How well does it work with class redefinition? Do your instances created with the old definition automatically update to become instances of the new definition, or do you need to recreate them?

Common Lisp goes to a lot of trouble to ensure old instances automatically become new instances - given the repl is a first class feature, the whole language is built around this concept. But with C++ I can't quite picture how it would work.

Certainly, if ISPs can access your data, they would like to. Its basically free money. But its not a life-or-death situation for them, and thus my (somewhat uneducated) guess is that there is less management focus on things like deep packet inspection and consumer targeting. They can also jsut jack up prices or sell more subscriptions. At Facebook, on the other hand, selling ads is priority number 0. Its the only way to make money. So I'd worry more about Facebook seeing my traffic.

Personally I think a billion dollars for a nationally recognized electronic payment system is worth it. In the US the commercial solutions (venmo, paypal, etc) work fine between friends, but sometimes you get stuck having to write (paper) checks. There are several reasons this can happen:

- Some people are just old-school. I've had several landlords who barely understood the internet, good luck getting them to give their banking details to some trendy company in SF. I had one roommate who would routinely drive 30 minutes to drop off a check in my landlord's mailbox, for example. This wasn't secure, and if either my roommate or our landlord was traveling our rent payments would be late.

- Municipalities or government-supported entities are on unstable ground if they start playing favorite with private payment systems. Try getting a national lab to accept paypal, or the University of California to transfer reimbursement to an IBAN through TransferWise.

I imagine it would be even more complicated for cryptocurrencies. And in all cases, I can't say I blame people for asking for checks: it's often low-level clerks who have to do the work, why should they risk getting fired for your convenience? When the national standard is paper checks, having them stolen, arriving late, being forged, etc are all just "the price of doing business".

On the other hand, no matter how much you save your employer and increase client satisfaction by using something non-standard, you're on the chopping block if something goes wrong.
I don't see how you can ever get something named carrot out of beta (carotene). Your product looks a lot like Yammer (which we have in addition to slack, XMPP and email) in that there are threads. Threads make Yammer better than Slack but there are still two things that I hate (and that Google/Apache Wave got/gets right): 1) Comment threads are hierarchical so side conversations can happen in-line but also be out of the way. 2) Blips that I've read or that I'm not interested in can be collapsed.

The best conversations in Slack should really be a conversation in an issue tracker. Unfortunately, nobody will see those comments when they look at the issue. One issue I see with the carrot UI is that there's not really enough room to have a real conversation in the comments side-panel.

I think browser developers should look at what Brave is doing with the Basic Attention Token instead.

Under 18 you are not able to form fully valid contracts in Germany. Period.

If you're under 13 any contract that exceeds reasonable monthly allowance is automatically invalid.

All other contracts or "floating/pending valid", ie valid until the parents agree. There is also a clause on 16 to 18 year old kids but IIRC it just shifts responsibility away from the parents more. A contract that is "floating/pending valid" is usually not a problem, it just means the parents can terminate the contract as if it never existed within reasonable bounds (if you bought something from the supermarket and ate it, your parents won't be able to get the money back)

> Having a monorepo split up in lots of microrepos is straight up not possible in git.

Not saying you should, but if your goal is to have a single repo (VCS) per repo (Arch) within which all packages are stored, and replicate the {core/{foo,bar,baz},extra/{qux,tor,meh}} tree, there could be many ways to do it depending on the exact needs, by leveraging GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE, GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES, clone --single-branch and checkout --orphan.

Single monorepo with orphan branches, single clone, multiple work trees:

# create monorepo
mkdir core
cd core
git init --bare .git
export GIT_DIR=$(PWD)/.git
# add package in its own branch isolated
export GIT_WORK_TREE=$(PWD)/bash
mkdir bash
cd bash
git checkout --orphan bash
git add PKGBUILD
git commit
# switch package
export GIT_WORK_TREE=$(PWD)/readline
mkdir readline
cd readline
git checkout --orphan readline
git add PKGBUILD
git commit
# back to bash
export GIT_WORK_TREE=$(PWD)/bash
cd bash
git checkout bash

But each time you switch you have to switch the branch too since HEAD is in core/.git, so to work around that you can share the object dir.

Single monorepo with orphan branches, multiple clones but shared object dir, multiple work trees:

mkdir core
cd core
export GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY=$(PWD)/.git_objects
mkdir bash
cd bash
GIT_DIR=$(PWD)/.git git init # otherwise .git will be created next to .git_objects
git checkout --orphan bash
touch PKGBUILD
git add PKGBUILD
git commit -m "Add package: bash"
cd ..
mkdir readline
cd readline
GIT_DIR=$(PWD)/.git git init
git checkout --orphan readline
touch PKGBUILD
git add PKGBUILD
git commit -m "Add package: readline"
# back to bash
cd ../bash
git branch # just to check it's "bash", not "readline"
# clone existing package
cd ..
git clone some.where:core.git --single-branch --branch libarchive
cd libarchive

That's from the top of my head, and well it very much depends on what you want to achieve as a workflow.

Great idea! Concerning the Terms of Service:

Intellectual Property

Haiku claims no intellectual property rights over the
material you provide to the Service. You acknowledge that
Haiku owns all right, title and interest in and to the
Service, including without limitation all intellectual
property rights, and such rights are protected by U.S. and
international intellectual property laws. You agree that you
will not copy, reproduce, alter, modify, or create
derivative works from the Service.

So let's say I try out Haiku under these terms, and go on and program my own solution that intersects with what Haiku does, and uses some ideas I picked up from Haiku (together with my own). Would this be a violation of the Terms?

That sounds so strange to me. I was an avid reader for as long as I can remember - and my motivator were interesting stories. I also had parents and grandparents who themselves loved to read. Of course, I didn't have the alternative of computers until I was almost an adult, and the web only was developed while I was at university already. So I am not putting too much of an emphasize on my own experience.

I could even imagine that setting a motivator that lies outside the task itself may have long-term negative consequences. It should be the task itself. I know a lot of people think things like work are counter examples - we work because we want something else, but I think that too is wrong. I always loved work, even mundane routine jobs, from early on I worked in factory settings (e.g. during longer school breaks, I grew up in East Germany) and even boring things like working on a machine the production line of a brewery (doing the same simple things over and over all day long) were fun, knowing that my job had a purpose. Only when people treated me like I had to be "motivated" (by pressure), for example when some supervisor in a chocolate factory saw me doing nothing (I had just carefully prepared a machine and was now observing its progress - it was the opposite of "doing nothing") my job motivation went from 100% to 0 in a heartbeat. I think when motivation is not there it probably is a pull issue, not a push issue. When I see purpose (incl. the one of serving society) at the far end I like doing even boring tasks, was my experience since childhood. Okay, that last comment leaves the topic at head behind, there only is what I said in my first sentence.
I've paid for nonexistent products on Kickstarter.

I wouldn't pay for a SaaS product that didn't exist yet for two reasons:

1) if I'm looking for it, it means I need it yesterday, not 2 years from now

2) if it doesn't exist yet, I assume it's a scam

In order to make this work you would need a way to build trust.
I remember a story about M&S in the U.K. Up until a few years ago they only sold their own brand food, which had a higher price and a higher perceived quality to other supermarket brands.

The story goes that their biscuits are made in the same factory and cooked in the same batch as other brands, but M&S required that their biscuits be taken from the centre of the tray where they were cooked in the oven more evenly.

Perhaps consider removing the choice? For example, have only one input (the desired format) and above it some text saying "How would you format '28/03/2018 21:37'?".

This removes the confusion of two inputs, and provided you select an unambiguous baseline date (day & hour > 12) it should be more clear.
I'm curious about the "20 year" difference between the UK and Australia too. My brother moved down under in 1999 (so, y'know, almost 20 years ago) and I've visited for 1-4 weeks every year since 2006. Never in that whole time have I noticed any radical difference in the personal finance experience, nor had any "ah man, you lot back home are so backward!" anecdata from him.

This is a good challenge. You may disagree, but I believe that overall (some individuals may fall far from the mean), there can be no better way to determine how best to do parenting than the way that parents actually do it.

It is inconceivable to me that rules (morality, laws, tradition or whatever) should decide against parents in the large. Evolution has determined that parents will always be the ones most vested in their children's general well-being.

You're using 'tessellation' in a weird way. Anyway, if you want to calculate optimal knot positions to approximate a curve using some fixed number of straight (or polynomial) spline segments, there are a bunch of papers about that, or I think there's a relevant chapter in De Boor's book.
I'm not sure if that would slow the page down and make it unusable though. Prioritizing non-mining activity seems like it might be trickier than simply capping processor usage.
