Rise and Fall of the Great Powers (Book Review)
It doesn't surprise me because we are supposed to expect commonly used programming languages to receive optimizations. If we didn't follow this logic there would be no reason to optimize C. Instead each processor company would optimize for their own proprietary language and expect everyone to use the proprietary language for high performance needs.

No it doesn't... but it's far less likely to occur. Web development practices usually avoid this problem as state is handled externally.

Do people make much of a revenue from posting their articles on Medium? I don't get the appeal if you want to "share" a story but actually a good part of your potential readership either can't read it, or hate Medium enough that they won't even open the link.

Just seems simpler to post on a Gist or anywhere really. But maybe I'm missing something and people are actually earning some money from posting on Medium.
I have an Excel spreadsheet I update on a daily basis and opening it in LibreOffice crashes 100% of the time.

Thankfully WPS Office works with it fine, and allowed me to remove Microsoft from my workflow completely.

(Windows 10 and it's updates, telemetry, no-notification update reboots, and unexplained slowness for me to finally migrate fully to desktop Linux).

GDPR is not about advertising, so you can put a billion ads if you want just don't track me behind my back then share this data with 100+ companies so now they all know all y activity on the internet.

GDPR should not dictate how you implement ads, if you want targeted ads then maybe the industry needs to implement them respectfully, the user would opt=in, connect his browser with FB,Google,Twitter and then he will get targeted stuff. They could make a browser, DRM-it to shit and if you use that browser you get less ads but all of them are targeted and ever click in that browser is tracked, it would be an opt-in stuff where you sell your browsing activity for ad-points that you can spend on different websites to read articles.

We need strong laws because the industry is fucking the users, they sell you products like a TV or an OS but they still want to make a few more cents so they continue to track you and sell your data to advertisers.

IMO advertising is mostly manipulation, make people buy expensive diamonds or expensive clothing or phones when they don't have too, I would be curious if we could create a economy simulator and ban all advertising like it was done for cigarettes and see what happens.
Was three months of review work for us at the time, one person doing most of the work with support from three others for implementation. Bar Google, which is understandable, I'm not sure I understand why you would have an issue with the other stuff

Ubuntu is a product of a private company (Canonical Ltd), I expect them to have marketing department [1].

There are 443 Canonical employees [2] and 13400 Red Hat employees [3]. I've heard "Red Hat" a lot in presentations of core stack - X, Cairo, Pango. Linux kernel contribution by company — Red Hat 8%, no Canonical [4]. Ubuntu made upstart, mir, unity, now snap. Red Hat made systemd and flatpak.

Ubuntu experiments with users more than Arch Linux does. It is among the first on pulseaudio, systemd, wayland. Some reverted, some lived through. It is not stable. So why is Ubuntu user friendly?

Also I do think the 3d voxel reconstruction approach and the nerf approach solves different goals. I didn't read the original nerf paper thoroughly but AFAIK the network learns to interpolate between the photos in a beautiful, smooth way, but the voxel representation would allow a lot of other reconstructions.

I think it goes against common Polish mentality. Consensus is rare. Compromise is often called a "rotten compromise", there's a concept of "having right" which implies only one person. Swedes have a phrase "Polish parliament" to describe a fruitless, noisy argument. Second, Poles often see things they find as windfall rather than items lost by people with feelings.

Something unique to Poland is meme pictures with proboscis monkeys. They poke fun at perceived national vices. You might want to do image search for "nosacz".

I do have experience. It's my main language and my current job. C++ really sucks to work with for a developer even with types.

For building cloud services where apps are bottlenecked by the database, the user experience is roughly the same as C++ but the developer experience with python is much much much more easier.

This attitude where consumers have to run the apps or install a runtime to run the app on there personal machines is much more rare nowadays.
I general I agree with your broader point about when to select dynamic language, flow state etc., and specifically with C, C++, Rust (although of those I haven’t done C++ in years except to tweak others’ code). However I find D can be written in a very script like manner, using the GC. Only when chasing performance do I need to go GC-free. The fast compilation means I can iterate as fast as python, and it has replaced a lot of python in our group.

Side note,I would like to learn OCaml and am interested you drew a distinction between Haskell (former group) and OCaml (latter group).
So far I've not found SwiftUI usable for my work at my (large well known) employer. I like some of the concepts, but it's insufficient to actually use for our apps. Instead my team built a component system on top of UIKit that gives us the benefits of easier to build UI, without the "holy" and incomplete design of SwiftUI. Having Swift has allowed this work to be easy to construct and extremely type safe, and gives us the benefits of being able to do more work with fewer people, which was sort of the goal of SwiftUI, but in a more compatible way.
I'm starting to think that the proliferation of DDoS protection from big cloud providers is actually driving an arms race in the scale of these attacks, and making in the end things worse for everyone except the biggest providers.

This is amazing. Thanks for pointing out knime. There were so many occasion since and including uni where I wish I could've used that.
> I.e. why cant The New York Times call themselves a platform and just post whatever they want? Where would you draw the line?

IANL even if they called themselves a platform they would still be acting as a publisher and the law would treat them as such. For example they would be editing and curating content, paying for content from writers, and making the material available under their own name.

Wasnt there something about Ted Bundy being the first case or case of its type on camera? So they were not always on camera.

I'm not an expert at all, but I think C++ as a language is fine.
It's the build and linking step that really frustrates me. Especially in this post Ruby, module and package age.

CMake helps, but the fact that it's been around for 20+ years, and is still the best tool of it's kind, is food for thought.
Or change up address?
You are right about PHP vs C++. But C++ is too easy a target.

I dislike PHP just as much as the next guy, but I am quite impressed with how Hack turned out. It's Facebook's improved PHP. See eg https://hacklang.org/

It's not that Hack is a good language in absolute terms. But I think it's about the best language they could have come up with when starting from PHP.

(For a better comparison instead of C++, but still in similar spirit to C++, perhaps take D.)

> This means [it eliminated] literally a third of the time allocated for the Census Bureau to knock on doors, to try to enumerate the hard-to-count individuals, which happen to be African Americans, Latinx populations, immigrants, people in heavily transitory situations, tribal lands, some Asians.

Random question but why would some races have more trouble than others responding to the census? Is it more to do with poverty than race? Or is there a cultural distrust of the census that aligns with race?

Well, you sure can write plain HTML pages without any of the above, just like you can write desktop applications using Assembly. But does it make sense? Not really.

Also, it's simply not true that you can specify all rendering information in HTML, there are a lot of things like media queries or pseudo-class selectors like ":hover" that can't be inlined and need to reside in a stylesheet.
I don’t understand some of the comments—-

It’s a quote from the past. It is eloquently written in a long tradition of dystopian prose.

What’s striking is Sagan speaking to the magical thinkers of his time, and trying to shock them by the change he envisions (duh—it is a scary picture).

And what we have today are literate moderates who gave up on democracy after Nixon was pardoned, shocked into consciousness.

One of the problems with Excel is that it is just shy of being inauditable.

Excel is a great 'programming language' to quickly _write_ business applications. Especially for relative lay-people.

But Excel is almost impossible to _read_. And it's very hard to make changes, or track them sensibly.

I am so tired of hearing what CEO's want. As a worker bee, I want to work from home. I want human contact with my family and friends. Co-workers, not so important.

Not to mention, I don't have to spend hours every day in traffic driving too and from work, I don't have to pay for the gas, it doesn't pollute the environment and not to mention, I don't have to sit in a cubicle that recirculates air to the point that when one person gets sick, the whole floor falls like dominoes.

So instead of whining like a bunch of petulant children about how there's no "creative combustion", these overpaid complainers need to suck it up and do what's best for the mental and physical health of the people that work for them, and do what's best for the communities who's resources they consume to generate a profit. Just sayin..
> I can't wrap my mind around why would anyone pay for what are you doing, let alone so many people.

Support is one thing.

Let's say you have a $100 course where you build something real in the end. Not only do you get fully working code (which could easily save you 100+ hours of dev time) but you also get direct access to the author to ask questions. At least that's what I do in my own courses (I offer (24/7 - sleeping hours) support).

Sure the fully working code that gets continuous updates is nice on its own but think how expensive it would be if you wanted to hire someone to do 1 on 1 help with you as you learn something new from various blog posts and scattered Youtube videos. You could easily spend $100-200 an hour for that and it would be less effective because the person you're paying likely didn't write the material you're learning from.

For a lot of folks $100 is well worth saving an endless amount of nights of furiously Googling around on how to troubleshoot things. Especially if they have a family or are trying to ship whatever they want to build as soon as possible.

With enough persistence you might be able to battle through that on your own, especially if it's a well explored technology that's been around for a long time but we all have limited time. If you value spending 50 hours of your own time instead of spending $100 then you're right, you're probably not the target audience for buying courses.

For me it's been elementary OS. It's based on Ubuntu (so any Ububtu-related issues are easy to search and find a fix for), and the family loves our cheap laptop running it.
I think that title is more fitting.
Yeah also having worked more with Rust, it seems that a lot of the features added to Swift recently could be covered by decent meta-programming support.

That said, automatic differentiation could be a game-changer and should absolutely be included in the core language.
That's interesting. So, personal story time: I used to have a pretty scarily good memory. But as I get older I find that I only think that I still have a good memory. Every day there is evidence that it isn't nearly as good as it used to be and if there is anything that scares me about getting older it's that.

Some parts of what you write remind me of stuff I've read about flying an airplane: never let the airplane get ahead of you. In music that would be 'never let the music get ahead of you', once it does the cognitive overload becomes overwhelming.

Then: I listen a lot to the pieces that I want to play, over and over again, until I have the music in my head and then playing piano becomes a lot more like singing, instead of memorizing the movements you memorize the music and playing then becomes actual playing, you now have time and braincycles to spend on making it sound nice rather than just what to play and when. I only have a few pieces in my very limited repertoire at that level but the difference is huge with the remainder, I can make them sound in whatever way I want, I can vary them when and where I want to play variations on the entire piece by changing style and so on. That is what playing piano to me is all about and I intend to spend a lot of time on reaching that kind of proficiency with more music to broaden the range a bit.

I wished I had some tip to help you, also, I'd love it if you gave the software a spin and let me know if there is a way that I can improve it so that it does help you, if that requires setting up a trial version then I'm all for it. Let me know if you're up for this. best regards, Jacques

'Emil i Lönneberga' (Michel aus Lönneberga) is another great one.

Try telling today's parents to let their five year old carve wooden figures. Unsupervised.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_i_L%C3%B6nneberga

> With most pranks, Emil escapes his father's wrath by running away and locking himself into a tool shed. Since the door can also be locked from the outside, his father locks him in there for a while as punishment. Emil is usually embarrassed by what he has done, but this is not a severe punishment for Emil, who likes sitting in the shed and takes to carving a wooden figure during each of his stays. He eventually accumulates 369 of them, except for the one that his mother buries because she claims it looks too much like the rural dean. Emil is clever and creative and tends to think in unconventional ways that adults are liable to misunderstand.
This has nothing to do with presumption of innocence. Presumption of innocence means that you are considered innocent until legally proven guilty in court. It is a very fundamental value of a democratic justice system that guarantees that you can defend yourself of accusations and you are free of the arbitrariness of prosecutors and public opinion. If you undermine that out of an emotional reaction to some event you risk creating much more harm, by sending many innocents in jail and generally instilling distrust in the society, than you will prevent.

Also, what do you propose? If it is not necessary to be declared legally guilty anymore, then what? The color of your skin? The mood of the prosecutor and judge? The number of times you are presented before the court? What if the cops don't like you? What if you are accused without proof and without mean to exonerate yourself?

The cases you describe of people committing 47 offenses (with no conviction you say, so the justice system decided that they were not actually offenses, Yet you are here claiming that they are without any knowledge of the facts) and then going to kill someone are very very rare. You can't have a 100% failure-proof system without complete totalitarian control over everyone in the population. Many of these people are just insane, they're not the organized terrorist group types, and the justice system is not equipped to deal with mental health issues. When it tries you end up with people in psychiatric internment for years and years without trial and with little recourse, which is another tragedy.
