Part of it is hardware support- your machine's state isn't just in main ram and CPU registers, it's also in the state of every embedded microcontroller and onboard memory of every device on the machine.

It's to limit the complexity of suspend/resume that a lot of OSes will do things like reinitialize all drivers (e.g. unload/load kernel modules) to try to get the whole system into a known state, but this takes time.

Relatedly, hardware can be added (or enabled) between boots, so whatever conditional hardware initialization was done when booting may result in a state that's not quite accurate later. Furthermore, some of the state (e.g. anything involving system time) will always need to be modified after restore, and that's a state transiston that's less well tested (moving your clock forward hours or days may make a lot of software flake out).
The author is obviously deeply aware of all this. It is exactly what he is complaining about.

Why should he have to hire you to do something he could do himself, given better tooling?

It is the same problem as business people had, needing to explain their problem to a system analyst and get programmers to code it. Then spreadsheets came along, and 99% of business programming just totally disappeared into it.

Maybe you can do it better than he could. Doesn't matter, there's only one of you, and what he could do would be good enough. Just like spreadsheets.
Why I think Haskell is the best general purpose language as of June 22 2019
No, I think most of the folks spewing this stuff are mostly just functionally incompetent, a position which you might agree with yourself if you'd actually read any of their research and understood the "data" which they try to use to justify it. (Don't get me started!)

But some of them are also clearly dishonest, too, IMO. Michael Mann, for example, who is generally considered an esteemed climate scientist, got caught some years back attempting to commit perjury by claiming in court documents that he was a Nobel Peace Prize winner, which he clearly was not. (The situation with him - and a few others who made similar claims - got so bad that the Nobel folks eventually had to step in and put a stop to it.) And those who looked closely at the tree-ring data which he used to help build his famous "hockey stick" temperature chart found a lot of problems with that data and how he used it, but I don't remember all of the details. I do remember it being stated that tree ring growth responds primarily to changes in precipitation, though, rather than temperature.

I recently read a paper where two of the authors (out of several) are considered to be among the most esteemed climate scientists in the world. And I just shook my head at how bad that paper was, the ridiculous claims that it made, and at how seriously it was being taken, at least at first. One of those esteemed authors has of late taken to making such outrageous claims that even his own acolytes don't really want to talk about it much, so I was a bit surprised to even see his name on that paper to begin with.

Of course, in the press the paper was being hailed as breakthrough research at the time. But I noticed that it kind of fell off the radar pretty quickly, so I guess a lot of other folks had quietly come to the same conclusion as to how bad it was. I have to see any public acknowledgement of that, though.

BTW, I read somewhere that there are something like 200x as many climate papers being published today as there were a generation or so ago. So if there is a research bandwagon that someone might want to jump on in order to get funding and get their papers published, that's probably a good one to go for. But it turns out that an awful lot of so-called "climate experts" publishing such papers actually have little to no formal training in matters of climate, which I find very telling. Some of them have little to no STEM training at all, in fact.

The definition of cryptocurrency includes the language "operating independently of a central bank". These ~100 stakeholders sound somewhat analogous to federal reserve branches. It's a pseudo central bank. The U.S. should be raising huge red flags about Libra. If financial transactions in US dollars decline, and Libra increases, it reduces the United States' ability to conduct effective monetary policy. But, if Libra can't exist in a stable manner, as all other cryptocurrencies have failed to do, perhaps the problem will resolve itself, and the dominate nature of the U.S. Dollar will continue.

If you live in the United States, you don't want Libra to succeed. You don't want your paycheck in Libra, you don't want mortgage payments in Libra. You want a central bank that has some capacity of providing stability to our economy.
Lol.

Apple service isn’t as nice as it once was as they have scaled, but 8/10 times you can talk face to face to an accountable individual to resolve issues with service.

How would you like it to be decided? I'm not going to say I love the slow ICANN process, but it was designed to allow all stakeholders to have their say while trying to prevent endless deadlock. This application has been in the works for 7 years. There have been many appeals of various kinds. The process is, as far as I can tell, extremely transparent.

At the core of the debate is whether Amazon is a brand or a location. It's clearly both. Then the question is how to structure the shared governance of the TLD.

According to the Amazon.com proposal email [1], ACTO is objecting to the current proposal. Several ACTO member states have submitted proposals individually, but there is no joint proposal (according to the email from Amazon.com). I couldn't find any ACTO joint proposal - they only seem to agree on blocking or delaying Amazon.com's proposal [2][3][4]. ICANN has a responsibility to make a decision at some point.

Call me crazy, but I have very low confidence in ACTO's ability to run the TLD given that seven years into this process, we don't have a joint ACTO proposal

>No, African Americans have a unique culture in America, and whites are notoriously judgmental about it. The only reason you might find this "different" is if you don't consider Black culture to be legitimate. We call this "racism".

...but he's not American?

It's quite a stretch to arrive at an honest question about the use of a word - by someone outside of your own country's culture - to it being equated to racism, merely because it's from a egocentric (American society) point of view.

The world is a lot bigger than just America.

Maybe tone down the racist accusations until you have some qualitative context to use it. Otherwise, if antagonising people that might otherwise be sympathetic to your plights is your end goal, then by all means, carry on.
As the subject of tfa says, "We all hear things that make us look twice."

Unfamiliarity != delegitimization

Your use of the term racism certainly isn’t lending a hand towards others gaining positive familiarity.

Western sites implementing amp (in terms of the general "web" amp) will likely influence local eastern websites to also implement it, along with the notion that "amp gets you to the front page of google results". As an eastern website, the cost to implement it is probably extremely low with plugins and companies [Cloudflare] that do it for you, so it makes sense to click a button and reap the rewards of letting Google's plans play out.

It could just be me, but I always found US cyber hacks to be much more menacing. Iranian, North-Korean, Chinese and Russian hacks give off the aesthetic of pseudo-gangsters or general bullies.

Russia: "we hacked their social network and created provocative memes"

China: "we used our military cyber intelligence team to steel Google's source code"

North-Korea: "we hacked Sony because they created a film that made fun of us"

While the US hacks always get under your skin.

US: "We delivered a worm that slowly shut down your nuclear reactor over the span of several days and you didn't even notice"

US: "we literally hacked into your missile system"
> Less JavaScript bloat, I think. AMP is mostly static content.

That's actually completely untrue. Every AMP component is a web component and requires JavaScript in order to run at all. And many have their own .js file powering it. You literally can't use an <img> tag on an AMP page. You have to use <amp-img>, which has a JS dependency.

OP is right, the primary reason AMP is fast is because Google is preloading the page in the background. AMP pages themselves aren't all that static, or really all that bandwidth efficient.

Basic Income’s Backers Complicate Their Cause
A record system doesn't allow to create fields from arbitrary getter-setter pairs. Lenses are an implementation of property system, not a record system. That the heavyweight solution is also used for regular records because Haskell's record syntax is broken is another matter. I still frequently wish I could use lenses in other languages, but they're hard to implement without HKT (I wouldn't be surprised if someone implemented them for Scala though).

EDIT: And to clarify, by in-place updating I meant in-place semantically, not syntatically (the old solution of keeping a record of two functions can do the syntax part too). But I think I probably misremembered how van Laarhoven lenses work and they might not be ultimately different from getter-setter chaining, sorry.

The jump in 2016 was because I got an offer from Oracle and Amazon matched it. I actually lost a bit from stock depreciation that year because most of my RSUs bested a week after Trump’s election.

"Incorrect on both counts. And I use it to describe the philosophical base that essentially, there is no absolute truth and nothing can be taken for reality. Which, ironically, post-modernists use their only absolute truth."

Ok so remind me what that has to do with population control or believing that things would be better off without humanity. Also feel free to refer me to major post modern philosophers who advocate for such a thing, because I've never read them. Most post-modernism is very life affirming in a very backwards way. The people I hear advocating for this sort of ideology is actually many in the mainstream "left" (read Democratic) in the US.

I didn't say you were a neoliberal, just that such a policy is. In the sense of "for the greater good" and it's insistence on dehumanization and erosion of any non-Capital based relations
It’s just totally ascientific thinking. You’re connecting things with no evidence of connection.

And evidence aside, your analysis is so coarse it’s basically impossible it could be true. Nothing that coarse is true.

And one last point: I have no doubt your head is filled with examples from history that back up your claim. What you almost certainly don’t have is evidence that there isn’t an equal raft of examples that contradict it.

Not with good algorithms and curation. Sure, it will be an arms race. But another benefit is that it would be completely open, so people could build better algorithms on top of it without having to write their own crawlers, which nobody can do now with Google (at least not for free.)

Good luck getting anybody to build them. FPGAs suck, but exist. Existence is worth more than a thousand good architectures.

Similarly, GPUs. When enough people abused them, they started evolving toward what the abusers actually needed.

A decent abstraction would lead to FPGAs more useful for things other than emulating ASICs. But it has to come first.

> Has this always been the case?

Has this always been the case with Java? With C? With C++? It has been open standard since 2001 and the current compiler open source since 2014. So five or more years. Ten or more with Mono (part of .Net Core today).

> A quick wikipedia search shows that .Net core was first released in June 2016, that only supports the view that microsoft has been very late to the game when it comes to open source languages and frameworks.

.Net Core isn't the first version to be open sourced nor free.
One real problem with the whole "go vegan" thing is that it will just be used to support additional population. Fundamentally, without managing population, all conservation really accomplishes is allowing the population to get even further out past carrying capacity.
For any new work that I do, logging will obviously be at the top of my priority list. Unfortunately, the systems that need the logging the most are the systems that I can only touch when they go down.
> Starting with google: AMP does not actually make loading any faster. Google just uses it's search monopoly to make it seem so. When you use google search with javascript enabled AMP results are both prioritized in the listing and pre-loaded in the background. This makes up the entire increase in load time you perceive. AMP pages not pre-loaded by google are just as slow to load.

You're missing the part where AMP's sandboxed design is required for Google to be able to safely pre-load results, which it can only do on its own origin due to browser restrictions. Which is one of the main reasons that AMP exists in the first place.

It's a nasty hack, but effective. The Web Packaging standard (also Google's work) might remove the need for it, when it's implemented in browsers... someday. Though with Mozilla against it, who knows what will happen.

I'm also generally for your Option 3, but looking at it realistically, we're quite fully committed to Option 2, consuming the entire world in a few generations.

Short of a massive global Marshal Plan level effort to eradicate poverty, educate everyone, and provide contraception so that every locale goes well below replacement reproduction (or a bio-engineered highly contagious virus that causes infertility), I see vastly insufficient efforts to put us on an even sustainable track.

And the problem is that when resources are exhausted to , e.g., a level 10% below what will sustain a polulation, it isn't a 10% die-off, but more like a 90% die-off, since almost all are under the sustainable level. We break hte food web, and we'll likely be part of the mass extinction.

But everyone has normalcy bias, so, enjoy it while it lasts, I guess.
Sadly the current economic incentives seem to reward removing water from aquifers.

Obviously there's direct pumping, but moreso land use changes that stop groundwater infiltration: losing wetlands and forests to pavement, roofs, poorly-designed agricultural drainage, and even regularly-mowed grass which develops subsoil hardpan. Any would-be groundwater is diverted into flash flood runoff and overloaded storm sewer systems.

The ultimate end to this poor land/hydrology management is desertification, where ~zero water is stored on the land and all water immediately drains off in a torrent.
Most of the value you create is done by your subconscious and it can't just google things, so getting things into your head is still required and the more you have there the better.
