Those copy-paste texts are memes in the original sense. Oddly enough, I first read the term in Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" before I was aware of the origin.

The concept of a meme is a unit of information or idea, akin to a gene in living organisms. Successful memes are good at spreading and being replicated. Much like with genes, they alter over time and can become better at being picked up and spread further.

It's more a way of looking at the spread of ideas than an actual "thing" but it encompasses everything from lolcats to recipes to economic theories to religions. A successful idea is one that inherently makes people want to share it.

They don't own the runtime and package manager, though.

Although Wasmer does come with a package manager (WAPM) that uses a proprietary registry like NPM, at least the developers have said they're committed to decentralized hosting[0]. Maybe someone can come up with a completely distributed package management alternative, which I would prefer, but at least Webassembly isn't yet at the degree of centralization that Javascript is.

In fact Elixir and Erlang are the only reasonably known dynamic languages that differentiate on concurrency. The rest either do higher order event loop concurrency, which is ok, but not a differentiator, or do worse, shared memory multithreading (threads, coroutines with synchronous channels, mutexes, etc.)

> Are SaaS businesses really customizing for high paying customers? They may build new features which are then made available to other businesses but I would be surprised if there are separate source trees.

They are often using the same source tree and instance, but are enabling feature flags for certain customers. This often extends beyond code to data and caching. These don't get maintained and are a pain for support, as well as developers/operations. Over time they are almost as bad as a separate source tree.
Yeah, we ran a minor upgrade to our cluster earlier this week and it knocked out the entire cluster for over two hours, and we were getting AWS specific errors regarding hostname headers that we've never gotten before. I managed to get a developer advocate on twitter to lend us a hand, but if I had actually waited on support things would likely still be down.

Unfortunately that seems more like a trend with AWS- there are a lot of new services that feel like they're 80% ready for production, but which are being sold as complete solutoins.

I'm not sure I agree. You can reference arbitrary, versioned out of tree deps via WORKSPACE file. You can pull from git at tag or revision, you can pull from cloud storage, maven, pypi, etc. Just about any realistic scenario is supported, and those that aren't yet are easily scriptable using a restricted python-like extension language.

This doesn't strike me as correct.

The plane was traveling fast enough that the strain on the air control surfaces meant pilots weren't able to manually trim the plane back into alignment.

The only way to overcome those forces was to use the electronic motors to adjust the alignment of the rear stabilizer trim. However, those motors also are disabled with the stab trim cutoff switches.

After the fact simulations confirmed that such forces could well have prevented manual control.

Exactly. Ownership/lifetimes exist in almost every mainstream PL (anywhere where you can have any sort of references + mutability). It's just people pretend it doesn't, and hope everything is going to be fine. And when you bring it in front of their consciousness they scream in panic, like it didn't exist before. Once you internalize Rust ownership rules, they are almost effortless and you see and obey them in any code in any PL you happen to be programming in.
How would that help? It sounds like the OP wants to code and deliver a product.

Put in English, the type of an unbuffered channel is "a channel that always blocks on writing until the value has been read". The type of a buffered channel is "a channel that doesn't block when written to, until it is full in which case it blocks on writing until some other value has been read by some other unrelated goroutine".

The former is a reasonable concurrency primitive. The latter superficially seems similar, but is actually a much more complicated primitive, with the corresponding code understanding problems and the increased likelihood of more concurrency problems being hidden at low scale but coming out at scale (mostly deadlocks), plus the fact it seems similar is also problematic. The fact that the Go type system does not allow distinguishing between the two is also problematic.

It has some special-case purposes, but I also always scrutinize any channel created with buffering to make sure it is one of those special cases.

Buffered channels have not impressed me with their ability to do any sort of performance improvements. In almost all cases, if you've filled up your readers, you really want your writer to block. It provides cheap, effective backpressure; arguably for software-at-scale it's the most useful aspect of the channel primitive.
> You can assume your dats is safe here in the US, because it’s protected by the laws.

Not grandparent, but to me, Perl's niche is short log-processing scripts (like, 200 lines or fewer). Once it looks like it will either need an input other than a text file or grow to a significant length, I tend to rewrite in something else.

>> I don't understand how invading another country's territory is accepted in 2019. On the other side.

What is special about 2019 ? Borders move, countries expand and contract. New countries form, old countries disappear. Happens all the time.

The areas that are being occupied by Turkey have been under ottaman rule since 1500s to WW-I, and only the last 100 years or so they were not! Countries like Syria, Iraq etc have borders that were drawn on maps by people who did not live there. So, long story short expect many countries in Middle East to reconfigure their borders, new autonomous regions spurt and old regions disappear.

Border changes happened all the time but the two world wars and the subsequent world order and bloc politics have frozen these changes. Now that post-war order is slowly crumbling so are the dynamics in various parts of the world.

To add to sibling's point, many drag-drop libraries work great on a bare demo website with nothing else to worry about.

Once you start trying to add it to your frontend with other complex features already there, you're back having to reason about the core of drag-and-drop and essentially solving it yourself to parse the library's code. In my experience I've had to modify library code to handle my requirements most of the time because it did not play well in a complex environment.

One thing I'm not following is a few remarks that they don't do usability testing because it is subjective and thus a lawsuit magnet.

We're talking about universities that, as part of their mission, have psychology departments run studies that must conform to ethical guidelines.

Couldn't they evaluate the usability of candidate products by coming up with a list of tasks that a small sample of students and professors must complete, and rate how difficult they are? Take the mean weighted by how critical the features are there's a reasonably objective usability score.

There's still a subjective element, but it can be mitigated by selecting participants at random and having them disclose any potential conflict of interest.

I realize this is no small undertaking, but it's part of their core operational model, so it doesn't seem unrealistic.

Genuinely interesting, a thread where people complain about a language and they are so careless with the language they use to try and get their point across...
I can say that at least currently, there is no appetite for Perl attempting to "reclaim" the Perl 6 version in the foreseeable future. It would be a disaster in both community relations and marketing. It will either be Perl 7 or Perl 34+.
Its runtime is quite a bit faster and enjoys a smaller memory footprint. It is also more amenable to "bash on steroids" scripting, and has a quarter-million canned solutions in CPAN.

PyPi has caught up with CPAN in terms of sheer number of packages, but there are still a lot of differences in what those packages cover. You might find solutions in CPAN without a counterpart in PyPi.

More narrowly, every time I deal with databases in python, I find myself missing perl's DBI, which provides the same API for all databases with a corresponding DBD. Python should get a similar universal database interface someday.
I find programming perl fun inversely to program size and proportionally to the need to slice and dice text. I didn't learn perl until the perl 5 era, but from what I can tell, I would've been as satisfied with perl 4, before they bolted on OO and tried to expand the applicable problem domain of the language. I mostly just use it as a super-charged awk and bash replacement for scripting.
This is exactly the type of linguistic naming shenanigans I'd expect from the Perl community.

Similar experience, had 15ish years of a terrible relationship with sleep starting when high school started, with a side order of seasonal depression. I blame a combination of:

1) puberty,

2) putting the long break in Summer rather than Winter plus a very early start time with the result that for several months I'd only see the Sun for at most 2.5 hours in the afternoon (walked into the building with the stars still out),

3) a homework load + butt-in-seat time that had more of my hours spoken for than I even came close to reaching again until I had multiple young kids of my own plus a full time job, plus the conditions being a hell of a lot closer to prison than to either college or working adult life (college was harder in some ways, of course, but less time consuming and way less stressful, I found, thanks to the much lower in-class time per week and more flexibility scheduling homework/study time, and consequently felt like a vacation after four years of high school),

4) glowing screens and the opportunity to reclaim some time for myself late at night with highly-engaging entertainment (by which I mean video games and screwing around on computers, the latter of which actually ended up being the most valuable thing I did in high school bar none, admittedly)

Oh and there's a good chance, according to current research, that the whole Winter-is-school-time thing plus younger grades not getting us outside enough in those low-sunlight-per-day months was a major contributor to my being nearsighted by 7th grade. IOW K-12 school broke me both physically and psychologically for no good reason, with consequences lasting between a two-digit count of years and a lifetime, and I had it pretty easy, relatively speaking.
I think there is a lot of misinformation in your post.

The pilots didn't follow the airspeed unreliable procedure, and oversped the aircraft. Maybe it's the best they could do, but definitely not what they were expected (and trained) to do.

Electric trim is not turned off "when the yoke is pulled" - it's momentarily turned off when electric trim thumb switches on the yoke are pressed.

And they switched it back on because they couldn't manually re-trim due to very high speed that the plane was travelling at that point.

BTW the airplane was a 737 Max, not 737-NG.
