I'm confused, is the word "A" the name of the language which is a predecessor to C, or was it just intended as the article "a"? As in, "Here's a programming language."

We humans are too hypocritical to let that happen, we conserve other species only as long as they remain submissive. The moment we feel threatened by them (think giant squids sinking ships) we start killing them off.

They never starve to death, or even weaken. They're not impaired by not having a stomach or a circulatory system to provide energy.

The dullards who fight them never think of putting them in a hamster wheel and generating perpetual electric power.

Besides, the zombie armies never seem to have any logistics to keep them supplied with brains, or any support logistics at all. There's a reason why predators never evolved armies.

(Ok, army ants are predators. But they evolved logistics!)
What did you find patronizing about the statement?
yeah, you are right. war is great.

I question whatever perversion of statistics you must perform to call the 20th century "peaceful"

Perhaps you merely see short term and local patterns as evidence of such a "peaceful" era?
My prediction is that within 5–10 years, we'll be seeing ARM/Apple CPUs at the core of their laptops, low-end desktops, and even their top of the line Mac Pro. Powerful x86 CPUs will be still be available in the Mac Pro and implemented as an "accelerator" card.
"Survey participants were asked questions including whether they thought it was safe to take their hands off the steering wheel"

I think this is misleading, Autopilot never told it's safe enough to let hands off the steering wheel. To this extend of course there is no difference than other solutions.
>This is not a language issue, but programmers who have made a mistake.

That's always the excuse with C, I know.

>The same thing would happen in most languages if a programmer declared their FFI incorrectly.

If the Ada Interfaces.Fortran didn't work, that would be a compiler issue, but that's only because Ada does things right.

The incentives are quite soft. You get a “good job” email from your boss and maybe your boss’s boss. But nothing else. (8 years at Amazon, and 5 granted parents — I’m embarrassed to admit!)

They were going to be useful for my immigration visa renewal though. My L1 renewal got stuck with a request for evidence, and the lawyers thought that patents are excellent evidence of outstanding ability to the eyes of the gov. Eventually I got my green card before my L1 evidence got processed, so I didn’t get to see if that would have helped.

I think the word Large is pretty ambiguous. In my opinion, it is more about incoherent, inconsistent, complected, and with no clear way to learn more about things you do not understand. A language which has everything I would need already available and ready to use, in a simple and straightforward way is pretty great otherwise.
RFID?
Mac Safari doesn't have that kind of protection. Indeed, Firefox has higher global desktop browsing share than Safari.

We found ways to add privacy without breaking the web by taking gradual steps and finding clever technical solutions.

I appreciate Firefox getting on the privacy-by-default train, but it's just wrong to say that iOS gave us the ability to do something that others couldn't. Our only superpower was being willing to ignore those who said tracking protection would destroy the web economy and/or tank revenue (plus aforementioned crafty trickery).

No, 16-year-olds should not be contributing to retirement accounts. The return on investment in such an account will be far less than the return from investing that money in increasing their own human capital. This could be by buying good books to read, buying a computer to learn to program on, or paying for movie tickets to go out on a date with someone who may be their future spouse.

I believe parent's point might be a bit more "tech / media on the US west coast is a liberal monoculture." Which seems objectively supported.

I'm not sure the road was already there when I was born, no recollection it was ever re-paved until they started to dig for utilities twenty-something years later, with all the trucks that carried stuff to build the beach neighbourhoods.

The difference between the old stuff and the new crap they use to pave it is unbelievable. Two years without repaving and it's full of holes.

I think what you're missing is that Tesla's Autopilot is not done. It's clearly labeled "Beta" when you enable it in the car.

The goal of Tesla's Autopilot is to take you from your garage to your parking space with zero input. Therefore it's exactly the same as a plane's which takes you from runway to runway.

Just because it's a work-in-progress doesn't mean it's named wrong.
Banks and governments are going to realize that Libra helps to defend the them from real cryptocurrencies. Its completely tied to fiat, has no real privacy or ultimate control over the wallet, no value on its own or anti-inflation etc.

It is really much more like WeChat payments or Alipay or whatever than anything else. The cryptocurrency part is largely a smokescreen and marketing.

The goal is for Visa, PayPal, and Mastercard (who are sponsoring it) to keep being able to profit from digital payments, and to fight against things like Bitcoin and Ethereum which are making major pushes to scale. They want to get in ahead of real cryptocurrency.

Anyone in banking or government who is concerned about cryptocurrency impacting their control will eventually figure out that Libra is the best thing they could hope for.

I am worried that they will eventually figure that out, and then get quite excited for Libra, then Libra will launch and really restrict uptake of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Once governments get familiar with their convenient Facebook Libra Financial Spy Portal they might even try to outlaw real cryptocurrencies.
> Fresh air is created by plants and CO2 is taken from the air by plants

Plants can be net CO2 consumers, but they burn O2 to CO2 just like you. Tropical forests are net CO2 producers for most of the day, except for a few hours around noon, but that's enough to become net consumers averaged over the day. Occasionally someone fills their room with plants, and then puzzles over having high CO2 levels.

I don’t want to hijack the thread by any means, but after reading, I’m super curious. Can a blind developer make use of a modal editor like ViM? Would it be counterproductive?

I’m pretty into the idea of accessibility but haven’t tried a screen reader myself. I definitely should but I bet the current app I’m working on would suck as it’s a sea of divs (I’m trying to change that by using headers, footers, and section elements).

Really powerful stuff reading what some of the developers in this thread do. I’ve always understood that the screen readers zoom by, it’s all very interesting to someone who takes for granted what they have.

The author's point is about fear corroding democracy by limiting public action and information.

"I am not going to let you sell your widget through Tamazon" is unfortunate and potentially crippling for the supplier, but as you've pointed out that's business.

"I am not going to let you sell your widget through Tamazon... in the event you make disparaging remarks about Tamazon in any public forum or divulge any information about our agreements" is very different.

In the later case, the last mile is threatening to retaliate in the event the supplier does anything they don't like.

Which, as a supplier, you rightly wonder "What can I do to avoid getting on Tamazon's naughty list?" To which Tamazon replies with a wink and a smile, "Just be careful what you say and to who, and I'm sure it won't come to that."

I love how it's published by Wiley and Sons. It reminds me of that episode of Different Strokes where someone asks the old rich patriarch how he got his wealth, and he says [paraphrased], "You know all that oil they got in the Middle East? Well someone has to sell them the barrels!"
One counterintuitive trick that has worked for me is to fire up my "manager brain" in daily life. When you do most white collar work, especially as a manager, your job consists largely of filtering a huge number of potential inputs/jobs and focusing intently on the highest value/leverage ones. Instead of fighting my increasing tendency to scan for a new dopamine hit, I allow my brain to wander for a moment and then to consider the highest value option, which frequently turns out to be continuing doing what I'm doing so that I gain the advantages and compound interest of depth in an activity and do not incur the cost of context switching. I will say that this takes a little enjoyment away from going truly deep and achieving flow, for example, where you lose your sense of time and become engrossed in the narrative/activity/whatever, but it's a bit of a jiu jitsu move and allows you to fight the world around you less and use it to your advantage a little more. I still think tuning out and removing distractions is valuable, but it's a good complementary practice.

Pregnancy isn't the only issue. Historically, when more reliable birth control becomes available, promiscuity goes up. This typically seems to be followed by a spike in STDs.

The overall best solution is social conservativism: Lengthy courtships, monogamy and all that boring stuff that no one likes because it's perceived as a barrier to getting one's freak on.

Also, sweeping mandates of this sort generally don't go over well and inevitably wind up having unexpected pitfalls.

There are also a lot of institutions interested in making 22-year-olds feel brilliant in exchange for their creative output.

It took me a bit to understand what you were trying to do. Here's a paste of my Python 3 shell session, showing that Python 3 does indeed return the number of characters.

~$ python3
Python 3.7.3 (default, Mar 27 2019, 09:23:15)
[Clang 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> len("ẅ")
1

Python 3 uses UTF 32 internally, so the byte representation you placed below your post is not how Python 3 represents it. Instead, it looks like this:

>>> "ẅ".encode('utf32')
b'\xff\xfe\x00\x00\x85\x1e\x00\x00'

This has disadvantages (memory usage) but for most cases where Python is used, it's an advantage (faster random access, more intuitive for situations like the one you've proposed).
There is some additional risk with modern homes being much better sealed than old homes which always had some air moving through it. If you don't have a proper HVAC system and use like electric heaters instead of forced air, humidity levels can build up and slowly absorb into materials if you don't have enough airflow, and you likely won't notice, unless maybe the dew point gets high enough that all of a sudden every surface in your house is damp. It is less of a concern in places without high humidity but some swampy areas can be 90% humidity for weeks or months at a time and then all of a sudden you got mold behind your walls because some idiot decided to seal up every seam with plastic or glue or whatever other impermeable material.

Part of this is a misunderstanding of building techniques that block airflow, ive seen numerous houses with all the roof vents plugged up to "save heat", walls with plastic sheeting on the inside wall creating air/moisture traps, or people replacing air-permeable house wrap with solid sheet plastic, foam and glue on every board and seam with a sealed up and moist crawl space underneath, ect. It is fairly easy to get mold in a humid place with a sealed home and no forced air, and nearly impossible to kill it all without tearing out all the drywall in the house. If everything was done right, shouldn't be a problem, but people are far more likely to pay for size and speed over quality materials or careful quality labor.
