> In English words are roughly spelled in terms of their root meaning, which makes it easier for a native speaker to figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word.

Polish doesn't do this, almost everything is phonetic, and I don't have any problems decoding meaning of borrowed words. We have lots of loan words from Latin, German, French, Italian, and it's usually straightforward, because the polonization of spelling works with simple rules (English does this as well BTW).

transposition = transpozycja
position = pozycja
opposition = opozycja
conjugation = koniugacja
computer = komputer
battery = bateria
accumulator = akumulator
engineer = inżynier
logic = logika
mathematics = matematyka
algebra = algebra

I don't see how English version is any easier.

> The second is that pronunciation inherently shifts over time so you must continually tinker with spelling

Not really? Last spelling change was before WW2, and it was very minor. Polish texts from renaissance are readably by middle school students with no preparation. Sound a bit archaic, but perfectly understandable. Having smaller country with common media helps I guess.

Tradition? ;) I only use python for deep learning, which is not really that intensive in terms of code. Also most of the code out there for deep learning works on both python 2 and 3.

Also, your phrasing invites the question. Why on earth would I use a new feature in a turing complete language? Unless using the new feature results in tangible improvements in my code, I don't see a reason to use it.

I've read a bunch of different programming books over the years. Some were more helpful than others. I personally found programming books to be most helpful if I was trying to learn a specific language and it happened to have a particularly good reference book. The only two I read all the way through from start to finish were Programming in D and Programming in Lua. Pretty much any other programming book I've read I've only used the parts I needed and didn't really look at the rest.
> Apple TV collecting dust. Replaced by an Android TV due to not making it easy to play all file formats.

The previous Apple TV incarnations were not great, but the current Apple TV is fantastic.

If you need to access your own media, you can run an app such as Plex, Kodi or several of the other alternatives. I've only used Plex, which covers all of my needs.

With the current streaming offerings I'm increasingly less dependent on BitTorrent. Amazon Prime became available last year, but I especially appreciate niche players like FilmStruck (which has a small but rotating subset of the Criterion Collection) and Fandor.

I still don't know what these things are- the only picture on mobile was a animation from an artist...
Yes, though you can do better than is commonly claimed:

You can make use of known properties to improve the picture/extraction as you aren't taking pictures of random data.

You can improve resolution with multiple frames, having video gives you a lot more info.

You can extract even with very low resolution in limited cases, getting number plates for example. Very limited possible inputs (one font, known character, limited combinations) mean you can find a closest match more easily.

Of course some TV things are silly, but sometimes they're also far worse than we can actually do.

Hmm I don't follow. Wouldn't a generator function producing async iterators be "push"? Without any Rx involved?

I mean, ever since JS got generators, it has support for unlimited length iterables. Isn't an unlimited iterable of promises precisely what you describe as a push stream?

I didn't dive deep, but I do believe I was able to cook up a generator function that produces an async iterable of mouse events. It was able to `for await` it and console log the event data.
> The real problem driving this article is the legacy ambient authorities wanting to expand their role, insisting that the informal intentions behind the design of (and decision to run) the code should carry more weight than the code itself!

Just because I accidentally left my door unlocked today doesn't mean that entering my house, and taking all my stuff isn't burglary. You don't have to be a telepath to know that is wrong.

Under the 'code is law' doctrine, just because you could do something, you can do something. This is incompatible with anything resembling civilized society.

Society only functions because we respect the informal intentions of other people.
> Fees have actually come back to earth over the last month

Well yes, but who would to want to use Bitcoin as a medium of exchange now? The period of fee inflation will surely have killed that off for all but trivial uses.

Similar rationale with Bitcoin as a store of value. A 7% 30 day vol vs USD is, well, chunky.

As a vehicle for speculation and short term vol trading it's clearly still a thing but that's not quite what it was intended for.

No one is saying that. The point is that it might be a worthwhile tradeoff to accept some deaths as the price of the benefits that accrue from engaging in certain risky activities.
As a German I can only confirm this assessment. However, I would not downplay the danger of our hard-right political spectrum.
Even if we assume for the sake of argument that the Russians don’t have compromising material used for blackmail (something for which we have circumstantial but not direct public evidence), Trump has spent 20 years making his living from Russian money laundering. Why do you think he would “completely not care”?

Who said the “case was over”? It’s clearly an ongoing investigation, which will hopefully be allowed to proceed to its conclusion despite the president’s ham-handed efforts to obstruct it.

Why do you think Trump’s campaign was so filled with people traveling back and forth to Russia, having secret meetings with Russian intelligence assets, trying to set up secure communications channels directly to the Russian government, and so on? Why do you think they have spent so much effort on publicly lying about those meetings and communications, and so much effort on shutting down the investigation about it?

For all the alarm surrounding Tether there's no denying it's the one 'crypto' you'd wish you'd been holding this last month or so, which is kind of baffling.

I'm given to wonder whether, if some agency has indeed been using printed Tether to artificially inflate the price of Bitcoin, then is it not likely that we're currently witnessing their unwinding of that position?
> But there appear to be people buying BTC even now. ... Who?

Possibly the same people who are already holding a lot and not selling, which is why the volume is low. If those people don't have a lot of free non-BTC assets you'd see some bargain hunting as other investors try to exit, but limited overall volume no matter how hard the rest of the market is running for the exits and driving the price at which the true believers can buy down.
Luckily I don't have any right now that requires seeking of alternative venues.

Nice! Even though this is implemented before, it is easy to read (and if you only need simple functions, downloading Sage is a bit of a overkill (there is an online version of Sage which I used a lot during my PhD though!)).

Learning to speak basic Korean as a native English speaker the things that stuck out to me:

It took a lot of practice to actually get all of the syllables of a complicated verb ending, especially some of the nuanced ways of saying maybe, there are so many common ways to hedge your predictions of the future. The double consonants really were difficult to get down.

I spent most of my time speaking in the wrong honorific, even at a basic level you are taught at least 3, and they are applied to every sentence. Thankfully where I was foreigners weren't super common and were always given a large amount of leeway in mistakes with the language/culture.

I still think some phrases or concepts are funny, i.e. to say something tastes bad you say there is no taste. To say you are hungry you say that your stomach is empty, to say you are thirsty you say your throat is dry.

I don't recall the exact discussion from P2D2, but AFAIK the reasoning was more along the lines "There are other bottlenecks that we need to address first." That is, issues that would either limit the JIT gains or issues with better cost/benefit ratio (measured in developer time).
Well, it depends on what you define as 'works'. As long as you have an accurate clock (which most devices have nowadays), it works many times to take the latest state. Combine that with merging on an attribute level and you will have something most humans will accept as 'works'.

If you want to build an editor you probably have to ask yourself what your 'attributes' are, but probably the individual letters.

Last year I built something fairly similar to automerge but with a focus on offline clients. I use it to sync my app's data from different clients to an WebDAV server. As some Clients are sometimes offline when changes occur the, resolving conflicts can occur easily but resolving them in an expected way isn't that hard if you do the time trick.

It's like saying something's a True Story when it's not. When it's not, then you're held to a much higher standard of quality and creativity. Saying something is a True Story when it's not means you want to write fiction, but have the gentler criticism that is applied to true stories.

"the Bank of France maintains files which are only available to financial institutions holding a licence delivered by the Bank of France. The files only relate to a person if they have written bad checks, have participated in fraudulent activities, have been declared bankrupt or have bounced checks in France."

So the bank of France is a centralized credit bureau. So going by that, it's actually much more similar than different from the US system. The US system adds proprietary algorithms designed by actuaries to that rather than, or in addition to, manually underwriting. But it's not all that different other than being for profit.

We have many private companies act as data brokers here in the US, as opposed to a single central bank or government agency, because Americans hate government and love private businesses. The US is like "the government can't do anything, let private companies handle it and make money off it and the free market solves everything." We seem to be just learning that the free market can have problems too...

Designing a centralized government run system is a non-starter in the US. Even now.
You're right! That does seem like a lot of risk to be taken on blithely.

If I may offer a few points, in the interests of helping you understand why people might make a decision that seems so obviously silly?

First, bandwidth is still fairly expensive. It adds up much faster than many people expect. A CDN, especially one that doesn't meter or charge for bandwidth, is a lifesaver. Yes, it's adding a complex potential point of failure to your system. As you completely correctly point out, that is not a desirable thing. However, what you get in exchange for that complexity and potential failure is more controllable costs and a greater ability to fend off some major attacks.

On the control point, you're once again absolutely right! With the potential caveat that this puts CloudFlare on a level with every single other service on the internet. Unless you're one of the few people who owns all the infrastructure starting with your server and ending with a full backbone network, you're already relying on capricious companies vulnerable to legal coercion. So this isn't really a new risk for most people. It is, again, a risk people take because they judge the costs and added risks to be worth taking on.

And one would have to work pretty hard at it to get a fake DMCA notice through. CF's legal department doesn't screw around.

So you're absolutely, completely, 100% right on all counts. It's a lot of risk to take on, and your concern is wise and justified! For a lot of people, the gains to be realized justify the risks taken.
And if they say no along the way, what prevents the company from blocking access? Also, how does law differentiate between something that has to be separate or AND'd?
Very similar to Realm (also syncing CRDTs), though this seems more lightweight and works in client-side web apps. https://realm.io
At two different workplaces there was always a 'class' divide in the bathrooms. For us workers, the standard bright lights, stalls (w/ the gaps people are talking about), uncomfortable temperatures at times, noise, etc.

Then there were client bathrooms on a different floor. At one workplace, it was twice the size of the normal bathroom with the same amenities (2 stalls, 2 urinals), quieter, music, and air spray. The other workplace also had 'client' bathrooms which were two private bathrooms.

Both of the latter were a mainstay for people going off to take private dumps.

Not sure why your comment got downvoted. It's wrong, but raises a good point not previously addressed. Clouds can be thin enough so that their presence is undetectable against the "noisy" surface of the Moon. But that's not what's going on in this photo for two reasons. 1) The clouds are obviously too thick, and 2) the clouds would be illuminated by the Moon, with the brightness falling off exponentially further from the Moon. Also, the Moon's illumination would be the same color as the Moon (barring light pollution).
My experience is that it is really difficult to estimate runtime performance and memory requirements of Haskell programs. Not that it is impossible, but the straight-forward solutions often blow up in memory.

Furthermore libraries vary immensely in quality and for beginners it is hard to pick the right one for your job. Unfortunately most of them are also documented quite ... sparse.

It is also non-trivial to get a good web-stack up and running and there are many competing solutions using different architectures and with a different stance on type-safety. Their poor performance in benchmarks like https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ does not help either.

I don't want to dismiss Haskell and love the idea of FP especially using advanced type systems to get rid of possible bugs before runtime, but using it for specific tasks is not always straight-forward compared to more established languages.

Substitute “making music” for “programming” here, as a thought experiment. See how that reads.

Just because people keep doing something doesn’t mean it’s all “fine”. People make music in spite of the hardship. All of society benefits from their irrational, self destructive drive for creation. We could show some empathy and at least acknowledge that. Maybe even help find a way to make this beautiful gift they bestow on us less painful?

Currently it feels like we’re making them shit roses for us. Maybe let’s help trim the thorns :)

Another way to support Mark in other languages, is just to use map for both properties and contents. E.g. in Java, the key in map can be integer. Of course, the performance will not be as good as primitive array. But it can be one man's quick-and-dirty solution.
