You might as well say that any language takes as input The Universe and returns a new Universe (perhaps also adjusting for time, if the program gives output during the execution). See? Totally referentially transparent. But not interesting.

Like he says, the technique/viewpoint is already known in FP. But in certain languages you have more control over it than others.

Another definition of "stability", perhaps more relevant here is: if you complete an orbit without crashing into the body you're orbiting, does that guarantee you won't crash into it later?

When orbiting a uniformly-dense sphere in an otherwise empty universe, this holds. When orbiting a body that approximates a uniform sphere in a universe where all other large bodies are relatively far away, this mostly holds. But significant deviations from a spherical shape can easily make most orbits unstable.

Little known fact: the Earth's Moon deviates enough from a uniform sphere to make long-term orbits tricky. Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_orbit

Nice bit about a small satellite released by Apollo 16:

"Instead, something bizarre happened. The orbit of PFS-2 rapidly changed shape and distance from the Moon. In 2-1/2 weeks the satellite was swooping to within a hair-raising 6 miles (9.7 km) of the lunar surface at closest approach. As the orbit kept changing, PFS-2 backed off again, until it seemed to be a safe 30 miles away. But not for long: inexorably, the subsatellite's orbit carried it back toward the Moon. And on May 29, 1972—only 35 days and 425 orbits after its release"—PFS-2 crashed into the Lunar surface.

And this is all without any of the additional trickery coming from outgassing.

That is incorrect unless things have changed in the last few years. Qt does not use native controls. Everything (list boxes, tables, buttons, etc.) is drawn and implemented by the Qt library.

wxWidgets takes the opposite approach and uses native controls. I imagine they support a lot fewer platforms as a result. It's much easier to port when all you have to do is abstract the native drawing and input routines.
Whenever I see the "positive" prognostications, I wonder if the author is intentionally spinning a tale for their own ultimate benefit, or if I'm just way too cynical. I don't see any way that the advance of automation can do anything but destroy any desirable concept of society. To me, the future inexorably looks like Detroit or Nairobi, not like Tokyo or Singapore.

Education is a red herring. Most people (and I'd include myself in this) are simply not mentally capable enough to be trained to outperform automation in any task automation can perform. More education will not rescue us.

The future I see is, like Asimov's "Solaria". In that world, what purpose does a laborer have? What strength could even rebels have? When the "top" of society controls machines that will produce, fix, and fight, then they are completely insulated and the majority of humanity is disposable.

I am not sure this is an helpful response but you have plenty of countries where a small oligarchy controls an enormous share of the GDP and most of the population is dirt poor. I can't remember the reference offhand but there was an African country where the personal budget of the head of state was something like 20 or 30% of the total state expenditure.

One thing you do not see fragmenting are command-line tools, because people tend to agree on their function(1). However, QT is huge; its scope goes far beyond GUI functionality, into string classes, SQL databases, networking, etc. And moc, its C++ code generator. More scope equals more possible disagreements, which necessarily entails fragmentation.

I tried installing the Qt version of wireshark using exherbo (one of the most minimal Linux distros) and it wanted MySQL as a dependency! For me, if you cannot build a well focused tool with a GUI toolkit it's not worth using.

More protectionism is not the answer. Restraints on global trade are probably the most harmful thing we do to ourselves as a species.

Now I understand that national defense is paramount. Some restrictions for national defense may be necessary (and neither China nor the US has helped promote trust in each other's products for defense uses lately), but trade restrictions should only be used as a last resort.

We often forget that we have been down this road before. The world on the eve of World War I looked far more like the world of today than the world of our parents.

The entire globe was experiencing massively interconnected rapid economic growth, not just from industrialization, but from the speed and ease of global trade which the new technologies enabled. American ice was sold in India, India tea in Russia, German farm implements in Britain, and British everything everywhere.

Then came first the Great War, and then the Great Depression. And with the Depression came every politician's favorite way to fight economic woes: keep out the foreigners. One restraint led to immediate retaliation by other nations, creating a frenetic negative feedback loop, until finally the open system collapsed in its entirety.

And in its place we created a hidebound monstrosity, an incomprehensible series of trade regulations that were nearly impossible to navigate.

Of course this protectionism only drove us deeper into the Depression, caused global output to plummet to historic lows, made the global economic engine seize like an un-oiled V8, and threw lit thermite into the already smoldering tinderbox of militant nationalism.

It took two World Wars, a global standoff that threatened to consume all of civilization in nuclear holocaust, and most of a century to get back to where we started. Let's not throw away those hard-won gains over international intrigue. Trillions of dollars, and the lives they support, are at stake here.

Free trade is good. Full stop. It builds massive wealth through compounding growth. It pulls people out of dire poverty. And it stops wars.

To step away from it now, just as we enter a truly globalized world, would be the single largest self-inflicted wound to the global economy since the collapse of Rome.
I think that using just the fixed term would be better, just for simplicity's sake. How would it work if you have a collaborative novel? One author dies, the other continues living. What if the author goes missing? Changes their name, moves and leaves no forwarding address? How much effort do you need to put in to track down an author in order to re-print their works, or to tell if they're in the public domain?

It's much easier to just do a standard, fixed term for all copyrights.

But the contents of it are being copied and stored. That's the danger. They claim that because no human is looking at it, it's still OK, but of course a human could look at it in the future if you're suspected of something.

Actually, it's not only legal in California, the state recently banned devices that get stuck to the windshield and mandates that such devices need to be placed and secured on the dashboard.

Obviously, the law doesn't say anything about HUDs, and it will probably take a few years for legislation to catch up with technology in that area.
I think the safest thing to say is that integration of any technology takes time. Even if a technology exists, it won't be ubiquitous immediately.

If we accept that one day computers/robots will be able to outperform a plurality of the population, three questions arise. When will that be? Will enough of us see it coming? How should we respond?

'a better aggregator' in what sense, exactly?

Better for the consumer would be an aggregator which ranked properties qualitatively (first page for those with clearly genuine and excellent reviews) with those which do not get such good ratings further down the list even if they are more profitable for the aggregator.
I'm not sure a capitalist system makes sense in a techno-utopia. If the robots make themselves, mine the minerals, smelt the ores, assemble the smartphones, and deliver them to me, there is not a labor cost associated with assembling the smartphone, so why should there be a price?

Maybe the "cost" comes from the loss of the mineral in the ground, but if we're going full on techno-utopia the robots would reclaim the mineral through recycling, so does it become negligible?

Marx touched on the paradoxical nature of automation and advanced technology: "Though machinery be the most potent means for increasing the productivity of labour, that is to say for reducing the amount of labour time necessary for the production of a commodity, in the hands of capital it becomes the most powerful means... for lengthening the working day far beyond the bounds imposed by nature"

And damn, he hits the nail on the head there.
Most modern FP languages (and quite a few non-FP languages these days as well) do immutable by default, with carefully controlled explicit mutability where necessary. It's basically the flip of older traditional languages where unless specifically stated otherwise everything was mutable. Doing immutable by default encourages you to use mutability only where you really need it. Immutable references allow all kinds of desirable compiler optimizations to be implemented which leads to better performing code with fewer bugs, but it doesn't need to be an all or nothing, you can have both mutable and immutable references in the same code, it just means the mutable parts don't benefit from the same optimizations the immutable parts do.

> Once again sethf hits the nail on the head. The response is entirely up to us.

I disagree. Short of halting the progress of robotics and software, there seems to be no way to avoid the continued automation of things, and economy, politicians and social habits will have to follow and adapt, like they always did. More and more I'm buying into the view that it's the technological progress that drives cultural change, not the other way around.
