You’re correct! They take it pretty far: for instance companies are collective nouns, so they would say “Apple are releasing the new iPhone.” In not sure where it stops, but I’m vaguely suspicious that countries are singular nouns.
The assertion "all compilers were pure functions", is a strange one, because it is almost entirely backwards.

the purity of compilers was abandoned almost immediately (when they started creating a file a.out and writing to that instead of writing binaries to stdout, and in the c-preprocessor when #include was added, and in the assembler with the .incbin directive, If compilers were pure, there would be zero need for Makefile style build systems which stat files to see if they have changed.

while Makefiles and their ilk are modeled as a dag is true,
The only reason an external file/dag is actually necessary is due to impurity in the compilation process.

There have been very few compilers which have even had a relatively pure core (TeX is the only one that I can actually think of), language servers are if anything moving them to a more pure model, simply due to the fact that its sending sources through some file descriptor rather than having to construct some graph out of filenames.

Long story short, "purity" in the sense of a compiler is a function from source text -> binary text, "foo.c" is not source text, and a bunch of errors is not binary text.

At least language servers take in source text as input.

That's a strange thing to say without any substantiation. How many cryptolockers use Monero over Bitcoin? How many carding forums accept Monero over Bitcoin? How many darknet markets use Monero over Bitcoin? How many scammers scam you into buying them Monero over gift cards/western union/wire transfer/bitcoin?

Sure many support Monero, but none at the exclusion of Bitcoin.

Hey, Adam from MeetButter here (OP)!

I agree, I wouldn't invest a couple of weeks and just call it a day.

An MVP is the start of a conversation with your target market. That's how we're approaching it. It'll take more than 3 weeks to reach product-market fit, we're just super excited to kickstart the journey!
My boss is a Linux lifer. The kind of guy who compiles his own kernel and knows this stuff in and out. I mentioned that I got my first Linux machine to him and that it had an integrated GPU. First thing he said to me was "that was a mistake". From what I've seen I would agree. My machine is way glitchier when I enable the Nvidia GPU. If I had the option to run multi monitors without it on, I'd probably never use it save when gaming.
You wrote: "They [the rape allegations] were credible until they were revealed as complete fabrications by no other than the UN human rights reporter [Nils Melzer]."

I had not read his blog post, so thank you for providing this. Unfortunately, his claims about Assange's accusers are so totally unsubstantiated that it's hard to believe they were written by a law professor. One of Assange's accusers didn't appreciate Melzer's attempts to tar her as a fabricator. According to Der Spiegel [1]:

So he blames the victims, the woman writes; it was "a classic patriarchal technique to define the
conditions for how 'a real rape victim' should behave". It also accuses the lawyer of personally
slandering her and, in some cases, spreading the untruth about the investigation, such as Assange's
willingness to testify about the incidents. This is "completely unacceptable, shocking and a
reason to quit his job at the UN".

Melzer, on being challenged by the victim, seems to have been less sure about his facts. In email correspondence with the victim, he writes, "My understanding of the situation may still be incomplete." He also writes: "I do not believe that your own information has been faked by the police."

It doesn’t matter where you are, what you believe, what you do, or what you have - 2020 is peak stupidity.

I'm an "aiming to win in a fixed round" type gamer myself but I think lack of an end goal is less of an issue for more players than you think. Minecraft is huge. Animal Valley is currently all the rage. The Sims was once upon a time the shit. Farmville once (still?) dominated facebook.

People love base or society building for the sake of base and society building.

If anything, playing to win/end is the minority in gaming.
I wonder if you could approach this like you’d approach designing any other data structure, by first nailing down what operations you are optimizing for.

We could optimize for ease of iterating on the compiler, or for ease of integration into an ecosystem of various build systems. Or for correctness, consistency, compilation speed, etc.

Or, maybe it turns out that saving developers’ time is more important than any of these, as long as we keep all of these within reasonable bounds, since it’s by a factor of 10,000 the most common operation you’re going to be performing.
You can also just go to the threadreaperapp website and paste in the tweet url.
So it could be that of those owners they had one or two tenants break a lease? This would be a much lower number of actual tenants breaking their lease but we do not know with the data provided.
I’m an open source advocate, but still appreciate that Windows is the most used PC operating system on the planet. The fact that you can use the tool ITA as it’s presented on stock Windows (when this is a recently added feature) is relevant info that’s useful to readers and I highly doubt parent intended it in any way to be an ad.

Not to put words in his mouth, but he’s probably just proud to have some influence on making Windows users’ lives a little easier and it would be an odd thing for him to expect people familiar with curl to suddenly become Windows partisans just because they’re now prepacking it (or generally for any Microsoft engineer to have much personal interest in convincing end users to adopt Windows personally).
There's 5 stages: Define, design, develop, testing, deploy

There are different kinds of people suited to these stages. First step, get someone to write out what you want to do, ideally a developer. Commission a scope of work document, or write one yourself, with things like what pages are on your application, what relation they take to each other, UI, and so on. It's better for someone in programming or design to do this. Get a rough estimate for each.

You'll probably have to pay a good amount to get that done, but it's not wasted time. It's wasted if they misunderstand and build something you don't want. It's wasted if you misunderstand how expensive a component in (Social media logins are an example of something more effort than people realize). It's wasted effort and money if you thought you wanted something, but then scrap it later because that wasn't a good idea after all. And defining the problem is a big part of development as well, one that gets glanced over even by professionals. You should do wireframes to define UI - basically little sketches for buttons and where they go to, etc, and not with fonts, color, and the like.

Once you get the definition down, you should have a good feel for how good the person you're hiring is. If they're dumb it will clearly show, and make you frustrated. If they're great, they'll add input of their own and improve your plans.

Then you get to work on the following stages - hire a designer, a tester, find a way to deploy it to the users, though some freelancers can probably do all of this solo. Once deployed and you get your feedback, you cycle back to the definition phase for the next features.
Hey, Adam from MeetButter here (OP)!

Yes, I love the Design Thinking process. I ran my own dev agency before, and would always recommend clients to do a Design Thinking workshop with my team. It's really the best way to break down a big 6+ month project into bite-sized pieces.

Folks who can reproduce the "sketch" --> "sketchers.com" behavior or the "realty.com" --> "realtor.com" behavior, would any of you be willing to file the issue via Feedback Assistant (only needs a free developer.apple.com account) with a sysdiagnose and a screen recording? Then give me the FB number.

I can get the Safari team to look at this, but I can't reproduce either behavior myself. Any other examples of bogus/unexpected autocomplete also welcome.

Maybe you and others turned those things off at some point too?

What really drives me mad is that there is no public bugreporting for any Apple soft, except for the betas obviously.

Only then we'd be able to have an idea of the sheer extent of bugginess of their products, and how the heavily advertised features never work. I hope someone with energy and time actually creates and maintains an open, alternative bugzilla for that purpose specifically.
Really. For so many things, it is better to have a light weight client and a very powerful remote server for builds, working with large data sets, etc. Mosh + tmux, combined with at least one beefy server.
There are lots of reasons this will not work:

In several organizations, there are a range of middle management layers who only do communications and lights on work. These people will be laid off in as little as a year when their positions start becoming obsolete. Really once the brokers get separated from party the culling will be ruthless. To me the biggest opposition will come from middle management layers. The obvious reason cited will be 'collaboration','productivity' etc, but the real reason will be saving their own jobs.

There is also an added problem of work being easily shipped out to foreign lands. Outsourcing is likely to increase and that will invite more backlash. New hire onboarding is one more area of problem, mostly because of the absence of face to face initial assistance in getting onboard. This is true for big companies given the range of in house systems and tech some one needs to be aware of before starting to contribute.

Lastly, I feel even at individual levels this will effect us all bad. Most programmers are bad at exercise and sitting at home will only amplify unhealthy lifestyles and eating habits. I expect such people will get worse off over time, obesity and diseases will increase. Absence of peer pressure/influence on skill gaining is one area I suspect will suffer in the absence of an office.
They’re not a step away from each other. Numerous countries, including those with strong norms against mass murder, intern suspected enemy sympathizers in times of war.

During the Gulf War (1992) the UK interned Iraqi citizens in the UK, just as they did with German citizens in WWII.

That was not a step away from mass murder.
Dismantling barriers to participation in programming communities

While folks may be thinking “number of queries” must mean it was performance concerns, the answer for Chromium was simpler: SRV records just didn’t resolve for a number of users. Neither do TXT records, for that matter ( https://www.imperialviolet.org/2015/01/17/notdane.html ). Early on in Chrome, it was discovered that attempting to resolve too many domains at once could cause 2Wire routers used by AT&T for DSL to lock up, requiring you to physically reboot, due to a bug in their port of dnsmasq.

Stories like this are stories like those mentioned in the post: everything on the Internet is awful, and you work with what you have and work around things by adding JPEGs of cats and silly session IDs (As TLS 1.3 does) and whatever it takes to “make it work”.

DoH/DoT, if it’s able to be adopted before ISPs and middleboxes ossify it with subpar implementations as part of their effort to avoid net neutrality ( https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/4/20898779/fcc-net-neutrali... ), is the first time in a long time that innovation and experimentation in DNS might happen again. This is why we see things like ESNI and SVCB ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-svcb-httpssvc ) having a chance at being deployed. At least, if clients can get there before the middleboxes ruin the party, like they’ve tried to do for QUIC.
I work in a 10-story building built in the 1890s, one of the first "skyscrapers" in San Francisco. The mail chute system is blocked, and the beautiful iron staircases have been boxed in at every level with fire resistant doors and walls. AFAIU, in both cases one of the primary reasons was fire safety, according to the leasing agent.

However, I know of at least one other building in this area, the Hobart Building, slightly younger but much taller, where the iron staircases are still open and still serve their aesthetic function. It makes taking the stairs so much more pleasant.

Apparently the fire risk is manageable. I think a bigger problem is that these building were designed for a multitude of small office suites. But today most of these buildings will have (or want to have) tenants who wish to lease entire floors, or most of a floor. Large, open, but single tenant floor spaces are how most modern office towers are constructed, so that's the market expectation.[1] It's difficult to provide such tenant spaces while also keeping open corridors between floors. Even for mail chutes, as the private, controlled-access floors diminish the desirability and utility of shared facilities.

[1] The nearby Crown Zellerbach Building (1959, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Bush_Plaza) was at the vanguard of this office tower design evolution.
Really? What about all the dependencies from those dependencies?...

For example, our company is working on an app that has 82 npm dependencies and over 17,000 resolved npm packages...

It's absolutely ridiculous to investigate all of them... but it's also necessary if you want to be sure...
I loved the Nikon 1, it was small, light, and fit easily in a small handbag with an extra lens.

Yeah, it was a bit pricier than it should have been, and their marketing sucked. Instead of trying to sell it as a great camera for people who wanted something small and capable they tried to sell it as the perfect second backup camera for DSLR owners. Which is stupid because the perfect second/backup camera for DSLR owners is another DSLR with the same lens mount.
Apple and this website have no business relationship, so there’s no breech of contract. Beyond that, Apple‘s duty of care is really very low.

If Google can take money to sent people to a website that otherwise would rank below yours, Apple certainly isn’t liable for doing the same without intention.

> Wasteful compared to what?

Compared to every alternative. Look up the sources I've linked,. the amount of energy used by Bitcoin is ludacris and unsustainable.

> It's possible to transact in a matter of minutes

10 minutes on average, but that's only 1 confirmation. You'll need to wait 6 before you can ship the goods. Current cost is $0.50 - so both slow and expensive. (source https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/fee-calculator/)

> After that you can move it to a stable coin

There are no stable coins on bitcoin (that I'm aware of) and you can't use one nativelly. Even if there are, they are custodial risks involved plus moving requires another transaction.

The design community always manages to surprise.
And if it was written with a single thread in mind (which it most likely has been) naively 'multi-threading' it will likely not help do much except increase the number of bugs. Too many independent but intertwined systems communicating with each other.

Making DF use multiple cores efficiently would be amazing, but I have serious doubts its viable in the short-ish term without a significant rewrite. The most you're likely to see is some peripheral systems offloaded onto background threads when possible.

My hope is that with the upcoming Steam release they make enough money to hire another veteran game programmer or two to help them work on game and make it perform better.
Your reply sounds irrelevant when multiple people on this thread have been able to replicate. It only happens on Safari and if you turn off Safari suggestions it stops. People have also been able to replicate it on macOS. So it’s obvious it’s coming from Safari suggestions. Feel free to test for yourself.
Perhaps part of the reason quit lit is so common is that colleagues who remain recoil in horror when they talk with someone who quit. The quitter is left with no one to talk to but the cold vacuum of internet. For months I would get emails asking if I was "okay". When I would giddily explain that I've never made a better decision than leaving my faculty appointment-- that would be enough to never hear from him/her again.

Academia in its modern, McKinseyfied, perverse form doesn't do much good for anyone/anything besides endowments. It's really hard to admit that after you've sunk a decade into it (and are supposedly lucky enough to be faculty).

For my own sake, I wish there had been a faster way to look behind the curtain... C'est la vie!
