That's the entire point of the legal system. Which is why some lawyers are better than others. The legal system is a "game" in the sense that you want to eek out every advantage you can in the scope of what is allowed in the rules.

Okay, then I need an addendum:

Explicit [within the context of the language]. And by that I did mean human readable.

const divElement = document.createElement("div");
divElement.textContent = "Hello world";
document.appendChild(divElement);

Is more human readable to me than the jQuery abstraction (that pulls in piles of other potentially unused tooling) than:

$(document).append("div").text("Hello, world");

It's more verbose, sure. But like I said in another comment, if I have to repeat the methods more than twice I'd probably just wrap the couple of lines into a function, like:

function createTextElement(type: string, text: string): void {
const element = document.createElement(type);
element.textContent = text;
document.appendChild(element);
}

And anywhere that's called it's quite clear what is being done

createTextElement("div", "Hello world");

This seems to be preferred when writing C as well, no? Rather than abstracting common methods to more opaque symbols?

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the English, descriptive version and I prefer working with code formatted the same way. The language (JS) has plenty of quirks as it is.

Comparing C/Assembly I don't think is a 1:1 fair comparison, though. Unless you're including TypeScript—which is how I tend to write JS anyway (whenever possible).
I use DevonThink. It's an incredible piece of software.

I have a database for 'research' where items are stored according to the Dewey Decimal categories (no particular reason for choosing this other than it's well organised and well documented).

I then have a separate 'memex' database which contains my journal and other miscellanies.

DevonThink has a rudimentary AI system which attempts to link documents by context. I find it quite useful.
Some things are both harsh and good, and disillusionment is one of them.

In the moment, I can be very combatative and do not tend to fold easy, but if someone demonstrates to me conclusively that I am talking utter bollocks, I appreciate that I have learned something and I try to remember to thank them.
This scenario was (sort of) depicted in a line of dialogue in the Mickey Rourke movie The Wrestler. The main character (a struggling pro wrestler) asks for more work hours at his side job, and his boss jokes “Why, did they raise the price of tights?”
> exploitation of user's private data

You don't understand privacy. If Apple collects the same information as Google, that is just as bad for your privacy as Google collecting that data and doing something useful with it (e.g., allowing you to search your images by content or providing reasonable spam filtering). Of course, Apple collects more information, so it is actually worse (e.g., banking details for developing apps for your own device and location data for AGPS that cannot be disabled).

Microsoft did not try to keep their Android patents secret but did try to keep secret the list of which of their Android patents were used in licensing deals. This is a key difference as, unlike patents, licensing deals and the list of patents included in those deals are not public information and keeping them confidential does not seem to me to be "shady." The individual patents, provided you knew which were involved, could and can be easily looked up and read.

There are more libertarian types who have been consistently for unrestricted trade. And there are patriotic types who see the role of government as booster-in-chief, taking the side of its companies whatever the implications are.

I enjoyed Orientalism. My problem with so many of these works, however, is that they seem to take such an intentional stance. Like the assertion that the language of Orientalism serves to create an other in order to. . .

Like, wait right there.

One of the most valuable insights from scholarship like this is that we are all trapped in power structures. The "othering" that happens isn't the result of some demonic intention, it's just what people do. While Said takes great pains to make this point, most readers of the book that I've interacted with do not seem to grasp it. When I finished Orientalism I kind of chuckled because in many ways he engaged in the process that he was describing, "Occidentalizing" western area studies, as it were. I know it's not, but at some level I kind of hoped the book was a big meta-joke to illustrate the inescapability of the dynamic.
On a side-note, can you recommend any good TUI libraries for Python?

Seems like there's a parallel with the rising cost of US healthcare. In both cases the consumer (student/patient) is insulated from the cost (easy and prevalent student loans + general belief that college is a smart investment/health insurance) of the good (college education/healthcare).

I remain pretty surprised by how many American families are willing to pay twice as much for not-bad smaller private colleges over not-bad huge public universities based on vague ideas of fit and feel. I think you have to get pretty far up the rankings to get to a point where a private college honestly makes more sense than the honors program at your flagship state school.
I don't think he defined his terms very precisely in his document; but as my comment says, yes, there are two levels. There are people who can approve changes to the implementation of Go, and people who can make changes to the specification of Go.

There are 100+ people who can approve changes to the implementation; but there only a handful of people who can make changes to the language specification, and all of those people are at Google.
I've made quite complex web apps with pure CDN-imported (i.e. no Webpack/NPM) Vue as a starting point. They work well, are easier to debug, and get the job done faster. Of course, it's a good idea to take that monolithic JS file and split it up into components for easier future work, but I've found that working like this leads to fewer "tooling hell" headaches.

The idea that you are somehow enslaved by a predefined, concrete purpose that requires you to find power is toxic and must be killed. A person is capable of matching their means with their desired ends and finding meaning while avoiding the trap of needing power. You may arrive at power or influence, but I'd argue that should never be required.

A purpose can (and should) be defined by a process, and a motivation, and a living philosophy more so than a tangible number.

The US isn't magically a developed nation. It is fortunate, sure. And it has absolutely made mistakes and ill-advised compromises for the sake of growth. But universities, factories, literacy, functioning judicial systems, and infrastructure don't fall out of the sky.

It's not arbitrary that developed nations are developed.

Importance of Mentoring in Android Development
I was using an example. In reality there will be some people that go from a $200k to $400k house (eg: getting married and having dual income to leverage for the mortgage). There will also be people going from $200 to $250. Or someone that goes from owning a $500k home to renting a $1000/month apartment off someone that bought it for $250k.

Regardless, adding more inventory at the top definitely does help.

Which is the complete opposite of how juried trials were originally designed.

Operating by citing individual examples is dysrationalism. There is a trade-off here, with an entirely different kind of police state formed when the law can't track down organized crime because you won't even let it look at evidence rightfully in its possession.
You are just making unsupported assertions. I think you are repeating the usual 'facts' used to support the homeless by well meaning but not necessarily well informed people.

I think to analyze this you have to break down what we mean by 'homeless'.

There are people who are temporarily homeless, in that they don't have their name on a lease somewhere. This spans everything from living in their car to couch surfing or staying with relatives, all the way to staying in a battered woman's home or other form of homeless shelter. Homeless advocacy groups love to intentionally misrepresent things and highlight this group, which is a tiny minority of the homeless population living 'on the street', and who mostly have proper shelter, just not a permanent place to live. I'm all for helping these people in every possible way to make it easier for them and help them maintain stability while they figure out a long term living arrangement, especially if children are involved. They may have had some bad luck or more likely have a bad situation they are running away from, but fundamentally they are capable of taking care of themselves and holding a job once they get passed their current difficulties. If you look at the huge homeless encampments all across California you will find approximately 0 people fitting this description in any of them. While people who are temporarily homeless make up most of the overall 'homeless' population, they are mostly living inside some form of shelter since they are stable enough to seek and accept help. Again, these are not the people you see crapping on the sidewalk, although they do need our help and we should provide anything which would help them.

Then there are chronically homeless people, people that live in these large encampments. These are the people we are actually debating. Sleeping on buses at night, panhandling, living on the street long term, and almost universally suffering from severe mental illness or addiction.

It's convenient when someone points at the people who are chronically homeless and causing a lot of problems in cities to defend them by pretending people who are temporarily homeless due to some situation are somehow the same group as the people living in these tents by the side of the freeway, but this just isn't true.

If you look at the statistics, over 80% of people who are chronically homeless have serious long term substance abusers, and over 60% have serious long term mental health problems (close to 100% are suffering from one or the other).

Hardest part to get rid of jQuery was the $.ajax function. Happily now, we can all use the fetch API with some extra polyfills, but pretty much that's it.

`el.insertAdjacentElement`, really? Yeah if you carry jQuery thinking with you, you will probably want to translate the code literally and find substitute for everything. No... You can just use to recreate the part of the DOM that needs to be updated and replace it. It's faster to write and easier to read.

Anyway most of the arguments are not considering, vanilla JS + webpack / babel es6 + npm packages. In a world where side-effects are not well accepted anymore using jQuery is nightmare to maintain.

What's this fuzz about btw, I thought this argument was over?

In this instance I understood it to be idiomatic as it calls a JS Array constructor and iterates on the passed parameter to create it. It's been more common than the call/apply methods for years—at least as far as I've seen. The use of the array literal is always preferred, AFAIU.
Here's the case. Looks like they are appealing.

This article, and it's sentiment, reminds me a lot of the very current "zero waste" movement.

Bear with me ...

When you are sufficiently detached from every mode of production and delivery and generation (like growing food, or building houses or working in the back of a kitchen) then it's very easy to look around your (modern, remodeled, beautifully appointed, first world) kitchen and ... stop buying plastic baggies or only use reusable containers, etc.[1]

But in reality, several levels below your level of life and consumption, an enormous amount of waste is being produced just to maintain the very modern life you lead. It's really not that interesting or impactful that you cut out most of the 1% that you actually touch inside the walls of your house.

This article sounds like the same kind of self-delusion ...

After violently conquering a continent, enslaving or killing or (otherwise subjugating) the indigenous population, and maintaining a political and economic lock on more than half the world (through direct and indirect warfare, economic colonization, and otherwise), the author, who holds an equal share with all of us on whose behalf this was done, opines (possibly from that same kind of kitchen) that he can't think of any use for power over others.

In reality, an enormous amount of power and violence has been, and continues to be, wielded on the author's behalf. It's really not that interesting or impactful that he doesn't want to "boss other people around".

If it's an actual, standards adherent implementation of Go, nobody should a shit what you call it. If it actually changes the language spec, then you would have to rename it for legal reason, but you should also want to rename it - unless it's a backwards compatible superset of the language, you wouldn't want people to think it's YAGC and just feed it their vanilla Go code and be surprised when it doesn't work.

> What a ridiculously silly thing to say

Why? The actuarial effects of 3 packs of cigarettes and a bottle of whiskey are virtually negligible. (No clue with cold pills.) The damage is in at the edge (addiction and overdose). The downsides of voice assistants are similar (negligibly bad on average and potentially deadly on the edge cases.)

Put simply, the mental health risks with voice assistants (with respect to a developing mind) is analogous to the health risks from cigarette use. And just like a bottle of whiskey could be someone’s last, voice assistants could e.g. disclose a teenager’s sexual orientation to a violently-inclined and medievally-minded parent.

No. I'm advocating that people understand that there is no difference in privacy between providing your email data to one company or another. They can then make their own decisions from there.
The only way to stop this is by starving their hunger for clicks.

It would be nice having a global clickbait variable to be attached to an URL or a domain, so that it can be community updated when titles such as this one are used, then a browser extension reads it and warns before clicking it.

Imagine a vim v. emacs trial. Do you think a jury pool recruited from the tech community would be able to set aside any pre-existing opinions on the topic, and use just their general knowledge to fairly adjudicate the case that is actually presented in court?

Yes, that requires a lot of "teaching" of the non-expert jury during the trial. But that's perfectly fine, because the purpose of a jury trial is not so much getting a verdict that is "better" in some objective sense than whatever an expert panel would come up with, but to create a process where the public at large feels represented and is able to follow the proceedings and trust the results.
While I agree with the sentiment, in the long run that would just lead to quick-growing chickens that look nice but are as unhealthy as they are now. See "purebreed" dogs.
