It's hard to explain to people without a strong sense of morality and fairness, but many of us were taught to do the right thing, that "ends don't always justify the means", and that people who cheat or lie or steal or engage in other dubious activities will eventually be punished. If you read the parent post, there's a strong sense that the author doesn't believe the ends justify the means. Your comment suggests that it's ok to do morally reprehensible things in the favor of profits, which is why it's difficult to empathize with the parent.

When you're taught to always do the right thing and not to engage in the profit-maximizing morality-disregarding behavior we see from companies like Uber, when you make the decision not to become employees of those companies, seeing that others did decide to work with those companies really forces you to re-evaluate how the world works. The first step in that process involves disgust reflecting on the bad actors.

Safety as an option is pretty standard in aviation, unfortunately. For example, collision avoidance systems have been in development since the 1950s, but TCAS remains only partially required to this day.

there was a S3 sync client that some people used that did:

aws s3 sync --delete ./ s3://your-bucket/

The delete flag was added by just a very innocuous checkbox in the UI. The result is that it removes anything not in the source directory. Kaboom. Everything's gone. The point is you have no idea what stuff is going to do even if you think it's obvious.

People think that the <div> tag is a meaningless generic block-level element — that's pretty much how it's described in the HTML 4 and 5 specs.

In fact it was introduced in HTML 3.0 as "The DIV element is used with the CLASS attribute to represent different kinds of containers, e.g. chapter, section, abstract, or appendix." [1]

It was retained in HTML 3.2 as "DIV elements can be used to structure HTML documents as a hierarchy of divisions" [2], making it equivalent to the current <header>, <footer> and <section> tags.

The difference in the programming model is that in a message passing language you can define logic around the handling of the message. Usually that logic is nothing more than passing to a method, but in some cases you may want to have other behaviour which you can write code to define. The other behaviour is what is absent from languages where methods are implemented as a jump as described by the parent.

Purely speculating as a physics-interested layperson, but I imagine this probably either changes or confirms/enhances confidence of various cosmological observations where photon-photon interaction might play a role. For example, maybe certain parameters/characteristics of the CMB have uncertainties potentially related to this phenomenon which can now be tightened up, which could have ramifications for inflation theory, Higgs/particle theory, string theory, etc

I like Joe Armstrong's definition of OOP and what he did to make Erlang an OOP language:

http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2009-November/0...

Alan Kay went on the record to state that current OOP miss his point of OOP where message passing is the main point.

Joe Armstrong's definition of OOP in the mailing list give a little bit more context on the other modern features of OOP that aren't truly needed.

In Alan Kay and Joe Armstrong talk, Alan Kay acknowledge that Computer Science is pop culture where the past aren't learn from and why past mistakes are repeated.

I've seen (very) competent programmers at varying degrees of tool mastery. If we're talking text editing tools at least.

I don't consider text editing speed that important to my programming productivity. I like things that help me comprehend code, like syntax highlighting and being able to easily jump to definitions or a tool tip telling me what arguments a function needs.

This is not directed at you particularly, but when I see people say they are faster at navigating the cursor with hjkl than the arrow keys, I can't help but roll my eyes. I'm pretty comfortable with navigating text in Vim. It's great how little strain it puts on your arms to not have to reach for your mouse. But overall the mouse is such a superior pointing device, and I have to use it for tons of other stuff anyway, that I feel like I'm putting a lot less overall strain on myself by using a "normal" modern non-modal editor.

I've used Vim for years. But after forcing myself to learn to use the mouse for text editing tasks, I'm actually in the Zone a lot more often. I almost feel like a 10x-er in comparison to my Vim years.
i fucking love this
If they aren't going anywhere, you can clean them effectively, and the gums are happy, then maybe you don't care. But if they are getting worse, you can't clean them well, etc then you run the very significant risk that you'll be forced to do something about them eventually anyway (which is even more expensive)- better to do it sooner, before things start to deteriorate. I wish I could tell that to 22 year old me.
I think its very likely any social-engagement web space which has a low barrier to entry winds up being astroturfed. All of them.

It's not a Rust Cookbook, it's a "Rust with libraries" Cookbook. For example, in a cake cookbook, I'd generally expect it to teach me how to make a cake, instead of step one being "buy this cake mix and here's how to bake it after you do that". This isn't to say that this wouldn't be useful, but generally I'd expect an "official Rust Cookbook" to only include the "official" standard library.
Ctrl-[ is a good replacement for escape but I've found it's not always supported in every vim implementation. If I remember correctly it doesn't work in the visual studio vim plugin.

Binding something like JJ to escape is also a good solution, but if you ever have to edit on another machine without your vimrc, your speed will seriously suffer. I try to not change/add any core hotkeys for this exact reason. I can ssh into a brand new Linux install and edit with stock vi at the same speed as on my development machine's vim install.

I discovered that Ctrl-C is another default escape alternative. It's worked on everything I've tried so far: vi, vim, nvim, gvim, vim over ssh, vim for visual studio, vim for IntelliJ, etc. This is what I've gotten used to using. Another benefit is if you're using a non-vi editor and try to exit insert mode out of habit, Ctrl-C won't actually do anything, whereas Ctrl-[ could be a hotkey in that program and JJ will obviously insert two unwanted characters in your document.
There are 'performance rights' that are separate from the direct copyright infringement. i.e. if you buy a DVD legally and show it to your church's youth group, you'll be infringing on the performance rights.

hmm, the Patreon claims ($4k/m) is to support both of those developers "full-time". I have to agree the commit history (for both) seems a bit thin. Although not to the point it's alarming or anything, as work is being done. I'm also well aware that's not always the best measure of contributions to software. Especially given the high-quality work going into documentation on this blog...
I think it would be, if you could do some kind of group/context sorting and trust markers against raters. I had a friend who brokered casual book reviews into a pretty awesome online presence, because his reviews were self-consistent and became trustable.

Do you ever stop and check how closely the things you believe line up with reality, or if there might be some things you're overlooking?
I wouldn't. If there was a "Writing Python in the real world" document, that's where it belongs–but the official documentation should only really use things that come with Python, with at most a shoutout to good third-party solutions.

I knew a Canadian who managed to get drafted into the US military, for the Korean war I think, because he had a summer job as a young man in the US, and someone came in and said everyone needed to sign up for the draft so he did with everyone else. And he got drafted. Apparently after he went through boot camp, someone found out and I guess they were embarrassed, they didn't send him to war but they did keep him in the service! They kept him stateside for his commitment. And he didn't even get US citizenship out of it. Of course it never should have happened, but I made a mental note that this is the result of not taking bureaucracy seriously and just going with the flow.
Consider JavaScript's "call" if you are familiar with that:

You say somefunk.call (someObject, ...someArgs)

The function executes in the context of 'someObject' meaning it can read and write its fields with expressions like 'this.color = "blue"'.

You could say that somefunk() is a method and you are making a method-call. But it is not a method of 'someObject'. Yet by calling it you CAN manipulate the fields of someObject.

JavaScript is NOT the type of "Message passing/Object-Oriented" system like Smalltalk-80. You can communicate with objects, meaning share information with them, meaning read and write their fields, by means other than their methods only.
I am absolutely sure at some level, for some games, this is true. Its no different to board games: Scrabble or Monopoly has its place. I have fond memories of diddy kong racing with children under 12.

Once kids learn they can control their fate and complete on equal terms with wider peer-sets, I think it becomes harder but for the primary question: is this bonding-time, I think the answer is yes. If you bond over slaughter and mayhem you might want to ask what values you are bonding over but there is good evidence violence online does not have to translate to violence in real life. "it depends"

Pricing seems fair though. I’d pay 1.99 for an image I needed to use this for commercial use. To do this manually might take a tad longer and may not come out as nice. I haven’t tried it yet but if it’s anything like the examples seems great.
I think it really depends on what you are looking for. Older Japanese homes are, though often "run down", very nice in my opinion. More modern residences have turned towards a manufactured feeling unfortunately but when you take into consideration the constraints of possible earthquake and expense of land it is rather impressive how residences are arranged. The technical challenges, which go unseen, are not simple I would imagine. The boxlike look is, I think, probably driven by land value.

Furniture in Japan is often practical and low to the ground which might not appeal to some people. People used to spend their time exclusively sitting on the floor of their homes. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of Japanese still do.
Here’s your political agenda.

In the entire Anglophone and Francophone world the taxi industry was awful. In the US they were and continue to be racist. They lied about availability and scheduling and they did it for decades. Many people on this website are familiar with the area that used to have the worst taxi service anywhere in the US, San Francisco. Taxi service in NYC existed in large parts of the city in theory but good luck getting a taxi driver to follow the law and actually take you there. And everywhere, absolutely everywhere, the taxi regulator was useless, completely captured by the taxi companies. These awful taxi companies lobbied to keep supply artificially low and prices high, for decades. In France the taxi drivers attacked Uber drivers. Uber’s civil disobedience was completely justified if it broke taxi monopolies.

In countries where taxi service was good and regulators not completely captured Uber has not done much. I’m aware of only one country, Japan.

Fuck the entire taxi industry, with their exploitation of tourists, four hours of saying someone will pick you up in half an hour, racism, tax evasion and broken credit card machines.

That’s the political agenda that supports Uber.

I have books which I know I could read again, but the lack of the book on a kindle has become a substantial barrier. I used to have 8-10,000 books, and now retain around 1500 because most of them were hoarded. not read or barely read. What is left, I barely touch. Because you can't easily do stuff you can do in an eInk device. Even just setting the font bigger because my eyes are bad is a huge thing. I think nothing else about an e-reader may matter as much, search is good, but its arguable the lack of a concordance for all books wasn't a hindrance in times past to understanding things IN a book, if at some cost in having to read it properly.

The graphic about scrolls and codexes, and readers really got me there, as did the google scroll/search graphic.
BTW, if I'm absolutely sure I want to delete all the files in a directory and all subdirectories, and I don't want to bother with a gazillion prompts, I can override the alias with a backslash, as in "\rm -r *". Use with extreme caution, though. Otherwise, your solution of putting into Trash is probably better and safer.
Whenever I use Notepad for quick edits it trips me up with its lack of Unicode support and inability to handle Unix-style line endings.

I've tried to write (i.e. read) code without syntax highlighting for giggles, too. But I felt like it really slowed me down (i.e. cost me more energy to focus).

You know there is a middle ground between Notepad and Visual Studio, in various places on the spectrum, right?

This article implies that if you can't change your diet then you could achieve similar results with chewing exercises. The comments below mention mewing, but I suspect greater force would be better.

Curious if anyone knows of a chew appliance for children or adults that would address the issues mentioned in the article.
You can create a class which has no other methods than 'method_missing'. The explicitly declared methods are just useful syntactic sugar for how to respond to specific messages.
Depends on what exactly you mean by “type inference”, “fast”, and “easy as Python”.

Smalltalk has been pretty fast for ages (without inference, and may or may not be as easy as Python to you).

JavaScript JITs can use a form of type inference, so you get the benefits of speed with no change to syntax. Again, it’s pretty fast, and “easy” is in the eye of the beholder.
> They've done nothing but lose money, more than any private company ever.

This is a weird take for me. I don't mean to single you out but I see it everywhere. If I went and bought $100 worth of stocks, not many people would say I lost that money. Most people would agree that we have to wait and see how that investment works out. In every other context we call it "investing" (some investments work out and some lose money) but here it's just called "losing money" without even looking to see if it's a good or bad investment.

I understood about one concept in 10 here. Not all of the and and but were understood btw. But, that said, it feels like this is saying something useful, and has a formal proof quality which if correct, has a really strong indication of a useful thing: They say up front that noting issues in backwards compatibility this can make a very big difference to the speed of processing inputs.

There is "famous person said so, so it must be true" in this because its hard to contradict SPJ. I don't think I'm even in the corridor, let alone the room of people who could question the logic, but I think the rebuttal needs to be said by somebody who could, if there is one.

Notationally I struggle to see how well people could "read" the ascii version of this because they depended on formal logic typography to make the ->> symbol. I don't like ::= and := and -> and ->> risks which are inherent in new mappings into a language, and in type systems I find myself desperately searching for the "said voice" internally which speaks the symbols as a cogent language statement.

"is" is such a useful word. "maybe" is such a useful word. "x is an Integer" and "x maybe is an Integer" are easy to understand. How would I "say" ->> to be clear its meaning against is and maybe?
I am a bit rusty with spark and I have a practical interview where I will be given various datasets to extract insights from them.
Thanks for pointing out real science. I don't believe much bone can be sculpted or grown once someone's body is fully developed. However, let's keep in mind traditional braces work even in adults because bones remodel themselves continuously. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_remodeling), (https://www.simplyortho.com.au/process-behind-orthodontics/). There's also a reason if bones aren't exposed to forces, the bones start to lose structural strength, example of osteoporosis: (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK45504/figure/ch2.f5/), that's a scary image. Also, bones get smaller if you lose teeth: (https://www.deardoctor.com/articles/hidden-consequences-of-l...).

I don't know how any of this stuff works, I'm not a scientist, but the dots seemed to connect based on everything I believe about our physiology, which is admittedly a little "alternative". I don't think you can do exercises and turn into brad pitt, but I'd be willing to bet that there are mechanisms and signals that our body needs in order to self correct misalignments and/or regenerate that our modern lifestyles don't provide due to our indoor sedentary lifestyles.
