> If I pay for something and don't receive it then I'm leaving a bad review.

Exactly, leave a bad review. But leave it at the right place so that this review will have an impact.

Say you buy a new car at Honda and the salesperson scams you. You would not go on a car review website and review the Civic with "1 star, the salesperson was corrupt". You would call the dealership and tell them "this salesperson is crap" or you would call Honda headquarter and tell them "this dealership is ruining your name".

Why would this be different on Amazon? When a marketplace gives you a bad experience, you review the marketplace itself or the seller. Not the product, the company who makes the product has no control over the marketplace.

It's also important to keep in mind the distinction between _law_ and _policy_.

PyTorch Developer Day 2020 [stream]
I really am trying to understand this better. Can you give me an example with some concrete type names where it's massive waste and in the way?

When I think DI, I think:
//Startup.cs has all the config "goo" I don't want to repeat elsewhere.

services.AddDbContext<MyDbContext>(o=>o.UseSqlServer(config.GetConnectionString("foo"));

services.AddTransient<MyService>();

//MyController.cs (or Page, etc) and others get to use it with no ceremony:

public MyController(MyService foo){ this.foo = foo; }

vs no DI, where the config "goo" has to be repeated in every place I intend to use it (or in this case it could also be buried in MyService.cs):

public MyController(){this.foo = new MyService(new MyDbContext(ConfigurationManager.GetConnectionString("foo")));}

public Dispose(){this.foo.Dispose();}

If I knew MyService would never be swapped out and only ever used in one place, I may opt for the no-DI route. I'll often start there then move it to DI when I want testability, reuse of config, plugability, etc..
They also have a few high profile personalities that are pretty much into the "us vs them" towards C# developers and Microsoft, which turns off many enterprise developers to even bother with F#.

Exceptions and stack traces I agree with you can be a bit ridiculous, probably because I'm not used to Java at all.

> Also, I take issue with a language that touts itself as purely functional

Seems to be a common misconception that still hasn't died.

Clojure doesn't tout itself as a "purely functional" language, and as far as I know, never has. It tout itself as a "practical general purpose" language where you can be pure and impure, depending on what you do.

What Clojure does advocate for, is the approach that _most_ parts of _most_ programs should functional, but you should be able to go away from that paradigm when required/wanted.

> It places a lot of trust on the libraries that make up your program not to go into reflection and do some really annoying mutations

Just for the record, in reality and practical terms, I've never had this happen to me. Now I haven't done Clojure development for more than 2 years or something, but if it was a real problem, I'm guessing I would have hit this at least once before. But never have I had a Clojure library unexpectedly mutate things it wasn't supposed to.

So yeah, if you're looking for a purely functional language, go with a language that actually tries to be purely functional, because that's not what Clojure aims for, it aims for practicality.
> Then it's just a massive waste of time and gets in the way.

I find it very useful for several purposes that have nothing to do with mocking or testing.

> and have become blind to just how much extra code it generates

It doesn’t generate any extra code at all.

For the record, I think that built-in .NET DI is pretty bad. It would be better if they managed to avoid including that abstraction in the framework, even if I personally choose to use DI in most of my projects.
You're 100% right. People that complain about DI don't understand 2 simple facts:

1) that graph of object creation is NOT equal to graph of object usage

2) if you don't use DI, problems won't automagically go away - code will _still_ have dependencies, just they'll be hidden and tightly coupled

Nice goal, but its a "wicked problem". For example, I don't think this will do anything for "face privacy" if you travel out of the EU. If someone snaps and uploads your face to a database like findclone.ru, how will this help finding and deleting that information from an out of scope database? Counter-intuitively, I think we need much better tools that enable us to actively search the entire Internet for our face, and only then can we begin to fix how to reset that data back to null.

Hilarious that Yelp is criticizing Google in any way given their history of manipulating reviews and ratings, something that I find much more egregious than promoting internal products and services.

Aside from that, can someone explain to me the reason this should require any sort of legal action taken against Google? I understand people not liking this behavior, but that's a reason to stop using Google, not to form this antitrust response. Additionally, it always seems to me that actions like Google's are fine until a company becomes to big, at which point it is suddenly decided that it is unfair. Why do we even care about fairness now? Nothing about the resources one has at one's disposal ever seems fair in business. It all seems very arbitrary.

Eyeballing the graphs, looks like we need maybe an average of 25GW for the 16 hours of low solar output, for 400GWh. If batteries don't increase in price and the grandparent's prices are right ($200M/GWh, ignoring the prediction of it halving), that's $80Bn of storage. The proposed mininuclear is a bit over £4Bn[0]/GW, so £100Bn to get 25GW.

Seems like storage wins if you don't consider cloudy days (bad for solar), maintenance/operations cost (I assume much lower for batteries+solar than nuclear), or replacement times. (I'm guessing nuclear plants last longer than storage.)

I'm a little surprised how little wind is being used in California. It's worth noting that wind actually picks up slightly when solar drops, but not as severely, judging from the graphs.

[0] I hate that some of our units are £ and some $, but I'm going to pretend they're equal. That unfairly helps nuclear in the calculations.

Well this might be taking it a step too far. The first, obvious step would be simply to compare the actual hires (workers) with the available pool... almost nobody actually does that. People keep claiming that e.g. Google is sexist because they hire so few women, without regard to the fact that their worker pool has about the same distribution as their hiring pool (CS graduates). The UK passed a law requiring companies to disclose average salaries by sex etc. with no regard on the actual job / education level / level of employment.

We can't even begin to talk about solutions if all the media / researchers / activists keep pushing misleading statistics.
You can use .NET without ASP.NET. You also don't have to use all of ASP.NET either, it just comes with a full featureset and the default templates are configured for easy productivity. You can bind directly to sockets and write TCP responses using the fantastic memory and networking code, or use the robust Kestrel webserver to write low-level HTTP responses, or go up the stack and let it handle everything while you only deal with objects.

.NET supports as much ceremony as you want to deal with.
If you understand Spring then Asp.net Core will feel right at home. I think .Net tends to be more explicit in the configuration, with DI being no exception. For instance, in Spring you can just annotate a service with @Service and the DI framework will pick that up. In Asp.net Core, you actually have to say IThing is backed by Thing as a singleton when running the application and TestThing when running tests.

Edit: Also as others have noted, constructor injection is the way to do DI.
This is actually kinda fun! I have ~17.8GB, so I guess I'm on the lower end, at least as far as what I've seen in these comments!
I would guess you likely are more of an expert on computer technology than auto executives are. They probably saw demos of the 95% case, and have no real way to think about how much work that last 5% is, because no car companies other than Tesla treat computers/software as a core competency.
Exactly. Their revenue model going forward is to have the millions who have passed, and will pass, through the apple stores downloading all apps from the app store. Kaching!

If you want to get into the outdoors giantg2's idea is good, but also look into hiking groups. REI, for instance, organizes events sometimes free or low cost. You can meet people through that and start doing more hiking or camping outside the REI (or whatever org you start with) events.

And try to become the organizer of events. That was when my social life really turned around. I stopped waiting for invites, and started doing the inviting. In my prior city there was a First Friday event downtown with lots of live music and art shows. I'd invite people out. Or I'd organize a dinner and a movie night. I know a lot of these things aren't feasible right now, but as you start to build up a social network, consider doing this. It's a lot more pleasant (be prepared for some events to fail) to have made the plans (be it a pickup soccer game, a hike or camping trip, a night out on the town, a board game night in) than to be waiting for others to make them for you.
Geekbench is a series of extremely short and bursty benchmarks. Because of this, it doesn't really test the steady state speed a system is capable of, it's more testing the peak performance for short periods.

If by Music Discovery we mean finding music that's new to us as apposed to finding particular music we already have / own, I have two main sources:

* Freeform radio stations (preferably with live playlists): WMFO, WFMU are my favorites. Even people who are immersed in music can't help to hear something new every hour. For me, it's a constant wave of new-to-me music. Many free form radio stations are also layering tracks, interviews, noise, and other audio treats that make for unique experiences that may never (or should never, haha) happen again. Just under free form radio there are countless excellent LPFM and college stations around the country - Hollow Earth Radio, nearly every college radio station from Boston to Milford PA.

* I also use Bandcamp for getting deeper into a genre or trying out new ones. They write up articles that profile maybe a dozen artists that represent the boundaries of a style - whether you read them through or just listen, it's an amazing value. Easily on the level of what the New York Times does for classical music. Bandcamp is obviously growing like a weird and wonderful weed the last year - I would really like them to add a few more features for building random playlists within a few criteria.
