Personal opinion: if the index is based on search, then if one language has better documentation, better ide support, less surprises, then the search count will be less and probably has a lower ranking in Tiobe.

And also, since swift's adoption domain mainly in ios development, it heavily affected by the iOS ecosystem.

My take on why objective c is higher ranked, not because it is better, but it has tons of gotchas, that people have to do heavy search to get things done.
Yes, but you can't do it trustlessly not even with all the crypto black magic in the world. Otherwise it would be great.

People in Bitcoin space have been trying all possible off-chain payment solution they could think of. "Sidechains" are a concept similar to your thing where people deposit bitcoins, however they seem to be impossible to do on top of Bitcoin (and on top of Ethereum too, even though people there have all computation tricks in the world at their disposal).

In the Ethereum space people came up with something called "Plasma" that is supposed to solve this and allow a big number of off-chain system use-cases, but it has an insurmountable number of flaws when you look closer.

In the Bitcoin space, there's an idea for implementing sidechains in a trust-minimized way (not 100% secure, but relying on the same game-incentives the power Bitcoin itself) called "Drivechain". Most of the discussion you'll find about "sidechains" on the internet is either people pitching the drivechain solution or criticizing or ignoring it completely and talking about Liquid, an off-chain payment system managed by Blockstream that is not trustless nor has any game-incentives.

Introduction to Amd64 Assembly Language
I have to admit that in a recent Ask HN I got downvoted for criticising the poster. It might have been better to say nothing. It's hard to judge, though, because sometimes, on balance, it's the best advice you can give. I can answer the question you asked, or I can answer the question you should have asked ;-)

I kind of think of it like the original question being, "I'd like to jump off of a cliff and I plan to strap pillows to myself to break my fall. What are the best pillow for the job for under $20?"

Upon reading the question you think, "Should I answer? If I don't, maybe this guy will jump off a cliff. If I tell them the best pillows for breaking your fall for under $20 without mentioning that the pillows definitely won't work, that's probably the worst thing I could do. If I say, "Um... your plan is probably not great. Pillows aren't going to save you from jumping off of a cliff", it's pretty negative but perhaps that's what the OP needs to hear.

With this particular question, I suppose it might be easiest to ignore it. However, I know I've felt exactly the same way at times in my career. Honestly, even now, if someone could provide me a TODO list of technical tasks and leave me to it, I'd be on cloud 9. It's would be especially good if they didn't complain when I do what they asked but the business suffered because they asked for the wrong thing.

There are actually some jobs that are a bit like that, but in my experience you always get bitten in the end. The programmer is always blamed, rightly or wrongly -- for the very reasons that the OP is unhappy with corporate culture!

I could answer: Do some freelancing and target small startup companies with pigheaded CEOs who have no idea that they actually need a development team. Most of those people will swear up and down that they know exactly what they want and that it will be 100%, for sure, the very thing the company needs. As long as you have a thick skin, you can take their money, ship them their software and when they inevitably blow a crater in the ground for themselves, just don't return their calls. I know lots of people who make a good living doing this.

But that's not what I think the OP asked for. They asked for a thing that doesn't exist. If they are the type to get hyper stressed out about inter-personal relationships, then going down this track is the wrong direction to go. So what do you do? Give them the answer to the question they asked, knowing that it's going to lead to unhappiness, or give them the answer to the question they should have asked?

I clicked on this article since I know of a good example of a donor making things complicated and half-expected to see it here. When I rented my current NYC apartment in 2012, I googled my landlord, a man named Paul Bogoni, and found this atop the search results: https://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/appellate-division-fir...

The cases in the article don't quite approach this magnitude of conflict — what do you do when a donor defaults on a pledge? What do you do when a donor sues you because they're unhappy with how you spent their money?
I'm a little shocked at the proposition.

The notion that 'you could feasibly make more money elsewhere, and therefore should leave' is not obvious to me, or I think to most people.

Chicago may have more opportunity than Michigan overall, but that doesn't mean there are not great opportunities in Michigan. But that's within the context of your imperative.

The real answer is that for most people, their job is not the defining artifact of their life, it's a means to support their families, and maybe give them an opportunity to engage with their communities, have hobbies, friends.

I think for young people, in their 20's the notion is a little big different, because moving is exploring and liberating in some ways, but that's only one phase of life.
I would believe it's an education problem, in that we teach things like recursion and local variables (the fact that the same variable can have different values in a nested call to a function) in intro CS classes but we don't really teach how post-NULL languages handle optionals (Option, Maybe, etc.). But it's something that should be part of an effective programmer's knowledge. It's not too unlike buffer overflows—all the people writing UNIX until 1988 were skilled, educated, experienced people, but at the time none of them were really aware just how bad buffer overflows were.
I looks like there's a lot of good code in there, and a lot of hard work so good job thus far. What I want to know is why is it so narrowly focused, as in all it can do is residential homes specifically, residential homes. Wouldn't it be better if it were a generic modeller/CAD program?

The article explains that the author did not go to public school:

> My parents held all kinds of alternative beliefs. When someone in our family got sick, they turned to home remedies. They home-schooled my seven siblings and me, and after that, I took college classes remotely. I never passed through any of the usual institutional checkpoints, where some authority would ask for health records, so the subject never came up.

Interesting how the South appears to have totally reversed course. In 1970, it appears it was attracting talent. Now, it's losing talent quickly. That's unfortunate.
I’m from Kentucky, live on the west coast, and I cannot at all sympathize with those from there and similar states if they complain about brain drain. If you boast stupid, backwards policies and only give economic opportunities to the well connected, don’t be surprised when the intelligent but not well connected people leave the state. Maybe I’ll retire to my backwards hometown but I make more than double on the west coast than I could (as an employee) there, so not moving back anytime soon.
>> what do you do when a donor defaults on a pledge? What do you do when a donor sues you because they're unhappy with how you spent their money?

Talk to a lawyer. Sometimes pledges are just empty promises. Sometimes they are actually contracts. The former can be ignored. The later must be handled by legal professionals.

Examples:

I promise to give you $100 = nothing.
I promise to match donations up to $100 = contract.
I promise to leave you $100 in my will = nothing.
Let my kid hang a painting in your gallery and get $100 in my will = contract.

The use of famous names can be tricky irrespective of whether they once donated or not. "The Micheal Jackson school of dance" ... expect lawyers. "The Trump memorial outhouse" = free speech ... also expect lawyers but feel good that you are in the right.
15" laptops that are 2" thick are largely easy to work on and get replacement parts.

However the popular "ultra" books and similar have to integrate more heavily to get close to 1". Even fans become hard to replace. Often there's no dimms (so you can't replace or add ram), even storage can be on the motherboard.

They are close to disposable unfortunately.

I feel like accessing the bytes that correspond to padding might be implementation-defined, but I couldn't find this in the standard.
Couple of questions:

First, why does ICANN keep insist on picking on .org? In 2004, or thereabouts, .org owners saw a proposal to restrict that gTLD to just not-for-profit and community groups. Considering .org was originally listed as the gTLD for "this doesn't fit into any of the other categories" (back when we actually enforced that .net be a network operator and .com be a business), this would have booted a whole lot of individuals and unorganized groups out of the space. It was also the first gTLD to be foisted onto Verisign, though it got moved to Public Interest Registry in 2003.

Which brings up the second question, why would PIR want price caps to be removed for the .org gTLD? PIR is, supposedly, not-for-profit itself and is owned by the Internet Society, a very not-for-profit group. Shouldn't PIR be pushing for .org fees to be as low as possible to sustain its mission of effectively operating the .org gTLD for as many people as it can? Shouldn't PIR be acting more like a credit union and less like a Verisign?

Why would someone feel pressure to use a credit? A person can have several extra credits at time. The credit system has a lot of advantages for Amazon, but time pressure isn't one of them.
If Intel are stockpiling 10nm parts now (Q2) so they'd have something on the shelves for Q4 then I don't see how their 10nm facilities are in a good shape. Furthermore, when everybody in the industry uses the 'x% yield' metrics, and Intel is using phrases like 'improving at a faster rate than anticipated', etc, to communicate yields, that means their proper yield metrics are far from looking good.

Oh, and STEM is different? Let me try: math and physics aren't about understanding quantity and the universe; they are about memorizing equations and pretending you know them just in time for the test. Computer science is about more about copying and pasting code and getting away with it. What you're describing - where gaming the system is the norm - is entirely valid, and a problem with education institutions as a whole, but it's completely independent of the subject matter.

I don't understand your last paragraph at all. Not everybody agrees, so therefore liberal arts education is invalid? Or not everybody agrees, so let's give up? These are defeatist attitudes to take in either case. Implicit in your argument, as a response to this whole thread, is that not "somebody has to do the work", which I have never argued against; you're saying "nobody should do anything but the work". Meaning STEM, or whatever BigCo is hiring for right now. We continue to have huge problems globally that either have nothing to do with technology or are directly caused by technology, that need to be solved with entirely different skillsets. People perform better when they are motivated, and money is a poor motivator after a certain point. You make a very poor assumption that someone studies one of these subjects and their skills and experiences just go into this void, and/or that I'm advocating that people major in something and strictly do that for the rest of their lives. If you want to do the hands-on work and major in Hands-On Working, then do it. But don't discourage others from doing what they want and are good at during the narrow window of their lives when society supports them to do it.

Now, consider the "meta-brain-drain" of 1) increased assortative mating (people are increasingly more likely to marry someone of similar educational and professional achievement) and 2) college-educated women delaying childbirth and having fewer children than non-college-educated women.

The net result is that more educated people tend to have fewer children than the less educated. If we assume educational attainment is correlated with intelligence, and children's intelligence is correlated to parental intelligence, this doesn't bode well for future generations. It seems like we as a society need to figure out a way to make "have children at a reasonable age" not be a low-status move for highly educated / driven / intelligent women.

Whenever I see this topic come up, I think back to the climactic speech in the movie Good Will Hunting, the one where Chuckie excoriates Will for wanting to put down roots in the community he grew up in. He concludes:

"It'd be an insult to us if you're still here in 20 years. Hangin' around here is a fuckin' waste of your time."

This was framed as an inspirational moment that finally pushed Will to achieve his potential. This idea -- that self-actualization requires abandoning your small-town roots -- is ingrained in our cultural DNA.
I'm not sure I can make sense of the "Gross" figures. The "Net" figures are easy to understand: people have generally moved to key urban areas, being CA, NY, IL, TX, VA/MD, GA and CO.

Compare that to the Net figures from 1940 through 1990, which show a clear migration to the Southern states. But I'm not even sure this is showing what it suggests. Is it simply a proxy for population growth?

Or is this thing just a symptom that people in general have a much lower chance of staying in the same state for 31-40 years?

I find the notion that people "self-select" into like-minded communities as some sort of "social segregation" baseless, even laughable. The South still has the echoes of slavery and (real) segregation that many have sought to escape. The implication here is that people are abandoning their communities. Are they though? What do they owe these states where they grew up? And are they abandoning such states or essentially being chased away because they simply don't conform to whatever cultural or religious norms dominate there? This seems particular relevant to the smaller and more rural states.

Bear in mind that education seems to be a partial antidote to religious dogma [1] in that people with more education tend to express religion less (although this is complicated and Christians seem to somewhat buck this trend). But given the cultural importance of religion in some communities, it seems like your more educated citizens are also more likely to leave, no?

19th century America was one of small, rural towns. With the railroad and homesteading these spread West. What probably began with the Industrial Revolution seemed to turn into a tidal wave of urbanization following the Second World War. Cities are just more efficient at delivering work opportunities.

So. You, as a Representative in this case, have most of your power based on geographic concepts. Not related to anyone you actually govern in comparison to the rest of the country. You then are completely surprised that the party governing your state/city that has largely engaged in sycophancy isn't attracting actually intelligent people.

This is the most least surprising outcome and it these areas need to continue to be absolutely economically devastated until the populace learns the consequences of supporting really dumb government policies.

At least then people spouting off "party politic" lines will realize there is a fundamental, realistic, constructive difference of parties int the U.S. and what it means for society as a whole.

Don't think the lawmakers want to inhibit movement rather, probably they want to use these conclusions to encourage people to stay. The prosperity brought by progress can be spread across many regions.

> People from my hometown (pop. ~7500 in Midwest), do not realize that they are falling behind at an almost exponential rate. Many are working jobs that require common training, they do not continue their education

Do you think it's caused by the lack of other people who are moving ahead aka role models or are there other factors(quality education etc...)?

I do feel and have seen despite being in the right place some people don't get same opportunities for upward mobility despite being literally next door.

Brain drain is one of numerous dynamics highly similar to Gresham's law, though with subtle implications. Goods movements, where mobile, follows direct reward.

Brain-drain may be for economic, technological, social, and cultural reasons. It's not uncommon for talent flows to be at least nominally bidirectional, though with different and distinct motivating factors. The flight of intellectual (and especially Jewish) European talent to the US before, during, and after WWII contrasts with black American's migration from the US, particularly though not just the South, to Europe. Contrast Fermi and Einstein against James Baldwin and Nina Simone. Both oppression (negative driver) and economic opportunity (positive) existed for each.

Within the British Commonwealth, substantial migratoon supported by some cultural and political commonality (even where other strong differences existed) facilitated vast human flows, generlly toward London, thpugh also other centres.

Similar dynamics exist within countries as well, often (per Jane Jacobs) at the urban regional level, particularly contrasted with rural regions. And hub formation / centres of excellence tend to accelerate such consolidation (a point Edward Glaeser argues relatively well, though with flaws).

Economic goods tend to move toward reward, and away from punishment or restraint, though the dynamic once in flow tends to be self-sustaining, at least for a time. There's much focus on positive network effects and growth, less on decline. But the immigration surces of migration toward first the U.S. Atlantic seaboard, and later the Western US, came from what had been earlier. priods' dynamic hubs. Why those declined should be instructive study.
Speaking frankly, I don’t see what anything that you posted has to do with brain drain. All you’re doing is pointing out unrelated things which you think makes the senator look bad.
