So you did not mean "Most implementations look like C …" you meant the fastest implementations look like C ?

You might find this interesting — "One can, with sufficient effort, essentially write C code in Haskell using various unsafe primitives. We would argue that this is not true to the spirit and goals of Haskell, and we have attempted in this paper to remain within the space of reasonably idiomatic Haskell. However, we have made abundant use of strictness annotations, explicit strictness, and unboxed vectors. We have, more controversially perhaps, used unsafe array subscripting in places. Are our choices reasonable?"

Diving into Redis 6.0
State machines are a surprisingly powerful tool. They do require you to capture all the possible states of the system; the combinational explosion of "X while Y but not while Z" can get a bit nasty, but that can often force a redesign simply to reduce the state space.

If all your logic is immutable apart from a small area around the state machine the state gets much easier to manage. You write everything as f(state, inputs) => next_state. You can at any point inspect or print the state of the state machine, and record its transitions so you have a clearer idea of how it got there if there was indeed a bug.

I dropshipped from 2001 to 2004 in the jewelry market.

I never really set out to do it, just stumbled into it. I had a friend in the jewelry business that tipped me off on the potential so I started exploring the opportunity. I was in college and thought it an interesting real-world challenge compared to what I was working on in my classes. It ended up paying for my graduate degree and then some.

This was years and years before turnkey solutions. So I built my own. Everything was held together with ColdFusion MX 6, which I was a big advocate at the time and into that dev meetup scene.

After 6 months of development putting in tons of late night hours, things were fairly automated. I would scan daily email reports and any process exceptions, too, were emailed to me. I never achieved astronomical volume, but it made a decent chunk of change. Just ran on cruise control sustaining me and my family through graduate school.

I was an early integrator with the jewelry dropshipper. Orders and order status was communicated over FTP. Cue batch processing jobs. They are still around btw. At the time, they supplied most brick and mortar jewelry shops. Probably still do.

This, of course, was before social media of any kind, so my channel was eBay. I was an early integrator with eBay's new API built on something called SOAP. :) I hated it, but after complaining in their dev forums, eBay paid for travel and hotel to their conference in 2002(?) to give feedback in a private session with their developers. I have to give them credit, they were really trying hard to keep things simple and were sincere.

There wasn't anything like Stripe at the time, so I was one of Netsuite's first (very) small business customers just as they were beta testing online payments (iirc backed by Authorize.net). NS had a comprehensive CRM, order fulfillment, etc. solution. It is funny to think that NS was actually cheap relative to other offerings. Open sourced a ColdFusion implementation of the integration and a ColdFusion framework ( bothhosted on tigris.org... anyone remember that?). Both had users for a few years.

I built an e-commerce website (I sometimes go browse it still on WayBackMachine to reminisce) to try to steer purchases away from eBay to avoid fees. Was navigating the gray area of auction, buy it now, and linking back to my site. Sometimes would get reported for policy violation.

In the end, I didn't have budget to market outside of eBay, nor the entrepreneurial spirit to grow it, nor the inclination to bring in investors. My heart wasn't in it once the technical challenge wasn't there. A pattern I've unfortunately repeated over my career.

After my graduate degree, I sold it all to a local jeweler and transitioned it to them. They ran it for a few years to supplement revenue that their brick and mortar store was starting to lose because of online jewelers. I got paid for periodic work to fix a bug here and there. They shut it down in 2009 when their store went under. :(

Overall, it was a fun run. I learned a heck of a lot early in my career.
What the hell is "Physical IP". Last I heard you either had IP or you had just plain old physical property. Not a weird combination of both.

It sounds like some convoluted way of making an end run around first sale doctrine by saying you bought the atoms that make up that processor, but you didn't purchase the arrangement of them; which sounds absolutely absurd.

Two big things he seems to miss.

Correctly identifying (and quarantining) just a few newly infected people in the early stages of an epidemic is a huge win. It's the same as compound interest. Early investment pays handsomely.

Secondly, this article is written as if better testing won't be available in the future. Better tests will eventually exist, so that can hardly be a reason why we shouldn't lay groundwork now.

Bonus point: we aren't just trying to help the current pandemic. Perhaps this infrastructure could help prevent the next pandemic of a far deadlier disease where every extra quarantined person saves multiple lives.

I'm the hiring manager from earlier and I've had that happen, so it's not just hypothetical. I've worked adjacent to infosec for many years; it's not unusual for talented workers in that field to have "interesting" backgrounds.

You're right about plenty of managers being jerks, but on the other hand, do you really want to work for someone who would freak out if they knew you did dumb stuff when you were a kid?

Also, you're probably not going to get a decent lawyer to agree to aliases, and the last thing you want to do is lie to your own lawyer. That's how you get them to quickly stop counseling you.

I think the analogy to energy is pretty good. Like the FizzBuzz thing, you can also build a machine that has a lot of energy but doesn't accomplish anything useful.
Honestly it's just amateurish editing combined with single-camera footage. Lot of modern TV shows and movies also cut every 1-2 seconds, and reality/contest TV is worse than YouTube with cut frequency. But, they do things like overlapping the audio through the cut, switching camera angles on the same, "continuous" scene of events, using good cinematography to make the cuts feel natural, like you're just turning your head as someone else starts speaking, or to respond to some new event happening "over there."

The criticism of simply the frequency of cuts seems weak to me, it's been like that forever with most types of video entertainment content.

> "As investment and development dollars continue flowing into the dominant mobile platforms — Android and iOS — it’s logical to expect that every useful desktop application that hasn’t yet been adapted to them already is on its way there."

I'm unsure whether some classes of desktop applications can ever be as useful on mobile platforms as they are on the desktop. I'm thinking of applications that legitimately need a lot of screen estate to stay useful like digital audio workstations or IDEs with extensive debugging support.

I contend that useful desktop applications are sometimes useful precisely because they run on a desktop.

I think backwards compatibility is a bigger stumbling block than support for peripherals. x86_64 emulation on ARM is still pretty bad AFAIK and there is a tremendous amount of Mac software that won't be ported on the first day, or ever in some cases.
> I dunno why it’s widely assumed if Apple introduces one ARM based Mac that all Mac’s will eventually go ARM

Two points to think about on this issue:

1) When Apple moved away from PowerPC, they did so entirely.

2) Apple historically* wanted to keep its hardware offerings simple and easy to understand, and supporting multiple architectures could muddy their offerings.

* When Jobs returned to Apple, he killed the confusing lineups in favor of one option each of desktop or mobile, for pros and home users. This has changed a bit lately, but I can imagine ARM and Intel options of Macbook vs Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro being a nonstarter.

Anyway, I agree, an ARM Macbook Air would be awesome, assuming the software followed suit.

Schneier seems to misunderstand this as well. Contact tracing is to find the next people to test, because you can't test everyone every week. Schneier calls it a "false positive" when transmission doesn't occur, but as far as contact tracing goes, it's only a false positive if no transmission could have possibly occurred.

> if you don't want censorship, build, use and support systems that are designed to make censorship impossible.

That's the thing: there have been systems like that in place for decades (Freenet, I2P, Tor). Nobody uses them. Why? Because most people are actually depressingly pro-censorship. Even YouTube's censorship could be trivially broken if a plurality of people opposed it: if everybody just flagged every video on YouTube, they'd have to give up on policing them. You can't oppress people without overwhelming consent, and it's clear that the majority of us do consent.
Because there are probably more than 100 million bikes in France, lots of them in garages are not ready to be a daily means of transportation.
