Google refusing to use AGPL software actually makes the license more appealing. The way AGPL wards off corporations like google is almost as though it has a 'do no evil' clause.
Not really: dynamic languages (Python, Ruby, PHP) also have special cli testing tools just like JS, and that's where JS got inspiration from. What makes JS different is that it started having a compilation phase along the way, so both approaches hat to be combined.
Heh, I didn't expect to get much attention for this. I thought it would be funny to push a merge commit between the 2 repo's latest commits. As a result, the git history is accessible from the dmca repo if you know the commit hashes. Since I didn't rebase, all the commit hashes were preserved with signatures. Another fun discovery is that deleting my fork of github/dmca didn't affect the PR like I thought it would, so it seems a mirror of youtube-dl's commits are stuck in the ether until GH deletes my PR and garbage collects the repo.
I think these packages contains pdf as well which makes the whole texlive installation over 1gb. Even without pdf, texlive is pretty big. I don't think there is a way around it. You can use a docker image to isolate pandoc from the system.

> FP's conceit is trading performance for correctness.

This isn't even remotely the case. The most popular functional languages are substantially faster than the most popular imperative languages.

Haskell or OCaml both smoke the top 3 imperative languages: Python, Java, JavaScript.

The "conceit" is trading the conceptual model most people learn in high school/trade programming classes for correctness, with little to no bearing on performance.

> Rust is, as far as I'm aware, the first language that allows you to deploy functional concepts as zero-cost abstractions.

This is definitely not the case. You can deploy zero-overhead functional concepts in C++ using template programming, constexprs, etc. Also, "zero-overhead" compared to what? Plenty of functional language have abstractions that can reasonably be described as zero-overhead, like newtypes in Haskell or functorial modules in OCaml. You can even translate the non-monomorphically-recursive subset of Haskell to pure hardware, which is pretty much the definition of "zero overhead".

This article reads more like a regurgitation of taglines than original thinking.
There are basically three broad sets of handhelds: OpenDingux devices, ARM Linux devices, and Android ones. The RG350P is an OpenDingux device.

There's a lot of OpenDingux devices- they have MIPS CPUs, so they don't run the same variety of software as the ARM-based ones. There's still a bunch of homebrew for OpenDingux, but it's not exactly organized, compared to Android and Linux devices. It involves hunting down poorly-documented executables, etc. Here's one list of software available:

https://github.com/retrogamehandheld/OpenDingux

There are two Pico-8 emulators that run on those things, tac08 and retro8. They both work on many games, but it's a bit hit-and-miss.

https://0xcafed00d.itch.io/tac08-rg350 /
https://github.com/Jakz/retro8

However, it is apparently possible to get the official Raspberry Pi version of pico-8 running on the Odroid Go Advance, which is an ARM CPU running Linux, just like the RPi.

Additionally to that, I dug up a version of TIC-80 ( https://tic80.com/ ), an open-source PICO-like environment, compiled for the OpenDingux which will run on the RG350:

I largely agree with you, and I share many of the same sentiments. Personal computing is supposed to be about user empowerment; the ability for users to not only communicate with other people and to get work done, but to also automate their tasks through programming. Early personal computing was about achieving this vision, and while it may not have fully attained this vision, companies in the 1980s and 1990s at least made an honest effort toward this goal. Unfortunately the companies that got rich off of personal computing from the 1980s to the 2000s no longer care about user empowerment. Unfortunately they've discovered that building platforms that lock users in and restrict their freedoms is quite lucrative. It is clear to me that the future of commercial computing will be locked-down platforms similar to the situation for smartphones.

The question I have is how can we reverse this trend? I've thought about this a few weeks ago and shared my thoughts at http://mmcthrow-musings.blogspot.com/2020/10/where-did-perso.... I am trying in my small way to reverse this trend by building a new FOSS desktop environment that focuses on user empowerment through programmable, component-based software that is inspired by Smalltalk, the Lisp machines of the 1980s, and Apple's OpenDoc. However, user empowerment is more than just having access to software that empowers the user; the hardware must be open enough to allow users to run a wide variety of software without special permission.

My dream is to start a company that is dedicated to preserving and improving general-purpose personal computing, as an alternative to commercial platforms. I'd like to pick up from where Apple left off in the 1990s, back when Apple had a lot of ideas about how to push the state of the art of personal computing through projects such as HyperCard, Dylan, Copland, and OpenDoc, yet sadly Apple at this time had a difficult time with project management, which led to the purchase of NeXT and Steve Jobs' retaking of the company. I also find the work of companies like System76 and Purism inspiring.
The only motivation for policy makers to do this, is if it would appease swing voters. Voters need to be at least as interested in the human rights angle as the domestic employment angle, if we are to see tarrifs being used specifically as leverage to improve those global human rights.

Otherwise, in spite of gains in redundant manufacturing capacity (great for local employment, and for national security), it's likely there would be a degradation in workers' rights domestically in order to keep costs low. In order to avoid these outcomes, workers' rights and human rights need to be something that most voters believe are important.
When I first heard of this I thought it was really stupid, as in it just adds a robot where a person is for the coolness factor. I didn't realize until now that this is an easy way to collect data to create the AIs for the robots of tomorrow.

I can't express enough my gratitude on a daily basis for what pandoc enables me to do. I made a simple Emacs script that I use to output files, and I use it constantly for Latex PDFs, HTML output, RevealJS slides, and odt/docx/etc. All with bibliographies fron Zotero in zillions of formats. As a professor and journalist, I need to use a wide range of output formats, but as a human being I like to work in clean, simple text files that will never be obsolete. Pandoc, way more than any tool, gives me the freedom to work in any writing environment I like and keep that distinct from whatever weird formatting preferences a journal, magazine, or publisher might have. I've written two books with Markdown and a huge variety of articles. I am so thankful for the care with which it has been built and maintained. Thank you.
You're mixing compiled versus interpreted languages here.
Hang on there. The manifesto isn't vague enough and doesn't lend itself to consultancy or self^H^H^H^Hteam-help books. Just the vague word "agile," please. Maybe capitalize it so that it seems more official.

Science does not work by consensus, simply because single evidence invalidates any consensus with arbitrary number of holders of other opinion, however anonymous.
And if it does, it starts to resemble middle ages inquisition committees more than science.
I'm responding to the article, which made the claim that the tradeoff when using a functional language is performance vs correctness. This is obviously not true in any meaningful capacity, when the vast majority of imperative language deployments are using languages slower than the vast majority of functional language deployments. The fact that the most popular imperative languages are usually JIT compiled (not interpreted, except python) instead of statically compiled is not relevant to the argument.
Half a FAANG salary to write open source sounds pretty good.
It's trying very hard to sound smart. But "...something with a non-empty include set that contains only x..." is the same as "...something that includes x and nothing else..."

There's this quote from a famous (in strictly relative terms) judge on the German Supreme Court: A good lawyer or judge will, according to him, "think like a philosopher and talk like a peasant!".

Of the three other possibilities, two are still fine. But trying too hard is a mortal sin.

> Dat combines the best of BitTorrent and Git. From BitTorrent, we took the scaling properties of peer-to-peer: downloads get faster rather than slower as more people join the network. From Git, we took mutability: the original publisher can add or modify data while peers can keep a full history for auditing and preservation. Dat is unique in the rapidly growing area of decentralized web, blockchain, and other cryptocurrency projects. It was the first in the field with a public interest focus.

Valve and Windows Mixed Reality (HP, HTC, others) are making great hardware too. Just at a slightly slower pace and higher price. But still great stuff. HP Reverb G2 will get way better sales than they probably forecasted with how much hate FB is getting for their new Quest 2 practices.
I would probably disagree on that I would attribute it to an vestigial evolutionary trait rather than a learned or subjective ideal. Cuddling a cat could evoke a man as nurturer, where standing with a dog (a real doggy dog) is evokes the hunter/protector.

Comparing a tiger to a cat would require the person having knowledge of tigers which wouldn't be universal if you go back a few centuries, so that would have to be a learned/cultural idea. Or in saying that you're just trolling a life-long Geelong Cats supporter who watched their team lose the Richmond Tigers in the AFL Grand Final last night?

I feel this blog post will be very helpful to people getting into rust for the first time. (or the second, etc time, if it turned them off the first time) I enjoy rust and I write as many of my personal projects in it as I can.

Here's a quote that really resonated with my early experience with the language:

"However many of these [common rust patterns] are by convention, rather than by language design. Their prevalence depends in part on the authors' stylistic choice. This meant I was more reliant on examples and documentation than I am perhaps accustomed to."

I find, even today, it's impossible to check documentation or read "the book", alone, and produce idiomatic rust code. Finally one breaks down and asks on Stack Overflow or one of chat or forum outlets and receives an answer which (almost always accidentally) comes across as, "Oh, didn't you know it?? We always express those ideas in this format here [example code]". I've come to accept and appreciate this way. But it can be baffling and off-putting to newbies who wonder how they should have known.
I’m sorry but the idea that the corporate behemoth in your life should be able to dictate the terms on which you might want to start a family is absurd, and we have (and should have stronger) laws to protect workers from this sort of crap. I’d never want to have a manager who held those kinds of employee-hostile views, and I’d have no place for them at my company. If you can’t offer stable employment without breaching your employment contract and/or the labour protection laws in the jurisdiction you’re operating in, maybe you shouldn’t be employing people.
There are several places on the spectrum between total shutdown and perpetual support. Google hasn't made it vary far to the right on this spectrum.

Well...money. They've got all the user data. Probably did a cost analysis and found that enough people would rather put up with FB than give up on VR games.

I agree with the question: is anything really be solved here? No, not really. A db table of jpegs taken at different points in the hand off is essentially fine too. Carfax seems to so fine without blockchain. And really the bottom line is the end recipient: what recourse is there if the car shows up with too many miles?
Yes, and this phenomenon of most transmission occurring in the home was recognized in Wuhan within weeks of the start of lockdown. R was still ~= 1 even with a very strict lockdown. The solution was aggressive contact tracing, testing, and a central quarantine. If you were infected, you were forcibly taken to a quarantine facility in a stadium or convention center, etc to recover, away from your family and/or roommates.

We could have easily done the same thing in the U.S., on a voluntary basis, using otherwise empty hotel rooms, and it was discussed in March/April, but essentially never implemented.

This strategy is being employed at the University of Illinois, where undergraduate students have to be tested three times per week, test results are available within about 8 hours, and the university has a goal of quarantining any positive cases in a segregated dorm within 30 minutes of a positive test result.

The University of Illinois has had the most successful college opening in terms of controlling COVID despite it being known as somewhat of a party school.

This isn't false; it's a theorem. Using the axiom of choice, all vectors of any space can be represented as finite linear combinations. In the case of infinite-dimensional vector spaces, this means you would need at most n vectors from the infinite basis B, and n scalars from the underlying field F.

I'm interested in what you're trying to demonstrate with your example though, or if we misunderstand each other, because this theorem is very well established.

> Rather than trying to figure out which of dozens of files has what you're looking for, you can just search one or two large ones.

Why is this a good thing? The same amount of code and same number of results need to be scanned either way. With many files, you at least have the file name to give you some small amount of context without needing to read the code.
I wasn't quite as invested as you but pretty similar (KS backer, DK1 + DK2, banned from FB for refusing to send a copy of my drivers license, and now despise them with every inch of my soul)... but if anything this has motivated me to support anything VR that's unrelated to FB.

VR is incredible, I'm all-in on this being the right time for it (after many failed attempts in the last few decades), and I think it could really blow up now, but we really need to help alternate brands come up before FB fully owns VR in the way Google owns the web.
OK, to be clearer: almost all the libraries published to NPM that would use the functions in QuickJS’s std module instead use Node modules and there is no compatibility layer.

So yes, there are plenty of pure JS modules. But if you want to read a file from a disk you’re going to end up with a library that assumes you’re using Node.
Agree. There are consequences if the notary lies. If bad data is posted to the blockchain ... Well ... So what? That's why I asked the original poster of scenario what the end receiver's recourse is if he gets a car with too many miles? Arguing about blockchain and what it did or was supposed to do will be immaterial by then.
Cholera is mostly a solved problem, but the point stands in relation to other diseases. There's much more interest from Pharma in hair-loss, acne, Viagra competitors, and in $1,000,000-per-treatment cancer drugs than in mundane but vital tasks like finding better treatments for mental illness, finding better treatments for migraine headaches, or finding new antibiotics before our entire current spectrum of antibiotics stops being effective.
If it is a single stock it may still affect the price. That’s why big sell-offs are usually done over a long period of time, like weeks.

To be fair, two of the major ideologies (capital M Marxism..., yes things called communism have existed, but very few people outside those systems has claimed they were even close; anarchism, in the historical sense that shares its historical roots with Marxism) have not had their run.

(Full disclosure I’m a former anarchist, not a capital M Marxist but sympathetic and hope that his spirit of philosophical analysis might find a new home in the modern left, which has gotten very good at footing but hasn’t gotten very good at developing an analytical framework.)

It's actually even worse than that. Functional programming is on pretty much all accounts FASTER than imperative programming by design. Imperative programming heavily relies on state mutation and branching. FP relies on immutability, purity and streaming. Essentially all those are properties that make code faster/parallelizable. Yes, you can usually write SOME imperative form of an algorithm that is faster than its FP counterpart, but generally it will be much less readable and maintainable. The beauty about FP is that you can get readable, maintainable code that is often on par or faster than "good looking" imperative code and also parallelizable. Writing imperative, parallel code is often an absolute nightmare, that any entry level programmer and even experienced programmers will get wrong.
