The Disney Renaissance and birth of DreamWorks animated studios during the 1990s and into the early aughts showed that this thinking was backwards and wrong. Commercial and critical success was built upon hiring big name Hollywood actors to lend their voices.

And some of them were exceptionally talented, like Robin Williams or Michael Meyers. Others, like Eddie Murphy, Gilbert Gottfried, Cameron Diaz - they were hired for their voice and their name on the billing. And it worked, it still works, and major productions today don't throw $100 million at a project without stars attached. That'd be crazy.
I operate a "electronically supplied services" hobby company, https://webhook.site, and I just didn't want to deal with VAT payments to individual EU member countries. So I switched from Stripe to Paddle, who handle all the VAT payments for me, take a fee and give me a lump sum. EU just has way too much bureaucracy for small-medium sized companies. I'm also using Patreon which is similar (they also handle VAT and subscriptions), but it seems most people prefer Paddle to Patreon.

Tangentially, I'd recommend everyone to stay away from Paypal. You will lose your money or your account sooner or later. Let someone else (like Paddle) handle Paypal payments and that risk.
Same question here but using iked on on linux
1000% this. We started using chargify before Stripe when there were very few options and they were cheap.

They increased pricing and added a bunch of features we dont use, plus our payment processor (DPS now Windcave) refuse to export our customer card data.

So for the past few years we are slowly migrating people away as they update their card details, but its been a frustrating experience.

Don't use Chargify or DPS/Windcave
Oura seems to be the most accurate at the moment, but only by a small margin, and that is mostly because it's the only one that uses also temperature to measure sleep (in addition to heartbeat and movement).

Detecting when person is asleep has become quite good, but there's still a lot of work to do in also detecting sleep stages. I would not trust any wearables deep sleep readings too much.
The method seems surprisingly effective for a lot of subs, but also bothers me.
Well, that analogy doesn’t hold. In this case the exploit is introducing something to your visual field that looks like an obstacle. Both humans and robots mimicking human vision will be susceptible to it.

If you look at the video in the article, they don’t just show line markings, but project a life-sized person on the road in the correct perspective for the driver eye height. Of course brightness is off, it has no volume, but I bet a horse 90% of drivers would stop if that projection showed up in front of them. In fact, it would be so easy to test this, that one wonders why they didn’t do just that in the study. A lot of people would even fall for the fake markings.

The real interesting bit in the study is the reaction time, which is only shown at the end of the video. Humans will not react to a stop sign that blinks in and out of existence, while for the computer it was there for long enough. Sounds totally fixable in software by introducing some kind of persistence parameters. And in the end, it only makes it harder to detect, but is fundamentally still the same attack as drawing STOP in chalk.

> those things you can always write it yourself

The idea of everyone repeating themselves over and over again seems to be almost desirable amongst the community. The concept of DRY is essentially dead as far Go is concerned.

Why exactly can the core team not write this tooling? Why should thousands of independent people do it all themselves to varying degrees? It's a laughable situation.
I remember it as a love story between a modern woman and a Neanderthal man.
You realize that one of the reasons the device feels so powerful is that it runs iOS. A 5x specified Mac Pro doesn’t have the feel of the iPad.
It's a nice list, but I believe there are two major faults in your comparison. The first is that LINQ supports "transducers" completely and by default for all enumerable collections. Its built in to the language and has been there from the start (almost 8 years before they were added to Clojure). Taking for example the top language from the list, Swift, as far as I know Swift doesn't support them. And my intuition is that many to most languages on the list there don't support that behavior by default. That's a fairly large difference.

The second is, if you're going to compare languages based on compactness of syntax, you can't write other languages using a compact fluent syntax, and then write c# with SQL and say the other languages are more compact.

LINQ comes with a compact fluent syntax and a verbose (but more familiar at the time and thus easier ramp) SQL syntax. The documentation when introducing concepts it used the SQL syntax. As anyone who has familiarity with the tools uses the fluent syntax. Yes you can say you used samples from the docs, but those are for teaching. You can't compare them to hand written code using a compact syntax. Use the flutent syntax for all both langs to do an accurate comparison.

I applaud the effort, but it's not an accurate comparison in it's current form.

Kinda surprised to hear that date, as the UK has a pumped hydro plant[1] which started construction in 1974 and opened in 1984; Tom Scott has a YouTube video about it[2]. It's not all underground, but the machinery is built into a hill and it pumps from a reservoir at the bottom up to the top when electricity is cheap, and is used as a fast-startup generator when demand is higher. Is it really more feasible to build the upper reservoir underground, than on top of, somewhere? Surely "on top of" is higher, easier to get to, easier to flatten, and much cheaper?

In that exchange, both sides agree that Carmon was referring to a poll whose details - even at the time of the exchange - were not publicly available on the net. Given that such finding would not contradict other polls of the time, it's quite possible that this is in fact what the poll found. So I'm not sure this exchange establishes what you think it does.

I do agree that readers should take into account possible biases of their sources.
I used my own metric that is based on jaccard similarity. Which in turn is based on "users who posted to X also posted to Y" metric.

That said, there are a few subreddits that are too popular and similarity results were too saturated (/r/videos, /r/funny, etc.) so I did a manual override by looking into most commonly mentioned other subreddits, and sometimes into `about` blurb of subreddit).

Please don't consider these recommendation as source of truth! It's just a fun way to discover other subreddits :).

I'm also very open to change this metric to something else - please let me know if you have any recommendations!

> You can whip up an invoice in Google docs or use a service like Wave or something for free.

The invoice is not the problem, handling taxes is. In most countries (I'm not an American) an Invoice means that you are self employed and that you should pay taxes on that part as self employed.

There are services around it that charge percentage of the transaction and I'm not sure will handle such small amounts.
I don't understand how this happens. Before I commit I always, always read through my the staged area. A simple git diff --staged (I have it aliased as gds) is enough. I've been able to prevent this kind of thing every single time it has happened both professionally and in my own personal projects.

You can pin a lock that's practically impossible to pick by permanently blocking when one attempts to pick them. Yes, the owner needs to drill the lock after such a picking attempt, but it prevents non-destructive entry.
This is a great analogy, as it actually has a name in magic circles! It's called the Too-Perfect theory.

The idea being that some tricks are "too perfect", so the only way to do it is obvious, or the solution the audience arrives at is one which makes it look easy, and thus they don't give you (the magician) any credit for it.
Mirroring what the sibling comment said, studios often spend almost as much on advertising as they do production. I've often heard studios "borrowing" advertising budget to pay named actors for production.

Disney's old plan was to hire past their prime actors. Starting around the 90s when Robin Williams did well for Aladdin, they started courting celebrities who are parents and want to make movies their kids can watch. Also, voice work is considered "easy" (voice actors will fight that connotation). No odd call times, make up, wardrobe, or flying to locations and staying in a hotel (Shrek had Mike Myers record some last-minute dialog inside a limo).
Same, although none today. I wonder if this lawsuit shut them up for now?
You can do a lot with pure js map, filter and apply:

https://medium.com/@aikeru/a-c-linq-to-javascript-translatio...
I haven't looked into it yet but I see quite a few projects thinking they can outsmart the big boys by tuning for either extremely specific use cases or very small benchmarks.

The bigger argument against JavaScript in my view is the way the language is so antithetical to every lesson you'd have thought the industry has learned - even Go is safer than JS and Go is designed like it's from the 70s
I’m interested in what performance problems you’re seeing. Maybe then I won’t fall into the same trap in the future.

Off the top of my head, the only possibility I see is allocating objects with `Select` or the like. If one can avoid that, the only overhead should be the predicate/selector method calls...?
I object to this paper title. The idea of unlearning is already well-known, given there are benchmarks and previous results mentioned in the abstract. This paper introduces a new model and gets good performance but doesn't deserve to be named after the whole field.

Why not? structure can be different, example: shallow vers. deep. That both have some structure, that in both it's the same structure and that it is expressed in the same way.

I did not claim that it is the same thing.

You look for reasons not to learn it. You already KNOW that it will take years and will show no result.

That makes little sense. After long and intense training lots of things look easy: juggling, flying a helicopter, ...

Unfortunately you haven programmed in Lisp and thus you have no idea about how difficult it would be to learn it.

I have also learned first to code in hex codes, assemblers, BASIC, Pascal, Modula, etc. Still I can read Lisp code just fine.

You believe it, before even tried to learn Lisp and understand the difference.

You believe that a hammer is difficult to use, but you have only seen one, not hammered with it.

Tried inlets but wasn’t sure of reliability and it didn’t have a set price; figured out a way to replicate this with WireGuard.

Also kind of annoying that every endpoint needs an entire new instance. I’m serving millions of requests every week or so on a single gcp instance.

However, given my inexperience in Kubernetes(when I was using it) it was pretty neat to see clear endpoints, so for that I’d use it (minus caddy).
Semi random question.

Is this related to the refractivity of the near surface atmosphere above the waters surface affecting directionality and bandwidth?
If I'm not mistaken (I didn't worked in Swift for a while) Swift doesn't have proper generators. For each projection or filtering Swift will create a new array, while C#/Linq will use generators to make one really long state machine that saves memory.

I am afraid when we start adding gmail specific features at certain point google makes compatibility breaking change and becomes email. The people not using gmail will have to start because of network effect and email died.
There seems to be an assumption that the skill of creating fire was discovered once. Knowledge gets lost; and over a 250,000 year period it's pretty likely that even something as important as this may be lost a few times / maybe only to some groups at a time. If you prove that one group of Neanderthals didn't make fire that's not the same as proving that no Neanderthals knew how to create fire.
Just yesterday I was looking at tinc [1] and wireguard was mentioned briefly. I'd like a way to access my home computers via ssh to keep them updated via ansible, even if they are on different networks (parents' laptops, my laptop, my raspberry servers, etc).

Your entire comment suggests you didn't bother to read the project docs? These are Microsoft's MSDN C# 101 LINQ Examples, I did not write the C# LINQ Examples, Microsoft did, to show how to use LINQ. The languages are a comparison to their docs, I'm not rewriting their C# examples, otherwise it couldn't be called "C#'s 101 LINQ Examples in ....".

LINQ is the query language that's used in the 101 LINQ Examples, it's not the "compact fluent syntax" you're referring to of calling IEnumerable<T> extension methods directly, that's not the "Language-Integrated Query" that LINQ stands for, the purpose of Microsoft LINQ Examples was to showcase how to use LINQ.

The purpose of each language comparison was to achieve the same result of each example, but in the idiomatic style of that language.

When questioned, Lieber said he had never even heard of the “One Thousand Talent” program, yet he was earning a significant amount of money from that program. Moreover, the money he was paid was deposited into a Chinese bank account and given to him in cash.

That's exactly what I am complaining about: it is designed badly, I didn't ask for this and I can't turn it off.. I didn't ask for this, and still can't turn it off.

On the other hand, Google does even worse: sometimes it requires 2FA with SMS when I have specifically turned it off, knowing I'll be abroad without SMS connectivity. Still, Google doesn't give a shit on disabled settings and still demands 2FA auth on connects from previously unused addresses. The only reliable way to circumvent this is to use a VPN with a fixed address, so Google always thinks it's a 'same' location.

> The more powerful our languages get[...], the easier it will be to compile languages from one language to another

I'm not sure about this. Don't languages get their power from restrictions and opinionatedness, that create a fundamental impedance mismatch between any languages that aren't redundant? You can do anything the processor can do in assembly, and the unstructured mass is about as powerful as muscle with no bone.

But maybe I'm reading "powerful" too positively. As languages get kitchen-sinky, as JavaScript/C++/Java are with reckless abandon, it will be easier to use them as translation targets (and harder to reason about the results). But won't kitchen-sinky languages eventually give way to languages that haven't yet had time to tie themselves in knots, as C++ (which finished the kitchen and is now putting a second sink in the bathroom) is losing ground to Rust (which only just bolted on async), in an endless cycle of collapse and renewal?
Again, this is a failure of imagination, believing that unions are inevitably shaped like the unions of the past. As tech is founded on disruption and innovation, it is defeatism to assume that worker relationships have to be a certain way- especially when there are models of unions and management having a less antagonistic relationship, as in Germany.
