A hunter in our area back at home told us this was an issue (this was something around a decade ago). Mentioned that he always checked his catch on-site for TB, and if it showed any symptoms he’d just leave it there. It’s not worth the risk.

> 4. Make arrays your goto data structure.

The others are arguable. But, in 2019, this is flat out bad advice.

Your "go to" data structures should be hash tables about 70% of the time and vectors about 30% of the time. In 2019, memory and CPU are so stupidly abundant that the abstraction costs nothing in 99.9% of all cases. The programmer gain for not having allocation, dereference, fencepost, and invalidation errors is enormous.

But, then, this is hardly surprising advice from someone who only learned about a "scripting language" in 2015. The rest of us realized that those silly "scripting languages" were better than C++ for 90+% of our problems way back in 1995.

And anyone who has used a "scripting language" realizes extremely quickly just how stupidly useful hash tables are.
...and there is no /r/bestiality. Come on, people...if you are going to make a forum for your interests, at least learn to spell the name of those interests. The word comes from the Latin word bestia.
It depends. Some things are visibly awkward, unpleasant to learn and use, and clearly short-lived. It only pays to learn and work on them if you are paid a lot of money. My pet example from the 1990s is Win16, which I skipped entirely for Win32. Many 4GL languages from the 90s stayed there too. Every second of time dedicated to Javascript frameworks before React/Vue was probably a waste of time. (OTOH learning the bare-metal JS paid off well.)
Before digital audiobooks were available, there were a number of offerings on cassette tapes, and LP records even earlier. I remember subscribing to Recorded Books and Books on Tape which would mail an unabridged book on multiple cassettes. They arrived in a cardboard box after requesting them through an 800 number. The rental was for thirty days.

The two that stand out from that time are both by Robert Graves: I, Claudius and Claudius the God. It was such an immersive experience into the Roman Empire that it made my long commute not only bearable but an anticipated joy. Both books are available on Audible by a different narrator than those I heard. If you want more of Graves’ Julio-Claudian drama, it’s hard to beat the BBC adaption starring the great Derek Jacobi [1]. For more, top it off by actually reading the books.

The US does not tolerate any competing power structures. The chances of China to fall in line with a billion people is not that high. This trade war is never going to end until China is reduced to such a level that it can no longer fight and gives up and joins the world order as a subordinate state. I don't think China's confidence is broken to such a level that it surrenders. So this is probably the only move to make going forward. Otherwise China could easily disable key industries rather quickly and without much recourse.
Diligent practice?
> just pay people to move to help their party win

If they can disguise it as something else - "Temporary relocation grant to help small communities" or some other made up name, and then ensuring that everyone involved understands the real reason, but nobody leaks it out. But that seems morally and legally wrong. Otherwise, they could just hand out restaurant coupons or prepaid credit cards to local people asking them to vote a certain way? That's cheaper than paying moving costs, rent, and finding jobs for all those people to come from another part of the country.
I added additional information to the rules clarifying what the 'gray area' clause was aimed at.
these are the same companies that were "shocked" by the snowden revelations. its not a question of "are these databases less secure than advertised, its a question of to what degree are they less secure than advertised. so i think calling the china access a conspiracy theory is too naive
Intel supports them depending on the processor.

SSE2 has native 128-bit math, AVX has 256-bit native integer math, and AVX-512 has 512-bit integer math.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVX-512

The Intel compiler supports these types.

FWIW, I'd say the most important characteristic of terrible programmers is their supreme unearned confidence!

Which is to say: Focus on getting better. The confidence is secondary.
Ok, let's compare.

To be: I am. You are. [S]he is. They/we are.

Etre: Je vais. Tu es. Il/Elle est. Nous sommes. Vous etes. Ils sont.

Ser: Yo soy. Tu eres. El[la] es. Nosotros somos.

Estar: Yo somos. Tu estas. El[la] esta. Nosotros estamos. Ellos estan.

I think that pretty well sums it up.
At least you can talk about it without being expelled by webhosts, communities, payment processors, etc
You even get invited to cool events with world leaders. Not a bad gig.

Imagine being one of those preoccupied with the collapse of white population worldwide and western civilization in general. Now, those guys really have a reason to be depressed, and if they look for mental health's help, most therapists would probably refer them to the police. If they talk about it, banks will ban them and so will web hosts and such stuff. They're marked and targeted, with harassment and violence, by the police and leftists thugs.

As long as you have a big community to support you, you can't complain that much, even if the world is gonna collapse. Because maybe humanity kinda deserves it.
Maybe it's a question of having time to get together with others.

In the unending war for attention, I feel like I've lost; and through being out of all the social loops, also lost the chances for joy I used to have.

I can't be the only one that feels like there's just not enough time to go around, even less so than there used to be. That it's impossible to get together with friends to do anything on the weekend. That the transaction cost of trying to overcome physical distance is rising. That seemingly everyone has something else they're investing time in.
yep, should use /i/ for subs instead of /r/ because the latter is, most of the time, associated with reddit.
As someone who recently worked in game dev I'm not sure why 32 bit was even a factor as 64 bit is likely your default target anyway - has been for awhile. So, killing 32 bit is not a real issue.

Notorizing can be seen as just another cost of targeting a platform. So do it. You will need at least one machine anyway to do basic testing on. So use that. Get the cheapest imac or whatever you require. So, mac hardware isn't a real issue.

I found the statistics a bit strange as well. Sales were 2% linux, 4% mac, 94% windows. Yet support was divided 30% linux, 50% mac and 20% windows. This suggests linux is more problematic per sale than mac. Yet he has no issue with linux. If this was me, I'd be wanting to know exactly why linux/mac was generating so many tickets. The answer will likely help the overall product.

Personally, you need to jump through so many hoops to release software that none of these thus far mentioned should be big enough to stop you. The real reasons should be: is there a demand in this target market; will that demand generate sufficient profit?

As I'm starting my own journey on this I see all the platforms and app stores have various issues. Everything has tradeoffs. The article's author needs to come up with better arguments. I just don't see his reasons as relevant in comparison to the other much larger costs associated with development.

I'd actually recommend targeting multiple platforms just to force bugs to come out. Different platforms / compilers see and expose different issues in your codebase. So far I'm quite happy to have cross platform support even when i don't necessarily release on those platforms yet.

I find art, sound and game assets are more expensive than an apple dev account or even a mac computer. Others have written in more detail on this. Even generic business costs exceed the subscription/computer costs he's stating as being barriers.
> Only learn something new when forced

This could be devastating, much more in little/medium company. I know of successful companies (I mean company with successful products ) with a C/C++ stack they considered "good enough" so they didn't change anything: the C++ standards, architecture, structures. Often that line of conduct was supported by a management looking any change or improvement as a cost. The result is always the same: a day they wake-up realizing that the "product" is a pile of crappy legacy code. I know some cases. One of those company was bought by a bigger company that asked to modify the stack to modern standards with disastrous results because the programmers wasn't skilled to port the code base to modern standards/architectures. In another case, the owners sold the entire division to another company, interested to the clients more than to the product and, after checking the status of the code base, the buyers hired a group of consultants that rewrote all in Java, with results that you can imagine.
It is an ideal hand on an ideal table.

You missed one of the most important parts about methane as well: The Sabatier Reaction [1]

Hydrogen + CO2 => Methane + Water

This is an extremely important reaction. Mars, for instance, has effectively unlimited Hydrogen and CO2 which also means effectively unlimited Methane and Water. How just absurdly convenient is that?

But it also plays a major role in things like life support. We breathe out CO2. On Earth where we have an enormous atmosphere this doesn't matter. But in closed systems, such as the ISS or what will be the habitation regions on Mars, this is a major issue that needs to be dealt with or we'd kill ourselves with our own exhaust.

NASA, on the ISS, used to deal with life support by producing oxygen from imported water, and discarding the produced hydrogen. They'd then collect exhaled CO2 from the air using CO2 scrubbers and also discard that. That was a pretty inefficient system that required large amounts of imported water to sustain. Now they use the Sabatier Reaction to convert the exhaled CO2 into water and methane. Only the methane is discarded. And as a result of this, instead of needing to import large amounts of water, now all they need to import is a small amount of hydrogen to keep the reaction running.

On Mars this will result in a really cool system. What will be an increasingly large scale life support system will be literally creating rocket fuel as a byproduct. Of course methane is also a controlled and efficient gas, so it can also be safely used for things like cooking dinner.

> WhatsApp used to use Erlang, not anymore. Facebook rewrote it completely in C++.

Highly doubt it. Here is Maxim Fedorov talking about scaling their cluster to 10000 nodes in 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJQyv26tFZ8 it would be pretty ridiculous for them to completely rewrite that in C++ one year later.
Also, there was only ever one set of macs released in 2006 which had a 32-bit Intel processor, as the transition to 64-bit happened only a year after the Intel transition. We're not merely long past the point where you have no excuse for not supporting 64-bit; we're long past where it made any sense to support 32-bit. Even in 2010 if you started a port to macOS and decided to target 32-bit you would be making a bad decision.

That's only an issue if you get applications only after ads.
I’m surprised that I haven’t seen much reported about the Office of Legal Counsel’s memo ( https://www.justice.gov/olc/page/file/1205151/download ). They claimed that the complaint didn’t qualify under the specific whistleblower law in question because the conduct wasn’t related to an ongoing intelligence operation.

So, yes, both the inspector general and the director of national intelligence said they believed the complaint was believable. But OLC claimed that both ICIG and DNI overlooked another important requirement: that the conduct be relevant as far as the whistleblower law is concerned.

In the end, the complaint and call record were released to the public, so it’s a moot point, but the issue bubbled up because the justice department initially refused to hand it over to the relevant congressional committees because they said the complaint didn’t qualify for the whistleblower law.
I've never got a job in response to an ad either. Have you? Do you personally know anyone who has?

Another issue, with workplace politics and edicts being what they are, wouldn't white men be a better category of applicants to exclude via such targeting? I'm pretty sure this is happening as we speak. I don't view this as a problem, though, for the reason alluded to above: approximately nobody in tech lands jobs in response to ads.

> What ambiguities are present in the APL function?

For instance:

∇⍵-2

is that ∇(⍵-2) or (∇⍵)-2?

If something similar to ∇⍵-2 appears but with another symbol in place of ∇, does it parse the same way?

(I'm not even certain that the ∇⍵-2 excerpt is a syntactic sub-unit that is valid on its own.)
I'm glad you care about these things, but to say those are the only two reasons why we have trouble correctly matching people to fulfilling jobs is asinine.
You didn't state your circumstances but in my limited experience I rarely meet happy people that don't have a sitaution for happiness. They have a loving partner and/or loving friends and family around and/or a fulfilling job. VS say myself which hasn't had a lover in > 16 years, no family within 7000 miles, and no hangout friends, only a few friends I see once every 1 to 2 months. In my 50s also makes it hard to find peers to make these things from vs say if I was 20 in college it's trival (or at least much easier) to find people to hang with who have time to hang out, to being around the same often enough that mutual attraction develops into lovers, etc...

If it's not clear what I'm saying I'm saying that just writing in a journal everyday and someone will be happy is not enough to make someone happy. They do actually need love and friends and physical contact and purpose.
You need to develop a healthy dose of apathy. You're a cog in a machine and there are many things beyond your individual control from climate changes work projects heading for a cliff to your sports team winning the wooden spoon. The best you can probably do is try your best and learn to laugh at the situation.

Just don't get too apathetic, there are things you can do to help like voting and creating less waste.
> If anything, the last decade has taught us the immutability of this law.

Or equally likely-- there are a tiny fraction of bona fide users who act moderately anti-social on the net when granted anonymity, just as they would in real life.

It's just that forums with no little to no publishing friction allow those people to do 100x damage compared to what they could get away with in real life.

Add to that:

* corporate-sponsored trolls doing 1000x damage compared to real life

* nation-state trolls doing 10000x damage compared to real life

That's how you get that inimitable Reddit charm of watching an entire thread on geopolitics seem to change its hive mind as the mods manually strip out all the astroturf over the course of an hour.

Why do you think the operation of a complex decentralized economic system would be improved for workers if it operated according to some rules that you think are fair?
$15k to move to a different state (especially given job prospects are not great in places where that can go far) are not so great.

Inversely that could pay for a couple of months of a staffer on the ground going around and trying to convince locals to change their vote. That feels like it could go a bit further than the 1 vote the $15k buys.
At one point the Go FAQ said that Go got its name because “Ogle” would be a good name for a Go debugger [1]. This was removed from the FAQ as a "non-answer" in 2015 [2]. I suspect the real reason is that it was a slightly risque joke...

Of course the Go keyword go is a constant reminder of Go's strong support for concurrency. (Note too the goroutine/coroutine pun.) It would be interesting to know which came first, the keyword or the name.

You are correct that the “transcript” is not a verbatim transcript. However, according to Reuters, it’s likely all that exists at this point ( https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-whistleblower-t... ):

“[S]tandard practice when a president is talking to a foreign leader is not to make a recording but to have at least two and sometimes more note-takers from the National Security Council (NSC) on the call, a former senior NSC official told Reuters. ...

“Their notes serve as the principal record of such calls, the former official said. He was not aware of any electronic recordings made by the U.S. government on calls between Trump and other world leaders.

“Evelyn Farkas, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense during the Obama presidency, said not only would any so-called transcript be based on notes, but it would also likely be incomplete because the note-takers usually do not include issues that could be controversial if they became public. ...

“A former White House senior official concurred there was unlikely to be a recording.

“‘There’s no physical recording but there are a lot of people listening and taking contemporaneous notes of these calls,’ the official said. ‘When you read it, it looks almost like a transcript.’”

YAGNI => 95% of the shit I add is ignored (and I've got fairly objective proof that I can develop good projects)

It is reasonable to think that the story is likely bullshit. It is not, IMO, reasonable to go from that to claiming that it has ruined the credibility of the reporting organization and that you should presume all stories from them are likely false. To come to that conclusion, I believe you need some proof that the reporting was incorrect, not a lack of proof that the story was correct.

When we are talking about national security, the consequences of sources being identified are so high that it is not surprising that Bloomberg is unwilling to provide primary sources.
The "Avoid Learning Anything New" advice is insane. (Well, practically all of it is, but that one really stands out).

I think the exact opposite advice is far better: never assume the way you know how to do something is best, and always be on the lookout for what others are doing that might be better.

Here's the thing about learning: the more you learn, the easier learning the next thing becomes. You form links, insights on relationships, new concepts that apply to old things, etc. If this guy thinks learning is such a burden, it's probably because he refuses to learn anything in the first place.

If he thinks he's a poor programmer, it probably has less to do with innate ability and 100% to do with the attitudes he gives as "advice" in this blog.
