Polymorphism is not an OOP concept. Behaviors are like interfaces, not inheritance. Behaviors allow dynamic dispatch but let's not try to fit OOP where it doesn't belong.

When people talk about how similar are OOP and FP languages they miss the elephant in the room - immutability.
This is what always gets me about the "NATO doesn't pay their fair share" debate.

First of all, they're not talking about NATO's budget, they are talking about each countries share of defense spending compared to the total defense spending of all NATO countries.

But that's kind of pointless, because NATO was for defending Europe from the Soviet Union. While the US has 800 military bases and had 2 land wars at once for basically 15 years. On top of the entire Navy. Of course it's defense spending is going to be higher.

Every American seems to forget that if they want a better balance in defense spending within NATO that the US could also lower its spending, in stead of Europe raising it.

Historical reason: the rails were built by freight companies and not by the government like in most of Europe. For them, passenger trains are, at best, an afterthought that doesn't matter.
I'd recommend reading the "Elkhound" paper [1], which introduces a GLR parser that's really easy to implement and very powerful, they use it in the paper to parse a large subset of C++. GLR parsers are so much more powerful and intuitive than recursive descent parser (I find), and they often make grammars easier to read and understand.

That said if you're building a real programming language it makes sense to build the parser by hand as it often runs faster. For example, my GLR Python parsers clocked in at around 100.000-300.000 lines of Python code per second, while the regular Python parser could do 5-10 times as much per second (including tokenizing, parsing and AST generation). Looking at the amount of Python code that is parsed every day, this is a significant difference.

> You’d require that the monopoly offer a straightforward full-text-based document retrieval API that implements several different ranking algorithms and bills per search. You’d forbid it from engaging in any advertising businesses. Then you’d free up people to build consumer-facing search interfaces and compete to sell advertising on them.

What does selling ads look like if search is not a monopoly? As an advertiser in the new world, I'd have to go around and buy ads on all the new search front-ends. I probably want to pay them proportionally to how much traffic they get (well, conversions, but let's say traffic). If there's a small number of large front-ends then maybe I go to each of them directly, but if there's a long tail of front-ends then probably there'd be a search middleman who the various front-ends contract with... I guess there's still Google Search, and Google AdSense, but now AdSense also sells ads on other front-ends, and Google Search works with other brokers besides AdSense?
Anyone know some fantasy fiction with the above premise in it?
I have ulcerative colitis so have had many many colonoscopies. General anaesthetic is never used in UK but twilight sedation is normal. I refuse this as (after an unpleasant gastroscopy) I can't stand having tubes stuck up my orifices while I'm unable to fully intellectualise what's happening. They're usually happy to give a bit of fentanyl instead.

My experience is that GI doctors enjoy chatting during the procedure but specialist nurses (who often perform minor endoscopies) are usually not very communicative.
No, you don't have that option for any site that matters. For instance, even if your bank uses nothing but AGPLed software, you can't just "git clone" their code and run your own fork of their online banking site.

Or: even if Facebook were thoroughly AGPLed, running your own copy would be next to useless because only you and three other people would be there.

Not having a copy of the exact software that services are running is not what is gnawing away at your freedom. It's completely the wrong problem to be focusing on.

Oh thank you for such a good feedback.

Well, as a first step I thought that if we have a site with changing content, like a blog, then the area of blog posts occupies some percentage of the site. So we can correct the threshold, like, if the picture has changed more than 50% then alarm.

Regarding static sites: well yes, they are easy to protect, however I guess there are tons of sites on wordpress with 1-2 pages (like company site), which are in fact static but written in php and may use outdated plugin or something.

I'm somehow thrilled of this idea because I want to provide something new, while it's pretty hard :)

In the end it's kind of possible to do all this stuff like
- Select areas which should be checked for changes
- Select areas which shouldn't
- As you said, text-basic machine learning, though it seems hard for me, but still
- Plus, what I also like is Google Vision API which at least can detect adult content. This should be pretty universal, if you know that you shouldn't have this on any condition, even if you have dynamic content changing

Hmm..
Italian here. I was in one of the first cohorts which were not forced to serve in the army.

Here, conscription was even considered a way to balance sex-related work opportunities, since it was a burden on men only, hence women who entered the workforce were a bit advantaged.

I agree that the experience can be good, but YMMV a lot: many of my friends were happy to serve and learned a lot, but many others were shocked and some never fully recovered. Such a life won't fit everybody.

Also, it takes quite a lot of time in your life even when you would like to do something else. I think that a "serve your country" 6/12 months period, to be done by everybody by the time you're 25 or so, that you can plan, could be useful.

I'd agree.
When looking at systems, the focus is always on the bottle-necks - what is the component that is throttling the whole system. Which is fine, until you replace the next one, and the next one - and eventually you end up with 'success' - or looking at it another way, "everything is the bottle-neck". At this point you're stuck as you've incrementally worked your way into a corner and can't make large changes.

If in parallel, you'd put a bit of effort (i.e. time/money) into development of components to try to make them optimal/flexible etc in their own right - you've a decent head-start on creating system v2

Not sure about the drugs, but during anesthesia, you will be completely unconscious, and inhibiting memory formation is a side-effect of that.

Without disagreeing with the lose-lose-lose premise how do you draw the blame to the auction mechanism?
The telecoms are in control of their bid values. The government policy makers are in control of minimum bids, related contingencies, and how the proceeds are spent. And yes, consumers are saddled with the confluence of the two.

With those controlling factors or problems Im not clear how a different mechanism, say fixed rates and allocations, is above the same failings?

WhatsApp isn't as common as you might think, although still the largest. It's either Messenger or WhatsApp, so still Facebook. [0]

My personal pet theory is that it depends on when the country got free text messages. For example in Sweden everyone already had unlimited texts before smartphones were ubiquitous, therefore WhatsApp never really had a purpose and Messenger became the supplementary app.

The title of your post is a bit misleading. You already have a bachelors and a masters in CS plus five years of experience. Doing another masters degree seems pointless. A second masters (in a field that's so closely related to your previous degree and your work) would almost look like a red flag on your CV.

Selenium can use Chromedriver's device emulation mode (eg "add_experimental_option("mobileEmulation", {"deviceName": "iPhone X"})") to enable touch events, pixel density, etc. It's not the same as testing on a real device but it's still useful to have as part of a test pipeline if you don't have the budget for every device you need to test on.

> As an advertiser in the new world, I'd have to go around and buy ads on all the new search front-ends.

And site operators presumably have to deal with many more ad platforms, which is likely to be a complication for them. Theres a certain logic to the way it works now, even if it is (arguably) anti-competitive and undesirable.
> It sounds like you want to punish them for being successful.

People are worried by their power.

Too much power is dangerous.

Google works at global scale, if even the US want to stop them from becoming even more powerful there must mean something.

Its a statement, not an argument, as I read it. Theyre ignoring other confounding factors, the agency of both telecoms and policy makers, and basing the lose-lose-lose on a limited subset of auction markets. Additionally theres no other suggested mechanism besides a vague wave at “revenue sharing” where you have the same problem of determining what the appropriate rate is.
Not fined for filming, fined for making money from the videos, because they were posted to their YouTube travel vlog, without some "filming in a national park for the purpose of making money from your youtube travel blog" permit. Still ridiculous. Seems like whoever made the law wasn't thinking clearly. They probably wanted to prevent people from bringing entire film crews into a national park and stopping traffic. But presumably I can bring an entire film crew in and stop traffic, as long as the videos aren't making any money. Amazing.
This happened to someone I know recently. She was a little younger than OP and repeatedly told her doctor how she had symptoms which could potentially be colon cancer but she was repeatedly told not to worry as she was too young and it was probably just haemorrhoids.

This went on for about a year I believe. Things got worse and when test were done she found out she had stage 4 cancer and probably only had a few months to live.

If you have symptoms which could be cancer regardless of your age insist you have the right tests done to rule it out. Most cancer is very preventable in its early stages.

> The cause of the internet seems to be a mix of the mobile frequency auctions that didn’t leave any money for a good network combined with low competition.

The version I read for Germany was that when the mobile broadband spectrum was originally auctioned off, the purchase price for the spectrum was too high. So the pensioners and other investors who bought in demanded a juicy return on investment despite overpaying, resulting in high prices and presumably less money for investments in the network.

For the fixed line broadband network in Germany, its quite substandard despite the country being generally good at infrastructure. The reason can be traced back to corruption, where a decision was made to rollout copper backbone instead of fiber optic, which was the original decision.

If you define your language using a recursive descent parser then it can’t be ambiguous.
For a forklift operated in a perfectly paved area and loading/unloading at a fraction of its max specs, it may work just fine.

For forklifts operated on even minimally uneven grounds or for heavy loads (or for other kind of machinery such as a wheel loader) allow me to doubt it can be working without some kind of (sophisticated) feedback (or additional safeties or other automations).

Forklifts and wheel loaders provide feedback to the body, any professional driver will tell you how he/she "feels" the machine through the seat, my guess is that you can achieve the same result only through a somehow more "immersive" kind of setup than a couple monitors and a steering wheel.

Then, there is the issue with other machinery, or obstacles or people around, in person you have effectively (on demand) 360° view, having multiple cams (front/sides/back) on a same screen doesn't seem to me like providing the same as that (but possibly people can be trained for that).

I have also some doubts on the precision/speed of operation, i.e. I suspect that - missing an overall perception - manoeuvring will be either less precise or slower.

Remote control (but "local" one, with the operator which is "on site" a few tens of yards away) is already in use since several years for waste (landfill) compactors, but essentially the machines have no obstacles and more or less only run up and down.
Then rich folks will put family into high income positions into their own company to transfer wealth.

There's no such thing as 'availability' on trains, you can buy a ticket from the ticket machine without booking in advance. You may not get a seat for the whole journey, but it's better IMO than not being able to board at all (like when flights sell out).

The problem with flying is if you want to do it very last minute it can cost an absolute fortune, whereas the train is capped by the walk on ticket prices. Plus with the train you don't need to book it if you don't want, and can literally buy a ticket minutes from departure with a known maximum price, so you don't need to worry about getting a refund or changing the booking if your plans change.

The article itself highlights that "Writing is thinking!" but then quicky sweeps that under the rug. The ergonomics of typing, code editors, desk, etc tools are important because they can amplify our ability to think. Of course they can also hinder us if they are not well fitted for the use and user.

> But how much attention do we pay to the ergonomics of thinking?

A lot actually. See how much effort people are willing to put to org-mode for example, and I'd say that is like 90% thinking ergonomics
It's worth noting that this is related to the release (yesterday) of their total re-write of the FSD software. It's only being released very slowly at the moment, but some examples are already trickling out... and it's pretty different.

Colonoscopies are much more pleasent that having a probe sent to your stomach. Going up from behind, you are sedated, for the stomach you have to stay awake to "swallow" the probe. ut hey, I guess it still beats surgery, chemo therapy and potential fatal cancer down the road.

And now imagine you're going to fix/add something to a big project with many devs and even more active contributors. Usually the bigger the project the higher the possibility that you may cross over with someone else doing essentially the same. In that case a prior announcement of your intent is a very logical thing to do and the issue tracker looks indeed the most suitable method of synchronization between contributors.

I didn't know that this was unique to Greece, I always thought that it would have happened in other similar parts of the world.

fun fact (that I NEVER expected to explain in english! ):
there is an expression in Greek which says "pussy can pull boats". Obviously there were prostitute services along the "diodos" as is commonly found in harbors and the "joke" behind this expression was that sailors preferred the hard work of pulling the boat on land and having a chance to meet women than sailing in the sea around peloponisos.

Hey everyone,

My name is Mickie, I'm 22 and I'm a graphic designer and an animator. With my team we created this new product called Dropi and we really need help to promote it as sadly, our marketing campaign is not really doing it's job. We are running short on funds and we need help to get the word out. Our product I believe is really cool, its a portable, touchless sanitiser dispenser for cars and more! You can mount it anywhere and enjoy clean hands everywhere. It has multiple mounting pieces so it goes on your windshield, air vent, bicycle, on a wall. It has refillable bottles and you can use any liquid you want in it! Here is a link https://igg.me/at/mydropi

Please help us reach our goal, its means the world to me.
