Why would they fix the problem. Every crash is a redistribution of wealth.

When there's a recession, if you're wealthy and have diversified assets you can buy everything at a discount rate during a stock crash and sell when the recession recovers. Meanwhile, the poor and middle class often find themselves unemployed, their savings accounts massively depleted and in a constant crush for cash.

If you're wealthy AND you have the ability to create risk in the market, then even better. You can actually help trigger more "stock discounting" events, and dominate any emerging technology company with your bootstrapped companies while everyone is dying for credit.
This is very bad and makes me angry. If you send me an email I need to not worry about being able to save the information forever. Once somebody sends out something it is no longer theirs. But now the cancer of DRM leaks into our personal lives???!?

At the very least receivers should be able to automatically reject any such email.
A lot of people say that digital is the way to listen to the music, because it doesn’t have the cracks and pops of the vinyl but in my honest opinion those are the things that makes listening to vinyls interesting.

Now a lot of people probably disagree with me, but having small cracks, pops and hissing sound (as long as they don’t hinder the listening experience) give the record an unique feeling. The record having these cracks and pops usually means it’s been used and liked.

But if you want the “perfect” experience, go for digital.
>1: Once they are in, you have to support them forever. Or you will break the few websites that use them.

That's not a problem. We want them supported forever. And basic widgets/controls haven't changed in substance since Xerox park or Win 3.1 anyway, so it's not like we'll discover suddenly that a autocomplete widget is a thing of the past.

>2: Almost nobody uses them. Try 10 popular websites and chances are you will not see a single native dropdown. You might not even see something as simple as a native radio button.

That's because they have been neglected (unlike the rest of the stack), and don't support extensive styling in most browsers.

Yes. One of the examples from the talk was a comment macro. Very cool (and the talk was about fun/cool stuff, not about practicalities).

The question is whether you want that sort of power in day-to-day programming. My guess is no. That's also what the PARC/LRG folks found out with Smalltalk-72. It's also something I hear from some very seasoned LISP hackers. It's also the sense I am getting from these very powerful DSL/LOP workbenches.

From TFA:

The reason the question is relevant is, of course, that although it is fun to play around with powerful mechanisms, we should always use the least powerful mechanism that will accomplish our goal, as it will be easier to program with, easier to understand, easier to analyse and build tools for, and easier to maintain.

It's also why I use the C pre-processor very reluctantly. Though I do use it. From time to time. And then try to get rid of that use if I can[1]

And no need to explain how much better LISP macros are :-) In a sense, like Smalltalk, LISP may be just too powerful, in the words of Alan Kay "Lisps frequently 'eat their children'" so that there's always an answer (use a macro) that will cut off an interesting question.

Yep, looks doable. All you need to do is insert two tags: a <script> and a <div>. You can also disable auto loading and manually trigger loading comments (see `data-auto-init` in the docs [1]).

OT: Recently, I had to learn systemd-resolved likes to take control of port 53 too. For me, this was a problem when I wanted to run a DNS server [1] on that port, to be able to request wildcard certificates from Letsencrypt without using the API of my Domain Provider.

What an odd question. Of course you can't know it's true. Can you know that any news source always publishes the truth and only the truth?

But in this case, the source is the book "The Way We Eat Now". The writer of this article is Bee Wilson, who is the author of that book. The article (and presumably the book) cite references, which can be consulted for support.

For examples, Barry Popkin's papers on nutrition transitions are findable with https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_sdt=0%2C5&q=barry+popk... and Fumiaki Imamura's 2015 Lancet paper is at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214109X1...

By comparison, the Manafort/Assange article contains only anonymous sources.

>If browser makers can't maintain something as simple as a radio button, they will probably not be able to maintain more complex widgets.

Who said they "can't maintain it"? They just wont, which is different. Besides, it is up to HTMLWG/W3C to expand on those widgets, and they have done nothing...

>Browser engines are already so complex that even a giant like Microsoft gave up on maintining one.

Not because of them having radio buttons and form controls. Those we had since Mosaic... Even Lynx supports those.

It's all the other craziness (from 3D, to MIDI, to sound APIs, to 2-3 layout engines, to crazy CSS features).

Western society has a serious issue with nuance. No, we should not throw people in jail and ruin their lives for smoking cannabis. Yes, cannabis has some health benefits for specific people in specific circumstances. No, that doesn't mean that cannabis is somehow "good for you" in the standard sense of the the term.

This is why the "health benefits" arguments for legalization of drugs are generally a bad route to take. It would be far more fruitful to argue for legalization based on individual responsibility, personal choice, and related themes.

It used to be that part of the unwritten contract of the 'Golden Rule' in our culture was a recognition that adults have access to things that are dangerous or that could deprive each other of life, liberty, property etc, and that therefore these implements must be handled with care such that bad outcomes do not occur for anyone.

The free market has seemingly granted a reprieve from such unwritten contracts and any form of conscience and now allow all implements to be systematically leveraged in the favor of investors seeking returns.
Kotlin is different because of the focus on tooling, which is the advantage Java still had over all the dynamically typed JVM languages.

Also, Kotlin/Native is in beta now and could target Fuchsia (compiling AOT to native code using LLVM).

Where do you live? Because growing up in the Netherlands I can say all the negative side-effects were very clearly explained to us in high school, without stigmatizing it.

How would it even be possible for US pilots to sustainably have „much higher levels of experience“? Do non-US pilots fly only two days a week? Do they all die before age 40?

This stereotype of dingy third-world airlines with incompetent, untrained pilots borders on racism. At the very least, one should notice that flying the world’s newest airliner in significant numbers is incompatible with one‘s preconceptions.
this seems not to be in the spirit of language. Testing if type is array or not is so common, and adding this function (li, li2) to "standard library" would introduce "standard library". Maybe we overlooked some other obvious solution.

Pure WiFi lacks the range. Moreover, there is very little on inter-working.

The cellular networks standards, though truly horrible, have done an incredible job of allowing a connection to jump between base-stations, and to allow a user to connect to almost any base-station.
WiMax was an attempt to do something like WiFi with higher range. But it lacked the whole inter-working back-end that would allow a user to seamlessly jump between base-points.

Moreover, a network operator tends to have a lot more 'body' if only because it works on licensed spectrum. This means, at the very least, that if things go wrong you can sue it. Thus, there is at least a simple basis for trust.
For WiFi access, since anyone can easily get on it, trust is much more a no go. Not just regarding malicious users, but also about simple reliability.

You can get closer to second order if your error is a sum of squares of the form 0.5 * f^T * f, in which case you case compute the jacobian J of the fitness f, and approximate your hessian as J^T * J. That's the Gauss-Newton method and it's very effective if a linear approximation of f holds locally.

That's an approximation but that's arguably a second order method, since it acknowledges the nonlinearity coming from the squared norm of f.
Doesn't this apply to the 2 party system in the US too with both republicans and democrats following the same neoliberal policies over the last 40 years?

> Which option is it?

"no more censorship" doesn't seem like a claim that can exist with option 2 – because they're crowd-sourcing carriers, and carriers censor.

So if their marketing is consistent – and ruling out a large-scale reorganization of the internet to be more decentralized – then it's option 1.

Option 1 also means that carriers can kill internet connectivity relatively trivially to these devices. Countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and China will do this if it becomes a big enough threat to their internet censorship endeavors.

That's an overgeneralization. With Apple's move from a niche to a more mainstream platform in recent decades of course their customers choose Apple for all kinds of and increasingly varying reasons.

Personally, I use Apple for their software. Having that software in an affordable, customizable, upgradable package would be very welcome. I can get beautiful hardware from most manufacturersand brands these days, so that isn't a unique selling point any longer.

There is apulse this which I used successfully in the past, it’s included in the portage tree. Since I happen to like systemd itself, I don’t have much of an issue with that.

We’ll see how long they survive this time, esp NetworkManager is starting to bother me again ;)
No, under normal conditions the MAX isn't unstable. The instability comes only at high angles of attack (close to stalling) and only there the MCAS system should kick in. It was meant to be the equivalent to ESP systems in cars.
Given my experience with unions, I’ll quit when the union forms at my employer.

Unions increase the importance of political skills over performance. If you do work but are bad at politics you’ll do worse in a union shop. Plus the nepotism and collusion between management individuals and union leadership to the detriment of shareholders, customers, and young workers is disgusting.

The only people who benefit are old underperformers in management and union leadership. They form coalitions of mutual support and screw the rest of us.

Screw unions. They are for useless people that don’t trust their own abilities.

They are only useful if the oligarchs block market competition for labor. But we aren’t there yet ... and we can be vigilant by supporting action taken against instances of collusion. Unions are no cure. They are like caking dung on the wound.

I agree with your first paragraph, but the rest of your post contradicts it. The effect of Central Bank policies of the last decades is yet to be seen.
Consider, for example, the UK productivity puzzle, where productivity has remained stagnant since 2008. One of the versions that was, if I remember right, expressed by Andy Haldane of BoE, was that loose monetary policy allowed a large number of uncompetitive businesses to survive, lowering total productivity.

The primary function of central banks when they were established was to prevent bank runs, acting as a lender to banks. But what if, for example, we had full reserve banking instead of fractional reserve? Would that not eliminate bank runs, make the economy more stable, ensure interest rate serve as a valid signal of consumer time preferences and of the demand for capital, and eliminate the need for a central bank?
