Thank you, I also like these projects built with ttl. They sound slow but still enough to render a non-js/html4 web page I guess.

On that scenario we would become
Chromium developers, exactly my initial premise.
Personally I believe that this is the end state of socialized health care, and I'm afraid we'll see it implemented on a wide scale within the next 20 years. It'll likely start with a hate tax, which is already in affect in a handful of locations.

The only real question to me is which will be banned 'for the good of society' first: sugar, or meat? Meat has the extra argument going around of having an impact on the climate, and some studies say it can be bad for health. Sugar of course is bad for health in large quantities.
Yeah! Good to know. Did the chrome UI make us aware of that shortcut at some point?
Love this idea. My first thought is that calibrating mics could be difficult. I wonder how good existing decibel meter apps are
Likewise I had Netscape, Opera, IE on my development environment.
The elephant in the room is that the real way to tell whether that is the case would be to use race as a factor the same as age or sex. If African Americans are more careful drivers then that would detect it and take it into account.

But then you have to take the bad with the good. If it turns out that strict adherence to traffic laws that nobody else abides is actually more dangerous than following the normal flow of traffic, it would also detect that and take it into account.
"In addition to an ad ban, the ministry announced that sugary drinks would also be required to display a color-coded, front-of-pack nutrition label to list nutritional quality and sugar content."
I like Japanese/Taiwanese approach which list percentage of fruit juice (front-of-pack). And manufacturers can't cheat with substitutes like apple cause it doesn't count. This is way more useful for consumers to decide what they want. In countries like Malaysia I have no idea what i am buying (sugar water vs real fruit juice)
Their head probably would have exploded when they saw what the C# compiler did with tail recursive functions . :-D
I'm pretty sure we will notice the destructive effects of global warming long before we notice any cognitive decline from atmospheric CO2 levels.
If that’s the case the money can go back to a pool of resources like healthcare and whatnot IF it’s not privatized like the USA. Otherwise, it’s designed to line the pockets of investors, etc.
There are now more actors with nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them. Did you know that India has built two ssbns? (nuclear subs armed with balistic nuclear tipped missiles). North Korea has h bombs and ibcms, Pakistan has a bunch of fission bombs.

Worse who would disagree with the premise that the governance of nuclear armed states has deteriorated? China has a president for life, Russia wishes its president for life would live forever - because God alone knows what will crawl out and take over when putin goes (and if you think the Russians should be worried, the Germans should be hysterical about this but aren't which scares me much) and trump and brexit are bad signs too.

Also people seem to low ball the effect of a nuclear conflict or the media on a regular basis. Make no mistake, we are half an hour from 300m deaths. And that will be just the down payment.

edited - I meant to type fission but typed fussion.
A company is a partnership of individuals, on many dimensions, legal and otherwise.
I really like the notion of separating essential complexity from accidental complexity. You can make brilliant OOP with essential complexity.
Another thing I like is to hide accidental complexity as preferred convenience while exposing the API that would allow a power user a more fine grained control over that object's accidental complexity.

I also think OOP and FP is a false dichotomy as I use objects functionally every day. And it rocks.
.NET Core is yet to be embraced by most enterprises, everyone is waiting for .NET 5 to actually make the switch. Too much software is now making the transition into .NET Framework 7.x, to bother with half baked support from Core to many APIs like EF6, WCF and components from third party vendors.

From where I am standing, we don't care what Microsoft calls it this month, it is .NET.

I don't know, the Z80 data sheet I briefly skimmed doesn't even seem to mention that detail.
However if this technology can offer what was available in the 70s, and on their site they say it can be used for analog ICs too, it woud seem logic to use it to remake older obsolete chips (how many 6522 and SIDs were fried?), along with some newer versions of older analog chips.
The broad unsupervised internet vs the curated and filtered app store.

The user experience limited by the browser vs the user experience (less) limited by native platform APIs.
I'm very curious about lab grown meat how it'll change the balance of the arguments posed here.

Any chance, any of the readers here are researching on it actively?
All true. I guess the balance of power doesn’t support that, partly because:

1) there is no memetic equivalent of “sugar => calories => fat and ugly”, indeed rather the opposite because of its association with the Atkins diet.

2) farming is a job everyone seems to support even though it’s a small part of the economy, and meat is a cash crop (or am I misremembering?)

> The state knows best.

All true except that. We’ve all got our own examples, when I was at school the (UK) government’s poster-child for “drugs are bad” was a girl who actually overdosed on H2O, yet all the people who I should’ve been able to trust to be honest were blaming MDMA.
I really hope you take your "hackery" elsewhere.

North Korea tested a h bomb. You can be sure India has h bombs too, the common wisdom is that Pakistan doesn't. Yet. If Iran gets nukes expect Pakistan to upgrade at pace.
Eh, I bet you know a lot more people who don’t sell due to capital gains taxes than people who buy because of them. The early 2000s collapse had a lot going on.

I'm also in Europe now (Germany). If you haven't figured out by the end of the trial period that the person can't do their job, it's not he who's the problem.

It has also been my experience (20+ years) that sociopaths and egotists (the ones who will try to bullshit you beyond a few ham-fisted attempts) are in such a minority that they're not worth basing your interview process around.

The only cases of hiring engineers who couldn't code that I've ever heard of directly from colleagues over my entire career (that weren't third-hand re-tellings) have been where he either was not interviewed at all, was only interviewed by someone non-technical, or was hired by someone non-technical over the objections of someone technical.

TBH I think this is a manufactured problem.
Yet another genius move by the EU.

Food consumption is a leading cause of obesity so maybe all the food, beverages and restaurants ads should be banned.

I've standardized on Google Drive, which kind of works. Not good enough version control features for code though, which is why I still need git. Been kicking around the idea of moving to git only, but the learning curve is steep (impossible?) for non-programmers.
>>>By far one of the dirtiest major cities I’ve seen in East Asia.

Let China put it's people to work. They have lots to do.

Making products locally maintains a higher standard of living and can limit dependencies on others.

Not doing that takes a nations to largely service economy status and when that matures the standard of living declines, infrastructure development slows or stops, tax revenue goes down, and demand for new products gets tepid.

In short terms, the boost from cheap stuff is nice. As wages flatten, that cheap stuff becomes not so cheap and improving income more difficult.
What I always find darkly amusing is that the word "decimate" now means "absolute catastrophe", when the original Roman term only meant a 10% loss (eg, squads of 10 drew sticks, the one short stick was the victim).

But Buffet is clearly not talking about a 10% loss, in the event of a major nuclear engagement -- that would be a wildly optimistic read. We're clearly talking somewhere between 50% - 95% - total shutdown of equity markets.

Not saying anyone is using words wrong, just funny how language drifts.
Those with vast amounts of wealth never go to jail unless they step on the toes of someone else with a vast amount of wealth. It's how it's always been.

> My understanding is that most of the proliferation has been in atomic rather than hydrogen bombs.

I think it's actually the opposite. The US stockpile consists of mostly (entirely?) thermonuclear weapons. They're smaller for a given yield, and are therefore much easier to deliver. Most of them are also variable-yield, so you can still use a hydrogen bomb to make a smaller boom if that fits your strategic goals.

Edit: it looks like this is the case for the other superpowers as well. The only nuclear state for which this may not be the case is Pakistan, although it's possible that they have a boosted weapon of some sort.
Idiocracy, defined.
People being injured or killed harms other people. Especially in countries with some form of universal healthcare (i.e most of the developed world).
These are tied though. Climate change will displace populations and ramp up pressure on governments, making conflict more likely.
Why would food or drinks need advertisement? These are products that have literally infinite demand, nobody can live without them.
At least it’s just a lemma rather than a theorem :)
> Cleaning is someone else’s job.

Well... yeah if you're eating in a restaurant, then yes it literally is someone else's paid job to clean your table. That's what makes it a restaurant.

Do you also criticise people who go to a restaurant and expect someone else to cook their food?

Or people who get a taxi and then expect someone else to drive?
I expect actual control and ownership over those very creations I create.

On your iPad, point to where your latest video file is. Show me. Where is it? "On The Cloud"? On the iPad itself? Three clicks deep in some random purpose-specific app separate from the soundtrack file you want to integrate into the video? What about five years from now, can you still access that video however and whenever and wherever you please?
I've been wondering why none of the serverless providers have offered the ability to get better pricing if I let them control when my timed functions run. For example, I tell them that these functions are daily/monthly/whatever tasks and I don't care when they run as long as they run at least once during that time period. They can run my functions when server usage is low. They get better compute utilization and save money (hopefully passing some of those savings onto me).

blackout happens, while a utility has to inform for planner maintenance unplanned events are _always_ possible and people depending on electricity for their lives need to make sure they're prepared on a very short notice as a circuit breaker can trip anytime.

The problem is that people never properly understood which operations were supposed to go on objects, and they just started accumulating everything that was even loosely related. My favorite example is registering for university courses. So you have a Student object and a Course object... Which one does the register function go on?

Objects should only contain those methods which are required for the invariants of that object. A course registration function is a workflow that involves two types, but does not control their invariants, so it belongs on neither. Most business logic falls into this bucket, and that bucket really works best as a functional paradigm where one can freely recombine the logic to create new workflows.

(The worst answer I've seen is that both end up with a register method, with one just reversing the parameters. So Student.register(Course) just calls Course.register(Student).)
Skydiving medical costs are pretty small. But something with a big impact such as those new electric scooters get lawmakers to quickly act. Speed limits, restrictions on where they can drive, helmet requirement... all of it is being contemplated by regulators everywhere. Because they are widely used and pretty dangerous.
The concept of "food" doesn't need advertising.

Demand is not infinite. The demand is distributing among a wide range of available choices, advertising aims to change that distribution towards the advertisers products.

You might not care about the implementation for a single call that only hits the happy path, but as soon as you are making more than one call or having to deal with failures the implementation definitely matters. And I think that FP makes it easier to build composable abstractions on top of the underlying code.

While in theory composability and encapsulation are orthogonal concerns when using OOP, in practice (for at least Java and C#) I find that there's often tension between the two.

What is your go-to way to set up a productive environment for software engineering projects?
Checksums are also a pain for larger files. If a 4GB movie has a checksum, is the app supposed to read all the file in to calculate and validate the checksum prior to playing the movie? That’s inefficient.

It also doesn’t help programs dealing with bad data. Apps still must handle invalid files gracefully, even if the checksum is good. Otherwise, hackers can create malicious invalid files with correct checksums.

Checksums also make small edits to a file painful, since every program must now know how to update the checksums. Imagine if text files had checksums - how could you possibly do simple regex replacements, e.g. using ‘sed’?

Routing, grade separation, and signaling are things any train system must deal with. The lesson from CAHSR is that the California government was too incompetent to be able to handle something that many governments around the world handle just fine.

You are the only one here fighting hard to make the distinction between .NET Framework and .NET Core, as if that would matter to Fortune 500's.

They don't care for one second, we keep getting greenfield projects with deployment requests on top of 4.7.2. And brownfield projects still using 4.5.

For them even having the possibility to migrate to 4.8 would be a dream come true, let alone something like .NET Core.

So no matter what Microsoft wants to push, they have to keep these guys happy.
> On your iPad, point to where your latest video file is. Show me. Where is it?

Why do you care where the 'file' is? That's an implementation detail. I can copy the video to somewhere else any time I want. I do this all the time with photos and videos from my iPad. It's not the issue you're saying it is.
As an fyi, you can disable the onpaste event in the dev console. Obviously doesn't fix the actual problem but at least helps retyping your email...

To a computer science teacher, this feels like trying to walk up a down escalator.

First-year CS students (middle school or high school) with experience using Apple products don't have a concept of a filesystem. The shift to auto-saving documents also corrodes the intuition that files get stored on disk in some non-magical way. In the same way that it's now easier to teach networking and graph theory because youth experience identity and relationships this way, it's now a lot harder to teach lower-level abstractions. In my experience, this has changed over the last five years.

At the beginning it was literally just a disk with an HFS+ file system. You could drag files to and from it with the Finder. No reverse engineering necessary.

The U.S. already has plenty such laws without socialized healthcare: cigarette ads are banned, in some places you’re not allowed to sell sugary drinks that are too large etc. Drug prohibition is probably the most prominent example, but we’re seeing efforts to decriminalize those concurrent with efforts to socialize healthcare. I think your concerns are unfounded.
If we had technology that doesn't exist, we could have secure biometrics.

In practice the computer is just getting a picture, which is semi-public information, and that's why the only thing you can rely on is that it's an identifier. It's not enough to authenticate when you really need security, only in more casual situations.

In a fast food restaurant where there is a bin where customers are supposed to throw their trash then I’m assuming I’m actually not paying to have it done.

That is: there isn’t staff enough to handle it, and those that leave their tray just ensure that prices go up (since they are using a service they didn’t pay for).

I have never left a tray in a fast food restaurant in 40 years.

The UK has a similar "traffic light" system[0] on their foods. I cannot speak to everyone, but for me seeing red salt makes me look again at other options. It is a gentle nudge but helps.

By contrast US food labeling is an anti-pattern. "Serving size" seems arbitrary and makes it impossible to compare foods even directly next to one another on the shelf (plus they're intentionally unrealistic, like a single chocolate bar having two "servings").

Demand for food is not infinite (maybe the word you were looking for was inelastic?). And even if you don’t need ads to create demand for “food” that is a broad category with many competing products from many competing providers.
