The most interesting thing about this concept is for years I have been walking over these things on city streets and it took this Google Doodle for me to even know what they are. We live in a world that continues to astound me by the mere fact that we can see things in our life every day and not even know what they are.
Count legal compliance too.

Legal departments in large consultancy companies have been working on "open source policies" internally (mostly on the "using open source software" angle, less on the "contributing" angle).

And those policies are specific/hard/complex enough to discourage public endorsement.

For instance, use of GPL-based software is strictly forbidden (for good reasons, when you take the perspective of the company); unless a specific review by legal allows it, in which case, you've already been through several layers of management with a convincing case for each of them.

OK, there's a lot to unpack here, but none of it supports your point. Firstly: the whole "DOS ain't done till Lotus won't run" is an urban legend.

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://...

Lotus employees themselves said they don't recall DOS ever breaking or slowing down their app, and Microsoft gave them betas to test. Any compatibility issues were bugs in DOS that Microsoft fixed. So you're repeating long since debunked myths here. Microsoft's commitment to backwards compatibility is one of the strategic issues Gates got right.

Secondly, IBM not realising the OS was a "gold mine" is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. That's not luck. Luck is a dice roll, it's something that could happen to anyone. Noticing important opportunities other firms have missed due to lack of strategic insight isn't "luck", that's indeed the heart of merit!

Thirdly, Stacker wasn't stolen. The Stacker lawsuit was about patents, it happened because Microsoft evaluated Stac's technology and decided to go with a different compression engine, which pissed off Stac so they sued. The judge concluded any infringement wasn't "wilful" i.e. the Microsoft people who did DoubleSpace didn't know about Stac's patents. This is the kind of dispute that happens to every software company.

Finally, being in a powerful position didn't automatically "gift them more power". It doesn't work like that. Look at Azure - it doesn't benefit from Windows at all, yet is growing like a weed and beating GCP. That's not something that was gifted to them merely by being there.

What I'm seeing here is a very strange view of business and leadership - good decisions are described as luck, hard work to build new products is zeroed out and described as merely 'gifts', and a bunch of garbled or false urban legends are used to minimise their achievements.

Look, I've never worked for Microsoft and have no particular reason to love them. In the 1990s I was a full on Microsoft-hating Linux fanboy in fact. But with the benefit of age and time, and watching competitors, I can see now just how many good decisions Gates made repeatedly to get him and his firm where he is now. It wasn't luck.
The fact that Google was doing just fine didn't stop it from pouring everything it had into Google+ when Facebook looked unstoppable. Which is to say, the health of the current stock price doesn't preclude a business from being paranoid about the future.

I don't know what advice to give you regarding finding that "balance" in life and I don't even know if I'd be considered a founder but for the last 9 years I've been working as a freelance programmer, I was initially diagnosed with chron's disease in 2014 and was reclassified to having ulcerate colitis a couple years later. The first 4 years of living with this problem was a total mess, It was difficult to balance my work and personal life while managing my health problem. It held back my development as a programmer and my relationships with people. I was constantly filled with anxiety, anger and frustration, It felt like there was no light at the end of the tunnel for me and I even considered suicide at one point. Over the last 9 months I started to experiment with taking psilocybin mushrooms as an alternative to anti depressants and I have found it to have helped me tremendously. It has helped me overcome the anxiety and fearfulness of this health condition, come to terms with the passing of my dad and grandparents and also has made motivated to have goals in life again. Things have been looking up since then and I've begun to turn my life around, slowly but surely.

I take issue with the wording "natural usage", as there is nothing that is "natural" about keyboards.

At least not in the sense that someone would "naturally" rather grab things with their hands rather than their feet.

This is why to me neither ctrl-f nor PgDn are natural, and anyone can choose one or the other. Ultimately they were both created by someone who saw the need to have a shortcut to move one entire page down.
Who Is Satoshi Nakamoto?
In the first whitepaper of Bitcoin, it is said that Satoshi Nakamoto is the inventor of Bitcoin. But no one actually knows who on earth is "Satoshi Nakamoto". There is a good chance that he can be an individual or a group of individuals who were involved in the development of Bitcoin. It is still a mystery! Doesn't it make you grin, that a standout amongst the most fabulous technology creator is still a puzzle?

const localHeader = Struct('localHeader')
.field('header', DoubleWord(0x04034b50))

There's already a construct for key-value pairs in JS, it's called an object:

'header': DoubleWord(0x04034b50),
'sharedHeaderInfo': sharedHeaderInfo,

> To compensate for the engines moving, which could cause the nose to dip

The engines could cause the nose to go up, leading to a higher chance of stalling the plane. The reason why the nose would pitch up is because the engines are below the center of gravity and that's what more engine power would cause the plane to rotate around. To offset that they came up with the idea of changing the trim.

> germans will never come out with cost-competitive electric cars

Of course they will. All car companies need to produce electric cars to meet the fleet emissions standards set by the EU and China, and because countries are talking about banning the sale of new ICE vehicles in the future. So if they want to stay in the car business they need to produce battery electric cars, hydrogen fuel cell cars, or both.

I switched to DDG about two years ago.

A bunch of results (20%? 30%?) are not very good, and it's not an exception. Also I know it's suppose to come down the line, but not having a filter for results of the past year is a PITA.

In my case though, Google is not very good either, I remember getting very random results (mostly focused on popular or local trends, when I'm looking for something specific) about half of the time.

In fine, I see DDG as an alternative giving access to both Google and DDG. Switching to DDG when Google was bad was not simple, the reverse is (just add a !)

Geese don’t fly at the height where this speed is reached.
Bigger engines, mounted further forward. Different center of thrust.

Apparently it's not stable enough to fly without some fly by wire style compensation.

Honestly, while Boeing is at fault for this not working out, they never wanted to re-engine the plane in the first place. They wanted a clean sheet design, but Airbus forced their hand by offering a re-engine of the A320 to American Airlines.

That leads me to wonder if the A320neo might have similar problems we haven't seen yet.

I like to see message passing as method calls as conceptually about who is responsible.

A method call is "done to" an object. The caller decides which code is invoked. It does so with information about the object or its class, but ultimately the object has no direct say.

Message passing on the other hand conceptually grants the object the role of deciding what happens to a message.

Message passing is often implemented in terms of method calls for the simple cases, but an object has the ability to dynamically define how a message should be handled based on state that may be known to the object but not the caller.

A typical Ruby example (and Ruby is a good example - it "stole" most of its object model from Smalltalk) is Ruby ORMs like Sequel (same applies to most Ruby ORMs) that dynamically define accessors for columns etc when connecting to a database and dynamically querying the database for the schema.

In Ruby, method calls is a veneer - you can define a method that looks like it's just like a C++ method call, decided at the callsite, but at runtime the receiving object can be redefined at any point, up to and including changing which methods the object responds to on an object-by-object basis, or defining "method_missing" so that what looks like method calls are entirely dynamic.

> It it supposed to be remotable? So are method calls.

I'd say there is a difference in degree of complexity in remoting. In a message passing system you typically do not need to have any kind of definition of the interface available client side. E.g. Drb for Ruby lets you expose any Ruby code over a network connection this way.

E.g. here is a real example, using the "pry" Ruby REPL. Server side:

$ pry
[1] pry(main)> require 'drb/drb'
=> true
[2] pry(main)> drb = DRb.start_service("druby://localhost:8787", self); nil
=> nil
[3] pry(main)> def hello; puts "Hello world"; end
=> :hello
[4] pry(main)> Hello world
[4] pry(main)>
[5] pry(main)> def hello; "Hello world"; end
=> :hello

The above exposes "self" which is this case is the "main" object of that Ruby instance, but you can pass it any object you want, and all public instance methods on that object will then be remoted, and any objects returned from those methods will be remoted dynamically as needed.

It then defines the "hello" method on main after the server has been set up. Doesn't matter when the methods are defined, as long as they're there when you call them.

The redefinition of "hello" in [5] happens after I've called hello the first time from the client (the "Hello World" in [4] was triggered by the client. The redefined version returns the string to the client instead of printing it on the server:

$ pry
[1] pry(main)> require 'drb/drb'
=> true
[2] pry(main)> client = DRbObject.new_with_uri("druby://localhost:8787")
=> #<DRb::DRbObject:0x000055828909f220 @ref=nil, @uri="druby://localhost:8787">
[3] pry(main)> client.hello
=> nil
# Here we redefine "hello" on the server.
[4] pry(main)> client.hello
=> "Hello world"

They could have used a Map (introduced in ES6 [1]) which maintains key insertion order. However, I'm not sure whether either the object or map interface would be significantly better or worse than the builder-style the author picked. It just doesn't seem to matter, IMO.

The interface that would be most flexible would probably be a list of alternating key values, e.g. ['fieldname', datastruct(), 'fieldname'] since then you could do all the list things to it.

How can a plane be inherently stable while exhibiting wild behaviors that cause the plane to fall out of the sky?

Yes, all designs have their quirks and limitations, but I'd say if you need an active system that compensates for the thing not being able to fly without one, it's not a stable design.

The airframe is, with the original engines. Not the bigger ones that extend forward and move the center of thrust.

You know what, this is a valid point. Before this incident I mostly filed away the re-rise of fascism as "just another American piece of weirdness" that would more or less correct itself given another five years. Perhaps now that we see similar problems in other countries it is time to investigate where the feelings of discontent that are giving rise to violent action are coming from on such a grand scale. On a global level, it's definitely not clear to me.

If it's about information content- I was concerned that people reading this article may not be aware that Gurjieff was a New Age guru. The article is written to present him as some kind of respectable philosopher who attracted a following of intellectuals and artists, rather than a cult leader.

I still don't quite get why my comment broke that guideline. What would be a non-shallow dismissal of Gurjieff? I mean, give me an example here, because I'm a bit confused, really. The man had no "work" to dismiss, he was just full of hot air and making it up as he went along. What else can be said about him than the fact that he was a charlatan?

I was just thinking about some of the barriers crypto implementations, for example, face when thinking of doing a JavaScript implementation. A library like this, especially for pedagogical code, eliminates a very important barrier, so, bravo!

The idea is a good one for another reason, because you can use this API to define a data-structure which can be 'rendered' in different ways - which could be useful for porting data-structures between node, DOM and WASM.

Bravo!
Haha. Same here for Red. I understand why they did it (it seems like they wanted blockchain and crypto currency to be their killer app), but I'm worried it was just a costly detour. That is their decision of course though and best of luck. The other thing they're doing (if I understand correctly) is creating a second code optimizer that is a paid product. So the default compiler created slower code than the commercial one I think.
