others say typestates, but Scala and Haskell have had IndexedStateT for the purpose of typelevel-state-machinery and it works really well with (somewhat lesser) boilerplate and semantics + FP. To me, it's particularly useful for anything resembling a protocol.

Signal based processing is Observables/reactive streams, which provide a sane interface to use.

This is (one of) the problem with new languages: library ecosystem access. It's why Scala/Clojure/Kotlin is one camp of languages and Zig/Rust is in another - both Java and C have a ton of great libraries written in them, with ones that add signals-first approaches via libraries.
Yea, learning more about all the crazy paranoid assholes in my neighborhood from their NextDoor postings would certainly give me pause in letting my kid play near them without my being ready to intervene.
> the US has more slaves now than it did at the peak of the slave trade

i find that highly implausible. Unless you're equating "wage" slavery to chattel slavery.
Can you expand on that? I'm not familiar with type annotations, but I use Go daily. Aside from interface{} abuses, how can something be more reliable than accepting a type in Go? (int64, string, []byte, myType{})

What he is saying is true for many, many people at Apple that worked from the mid 2000's onward.

If you read his post, said he was there 10 years ago in 2009. If you recall, this was during peak recession and at that time Apple was seemingly driven by a culture of ruthlessness that was probably a result of events earlier in the decade (before Steve Jobs came back, when the company was nearly insolvent). Apple was _cheap_ (and still is, in probably terribly shortsighted ways) and would take advantage of anyone and anything they could to save money. Depending on your department, this could mean low wages, no stock, no investment in tooling and equipment, whatever they could get away with.

I started working there in 2012 and worked with a good number of folks that had to put up with absolute hell before iPhone launch (which totally changed the company, for the better). I was really there to do was clean up tech debt bought on by poor planning and shoestring budgets. It seemed like most of the "old timers" were barely making livable silicon valley money and many had tails of Apple managers doing totally shady things like making promises of equity, only to have it denied later (and nothing was on paper). They still stuck around for god knows what reason. I stayed around until my initial equity grant ran out and moved on to greener pastures.

This is for the A-pillar, which is the windshield pillar in front of both the side- and rear-view mirrors, and in front of the driver. You can see that in the video.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_blind_spot#Effects_of_... shows "An accident caused in part by an A-pillar blind spot". The top image on the page shows another example of an A-pillar blind spot.

The blind spot you refer to is the rear quarter blind spot. Note the comment that one way to check it is "by turning one's head briefly (risking rear-end collisions)".
I think this is a very spot-on comment.

> QR code readers ... could have malicious codes for misrepresenting the URL in specific cases.

So could an HR code reader. It could just as well, when it scans a google.com HR code, prompt "do you want to go to google.com" and then open "phishing.free.hax"

That specific threat is ridiculous.

In addition, talk of exploiting strange looking QR codes seems silly too. HR code readers could also have bugs in their OCR code which would result in memory corruption or such.

Any type of encoding can have interpreting tools that contain security bugs or malicious behaviour. The only way to remove that is to create something that is not intended to be processed by any tools at all (e.g. a paper that users have to manually copy the text from by hand).
I disagree. The wearables market is still wide open IMO and there is still plenty of room to make a truly compelling product.
That's a fair answer, thanks.

(I also think that, given that answer, it's unsurprising that so many people have no interest in being professional. I agree it's worth considering the cost carefully, but it seems like a far easier conclusion than, say, rejecting capitalism, which is also understandably popular.)
There is no ambiguity. This example is invalid syntax.

Side projects, but away from the computer. There is a lot that can be done totally offline, things like design, art, logos, Gantt charts, and just general notes, planning and ideas can all be sketched out on paper. I like to indulge in this as it feels productive and I can do it in the sun with a notebook.

Google is overrun by the leftist mob. Initially management heavily encouraged it because it was easy to score few morale and PR points, but now its got out of control and turned out on them and they don’t know what to do.

> Giving kids the ability to assess risk accurately, and develop the skill to take that risk, is the important part.

Unless the playgrounds magically changed brain development so that kids got well-developed executive function much earlier than human children develop that under normal circumstances, there is no conceivable playground design that could do that.

And older playgrounds weren't, in any case, designed to do that, or with the risks built in intentionally for any particular purpose. They were built with less structured consideration of risk, which made the actual risks (and the obviousness of them, even to adults) essentially random.
The inconvenience of processing raw files is why I wrote my own software [0] to do the tonemapping to truly make a wide dynamic range scene look natural on a low dynamic range display.

Now I spend mere seconds processing each raw image, and they look way better than I can get with the default processing on a smartphone.

When you have the benefit of a large sensor, you don't actually need multishot HDR capture; even older cameras have plenty of dynamic range, as long as you expose properly.

Now if only there were a camera with a beefy processor that I could port my software to run on...

I took "intro to C++" as a freshman at my university. So 18 year's old. I started working with PHP at by buddy's start up shortly thereafter. I took a couple more classes. I minored in CS. I coded for fun and some small client projects while I worked in other industries for a decade. I then became a real, professional developer at around age 28.
to everybody worrying about "the data", what do you actually believe google could possibly learn about you through your fitness data?

as far as i can tell, the most valuable piece of data they could harvest through a fitbit acquisition is whether or not you're the type of person who uses a fitness tracker (and they already know whether or not you installed the fitbit app through the play store). It seems insane to me that they would pay 2.1B to feed your heart rate or step count into their ad-targeting algorithms - it's just not that valuable.
My memory is a little fuzzy, but I think Jackson was/is an XML serializer/deserializer that operates on POJOs (potentially with annotations). You define your data structures as Java objects, and Jackson converts them to XML for you. As opposed to other approaches where you define some schema in non-Java (maybe an XSD) and have your classes auto-generated for you.

Yeah, it wasn't great. I think people learned from that episode and made a mental note to not do that again, though.

Ultimately, the person in question had a large volume of publicly-available writing, so I'm not sure it changed anything. But it does leave a bad taste in one's mouth because looking back, it was such a trivial thing that he was known for. In the years to come, shit got a lot more serious.

Monotone should have been what we're all using :(

It has a much cleaner interface, easier to use, better formalism, code signing is built-in and required rather than tacked-on and optional, and insanely good documentation (I still sometimes recommend people to read the monotone docs as an introduction to git/DVCS).

It was also basically finished and stable when the BitKeeper drama happened. It was one of the few alternatives Linus looked at and publicly evaluated before writing git. But unfortunately, its performance was pretty poor for a project the size of Linux at the time, and a combination of human failings + the well architected abstractions which hid the underlying monotone data structures convinced Linus that it was less effort to write git than to fix monotone.

In a literal sense that was true since git was basically written in a weekend.. but more than a decade on we're still basically stuck with all the design short-cuts and short-falls of a weekend project. The world would be a better place if we used monotone instead :(

Edit: these days I'm more a fan of the formalism of darcs, and really looking forward to a stable pijul. But there is a soft spot in my heart for monotone, and more than once I've considered forking it to modernize with compact elliptic curve crypto instead of RSA and a faster non-relational database or filesystem backend instead of SQLite.
The company would have had to carry a reserve to refund everyone who ever bought the app (which is equal to their total revenue). Or the buying company would have cover that. Either way it'd be an impossible liability.
so far I've only had good or great experiences with stuff I've actually purchased based on their articles. I find the site is great for items where you don't care too much about the category but just want a decent example. I would never buy computer hardware based on a Wirecutter review, but I'll happily buy any kitchen equipment under $50 based on their review alone.

in my reading, most of the Wirecutter recommendations that turn out to be suboptimal suffer from flaws that only surface six months into ownership, far longer than you can reasonably expect a reviewer to test a cheap product.

the one truly dubious article I've read is the "best small saucepan" review where their top pick is a tramontina product. tramontina's line was getting rave reviews from all the cooking sites/communities a couple years ago, but it appears to have gone downhill since they recently switched manufacturers. the article was updated this year, but makes no mention of the current quality discussion...
That isn't practical. The PEP process is already exhausting and we aim to solicit feedback before the PEP is decided. By the time a beta is out, we're already in feature freeze and it is somewhat late in the game.
Nearly every time someone suggests against this it's not about issues in setting up the server or receiving emails. It's that many popular providers don't trust random IP addresses sending emails, especially those that 'look like' common spam (such as order invoices from common e-commerce sites like Woocommerce or Shopify).

From an inbox perspective these often look like cold outreach (you've never emailed this company before and the first email they send to you is after you order something) so it's suspicious, and being from a trusted platform helps pass the test.
I don't think making codes human-readable would help -- human-readable URLs are spoofable too.

For example, if you replace "tipme.com/some_bar" with "tipme.cz/some_bar", most people would have no idea the latter is the wrong URL; and even waiters/cleaners may not notice the change

It's called the Three Generation Rule, and it's no small part of why I've personally taken it upon myself to try to find a way to make sure any kids or friends I come in semi-regular contact have acquire appreciation for how current infrastructure was arrived at, and understand that none of it is a given.

Unfortunately, I'm not the most successful at it, because I'm pretty sure taking the time to collate all this information on the infrastructural pedigree of modern life in your head tends to come with a tendency toward hermitude.

Also coincidentally, hardly anyone seems to want to know about it.
While a BCP is indication that “nobody cares” is false, it’s pretty far from even a majority of people caring. If BCPs mattered, IP spoofing wouldn’t be an issue on the Internet.

In Python yes, but the post I responded to asked why they settled on a different assignment syntax for expressions.

It was to avoid that ambiguity (or error prone pattern, if you prefer) which is present in, say, C.

And it was clearly marked as being edited.

Should I be restricted from modifying products for my personal use? If not, what if I choose to pay someone to make the edits for me? If that's okay, what about purchasing an already edited version? If it's clearly marked as an edited version and I'm purchasing the original as well, I really don't see the problem with a value added product like this.

If I produce some content and people choose to edit it, I really don't care as long as they give me the proper credit (as in, they pay my retail price) and clearly indicate that changes have been made (as well as a list of changes). Something like "X by Y with modifications made by Z (detailed list of changes inside)", where X is the work, Y is the copyright holder, and Z is the retailer.

That's so bizarre! I remember hearing about mercurial & bazaar in 2005, was still using svn at work in 2006/2007. I don't think I knew about git until Ruby on Rails switched to it in 2008. Interestingly the switch happened at the same time Github launched.
I don't. I like to be able to transfer data from my PC to my phone via QR codes; print out QR codes pointing to the latest photo album and and give them to friends; finding QR links on "garage sale" signs (real thing that happened today).

Requiring signatures will likely kill those applications.

It just depends on the nature of the reporting - if you need intensive reporting from your directs, then yes, less is more - if your people work in relative isolation then more is more.
Ehh, I'm not so sure this analogy really holds.

1) That would make the previous 3rd generation before this current iteration (one cycle ago) the generation that experienced WW1 - they'd hardly be ignorant of the horrors of world war.

2) Boomers (your 2nd generation) went through Vietnam and the cold war, so I'm not sure they often felt like the UN was safeguarding them from, well, anything.

3) Boomers also seem to be indifferent and apathetic about climate change, so I'm not sure how that really fits into the narrative.

The most likely answer is that most people just feel indifferent about things that feel out of their control. Boomers likely didn't spend every waking minute about how close they were at several points to being ended by thermonuclear war.

Hell, even for the greatest generation (well, except for Murrow obviously) let McCarthy run rampant right after WW2 until he tried to go after the army.
This would be a big help. The process is simple. Download the beta, try-out the features, and let us know how they work out in real world code -- is it learnable or prone to misunderstanding, are the docs intelligible, does it solve the problem it was intended to solve, does it fit in with the rest of the ecosystem, etc.

APIs are really hard to change once released. Prior to release, we can fix just about anything.
That's a really silly argument.

"TypeScript is better because I'm required to run the transplier"

If you believe that type checking is necessary, you won't have problem running mypy.

Also TypeScript has a transplier, because there was no other option, browsers use JavaScript and don't understand TypeScript so the conversion is necessary. Maybe that won't be needed in the future, but it is needed now.
Fake accounts makes it sound like some “thing”. Just using a couple of different accounts for most any public-ish big service is pretty par for the course.

Not sure what “does someone use that approach” mean. I can just say Apple for sure does not do any sort of banning of any kind if you use a handful of accounts with one device.

There’s probably people in the sideloading and jailbreak community who have a dozen accounts linked to one device. I’ve never thought of it as anything more than just doing some simple relatively innocent thing to get around the 3 limit. No problems to the at this point probably dozen accounts I have.

One of the central principles of western democracy is that freedom of speech is a good thing and everyone should have the right to advocate for ideas even if they are bad. The opposite philosophy, which is fairly prevalent in many parts of the world, is that it is the role of the government and societal elites to control the flow of information so that bad ideas (as defined by the people in power, of course) don’t gain traction. It’s pretty hilarious that you are adopting the latter perspective and arguing for more government censorship to “defend democracy”. Are you sure you really understand democracy?
