Actually, the historical Millet system under the Ottoman empire went quite a bit further towards 'multiculturalism' under some dimensions, with different communities literally getting their own systems of laws.

But this strongly conflicted with the nascent notion of the unitary nation-state, much to the Ottoman (and Austrian) Empires' later detriment.

To be clear, I'm not claiming that there aren't multiple cultures in the West - just look at Amish or Hasidic communities as examples - just that they are still forced to abide by majority rules, which necessarily means that their cultures are somewhat abridged and shorn of their full representation. And note how small these communities are compared to the majority.

It's a rather different story in countries with multiple cultural groups with comparable demographic power, such as the former Yugoslavia, which was torn apart by these divisions.

Put under a different perspective, you can make a rather strong case that cities and rural areas are now different cultural zones in the US, and the intractable political conflicts over abortion, marriage, and even tax policy are byproducts.
It's not the thing that's addictive, it's the mind that gets addicted. And the mind has to like something about it first, once it does, it goes to immense extremes to get as much of it as humanly possible.

Before looking to research, maybe ask a few addicts what it's like to be them first?

For my father it's about finding healthy outlets for his addictive tendencies. He likes no-carb because it allows him to not have to exercise willpower to stop eating, he can just eat as much as his stomach will allow, and not trigger an insulin response. He knows it's not going to cause him to lose a ton of weight because he's still eating a ton of calories, but the little wins are important to him.

Slowly he acquires more willpower in a context of a lifestyle where he doesn't have to be making those decisions all the time.
My personal experience contradicts this. I fasted a few days sometime ago. The first day was OK, the second was miserable and terrible, but then I got "used" to it and stopped feeling hungry (or, alternatively, my brain got used to the stimulus of "hunger" and, even though I could still feel it, it wasn't salient any longer... à la neural adaptation [0]).

Not every developer feels like they have to support every computer in existence.

Many game studios are quite happy being Apple experts, just like many other game studios release exclusives or sell themselves as experts on a given platform, including selling consulting services.

For those, vendor tooling is very much appreciated.

The ones that care for portable code, they also care about having the easiest way to start coding on each platform.

If Khronos cares about adoption, they should improve LunarG SDK to be more than just a set of bare bones libraries.

> But don't mischaracterise python's standard library.

My main point is Ruby's stdlib is richer than Python's.

(And that's not either better or worse. Some people prefer lighter stdlib, and that's fine.)

> If you don't want to write 19 characters to find the first item in a list, pick another language.

Yes, if Python supported `.first`, I wouldn't want to write the longer version of it.

Since the article focuses on brevity, I did propose another language here, which was Ruby. It would serve better at how succinct a dynamic-typed language can be because of its richer stdlib, especially when we compare a dynamic-typed lang with Scala, which has an extremely rich stdlib. Using Ruby would be a fairer comparison.

I gave one small example (`.first` vs `a[0] if a else None`) to illustrate my claim. Two more examples (from https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.4.1/Array.html) are `.rotate` and `.transpose`. I'm sure there are more examples around Hash and other data structures.

Python don't have these methods, and we have to make them ourselves. To make code even longer, we need to maintain and write unit tests on them.

I think you're on to something. I think the large portion of people have an addiction to certain foods.

My first inkling was when my friend, Dr. Ross, said to me, "None of my type II diabetic patients are able to control it with diet. They all need medication." (His patients are all upper-middle class, well-adjusted for the most part).

I've seen it with my dad (type II), an ex-marine (type II), a marketing executive (type II). In all cases they were eating french toast with maple syrup (the crack cocaine of type II diabetics). It was something they knew they should not be eating, and yet they were.

These are people with discipline and strength, and yet they are unable to stick to a diet. What gives? Rather than blaming them, we should ask, "Why is this so hard for them? Why can these people who can do so many things, not eat properly?"

Correlation does not imply causation and there still isn't enough evidence to support the claim that cat scratches are linked to depression.

From the abstract:

"Authors suggested that infection with cat parasite Toxoplasma could be the reason for this association."

From the conclusion:

"Absence of association between toxoplasmosis and depression and five times stronger association of depression with cat scratching than with cat biting suggests that the pathogen responsible for mood disorders in animals-injured subjects is probably not the protozoon Toxoplasma gondii but another organism; possibly the agent of cat-scratched disease – the bacteria Bartonella henselae."

Not exactly a smoking gun.
I would agree that the sample size was small so programmer competency may be a big factor.

The interesting takeaway from this study I think is that it does not show that statically typed (even "pure") functional languages are not obviously better than plain old Python.

The interesting thing is not what this study proves, but what it does not prove.
What do you consider proper OOA&D in this case?

If you mean: never declare a function as taking a particular class instance ("is"), only interfaces/traits/mixins/whatever ("has" / "can do").

Then yes, we agree.

As soon as you declare a function as taking a class instance, you're limiting to what something "is". I don't think ontologies are particularly useful as a means of abstraction.

Yes, you can do better with careful architecture, but the footgun is still there and I'm just saying we should probably get rid of it instead of working around it.

Different tools for different use cases.

Your use cases seem to prioritize language support, update frequency, and speed (what do you mean by the accuracy part?). For this, Scc and Tokei would of course be better than UCC.

The (admittedly niche) use cases I described require understanding the counting rules very well, and keeping those rules stable. For this, scc and Tokei are as useless as anything else, while UCC does exactly what's needed.
Another advantage they have is that they can focus the spent optimization cycles on hot code.

AOT compilers can't afford running optimization passes in a loop (inline, optimize, inline, optimize, ...) until they reach a fixed point because that would blow up compile times if that were applied to the whole program.
Notes from the Lead Developer 2019
Not buying it, sorry. Maybe some jobs, but all this nonsense about automation taking over everything is purely to sow FUD and for no other reason.

Oh, automatic trucks, yeah, probably not. That's going to be really hard to pull off because the first time one of those trucks crushes and kills a toddler, the liability is going to rise tremendously. Same with drones--the first one that crashes into a house and causes a fire that kills a whole family is going to force them to reconsider their idiotic plans. It doesn't matter how you design the things because the tech isn't what is important.

As far as replacing the software engineering work I do with "freelancers" is a sure way to put my whole company out of business. If there were any freelancers out there who could assist us we would have already hired them. We don't want "freelancers" we want people who will be around to build up institutional knowledge and perform because they know our company and our data. As it is, our office in India is about 30% as efficient as the one on the US, and that whole experiment has already been running for almost two decades. It's not just the timezones, it's just the whole nature of the job. We have people with 15-20 years of experience working with us. It's just too naive a picture to say "globotics" which is just a made up word--even says so in the article. If you want good outcomes in a corporation, it would be wise to hire good people and not just stock up on human cattle.
"All models are wrong" is the same as saying "All knowledge is wrong." That's technically incorrect and philosophically disastrous. Ideas like this have a huge impact on people in myriad ways.

> The "all models are wrong" saying has an implicit "at representing the observable reality in full fidelity".

No, it doesn't. This is exactly like saying "All knowledge is wrong" has an implicit "as knowing everything in full fidelity, i.e., being omniscient." You are holding models (or knowledge) to a completely ridiculous standard. They are not supposed to work the way you are implicitly asking them to work.

NTPsec aspires to be "Internet Load Bearing Software".
You're talking about one specific aspect though. Yes, the concept of an email is pretty familiar to anyone with experience with telegraphs.

I'd argue the availability of information, and certainly information that isn't curated by a single source, is a pretty fundamental discontinuity.
GPSD was historically an important project, but I wouldn't call it "load bearing" in the same sense as core networking or service contributions.

It's also increasingly less important as the changes dropped in 4.19 are picked up by downstream software authors. Most software installations that care about gps are deployed in SBC configurations. A lot of other folks (e.g., hobbyists with external microcontrollers or arm SBCs) are parsing directly.

Folks most interested in linux attached hardware are either older school hardware hackers (who rely on this project) or folks using new LoRa radios (in which case that stuff is in the card and annoyingly locked down because it's part of some LoRa monetization schemes).

Sooooo yes. Not a bullshit project. But no, not a ILBS project.
Hm. I hear you. You've certainly given me something to chew on. I'll need to figure out how I can balance my strong opposition to dehumanizing systems against the tendency for all humans to dehumanize each other, regardless of the belief system.

Thanks for digging down into the weeds with me. It's always good to bounce ideas off people, especially those more organized of thought than me.

Wow, his comment struck a nerve so hard that you perceived it as a personal attack against your girlfriend. Sorry, but the “journalism” conducted by any mainstream news outlet in Germany is guaranteed to be garbage. Her job is a joke, and so are you for defending it. What an absurd claim that you’d invite a total stranger online to go into her workplace with you to lurk and watch what’s happening. You definitely wouldn’t do that, which means you just said that as a rhetorical tool to further fuel your own passive aggressive response as you try to get that dopamine rush from defending your girlfriend from the males of the invading tribe or whatever ancient instinct has possessed you to respond in the manner you did.

History IIRC -- Mandrake was RH Linux with KDE; Mandriva was a continuation of that which split; OpenMandriva were devs from that split that took ROSA Linux (still doing KDE4 I think) and then continued their project from that base.

I dislike using the laptop screen because it causes you to have poor posture. Even if my laptop screen was a retina display that was better than a normal monitor I would still use a monitor for my back's sake.

As for multiple monitors, I have tried it for a while but much prefer a single 24" screen. When I've had multiple monitors I ended up hardly ever using the second one.

Yes, but not from programming, but from general life experience. Everyone knows what an actual dictionary is, and even non-programmers can easily grasp how a one-way 'map' works.

Mutation is also how the real world works. If you want to record something, you write it down—you've just mutated the world, not encapsulated your operation in the WorldState monad.

This isn’t true. Not all calories are the same. Some spike insulin, the hormone that is responsible for storing fat, much more than others. Also if I eat 1800 carb heavy calories every day, I’m extremely hungry all the time. If I eat 1800 fat heavy calories every day, I feel satiated. It’s thanks to ketosis and being fat adapted.

Side note, I lost 80 pounds on a low fat diet, gained it back, then lost 80 pounds on a low carb diet so I know from personal experience.

Python has Lists (arrays), Dict, and Sets. That's pretty much it.

There's no linked lists. There's no sorted maps, no sorted sets, no maps that preserve insertion order, no queues, no priority queues, no bitsets. And there's no immutable collection in Python besides strings.

Meanwhile, Scala has all of that and more: https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/collections/overview.h...

Moreover, scala has synchronized collections that can work over multiple threads. I guess all collections work that way in Python, but that's because Python doesn't even support true thread parallelism in the first place!

Also, if we're talking about the number of methods on the collections, Scala has way way more. map/foreach/filter/foldl/foldr/option/drop/take/first/last etc etc.

Odd. Most westerners wouldn't have that word to hand. I myself was trying and failing to remember it.

You asked for evidence. It's evidence, not proof because pix can be faked, I agree. But anything I put in front of you you can dismiss as fake so what can I do - specifically, what do you want?

Seems you do, and put them in giant camps. And you explained why with all the links you post.

> it's not just 31 people btw

Re this link, of course it's more than 6, but the link you gave was to that specific attack in which 6 people were killed. Which I acknowledged. Don't fudge things.

And you have not denied that the crackdown on Uighurs occurred, and you yourself gave the reason why - so you don't deny any of this.

I don't think you are thinking for yourself, as you suggest me of not doing, and you have not said who you work for. Which is interesting.

It's interesting to hear the reactions most people have to this type of meal plan. Humans are pretty much animals that evolved to survive not having a secure source of food. Yeah we need to eat but spacing your meals this far apart isn't going to hurt you. I've seen people freak out over this idea but also jump on gimmick diets and workouts that promise huge weight loss for zero effort.

I know Penns plan is different but I've done intermittent fasting and found it super useful in certain situations to regulate calories.
I bet the list also lines up with socialised medicine.
