Scala and Kotlin let you achieve something similar, without requiring a dedicated `yield` keyword, as well as not introducing yet another type of function into the language... Personally, I always found the number of different types of function in Ruby to be bewildering.

Scala even allows multiple blocks to be passed in, used to good effect in the Cats effect `bracket` function, amongst others.
CPython implementation detail vs. Python language feature remains a relatively meaningless distinction.
At this point, if any country or countries with cheap plentiful labor gets it stuff together this could cause a problem.
Thanks for the tip; I did not know that.

This however requires that I eschew all of the security benefits of ChromeOS, falling back to the basic Linux security model to protect my Signal chats from eg any package on PyPi (pip supports full package-provided code exec on every install, without sandboxing). While I will
probably end up doing it regardless, this defeats much of the purpose of having a Chromebook
in the first place.

(also, the apt security model where any repo you have configured can replace any package with a newer version (even packages not first sourced from that repo, like distro stuff) sucks really bad.)
Silicon Valley’s year of reckoning
The next move already happened which was the massive Equifax leak. The government has effectively sheltered them from liability, there was no penalty for their actions. So the next development is really having your life forcibly exposed to scammers and potentially having your identity stolen but you have no means to protect the data. In the past it was like if you were careless you could be violated. Now you're at the mercy of large careless corporations who collect all your most vital information without your permission and carelessly store it almost as if they want it stolen, but ultimately the government shields them from liability such that ultimately the government is using the web as a tool to expose you to scammers even if you don't use the web at all.
Cars don’t try to get away when you go to flip them. They also can’t widen their stance and counter your effort to flip them. Cows do both of those things. Cows don’t sleep standing up, so they definitely know when you are approaching and most will be at least walking away long before you get to them.
The article doesn't mention "ls -1" at all, which has served me quite well in various more or less complex scripts over the years.
I really like the contrast of ease of use vs ease of learning.

However, I don't think designing an interface that is good for both is fundamentally difficult. The problem comes from evolution. In early versions, with only a few features, none of this requires a ton of thought. As features are added, it's rare that an overall UX re-design is undertaken, for a few reasons.

For one, the people working on it and using it day to day are incrementally learning changes, and have time to adjust. In some cases they probably don't even notice the UX learning curve problem as it takes time to become apparent.

For two, existing and power users will freak out if a new release changes shortcut keys or otherwise "moves the cheese". Think of the outrage if vim were to announce "we're changing all the commands to be fully consistent with each other, but it means every command you've spent years memorizing is now incorrect.

Even for the most UX-focused team it's impossible to predict the feature set a product will have in 1, 2, or 5 years, so of course by the time you get there, the UX has issues.
https://clojuredocs.org/ is what I always used. I dislike ruby's docs actually. Rust and Crystal have better UX design for their docs.
Not for those on the receiving end of JDAMs

SpaceX is taking defense money to launch satellites that are primarily for military use in guiding platforms that deliver things to lethal terminal effect. That's just as martial as Raytheon building the Tomahawk guidance module.

Thought experiment: would SpaceX take Russian money to launch GLONASS birds? I'd wager not because it would be 'immoral'.
Languages without full blown union types feel so impoverished. With good language typing support (including flow typing), optionals feel quite redundant.
New Data Shows Why Van Gogh Changed His Color Palette
Congratulations on the launch! I’ve heard great things about Outlands and have been meaning to log in and check it out.

It’s been a long time since I was involved in the RunUO community, but as I recall, one of the biggest limiting factors on scalability was activated NPC/AI. Range queries and movement were the two big pieces, so I’m sure your improvements would have a big impact there.

We ran load tests on Hybrid with over 10k clients (not just idle, mind you, but moving and talking and whatever else we were able to throw in to the load generators), and the server was able to keep up just fine. That was on mid-2000 era hardware too, but then again, RunUO wasn’t built to really take full advantage of multiple cores.

There are a lot of things I’d do differently if I had the opportunity to go back and redesign it from the ground up, but the simple single-threaded concurrency model is not something I’d want to change without great care. For all the scalability problems RunUO had, I think the concurrency model contributed significantly to its approachability, and I’d be very cautious of making any changes which would complect game logic with concurrency control.

I’ve heard quite a few stories (and now I’m hearing a few more) of folks whose path into software development started by tinkering around with RunUO. In fact, a few of my closest friends (and some now colleagues) took that same path. I am filled with a weird mix of pride and abject humility whenever I have the opportunity to see how the project has touched people all over the world, often in ways I could never have anticipated.

Please do share your changes back. I’d love to take a look at them, even after so many years.

GPS is lofted and maintained by the DoD. It's primary purpose is military. It would not exist as a free service without DoD's investment. Other satellite constellations with far fewer sats cost considerable amounts of money to use, and few of our modern applications for GPS would be very appealing at $xxx a month. Civillian GPS is a generous charity from US taxpayers to the rest of the world

I think it is mostly about the path the rocket is allowed to travel during launch. In the US, for equatorial orbits, one launches from Cape Kennedy to the east, and for polar from Vandenburg to the south. Maybe off angle launches aren't allowed so a lot of correction is needed after the satellite reaches orbit to get to an inclined orbit? I am not an orbital mechanics specialist or space launch planner. Corrective comments are encouraged.
Curious how you manage this. Do you use feature detection and then apply a class to <body>?
2mm is fine and normally within measurement error.

However, buildings should be designed to not fail disproportionately, so there isn't sudden failure such as like with the Miami footbridge. Design errors can lead to sections being over reinforced or other issues which could lead to collapse with little warning, which is what the concern will be.

Edit : also with cracks it depends on where they are and what causes with them. Cracks are normal for concrete and the size should be controlled through detailing. Where cracks are larger than this it can indicate whether there are issues in bending/shear. Structural design also often takes into account behavior of cracked concrete.

The positions are, I believe, the positions of the grid lines, not the grid columns.
Yes and no.

Yes, the US has a ton of debt, and we definitely need to reduce our accumulation of it soon. No in that the US debt is out in the open, as is our growth numbers.

The important thing with debt is the growth rate in interest payments. Those can go up by changing rates, and by changing levels of debt. As long as your GDP out-grows your interest payments, there is no reason to stop. It's once your interest payments start outgrowing your economy (and thus your ability to tax & cover the payments) then you end up in a world of hurt.

With China, there are two distinct possibilities:

1. They're lying about their GDP growth.

2. They're lying about their debt.

They're been accused of 1 for a long time. There are some researchers using light emission to estimate GDP, who claim that China's GDP might be 25% lower than they claim [0]. Meanwhile they might have up to $5.8 trillion in debt tied up in their local government. This doubles the "official" debt level of the Chinese government, a massive level of fraud if true.

Combined, the Chinese debt to GDP ratio might be as high as 150%. This is alarmingly high, much much higher than the US has ever reached. Keep in mind that China currently is paying a higher interest rate on its federal debt too compared to the US.

I believe it's talking about the vertical lines, not the column space between them. So the "+1" is because it's talking about the rightmost edge of what you're calling a "column".

here's an image that may explain better. I numbered the vertical edges, start is green, end is red.

That's interesting because OpenBSD was a disaster on my ThinkPad. Dismal battery life, suspend/resume didn't work, CPU throttling was abhorrent, etc.
> But this isn't a dichotomy, isn't it? The USA is big, we could have had Silicon Valley and Detroit at the same time.

That is exactly what comparative advantage implies. The US cannot be great at Silicon Valley and Detroit (well, the manufacturing bits) at once.

> But we're still designing better products, we're just building them in China and in the process giving away a cut that used to go to American workers. I don't think this analogy fits.

We are designing better products because of globalism. If we cut off free trade with the rest of the world (protectionism), either our designs or our manufacturing quality would stagnate compared to the rest of the world.
I tried out bcachefs in the recent past but... Well... for now it's only a classic, usable, stable fs... All the nice features are only promises in development, no snapshot, no replication, nothing is there only a stable fs that seems no different than ext...

On license of course there is a problem but if we have zfs ported well... I think it can be circumvented, only I fear that in GNU/Linux land (especially -Linux part) there are too many people that do not consider at all modern needs, most of them are programmer's with no sysadmining background, they do not even understand why we desperately need new storage and "Big&Powerful" are absolutely happy because actual paleolithic storage solution means business opportunities... Remember Andrew Morton with it infamous "rampant layer violation" against zfs or NetApp that ask SUN "to unfree" zfs to avoid disrupting storage market...

IMO we have lost after Ubuntu ditch desktop the opportunity of a generic end-users GNU/Linux desktop and due to hw&sw evolution commercial-side we desperately need to innovate again as a FOSS community, DragonflyBSD is a very little substantial single-man-show project but it innovate, GNU keep innovate a bit despite a super-slow evolution and GuixSD is IMO the future of any OS, like it's "father" NixOS, the first IaC-builtin OSes in the world, but we need more, and with more manpower instead of wasting energy in evanescent crappy web-derived tech from GnomeShell extensions to Electron-based (cr)apps.

Storage in that sense is the basis since on storage we can design package managers and init systems, so in turn installers and in turn the rest of the OS. Having a modern, powerful storage, something like Plan9 propose years ago, something like Hammer, zfs, nilfs2, stratis etc are a thing that need to evolve and spread in GNU/Linux world or we can't really evolve...
So the signals from these GPS satellites are not available for public use? Because if they are then I would say it is hard to really say what is the primary use. The value of GPS for civilian use in the US economy is really high at this point.

Sort of like the US interstate highway system. Military use got the budget to build it, secondary use ends up being more important.
China isn't that cheap anymore actually, a lot of their value in certain areas is that they have been doing them for a long time so are pretty good at it now.
How's the EFI support on this in comparison to other BSDs?
Interesting point. Ruby has an Enumerable module, but these methods were added only to Array. Since the main native collections (Set/Hash/Array) all support them now, they could probably be added to Enumerable in the future, with class-specific optimizations if necessary.
A major library I use doesn’t work on 3.7 yet, so still stuck on 3.6. It’s sure nice to get bug fixes and security while I wait for the PR of my library to get merged.

Very rare everyone can jump versions especially when there are syntax changes. In my case it’s around imports.
No, its primary purpose is civilian. Its original and occasional purpose is military, sure, but as I mentioned, it is used far more widely now, by several orders of magnitude. Its military applications are so eclipsed now by non-war-related uses that the military origins are practically irrelevant.
Vandenberg is mostly used for polar orbit launches because it's a path over the ocean. Not possible to launch eastbound from there because first stages would fall on populated areas. This is also the reason why the Israeli space program launches into rare retrograde orbits (opposite direction of earth's rotation), westbound over the ocean, because they don't want to drop 1st stages on their eastern neighbours.
Beneficial civilian use of GPS is orders of magnitude more common than military uses. Military systems also never require GPS, because you can’t count on the enemy not to jam the signal or shoot down the satellites, so there are always alternate navigation methods. For example, JDAMs also use inertial navigation.

I would not want to work on a weapons system but I’d have no problem working on something like GPS.

I see no evidence for the conclusion to your thought experiment. You can’t just make up a conclusion to support your argument, it needs to actually be based on something.
Well, he has started several lobbying companies and been a lobbyist for a number of paying clients, so I think that the meaning of the word 'lobbyist' is still safe.
Mostly no, though I am doing some loss-harvesting: selling stocks to take a loss and buying highly-correlated equivalent stocks or ETFs, so that I don't lose out on gains (because timing when to buy back is a bad idea). e.g., selling INTU and buying XLK. Something like http://www.sectorspdr.com/sectorspdr/tools/correlation-track... is useful to find high (0.7 or greater) correlations.
Thanks, very interesting. He is right, the Rust borrow checker can not deal with arbitrary graphs and she added a memory management layer on top of the Rust one. However, you would have to do the same in C++. It is an interesting obervation. I spoke to Benedikt Meurer from the Google V8 team recently and he pointed out the same for Javascript Engines. If you do not have DAGs, Rust can‘t help you with safety. (at least it can not prevent use after free) I still like the whole ECS idea and it makes sense for me that using ECS in Rust will provide a performant and clean architecture.
Typically, they will be linear on the combined size of the arrays. - for example is implemented by putting all elements of the right side in a hash map and then iterating through the first one and deleting all that can be found in the hash.

This is an excellent question. I've always wanted to know how the 140 is calculated and what assumptions and model it brings to the table.
The latest generation of GPS satellites has more antennas and more powerful transmitters. This improves signal reception and reduces the impact of jamming.
It's a surprisingly useful feature.

It might well have just been your English. Communicating ideas in a second language can be very difficult!

The way I see it, there is an asymmetry of power. Governments are able to harm individuals far more than individuals can harm governments. This needs to be taken into account when we talk about "freedom" online.
It's not just a privacy issue, though. It's a matter of public policy. Shifting the enforcement responsibility from the government (who must be diligent and only silence certain types of speech) to the platform/intermediary company (who will take the quickest/easiest approach to compliance) has a silencing effect on all users.
>the welfare of society outweighs the freedom of the individual

That's one of the supporting principles of all totalitarian regimes. The problem is who defines what's the "welfare of society" (Normally is "the Party" or "the Leader").

Individual freedom is an inalienable right, and should not be curtailed, unless you're physically hurting others or infringing on their own freedom.
My first experience with an antidepressant left me feeling quite ill. Ironically, its one of the ones that gets prescribed often because it has little side-effects. Turned out that this wasn't true, and I was one of the small percentage who experienced Discontinuation Syndrome (https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/370338).

Having such a bad reaction to it lead me down a wild goose chase toward finding out the way my body processes serotonin ala a gene test, helped me figure out what was causing the depression to begin with.

Another reply here talks about how it seems to be a crapshoot for finding effective drugs and a lot of trial and error. I think that there may be promise in doing drug targeting genetic tests and possibly microbiome sampling as a way to help people avoid the run-around. In my case, knowing this ahead of time would have helped me avoid a lot of suffering and 3 years of obsessively searching for answers.
What is anyone going to do about it?
What if I can’t afford to get off work to go to these zoning meetings in the middle of the day? What then?

> more difficult to write high-performance code on GPUs. But with so much more raw power on GPUs

This seems two sides of the same coin; of course you can extract higher performance with lower coupling.

I don’t think the Xeon Phi was given a fair chance; they did two iterations on the idea before canning it. NVidia has been doing video cards forever.
I build commercial applications built on the FastAI language model (similar to this) in a legal domain.

It’s a per sentence matching task, and it increased the accuracy ~5% (!!) over a tuned FastText classifier, which in turn was much better than a traditional n-gram based classifier.

The accuracy is now good enough (and human like enough) that trained humans generally disagree with each other when trying to correct its “errors”.

Training set size was ~1000 labeled examples.

> eternally bemused over people trying to bolt keyboards to tablets - "you wanted a laptop"

That's right. I want an iOS laptop. A Bluetooth keyboard with an iPad Pro is just about perfect for me.

It all comes down to what applications you need to run and the hardware that supports it. I have a laptop that I'm using for Ruby on Rails right now (just learning it). But it doesn't run Procreate or support anything like the Apple Pencil. So for that application, the iPad is perfect. I have a Kindle Paperwhite that I read on. I used to have a Windows desktop that I would play games on, but now I do all of that on a PS4. These are all different computers for different things.
Private groups are just smaller. Cities are larger and have more things going on.

I can go live in this building or that. I can go live in this city or that.

Can I buy an apartment in a building and own it 100% without the building having any say?

What if the building is a condo? I own the apartment, in a sense. I bought it. But I still have to abide by the rules of the building. Does this make apartment housing not a market?

You’d have to define the term “free market” before others can independently verify whether something is a “free market” or not.

It seems to me that if you rigorously defined your terms and entertained direct analogies between what privately administered jurisdictions and publicly administered ones, you’d find there isn’t anything uniquely special about a democratic city government vs disneyworld’s management.
