Im one of these people who reaches for threads to solve many a task, and that statement resonates for me. I've never understood why threads are considered so difficult, other than people not getting the message to sparingly share data other than via message-passing.

Any time you need to do something asynchronously, things get trickier, but whether you keep it single threaded or not barely makes any difference. Race conditions exist in single threaded code too as soon as it is interacting with a network or the OS or anything that takes time and you don't want to block.

It's not threads that are hard, it's the explosion of the state space of your program when you commit to accepting further user/network input whilst some task is ongoing, whether you implement that with threads or not.
We had something like a consensus reality when big newspapers framed the terms of debate. Now we're retribalizing. Different groups are working not only with different beliefs, but also different sets of facts to cement their beliefs.

By the time that a society recognizes that a new medium has changed them, it's too late.
I feel like the history of the United States is a fairly stark counter-example to this thought. The chances of dying or getting robbed in the 1800s Wild West were much higher than they are today. The standard of living and safety has improved more or less monotonically since then, mostly due to more laws and regulations. Even recent history in the last 50 years has seen violence and crime decrease while laws grow.
Interesting, thanks for adding that data point. I'm wondering if there is a list of this somewhere, it seems like the kind of thing we'd want to track (similar to e.g. the press freedom map https://rsf.org/en/ranking )

What are the advantages of libra compared to a normal bank transfer inside the bank union? Almost all positive aspects of libra already exists in the eurozone thanks to SEPA.

I never liked the move to really fast-paced, micro-intensive play. Real Time doesn't have to mean such a flurry of movement and clicking. From Starcraft on it seems like the genre has pushed more and more towards the micromanagement game. Heroes exemplified that in WC3.

A battle with more, slower moving units and simplified commands makes for a more tactical match-up that's less about hotkeys and razor-sharp reaction time and more about the art of war.

It bothers me more than it should that the human just watches where they go and immediately finds them, instead of actually playing the game with them.

Without getting too far off the reservation, there has to be a non-negligible difference if the human is genuinely searching and surprised to find them, and there is more to observe if it’s taking a while to find them.

And the Shinkansen, while a great train system especially in combination with Japan's train system generally, isn't cheap. A quick look says $130 for Tokyo to Kyoto--a common several hour route--one way, no-reserved. (Which sounds about right from my experience although I always have gotten one of the tourist passes you can only purchase overseas.)

You get outside of Western Europe and Japan and trains tend to get cheaper--don't have recent experience with China--but western trains are pretty pricey generally, especially of the walk up to the counter and buy a ticket variety.

To tell you the truth, I think that Trump would have done well in any political era, particularly those where unflagging public speaking was necessary to get the gig.

Good political instincts, ability to speak extemporaneously (a rare ability in the modern era). I expect that he could have picked up a House seat fairly easily on the way to a Presidential campaign as sort of a Williams Jennings Bryanesque character.

I do agree though that the internet has changed the character of politics (painfully obvious). Anything that breaks the back of newspapers and broadcasters as gatekeepers isn't such a bad thing, the trick is to avoid having youtube/facebook/etc. become activist successors to the NYT and CBS.

It's improved since the 50s because racism in hiring was legal then, until we passed a law in the 60s banning it. Social attitudes regarding race have shifted dramatically since 1990 (less than half of Americans approved of mixed race marriages then!), but it's not my impression that this has translated to less racism in hiring than 1990.

We also banned discriminating against older people in the 60s, so it's not clear where to go from here.

I have mixed feelings about this. Yes, we should do what is best for most people, and in particular those who cannot or will not configure it by themselves. But I, too, would like to have good defaults.

In this particular case it seems relatively easy: have a blacklist of bad ISPs (similar to how we keep track of phishing sites) and enable it by default for those users (they already have lots of remote calls built in, such as http://detectportal.firefox.com/success.txt or the update check, which could easily check to which ISP the request comes from).

In the general case, I guess it would be something to choose on first run, which nobody wants. Perhaps there should be a flag/setting "I do want first-run questions for questionable defaults", so that I don't have to hear through the media which settings I have to change after the next update?

There's a huge difference though. Regardless of what you choose, your DNS requests have to go somewhere. The alternative to sending everything encrypted to Cloudflare is sending everything in plain text to your ISP and anyone else who wants to snoop on your DNS.

Saying "there is age discrimination in the tech industry" is looking at the symptoms. The root cause is not being able to look at it from the system's viewpoint that causes it.

Tech industry especially the cutting/bleeding edge segment, is a crapshoot. Its survival depends on breaking rules, boundaries, assumptions and being starry-eyed believers

Seasoned engineers appear to "project" they are fixated on things knowingly or unknowingly. If you are doing it unknowingly - time to review one's communication style.

Also, this segment survives (or emerges out of) by riding the technology shifts. For example, here is a shift in the software programming segment.
green screen -> desktop -> web -> mobile -> deep learning.

Most companies do prefer to hire senior members who have experience with prior technology segment and are attempting a newer one.

Can you give some examples?

I think a few years ago this was somewhat reasonable but in my opinion DDG has not only matched but surpassed Google for most searches. As an example (to not make this as if I'm only asking you to do the lifting) a random search that's relevant for me would be 'spacex rocket thrust.' Since Google's results are based on arbitrary tracking and whatever per user magic marketing metrics they decide to apply, it's not repeatable but I imagine you'll probably get at least something similar. We should get identical results for DDG:

-----------

Google:

- 4 redundant wiki pages (all link to each other)

- 2 redundant links to spacex.com site (all link to each other)

- 1 irrelevant theverge article on an arbitrary launch

- 1 space.com link with some relevant information

DDG:

- 1 relevant wiki page

- 2 redundant links to spacex.com site

- 1 tangential article from space.com

- 1 space.com link with some relevant information

- 1 spaceflight101.com link with extremely relevant information

- 1 irrelevant link from teslarati talking about a 'spacex rocket package' for a roadster

- 1 cnn article comparing rocket thrusts

- 1 redundant wiki page

-----------

That was literally the first thing I searched for and I think DDG is clearly better there, though both overall results are quite poor. One big thing is a much better diversity of sources with much less redundancy. But the thing that really pushes this example over the edge is the spaceflight101. It not only provides the most relevant information by a rather wide margin, but is also a critical source for a wide array of related news, specs, and other information.

The reason I think both searches are quite poor is because of how much all search engines today lack any notion of context whatsoever. When I search for 'spacex engine thrust' am I searching for technical information, or am I searching for media information relating to recent launches or developments? That's something that ought be able derived from a contextual analysis of my query, yet nonetheless it quite obviously is not!

Google took us that big leap from 'Abraham Lincoln' not returning hardcore porn, but it feels like the progress we've made since then has been pretty.. meh. And I feel the last few years have seen an overall decline in search quality, but a relative increase in quality for the formerly secondary players such as DDG. In other words it "feels" as though Google of ~4 years ago > DDG today > Google Today. But of course this is, in some ways, going to come down to the person.
Which is not parallelization. There's always the question of should I parallelize my compilation at the compiler level, or the build level (ie. Multiple translation units in flight). I think there's room for both, so you hopefully can get faster incremental compiles of a few number of TUs, but still have the old data level parallelization of multiple TUs.
I'll bet that most people would get by fine with an open source version of a Chromebook.
> (I guess DNS over https and DNS over TLS is the same thing.)

It's not.
It's not a matter of knowledge. If each application ignores the OS DNS configuration in favor of its own, it's no longer possible to make a system-wide change to it. You have to change each application individually, and then go back and do it again for each one that updates to a version that adds its own support for DoH.

You also then end up with each application using its own implementation, but DoH is a complex protocol (DNS+TLS+HTTP), so that's a lot of attack surface. Better to have one high-quality up-to-date implementation in the OS than dozens of applications that each get their own chance to screw it up.

It also breaks all of the usual things that make local DNS work. Your local DHCP server provides your local DNS server which includes entries for the local names with RFC1918 addresses that are only accessible on the local network. Move to DoH via some default external provider and that breaks and requires touching every application on every client to fix it.

Magnetar
A magnetar is a type of neutron star believed to have an extremely powerful magnetic field. The magnetic field decay powers the emission of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, particularly X-rays and gamma rays. The theory regarding these objects was proposed by Robert Duncan and Christopher Thompson in 1992, but the first recorded burst of gamma rays thought to have been from a magnetar had been detected on March 5, 1979.[3] During the following decade, the magnetar hypothesis became widely accepted as a likely explanation for soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs).

It sounds bad, but the fact that it can’t be blocked is important in terms of censorship.

DNS over TLS can be easily blocked by blocking port 853. To block DNS over HTTPS you need to block the entire HTTPS traffic.

You're going to have to explain that last bit: "and everyone else who wants to snoop"? Are you talking about someone who MITMs the connection between every subscriber and the ISP's DNS servers, e.g. intelligence agencies? Or like evil employees at the ISP? In either case, sending it plaintext to a benevolent foreign entity doesn't make it any better (Cloudflare still has employees that can be evil, and I'd rather the AIVD snoops on me than the NSA), so I guess there is some other risk you're talking about?

Google has objfs, a authenticed network mounted drive that is an object file cache. Usually most of the tree has already been compiles so just your change needs to get recompiled and relinked.

Further, there's then GOMA which is the distcc equivalent. I frequently build Android with 500 cores in the cloud. For that reason, I don't think Google engineers will ever focus on the compiler speed of llvm. That said, LLD (llvm's linker) is the fastest linker in town by far.
