> Why would you ever order from walmart.com if they don’t offer those competitive prices?

I've bought from Walmart online only once or twice ever: in one case they had the camera I wanted for $250 cheaper than Amazon and in another Amazon didn't have the product at all.
I'm very boring with my FF extensions;

- uBlock

- Bitwarden

- Reddit Enhancement Suite

I used to go totally over top and at one point had about 30-40 extensions, and Firefox looked a bit more like the Kerbal Space Program. Not sure what compelled me to do that, but I probably only used 2 or 3 them in practice.

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you and yet it's a great opportunity to highlight the benefits of self-deleting messages. Specifically it's elevates the cost of an attacker being able to comb through a vast ream of documents to weaponize your seemingly 'private' communications. Though self-deleting messages (such as on Signal) can't prevent the recipient from logging all communications as the come over the wire, it does prevent an attacker from weaponizing them retrospectively.
I came across a bug in the JDK/JRE 1.0.1 relating to GridBagLayouts. Sometimes they would just ignore the directives the programmer specified and lay things out any damn place they liked. I only reported it after checking and rechecking and rechecking that I had use the GridBagLayout API exactly according to the documentation.

It was fixed in Java 1.0.3.

I've used a lot of C/C++ compilers over the years, and the two compilers marked in my memory as having enough bugs to be noticeable and disturbing were Visual C++ 4.1 (so notably bad that MS essentially apologized for its screwup and conceded that 4.2 was largely about fixing 4.1's problems) and CodeWarrior for Mac (pretty much any version, I think...I never tried the Windows version, but the thought of it makes me shiver).

CW had a pretty nice environment to develop in compared to its contemporary competitors, but it just didn't have a solid compiler.
Okay. That's not illegal and there's no evidence of bribery. My congressman also fought for net neutrality and I also gave him money. In fact, I gave him money because I wanted him to fight for net neutrality for me.

Don't ignore but don't get petty either, post political society awaits us
In the US, most aren't, but some are. When they are tied to inflation it's usually the CPI.

In some cases not tying it to the CPI appears to be lack of foresight, in other cases it's a compromise, just like e.g. tax cuts that expire.

The party that wishes to not raise the threshold is hoping that they will have more political clout down the road, the party that does have power can conserve political capital and get a "win" in the eyes of their constituency.

They had electronic tollbooths (fasToll or EZPass or whatever) when I last drove through there around 2003. Definitely not cash only.

Interestingly enough you cannot pay cash or credit on some toll roads in southern California now. If you don't have one of those transponders, then you pay online, and they enforce with license plate scanners.

18 months ago, I almost lost my wife because of a project I joined at the beginning of 2015 to which I dedicated all my time, hoping it starts rising quick (when I joined they were working on it for already 2 years, and it was "a matter of months, one year top, to finish").

Turns out it didn't, and when my wife pronounced the word "divorce", I dropped it all (the tension was anyway rising between me and the team for some months) to save my marriage.

I was lucky enough that it ended well on my personal life. And that's the last time I make this mistake. Wealth is cool, loved ones are what matters (at least for me).

On a side note, they're still struggling to finish their app.
It's very tiresome how these threads seem to pop up on this site that basically boil down to how "Nuclear is the savior of all" and people are too scared/stupid to see it. The problem is that "people" aren't making these decisions, utility companies are. And they have good economic reasons on top of the complicated politics.

For safety reasons, nuclear plants are very complex, take a long time to build and require a ton of capital. The physics make these work out long term, but only if you're willing to build a large enough facility that you can take the place of 2-3 comparable coal facilities.

Part of this is because they produce power more efficiently, but also because the largest startup costs for these are from finding a site and going through all the safety and other regulatory requirements. Once you have approval for single reactor, you're better off adding a few more at the same site than trying to find another site for a new reactor.

The bottom line is the utility company is on the hook for a huge investment for 30 years or more before it breaks even. That's what stalled the development in the 70s and 80s and it's even more unlikely to get started today, what with the extreme uncertainty surrounding fossil fuel sources, the rapidly decreasing cost of renewables, etc.

The most common response to this fact is that we can replace huge facilities these with lots of much smaller/safer Thorium or other alternative fuels. From a physics standpoint, this may be true, but utility companies don't want to have to manage the fuel chain for (potentially) dozens of facilities, governments don't like having to guard that many small sites, and there are a limited number of communities that are comfortable living near a reactor of any kind, even a "tiny" one. I don't know if this is smart or not, but it's not going to change anytime soon. The bottom line is that unless we have a huge leap in the amount of technology required to manage a nuclear reactor, or in the potential safety factor around the fuel and other risks, nuclear is not going to ever become a majority power source in most countries.
There is no "post-political society". Society is defined by politics; "politics" appear as soon as three people are in a room together. "Politics" is an active, controlling, and inescapable force that permeates every connection between those people, between you and me, and between everybody else around. There is no "post-political" society unless everybody's dead.

And, to make it really-real clear, it's not "petty" to refuse to associate with people who want to make life significantly worse for you and yours. It's defense.

Here's a quote from from James Fadiman, the person who came up with the whole idea of microdosing in the first place: (at https://sites.google.com/view/microdosingpsychedelics/faq-on...)

> A dose that feels as if you are right at the edge of a psychedelic experience is too high.

As far as I can tell, there is one school of microdosing, and you're not in it. I wish you were right, because the whole idea of "sub-perceptual" doses is obviously bullshit, but I'm not seeing it.
> A negative number of changes is nonsensical

Of course. As I said, I know this is defending as case that shouldn't happen.

> the programmer doesn’t need to defend against it

My point is that this is a dangerous attitude that can create bugs. A less-than comparison should cost the same as testing for quality, so only testing for 0 isn't faster.

Why are negative values nonsensical? Is is because the variable is named changes? The algorithm in the preceding code? Comments in the code near that variable? All of these things can change as code evolves. Variables are repurposed, algorithms change (sometimes radically), and updates to code can desynchronize from comments.

Qui tacet consentire videtur. You're up on your Latin, I assume.

This stuff was, after all, figured out thousands of years ago. Shame we keep thinking it's all so novel, but, yanno.

Anyway, for those less up on these things: it's been settled in political spheres for millenia that silence, when you can speak and choose not to, is assent--is support of the status quo. And the status quo is profoundly fucked for a whole lot of people, notably a whole lot of people I care about. Ennobling that silence, and that support, because of fear of mustachio-twirling nonexistent entities? Sorry, my dude, but I know where your car is parked.

One of the lead Firefox extension API devs is also the primary Pentadactyl (and former Vimperator) dev. I'm sure they were aware of exactly what was needed for that and similar extensions. They also made it clear from their earliest announcements that they intended supporting these extensions.

It simply isn't a priority which may be fair enough.

Pentadactyl still works well on ESR.

I find this idea genuinely intriguing. If such an idea were to work, it would need a clear-cut definition dividing the two types of information about a person (since we're talking in a legal context here, and you'd need to be able to defend yourself if Bob argues you shouldn't have a given piece of information that you have).

What if I lent you money and you never repaid me -- could you legally prevent me from telling anyone about it, by virtue of it being private information about you? If you think that's unreasonable, isn't that more or less the basis of your credit score?

I dislike Twine, and I unfortunately do not have enough to fill my days to be able to avoid reading a fair amount of Twine code. It's mostly terrible, even by hobbyist standards. It does however present an incredibly low barrier to entry, and that most of all is what I think this project misses. Telling stories in text should not require an IDE, and whatever form of programming is exemplified by that XML is one that I'll avoid at all costs. The other language choices are also dubious. I do not like feeling compelled to say nice things about Twine, but it's hard to find any comparative advantages in Ink.

> No, not being political in the workplace means someone values their stable income more than they value the need to talk about their opinions.

Support of the status quo is a political choice. There is no neutral.

Also, the option to "stay out of politics" is something not afforded to everybody. As a financially comfortable white guy with in-demand skills, I can do it. But if you are on the sharp end of any of America's ingrained biases, you may not be able to.

See, for example, all the women now able to come forward about workplace harassment. Their speaking out, their striving for workplaces where they are free of abuse: those are inevitably political actions. So too is ignoring or resisting that movement.
> Sorry, my dude, but I know where your car is parked.

You don't know anything about me. I think I'm actually a pretty alright guy, and I treat everyone with as much respect as they treat me.

If you are online for, say, 4 hours per day, that adds up to 120$/month, which is close to the actual price of the internet connection. So we're already paying $1/hour at the ISP, it would be a big deal to double the costs, and that is just for news. Add music, games and other staff that tends to cost money and it can become expensive. That would have the effect of making internet less used, not more.
> While it probably does, depending on implementation details use more memory

Have you actually looked at the insertion sort algorithm? It doesn't allocate any additional memory. Neither does bubble sort or selection sort.

Knuth does some analysis of Bubble Sort in Volume 3 of the Art of Computer Programming, which proves bubble sort performs more comparisons and more swap operations than insertion sort. To quote the conclusion: "[A]lthough the techniques used in the calculations [to analyze the bubble sort] are instructive, the results are disappointing since they tell us that the bubble sort isn't really very good at all. Compared to straight insertion […], bubble sorting requires a more complicated program and takes about twice as long!"
You do understand that itself is a political position, right? The notion that people must entirely erase themselves to conform to the preferences of whoever is paying them is a very particular viewpoint, one that demands very specific power relationships. And it's only even hazily tenable to the extent that one's interests align with the status quo.

At one point like 10 years ago, I left ebay because it felt like more than 60% of everything was fraud. I think they've curtailed that a bit, but that is what Twitter feels like to me now. Like 80% of the traffic has to be fraud because they killed all the real users. They have to make money off the fraud and be sort of complicit just like Paypal and eBay used to be (to a larger degree than they are now).

No one ever held Paypal and eBay responsible for what they did because it was so esoteric. It seems that there is a government investigation that is going to lead to a nice graph of botnets used for social manipulation which is cool, but I doubt we'll ever get a proper accounting of the really inventive fraud that dominates what twitter is.

The new implementation is still wrong, according to the specification.

Array.prototype.sort does not sort an array of numbers as expected. In JavaScript, [2, 10].sort() results in the array [10, 2].

As MDN points out, "The default sort order is according to string Unicode code points... If [compareFn is] omitted, the array is sorted according to each character's Unicode code point value, according to the string conversion of each element." [0] It has an example showing off the unintuitive behavior right at the top of the page.

This behavior is intended per the original ECMAScript specification[1, pg. 68]:

When the SortCompare operator is called with two arguments
x and y, the following steps are taken:
1. If x and y are both undefined, return +0.
2. If x is undefined, return 1.
3. If y is undefined, return −1.
4. If the argument comparefn was not provided in the call
to sort, go to step 7.
5. Call comparefn with arguments x and y.
6. Return Result(5).
7. Call ToString(x).
8. Call ToString(y).
9. If Result(7) < Result(8), return −1.
10. If Result(7) > Result(8), return 1.
11. Return +0.

The key points are items 4, 7 and 8.
