kool aid!

What's happening in OS's right now is that European bloatware is strangling Linux ... The reason Unix got people so thrilled is that it could 'terminate and stay resident' in one single human mind!

>I'm much less worried about individuals seeing my history than giant adtech behemoths.

Point is, if you publish something at a publicly accessible URL, anyone, any organization, any individual, can crawl it, archive it, transform it, make it findable, make it accessible. That is the whole value proposition of the internet and it's the whole value proposition of public publishing. It's why hopefully, future archaeologists and anthropologists can read what kind of people we were the same way we dig up dead cultures and read their published works, their letters, and their creations.

There's a danger in the empherality and bit-rot of our current digital culture in that it can be erased from history.

I have pointed you at my pre-Google blogs before, so you know my position on this has nothing to do with my employer. I am for distributed, decentralized publishing, and permissionless reuse, and I'm a copyright minimalist.

Before G+, there was USENET, there was LISTSERV, there were BBSes, as an enormous treasure trove of conversations going back decades on the internet and online world. Being able to archive and find those conversations is of enormous historical importance.

Aggregation is already a fact of life, and there are numerous websites already that you can use to look up your criminal history, job history, social media history, financial history, household history, and education history combined in a centralized report, all in ways that are far scarier and less accountable than big tech.

I don't necessarily like it either, but it is a natural consequence of network bandwidth and computation becoming cheaper -- it's democratizing surveillance. It's like getting angry about cameras everywhere. When the cost of cameras falls to near zero, and the cost of bandwidth (5g) is cheap and plentiful, there's going to be a natural gradient, decentralized, of wide spread surveillance and live video sharing AND processing.

I might suggest widening your view a little bit beyond Google towards the fundamental economic changes taking place that will make it very hard to avoid surveillance, even if you don't use any big tech company products.
I'll also point this out "Unlike the EFS system, MCAS can make huge nose down trim changes."

That's a potential reason why an unaware pilot wouldn't disengage the auto trim system. Because he wouldn't think the trim system as being capable of causing an extreme pitch down.

Love the question! I'm a developer who has optimized his Github profile as I could/thought it was best.

If it's okay, let me highjack one thread to ask, RECRUITERS, how would you improve further my Github profile?

https://github.com/franciscop
Please, all indications are that Boeing skipped on regulation, testing and design all the way through. It also included valuable sensors as a "value add in" instead of in the base model. It also disincentivized pilot training and a host of other security measures because they knew client would balk at the costs being passed down, due to Boeing's own design decisions, most notably the "hack" of using the 737 type, despite large modifications to the entire aircraft.

Essentially, Boeing made a bunch of cost cutting decisions and cut every corner they could. Patches were developed and changes were suggested, but were delayed or cancelled due to business and political reasons.

In systems with dual redundant channels you don't try to determine which one is correct (unless it's obvious, like lost comms to one sensor), you just throw an error and stop trusting both sensors.

Right, this makes sense. The system you describe magnifies or reduces the signals going back and forth between the pilot and the control surfaces. It can be modelled linearly and done with an analog system.

However I'm referring to a computer literally trying to hide a stall that occurs when you pitch the nose up by producing an inverse signal out of thin air that has no input from the pilot. Why wasn't this needed before the max moniker was added to the plane?

Seriously, build the plane so that this doesn't happen. Don't create some MCAS system to hide it.

I don't suggest disabling arrow keys and mouse. But I don't suggest using them either. (This goes for tmux as well).

The reason being is that you will frequently have to work with others. If someone comes over to your computer (or you bring it to them), they need to be able to look at the code. It just saves a lot of hassles. Besides, disabling these isn't going to help you develop those patterns, what helps you develop keeping on the keyboard is actively staying on the keyboard.

Side note: you'll notice vim users are more likely to use keyboard shortcuts in substantially more programs than in the terminal.

That would entirely hinge on the degree to which the content was editorialised. If the video contains commentary and/or editorialising and/or editing that in any way implied that the occurrence was desirable or righteous, then it is terrorist propaganda and should be restricted without hesitation.

If it was an opinion-free, propaganda-free raw unedited video of a newsworthy event that was filmed in a public place, then it probably shouldn't be banned—though publishers should still act responsibly if the material contains deeply offensive or distressing material, or if it has serious privacy implications.

And that's just a proposed set of principles I came up with after three minutes of consideration—I'm sure with an extra 15 minutes we could come up with something even better. Point is, this isn't difficult. The fact that there are no bright clear lines doesn't preclude us as a society from drawing a line somewhere.

I don’t follow your comment, though it seems pretty sarcastic.

How do you suggest that it works? How do you propose that we regulate innovation before the innovation occurs? Bit difficult, no?
I agree with that. The interesting aspect of dynamic languages is that it's a living program, you can interact with, it can interact with itself and you could even effectively make it an entire new program without ever closing it like the Ship of Theseus. Smalltalk, Lisp Machines and the Erlang Virtual Machine were pushing this idea.

Which is why I feel that a dynamic language that doesn't focus on the interactivity, like having a great REPL based development cycle, hot swapping capabilities and strong code as data utilities kinda misses the point in the trade-off between static and dynamic, sacrificing safety for too little. Jupyter notebooks seem to have recently brought a little of the first to the mainstream at least.
I really don’t see this as an issue of censorship but protecting rights. These are not footages from public places. Churches, mosques and other places of worship are not public places for the most part. In addition, Facebook is a commercial platform where they make money based on user activities.
I've always wanted to understand the distinction to be that messages are always by value, never by reference. Think of the actor model, or a microservices-type system: Individual objects don't have any shared memory, so all they can do is pass around messages that describe information they know.

In short, the distinction between a system with method calls and one with message passing is whether or not it allows for spooky action at a distance.

But this distinction isn't really carried through by all the systems that claim to be based on message passing.
> Even better you don't have to be with the cursor on the number you want to increment or decrement with Ctrl-A and Ctrl-X. It will work with the next number to the right of the cursor.

In Java, calling a method foo on an object compiles to different things depending on the class of the object. The compiler determines whether the object has a method foo, and compiles the call either into a direct jump or an indirect jump through the object's vtable. (Which slot in the vtable is fixed by the compiler.)

With message-send semantics as in Smalltalk or Objective-C, the compiler only knows the method's name, and calling a method foo compiles to the same thing irrespective of the object's class. It's the object's job to determine what foo means, and it will do the dispatch to determine which method to use, or if no method matches, call a missing-method handler.

The point isn't about the fraud or the possible laundering. The point is that Apple _must_ have some people doing data analytics on app sales and numerous other app store metrics, and therefore they should have already investigated these outliers.

The secret is don’t base your job search on blindly submitting resumes to applicant tracking systems.

When I am looking for a job, I send my resume to my curated list of local recruiters followed up by a phone call. We talk about what they have available and what I am looking for. I have enough of a history with them that they make sure that my resume shows up on top of the hiring managers stack.

My success rate from submitting my resume to being invited to an in person interview is 100% unless the req was closed. My non rejection rate is close to 100% (I’ve taken myself out of the running because I found a job.)
This is basically how defunctionalization is implemented. I'm less confident about the "what if the destination doesn't know about the msgType you sent" issue, because defunctionalization itself is a whole-program technique where the destination context has to know what to do with your function call. But your solution (i.e. raising an error condition) looks reasonable enough.

> and yet we are still fooled into buying entirely new systems every two or three years by the Intel-Microsoft-Dell-Motherboard Cabal.

The point is that you do not need to buy an entirely new systems every two or three years (and I personally know few people that do), but can comfortably upgrade parts. CPU upgrade compatibility has sometimes been annoyingly short, but most of time you can easily extend the lifetime of a system by buying a former high-end CPU for cheap, and for other pieces compatibility is way longer. SATA drives from 10 years ago still work with modern PCs if they survived (or your PC from 10 years ago you still use because "CPUs haven't become faster" can be upgraded with a SATA or PCIe SSD, which it can't fully utilize, but it'll work and make a difference. PCIe cards always have been compatible between versions, you had the choice between AGP and PCIe for quite a while (when that switch happened, like 15 years ago?), and technically can still buy boards with PCI ports today (although that's a market niche).

Anyway...

Very little is actually known about the Charvakas except through quotes by their opponents but we can definitely conclude they were skeptics alright but hardly scientific or even rationalist. They only believed valid knowledge only comes from perception by the five senses so even inference was opposed which makes logic impossible.

There is also a recent theory which I’m not sure I buy but sounds interesting that far from being radically anti-religious, the Charvakas were actually the remnant of the most conservative strains of thought.

The Vedic religion c. 500 BC mostly involved sacrificial rituals of greater or lesser complexity performed by a man and his wife. The goal of those rituals was worldly power and wealth. They were addressed to Gods who were either personifications of natural phenomena or embodiments of human archetypes. Such metaphysics as there was involved creating a new body for the deceased so he could enjoy life in heaven. (We can still see remnants of this in the Hindu funeral rites or shraddha in which reincarnation is only rather awkwardly bolted on.) This heaven was beyond the everyday world but otherwise exactly the same. One could even physically travel there.

Around 500BC or so there was cultural upheaval and many new ideas arose. In the Upanishads, Buddhism, Jainism and other sects that no longer survive, a new paradigm arose that emphasized enlightened knowledge over ritual action, the ascetic monk over the married householder, and liberation from constant reincarnation over one future life in Heaven. Heaven (and the new concept of Hell) were also expanded into multiple worlds inhabited by all kinds of supernatural creatures.

If we examine the extent Charvaka fragments, it is mainly these new-fangled ideas that they mock. Furthermore all the known Charvaka authors are Brahmanas some of them well-versed in traditional learning. One of them even quotes the Vedas to support his views. This is because they were actually representatives of the old guard or so the theory goes. Like I said I’m not sure if I buy it but there it is.

Skill of your too directly impacts your ability to complete a task. If you struggle to prep food for cooking, you're going to be slower and probably less effective than the master chef who doesn't even have to think about how to dice.

But I'll agree with you in this way - there are a lot of people who want to just get good at their tools (huge vimrc that's mostly unused) and don't care about how well they actually write code. I think it stems from procrastinating.
Within the realm of blackhat or malicious hacking, many people may also make a distinction between cheating a corporation out of small amounts of money (phone phreaking, cable boxes) and doing things that directly hurt private individuals for the sake of profit. So even if the earliest uses of “hacking” referred to something illegal, it might not really refer to the same thing as blackhat hacking today.
