There is a self-reinforcing network of assumptions in that statement:

- Good architecture beats good code.

- There are things I can express in dynamic languages which are hard to express in static languages.

- If you're not expressing those things, typed static languages win.

- When you're contorting your architecture to fit into static languages, dynamic ones win.

- Of course, if you don't have experience with dynamic programming, you won't think to express certain things or structure code certain ways.

There are, of course, academic languages which do both well (including optional static type systems for Lisp), but I'm not aware of any in widespread industry use (with an ecoystem of libraries, documentation, etc.).
> Doesn't this violate calories in/calories out, or is that model only theoretical?

As often understood, the latter. Two factors (there are others): metabolism of fat, sugar, and protein are hormonally (such as insulin) and differentially dependent, as well as the storage of excess calories.

anyone who thinks single-family residential zoning is a plague benefits from anti-homeownership messages. own a condo or a unit in a triplex instead.
Yes, and the vignetting pattern isn't so much the problem. It's a color distortion problem (spatially varying chromaticity rather than brightness that is not just a function of the position within the field of view but also of the underlying material, unfortunately). So there isn't a nice way to correct each capture in a predictable way to ensure that overlapping pixels have the same colors consistently.
Part of it is putting on a mask and walking around (the city) where I live is itself a reminder of the situation we’re stuck in.
What about the fact that some stuff just takes time, is that not conceivable to you ?
> employees desire ~45% of days to be WFH.

What I found surprising about this survey is that most people wanted to split their week between the home and the office (according to Figure 3).

Only 24% wanted to work never or rarely at home; 27% wanted to work always at home; and 49% wanted to work a split week.

That's very different from what most people appear to comment.
Discuss a blocker whenever you have one.

But that would require me interrupting one or more people in the middle of whatever they are doing and possibly ruining their flow. Unless there is a very tight deadline, work on something else and bring up your blocker when you know the relevant people have time to listen.
WinRT/UAP/UWP (got to love marketing) is just COM as usual, with winmd instead of type libraries, IInspectable as base interface alongside IUnknown and extended ABI for generics, enums, arrays, structs.

Php6 also had a codebase. They tried something Similar as python 3 , well they stopped it and backported stuff like intl.
> There's also a distinct assertion on what must happen going forward, to the opinion of the speakers.

I just went back and re-read the article. And... no, I don't see that at all. The tenor of the thing is almost 100% empirical, describing change without advocating for it. (To be fair this is largely a "book review" kind of thing and I haven't read the book itself.)

Politics really has infused everything now. Is it really not possible for you to read a straightforward description of urban growth patterns without seeing a... I dunno, I guess agenda-driven plot against your way of life? You do realize you can't vote your way back to unrestricted suburban growth, right? There just isn't the space for it.
I think you might be reading about RemoteFX vGPU or something else in the RemoteFX family? If so that's a different thing than RemoteFX for RDP. The latter is literally just enabling a couple Group Policies in gpedit - otherwise it's exactly the same as running normal RDP.
Sure. You stand out because they can't spy on you. The point isn't to hide. The point is to not be spied upon. I see this as a win.
I had similar issues, and tried to solve them with a similar method. I fell asleep to an audiobook about the roman empire many nights. I finally realized that the reason I was having trouble falling to sleep, and trouble getting back to sleep after a noise, etc.

I turns out that the only time when I was not doing something that occupied my mind was when I was trying to sleep. Eg, I'm either working, consuming media such as Netflix or podcasts, talking with people, etc. I'd even listen to podcasts while taking walks. So when trying to sleep, I'd be stressing out over my problems, and trying to work through them.

For me the solution was to find a better time to remove distractions and think about my problems. Eg, taking walks without podcasts, driving without the radio on.
I can't tell if you're serious.

I actually hope that VR progresses to a point where one can work in it all day. The idea of having 8 virtual high resolution monitors set in any environment sounds awesome to me (amongst other advantages of VR). Unfortunately VR is still just way too low resolution for this to work today. As well as too uncomfortable to wear for 8 hours a day.

Much like Iran which used to be a country well on its way to greatness and slid back to the middle ages, Turkey seem to be headed squarely back to barbarism.

To think there were serious conversations back in the day to integrate Turkey into the EU ... that seems completely unthinkable these days with that kind of regression.

> Water contamination is one of the main day-to-day sources of health hazards that people face today, the others being air and food contamination.

I'll second this. I'm on the path at spending about $20 per month for fairly clean water and $20 a month for the air. I haven't solved the food contamination problem as I didn't have my sights on it but I'll include it now (I have been trying to cook at home more over the past two years, so maybe I've been taking baby steps here without realizing it).

As for the government, re:regulation, I'm trying to shy away from the politics because (at least for America) it's burdened down by identity politics instead of policy focused discussions.

As for me and my house, we're doing our part to bare the costs of personal responsibility.

Makes sense considering Marc is regularly online there now.
Great!

This is not a benefit of living in the suburbs. You can have a pleasant commercial transaction anywhere in the world - you pay for that.
I wonder if you (and OP) are conflating "anti-homeownership propaganda" (perhaps some exists) with anti-single family housing zoning "propaganda"? I follow land use topics pretty closely and I'm not sure I've seen any movement I would describe as "anti-homeownership" so I'm wondering if this is a perspective i'm just not familiar with.
It’s certainly interesting to see it being shared in the open. As someone who’s been doing product development for years, it seems a bit like “today we tied our shoelaces and brushed our teeth”. RF issues and DFM feedback from molders are part and parcel of this kind of product.

If Nvidia saw the opportunity to buy Arm they would make an offer and then try to get through antitrust regulators - and regulators very unlikely to give a green light in advance of a deal being announced.

The UK regulator has already set out very credible reasons why the deal might be objectionable in advance of doing their investigation - and those same reasons apply in the US and EU too - so every reason why

The first 5 paragraphs go to extreme pains to describe suburbs as failed racist projects that only uncle toms and other racists support.

The actual interview spends most of its time focusing on how malls aren’t that useful anymore, and now that they’re changing to be useful people are moving back out to the suburbs. But the core idea of the suburbs: large SFU homes on large plots of land is never questioned.
Disappointed that they weren't backdated.
I think you’re setting unreasonable expectations. Ad blocking has years of work behind it, and it still isn’t an exact science. Cookie banners are even harder, because they usually only come in the form of an element that blends in.
I agree with what you just said.

I’m just still not sure what your comments have to do with the one of mine that you replied to.

Does this have anything to do with the idea that there is a conspiracy behind the ratcheting up of surveillance?
Ok, thanks for the overview.

>Don't you think these changes to the structure of society and culture should be subject to democratic oversight?

There's still some oversight, he can't literally do quite anything he wishes. At any rate, from looking at the performance of those with democratic oversight (governments), I think having both is overall better than just one. Sometimes governments are much too slow and waste hundreds of times more to achieve less, while in practice being plagued by similar concerns (what if the wrong government official uses the money in a bad way?).

CO2 is how you carbonate a beverage. CO2 can dissolve in the liquid and makes it more fizzy and acidic-tasting.

Yes, the man had his flaws but he was dead right on what to expect of people. He was right about the US and the UK.
I've found 3 broad classes of code bases when migrating:

1. Trivial or easy. Probably started using best 2/3 compatibility practices easily on, or the nature of the code lends itself to 2to3.

2. Not able to switch without effort, but able to be slowly ported to 2/3 with six and the like.

3. Hopelessly intractable. Either too much bad practices in string handling, or tied to a legacy system. No way to port it without risking subtle bugs. Usually this is due to playing fast and loose with string types, even though we have known better since well before python 3.
> If Right now means racist, what is the label for someone with the political attributes of Right, but who is not racist?

There isn't one. Many liberals consider conservative beliefs to be inherently racist. Opposition to the ACA, for example, was decried as "racist": https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterubel/2013/11/21/is-opposit....

A lot of this worldview isn't unwarranted. Conservative opposition to the federal government is perceived very differently among say Black people, who relied on the federal government to protect their Civil Rights. A conservative might point out, "many homogenous countries have weak federal governments--it's a general principle that's valid irrespective of racism." And at the same time, the view of a Black Democrat on that point is totally valid too.
The carbon tank setup needs to be linked up where the water first comes into the property, so I wouldn't pay to have it installed unless you own the house. A setup like this isn't really feasible for an apartment. For an apartment or if you rent a house, you could call a local water filtration company and have a reverse osmosis filter tank installed under your sink. I think they also offer smaller carbon filters that sit under the sink. You could also just buy a small water cooler dispenser (for drinking water) and have 5 gallon tanks delivered as needed.
The point of that comment wasn't to say that implementing all language features is trivial, nor to say that designing a language from the ground up is easy.

But rather, than the "shape" of the language I currently implemented is irrelevant. Conditionals and loops are conditionals and loops everywhere. Adding new features isn't easy, but changing how the existing ones look like is. In other words: if you came to this project and left just because BASIC was in the name... well, that's the least interesting part of the whole thing.
"The anti-homeownership propaganda seems to be growing"

I see this a lot in UK articles too, berating people for wanting a boring detached house and a garden somewhere quiet, when they could live in a shoebox in the city. It seems to be a bit of anti-middle-classism, mixed with environmental concerns and a love of central planning. Some of the same thinking that lead to brutalism here, IMHO.
> "Built for cars, not people" is a bit of silly premise

Agreed. It's a meaningless lazy insult. Like saying, "hospitals are built for diseases, not people".
Why not all three? First Ubuntu to get a feel for the easy essentials. Then Debian for a more through feel of the whole shebang. Then Arch for the masochist in you.
I also have the same opinion, if you did not know anything about CSS, nobody would pick "top" to be the first one instead of just "left".

Open source (by most people's definition) means anyone can use the source... so who exactly would it be stolen by, if it is open for anyone to use?
I recently bought a tube of anti-oxident for high voltage electrical connections from my local big-box hardware store. It enhances conductivity and eliminates oxidation between different metals, as one would expect, to make electrical connections inside junction boxes safer. I got it home and nipped the top of the tube, squeezing a bit out to take a look. I noticed it was super crystal clear and it immediately reminded me of PCBs. I examined the writing on the tube and found a dire warning about how it can damage aquatic life and remain in the environment. I was surprised that we still sell this garbage,especially over the counter to untrained individuals. So now I have this tube of toxic waste sitting in my garage that I will not be using. I can't throw it away. Instead I have to contact the local "authorities" and find a way to dispose of this stuff in a way that I know it will not make its way into our water.
It is pretty common knowledge in the area, especially with all the brewers of beer and coffee who care quite a bit about water composition.

The city regularly publishes tests breaking it all down:

There doesn't seem to be a study. There seem to be no scientists or statically-trained people involved at any point. The article is the same everywhere I look (provided by AFP, French news agency) and only mentions "dog trainers working in their own time" who "rely on scant financial means".
Honestly that sounds like the author doing a really bad job at transcribing the interview, when you talk you repeat yourself if this was just a video maybe it would be ok, but the author says the same thing “8” times in the intro paragraphs and then appears to just transcribe exactly what was said.

I agree coupling your tests to your code will cause resistance to refactoring as the tests have to change w/ the code. Lack of coverage also causes the resistance due to breaking things. I think you have to find a balance.

We write almost entirely integration tests (and lots of them) and we rarely need to maintain tests since they're only tied to the UI. Most refactors happen w/ no test changes at all. Occasionally a UI change causes a big find/replace across lots of tests.

The tests are also probably less comprehensive than a suite of finer grained tests would be. Most tests tend to cover happy path and few edge cases.

When we started there were zero tests and refactoring was too risky so the early code decisions largely had to follow the architecture that was already present (which wasn't always what we wanted). As we filled out the tests for existing behavior we could refactor more.

I think the mostly-integration-testing approach led us to a pretty good balance by only coupling the test to the UI (with its own cons of course).

As a bonus, this one attempted to backdate the commits in a cyphered way (git dates are unix timestamps so the author needed to get clever to do anything before t=0 in 1970).
Doesn't really surprise me. For people with a local team, scheduling 1 or 2 "collaboration days" seems like a pretty good compromise--as well as a change of scenery. The downside of course is that you still probably have to be driving distance or a train trip from the office--although your radius can potentially be bigger compared to coming in every day.
If you have another illness, you shouldn't be on the streets either. Therefore, it doesn't reduce the usefulness of the test.
Again, you are putting thoughts and words in my mouth. When did I say masks were bad? I was an early advocate for masks in March, when Fauci was still lying to the public with a well-intentioned strategy of preventing a run on N95 masks.

Again, the puritanical "if people had complied" bullshit. Just like abstinence only sex education, you create a policy that is against human nature to adhere to, and then blame the citizens when the horrible, useless policy that will never work fails.

I wear a mask, I socially distance, etc. But you assumed I don't believe any of that because my opinion on one dimension. I'm not "parroting" anything. But because you are in a political tribe, I must be in the other one.
