I didn’t read the article that way at all; I read it as implying that Wake was intentionally written in a way to be unapproachable so as to frustrate literary critics (whom Joyce was undoubtedly aware of and influenced by). Almost like an inside joke that nobody else was in on. The author even mentioned the approachability and seductiveness of his other works, so I took her comments as being restricted to the one book.

I’m no Joyce scholar by any means so I don’t know if that’s true, but that was my reading of the article anyhow.

I do a free beta, then various paid betas. The goal is also to find a price point. A user can either leave feedback in my betas and get that month free, or they can pay. The idea that all they have to do is give feedback for a free service usually works well...

Eventually, when it's easier to pay, some users will start leaving money instead if feedback. At some point I'll raise prices a bit and stop the feedback for service system.

Amd has had better chips at a lower price point since always.

You can get a 8 year year old octocore that still destroys anything Intel has put out recently.

Intel relies on inertia. Amd consistently beats them on actual performance at a lower price. I remember my 386 dx 2 had better performance than an Intel 486. And let's not forget the p4 issues with their garbage ram. Plus they backdoor their chips with stupid insecure crap
I have no intimate knowledge of role models of every child, but how the fuck kids in the hood end up with a racist dumbass as one is nonsense. Those are not role models, those are the good old enemies of progress, the ethnophobes, the good evangelicals, or the good mothers who won't let their precious Percys play with Marquis.

It's not their fault that they are trapped, but the fact is still that. They incorrectly under value long term goals like staying out of jail (the overused example of making quick bucks by selling drugs), just like almost all people, they just pay for it much more, since they happen to be poor.
I guess that would be useful in a case where you'd want a representation with an importance that is reversely proportional to the airport importance.
Speaking a foreign language is that meter for me. If I don't get proper sleep, my tongue doesn't do what I want it to. I slip up more in my pronunciation and I forget words that I need. More sleep has always equalled higher fluency for me.
There is no performance penalty associated with try/catch. At least in JVM languages, try is free (its a compile time phenomenon) and throw is also free (memjmps), its only the creation of the exception that is expensive and this can be avoided by pre-allocating an exception (at the cost of no stacktrace info).

Developers are better off in the end with proper exceptions because these sorts of Result objects don't scale. Haskell ultimately embraces proper exceptions and I suspect Rust will get there too eventually. F# actually has proper exceptions which makes you wonder why the author is reinventing the wheel badly.

I have something like 6 pairs of the same jeans, most of my underwear, a lot of my socks, always the same Amazon ASIN. When I run low on something, I check my purchase history and rebuy.

Same for my shoes- I have a pair I like, and when they got old I went back to the same store and got the same shoes again, identical.

It sure makes getting dressed far easier in the morning.

> The era most similar to ours could arguably well be the pre-WW1 era, with several imperialist powers vying for larger markets and better raw material supplies, without any real threat of a socialist revolution, which at the core had the notion of workers unity across nation borders.

Uh, false? One of the major factors in the breakout of WWI was that all of the major European powers had massive, divisive conflicts (largely related to class), and their leaders felt that a war would be a good way to help bring unity to their own country while looking over at their competitors and feeling that a war would push the other countries over the edge.
I Heard something controversial on the radio the other day. Don't finish your antibiotic course. Stop when you feel better.

The rational was:
Bacteria becoming resistant due to a treatment has only ever been proven for a handful of conditions( TB , HIV syphilis, and so on). The other bacteria are ether resistant or they aren't prolonging the treatment does not encourage a resistant mutation.

By prolonging your treatment with antibiotics you create an environment in which antibiotic resistant bacteria, both the good and bad kind, can replicate easier. Due to Horizontal gene transfer good bacteria can transfer their antibiotic resistance to bad bacteria.

This advice is in stark contradiction to the Fleming quote.

I heard it on the radio and can't remember the sources, but it makes sense to my non medical mind.

There is also benefit to be had in HOW the author found the root cause of the problem. That was more interesting to me than the problem itself.
I'm guessing it's more complicated than that with viruses involved. IIRC killed viruses like you'd use in a vaccine only include the protein coat, not the DNA/RNA. Even if that's wrong, you'd be talking about a bacterium stealing and using viral DNA, which is probably not as easy, and not guaranteed to produce a result that harms the human involved.

Ed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inactivated_vaccine methods vary, and some definitely leave in DNA.

A closer look at MSIX (Win32 and UWP container)
I think where my comment differs from an anti-vaxxer's position is that I am an (admittedly self-described) content area expert. I am not attempting to discredit established science, I am providing more context that a layperson reading this article would otherwise lack.

My concern with the article is that uses the same sort of vague and general statements that you're concerned with to argue against the use of sedation. For instance:

"The police encounters that led to EMS using ketamine ranged from cases of obstruction of justice to jaywalking, according to the report. One man was dosed with ketamine while strapped to a stretcher and wearing a spit hood."

To someone without the context of what these sorts of scenarios often look like, that sounds awful. As someone with a decade+ of EMS experience, I can think of a dozen calls that could be simplified into that paragraph. In every one of those cases in my personal experience I feel I acted in the best interest of the patient, while protecting my own safety and the safety of my crew. These are not decisions that are undertaken lightly, and even in cases where I'm 100% sure I made the right call, these are still the decisions I dwell on for the next couple days.

You are absolutely right that my point is to argue that things are more grey and nuanced. Because they _are_. When I read this article, I think about all the time I've sedated someone, and the ways in which those scenarios could be simplified and twisted into a case where I "obviously" did the wrong thing.

I'm not sure how you expect me to discuss this without using abstractions. I don't have specific knowledge of the cases involved, and it would be inappropriate for me to share all but the broadest details of the situations where I have personal experience.
It is done by amateurs who design "super secret encryption algorithms" that nearly always turn out to be trivially breakable.

I'll assume you don't mean this "random algorithm" you "throw in" to be secret, (otherwise see the other response) and instead you hope that complicating the algorithm to make cryptanalysis more difficult.

The thing is - You don't want cryptanalysis to be difficult! You want the world's cryptographic experts to look at your algorithm, immediately see the potential ways to crack it, and quickly find that none of them actually work.

A complex encryption algorithm is bad because there could be vulnerabilities hiding in the complexity. That "swapping every 7 symbol" could make it easier to crack by creating subtle patterns in the output.

I would be OK with occasionally paying for other streaming services than Netflix if they actually worked, I.e. better than torrents and preferably on Netflix's level.

The other services available in the Nordics are not even close with some "not working at all" and some have shitty/exclusive device support. Subtitle/language options tend to be abysmal and Netflix, which isn't very good on this front, seems to be the winner there too.

I'm more or less still waiting for Steam for films and TV series where I could just download the video file with whatever audio/language track I want. Providing a Netflix quality streaming service seems to be ridiculously non-trivial so it would be great if less complex and better working solutions were offered until the streaming platforms are figured out. Until that happens torrents offer a vastly superior way to watch content that is not on Netflix.

I've had a guy come in on an F# project that used exceptions in a relatively data intensive workflow and rewrite it to use Results like this.

The amount of boxing and unboxing as you go through the various switches actually can ultimately make this much less efficient than the exception based flow. The code was ultimately something like 8 times as slow, and topped out CPU on beastly boxes which was surprising to me.

Because not all solutions work the best for all problems.
Even if the structure is not small enough, unless the address does not escape (which can be common for local objects), the compiler is free to split it up in its constituents and only store some (or none) of its constituents in memory, which doesn't even need to be contiguous. I think this optimization is called scalar replacement of aggregates.

> However, while omnichannel is growing in importance, our study suggests that 83% of shopping journeys still happen within a single channel — overwhelmingly in traditional stores, which account for almost 80% of apparel purchases today.

The problem with this is marketing. Today, there is no effective way of targeted marketing for those 80%. That's a shame and there are tools to solve it, one is coalition loyalty programs. It's like a store loyalty program but for a coalition of stores. An important European brand for such a program is payback.

I'm working on improving such a programs (and there aren't many, and this in spite of 80% store purchases) by making it location and customer-aware and suitable for even small businesses to enter the coalition. Currently it's a working server back end and I need another 2-4 months to come up with a good demo. I'm looking for potential clients and/or strategic investors to make it a real product if anyone is interested.

Motorola's Foldable Phone Breakthrough Is Literally Hot
Being in the Army and being on the front lines getting mowed down are not mutually exclusive.

And for example, U.S. casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan for the last 15 years is ~4,424. Being in the army in the U.S., UK, or nearly any advanced nation today isn't quite the meat grinder that WWI was.
I agree with your point, but to add an additional public example: the creator of GWAN was also rejected by the process http://www.gwan.com/blog/20160405.html
Not sure what you mean by "build up and tear down" but in what way do promises not pass errors to the next function in the chain?

Consider code like this:

p1
.then((value) => {
console.log(value);
return Promise.reject('oh, no!');
})
.catch((e) => {
console.log(e);

// Handle the error if you want, and keep going
return Promise.resolve()
})
.then(() => {
console.log('This still gets executed')
})

How is this not amenable to the railway pattern? You define how you handle the error within a function in the promise chain. Error handlers are fully composable with success handlers, which seems to be the important element necessary for implementing the railway pattern.

One of the dark arts of chip design is getting a pulse on existing code in the wild, and evaluating potential microarch changes against it.

Someone else can pipe in, but the impression I got from friends in that industry was that Intel had a fairly advanced org set up to evaluate that.

Or to look at it another way, they didn't want to make an $x billion bet without due diligence.
Ah right.

As probably most people have heard, we in Europe think that Americans are a bit silly to want such large vehicles. Driving an A class or 118 would be both more fun and use much less fuel than an SUV that you really only use on highways and streets.

> while the OP gave examples where someone handcuffed was sedated, and someone strapped down was sedated, but not both

Ah, I think that's a case where my existing context led to a lack of clarity... If someone is "strapped" to the stretcher (i.e. not just the usual seatbelts), then their wrists are restrained (either in handcuffs, or using "soft restraints" to the side rails of the stretcher). The reality is, a stretcher is not designed to serve as an anchor for restraints, and someone who continues to fight over the course of a 20-30 minute transport will eventually work themselves free (at least enough to start kicking).

Similarly, chemical restraint is always preceded by physical restraint. It's only when physical restraint isn't working (i.e. someone is fighting hard enough that there's a risk of injury) that chemical restraint is employed. It's in those cases that chemical restraint is safer (obviously continuing to wrestle with someone is more dangerous for everyone involved).
Rainbow sandals gets this. I wear them daily, and buy a new pair every 2-3 years (they last a long time). Every time I shop for a new pair, I find the same design I know and love. I agree with you. More brands should be so stable.
Huh, interesting. This Quora answer[1] claims:

Some horses do have tremendous endurance capabilities, but not many. The average companion-horse probably would not comfortably go 56km / 35 miles in one day. The average rider would find 35 miles too far, as well!

The Wikipedia article referred to up-thread talks about the Human vs Horse race being 35 km / 22 miles, with the humans on foot having a 15 minute head start.

I always assumed those movie sequences where a bunch of folk on horseback go after a person on foot, who had a few minutes head start, were a dramatisation. Turns out it's probably more realistic than I thought, with the person on foot having the advantage of being able to traverse terrain a horse would have to go around.

The shoe stores where the shoes are on the wall instead of in isles with boxes underneath have very knowledgeable staff that are great. The price of shoes are usually the same as the stores that have shoes in isles with boxes underneath, with the exception that isle stores will have more discontinued models at a discount.

I think it's a personal preference. The isle model requires less labor but the wall model uses less real estate.

> Black overpowers everything else

This is the key idea of the article - very high contrast is powerful visually, and you should avoid too high contrast if that isn't what you want.

This can be good advice, but realize that #000 is not pure black (colors on the screen are also colors in the environment, so they may get reflection or be emitting light, even if they are displaying #000), and some users may prefer or need high contrast for accessibility, especially in very bright environments.

But if you want to see the closest to pure black you can get, go to a total eclipse - that disk of the moon surrounded by the sun's corona was _amazing_! Such an intense contrast, and it really did overpower everything else.

And yes, even that isn't "pure black" - but it sure felt like it!

Some people don't understand what it means to chain functions returning maybe types together, so they need more words.

Also, We're not taking about maybe types here. This article is demonstrating a specific library that composes a specific either type using F#'s computation expressions or custom operators.

Lots of people don't know what computation expressions are, nor are they familiar with the bind operator. They don't know why they'd use an either type instead of try/catch.

You can always reduce the number of words to say something, but you often sacrifice context and end up alienating people when you take too much for granted.

Great until the password manager has security issues. They're still passwords so even after they fix up shop, you still have to [very manually] go from site to site replacing your passwords. Until you do that, you, your data and your online persona may be vulnerable somewhere.

The main problem is that people don't like to carry multiple models with them (after all, there's a very real cost to keeping multiple models updated, and evaluating them simultaneously and then checking which one is better over time according to some meta-goal), but that's the problem with these fat tail distributed events, like doomsday scenarios, conspiracy theories, "low probability + huge impact" happenings. Sometimes they do happen, but they are very rare and thus unlikely, and (!) in case of conspiracy theories it's very unlikely that people will notice it beforehand, because they are not derivable from first principles like an asteroid impact, or sentient runaway machine intelligence turning itself into an army of killing robots. So, our best bet against conspiracies should be systemic, built into our everyday lives, like anti-cartel regulations, whistleblowing protection, government and corporate accountability and transparency and so on.
Performance per watt/cost vs performance AMD has not been consistently beating them. There is a reason multiple companies continue to get intel after reviewing AMD's current offerings every few years (I'm in one of them to remain nameless)

I absolutely don't believe an 8 year old AMD octacore will "destroy" anything intel has. Sure I imagine a single highly specific and biased test could give AMD the advantage in that one instance, but overall performance AMD has been behind since the pentium M/core2 with only a few products that initially compete or win, only to fall behind again.
