How many cassettes do you own? When was the last time you gave someone a cassette? I bet it's been over a decade, because cassettes suck. The backups are made in linear time, you can only share them with someone who is physically next to you, it's a giant pain to edit cassettes at a specific point in time, mashups are impossible because you have to have very expensive analog equipment to beat match, and pitch shift is then a problem. If you want to listen to a custom playlist you have to have thought of that well in advance, and you can only have as many as you have room for bulky cassettes.

There's a reason nobody has a cassette deck anymore. It's not some conspiracy, and it's not because the kids don't understand. It's because they aren't very good.
I disagree. People have less sex in our society for about the same reasons they don't have kids. Contraception makes no difference when men and women don't bother to date each other.
How is a Toyota car not "automotive engineering", regardless of whether the flaw was hardware or software?
Bit of an exaggeration. I have yet to hit any device failures as an excessive user of USB-C. Worst I’ve had is devices that don’t support Thunderbolt or chargers/cables that don’t support USB-PD. The latter is usually a minor degradation.

I am aware that some faulty cables killed devices, but never ran across or even feared running across them.
Maybe if you had the money to grow up with a computer and had people around to help you. I didn’t program until 1991 in Turbo Pascal. It was a terrible experience and somehow it was something you were supposed to already know. On the Vax or Unix machines in the lab, literally nobody was helpful. If you asked a question people would bark “read the man page.”
>That's actually a fairly big difference. For instance, in the first model of null, nullable(nullable(T)) = nullable(T), but in the second, those are distinct types.

The difference is basically whether you use the Monad structure explicitly or not. Whereas Nullable(Nullable(T)) might not equal Nullable(T) if you use the Monad definition, there is a natural transformation between the two, which the other method just uses implicitly to make the two equal.

It's basically the difference between having a function which maps 'Just Nothing' to 'Nothing', or adding a rule to your programming language that 'Just Nothing == Nothing'.

Now the advantage of using the Monad structure is that you've got an easy way of chaining multiple functions that depend on non-nullable arguments, but might not return a value. So if you've got f: X -> Maybe Y and g: Y -> Maybe Z, the monad structure makes it easy to chain the two into a function h: X -> Maybe Z (this operation is basically the definition of the Monad). With the implicit definition you need to put a check in between to ensure the first function doesn't return Null. This difficulty is basically the reason for the recent addition of ?. operator to C# which first checks for null before accessing a member of an object.

Of course once you know it's a Monad you can also (ab)use any special notation a language might have for handling them. In python it's pretty tempting to just use:

for y in f(x):
for z in g(y):
yield z

to handle this particular situation. You just need to realise the equivalence between a function returning a nullable and a generator of at most 1 value. It doesn't really matter if you handle things explicitly or implicitly for this, but making the structure explicit helps take advantage of coincidences like this.
A Bridge to Nowhere
No, they were implemented as a result of labor-saving improvements in technology.

Activists always want to take credit, but it's the engineers and scientists who actually did the thing that changed the pattern that had lasted for 10,000 years. Unions are just one particular way of structuring one side of a human conflict that is as old as civilization and as inherent as gravity.

It's not just women, but men also opt out of marriage. Because we have no reason for marriage anymore. The writer, as usual, don't mention the elephant in the room. It must be intentional because she probably want to write about women's right and nothing else.

The reason is nothing but for the lack of money. We, the average Japanese, cannot afford to have a child anymore. We just barely afford to have a life for themselves.

Why did we have to have a marriage? Because of the children. Because in the Japanese society, the children is assumed that they have a parent consists of one male and one female in marriage relationship.

Since we cannot afford to have a child, there is no reason to marriage anymore.

What other functions the marriage offer?

Asset management and inheritance? No. We can't afford to have a reserve or real estate. There is no use for that.

Bonding the families? No, as rural areas are more and more abandoned and everybody concentrate toward a few big cities, there is no traditional bonding of the families in one area.

Sex? Well, Not anymore. Japanese marriage system assume that the marriage is a exclusive sex relationship between single male and single female. It support very narrow traditional sexuality and excluding today's most of the sexuality.

The marriage system is now outdated. Ironically, the traditional marriage system is one of the cause of birth decline. It's an obstacle. Some people still want to have a child driven by natural instinct, but the current Japanese society assume a marriage between a male and a female who share their asset as the one, agree exclusive sexual relationship. Not following that pattern and you have huge negative impact on tax, school, health insurance and everything which makes those who want to have a child but don't agree on traditional marriage system holding to have a baby.

Conclusion: The marriage is outdated.

Perhaps you know better, but my uneducated guess would be that just an ambulance vehicle costs 15k/month, then every medic costs 10k/month at least and there will be expensive weird things like commercial insurance that costs another 5k/month. 100k/month might make you break even in the long run.
People act differently when they know they're being watched. The government does not have the right to alter my behavior that way.

Next reason is that their laws aren't enforced equally. This tech is more likely to be used for small time crooks (and disproportionately, minorities) than used to stop CEOs or Epstein's, or cops that strangle handcuffed suspects of nonviolent offenses

You're looking at 4-5 different transactional systems with 1-1000 TB of data. You won't be getting access to those things since they process perhaps $1 MM of revenue per minute. Maybe you can use their ETL system if it is not overloaded. The query to join warehouse, shipping, delivery, orders, catalog probably will run 12 hours and cost $5000 dollars. Executives would rather have one line in their 300 page metrics booklet that says "item cost reshipped to customer suspected theft." If it is under $1 million per day I doubt they would care.
That's not really true, for instance Singapore isn't really democratic (it's effectively a one-party semi-totalitarian 'democracy') and you know what, it works really well there.

What if our world doesn't really need more people and the economic incentives (not everywhere, but in the west now and maybe everywhere later) are discouraging children? You could see that as bad if you value tradition. But maybe people used to have a lot of children because they were valuable to work the land and now the incentives are different. In the long run is it bad if people have less children for a while? There are more people alive today than ever before.
Many translations do not talk about "windows" but about "floodgates". The authors of the bible were from a culture whose cosmology interpreted the blue sky as an ocean and believed it could be poured on the earth.
I’m not sure I’m convinced that going into any discussion that prefaces worker organization as “impossible” is entirely in good faith. All industries view worker-related expenses as costs (they are) so I don’t see the exception in this case.

What I do see is that a $350-400M settlement was seen by insiders as being short an order of magnitude, meaning that the 65,000 tech workers affected by this wage-fixing crime left a lot on the table. Class actions lawsuits, it seems, aren’t the correct tool for this kind of negotiation and unions are a viable alternative.
Sort of. Gob requires registering concrete types you might use in interfaces, so I can't encode a type you haven't decided to whitelist. But the registration list is global in the library, so this doesn't work for access control (if your quorum leader can send it, your untrusted clients can also).

Lack of interop with other languages is still a bad idea (the lesson of Java RMI), and I thought Google agreed. Having all the C++ and Java and Python services speaking Stubby was one of the most futuristic experiences there.
>Definitely. Unions brought progress in terms of worker rights, up to a point.

That point being when capitalists convinced the government to limit the power of unions and stifle their use of union pension funds to finance things that would be beneficial union.

The thing is, at least according to Techmoan's videos, no one makes good cassette decks any more. They are all made at the same factory as cheaply as possible with bad motors and no noise reduction at all. So unless people are using old equipment the sound they are getting out of their cassettes is really terrible.

I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to kickstart a high end cassette deck

Yeah when I had cable or broadcast tv there was always such a stark difference in the ads between American channels and Canadian ones. Every commercial break in most American channels, especially day time tv, would have drug ads for the strangest things and I always remember being horrified at the side effects of most of them. The commercials in general are also always louder. I always felt like they were just yelling at me to buy their shit. Canadian ones tended to be quieter(though they kept getting louder over time too), there were no drug ads, almost no insurance or healthcare ads.

Earlier in dotcoms, I dug up his old email address this way, for a reason that seemed important at the time...

Some Google megacorp faceless bureaucracy combat drones (that was their initial approach) were trying to force me to give up a domain name, and implying they would take legal action and "prevail". I couldn't afford a lawyer, and I had better things to do with my time, but...

I wasn't yet using the domain name, and probably would've let it expire if they'd never contacted me, but their heavy-handedness raised a moral concern. At the time, Google was considered good, and clearly it was very important to humanity at the time that Google be good and stay good.

The whole "don't be evil" seemed to come from recognizing that Google would likely be very powerful (this was pretty clear earlier, as soon as you used their prototype, and realized it was not only better than everything else, but that they were more competent than almost all other dotcommers). They were declaring upfront that they took the responsibility seriously, and wouldn't abuse their position. And there was some early evidence that they believed in that (such as in objectivity of rankings, and being very clear about what was sponsored messages and not).

The domain name in question had been intended for a social commentary parody, of some social media manipulation behavior that had just started to emerge on a lesser Google property. I told the threatening lawyer-types that. I also pointed out that the domain name obviously would never be mistaken for a Google brand, and that I'm pretty sure that the bit of intentional similarity to one of their brands would be considered protected use in the US.

When they still wouldn't back off -- and since I couldn't afford a lawyer to argue the points, but I was concerned -- I looked for the founders' old email addresses, and used Brin's (IIRC) to initiate a domain name transfer to him. Then I told the lawyer-types (and a PR contact there) something like, if they wanted the domain name, they'd have to talk to him about it, and maybe have a "don't be evil" discussion. IIRC, they said they'd wait for the domain to expire.
And not locking workers inside factories? Was that implemented as a result of labor-saving improvements in technology? You should look up the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York, 1911, which it could be argued is what kicked off the modern unionization effort. [1]

A long time ago I had to write a Windows custom control for text rendering. This was really hard to do in a performant way once you dealt with different fonts, pages sizes, scrolling and all the other stuff we usually take for granted. One of the most painful months in my life but I learned a lot since nobody told me how to do this so I had to make it all up.
I believe it is the latter. I have a USA number and when I travel abroad I get spoofed calls originating from USA numbers. The opposite pretty much never happens though. Domestically I almost never receive calls spoofed from an international number (outside of USA) calling to my number (Inside USA).

That doesn’t necessarily tackle the scenario you’re calling out (someone outside USA acts like they are inside USA when spoofing a call). That might be the loophole they are actually trying to close (this simply gives them a way to prosecute bad actors who are spoofing USA domestic calls but live outside the USA). Which if it is, great.

Otherwise if they mean international inbound calls it doesn’t really affect consumers since if it is referring to calls originating from outside USA, those basically never happen in practice anyway and it would make this kind of enforcement pretty much useless.
The US also has a lot of people putting off sex, marriage, etc.

I suspect part of it is just there's stuff to do 24/7. If you have internet access, you can read, educate yourself (with or without credentials), talk to people around the world, watch porn etc etc any time of the day or night.

A former hippy once told me "TV shut off at 9pm. There wasn't anything else to do but sex and drugs."

We have the opposite of that. There are so many things to do, lots of people seem to be forgoing sex. Because: Meh.
Ha! I have a very similar experience and I agree with all your points. I really enjoy the basic experience and `kak` is my main text editor ATM, but some details and parts of the philosophy are infuriating me.

I started `breeze` as a prototype way to show kakoune author how kak could potentially work https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/issues/2590 , and later decided that actually I could maybe push it further into a full new text editor.

I'd like to make it more natural to use, and get rid of the (IMO) pointless idiosyncrasies like the plugin API being keystroke based. I'd like to also make it easy to embed into other software, so that there's some hope that it could be easily integrated into existing software, so I'm not doomed to forever switch between kakoune and classic-vi editing.

There's a real Stockholm syndrome prevalent here. Is the request so unreasonable?

And it's even worse. I browse with NoScript, no JS by default. Often I'm presented with a blank web page. I simply do View -> Page Style -> No Style in Firefox and usually I get a perfectly readable page.

Which means that countless sites go out of their way to be hostile to people not using JS. That's now acceptable?
