On monopoly: I don't really understand the surprise the article seems to show on this topic.

> Most monopolies or duopolies develop over time, and have been considered dangerous to competitive markets; now they are sought after from the start and are the holy grail for investors.

It's not now that they're sought, it's always been that way. Because that's literally the way a business wins this game. That's the holy grail, literally the driver behind competitiveness - the desire to monopolize a market, so that you can comfortably do whatever you want, and earn whatever money you need. That's the very carrot society uses to create entrepreneurs - the name of the game, from society's POV, is to get people working towards monopoly, creating value at low prices in the process, and once the winner is about to emerge, to pull the rug out from under them. The game is a lie, winners can not be allowed. That's the market way to prosperity.

The only thing that's changed is that some people are now not afraid to publicly say they're seeking monopoly. But they've always been seeking that.

RE your comment, I sort-of agree. I strongly agree with the observation that I explicitly do not want to have 4-5 taxi apps on my phone, and my life would be much happier if I could just use one. Similarly, I'd prefer to have just one app for public transit, just one app for maps/navigation, and preferably integrate all three categories into single super-app, whose sole purpose is to help me get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. But that's more of an UX issue.

And it wouldn't have to be one app. Just one per user. In a perfect world, all those services - mapping, taxis, public transport - would be available through open APIs, and you could use free or commercial super-apps interchangeably. Services would be serving you, proxied by your super-app, instead of serving you on a plate to their investors. Alas, most companies seem hell-bent on capturing all the value they produce - they have this kind of greed that ruins things. I know that market pressure sort-of forces this to happen, but I wish there was a way to correct this.

Google Godel's incompleteness theorem.

In a nutshell, if you can mathematically prove a certain degree of soundness of your code, you have not done anything to show your code does what it is supposed to do.

Basically, you could be doing wasted work to satisfy your compiler, and have made zero progress in solving your problem, because that's not what the type system does.

Dynamical languages focuses on solving problems of human beings. The human beings' requirements are often inherently arbitrary, logically unsound, or even self-contradictory. Shoehorning a type system in there often serves to make solving human's problem harder. Consequently, in practice, most popular programming languages are dynamic. The current craze with types is just a fad, in my opinion.
I didn't say that -- it's obvious when you consider that a large chunk of the federal budget is entitelement spending.

You're confusing two separate concepts. The relative ROI of federal income tax has no bearing on the federal government subsidizing state income/property taxes. Both can be true: the federal government can be subsidizing the state budget while simultaneously taking more than it gives from taxpayers.
please don't take this the wrong way but I'm almost more excited to read blog posts about your process and what you've learned than I am for the eventual product, or language used to create the product (though I am excited for both of those!). reading experiences people had trying crazy new stuff is more interesting than results of trying crazy new stuff imo

It is, but Lisp did have it first, even if not through Racket.
One thing about some insects - I used to have fish in an aquarium that were large enough to eat crickets in one bite, and every single insect I caught in our home and put in the water also had parasitic worms that tried to escape the host insect immediately when it realized the insect was in water - these parasitic worms seem to take up most of the insects abdomen. This might not be a problem in non tropical parts of the world, but it's like a horror movie in miniature.

I think you should have a discussion section where you talk about potential implications (possible password leaks via S3).
You're right. I glazed right over that. No offense intended.
Fried spiced bugs are tasty. Raw bugs not so much. I liked fried scorpio. Raw cricket, taste like crap.

I guess if you take grass, deep fry it and put cummin on it, it tastes ok too.

You can eat a cucumber, a carrot, an apple or a steak raw. Even things you need to cook, such as wheet or potatoes, taste alrigh by just being boiled in water.

I've had a relatively high degree of proficiency with other languages by several accounts, including Java, Scala, and JavaScript. Yet I've observed empirically that I am usually much more productive in Clojure for the sort of programs I write (high-level software: web apps, components of information systems, data plumbing, etc.). This is well I ended up adopting Clojure professionally: after failing repeatedly to reproduce this productivity in more popular alternatives.

Regarding the benefits, for me it's the practical benefits of interactive development and the simplicity of everything in the Clojure ecosystem, which allow me to focus.

Of course, I would encourage everyone to be open to alternatives to Clojure!
By that point you might as well set a fixed-width length and treat everything after that as an alias, like me@domain.tld would be the base and mespammers@domain.tld would be your alias for spammers.com, etc. Even better, put the alias before the username and keep the + as a separator.
And this rejection probably comes from the fact their are not safe to eat as is.

If you take any bug and you eat it without cooking it, you risk diseases or venom, and you'll get a hard crunch shell.

So batch preparing those little things requires deep fry, which is a quite recent addition to our life.

Besides, it was hard to safely gather or raise enough of them to nourish a village. So we did eat some of them anecdoticly, but that's all.

The conclusion is unexpected:

No doubt, the two cops who sat around a hotel room trading violent fantasies with DePew and Lambey saw themselves as on the side of social justice. So do all of us rushing to pronounce guilty verdicts on anyone accused of sexual misdeeds now. We, too, have predator quotas to fill. As with the DePew jury or the Meese Commission, for sexual-justice-seeking Twitter mobs, evidence is still optional.

Fantasies about perpetrators permeated all levels of Dan DePew’s case, and we’re never more beset by fantasy than when asserting the purity of our motives. Never more perverse—and punitive—than when trying to prove that it’s other people who are the sadists.
I'd agree the strategic solution is fixing transit. But for the working class, strategic solutions don't pay rent nor do they fill your stomach today.

Uber/Lyft is both a terrible solution and often the only viable one immediately available. What is the immediate alternative when the transit system isnt working now...walking?

My mother used to take the subways. Now, on off-hours, half the time you end up without subways running, or running express, or running on alternative tracks, or a wall of conflicting reroute posters conflicting with actuality, or subways simply not showing up. She ends up at some random station without elevators or escalators and thinks...why didn't I just Uber this?

I encourage you to research what percentage of bugs are actually edible and a reasonable source of protein in northern climates. And then research the eating habits in regions where the percentage of edible and protein rich insects is significantly higher. Within there, I imagine you will find an answer.

There are many parts of the world where bugs are considered to appear and taste palatable. Some are delicacies.

The idea that all bugs are gross is largely due to unfamiliarity. Most unfamiliar foods are considered gross the first time someone tries them (as anyone with kids can attest).

With that said, some of the large ants commonly eaten in southern Mexico are extremely bitter. Not my favorite for sure.

The downside to this is that unless your language gets widespread adoption, you can corner your community into a bubble and drastically increase the barrier to contribution.

I think one of the issues of Gnome Project is this, they use a language specifically designed for Gnome/GTK+ and as if that was not enough, it has two different syntax, one--Vala which is sort-of-kind-of C#-like and the other being Genie which is sort of kind of python-like.

Haven't seen many bugs in our coffee machine yet and none of the beans looked like bugs either.

Perhaps when buying ground coffee instead of beans. But then, all industrially processed food items contain parts that you wouldn't intentionally put in, simply because it's hard to prevent foreign objects completely at scale. Heck, I guess apple juice might have quite a few bugs in it, too.
I personally (and unfortunately) know Jessie Gill of Atrient. I have to, for work purposes. The way his interactions and comments/quotes were described in that article were exactly things that he would say and do. He's a pretty violent guy actually. And the way he's acting in that video, only saying, "I don't know you" and sitting down, he knows he needs to watch what he says because there are a lot of things that that video could tie to later. Anyway, I wasn't there so I can't be 100% sure of anything, but I have known Jessie for years, hell I've been to his house several times, and the behavior is spot on.

As a contributor to a F/OSS project with some serious infrastructure (KDE), Github's uncontested success feels weird. It's a really anemic "solution" to the collaboration problem, especially with projects using it as their only collaboration platform. Most larger ones at least run mailing lists and a wiki or so. Some have a more sophisticated bugtracker, but most seem to stick with Github's... placeholder for one. Probably due to its integration with code review.

Considerations before adding a JIT compiler in PHP
I did interpreted it as insult made to sound like current insult. There are call outs as you say, but it is in no way parallel. More like she learned from history and mixed pars of it into the book. I think that she also learned from some former slave stories.

The whole system of oppression in the book is completely different from chattel slavery. It is not even really race-based except to the extend where ability is inherited. The overall system resembles genocide more - there is some commonality with wwii too. American slavery had slaves permeated whole society, serving in households closely under whites. That is not like that at all in book and Jemisin knows that. American slaves where money, property. Not at all in book. American slavery did not had beautiful fulcrum. Not took away all the kids from parents.

There are call outs, but in important defining things it is different and resembles also other historical events to the same degree. Jemisin took pieces of this and that and mixed it to something original.

It's a cultural thing.

When I was very young growing up in Zambia, we used to eat those flying termites that appear everywhere after the rains, as well as a certain type of caterpillar.

That was enough time for me to completely lose the taste for them on a very visceral level.

How does this prevent data races? Does it suffer performance, or require Rust-like annotations about lifetimes?
SIEM vs. Security Analytics
Yeah, so I work a bit on both sides (though not on sound stuff), on theoretical things and on getting algorithms to do useful things with language, and so (to follow through with the Jelinek quote) I will point out that getting the performance of your speech recogniser to go up doesn't mean that you gain any understanding of the underlying phenomenon.

So Mandarin lexical tone and English lexical stress are quite clearly functionally equivalent in many ways, and I certainly would be unsurprised if an ML algorithm treated them as representationally similar. But that's still different from English stress and Mandarin tone being the same phenomenon in phonetic terms --- again, in terms of the actual acoustic signal.

Off topic, but will there be a dark mode for Volt? I can’t abide by Slack’s lack of official one and the constant overwriting of the file that maintains the hack for the unofficial one.
If it's not salted and the other site has the same information they can identify you. For example Google Analytics prevents you from uploading hashed emails because it makes them capable of identifying the person and link it new info with all the existing info they have.

I started tracking the advertisers who upload my contact information a few months ago. One day I "hid" all of the pages in that section of the ads settings page and the next day it showed that over 100 pages had uploaded my contacts. I messaged a selection of the "new" pages (I'm not sure if they were actually new or if the had just re-upped their list). Most of them responded that they were confused as to how my info would end up associated with their pages, since most or all of them are quite a distance from where I live. A couple mentioned that they outsource their marketing to outside groups. My theory is that there may be industry marketing groups that collect contact information for use in social media advertising.

One auto dealer worker responded to my question, "how did my name get on a list that your page uploaded?" by saying "I don't know, I just post ads."

The ad settings page suggests that usually the uploaded identifying information is a phone number or email address, but the wording is vague enough that it could probably be just about anything. So if you've ever shared your phone number with Facebook (even once, I suspect, even if you've since deleted it) I wouldn't be surprised if they use that to identify you. Similarly, a postal address or even a city might enough to identify you for these purposes.

Edit: A quick Google shows a number of groups similar to [1] that sell lists of auto owners. I would be surprised if there were not similar groups for other industries, particularly real estate.
