He's not saying it's Apple's term exclusively, only that Apple prefers to call it Golden Master (GM) instead of Release To Market (RTM). It's not a copyrighted term by any means.
I lol'd when he made the jib "this is our great new language; it can't do assignments! ".

That's exactly how I felt when I first started with FP.
I feel the same way. As crazy as people like him are, if he weren't there being all crazy, we probably wouldn't have as much software freedom as we do.
first thing i did, lists:map(fun(X) -> X * 2 end, lists:seq(1,100)), and it worked! very cool.

next thing i did: application:which_applications(), and that didn't work.
I've heard many people say the same thing, but I'm not sure I would necessarily believe them without proof. Him, I believe.
There have been several articles recently about how money isn't a motivator for developers. But really, Apple is doing just fine getting cool applications, they don't need such a contest. If you have a really cool idea, are you waiting around for a contest to bother developing it?
> people will slowly turn back to piracy.

Wait, when did the people who turned to piracy in the first place turn away so that they could “slowly turn back”?

I think its more “the pirate subculture will slowly update its rationalizations”.
OK, I'll imagine I'm a cyclist, trying to cross a four-way stop. When I was a teen, I used to do exactly that, riding my 10-speed on the sidewalk. This is how it goes:

Approach the intersection, coasting and then braking. Come to a stop, with feet on the ground. Optionally, dismount. Wait for a big gap in the stream of cars. Walk or ride across the intersection, remounting as necessary, and then continue on riding.

I'm not seeing the extreme danger here. It's not possible for a car to make a right turn because there isn't any car. The cyclist doesn't cross until the cars are gone.

Urban adjustment: there might be a "walk button", and there is a chance that it is actually connected to a traffic signal. Cross only with the walk indicator active.

I don't see any reason why this should be illegal. It's far safer than the alternatives.
Also 'linkage'. And 'data' the name you give things when you're not naming them.

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. :-)

I'll have to take a look at adding that feature! In the meantime, you could consider iframing the site. I know this isn't ideal, but it might work depending on your use case.
I'm earwormed with the Billy Bragg song, myself.
This guy is deathly truthful: "Link prefetching will probably pop up in Opera, Chrome and Safari soon, and in Internet Explorer sometime around 2020."

Neat little tidbit though, I'm interested in how this work with regard to the cache control/expiry headers (for dynamic pages).
> Yeah, but at least most other browser vendors merely distort the truth

promotion, marketing, ads, they are not meant to tell the truth. If you want truth, use your own judgement.
To my mind the interesting thing here is it leaves writers less beholden to the decisions of editors than has been the case prior. While there are MANY benefits to going through a publishing process, especially at larger houses, being denied because none of the editors get it, even for some already big name authors, forces anyone who wants to write full time to take editor tastes into account at least somewhat when picking projects.

This option lets same writers, though more so the ones who already have a fanbase, have an alternate choice from fighting through finding a publisher who will take your book.

Actually, I wonder if kickstarter, or perhaps something similar but designed specifically for fiction, could work as a method of testing a market for the viability of a book to be published in eformats.
That, and I thought link rel="next" already existed… and had a more semantic meaning than pre-fetching.

It (and its brother, rel="prev") are meant to inform the browser (which then hopefully informs the user, but that never took off) of what the next or previous page is (in contexts where that makes sense). Maybe it's the next page of an article (evil!), or the next blog post in line. Whatever.

Anyway, this has been around for a while, even mentioned in this post from 2008: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2008/06/21/minimalism

So it's more accurate to say that Firefox likes to prefetch pages, and will use <link rel="next"> tags to guide it. If you're going to be pre-fetching pages anyway, that seems a reasonable enough way to decide what to fetch, but I agree that I'd prefer pre-fetching to be off.
The medical establishment might hate the idea, but I think most doctors would like it in action.

The series "House" is not a good depiction of what doctors do. "Scrubs" is a lot more accurate - busy professionals diagnosing and treating mostly unsophisticated patients.
So you can't delete delete a picture if other people, who don't own it, like to look at it?
If your doctor won't prescribe them, find a new doctor. You need a doctor who is going to work with you in this situation.

I've been in a similar situation myself. Having a doctor I could sit down with and say "OK, here's my latest research, can we try this?" was critical to both my physical and mental wellbeing.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint), it became my job to find out what was wrong with me and his job to make sure I didn't hurt myself in that process. I have a very different view of the medical industry as a result.
I could be more sympathetic to Google if there were any dark web activity in evidence on Parler.

This didn't happen until Trump was booted from Twitter and reported to have joined Parler.

Keep it creepy, Google.
I agree with your take.

And I'm not saying that all people who work with IT are going to be protective of their privacy. Just saying that they are more likely to have an informed understanding of the mechanics of computer monitoring/tracking from which to develop possible concerns.

This is exactly how internet censorship started in countries like China and Iran. Nobody should have this power.

Iran used the same argument to block Telegram because a few groups were teaching people how to make coctel-molotov. But, Telegram was actively being used by peaceful protestors and other groups (real targets) as well. Blocking Telegram was condemned by the US and the EU.
If you're on the highway and you find that everyone else seems to drive on the wrong lane, it may be worth considering if it isn't you who is driving on the wrong lane.

Does anyone have experience how hard it is to add something like this to an existing EU breaker panel? I'd love to have this but, since I'm living in a rented flat, I'm not very optimistic about being able to retrofit it.

Just for clarity, that snippet is talking about the actual CP/M code from Digital Research, not CP/Mish...which is BSD licensed.

CP/M was a commercial product, now sort of abandonware. The last holder was Caldera/Lineo. See the bottom of the FAQ page on the "Unofficial CP/M" site: http://www.gaby.de/cpm/faq.html
100% agree, having different point representations is a pain.

I also don't like it when they're represented as objects (which is almost always the case). It seems so much more powerful, and expressive to me to just keep it as a tuple, so that you can work with matrices of points.
It seems like you could get most, if not all the way, there with an "isomorphic" Redux store on client and server side, along with a custom Redux middleware (very easy to write and well-documented) that reads actions from and writes actions to whatever connection you have set up. That way, your initial "giant json object" on the client is just the current store state and your "streaming updates" are just redux action objects going over the wire. You'd probably want some extra metadata attached to the objects (e.g., a uuid field and an ack field containing the last action's uuid) and youd have to deal with all of the usual synchronization problems in your middleware, but you'd have a solid starting point, at least.
Indeed. I'll often see experts in their fields and otherwise very interesting people retweet and reply to stuff I absolutely don't care about, or have already heard enough of.

Sage advice from an obvious veteran in the field.
He should have put the wrong answer on the website. Anyone who just copies it will get a 0 for being wrong. Anyone who actually thinks about it and notices the difference shouldn't fail, imo, since that's appropriate, thoughtful use of the internet.
Depends on the context. If you're saying something that's meant to impliy a positive connotation then it means something good. Otherwise its bad. That's how I differentiate.
Not to mention that for all the money the US spends on anti-terrorism, the real threats lie in a lifestyle that is unhealthy and exacerbated (at an accelerating rate) by suburban sprawl, increasing sedentary work and play, and poor nutritional choices. The more the US embraces this lifestyle, the more that they put themselves at high risk of early death due to car travel.

One day everybody will wake up and see insane anti-terrorism spending for what it really is: corporate welfare.
Yeah it's not like many cities all over the world already have 10%+ biking numbers, pack it up everyone, it's an impossible problem.
> How many people actually exist in this country that have no form of ID? You need it for even getting various utilities in some areas (maybe all?)

I don't have hard statistics, but for the photo ID usually advocated for, that number is going to be something like 5-10%.

> Further, why can’t we fix this issue? If it takes 3 hours to get the ID then compensate hourly workers to get it and pass a law requiring jobs to allow time for such a thing. Why because it’s difficult for some we give up on the entire idea of requiring IDs?

I would have no problem supporting voter ID laws if the issue of the difficulty of obtaining voter ID were addressed. However, my experience is that nearly every politician who advocates for voter ID laws is unwilling to address these measures, because their real goal is usually to disenfranchise voters who will vote for the opponent.

I recorded a concert my wife conducted using a borrowed $4,000 Sony HD camcorder that looked really sharp and shot nicely in low light. I could never justify spending $4,000 on a camera that I'll probably use 10-20 times, but I also didn't like the idea of buying a sub $1000 1080p video camera that had crappy low light shooting.

Enter the T2i. $830 (for the kit, with Bing cashback, RIP) and it shoots even BETTER video than the $4000 video camera. For the pieces my wife writes, I'm usually on a tripod doing a wide shot anyway, and I'm usually indoors where it's low light, and the results from the T2i are stellar.

Unfortunately, being a "still camera that also does video" it does have it's drawbacks. I can't hit record, then leave it for an hour... it only shoots about 12 minutes of 1080 footage at a time, and the last time I shot about 45 minutes of footage, I started to get overheating warnings on the camera.

Nonetheless... this is the beginning of something awesome. Professional video is about to go the way professional audio went.

Writing optimized code generally involves looking at larger sections of the problem / code base and picking a different approach based on global conditions.

So, when you and the compiler are booth looking at the same code base, but you find a better local approach based on a global condition you have beaten the compiler. Even if all you did was tell it about that condition.
Simple min and max on my computer reliably seems to take less time than the sorted solution, and also makes more sense to read. This is what I would intuitively expect anyway with the overhead of making the array.

>>> timeit.timeit('x=4; y=3; x, y = sorted([x, y])')
0.49517297744750977
>>> timeit.timeit('x=4; y=3; x = min(x,y); y = max(x, y)')

I think the analogy is about being the sole portal and walled garden, rather than a browser. For a long time AOL didn't have the browser, just internal content. It morphed from online for the leaders to internet for grandma and grandpa. Going too much beyond this will break the analogy.
Well that clinches my decision.

I've been getting around on public transit for quite a long time, but have been thinking of getting a car.

This applies to any language with static types. Or that allows code to be separated in multiple files, for that matter.

In Haskell, I can literally ask the editor to list me all functions that operate on type X. Even in C written with a modicum of coding discipline, 90% of the functions relevant to type X will be defined in X.h, wherein 100% of the functions in X.h are relevant to type X. (And the 10% of functions relevant to type X that aren't in X.h? Well, in Java, they also wouldn't be part of class X anyway.)
In one of the bargain-binned dot com frenzy era books, I remember an AOL executive dismissively claiming that they (AOL) could put a AOL login or logout popup ad that said "Click here to pay $19.99 for absolutely nothing" and some fraction of a fraction of their customers would buy.

It cannot be ruled out that those kinds of ads won't ever come to Facebook. Ads that buy with one-click (despite Amazon's patent) and rely on partial user confusion and deception as a business model.
The big difference: programming is a creative endeavour (1) whereas accounting for the most part, is not (2).

(1) Even when working on a precise assignment, the latitude of choice, style and tools one can employ is much wider than in most other professions. It's also rare that there is a single, well understood and uncontroversial way to perform a task.

(2) Yes, even taking "creative accounting" into account.
While I oppose them, it's not clear how pronounced an effect non-compete laws have on companies locating/starting in a given state. Lots of states that are less restrictive than California on non-competes--such as Massachusetts which turned back another effort to restrict non-competes this year--still seem to do quite well.
It has two different parsings:

avoid (success at all costs)
(avoid success) at all costs

The first is more apt description of Haskell's design, the later is more of a joke.
Most people don't realize how anything they rely on work, not exclusive to the internet.
Linux ISOs are always the example people come up with when they're defending protocols and methods which are primarily used for illegal purposes.

The original post for DropShip gave, as an example, the trailer for a movie. Not the movie itself, but the trailer. That's the equivalent of saying "I've developed this great way to share files, such as videos, but am not going to explicitly say that it could be used for piracy even though everyone knows that that's the only thing it will be used for."
No, I think something minimal is probably going on here. My spidey sense tells me Dropbox is not the evil empire trying to suppress freedom of expression among coders. I can imagine that were I in Arash's shoes, I too would be very worried about impending Rapidsharization of my service.

That doesn't mean Dropbox handled this flawlessly. They appear not to have. It does, however, imply:

* The nerds angry about the request to take down the code are not in fact creating a PR nightmare for Dropbox, because they are helping to spread the word that Dropbox is hostile to this use case.

* That Dropbox is probably not going to switch into kamikaze legal mode to keep people from talking about their protocols or building tools, because it was the particular use case fostered by this tool that set them off.

You are free to disagree. I promise not to caricature you as a supervillain for having done so.
>It's a classic lease vs. buy argument.

Sorry, I guess i wasn't clear. I meant renting a dedicated server, which I thought was comparable in cost to 'the cloud' - buying, of course, is more expensive in the short term and cheaper in the long term.

Personally, I think a /whole lot/ of the pain of owning (small amounts) of hardware is that most of the co-location vendors spend inordinate amounts of time trying to 'extract maximum value' (meaning, they fuck around on getting you a price, trying to get the max value you will accept.) I'm considering getting back in to the co-location business[1] in part because of this, and in part because it would let me scale to the point that it would help amortize out all the time I have to spend negotiating.

Man, I just spent three hours today talking to the owner of my data center, and he /still/ didn't give me a price. "tell me what you get from the other guy" - I mean, he's a nice guy, and I didn't really mind hanging out with him, I probably even got a little bit of useful information, but three hours of two guys, both whom can probably bill out at $100+/hr, and we still didn't arrive on a price for an operation as small as mine? (approx. 150a of 120v power and accompanying rackspace; 5 cabnets or so. This didn't even include bandwidth.)

DanBlake I share your same sentiment. We went the real servers route and when someone does if they use programmatic methodologies for system administration (Puppet, Chef) you can have systems online just as quickly or systems reprovisioned in to different roles very quickly. We call it our own private cloud!

Edit: Note we are using an automated Debian preseed with Puppet installing from an internal repository to bring the systems online with minimal sysadmin interaction.
I'm not sure a glib one sentence reply, basically saying "does not!" qualifies as an effective response. I'm reminded of antennagate.

"Steve, my phone loses signal."

"Does not."

"Yes. It does. I have video."

"Well then don't hold it that way."

"What?!?!?!!"

"Well, since ALL phones do this, I guess we'll fix it. Sort of."
I don't think that the unjustified and unilateral removal of code from someone else's access or threatening anyone with legal action is ever an acceptable mistake, let alone "trivial".

The law is not a toy, and it's not supposed to be wielded casually. The DCMA is certainly not treated with the respect it is supposed to afford citizens, and this is just another example of that.

You can just get it in majority of exchanges. In case your exchange doesn't support it (like me, Coinbase and Gemini, NYC, don't support Cardano), just use swapping service like changenow.io, so buy ETH from Coinbase and use changenow.io to swap it to ADA

I've been using changenow.io and it always works. As always, don't send in really large transaction, but one by one, maybe like 3000 ADA each time (this is what I do).

No problem? Come on. The entire Firebase stack is closed source, and only available through Google. It's not like you can take your Firebase back-end and move it to Digital Ocean. If you want to go elsewhere you have to export everything, and put it somewhere else, with some other technology stack.

Your idea of vendor lock is radically different than mine.
