Look, you and I know this is horrible and should probably be a war crime, but you have to admit: it's elegant. The ability to pierce the abstraction with C is the only reason it's on that list. I can teach people how computers actually work without getting to assembly (though it's usually a good idea to go there). It all depends on the goal. If your goal is to understand how computers execute programs, then a little C doesn't hurt.

> But it teaches bad habits, which have to be unlearned.

Apologies, but you're confused again: you've conflated learning how to code, with learning to be a software engineer. They're related, but less so than you think.

In my experience, it is impossible to teach a student a lesson that requires experience without providing them the opportunity to experience it. Teach someone Basic, let them do bad things, then show them the light.

Boston Dynamics’ Stretch can move 800 heavy boxes per hour
I’m convinced of something like this when on a high enough dose of certain psychedelics. I feel like I am experiencing movement of my self along different dimensions of a consciousness space that makes up the universe. And that the substrate making up my mind gets temporarily split into many smaller minds that can examine one another. Maybe everything’s a simulation and it’s all just data. Maybe there doesn’t even need to be a computer to run the simulation, and the state space representing my consciousness just exists the same way the matrix [1, 2, 3] exists whether or not a computer is storing it.

After sobering up, I’m 99% sure this is a delusion, that my brain is just running wild and inventing the experience. That other 1%, though…
Given the evasive nature of the assertion, I'll eat my hat if it's not some flavor of racism, sexism, or eugenics.
Counting seconds like that isn't exactly correct in my experience. I find that I actually don't need to go that fast on the whole.

For instance, reading HTML docs in a browser with a text editor vs using a fancy IDE. Metrics say IDE wins, but I don't think those seconds shaved are in the critical path. And there are other benefits to the non-IDE workflow.
Truthfully, I don't think it will take abject poverty for something to happen. I think all some people need to become violent is a sense of entitlement that reality isn't soothing anymore. Kind of like people who decide to annihilate their families in the face of break ups, because if the perpetrator can't have them, then no one can.

Agreed, mass-production is another by-product of Globalization for the most part.
Another issue with C being an allegedly good beginner language is strings. C is simply terrible at handling strings. Let's say I want to concatenate two strings:

char *concat(char *p, char *q)
{
size_t plen = strlen(p);
size_t qlen = strlen(q);
char *r = (char*)malloc(plen + qlen + 1);
assert(r);
memcpy(r, p, plen);
memcpy(r + plen, q, qlen + 1);
return r;
}

And never mind the issue of when to free() r. Contrast with D:

string concat(string p, string q)
{
return p ~ q;
}

P.S. Yes, I know about the potential overflow problem with `plen + qlen + 1`.
For people in jobs where real wages haven't kept up with inflation, and where full-time employment isn't available, I would say things are definitely worse than the post-war era. People increasingly cannot afford healthcare, childcare, or even a place to live. The work that is available is being made less safe and more taxing by relentlessly monitoring employees and gutting labour protections. 50 years ago being a taxi driver could be a career, now it's an app where you have to grovel to get 5 star reviews. Working in a warehouse you're measured down to the second on how you move boxes, all day.

Nobody knows how bad social media will end up being for society. For all the criticism of the news media, there are incidents all over the world of hate crimes being motivated by social media spreading rumours quickly and widely. The way that likes and retweets exploit the neurochemistry of our brains to make us produce increasingly incendiary content for people we've never met is going to be looked at like asbestos or leaded gasoline in a hundred years.

I don't think censorship really has much to do with copyright. A book can certainly be in public domain, and still be censored.

It is mostly about infringing the restricting the ability of individuals to choose what they would like to read, hear, and watch; and also infringing their right to free expression.

:-) On the topic of the book by he-who-must-not-be-named, I beg to differ. The intention is quite clear, copyright is just the means to achieve it.

Here is a Gedankenexperiment: assume that there is a jurisdiction in which the state, instead of the estate [1], automatically becomes the copyright holder after the author of a work passes away. [2] If the state starts making rules on which books by dead authors cannot be published, wouldn't you call it censorship?

[1]: Sorry for the a-maize-ingly corny and unfunny dad joke, couldn't resist.

SecureROM in the iPhone 6 didn't properly configure the MMU before initialising the NAND, so it turned out to be possible to interpose between the NVME controller and main CPU (which had just started using PCI-e fabric for I/O, IIUC), take advantage of a bunch of software pieces that happened to be sitting in all the right places, and have fun with DMA bus mastering :3

Sure, I'll concede that theoretically all of this could happen accidentally.

I'm not sure that changes much about the experience of the communities it's happening to though. Bell could have had perfectly innocent reasons for making it harder for people to learn sign language, but the end result still kind of ends up being the same, and it seems reasonable to me for people in those communities who do feel isolated to push back and to argue that they have a right to exist and that they aren't being given full voices[0].

[0]: no pun intended with the deaf community, except yes pun sort of intended because sign language itself can be described as a voice that allows deaf people to more easily communicate and advocate for themselves, and I think that labeling is kind of accurate. So pun partially intended.

Not sure how much people can achieve with $500, let alone their expertise to be able to make the correct investment choice, let alone their willingness to even use the money in such a smart future-proof way vs just using it for door/school/presents/drinks/whatever - Basically the money would just end up in Amazon/Walmart/J&J/AbInBev pockets at a higher rate ..

Bad writing too. If he wanted it to be believable he should have left out the crap about his friend's ashes.

There's also the text at the beginning saying he didn't think he'd have the courage to share the footage, but then he ends up sharing something that he had to have spent a lot of time editing? If it was that traumatic, surely he wouldn't be able to have put that much effort into editing it like that. It's not like all cutting between all those angles was necessary to demonstrate that a parachute is handy.

If you have SSH access the best solution would be to install emacs on your client and edit remotely. Tramp allows you to edit remote files transparently.

You may be able to turn that off. I'm on TMobile and I have controls for that.

What drives me nuts is that spammers leave a voicemail that's essentially 2-4 seconds of silence. Why can't the carrier or my phone determine that there's no message and just auto-delete the voicemail? I get five or six of these a week.
Well, the idea is that most people will run out of basic supplies 2 weeks into the blackout, which will force everyone to turn to violence to survive. I agree that 2 days is not a big deal.

In a dying society like that however, it will be almost impossible to allocate labor to fix issues that caused the blackout, because as time goes on, violence on the streets increases. Weeks on end without food, water, heat, sanitation, order on the streets, weeks without ability to call or text anyone, people's trust into the government disappears, as does the trust into the currency of the country.

In a scenario like that, society eventually hits the point of no return.
One more terrible factor in addition to the ones you named (and I agree with): ubiquitous smartphones in kids' pockets, filled with intentionally addictive entertainment apps, ruining their attention spans, destroying their ability to focus on or feel bored long enough to be attracted to educational pursuits, or even mildly constructive "unapproved" pursuits like doodling, making paper airplanes, reading non school related material, passing notes etc.

The biggest difference between this factor and the others is this one is genuinely new and sudden, a jump discontinuity of a change in the last few years. And there is a strong profit motive for the addictive app makers, and there are incentives for teachers and administrators to turn a blind eye.

(Source: worked in a classroom for a semester. It's really, really bad. I encountered kids who would come up to ask a question, then get distracted by their own phones and lose interest before being able to listen to my reply to the question they themselves chose to ask, as if they forgot why they were even standing)
I agree, there is often a deep discrepancy.
The things people say (like what they say they believe, what they say they value, etc) often do not match up with what they actually think (e.g. if you watch how they actually behave, make choices, go about their lives, etc).

I sometimes hear people say it's a matter of how you define words like "believe" but to me, that only to complicates the matter.

I think almost all if not all of our serious problems can be traced to this kind of discrepancy.
Maybe that's my outrageous belief, heh :S

The writer must meant another poor feller, Michael Hitler. It's a surname from his parents for Christ's sake! And he is older than the evil Hitler! The most dark thing that he ever did in his entire life was kicking a cat in the butt while the cat was taking a dump on his doormat. And now everybody wants to pet his head with this weird hand gesture, and then kick his butt. Come on! Cut Michael Hitler a break, he did nothing wrong!
I somehow doubt that it really changed that much. People have been quite affectionate with cats for a long time. Though we still have a very wide range of relationships with cats from affectionate to basically wild animals people feed.

> not feeling depressed, self-reported, is not necessarily the same as having the same functionality as someone who's not depressed.

Sure, though one aspect of the depression scales is (self-reported) ability to go about daily activities, get normal sleep, etc-- not just "feeling down". That is, it's self-reported information on functionality, too.
> I suppose that halving productivity won't go unnoticed. Why smaller wins like 10% don't matter to them?

Believe it or not, Silicon Valley BigCos are much better at seeing that this matters, and building custom stuff for their employees when necessary. It's not a coincidence that about half of the top 10 companies in the US by market cap are from SV.

From a traditional perspective, Google and Facebook are "just" advertising firms if you see where their revenue comes from; but they have historically done things that go counter to the traditional cubicle farm company like allowing employees more freedom about what to work on, putting in bright colors and such. These things have an effect on productivity, it's just harder to demonstrate a direct relation.

This is great advice, thank you.
Think this is the case as well; it is a handy tool to keep the people in line. My mother often laments that it was so much easier when she was young just making sure she followed the catholic rules and believed she would go to heaven. I wish I believed it (I was raised protestant but found it so ridiculous from a very young age that it did not take; I asked my teachers questions I was not allowed to ask and such); it would make life better I believe; no reason to hunt money or earthly stuff, just live a good and devout life and enjoy yourself with your loved ones after. But I simply cannot; it makes little sense, any of it, when you think about it. But hooray for people who really believe it; they should be far more relaxed than me. Maybe it should be an outrageous claim as well that I think a lot of American believers do not really believe but either make money or use it as a social tool to look good (trump). Which is basically the same as you claim.

Yeah, I think we're actually more or less in agreement, at least in part. But I do believe that there is a phenomenal sense of "being an atom" or even "being a subatomic particle" and it's the absolutely most basic form of consciousness. But the emergent consciousness of a fruit fly or yourself is but a more advanced manifestation of the same phenomenon of subjectivity. The open question is whether upon one's death the subjectivity of you melts back into the global subjectivity "soup" in some way that propagates the continuity of that self? Mind you, I'm still working in a materialistic framework assuming that your memories are all gone when the neurons that form them are irreversibly damaged.

Noticed that both you and the OP mentioned drinking. Just the drinking can cause much of this. Drinking screws up your sleep cycle, which can also cause much of this. Drinking sessions are also time consuming, so you have less time for other things you enjoy anyway. Sure, some things you can do while drinking, but those may not be the things you would prefer to be doing while sober.

Yeah, this is great advice for undergraduates considering graduate applications. I lucked out with my supervisor in terms of his advising style (rather hands-off, which suited me), but I could have easily gotten stuck with a bad match. I picked the school, rather than the advisor, which I now realize wasn't the best way to go. [Edit: I will say that picking a school where there were multiple faculty to choose from in the topical area was a good decision, because that provides options.]

My point is that a blackout won't last 2 weeks unless you've got major structural damage to the electrical system. We had a dang near worst case scenario (of no damage) and it was only 2 days

Also, I present Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico as hard evidence that when the power is out for 2 weeks the society doesn't descend into violence
For comparison, note that you can't do low level recovery at all on e.g. Google Pixel phones. Lose the contents of your storage there and the phone is bricked, as Google does not provide the low level flashing tools and signed images to do that. Apple does, with the phone home caveat.

On x86 PCs, you can usually download a BIOS image, but to flash it you need hardware tools on most computers. So it's better in that you don't need to phone home, and worse in that you need specialized tools to do it. You might also lose serial numbers and other personalization information.

Note: "Factory" images aren't this (and that's a misnomer, they aren't what is used at the factory). Those are OS images. To flash them your bootloader needs to be intact. We're talking about recovering from complete loss of writable storage here - that requires OEM tools to boot low level recovery images from the boot ROM alone. Some of these have leaked, but for very few devices. Apple just gives all of this to you on macOS and we have an open source reimplementation of their DFU tooling (idevicerestore) that you can run on any OS to restore any M1 Mac or iDevice to any (signable) OS version. To this day, all non-beta macOS for M1 releases are signable; I imagine they'll only revoke old ones if a major security flaw is found that impacts device backdoorability or allows SEP compromise or so, and even then you could still install an older OS in reduced security mode, just not as the first OS installed during low level recovery.
