Well thankfully the dilemma doesn't actually apply where I live at present.

I like it here, so the plan wouldn't be to sell, but it would be nice to experience Australia for a year. But then again, plans can change.
> If you want to understand RISC-V itself there's the specification, which is free and very readable.

Having spent a fair amount of time reading and referring to the specification, I definitely would not recommend it for someone who isn't familiar with assembly.

It is free though, so giving it a shot might be worth it.
> Google, in particular, collapses. ... Facebook probably goes as well.

You say this as if it’s a bad thing. In my personal opinion, both of these companies have ultimately done more harm than good. Maybe Facebook more so than Google, and some Google products have pushed various tech forward, but at the expense of being tracked and watched and having garbage we don’t want or need constantly punch us in the face for our attention. More people seem to be suffering from anxiety and depression and I personally think these companies are a major part of the cause. If they were to collapse, good riddance I say.

> Most media companies too.

Most media companies are garbage peddling clickbait or misinformation, or at least empty-calorie/low substance content. I read a lot of stuff online because I’m just as addicted as everyone else, but the amount that is a truly insightful, actionable or entertaining in an any way memorable way is tiny. Good riddance to these too.
I've been listening to the Revolutions podcast recently, and I'm currently in the post-french-revolution series of European revolutions. Kinda funny - France tried setting up some guaranteed-work promises and implemented them through a series of National Workshops, where you could theoretically show up, do some labor for the country, and go home after a full day with subsistence wages.

Of course, the people proposing/pushing for the idea and the people implementing the idea did not share a lot of membership, so the implementers put a person deeply opposed to the project in charge. Of course, no projects of use got approved, most of the projects that did get approved were obviously pointless and tedious, and they were constantly thousands of jobs short or what was needed to employ everyone who wanted work anyway.

So yeah, that's why we have the "digging and filling holes" analogy for useless make-work. Ideas are fine and all, but it doesn't matter for shit if you have an antagonist implementing them.
That must have been awkward. Did he say anything to you?
Plenty of people are making money in software especially from free and open source, just not the developers.
My guess would be:
40% julia users use Atom,
40% julia users use JuPyTer,
30% julia users use VSCode
30% julia users use something else (Vim, Emacs, Sublime, IntelliJ).

And it adds up to over 100% because many people use many things. I use all of the above
Yes, I'm familiar with that, but if said software is distributed under the GPL, one essentially gets to charge for the first sale. So programmers get paid for e.g. contract work, or custom one-offs, but not for writing retail software.

The corresponding model for artists is the Wu-tang clan selling the sole copy of their album to Martin Shkreli.
While working in defense R&D, I did my most interesting work and met some of my best colleagues.

Eventually I moved to SV and its greener grass: a better salary and a clearer conscience.

The truth is, I miss the interesting work, the competent managers, and having an office. Working to keep people addicted to their screens didn’t do wonders for my conscience or the state of the world.
Do they also suffer less liver damage and other health effects?
Nah, that's actually slightly positive in so far that it hurts the advertising industry.

The problem is with actual ads. The ones that distract, cajole and coerce people to do things against their best interest.
Fewer arrests != Fewer crimes.

When no arrest is made, the crime is not counted as committed by a juvenile.
Easy, Flutter is the last hope to make Dart relevant outside Googleplex, being dragged into Google's internal politics of Fuchsia, Android, ChromeOS.

Less mature than every cross-platform mobile UI framework that are around since iOS and Android have won the mobile market.

At the same time Fuchsia how has a UI composition engine, where Flutter is just one option among many (Scenic) and they are toying with a Rust based one (Fuchsia-ui).

Being burned by Dart 1.0, I will only take it seriously when it officially gets adopted by the Android team.
>You just requested a random feature which contradicts the point you made in the previous sentence.

1) Requesting a feature immediately after was intended as a joke.

2) It still doesn't contradict it. The first point merely advices the programmer to "not get overwhelmed by feature requests". Such an advice is not contradictory to making one from a formal logic perspective.
Some of these are AirBnb superhosts (multiple renters sharing). They want to avoid low ratings due to:

- strong food smells

- dirty pots and pans, spills

- poor sharing behavior

There may also be safety/insurance/lawsuit concerns. And less profit due to appliance/plumbing repairs.
Bach wasn't relatively poor - he was comfortably middle class, as it was then, with a secure job and extra income from a concert series he set up. (One of the first in the world.)

Mozart was relatively poor because he was terrible with money. Some of his contemporaries, especially opera composers, did very nicely indeed - something which continued to be true for centuries.

Handel was easily the equivalent of a modern multimillionaire. Some performers and/or composers - Paganini, Liszt, various opera singers - earned far more for each performance than modern artists do.
This totally depends on unspoken agreement and assumptions.

- You invited me to dinner, went to shopping, bought some stuff to cook, one ingredient was bad, I got poisoned.

In my opinion, here you don't have responsibility, because you acted with your best knowledge and good expectations from shop.

This kind of stuff is happening on google a lot too, this is not totally about some small shady company, working with another shady company.

Most, if not all of them, use fixed IP addresses which would be trivial to block regardless of what hip new crypto schemes they're running. Any customer can get the full server list too - worth it to a censor for $5.

The only real threat is something like Tor which is very aggressively and actively probed/blocked in China.
Too late my friend, we already achieved to kill most of our startup ecosystem and made fly away any kind of entrepreneurship. And not only about internet-related businesses but in a broader way.

Not only that but Japan encourages alcohol consumption while enjoying the highest rate of stomach cancer along with Korea in the whole world. You have to wonder what the government is thinking, or how much corrupt politicians are.

They did not have coinage, but they already had prices and also professional musicians (besides other non-producing professionals which appeared there for the first time, i.e. judges, medical doctors, accountants and prostitutes) (obviously, chiefs and priests existed much time before written history).

Initially the prices were expressed as weights of precious metals.

The coins, which allowed simpler payments, without the use of weighing scales, appeared thousands of years later after the prices, probably in Lydia in the first millennium BC.
First figure out whether you’re an actual consultant or an external/freelancer.

If you’re a freelancer the bar is fairly low, if you’re a consultant you should really be bringing more to the table.

Read the secrets of consulting by Gerry Weinberg.

Network with other consultants, they’ll become a major source of new work for you.

If they didn't come to you for a follow-up interview or had your testimony requested, my guess is that the assailant was released without charges.
> Advertising has been around for centuries, perhaps even millennia.

Not really, unless you stretch the definition so much that it does not make sense anymore. The problem here is the advertising industry, not the small sign on a local business, when you stretch definitions, of course the reasoning does not work anymore.
Definitely. This always happens when Facebook comes up here. People forget to use their brains and just rant about how evil Facebook is.
It's not in the best interest of advertising platforms to give accurate data; their interest lies in giving data that makes you believe the money you spend on their platform is giving you good returns.
Liable is a bit strong word here, liability without fault is mainly rejected concept in modern world.

> The first archaeological evidence for human foraging on Madagascar may have occurred as much as 10,000 years ago.[10] Human settlement of Madagascar occurred between 350 BC and 550 AD by Austronesian peoples, arriving on outrigger canoes from Borneo

People lived in Madagascar 10 0000 years before arrival of proto-Malays.

This exchange is really interesting to me because it's really exactly the exchange that I've seen between Americans and Japanese people when they talk about a variety of topics (not just drugs). Americans (and to a certain extent people from some other western countries) seem to really value freedom culturally. It is to the point where even contemplating exchanging some freedom to gain something else is just obviously morally wrong without having to go through the necessity of justifying it.

I often say that one of the reasons why many Americans (and British people as well) have difficulty in Japan is because both American (and British) culture are heavily moral, but that they have completely different values than Japanese culture. Both think the other completely immoral at times.

The general Japanese response to the general American comment that people must be free is that individual's must not be selfish. The idea is that you decide as a community what kind of society you want and everybody has to be unselfish and give up some personal freedom to achieve this.

I get along well in Japan mainly because this is the kind of culture I enjoy. I get very frustrated in the freedom loving, but ultimately comparatively selfish environment of my origin, Canada.
This text reads as obvious sarcasm to me. The saying "no means no" refers to rape. To apply it to playful tickling in family is so ridiculous that it is even offensive. Of course, kids say NO when you tickle them, and they love it!
My biggest problem with Google search these days is their recent push towards localized results.

I speak two languages, english and german. I set my search preferences accordingly and expect the results within those languages to be ranked by their actual quality. However it seems Google favors results in my local (german) language, which often don't appear to be the best results if both languages were weighted equally.

Particularly when searching for "{popular game/album/film} review" I perceive the returned results as subpar, simply because my local media landscape doesn't seem as thorough, high-quality and in-depth to me.
Your second point is pretty interesting. I wonder why it’s easier for people to blame drugs, rather than overarching social failures, such as the incredible lack of housing. Maybe those issues are more complex.

Consider that Paris is comparatively very trashy but also way more conservative than San Francisco.
Of course. After 9-10 years they probably make tremendous salaries. I guess they could take a pay cut and go somewhere else, or even retire, but that’s not for everyone.

Facebook forgot that “change the world” isn’t the end goal. It’s to change the world for the better. At that, they have failed.
I'm reminded of the three panel meme comic.

yes but the social insurance system is deep in the red so technically your surgery is paid with debt.
So in one and half months they haven't found time nor a volunteer willing to do another podcast?

My favourite podcasts have weekly and bi-weekly updates.
I would assume good debug-tooling should make spotting such cycles quite easy, why is this even considered a problem?
You dont have to drink alcohol when you go out drinking in Japan. you always have the option to go for soft drinks.
Yes. We have thousands of lines of code in MS SQL procedures (each in its own file in our repository) because that's the only server-side language supported for customization in our CRM system.
More importantly to me, Julias combination of features means code is not very self documenting and error messages are (often) terrible.

If I need to understand what subtle assumption of DifferentialEquations I violated stepping into the point of failure is God sent. And that's a well documented package.

More importantly, I now can usually reason my way around. But my students can use this to learn what goes wrong in their codes interaction.

This is a massively important step in the tooling and ecosystem. Congratulations to the developers.

You sold something. What happens to it after that is no longer your concern.

At least you are a shareholder of a company that has just made a good deal in cash.
But from what you wrote it seems that that company is privately held, so your shares are not so liquid, i.e. may not be so easy to sell.
As a shareholder you should have access to company info.
I have been working as a consultant/contractor since May last year.

I found my first jobs on UpWork, where Robotics is quite niche field. Being a niche field there are not many jobs available (I'd estimate there are 2-3 a month that fit my skill set) but also there are not so many freelancers doing Robotics.

Starting on any freelancers platform you need to start building reputation, which can mean you will need to sell yourself well or do the first project for peanuts (my first one was converting some Python to C# that took me 8 days and I earned 10$). In the second project I earned about 2k$ and in further ones I was already earning more per hour then in my previous job.

My advice is anecdotal but if someone advertises "a simple project for ..." then they don't treat it very seriously and won't be willing to pay for quality. The clients willing to pay more for your services will also respect your time more and are usually much easier to communicate with.

Avoid fixed price contracts if you can unless you know exactly how to do the project and can predict any pitfalls. Charging by the hour/day/week/month is in my opinion least risky and if you encounter huge issues you are still paid to fix them.

Speaking of issues. Firstly make sure that you know the requirements clearly, before starting development make sure you understand all stakeholders. As you are developing the project communicate frequently with the client about any doubts to the client and make sure you are on the same page. If you see anything off - communicate this! The requirements will never be perfect and if you put yourself in the user's shoes you will be able to identify things your client missed and this way you will be bringing an extra value by solving problems before they even arise.

Sorry for the wall of text, hopefully you will find any of this useful. If you have any questions feel free to ask here or e-mail me (I hope my e-mail is in my profile).

Good luck!

Ref counting can also be slower than tracing GC when getting rid of complex data structures, heavy multi-threaded code and can lead to stack overflows if destructors are incorrectly written.
>Seems your argument over ownership comes down to force ?

ALL arguments over ownership come down to force.

This is how we wound up having nations - some group had more force than some other group. It continues to this day - war exists as the most obvious example of this but softer forces, such as the ability to demand and enforce sanctions also count.

In a wider sense, ALL law comes down to force, since without the ability to enforce(!) it, law is meaningless.

Put much more simply: people with nuclear weapons don't have to pay their parking tickets.
> Voters are critical to democracy. Advertising isn't critical to society

Advertising is absolutely critical to society. Without advertising we can't figure out what companies are selling, because they can't tell us. That puts a real crimp of having a functioning economy.

I don't have statistics handy, but I assure you that if advertising were generally banned there would be a lot less, say, smartphone owners. If you think the average person is capable of figuring out what is available from word of mouth you are grossly overestimating what a normal person is capable of.

> Advertising isn't critical to society, it's mostly a way for a lot of people to waste a lot of time, man-hours and natural resources on zero-sum game

It isn't a zero sum game. It is value add. People can't exchange money for goods and services they want if they can't find a vendor selling said goods and services.
Alcohol has virtually no positive health benefits. Ethanol is potently toxic and will cause DNA damage throughout your body and kill a number of other cells in the way.
Hmm. I guess there are conflicting sources and views on this. Your page says:

"At its latest, the Transition is said to have ended with the first peaceful transfer of executive power, after the victory of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in the 1982 general election."

That's where I got the date from. I guess I don't consider a country to be democratic until there's been at least one election where the previously elected government agreed to leave.
> This is clearly an unsatisfactory situation for three key reasons: the woman wishing to be pregnant has been denied her chance of motherhood, the embryos have been destroyed and a considerable amount of money has been wasted.

This whole argument shocked me. I don't know if the author follows a logical fallacy, or something else is at play, but first of all, I fail to recognize how an embryo would be part of your own body. Secondly, I really have issues following her argumentation that consent from her then-partner isn't needed to transfer and make use of the embryos.

The article then goes on to argue that very position, which seems to be a bit out of place. I don't really follow the arguments that:

> Biologically, a man’s role is limited to the act of fertilisation and from that moment onwards, the woman bears the burden of gestation through to labour and child birth. Conferring ownership of the embryo to the woman could go some way to address this imbalance.

Given that for IVF, a woman's contribution to an embryo is exactly the same as a man's (one gamete), and the burden of gestation hasn't taken place.
Very interesting design!

So, for the most part art was like everything else: If someone wanted it, they paid you to produce it. If you thought you could produce something people want you made it and maybe someone bought it. Or not. Same as a carpenter making a chair or a table. Maybe someone buys it, maybe not.

Then we got copyright and with it the idea that producing something gives you rights to every copy of it. Like a carpenter building a chair and laying claim to a chair someone else build, cause "they looked at my chair".

I think this is absurd, but many people seem to like it.
Oh, ok, so it’s his/her fault for seeing the “wrong” ads? Gotcha.
Linux kernel was also probably a lot smaller back then. Easier to reason about things when something goes wrong.

Personally i think when projects grow, there is a point after which you cant really reason that much about what is going on, just have to debug it.

Is there some legit criticism on him and provable dishonesty? I don't know much but I seem to recall him publishing stories uncovering and/or reporting on what could be viewed as problematic or even embarrassing things about japanese culture.
THe problem with Mastodon is a) discoverability and b) Twitter-like UI. Both of which I find hard enough to not bother with it at all. (disclaimer - I never used Twitter due to what I think is a horrible UI) I registered in Mastodon long time ago, when first articles appeared, followed some random maybe interesting people, tried writing a few posts and just dropped. I still have client installed on my phone but last time I opened it was half a year ago. And I use other social networks daily.

Instead of writing Twitter clone they should have done a LiveJournal of Facebook clone, with better interface, different approach to privacy and discoverability etc. But being Twitter-like it is simply not that interesting.
I say make the world more interesting not less... People are adults and they can decide. To the extent that I agree that society 'needs to change' the most serious problems (abuse) are all things which have happened in private. It someone wants to be borish in public, everyone is aware, everyone can deal with it.

Uhhh I'm mega out of my depth on that subject -- I don't know. If the systems you're discussing can kick off the distributed computing by just receiving SQL, then there are definitely crates to do that in rust -- that's just a matter of sending SQL on the wire in the right format, right?

I can talk about some SQL drivers though -- I've used `postgres` (postgres), `rusqlite` (sqlite), `r2d2` (connection pooling) and others to great success building some relatively small codebases. For a more pre-baked approach `diesel` is the ORM that everyone is generally on if that's your speed.

Just in case I misinterpreted the question -- were you meaning to say that distributed computing using Oracle/DB2/SQL Server are examples of contradictions to my statement of "everything else" being "application/solution-space level optimization"?
actually when the project is too big you can't debug it, you need to trace it.
