Not the person you asked, but I might be able to help - what are you hoping to learn?

How to build automated strategies, how execution algos work, how the market works, etc?
If you haven't seen the actual quotes from him by now, theres no chance you will pay attention to them going forward.
Bingo... a stable business you enjoy pursued for sustainable reasons. I'd add a slight financial component to the list of reasons (hiding in my basement for $50K/year isn't appealing) but that seems consistent with the strategy I recommended.

A second benefit: many established small businesses can be bought for under 5 X EBITDA ($10 MM - $100 MM sales) which usually can be levered up 3:1 using an SBA loan. You could also generate similar returns by funding the right types of organic growth projects. If chosen prudently, there's a lot of upside in those numbers.... (with some risk, naturally)

So while they may do it for the lifestyle, the underlying investment dynamics of the niche are very attractive...
Man, I have to learn more about that at some point. I own a business but it was never designed to be one that took out a business loan. I never even considered it because I just equated losing it with the awfulness of losing a bunch of personal money. Is there a class one can take that teaches people how to work the bankruptcy/llc system the way it's intended to be worked? Meaning, not abusing it, but being "entrepreneurial" in the way that those laws are apparently supposed to incentivize?
That's not the point I was addressing.
Few differences here though.

Thompson and Ritchie were technical pioneers but weren't philosophical pioneers. Their work was entirely about implementing technical solutions, it had nothing to do with the philosophical structure within which those solutions were made.

Jobs and Stallman were different. They had strong and assertive views about how technology "should" be, not just how things would get done.

Jobs was all about accessible, easy to use, and sexy being important to technology.

Stallman is all about resisting the influence on corporate and governmental interests on the development of software.

I mean look at this list of suggestions Stallman made to Microsoft. https://mspoweruser.com/richard-stallmans-10-suggestions-to-... This is entirely about the philosophy of how computer software development should occur, not really anything to do with the technical aspects of it.

Richard Stallman sounds like a bit of a paranoid nutter. Is it safe to assume that his paranoia and personal idiosyncrasies can be separated from his philosophical views of the world (many of which are fundamentally about empowering the individual technology user against corporate and governmental interests which many of us agree with)? The jury is out on that one imo. He has seeded his ideas successfully and now they permeate the culture so perhaps he as an individual is no longer necessary to the movement.

But what about the next Stallman? A man or woman with a vision of how the world should or could be that is informed by their personal flaws? Will they be determined as to problematic to be involved in the industry and we will lose out on a unique way of looking at the world that would leave as all better off? I don't know. None of us do. It's an open question.

The answer is "a lot". Brazil's largest banks still employ "Senior COBOL developers", to name just one example.

Don't most microcontrollers have some EEPROM that could be used for this? I'm assuming even 4 bytes would help a lot. I am pretty sure STM32's with hardware crypto have EEPROM good for a million write cycles.

I have Firefox and Firefox Developer Edition installed on my machine, though my primary workhorse is Chrome Canary(i trade privacy for efficiency and experience). First of all playing video in Firefox is jittery and I could hear fans spinning - I don't have any problems in Chrome or Safari. Rust is Mozilla invented language and they are not using it in Firefox for their advantage.
I still haven't figured out how the elimination of redundant jobs will be rectified by companies trying to sell products/services. If your customers have no money (or credit), then you have no more customers.
Sorry but I don’t agree this is a bug. You need to decode your bytes to properly write a string. Otherwise you get the unexpected result you are showing because it has no way of knowing how your bytes are encoded.
And it would help their preferred races, too. But it wouldn't play nearly as well on HN or Twitter.

Where are you getting this? From the govt statistics that don't include people who have dropped out of the workforce entirely? The same stats that don't differentiate between a salaried career and scraping by in the transient gig economy?

I'm extremely skeptical. Can we afford to just dismiss all these legitimate concerns because, "the govt told me everything is okay"?

I'm sticking to the GNU ChangeLog format, thanks.

https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.htm...

This widely used format gives details about what is being done to each function.

This was designed to be used in a ChangeLog file, so it has to be adopted for repository use. We don't have to record the date and name, since that is in the commit meta-data. WE write a commit title, and then the ChangeLog entry becomes the details placed after the blank line. That entry is mandatory: no title-only commits! There can be one or more discussion paragraphs between the title and the ChangeLog entry. We know that these paragraphs aren't ChangeLog entry material because they don't begin with the asterisk.

For what it's worth, Stephen decided that network was a better model for the universe than a cellular automaton, and thought that space might emerge as a property of that network rather than be "defined in", as in a cellular automaton.

(In the preceding section he discussed some constraints that a cellular automaton would put on the universe model, but didn't dismiss the idea for that reason)

From Wikipedia. You're right that I didn't list every factor.
This is still how the rules are distributed today. I wonder if we'll see teams using this technique this year.

Edit: It looks like this technique wouldn't be useful, since its an exfiltration technique and not a flaw in the encryption algorithm.
It is strange that you say that because the wording is “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” and not “the right of the militia...” and, again, not the right of the states.

The militia certainly are relevant but how they are relevant is the question, not the answer. There are a lot of ways to argue about that, but the right of keeping and bearing arms is literally called the right “of the people” — it isn’t assigned to any other body and the founders certainly had the language to do so if they wanted to.

How we keep and bear the arms is a great question. To my own mind, it would be better if training were more front-loaded. Right now, you buy a gun to be able to get training — seems backwards. It could also be much better if more people held guns through equitable ownership of trusts with firearms homed at a range or other secure location. The net effect would be fewer, more varied and better maintained firearms. The trust also provides a locus for training standards, liability insurance and cooperation with law enforcement.
Game engine implementations have different tradeoffs, and generalized game engines are optimizing for the lowest common denominator. Niche use cases often require custom engines. For example flight simulators need good terrain level of detail streaming, and may need to use special techniques to work around loss of floating point detail when rendering at a global scale. I don't know of any game engine that supports spherical height maps.

On the other hand Kerbal Space program is implemented in Unity, so maybe even off the shelf engines can handle that.
The other day, I was asked to graph project completion time against starting year, in the hopes of showing a positive trend.

Well, going from 2017 to 2018 to 2019 seemed to show an obviously improving trend. But then I realized I needed to explain that it's not just a coincidence that 2017 had more projects that took over a year, compared to 2019.
What do you mean by "discriminatory"? Any criteria you might choose is discriminatory, we could check by IQ or by school marks or by emotional intelligence or by sums of money payed or by any other criteria, at the end someone will get in and someone else not.

You assume that just some test criteria is the only criteria that matters but why? Who said that someone with the best marks in some specific test deserve a place more than someone with lower marks? It is an indicator for ability for sure but guess what, genetics is also a very good indicator and social standings of the family is also a very good indicators and there are many other factors or correlation we could use. There is no "fair", it is only criteria and schools should be able to choose whatever criteria they want, even if they choose to bring in the most stupidest student if they feel like it.
> They pass the taxes through to the consumer, and the consumer behavior doesn't change because you're taxing a necessity of life.

If we're talking about taxing coal in rural India, you're right, but the bulk of the industrialized world will certainly be motivated to make changes. People will eat less beef, and more legumes, for example.

If you made all the other changes but still called it Python 2, how would that help anything? You're still making the same breaking changes.

And if you're not talking about making all the same changes...then it doesn't sound like everything else could have been done in Python 2.

Well, as a person of Russian descent I can say fk you with such offers. The Nazis had pretty clear goals for Slavic people. Hitler gave pretty clear picture in Mein Kampf what he planned for East territories, and there were no plans for anybody but Germans.

> Eliminating fast food jobs is depriving important resources from the youth. Who will be paying for that?

So we should stop all innovation so youth can work at McDonalds to pay for college?

You said no we shouldn't stop progress, then what is your solution?

Continue to innovate, people will find a way to make things work. Don't stop innovation because you want to provide low paying jobs for people.
I'm not sure about the price-beating anymore.

A few days ago I moved into a WeWork clone called JustCo. The spaces are much larger, look virtually identical and are in a neighbouring building. Price difference per month was $2300 vs $1600 + a month free. WeWork's best offer was 5% off if we signed for 12 months. No free beer here, but I've got a beer budget of $700 a month with the savings.

It seems WeWork's sales guys here in Sydney have very little freedom to discount.
So in your eyes, "probably better than China" is the optimum?

I disagree with both you and OP on the race-based oppression Olympics. Class matters more than race. Class heals all past discriminations for educational and professional outcomes.

Most affirmative action beneficiaries are middle and upper class. Their class standing shields them from the effects of past discrimination.

In the case of African Americans, they are less oppressed than Asian (and all other races) applicants that come from immigrant families. African Americans had access to first world education and infrastructure throughout the 1940s-1980s. Compared with immigrants from previously communistic or 3rd world countries, African Americans have been very privileged. It also helps that African Americans don't have a language barrier in America.
> How many American military personnel would just be OK with being told by the President to take property rights and freedoms like that?

We actually have some data about that. See this[1] comment for excerpts from a survey of "300 US Marine Corps soldiers". Short version of the results: 61.66% would not fire on US citizens if given the (illegal) order "I would fire upon U.S. citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the U.S. government.", with 16% of respondents using very heavy pencil marks or writing comments in the margin for that answer.

Yeah, but presumably it's cheaper, so Gresham's Law of Pizza demands that the better-looking pizza become obsolete.
Judges work based on the law. Morals and laws are different. Different people follow or believe different morals. Judges don't get the luxury to follow what they believe is morally right when there is a law covering it. In the US it's Congress who makes laws rather than judges.
I agree, the container part is good. The virtual machines they run on are not.
The Kelly criterion works for serial bets, but since most startup bets take 10 years to pay off, you can only make a few in series over your lifetime.

You want to have many simultaneous investments. You can model this with Black-Scholes, except you don't know any of the parameters. So in practice, just put x% of your available capital into venture bets and put your energy into picking good startups.
No, I'm saying it's apples and oranges for a CEO and financial planner to group employees together who make 10% as much just to beam about how cheap financing is and how anyone with half a mind is going to keep their mortgage because the market for money is so cheap blah blah blah.

We make 10% of this guy's salary. Comparing his apple to our orange is going to disenfranchise people.

You would give affirmative action based on economic status, not race

But race also matters in terms of starting position.
The remote jobs have stock and often sign on bonuses, just like on-site jobs. AWS offers a full package (at the same rate ) for both on-site and remote. Other people I've worked for do similar (I've worked 100% from home for 20 years).

Are new Roe v Wade like cases being heard by the court? There's a chilling effect to people bringing these cases to consider.

I worked for a company which paid for RH licenses (they don't do it anymore).

Being conservative is nice, if it comes with stability, but during RHEL6, 6.4 was the first version that was actually stable.

As for breaking your stack, this actually is not that hard. All you have to do is not tie your application to the system.

Since we're talking about Python, if you use RedHat or CentOS, I highly recommend IUS repo[1] in there you can pick which version of Python you want to use (older if you want to ensure stability, newer if you need cutting edge), you also can install multiple versions side by side, and your application is no longer tied to the OS, that means switching underlying OS or upgrading to next major version (for example to RHEL8) is no longer that should affect your application.

For a large deployment of our SaaS software last year, in order to connect to the raw data for their POS, we discovered they were on mainframes running UNIX. Not Linux, Unix. We had to go to a local library, in the old archived basement to find books that guided us on what the hell we were doing.

50 years from now, with new completely different languages being vogue, some poor engineer is going to have to find a book for Python2.
We now have explicit, written authorization from the head of WhatsApp to reverse engineer ("tear through") the binaries. The ToS only prohibits unauthorized reverse engineering. I agree with you that it was disallowed prior to this comment, but I think it's OK now.
Regarding 1), what do you mean when you say that "capitalism needs ever-increasing consumption to sustain itself"? I don't think that this has been established.

I'm using the standard dictionary version of capitalism: "an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, especially as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth."
That would be a refutation of the claim that the calculation takes O(n) (or more correctly Omega(n)) time. If the center column turned out to be periodic, then yeah, you're basically on the right track: you would get an algorithm that runs in time polynomial in log(n).

I'm not sure how hard it would be to prove a lower bound on time for this problem, but if a polynomial space lower bound were proven (i.e. computing the nth square of the central column requires a Turing machine with access to Omega(n^a) space for some a > 0), then you'd have a sparse language in P that's not in L, which would be a huge advance for computational complexity theory. So definitely don't expect that anytime soon.
