Yes, and did you notice that I didn't object at all to the part of your post that corrected the "escaping Earth's gravity" misconception? That's because there was nothing wrong with it. I only objected to the part of your post that was incorrect.

> he knows nothing about orbital mechanics and, most likely, next to nothing about physics in general.

In which case the last thing you should want to do is to tell him things about physics that are wrong. Which is why I corrected the wrong thing you told him.

> There is no vernacular in my post.

My objection had nothing whatever to do with your choice of words. You made a factually incorrect statement and I corrected it. That's all there is to it.

I don’t think it was an attack on your use of language. Even if most probably don’t agree that you are helping illiteracy by alternative use of well defined concepts.

It’s factually wrong to say that the net force is zero at the peak, when what is zero, is the vertical speed.

What was questioned was the feeling of weightlessness. You imply that weightlessness is only felt at the peak of the parabolic path. When the ball leaves the throwers hand, the only force, disregarding air resistance, acting on the ball is the force of gravity, until it hits the ground. Someone inside the ball will feel weightlessness all the way from leaving the throwers hand to hitting the ground. There is no special feeling at or around the peak.
Interesting. The quest to choose the right lambda seems obvious to me : the two variables R and D don't have the same unit/dimension so basically the lambda means "how much are we ready to give up on bitrate to compensate for this kind of distortion" because the lambda from a physical point of view is a conversion from one unit to the other

Can anyone explain to me how they are able to offer 3% when 1 year treasury notes are less than 3% right now?

If they use longer term bonds, they will face potential losses as those tend to be volatile relative to interest rate changes. If they use higher-yielding corporate bonds, they face default risk.

There's something critical that's not being explained here which is important, and I wouldn't want to put my money in something like that without understanding it thoroughly.
Do you have any specific cases of how much the GDPR has cost to some small companies? My experience (I work in the EU) has been that the GDPR has not particularly difficult or expensive - and in particular it was easier than ISO9001, which we also implemented at a small company -, but I don't have any hard numbers.
> So what exactly constitutes an error then?

It's standard contract law. Every time you purchase anything, you're making a legally binding contract, even buying a sandwich at a shop. Under centuries old contract law, there must be a "meeting of the minds", both parties must understand what they're getting into. If one person makes a obvious mistake (e.g., pricing gas at $0.02/gallon), there is clearly no meeting of the minds, the contract is void, and the seller can ask the buyer for their money back.
Sure, he's talking about C and FFI though. You can use bitflags but you still need to convert at language boundaries.
That was, after all, how something like A Modest Proposal was structured. You were supposed to believe the author was serious at first. That's an important element to a lot of satire.
I don't think so, at least not by default.
> Can anyone explain to me how they are able to offer 3% when 1 year treasury notes are less than 3% right now?

Easy. They're making a calculated decision to lose money on the interest rate, in order to build a relationship and make money on other services.

I work at a medium sized company and know they had to retain a few lawyers at $500/hr to explain what changes had to be made to be GDPR compliant. The changes themselves were not too hard, but hiring the lawyer and knowing what changes to make were.
Your comment seems to be a slightly clumsy way of saying "I don't know much about this area of software design, please tell me more", so I'll respond to it in that spirit.

Firstly my terse hand wavey statement was at least clear on the fact that it was talking about communication between services. It said nothing about web browsers or any other human interface.

But since this relatively narrow context is clearly the one which you can most relate to, I'll stay within it. If you think about it, the HTTP request/response cycle is actually an illusion of synchronous communication on top of a transport mechanism which is fundamentally asynchronous. It's an abstraction layer which shields you from the complexities of asynchronous communication. Broadly speaking this is known as the [request/response](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request%E2%80%93response) pattern.

HTTP by no means the only implementation of the request/response pattern. Even in asychronous messaging systems it's not unusual to see it implemented - https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/patterns/messa....

But request/reply is just one of the patterns which exists in the realm of asynchronous communication. There are other, much more common patterns such as send/receive and publish/subscribe. Exploring these patterns opens up whole new approaches to software design.

I wholeheartedly recommend the book [Enterprise Integration Patterns](https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/) by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf. It's quite old now but is still the best and most complete introduction to asynchronous design.

An alternative perspective is from the viewpoint of [Command Query Separation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command%E2%80%93query_separati...), and it's relative at the architural level, [Command Query Responsibility Segregation](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CQRS.html).

It's worse, things like the Gimp and most most other major user facing linux applications have a history of also being built for windows and mac os. E.g. I regularly use Darktable on my mac and with the last release they also started supporting windows builds. Why not? The more users the better from their point of view.

Linux has a software packaging issue. There are several so-called package managers and they basically have overlapping goals and they all suck from an end user perspective. On Ubuntu when you do an apt-get install darktable, you pull in a gazillion of packages. Everything and the kitchen sink, basically. On a mac, I drag the darktable.app file to the applications after I download it. And it runs. Exact same software. It's a 217MB self contained package. There are no software conflicts. Apple designed the way that stuff works last century when they were designing OS X and wanted to keep the simplicity of how software installations worked on OS 9. The disk usage is a non issue There are no dependencies to manage. This stuff works across major versions of OS X even. Package managers don't solve a problem real users have.

The existence of package managers led to what we now call distributions, which made a lot of sense in the early nineties when slackware came in the form of 27 disks (been there, done that) but not this century. No two distributions are the same. They each need to test and integrate the same software to work in their ecosystem. Even major versions of the same distribution tend to be very different. I personally think Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. have no business whatsoever acting as a gatekeeper here and I tend to think of them more as an obstacle then as an enabler. E.g. I know the Darktable people are preparing a 2.6 release (awesome stuff). I'd like to get a binary package from them as soon as they release it. I don't see what value Ubuntu doing the same months (optimistic?) later adds. Why wait? Their need to test before they can integrate is self inflicted. It's a problem they have yet to solve.

Flatpak and similar solutions are sort of aiming to solve this for linux. But standards are lacking, progress is slow, and this stuff is nowhere close to being standardized. So, again fragmentation. Compare that to the docker eco system. Most custom stuff you deploy to a server comes as a docker image. And you can run those on many different operating systems. This kind of OS neutral way of packaging software needs to start extending to desktop software. We need Docker for end user applications.
Can you expand on why you believe ModelCluster to be a bad idea?
There are some convincing rationales [1]. In short, they chose to trade-off warm-up time and (probably) base line performance for implementation complexity and peak performance after warming up. I'm pretty much amazed that this idea does seem to work somehow.

> Jailtime? The cost-benefit analysis doesn't support that, prison time is expensive and petty theft doesn't really cause that much damage.

You're not considering deterrence. Sure, the cost/benefit of an individual does not support jailing a small-time thief. However, other potential thiefs may be deterred from committing the crime in the first place. This aggregate level of crime reduction often does justify itself in a cost/benefit analysis.

> in this regard everything is completely cogent and clear description of the forces (har har) in play.

Not everything you said, no. That's why I objected. If you want more detail, you said:

> The ball's trajectory will be a parabola. And at the highest point of that parabola the net vertical force on the ball is zero. It's where the force you exerted on it to send it up, and the force of gravity pulling it down eventually reach an equilibrium. Something inside of that ball would experience 0g at the moment when it was at its parabolic peak.

Actually, the net force on the ball (disregarding air resistance) is the same throughout the entire trajectory once it leaves your hand. (Here I'm taking the Newtonian view that considers gravity to be a force.) That's why the ball continuously accelerates downward by the same amount throughout the entire trajectory once it leaves your hand--which it has to in order for the trajectory to be a parabola. The force you exert on it to throw it upward stops as soon as it leaves your hand, so the only force thereafter is gravity. And since the force of gravity is not felt, the ball is in free fall, feeling 0 g, for the entire parabola.

So the part of your post that I quoted was not a "completely cogent and clear description of the forces"; it was a wrong description of the forces. That's why I corrected it.
Thanks for sharing, this kind of information is really rare and useful because A LOT of (techincal) people just don't understand PKI and certificates properly.

Wealth is probably the immediate cause, but in time, it seeps into the mentality of a people. The result is a society where trust in other people is low, everyone treats everyone else like they are out to cheat you, have little civic spirit and don't want to spend energy for the betterment of the whole. They would vote with whomever gives them bigger short term gains, damn with the future and consequences, other people will inherit them. It's hard to turn a mentality around, you just have to wait for older people to die and be replaced.

Functional Design Patterns – Relating Haskell Typeclasses to Design Patterns
What's interesting is that every time the topic comes up, you get Europeans who complain about the service in the US and Americans who complain about the service in Europe.

I'm on the European side of things so I do not want to be approached while eating. I want to flag the waiter whenever I want something and I absolutely hate fake small talk in order to drive the tip up. It feels so artificial and not genuine (and happened often enough in the US).

I do like small talks with waiters that are genuine but having the possibility of a tip kind of destroys that.

To be fair though, waiters in touristy places everywhere suck. So that might also be the issue if you went to a tourist hole instead of a restaurant for locals.
