It's very interesting to see such an explicit endorsement of standardisation efforts, and also the comparison with other languages such as C++.

The situation is also similar to that of Prolog, where many important language features — some of them more recent than others — are not yet included in the standard even though they are provided by several existing implementations with varying degrees of compatibility.

As always, there is hope that standardisation efforts gain traction again, since standards are an important prerequisite for teaching these languages and for extending their application areas.
wow. why wouldn't I talk freely. and yes I talk about a lot that could be used to construct a case against me if some state(like) actor would want to.

So let them. actually I am still hoping for the day at least the US puts me on a no entry list. I would see this as a badge of honor.

As mentioned by topkai22 above, this might not actually be a problem, and is desired in some places.
I'll instead argue that this is merely symptomatic of a society that is generally increasingly catering to short attention spans and dumbed down popular cultural discourse.

I'm not clear on the extent this is due to actual popular demand versus inculcation (pop culture being the go-to font of "entertainment" and leisure "activities") versus some other unmentioned factors.

Access to wider (global? trans-regional?) audiences brings new opportunities, but desiring broad appeal also causes reductionist behaviors.

Surely one can show the trends in UI's over the course of the last 3 decades and point towards the tendency towards increasingly simplified design. This has also become a feedback loop as the aesthetic of such practical decisions becomes a necessary signal to display.
i am not sure i understand the reactions here... why are people mad?

the first message was very reasonable. it even said there is "no danger". to check with media and authorities. the second said the first was human error.

if i were driving, i would stop the car, call 911 and ask if anything was going on. they would probably say no, then i would be on my way. instead there is now an investigation, and someone who is already having a very bad day for their mistake is going to get punished even harsher...

should we start having trainings about these so people realize the possibility that these will become useful one day instead of getting mad?

I really like The Writer's Voice, stories from the New Yorker read by the authors. This episode was about political repression in China. I felt like listening to this story gave me much more of a feel for it than any reporting I'd read.

Also on a literary note, the London Review of Books had an amazing series on the lives and work of selected American and British poets. Each of them is good; the Larkin one might be my favourite.

The best part of the Alamo Drafthouse is that they don't show ads before movies (besides trailers). Instead they do a fun, in-house series of videos specific to the movie.

Ads at other theaters have gotten so bad that I'm willing to drive out my way to go to Alamo instead. The last movie I saw at AMC didn't actually start until 30 minutes after its scheduled time because of ads. (Less than half of that was for trailers.)
The work made by this guy is incredible.

I'm sure people have occasionally had bad experiences at the movies for as long as there have been movies.

Where I come from, the correct term would be "y'all" or "all y'all" which I have also seen arguments online about the correct usage and meaning.

I used to routinely use y'all online in a forum where I was intentionally emphasizing my Southern identity to more clearly distinguish between singular "you" and plural "you."

I've had a class in linguistics. I grew up in a bilingual home. I'm not uninformed about the fact that local colloquialisms exist, language is alive and evolving.

I think of "guys" and "you guys" as both masculine. I don't generally hassle people about such things.

Evidence that I don't generally hassle people about such things:

My method was more specific to bills and finance documents. I used a generic photo scanner. It's not as automatic as the purpose-built document scanners that have automatic feeders and support multiple pages, but I wanted something that I could use for photography as well.

I coupled this with some very hacked together Perl scripts with Tesseract OCR[1] that fed in data to ledger-cli[2] for handling bills. I put other generic documents into folders by date.

It worked pretty well, and I was able to generate some pretty graphs from data that was fully reconciled with financial institutions like my bank, credit card, investments, etc., but still took too much time. So what do I do now? Nothing!

This was years ago. I assume there is now better support from financial institutions for extracting data and this coupled with improved OCR/machine learning might make things more robust and make it worthwhile to try again.

Many people don't have children, many people with children don't have children in school age. They will not be inconvenienced in the slightest by a lack of teachers (at least in the short term).

The effect of teachers is concentrated in a smaller age group, so to those that need the service, the need is very apparent. Parents could teach their kids themselves, this would cost them time and energy.

Of course it would cost them more time than lack of Uber, however what if we add up all the teacher pay and divide it by time and money (opportunity costs) saved and do the same for Uber drivers? Could this be a similar number? I'm not sure, but I think there might be some surprises there.
So, how is this different from roll20?

I’m in an FFG SWRPG game right now that uses roll20 (to show the map, handle rolls and character sheets, etc...) and discord (mostly for voice and text chat, because roll20 isn’t as good at those things).

We are moving over to a different discord server that doesn’t use roll20 for any of their current games, but would give us a much larger group of people to potentially play with. Of course, there are things that discord doesn’t do that roll20 does.

But if I could point them at a free solution that could take the place of roll20, that might be a boon to the entire larger community.

Do you have any videos showing current gameplay? Or any intro videos showing how to use the system?

I'm still working through the paper which is fascinating and have only had a chance to glance it over so forgive me if I ask any questions that are answered in the paper.

I see lots of large timeframes of the data (20 years), but nothing about how much data that actually is. I'm not very familiar with this kind of data, but am curious about the software side and how much data was needed, timeframes for processing the data, any special hardware required, etc....

How much data did you start with (gigabytes? terabytes?)?

What does this data actually look like? csv, custom binary format, some open spec maybe?

How much did you end up filtering out for the various reasons in the paper?

Was there anything that surprised you personally while working on this paper? It seems like most of this is confirming existing theory which is great, but curious if you had any new take aways.

Does the team want to continue to pursue this? If so, what do they hope to accomplish or maybe there's some odd data / behavior that you would like to continue to look at?
I take long walks to listen to podcasts and get a bit of mild exercise.

File names are an interface used by normal people to name files. Teaching everyone to name their files differently seems unlikely to succeed.

There is no particular reason your shell can't distinguish between a space inside a filename and the space between tokens in output. The fact that you have to do anything at all yourself is a bug.
"Guy" and "guys" are not the same, at all. The s appended to the end, along with the context, drastically changes the semantic meaning of the word. This is how language works. Even an unchanged word can have totally different meanings depending on the context. You argument here is a strawman that ignores context to the point of pedantic absurdity.
> Instead of the theater hiring technical staff, they can now put that money towards a better overall movie-going experience (those times when glitches don't happen anyways).

Apparently they're not saving enough money, because a movie with a listed 8:00 showtime won't actually start rolling until 8:20 with all the ads they cram in there at the start. Sure hasn't made my movie-going experience any better.
It would, but it wouldn’t help with a lot of the scenarios in the article, which sound legal but potentially unreasonable. The property owner or owning entity does not have to suffer reputational damage for executing a legal but inhumane/distasteful eviction.
The results may be the same, but the situation that causes them is different in one crucial way:

The theater in question simply employed no one who had the capability to fix the problem (or at least, no one who was on site at that time).

Google employs many thousands of people, plenty of whom have the capability to fix problems that come up with accounts—they just choose to make them completely unavailable to users who have problems with their accounts.

Tax cuts are like drugs. Immediately after taking a hit things look and feel good but they won't last. Either you stop before they kill you and you get a hang over or you just keep upping your dose until it kills you. Eventually the piper gets paid.
I’m not making any claims about whether you generally hassle anyone so I don’t need any evidence about that in either direction. Either way, you are the first person I’ve talked to who doesn’t think “you guys” can refer to an audience of multiple genders. That certainly contradicts the overwhelming majority of usages of the phrase I’ve seen in my life.
My Dad was extremely good at talking to people. Too good sometimes, when it called for a short interaction it would become a longer one (still usually benefited him).

He had a saying I never liked about low wage workers who didn't understand what they were doing or have any power outside of their task:

"A system designed by geniuses, to be run by idiots"

... Might be a little harsh, but I think he was on to something. The workers in this article had no power to correct anything, they had no responsibly or opportunity to learn, the turnover is probably very high and coincides with semester starts/ends. They're allowed to be worthless when something goes wrong, maybe the author is right and some are even encouraged to be.

How many people have seen code that is written for "things only go wrong sometimes"? Yep, but when they do!
The fact people feel so strongly about this article, taking it as an apparent threat or attack, goes a long way to proving the intractability of the problem.
I’ve seen surprise bills not far off that, not from a viral hit, but from bugs in the firmware for connected devices which suddenly switched them from taking 1 action/10 minutes to 1 action/3 seconds. Needless to say firmware QA has become much more focused since that incident.
This example actually show the fundamental value of separating infrastructure from service.

Amazon's infrastructure (1 day delivery) is good and valuable, but their service (products, etc) are severely lacking. It would be beneficial, in the free market sense, for the government to break up Amazon, split out that infrastructure part make it rentable, and have the rest of Amazon compete with other providers to provide a service on top of this infrastructure.

Same goes for all natural monopolies (e.g. gas pipelines, optic fibre internet, rail, ...).
It’s not inclusive to force people to stop saying “you guys”, which is a midwestern thing. Different areas have a different words for the plural you, such as “you all” or “y’all” or “all y’all”. I grew up in Chicago and everyone said “you guys”, regardless of the group’s genders. I think it’s absurd the school would go after him for that.

Also, for English, new verbs and nouns are constantly made. Not pronouns. [0]

Also, the cheating thing is ridiculous, full stop. I’d have a hard time dealing with folks like that as well.

Digital and analog movies fail in different ways, but when a movie exhibited on film fails, normally there's not much the theater staff can do about it in time to keep on schedule anyway. I really don't see what most of this story has to do with "the future" -- going to the movies 15 years ago on a gift certificate when there's a projector problem probably has about the same outcome.

The problem with your argument is that you only know capitalism and communism and act like it's the end all of all economic ideas anyone could ever have.

What societal benefit does profit have? Is there a difference between profit put into research and profit put into dividends? What do you think benefits humanity more? High stock prices? High wages?

You talk about the lessons of the 20th century. You mean the golden times, when a single earner in a car factory could feed a family? When minimum wage had more buying power than today? When more people were unionized?
Or do you mean the lessons we learned in the 21st century? When an unleashed financial industry crashed the economy?

In today's economy the shareholder of a successful company can earn more in dividends than the workers who produce the wealth in wages. This is the issue. ROI on capital is higher than on work. Model the system, feed in this number and you will see it's unstable.

Disastrous consequences? Take a look at the US healthcare system - congrats for not having any socialism - you pay double than anyone else and have lower life expectancy. Awesome system.

> In my experience, once you get used to the interface, it's actually faster to just use the touchscreen to place the order.

Right, but in general, people don't. Sure, there are some people who will go to the same fast food place every day, and after a week will be able to input their order blindfolded, but that's not the norm.

The people who get used to the interface and end up incredibly efficient are the paid cashiers who input hundreds of orders for 8 hours each day.

Sure. But there's no reason why typing the spacebar on a GUI to input your filename should produce a file with a plain space on the filesystem. It could be a unicode non-breaking space, for example.

>> It's well-known that women are on average more social than men, more open to working with people than things, and less approving of solitary activities like being a traditional lone "rockstar coder".

And yet if this professor used a statement like that as an explanation for why fewer women code than men, he would suffer the consequences, name calling, and firing.
This is btw the smartest comment here. The key to economic stability and social progress is the balance of the return on capital to the return on work.

> Hard disagree. Inflation is affected by wages, but it's not a 1:1 relation

I am talking about "real wages" to avoid the gotchas associated with nominal wage and inflation definitions. I think this makes the controversy go away. When you extend the nominal wage growth beyond the productivity gains in real terms, any extra purchasing power from a nominal wage gain will have no real basis and thus instantly triggering inflation as defined for your specific personal definition by demographic and income.

Say if you are really rich, your personal consumer basket that defines your personal purchasing power (and your personal inflation) will be dominated by expensive luxury items and investments while regular food/medical price increases will not impact you at all because they are a small part of the basket. However if your "demographic" (that has similar personal consumer basket) wage increases there is nothing to stop the price increase on such goods. There are small exceptions, but we can ignore them for the most part.

When you break down the demographics into small enough micro-groups you can get rid of the guesswork about what is inflation and how it affects everybody on average. This way you should be able to see how the relationship between wages and inflation is really 1:1. It's indeed not 1:1 when you mix dissimilar baskets and work with averages.
