This tooling-first approach is basically what we're going for with http://www.hyperfiddle.net/ – the requirements of the killer app are what drives the hypermedia API, the mechanics of which are extremely innovative and weird. One key difference is Hyperfiddle's I/O layer is decoupled from transport, it is not limited to http or client/server, which opens a whole spectrum of I/O configurations with different performance characteristics, including "ship the api definition over there so it can run near that secure database" like html/javascript layer apps are shipped over the wire. We think Hyperfiddle can emit Siren-compliant representations (or any other general purpose hypermedia mimetype), though Siren can not express the entire continuum of I/O and data ownership that Hyperfiddle's protocol can (and thus Hyperfiddle probably cannot be built directly on Siren – the tools must come first). We solve the caching problems with an immutable database (Datomic) which permits idealized caching of everything at every layer. If the constraint of an immutable database sounds like a dealbreaker today, it probably is; but it unlocks a whole new frontier of capabilities that apps ten and twenty years from now will require. Why are we designing new protocols for the requirements of yesterday?
To clarify, there are two laws about this.

There is a specific law (I'm not sure if it's just in NSW or if it's nation-wide) about not being allowed to smoke within 4 meters of an exit to a building (because smokers tended to smoke right outside a building -- presumably because it's more convenient -- when indoor smoking became illegal). A large cluster of people smoking in front of a doorway is not much better than those same people just smoking in the lobby (and people who need to enter the building can't really avoid it).

There are other laws about smoke-free areas (my university campus is one of them). As a non-smoker I do appreciate this quite a bit (having lived in a country where smoking in public areas and indoors was very common), but I'm not sure about whether it is actually a significant improvement for non-smokers. The city's image is probably just as significant a motivator for such rules.

Regarding data, I did a quick Google search and found some articles[1,2,3] ranging in dates to 2007. I've only skimmed them, but one of them[1] specifically mentions doing comparison to pollution from cars.

I think it may be a misconception from someone from e.g the US where there is a threshold for getting a bank account.
So ReasonML is actually a Javascript-like syntax for OCaml, and its tool-chain converts Reason code to OCaml, which then uses a tool called Bucklescript to convert that OCaml to Javascript.

All because some people just have to have their curly braces.

I will never stop being angry that this exists. There is no reason for it other than pedantic bikeshedding and Facebook’s mission to proprietize web tech. It does nothing but mangle a perfectly readable syntax and bifurcate the ecosystem of the language.
If they even get one long tail advertisement right, it's a win for them.
The very point was that at least some double digit portion of population actually did.

The point is also that there is a not that small category of people who are ready to believe really everything for as long as they hear that from a smart looking guy in a suite, and it is "dumb and simple enough to believe." This the very thing going on now in Easter Europe with ultraright maxim "refugees steal your welfare" and "Soros conspiracy"

Now, this is being weaponized big time, against the US this time. It took Kremlin probably just few hundred man hours to make one of such guys to attempt assassination of Hillary Clinton.

Now imagine how things will turn if they will double down on that.
Re: (1), I recently upgraded to a bike with "brifters", and was delighted to discover that newer Shimano levers have mostly solved this problem. When downshifting, you can push the lever further to the right to dump multiple gears at once.

It doesn't work when shifting up, or allow for the truly violent changes I used to pull off with my friction shifters, but the convenience and speed of shifting right without moving my hands from the brakes is well worth the trade-off.
Aha! Yes, that would explain the unhappiness.
I never understood why people love REST. Just use some kind of JSON-RPC, or something like that. In my experience most of so-called "REST" interfaces are just poorly written RPC. Some people even think that REST means HTTP + JSON. It's extremely rare to encounter a true REST interface with e.g. HATEOAS, proper caching, etc. And if many developers can't utilize technology, probably technology is not good enough to be commonly used. Web Services with their WSDL were the best thing. They were too complex, they use XML which is apparently out of fashion today, but the idea was solid, we just need something simpler but with good enough tooling.
For the vast majority of people it would be a major inconvenience, requiring non-trivial time and effort to set up everything required to receive the equivalent of, say, $10 in crypto converted to the local currency in their bank account, which is the only place when it starts being usable money to them.
Yes, but that doesn't mean that there are only irrational numbers. There are rational numbers, they just have zero measure. Similarly, these curves come in more than two types - those other types just have zero measure in the probability space of the curves.

There is many borders, not just getting into Sweden, one of them is getting bank account, the other is getting a BankID, the third border is getting Swish, for example. For each, there is criteria and different requirements, and costs.

For me, I refuse to run non-free software on my computing devices, Swish is a non-free proprietary spy-ware. Just because of this decision, I am excluded and made feel like an outcast at social events where money is involved - such as splitting a bill at restaurant. Yet Im white, so I can politely tell my white friends to suck my dick if they refuse the cash I hand them. For an non-white immigrant, telling other people to suck it is not so easy.
NFC terminals are growing at the same rate as NFC cards, but cards have a pretty long lifespan so my old debit card which is ~5 years old is still chip and pin, while my new credit card from the same bank is both chip+NFC.

I’m not going to go through the hassle (a few clicks) of replacing my card just to get NFC. The same goes for retailers, terminals get NFC on the next replacement.
I buy high config apple devices regularly, and they're quite expensive here in India with import duty, rupee depreciation and ppp in mind.

If my products went bad like, I'd be genuinely too disappointed. Luckily I've always had damaged / out of warranty products replaced by apple by being a little persistent.
> definitely miss a debugger or an REPL

Bizarre that a programming language designed by non first time language designers, backed by a multi-billion dollar company and used extensively throughout that company(by "new" engineers), doesn't have a world class debug story.
My bad, I just glanced at the code.
Are you using O_DIRECT?

Goroutines do an equivalent job but write is synchronous and thus blocks one thread of the go scheduler, as far as I can tell.

Also the benefit of the async io API is that it allows sending multiple requests in ones call. Syscalls in go do have an overhead which can be mitigated this way, I guess.
Few actually require that information. Just say no thanks, and they continue without it.
This is still to be discussed but most studies mention the intake of 50-100 mg/day. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136969/ mentions 75mg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_gluconate#Zinc_gluconate_... is a good starting point for further research.

But as always, consider every supplement carefully. I took 50mg a day before and noticed some inconvenient side effects like bad odour of my sweat and very dry skin. ATM, I just take 50mg/week, and I didn't experience a cold in the last two years (for whatever reason).

The idea is nice, but if security is one of your concerns, you'll probably not want to run this if the docs are even close to representative of the actual application:

> 3. Configure the service account to run workflows

> For clusters with RBAC enabled, the 'default' service account is too limited to support features like artifacts, outputs, access to secrets, etc... Run the following command to grant admin privileges to the 'default' service account in the namespace 'default'

This raises so many red flags. Never give admin rights 'as a default'.
I wonder if this could be considered anticompetitive (in the legal sense)?
Apple's Hardware with T2 Security Chip Will Currently Block Linux from Booting
I'm in the process of evaluating Go-raylib for a fantasy console project in lieu of Love2D. The basic rationale is:

* I only need inner loop high performance - it's a fantasy console, and intentionally limited. It will have some C code, but I don't want to write a lot of it.

* I want the project to be easy to build with few external dependencies(raylib is tops at getting this right)

* I want static types and zero-indexing for the "OS layer" part, at least, since I have to build some original data structures for IDE functionality(e.g. there will be a text editor).

It was the last part that made me switch away from Lua, and then it was the first two that made me consider Go.

Article seems a bit unclear. Are they blocking third-parties from selling used Apple products? There are a ton of independent people (including just random individuals) selling used machines.

It keeps referring to refurbished machines, which is a fairly big distinction, at least on the Amazon platform.

Refurbished machines are sold as primary items; they have an ASIN and are assumed to be basically fungible goods as long as the specs are the same.

Used machines are the ones you find through the "Available from these sellers" subpage on an item (which will often be out of stock, once the machine isn't being sold as new). There you have to list the condition, and many are shipped directly from seller to buyer without going through Amazon at all.

I am wondering if what Amazon is doing is saying that, unless you are Apple, you cannot call a machine "refurbished", only "used". That seems... aggressive, but not completely out of line. It seems like it's letting Apple take ownership of the term "refurbished", when they should really differentiate themselves by saying "Factory Refurbished" or "Apple Refurbished" or something, but it wouldn't necessarily block resale of the units completely.

If Amazon is actually prohibiting all resale, even as "used", they are going to be making a huge giveaway to eBay and Swappa, since that is where the secondary market will likely go. The demand for used Macs isn't going to disappear, and Apple's recent trend towards higher prices is going to increase it.
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll self-host a service." Now they have two problems.

How do we know thinness drives sales? If thinner devices, which also are faster with more features etc sell more than the previous edition, the cause is quite difficult to pinpoint, surely?

The fact that devices get thinner and devices are sold in ever more numbers/profitably does not mean the device dimensions are the cause.
Why Silicon Valley is worried about US plan to curb Chinese funds
Every time people talk about a cashless society, I tell them about stuff like this both abstractly and concretely, and then I just get called a luddite. I think, unfortunately, that people will have to learn this lesson the hard way. I don't own a working smartphone, my last one (like the one before it) failed randomly in the display, and was unjustifiably difficult to RMA (no box provided, no postage, unclear details on how to mark). I don't get why people want to use these cumbersome, life-running pocket computers to control access to their money on a day-to-day basis. Here in

Canada we have Interac, which is mostly everywhere, but we also have cash, and three or four credit networks (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and sometimes Discover). There are only really three physical modes of operation, and they all have a time and a place: Tap card 95% of the time, insert and use pin when fraud detection gets a funny feeling, and use cash when all else fails (because sometimes that means you have to call up your creditor's fraud department and let them know you're just on a roadtrip, your card hasn't been stolen).

I don't think requiring a smartphone to accomplish what chip & pin and NFC cards do just fine is an upgrade.

Then these people talk about making state payment processors. What happens when fraud prevention completely stops you from being able trade any money? Do they drive out to fix your problem on the spot? How on earth could they expect that to work out well?
In my experience, informing the bank of travel makes no difference. They block regardless even when I inform and even for foreign charges that appear with regular frequency.

It is actually a nice informative video, but the title is as dumb as dumbness itself. Software should not be perfect. It should be useful. In places where perfection increases usefulness (s.a autopilot), go ahead make it perfect. In most cases, striving for "perfection" is a profound misallocation of resources.
I fear that this is exactly the kind of advice that makes websites all look the same.
> What is the proper balance between right to repair and anti counterfeiters?

Probably a legitimate way to get replacement parts from Apple?

Licensed apple service centers are still a thing, but as far as I know they’re the only way to get legit apple parts. My only experience is for Mac parts though, I’m not sure if they extend into the iOS realm. They didn’t when I left that industry (shortly after the first iPhone was released, the third party licensed repair shops had to ship back to apple for repairs)

A lot of big stars, especially in music, fail to conform to gendered expectations. Very "manly" rock stars often have quite long hair. There's a great song that's a send up of such expectations called "Get a haircut (and get a real job)". Punchline: The long-haired rock star makes more money than the older brother he was always negatively compared to.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnOVKtBxSv0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su3HiXOjrfA

Prince had long hair and wore more colorful, feminine clothing. Madonna wore a mix of masculine and feminine stuff. There are probably lots of other examples.

A lot of big stars actually end up admired and even emulated to some degree. They do this and typically make it look good.

That observation plus firsthand experience suggests that doing it and making it look good goes a long ways towards other people being okay with it. So get an education in design. Learn a little something about working with color and that sort of thing and go to town to your heart's content, just take a look in the mirror and try to be something someone envies and most people won't care that you cross-shop.
> 2-3 years each

That's not a very long time. Business laptops' extended warranty is 5, and to be honest, 5-6 years old laptops - actually, nearly anything since modern sleep and aes-ni - are perfectly enough, so instead of buying new, it really should be possible to fix a hinge, a display, a keyboard once in a while, instead of needing to buy a new machine.

You can get anonymous spending (the benefit of cash) only with a distributed ledger.

A centralized ledger would just be regular debit cards but would bypass the banks/visa/mastercard. It offers the benefit of non-cash (no physical currency) but not the benefits of cash (anonymity).

I hope we can get the benefit of both. My money stored on a card or gadget in my pocket instead of printed, but also chargeable through atms or internet banks so that the spending is anonymous.

Jensen Huang mentioned that he projects 1,000x GPU speed increase by 2025, so I am being conservative. If you also talk to NVidia people, the "rumors" are that Turing/Ampere will be pure gaming + inference cards and compute cards will no longer be sold individually. Moreover, recent pricing hike makes me think NVidia and game publishers are preparing a ground for streaming services, first an optional choice, then due to steeply growing individual GPU prices and lower TCO of subscriptions the only economical choice for a regular gamer. 1,000x speedup would definitely allow some advances things like Deep Fakes in near realtime; that could be extremely damaging to governments (we all could think of what fake but realistic coordinated nuke videos would cause, or a made up "leak" of world leaders with realistic audiovisual content), so a logical conclusion on my part is a strict regulation of such technology, that could indeed be classified as a psychological weapon of mass effectiveness.

> it follows that any inadvertent inhalation of cigarette smoke is extremely dangerous, and that nicotine is the most deadly poison.

Nicotine isn't what most people are worried about, and presenting it this way is simply disingenuous. Tobacco smoke contains many other components than nicotine such as cyanide, benzene, arsenic, as well as 50 other known carcinogens. Literally nobody cares about your nicotine addiction, it's all of the other toxic components that are the problem.

The studies on second-hand smoking are very solid, and your calling them sketchy is very close to being an outright lie. Here is a summary of the many studies (dating back to the 80s) that all show the various impacts of second-hand smoking[1] -- it cites 194 papers. The WHO, CDC, American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, and many other groups (from other countries too) all concur that second-hand smoke is a very significant threat to the public's health.

Second-hand smoke is very likely one of the causes of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) for fucks' sake.
