In the vein of VectorPath's sibling comment, I highly recommend The People's History of the United States, by Howard Zinn.

But I think the reason we are seeing this more front-and-center now is because the effects are starting to become noticeable, and because globalization has made it easier for the rich to not really care as much about their home country's economic success; they'll profit regardless, as long as they've made the right investments in the right places.

>track and monitor my use of "my" hardware.

in what way are they doing this? is there something other than no other software works on this new hardware preventing your from running other software when (not if) it does arrive?
They are a data warehouse with analytics? So data warehouse as a service in the cloud?

So they can collect data from different places like sql, images, etc. I think a better question would be what type of data can't they ingest?

Once you have your data i guess you can run some analytics to find out what your data tells you
No, thanks. I use Youtube for technical videos and videos pertaining to certain tasks and the dislike ratio is nearly always an indicator of whether or not the video is misleading, incorrect or uninformative.
I have a vision of software literacy- where 99.9% of people can write their own.

I think all the open source in the world isn't going to help when the battle at the bottom is effectively lost already. The 99% don't even have root access to their own devices and don't care, let alone have any desire to write their own software no matter how easy it is. It's also only getting worse. Every year the number of vendors producing unlockable devices shrinks. Every year Windows and macOS get a little less power-user-friendly. Democratic software development is building a mansion on a hill while the town in the valley is on fire.
And the pure assembly demo's showing realtime Mars like landscapes, my brother was always looking for precomputed tables to avoid the expensive div and mul, fun times. Software was optimized in size and execution speed in the early days. Also remember the first voxel based flight simulation like Novalogic's Comanche.

A data lake is a system designed for ingesting, and possibly transforming lots of data, a "lake" where you dump your data. This is different from an eg postgres db (a single source of truth for a crud app for example), because it captures more data (eg events) and it's normally not consistent with the single source of truth (the data may arrive in batches, imported from other database, etc). Because the volume of data is normally huge, you need a cluster to store it, and some way of querying it.

Snowflake and data bricks are companies that operate in this space, providing ways to ingest, transform and analyze large volumes of data.
This is what I do as well, I don't understand why programmers try so hard to avoid ever taking notes (or reading a manual). It's somehow too boring for programmers to work in a structured way, they want to pretend that their job is like playing a video game. I don't understand what the problem is of looking something up, and why is it so "bad" to read a little syntax before you get started, especially if it gives you better solutions.

Imagine having this attitude towards tools in general, you'd throw out most of everything. Anything that's powerful has a learning curve
> but you're also not a motorcycle that deserves its own lane. I have at least one car turn in front of me almost every trip out just because they're misjudging my speed. I get honked and yelled at when on the road because folks get frustrated when I'm using the left-hand side of the right-turn lane as a bike path.

Cycling is my primary mode of transportation, and I've found a couple things help with this:

1. Take the lane any time there's a chance of conflict such as a right hook, and when there is not enough space for a car to safely pass [1][2]

2. Use a headlight all the time, even during the day. This is what motorcyclists do, and when I made this change I noted a major drop in the number of drivers that turn without noticing me.

Nope - the state militias are exempted from service in the federal military, including via the draft:

> A defense force established under this section may be used within the jurisdiction concerned, as its chief executive (or commanding general in the case of the District of Columbia) considers necessary, but it may not be called, ordered, or drafted into the armed forces.

Military members aren’t allowed to join them for that reason.

My hope is the poor, and low middleclass are not the ones paying for it though.

It's easy for the wealthy guy to go electric, go solar, and move his stocks to around so he feels like he's making a difference.

The poor guy is struggling, and is forced to go with the cheapest solution. We don't have the luxury to be virtuous.

I try by having a small truck (couldn't afford gas for a large one), and am pretty much a vegetarian. (The price of chicken, and beef, makes it easy.)
The image likely was recorded as pixels (in some grid), but is stored as sets of DCT components (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_cosine_transform), and doesn’t have pixels.

If so, of course it adds pixels.

So, there are several ways to lose information. Inside the phone, at least these:

- between reality and image sensor

- between image sensor and storage

- between storage and display

I wonder why they don't just have an inert concrete mass on the other side and an exit port that opens into a sand bunker, sure it's a lot of energy but they don't have to contain it, only limit back splash from the mass hitting the sand. Doesn't even need to be enough sand to stop the mass completely, just enough to catch fragments, the mass can continue into the earth with no consequences
I think Jackson looks at a Scorsese film, and thinks "hold my beer" and doubles the runtime on his next project. Then releases the extended version just to juice the pot.

Submarines often track each other via noise. I don't think you want to make noises loud enough to be heard through a solid metal bulkhead on a regular basis, since the same will likely be true outside the submarine. Those bulkheads are also structural components, I believe, so the metal is quite thick, and the sound would likely echo through the submarine and drive the sailors mad.

It is still continuing. I’ll get flak but damn it Apple is leading outsourcing of manf. They have so much cash they don’t have any ideas.

Instead of cars and moving the headphone jack from one place to another, they should be investing in new forms of automation for manf.
This is what you get for using an user hostile distro though, if you don't want changes forced down your throat you shouldn't be using either Fedora or Windows.
I don't see how this is viable as an earth launch system. You have all this complexity and payload restrictions, just to go from a two stage launch system to... a two stage launch system.

However, I think this technology will be extremely valuable for launching material from the moon.

So kudos for investing for this. And I think it will even end up being a profitable investment. Just not for the intended purpose.

> In Python some standard operations are global functions and some are methods.

Typically, all of the former are also the latter because the global function just calls the corresponding method. E.g., len(x) works by calling x.__len__().

> As the article is about, loops in Python are for blah in blah. In Ruby they're

...for blah in blah, if you choose to use them at all, which has the same semantics as the python.

It relies on method calls to #each under the hood, and usually in Ruby you won't bother with for/in, but it is there still...
Asus for example (oled, $600)

Or huawei (ips, 3:2, touchscreen, $700 or so)

Or having pen and touch at all.
I think it's too narrow to talk about it as simply "globalization". Globalization has done some really great things, like lifting millions of people out of poverty. But the US has also failed to keep itself competitive with China, and China has (unfairly, IMO, but I'm of course biased) taken advantage of the US's IP and talent (among other things) in order to increase their global influence and gain leverage over the countries that used to be economically "superior" to China.

I think ideology plays a part in why this is "bad", as well. As an American, I wouldn't mind so much if the next growing superpower believed in democratic principles. As much as I'm happy I was born in and grew up in the US, I wouldn't see a problem with a "better US" growing beyond the US in terms of economic and political power. But I'm not particularly comfortable with the idea of an authoritarian country in that position; China already constantly uses its political clout to censor US citizens and businesses, for example. I expect China's power over citizens of other countries, people who will never even set foot in China, to increase over time, and that worries me quite a bit. It often feels like our only hope is that China makes some huge strategic mistakes, or succumbs to unfixable/unknown structural issues.

You don’t need root access to produce code. The number of people with access to code development and execution tools (i.e. a browser and a text editor) has never been higher. Even on iOS you can get started with a free service like GitHub or Neocities and do everything through Safari.

It’s 100% a matter of skills and motivation.

Yes, the spinning system is also an energy storage device that can release its stored energy instantly.
I like to believe that this is just a phase. At some point in the future, customizable, user-respecting, fully local (or self-hostable) software is going to become trendy again. People are really getting sick and tired of everything trying its damnest to manipulate them into driving a metric or just be an art piece instead of a tool.
I love your profile pic on GitHub
You're describing the future that doesn't yet exist, as though it already does. Tesla _tried_ to automate their manufacturing as much as it could and had to give it up. And it's run by some of the same folks who launch people into space and land the rockets afterwards - there was no shortage of technical capability, I'm sure.

Now, I'm not arguing that automation isn't the "future", it is pretty clear that it is, but that future is not here yet, and it won't be unless someone spends 20 years willing it into existence. At this point I'm not sure the US can even do it, and things are rapidly getting worse.

...by act of Congress, which is reversible by act of Congress, which is exactly what it would take to actually activate a draft anyway.

Constitutionally they are just as subject to Congress power to call forth the militia as anyone else.

> Note that China has structural weaknesses that will diminish its power: they import 50% of their energy and food, and have a demographic problem that could cut their population in half. They also have serious flooding issues, with 100,000 questionable dams built since 1945.

This is the only thing that gives me hope, honestly. The West is too busy trying to play nice for whatever reason[0]. I think the only thing that will save us is China making catastrophic mistakes during their continuing rise to power, or the structural problems you mention that they may not be able to do anything about at this point.

[0] Any thoughts there? You seem to be pretty knowledgeable on this topic. My general assumption is that business interests like where China is going (a richer China means more and more access to a huge market), but don't care about the long-term effects to the US economy. But that sounds too simplistic to be the whole story.
> Compared to a virus with a 99+% survival rate

The virus wouldn’t have a high survival rate if we didn’t have these measures. Otherwise hospitals would be completely overrun, which would not only increase death rates directly related to COVID but also those of people with any other illness who rely on hospital care to survive.

You can’t have it both ways: if you’re against the measures then you have to accept what that would mean.
The crucial question is, is the text any good? My bias tells me it's next to impossible (but not actually impossible) for a text from 1987 to be 2021-beginner friendly, especially in a field like mathematics.

Yep, modules were a big break, however all the relevant libraries that actually matter on the Java ecosystem are available on latest versions.

Basically it is the same kind of effect like school/university teachers whose idea of C++ is C with extras, and if they teach something more close to C++98 proper even in 2021, one should consider themselves lucky.
So far he's ignored instead of addressing all the valid points you've made, and now he's trying to derail the conversation by bringing up experimental features, which, as you say, have nothing to do with anything else.

Since he's working from his own definition of the word "is", and his own definition of the JavaScript standard, there's no way he's going to admit what he said is wrong, even though it is, and the JSX designers were 100% clear in their documentation about shooting down his mistaken idea that JSX is JavaScript.

Now that you've made that point, he's probably just going to try to derail and change the subject again, like he was just trying to do by diverting the discussion to decorators.
> unless your code consists entirely of back-to-back operations with denormals and of nothing else.

Ending with the data being entirely in the denormal range is a common occurrence in some audio algorithms (and in there, intel CPUs dominate by such a large margin it's not even funny) ; if that happens at the beginning of your signal processing pipeline you're in for a rough time
True, and instead of rewriting the whole stuff, if some C or C++ is actually required there is always JNI, JNA, or the upcoming Panama.
Why would you need root access and unlockable devices to produce code ? Do you have access to the microcode of your CPU ? Can’t you code on a Mac ?

I agree that it would be better for everyone if there were competitive fully open source platforms across the entire stack, but don’t confuse the ability to produce and use open source software with the requirement that absolutely all the stack must be open source. Only Siths deal in absolutes.
I think that "good coverage" with integration tests certainly is possible. But to get that coverage /confidence you typically will have to make other test enabling code that while not being DI and stuff that affects the production code still is code. I was at a place where it was practical to drive most of the testing this way and we had to produce fragile and complicated code to set up the database in the proper way. And of course the tests were too slow so we made lots of effort to optimize. And in the end the coverage was too low but we had enough confidence to release often. That confidence was partly due to our customers being so deep in our product without a proper competitor so the bugs the customer found was not a big deal! :)

Literally no need to leave Emacs now
The only common place where it doesn't work is in CMD for executing programs and as arguments for built-in commands. Everything else goes directly to the relevant APIs which don't care about / or \.

These days using CMD instead of PowerShell should be rare enough and PowerShell certainly doesn't mind the slashes.
Actually my view is the opposite. Older math books has a lot of practical examples.

It seems like in the 90s and 2000s a lot of math books started being written by pure mathematicians who don't care about the applications of mathematics.
Honestly, hiring a "head of growth" sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

Massive incentive to bullshit you (and a title that would attract this type of person), difficult to measure success/value and even if they do actually grow your business you've taken all intuitive understanding of how your business works and embodied it within someone who can leave whenever they feel like it.

Unless the founder plans to hit the eject button within the short term, I don't see why you'd do this.
>To encourage people to pay more attention to the official language rules, to detect legal but suspicious constructions, and to help find interface mismatches undetectable with simple mechanisms for separate compilation, Steve Johnson adapted his pcc compiler to produce lint [Johnson 79b], which scanned a set of files and remarked on dubious constructions.

Thanks for the additional context here. As someone who works for a company that pays for both databricks and snowflake, I will say that these results don't surprise me.

Spark has always been infinitely configurable, in my experience. There are probably tens of thousands of possible configurations; everything from Java heap size to parquet block size.

Snowflake is the opposite: you can't even specify partitions! There is only clustering.

For a business, running snowflake is easy because engineers don't have to babysit it, and we like it because now we're free to work on more interesting problems. Everybody wins.

Unless those problems are DB optimization. Then snowflake can actually get in your way.
Why stop there. A computer works more efficiently with numbers rather than strings, so let’s just give each file a number instead of a string. Besides, at this point with how digital we have all become who can’t understand… But wait, that already exists and is called an inode.

A file system has a human interface and a computer interface. Don’t mix them. Let users give file names in whichever way they please.

A full quarter of adults in the US have no savings at all. It can be hard to build up your reserves when more than half the money you make from your two jobs goes to rent. Did I mention those jobs are both "part time" so no benefits either.
Depends what you're doing I guess, not everything needs to return an error, and errors can be accumulated and stored during certain operations and dealt with at the end.
This is a strong US vs the rest of the world difference. In the UK for example most people will do their day to day spending on debit because the rewards we get aren’t worth the faff of paying for things a month later, when you are less “flush” (Americans just seem to have a lot more money sloshing around compared to even well paid Brits and Europeans) it’s much harder to manage that monthly offset from salary payment to credit card falling due and when the rewards are so paltry it’s just nit worth the faff. Only one of my friends does any regular spending on a credit card and he says “it’s Amex so it’s worth the extra faff but only just”
> Having a tiny bike barely able to break the 25mph limit be considered a moped just because it has a throttle as well as pedal assist is completely ridiculous.

Software is trivial to make for yourself and insanely hard to make for someone else, so your vision is not completely off.

But 99.9% of people are just unable to program things (partly because there is no straightforward tools^, which are already a hardest software ever). There may be a tipping point somewhere in the future, but today there is no incentive or enough alive-or-dead competition, for almost everyone to become “software literate”.

^ think about subj: to program this toy, first you have to learn emacs and elisp; there are much easier ways to play this “game”, though less technological. Even most of software developers won’t really go that far.

It is beneficial, but you have to trade away a lot of control of your system and distribution in order to get those benefits. I personally have more hope for alternatives like Actually Portable Executable, since it hybridizes the zip format with conventional static executables that run on multiple platforms, so you get the best of the both worlds: a fast conventional executable that functions as a container.

If you take the simplest design then the second object would be launching into the ground, which is basically what they're doing with the counterweight.
Alternatively you could have a contrarotating system, but I'd then be worried about two high speed objects travelling close together.
The best solution would probably be a metal counterweight, so that you can regeneratively decelerate it from it's exit port.
