I don't know anyone that self defines as "absolutist", but many that simply are that way.

My elementary school was a religious one. There was something that deeply annoyed me about how they reasoned. I couldn't put my finger on it then, but I got a knee-jerk reaction as soon as I heard it. It was just that: love is better than hate, virtue is better than sin, etc. so you must comply with what God/they/your parents said because they loved you vs. your bad instincts, inspired by the devil that is Bad.

By the time I started high scholl in a public school, the dictator had died and we transitioned to democracy. Tolerance was the magic word. We can now speak our minds, accept others' opinions, discuss frankly any idea.

But then the left was the forbidden set of ideas making itself a space. Forty years later they're hegemonic and "zero tolerance" (I hate that expression) and beware of what you say are back.

They're exactly the same as their parents (that they consider troglodites) just with a different set of dogmas. Ideas change easily with the fads, but mindsets not so fast.

The trick is to present an idea that's absolutely good on paper like: "don't you think that everybody should have what they need to live?" But ignoring all the practical details of implementation: if it's at all possible, if the proposed measures are useful to reach that goal, etc.

No one of them would call themselves "absolutists", that sounds like ancient regime, or fascists, nazis. But they reason in absolutes and there's no way to touch them with words. They won't negotiate because they just vote for politicians that promise to magically implement that wishful thinking. The politicians will negotiate to reach power, though, they know better.
Github actions is nice but I think they go to wrong direction. The way they work is you are given an image then you have to use a thing call Github action, which basically just to extract out into YAML to define a certain steps for install any dependencies, execute shell script ...

I don't know why they didn't allow us to use any docker image we want so we don't have to waste time to use actions to install dependencies...Eg, if your app depend on both Go, Ruby, Node at build time you will need:

https://github.com/actions/setup-go
https://github.com/actions/setup-node
https://github.com/actions/setup-ruby

Actually, it's probably text/plain; format=flowed, which any sane email client would display as appropriately wrapped for the viewport size. It's generally the best way to send plain text emails.

The problem here is the mailing list archive viewer, which is displaying it in a non-wrapping context, instead of letting the text wrap appropriate. It's using a <pre> instead of a <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap">, in other words.
format=flowed is a reasonable middle-ground: https://joeclark.org/ffaq.html

When I was at the university I was enraged by the grades the other students were getting: it was not because it was complicated, it was because the topic was poorly explained.

So I asked the uni to borrow a classroom and hold my own courses, a summary once before every exam. The grades went up and I felt useful for the first time in my life.

I kept explaining things to friends and colleagues after that, while being a full time dev. That's the only thing I was consistently better at than most people. There were better devs, but I could explain python decorators to a junior like if it was the most obvious thing in the world, and I felt proud of it.

I also still was regularly irritated by the terrible state of teaching. Why do people explain react by first installing webpack + babel while you can just drop a script tag and start playing? Why do nobody tells you what a bloody env var is, like you are supposed to be born knowing that? Why no beginner course ever include an intro to a debugger, do you enjoy having your students suffer? Why do they keep using the confusing reverse arrow in git history schemas, as if technically correct where the best kind of correct?

One day, I decided to do charity work in West Africa. I ended up stayed there for 2 years, eventually created my own company. Things where good.

Then the war started. My company went down, my bank account was frozen and I was forced back home, in debt. Fun times.

I looked for missions to quickly make cash, but in France dev doesn't pay that much. So I dug, and noticed that training professionals was incredibly well paid, thousands of dollars for a few days of work, which for the country is insane. It felt like stealing. It still does sometimes.

But I needed the money, and I though I was good at it, so I spammed dozens of entities. After a few courses, in which everybody was surprised there were no slide and the program kept changing, the phone started ringing.

Apparently most professional trainers suck too, and companies were astonished that not only the trainees could enjoy the session, but that they gained productivity afterward. Why did they paid so much money before, then? It's a mystery to me.

But I kept at it every since.

I usually do training once a month: JS, Python, Git, lot of web, a little bit of data analysis, best practice or design patterns.

But I still dev the rest of the time, otherwise I would always go from planes to hotels and that's no life. Besides, a trainer who doesn't code becomes obsolete very quickly.

Yet I try to get remote gigs for American clients: french customers never pay as much and they are very risk adverse so the projects are less interesting. I do have a few, because we know each others very well and working together is a blast: we can have drinks, say offensive jokes and still get the stuff done. Money is not everything.

All in all, I like training people. It's frustrating, infuriating even sometimes. And exhausting. But when I'm fed up with computers, I get to see people. And when I'm fed up with people, I go back to my computer.

You literally contradicted yourself in your argument

> Have you considered how Chinese developers feel when they must not only browse English documentation, but learn English keywords present in every major programming language? How accessible do you think StackOverflow is to Mandarin speakers?

and then

> "I'm not a nice person, and I don't care about you. I care about the technology and the kernel — that's what's important to me." - Linus Torvalds

Based on those two quotes, it doesn't matter how the Chinese feel, what matters is the technology as you said yourself.

An established standard is in place. Why should it be changed to make Chinese devs feel better? What about middle eastern developers or south American developers?
Python is long established language, GoLang is gaining traction I think both are worth learning, especially that they are so different.

I would try both and just stay with the one that feels better to use.
Interesting, but in the first example I would be worried that Wok would be misheard as "walk", which might entice people to pick the instant fail card of "fall". That's a meta-level of the game (which I've played with friends and family) that you have to be aware of, and sometimes you can use to your advantage. Because of that, using a program that can perfectly disambiguate between the word and associations will probably lead to some non-intuitive results sometimes.

Right but some enums are designed to allow new types to be added.

For example suppose you add another image format to the `image` library:

What's more annoying - a major version bump every time you support a new format, or not being able to exhaustively match on all 10 formats?

Here are two slide decks talking (roughly) about real-world attacks against Lua 5.1 and 5.2's bytecode:

Lua used to have a built-in bytecode verifier as I understand it, but it never reached the point to where it was enough to safeguard the VM.

Haskell is significantly less popular than some other languages, but it has a non-trivial amount of people using it in serious applications in industry (e.g., a large part of Facebook’s spam filtering system is written in Haskell [1]), as well as for some reasonably popular open source projects like Pandoc. Furthermore, Haskell has a rich ecosystem of open source libraries on Hackage.

How does this not qualify it as a language with practical applications? Frankly, your comment comes across as being based upon hearsay, instead of actual experience with the language and its community. You’re right that Haskell is not as popular as more mainstream languages, but that does not make it similar to Brainfuck.

> In a statement, the company blamed "multiple simultaneous fibre cuts", which are very rare.

In cases where multiple cables are cut simultaneously the simple answer was that it was probably done intentionally.

Reminds of 2015 in SF: ”At least 11 physical attacks on these cables have occurred in at least 10 Bay area cities”

I was not necessarily referring to international transactions, just curious about what the person wrote since I indeed also believe that to be true (also in the Netherlands) even though I separately learned of this part of the constitution that (now that I put two and two together) seems contradictory, at least within the Netherlands. Since there are quite a few Dutch people here, I figured someone might know.
"You could set up some sort of signaling where you activate the outbound number with an SMS ..."

Thanks - that is a great idea and I might consider implementing that ...

I think a SIP/VOIP app might be cleaner, and I see that some VOIP apps now support SMS, if I understand correctly ? Call quality and volume issues are a side-effect of the voip dialers, though ...
Which is probably a blocker for a large number of people. That would very much mess with my family as I don't have anyone to help with my kids while I'm indisposed. It also makes it awkward for companies to accept donations on his behalf which will lessen access to many people.

This stuff is never to block all transactions, it's to limit them to only a few and cut the flow substantially.

Agreed. It may be true that Eclipse on a Ryzen 9 doesn't feel as responsive as Visual J++ on a Pentium III. J++ was just that much faster than Eclipse. Then again, for my usage, the J++ environment was not much more than a syntax-colored text editor with project files and a method and field browser.

Like I said, when Eclipse arrived a few years later, it provided a lot of utility that J++ did not, and obviously that utility has value. But I think both of us look back fondly on J++ because we know that had it not been cut short, it could have evolved into something different and possibly even better than what we know as Java today. It seems plausible that in an alternate history where J++ kept evolving, I'd be more satisfied with the state of the art.

Dylan was used in early prototypes of Newton-like systems and an early Newton. Dylan was a Lisp-derived language (originally with a Lisp-like syntax), mostly developed in Macintosh Common Lisp and itself. The released Newton MessagePad product used C++ and NewtonScript (because of extremely small RAMs of just 640kb).

Apple developed lots of new stuff in their Advanced Technology Group (ATG), which used Lisp in many projects. Lisp was used for Dylan, but even the prototype for the NewtonScript development environment was written in Macintosh Common Lisp - and then released in a C+ version.

Alan Kay was there, but Alan was more interested in Smalltalk projects, I'd guess. But one driving force for Lisp at Apple was Larry Tesler ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Tesler ), who also worked with Smalltalk at Xerox Parc. See here: http://lispm.de/docs/prefix-dylan/book.annotated/foreword.ht...

Worth noting that Multipass does not support launching VMs with bridged networking. See this issue for details:

https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/118

This means that your VMs won't be able to get IP addresses on your LAN via DHCP. Kind of a fundamental omission for this kind of product I would think. Curious that it's not a high priority issue for them.

Also, what's the IPv6 story here? I didn't see anything in the docs addressing that, unless I'm missing something.
Any reference? Closest I can find on Twitter's site itself is this [1] but the second shortcut (l to like) doesn't work for me.

Edit: OK, it works, when you use default keyboard controls (e.g. tab) to select the tweet first. I'd assumed it would work from a 'single tweet' page without having to do anything else first. Overall, looks promising, but not as nice as the keyboard controls in gmail, for example.
Do not agree. Commit messages can be more expansive than comments, because comments bitrot more readily: they are not rooted in a time and change to the code.

I use commits for the largest bulk of explanation, particularly "why," which can be rather detailed and not of much interest to someone skimming the code rapidly.

Comments I use for pointers that are unlikely to bitrot and/or important to prevent error. Except for the most timeless design elements in a project, I do not commit long documentation.
You want to talk facts, it ranks so low on Github's usage (based on Github's own API) that it isn't even ranked in the top 25 languages:

https://github.com/benfred/github-analysis/#inferring-langua...

Rust by contrast is 16th and trending upwards year on year. So these D users that are missing from internet forums are also missing from checking in actual code.

You talk about the lack of facts, but I can link you to Stackoverflow's survey, Github's usage, Google Trends, and show you that D isn't doing very well. Where's your facts here? Where is this evidence of a large number of quiet D programmers?

So let's talk facts, I have, your turn.

It's possible there will be more after .net 5 is released, but I think the current trend is to keep languages' standard libraries small, anyway, though.

NIMBY is defined by the objection to housing only when it's in one's own backyard, and otherwise being perfectly happy to see it constructed elsewhere.

You describe HRC as opposing the the construction of high-end housing regardless of location — thus, whatever else it may or may not be, it certainly isn't NIMBY.

(The outcome may end up being that not enough housing is built, and that's of course terrible, but that's still not NIMBY, nor is it NIMBY-ism. It's some other form of idealism that isn't derived from the NIMBY principles.)
While I appreciate the analysis, the perspective this whole blog post takes misses the mark on how AWS provides value. You can't look at it simply as providing commodity computation and storage.

As a solo SAAS founder, I use AWS because of all the other services that surround those offerings (Cognito for user management, DynamoDB for database, Serverless stack for API, SES, SQS, Route53, ECS, I could go on for a while) provide a huge amount of value for me in terms of not having to fully set up and maintain that functionality myself. I pay next to nothing for these services and the developer and devops hours saved is worth many thousands of $ to me. However, because of this reliance, I then end up knowingly overpaying for storage, computation, and bandwidth (the latter is by far the biggest concern, the former 2 are fairly minor, so I'm looking at alternative CDN providers). However, other than that, even though my AWS bill is the biggest my SAAS has, I happily pay it. There would be almost no way for me to run this thing solo without it (I'm not saying someone else couldn't, just for me).

That page actually explicitly says otherwise in the context of Uber/Lyft which I'm assuming OP refers to.

> In January 2015, the Associated Press Stylebook, the collective that sets many of the news industry's grammar and word use standards, officially adopted the term "ride-hailing" to describe the services offered by Lyft and Uber, claiming that "ridesharing" doesn't accurately describe the services since not all rides are shared, and "ride-sourcing" only is accurate when drivers provide rides for income. While the Associated Press recommended the use of "ride-hailing" as a term, it noted that, unlike taxis, ridesharing companies cannot pick up street hails. However, the Associated Press has also used the term ridesharing as well.

While "ride sharing" sounds nice, because, you know, sharing is good, that's not what Uber and co primarily do. They offer "pool" versions, sure, but the number from 2016 I found said those account for only 20% of all rides.

Sure, you could say I'm being pedantic but I do think "sharing" is a different concept and has a positive connotation that might be deliberately being used here.

There are "ride sharing" companies out there where people actually share a ride to the same or similar location.
