A lot of us may espouse the view that "code is poetry" and may even have the sticker to show for it on our laptops -- but how many of us have actually written a code poem in this fashion?

In their infinite wisdom our technological ancestors created high level languages to help us on our way and this article reminds me that code is language, it tells a story.

Code is meant to be human readable and it's meant to be the ultimate design document. Code is in its very nature self-documenting however we must attain a level of mastery before we can write code others can actually read.

I'd say the disparity between people who can write any old code and people who can efficiently write readable code is the greatest challenge to our industry and will likely always be.

Code is at the nexus of mathematics and poetry and sure we can choose convenient notations to make the output more elegant but without input from the author's hand it'll only ever be machine readable.
The main difference between Thomas's opinion and the majority's seem to be that Thomas thinks the Obama administration didn't have authority to implement DACA, whereas the majority doesn't seem to want to rule on that, but doesn't believe that the government can just pull the rug out from underneath someone either way.

Additionally I'm not sure if "DHS can terminate or renew deferred action at any time at the agency’s discretion" is as open ended as all Thomas seems to imply. Certainly that discretion itself has to be legal. ex. They couldn't just decide to deport people who don't donate to a political candidate. It has to follow some legal process.

IMO it is a failure of the Legislative branch to deal with this.
Effects for Less
Cannabis certainly has negative side effects but these pale in comparison to the effects of prohibition.

From a physical standpoint, the negative effects of cannabis are far less severe than smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol.

We should put the money used for policing into community building and health services so people feel less inclined to use drugs of any kind.
Yes, this is what I was hoping the post would be about.
The licenses weren't conceived of with the thought of something like AWS. Now that we're in the midst of things that's changing but what is an officially supported open source license [0] is too slow so you can't use the OSS label if you've you're not using the approved licenses. Both Mongo and Elasticsearch have changed their licenses to prevent cloud players from taking advantage of their work and companies like Gitlab make a clear distinction between their FOSS parts and what they make money on by using two different licenses.

The issues are only a little over a half decade old now the OSS players are starting to figure it out.

Open source just doesn't mean anyone can use it, there's a definition to adhere to and and org managing that definition. [1]

But basically all apps on phones are dystopian now.

If I could block apps from network access, including apple apps, then that would prove they're not playing both sides.

AFAIK vlc has that functionality. It allows you to buffer the video n seconds in advance.
Yep. I'm not a giant fan of the way GH is currently moving. GH is slowly becoming what Atlassian wish it had.
Oooh i used cpuidle! That brought me memories.
Open Source isn't just one mindset. This isn't exhaustive, but the ones I encounter the most.

* You have people that are ideologically driven (FSF)

* You have companies that Open Source as a weapon [0] (Chromium)

* You have projects that are very pragmatic. They believe it is the path to technical excellence.

* You have individuals do it for their resume

* You have individuals that do it just for fun :)

Case in point - I used Apple Pay to reserve my Model 3 for $1,000.

Is, would you say, virtue signaling to say something others like but not actually do something inconvenient related to that oneself?
I was making an analogy from when comcast was charging "transit fees" to netflix for instance. In the end, the customers are paying twice.

Most academics today are opposed to racism, classism and fascism. Those positions, which were up for debate not a century ago, are essentially first principles now (outside of social media).
If Apple provided an official jailbreaking tool, I would actually consider this a valid solution, even if it voided the warranty on the device.
Right there with you. Overrated.
Of course you have the right to poke your nose wherever you like and complain about whatever you like as well.

I also don't care for the idea that bribing the indigent and poor is what I'm doing. Glad to know that people are decoupling from the idea that welfare helps upward mobility.

I think there’s an inclination to see ‘wokeism’ from brands as a very current development when in fact the idea of a “Chinese Wall” existing to relieve the tension between editorial and commercial depts. has been central to all media companies for a long long time. What North Face is doing is no different from what Philip Morris could do to a publication running tobacco health stories. What is new, in my opinion, is that the idea that there should be a Chinese Wall at all is no longer taken for granted. The implication to the way stories like this are presented and shared being that it is in fact desirable for advertisers to coerce editorial decisions to align with certain correct opinions.
We're likely better off starting from scratch with the Constitution. Too much legacy code (literally legal code) is fundamentally flawed to try and keep modifying it.
I couldn't say whether you're in the minority, but I would say that the reasoning you give for your position strikes me as specious. This is a complex issue with many facets that need to be unpacked. For example, your implication that a person walking off into the woods leads to no additional demands on others only follows if you also feel that a person's decision also waives family's and friends' right to request a search and rescue operation. Because, as that article points out, it's typically not just their business. Search and rescue is dangerous and may put additional people's lives at risk. And I would, in turn, say that that position is only tenable in cases where someone has done something like filed a signed affidavit saying, "Yes, this is my attention," with the local authorities. Otherwise there's not necessarily any tenable way for authorities to tell to worried loved ones, "No, this is what they wanted, so we can't get involved."

And it's clear from McCandless's own actions - especially leaving a note on the bus asking for help - that he did not really understand what he was getting into, and did ultimately desire help from others. So, ultimately, even he himself did not believe that his fate was nobody else's business.

Finally, despite your assertion that, "It's not a question of moral or ethics," your entire position is inescapably an ethical position. Because one's opinion on whether society has a responsibility to attempt to protect these people, or whether it's better to simply leave them to their fate, is, by definition, an ethical position.

Catastrophe bonds don’t offer very high yields. Usually between 2 and 5 percent above treasuries, if no catastrophes happen. They have a similar return as high yield bonds, with the advantage that the losses are generally uncorrelated with the returns of other financial assets.

Cat bond investors usually have large portfolios of other bonds, and are mostly insurance companies and pension funds who want to marginally improve their results without increasing volatility.

There are however situations where a cat bond investor can make a lot of money: live catastrophes. For example, if a hurricane is on its way to Florida, cat bonds covering Florida insurers will trade at a deep discount. If the hurricane changes its course and doesn’t make a landfall, their price goes back to par. A skilled (or lucky) investor could double their capital in a few days.
Oh. That’s also an idea, but maybe we’d still get tons of ad-less blogs that are just link farms to other sites.

Still, I guess that’s only viable because Google rewards lots of links. If you just disable link relevance that part of gaming the system will be gone too.
No, you’re not. I was a mine buff for a long time and used to go out to desolate places and rappel down into old mines to explore them. Now days a lot of these old mines have been sealed off. My opinion is that if you really want to drive 30 miles off-road into the Mojave and fall down a mine shaft, well, knock yourself out. Hundreds of kids die in swimming pools each year, I don’t see the Corps of Engineers going around filling people’s pools with cement. The wild is the wild, leave it alone - let responsible people enjoy it, and let irresponsible people learn To respect it.
> the linear arrow says this: a function that has type A⊸BA⊸B is a function that has an AA available to compute with, but it can only use it once. Not twice, not zero times: just once.

Superficially this sounds a lot like Rust's FnOnce. Is there a relation there?

Edit: Actually it sounds like linear functions are more about using their arguments once, internally, as opposed to themselves being called once. So perhaps not. Still would appreciate any further commentary by someone with a better grasp on things than I have.
Forking over 30% isn't the best option. It's the only option.

If Apple had unlisted apps that didn't show up in the store listings and required a click through from your website to get to the app's store page, I bet some developers would opt for that if it meant they didn't have to pay the 30% tax.
Isn't that exactly how you'd expect competition to work? (Note, neither of those companies are "government sanctioned monopolies" anywhere in the U.S. They may be a "de facto" monopoly in any given place.)
I mean if you partnered with Target to sell your shampoo I think they would be rightfully pissed if the bottles you sent them to put down said something like "Buy it on our website instead for 30% cheaper!"
Just checked Amazon's S3 page linked to by the PP.

Question - how do the following "Notes" that Amazon has on it's page affect that?

"You can only get a torrent file for objects that are less than 5 GBs in size."

I would say that if anything Hey was hoping that Apple would reject their app specifically so they could become a cause célèbre, and ride the streisand effect,

They've done a great job organizing their protest campaign. I would be extremely surprised if it wasn't planned from the beginning. They are ultimately depending on Apple caving under pressure.
> No. The specific discussion of black-on-black crime is about the idea that nobody is discussing it, which is just false on its face. This is distinct from questioning whether black people are often the victims of crimes committed by other black people.

So now we're taking the literal definition of "nobody", and using it to say that this is false. Personally, I'd feel comfortable saying "nobody is talking about cause X", if related cause Y was being talked about 100x more. Otherwise "nobody is talking about X" is always trivially false - by saying that, you are talking about it. But by the 100x standard... Yeah, nobody (right now) is talking about black-on-black crime, in comparison to white-on-black crime.

> Similarly, "what about black on black crime" is a weaponized idea designed to convince people that experts haven't considered this, when they really have.

> Experts have concluded clearly that the existence and even high frequency of black-on-black crime absolutely does not dismantle claims about white supremacy and systemic racism.

The problem with this argument - that this is a bad-faith question and it's been sufficiently addressed so shutup and stop asking - is twofold. First, many people will ask this due to not being familiar with those answers. Second, some people might think those answers are insufficient. Why not just link to the experts addressing it?
>one other thing I haven't seen whether Basecamp could just charge $141.43 per year if someone pays through Apple, so Basecamp would get $99 per year after Apple takes their 30% cut.

They could.

>People that don't care about money could sign up in-app, but most people will sign up outside the app.

The problem is that the iOS app cannot in any way or form mention that a) you can pay for the subscription outside the application b) the price of the subscription outside of the application is different than inside the application.
Good feedback, I'll add something for that.
Who determines whose intentions are correct? THAT is the problem. Ask someone on the right, and they'll say that protesting against Gay Marriage is morally correct because marriage should be between a man and a woman. And don't forget that this is the exact stance that Obama took in both 2008 and 2012. Imagine if the Twitter mob tried to censor people or shame people for having a different viewpoint than the POTUS?

It's whoever has more power that determines who is "morally correct", and power never stays the same. If we relied on that, then black rights, women's rights and gay rights would never have advanced. It's better that the rules apply blindly to everyone forever, so that those with less power have the right to express their freedom, and those with power let them because it's best for everyone.
I agree that using biomass is a pretty shady metric unless there is strong side by side evidence that the mass is growing back at the same rate of consumption. Unlikely in the case of trees.

I'm also a proponent of nuclear after my thermodynamics professor sat my class down and explained why solar is a dirty process to get up and running and biomass is not sustainable.

I think the potential is in advancement of nuclear power plant tech. The US is working with pretty old 20th century technology and there isn't much movement in the space that I know of probably due to fear.
What they say about N421 is pretty much is what they were saying a generic "transparent VR" or "lightweight AR" display would be, and what the technology would allow.

Think of Google Glass sans camera, and creepiness.

For anything else, there is simply no practical tech on this planet.

The lowest common denominator for "a real world usable AR" is well known: an emissive display, and a simple reflective projection system on some semitransparent medium/mirror dots/viewfinder-overlay-like prisms. No magic.

Pretty much everything else requires battery packs bigger than the glasses themselves, especially if you want daylight visibility.

> I'm not sure if I'd put a lot of stock in an Apple supplier knowing more than people who talk to internal engineers

You will be surprised how much RnD stuff Apple outsources around in China.

Maybe they design their products in California, but they definitely engineer them here in Shenzhen.

I had hard time understanding why they were so skittish talking about their RnD centres in China, and even once denying their existence, when the whole city knew of them, and where they are.
Communication is a super power. Full stop.

The key to communication is to remember: "It's not what you say, it's what they hear." (Note: say can be written, and hear therefore read.) The mantra works either way.

Ultimately, the responsibility of the communication belongs to the sender. Improvement still takes work, but you'll progress faster if you have this foundation.
Even if they did buy the tickets, they paid themselves with those tickets.

They paid a small fee for four walling (which they probably got for a token amount because of COVID and the fact that one of the guys might know the owner since he worked there). And that was pretty much it as far as actual costs were concerned.
hi, I am the OP. This is not for controversy. If you read the whole thread, I have identified that this happened in 2005-06 and team might not have had awareness for it. It is one of the cases where nothing much can be done as it is part of established lore but atleast a spotlight can be put on it.

Wilderness is a special designation, different from public lands, national forest, state parks. It's one of the last places in the US where you can be close to being free. Public lands often border private property. National forests have strict rules on usage and have roads paved through them like theme parks. State parks often require fees for entry and design areas for easy camping/eating/leaving waste.

Wilderness areas are a "part of society." But wilderness is an idea as much as it is a place, and the only place you can engage in the idea of "wilderness" is in geographical wilderness.

Your statement suggests that the rules of domestic life should apply in wilderness, but it's our domestic laws that say that there should be some territory where the spirit of domestic life doesn't prevail.

A redirect to the article for Michael Crichton of Jurassic Park fame; unfortunately it appears to have been removed from that page as well. It looks like Crichton is the one who actually came up with the effect, and named it after Gell-Man after discussing it with him.

My solution for sites that don't offer RSS is to ignore those sites.
I've gotten into a habit of setting `alias scp=rsync` (with compression, partial, progress, etc args usually) on every system I use. In the once-in-a-lifetime cases where rsync is not pre-installed, I just call /usr/bin/scp directly (or wherever it happens to be. `type -a scp` will tell you.)

The amount of time I've saved when I've forgotten that I've done this and it just runs faster is well into the tens of hours. The amount of time I've lost when I forgot and rsync doesn't exist remotely is about 10 seconds total - enough time to read the error message -> `type -a scp` -> "oh yeah" -> use /usr/bin/scp instead.

Highly highly highly recommended.

Right, but the value isn't that you're listed in the app store, the value is that you can collect payment on-device. The store isn't the retail space, the whole device it.

You could not release an app in their store and ignore their existence entirely. But that's ridiculous and you can't afford to do that because their user-base is so valuable. And so Apple charges a premium because they know that.
I am aware of that. If you read in followup tweets, I have mentioned that. This decision could have been prevented back in 2005-06 had there been more cultural awareness.

You do the right thing. Nature can be cruel and merciless. And hypothermia is not just for winter.

There are countless histories in the Alps and the Pyrenees of weekend hikers that go up in t-shirts and shorts, and then suddenly the weather change... One of the members of the team fall with hypothermia and an heli need to be dispatched. Taking out resources for other rescues and putting the life of the rescuers at risk.

There are discussions in some European countries if the rescued people shall pay in case of fragrant unpreparedness, because it has begun to be quite common.
