If a site knows I’m 35 and like computers and uses that to advertise to me I’m fine.

What I hate is that I search Agoda without being logged in, in an incognito browser. Then I go to Facebook in a different browser and it shows me adverts for those hotels I looked. I hate my data is shared beyond where I initially put it.
So you would call:

arr
.map(x => x + 2)
.filter(x => x % 3)
.map(x => other(x))

Imperative?
The most common case of "Sharing data with 3rd parties" is when the first party uses their targeting platform (usually DFP/GAM) to serve a campaign to an advertiser looking for a specific audience. For example, NYT might sell a campaign targeted towards young people, and therefore would allocate inventory on their tech articles to that campaign. The advertiser or their DMP/DSP now serves content from _their first party domain_, allowing them to cookie the user. This gives them an opportunity to say "NYT said this user was in their 20s", which they can store in that cookie's profile, and later they can see that cookie when they're bidding for that user in a programmatic, non-direct setting. They can target the same user again, later, for cheaper than NYT direct pricing.

Its talked about as "selling data", but its important to understand how that works, because its inherent to the value proposition of digital advertising. Its not "we have X data, do you want to buy it for $Y?". Its not about exporting CSVs or connecting data warehouses. Its "We have X data, do you want to buy inventory for that audience?". So the only way that a publisher can really sell ads without "selling data" is to do it on a non-targeted basis, so either through programmatic, non-direct, or through non-targeted direct campaigns. In isolation, a publisher who is selling non-targeted direct campaigns is not going to do well. Its just not a competitive offering to advertisers, unless the site's entire audience falls in a certain demographic--in which case, advertisers will just mark those users as having that characteristic, so in the end its still "selling data".

One way to look at the value of selling first party data is to look at the gap between programmatic and direct sold inventory. Direct campaigns in the US typically go for $10-50 CPMs (highly dependent on the audience, context, and units). Programmatic averages closer to $1-2. So having first party data _and scale_ can get you a 10-20X over not having data (and scale).
ACM digital library is great to browse (and search) [1], its free at the moment - they have SIGs(Special Interest groups) for currently active research areas - SIGCHI might be the one you're after for UI/UX [2]

I also resisted getting diagnosed as I did not want to rely on "drugs" and I figured that I was just lazy or unmotivated. Eventually my coping methods like drinking tons of coffee just did not help at all and I took the plunge.

It really is an issue of denial. I realized instantly the first time I took Adderall that I should not have waited so long. It is kind of frustrating to look back and realize how many of my issues, especially in school, can be attributed to unmanaged ADD. I wish someone would have advised me to get help 15 years ago, but oh well.

For anyone reading this, I highly encourage getting checked out if you have ADD symptoms and are not depressed (depression can look like ADD). I just want to note that dependence was my main hangup, but it has not been an issue- I regularly go a few days at a time with no meds on weekends or vacations and I don't have any negative symptoms or cravings.

Indeed. The "blub paradox" is profoundly arrogant - it presumes not only that people are too stupid to see the advantages of Lisp, but that Lisp advocates are smart enough to know that other languages have nothing unique to offer that Lisp doesn't.
This is a straw man.

Today you can simply use flexbox on the container:

> OSI decided to appropriate the term "Open source" to refer to something slightly weaker than "Free Software" but much stronger than "you can look at the source code". They are not in their right to do that.

This is incorrect. Over 20 years ago people who would later be part of OSI _coined_, not co-opted, the term (within the scope of software). It was coined to mean _exactly the same thing_ as "Free Software"; the OSD was directly derived from the Debian Free Software Guidelines and there have only been two licenses, as I recall, that are OSI approved and the FSF have said are non-free.

You also confuse "OSI-approved license" with "GPL", because the OSI (and FSF) have approved permissive BSD and MIT and many other non-copyleft licenses. Here you go: https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical

There's a lot of value in StackOverflow, but it basically teaches programmers error-driven development where you stumble through a problem by mindlessly Googling errors until you've cobbled something together that works...

Even Joel Spolsky (creator of SO) has brought up some negative impacts of StackOverflow (on his old podcast at some point), saying nobody needs to learn anything anymore, just jump into the code and google the error messages.

I'm guilty of this too, I just think it's a shame that Googling is preferable over learning...
I'm sorry, I didn't want to imply that it's like Russia Today or similar. § 26 of the Act kinda forbids that and the work they do is usually superb and important. Especially in countries that lack democratic media.

There is however a difference and you can see it on articles as the one above. I'm sure no journalist was pushed to release this article in this way but this is what happens when you're funded by the current Government and have to report something they won't like. You just leave out certain information here and there and with that you change the overall tone of the information.

A good example is shock absorbers designed for vehicles heavier than 30 tons. It has all kinds of civilian uses in heavy machinery, but since that's a key tech for armored vehicles, they are also on the munitions list. The same applies for rocket and jet engines above certain parameters, all kinds of space imaging technology, etc, etc.

Never looked at Brave’s business model - and agree, it’s possibly more toxic than ADs. That being Brave wants you to buy their currency to pay creators then the creators pay them to get paid. On top of that, they created their own AD network and are paying out 70% of profits to the users, which sounds like huge conflict of interest.

EDIT: Appears Brave is even holding payments in escrow for parties that did not even sign up to receive payments, that’s not shady at all. Even makes me wonder what’s happening to all the funds in escrow.

Procrastination is often mainly about "getting started". Once you've done it you can finish, but until you start you can doddle and doddle. For those who have this problem, the key is to force yourself to get started.

Sometimes the task at hand is monumental and it feels like scaling mount Everest. But still, once you're in the thick of it you can maintain a pace for a while and make progress, but until you start, the whole thing feels imposing.

Is it really better to just kill/accept the loss than to get some use out of it? I think logistics is the main issue anyway, costs money to transport/refrigerate.

There is also a higher cost to the subscriber to receive a newspaper compared to digital delivery, IIRC. So it is still proportional.
I think that Beating the Averages demonstrated that Lisp was PG's Blub, and maybe he wasn't using a language with strong static typing or logic programming or something like that for the same reasons that Java programmers wouldn't choose Lisp.

I don't think that the fundamental flaw with that essay is the arrogance so much as the assumption that "language power" lies on a continuum in the first place.
Smart. They're a big enough institution to run that stuff in-house.

True, without tracking signal on third-party sites they won't know if their readers for stories on the Florida fishing industry are also car aficionados, but I don't know that they care for their use case.
You're entitled to your opinion of course, but it has repeatedly been shown that ISPs will not make the necessary investments, and instead will over leverage with debt while milking the customer base for the most dollars they can while providing the lowest quality of service tolerable.

Private enterprise had their chance, decades even. Fool us once.
Russians call everything a rocket anyway. RPG-7 is a rocket, Saturn V is a rocket, Sidewinder is a rocket. They’re not confused about it, they regard all to be in the same category.

It’s a bit political than technical that in American English guided rocket weapons are always called “missiles“. Same reason as J in NASA JPL stands for _jet_ though they don’t normally do turbine jets.

So calling non-military rockets as munitions could be, I think, potentially more straightforward.

> But there is no such problem with fiber.

Have you ever lived in a neighborhood with ongoing FTTH, or even FTTC, installation? I assure you that there is certainly a problem with having that done multiple times. That's just the making-lives-shitty part and doesn't even get to capital costs, which ISPs just straight-up won't spend; go look at the ongoing embarrassment of "hey Verizon, when's FiOS coming to X?". (The answer, dear reader, is "never".)

Public fiber is better, but there should be, as with most necessary-for-modern-life services, a public option that puts a ceiling on what a private company can charge for service. If they can extract efficiencies to be cheaper, sure, great.

Honest question. What's wrong with elisp?

I have never been limited by it. Granted, it's probably the worst lisp. But it works just fine for it's intended use. It could be argued that is one of the most used lisps.

As for porting packages, some are old and will never get ported and packages are the spice of emacs.
Yes. That is imperative.

Declarative code describes the _output_ or final desired state of something.
Compilers aren't different from pretty much every other kind of software, for which it's generally painfully obvious that two programs that target the same data _format_ will not necessarily output the exact same _data_, especially when they have wildly differing end goals.

I don't think every article discussing benchmarks has to restate that the differences between programming languages are not just syntactical to be informative.
The best recommendation I’ve ever heard was to buy as cheap as you can, and then pay attention to what you actually use. Whatever tools in the “regular use” category break first should be replaced with the nicest tool in that category you can afford.
