It's like saying that some people in London are capable of understanding rural Cork English. It might be true; it doesn't make 'Corkish' a language, even though if you wrote down the language of rural Cork I think it would be as different from London English in vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation as Scots.

It's a reasonable position, although a counter-argument is that for many people, a self-inflicted problem such as being overweight isn't all that amenable to conscious control. So, giving the advice: "you're overweight, it causes many other problems, you should do something about that" isn't especially useful. An article in the Atlantic from 2015 summarized this: "Victims of childhood sexual abuse are far more likely to become obese adults. New research shows that early trauma is so damaging that it can disrupt a person’s entire psychology and metabolism." The depth of the problem is beyond the kind of repair possible with explanations and advice.

ODE TO THE WOMBAT — Anon.

As you pound along the track

Eyes wide open and ears pinned back

You may have noticed those queer square turds

And thought if not expressed in words

The pain of such defecation

Baffles the imagination

But it ain’t done to entertain us

The wombat has an oblong anus

So if at night you hear pained cries

Outside your tent, feel no surprise

With eyes shut tight, teeth clenched with pain

A wombat’s gone and crapped again!

Running is one of those sports that people tend to think the 1 thing that worked for them is the answer for everyone. It's not that simple. People have hips with different shapes. People have legs of different lengths. People have ankle damage from previous sprains. Good form helps for sure, but if you want to claim that all running issues are related to form - I have a bridge to sell you.

What is the difference between collecting and simply buying? You might think collecting implies buying toward an end goal (i.e. there is a closed list of items and I will eventually have them all), but the article discusses, like, antique knives and other such things.

Is the distinction merely quantity? I have more art than I can hang in my walls but wouldn't consider myself an art collector, and some of the examples in the article don't seem to be quantity driven.

Is there a difference between a (hobby) musician who has several guitars because they have different timbres and a collector who collects guitars?

Is it the mere act of having something rare or unusual? Then many collectors who buy mass-produced junk (e.g. Funko Pops) are not collectors, and I am a book collector because I got a few 19th century pieces when my grandfather died.

Anyone have insight for what exactly collecting is?
Definitely not as popular, but Arrow-ized effect systems are an interesting area that I've seen people exploring more lately.

Jake Keuhlen spoke about it at LambdaConf this year [0] [1], and John De Goes spoke a bit on the notion of Arrow-ized IO in the `zio` library for Scala that offers an alternative interface for `IO` effects [2].

Will Fancher has also written a bit on the concept of "Free Arrows", but it's a much deeper dive (IMO) than the previous resources [3].

In searching about an obscure fact concerning languages I found Paul Graham's essay "Beating the Averages"[0] I found it interesting, and started to read some of the other essays. As a quick hack I then drew a diagram of the obvious connections between them[1]. Similarly, I then used a PageRank-style ranking of the essays[2].

I sent the results to Paul Graham, who said I should submit them to HN, of which I'd never heard. I did so, and they pretty much sunk without trace, as do so many of my submissions. Even so, I read some more, and stayed for a while.

Sure, but you can have defined rules about what happens when you compare values with disparate encodings, similarly to how you have to have rules about how column expressions are compared in SQL with regard to their collations. The way such things are done is typically to coerce the second value into the encoding of the first value, and then compare the two values. What the Delphi compiler does is issue warnings when there might be data loss or other issues with such coercions so that the developer knows that it might not be safe and that they might want to be more explicit about how the comparison is coded.
Scots Gaelic is the best option if we have to have one, but TBH I'm not sure that the majority of scottish people really resonate with it, as it's not been a significantly used language for the majority of Scottish people in hundreds of years.

On the scots pronunciation thing, yeah that's usually how I work out what it is, just say the words out loud with a scottish accent and I can work out what they're getting at.
The whole user experience of installing Windows 10 is abysmal. Wife got a new laptop and I watched her to the initial setup. Stupid things like an "enter your pin" dialog that automatically opens another dialog that closes if you hit enter. So you quickly type your pin and hit enter and just see the dialog flash. Or the confusing "remove" button for the fingerprint scanner setup that just removes all of your fingerprints without confirmation. That's just one UI. It feels like some shitty enterprise software. Pathetic.
After leaving NYC I've lived in more than a dozen European cities over the last five years. The one commonality that I've seen is that where ever an area is pedestrianized it just explodes with life. Terraces, shops, children, dogs.

No one wants to be anywhere near a 100km/hr road. It can sometimes be ok to walk next to a 50km/hr road but it's not nice and it's best to avoid it. 30 km/hr you can stroll or sit on a terrace and it's fine. But when it's 20km/hr or just closed everything changes.

When there's no chance your kid is going to get killed by a car, he can just go out and play. Your dog can sit off leash under your table while you eat. You can be absorbed in a conversation and not worry a misstep will result in serious injury or death.

We somehow just accept that the possibility of death or jury is just outside our door. Like live electric wires running down streets. When you take them away, everyone just relaxes a lot more.
I did upgrade to Windows 10 1809 and fortunately didn't run into any issues. However, I suspect there is a memory leak somewhere.

The dangers of car oriented cities has been so egregiously ignored, at least on a policy level, that strong and aggressive push backs are not surprising.

Honestly, I think this is kinda what drivers get for fighting tooth and nail against bikelanes and public transit for decades.
Technological innovations Luxury fashion brands
Well, I think my position is a little more nuanced than that. I think it's heavy-handed [given our current circumstances] and restricts individual choice [excessively]. Obviously we have no absolute freedom in society, and individual choice is constrained to varying extents. The question is what extent is appropriate.

Being discriminatorily restrictive is fine, in my opinion. If you can't afford to pay the costs for your action, you shouldn't do it. The smoking example is a tough one, because if it gives someone else cancer due to second-hand smoke I don't think you can put a price on that.

But let's say in the car case we are okay with a certain level of pollution (we must be), and we have a floating congestion and pollution tax that was assessed hourly (like surge pricing), based on both how many cars were on the road, and the global air quality level (just an impractical example). When roads are particularly busy, and a lot of CO2 has been released, let's say the cost of driving into the city that day spikes to $1000. In that case, if a rich guy wants to pay $1000 to drive into the city, that's just fine. That $1000 goes to building public transit infrastructure and environment cleanup or whatever else. Poor people will be restricted, but they're already restricted. They can't fly private jets, or helicopters, or drive Ferrari's that have 12 cylinder engines and 500 horsepower. Restricting the options down the level that everyone can afford is impractical in a market economy.

> for people who don't have alternatives available

Well, I've also said repeatedly that in order to restrict car usage you first have to build a robust (affordable) public transit infrastructure. My main opposition to an outright ban is most cities don't have sufficient transit to support it. A good way to fund such a project, in my opinion, is with the aforementioned taxes from rich people who want to drive private cars. However, I also think if the costs are appropriately priced, that everyone benefits from the individual who wants to drive a private car, as society gets the income to offset those costs, and he or she gets to drive a car. I may be in the minority here, but I don't see a future where there are no private cars as practical, or desirable.

> because your freedom ends where others' begin, and it's becoming pretty clear that car usage today is in fact encroaching on other people's freedoms

I don't know if that's that clear. Maybe we have a different understanding of freedom.

Well times are obviously different where you are. Over in Glasgow we had no contact or mention of Scots as a language in school whatsoever.

Out of curiousity, what rough timeframe was your schooling in? I have a feeling that it's been seeing more of a resurgance in recent years, my schooling experience was in the 70's and 80's for comparison.

I find Scots words in vernacular speech all the time, but I don't think I've ever heard someone speaking it as a distinct language.

I've heard weegies speak Glaswegian, and I've heard people from the kingdom speak with their accent and dialect, but not people speaking "Scots".

If Kafka may feel overrated to some today, it is almost entirely because he was genre-defining. I mean, The Trial is full of clichés of Kafkaesque dystopias, for example. For good reason.
Consider the Elephant
Both of your scenarios assume that the issue is due to some fixable personal failing, and both of those assumptions are unfounded. “Lack of planning” is how you might describe “poor executive functioning” if you were to attach a moral weight to it; in reality, poor executive functioning is itself often a symptom of trauma, particularly complex or developmental trauma. It is also a feature of autism, particularly in how it manifests differently among women. Similarly, there are many people for whom no known weight loss method has worked without intolerable costs. (Suicidal ideation, dramatic hair loss, debilitating fatigue or cognitive deficits.) This seems to be one of those things that people often refuse to believe, instead gas lighting the hell out of the people who suffer from this. I have known people who’s compulsive behavior absolutely contributed to their weight problems (and in those cases, trauma was also a factor), but I’ve also known people who have done and tried everything, and the way they suffer is not something I would wish on anyone. We don’t yet fully understand how trauma, particularly long term trauma, affects the body, let alone the metabolism, nervous system, endocrine system, or even GI tract, but everything we are learning seems to point to profound effects. It seems incredible to assume that there might not be purely physiological mechanisms at work beyond the control of self-directed behavior.

In general, trauma symptoms encompass many more dysfunctional behaviors than is often understood by lay people, and while self-destructive behaviors in response to trauma or persistent C/PTSD are no less self-destructive because of their origins, describing them in moralist terms is actively harmful. It is often more accurate, and compassionate, to describe those behaviors as adaptations to stress that have become maladaptive. They are not moral failings; they are the result of bad conditioning. Put another way: if the only tools you have for internal regulation are shitty tools, you learn to depend on shitty tools to survive.

This does not make traumatized people any easier to be around or to help. You still need to draw your own boundaries, as you noted. But if you’re able to approach such people within your own acceptable boundaries with an open mind, and the willingness to point them towards trauma treatment that might actually be helpful, those conversations you’re not sure how to have might have better outcomes.

For further reading on trauma I’d recommend Van der Kolk, Levine, and others.

I think that a small company has to treat their users more carefully. Big companies get various kinds of lock-in (depending on the product): inertia, user familiarity, network effects, and a large percentage of the users that don't do things like put thought into their choices and switch.

I think that they will tend to behave better as small companies. Most large companies started off as small companies doing good things. But you should probably accept that if they become dominant players, you will have to jump ship again at some point.

I don't know about "paranoia". Google, Facebook, etc. can gather a lot of information and perform very sophisticated analysis on it, and aside from what we know they do with it, they can accidentally leak it, get compromised, or just flat-out get more evil in what they can and will do with it as time goes on.
That's not Python's fault - those are programmer errors.

I really enjoyed this article. Scots is certainly a language of its own - to hear it in the wild you must venture out of the more populous areas (Inverness and Aberdeen are exceptions) of Scotland and into the highlands and rural areas. It is also used much more by older, poorer or more isolated demographics within Scotland: as a farmers' son, I met many Scots-speaking people when I went to the market with my father.

People who claim Scots is "just an accent" don't know what they're talking about.

No, we do not see any user id. IP address we do see for any “tokens sent to user wallet” cases, for antifraud and per terms & privacy policy, but that is not a useful id and (more important) we do not use it for other purposes per GDPR. See GDPR’s “purpose limitation”. We would face 4% of global revenue fine if we violated this, and we are holding FB, G, and others to same standard.

For IP masking in the case where you buy your own tokens, we have two options: 1/ relaying at IP level where we would not see your IP address and the partner would not see any encrypted payloads; 2/ Tor, which is already integrated. More to do but you led with “we see user history” and that is just false in all these cases. We do not see history of sites visited or supported on a linkable to user basis.

> No it doesn’t. The whole range of 128-159 are undefined.

Not in the sense of being decodable. If you decode a byte string with Latin-1, you get a unicode string containing code points 0-255 only, each code point matching exactly the numerical value of the corresponding byte in the byte string. So you can recover exactly the original byte string by re-encoding. Plus, every possible byte string is valid for decoding in Latin-1, so you will never get any decode/encode errors. As long as you don't care about the semantic meaning of bytes 128-255, this allows you to preserve the data while still working with Unicode strings.
