Practically every image editor on the planet split saving in the application's native file format and exporting to foreign file formats.

Hell, even document editors do this.

The expected workflow is, therefore, that exporting is a different dialogue. Not terribly hard.

To be fair, in a professional setting that is often not an option when it comes to programming languages. Usually you will have a situation where the language has already been chosen when you join a project. When you start a new project at a company, the language chosen is usually dictated by either what the company uses already or some process for reaching a consensus on what to use. What you don't really want in a professional setting is to use a lot of languages. For a large number of very good reasons.

Picking a language involves compromise.

I think what I perhaps reacted to were the somewhat superficial nature of the blogger's complaints. Especially when claiming to have done non-trivial projects in Go. Perhaps as a programmer, but it doesn't sound like someone who has lead development and had to make hard decisions.

Non-trivial projects usually give you plenty of other things to worry about. For instance how good the language is for collaboration, how easy it is to model things, how clear is the code, how does it make use of the machine resources, will the language still have a following 10 years from now, what does the tooling look like, what quality are the open source contributions, is the standard library usable, do the third party libraries cover enough of what you need?

And then there are the developers. You need to be able to recruit developers beyond your circle of friends. You want that pool to be as big as possible. This is why I avoid languages that have too little mainstream appeal. It doesn't help me much if I can hire some Common Lisp guru to build a lovely piece of software if I can't find anyone to maintain it once he or she leaves.

Being the one to decide what language to use for a project is a thankless job because you will always disappoint someone. Not everyone will or can take in the larger perspective. As a manager I seriously do not want to hire developers that always want to program in some other language, often one with a small following. Or who want to change languages every 2 years. Because if they can't learn to live with one of a selection of mainstream languages that are "80% okay", why would I think they are any better at dealing with difficulties in other languages? I expect good programmers to adapt practices - to make languages work for them. To be professionals.

When we switched from Java to Go in my department it was a team decision. As a manager I let my team decide what to use, HOWEVER, I made it clear that everyone will make an effort to learn whatever is chosen and I don't want any whining or excuses. If they found Go to be the wrong thing, fine, we have Java which is the devil we know to fall back on. But only after everyone has made a real effort.

That was 3 years ago. We now have somewhere in the neighborhood of 100kLOC running in AWS and it has been astonishingly productive. Sure there has been _some_ whining about small details, but on the whole adopting Go was surprisingly fast and surprisingly pain free.

BandCamp has been my primary source for indie music of all genres. It's great to see Radiohead using this platform to share their work.

One example of a label I would have never known about is Daptone Records, from NYC. The Budos Band, Sharon Jones, the Frightnrs and many more great artists have produced really great albums with this label. Sharon died in 2016 but will live on through her work as an artist and through the label she made as long as platforms such as BandCamp support it.

I think you're wrong, nobody is confused about shift of the curves. The problem really is, there can be multiple equilibriums even if the curves stay the same.

It is kind of difficult to see and understand why, because the traditional supply/demand theory and diagrams obscure this heavily. But if you look at the problem differently (see my other reference to Blatt), and start taking into account several products at the same time, you will see why.

VGA 640x480 was 16 colors, wasn’t it? The Mac II did 256 colors at that resolution.

The software side also helped. Windows (¿mostly?) ran a fixed palette, while the Palette Manager on the Mac made it easy for applications to pick whatever color (out of 16M) they wanted.

On the hardware side, most PCs still had monochrome monitors, and even those with color monitors didn’t typically have ones as good as the Trinitrons that Macintosh IIs often had.

Fat Duck was criticised for poor food hygiene practices.

They can dramatically amplify the viral / bacteria presence though. Norovirus is pretty nasty (potentially fatal). Very small amounts of norovirus will cause illness. This is why excellent hygiene is needed in restaurants.

Fat Duck was slow to respond to the incident; they had staff working who should not have been working due to sickness; they were using the wrong cleaning products.

I'm happy all of the things you list are going away.

The first one is unreadable. If I saw that in a pull request at work, I would ask the author to change it. (But I wouldn't have to; the people I work with know better.)

For the second, it's confusing to have two different ways to write the same thing; arguably you should always be writing type ascriptions for function return types (even though scalac doesn't require them) both for readability and avoiding bugs.

For the third, argument list adaptation is a great way to write bugs by accident and not notice. Good riddance.

The fourth is really a style thing, and a pretty weak one at that. I don't want random untypeable unicode characters in my code when ones I can type will do.

Meh. The standard of "support" is pretty low. I spent a lot of time looking through the literature for empirical support for 1/ the Philips curve, and 2/ gravity models of trade. I looked for the first out of personal interest, and for the second because economists often claim that gravity models are well-supported.

Where empirical studies were actually available, they usually had large numbers of parameters, they did not test on diverse datasets (e.g. Philips curves across different economies), and they never considered an alternative hypothesis or simple baseline.

Peerpad looks awesome, and is exactly in the direction of stuff we're interested in. Ironically, a friend sent me its link literally 5 minutes before I saw your comment. Great minds think alike.

We've been playing a bit adding a p2p network in the background of static ipfs website (using webRTC). That way if a website has enough visitors, they could mimic to each other many functions that normally a server does. I did similar things in previous projects I was involved in. But there it was native softwares, where here there are extra challenges caused by the (relatively) limitations of web technology.
I'm not a hugely active GIMP user, but even from a distance I've noticed significantly more changes in the past 7 years than previously. If anything it's accelerating.
Earth's volume is 9.38e11 km^3. Or 9.38e23 liters (dm^3, cubic decimeters).

9.38 * 10^11 km^3 / (2^64) in m^3 = 50.8 m^3.

So you'd have one 64-bit address for every 50.8 cubic meters of earth.

Also, what's the volume of the solar system?
It’s considered among knowledgeable circles that the creation of the Russia we know of today was largely the work of the “Chicago Boys” type group of economists who were sent to liberalize the Russian economy through “shock therapy”.

There are lots of well researched stories that show they did stupid badly thought of things such as, famously, handing over stocks in major companies to its workers, instantly making them shareholders.

That sounds fine in theory. But with poverty at their throat workers simply sold their sto luck to the first person who asked. Often these were people with “connections” or some money stashed away or criminally-funded “entrepreneurs”, who with some barebones organisation and planning could quickly scoop up billions of dollars worth of stock and take a controlling position in major companies by buying them cents for a dollar.

Thus the oligarchs were born which quickly led to the kleptocratic Russia we know of today.

Liberal minded and educated Russians realised western economists were annihilating their country. One well known Russian independent magazine called the newly rebuilt Russia a “neoliberal dystopia”. Which more and more I think of as quite accurate.
Sometimes it's very much in the users' interest for websites not to "work perfectly", i.e. do what the designer intended.
Note that my main question is how can the authorities "fight back" in real time against people using sophisticated communication tools to organise violent actions (I could even use the term 'terrorism' for the more serious cases).

The role of the police is also to prevent violence against individuals and property, not just to arrest people after the fact.

I think this is a perfectly legitimate question.

First, an old Soviet joke:

-Isaac, we need to get outta here fast, they're beating up the Jews over here

-But in my passport, the nationality is listed as "Russian"!

-Isaac, you don't get it. They aren't gonna beat up your passport, they're gonna beat up your face!

--------------

The question of what it means to be Jewish is complex: it's a mixture of ethnicity (nationality in Soviet passports, which confused people for a long time), religion, and culture.

For the most part it's easy, though. I joked with a friend of mine: we don't need to remember being Jewish, others will remember it for us.

To that extent, I use the following reductio ad Hitlerum test of whether someone should be considered Jewish: Would the Nazis have rounded that person up for being a Jew?.

That makes a lot of these questions simple.

Follows Judaism? A Jew.

Jewish mother? Clearly.

Jewish father? Still a Jew.

Self-identifies as a Jew? Clearly a Jew.

Looks very Jewish? Better be safe than sorry, a Jew again.

So what these Israelis are doing is ridiculous. Someone would be accepted as a Jew in the eyes of anti-semites, but be denied being Jewish at home.

It is very sad that Israelis are using DNA testing to do this ridiculous gatekeeping -- and at that, against the part of the population that has done so much for that country (there would be no Israel without Jews from the Russian Empire and USSR to begin with, as simple as that).

They’re often small businesses run by a politically connected ex-officer, a few revolving door phds (to establish their R&D creds), a disabled (or minority) vet, and a mass of warm bodies to pump money into the local economy. (Ironically most of the money goes to Walmart and eventually goes overseas).

> If you were to try to write an allegory of a superpower in decline, you could hardly do better than tell the story of the F-35.

The Russian Su-57 is plagued with the same kind of issues, made much worse by the fact that Russia is no longer the superpower it was. The difference between the US and a superpower in actual decline is that the US can throw almost unlimited funds at the F-35 program and Russia can't. The real mark of a superpower isn't that it makes clever things but that it can afford making stupid things.
Can anyone explain how the differential serving works?

I get that they might have a User-Agent mapping to features. But how do they know which feature are needed by the loaded modules?
I don't get the hate for the save/export thing. Not everyone is comfortable with every single file format, ever, so being explicit about the different functionalities makes perfect sense to me.

Saving is by all intents and purposes understood as being able to resume work after loading the next time you use the software.

The formats available under export do not provide this guarantee, because they lose information one way or another.

Being separate features, I know this is the case without knowing what a .dds or a .tga file is, for example.

Hell, this way I can use GIMP without bothering with file endings altogether. I save the file if I want to continue work. It's automatically saved as .xcf. I export when I want to use the image. It's automatically saved as .png or whatever format I started with.
No manual entry required. No understanding of file formats required. It just works, period. And it doesn't take any control from the user.
