> The problem is that in most cases where I have to use markdown, it's not a source file. E.g. if in a git comment I use a single newline to separate some points, it's often a surprise to then find them concatenated on a single line.

Git commit messages (I assume that's what you mean by comment) are conventionally fill-paragraph'd with the traditional 72/80 limit, so I would expect this reformatting to occur. Markdown has proper bulleted list supports, use that. Or paragraphs. It also supports explicit linebreaks (two trailing spaces) but that's usually hard to read.

1. markdown (and most other lightweight markups) grew from email conventions and conventionally formatted text files (check out the text RFCs)

2. in emacs, re-filling a paragraph is an M-q away
I could understand if they just replaced the infotainment with a big screen like in the model S, but the only reason they replaced the gauge cluster with a section in the center screen is to save costs. Comparing for example with the interiors from Audi A3, Mercedes A class, or Volvo XC40 they all look much more finished and developed and practical, where the Tesla model 3 looks like an unfinished afterthought.

Trust is also not freely available in developing or poorer countries, so being able to see and hold something is more important. In the US, the incidence of theft* is so low that you can trust your electronic accounts won't be emptied, and if they are, you have a court/regulatory system that will make you whole. This is an important asset for developed countries to have as it greatly reduces transaction costs, whereas in developing countries, people have to deal with worrying about what happens if they get on the wrong side of someone who has influence.

Making a profit on pills is just one motivation in a very complex system of competing motivations, incentives and regulations that shape what "we" prioritise.

I think drawing conclusions from one specific motivation in isolation is too simplistic. Many other profit interests benefit greatly from a healthy population that doesn't spend all its money on useless pills.

And motivations other than profit, both personal and political, are very powerful as well.

I don't think there is much evidence that eliminating the profit motivation leads to better results in general -- on the contrary. But there is a lot of evidence from Europe that health systems with public buyer cartels can achieve the same or better health outcomes far cheaper than in the US.

Although some say that sky high US drug prices effectively subsidise those European outcomes.
these seem like tradeoffs which are straightforward to understand, which allow for simpler ABI & runtime. sure, the "UX" of the language suffers compared to e.g. Python, but at least the mechanics are easier to understand.

That is a truism, right? Currently in the US we have private pharmaceutical companies driven by a profit motive, so profits are what drives their innovation.

Setup a different system, and other motivations will drive their innovation, right?

I totally disagree. I don't agree with anything he believes in outside of software as far as I can tell, but the Cathedral and Bazaar was pivotal. Not only that, but if you've never looked at the source code for Nethack, you should. I admit, I haven't looked at it since he was leading the project, but it remains in my mind as one of the best pieces of C code I've ever played with. Also, his description of working with Fetchmail revolutionised (at least for me) the idea of just taking some code that someone else has abandoned and slowly improving it.

He never understood software freedom, but as far as I can tell he is responsible for communicating the way that free (as in freedom) software can be competitive in the real world. Before that, all anyone would talk about was how we had to have free software for moral reasons (which I personally believe). He was the one that saw how successful projects were being run, put 2 and 2 together and told everybody else how to do it. I have much respect for ESR and I wish that the good things he has done had a wider audience.
It's still there - downrated to being supplementary information somewhere below the buy buttons. It used to be highlighted, and in both the side box above the buy button and also in main product info right by the price which has now gone completely. If memory serves it used to be individually boxed or coloured, more as an actively highlighted "beware" this isn't from us.

I can only assume that's all intended to get more people to buy from sellers without realising.
Not sure I follow. You're not going to suddenly discover after two days of writing that you need a top-level header for the whole document, but you might very well discover that one of your "leaf" sections needs to be broken up further. The difference being that in your scheme I'd need to change all existing headings in the document to handle that.

Another (minor) thought: if you're the type who starts by outlining the whole doc with headers only, the Markdown approach naturally makes indentation follow structure.
There isn’t one, but my team also hasn’t been paged after hours in the entire time I’ve been here. Even if we were, most of our stuff has no direct revenue impact if it fails for a little while, and the real time requirements are on the order of hours or days before anyone outside the team notices.

Theoretically, if one of us were up at 3 AM fighting a fire, nobody would expect that person to come in at their normal time and just work as if it never happened. Coming in later or not at all would be well within bounds in that case.

The actual issue is that Windows and Linux don't properly use a ‘super’ key―while the ‘Win’ key is sitting there uselessly.

Ironically, MS' own ‘ergonomic’ (cough) keyboards have gigantic Win keys, right under the thumbs which are the strongest digits. These keys are great to use on Mac, it's an eye-opener as to how the historical keyboard mutations ended up in just the wrong way for two platforms (and for Emacs).

I could also say some things about the nonsensical shape of keyboards and the moronic replication of the typewriters' staggered key layout...

Quarter: Model 3 shipped
======= ============
Q1 2019: 63,000
Q1 2018: 29,980
Q1 2017: 25,000
Q1 2016: 14,820
Q1 2015: 10,045
Q1 2014: 6,457
Q1 2013: 4,900
Q1 2012: 0

If Tesla stopped hugely spending R&D for new products and new products they would be quite profitable. Keep in mind that 63,000 model 3 cars were likely on average $52k = $3.25B. 20% gross margin = $693M. Ah, found the actual number, automotive revenue = $ 3,723,861,000 but that includes the model X and Y as well as the 3.

Sure there would be some expense keeping the products up to date, but nothing like what is required to ramp up volumes and adding products like they have been doing.

So basically Tesla has been heavily reinvesting their revenue into future growth... and it's been working. If needed, they could slow growth and increase profit. Many of the Tesla competitors in the luxury segment would LOVE to fail and "only" ship 63,000 cars costing $50k each.

Tesla doesn't need new factories and products to not die, they could easily exist by keeping the model 3, S, and X up to date. Seems a poor decision to not finish the Y, but they could greatly reduce costs by changing an existing model 3 production line into a model Y production line. The cost should be greatly reduced since they share around 75% of the same parts.

So why can't they scale back? They just repaid $920M, they have $2.2B on hand, and had a automobile revenue of $3.7B with a 20% gross margin this quarter.

I don't get the "hole" they are in. Sure they will likely need loans to grow as crazy fast as they are (from last place to first in 7 years in the luxury/premium segment). But they could decide to just grow slower, why would that kill them?
> "The language could make those guarantees if it wanted to"

> "Of course by C's nature there are limits"

You seem to acknowledge the fact that most of the undefined behaviors in C are essentially born out of compromise. Those compromises were driven by principles such as "keep the power in the hands of developers", "don't impose unnecessary restrictions", "keep the language clean", "avoid hidden runtime magic". The end results reflect that.

As I've mentioned in my previous comment, there's no "one size fits all", so the language makes it trivial for you to roll out your very own runtime magic (à-la Zig/Nim) which suits you best. Why is that a bad thing?
I think it’s the other way around - people at elite schools are the most likely to complain and be listened to by their fellow elites, and that goes for the Professor here too.

I didn’t hear about any incidents like this at my alma mater, which is 20 miles away from Duke, probably because the elites don’t care about what we have to say. It’s one of the many things that turns me off from the “campus war” meme.
>it's simply accepted as the way things are

This is the type of comment I was talking about, putting the blame on fate. The United States has lots of natural resources, as does China, and many other developed and industrialized nations. These nations got developed and industrialized by exploiting the resources of poorer nations, colonizing them, ruining the existing local governments and economies in order to optimize them for resource extraction, and then leaving abruptly in the middle of the 20th century.

This is also the type of comment I was talking about.

I make 100K$/year with bonus and holiday allowance in Amsterdam as an medior engineer at a medium-sized company. I pay roughly 50% tax. Expats here pay 30% tax for the first 5 years, so their take-home pay is significantly higher. A senior engineer at the same company earns roughly 130-160k.

Senior engineers here that work remotely for US companies can earn upward of 250k USD, but I know very few that do - and you need to enjoy remote work. Other option would be working at a bank or insurance company.
And yet, after using Nim for many years hell_owl == hello_w_l has never been a problem. Again, it warned me in few occasions when I tried using confusing names like new_dir and newdir.

I didn't say class or type but "C strings".

You can't rip them out and replace them with something better without massive code legacy issues. And then you still haven't dealt with other sources of buffer overflows in C.
> Where it suffers is in notating timbre

There are a great many annotations to individual notes: lines, accents, staccato dots, slurs and brackets, dynamic markings etc. etc. that indicate timbre, and you've always got the fallback of just writing out what you want, and it's even acceptable to not even use Italian these days!

While we would lose some valuable content, the unpicking of the advertising monster from the world could only be a positive.

It preys on interpersonal communication and human psychology, and exploits everything good and trustworthy that it can to turn it into more dollars for itself.

Let's move to a post-advertising economy please, by taking back control of our eyeballs.
> To (god forbid!) remove Tesla, you have to write

You don't actually have to do that, markdown will convert numbered lists to an HTML ordered list, the numbers are just numbered list markers and otherwise ignored: https://hackmd.io/EVPo3hJpQBenp08uy4ZEuA

This behaviour is usually annoying.

reStructuredText supports "#" as a numbered list sigil (as well as various numeral styles e.g. roman or alphabetic). It also supports a custom start, however if the list is explicitly numbered it does not support "holes" e.g. 3 4 5 is fine (and will keep this numbering in the output), 2 3 5 is not.
It's been a long time since I wrote C, but the main problem in my recollection is that the standard library is not intuitive. Something simple like take a couple of arbitrary strings, concatenate them and return the result without leaking memory and not causing buffer overflows is not as trivial as it should be.

I don't think is a huge problem per se, though, you can just use a string library.

>Using a required course as a trolling arena

This is actually the most important point of this case in my opinion. Dont screw over students by going off topic in mandatory courses. Stick to the course material, your ego is not more important then putting an entire course of students at a disadvantage. Mandatory courses are mandatory for a reason, its so the students learn the basic foundation of their field of study. You dont get academic freedom on your mandatory lectures, as your day doesnt consist of only mandatory lectures. Create an elective course on the topic if its interessting to you. Profs who do this are the perfect example for why tenure is a problematic idea. Getting rid of a Professor who is sabotaging required courses is a monstrous task and generations of students have to suffer under the ego of one person.
Buffer overflows of your own data are your responsibility. The main problem is that there is no effective way in the language to control (prevent, or at least detect) stack overflows. For example, when you reach a recursion limit or when you allocate too many automatic variables. For scientific computing, the ability to fearlessly declare a local matrix like "float A[n][n];" for arbitrary values of "n" would be invaluable.
The meta-question they were asking was, "in the event of certain common attacks, will you actually pay out? Or are these definitions constructed deliberately to exclude that?"
There are no C strings, there are C arrays that can be made to be of char data. C++ has a string type , Qt has a QString type and you can inter-operate with code that wants C char array. If you were creating the C language and compiler at that time with that hardware would have you not implemented pointers and created Java ?
I thing the argument is more along the lines of:

1. Observed value drives innovation.

2. Profit / profit-motive is one of the most straightforward / most efficient means we have to observe value.
I started to really question my drinking over the last year or so. During the week I would drink a few beers or glasses of wine a night with a martini or other cocktail sprinkled in. The weekends would often involve more with a heavy hangover coming after neighborhood parties. I’ve gone the route of moderation and counting drinks and it was difficult to do, depressing and left me feeling deprived much of the time. One day I was in a forum reading a question much like this and someone mentioned a book called This Naked Mind by Annie Grace. It’s been a game changer for me and I’d highly recommend it. She actually suggests continuing to drink normally while you read it. She dives into a lot of the science and really opens your eyes to the world of alcohol around you. I haven’t stopped completely and I’m not sure if I ever will but the pull that booze had on me before is gone and I can confidently feel I’ll have a drink whenever I want; the idea of allowing yourself that freedom is empowering. Over the last 6 months I’m down maybe 75%. The social pressures are really the hardest for me now. The line of questioning you get is intense and something I was guilty of doing myself to others who weren’t throwing them back with me at the time. Best of luck in your own journey wherever it takes you.

Agreed. But Tesla IS doing really well on what consumers care about. Search for "Tesla owners are more satisfied than any other auto brand's, according to Consumer Reports" or similar articles.

Especially for first time electric car buyers, they really do seem rather worried about moving from a 488 mile range (like a honda accord) to a 240-370 mile range (Tesla). I suspect mostly because they haven't internalized the impact of being able to start each day with a full "tank".

> some groups are intrinsically less intelligent or apt than others

Do you have any specific examples? I am aware of controversies about some groups being on average more or less intelligent or more or less apt, but that has little to do with a) whether the variance is intrinsic or b) the capacities of any particular individual.

If the instructor is right about variance between groups, why does it follow that an individual should drop out? I wouldn't drop out of school upon hearing that on average Jews and people of Asian-descent are more intelligent than members of my ethnic group -- it is both true and irrelevant to my academic abilities or status, or whether the instructor is bigoted (they may or may not be, but making a true statement isn't evidence either way).
