more power to you. Personally I prefer to pay during tax time rather than at time of purchase. Or better yet, if this is now a federal sales tax then make it a federal sales tax. Stop acting like we're all obligated to pay different amounts depending on state.
Another day another story of an old style of business facing obsolescence due to shifting market conditions.

The narrative for stories like this one is usually “businesses stuck in their ways refuse to adapt and die out”, painting the business as fools who die due to their incompetence and conservative mindset. I’m curious, though; is there any reason why Japan’s manga publishers might want to retain their focus on print media rather than move to a digital focus?

Going digital seems like the clear optimal move here, they might even consider encouraging artists to create their own webtoons and make Japan competitive in that space. Why might they not want to do so?

At the end of the day great content wins though. The medium’s convenience really only makes a difference in the “filler” level content we consume.

For the winners of the power law in manga we’ll go wherever the great content happens to be. (That being said japan is so bad at modern global digital licensing / distribution they really have been leaving tons of money on the table for the last decade+)
I am not at up to date on this either, but as far as I know, the old status quo was this:

For non-blocking sockets and the like you have what grew out of the readiness model from select and poll. Today on Linux that's epoll.

This model never worked for files on disk. There is the POSIX aio API for that. On Linux, glibc implements that and it's always been based on synchronous I/O in thread pools because the kernel support isn't good. And I guess there's been Linux specific things like io_submit(2), which as the article states only worked with O_DIRECT and sometimes fell back to synchronous I/O.

It says the new mechanism works with both files and sockets, but I imagine it's still reasonable to use epoll for sockets, and only use this new stuff for files on disk. One good thing about the readiness model for sockets is you don't need to allocate memory upfront every potential read the remote host might trigger.
WinForms is outdated, "replaced" by WPF and I think apps on the Microsoft App Store have to use WPF instead of WinForms.

So it would make sense if they're pushing .Net Core to be cross-platform, that they want to eventually push the Microsoft App Store "buy" button to be cross-platform as well, with a GUI framework to support those apps. Speculation, but .. of course they will want to.

> It's still hard to read if you inline multiple ternary operators the way OP suggested is easy.

I disagree. The ternary version is much easier to read than your if-else. If-else statements can feature compound statements and side-effects where the ternary version is simpler because it only returns a value. There are fewer corner cases to consider.

> It adds cognitive complexity, and hides bugs because your brain will fill the details on what it assumes it does, versus the subtleties of what it actually does.

It adds no complexity. It's significantly easier to understand than if-else.

> which isn't quite true. It's actually:

Right, there's literally no semantic difference between those two.

> No - but there is a subtle semantic difference that you have to stop to consider when you're scanning this code.

You really don't. There's nothing special to consider, no corner cases. It's literally condition-on-left-value-on-right.

As recently as 2 years ago, Lenovo tried to sell me a laptop with a mechanical HDD. They actually succeeded -- their price for an SSD was insane -- but I ripped it out and replaced it immediately.

Today a mechanical HDD isn't even an option. The new generation of the same machine is offered only with a PCIe SSD.

That's just one point of anecdata, but I think it's a pretty stark one.

Yes agree on the shortcut 'for free' aspect, but I'd consider expunging unused default menu items as part of a very basic pre-release checklist, rather than 'polish'. I don't share the frequently-expressed antipathy to electron apps, but many are quite shoddy, which only adds to their poor reputation. I've seen commercial apps which (for example) replace their whole window contents with a dragged image.

I'll keep an eye on Bitwarden - I like the overall shape of the project, but it's not ready for me yet (had some problems with the firefox extension also).

Anecdotal, but my wife is obsessed with webtoons and eagerly awaits new updates to the (50? 100?) different stories she’s following. It’s similar to the way I consume podcasts. She especially likes romance webtoons.

Before finding webtoons she had no interest in graphic novels, comics, anime, etc. and still doesn’t. She just likes her webtoons.
Sigh.

I think you are trying to point out that we were wily enough to survive past swings with a fraction of the technological arsenal we have today. Is that fair?

We know some humans survived history. How many? Where did they live? Did the survivors stay in a single place called "home" for thousands of years, change be damned? Did the survivors follow good weather and food? Did they live near the ocean, where all temperature variations are smoothed out? Did they migrate for adventure, or follow the whims of season and climate?

When they moved to a new place, were there already humans there? Was there enough space, shelter, and food for both groups? Did they welcome each other, or fight?

It's not that I think you're wrong. We're creative, resourceful, persistent, stubborn, and adaptable. But I think the picture you're making leaves something important out. For most of that graph, we were smart, rare, small-group primates that used wit, teamwork, and basic tools to overcome our natural environments.

It's probably no coincidence that metalworking turns up so near the emergence of our early social and organizational super-organisms. You don't need bronze tools to hunt shellfish, fruit, or rabbits. Our super-organisms needed them to raze forests, clear land, excavate rock, and make war.

Surviving climate change is not be about overcoming our environment a final time. I agree, that is a fight we could win. Surviving climate change is about overcoming our nature as individuals, the nature of the social and organizational super-organisms we form, and the historical accumulated impact of both with interest.

Web manga exists already as both redistribution and early talent development. What they are really lacking in is an eye towards global distribution.

One reason for fixating on print is the existing strong relationships the publishers have with both the physical book stores and the printing houses in Tokyo. Culturally hard to blow up those decades old relationships. It’s how it is.
It's too bad this quote was published by Dan Baum in Harper's 22 years after Ehrlichman might have said it and after Ehrlichman was not alive to confirm. I would say the quotes around the text are not really appropriate for this most important of historical memories. It is not like something recorded on the Nixon tapes.

From the same CNN article we have the Ehrlichman children saying: "The 1994 alleged 'quote' we saw repeated in social media for the first time today does not square with what we know of our father. And collectively, that spans over 185 years of time with him," the Ehrlichman family wrote. "We do not subscribe to the alleged racist point of view that this writer now implies 22 years following the so-called interview of John and 16 years following our father's death, when dad can no longer respond. None of us have raised our kids that way, and that's because we were not raised that way."
Looking forward to trying it out. I hope this means nodemon, etc will work as expected without having to enable 'legacy mode'
People don’t believe it will happen, or assume engineering and science will save the day. If people really understood the significance of what’s happening, funding for this stuff would be #1, 2, and 3 in terms of priorities, far ahead of universal health care or free college. But again, nobody believes it will happen, or assume that engineers and scientists will save the day.

Fun fact: taxing consumption (the thing that destroys the environment) at the same rate as a typical EU country would raise almost a trillion dollars annually that the US could direct towards funding research and development into climate change solutions.

No fundamental reason. ggplot2 was released 4 years after matplotlib, and the Python ecosystem was already centered around the latter by the time it became obvious that the grammar of graphics approach was superior. Python's surging popularity in the data analysis space is also pretty recent.

But any approach to a ggplot2 equivalent either has to abandon the massive ecosystem around matplotlib, or build on top of it – and matplotlib's heavily state-based approach makes that difficult. Plotnine is attempting to do that, I hear it's pretty good.

Did you make a bad deal if the other party reneges? If you pay someone for something and they don't deliver was that you making a bad deal? No way!

The weaker/winning rider offered the deal. It was mutually beneficial. If they fight, they likely get caught and neither gets 1st or 2nd. If they make a deal and cooperate, the stronger/losing rider would get 1st and the weaker/winning rider would get 2nd.

I don't think that's a bad deal for either rider. To then break the deal is where the problem is. The weaker/winning rider would have had no shot to win without lying first. Thats unsportsmanlike in a sport where these deals are considered ok (which they are).
The comfort and amenities have little to do with the base aircraft selection; it has to do with how the carrier chooses to outfit them, how old the fleet is, and how well-maintained the planes are both long-term and between flights. One of the reasons Southwest's flights are so cheap is because they remove all the legroom, all the amenities, shrink the restrooms, etc. No matter what they order, you're still going to be packed like a sardine into a dirty, no-frills environment.

Boeing Archives Part 2: Lots of Boeing Airplane Models (2010)
I see. Would that be such a disaster under your proposal? Original code is:

async fn f<'a>(r: &'a i32) -> i32 { ... *r ... }

Having some callers future{ f(&i) }.await().

Now the new caller comes in, so we add a function f_future:

fn f_future<'a>(r: &'a i32) -> impl Future<Output = i32>
let i = *r;
async { ... i ... }
}

The new caller uses f_future and the old callers keep using f. To prevent duplication we can factor out ... i ... into a function g(i) and do g(*r) in the async fn f. The other callers can migrate from future{ f(&i) }.await() to f_future(&i).await() over time.

It's not as ideal as not having to change the signature at all, but signature changes can be dealt with. Or is this a big problem with OS threads?

Even now looking at the surface range, the surface go has all the computing power I need but is hobbled by a 64GB SSD and jumping from that at $499AU to the 512GB I'd consider the bare minimum you have to spend $2,879.00AU and upgrade several other components I don't care about.
You could theoretically sell devices for people to install in their back yards to brew their own fuel? Even assuming, for simplicity, the use of mains power and ethanol fuel.

There is a pretty strong culture in bike racing of making deals like this and sticking to them, because in a break like this, if two people work together, they have almost literally twice as good a chance of winning.

For example, Lance Armstrong and Marco Pantani on the famous Alpe d'Huez in the Tour de France: Lance offered him the stage win if he would work with him so he could make time on his rivals for the overall 23 day race general classification:

http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/armstrong-if-i-was-the-c...

In top level professional riding, if you renege on a deal like this, you will have a seriously hard time making another deal like this in the future and that will seriously impair your professional prospects, because these deals are everywhere because of the multi-goaled nature (stage vs. overall vs. mountain points vs. sprint points) of the sport.
The code snippet doesn't make sense to me:

a = 1/(1+7)
b = 2*a+sqrt(a)
c = atan(b)/(1+c)
return c+2*d

Note that the assignment to 'c' depends on it already having a value?

The prison example is clearly the most difficult. Under oppressed governments, you may still be able to use digital help to create offline communication parcels. When you're in prison, you have your brain, a pen, paper and if you're lucky, a secure destruction mechanism that doesn't immediately raise suspicion.
Taxes stress me out. If the government could easily send me a bill of my sales taxes at the end of the year I might prefer that but given the system we have I rather pay at time of purchase over manual and more error prone tracking over a year.

Regardless, and maybe it's not a great distinction, I find a difference in a company not charging sales tax vs a company sending an excited e-mail about how they've found a loophole to avoid sales tax. Maybe that's just me.
And on that note, are choices like these autocratic top-down decisions, with each attack approved by those leading the NSA, or is it run-of-the-mill, and done without explicit authorization per target by each team? Or are teams separated by target?
They’re essentially the same thing. I see ads for webtoons but the tropes are the same you see in manga. Very large breasted women who are all attracted to the socially awkward nerdy guy.

There's a big difference between neglecting to go the extra mile to do the accounting and register with the state to pay use-tax on out of state purchases, and deliberately using some service to get around the tax requirement. I'm surprised there's even a legal workaround (as opposed to some accounting trick that makes it harder to trace the purchase back to you, but doesn't really eliminate your requirement to pay the tax).

Yes, the obstacle to wider use is policy and regulation.

For those interested, some thoughts:

There are two types of users from a policy perspective. People with specific diagnoses/diseases, and "healthy" people.

For people with specific diagnoses and diseases, the most important work is FDA approval of MDMA and psilocybin. MAPS, COMPASS Pathways, and Usona are working on this and they require a bunch of money to get through to a successful FDA approval. Funding this research is a very high leverage way to enable policy change, because the FDA has a relatively clear process to approving a drug for medical use for patients with relevant medical diagnoses.

For "healthy people," there needs to be another route. Some people are working on ballot initiatives and legislation that will impact this (see Oregon, Denver, Oakland, Iowa) and that may be a high leverage route. But the path here is less clear. As you note in some cases, some types of research can be helpful for boosting political change, whereas others aren't going to be an efficient use of capital for that goal.
I prefer to put it into a function and do early return/guard clauses for complex conditionals:

It's called fractional reserve lending... and it works until it doesn't. As long as your "divedsified" losses are less than (~10% of loans) your reserve collateral (actual Treasuries and Rentable real estate) which generate cash or can be used to pay taxes... then you're solvent. If not then assume the Fed will bail you out... they did last time.

Meanwhile, you can lever your "low risk" loan income 10x so that 1-3% marginal yield looks like 10-30% profit. Hard to give up that crack pipe!

The New Windows Terminal
Reason Why Everyone Hates Student Loans – Road to Success
I'm absolutely with you on that one. I probably should have been even more clear on my position, I really think app store agreements and rules need to be reigned in, somehow. Right now it looks like it's probably going to be done, badly, by various governments. Not ideal, but neither of the major players show any real intent of fixing their issues, different as they are.

There are too many parallels between how the feudal lords of old treated indentured labour/bond servants/serfs and how app developers are treated today. Difference too, clearly, but the similarities are concerning nevertheless.

In feudal society the lords were effectively above the law, and from the perspectives of an app developer, the app store gatekeepers are similarly above the law. Not literally so, but effectively so. We've allowed companies to create their own virtual kingdoms where the ToS is the constitution, and the serfs have no rights but those given by the king.
That's fantastic thank you.
