Correct, I moved the goalpost because, thanks to your comment, I realized that saying that NameCheap is just as scammy as GoDaddy is an exaggeration. Nonetheless, I wouldn't trust a site with ads that outright lie. It's not like we are forced to choose between GoDaddy and NameCheap. There are other options that don't reserve searched domains, and don't show ads that lie. Since that is the case, I will opt for one of those other sites when looking to purchase a domain.
I recall listening to a presentation in RSAC around 2013 or 2014 where Adobe CISO or CIO or someone pretty much said that they don’t give fucks about product security. E.g. zero impact on sales.

> Didn't Trump nominate the supreme court justice?

Independent, not sovereign [1]. The branches can check each other, but a judge over whom the President has pretty much zero power will decide if Ms. Meng is guilty or not.

For example, one of Trump's nominees recently voted to keep existing case law regarding Planned Parenthood in place [2]. This disappointed conservatives. But there isn't anything the President can do except complain about it.

> didn't Trump himself say that he can intervene in Ms. Meng's case?

Trump says lots of things. His Justice Department can decide whether or not to bring the case. That's prosecutorial discretion, and it's devastatingly powerful. But in the end, if Ms. Meng is to be convicted, an independent judge presiding over a jury must agree with their case.

(It's not all rosy. The U.S. federal conviction rate is over 90% [3]. Better than China's 99.9%, but nothing to phone home about.)

This may sound like an odd request but at a creative codejam in Berlin a while back I saw something like this but "multiplayer" - different people could log on to a room and edit live. In this example they couldn't edit each others code but all shared the same output window. It used Processing.

It ended up being kind of a shared creation/remix experience which was really cool. I figure adding live simultaneous edits is a fairly difficult ask but it's immediately what I looked for when I saw your page.

Regardless, looks really cool!

It would be naive to believe politics/geopolitics plays no role in the justice system; it would be equally naive to believe rule of law is a sham.

I am an immigrant from a place where the legal code is largely a set of tools and pretexts for the powerful. I can assure you that the rule of law is more than just a phrase thrown around by our politicians.
No, I am not arguing that bandwidth is unlimited. That would be prima facie impossible. I'm somewhat confused and distressed to read a summation of my argument which implies such an absurdity; it seems objectionable in the context of a calm and reasoned debate. I'm sure that you meant no offense. I'm not incapable of arguing absurdities, but I hope that this is rare, or at least I hope that you may assume so for courtesy's sake.

Bandwidth is not unlimited, but the point seems irrelevant: costs do not scale linearly, in any sense, for any participant. It does not cost the ISP more or less if my modem is provisioned for 10 or 100 Mbps. It may or may not cost them more money if that bandwidth is actually used, but very few individuals have any large impact on their ISP's operating costs. The aggregate utilization does affect this, but the marginal operating cost per customer is much closer to "fixed/negligible" than "linear in proportion to usage". Correspondingly, customers are not billed based on usage (in the normal case).

The implicit argument is certainly that the price should be lower, but they did not argue a linear price relationship. There is no reason to believe their argument would be invalidated if that were the case, but they did not.
It's boilerplate rather then Frankenstein.

> China does not have the rule of law

A quick look at Wiki suggest that there's at least some aspects of rule of law in China (1) - although with some defects.

I don't have the background to compare these defects with those of any other country (like the US's high incarceration rate (in general, and of minorities specifically)). I have lived a few years in China and Hong Kong and know a few lawyers and accountants born/working there. This experience has left me with a generally positive outlook.

I always try to keep in mind that my experience is narrow, but, sadly, people often have absolute opinions with even less experience, so it's always hard to gauge. I'm curious if this is a field that you've studied or work in specifically?

I could do with just generics. I am honestly sold on the idea that OOP is flawed. I've tried to do "real" projects in C, but the continuous casting just felt like unnecessary ceremony.

Also, given that zeromq is a community-driven project, requiring the contributors to use C++ but avoid 50% of features is weird and non-idiomatic at best.

I don't think the parent was suggesting that there's anything wrong with what you wrote in that paragraph. At least IMO that counts as handling the error, vs. just doing nothing and assuming everything is ok. If you have to kick it back to the user and say "sorry, XYZ happened, and there's nothing I can do about it", that absolutely counts as handling the error. Not handling it would be just assuming the file got written properly to disk and then later having to deal with corrupt data.
This doesn't completely address the commenter's point. They asked how the GP came to the conclusion that they were arrested randomly which is a reasonable question. Not knowing doesn't mean your guess is accurate. Granted, one can take issue with the double standard question...but to twist it a bit, it's kinda a double standard to, without evidence/reason, say a country is doing something without evidence/reason.

Tough story...

What’s interesting in the post is that the author is not mad at ads in the first place, she’s angry at the failure of the algorithm to adapt to her situation.

So this is something that companies could fix. Like when they infer something about your state, they could ask you about it, and have a setting “on and off” ads.

Like: “hi, our algo tells us you may be pregnant, are interested in seeing ads for these kinds of stuff or not”? And that could be a setting you could remove.

Maybe it’ll spook some users off...

In any case there should be a button “stop trying to infer shit about me”.

Perhaps it’d be a good way to introduce pay $5 a month for total privacy Facebook.

Chess seems to show the opposite. In particular speak with literally just about any older grandmaster and you'll invariably find their mental faculties are still in great shape. Of course there's always a correlation != causation problem that plagues all sort of social studies. This observation does not necessarily mean that becoming a grandmaster would slow mental decline. It could simply be something within the individuals that drives them to become grandmasters that itself is what staves off the decline.

Ultimately I'm not entirely sure what the point of science along these lines even is. The big risk is you notice a correlation to something and assume causation. You then start working to try to pursue that end in cases where the correlation is good - or avoid that end in cases where the correlation is bad. And you spend immense energy and resources doing this, only to find that in the end there was no actual causation at all and you just spent immense amounts of time, energy, and resources doing nothing.

Even worse is that sometimes you might pursue the correlation and falsely end up at the desired end thus assuming causality when none exists. Maybe the best example of this is human/animal sacrifice of ancient civilizations. Those sacrifices were not baseless from their perspective. What undoubtedly happened is that at one point a civilization has e.g. a bad harvest. They feel they must have wronged the gods, so they end up sacrificing something. And, completely by coincidence, the next harvest is bountiful. Lo and behold, you now have centuries of human and animal sacrifice in a model where you can ignore any negative outcomes by suggesting it simply means that you didn't sacrifice enough. Keep ramping up the sacrifices and indeed eventually you'll get a good harvest, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the sacrifices you've made.
Yep. We've been using what is akin to an apollo-client hook at work for the past ~9 months or so:

(defn my-component []
(let [user-data (data/pull! :user "{ user { firstName } }")]
(fn []
(if (:loading @user-data)
[:div "Loading..."]
[:div "Hello, "
(get-in @user-data [:data :user firstName]) "!"])))

I'm a bit surprised this pattern isn't more popular; having side-effectful functions return ratoms in a form-2 component seems almost as flexible as Hooks. It seems that most CLJS people try and keep their views more pure, which I think is honestly to their overall detriment. You miss out on the encapsulation and composition that React is espousing.

That being said, I intend to replace reagent soon with just raw React + a few helpers :P

That was my primary takeaway from Mother Night.

I have found the idea that there isn't some authentic, secret me that no one really knows to be very useful in my life. Many of us have large discrepancies between how we see ourselves and how other people see us, and I have seen a lot of people file off the gear teeth in the clockwork of their minds (to use another idea from Vonnegut); fantasizing that there is a "real" us that other people just can't see is a useful tool for doing that kind of work.

As I understand it our human being ness is largely bound to how other folks perceive us, and when we get feedback from others it's important to listen to how they seem to understand us... that's been a hard thing to learn and apply, but it's been useful in changing that feedback into (hopefully positive) changes to how I treat other people.
It's more subtle than that, for example:

I agree. These days I can't even imagine programming in C++ without using STL. It still has some weird ergonomics at some places though. For example - instead of a simple vector.contains(something) we have to write this

std::vector<T> x_Vec;
if (!(x_Vec.find(another_x) == std::vector<T>::npos) {
//some code
}

Also the ugly std::get<N> syntax..

auto x = std::get<0>(myTuple);

Why not -

auto x = myTuple.0

Thank you for the response. The article at hand suggests:

> Performance (beyond the efficiency gained from appropriate algorithms) is going to be dictated from your ability to control what is being processed and when. Maybe I can’t afford a GC in the middle of my frame, maybe to get the entity count I need I really have to maintain data locality.

> ANSI CL doesn’t have many provisions to allow for this kind of control. Certain implementations do have some and you can do a lot with CFFI, but at what point do the restrictions you impose on yourself making another language a better candidate?

This to me suggests that while certain operations may be "close to the metal" as you say, this is not necessarily descriptive of the whole, or perhaps that "close to the metal" may mean a number of different things. Other languages seem to offer more control, perhaps at the expense of abstract expressive power.

Also, while I believe your description of history is accurate as far as it goes, I had rather thought that the Lisp Machines were invented to run Lisp instructions in hardware. I'm not sure if that might argue against your point, nor if those were actually significant in the development of Lisp.

Thank you once again for helping to rectify my ignorance.

That's a fascinating article on the construction of the Empire State Building. Thanks for sharing it.

However, what the article describes is fundamentally a waterfall methodology. The innovative part was breaking the large project into several overlapping stages of parallel projects, but the project management was still much more waterfall than agile.

The waterfall methodology is not a product of "naive fantasies" but of business realities. In many cases changing the plan after you get started is phenomenally expensive. AN agile approach of building three stories and then deciding you want to try a different support structure or to add another sub-basement would be absurd.

We all have a natural bias to assume that people in the past were foolish for not doing things the way we do, but for the most part, they were every bit as smart as we are and were making perfectly rational decisions.

In terms of the pacemaker example, I've never built one myself, but I suspect that the constraints are not only the need for additional testing but that the functionality and hardware itself would require regulatory approval, and so a waterfall approach to the project might make a lot of sense.

The developers could, of course, use an Agile or iterative approach to deliver on those requirements, but I think a waterfall approach might be a better fit for the overall project.
