I bet you an average Chinese would be offended if you said China and N. Korea are about equally bad, he'd also say "oppressive regime's stranglehold on its citizens".

As other commenters are pointing out, the US is not as bad as China, but there are shitty things in the US too. The average Chinese probably thinks "I'm pretty free to live my life, the economy is ok, what's your problem?", which is not far from what the average American thinks, and both ignore the terrible terrible shit that they don't feel affect them, or they think has always been like that. E.g. corrupt law enforcement and elite, inadequate healthcare, foreign policy that invites wrath, the treatment of minorities...

If anyone else isn’t familiar with ‘IC’, it seems it stands for “individual contributor” (as opposed to a role where you're managing others). Correct me if I’m wrong.
Music fans buy stereo/audio equipment to listen to their music.

Audiophiles buy music to listen to their stereo/audio equipment.
Switching usually means a downlevel or a lateral level transition (extremely rare that someone uplevels from a switch) which limits the upside. You'd always be tied to your prior TC in some way and the effects compound.
> Fossil is made to work that way from the start, so you can't run into these problems with Fossil. You'd have to go out of your way to use Fossil in the default Git style, such as by cloning into ~/ckout/.fossil and opening that repo in place.

That's unfortunate. Reading the comments here, switch-branch-in-place is seen as some kind of flaw, but I don't think I would voluntarily use a VCS that doesn't let me easily do that (it's most sensible way for me to work, from way before Git was a thing).
I've always been curious about Spotify's approach on this, because truth be told the service on good quality speakers does sound rather good.

I'm very pleased by everything I just read in this link — they really think of the user first, and favor music quality and the general experience. It's exactly how I did/do it myself, manually.

Awesome, really awesome to learn that the loudness war is finally coming to a close.
I am a comma user, engineer and autonomous vehicle enthusiast. Comma truly is second only Tesla if we leave out Waymo, but Waymo is only operating in Geofenced areas.

I have used every single pilot assist out and they're all quiet frankly terrible in comparison. I will give GM Supercruise a nod in how well it's done but again, it's Geofenced.
Who said anything about a drinking problem? But ads that glorify and make drinking seem exotic/cool/whatever can normalize underage drinking, or any activity for that matter: maybe you're aware of the massive vaping craze among the young, partly as a result of viral social media that does that same thing. Don't act like media exposure can't have any impact on expectations, social norms, and the like. And take notice of the fact that in the 80s and 90s when awareness of this sort of advertising issue curtailed such advertising in traditional media, things like incidents of drunk driving and related accidents/deaths began their years-long decline.
The difference here is that Subaru didn't strap a rocket engine to the back of my Forrester, tell me I didn't need extra training to use it, and then have a sensor that automatically steered me into a wall when it engaged.

> Well, an authoritative source can still be wrong but by definition does not lie

That's the type of thing I imagine someone in north korea saying. By definition does not lie? That's news to me and certainly not true of any "authoritative sources". Every authoritative sources has lied. Even more, every autoritative sources was created specifically to lie. If you think I'm wrong, go read about the creation of these "authoritative sources". Who created them and why?

Even the hallowed BBC by definition told lies. Orwell worked for the BBC Eastern Service as a propagandist. It was one of his inspirations for 1984. You might have heard of him.

> who are you going to bet on over the long term?

Neither - especially when it comes to important issues. As I said the slavish "appeal to authority". It's the basis of all tyranny.
Well, one of the defining characteristics of humans and human intelligence is empathy--the ability, often involuntary, to imagine or predict how someone or something else experiences the world. Or at least the incredible extent and depth of our empathy. Mammals in general often display basic empathy, presumably a reflection of their mammalian offspring caregiving instincts, which in turn is presumably at the root of our own empathy.

It's not at all surprising our empathy is selective and context dependent, though. What's surprising is that we exhibit it to the extent we do, however inconsistently.

And if you truly believe that there exists no absolute truth then I invite you to walk off a cliff. It would be less of a leap than assuming that just because culture is complex and often inherently subjective that there is no absolute truth.
I think my original reply was a little brusque. Really this is a fine scheme, but I do think it's limited in where it can realistically be used - IMO, small self-contained SaaS products only - and I do think that the hash should be called out explicitly as metadata vs. an integral part of the version.

Simply moving from YEAR.MONTH.DAY.CHANGE_ID to YEAR.MONTH.DAY.UPDATE.CHANGE_ID, with UPDATE being a mandatory monotonically-increasing integer, would make this scheme more attractive to a wider variety of users.
There doesn't seem to be much new, modular LED video walls are already available and used in the music and show industry:

They're made to be quickly set up and torn down, hanging from cables or lighting supports.
Perhaps this version by Samsung is easier to configure in odd shapes? I've seen a music show (Jon Anderson) where he had multiple vertical panels with large gaps in-between (several feet) and the panels all showed parts of the same video as though it was one display, with gaps in the image where the physical gaps were. So there is some configurability in existing modular LED walls too.

If you search on eBay you'll find the panels listed by the pixel spacing, P2, P3, P4, P6 where the number is the number of millimeters spacing.

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m...

You can buy a 10ft x 5ft, P3, 18 panel system for around $10,000 complete except for the laptop to run it. Various show control software has the ability to map video or graphics to pixels on the panels (VDMX, GrandVJ, MadMapper, QLab, etc.)
The fashion was everything. The ipod mini with it's colors. The iconic dancing silloutte ad campaign, where the only defining characteristic is the status symbol of the all white ipod and all white headphone.

Growing up during the rise of the ipod, it absolutely was a status symbol first and foremost. Owning a zune gave you more ridicule in middle school than not owning an mp3 player at all. People were buying earpods without even buying an ipod, just to have that white cord dangling out of their ear.

Maybe older generations saw it as good tech only, but for late millenials, the ipod's popularity was due to an obsession for vanity. These were the years where everything had to be either lacoste, abercrombie, hollister, american eagle, or a 6 inch tall polo man, after all.

Part of the airpods success is that they tap into this obsession toward vanity harbored deep within millenials, who have also moved on from mall brands to gucci/balenciaga/supreme/insert bougie brand of the decade.

Facebook itself acknowledges its role:

The report concludes that, prior to this year, we weren’t doing enough to help prevent our platform from being used to foment division and incite offline violence. We agree that we can and should do more.[1]

and

In a surprising concession before the Senate intelligence committee in September 2018, Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg even accepted that Facebook may have a legal obligation to take down accounts that incentivize violence in countries like Myanmar. Sandberg called the situation “devastating” and acknowledged that the company needed to do more, but highlighted that Facebook had put increased resources behind being able to review content in Burmese. Shortly before the hearing, Facebook announced that it had taken the unusual step of removing a number of pages and accounts linked to the Myanmar military for “coordinated inauthentic behaviour” and in order to prevent them from “further inflam[ing] ethnic and religious tensions.”[2]

The report Facebook itself commissioned and posted at [1] says:

the consequences for the victim are severe, with lives and bodily integrity placed at risk from incitement to violence. and there is a high likelihood of these risks occurring in practice(they have occurred in the past and are happening today) (page 35).

I think it's a pretty reasonable thing to believe if Facebook themselves say it too.

With compile time execution, one can do similar things in other languages too.

This video shows a very advanced and practical way of using "static introspection":

Lambda World 2019 - What FP Can Learn From Static Introspection - Aditya Siram (Deech)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElHi2h9Ho6M

What if compile time and type level programming in functional programming languages were easy, something you reach for without even thinking about it? What if you could debug type errors with a simple compile time print statement? Write highly flexible systems by being able to introspect into types at compile time? Pre-calculate large portions of your programs for great efficiency?

Typed functional programming is a great and fun way to write resilient software, and as type systems have become more and more expressive in recent years, we are able to program sophisticated and useful properties at the type level for even better compile time safety. Just one problem: It is very difficult, requires advanced knowledge of the type system, the syntax is convoluted, the error messages are impenetrable, and it is nearly impossible to debug.

This talk will dive into why we should steal static introspection from languages like Nim, and D, state-of-the-art imperative programming languages which can solve all these issues, make type systems much more approachable without losing any expressive power, and offer new design possibilities for functional programs.

Freedom always implies balancing risk. If you eliminate all risk you end up in a box where all dangers are kept out. But then you die of something else. Probably boredom due to lack of input.

I don't have public transport available. So for freedom in general, take away access to public transport and cars become freedom to move. Even when public transport is available its not when I need it. Or how I need it. I need to move this odd shaped or heavy or inconvenient equipment now. Not in 5 minutes. Not in 15. I won't tolerate your rules on what I put in the car or truck I own either. The time of day is also important. I won't tolerate you saying "please wait 30 minutes" or "we can have a vehicle available tomorrow at 9am". Now.

Obligatory notes:

- I'm not in favor of more road deaths.

- I'm in favor of sensible road speed limits and school zones.

- I'm not in favor of speed limits being used as revenue streams.

- People need to actually stop tailgating and learn how to drive at appropriate speeds.

- I'm not against areas being pedestrian zones with entire streets blocked off. I like to walk as well.

- People are bad drivers some of the time or most of the time in many cases. They make mistakes. "No deaths" means an absolute guarantee. Real life has opinions about absolute guarantees: they are usually either strong fact or a temporary fiction that has harsh consequences while its maintained.

- I think the "cure" for road deaths using just legislation and too low speed limits will cause societal distortions similar to the madness that prohibition had on general society (the government went so far they actually thought poisoning alcohol was a legitimate measure).

- auto-pilot for cars and trucks is worth pursuing.

On a related note: you wrote, "It makes it so I am afraid to let them go anywhere without me or another adult."

Inverted totalitarianism imposed by the consequences of extreme greed by the very rich has created ALL of these conditions: divided-and-conquered polarized populace, learned helplessness and corrupt government.

The only viable solution is, unfortunately, violent overthrow of the established order because peaceful revolution has been made totally impossible. It’s the rich’es fault for creating the status quo and ours for accepting it. It’s not an anarchism vs. capitalism vs. communism trinary choice, but a difference in continuum of corruption of the established order working for the people on one extreme and working for only the elites on another. Incrementalist “hoping” nibbling on the periphery or peaceful change aren’t going to happen because the elites concede nothing (except crumbs) without a fight.

I agree with your opinion on the early iPod and iPhone, but personally I bought a pair of Bang and Olufsen wireless earpods around when the earpods gen 1 were released. I was not a big fan of the Apple design. My dad got the Apple earpods and to be honest, sound quality compared to mine was very lacking. It felt like Apple was a ripoff here.

As well any Apple main product this day in my opinion. Good and decent products, but severely overpriced. Nothing close to as revolutionary as they were in the early days. Look at functions in new models of iPhones or hardware upgrades in Macs, they are not new or exciting. These days they are so much alternatives, it's a wonder to me why Apple is still so popular. It has to be a fashion or prestige feeling in my opinion. And it's only a matter of time before that dies out in my opinion.
You can disable transcoding per-user, there's no option to disable it system wide.
The closest Rusty feature to C++ templates is most likely macros. I don't think even const generics, specialization etc. (which are WIP anyway at the moment) would be enough to replicate templates in the fully general case.

the part you may be missing is this is dynamic while you are coding, so you get autocompletion of dynamic data sources ( or during an interactive session, which gives a dynamic language kind of experience, but with types)
Whether things are causes, consequences or side-effects is overly-simplistic, linear thinking that isn’t helpful when there are many real pains. Don’t bikeshed on labels or categories, please.

It, and apps like it (plex, emby) are a fancy front end for all your pirated media or personal backups. It requires the media exist in digital form on a network attached device, be it your PC, NAS or server. It will not interface with any legit streaming services you have like spotify, netflix, et cetera. Think of it as a personal netflix-like UI for your local media, and nothing more.
Slow the definitional ticks down to be independent of (slowly but increasingly divergent from) Planck time and we can morph it to create as much time as we "need".
Having a specification for how a system should behave in response to various input signals is not at all the same as actually having the functioning software for achieving that system.

In fact, achieving a functional and fully correct piece of software based on such a specification is not at all a trivial task, as experienced software engineers will well appreciate.

Because while the specification may describe a certain sequence of inputs that should result in a certain sequence of outputs, it probably does not prescribe the exact data structures, memory layout, logic flow, and computational steps required to guarantee the correct output is always produced from a given set of inputs.

And the people being paid to create the necessary data structures, algorithms, calculations and control logic in order to implement the design specification... those developers are specifically not in a position to make systems design engineering changes to the underlying specification itself.

Of course they were starting them deliberately. They always have. It's a constant you have to accept - like dry lightening and other ignition sources.
