A context free grammar has a formal and rigorous definition. One way to see that Dlang does not have a strictly context free grammar for its AST is the following snippet of code:

A[B] C;

That is parsed differently depending on whether B is a constant integer expression in which case it parses to the declaration of an array of type A with a size of B, or whether B is a typename in which case it parses into an hash map with keys of type B and values of type A.

This disambiguation can not be specified by the context free grammar and instead must be delayed until the semantic analysis (which is usually defined by a context sensitive grammar).

Pretty much all statically typed languages work this way with various kinds of ambiguities. In practice, it's not a particularly big deal. But that's kind of my point, there's no need to work exceedingly hard to force a language construct to be context free, especially if making it context free results in a lack of readability or awkward syntax.

It's perfectly fine to specify a superset of the language that is context free, parse an AST for the superset of that language and then resolve AST ambiguities in later phases, such as the semantic analysis phase or the type checking phase. Almost any tool written to assist an IDE with autocompletion or other functionality will have no problem working with the language superset.
It is pretty amazing that Trump won the last election and still managed to be a sore loser for his entire presidency.
At my current job, you would have to pry Slack from my cold, dead hands. I would rather deal with conference calls on personal cell phones than go back to e.g. Chime that Amazon used. For me, it's not just about communication (although there are 1,000 ways that Slack reduces friction), it's also about the searchable archives. It's the equivalent of Stack Overflow for our internal issues.
What does this do that the "sitting at my desk" analogy doesn't?
Andrew kind of took me under his wing during the early days of Ambrosia and taught me a lot about game coding, while I was still in high school.

He eventually bought the rights to a game that I had put together and basically transformed it; it became “Chiral”, which I believe was the second game released by Ambrosia.

For $1500 he got the source code, data, IP rights, and a time-limited non-compete. It seemed like an almost unimaginably large amount of money to me back then (I was in my last year of high school), but I’m sure it was the smallest of his costs in polishing up the game to his standards! In retrospect, I’d be startled if he didn’t decide the code was a complete write-off and needed to be rewritten from scratch; I’d been an absolute neophyte at the time! But he was kind enough not to tell me about it, if so!

Andrew and I still have never met face to face; our conversations were entirely online. And we lost touch shortly after I went off to university. I’m a little embarrassed to have missed this talk, even though was actually in the building at the time. I was exhibiting my own game over in the expo hall, and I had completely lost track of time. Exhibiting your own game is definitely a bit overwhelming; a lot more than exhibiting somebody else’s one!

Andrew was definitely the one who got me seriously into game development and made me think about it as a viable career. In a lot of ways, I’m in the industry today because of him.

Oh wow. I just wanted to say thanks to you and any other people here from Ambrosia, EV was easily the best game of my childhood. Saving up for a Kestrel took me... a lot of cargo runs. But I loved every minute.

For me, this semester, I finished a group project where we coordinated over slack/google hangouts. After that project, I didn't have anything left to finish the semester. I felt like I was done because the reinforcement loops I get from work (virtual back-clapping) were done and I had a hard time separating that from the "here's the next task. Also no one is talking to you about what needs to be done."

> What Taibbi is asking for is that the guy who tells you that drinking rat poison is good for you

No. That is not what Taibbi is saying. He articulated his point extremely well, he doesn't need your help with convoluted interpretations. You twisted his words sideways and upside down, then built irrelevant conclusions on top of your own nonsense, and diverted the discussion from the PROBLEM the original article was written about to your own misguided statement which bears no resemblance to Matt's argument.

> HN is no longer on board critical thinking

Indeed, otherwise your comment wouldn't be on top.
I doubt it. It looks the people in IT who leave California for Texas are fiscally conservative but socially liberal, who traditionally vote democrats anyway.

Personally I don't see what's wrong with liberalism. What is wrong in the US is that the left prefer narratives over facts and data, and think that censorship would never one day hurt themselves.
I think everyone agrees on priorities but nuance is lacking from comments and everyone just assumes the worst interpretation.

this virus replicates and transmits on average BEFORE symptoms occur. it doesnt matter how lethal or not such a virus is, it will not burn itself out simply because mortality and morbidity occur after incubation and transmission. in such a case the lethality of the virus does not result in a negative selection, as there is no selective pressure on transmissibilty when it occurs before you even feel sick. host immunity is what will make this virus burn out.
If a state can't have an interest that the constitution is followed, what point is there in even having a union? What did the states actually agree on?

Edit: The answer to this is that the supreme court is there to judge in material matters of difference that independent states would otherwise go to war over. The federal election doesn't fall under this. Election is a sovereign matter especially for the states before each other.
And so have we proposed laws to regulate newspapers on what they should be and what they shouldn't be allowed to decline for publishing?

I've used Emacs for over 20 years and I have been meaning to switch to vi keybindings for a while (but haven't yet :). I just find myself executing long commands with only 4 of my fingers engaged, because one of them is holding a modifier key, and it's somewhat uncomfortable. Not injury-causing uncomfortable, but enough to make me think "hey, I think the other team got this right." I would not mind switching between command and insert modes; I can keep the state in my head instead of in my finger.

The barrier to switching, for me, is that the vi-like modes are set up by default to have vi-like keybindings, and I just don't care to go in and change them all to Emacs-alike keys, and I worry how flexible other software with "vi mode" will be about that. I am past the point where I'm going to use hjkl to move the cursor around, I use npfb. I can easily change the details in Emacs/Viper, but then how am I going to use anything else, like the shell? That is my main worry.
Yes, propietary devices are very secure. Very easy to lock myself out permanently.

Yesterday I tried to help someone to login to Samsung Android tablet. There is Android Q feature that requires previous Gmail account and password, even after factory reset. Tried 3 gmail accounts of tablet owner. Login works on laptop, but not on tablet. Reply from Samsung was, there are no workarounds. So it's not possible to login to tablet, and not possible to install any alternative operating system. So that tablet is expensive paperweight.
We are still projecting stuff onto a 2D screen and wishing to interact with it. So fundamentally it's not a huge difference.

I guess we have gyros, and cool audio processing and I think there have been decent UIs that use them.

Maybe AR will change things on this front?
I don't know, I disabled Chrome long ago to make sure it doesn't do shady stuff in background.
As i mentioned in another thread, a uni course that has students work on an existing codebase instead of writing something from scratch might be even better - though harder to grade.

Imagine if one could do a major feature contribution to clangd/pyls/rust-analyzer as part of their advanced compilers course. The student gets a better understanding of (open-source) software development practices, gains a deeper proficiency in the language (not just the APIs), the project brings new contributors and users (including the student herself) benefit from the new feature.

Double bubble!
There is a team of lawyers and politicians still trying to exploit every loophole and legal hack in the books, including the joint session to formally declare the winner:

There remains one last-ditch chance for electoral votes to be tossed. On January 6, the Senate and the House will convene to count the electoral votes and officially declare the winner of the election. The joint session of Congress is required by law to ratify presidential results, but also allows "members to object to the returns from any individual state as they are announced," according to the Congressional Research Service (CRS).

Procedure calls for Vice President Pence to open each state's "certificate of ascertainment" — documents prepared by the state after it has completed its vote count and ascertained the official results. He will then present the certificate to four "tellers," who announce result tallies. Once a candidate reaches 270 electoral college votes, Pence will declare the winner.

Lawmakers may object to the results — even if it's not their home state — leaving the door open for representatives who support Mr. Trump's unproven claims of widespread election fraud to interrupt the typically ceremonial process.

According to a Washington Post survey, only 25 congressional Republicans have acknowledged President-elect Biden's victory. And 222 Republicans — in the House and Senate — will not say who won the election. Some may lodge their objections during the January 6 session. Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks has already said he would challenge Georgia and Pennsylvania's results, claiming flawed election systems, Politico first reported.

The Palmer Report is probably an even better example of just how cynical and partisan this push by social media sites to purge claims of election fraud is than the article makes clear. Back when their anti-Trump articles started to spread across social media, I did some quick searching (y'know, just basic old-school internet literacy stuff when seeing sensational articles from a publication you haven't heard of spreading virally online) and concluded their main claim to fame seemed to be having their own Snopes tag due to the bullshit they'd published. No detectable presence on respected or independent sites beyond that, not even a Wikipedia entry. All the normal hallmarks of your classic fake news site, in the pre-2016 sense of the term.

In no time at all after they started saying what Trump's opponents wanted to hear, though, Twitter had given them a verified account, their Wikipedia entry was glowing and featured prominently when searching for them, and they'd been granted a veneer of respectability by big tech companies and were being spread by the personal but work-associated social media accounts of those who worked for big tech. There was no fearmongering about social media sites spreading disnformation that undermined democracy, even though the articles were strikingly like what Trump and his supporters are pushing now, down to the specific arguments even, and every bit as dubious.
He's right when he says that your desk location (your main office, not necessarily HQ) according to HR is what matters. That's where your withholdings go. You could maybe fight with the State of California for the refund next year, but in the meantime you'll pay taxes in the state if your paycheck says so. If your desk is in NYC, but live in CT or NJ, you'll pay taxes in two states, even if you haven't set foot in your office for months. You can try changing your residency to e.g. Texas as you say, getting assigned by HR to a new office or marked as remote, but you can bet that the original state will try everything in their book to keep some of your money.

Some states are more aggressive than others. Although you're right in general, there is actually a history of CA going aggressively after the money of residents of other states, like the screenwriter in AZ that did a lot of work for a California customer: https://ota.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/54/2019/08/18032...

I had it in March at age 33 and I’ve got this barb? Maybe you’d call it in my right lung. X-Rays showed up fine but still noticed it for months where it was a constant pain every breath, even though oxygen levels are fine. It’s finally only a sometime thing now instead of every waking moment.

My wife didn’t get off so “easy”, she coughed for about five months straight until one day she just finally stopped coughing.
As interesting as the tax implications for YouTubers, I imagine.
Was just thinking that the article carefully talks about 'loneliness' and skirts around 'happiness'. It points to another article[1] that claims to show that being alone doesn't necessarily mean being lonely--but that article fails to make a case for that:

- First of all, in absolute numbers it shows that a lot of older people in developed countries are lonely. It may not be a majority of people but that's kinda like saying 'don't worry, covid has a mortality rate of just 1%'.

- Then the article tries to show that people in these countries self-report that they have social support--that they have someone who can help them if they get in trouble--but it fails to show the breakdown of those who have social support by age, which is kind of the critical question here: do older people have social support?

- Then, the article tries to show that there's not much correlation between being alone and being lonely--but it again fails to show whether this is true for older people specifically, or just for the aggregate sample.

- Then it talks about 'aggregate' statistics again, instead of focusing on older people.

There seems to be quite a lot of bending over backwards trying to convince us that older people are not lonely, but no cogent argument.

Have I been duped into thinking marijuana has been illegal this whole time? Assisted suicide unavailable? Parental leave / sick leave laws non existent? Access to abortion restricted in some states to sufficiently quality it as inaccessible to those who need it?

Did I imagine growing up without dental care or healthcare because my immigrant small business owner parents could not access affordable healthcare? I personally know small business owners that are open about supporting politicians because they don't want the minimum salary for exempt workers to be raised, so that they can continue to exploit immigrant "managers" to run their businesses and pay them $32k per year to work 60+ hours a week.

These are real matters that have affected me and many others in the country. To say politics isn’t significant is ridiculous.
I don't think the cli is any less of a metaphor than the desktop is. Its just a different metaphor.

> They also said Texas waited so long to sue -- 34 days after the election -- that its claims became legally moot.

Regarding this point, if there were lots of voter fraud as had been alleged, would it not take a considerable amount of time to gather the evidence necessary and write a complete suit?

Consider a jubilee date occurring in N years. The result would be that nobody is willing to lend with a maturity of more than N years. This is rather problematic as it means that primary debt markets can't function when N approaches zero. It would make it impossible for me to get a mortgage if N=5 for example, locking me unfairly out of the housing market for half a decade, artificially depressing house prices until N=0 when suddenly five years of pent up demand causes a demand spike/bubble.

I also don't agree that a jubilee date won't increase rates. The default risk is simply much higher now and therefore the rates must go up to compensate for the added risk. In the current system, debt isn't forgiven when repayments are late, which allows for lower rates since the default risk is lower. If late repayments automatically implies default due to the jubilee date, then rates must be higher.
Someone on an earlier Reddit forum pointed out there's a paratrooper division known as the Paradice at one time (https://old.506infantry.org/hiswwiiarticle02.html). Others pointed out the term has been adopted by any other number of groups, and one person suggested a cipher supposedly with the killer's last name is Paradice backwards. My guess is the misspelling is meaningful too but it's hard to say how.
I was just covering one side of the equation. I don't like censorship, and as they say: you should legislate as if your opponent is the one that will apply the law. You can apply censorship to take care of one "good" reason, but eventually censorship will be applied for a "bad" reason.

What I wanted to focus on is that it is not true that free speech is the solution to all democratic problems, it's not an absolute good. We limit speech already, you can't advocate for the killing of other people, races, etc...

Also, about free speech, if you can say what you want but there are very large entities controlling who gets to hear what you say, then in a way censorship might be already happening. In this case non-arousing messages are being suppressed because they don't make money, so we all feel like everybody is either pro-this or against-this, and they're all really mad and or dangerous.

This is not an easy problem to solve.
Yes they are two quite different companies. I just found it hilariously ironic.
Coming from a family where I am the first generation who could afford going to college, I disagree.

OP was talking about Vietnam, my experience is in rural Italy and matches the idea of people helping each other, not of the exploitation of the women.

And not in an idealised way either, I could make countless examples that I experienced first hand, growing up with 18 cousins and spending together every easter, Christmas and summer holiday for large part of our lives. Especially summer holidays that last three months in Italy.

They are my sisters and brothers, even though I only have one "real" sister, my 8 aunts are my moms, my 8 uncles are my dads, when I was a kid I probably spent more time with them than with my parents that were working 12 hour shifts in hospital (they did the exact same job and shared 50/50 parenting) and sent me and my sister to our grandparents when schools were closed, so we didn't have to be alone at home or with a baby sitter.

I feel lucky to have a family where no one is left behind or alone.

I never felt we were dependent, on the contrary, they let me develop my independence and I have been a kid who spent long moments alone and still do as an adult.

What you call pastoral I call it sense of community.

Yes, women had it bad in the past, but what you're seeing is not reduced dependence, it's solitude.

Maybe the fact that I grew up in a socialist family makes my perspective different, but I can't imagine old people wanting to be alone, away from their family and loved ones, unless they are forced to.

And the worst thing is that even if you were right and old people are simply fulfilling their desire of independence, women have it worse all the same: stats say that in USA 75% of the elderly living alone are women and to make things even worse widowers have more chances of remarriage than widows.

Considering that old people living alone have more chances of falling into poverty, that poverty increases the chances of being alone even more, that eating it's a social activity for many people, so living alone increases the risk of malnutrition and that in the presence of health issues loneliness increases the chances of the symptoms getting worse, I wouldn't consider more time alone a blessing, not for men nor for women.
