What's the point, though? I doubt you have a deep knowledge of the etymology of every single word you use, even for the ones you use all the time. I bet you would feel forced to use a very different and extremely narrow set of words if you did. You might even have chosen another username if you were "sensitive" to how "saber" alludes to an instrument of historical oppression and suffering.

And yet not many people do or seem to care. Why? You might say it's because our culture is still not enlightened, but it really is just because it doesn't matter what the usage used to be as long as it's used with a different, more-or-less harmless meaning today. Not only that, but what about words that have had countless interpretations since forever (black/white)? Why pick the one that happens to be racist?

And I may be making a wild conjecture here, but it's not like talking about a "master branch" will make you more likely to become pro-slavery. I mean, what would "master branch" even mean out of the context of version control?

Words are just labels to meaning. It makes no sense to care about the label. People have declared love with N-words and advocated for genocide with flowery language. Banishing words is a prime example of bikeshedding.
You are right :-) Shared the elevator with Dana Scott once at a conference in Seattle. Even exited it on the same floor, and we actually had hotel rooms next to each other. But I managed to say nothing to him :-D

If your company/innovation relies on free access, but in reality that access costs 30%, your idea is not solid.

Suppose there’s no iPhone. No customers bought it. They all want to run arbitrary software. In this world, is Hey a good idea?

If that’s not the world you live in, should you invest in Hey pretending it’s another world?

I'm crying so hard.
I think your view is extremely under appreciated, especially as it applies to group settings.

The trendy idea is about "being present" in physical form and acknowledge (but not engage) with any random thoughts that might come your way. I don't want that feeling unless I'm very specifically seeking it out.

Whenever I've had to participate in the "group" versions of these things, I try to think of literally anything else to keep myself distracted until it's over, for fear of wandering into unpleasant territory and causing a mood change when I'm actually supposed to be at work.

I wish there was a word for "sitting in silence with others, frantically searching for anything to think about to avoid letting your mind wander into terrifying places". If this mindfulness thing takes off, maybe someone can come up with a clever way to sum that up. It's a very uneasy feeling.

Also, why my employer would want me to take a mid-day break to meditate is beyond me. It's like they're trying to make me rethink my life decisions and quit.

This strikes me as a bit silly, because "master"/"slave" are simply words that describe a relationship. One that unfortunately still exists in many parts of the world. We're certainly not going to stop using them to describe the original thing. These aren't derogatory terms, they're just terms. Terms that describe bad things, but terms. Surely people can see the difference between this and something like the "Washington Redskins" name, which is (arguably, but imo) an actual derogatory term.

I don't really have any concerns about whitelist/blacklist (I'm aware of the history) because alternatives are more explicit. Allowlist/Denylist seem strange to hear at first, but they're intuitive, so I'm fine with it.

With master/slave, in Djangos case[0], they replaced it with "leader" and "follower", which obviously have different meanings. Master and slave have a very explicit connotation, which is that one controls the other, and the other has to do everything the other says. Leader/follower does not fit the bill to describe that relationship. We're explicitly and objectively losing precision because we've decided that non-derogatory non-outdated accurate terms in the English language make some people uncomfortable.

And again, to really drive this point home, these are just words. They are not derogatory terms. They're used in accordance with their dictionary definition. This is like saying we should stop using "kill" to describe the termination of a program because people have been killed and that makes some people sad when they think about it.

Is it hate? Or is it just the truth that board games have really evolved over time? I can still enjoy a game of Risk, but it's difficult to say that I'd prefer a game of Risk compared to a game with more complex dynamics. That doesn't mean I disrespect Risk or hate it. But difficult to enjoy skiing green circle after you've gotten used to black diamond, no?

This is a great story. On my part, I enjoyed playing soccer with my friends when I was a kid: We didn't have to perform or run fast, but we just did our best, and it was fun and fulfilling. On the other hand, our PE classes were often bland and not very fun: running, pull ups, push ups, occasionally basketball, which I struggled with a lot. (It was not in the US, so no one was getting much social benefits from being good at sports. But I see why your experience with school PE and sports feels so devastating.)

Just because TCP/IP was made to be robust enough to survive holes in the network topology caused by nuclear bomb devastation, it doesn't really mean that TCP/IP networks would magically keep on working after a large-scale nuclear war.

I mean, during a nuclear war, the networks would only need to stay working until a counterattack could be coordinated and launched.

After that point, the devastation would be so large planetwide that I think any potential TCP/IP users roaming the irradiated wastelands looking for food while coughing up blood would have other things on their mind than network access in any case.

For smaller scale events, sure, but while the networking design might be robustness-focused, there is still a huge amount of auxiliary stuff required, these need power and cooling, maintenance and administration, repairs, and so on.

Some parts of the internet system might be robust and resilient, but the whole system certainly isn't.

It depends. One of the reasons economists point to the youth employment/wage problem and non 'standard' contracts in countries with these laws are situations like this, as firing older bad performant employees is too expensive and hard. If I work in a company for 20 years, and I have 15 years to retirement, I can decide to spend my entire day browsing Facebook and most companies will have some difficulty firing me as they will probably have to pay between 3 and 5 years of wages and even risk a lawsuit like this.

My ex-mother-in-law had a factory, and when she caught an employee stealing (taking already made products home), she was fired on the spot, and after a year long battle, the court forced her to be re-admitted and paid lost wages. (our labour court is very very very pro employee to a stupid degree, but final decision was basically : 'she doesn't get paid enough and needed the money, so it isn't her fault')

I think there needs to be a balance. Firing an employee can't be so expensive that after a certain time an employee can do whatever they want and not face consequences, and employees should still have some financial and personal responsibility if they need to fire someone.
Reading CACM on 50-year delay gives me an interesting diff against current state of the art. Functional programming was a thing (albeit perhaps before "functional programming" was a name) in the sixties.

CPL, IIRC, actually had an outer-functional semantics, and one would escape to "value of" blocks to do procedural stuff (which was necessary in inner code due to the pitifully small machines of the day).

Writing bootstrap compilers in GPM must've been very similar to working in a lazy functional language.

Question to ones following quic/http3 development, what does it bring over http2?

From my point of view, http3 is more of a sidegrade and has no net benefit over http2.

We can make TCP fast, very fast, and the use of UDP was not a prerequisite for any of its functionality.

The "multistream" functionality of QUIC is mainly to benefit companies with big, highly loaded CDNs, and kind of obviates the economic point of squeezing multiple virtual streams into a single TCP connection as used in http2.

By throwing away TCP, they are throwing away decades of optimisations, and hardware offloading that network hardware makers made to handle TCP well.

If the talk was really about extracting single digit improvements from it, I think it would've made more sense to finally put SCTP, and DCCP to good use.

I'm guessing you mean 100KM altitude? What happens at ten is clearly regulated and done so with excellent international cooperation, probably more efficiently than any other aspect of global politics.

Geostationary Earth Orbits are kept incredibly clean at 38,000km away.

People should be wary of the kneejerk pessimism that permeates online discourse and not underestimate human ability to solve seemingly insurmountable issues.
In this specific context though, nobody is going to be manually calculating the binary hash of the source tree and encoding it, so this advantage doesn't seem very relevant.

The proposed solution would still be alphanumeric, so it would share that advantage.
I don't know, as far as I know functional programming is a standard course in computer science university curriculum. I've only been part of small dev teams so far, but of those teams always more than half were university educated, and none of them continued functional programming after university. Of all my university friends only one did Haskell outside of university that I know of (maybe there's some secret Scala/F# lovers at Java/.net firms). I've been part of the Haskell community, so it's not like I don't know Haskell programmers, but I'm saying I know a lot of formally educated programmers, and only very few of them took a liking to functional programming to an extent they'd do it professionally or even as a hobby.

Trump is the most failed businessman ever, he burned through all of daddy's money.

No sane person ever gave him any credibility after following him. Eg. When he tried to influence the stock market consistently in 1987, they just started ignoring him.

He's just a one-trick pony, trying to do the same thing over and over again on a bigger scale ( he has some experience with it by now).

But the only consistency in his life is his failure.

I'm in the software industry and I design board games. Of course I used to develop video games before that, so it wasn't a huge leap, although I didn't really have the urge to start doing it until I had gone down the board game rabbit hole for a few years and played hundreds of modern board games.

I have one game signed, but not yet released, by a publisher, and another game was selected as a finalist in the Cardboard Edison design contest this year.

It's basically a lot more fun way to do system design. You can take a lot of the same processes and apply it to board game design.

Mindfulness is supposed to be a practice, and it's not necessarily an easy thing you can do with all benefits and minimal work. It's also deeply personal and not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing.

I think schools should treat meditation like prayer, because it's essentially the same function, and we should just avoid it in the classroom.

Perhaps the real tragedy here is that many students will learn about mindfulness in schools and dismiss it as useless nonsense, when there actually may be something of value in there somewhere.

Well you need to cut them some slack.

Schools, teachers and parents are in a very difficult position these days because of how fast things are changing. They are constantly overloaded with info about what's good for the kid. Even developmental psychologists,pedagogy experts and edu depts get overloaded and feel pressure to pass opinions on everything under the sun without serious evaluation. Learning takes Time. So evaluation of any method takes time. But the pressure to try X Y or Z builds up so quickly that anyone pushing back can easily be labeled a dinosaur and kicked out the room.

And its all happening in the useless attention arms race type environment the tech sector has created where what and who gets propped up depends on whose TED talk got more views, how much time they self promote, and 'what can scale faster'.

Such an environment will keep producing a whole lot of failed experiments.
>it was the infrequency with which you played them that >caused the negativity.

At UK highschool we were forced to play football once / twice a week.

All the kids who wanted to do this also played more through the week so they were good at it.

The once/twice a week-ers were rubbish and it was just not fun.

This is complete bullshit, you've obviously never had players on the team screaming at you to do something with the ball and then messing it up. These kids are not your 'comrades' they play with you once or twice a week then go back to class.

You can do all of this without team sports.
Put your bash code in functions
It would have been possible to include the ability to change algorithms in a handshake (agility).

But general current consensus in the cryptography and security community (which I don't agree with) is: "Agility is bad, hmkay". The reasoning is largely because there have been plenty of attacks based on downgrading protocols like TLS to broken crypto by an attacker. Also, the handshake mechanism necessarily enlarges the attack surface of your software, usually in a pre-auth part which is very problematic.

The counter-argument is of course that a lack of agility leads to lots of pain later on, when you need agility because your one chosen algorithm is broken.

There is also the added argument for not using SHA-1 in git: SHA-1 was already starting to "smell" when git was first implemented. Picking something else back then would at least have moved the current problems farther into the future, when SHA-2 might start to be problematic.
> never saw anyone get ostracized in a team unless they continually refused to be part of it.

This is the "I never see sexual harassment so it doesn't happen" argument applied to childhood bullying.

All education suffers from trying to motivate kids to do something voluntarily when really it isn't, but only in team sports is this enforced against the body.

(How well do schools handle gender mixed sport these days, or is there a strict partition still?)
