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.

Gunpowder was just an accident, some guy mixed charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur.

the Chinese are not and have never been a innovative people, they had a large population so they got lucky and discovered a bunch of simple inventions first.

The Chinese despite outnumbering whites historically 10 to 1 have never produced a genius equivalent to Tesla, Einstein, Newton, Gauss, Feynman, Von Neumann etc...

The problem is that corporations have value, assets, and money. And more importantly they can leverage it.

If we moved to a 0% Corporate tax and relied entirely on income tax then we'd start to see all manner of schemes for Executives to avoid taxes. They'd do things like taking little salary but instead being issued Corporate spending accounts with limits comparable to what they'd otherwise earn in salary.

Perhaps in United States. Our European prisons are much more comfortable.

Additionally, in the USSR we perhaps had less rape and violence in peacetime (our prison guards were professional and order was enforced), but oh boy, we knew a thing or two about neglect.

Nothing immoral... but can you really do better? Is it a good business to be in? Most stuff degenerates to duct tape for a reason: complexity, lack of resources (money, time, people...), higher priorities, etc. And most customers don't care, as long as it works. So if you build a better mouse trap, will anyone care?

There's no opportunity IMO. Nobody wants to move to high COL place temporary for contract work. That is literal worst-case scenario unless you plan on paying for a year's worth of salary for those few months to justify the added expenses for the consultant.

Don't be cheap. Hire a consulting firm that specializes in your area if you need on-site help. Or, if you want to be cheap, learn how to support remote work.

I'm not sure what this article is trying to say. Microsoft C# is a Microsoft project. Go is a Google project.

There is someone who need to govern the project. This is a company in these cases.

The only other option I see is some board like (in case of .NET) the .NET foundation to allow more control.

In what way is more scepticism towards science solving the lack of publication of negative results?
I also doubt IQ measures intelligence, more like intellect and memory.
I'm with Boeing in this fix. The problem is not with the "the large amount of electrical systems, lack of bleed air". This is how things evolved.

The main issue IIRC was manufacturing defects in some batteries that caused internal short circuits.

> The fix was to put them in a stronger container with a hole in it so they can vent outside

And this is an acceptable fix (beyond better QA/manufacturing practices of the battery). If the batteries fail the fault should be contained.

The article you linked explains the changes Boeing implemented.

Yes, batteries failed. The battery failure was contained correctly. Besides improving the reliability of the battery (which was addressed with some changes) that's what Boeing should have done (and did).

They're not going back to NiCa or Lead batteries

Why would that sound racist? Honest question, as an immigrant I don't pick up 100% of all the things Americans perceive as racist.
No shit Google has the final say, they're the maintainers. They pay developers millions of dollars to make the final call on what's best for the language. Even if someone were to start a community fork there would still have to be a central board of governance.

A fictionalized biography to be sure, but I highly recommend Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa: https://www.amazon.com/Musashi-Epic-Novel-Samurai-Era/dp/156... about the famous samurai. It reads like a fantasy novel.

Also Taiko by the same author is a fictionalized version of the 3 kingdoms period, told from an interesting perspective.
HTTPS Everywhere is dumb security theater that desensitizes users to potential issues when it should otherwise matter.

When only important shit you really wanted to encrypt was encrypted and you get a cert warning you took notice. Now one in 10 sites with an "easy/free ssl cert" that expired has normalized cert warnings on pages with cat pictures and bank sites alike.
If you are going to count freeing slaves as violent then you have an odd definition of violence.
> While 63,841 men and women were called in for the examination of persons liable for military service in 2012 (mandatory for men), 9265 were conscripted

While I think the comparability of IQ test to the past or other countries is very rudimentary, this sounds like this could be a huge factor at least.
This post is 6 years old, does somebody know if this is still the case?
idk about Norway, but in my country most army conscripts are immigrants from the third world. So if that's what they use to measure IQ, it's normal that it's dropping.

Yeah I do build $1500-2500ish gaming PCs every few years. I game a lot less than I did a decade ago, maybe a few times a month, so I wanted OSX around when I wasn't. But I'm done building hackintoshes. I had a really nice one the last 3 years waiting on the Mini to ever (because we gave up) update and it did. I was really excited to use that with OSX as my daily and flip to Windows + egpu when I gamed. I'm glad I looked into it to verify it ran egpus horribly (if at all). I didn't expect there to be any issues with that. Figured it'd be perfect.

So now instead I've got a "gaming" desktop that sits pretty idle and a MBP again.. like usual.
> Go is developed by Bell Labs people, the same people who bought us C, Unix and Plan 9 (Ken, Pike, RSC, et al).

Exactly and it comes in line with other research languages, namely Newsqueak and Limbo, both relying on channels for concurrency. I hope their other work will also find their way into every day usage though.
What I do not like is the idea that medical research is directed into what makes more money, I would be ok if this happens with beauty products but not with critical medicine.

Say you find a cure for X, how will you price it as a company? You put some variables into an equation and attempt to get the maximum profit not the maximum health for the society. This could mean letting poor people to die or suffer without a cure.
You can use Rider which is a very good crossplatform JetBrains IDE. I found it very fast too (I use it on Fedora in my laptop)
I think the recent executive order was explicitly for Huawei, which is troubling because the executive branch is targeting not a country, but a specific country. It's likely Apple or Samsung's US dept might have specifically lobbied for this (although we won't know; it's speculative and potentially unethical).

I have a feeling Microsoft, Google, Intel and others will take this to court though. They literally stand to lose hundreds of millions, each!
I assume the business service being offered has value to clients? I gave up hope long ago of ever finding a company where they were both profitable and the engineering decisions made over time were correct and the code wasn't a mess and...

I eventually concluded that it's better to be like Facebook or Slack: and idea that works despite having been built on PHP and MySQL and then hire the experts needed to mitigate the issues that come with having built on PHP and MySQL than to spend an inordinate amount of time building a technically perfect product that lacks business value.

From my European perspective both those parties are firmly capitalist and right-wing. I will never expect anything other that what you described from members of them. Certainly not to do some sort of socialist transformation. The current US mainstream "socialists" are after all at best bog standard EU social democrats - that is, still capitalist.

I don't believe that currently ostracized strains/ideas/people will somehow inherently come to power just because democratic socialist ideas become mainstream. Democratic minded socialist are just as inoculated against authoritarianism as liberals. These people were persecuted and killed by ML/Stalinist authoritarians too.

This reminds me of a time I pulled a near all nighter for a final. I came into the final on too little sleep and even though I knew the material, I couldn't think during the test. I took a 20 minute nap during the two hour final, woke up and aced the final.

Yep, it would have kicked them out of Google's tightly controlled and terribly named "Open Handset Alliance."

Samsung couldn't even include a secondary location provider if they wanted to stay in the OHA!
It could be possible that it's mostly developer pay, we all know big old companies don't pay software developers much and now most talented ones are either working for companies who pay a lot like Google and FB or startups which offer lot of equity and recognition.
I've heard that many (most?) recent Huawei phones bootloaders are not unlockable by design, so it's kind of hard to flash LOS on them.

Adding an S/MIME signature could add even more plausibility.
one thing just exacerbates the other. why do you think they should have had an alternative ready if they did fall (like us all) for google's empty promises of an open system?

case in point f-droid: open source playStore alternative. go see how many confirmations and special settings you have to figure out to be able to use.

another: mozilla location services and UnifiedNlp. two full replacement for google location via wifi. google completely broke the hability to use it deliberately and for no good technical reason (it is trivial if you have root. literally just change one setting that was only added to block the existing feature of setting a new location backend provider)

I can guarantee after owning 30+ laptops in my life you won't find one that I consider the perfect match so I'm just to the point where I know what I want and can deal with flaws in other places as long as that one desire is answered. Unfortunately what I want is OSX..

But trust me I've got Amazon open and am ready to swipe right on something new and better whenever it comes along.
That's abstracting in time more than in implementation; and it's primarily useful with stateful objects that are best reasoned about as a single, synchronous timeline (which most objects are). You'll see this pattern used in, say, Actor systems, as a queue-backed inbox.
I just bought Scott's book on Railway Oriented Domain Driven Design. So far so good. I am the domain expert though, so no revelation there.

> This is the software equivalent of "Not My Problem." ... This is how you deal with unanswered messages. You think about your response instead of just letting your software crash.

A terrific 2014 paper, Simple Testing Can Prevent Most Critical Failures: An Analysis of Production Failures in Distributed Data-Intensive Systems [1] found that most catastrophic crashes in distributed systems are a result of catching exceptions and not paying thought to how to handle them.

And I'm saying I think you're overgeneralizing. I don't think there is general 3D capability to be developed. E.g., I doubt a sculptor (who takes years to learn to do it well) swap chairs with a helicopter pilot (ditto) and have them both do reasonably well.

I of course agree people can learn to develop all sorts of specific skills. But I don't think specific skills that operate in 3 dimensions are an argument for VR being particularly useful for a general audience.

This is absolutely the biggest wart in modern Java. We now wrap all methods that can throw checked exceptions to rethrow unchecked. This works well for web services that can just retry or rollback and report an error to the client on transient exceptions, but is insufficient for many applications.

My observation has been that the free testing they get is often for cases they never hit in their production use cases.

For example, FB doesn’t use DraftJS on mobile, so it took a whole year long effort and a person who used to work for FB to fix mobile support. They just didn’t need it, didn’t have resources allocated to dealing wit it, and were understandably unresponsive on the subject. Now maybe they can use it in the future on mobile if they want, but they would have just fixed it if that need had ever arisen for them organically.
Interesting. A couple months ago I did have some weird thing where some song I never heard of kept playing and starting again when I chose my own song. My account is a free one, and limited to one concurrent player, so I see no need to “share”

I think it might just be that you don't like magazine article format. That's a perfectly reasonable position to take—but it doesn't mean their model is flawed. They've been operating the same way since long before personal computers. Their editorial practices have kept them relevant.
Right, so this is basically the Go approach: explicit error checking on everything. No exceptions, because exceptions are a weird sort of non-local control flow, and can escape and take down your program as a whole.

The "if you don't know the answer, find an approximation from another route" is .. situational. In this case it's exactly what the customer wants. In other cases (finance, security, aerospace) it could be a disaster waiting to happen.

I worked on a point-of-sale system where it was a matter of design philosophy that any inconsistency should be an immediate crash-and-reboot; since it also operated as a save-everywhere and audit-everywhere system, if you did manage to crash it then within 30 seconds you'd be back at the screen just before the last button press with no data loss other than the button press that caused the crash. I believe this crash-and-recover approach is very Erlang: https://ninenines.eu/articles/dont-let-it-crash/

Thinking of exceptions and message validation also makes me think of "in band" versus "out of band" signalling and errors. Exceptions are "out of band" - outside the normal function return process. Internet communication is all "in band" and the whole approach of separate control and data planes has almost entirely gone away, apart from SIP and (nearly dead) FTP.
The title subtly but still obviously implies that finances and investing are men's business, and not women's. I don't see how anyone can deny that.

I bet that many women reading this title that work in finance don't appreciate the title one bit.

The argument that it's just a joke is not acceptable, because this together with other 1000 similar remarks, or "jokes" or micro-agressions will make women choosing that field as inadequate over time.

This is actually a scientific fact, that people that are told several times that they are not able to do a task or don't belong performing the task will underperform doing that same task, when compared to people that are not subjected to that treatment.

The problem is that the play store is a monopoly. If neither Amazon nor Samsung can create an app store with even a small fraction of the total useful apps found on the play store, who can? And if you can't find one particular app on the Amazon/Samsung store, why bother at all?
you didn't RC. Huawei is still praising Google and Android even after the ban.

re EU and Asia's different stance on this, that's exactly what monopoly is. EU is getting ahead of the game and IMO making the right move. Rest of the world needs to join, close the legal loopholes of monopoly and do something to protect user privacy.
As long as you keep them on their own air gapped network, they should be okay. Arecont are just too expensive.
There are many who create non-play builds of their apps, notably for the Amazon Fire app store. There's also the open source microG project, that can probably be leveraged.
