Without a question, if cons cannot allocate, it should throw some exception; the code with its best intentions should be there. That way, someone who can tune their operating system or run on a MMU-less system can take advantage of it. The rest of the people won't actually it though; their system will thrash and either it or they will kill the offending process before it has a chance to reach that exception throw. That's if they don't run out of patience and just reboot the machine.
You can long-press to have it always off for a site too.

If you have a Mac, you can configure Safari there to default to a setting, say using reader mode automatically or autoplay videos.

It seems these settings are shared with mobile Safari.

And then you can override these settings per site in Mac Safari, and only the reader mode setting in mobile Safari.

A bit weird that you can't do it all in mobile Safari, it doesn't feel finished.

Your example is obviously unrealistic, but even when buying it, it rather supports my position. Imagine a regulator indeed pointing out where you can optimize your algorithms and thus save energy, money and achieve faster query processing. What is the problem with that?

The JVM is a great kitchen sink environment. The BEAM and Erlang/Elixir are much more finely tuned for their strengths: distributed systems, fault tolerance, immutable data/functional programming.

If you need raw performance, the JVM is definitely better. If you don't want to have to deal with the inherent tension between a FP language and mutable surroundings, the BEAM is worth a look.

Incredible human. Gates + Buffett credit him with helping come up with The Giving Pledge they so famously established. Such humility. Was honestly a sad moment when he was outed (1997, Time Magazine if memory serves me right) - felt like he deserved to give in private if he wanted to.

How to Build Password Generator with Electron and React Pt.1 – Setting the Stage
When you manipulate the state of something (e.g. database or memory), then in a transactional system you have to specify in which transaction the change is supposed to occur.

So besides commit and rollback, a transaction has a "change" method, if you'd like to look at it that way. The change method is what makes transactions useful.

And the API function is indeed supposed to call only "change", not "commit" or "rollback".

Because low-skill isn't unskilled. Employers know that even in these jobs a modicum of experience gives an applicant a decided advantage in applying for new jobs, and not having it serves as a bar for employment which means that this underpaid labor also has to beat the cost of retraining, then likely accept a below-market training wage to get work.

At the same time these clauses reduce the number of potential employers for any given candidate, so any given employer has less incentive to meet a higher salary demand.

The Build-Or-Buy Dilemma in AI
Tech companies are incredibly profitable. Fixed costs are really low. Employees are probably the biggest cost. This is in stark contrast to the likes of, say, Comcast, Spectrum or Verizon that have massive capex budgets.

Building a broadband network is an interesting business. I like to describe it as a hyper-local national business. I saw this because every municipality has different rules (eg compare getting pole access in Louisville vs Nashville vs Austin), the ground is different (one area might have a lot of limestone in the ground and make trenching slow, difficult and expensive) and so on. Getting something resolved might be a case of whoever is the construction manager in a given area knowing the right person to call that might otherwise have 11 people standing around for 2 days.

This is something that national ISPs are exceedingly good at because they've spent decades doing it. I mean they go further than that by trying to keep competitors out through regulatory blocks and so forth but this doesn't change the fact that this is a core competency.

It is not nor was it ever Google's core competency. Google is at its heart a technical company that solves technical problems. Making search or Maps or GMail worth with petabytes or even exabytes of data is something Google is exceedingly good at. This is an entirely different business model and core competency.

I don't know this for a fact but I SUSPECT that Google's executives went into Fiber with the naive belief that (a lot of hand-waving here) they were Google and could do anything and somehow they could reduce the cost per household connected from a more normal $1000-3000 to <$500. This might be true if it was a software problem. Digging up trenches and stringing cables to poles is not a software problem.

What's more Google has never really had to control costs in the same sense that a large capital project would have to. Worse, Google's culture that it'll ship when it ships (which is great from a software engineering POV) doesn't work when you need to plan for lighting up networks and areas and there are a lot of moving parts to make that happen. It's really a case of what gets measured gets done.

Add to this that there is uncertainty over what the future of fixed broadband is going to be. Will it be wireless or wired? That's the ultimate question. If it's wireless and you've just spent $50B building a national wired network then... woops. If it's wired and you've just invested $25B in building wireless infrastructure then... woops.

I suspect it's one of these cases where doing nothing is worse than doing something but I suspect Google's board was scared off by the large capital costs involved in doing anything and were too risk-averse to be wrong.

It's weird that the products of the U235 chain reaction seem noticably less horrible than what you get when you forcibly split U238 with a fast neutron from hydrogen fusion. It seems like you get way worse fallout from an H-bomb than from an A-bomb even accounting for yield. Unless you do what the Soviets did in the Tsar Bomba test and replace the U238 with lead.
Yes, such rules would make companies focus on specific local market first and expand slowly. I'm not so sure this is a bad thing. As you said, it doesn't make a difference to existing big companies. Slower growth for new ones could make it more likely we end up with different competitors in different markets (fb west, vk russia, ...) instead a single winner taking it all. And if some potential ideas won't make it cause of slower growth and a some more administrative overhead, I still prefer that over some large foreign evil empire pushing its social norms onto my country.

Based on the founding documents, Americans, because they are HUMANS, are born with the right to protect their lives and to pursue happiness. There is no right to safety (as there is no "RIGHT TO HAPPINESS") as safety would be something that OTHERS would have to provide YOU. Nothing that others must provide you can be a right.

It still causes the same problem. It limits the opportunities people have available to them. Lets say 5 Guys opens up shop right next to Subway and is offering $3 more per hour than Subway. With non-compete's at Subway, those workers would be stuck and there would be no onus on Subway to improve their wages or benefits.

Without the non-compete Subway workers would apply for work at 5 Guys, which would force Subway to become a more competitive employer.

No matter what rung of the ladder you're on, non-compete's hurt employees and benefit employers just as they were intended to do.
I think its worth pointing out how important it is having that one investor willing to fund companies and move them to a startup neighborhood.

Here in Jacksonville, FL we've seen 2-3 different attempts to create innovation districts downtown in the last five years, always led by entrepreneurial activists leveraging tax grants and "if you build it they will come" mentality. One collapsed after building an incubator and funding only small consumer products instead of the startups they promised and wasting a huge amount of money on overhead. One never got off the ground. Another launched to much fanfare and then went silent. I've been told political leadership are pretty sick and tired of hearing how entrepreneurship is going to save everyone.

You get these excited people wanting to make a difference so they follow the playbook but without the key players and it fails. But I get shade for being the one saying not to do it because its wasting goodwill for when a real opportunity comes along, everyone who could act has already been burned by false promises based on little more than hope.

It's totally true. Efforts to produce shorter stemmed wheat that were also resistant to rust[1] used induced mutations from x-rays in some cases. So if you feel like you want wheat that's been mutated to be a good crop via good old fashioned solar UV rays rather than scary artificial cyclotron x-rays you should look for heirloom crops rather than organics.

> Design patterns were meant to future proof code

Not exactly, most of them are intended to encapsulate change. If you don't have a reasonable idea how your system is likely to change then they're mostly useless.

> You probably can't predict the future as well as you think you can

It's not at all unusual for people to be good at predicting where change will occur, even if they don't know exactly what the change is. In my field, I have a very good understanding as to where the industry is heading and I design accordingly.

> Your program is a document. You can change it. You can make it do anything.

Those are two completely different situations, and it's intellectually lazy to consider them the same just because they're both words that people occasionally mix up.

First, who & whom are more rare in speech than its & it's which are fairly common.

Second, there is zero confusion about which one to use with its & it's. One is a contraction for "it is", and the other shows the possessive. These are very simple rules.

Who & whom, in my personal experience, don't get as much coverage in the English classroom. I'd be hard-pressed to find people who could tell me exactly when to use those versus its & its, as those come up less in day to day conversation.

Since its & it's have very clear rules and are used frequently, addressing the correct usage is important, same with your & you're and their, there, & they're.
