> How? "Have impact" is synonymous to "in principle observable" (...) If the sub-structure of the universe was completely screened away, so that whatever happens there, no bit of information reaches our universe, then I see no meaning in the question of whether or not that sub-structure, or entities inhabiting it, exists.

Lemme try to answer those, as this is the core of the current disagreement I think.

Consider the case of parallel universes -- they are actively studied by scientists as a notion, and there's very much a question of whether they exist, while still "no bit of information reaches our universe" from them.

Does that preclude their existence, or makes such an inquiry into the possibility of their existence meaningless? Several physicists and cosmologists (even major ones) don't seem to think so.
Well, Microsoft often uses suspicious looking URLs for their services.
E.g. Office/OneDrive connects to hosts like "oneclient.sfx.ms" and "auth.gfx.ms".
So as a user you have to trust these domains and you also have to trust the domain management of the island of Montserrat.
It's a matter of economics, mostly: proving that a feature is mathematically correct costs a lot more than implementing the feature itself, and so mathematic proofs are not done except if the cost justifies it.

And because of that the tools that do these proofs do not take off, and thus they get reinvented every few years with each programming language.
There’s one background note I read once, about the filming of the crowd scenes. In Tunisia, where the extras were the local people. Who did not speak English.

So that when the soundtrack of a crowd scene says “we are all individuals”, watch the mouths of the extras. Not saying that in English, I’d suggest.

A piece of passing trivia.
I'm not sure what you mean by "there are different kinds of vegans". The term vegan was coined by the Vegan Society.

They have the following definition: "Veganism is a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing and any other purpose."
At least up until 2 months ago, you had to do it manually, i don't know if that changed.
Great article! I'm always impressed by the thought going into Perl libraries.

There was a presentation years ago, how Perl handled Unicode right and every other programming language didn't (with Python 3 pretty close, IIRC).

Does anyone remember the URL?
So you dispute the findings of the article then? If so, I think that a higher value comment is to explain why you disagree rather than to just say the opposite of what the article says.
From the discussions I've had, and research I've read, fusion doesnt seem to be all that hard... (There are lots of different ways to ram ions together fast enough).

Doing it sustainably, without using hundreds of times more energy than it yields is the tricky part.
(Author of the blog post here.) Great question, thanks! Unicode defines six categories of plural forms: zero, one, two, few, many, and other. The names of these categories always appear in English. Unicode also maintains a collection of all mappings of numerical rules to these categories, for all languages supported by the CLDR. See http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/supplemental/langu... for the mapping corresponding to the Czech grammar.
> Imagine the impact of deleting all financial records at a big bank.

As the crisis management consultant for trading companies, I can say what the impact will be -- about two weeks of sleepless nights and endless phone calls for the likes of me, grabbing all the data they can find from old backups, other counterparties, clearing agencies, and other guys and girls from the banking tech mafia, and plugging it back to the databases while the executives make their best poker faces and try to convince everybody that everything is all right.

Stuff like that (maybe with less scale, but still quite a lot of damage) happens occasionally... by accident, and thankfully stays unknown for the general public.

And this is why the world is perpetually at war. Those who have the power to stop the war-mongers (The People) don't have any idea what is really going on - thus diplomacy has been usurped from most democracies around the world, and is thus: broken.

O(*) complexity doesn’t mean that the computer will perform exactly that amount of operations – it means that as n approaches infinity the algorithm will do at most that much operations – ignoring constant factors and lower order terms.

This is an important distinction to make because some constant factors are so large that using an algorithm with better complexity class doesn’t make sense – a typical example is matrix multiplication – we know of an algorithms in O(n^2.3728639) complexity class [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppersmith–Winograd_algorithm] but the constant factors make it prohibitive to use and we use the “much worse” O(n^2.807) algorithm [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strassen_algorithm]

Czech speaker here. When stating a plural in the nominative form, counts of 2-4 items always use the nominative plural and counts of 5+ items use the genitive plural. This concept is understood by Czech speakers natively and doesn't have any description. "Few" is therefore just a descriptive name chosen by the Fluent developers, and probably covers other languages with a similar concept.
>You are using a stack which is not immutable.

Yes, but that's beside the point. I said "style", not "paradigm". The basic structure, not the totality of the thing. I don't know what CS researchers would think of this distinction, but it seems convenient to have in practice.

You can use a functional style in Javascript without insisting on pure immutability throughout your entire project, and there are advantages to being able to do so. There are also advantages to being able to use a concatenative style, which is why the pipeline operator was proposed.

It would be possible to rewrite that code to use an immutable stack, but for the purpose of illustration - specifically, illustrating that there isn't currently a good way to write in a concatenative style in Javascript - I don't think it's necessary. You can use the style without the paradigm. (Besides, the reference implementation of Joy mutates the underlying stack variable, and if the way to get a concatenative paradigm in standards-compliant, runs-in-a-browser Javascript is to Greenspun's Tenth Law a concatenative language...)

The better option would've been not to use a stack at all, and illustrate it with integers, as you've done here. But you'd still need some way to manage multiple variables to use a concatenative idiom to compute 2x^y.

>Also your examples literally defeat the purpose of functional and concatenative programming. It makes the code worse.

Right. You can follow the rules of the paradigm in Javascript, once you've written enough of an interpreter for a concatenative language to let you do so, but it'll make your code worse. But there are languages that are designed for the paradigm - and in them, you can write good code that follows the rules of it.

>Javascript has been giving bootcampers completely wrong ideas about functional programming and what it is. Learn a real functional programming lang to actually get it. Haskell is a good one.

Not a bootcamper - even worse, I work in a warehouse - but I might quit and become one once my stock options vest...
Here's the real question - how is this implemented in chrome? are signed exchange website that are clicked in google search page and whose url is switched is still running the google search page's code?

If this is so, and it only works for google search's page and not some generic web strategy, this is a massive breach of browser/web-content separation, bigger then even the auto-sign-in to google from chrome.

'Spring' is a useless indicator for versioning. Most developers publish from the northern hemisphere so their Spring is March through May; mine is September through November down here in New Zealand.

Cockroach Labs should rather copy Apple's model, free of hemisphere bias: Early 20XX, Mid 20XX, Late 20XX.

Well, producing honey is also very much part of the bee’s natural cycle, as is laying eggs for the hen and unfertilised eggs don’t suffer. Of course commercial animal husbandry causes endless suffering, but most vegans would probably object even to naturally produced honey and eggs. Just saying.

I used to be annoyed about how a lot of the programmers I followed on Twitter would tweet about politics and feminism.

Then I talked to some people who were on the receiving end of the kind of programmers that don't care about those things, groan when they hear words like "feminism", "intersectionality" or "diversity" and instead believe in "meritocracy" and "rationality".

Now I'm one of those programmers who tweet about politics and feminism.

Sometimes you need to be confronted with the pain you've been complicit to in order to figure out why the people around you all seem to disagree with you and make such a fuss about stuff you don't care about.
Ideally, all researchers would upload their works to an open access repository. If that were already happening, there would be no need for a country-specific arxiv. An Indian arxiv may motivate people in the Indian research ecosystem to upload their works as a matter of national pride. I may not sympathize with the motivation, but as long as the papers are freely accessible, I have no reason to complain.
The TV series that was broadcast just a little before that was also pretty remarkable [1], it involved Miyazaki, Isao Takahata (who later made "Grave of the Fireflies") and Masaaki Osumi, who was in charge of the first few episodes which have a really special jazzy and cool feeling, which I've only seen reproduced at the same level in "Cowboy Bebop" which was made more than 20 years later.

Also, the opening scene of the even later Lupin the 3rd TV series dubbed in Italian will forever be one of my best childhood memories. I don't know how they managed to do it but sometimes the Italians were able to create opening scenes that were even better than the original ones in Japanese, a very hard feat to accomplish as the latter were also very good.

But not all people who avoid more foods than a vegetarian do so because of that ideology. If those people's diets exclude all animal products it's useful to use the term vegan as most English speakers will understand what you mean.

Construction technology is not the same thing as architecture. Architecture as an art doesn't progress.

Music is the same, painting is the same. A piece of medieval music can be perfect on its own terms. It wouldn't make sense to say that electronic music is better because the tech is more advanced. Artistic value and technology are totally separate issues.

bees and hens don't produce "naturally" food for humans, they have their own use of honey and eggs

[addendum to people answering "bees don't produce for bears either" or "plants don't produce food for humans either" : that's a strawman, I merely commented the term "naturally produced honey and eggs"]
Great read.

I have a "free spirit" in my family, a really gifted man who just couldn't settle. He's now in his 60s and does mosaics for people all around the UK.

He doesn't own a house and is constantly staying with friends and family.
He tried working in construction jobs and other things, settling with a family and buying a house.

However after his divorce and other things he is most happy with his campervan conversion and parking it on offroads from motorways.

I asked him once, "Uncle, why can't you stay in once place". To which he replied, "Why do you have to stay in one place with brick walls?".

Sally Rooney’s Great Millennial Novels
One thing that I've always struggled w.r.t i18n is having to split messages up into often times less coherent chunks in order to add things like links or tooltips or styling elements in the middle of the text, which makes it more difficult to localize messages as a holistic piece independent of the source language.

For a slightly contrived example to demonstrate this, let's say you have a string like this:

"Please click here 7 times to confirm"

Where you want to make the "click here 7 times" look like a link by wrapping it in a <a> tag, or just styled differently using a styled <span>.

Using something like react-intl, which is what I've used in the past, you'd have to do something like this:

<FormattedMessage
id="confirm"
defaultMessage={`Please { confirmLink } to confirm`}
values={{
confirmLink:
<a>
<FormattedMessage
id="confirm-link"
defaultMessage={`click here {clickCount, number} {clickCount, plural,
one {time}
other {times}
}`}
values={{ clickCount: 7 }}
/>
</a>
}}
/>

If then some language happens to require a completely different sentence structure that changes the ordering such that the "to confirm" part needs to be interleaved somewhere in the middle of the "click here 7 times" message to sound fluent, this would not be able to accommodate that.

I'm wondering how people generally deal with this, in React and elsewhere.
> in marketing materials mainly targeting North America and Europe

Except that the rest of the world sees the exact same internet and the services are available online through the world wide web, something anybody from anywhere (barring cenorship) can see.

Even if Cockroach Labs delivers a different website to people outside North America and Europe that don't reference the seasons, the rest of the world will still manage to happen upon either those materials of other people who reference the naming scheme used by those materials.

Why not save the hassle and just not bother with the season naming at all? There's enough evidence from the comment section to show such a scheme was insufficiently thought through for an internationally-available product available online that likely has an international community of users who will very likely chat amongst themselves, referencing marketing material not intended for everybody's consumption.

When someone disturbs a colony to take honey or pollen it places a great amount of stress on the bees. This disorients them for a period and, in that sense, their whole order has been tampered with.

We cultivate honey bees just like chickens, cows, and pigs, and like all agriculture animals, their high population is a harm to wild populations: they compete directly for nectar and pollen, transmit diseases, and push wild bees out of their native areas.
Presumably that there are many people who call themselves vegan despite having different opinions on what they should eat and why, and that those people do not necessarily care about or align with the cure definition from the vegan society. Indeed if I look at the vegan society on Wikipedia, it claims vegan originally meant “non-dairy vegetarian”.

>I'm not sure what you mean by "there are different kinds of vegans". The term vegan was coined by the vegan society.

Etymology is not use. Use defines language.

The "Vegan society" of mid-20th century is an insignificant part of the history of vegan ideas. It's just where the term originated in the US as a standalone term.

Millions of peoples call themselves vegans, and have adopted this or that part of veganism (or even just vegeterianism) without having ever heard about the Vegan Society and its founders.

The definition of the term doesn't belong, copyright style, to those that coined them, but to how it evolved in language by those that use it.

The dictionary itself captures that use, and doesn't care about how people originally defined the term in some office:

"vegan: a strict vegetarian who consumes no food (such as meat, eggs, or dairy products) that comes from animals"

Like how surrealism as a term is not defined by what Andre Breton wrote in some official documents the 20s and 30s.

I'm German and I disabled spell checking almost everywhere, because most implementations are extremely poor in German. Word lists are a poor solution to capture different word forms, and I find it surprising that even in 2019, only very few programs get that right (for instance Microsoft Word; it understands some but not all grammar rules). This is another thing where I think a modern (OSS) spell checker could make a difference.

It states that some people mightn't consider figs vegan, however it then goes on to state how non-commercial figs, by definition, do not contradict the official definition of veganism as defined by the Vegan Society, and also denotes that commercially-grown figs are completely clear of the issue anyway.
