'socialist' is a meaningless word, because everyone has their own definition. Is Norway more of a command economy than Venezuela? No, and 'command economy' is the topic here. tbh though I can't figure out what definition of 'socialist' you are using that has Norway more socialist than Venezuela.
Heavy taxes aren't price controls. A price control says, "You must sell the product at X price."
Norway does have odd laws about alcohol sales, but are you really going to try to argue that those laws don't distort the market?
No, it's pretty clear the country was having troubles before oil ran out.
At one time, you could make a good argument for communism, but right now there's no good argument for centralized control of the economy. That's just a dead idea.
Your solution of turning it off before a possible event is a step in the right direction, but it's not reliable enough. It works ok when you get pulled over... you have lots of time between the lights flashing and officer at your window. But for a lot of situations you don't have that luxury. For example, if it is lost or stolen it'll still be turned on, or if you are arrested just walking down the street...
Or if you are grabbed when your phone is open, like dread pirate robert's.........
No..........Venezuela is a 'one commodity market' the same way Norway is. In other words, not (although it is a large part of both). You haven't been paying attention to all the nationalization and price controls and such that has been going on in Venezuela.
I'm gonna force Uber to pay a living wage or go out of business..
So.......that's what Venezuela did. And companies responded by actually going out of business (sometimes by choice, sometimes not). The economy has gotten worse and worse until now there are food shortages. Your plan hasn't ever worked in real life.
I don't really understand grand central well enough to really comment on the details of architecture, sorry, you'll have to be satisfied with a less-entertaining conversation from me:(
That said, the line between the OS and libraries is a very blurry one: Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) is a great example, because it is a combination of user space code, kernel primitives, and more all designed together.
are modern languages forced to rely on language run-time to compensate for the facilities lacking in modern operating systems?" In other words, have the languages tried to compensate for the fact that there are no new OS-level light-weight paradigms to take advantage of multi-core processors?
Another way of looking at this (not necessarily the right or wrong way) is to encourage as much as possible userland functionality, instead of putting it in the kernel....for security purposes. Linux allows userland drivers for this reason (SANE scanner drivers are an example of this technique).
From a language level, Swift has a more general type system than C# does, offers more advanced value types, protocol extensions, etc. Swift also has advantages in mobile use cases because ARC requires significantly less memory than garbage collected languages for a given workload.
I feel like this should be quoted any time a C# programmer comes along thinking they have the perfect language (unaware of what else is out there). C# is great, but it's not the greatest possible language.
Embedded programmers mostly write C, Forth or assembler.
All the same I'd be willing to bet there are more C++ programmers in embedded than Forth programmers........I've never seen a job posting with Forth, although I assume they exist. If I could find a job writing Forth, I would seriously consider it.
ok, so apparently not all data was lost, I misread the info. Bad on me, I should have read more carefully, and my other comment should be modded down for being wrong.
Uh, what kind of data are you talking about that was never stored?
The obvious thing is to restore at the most recent backup. Some data will be lost of course, but that's better than losing all data, which apparently these people did.
Knowledge, intelligence, and general inquisitiveness is dead. You just proved it by saying we need to dumb down something so people can understand it rather than explaining to people what they are getting wrong.
Uh.......how much about the aviation industry do you really expect people to understand before they drive a car? Are you trolling or do you really, actually believe that the average person knows that much about avionics?
The name "autopilot" isn't confusing at all if you think of it as an analogue of the autopilot in a commercial airplane
Yeah, it's not confusing, all I have to do is think about it for a bit, then read the article you linked to, and everything will be clarified.
As a software developer, I can tell you that all my users are totally willing to put that kind of effort into understanding. They really try to understand I'm not being sarcastic here at all.
Because if they come up with a better name, all problems are solved. They don't have to go around with complicated explanations telling people about their misconceptions. Or maybe you think it's easy to go around telling people they have misconceptions about what words mean?

They're doing that, too.

By the way, unemployment is below 5%[2], which is quite healthy.
Even U6 is below 10%, which is worth mentioning.

That's fine, I already have half the parking spot listed out on AirBnB

Have you ever even used HyperCard? Because I have, and the web is better in every way, and HyperTalk was buggy crap compared to JavaScript.
Oh hell no, just getting something centered on the page is a pain on the web. And don't even talk about lining stuff up vertically. The web is the C++ of the page-layout world: it gives us jobs.
Good point, and C#/Java programmers rarely use that for objects.
You pay for every pointer move........when a GC can actually move objects in memory
That's not actually a common need

That does seem like an Opportunistic thing to do, frankly.

I think using the facebook account might be unauthorized, though.

Rename it, it's just easier.
