You could instead interpret it as C++ and Rust (minus the C like parts) have disadvantages. Swift performed some compiler heroics to keep the advantages while still having similar features to them.
Johnny Cash recorded a song that's relevant. Wikipedia has a lengthy entry full of unisex names from around the world. Surely, someone, somewhere in the world makes up a new name every day. Based on a person's name alone, there's no way to assign a salutation with unattended automation without substantial and sustained effort and still not eventually fail in a potentially easily embarassing way. Much easier and safer to provide a field for users to fill in their own desired salutation. Bonus points if it's a text entry field instead of a dropdown list, for the same reasons that #24 through #29 are listed in the parent article.
Prescriptionists gonna prescribe.

In vernacular speech, "have" is just contracted left and right; I can actually remember when I realized "'ve" was different from "of", and it wasn't "should of, could of, would of" but "should've, could've, would've".

"That better've not been my cupcake you ate."

"Do you think you should maybe've put your name on it?"
Well there was a guy in the UK who set up a premium number after getting sick of cold sales calls. All companies get his 10p/minute number as contact (he gets 7p of that). Only friends and family get the real underlying number.

It's a great example of a drug that absolutely should be prescription. But I'd you don't get the terrible side effects, and it helps you to quit, it's definitely worth taking it health-wise.
The denatured alcohol during prohibition was a government attempt to prevent people from drinking. This was manufacturers allegedly (the reason isn't clear) cutting THC with something that's safe for ingestion, but not inhalation.

The motivations are completely different.

Nonfaculty staff push for action at the expense of free inquiry
You could look at being in a relationship and making that decision as an achievement. Although most of the reason for congratulating the couple is to show support. Otherwise you’re just being opinionated about how much effort is deserving of being worthwhile. Which is fine as long as you accept people’s reactions.

Like you could decide nothing short of an Olympic record is worth congratulating but this is pretty obviously very socially inept.

Edit: Basically on aggregate there is nothing special about it but it’s important to the people involved and how plussed or non-plussed you feel about it should relate to your relationship with them rather than how impressed you are personally about it.
The economics are bad. Imagine the unit cost is $10 million. This seems realistic, the prototype cost ~$30 million and this airship is made of 40,000 pounds of light weight materials with very manual assembly processes. The cost of capital and depreciation might be $1 million/year. If the cruise speed is maybe 70 MPH, even if electricity and maintenance were free, this will $1.60 per mile. A container ship will be about $.01 per mile in similar cost.

Then looking at energy consumption, a container ship might need 8 HP of power per 40 foot container sailing at 18 mph. This airship has 700 HP per container at 70 mph.
Any articles or data on the statement about them not wanting to own vaping products? I recently read PMIs and BATs quarterly reports (and last years reports as well) and they're both talking up their novel products as a new source of growth as they're getting hammered on traditional tobacco. I mean I'm sure they'd like the world to just stop taxing/regulating cigarettes and everyone forget that it kills you and stay in that business forever but that just doesn't seem like a market reality

Yes, I'd agree it is worse, more concentrated and I would think the candy-like flavors in use would probably make the liquid much more desirable to kids to drink.
I'd be happy with at least providing the actual source name and number, in addition to the CNAM. CNAM must still be associated with the same source account (and ideally enforced, somehow).

Best of both worlds.

It sounds like all you really need to handle names reliably is to ask for the entire name in one field, then have another field for their preferred name (which could be the first name, or the middle name, and a diminutive). And if you need to do something more formal with a title (like Mrs Lastname), potentially have that as a third field.

Sometimes the dumb solution is better than trying to be clever, and it saves some trouble with localisation.

The problem is enforcement. Sorry, technological solutions are not workable - there's always going to be a way to get through because there's nearly no risk of enforcement, which is where the work should concentrate. The thing is that the only reason why robocalls work is because there's a nexus before the phantom callers and real businesses buying those services and those businesses have records because they are paying money. So start chasing those records using existing playbook:

Hire law firms that specialize in collecting fines. They will go through reams of paperwork and paper trails and eventually have a sheriff show up at a Thanksgiving dinner of a whoever owns the companies, after their corporate shields will be pierced, taking away chairs, pans, fridge and a turkey fryer.

When that starts happening robocalls will very quickly.
And a method to verify the identity of the person actually doing the driving at the time.
My wife and I have been talking a lot about giving license to make mistakes and that means letting others do what they're going to do without mocking them for it. Be ready to help them with the "right" way if they fail but also for a pleasant surprise if it works out. As a lead at work, I often hear solutions I doubt will pan out and sometimes I can't help myself correct things. But this "fixing" is actually creating long-term problems and undermining responsibility and ownership.

Anyway, this is what I thought of about halfway through the article when it veered off into contemporary politics.
If I need a phone number (and a phone), I go to T-Mobile, sign up with my credit card and get a phone number. Whoever is giving me this phone number, I think, should be held responsible if I'm doing stupid calls.

The companies issuing the ability to robo-callers to do their work are enabling robo-callers to do their work (scams).

Last time I tried to trace down a call, I stopped at a company called OnVoy and got distracted with other issues...

Aaron commenting on his own interview: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/interview2
No link, but I got a personal anecdote.

I found a persistent XSS vulnerability on steamcommunity.com once upon a time. It used to be if you were playing a mod, the name of the mod could be shown in activity graphs and screenshot views. This was not sanitized whatsoever.

After 4 weeks of no response from their official email contact, I posted it on the (then entirely detached vBulletin based) Steam forums, with a notice I had disclosed the issue to all known to me @valvesoftware.com email addresses (including security@, which didn't bounce)

I had my account disabled, and spent 3 weeks emailing them asking what the fuck that was all about. It got re-enabled silently.

The few commonly believed falsehoods which are missing in this list at the moment of me loading the page with it:

n. Names can be included in any sentence in the same form as user entered them.

For example any language like Russian where names decline breaks it.

n+1. Names are grammatically nouns

In Russian last names and patronimic/matronimic names are usually adjectives

n+2. Any person's name can be disclosed to people who know them by their other name.

For example if some LGBTQIA person has homo/bi/trans+-phobic relatives they financially depend on then such disclosure can be a catastrophic outing.
Sorry I wasn't arguing chantix didn't require a prescription, only the rule "all quitting aids are prescribed" wasn't true.

I also don't understand why if something helps you quit smoking we should make it less available? If it help people quit smoking we should make it more available, and if it doesn't then make it less.

The UK royal academy of physicians and equivalent of nih think vaping probably has 5% of the risks of smoking. That means to break even we would need ~20 new vapers for every smoker who switches to vaping. And I don't think there is any way to look at the data and conclude there are 20 times as many new vapers as smokers who switched.
I have a question, why are robocalls such a problem in the U.S.A.? As far as I know, they aren’t in Germany (or if they are, not on that level, I never got one).
For a large part of the population, losing their email account could be devastating. "Could" is deliberate, because once you lose it you wouldn't even know whether anything important landed in your inbox. Like a personal update from a friend, or some official business you need to respond to within days. Can you imagine trying to remember every single friend, business and government agency which might conceivably contact you, and figuring out how to contact each of them to let them know of your new email, plus getting them to re-send anything since you were blocked? It could put a wrench into someone's life for days or weeks.
There's a great video highlighting irregularities in AlphaStar MMR calculations and Blizzard matchmaking, notably, Alphastar, playing protoss, on average played with people 700 MMR below and victories for much weaker enemies gave unexpectedly huge boost to calculared MMR. When only matched with >6000MMR players, alphastar final had 6 win and 15 losses.

There is a problem with MMR calculation used for alphastar. More specific, there is matchmaking problem when alphastar did not get matched against equal-MMR and most of his protos games were against much lower-MMR players, skewing the data for MMR calculations.

The example given in video: you won 10 times against 5100, you lost against 7200. The calculated MMR would probably be around 6300. The problem is you wont be matched like this in real game. When matched mostly against the weaker enemies, MMR calculations have a lot of uncertainty.

The video, unfortunately in russian https://youtu.be/mpAUufSzaUo?t=1323

I am married and I agree with the OP. I don't see it as a huge achievement and people who do are the ones who, in my experience, like to spend spend way too much (IMO) on a wedding. But we're proving his point really by discussing it!
It would be nice to have something like a fusion of conda and apt to work right out of the box on distros like Ubuntu. Like an "apt install --user". I don't understand why we need root rights to install programs that will not need root rights to run anyway. Seems like a huge and obvious oversight to me. I guess it's not a big pain point because in most cases people use their own machines and have root access. Not always the case though in companies or university labs for example.
Excuse me.

This idea that Chinese and Indians would be living in mud hut level poverty without blessing from the American capitalist class is an feel good manufactured narrative.

India has very little integration to global supply chains, they famously followed a consumption lead growth model - "We feed our people before others".

China duped the American capitalist class using the carrot of profits.

They could have easily bought the technology and know how from Europeans, but couldn't believe their luck when they found out how easy it was to make Washington sell it's industrial base.

You are free to reindustrialize at paying 45 dollars / hour to assembly line workers.

Interesting. In the wikipedia page it has a word I didn't know, synæstesis, and it has the interesting and rarely seen by me combined ae symbol. The internet told me this word is basically https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia. Having a sensation in one form gives rise to a sensation in another sense (seeing a number makes me think of a color associated with it). Exposure to art and ideas like this makes life so rich, love hacker news.
My phone can, but spoofing obviously circumvents that.
Hmm, I think the other countries in the Americas have been pretty successful at integrating immigrants as well. The prosperous ones also offer opportunities for those immigrants. I think being the largest economy and being so influential is more unique among other nations.
I agree. The advice is sound. I wasn't taking issue with the advice, only with the premise that society as a whole has adopted the standard "You can be an asshole, as long as you're right."

Maybe, phrasing it more positively, I would add to the advice. (1) Try not to be an asshole, as you're winning an argument. (2) Don't try to win an argument by demonstrating that your opponent is an asshole.

Some people tend to foget about (1). Others tend to forget about (2).
In the US at least, it's public information. The ticket is usually a civil infraction that results in a legal judgement against you.

They broke most federated auth scenarios with ITP, so there needs to be a way for auth to flow between websites in a way that allows users to consent and control it. The logged in API basically takes your auth state (to a first estimate) out of the 3rd party cookies and into the browser. The browser then understands when to reinject them. Ad networks lose tracking via 3p cookies, but you stay logged in to your accounts.
It does seem to me moving in that direction - not at the type level but at the member level.

Property wrappers already allow some interesting possibilities with customizing the storage and usage of particular member variables, and there was a thread today about exposing the memory locations of reference type members, which would unlock a lot of optimization opportunities:

https://forums.swift.org/t/pitch-exposing-the-memory-locatio...

I'm not sure whether swift can ever really get there with respect to performance, given the foundational decisions regarding ARC and copy-on-write. But I would love a language with Swift's type system and sensibilities and a bit more control over how memory is handled.
The number of systems failing the "L'Oréal test" is staggering. (This one tests multiple assumptions: nonalphabetic names, nonascii names, capitalization. We have encountered a particularly unexpected name+address a long time ago, and the name kinda stuck ;))

I like the idea, but it doesn't solve the problem of when your real number makes it onto call lists.

But I do like the idea of giving out a 1-900 number to people. It would certainly get some interesting reactions, depending on context.

I've always been curious how much of this happens through companies like Twilio. Are there any numbers / studies out there that dig into it?
Even that wouldn't be necessary. Here's an idea – when receiving a call, the receiving network could separately connect to the claimed number and verify its authenticity. No match? Reject the caller. The owner of a number (and thus its cryptographic identity) could then delegate other agents to use its keys, its phone number, and most importantly, its reputation. Cryptography has come a long way since the days of rotary phones. The entire handshake could happen in under a second. The majority of calls these days are VoIP anyway. In fact, maybe we only implement this for VoIP and finally force the world to upgrade.

I remember the days before HTTPS was widespread. I watched as Google and other players systematically adjusted incentives, slowly but surely over many years, to reach where we are today: 90% of all web traffic is encrypted.[1] There's no reason the same couldn't happen with phone calls, other than perverse incentives.

Someone get me in a room with Ajit Pai and the CTOs of the major US carriers, I could have a system in place in five years, tops. Unfortunately there's no incentive for them to fix this, because (1) upgrading infrastructure costs money, and (2) carriers large and small are making BANK off these robocalls. ITSPs do typically charge to route calls (similar to internet peering), and robocallers are happy to pay because they're making so much money.

Ford had a good thing going with the Taurus branding (my parents bought three of them over the years), but then for some inexplicable reason they killed it off and went with the 500 or whatever. My parents no longer drive Fords; their default choice was taken from them.

For some reason it's only the muscle car brands that get any respect from their manufacturers in the US; you won't see the Mustang, Charger, Challenger, or Corvette being renamed any time soon.

You don’t say congratulations to newlyweds because they overcame adversity and conquered something, you say congratulations to newlyweds because that’s the customary way of communicating to them that you are happy for them. Like so many things, it’s not literal. It’d be like refusing to say “I’m sorry for your loss” when a friend’s parent dies, and then making a point of explaining to them that the reason you’re not going to say that to them is because you didn’t personally kill their parent therefore you have nothing to apologize for.
The precedent of the Microsoft IE anti-trust case basically refutes your core arguments. It's not about Apple being a literal monopoly, it's about Apple holding a dominate position from which they make abusive anti competitive and anti consumer decisions which are propagated to the rest of the market. App developers are going to look at iOS market's dominate revenue stream and decided that if they are to maximize their potential profitability as per their likely fiduciary duty they will need to follow Apple's whims.

I'm a "less fortunate, mistaken, and afraid" immigrant living in Canada.

It would feel so refreshing to get the truth straight sometimes, instead of the oh-so-subtle and gentle ways Canadians have of dealing with clashing cultural behaviours.

The end result is I don't know what I'm doing wrong until years later, because so many think the right thing to do is coddle me.

Many of us want to adapt, and if we don't have access to the ground truth, it's a painfully slow process that is simply holding us back from fully integrating into society.

Canadians: I love you guys, but please give it to us straight.
