I'd contend that the obvious, dead simple and user-friendly way to deal with this is not treat `a<b>(c)` the same as `a < b > (c)`. Mandate whitespace on both sides of relational operators and forbid it where it would look wrong anyway in generic expressions. Ambiguity resolved at the lexing level.

This is true, but it (mostly) not an externalized cost. By forcing environmental costs to be internalized by industry, the market should guide industry away from damaging the environment. Of course that would require honest, complete, and well enforced regulation.
Stream API is bad example of design IMO. Checked exceptions are not integrated (even if I don't like them, they're part of the language and are not going anywhere soon it seems). Simple operations require lots of ceremony (list.map(x -> x + 1) vs list.stream().map(x -> x + 1).collect(Collectors.toList())). Also Java lambdas can't change outer variables, so one have to resort to old tricks with one-item arrays.

Java lambdas are just syntax sugar for anonymous class from language point of view. They're implemented differently under the hood, but they don't bring anything new to developer, they just save few lines of code which is nice, but could be much better.

I'm not sure I even believe you. Maybe you would refuse to do it because you don't want to, but you've spent 25 years as a successful developer and you can't write out fizzbuzz on a whiteboard?

I haven't been a professional developer for anywhere near 25 years, but I could write fizzbuzz while blindfolded, on a wet bar napkin after a couple of drinks, in any one of at least half a dozen languages.

If someone asked you to write down the answer to 3+5 would you struggle with that as well? To me, fizzbuzz is barely a set up in terms of complexity.

The parent comment doesn't suggest that the conditions tightened. They are merely calling out that the loosening does not cover this new first party product, and suggests this might not be a coincidence.

As this thread demonstrates, the maneuver was quite successful, if the idea was to give the impression they are becoming less anticompetitive rather than more so!

1. Licensing costs are higher for more complex chips. So that one extra CPU chip is likely to cost a lot more.

An idea is to get the companies to internalize these costs through a carbon tax which can be invested into climate change action (which is another story). At the moment, the consequence is that companies have zero incentive to act for the planet, so they will continue their behaviors.

Perhaps they pass some of these costs down to consumers which makes them less likely to purchase (and then litter) non-biodegradables. Or they can provide a cheaper good to avoid a carbon tax which encourages consumer to buy that alternative.
Dyalog APL Tutor
I think he might be refering to tendencies some people have to look at accessories to get hints at a person.

For instance it is an old people’s saying in Japan to look at someone’s shoes to know if they are rich/value good objects (the basis of that was that poor/undiscerning people would have poor shoes maintenance, or plain bad shoes).

Or you would tell someone’s rank in a company by the amount of stuff he (was about men, yes) was carrying every morning (basis was higher ranked people would have less manual roles)

Of course these saying become pointless and people find other stupid stuff to look at to rank other people on a scale. But yeah, in my short experience it’s a thing people train to do, and is valued as useful skill.

Also as people tend to dress rather uniformly, so you need a decent amount of effort to stand out without being flashy, which means trying to prove good taste with exotic and expensive but plain looking goods, that you justify owning by touting their good quality and not their high price.
I've resorted to trying to figure out the shortcut names I can just type into the win+r prompt to get to a certain submenu.

e.g.:

win+r:
desk.cpl -> monitor resolution/refresh rate settings
main.cpl -> mouse/keyboard settings
mmsys.cpl -> audio device settings
ms-settings: -> new Settings page (the : is required)

I recall being able to access a sub-page by adding something after 'ms-settings:' but I haven't yet figured out how to discover the names of the pages.
I don't think they were suggesting it was irrelevant, I think they were saying that Apple and fans often value aesthetic over functional quality, which is certainly not wrong.
I hear you, I went through the same thing when I was learning various AWS services. I knew servers but "the cloud" was just so foreign to me so I hired someone to basically shadow me on teamviewer while on a phone call at a consulting rate a few hours per week.

This is not a standalone DB. Its a key-value store implemented as a library. You would want this if you were a Go developer working on an application that needed a built in key-value store.

If you were a Rust developer you'd want something similar written in Rust.

I work in an industry R&D group. We're a Python shop, for the most part. I've noticed that when we hire recent graduates, it pretty much doesn't matter if they've used MATLAB or Python. If they're likely to become good coders, then they come up to speed on Python equally quickly.

If not, then MATLAB tends to have more canned apps that they can use as-is or modify, but they're also unlikely to get deeply into computational work anyway.

My daughter took a college class that involved some programming, and they were told that they could use the tool of their choice, MATLAB, Python, whatever. I suggested: Use whatever the teacher is using, which happened to be MATLAB.

A benefit of MATLAB is that for basic use, it all comes from one place, and there's pretty much exactly one way to set it up. This practically eliminates the day wasted getting the tools working on each student's computer.

With Python, unless you give them strict instructions to use a particular repository such as Anaconda, or an online tool, they will discover a myriad of blogs with conflicting advice on how to get Python running, with the most opinionated having the worst advice.

With that said, so long as I've followed a consistent recipe for getting Python onto a computer, It's always been great. I've been quite happy with WinPython.

i see that it can be plugged in for power, but also has a battery, which is a nice feature. does that also allow for data transfer?
>I don't see where consumers are on the hook? We were told that plastic was better (e.g. the switch from paper bags to plastic).

No, that's just fraud. Externality has a very specific meaning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externality. In this case a third party isn't bearing the cost. It's still the consumer (via taxes or garbage disposal fees).

>As a comparison to electronics industry in many jurisdictions there are recycling fees paid at the time of purchase.

That's simply a different way of raising funds for waste disposal. I suspect it's not used for other forms of packaging because they don't require special handling, and therefore the cost is so marginal that it's not worth collecting.
> I'm gonna raise admins, while the school raises ignorant complacent users

This was my favourite comment here. And it captures the participatory essence of the Stallman article.
But nowhere on this page of comments did I see the concept of "digital literacy" mentioned - and how schools that do not bring at least a critical discussion to their choice of OS/SaaS/PaaS etc are failing and behind the times. If this discussion is not happening in schools, where is it going to happen?

Lots of mention on this page went to how much/whether programming knowledge is needed for the free/open software. To this discussion, and to return to the comment at the incipit, even the smallest offering of access to coding can - through experience (to get all John Deweyean here) - transform students from users into makers. A very basic example would be the difference between the Google Classroom UI and a wiki interface (PM wiki, Doku wiki) which by default puts more emphasis on the student and their collaborative role.

And Dewey noted (Problems of Men, 1946, p.61) that it is society's loss if the educational system is not providing ample opportunity for students to discover their voice and where their talent lies. In conclusion, the passivity involved in using certain apps further blocks the potential for interdisciplinary exploration, in at least one or two class components. But here I am giving a poor man's rendition of Engelbart's vision.

What's subtly tricky about my language is that not all function arguments are valid expressions. For instance I allow:

I once thought the same thing. I am from the red party, so I vote red most of the time.

However, the current red candidate is dangerous. I'll explain why. Someone who makes arbitrary decisions, can make any decision.

Even if they agree with your principals, and on the surface Mr. Red argues for Red policies (e.g. reducing illegal immigration), their actual implementation of it is atrocious (e.g. massive concentrations camps at the border, huge budget overruns, and tacit violations of civil liberties) and the results are poor in practice (e.g. fewer deportations than Mr. Blue who came before him).

A person who doesn't have consistent core beliefs, will always release an incoherent plan.

The Blue's may not see eye-to-eye with me, but at least their practices are understandable and can simply be rolled back in the next term.

Disclaimer: I may be biased, because shortly after taking office Mr. Red was photographed smiling next to a dictator who recently murdered a student in my alma mater university.

Gates' wealth keeps increasing. Sure he gives a lot away but, but he is making 1+ billion per year above what he gives away.

It is great that money is going to charity, it is great that money previously belonging to Gates' is going to charity, but I would be far more impressed by you if you donated $100/year to the Internet Archive than I am if Bill Gates donated $100 million.

In other words, I don't think anyone claims that $100 will help more than $100 million, but there is no great personal moral achievement in giving away something you don't need and can't use.

Colorblindness works in most parts of the world

Citation please? I bet it only works where everyone is the same color (Norway?) or where there is a mix but no history of one class oppressing another (Singapore?). In most places that come to mind, color/class is still an issue where oppression has been the legacy (South Africa, Australia, US, India, China). The hard part for the formerly oppressed is when the former oppressors say "let's all be equal now" after centuries of having an advantage
What we now recognize (and decry) as greed looks very similar to the force that created intelligent life from primordial soup. Greed, ambition, and Darwinian fitness seem close to synonymous.

You understand that this is basically the service that the credit bureaus perform? Each creditor is a reference for the debtor, in a centralized location that is easy to access so people who are interested in determining the likelihood of repayment can quickly collect relevant references.

Please don't take this as some sort of endorsement of the behavior of the specific credit bureaus we have today, but I don't see the same massive distinction between your vetting method and running a credit/background check on an individual, other than yours being much less likely to produce an accurate assessment.

I ask myself this a lot as someone who pays for both Spotify and Youtube Premium (which includes Youtube Music).

Youtube music has all of the music ever posted on youtube which is nice because it means you can generally find almost anything there (even obscure stuff not on Spotify). Unfortunately this can also make it harder to find what you are looking for, youtube music is full of low quality user submitted covers/remixes of songs that I don't want to hear but sometimes it plays anyways. Sometimes youtube music will have versions of songs that were really meant to accompany a music video and not the standalone song itself which is annoying to say the least.

The app is also far less capable as a standalone music app. Never has any lyrics, this weird concept of switching between video and audio, hard to view all fo the work of a particular artist/group on one page, no continuity between mobile and desktop a la Spotify. The hand curated playlists are also updated less than the ones on Spotify. Interestingly the machine generated recommendations from Spotify have also always been much better than that of Youtube Music, which is strange given how good Youtubes video recommendation algorithm has gotten in recent years.

On top of all of this I have been using Spotify since 2013; I have a massive amount of music in my library there that I have no way of porting over to Youtube Music.
There could very easily be such a formula.

The only interesting things in it are whether you set firmwide/regional minimums/maximums, and how far you allow the ranking to move your numbers from everyone getting the same increase - eg, does the top ranked employee get 5% more than the median employee, or 50% more?
