I'm not sure I feel empowered by any scheme where I'm the marketable product.

Also, since they didn't bother to s/Libra/Diem that white paper is this just the same scheme with a different name? It's somewhat unclear.
I think the university must be risking something bad (such as legal consequences) if they felt that this type of obvious bad publicity was worth it. If they tell people to leave campus that’s as much as they can reasonably do.

The next step before wondering why someone used their keycard to access a building they shouldn’t be near could be just removing the access?

The best way to get people to leave has to be removing reasons to stay, for example access to campus resources.
> It’s really not abnormal to have to include parens after a method name in a language

That's not what he means. Assuming some pseudocode with a more common syntax to prune the parentheses question, Common lisp is doing this:

function f(x) { print(x) }
let a = f
funcall(a)(27) # prints 27

Whereas Scheme is doing this:

function f(x) { print(x) }
let a = f
a(27) # also prints 27

This is the fundamental difference between so-called Lisp-1 and Lisp-2 families, depending on whether functions and variable share the same namespace or if they have to be “lifted” from one to another through funcall.

>Writing free stuff works for a few people. Most people can't afford it. This means we'd end up with significantly fewer written works

You cant monitor and control what people read nor should you want to. The desired goal imho is to make available to the reader as much material as possible. Readers have finite funds (if any) You could similarly argue that if some 4% ends up with the writers most can't afford to write.

We buy lots of services. They should ideally never control us. If measuring talent is worth something the author can pay for it.

Your suspicion is right tho. Indeed I would prefer to see the entire industry die and switch to a basic income.

I get that people think if the music industry dies some will drop their instruments and stop singing. History was the other way around. When people got radios everyone stopped making music themselves. I think we don't even have to bother comparing it to the polished fast food. I liked how Prince put it: Finally people can make music for the sake of making music.
The preprocessor is still needed to implement a routine that allocates memory on the stack in a cross platform way.

Libra was interesting. With their basket of currencies and easily programmable contracts, it was a semi-unique project in crypto space.

Over the months, their ambition has been cut a lot by regulators. No more basket of currencies, now just US Dollar. At this point I'm not sure there's any benefit to it being on the blockchain either.
In my early 20's, which was the late 80's, I became friends with the same age son of the then CEO of DEC. About all I can say there is that larger extended family of their CEO and it looked like the entire social set of their C Suite was completely out of control with wealthy excess, including the CEO himself. Being the 80's, that wealthy excess was luxury goods, travel and expensive drugs. I remember his father learning I was a developer and saying he could get me in at good spot, and my thoughts were "and join your excess club? no thanks." FWIW, not a single person I knew from back then in that crowd is successful today.
A few years ago Herb Sutter proposed Python-like metaclasses in C++ through compile-time code generation. Not sure if anything has been proposed for general use.

The best thing about C++ preprocessor is that it is dumb. Text goes in, text goes out. Easy to debug, simple rules. Anything I saw as an alternative either requires a significant amount of code, bending C++ rules, or specialized tools to see what is going on.

Java tried so hard to "do the right thing" by abolishing the preprocessor, and we ended up with another preprocessor called IDE, unnecessary code patterns, and (oh my) Maven profiles for conditional compilation (among other things).
Nope, it could well be friend of a friend type of Chinese whispers thing. I can't remember the details now anyhow but I do remember my response as being a kind of "hmmmmm that's not really enough"

The mathematics being discussed here is very new, as well as very technical, and I would guess the number of people who really understand it at the moment is at most dozens; certainly fewer than hundreds.

I am certainly not one of those people. Nevertheless, I find this enormously exciting. Formalisation of mathematics has long been the preserve of a handful of logicians and type theorists. What we’re seeing here is one of the world’s leading mathematicians, whose work is situated squarely at the centre of what is today considered mainstream mathematics, advocating the importance of formalisation.

If, like me, you believe that formalisation will be an essential part of the mathematics of the future, this is a very encouraging development.
Missing the most important case: Some external library you need changes a function signature and you need to be able to compile against the old or the new library, eg:

#if LIBVERSION >= 2
draw_point (2, 3, RED);
#else
set_color (RED);
draw_point (2, 3);
#endif

This is actually a case where the C preprocessor would be useful in many more languages. OCaml has cppo which is like a better cpp and is very useful for solving these sorts of problems. (https://github.com/ocaml-community/cppo)
Very well done. Personally, I believe that resolving issues in a calm organized and firm way helps you as well.

I recall one of my bosses telling me if you want to fire off an angry response, close your computer and take a walk outside. This works, I would come back and write a calm but firm email. Angry responses typically do not help.

Not touching the rest of their comment, but I think they mean "except at one [illumination] frequency": that is to say, they emit nothing until you transmit them energy at a specific (usually microwave) frequency, and then they reflect/modulate it back out, carrying the audio data. They are passive/unpowered otherwise.

tl;dr: Yes

Despite the author clearly disliking the preprocessor, for justified reasons, most of the article is about how essential it still is.
GCC's cp/pt.c is around 30k lines. But I don't expect the implementation of templates to be this localized, sure, most of it is probably in that module, but a lot will be strewn about the code base, too.
Which eventually spread across the world at a slower rate. But not one time did any government shutdown happen. Nor did anyone wear a face mask and people kept on conducting daily life. Because during 1969 when that pandemic happened Woodstock was wide open. Still only 100k people died in America at that time. And today you have mass media control of the masses saying COVID is so deadly. Get the fuck outta here.

> Whether you try to block or ignore the ads as much as possible isn’t really the point.

I think that it is. If you're blocking them, you're getting whatever you want from the website without the downside of the ads. If you're putting up with the ads, that's a bit closer to a hostage situation. Same with LinkedIn - as long as you're using it in a way that's okay with you, I don't see a problem.

Judging from the downvotes when suggesting to selectively disable js, that crowd is a small minority.
On the other hand, the preprocessor is so dumb that having a normal variable or enum named "OK" or "STATUS" is a risk, even if all of your dependencies are clean. All it takes is a user to include your header and some header that #defines any name in your header to be something else.

So that means you really need to name your preprocessor symbols (and any other all-caps names, because that's the convention) in ways that probably won't collide. Like MYLIB_OK.

So it starts off dumb, but then you have to start layering on convention and defensive programming immediately. And it complicates entire other features of the language, naming constants and enumerated values especially.
tbh this non-transparent editing of titles etc. is kind of distracting. It would be much better if they could leave a comment with the change they make.
I enjoyed the slight ambiguity of the title, like you I was expecting some whiny article about how someone should've gotten 1st but was pleasantly surprised by a thorough and well-written analysis instead.

Was there ever any benefit to using a blockchain - other than marketing BS, of course? It was always Facebook (or their chosen partners) who controlled the coin, so the blockchain was pointless - there never was any decentralized trust, as I understand it?
Oh. That new title obfuscates the fact that Facebook is still behind this, imo, although the old wording was awkward
That "unified" splash screen is menacing. A constant reminder that wherever you turn, it's a FB property.

With Google/Apple/Microsoft it's quite straightforward, everything they make is clearly their style, their brand. This is not the case with Facebook's properties, they don't have a unified design language or branding. So adding a unified splash is a step in "marking it's territory", I just hate the feeling of that.

I used to walk 5 to 10 miles a day, every single night, to clear my head and think about things.

One night, on a drinking holiday, I was ran over from the back (while on the sidewalk/side of street, mind you) while on my nightly walk, and crippled permanently by a hit-and-run driver that was never found. (C5 level non-complete quadriplegia)

I miss my walks immensely. They used to put my mind at ease like nothing I have found since.

No point in this comment other than to express my envy towards those can enjoy such a hobby still , and to express a bit of loneliness and hard-to-reconcile personal emotions when told the benefits of walking.

I know, already! I wish I could!

I was very fit my entire life through very little additional effort other than nightly walks & some lucky genetics -- although unfortunately those hobbies landed me into a net-negative position -- I suggest the hobby to anyone that has a few minutes to spare a day.

I hope that pedestrian safety and road design continues to improve.

There were some interesting ideas about decentralized management of "treasury" (and issuing/burning of Libra coins), mostly related to the "basket of currencies" model. I think that will stay even with value only being pegged to the US Dollar, but there is less need for that.
Can someone give me a quick rundown of Facebook's involvement? I get that they are the driving force behind it but what does it mean in practice? Do they have any power over the currency and its flow? Is Facebook governing the currency? Are there privacy concerns and if so, how do manifest in practice? Is it tied to Facebook stock or something, if not then what's the point?

It's well known that Windows' default behavior of hiding file extensions is bad for security (lookatme.jpg.exe). But I suspect the real reason Microsoft has kept this default over the years is that it prevents users from accidentally breaking the file association when they rename the file.

All of which just further supports the author's assertion that filename extensions are the wrong way to do file types/associations.

IMHO #include for making declarations visible to other compilation units is the one big feature where ditching the preprocessors makes sense, at least in C++ where headers contain both declarations and implementation code (it's not as critical for C). Simply being able to include a file anywhere in the source is still useful (simply as a generic text-processing feature) so #include shouldn't be removed if sharing declarations if solved differently (for instance through a module system).

Same with #define, no harm in adding actual constants to the language since it's a simple, straightforward and expected feature. But that's no reason getting rid of #define because that's also useful as a catch-all text replacement which doesn't work on the language-level (and that's useful in many situations).
Honestly? I don't have much experience with ML and in particular issues of bias in ML (though I have a general understanding of a lot of the former), so I don't really feel qualified to evaluate her more recent work, but her older stuff definitely appeared like what I'd expect from a machine learning practitioner, so I don't think attacking her as someone that only understands social sciences (which I perceived the parent as doing) to be fair.

Incredible story! The DEC Alpha that eventually emerged was ultimately responsible for Linux universality in the mid-1990s. As Linux was originally written to take advantage of 68k based home PCs like the Atari and Amiga. DEC basically gifted one to the Helsinki CS dept in hopes they would port a free unix to it. The environment back then for workstations was wonderfully heterogeneous: HP Apollo, SGI, Sun, DEC and even the NeXT Color Cube all tried to differentiate and dominate. But were all subsumed by commodity x86 Linux on PCI architecture and the explosion of web servers running apache ;)

LinkedIn is fine provided you follow some very simple rules.

1) never use the social features like the timeline. Don’t post things, don’t comment on things. It’s just a bad Facebook for people with ties trying to become workfluencers. People who think that by promoting their employers blog post they’ll rise in the ranks (and they probably will but I don’t want any part of that charade).

2) Only only ever connect with people you work or worked with. Never recruiters. Recruiters want to build a huge network of random people, and it ruins the fundamental idea where I can see if I actually have someone with a work relationship at a company.

3) Don’t reply to messages from people not in your network. Either connect with them (if not recruiters) or ignore. Do not say “no thanks” or “not interested”.

4) Disable all mail notification. You likely get enough email.

Using it like this, I find it’s a pretty simple way to keep track of where my past colleagues are, without being spammed by recruiters or having to wade through message spam in LinkedIn. I check in a few times per year to see what old friends are up to.

Only tangentially related, but it's odd that there are two opposing parties with opinions that mirror each other in a particular way, which is that they are both frustrated that the other side isn't willing to play fast and loose with their preferred solution.

There is one side that favors herd immunity (sometimes anti mask sentiment gets mixed in here, but it doesn't belong), a la the Great Barrington Declaration. They are playing fast and loose with lives, understanding that, once the wildfire rages through, causing an unprecedented loss of life, the remaining population will be genetically predisposed against the virus.

The other side is playing fast and loose with regulations in the way you just described, because of the tremendous potential loss of life if we do not.

I don't pretend these are the same, but they do have similarities. And I believe the healthy thing to do is to come to grips with that as a people and have a public conversation about it.
