I don’t have anything against GCP on a technical level - I don’t know enough to. But their enterprise support is abysmal and that whole “No one ever got fired for buying AWS/Azure”.
When a product is super complex, fixed pricing might not make sense. I wouldn't ask a general contractor "how much would it cost to remodel my kitchen?" before they have seen my home (especially because I don't because a kitchen!)
> I have found in my personal experience that countries that actually have lower minimum drinking ages seem to have better relationships with alcohol.

I believe that's a consequence of those countries having a better relationship with alcohol. That is to say, if a country's alcohol culture is healthier, it supports a lower drinking age. You can't synthesize a better alcohol culture by lowering the drinking age, however.

Lowering the drinking age has been tried in the US before. Michigan's drinking age after the repeal of the 18th Amendment was 21. The state lowered it's drinking age in 1972 from 21 to 18, and then raised it back to 19 in 1978 and then 3 weeks later took it back to 21. The reason for the change was sharp rise in drunk driving and traffic accidents involving teenagers.

It's kind of funny, but I wrote a paper on this in college years ago and I still remember some of the studies I used (I have a good memory). U of M did a study [1] in 1979 on the effects in Michigan, and there was another study in 1990 [2] that studied the effects across the country prior to the National Minimum Drinking Age Act. It's been a long time since I read that study, but I seem to recall that they showed that the people who began drinking at age 18 had a worse relationship with alcohol by age 25, and that that worse relationship continued throughout their entire lives. I fully admit I haven't re-read these studies, though, so what I'm saying here is my memory from about 13 years ago.

Bottom line: Other countries might have a culture that supports a drinking age of 18 or lower, but the United States does not appear to be one of them.

One factor on why Python only saves 20%.

Scala has a very rich standard library. Python doesn't. An example is: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/363944/python-idiom-to-r...

Ruby would have been a better example of how succinct a dynamic-typed language can be.

(I made a similar comment on the parent level.)
For example if you use

\usepackage[spanish]{babel}

to change the hyphenation tables, it also change a lot of things. For example it makes < and > active characters, so they can be used as a special kind of quotes. This breaks other packages like xypic that expect that < and > are normal characters to recognize the arrows.
I can't refute the statistical point, but even if it is a small minority, the ones that do have a negative effect can be catastrophic. A vanishingly small percentage of wild animal bites transmit rabies, but we still treat the bites seriously with a vaccine because the consequences of being wrong are much worse than the consequences of a false positive.
To be clear, I was only quoting RxJS as the most popular implementation in js for the Observable primitive. This has nothing to do with the Observable primitive. My complaint isn’t that this steals SEO, it’s that this becomes less searchable because any search for “Observable JavaScript” is going to turn up RxJS/MobX or one of the other libraries that implement Observable primitive types.

Edit: with regard to ReactiveX...well yeah. But it’s nice that it’s implemented in so many languages! (Not just RxJS) http://reactivex.io/languages.html
You just argued below that if I had bad economic impact based on the FACT that you called me a racist that I should be able to sue you over this very honest debate and win. You've taken a very extreme position here. At least one person, you, are arguing this. So don't say "nobody."
I dunno about now, but back when I browsed on 8chan for a bit the people on there genuinely worried me. There was a board dedicated specifically to doxing and messing with people's lives, there were multiple successful raids on social media websites carried out and the slower pace of the boards meant there was more time for genuine collaboration on things. 4chan people always seemed like they were playing, 8chan people got shit done and many of the things i seen on 8chan actually tended to be more genuine than 4chan.

They really took pride in the hatechan nickname. The place left me with a really bad taste. There was some genuinely nasty people there. Not to mention the fucking pedophiles. So many fucking pedophiles. That place really made me believe there's no hope for people like that.
Summary: People bring bodies to a scammer's funeral home, and are offered free cremation (a $1000 value!) by donating some organs to a good cause. The family receives burnt-garbage ash, while the scammer secretly sells the entire body to the highest bidder.

And she would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling FBI agents.
I think the idea is that the accusation of racism isn't really a concrete, well-defined concept that can be falsified: in terms of specificity, its closer to calling someone a dumbass or a butthead than it is to calling them eg a shoplifter; the former isn't legally actionable (right? Perhaps I'm wrong here), but the latter is concrete enough to be.

I'm not sure if I agree with the gp commenter, but it doesn't seem to be a particularly unreasonable opinion to hold.
Walter Bright is (along with Andrei Alexandrescu - which should be a good enough reason if you like c++) the BDFL of D.

D won't get you hired (probably), but D is designed with hindsight from a C++ compiler writer and a C++ template wizard: It shows, D is objectively better than C++ is many ways. It's worth checking out, at the very least (It's also not hard to learn, so I say go for it)

An example of the power of D: The Pegged library for D can generate a parser, D code which gets compiled, directly from a grammar specification in a text file [inside a D program, e.g. mixin(Grammar("Your Grammar Here"))]

Cool! But how do you make money off of it? I understand MathPix is a company.
No I don't know how fast her compiler was. This also isn't a good setup for comparing language performance, since all the test programs were small and there was no incentive to make your compiler fast. Many groups probably used O(n^2) algorithms in their compiler and differences in algorithm choice would probably add too much noise to get a good performance signal.

That aside, speaking off the cuff totally separately from my post, I'm extremely dissatisfied with the performance of current compilers. The fastest compilers written by performance-oriented programmers can be way faster than ones you generally encounter. See luajit and Jonathan Blow's 50k+ loc/second compilers and the kind of things they do for performance. One example of a compiler task it's really difficult to do quickly in a language like Python/Ruby is non-regex parsing, I've written recursive descent parsers in Ruby and compiled languages and the Ruby ones were 1-2 orders of magnitude slower, non-JIT dynamic languages are really bad at tight loops like that.

My old apartment's intercom system had a bit of advertising material saying it was "computerized, not internet-connected" (or something like that) - it was an electronic system, but all it had was a connection up to the front door entry system, a terminal for the doorman, and the ability to call 911 if you pressed the panic button. No fancy cloud apps to drain your battery and then get hacked.

If an apartment intercom can realize this is important, why can't an oil refinery?
Has a healthy adult ever been harmed by ingesting botulism spores? You're not supposed to feed honey to babies less than 12 months old because it can contain botulism spores, but for people older than that honey is considered safe. See http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/aa142
During my recent visit to Saint Petersburg, I visited the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games, and I would highly recommend all the games to everybody who is interested in the games! In case you are in the city, it's one of my top 5 places to visit, at least if you are interested in games. I went there alone, but I would highly recommend bringing a friend, as some of the games are designed for two players, and it's far more fun to play with a friend than a random stranger.

My favorite games were Sniper and Sniper 2, but I would recommend trying everything.
I think it is partially that (but minor). Partially embarrassment (frequently code is rushed). Partially people view code/data as a trade secret. The latter I find anti-scientific, especially since a lot of funding comes from public money. I'm okay with holding on to it for a small period of time (because we live in an unfortunate world where sharing knowledge can't come first and people need to secure funding), but I don't think this should be a default mode that people do. Luckily it does seem that many are turning to GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab to make their code available.

And everyone that's in a PhD or has one knows that the majority of work you do is failing (but you learn from that failure).

Side note: I wonder if imposter syndrome would decrease if we were aware about one anothers' failures and didn't only see the accomplishments.

I've found PEGs (Parsing Expression Grammars) to make things extremely easy and terse. E.g. OMeta, Parsley, etc.

My experience with using both PEGs and parser combinators is that there isn't a huge difference in the total number of lines of code. On the other hand though, the syntax of PEGs would be easier to understand for someone who is familiar with BNF style notation.
On the internet forums for enthusiasts, I bet. In real life, I agree, I haven’t noticed even a single blip of a trend for that phenomenon.
The takeaway for me was: "The next comparison was my friend who did a compiler on her own in Python and used less than half the code we did because of the power of metaprogramming and dynamic types."

So it's the output of ONE Python programmer vs teams of other languages programmers?
Ah, got it. I think we're actually on the same page then!
Just out of curiousity, would xerox essentially be spelled zeroks in your native language, or something else?

Where Can I Find a History of GUIs from a Programmer's Perspective
I have long been fascinated by the history of GUIs such as Xerox's early work (Smalltalk, Star), the Apple Lisa, the Apple Macintosh, Windows, the X Window System, NEXTSTEP, Sun NeWS, BeOS, KDE, GNOME, and others. However, I haven't found much about the history of GUIs from a programmer's perspective. I am interested in learning about how GUI frameworks have evolved over time. I am wondering if there are any good resources I can read to learn about this.

> My right to privacy is about all the info they secretly collect,

I'm not sure where you get this from, because I've never heard any legal doctrine to cover it.

> My right to privacy implies that they do not keep a shadow profile on me

Every user has a data model, which you can call whatever you like. This is not unique to FB.

> My right to privacy implies that they dont read through me phone messages at will

I'm not sure how you imagine spam scanners don't read your email. Perhaps you need to rethink your concept of "your right to privacy" or whatever.

Dumping some weird political spin where you don't want to hear things you don't like, is unsurprising. This is not a Right in the US. Some other places in the world (Canada, Germany, etc), are trending this way. It's an interesting development that "words can cause harm" is a central tenet of some political movements.
If these options do not exist - which is not true - it is because there is not enough consumer demand.

Yes from the outset. But this study was about writing a parser and it seems Haskell didn't do much better than the others.

Building Chromium atm, and to be honest I'd be happy if it were written in a trillion lines of BASIC if that would somehow achieve even a 10x build time speedup.

This makes me glad I stayed away from the house game circuit when I played professionally (never mind the collecting lent money aspect). Usually the idea with house games is they are a little more loose with money, rules, drinking, weed etc, so you wouldn't be calling people out for having devices on the table.

He shoulda got KEM cards or other real plastic cards though if he was serious about ripping off a game!

People providing services that are restricted for children generally do have a duty to make at least a nominal effort to ensure that children aren't using the service. You check ID when selling someone alcohol. You have people indicate that they're 13 or 18 when using your website. If you don't do these simple things, you can be on the hook.

The Alexa version of this is that Amazon says they won't record children without consent. The lawsuit is about whether they're doing this.
Good shortsighted intentions? I've heard something like this before:

Person A: "but how will we know if one of our closed networks gets compromised?"

Person B: "I know, let's add remote monitoring capability!"
This is of course especially designed for this multi track set, but it is a pretty good way to navigate multiple audio sources.
Oh, well, as a "mainlander", I tell you: Hong Kong citizens WILL lose all their rights, and it will come sooner than you think.

If you watched this protest and all their other protests, it is very easy to see one thing: Their action is isolated， they don't have the power to unite people other than themselves. Nobody besides themselves will stand for them. Nobody in mainland support them, nobody in mainland understand them. Many mainlanders even developed Schadenfreude when looking at those protests.

(OK, "Nobody" is a bit of over exaggeration, but fairly right if you want to feel the situation)

Why? Because they are protest only for their own rights, on their own little land that nobody cares anymore. It's not about greater good, not "making the entire China democratic". Just "We're Hongkongers, we are special, so we must have those rights", while don't give a damn when the rest of China is been stripped clean.

How many HongKonger protested when Xi changed the Constitution? Not this much.

Nobody cares about your right if you don't defend the right of the others. 50 years, if they don't change China for the better, China will change them, as simple as that.

Making an argument doesn't change the fact that I am informed, made a decision, stopped using it and have suffered NO HARM. I made a tradeoff that I thought was valuable.

For anyone interested in this sort of thing, there's also Unified Code Count (UCC) [1]. It has a lot of interesting design goals like being open and explicit about the counting rules, which is really useful if you want to predict things like cost and reliability.

OK I admit that I didn't read the whole thing. So I go back and read every single line of that link.

OK, the Provisional Legislative Council was questionable in your view, I understand. But how exactly does this proves that the Chinese government blocked the democracy for 60 years? How about the existence of LegCo? Also I still don't think we agree on what the word "return" means.

Yes there are thousands of links that talk about the opium wars, and you have learned about it in school, but that doesn't help because the news don't talk about it. If you decide to include every wrong doings of the CCP when you talk about HK, it is dishonest to exclude the UK's dirty history.

I would also ask you to challenge your beliefs about why some parts of the world is unstable. I do not have proofs about whether there is someone behind this event in HK, but the protesters also have no proof that this bill is going to make HK a 1984-like society. China is a country surrounded by enemies, it isn't a bad thing to be paranoid, especially when people are clearly overreacting.

It's really important for many companies to know what sales they want to leave on the table. You can't be all things to all people, and if you don't know who you want as a customer, it's frequently a bad experience that sucks time, energy, and attention from building the core business.

I totally understand why people don't want to build a relationship with a sales person. However, I don't want transactional customers, which is how I perceive them.

Again, reasonable from both sides. You shouldn't try to sell to everyone.

Given the vast amount of latent energy in such things, it's probably worthwhile looking at how we can effectively streamline and enable safety, fully accepting the fact may be 'it's impossible'.
The problem with Markdown is its embarrassingly poor support for highly structured documents. Something as simple as writing a multi-level list interspersed with complete paragraphs is a nightmare to do in Markdown. Tables and images aren't a big improvement over LaTeX and require special syntax to scale and position.

I'd rather use Word for simple documents so I can enjoy drag and drop and graphical image positioning and scaling and easy tables and leave LaTeX for complex documents. Markdown is the worst of both worlds.

However, I could see myself using the much superior Asciidoc (vs Markdown) instead of LaTeX, but unfortunately, the worse-is-better philosophy is still alive and has made Markdown the defacto simple markup language, and tool support for Asciidoc is as poor as LaTeX, so I just go directly to LaTeX instead.
I am in 100% agreement with you.
FWIW I believe that web worker adoption is more limited by tooling/knowledge than APIs. Web developers haven't thought about thread safety for decades (at least for those who have been around for that long) so it's more of a mental leap for web developers to think in terms of multiple threads.

I had some promising (at the very least interesting) results with react-native-dom which runs all of React's reconciliation & your own business logic in a web worker: https://rndom-movie-demo.now.sh. I'll fully admit there's a lot more exploration/experimentation left to be done in this space though.
Ternary operators can be fine. Nested ternary operators are hardly ever a good idea.

One thing that people writing this sort of code seem to miss is that it's not just about expressing the code as concisely as possible - other people including oneself in future need to be able to read it easily.

What I would recommend in a code review for anyone using nested ternary operators is just to break them up using meaningful variable names so that you have one ternary operator per statement. It'll be easier to read and the names will help understand what's going on more easily.
