"Meanwhile, market research firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners told The Wall Street Journal that the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus only accounted for 16 percent of iPhone sales in the September quarter, compared to 43 percent for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus last year. The iPhone 8 models constituted 2.4 percent of iPhones in use one month after shipments began—predecessors managed more than twice that share in the same time period. A survey of carrier stores showed the cheaper iPhone 7 outselling the iPhone 8 in the US and UK, though customers who shop at carrier stores may generally have different preferences than those who buy their phones directly from Apple or from other types of retailers."

What happens when there is no place left for the deplorable? The 'net was meant to work around censorship. Look at what it has become.

Reddit is just another brick in the wall. They can do this. Indeed, perhaps they should. But should we cheer it on? What happens when there are no reasonable means left for the deplorable to speak? What happens when censorship isn't fraught, when empathy is eschewed, when due process is forgotten?

Those are not Reddit's responsibilities. They are our responsibilities, as a society. It is very much a human rights issue, but not Reddit's sole responsibility. Right now, registrars refuse to even host domain names.

I'm not saying these are good people. Quite the opposite, really. Cheer the censorship on, it is your right. I'll stand up for your rights too.

Because snow conditions are inherently more dangerous and more likely to yield data for the cases we really care about, i.e. accidents and near accidents. Getting commute data in California is likely to just give you a ton of boring repeat data going to and from googleplex and a few locations.

I challenge that assertion. Some of the most impressive analysis of C is specifically on some stuff that is dynamic in nature. (In particular, showing just that you didn't check for null is easy. Showing how the null could get there takes effort.)

Playing devil's advocate: Is there actually a difference between genocide and survival of the fittest? If the Etruscan people were a superior culture with a superior fighting force, they would have defended themselves from the Romans and they'd still be around. Likewise if the panda was better adaptable, we wouldn't be struggling to save the species.

If the saber-toothed tiger died out because they were out-competed by the other species around them, we call that natural selection. If the Carthaginians died out because their neighbors had a better fighting force, we call that genocide. But the only difference is... what, exactly?

And yet, Smalltalk got it wrong by making all the parameter names mandatory, which leads to sources that are much more verbose than they need to be.

The correct approach to this is to make parameter names optional, so they're only used when disambiguation is necessary to clarify the intent of the code.

> How easy is camlp4/5 metaprogramming to read and write compared to Lisp macros?

Having implemented a non-trivial 'macro' in camlp4 and likewise in Scheme, I can confidently say: It's about the same level of difficult/pain. Which is to say that it's much too painful/annoying.

Though, I should say that Racket by all accounts from the literature has improved things massively, even going to so far as to implement "macro-based" type systems (search for "turnstile racket").

> makeRange(from: 0, to:10) [..] Swift’s guidelines on naming methods.

The syntax you show is Swift, which is a weird mash-up of C/C++ style function call/method call syntax with keywords jammed into them. To me, actual Smalltalk syntax is just so much cleaner:

0 to: 10.

It manages the "reads like english" trick without trying to be english-like or natural-language-like. (See Applescript for the disaster that results from that: "Many of the current problems in AppleScript can be traced to the use of syntax based on natural language" http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~wcook/Drafts/2006/ashopl.pdf).

I mean, Google has prototypes with no steering wheels, and has as an explicit goal the ability to transport children, blind people, the elderly, etc. Eventually they absolutely do want to force drivers to use autonomous mode (at least "force" in the sense that users will need to opt in when they choose a vehicle or service, rather than minute by minute during a trip).

Everyone is doing their best to wriggle their way away from this question, but I'm going to force you to address it:

What happens when everyone automatically receives all content, and the content cannot be deleted? Now assume the service is something everyone uses. Imagine it's a decentralized internet, and banning it will cause your country to fall behind. What do you do then?

This isn't quite a baseless hypothetical. It's one logical outcome of decentralization. And sooner or later, we're going to need to answer these hard questions.

> So what do you propose?

I'd do what we do with every advancement that challenges are existing paradigms: study it, debate it, and seek out creative and equitable ways to deter the negative externalities. That may involve banning, restricting or regulating services.

> What do you do when the information cannot be removed, and the service is critical infrastructure? What happens when the content is in a decentralized internet that everyone uses, and that everyone receives automatically?

Even in this scenario, there is still going to be a common denominator that can be regulated to control illegal content (ISPs for example).
The promise of visual designers has existed for the past 30 years and it has always blown up spectacularly because everything that can be made to conform to canned design principles is already there, and everything else actually requires non-trivial knowledge that is not easily automated.

Design guidelines change too, and accommodating existing software to new designs is not automatable either.

And for data science? Simple correlations are trivial, but doing useful data science requires domain understanding of the business and products and factors such as seasonality, markets and so on.

Every single one of your examples is an S-Expression where the first element of the list is an operator/function followed by N arguments, from an abstract context-less view, anyway.

For the last week I've been making a conscious effort to only eat foods with no sugar.

It turns out, this is way easier said than done. It seems like this limits your diet only to vegetables and meats (or meat substitutes).

Things I would've never expected with sugar nutritional facts. Things like whole wheat loaf bread, plain unflavored yogurt, and cottage cheese. One would think they would have sugar-free options if you look hard enough, I can't seem to find any.
Just because someone is still using it doesn't mean it's not old. It's three versions behind current, so that seems to fit the definition.
Most owners are not impacted by "crash prices and keep them low" because they have experienced enormous capital growth. Auckland prices have doubled in the last four years; a 50% crash would leave almost everyone in the property market before then no worse off.

Speculators can move their investments, but they have to accept the loss in order to do that.

An increase in wages without fixing the underlying drivers for property price growth will not support owner occupiers or first time buyers at all, because property price growth will match or exceed that growth.

Crash prices, keep them low and stable after, it will be rough and unpopular for a while but will eventually be the best outcome.

> On the Catalan side, the Nationalist movement is used by dubious politicians which belong to the richer statements of Catalan society to grab power and "make history".

If by "used" you meant that the rich parties jumped on the independence train while it was running, then I have no objection. On the other hand if you mean they fabricated the independence movement just for their own glory and profit, IMHO you are misunderstanding the movement. The separatist movement has existed for an arguably long time, and I'd say the demographics have leaned to the worker-class, lefty ideology (ERC and CUP).

>The love of the flag and the dishonest approach to history and current socio-economics of the region are strategies followed by every other wannabe-patriot in the world.

How has the approach to history been dishonest? And what would have been the honest/objective approach to it? I'm frankly curious, you seem to be quite certain about this.

In my experience, many Catalan pro-independence supporters are hardly nationalist or patriotic. Probably due to the fact that they have close family ties to other parts of the Peninsula(eg. Andalucía, Galiza...). However they are all strongly souverainists, which I think is the key point of the Catalan pro-independence movement. A proof of this is that, had the Catalan parliament true power to make laws on most aspects of society, the independence movement would have a really small % support.

> Whoever the winner of this fight is, it will be a sad day for Europe, because nationalism and national borders will have prevailed and this goes against everything we need to build a stronger and better EU.

I believe this is a challenge for EU, and challenges are good to build resilience. Think of it as a "Chaos Monkey" approach to the Union. IMHO the EU is not reacting accordingly to the challenge, it's not even facing it tbh. This, as a European, it's disappointing to witness.
Also, why is it sad for Europe that a region self-determines as a sovereign state within Europe? Why are re-arrangements within Europe sad? And alternatively, why is an arguably unstable territory(Spain, politically) better as "one", than as "two"(or three or four) nation states within Europe? If we're all sharing the same EU umbrella...

Bigger states inside EU do not imply stronger and better EU. I'd actually argue that bigger too-powerful states(see Germany, France) can have an uncomfortable power over other smaller states.

EU is still re-defining itself. I recommend you to read some Ulrike Guérot's work[1]. Europeans should be open to rethinking/re-designing.

EU it's starting to look like an elite bureaucrats club where only "richer statements of _EU_ society grab power and 'make history'" ;).

This whole thread sounds like hurt feelings.
It's not a solution over any time period, because without fixing the drivers of the price growth in the property market any increase in purchasing power will be met with property price growth to absorb it.
1. The question of can is entirely separate from the question of should. Sometimes someone should, or even absolutely must, do something even if they currently can't, and the inability to do it does not make the demand that they do unjustified.

2. While I don't think that Twitter can "solve" the problem (neither do justice systems "solve" crime), I don't believe that there is absolutely nothing they can do to effectively fight it and reduce it.
Brittle tests seem not useful in general though aren't they?

I'm not sure its necessarily true that brittleness must correlate with height in pyramid or execution time -- in my experience brittleness correlates with selenium more than it does pyramid height (that's a statement about selenium more than it is a statement about any particular category of testing pyramid).

There is the cube-helix approach, but I suspect you're thinking about something else.

The linked talk about the creation of the viridis colour map[0] actually spends a good ten minutes on explaining colour theory, and makes it look very simple in the process.

About ten minutes in it shows the "perceptual colour space" of a typical non-colourblind person. A few minutes later it shows the color spaces for people with various types of colourblindness.

Perhaps one could project one perceptual space into the other in a way that more-or-less preserves the original information, but essentially with more banding?

What would be the fix? I'm asking sincerely as someone who is only surface level familiar with HPKP, and have never implemented it (but my boss did...)

If someone ransomed you, would you need to pay them for the key, and then use the key on your site from then on? So, you could pay the ransom and they'd be able to decrypt all of your traffic from then on?

(I'm sure I just don't know how HPKP works, like there's some solution where the ransomer's key/the compromised key can be used to sign another key, and then HPKP pinners that cached the bogus key can now accept it as the new key... but then couldn't you use a compromised key to do the same attack again in the future?)

To be fair, that is a restatement of the problem into a much more difficult one. Instead of looking for the best candidate among N, you are looking to maximize net-present-value of the work product produced by a candidate selected from a pool of N presented over time.

So you need not just a discrete better/worse comparison of candidates, but some linear measure of each candidate's productivity, some value for the work product, and an interest rate.
