I genuinely haven't heard of 13 of those and I'd say I'm quite interested in learning about languages. The few that I know, were just briefly mentioned by a professor, so I don't know anything apart from the name.

What qualifies as prominent to you? How old are you? On Tiobe Index only Pascal and Go are in the first 50, while half of them aren't even listed in the first 100. Sure they're important and had an impact on new languages, but most of them were made ~50 years ago.

So many new languages were developed since then, which are far more useful and prominent than these legacy ones. If almost none of the modern ones have implemented it so far, is it really that useful/needed?
Not surprised that certain people are outraged about this, more that there's a significant part of those people in the "free software" community. I thought that ESR is pretty much the end of the spectrum there and that the younger AnCaps don't care that much about GNU.
Does anyone know if someone tried to order a ridiculous amount of the 13k Sony zoom lens? If I would have noticed this pricing error still in time to place an order I wouldn't have wasted a minute to think what I want, I would have ordered 100-1000 lenses worth 13000 for 95 each and later sold them on eBay for 10k each and bought myself a Tesla or something...

Why don't I read an actually interesting story about this pricing error, who cares that some people got a single item discounted... That's as interesting as someone winning $300 in the lottery. Happens all the time, not worth a story otherwise...
The whole green card thing is just a legal niceity. Nowadays a Chinese can you just show up at the US southern border saying they're a refugee of the Syrian civil war and bada-bing bada-boom they're now on easy street.

There is a way around it. Big pharma is still just a bunch of companies.

We could make 4000% price hikes on things like insulin illegal. We could set legal price limits on medicine. We could reform medicine patents. We could open research. We could even nationalise medicine production. And so on. I’m not suggesting that’s what we do by the way, that’s why I suggested EU regulations. The EU bureaucracy is much, much more apt at finding the right solutions than I am.

> If you accidentally purchased a bag of M&Ms from Amazon for 500 dollars instead of 5, they will let you undo it. On the other hand, if the matter is reversed, Amazon is expected to be a good sport and take the loss

Your "reverse" is not the inverse situation, which is what you should be really comparing against.

The real question you need to ask is what people would do in Amazon's shoes. The answer to that is far less clear to me.
I know plenty of people who critized the government for decisions around and after 2015, publicly even, and none of them were raided, sued, fined or jailed for it.

Maybe these people are actually in the groups and just employ the standard tactic of claiming to be a lone wolf when asked.
I don't know. It reads to me like they are rediscovering what e.g. Visual Basic and Delphi did in the nineties: UI component libraries. Particularly VB used to have a pretty lively component ecosystem. Also, the web is littered with attempts to have reusable javascript components for things like menus, combo boxes, and other cruft people end up wanting in their web sites.

This article reads a bit like a blast from the past in that sense. I think if I dig a little I might be able to dig out some papers from the sixties and seventies advertising the virtues of functions, modules, and even components with very similar language as in this article.

There is some progress here of course. Internalizing CSS is a good thing. Having that as a separate thing to manage and align is just too painful to keep in a maintainable state. I think some people are still disagreeing with this but I've seen some examples of css increasingly being driven from javascript instead of shipping as a separately loaded and created artifact. Web components sort of formalize this in html/javascript and allow you to isolate components from each other, which is another good thing. Separation of concerns and isolation are good things.

Also good is the shift to typescript, a language with a bit stricter semantics than javascript and of course better typing. The article does not mention this but given the speed and confidence with which they did this, I suspect they'd be pretty happy Typescript users.

Other than that, I think React is mostly a variation of the same kinds of design patterns that have dominated UI development for the past decades. I did some Swing development in the nineties and I still think that was a pretty nice framework to deal with relative to the current madness that is modern web development. The web can still learn a few new tricks. I have good hopes for WASM bringing some more choice and options to the scene.

A Guide to Quality Aging Skincare Products For Men Over 55

A new anti aging anti wrinkle cream recently released onto the market that comes from New Zealand, can help increase your levels of collagen and elastin with a natural ingredient called Cynergy TK. This substance contains functional keratinTM that can stimulate and boost the regrowth of collagen and elastin levels and create new skin cells.

The second main issue causing premature skin aging, can be attributed to free radical damage caused by UV-A ray exposure. An important ingredient contained in a quality anti aging skincare cream should be Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 a special nano-emulsion form of CoQ10. It increases collagen and elastin production, protects skin from aging, and nourishes the skin with antioxidants.

A Quality men's anti aging skincare product should also contain natural essential oils and powerful anti-oxidants and emollients that protect and moisturize your skin. Especially where older age skin has thinned, become more sensitive and is easily damaged.

So, if you want you're aging skin to stay youthful and healthy looking. Consider using a natural men's anti wrinkle anti aging skincare cream containing the above two important ingredients for increasing your collagen and elastin levels and reducing free radical damage to your skin.

Finally, you can now appreciate what ingredients men should look for in a quality skin care product. If your interested to find out more about the skin cream I'm getting good results with, visit my website below.https://spontaneousreview.com/naturely-skincare-rise-review/
An algorithm on their end could have modified the price without you manually approving it.
Had similar experience with Adobe. I got discounted monthly price on their photography plan for a year. However, they didn't send me the new price before end of the period. So, it went on for few more months, when I realized this. Contacted them, and after few chats, managed to get refunded the whole amount for the months renewed in full as their terms say they must send a renewal email/notice and they failed. I pushed that point heavy and managed to get full refund.
I was interested to learn more about this too and found this article:

Phenomenal compendium, I love it. There always have been a lot of visual approaches to programming, but only a few had a relative success, and always restricted to a very limited domain.

I was setting up some software on my pi4, just installing some packages with apt. Most of the time it was idling because I was away and not paying attention... and it indeed got very hot. Not uncomfortable to touch just yet, but this was really minimal load... Sounds like I'm getting a fan.
> F strings are %-based interpolation done right, and the sooner the latter are relegated to "backward compatibility only" status the better. They are also more visually consistent with format strings.

No, f-strings handle a subset of %-based interpolation. They're nice and convenient but e.g. completely unusable for translatable resources (so is str.format incidentally).
>I genuinely haven't heard of at least a third of them and I'd say I'm quite interested in trying new (and possibly unusual) languages.

But perhaps not as interested in trying old and significant languages?

>What qualifies as prominent to you? On Tiobe Index only Pascal and Go are in the first 50, while half of them aren't even listed in the first 100. Sure they're important and had an impact on new languages, but most of them were made ~50 years ago.

Well, Lisp was made 60+ years ago, and C 50 years ago, so?

Besides Go, Smalltalk, Ada, and Pascal would be significant languages in any book, and I'd add Simula, Oberon, Eiffel, and Dylan to the list.

Seriously, if one haven't at least heard of Simula (the father language of OO) I'm not sure how qualified they are to pass PL judgement.

> Based on household surveys, the poverty rate in China in 1981 was 63% of the population. This rate declined to 10% in 2004, indicating that about 500 million people have climbed out of poverty during this period. [1]

> As of June 2016, the IMF warned the United States that its high poverty rate needs to be tackled urgently by raising the minimum wage and offering paid maternity leave to women to encourage them to enter the labor force.[21] In December 2017, the United Nations special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Philip Alston, undertook a two-week investigation on the effects of systemic poverty in the United States, and sharply condemned "private wealth and public squalor", declaring the state of Alabama to have the "worst poverty in the developed world".[22] Alston's report was issued in May 2018 and highlights that 40 million people live in poverty and over five million live "in ‘Third World’ conditions."[23]

"semi-consciousness" yeah I must be in some soft of fucking up metal state because I happen to have different options then you. What a good argument - NOT.

But you are right there is disgusting behavior on both sides, and it should be public ally viewable and arguable by everyone. But once side has their censorship and platforming machine and the other is helpless because tech is 99% left! If a extremely unfair fight.

After my entire life listing to leftists I became older and wiser and started listening to more right wing perspectives and I am very familiar with both sides of the arguments. I refuse to put a label on myself now because I guess I am of mixed opinions and might have to switch my label tomorrow.

What if boils down to me as the absolute most important issue no matter what "side" you are on is free speech. And its a absolute pathetic display that this is a right wing issue nowadays. They where the conservatives who are afraid of sex on TV and wanted to censor everything back in the day. The left rightfully so was progressive and of course for free speech. Its such a disgrace that so few people get it on the left. Jimmy Dore is one of those who actually gets it.

So will always be for free speech and if that makes me a Nazi nowadays then I guess I am one. One of my favorite quotes is: "I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It"

They are free to join Gap and argue that Milkshaking people who they disagree with is cool, they can argue that violence against Nazis is cool there, they can post pictures of their transgender kinds there. Nobody is trying to censor them and I for sure know that these radical lefties are doing is highly offensive to me and other "Nazis".

And if you are cool with censoring people you are part if the RADICAL destructive and evil left, simple as that. You may disagree with other radical stuff they do but if you do not get free speech that you are lost and you make society worse. People always says Trump divides with things he twitters (not a fan at all, really) but what the left is doing with their censorship machine is in fact what decides. The right will for sure get more radicalized with this as well if they are pushed into some obscure corners of the internet and then you can not even access it from a "free software" appstore, what a pathetic display but they do not even see what they are doing. They are worse then any Trump like twitter account ever can be. And we all know if Trump would not be the president he would have been banned there years ago, probably right after the election if Hillary would have won.

Yes, and that difference is the whole point of art vs entertainment. After consuming entertainment, you want more entertainment. But after consuming art - after reading The Great Gatsby - your eyes get yanked back to your own life. You start thinking "what doomed dreams do I have?", not "when will they release Great Gatsby 2?"

Can someone more familiar on the subject explain what the main accomplishment here is compared to previous two qubit gates?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usucapio

It's a bit of an extreme case, but basically if you'd own land and someone else took it over (not by force) and took care of it for a longer period (several years), that someone else could claim ownership and be granted the land.

So if you'd "abandon" your property, someone else could take it over, provided he would take care of it.

The modern equivalent would be, in my opinion, buying houses or apartments and leaving them unoccupied. Outright usucapio would be a bit strong, but I definitely think exponentially higher rates of taxation would make sense.
Same for LogMeIn. And Washington Post. And so many others. It makes me sad that what should be legitimate businesses now seem to feel it’s acceptable to trick people into giving them money.
If someone is not, not a user, but familiar with ALGOL, Simula, Pascal, Modula, Ada, PL/M, Smalltalk, Eiffel, and Oberon, they should not really promote their programming language ideas as relevant...

The fact that they use some "new languages" (e.g. whatever derivative stuff happens to be in fashion atm) and are not even aware of the debt of those languages to the list above, doesn't qualify them...
> I also cannot honestly think of a case where I want that behaviour.

There's plenty of situations where a named argument does not help, and encoding it can only hurt. It makes little to no sense to name the first argument to `dict.update` for instance. Or the argument to `ord`.

That, incidentally, is why Swift added support for positional-only parameters (though it has no concept of keyword-or-positional).

Actually the contract is in place when the order is confirmed. At least from EU webshops it's common to receive two mails, one for order received, another for order confirmed (potentially hours or even days later).

This actually hit the spotlight recently in Spain as Dell advertised 1000-1800€ laptops for 29-35€ on their site[0]. Many people bought, received the first AND the second email around 5h later.

If it wasn't for that second email, they could cancel the order no questions asked, but actually someone on their side said "yep, this order looks fine" and clicked confirm. Consumer associations are hitting Dell with all their force.

I really don't understand property prices at all. There's a new Trump Tower coming up in Gurgaon, India. There is nothing around it but other large towers and empty land. Yet all the apartments in these towers are already priced in the $400,000+ range - money that even a Google software engineer in India would need 20+ years to save.
That's not necessarily true. There's nothing to say that this wasn't an intentional stunt to push Prime Day to the front of various deal websites by selling camera equipment to professionals as a loss leader.

The size of Amazon is such that they can afford to bleed heavily from selling mid range pro camera equipment at a significant loss whilst recouping the profit from all the incidental purchases and traffic that the attention brought.

I'm not saying that this is what happened, but marketing budgets run into the millions (especially for a highly promoted yearly event like Prime Day) and dropping a few hundred thousand on a scheme like this isn't so outrageous.
Amazon is expected to be a good sport and take the loss

In several cases of mine, they just canceled the order. They certainly let FBO resellers flake on "errors". I've bought items that were priced low, bought the entire inventory, then found the order "cancelled" as "out of stock"... only to find the reseller list the exact same item in the same quantity with a new Amazon product number (but the same UPC) at a higher price. I pointed this out to Amazon, who insisted this was fine.

Google builds in interest of Google profits.

Phone manufacturers alter from there per carrier demands. Phone manufacturers us Android because it's free.

It's brilliant on Google's end.

Perfect example, is WiFi calling. That was available on Android forever, but only T-Mobile didn't restrict it. ATT and Verizon had it disabled because of how profits are calculated on cell sites. There's a whole per minute, text, and data calculation that shows money flow. T-Mobile allowed WiFi calling way back when because the network was a dwarf to the big carriers. And then apple caught up like normal and acted like they invented it, but don't even get me started on apple.

I concur, and I'm Dutch. The Dutch have a habit of complaining about the trains here, not realizing how it's, well, better than nearly anywhere else. Look at a railway map of the country, the complexity is more akin to that of a big city's metro network than that of most countries. There's trains everywhere and they go all the time. And then people have the audacity to complain if they have a 20 minute delay once in a while.

I do think it's ridiculous, however, than driving somewhere by car is cheaper than going the same distance by train once you're 2+ people in the car. I don't understand it. How can't trains be more economical? Is it just that the roads are more expensive to build and maintain than the tax we pay for it (via fuel taxes and road taxes and the likes).
Some businesses are built around that.
