They didn't list them, but they said quite explicitly:

IWI and myself spoke to most of the major studios
in the U.S. and Europe. We spoke to 8 out of the 10
most famous studios out there.

By studios I assume they actually mean publishers, who control the copyright. The huge ones. They admitted, DRM is pointless:

We met lots of interesting studio executives, who
totally understood our pragmatic arguments. Many of them
even admitted that there is no DRM that can prevent a
title from being pirated and that some of their movies
sometimes even got pirated before release, just like
games unfortunately.

But failed to do anything about it:

We even got one offer approved by the business folks of a
major studio, but the deal eventually got cancelled
because lawyers were worried that it would give the
impression that majors are giving up the fight agains
piracy.

Also, most of the major studios told us, each with
almost the very same words: "we like your ideas, but
we neither want to the first studio to say yes, nor the
last one. Please let us know when one of the other major
studios says yes, we will then probably consider
following".
Especially since people can pick up trash. You cannot really choose what frequency your phone uses.
That doesn’t mean we can’t explore the idea.

In Australia, and I believe most places with well developed legal systems, you can get in quite a bit of trouble for mistreating an animal.

No so much if you mistreat someone under the auspice of medical or aged care.

Our culture has institutionalised the mistreatment of the terminally ill and frail-aged.

There are good arguments to be made that this should be seen as a problem that should be addressed.
Good data point. However, this suggests that the barriers between oral infection -> vascular infection -> brain infection are somewhat effective.

> breaking something critical that you may have missed in your acceptance tests.

So you can miss things in your acceptance tests but can't miss them in your unit tests? Why do you feel more confident with unit tests than with acceptance tests? Maybe because unit tests break more often so they are providing you with a false sense of security? Do you know that when a test fails for a reason other than the specified assertion its a called a false negative and the failure is meaningless? Do you know if your tests fail and no functional or non-functional requirements of the program has changed the failure is also meaningless (you are testing implementation)? Ask yourself how often does your group give you time to do these hypothetical large refactoring that give merit to large unit test suites? How many times, even, do you do small refactorings and find all the test have to go away or significantly change anyway because they made some implementation assumption that is no longer true? How many times have you gone into a test suite and have seen that its been patched up so many times that you can swear its testing something but you just don't know what? I know that Uncle Bob tells us about test for refactoring and this and that, but I just don't buy it any more. The emperor is naked god dammit. Uncle Bob and the like are very famous because people swallow their anecdote without due scrutiny.
If by places you mean customers that sounds about right.
>Beside the fact that I find your formulation dangerous ("getting ride of them [poor people]"),

"getting rid of" was referring to "exceptions", which include both rich people in poor countries and poor people in rich countries.

>what I am suggesting is to base the price on the production cost + a margin for that specific good, which is a way to not discriminate between purchasers. This would better respect everyone's privacy.

So basically, "everybody pays the same price"?
One added point: while I don’t personally have any moral problem with piracy, if you DO, then buy a digital copy wherever and then pirate a DRM-free version. People like the author are willfully locking themselves down.

I'm probably going to blow your mind wide open here. Sometimes, and stick with me here, talking to people _about_ movies/shows/music/entertainment[x] can be a fun byproduct of seeing entertainment form [x].

Have nuclear plants rendered areas uninhabitable for centuries? I'm pretty sure Pripyat can be made habitable if someone wanted to live there, with enough financial investments. It's just that there's so much already habitable land in Belarus/Ukraine that nobody really bothered.

> Subjectively, most UK cities feel less dense than many continental cities, with less apartment living and more urban streets with two story terraced houses

I suspect this depends upon the part(s) of the UK that you visit. If you were in Glasgow, or Edinburgh, up in Scotland you'd find that the majority of people live in tenements:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenement

There are huge swathes of the country where people live in terraced homes, and still more where people have detached/semi-detached. I suspect if you wandered around in London you'd find both of those, as well as the ubiquitous tower-blocks.

What makes a valid program is not easy to define.

Is this a valid program?

Well, probably not, right now as I'm writing this. But all it takes is someone writing an interpreter that maps words to a suitable instruction set. It probably won't do anything sensible, where do you draw the line? Translating code to other forms and back has a long history that very often has been about doing it for the sake of it rather than for functionality or practicality.

Of course it makes a difference. Epic isn't attempting to make their store succeed on its own merits, or on the merit of their own games; they are buying exclusivity in order to succeed.

That upsets people, and rightly so. Epic is using their cash to complete, and are trying to replace something people love with something worse.

The irony is, I've seen quite a bit of industry chatter whenever the topic of 3rd party DMP audience segments comes up, and the general vibe is they are not at all accurate. And this is why so many large companies are investing in 1p and even 2p data. 1p in particular, depending on their business model, can give them the data they need to remain competitive in a post-GDPR world, assuming they can obtain consent and/or prove legitimate interest.

Yep I feel the same. TypeScript improves my workflow tremendously and I use it for everything now. Going back to regular javascript feels like driving without a seatbelt. Sure you can but why? Type-checking and smarter autocompletion mean I don't make mistakes as often and my productivity is higher. (No longer run the app, see I misspelled a function call, fix and run again, etc.)

I also feel unit-level tests are less necessary with TypeScript. I used to write a lot of JavaScript tests that essentially just confirmed that "this sh*t is all tied together correctly". With TypeScript, if a code change or refactor broke something structural, you know immediately!

Clearly someone died and their family didn't know what they were.
When my dad was in ICU, an elderly woman coded repeatedly for the last probably ten days of her life. My mother spoke about it with disgust. She felt the family wasn't prolonging the woman's life. They were merely torturously dragging out her death because they were not emotionally ready to accept the reality that she was dying and would not be going home again.

(Given that my dad was in his late sixties, I think "elderly woman" as a descriptor from my mother means eighties.)

Movies Anywhere is nice, but Apple is still throwing their anti-consumer bullshit around, i.e. you can't play 4K iTunes movies in 4K on anything but an Apple TV, they get limited to 1080p. Edit: And Apple is misleading consumers I would say, since when you buy 4K movies via iTunes, they don't make it obvious in the slightest that you need an Apple TV for 4K. Edit 2: I just looked and it looks like they do state you need an Apple TV 4k now but I don't think they always did, and I have no doubt a lot of people like me bought movies off iTunes thinking they were getting a 4K experience since the Apple TV disclaimer is almost just that.

Actually, it would be somewhat consensual if it were a setting with a time lock after the first change (e.g. you explicitly commit to the settings you choose for a set time). And there's zero issue with limiting ad distribution, you don't have to allow for queuing 20 ads in a row, just like your human cattle isn't obliged to keep the volume on and their eyes peeled.

It's just that ads are irrelevant, disruptive, and non-consensual at the same time. The whole "ad impressions as subliminal messages" idea is a normalized form of non-consensual (senti-)mental assault or penetration, depending on whether it results in a headache or a purchase.
Chinatown and Shoplifting Family. Both are beautiful, life changing movies.

That doesn't sound like a good use of his time at all. He's clearly a hard-working and reasonably smart/capable man if he can support himself by thrash-picking. Why does he not get a minimum-wage job? Even $11 an hour sounds like a improvement over his current situation. Are minimum wage jobs hard to come by in SFBA?

I don't see that as being indicative of anything. They were only pitching to release classics, and even then, only 1 studio was willing to sign up. The most optimistic interpretation of this is that studios are okay with DRM-free releases for their classics, but not for their newly released blockbusters.
Not that I don't agree with their opinion, but being a language creator mostly like greatly biases you towards over estimating the usefulness of certain features. As such I wouldn't hold language creator's opinions on the value of certain language features over say the opinions of CTOs or VP engineering of large companies, especially as it relates to productivity, maintenance and onboarding.
The final implementation of ListDir has two worse-case scenarios. One is when all files have identical 8 first character but then differ almost immediately. This is bad because I'm telling memcmp that I have 256 bytes of data, which causes it to use the vectorized loop only to exit it on the first iteration. Another is when all files are 255 characters long and differ at the very end. This is bad because string comparisons become very expensive. Even though I'm not showing these benchmarks in the article, this implementation performs very well even in these cases.
Perhaps, this is an example of dystopian authoratian future of India. And there is no prize for guessing.

>Debuggers could input and output memory addresses as proquints as an alternative to hex.

...but why? In debuggers, you're not concerned with memorising the address of an object as much as you are concerned with what the hell is mangling said object. There's no "value-add" for proquints, here. If you were live-debugging in a session with someone else, sure, but how often are you generally doing that?

>Network tools such as browsers, ping, netstat, traceroute, etc. could input and output proquints as an alternative to dotted quads.

Again, what is the value-add? Since I've known 4-octet IP addresses and numbers my whole life, it would take more effort to translate from proquint, to understand the output on the screen. Adding a translation layer in a cut-over fashion instead of a phased-in fashion just seems like wholly unnecessary overhead, only intended to further justify the proquint, yeah?

It would be nice if all the major hollywood studios shared a ledger (not necessarily blockchain) showing who legally purchased what media. And then required all of the downstream digital platforms (Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google) to grant you access to any movies you already purchased. Additionally, it would be great if you were able to sell your access of one movie to another party for cash or swap content.

Movie studios would like it because they could sell directly to consumers and cut out the middle man. Digital platforms wouldn't like it, but would otherwise lose access to the content they wish to sell. Consumers would like it because their library of content would be permanent and would tear down the garden walls. They could also resell or swap their purchases, possibly for a small fee.
There are so many automated safe refactore and build time safeguards you can do with statically typed language, I’m much more comfortable making major changes and extension with Typescript than vanilla JS.

The problem with overengineering is that you don’t have a good grasp on a generalized architecture until you have two or three use cases. Of course anything dealing with cross cutting concerns like logging and authentication it’s easier to add up front.

I don’t know any modern front end frameworks, but when working within a team, I’m all for opinionated popular frameworks. It’s s lot easier to onboard people and from a completely selfish standpoint, developers who are concerned with their careers want to be able to put a transferable toolset on their resume.
That's a good point, I'm sorry my comment was too agressive
I did have an expert answer, and tried to find it in my comments history on my mobile. But couldn't... alas, the gist is yes. Copyright holders and television channels and networks.

There is absolutely no incentive for a copyright holder to release their material on a global scale on a single platform for a comission or similar where one can sell dozens, if not hundreds, of times same material (sell, not comission) for a period of time and renew the contract every three years or so. In order to do that, tv stations wont touch material that everyone has accesss to, because people will opt to watch maybe there and then because of that advertisers will then opt out... It's a complicated circle.
It was someone trying to place a political ad, which by law can only be placed by an Indian citizen. They were verifying that it was actually placed by an Indian citizen.

Assisted suicide has been legal in Canada for a few years now, and there haven’t been many major issues (other than Catholic hospitals refusing to comply with the law).

If you're truly seeing crashes "literally hundreds of times per day", I'm sure the Firefox team would appreciate the information you have! I suspect that the problem is not Firefox itself, which I put through the ringer daily and am extremely happy with it.

>"If someone doesn't send a thank you email, don't hire them".

I recently went through a short job search for programming work in Austin. I made it all the way to the final, on-site interview at three places before landing an offer.

Every time I did not get an offer, I would get an email saying "thank you so much for your time, please reply with your concerns or questions!"

And so, each time, I sent and email asking "what did I do wrong, and what could I improve?" making it very clear I was just looking for a quick, single sentence answer like "more github projects" or "you smell."

I didn't get a single reply. Not one.

After that, I quit playing the ultra polite send-a-thank-you for every single phone call or meeting I was graced with, and sure enough, I got a couple job offers after that.

If anything, the whole experience convinced me that no one maybe outside of sales or filling an executive position really cares about this kind of business etiquette - either in giving it or receiving it.
