For all the love Microsoft has been getting these days, I still don’t get how I’m supposed to write C# or F# without Visual Studio and Windows. Am I missing something? VSCode doesn’t support these languages, right? I’m a person who spent a long time trying to write Java in Vim, but switched to IntelliJ and wouldn’t want to write C#/F# without some comparable IDE.
Never understood the privacy issues ppl have with Google. What is it so special that ppl are trying to hide from? Targeted ads? Your internet activity? Pfff.
My last job was managing product security for a company that has customers worldwide. The first and last things every single day I did was check my email on my phone, weekends and holidays. When I got out of the job my health greatly improved to the point where I had my blood pressure medication lowered. "Always-on" is a killer.
I read the "fractal" part as a hat tip to this rather famous article: https://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/
I wouldn’t say the US is absolutely superior in any way, if anything I’d place the progressive EU countries at the top of that list. There seems to be something rotting at the core of the US too. Just different. And while the US has its own atrocious human rights violations, so does China. And an Orwellian one-party government. We should not be defending totalitarian regimes of any kind.

And nice try trying to whitewash genocide and concentration camps, but I personally am steadfastly against fascism, for what it’s worth. You do you though.
Been using F# on personal projects and C# at work. I noticed my C# coding gone high quality once I got into functional thinking. It is highly recommended for anyone to check/learn F#. F# is my goto lang. now to competitive programming too. I believe F# and ML will make a great combo, but python is still leading.
Apple making the device’s Advertising ID available to browsers would solve a lot of these tracking issues.

China is just dumb labor, they steal technology from us by sending immigrants to the US.

These immigrants then steal our technology to send back to china

they also steal technology by sending students to our schools

the Chinese cannot and will not innovate.

To stop China we need to ban all Chinese immigration and start educating real americans in our schools and not Chinese spies
Obesity is hardly a factor in Norway, where one of the studies was conducted.
IQ measures intelligence, not how much the market values intelligence.

Perhaps what you're getting at is 'how much does IQ matter' which is an interesting question.

In modern society the answer is probably a lot. And when you factor in the negative correlation between intelligence and aggression / self-control, probably a lot more.
Yeah like US rules the world and US laws should apply to everyone! Then don't be surprised if the rest of the world prefer Chinese because as of today the last imperialistic power is the USA.
By the way nobody outside of the US voted for your smart president.

I'm not sure if I'd even notice if a single app performed faster at this point. Outside of games (of which the most popular ones are built on 2013-era game engines), most apps people use are extremely utilitarian and don't bog down in this era of octa-core processors and 4GB RAM.
I like Terry Crews attitude:
“TREAT THE GYM LIKE A SPA.

Yes. It has to feel good. I tell people this a lot - go to the gym, and just sit there, and read a magazine, and then go home. And do this every day.

Go to the gym, don't even work out. Just GO. Because the habit of going to the gym is more important than the work out. Because it doesn't matter what you do. You can have fun - but as long as you're having fun, you continue to do it.”

I’m practicing the same - it’s mostly about the routine, habit, without aiming lofty goals. That’s probably why most of the side projects fail - overachieving and aiming perfection.

The 'badness' in people is supposed to be tempered or mitigated by these 'good communities' though. That's their whole point.

If they can't even manage to better people as part of their church than the average person is then what good is it other than creating cliques and an 'us versus them' mentality?
The biggest thing to ask yourself, are you ready to start the business or simply build the technology better. Those are very different asks with very different commitments.

If you have passion for the solution to a problem people really need and this is the solution, then run with it.

If you want to build a better database, then step back and consider the former.

ADHD is a label, not a disease.

You can't really be diagnosed with symptom (although of course your money will be cheerfully taken to do just this).

Attention and focus and other related ADHD-type issues are bell curve.

It can feel good, for sure, to externalize our weakness and failings into one of these labels, like ADD. If that is helpful to get over the psychic weight of past failures, then that is helpful and useful.

Taking stimulants definitely helps most people with ability to work and focus, regardless of where they are on the attention-ability curve. There are also drawbacks and side-effects, at least I have observed.
What about Motorola Mobility? Their main focus is on consumer electronics (mostly smartphones) but it is also a Chinese owned company. Is the main concern with Huawei the telecom and networking equipment?
VS Code supports both languages. Check out Ionide for F# support. You can also use JetBrains Rider. Visual Studio also works on macOs btw and if nothing satisfies your taste then you can always just use a plain text editor because all you need to build, run and test your code is provided by the dotnet CLI.
AFAIK this still can be fully virtualized, but you run heavy risk of a sudden spam detection change and resulting permanent bans.

Source: done it.
I used to be a big Haskell programmer. While I still love the language, I've really come around to the idea that strictly evaluated functional languages like F# or OCaml are the best for programming in. You get the nice functional features but don't have the straightjacket of laziness forcing you into certain design decisions. It's really nice sometimes to be able to mix in impure, side effectful code without having to thread it through a monad. The OCaml family feels like a nice blend of good sound functional features with enough escape hatches to be productive in real world programs that might occasionally need arrays or mutable state or IO. Laziness by default also makes things like debugging or reasoning about performance frustratingly difficult. I do miss Haskell's typeclasses in these languages, though. My ideal language is basically Ocaml/F# but with Haskell's syntax and typeclasses.
Killing the patient would solve a lot of their diseases.
If the bootloader were unlocked and the devices well supported by lineage etc, sure. Sadly that's not the case. I'd love for Huawei to do that though. Focus on making great hardware, and make sure that aosp/postmarketOS etc work by default.
Erasure is important in allowing interop from other JVM languages. Reified generics would be nice from the perspective of just writing Java, but the interop story on the JVM is one of its best selling points.
The difference between his and mine viewpoints seem to be that Taleb thinks everything is fine with him/most procrastinators. I, on the other hand, believe my brain has buggy firmware and possibly even buggy hardware.

Since we don't have the specs of a "correct" human brain, the distinction between buggy brain and a problematic environment may be in some areas a matter of perspective, but when you have problems dealing with things that are part of our environment since before civilization, and when you see most other people dealing well with those things, you have to seriously consider the option that it's a wetware fault.
The "motto" (if it can be called that) is not "avoid success", it's "avoid 'success at all costs'" which makes the sentiment clearer: increasing adoption should never be a priority over principled design.
Same-day ACH took a while AFAIK because of fraud risk especially to smaller banks and credit unions, although we've moved into phase 3 of the work last year so that's happening now. I think the push-to-debit functionality pioneered by the likes of Square Cash helped hurry this along but I'm only speculating.

It's not particularly insider information, the reason America was slow to the chip card game was pragmatic. The US is a very low fraud rate market, and re-issuing all 1.43 billion credit cards [1] and 14M payment terminals [2] was going to cost an awful lot of money. Further, major industry players like McDonalds weren't interested in seeing line speeds go down at point of sale as they switch from mag stripe payments which happen real fast to EMV chip transactions which, at the time, were really slow. Think <1s for magstripe to 10s of seconds for EMV. NFC helps mitigate this, but again, dual-interface cards (EMV + NFC + Mastripe) are a few dollars a piece.

tl:dr; it wasn't until a few years ago that the cost of the transition outweighed the cost of the fraud that would be mitigated as a result.

Fair point. Especially when retirement funds are major investors. In that case, I suppose progressive income taxes are the only good way to have progressive taxation.

Still, the idea of ending the race to the bottom by replacing local revenue (sales/consumption) taxes by local profit (sales - local costs) taxes, appeals to me. It would make labour and other local costs cheaper, and discourage outsourcing every aspect of business to the cheapest possible country for it.
Yeah, I see too often devs shrug off their "technical debt" when what they're really describing is simply sloppy work. These economic metaphors always break down when you challenge the idea that devs/dev managers are always acting in the best interest of the product. I've seen teams cheer their "velocity" because they're closing lots of issues, when most of the things they're focused on shouldn't have even been an issue in the first place.

For the cases like legacy code and turnover, perhaps "tech depreciation" is the more appropriate economic term. You didn't really borrow against the future to have more today, rather something naturally decreases in value over time.

It's almost to the point where the deciding factors in choosing between (C#-style) OOP and (F#-style) FP are:

- Do you want your data types in one line or 20?
- Pattern matching, or large concretions of if-statements?
- Race conditions: Quality problem, or fun puzzle?

Try actually selling that to an entire market.

It hasn’t caught on. It might be that it hasn’t caught on yet, or it might be that it will never catch on.

Or customers in these markets can simply disregard Huawei entirely, and buy something from a company that isn’t blacklisted by the US Government. $5 that most people would rather do that than install their own operating system.
Not true. You actually are not to use OO in F# unless you really have to and there are certain cases where it helps
Until now. The US seems to think Huawei poses a national security threat. Huawei seems to have won on 5G, to the point where UK is considering buying Huawei 5G equipment despite tons of pressure. Therefore, stealing the IP would be a national security priority. I'd bet dollars to donuts the NSA is trying to steal Huawei's 5G IP right now, though it'll be hard since they can't easily tap within China (no fiber links in friendly waters) and CIA's humint presence got rolled up when China hacked their network.

USA has a secret judiciary system and gag order. From a European point of view, this is quite close from totalitarianism.
> How much social policy was being enacted in the name of p-hacked psychology and social science? How much of our baseline ideologies?

I'm interested in how often some interest group pays for p-hacked results so that they can use it to strengthen their position in some way?

In my opinion, it's very hard to have good science whenever there is external money in the picture. The temptation/pressure to slightly tweak the variables or scope of the study to achieve a desired outcome for the benefactor is just too high.

The worst part is that this allows people to strengthen their biases by cherry picking "scientific studies" that seem to agree with their position even if intuitively something doesn't seem right. And science is the highest authority you can appeal to, so there is no way to refute it short of funding your own, better study that arrives at the opposite conclusion.

If you don't trust Huawei as a manufacturer, then logically you wouldn't trust them on the lower-level stuff anymore than the software layer.
Yes, and Britain had full sovereignty to defend itself. If the British chose not to, it’s because they valued trade with the US over the cost of IP. The US may choose the opposite with China.
But the gains made by the lender are taxed, so in a way even taking a lone out you are still being taxed. Loans are not free.
Put options are useful if you want to bet against a stock with limited risk.
Correct, and they won't any time soon. This US is a Chip + Signature market, which still incorporates cryptographic elements on the card itself as the secret.

In a Chip + PIN transaction, the second factor is your digital PIN, whereas in the Chip + Signature transaction the second factor is your signature. It's still 2fac, but more importantly, in neither case is the secret on the front of the card.

It's not a lack of incentives to innovate. Authoritarian management styles are IMHO a hindrance to innovation. There is a balance needed of course, but I think they're quite far from that.
Plenty of people would sacrifice 10 years of their life for private jet type money. The problem is there is no guarantee that putting in the time and effort will result in that kind of money. It will probably at least equal decent money, but decent money isn't private jet money and I'd agree that decent money isn't worth a decade of my life.
What is the strongest option for functional programming then? I love Clojure as a language but it's almost impossible to find decent jobs with it in my area.
i imagine no. google services and maybe all apps can get some hw id that tells them it's huawei. maybe a custom android built that lies about this. but then google might build more checks and so on
What you want is the distance but that's not the risk you're being exposed to. As soon as you enter a plane you are being exposed to risk, like a radioactive element, regardless if the plane travels fast, slow or even in circles. Only when you get off the plane does your exposure to this risk change. The distance you traveled in the meantime had no direct effect. The fact that cars or buses take much longer to arrive means you have to factor in the additional hours of exposure to their risks, so it still makes a material difference how far you need to go, but the more direct relationship is the amount of exposure to the radioactivity.

"Men (and boys) may scoff" because this kind of criticism is totally irrelevant to the actual ideas being discussed. I know from experience that just about any person (man or woman) who has done a trading job professionally has had to put up with way worse in the time required to learn how to make money.

Don't underestimate the amount of work a true tinkerer is willing to perform to get the system running 'as it should have been'.

But looking at the pictures of part 3 I have to conclude that the electrical installation was certainly not done professionally. In fact: the mains wiring wouldn't even pass inspection by German law.

So tinkerer or not, I doubt this was the place where this multi-million machine (in Deutsche Marks, that is) would have been installed originally.
Ah ok, thank you for the details!

In that case, indeed there is some overlap (when removing an item, the randomizer only swaps 2 items in the "non-ordered" part).
Hey China has worked to exclude or minimize US tech companies from China so turn about is fair play. In fact the US would be well within their (tit for tat) rights to exclude a few more Chinese tech companies.
Fair point. I switched from C# to Java several years back, so I'm at least somewhat working from nostalgia for a certain point in time.

I look at the feature list in the latest iteration of the language, and my thought is, "Y'know, you really should stop when you're done."
They did that with Cisco routers' OS. Huawei's switches' OS even had Cisco's logo on it.

And especially so this one:

"Alienation of the worker from other workers"

Now, look at the 'gig economy'. Instead of grousing about shitty bosses, these companies pit 'employee' against each other. The gig economy companies are setting up zero sum style games: There's only X work per day, and each person claws for their slice of it against others.

How should it do that? VLC is not a music database, it's "just" a player of the media files that you feed to it.
I actually find the F# experience using VS Code + Ionide plugin in a Mac beyond what I’d ever thought was possible without something like a full blown ide.

The maintainers of Ionide also just got Microsoft $$ so that’s even better news.

But working with F# and it’s strong types while at the same being able to write something similar to Python should be a giant selling point to anyone.

If you’re on a Mac or linux just download the .net core sdk and you’re ready to go
Meanwhile, the EU is trying to somewhat cut off Google's monopoly on Android, by telling them they can't force manufacturers to use their software. Now, people in Asia are complaining that they can't access Google's stuff.

It seems like a bit off that Huawei, which, IIRC, was part of that group of companies that was complaining about Google's monopoly, doesn't have a good replacement for Google's services.
The complexity of installing Gentoo is the same as Arch, the only thing that slow downs the process for Gentoo was compiling all the packages. 2002 CPU speeds wasn't helping either.
It depends on cost of going first vs second. If it’s 5 years of R&D for the whole company it won’t be worth it.

If it’s low enough to be recouped while other players are trying to catch up, then IP or not companies will innovate.

It's a pity the tooling is comparatively immature, with F# (or at least that was my experience last time I tried to develop with it). I think Rider is getting there, though.

To go into more detail, the initial implementation in Rider was limited to not much more than syntax highlighting. Inspections were fairly limited, ASP.NET MVC integration was not as featureful.

On the C# side, it's much more developed and refined. Within Rider, it's obviously been the main focus so I suppose it's only natural it's received more polish.
To be fair, tone is in the ear of the beholder. Not to be disparaging, but I see your comment and the parent comment to be tone-deaf. I think it's just a difference of perspective.
