I can't speak to the puritanical, since I am an atheist and don't believe in paradise anyway ;)

I had to overcome a lot to get where I am as posted at the top of the thread, and I don't believe people are just lazy or wasteful (had to look up profligate - thanks!).

I'm curious to see examples of 'structural societal reasons' you write about for discussion, since I can only guess, and I don't want to assume.

I do, however, think there are truly lazy and wasteful people; I have known quite a few in my decades and travels. I also think they can change.

The world is a better place though in terms of worldwide people lifted out of poverty, and other indicators.
"The U.S. ranks 6th worldwide in wages, but 25th in wealth..." quoting myself from another reply above. It is because we are a debt-based society.

I saw this in my old impoverished neighborhood in Brooklyn in the 60s through the 80s, and I see it starkly in contrast here in East Java. People re-purpose stuff more readily here like my mom and dad did back home.
Now I'm curious about Puerto Rico and other territories. Anyone know the basis of the research?
It's a valid argument but in the big scheme of things it doesn't convince me. The same argument can be made for a wide array of things that are considered undesirable like, say, xenophobia [0].

I have definitely never sworn in my native language, I might have used a soft swear word in English in text a few times just due to my ignorance.

[0] Of course I recognize that xenophobia has more of a concrete "victim".

>I similarly think it should be impossible for a word to offend someone. I think it's possible for meaning to offend and really only if you respect the person enough to provide some weight to that meaning.

Sure, it's usually not the word, but the meaning ("intent").

But seriously, if some stranger comes and tells you "fuck off idiot", e.g. in the supermarket isle, then you wont be offended, because you don't "respect" them to begin with?
I have always assumed both refer to the English word bin, which is a receptacle, box, etc. E.g. trash bin.
Actually feeling offended when a swear word is used as an offence against you is a mature sign that you understand social context.
All of that sounds very familiar, both the German system as your personal story. It's quite similar in the Netherlands, only that the academic class is mostly found in professional life as well, in which they occupy the traineeships, fast-track and management positions.
The registration, too. I looked up the tail number to see what I could find out about the history of the airframe, because I'm a huge nerd like that, and the only prior aircraft with that number was a hot air balloon that crashed twenty years ago. The current registration is dated July 26.

OMG is not a swear word though -- it's just an expression of awe/amazement/surprise/etc.

The $40trn latter figure is just a vanity metric about how much money those couriers' customers (most businesses have sent or received something from them at some point during the year) make overall.

Combined revenues of USPS, UPS and Fedex are easily found and are a little over $150bn per annum
It's getting harder with Google though, as their algorithms seem to be tuned against it. I'm prety sure torrents of very popular things like current movies and music etc. are still easy to find just due to overwhelming popularity, but it's the more "fringe" stuff that has really suffered in accessibility over the past few years --- the stuff that you can't even easily find or purchase a physical copy of.
For continuations, I would actually recomend "LAMBDA: The Ultimate Imperative" (http://repository.readscheme.org/ftp/papers/ai-lab-pubs/AIM-...). It's not exactly light reading, but it gives the best explanation of continuations that I've seen.

If you just want the simple explanation: A continuation is a copy of the return stack at the instant it was captured. When a continuation is invoked, that copy replaces the stack.
To give a different view: My father was a working-class child (he is an academic). He really can't understand what the problem is: Just be very diligent in school and you will be good enough for the Gymnasium (this is the road he and in a different way his brother took). On the other hand: If you aren't very hardworking how can you even be considered as able for academic studies? In his view the problem doesn't lie in the three tracks per se, but in the fact that in many working-class families being very diligent and hardworking in school isn't valued enough. Children from academic families will much more often be drilled from childhood on to work very hard for school. He claims he has yet to see a bright child from a working-class family that works very hard for school and will not get a recommendation for Gymnasium (and because of his former job he has seen lots of children).

I also know some people who just got bored of their worker or office job and went to evening school to get their Abitur later. Again this requires being diligent and hardworking, but it is quite possible.

So I don't see the problem in the three tracks per se. Instead it is a fact that if you want to move up (or do academic studies) you better love to work very hard. And this is a behaviour that is drilled much more into the minds of children of academic families than children of working-class families.
It's like the publishing industry and digital publishing: they just don't really want it to happen at all, so they do a bad job of it.
If the function ALWAYS returns an array, then so be it. If someone's response to my function can't handle an empty array, then their method probably has other issues, and they should check their own data before calling into it.

I'll do other methods that will return an appropriate value, or null. In this way, if you can be defensive in your own code, you aren't the one called when someone hands you garbage.

Just like an HTTP server shouldn't crash because someone sends it data that should return a 4xx response.

While the stereotypes exist for a reason (and anybody who's lived in NYC or Chi-town testify to these particular ones), have to disagree with you on the being able to put up with "those" people. It's the west coast that is the outlier here as a (stereotypical) bunch of pansies who can't (again stereotypically) deal with rawness of reality.

Yes, but no.

It's more the original google fiber, when they started running their own long-haul lines to become a backbone ISP back in the early 2000s. That's how they were able to buy youtube and rapidly ratchet up the video quality offered (remember it was originally 240p!) without loses tons of money on transit fees.
Only tangentially related, but a useful thing to know about Amazon, and not something it seems a lot of people are aware of:

If you have problems with a specific shipper Amazon uses, you can contact their customer support and request they deprioritize that carrier, which has the effect of weighting it to the bottom of the shipper selection algorithm. This does not guarantee they'll never be chosen, but it does make it very unlikely.

In my own case, I had a lot of problems with Amazon's in-house fulfillment, which here in Baltimore is kind of a trash fire. (Prime Now is great. Amazon Fulfillment is not.) After an unbroken streak of erroneously failed deliveries, I spent an hour and a half on the phone with Amazon's support department, culminating in the discovery that carrier deprioritization is a thing that exists. Since it's been applied, Amazon Fulfillment has not been selected to deliver me a package, in contrast to its former high likelihood of selection. So this appears to be more than just placebo. Others have reported similar results.

As far as I can tell, in order to obtain this benefit, you need to use the specific form of words: "carrier deprioritization", or something very close to it. The specific phrase I've heard them use is "carrier deprioritization", and it'll probably help if you call it that too; I had several representatives tell me there was nothing at all they could do, until I happened upon one who mentioned this phrase. Asking for it by name may save you a lot of time.

If you've had persistent difficulty with a specific carrier, you can do worse than to get in touch with Amazon customer support and make this kind of request. Hope this helps!
> I don't understand why the EU isn't doing anything about it

The problem is that right now the EU isn't one copyright market - each EU country is a separate market, with a tonne of legacy exclusive distribution deals in place. If the EU was a single market, it would be the same size or bigger than the US market and would probably get better attention.

The EU is working on it, it just moves at the speed of bureaucracy (and of course each country has lobbyists in the local media which has those legacy exclusive distribution deals resisting it)

Here's the page on copyright harmonization: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/copyright

The plugin that comes closest is "VimStyle", which ironically has the lowest number of installs and ratings out of the top three. I assume that's because it was a bit later to market. However, the top two are garbage.
We just call them bins in the UK, not trash bins. Putting something in the bin idiomatically means throwing it away. Perhaps that's a modern usage. We do also have bread bins, which is about the only use meaning 'receptacle' I can think of outside of warehouse bins.

But in the context of bitcoin, it seems likely that if the bitcoin client originally had such a problem, someone would have already exploited it to steal funds. All the old funds, mined with the original version of the bitcoin software, are still just waiting there at the original addresses.

Especially in light of the creative crypto attacks people have done on other implementations (like the one where attackers stole from android wallets based on a flaw in the system-wide android PRNG). Money is a powerful motivator.

Personally, I like programming languages that force me to think about a problem completely differently than what I'm used to. So for mind-expansion I would suggest Smalltalk and then Prolog, because they are completely different from Haskell, much more different than Lisp/Scheme is.

I'm not an expert on lisp and AI. From what I understand lisp has been the traditional go-to language for AI research, and for "classic" AI you probably cannot go wrong with learning at least the basics of lisp. However, a lot of recent AI research seems to be on neural networks, deep learning, and statistics. I don't know how important lisp is in those fields.
There is zero reason for them to buy UPS or Fedex, zero.

Let me tell you a secret, Amazon's relationships with shipping companies are so good that they can get incredible deals on rates. That may seem obvious, but it's true and it's important. Because it means that there isn't a huge amount of savings to be had by buying up a shipping company. The advantage to Amazon would be acquiring the business of the shipping company, but those companies operate on thin margins and have to deal with a lot of hassles that our outside of Amazon's business scope right now, so overall it doesn't seem like a good idea.

In terms of vertical integration, it makes far more sense for Amazon to simply build whatever it needs itself if it really wants to, it's already done some of that with Amazon Fresh so they are keenly aware of the issues in that part of the business and have a good idea of when it would make sense to get into it or not (currently, for last mile delivery, the answer is "sometimes but usually not").
Vanilla WordPress may be the wrong target when trying to design for ease of use. Page builders have superseded the TinyMCE "visual" page/post editor.

I thought just the other day "if only there was another social network I could use instead of Facebook (and convince my friends to join it)...", so seeing there's a new social network by the guy who made Orkut sounded like good news.

However, from the website, I'm not sure "connect with people and content around your passions" is what I want. I'll wait and see how this pans out.
It may be that social heritage is a big factor in determining a person's life path, but that doesn't mean economic factors aren't. The fact remains that in Denmark, any kid, no matter how poor, who has talent and puts in the effort, has nothing stopping him from getting a degree from the top universities in the country. Tuition is free and s/he will even get paid a stipend to attend.

Perhaps most working class kids will stay working class, but others, e.g. immigrants, or children of substance abusers, who have the talent but not the resources, can go straight to the top if they just do their homework. And it works. Examples are all over the place.

>These functions are precisely why lists and vectors are not first-class values in Lisp. When you have a “list”, what you actually have is a mutable object whose current state is one list, but a later point in time, its state might be a different list! You can't bind a list value to a variable - you're only binding the identity of an object that temporarily holds the value.

...And thus we get to the crux of the matter. You seem to think that an object must be immutable to be first class. This is wrong. I usually don't like to say that people are wrong, I just make my case for my opinion, but that is objectively wrong. First-Class objects, as defined most people, have only a few properties:

-They can be created anonymously

-They act as an lvalue in assignment

-They can be given to a function as an argument

Lisp's lists, maps, and vectors are ALL first class objects, by that definition, which is the most common one.

I give up. You probably have a reasonable idea you're trying to express, by you seem to be at an utter loss to express it in a way people like me can understand.
