I don't see the problem with translating terms that have a strong visual component, especially if it's an introductory text. It also depends on how old the text is (fundamental concepts don't change much) and if the current nomenclature has already been established back then.

The term "Keller" BTW is not a bad translation of "stack" but an original German term by one of the inventors of the stack: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stapelspeicher#Geschichte

It seems to me that Stephenson just likes East Asia a lot, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out he lived there. E.g. Cryptonomicon has detailed geography and economics of the region in play, many of the other novels have events set in there―and in the pretty recent “Reamde” he again spends plenty of story time in Xiamen and some in Manila, even though the book is set in the present and there's little cyberpunkish about it.

I'm actually sort of learning from these books about the vibe of the region, some scraps of relevant history, and the area's economic relations with the US. Because otherwise it's mostly fantasy land to me.

Efficiency is important, but if all the benefits of the efficiencies accrue to the rich, we're not "all better off".

Plus, GDP per capita doesn't capture some very important aspects of of what makes people live better lives, eg job security, not being afraid of health issues, leisure time, etc.
The article goes on to talk about Jsonnet, which takes the exact approach you describe - it generates JSON by aiming to be a "templated JSON" where the templating involves generating semantic objects, not strings.

Here's an example (adapted from some real-world code) where I specify the k8s cpu limit in one place, and then look up that info in several other places to avoid needing to change multiple values later:

{
local container = self,
requests: {cpu: 5.5, memory: "2G"},
limits: container.requests + {memory: "4G"},
environment: [
{
name: "NUM_THREADS",
value: std.toString(std.ceil(container.requests.cpu)),
},
],
}

Note how I can patch the container.requests object with an alternate memory limit, and how I can calculate an expression for the NUM_THREADS value in order to automatically set it to ceil() of the requested cpu.

German here.

I've never heard German words for any concepts like that outside of university.

You'll usually get by just pronouncing those words a bit more German or replacing the ones that are very close to German words with the German one (e.g. cryptography -> Kryptographie but "public key cryptography" -> Public Key Kryptographie). If you want to "pass" while speaking German but need to use English jargon, just use a slight German accent and nobody will bat an eye.

Fun fact: most Latin-based English words work in German as long as you pronounce them like a German would, at worst you'll just sound a bit stilted or old-fashioned.

Advertisers on Google beware, Google is inflating hits using Chrome browser
Recently, I bought a stock android phone Nokia 6.1 plus. It has chrome pre-installed.
When I type any url in the search bar, it shows me search results even if the URL is correct.
This is the default behaviour and there is no way of switching it off in chrome. The only way to skip this is, if you put "/" after typing the complete url.
While auto-complete, it will not show this "/" character even if you have entered the same url before, thus making it cumbersome for the user and forcing the user to go to a google search page and then clicking on the search result to finally go to the url.
Many website pay google to show ads if any of the keywords are matched by the user and the url is a perfect match. Generally users tend to click on the first available result not noticing the "Ad" keyword and as a result free money to google.
I think it is unethical and unfair to advertisers (websites) as they will pay the price of the click even though the customer intended to visit the website in the first place.

>We have to, first and foremost, improve things for our users. That means a radical focus on improving the relevance, quality, and accuracy [...] //

You admitted you don't have a longitudinal view. Results really are less accurate, less relevant; we're not hating on G.

Google appear to have decided to target people who don't know what they're looking for (accuracy and relevance aren't so important), and target natural answers to natural questions rather than focused, targeted search (which was what made its name).

It's like if Nike switched to making clogs but they looked just like their traditional trainers.

Now, that's sorta fine, but it's tiresome as hell to have to alter search settings every.. single.. time.., why am I logged in again? And, still not find what you're looking for, but instead some curated set of mass media pages that only have a cursory relationship to your keywords.

You can read whatever guidelines you like, but "clogs" aren't going to work like "trainers".

This is, unfortunately, an overly simplistic model. Everything can be manipulative if done to an extreme extent.

Repealing Legal Tender Law in Switzerland
Native German speaker: Most of the time we think it's just funny if you get the gender wrong, no harm done. As you said, there's very few instances where there are words changing meaning if you swap out the article. And even then, it's ususally obvious from context. (Der Schild => the shield; Das Schild => the sign). I do get the frustration though, I had to learn French in school and I'm currently learning Swedish (I'd consider their en and ett words something conceptually similar to the gender thing).

I also agree about mapping the prepositions, but I think that applies to learning other languages in general, or at elast, more than just the pairing German/English. I can only compare it to English => Swedish (I had not interest in learning French as a language, I was more trying to get a passing grade in it. And I do have to learn Swedish from the English perspective, because Duolongo doesn't offer a German => Swedish course), but it's the same thing
In case you don't realize: If they substitute something and you don't want it, you can just ask the delivery person to take that item back. I've not done that often, but when I have they've never had an issue doing it.

(the real big thing for me is that I have a weekly shop set up, and if I forget to look on their site, they'll send me something based on a tolerably ok prediction of what I usually buy; it far from perfect, but good enough that I occasionally doesn't bother log in on purpose, because I know it will be close enough to what I need to be ok)
It also shifts with time. 30 years back the prejudice would have been flipped. As a white immigrant you would've probably been a low educated russian or polish worker, while with a taint you would've been Italian and much more respected.

It's the general bad practice of putting individuals into larger groups with a stigma based on visual appearance.

I think a lot of the resentment about bad German skills in my generation (80s/90s) comes from 10+ year residents and 2nd generation immigrants not capable of speaking our language correctly.

Not really:

> but maybe not more than a larger serving of Spinach, which is considerably cheaper

While 100g of spinach almost has as much protein as 100g of milk, it's also 3 times more expensive.

> The theme of this branch of the thread is that 'poor people can't afford to eat healthy' due to things like cheaper fast food' etc. - which is rubbish.

I don't disagree with you.
No.

And there alternatives. The best known is probably Revel: https://revel.github.io

For a doctrine (ORM) alternative you have for example https://github.com/jinzhu/gorm

The point about Go; using those types of tools is generally frowned upon in the community. It's overkill for most (micro)services.

But few gophers build a full-stack website in a single application.

I'm a gopher; I wouldn't want to use Revel or Gorm. I feel I'd be using the wrong tool for the job.
I'd more likely use Django or Symfony when I'd need to build a full-stack SSR.

If a backend API is used by different clients (mobile apps, SPA, servers, ...) using a full-stack SSR framework like Symfony or Django doesn't make much sense anymore. You wouldn't use 90% of the framework's features. It feels like bloat.

But many websites don't need to serve different clients.

The author's decision to go from Golang to PHP makes perfect sense if he's building SSR websites.
In the simple example you give the genders don't matter and germans will quickly correct you but I'd still advise everyone to just learn the article with the noun and remember them as one unit. While German children don't learn this way it's more efficient for adult foreigners and helps a lot with more advanced grammar later on.
So better smoke detectors and better sprinkler systems, in other words.

I'm using this application: https://github.com/aarmea/WindowGroomer

sadly abandoned it seems, and not well-known, but is well-working in both win7 and win10. With a keyboard shortcut it's easy to resize any window and at the same time position them on the screen.

Also makes it easy to "save" windows that have slightly bad size or position so it's hard to position the mouse pointer in the resize corner.

On my wish list is that after bringing up the application, instead of using the mouse to select grid, I should be able to use eg arrow keys and shift to select them.

> 1) I suggest this is not blackmail in the legal sense. AMI, whatever they are - are not idiots. AMI probably knows better than any company in the world what is going to constitute 'newsworthy' items, at least in the legal sense. To suggest they would do something blatantly illegal and criminal in an email of all things ... I think does not make sense.
> They do this sort of thing for a living.

...and have been caught before: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/12/national-enq...

I really think you give them too much credit. This is a publication known to operate somewhere on the spectrum between shady and illegal. This latest development fits the picture perfectly.

> 2) This is a back room deal, a pretty normal one. They are asking Bezos to state: "have no knowledge or basis for suggesting that AMI’s coverage was politically motivated or influenced by political forces."

“Asking“. If it is just a normal deal, not amounting to extortion, and I disagree with that, it‘s off the table now. After Bezos‘ letter a statement anywhere close to or resembling what AMI is asking is now meaningless.

> 3) If those pics are published, the 'courage' of Bezos' ostensible principled stance are not going to be rewarded. The #1 thing Bezos will be known for, for at least a decade are his 'dick picks' and that he was 'cheating on his wife and kids'.

Maybe 20 years ago. In today’s climate this story hardly fills a full news cycle. Furthermore sexting probably doesn’t lead to the same public shock and outrage it might have decades or just years ago, as it’s pretty much become a relatable thing large parts of the population have taking part in at some points in their life. It’s rather tame by today’s standards, where presidents fuck porn stars while their third(?) wife cares for the newborn and Jefrey Epstein gets a slap on the wrist for molesting and raping hundreds of children: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article220097825.html

> 4) I respect his choice - but - he has a company to worry about. If this blows up, and it starts to affect his 'perceived credibility' - what is he going to tell his board? He had a 'truce agreement' on the table which seemed ostensibly reasonable (assuming Bezos doesn't have some crazy evidence that he really needs to provide the feds?). The pragmatic choice would have been to make a truce with his warring entities.

Playing along with AMI‘s demands is what actually would have affected Bezos‘ and The Post‘s credibility. His choice, even if bold, is the natural and obvious option.
Frankly, I don‘t know what AMI was thinking.

I've recently settled on typescript object literals for creating complex config files.

- supports type constraints.

- serialises to JSON easily.
I haven't lived in Germany, but I've travelled there for work, and I've found that getting genders wrong confuses Germans. Or at least, German waiters.

Also pro-tip - when asking if a sauce is "hot", don't use "heiss" which literally means hot, the word you want is "scharf", spicy. Because "heiss" is slang for "horny" and if you phrase it wrong, you end up asking the Afghani waiter if the sauce is horny, and he looks a little aghast.

I agree with point 3 though, German makes a lot of sense when you learn how the words combine together.
Agreed wholeheartedly. The whole concept of a graphic designer creating static images of layouts, which are then translated into code by a programmer, should die in fire. It's just another instance of nontechnical people writing specs for applications and having programmers translate them into code. UI/UX design is not graphic design or programming. It is both and neither.

I agree. People will understand you, but they will also judge you. In my experience, Germans are much more ready to notice "wrong German" than English speakers do with "wrong English". This is just a sad fact.

My aunt, an American who has lived in German-speaking countries for 10+ years and can say almost everything she'd want to tells me she still gets treated less seriously because of subtle mistakes like that in her speech.

It's hard to say if the article is tautological, or if there's a fundamental (and common) confusion here about what the state is in relation to capitalism. The modern state co-evolved with capitalism, and as a result, it's institutions are generally what capitalism needs to survive and prosper. The point about a welfare state is not really whether or not one is necessary for capitalism; the point is more that it is necessary for a specific type of capitalism.

For instance, Toyota wouldn't work without a welfare state, because you need the kind of social stability a welfare state creates to preserve and shepherd a really skilled workforce. Ford, on the other hand, neither needs nor desires a particularly skilled workforce, but rather leans more heavily on intense capital investment (automation) - so an expanded welfare state, necessitating higher taxes, is a net loss for Ford, since they aren't all that interested in stability, but they are interested in low taxes.

Making arguments about whether or not people like or support free markets is kind of missing the point. The point is, certain business models are predicated on certain forms of social organization. That's why Google is based in Silicon Valley, not in Shanghai, and why Foxconn is in China, not Japan.
Always great articles!! Thanks :)
