We have to move the Web from a feudal society to a free market. To do that we need a some platforms and micropayments systems that work across borders to unify identity, social networking and commerce. Otherwise Facebook, Amazon et al will do it!

Here are some ideas:
https://qbix.com/token

Note: the token described there is optional to the system, but without a native micropayment system we have to bolt on various payment solutions like Patreon or live with ad-supported platforms. The original Xanadu vision was hypermedia with micropayments.

I wanted to mention an interesting bit of engineering outside the pure programming space. It is not enough to design the web-based payment system, but we must take regulations into account as well. In order not to be encumbered with securities laws, the token must be designed in such a way that no one rational would purchase it for speculative purposes. In Switzerland, there is a FINMA legal framework for classifying tokens as securities or not. In the US, this is achieved by fitting within no-action letters of the SEC:

In short, a lot goes into a system like this, and it has to be in place to allow a free market by small entities able to compete with feudal lords. (Open source is a free market with a huge gift economy, ie many things are produced without a profit motive.)

Remember AOL, CompuServe, MSN? That was a Feudal society. You had to have AOL keyword Facebook, Amazon etc. The Web browser and HTTP invented by Tim Berners-Lee is what disrupted those centralized networks so you could simply use DNS and build on your own domain. Now you could have Facebook.com, Amazon.com and that is how they were even able to get their start. Do you think AOL would have allowed “keyword GMail” as an alternative email?
iOS 13 was released exactly 9 weeks ago. There have been 8 public releases so far (13.0, 13.1, 13.1.1, 13.1.2, 13.1.3, 13.2, 13.2.2, and 13.2.3), not counting the 13.2.1 update that stopped 13.2 from bricking HomePods.

Pretty sure this equivalence was more or less the first sentence in the regex tutorial I read during high school...
This is true for me, i'm unlikely to have learnt about this unless it particularly interested me.
I live in a medium sized city in Wisconsin (~100k population) and my costs are:

- $850 for rent for a 2 bedroom 1200sqft apartment

- ~$70 for utilities (i have free heat so it's less in the winter and more in the summer)

and if i still had the car i previously had, my only expense would be gas (~$100/mo) and the minor maintenance it needed, which was less than $1000/yr (i tracked everything each year i had it). I bought a newer car recently and am financing it. I pay $350/mo on it and gas is closer to $200/mo for it but that's still well within the over $1000 difference in living costs.

I think you vastly understate just how insane $2100/mo for rent is, and overstate how much it costs to own a car. If $1k a month in savings isn't enough to own/maintain a car and that's a problem for you, you need a car that doesn't cost over $1k a month to own.
> Surely the whole point of good system design is a set of logical abstractions, where you need to understand the logical model and not the internal details

In my opinion an important part of being a good programmer is understanding - at least at a broad level - how the set of abstractions you're working on top of work.

At the end of the day, our job is making computer hardware operate on data in memory. The more that we forget that, and think about computing as some abstract endeavor performed in Plato's heaven, the more tendency we have for bloat and inefficiency to creep into our various abstractions.

In other words, I think it's better to think about abstractions as a tool for interacting with hardware, not as something to save us from dealing with hardware.

You either change your mindset or stay alone forever. There is no other option. Unless you are a suave lone wolf in which case you could also be fine, but it seems like you are focused on the negative things that happened to you while you should really be improving yourself.
To my knowledge the "default" editor has changed ~3 times in the past 5 years (fbide, atom, vscode) - and yet I've been using vim this whole time with no problems, and never had anybody suggest that I stop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The funny thing is that he identifies the nature of his problem -- that he does not value sociability enough to partake in regular social activity, but instead of admitting that his actualised priorities create a challenge for him, criticises the culture.

To me, this seems like someone who never trains complaining that they always fail to run marathons, and it's the fault of the steroid abuser.

Thank you for writing a scenario and how it relates to coherency mechanisms.

So now we get to thinking about whether this gives the developer an advantage over just knowing "Dirtying cache lines across different cores/threads is slow". I don't think I would conclude so here.

But yeah I like reading details about microarchitectural details and other computer architecture topics, and am symphatetic to the point of view that knowing the "why" is nice. Just like I find it interesting to read about how DOM APIs are implemented in browsers and why they are hard to make faster...
I'm on 13.2.3 and a lot of the worst things seem to be fixed. That said, I still find some of the design changes odd and unintuitive (e.g. new editing gestures, new Music/Mail layouts). Mail is still infuriatingly slow at almost everything. I think you could probably call it stable (for my usage).

Note that there were also some... "interesting" iCloud sync design choices. You need to upgrade all devices (including macOS) to be sure of proper syncing in some cases, with odd behaviour ensuing if you don't.
Philanthropy on that level is generally done to protect one's wealth from taxation, and has little to do with moral compassing, empathy, or generosity.
Pretty much my first impression: in my experience dating apps tend to yield only ONSs at best but meeting people who I share an hobby with tends to make for significantly longer-lasting relationships.

> if I don’t get an extremely clear indication of interest, I try not to show any myself.

Plus this is just flat-out wrong: People can't read your mind, if you're interested make it known; it's not even weird, it's how society expects you to behave.

Csmith – Find and understand C compiler bugs
I absolutely despise these hero worship type headlines, even if the individual made an important contribution. I realize headlines are written by editors (not by the author) so I don't blame the writer (the article is well written) but such headlines contribute to the already awful cult of celebrity worship and CEO salary inflation which doesn't need any more fuel.

Headlines like these are the equivalent of scientific papers with no citations, no coauthors, no acknowledgements - as if the author was solely responsible for creating all the value merely by thinking in the aether. These types of scientific papers don't exist outside crank pot science for good reason - they are ludicrous. Just like this headline.

Not that I am an expert, but like (I assume) most people I put in my time in the dating mines.

And this is my observation about people who have this complaint: the vast majority of couples are aesthetically matched. You might be hoping for a certain aesthetic. You have to match that. The easiest way to do this is to start eating healthy and working out. By working out, I don't mean an occasional job, but the heavy stuff: lifting, crossfit etc. It goes without saying you should not injure yourself.

This small "trick" -- working out -- will have a dramatic effect on your dating life.

>Sprints are just the classic computer science "divide and conquer" strategy applied to development.

The classic computer science "divide and conquer" (quicksort being a canonical example) has no state to carry over from one divided part to the next.

Divided parts should also be interchangeable -- whereas in sprints they aren't -- they're different stages of a release/feature, with different stuff to be done in each.

Finally, sprint is a total misnomer for "divide and conquer" -- as its very definition is about giving it all for a short time from start to end (a small race). It's not about dividing parts of a larger race.

Mark Hume McCormack.

There is no one else to read when it comes to market entry. He invented an entire industry.
He moved from sector to sector with ease. At a very high level:

He started sports representation with golf; then moved into tennis; moved into other individual sports & high visibility figure representation (sumo anyone?); then team sports; expanded onto designing the event venues (golf courses, car races); added marketing and advertising at these events. And he was not done there. Now he had the players, the fields, so he expanded to training in sports academies, and all along the way he took pictures, and videos of the events and sport figures for resale. Most of historical sport video footage was his. I have not even scratched the service of what he has done with his perseverance and ability to pivot.

2003 sucked for me.
Thanks! I don't write very often, since I don't really know if people get anything out of it, but feedback like this is definitely encouraging :)
Slack is more CYA than a store of knowledge. Yes, it's really great for pointing fingers: you can literally link to a specific message, saying "here, this dude made the call".
That's a good point, which is actually why I listed Nashville and Raleigh. Actually, Boulder would be pretty damn cool but without checking, I think it's essentially a high COL place by now.
I think I learned this because of the pumping lemma for regular languages. In the FSM picture, it becomes totally obvious: every sufficiently long path in a finite graph contains a loop.
I read most of the post (unlike others in here) and his issue is distinct from that of many others on dating apps (or at least it is according to his self-reported behavior).

it is probably not relatable to most here (because he's bending over backwards to be egalitarian and most on here lean the other way) so I'll just respond in case he ends up reading this.

I share many of your concerns and sensitivities around feminism and autonomy. despite being arguably just as sensitive as you are (according to feedback from former partners) I do well on apps and in dating. how? I'm assertive and aggressive but I get explicit consent at every escalation. And if you think I'm exaggerating I am not. Evey escalation. now obviously I'm not tactless - I do not have multi form contracts that I ask for signatures on. I simply check in and we have a short, always interesting, conversation about boundaries and trajectory and all that. most of the time everything goes as expected but I have been rejected (which is also how I'm sure the way I'm doing it is working - because when feel free to say no).

it works very well. I have deep meaningful dates (that turn into relationships often).

aside from that I'll say, from the photos of you online, you're not doing yourself any favors. I think I could help you but I don't know you personally. I have toyed with the idea of starting a consulting service that taught men how to present themselves such that they're attractive.
> Sounds like this dude is insufferable and exhausting and probably presents himself as such on his dating profile.

In my experience, people making these kinds of statements often haven't any sense of humility, compassion or empathy, so it is likely you cannot understand even why he would make his post.

Further, this same personality trait also seems lead to online ridicule of people trying to share their experiences online.

> Edit: Before you start writing a treatise on the socio-economics of contemporary market-based internet dating in the age of diverstity.. just try the following:

1. Put up a crisp, clear picture of yourself dressed nicely with a smile. Put up a second clear picture of you doing some kind of interesting activity (hiking in the wilderness, doing art, playing with a puppy, etc).

2. Write a self-description that gives off vibes of you being a generally positive person, and relatively charming and perhaps a bit funny. If you can't be charming, you can at least be polite. If you're not funny, you can at least be lighthearted.

Edit: It is also consistent with this personality trait to assume that your advice is desired, and to then provide that advice.
It is as simple as you ask a woman out who you are interested in. If she ignores you or says no, you move on. If she keeps saying yes to your date invitations it means she likes you. Avoiding or being scared of making the first move is very unattractive and shows extreme lack of confidence and confidence is the most attractive trait.
Seems like he lacks basic social skills and expects women to date him because he owns his own house. He feels guilty and "like a monster" hitting on or asking women out because of this thought process. He himself said he had been successful in the past -- why not continue that and make yourself happy?

The idea of the separation of Church and State is a long standing and well-established tradition. We dont expect much interference in this case. Not so for if a similar thing is applied to local press vis a vis the govt. Interference is virtually guaranteed given the nature of politics. In any case, tax breaks for local media would be insufficient to solve their revenue problems.

> If people are willing to line up and wait for their brunch, it must be good, right?

That, itself, tells you about the local culture.

A culture that responds positively to a line out of the door puts a lot of value on trendiness. This is (much of) San Francisco. (It's not true across the Bay Area.)

A culture that responds neutrally or negatively to a line out of the door either responds less aggressively to trend pressure and/or has fewer supply-side restrictions. This is New York. A line out of the door in New York tells me it's a new place that's still getting its act together, there's an event there that night, they're filming or it's a shitshow.
Object Security for Constrained RESTful Environments (Oscore)
Yeah, the "blindness" to sounds that don't exist in your native language is funny, and usually the best way to figure out where a non-native speaker is from. If you can't even hear the difference between "sheep" and "cheap", or "joke" and "yoke", you have no way of pronouncing it right in the first place!

Likewise, I can identify English with a Danish accent pretty quickly, but I can't for the love of me speak it, because I'm not good enough at Danish. But a dead giveaway is that Danish realizes 'R' as [ʁ], and many Danes pronounce it the same way when speaking English. :-P And there's something with the vowels that's just weird that Danish people do... I can't put my finger on it.

(I have the opposite problem, I can't make that 'R' sound at all, which is why my Danish sounds pretty funny to native Danes.)

By that measure, China emits about twice what the US does, 0.6 vs 0.3. However China has done about twice as well as the US has in reducing this number, which is why China is on track to meeting their Paris commitments and the US isn't.

I know there's a stigma to being anti-psychedelia. But how are we so certain that we aren't causing irreversible harm to these people psyches? The phenomena these people are having can be equated with full blown religious experiences at least according to the anecdotal of what they experience. Whether they be pure ecstasy or rummaging through the depths of hell.

But we all have our own internal language which really express what we experienced. What we express to others is not the truth of the experience. I understand people can function in society. It's not difficult to function in society to at least pass by unnoticed. Even in the face of ultimate authority, we will not express the complete truth. Unless these authorities are aware of some way of seeing it all, how do we know these people aren't affected by this in a serious way? I just don't know how people can go through these experiences and not be affected.

Thinking they are gods while under the influence, seeing the true nature of it all, and yet go back into traffic the next day. How can these two things coexist.

What constitutes an "obvious lie"?

If China says the majority of Hong Kong support immediate reunification, backed by a statement from the Hong Kong government, is that an "obvious lie"? It comes from what is considered to be an authoritative source of truth.

If Google can overrule a government's statement, by disagreeing with China, does that mean they can overrule the official statement of any government?

That gives them the power, and incentive, to approve some statements that come from the White House, and not others that might damage their own reputation.

Or rather, knowing Google, approval of these goes through a machine, with unknown bias, and suddenly Google is only approving right-wing messages. All Democrat messages get disapproved. Or vice versa.

It places Google in position as the ultimate source of truth, without giving them the responsibility that comes with that.

Well, you are not supposed to know all of them by heart. just start by what you need and know what other technologies that exist so you can learn them when the need arises. for me, I think I know or have a vague idea about most of the concepts mentioned in Frontend and Backend. But DevOps sections seems intimidating to me. People in other fields might feel the same way about Frontend or Backend Development. The thing is, just like any craft, it requires time and practice.
