There is a lot that I like about Smalltalk. I think one of the most interesting ideas is that everything in the environment is written in the same language; that it's easy to use code from an installed package when you write your own code. I also like the idea that it provides its own GUI environment and IDE, making it easy to interact with and change the way things work.

I don't see myself spending more time working with Smalltalk, as it stands today. It's single threaded, which is fine for a lot of tasks but is (in my opinion) a poor fit for a GUI environment. Having looked around at projects like Pharo, it looks like the Smalltalk community may be moving away from the idea of Smalltalk presenting the whole environment for the end-user, instead providing one application (often one that presents no UI, i.e. a web application).

From a personal standpoint, I would be very interested in a Smalltalk-like environment that I could use to develop my own software and, hopefully, use to replace a lot of the smaller bits and pieces I use to get my work done. Perhaps it could provide an IDE that I could also use to replace Emacs (which I also use for mail) and an IRC/chat client I could use to replace Weechat (which I also use for Slack, Google Talk and Facebook Messenger).

I don't feel a great affinity for many of the tools I use daily (email, chat, calendar, etc.), in part because they are not easy for me to alter or improve. It's funny: Emacs is clunky and weird, but I stick with it because it's easy for me to add or change the way it works.

I wonder if a Smalltalk implementation that revolved around objects implemented as actors passing messages (as opposed to the direct calling of methods that we have today) would be more amenable to multi-threading, yet still retain the simplicity that Smalltalk enjoys today.
Both my wife and I grew up quite poor (for US standards). We didn’t quite fit in at university and had a hard time relating to our peers who grew up with money (my wife’s parents encouraged her to not go to school but just stay and marry local).

We’re doing well for ourselves, but still don’t really fit in among our peers. We’ve coined a phrase for it: “your poverty is showing.”

It doesn’t matter how much I make: at the core I’m still a poor kid in a rich world. Which I’m fine with; it’s what gives me drive. But I do worry about my kids who are growing up like the rich kids I never liked...

> Not really, I ignored most of that 3rd book technobabble because it was unphysical

I think this is the basis of our debate. I can totally understand why many people did not like the series. The author at times drags the reader through multiple chapters of details that feel as though they have nothing to do with the story. They don't even feel like world building. Honestly, I had a really hard time with some of those myself. Especially the first few chapters of books 2 and 3. However, in the end all those asides really matter to wrapping up the story. Is that good storytelling? I don't know. I rather enjoyed it though :)

But yeah, the last 25% of the final book is full of technobabble, but that babble is pretty important to wrapping up the story and understanding the motivation of each civilization.

Which Sci-Fi book or series of books would you say are the best?
I think it's clear that alcohol consumption is a burden on society, but I think the headline exaggerates matters a bit. The relative risk is only 0.5% greater at one standard drink per day, relative to no alcohol consumption (see figure 5 in the paper.)

I am doubtful of the study methods but not my field I will have to read again, I am commenting because I endure complete days stuck in miasma recollection of decades past thst was obliterated from my memory until further trauma unlocked it. I believe there's something to the headline conclusion, from my own experience. When i am not knocked to bits by the assailing memories, I find increasingly i can modify my way of thinking and experiencing daily existence (life is a abstract i think i glimpse like a mitafe, occasionally) and i have not only found this a profound new agility, but become increasingly adept at appreciating the people i meet who also have experienced varying degrees of trauma, whom I fibd I can get myself on a wavelength with almost now with minimal or no consciouss effort. Although inevitably some people will unburden the most excruciatingly self serving nastiness, I have found that people are open to me who i wouldn't before have been able to get a conversation with wherein the they are personally able to communicate insights and i can hold in pattern and positively nidge and steer back to where they​digressed due to the upsets subject of their talk, with no notable friction which existed distinctly.. this change, the latest of years of considerable cognitive adjustments i have been through, happened since a breakdown just two weeks ago. For my anecdotal life, therefore, I am willing to give this some credence.

The problem with enterprise software, such as data management software, where this clause is most often used, is that it doesn't come with an EULA, but with a full blown contract negotiated between the software manufacturer and the client.

Such contracts can run into dozens of pages and can be very specific.

It usually contains clauses specifying precisely what the customer is allowed to do with the software and what not.

A good example would be SAP, who sued Diageo for using the software in a way, which was not licensed. A court awarded the software provider north of 50'000'000 £ for allowing indirect access to the software[1]

If you think you're better off by using Oracle I have a license to sell you, but I digress.

Since those are full blown contracts negotiated between professional entities it's a quite safe bet that they are upheld by the courts.

I found an submitted a bug once through bugcrowd to a very well known company where a session cookie could be used for complete account takeover even after the user had signed out etc. I was blown away when I got the "duplicate" response for a submission that was almost a year old.

My point is about helping sick people. Some of them are dangerous and should get extra attention for that reason. Many are just too sick to pay bills, show up to work reliably, get hired, etc. The government could decriminalize lots of things, but it's hard to show that someone is a danger to themselves if the government refuses to keep certain kinds of records for reasons of privacy and compassion.
I ran Windows 95 under 8MB and let me tell you, that was far from sufficient! There was a RAM shortage back in those days so getting the second 8MB SIMM was a fairly expensive proposition for a teenager. Also on a 85Mb hard drive too don’t get me started ...

> she suggests that poor mothers lose their privacy altogether if they accept public assistance,

I'm not sure about the altogether part, but if I don't want people to know how much money I have, going to the government and saying "I need money from other people because I'm not capable of providing for myself and my kids" is kind of the start of a process of telling people about your life in exchange for getting money from other people.

The article makes some good points on bail and fines, but the idea that getting other people to pay for your living expenses should somehow be possible without giving up up any information about yourself is pretty silly.

A brilliant excerpt from the end of the bbc article[0]:

Yet Prof David Spiegelhalter, Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge, sounded a note of caution about the findings.

"Given the pleasure presumably associated with moderate drinking, claiming there is no 'safe' level does not seem an argument for abstention," he said.

"There is no safe level of driving, but the government does not recommend that people avoid driving.

"Come to think of it, there is no safe level of living, but nobody would recommend abstention."

This guy got down voted just because people felt insulted. Yes there is not much prose to his words but he is sort of right. Any attempt to care for your fellow human is branded as 'communism' or 'against the american way'. Especially when you elect a president (or two) that literally say that.

Articles like this tend to leave it at “your risk of death increases” without providing any sense as to what the magnitude of the increase is - without that its impossible to just the benefit-risk tradeoff.

A major pet peeve of mine.
The first thing we do when we get to an AirBNB is wash the linens. I'd never rent a place without a washer and dryer for this reason.
A lower level court judge can make a ruling, like finding a $250 fine for a poor person cruel, that stands, because it's not a SCOTUS issue. The death penatly sure, and the legality of it has already been decided in the U.S., and is usually for serious crimes. But for low-level offenses, the likes of which are rarely — or basically never — brought before SCOTUS or higher level courts, a judge can rule in any way he sees fair, as that's his job.
It's not something you can solve. People want single apps because having to switch across multiple services and multiple accounts (and pay multiple $$$) and remembering what shows are on what services is a piss poor user experience.
That's not quite how it works. The lower court would be expected to uphold SCOTUS's rulings, though there is some wiggle room.

The main way things get before SCOTUS is through the parties appealing the lower court decisions and then SCOTUS deciding to hear it.
Yeah, I think underneath it all, one of my points is that whether or not I'm being governed according to my wishes isn't really a function of democracy. A lot of people live in authoritarian societies where they quite agree with the main thrust of the government.

As an aside on the Hillary thing... something that frustrates me as a Democrat is that we're supposed to be the party of learning and evolving, but then we punish people for opinions held and mistakes made decades ago. I want our candidates to evolve. I've certainly evolved.

Maybe the "smartphone" format is played out for now. New innovation may need to come from a new or emerging industry.

Following price and size trends, the next industry would be making a device ~1/50th the size of a "smartphone". Something like the size of a large SD card, probably.
Without a doubt.

I really really wish Elon would exit from Tesla and just concentrate on SpaceX. Well, after taking at least six months sabbatical where he is not allowed to do anything but sleep, hang out, watch movies, and read/write. SpaceX is the more important of the two companies. He is obviously stretched way too thin.

Tesla also probably doesn't need him. It needs a process and management person, not a reckless visionary. It needs someone who breathes lean six sigma and knows how to manage a giant high-tech manufacturing operation. Poach a high level executive from a top performing division of GE Aircraft Engines or something.

Recently my partner had a strap break on her Birks that were only 3 months old. Knowing the age and reputation of the brand, i assumed this would be an easy fix. She emailed them, but got an unexpected response of effectively “bad luck”. They actually suggested we return them to the retailer, but she bought them on vacation, so that’s not possible in this case. Despite explaining that, they didn’t seem to care, in fact, they simply stopped responding to her replies. Needless to say, we are done with the brand now.
If you're correct, I'm not looking forward to my 30s. (I'm 29)

I haven't read the study, but going by the reporting, they are conflating different statistics, those of the direct health impact of alcohol, and those of the 'behavioral' impact (which may then have health effects).

No doubt there is an increased risk of death, due to alcohol, through drunk-driving (either as perp or victim), street violence and so on.

But many of those problems stem from a small percentage of people, or the small percentage of occasions, when it is consumed in excess.

I think what people want to know are the direct health risks of alcohol, in various amounts.
I wouldn't say it needs an editor. It is dense! Very dense. I started the book 20 times. I would go from page one till I got stuck and then go back and see what I missed. Took forever to get through it but it was the best thing I have gone through learning anything in computer science.
In the US, bail is used to make sure people show up for their court date. How does this work in the UK?
Those are health risks of alcohol. People need to know all cause mortality.

In my (American) experience, few governments show any sign of wanting to address mental health in a serious way. They seem to care more about appearing to address mental health than actually getting anything done. It's easy to end up with bullshit like "resilience training" for schoolchildren when there's a critical shortage of psychiatrists and hospital beds.
Fog Creek Sells Manuscript (formerly FogBugz)
A lot of "able bodied" people in many countries simply cannot afford to take time off to go to some party in the desert. They don't have the money, they have problems, their jobs can easily be lost, they have families (maybe spouses or kids who do NOT want to go to the desert).

Plenty of real-world reasons to be able-bodied and NOT being able to attend some desert party on a whim.

I like the idea, but isn't the problem the fact that more tech isn't "disabled-friendly" anyway? Wouldn't it be technically illegal to discriminate against disabled without a bona fide reason?

As far as the site itself goes - hey, go for it! But it should have a mission statement, some kind of FAQ or explanation of why that should be used instead of other sites, and more information on the kinds of disabilities being catered to in a posting (or why a job is particularly considerate of disabilities).

> From Milton Friedman: "Most economic fallacies derive from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another."

This is actually literally true. There universe's resources are finite. Economic growth comes at the expense of natural resources. Any situation where both parties of an economic transaction appear to benefit, there's a negative externality consuming natural resources making us all marginally poorer.

That said, Friedman's statement is still a useful fiction since "marginally poorer" sometimes is inevitable.

Edit: the reply to mine was flagged and removed it seems, but there's one commonly misunderstood belief that I think is worth addressing:

> When humans had no technology or knowledge of agriculture, this may have been correct to some degree, but we are constantly decreasing the size of the population who create value from the extraction and sale of "natural resources"

Any and all value generation requires energy which necessarily comes from natural resources. We have a whole universe full of raw materials and energy, possibly more than we can conceivably work with for the lifetime of the human race, but it's still literally true that this is ultimately a zero-sum game. The externalities are simply hidden.

Who said anything about bugs? The point is to do something proactive to stop apps that don't conform to your policies (whichever they may be - maybe you don't allow collection of data, or using a specific interface, definitely not malware, etc.) instead of just reacting, and even that too late.

Apple is at one extreme blocking even legitimate things for obscure and esoteric reasons. Google is at the other, letting all kinds of crap in the store only to review it later, maybe. [1]

I live in a high tourist area during the summer months (late May through early September). The police in our town are fairly strict, but extremely fair, when it comes to enforcing laws. However, there are certain tickets (i.e. speeding) where a significant portion of the revenue from the fine goes to the state. This is the case regardless of whether the infraction occurs on a "state maintained" or "town maintained" road. On the other hand, there are other types of tickets (i.e. parking violations) where 100% of the revenue goes directly to the town. What happens is that during the summer months (more tourists) tickets with a higher value to the town tend to get receive more enforcement time compared to tickets with a lower value to the town.
Well technically Racket is a Programming Language for making Programming Languages. So you are making a subset language from Racket.
I found that when I was manually updating documentation I could never keep it perfectly in sync with the code. Now in my open source app the documentation is fully automated and generated as a part of the build process. The interactive documentation covers the app's use in a browser, command line, and static documentation is various formats.
Sadly, it's not that surprising.
More than half of the U.S. states have less than 5 million population. Moving violations and traffic tickets are usually administered on a state, county or local level. These aren't federal crimes, so it makes sense for each state to have their own unique system, as they often do.

In fact, as I write this it seems obvious that this system could be implemented without too much trouble in at least on U.S. state. Why wouldn't they jump at the additional revenue?
