As a native Singaporean, I do believe my "exposure" to Singapore society and culture is far deeper than yours so I can counter your points with a certain degree of confidence. I also want to disclaim upfront that I left Singapore a few years ago because I do not like it there, but just because I do not like it does not mean I disagree with the policies that led to our first-world economy.

"Needless segregation" - like another poster replied... "needless"? Can you explain what you mean by needless? Have you ever compared our academic achievements with the same aged counterparts from other highly developed countries including US? If it's "needless", how come we are academically so far superior? What is needless about it?

"Singaporeans..... quickly binge on drugs and alcohol" LOL. as opposed to.... what? Americans who reads books in the dorm rooms? Europeans who sip tea and chat about politics? I've attended 3 different schools in Canada and US, and rarely have I ever seen Singaporeans outdrink and outparty the really wild and affluent Eastern Europeans (Russians, Bulgarians, etc) and even the Americans themselves. Are there SOME singaporeans who party hard? Of course, but your comment is just ridiculous sensationalism.

"They are happy to prevent the Malays from becoming successful" This is the most laughable of your statements. Trust me when I tell you, we did nothing to oppress them. We gave them free education up to university, which is not offered to the Chinese citizens, and yet they remain in the lower rungs of society. Go read Lee Kuan Yew's statements on Malays and you'll read about it from someone far more articulate than me. Wanna know an interesting fact? Even in their native country Malaysia, the rich and powerful are still the Chinese. Can you explain that?
> Peace, in the NT, is always interpersonal

Yes. And the NT concept of peace is primarily expressed in reconciliation between God and his people. As Romans 5 puts it, "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand."
of course, but my interpretation of OP's comment was that they went into a purchase with the intent of defaulting. To me, that's fraudulent - IANAL but that would seem to be legally fraud too. It's really no different from chargeback scams.
Considering that one of the largest and most prominent Rust projects (Servo) is a browser, that is obviously not an insurmountable problem.

But it is kind of intuitive anyway. ETFs are becoming significant in volumes, so when net volumes buy or sell them, they force the sponsor to buy/sell the whole market reducing price discrimination. To have any price setting power you need large volumes.
Well, are you ever going to provide a better way to deal with 10+ servers? The left-side server UI is terrible. The icons aren't enough to figure out which server is what and it desperately needs some form of sorting or categorizing (being able to create custom groups of servers, for example per game or any arbitrary list of servers). I end up continuously pruning my list so I don't have more than 10 because it's so bad.

WoW alone forces me to have 1 server per class, then 1 server for every guild I'm associated with. Forget about any other game.
I think that's way too specific. Go lacks generics principally, AFAIU, because the designers had very specific notions about the complexity of the compiler and how that fit into the overall picture.

It true that there's an argument that says you often get more dividends for your effort wrestling with larger architecture and design than about, e.g., how easily you can write (or reuse) a binary tree implementation. A library won't help you implement the binary tree implementation for accessing a filesystem's on-disk data structures, for example. The value of some of the most beneficial use cases is often precluded to generic implementations. I think that reality played into why they discounted the value of generics, making them a low priority, but it's subtle and complex.

Generics (and meta programming more generally) cut both ways in terms of cost and benefit, at least when you think more holistically, and especially when you think about the complexity of the language and language implementation. It's a complex topic. There's no right answer, at least no right answer without a careful accounting of the context--the problems you're trying to solve and which aspects are the most critical or the most difficult to solve. That's the point.

Another way to think of it is that Go's structural typing (loosely speaking, duck typing) had much more bang-for-the-buck than generics, both abstractly and concretely. If you came to that conclusion early on, you may design and implement the language in a way that makes generics even more difficult to fit into the language. The original decision could have been perfectly legitimate, but over time it might seem like you simply didn't appreciate generics at all, especially when criticisms take the benefits of the existing design for granted without thinking about path dependency, etc.

FWIW, I've never written a single line of Go code.
You don't think beginner's difficulty to use a language is worth criticizing considering a number of bike-shedding changes that are done to the language to make it easy for beginners?
"The surprise that is coming is that the working class won't tolerate being robbed in the next financial crisis."

They totally will again. The working class will again go against each other over irrelevant issues like guns, race and religion while the .1% will make sure to get ahead. I always like this story :

"An immigrant, a worker and a banker are sitting at the table with 10 cookies. The banker takes 9 and then tells the worker "watch out, the immigrant is going to steal your cookie"."
This is up to taste; I find map/filter/collect/etc to be cleaner than a for loop 95% if the time. For that 5%, there’s still for loops.

It's not clear that they're actually using radar to detect the birds for live monitoring. Here's what the article says:

« So, how to avoid disaster? New York City Audubon has positioned trained volunteers armed with binoculars on the roof of a parking garage in Battery Park City, at the base of the tribute, to monitor aggregations of birds in the tribute light beams. If densities exceed more than 1,000 birds or if a bird is found dead, the lights are shut down to allow the birds to disperse. »
Yes: if you DNSSEC-sign your domain but don't keep up maintenance of it, your domain will vanish off the Internet for users behind strict-validating DNS caches. That happened to HBO NOW for all Comcast users the week they rolled out.

No, it's not unless you're already biased. Android and iOS have the issue of ad-infested apps doing bad things with your data (and I'd even assume Android is in a worse situation), but this doesn't apply to most paid or trustworthy apps. It's not solely an iOS issue.

It depends on the activity of the server. But generally, you're only receiving message create events and updates to the server. But you aren't receiving things like member list updates, presence or typing events from the server until you focus it initially.

Additionally, we unsubscribe you from these events if you unfocus the server for a given amount of time.

For those of you who are wondering, Computer Engineering is 14th, "Mathematics and Computer Science" is 23rd and Computer Science is 30th. If I had to guess, CS has a wider income distribution than many of the higher ranking degrees, which are dominated by engineering degrees (many of which have lower unemployment rates too). The non-STEM degrees that beat out CS (assuming we don't count social sciences) are Finance, Public Policy, Economics, and Agricultural Economics. Cool dataset!
What do you mean by supports every platform?

There are a bunch of CI tools (Jenkins, Travis, etc.) that offer either hosted service that work everywhere, or on-prem which can be installed on every major platform.

I see that in start-ups. Their workforce must look "fresh" and "cool", "Instagram ready". This supposedly brings money apparently bored with life Angel investors love to burn. In those companies your product is a lifestyle for investors, what you are actually making is secondary. If someone is talented, it is a worst place to be in.
My experience with Reicha is mostly through his wind quintets, which are all competent, but not especially memorable IMHO. Which is very close to how I feel about Haydn. Reicha is actually more famous among woodwind players for popularizing (maybe originating?) the ensemble than for any of his individual works. Even a lesser work of Beethoven like his wind octet seems like a much higher standard to me. (To be fair, I've made the same criticism in the past of the following 50 years of Romantic-era music.)

There are sadly many composers who might've been more obscure if they hadn't had someone like Bernstein to popularize their works. Nielsen, Martinu, and William Grant Still are three of my favorites whose symphonies deserve to be much more widely played.
I think I'm most surprised that zoology is ranked second. Wondering how common an occupation that could possibly be?
Monomorphization is a feature of compiler not the language, in the context of systems programming binary size often isn't the foremost priority.

Perhaps Rust compiler could get feature flag for controlling optimization priorities as I suspect in webasm world one would more often prefer more reasonable network transfer sizes than the fastest running version that is possible.

AFAIU the problem, from a theoretical point of view, is not that you need to pass the self function, but how to define it. In pure lambda calculus, there are no named functions, just lambdas, so you actually need the Y combinator for recursion.

> Taxi lobby pressuring municipal governments? I cannot imagine you using the past system as an example of a well-run program. There was never a good reason to limit the number of taxicabs on the streets. There were good reasons for some regulations, such as driver registration, transparent pricing, vehicle standards, but not regulations around limiting number of vehicles.

New York implemented a medallion system because Manhattan is a long, narrow island with high travel demand. Commuters, shoppers etc. do own cars and clog streets during the peak hours, but commuters and shoppers also park their cars while they're off doing their jobs and errands; taxis are constantly driving for fares.

Were medallion prices high? Sure. But that doesn't mean a race to the bottom to provide a cornucopia of taxi services doesn't have negative externalities.

> C programmers tend to write their data structures themselves. Rust programmers tend to use packages. If you've determined that you need a linked list in Rust, you don't start writing one: you "use std::collections::LinkedList;". It's a doubly-linked one, so maybe that's not what you need. In that case, you go on crates.io and see if someone has already written what you need. (225 hits incidentally: https://crates.io/search?q=linked%20list)

Not sure why you bring this up, since sooner/later people are going to need to implement their own data-structures(and this ownership problem will surface) and being it harder to implement is not relevant to package management(after all somebody did just implement that and made it available).
No, it's not controversial. However, it also doesn't seem to respond to anything chimeracoder said. You sound like you think you're arguing with chimeracoder, but I don't see which point you're responding to.

Pretty bummed I missed a chance to try this! I had manually gone through my merged PRs list before to try and assemble a count of my contributions to each public project to come up with some sort of profile of stuff I've participated in/contributed to, as I really didn't see any of these type of pages doing that.

The article didn't explicitly say this, but it was heavily implied that many of the guests were Chinese or East Asian (99 ranch, male enhancement fungus, superstitious rituals). Not to mention it's characteristic of the nouveau rich of China that have no idea how to properly invest their money.
I'm not just referring to large cities. The same fear of public transportation impacts small and medium cities throughout the Bay Area. Many people will continue to live in those cities, but choose to drive their own cars or use ride sharing services. It's a significant obstacle to increasing public transit usage and we'll have to find a solution if we want to reduce traffic congestion.

It seems that the phenomena the parent describes were or are present in all instances of fully implemented socialism to date, not just in the USSR.

Since you edited to add your counter-examples, I’ll edit to point out that socialism is a system that has been deliberately implemented by its instantiators in each case I’m aware of. To compare it to capitalism, but only those capitalist countries that have suffered lawlessness or other calamity, is to compare apples to oranges.
To parse LilyPond you would first need to write a Scheme interpreter. Once you finally get a tree for the sheet music, rendering in a way that is correct, beautiful, and easy to read is no small task either. Sheet music rendering is full of so much nuance [1], and it's really hard to get it right. It took brilliant people many years to get LilyPond to the state it's in today. I picked LilyPond because it's powerful and beautiful. Don't get me wrong, VexFlow and abcjs are impressive projects, but LilyPond has a head start.

I think one day, you'll be able to use emscripten or similar to run LilyPond in the browser. We are not there yet.

You’re right, they aren’t using it in real time, they are using people looking up at the sky to make a gut determination as to when there are “too many” birds.

I expected there to be innovation because based on the article, light pollution of this sort is a known issue for birds. Not ever source of this type of pollution will be able to have volunteers stand around looking at the sky. This seems like a problem that needs a automated solution to scale.

Background sounds should not trigger voice. Typing should not trigger voice.

That's right. Voice activity detection (VAD) is not the same as sound detection. WebRTC even has a really good VAD built into it that is extremely easy to use and dynamically adapts to the current audio environment. See e.g. https://github.com/wiseman/py-webrtcvad and https://github.com/dpirch/libfvad for examples where the relatively small VAD code has been pulled out of the giant webrtc corpus.

People also need to know to enable AEC in their audio driver, which completely solves the problem of whatever sounds they're playing leaking into their mic.
As an actuary I don’t think I would recommend it for most people. At the very least, keep your options open by getting a math or CS degree and passing a couple of exams on the side. I feel like this really glosses over the weight of the credentialling process. It also doesn’t appear to talk about the oversupply of entry level applicants.

I figured it would be controversial to call the power supply a switching power supply, but I haven't seen a solid reason yet to exclude it.

I'm not sure how you're distinguishing between a "switching voltage regulator" and a "switching power supply".

There was never a good reason to limit the number of taxicabs on the streets.

Without some kind of limit/pricing on the public good that is city streets, what in particular is to stop Cab Company X from saturating the roads with cabs in a brute force attempt to capture a higher proportion of the ridership (and incidentally ballooning road wear & travel times to the detriment of everyone else)?

Same kind of problem as people anticipate with driverless cars (e.g. while I go in to shop at this store, my car circles the block for the next hour waiting for me). City streets are a "common good" that is largely unpriced.

It's a brute force solution with obvious shortcomings, to be sure.
When 'logfromblammo' says "such a person", he is referring to a person who complains that cyclists aren't paying their fair share of road taxes. He was not attacking you, although he may have been attacking 'kazinator', the author of the comment he responded to. Personally, I enjoyed both the creative phrasing that 'kazinator' chose and the imagery of the response from 'logfromblammo', and think both of them were having good fun with language while making reasonable points.
