>At least with server-side insertion on the site/apps own servers it gives them more control (and forces them to take responsibility). If they serve a malware ridden ad from their own resources then they are responsible, no one else, and had the control to not do it. They are no longer trusting a 3rd party to be safe without having any audit rights to make sure they are.

You're greatly overestimating how much publishers care about security. If they're already willing to embed arbitrary scripts from ad networks (which has full access to the page), why wouldn't they go one step further and proxy it from their servers? It's not like it's giving additional access. I also don't buy the "additional responsibility" aspect. At the end of the day, it's still an ad network, and unless they're manually approving each ad, the risk of malware/scams isn't going to change, and if they happen to display such an ad, they can still deflect blame to the ad network.

I'll bite; Living comfortably, safe, well-fed and long; enjoying luxuries like vacations, media consumption, knowledge accumulation, etc. Being able to give your children a safe home to grow up in, an education so they can build up their own life instead of depend on you and your own accumulated wealth.

I had all this, thankfully, even without my parents being rich. They grew up in a time and area where they could still buy a decently sized house and have children on a single income. They struggled, but they made it.

Thanks to living in a (more) socialist country, taxpayer money paid for my education, allowing me higher social mobility than my parents. Ten or so years into my career, I've paid what was invested in me by the other tax payers a few times over already.

I only read a part of the sample, so my opinion is based on that. Personally, I'd not want anyone on my team to write code which utilizes many of these tips (ex: Using + to cast a date to a timestamp). These sort of tricks make reading, understanding and maintaining code a huge pain in the ass. I don't want to have to go Google what's happening every time I come across one of these tricks I'm not familiar with.

I'd still read the book once for the chuckles at the weirdness of Javascript though, so kudos for the effort in compiling this book.

> Q: What if "d" is zero?

You can avoid chuckling by pointing out that this is a nonsense question. A rectangle which has a height of zero isn't a rectangle at all - it's a line. And lines don't have areas.

(You can continue chuckling after someone asks why lines have no area, I guess.)

Great points on why hybrid and multi cloud is here to stay!

The important distinction is that all of us are going to have the "multi" experience within Hybrid boundaries. Running such an environment seamlessly would require extensive coordination across infrastructure, network and application layers. This is where vendors have the opportunity to innovate simplified and beautiful experience.
You should check a general reference on slavery across the world (including slavery of Europeans during the late middle ages). There seems to be not a single country whose citizens have not enslaved someone or other at sometime throughout history. I am not as rich as Jeff Bezos or indeed hundreds of thousands of other folk. Now how can you explain that? Answer to your question: yes, a leftist conspiracy.

> There are no democracies in SE Asia.

I wonder if you consider India to be in SE Asia. If not, please ignore the following.

Last I looked there were regular elections happening there, with "strong leaders" being voted out of power with some regularity. They have problems (same as everywhere including the USA), but democracy / free elections aren't a problem (yet).

"Democracy has never worked in SE Asia" is an extremely strong statement, and in your comment, I find too many stereotypes about the region, and a shallow understanding. (paraphrasing -'some of them believe in karma and so democracy can't work there' is so ridiculous an argument that I wonder if you are doing it deliberately to provoke discussion. Makes about as much sense as saying that some catholics believe that a monarchy is the best form of government so elections won't work in Ireland)
Sure, but you could work around that. Even with a fixed amount of LEDs, you have on, off, blinking, and color to work with.
If I made a game though, it would likely be because I wanted to learn how an ECS works, or how to make an ECS, or how to make a game engine in general. Also I'd probably quit once the ECS was done but before anything was actually playable, because all the fun stuff (in my opinion) would be the technical plumbing and engine details, and not actually making anything creative with it.

As another example of this: I just bought a big DAW and a midi keyboard, and now obviously I'm stuck coding audio filters in Rust rather than making music.

One defenition of Civilizations as per historian Arnold Toynbee (I am quoting from Wikipedia page for his work "The Study of History") is as follows:

"The 19 major civilizations, as Toynbee sees them, are: Egyptian, Andean, Sinic, Minoan, Sumerian, Mayan, Indic, Hittite, Hellenic, Western, Orthodox Christian (Russia), Far Eastern, Orthodox Christian (main body), Persian, Arabic, Hindu, Mexican, Yucatec, and Babylonic. There are four "abortive civilizations" (Abortive Far Western Christian, Abortive Far Eastern Christian, Abortive Scandinavian, Abortive Syriac) and five "arrested civilizations" (Polynesian, Eskimo, Nomadic, Ottoman, Spartan), for a total of 28."

If you want to tax anything, it is probably better to tax (frivolous) consumption, i.e. wealth destruction, instead of wealth creation.

Sure, I agree, but we're talking about estate tax ITT.

It's nice to imagine that switching from income taxes to VAT (with appropriate progressive adjustments for the poor) would allow the merely hardworking rather than just the lucky and unscrupulous to accumulate wealth, but it's not clear that would be the case.
Magellan was not remotely the first to set sail, nor was he the first to apply that technology.

Of course what SpaceX does is not the same thing as Magellan's trip around the Earth, but it's absolutely an important milestone. It reduces costs on something very expensive, it reuses rockets in a way that wasn't possible before (this is the part that makes it arguably more innovative than Magellan), and it finally gives the US its own capability to go to space again. It was a bit embarrassing how dependent the US had become on Russia since the Space Shuttle's retirement.

But the Soyuz was absolutely also a fantastic feat. It may be small, but it's been the world's primary workhorse for manned space travel to LEO. It's far more reliable than the Space Shuttle (2 lost crews vs none for the Soyus on far more flights, I believe). And the US has nothing remotely comparable. Until now.
Yes. And that is easy because the tooling can find all callers and the test infrastructure can find and run all related tests (even, if need be, literally every test).

Good point. We changed as a society, and what we have now would not have suited us a few hundred years ago, and what we had then would not suit us now. If we had tried to introduce democracy into medieval Europe, it would have failed just as badly.

But by forcing our values onto SE Asian cultures, we are assuming that they cannot come up with "better" answers, and assuming that our way is the only way. Maybe there's an alternative to western society that they'll discover and share with us if we just let them do it their way? Maybe our western society is just not a good fit for their culture?

Of course, this would mean turning a blind eye to a lot of inequality and suffering, something that contradicts our values. We're seeing this play out in Australia with the indigenous culture being destroyed by western culture, (i part) because we cannot turn a blind eye to the poverty that appears to be a consequence of living in that culture. There is no obvious answer to this.
Bone marrow transplants are a very high risk procedure. Something like 50 percent work, while the rest die shortly after. I knew a guy with cancer that did it as a last resort treatment. They killed all the marrow (whatever kind of cells, I'm not a doctor) and reintroduced some to take over. It took. And then they found the sample they reintroduced (they used his own) was tainted with cancer. He died shortly after. Had it not been tainted he would have been cured. Taking the cells from someone else means getting it cancer-free but also means higher risk it won't work. It also provides the opportunity to give the person an AIDS-proof immune system (which some people have). This is not a generally usable cure, but it is cool AF when it works.

No, what it shows is that women choose different careers that overall yield the ratio you cite. Everyone already knew this, the point is that such a statistic is misleading.

The authors also conjecture that this is due to cultural biases, but obviously cannot prove this.

For instance, their overview that women arrive in college less interested in STEM, and they hint suggestively that this is due to discrimination. Except this hypothesis doesn't at all explain the gender equality paradox; in fact, it predicts the exact opposite of what we see.

Normally in science, a falsification this strong would immediately dismiss a hypothesis as a viable candidate theory. It's suggestive that it hasn't.

The premiere dialectic in this area is Lakatos' "Proof and Refutations", which I highly recommend in general, and has plenty to say about the present topic.

> Q: Wait, where did "x" come from?

A proof from intuition is not the same as a formal proof with an insightful step. I wager that many formal proofs (in Coq, say) would spur such "Wait, what is that for?" questions.

In this case, the selection of some arbitrary non-zero real "x" is a creative step, not an intuitive one. The missing proviso that "x" is non-zero is an oversight, but it's a "small error", and -- with some experiential intuition -- can be recovered.

(EDIT: The arbitrary variable is quickly overridden with a specific definition, but this is not typical unless there's a good reason to conceptualize it this way. If its value is obvious, define it up front and discuss why that value is the correct one.)

> What if "d" is zero?

This is (very nearly) a refutation, in the sense of Lakatos. We reflect and decide that our basic proof idea works for rectangles of positive area, and in some sense zero-area rectangles aren't really the objects we wanted to talk about. So we include this as an assumption.

The digression about division by zero, inverses, etc. is valuable, but missing the point that this is an algebraic representation of a geometric problem. There's a lot that could be said about whether geometry is intuitive or formal, but I think the issue of divisibility by zero is side-stepping most of the interesting stuff.

...anyway, this is quite a convoluted proof. We assume a priori that for any rectangle R, its "area" A(R) is well-defined and computable. We'll assume that the rectangles are axis-aligned with side-lengths R.x and R.y for each axis. We could have a separate discussion and proof about the invariance of area under a change of basis.

Theorem: Given a rectangle R with non-zero side-lengths R.x and R.y, and given a non-zero real number c, there exists a rectangle R2 with non-zero side-lengths where R2.x = c and A(R) = A(R2).

Proof: Because R2.x is already specified, we need only determine R2.y. We know that, for rectangles, A(R) = R.x * R.y. So we desire that R.x * R.y = R2.x * R2.y. Because R2.x = c and c is non-zero, we have the equivalent desire that (R.x * R.y) / c = R2.y. Thus, the rectangle where R2.x = c and R2.y = (R.x * R.y) / c will have the same area as R and will have the desired side-length c. []

English? Yes. But it has more similarity with legalese than informal English. Each clause makes direct appeal to some rule of logic, and it could be transformed into a Coq proof (or any other proof assistant) without much ceremony.

I also never see much talk about the sharp edges of Macbook. It was a struggle for me when I got mine. But just yesterday I checked the 2018 model of a colleague. And the sharpness was even worse. More importantly the vents on the side and on the around the hinge were really bad. My skin was scrapped painfully if my hand dragged across it. I don't know how one can use this safely without scratching one's skin :(. I like a lot about the Macbook itself while I also hate some of their choices. But this package they put everything is in sharp, slippery, zero grip is simply beyond absurd for me. That's not even talking about the repairability or making it so thin than it's harder to grip.

They have solved a lot of the tough problem of quality manufacturing and set a price for themselves to allow it profitability. That's the big thing. The problems Macbook has I feel are not about lack of engineering skill. It's completely about designer ego and fleecing the customers.

(Equity being what some here are referring to as 'equality in outcome'.)

In this image, it's hard to argue that equity isn't clearly better. In other cases like admissions, it's much more debatable, and personally I think equality ('in opportunity') makes more sense there.

I see the poor attitudes more with other types of games. "MOBA" games are only mildly violent but have a terrible reputation. I blame the all or nothing win conditions and that a typical match takes 30-40 minutes. You can easily lose because of one player, which can seem unfair.

Whats changed over the years I think, are there are more sore losers. The internet provides enough anonymity that they get away with it.

Also, some people are literally addicted to the games, so they are unhappy to be playing and lash out at anyone getting in the way of their fix.

That's my understanding of what "Hallway usability testing" from the classic 'Joel Test' meant. Having fresh eyes on a thing vs. the same people 'testing' it forever.

There's a similar phenomenon when looking at an electronic todo list. You get used to reading it top-to-bottom and skipping over certain uncompleted items every time. It's nice if there is a feature to randomise the order of the list, to give you a jolt into properly considering each item individually again.

As a angry and cynical gamer I want to take a moment to thank Game Developers of negatively received publishers, specifically EA and Blizzard who I am most familiar with.

First of all, I have never seen a triple A game in recent years that did not exhibit the passion of its developers somewhere in the game. Even the most rushed, MTX-riddled, poorly architected, games in recent memory would always have something that made me think, as a fellow developer/product manager, "Damn somebody worked their ass off to make that cool". Whether its extra effort put into a 3d model/animation, a unique UI enhancement, a piece of well thought out dialogue, something is always there and I appreciate it because it reflects nothing but extra effort - the game could have shipped without it but somebody did it anyways.

Second, gamers need to stop expecting infinite replayability. No game can be played 10 hours a day and stay fresh, engaging, and new. This is a particular problem with multiplayer and competitive games such as Battlefield or Overwatch. It prompts a vocal minority to complain and negatively impacts perception of a game which, if played a couple hours a day, would be received much better. It also promotes game types with more replayability, causing fewer RPG and single player games and more BR games that can be binged by streamers and fans to an unhealthy level.

Third, like the airline industry consumers force policy with their spending habits. They want to pay once for a game that gets constant updates, has progressive updates, and quality customer support. On paper I suppose this is fine but for large titles involves retaining large amounts of staff that have to be paid for somewhere in the process. Collectively we've by and large rejected most monetization strategies, leaving us with the current "game-as-service" model which I don't think anyone is truly happy of.

Finally, and again, thank you for your work. Gamers are vocal and often unreasonable, but we still think you are good developers and good people. So are gamers, we need to find a better way to support each other. I am not a fan of the oligarchy of modern triple A game developement (with EA, Activision-Blizzard, and 2k) hold all the cards. Hopefully with the democratization of Unity and Indie game development we can break the painful cycle soon.

That does indeed appear to be the core problem in societies in this and the last century (and before, presumably.)

I'd argue that social democracy seems to be doing pretty well at distributing income and wealth and power. It's a shame "social" is a dirty word in the states.

If the EU can develop successfully over the next few decades into something superpower-like, maybe the benefits of such a system will become attractive to other powers and the ideas will spread.

Or maybe the China system of repression and threatening the neighbourhood will turn out to be more competitive globally and we'll see more of that.

It's 48 because Bach did it all again in book II of the Well-Tempered Clavier.

And really, it's 96 because there is both a prelude and a fugue for each key.

And if you think about it, it's 48 + (48 * x) where x is the average number of voices in the fugue.

And then at least a few of those are double and triple fugues, so I guess a forEach statement in there to multiple by 2 or 3 for those cases.

So if you were an organist who was opposed to this tuning method, you'd have a pretty difficult time making a persuasive counterargument against all that.
