I've long admired Clayton Christensen. My wife had the guts to ask his secretary to put me on his calendar. She did, and I got 15 minutes of his time. It was a surprise call, so when he was on the other end of the line, the best I could do was compliment him for the work he's done and his books (How will you measure your life, in particular).

He was so kind to take the time, and so genuine. That he would take the time to chat with a complete stranger for a few minutes has been one of the most important things I've learned from him, notwithstanding his books, talks, and theories.
On iOS it’s not a small inconvenience to use Signal. For several years now, Signal has prohibited backing up chats. So if you switch phones or get a new phone or lose your phone, all your previous chats are permanently lost. Even re-joining the chat groups you were a part of requires more work, and after that there are issues in not seeing the group name, the members and related things. Signal is just ok as an ephemeral messenger, but it’s not a solution or a replacement of any kind for the other messaging platforms that work as one would expect them to and provide key features that lay people appreciate. Going by the pace of development, my view is that it’ll be a good enough alternative in a decade.

There are also other basic issues with Signal (message deliverability, buggy and spurious “device number changed” notifications, etc.).

Note that I do use Signal and advocate it, but I do that with only certain people so that I don’t burn my personal “relationship capital” unnecessarily with a poor solution.
I've noticed that muted words don't mute ads. I've muted words like "blockchain", "bitcoin", and "Ethereum" and yet I still see ads for blockchain startups. Shouldn't the fact that I went out of my way to mute a word be a strong signal that I am not a good match for an ad??

I really recommend just forcing yourself to use it for a week or so. You just have to switch your mindset to the opening paren being a control character for starting an expression. I just don't look at the parens at all when I work with Clojure.
Thanks for that, I wasn’t fully aware of the history of ML! Very interesting (and very impressive that this is just one of Milner’s contributions).

I started with Haskell, where the main influence besides ML was Miranda. (If I remember correctly, Haskell was only created because Miranda was proprietary; similar to BitKeeper and Git.) I guess Miranda’s main innovation was lazy evaluation. That has certainly been influential but outside Haskell I don’t think it’s ever had widespread adoption in the same way as ML-style typing and type inference.

* Every responsible programming language designer could have taken on board ML's lessons sincen, and it's an interesting historical question why this did not happen.*

Agreed! But maybe it is happening, it’s just that it’s taken 30 years instead of the 5 or 10 one might have expected?

That's not obvious. Here are some countries with higher estimated GDP per capita than China:

Some of us still recall when code reviews were more of a concept than a practice you actually did at work every day.

One of the (unspoken?) tenets of XP is that if you can't have code reviews, break your code into small enough bits that you are comfortable defending each decision individually (rather than rafting them up and trying to get through 10 lines of gold and 20 lines of crap). The blast radius is tiny, and you can't as easiely confuse yourself into thinking buggy code is fine.

So there was a time where "how to do code reviews" meant "how do you cause code reviews to occur", not "what processes should you incorporate into your reviews". Maybe OP is caught in a time warp.
To be fair, I am into TV shows politics sports and religion and have a hard time finding people who are thinking about and discussing these things in a way that I appreciate.

You can modify the reader to do that but then you can also just write Python.
If you wrote function applications as `f(foo bar)`, then spaces between identifiers and parentheses would be semantically-significant. Putting a space between `f` and the first parenthesis in the aforementioned expression would produce an invalid expression. Similarly, doing the same with `g(baz f(foo bar))` would result in `g(baz f (foo bar))` which is an application of g to 3 arguments, second of which is the procedure bound to f, whereas in the original expression it was an application of g to 2 arguments, second of which was the result of application of f to two arguments. I don't think such sensitivity to whitespace would result in comfortable code editing when you move code around.
Intel's main problem with mobile was that they saw x86 as a big potential incumbent advantage given their dominance on desktop and server. Which if they could have made competitive x86 mobile chips would probably have been an absolutely correct observation. But they couldn't even though they kept plugging away past the point of no return.

I saw Intel presentations during the mid-2000s or so where they were making a big deal about how x86 processors had fewer issues with Flash than other architectures did.

That was not "the media is lying". Miller used Bush administration sources and confirmed with an Iraqi source that turned out to be the source of the Bush info. Its disputed whether she was misled by one or both of these sources or perhaps one of the sources misled the other. That the administration would rely on this reporting, rather than their own CIA which was calling it into question, is a reflection on their deception not the media's.

It was bad reporting that was compounded by the editors not pushing back, as the article you cite goes on to say.
Our culture and our algorithms value quantity. It's the same reason why so many YouTube videos are now mostly fluff. We assume a video greater than 20 minutes or a book that's over 100 pages is worth something. But a simple essay or booklet can be worth their weight in gold.

From reading the docs and the source, it's not a proxy. It looks like it uses https://github.com/pretenderjs/pretender , which overwrites the original `XmlHttpRequest` and `fetch` functions in the browser to intercept any attempts to make AJAX requests. It then makes your attempted request with its own internal routing definitions, and returns the responses you defined.
It sounds like the common reply regarding Reddit quality and toxicity as well.

Don't visit the front pages, stay in the curated sub-reddits.

I think it is good advice but the low-quality and the toxicity of the front/main pages still inevitably ends up bleeding into the smaller channels.

And the fault is still on Reddit/Twitter themselves because they aren't/can't ever de-emphasize those main top-level channels, as that's their main audience and so that's where they make money in advertising.

Great question! When I started Mirage this was the biggest concern, but after years of usage it turns out to not be that big of a deal in practice. Said another way, the benefits of being able to easily write high-level UI tests for a variety of server states all within your frontend codebase outweigh the costs of potential false positives. Also, teams don't break their HTTP APIs that often.

Even so, there are teams that have used tools like Pact to perform contract testing, ensuring their Mirage server and their production API never fall out of sync. Even more exciting to me would be using something like Typescript to verify the API contract at compile-time (also something that others have been exploring).

As far as only running Mirage during development, the Ember addon does this but we need to document how to do this in the general case. When you build your app for production Mirage should not be in any application code, nor should the miragejs library be included in your bundle. Webpack is capable of this, we just need to document it.

Mirage is flexible enough to match any backend API – this is where it shines in comparison to tools like json-server. With Mirage the goal is to mock out your exact production API; its serializers and route handlers can be customized to match any API format. Often teams using Mirage reach agreement about the shape of their API beforehand, precisely so that the frontend team can move and build the UI without having to wait on the API to be ready.

Indeed, Mirage can even be thought of as a communication tool that helps impose conventions and consistency on the API layer, making both the frontend developers and the backend developers happier.

I would say that r/exmormon may not be the best indication of the faith as the whole, as it is essentially the equivalent of a product review site where people with the the biggest axes to grind congregate and create bit of a bubble that is out of touch with reality, much like other subs that are essentially devoted to the dislike of or dissatisfaction with something like r/atheism, r/fuckepic, r/redpill, etc. That isn't to say there aren't valid individual experiences there. But they aren't reflective of the overall experience for most, even though they get painted that way.

A large portion of my Mormon friends fall on the spectrum of belief that would range from "less devout" to "completely lapsed", and none of them have had issues with the church as an organization or with individuals. But as such they don't really care or look for communities of disaffected ex-mormons for support, so their perspectives aren't heard.

For me it's while it's at its peak. I personally use IR as opposed to XR. This was because I personally have a high propensity for insomnia (to the point that if I have coffee after like 2 or 3 PM I risk not sleeping). So I essentially am prescribed to take it twice a day but rarely go for the second dose. If I do take the second dose I have an insanely productive day but often get no sleep.

Back to the topic of the irritability/temper, yeah it's basically when it's active. Afterwards I'm a bit tired but otherwise totally kosher. For context, I am also on a very low dose of 5 mg. 10mg starts putting me on "talk really fast, move really fast" sort of stimulant buzz. 20mg was utterly uncomfortable. IIRC the higher doses exacerbated the positives and negatives: even better focus, even less patience, even shorter temper.
I think you can also get around this same stuff by just creating a tweetdeck and creating a column for people you follow.
With an omnidirectional antenna, sure. With a high-gain antenna, no. The attacker could entirely avoid the RFEye or AIRPORT-SHIELD. The attacker could pick a specific aircraft to pester, with no other aircraft able to listen.

Add some fancy voice synthesis, and it gets interesting. The attacker could clone the voice and style of the air traffic controller. The attacker could provide enough power to quiet out any other transmissions. To keep the air traffic controller incompletely aware, the attacker could provide interference (just to the tower) whenever the victim aircraft begins to transmit.
Yesterday Twitter started showing me "someone you don't follow replied to another person you don't follow" types of conversations and it's gotten really absurd at this point.
Wow. I actually didn't know that there was any law or regulation that even in theory could make Google do this at least in the USA.

But then again, this is the same FTC that has proven unable for decades to rein in the MLM industry, whose blatant scamminess makes Google look like a Boy Scout. So I am over here not holding my breath at all that they will ever draw a line. Google will just keep making that "Ad" label smaller and smaller and fainter and fainter, and the FTC will do nothing other than maybe extracting a tiny fine in a settlement every 10 years or something.
I had a very quick look. How is this different from Slack and how does it avoid the incessant notifications/interruptions/noise problem in Slack and similar platforms?
> Surgical masks are a good compromise for going out in public, and mostly protect others from the mask-wearer.

Under this model, if everyone panics and wears masks to prevent themselves from getting sick, the spread of the disease will be crippled because everyone's wearing masks and people who are sick can't infect anyone else. It's a great idea.

This isn't really different from the herd immunity model of vaccination, where a lot of individuals getting vaccinated return a huge bonus to society in the form of herd immunity. If herd immunity were the only benefit, would we still want people to get vaccinated? Of course, that's why it's supposed to be mandatory.

And yet the sad conclusion is that even though that hire lied on his resume he might very well be an excellent match for that job given he passed the interviews and everyone seemed to love him.

If I was the CEO (author of the blog) I would ask myself why I put so many artificial barriers. Why does it matter that he got a similar position for the job if he was going to be good at it anyways?

I'm getting mad at all of those artificial gatekeepers that like to also play victim because "there are not enough talents out there".

Yes that guy lied on his resume and therefore should not be hired (and he should be shamed). But this CEO should also realize that his artificial gate-keeping is the reason why people feel the need to lie.

You never spent much time with it and the parens are a major impediment? If you cannot overcome the "parens" (non) issue, I suppose the language is not for you. It really is not an issue, _at all_.

I don't say this to be demeaning! I would say there are far more chances you really enjoy the language than not. Give it a try and stop worrying about the parenthesis and start thinking in terms of an AST.

If you want Python that's fine but there is definitely no problem with parens in Lisp/Scheme :)

Yes, perhaps I was too subtle but the point of my comment was that (from what I have heard) virtually all small B&M businesses evade taxes when they're starting out.

I don't think it's coincidence that all the cashless businesses I've seen are for higher-end (and presumably higher-margin) products. Customers buying a $15 sandwich don't care about cash transactions because the difference between $15 and $17 is meaningless to them. They never pay cash anyway.
The LDS Church put its "racist" past behind itself fairly easily because the "Mark of Cain" canard was trivial to dismiss as misinterpretation.

"The illegal vendor has much, much higher costs and isn't in a position to charge lower prices."

I disagree. Illegal vendors don't have to follow labor laws (they can get much cheaper labor), regulations (they aren't limited by the rules imposed by their state/city), and taxation (they aren't paying extra taxes on top of their current costs).

All of these equal lower prices. The legal market will almost never be able to complete with the illegal market, for these very reasons.

"But California chose to impose ludicrously high compliance costs on the legal vendors,"

We were told that when MJ was legalized, all illegal vendors would go away and the state would see a boost in tax revenue. Where do you think this extra tax revenue comes from?

Don't drug users want to pay their 'fair share' That I keep hearing about? The reality is they don't really care about paying any taxes and just want their drugs at the cheapest price. The current state of illegal sales clearly shows this.

The phrase dead white male (abbreviated DWM), has been used since the mid-1980s as a term of disparagement for male authors and academics of European ancestry whose pre-eminence, especially in academic study, is challenged as being disproportionate to their cultural significance, and attributed to a historical bias in favour of their gender and ethnicity.
