I learned on the AS/400 and RPG. I still kind of prefer it to SQL for reading/writing from database. I also really liked CL as a scripting language and the object-orientation of the operating system.

In the early 2000's I was involved in porting Subversion to OS/400. I had to build a replacement for make and the build tools but it almost all compiled on the first try. Then spent the next year dealing with EBCDIC issues. By the time we were done, IBM had updated the C compiler so we could make it UTF8-native and that let us remove our entire patch.

There was/is a lot of cool stuff about the AS/400
This is more or less what happened with Windows 10 editions, as far as I can tell from reading the list.
It uses the semi-colon to join independent clauses instead of a conjunction, which is fine. It might otherwise have read, “The semicolon is a profound public mystery, and the only punctuation mark that…”. Nevertheless, it isn’t a great showcase for the semi-colon’s usefulness. The writer could have invented a more elegant example to begin the article; the one they chose is a prime example of a semi-colon that adds little to the sentence.
These things are even more glaring for us, in Eastern Europe.

A lot of people go: they're so much richer than us, why don't they have space lasers and flying cars and instant bank transfers now???

I kind of wish that all these companies which rely so heavily on OSS and are able to create these vaccines thanks to it, recognize the fact that this virus should no longer be a moneymaking machine, but something which should be fought in every possible way, including open sourcing the entire production process so that others can copy and improve it.

If remuneration is the issue, maybe they can be compensated properly through donations as well as government funding.

It's interesting to see how different people deal with different feelings. Personally, when I'm feeling sad, I want to stay with the feeling -- not wallow in it, but let it "flow", so it eventually gets out of my system. Movies can be quite cathartic that way.
I for one think that the spyware is a bigger problem then the name infringement
I would say the opposite is true. Dying companies are stuck in their own routines because they're trying to automate their poorly designed processes that require humans at multiple steps. Smart companies are designing newer, better processes that are enabled by tech.

Starting from scratch can be a huge advantage.
It's pretty clear that you don't know what doxxing means, and have constructed a strawman ("publish someone's name, address, and personal routine") which is completely unrelated to my suggested course of action.
Just to be clear, I'm using the word "module" here in an extremely generic, language independent way. Basically in the sense of "things that can be compiled individually". In many languages (for example in Lisp), those are functions. A syntactic loop construct ordinarily can't even cross a function boundary.

If your language of choice features formalized modules in the Modula-2 sense, its loops most likely can't span multiple functions even within a single Modula-2-sense module, even if you wanted that (for example, in a state machine with named states as functions which tail-call each other to switch state by transferring control, or something like that).
For Java that's mostly a myth. Modern Java isn't measurably slower than C++ in many cases and faster in some.
This is really well written. Thanks for sharing.
Turns out this isn't true. A Boston subway station had a pretty grim escalator failure a month or two ago[0], where the escalator broke and the stairs started to free-fall backwards piling people at the bottom.

You would be surprised. I worked for an AS/400 ISV and while the customers were all huge companies, the part of the company that ran an AS/400 was usually very small and had a lot of autonomy.
Haskell has an alternative parens-and-braces syntax to the offside rule; that was meant particularly for machine-generated code if I remember correctly.

Edit: I meant to add: you need to decide whether ";" is terminates or joins statements if you have statements in the language.

I understand, I probably have some autistic traits. But you gotta understand how other people operate, and not converge only to the restricted group that resonates to your own tune. That said, as I tried to hint above, it's a bidirectional thing, you're under no obligation to enjoy what others do. To them these events are sometimes profound (you may have jumped of joy watching a sporting event, or enjoyed a good group laughter some nights) too. It's just different. Oh and the normies might also like deep intellectual enlightenment too, the IQ is just distributed on the gaussian, some need the right context and pedagogy.

I wonder how much it contributed to the recent rise of present-tense fiction, which I find unpleasant to read.
This is a statement I would have agreed with wholeheartedly 20 years ago, and that I disagree with wholeheartedly now.
I would recommend you never try to compile tensorflow then. Honestly pytorch might take ages and be relatively complex. But 9/10 tries it builds on a recent Fedora, when you get a new release. tensorflow then ... I mean it's not me to judge that, as I don't understand why you would vendor a ton of C-libraries while depending on a single-file v0.0.3 python library...
Not sure if your example is considered to be complete, but AFAIK, static strings with the same content are the same instance. I'm side stepping your question in a way, but you can validate that easily with the "is" keyword.

I'd like to throw in my 2000 VW Golf MK4. Was the last model they made before the design turned all bubble like. All the interior controls were actual buttons and knobs and had a good feel to them. Probably one of the last cars to have glass headlights that don't get plastic corrosion too.

C# is certainly more flexible in this regard but I wouldn’t say they made the distinction between primitive and object invisible, they just allowed user-defined “primitives” in the sense that users can define C-style structs that have value semantics. The type system is still bifurcated between value types and reference types. That’s ugly but livable in a static language where you can just disallow mixing the two kinds of types. And it’s not just theoretically ugly: it means you cannot write generic code that works for both kinds of types. Or you can yolo it like C++ templates and just allow whatever by textual substitution—to hell with the semantic differences. But of course then you get all kinds of surprising differences in fundamental behavior based what kinds of types you try to apply your generics to. Which is exactly what happens with C++ templates.

What do you do in a dynamic language where no such separation can be enforced? Or in a static language where you just don’t want that kind of ugly anti-generic bifurcation of your type system? The classic static PL answer is to just make all objects have reference behavior. (Which is the approach Java takes with a pragmatic ugly exception of primitive types.) This is the approach that ML and its derivatives take, but which is why they’re unsuitable for numerical computing—in ML, Haskell, etc. objects have “uniform representation” which means that all objects are represented as pointers (integers are usually represented as special invalid pointers for efficiency), including floating point values. In other words an array of floats is represented in ML et al. as an array of pointers to individual heap-allocated, boxed floats. That makes them incompatible with BLAS, LAPACK, FFTW, and just generally makes float arrays inefficient.

So what does Julia do? Instead of having mutable value and reference types, which have observably different semantics, it has only reference types but allows—and even defaults to—immutable reference types. Why does this help? Because immutable reference types have all the performance and memory benefits of value types! Yet they still have reference-compatible language semantics, because there’s no way to distinguish reference from value semantics without mutation. In other words immutable structs can be references as far as the language semantics are concerned but values as far as the compiler and interop are concerned. And you can even recover efficient mutation whenever the compiler can see that you’re just replacing a value with a slightly modified copy—and compilers are great at that kind of optimization. So all you give up is the ability to mutate your value types—which you don’t even want to allow for must numeric types anyway—and which you can simulate by replacement with modification. This seems like a really good trade off and it’s a little surprising that more languages don’t make it.
I have given Zillow a lot of non-public information over years of searching.

How many people search on bedrooms but not bathrooms? When people search on both, what’s the pattern they use? If we highlight prices and BRs on the map does that give more clicks than just prices? How important are photos (times 50 different questions there)? How strong a signal is repeat views spaced over time? Saving a house to favorites? Sending a link to a friend? Clicking on comps in the neighborhood? Which comps do people zero in on (as evidenced by spending more time on the page)? How strong a signal is sending a message to the real estate agent on the listing? What areas of the country are seeing an uptick in search traffic? How long between claiming a house as an owner on the site, updating the information, and listing it for sale?

They are sitting on a (well-earned) treasure trove of data and it’s not unreasonable to think they could use that to be better informed than another buyer without that information.

Where they seem to have failed is in not augmenting that advantageous data with regular old boots-on-the-ground observations.
It is not. The article clearly stated right away in the abstract section:

> While the major- ity (about 65%) of the German population were fully vaccinated, incidence started growing exponentially in October 2021 with about 41% of recorded new cases aged twelve or above being symptomatic breakthrough infections, presumably also contributing to the dynamics.

Breakthrough infections means infections after the vaccinations. Vaccinations is not a cure nor a prevention, it helps tune the body to fight better against the virus.

Vaccinated folks can still get sick with COVID, they just have a much lower risk of dying but they can still have long covid symptoms.

Second, this article is not talking about people getting infected, it is talking about how this virus spreads more by unvaccinated people over vaccinated folks.

Your choice has an impact on the evolution of the virus by getting infected or allowing it to spread among more hosts.

The more hosts infected, the faster the rate of mutation with greater success of spreading and severity or mortality of the disease. Where did you think the Delta variant came from? It wouldn't have evolved on its own if there weren't enough sick folks.

By allowing more mutations, it can in fact evolve to the point that our current vaccines will not work against it. This is where it affects everyone in the world, and yes, your choice affects everyone; that is absolutely possible.

This is not a choice against getting vaccinated or not, this is a fight against the virus itself to prevent it from evolving into a worse one.

By not getting vaccinated, you are choosing to be a host and giving the virus a chance to be worse; while fighting against yourself and your family and friends.
OK, but you're just supporting my point. ANY mutations in the spike protein could cause an increase in transmissibility. So we should have seen it much sooner if it was mutating naturally. Now suddenly there are 30 mutations in the spike protein alone. Let me be CLEAR though, I'm not SAYING it was a lab release. I'm just saying it's weird. I'm not conspiracy theory person.
IC duties beyond senior are pretty arbitrary at most companies, you might be worrying about it too much honestly. Principal seems to be a terminal position for people who have 1) been consistently productive 2) been at the company a million years. These people were typically already doing more “strategic” architectural implementation/design work anyway.

Last year I went from Staff to Senior taking another job. I make 30k more and do essentially the same thing. If you want more money just optimize for that and stop caring about title imo
In terms of hardware a "new" substrate other than silicone will likely be in part a probable solution. The requirements for speed will be density on localization of components and how they communicate. Metal traces are suboptimal compared to a substrate base that could gate itself in relation to I/O. Having ionic neutral properties as well as the ability to take or give a charge functionally and on demand, would be dependant on a functional catalyst and the relational chemical structure of the substrate selected to build physical architecture on.

I agree. Patrick should take a look in how Pix works (and how it was deployed and had immediate traction and explosive growth, a rare good innovation from the state). Pix is incredible and revolutionary.

I'm 39 and in the USA. I've had similar experience to yours.

I'm considering targeting the C suite given my social, communication, and strategy skills. I would be a little sad to give up coding, but since I do plenty of coding in my free time, I don't think it would matter much.
I agree with you entirely. Our society is very unhealthy in it's current form. But the fact is unless we want the economy to go into complete shambles (which we very well may need to happen to survive what's coming) we can't stop doing what we're doing. The difference I see with something like Axie, if done properly, is that instead of the big daddy corporation taking all the money from on high, there's potential for the consumer to partake in the success of the game.

As an example I play a bunch of league of legends currently. During the pandemic it's been a godsend for spending time with my friends. We've all bought multiple skins during this time which has amounted to probably a couple of hundred dollars between all of us. You can also earn random skins, but because typically people don't play most champions these random skins often just sit there wasted. What if instead those random skins could be sold or traded to other players? Take it one step further, what if there were unique skins that only 1 player could have at a time? I could see something like that selling for thousands of dollars. It creates a load of economic activity at the cost of absolutely nothing. We're all already using the systems in droves, crypto/nfts are just a way to have some form of actual ownership.

It's a brilliant concept, and the moral argument against it really is also moral argument against everything already in place in most of the biggest industries around.
it's really funny watching all incorrect opinions, no matter how well articulated, get [flagged][dead] in seconds.

yo dang, I understand that you aren't the one doing this, but why do you even allow this topic here at this point?
I wanted to watch the movie Songbird in December 2020 because I occasionally like the dystopian quasi-apocalyptic movie. It was panned for being insensitive to make a movie about COVID during the pandemic. Like making WWII movies or Vietnam War movies during those wars was OK. Funny thing is a some of the criticisms were about it being unrealistic and fear mongering because it takes place during COVID-23, has lock downs in a global police state, and people are selling false immunity IDs. Granted the movie is not at all that good by standard film critic metrics, but it is very amusing that the narrative is not too far from reality. COVID-22 now, not yet COVID-23. Let's see.

On another note, I am glad my family and I have innate immunity from previous COVID infection, so that we are not as prone to ADE (Antibody Dependent Enhancement) or to the variants that are arising as much as those who are dependent on the vaccine, since as far as I know, the vaccines are still based on the alpha variant (why haven't they produced boosters for delta, gamma, etc...) I know seasonal flu shots are a concoction of previous flu types, but this is not your regular flu shot. Given you can carry a substantial if not equal viral load, or suffer a breakthrough infection, it seems these variants will still spread with or without the vaccine, although you are hopefully still protected from hospitalization or serious illness from these variants. Time will tell.

This might have been the case in the past, but the JVM is now good enough that you get very close to native (and sometimes better) performance with Java.
You're not reading what I said. I just responded on "mini ice ages" and you ignored it. It's clear why they are using that period, and is scientifically justified.

Propaganda is a pejorative term that you're not justifying the usage of, and I certainly don't agree with your usage here.

I don't know the etymology of anomaly, but I think it's a perfectly sensible usage.

You are avoiding the question of whether you think there is an anomaly, probably for the good reason that there clearly is one in the colloquial and scientific senses of the word.

The data and science are clear, and I don't think your professed confusion at the use of the word anomaly is in good faith.

If you don't think there's a problem to be addressed, then it's on you to show the data doesn't show an issue. Just making accusations of propaganda is not good enough.
There are people who hate python because of the forced indentation. They indent their code in their language of choice, they just don't want something FORCING them to do it.

I'm always flabbergasted at this argument.
They were big and heavy but not as bad as you would think. They could fit under your desk and were regularly just run out of a closet somewhere. Of course there were also gigantic ones but that was mostly due to the quantity of disk and tape drives that were attached.

Being an ISV, the thing that sucked the most was all the variety of tape formats. The drives were expensive and the tapes were expensive. So for someone to try our software we had to put it on a tape and mail it to them. This was not cheap!
Elimination is impossible given rapid decay of immunity, whether vaccine-induced or post-case-recovery, to levels where it only prevents severity, not transmission chains.

There's thus a massive reservoir of diverse variants in breakthrough transmission chains of the vaxed, in addition to the hundreds of millions worldwide who realistically won't choose to be vaxed, and even pets and wildlife.

I'd be curious to learn why. I've seen the pain of companies tricked into thinking robotic process automation to do their horrendous excel workflows is a good idea. I've seen the benefit of a decent python data engineer with a small AWS budget.

The techier folks definitely have a different set of problems but the speed at which hings get done is night and day. Companies with old school work patterns (which, in my personal experience, means dusty old banks) are terminally entrenched in their ways.

My wife did some work for the Census last year. Our extremely rural neighborhood has lots of unused housing, some for a decade+. That work got her out to see some of the places not visible from the roads, and increased our awareness of the scale of the problem.

At a guess, in our county, 20%+ of the housing is idle, owned by out-of-state companies, some of whom pay property taxes and some dont. The county isn't auctioning off because of tax default anymore, no one was buying these places at $100. Many of these places are complete teardowns now; some actually no longer exist, having burned or apparently been scrapped. The tax assessments on those have not been adjusted, for the few i checked.

I think the housing market is so fucked no one really grasps the scale of the problem.
Here's an idea I had recently - are you aware if anyone's tried this? An aircraft with coax rotors. Off-axis torque is achieved by changing the angle of the blades independently around the rotor. If thrust vector is in Z direction, and you want to rotate in XZ plane, you increase AoA of rotors in +X direction and decrease AoA in -X direction, causing differential thrust which rotates the aircraft from pointing in Z to pointing more towards -X. Control would probably be via 4 or more cams around the shaft.

Ok I read the link to the article above, it was sort all over the place but a major part of the article was about a teacher who found that some of their non-white students thought it lame to always be reading about white people, so the teacher mixed their curriculum with books that they thought would appeal more to their students, which had black characters in them.

It was not specified in this part that the books added by the teacher were written by people of any particular racial profile, although that is probably the case it is not certain given that writers such as Ursula K. LeGuin were white but often had non-white protagonists.
I have not but I’ll give it a go. Thanks for sharing!
Only big companies will have the resources and need to hire someone who makes architectures and rarely gets their hands dirty. It sounds like you want to be an architect that primarily designs big systems from the ground up. There just isn't a lot of need for this - the design is the beginning, and after the system is running it's about keeping it running and improving it. Plus a lot of these roles are internal hires from talent the CTO knows already, as there are so few of these positions and they need to be trusted.

However this sounds like something FAANG companies have positions for. I just think they will be very limited and very hard to get.
