I'm using (x)ubuntu for over 10 years and every version there are strange problems that still exist today.

For example now my volume control uses 5 steps at once instead of one.
So every version I have to search the net for some command line command to fix things.

I wont leave Linux anytime soon but I can imagine people get sick of this.

Ubuntu is great, but maybe the priority should be flawless instead of yet another window manager/desktop environment.

Seems to me that A has two major concepts (function calls and partial application) whereas A only has one (function calls).
This is the sort of thing that happens when there are not enough doctors to go around so rich people use their fortune to hog up a disproportionate amount of qualified medical personnel and resources. With the resources that are used to keep VIP hospitals running, they could probably have dozens of regular hospitals.

It's similar to what happens when there aren't enough houses in an affordable nice place so rich people use their fortunes to outbid everyone else and the nice affordable place becomes expensive and gentrified. With the money and labor spent on huge mansions (or hyper-luxurious tiny houses, because land is inelastic), they could have built hundreds of regular houses or apartments.

I think they're saying that they're being taxed as if they were getting 4% interest on their savings, when in reality they're getting less than 1% because rates are low. So even though it's nominally a tax on interest earned, it's effectively a tax on value of assets held in savings over 21k.

Absolutely! One reason we wanted to get this out in public before it's ready is so we can properly engage with the spec writers (and the V8 team).

That said, I am amazed by how well the spec fits as-is. I don't usually like other people's API designs but in this case I think they did a really good job, and I've been pleased not to have to think about API design myself.
Similarly, Gmail screws up its UX (as usual). If you ever make the mistake of clicking "Always display images from <...>", there is no turning back for that sender, as far as I can see at least. No "block images from this sender" button, no list in settings of all approved email senders that you can change your mind about, nothing.

The only option at that point is using the PixelBlock extension:

To every US Citizen who replies “what's the big deal?” keep in mind most countries maintain a sort of reciprocity, whatever the US government does to their citizens to enter, they may, out of pique or their own laws, do to Americans entering their country.

Given the execrable ability of the US government to keep even its own top-secret confidential information secure, I have absolutely no faith that this information will be securely maintained, nor that it will be solely used to profile visitors solely at the “border”.

The Equifax Hack Has the Hallmarks of... complete incompetence that may, on this occasion, have been exploited by a state-sponsored actor.

Who knows what other actors could have exploited it instead or as well?

In any case the incompetence was the root cause and I wouldn't trust Equifax to speak my weight.
Granted. However, in the US I saw multiple times people getting at each other throats in arguing what a founding father really meant with this or this other sentence. So in an argument with a less charitable person, you might find yourself in facing somebody telling you that Franklin meant the exact opposite. That's why arguments from authority are usually bad. In any case, this is getting off-topic pretty quickly, so I'll end it here :-)

Apart from CNN throwing the phrase "ties with Russia" like the period at the end of the sentences for things as little as an interview being aired on Russian TV (true story from CNN [1]), do we have reasons to think the "Russians hacked the election"? Are you telling me our systems aren't resilient to attacks from other nation-states? If so... what's the NSA doing?

Are you suggesting Jesus never saw himself as YHWH?

According to Jesus, "What would Jesus do?" and "What would YHWH do?" are one and the same, see John 14:

"Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”"

"Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?"

> everything we now know about Russia's attempts to influence our elections and sew division

Be careful what you believe. To date there has not been hard evidence that the Russian government was involved in any of the mischief that has been discovered.

It could just as easily have been an activist group within Russia or even (sadly) the US intelligence agencies looking to fan the flames of war with Russia.

There has been consistent conflict between the US and Russia all along since the cold war ended. And certainly lots of mischief on both sides. The danger in this case is allowing US propagandists to frame the recent mischief as cyber warfare, which it is not.

Considering the way that information about the alleged hacks have been strategically leaked and timed to convince the American people to resent Russia, it's pretty clear what the objective is.

Wars don't just happen, they are the result of significant propaganda effort. We are seeing the beginnings of it with the outrage over "meddling". It's only going to get worse. Expect to read additional revelations about Putin's character and Russian society/culture. The goal is to gradually foment mistrust and hate to the point where Americans actually consent to a war which may kill many Russians and many Americans.

It is indeed an energy issue, but for the orbital change, not system operations. Every kilogram you have to spend on fuel is a kilogram you can't use for cargo instead. You can use porkchop plots[1] to determine ideal launch windows (least ∆v = least fuel needed). Late summer of 2022, for example, is a good window[2].

For manned missions, you're more interested in the least '∆t' (time spent traveling) since crew sanity/health is more important than fuel. (Yes, astronauts are exceptional and willing to endure a lot of discomfort, but the less time they have to spend in a small tin can, the better.)

I understand that R7RS got rid of syntax-case and standard Scheme is back to syntax-rules only (which is another thing I like about Common Lisp: the standard has been in existence for 23 years).

I'm reminded of this article (https://fare.livejournal.com/189741.html), where this Common Lisp macro:

(defmacro nest (&rest r) (reduce (lambda (o i) `(,@o ,i)) r :from-end t))

Has to turn into this in Racket (which isn't quite Scheme):

(define-syntax (nest stx)
(syntax-case stx ()
((nest outer ... inner)
(foldr (lambda (o i)
(with-syntax (((outer ...) o)
(inner i))
#'(outer ... inner)))
#'inner (syntax->list #'(outer ...))))))

And was incredibly difficult to reason about. And that author likes Racket.
You'll notice the post you are replying to didn't use the word "hack", it said "attempts to influence our elections and sew division", which is something Facebook ads would do quite well.

I agree that hysteria over "election hacking" is tedious, but so is blanket dismissal that a foreign state actor would have an interest in influencing a US election. Of course they would.
More often than not simple incompetence is a far more reasonable explanation than complex schemes.

I think the infinite access to loans is destroying any connection between market pricing and desirability. People at the age of 17 or 18 when they're going into college tend to have minimal to no knowledge of the workforce, and tend to be completely unrealistic about their own probable outcomes. More than 50% [1] of Americans under the age of 30 expect to become what they consider "rich." That was from 2003, but it was repeated in 2010 and yielded near identical results. [2] What does an extra $20k/year in debt matter if you're going to be a millionaire in a decade anyhow? When people's views of the value of something is completely out of touch with reality, they are rarely going to be incentivized to make logical decisions.

This feature also makes the entire for profit education industry quite predatory. I realize public institutions are ostensibly not for profit. At the same time, when you have higher executives taking salaries in the millions of dollars, and layer upon layer of redundant administrators with comparably bloated salaries, that they then regularly adjust upwards as "their revenue" increases, that belies the intuition of 'not for profit.' So forgive my colloquial nature.

Why is the news spouting this BS? I assume a state-sponsored attack makes for more readers. Sigh.
Agreed. I thought I was going to read about message passing styles a la Objective C.
Yeah. I'm not convinced either. I do little things for various small non-profits/volunteer organizations and I've basically never had anyone bug me because it took me a bit longer to get to something than I anticipated. If I'm paying someone market rates to do a task, you can be sure that I'll be doing the "when will it be done?" thing if they get behind schedule.
I wonder when we’ll admit wholesale that interest rate and money supply just aren’t very good economic levers in the absence of fiscal policy?

Re tax cuts, instead of tax cuts on the middle class, make wage increases tax deductible for corporations. As someone in the middle class, I don’t care what my rate is, I care what the take home is. Reward corporations for passing more money through to employees by lowering the taxes on their earnings.

I don't know but in my world, a preference is not a requirement. I prefer to watch a movie in the cinema with uber sound systems etc. But i can watch the movie perfectly fine at home.

All points besides a, which is not really an argument but the point of discussion, can be done remotely, if you have to travel to a conference. It might not have your preference, but it certainly is possible and i think comparing travelling half the world, to hear somebody speak vs starting a livestream or recorded version of a conference at your convenience at home, i know what i prefer. Sure its not as interesting on birthday parties or similar, to say you watched a conference livestream vs i was in Tokyo over the weekend for a conference.

Have seen any scientific IQ test other than fakes ones on internet?

The portions are well discrete. IQ test has nothing to do with linguistics ability (at least we don’t know it) and most of IQ test don’t require you to read or write anything.
A is objectively more complex:

B gives you all the information you need to know what's going on.

A requires you to go dig up what "partial" is doing (which, it turns out is itself doing some wacky gymnastics to turn one of its arguments into a function and the other into a parameter (and the parameter of whatever gets passed into the returned function as the other parameter of the function that was originally passed in).

Observe how much writing it took just to describe what's going on with your "A". No explanation at all is required for B. It's complete as written. Simple, and intuitive all in one.
I made that as a roughneck straight out of high school. It's not that unusual.
Everyone fawns about it and it sounds like an awesome novel, but I've tried reading it three times and every time I can't get past the fact that the hero (the protagonist, if you will) is literally named Hiro Protagonist. I know it's supposed to be funny, but after my eyes see those words five or six times, I can't do it anymore. Maybe Neal was the first, maybe he does it best, but I've read too much shitty sci-fi where heavy-handed slaps to the face like that are far too common, and it really ruins any plot the book gets going for me. I have a hard time reading the book when I'm imagining the author's shit-eating grin as he wrote it.

I'm sure it's an awesome book, but I really need a copy where someone did a find-and-replace and changed the hero's name to something other than Hiro.
Getting a basic messaging bus up and running is easy enough if you’re using Spring Boot for example.

Modelling distributed asynchronous processes can cause headaches though.

Messaging helps with decoupling and scaling components but messaging systems can be difficult to test and debug.

If it were saying simply "be careful" it would be more apt. Franklin's simplistic condemnation allows for no middle ground, no exceptions, no room for complex policy to deal with a complex world.

It's also old-fashioned. It reminds me of something Trump would say.

In a modern democracy everyone deserves safety and security, even people who believe the government ought to be granted additional power to constrain "essential liberty" in certain situations or within certain more expansive limits. They may eventually be proven unwise or evil policy choices, but the people advocating them still deserve safety and security -- precisely because they live in a democracy.
The idea of electronic money is old. What this describes is a Chaum blind-signature style centrally-cleared coin, which dates back to his 1983 paper. There is no protection against double-spends in this scheme (without the clearing agency taking an active role), and no protection against the central agency creating unlimited amounts of coin.

Proof-of-work schemes like hashcash and bitgold are much closer to hitting on the central ideas that led to Bitcoin. It's like crediting Democritus with atomic theory -- yes, he's talking about the same thing, but in such a way that the final realization is so different as to be unrecognizable.
Doesn't change my assertion, though. If we want to hold up Emacs as being more embedable and playing more nicely with other programs, that same bar can be set for the other programs.

And this is largely up to each person. I personally loathe the IDEA GUI. And most any GUI. I will grant that they do better screenshots, but I will take what is effectively a super powerful terminal buffer any day.
I like how you think comrade!
Just taking the first examples from the Haskell wiki:

sum = foldr (+) 0
foldr (f . g) e

rather than

sum' xs = foldr (+) 0 xs
foldr f' e
where f' a b = f (g a) b

The idea is that you define loads of tiny functions at higher order, like the sum example, and these are very simple and easy to maintain because every function is a one-liner. I don't know how to respond to the complaint that the example is just syntactic, because it's fundamentally a syntactic construct (at least unless we get to the point of e.g. summing a list of functions to get their composition): the pointfree style is completely equivalent to the pointed style, it's just argued to be a less noisy syntax, that therefore increases readability and maintainability.
The EU data retention directive was invalidated last year as overreaching. Several countries still have national laws on their books that require data retention but those won't stand up when challenged.
Exchange (Office 365) has a major compliance issue with SMTP submission
Mails sent using SMTP submission in Office 365 are not logged anywhere: retention, in-place hold, or litigation hold. There is no way to know anything about these emails, you can only trace them in Exchange (within 90 days window) - you only know they were sent. But content compliance? Nope.

Also, there is no way to stop SMTP submission (in cases you do not need it).

Spent two months with Office 365 support, but they are not helpful at all.

1) Does anyone knows how to hold/retent SMTP submitted messages?

2) In cases customer has no need for SMTP submission, does anyone knows how to block SMTP submission?

Point-free isn't going to be worth it in a language where composition and application of functions isn't syntactically and computationally as cheap as possible. It also only works perfectly well for unary functions and situationally for binary functions. Anything more and the contortions start being more unreadable than variables.

In Haskell partial application is literally free and composition is an operator. That's why point-free works well there. No point in importing syntactic ideas that don't make sense in the new context.

Edit: I should also point out there's a subtle corner-case if you mix these transformations with uses of `seq`.
I don't know why you are being downvoted because I think you're right. They filed a proposal to modify some database.

In our household, my spouse overfills the pantry regardless of my preference. I don't get worked up over it, or keep score. It's just something that happens, and isn't important enough to turn into a point of contention. Each issue exists independently, so it would be unfair argumentation to drag that one into a separate issue to try to score points and "win" instead of addressing the issue itself. So we have a pantry that is difficult to walk through without turning sideways.

I don't worry about it. It's a first world problem. My spouse knows I don't like it, and that's all that needs to be done from my end.
