I think the situation is improving and serious developers are using a broader range of HTTP features. Proper status code and verb usage has become very common with the proliferation of RESTful APIs.

That said, I can't see any sign they're at the Shot Show right now this year (the trade show in this field, it's run by the real gun manufacturer's lobby, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, NSSF, and Tracking Point was there last year), and they are at CES....

Any state that could be accessed or modified concurrently is effectively distributed (in the Actor model). (If not over the network, then over multiple CPUs communicating over a bus which may require memory barriers.)

Unfortunately the model mandates that you must either a) implement ALL of your cohesive/non-concurrent state in "one actor per unit of cohesion" or b) deal with state as if it's distributed.

In other words: It's not a good tradeoff for typical programs. (Which I think is what my original comment said.)

Don't get me wrong: If almost all your state is distributed, e.g. Riak, then I'm sure it's a fine way to do things. Let's just avoid the "works-for-them-It's-sure-to-work-for-us" pitfall.
In the sequel, "2010", it's revealed that HAL has essentially had a "nervous breakdown" because he'd been lied to. This is apparently true for both the novel and the film.
The tone is like that because people have been saying that Telegram's protocol was constructed seemingly arbitrarily and includes outdated and mostly-unstudied constructs. No serious cryptographer would build a protocol like that, and many well-known cryptographers have pointed that out.

The Telegram team has been hostile to legitimate criticism, and has hosted cracking "contests" as if that in any way demonstrates the security of their protocol. When you roll your own protocol from practically unused primitives, commit most sins in the crypto book, dodge criticism, store your users' messages, and refuse to open-source the server-side code, you deserve that tone.
Actually the big reason why it may have worked back in the day for CNET was because it was CNET.

Thought these days a news sitemap suffices.

I would personally still add the 3+ digit unique number to the permalinks and eventually if necessary remove it once rankings improve overall on Google News.

Some Back Story

==================

I consulted for a Movie News and Review website for about 6 years. We had news sitemaps and would show up on Google News once in a while, but one of the small yet significant changes that we made that increased ranking on Google News was when we implemented adding a unique number to urls.

That was implemented back around 2009-2010.

We stopped using that unique numbers in the URL around 2013, mostly because the numbers were becoming pretty darn big. We noticed a small downtrend in Google News traffic which stabilized in a couple of months.

For anyone using Wordpress unique numbers can be added using a permalink structure such as:

/%postname%-%post_id%/

If you do decide to use it don't forget to setup 301 redirects.
Probably worth clarifying: each pitch is being climbed in order, and for each pitch alone they not using ropes to ascend. But between these harder pitches (at least, and maybe all), they return to a base camp (on the cliff-face) before using ropes to ascend up to where they want to start the next pitch.
I completely agree! One of the worst reading experiences I've ever encountered.

> I have friends who will be working at Microsoft, and other friends who criticize said 'Microsoft' friends, saying that they won't learn much.

There are many things to criticize about the dev experience at Microsoft, but that's definitely not one of them. Unless you're in a quite dysfunctional group, there is extensive early-career training and explicit mid- to late- career mentoring there that really distinguishes it from startups and other big companies. As a manager there, I was held responsible for growing my organization's devs much more explicitly and to a much further "minimum ceiling" career stage than I've seen or heard of from any peers at other companies or other places I've worked.

Of course, things may have changed since I left that position in ~2006.

I'd say it's different. R2RS appeared 1985...

R2RS from 1985:

It mentions Common Lisp as the inspiration for it numeric capabilities.
And Common Lisp got parts of it from Maclisp and Macsyma.

I'm a boomer, and I just want to state I don't feel 'millennials are feckless and lazy'! I get so tired of
every generation looking for fault in the new generation.
As a kid--my father never stopped complaining about the Hippies, even though deep down inside he had the same values, but did what society dictated. I always knew he wanted more
out of life than going to a job he really didn't like, and putting up with a partner who just complained. He died from
liver cancer at 64. Yes, due to drinking. He was a good man
and tried to rebel againts the system in little ways, but I always knew the life he kinda picked, or fell into is not the
life ge really wanted. I rember as a child he once told me,
he would probally like the effect of heroin if it wasn't so dangerous. He repeated that stement many times over the course of his life. Years later, I still wonder how such a convective
man could even go to those dark areas? I am sharring too much? I just want to go on the record as I'm sick of the
sterotypes(hippies, generation z,y,x etc., hipsters, all of them). While, I on the box. I wish society would stop judging me by what I do. I have never liked the obligatory
"What do you do?". Maybe, it's just an American thing? When I used to go to clubs if the "wdyd" came out if a person's

Unless you're hitting actual trouble with contention (or some such), there's absolutely no reason to be programming as defensively as we must do in distributed systems.
Yea, there's a lot of sites that take advantage of this like The Christian Post who target high search keywords for their "news" that has no relevance to the actual term.

'Yes, startups are very risky, and they often fail. But when they don’t fail, their stock can become quite valuable. I wish I’d taken a job as an early employee at a startup and gotten some equity when I graduated from college'

The author means she wishes she'd joined a -successful- startup. That, or she wishes she'd had better challenges out of college, ones that she still could have completed, though (rather than just taken a job at a startup yet failed to be productive at it). The problem is that the former is impossible to pick, and the latter isn't guaranteed just because you joined a startup.

You should be picking a job at a startup with the assumption that the startup will fail. Is this particular startup opportunity you're looking at (not 'it's a startup!', but, 'it's a chance to work at X, using technologies Y, with team members of Z, management seems good, the environment seems good, the compensation is good enough') worth it, given that?

And if you take it, periodically ask, given this startup will fail (take that attitude, even if things are beginning to look positive), is the environment still worth it?

The fact it's a startup, the fact it includes equity, are -terrible- reasons to stay at a job that you aren't growing in and learning to enjoy.

I've experienced good enterprise jobs, where I felt I had a massive say in what technologies were used, in what tasks we prioritized, and felt extremely responsible to get things done, to where I felt I was constantly learning, and better yet, felt incentivized to go learn more on my own. I felt that my efforts were recognized, that my management gave a damn, and that collectively my department was effective, and supportive, and that my time was respected.

I've experienced bad startup jobs, where I felt micromanaged, that I had no say, that my tasks were constantly shifting and never under my own control, and that the existing cruft from prior pivots was so large that I had no real freedom to experiment or expand into the areas other people, who were more knowledgeable about the code, were working in, and by the time I left I felt I had learned nothing, and felt so drained at the end of the day I had no inclination to do anything on getting home. I felt unrecognized, viewed largely as a useful code monkey, that my time was not respected, and that collectively everyone was just in it for the paycheck and the hope of an eventual payout of their equity.

Take articles like this as reasons to consider a startup, but NOT as "startups are better". Just because something is a startup is not a reason to take it, just as it's not a reason to dismiss it. Whatever opportunities you face are specific to you, and they should be evaluated by you based on their actual merits.
I don't know SK law.. but would this really simplify things? Does SK allow foreign corporations to operate in SK without any paperwork? Seems unlikely.
That depends on why they're bad at selling themselves. For instance, if they get ridiculously self-conscious when the conversational focus is on them, that shouldn't get in the way of selling something else.
The way it was explained to me is that you need to physically travel to Estonia once, to become an Estonian e-resident. From then on, you can deal with the Estonian government exclusively via the internet. You get access to a very large amount of the services they provide to their real citizens. Not all, of course, but starting a business is on the list.

I increase revenue $1 and increase expense $1.50. If you target profit I could increase profit, but you take 18 months to collect. Free cash flow targets revenue, leading to profit that is collected ahead of expenses. Their may be a more technical definition, but thats the gist.

I would imagine that TDP/industry could work with GitHub directly (as opposed to search engines like Google), and GitHub themselves would be conscious to this sort of thing themselves - it being contrary to their terms:

Drop your price by 50%. Or start selling dollar bills for 95 cents - bet your revenue numbers will go off the charts.

I think that's what the previous poster is getting at - getting a lot of revenue isn't hard if you're willing to throw core parts of your business under the bus (say, profitability).

More generally though optimizing for any kind of financial target (whether revenue, profit, or otherwise) can still be gamed like any other metric.

Your salesperson promises the moon to a client, closes a bunch of deals, looks great, and your company takes on a boatload of liability in the process - for example.

Or, to take a real life example - drop the price of your software to 99 cents and ride a huge sales wave but find your clientele unwilling to pay anything more than 99 cents from then on (hellllo mobile apps).

Lots of ways raw revenue/profit isn't by itself a great metric.

Then don't use the Monsanto plants?

I really don't get people's inflated sense of entitlement. It's like, I have these perfectly fine plants over here.

But wait, those Monsanto guys in labcoats have plants that produce 1000x more. I could make more money using their plants.

You know what, I'll steal their seeds, grow them, and when they come over and say, hey, that's not fair, you need to pay us for our research, I'll cry, BUT FOOD SHOULD BE FREE!

The "poor Ghanian farmers" you refer to (which is a pretty pathetic attempt to tug at heartstrings) should be perfectly fine to use the same seeds they've been using for thousands of years.

And your water analogy is...just wrong. I'm sorry, if I refuse to pay my water bill, I assure you, the utility company will chase me up. It's not a God-given right to freeload.

In my personal context, water comes as part of the apartment's strata, so we don't pay per use - but the same thing applies to other utility services, like gas and electricity - my provider will chase me up (and has, when I've been careless or absent-minded) if I don't pay my bill.
Even if you don't statically link Rust's runtime?

Ok.. but _you_ are in SK.. and I assume you'll be doing some amount of work on the service... that would often be enough to qualify as operating in the country. (Again, I don't know anything about SK law.. so I don't know if that's the case.)
Indeed, i changed the subject.. And i know Google does personalization. You're second result is my first..

There are millions of people in the US alone that would jump at the chance of taking a good startup job or creating a startup themselves. They don't need convincing. But startups don't want to hire them and investors don't want to fund them. Because they're poor, under-educated, and different. They also make up the majority of the smart and talented people.

It would require actual effort and understanding to work with those kinds of people. A lot more work upfront. Some of them haven't even read Homer, the plebs.

Instead, wealthy investors ignore those millions and spend their time trying to convince a handful of wealthy entitled children to temporarily forgo the easy life at Google or Accenture.
I can, and I do. :) I disagree, but that's for personal, [trivial] reasons (I like there to be the deliberate, personal sign of a maker), and I fully understand this is not something I would guess many professionals feel has a place in a tool such as Rust (rightly so). I was going to say put it in the comments, or make it part of the test suite (makes me sad, but it is a better solution)

Edit: I think it's wrong to say it's weird; this thing has effectively been handcrafted with great care, and authored, not simply machined out of a production line - I think, in fact, it's a very normal thing to do (ignoring any performance issues etc)

I don't think I said that.

A lot of us are exactly that Manichean and that's something to be genuinely worried about. Not everybody has mankinds welfare at heart. Monsanto strikes me as a mixed blessing in that respect, they may do accidental good but in the meantime their goal seems to be to gain control of the worlds staple food supplies.
But what I'm still confused on -- if a pager can sit an listen to a signal for 2 - 4 weeks on a AA battery, why can't a phone (smart or otherwise) do the same thing? Or in other words, what specifically is there about listening for a "You have an incoming call" radio signal, that causes more power drain than listening for a "You have a page with this message contents" signal? For simplicity sake, lets assume even a dumb phone, with no internet -- just calls -- they never did have a fraction of the standby time of a pager.
Not really. I'm just pointing out that it's not trustworthy anyway.
That does not mean anything.

You can transfer capital/IP/shareholdings/operations to lower tax countries and/or companies. However, if you're operating from SK, (simplifying things) you'll probably need to pay SK tax, and register your foreign entity in SK.

The 'general' rule is that you pay tax where the people are, in this case you.

This is not legal advice, obviously.
>But that has very little bearing on this, I simply think that there is something inherently wrong about copyright and/or patents on genetic sequences and/or organisms.

It can start a discussion on trusting it. Without that code it doesn't even start.
Agreed.

This avalanche of pro-community news out of MS since Nadella took over is about MS rebranding itself, particularly with younger people who (incorrectly or otherwise) believe that MS technologies are "greying". They can no longer take their market dominance for granted. I think it's probably too late and doubt whether they can change the perception of MS as an overall closed ecosystem.
The attached paper ("Research priorities for...") reads like a white paper intended for an NSF program office, with the idea that it might be a skeleton for a research initiative and CFP from NSF.

In my limited experience Asian countries are less flexible than western countries. In the west as long as you're paying your taxes they don't care where the money comes from. Other places you may need to do more work - set up a corporatoin, pay various benefit taxes/fees, etc.

Are you trying to integrate into SK? If not you may just want to keep things in your home country. If so, then get a lawyer. No matter what you have to pay SK taxes. The other stuff beyond taxes though can get expensive.

I think the top priority should be how a hierarchy of weak AI agents can form strong AI with the ability to rewrite its own notions and not become unstable.

I've seen very little about this, except for a video where (as I recall) a multilayer neural network can be trained while holding certain connections at a constant value. That way the network can be trained to do different tasks and then put back into those modes by setting those training connections to various values during runtime:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdIURAu1-aU

Eventually another neural net could be trained to know which values to hold to get different behaviors. It sounds like one of the goals is to reuse logic for similar tasks, and eventually be able to adapt in novel situations like our brains do. I believe there was also a bit about how time figured into all of this, but I haven’t watched it for a while.

Anyway, I’m thinking that a lot of what we’ve learned about version control systems like git could be used to let an AI brainstorm in a sandbox and replace its own code as it improves, and always be able to revert or merge if needed. Throw in some genetic programming and decent lisp machines with 1000 cores and we could really have something.

When I think about this sort of “real work”, as opposed to the daily minutia our industry gets mired in, it makes me sad inside.
