When there's a trade that makes both sides better off that increases the happiness in the world. It's a Pareto improvement.

When marketing convinces someone to buy something that ends up being a bad trade (i.e. the person that buys it is not made better off) then there is no such improvement and the world is not made better off.

To be honest there's not much to distinguish this article from any other ignorant "DEY TOOK ERR JERBBS" But let me speak to the specifics I'm familiar with.

>For example, Intel Corporation, which is the world’s second largest manufacturer of semiconductor computer chips and is headquartered in California, has long been a major employer in Israel, with over 10,000 employees in the Jewish state. However, earlier this year, Intel announced that it would be investing $11 billion in a new factory in Israel and would receive around $1 billion in an Israeli government grant for that investment. Just a matter of months after Intel announced its major new investment in Israel, it announced a new round of layoffs in the United States.

Intel's investment strategy is to invest in its growth drivers and to cut costs in the product that aren't. So if you happen to be a team working on Intel's 5G solutions - guess what? Bad news. If you happen to be working on Intel's automotive solutions? Great news!

Guess where Intel's Autonomous Driving Group is based? That's right! Israel! Guess where they're investing? Israel! Guess why? Because the ADG is there. But why did they base the ADG there? They didn't. They bought an Israeli company that was already succesful.

But just to be clear - even if the articles examples weren't bullshit, the underlying point is still wrong, no one is stealing anyone elses jobs, jobs get created where innovation happens. If jobs aren't being created where you are, maybe it's time to look at your own team.

C's memory model also precludes decent string handling also, yet it has a string library. But that's it; the only other data structuring provided is the qsort function for sorting arrays and bsearch for searching them. I think it's deliberate. It looks like ISO C tends to avoid specifying new library features that can (and likely would be) be written entirely in C.

I think this guy wrote a great article. However I don’t know if I agree with his conclusion of him not being a good web developer.

I would bet that most great developers have googled often enough. In their defense googling is a more efficient tool than pouring through manpages all the time that have poor search indexes.

Also, in this developer’s blog, there is no reference to the fact that his code is buggy or less maintainable, or plethora of other reasons that categorically make him a bad developer.

I think it’s ok, to use help from google or stack overflow to do a good job at your task and that doesn’t make you a bad programmer.
Since one's brain is not able to translate a thought into a search engine query which leads straight to the answer, that virtual memory analogy doesn't work at all.
>better extensions support

Better support for modern crippled extensions you mean. It's still impossible to really theme or customize Firefox Quantum. Most of the good theme developers just gave up and left. If I can't make Firefox work the way I want why should I use it instead of other browsers I also can't customize and who don't make kindergarten-level mistakes like forgetting to renew key security certificates and disabling extensions for everyone on the planet for tens of hours?

That was my conclusion when I implemented our company search engine. Lucene/Sole was nice, had better frontends, but a horrible backend in Java needing too much memory. Sphinx was small and fast, but lacked all the
important additional functionality I needed. Eg. customized ranking, aliases, language detection and stemming, a good Google-like query parser. I probably forgot most, this was 20 years ago.
I reckon that arms-race only exists because the web is fundamentally broken due to having/allowing some level of anonymity.

If you could perma-ban a spammer's real world identity or that of his company (or any company they're a part of), then there would be no need for the arms race. Just a continual "negotiation" whereby bad behavior is informed and requested to stop. And if that entity decided to ignore such a request they'd get the nuclear option of being permanently banned from the platform. You could argue that such a system would not be that different to real-world licensing requirements/restrictions as applied to lawyers and doctors.

Just follow the identity like you would the money, and you could solve a good chunk of this issue.

>Take lenses for example. All of this unnecessarily complicated shit because Haskell doesn’t have any reasonable record syntax.

Lenses (in the original, pre-Laarhoven form) are literally the same as properties in, say, C#. The extra complexity in their modern form is to pack the setter and getter into a single function, and allow in-place modification (without going throgh getter and then back through setter). The extra-extra complexity in the lens package is the result of Edward Kmett et al generalizing it to support traversals and pattern matching, while also providing support for the entire standard library and the kitchen sink.

As for mutation, I agree. I think Rust with hihgher-kinded polymorphism would be my ideal language.

One can't really build a robust and comprehensive (server-side) search engine on top of Google's search API. In other words, Google Inc isn't going to provide an API so powerful that one can build an "alternative to Google" with it.

On the other hand, if you're talking about a "client-side" filter instead of a new search engine, (e.g. a client-side webscraper that flips through the Google results pages), you'd run into multiple problems. E.g. random CAPTCHAS screwing up the automation script, and the difficulty of creating a "rules engine" (e.g. machine learning) on your local computer that recognizes blog articles with a commercial slant.

Usually the configuration stays the same, though - why not a way for the user to indicate when it has? Hold down an awkward combination of three far-flung keys while booting, the BIOS wakes up and checks every device plugged into it, otherwise it just pulls it in from a cache.

(And how much does the average computer's config change? How many users never change a single part of the hardware configuration of their computer for its entire lifetime? A hobbyist who built their own might swap out CPU/GPU/drive/ram/etc, but how many people upgrade their laptops in any way?)

Get all that backup stuff spun up. Save the state of the entire computer the same way you're saving a hibernation snapshot. Next boot, just pull that snapshot up. Something makes that snapshot crash? Reset and run the slow boot, either because the system caught this, or because the user held down the "invalidate bootup snapshot" chord.

Although realistically I never reboot my computer any more unless I'm doing an OS upgrade anyway. It's all just "sleep" and "wake up" nowadays for me, so I don't care if bootup adds a minute or two to the end of the half an hour or so my computer spent downloading the update and applying it. Maybe a cold boot just isn't worth optimizing any more.
Thank you, I already knew about it but had somehow forgotten.
Criticisms aren't downsides though, imo. I'd imagine downsides are more objective, less subjective.

Eg, Rust often gets criticized for it's Syntax (rather, lots of it, ::<>, etc.). Yet, this isn't a downside in Rust, it's merely an opinion.

I'd be curious though what you think these downvoted into oblivion criticisms are? The ones here have been well received, and are quite fair. I'd be curious to see a criticism that's not widely agreed upon.
These systems aren't just windows systems, you're talking guidance systems / platforms often times controlled by SCADA platforms. While windows is a component, the real effective hacking as with stuxnet was modifying low level code to create values that appear in line, but in fact were false creating an improper outcome. If the US hacked iran, it wasn't a hackers style animation, it was something low level designed to impact things beyond windows. I wouldn't put it past them to even use media to imply they had simply to break down their trust in their systems. It's effective in a post Stuxnet world, where they know first hand it's possible.

It's also very hard for anyone to yell about retaliation when it did not cause deaths (that we know about) and it serves as a deterrent. These stories are going to only continue to be more and more common.

> Honestly the fact there are so many new apps made for pc that aren’t 64bit is mind blowing to me.

Assuming you mean Windows, there are still a nontrivial number of PCs in the wild that are running a 32-bit OS. It's not huge -- about 1.5% of gaming PCs according to the Steam survey, probably a bit higher for home and office computers -- but either way it's enough that building applications as 64-bit-only is problematic.

I got started with graphical programming with RapidQ, a sort-of cross between VB and Delphi (and the predecessor to RealBasic). I had a 486/Pentium I machine around that time, with not enough hard disk space to install VB (and too young to afford upgrades or VB itself).

It was not as powerful as VB, but being able to display graphical widgets in as few lines of code as VB got me hooked. Funnily enough RapidQ also supported writing CGI apps, which was my gateway into server-side programming.
Filtered or bottled often tastes a lot better. Depends on where you live. Tap's noticeably worse than bottled or filtered where we live now, but not intolerably bad.

We used to live somewhere (in the US, to be clear) that, if you made iced tea with tap water, you could smell it as you brought it to your mouth. The water, I mean, not the tea. Smelled kinda sulfurous, and otherwise just off-putting. You could tell if a restaurant didn't filter their water because you could smell it in the cup, from a good foot away (luckily, most filtered it). This despite bathing and washing clothes in it and therefore probably being less sensitive to the odor than someone from out of town would be.

Needless to say it tasted terrible. We didn't even cook with that stuff. Cheap gallon jugs of filtered water for cooking.

Right but people who use FPGAs as accelerators a la MSFT catapult went to Altera and asked them specifically to write and ship RTL to enable them to do so. They use it with an ISA abstraction because they bought so many chips that Altera did a big chunk of the design work for them. That's a valid approach but I wouldn't say that's really doing FPGA design.
Did you want to make hifi amps, or guitar amps? The electronics knowledge and construction techniques are nearly 100% transferrable, but the design lore diverges, and the online DIY communities can be very diverse. I've built a dozen or so guitar amps, preamps, etc.

I don't personally build hifi stuff, but I love John Brodskie's tubecad.com for the analysis of classic circuit topologies, and tons of original ideas. He offers nice looking PCB's for preamps and power supplies.

For me it was useful to determine what I wanted to build first, and find the related online sites and communities.
Depending on where you live, changing your name can be much more of a hassle than this. My wife did it recently, and the whole process took several months and cost nearly $1000 all told. It involved filling out a bunch of paperwork, taking ads out in two legal newspapers, and a court date.

I agree that there is a systematic problem, as far as i could understand your previous comment was suggesting that the issue is entirely in existence of private companies, but judging by previous attempts of eliminating them i think changing the way government works is a more promising route.

Your previous comment doesn't look like a reasonable middle to me. The reasonable attitude would be "yay, new resource, we need to find a way to use it without breaking anything".

That seems strange to me. 15" seems like a pretty standard size for carrying cases, etc. 17" made sense as significantly larger. Unless they plan to replace the 15" with the 16" and get it in the same chassis form factor, this seems like overloading that space with too many options. Apple generally has pretty segmented product lines, perhaps one good option for large categories (casual users, power users, etc.) without making you think too hard after getting in a general segment.
So this is a bit off topic, but on the note of time investment, I'd definitely say learning Rust is valuable for your mental model. Common patterns in languages (take Go for example) allow you to do unsafe things very, very easily. Often simply involving pointers.

When you start writing programs in Rust you can often back yourself into a corner. These corners are often unsafe, but allowed patterns in other languages.

Sure, you can solve this by forcefully Mutexing everything, or you can often learn a "better" design which doesn't involve trying to prevent race conditions. These batter patterns are not exclusive to Rust and can be brought to many languages. It's just that most languages won't help you discover them.

So what I'm saying is that learning Rust can make you a better X developer, even if you don't stick with Rust. Especially if you really learn it, and get a feel for what patterns to avoid, etc. If you just learn the syntax Rust isn't likely to help you, imo.
The toolchain is indeed rubbish. One of the ironies of the world- while Software engineers tend not to understand how FPGAs actually work and which bits are important, the tools to compile for FPGAs are generally written by hardware engineers who don't know how to write good software tools.

Sounds like you perhaps have experience of dynamically-typed languages? Haskell is statically typed, compiled, has a scalable multi-threaded runtime, a very good FFI; and was designed around the notion that large programs should be built by composing small programs.
From personal experience as a cognitive psychologist, I have found it prohibitively complicated (albeit possible) to implement randomly counterbalanced experiments in Qualtrics. Stimuli sampling and reaction time measurement are particularly hard to implement (unless they've added more functionality recently).

All three of these pieces of functionality are required for many common paradigms in experimental psychology.
