> High quality food delivery (at any time...)

In the largest cities, perhaps. Don't try that in Santa Fe. For that matter, don't try it in Philadelphia, at least not after 23:00)

> 24 hour [...]

An unusual feature of western US grocery stores (not generally replicated in the midwest or east coast as a whole, though it is spreading). Not common in smaller cities or towns. 24 pharmacies are useful, but many large cities in western Europe have a few, and many small cities and towns in the USA do not.

> Cheap gas

A function of US vs. EU tax policy, nothing more (or less)

> Road trips etc.

Entirely possible in the EU and eminently common. The difference is that for many trips, you have the choice to do it the other way too, which is not feasible in the USA for most destinations.

Not only that, but if you choose to travel in a camper, in EU you have a plethora of dirt cheap places to legally pull in overnight that have bathrooms and if you need it water & electric. Essentially absent from the US.

> Hot water in sinks.

Not present in many gas station and campsite handwashing sinks.

> Whole Foods

Present in several cities across the UK. But you cannot be serious. I mean, I shop more or less 100% at WFM, but I can shop just as well, if not better, in the UK or Germany or France.

AGAIN, I ask: what is the evidence that any of this is connected the high risk/high reward entrepeneurial/VC culture of the USA? You seem to just be listing a set of things you like about the USA and waving your hands as if to say "it's all because of the entrepeneurial culture".
Hear me out…
after reading the comments and seeing the multitude of innumerable issues with this idea despite its impetus as a solution to obvious societal problems, here is one possible way to approach solving the problem… given the scale, scope and complexity of the issue/s this is in no way a complete nor exhaustive plausible solution…

Rather than the phone hosting the website, the service hosting the backup of the phone should act as the webserver. Would solve uptime, and security. To solve the webhosting hostage situation will require an act of congress to make phone providers and manufacturers liable for loss of data for the phones complete with fixed rates for hosting. The act should also stipulate that webhosting with open standard api and servers is an absolute non-negotiable necessity subject to substantial penalties for failure to comply…. Seems harsh but it would cause an open market of third party sites to provide for the offloading / hosting / storage responsibilities while usurping the walled garden strangled hold. In addition would open up a huge search industry where the ticktock/ instagrams of the worlds are reduced to search algorithms rather than divine dictatorships.
TIL. Thank you very much for sharing this!
> Once it reaches a safe orbit, the reactor will be turned on.

Fission reactors aren't appreciably more radioactive than rocks you can dig out of the ground until you turn them on. This is something that wouldn't be brought online until the riskiest part of the launch has past.
It's not a "middle name", rather it's an "infix". Some countries/languages have this feature where there is a generic "infix" part of the last/family name. This generic part if fully part of the last name but is so common that it will cause an imbalance in the distribution of names.

To understand this as an English speaker. Imagine people aren't called John Smith, but rather John the Smith and not Bill Boston but Bill of Boston. Now imagine that a large percentage of people had an infix in the name. It would be impractical to order stuff by last name and find a massive index on the letter "o" because all the last names starting with "of" or at "t" starting with "the". To balance this out, parts that would translate to words like "from", "the", "of", "to" or "on" would be considered an index. Part of the last name, but not considered part of the name index. John the Smith would be found at the letter "S" usually structured as "Smith, John the".
The Datapoint 3300 was strictly a terminal. It was not programmable and did not have an instruction set. It basically had counters for the cursor position and put characters into memory at that position, and had a ROM to generate characters. Manual: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/datapoint/3300/70116_3300termMaint_...

I don't think the Datapoint 2200 had any specific influences, at least none that I could find. Keep in mind that at the time, it was fairly common to make a processor out of TTL chips. People would make a custom processor for random things like a CNC controller or a video game. These processors were usually ad hoc, with an instruction set that had the features that were needed. If people were going to copy something, it was often a PDP-8 or 11 or a Data General NOVA.
There was a time (the early 1990s) when structures were dependably and significantly faster than classes, and you had to use structures for any application that was even remotely speed-sensitive.

I haven't metered CLOS in a while, but since modern hardware is around 100x faster now and modern Common Lisp compilers are a lot better, I suspect structures are no longer faster than classes or if they are, classes are fast enough that their extra flexibility is more important except in a very small set of apps where raw speed is paramount.

I would encourage CL programmers who stick to structures for speed reasons to try rewriting some of your code with classes and meter it. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Sure, but it’s worth mentioning that this isn’t just a Daft Punk thing. Electronic music and especially House music going back to its roots was shaped by sampling great moments or vocals of tracks into loops and mixing them together into new tracks on top of a 4/4 kick.

The funky/disco/french house era was particularly prolific with sampling though.

We used standard Postgres for 200k rows/day (100M rows/year) time series. Worked just fine, even without partitioning. Maybe use partitioning (on time) from the start though, it was a bit tedious to migrate to it later. Now handling 10x these rates, probably good for another 10-100x. We have TimeScaleDB extension enabled now, but not using that many of the features yet, mostly stock Postgres.

> I'm just trying to be a better engineer

Your time would be better spent on accumulating domain knowledge in whatever industry you are working in - finance, healthcare, government, etc. Especially if you want career advancement or make yourself look more attractive to prospective employers. Unless you are directly involved in writing algorithms or academic research, you really won't be proving time and space complexity of algorithms in your job. A general understanding is sufficient for 99% of the jobs out there.

Ok so wouldn’t it be a problem with a fusion/thermal system too?
I understand that the author's point is that we should replace "first name" with "given name(s)" and "last name" with "family name(s)" if we are going to have two fields instead of just one for the full name. It's true that it would be more clear in some cases, since in many cultures the "first name" is the family name, which is probably not what the system expects.

Though I do agree that it's mostly a matter of i18n. In Spanish you should ask for "nombre" (name) and "apellido(s)" (surname), if you say "given name" and "family name" users will be confused.
I don't think you saw those statistics in the last decade.

Even if you run the server, it will die if the app goes to background or the screen turns off. Hardly practical. Just because a port is open does not mean it’s “less restrictive”.
The carrot problem in TFA describes when there is an incentive to lie - what you're describing is something else entirely. It's not usually in the interest of someone with wealth to lie about how they got there.

There's a big difference between being wrong/full of shit and outright lying because to tell the truth would harm your ability to make money. The former is just being an idiot, the latter is being a market manipulator/con /artist/grifter/etc.
When my fiancee showed me this, it took me almost a dozen watches to finally hear the one I didn't initially hear. I don't remember for sure which one I could hear at first, but I think I only heard "green needle", which was higher pitched, and it took me a lot of concentration to block that out and focus on the lower pitch enough to be able to parse out some semblance of speech. If my recollection is correct, my troubles with the lower pitched sound is a little ironic because I play bass and often try to point out bass parts I like to my fiancee, but she sometimes has trouble parsing out exactly what I'm referring to due to not having had any musical training and it not being as obvious to her which part is the bass when I'm showing her a song with lots of different guitar and keyboard tracks and lots of heavy bass drum.
Nah I disagree 20 years in the industry across fields and most management was just incompetent. I concur with the earlier poster.

They're not being dumped down a manhole. More than likely, things like that are being dumped into the larger open storm drain canals. And often storm drains run along the courses of creeks or rivers that have been covered up/paved over, so it's more like throwing your garbage into the nearby river.
right, just like you can change the provider of your hosting.
Note that RTGs don't provide propulsion.
You're generalising to win an argument.

The lead may know less than them about some things. That's OK for us. But what's important is they know more than the team about other things.

For example, we would rather have a lead that knows when to say "How do you know this is performant? Show me." and understands statistics and how to read perf dumps ... than how to profile whatever PHP script or whatever hands-on.

Sorry that contradicts the black-and-white world view you're holding.

I also strongly believe good technical leadership is about accepting you know _less_ than a team, and being able to ask the right technical questions to the right people who know more than you to ensure the best outcome.

You can do that with a ground knowledge of the stack, picked up on the job, along with learning the application's code and architecture. What a good technical lead brings is a deep understanding of how to manage complex people and systems by having done so across different languages/stacks/architectures many times.

Why would I turn away someone brilliant at that because they happen to know Java but not Android development? That's the easy bit to solve.
Even if you want to run a website on your phone (seems pointless…) Wouldn’t you need some kind of ngrok service to allow it to be accessible from the wider internet? In which case you could use whatever port you want and forward.

But then you’re kinda using a host aren’t you… and you may as well just cache it…

> I prefer Go over Lisp on the cover because I prefer the explicit, low magic code of Go with all its boiler plate and using my brain power on business problems not what makes me more productive or feel better / clever while doing my work.

This seems like a false dichotomy. Boilerplate-heavy code is the opposite of focusing on business logic. Incidental complexity ends up being intertwined with business logic everywhere. More powerful languages allow programmers to do clever tricks and make a mess, but they don't require it. Those languages also allow programmers to abstract away incidental complexity and expose business logic more clearly.

I think the future of programming languages is going to be in finding a balance that allows powerful abstractions while still making the semantics as clear as possible.

Though I have to say, I don't really see what Go buys you over something like OCaml, which is still very explicit (in many ways more so than Go) while still providing powerful abstraction facilities. It even competes with Go on the compile-time front.

I switched from a bunch, settled on Namecheap. It was easy to set up, and well, cheap.

My previous registrar actually tried to hold me hostage by registering an expired domain and reselling it to me for absurd rates. I let one domain with Namecheap expire because I never check that email, but they didn't do anything evil, so I'm happy with them.

The real limiting issue tends to be materials in the reactor - at some point, every known material is a liquid or a gas and the reactor stops being an ongoing concern.

Usually reactors run cooler by several orders of magnitude, as this is referred to as a ‘meltdown’ and people get snippy about the releases of radiation and expensive cleanup crews, etc.

Space is more forgiving and has fewer HOA types, so they can go closer to the limits - but it’s still the same underlying issue.
hi Ken!

I wrote about DataPoint in The Big Bucks. It turns out I knew Gordon Peterson, architect of ARCNet, so he was a very good source for me.

Thoughts and opinions my own. No affiliation with the Internet Archive.

It is my belief that libraries and repositories of culture must (not may or shall, must) be built in a manner where they can’t be burned. They require durable, persistent, fault and human tolerant foundational systems (technology and otherwise) that exhibit the features of a Ulysses Pact, protecting the future from the present; from greed, from savagery, from disaster, from deterioration (regardless of source). I hope this clarifies my position on the topic.
Sure, but it doesn't change the fact that the population really does need to be culled.
I don't really buy into this view of Go. Go doesn't keep things simple and uniform. It's more limited in many ways than other languages, but it's feature set is largely arbitrary, and not particularly simple. Limited and simple are not synonyms.

Ok.

I'll explain because there seems to be a genuine misunderstanding.

Of course the scientific method is great, and the only tool we have to understand the world. Of course. Very true.

"The Science", on the other hand, is a sales tool. Something to be invoked to push a product, a policy, whatever.

Science, the scientific method, the sum total of humanity's knowledge and wisdom, can't be stopped. It may be delayed, but truth wins because truth predicts the future, and lies don't.

But "The Science", that's different. Pay off a few key people at the right time, and you can get yourself a nice handy "The Science" to sell whatever it is you want to sell. It won't work forever, but it doesn't need to. By then they've already cashed out their shares, won the election, whatever.

> Most beaches were one rainy day away from being closed down, and they were certainly nowhere near Mexico.

I think this is the most salient point -- most beaches are probably fine most of the time, but when you get a big storm or some other event that causes a lot of runoff, the beaches quickly become health hazards. And it doesn't even need to be anything particularly nefarious, even just dumping a bunch of nutrients into the water will cause more things to grow, nasty things included.

I've been to plenty of beaches where after a strong rain, they had signs out on the beach warning about potential sewage runoff, and to avoid swimming in the water.
Last names are also not limited to ASCII. There all sorts of special caracters depending on the language like üáàãéèç-' (the single quote is specially important because its normally blocked due to SQL injection, but its a common character in italian/french/spanish names).

Preventing people from writing their own names because you decide to use a regexp from stackoverflow is also bad.

> In the meantime, we have labor shortages that could certainly be addressed by more legal immigration

In a country of 330 million people, it's hard to envision us having labor shortages. Do we really have labor shortages or a low wage problem? Also, both legal and illegal immigration addresses labor shortages, if indeed such a thing exists.
If you're implementing a reasonably complex ui, the insane edge-cases that component-libraries must manage cannot be accomplished with CSS alone. Accessibility, Keyboard-Navigation, spec-conformance... The feature summaries from react-aria [1] illustrate this.

For example, did you know that it's not trivial to have a button inside an interactive list item, because none of the default html-interactive components can be nested?

As another example, DaisyUI recommends relying on the <dialog> element for a simple modal, which, as I recall, has flawed accessibility and excludes 7% of browsers.

> You see this often when someone with prodigious genetic ability doesn't want to admit to others or themselves that their success was determined before they were born

I don't think many people asked Yao Ming if being 7'6" helped with his basketball career, or Michael Phelps if his human flipper feet helped win a medal or two. But they have spoken at length about how they trained for their careers, and sane people can understand that being a genetic freak doesn't make you a world class anything. It predisposes you to success if you seek it - and both those people spent an enormous amount of their youth working to get there.

The point is that success is not determined before you're born, and reasonable people understand that there's such a thing as variance in human anatomy.
It is due a bit of proof reading. There are some readability issues.

That being said, it is a great article. C++ and coroutines is a story that has been going on for a long time, and the result surprised me. In a bad way.

One bit me right from the start. I copied out an example and it crashed, and it turned out (after hours of searching, reading - the compiler and sanitisers sure weren’t any help) that the problem was that I’d inadvertently made a parameter const& (force of habit) and bound a temporary to it.

My answer to this is simply that I choose not to use coroutines. If I can’t force a compilation failure when I do something dumb, that spooks me.

For a feature released in 2020 it has far too many footguns. Ranges was similar when it came to lifetime footguns. It’s just something that makes it hard to take seriously the claims that it is legacy code that is the reason C++ has a bad rap for safety. Coroutines and ranges are modern features that can shoot your foot off if you don’t know the implementation, which is kind of contrary to the point of making a friendly wrapper over it all.
