Not to mention that if you can come up with the cash, a quarter is far less expensive than buying beef at the supermarket. Last time I did it (2 years ago?), it came to under $3.00/lb total (farmer's price + butcher shop) for about 200 lbs of beef.

There's a natural incentive for a couple families to band together and buy a whole or half beef.

IANAL but yes, distribution is distribution. If one distributes GPLed code, one is subject to GPL terms towards whoever received such software.

I guess the exception would be malice or misrepresentation, e.g. faking you are a customer in order to download the firmware, or hacking servers and grabbing stuff. In that case the vendor is not wilfully distributing, and hence not subject to GPL terms.

In the case of extracting firmware, though, one might run afoul of anti-reverse-engineering provisions in laws like DMCA.

Right- the current state of affairs serves the top-tier MBA programs, their graduates, and management consulting/ banking/ PE firms very well for the time being.

Top-tier MBA progams' whole pitch is about how getting in to these elite institutions confers massive benefits to the rest of your career- they certainly have no incentive to change any of this. The employing firms get a veneer of shiny "elite" frosting over their staffs (and they're mostly selling the abilities of their staffs)- the current systems serves them very well too. Being egalitarian would have some feel-good optics (maybe), but isn't in the interest of any of these entities.

These old-school institutions aren't where you go if you want something that reflects Silicon Valley-esque "meritocracy", where credentials don't matter and only impact does. That's why this ethos is a big deal, and different than what came before (though it has its own set of issues).
I find American English weirdly puritanical in some respects.

For instance this use of <letter>-word as a signifier for a thing you find so offensive you can't say out loud or even write down in a discussion even though in this discussion we're not actually applying it to a person or hypothetical person.

(I've not used it here as I think I can make this point without using it or hopefully causing offence).

We have to careful of branding words themselves "hate speech" without reference to context.

The particular word I think you refer to is perfectly legitimate when used in the context of the animal it describes.

In fact as I understand it's not so much offensive because it compares a person to an animal as it is because it's also a slang name for the world's oldest profession and implies ownership and coercion with regard to that profession (both of which I'd say were dehumanising in a different and more offensive way).

Banning the use of an everyday word in all contexts comes across not as about hate speech but as a way of an in group asserting control on others.

I feel the same about the C-word. In my culture, whilst still a bit blue for everyday use, it's much less offensive than in yours. We apply it in all sorts of situations that are not dehumanising.

Javascript doesn't change at anything like the pace that TypeScript does, so it hasn't been much of a hassle.

This is the same argument in favor of building oil pipelines, because they spill less oil per mile than trucks or trains.

Word, Excel and Powerpoint were forwards and backwards compatible from 1997 to 2004. The newer versions emitted various backward compatible formatting (eg Word 2000 supported table-in-table, but emitted sufficient formatting for Word 97 to at least see one level of tables and consider the rest of the cells to be paragraphs)

This describes precisely my own reaction to Munroe's comic.

I mean, it's certainly true that discussion forums benefit from moderation to remove trolls. However, Munroe myopically assumes that the only people being de-platformed are trolls.

Even if some of the people being de-platformed are provocateurs, the fact is that there's still a difference between excluding people from what is essentially a private club (as most online discussion forums are) and excluding people from the public square (which Facebook and Twitter have essentially become). In the broader social sphere, the differences between troll and Socratic "gadfly" are difficult if not impossible to discern.

I'm an engineer. I live on a small farm. If not for this "car culture" I wouldn't have a job. The closest business to my house is a bar about 3 miles away.

You can hate on cars all you want, but there's no denying that they opened up people's options. The fact that the small towns are emptying out is pretty much all the proof you need.

There are too many edge cases to throw out the baby with the bathwater though. Reddit has a lot of really great niche communities that work hard to avoid toxicity (although to be fair I don’t go to anything news/politics related there, just memes and machine learning for me).

Facebook, likewise, is a trash company with a trash product, but has completely replaced the town notice boards and meeting halls in rural communities, and is indispensable for working with them.

I’ve been thinking hard enough to get steam blowing out of my ears trying to figure out a way to slice out that essential function from Facebook and put it on a platform that isn’t predatory and dangerous, but I still can’t square that circle. So in the meantime, if people want to engage and stay engaged with rural communities, Facebook is a necessary evil.
The decision of how $X is spent is just part of the bigger picture... what is $X, why do people accept those wages, what options are actually available to them, and how does the presence of conglomerate importers influence the local economy in the long run? That's what I was alluding to.
If you're not using a discrete GPU, that addition very possible will open up some more HiDPI resolutions for you. With a modest RX-460 (recognized in 10.13+) I get a variety of formats starting from a 2560x1440 layout over 3840x2160 pixels, and incrementally more spacious, all still over 3840x2160 on the wire, all with excellent HiDPI rendering. My intel graphics iGPU delivers just the limitations you described.
I think it's quite possible Facebook will be facing criminal actions before long both because there are statutes that can be cited that FB is probably violating and because states/localities might see suing Facebook as a possible revenue source. Ultimately I think Facebook is simply caught in the middle of a divided America and fighting with each other online will almost certainly spill over into the courts... I just hope it doesn't spill out into the streets as well.

According to [1] you can have float-adjusted or market-cap weighted indices.

> An example of a company in which float-adjustment comes into play is Amazon (AMZN). The online retail giant's overall market cap is estimated at around $130 billion. However, only about two thirds of its shares are publicly traded. The non-publicly traded shares, controlled by insiders such as founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, would not be included when determining a company's weight in a float-adjusted index. Incidentally, a company's full market cap, including both its float and non-float shares, is used to determine whether it belongs in the index.

So it depends on the index.

Thanks for the response. I do appreciate the efforts of the team, and am planning to continue learning TypeScript :)

Maybe this exists, but one thing that would be super helpful is a document that explains any places where there's a "new best way" of doing things, and also details what the old way was.

Here's an example from yesterday: I was Googling about extending a type (I think) and the first SO result (top of Google) says "you can't do that in TypeScript"... but reading the comments someone had said "actually you can, in 2.6 or later". That's the kind of thing that it would be great to have summarised in one place. Not necessarily all the changes (ie, not just all the release notes) but specifically where the language has changed and an old way of doing things, or a previous restriction, is gone. Preferably with examples. (I'd try to create this, but I don't have the skills to do so).
> Think about it - most implementations of > or < will often use the same logic already, spelling this out is "annoying"; mind that for performance reasons it can still be worthwhile to implement a == explicitly as equal comparison is often faster than ordering, but that's something the type designer can chose

Yup. My C++ code would often include a `int T.compare(const T& a)` member function. Then any comparison operator would be custom written too -- but only to delegate to the custom compare and check its result.

This one feature alone will eliminate several lines of boilerplate.

> There is a new, simpler, and vastly more capable language evolving out of the old one and you can increasingly live almost entirely within this new language as a developer.

How is that true in practice? I would expect that once you have a codebase big enough, instead of living only with the new language you still have to deal with (or at least read) code written in previous versions of the language. And so instead of having to know only the modern subset you would have to keep in mind all the potential quirks from previous versions.
