First, it’s not free money, loans have to be paid back.

Ok let’s use a smaller number. Bezos owns 55M shares of Amazon trading at $2,400 a share, worth $132B. He borrows $30B for his rocket company secured by those shares. His borrowing agreement will require the shares backing those loans maintain a minimum equity value, let’s say 50%.

Amazon drops over 50% to $1000 per share, dropping his shares value to $55B, breaching that agreement. His broker will immediately sell a few million shares to maintain his agreed equity ratio. What happens to Amazons shares when a few million hit the market in a short period?

Amazon plunges below $500, so broker is forced to sell a few million more to try to maintain that equity, driving Amazon into the low hundreds, leading to the sale of more shares, etc, etc. Eventually they dump the remainder of his shares for under $100/each just to try to recoup the last of the $30B.

He started with full control of his company, and a $130B net worth, he leaves with no shares, no control, and $30B in cash.

This scenario is a little tortured, but it is likely a big reason why Bezos sells shares to raise funds for BO. Borrowing risks giving a disinterested party the right to dump your shares at a fraction of their value due to an entirely short term event.
> This can be a worthy trade-off for readability in certain cases, but in hot paths...

Hot paths aren’t the common case. You should always default to the more readable syntax (map/filter) and then refactor once you’ve determined where your bottlenecks are.

Transducers are also an option to get the map/filter syntax without losing and performance, but I think most will unfortunately shy away from those.

I do agree that reduce is over used. Reducers as a pattern is really powerful (with transducers), but no one uses them right.
Well simply because I don't believe that to be a good faith interpretation, but more of a snarky question, since you asked.

Thank you! A very welcome thread. It's been very interesting to watch children during this current period of restriction... to see both their internal robustness (in some ways improved, I think, by the lack of constant ephemeral stimulation) and also how they respond to the cultural memes and currents.

E.g. as the author notes:
"I think the most important thing that emerges is the influence that adults try to have on children. Even nowadays, in a subtler way, adults try to mold children and make them adapt to the society they live in."
I wanted to like snaps (and flatpaks before then), because trying to ease packaging and deployment of apps on Linux is a noble goal, but in both cases I eventually gave up on non-trivial use of them because they were always broken in some annoying way because of their sandboxing.

The latest snap I had to get rid of was Visual Studio Code, because I was trying to work on an open source game with it, and I found out that if I launched the game from inside Visual Studio Code, my game wouldn't play sounds because it couldn't communicate with PulseAudio, and attempting to use ALSA just straight up gave me an error.

On the other hand, I've only had positive experiences with AppImage. Gives you an all-in-one image that you can directly execute if you like, and no sandboxing nonsense.
This might be off topic, and certainly unimportant, but I never liked underscores in language keywords. For example if your C++ style guide calls for camelCase identifiers these look jarring. Any reason why the designer didn't just introduce three keywords "cast" "dynamic" "reinterpret" instead? Note that "static" and "const" are already keywords.
Lenovo laptops are the worst. Worst touchpads ever, poor keyboard lettering. Don't buy them.
Yeah, the examples are too simple.

Things can get tricky if you start modifying the container you're iterating, especially with deletions. OTOH iterators can make this impossible (e.g. through borrowing in Rust) or at least detect "iterator invalidation" at runtime.

In certain programs it's also easy to modify the container by accident, e.g. if you call a function that triggers an event that indirectly modifies your container.

If you do arithmetic on iteration variable, especially if the loop body has conditionals, then it's harder to follow the code, and easier to make off-by-one errors or infinite loops.

Not every loop is clearer with iterators, but some idioms like `.filter()` or `.any()` are clearer and even shorter to write.

CoinJanitor: The Shitcoins’ Highlander Out to Kill All Your Shitcoins
The fact that Amazon can argue they don’t do this with a straight face tells me that they have no fear of regulators and feel confident they can get away with just lying about it.

Any observant Whole Foods shopper can see this happening over the arc of weeks and months. New products from small brands show up on the shelves at Whole Foods. If they sell quickly, it’s only a matter of time before a Whole 365 knock off shows up in the exact same spot on the shelf with similar packaging and a lower price. The predecessor brand is relegated to a low visibility location nearby, and eventually disappears altogether. They don’t even try to hide this practice, they just say they don’t do it.
Yes, but there's a tragedy of the commons effect here.
In what way am I in the wrong? I did not claim and do not believe that there is only one level of 'forced'. No one here is making it out to be that way.

Edit: Just because there is a range of accepted meanings for the word 'forced' doesn't mean that all uses of the word 'forced' are correct. Even with the most low key interpretations of the word 'forced', I don't think that this is in any way the correct word for this situation.
I don’t buy that, the explicit version has more syntax to type but no less decisions to make. In the terse version you still need to map and select, you have to make those decisions, you have to do them in the right order and you still have to get the criteria in the lambda correct.

One hides the loop (potentially doing more work because of it) and one doesn’t.

I wonder how much of that is because they are out vs it's just a lot more efficient to send it by the pallet to grocers instead of one bag at a time to end users.

I've seen this in other industries too - manufacturers will sell retail direct when times are "normal" because it's easy profit and they can fulfill out of "slack in the system". But when demand skyrockets they lack the slack energy to deal with retail-direct, so they just send everything through distribution.
Worthing actually reading the article.

NSO Group isn't like Cozy Bear -- it's not a code name for an unknown probable nation-state APT. It's an Israeli company that sells hacking tools used by the Saudis (among others).

NSO Group was "tied to America" in a legal sense relevant to WhatsApp's lawsuit. There's no implication that it was, like, secretly the NSA or something. Just that this Israeli company rented US-based servers from a US-based company, and this invalidates some legal defenses they're using to fight WhatsApp's lawsuit.

> By requiring others to do that for you and paying them pennies for what value they're providing.

The median wage of an Amazon Warehouse worker is about $60,000 / year, which is above the median wage in the US[1]. The 25th-percentile wage for the same worker is $53,000 — still higher than the median wage, and this is an entry level position that requires no college eduction.

Amazon also provides 401(k) matching for their warehouse workers and provides them the same group health insurance as their software engineers and executives[2][3]. It is quite possibly the most generous set of benefits currently available to an entry-level low-skill worker with no college education.

> I'd agree with you if the company decided to not take profit during this time and paid the employees the same amount of value they produce.

Couple things: 1) I think you're overestimating how much profit Amazon makes on its retail business; the margins are razor thin. 2) profit is just the cost of labor for the managers, I.e. the people that are coordinating the labor and calling the high-level shots. This includes coming up with the policies and systems to ensure the company can continue to operate in the midst of a global pandemic.

Finally, Amazon employed 798,000 people as of 2019, and added 100,000 new jobs in the last month alone, with 50,000 current openings outstanding. A lot of the margin goes into literally providing all of these wages and benefits for nearly 1 million people. This is more than many industrialized nations.

AppImages are definitely the best, I just wish they had an easier way to integrate with the system.

That's exactly what I said:

> Transducers are also an option to get the map/filter syntax without losing and performance

All you need are iterators. Python, Rust, Haskell, most languages support performing these functions with iterators. There are even iterator libraries for JS, if you don't mind an extra dependency. But vanilla JS does not support this.
Making visible to outsiders what software development teams are doing, and making progress (or it's lack) visible to management. I thinks that's a completely reasonable expectation.

The devil is in the details and in this case literally because the granularity of progress is too fine-grained to be exposed away from its context. The project manager or whatever you call the nearest person with power over your time needs some leeway to organize, ask for some extra, compensate, forgive, and reward you, without higher powers micromanaging. Freedom is the premise of responsability.

Absolute evil happens when customer demands access to hourly activity log for each developer in the (not on premises) project.

I guess users have been sufficiently beaten into submission that many of them will put up with software randomly quitting on them, but the idea that daemons should be snaps is doubly crazy. "Oh, Tomcat just updated itself, that's why we were down."

I really have no idea what people are thinking sometimes.
I definitely agree with some of that but it feels like you’re bringing in a bunch of arguments not made in the original post rather than showing the arguments made need more complex examples.
Canonical always has tried to differentiate themselves, and they just can't execute. Remember Unity, Mir, Juju, upstart and all the other failed shit they've come out with? Snap is just more of the same. I don't want to run that garbage on my desktop. I don't need more daemons and forced auto-updates and all the baggage.

I strongly recommend anyone similarly frustrated to check out debian, which is a fantastic distro. Thanks to Kevin for posting this, but if you're using Ubuntu and disabling snap, you're fighting against the current and I have to imagine it's going to be increasingly difficult with subsequent releases.
I like this model, and this is how I normally buy my flour, but since this pandemic started, my bulk goods store no longer allows you to bring in containers or scoop your own goods - a staff member escorts you around the store and scoops what you want into plastic bags. Works alright, though it’s a bit less convenient to estimate the amount of their bags that I need to fit my containers.
I think you're not cynical enough. You should definitely keep an eye out for a bigger paycheck elsewhere. Your company wouldn't hesitate to cut you loose if they thought it would make or save them a dollar in the long run.
>Not having enough money to survive isn't a made up thing.

No one has suggested that anything here is a 'made up thing', are you creating strawmen?

>However you want to define it, people need to make ends meet including right now.

I'm interested in understanding what the GP's point was. I don't get to definitely choose arbitrary definitions and interpretations for them. The dictionary and accepted usage offers a range of interpretations.
To ensure snap will not be installed again see the apt config here:

https://github.com/cies/kubuntu-setup#remove-snap

This is needed because an every growing number op packages is "dependant" on it.

Here I show how to install Chromium as a DEB package from Debian (on a buntu):

https://github.com/cies/kubuntu-setup/tree/master/chromium
All Apple provides us is correlation, so it's entirely possible (likely even) that the removal was incidental and driven by competing internal needs (like removal of wires, progression towards thinness). Materially it doesn't matter at all what caused this because they don't offer phones with functionality people clearly desire that are otherwise commonplace.

It'd be much nicer if they simply offered things like removable battery, headphone, etc, and articulated how this would affect the form of the phone, but that would affect other priorities that Apple has. It's not difficult to accept, even on this forum, that materially their massive profit margin hurts their product offering.
Still, you'll get a machine that's not pleasant to look at. Funny that GNU/Linux OS has been advancing greatly the past decade, outperforming Windows and Mac, but without proper hardware match. Lenovo laptops are so ugly and battery performance usually not more than 6h. My work laptop used to be Dell 7000 series, which is perfect on Fedora but with one drawback: calling Dell support to change motherboard every 6 months. Now some companies come to fill the gap, one of them is Purism. I was so happy to see them operating. Well, after paying 1300$, for a really modest processor, the whole laptop fell apart in less than 6 months. It was even worst than any Ascer laptops I've used!! You finally, with all the shame, go back using a Macbook. Fedora on MacBook is the future; but long way to go to get everything working properly.
Thats one thing that snaps are trying to do. I personally prefer firejail for application sandboxing and permissions but then you have to be extra careful how you install the application (dpkg post-install scripts have been known to do sketchy things) and you have to make sure you never accidentally run the application without firejail.
Even then... Literally the only time I max it out is when I'm doing a handbrake x265 encode on a faster preset... the slower presets only use about 75% of CPU. If I did it again, would probably go with a 3900X and spend the extra $250 towards an RTX 2070 Super instead of the RX 5700 XT that I got.

My old computer was over 5yo at upgrade, with a mid-cycle upgrade of a couple components, likely this will be the same, though I don't think I will ever go RGB again.

The number one main headline takeway axiom of Agile is that this question is completely banned.

I don’t have any experience with snaps so this is all new to me. Snaps install software at a system level right? Why on earth would there be anything in a user home directory? What if you have multiple users? Does snap get confused?

Valid points, but in this case (and many others where you encounter power-of-2 mult/div), I'd consider that a shift might actually semantically be the more natural operation in the first place, instead of an "optimization" of the mult/div operation. (With their equivalence being obvious to any reader, it might not matter.)
From my experience, it's more about culture and expectations than anything. You'll occasionally get a shop that can stand above its city, but eventually it'll regress to the mean. Here in the PNW you can walk into any coffee shop and get a good coffee about 50–75% of the time. In NYC, I'd say it's more like 10%. I think it's because people in NYC don't value coffee very much, or care only superficially. On the flipside, even shitty bagels in NYC are better than most of what you can get here. I hated all the coffee I had in France, but it might be because they prefer a bitter cup to be drunk with sugar, rather than the black coffee we drink in the US.
