> that was accessible by a large majority of its population

Austria had major attendance and implementation issues (e.g., only a 50-60% attendance rate) which apparently weren't fixed until the Reich Public School Law of 1869.

That said, I remember that there was a lot of discussion at one point about how individual behavior in countries that overlapped ex-Austrian/Habsburg territory could be mapped against historical (19th century) boundaries.

Getting back to the original point, Japan was successful because it had high levels of urbanization, which made state directed education more accessible and easier to attain. Other countries/territories implemented compulsory education well before Japan (e.g., Massachusetts first required compulsory education in the 1640s), but efforts either had comparatively lower penetration or relied on non-state institutions (e.g., the church or private institutions) to enforce.

After all some of the most famous Romantic artists came from Germany: Heine, Beethoven, Hölderlin and Goethe himself. The latter's Werther was the most emotional novel until at least Madam de Bovary, which was written about 80 years later.
I'm pretty sure De Gaulle was a time traveller, because a lot of calls he made were that way; "okayish" when they were made but jump 20 years forward and suddenly it's clear as day.

Sadly he was maybe a little too good at it, because now my country is frozen in an incessant quest to find a new De Gaulle; we can't accept the idea that politician - even president - are flawed and make mistakes, so we call all of them "bad", "wrong choice", ... That's why our president always have rock bottom public opinion.

IIRC it won't be that easy in germany. Copyright is non-transferable so Elsevier has a license. Additionally we have the Verwertungsrecht, which is part of the non-transferabl part of the copyright law and gives the author of a work the exclusive and inalienable right to publish, copy and transmit their work as they see fit.

In Germany, there stands nothing in the way of all the professors and students simply republishing their work elsewhere and Elsevier could not nothing about it.

What they can't do is publish copies of works that Elsevier has edited (significantly). So if Elsevier contributed to the document then the editor as Elsevier and by proxy Elsevier has the copyright on those parts IF they are significant enough (significant is a huge burden of proof here, spelling mistakes being corrected don't count).
Most mainline Lisps either never did support TCO or only in some restricted way. The reason for that is that it clashes with other widely used language features in typical Lisps. There is a cost to supporting TCO - also a less nice debugging experience. Many CL compilers tend to support it with some restrictions - CL interpreters often not. Lisp Machines did not support it. CL on the JVM does not support it. https://0branch.com/notes/tco-cl.html

I started with Scheme and Lisp (Standard Lisp, ZetaLisp, CL, ...) and wrote/used TCO a lot. I tend to view the use of TCO for basic iteration as a mistake, which makes code harder to read. I tend to like either higher-order iterative constructs or powerful iteration constructs like CL's ITERATE: https://common-lisp.net/project/iterate/

“He told me that my ‘project’ is cute and let’s discuss it in bed.”
Let me further specify my request: provide a documented example of any religion (existing or disappeared) that introduced a new moral value which was not present (and documented) in the society where said religion appeared (absorbed moral value), or in societies with which said society was in contact (imported moral value). No need to go back to prehistoric periods.

This is completely orthogonal to the belief question: that is, you could perfectly believe that Jesus is the son of God, and still you will observe that all moral values introduced by Christianity were already present in the existing society.

Note: actually, to be precise, discussion with believers will always reach a point where rational discussion completely breaks down, since, by definition, humans can not understand the ways of God. At some point I will struggle to understand a situation which says the "wall is black and the wall is white", and a believer will rightly point to me that understanding this is simply over my head, and that I just need to accept it as it is.
I can't find it right now, but there was a nice quote on Wikipedia about AI where they were saying that AI optimism stemmed from underestimating ordinary tasks.

>Economic success requires efficiency in all aspects of a business. A lack of punctuality that permeates a society to the point that it effects business strategy is problematic.

punctuality doesn't necessarily means efficiency. Punctuality itself comes at a cost. Somewhat similar to low latency. Your argument reminds about those Scrum proponents who tout that decreasing the latency and increasing synchronicity - what the Scrum is really about - would miraculously lead to throughput increase. Which it never does, and usually it has quite the opposite effect (exactly as expected from the systems theory and experience)

Several misconceptions.

> And Apple is no better in this regard.

Microsoft approached[1] them to get Krita(and also Inkscape) on the store. Microsoft knew the who and what these software stand for. Comparing it with Apple just doesn't make sense.

> Maybe I misread Krita's situation but I'm not sure why they don't just pull out of the store and sell independently. Plenty of payment processors would be happy to take them on....Pricing is always difficult, but for a product that well known there's almost certainly a tiered system they could set up that generates enough income to keep the lights on (or better).

It's a FOSS product. On the blog, the devs said that Krita is on the MS store because it brings in extra revenue which helps them to continue working on it full-time. They already have payment system setup on their website to take donations. But at its core Krita will always be a FOSS.

The comment you point to seems like an argument that the JVM could be a good environment to the green threads:

> Building a correct highly concurrent scheduler is no easy task

I've been hearing that Java's ForkJoinPool is up to the task, and works well with Java's locking infrastructure.

> now can't have work stealing between your native threads

Indeed that is a concern, but as long as native stack frames make you fall back to regularly preempting an OS thread, the program will run. You're not having the performance boost for this workload, but your program does not crash; and is ready for some refactoring inside greenthread managed execution. This seems to be the current behavior of the Loom prototype.

> Next thing you realize is that you're still spending lots of memory on creating stacks for your green threads

We might be at the point where library writers can choose where to draw the line about stack, where and what to serialize. This is enabled by the delimited continuations.

> is that regular blocking IO (better yet mmaped IO) outperforms what most people are capable of achieving using the non-blocking disk IO facilities.

This calls for it to be managed inside the Standard Library.

----

Another comment down the line talks about a successful implementation in Erlang; with overhead size at 284 bytes. The current prototype has it at 200-240 [1], so this is already a win.

Coupled with the java.util.concurrent and Locks, I think it will go way beyond what Erlang is capable of. Message passing mandates copying and restricts code styles. And on top of that the JIT will bring in efficient CPU usage.

> That just isn't true. It was widely believed through the seventies and eighties that chess inherently required creativity, and a machine could never beat a grandmaster.

Maybe in the 1850s, perhaps the public didn't get the memo? Modern chess has always been a rather procedural affair. There was a time during the Victorian era where Chess was seen as creative but that time was long dead by the 1970s.

Easy answer: distributed consensus, à la Bitcoin.
Finding the signal difference is easy, the nature of PCM means we can just subtract one recording from another.

However human hearing doesn't just import the signal, the initial processing is done during acquisition itself. Psychoacoustic lossy audio encodings like MP3 rely on this, an MP3 sounds to you very much like the original but a naive audiodiff would find huge differences.
Is it worth wasting energy on apps that are technically worse just for political reasons?

For some, maybe. Still, on PCs you can always distribute the native applications outside of the stores.
An alternative explanation for this is that Amazon is struggling with identifying fake reviews, which could explain both why there seem to be many fake reviews and why one would get blocked from writing reviews (basically falling victim to a false positive of their fake review detection).

Obviously there is also some bad UX thrown in for good measure (being able to write a review without being able to send it), but we aren’t necessarily looking at dark patterns here.

This could just be Amazon struggling with and failing at a task (avoiding fake reviews).

Not all bad UX is a dark pattern, sometimes it’s just bad UX … (a dark pattern is bad UX with a positive consequence for the person or company offering up the UI or maybe just and intended positive consequence, even if the UI doesn’t achieve that goal)

I think it’s a stretch to argue that Amazon is really benefiting from any of this and long term this erosion of trust is not at all good for Amazon. I do honestly think that if Amazon could snap with their fingers and remove all fake reviews they would do it. (Which is not to say that Amazon does not employ dark patterns elsewhere.)

As to 1, no, it's neither 'education' nor 'lack of resources' really.

It's a matter of conscientiousness and responsibility. Even if there were no signs immediately available, nobody with an ounce of decency would leave a large hole unmarked. Signs are not expensive, if they're not available it's because of a lack of intelligent and responsible acting somewhere else in in the value chain.

As for #2, it's still a lack of conscientiousness. The students should (at least try) to go to their lecture, that the prof should try to give. Surely, a visit to Brazil warrants a quick hop to the beach at minimum but there's no reason people can't do what they are supposed to do all around.

99% of the world's problems would be solved if we all just acted with very basic levels of conscientiousness and responsibility: show up, do the basic work, think a little bit, be nice, don't be corrupt, try to do good work ... commensurate with increasing levels of responsibility obviously, but 'hole diggers' still need to do their jobs with responsibility and a little bit of pride.

Whilst there may not be a perfect correlation between punctuality and efficiency, I'd suggest that it seems likely punctuality in business is more likely to be efficient than not.

For example if you have 10 people attending a meeting and all must wait till they are present before starting (a very common occurrance) having all 10 people turn up promptly is more efficient than having 1-9 people waiting for the remainder of the attendees to arrive.

pigz doesn't help much with decompression:

Decompression can’t be parallelized, at least not without specially prepared deflate streams for that purpose. As a result, pigz uses a single thread (the main thread) for decompression, but will create three other threads for reading, writing, and check calculation, which can speed up decompression under some circumstances.
What this is missing is that programming is not one job, it is multiple different jobs with different required skillsets and aptitudes.

Making tools and libraries is not necessary that complicated. It is oftentimes simpler then making large business app, because requirements tend to be clearer, more stable and because you can copy design of one of existing editors. It does require knowledge of algorithms that large business app does not require. Being able to make a compiler will not make you succeed in creating good finished web app, whether large or small. Finishing web app does require good grasp of ui and visual design completely irrelevant to compiler coding. Likewise, being good at algorithms, even difficult ones, and being good at maintainable design is not the same.

It is possible for one to be objectively harder in some sense or require more rare aptitude. Nevertheless, these kind of laments tend to rely mostly on "the kind of things I like and are good at are the real tech and everything else is for weaker programmers" attitudes.

The point of CS is not to make you highly skilled in operating systems or languages or even web apps. It is to give you overall idea about those areas to make you able to choose what to focus on and to make you able to learn any of these ideas once you decide.
