You have a confused view of the realities of "individuals" vs "industry".

Yeah, and imagine if all that GPU power used by gamers was used for protein-folding.......yeah, this was sarcasm.

Is this a joke? Is Facebook becoming a parody of itself? Are the inmates running the asylum? Irrespective of the legality, it's bizarre that they would roll out some creepy, facial recognition right now...especially in Europe.

You misunderstand. The intermediate step in programming productivity has nothing to do with any particular language. I would have not done "Scala 3", but something else that implements "intermediate step up in programming p

I wouldn't have called it Scala 3. And if I had the big brain of Martin Odersky, 5 years ago I would've had started thinking about an intermediate step in programming productivity, correctness - instead of doing Doty. I don&#x27

I don't think many companies are betting on Scala anymore. F# is just as irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Let's face it, Kotlin hurts Scala adoption.

by Bizarro 9y ago
Yeah, I don't think Scala 3 changes anything with regards to perception and/or adoption of Scala. That ship has pretty much sailed. Martin Odersky seems like a really good language designer. I took a look at the Scala 3 language

Let's apply the same logic to non-digital goods and services: Do you believe it is fundamentally wrong for a government -- even with significant public support -- to interfere with one anonymous man's Galtian quest to sell radium

Challenging power that might or might not be legitimate or have jurisdiction is prudent and responsible. Claiming random regulatory body has a "ruling" just because some guys typed something into a document isn't responsible.

How are you gonna prevent anarchy? Cats and dogs living together...oh my. Let me clue you in on something. In free societies there's risks and individuals make bad decisions, and we live with it. We don't need someone policin

How that should work in practice is still being worked out--in the halls of tech companies and legislatures all over the world. You finally got to the crux of your argument after contorting around a bad analogy. Only tech companies and l

The Odyssey is a blast from the past. I remember playing with that before I think the 2600 even came out.

Is it safe to download an installer from sourceforge these days?

We need Carmack to do an analysis.

It's disturbing the number of people here calling for and defending the need for a Ministry of Truth.

Can production-level, front-end developers get some cool design devtools too? I've never been able to play around with Sketch because it's Mac only. Every browser-based, UI design tool that I've ever played with has been so

I remember being over at my dad's house and watching the HBO signal intrusion happen. But how times have changed. These guys would be doing some serious prison time these days.

I've never driven a Tesla or any other kind of "autopilot" car. But for the current kind of systems, what I would really like is something to take evasive action, not drive for me. I know some non autopilot cars have those s

You'll see municipalities and then states banning cars starting off using soft incentive based approaches, then harder approaches once enough people switch over. Many states (red) won't ban them for a very long time. the impact on

I'm somewhat regretting not moving over to Vuejs from React when I had a better time opportunity. And I actually like JSX.

No, you're probably in the majority. The problem isn't really the core concept of Redux, but needing to integrate the whole ecosystem around it - thunks, sagas, selector library, various other middleware. Standard redux is just t

Great write-up. I pretty much agree with everything Sam said. I'd add one caveat about working out though. Be sure to monitor your fatigue the next couple days after a workout. It's surprisingly easy to overdo it, and feel let

Is there any solid theory that these movie scenarios would play out in the real world? Frankly, I don't want to even estimate the orders of magnitude of difficulty in seeing AGI come to fruition over ML, so I think you, I, and anybody

Good. We don't need that much "news" anyway. The "we" is where you have a problem.

GDPR explicitly states that it (generally) only applies to companies which do business with people who are within the EU's borders (citizenship is not a prerequisite of GDPR protection) or EU businesses. There is no jurisdiction if t

We have publicly funded broadcasters in most EU countries. The ad-supported news sites, on the other hand, are generally doing more harm than good. Why am I not surprised that a European is saying that the government-backed "broadcas

And since I can't reply to the parent directly, I'll just say that there is no international law that covers this. None, zilch, zero....so anybody says that you're somehow beholden to GDPR when you have 0 presence in the EU

It's not true, but something that is bantered about on HN by people that wish it was true. Think about it. If it was true, then the entire global legal system would get very chaotic. Frankly, the political agenda by people telling thes

Just make sure it's really a product manager position and not a project manager position if you decide to go in that direction. A product manager (IMO) "owns" the product, where a project manager tends to wander around tryin
