> ... privacy as a "much greater good" is open to debate

I agree, but that's a different topic, really. The comments here aren't about the (un)/importance of privacy. The main debate seems to be either about the technicality of the law and its possible unintended consequences, which are legitimate concerns, or they're about how "this is gonna make my job much harder," which is not really a legitimate concern in this context, and those comments were the ones I was talking about.

> Google's current ecosystem of data-sharing means that Assistant can make educated context guesses on what I mean when I talk to it based on my browser history and map navigation history. If the new privacy constraints damage that passive interconnection, that's not a net good for me.

I think we're overestimating a technical difficulty here, and downplaying a moral principle.

Providing a personalised service without storing large amounts of personal information in a central location is not impossible. It's just technically harder to do.

And even if it was impossible, then still, we need to sort out the moral consequences first. Not by banning technological progress of course, but perhaps by bringing more oversight to corporations. Or by making sure that people of lower socioeconomic background aren't hit harder than the wealthy.
See, now you fell for the same fallancy. Something that is smart must surely be more expensive, but this is seldom true. A method that is simple is easier to describe, easier to implement and could very well be more performant than a more complicated one.

You could buy mosaic tiles in the forms (they exist), and put those then together.
You get something similar to with static methods and properties on class definitions. In plain ES2017-ish class syntax:

class Test {

static value = 1;

static someStaticMethod = () => {
return 5;
}

}

console.log(Test.value) // 1

console.log(Test.someStaticMethod()) // 5

Edit: Sorry, this actually a Stage 3 TC39 feature. Not sure if you can use it with flowtype (I think you can), but you might be able to if you enable babel with stage-3 features:

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-class-fields

You don't actually need this fancy class syntax anyway. You can just define a class and then do:

Test.value = 5

Test.someStaticMethod = () => {
return 5;
}

The class stuff is just sugar over the prototype stuff anyway, and a class is just a constructor function object with a prototype chain.

Agree 100%. And I think that what is commonly thought of OOP (the Java model) suffers greatly from real-life analogies like that. Not everything fits into neat hierarchies – not in real life and not in code.

I also think that the concept of "class" suffers from a great amount of un-orthogonality. A class packages together a memory representation, an encapsulation boundary, an interface that defines functionality and a unit of type parametrisation. I find the way how Rust separates modules as the unit of encapsulation, traits as the unit of functionality and structs as the units of memory representation, very elegant.

Now if one could type-parametrise modules...

We've shared enough threads that I think you can predict my response to this. I find it aggravating when people suggest that our understanding of dragnet Internet surveillance is new, and that it came from leaks. The NSA's access to online communication was understood as a ground truth in the 1990s. You can read the first edition of Applied Cryptography to see it.

If anything, the last 10 years have diminished my respect for SIGINT capabilities.

A thing I think people lose sight of when trying to put this stuff in historical perspective is that in the 1990s it was not only possible but actually sort of routine for entire ISPs to be owned up. There were instances of solsniff.c getting access to backbone traffic. None of it was encrypted. Internet surveillance in the 1990s wasn't hypothetical. Clueful people's homedirs would get traded in the "underground" and they'd be tarballs full of .pgp files, because everyone knew they were going to get owned up somehow.

No, it's mostly driven by the differing semantics despite happening to have similar syntax. Syntax is a surface polish that people focus on a lot, but doesn't drive the core language behaviour.

There are no pointers because just about every culture distinguishes between empirical and logical truths. I'm not sure if he's just being cute, but there's a very clear philosophical difference between math and science. This is not a pedantic distinction.

Disclaimer: I am one of the Flink committers.

While Flink has in fact no direct SQL entry point right now (and many users simply wrap the API entry points themselves to form a SQL entry point), the other statements are actually not quite right.

- Flink as a whole (and SQL sits just on the DataStream API) works local, distributed and embedded as well.

- Flink does not have any external dependencies, not even Kafka/ZooKeeper; it is self-contained. One can even just receive a data stream via a socket if that works for the use case.

- Flink itself has always had exactly-once semantics, and works also exactly-once with Kafka.

> it would /could look fundamentally the same.

Yeah, the usage does, but the definition does not, the implementation does not, and the features are very different.

For example, "new" is just a convention here, not an actual constructor, as Rust does not have constructors.

> You create a window object and then call a bunch of its methods (mutating its state). That's OOP.

It depends on what you mean by "object". If structs are objects, then OOP boils down to only "you can use x.y() instead of y(x)", which I don't think is a good way to think about programming languages or their features. YMMV, of course.

> I think the Rust people just desperately

I can assure you, that's not the case for me at least; I love OOP languages enough to have both Ruby and Perl logos tattoo'd onto my body.

I don't like saying Rust is OOP because of said definitions elsewhere in the thread, as well as people struggling to map their OOP patterns over. If they hear "Rust is OOP", they expect to be able to do OOP-like things, and when they can't, that's a big frustration. Enough so that we had to add that book chapter.

It's not imposed.

Look, a scalper wouldn't command the prices they did if the demand wasn't there.

In reality, whether we like it or not, the scalper is actually facilitating price discovery. It's very clear that these tickets are worth more to people than their face value, as otherwise the scalpers would be unsuccessful.

All the scalper is doing is raising the price to what the market will bear.

Which is why this isn't about economics. It really is strictly about fairness, which is entirely orthogonal.

Postmates support used to be great - call a number from within the app, talk to a real person, get your issue resolved while on the phone. Now their support is almost nonexistent.

I've also noticed their emails trying to get me to refer friends have increased to almost daily. Which is obnoxious. And they aren't even good deals - get 5 friends to order within a week for $15 delivery credit? It used to be I get $10 credit, my friend got $10 credit.

I pretty much only use them when they offer free food - combined with my insane amount of delivery credit, and I pretty much just pay to tip the driver.

A year ago they delivered food right to my hospital room. I'm about to head back in for an extended stay, so I'm hoping they still do that.

2015 Postmates was great. 2017 Postmates is almost useless.
Not sure what you're saying here...are you equating blocking and tackling?

In American football you also may only tackle the ball carrier. You can initiate contact other guys (usually in the form of blocking), and that can be very violent at times...but I don't think there's a scenario where you can tackle someone without the ball (and it not be called for a penalty).
Iirc they are also calmed by moving, so it's not quite as scary as it sounds.
Most kids in elementary/middle/high school (at least where I grew up) play non-contact hockey. You're not allowed to fight or bodycheck, but incidental contact is fine. Only the super high (competitive) levels had hitting.

Non-contact hockey players are three times less likely to be severely injured and three times less likely to be concussed while playing.[1] That's the direction hockey should be going, IMO. Contact is fun and all but I know too many people who are seriously messed up from concussions--I'm glad my parents put me in a non-contact league.

Oh, I see. For saving the form state, localStorage would work better than cookies for saving and restoring because then the information is only kept on the client. That still doesn't solve the multiple window problem, but that's likely less of an issue for a filling out a form than for navigation.

Cookies can certainly be set to never expire, but you don't know which window the cookie was intended for because the cookies are shared.

No, mathematics works completely different than science. In both math and science, you do some observations, and then formulate theory that explain some of these observations. However, in science, you then design experiments and predict the results based on your theory, taking care to ensure that the experiments distinguish between the reality in which your theory holds, and the one where it doesn't.

In math you might also do that as a sanity check, but that's not the point. In math, the point is to actually _prove_ your theory to be correct, something which is absolutely impossible to do in science, where you can only prove theory to be _wrong_.

Virtually every example of a "big hit" in that video ends with the person who got hit showing the fencing response (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fencing_response). That body pose indicates a pretty severe concussion.

In fact, the most popular video on YouTube about the fencing response has a shocking amount of overlap with the "big hits" video you shared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlXjwAlOflA

Frankly, your video was kind of hard to watch. It's basically 3 minutes of people getting their brains rattled in their skulls.
"OOP" has suffered since the 90s of being a somewhat vague term in practice (much to the chagrin of Smalltalkers), but making it even more overbroad just to make it apply to Rust will only drive the term further into uselessness. It's not about being "hip", it's about using terminology that's usefully precise. (For the record, I also think "functional programming" is a uselessly broad category these days, having become a victim of its own success.)

It's uncontroversial to state that Rust has methods, which are usually associated with OOP. It's also uncontroversial to state that Rust is utterly incapable of defining inheritance hierarchies, which are also usually associated with OOP. If we're going to argue about it, we might as well try to agree on terms that will let us say things that are meaningful.
Awesome, this is science and math working as it should be, kudos to Blum!

I love watching football and each year I look forward to the start of football season. It's amazing game to watch and when played by great players, exceedingly entertaining and exciting.

I'm not blind to the research about what it does to the players brains but my reaction is the reverse of what I'm reading from most in this thread: I'm watching more football than ever.

I think it's only a matter of time till the game is either neutered to nothingness or banned entirely and I selfishly want to enjoy every last minute that I can. There's a sibling comment referring to as "America's gladiator sport". I think that's particularly apt. Deep down we feel dirty watching it but we also don't want to turn it off.
