I was also around at the time. Chrome's performance and features were what made it popular with "power users", but they're only a fraction of the market.

Businesses were slow to transition thanks to dependence on IE features and, in my experience, most "casual" users could not be bothered to install a new browser.

When I'm talking about Chrome's dominance, I'm talking about their dominance across the whole market.

It took a long time for me to convince my parents to switch to Chrome. Now I'm running into the same difficulty trying to convince them to switch away from it. I really think that kind of dominance had less to do with performance and features, and more to so with familiarity.
This is essentially the theory of multiple discovery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery), as opposed to the heroic theory of discovery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroic_theory_of_invention_and...).

Additionally, I think the "inevitability of discovery" is more true now than it has ever been. In the early 1830s there were relatively few young naturalists and geologists looking at the islands and species of the south Pacific that were well positioned to develop a theory of evolution by natural selection. Today, looking at comparable questions, there are a great deal more young scientists competing to answer those questions.

One thing that I think the original comment and this response both point out is that we as a society could still do a much better job of encouraging young thinkers towards challenging and meaningful problems, despite the fact that we do a much better job of it relative to the early 1830s. This encouragement influences not whether the problems get solved, but how quickly.

Should you have to compete for your wage in comparison to individuals from a foreign country with a much lower cost of living? For the most part you can't change your cost of living.

I think most highly successful people sacrifice time with their young families for more time later, assuming it works out.

For many, they don't want to sacrifice this. For example, I won't, even if I _really_ want to. So if I want to succeed, I need to optimize the heck out of the free time I _do_ have.

Right on, man. I'm following the same path--couldn't afford college, decided to start a business, then freelance, then became a yuppie, then started living in my car to write software, started selling it, and now I'm making money (minimum wage, at-least) writing the software I want to. I've so-far released an OS and desktop sync client for this weird tablet, and now I'm writing a libre handwriting recognizer.

If you have faith in yourself, and follow your spirit, you can be successful and not accountable to anyone--complete intellectual and creative freedom. However, it does require some nerve to stand against the corporate machine.

Not only that, but Java's reflection features opened the door for a huge, vibrant modding community that is arguably one of the largest among any PC game.

Very early in Minecraft's development, people were already decompiling/modifying/injecting their own mods, and a lot of frameworks (Bukkit, Spigot, etc.) emerged to provide a common API for modding.

The large modding community arguably had a very positive impact on Minecraft's early success -- Although I don't have any quantitative metrics to reinforce that point, I fondly remember early Minecraft as having a relatively technical community that tinkered with the game as a sandbox for countless custom experiences.

> Imagine if a president after Lincoln decided that they were going to reverse the Emancipation Proclamation. Would they be in authority to do so? Probably. But you're taking away rights at that point.

The emancipation proclamation was in no way a binding document. It was simply a "proclamation" of the stated position of the executive branch regarding slavery during Lincoln's administration, that they would cease to recognize its' legitimacy as law. The 13th amendment, (an act of congress which created a new law), legally freed the slaves. DACA is a very similar situation. An executive may choose which laws to prioritize for enforcement, and in this case that's exactly what Obama did. The president cannot, however, enforce a law that does not exist or that he wishes existed, which Trump is attempting to here.
I'm in violent agreement with Colin here. I have had far more opportunity to do seriously novel work on hard hitting problems in industry than I could ever accomplish in academia. And I have an academic appointment. Which, in pandemic land, pretty much means I have a .edu email address that I also have to attend to.

On the industry side, I generate and move data at scale and my teams produce industrial strength models where the SoTA won't be attempted again for years, if ever. Household brands are changing their businesses based on we've done so far, and we're just getting started.

The academic system is not where you go to have staggering impact in your lifetime. $500k or $1M a year isn't how innovation scales. Eisenhower didn't pay 100 labs $5M each to come with possible ballistic missile designs. He told Bennie Schriever: I need to deliver a payload to Moscow in 30 minutes, gave him $500M, and kept everyone out of Schriever's business.

And, have a read of Rickover: http://ecolo.org/documents/documents_in_english/Rickover.pdf

Finally, I would point to the real meat of Colin's experience: if you take on a problem, one problem, like really take it on and try to develop it, you will find 100 PhDs worth of work in short order. Mind-breakingly hard problems abound when you actually try to solve hard problems in the world.

the bigger issue is around the combination of closures, generic parameters, and traits. because higher-rank types can't be expressed and closures are all `impl Fn()`, you start to get an explosion in the complexity of managing the types and implementing the trait. try implementing something in the "finally tagless" style for an example of the kinds of things that can go wrong really fast. `Box` and `Rc` don't get you out of it and the resulting implementation is brittle and boiler-plate heavy in actual use.

from memory:

trait Prop<'a, T> {
fn p<F: Fn(&'a T) -> bool>(f: F) -> Self;
fn eval(&self, &'a T) -> bool;
}

enum LiftedBool<'a, T, F: Fn(&'a T) -> bool> {
Base(Box<F>),
And(LiftedBool<'a, T, F>, LiftedBool<'a, T, F>),
Or(LiftedBool<'a, T, F>, LiftedBool<'a, T, F>),
Not(LiftedBool<'a, T, F>),
}

impl<'a, T, F: Fn(&'a T) -> bool> Prop<'a, T> for LiftedBool<'a, T, F> {
fn p<F: Fn(&'a T) -> bool>(f: F) -> Self {
// this fails because `F` in the impl doesn't necessarily unify with `F` in the trait definition
// it can be made to work with `dyn` for the function argument but requires boilerplate to actually use
}

fn eval(&self, &'a T) -> bool {
// obvious evaluation by cases
}
}

this example can be fixed to work via `dyn` for the argument on the trait function and the struct itself but it becomes increasingly painful to actually work with. this kind of generic work is not at all ergonomic but very easy in Haskell.
You chose a bad example.

That's not quite correct. If you apply for a $10k loan from a bank then, once the loan is approved, the bank will simultaneously:

- increase your current account balance by $10k (credit your current account)

- increase your loan account balance by $10k (debit your loan account)

That $10k deposit appeared from nowhere. You didn't 'put the deposit in', and it wasn't transferred from another customer or another bank. And the bank does not need to have $10k sourced from somewhere else.

Of course, when you want to withdraw that that $10k, or transfer it to someone who uses a different bank, the bank will have to come up with $10k from somewhere.

But maybe whatever they are called up to transfer to customers of other banks will be balanced out by transfers from other banks' customers to their own.

Not that I would (or have) tried either idea, but you'd still need USCIS to grant you a TN visa that's tied to your employer, and I imagine it would be tougher if it was a no name or self made company.

In fact, for your own company, I think that's a different kind of visa, but I'm not very well versed in immigration law.
> They also change your behavior in somewhat indirect ways with the goal that you continue to engage with their platform more and more

How is this different than any other kind of media like TV, magazines, newspapers, etc.? All of them are trying to make their product engaging so that you consume more of their media and more of their ads. Just because those services also charge a subscription fee, doesn't change the dynamics of what they're trying to do. Social media has maybe just been more successful in doing so, partially because

> The fact that we bring our phone everywhere, that there are push notifications

So the dynamics have always existed in previous platforms, it's just been ratcheted up to a higher level with social media.
It’s been a while since I had checked, so I’m glad to see it’s filled out a lot more. It seems like the language evolution has slowed down a bit too.

I was in a roughly similar situation, I got a job as a (pretty junior) management consultant. Learned a lot about how different businesses work but had to deal with being bossed around by people 10yrs younger than me and realize that nobody cared about whatever specialized knowledge I had from my PhD. (To be clear, this was probably the best thing for me to break out of the bubble I was in).

The big upside was that it was a job that you don't need any specific credentials to get, and it gave me the perspective and "soft skills" - really just learning how to work in a team outside an academic setting - to get a tech job that could use some of my academic background as well as the business experience I had.
This is something I worked on developing in my 20s. For me, what worked was finding an "ethical role model" -- someone who acts ethically and has a good sense of right & wrong -- and trying to model my choices based on what I thought that person would choose. Sometimes this would literally involve asking them "what do you think I should do?" and sometimes I'd just try to infer.

My ethical role model was my younger brother, who is one of the best people I know, and is someone who always seemed to have a good sense of "you shouldn't do that" or "this is the right thing to do, even if it's hard".

I committed to evaluating my decisions based on "what would my brother think of this" and I'm very proud to say that now, in my early 30s, I consider myself to be a very ethical person who does the right thing most of the time, even when it's inconvenient, and even when it's hard. I definitely could not have said that about myself a decade ago.

No idea if that will work for others, but it definitely worked for me!
I am helping keep it by taking the time to test my websites in all the browsers I can get my hands on, including classics such as Netscape, IE, Mosaic, Lynx, and Opera (pre-WebKit).

It takes a bit of work, but I am not under any deadlines, because I only work on personal projects.

HTML is very special in its flexible parsing without compilation errors, and I want to do as much as I can to preserve it.

JavaScript is different, because it evolved when browser competition was already in effect, so there was motivation to display errors when the page was written in the wrong flavor, as was practiced by Netscape from the beginning, and joined by IE in this practice.

HTML and HTTP is also special in that they are both human-readable and human-writeable, the former even by non-specialists.

There are not many computer languages out there that have a loose grammar like HTML and HTTP. We have a real gem on our hands, and it would be smart to hold on to it.
Heh, I completely forgot about that.

Well, I'm now 39, and still stutter when I'm nervous, but I'm slightly less socially awkward. I'm still diabetic -- no cure for that yet, sadly -- and overweight, but I've been getting more exercise and am somewhat more fit.

> So if I want to succeed, I need to optimize the heck out of the free time I _do_ have

I'm kind of the opinion that there is no such thing as optimizing your time, only the way you distribute your energy and focus.

Allocating time to do something is meaningless if you've already spent all your mental energy on other tasks.

For most people, free time = a break. So if you're already using 100% of your energy on other things and also expect to be productive in your free time... I'm don't think it adds up.
That's exactly what I meant. C++ is a hard language and it doesn't pretend it's easy. Go is also somewhat hard but it really pretends it's easy.
> Does this user-visible filesystem allow me to just copy over my entire music library (which is files and directories, and no knowledge of apple/itunes/ios)

Sort of. Each app has the equivalent of a folder. You could use the Files app to copy a directory tree of music files from a remote server, into the folder of a music-playing app (e.g. Flacbox, Nplayer). Then all the files are "local" to the app. This assumes the copy doesn't fail, e.g. several GB over a flaky network, as the Apple-native Files app can't resume a copy, and will abort on every duplicate.

> and then let itunes browse it, locally on the phone ?

The on-device music app from Apple conflates downloadable iTunes-purchased files with streaming Apple Music. It does not play local files AFAIK. But you can use several third-party apps to play music & video.

The challenge is keeping the device and remote server in sync :) Hence GoodReader, which does a decent job of file synchronization within the constraints of a non-Apple app. It can also play music and videos, but doesn't have all the bells & whistles of a dedicated media app like nPlayer. But then those apps don't have file sync.

While apps (e.g. media players or editors) can edit-in-place or view-in-place files within other apps (e.g. storage providers like GoodReader), this doesn't seem to support the ability to maintain a continuous mirror view / symbolic link on a directory tree from GoodReader into nPlayer.

Other apps for an iCloud-free iPhone: 2Do (CalDav sync), local scraper/search DevonThink 2 Go (Webdav sync), Secure Shellfish (local access to remote files via SSH), HereWeGo (formerly Nokia offline maps), iCatcher (podcasts), Codebook (password manager with native sync to Mac), Kiwix (offline wikipedia/stackoverflow).
Yes, all of those scenarios will be easier with what we are building.
