> the simultaneous purchase and sale of the same securities, commodities, or foreign exchange in different markets to profit from unequal prices.

What’s being bought and sold? Who’s the counterparty?

I’m not arguing right and wrong, just that you can’t call any permissionless extraction of value from a contract “arbitrage trade”.

And again, incorrectly assuming that 1) it somehow sets a precedent 2) the people making the decision then are the same that would be making it today 3) the overlapping people would make the same decision today as then 4) the EF and core devs have a strong authority on these matters

There’s always ETC if you want to stay on the timeline where the DAO hack executed as specified without being overridden. No one forced anyone to fork.
Indeed, anyone who has used actors IRL projects it goes well beyond just isolation and message passing. That’s just the foundation which higher abstractions are built, which is why it’s still comparable to Go/CSP at this level.

> It does a lot to signal intent which using an if statement for early return does not.

Since every single language has an if statement, we clearly know what intent an if block signals.

If the if condition is not meant, execution cannot continue. See? Easy.

The only reason guard exists is not to aid the reader, but to aid the compiler to recognise nullability checks. That's about it. It really is a very specific if statement that is given a special treatment. And all comparisons of how great it is compared to an if statement I've seen are hillariously funny in how they willingly lie about ifs. Starting with the actual Swift docs [1]:

> Using a guard statement for requirements improves the readability of your code, compared to doing the same check with an if statement. It lets you write the code that’s typically executed without wrapping it in an else block

Here's how people take it to heart [2]:

> Without using guard, we’d end up with a big pile of code that resembles a pyramid of doom. This doesn’t scale well

Nope, you don't end up with a pyramid of doom, and yes it does scale well, provided you language designers actually design the language.

I'm sorry, that is completely useless advice. The manpages randomly bumble around in the abstraction level of their "explanations" and rarely use words that the average person would think of first to describe something.
Why make Emacs another non-Emacs editor? Having mentored people (programming Clojure) who tried to learn Emacs via Spacemacs or some other "make it dumb" package, even after 6 months, they understood nothing about Emacs. They couldn't solve problems not solved by the "make it dumb" package. While I appreciate the effort going into these packages, I don't see them meeting their goal: Helping people to learn Emacs. They only help people to not learn Emacs while using it like a standard editor.

The whole Central and Western Europe used to be heavily forested. The reason almost none of those forests remain is largely the iron and steel industry’s thirst for charcoal during the early modernity and the industrial revolution.

I find the project somewhat confusing.

When I went there, a few years ago, visitors were allowed to stay only in one hotel. Also, infamously, one of the presumed hotels is essentially a façade, which is not mentioned (but the hotel is in the cover!).

Since the population is poor, and there is little mobility across the country, I doubt that they have six hotels in a functional sense.

However, this a photography book, right? Well, they did an obscene amount of photoretouching (pretty much like all the modern photography); the saturation is cranked up to 11. I remember a couple of the locations depicted, and they were completely unremarkable in real life.

So, my suspicion is that this book is more of a "staged hotels of Pyongyang" rather than something substantial.

Regarding your question. IMO, it's worth visiting NK (which is Pyongyang, essentially, with brief tours outside the city) for no more than around three days. There's virtually nothing to see after that, especially considering that you must follow the plan.

What I find interesting in NK is to be present in an authoritarian regime. I can't say "to experience", because the experience itself is staged. But even knowing that, I find it interesting. It's also unsettling to know that you're in their hands.

Despite what they say, the atmosphere is not heavy. My theory about Otto Warmbier is that he got drunk and did something stupid. Imagine going to NK as being in a church; if you don't scream and misbehave, nothing happens. I can imagine, on large scale, people doing stupid things, and that likely will happen. But that's speculation on my part.

Definitely don't go with the Young Pioneer Tours (they were Warmbier's tour operator, and NK is not anymore in their destinations). They're a bunch of irresponsible, incompetent and dishonest people (I had my own misadventure with them). People like that should never be in charge of such delicate jobs.

I'm still pissed about the number of people who refuse to acknowledge cetacean intelligence. Even ignoring the scientific studies performed by people like John C.

Ah, got it.

I personally feel like the spirit of OSD9 is primarily about not affecting unrelated programs. I think it'd be reasonable to affect related programs. I think the current version of SSPL oversteps wildly in that regard, but I feel like it could be pared back to something that would be consistent with what I'd consider to be the spirit of OSD9 (and the rest of the OSD), while still doing what it seems like the SSPL is trying to do.

In doing so, I'd focus on "such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available", and drop all the specific service examples in favor of something like "any software you have made the Program depend on, such that the Program lacks some functionality compared to your service if that software is not present (even if you have made the Program support running without that functionality)". That would be broader than the comparable boundary of the AGPL, but much narrower than the current SSPL, insofar as it would only cover things the Program has been modified to depend on, rather than surrounding hosting infrastructure.

In any case, I don't think it very likely that MongoDB would be willing to make such changes, but if they did, I think it'd be possible to arrive at a license that would pass the OSD.
ultimately if there value , word of mouth works pretty well .

Firefox does not have a brand visibility problem , no amount of marketing will convince users if the browser is not significantly better. If the value is marginal convenience trumps.

Firefox did not gain market share orginally because they did better marketing than IE. They became big because they built a better product.

Chrome became because of the same reason too. They did a lot of early innovations with per tab process isolation headless or v8 decoupling and myriad to new features giving performance boost and making it possible for projects like electron to exist.

Firefox got a major usage boost post quantum.

If they could rebuild the full stack on rust there will be a massive usage boost.

Mozilla is in a unique position they don't have revenue targets or shareholders to please. They have users, and a single customer who is also their only competitor.

It is no brainier to say largest chunk of investment should have gone there.

P.S. yes google has a unfair advantage, they implement web standards well before it is accepted then force their version by sheer force the market dominance. This is not new IE did it to netscape . However google also owns a lot of the pages people visit. They will optimize their sites for their browser. This is why youtube will always be faster in chrome than firefox.
> I like to brainstorm in terms of data from the very beginning, which means brainstorming in terms of types.

It's funny, because I feel the same way, except I gravitate towards Clojure, where data is just data (and you stick it in vectors and hashmaps), and I don't feel the need for static types. At a later point, I may think about adding specs, but for quickly iterating at the REPL while I think about a problem, "plain data" works wonders.
This is super cool and I can see tons of practical applications. I wonder if you could utilize this technology with SOFAR Channels in the ocean to create long range passive data transfers.

Never mind - their contributing.md document makes clear it isn't a FOSS project.
---------------

I wasn't familiar with Craft. Looking at it they seem to have their own license and it seems pretty restrictive. Can anyone point to any existing discussions about the implications of the license and if it is truly open source?

I understand FOSS projects that have some kind of payment option, but I don't understand how the code can be available but there is no way to run it without paying for it. The language of the license is also rather informal. As a layman it has an appeal to me but at the same time I'm wondering how some of those things are defined.

They should not be asking for help it should be a given. It can be the state's work to establish procedures and checks based on real needs rather than private organizations for advertising purposes. This has proven to be inconsistent and not sustainable, I mean for the people. As for the companies they are producing pretty good posters, which also count as part of the charity budget.
> Well, that civilization need a sport too.

This legit made me laugh. Thanks for this.
I mostly use c++ at work, I used to be a big emacs fan and use emacs with etags, now using company’s internal IDE that has better auto suggestions and auto completion. The IDE has more syntactically and semantically accurate and useful suggestions thanks to its powerful distributed static analysis and close integration with internal code repository, bug tracker, unit test/continuous testing infra, code review system, docs, monitoring... whatever dev needs. It runs on internal cloud spanning over lots of data centers at global for scalability and failover.

I may still use basic text editing in emacs or vim for simple scripting, but not for real development.

I am mostly writing distributed software and so far never need to use other editors for actual dev. Sometimes I was thinking: we can definitely extend or rewrite emacs to be like the powerful IDE, but it is probably just in theory.

Oh btw, did I mention the great IDE can seamlessly add headers, type declarations, fix build dependencies, fix grammar errors and typos, ... ?

The dev infrastructure and experience probably count 40% of reason why I want to stay in my current company.

Does anyone know why Drupal wasn’t considered?
You’re right, I should have mentioned that the Buddha and the Tripitaka do talk about “what does someone do after being enlightened.” To sum it up, once someone is fully enlightened (arahant) they would either live as a monk (otherwise they’d still be attached to household fetters) or choose to die.

In the Tripitaka there are not many examples of lay people who reach arahant stage. In the Milindapanha Buddha is supposedly asked directly whether layman can attain arahant stage, and he says "If a layman attains arahant-ship, only two destinations await him; either he must enter the Order that very day or else he must attain parinibbàna (nibanna upon death).

It’s clear from Tripitaka that anyone could obtain arahant stage but obviously if you were free of ten fetters it would be seemingly impossible to live another lifestyle except one described as monastic.

Unorthodox Buddhists (Mahayana, Tibetan, Zen, etc.) reject some or most of the orthodox concept of enlightenment. But IMO it’s telling that their alternative conception of enlightenment is both indescribable and lacking a systematic path to attain, which very much contradicts Buddha’s message (I’ve found the way and therefor I can tell you the way, and if you follow you will reach the destination as I have).
Is wp still php?

What if you want a cdn outcome which doesn't drive to an sql backend?

I've yet to experience wp consciously without it making me wince. I know a lot of former print press is using it, so the for profit sector likes it. That does not axiomatically make it best of breed.

Being php is also not axiomatically worst of breed. The questions are decoupled really.

1) is wp still php

2) is wp best of breed.

3) if you want static site through cdn is wp the best fit?
The Bank of England used to do this to some extent - it was only four years ago that they closed these, which were available to government departments, companies and employees. They concluded that these customers would better served by conventional and online banking services, and that their resources were better spent on their main purpose.
Really? I'm flattered! To me it's just a simple description of what I'm guessing something might be supposed to refer to, but if it's sufficiently non-obvious to others...

Well, I haven't kept a list, but here's another that comes to mind. Someone's signature was "How do you prepare for death? Learn to live. How do you learn to live? Prepare for death."

On the face of it, this is a trollish non-answer. However, there is a way to interpret it. The first sentence is straightforward: Death is going to happen, how do I prepare for it? The second sentence is saying: You can't stop it, so the best you can do is figure out what to do with the life that you have. The third sentence is also straightforward: How do I figure out what to do with my life? The fourth sentence is saying: Imagine you're going to die, figure out your obligations that you'd want to fulfill before you die, fulfill them now, and then you will have freedom to focus on exploring what you really want to do. The phrases "prepare for death" and "learn to live" are each used twice, with different intended meanings each time.

There is always the possibility of getting a quote that is actually nonsense and was meant as nonsense (or, today, was generated by a computer), and "interpreting" wisdom into it that comes from the interpreter rather than from the quote. Or there could be multiple, similarly wise-seeming interpretations. For example, I could have interpreted the fourth sentence instead as: Imagine you're going to die; then, from that perspective, observe which things seem important and which no longer seem so important; thus, the thought-exercise of imagining you'll die is an exercise that teaches you how to live.

It's possible that cryptic sayings were devised to hold wisdom. It's also possible that they were devised by trolls surrounded by gullible admirers. Perhaps there were wise people who, as an apparently necessary evil, made themselves look cryptically impressive so as to attract funding from gullible rulers, or to keep their ideas from being misused by outsiders who might have bad intent. Perhaps there was a mixture of trolls and well-intentioned wise people. I really don't know.

I am generally a fan of straightforward textbook explanations that don't play word games, or, if they do, they have straightforward explanations of the word games. Still, it is possible that there's something to the cryptic stuff. And so it can be a fun game to try to get meaning from them.
The article says due to front end complexity. It's in the last sentence of the section with that header.
