From the article:

Soon after, an order was placed by another of the 27 plans to buy the order for the shorted shares. That open buy order — essentially, a promise to purchase shares that the other plan still didn’t own — was proof enough for SKAT to approve a refund. Once the refund was issued, the buy order was canceled.

So they weren't actually buying the shares at all, or receiving the dividend.
Initially I choose MiniZinc, but then was turned off by its baroque syntax. Straight prolog syntax and picat syntax was much easier in the end.

writing prolog is mostly about writing in the most natural and readable syntax possible. using haskell-like types put me off.

Indeed, strange that Microsoft decided to support WebP and not wait for AVIF [1]. Mozilla had said that if at least one browser in addition to Chrome supports WebP, then they will consider supporting it, so looks like they are just fulfilling that promise [2].

WebP has its drawbacks, like no support for HDR content. AVIF supports it and Netflix would like to use it for video thumbnails.

> As Trump said recently, he will be pushing the EU to accept all of the untested GMO crops his sponsors grow, and he'll probably be pushing for a forced, EU-wide directive to just take everything and shut up.

The EU was so far very protective, even imperialistic about its own farming industry. The chances of that scenario happening, especially from a internationally laughed-at politician like Trump, are very low IMHO.

Oops, right. I really thought I wrote this. Sorry.
Perhaps if you were not so blinded by ignorance and fear and took the simple steps to actually read the article and the paper abstracts described you would see that the edits are ether simple quieting of existing genes or additions from the known domesticated tomato genome and are completely within the possible range that can occur from natural mutation. Rather than the old and boring method of dropping seeds into nuclear reactors or soaking them in tetragenic chemicals these crazy researchers are actually making directed changes. What is even more ironic is that in the specific papers mentioned in the article the researchers were taking wild versions of the plant and introducing specific features from domesticated versions so the result is a step away from the monoculture that so many claim is undesirable. Quelle horreur! Glad to see Europe will once again achieve an own goal on another technology issue though.

1. Its a good idea, if you are going to use licensed code that you have an understanding of the law and what it actually means when you use other people's code.

2. As the code is not relicensed you have to follow the terms. Generally for example even BSD licensed code (other than BSD0) requires that you include attribution both in source code and binaries or documentation, so you need to keep a full list of licenses and authors and list them out in the docs.
Very much so.

Beneficial genetic modifications will unfortunately always be pushed to create more lax laws and legal backdoors for modifications that are profit oriented.

As things are, the main modification of interest to the industries pushing for GM crops is herbicide and insecticide resistance (preferably of a particular patented brand). That is, just spray until everything but your tomatoes die.

As far as the article goes: if you want tasty tomatoes, try small scale organic crops, maybe even locally grown. Yes, they are more expensive. That's because they require more work.

Allowing for GM foods will not give you super tasty tomatoes at the price of cheap watery ones, even though that's the promise towards consumers. It's a racket for growing bad tomatoes even cheaper.
Gene suppression using CRISPR is less aggressive than some "traditional" techniques that aren't heavily regulated, like irradiating seeds and seeing what sorts of mutations that produces.

So banning CRISPR and not going back and making sure you aren't using any fruit of irradiated seeds is sort of incoherent.

> I am against other forms of performance-enhancing drugs (other than caffeine). They create a doping culture that is no different from that displayed in professional sports.

It is different because programmers aren’t directly competing with each other under controlled conditions. If caffeine were illegal, would you still be in favour of it?

> If you have a serious, professionally diagnosed learning disability, maybe you shouldn't try programming all day?

If someone can program effectively with a prescribed drug, why on earth shouldn’t they? Not allowing a disabled person to do a job that they can with some reasonable adjustments made by the employer is legal discrimination.

Between those two comments, it just sounds like you’re afraid of being outperformed by people who are prescribed drugs you can’t get legally.
Automobile Safety Belt Market Insights, Forecast to 2025
This is not a regular Windows update. A Redstone update is effectively a new version of Windows, and the updater replaces your existing Windows installation with the new version during the mandatory reboot. In other words, it's more like do-release-upgrade than apt-get upgrade. Obviously, this is going to be much more risky than the typical security patch.

But Microsoft is doing its damnedest to make it look like just another update to ordinary users. It's the same trick they used to automatically "upgrade" Windows 7/8/8.1 computers to Windows 10, only subtler this time because users already have Windows 10 which helps conceal what's going on.
You couldn't get more hand-waivy and abstract than that.

Except maybe if you said "just write some code to take input and produce output, that's all you need".

Yeah, it's a "virtualization layer" (though the usual terminology is "abstraction layer"). But that doesn't explain the specific of how to implement a layer that does undo/redo. Caching is also a layer, but it's not undo/redo. So it's not like "any layer will do".

The command pattern does explain one way of achieving it.
Anonymous sources are only anonymous to readers, not the journalists behind the piece who do know the identity and vet the information before publishing. That's standard operating procedure.

> Feels super weird to me that in its full context the point of this sentence wasn't "We should stop letting people starve to death instead of sending people into space".

I think the point was that you can apply that logic to anything... However if you really wana talk about spending on space programs vs spending directy on starving people, consider where we would be technologically, scientifically etc as a society if we always chose to spend money on the needs of others (of which there is an endless supply) directly rather than invest it in lofty ideas - It's pure speculation, but I image the difference would be direct spending would only ever briefly solve short term problems, but ultimately civilisation as a whole would be in a worse place.

In other words, we can take knowledge with us into the future, not food. and in this context, banksy is politically charged knowledge striving for change - which is bought and sold by rich people for better or worse.

tools have been overlooked almost completely

Also even popular people like Guido van Rossum can't get enough funds to improve compilers of such an important language as Python [0]. And current patent system doesn't support developing of software tools because everything is already owned by some patent trolls. For instance, why do they still not use AI agents [1] in machine code optimization? I think, it is not a coincidence. Just read recent news about Chinese hacking the USA hardware. Along with Russians they just dumb you down.

That money doesn't just vanish though. It's a wealth transfer from Adam to Bernice. Adam's bank balance drops from £100m to £99m, Bernice's goes from £100m to £101m.

If that transfer didn't happen, then both bank balances would remain at £100m. Nothing is lost or gained, it's irrelevant (Although in Banksy's case the original first sale often involves a transfer of wealth from Adam and Bernice to a random person)

There's nothing inherently good or bad about rich people playing money games with each others assets, it's not the same as Adam paying £10m to destroy a town and gain £20m in profit from exploiting the resources, or indeed divert tens of thousands of high-skilled effort per month into something like the Apollo program.
Thanksfully the original Banksy Girl with a balloon is still on some street in Amsterdam, visible to everyone. This frame was just an elaborate prank, as usual, to invalidate the "art market" scheme. From time to time forked Banksys are put on the commercial market. This was wonderful.
Yeah, the problem with the EU regulations for GMOs isn't that they impose food safety requirements, but that they apply differently to targeted vs. untargeted genetic modifications.

Part of that is inertia, since humans have been using selective breeding to accumulate beneficial mutations for millennia, and they only rarely mess up and turn plants that were safe to eat into unsafe ones [1]. Because of that, conventional breeders don't see the point in doing strict tests they haven't been doing before.

But in the end, that different treatment just leads to attempts at making large genomic changes without having to report them as genetic modification (e.g. using radiation to induce mutations) that are probably less safe than relatively targeted methods like CRISPR.

The GoF book eventually did more harm then good. The outcome of GoF is that patterns are (ab)used to enforce a common code structure and a reference to the origin (book) is the legitimation for it. Code samples are good for newcomers to learn and improve, but more or less "rigid" patterns make it harder to think out of the box. The form of the solution is not relevant, just the solution. If we focus too much on the form we end up in a cargo cult. And there we are.

One of my favorite real world patterns is PRG (Post Redirect Get). While it is a HTTP pattern, it can be described language agnostic, which is sufficient for a proficient programmer to solve the problem. It also clarifies HTTP and it shortcomings to a degree. It solves a real problem, the context is clear and is useful as a pattern to teach.
>I've never understood the need for noun genders and I scratch my head at a society that makes its members memorize such useless information.

Society doesn't make anybody do anything. Languages are not built in labs, they grow evolutionary and organically (with some bureaucratic intervention here and there).

For that particular people, following the historical lineages they went through, those things evolved in their language.

Plus, instead of seeing them as "useless information" (where the main concern is crudely expressing the most basic concepts to another, e.g. utilitarian communication), one could see them as a richer way of describing the world than English, and with more expressive power (not just for raw communication, for expression of feelings, poetry, etc as well).

(In fact a common point to many European essays from the past 200 or so years is how English is a cruder language suited mainly for "commerce").

The Duden [0] wrote [1]:

Kein Geheimnis dagegen ist, dass das Genus für den Marken- bzw. Produktnamen nicht festgelegt ist. Häufig wird die weibliche Form die Nutella verwendet, wohl abgeleitet von der aus dem Italienischen stammenden femininen Endung -ella. Es tritt aber auch die sächliche Form das Nutella auf. Das Neutrum wird häufig auch bei Fremdwörtern gewählt, wenn es keine starken Gründe für das Maskulinum oder das Femininum gibt. Seltener kommt der Nutella vor.

It translates to:

It's not a secret that the gender of brand and product names is not defined. Often, the female form
of "die Nutella" is used, most likely derived from the italian female ending "-ella". The neuter gender ("das Nutella") also appears. The neuter gender is often chosen for borrowed words when there's no strong reason for masculine or feminine. "Der Nutella" is rarely used.

> It amazes me how many people claim English is easy to learn

People think english is simple because we don't have the gender+conjugation+declension system of many languages. So initially, english appears simple. A boat is a boat is a boat. But everywhere else - from spelling to grammar to phonetics, english is irregular and has so many exceptions that it really requires effort to become native or even fluent.

One cow or many cows vs one sheep vs many sheep? One goose or many geese vs one moose vs many moose? Though goose can become gooses if you use it as a verb. Or look at envelope. You pronounce it differently depending on whether you use it as a noun, verb or adjective ( though it might be a regional thing ). And of course the nearly non-systematic accent/emphasis of syllables which you simply have to learn through listening. Whereas languages like latin have fairly consistent and systematic rules for accent/emphasis. And then there is the british insistence on adding a 'u' to words like labor or harbor.
>"THE table" and "A table". It's useless and clear from the context what is meant

"Bring the table", "Bring a table".

Do I ask you to bring some table we've already talked about or I can expect you to remember the reference to,

or do I ask you to bring any table because any table will do?

"Clear from the context" is a low bar. In languages, as in parsers, we should avoid it if we can.
1. He raised the price of a drug legally.

Yes, I was flabbergasted. He had the audacity to raise the price all at once. The rest of the heathens raise it over inflation, hoping we will not notice. I don't think strict capitalism, and medicine mix.

2. Yes--he was caught by the SEC. I doubt there's a successful Investor out there who hasen't used inside information. They went after him because they didn't want him to be the poster child of the 1 percent.

3. My amature deconstruction of Martin's psyche:

The guy always struck me as someone whom needed a girlfriend. I imagine he went after women whom were way out of league. He didn't want the aggressive MBA he saw at work, he wanted the liberal, punk rock, maybe goth girl. Women of a certain age, whom don't care about money. He wanted the carefree musician whom didn't worship the all mighty dollar. I remember the pictures of him in his hoodie, and looking like a hurt little boy. I felt he was still advertising for that special someone who might appease that longing for the right woman.

I always felt if his psychology needs were met, he wouldn't have put so much energy into making just money?

My point is I don't think he grew up as the anticrist. He just did what the other boys did, but got caught.

I still think he has a future when he gets out. I'm hoping the right wonan will give him a little honest love.
To be clear: cochlear implants and hearing aids cannot "fix" hearing. They are not a solution. Hearing isn't just volume—it's also clarity. I have profound hearing loss, and hearing aids help me to hear your voice, tone, and inflection, but I can't take the sounds I hear and turn them into words I can understand. Because of this, I rely entirely on lip reading for conversation, which is a poor, error-prone, and exhausting substitute.

Legislation focused on people with hearing impairments is exclusive and discriminatory. Legislation needs to instead focus on data use and storage.

Hearing loss is socially isolating and has tremendous impact on quality of life and opportunity. Only 20% of Canadians with profound hearing loss have full-time employment; 40% are unemployed and another 40% are underemployed.

Throwing "networking" into the mix, if it brings essentially real-world captions into the world for people with hearing loss, isn't on par with a smart fridge talking to the internet. It's a profoundly life-changing breakthrough that will improve the quality of life for 5-25% of the population that have some degree of hearing loss (2).
