Here's something maybe productive to take away from this kibitzing thread:

Consider this code and the range of comments on it while doing (or undergoing) your next non-trivial code review.

(For one thing, it reminds me that a great value of adopting comprehensive code standards is that it resolves these kinds arguments, letting teams get on with the important stuff.)
There's minimal optimization (as in tricks), but lots of optimization (as in readability and common sense).

It's also incredibly readable; I'm puzzled as to what the bar for "readability" is if this doesn't meet it.

Back then at my school the state offered CS training for mathematics teachers who wanted to broaden their horizon. They were supposed to pass their knowledge on to other teachers who were interested. This worked well, but it helps if your teachers aren't all low-achievers.
Wow. I didn’t believe at first but then looked it up. It is real and it is shocking.

Following up on your point, NYT really swings-and-misses here. (I suppose they could also be engaging in gaslighting or dog-whistling ...)

> Ordinary Americans — including President Trump’s former lawyer, Michael D. Cohen — are also increasingly using encrypted apps to conduct delicate conversations to prevent monitoring by the government or others.

"Ordinary Americans" are not only using "encrypted apps" to conduct "delicate conversations." People, regardless of jurisdiction, are using these applications because they expect that their private conversations are and will remain private -- especially in a world where digital interactions are replacing/will continue to replace face-to-face interactions.

If I have a conversation with someone over coffee at my kitchen table, I wouldn't (necessarily) consider that conversation to be "delicate." Regardless, I wouldn't want any person or government entity to be able to listen in -- surveillance inhibits freedom of expression and the results are often without context.
The point is that copying or hosting the font shouldn't be what is copyrightable. It should be use. Most commonly used fonts should be pre-installed. Only for the very weird situations should the browser resort to downloading the font and, in my opinion, should do it in a way that is not trackable.

The way we currently download third-party fonts exposes the content that we're viewing to the font hoster. That's really stupid. If we need to download from a third party it shouldn't be in the same browser context. I.e., the party shouldn't be able to execute arbitrary JS or see the document Origin.
The constant fear is that if you did that, you would then need to be licensed before you can create software, with a formal education structure and possibly limitations on how many software engineers could be educated in a year like with doctors. This would also likely bring down heavy regulatory structures onto the profession, where a programmer could be "disbarred" or have their license revoked if they wrote bad code, or would have to get malpractice insurance in case their code hurt someone or cost companies extra money. There are arguments in favor of a software engineering license, but there are arguments against it as well.

I work in the information security industry and there are constant talks about making a "security license". Some places actually required security engineers be licensed as private detectives. In a career where there is a critical lack of good applicants to fill the immense number of jobs, this is devastating to any efforts to try to fill the open security positions.

No it is not fair or reasonable. If I get a certain plan I should be able to utilize it to the full extent. If a company is incapable of providing the service they should not sell that service plan.
> So the move — which will probably draw loud and hair-raising screams from U.S. commentators — is, nonetheless, A Good Thing.

I'm in EU. A Good Thing is letting me watch whatever the fuck I want. It's a real dystopia if the state decides which movies you should or shouldn't watch.
So if the motivations are financial, then it isn't mob justice. It's just financial reasons. If they put on 22 minutes of someone taking a shit, people wouldn't watch that either. It would also get pulled. That's not mob justice.

Also, I started with financial reasons then said that even after those, there are reasons things get pulled that aren't financial. And no decision exists in a vacuum. New studio head, expect cancellations of shows that are otherwise doing well. Expect shows that were about to be in production get scrapped for the new head's pet project. To say that everything is purely financial is not only ignoring that people are not rational actors, but undercuts your point about mob justice.

Or makes everything mob justice. Taco Bell removes your favorite item due to poor sales: mob justice.

You are also saying that ABC was both driven by emotional motives and that it was solely a financial move. It can't be both.

And yes, people can be fallible. Sometimes they need a stern reprimand in order to reform. And when several of those stern reprimands don't work and you continue tweeting crazy conspiracy theories and borderline racist things, you get fired.

It's funny that you believe the Barr thing was a single, isolated incident. Just say what you want to say: That you're glad that that leftist cuck got fired because fuck PC culture.

Perhaps I should rephrase my question and overall context, I think. I'm a developer with about 15+ years of experience. At the time I used to earn about $110K in a no tax state. What incentive would be there for someone like me to switch jobs unless they the pay is more than what I earn? I certainly don't mind taking a cut in my pay temporarily. But say within a year I expect to be making much more than what I currently earn.
Now while I agree with you that $150 may seem generous for an entry level position, a seasoned developer starting at an entry level crypto position already know a fair number of things that will help him significantly in his crypto job, and cannot be quite considered entry level.
If I remember correctly, in France, if you work like in a mall or a basement you are allowed extra days off ("Jours soleil").
Views: Last chance to see, by Douglas Adams.

Not only does he talk about Animals the average human never gets to see, it's also full of weird insights because of his often rather unique perspective on things. Plus, it's Adams, so it's very entertaining.
The irony being that most of what they do to prevent it is actually more likely to encourage it.
I'd consider it fairly similar to the distinction between Java and the JVM, yes, in that the JVM technically has more power than the Java language exposes. There's multiple levels, with different powers.

You're not going to be able to draw a sharp line here where Go is somehow on one side of it and most other languages aren't. In a sense the entire point of a "language" in the first place is to provide various bits of "magic" to make your life easier. For instance, you can't implement your own exceptions system, because the compiler hooks in at a deeper level than you can get to. (In both cases you can probably do it via what are technically platform-specific hacks, but I wouldn't say that you've implemented it in the language.) The only language with "no magic" is pure assembler, with either no macros or at least no predefined macros.

We are actively working very hard on this! Unfortunately it’s the typical tech story — the system that worked well over 10 years ago isn’t working as well today and it’s a big project to replace it.

Protectionism is bad in all its forms. Content providers want to capture the local market and should include local productions -- if that's what the subscribers want. Mandating a quota is backwards.

If a state wants to sponsor work and make it available at low costs I'm sure content services would jump to provide it.

All this does is either increase cost or reduce available selection in the affected markets. If the subscribers don't want the content they shouldn't be forced to pay for it. I live in Austria and do not want to have my selection reduced or more Austrian content.

Countries should try to compete on the global market place -- entertainment is one area where good content easily jumps borders.

You could reach a happy medium if everything was well commented. Introduce a build step to strip comments if you have to. But you would get maintainability while still having full visibility into all the code that is executing.
the market just matches providers with consumers. Netflix and other providers respond to demand - if they aren't showing the content you want, it's likely that (given any reasonable level of demand) someone else will be. Forcing providers to produce content with less demand is purely ideological because if the demand were high, they would already be producing content to match it. Which they do. What the EU is trying to do is coercively transfer wealth from Netflix to their member states, which I consider to be unethical.

While I am a privacy advocate in most aspects

I guess you are answering your own question.

Whether our data is going to an evil dictator or a saint is not the first question. The first question is, do we know where it is going? Were we explicitly told, did we knowingly and willingly give permission (not tricked, as a footnote in 8 point font in a 50 page terms and conditions agreement) to use our data - that should be our first question. If that is not satisfactorily answered (not just this case), then the rest of the questions don't matter as much.

Even if the data collector's intentions are 100% pure (it never is) and it is used for the good of humanity (it never is) etc etc, it is still extremely offensive to take someone's most intimate data without them knowing and explicitly authorizing to do so. Even after that, there should be periodic independent audits just to make sure the data collectors hold their end of the bargain.

An article about Facebook talked about an internal culture that was zealous about the idea of connecting all humans.

Who asked for that? Think about it for your personal life. Do you want every other human to have access to your eyeballs, even just briefly or by accident?

> The proposals will require that streaming services give over at least 30% of their on-demand catalogues to original productions made in each EU country where a service is provided (individual EU Member States could choose to set the content bar even higher, at 40%)

30% for each country seems really high to me. As usual for regulation, there will likely be high unintended consequences. While in the US and elsewhere there will be thousands of movies available, if Netflix can only get the rights to 90 Belgian films, they aren't going to pay through the nose to create or purchase many more movies. They will just trim down the available movies in Belgium to 300. After all, no competition will be able to do any better.

Worst case scenario, someone may corner the market on digital rights to some country's movies, then they will be the only ones that can provide any sort of streaming service. That country will only have access to an expensive service with a limited selection.

In those cases, the locals will just continue to pirate movies as the only way to reasonable access them online, and the local film industry will be no better off than before as their consumers will be accustomed to getting their movies for free.

Imagine if every state in the US did this, what Netflix would look like. 30% of movies in Indiana need to be created in Indiana. Netflix would suck, ha.

I like what this guy did, talking about native methods. However it's too flexible for me, I prefer to have the most minimal functionality in order to ensure consistency in my code. But maybe that's just me. If the library opens up too many possibilities, then I have both the "problem of choice" when writing code, and also it's more difficult to refactor down the line if you want to change lib. Whereas using your own super simple solution (as long as it's sufficient), you can also do a simple abstract layer when including some vendor API.

It's hard to watch a movie that never gets produced.

Let's not pretend there aren't strong tendencies towards centralization and homogenization in media. (That we could, most charitably, ascribe to efficiency and risk management)

On the other side, yes, protectionism leads to a lot of otherwise unmarketable things being produced (looking at you, France).

But balance doesn't seem like too much to ask. Because Hollywood is doing fuck all for diversity.

How can this work in practice? Can the 30% be from any EU country?

I'm Irish, we don't produce that much stuff. If it has to represent 30% of the catalogue, that catalogue is going to have to shrink massively.
I see this judging Magic: the Gathering a lot. Players will sit there staring at their hand, mulling over various options, all of them bad.

Nope. All your choices are bad. Make a play.

Please elaborate how.
The 30% quota is ridiculous. What this will lead to is either providers shutting down the service for that country or just buy the cheapest, most available content they can get from some indie movie publishers and pushing it in one carousel on their site. This will not lead to bigger local productions or a bigger support for local film makers...

"as far as possible"...

I wonder how that is interpreted? Does that exclude buildings older than the code? Does it prevent new buildings from being constructed without these features? It would always be "possible" if enough money was spent on it (and you ignore other considerations, like historical values)...
One problem facing insurance companies is the asymmetric information between buyer and seller. Should we be able to keep our age secret when buying life insurance? How about sex or weight?

My teenage son is in all likelihood a less safe driver than the average teenage woman, should a woman pay the same for her insurance as the generally more reckless man?

With regard to our health information, should we be keeping information from our insurance companies? Would it be right to lie about it? If not then should we hiding it. It seems that in this case we are taking advantage of others that will inevitable have to pay higher premiums to cover costs of those that are less honest about their health.

I bought a house recently. The owner didn’t disclose a crack in the slab. They had covered it with a recent floor covering that fooled both me and the inspector. Is that okay? Isn’t this similar to trying to keep a life insuance company from realizing that one has a significant risk say of a heart attack?

I don’t like companies collecting data on me, so if Fitbit does this I would hope that there was a way to opt out; nevertheless, I feel that we shouldn’t expect private insurance companies to charge us all the same. This leaves many people in circumstances where insuance would be unobtainable—a big problem where government could play an important role in a just solution.
