Seems to me like it's the brand, because she'll find something similar on Amazon then talk herself into going to the brand's store for various reasons instead of buying the basically identical knock off.

My favorite reason is "I think the brand name holds up better," ... for the 5 times you'll wear it? But it makes her feel like we're doing well in the rat race, so works for me.
I don't know whether I am in a majority or a minority. But I hate it when I go to a shop, am walking around and just browsing, and random store employees come to me for a chat, ask me questions etc.

I don't want to be approached and forced to have a conversation until I decide I want to proceed and buy something or try something on. Just let me browse without bugging me. I am more likely to find something I like and give you money that way.

It doesn't work as a replacement for transactions generally, though.

I don't think JSON schema is bad at all, for what it is.

Remember that the more modern binary protocols like protobuf/etc. don't serve the same niche as JSON schema at all: JSON schema validates external documents; i.e. you take a schema and make sure a document complies with it. Protobuf/flatbuffers/etc. validate internal documents, as they are encoded or decoded. If that's all you need, then the schema definitions for those products will be much friendlier than JSON-schema, but that's comparing non-equivalent things.

Another, minor quibble is that a lot of the schema-validation code in e.g. protobuf or Thrift is often generated by the framework, and the generated code can be quite hairy or confusing. There exist code generators for JSON schema as well, but writing a JSON schema by hand isn't comparable to, say, generating code from the Thrift IDL.

> The greatest pain was the networking.

Last time I checked, systemd - the init system - wasn't involved with networking at all.

There's systemd-networkd, but that's an optional component and no major distro is actually using it as a default. RHEL 7 - which runs systemd - supports both NetworkManager and their legacy networking scripts.

You said there were "myriad of shortcomings" and "egregious settings", some examples would help.

Does CBOR support lazy/partial deserialization? It's not a make-or-break feature, but the ability to pluck out individual fields from large MessagePack documents without deserializing the whole thing has been a significant performance/memory savings for me many times.

I haven't played with flatbuffers, but it probably supports this as well, given its design. Are there other binary protocols that have first-class (i.e. present with a good API in the client libraries for all major languages) support for lazy/partial deserialization?
Oh, somebody else has this problem. It is random for you, too? Like, reboot 45 machines, 1 hangs. Completely inconsistent.

Welcome to the 21st century. Times have changed. Driving robots are now a reality. Adaptive cruise is a real thing, and the most well-known adaptive cruise systems slow down to adjust to traffic speeds, not speed up and pass.

In fact, the most well known system made an adjustment some time ago that it would no longer exceed the legal speed limit.

> rational drivers must presume that the other vehicles on the road may possibly behave irrationally, and therefore must introduce a safety margin for the incorrect behavior of other drivers in addition to the margin defined by their own capabilities.

Exactly. So slow down. Join the train of cars instead of trying to pass them. Maintain a safe distance and don't worry that you will be late. You won't. 20 cars driving 70mph is better than 10 cars driving 80, one driving 85, five driving 75, two driving 90, and two driving 70. It is better for all of those cars, not just the two driving 70. They will all be safer, and they will all arrive at their destinations within 60 seconds of when they would have.

Humans are not machines, of course. But they can work on one important attribute with which every automated vehicle should be programmed: patience. In a world where human drivers increasingly share the road with robots, human patience must adapt.
> (a) an argument helping my thesis by showing that you can program functional languages quite well by using mutable recourses

Let me preface this by revealing that I'm neither a functional programmer, nor am I convinced that functional programming or immutability is any sort of silver bullet.

Your original thesis was that "a data structure cannot be functional," which you later defended by saying "git is only immutable on the meta level, its implementation uses mutable files", which, while being 100% true, is also true of the category of programming languages we call "functional" as they rely on mutable RAM. That is what the GP has been trying to explain to you, but your obvious hate for anything labelled "functional" makes you blind to all this.

Sorry mate, you just have to concede the point here. This is not a discussion about whether functional programming is any good, which is what you seem to be treating it as.
People's purchases aren't 'votes' in some context-less void.

Many folks (most in the last couple of years?) are firmly entrenched in the Apple ecosystem. Wanting a nicer camera and nicer screen, while not having to worry about migrating data and apps, forces the 'lighter/thinner' option on people. People moving from an iphone 5s to a 7 aren't necessarily "voting" for a thinner phone. They are more likely "voting" for a better camera or more storage, but are forced in to 'thinner' as a byproduct.

I've never met anyone in the last 5 years who's upgraded to a new phone based on their current device being 'too thick'. Camera, storage, speed and screen size are factors; thickness has never been a motivating factor I've heard from people.
What’s a good “paid-in capital” estimate of bitcoin?
I thoroughly support Devuan. I switched my home servers to it around the systemd introduction and kept their complete stability, and now I've been able to influence my company to run it instead of pure Debian. You have to make a few allowances for packages that assume they're running on systemd Debian, but overall the system works exactly as intended. And as commented in the article, it's stable and easy to understand.

At the risk of igniting something, the only serious recommendation I hear about systemd is improved boot times. My computers are rebooted only for kernel updates - this is the entire point of running Linux. I want uptime. I can stand a boot time of a minute or so if it's once a month or less. If I have to reboot regularly enough that boot times become a serious advantage, someone has done something very wrong with Linux.

In my opinion, the Debian developers were wrong to fully embrace systemd; it goes quite against the Debian principle of being able to adapt your machine to do anything. Yes, Red Hat held a lot of sway in convincing the community to adopt it, but Debian is a big distro as well - just look at the install base of Ubuntu. They could have held out and pushed back, but instead caved and now we're in the systemd mess. It intrudes so massively into userspace that it's impossible to get away from, and we wind up with the Windows model as this article points out - a massively complex spaghetti model of processes, all interlinked, all hinging on everything playing nicely. Just like Windows, it's a neat house of cards that could topple if any one of those crashed. This isn't Linux.

I'm not defending sysvinit, there's no denying it's showing its age and harks back to a much simpler time, but systemd is not the answer.

Plato’s Friendly Orange Glow
The environmental impacts of the US beef industry are in the same ballpark as the Chinese pork industry. Due to the shift towards feedlot production, it has been getting dirtier in most respects over recent decades. Antibiotic use as a growth promoter is still legal and ubiquitous in the US.

America's CO2 emissions per capita are still more than twice that of China. The Chinese government is clearly taking major steps to curb their resource use and their environmental impact; the current US administration is repealing environmental regulations en masse and has seriously mooted abolishing the EPA altogether.

China has some serious environmental problems, there's no debate about that. The problem is when China is painted as a unique or extreme environmental villain, which is simply untrue. China's environmental regulations currently lag behind the west by a few decades, but they're making meaningful progress in the right direction.

How to Discuss Bitcoin Without Sounding Like an Idiot
Here is the above text:

I don't know if they did this in Germany, but in our elementary schools in America, if we did something particularly heinous, they had a special way of threatening you. They would say: "This is going on your permanent record".

It was pretty scary. I had never seen a permanent record, but I knew exactly what it must look like. It was bright red, thick, tied with twine. Full of official stamps.

The permanent record would follow you through life, and whenever you changed schools, or looked for a job or moved to a new house, people would see the shameful things you had done in fifth grade.

How wonderful it felt when I first realized the permanent record didn't exist. They were bluffing! Nothing I did was going to matter! We were free!

And then when I grew up, I helped build it for real.[0]

Because Brexit wasn't a consideration in 2014. Even if it were, EU regulations that come into force during the notice period, or in the case of the U.K., a further 2 year extension period are still applicable.

Take GDPR for example. It's protections will apply to UK citizens, just as any other EU citizen, from May 2018 until such time that a) the notice period and extension period have lapsed, b) the UK government subsequently rescinds or replaces the relevant legislation.

Go maybe faster than Erlang in raw throughput but Erlang can compete with Go in Latency (mainly predictable latency). As you said it all depends on the scenario.

I found a more permanent solution. Instead of replacing it with a new battery, I replaced it with a Samsung S8. There are some things I miss about the iPhone, and maybe I'll consider it again in the future..but after 3 iterations of iPhones I got off the hype train when "it just works" became "it just doesn't work". I also had issues with backups and lost data...

My wife got the iPhone X (yes...I know, $1000) and she's encountered a few bugs/crashes. I make fun of her for it. I find the usability of my Samsung not as good as iPhone when iPhone was at the peak, but I'm ok with it beacuse I'm not buying a device that touts itself as 'it just works'...plus I got it for 1/3rd the price after massive discounts.

>For consumers, to whom shopping experiences matter as much, or more, than products, mass merchants are bringing nothing to the table.

I’m not sure if it’s just me not being a hyper brand-conscious teenager anymore or if I’m just out of touch, but out of this whole nauseating article, this statement was (to me) the most ridiculous. When I need or want a product, I don’t give two shits about the shopping experience other than did I find the product in a convenient manner and was it priced low enough for me to afford it.

I’m ignorant of the economics at work here. Is there really money to be gained by abandoning a strategy of lower prices but wide availability for one of more expensive and harder to access?

Regular mail, yes. Email, though, is largely just a waste of time.

Way too much non-spam disappears down overeager spam filters, which most people only check if they are specifically expecting some particular mail and it does not show up as expected--and even then many won't check their filters.

An ISP could white list their own mail in their spam filters but that would only help with the customers who use their ISP provided email. A lot of people use third party email providers instead and never use their ISP email.

In my humble opinion, there is no situation that would merit javascript injection that would not rise to the importance of fully disabling someone's internet connection, if only temporarily.

Case #1: Malware. Full disconnect, redirect to explanation.

Case #2: EOL hardware causing interference. Full disconnect, redirect to explanation, method to rectify.

Case #3: Consumer not getting what they paid for: email me/snailmail.

I think the RFC makes it clear: this should not be for trivial notifications, only critical notifications, and if it is truly critical, it should disable the entirety of the connectivity until the user acknowledges/remedies/whatever.

I call shenanigans.

> The contract between producer and consumer should never be fragile around additional values existing.

... it should never be fragile where fragility might cost more than it gains you. The open/closed principle is the right thing to follow in most cases, but not all.

For example, choking on unrecognized additional fields by default in development is often a big time/bug-saver, since it gives you an early "hint" that things might not be speaking the same dialect to each other.

Similarly, if you have a message convention that is heavy on "modifiers" which control irreversible things, sometimes it's better to be fragile rather than count on orchestration systems to work perfectly 100% of the time. Suppose you have a system for buying bicycles with a required field of "bike model", and modifiers of "color", "wheel size", etc. Now let's say your servers all got patched to expect a new modifier of "frame size" . . . except for one server which didn't restart due to a deployment bug, and is still serving traffic. If a client sends that unexpected additional modifier to the "old" server, and it gets ignored, this could result in sending a production order for an expensive unit with the wrong specifications. If not caught, that cost could be compounded by sending the wrong unit to the customer and pissing them off. Now, this is clearly not a problem with the message format, but rather with the orchestration/release system. But bugs in orchestration layers are incredibly common, and baking a bit of fragility into the messaging layer at the right places can help mitigate those bugs' impact.

How would you live with friends and not have your own space? Bunk up in the same room?That's just not done in the Western countries. In the past decades a usual shared house would be a private room, often with a lock, in a house with a shared kitchen, lounge and bathroom(s).

I also think you don't realise how a factory job did used to be a decent wage earner and you could have a whole other life on top of it.

>but it has serious drawbacks such as the time and CPU resources it takes for parsing and the lack of schema.

Ditto. And if you still prefer the schema-free approach of JSON but with faster encoding and decoding support across all common programming languages, take a look at MessagePack.

Unlike JSON, MessagePack is optimized for speed and encodes common data types efficiently. Unlike Protobuf/gRPC, it requires no centralized schema.
