> the US stance in rule of law seems a bit dubious as well

I think I agree with where you're coming from with this statement, but not necessarily with it being a negative attribute.

Yes, the US is "a nation of Laws, not of Men". That only goes so far, though. Pretty much all of the US system is set up to allow individuals to apply the law in a way that they feel to be fair. This is manifested in everything from prosecutorial discretion to jury nullification.

> the enormous sentences afflicted to people once, but only once, they end up in bad public standing

The US Constitution specifically prohibits laws that apply directly to individuals, i.e. "Bills of Attainder". In theory at least, public opinion should inform the laws that apply to everyone equally. Those laws may be capricious and draconian, but the whole idea of the American system is that laws should represent the will of the people. The absurdity of some of our laws (sentencing in particular) is nothing if not a reflection of that.

> the president pardoning his friends

This isn't an unlimited power; the president is subject to oversight by Congress. That is the implicit rationale behind the impeachment process being very loosely defined:

Article II, Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Basically, "other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" means whatever Congress says it means. If they believe the President has abused their power through improper pardons, they can respond by impeaching and convicting them. This not only removes them from office but also bars them from public office in perpetuity.

Note also that the president only has the power to pardon federal crimes. They have no power to pardon someone convicted under state law.

> elected states attorneys incentivize to look hard on crime to their constituents

That's pretty much the nature of US law - "by the People, for the People". If a prosecutor is overzealous, then ostensibly that's the will of the people who elected them. If not, they're free to vote them out of office during the next election in favor of someone who will act in accordance with their wishes. In extreme cases there is usually (always?) a process in place for elected officials to be recalled immediately and a special election held for their replacement.

As a disclaimer, the above is representative of my understanding of US law; it's how I would explain what is, not what I believe should be.

FWIW: 64 entries isn't particularly small for a dTLB, IIRC that's exactly the size on current Intel cores. The real problem is that device DMA, unlike software behavior, is distressingly non-local. The device will stream out a packet or storage block and then never touch that memory again (or not for a very long time -- memory buffers are huge relative to bandwidth on these things). The TLB just doesn't do you much good.

Federal laws are written by people with an agenda: lobbyists, LEO, etc. - seldom by "popular support."

You can see that in the intransigence of Feds to re-schedule substances, and the related divergence of state and federal laws.
I accidentally shifted from mostly night to mostly day, by starting to sleep with my curtains open. I sleep in a room with a large south facing window right near me, and a good sized east facing window not too far away.

I found that this resulted in my naturally waking up refreshed near sunrise.

I also found that I started doing segmented sleep [1], as was common in pre-industrial times. As with getting up near sunrise, this was not intentional. It just happened.

I tried using connecting to my old account to check out the app after 4 years but I was asked for ID verification, which for some reason failed, in order to be able to do anything. I can't close my account since there's a 20 eurocent balance on it, so it probably still counts as a "customer" account even though I can't use it in any way.

Not quite.

In FPS, aiming moving and ducking are like learning how to move the pieces in chess. And sure, those are the basics to even play.

But when people talk about "fundamentals" they are talking about the emergent things that come from those skills and are usually unique to the game. In chess, this is stuff like don't hang your pieces, tactics like spotting skewers or forks, understanding endgames, and later general strategic goals like controlling the center or develop your pieces to "good" squares.

In FPS games, this often deals with understanding the flow of a map (choke points vs open areas, cover and sniper locations), proper navigation (efficient pathing!), role synergy, and how a match develops (at about 30 seconds I should expect an opponent, if they went straight path A, to show up around this corner).

MOBA games moving and attacking and using a skill are the language. Fundamentals involve map awareness, ganking, vision control, wave management, etc.

Fighting games move, jump, attack, block is the language. Understanding zone control, the Rock-Paper-Scissors of strike/block/grapple, how to manage your health and special meters, character movesets/matchups are the fundamentals. Picking character X against player Y is the meta.

Once you have all of that squared away, you can start doing "meta." That is figuring out optimal picks vs particularly optimal setups, researching your opponent to build a specific toolkit against them, etc.

I think this needs to be considered in more detail, because those numbers are different than the accounts published by the BBC, and one of the ways there were cuts was having more things added to the responsibilities. For example, the BBC wasn't paying £75M/year for S4C before, but it is now.

I'm also not quite sure on the over 75s licenses being marked as "cut a little bit"

> The compensation paid to the BBC by government for the current 4.55 million free TV licences (introduced in 2000) is being phased out in three steps – falling from £655m in 2017-18 to £468m in 2018-19 and a final £247m payment in 2019-20. At that point, the value of the free licences could be £725m.

https://rts.org.uk/article/tony-hall-calls-increased-funding...

That's huge drop unless those numbers have changed, but even the plan of charging some for the license put the figure at near £250M. Combined with the S4C change that's, what, over 10% of your figure as a cut without converting to real terms.

I have two hands, but also have tendonitis in my right thumb, so I've been training myself to use my phone left handed. The first thing I tried was a smaller phone, but I'm also old and my eyes suck. Now I'm on a large phone (Note 8), and I'm not going back. The trick was to get a phone with (a) one-handed mode (entire UI shrinks to left side of screen), (b) a floating camera button (that I can position anywhere on the screen), and (c) a Lovehandle, or similar accessory, so I can confidently hold my phone in my left hand. Just some things to consider for your relative's needs.
I was really excited about SwiftUI after having done a lot of React development recently. The declarative style is so much nicer than the MVC/procedural code that regular UIKit code becomes.

After 30 minutes of updating Xcode I was able to start writing SwiftUI code. Then another 2 hours upgrading our Swift project to the latest version of Swift. I googled for documentation, found barely anything and the code samples on developer.apple.com were already outdated. I finally got something up and running, but _nothing_ in the semantics worked as expected. Getting a button to render nicely was insanely complex (which view should have the background color? font? trying different things didn't work at all). Oh and recompiling took a minimum of 30 seconds each time.

All this prompted me to finally give react-native a try. In under 15 minutes I had a working example. After making a change I saved the file, alt-tabbed to the simulator and the changes were already applied. And it works instantly on Android, I can try it out on my phone using expo without any hassle.

I just can't comprehend if and how Apple will catch up with that experience?

> dismissing this as "Works as intended" seems to me to be breathtaking arrogance.

I really don't like your arrogant dismissal. I've tried to understand the issue, after three articles it's still unclear.

But let's step back for a second. How would you expect it to work? How could anyone else be at fault than the one posting the link on public web sites (and it doesn't look like it's WhatsApp).

Say, I'm posting a link to your LinkedIn profile here on Hacker News. How do you propose that LinkedIn(!) stops following other people that link to your profile?

Assuming you didn't want to have that posted, wouldn't you take umbrage with me? What mechanism do you expect WhatsApp to implement to make sure that

(a) a link can be followed by the right people, after sharing it publically

and (b) the link cannot be followed by the wrong people

and (c) the link is enough to enter the group, so no password, because that#s the whole point of that feature – and a password would be shared just alongside the link anyway.
Not all ISPs around the world have the resources to do that. It also doesn't have to be 100%, we just have to make it difficult (or more expensive) and that helps.
When my sleeping issues were at their worst, having the pills knock me out for a night or two meant I felt tired the following nights and got normal sleep. And just having the pills really helped with the mental aspect. I knew that if I had a bad night it wasn’t going to turn into months long ordeal.

I really need to learn CL one of these days; I know Clojure reasonably well, and enough Lisp-Flavour-Erlang, Chicken Scheme, and Racket to be dangerous, but for some reason I seem to have completely avoided CL.

I think you are talking about a different domain than the author. The author is talking about writing plumbing code - the parts where everything is reusable and multipurpose. In contrast, you seem to be focusing on the business logic portion of the domain where all complexity is necessary.

In the reusable abstraction space, what you're talking about just doesn't happen. There aren't bugs that need to be hunted down by careful inspection in these things because the methods described in the article are sufficient to catch them. They'll fail to type check or have obvious flaws of the sort -Wall catches.

In the business logic domain, there is a lot more room for errors that can't be caught by those approaches. But code in that domain also can't be written like this in the first place, so it's kind of a strange criticism to say "the code I can't write like this contains bugs that are hard to track down when I try to write it like this."

I can sense one additional objection coming: "If this isn't for business logic, what value is it? I write business programs."

To that, I would answer that most programs are stuffed full of redundant non-business logic, and you don't even realize how bad it is. It took roughly 30 years of c-like languages for people to be fully on-board with the idea that 3-clause for loops are error-prone boilerplate separate from the business logic and worth abstracting out.

If you use Haskell enough you'll realize a lot of your code in most languages is there to fiddle with implementation details instead of working over the actual problem space. A lot of Haskell code takes the form of super-generic abstraction plumbing bits that serve to isolate a common pattern and make sure the edge cases are covered.

Those bits of code are the ones usually called "impossible to understand", which are fully described by their types, and which can be implemented with this approach.

>Is the law as written somehow vulnerable to some legal hack where all my revenue goes through Company A but all my data goes through Company B, so that Company B has a small global revenue despite being extremely profitable to the controllers of the companies?

No. Who the data controllers are is a matter of fact, not assignment.

To quote the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Fashion ID case (C‑40/17) at paragraph 68:

"[A] natural or legal person who exerts influence over the processing of personal data, for his own purposes, and who participates, as a result, in the determination of the purposes and means of that processing, may be regarded as a controller".

Furthermore, as per that case, multiple data controllers may exist for some processing activities.

So both Company A and Company B may be considered to be Data Controllers and thus both liable.

Does F# offer this 'type hole' thing?

I admit I still like to let a type instance and then fill in its members with calculated values, database reads etc. but since I'm nice and C#rrupted I don't do it the idiomatic/right way, whatever that way is, I let a mutable type instance then modify and return it to whoever called the function.

If only we had a distributed system that would let you work off a local server.
If you think that about the first example in this blog post, then I think you're looking at the wrong part. This is code within a library that does one specific abstract thing. The term-level isn't important - look at the type signature.

I am familiar with free monads/extensible effects, so I know the idioms at play in that 1-argument function. We're taking an extensible effect, "peeling" State off it (this is an idiom of EEs) and returning the rest of the effects within StateT. I can now this is a way to interop between the State effect in the effect stack & the StateT monad transformer. I don't give 2 shits about the implementation - I can use this to solve my problems just fine.

EDIT: HAHA - I just realized that this function is called "hoist" which is exactly the name I would've given it based on common Haskell idioms. I didn't even read the name - just the type. That's the essence of Haskell :)

are you referring to a control protocol or a magical signal path effect?

you could always do what you described since at least 20 years now, as MIDI need not describe your synths parameters controls

the issues with MIDI are not so much dynamics as timing resolution. 7 bits of dynamics might not sound like much but I'm not confident in any known musicians ability to express dynamics with more than 127 discrete levels lol...

timing resolution of MIDI is great for more quantized musical styles, but for accurately capturing nuanced rubato performances this is the area that needs to be improved.

the primary issue with timing in physical MIDI interfaces is timing STABILITY.
this is arguably worse on a modern Mac with CoreMIDI than on an Atari 1020ST...
This is directly a product of scheduler vagaries and even firmware. MIDI should be locked to the sample clock, perhaps updating as often as once a buffer or even less...
(there was even a recent Macbook Pro that had it's audio clock jittering all over the place due to a power-management IC hardware rev, aka you can't download an update to fix THAT one, but I digress...)
Agreed. Since a bunch of people seem to be responding to you about competitive games/experiences, my friend left me with the following pointer when he gave me a lengthy rundown on 2D fighters (cleaned up a bit for HN posting): "Tech and meta aren't things to chase after because they're things that come with learning fundamentals. You practice fundamentals until you die". It was like that when I was playing Quake, when I was playing Team Fortress 2, CounterStrike, etc., and it was like that when I was playing Starcraft.
Interestingly, this early=virtue thing goes back more than a century. Before electric light, the common sleeping mode was in two chunks, first and second sleep. Moralizing busybodies, kin to the anti-alcohol movement, decided that second sleep was self-indulgent and unnecessary. The history podcast Backstory had a great set of segments on sleep a while back: https://www.backstoryradio.org/shows/on-the-clock-4/

Even as an early riser, I think the virtue part is horseshit. Not everybody has to be the same. Indeed, my (entirely unsupported) theory is that sleep schedule variation is natural and useful. In the wild, it's safer for everybody if somebody is always awake keeping an eye on things.
You can also observe this in the opposite form: how hard it is to get laws that people want but special interests oppose.
