I'm sure they, like most publications, have a house style guide that dictates things like this to ensure consistency across articles and over time. They'll presumably follow that style guide as it now stands until it's updated, at which time they'll change all articles to conform to the new style. Depending on the circumstance, what a person or entity wants to be called isn't the only consideration when deciding how to refer to them in print, and publications don't generally tend to want to leave it up to the whims of individual authors.

There is an excellent Chinese singer (of German Lieder, as it happens), who used to go by the name of Shen Yang (with Shen being the family name). Now, quoting Wikipedia:

> he went on to win the 2007 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition.[4] After the win, noting confusion in the Western press over the name "Shen Yang", he decided to change its spelling to "Shenyang".

So that's somewhat unexpected, because while now the order is fixed, it really looks like he only has one name.

(BTW, Indonesians frequently have only one name (even in their official papers/passport), creating difficulties when booking flights, for example. Obviates difficulties with ordering the names, though :-)

Yeah, now I understand your question. Reading the blog post made me think it would actually be a full implementation of the Wolfram Language for free.

So I was curious and signed up for a developer license. I got to the confirmation page, which helpfully told me to run "WolframScript" to activate the license. But there was no download link, so I googled around and found this[1] page. They seem to only have packages for Fedora and Debian-based systems, but no biggie. I used `debtap` to convert it to a package that pacman can install, and then, moment of truth...

$ wolframscript
WolframKernel not found.
Use -configure to set WOLFRAMSCRIPT_KERNELPATH
Or export WolframKernel=/yourpath/WolframKernel

Uhhh... okay? And where do I get this WolframKernel from? I looked around my Wolfram Account page, and I don't see anywhere I can get this from. Google also doesn't help me here.

So... it seems you probably need a full Mathematica/Wolfram license before you can use this anyway?

Well, that's disappointing.

EDIT: OK, you can actually download it from [2]. My bad.

Right, I was suggesting the murder rate for tourists might be lower than the overall murder rate, which could make the "You’re 100x more likely to die in a car accident on your commute tomorrow than by a cartel member in Mexico as a tourist" statement correct.

0.06 is indeed 100x less than 11, but to compare to the car crash death rate above you'd need to estimate the amount of time tourists spend in the country per year. If you say 1 week per year that brings it up to 3.12 per 100k per year, so still less than the risk of dying in a car accident (in the US), but not 100x less.

Also, technically the statement was "by a cartel member", so you'd have to know how many of those murders were by cartel members.

> Tesla potential customers are not buying a Tesla in place of another batteries + sensor tech + gps

I feel like this is a poor comparison. When companies attempt to make luxury experiences affordable to the masses (yes, still more expensive, but at least within reach), the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Of course Tesla customers aren't going out buying cars instead of batteries. But what drives people to want to purchase Teslas? They don't just want cars, they want luxury cars, they want electric cars, they want sleek and modern cars.

The question is how does one build a car, make it out of the best parts so that the customer has the best experience, how does one build it inexpensively but still safely, securely, and maintaining the luxury quality.

If any old car would do, they wouldn't get a Tesla, they'd get a Honda Civic. That's not Tesla's target market.

> A lot of the Vallco project will be affordable housing

This is not true. The majority is market rate, with the bare minimum of affordable housing to just meet SB35 (and they played games with the SB35 calculation by including parking lots in the "housing" square footage, which the City Attorney pointed out and then was fired for "unknown reasons" right after). The developer is super shady and is using legal tricks to make themselves tons of money at the expense of the community. They don't care one iota about affordable housing.

There are plenty of other ways for them to be both profitable and provide below market housing without building millions of square feet of office space.

What a clusterF is modern Mac hardware:

- Keyboards with much worse action that are more prone to failure (from dust no less) and require replacing the motherboard to fix... all for a Touchbar no one wants and 0.5mm cut in thickness.

- Loss (over the years) of the ability to upgrade the CPU, SSD or memory;

- Display failures due to broken ribbon cables;

- The USB-C clusterF; and

- Loss of MagSafe (this one still hurts).

All for a premium price.

Go back 5 years and you have two great choices:

1. The 13" Macbook Air for under $1500, which was a great compromise of power, portability and affordability; or

2. The 15" Retina Macbook Pro, which was more upgradeable, less failure prone and had a better keyboard.

I bought a 2017 MBP and I deeply regret it. Luckily it hasn't failed yet. If and when it does I may be better off just throwing it away.

How did Apple lose its way so badly here? Serviceability matters. It's too expensive to be a throwaway device.

So who really cares if your throwaway $44k device can now have 8 instead of 6 cores? Really?
They claim, but then my MacBook Pro with the upgraded keyboard had to get fixed twice due to the "sticky key" issue.

But I'm not so sure it would be ideal. There are things which thrive better as closed source. I prefer closed source IDEs, they tend to be better designed with better long term vision. Most open source projects suffer from a lack of long term vision, tight design, and funding. There are some which do well in those, but not the majority... There are quite a few things that thrive better as closed source which would have little chance as open source projects.

Proprietary closed source has a built in mechanism for funding. That's a major plus.

Market segments. Whether us nerds on HN agree or not, Apple has a premium feel to their products — or at least that's how non-technical people tend to perceive them.

The only real attraction to a Tesla car is the deluxe nature of their marketing. Other companies are producing cheaper hybrids and fully electric cars, but Tesla isn't targeting the same market: they're going for the upper segment who're looking for a touch of elegance, sleekness, and premium quality — and therefore are willing to pay more.
For a ballistic or hypersonic missile you need it anyway, to radiate away atmospheric heating.

The challenge with an ABM laser weapon system is generating enough power on-target that it's not just a rounding error for the energy that needs to be dissipated anyway. A quick back-of-the-envelope physics calculation indicates that'll be hard. An 80kg warhead is moving at about 5000 m/s upon re-entry and has a kinetic energy of about 1 GJ. I dunno what fraction of that kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy upon re-entry; for manned spacecraft it's "almost all of it" because they need to go subsonic for parachutes to deploy, but for ballistic missiles, let's guess 1/1000th for ease of math, or 1 MJ. Current laser weapons systems have a range of about 1mi (and the range of lasers is heavily limited by atmospheric considerations - atmospheric refraction will reduce your accuracy, while heating of water vapor, dust, and air can sap the energy). That's about 1/3 of a second on target, so the power output needed is about 3 MW. Current laser weapon systems like the AN/SEQ-3 have a power output of about 30 kW. This needs to scale up by a factor of 100 under conservative assumptions.

Like the article said, the solution to many of these issues is to put the lasers in space and intercept missiles in the boost phase. Then they're moving slower, you're targeting volatile fuel & oxidizer instead of heat shields, and you don't have atmospheric losses to worry about. You do have the issue of how to loft a giant laser, capacitor, and energy source into orbit, though, and how to protect them up there when a conflict starts.
>>In other words, you don't execute code by calling it by name: you send some data (a message) to an object and it figures out which code, if any, to execute in response.

> I went a little overboard and created a C backend for the emulator along with an in-browser JS client that was pretty much a full-blown machine language IDE and debugger.

My favorite comment on this sort of thing was the claim that Apple uses components made from the powdered bones of unicorns. Sometimes I think that's not far off.
> you honestly have zero concept of what programming looks like outside of web apps

Are you serious? I don't do web apps. But almost 100% of our stack is based on open source technologies. Python, Twisted, Go, etc. Every single thing we use is open source.

It is ironic that you are accusing someone else of having zero concept of what programming looks like outside of web apps when one could easily think the same thing about you.
I would hope that if MBPs gain a numpad, it’s optional. For many it’s dead space that moves the home row and trackpad off center, making for an awkward typing position. In my case I won’t even consider a laptop that doesn’t have a no-numpad variant available.
There is nothing to forgive, many people conflate dynamic typing with weak typing, so I thought I would point it out.

Whether or not a specific method of typing is good or bad depends on the project and the developer(s) working on it. But if you're going to use that as a reason to make decisions, then you should understand the difference.
I understand that's the intent of standards, but rarely are there not limitations or bugs in implementations.

If this was truly the case, we wouldn't need things like Applitools to view our HTML documents in various browsers to scan for differences.
RT. I upgraded to the late-2018 MBP from a 2013 MBP and after three months of heavy dev usage cannot get used to the new keyboard layout (specifically arrow keys) and touchbar.

Yeah, it's great. When I use my MacBook Pro at my desk, I just use an external keyboard and that covers a lot of usage time where I don't have to deal with the touch bar.

The parent goes too far in one direction and you go too far in an other. I work in embedded linux development and my entire toolchain (kernel, userland, compiler, flashing tools, and desktop environment) are 100% open source. I suspect that people who target Windows or Mac OS might be in a different situation but that's to be expected, when you target a closed proprietary environment you end up having to use closed proprietary tools.

Admittedly I go out of my way to avoid including closed source components in my work but that's not just an ideological decision. As the parent points out, and especially when you're a developer, there's a massive amount of freedom and power to open source tools. Don't like something? You can tweak it any way you like. You don't have to worry about the IP owner pulling the rug from under you without notice. I want to use that code on my MIPS32 target? I can try to port it, I don't have to beg the vendor to release a version just for me.

If anything in my experience the archetypal "modern web dev" crowd (the one that got into programming through Javascript, basically) is the one that benefits the least from this because often they don't dare to patch their window manager or their shell to customize them. These days C is often considered a weird arcane language, something like the Latin of CS (including in this very forum) so people don't feel empowered to modify these applications. The fact that modern DEs like to treat their users like slow children instead of exposing the tools that could help them become "power users" probably doesn't help.

Then of course for people who don't actually try to read or modify the source of the programs they use "open source" is more of a political statement than anything else. There's no real benefit for them.

I'm making generalities of course, I'm not saying that all web devs fit this description.

I hope this trend will change as newer, more "friendly" languages like Go and Rust make forays in the system programming space. Hopefully that'll motivate the new generation to get over their fear of system programming and start embracing and customizing the tools their use.
Yes, a developer's edition. I'll take a heavier, larger device with more and varied ports and extended battery life please. An all-hardware keyboard with a useful arrow-key configuration that doesn't make me press the wrong key all the time. An actual 'esc' key so I have my caps lock key back.

>* College is more expensive (in large part due to Cook's generation cutting subsidies that they got),

College is more expensive because the government ensures that 18 year olds have uncapped credit cards for educational expenses and everyone tells them "dont worry about it right now". When you increase demand and defer all cost pressure by years, the cost will always skyrocket.

Blaming this on a lack of subsidies is actually backwards; providing guaranteed funding for education would further boost costs. As long as schools are setting the price, demand is high, and the money is flowing like water, that cost is going to continue to increase.

> * Environment is shot- that whole global warming thing isn't going away anytime soon.

But renewables use is also way up.

This is the parent's point: these claims utterly ignore the historical reality. We're greener than ever, we've stopped using CFCs and arsenic preservatives and lead paints and high particulate energy generation. We have more access to education than ever. And in the west, our wages are on average 5x that of the rest of the world.

So many of these complaints look ignorant and petty when you zoom out a tiny bit from one's personal circumstances. You have college debt? Cry more, you have access to more opportunity than the preceeding 99% of your ancestors and than 95% of your current peers.
