This asshole? Without "this asshole" the world would look vastly different today. This guy isn't even an asshole as far as I can see.

It is a false dichotomy, you are pretending that defending the injustice done to Stallman somehow takes away focus from other injustices which is not at all apparent.

The community cares so much about him because he has done significant amounts for the good of humanity. Some people blown up by a drone strike aren't known at all by the community and haven't proven themselves to be invaluable. It's the same reason that you would be sad when a person close to you dies and yet you don't feel the same way when some African kid starves.

People indeed get fired for smaller infractions but those people haven't even closely created as much value as Stallman.

You're right about Lisp features, but CLJS macros are kind of bad at the moment. I have a fairly simple macro that works just fine in Clojure but does not compile in ClojureScript and I can't figure out why. It's probably a side-effect of how macros are handled in CLJS (they're part of a different compilation stage and must be written in CLJ or CLJC, hence :require-macros instead of just :require).

If you're looking for an ML, check out ReasonML. It's really quite good, its output is quite good (and hotfix friendly), and its type system is far better than TypeScript's will ever be. Mostly because TS wants to stay close to JS. Too close, in my opinion.

Dread it, run from it, complexity still arrives.
The article is from 2008. Multicore was still pretty novel at the time.

The Core2 Quad series released early 2007. I'm not 100% that was the first Intel consumer quad chip (memory is pretty fuzzy by now) but it was close.
From experience building more complex apps in Svelte, I can say that this has not been my experience, & doesn't accurately depict React in practice. Three aspects that make it really killer – a really great story for handling app & component state cleanly regardless of complexity, a great style scoping story, and powerful transition / animation primitives that fit neatly into the idiom – has made it easier to build large data apps than I've found with React (which I also use).

Another aspect I have really appreciated is that I have substantially fewer dependencies, since there is more included in Svelte than in React. I tend to only use d3 utility functions (format, scales, etc.) & immer (which I pair with svelte stores to get something kind of Redux-y, which is great for other devs jumping into Svelte from React-land). Fewer dependencies means I'm less likely to encounter awful dependency hell.

Generally, I feel like every time I see a Svelte thread here, there's a lot of random noise, but it's good to listen to the folks who actually use it. There are situations where it makes sense, and situations where it probably doesn't. The main reason why I might not use it is ecosystem friction – a lot of devs I know would prefer to just use what they know, even if it is painful relative to Svelte & friends.
> I'd say the same thing about journalists. 90%+ of journalists are democrats. (Overwhelmingly, white and male democrats.)

> For example, 32% of Democrats are "extremely proud to be an American" versus 74% of Republicans

Disregarding for a moment that this is a super weird question to use as a barometer, this is not sound statistical reasoning. Journalists make up a very small, and very biased (in the statistical sense), cross section of the democratic party. Therefore, their answers to a given question won't move the overall answers very much.

It is like observing that 99%+ of iPhones are sometimes used to browse the web, and that a majority of web-browsing devices run Google Chrome. You can't infer from this that a majority of iPhones run Chrome (or, at least, not very strongly).

The people who talk about reducing government are the same types who enjoy the status quo and don’t want wealth redistribution even though this nation, unlike Germany, has still yet to pay reparations for its greatest sins.

Your comment above is quite rare and I agree we must find a middle ground where we can distrust government but still empower it enough to resolve what is best for the nation. The status quo is not what is best for the nation and we should empower conservatives to think bigger than they have been. Maybe conservatives don’t need to dismantle government like an anarchist. Perhaps they could be augmenting it so it can be conserved and saved from revolution.
I think I may not be clearly explaining my key concern, which is the inherent peril of this type of policing.

Your DNA and mine are basically everywhere we go, and many places we've never been due to transfer. Forensic DNA tests can now easily identify these traces of you from places you have never been. Commercial DNA databases now allow police to target people who weren't previously identified as suspects by conventional means. The combination of the two can and has led to innocent people being swept up in the grinding gears of the justice system.

There is little to no oversight, and courts/juries aren't aware of this problem. This issue also creates perverse incentives within the system that will allow bad cops and prosecutors to pin crimes on people they don't like, and use DNA databases to back into the appearance of scientific evidence. There is immense moral hazard here.

It's much easier to define unprocesesd, definitely, but what concerns me is that processed food in general doesn't seem to be the issue. There are cuisines which have depended very heavily on processed foods for centuries, and yet the obesity question is new within the last 100 years. In particular, bread, cheese, cured meats, and pickled anything are all clearly processed. And yet historically Norwegians haven't ended up with obesity than temperate cultures eating things like unprocessed rice and fresh fish, or minimally-processed corn tortillas.

Perhaps this will just come down to modern diets having a higher percentage of processed foods and more calorie availability. Even in Norway in the winter, potatoes and some fresh game would be part of the diet. And on a ship or snowbound wheat farm with only processed food available, food might be scarce enough that people weren't freely eating to satiation.

But even wealthy urbanites with plentiful access to processed calories don't seem to have become obese with the consistency of modern people, and this study and theory aren't endorsing a raw or paleo diet. Bread, yogurt, and even pasta and butter are technically processed foods. Canned ravioli and store-bought cake are being contrasted with their home-made counterparts. And I suspect that's correct: even if a raw/paleo diet turns out to be best, 20th century ultraprocessed foods have caused new problems not seen with earlier processing. That means there's another definition worth asking about.

If the "mixed signals" theory is right, there won't be a single culprit. Sugar alcohols are pleasant and create anticipation, but don't follow through with energy. Low-fat yogurts don't trip fat-based satiation fully, and yet substituted sugar is higher-calorie per bite than fat. Perhaps the rule we'll find that degree of processing doesn't matter, but any food 'impersonating' something else is a risk for overeating.

Regardless, I'd like to know what aspect of "industrial" food is causing different outcomes than merely non-natural foods.
AoA Disagree was supposed to be turned on on all 737 MAXs, but it depended on AoA indication, which was an option. This was a mistake Boeing admitted to and has since corrected.

Options are not all tied to fees, the process of ordering an airplane is quite complicated because of the immense amount of customization each airline does before they even pay for the aircraft. Its unclear how much this option cost, if it cost anything.

The reason why AoA indication is an option is that it requires more advanced training for the pilots, some airlines provide this training and some do not. The airlines are the ultimate decider on how much training pilots will get, Boeing and the FAA can only set minimums.

>Boeing assumed that pilots could be relied upon to recover from a MCAS induced runaway trim.

The incidents of MCAS errors with US pilots who reported it to the FAA did result in recovery. But later cases did result in tragic accidents.

But when you make that statement, I don't think you're really imagining what it would be like to be on a plane like that. The above infographic shows what it is like. The plane was operating in an erratic manner.

I don't design planes, but does Boeing at least have a system that detects whether or not pilots are resisting against the controls?
I'd recommend against falling into some mode of cargo cult thinking on this one. A key part of whether self serve is going to work is to look at how fragmented the requirements and use cases are across different customers. In many cases, there will be a good amount of domain customization, which invariably makes it difficult to go into self serve. Most of the examples provided are around utility/productivity apps which all tend to have very similar requirements across a large customer base..

What I am meaning is the input to the transistor on a chip is highly volatile, so the aproxmation of its power consumption using infinite or long periods of time of a single value is misleading.

If a transistor is only reciving 5v than it is fair to say the power consumed is equal.

But realisticly the input could change every clock cycle and we would see the cases vary.

The reason I only integrate to tao was to show if the input switches before t=infinity then a diffrence between cases clearly manifest. But as you say, when it does not switch for time t>>tao the diffrence is small.
I'm pretty sure you were just trying to showcase the stresses, but your last example is in iambic tetrameter, not pentameter. Which is another frequent source of confusion.

For some reason, the fact that "penta" stands for "five" (like the Pentagon!) seems to get lost in a lot of these discussions. They must be teaching poetry these days without explaining the Greek/Latin origin of the terms they use.

Word roots are fascinating. Epics were written in dactylic hexameter. Dactyls mean fingers. You know, as in pterodactyls. They're called pterodactyls because their wings (ptero-) were supported by their long fingers. A dactyl has three syllables, DA-da-da, just like the sections of your fingers.
> As an aside, the 2019 SO survey shows Clojure programmers are the best paid [1].

I am freelancing for Clojure projects for already 6 years and have to say it is true you can expect better compensation in general, but this is only given

1) You are an experienced coder overall, e.g. I am 18 years in dev, and Clojure is seen as a logical high level experience conclusion

2) You can find good existing Clojure project, which is damn hard, and the line of Clojure coders for openings is usually pretty long. And many businesses are expecting to find young coders who can be.. not so well paid. The latter is a very bad approach for Clojure projects (Sorry, young guys, I have seen tons of Clojure code by many people, and it only looks good when the coder is at least 30+)

3) You can find good greenfield tech agnostic project, where your sell point is, again, your overall experience first, Clojure second

But at the end, that all keeps you very fit in many dimensions, and I am not going to give up Clojure, instead investing more

The way Google does it seems fine to me. You have to explicitly unlock the bootloader, which wipes all the data. As an extra, if you want to use the phone after wiping, you need to have the auth of the last user (to avoid reselling of stolen phones). Once you unlock the bootloader, you can do whatever, but the phone explicitly shows that it's unlocked on boot so you know that you know your bootloader is no longer safe.

These seem like a fair compromise.

Just because it us an incompetent greed move, dors not mean it wasn't a greed move.

They lost big thus time, but they were winning big, with more orders than they could make.

When Boeing mgt declared that they 'no longer needed [to spend money on] senior engineers because these are mature products', and successfully pushed for the same type rating for a plane with deadly different handling characteristics (to save money on pilot training), both were explicit greed moves.

And yes, irresponsible managers who ignored the reality of physics and put their profits over the safety of passengers should go to jail for their criminally bad decisions.

Exactly. Words like "creepy" (and "beautiful" for that matter) are not inherent attributes of a person. They are labels applied by the recipient of some action after the fact, based entirely on the recipient's thoughts and emotions. So, something I do can be interpreted as creepy by one person but totally fine by another. Does that automatically make me creepy? Someone, somewhere might find me to be good looking (I can only imagine). Does that automatically make me an inherently good looking person?

That is true in the US, but not to the same extent in all countries. In some respects Google is more centralized than national governments. It’s possible to have a future where it’s easier to move countries than to avoid Google completely.

Incompetence and greed aren’t mutually exclusive.

If you take the word of all of the good engineers who were pushed out or quit in frustration over the financialization of the company after the McDonnall Douglas merger, then “omg greed” really does explain everything.

Note that this could have been (and was) predicted by anyone with half a brain:

> Attitudes that are part of the "mainstream right" in much of Europe would get you labeled a white supremacist in the U.S.

That’s because Europe has a different historical and political context than the US though? Many of those policies would be correctly described as white supremacist if advocated for within the US context because the US is historically a white supremacist country and has organized much of its politics along those lines. In Europe, they would probably be understood as “fascistic” because, as you’ve correctly identified, many of their advocates descend from this ideology and its history on the continent.

> On the economic front, U.S. Democrats are to the left of the European

Historically, Democrats have supported charter schools, privatization, and kept in place corporate tax cuts passed by Republicans, so I’m not sure this bears scrutiny. While there is an emergent left flank of the Democratic party, it is deeply at odds with the party elite, their institutions, apparatuses, and is stymied by them at most turns.
