While some were meant for sea, in tug-boats ’Round the shore’s knee,

and always coming back to land),

Multiple things combined to give this explosion. Off the top of my head :

- 4G / 3G internet access became widespread, meaning you could suddenly have access to a lot of internet bandwidth in each phone user's hands.

- Android and iOS made it easy to make applications that are almost as powerful as what a desktop application can do, which lead to many app driven ideas.

- Countries like India and China rapidly embraced the internet and have huge populations on the internet now / on the way to the internet.

- Machine learning really kicked off once GPUs made deep learning viable, this allows a lot of data to be processed and insights to be obtained.

> The Model 3 may be "affordable" compared with the Model S / X, but US$35k is still luxury car territory.

Indeed, Model 3 is still very far from affordable. In Finland it sells starting at $70,600 (taxes included). I'm assuming there are also import duties from the US, though don't know the details. Needless to say, at this price point there are probably more people looking for an apartment than a car.

Although there is a significant number of Negative Nancies here I believe it can be teached but, even though I know it won't be a popular outlook, I see it like learning/teaching blacksmithy. Sure there is a theory, like which metal to choose, which degree to cook and which hammer to build but theory gets you so far. You need to show how a sword is actually done.

The concepts of programming can be learned from the noosphere easily, the resources are there to learn but good practices are not. A teacher should pass these as well, in addition to "what is a variable" etc. stuff. And like any course, if the student doesn't actually work on the stuff on his free time it is worthless - another analogy can be a guitar course here. No matter who your teacher is, if you don't play it at home willingly... you won't be able to learn how to play guitar.

My 2 cents...
I'm happy with standard notation when playing the piano or something that can only play one note at a time (e.g. trumpet), but I still can't get my brain to read it fast enough when playing the guitar.

I know tab notation exists to help with this, but it loses much of the detail encoded in standard notation - note lengths being the most obvious example. There have been attempts to create a hybrid notation and there are books with tab printed below the stave(s), but neither work well.

If anyone's found any alternative notations that work well for guitar, I'd love to see them.

Especially now that the perf option used to cost twice as much (now the uprated brakes/wheels are part of the perf package). Now autopilot (not FSB) is included. Also the new motors mean 370 mile range is available with the 100 kwh battery. AP3/HW3 is also now shipping as standard.

So yes the rapid progress means that the older cars depreciate quickly. This is only get worse with the next refresh rumored to be fairly soon.
Actually not. It is a huge matter of "pride" in South Indian weddings when the bride wears a lot of gold, my interpretation is that this is just one way to carry on with the traditions of dowry. Fake jewelry for the purposes of marriage is not as common in South India as it is in other parts of the country.

The post complains that markdown engines render supposedly-the-same-thing in ways different enough to constitute breakage, and that neither engine in question uses a formal grammar to indicate how the language is parsed, making translation between the two very difficult.

The complaint is not actually about any kind of syntax at all -- he mentions that pen and paper is his favorite alternative -- but rather the language's ability to yield consistent and reliable results across different implementations.

Hi. I did not mean to judge the software itself. It probably is very good. I was only airing my concern when a mistake of this kind was made. It is not this specific thing that was reverted that prompted several people to voice their concern - it is this category of mistake. If the author thinks it is okay to pin up an ad to the headers, what other silly and immature things would the author like to do in future?! That is the line of thought that puts me off.

This is not to say people don't correct their mistakes. I will of course take this software on its merit, but as I said in my original comment, I will now be extra careful before choosing this software for anything I care deeply about, and if I don't have such time, I simply will take the hard way and use something else.

A mistake like this does not provoke irrevocable loss of trust to me. This category of mistake warrants a big red beware sign in front of the product. I don't think that's bad.
Correct me if I’m wrong but micro-transactions have never been built into a browser people actually use. How do you figure that they have been tried before in any meaningful way?
I learnt to touch type on an IBM Selectric typewriter - just loved the sound of the ball striking the paper. Although I have tried other keyboards, I find QWERTY Ok.

I prefer to watch the screen when typing and never have to look down on the keys. That alone ensures that I my fingers can keep up with my thinking speed. I would think that one would get a sore neck from having to look down at the keys and then up at the screen.

Personally I prefer desktop PC and a keyboard with Cherry mechanical key switches. The tactile and acoustic feedback makes me think that I am typing accurately.
Removing undefined behavior is not actually the same as making C safer. In fact, in a sense, well defined C exists (many versions in fact), it's whatever your C compiler spits out with whatever combination of flags have been passed in.

This alone is enough of an inflammatory and conspiratorial statement that I have a hard time taking you seriously. It's a bad look to cry "shill" in the face of fair criticism.
> "What has stopped people from creating a standard with no undefined behavior? Is such a thing impossible?"

I don't understand the "undefined behavior" bandwagon.

1. We have a perfectly defined list of "undefined behaviors".

2. Said list also happens to be relatively small and scoped.

3. "Undefined behaviors" exist because the language can't make certain runtime guarantees which are largely dependent on compiler/os/platform/hardware-specific promises. If you have to, just roll in your own runtime checks. C won't force those on you...

Markdown doesn't have a spec. There's a "syntax description", which leaves a lot of ambiguities, and the original Perl script, which you could consider a reference implementation. But there certainly isn't a spec.

(Or, alternatively, there are several competing specs, like CommonMark, Standard Markdown, and GitHub-flavoured Markdown. But your comment seems to be suggesting that there's one authoritative spec, which there definitely isn't.)
If your language:

a) covers so little that every implementer feels a need to put their own conflicting extensions on it;

b) cannot be implemented consistently enough that one can be reasonably confident a document will probably render nearly-enough to not be described as 'broken' across engines;

and c) provides a "spec" in the sense of prose describing the author's intended meaning, but not a grammar or other formalization, test suite, etc. that can be considered authoritative for certifying that a given implementation is compliant (where compliant means that engines taking the same input will produce output close-enough to not be considered "broken" when compared to each other);

then your language probably sucks. Maybe it doesn't suck in the theoretical world where everything goes exactly as the language designer fantasizes, but it sucks in the actual world where people live and operate.
> A republic is a form of democracy

No, it's not.

But a democratic republic or representative democracy with republican form (as opposed to, e.g., a constitutional monarchy) is both a form of democracy and a form of republic.

There are autocratic and/or theocratic republics, among others, that are not forms of democracy.
Hello, why you can Pascal a low-tech language? Recently I heard about 'low-tech programming', not sure what does it actually mean.
We might be in the middle ages of software development. Think of the way European cities grew naturally versus the grid structures of American cities. Perhaps in the future the art of software development will have progressed to the point where creating a new application results in nice, square lines of code that are perfectly navigable.

I wonder if, at that point, we'll wax nostalgic about the way software used to grow organically. Ahhh, to lose myself once more in the meandering spaghetti of yesteryear...

For me it sucks because it ignores single newlines

Almost any place where I have to type markdown feels like it's plain text (typing a readme in an actual plain text editor, a git comment in vim, a plain text box like this one here in hacker news and reddit that also ignores newlines, ...), and plain text is supposed to listen to your newlines

But markdown will happily turn your two things you put on separaate lines into a single line, ruin source code or ascii art without adding special formatting, etc...

It should wrap long lines, but should listen to explicit newlines. The simplest text editor can, and does, do that.

What you describe is some sort of lesser evil - I still fail to see the massive positive force. Modus operandi for centuries has been to exploit the hell out of any country, be it Africa, Indonesia or South America and give nothing and take everything.

Only if government is not utterly corrupt and doesn't pocket nearly 100% of income from the mine can there be some lasting benefits for the country. Its just a continuation of theft and exploitation that made Europe so rich for last few hundreds of years, albeit with 21st century 'we care' face. Travel a bit in countries that were raped like this, ie Potosi in Bolivia to get full picture of where this sort of business came from.

So while few pocket some average income while the mine lasts, country is stripped blank of its most precious resources... and that is supposed to be something positive? I have somewhat higher moral standards than this to consider these kind of operations at least slightly moral and justifiable.
1. Tell them what to do but do not tell them how to do it. (Just give a few pointers otherwise they'll be lost.)

2. Give them a playground to fail - Offload any non-business critical tasks and let them make mistakes. No one I know ever learnt programming without making any mistakes. Immediately tell them about best practices and how to avoid such mistakes in future.

3. Show them the impact of their work - There's nothing more motivating than seeing the impact of one's work.

4. Build curiosity - Answer as many questions as you can answer. Admit when you don't know any answers and start looking it up on the web right in front of them. People pick habits by looking at their superiors.

I've read LotR in Polish in translation of Maria Skibniewska (she mostly kept the English names English, only adjusting weird ones to Polish structure where needed - like adding "-a" to female names etc).

Then I read another Polish translation, which changed all English names to Polish folk-names to translate the "familiarity" feeling in contrast to Elvish names. It was awful. Baggins was Bagosz. Couldn't finish it.

Then I read it in English (still not speaking English that well), and it was OK, but I had much more fun reading it in Polish. I noticed I couldn't skip the nature descriptions as well in English as I can in Polish, so it was much more boring :)

But I still think of these characters using the names from that first Polish translation. I guess you get used to the first translation you read, and then you only add secondary names to these characters, without changing the "true name".

During the Greek war of Independence I believe, children on a small island in the Aegean ran out to see the Greek soldiers who landed. A reporter asked them "why do you want to see them".

What I was getting at is that our important choices are about outcomes and those have nothing really to do with assumptions about reality. For example all should be equal before the law. A statement that is supposed to be true but very obviously isn’t.

Your post is great for the assumptions it encodes. Like what does it mean to be good at weight lifting? And that for some reason being good at weight lifting is a good proxy for being a good bouncer or construction worker?

For an off the cuff example it’s a great way to demonstrate the sort of bias we can naively introduce then defend because it’s just ‘reality’. When really it’s much more complex than identifying a relevant trait and assuming everything else falls out of it.
