Linux is the kernel, so really the equivalent on Windows is the Windows kernel API, not the Win32 (user) API.

However, the kernel API seems to be somewhat similar to the Win32 version presented in the talk and not nearly as gnarly as the Linux equivalent:

That said I'm just an application programmer so I've only ever used the Win32 API.

I would argue that failure to adequately address the power of the wealth-income feedback loop is the West's biggest economic mistake, and that this is at the root cause of rising housing costs. Housing is consuming a bigger and bigger share of median income because growth in housing is not keeping up with growth in income of the top tiers of the population, who can afford to pay disproportionately more than the median, and the trend is accelerating. While it's true that increasing supply would help relieve some of the pressure, it would have to skyrocket to keep up with the meteoric rise in income of the top 10% of the population. All the well-meaning housing policy in the world can never speed up supply fast enough to keep up with the rate at which the wealthy are giving themselves raises.
Even if Sonos went belly up you’d still have airplay and tv/line in, along with direct control from stuff like Spotify (until Spotify inevitably change their protocols). But I don’t see airplay ever quitting until the hardware does
This company has too much power to fake and manipulate things in different ways. It’s just a matter of time for false positives that crush the already vulnerable people. The level of abuse people can (and will) be subjected to is going to be horrendous.

Without regulations, laws and audits, everyone is screwed. Oh yeah, even law enforcement is screwed if/when it blindly believes in these systems and considers them fool proof and beyond suspicion.

From Wikipedia:

Komidashi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komidashi

"Komi in the game of Go are points added to the score of the player with the white stones as compensation for playing second. Black's first move advantage is generally considered to equal somewhere between 5 and 7 points by the end of the game. Standard komi is 6.5 points under the Japanese and Korean rules; under Chinese, Ing and AGA rules standard komi is 7.5 points. Komi typically applies only to games where both players are evenly ranked. In the case of a one-rank difference, the stronger player will typically play with the white stones and players often agree on a simple 0.5 point komi to break a tie in favour of white."
True. There are the rare cases where you are the first to hit the ground and essentially create the market.

Funny, when I was there I didn’t notice that Switzerland is still run as a feudal lordship, but in hindsight the screams from the building labeled ‘Debtor’s prison” should have been a clue.

In all seriousness, what are you implying? That buying houses built by the rich and then being tied to it in a downturn or loss of employment is superior?

The period you’re hilariously referring to died out when the Lords could no longer afford to maintain their land as their incomes dried up and their workers moved on.
Even that's not really the whole picture. Sure, a road, completely standalone, can cost similarly between a 1k skyscraper and a suburban house.

But the road in front of a 1k skyscraper alone will never be enough to transport those people, unless you bump it's price up (make it wide, tack on a parking garage, etc). To prevent that, you'll need something extra (Subway, LRT, a bus line), and that cost will immediately be way higher per-person than the suburban road ever would be.

This is something urbanists / StrongTowns types routinely misunderstand. Roads aren't cheap, but they are almost always the cheapest form of public transportation possible in nearly every situation. (Yes, even in total cost of ownership. Yes, even when including the public funding in their cost. And yes, even when including personal vehicle costs).

The minute you put even the lightest form of alternative public transit on that road, the cost spikes exponentially. Even the cost to run just a basic busline, with a driver on a timetable, costs more in one year than the entire construction + maintenance budget of that road will cost over 6+ years.

(This is not an argument against alt. public transit. I support alt public transit. We should have more trains, subways, and buses, everywhere. It just isn't cheap -- it would require us to spend way more per rider on transit than we are used to, which is why most places are built with public roads only -- it's the absolute cheapest TCO option in nearly every situation)
Thanks, so I would also need to use zigbee switches everywhere and use zigbee to turn the lights on and off? Are there any good websites that review zigbee switches to find which ones are decent...

Europe is actually better in this regard because of grid connections between the countries. So lack of wind could be compensated by imports from Spain or Germany, for example.

Germany and Norway also currently work on a project for a direct connection between their respective grids, called NordLink.

That was fun. My favorite two questions are:

Is go played anywhere else in the universe, and was it discovered by chance there?
What openings do aliens play?

Our Universe is a huge place. I think it was Nature Magazine that had an article estimating 20,000 worlds with earth like conditions and life. My formal education is in physics and personally I subscribe to the multiverse hypothesis so with a potential infinite number of universes these questions have meaning.

My older brother taught me to play Go when I was eight and I played actively in the 1970s. Two years ago, on a whim, I decided to go to the US Go Open. I drastically overestimated my own rating when registering, played too strong of players and lost every game. A good lesson in humility and I made some friends. To lick my battle wounds, I paid a South Korean Go professional for lessons for three months and I feel like that really helped my game.
Isn't maintenance what IoTZombieCo would be contractually obligated to do, though?

Here in the UK new homes often have a 10 year warranty from a third-party insurer, who gets to dictate construction methods to the builder. So the idea of products coming with third-party warranties isn't unprecedented.

I wouldn't count on it. In terms of their IT infrastructure, they've got more than one datacenter geographically distributed so they're prepared for it. I don't think companies are really good about planning around events that don't happen regularly. Especially one as amorphous as "the big one" in a place that isn't California.
DigitalOcean isn't obligated to store your data free of charge, which is what you're suggesting.
You're forgetting that consumer products companies want customers to buy new products, not keep using old ones indefinitely. It's in their financial interest to deliberately EOL older products with no recourse for customers so long as the average customer doesn't wise up enough to shy away from the brand entirely. This is really digital planned obsolescence.

A better company would be one funded by donations that reverse engineers protocols for these things and provides an open server to keep them alive, similar to what the Pebble community did.

The wartime censorship was short-term and its only lasting impact was to give this particular influenza strain its name (Spain was neutral so did not have the same strict censorship, so they actually reported flu deaths and people heard about it first through these reports -- therefore the flu must have come from Spain they thought...)
The problem is that Chatistics needs to establish who you are ("you" as in "the person whose chat logs were exported") before it can parse anything.

This is because for fields such as `conversationWithName`, it needs to know which of the parties is "you" vs who is an interlocutor.

In general, this is easy enough to figure out: look at multiple conversations, and find out who is always part of them. However if you export a single discussion, then this can't be inferred!

In that situation as eecom pointed out (and as indicated by the script output) you need to specify your username using the `--own-name` argument, using the precise same name that appears in your WhatsApp account.
> or: "teaching of BASIC should be rated as a criminal offence: it mutilates the mind beyond recovery."

> Dijkstra is one of the ancient saints of computing, so people read this as gospel.

Can confirm. Learned BASIC (a very limited subset) at age 7. GOTO was the second concept I learned after PRINT. Have not stopped using either and kinda wish Python had a goto (except that I've worked through what that would actually entail; not worth it). Strict adherence to Dijkstra's hobgoblins is considered harmful.
OpenGL ES will need to be supported in some form for a long time to come because of WebGL, and perhaps existing Android and iOS games (depends how willing Google and Apple are to break backwards compatibility…). If not through native driver support, through ANGLE.
There's value in collaboratively discussing half-baked ideas in public before any real applications have been produced.

I'm just playing with it on desktop (including the breakpoints) and agree that the UI feels thoughtful.

I noticed a handful of small things to pick on (and if I'm good I'll go file issues...), but I like the broad strokes--particularly its use of space (at all sizes). I also see a lot of small+thoughtful UI/X features and decisions.

I give it a bonus point too for being written in Java on my personal, biased, scoring.

Gitlab is a nice product and the open governance is interesting, but I prefer to minimize the time invested in ruby/ror based applications.

Regarding me, it's either Python or Java, because of the support and R&D put into these. Plus it's easier to reuse parts of Java/Python projects in other projects (as they are often written in Java or Python too).
I grab them from Reddit, there's subs for everything and it's all human curated so (generally) high quality.

It had some interesting points, but also some weird detours.

One of his core points revolve around hanging on to the way things were, and how that often ends up poorly.

Though I got this feeling that really, it's that often it's just really difficult to come up with good abstractions. Abstractions is after all what allows us to be so productive with our hardware.

For example, Electron and similar is abstracting away the operating system, which makes sense because for a lot of programs the specifics of the operating system doesn't really matter. However JavaScript and HTML can hardly be described as the best way of obtaining that abstraction.

> Critical and technical literature needs to be held to a standard.

That's a sloppy statement. You haven't defined what standard. Clearly, everything is held to "a standard"; making that an entirely empty claim.

> When the rhetor introduces errors in the artifact, the rhetor's ethos with the audience is diminished.

A "rhetor" is a teacher of rhetoric. This is not the correct word in this case. In this case, the correct word is the more general "author", since the post was not teaching rhetoric. Further, the entire point of "ethos" in rhetoric is that we shouldn't be so lazy as to allow minor issues cloud our judgement.

> The more fundamental the error (getting a basic equation wrong I guess?) the more trust you lose with a knowledgeable audience.

Quite the opposite. A knowledgeable audience can decide whether to trust something based on the actual content, rather than minor surface issues. Only a lazy or uninformed audience need get distracted by typos.
That implies that they think and behave like us.
>the request for consent shall be presented in a manner which is clearly distinguishable from the other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. [1]

On which part of the law do you base your first paragraph? The text that fits for me is all about the consent, not the rejection. It must be easy to understand to which a person consents, but the rejection can be difficult.

There is also:

>When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract.

Services have to point out that consent is not necessary. If that's usual not done, then this abuse can be ended by notifying the EU. I thus assume that most services offer that notice. Then it is very difficult to argue in court that a user still believed that they didn't mean to give consent. People have to argue for their legal incapability if they want to get out. Who would do that?

The compromise of the law is that people in general mindlessly click ok so that targeted advertising is possible. People who mind tracking can easily opt out. This leaves the ignorant to be tracked. How else should free services be financed? The only other option is making people pay for everything which is ok but a radical shift for the internet.

Like I said above, "typos" in sequences of calculations are obviously problematic, and lead (almost always) to mistakes in the final result. In this case that's not applicable since there's no "second arithmetic manipulation" following the typo:ed one. (The author replaces the incorrect one with the correct bayesian equation in the next section.)
I forget which app it was, but when in the US for the Boston Marathon this year, my friend and I used one of these systems. It was amazing - we left one set of cards and a phone in a bag the day before, plus clothes. We could then finish the race, go to the shop to get our bag (a chinese health store - they stored it in a back room), and get changed, then go have beers. No need to go back to our hotel (which was near Hopkinton).

It's actually a more legitimate service I think than the likes of uber, as it is anciliary service for more income for small shops (we also bought 'candy' when in the store - a bit more revenue for them), as opposed to people relying on it to make a living.
Yeah, but that's not a game on its own, it's just a part of a game. I'm wondering about which game exists in essentially the same form elsewhere.

Once you start looking into the rules for specific games that only use dice, the rules are many and pretty specific (e.g. street dice), and it's the Chess problem again. I guess a dice game that probably exists pretty widely in the universe would be the simple children's dice game, namely, two players roll N-sided dice and the higher number wins, or you accumulate multiple rolls and play first to a given total, but that's not a very interesting game, and there's no strategy.
Allocating large blocks of memory: bare-metal C++ speeds
If large amounts of 1- and 2- bedroom condos or apartments are built in a fairly densely-populated city, how much are the very rich going to want to buy or rent these? They may want to own them and rent them out, but if they can’t make a profit, I don’t see why they’d want to do that.

Luxury condos attract investment from richer people all around the world, but imho, fairly standard 1 and 2 bedroom apartments likely wouldn’t, especially if they have to be rented.

Could that be a way to combat the inequality?

The biggest problem I can see: developers love building luxury condos since the profit is much higher than building non-luxury places.
there are things that you either
can't express, or are very hard
to express, in safe Rust.

This is true (and in some sense inevitable by Rice's theorem) but it is unclear what can be done about this. Bear in
mind that Rust's design constraints are

- decidable (indeed fast) type-inference/type-checking

- simple typing system

- you don't pay for features you don't use

It is easy to get rid of unsafe blocks if you throw complexity at Rust, e.g. use dependent types and
/ or theorem provers, but all the obvious ways of doing this
immediately violate the constraints above. Doing it within Rust's
constraints is an open research problem.

potentially fixable.

What would you use as an objective, measurable criterion that we can
use to decided whether a purposed fix is in fact a fix? If you have a
concrete design proposal that works (in particular w/o destroying
Rust's fast (bidirectional) type-inference/type-checking and the
simplicity of Rust's types), and evidence that it's widely applicable
(i.e. doesn't just allow to type some trivial edge cases of back-links
and partially initialised arrays) that would easily publishable in top
PL conferences (e.g. POPL) and a working prototype would help towards
getting this into Rust.

I would be happy to help with implementing & writing up such work. I
have quite a bit of experience with sub-structural types a la Rust. I
have spend some time thinking about this problem space, but didn't
manage to crack it. I have an incoming PhD student whom I could ask to
help with this.
