Sounds like an argument that the colonies should’ve been left intact rather than destroyed as a result of interna politics in the colonizing country.

In any case, why are they still dangerous places now? It’s been quite awhile, and places like Singapore prove that backwaters can be turned into empires rather quickly.

Boeing did it far too late to help themselves.

Compare and contrast with Johnson & Johnson's handling of the 1982 Tylenol poison incidents. Tylenol immediately pulled the product off the shelves everywhere out of an abundance of caution and earned a lot of credit with the public. Boeing... yeah.
> Uber doesn't pay the 30% like others do.

This makes me curious if this is how Uber(Jump Scooters) is undercutting Lime and Bird on Scooter and Bike pricing in my city (Dallas). Uber is $0 to start a ride + $.15 a min. Bird and Lime and $1 to start + $.15 a min.

Is this partially because Apple takes 30% from Bird and Lime, but not Uber?
I really liked the book: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.

It tell you how to suspend your judgement and get into a state of flow while drawing. The same can techniques can be applied to painting. Also spend some on quality material, you don't need to have a lot, but make it quality materials that inspire you.
> Apple would never have had a monopoly selling $700 phones and Apple would never sell low margin $225 phones (the average selling price of Android phone). If anything MS would have been more successful.

A duopoly between two non-Google vendors (especially if they were effectively two monopolies in distinct market segments) would scarcely have been better for Google than a non-Google monopoly, so even if a low-end smartphone market existed and was substantial without Android, and your perception above in regard to Apple staying out of it without Android is correct, that doesn't materially change the nature of the success of Android for Google.
Oh, I so hope you're right!
> As you must know, the ordinary understanding of race is based upon external appearance, primarily melanin: black, white, yellow, brown, Indian, and so on.

This is exactly my point. Race means different things in different contexts. Colloquially, the word is used as you used it here. But it has other definitions, like the one I posted. All words are like this.

> If you redefine race as a genetic population, then you will end up with new population categories that have absolutely nothing to do with race as it is ordinarily understood

I'm not redefining it. It has been defined this way by other people. There are real scientists who use the word race like this.

But I agree: different definitions of the word "race" will result in different race categories. When a scientist uses the term "race" they mean something different than someone using the word race colloquially.
Well, tables for layout are necessarily in one very specific case. Namely, coding HTML emails, where CSS support is pretty horrible and (for some reason only known to them), Microsoft decided that they'd use Microsoft Word's rendering engine for Outlook.

Microservices are interesting.

Not Technically, as they increase complexity.

But they enable something really powerful: continuity of means, continuity of responsibility, that way a small team has full hand of developing AND operating a piece of a solution.

Basically, organization tends to be quite efficient when dealing with small teams (about dozen people, pizza rule and everything), that way information flows easily, with point to point communication without the need of a coordinator.

However, with such architecture, greater emphasis should be put on interfaces (aka APIs). A detailed contract must be written (or even set as a policy):

* how long the API while remain stable?

* how will it be deprecated? with a Vn and Vn-1 scheme?

* how is it documented?

* what are the limitations? (performance, call rates, etc)?

If you don't believe me, just read "Military-Standard-498". We can say anything about military standards, but military organizations, as people specifying, ordering and operating complex systems for decades, they know a thing or two about managing complex systems. And interfaces have a good place in their documentation corpus with the IRS (Interface Requirements Specification) and IDD (Interface Design Description) documents. Keep in mind this MIL-STD is from 1994.

If you look at that crate's issue tracker you can see open issues titled "Crash on malformed input", "4-bit grayscale image is read as 8-bit", I don't think it's safer or even tested to be correct.

Unicode was created to unify a number of different pre-existing character sets so they all could be mapped directly to unicode code points. Some of these character-sets had pre-composed characters, e.g. a single code-point to represent 'ö'. Other used combining characters. Unicode therefore had to support both.

I think a better example would be: you can only get food if you give us your address and consent that all other restaurants in the vicinity send marketing mail to you. You also consent that we and they exchange information about when and what you ordered.

To me it sounds very sensible to make such a business practice illegal.
I don't get the hate either. I was AMAZED the first time I saw how easily I could opt-out to literally HUNDREDS of ad/tracking companies.

I’ve noticed a large difference in opinion from Eurocentric architecture to America-centric. The U.S. seems to favor ivory tower, RDBMS centric systems and Europe is headlong into domain-driven design, event storming, serverless, and event driven architectures.

Monolithic design is fine for simple systems, but as complexity and scale increase, so do the associated costs.

I’m currently using DDD, micro services, and public cloud because complex system are better served.

I wanted to update my explanation ^ a little bit - it's based on how trim works in smaller trainer aircraft (which are all I've flown). On a 737 there isn't a "trim tab" - instead the whole littler wing at the back of the airplane (tailplane) can change its position based on the trim, while the elevator is the adjustable tab at the back of that which moves based on the pilot's inputs.

I think the basic procedure for how to undo the excessive trim based on too much force to move the tailplane still is accurate though...

I just read this great article (https://www.skybrary.aero/bookshelf/books/2627.pdf) linked lower down in this thread for more details.

The news site was an obviously over-the-top example, but the more realistic $1,000,000 offer would be just as illegal.

The rational reason for that is that in the real world, not all choices are made by perfectly rational, superhumanely intelligent actors that have and consider all the information.

Also, not all decisions on a free market are truly freely made. If all standard housing/mortgage contracts contain that you have to sign away your kidney as a security deposit in case you can't pay your rent/mortgage rates, do you really have a choice?

With data on web sites, it's the same. Almost every web site collects data. You don't realistically have the option of going to a different news site if you don't like that deal.

Yeah this explanation is completely backwards. The "trim" moves the entire horizontal stabilizer. The elevator control moves the elevator (a moveable section of the back of the horizontal stabilizer).

Every time I read a pro-monolith article it's just "oh you don't need a microservice arch, monoliths are simpler" and every time I read a microservice article it's "microservices are more scalable" and both claims sound valid to me.

Yet I never see anyone talking about how we could combine the two to get the best of both worlds. It's always just microservices vs monoliths. (Similar things are happening in the frontend community with JS vs. no-JS debates.)

That's how things have always worked though. And I'm not only talking about the tech industry now. I'm talking about nearly everything. Literally everything from Automobile manufacturers obliging you to buy accessories which fit only their vehicles, to sewing machines, even simple things like shaving razors.

We have to narrow our focus if we want the government and the courts to take us seriously. These shotgun approaches that qualify nearly every major corporation in nearly every market sector for a breakup just make us seem like amateurs.

You can't have a marketplace that you participate in? That just makes no sense. I mean think about it, you've just snared Walmart, Target, and dozens of other retailers with similar web presences in your net. You have to have something more tailored to tech companies, or you have to go with the laws as they stand. You can't say, "Oh, I just want to handicap companies comprising the top 25% of every market sector in the country." That makes you seem unreasonable.

Has anyone done a similar thing with Spark and Postgresql for large graphs ? I'm curious to know how you write and structure your algorithms, given that graph partitioning is quite tricky (and not possible for a lot of algorithms).

I'm guessing Google uses a variant of this at scale - but not sure if their label propagation algorithms can be implemented on something like Spark and Postgres.
Perhaps its just that, as software developers, we eschew any form of design that would lead to a maintainable monolithic system (The No Big Upfront Design Movement may have caused us to throw the baby out with the bath water). Maybe we just don't yet have the tools and theory to yet to put together a complex system made up of many individual agents in any easy-to-do way (e.g. Microkernels vs Monolithic kernels)

Look, we live in a era where the fastest time to market is always going to be the way to go. Microservices are nice but they slow development down a great deal.

What we need is an easier, less subjective way to build software. I think DataFlow programming will become more popular since it is easy, scales well, and applicable to more domains than many would think.

A monolithic dataflow application has many of the advantages of micro-services and monoliths alike.

I also think the industry should probably start to shy away from OOP (especially since industry totally dumped OOD). If you go on github and find a random C program, then do the same for a random C++ program - I would bet you can wrap you head around the C far before you can even begin to understand the C++. How people can revolt against microservices and yet not question the same phenomena with respect to basic SP vs OOP is again baffling to me.

I think microservice adoption is a heavy-handed approach to modularization. I very much like Jackson Strucutred Programming, Dataflow Programming etc. Dataflow is actually applicable to many more domains than some think and are about as understandable and scales about as well, if not better than microservices.
I second this. I think it was my first encounter with a genre book that totally "subverted" everything I had learned fantasy narratives should be.

This is possible in the iOS app that I built [1], which accesses your Kindle library through the Kindle Cloud Reader web app and injects a javascript that allows advanced coloring options. This is used primarily to enable our line-wrapping color gradients, which facilitate visual tracking, but you can also add colors without the gradients. Here are some screenshots of green/black [2] and amber(ish)/black [3]. The app is free to download and this feature has a free trial so you can see how it works. You can also use our Chrome/Firefox/Brave extension [4] for reading on the computer.

Unfortunately we cannot build a similar tool for Android, as Amazon blocks the Kindle Cloud Reader on all Android devices (including the Kindle Fire).

1. Hmm, I rarely switch back to Google, and the most recent time I did, it did not deliver better results. It might be that Google has so much information on you that it gives better results (while it, fortunately, has not much information on me, so it has to compete with DDG on an equal footing).

2. I don't use ElasticSearch, but I can tell you that searching the python docs is quite simple in DDG, just throw a !py3 in there to directly search the latest Python 3 docs. Apparently, there's a comparable bang for ElasticSearch, !elastic. But I don't know how well it works (and it's a bit long, really).

> Monolithic design is fine for simple systems

Most systems are "simple". Or mostly simple.

What's the saying? It should be as simpler as possible (but no simpler).
I consider this to be healthy. There are real world problems to spend your time on.

The real world has achievements to be earned and systems to be optimized. Why not seek those out and end up with something to show for your effort?

> In my book, the problem is that you are not allowed to provide a link to your payment website inside your app.

The counter point is, if Apple allowed this, then every single App would use that method. Most people would not realize or care that they bought the XYZ in a web view vs through the AppStore payment system. Even apps that are currently paid only would switch to a "free" app with a "pay here" in-app purchase.

At this point the AppStore no longer can bring in any money for Apple except indirectly via encouraging iPhone sales.

Maybe Apple could charge the publisher for each app download or something instead to keep making money but I doubt that would be very popular.

"Surrogate pairs" use two code units (32 bits total) to increase the number of code points that can be represented. It seems a lot more complicated than UTF-8. I have no idea how many code points can actually be represented in theory. There are under 21 bits' worth of Unicode codepoints, though, so I'm sure the claim that UTF-16 can represent all of them isn't some kind of trick.
