In US law, the key phrase from Northern Securities Co. v. United States, 193 U.S. 197 (1904, "the first railway monopoly case") was "in restraint of interstate commerce."

The trust was deemed by the Supreme Court to have been created for the purpose of ceasing active competition between the companies who joined it (there having been recent strife between them in the news, the trust being the negotiated solution, to back this purpose up).

So, very different. A similar case would be if AWS, Azure, and GCP decided to create a holding company that combined all their assets.

>I've wondered if the frequency with which people are experiencing mental illness has increased, or if the rates have remained stable but diagnosis and reporting levels have improved.

Both although I'm very skeptical that diagnosing more people as mentally ill is the same as an improvement. The criteria to be diagnosed with a mental illness has loosened. Probably the most extreme example is the DSM-V declaring bereavement over 2 weeks to be a form of mental illness - depression. What has been considered normal human behavior for most of human history has been medicalized.

I've seen no evidence that increases in diagnosis in the last 2 decades have improved mental health in the developed world. Metrics like the suicide rate have gotten worse during that time. Self-reported anxiety and depression is on its way up.

This is not to say you cannot find individuals or groups helped. However the increase in labelling causes insecurity/stigma, while the field itself like all field does have some deadweight costs. The mental health field also, even if it effective are getting overwhelmed by broader societal issues.

Indeed, pretty much all of the pinky-operated non-dead symbols on the right would be better (so ,./;[]- primarily, maybe also = though that is further away, but not ' because for many people that's a dead key). The comma also universally works for German and French keyboards.

Just writing a unit test for an existing code would actually tell a lot more about the applicant's skills than a coding interview with vi. Or a task like "here is 100 lines of code, there is a bug there, show me how would you look for it". I wish more companies were doing these kind of coding tasks. Instead, all we get where I come from is "write a simple todo list application in your free time".

The wikipedia article doesn't explain it well compared to the accident reports.

The regulators were trying to test the envelope protection system under stressful conditions and it turned out that the AoA vanes were non-functioning which contributed to the crash.

Thus it is relevant to the later 737 MAX crashes.

It is a "normal accident" because of the human factors: e.g. no flight plan filed because it was a test flight, regulators ordering the pilots to defy the air traffic controllers, regulators ordering pilots to go forward with a test they didn't want to do... And on top of it all a maintenance error.
I believe having privacy puts the user at disadvantage since DDG doesn't keep your history or track who you are. i.e. Google knows definitely knows I am a developer and shows the tech related things first even when I search for super generic words. That's why people think DDG doesn't do a good job but I think it does if you can be more specific.

Yet I agree it's not better than or equal to Google when it comes to image search. I guess Google is doing a better job on classifying images.

I don't think the point is to change their business model. The point is to include an alternative way to support them other than ads. Augment, not replace.

E.g. I remove ads (both in their settings and with an ad blocker). However, I would love to support them. I'd probably pay them more than they'd make off of me in ads, as well.
In the jQuery era (Firefox release and IE6-10ish) they didn't change ever few months, in fact they never changed and didn't for about a decade, which was part of the problem.

Working with the dom in JS wasn't hard, it was just time consuming and required lots of boiler plate code.

JQuery made it quick and easy and cross-browser even if FF was still a small %.

JavaScript itself didn't change AT ALL for years before and after jQuery came out, so I have no idea what you are talking about. Plus HTML 5 was years after jQuery, with html 4 released in the 90s, you've got the wrong recollection of history.

The lack of change was part of what made jQuery so ubiquitous.

Seems to be trend with a lot of the major cities. Renting shouldn't be the answer to overpriced-AF housing. Where I'm from, it's not uncommon to pay around or over 1/2 of one's salary for rent for a 1-room studio. How can people on non-IT salaries survive, I have literally 0 idea, and that's extremely scary to me.
IMO which of those works better is a function of the overall tone of the piece.

The passive version probably fits better in a Howto or manual that is focused on just communicating information in a neutral just-the-facts way.

The active version fits better with a style that's going for something more conversational.
Don’t Let People Enjoy Things
I think the right question is, what did Foxconn lose? Maybe they really did just change their minds. Maybe market conditions changed, or they just decided it’s unwise to invest huge amounts of money in a country with insane leadership. If they don’t have a hard commitment then it wouldn’t have to take very much for them to have a change of heart.
You're right, of course, on all points (BTW, WTF is with the downvotes??), but they are technicalities of interest to lispers. I omitted these because I wanted to present a convincing argument that fnord123 simply had bad luck and encountered bad Lisp code. And that there's a lot of good, readable code written in s-exps out there.

The resistance to s-exps in the general population of programmers is bad "news" (if something 50 years old can be called that...) for Lisps. It's hard to fight it in general terms. Pointing out that C, JS, PERL, etc. are often much worse in terms of readability - while obviously true - doesn't really help in convincing someone to look at s-exps differently. This is why I chose Python for comparison and tried to present a positive argument, saying that you can write code "even more readable than Python at its best" in Lisp.

I ignored automatic formatting because it's not part of the language, but of tooling. The problem with tooling is that not everyone uses it. I've had a "pleasure" of working with a 50+ kloc Clojure code base written mostly by C programmers who didn't know or care about formatting tools - honestly, it was a nightmare. Of course, each file could be automatically reformatted into something sensible, but the fact that it was written the way it was and the language did nothing to prevent that still stands. In Python, you at least would get the indentation right.

Readability is a hard problem in general. You're right that it's also a matter of education in the community. You're right that it's almost negligible a problem for lispers themselves, as they know how to reformat the code automatically with a single key press. It is a problem, though, for people who come into contact with Lisp code for the first time. I wanted to convince fnord123 that it's not the syntax itself, but rather how it is used that's a problem - like with every other kind of syntax out there, by the way. I'd be extremely happy if he reconsidered and tried to read some of the better-written s-exps based code.
Sure, but you don't hand out your old email anymore, and really important things you can migrate as you see fit over time. I used to have a gmail address, and basically nobody uses it anymore (and if they do, it does get forwarded).
Yes. And no. It depends on the resolver. If the resolver is IPv6-only as well, then yes.

> For example, DDG is really good at documentation lookups like Java or Python docs

I've kind of found the opposite.

Because Google knows I'm a developer when I search for libraries etc. they're usually at the top.

For example, if I search for 'express' (the NodeJS package) on Google their website is at the bottom of the first page (just below my local newspaper's website, Paisley Express).

On DuckDuckGo it's 1 from the bottom of the second page.

Of course just a single example but you can see where I'm coming from.
This article talks a bit about the difficulties that come with making the transition (and the transition can be hard) but doesn't address the benefits. Working in blue collar positions can give one a unique perspective in WC positions: knowledge of how hard work can be, a production driven mindset, a work hard play hard approach, limited tolerance for doddling and other B.S. and so on. This can be incredibly useful differentiation in the WC workplace.

> There's been this undercurrent in archaeology and historiography since the 1960s that interprets the past as a successful of peaceful cultural, technological, and linguistic diffusions and that downplays evidence of conquest, force, and violence. For example, an archaeological belonging to this school that chanced across a layer of an ancient fortress festooned with skulls, arrowheads, and soot would present that layer as evidence of some kind of funerary ceremony instead of applying Occam's razor and suspecting a conquest and sack. It's infuriating.

I think we’ve been watching different documentaries, reading different books and growing up in different educational environments because everything I’ve been taught about history was that it was hard, violent and often unjust. I mean castles weren’t exactly built and designed purely as aesthetic stately homes. The Bayeux Tapestry‘s most iconic scene is a presumed king with an arrow in his eye. Kids are taught about the beheadings of Henry the 8ths wives (was it two that were killed?) at school. The violence of our ancestors has anything but been brushed under the carpet.

But let’s also not forget that you don’t have to travel that far into our history to see how violent we can be.
Would someone who wants to do this use Google? Even if you google for how to block google from your website, you are likely looking to block Google from pages like phpmyadmin, not all of their website. I don't think this blog post would ever be a relevant search result in Google. Maybe if someone saw this comment, tells a friend, and $friend googles it... It just seems like a remote chance.

> Korean websites requiring users to install proprietary security software was not uncommon.

It still is common. They just replaced ActiveX plugins with native Windows apps because ActiveX has a bad rep. It's still Windows through and through, and most of those "security" apps are borderline spyware.

I have to use Korean banks and government websites daily for business, and I keep them safely segregated inside a VM.
I do, in Portland OR. And I have a dashcam on my bars, so I film plenty of bikes and cars blowing through stops. But I may be a little overly sensitive, I was run over by an inattentive commercial trucker who blew through stop without braking, plowing into an SUV and then rolling over me head-on - when I was stopped at the stop sign at the opposite corner, foot on the ground and everything. I was in a wheelchair for months, and I have quite a collection of Ti implants to show for it all. But I still ride to work every day, and I stop at stop signs, even though that hasn't always worked out so well for me.
The zeroing was somehow priming the cache, maybe it was faster this way because all the zero writes were independent and could easily be run in parallel, whereas normal cache stalls would cause more actual stalling.
I've been using DDG exclusively for a few years now. I don't want to get into anything personal, but just what the heck are you searching for, my man?

I believe privacy, to me as a user, is a huge advantage. I have been using DuckDuckGo for years now and I when I run into something I can’t find on it, which happens sporadically, I use !s to jump to anonymous google results on start page and it turns out I can’t find it with google either. So either DuckDuckGo has gotten better or I have gotten better at telling it what I want, or both. Either way, I don’t feel that privacy puts me at a disadvantage.
Redefine the word "failure" for them.

Convert it to "learning experience" or "amazing opportunity to discover".

This way it will be hard for them to put you down no matter how hard they'll try by their books.

Why would that be too much work? I expect total cost of ownership for the government distro to be way less, than using those "well maintained" ones.
Just use GraphQL. REST is dead.

I've had a lot of experience with REST & JSON API and those "generators" or abstraction people create always end up being very inflexible. With GraphQL, you have full control on what you return, as well full control over how you want to change your data. Easy to avoid n+1 etc. Maybe that's just me, but I think this question is already answered. Took us a few years to discover a better way.

I've been using GraphQL for the last 2 years and haven't had ANY complaints so far. It doesn't try to push you some mindset of how should things look like and instead just try to get out of the way, enabling you do craft requests and responses as you'd like. Of course, with that power, you need to make sure that things stay consistent, but that problem also exists for REST/JSON API's.

Never worked for a failing startup, huh? Okay sure, you might be able to find a job after it, but when you are trying to keep it going and every decision you make could make or break the company, it's hard not to feel the stress, especially if you really enjoy what you're doing.

Also being one of four people that helped a parent company lose a couple million dollars doesn't feel great either.

Or work for a large company where if you screw up it could result in all of your major clients terminating their contracts and the parent corporation deciding to close an entire department resulting in hundreds of people losing their jobs. That's the situation I'm in right now. Thankfully I'm not TOO high on that totem pole that I feel all the stress in the world, and we're probably only delaying the inevitable in the long run, but it is very difficult to relax.

I'd bet 5,000 won that they won't even contribute their translation fixes (i.e. their only positive contribution to the world) upstream. They will also rather go out of business than to follow the LTS cycle and keep their distro up to date. It has happened before. It will happen again.

It’s still my default but results are becoming noticeably worse. For instance, I used to be able to search for uncommon names and have them surface; now DDG seems to try really hard to assume I meant some dictionary word (frankly, a search engine clearly ignoring your actual search term becomes useless really quickly).

A critical feature though is that “g!” to Google will never return AMP pages; as long as that’s true I will always start from DDG.
> the food still comes from (literally) a metal shipping container

1. This is only true in some cases, there are all variety of hire kitchens used in this program.
2. Much food you consume comes from a metal shipping container at some point, because they are suitable for many different purposes. Is one use okay but the other not?

> this is shady business practices which is what the whole point of my post was about

As a customer, I truly believe this to be a innovative business practice that benefits me. The restaurants are marked as 'Editions' partners.

> a metal shipping container which has not been certified to the British food health/safety regulations

The only partners allowed to use Editions kitchens have a 4 or 5 star hygiene rating for their main kitchen.

You do realise that the ratings are based on the practices used in that kitchen and not the building itself don't you?

Essentially the exact same kitchen could be a zero or a five star rating based on what the chefs do with the food and the environment.

So the idea of the 'metal box' being somehow inherently unsuitable - when the interiors are fitted out to the highest modern standards and used by teams who have already proven they meet high hygiene ratings - is simply not true or useful.

> It still comes from somewhere which is not where i ordered it from.

If you have worked in a restaurant kitchen you will have observed that this is true of much of the food that goes on the plate. This includes:
1. additional unseen kitchens where the bulk of cooking takes place
2. entirely separate kitchen where prep takes place, often days beforehand
3. part-made dishes and ingredients ordered in and made in locations unknown to you
4. pre-made sauces, breads, entire dishes ordered in and made in locations unknown to you

Show me the hygiene rating of the kitchen where your fries or ketchup are actually produced.

> you can almost guarantee that "5 star restaurant" isn't going to be sending their best chefs away from the proper kitchen into a metal box

Most kitchens will use their best chefs at new locations precisely to ensure their success, the trainees will take over at the main location due to its ease and familiarity.
