The bigger question is, what is there to be done? What is the road to a more uniform handling of JSON? I've handled some JSON before and it's usually fairly easy untill you catch one of these strange implementation quirks. But I'm not sure that those quirks can be ironed out at this point.

Amplifying your mind by programming the tools you need is more like bicycling without a trail over rocky ground, walking it up steep slopes and carrying it over fallen trees, than it is like bicycling on a road.

Programming is helpful for finding cases you didn't think of and remembering the details you aren't working on right now (like writing) - but only for programming.

Writing is the bicycle of the mind.
Why Diversity Matters – diversity helps us work better
I'm not sure if there ever existed a man as ahead of his time as Von Neumann.
"Consequently, a few decades hence energy may be free—just
like the unmetered air—with coal and oil used mainly
as raw materials for organic chemical synthesis, to
which, as experience has shown, their properties are
best suited."

I am wondering why this prediction is so off given how other ones are spot on? How the situation back then made John von Neumann believe it, and what happened differently, moving this into the realms of fantasy.

Perhaps if an another effort of a scale of the Manhattan Project had happened, the concept of the "free energy" would have been more realistic.

They give concrete examples and case studies. Including specific examples of specs.

Desperate for what? It's a fact that capitalism can accommodate any catastrophe and help those who have capital profit from it. That's why the rich are not worried about global warming. They know eventually millions, maybe even billions will die, and the planet will be theirs for the taking. Imagine all the profit to be made from the creative destruction. They even know that no one will make them pay for it... all the capital that has been privatized that caused all the environmental damage, no one is going to go to them and say hey you have to pay for all this global warming and all these people suffering because of it. That boat has already sailed.

Same goes for rich nation vs. poor nations, the rich nations which industrialized and caused this mess will not have to pay for it, the poor nations that can't afford it will. Environmental destruction favors those who do the destruction as they have reaped the rewards by the time those who have not have to pay for it.

And maybe the retort is that this is too conspiratorial and no one ever meant for any of this to happen it just did out of self-interest. And if that's how schizophrenic your civilization is, in that it has no consciousness to see what it's doing and stuff just happens out of self-interest and good intentions. Then maybe you need to reconsider how you are doing things... and maybe you need a narrative to guide your decision making that paints the various actors for what they are rather than machines acting in self-interest.
This is done with OCR, specially when digitizing things.

The Internet Archive does this a lot. There was an old 90s book that I needed but they never made an electronic edition. So the internet archive, scanned and digitized it with character recognition to make a select-able PDF like this, as well an epub that can be read on your phone like any other ebook.

Now that book is available for anyone to borrow and read. (its still copyrighted so you gotta access it via their DRM controlled app/website, but that can be easily broken and its better than not having access to that book at all)

Gruber is acting surprised. This isn’t a surprise. Here, from 2017:

Siri records your queries too, but she doesn’t catalog them or provide access to the running list of requests. You can’t listen to your history of Siri interactions in Apple’s app universe.

While Apple logs and stores Siri queries, they’re tied to a random string of numbers for each user instead of an Apple ID or email address. Apple deletes the association between those queries and those numerical codes after six months. Your Amazon and Google histories, on the other hand, stay there until you decide to delete them.

http://themillenniumreport.com/2017/03/not-only-are-alexa-si...

From Wired, “Apple finally reveals how long Siri keeps your data”, in 2013:

Once the voice recording is six months old, Apple "disassociates" your user number from the clip, deleting the number from the voice file. But it keeps these disassociated files for up to 18 more months for testing and product improvement purposes.

"Apple may keep anonymized Siri data for up to two years," Muller says "If a user turns Siri off, both identifiers are deleted immediately along with any associated data."

"An internet reinvents 19th century anarchism"

"Found" is a special word in the U.S. legal system. Juries are factfinders. They make findings, which means they answer yes/no questions about whether specific things happened. Juries are typically asked to make affirmative findings, and only very rarely negative ones. So a "not guilty" finding doesn't mean innocent in the sense that the jury is sure the accused didn't do it. It only means they are not sufficiently sure the accused did do it. Thus there is no such thing as being "found innocent." There is only "found not guilty."

An example why this matters is the Simpson case itself. A 1997 civil jury went on to find him liable for the deaths of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. The two findings are consistent because they applied different burdens of proof. The criminal jury said they weren't sure beyond a reasonable doubt that he killed them. The civil jury said it was more than 50% likely he did. Thus Simpson was criminally "not guilty," but civilly "liable" for the damage he caused. Taken together, these legal rulings say he was absolutely not "found innocent."
They have this. It's called powershell and I hate it. If you're going to write code, use a real programming language.

I'm saying, for reasons given in my initial comment, that it does not appear in any way contradictory or surprising to people like me who don't hold certain assumptions. Of course other people may find it paradoxical. We're in agreement that it's not a fundamental ontological category, i.e. that it's part of a map not the territory.

And it's possible to argue about whether a particular map is flawed or not, such as it being flawed because it contains certain flawed assumptions. If we can show that a map in which it seems paradoxical is flawed, and show that a different map, in which it doesn't seem paradoxical, is more accurate, then this can be grounds for arguing that the phenomenon is no deserving of being called paradoxical.
> Maybe I’m a wimp about rogue likes in general though

That really is a core element of roguelikes- some playthroughs, you're just going to get screwed by the random number generator- hence the saying "pray to RNGesus". And when you die, you start over- no fixing, no recovery.

With those precepts in mind, FTL is a pretty fair game. I've beaten the mothership a few times in vanilla FTL, and each time it was a combination of making good tactical decisions, and getting one of the several equipment configurations that I knew how to capitalize on. There's no shame in bailing early on a run where you know you're not going to get a useable set of equipment.

The only way I know to "cheat" (and one I don't feel guilty doing) is to discuss strategies among a community of people who have also been experimenting with different approaches. That's how I learned that teleporters and mantis raiders are so OP.
I've been astonished at the amount of originals that I've seen while I browsed Netflix the other day. The quality though has been very varied though. I watched the first episode of Another Life and I think it is the single worst first episode of TV I have seen. It will be very interesting to see which streaming platform will prevail in the end with so many big players entering, I wonder if the key to "winning" is having the high quality series or a myriad of mediocre choice?
I think Powershell tried to do something like this article suggests. I appreciate the efforts, but do agree with the common criticism of verbosity.

Also, it goes to show that no matter how bad aspects of bash are, the power accumulated over the years is hard to match, and a lot of that power is strongly coupled to the arcane and terse conventions.
"Some" (i.e. more than one?) of the tellers picked out Allen - a man with prominent facial tattoos. I.e. they must have been mistaken.

I've had to do an identity parade; I failed to correctly identify the perp. I'd eyeballed the guy for only a few seconds, and the line-up was three months later. I picked someone out, but it was the wrong guy. The perp and everyone in the line-up were all black guys; I'm white, and not very good at telling black guys apart.

Line-ups are on the whole poor quality evidence.

[edit] The cops also screwed up; I learned later that me and the suspect had been in the same room in the cop-shop, prior to the line-up.
It is cooperative, so no control is relinquished predictably. The difference is the syntactic limitations of the current async model prevent building abstractions.
You're right, this is an extension of what the author experienced. What the author experienced were co-workers that did not share his perspective, and he called this difference of opinion disparaging and racist.

I can easily find over 100 protests against abortion in a given year. Does it follow that I am obliged to agree with these protesters, otherwise I am disparaging them? If a bunch of anti-abortion protesters block freeways and someone points out that this mostly annoys the populace and is counterproductive to the protesters goals, then that is disparagement? No.

If nothing else, this author definitely seems to think that he is entitled to the approval of his co-workers when it comes to his political views. And when he does not get the approval from his peers that he feels entitled to, he calls his co-workers racist. If the author wants people to have empathy for the protesters, then he or she should lead by example and exercise empathy for those co-workers that do not share his perspective on the protests. Otherwise, the author ends up looking like a hypocrite.
I'm arguing that it is neither paradoxical nor contradictory, and that there is an error (outlined in my initial comment) in the maps in which it seems such.

I believe these terms (including "exceptional state", but no "exception") are commonly used in formal languages, combinatorics, rewriting systems, mathematical logic and so. They are also used in Haskell because this was partially based on System F, which comes from the simply typed lambda calculus. I understand your frustration and please believe me that it was not my intention to turn this thread into a pedantic show.

But now coming back to your original point and example: I don't think anyone from the Haskell and ML-family languages camp is claiming one can automatically deduce every possible decidable property from any function with their type system, or at least not yet :)

It is regained in exactly the same cases it would be in the async model: when a blocking operation completes and the scheduler resumes the now ready thread. As scheduler is called executor in the async world, while a thread is a coroutines, but the concepts are very similar.

This was before Chernobyl, and without Chernobyl the industrialized world would probably be mainly on nuclear fission power by now.

FTP isn't such a good protocol anyways (and there are better programs for accessing FTP than most web browsers); there is Gopher, HTTP(S), Plan9, TFTP, SSH, and other protocols.

(I also invented a httpdirlist format (I have been told that httpdirlist is like WebDAV but not as bad; but I don't know WebDAV so I cannot say if it is or not). But, sometimes, the other protocols is better than HTTP(S) anyways.)

I think it is fine to have them implemented in separate programs, although sometimes you might want to display the result in the browser; one possibility is that the user can configure a program to execute and can configure it to treat the data that program writes to stdout as a HTTP response (possibly with different permissions than normal; it might allow some things that are normally disallowed, and some things that are normally allowed might not work). You might then also want to support other MIME types. You can do this also with external programs; so one configuration option could be to allow treating the program as a filter to convert it into a format the browser understands (e.g. plain text, HTML, PNG, etc; perhaps farbfeld should be supported too, even only for the purpose of these external filters).
Wars have destroyed huge swaths of a country’s infrastructure without creating hyper inflation.

Also of note hyperinflation does not occur with when the physical currency has high intrinsic value. Such as with the gold or silver standard meaning that any physical cause is insufficient on it’s own. Though a currency can and generally will be moved off of these standards in though economic situations.

So really the minimum requirements are fiat currency or a close equivalent allowing for significant money creation. Everything else is at best a trigger, but is not always repeated in every instance.
This doesn't come as a surprise to me at all. It will be very interesting to see how big tech will do in the long run with accepting money from dictatorships and less than savory actors. I fear that it will only get worse, especially this very situation as the year of 2047 approaches. The ethics of having one of these platforms under your control is so important to political discourse that I don't know if they should be privately owned even though it pains me to say that. I'd be happy to be persuaded the other way!
That depends on the legal system in place. For instance, Scotland has "guilty", "not guilty", and "not proven", with a distinct difference between "not guilty" and "not proven". There are other legal systems as well where a verdict that amounts to exoneration exists, some with a sort of presumption of guilt, where the exoneration is simply a finding against presumption, and others where there's the same difference between "you probably have the wrong guy" and "you haven't met the burden of proof" as in Scotland.

tldr: Dude makes irresponsible claim that Trump is a fascist by referring to "orange skull" and has publication rejected.

Fascism was invented by Mussolini, as the combination of socialism and nationalism. Mussolini was a fellow traveler of Lenin, who congratulated Mussolini when he took power in Italy. Hitler patterned the Nazis (the national socialist party) after Mussolini's creation.

I'd hardly call Trump a socialist.

Really, the only time it would matter is if you are parsing user-provided JSON and said user was trying to exploit your parser somehow.

But 99% of the time, I'm not parsing user-provided JSON, so I don't ever encounter these corner cases and parsing/serialization works great.

"Too cheap to meter" was a common assumption about the future of nuclear power when it first began. If you only look at the amount of power available based on the raw materials, it's a reasonable prediction.

They simply didn't take into account all of the associated costs and complexities that would be involved with the actual nuclear power plants, not to mention the political and social complications.

That doesn't mean such a future can never happen, it's theoretically possible. We're simply in a place right now where it's hard to imagine with our current level of technology and our current energy economy.

Its available on the web or on iOS. And there’s a premium tier if you want more advanced features (and unlimited access to the API).

A major release is in the works that will add the ability to start a blog from Pine.blog so that you can quickly and easily contribute back to the open web on your own site. Right now you can post to a Wordpress blog if you have one.

That's a pretty peculiar viewpoint.

That means I deserve a bite." when you complained, would you find that reasonable?
