Not quite true. The statement released 14 hours ago says:

"het is onder de huidige corona-maatregelen niet mogelijk en niet verantwoord een Elfstedentocht te organiseren." (www.elfstedentocht.frl/geen-elfstedentocht/)

Which means that, under the current measures taken by our government, it is not possible, nor responsible to organize an 11 stedentocht.
Their main point is that it is not possible to organize the event and get everyone to stick to 1.5 meters.

Besides that, they also state they think it would be irresponsible to organize an event that would attract hunderds of thousands of people, and put more pressure on hospitals.

Admittedly, that final point would not change if the government decided to grant an exception. But such an exception would be cause to re-evaluate this decision. Since the current rules are such a large part of the justification of this decision.

Agreed.

The goal of these companies is to have end-to-end control as this gives them control and security of their revenue.

This might not be a stated goal publicly but the deeper they can take things and the more things that they can put a moat around, the more they can rely upon and grow their revenue and profits in future. I can see how each step feels like a natural increment over the prior.

I loathe the privacy impact of the way cookies have been used, but these changes merely push the same issues inside a behemoth who can capitalise upon that data in a more opaque way. This feels like a transfer of control and a land-grab on a colossal scale.
It surprises me a bit the way they refer to in-house dependencies purely by version number. When we have internal dependencies in e.g. package.json, it's always referred to by an explicit url and git ref.

The rule is by consensus in a democracy, law is an expression of that consensus. The constraint comes from the people, the demos, and not from some tyrant.

MPs are supposed to work for us, those with power wish to reduce the scope of "us" and some MPs are there specifically to enable that. But anti-democratic MPs doesn't alter the lack of rulers in a proper democracy it just changes whether our (UK) political system is a proper democracy or not.

As an unrelated fun fact, Common Lisp has more low-level bit operations than C, such as "and complement of integer a with integer b" or "exclusive nor":

It also has logcount, which is the counterpart to the implementation-specific popcount() in C.
>And I stand by my position that defending a bad decision because of the existence of worse decisions is a really piss poor counterargument.

This thread was just about the two alternatives (the PEP and explicit capture), not about the PEP in general, or about defending the PEP or even saying that the better alternative is "good". We just say it's better than the PEP. Not sure how you read that into what we wrote.

Then go make that argument in some thread in this post discussing the PEP proposal in general?
This is not just about new tax - it's a bigger scenario that PiS gov't tries to play out. Few months ago they announced they'll finally will roll out their plans of "media repolonization" which will be dealing with foreign capital running media outlets in Poland and deconcentrating the market. If you're even slightly following what happens here in last year then you probably get the obvious idea: it's about making sure that PiS party will have means of delivering their propaganda, even if they lose power in future.

I expect that tonight (or less possible in a few days) public broadcaster TVP in its pre-prime time Wiadomości news service at 19:30 will announce that "the cruel non-Polish media refuse to help millions of citizens in this hard pandemic time by refusing paying important new tax". The news service is ridiculed for their headline bars that just scream with old communistic Polish People's Republic propaganda language.

The main political aspect aside, I can hardly sympathize with media operating on the Internet seeing how much data they're harvesting from us - there's no site that wouldn't be infested with tracking. Some outlets shamelessly drop ads disguised as news articles or are lazy enough to just copy article that was already copied somewhere by same subsidiary and pretend it's well-sourced. I don't have to add that quality of content is quite poor in majority but that happens everywhere within online journalism nowadays. Back few years ago there was this cross-publisher's project of payments system that aimed at monetizing content produced by outlets with slogan "do you value a good online journalism?" (shortly become a meme itself) but it hardly get traction; some news sites are still using it but it already become forgotten.

> Third party cookies can be easily blocked

My understanding is there are a minority of legitimate use cases that require them. If Chrome stops supporting them, those flows will get rewritten, and anyone not using Chrome benefits? Add to that an aggressive anti-trust action splitting Chrome from the bit of Google that sells ads (I can dream?), and this all works out fantastically well. Probably too much misplaced optimism.

I suspect what actually happens is that ad-tech companies end up using clever tricks at the CDN or server level to work around this.

Theoretically yes through parliament, who approves succession issues in a complex system with precedents that about 3 people understand. William of Orange becoming King is probably the most notable example. Recently there was a curios case where succession laws were change so that females inherit equally, but everyone with the Queen as their head of State hate to change their laws at the same time, had one country not done so, or the wrong gender babies been born at the wrong time along with a few untimely deaths, the countries would have ended up with different Monarchs.

No, it's not a scoping change, the variable in the pattern is definitively in the scope (function or module) containing the pattern match.

It's just non-determinism (or, no specification) as to what, if anything, gets assigned to it as a result of the failed pattern match.

> I don't think Rust suffers from the issues that make functional languages hard to compile, so that might be a bad example.

The issue is that in functional languages, the compiler has more information and can reliably rely on more assumptions, thus it can make more optimized code. This is why also Common Lisp can compile to very fast code (in a few of the cited micro-benchmarks, faster than Java).

Here in Spain the royal family is also paid in a similar way as Denmark and Sweden. However, they are corrupt and make deals with SA and other nations.

Except this wasn't a problem with npm but rather with private registry implementations, and a setup with npm + Verdaccio is apparently actually one of the few configurations that isn't vulnerable to this problem.

This idea that criticism of wealth must be just down to envy is really quite a tired stereotype.

It makes even less sense when there's a hereditary class of people whose wealth and power is constitutionally guaranteed and, as we've discovered, who use corrupt means to maintain this by intervening in the lawmaking process to neutralise threats to their income.

It's not envy to realise that there must be a better system than this.

Reddit Raises $250M, valued at $6B in the new funding round
I don't know how they are doing it but Google manage to fail at anything social. By that I mean communication platforms, social networks and instant messengers. They have promising starts but they fuck it up later. Their only successes I'd say are GMail and YouTube.

I'd say for GMail, it is just an email client they started out excellent, thanks in part to its huge storage space and good search features. And they didn't break it enough to make it unusable.

As for YouTube, it is great for hosting video, but its social features are terrible. There are communities tied to popular channels, but it stays in a producer to consumer model, with no interaction between community members. The comment section is made in such a way that dialogue is almost impossible.

Maybe they should hire a few people who understand human beings, because right now, it looks like the company is run by robots.
OK. Let's separate the ad industry from ad technology for now. So as for the latter, have a look at the Revive ad server [0]. It allows you to deliver ads with intricate rules as to when they should be served, on which websites and so on. It allows you to be less dependent on Google/FB duopoly. You can host the ads either on your own websites or contact the owners of other popular websites and arrange an ad deal that doesn't involve user tracking. Yes, this is the opposite of what modern ad networks are doing.

In any case, advertising without user tracking is, in my opinion, one of the most ethically neutral forms of making your product/service known, in contrast to morally dubious methods such as advertising with user tracking, product placement, advertorials, advertising disguised as articles/videos etc.

Apple apologizes for falsely accusing developer of fraud
I had good enough grades to go to a top university and study something very technical. Instead, I picked an unusual subject that I liked at the time (this is outside the US so you pick a subject/major when you're applying), went to a low-ranked university and lost all interest after a year or two. Since then it's been a lot of struggle and additional effort to get my career back on track but because I work in a field that's very gate-kept by credentials (data science) some of the damage I've done seems irreperable. I find it hard to move on from knowing that I was in a very fortunate and advantageous position early in life and just gave that up for nothing in return.

> The essence of the issue you quote is that Python needs block-level scope for variables (in addition to the standard function-level scope).

No, it's not. I mean, sure, either general or special-case (like comprehensions already provide, and there is no good reason for matches not to) isolated scope would solve this, but so would bind-on-success-only with existing scoping.
Less than $4k average bounty for this.
A variable name has never referred to the value of it in expressions where it is being assigned. In 'def f(a,b,c)' or '(a,*_) = x' the term 'a' doesn't refer to the value of a either. A match statement in this sense is just an assignment that has a graceful failing mechanism (rather than e.g. '(a,*_) = x' which throws for empty lists).

And I think the ship on '|' has sailed with the dictionaries.
This is not an infinitely zooming. It is like someone drives a car.
Is one of Apple's newest iPhones already doomed?
Yes, if you have packages on the artifactory the `index-url` is always a way to go. However, if you forget to specify `no-index`, you might not get what you wanted, see [1] for how packages are found. And it's easy to make such mistake when using local resources (you forget to set proxy or internal DNS, new developer is not familiar with the setup and does plain `pip install`, internal server is temporarily unreachable).

>It just pollutes PyPi and a nuisance to others.
I agree, but so are the packages that are no longer maintained. You also reserve pakcage name if you decide to opensource it. Furthermore, by creating package you are leaking metadata about your organization, i.e. some functionality can be inferred from package names.

And sure you can train and try to enforce security awareness, but your people need to be right 100% of the time, while attackers need them to make only one mistake. Similar with namesquatting of the popular packages.

> but a lot of what you list was taken from different languages, or is distinctly un-Lisp-like in Python, or was in Python from the start rather than absorbed over time, or is just obvious enough to put in a very high-level language to be reinvented.

Here, Python clearly borrows from functional languages. And there are basically two families of functional languages: Strongly and statically typed languages like ML, OCaml, Haskell, Scala, F#, and on the other hand, dynamically typed Lisps and Schemes.

My point is that all these adopted features are present in the latter category.
