Really? I'm the opposite thought I'm not comparing apples-to-apples. I have both a Gateron Brown (one of those Kickstarter Keychron keyboards), and a regular mx-browns on an Drop Alt. The Keychron with Gateron's feel like I'm playing with Fischer Price toys. I'm not sure if it's the switches or plastic base vs aluminum, but I prefer my MX browns on my other keyboard Any thoughts on this? (I'd happily get a keychron with browns on an al base if I can expect the typing experience to be better.
I have read the article, and I feel is missed one obvious possible thing. Maybe highly intelligent people don't care about being rich?

Certainly reaching a "comfortable" income has value, but beyond that there is a limit. I am an AI researcher in University, so I guess under some measures I might come up as "highly intelligent" (whatever that actually means). I'm fairly sure (based on emails I keep getting) I could go into industry and earn much more money. However, the cost/benefit ratio to me isn't worth it.
The Onboarding Chasm: How to Turn Free Users into Customers
Not sure what you mean by necessity. I promise I’m not trying to be pedantic, but it’s not required. Plus, there are other, newer JS frameworks out there that use html templates and the like. The struggle is just maintaining valid HTML.
> B) You're using randomness as a means of avoiding deciding the inputs yourself because you don't the problem space

This is one you can definitely improve on. Learning how to partition your inputs into different groups/types that are likely bring out different behavior/issues/bugs with the code is important.

If you have an [add] method over integers, testing for [+,+], [+,-], [-,+], [-,-], [0,+], [0,-], [+,0], [-,0], and [0,0] are reasonable. The more complex the method, the more partitions you can wind up with; which also teaches building smaller methods.
I'll agree with that - I have a board that I built with Clear-minded Pandas (basically the same thing, but a Halo Clear stem instead of a Halo True), and it is so amazingly satisfying as a tactile board. Like you said - basically zero wobble, and an almost instant tactile bump that no other switch really has.
Heritage Auctions is creating a new market for sucker^^^former comic book speculators.
The Amish are extremely honest people in my experience. The ones I have met selling homemade goods and foods are fastidious about not charging for old food (e.g. 2 day old bread is free) regardless of whether it is still good and could be sold. I think the work ethic ties in with this, they see hard work as the only honest path in some way I think. In either case, it makes them some of the best handymen and construction workers:)
> That's not what the article is claiming though

I'm not sure how I can respond to that, other than pointing you to the Intro section (it's only a single, short paragraph). It seems clear to me that this is what the article is supposed to be about.
I think it would be interesting to note how many of you find this an objectionable mindset because of its self-destructiveness, compared to how many of you find it objectionable because you simply cannot stand to be reminded of the wretchedness this world is capable of.

It's the difference between volunteering at a soup kitchen, and recommending the installation of those anti-homeless spikes at your building entrance.
Sabotage, obviously. Sounds like a cheap way to really screw with morale in an industrial town that's building the parts for the bombs intended to be dropped on your homeland.
And, for those who have been contemplating parameter widening: on the 68000, insert s += 3. For "portable" C89 code, declare the parameter an int (not char) -- then introduce char c2 = c and s = &c2 instead. This transformation is "safe" because parameters are copied by value and cannot be returned that way.

As to debugging -- many of these systems did not have "debuggers" -- an example would be Whitesmiths C in the late 70s and the 80s. We used a strategy of old-school paper validation, combined with function testing. Yes, things moved more slowly.

Code can be maintained. The above C89 code was just compiled with gcc 9.2.1 -- with gcc -std=c89 c89.c it compiled without warning, and ran (40 year old code).

The issue with (say) bring forward Whitesmiths C is that the Whitesmiths standard library is not POSIX. Not hard to convert, though. For example (as I recall) %d was %i

FORTRAN 77 (and FORTRAN IV) is in a similar category. As is COBOL and Common LISP.

SNOBOL4 is a bit of an outlier -- The original interpreter was written in macro assembler. That assembler is now converted to C, and the original interpreter can still be run:

And, yes, I modified the original interpreter to add some extensions back in 2015. However, Budne has published the pattern matching engine in Javascript so there is an easy migration for those programs (https://github.com/philbudne/spipatjs).

In my opinion (and this is strictly my opinion), only Javascript appears to have this "lasting" property wrt modern languages. An important characteristic is simplicity, and forward-backward compatibility. As well, multiple implementations are important.

Again, going back to: see if for yourself. Experience it.

Then have an opinion, otherwise it’s like reading about NYC and saying you hate it because you read the reviews.
It's quite probable that they are interested in things that don't directly relate to making money. I know many senior researchers with Phd's in the UK who get paid something like 30-40K GBP - I don't know the exact figure but that's about right. They could probably earn at least 4 times that if they worked in banking or accounting but that doesn't interest them. Often they aren't even aware it is a possibility. So it's more a question of motivation rather than intellect as with many things in life.
I vaguely remember that Interbase was a proper client/server thing at first. I'm pretty sure we were using Paradox databases with all their quirks in 1998-2000, including support people fixing broken db files for customers.

Some of that I've learned so far, it look like starting with Windows 10, version 1607 and Windows Server 2016 the VM Security features of Windows are automatically enabled when the Hyper-V hypervisor is enabled, and when that is enabled other VM systems are unable to run due to security logic in Win10. Further, the Hyper-V hypervisor is running inside a VM, so testing for the Hyper-V hypervisor being enabled and active is looking like what MS is trying to push this situation into being a single, simple setting check for being in a VM or not. More research to follow, which I'll report back here.

The Kimball book series suggests some generalized schemas by industry, for the purpose of data warehousing. Here the academic schema rules tend to bend a bit - denormalization can become a useful and often necessary technique, for example.

Might be helpful for a rounded understanding of good schema design - it can depend on the context.
In Firefox 73, drag-and-drop works for me to move components inside a new parent. I can also reorder components that share the same parent by selecting one, looking at the Children section of the Inspector, and dragging-and-dropping the drag handle next to a child.
Ok, I suppose I went too quickly with my example although I thought the principle would be familiar, namely that a named place can be rebuilt and it is still the named place.

Better example - well here but it's in Danish https://www.kristeligt-dagblad.dk/kirke-tro/marmorkirkens-s%...

of course the principle is not universal, for example old St. Peter's Basilica and new st. Peter's Basilica
are at the same location and of course are distinguished from each other by the descriptive old or new.

My thought would be that, instead of re-using the seed in further tests, you should be figuring out what inputs that seed generated and create a test case for those inputs directly.

I think he meant to write deterministic. The exact nature of the logic TLA is not the relevant point here. TLA (and so TLA+) extensively relies on nondeterminism for things like specifying code at arbitrary levels of detail (e.g. you can say, after this step, the list is sorted somehow, without specifying how), interaction with the environment (the user performs one operation of the possible ones, or some arbitrary machine fails) or concurrency in its programming sense (the OS will schedule one of these several operations next).
Hehe, a bit like fusion then. Well, here's to hoping that he gets it completed in his lifetime and that he gets to take her out on the maiden voyage and that all works out well. It is an incredible undertaking, I just watched some of his joinery videos, him doing stuff 'without getting too fancy about it' is workmanship level that I can only aspire to and know that I'll never reach it.
It only works until the pattern of randomness consumption changes even the tiniest bit. But it's a valuable tool nonetheless, even if only for quick re-runs during a debug/fix session.

For long term regression checks you might want to make sure that your test data object graph can be round-tripped through JSON (or any similar format, but JSON tooling is ubiquitous) to get your random discoveries into a less fragile form (or: fragile in a different, more fixable way).

Bingo, we have a winner! Speaking for myself, I'm at a point where I'm making enough money and have been making decisions to increase my free time. Things like working 100% from home so that I don't waste time commuting and turning down job offers that would pay more because they'd cut into leisure time. An extra $50k/year (or whatever) wouldn't be worth an additional hour of work per day to me.
The crux of this article is just repeating some researchers finding that:

> Innate intelligence plays, at best, a 1 to 2 percent role in a child's future success. Instead, financial success is correlated with conscientiousness: Self-discipline, perseverance, and diligence.

Which is interesting research, but the article doesn't mention the huge role that being born to a rich family and having good opportunities plays. By framing this as "hard work pays" rather than "talent and intelligence pays", they are missing the elephant in the room.
I'm aware of one somewhat similar case.

When I learned French (as a non native speaker) I was told that capital letters are not accented.

Later when I lived in France I found out that while this is common practice, it is neither universal nor normative and came about because typewriters typically couldn't produce accented capital letters.

I tried searching, but couldn’t find details when they became an National Electrical Code requirement. I’ve lived in a 1980s construction building where there was still a fuse box.

What kills code more than anything else is not the language of choice, but operating system vendors "improving" user experience by deprecating APIs and frameworks.

That said, there are language communities that definitely value change more than stability * cough * javascript * cough.

But go. Imho it's unfair to implicate go. It has no backward incompatible change that I know of, and it literally depends on nothing but the kernel interface, which is known to be very stable.

Intelligence doesn't necessarily mean industriousness, by my observation many highly intelligent people are (almost by definition) curious and lack the focus required to monazite in a capitalistic society.

And I know this will get downvoted, mostly by the people I'm talking about : If you're still working a day job where you swap your time for money, you are not highly intelligent, maybe intelligent, but not highly. Jobs are for suckers, automate your wealth generation.

Fixation on money seems more something people obsessed with individual power pursue versus those driven by a desire for knowledge or understanding. Einstein was famously a socialist who refused an offer to become prime minister of Israel, for example.
This looks great!

If I might suggest something: Maybe you'd like to investigate different layouts for different use cases? The alphabetical ordering of builtins e.g. will mainly help you if you encounter it, but don't know what it does.

For more exploratory/educational lookup attempts, perhaps it could be useful to group them together by their use? I'm fairly certain, for example, that grouping `cd` together with `pushd` and `popd` might help someone avoid some rather nasty bugs in their script. Maybe, even a "see also" in the direction of subshells could help (as `cd` only affects the commands in the subshell).

And, on a sidenote: Interestingly, one can find similar "lookup problems" all over the place. For instance, any good guide to morse code will show you an alphabetical list of codes (text -> morse code) as well as a morse tree (morse code -> text) :)
>Acting like participation in a system is some kind of grave strike against protesting terrible aspects of the system is less than helpful, both logically and rhetorically.

It is that participation that make it impossible for non abusive employers to compete and exist as a business. I know that there is no option in certain businesses, but even the ones where there is an option, it's obvious how price sensitive people are. Everyone decries abuse of employees, but, as reality shows, basically everyone will opt to save money and reward the businesses that import goods from places known to abuse employees. So what good is complaining about the abuse of a specific employer of its employees?

We like our cheap goods and services, that's why we don't have the political will to change the laws.

> It seems to me databases are uniquely treated this way, as some kind of disposable, simple piece of side equipment

This is exactly right - lots of people are still cargo-culting rules of thumb that no longer make any sense.

This was an artifact of the last generation's commercial DB market. Open source DBs weren't "there" yet; a combination of real limitations and risk-conservatism kept companies shoveling huge amounts of money at vendors for features and stability now provided by `apt-get install postgresql-server`.

If you just lit seven figures on fire for a database license, you're not hungry to do it again, so you wanted all your software to be compatible with whichever vendor you just locked yourself in to. And certain DB vendors are very well known for brass-knuckle negotiation; if you could credibly threaten to migrate to $competition instead of upgrading, it was one of the few actually useful negotiating levers available.

Today, open source DBs are better than the commercial ones in many situations, certainly not worse in general use, and the costs of running a bunch of different ones are far lower. Not to mention, the best way to win a software audit is to run zero instances of something.

As someone who used to work around the kind of people and organizations who own vintage (like 1960s on down) wooden boats I assure you almost nobody except the museum nonprofits that own restored/replica tall ships cares in the slightest about having proper government papers to accompany your new keel. It's often actively avoided in practice.

A lot of times the chain of custody and the history is what makes a boat valuable or interesting and government recognition of the new boat is the difference between the original and the replica in a lot of people's eyes because without that recognition there is one boat and with it there is two, a real one and a replica. Sometimes people just work done right and if the hassle of creating a "new" vessel in the eyes of the government can be reasonable avoided it will be (but this is rare reason, most of these people would rather buy a different boat, nobody does that kind of work on a boat that isn't historically interesting or of sentimental value).

It's common (as common as something can be in a niche part of a wealthy people's hobby) to have a boat in crap shape and park it in a shop, deconstruct it enough to take critical measurements and then rebuild it in the adjacent bay starting from the keel using all new material and then reinstall all the original fittings, hardware, etc, etc, off the original boat.

So yeah, you're "supposed" to re-title the boat with a new title in the same way that you're "supposed" to drive 55mph on a four lane interstate highway. In my observation the fraction of people who do what they're "supposed" to is about similar and those people tend to be motivated by special circumstances.

I assume commercial vessels follow the letter of the law but you don't exactly see a lot of commercial vessels getting keel repairs short of scrapping the vessel (or selling it overseas) and buying a new one.
