Keep in mind that software patents are only enforceable in the US and Japan. Everywhere else in the world, you can do whatever you want (only copyright applies).

For businesses, it's still a big deal most of the time because you usually can't really neglect the US market, but for academia, there is no such issues.
I think the "_running_ app instance" is the key distinction here.

Breakpoints require halting your system, so while you can inspect the system's state, you can't meaningfully alter it as you could with the kinds of Clojure REPL workflows talked about here.

Another limitation is that you can't really inspect parts of your system outside the context of the currently running function where the breakpoint was triggered.

I think debugging with state-preserving hot reloading in UI development is probably the closest analogue I've encountered to debugging workflows with a Clojure REPL, though it's still nowhere near as flexible.

> explicitly update callers to use the new version

In a genuinely write-only language, how do you update those callers? You can't, you'd have to write new ones to call your new bugfixed function. And then you'd have to write new callers of those callers...

You'd have to rewrite the whole program every time you wanted to make a change. Which would make bug-fixing a much more cerebral activity since you'd want to work out as many as possible before the rewrite to save time.

I wonder how active the Guake maintainers really are. If you use it on Wayland, you get an error that it can't claim f12 as a key binding. This is because they use some X11 foo for their keybinding. It's easy to set a custom keybinding via Gnome which will allow you to use Guake, however, they have been ignoring requests to just allow Guake to have no binding (as far as it is aware) for some time now. A short time ago they started enforcing a keybinding, strangely. [0]

Unfortunately prior art doesn't stop someone else from patenting your work. It just offers an avenue for someone to invalidate that patent. Worse still, the process of doing so is often riskier for small businesses than if they just agree to pay a licence fee.

Here, a very old quote that tells you directly what is wrong with FP - the performance on old hardware sucked. For a very long while compilers/interpreters were not good enough.

The cost/benefit equation changed in recent years, and sure enough, FP ideas are becoming mainstream.

I d like to reverse the question. What s the obsession with going to the office to see other people? This seems to be particularly endemic to west/USA. There are lots of countries where , due to high unemployment , people have accustomed to having a life not provided by their employer. That's why remote work seems to fit well in europe/eastern europe where tech industry is scarce.
Thanks for your answer. I can hardly see Redis as a hard to admin software - vanilla installation should work in most (if not all) scenarios, honestly.
This is why I'm asking because, giving that Redis has a great number of extra features and superb performance, it would be hard to justify, at least for me, to choose Memcached.
Worst case scenario, you don't use all those extra features.

Not disagreeing with you, but there is a real difference between say the way Bangkok and Munich are treating it (I have recently been in Bangkok, now in Munich). In Bangkok 90%+ of people are walking around with masks (a combination of P2/N95 and surgical masks), hand sanitizer at the door of every shopping center. Security guards using temperature guns on everyone that enters a building.

I went for a massage and the receptionist used a temperature gun on me.

Here in Munich, it's invisible, except for a whole bunch of people that are working from home. Both are fairly close to hotspots, and yet there are very different behaviors.
Yup, not having their own turns caused weird time artifacts, and issues like blinding the last unit and casting whatever spells you wish with no interruption. On the other hand I understand why they did it - it makes the game play faster.

Heroes V has an issue in that initiative is exponential. Units with high initiative can act several times more often than low initiative ones. This reduces rule clarity, and no even the extra track doesn't help much. For example it's no longer simple to figure out when the unit will act when hasted or slowed.

On the flipside, HOMM1 had a blissfully stupid magic system. If you had Knowledge 6, you could cast 6 Magic Arrows, 6 Blind spells, 6 Fireballs, and 6 Armageddons. And because high level spells had no secondary skill requirements, mopping up developed enemies was a terrible slog. On the upside, it was EASY to predict how many spells you could cast. Also, shrines found outside towns vere VERY interesting and sometimes of strategic importance - because all spells would be eventually forgotten with use.

If we're talking multiplayer balance, the elephant in the room is that HOMM was always a poor multiplayer game. It just wasn't designed as such. Long, sequential turns. Time-consuming battles that magnify the waiting problem (you can auto-combat but then you're playing suboptimally and throwing out the main draw of the game). You can play it in multiplayer, but anyone who insists Heroes was a great multiplayer game hasn't played a decent modern board game. Or Age of Wonders III, designed with balance in mind. "Serious" multiplayer rulesets remove several potentially game-breaking spells from the game (Town Portal, Dimension Door, Fly especially), and encourage using auto-combat.

Heroes II on the other hand has separate Mass Haste (level 3) and Mass Slow (4).

Initiative and Speed have an interesting interaction in Heroes IV. Remember how classic HOMM has morale which is basically worse version of Luck, because quite often there's nothing more you want to do with that unit at this time? Morale in HOMM4 made units act before all other units for which Morale didn't trigger.
> Beyond that, this all assumes that SARS-COV-2 is a true epidemic of proportions we haven't seen since the Spanish flu which, despite all the alarmist media, isn't likely.

Media aren't alarmist enough. They don't understand how exponential growth works. Will this epidemic kill as much as the Spanish flu in absolute sense? Probably, especially if you factor in all the deaths from other causes that happened because the hospital system was DDoSed. In relative sense? Maybe not, there was ~4x less people back then.

> It's good to take all the right precautions, but we aren't living in the early 19th/20th century anymore.

Exactly. 19th and early 20th century would fare better. Yes, the virus would kill more of the infected people. But it also wouldn't travel as far and as fast, and wouldn't be damaging national economies so badly. Or threatening the food security of so many people (both in absolute and relative terms).

> We have modern medicine, proper hygiene, and a much faster rate of information transfer than we ever have before.

We also have just-in-time supply chains and lean philosophy of "cutting out fat" - i.e. any spare capacity in the system that could help with a crisis. Modern medicine won't do much if you use it all up in a week, and more won't be coming for another couple of months if at all. Faster information transfer won't help you if you have barely enough doctors to staff hospitals at regular load, forget the peak load during a pandemic (and note that many doctors will catch it and go out of circulation).
I freely admit I'm no virologist, but I don't quite get the focus on vaccines over cures.

People are panicking because there's no cure and they think there's a small but negligible chance they might die if they get it.

The virus is structurally quite simple. There are antibodies known from the previous SARS epidemic that are predicted via simulation to bind to the spike proteins very well indeed. I did some research over the past few days into how quickly you can make antibody serums and, well, it's a lot faster than you can make vaccines, especially if you aren't trying to manufacture huge quantities. At least one biotech firm claims to be right on the cusp of manufacturing antigens, which are a key ingredient in the (mass) production of antibodies.

Very few people get COVID-19 so badly they'd need to be given an external cure. With the containment efforts, it's possible you don't need huge factories producing antibodies to be able to cure the worst affected cases, and it's possible that the news of availability of a cure would itself be sufficient to largely end the panic. If COVID-19 becomes just "a bad flu that can be cured at your local hospital in the unlikely case it gets worse" then we might see a reset to normalcy very fast.
For me particularly the greatest difficulty was in understanding what was going on, and how people's effort was contributing to the company's goals. There always seems to be a lot of activity on individual tasks, and project managers will take strong interest in making sure that their project is on track, but higher up the chain of management I have always had trouble seeing where all the pieces fit together.

I would love if it was possible to have attributed to everything that is done in a company an array with scores that will indicate how well that effort is a fit for the company's goals. Then it would be simply a matter of having sensible metrics and an easy way to get the information. I imagine that's what KPIs are supposed to be doing, but somehow there doesn't seem to exist an easy to implement strategy for making them effortlessly intuitive and useful.
Why is Tesla in this list of companies supposedly (see sibling comments) providing tech that others build on? Honest question as I was always under the impression it was all proprietary.
Security issues arise when extensibility is paired with the absence of a good sandbox and permissions model.

DOS is the other example -- it was amazingly extensible to the point multitasking operating environments like DESQview[1] was available for it, but was also very susceptible to malware.

In the case of email on any given platform, it should be possible for an application to add functionality to email, but also to ensure (to use the author's example) that it cannot peek into your bank app.

I suspect given email's not as popular as it once was, and so email plugins are too much trouble for first-party mail clients, given their attack surface. Platforms like Slack and Teams do offer extensibility though.

This is what I did, until HR said people are working too many long hours and decided to close the office earlier. They actually did a cost cut on the electricity and security of the building, but the effect is they pretend to care about the employees and they close the office before the end of the rush hours. Years ago, I was leaving the office at night when the commute was as low as 15 minutes, at rush hour with a car it takes up to 2 hours per direction (11 miles).
I am currently relearning C, I tried different books over the years (to not say decades), never did more than a toy project. The book I picked up this time was extreme c (from Amazon reviews, failry new book), by Kamran Amini, and so far (few chapters in) it's fairly enjoyable as it takes C, compilation process etc from the "basics", fairly hands-on and not too much theorical and relatively fast paced. I feel that the book is more about how to make a program C and not teaching literally the language itself. So really what I needed.

No I didn't say anything like that, and to be honest, I don't generally ask such a question. However, in some cases, for example if you are a Junior, it's interesting to know how you learn, what drives you, etc. A book, a course, whatever, can give an idea. I mean, sure you can lie, you can fake all the certificates you want, but then eventually you'll join the company and there is the probation period. If you are not someone that likes to learn, it comes up relatively quickly. I think it's a fair question to ask, nothing to base the entire decision on.

I find it funny that I received a lot of criticism for this, when companies out there are still giving people BS riddles and "find the leaf with the value 'x' in a binary tree in O(logn)", or whatever crap they ask, to assess how good an engineer is, however, asking for how someone learns, how updated someone is, etc., is a something you should not take into account, while I find this very important, because it shows an important aspect of the person's attitude.

I think that we should stop hiring coders, and we should start hiring people. And people have interests, such as reading, fishing, etc.

I have the impression the downplaying is the major trend in Europe as well, so no, it’s not something limited to the Trump administration.

It is telling that Taiwan, which is super close geographically and culturally to China has now less cases than Italia, France and Germany. I’ve been there at the end of January when the thing started to be on TV and the difference in gov and public reaction with my country is huge.

Taiwan: 99% people outside wearing masks starting from the first days, government putting money to open a new mask factory, mask rationing so that they are available with healthcare card, some people limiting their move, people putting themselves in quarantine when coming back from China.

France: every media and the government saying there is no problem for more than a month, even when a close European country closed some schools. People going their live as usual even in regions with lot of cases. No quarantine, no border control. My family reaction: the virus is overrated, complaining about events cancelled (the trend just started this week), goes to public events even now.

Japan: government and people actions in-between West and East. Japan handled the ship semi-seriously, yet started taking other measures really lately. People bought every masks and toilet paper rolls out there, government did nothing so that we can each have some. Gel available at most shop or public place. Some information here or there about the importance of washing hands.

> Keep in mind that software patents are only enforceable in the US and Japan.

That is sadly untrue. There is a lot of confusion on this front because "software patents" are a specialized term of art that essentially means 'a patent that describes a procedure with no reference to a machine'. There was a period of time in the US when such patents were enforceable, but more recent cases have mostly changed that (Basically Diamond v Diehr in 1981 to CLS v Alice in 2014).

But all this is moot, because patents that apply to the software-implemented functionality of machines are common even without "software patents". I've followed more patents on software cases in _germany_ than anywhere else.

You're absolutely right about businesses. The US alone would be enough of a problem, but it isn't even the US alone that is an issue here.
That's what I'm wondering with K! What happens once I want to abstract over the basic operations?
Late reply, but here we go:

You're ignoring the fact that the inputs are copyrighted and that therefore the "non-human" is not the (sole) creator and the "work" is derived. The CNN isn't creating anything new except for random numbers.

Taken to the extreme, your position would be that any transformation performed by a computer program and involving random numbers would effectively remove copyright. That can't possibly be true, so there would have to be some "threshold of originality". Again, no case law on this, as far as I'm aware.

In effect, I believe you are spreading legal misinformation based on a flawed understanding of copyright law, which may put others in harms way.

> How could you have not heard of the Naruto case, for example?

Not really a good comparison. The "inputs" here are the monkey and the jungle, neither of which are themselves protected by copyright.

A better comparison would be a monkey creating a "director's cut" of Disney's Jungle Book, interspersed with footage from National Geographic, both of which are copyrighted. I doubt the "a monkey did it" kind of defense would stand here.
I guess this would expose new risks of timing side channel attacks, though.

100% agree. But voicing the idea that some of the actions being taken might be overreactions gets very strong reactions about "burying your head in the sand" or "being in denial".

The worst part is that after it's blown over, the same people will be saying how we dodged a bullet and it would have been a lot worse if the extreme measures hadn't been taken, with no self-reflection over which measures worked and which made no difference (and were actively harmful in other ways, like economic damage - which can have a direct and significant impact on people's lives).
