That’s a fair take concerning the Capitol police (who are a separate force from DC police, just FYI). But even the calls to have the National Guard on standby, given new intel 1 or 2 days before the event that it was going to be bigger than expected, were denied before the event.

Then when things began to escalate, calls for National Guard assistance were denied by the Pentagon for at least a full hour. In a rapidly-evolving situation, especially when the Capitol building has been breached and it takes time to summon the troops since they weren’t on standby, that is an eternity.

CCP China is thriving because of liberal capitalism -- the flood of hard currency that otherwise was unobtainable made all the difference.

CCP China should build monuments to President Bush (#41) and President Clinton. Otherwise they would have went the way of the USSR.

OOP seems to force you to leave the entire codebase for that class open.

The member variables can be modified by the methods, which makes the variables a type of global variable, from the perspective of the method.

Then over time as your code size increases, you add more methods, and they keep modifying the member variables. Now, if you’re not careful, you can have multiple vectors modifying your member variables, any which way it wants.

Thus, when working with OOP, you can never seem to close out parts of the code that you had already completed and tested. Since the entire code base is opened for continual modifications.
Trump was all in on the anti-China bandwagon. The traditional Republicans were just tolerating Trump long enough to get their agenda passed - conservative judges and tax cuts. Republicans traditionally have been about free trade.

If all you have is a hammer you will eventually come across things that are not nails, but close enough you try to approximate them as nails. As the abstracts get more and more leaky you get the "biggest mistakes". I don't think really it matters what it is, if you take it too far it will fall apart.

I think clearly this applies to functional programming as well, and probably every other way of thinking.

The issue with OOP is that it is taught, and for many programmers they think it is the only way to think so they try to make every problem a nail.
I'm considering Taiwan too, any idea how Africans are treated, in Taipei?

I get the impression there are more black Africans than black Americans there. I recall some issues on mainland China with people violently scapegoating disease on them and anyone with dark skin. In most countries I've lived in nationality carried more weight than simply color.

Approximately zero MacBooks will be replaced by Linux laptops in the next couple years. There is no new story in the Linux desktop world to make a Linux Laptop more appealing. That people already selected to develop on MacOS and deploy to Linux tells you all you need to know there.

MacPorts and Homebrew exist. Both support M1 more or less and support is improving.

> Where's the harm? Their ability to sell it for $55 is capped at the total stock they have. Dev companies can print near unlimited amounts of copies for a low price.

If Sony prints and distributed TLOU2 for $5 and sells it at GameStop for $60 they make like $40 give or take. If someone plays that 30 hour masterpiece in two days they can sell it back to GameStop for like $20. GameStop can resell it for $55 and pocket every penny. GameStop has now made more money in launch week than the developer. GameStop is incentivized with every fiber of their existence to be a middleman than squeezes every dollar of profit. Game developers respond with digital, micro transactions, tack-on half-assed multiplayer, etc.

GameStop is a middle-man that seeks to prevent as many dollars as possible from going to the actual content creators.

Sony can print an infinite number of TLOU2 copies for almost nothing. They could let you download the game for less than a nickel. Obviously you can not make a game like TLOU2 if you only charge a nickel to play it.

I would have zero issues with GameStop if they limited sales of used games to games that are 1 year old. Hell I might even be fine with six months! But selling used discs less than a week from launch is despicable and I wish them nothing but pain and suffering.

GameStops entire business is predicated on being a middle man that adds zero value but extracts value for “used” sales of relatively new games. Fuck em.

I used to make games so I am extremely biased. But IMHO I am not wrong!
Lately I think that the React framework is the biggest mistake. It's worse than a pile of jQuery spaghetti.

I don't know the specifics but I feel like that is not the result of a free market. I believe the government gave Comcast money to build out networks they own?

User/owners are unlikely to overcharge themselves for services.

Windows/386 is Windows 2.x that required 386 processor.

To be more confusing - Windows 2.0 have 2 versions. First is regular that runs on 8086 and other was Windows/386 2.0.

But confusion continue with Windows 2.1. There was also two versions - Windows/286 2.1 (that also can run on 8086) and Windows/386 2.1.

Windows 3.0 was like One-Size-Fits-All because minimum was 8086. Except when you run it on protected mode. Windows 3.0 with Multimedia minimum was 286. And Windows for Workgroups 3.11 minimum was 386 because dropped standard mode.

Hey, sorry for getting back to you late.

I have recently been put on bupropion for depression and potentially ADHD. I have never used medication before (started 6 weeks ago), originally was put on Vyvanse (at the suggestion of another HNer ! haha) but I found the stimulant aspect too strong. In a way, the bupropion feels too weak but I am giving it time (supposedly they effect the same neurotransmitters except Vyvanse is a direct stimulant/acts of synthetic dopamine and buproprion merely inhibits the natural process that removes these).

What do you think naltrexone would do to help? I'm not sure I am following your reasoning. I actually do have some leftover naltrexone, never thought about combining it.

So naltrexone + buproprion = more naturally occuring dopamine/norepinephrine?

My concern with bupropion is that it stops the process of removing dopamine from the brain, but what if I am not producing enough to begin with?

Here are two links I found helpful:

https://www.goodtherapy.org/drugs/antidepressants.html -explains the mechanism of action for lots of antidepressants including bupropion. I believe the different uses for the drug basically comes down to dosage + marketing.

https://www.leonardsax.com/stimulants.htm - a psychologist is against the use of stimulants in kids due to potential for long term damage.

Side note, just by presenting myself well and speaking clearly (and looking like a professional), I felt my psychologist was willing to let me try most things. I was very much in the driver's seat as far as what drug to take and at what dose. Next time we meet I may see if they are open to prescribing modafinil, which I have used in the past and thought it worked great (as a stimulant, even complimentary to caffeine) with no side effects.

For a time I took both Vyvanse and Buproprion. I was able to study for 10 hours a day and passed a professional certification that week.
I think the problem is more that null exists but we like to simplify and pretend it doesn't most of the time. Null is just an extra state that can be useful, but sometimes it is so uncommon that we pretend that state is not there.

Back when C programming was more prevalent I don't think null was that big an issue because most programmers were aware of it and would check for it.

On second thought, the other big issue with null is that in many languages it just crashes the program which is a rather severe consequence you don't see for most mistakes.
Even then, from what I've heard the trend is turning sharply away from inheritance and towards composition of components and systems. Maybe you could argue that that's still OOP, but it's not what most people mean by the term these days
Thinking of react as a framework is a mistake, it's the view layer only.

From my perspective as someone outside the US, I don't have an emotional dog in this fight. That said, the Capitol raid was the one thing that made me stop joking around for a bit in the entire Trump era because I genuinely believed a coup was not only possible but probably underway given the parameters. In the end it turned out to just a bunch of disorganized wannabes but the context was still genuinely worrying especially with reports of the police standing down to let the mob in, even if we cast aside the shrill theatrics that followed in the media.

In comparison, the BLM unrest seemed like it would predictably peter out fairly quickly without much in the way of concrete changes, and that's exactly what happened. At no point did I expected some radical uncertainty in the future as a result.
OOP should be applied to a specific domain, namely GUI and video games.

In other cases it's a meh.

You seem to forget or ignore that one capitol rioter was shot in the neck/face and died. One officer allegedly died from a head strike from a fire extinguisher. Another committed suicide. I am not aware of any officer being beaten to death by the mob. One officer was caught in a door but survived.
Why is this? Sometimes, you do want to indicate that nothing came back.

Python has the concept of None, which seems to function this way. You must check if the return type is None, and react appropriately.

Absolutely not, that was just an early meme. The overall MCAS system responsible for the failure was so critically flawed that no software algorithm could have possibly made it work as intended.

People still focuses a lot on procedures, algorithms and paradigms and tend to forget the simplest most basic aspect of computer programming: it is a language before everything.

It needs structure, semantics and good abstractions, so that we can better encode programmer intention into procedures, and not only rely on algorithmic effects to tell whether a program works.

I believe the software community would be in way better shape if we approached computer science a little bit more like linguistics. We would understand each other better, we would integrate ideas easier and work more cooperatively. But until code stops being just a tool to implement some end and until code quality stops being regarded as cost we will keep writing spaghetti code. Regardless of language. Because when the team culture tolerates bad code, bad code will arise, be that in java, c, python, rust, Haskell. Whatever.
I have found the only way I can consistently lose weight is with keto. Otherwise, even when I thought I was restricting, I would end up binging at night on high calorie foods like nuts or cheese, sometimes even in my sleep!

Vyvanse also helped suppress my appetite but I lost about 10kg just on keto over a 2 month period.

Since you mentioned sugar, I had to mention keto. I do believe refined sugar is quite bad for the human body.

re: weight loss drugs, Vyvanse destroyed my appetite (among other side effects like severe sweating, easily winded, crashing on the come down), but that should be unsurprising since it is basically a proprietary (slow release) blend of amphetamine.
ECS (data-oriented programming?) is slowly taking over in the video game industry as a clearly superior paradigm. i did some UE4 programming recently, and as powerful as that engine is, the super-heavyweight object/inheritance system was the source of almost all unnecessary complexity i dealt with
This blog post seems to equate spaghetti code with OO, which is a false equivalency. I mean, yes, you can achieve spaghetti code with OO, but you can achieve some degree of spaghetti code in most paradigms.

It also seems to imply that OO has cost lives, specifically with the Boeing 737 Max MCAS system and Toyota's "unintended acceleration" problem. But I can't seem to find what language MCAS was written in (I'd wager C, Fortran, Ada, and possibly some assembly based on other Boeing systems I've been involved with). And Toyota was using C.

> These people are idiots. Bringing their cellphones, recording video of themselves committing felonies and then posting them online.

I don't think it's as simple as "these people were idiots because they recorded themselves committing a crime", to paraphrase this line of thinking. I'm pretty sure these people convinced themselves, and each other, that they were breaking the law to save the country. They thought they were recording a revolution in which they would be the new heroes.
Look man, I was an instructor at a research university. At no point did I think it was OK to fuck my students. At no point did I think it was OK if my TA fucked our students.
In fact, not only did I not think it was OK, it was pretty clearly relayed to me that it was not OK per the university's employee guidelines. I was told to not even let a student close the door during office hours "just in case."

The line that's crossed isn't about the title someone has but the power structure in place. Any teacher/student romantic or sexual relationship is verboten at every educational institution because of power dynamics. If what she's alleged to have done is not sexual misconduct then why the fuck was everyone so mad about Harvey Weinstein?

There are different extractors/services, and you can toggle them pretty easily. By default it screenshots everything, exports a PDF, saves like 4 different HTML copies and submits the link to the wayback machine. It also tries to extract important text, and stores that separately. You could easily configure it to only extract text, turn off some HTML extractors, or disable the PDF and screenshot captures if you want to prioritize disk space.
It was actually over a longer period than a day. I would like to think that some part of my brain is no longer associating alcohol with the buzz I used to get. It seems far fetched, but plausible? The other side of it is I definitely would feel the "buzz" of alcohol before I actually drank it, such as when I was walking home from the store carrying booze -- I would feel elated.

To be clear, the "buzz" I refer to is straight up pleasure, not intoxication. On naltrexone I felt the intoxication without the pleasure. It made me think, is this what it's like to drink alcohol when you are not an alcoholic?

Very easy to moderate in that circumstance.

Big Sur has me more worried about iOS-ification than ever before. The UI is a train wreck. It looks designed for touch and I have no idea why. I guess Sidecar?

They changed a ton about the UI in Big Sur, none of it for the better as far as I can tell. They took away even more choice, I can't have a "classic" desktop experience.

My biggest frustration is that they were willing to make such drastic changes to the desktop UI at all. I have to re-learn a ton of keyboard navigation now. And there doesn't seem to be a coherent design to the workflows.

Such a drastic change seems to be an admission that they thought the previous design language was wrong but they seem to have replaced it with... no vision at all?

I am hopeful for the next generation of M1 MacBook Pros and whatever the next MacOS is. Hopefully they get their design philosophy straight and stick with it.
I agree! I wonder the same thing.

So far I assume (not in order): A) the "American dream" and doing better economically than your parents ain't all it used to be, B) non-hispanic whites are loosing their majority status, C) mass media and the internet are more disrupting than the printing press was, D) greed, corruption, and other political inefficiencies, and E) the scale and pace of change are unprecedented.

Everyone agrees that lots of stuff is broke. Politicians don't seem to be helping. We (the people) don't agree on next steps. Some want to turn back the clock. Others want to try something new. Too many want to impose their view on others who disagree.

I assume we'll figure it out eventually. Some cultures/societies will have it easier than others.
