Yes. For those not familiar, KyoAni is not a "huge" studio, in that it usually only produces one show per season, and often none at all. They are highly respected due to the shows that they do make are very high quality (the animation is nearly always great, and stories are usually hand selected now as part of a competition). If you want to watch one of their recent series that received lots of acclaim, the show Violet Evergarden is on Netflix. Very hard to understand why anyone would want to attack them.

An attack with over 20 dead with more injured could mean over half of their employees are dead/hurt.
It is about how he used to believe his world was the product of a free market, and how he slowly realised that this was not the case - that market forces are irrelevant in the world of civil engineering, as public investment does not typically even involve doing the simplest possible analyses of long-term costs and revenue. From "idealogue", pinning his entire perspective on a limited set of theoretical principles, to someone who recognises the messy and broken reality that doesn't actually fit into the theoretical mold.

>At this point in my life, I was a self-described free-market Republican with an outspoken passion for markets and my chosen profession of civil engineering, which to me was a technical way to say “city building.” If I had been pushed to reconcile my rejection of congestion pricing with my support for the free market, I would have had no problem. I would have said something like:

> Markets are about the expression of personal preference. It was clear that, since most people drove automobiles, auto-based infrastructure was the clear market preference. Since most people lived in single-family homes, they were also the clear market preference. Given those clear and obvious preferences—combined with the fact that people paid taxes and expected the government to respond to their desires—charging people more for something they already paid for was a ploy to benefit the rich. Instead of congestion pricing, the state should have been building more capacity.

Anyone got a link to a mirror of the leaked docs?
I’ve always been in the weak Sapir-Whorf hypothesis camp that your tools of expression influence and (sometimes) define your thoughts. A great example is the idea of matrices in math. Matrices don’t allow you to represent anything that a system of equations can’t. But it turns out that they are a very helpful tool and let you abstract over the problem space, much in the same way that higher order functions do.

It’s exactly like Paul Graham says, you might think that Python is just allowing you to write executable pseudo-code, but the interaction isn’t so simple.

I’ve programmed a lot of Python and when I first started out, I felt like it was very frictionless, like you said. An easy way to put down thoughts. But as I learned more about functional programming and type theory, I realized that Python is inadequate and operates a top low level. i.e it feels like there’s so much friction there.

I have used a variety of languages professionally (Scala, Haskell, OCaml, Racket, C, and Python mostly) and they all fall short (some more than others) on what I feel like I should be able to express. But if I had to chose, I would probably say OCaml or Racket come the closest to my thoughts, depending on the problem.

Anyway, my point is that it’s not obvious how your tools affect the level and abstraction of your thoughts. It’s almost always a bi-directional relationship, and therefore, choosing (or making) the right tool and method of abstraction is very important. See Beating the Averages[1]. PG talks about the a hypothetical language called Blub. Blub isn’t the best, but it’s not the worst either. If there was a platonic form of Blub, it would most definitely be Python.

It's still true. Japanese animators are paid by the pennies and work ridiculous hours. Since they're often paid on a per-frame basis rather than hourly pay, sometimes it adds up to less than minimum hourly wage. KyoAni was actually one of the few who were known to pay reasonably well, and they also had sort of dormitories slash training facilities for their animators. As for computers, generally speaking the frames are still drawn on paper and scanned, and then colored digitally.

The rayon crate has a global state: the entire program must use the same thread pool, even if different crates depend on different rayon versions.

It uses a Cargo feature meant to be used by native libraries: you typically can link them only once (or else the build will fail when it finds repeated symbols), so Cargo must ensure only one is present on the entire dependency graph. And IIRC Rayon depends on an auxiliary crate that fakes a native lib and provides the thread pool.

If this seems very hacky and convoluted, it's because it is.

I know you want to know those things. Find another way to handle those issues.

To be a "good reason", you need to show why your reason is worth paying the high price of betraying every user's browsing path to every server. Worrying about hotlinks and typos... "ain't the same fuckin' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same fuckin' sport".

It looks like this will make efficient data transfer much more convenient, but it's worth noting this had always been possible with some manual effort. Python has had `mmap` support at least as long ago as Python 2.7, which works fine for zero-overhead transfer of data.

With mmap you have to specify a file name (actually a file number), but so long as you set the length to zero before you close it there's no reason any data would get written to disk. On Unix you can even unlink the file before you start writing it if you wish, or create it with the tempfile module and never give it a file name at all (although this makes it harder to open in other processes as they can't then just mmap by file name). The mmap object satisfies the buffer protocol so you can create numpy arrays that directly reference the bytes in it. The memory-mapped data can be shared between processes regardless of whether they use the multiprocessing module or even whether they're all written in Python.

I would argue that foreign investment plays almost no role.

Homes generate cashflows (rents). Rents are a function of local economy (paychecks). What one is willing to pay for a home is a function of rents, risks, interest rates and expected changes in rents, risks and interest rates.

If home prices are not detached from these fundamentals (and is there evidence that they are?), some investor is going to buy them, foreign or local.
> companies doesn't have morals

Call it whatever you want, the way big companies like Amazon operate has moral implications and, therefore, Amazon has a moral. The fact that is isn't a single living organism but a sum of many doesn't mean it has no morals whatsoever.

I do understand your line of thinking - how do we create a law that can't be exploited? Because, after all, we expect it to be exploited at some point.

Although in my country the rules are the same (the lowest announced price has to be honored) there was a issue a few years ago that a product was announced at a much lower price. A judge ruled in favor of the seller. I don't really recall the details but I think the ruling was based on the fact that the law was supposed to avoid sellers exploiting buyers, but the announced price was a clear mistake.

Common sense above all, I guess.
Sadly, the industry chose to abuse it to the detriment of the users. Enough reason to take it away.
Yes, mostly just analytics and standard fare from all websites. For the most part, it's just the regular "Share on Facebook/Twitter/Etc." buttons that you see all over the internet. All of the social media have trackers embedded in those buttons. It's always confused my why anyone would actually share what porn video they were watching with their friends on social media.

The one thing that isn't standard for porn sites is ad serving/tracking. They usually don't use ads served from Google and Facebook, probably because most people don't want their "regular" ads being served on a porn site. So most major porn sites have their own ad system.

Why fault? If Facebook is internally transparent and allows all/most of the employees access to all internal documents -- that's good transparency and good company culture in my eyes.

It does put a lot of responsibility on employees: Don't leak internal data, but do express your opinion if something doesn't look right (and yes, perhaps even leak the offending documents if something illegal or clearly unethical is happening in the company)

From the article:

I think they just ask questions for the sake of asking questions. Had FB picked any other language, I am fairly certain that it would have been scrutinized as well.

Are politicians concerned about Libra? I think so. But I also think that they try to "attack" it from all possible angles and the programming language is one of these angles. Because if Libra gets out of hand, they do not want to be responsible for not having done their due diligence.

Are you domain forwarding, and if so, is your SPF record set up correctly?
I’ve always thought that you don’t really understand a problem until you have a solution to it. What I like to do is first write a naive solution to a problem so I can understand it better. Then I throw away the code and start again. I invariably learn a lot more about a problem and the most elegant solution than I would have if I had just tried to write a perfect solution right off the bat.

Code, after all, is cheap (and often totally worthless). More developers should adopt this view. I’ve seen engineers more times than I would care to admit get attached to some piece of code, as if it was some piece of themselves. Code is more akin to dogshit than the limb of a dog.
> The court ruled that a sales contract is not binding if the buyer can reasonably suspect that the price shown is so absurdly low that an error on the side of the seller is apparent.

How can you prove something like that in court in this camera case?

For example, let's say you were just getting into photography and were window shopping by browsing around Amazon's site.

You run into a camera that has a 4.7 average rating with 3,000+ reviews and the example pictures that people were posting look great to you. You have no idea about camera specs but you see it for $149, so you buy it. That doesn't seem too unrealistic, especially not when phones cost $1,000. You could totally think "oh, well $150 for just a camera sounds about right".
> Math can't deal with imperfect input and/or side effects without turning into something else.

This is just not true. Differential equations certainly deal with change over time (except it's not called "side effects" there) and imperfections. The analog for discrete systems in temporal logic.
"\{x\}" includes the backslashes into the string literally. So even if that worked for f-strings it would change the meaning for older Python versions. Requiring people to update common old code is also just something to avoid unless necessary.

The correct way to escape braces in f-strings is with double braces, so f"{{x}}". This is consistent with the way str.format works. f-string syntax is very similar to str.format syntax in general.
Morality has no place when dealing with a corporation. Legality is the only thing that counts.

>> If you accidentally purchased a bag of M&Ms from Amazon for 500 dollars instead of 5, they will let you undo it

If it is technically possible, then it is the seller's mistake and the customer deserves a refund. The seller may choose to not undo. The customer may choose to sue them. It is a PR nightmare in today's world. It is illegal.

>> On the other hand, if the matter is reversed, Amazon is expected to be a good sport and take the loss — even if the purchase was made in bad faith (ie- knowing Amazon mis-priced it but purchasing it anyways.)

If it is technically possible, and if the customer has not hacked the system in any way, it is the seller's mistake. The customer should not care. Once the sale is made, it is legally over. The seller has no legal way of recovering the money from the customer. The seller should have verified the prices.

Facebook's hysterical reaction to the leak suggests the company didn't actually expect anyone to leak information about illegal and clearly unethical business practices.

> What does a while loop evaluate to in your favorite language?

depends on what you want! for example this Haskell package¹ defines three versions of while:

-- collect the result of each iteration into a list
whileM :: Monad m => m Bool -> m a -> m [a]

-- combine the result of each iteration together into a final result
whileM' :: (Monad m, MonadPlus f) => m Bool -> m a -> m (f a)

-- drop the results and return `()`
whileM_ :: Monad m => m Bool -> m a -> m ()

by convention, the ones ending in an underscore (`forM_`, `whileM_`, `sequence_` etc) drop their results, i.e. are only used for their side-effects.

It all comes down to coordination and regression, which are quite complex in monoliths.

Suppose you'd like to push code change to production for your monolith - how do you know that someone else's change 1) is ready to to production together with yours 2) does not affect your module. Typically these can't be answered easily - and so release process is converted to manual testing and scheduled (and often slow) releases.

I would say that all depends on the idea itself and the technical complexity of the app.

If it is a pretty straight forward app you should probably hire a single developer/ team of 2 person to develop the app.

If the idea involves a lot of technical complexities it will be a good idea to get a technical partner first and then look for outside help. The technical partner will help you with some part of the code and managing the freelancer/team etc.

If you are not a technical person, you should really write down what exactly you need from the freelancer even before you start looking for one.

Do not go for the cheapest freelancer that you can find.
