> The internet has thrived thus far as a free market.

Nope. The internet (or rather, providing internet access) is not now, and has never been, a free market. Ever.

Monopolist ISPs have been tacitly constrained by the FCC for at least 20 years. They don't do crazy anti-consumer stuff, and the FCC leaves them alone. Verizon comes along in 2014 after many years of this compromise, and says screw this: we're gonna do what we want, and we'll get the courts on our side and say the FCC doesn't have the authority to regulate us in this way under Title I. And, well... it worked. The courts agreed. Verizon, however, thought it would be politically untenable to classify ISPs under Title II. But the FCC didn't flinch and did it anyway. So we have strong net neutrality regulation as of 2015 because Verizon pushed too hard and forced the FCC to do something. But in reality, we had a "gentleman's agreement" of net neutrality much, much longer than that.

Radio spectrum is a scarce resource. The allowance to dig up roadsides is not (and should not be!) granted to everyone. I can't just start up an ISP company tomorrow and meaningfully compete with Comcast or Verizon. And that's not entirely bad. We can't let any random person broadcast on random radio frequencies and interfere with everyone else. We can't let any random person come up and dig up the ground and lay cables and fiber whenever they feel like it. That would be incredibly disruptive and wouldn't be in the public interest.

So we have very little competition in last-mile internet service. And that can be ok, if we regulate it properly.

But are we? Do we have a perfect system to compensate for that? Hell no. Far from it. It's actually pretty terrible. But things like net neutrality are the only things keeping last-mile internet from turning into a minefield of anti-consumer, anti-competitive behavior.

If there's another system that can give us more competition in the ISP space, then by all means, let's pursue it. But anything like that will take years to come into being, and until that happens, we need the current regulation in place.

> While I agree 'something' should be done to preserve the competitive nature

Two things:

1) What should be done, then? If you have no actual concrete ideas, then what are you actually arguing? Let's just throw everything in the toilet and hope it sorts itself out?

2) There is no competitive nature. There never has been, and unless we do something incredibly novel, there won't be. We tried the idea of requiring the incumbents to allow RAND access to their infra, but it didn't work. What else?

Seriously, if you have actual, concrete ideas, please make them known. If you don't... why are you arguing against something that has proven to work, however imperfectly, and replacing with... nothing?
And what of the people who were working on the site of Apple Park before it was acquired? Apple didn't manufacture brand new land, they knocked down existing commercial buildings... and replaced most of it with green spaces, mind you.
The saying "if you give a man a fish he eats for a day, if you teach him to fish he eats for the rest of his life" seems applicable here. Microsoft gives you a fish with Windows 10, Linux provides tackle, bait and boat.
That’s social welfare. We already have that in most civilized places. It’s a punishment for failing to have a job whilest keeping you barely alive.
I see that change as soon as DOM bindings for WebAssembly are available.

Apple/Google/Microsoft would be stupid if they weren’t already working on a Swift/Kotlin/C# to WebAssembly compiler, as each of them would give them for their preferred language what JavaScript now has: the ability for developers to work in a single language, and move code between browser and backend at will.

Long-term, JavaScript is dead.

Just keep a copy of the `.git` dir before you try the complex operation. If you screw it up, restore it back and voila!
I think a better solution is to have some core principles that Youtube's censorship team abides by. If the video in question doesn't violate all the principles (or X number of them), then it remains up.

Of course that is difficult and actually involves discussions, which Youtube doesn't seem interested in having.
a still, while people cry about UI (which is irrelevant part), other people just take time and learn git. by whatever measures.

PS. throwing out things you test on. isn't that how every programming tutorial works? write code NOT in your main repository, test things out, throw it away (or keep it, whatever)?
I think the only solution to fixing this is for Safari to show the domain again. It is the URL that is unique and known by the visitor, not the business name.

Here in the UK it's more complicated, there is no way of registering a "trading name" or "trade dress" against a company so you can only have an EV cert issues against your actual registered business name. If that is different from your trading name and what you use as your domain name then they are less than worthless. For example, if the company is "Widgets of London Limited" but trade online as "Widgets Online" with the domain "widgetsonline.com" they cant get an EV cert with "Widgets Online" as the name - even if they own the registered trademark of it.
Modern PHP is really nice to work with. I uploaded the sample code from my book on Github if you want to have a look (check inside the src directory).

Writing a custom http router is kinda contra to the point of using a library, no?

I don't want to bother with writing my own router and this was one of the few times I had problems.

I think even if I wrote my own framework, I would eventually end up having to hack around it anyway when I inevitably need to do something the framework I wrote just fundamentally can't and I suggest this will be the case for your custom implementation too.
Yeah the Amazon link I gave is about $100 more than it should be. On Gearbest it's currently $50 less... welcome to non multinational megacorp hardware I guess? :) Same with less than stellar reviews. Performance may be greatly improved by properly applying thermal paste.

Steam has a ton of games equal to or better than the 2 big Switch games on basically whichever metrics you like, and many of those will run on the GPD Win. From a price per hours of mobile fun metric, there's no comparison. Still, good Nintendo games have a charm that resists straightforward comparison on metrics, but that's why they've remained relevant. After however many years it has been since Galaxy 2, we finally have a proper Mario game again, yay.
Apple's recommendations can be ridiculous though. When I go to the "For You" tab in their iOS app here is what is shown as I scroll down

1. Favourites mix - i.e. the music I've played the most

2. Recently played - i.e. the music I've played recently

3. Tuesday's Playlists - the first of any real recommendations so far, but 4 of the 9 album covers it shows in the thumbnails are music I've played recently

4. Heavy Rotation - i.e. music I've played a lot, but not just recently

5. Tuesday's Albums - recommendations based on an artist (Waxahatchee) I've listened to

6. Artist Spotlight Playlists - a selection of playlists, including "Influences" and "Inspired By" playlists by artists that I don't listen to and are really unrelated to most of my collection.

7. New Releases

finally there's the wordy stuff I don't care about, social media posts.

Most of this stuff is not even bad ML (like the "Amazon recommends me vaccuum cleaners because I searched for and bought a vaccuum cleaner" problem) it is just literally showing me what I listened to. I've tried the recommended playlists a handful of times and they don't really show me much new things, they remain pretty unchanged in the weeks or so that I check them.

When you throw in the fact that they periodically delete all of the music I've downloaded, and nuked a chunk of my music collection after I signed up ... I have to say, my experience of Apple Music overall is pretty terrible.
What about the devil's advocate?

As the internet kept growing for the last 20 years, "global bandwidth" have increased by a lot because of services like youtube, netflix. The democratization of smartphones multiplied this effect: people listens to music using streaming, and you could say it doubled the amount of connected devices (not to mention smartphones update apps quite often).

I'm not against net neutrality, but the internet is still a very centralized platform, and it's not surprising that very popular services can become problematic for ISPs.

If you look at bandwidth, the largest actors are using a disproportionately larger share of it compared to smaller actors.

I just want to ask, is there some accounting of how those big actors contribute to the internet infrastructure, or how much they pay for its access considering the bandwidth usage?

I know that monopolies are bad, but I'm really curious about the business of internet infrastructure and how things works.
Banking. In the EU I can just ask someone for her account number, input that in my bank account app, and the money would be in her account in an instant. Same with for example cash register payments. They would show in my banking app immediately, even if I was in another country. Also online banking apps are much simpler. Just account, payment, date, description and a contact list.

> Wow, the maintainer on that PR is a real jerk. He refused to answer a legitimate question (and locked the PR at the same time) because he thought the original (since edited) complaint of "The error message for this patch is terrible" was "rude".

The commenting user in this case immediately opened another issue where they were rude to another maintainer too, had to be warned about their behaviour and (unlike most people who are warned) did not apologise. This issue was not locked.

My work on Homebrew over the last 9 years has been almost entirely in my free time. That's time I'm not spending with my wife, friends, dog or (now) new baby. As my Twitter and GitHub bios point out: "I block rude people". I'm not interested in giving my free time to people who cannot be polite.

The GitHub UI indicates whether someone is a first-time contributor, contributor or maintainer. You get cut proportionally more slack for having a bad day and being rude if you've contributed to Homebrew already. I try to be over-the-top positive for new contributors and I will immediately and genuinely gratefully accept apologies that are given.

> MikeMcQuaid, if you ever read this, this sort of behavior on your part is a great argument for ditching HomeBrew.

If you'd like to ditch Homebrew: please go ahead. There's things that MacPorts do better than we do and the MacPorts maintainers I know are good people. If you use Homebrew: you are the one who benefits, we do not. I want to build something that's useful but primarily maintaining Homebrew needs to be an enjoyable experience for me and others for it to be a sustainable project.
Hi, there is simply no way Oswald killed JFK. And the Ruby assassination of LHO was not random at all. The fiction made up by George HW Bush and co (CIA) was necessary to cover-up the extent of the coup that had just taken place. There is so much credible evidence. You must also ask yourself: why, after all these years, is a substantial quantity of government info still secret? So secret that 'swamp drainer' Trump won't declassify it? Have you read Carl Oglesby's book "The Yankee and Cowboy War"? Incredible page-turner! https://archive.org/details/OglesbyCarlTheYankeeAndCowboyWar . And finally I don't vouch for everything in the following film, only that he encourages you to look up the facts for yourself. https://youtu.be/U1Qt6a-vaNM p.s. I was in grade school when the USA had its coup, and I remember very clearly how it was presented to the public back then.
As a convinced Git user, this is the one aspect of the article that I found genuinely interesting. I mean, you can commit anywhere in Git, too (and I occasionally do for some advanced use cases), but it tends to not be well supported by Git.

(And, I might add, probably not by Hg either if it requires enabling an extension...)

Anyway, hg show work looks like an interesting thing. It's perhaps a bit more magic than Git usually goes for, since you can't just show all DAG sinks (it would get messy really quickly with amends and rebases). And I don't think I'd benefit too much from it, since I've come to prefer having all my work-in-progress on a single branch. But I can see how someone could appreciate the feature.
Workflow for the team I’m on right now:

* Make changes

* Run tests

* Code review

* Submit changes

CI pipeline will run larger integration tests, make releases, and deploy to production. We can cherry pick commits to fix bugs at this point. The pipeline will roll out releases to the development environment on a nightly schedule and to production on a weekly using canaries.

You can’t submit if your changes don’t merge cleanly. You’ll need to fix the changes and re-run tests (can be slow) at the minimum.

If you don’t submit by end of Wednesday you have to wait another week.
Roaring Bitmaps is for sure another big thing out there. I will definitely write about it soon.
Afaik they already thought of that solution because YouTube videos support tagging/categories but it's the video uploader who sets those tags.

The problem is that once you introduce such a system, and leave all the control over the tags to the uploader, people start gaming it for better search rankings/more views.
So you are back to the same old problem of "who checks if the content actually matches the tags".

Other nations don't have our exact history and circumstances. I am not aware of another nation that historically used skin color to demarcate slaves from free.* The original pilgrims came here voluntarily because they could not fit in back in Europe, so comparing it to European norms isn't likely to ever work. If Americans could go along and get along with European norms, the country would have never been born.

We are misfits and mavericks and we are coping with an ugly racial legacy that is quite challenging to fully resolve. And maybe part of the answer lies in the current calls for reparations to African Americans. Maybe that will both make Blacks less angry and Whites less likely to feel that Black anger is unjustified, thus ill behaved.

Jane Jacobs wrote that eyes on the street is the key to safety. Fostering a safe and civilized climate means working on ideas like that. Confining these discussions to what should happen at the point where a cop has pulled a gun is pretty much guaranteed to fail to solve it.

Ah, you got unlucky. Yeah whenever I read "lucky" or "unlucky" in gaming I frown. Its a self deception to deal with the painful truth that you didn't play good enough.

That wasn't luck; that was skill. They reacted to your missile. Either you're in range of him and he can decloak you, or he has enough time to deflect, or is resource starved due to bad play or overburdened from you (unlikely given you're Prowler) or others (bingo), or he is actually not moving in a straight line which he shouldn't (a premise you ignored thus far). Especially not if you just rammed it already, or if you kept killing them. Like, hello anticipation? Heck, if you kept killing them then they shouldn't stick to Goliath.

I found the Mohawk much more suitable to kill Goliath. He can't deflect all the missiles, and if he does its just a matter of avoiding him enough. As long as you can aim you'll deplete his resources way faster than any other airplane can. I found it great in CTF (though not in FFA; although FFA doesn't interest me as much as CTF). I find FFA unrewarding because you can't compete on K/D radio and there doesn't seem to be some kind of goal (the bounty # just dampens your K/D ratio and seems to be have the purpose of a recent scoreboard). To me, FFA is practice for CTF/BTR. Ironically, a good enemy of Mohawk is a skilled Prowler who can anticipate movement and aim. Didn't see many of those around though.

Another observation is that the Mohawk is great to spray with the flame buff.

Its also funny how much more defensive people play in BTR. If they put in that effort during CTF and FFA I'd have a way more difficult time.
I can point the camera at a high-resolution screen or printed out photo though.
I don't see the issue. Google is curating their platform and trying to remove as much un-original and reasonably offensive content. The doc also didn't seem to contain any political leanings or cultural shifters. I believe much of this is part of the service agreement on Youtube.

Only issue I see here is the manual review process and subjectivity baked into that.
You forgot speech recognition.
> If the ship is decelerating, then the second stage moves slower than the first stage.

Only if you fire the next stage. Otherwise there will be only what little velocity difference was created by detachment itself.

> But even if this was true, the second stage would already be here.

Not if it was used to decelerate further :).

When the piece of furniture has a serrated corner that cuts deep into your toe, you'll probably reevaluate the appropriateness of your metaphor.

No. This does not safeguard any uncommitted files.
User-Agent Sniffing. It's the worst solution, everyone involved will hate it eventually and in the end it amounts to all software just continuously improving the same-yness of the string.
Commits are just a bit of local data. Until you push it out somewhere public, it's all just a big mushy pallette to do with as you will.
... so have a policy of all your "checkpoint" commits just having "checkpoint" as a message. Or ".".

Forcing a commit message is a good default, because it's a good idea to nudge developers towards properly expressing what they're doing. But if you think you know what you're doing, it's easy enough to work around.
How is it abstracted away from the actual assembly? Sure, you don't know how large the belt is, but you can just use the smallest size. The entire point of the belt is that the overwhelming majority of the time you only need the front few elements. The other major difference is the presence of extra special purpose instructions. That is exactly what feature flags are primarily used for.

A big problem is that youtubers do not know the reasons for the demonetization, so creators have to guess what is the problem, an example was a Linux video, nothing was bad with the video, people were speculating that maybe the problem was the word "bash" but we can't know if this word is on a blacklist or not.
FIY: While they claim being hounded back in Russia, and that they will be instantaneously jumped upon by 3 letter services if they were to run there, they were proven to have a huge office there as well as their main server infrastructure.

Another red flag, is that they were never blocked in Russia.

They look suspicious.
That whole situation was a mess. A scared cop with an assault rifle, an intoxicated suspect. Instructions that are a mess, a victim that can't comply with the instructions because of intoxication. Then the victim reaches for the right pocket while crawling on the floor, despite the warnings that the hands need to be up, visible, or on the floor. Scared cop fires.

I wouldn't really say that there's institutionalized conspiracy against blacks and that everyone is shooting them for no reason. There are obvious instances that individual police officers acted cruel but I wouldn't pin those instances as proof of a system wide corruption and conspiracy against blacks.

BLM is definitely not right.
The fact that those people chose or happened to make a living off someone else's website doesn't give them employment rights.

Unfortunately the platform is property of YouTube and while I think it would be nice for them to explain their rules when they invite the public to engage and participate, they are allowed to hold these as trade secrets :(
I think most sponsors probably have something in the small print about the appearance being monetized because demonetized videos usually don't fare very well, popularity-wise, on YouTube.

As a Smalltalk dev for a couple of years, I feel my biggest moments of enlightenment were not with Smalltalk, but Scheme (i.e., Lisp) and (yes, not a popular opinion) Javascript (Prototype-based language that eschewed rigid class hierarchies).

I still love Smalltalk but it's elegance (message passing FTW) and purity set a bar too high for me, and it still fell afoul of the fact that class hierarchies create a syntax/behavior that require you to re-learn a lot every time you join a new project (too many companies/projects rewired basic class functionality).
I'll give you my point of view then: I'm super happy with Go and way less happy when I have to read C++ with templates.
