One thing I've thought would be useful to have is a combined debugger/logging system. I work on SQL Server and we rely heavily on dumps to figure out what happened when something goes wrong. However, that only tells you what happened at a given point of time. Obviously recording all the system state over time would be too expensive and logs can be difficult to decipher due to their volume and lack of (explicit) connection with source code.

What I'd love to see is a logging framework which records the values of program specified variables while running as well as the current stack trace plus a monotonic time so you can piece together what happens through a thread of execution over time. However, unlike traditional logging, it would be connected to the source code like how a debugger works so you could mouse over a variable to see its state over time.

Honestly it'd be really cool with a tracing system like this to be configurable without modifying source as well. Maybe trace specific functions by noting the stack trace and arguments when invoked as well as the return value.
There's no real ligature for those, but those characters don't really take up any unnecessary whitespace. Combining low and high punctuation marks makes more sense. You could try to turn "! into a well-kerned '!', with he quotation marks very close to the exclamation point, but for the question mark such a system would probably not work.

That said, perhaps there's something to be found in other languages. Some quote with «quote», some with “quote”, others with „quote“, and there's many other variations. I can see how ligatures can work with constructions such as ¿question? can have the quotation makes placed closer in the beginning of the question marks, especially with the slow change from the angled brackets to the English quotation marks in some Spanish speaking countries.

You're cutting off your nose to spite your face. I don't see why you can't just ask for what you want. When you found out about your friend why not just ask for the same from your manager?

True, you really only have to worry about it if you're writing or editing for a teacher or publisher who wants you to adhere to some specific style. The real annoying thing for me (as an American) was having different teachers teach different things in school. (Same with double spaces between sentences in typing and the oxford comma.) At least when the teacher used a style guide, there was a source of consistency I could turn to, even if I disagreed with them.
This is great. There are so, so many instances I've found just in the past couple months where a question would have an extremely outdated (or just plain bad to begin with) accepted answer, with a good answer that has more votes just below it.

Kicking people that can't land an internship is a pretty good way to filter out students that won't perform well in the workplace.

> Many, many big companies offer internships to Waterloo coops students in the fall and winter. I'm not sure if other students are ever available at these times.

From my experience hiring, most target schools don't offer every classes at every semester (they are just too small). So taking a fall/winter internship can delay graduation by a whole year.

So I used to get flooded by resumes from Waterloo for the fall and winter because they were the only ones to apply (coupled with the school being larger than my usual target schools combined together!).
There have always been elites. There will always be elites. The question is, can we afford the rent overhead of our current elites in return for the stability they provide? If not, then a new elite will seize the opportunity and replace them. I'd wager the dissatisfaction with "productivity and growth" is an expression of frustration with a high rent-overhead from a rent-seeking elite, which has ceased to do what made them the elite in the first place.
No risk, no progress.
Here's something that's telling.

In the USA average wealth per adult is one of the highest in the world. This measures the wealth of a persons assets (car, home, etc.) minus their debts.

But the median wealth for the USA is much further down the list. The median is the midpoint so it excludes outliers like Bezos. It's common for Americans to boast about how rich they are but the honest truth is my home country Australia has a median wealth that's 3x greater than the USAs.

The difference in wealth between the typical USA resident and an Australian resident is the same as the difference between a USA resident and a Chinese resident.

Australian adult median wealth (USD $238k)

USA adult median wealth (USD $79k) not poor but definitely not at the top. Slighly below Taiwan and South Korea.

China adult median wealth (USD $24k) a similar difference.

Honestly as an Australian living in the USA it does show. I get rather annoyed when a USA resident boasts about wealth. You have massive loans dickhead. You should have been fighting this problem and instituting 0% tax for the lowest wage earners like Australia did 40 years ago. You should have increased taxes on the rich. You should have increased minimum wage.

But you didn't. And now your average American wealth, whilst not yet bad is below countries such as South Korea and Taiwan that have troubling neighbors that justify huge defence budgets. It's below Italy's which has long suffered corruption in politics. It's below Spains despite Spain being the cheap holiday destination for the wealthier European nations.

Stop fucking around and fight the fight you should have fought 20 years ago.

As many cars as there are, there are far, far more people. There's a lot of cars, but not 8.4 million of them.

Of those cars, a fair few are mass transit: taxis and ride-sharing. NYC is a pedestrian mecca, but it's still not perfect, and so cars are still the best way to get medium distances. You walk shorter distances, and the subway is faster for long ones, but for that common middle range, a car is going to be faster and easier. It's just increasingly rare for you to own one.

A lot of the remaining cars are commuters, who would rather pay a ton of money move about with the Great Unwashed. It's slower, too, because the bridges and tunnels are jammed. But they own cars in the burbs, and the alternative still involves driving to the mass transit station, so they might as well keep going.

Electric cars really don't change that one way or the other.
FB can act as toxic behavior multiplier, though.

Indeed, the medium can alter the message. For example, supposedly any extra lag in voice communication makes participants think the other person is angry.

We also see groups that never had close proximity now interacting directly and finding that they disagree pretty strongly on fundamentals.

So there may be ways to facilitate the same discussions, but more productively and humanely. And it simply might not be possible for people with diametrically opposed beliefs to do this -- there may need to be a game of a few layers of telephone, or at least an active moderator as in a formal debate, to help translate meaning and intent across the epistemological divide.

I may not have done a very good job of explaining my point. My point is that there's more at play here than just the availability of electricity.

>The point wasn't that the EV charging infrastructure exists TODAY to support this, it was that it would be trivial to do within the timeframe required

Except it's not just the electricity availability that causes the issue I was pointing to. It's the energy delivery as a function of time. The range upgrade in pumping fossil fuels is currently just much more efficient. One can get 300-500 extra miles of range in less than 5 minutes. Even if electricity is available, it doesn't mean somebody can double their range in a few minutes (which is why I pointing out the planning counterpoint). I'm optimistic the technology will get there, but let's not trivialize the solution as a way of negating one option.

>The lead time in question is fourteen years!

Is this speaking about building a road? I don't quite follow how the comparison of building roads matters to this...presumably both electric and fossil fuel cars would use the same road infrastructure. Is your point that long road construction lead times means...what? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't understand the connection drawn here. Is the point, "Electrical infrastructure is easy because roads are hard and we already do roads"??

>all that's needed is building the right kind of outlets

>Stringing a cable is 2+ orders of magnitude cheaper

This is what I mean by trivializing the solution. Electrical infrastructure is much more than just 'stringing up cable'. The transformers I mentioned are much more of a bottleneck both from a manufacturing and resiliency perspective. There are some critical ones within the Unites States that would take 18 months or more to be manufactured overseas before even considering how to deliver them when there isn't the normal infrastructure to do so. The idea that we just need to "string up some cable" appears a bit naïve to me and perhaps spoken from a place of lack of domain knowledge.

> Cobol remains the language of choice

Sigh , those single liner that both illustrate the ignorance and the status of the author.

I’m an enterprise architect in banking , 6 month ago I was hired for IT Transformation.

My mission was very simple « move the bank the out of mainframe »

In 2 weeks or so I presented a Kafka based runtime based with JVM contracts that would enable the bank to perform in a near real-time manner as opposed to « batch » processing while covering and simplifying 90% of banks related scenario ( SEPA , MasterCard , AML etc...)

The project was accepted by directors but devs refused to go into that because much like the authors they are 30 years in the banks and don’t want to learn something else than what they know « cobol ».

90% of our contractors work is spent dealing with mainframe constraint and writing interfaces and top of that piece of crap that can only process data at night or during the weekend.

Mainframe is not there because « it’s superior » , distributed system have largely proven their capability and maturity.

Mainframe are still there because of Corporates Politics and lack of Leadership from top management.

When you are reminded that Citibank lost 0.5 Billions because they spent 0$ on their UI, you may start to understand how much corporates world is rotten to its core and why mainframe is still there.

Has nothing to do with it’s capability , period.
> They stopped shipping a lot of stuff (like JavaFX),

I thought they just split up the JDK into modules, making some libraries optional for a smaller footprint if you decided to ship your program with the JDK included. I am quite sure swing was also split of and all my toy programs still run despite that.

> JavaEE stuff was removed from the JDK and then re-namespaced,

JavaEE was never part of the standard JDK. Never used it, but you can probably still find the old java package somewhere.

> they moved some stuff out of Unsafe

out of sun.misc.Unsafe, an internal API of the Sun JDK that wasn't in the java namespace, wasn't documented and had nearly every IDE scream at you.

one really nice feature - especially for the pi - is that the filesystem is read-only and runs with an overlay filesystem from ram. This give you the ability to see what is changed or back up your changes by accessing the overlay directly.

If you encounter such a program that requires PreferServerCipherSuites to run correctly, please open an issue and we’ll look into it as a potential regression.

More in general, it’s unavoidable for packages that implement living protocols like TLS and HTTP to have a higher level concept of backwards compatibility: if the wire behavior of the package were to never change, Go would soon stop working with most of the ecosystem, and wouldn’t implement the likes of HTTP/2 and TLS 1.3. Many standard libraries went that way, and ended up less useful and safe.
>There is law against executing someone else's idea which is public, and over which they have no patent.

What is this law? I am pretty sure flying cars, underwater cities, space travel, etc are ideas that someone else has had, but no US court is going to stop you from executing an idea just because someone else fantasized about it.

>What if the idea isn't public? Not that it applies in this case, but I think there is such a thing as breaking into an organization and stealing trade secrets: ideas that are not known outside of that organization, and are (consequently) not patented.

The theft itself would be a crime, but an entity not involved in the theft would be able to take advantage of the trade secret without any legal liability. That is the tradeoff for not registering a patent to gain exclusivity for 20 years via legal mechanisms.

I guess I'm confused as to why this is more than simply an interesting formalism. Complexity theory and models of computation are largely based around the Turing Machine model. Lambda calculus is an effective lens to design programming languages and prove equivalence between programs. We know by way of the Church-Turing Thesis that these two models are equivalent. The Turing Machine model is both better studied from a computation perspective and has much more practical realization; what's the point in creating something like this? It feels a bit like silly lambda calculus fetishism, but again maybe the value here is the actual computation formalism itself.
