That I think is exactly the point that we should be 'fighting' for.

I bought $medium, and I want to consume it however I want. I didn't "request a license" to use it how they want me to.

For Example, take a Stephen King book.
If I bought a Stephen King hardcover book;
I can use it as a paper-weight, bug-killer, timeless tome to read under the covers, or Other.
If I bought the DVD movie, I can play it for personal enjoyment where-ever I want, however I want. I can also just listen to the audio output, or mute it and just have the video playing. I can consume it in anyway that I want.
If I am buying an e-book, the options and methods of consumption change are different but should not be limited. If I ask my partner to read that hardcover book to me at night the Publisher doesn't get to charge me addition money for it.

There have been text-to-speech computer programs going back DECADES. If I had Sound-Blaster 'SAY.exe' [1] read to me the ebook that I bought NOBODY would be crying over "you are stealing our monies!"

The modern text-to-speech is nothing more then SAYv2019.

If I don't want text-to-speech, I'll but the Audio-book and hear it performed by a real-person.

We do not do electric heating because that would be riddiculously expensive. Most single-family homes still use coal, some newer ones use natural gas.
> Then PHPCE wouldn't have been for you, along with all the other tech conferences I've attended, as they generally had talks that weren't strictly PHP.

I couldn't find the (now cancelled) schedule for 2019, but to be fair it looks like PHPCE was a very focused conference: https://2018.phpce.eu/de/#agenda

Compare that with the holistic schedule of RubyConf, for example: http://rubyconf.org/schedule

That's a different argument. The right argument is whether you should get subtitles and/or the script for free. Similar would be whether YouTube can automatically add subtitles to videos without explicit permission from the video uploader.
You're taking that a little too literally. I wish they published more human-focussed, long-form writing on a range of topics that is readable and relevant even years after it's first published. It seems to have veered quite heavily into fast-cycle political stuff in the last couple of years.
I agree, changing the orthography because pronunciation would be a disaster, especially when you don't have a consistent spelling system like in English.
I will be immodest and say that I reached that stage a long time ago. Because, for better or worse, I learned CS before I really learned to program :-/ I did program in middle/high school, but not very often, and I was bad it. I was better at reasoning about data structures than debugging, and I think the latter skill is "table stakes" before calling yourself a programmer.

As a concrete example of thinking outside a particular language, My shell Oil is 24K lines of code that does most of what bash does at 140K LOC, written not in Python, but:

1. OPy, a subset of Python 2 -- http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2018/03/04.html#faq

2. Zephyr ASDL -- http://www.oilshell.org/cross-ref.html?tag=zephyr-asdl#zephy...

3. a mathematical dialect of regular expressions (that runs under both Python's re engine and re2c's dialect, via translation).

In other words, it's a composition of DSLs, independent of any language.

I started a translator from OPy (typed with MyPy) to C++. It partially works but doesn't translate the whole codebase yet. If it works then I will have fully achieved this "language abstraction" goal.

It's analogous to how TeX was implemented by Knuth. TeX is not implemented in Pascal and compiled with a Pascal compiler. It's implemented in H-Pascal, and abstract subset of Pascal. Then it's translated to C and compiled with a C compiler!

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16526151

In case it isn't obvious, this makes the style of code VERY different and more abstract than what you see in every other codebase.

This approach has downsides -- namely that the shell is way too slow right now. Hopefully the translation will fix that. Either way, I can definitely claim that the ideas and architecture are completely separate from any programming language. I've documented a lot of these ideas on the blog:

Why Filler Words Like “Um” and “Ah” Are Useful
The general rule of thumb is not to transliterate names written in Latin sript, but to transliterate those not written in Latin script (e.g., Cyrillic, Arabic).

The annoying habits are people who preserve the basic acute, grave, diaeresis, and circumflex accents on vowels but not those in other contexts (such as the Turkish ǧ, which really changes how the word is pronounced)--The Economist is a.bad offender here.
Wow. Even I know this. It's mentioned in every entry level text on EC cryptography.
I'm trying wireguard at the moment for the always on feature. Setup was absurdly easy.
Rabbit holes are why I grew to love Haskell and pure-functional programming in general. For better or worse, Haskell (Agda, Idris...) doesn't let you compromise very often.

You could argue that this is terrible for productivity, and you might be right, but at the same time, means that a lot of people have done a lot of research on how to do things the "right" way in Haskell, and any project I've done with the language has led me to learning a whole slew of new things about type theory, category theory, and PL theory in general, which I can then take and apply to "productive" languages.

Aye this is a fair point, but ultimately it's self defeating for the employer as their comp model is selecting for employees with irrational hope or those whose market value is comparable to salary only comp.

The startups greatest asset in hiring has always been the ability to create outsized reward for employees who will accept higher risk. It doesn't make economic sense for public companies to be capable of matching or exceeding startup equity comp on successful exits.
If you livestreamed reading to your children you would have to pay -- you are performing the work in public.

Getting into a more regular exercise routine might be a good thing. Weightlifting works well for myself, alas it does nothing to curb the appetite. :) But it's a great way to relax the mind and get a break from everything. It helps produce testosterone as well, supposedly.
Well, if you do not like white background, just change default background in your browser config. I have light gray and it is perfect. I do not see why websites should override default colors unless they have a good reasons for specific colors.

Also, the color calibration AFAIK does not specify brightness. Perhaps the headaches are not from contrast, but from too much brightness?
Exploring a Startup-Focused Pivot
This is so not true. Induction (or at least the one I have) is ridiculously fast and goes way hotter than any gas stove I've ever seen in a house. It goes so high it can make the bottom of my pan orange glowing if I turn up the heat enough. It even has a boost mode, but I never use it because it will literally burn your food black in around 5 seconds without stirring or 2 minutes when continuously stirring.
This was my first thought as well. Android will basically be able to do the same thing that Audible is doing but on a much larger scale. I wonder how many different licenses that is going to affect?

Current voting system in Russia is so adjustable the data from it is used as examples of statistics anomalies.

A moth ago a scientific paper was published with a formally proven mathematical model which described the last year's election of a Primorskiy kray governor. Results of that vote were nullified in 2 weeks just to make a new temporary governor so he would win an opposing candidate in the next one by using an administrative resource.
Related: anyone on MacOS, try to use the dictionaries built into the OS. They are extremely high quality and have surpassed sources I've seen elsewhere. Even for words in my native language I'll pick up a lot of interesting details and synonyms. And on top of that they have a lot of language-to-language dictionaries for anyone who deals with foreign languages a lot.

It's actually on my short list of things that make me want to stick to MacOS desppite everything

We're experimenting with the value proposition of a DIY, smartphone-based approach, independently of the 3D representation. What you're seeing is us taking the (temporary) approach that's allowed us to iterate a lot faster on the non-technical side of things.
The problem is not unique, but it's uniquely persistent among the languages that I'm more-or-less familiar with.

“Foreign names can get inconsistently mangled in Czech”—but to my knowledge Czech doesn't attempt to preserve foreign spelling, with e.g. letters Ñ or Ø. Czech adapts spelling to native pronunciation, which is my entire point. The ‘mistake’ here is that English keeps doing things backwards, and ‘Čapek’ is just one example here.

I had to look up the usage of ‘W’ in Czech, and Wikipedia says: “The letters Q, W and X are used exclusively in foreign words, and the former two are replaced with Kv and V once the word becomes ‘naturalized’.”

There's a close example in Russian: John ‘Dr.’ Watson's surname can be pronounced either ‘Vahtson’ or ‘Oo-ohtson’, but there's no intermediate sound like English ‘W’ in Russian (and no letter for it). So the name was spelled either of the two ways in print until it became settled on ‘Vahtson’ (‘Ватсон‘), which fits more naturally in the rest of the language. I expect a similar thing to happen to ‘Williams’ in Czech, though I'm surprised that they still have trouble with it at all, as the surname is old and widespread. However, current strong influence of English can mess things up—people, including myself, use English pronunciation even in the context of a native language.
Call me paranoid, but I prefer not to have a gas line in my apartment, because it eliminates the risk of the whole place being blown up when a gas leak happens.

I also started with Java too, and hated it, though I never did J2EE stuff. But I'm honestly pretty impressed with Spring Framework now. Spring boot brings in the convention over configuration aspect, and spring data lets you specify repository interfaces and it will dynamically generate at runtime an implementation based on the type information and the method names.

All right, but if we take the standard definition of philosophy then your initial claim makes no sense.

The study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality and existence is unrelated to writing software.
Why do people do weird stuff like this when there is gobs of good ECC code for things like ed25519 and ECDSA with standard curves that is easy to use and just sitting on GitHub?

Implementating complex crypto correctly is hard but its really not that tough to use common constructions in a secure way. A few days of reading can tell you how to build a cryptosystem that is at least not total holey cheese.

Let's say yes. Can Amazon invent a better compression scheme that uses phonemes & UTF-8 text as a cue? Say, something that compactly expresses Neil Gaiman's voice, then just shows the text of Anansi Boys?
Their sounds and movements are just really funny to me. They can also have interesting personalities. On occasion, one or two will be fairly smart in a tactical way, too. (Goats are similar.) Our family had them at different times.

One thing I saw in action was the Pecking Order. The alphas were jerks to the younger and smaller ones. They'd even eat when they probably weren't hungry. Starving them. So, I enjoyed chasing them away or holding them while the others got to eat first. I'm sure their massive egos suffered a great deal watching that display. Haha.
