Okay, I substituted "cryptographic state" for "host keys". It doesn't change my argument.
If renting out to anyone is profitable and there is suddenly more demand for housing, doesn't it encourage construction of new housing?

Re: The stagnation of Science and Technology. We've seen such stagnations before in history. Our culture has been losing the idea of science as a process of increasing understanding through inquiry. As expressed by the mass of people, the culture has been going towards a cargo cult worship of science. Western culture once enshrined the erroneous conclusions of Aristotle, instead of engaging in his act of inquiry.

Re: The particular exception of computers. If there were something like a PAIperclip Optimizer, it wouldn't be trying to produce paperclips. Rather, it would be producing something which is highly sought by virtually every person, most of industry, and every sector of society. If there were something like the PAIperclip Optimizer, we would see outsized progress in one particular area, focused around the production of the optimized thing. A super-optimizing AI wouldn't try to kill us off by firing off our missiles. It would instead warp our culture, so that it's producing the optimized thing.

Given that self preservation is such a strong, foundational behavioral pattern, the optimized thing would obviously be more and more faster and faster computers.
If you canceled because a feature that can easily be disabled, they never had you anyway.

They'll definitely cancel the orders. I once got a coupon from them for 50% off my first Prime Now order, and tried to buy $1000 worth of electronics for $500. They just canceled it and didn't even let me keep the coupon.

Adobe hit me with an unintended annual renewal out of a trial. I just wanted to try Adobe Premiere Pro on a school project...well, final exams happened and I forgot to cancel the subscription. Then I moved to a different country, started a new job, and continued to forget about Adobe. A month later I see the credit card bills and try to cancel. Somehow I have an annual contract that carries an early termination penalty.

Take the money you dogs; it's the last you'll get.
As I understand this if it lands on your doorstep and wasn't reclaimed by UPS/FedEx/USPS prior to that there's nothing they can do. They can ask you to send it back, but you don't have to. If they made the transaction and it's in your hands they can't put you in the red for the difference.
Fixing the entirely broken string/bytes mess up in Python 2 was worth it by itself. For bonus points old style classes went away, and the language got a significant speed boost. And now it’s not going to die a slow death, choking on the past poor decisions it’s burdened with.

Trivializing that by suggesting it was some offhand, unneeded solution to a problem that some dreamy “language designer” thought up is at best completely and utterly ignorant.

Also maintenance, in all forms, is work. That does involve updating your systems from time to time.

I think this is a splendid demonstration of what follows when a service goes from good defaults to bad defaults, and leaves you the user to check the box to change it back. FWIW.

Every PCB CAD package I've ever used gives you this view while you're laying out the board, so the easiest way would be to just take a screenshot of that.

It is not always economically rational though. The US has a history of using eminent domain to grab neighbourhoods full of small businesses so that they can be turned over to a big development projects of nominally higher value. Then the big developer pulls out or goes bankrupt, and the result is a ruined, rat-infested empty lot.

Those cases involving eminent domain and rats are the most dramatic, but it works at a more pedestrian level too. Say a government wants to dispose of some disused rail-yard or something. A developer who says "I'm going build some big shiny shops and attractions here" has better optics than a developer who says "I'm going to lay down some infrastructure and parcel the land up to whoever wants to buy it, nature will decide what the land is used for".

The latter is actually quite likely to produce the higher economic value land use, but there is no good political narrative. And in a world of strict zoning rules, there might not even be a legal framework for it.
It's "rulebook based" with support for a simple taxonomy.

It is a very different domain specific language. I recommend looking at this to see a programmer's view:

> Don’t turn redesigns into a revolution that alienates your core users

I've been a heavy Reddit user for 7 years (still am) and alienated is exactly how I feel about the desktop redesign. I rarely use Reddit on mobile, I'd say 99% of the time I use it via the desktop interface with RES.

It's like a different company took over a product they didn't understand, completely lacking skills to accomplish their goals. It's wrong on a design level, on a UX level, and on a technical level.

I absolutely love using Reddit and I've even considered making my own UI and feed it via their public API.
For the carriers it's not just about wanting to squeeze customers for more revenue (though it is also that).

Their networks are often provisioned under the assumption of super bursty traffic, where not all phones will be pulling at throughputs all the time. Laptop users will tend to use high throughput more consistently, and so be bad for their business model on the cost side.

A map() function that isn't just an iterated fork() would be glorious. Let me launch a thread team like in OpenMP to tackle map() calls containing SciPy routines and I'll be unreasonably happy.
Yeah personally I think Eric Weinstein has bought into the idea a bit too much and it is boring to listen to the same thing over and over, but when he talks about other things it is pretty interesting. Hopefully he is able to branch out with guests.

I'm not sure I'll like Thiel much, I've found recently that the more I hear him talk the less I like him, and I think his political views are pretty bad, but I'm sure he's a smart person generally speaking. Hopefully they don't spend too much on politics or religion.
Not trying to pick a fight, I'm genuinely curious- why should Amazon be expected to do that? Even with their attitude for good customer service, if you purchased an item a week ago why should they give you money now because it is on sale? Prime day isn't exactly a secret, I would say the fair argument here is that you wanted a TV in a hurry and weren't interested in waiting for the sale. Otherwise, should they also refund me 60% of the 2k I spent 2 years ago on my last desktop PC?
For those wondering the Congressman in question is Denver Riggleman, (R) representing VA's 5th district.
Sometimes is really expensive for the server to determine the size of the response before actually responding, e.g. some database lookups where it may not be known how many rows are returnable until the lookup is actually done.

Then there are situations where response content length is not known, such as streaming over HTTP.

Last, if a certain "Accept-Content-Length" became standard, like 8MB, developers (such as those for the ad industry) would just create javascript libraries that would download large files in 8MB chunks and sidestep it.
Is there a way to do that for the Netflix app on the fire stick? I can't seem to find it.
I honestly think that Disney is going to clean house. The amount of IP that they have is just staggering, and for some reason my generation (millenials) absolutely love everything that they put out (Avengers, Star Wars, etc).

Disney also seems to place a lot of emphasis on UX, so I bet that the app that they come out with will be fantastic.

It certainly is not how they would want to be treated, or this whole discussion could simply be settled by the holders of one opinion murdering everyone else. Nobody wants that applied to them, making everybody who rationalizes it being done to others a vulgar hypocrite.
Thank god OpenBSD mixes in data from hardware RNGs, and the bootloader collects entropy as part of the boot process, effectively turning that exploit vector into a state level attack.
I'm about to cancel my subscription because their content selection is weak overall. They have a few native shows that are worth watching. Beyond that, their movie selection is horrible (they've obviously navigated away from that for many years now).

The perpetual price increases are getting annoying. They're trying to relatively gouge the large US market to offset the fact that they're bleeding to death (on a cash generation basis they're losing extreme amounts of money, with no end in sight).

Their balance sheet - net tangible assets specifically - tells the future: -$2b 2015, -$4.5b 2016, -$6.7b 2017, -$9.7b 2018, -$15b as of 1Q19

Quarterly debt interest costs have soared from ~$35m in 2016, to $135m+ now. Meanwhile they bury themselves persistently under ever greater debt to fund production that they can't actually afford. It's going to end badly, if they could generate a real profit they would have done so by now (and competition is going to get worse, rather than lighter).
Really? That's a bit surprising to me as I've always thought their app was slick, easy to use, and responsive. Out of curiosity what device are you on?
I think that even standing a lot is A Bad Idea. You're trading one mobility problem (sitting with little/no motion) for another (standing with little/no motion).

Moving is better, all the way around. I'm biased I admit... but I think a walking treadmill (like the ones that LifeSpan Fitness makes) is the best all the way around.
It does at least to some extent. Core types like Vector are generic and there is some specific float32 code like:

This is somewhat cleaner, and I also use this idiom when things get ugly with the inline formatting shown above. But my point is that none of these are very elegant for an extremely common use case. Throw this block in the middle of some complex code with a few try/except and raise statements and it still looks confusing. Having two extra temp variables and statements per error in a function that's just doing control flow and wrapping unsafe code can double your local variable count and number of statements across the whole function. AFAIK, there has been no elegant solution to this common problem until f-strings came around; the only decently clean one is using printf-style format strings with the old-style operator, but outside of terseness I find it less readable.
No, it's not off-topic. They drive prices down through ruthless profiteering, by treating the wellbeing of society and employees as zero-cost externalities. They wouldn't be able to offer the prices they do, without the rapacious business practices. And those prices directly contribute to wasteful consumerism.
Have you ever heard Eric and Peter in a discussion together?
Any suggestions for where to get started? I've had one sitting for a long while as I had some ideas but I've never done anything
>Riggleman was in the Air Force for eleven years, serving as an intelligence officer. He then worked as a contractor for the National Security Agency.

He may just be familiar with programming.
I recently ported an early-2000s 2D game to WebAssembly and old Asyncify was too clunky and the Emterpreter was too slow to be useful. To get things working comfortably I ended up porting the game loops to use Clang's support for the C++ coroutines TS, with a simple scheduler that yields control back to the browser after every screen flip. I will have to see if this new Asyncify can do any better.
No it sounds like he was either an engineer or engineering manager somewhere in the DoD.
With the focus on series and binge-watching, I don't think it's a bad feature.
Of course Rust is international. Windows is international; Linux is international; VMS might possibly not be international. You'd think DoD would be buying Talos systems as fast as Raptor could spit them out, given all the talk about wanting things to be made in the USA, but even those will likely have parts from dozens of countries.

I don't want to knock Rep. Riggleman too hard, since knowing what Github is (let alone how to use it) puts him in the top one or two percent of Congress; but DoD is by no means a paragon of software development practice. It cares far too much about compliance for the sake of compliance and far too little about whether that compliance enables business objectives such as security or reliability. (And waivers are easy to obtain when compliance makes things better, but difficult when compliance makes things worse.)
A little off-topic but how does that work? Is 'it' a magic variable referring to the first argument? Never seen magic variables that blend into lambdas like that before... would've expected $1 or something like that.
That was an example of a broken review process, not of good content.
Of course you can have post-clause syntax: if...else, try...except, for...else, etc.

(Edit: Actually, I think I know what you were saying now, and those aren't quite the same thing as they need a line after them.)

I do think the condition on the next line isn't the way to do solve this problem though (and I don't think it needs solving, while True: ... if ...: break does the job).
Who cares about syntax that doesn’t work in old, dead versions of Python 3? 3.5 and above is all that matters.
Prolog has an ISO standard... I am not sure if it's still evolving, but specific Prolog implementations can and often do add their own non-standard extensions. For example, SWI-Prolog added dictionaries and a non-standard (but very useful) string type in version 7.

That said, it is nice that I can take a Prolog text from the 1980s or 1990s and find that almost all of the code still works, with minor or no modifications...
> “But isn’t the point to taste the chicken?” Furious and foreign, I replied: “No! It’s just the opposite! Cooking is about messing with the chicken! Cooking is about adding flavour!”

One cannot blame people for wanting to add flavor to the meat of a sick animal. I feel sad for her never having had the chance to taste a happy chicken. No amount of cooking can compensate for the lack of good ingredients. Natural ruin can be fertile soil for human creativity.

The NES PPU has a bit that when set will blank the first 8 pixels of each scanline.

I think there are games out there that do use sprites to do the same on the other side.
Same. With such a focus on UX, you'd think they wouldn't force that kind of crap as a default.
Ah, it happened in China, so that makes it totally cool and justified.

I am not the kind of person to swing the morality flag pretty much ever, but if you don’t see what’s wrong with this, then I don’t know what else to say.
Or this whole thing was a stunt. And a successful one that cost less than any equivalent in paid ads.
I'm also not a lawyer, but they have the ability to correct the error right up until it's delivered to you - every online retailer has something like that in their T&Cs. There's been plenty of cases where retailers have cancelled order and refunded any moneys paid and customers have had no recourse to enforce the contract.

After you've got the goods in your hands - well, there's likely a lot less they can do about it.

Some resources for the US here: https://smallbusiness.chron.com/company-advertising-price-wr...

Changing the price after the fact, or demanding you return it - well... That could end up with them in a whole lot of hot water themselves.

I'm not saying it won't work (I have no idea - there's no reason someone can't replicate all of s3's features eventually). I'm just saying that this "we're going to replace run s3 out of business" optimism is pretty unfounded right now. And on a factual level, "featureset is quickly approaching Amazon S3" is pure bullshit.
Wouldn't the same apply to practically any programming language and development tools? What if they'd chosen Microsoft Visual C++? Would that be less exploitable?
It’s a flavorful point of view but it really is about IAP. Only truly mad people go out and defend virtual slot machines, and that’s definitely the virus (smallest reproducing harmful life form) of the game industry.

For everyone telling them you can turn that feature off, for the Xbox app at least, I assure you that you cannot.
Netflix has yet to find a property that can go the distance and really hook people long term.

This whole “cancel a show after 3 seasons” is not what users who grew up with 6,7...10 year runs of shows connect to.

They need some content with long legs to keep the sort used to Frasier like life spans.

That’s who was tuning in during their growth period, for those old shows they can’t hang onto now.
That doesn't appear to be an outage. It appears to be equipment that requires GPS to have a particular level of precision, which may or may not have been chosen cleverly enough for times when GPS isn't working perfectly.

I only glanced over the paper but its novelty seems to lie in the turnstile language itself, i.e. the design of a metalanguage to define EDSLs that have a typesystem.

Yes, it is built using macros and I assume cleverly uses whatever macro system features Racket provides so there is possibly something novel there as well.

However, the fact that it can be done or has been done on its own is not quite so surprising to me. If you have the ability to inspect syntax you can obviously do something like that.

Netflix is fast on its way to becoming HBO, when other companies pull their content they'll use the money to pay for more original content. I wouldn't be too worried about their financials at the moment, but rather a year down the road when other subscription services are established.

I think you want to say California has the best restaurants/food vs. "California cuisine is the best cuisine".

Of course SF/Bay has some of the best restaurants in the world with French Laundry, Atelier Crenn, Benu, Saison, etc.

California cuisine is a food movement that originated in California. The cuisine focuses on dishes that are driven by local and sustainable ingredients with an attention to seasonality and an emphasis on the bounty of the region
The essentials of good coffee are a pleasant flavour profile served at the right temperature.

The flavour profile will be changed by bean selection, roasting, grind coarseness and pressure, the “dose” (volume of ground coffee placed in the portafilter), the compaction of the dose into the portafilter, the temperature/pressure/duration of the steam used to espress the coffee, and even the temperature of the cup the coffee is prepared in. That is before considering the treatment of the milk (or substitute) during the preparation of the coffee: warmed correctly and foamed just right, that milk will taste completely different to plain milk straight out of the fridge.

All along this process are the essential flavours from the coffee bean that are selectively enhanced or suppressed. The variables are so numerous that you can take the same roast beans to two neighbouring cafeterias using the same tap water and the same espresso machines, and the baristas will produce completely different coffees.

Baristas are important to a cafe, to the point that I would say the one key ingredient to a good coffee is finding the right barista.

That’s an impressively incorrect history of the operator.

The zen of Python is not a binding constitution. It does not mean nothing can be added if there is some way to do it already, especially if that way improves things. It’s no more “going against the principles” than f-strings where, and they turned out just great.
