> Other JVMs

So I need to switch to exotic JVMs to get better performance?

> I think Clojurists (which probably outnumber all other professional Lispers combined several times over) would disagree

Does the number matter, since most of them have a) never used Lisp nor b) do they know anything about Lisp implementation? Things like 'no TCO' in the JVM are no question of the number of people using it, it's simply a fact.

If the JVM would be a better match, then Lisp implementations on it would have a better start-up time - like most Lisp runtimes have.

There are many reasons to use the JVM, but good support in the JVM for Lisp implementations is not one of the strong points.

> Delimited continuations and eventually tail calls are coming as part of Project Loom

Which means, after reading the linked doc, that neither resumeable exceptions nor TCO are in JVM, neither currently nor in the near future. Now the usual arguments about TCO are: a) one does not need TCO b) it makes tracing difficult c) it's a security problem d) we can do recursive self-calls e) a future version of the JVM will provide annotatations for tail calls f) using TCO would provide interop problems with JVM code... etc etc.

The fact remains: TCO is not supported by the JVM, while this capability is a part of many other runtimes.

> probably even more valuable (these capabilities have been designed over the past decades to suit the needs of millions of developers running huge backbones).

That's all great, but I don't develop huge backbones all the time.

> I'm not saying that HotSpot is always the best tool for the job

Your original claim was this: 'if someone is going to assert that another platform is competitive with JVM, then not only is performance important, but capabilities as well.'

We are now talking about capabilities like full TCO and the JVM simply does not provide it. It currently provides no TCO at all.

> You don't need to use a Java IDE

It's not about what I need, it's that capabilities like extending the IDE on the fly are still not available in an IDE like IntelliJ - why? After downloading a plugin, it wants to restart the IDE. Something which a typical Lisp system on a Lisp runtime brings for free, because of its capabilities.

Apple's industrial design team was great when Steve Jobs was alive. After his passing the team hasn't produced anything good. Take Homepod for example. It is an amorphous blob. Google Home has a better industrial design, and so does every single Bose speaker. Apple's industrial design team is coasting on the reputation built during the Jobs years; their current work is crap.

The article claims the practice "was uncovered by Business Insider last week", implying FB was being sneaky about it. But if you look at the Business Insider article (https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-uploaded-1-5-millio...), you'll see this:

> A Facebook spokesperson said before May 2016, it offered an option to verify a user's account using their email password and voluntarily upload their contacts at the same time. However, they said, the company changed the feature, and the text informing users that their contacts would be uploaded was deleted — but the underlying functionality was not.

> "Last month we stopped offering email password verification as an option for people verifying their account when signing up for Facebook for the first time. When we looked into the steps people were going through to verify their accounts we found that in some cases people's email contacts were also unintentionally uploaded to Facebook when they created their account"

so Facebook discovered this bug in an audit of its code, fixed it, and planned to notify everyone who was impacted.
The back and forth in the comments is kinda fun to read, but regardless of what we think these things are, shouldn't we at least be stoked that someone (aliens, Chinese military) may have some cool-ass tekmology, and that the US Navy seems to think so too?
As someone with a fasting glucose of 95-99 (my GP isn't concerned, I'm not a diabetic), I wonder why would you want to reduce fasting glucose if it's not even in the prediabetic range?
I have a Matrox millenium (best DOS card ever!), three G400 cards and one G400 Max. They worked incredibly well with Linux esp with multiple monitors. I had 2 of them in one tower, driving 4 monitors at once at some point.

They also had great Linux framebuffer console support.
Their RAMDACs were legendary.

I must confess that it grinds my gears too when people rail against makers for being 'selfish' or discriminatory when the things they make end up best suited for people like them.

You could even see such a accusations as implicitly insinuating that the non-catered-to groups are somehow less capable of innovating their own more suitable alternatives.

The worst is, even if you deny Linkedin access to your contacts.
Your contacts will still show up in suggestions, because others have givein LinkedIn access to their contacts.
And LinkedIn maps it with your Linkedin signup email address.

We do (mostly) have these laws: it’s called GDPR. Unfortunately this doesn’t apply to everyone, but the good thing is that it’s forcing the internationals to put the software frameworks in place to deal with it ready for when the US decides to join in.
Sass and other CSS generators were useful a few years ago for rapid code generation. However, CSS has caught up as have editors and it's hard to see what real advantage Sass has today.

Some novel things like a primaryColor variable to easily adust your theme is easily replicated with a traditional find/replace.

The fewer frameworks / compiles-to X languages you have to learn the better.

IMO, a little redundancy is better than a little complexity or a little dependency.
> if you hold USDT and want to sell it for cheap, who is going to buy it for cheap-but-nonzero?

The market price for one Tether is currently $0.9984 because traders are buying at that price.

So if anyone holds Tethers and believes there's greater than 1% probability that it goes to zero, the rational trade is to sell.

The fact that the price holds at parity tells me that Tether is not an obvious fraud.
Kraken, a US based exchange trades tethers for dollars. This is plainly incorrect.

GDPR is not just cookie banners. It's about putting the users in control of their data. It empowers you more than ever to find out what kind of data is collected about you, how/why it is used and with whom it gets shared.
More focused programming. Become an expert at a more narrow niche than "full stack programming".

Trying to do two completely different jobs is going to lead to poor performance in both.
There's also companies that create open source projects and go on to build highly differentiated value-add products on top of it. E.g. Databricks (owners of Apache Spark) who built a great SaaS product for managing data science pipelines. That product is so valuable it's almost as if they don't even need to monetize the spark project by itself.

What I don't like is the companies that create some open source project for the hype, then charge for a 'management console' or some marginal add-on.

Well some of us think webpack/react and the rest are even worse and that a page-reload never killed anyone.

I don’t work in a tech-focused business, because I work in the public sector. That means our funding is fairly limited, even though 90% of our workforce spends 5-8 hours a day on some for of smart device or pc. Because we’re limited, however, we need to be careful about how we spend our resources, and that means we simply can’t keep up with the modern frontend environment.

If all you do is angular, then the transition from AngularJS to angular 2 might have been smooth, but it sure wasn’t for us, and neither would the big react-versions be.

We also can’t really take advantage of the package/library environment because we’re not as fault tolerant as others. We can’t have security issues, but we also can’t code-review 70 packages/libraries every week because there was an update.

As a result we’re back to using the old MVC frameworks that don’t change every day and have solid standard libraries. We did buy a frontend “platform” so we can have things like editable grids without constant page-reloads, but in general, JS is something we add to a specific component only if it’s absolutely necessary.

I am looking forward to when Flutter finally has the ability to build websites. Because then we’ll have both mobile platforms, web and desktop frontends covered in one tool. Which is frankly exactly what we need to be productive in 2019, that or we’d need to hire 2-3 people, and the latter is just not happening.
Essentially, if you are a public company, you can't afford to spend resources on products that have a limited market when you have projects that you know will be successful to produce. You can only spend the occasional resource on what I call "technological flexing" where a company develops a product to show off what they are capable, such as the Galaxy Fold.

As someone that work in the product design field, I fully expect that the vast majority of my ideas don't see the light of day. You have to have zero ego when it comes to discarding good but impractical ideas. My job is to come up with the best ideas that provide the most value to customers and the lowest cost to the company.
This appears to be widely circulated by the Flat Earthers and Moon Landing is a Hoax people.

You'll notice that no actual evidence is given. In addition to the tide problem mentioned, it is extremely hard for the plasma theory to explain the consistency of shapes and patterns, the observed spectra, the ability to reflect radio waves, the observed flashes of meteorite impacts, and more.

The argument along the lines "if it is made of plasma then it will call for new physics" is true. However, one must first demonstrate the plasma nature of the moon.

Besides, the moon is actually made of cheese. I saw the documentary where a human and dog went there.
I am actually quite disappointed with sites/books which talk about circuit "schematics". They are all too basic. What i am looking for is a book which a) Will take a non-trivial schematic for an actual product and walk me through deciphering it b) Will show me a actual PCB and derive its schematic from it. This is kind of like trying to understand the architecture of a system given its codebase and documentation. While there are lots of books which walk you through understanding software (eg. Linux Kernel) i have not found one which will do the same for electronic schematics. As a person self studying Embedded/Electronics systems, i find this a big drawback for real-world understanding. Perhaps some experts here can chime in with suggestions on how i can acquire such a skill.
It does make his programs better, because what's the alternative? If he would have used C, it would be equal to "spreading the risk of unsafety all over the complex parts of the codebase". What the writer is doing here is strictly better than that.

Your moral position is based on market capitalization?

The core piece of ElasticSearch's technology is Lucene, an open soure project. Elastic the company uses this open source work to become a 5 billion dollar company.

The core piece of AWS's ES service is ElasticSearch, an open source project. Amazon the company uses this open source work to further enrich themselves.

Amazon is bad because they're a 1 trillion dollar company. Elastic is OK because they're a 5 billion dollar company.
This could be fixed fairly easily. "Hey Russia, if you're listening, it sure would be nice to dox Mark Zuckerberg and all of his contacts." FB would think a bit differently about privacy. Dumb *ucks.
>In fact, over the air updates, which was one of the most amazing accomplishments and features of iOS has little design at all. It’s just smart engineering that works well.

I disagree with your statement completely, a lack of interface is still an interface and requires careful design considerations on the backend.

They are the worst... every few months, I will end up with like 20 emails at once asking to connect with a coworker on LinkedIn. They will be to 20 different email lists that I am on, which all get sucked up by LinkedIn and spammed. I don’t even have a LinkedIn account.

growth is all the rage these days among startups. essentially how you can use tech to make products that market themselves in more predictable/ sustainable ways than just one-off product launches or paid ad campaigns. i've seen full-stack devs go into growth/marketing and essentially operate as a one-person team since they can launch and scale tests from idea to iteration. What's going on at reforge.com may interest you in this regard. It's applicable for both B2C acquisition and B2B lead generation.

another compelling angle to take is to get a deep understanding of applied statistics/ data science so you can build analysis tools or predictive/ML-driven features on top of the core products you're building. this might overlap with your existing skills quite well already, plus, it's growing faster in demand across industries/geographies.
Will it ever create something that really sticks with you though. Something you can whistle or hum after watching?

I think it’s unfair to say that just because there haven’t been legal action, there has been no action.

I live in Denmark, our data-protection agency has only recently gotten cases to a point where they could roll out fines. And that’s just for the small-scale offences that were legally easy to handle.

Some of the larger breaches will take many years to handle before a case is strong enough to be brought to the police. It’s also worth noting, that breaches of the GDPR don’t automatically lead to legal action. It’s only if organisations systematically abuse data or if they fail to fix whatever problems a GDPR audit points out to them, that legal action is the end result.

If you have a breach, like if a supplier forget to exclude an API key from their GitHub repository and I it leaves your employee names vulnerable to the entire world. But you find it, report it, fix it and tell the affected parties ie comply with the GDPR procedures. Then you’ll have breached the GDPR, but won’t have broken the law.
To be fair, there are hundreds of millions of Americans, so that statement may be literally true.

Not many I suspect. What I'm sure of is that you can't learn to interpret schematics using a symbol reference. A circuit is a composition of components that follow a number of idioms that must be understood to grasp the intent.
Eh, I don’t really think I want to do that. I like my job, where it is comfortable and familiar, and I can do it easily 9-5. They pay me well, keep giving me more money and incentives to stay, and they like me.

I like having an easier time at work, and then being able to spend my hours and brainpower relaxing with my kids and wife.

Yes, life is fleeting. I don’t want to spend all my creativity and brainpower on work.

I agree. While nice, this article is like a “how to read a program” article that lists the language’s keywords and what they mean, and stops at that.

I can see the case she’s making for film photography, but her remarks on digital photography came off as having a bit of a gripe against physics itself. Any darker and lower-contrast object is going to be more difficult to photograph in detail than a lighter higher-contrast object. To imply that the reason technology hasn’t sufficiently (in her opinion) overcome this challenge is due to racial bias is quite a leap. Especially since low light and low contrast photography has such a broad application outside of photographing people, and is met with all the same challenges.
I learned to read schematics by doing it. It helps to have the schematic, a working device, and an oscilloscope so you can probe waveforms on the PCB in locations that seem interesting in the schematic.

Modern devices have the most interesting parts inside chips, so it's easier on an older device like a 1970s Hi-Fi amplifier. They were designed to be repairable, so they often came with schematics (!) and had corresponding labels on the PCB.

Reverse-engineering a PCB back to a schematic is painful, for the same reason that converting object code back to source code is: the schematic is nicely organized for human comprehension.
It's also unfortunate that law makers for 20 years decided that online isn't real so what happens there doesn't really matter.

> But in a real project do you really have time to go through all this effort every time just to solve something do something legitimate that the rust designer's didn't quite consider?

That should be rare because if that case of yours is common, someone has already "safetify" (put in a safe interface) in a crate that you can pull in and use.

Secondly, your time spending on "safetify" your unsafe code is just a trade off for time debugging safety issues in the future when you use your unsafe code in the future. Heck, Rust was born also to let people declare the way their "unsafe" code can be used in other to parallelize, because keeping all the unsafe contracts in your head (or even document) is not scalable.
