As one potential example, it would be useful for implementing something similar to Racket's 'dispatch-rules' (https://docs.racket-lang.org/web-server/dispatch.html#%28for...) in JavaScript.

Specifically, the second return value from this macro is a procedure that generates URLs given a handler function. This allows one to go both ways in URL-handler mapping (generating URLs from handlers/controllers) instead of just one-way (mapping requests to specific handlers/controllers) as in a conventional router in Rails or Django.

Once you learn about this pattern, you start to see it in more places. A slightly different example, I am working on a mail router (something akin to procmail) in Racket, and have used a similar pattern to map from predicates (procedures taking an email and returning true or false depending on certain conditions) to symbols representing those predicates in a DSL. A hash table with procedures for keys lets me do this mapping in both directions should I need to.

(Note that I am not actually sure whether dispatch-rules itself uses procedure-keyed dictionaries or hash tables under the hood.)
I _think_ that may be a magic symlink/bind mount equivalent that gets remapped to the running user's location.

Heh. My driving instructor who enjoyed soviet cars told us of a trick to get cars like that up the hill - turn around and go back up the hill using the reverse gear.

"Evidence gathered by Reuters in the provincial town of Khoms shows an organised system of repression with methods including delivering electric shocks to suspects' genitals, keeping them for weeks in baking heat with only a few sips of water a day, and whipping them with an electrical cable while their hands were bound with plastic ties."

I noticed the option to paste in a private key and have it sign for you. If that goes to a server, that seems really dangerous. And, copy and paste on Android is really dangerous as well. Is that not an issue somehow with Trezor? Is there a way to use a hardware wallet and avoid sharing your private key while still getting the benefits of solutions like Kyber?
If the Earth's cows were a country, they'd be the #3 GHG emitter. Making milk to make fuel would be horribly inefficient and detrimental to the environment. We simply need less cows.
Its not about total trust "rating". That not how web of trust works. You, the informed and responsible user, have to look at who their connections are.

It's more like Linkedin: if someone adds you and they are a mutual connection with a bunch of coworkers you like, that's good. But if their mutual connections are all social climbing spammers, you know they either are one themselves or don't know enough not to fall for that stuff.
I had no idea retrocomputer kits were a thing. Can you provide any links? I'd love to learn more.

They were happy to charge $1000+ for making "significant" repairs.
Nah. Better solution is removing reviews from people who get refunds. Double win by incentivizing manufacturers to refund a disgruntled customer.
An added issue here is that most money flowing from SWFs have a significantly lower return target(cheaper money- in my experience), as compared to nearly every domestic funding source.

The Citroën DS is one of my favourite cars of all time. In fact, Citroën has a soft spot in my heart as a manufacturer (due to the DS, the 2cv, success in rallying, among other things).
"Mega language popularity"[1] is largely driven by boom-and-bust fads, my friend, as well as cultural artifacts like word-of-mouth -- and the number of people who generally make any language decisions about them based on minute details like you're implying is a vanishingly small one, in my experience.

I'd even go further and say that, in my experience, your mind is likely already decided, as well as the minds of many others, when it comes to choices like this. Whether or not they renamed Perl 5 to Perl 7 or whatever is not really going to make a difference in the long run and no perceptible marketing changes will change that to you... People on places like this website already like to talk about other examples such as how "Ruby and Rails are dead" despite them still being immensely popular and widely used today still... Their mind is decided well before any actual facts of the matter come up, even if Rails has more open bug-reports than they have users. No amount of new marketing will change it meaningfully, because much of the decision is driven by cultural aesthetics, and aesthetically, it's just not cool anymore. We're all prone to it, and unfortunately, it is not always a fully rational or predictable path, either.

Some amount of marketing matters for software projects, a lot of it in fact. But at some point you have to call a spade a spade, and decide when you're just chasing meaningless fads for something that won't happen, based on technical marketing alone.

[1] Which is almost exclusively what everyone 'means' when they talk about this sort of branding/marketing stuff, if you asked me as a FOSS developer. Nobody can ever conceptualize "successful, accomplished, and with a healthy life", because by every measure Perl is a wild success in all these metrics, beyond what most software could ever dream of -- they can only conceptualize "total failure" AKA "dead language" and "wildly successful beyond all measure in all circumstances, forever".
My car isn't continuously encrypting and decrypting my most critical business information and my most private, intimate personal information. This fact alone drives my priorities—at least for me.

I'm glad Apple maintains trust between the fingerprint sensor and the secure enclave. That's a feature, not a bug.

Unless we're willing to compromise our lives to RMS proportions, we are forced to trust third parties. The value proposition for me with the iPhone is that I'm trusting the fewest third parties possible, and Apple has shown themselves to be sufficiently deserving of my trust.

Yep.

To me, the real bullshit is the expectation that anything other than a 100% 5/5 score is an indicator of serious fault.

If you leave 4/5 as an eBay review for example you have pretty much offended the seller.

We downloaded the 2019 LTSC (1809) and a day later it was pulled. I suppose it has the same problems.
I think they are developing means to protect their countries.
Amazon should come up with a proprietary and secret algorithm (the way Google search is) to do the same thing. They are in the best position to do this, since they have all the info. They could leverage purchase history, payment methods, addresses, account age, etc...; they even have the resources to use slightly more invasive information such as credit score. It's knowable what products are having fake reviews bought for them, they could secretly flag accounts suspected of this and lower their weight. Fakespot can't get half of the information Amazon already has. Amazon needs to fix this for themselves.
I know it was an error on my part, but I lost an updated password database file because of unexpected behavior with the Windows file explorer. I had mainly been working out of a single folder, so I didn't realize the next time that I opened the file explorer that it was showing me "quick access" since the file list was populated with the contents of the one folder I was using. I dragged the updated database file to the explorer window, and didn't get any notification. I'd thought it had overwritten the old file without warning, so I deleted the updated file I had dragged over. When I went to load the database, I saw it was missing recently added passwords, so I opened the explorer window and realized that it defaulted to quick access and silently ignores any drag and drop file copying.
I'd sure prefer to know that the product I'm about to buy frequently needs to be returned.

I would just get the discount then leave a 1 star review, to make up for the annoying hoop I just had to jump through.
I can't add comments to pull requests("you can't do that right now") and any commits pushed to branches are not updating updating the visible status in the web interface, no are newly created branches showing up. However, if you navigate to a new commit directly with its SHA (so you can share it with someone if you really want), it'll show up (so they're just not being indexed).

Dont worry. There are plenty of scammy vaporware startups founded by men. Just look at pretty much the whole cryptocurrency field for starters.
No, its pretty predictable and preventable. People clamor over themselves to prove how "woke" they are when a woman CEO comes along and prove how totally not sexist they are.

When Theranos was first starting there was lots of solid critiques of why it was all a scam, and so much of that was deflected as "sexism" [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Theranos was bound to fail, and was bound to implode - not just because Holmes was a fraud, but because the wokeness of Silicon Valley was complicit in her fraud, but letting her deflect any and all criticism as sexism.

Criticising a fraud who happens to be a woman isn't sexist and we shouldn't let people get away with suggesting otherwise. Thats the only way to prevent this exact same scenario from happening again.

Probably depends on what year you’re looking at. The Lada Riva started its life as a fiat 124 in 1979 and stopped production in 2010 or so. Those are some very tired tools, and I can imagine that the tolerances got much looser with time.
> It's the same thing as saying we shouldn't buy Saudi oil. If the only result is that you buy some other oil and the people who would have bought that oil buy the Saudi oil, nothing meaningful has changed.

I think this touches on another thing I've struggled for clarity on lately. How many degrees of separation do you need before you're willing to take investment from someone linked to something you find morally repugnant? 1 degree is relatively clear cut (though can still get muddy depending on how desperate your situation is). Is 2 degrees enough to decide it's ok? 3 degrees?

At a certain stage, it's arguable that benefiting one end of the chain won't result in observable benefit for the other. Where though? And at what stage does the benefit to society of your project outweigh the negatives of where the money that funds it came from?
Why don't you just got to a sporting goods shop; either a local or a chain like REI or Dicks, and pay the retail premium and know what you're getting?

If you are presented with pagination, you have a hint that there's more content to load and how much more, 2 pages or 100 pages? I know immediately that I have to repeat my search and how many times. You aren't "warned" of infinite scrolling upfront, you don't know there's unloaded content unless you scroll down. Nor do you have any idea when it will end. It's mystery meat navigation.

Good, because nobody should use wchar_t at all. It's the API that was thought up by people who got drunk and asked themselves "how can we make this char situation even worse?" wchar_t is widely recognized as one of those huge mistakes from the 90s, along with UCS-2. Today you should store strings in as bytes using UTF-8 and if you need to handle them in a fixed-width format you would choose an explicit 32-bit-wide type.

If all reviews are glowing positive, what's the point of the review system?
The generalized case that include sequences with repeated elements[1] are De Bruijn sequences[2]. These are cyclic sequences that contain each possible n-length string using k symbols, each appearing exactly once.

B(k=3, n=2) = 112132233
B(k=4, n=2) = 1121314223243344
B(k=3, n=3) = 111211312212313213322232333

Occam's razor cannot be used to assert that when something exists, if must be or indeed is likely, to be in its simplest possible form. Human DNA has plenty of redundant areas and yet we still exist. Indeed, probably all organism have a non-simplest form of DNA and yet still do just fine. We only have one example of a universe and even for that we have an imperfect understanding of its working. It is therefore impossible to know or assert that the universe is it its simplest possible form.

I wasn't comparing healthcare to roads. I was commenting about how silly people sound when they say "it isn't free, taxes fund it".

Also, speed limits can be comparable to turnpike's, the interstates are rarely "blocked" unless you mean congested, which is a different issue and one that more road at that location would actually make worse. Construction costs are comparable to turnpike construction and maintenance costs and are slow because, unlike a turnpike it's most visible and most delaying in areas like cities where you can't move cars to a shoulder, something that isn't an issue for turnpikes..

That's because they don't offer electronic circuit diagnosis services, they can only replace entire parts.

And remember, that $1000+ was a quote, not a final invoice. If it turned out to be a broken cable, a motherboard replacement wouldn't have solved the issue. It's likely the actual repair technician would have identified this fault and the customer would have ultimately paid a much lower price.

Theranos seems to have lasted quite a bit longer than Juicero, and I'm not aware of any criminal charges for Juciero's founders. (Never heard of Clinkle) So perhaps comparing the two isn't entirely fair.

Also, Juicero failed because of poor product/market fit and excessive price. Theranos had fantastic product market fit, it's just their product didn't function properly and relied on lying to their investors, their customers and the FDA.

When you rename yourself on GitHub, their Help says they put in redirects for all of your repositories (that last until such time as someone else claims your old name and creates a new repository with the same name as one of your old repositories, as this new repository supersedes the redirect). So squatting on your old name is a good idea to protect the repository URLs, but actually transferring your repositories to the squatted name seems unnecessary.

This is why I've gone back to buying from brick-and-mortar stores. They've done the curation. They're not going to carry junk that always gets returned.

I've canceled my auto-renew for Prime. I'm done.
