The author of the article is Bernhard J. Stern, and it's also interesting to read about him:

http://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv62136

"In the early 1950's Bernhard Stern and his wife Charlotte Todes Stern, were among many Americans summoned by Senator McCarthy's Committee on Un-American Activities. Charlotte Stern was one of 25 literary names who defied the Committee and faced jail sentences. In addition, three of Stern's own books (all on medicine) were banned from the State Department's overseas libraries. As a result of this Committee's questioning and the "red scare", both the Sterns worked all the harder for the Bill of Rights guarantees."

His other article about technology:

Stern, B. J. (1945). The Challenge of Advancing Technology. The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 242(1), 46–52. doi:10.1177/000271624524200107

My preferred version of this (which so far as I know is original to me; see http://www.mccaughan.org.uk/g/log/2009/ontological.html):

Consider a proof of God's existence than which no worse can be conceived. Proofs that are merely wrong (bad logic, false premises, etc.) are two a penny; clearly the worst possible proof would in fact have to conclusively refute the proposition it was trying to prove.

As St Anselm has taught us, clearly a worst-possible proof "exists in the understanding". But a proof so bad that it actually refutes its intended conclusion is clearly much worse if it actually exists in reality. Hence such a proof that exists only in the understanding is not worst-possible after all.

Hence, there exists (in reality, not merely "in the understanding") a proof of God's existence so bad that it conclusively proves that there is no God.

And, of course, if there is a conclusive proof that there is no God, there is in fact no God. Hence, there is no God. Thanks, St Anselm!

You started the thread by saying that if you used a library that is broken by the maintainer you would call that malice. Things being broken is directly related to bugs and maintenance - detecting if and how a breakage is malice is the first problem in your arguments.

I'm also trying to tell you that your whole base premise is wrong, that even expecting some library to work or to keep working is too much (unless you apply one of the solutions I offered). Calling certain behaviors stupid absolutely has a place in a discussion about when people play with fire and then are surprised they get burnt, I think you deliberately missed my point that if you put yourself in danger you only have yourself to blame and most laws do care about that nuance. In the end the job and obligation of keeping the software you write secure is just as much on the person writing some libraries.

We can argue if x or y are effective defense in courts or not but as I said, that hasn't been tried out in the case of open-source software being broken. I also have to repeat that when you look at malicious software and changes in practice then the law applies retroactively and you have to deal with preemptive defense yourself - going back to my first point(s), you have to change the way you develop software instead of hoping what you randomly execute is good.

Hopefully you now understand what I'm trying to say to you better, English isn't my first language, sorry.
On the contrary, I've seen a lot of great smaller stores be able to set up their own web stores much easier thanks to tools like shopify or stripe. There is still a decent amount of work going towards allowing the smaller guys to have a presence online.
No, the manufacturer likely uses Amazon as their fulfillment network as you often get better storage/shipping rates this way.

These manufacturer fulfilled network (MFN) orders cost the manufacturer a premium in shipping fees over FBA orders (orders sold/fulfilled through Amazon), but don't carry the referral fee (8-40%).

Given this, it is almost always cheaper for the manufacturer to sell off Amazon and ship MFN... if you ignore customer acquisition cost.

I don't understand why Shopify doesn't create a search engine for Shopify products. Overnight they would become a powerhouse akin to Amazon and solve the #1 issue faced by sellers -- product discovery.

The #2 issue Shopify sellers face is fulfillment, but IIRC they are investing $1B+ in building out their own FCs across the US. (Which is peanuts, but a step in the right direction)
Nobody said it had to be scale-end effects alone. But yes, when I look at that Dunning-Kruger graph, I don't see what the authors of TFA say or what the common misinterpretation is (I agree with the authors about how it's commonly misconstrued), I see bad calibration, but the rank order of everything looks right.
I'm not any kind of economist, but to me this seems like asking whether the sky really ought to be blue. Reducing the impact of debt (and by extension interest rates) on the economy is every bit as simple as undertaking a massive transforming project to change the color of the sky.

An actual literal triangular cross-section would be unpleasant to hold because of the sharp edges, I think. So you need to get rid of those somehow. If planar surfaces are the easiest things to make, then the best you can do is to cut off the corners with straight lines, at which point you have a hexagon.

Not necessarily a regular hexagon, though. You might have long sides alternating with short ones. But a regular-hexagon writing tool behaves sufficiently like a rounded-off-triangular one for many purposes.
Things You’ve Always Wondered About CBD (But Were Too Afraid to Ask)
I think many people don't understand how negative rates are possible because they are used to having FDIC insurance for their bank account. The issue is that an entity with billions of dollars to protect (such as a pension fund) cannot rely on the FDIC because of the $250K insurance limit. There are not enough banks in the US to spread billions of dollars across, $250K at a time, even if an entity was willing to manage 10's of thousands of bank accounts. A government bond is generally the safest alternative. When demand for the safest level of protection is high, an entity might be willing to pay for the protection because market conditions make them unwilling to accept greater risk. Personally, I believe this is the main reason for very low rates right now. The big fixed income entities expect an economic downturn. It's just a question of how many months away it is.
I've been playing around with Otter all day and it's great. Really slick interface on both mobile and web. Has tons of great UX touches and overall feels polished. Thanks for the recommendation!
For your #2:

HyperCard is primarily mouse-oriented; I don't believe there's a way to add keyboard shortcuts (without writing an XCMD in another language like Pascal). Instead you'd add a button into the other stack (probably on the background) to 'go to "UtilityStack"'.

This would take you to the first card of the stack you'd created, which naturally takes over since it's the one being shown (no need to explicitly 'steal' events). Once you're done there, either use Go > Back (Cmd+B, I believe) or have a button on the card with the script 'go back'. This takes you to the previous card the same way that the back button in your browser would, and likewise events now go to that card with no explicit rebinding required.
I love shopping at smaller retailers that sell great products. In fact, my main problem is finding them. Does anyone know of a website or something that promotes niche retailers in different categories?
> We take uptime very seriously, and we’re working hard to support the millions of customers that choose Coinbase to manage their cryptocurrency

No you don't.

- If you did, you'd hire a DBA team and they would be familiar with the various jobs in your environment. But first your founders would have to have respect for Operations, which will take a dozen more major outages.

The other major Coinbase outages have also been database-related, namely missing indexes.

- If you did, you wouldn't be doing major database (or other production) changes at 3 pm in the afternoon.

So let's cut to the chase. You prioritize features over Operations, and as a result guinea-pig your users. Just like any other SF startup. So just admit that to your end-users.
Maybe, but that doesn't make much sense to me. Kubernetes is an OS like Linux. You work with and think about Linux whether you're running your own hardware or relying on a cloud service like EC2 or even Lambda. The same will happen to k8s to the point where you will eventually not have to do any of the management - but you will still need to understand how the system works, the primitives it offers and how to use it.

And while k8s is painfully complicated, there were simpler alternatives and they lost. Maybe that's just a matter of execution or Google hype, but more likely it's because you need a complicated standard when you want to be able to describe most distributed systems.

I had just signed in to suggest Godot myself. :)

For the GP, here's the Godot web site: https://godotengine.org/

While Godot has its idiosyncrasies, in terms of being a tool that made it possible to actually get something done and playable, I've been pleased with the results I've gotten from it so far.

The ability to export to HTML5 in addition to desktop & mobile is great for getting a project in front of people quickly--particularly useful for things like game jams: https://rancidbacon.itch.io/sheet-em-up (which I created as my first game jam entry :) ).

Godot is also released under a MIT license and has multiple full-time developers working on it (supported in part by monthly community donations).

Hacker's Latest Target: School Districts
Lots of architectural and cultural problems IMO. Mixing different kinds of queries on the same cluster, no auto scaling on neither cluster nor web server, they seem to be okay with customer-impacting maintenance events (seriously?!), and their "fix" for an event caused by cache misses is to add more caching, which will make their system even harder to understand and predict, increasing the likelihood of more severe and byzantine failures.

It's often an unpopular opinion around here, but this is why I prefer simple hosted databases with limited query flexibility for high volume and high availability services (Firestore, DynamoDB, etc.). It's harder to be surprised by expensive queries, and you won't have to fiddle with failovers, auto scaling, caching, etc. Design your system around their constraints and it will have predictable performance and can more easily scale under unexpected load.

I honestly don't know, but probably not that uncommon as naming for the father has carried into the modern era. No less confusing to have three generations of John Smith.

The eldest getting a given name may have been a status thing, perhaps tied in with succession. Eldest being the one that would inherit the land or title. The young had all sorts of opportunities to die, and even escaping childhood was no guarantee as you'd then be expected to make up a Lord or King's retinue of men for any conflict. Maybe it's the origin of popes and some monarchs taking a name on succession - the "job name".

There is already widespread belief, in the rest of the state, that the Philadelphia area (as the largest concentration of population and wealth) has an unfairly outsized influence over Harrisburg.

The result of moving the capital to Philadelphia would surely strain the legitimacy of the state government even more.

Moving it to Pittsburgh would accomplish the same exact thing except it would be arguably even less just.

There are any number of reasons why keeping it in Harrisburg is imperfect but it's probably the least bad solution.
Because there is absolutely no rule that says that what you work on has to be, or even should be, "consequential to humanity". Sometimes people work on things because it's personally interesting to them, and that's absolutely fine.

He asked about careers in computer science, and so I laid out the truth. If you want to get offended fine, but reality is reality. People need to understand careers and plan accordingly, the 75k - 175k group is under increasing pressure from abroad. I tried to highlight that whilst keeping the post brief. Also, the 175 is often in very high cost of living areas, so its really not as much as it sounds.
The New Wave of Tech Founders Can Cure the Industry’s Ageism Problem
You know a platform doesn't care about security if either:

a. They don't do end-to-end integrity and non-repudiation (not signed hashes of
files, not just https, not just hashes, but signed archives/files that can be verified as coming from the developer either with gpg, s/mime or x509 certs)

b. They allow packages to execute code or scripts on download or installation

And, they don't care about your time if they don't automatically offer a prebuilt, reproducible binary mechanism with a build-from-source install/verification option.
Technically the chances of tilde not working are the same as cd behaving differently because they’re both shell builtins.

I’m guessing (though admittedly not checked) that both ~ and cd (without parameters) are defined in POSIX. In which case any edge case that doesn’t conform could reasonably be discounted with regards to the submission’s exercise.

Living in Japan, I feel like they've naturally developed the culture of changing the color of the sky.

> A clown is not "that for which no greater horror can be conceived"

I don't know, some people are really scared of clowns.

Also as a reminder, your "proof" is something made up throughout history along with thousands of other denominations of thousands of other religions of thousands of other gods people have conceived through thousands of years. I can imagine many great things and it doesn't mean it exists, that's where this "proof" fails. Calling this "proof" is, if not a lie, but a big detriment to the notion of proofs already tested and held dear.

As an addendum, if you follow your logic then you're still left with the old 'who created God' argument because although you might imagine some great entity, any entity that god can imagine should surely be greater than the god you imagine so their god must be true. You still have the infinite egress problem diluting your "proof".
> 1. What's the equivalent of HTML5 canvas in Hypercard?

Scripting the paint tools. A practical example:

choose select tool
set cursor to blank
drag from 0,0 to 100,100
doMenu "Select"
set dragSpeed to 150
drag from 40,50 to 480,125
set lockscreen to true
set cursor to blank
doMenu "Select All"
doMenu "Revert"
choose browse tool

> 2. Suppose there's a little dataflow drawing program somebody else wrote in Hypercard. I want to add a binding for my own transient card to pop up on keyboard shortcut, gain focus, steal all input events, then go away on another keyboard shortcut (and return input events to their original bindings). How do I do that?

A keyDown handler in the Home stack and "push/pop card", probably. There isn't really any way to make a card appear on top of another card, though.

How to use new FB search graph
This could be a fun project idea. How would you imagine yourself finding what you are looking for?

Would you see yourself going to a website like "momandpops.com" and choosing from categories like "Household" "Clothing" "Outdoors" and subcategories like "Clothing > Men's" "Clothing > Kid's"? When you select the categories, you'd be shown a listing page of smaller retailers that sell products in that category.
