"Metrically equivalent" just means they take up the same amount of space when typeset (i.e. if you take a document in Times New Roman and change the font to Liberation Serif, nothing should move around). As you can see in the case of Courier New v. Liberation Mono, the two fonts can be very different visually while still being metrically equivalent.

When a minor-point upgrade happens and it breaks backward-compatibility, there is something very wrong with the versioning or the major name of the software.

Either the major-version number should be changed (Python 31 to Python 32) or the project name should be changed (Python to Boa).

This is also a very common problem with GTK+ and some other major pieces of software.
I use a .io domain and I get why .com isn't sufficient, but I really fail to see the value that this, along with most of the other cute new tld's, bring to the world.

More than anything, I fear that it will teach my parents that domains can look like anything, so that link in the email is probably fine.
PixelSquid now has a subscription option. I think the issue with TurboSquid is that convenience is less important. Spotify is ok with giving people access to songs knowing that they can easily rip them and put them online because Spotify's experience is a lot better than just searching for ripped songs. With TurboSquid I think people would probably just turn around and sell the models online and then others could just pirate them. Maybe I'm wrong, though - I don't know a ton about the industry.

I’m a professional photographer, for whatever that’s worth. Mostly it’s relevant because I have a camera in my hands all day for most of the week. I’m not a gadget guy, I don’t need the latest and greatest, but when I pick up new gear I want it to do the thing and do it well and to not need to be replaced within a few years because it’s completely obsolete.

I picked up an iPhone 11 pro last week, upgrading from a 7. The camera really is great. What I keep thinking is that I’m finding it creepy. I’m not a luddite by any means, I’m all for innovation….I shoot with a Sony mirrorless camera as my main everyday, that felt to me like a massive change.

I think what gets to me is I don’t know exactly what the iPhone camera is doing. When I press the “shutter button,” what exactly is happening? How many shots is it taking? Is it shooting on all three lenses? Is it recording audio even when I have Live Photo turned off? If I think I’m intentionally leaving something I don’t want to record out of the frame, how can I be sure that one of the other lenses isn’t also recording and including it? I just don’t feel like I’m sure about any of it anymore, with all the processing I hear about it doing, layering multiple shots together, shooting outside the frame. The tech is cool and all and I’m not prone to paranoia, but I just keep wondering.

There are multiple kinds of depression, and because of that there is never going to be a one pill cure all, until we start studying different kinds of depression.

However with that being said, there is a correlation between some depression and stomach inflammation. For many emotional feelings are tied to the stomach. Something as small as a stomach ache can sometimes leave a person in a cruddy mood. I wonder if this is why anti-inflammatories help.

(On a more cheerful note, anti-inflammatories got spell checked to anti-flamethrowers on my computer.)

You opt in to first party telemetry by using gitlab. It is impossible for you not to send data to gitlab when using gitlab.

Self-host it if you don't want it. I dunno what to tell you; at some point, the company does have to observe how people use their product, and they'll do so a lot more effectively by looking at how most people are using it, rather than … idk, send a survey or something. Not that they won't do the latter anyway, nothing prevents them from doing that, but it's a very different type of data.

I'm a privacy nut by the way, and nothing in that field pisses me off more than people who vocally shit on telemetry. "I hate you, you should just GUESS what I want rather than do real work to figure it out" sort of thing.

What is it about telemetry you don't like, exactly? And I do say "telemetry" in general, because you're saying it sucks in general. So no specific examples like Windows 10's abhorrently overreaching telemetry, privacy invasions that look at PII, etc.

Telemetry generally is things like "97% of users have visited the issue tracker. 66% of projects with an issue tracker enabled have at least 1 issue. new issue rate on public repositories climbs by 15% if the new issue button is orange instead of green. users spend 30% more time on the new issue page if there's a new issue template. issues with a template have a commit/mr associated with them at a 8% higher rate than issues with empty templates".

By choosing to die on this hill, you're taking both good-will and attention away from much more severe issues of telemetry abuse, such as "let's collect the precise geoloc of all our users in our gay dating app at 5 minute intervals, store it for 3 years and not care one ounce about security".
I had the same experience; that's mostly what I'm referencing. Trying to use things like The Hacker's Dictionary (largely in-jokes, bad jargon, and obnoxious circular definitions) to clear it up made the problem worse. I get that it's just a humor book, but still.

That assumes that you edit XML all day long. This is not always the case.

I am writing non-XML code most of the day, and I do not have structured editing / auto braces enabled. So when I need to edit that one XML config, I'll open it in my regular editor, which will provide at most syntax highlight, and edit it as needed with a bit of swearing. And next time, I would promise myself I'd choose a different config format which does not need special editors.
A bit tangential - I've been messing around with vuejs and Django recently (I'm not a web developer in the slightest) and I haven't found a decent way to get webpack integrated. So I can't use SFC or cli and I wonder how people do this in the real world. Do people even use vue with Django?
How about when Zune Pass shut down and obliterated the music collections of people who spent hundreds of dollars in subscription fees? Or when Google bought Revolv, shut down its servers, and turned thousanda of home automation systems into expensive paperweights?

To me every new service feels like another leech sucking at my wallet, of which there are far too many. I much prefer the collections of flacs and mp3s to Spotify and my personal media archive to having a dozen different streaming video subscriptions.
I still have climber friends that dumpster dive for basically all their groceries. Yes they still have (seasonal) jobs, but they save every last penny using such antics so they can climb / recreate more.

So no, I don't think it is played out at all.
This concern seems bizarre. Essentially every song is on Spotify (unless it's very small in which case it's on soundcloud or something). This isn't a unique property either - Apple Music replicates it and YouTube/vevo come close. There's good reason to believe that streaming services, or something equivalent/better will continue to exist and I will continue to be able to get the songs I want. When I listen to a song my primary concern isn't about being able to share it with my children's children or whatever. I'll probably forget about it by next year. How often do you dig up songs you listened to 20 years ago?
From 2014 to Feb 2019 (during which I think a lot of the hacking occurred) it was 100% owned by the American company Francisco Partners.
Not having to do the hard work of making a usable tax filing system and providing phone support for users. Tax filing might be a 10x harder problem than health insurance signup, and healthcare.gov left a bad odor all around Washington.

A good theory for government is to always do the minimum -- do only the part that can only be done by the government and let private companies compete to do everything else. The IRS is doing roughly this, by providing the e-filing API. The surprising thing is that TurboTax has so few competitors.

> That’s all there is in [the] world.

That seems like a blanket assertion. It certainly seems like the most "manageable" mode of operating, but looking back at human history it seems like the "big breakthroughs" rarely happened that way.

The model of scientific research as harvesting the tail events (low probability & massive payoff) seems quite incompatible with what you've said.

That said, you probably think the way you do because of your experiences. Can you articulate that better?

> Research results should show up at a predictable regular pace, or else the result of that effort should be better & deeper explanation of a negative result which is also valuable.

To make a slightly more provocative claim, I think that this fetish for predictable/steady research progress is one of the primary causes of the problem discussed in the article. While papers can be generated steadily, piling on details doesn't necessarily make insight. (To quote Alan Kay: "A change of perspective is worth 80 IQ points")

I suppose your theory of government is great if the thought of companies like Intuit gouging private citizens to the tune of billion$ a year until the end of time gives you warm fuzzies.

Sure... I'm no expert. But "NSO" is CLEARLY not enough context for readers...full stop.
it's interesting that you've applied nuance to the nation based example, but not the company one.

What? Some of these assertions are so wrong I don't even know where to begin correcting them.

… evil? I'd prefer a "def __main__" myself but… evil?

they are not

> there doesn't seem to be a built-in inclusive range iterator

there is, it's called range().

> there doesn't seem to be a standard format for docstrings

there is.

> you can't use minus signs in identifiers

you syntactically can't, but given your other assertions, this isn't even sort of controversial.

If malforming is regular (like someone printf’d or typed in bad xmls), then the same is true for any human-readable format, since you know data and what it should look like. If not, (like in randomly broken packet), then you solve the problem at the wrong level. By-hand error-correcting verbosity is hardly a selling point of the application level protocol.
> Mercurial indeed lacks a staging area

I'm sure someone will dispute that it is the same as the staging area, but mercurial does have the ability to only include some things in commits, and I use it daily. I admit I have no idea how it works on the command line, but in tortoisehg I can select individual files and hunks thereof to add to a commit (screenshot: https://imgur.com/ErPEjSN).

It's my impression that loads of people use this feature and somehow don't notice it exists, and will openly agree that mercurial lacks a staging area. My opinion is that defaulting to including changes from all files previously committed is such a sensible default that it makes the feature so seamless that people forget it exists even whilst using it.

Kinda like how people from the US think you can't turn left on red in Australia (equivalent of right on red in the US). You can, but the existence of slip lanes everywhere its allowed mean you don't actually face the red light when doing so. This hides it so effectively that I've seen several people complaining that they can't turn on red, not noticing that they do it every day.

I haven't used hg enough to have an opinion on it, despite several attempts... Problem is I learn bottom up, and I just haven't been able to "think in mercurial" the way I can "think in git".

I find it interesting that what git calls a commit is actually a revision (or checkpoint, snapshot, point-in-time) and what mercurial calls a revision is actually a commit (or patch, delta, changeset).

I think a lot of people think in terms of patches/changesets and I suspect (still haven't gotten far enough to confirm) hg is a toolbox for managing them in a similar way to how git is a toolbox for manipulating its snapshot based DAG.
True, just disabling it via PackageInstaller by default would do the trick, the root community could re-enable it easily and those who only needed to sideload the occasional app could do so via USB debugging.
