The package manager itself doesn't necessarily care if package maintainers strictly follow semantic versioning. The version resolution algorithm usually presumes packages do. But if they don't, the package manager don't care.

This was the core point I was trying to make - other package managers correctly leave this negotiation on how much breakage is acceptable to producers and consumers, they do not impose strict semver but a looser one, and importers choose how strict they want to be on tracking changes in their requirements file (go.mod or similar), while producers choose how strict they are going to be with their semver (strict semver is almost never used in its pure form for good reasons, versions communicate more than breaking changes).

The result of this change to go imposing strict semver on both parties will be IMO far more breaking changes, because it explicitly encourages them and forces importers to always choose a major version. It's a change of culture from previous go releases and will have significant impact on behaviour.

We'll also end up with a bifurcated ecosystem with producers who don't like the change staying on v1 and others breaking their packages all the time and leaving frustrated consumers behind on older versions without bug fixes.

Decision table's are really good at representing complex rules, in a language with pattern matching u can convert a nested if else block to a decision table that is much more readable, as an example see https://github.com/finos/morphir-examples/blob/master/src/Mo...
That’s not what it means. It means there will be things not covered by law, which is probably fine. There is no need for law to be all covering. I posit that the set of things that is desireable for law coverage is finite.

Ah interesting - I’m not Canadian so don’t know much about their tax law.

You’re probably right and I had a confused misunderstanding. I only looked briefly to see what it’d be like if the election goes south and things get worse in the US.

US long term capital gains is only 15% up to 400k and 20% after that which is really good.

[Edit] Reading that turbo tax article it seems like only 50% of the gain is taxed at all and of that gain the maximum tax is under 15%? Is this just Ontario tax and there’s more federal or something else?

That seems really good?

Nothing about security?
I'd love to discuss with others here something related.

I have lately (to my surprise) been drawn by some talks of Antonin Scalia on Youtube. Far from being repelled (or amused at his standing alone) as I was years ago by his coming down on the opposite side of judgements I thought were socially just and good, I now come to understand better what he was doing. At least if you believe his talks.

After listening to his talks (and then thinking back to his opinions), I understand he was trying to make sure that the Constitution was followed to the letter of the law, and that if the people were unhappy with it, let them change it so that it reflected the popular desires. But let it follow that process. Not have social or political will creep its way in via individual judges' or courts' determination something was now "acceptable enough" that it could be ruled to have evolved and be constitutional at the present time.

And that the writers of the Constitution were trying to prevent disaster as much as trying to enable progress -- and that we should be careful when we stray from the words encoding that goal, because when you do that it opens up all sorts of unintended consequences.

(Hence the connection to this OP's story + comments about law as source code.)

This really opened my eyes about what that aspect of judicial conservatism is about. Not that I agree with all of its philosophy or tendency (in politics) to court a certain sector of the vote, for example. But it did arouse in me a respect for the guy, to know that for example:

If you start relying or putting upon certain institutions (the courts) in society responsibilities or goals to effect the change you want, that may not always be the right thing to do, although it may be the easy / politically expedient thing to do at the present time. Because there may come a day when that power might go opposite to what you wanted (or more importantly, what is right). And maybe what this country's founders set up was consciously a decision to keep things from going off the tracks when too many people thought some rules should simply be imposed by judges because it was the popular thing to do.

Other unintended side effects may include: politicization of the judiciary, which we know all too well today.

I would encourage anyone curious to listen to some of his talks (especially the Q&A). Honestly, it really did open my eyes to hear about it. Maybe I'm getting more conservative in my old age, but when you're a person responsible for others and some process, you start to appreciate this kind of thinking.

And besides all that, what a personality and entertaining figure, and powerhouse of knowledge. I wish I had appreciated more of this thinking earlier.
In a networking discussion, L2 always means Layer 2. If the subject of caching came up the author would say "I'm talking about L2 cache here."

It's like TTL. It means one thing in a networking context but something totally different in a digital logic context.

But granted, somebody with no networking background wouldn't necessarily know that.

The graph shows 50 companies (they don't do a good job at scaling the site, but the data is there).

Netscale and Amazon are only anecdotes and pure exceptions of the dot.com era. The set of companies that went burst during this period because of bad management is composed of at least 15 publicly traded companies. If your compensation included shares of any of these quick IPOs (AOL, Yahoo, pets.com, Global Crossing, etc.) your shares would have ultimately be zero as well (compounding interest is what makes you wealthy with these long-term horizon packages and you wouldn't have sold all your shares at ipo).
Not yet manufactured doesn't is not the same as fake.
Debian from the exterior sounds like the anti-corporate organization: flat hierarchy, top-notch democracy, self-directed work with almost no top-down guidance/"orders". And not so surprisingly, that also cause problems. Let's not forget the high barrier to entry for contributors.

Yeah I’m also confused by this. Debian has an opportunity to reiterate that free software isn’t just a pipe dream volunteer effort but rather that there is business being software authorities without the baggage of a slew of software patents and terms and license agreements. Perhaps if they paid core maintainers it would ostracize other contributors who didn't make the cut? Perhaps they don’t want to become a Canonical and have to answer to steak holders? There’s value in being frugal but you also meed to know your own value or others will take advantage of you.
The growth is what makes it worth millions.

If you were at Amazon, Facebook, or Google for part of the last ten years and held your equity comp you probably did very well even though the grants at the time were “only” 100-150k or something.

I started working in 2012, people I know that joined snap chat around then and the next year or so after made seven figures (some eight) easily in that IPO.
I wish Mozilla mimics Debian or Linux development organization. It earns hundreds of millions and can't keep pace with chrome.

When someone is an intelligent, disciplined person - as someone who becomes a Supreme Court Justice certainly is - you can assume their deeply held opinions are very carefully reasoned.

I would say that there is copious evidence of the effort by some to degrade the role of white men in society today, often simply in the name of diversity. The relegation of high achieving men is a hallmark of foundering societies.
“We have what I would call a concentration camp system,” Pitzer says, “and the definition of that in my book is, mass detention of civilians without trial.”

Here we have category of "person invents a definition that advances their political goals."

GP's point stands that invoking what is signified to most readers by "concentration camp" is in a different universe from what you're talking about.

This is dredging up some long-unused memories but you should be able to get a bit more memory by supplying the RAM parameter to emm386. Get yourself some upper memory blocks (UMBs) - usable memory above the 640 K mark.

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS RAM HIGHSCAN

(HIGHSCAN directs EMM386 to try harder to find upper memory blocks.)

Then use FILESHIGH to set the file count.

FILESHIGH=30

MEM should show you now have some upper memory (some of it now used by the files area), and slightly more conventional memory free.
I think it raises a really interesting question. Since our legal system is based on rationalism and the scientific process, and we know that an axiomatic, logical system cannot completely describe all truths within its domain, then how can we hope to provide a fair judicial process, or to make sure that our collection of laws actually disambiguates rules in concordance with their supposed ethical justifications?

Impressive:

> Ghost is a single-rotor aircraft. The mechanicals of the rotor system are harder to design and manufacture than a DJI-style quadcopter, and flight controls are harder to program, but the result is much lower aerodynamic disk loading that results in longer endurance (over 100 minutes with real mission payloads), near-silent acoustic signature, high max payload capacity (dozens of pounds), and high speed. Compare this with a DJI Inspire 2, a high-end offering that costs $3000 that can lumber around with a couple pounds for 24 to 27 minutes, props screaming.

> Ghost is autonomous, powered by an onboard AI Core that can perform 32 trillion operations per second.
>Why would you want a union?

Same reason anyone wants a union: to reduce structural asymmetry. In this case, the asymmetry in question is information. Think of the hypothetical union as you and your coworkers all pitching in to get a really good lawyer to review your employment contracts and vesting terms.

>figure out how much your skills are worth on the market

The problem is that there isn't a public orderline for compensation. Observing even a single bid takes significant effort, so figuring out where the fair price is with any degree of precision is hard. And it's fundamentally harder for workers than it is for employers.

More importantly, because of the issues with equity, even those scarce observations are fuzzy. Comparing two equity packages from non-public companies is hard, and it's ridiculous (or, depending on your interpretation, cunningly malicious) to put that burden on every single employee individually. You're paid to be an expert in software engineering and a partial domain expert in whatever the company does; having to also be an expert in finance and obscure tax law to even know how much you're getting paid is unreasonable.
I think the best part about Slashdot in its best days were the people. You could be reading and article about Python and it was possible to see Guido in the comments. And while that was rare, the other upvoted comments were usually high quality from really knowledgable people and the noise was held down pretty well. As the good commentors left, all that was left is the noise. If you go now and look at comments often everything is downvoted excepted for a small number of o.k. comments. But most of the experts and really knowledgable people are gone.

HN seems to have filled some of the gap it left but I don't know of any other site since that has the same volume of really high quality content. I see some comments here blaming the inability for everyone to do metamoderation - but I'd say it was the opposite. When they had decent editors things were great. Your content will be as good as your moderators and I think reddit proves that simply having more of them doesn't assure better content.

>I think you should look into domain theory it is one of the most celebrated discoveries pertaining to the semantics of functional programming languages. And maybe you'll understand that from a programming point of view, what a function is is much more flexible and subtle than you think.

Sure I could. But "context matters." This is not the topic of the conversation. There's a level of depth we're operating at here. Very few people understand "domain theory" and you shouldn't assume as much when you communicate with anyone.
So, you are now a researcher or scientists?

You don't really have any idea where opposition to GMO foods originates. You guess that it is reflexive and unthinking because that is convenient for you to guess.

There are strong arguments against, not necessarily GMO as a technology, but practically all existing commercial uses of it. Furthermore, each use of it is potentially an independent problem with its own dangers. Thus far the only beneficial use of it I have heard of is "yellow rice", which is not actually available, for purely capitalistic reasons.
I'm not a 9-11 truther, but am interested in conspiracy theories and studied the ones around 9-11 at length. Many are of course nonsense or simply poorly informed, but there were many sincere inquirers who raised troubling questions about everything from forensic incongruities to the bizarre chain of unlikely coincidences in the official narrative. I mostly turned away from the subject after the NIST reports emerged, though I was interested to note that some people were still researching the topic and expected to learn more from time to time as computational and informational capabilities improved, just as we have learned more about many historical events, such as the eruption of Vesuvius.

On a preliminary read, this seems a thoughtful and cogently argued review of the literature. However I don't agree with all of the author's conclusions by any means, notably his allegation that Osama bin Laden was killed in late 2001; if so, military and political strategists have constructed a very elaborate narrative of failure to cover up their success eg https://www.foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/S%20Prt%20111-3...

While doubting some of the assertions, I agree with the author's general contention that academic inquiry has failed by allowing 9-11 to be investigated as a purely criminal enterprise while accepting some well-known and flaws and widely-acknowledged lacunae therein (eg the exact nature of the US-Saudi relationship in relation to these matters). A historic and strategic reassessment is long overdue.

It's also possible that the publication of a paper like this might arise out of other states' desire to strategically distance themselves from or redefine their relationships with the US, and what they know or believe about the events of 9-11 could be secondary to the desire to change their own national conversation on the topic.
I think there's a difference between thinking options are worth zero, and not buying them or going to companies you expect to be worthless.

I doubt most people go to a company they expect will literally have no value. If you're going to a private company it's either because you think it will be valuable, you think the work is interesting which could possibly make it valuable, you get an insane salary offer or because you can't find another job.

In basically every case, you understand the company has possible value, which could translate into increased wealth.

The idea is simply that its not worth anything until it is. Once you're in the company and can feel out the actual trajectory and faith in the business, you can decide if you want to buy the shares.

Nearly everyone I've worked with across multiple companies have purchased up most or all their shares, even when they expressed how little faith they had in the company. If you're doing that, what does it matter if you sat down and crunched the numbers? You still got the lottery ticket.
A vulnerability like a double spend attack would be valuable, but the ability to trace transactions wouldn't necessarily be profitable outside of a blackmail scheme.
Good article. Pity that it doesn't mention RocketCake in the list of website builders, but apart from that it gives a very good overview.

Ironic that we are moving back to static websites, but I think that's actually a good thing.
I recently went on a hiking trip and this issue caused a bit of grief from my friends.

At the end of the first day, a few of us tracking our progress with GPS said we had gone about 18 miles. The mapping software we had used (Gaia) had shown we had only made about 12 miles of progress on our 82 mile track.

I'm used to GPS overestimating distances since it tends to jump around on the trail a bit (and it still jumps around when you're paused) but the differences throughout the trip were much larger than I would expect.

Our 82 mile trip ended up being 104 miles, which my friends weren't really prepared for.

Examining the map closer, some of the trails we were on were pretty roughly approximated on the map (way fewer switchbacks, long straight lines, etc.)

I'm not allowed to plan our hiking trips anymore...
They never invented it for themselves. Attracting nitrogen-fixing bacteria turned out to be easier. Nature loves easier.
Not necessarily, but think about it: you’re given a month left to live. 30 days. Does it make any sense to spend time and energy being bitter and angry, and spend some of that time on people you dislike so that you can get revenge after you’re dead (and thus won’t even be around to see)? In my opinion, you have to be miserable to even entertain the possibility vs spending all the time you have enjoying yourself and saying goodbye to the people you actually do love.
Because Tim Bernese-Lee did it this way and stated he wished he had done it the other way. It was somewhat arbitrary then, and makes less sense now than before.
If you set an unrealistic goal that you won't accomplish but try really hard to reach it, in most cases your end result and the progress you made along the way will be far far better than when you set a realistic goal and reach it.

I always set unrealistic bars for myself. And in the end I get more from not reaching my goal than I would from reaching a lower one.
