You’re really going to double down on the pedantry? Rather than simply recognize that the most literal interpretation of a word isn’t always the correct one, you argue that there’s a possible loophole. Maybe the author really thinks literally nothing in the universe could penetrate the vault. Not a missile. Not a comet. Not even the US federal government who owns the vault and ostensibly has access. Long after the heat death of the universe, there will still be the Fort Knox vault floating in the nothingness, along with everything anyone has ever described as impenetrable, because that’s how words work.

Let’s be honest. You are not worked up because of my disdain for this piece or for flowery writing in general. You don’t care about me, nor should you. You are worked up because someone has the audacity to not hold the same opinion as you. It’s not possible to simply have differing opinions, especially if there’s a compelling argument for not-your-opinion, so the only possible reality is that they are wrong, wrong, wrong. So you’ll reply to every comment they make, even if it’s not to you, and you’ll argue irrelevant tangents and willfully misinterpret what they said and intentionally try to goad them to anger to prove that you are the one who’s right. Good luck with that.
Key signatures and accidentals have a practical benefit in indicating the tonal centre. All pitches are not equal, at least not at any given moment. Sharps and flats look like a kludgy hack, but they provide clear visual hints of highly relevant musical information.
Thanks! I'll definitely chat with the VS Code folks about whether we can have a unified solution to the notification problem.

Would you mind opening a set of Github issues so that we can get your suggestions onto our backlog? https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues

Interesting that you would like to have the extension run in more than one language. What other languages do you use regularly where you'd get a benefit from the interactive window?

Thx!
Integrating a digital wallet into a browser elevates money to a first-class citizen on the web.

That changes everything about microtransactions.

I now have one location to top up and manage my wallet and can effortlessly pay for content across the web in a consistent, familiar way.

The historical approach of endlessly getting out a plastic card and typing private information into a multitude of different forms will seem terribly old-fashioned.
I bought Benjamin Dreyer (the author)'s book on writing style, and the arrogant title of his book alone should have been a red flag. I'd strognly recommend On Writing Well instead.

I actually am a fan of the AWS CDK for this reason, and its concept of "constructs".

My big application has a dozen packages, one of which defines generic cloud constructs that host and deploy the other packages as a distributed service.

If we wanted to switch clouds, we'd just have to re-implement the constructs we use for a new cloud; generic things like "ingress data pipeline", which contain dozens of AWS resources each, but have a semantic grouping and defined permissions boundaries.

But we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

Everyone's focusing on charts and notebook types; I'd like to highlight something I find particularly important: reporting uncertainties. I strongly agree with recommendations in this article, and personally I don't think a work qualifies as professional if it reports measurements without providing uncertainties. And no, I don't trust it's correctly rounded off (no more digits than justified by certainty level) - too many people don't care or know they should care, and too many areas of endeavor are poisoned by marketing.

A trivial every-day example of why that matters: a person steps on scales twice in a span of few days, and notices 1 kg of gain, and panics. The reaction is completely unwarranted, given that a cheap household electronic scale will be accurate to +/- 0.5kg in this range, and random daily variability of weight is somewhere around +/- 2 kg. They may as well have lost their average weight over that span, but it's hidden under random and systemic errors.
Right, so technically there is no reason to deal with monads directly. Andrej Bauer's Eff, is an experimental language, which feels a lot like Standard ML, but incorporates the power of monads (really, algebra effects and handlers) under the hood. There's really no reason to conflate "monads" (the idea) with "monads" (the hairy syntactic overhead), and believe me, it gets hairy.

In my opinion, yes, if it leads most readers to misjudge some fundamental properties of the problem as a whole. Again, I'm not saying this article is guilty, but most are.

That's the basic setup of the Brave browser. You get shown a few Brave ads every so often and you can automatically "tip" sites by setting your preferences. It's kind of like Spotify where whatever you "earn" during a month gets distributed based on the amount of time you spend on a site. You can also not tip anyone but the Brave tokens expire after a while for the end-user if not used. This is just my understanding from using the Brave browser. I should note that I'm working for a startup in this space that is pursuing a different model but I support any and all efforts to put the Internet economy back in the hands of creators and average people.

Good point -- I haven't tried gnu emacs's X11 driver in ages, so I'll give it another try. Does gnu emacs's X11 display driver finally have a way to keep running after the X connection terminates, and reconnect to a new X server (or multiple X servers at once)?

Under screen, I keep long running emacs sessions with multiple shell buffers running for months and sometimes years, with all the files I'm working on opened up. Each shell buffer might be configured for some branch of some code, with an interactive python or whatever shell running the code connected to the database, with a bunch of useful commands and context in its history. It's a lot of work to recreate all that state.

(Digression: Bash has no way to save and merge and recreate and manage parallel history threads, does it? Or does the last shell that exits just stomp on the one history?).

Back in my Evil Software Hoarder days, I worked on the NeWS display driver for UniPress Emacs 2.20, and later on the NeWS display driver for gnu emacs. Here's a brochure from February 1988 about UniPress Emacs 2.20 and "SoftWire" (NeWS without graphics).

https://www.donhopkins.com/home/ties/scans/WhatIsEmacs.pdf

It supported multiple display drivers (text, X11, NeWS, SunView), as well as multiple window frames on each of those displays (which gnu emacs didn't support at the time), and you could disconnect and reconnect to a long running emacs later. In effect it was a "multi user emacs" since different users could type into multiple displays at the same time (although weird stuff could still happen since the classic Emacs interface wasn't designed for that).

Emacs 2.20 Demo (NeWS, multiple frames, tabbed windows, pie menus, hypermedia authoring):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhmU2B79EDU

Here are some examples of where the rubber hits the road in NeWS client/server programming of an emacs NeWS display driver. They both download a PostScript file to NeWS that handles most of the user interface, window management, menus, input handling, font measurement, text drawing, etc, and they have a corresponding C driver on the emacs side. There's also a "cps" file that defines the protocol (which is send in tokenized binary instead of plain text), and generates C headers and code stubs. Together they implement an optimized, high level, application specific "emacs protocol" that the client and server use to communicate:

You mean SCA-3DS or?

The Stripe 3DS and SCA page says a modal in combination with Elements is fully supported:

Pre-built modal: The Payment Intents API integrates tightly with Stripe.js and Elements to simplify the authentication process. If your Stripe integration uses handleCardPayment or handleCardAction, Stripe.js automatically handles the authentication process—displaying a modal dialog where the customer can provide the requisite information.

This makes it look like we can build a modal version via Elements which fully supports SCA and 3DS through another modal. All on one page.

Also, the Paymentintent docs say we have to set the viewport to mobile on our page so that the UI of Elements can handle 3DS, this makes it also look like it works on our page through a model without redirects. Otherwise Stripe would set the viewport.

Does Elements fully support 3DS and SCA all on our page through modals or not?
Not disagreeing but it's interesting that you'd lump Java in with Javascript and Python. Java certainly has its problems but it's considerably faster and more efficient than both.

EV is not a solution to any problem, much less this. This is a bigger problem with how the web communicates identity, I wouldn't really blame Plaid/Stripe/etc, their alternatives suck.

I think Stripe is a great example for this because in many cases, it's not actually clear where your credit card/etc is going, webpages just silently pass the form fields to Stripe.js.

They're more related than it might immediately appear - purposefully choosing an anonymous donor over an open ID donor is often correlated with shame and secrecy around infertility, whereas choosing an open ID donor signifies acceptance, empathy, and a lack of shame/secrecy.

To shorthand the basic principle, you’re only promised privacy for your personal papers.

Since this info is shared with a third party (the phone company) it’s no longer considered private.

Of course that’s problematic but that’s the basic concept.
In the US, the typical consensus for law enforcement & government entities, is basically use whatever's available that's beneficial and when nothing has been written into law about it. So I doubt warrant covers much about digital data and that can be accessed from third parties or intercepted when traveling over the air with special devices.
This is a problem of poor infrastructure and corruption. Many of these resource-rich countries are politically unstable and lack the infrastructure to attract legitimate foreign investment. The regulatory framework is also broken, making it nearly impossible for new entrants to legally participate in the industry.

A dysfunctional legal market leads black markets to flourish, as miners need some way to sell their goods, and traders want to profit exporting the gold to foreign countries. This leads to extralegal organizations, like criminal syndicates and mafias, forming to protect illegal producers and connect them to external markets.

And so, to fix this, African countries need to not only crack down on illegal exports but also make it easier for legal entities to enter the industry. The government needs to provide a safe business environment for legal producers. That will cause illegal producers to naturally decline, as efficient legal production will lower costs.

Of course, this is easier said than done. Structural reform of corrupt kleptocracies is incredibly difficult. But without top-down reform, restricting illegal exports will accomplish very little beyond worsening poverty.

> There definitely is a difference between someone accidentally tracking dog poo into your house vs someone doing it intentionally; in the first case, you all them to clean it up, and in the second case you break the friendship and/or seek criminal prosection.

But the point is that this assumes you're able to tell the difference between the two cases- intent is often a really hard thing to prove. And often discussions about whether Facebook acted in good faith when it did certain things neglect the fact that they made a big mess everywhere, that needs sorting out regardless of their intent.

The Phantom time hypothesis?

Not sure what the exact complaint is here, though using said or sounds to refer to something written can be considered a defect. Comes up often in speech, too. One would substitute "read" or "reads" or something like that.

Also, using stock phrases—especially ones that are overused—where a word would do ("however" or something along those lines) is often discouraged.
It's worth remembering the core mission for the Pi was to be an affordable educational computer. In that context, this publication is entirely on-point for the foundation.

There's an almost symbiotic relationship going on where the foundation doesn't exactly ignore the hobbyist or industrial communities - far from it - but they are still holding to their core mission, and these notable, but ultimately ancillary communities provide the budget for it.

I did the exact same thing as you around the same time-frame and with the amount of comments I see on here extolling Amazon I assumed I was an outlier. What made you tail off? I was in the UK and I started noticing that while they had originally been cheaper for most things, they were not and the convenience (or inconvenience if I was out when a package was delivered) didn't really offset that particular delta. I made the exception for about a year after I caught on to that in order to buy second hand books because typically they would retail for 1p with a ~£2.50 postage fee but I stopped that after a while for various reasons (travel, ebooks, relocation).

It sounds dystopian, but I'm not really sure I disagree with the government here. We allow our personal data (to include real time location) to be collected and sold on third party exchanges. I'm not sure there is a strong argument for the government needing a warrant to access the data given how freely we already disseminate it.

The solution would be to not disseminate it, but we, as a collective, have agreed to not make privacy a concern so far.

The biggest irony of all is, as we saw with gdpr, most hn users are nominally for privacy until regulation is implemented and we realize that we(most programmers) are the people making a living off of the current state of privacy.
