I'm very much a noob when it comes to Forth and I've asked myself the same question before. I think threaded is generic enough to not necessarily dictate the data structure. It more or less means that a word (if it isn't being defined and added to the dictionary (not dictionary as in Python dictionary, but what they call the list of words in Forth)) it will read from the stack, modify the stack, and then call the next word.

Someone on here or on the Forth subreddit should be able to answer though.

That's not entirely comparable.

For utilities, you always pay much later after it was consumed. At least a whole month usually. It's a fundamental constraint with distributing water and electricity. You're always in debt with the utility provider.

For a newspapers subscription, you always pay in advance. They can cut it anytime. There is no reason for them to give you access if you didn't pay.

The changes were just during the development phase. Should be quite settled now.
I needed something very similar for a project we had a map of users and their blips either needed to have their avatars in the middle and their profile color as the border of the blip or blips for groups of users when zoomed out where the middle of the blip would have the number of users in that cluster.

The way it was solved in the older version of the project which we had to rewrite was that they automatically generated these blips each time a user changed their profile color or avatar and they had no server-side clustering so they'd always send the data for every user for a specific zoom level (which was not very optimal for large numbers of users, needless to say).

So I ended up using a template engine on the front-end for the SVG files. The choice in the ended fell to Nunjucks, since we were already using Symfony with Twig on the back-end and the syntax for Nunjuck is more or less the same. I made a template for the blips that would change either render a cluster marker and expect a user number as a variable or a user marker that would expect a hex color and the URL to a profile photo. Nunjucks took care of the grabbing the template and rendering each blip with the content for LeafletJS.

If I have to call to cancel I usually just make a fraud complaint. It causes more pain to the company in exchange for hassling me this way. I will also never ever EVER use you again if you do this, and I will provide a terrible review of your product to anyone who asks.

Pretty much any kind of slimy "roach motel" sales or customer retention tactic get your company instantly placed in the bottom circle of hell in my mind.
> To me, lying needs heavy justification - on the level of saving lives.

Agreed, and in case someone is looking for scientific justification, you can just look at it as specialized market economy (as quite a lot of things can be). Lying in this case reducing market information, which reduces efficiency. In this case, that translated into you wasting a small amount time and effort pushing a fake button. But multiply it across all the times you do it, and all the people that do it, and it's actually a fairly large drain overall (not to mention the frustration of expecting your actions to matter and them never seeming to).

I think the common refrain against this is that people don't act rationally or in the best interest of the whole in these cases, but I think that's more often just another case of poor market information leading to inefficiency, even if the source is different. The problem with manipulating the market by reducing information even more (deceiving people) is that if it works it likely only works while existing conditions persist, and may become much less useful later as conditions change. I.e. if people were crossing before the button was pressed and the placebo button helped, what happens when crosswalk sings start showing countdowns and people then become accustomed to noting that and waiting for them regardless if there's a button or not? Better information has make the system more efficient... except for those that still waste their time with the buttons that don't do anything, and now the prior strategy to manipulate people is making the system less efficient than if it wasn't present.

Which is all just a really drawn out way of saying and showing that treating people with respect and giving them as much information as possible (and definitely not giving them false information) should lead to better outcomes overall.
The earth doesn't care, so to speak, about whether it's per capita or not, it only cares about the total global output.

The consequence of having 1.4 billion people in your society, is that you don't get to pollute at the rate of a nation with one million people that outputs 10x more pollution per capita.

Is that unfair? No. I don't think per capita equality of pollution is the most important factor in this. As a society China has to bear the consequences of their immense population and its impact on the earth. Pre-emptively I'll note this isn't a defense of any other nation's high per capita pollution output level.

Globally we have to take the China output very seriously, and we can afford to not be nearly so concerned about the 10x output of the one million person nation because it's not a dire threat to the planet (which isn't the same thing as not caring about their output, it's a difference of one threatening human existence and the other not; I'm far more concerned about North Korea's nukes & missiles than the localized authoritarian militia activity in a tiny nation - even though they might both be reprehensible governments, one is far more dangerous).

> Romans did not pave roads all over Europe just to make it more comfortable for pedestrians.

No, they did it because paving makes roads comparatively weather proof and it sucks to try to maintain a continent spanning empire by military force if rain cuts your lines of movement and supply, not for comfort.

The bill approving back-pay for the just-concluded shutdown also covers the remainder of the fiscal year (through September).

That recommendation issue you point out is extremely annoying since YouTube has no way to reverse the order of videos in a playlist. More often than not for some reason Let's Play and other chronological video authors create their playlists in a reverse chronological order, latest first so it's basically impossible to binge them unless you manually click on the next episode yourself.

I wouldn't put it past they NYT to do it. They could say that for privacy reasons the billing department can't view the last time you were logged into your account, and boom, they can argue that if they didn't pursue payment, you could be getting features from your paid account for free.
It sounds like it commits in the foreground, but it can fail due to contention -- in which case nothing happens. So the client might have to retry indefinitely, absent some extra complexity for gaining exclusive access (a lock). It would still have to have a system for retiring transactions, at which point the client knows it went through. You would still have to wait for all the shards to respond.

At least, that's what I think they are describing, it's all a bit hand wavey and suspicious.
I wouldn't exactly call it stigma free to let (much less encourage) kids gamble. There's a difference between acceptance, and anything goes.

> But the company had discovered that more than 9 percent of the money it made from children was being clawed back by the credit card companies.

> A chargeback rate of 1 percent is considered high, and credit card companies such as Visa and Mastercard will put businesses on probation programs for rates consistently that high.

Nine percent chargeback rate. That's just absolutely nuts.

Yes, but it did also facilitate transport of military equipements and commercial goods using wagons.

Sorry, my "just" was not intended to be ironic. Roads were also important for pedestrians.
If you do that, the problem will shift to bouncing people around between two incompatible social and economic systems. "You are now subjects of Canada, until at some indeterminate point in the future, half of you will become Americans. Again."

The land these people live on is not of vital importance to either country. As such, we should be doing right by the people who live on it.

It takes longer, but the best presentation of this kind that I've given was from taking video of a live coding exercise and editing it extensively (removing typos, adjusting speed). Then split it into sections and made a sequence of short clips out of them. Then put that into a presentation with one clip per slide. That way if I was a little slower when talking than planned, the video wouldn't get ahead of me, it would reach the end of the current clip and advance once I brought up the next slide.

It's a lot of work but it comes out looking effortless, and without wasting any of the audience's time.

mbed is great for prototyping. It's basically the Arduino system you would have gotten if Arduino was developed by people who mostly already know what they are doing instead of learning as they go.

Lots of libraries for various sensors and other applications, so if you do early stage development on hardware you can quickly throw prototypes together and not need to deal with sorting through a lot of mediocre Arduino stuff.

YMMV on keeping it for production use. Some parts of it should be fine for some applications. Other things not. I've run into issues with things like threads and timers not always working right for every library, but really that's par for the course on a system of libraries that diverse, and supporting so many different chips.
If the entire world would be emitting like europe or north america do, then we'd be so doomed. Even if europe by then would be zero carbon it wouldn't really matter.

Of course, being the historic polluters, we shouldn't point with fingers here. They do have a right to wealth like any other economy in the world. But I think that wealth + renewable energy sources are possible. China has giant deserts. The only real problem is energy storage, but until a good cheap solution is found, you could just use conventional sources until the night or if there's no sun.

The worst case scenario in any patent fight is you are forced to

A) give some chunk of your profit to someone else while you

B) reallocate development resources to invent something new that lets you keep doing business without relying on the patent

In the end, B) is valuable and A) costs money and they probably cancel out, financially.
If your manufacturing employer consumes steel and that steel is now more expensive it means less of those jobs, not more. You're only pulling money from other US citizens and companies so its not really a gain to the US overall. It increases the cost of US manufactured goods that have to buy tariff laden supplies. This ends up hurting US manufacturing exports over all. All of this assumes we actually do pay for US steel but the reality is we'll just go to the next cheapest supplier which may or may not be local.
We could trade those of course, but we could also connect them.

Solar panel prices tumbled around 30 percent last year after China, the world’s largest producer, cut subsidies to shrink its bloated solar industry, pushing smaller manufacturers to the brink of collapse.

1. Cutting subsidies should raise prices. I guess the subsidy cut could have offset a steeper decline, but the article is full of head-scratchers like this one.

2. When has China ever cut a major subsidy?
Can this be used offline? E.g. sync for collaboration when reconnected.
But what about the province of Sichuan? They have about the same population as Germany. Shouldn't they be allowed to pollute as much under your theory? After all, Germany is simply part of the EU.
Interesting. Makes sense at the low end I guess. The more expensive ones are quite similar to their dedicated servers, which gets you compute as well. So you'd be better off rolling it yourself.
90% seems like a reasonable guess to me.

Briar is good if metadata is a prime concern, but even Matrix, XMPP and email have very similar metadata problems to Signal, plus contact discovery problems as you can't casually gather that your friend or relative is on the platform (phone numbers mostly solve this).
I recall camping on a small island on the Canadian side of the Thousand Islands. We planned to visit a dive site a short boat trip away, on the US side. Since tying up to a mooring was technically "making landfall" in the other country (even though there was no land involved), you had to go two hours out of your way to check in with the border post first.

At the time you could apply for an I-68 pass allowing boaters to report in by phone when doing short, innocuous crossings like this (with some restrictions, i.e. the trip is less than 72 hours and you stay within 25 miles of the shoreline).

It was super convenient. I wonder if a system like that could work here?

"Tariffs help US businesses and american workers. It's why the first major act of congress was a tariff."

Well, one can argue about whether or not tariffs help domestic businesses and workers, but that was not the reason tariffs were one of the first major acts of congress.

It was one of the first acts because tariffs were THE major revenue source for the US federal government. Remember, those were the days before things like income tax.

I was slightly surprised by the author tackling such a time-tested knot as first-time parent decision-making and "OMG how do we make good decisions about _anything_" decision theory.

But then I realized that in an existential periodical like The New Yorker, there just can't be a final answer. More like some observations about various points of view. Which is cool. But the strange definition of an "ambitious parent" toward the end of the article does read a bit more like a misguided knock on ambitious people in general, ever the clowns of the infinite-pie existentialist world view. :-)

As a coach myself, I'm frequently in situations where clients ask me to weigh in on decisions. While I'm happy to do so, even the best news from me--maybe something like, "you are absolutely on the right track, and I know it, and I think you do too" is not nearly as great as a different sort of piece of news: The decision-making sphere _even after becoming a parent_ or making some other drastic decision is so wide open as to be essentially incomprehensible. Our senses so often tell us lies about our actual options. IMO this is why we have cultural archetypes like Doctor Who. People who come in and show us that our reductionist views and the resulting expressions of judgment are often just so childish and self-protecting. Dive in! It'll be OK and we'll just keep working on it. It's not like you make a decision and _then_ stop making other decisions.

And that's another really important thing that's often overlooked in favor of the decision-theory or intuitive spreadsheeting-weighting stuff: You can build a personal model for navigating change. Using such a model, you will simply be more bad-decision-proof on the negative side, and on the upside you'll be more prepared to capitalize on good decisions.

In fact you can in many cases derive from that change-navigation model a sort of time machine. Ziiip! The worst parts of the decision just got undone. Parenting might seem unique in this way because you probably can't undo that child--there's this new dependency that didn't exist before that now demands your attention. But really, here comes Doctor Who! Look, it's a fascinating new world, not a problem. And in balancing the needs of the subject (I don't know what I'm doing!) and the needs of the object (wahhh!) there is an incredible new world teaching us lessons that apply everywhere else.
Hmm, rollback means changing the state to one earlier in time. Sometimes that means reapplying data from the log to achieve a consistent state. After the log is applied there is no evidence of the failure.

What you describe, with correcting entries, I would call a ledger system. This is what banks use.
Moxie was brought on as a contractor at WhatsApp iirc, the code wasn't just purchased. While WhatsApp uses the same cryptographic architecture its likely they didn't just drop in libsignal (as libsignal is set up to tie into Signal's servers, rather than just be an encryption library like OMEMO or olm).

If your looking to build software that integrates with Signal, then libsignal is great (having built a few things with it).
