I don't think watching someone "code" (God, I hate this word) is going to teach you much.

It might teach you about what tools he uses, and what keyboard shortcuts he likes, but not about the more important tasks of understanding problems, and organising solutions. That's what makes writing software hard, not the "coding" part.

Someone has posted the actual script elsewhere in this thread [1].
Of particular interest is line 194:

if (location.protocol === 'https:' && queryString.search(/dlsource=hdrykzc/i) !== -1) // Patch for Lenovo - do not run on https sites

So yes, it seems someone at Lenovo was security-aware enough to demand an exception for HTTPS. Unfortunately the fine folks at Superfish either didn't understand or didn't care.

I'll probably be downvoted for this, but whenever I see something like this I wonder why the other individual got pushed. There are far too many things unsaid.
I'm not a fan of this argument. It all hinges on the assumption that information density is what a language should optimize for. The problem is that ease of disambiguation is also an extremely important feature in human languages and one that tends to oppose the goal of information density. In the extreme form, information density would suggest reducing all characters to binary or some other compressed encoding, but due to the necessity of easy disambiguation no human language could get to such an extreme state and remain widespread.

One observed example of the importance of disambiguation is the phenomena of extremely common words becoming irregular. In virtually every single language that has verb conjugations, the conjugations of the most common verbs—to be, to have, to do, etc—are irregular. As languages change and acquire verb conjugation, there is actually a documented process of irregularization for the most common words! The same is true with phonetic irregularities (e.g. "you" in English or the は particle in Japanese).

Language is read far more often than it is written. Especially in this age of electronic input, stroke reduction is a trivial concern compared to recognition of very dissimilar words such as "nothing" vs "sky" (無 vs 天) / (无 vs 天) or "noodle" vs "face" (麵 vs 面) / (面 vs 面). I think the Chinese character simplification is a fine short-hand tool, but it's not great for literacy and it's not great. Japanese simplifications, on the other hand, were a lot less extreme. They simplified some of the most ridiculous traditional characters, but generally left the semantic information in characters intact.

I used to write quite a bit about this topic:

Other languages compilers/interpreters may be compiled in asm.js and let us program in something different than Javascript (e.g. https://github.com/replit/empythoned ). Is this realistic?

I enjoyed working through this book. Actually it helped me learn enough Haskell to realize that I wasn't that interested in it. I found that it wasn't as safe as it claimed to be and that the tooling was not very good. There are some refreshing and interesting ideas, but overall I'm not sure it was worth my time.
I don't blame you :) It is the exact same assumption I made when I registered for an account. I just got lucky finding long-term projects.
This is madness. It doesn't make any sense, whatsoever, to sell wireless frequency spectrum, except a quick injection of money into the government's treasury. It only promotes monopolies and pushes new comers out of the market.

In my humble opinion, wireless spectrum should be handled like a resource that can be auctioned at an exchange. That's essentially similar to how electricity is traded in some countries.

Say, you're a telco which needs spectrum in a crowded city, go to the exchange and buy a chunk for the next day. The price will be created by demand and cost of the infrastructure providers. This way, even new comers can auction cheap spectrum in more remote areas to offer service. Also, spectrum will be cheap at night and more expensive during crowded days. By having an exchange, ideally, prices will reflect the actual cost of infrastructure providers, which should be the basis to set retail prices for customers.

So my question is: What kind of principle is behind such an idea where one company could potentially own _all_ spectrum and deny other companies the possibility to offer anything wireless at all?
Can't see how you equate the two. One is a default search provider (and easily changed), the other is forcing advertising on you.
I'm skeptical. For example, in my bedroom, I have 2 cabinets. A while ago, I moved my socks and underpants from one cabinet to the other. Afterwards, I kept going to the "old" cabinet every morning for quite a few days. I'm wondering if this is an indication how how smart my own subconsciousness is...

I would not say that Haskell is currently ideal for writing native smartphone apps. It's possible and people are working on making it easier, but it's rough territory still.

Javascript is easier, ghcjs (while still a bit tricky to install) is 1.0 and lets you compile arbitrary GHC Haskell (including all extensions, lightweight threads and STM) to JS for both Node.js and the browser. Template Haskell support is on the way too.

Calling the C FFI from Haskell is fairly trivial in my experience. If you have structs you want to manipulate from inside haskell it's a bit cumbersome and confusing initially, but if you're just using primitive types and pointers it's easy.

Haskell does very well for high-performance when it comes to IO, as-of GHC 7.8's new IO manager the fastest Software-Defined Networking (SDN) application is written in Haskell [1]. In terms of pure computation bound performance Haskell, does well enough, optimising truly high-performance Haskell is as much arcane art as optimising C (we're talking "I want microsecond inner-loops" level of optimising). In general I would say that you should expect Haskell to be around JIT Java levels of speed for most cases where the code is not blatantly inefficient. So certainly an order of magnitude faster than python/ruby.

Lots of people complain about performance reasoning in Haskell being hard, which is partially true. But mostly, IMO it is simply different from doing so in C, so you need to unlearn/relearn all your performance tweaking skills.

As for Haskell vs Clojure and becoming a better developer. I think Clojure looks like an interesting language, but I would recommend learning Haskell anyway. Why? Because Haskell is one of the "most different" languages in which people are still writing lots of real world code. Which means that it will expose you to the largest number of new concepts while still having decent practical library support. Key features, IMO are: Purity, type system, laziness, and type classes.

Incidentally, I would urge everyone to please stop using this silly "transpile" word. Compile is already source-to-source and introducing a new silly sounding word for it isn't helping anyone.

Also, why are we bitching just at Lenovo. There are software developers out there writing this shit. Name and shame the companies and staff. There needs to be a no hire and no do business with list.

Ethics go all the way down.

I'm rather disappointed though as I've recommended Lenovo hardware recently to people and use an X201 myself.
And for people working there! To be honest, the sensor is near a radiator, ambient temperature is hot, but not that much ;)
How do you figure? Reading source code is incredible helpful for understanding how to program properly. Watching somebody step through their code and solve each problem in real time would be absolutely fantastic for understanding problems and organising solutions. Also what's wrong with code as a verb for programming?
Ha! Yes, this would make it a lot easier, since I often end up disabling the same things anyway. Thank you!

If it is not too personal, can you elaborate on how you manged to work with your subconscious rather that fight against it? Was it through meditation and/or other simple practices?

Jordan Peterson - in his personality series - talks often about depression, and how tending to the subconscious can result in positive outcomes. Importantly - I think - he suggests that people should stop deceiving the subconscious, and instead listen to it, and work with it. Unfortunately, he fails to mention any meaningful ways to accomplish this.

I believe that visualization plays a huge part in learning. In reality, you'll never see "current tables" looking like that. I checked Google Images ("sqlite result") and it seems that you could benefit heaps by designing your tables a bit better so they look like http://i.stack.imgur.com/9CXVO.png perhaps.

I would also pay a little more attention to explaining what something is, and why you do it like that. Instead to me it feels more like "copy and paste this command, click run" and so you're not really learning at all. Why SELECT? Why am I using *?

I realise these explanations may come in the later lessons, but from the very beginning I should know what these are (syntax-wise). Then, as things become progressively different I can understand and follow.

I love sites like this, I think they're so beneficial but my main gripes are usually just that: the results, they really need to feel more real-world, and practical-like. Then, I want to know the why/what/how about everything in what I'm doing.

That's just me though. I may be good at SQL, but I'm damn sure I've probably missed a lot of simple things!

I haven't actually scoped anything out beyond the article, but I'm not sure this is necessarily true. I've noticed while screen-sharing coding sessions that -- for those who are interested -- it is a great way to convey how one approaches programming at a fundamental level: that a lot of it is about planning and researching and how you think about problems. That can be pretty valuable to someone with no experience but a willingness to learn.

Also, as the article suggests, the developers appear to describe what they're doing, so it could be a window into the thought process of a talented developer. I think I would have valued this quite a bit as a novice when the technology to enable this wasn't as developed.
> These people won't be spending 30% of their time coding, they will be spending 80% of it coding... and 20% helping everyone else out, and talking to leadership about strategy. People who spend 70% of their job organizing the coders are not tech leads, they are project managers (or just managers).

I think this is the different between a "Tech Lead" and a "Team Lead".

> systemd is a package of separable utilities

It is absolutely anything but that.

If I want to use GNU coreutils with my own implementation of cat, I can write my own. I have to comply to the interface of GNU coreutils' cat, of course, but as long as I do that, I'm fine.

Good luck replacing journald with your own implementation. The API isn't stable or well-documented, so there is no interface that you'd have to comply with to speak of, and even implementing your own journal reader is officially discouraged.

I often find myself thinking that systemd (which I actually use on my desktop) would be far less hated if the development team would stop claiming things that aren't true. If I break a monolithic program into four parts that can't work without each other and can't be replaced, I'm only meeting a cargo cult definition of modularity.

I don't see why the genderised versions are bad. My daughter is all for pink and princesses, something we have never (knowingly) encouraged. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't build legos at all if it weren't for the pink pieces, and the princesses! Now she builds and has learned that she enjoys the actual building process, not just playing with the creation afterwards. To me this is far more important than the way the minifigures look or whether or not it promotes gender stereotypes. Gender stereotypes are much more likely picked up from how ones parents behave than from toys. If it weren't for Lego Friends I'm pretty confident she would be playing with Barbies instead and that is worse in regards to all the bad things that can be said about Lego Friends, never mind the fact that Barbies lack the creative outlet that is the very foundation of Lego.

I'm pretty confident if it weren't for the Lego Friends series, there would be a lot of girls never learning that they enjoy the building process. Which would be a great shame. If girls learn building legos can be fun, then they might learn that CS can be fun as well :).

So the laptop vendor obviously bundles the driver and application together. And then you get an app that hooks itself in the place where you normally give your password. And might hook another application which does an alternative login method using the built-in camera (facial recognition).
That article makes sense and is along those lines what I would expect. The prediction is at the end and says to expect the car by 2025, which is 10 years from now.

That would makes sense. A complete car development within the industry is about 5 years with some companies shortened it to 4 years.

All those articles with "Apple has the experience" are non-sense. Because, if Apple had the experience, they would not need to hire that many automotive engineers. Apple has the money to buy in those experts and Apple has to money to build things for years without the need to make profit on it.
