Yup, these exercises come about because of pressure from internal politics (as a way to settle a battle between execs) or investor pressure.

The consultants are selling machines, the long term outcome of their advice is not relevant. They seek to create evidence of interest and adoption of the latest trend. A great example would be organizational health vs rigorous performance management cultures. The outcomes of both are contestable and contested, they are polar opposites in terms of philosophy and culture, and yet both are touted and sold by the same people.

For the consultant what matters is the booking now, the political reception preparing the way for next time in this company, and the reference and referral opportunities to generate more business. The value of what they sell and the impact of it on business success just doesn't matter - they're out here!
This only means we need better tooling and better abstractions to be able to tackle this problem.

Some oranges are sweet, and make delicious orange juice. Some oranges are sour, and make sour orange juice. When I'm shopping for oranges, my first choice is locally-grown, then organic, then I might try whatever 'conventional' orange the store happens to carry. I find some stores to be more reliable for carrying decent oranges than others. I think Trader Joe's organic frozen orange juice is more reliable than the other frozen orange juices that I've tried.

tldr: IMO organic oranges are usually sweeter than non-organic; local > organic.
Because references are values.

I have a solution. Perhaps you take the etherium users, and they can vote and elect arbitrators, let's call them judges. Then those judges can hold "court" and a selection of etherium users would act as a "jury" to decide on how to handle exceptions. Of course, we will also need to appoint people to enforce those laws. Maybe we should start with a constitution to get things all lined out...

There are other reasons for one issue one visit - it helps them avoid long sessions which inconvenience everyone else though as soon as insurance companies are involved there are perverse incentives.

Also there are different structures for payment, insurance and pay per visit are simply not necessary with single payer though some systems use an amalgam of public/private.

Hours? Even back with locomotive-pulled trains where you actually had to shunt the cars to a different platform that should be below 15 minutes, and today, it adds less than three minutes to the train that is longer at the platform (Ohlsdorf, Hamburg rapid transit).

Provided that both trains arrive on time.

And doing in in flight is much harder (and not legally possible), but if you would want to join/separate in the outskirts to get one into town and the other on the bypass, just the stopping and reaccelerating will cost some minutes.
Having the US department of defense be able to forge certificates for every site world-wide, in every major browser - out of the box - might be a little too much, even with the CA system as broken as it is.

On the other hand, if you run your own CA and mostly care about your own users - using a cert signed by your own CA makes sense - to a certain extent.

Fully agree. No need for the shitty parts of UNIX to be in a new OS. Use full names. I've never used OSX/macOS but I do admire how they've gone about doing the whole UNIX thing, there seems to actually be some standard to it unlike the LSB and from what I gather to uninstall a program you just delete it's directory. Try doing that on literally any other mainstream OS!

Closing over value types could capture by value and make a copy, like you would typically do in C++ when capturing values in lambdas.

Of course, since value types are immutable, that would be a bit memory wasteful I guess.
I think there's a big problem with most voters remembering the Good Times under a Liberal government when we had a massive mining boom and the country was doing well. Now things are slowing down - I suspect the next few decades will be bumpy when China stops buying everything we dig up out of the ground.

Things could have been much better if we'd taxed the hell out of the miners, like Norway's Oil Fund.
Like others have said, if you are already disposed to have a psychiatric problem - especially one that includes episodes of psychosis - pot is likely to make the problem come to the forefront. To be fair, there are a lot of other things that can cause the same - stress, for example. A lot of major mental illnesses start when folks are in their late teens or early-to-mid 20's as well, making the timing of such experimentation coordinate with the disease onset.

Doesn't mean one causes the other, though. More that one can (but doesn't always) bring out some of the symptoms. It surely isn't enough of a link to ban it for that reason, unless we want to ban things like stress, which can also bring on symptoms if you have the "right" setup for it.

Not all RFID cards are created the same. Most RFID cards that are some kind of "smart" (i.e. contactless bank cards, subway tickets) conform to ISO/IEC 14443 standard that mandates the use of ~13.5MHz carrier to communicate between the reader and the card. This is "the NFC" as your phone understands it.

Proximity cards used for door access usually have the 125kHz carrier compatible with the EM-Marin EM4100. No cell phones I know of have an antenna for this frequency range; therefore, no phone can read, clone or emulate an EM-Marin proximity card.

Since the HID Proxcard II is a "value priced 125 kHz proximity card", you cannot use a phone to read it.

> Note that these is absolutely zero gains with the second approach if the compiler doesn't enforce it.

The compiler enforces it by the fact that you can't pass in the return value from one thing (that might not be a valid value) into the next function that takes an argument that must be a valid value. Your objection that "but I can unwrap/call value without checking so it's useless" is a commonly raised objection - but it's a false one.

With nulls

var x = get_something
do_something(x) // ok even if x is null

With option/maybe

x = get_something
do_something(x) // compiler err

x = get_something
do_something(x.value) // ok, *concious action by developer*

x = get_something
if x.hasvalue
do_something(x) // ok

The difference in safety between having to make a concius unwrap IS the whole point of the feature. This works exactly the same everywhere. You can always ".unwrap()" in Rust for example. Having to unwrap, or unwrapping without checking first isn't wrong, in fact it's often right. Unwrapping the value first means "extract the value if it exists, or otherwise panic right here". This decision to "assume success or otherwise panic" is a clear intent that the next developer can read.

There is a new VM with Method JIT coming to MRI.

It just means with this new policy people stop using combat boots for every day use.

I remember our college had a policy of free boots and uniforms for NCC cadets. While the uniforms were passed on from batch to batch, boots weren't. Cadets presented boots totally worn out and often asked for replacements. What was happening? People were using boots for every day use hence far higher wear and tear.

Anything offered for free is generally abused this way.
So what's the number? An abstract score?
Disagree. I deal with the C parts of Perl, Ruby and Python and better VM's on a daily basis. Ruby has by far the cleanest implementation of the VM. Almost like the VM of a good Lisp/functional lang. Python and Perl are the worst of all, on par with PHP.

Ruby is unfortunately also the slowest. But not because of the VM implementation, only because of the everything is a method architecture, even for the simplest primitives. The ruby API is pure and clean, this is what makes it slow.

For the python or perl API too much inner state needs to be handled, which makes it slow also. Because you cannot use a better design for data and code. Only php made significant advantages there recently, so you don't have to worry about inefficient data and code, only about the eye blead VM.

I don't think this is fair or even reasonable to say. It's going to be in a B&M store. You can inspect the item. The FDA/whatever organization will be inspecting food on the shelves. As for reputation, Amazon has the best customer service (tied with companies like REI) in my opinion.

I mostly agree that I don't see any positives for the customers at this point, but I don't think it's going the way of 3rd party counterfeit goods.
Yep. But how would you correctly deal with finalizers in the face of those copies? See my comment a bit deeper in the thread.
A social network being accessible only by a specific niche will severely limit its growth and reach. If that's all the network wants then that's fine but that's by far NOT how I've seen mastodon marketed.

Regardless, even being accessible by only people who know what's going on still doesn't guarantee success. There is still significant friction there. I know HN decentralized everything is pretty popular but when it comes to UX I've never seen it test well because I haven't seen a good enough UX to just about any decentralization of a normally centralized service that also lowers friction of use.

He was a thief, in the spirit that the money invested in the DAO was never intended to go directly to one individual (i.e. him). It was an error in the contract, as outed by numerous individuals.

Code as law is right, but laws can (and should) change, because the effect they can have can be devastating if loopholes do the opposite of the intention behind the law.

The fallacy here is that we have one immutable law that governs everything, that is set at one time and never changed - how ridiculous. This is utter nonsense.

The DAO was a beautiful experiment that went badly wrong. In the grand scheme of things, if this was a heist in the traditional sense - everyone would have lost out. But as it stands, it's probably the biggest bug bounty in history.

Hopefully no one got hurt. We learn and move on.

What do you mean with "full type erasure (like C/C++)"? Afaik if you have RTTI enabled you have full type information available at runtime, even for templates - which is the thing that people usually want when talking about reified generics. Is it about C++ without RTTI? Or about the fact that vector<int> is compiled completely separate from a vector<string> (monomorphization)? I think the latter one is an orthogonal issue to whether type information is available at runtime.
Funny, as a Kiwi living in Victoria it seems to me that, while prices have climbed a bit over the last few years, electricity costs here were incredibly low... I wish NZ was represented on that chart.

That said, my per kWh charge is about half the "market" price shown for Victoria there (although I do pay $0.94/day on top of that, which I guess brings it up a little), and that's after a 10% price hike about a year ago. Who's paying those prices?

Use Debian Unstable on the desktop, and Debian Stable on the server. Despite the name, Unstable is pretty stable - it's just making it clear that you're dealing with relatively fresh packages and these often break as they're not battle-tested.

Unstable isn't built from bleeding-edge nightlies, but it's generally up-to-date.
What qualifies you is paying taxes, so basically if you're on a business visa you get it--if there are other visas which allow you to legally work and pay taxes, they might qualify you as well.

They assign you to a particular hospital when you enter the program, and you're entitled to free care at this hospital, if you need a procedure they can't perform, they'll refer you to another government hospital which will also be free. Waiting periods sometimes are long, so it's a good idea to have private insurance as well. Foreigners in Bangkok at the moment all seem to be getting assigned to a hospital in Phrakanong which has a pretty good reputation. You can change your assignment later, I've heard the Police General Hospital on Rama I is very good.

I've heard it's also possible to remain in the program after your employment ends if you pay a small monthly fee (maybe $15).

There is also a Thai equivalent of the USA's social security program, though the payouts are very modest.

Overall it is a good system, you just have to be aware of the limitations of Thai insurance in catastrophic cases (probably I will switch to an expensive expat health insurance plan in the next year or two because of this).
Cannot agree. Ruby loves its MOP, python loves its method overloads.
Both are highly magic, but a MOP is technically superior to overloads, because you just flip the vtables and don't have to look at every single method call, if some python programmer decided to overload it. Perl has no builtin MOP, and even worse overloads than python.
i am on my fourth mattress, i took advantage of the 3 - 6 month trial periods with these new online delivery mattress companies. :) if any more of these keeps popping up, i could probably have a free mattress for whole 2 years! i'm sorry but i'm just very picky i guess. :/

honestly, lull is the best one so far for me. it has the most tempurpedic style cushy feeling where your body seem to melt. i was most disappointed with ghostbed with casper not too behind. leesa was also good too imo. next i want to try is purple. gotta love this new trend, hope there are more of these in other categories.

> What's really happening, I suspect, is that we're living in a time of great change where all existing institutions are steadily decaying and eventually collapsing.

I'll add to that that finally the law of compound interest seems to have reached its limits, the same as Moore's law. Capitalism has been riding on its tails for the last 200 years or so, but IMHO we're in new territory right now where the good and steady returns are no-where to be found anymore.

Unsurprisingly, I don't remember much from these lectures. Fortunately that is not all professors, but it worries me how large a percent of them were like this.

Some years back I was using testing. It was the year they changed over from Gnome 2 to Gnome 3. I couldn't use the stable release because my mainboard and cpu wasn't supported.

Boy, was this a hard process. It took some months until my system worked without GDM crashes. After that I changed over to Arch and been a happy Arch-er since than. I wouldn't recommend running testing.

I've heard that unstable is more like Arch linux and the rolling release model of Arch Linux works very well for me.

1 & 2) Read my comment again. My remark about functors (in the ML sense) addresses this point. I'm quite well versed in how type abstraction works. Your comment about being aware of underlying type details is completely non-sensical with respect to nesting. The problem you're worried about applies to non-disjoint union types, ie dynamic typing, not Go's typical use of type-safe pointers. Nil is type-safe in Go, there's no risk of confusing:

a nil *Foo with a nil *Bar

3) You say "meh", but abstraction for the sake of abstraction is exactly what drives working programmers away from so called "better" languages.

4) Meh.
