You've diverged from the context and are no longer doing an apples-to-apples comparison. The things you're describing are all opt-in and amount to having to deal with an adversarial input. There's nothing inherent to the medium that requires those things.

In other words, a person publishing a PDF is already abstaining from certain things. (Namely, the sorts of things you're bringing up that would make for a pathological case.) If the person who publishes a PDF does a straightforward translation into a web page, then you end up with something that doesn't exhibit any of the downsides you're discussing.
I live in my landlord's apartment. Technically, they have a key to enter. I absolutely have to trust them to ensure they don't come inside if I am not here. However, they still have to ask permission to enter (unless it is some clear and obvious emergency), as we don't consider it to be my landlord's apartment: we consider it to be my apartment; the language is trying to shift the discussion into some weird natural stance that somehow, just because Apple made something and I can't know for sure they aren't lying to me about whether they honor the restrictions I tell them, it somehow means they don't have to ask... that's bullshit :/.

There is one thing about PDFs that makes them OK: it's one file, with everything needed, so it works offline. That's not nothing. The Web N.0 is not offline-friendly, and while most of the time that's not a problem, when it is a problem, it's a nasty problem.

> Such a view would suggest that any increase in labor hampers wages.

Of course it does, if the supply of workers exceeds the demand, there would be a drop in wages. 10 people competing for 1 job is going to have a lower wage than 1 person competing for 1 job.
One of the many things that surprised me in the US was seemingly complicated means of transferring cash between bank accounts.

I think it does the opposite. It says "if you're going to vouch for software, really vouch for it". Not "only let users install software you can vouch for". It means that non-app store distribution becomes more of a thing, not less.

Those two chips are a lot more different than I'd expect. (Even taking into account the 90 degree rotation.) In particular, the ALU (upper-left in Intel photo) is fairly regular, while the ALU in the Russian photo (lower-left) looks like random logic. And the PLAs and instruction register seem entirely different between the two.

I was skeptical at first, but I think it's possible that the Russian chip is a different implementation, and not just the same circuitry with the layout re-done for their process. It would require a closer look at the circuitry to determine for sure.

If you don't need formatting, then yes pdfs may be forcing a burden on you you don't need - especially on small screens that cannot display a full page without microscopic fonts.

But when you need the formatting, PDF is wonderful.

The problem with HTML is that it's a moving target.
The distinction should be made between fixed layout formats like PDF and reflowable text formats like HTML. In a RESTful sense, these should be two representations of the same resource.
The things that affect me most directly in life are education, health and housing.

Neither one of these is getting fixed by simply increasing tax revenue alone.

When I goto the hospital and get an MRI and get billed through insurance and the cost is $2,000 and out of pocket I can pay $200 for the same procedure that looks like legalized fraud.

The same can be said for education. When the majority of student loans are given in such a way that a student can't default out of it, it reduces the risk on the lending party and so they give out a ton of cash and prefer the interest payments later on which raises the price of education.

Property taxes are also inherently low and should be raised and redistributed to lower income neighborhoods especially when so much property is already in the hands of the wealthy.

I would love to see higher property taxes because I have more faith in local governments than the larger bureaucracy.

I find your comment inflammatory and your zealousness amusing, but I'll bite and try to be reasonable by assuming you're willing to entertain another point of view.

The whole "declaration follows usage" is just a bad tradeoff. It makes it easier to parse expressions. That's my understanding of why they did it. It makes it _objectively_ harder to read, because some declarations follow this easy pattern of "name on the right and type on the left", while for some other declarations you have to employ the spiral reading pattern (e.g. for function pointers, arrays, with variable declarations being the easiest one).

You know what's easier that all that? Type on the left, name on the right.

int a;
int* a;
int[] a;
unsigned int(int) f;

Notice that you can probably easily guess what that last declaration represents, without having to consult a wise old man. I think you simply got used to how C does it, so now the actual sane way is weird to you personally, but you have to recognize that it's one additional thing _everyone_ has to learn because it's counter-intuitive. Hundreds of thousands of developers had to learn some weird spiral reading rule because 1 compiler writer found it easier to reuse a yacc rule.

That's why Java, Go and D changed this nonsense. Java supports both "int[] a" vs "int a[]". They support both to appease everyone, but they went the extra mile to support "int[] a". D changed it to "int[] a" and called it a day and Go introduced this novel [5]int syntax, which is different, but clearly easy to read ("array of five int").

Again, type on the left, name on the right (or in Go's case, name on the left, type on the right - but at least it's not a mixed bag). Once you see it that way (i.e. you give up on declaration follows usage rule), it's not weird, it's not wrong, it's intuitive, and it makes the language easier to learn and use.

I thought this is a matter of preference until I actually wrote a C compiler for fun and have permanently solidified my opinion on this issue.

The asterisk is part of the type, it's not just some random symbol, it's not a type qualifier like 'const' or 'volatile'. It's a type token that builds a distinct type, e.g. "int * * " is a type that spells "pointer to pointer to int", it's not an 'int' type with some flags attached to it.

Let's take the concrete example of 'struct Bark* p_dog'.

A typical compiler will tokenize 'struct', 'Bark', '* ' and 'p_dog' and will group them as ('struct', 'Bark', '* ') to derive the type "pointer to struct Bark" and ('p_dog') to derive the name of the symbol when it adds an entry into its symbol table, in other words - the compiler itself splits that line so that types are the left, and names on the right.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine an intelligent root snacking on a human face - forever.
The choice between ``int p;'' and ``int p;'' is not about right and wrong, but about style and emphasis. C emphasized expressions; declarations were often considered little more than a necessary evil. C++, on the other hand, has a heavy emphasis on types.

A ``typical C programmer'' writes ``int p;'' and explains it ``p is what is the int'' emphasizing syntax, and may point to the C (and C++) declaration grammar to argue for the correctness of the style. Indeed, the binds to the name p in the grammar.

A ``typical C++ programmer'' writes ``int p;'' and explains it ``p is a pointer to an int'' emphasizing type. Indeed the type of p is int. I clearly prefer that emphasis and see it as important for using the more advanced parts of C++ well.

I think category 13 should be included in their history/culture category, not a category in and of itself.

This is because it goes contrary to the goal of the project, to “...describe how the world makes and uses software today, as well as an overview of how computers work and the foundational technologies required to make and use computers.” I don’t see how separating top level categories at first from functional differences makes sense to then, by category 13, distinguishing merit from biology. It seems patronizing, and a politicization of something they’re stated aim is to be unbiased and logical.

We should discuss women’s contributions, by all means. But quite frankly I don’t care who makes the contribution, I only care about the impact of the contribution.

Therefore, highlighting an aspect of technology, or a recent advancement based purely off of it being from a man/woman or any number of ethnic/cultural backgrounds, is antithetical to the goal of science being unbiased. Literally the point of the scientific method is undoubtedly to remove biases, and find causality. We’re now introducing a new, subjective factor for what’s deemed a reputable contribution not for the contribution itself, but for what political agenda is aimed to be promoted.

Sure, highlight women’s achievements in the cultural category, especially cases where they were lost in history until recently (Margaret Hamilton, Grace Hopper). But don’t pretend to be the pinnacle of objectivity.
Right -- it didn't give the exact same feedback to the pilot that the regular 737 did, which was why MCAS was created. The aircraft is no more or less unstable than a regular 737.

The original 737 does exactly the same thing the Max does with respect to producing a pitch-up moment -- as does nearly every other aircraft. It's just not nearly as pronounced as the Max is.

It depends on your use case. If you're doing relatively straightforward image processing, e.g. resizing on the fly, absolutely Vips is amazing. Check out imgproxy, imaginary, etc.
But for more complex workloads like producing product mockups from incoming user images where you have multiple layers, blend modes, perspective warps, etc. ImageMagick is surprisingly good. We use IM for complex mockups where the inital design is created by a designer in Photoshop - we reproduce all the layer effects in ImageMagick so that it can run server-side with user uploaded images.

I've had the exact same issue with Amazon. I had prime. Suspected suspicious activity. It's been 6 months without resolution. I just created another account but I've been calling in every day since. There is no escalation, I keep getting told the same thing: We have no power, we just submit the form to the Account Specialists. You should be called back in 24 hours. I've not once received a call back. My old account is still being used for fake reviews, while amazon had completely locked out the account from being able to login on any device. I can't log in. Whomever is in my account seems to have complete control through some other method, which would explain how they were able to access my old account, even though I have 2FA and mobile authentication. There is a vulnerability they are not talking about.
In terms of climate change, natural gas is comparable to using coal. The CO2 emissions from a natural gas plant are much lower than a coal plant, but it isn't clear that if you account for methane releases during production/transporting/storage that it is better for climate change than coal.

>...Back in August, a NOAA-led study measured a stunning 6% to 12% methane leakage over one of the country’s largest gas fields — which would gut the climate benefits of switching from coal to gas. We’ve known for a long time that methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (CO2), which is released when any hydrocarbon, like natural gas, is burned. But the IPCC’s latest report, released Monday (big PDF here), reports that methane is 34 times stronger a heat-trapping gas than CO2 over a 100-year time scale, so its global-warming potential (GWP) is 34. That is a nearly 40% increase from the IPCC’s previous estimate of 25. ...The IPCC reports that, over a 20-year time frame, methane has a global warming potential of 86 compared to CO2, up from its previous estimate of 72. Given that we are approaching real, irreversible tipping points in the climate system, climate studies should, at the very least, include analyses that use this 20-year time horizon. Finally, it bears repeating that natural gas from even the best fracked wells is still a climate-destroying fossil fuel. If we are to avoid catastrophic warming, our natural gas consumption has to peak sometime in the next 10 to 15 years, according to studies by both the Center for American Progress and the Union of Concerned Scientists.

https://thinkprogress.org/more-bad-news-for-fracking-ipcc-wa...

As we use more and more natural gas, we can expect more and more methane disasters like the leak from Aliso Canyon in CA which was the largest methane leak in US history. This released over 100,000 tons of methane into the atmosphere and required 11,000 residents to be evacuated.

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35659947

>...Natural gas is also in vastly shorter supply than coal, naturally forcing a transition away from it fairly soon.

Not really. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates in the Annual Energy Outlook 2020 that as of January 1, 2018, there were about 2,828.8 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of technically recoverable resources (TRR) of dry natural gas in the United States. Assuming the same annual rate of U.S. dry natural gas production in 2018 of about 30.6 Tcf, the United States has enough dry natural gas to last about 92 years.

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=58&t=8

And if extracting natural gas becomes too expensive, countries can just make synthetic natural gas from coal like China does.
> ”Environmental regulations cost money. Lots of money.”

That’s a narrow-minded view. Sure, environmental regulations cost oil and gas companies money.

But this fails to consider the external costs to society: increased healthcare costs and reduced life expectancy due to air and water pollution, future costs of global heating including property damage to coastal cities from rising sea levels, agricultural regions becoming less productive, etc.

Secondly, reducing dependence on fossil fuels (many of which are imported, even in America) will improve energy security and reduce energy costs in the long term. Great economic benefits, as well as environmental ones.
