The nature of DNSSEC is such it's ok not everyone is aware it doesn't do anything for query privacy or whatever. PGP is the other way round - there's a small set of important facts and FAQs relevant and actionable to lots of people. Who not only don't know better but are also being actively misinformed.

The fact that you can't make old code use the new features in no way makes the new features "half-assed". It may make the old code that, but not the features.

Or did you want them to deprecate large swathes of the previous standard?

As for the rest of your rant... it's mostly just a rant, with very little substance.
Alternate model for how I would guess this works: Facebook CDN urls are unauthed (in the sense that the CDN probably doesn't know how to evaluate the entirety of Facebook's permissions model). Instead, the web/api server that enforces permissions checks will hand an authorized client a signed CDN url that expires in some bounded time. If that url leaks, anyone can view the underlying image, but only for a short window, after which a client would have to go back to the auth-aware web/api server to get a new signed CDN url.

You traded your time for experiences and afterwards decided you made a bad decision. That is your right - but I don't regret the entertainment that Eve or Wow have given me. You created a weird equivalence which I don't think holds.

First example: why would you want to handle null and a zero length string differently in that case? That seems a little contrived to me because in both instances the user has elected not to enter that information.

Re your timestamp example, just compare if created is the same as updated. That’s a really easy problem to solve. Though I have seen other scenarios when a timestamp needed to by nullable so I agree there will be edge cases.

I agree that null does have its uses (it’s basically essential for outer joins) but most of the time people think they need null they don’t actually need it. Plus it frequently it causes hidden faults, so it’s usually best to avoid allowing nullable fields unless you’re sure there isn’t any other easy way.
I think the most interesting attempt was the Shavian alphabet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavian_alphabet

They all have their shortcomings, of course. Possibly the most universal one is that none of the ones that I'm aware of seen do a good job of capturing the word stress system in English pronunciation. By contrast, for all its failings, the the current orthography does encode clues that a very experienced speaker of the language can use to infer word stress with a reasonable degree of accuracy.
I'm almost 50, and my family has a history of heart disease. So a few years ago, I got serious about getting into better shape. Since then, I've lost almost 55lbs.

I dropped the first 30 over the course of roughly a year and a half 30 by doing vigorous cardio exercise (running) and not modifying my diet much at all. My bloodwork looked far better in terms of cholesterol.

In the last 6 months I've dropped another 25 by switching the cardio from running to rowing, adding weight training, and cutting most carbs from my diet. I'm not a fanatic.. I still have a glass or two of red wine every day. I still eat vegetables and fruit. But I avoid empty carbs as much as possible (chips, rice, bread, etc).

My experience with this, and what I've heard from friends who have done similar things, makes me think that the abundance of carbs in the modern diet is a huge problem.

The difference is subtle. The difference is that you were called "smart" in the areas you showed interest in. That propelled you to improve further and always be ahead of your contemporaries. In her case (and many in China and India - where I come from) society has certain expectations from you. It doesn't matter if you are interested in something else entirely. Maybe you have a liking for arts. Or for music. These are considered "secondary". There are certain core subjects that you have to compulsorily master else you won't have any "value" in society. Now when you get labelled "smart" for something you have no interest in but you have to do because you have no choice that label doesn't really give you any satisfaction. It just so happens that you did it because the society wants you to. Not because you want to. And then you have to live up to the label now that everyone knows you are "smart". It is a vicious cycle that is hard to get out of.

That doesn't mean the society discourages you from learning arts, music or anything else. You have to make room for it in your spare time.

Also, examinations to get into prestigious universities are brutal compared to the West. Around a million students (10.43 lakhs in 2018) take up the IIT JEE exam and only around 10,000 qualify. You can take a look at how tough the exam is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h_x13xHjVs

To prepare for this, you would have to spend countless hours solving and sleepless nights studying. And even after all that, your chance at success is 1%. I am not even considering Medical (NEET), MBA (CAT) or Civil Services (UPSC) which is equally hard.

EDIT: Corrected 0.01% to 1%.

It isn't a "perfectly logical point" as I have explained. The study looks at technology, not war (as you are suggesting). It is probably the year in the whole of the century that, in hindsight, explains value returns best...is that coincidental choice? I am not sure what your point is about the Axis either...as with the US and the UK, most people had their savings inflated away.

To be totally clear, and this isn't 100% related with the topic: that period is a terrible example because it is reproducible. The assumption with all these studies of long-term returns is that past returns are reproducible. They are not. If you were a normal citizen around 1941, you were forced to invest in govt bonds (banks were forced to buy govt bonds, if you had a deposit you owned govt bonds).
They understand that their skill (usually selected by their parents for them) is irrelevant?
Surprised to see that you put Swift in the same bucket as Haskell, since Swift is to me the prime example of successfully balancing power with usability in language design.

This is where languages like Haskell, Rust and others fail: the programming language nerds take over and design a language for themselves, making it weirder and weirder as time passes and new arcane features are added.

This made me so confused as a kid growing up in a country where we can tell how a word is written based on its phonemes 99% of the time. So when I was watching dubbed cartoons from the US, they often had episodes revolving around spelling bees (e.g. I remember “Hey Arnold!” had such an episode), it made absolutely no sense when translated.

Amazon, to use that example, is involved in the production supply chain long before products gets to retail. In many verticals, vendors now use Amazon both as an upstream supplier for their production process and a retail channel for the finished product. If you buy a physical book from a major publisher, there is a significant probability that the book was manufactured by Amazon. They have built up all kinds of just-in-time manufacturing facilities and services that supply all kinds of businesses at very competitive rates. These companies are usually not called "Amazon" so you likely don't realize Amazon owns them. In sectors where this has been iterating the longest, it has slowly turned classic industries into IP holding companies that are barely involved in the physical execution of their business.

This is an invisible part of Amazon's business. They've built all manner of manufacturing and production facilities that are further and further up the supply chain. At no point is a business required to retail on Amazon but once you are in their workflow it sure makes things easy for the vendor, and over time Amazon replaces more and more of the supply chain you use.

I've watched this from the inside for the entire lifecycle of Amazon entering a couple different "boring" industries and the process has been as impressive as it has been unstoppable. Amazon is not the only company doing this by any means, they are just the most obvious and there are a few different versions of this strategy.
I see it another way: bring about a true socialist society where people do not need to work to survive, and in that world people can do as they please with no concern for income. Creativity has many benefits other than income and eliminating profit incentives would allow us to pursue those other benefits more freely.
People don’t like it too much if you go around being a spell-splainer, so I try to soften the corrections with a little humor.

True dat. I was at a seminar given by a local to remain unnamed law firm and I spotted a spelling error in their handout. I mentioned it to one of the speakers on the way out, more as an ice breaker to start a conversation but received an icy response.
This sounds like a great idea, can't believe I didn't see it earlier. Maybe I should adopt it for my personal projects (software, music, etc): pick a regular release schedule and stick to it, even if it means releasing less feature-rich stuff. Does anyone have experience with this approach?
Wow, I've always assumed that the difference between American and British spelling is because of a natural divergence as a result of being far away for such a long time.
Yes! I see a more complex socialism as being necessary versus UBI, but in either case eliminating the need for survival work would mean artists could create art and be copied without anyone losing their livelihood.
True, and if poor people could hire lobbyists and tax attorneys, they’d get more loopholes too.

Yeah those are hard to find.

One of my favorite games is “Nuclear Throne Together”, although it is quite hard, and more players make it much harder.

A current good and accessible one is “Vectronom”, a very stylized rhythm game where you play as cubes moving through levels morphing to electronic beats.

Mainstream games Rayman and Overcooked are also very good and fun and instantly accessible even to “non-gamers”.

Another one I discovered which is quite fun is “Hidden In Plain Sight”, where all players look like NPCs and most modes revolve around figuring out who is a player and who is CPU. It can be really intense because of the psychological terror.

“Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime” is fun but gets tedious because of the huge levels.

Most of those those don’t have mich of a story though, except maybe Rayman. But that doesn’t detract from the games being fun.

Your numbers suggest 1%, not 0.01%. 0.01% of a million examinees would be 100 passing scores.
The reasoning often goes the other way, academics find a "factor" that outperforms empirically and try to come up with a risk-based explanation backing theoretically what does happen :-)

An alternative explanation is that they are simply mispriced.
>Spelling contests have remained a feature in American life since the Puritans landed on Plymouth Rock — but is peaking at 12 years old all it’s cracked up to be?

Whether the settlers landed at Plymouth Rock itself is not known accurately. However, the Puritans didn’t land at whatever became the Plymouth colony. The ones who landed were Separatists (the ones who left the Anglican Church) who called themselves the Pilgrims. The Puritans (ones who stayed in the church to purify it) did arrive in America, but later.
Ah sorry I meant to say 1% (I was thinking 0.01 in my head). Edited it. Thanks!
In French most vowel and other letter combinations are pronounced in a consistent way, unlike English, so do you have examples?
What I find interesting is how open source hardware companies can coexist with their cheap clones. The Prusa i3 printer is a great example. An assembled Prusa costs $1000 while clones are $200, and yet the two options serve different markets. If you’re a broke hobbyist you get the clones, and they take a lot of work to keep running. If you’re operating a school, business, or makerspace you get the Prusa because it’s the first party brand that works every time.

So I see all the businessss that would die without IP protection as maybe only existing because of our historical legal structure. Perhaps without IP laws the boundaries of who does what work would change but we would still strive to create new things just as we always have. Does that make sense?
I still remember eighth grade and the teacher who used the 'smart' kids of the advanced math classes as an excuse to not actually bother teaching anything and make it all 'self study'. My math grade went from a solid A to a D in the course of one semester because I couldn't just figure it out myself from the book.

You ought to write a paper. Eugene Fama and Kenneth French have always been pretty upfront about not understanding why value outperforms.

Color is not uniquely American. It was used in England since before America’s discovery and is, in fact, more etymologically correct - it comes from the Latin word “color”. :)

The more French-influenced colour was more common in England, and obviously eventually did totally win out.

There are generally very similar stories for most “American” spellings.
I disagree entirely. I feel like your parent comment was simply offering the (hopefully) obvious advice to not bring that negativity with them. The parent comment was not preachy at all in my view, and the entire point of this thread is communicating the previous companies lack of existence. We're here to discuss communication. I don't think the parent comment was off this mark at all.
I kind of see it differently, that the 98 and 03 standards had a lot of mileage and as necessary as the more recent changes may have been, people felt the old standard pretty usable for a long time.

C++11 was a really big shakeup. In contrast, C11 isn't a major difference over C99. Sometimes I read about the rapidly evolving modern C++ and I wonder if they are moving too fast, as large chunks of the community have not even caught up with what is already there.
People were always this way. Saying social media caused this is about like saying that ubiquitous video cameras in phones led to a rise in police brutality.

But they don't and they are. Amazon is monitoring sales of all categories of articles, identifies items that sell well and are easy to knock off, then knocks them off. They held more than 70 private brands in April 2018.

This is sort of what scrum does isn't it? Release every cycle no matter what was completed. Whatever was not completed goes back into the backlog and potentially into the next cycle.
More like the new cigarette. 50 years ago you'd look around and see adults everywhere smoking to waste time or to because it was the thing to do or just out of habit/addiction.

IIRC Inform 7 .i7x is internally translated to Inform 6 .i6t source which is more low-level C-like language. Have a look at code pieces formatted as (- ... -) in installed Inform extensions. You can mix 6 and 7 together.

BTW I tried to feed some Inform 7 code to APE[1], which is a parser of an English subset written in Prolog, without much success as I recall.

As for existing IF tools the first come to mind are Twine and Ren'Py.

Python is likely the best example of this working, however even in Python the boundaries between high and low performance sections are very formal. It's a lot simpler to go in and optimize a piece of code the profiler has pointed out with C++.

I really don't understand the animosity non-C++ developers have towards the language. You can still use Python, Rust, etc if you want. Nobody wants to force you to use C++.
Same kind of thing here. I coasted almost all the way through high school, got given endless slack in my last year of high school because everyone knew I was 'smart', and instantly ran into major trouble in college.

If you are measuring value with price/book, you have no hope. The conceit of the "value factor" is wrong-headed: trying to measure value quantitatively is like trying to measure the aesthetic appeal of art quantitatively. It just makes no sense. Quant screens turn up the most uninvestable garbage. The only people who invest that way, haven't ever looked properly at the companies they are investing in (I use value quant screens for shorts now, the flow of money into quant means they are usually comically overpriced).

More to the point though: value is only determined in hindsight. A company trading on 30x earnings can be cheap. The only "value factor" that is closely correlated to returns is 5yr forward earnings. If you think a computer can predict earnings five years forward...great, but they can't.

Also, if you aren't managing $10bn+ you shouldn't be looking at Ford. Don't make it difficult.
It is extremely well founded scaremongering. Almost every creative work in a format only accessible via proprietary software becomes unreadable in fifty years or less, an eyeblink in human intellectual history. That risk has always been the same. The few exceptions are things built on proprietary software that was so popular that open-source clones exist — a relevant example in this case being the Z-machine.

Creative work built on proprietary software is like a sand castle below the high-tide line, except that the tide won't try to monetize your castle by bundling malware into it.
Considering that C++ has evolved a lot over the years (and grown quite large), what are good resources for a programmer to get started with the language in 2019?

I've heard Accelerated C++ is a good introduction, but it's quite old at this point. Would Accelerated C++ followed by Effective Modern C++ bring someone up to speed with modern C++? Is there a single book or online resource that would service this purpose better?
Agreed, though it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that, haha.

I don't think this works. New technology can only spread if it is worth it. Developing technology for the sake of having new technology is almost always worse than nothing; you would not expect it to proliferate into a new way to handle anything.
