I think we've heard enough about sovereignity in the UK recently to recognize that it is sovereignity is always contingent and somewhat ambiguous.
The article links to this which itemises what the three known instances were.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/08/queen-lobbie...

So the Queen's advisers lobbied for a royal commission to not be possible to scrap by executive order (but it was scrapped anyway), for the royal estates to be exempt from road traffic regulation (all private land is) and some Queen's Estate representatives threatened to complain to a senior minister in a meeting with civil servants about the impact of a bill which the Queen gave assent to anyway. Over the space of half a century. If there are other instances where royal representatives were a roadblock rather than on of many special interests whose opinion they humour, the incentives for politicians to publicise them are strong.

I think that's more consistent with the monarch's impact being "practically nil" than her being the reason things never go people's way. There's an argument that's more legislative discussion than the representatives of a ceremonial monarch should be participating in, but you don't pressure civil servants by threatening to tell the Chancellor you're gravely concerned if you're actually pulling the strings.

> McWhorter is both a bona-fide expert

On linguistics? I'm willing to assume that for the sake of argument. On racial politics? Given his writing on that issue (and not just the current piece) the generous assumption is “no, not at all, he's just a blowhard that's been given a platform because he can spin a tale that people in power like to hear well”.

Being a “bona fide expert” in a different field plus being black doesn't make you an expert on racial politics/social movements.

It's especially sad to me because CDPR was one of the major developers who really seemed on the right side of things. The Witcher games never offered micro-transactions, and the DLC constituted substantial, supplementary extensions over the base game. (And it was sold DRM-Free to boot.)

Even as someone who never cared for their games, I really appreciated them as a developer. I can't say whether The Witcher contained compulsive/addictive elements, but CDPR was not incentivized to do so, which IMO is what matters.

I don't know whether or not this says anything about the industry, it's just a shame.
My reply was at least partially facetious as this wasn't my first exposure to Go. If you like the simplicity of Go's type system I can't argue with that, but I do think your article demonstrates the way that simplicity at the language level pushes complexity into the users code. Pick any modern statically typed language and this whole post will boil down to something like:

Nikolas here, I'm Daniel's (2color) colleague :) quickly want to follow up!

> 1. Focus on integrating with tech I don't care about (e.g Next.js, GraphQL).

Just to clarify, we don't focus on any particular stack but Prisma can be used with any framework/library you like! Would love to learn more about what exactly gave you the impression that we'd focus on Next.js and GraphQL so that we can make sure folks don't misinterpret this in the future :)

> 2. Don't understand the business model. Seems like you want to lock folks into your ecosystem and then start charging for the surrounding products (e.g. Studio, Migrate).

We are commercial open source company, similar to companies like Hashi, Vercel or Gatsby. It's not a secret that we are a VC backed company and will need to make money eventually. In fact, we're currently working on a first version of a commercial cloud product that, among other things, will enable developers to collaborate better when using Prisma's open source tools in their projects. This commercial offering will be primarily targeted at teams and larger development organizations.

Nonetheless, the open source tools remain the core of our business and we're investing a lot of time and energy into them. Nobody will be forced to use the commercial services if all you need for your app is an ORM :)_

Ask HN: Best Therapeutic Models for Autistic Children
I'm trying to figure out what are the best therapeutic models for autistic children on the basis of association with non-autistic children. Should an autistic child be taught to socialize in an environment comprising only other autistic children (with perhaps more pronounced behavioral patterns regarding stimming, sensory problems) or should they be taught to socialize in a mixed environment of autistic / non-autistic children.

This is the system of government that the people of Britain have chosen

There is surprisingly little basis for arguing that the people of the UK have ever chosen almost anything important about our current system of government. That system is largely based on historical conventions, often dating back centuries and in some cases to the outcomes of civil war, and the status quo has several built-in feedback loops that make it difficult to change even with widespread popular support. The constitution of the UK is a fascinating subject, but it can also be rather uncomfortable subject matter to study if you believe in ideas like democracy and civil liberties.
Royal powers went away in 1689. The Queen's role here is entirely pro forma, and she cannot alter legislation.

The fact that governments have sought her approval on matters, despite not being required to do so, isn't remotely surprising. And if you didn't care about the state providing a privileged life for the royals before, why would you care now?

The fact is, not enough people care enough to make it a political priority.
Yep.

People don't put up enough resistance to our workplaces invading our personal lives.
It comes down to what brackets mean, and the reader understanding what is quoted.

In your second example, the quote is clear, verbatim as quotes are intended to be.

In the first example, what has been clear, precise syntax is not a matter of ambiguity.

In your example, it's somewhat clear, but inference is required to understand what was said.

The example given in the article actually does bring genuine ambiguity to what would otherwise be a precise, easily understood expression:

They may groan when Corky, denied the massive funding he’s asked for, tells the town council he’s going to “go home and bite [his] pillow,” the way I do now.

Did Corky say, "go home and bite pillow" broken English style?

Or, did Corky say something else?

Until this construct, we would know because "[his]" would be added into quote context. It would not be a modifier, essentially hiding or changing the quote.

Notably, what Corky did say isn't actually present in the expression, meaning we have to now trust the author interpreting things for us.

Breaking the line with how brackets are used is going to lead to significantly increased ambiguity, and that's going to happen because it will be employed to spin or otherwise manage far less trivial examples, and sorting it out will all take considerably more effort than it all would otherwise be, given brackets are never normally used to modify a quote itself.

And all for a bit of flow? I don't buy it. The whole affair diminishes how robust brackets are and introduced ambiguity into expression that does not add any real value.
I once met an engineering statistics professor under social circumstances. Said professor proceeded to brag about never having a student get an A on his final, along with other similar comments. Later, I took a class from a history instructor who started the first class by going around the room mocking the students individually. (I dropped that sucker so damn fast...)

Some teachers specifically not to teach, but to take power trips over students. They are simply bad. Others are there because it's a paycheck; they're not very good. Some others are confused and loopy. They're not great.

But most of the university and college teachers I've met were interested in teaching students---they're typically teaching something related to the field they've spent their lives on, right? Most were middling good, some were spectacular.
It seems that may be possible with cameras.

While this is a great strategy for figuring out the cause of a bug, I’d argue that “root cause analysis” in engineering is typically a much more qualitative analysis, and more about high impact failures than mere bug reports.

A more accurate title may be “automatic data collection and analysis for bug reports”; I’m also confident that Microsoft has been doing this exact same thing for at least a few decades.
And anyway, Android, even the free software part, will always do what Google wants to do. One may fork Android, but maintaining an ever diverging fork would have an ever growing cost.

And there are aspects of newer Android versions that are less than ideal. For instance, one can see how Termux is struggling to keep working: it is not possible to run binaries that are not part of an Android package (APK) anymore. This is a security feature, but it's not always relevant depending on how you use and manage your OS.

Plus, developing for Android is a pain. You need to download, setup and use a bloated SDK with a non-free license. There's Android Rebuilds [1], but it's not complete.

I trust GNU/Linux distros like Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch, Manjaro to evolve in a direction I like. postmarketOS probably too, but I'm not familiar with it as well.

Well, the article says that we don't really know, it just references a pamphlet. My understanding (and take this for what you will) is that it's interpreted very liberally. So, foreign policy and war are likely taken into account.

Can anyone confirm this is actual pattern matching and not the frankly ridiculous procedural version that was originally proposed?

That proposal, to deliberately hobble pattern matching by making it a statement, was an egregious ideological campaign with genuinely absurd consequences.

Yes, I mention people had the option to present or not. Only 1/3 of my team signed up, but that was fine. Only the people who were interested presented, but the whole team actually joined to watch which was completely up to them also.
This seems like a great system for isolating steps to reproduce a bug, but I’m not sure I would consider this “root cause analysis”.
My friends launched Marco[0] last year for teams do fun stuff virtually. Was at first skeptical of doing something like a gin tasting on Zoom, but all of the events I've done are really fun. They vet the events, manage delivering food and booze for you, etc.

I'm not a big fan of first to market myself, but it does seem to get some people to pay attention, so I'm not afraid of dangling that carrot if it suits me.

Feedback is important. It's not the only thing that's important, but it's important. Sitting on a bunch of dark code means you won't get any feedback, and when you do get it, it won't be usable (too late to reverse course).
As mentioned, this is an unmaintained fork of Aseprite which went "shared source" in 2016. If you want an actual open source, actually maintained, pixel art program I recommend GrafX2: http://grafx2.chez.com The major drawback is UI may not be "modern" enough for zoomer tastes, as it's based on old PC/Amiga painting programs, most notably Deluxe Paint. But I liked it so much I contributed code to it (a bugfix to get it working on NetBSD).

I used to watch F1 a lot and I believe it's very hard to compare drivers because the machine, team and the setup is a big part of the outcome. Having said that, when it rains, Senna was always the best and incredible to watch and everything else. If it starts to rain and the yellow/green helmet starts to overtake one by one, after a couple of races you realize that there's something in him that no other have. Might not make him the best, but definitely the most enjoyable to watch.

I stopped watching it after he died.
Hopefully the J&J vaccine gets approved and continues to work well. It is much more practical to send everywhere than the mRNA vaccines. Then the trick is to get wealthier countries to commit to making it widely available.

(We can do the same with the Russian and Chinese vaccines if they are suitable; but the point is that it would be nice to see world leaders start talking about widespread vaccination as a global issue)

> too temerary

By the way, the best English equivalent of temerário/temerario is "temerarious". [Edit: per your reply, I should also point out that "temerarious" is an extremely uncommon English word too; it's just that "temerary" may not even exist at all.]
The "right" way for division by zero is controversial, though maybe that would be a solution.

It's clearer for partial function "head :: [a] -> a", which takes the first of a list if it exists, and explodes without dignity if the list is empty (this is what makes head partial).

A proposal is "head :: [a] -> Maybe a", so head returns Nothing when the list is empty.
How archaic process of Queen’s consent is still used on modern laws
"[...] letters reveal how the archaic parliamentary mechanism, which originated in the 1700s, is still being used in the present day to give the Queen – an unelected individual – the unique right to be consulted on draft laws that affect the crown and her private interests."

I did like the idea that they recorded low memory conditions. That seems incredibly useful for debugging issues that occur in the wild. A natural next step would be checking GPU memory as well if they haven't already.

Reputation extortion as a service. I get the mental image that this is how the mob has evolved. No longer are knuckle dragging guidos with crooked noses walking door to door in the neighborhoods offering protection services. "It'd be a shame if something were to happen..." but online.
The Nicest Clubhouse on the Internet
I wish Oculus (well, maybe not Oculus, but they are the only ones with a standalone headset currently) would build something like this. Google had good tools for making the content (although it'd have to be adapted to be 6DOF), but the problem was that you had to either have every kid bring a phone and be on the school Wi-Fi or have a box of Android devices to keep up with (which probably weren't under MDM or anything). If you could have quest for $299 and have interactive educational content there (which the textbook manufacturers were making with Google, so they'd probably be in), there'd be a big market I think.

If you never pulled out code into its own separate function just in order to name some lines of code, you should give it a try. You can avoid a lot of comments and/or confusion by just structuring your code in a way that allows you to name lines of code as concepts and abstractions. No need for it to happen more than once for you to do so.
I am unaware of any such passage in Plato where the verbal expression of an idea is compared with the written expression of that idea; he criticizes eristics and he criticizes writing.

Is energy efficiency a thing in SW Engineering?
I took a look at the energy consumption on my laptop and the top 3 consumers were docker, slack and firefox. I only was using firefox at the time. So it got me thinking. Energy consumption per se seems to never be an issue in SW engineering. Should it be though? Has anyone else thought about it?
Ah, sadly I am in the "they already use my code but I can't whiteboard a binary tree inversion" camp.

It's overcollateralized, but that's okay because you actually want to continue holding the asset to realize appreciation.

To your point about avoiding capital gains tax, at some point you would have to repay the full loan, at which point you'd have to pay capital gains tax anyway. I guess, at best, you could always guarantee that you pay the lower long-term capital gains tax rate rather than the higher short-term capital gains tax rate. What's the repayment schedule?
