It's 2020, and I still have to manually enable Wifi Mesh Networking (802.11s) and recompile in Debian, even Buster. But that is a minor inconvenience, and takes 5 minutes. I do that for some other package too, for some niche options, but it's very easy to do in Debian.
Don't really have a stake in this either way, but presumably to determine the "longest-serving programmer", it is a bit of a competition, no?

Definitely the comment was mean-spirited, but the core - which is that if we are trying to determine longest programmer, this is likely not a contender - seems to be true?

What’s the situation with Nordic police and minorities? Because in the not really Nordic but reasonably civilized Netherlands the supposedly well educated police force is also a known hotbed of racism. Members of the police force in The Hague refer to themselves as “exterminators of Moroccan vermin”. Ethnic profiling is rampant and on at least one occasion a man of color was held down by a group of cops until he died as well.

At least part of the problem is cops themselves.
I think that that is interesting!
10 years should be enough time to get a working IDE and a good starting set of libraries, and my personal experience is that Haskell has neither.

According to ASML, EUV requires an incredible amount of institutional knowledge to pull off, including for the optics involved. And they're not worried about a machine being taken to an unauthorized location because EUV machines are huge and assembled on-site for customers ("bolted to the ground") by ASML itself.

Performance is entirely dependent on use-case, there are many where Linux outperforms Windows, especially if you're a developer, but as to why it is less "desirable" has mainly to do with what comes per-installed on 99% of Walmart PCs.

I read about a large beer brewer doing this recently too, testing the concept in Brazil first - I think it was AB InBev. I think if makes sense to open a new sales channel, but it can't be easy for a manufactering org to build the processes and infrastructure for this - it must be like starting a whole new company from scratch.

That's a lot of questions, but let me take a couple. I got my Master's degrees in the early 1970's, when we used something called a "slide rule". In 1990 I went back to school to update my skills and expand my knowledge into artificial intelligence, which I had become enamored with. Unfortunately, I didn't finish my PhD (big mistake!) because in 1995 I jumped on an opportunity to join a company that had this amazing software that enabled very advanced analytics on big data (except it wasn't called "big data" back then). The software was called HOPS (for Heuristic Optimized Processing System) and I still use it today to develop custom machine learning applications among other things. I went back to school again in 2016 to fill in some gaps so would qualify as a real "data scientist" - the latest craze. I will say that HOPS was and is the biggest idea in software that hasn't worked out - at least not commercially. It's a system that is great for data scientists working on big data and enables them to do their own programming with minimal effort. I'm still hoping HOPS will take it's deserved place in the world of software development. It will be a great loss if it doesn't! It's one reason I'm holding on - to prove the exceptional things that it enables and prevent it from being tossed into the trash bin of history.

Stompenberg: Test out real effect pedals with your own equipment in your browser
In fairness, part of the idea of using professional cops and not soldiers, was originally that professional cops were from the community and would be better able to interact, or "liaise" with community members. It's just that over the centuries we kind of forgot about that part. In the US we moved to the current system where many of the police may not even live in the communities they serve. Heck, they may not even live in the municipality at all.

It's a better idea to try to make the cops community liaisons by going back to hiring your police from among the people who live in your municipality. You would get more familiar faces out there, and I think you'd get rid of the weekend warrior types from the suburbs or whatever.

But there must be some reason they don't do that because that idea is just way too obvious. Maybe they have data that shows more corruption if the police are from the municipality being served? Or actually probably, the police unions don't allow it? Or something. There's probably a reason.

Journal papers usually don't get rewritten into Prolog or fed into proof assistants. They're read by human beings.

> Would the world be better off without free (to users) GMaps and free GMail?

Hard to say for Maps. There were maps freely available before Google Maps, but they didn't look as nice and they didn't have Streetview and the routing services, and you couldn't embed them on your Website for free (well, paying with you visitor's data, really).

For Gmail? I feel like emails were more reliable before Google decided that any email is likely Spam unless it's sent by one of a dozen commercial providers. Gmail didn't jump ahead in features like GMaps did vs the existing systems, it had a nice web interface and came with a lot of free space in exchange for reading your emails to create a better profile for targeted ads, but that was pretty much it.
Sporting events on the moon have the potential to be profitable, because of the scale of media.

Our definitions seem entirely compatible: a more accurate and flexible model will enable greater capacity to face circumstances. A deer perceives risks from predators. We have a totemic fear of predators but also things that are less immediate, some innate (e.g. heights) and some acquired culturally (e.g. radiation). Our broadened threat model protects us from demise in a wider set of circumstances: e.g. deer flock to to the exclusion zone forests near Chernobyl because there;s few predators (including few humans), humans fled from there because they knew or were told by those who knew of the risks of radiation exposure.

For triple redundancy, is there a way to re-sync if one of them disagrees? Control systems tend to have internal states that may be disrupted even if an input has glitched for a single cycle. Will it eventually converge back to nominal? Or is that processor rejected for the duration of the mission?

I’m not blaming them, mostly, but I am pointing out that what they’ve put their effort is not consistent with industry usage. Parsec is neat, but parsing is a relatively niche industrial need, and lens sits somewhere between PL research and “solving problems that only Haskell has”.

They’re fine libraries, they’re just not what I want to see if you’re trying to convince me to replace Java with Haskell at work. If I was looking to write a compiler however...
It is pretty clear from the name that it is a Russian network though. They dont need to call themself Putin News.
the purpose/pattern is to ignore deallocation when the program finishes -- not during runtime. If you have 30MB of space, and your program will only ever use 20MB, why bother?

You only need to care when you're at risk of OOM'ing during runtime. If you're generating too much garbage, you either need to start cleaning up after yourself, or you need to generate less of it -- but it doesn't matter which choice you take from the perspective of the OS or the server-less function.

The only reason I can think of for server-less to impact the validity of this pattern is from it's lower memory capacity -- but otherwise it's the same constraints. And anyways, it's probably not nice to generate a few GB of garbage even if the user has the space
I wonder whether the manufacturer of some existing artificial “fresh breeze” scent happened to already stumble upon a formula that closely approximates the chemical composition of the real thing, without knowing it. Do e.g. (scented) detergents contain these particular hydrocarbons? Does any air freshener?

Also: is there any knowledge of these compounds’ effects on the human body? Are they GRAS? I can imagine an evolutionary just-so story where our bodies like the scent because it tells us that whatever’s emitting the smell has, essentially, been UV-disinfected. But that doesn’t mean that breathing the scent volatiles themselves is good for us. Humans think all sorts of bad-for-us things smell/taste good, like ozone or antifreeze.
Switching speed is very fast with silicon, but we seem to be nowhere near the computing power of the brain, which incidentally runs on an absurdly low 20W. I think this power usage aspect is quite underappreciated.

There's a clear curfew order to stay inside. The police come by and see five young adults sitting on a porch. The police order them inside. The group responds by sitting there and continuing to film. So the police fire a single non-lethal shot to get them to go inside. I dont have any sympathy for this group or their pair of greened jeans that they lost in this altercation.
You're entitled to an opinion. Even racists and JTRIG operatives have opinions. Quite often, racists are quick to dismiss black people's allegations of racism because they lack empathy... even when confronted with video evidence.

One thing I noticed while living in China is that it's not usually Africans and African Americans who complain the most about Chinese racism against black people. No, sir! It's usually non-black racists who have experienced discrimination for the first time and finally found an opportunity to camouflage and justify their own racism against blacks, Asians, etc. by using the Chinese as a canvas on which they can paint a narrative.

A person can travel to China (or elsewhere in Asia), date and marry the locals, have mixed race offspring and still have strong prejudice against Asians or other people of color. See for instance SerpentZA and Laowhy86 and their reactions to the physiognomy of their own children. And SerpentZA's expressed opinions on post-Apartheid South Africa.

Are there racists in China? Of course there are. Is there rampant discrimination against non-Han people. Yes! People of all colors can be racist or ethnocentric. But is Chinese anti-black racism worse than American anti-black racism as the recent narratives have proclaimed? No! An emphatic "NO"!

In China, most foreigners experience racism at some point during their stay. For a non-black person who has never experienced in-your-face racism, this has to be a jarring and disorienting experience.

For a black person in China, particularly an American black person, it's just "meh" racism. The cops aren't trying to murder you for simply existing and no one will try to lock you up in prison forever for not being the right color. Granted, as in America, some people may not date you and some employers will not hire you due to the color of your skin, but the vast majority of Chinese will be warm and friendly toward you and they won't clutch their pearls when they encounter you day or night.

So, in my opinion (as a black man) living in China was quite a refreshingly meh and relaxing experience. "I didn't even have to use my AK."

Apparently, your experience varied and you hold a different opinion about the relative toxicity of Chinese and American racism. But, as you noted, we are different people. Welcome to racism for the inexperienced... it hurts, doesn't it? I feel for you but I will not apologize for living a different experience than explained by your programming or your privilege. If that makes me a "troll", so be it.

Think about it this way: you run a clinic that detects 100 cases of early stage breast cancer a month. So you detect a total of 1200 per year, right? Now imagine you close for three months. What happens? Well, 300 of these cases do not get detected during that period. Could they get detected later after you reopen? Sure but by its nature it means that they may not be early stage anymore. Also, some percentage of the women would not reschedule an appointment right away since when the clinic reopens it will be overdue by three months worth of appointments so they might wait much longer to be seen vs the regular schedule, exacerbating the problem.

You are correct that on an individual level it is a game of chance: if you are going to develop breast cancer it’s a bad thing but if by chance you develop it in the right window of time right before your annual exam, your outcome is likely to be better. But from the point of view of screening a large population stopping testing for a period of time is bad.

Think about it in terms of COVID: what would happen if all testing was shut down for a month? No, not everyone who gets COVID would get it in that month but the people who do will absolutely not get tested, right?

My problem with this framing of the argument is that it's reasoned from the position of "If we want to do X then how much do we have to spend to make it happen". It's very much a "moonshot" style of thinking where you are only considering doing it once, it's not sustainable and it's not scalable. What we need to be asking is "If we want to do X what systems do we need to put in place so that X is trivial". Then the goal becomes to build sustainable and profitable industries that make everything leading up to X easier, cheaper, safer, and more accessible to everyone. It's not as direct of a route but it has a compounding effect built into it that works for you and eventually does all the work to keep X going.

This is exactly what SpaceX is doing with the eventual goal of putting people on Mars. They've been finding and solving problems the whole time but the ultimate problem is that we still have all of our eggs in one basket and we're one asteroid, volcano, war, or pandemic away from civilizational collapse. Creating a self-sustaining population off planet is the only way to solve that problem.

> If you equate market cap with quality, then Java is probably the best language of all time.

Haskell proponents vastly underestimate the importance of stability to industrial users. Java provides some very strict promises about backwards compatibility that make it very attractive if you’re going to write a service and maintain it for decades.

Also, unlike Haskell, I can hire a huge number of Java devs, at a reasonable rate. My company alone would probably double industrial Haskell usage if we were to use it, making hiring a serious challenge.

So yes, for metrics that businesses care about, Java might be the best language around.
