In fact, passing long-term information is a real life concern. Long term nuclear waste warning messages, for instance, have spawned the field of "nuclear semiotics".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warnin...

In which you end up with these types of proposals:

> The linguist Thomas Sebeok was a member of the Bechtel working group. Building on earlier suggestions made by Alvin Weinberg and Arsen Darnay he proposed the creation of an atomic priesthood, a panel of experts where members would be replaced through nominations by a council. Similar to the Catholic church — which has preserved and authorized its message for almost 2,000 years — the atomic priesthood would have to preserve the knowledge about locations and dangers of radioactive waste by creating rituals and myths. The priesthood would indicate off-limits areas and the consequences of disobedience

Meanwhile, there's Github's Archive Program which as this nice tidbit on it's roadmap:

> The GitHub Archive Program is partnering with Microsoft’s Project Silica to ultimately archive all active public repositories for over 10,000 years, by writing them into quartz glass platters using a femtosecond laser.

https://archiveprogram.github.com/approach/

Which sounds nice. But also unrealistic since technology alone isn't enough to ensure longevity. Embedding the longevity of data into culture could also involve founding a "digital priesthood" analoguous to Sebeok's "atomic priesthood". A group of people who safeguard and pass on the knowledge required to read and interpret artefacts containing digital representations of information.

Is this true? How do you know?
For sure, but I cant really think of another low friction way to detect high quality candidates.

CVs are easy to bullshit as the OP points out and ascertaining performance on a technical interview comes at a high cost.

Search costs matter. Other than "I worked with this guy" (which doesnt scale) I dont know of a quicker method of uncovering an obviously decent programmer.

You're posting that email way, way out of context. I cringe whenever I see that linked. "Userspace" here refers to the kernel's policy about certain APIs. They won't change fbdev at this point but downstreams could always compile it out. It's also an extremely unprofessional email and Linus should have never sent it.

You can still use DRM/KMS to drive "low-tech FB interfaces" and it's actually better because you don't have to deal with the weirdness of the fbdev ioctls.
What can I say but to agree with Gibson.

When I first went to Singapore quite some decades ago it was a vibrant Asian city with old world Asian charm. There were charming streets with people galore, dozens of small businesses that seemed as if they'd been there for a hundred years or more, lovely smells of Asian cooking, trishaws moving about - and I mustn't forget to mention the deep open street drains that one quickly learned to jump over.

Singapore was a charming place.

On my last visit several decades later I found Singapore much as Gibson describes it - a sterile boring dirt-free 'Disneyland' that no longer held any charm for me.

Changi airport is quite an enginering feat and it's great if one's only interest is changing planes but it too could have been built in any other part of the world and wouldn't look out of place in just about any other modern city. And Gibson's right, it's sterile and clean but totally lacking in any Asian charm.

I wonder what those poor wretches who were locked up in the infamous Changi Gaol under terrible circumstances by the Japanese in WWII would think if they could see and had time to contemplate that airport area today.

I'd bet it'd much more than just that they were glad to be free.

I'd put odds on that not all of their comments would be complementary.

Yes, it sounds plausible, because if Tesla is threatened by certain SEC sanctions or legal troubles, banks could withdraw funding or raise interest rates on Tesla's debt, which would bankrupt the company. Or insurance companies could raise premiums or refuse to insure the company which again - could lead to catastrophe.

This is what Elon is saying and it sounds like a perfectly plausible scenario, under which you'd rather avoid the conflict and just shut up and sign and pay the fine.

>Creating a house is a huge achievement, if you had to build it, and it's components, yourself, you would spend decades building a modern style house.

In my country the houses in the villages used to be built with local materials by the owners themselves, with some help from family and neighbors. The vast majority were very small even if the families were large but it didn't take decades or even many years to build them. Now houses are larger and built by dedicated teams or companies, families smaller and many moved into towns where they live in an apartment building. Most people I know, younger or older, either live in apartment buildings or they live in house in a village near the town, because owning a house in the town is terribly expensive. Either way, they are paying for the place with credit or they are renting.
For many people, owning a home means paying rates 20 to 30 years.

So if you are 20 and feel entitled to a 5 bedroom house in one of the best areas the people who educated you did a poor job. B
Sorry for the late reply.

Okay, so I'm aware of the conundrums surrounding mounting the ntfs volume of a hibernated windows installation detailed on the wiki page.
However, the same section clearly states that booting another OS even while a Linux system is hibernating can result in a broken EFI System Partition.

This clearly does not relate to NTFS. I'm not knowlegdeable enough to understand the means by which this occurs, but I felt like I needed to give the person a heads-up before they brick their install.

In classical Smalltalk, there is no difference between development time and runtime. Everything, including system code modification, needs to be done in runtime. There is no difference between a running program and a development environment so writing a program in Smalltalk is a process of self-modification of the development environment to extend it to provide the functionality you want. So, for Smalltalk, it is essential to provide tools to allow that like objects identity swapping, migration of living instances to a new class definition, objects enumeration etc. The basic conceptual idea behind it is to look at Smalltalk as a living organism that is able to grow and evolve without the need for restarts/bootstrap.

Hmm, maybe I misunderstood the author’s point slightly, but I find what you suggest the argument was even less convincing.

Here’s the history: Every editor has a language abstraction already. And some language analyzers had an “editor abstraction”, perhaps notably Roslyn for C# with its programmable refactoring rules that worked in multiple editors.

None of that was new. But that’s still N*M if you do the math, so that graph was never completely filled — for the obvious reason that this would have been practically impossible. No mystery about it.

This was perhaps the case in the very beginning, but everything is switching towards the built-in completion interface as a core, where you can extend both ways: provide elements to complete, or provide ways to perform the completion.

What you get with ivy/company/etc is different ways on how to expand/handle/show completions and they're all still relevant.

I'm using different frontends depending on the mode that I'm using. I personally dislike pop-up style completions. I'm using a mixture of completion buffers (the boring emacs built-in ones) ivy and ido instead.

GIS and remote sensing has you working with gargantuan TIFF files and massive amounts of other kinds of data. It's a whole thing. If you're doing data aggregation, it's possible that without an absolute unit of a pipe just to do a download of imagery, the prototype wouldn't have been feasible.

I have been using InSync for Google Drive for the past 4 years. Been pretty happy with the performance. There is only one catch with their personal license: you can only use it for the account you bought it for. Changing account implies buying another license. You can't sign on more than one Google account as your main account - although they have some child account configuration & you could use it on as many computers you want.
> convince a consortium of investors to put money towards the buy out?

what would those investors get as collateral for this loan?

Musk has apparently already pledged some percentage of his Tesla holdings as collateral (i dont know how much, but i heard it's close to 50%).

If those investors take the other 50%, then i would imagine the holdings are over-pledged with no margin for safety. May be those investors would accept the terms, but i dunno.

The leading problem is that twitter is not profitable, so any loan for buying twitter requires an alternative source of income to service the interest.

Batteries are coming from Panasonic. Other OEMs have working EVs as well. And Tesla is way to small in terms of economic foot print that its disappearance would make a dent. Economics, not on the stock market.

Nothing about Tesla is strategic. SpaceX is different, sure. But with the exception of a yet-to-come lunar mission and astronaut trabsportation to the ISS the "West" got needed stuff into orbit just fine.

But in fact that did happen. Several languages started to implement “editor neutral” code analysis and refactoring. That worked, for the most popular editor/language combinations, but not as a general solution because of N*M.
Since the language is officially announced now, here's an interesting analysis on the language: https://tilde.team/~kiedtl/blog/hare/

Personally I'm very interesting in playing with it. Generics, functional programming constructs, and a lot of the syntactic sugar you find in modern languages have their uses but I think there's a lot of merit to the idea that you might not want them in a systems language. I think cleaning up some of C's rough edges and providing batteries while keeping things extremely simple and clear is very compelling. I'm also appreciative that it doesn't seem overly opinionated where it doesn't need to be.

It's kind of a bummer that there's no MacOS support so I'll have to SSH into my linux box to play with it. I hope the language takes off and support for other platforms materializes. Congratulations to everyone who worked on this.
This is pretty nifty, thank you. You are probably aware that you can do somehow advance remapping within Desktop Environment or Tiling manager level. KDE is decent. I mutilated i3wm config with Xbindkeys and Xmodmap. Keyd feels like a vastly more sane approach, not to mention the inevitable death of X.

Thank you for the write-up, you know you wrote that for just a handful of nerds with problems like this, happy to report you helped one!
Everything you mentioned ran into new issues at scale.

Scale always brings new problems. The difference between hosting a website from your personal internet connection and building TickTock’s infrastructure isn’t simply writing a bigger check to someone.

How many people know how to build X. Where do you get the raw materials or parts etc, all to often the answer is you build a factory or a mine. Many basic assumptions break down with scale. You don’t use even close to the same equipment to connect your houses solar panels to the grid as you would a 1GW solar farm.
Build a pyramid and carve your data into walls deep inside the pyramid.

Why do we need technical interviews at all?
Do other technical jobs work this way?
Do care mechanics take home a vehicle and prove they can replace brake pads?
Do accountants log in to some online environment and deposit a paycheque or pay an invoice?

Oddly enough, if we don't do our job, we get fired, just like everyone else. Other businesses actually apply this to their interviews and don't require applicants to demonstrate something utterly bloody trivial, as if they could somehow do their job for a decade and not know the basics.

Invariably, every dev writing these kinds of articles is simply stroking their own way of thinking - usually these discussions do not contain:

a) a modicum of common sense.
b) an understanding your brain does not work the way everyone elses does.

Just because you find a certain debugging method works for you, doesn't mean it works for me - your most effective technique is not necessarily my most effective technique, because I don't think the way you do.

Some programmers may be slower at debugging, but faster at determining a good solution to a complex problem. They may be slower at writing Jenkins jobs, but faster at solving Maven problems.

In a dystopic society, women would use sperm banks to get pregnant and then give the children to be raised by the state, "in the spirit of a liberal society". Rules will tell how many girls are needed and how many boys are needed.
Rules will also avoid overpopulation in order to reduce pollution and protect the nature.

Meanwhile men will work full time in order to maintain such a noble society. Being a man and not working would be a crime.

Leaders would be appointed only amongst females because men are oppressive and violent.

> The EU wants the UK to be subservient to the Commission for ideological, political and economic reasons

Is categorically and empirically false. The Commission doesn't have an ideology, and doesn't want subservience from anyone. Their job is cooperation and improvement.
Well, I guess we all verbalize internally in certain situations (I definitely do when I’m writing comments or deliberately organizing my thoughts). In that case, it seems the original Reddit thread is based on a misunderstanding of the definition and scope of “internal monologue”. It’s certainly nothing like aphantasia, which seems like a genuine condition.
> cohabiting relationships are less stable than marriage, and suggests that the growth of cohabitation leads to fewer children having the benefits of living with both parents.

> In the overwhelming majority of countries, the most educated cohabiting parents still have a far higher rate of break-up than the lowest educated married couples.

> There were some countries like the United States and the United Kingdom where the advantage associated with marriage was smaller at low maternal education levels, but it was still quite sizable: children were 57 and 69 percent (respectively) more likely to see their parents split before age 12 if their parents were cohabiting rather than married at the time of their birth.

> as cohabitation becomes more common, does it become more similar to marriage in terms of stability for children? Unfortunately, the answer is no. The stability advantage associated with marriage varies a lot between countries, but it is not smaller where cohabiting births are more normative.

It's not intended as a solution to traffic congestion. It is intended to give local politicians new talking points to delay any large scale investments in public transportation.

Who knows how we'll solve transport in the future? Maybe we'll all be in personal cars underground and any massive investments in rail will be for nothing?

It's a variant of the general idea of pushing things like elevated monorails that you know are so expensive they won't be built in the near future. Or, indeed, very low pressure tube transportation systems.

Car companies have done this type of lobbying work since forever. Just as the oil companies when they push for more production, but since all oil will be biofuel in the future, in the end it will be a net positive for the environment.
