Python2 unicode is not broken, the basic type str() is broken because it defaults to ascii.
The market needs signals, and the point of Goldberg was that those signals are missing with arxiv, and that just looking at the lab reputation was a poor signal. I am working on it, contact me for details.
Treating it as a profession rather than keeping it in the black market would probably go a long way towards reducing the horrific experiences.
Ah, my bad, I must have completely missed it. As a personal data point, I usually like to see how much a service can potentially cost me before signing up. Have you given some thought about maybe floating the price somewhere on the front page?
That's not what I meant.

A language could give you first-class-citizen constructs for things like tests and constraints that could be compiler-enforced.

Some of that can be a part of the type system such as the ability to express "positive odd prime integer between 7 and 197".

Some of that could be in the form of other constructs such as function entry and exit guards.

You can "implement" all of that on your own as part of the program but that is not the same thing because semantic meaning and intention is lost.

However when it is a first-class language-level construct it has cascading benefits and tooling can also make use of it.

This article is from 2015.

The mentioned Qorvis/MSLGroup now runs e.g. http://www.arabianow.org/ (also in German: http://www.arabianow.de/) which promotes the brutal regime of Saudi Arabia:

Our client sought outside legal advice concerning topics of DRM and copyright (we are scientists and engineers, not lawyers). In general, it is illegal to stream copyrighted content (even if you own it) to devices that are not authorized to view the content. The results of American Broadcasting Cos. vs. Aereo, Inc (2014) make it quite clear these statements extends to services that re-broadcast over the air television in a public fashion.
You compound error on error here, so I'll just focus on the first:

To me, not focusing on ticket prices looks in conflict with the law on cost/benefit analysis, inviting waste, and shortsighted.

It's not.

Public goods, a term of art in economics, refer to those for which market transactions alone fail to capture the full benefits. There may be additional factors as well including nonrivalry or nonexcludability. Even on a transit system where it seems that the beneficiaries are well-defined -- passengers -- there are nonexcludable beneficiaries: drivers who experience less congestion, the families of workers or children who can commute by transit rather than requiring private auto trips, employers who have an increased employee pool, retailers who benefit by increased foot traffic and patronage, reduced air pollution, etc., etc., etc.

So, no, farebox revenue, of and by itself, doesn't tell the full story.

The basic principles were layed out some time ago:

"The third and last duty of the sovereign or commonwealth is that of erecting and maintaining those public institutions and those public works, which, though they may be in the highest degree advantageous to a great society, are, however, of such a nature that the profit could never repay the expense to any individual or small number of individuals, and which it therefore cannot be expected that any individual or small number of individuals should erect or maintain. The performance of this duty requires, too, very different degrees of expense in the different periods of society."

-- Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations, Book V, Chapter 1, Part 3.

The problem for me is that i3 is only a part of the puzzle. I use sxhkd for a bunch of hotkeys; that has to be replaced. I use xdotool _a lot_, and I don't know if such functionality is even possible in wayland. I use scoot heavily, both as a way to screenshot from a hotkey (presumably easy to replace?) and as part of scripts; my script which locks the computer uses scrot, imagemagick and i3lock. There's probably a bunch of other small things in my system which will break by not having an X server too.
I knew there had to be some kind of catch to not see some form of successful compiler in the wild. Your comment was quite helpful!
I'm not sure what the problem is, don't any number of retail shops resell Nike trainers?

I handled a transition of a multilingual/multiencoding Python 2 project to Python 3.

Firstly, you can _still_ work entirely in bytes in Python 3 if you want to. But you can't call print on them... For good reason! You don't know the encoding to use to display them!

When we transitioned, there were a lot of subtle issues in our code due to our almost cargo cult usage of encoded/decode that ended with a lot of redundant transformations. Loads of that disappeared afterwards.

You can still operate in "Python 2 mode" in Python 3. The only exception I can think of is the difficulty in getting a bytestream version of standard output.

Also... Python 2 is decidably not like Go or Rust. The simplest example is how json.dumps would return bytes or a Unicode string depending on the keys on your object. No respect for typing

I was a little disappointed to find out it's based on the C WLC library rather than being a full Rust implementation.
Thank you! Will do!
I just had a thought that made me ridiculously excited. Like in Pony, doing FFI in Rust is unsafe for obvious reasons. But would it be possible to define a subset of the typesystems of both languages to have a possibility of calling Rust code safely from Pony? (I doubt it would work another way around, since Pony needs its runtime.) That would create super cool synergy with ergonomic and ultra safe Pony and ultra performant and safe Rust.
You likely need to add a new file under /usr/share/xsessions, copy an existing one to a way cooler oriented version

I don't understand why we should care about this anecdote. He isn't being judged based on his average behavior or his most common behavior. He's being judged based on his worst behavior.

This is like someone being caught stealing a TV, and someone else mentions that he has paid for many TVs in the past.

Maybe that's true, but he is guilty of doing something wrong. It doesn't change anything that he doesn't always do it.
Structure and Interpretation  of Computer Programs Dedication Page
"I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more"

Indeed. I think it is also important to note that the unknown factor can be something very abstract. For example if you measure the oscillations of two pendulums with the same properties, they will also be correlated, but simply because they are driven by the same underlying physics...

Illegal yes. Unethical? Very much still debated. It's really a fascinating debate once you go looking for quality arguments.

Lawrence Lessig (creator of Creative Commons) has a couple of great keynotes, and books, setting the tone for the battle ground.

Benklers Wealth of Networks is another great resource covering similar topics.

Then you have the clear opposition variants such as Stallmans arguments. The book Against Monopoly is also a good read on this angle (this one is more about patents than copyright though)

I don't recall the source right now, but there is also this fascinating history of copyright in Europe and the statue of Anne which, ostensibly, was mostly about censorship and not at all about authors rights or ability make a living.

First step is to recognize that IP is a propaganda term, designed to confuse issues and appeal to an entirely different set of laws and moral frameworks. So if you use this term, know that you've been successfully manipulated by the other side of the debate.
How on earth should people who kill over words, no matter how offensive, be called? Really, in these times of twisting the meaning of words, we should really call spade a spade and not to hide behinds untrue cliches such as "all cultures are equal and should be respected equally". Not they're not and shouldn't be. If your "culture" demands that you pour acid over the face of your ex-girlfriend, it doesn't deserve to be called "culture", and you deserve to be called who you are.
List indexing is not that fast on Python 2 too:

(py2) python -m perf timeit -s 's={0:0}' 's[0]'
Mean +- std dev: 44.5 ns +- 1.1 ns

vs. Python 3:

(py3.6) python -m perf timeit -s 's=[0]' 's[0]'
Mean +- std dev: 36.7 ns +- 0.8 ns
(py3.6) python -m perf timeit -s 's={0:0}' 's[0]'
Mean +- std dev: 41.1 ns +- 1.0 ns

It depends. It is really surprising that Python does not use tagged integers, which is a 50 year old technique used by pretty much any other dynamic language in existence.

Using an extension API breakage as the excuse to introduce them would have made sense, since it also breaks the API. Now they cannot happen until Python 4.
"Just like a biological brain the system is designed for extreme energy efficiency, It requires only 10 watts to power all 64 million neurons and 16 billion synapses."

A real human has 100B neurons and the whole body is only 100W, with the brain estimated at around 20W; theirs would require 15kW.

> Yeah - except that Aadhar is not anything like SSN.

Ok so there are differences between Aadhar and SSN - it is a different system, uses biometrics and has other differences. Just being different doesn't make it bad.

> The same way it is been done in all other countries without a biometric ID card.

And which of all those "other countries" is a developing nation, the size of India, with an endemic corruption issue and socio-economic challenges? What is the solution that worked in those countries you allude to, that would work for India?

> An inherent flawed idea can't be made perfect. More reading on why : http://www.lse.ac.uk/management/research/identityproject/

I went through the links on this page - half of them result in "page not found". Anyway, reading this gave me the impression of it being in context of UK. So I read this article about UK abolishing its national identity register[1]. The main takeaways seem to be that there were privacy concerns and they saved a good lot of cash. Frankly, with a country with a massive problem of corruption and huge amount of hidden transactions (none of which UK suffers from to the same degree as far as I know), I am (and I think Indian government is), more concerned about expanding the tax net and capturing lost revenue. Regarding the concerns about biometrics, we have had tons of schemes on which the corrupt middlemen have collected funds due to the poor. When the poor guy went to the disbursement office to collect the grants, he was shown a register where somebody had already signed and collected the funds. Biometrics avoids cases of impersonation and bank account helps direct credit of funds. I didn't see any alternative solution mentioned in the links you provided so if you have anything concrete, feel free to share.

The libraries that support server-side rendering aren't forks, they sit alongside Relay. But yes i've been using them for well over a year without any issues. I haven't tried it with Relay Modern yet, but there are examples out there of how to do it.

Relay Modern is 20% of the size (or 5 times smaller) than Relay Classic, which (if my calculations are correct, I don't have equivalent environments set up) is just over half the size of React Apollo + Apollo Client.

It is somewhat necessary, to solve the problem of Amazon, Google, Apple and others selling everything via low-VAT countries like Luxembourg.

But there would have been ways to make it much less painful to manage for small online businesses. For example a revenue limit (like 1M EUR) on cross-border sales before you have to start dealing with each country, or just an unified EU-wide VAT rate.

Java as specified is memory-safe. It cannot cause application-visible segfaults (hotspot uses segfault handlers internally for some trickery but that's not really relevant here).

Of course bugs in the JVM, native libraries or things like sun.misc.Unsafe might. But that's no different for rust, once you start using unsafe or use C libraries things might explode.
> I think Hsu's Co-dfn compiler compiles to GPU ... [I'm not sure] if it gives you a native binary you can use for other purposes.

It compiles to C++.

> The other problem is you have to have Dyalog APL, which ain't cheap.

Good isn't.

However, you can download Dyalog APL for free and use it for noncommercial purposes, including trying it out and personally learning how to build an APL compiler.

I think this is pretty clear from the website.

> I think a new array language that has a REPL that JITs to LLVM (good for prototyping, debugging, and testing) and AOT compilation to LLVM for scripts would be amazing for sharing code and deployment.

Why do you think that?

I don't see how LLVM helps with any of that. The hard part of writing an APL compiler is parsing and analysis, and that means finding an algebraic morphism between APL and CPUs (or GPUs) that you can do meaningful things with. It isn't making executables.
It was really hard, and took many spammy attempts, but you can do it too!

The problem with situations like this is there is a lot of context we are not seeing. Maybe its a very genuine apology. Maybe its an attempt at damage limitation. Maybe he was really pushy when hitting on the women and wouldn't take no as an answer. Maybe he was polite and took no for an answer the first time. Probably why the situation is fairly controversial as there are so many unknowns that would make the situation seem better or worse if we actually knew the full story.

As a non-French, I wouldn't say that being proud of the Minitel was misplaced at the beginning, as it was a great accomplishment for its time. The problem was sticking to it when a clearly superior alternative emerged - reminds me of the "not invented here" problem.
