Then you must not be up to date then, because at least iOS 12 and iOS 13 both re-asked after updating.

In a utopian world, I agree. But there are legitimate business needs for something like this to exist, and if you don’t provide a method with an acceptable compromise (neither side likes it, but that’s usually the case with a “compromise”) between user privacy and business need and mandate only it’s usage (which Apple did), then apps will do far worse. Just look at the shenanigans pulled on the web.
I’ve been working through Ben’s videos on the 6502 since September. It’s been a highly enjoyable way to relax and learn for me. It’s very easy to go beyond what he’s teaching. There’s so much material out there (6502.org for instance). The most rewarding for me has been taking the basics he gives on address decoding and going beyond it.
Some more details about the files for future reference. (Sizes listed below are measured in bytes.)

> [Python is] ... not powerful enough to be a good dynamic language.

Could you elaborate? I guess you're comparing it with Lisp -- what makes it significantly more powerful than Python? (I read your paragraph about Lisp and I don't see why it couldn't just as easily apply to Python, apart from `lambda` being 6 characters instead of 1.)
This really is nitpicking. Not having a Char type is something that has seriously affected you?

Honestly, how often have you had to write a function that strictly takes a char and not string? In a decade of programming professionally, I can probably count 3.
Ugly and unattractive aren't the same thing.
We're saying the same thing! A supporter of Trump or any other politician might think "their guy" is faultless, and I would probably disagree, but I wouldn't sit there arguing with them about how and why they _should_ find fault. The original comment framed their personal definition of 'faultless' by following it immediately with their definition (no retractions). You or I don't have to agree with that, and it just derails the entire conversation to sit here and argue (myself included) about the definition of a throwaway word. Nobody in this conversation is trying to convince you that their definition of faultless matches yours or that Wikileaks fit that criteria, whatever it may be.
Sorry, I still don't understand. What do you mean by quoting vs. generalized code generation? In Lisp the macro can be a procedure, which takes expressions and then uses an arbitrary computation to generate new expressions. Using a quoting mechanism and code templates is fully optional.
Adobe moved to a subscription model. They lose revenue as they lose customers.

> Is there a better way to utilize the convenience of python for experimental code without running into the scalability issues of large python codebases?

Type hints and doctests.

If that doesn't get you to pretty big static typing wins, then you are probably just dealing with a toxic codebase or something.
Waived same day change fees is the biggest (way underappreciated IMO) perk of 1k. I now pick the first or last flight out and move around as needed (most of the time I can swap with no fare class change). Having a dedicated phone line to call and immediately get a helpful human to reroute me is also super worthwhile.
Yup. Making a living for yourself only in such in a way that you purposely don't make a living for anyone else is limiting and self-defeating. And if everyone did that, society would collapse.

It's not like the economy is zero-sum anyway.
Lol this company is so obviously going to fail and people are still throwing money at it.
> more imports fuel ever more demand for apparently good investments. This is part of the demand side of the "global savings glut" (it doesn't mean actual cash)

Can you clarify what else other than cash it means?
Funny, every time I hear these stories about the declining value of college I always think why that is. Is the premium declining because so many people can at least have a chance to finance an education now? Is that really bad?

Whenever I hear someone say they don't need to go to college, I remind them Mark Zuckerberg was at Philips Exeter (2019 tuition 49k), Bill Gates and Paul Allen at Lakeside School (2019 tuition 36k), Reid Hoffman attended Putney School (2019 tuition and boarding 56k). Many of the people that make pronouncements about college not being a necessity came from wealthy backgrounds or went to the upper crust of private high schools in America. In fact whenever someone makes these crazy suggestions I suggest you look up their background and it will usually be wealthy family/private high school.

I will grant Bezos and Thiel being the exception to private schools but still they came from upper middle class / wealth backgrounds...

These individuals could do without college. The hard work and preparation at their high schools put them through a grueling curriculum. If they have enough discipline to graduate from these high schools they would have been a success with or without college.

Unless you are in similar situation, please go to college and graduate. Specific degrees do not really matter just graduate so you don't get sidelined late in your career.

I still hear people say it is not necessary. It probably isn't really necessary for most IT roles but once youthful enthusiasm runs out, every employer will look to replace you. Do not think they will value your experience and loyalty.

Another counterpoint, if it was the case a college education is not necessary to succeed at Silicon Valley, why do these firms have a difficult time hiring black or hispanic employees... Sure college may be useless for some but please don't peddle this garbage in the face of reality.

So either the Silicon Valley firms are racist and are OK with having employees that never went to college as long as they look a certain way or this is all bunk in an effort to hire young enthusiastic employees that have no room to negotiate after a certain age...

As we just saw many wealthy families bribe their children into an Ok college... I bet all the wealthy people above will make sure their children attend college. I will bet all their wives and friends went to college. I will bet they never shared a beer with friends that never went to college.

Please don't be stupid. Finish college, learn something that interest you, give back to society.

Maybe all these policy discussions are bunk and every child in America should expect the same quality of education a student at Exeter would demand.
So I'm scrolling through this article, reading more carefully at first to model his thought processes, then picking up a few words per paragraph, formulating a hypothesis as to what he's saying in that paragraph, making a spot check to confirm my hypothesis, and moving on. I was oblivious to the irony here, as I was focused on reading. When I realized I was a counterexample to his thesis, I cracked up and had to stop.
You're awfully optimistic with 'equivalent or better'.
Man, that's a blast from the past. Audiograbber was one of the first pieces of software I ever spent my own money on. I can also remember buying Kali (which let you play IPX LAN games over the TCP/IP internet), ACDSee, and something called I think ZipMagic(?) that made Windows treat zip files as directories.

Ah, memories.
You don't get it. These are not the same thing. The difference, as others point out, is tone. One is far more formal than the other, and conveys a sense of stepping on eggshells.

If the only way to discuss a concept is to first put on a suit and tie and pay prostrating deference to all who demand it (and demand it they will), then nobody will discuss it very much.

This is how you win a game of censor-thy-neighbour without actual admin access to the platform.
> And with status you board earlier which also means less drama regarding getting on or whats going to happen to your carryon bag

But then you have to deal with once-yearly flyers in Zone 72 bashing their rollon over your feet and into your chair.

Personally, I fear the day airlines force me to board first. I'll enjoy the gate while everyone else boards a plane that will depart at the same time for everyone.
I can't say I have heard of criminal gangs sabotaging the food supply before. Is this something that occurring but is under-reported or is there something more going on here?
I didn’t see it as promotion but even if it is, his is a valuable perspective we can get something from and totally relevant to the discussion.
Tesla has said that they are willing to do so, just not for free. I also get the impression that they don't want every slow-charging electric vehicle to have access to their network, and I honestly can't blame them. They have capacity issues as it is, it would be much worse if slow-charging Bolts were able to use it.

Its the early days still, though, so hopefully this will change as Tesla's competitors become more competitive.
Then use “ugly”, rather than a pejorative term meant to ridicule. As an illustrative example, “ugly person” is to “uggos” as “fat person” is to “fatso”.
I'm assuming you have some concrete curriculum in mind, but I'm curious how what you're thinking of compares to something like the learning objectives spelled out in the CS Curricula 2013[0]?

Personally, going through OP's site, I was nodding my head and comparing it to what I learned in my undergraduate CS degree. Some of it is dated, but most of it connects to the Architecture and Operating System classes I took.

That would be an engineering program not a science program. 40 years ago there wasn’t much difference but the field has moved on since then! A number of schools have split the tracks, or offer only a computer engineering program.
The issue is that the comparison is to the Rivian which only has a 4.5 ft bed. The rear 4.5 feet of the Cybertruck isn't too hard to access, its the front 2 feet that is problematic.

The rivian doesn't have that feature.
Electric makes sense if you've got a good clean source of power like nuclear, solar or wind. But if you're getting power by burning fossil fuels then it seems more efficient to use that heat directly rather than to use the heat to generate steam to turn a turbine to turn a generator to produce electricity, and then turn that electricity back into heat again.

Logical. Capitalism society based on greed selfishness, destruction, profits at any cost. Corporations knew exactly what they were doing but profits are a corporate thing any social , economic, or environmental issues which are caused are not their problem. They make a mess destroy everything and then hand the problem to the people who are broke , broken and worn out. Typical. The profits corporations make for the few elite on top dont outweigh the damages they cause.
To bad majority of the population is brainwashed or not intelligent enough to understand that.

Try explaining things to a typical baby boomers with limited education who is stubborn and hates change. Most have the same knowledge now that they had 40 years ago. Lucky if they can operate a smart phone. Media cooks their brains the way they want. Sad. Really sad. I know tons of baby-boomers who are happy with what they selfishly got through destruction. They claim they wont live forever and after that they dont care what happens.

Lots of parents that dont give a dam about their kids or the future their kids would have. You would be surprised. If they are happy and living like kings everyone else including their kids could starve to death.

Talk from experience my family wouldnt give me a loaf of bread when i lost everything in a divorce and was homeless. “When you 18 your a adult its your life and our life is our own.” That is fine but i was alone 14 hrs a day since i was 8. Had a fulltime job at 12 so i could buy food and clothes. This is the type of right wing capitalist that were created. Living in 2 million dollar estates.

Baby boomers destroyed the world. That kind of greed was rewarded. Sociopaths were king. What do you expect

- Authoritarian ideologies, such as fascism and communism, have no place in our society and their proponents must be shunned

- People should be judged (i.e. admitted to college or hired) by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin

- Mass import of foreign workforce by corporations is not being done in pursuit of any high-minded ideals but to drive the wages down, and it is not something we must embrace or celebrate

If you agree with any of the above, congratulations -- you're a fascist.

See my reply to sibling comment. I’m not advocating for political correctness, I’m certainly the exact opposite of that more often than not. But I also feel it’s entirely unnecessary to shame people of a particular appearance in this context, “ugly people” is sufficiently specific to get the same point across you’re trying to make with “uggos”.

The fact you keep doubling down even after it was pointed out that you aren’t following the site guidelines is a strong indication you probably need to take a break, before one of the mods makes it a mandatory break.
I find it hard to believe I'm subvocalizing when I read at my normal pace on "average" text (i.e., not academically-dense), on the grounds that I can't read aloud at anything even remotely resembling the speed with which I normally read, no matter how hard I may try.

I can believe that various stray neural impulses may still end up getting sent, or that I subvocalize key words and my conscious self doesn't notice. But in the sense that I think people expect, where we could just take the subvocalizations and somehow lift them up to vocalizations with some obvious transform and understand the results? No way.

There's a world of difference between "everyone whether they realize it or not are fully reading aloud every word they read, just too quietly to hear" and "various small stray impulses may make their way down to the vocal cords". Perhaps there is lack of clarity about what "subvocalization" means?

I also find it hard to believe on the grounds that while by no means can I sustain this for long periods of time, I can be speaking to someone while reading something else. Generally I have my sentence "queued up", so to speak, so it isn't consuming the executive function, while I'm using the executive function to read. Even thought this may be for small single-digit number of seconds, that's still plenty to find it hard to believe that I am simultaneously "subvocalizing" what I'm reading while I'm also vocalizing a completely different set of words, which may not even be on the same train of thought.
I’ve thought about this a lot. I think it’s important that dating people match based on relative attractiveness, health, energy level, tidiness, age/maturity, mental attitude, goals and standard of living.

Also, dating sites should facilitate meeting, not pen-pals or “virtual” phony “relationships.”

Perhaps a more palatable way to approach this is to legitimately screen/curate each applicant and rate them honestly so that there’s less disappointment on blind matching. Also, you don’t what a Philip DeFranco moment of moving to NYC for a would-be significant other that is actually a 16-year-old con artist in Idaho.
Thanks for the podcast recommendation, I have every book by Adler and nearly everything published by Piaget and Dewey.
It is a fools' errand to think we will ever be able to get 100% of humanity to agree on objective truth, because there is no such thing. The only 'truth' is the truth of majority, and the only path forward for us as humans is to build a society that can contain, tolerate, and function in spite of all the icky fringe beliefs out there. Think of how many people there must be who are just as convinced as you are or I am that their version of reality is correct. Now think about what it would take to get you to change your mind on some of your deepest beliefs, if it's even possible. _Then_ multiply that problem hundreds of thousands of times over. We don't have enough time left as a species to sit here and argue until we declare one viewpoint "truth" and all the others "un-truth". It is more important for humanity as a species to come together and survive than it is for any individual viewpoint to be "right".
Isn't it amazing how people pass courses, even perhaps demonstrate mastery at a point in time, but manage to get to later courses without fully understanding things? Students end up with a very strange mental framework by the time they graduate, and it seems like most students actually know shockingly little. I don't know that there's a solution, or even that it's an issue. To me, this is simply a reflection of how people learn.

Regardless, this seems like a nice little document for those 20% of students who are still willing to read supplementary materials. Then again, this is short and clear enough that if it were properly chunked within a course and had graded assignments attached, many students would probably actually skim it.

If you ever want to develop this some more, I hope you'll consider something like Runestone[0], in order to give it some auto-graded questions along the way!

F# - I've tried out a bunch of languages and F# seems to be the central point between most of them. More functional than Kotlin, like lisp with static types, less surprising than Scala. Also enjoy that it's part of an established ecosystem though .NET and is new to me if you exclude ASP web pages from ages ago. So far it feels like the language I've been looking for when others seemed just off in one direction or another.
The point of the article is that you can absolutely love your work today but hate it at some point in the future (even if it's not physically straining). If you invest yourself in a job it can always be damaging.

In that way, telling people to work hard to "build a thriving society" is like telling people to drive over the speed limit because they'll get there faster. It can work but doing it too much can be dangerous.
I concur. I am writing a new project in Python after some months writing exclusively Clojure. I decided to write the code using small, pure functions and avoiding classes unless strictly necessary makes the codebase much easier to maintain in the long run.

However I don't think the Python ecosystem is immature, for me it is the contrary. This project started with Python since I didn't find a good way to reduce the Clojure startup time, and believe me I tried everything I found (from GraalVM to ClojureScript). And there is gaps everywhere in Clojure ecosystem when you want to create command line tools, while Python has literally everything I needed.
