Thank you for taking the time to write this up, and the interesting anecdote.

What I don't see though, is how is making a (g)RPC call any different from making a REST call? Like you said, the REST call is supposedly more explicit, but at the end of the day, it seems more of a convention and some hard underlying difference. What's the difference between `httpClient.get("...")` and `grpcClient.foo(...)`?

First I don't think your Netscape on Mac argument holds up. The antitrust suit was about IE on Windows.

"[...] the U.S. government accused Microsoft of illegally maintaining its monopoly position in the PC market primarily through the legal and technical restrictions it put on the abilities of PC manufacturers (OEMs) and users to uninstall Internet Explorer and use other programs such as Netscape and Java." [0]

"The plaintiffs alleged that Microsoft had abused monopoly power on Intel-based personal computers in its handling of operating system and web browser integration. The issue central to the case was whether Microsoft was allowed to bundle its flagship Internet Explorer (IE) web browser software with its Windows operating system. Bundling them is alleged to have been responsible for Microsoft's victory in the browser wars as every Windows user had a copy of IE." [0]

I do agree that exclusive control may not be needed. However, Microsoft was engaging in other anti-competitive behavior. It's not like they're restricting Windows users to only use GitHub.

...and if you look at the second half of wherever you are quoting that from, you'll see that the person you're replying to is correct. Starlink is meant for rural customers, and according to Elon Musk himself it will not be "plenty good to replace anything else available out there for home internet" for urbanites.

> Despite that, the SpaceX CEO argued that Starlink won't be a major threat to telcos because the satellite service won't be good enough for high-population areas and will mostly be used by rural customers without access to fast broadband.

> The amount of bandwidth available will be enough to support typical Internet usage, at least in rural areas, Musk said.

> So will Starlink be a good option for anyone in the United States? Not necessarily. Musk said there will be plenty of bandwidth in areas with low population densities and that there will be some customers in big cities. But he cautioned against expecting that everyone in a big city would be able to use Starlink.

> Early in my career, I learned a simple 'demo day' rule: never demo things that aren't end-to-end done.

I take a different but similar approach when I run into situations where I want to get something small in front of a business user before it’s completely ready: I make sure it’s visibly broken in a way that doesn’t detract from my goal for the meeting.

For example: I have a registration form that I want to talk through. The state drop down will only have 3 entries, one validation error will always display, and on final submit you get a “failed” alert instead of a dummy page.

It lets me walk through the page and get whatever feedback I need, but it feels completely broken so non-technical users expect it to take more time to conplete.

Musk himself has said that Starlink is primarily meant for rural customers, and most urbanites should not expect to use it. He even specifically addressed that Starlink will not "stick it" to Comcast+co, and may actually "help" them.

> "I want to be clear, it's not like Starlink is some huge threat to telcos. I want to be super clear it is not," Musk said. "In fact, it will be helpful to telcos because Starlink will serve the hardest-to-serve customers that telcos otherwise have trouble doing with landlines or even with... cell towers."

> Starlink will likely serve the "3 or 4 percent hardest-to-reach customers for telcos" and "people who simply have no connectivity right now, or the connectivity is really bad," Musk said. "So I think it will be actually helpful and take a significant load off the traditional telcos."

You can do this but rebasing plays havoc on a lot of git integrations. Every time you insert a commit into an earlier spot, it changes the hash of every commit after it which has the potential to cause all kinds of problems for systems assuming git hashes are permanent.
The latter encourages you to model things as remote procedure calls, the former, well, in my experience it's open to incompetence and abuse, too, so... ehh... but done properly... well, go read the Roy Fielding paper :-)

I mean, internally at Google we have load balancing for grpc (I'm sure the outside world does now, too, but it was new to me when I joined) -- but load balancing HTTP requests containing readable JSON or XML documents, that's far more sysadmin friendly, wouldn't you say? Off the shelf infrastructure, nothing exotic, easier to monitor. Same goes for caching, for proxies, etc.

Being able to just stick a URL for a given resource in your browser, or hit it with wget/curl to read it, that's a serious bonus.

In general URLs follow conventions similar to those down by our Unix forefathers, when they designed the filesystem API. We are all familiar with this model. And in some ways REST done right is very Unix philosophy -- provide a consistent model upon which a bunch of little tools can interoperate.

Suppose you're at Uber, got your shares on IPO date (May 9) and sold 6 months later (~Nov 9), wouldn't the tax shenanigans be a wash for you? You were taxed when they vested, so the new cost basis would be the IPO price, and you'd get to claim a loss when you sold?

It's a little different if you held into 2020, though. Then you'd be on the hook for the higher taxes, but again, you should still be able to eventually claim the loss, so as long as you're in the same tax bracket, it'd be OK.
That's a bummer. You mentioned California specifically and one of the things discussed in the book is how charter schools in California specifically were neutered in important ways to basically remove their advantages; to remove what allowed charter schools to perform better anyway; to make them indistinguishable and therefore pointless. So it's no surprise any review of the performance of these specific schools would not be compelling.

But deeper than that I think you've adopted an awfully defeatist and close-minded opinion. You don't have to keep yourself updated or read new things, but you must also then admit that your understanding is not sufficient, and that your opinion may be uneducated. No matter how much you read of any topic, there is always more to learn and new perspectives to be shared. Especially with such a new, live topic.

I don't mean this meanly but it's certainly your loss. I hope you come around to open-mindedness again someday!
Well that's the point they're making: it's a downside that you can't call a function with a tuple as first argument. So it's supposed to be an argument, hence the space, but the interpreter is blind for that and takes it as 3 arguments. And frankly, I'd say the interpreter is right: anything else would leak to really freaky bugs that I don't with upon any beginning programmer. This also kind of makes me conclude that the whole idea is folly, it just causes ambiguity and doesn't really server any purpose whatsoever.

Intro to Logical Arguments for Programmers
The confusion might be around the term "patch". These can be sometimes be simple diff patches. Or they can be multi-step processes, including reboots, all wrapped up into a single "patch".

For example: https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/UCB/2.11BSD/Patch...

I recently updated from patch level 462 to 469 (the most recently patch available) and even with excellent documentation, it was an involved process. If you look all the way back to the first set of patches (https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/UCB/2.11BSD/Patch...) there isn't even documentation for the most part. Some diffs, some random tar files, and some "Remove everything above the #! /bin/sh line." patches.

I think there is a huge underlying assumption that given some data, building a model for it is trivial and can be done on the fly. I have seen the same kind of approach from people who have built toy models in 10 lines using pytorch and seem to equate fizzbuzz code for production code.

> A straightforward patch would be the introduction of FPTP

The US uses FPTP for most elections, that's actually central to the problem.

If you mean “a system approximating proportional repreaentation”, that's a valid fix, but problematic, both in terms of choosing the right one and the fact that doing so itself has ideological as well as functional impacts on outcomes, which means that the status quo faction which would ideologically be disadvantaged will be hard to sway no matter what the functional argument is. So you'd need unchallenged control by the opposing faction, which would have to be willing to surrender that control to a multiparty system which might be favorable ideologically, but not organizationally. And even that only is talking about the House. It's outright Constitutionally prohibited, even by Constitutional amendment, for the Senate.
Reiser pled not guilty and successfully eliminated all conclusive evidence of his guilt. After they convicted him anyway he disclosed the location of her shallow grave.

I don't think it's masking the issue with trivia at all. If you conspire to kill someone or indeed to commit any crime and your defense rests on a cute use of the law to remain technically on the side of the law while obviously trespassing beyond it you are only as safe as you can convince the jury you are.

If you are more interested in the actual law we could look at justice.gov

Rewrite Twitter to Improve Discourse
The general sentiment of discourse on Twitter seems to be at an all time low. It's an actively depressing place to spend any amount of time browsing. My question is, if Twitter could rewrite overnight, what fundamental changes should they make to the platform to make it a more pleasant place to exchange thoughts and ideas? Furthermore, what changes could be made to make the platform more open to civilised debate across a range of (potentially sensitive) topics?

I realise that hate is good for engagement, ideally any changes they made wouldn't affect this (else they wouldn't make them). I also realise that the average level of "pleasant" isn't a metric you can directly measure - so we could assume average positive sentiment per tweet.

On the second question let's assume you can measure ad hominem (somewhat possible: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P19-2028.pdf) and changes which minimise this are desirable.

The reason many people buy the full self driving package is so they can experience the latest state of the art autonomous driving software as Tesla develops it, and Tesla continues to deliver on that promise. Smart summon and stopping for traffic control were both added recently as software updates. Even more recently they’ve improved the lane keeping performance on curvy roads, which is something nobody really mentions. Many of the problems people talk about like Tesla’s swerving out of the lane have been greatly improved in recent updates.

There’s also the auto lane changes on the highway, which is really quite impressive to watch. Your car will automatically pass slow cars, move out of the passing lane when traffic clears up, and change lanes to follow your gps navigation. Not sure how you can call that vaporware.
>It's estimated that around 40% of people are asymptomatic, others do get varying degrees of sick after catching the coronavirus

Alright using your number the asymptomatic + mild symptom will make up the majority of the cases. Nothing to be worry about.

>Because it's highly contagious, it can very rapidly spread through an entire company and then we're back to where I just said

So what if it spread when the majority of the people will be fine.

>Where they have to shut down, sanitize the place and prevent people/customers from getting sick.

It is unnecessary to do so. Its excessive.

>Though given your posting history you seem to have a running theme going on of massively downplaying the virus and the fact that you put 'pandemic' in scare quotes indicates that you're probably just an asshole.

Because the reality is the virus is not as scary as the media reported. The lockdown is way more destructive than the virus itself.

Its your choice if you want to live in fear and paranoia.

Outline version of the article (no soft-paywall): https://outline.com/weVkXE
For anyone who has only used Microsoft dialect BASICs, seeing the original Dartmouth BASIC features might be surprising. I learned BASIC on a Wang 2200 computer (circa 1973), which followed Dartmouth BASIC pretty closely and added a ton of quirky Wang-specific features on top. The following, as far as I recall, would have been valid in the 1964 Dartmouth BASIC:

10 DIM A(5,5), B(5,5), C(5,5)
20 MAT READ A,B
30 DATA <a list of numbers for matrix A and B here>
40 MAT C=A*B:REM matrix multiply
50 MAT PRINT C:REM print the contents of C in five rows
60 MAT C=A*(2):REM scalar multiply
70 MAT C=A+B:REM matrix addition
80 MAT C=A-B:REM matrix subtaction
90 MAT C=TRN(A):REM matrix transpose
100 REM C=IDN:REM fill C with identity matrix
110 REM C=ZER:REM fill C with zeros
120 REM C=INV(A),D: REM invert A, and put determinant in variable D

By combining INV with matrix multiply, it was a snap to solve systems of linear equations. The examples above are all square matrices, but many of the actions worked on non-square matrices too. It was also possible to change the dimensions of a matrix so long as the total number of elements was the same or less than what was allocated by the original DIM statement.
> FPTP tends to lead to the same heavily divided two major party politics you already have, it just avoids the possibility of winning with <50% of the popular vote.

No, it doesn't. FPTP is a synonym for single-member plurality, which enables wins with less than 50% of the popular vote when there are more than two candidates.

You may mean majority-runoff (which the US already uses for a fair number of elections) or instant runoff, instead of FPTP, both of which require a kind of majority, but are otherwise very close to FPTP in their incentives and effects.
