Alas, your argument is tragic because with just a simple switch of a phrase, it becomes even more truthful:

>It's actually a tragedy, because the lessons to be learned from the failure of western imperialism come at the cost of countless lives, the least we could do is come away with something of utility.

We in the West all too often ignore the victims of Americas heinous illegal wars - over 500,000 innocent people have lost their lives because America believes it has a right to interfere in sovereign states across the globe.

Whether you are left- or right- oriented, you will be doing yourself and your culture a favour by stopping the very poor habit of ignoring the real victims of America's wars, who have too long been swept under the covers, because its either too embarrassing or the inherent evils too obvious upon inspection.

Americans of all political persuasions really need to stop America's war machine. It is, undeniably, the most negative influence in the world today.
It gets worse if you level up because you realize that people are just numbers that need to be led and managed... It's also kind of amazing.

I recommend reading "Extreme Ownership" to get a sense of the importance of leadership because there are no bad teams, just bad leaders. We are the apex predators on the planet, and the key to our success is understanding the social element of it and how to take a group of people and have them achieve something amazing beyond themselves individually.
Ireland to ban new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2030
Well, netflix hosts content partially created by itself and partially by others. Facebook hosts content made entirely by others (I think).

So it's... kind of similar to at least that one?

But I do wonder why netflix and not microsoft. MSFT seems to be closer to the FAAG part.

EDIT: A quick search on DDG revealed it's because of the value of their stock.
I live in London, where escalator lane discipline is very good - mostly because if you fail to stand on the right you will get jostled by 80kg of fast moving commuter.

What's interesting is that neither mention that a windows update triggered reboot - at least when i was on insider builds - somehow auto-unlocks bitlocker (or it may be using a kernel level restart like kexec, which apparently is a thing that exists in windows server at least)
I've spent a couple of years wandering around SE Asia, and that involves seeing a lot of real poverty close up.

The striking thing about what I noticed is is: Only the lonely people are unhappy. Give the average Cambodian a bucket of chicken feet and a carton of beer and they'll immediately share it with their friends/family and be unbelievably happy.

They have really strong community and family ties, and while that does have downsides (especially for women, whose behaviour is under control almost all the time), it also gives incredible support and comfort.

The contrast between Camobodia and Australia is noticeable: Cambodians are mostly poor and happy, and Australians are mostly rich and angry.

I’ve received refreshes larger than my initial grant, so there is at least one company that does it.
"We don't want to tell people who are talking with joy about having kids or exotic vacations or luxury cars that they should hold back"

But those people, according to you have been worrying about climate change for over 30 years, so they should have made the decision not to fly to their holidays, to buy an electric luxury car.

If everyone is aware of this and spends time worrying about it then you shouldn't have to pressure other people, they would already be doing it.

The fact is, a large number of people don't believe / don't care (enough). That's why you need peer pressure.
With RSU (restricted stock units) the price is not given; the number of shares is. Basically, you are granted a number of shares to vest on a particular date (the vest date is the date the shares are yours).

For public companies, the vest date is also the release date, which is when the shares are recognized as income. You have to pay taxes when they are released, which is basically 25% federal tax plus whatever your state's tax rate is for this (10% in CA). To pay the taxes you can either deposit cash to cover the amount and keep the shares, or sell some fraction of the shares on the release date.

If you keep the shares, then any gain after the release date is taxed as capital gains. Basically, from a tax perspective it's equivalent to the company paying you cash on the release date equal to the stock price of your shares and you buying shares with it.

> So again, our individuality is lessened. But worse, you are average. Mediocre. When there's 100 biologists in the world, you can always find some way to be slightly different. With 3,000,000 biologists in the world, how could you expect to shine?

When there's 100 biologists in the world, you probably aren't one of them. You would just be some mediocre uneducated nobody. How do you expect to shine?

Of course, be it 100 or 3,000,000, at least you'd have the opportunity to shine if your world were the small town you were born in, not the whole planet (or continent).

There's a problem but it is not education that lessens our individuality.

I am simply suggesting that religiously hiding implementation of simple data structures behind formal interfaces may be excessive.

You seem to be assuming a certain style of programming or type of programming language here, along the lines of mainstream OOP languages. There are other options, from low level languages like C to languages where algebraic data types and pattern matching are bread and butter, that do not attempt to conceal true representations of simple data structures in that way. The sky does not fall! :-)

Sometimes it is useful to be able to drop down to that level if the provided set of standard functions to work with that data structure does not meet your needs. You might want to support some new access pattern that is not offered in a convenient form by the tools available in the provided interface, for example.

Sometimes you might want to know, say, which order the axes go in for some multi-dimensional data structure, because writing your algorithms to match can have a profound effect on real world performance. And in this sort of situation, the advantages of being explicit about that can far outweigh the theoretical benefits of being able to replace the internal representation transparently, which is something you are extremely unlikely to be doing in an established system where this kind of issue arises anyway.

In the developed world, yeah, the U.S. is behind a lot of regions like Taiwan, Canada, Scandinavia, Western Europe, Australia & NZ in terms of the social safety net.

Among the world's population at large, no way. Even homeless Americans are way better off than the average person in Asia, Africa, or South America. In China people regularly work 9-9-6 (9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days a week); if you lose your job, you have zero social safety net other than your savings and your family; your property can be confiscated if you piss off the wrong party official; and there's a callous disregard for life so that if you get run over by a taxi it's your own problem. In parts of Central America the nominal government has no control, and you can be caught in a random crossfire. My wife served in the Peace Corps in Peru; she stayed with the richest woman in the village, who owned a house with 3.5 walls and a regular stream of reptilian visitors. That woman's occupation? Brewing moonshine in 55 gallon oil drums, to serve as the village's primary beverage and social lubricant.
There is a school of thought that says rather than look at the requirements and make your best guess at the amount of work needed to implement them, you will get more accurate results by making your best guess at the number of lines of code required, then using a formula to estimate the amount of work needed to write that many lines of code. I personally am not convinced this is really more accurate, but it does have serious adherents.

>Blackett's team made the logical recommendation that the armour be placed in the areas which were completely untouched by damage in the bombers which returned. They reasoned that the survey was biased, since it only included aircraft that returned to Britain. The areas untouched in returning aircraft were probably vital areas, which, if hit, would result in the loss of the aircraft.

I agree with you here, I think that Kotlin is settled for life in what concerns Android, given the sore state of Android J++ and #KotlinFirst announced at IO.

So a couple of the comments here have been mentioning the high pay of people with specialties like this in the context of LM and other defense contractors. My impression from Glassdoor and general conversation with software developers has been the DCs pay pretty low for software in general compared to FAANG or even other engineering companies. Is it true that people with obscure specialties at places like LM can command high salaries? Or have I been misled that LM pay is on the lower side? Or is it all relative?

My son and daughter are growing up and after setting them up with Linux machines and kids coding activities (Scratch, Coding Minecraft w Java, Shoes.rb and more) a few years back I think it’s time to teach them to code proper.

I have experience in ruby and react and currently work as a Digital Media Designer.

A. As a curriculum To run a small code club with them and a friend or two with homework in between

B. Self directed online resources they can use to level up themselves?

Having co-authored a book about Wikipedia's early history, I can tell you more about Wiki administrators and "insiders" then you could possibly absorb. (A book that will apparently never see the light of day, because publishers are terrified of being sued by Jimmy Wales for "libel". We prepared 2 million words of notes to justify everything, plus thousands of weblinks showing what really happened; to no avail.)

Antandrus, the middle-aged California music teacher who wrote this prime example of Wikipedia insider lies, is a complete nobody. On Wikipedia or anywhere else. But they like him and he sticks around, because he pushes the status quo and the party line like a good little Soviet apparatchik. We only know his first name, because he went to deeply insane amounts of effort to hide his real identity.
>> Initially, all fully self-driving vehicles will be Level 4—that is, they have to be in geographically constrained areas, and will only operate in good weather, as does Waymo’s fleet of self-driving vans that it is testing in Phoenix. Truly autonomous, aka Level 5, cars are still science fiction.

Nobody has actually created a level 4 system yet, not even a prototype, let alone one ready for production. So level 4, too, is still science fiction. The same goes for level 3, actually. It's science fiction. And so are claims like the following:

>> Researchers at Cleveland State University estimate that only 10 to 30 percent of all vehicles will be fully self driving by 2030.

2030 is in ten years from now. In ten years from now, we'll reach "full self-driving"? Waymo was founded ten years ago and its cars are still in level 2 (allegedly, trying to "jump over" level 3 and go straight to level 4). How are we going to be suddendly, magickally transported from level 2 to level 5 in the next ten years, when we haven't budged from level 2 in the last ten?

It's a risk if anyone has physical access, you have sensitive stuff stored in DPAPI, and FDE isn't enabled. The risk isn't related to having other admin users on the system or anything to do with updates.

I have programmed in both Rascal and Racket (for university courses). I really prefer Racket.

Though most of that might be because Rascal isn't really polished for mainstream usage. Rascal doesn't have a lot of good error messages at the moment (the most common error message you might see, is CallFailed, with just the bare minimum of information where it occured).

Another issue is how to run Rascal. Currently, you can only install it as an Eclipse plugin, and that seems to be the only way to run it.

Edit: I see that last statement is false. There is a commandline REPL. But I do not know if it works well.
Also escalators tend to be pretty bad at being stairs if you're not fit and healthy (and even then…), they usually have much higher steps and sharper edges than normal stairs, and are thus significantly less accessible when they're not operating.
My perspective is from a heavy Java background.

By using the standardised interfaces for everything you can change the implementation without changing how you work on it.

For example, my service that stores a collection in a database. I could write my service so that it takes in a Collection, rather than an ArrayList, because then anyone using it can pass in a Set (no duplicates), CopyOnWriteArrayList, TreeSet (ordered set).

By hiding internals and using the interface, I can pick the abstraction I need and give more freedom to those using my classes.

Another example. Once Project Valhalla and Value types come in, LinkedList might be changed to use value types for Nodes. Lets say I've tightly coupled my code to the implementation of LinkedList. This could potentially break my code.
