Racism is so inherent in US legislation that it was enshrined by our founding fathers in Article 1, Section 2 of the constitution where African American slaves were reduced to 3/5th citizenship rights[1].

No need for conspiracy theories when the facts are so readily available.

If you really think that America’s marijuana prohibition had nothing to do with racism, then digest Harry Anslinger’s Wikipedia page[2].

Anslinger was an opportunist lawman who made a name for himself during Prohibition and latched onto America’s racist fears of blacks and latinos to cement his legacy and influence. Ironically his early stance was that prohibiting marijuana was absurd, until alcohol was legalized and he neeeded a new way to grasp onto relevancy.

That's a common reality for many. It's the reason I always buy the expensive flagship phone for my wife and myself. Lagging and disappearing apps (and hanging and/or rebooting during phone calls) is a constant occurrence on underpowered smartphones. Had such a phone once, and it did a "death through thousand papercuts" number on my psyche. Never again.
Man, this is an example of how difficult it is to know what is BS or not if you're not an expert on the subject. On one hand, this article was published in Nature, which I thought was trustworthy. On the other, there's this comment on a social media platform that links to a blog that also seems legit. No wonder misinformation spreads so fast. Even after reading both, I don't know what to make of it. The reaction and comments here just confuse me more.
Hopefully I can avoid stacks tainted by this kind of unnecessary “flexibility” until the end of my programming career. Typescript was considered the “fix all problems with JavaScript” language but I poked in its type system within the first 10 minutes of using it.

Do you also see this as a possible driver for general inflation? Or is this JIT production mostly restricted to the automotive sector?

On a tangent: Is there any good place to learn about the current state of supply chains? I searched youtube occasionally, looking for talks / interviews with people who have in depth insight in what is happening right now (/during the last year) but I could barely find anything. Shouldn‘t this be one of the hottest topics right now?!
> adding parameters is a breaking change in javascript

TBF adding parameters is a breaking change in most languages unless they have defaults, or even then.

In javascript it's a corrupting change, it may silently break all callers.

Does anyone feel like filtering this table (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stars_in_Orion) with a script to find the stars that are within the quadrilateral of Orion to get an idea of how many stars one might be able to count in ideal conditions?
It's actually quite the opposite, in this case JS is allowing a function with one argument to be called with two extra argument without complaining. In my view it's ways worse.

Optionals arguments (ideally named and with default values) are quite easily dealt with and the developer is aware he'll break compatibility if he touch them. No error on extra argument is another flavor of madness.
Not really sure what "stringly typed" means. This is just the effect of trying this trick in python.
So does javascript.

But a lot of these global internet companies 1) have a potential market of up to billions of users 2) are quasi-utility companies in that they provide more or less essential services (communication, search, payments, investing). They are almost to big too fail and the Gamestop incident will probably be a nothingburger in the greater scheme of things.

I'm a bit surprised by the general tone in the comments here, tbh.

This was, originally, not a 'pump and dump' that everyone with two working brain cells should immediately have recognized as one. Buying into a pump'n'dump when it's already rising is not a smart decision -- but buying into a short squeeze of potentially HF shattering proportions, even after the underlying stock has already gone up dramatically in value, is a quite different scenario, and rationally justifiable imho.

The point where it all went wrong was probably the buying restrictions for retail customers that killed the momentum completely. Without that element, ridiculously high meme prices like $1k per share could have been realistically achievable, driven by FOMO and further fueled by Melvin-copy-cat hedge funds that might actually have been margin called at those ridiculous prices.

So, I'm a bit disheartened by the view here that 'of course it was always going to go wrong, what did they expect'.
It definitely was naive to believe everything would go 'smoothly' when billions are on the line, and markets are put under stress they might have never seen before. But the whole thing wasn't destined to fail like it did.

Looking back, I believe the only real mistake many made was not realizing the variant of the prisoner's dilemma that people were in had rapidly shifted on Thursday to favor defecting, even if just to let the dust settle and reevaluate their position. But when you're caught up in an echo chamber that still promotes 'holding' above all else, it becomes difficult to realize that, since holding would indeed have been the right decision if everybody else had done the same. In retrospect it's of course ridiculous to expect a huge group of ultimately self-interested people to coordinate on that level. Still, people held because they got caught up in the herd mentality. After that point though, it indeed turned into a serious of small pump-and-dumps that one should have better left alone.

All in all, I think people shouldn't beat themselves up too badly about what happened, because there _was_ no good template for any of this that one should have consulted.

It was at least a very interesting lesson in stock market mechanics and the kind of manipulation that people with tons of money will engage in when cornered. The decisions leading to retail being prevented from buying may or may not have been indirectly influenced by a motivation to stop the squeeze, but the 'WallstreetBets has moved on to Silver' was definitely a widespread disinformation campaign -- kinda cool to see one of those in action for once.
Sure if you want to, it would at least be more correct than implying there is a monopoly, which is categorically false.

Though i'm not sure how many cutting edge semi conductor fab players we should actually expect, the investment required is significant.
I don't understand this argument. Let's say you remove a typed param and replace it with a new one of the same type, how will your typed language protect you then? Is that a case that should be handled in a backwards compatible way? Changing a function signature is a breaking change. In some cases like function arity or different types your compiler could catch it and throw errors (and break your program, hence breaking change).

A better language might have a special syntax or specific types for mapping functions but that's not the argument you were making.
It’s interesting. At this kind of distance, I wonder how topologies of cables and satellite constellations compare.

Cables run relatively straight under the sea. If they are optic fibre, they run at a lower speed than light in vacuum.

Satellites are in space, so communicate pretty much at speed of light, but probably not in a straight line, depends where the satellites are.

HFTs are indeed great at gaming such things, will be interesting to see what happens.
Cannabis was named "marijuana" by American newspapers for the express purpose of associating it with Mexican immigrants. The criminalisation of cannabis was started by racism, and has been solely for the purpose of racism ever since. How else can you explain demonising a mostly harmless plant without any evidence?
You could derive a decent interview question out of that. Not the specific output of the bad call to parseInt, but simply "What arguments can you pass into parseInt?", and then simply ask about why it would be bad to pass as a callback to map. I'd probably have tripped up on the latter having not read this post, because I'd have never thought to not explicitly pass the radix to parseInt and rarely use anything but anonymous functions in a map call.

Though on second thought, maybe not a great question, hard to say. I know I've tripped up on the std sort function having not had used it in a while.
That is true, but I don't think it has much to do with the tax. Credit card transaction fees have a big impact as well...it's why you often see a lower cash price for fuel.
Why not just smoke something else?
Agreed 100%. As a library author I'd also recommend if you create functions to make way for this specific case. It's just very useful to be able to `.map()` so allowing people to do it is a net gain, I've done so in my library `files` (https://documentation.page/github/franciscop/files):

> Ignores the second parameter if it's not an object so you can work with arrays better like .map(read)

It's also pretty simple to implement:

// Assuming we are taking an options object {}
export const myFunc(arg1, arg2 = {}) => {
if (typeof arg2 === 'number') arg2 = {};

// ... rest of the code as usual
};

So, library authors, do a favour to users and in those functions that could be used as a callback, add this option.

Some other tips/niceties I've learned over the years:

- For highly async libraries, allow to accept an unresolved promise. It's pretty safe and easy to do on the library-side, and will probably remove a bug or two on your users' side.

- Export default and named so the users don't need to worry about whether to `import * as files from` or `import files from` (assuming the library is small and there's no concern about tree-shaking).

- I also use a higher-order promise abstraction I created, Swear (https://documentation.page/github/franciscop/swear), but that's totally optional and you can treat any of my async libraries as normal Promises.
Good article, but like - is this really a problem or even a pattern people use?

The same reaction as always. Yes, fine, all the radar logs and pilot testimony and cameras on planes and astronuaght accounts and UK government files are zero evidence. I don't understand how anyone who isn't wilfully ignorant can dismiss all of this out of hand.
I agree with this recommendation. When we are dealing with a company as large as and has as diverse a portfolio as Google, we must be heedful that as soon as they find one of their products troublesome in one way or another, they will shut it down. With a company like Spotify, they will fight for its survival as if their life depends on it.

With Google, it seems to be, "This was a fun experiment. We'll try something else now."

For music, I think the best option is to find indie labels who let you download and keep stuff DRM-free. Spotify is probably the best option for mainstream music.
As much as I admire Musk's ambitions with SpaceX (and to a lesser degree Tesla) but Neuralink scares me. It feels that driven by fear of AGI, he threw any caution to the wind and did not consider effects of neural implants of any order, much less higher ones.

I see lots of hate for oil companies, but not a lot for those who choose to fly a lot or drive gigantic cars. The F150 is America's best selling vehicle, passenger trains are basically unusable in North America, suburbia makes public transport impossible.

We live in a consumerist society where virtually every product we own or use contains plastic or has been shipped from the other side of the world, but we lay blame on those who extract the oil.

How convenient.

I personally prefer extra arguments to just be ignored (and allow to use a default like `function fn(a, b='x') {`). I also believe in most other _dynamic_ languages this is allowed, so it's just about what kind of language it is, not just JS vs the rest.

This theory would require you to believe that enormously wealthy entities would find a way to use their influence and their knowledge of the inner workings of the stock market they know like the back of their hand to prevent themselves from losing a metric shit ton of money.

There's less diagnosis for sure, but wait times for actual treatment has been absolutely amazing in my experience.

The diagnosis took way longer, in the US I'd have likely been diagnosed months earlier.

However, I was diagnosed on a Thursday, started steroid treatments by Monday in preparation for starting full treatment a few days later, and also went from an PET/CT scan to having radiotherapy just 3 days later.

I'd be wary of looking too deeply into survival statistics, especially since the much greater emphasis on diagnosis means that a lot of the cancers treated in the US are an earlier stage which is reflected in the survival statistics.

It's also important to consider that there aren't people made homeless through medical debt in the UK. There aren't people who avoid going to the doctor because they feel they can't afford it (regardless or whether they could with the appropriate allowances etc).

It's not a "religion", it's just experience of 70 years of fully public healthcare which is reflected in things like our vaccine rollout which when compared to our neighbours we have been miles ahead.

Even those countries with socialised healthcare but private provision (public insurance + private provision) have massively lagged behind because having a single provider of healthcare has been monumental in coordinating a massive vaccination effort, and as a result the UK is almost top of the per capita vaccination rate with only the much smaller Israel and Bahrain above it.

But again, I can't stress how good it is that I don't have to worry about my wallet when getting treated.

I was able to change jobs even while undergoing treatment because I didn't have to worry about losing access to health insurance. I may be wrong but if I were working the US I'd feel trapped in my previous job because I'd have been worried about not being covered for a time.

The TLDR is that I value living in a society where the poorest and the middle class both have access to the same healthcare. (And yes, like other countries we also do have a private healthcare industry, which is popular especially for elective stuff.)
> Well … OK I guess? But, pretty much exactly as pointed out last time, not only is the proof only one line, but the nature of the proof makes clear exactly how unoriginal this is to mathematics

This is what I was wondering about while reading the article. If the AI only generates formula for which proofs involve only a few trivial steps back to something that is known, then it doesn’t feel useful. But I feel like the question “what makes a good conjecture?” in its own right makes for a very interesting discussion.
And the reason it's called that is because in American English it's pronounced "bay-ta" not "bee-ta". So "b-eight-a" sounds right.

Some of these emulators support binding keys to click certain points (and even bind WASD to a directional pad), which is pretty nice for certain games. One could probably write AutoHotkey scripts to do the same thing, but it's just more convenient to have it built in.

I haven't used AVD to play games before, but while installing a game to test I noticed that it's using 1.3GB instead of 300MB consumed by the other emulator I use (MuMu). I can imagine that mattering for some players.

Edit: These emulators are also somewhat convenient for some mobile game developers, who can package them up with their game to create a PC installer. As far as I know you can't package up AVD like that.

Very nice! httpie is my favorite HTTP client, and it's always nice if command line tools run a bit faster.

Unfortunately the name clashes with a binary that's part of TeXlive:

But I guess then the packagers will need to rename the "ht" binary to "http" (and add a conflict with httpie) when packaging.
You can still have a signature mismatch if you're not sending the correct args. The point is to not pass the function to map directly but use the more explicit arrow function.

Little known fact and even less available, but: The best processor for the LGA1150 socket is not the i7-4790K, but the i7-5775C. Faster IPC, significantly bigger cache and a stronger iGPU, and despite not being called a K cpu it's overclockable. https://www.pc-kombo.com/us/benchmark/games/cpu/compare?ids%... shows a comparison with many gaming benchmarks.
