I used to never watch Youtube and then I got a samsung 5k smartTV with the youtube app built in and I fell in love. There are such great content creators there once you get through the mess. The first thing I do when I get home from work to decompress is load up the youtube app on my TV and check the releases on the channels I follow.

Seeing generators and threads being mentioned in the release announcement of a text editor feels a bit... strange.

Then again, Emacs is closer to a LISP toolkit for building text editors than it is a text editor, so I guess it's not so strange after all.

Star Wars has always been more fantasy than science fiction. What did you expect?
Microcontrollers are already there, at least in terms of processing power, and they open up all kinds of possible form factors. The Cortex M0-based Arduinos can be made extremely tiny (see the Adafruit Trinket M0) and run at 48MHz. RISC vs CISC means it might not be as fast as a 33MHz Intel from 1995, but the new M4-based Arduinos are coming out running at 120MHz with the ATSAMD51 chips. When you have a 32-bit microcontroller at 120MHz in just 49mm^2 and 65µA/MHz power draw [1], all kinds of form factors are possible at speeds meeting or exceeding your average 1995 PC.

The existing fan base isn't the 6-10 years old toy-demanding target audience. In 15 years, those people will be spending their money trying to participate in the nostalgia being engineered today and the existing fan base will be largely irrelevant.
I wouldn't hate some sort of subversive twist, but at the same I don't think think it's necessary. To me the new trilogy has perfectly recaptured the heart and soul of star wars. I think a lot of the disappointment stems from life long fans who have expectations built up over years and years of being fans and speculating on what could be.

I haven't seen Solo yet, so I can't comment on that, but in my opinion I'd rather have one or two mediocre Star Wars movies a year than nothing at all.

I also think that people are greatly unfair when judging new entries in the franchise. It seems like if it isn't twice as good as Empire, it isn't worth anything.

'Last Jedi' was a lot of fun for me. I enjoyed it a ton. I can understand why people felt underwhelmed, but I also like that it was a typical cliff-hanger middle entry movie and can stand on its own. Maybe its just personal preference but I don't need mystery and open storylines to keep me interested. If anything, it leaves more freedom for the 3rd entry and provides plenty of jumping off points.

Overall I don't think Star Wars has a 'growing emptiness', I think fans are demanding way more than is realistic and are suffering from the hype machine/echo chamber that plagues media these days.

As a fan of both franchises, I totally agree with your take on Star Trek. But Star Wars isn't meant to be enjoyed the same way. The issue is that "science fiction" is such a broad genre, and it unfortunately encompasses both Star Trek and Star Wars. Star Wars is more fantasy than Star Trek. Star Wars does deal with some deep (but different) issues. How ought the powerful wield their power? What is justice? Jedi v. Sith is essentially a philosophical debate on the origins of power and justice. Those philosophies are reified by the characters. Look at Luke's behavior in Return of the Jedi -- he defeats his father (definitely drawing on "dark side" powers), but triumphantly throws down his weapon. There was no way he could have defeated the emperor using conventional force. But, somehow, that does not diminish the power of Luke, because his actions still directly caused the downfall of the emperor.

So Star Wars does have a kind of philosophical elegance, but it has to be appreciated from a different mindset than Star Trek.
I use events still and I'm past that age range. It's just a way to organize social gatherings and (rarely) find things to do you wouldn't otherwise know about.

My husband actually creates private events for things he's going to do because it gives him reminders. He could use Google calendar or something for that, sure, but he already uses events.
Yes, it's using JIT compilation (last I checked, they are using LLVM as the backend). Combined with a language design that takes JIT compilation into account from the get-go, making the problem much easier than trying to use a JIT later on (see e.g. PyPy).
I think there's a credible argument that it's not purely consensual. Websites are forced to allow search engines with a lot of market share to scrape them or they won't be found.

No matter how well-intentioned you are, if you write your own scraper and have it abide by robots.txt, you'll never get nearly as many resources as Google or Bing. Many websites approve only their scrapers and ban everything else outright.

I don't have anything against the large search engines, it's just not really easy to say no to their scrapers for most websites.
> I read through the list and agreed with every item.

I'm not particularly wealthy, but I agree. And you have my sincere congratulations on your success, which I, unlike others, recognize as the product of your hard work and risk-taking.
Yes, it's JIT compiled.

And my (very crude) understanding is that the stronger type system makes this much easier than in Python. The compiled version of any function is specific to the types of its inputs, and thus need not contain any further checks: simple functions often end up with literally the same assembly as C would produce.

There’s a picture from Radiohead’s original OK Computer website which this reminds me of.

“DENY OXYGEN

There is nothing I can say which will come as any sort of surprise to anyone. There is no work I can produce which hasn’t been done before. There is no music I can listen to which doesn’t remind me of something else. There is nothing I can do that isn’t documented in weekly magazines. My life is essentially a last-minute rush to reorder trivial, pointless, or stolen ideas into a primitive semblance of originality. Most of my time is spent crying in darkened rooms trying to remember who I was.”

The Gibson quote also reminds me of Synecdoche, New York, a stunningly beautiful film I probably can’t fully recommend because it’s so brutally depressing.

Great quote...reminiscent of a world where machine learning and linear regression have been applied ad nauseam to everything. regression upon regression.

As the article points out, it seems this is happening in the pop movie world, with superhero movies and rehashes, remakes galore, including star wars (franchise ended for me with Battlefront and KOTOR 2).

European Parliament Resolution on Distributed Ledger Technologies, Blockchains
For the curious, they also have an extremely detailed privacy policy: https://www.quad9.net/policy/

Seems like a fair deal to me. I get free DNS service, and companies sponsoring this program get metrics on threats and general Internet usage. I'm a little skeptical of their claims that individuals can't be identified from their anonymized data. E.g. I probably only get one or two hits on my personal website every week, so it might not be hard for a malicious employee to deanonymize visitors to my site.

Some highlights from the policy:

Many nations classify IP addresses as Personally-Identifiable Information (PII), and we take a conservative approach in treating IP addresses as PII in all jurisdictions in which our systems reside. Our normal course of data management does not have any IP address information or other PII logged to disk or transmitted out of the location in which the query was received. We may aggregate certain counters to larger network block levels for statistical collection purposes, but those counters do not maintain specific IP address data nor is the format or model of data stored capable of being reverse-engineered to ascertain what specific IP addresses made what queries.

There are exceptions to this storage model: In the event of events or observed behaviors which we deem malicious or anomalous, we may utilize more detailed logging to collect more specific IP address data in the process of normal network defense and mitigation. This collection and transmission off-site will be limited to IP addresses that we determine are involved in the event.

...

We do not correlate or combine information from our logs with any personal information that you have provided Quad9 for other services, or with your specific IP address.

...

Quad9 DNS Services generate and share high level anonymized aggregate statistics including threat metrics on threat type, geolocation, and if available, sector, as well as other vertical metrics including performance metrics on the Quad9 DNS Services (i.e. number of threats blocked, infrastructure uptime) when available with the Quad9 threat intelligence (TI) partners, academic researchers, or the public.

Quad9 DNS Services share anonymized data on specific domains queried (records such as domain, timestamp, geolocation, number of hits, first seen, last seen) with its threat intelligence partners. Quad9 DNS Services also builds, stores, and may share certain DNS data streams which store high level information about domain resolved, query types, result codes, and timestamp. These streams do not contain IP address information of requestor and cannot be correlated to IP address or other PII.

...

Quad9 does not track visitors over time and across third-party websites, and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track signaling.
The highest probability for success for the 'everyday person':

- Earn as much as you can from your own work. Take a 2nd job, change to a higher paying job, ask for more responsibility and a raise at your current job, go back to school for a more lucrative degree, ...

- Spend much less than you earn. Economize, share an apartment, buy an inexpensive car, shop at Trader Joe's and Costco, ....

- Learn how to invest. This is really important. The most deliberate and highest probability of ultimate success is likely mutual funds. Individual stocks can goose it, but should only a small portion of your wealth, as they start to bring a luck factor into the mix ...

- Protect your investments. Health insurance is really a must in the US, might be a must elsewhere. Work for a company that offers health insurance. Car insurance is a must. Other insurance is probably wise.

- Be patient. The compounding effect of investing takes a long time, but once it gets rolling, it's pretty much unstoppable.
I think they bought it purely to prevent it evolving into a competitor. It's got too many users to kill off as a product, and at least they are 'Facebook' users in a roundabout way, and by not adding anything anything new to WhatsApp they can keep it subjugated. Keep your enemies closer and all that.

You are not wrong. But when I first watched the original Star Wars movies, I was a kid and had lower standards. When I watch these movies today, it is less about the movies themselves, but about revisiting those pleasant childhood memories.

The newer movies do not have those memories attached, so I am more critical. It's the same with Indiana Jones - the fourth movie was not really bad, but without the warm glow of childhood memories it does not have that same magic.

Battlestar Galactica worked out very well, but that was mostly because they turned the original show completely inside out and turned it into something that could stand on its own.

When refactoring or iterating, I often change React component between functional and classical ones. For instance, sometimes a component extending React.Component turns out to not require any states or methods. In that case, I rewrite it as a pure function, and vice-versa.

However the process is time consuming and tedious. Therefore I have automated it by making this tool. Hope it helps.

So do better! Find me an economist who truly believes in EMH and is either not a neoclassical (that's about half of all economists) or makes some real-world economic decisions (like in a central bank) or has expressed his belief in support of EMH after 2008 crash.

I gave you two Nobel prize recipients who actually wrote famous articles explicitly outlining market inefficiencies.

Regarding Steve Keen, I don't have my copy handy, but I am sure it has plenty of additional citations. While it is written in accessible style, it is certainly not unsupported. (I personally think that every student of economics should read him, but it's up to each individual what they want to do with their free time.) Many post-keynesians I have read expressed similar dismay about EMH.

CiBO Technologies: Front-End Engineer – St Louis
Not just the Middle East. You could say the USSR itself was in fact partially an example of this pattern. The US donated enormous quantities of resources to the Soviet Union during WW2 to beat the Nazis, including significant railway infrastructure; the Cold War began virtually the moment both US and Soviet troops were in Berlin. While it is true that most Soviet weaponry was home-grown, arguably they would not have won without US aid.

In all the major conflicts after that - Vietnam, Korea, Middle East - the US was supporting opponents of the Soviet Union.

I agree with the strategy that hopping jobs results in faster income increase than staying put. I'm just saying that in my experience, there is a cap on how much you can make in any salaried job unless you are a very rare person. You may find it difficult to continue to raise your income by job hopping. You may need to think about selling value rather than time to exceed your current pay.
Interesting quote, but this can also be applied to the novel "Pattern Recognition" from Gibson itself. After devouring the Neuromancer Trilogy, I anticipated some of the same vision and greatness in this book. Sadly, this is one of Gibsons "most derivative, most removed from the source, most devoid of soul" Work.
