Some of these points are convincing, so I shall slightly modify my argument.

If Galt's Gulch had taken in the hardworking labourers as well as the management Ayn would have basically been writing a parable of the US vs the USSR. She might have been happy to do that too, but with Atlas Shrugged she clearly wasn't satisfied saying "Capitalism is better". She wanted to say "Communism doesn't work, and the driving idea here is really bad and should be rejected".

So although horrible things did happen to the workers in the story of Atlas Shrugged, it wasn't at all because Ayn's message was anti-labour. Her point was that if the power of labour was being directed by people who wanted to redistribute capital based on need/fairness/something-other-than-ability-to-use-capital then the story would not go to a good place.

Her philosophy had nothing bad to say about people who worked hard and earned money. It had a lot of unkind things to say about people who worked hard to support involuntary redistribution, and stood idly by without understanding that power was shifting away from the capable people.

> In the world of Ayn Rand, the worker only exists to acknowledge the superiority of the exceptional.

If I look around my room, I can't really name a person who could create any item in it except some of the technical writings. If I could, it would be the very small fraction of my acquaintances who are not clerks, office workers, administrative types or in the health or service sector. I rely pretty heavily on exceptional people of superior creativity to myself. I suspect most of the people on this forum do too.

Before the ACA, I contracted, and only carried catastrophic coverage on myself. I had no coverage until my yearly bills reached $5k, but that was also my max out of pocket. My insurance ran $63/month - which was ridiculously cheap and the worst I could ever be "ruined" was $5k.

Keep in mind I live in the backwoods of a small state in the US and could have a catscan in an hour, an MRI tomorrow, would likely only wait 15-45 minutes at an ER, had access to proton cancer treatment years before a single person in Europe had it, and was covered by MD Anderson, the top rated cancer treatment center in the world.

The extra money the US pays into healthcare isn't all for naught.
Tip: A good part of microsoft documentation is now hosted on github... you may want to have a look at the revision history there and try to find the deleted docs this way (for example this is the repository for azure bot: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/bot-docs/tree/live/articles ).

Nolan Bushnell has a fairly extensively documented history of sexual harassment and sexist behavior.

His achievements are definitely there, but it's important to also have the context that they likely came with impact to others.

I bring this up because until very recently I wasn't aware of it, and I think there's an interesting thread to follow from Nolan's behavior and company culture, through the development and marketing scene of games in the 90s, to today.

"Without governments to enforce the law or money to keep people in line, they believe that things will immediately revert to the law of the jungle."

If they think that they would be right. States collapse relatively regularly and broadly the same thing happens every time -- gangs, tribal affiliations etc replace the previous rule of law, and protection racketeering becomes the norm. If you think it would be any different wherever you live you're kidding yourself.
It uses JSON-RPC which isn't held to a specific transport that I'm aware of. Currently in VSCode if you use a language server for Go, it launches the language server and appears to simply pipe data in and out using STDIN and STDOUT. That should be pretty fast if there isn't a cmd.exe somewhere in the mix.

There's a lot of talk about fast C++ JSON libraries and how they can parse 1GB of JSON per second, and that's a lot of data, for sure, if you only count the data that's wrapped up in JSON. 1GB of JSON data contains a lot of waste that is not even usable data, and that's before you consider the textual encoding of what may better be represented by binary data, which inflates the size of a JSON file even further than the JSON syntax itself does. A binary file that is read at 1GB per second would contain far, far more actual data, and binary files can be read and written much more quickly than 1GB/s.

I'm really starting to lose patience with all the JSON and web technologies that are finding their way into non-web use cases. using binary formats and simple programs to handle them is really, truly, easier to rationalize about, easier to maintain, easier to write, and easier to replace when the time comes.

As with Rails, my take is that if you need to make a web app, use the big framework. The pieces you don't use don't cost much in terms of performance or maintainability, but the inverse is true otherwise: piecing together your own Django with a lighter weight framework adds a maintenance overhead that you wouldn't have with a batteries-included framework.

I use Flask for simple APIs and microservices. If I'm writing a full web app, it's Rails (or Django).

> but the tree of life isn't a tree

That’s correct but I don’t see what this has to do with my comment. It’s still a fact that all modern life, at some point, came through the same individual organism (EDIT: this should be population) which, furthermore, already possessed the fundamental machinery of DNA replication, RNA transcription and protein synthesis (amongst other things).

EDIT: I misunderstood. Yes, you’re right: due to lateral gene/molecule transfer, it’s not certain that the last universal common ancestor was an individual cell, and at that time the label “individual” probably didn’t make much sense (although the paper I linked argues strongly that it was in fact one single cell).

From what I've heard, there are two more major reasons to not use STL for gamedev.

- Debug build performance. Release builds of C++ code using STL are generally pretty fast, but Debug builds suffer a lot (especially Visual Studio's std::vector implementation is notoriously horrible for debug builds). Debug executable speeds matter when you are debugging a game; you don't want to test your first-person shooter in 1 FPS!

- Build speed. Because of heavy use of templates and historical cruft, STL slows down your build times a lot. The build-test cycle is very important when designing games; you don't want to wait for a few hours after you've changed a few lines of code to tweak a new feature. Gigantic distributed build servers alleviates this problem a bit, but they are pretty cumbersome to set up nonetheless.

Growing up in total poverty, raised by a single mother who fought cancers and died twice on operating tables let me tell you one thing.

Money is nothing. Poverty won't make you unhappy.

Humans are good at finding new baselines. Poverty will simply become your new normal and the little things of life will still bring you joy. Seeing a loved one will still make you a smile. Life is worth living even without any ressources.

I know some may not consider the category as part of web frameworks, but one significant omission is the category of static site generators (e.g. Pelican).

If you want a fairly simple site that you'll use/modify only occasionally (e.g. blog), save yourself some headaches and just use something like Pelican. No need to worry about databases, and no need to worry about how to deploy. I used Django for some years, but the hosting provider kept making changes to the libraries resulting in my web site going down frequently.

This is why it is very interesting that the next "Core" release is to be called ".NET 5". No more "Framework", no more "Core". Simple version math applies: .NET 5 > .NET Framework v4.6.8 && .NET 5 > .NET Core 3.0. Maybe it will be less confusion all around, hopefully, soon.
This is a pretty significant shifting of the goalposts.

The argument was users should have the ability to run whatever code they want on their iPhones. That is actually possible today.

It costs a $100/year, which considering the costs of the phones is pretty reasonable. Part of the reason it has to cost something non-trivial is because otherwise it would encourage massive piracy, which would devalue the entire App Store (in fact exactly what we see on Android).

If the argument is users should be able to run whatever code they want, but they also must have free access to the development tools and resources like Xcode and Dev Center (which cost how many tens or hundreds of millions to develop?) then you’ve totally lost me.

I understand and appreciate the principle that it should generally be possible to develop and run the programs of your choosing on smartphone-type hardware. In no way should a company be forced to spends millions of dollars to facilitate that at scale if that’s not their business model, particularly when it would primarily be used to directly attack their ecosystem.
I don't think tools like this are meant to replace Pivotal (or Jira, or whatever you use for tracking Sprint stories/tickets).

Roadmapping (or in this case, user story mapping) is usually done independently from Sprint planning as a way to develop and share the product roadmap so that your team can prioritize Jira/Pivotal tickets or whatever your team uses for tracking Sprint tasks.

I find it contradictory that Apple have open sourced an entire operating system and an entire kernel, and are kvetching over a mere privilege to begin approaching a distro of their OS. I'm not fighting the freedom fight, I'm in awe of the bait-and-switch they're employing.

Wouldn't that be roughly equivalent to borrowing from future generations? Although accounting math says you can borrow from someone who isn't born yet that is impossible in the physical world we live in; it is bound by laws of time and space.

Exactly - visas aren't quite as black and white as the website appears to make out. There's visa on arrival vs having to go to an embassy/consulate (and there might not be one in the country you're currently in - it's not impossible to get yourself into a state where you have to travel back to your home country to be able to apply for a visa to your intended destination). Plus certain visas actually give you right of entry to other countries (for example if you have a US visa, you can enter nearly forty countries visa-free, some with caveats).

It's probably a combination of target market and trade offs.

To make SMT-4 perform well you want to have larger caches so that cache contention between the threads doesn't become the bottleneck, but that eats a lot of transistors. It's essentially a brute force trade off between performance and manufacturing cost and IBM is more willing to say "damn the cost" than Intel.

There's also the matter of who needs a machine like that. There is a lot of ugly pointer-chasing code in the world, but to take advantage of SMT-4 it has to be well-threaded ugly pointer-chasing code. You basically need a customer that needs their application to scale and is willing to do the bare minimum necessary to make that possible, but not spend a lot of resources actually optimizing the code once they get it to the point that throwing more hardware at it is a viable alternative. That's the enterprise market in a nutshell right there, and that's where IBM lives.

Visa policies might be very different from one country to another, updated quiet often etc.

What you believe to be the source of truth on the internet might not be the actual truth. For personal reasons I recently had to know whether or not a Visa was required for a personal short travel to Russia for a Mauritius citizen. Various information can be found on the internet, some says yes, some says no. Your website says a visa is required. However, a visa is not required in this case.

It's very tricky to get the correct information, always up to date, and your website can lead to people having issues entering a country.
