Sure, your FM radio would stop working, but that's a small sacrifice to make, to get actual competition in something as important as telecommunications.

Good idea, I was just thinking that I hate how emergency services can talk to each other, and my cellphone works. People are so damned soft, they should have to release a homing pigeon if they want to call 911! Sure, a few people might die and life will be a dark and terrible nightmare of RF interference, radio astronomy will end, and modern civilization will grind to a halt, but that’s a small price to pay for my libertarian wet dream.
The author uses a silly definition of rebel, which nobody realistically uses (precisely because there are no thus-defined "rebels"). As a result, the article is rather inconsequential.
For project-based tutorials/books, which are centred around building a program step-by-step by following a series of human-readable diffs, I think a tool is very much needed.

For https://viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/kilo/02.enteringRawMode... , the code is kept in a git repo where each commit is a step in the tutorial. This way steps can be modified, reordered, or split into more steps using git interactive rebase (git rebase -i).

I'm working on a tool which abstracts away git rebase, and gives you a nicer interface for manipulating the series of steps in your tutorial. For example, you can run `leg 3` to checkout step 3, make edits to it, and then run `leg amend` to apply the changes, resolving conflicts as the changes make their way through the rest of the tutorial's steps.

The tool is still in very early development, but here's a quick tutorial to get a better idea of how it works: https://github.com/snaptoken/leg/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md

Also, I'm playing around with a "literate diff" file format that might be of interest: https://github.com/snaptoken/tgc-tutorial/blob/master/doc/02...

Those tend to be pretty markup heavy, which can be annoying and distracting when actually cranking out prose.

Markdown is limited, but it's very lightweight and doesn't break your flow. It's a piece of cake to type a couple of "*" when you want to italicize something.

Also, the limitations are a benefit because they keep you from getting distracted by the hundred different ways you could structure or format a paragraph.

Ya that's what I thought too, but I heard a few people say gracchiae and just followed the leader, wondering why the name turned feminine. You think gracchiae could be referring to the whole lineage or something?
Oh I see, thanks for pointing it out! Hasn't it been introduced though? I'm not really a U.S. law expert, so I have trouble understanding. Isn't this the bill? (https://www.sanders.senate.gov/download/stop-bezos-act-2018?...)
Please stay out of the passing lane!
I'd be fine with this if schools taught computer science like art. Essentially a place to build and make cool shit. Unfortunately, I could see it becoming more like how schools teach math, a bunch of rote steps that only a fraction of the class likes because they're good at it. Don't get me wrong, I like math, but most schools are unable to understand the creative, problem solving aspect of mathematics.

I was fortunate enough to go to a high school that had an amazing computer science curriculum (8 semesters worth of classes). One really intelligent decision the department made was to not just mimic a college curriculum. After all, why teach something kids will learn a few years later? Instead, they mixed in some offbeat courses. They had a software development course that taught Python and basic web dev. They had a graphics course where you built a graphics engine. They even had an intro course with Racket. It's unlikely other schools will be able to replicate this exactly, but I like the concept of fun over "usefulness".
I'm fine with taxing people to help the least well off.

I just think that responsibility should fall equally on all of us and not, as this bill does, single out particular kinds of businesses over other types of businesses.
Back in the late 80s, my high school had a decent number of programming courses which touched on logic, sorting algorithms, and so forth. But the most interesting course was with the Pascal teacher who also taught computer literacy 101. This teacher offered everyone who came to his computer club generous extra points. So he was able to fashion a very popular computer club with all the jocks/cheerleaders in attendance. Then [no joke] he would have us practice our social skills in talking to girls, etc while filming it on a video camera and playback on a projection TV for the group to critique.... Fun times!
Why is your disappointment in Sanders? Do you not remember the momentum he generated in 2016? Shouldn't your disappointment be directed at his peers?
> Furthermore, huge funding means investors are looking for a huge returns. A $1b sale is now failure?? My gut says this "go big or go bankrupt" pressure encourages tunnel vision among leadership rather than innovation.

If you don't take the money, they will go to your competitor, and give it to them instead.

It doesn't matter if Uber's popularity is a 'real' moat or not, as long as its a moat big enough to drown you.

Sure, a few years later, said competitor will make an announcement on their website about the conclusion of their 'magical journey', but that's not going to matter to you, is it?
This bill is being put forth because conservative and moderate democratic politicians won't raise the minimum wage, and this is one of the few hammers Sanders has available to him.

I do wish creators of these tools would search for existing names to see if they are already in use. I would not mind if they were tools with sufficiently different purpose. But this just confuses users (and potential users) of either one.
I remember living under communism (the logical end-road of your "social democracy"). The state would decide how many products to build and what kind. In the end we didn’t have any toilet paper so we wiped our asses with cultural newspapers. It was ok, because we didn’t have any food either...
You can't have your cake and eat it too: either you want sovereignty, or you want to be part of a bigger system in which you cannot always get your way. This happens at EU level, at country level, at regional level, at city level, and a district level. It is part of how societies work.

But more specifically, what I was arguing is that these kinds of decisions are not why people want to leave (sannee's point above). People want to leave due to poor people not having had adequate political representation for a long time, thus begetting populism when the financial crisis hit us. Not because of TV rules being agreed with other countries (sorry for the strawman, but it makes the point).

But will you leave others the choice to watch what they want?
I don't have to know the cost of living. But I can make a salary offer, and if they accept it, I can assume it's good for them. At the same time, I am always aware of the cost of living in an area, because I want to make sure my employees are comfortable and not encumbered by worrying about where their next meal is coming from. It isn't good for productivity.

In other words, salaries are set by supply and demand in that market, not by the arbitrary value that one might assign to a specific job.

So I should feel bad for paying employees above market rate in their area and giving them a better life than they could ever get by getting a local job? Sorry, not going to happen (me feeling bad about it, that is).

Do you think everyone should pay San Francisco salaries to developers no matter where in the world they live? Seems absurd.

> I don't understand. Do the Dutch hate their own programmes? Why would they bother making shows they don't want to watch?

Same reason any culture creates art, by choice. Not all art has to be accepted (or forced) and many times the value to its creator and/or a small subset of patrons is enough to justify it.

>> if your culture is so great France and Germany you wouldn't need these subsidies. Netflix is not a public broadcaster.

> I'm not sure they need them, just that it helps promote it

I added more context to the original quote. I assume the original poster didn't mean "subsidies" as financial assistance, but instead misused the word to mean restrictions on foreign content. I think most agree grants for the arts have value due to some forms of art being unsustainable on their own.
> and this is a politician announcing that he will introduce a bill.

While technically true at the time the linked summary was written, the bill has in fact been introduced and this is a summary of it as well a statement that it will be introduced.

Whether or not it is “evidence of some interesting new phenomenon” is, I would agree, debatable.

Well, really this bill is being put forth as a political maneuver to help Sanders get votes in an upcoming presidential primary and perhaps slightly move the overton window on discussion of this topic. There is a zero percent chance that this bill will become law.

That being said, I'm generally against the minimum wage for the same reason(1) (in a way this bill is a de-facto minimum wage increase from the perspective of employers). Wal-Mart shareholders shouldn't have a greater responsibility to pay for the social safety net than Google shareholders.

1. Though to be clear I think this bill is much worse due to the complexity of the implementation. At least a minimum wage is simple.
There is only one explanation for the resistance up to hostility I see against sound advice--willful ignorance. People are so emotionally dependent on food for a feeling of success, happiness and reward that their mind responds to any threats like that of an addict threatened with supply interruption.

It's crazy to me how hard it is to switch to a view of food as fuel instead of as a reward. People who readily eat the worst foods on earth would never think of putting bad fuel in their car.

With that backdrop, all the food industry needs to do is sew the tiniest amount of confusion and that lets everyone do whatever they want, because "who knows for sure!?!?"

There is so much money in the entrenched parties. The animal ag (which promotes high fat diets), the snack industry (which promotes refined fats and carbs). But then the animal ag and snack industries both want cheap corn and soy produced en masse, one to feed to animals, and the other to put into snack foods.

One of the few camps that doesn’t have huge lobbying power is organic whole foods or sustainable plant-based foods.

Where did you acquire the idea that "book" only refers to long-form fiction?

Every dictionary I just consulted considers the primary definition to be the physical artifact: pages bound together. Some have secondary definitions that refer to any long written work. I found none that excluded non-fiction texts from it.

Are you claiming that phone books are not books? Recipe books are not books? Have you ever once heard a human say, "Look up their number in the phone text?"

Dunno, having an actor to oversee the behavior of telecoms would be an advantage, not the opposite.

In our neighborhood, we're waiting on Spectrum to finish their infrastructure install. We were initially in talks with AT&T to come in too, but they backed out when we couldn't do community agreements (beyond easement) again and we wouldn't agree to them using the existing infrastructure (which was terrible) from the previous provider below. No other provider, asides from HughesNet, is willing to come in now that there is a non-exclusive agreement with Spectrum for easement access. Moral of the story, companies aren't going to act with consumers' interests at heart. Didn't Charter or someone have some agreement where part of some merger approval required that they built out into rural areas? A requirement they didn't comply with?

The provider we had before was absolutely terrible with $90/month spent on a basic DishTV package + 3Mbps internet. They had an exclusive easement, but due to constant outages because the infrastructure couldn't support the community, we were able to finally get out of it after 6 years and lots of lawyer involvement. FCC wouldn't get involved, but having the government take a more active oversight role would be a good thing, in my experience.

Shipping is a feature. Your product must have it.

That recursively applies to each tool used to make the product as well.
From the article:

"But, most importantly, the code is also duplicated: one version lives in a Markdown file and one (or more) lives in the code folder that comes with the book. If I want to update a snippet of code presented in the book, I have to manually update every copy of it. Yes, cumbersome."

I had a similar problem in writing a book about gnuplot: keeping code samples, code in the text, and the generated plots synchronized. I decided doing it manually was too tedious and error-prone, so I wrote some Pandoc filters to do it for me: https://lee-phillips.org/panflute-gnuplot/
Yes! That was exactly my point. It works great for non-creative tasks, but can impact creativity and problem solving skills significantly, without you noticing.

> You can't have your cake and eat it too: either you want sovereignty, or you want to be part of a bigger system in which you cannot always get your way.

I'm not sure that's true. I think the EU, as a non-political economic union gives you that cake. It's the political side keeping you from eating it. I think there are many financial policies that can be properly disentangled from political beliefs and the ones that can't should be deferred.

TV rules are a microcosm of the real issue: a political union making political decisions when some of its less influential members would prefer such not-purely-economical decisions be delegated. (at least this is what it looks like from the outside)

But you don't know this person's history or current state! You are just assuming it is mere labelling.

You're also assuming that if someone says they are mentally broken they are taking a victim mindset. If someone says they have 20 broken bones and cannot walk is that taking a victim mindset, or might it just be an objectively description independent of their mindset?

Just because everyone has issues does not mean that everyone has the same magnitude of issues. Some people really do have it far worse than others.
Speculative execution probably plays a large role in that. I think this is more of an average that you can expect to see. Additionally, if eager execution is not at play, if a mispredict is triggered when data is finally fetched from main memory, the 5ns (handful of cycles) might just be the cost of unwinding, meaning the actual cost was 105ns.

> India never had that American influence problem because it's a much more insular culture, and had many illiterate people in the near past, who wanted to just relax with a movie that shows people in their likeness and plays some nice local songs

This is a pretty ridiculous and off-the-mark assertion about both the nature of Bollywood cinema and its popularity within India.

Also completely wrong. Corporations retain the rights of the persons that comprise them, both in the US and in Europe. In some European countries, this is literally written into the constitution.

There was also a separate email offer to lower my monthly fee for home internet connection if I agreed to allow them to inject their own advertising in my network traffic.

The problem with all of that, is how do I know they are not doing it anyways? I don't trust these ISPs any further than I can throw them.
"Retraining" is a reassuring little myth.

While it's possible that some manual warehouse workers have the capacity to "retrain" to a more skilled job, the reality is that there are more than enough incentives for them to have done so already: pay, benefits, job security, status, etc.

Those who chose minimal-wage, no-benefits work in terrible conditions over much better skilled work have done so because they are either strongly deterred by the nature of skilled work or lack the capacity for it.

So the problem isn't "retraining". The problem is that the percentage of humanity that can be replaced by machines of superior intelligence is increasing.
