I agree with jwr on this. I don't think they had any intention other than making a toy.
Because metabolic insulinemia is out of control these days and I find the keto people's studies quite convincing (look into Ivor Cummins' presentations on YouTube), in addition to hearing similar points of view even in some anti-keto diets. It seems pretty likely to me that sugar is very easy for us to over-consume in modern lifestyles.

Less convincing to me is the full-on keto diet itself. It's great that it exists as it started an excellent conversation on diet, but I rule it out because most cultures' dietary staples have been starchy carbs.

The problem imho is:

- It's too easy to overconsume carbs in modern lifestyles, and some of the carbs we consume spike our insulin too much (certain GMO crops in particular).

- It's too easy to consume non-whole-food carbs. Whole foods come with things that reduce the metabolic burden of eating them (fiber, antinutrients like phytates, antioxidants).

- The people who subsisted on carb-based staple foods led significantly more active lifestyles in the past than most people today, and did not have the abundance of food that we do now.

In that use-case, there's no reason that myhome.example.com couldn't be broken out onto its own apex, yet still hosted by the same authoritative DNS servers. (I'm continually surprised that there's no easy way in any DNS registrar's UX to say "I want this DNS name to be an NS record pointing back to your own servers, with you automatically updating that association; and then I want you to expose a new top-level zone for me to edit with that new apex FQDN, just as if it was another asset I had purchased from you. The new zone should have an automatically-managed SOA record derived from its parent zone's SOA record, which prohibits transfers; and the parent zone's SOA should be locked down such that it cannot be transfer-enabled either, as long as the child zone exists [just because no other registrar likely supports receiving this mess.]" Totally possible, but no registrar does it. Maybe because it'd make reselling too easy?)
I'm curious. Why the short names such as .len instead of .length? Also, ui.WindowCfg instead of ui.WindowConfig? I think this would make we hesitate all the time. Was it .new_textbox or .new_txtbox? Short keywords are one thing (Lua's local and function are no fun) but abbreviated library functions and types are another.

I love looking at new languages. People invent really creative stuff. However, my exploration usually ends with "this is great, but there are no libraries for it, so I probably won't use it".

If you are building a language, starting from scratch is the epitome of Not Invented Here syndrome. Build it on top of an existing ecosystem. Look at Elixir and how it builds on Erlang and interoperates with it just perfectly. Or look Groovy, Scala and Clojure to see what kind of range you can get from a single platform. With the exception of Go, every language that has become popular in the past 10 years, built on something else.

Thanks for the feedback. We weren't sure a scale would work either. We tested it with some skepticism.

It turns out, leaving your coffee on a scale is intuitive for most people. This actually works as a way to do re-ordering without the user having to think of it at all. It's like a Dash button that presses itself.

For what it's worth, Amazon recently discontinued Dash buttons. :)
The original draft lists counterfeiting (sorry, I used the wrong term originally) and "computer fraud" (loose translation) which means defrauding someone by technical means. Hacking a bank and altering account balances would be an example.

I think the list covers trading in counterfeit money as well. This is something that you can totally do over the internet.

But see the reply linking to the newer recommendation document. This one recommends to remove the restriction to a set list of crimes and is generally much looser.
Go only provides a better solution for a subset of the tasks and use cases that Python supports. It's no good being fast, if it's also missing library support. That said, I can see your frustration when you are dealing with a domain where Go is extremely strong.

If Go expands its use cases then over time, I think Pythonistas will move to it. It seems like a relatively compatible community compared to Java or .NET.

Most national dietary guidelines seem to be fairly high in carbs imho.

There is a huge debate currently, between government endorsed diets, plant-based, and keto, and each group is able to cite numerous studies that contradict the others'.
Managing something like this with the select functionality in bazel is a terrible way to solve it.

The conditions necessary to make the decision of which build variant to choose can be arbitrarily complicated (for example, the logical test could be the execution of some arbitrary script like embodied in a .PHONY target in Make) and also rely on caching logic or details of whether the ambient environment performing the build is a CI environment or not, and cannot be limited to flag arguments.

The identically same compiled version may be required by multiple consumers, even if they are distributed from each other. Forcing both consumers to rebuild some dependencies in such a case (as opposed to relying on pre-built artifacts from an artifact repository) is often an unacceptable performance overhead, and very wasteful even in cases when someone can afford to sit around and wait.

It can also be affected by portability.. for example differences in Docker for Mac vs say Docker for Ubuntu when the underlying artifact is a container. Much better to ensure the container that is built passes all required portability tests as a publication criteria on a container repo, so that the different consumers on different platforms can be sure if it is part of their build workflow, they are getting the correct artifact and it cannot be subject to idiosyncrasies of the platform or ambient environment at local build time.

The necessary build target for a given select condition may change over time, while still requiring backward compatibility with a former build of that same target from those same build conditions, effectively making a timestamp into an implicit version identifier for a backwards compatible version, meaning that re-running an identical build command with identical parameters at a later time will produce a build that succeeds for some consumers (who don’t need the backward compatibility or may even require a fundamental change that renders backward compatibility impossible) while failing for other consumers who require backward compatibility.

I’m sure you have plenty of “not hard” rebuttals for how to mangle bazel to address these types of things, which is meaningless because solving it with versioned, permanent artifacts is simply better.

It requires you to be extremely noseblind with diehard dogmatic insistence on using your “hammer for every nail” favorite to not see this.

It’s also telling to me that you focus on what you perceive to be “not hard” in your preferred tooling and have said this in several comments as if you believe it means something. I believe you are missing the point.
"working hard to close off ..."

You say that like China accepts the ICC. They don't. They never signed the treaty either.

Your example is not incitement...

Incitement is a specific call to action, not a general, broad-based statement. In the US, it must further be for "imminent" unlawful acts, though the "imminence" required varies based on the act incited.

If Michael Cohen were to say to Roger Stone, "kill Donald Trump by poisoning his Big Mac tomorrow" that could be incitement if Cohen had previously or afterwards tried to convince stone to actually do it. (Alternatively, it could also be seen as conspiracy, and frequently prosecutors charge conspiracy instead of or in addition to incitement because they usually both apply and it's much easier to prove conspiracy.)

Sutter's solution was to write more concurrent code, but that's not what helps in this case. Rather the CPU vendors have been throwing transistors at doing more math operations in parallel. All you need to do is make sure you're taking advantage of the vector instructions, whether that's done by the compiler or with intrinsic calls.

Traditionally the fastest CRC code has used lookup tables, I wonder if that's creating cache pressure these days? Or maybe that approach was abandoned while I wasn't paying attention.
Is this a debit card that transacts as a credit card? ie you validate the balance on the spot, approve or reject the transaction immediately, and then run the transaction on the network as a credit card so you can charge credit card rates? (Enough for rewards)

If you can crack the market of auto-restocking a large variety of household goods, I think you're on to something, hopefully just using coffee as a starting point.

I HATE managing 'subscription' services; it's more work than just reordering manually, (looking at you, Soylent and Amazon) and Amazon Dash buttons didn't help because the item you paired it to is never still around when you press the button.

I wouldn't want to deal with all of this overhead for just restocking one supply (coffee) but I certainly see the value if many products were covered.

Best of luck!

Potentially leaving them open to the pettiest securities fraud suit ever.
It's all about antitrust law: what it says, how the courts have interpreted it. It's not about what I or you think.

In particular, "monopoly power" is typically not interpreted (in the US or EU) to mean literally a single supplier but rather whether you exert dominance in the market. You're correct that "it's a duopoly" is not a compelling argument but Apple would not bother to try to make that case either. They'll just point to the fact that they have about a quarter of the market world wide and slightly more than that in the EU alone; evening the US it's a little less than half the market.

I suspect they have a strong case legally, whatever the merits of Spotify's claim, and doubt they would prevail in court (though IANAL -- it doesn't matter what I think). However if the lawsuit is part of a strategy to get the EU competition commission to act, then it can be effective, even perhaps more effective if they lose!
