So which newspaper is forced to run stories on topics they don't like?

I don't get how you could ever claim a private business should be forced to publish content they disagree with simply because they're a platform lots of people gravitate towards. You want to talk about erosion of rights? What next, scientific journals have to post bible passages alongside peer reviewed papers as a "counter-point"?

I guess my take on AA has always been that it gives people a reason to turn their lives around, and AA is not necessarily the reason itself that people get better. I have had friends and family recover with abstinence-only treatments for their addictions, and have also had a close family member die because they couldn't give it up.

I'm often reminded of the David Foster Wallace passage from Infinite Jest when I think about people who need to break 100% free from their addictions:

“--and then you're in serious trouble, very serious trouble, and you know it, finally, deadly serious trouble, because this Substance you thought was your one true friend, that you gave up all for, gladly, that for so long gave you relief from the pain of the Losses your love of that relief caused, your mother and lover and god and compadre, has finally removed its smily-face mask to reveal centerless eyes and a ravening maw, and canines down to here, it's the Face In The Floor, the grinning root-white face of your worst nightmares, and the face is your own face in the mirror, now, it's you, the Substance has devoured or replaced and become you, and the puke-, drool- and Substance-crusted T-shirt you've both worn for weeks now gets torn off and you stand there looking and in the root-white chest where your heart (given away to It) should be beating, in its exposed chest's center and centerless eyes is just a lightless hole, more teeth, and a beckoning taloned hand dangling something irresistible, and now you see you've been had, screwed royal, stripped and fucked and tossed to the side like some stuffed toy to lie for all time in the posture you land in. You see now that It's your enemy and your worst personal nightmare and the trouble It's gotten you into is undeniable and you still can't stop. Doing the Substance now is like attending Black Mass but you still can't stop, even though the Substance no longer gets you high. You are, as they say, Finished. You cannot get drunk and you cannot get sober; you cannot get high and you cannot get straight. You are behind bars; you are in a cage and can see only bars in every direction. You are in the kind of a hell of a mess that either ends lives or turns them around.”

No, that's only part of the story. Early on, they were using resource forks for data but metadata as well. Then they moved to filesystem attributes and those just grew. You can have tags in there, as well as text, icons, settings etc. It's pretty standardized, but on top of that, you can use Spotlight metadata too, both in the EA as well ans the V100 DB.

The Neo-Nazis are not that upset by this. They want to use the same tools to boycott the Zionist and Jews. It's actually one of the many things the Alt-Left and the Alt-Right agree on.

I know no one at Mozilla really thinks "you can trust us" is a valid claim in the privacy game so something else is up, probably not a conspiracy, but at the very least, the wrong people are making some calls.

IMHO programming is programming.

So in practice: if you can proof to me in any way that you will actually make my job easier instead of harder (which basically means you are able to write easy to understand, thought out code and you are able to deliver in the timeframe we agreed on), and you are a nice addition to my team humanwise (which in practice means that you do not behave like an asshole, and leave politics out of work) then you get a thumbs up from me.

But anyway, this is me. Other people might have other opinions.

When I hit bottom a buddy of mine said the worst thing that can happen is that you become "one of those AA assholes". There's truth there. You'll never kill a family in your car because you've gone to too many meetings.

That said, I'm an atheist, my buddy is an atheist and here in the northeast the religious part is really watered down, from what I hear, compared to other parts of the country.

I go because hearing others stories and talking to others about the being an alcoholic is really helpful.

I haven't drank in 4 years and AA was a crucial part. But I've never done the steps ( I can't even call it a higher power, that's lipstick on a pig in my book ). It's the talking to others that's helpful. People would say things, especially in the beginning, that articulated things I'd felt but unable to put into words.

In addition to speaking with other alcoholics I use philosophy, Eastern thought and stoicism, and the occasional use of lsd and mushrooms to keep me off the sauce. I never say I'm "sober" because of the latter part, but that was never my goal. I just needed to quit drinking and I couldn't.

My biggest problem with AA is the religious side. Overall the program seems to help people face their issues and take responsibility for their actions, but the toolkit, in my mind, barely gets them above water. But it is better than drowning. I'd love to see the organization revamp to catch up to the 21st century. The big book is like reading an anthropology book from the 19th century. It's sad how some people cling to it.

One feature of AA that I think a number of people fail to remember, though, is that there are meetings everywhere at many different times. For those that haven't lost everything you should certainly seek alternatives. But there's a large population of people that are so messed up they've lost everything and quite literally wouldn't know how to find help in other places.

Addiction sucks and is one of the most heartbreaking things for me to see. But not everyone that uses is an addict, whether it's alcohol, marijuana, or even cocaine.

To anyone wrestling with it: good luck, get help and know there is another side to your life. The rest of it doesn't have to be spent feeling the way you do now.

It's not forced, it is a part of the product and you are free to not use it or remove it.

Where some people might not want certain defaults, most people have no clue how to get access to software and will take whatever is already there. This is part of the reason all Windows devices come preinstalled with 50% windows and 50% OEM bloat; the OEM gets paid and the customer might 'use what is already there' and for the bloatware vendors hopefully purchase a full version or subscription.

What you want and what other people want most likely doesn't line up and never will. This is because there is no universal configuration for everyone and because the median is not going to work for anyone at all (i.e. install Garageband but not a browser, or install Numbers but not Pages)
> Pure functional is fine. Pure imperative is fine. Both in the same language get complicated.

Perhaps my programming language vocabulary is the limiting factor here, but I understand “pure functional” to refer to a non-sequential computation (no ordering, just a pure transformation) and “pure imperative” to be monadic computation in Haskell (a sequence of steps, executed one after the other). I don’t see why these two could be considered incompatible — indeed, monadic computations make little sense without pure functions to transform the values inside the monad.

Can you clarify?

I have to agree w/ lopatin overall: React is a tool for professionals. And I think it addresses your arguments very well. Being open source and powerful, its reached for by people left and right who do not (yet) understand how to architect well constructed applications.

I haven't been in the zone for months. It's mostly general dissatisfaction with my job, but it's gotten worse of late.

On an average day, there will be 4 hours of calls spread an hour or less apart for the first half of the day, with the potential for surprise calls for the rest of the day. The irony is that a lot of these calls are about why things aren't getting done.

The surprise calls are the worst. Even if I might have 2 hours of uninterupted time at the end of a day (when I am most tired and frustrated) it is impossible to get focused when there is always a looming threat of interruption. It's gotten so bad that I only get anything done late at night or over weekends, but then I am tired during weekdays and resentful that I had to throw away my freetime in order to move a project forward.

Saturn would most likely choke on memory requirements, given how much is going on in the levels, as well as lack of transparency support. Symphony of the Night was the state of the art 2D platformer for that hardware generation and it has frequent loading pauses, despite being much more static.

Dreamcast would probably work, given enough effort by people who know the platform inside and out. But then, a much lower barrier to entry is probably a significant reason as to why Sega was willing to fund another 2D Sonic game in the first place.
Note that in a large Lisp system you need certain features at compile time, but some will help at runtime (like the error handling system) to make large software debuggeable, more robust, or both.

* namespaces for symbols, in earlier days Lisp had a flat namespace

* compilation of files, means in a large system you can use 'ahead of time' compilation, where the compiler might give a lot of diagnostic messages. There is very little penalty to that, basically one can compile always and interactively.

* type declarations/hints which can be used for optimization, type checks -> see SBCL and CMUCL, and documentation

* lots of declaration forms which can be checked at compile time or runtime

* macros which can be expanded at compile-time. This can create early warnings/errors.

* function arglists, where the usage can be checked at compile-time (missing arguments, added arguments, ...)

* keyword arguments, which makes code more readable

* a very elaborate error handling system, which can not only catch errors, but which can be used to interactively or automatically repair some errors. Thus you don't get 'program crashed', but a handler gets called in the error context, which than can use provided explicit restarts. Errors types can be organized in an ontology with inheritance.

* runtime assertions and type checks work with the error system

* documentation features included: many declarations allow documentation strings

* robust runtimes which by default prevent corrupting the running Lisp as much as possible. Some earlier Lisps created unsafe compiled code. By default I would expect a Common Lisp system to detect all kinds of wrong access to data structures at runtime.

* optimizations, which can be restricted to certain code blocks

Plus

* an object system which can be used to provide extensible software, typically used to structure larger software. Also provides multi-methods which prevent being called with arguments of wrong types at runtime. Multiple inheritance. This allows a lot explicit structure in larger applications, which also can explored by reflection and which can be tailored for specific needs.

* features like macros and reader macros can increase the code density in larger software -> fewer lines of code and domain level code. By default Common Lisp favors larger identifies, but in larger codebases macros can significantly reduce code size and make external tools like preprocessors obsolete.

A different development methodology:

In static languages you tend to statically compile a program, build it, start it, test it. May be in some debug mode or with some kind of extension language interface.

In Common Lisp one may develop with a build while it is running and then make sure that these builds can be reproduced by compiling/loading the whole thing. This can reduce the typical development cycle time drastically. But different development models are possible: fully batch, pre-compiled + interactive, fully interactive.

I would assume Reddit would not want any DRM.

I can't speak to what they would use for a CDN.

Decoding support in HTML5 is pretty good (except for HEVC). The only things that Reddit would need to care about are file size and audio. It seems likely that Reddit would reject audio, or categorize videos that have it, so it could give fair warning.

Can the downvoters give a reason. I like hearing from those who disagree with me.
That hasn't been true in many many years.

Multicore processors literally run several things at the same time. Even a single core can literally run several instructions at the same time thanks to instruction level parallelism, in addition to reordering instructions, predicting and speculatively executing branches, etc. The processor also has a cache subsystem which is interacting with the memory subsystem on behalf of the code -- but this all works in parallel with the code. Memory operations are executed as asynchronously as possible in order to maximize performance.

What's more, outside a processor, what we call "a computer" is actually a collection of many interconnected systems all working in parallel. The northbridge and southbridge chips coordinate with the instructions running on the CPU, but they're not synchronously controlled by the CPU, which means they are legitimately doing other things at the same time as the CPU.

When you read something off disk, your CPU sends a command to an IO controller, which sends a command to a controller in the disk, which sends a command to a motor or to some flash chips. Eventually the disk controller gets the data you requested and the process goes back the other way. Disks have contained independent coprocessors for ages; "IDE" stands for "Integrated Drive Electronics", and logical block addressing (which requires on-disk smarts) has been standard since about 1996.

Some part of your graphics card is always busy outputting a video signal at (say) 60 FPS, even while some other part of your graphics card is working through a command queue to draw the next frame. Audio, Ethernet, wifi, Bluetooth, all likewise happen simultaneously, with their own specialized processors, configuration registers, and signaling mechanisms.

Computers do lots of things simultaneously. It's not an illusion caused by rapid context switching. Frankly, the illusion is that anything in the computer is linear :-)

Physicists and Mathematics majors can only be better than a CS grad, if they come prepped with Softwrae Development experience. A CS grad can communicate better with the code they write and most of the time assuming it's straight CS have knowledge and experience of ML that exceeds a Physics/Math major.
