> You want the date-only format? or the date+time format?
If your data field conceptually represents a date (such as a date of birth, or the user's selection in the input of a date), use the ISO-8601 date.

If your data field represents a time (such as the selection of the time when a daily should recur each day), then you should use the ISO-8601 format with of a time.

If your data field represents a specific point in time (such as the time an action happened), then you should use the full representation of the date and time.

> you want the T separator or space?

When concatenating the date and time, the 'T' separator is used. Although, this is an implementation detail I've never had to touch myself, since every date library I've ever used has been able to format dates into an ISO format, and parse them from an ISO format without me having to consider the separator.

> Is time zone represented?

Again, this depends on what the data being represented fundamentally is. If it's a point in time that an event happened, yes. _Usually_ if you're representing a full date & time the answer is yes, you should represent the time-zone (I always serializing these dates in UTC and include the TZ).

The TZ should only be forgone if the data represents the abstract notion of a specific date and time, rather than a specific point in time.

To me (other than the "T" separator), these are all fundamental data questions, and not serialization questions. You need to know whether a field is a DATE, a TIME, a DATETIME and whether is a Zoned Date Time or a Local Date Time regardless of your serialization format.

ISO-8601 conveniently supports all these uses-cases and more.
Correct, most modern locomotives are diesel-electric and not fundamentally different from a large standby generator that would be found in a hospital or data center. The locomotive has the great advantage of being easy to move, although a bit of MacGyvering would have been needed on the control/operation side since a traction power engine probably doesn't have a ready-made 60 Hz governor control.
Even of they figured it out, if the admins decide to axe your department to sell the building and make a rich profit out of it you’re toast. That’s how the Universiteit van Amsterdam decided they had to close a whole Linguistics department: it wasn’t hip and they needed the money to pay for the new posh Economics development, for which they had plunged the institution in a debt spiral. So the socialistish - thorn in the side - folks wasting their time in endless mental masturbations about Hungarian literature lost their offices.

Didn’t matter the whole faculty revolted and occupied the administration’s office, eventually the time was ripe for the police to break the protest and everything moved on as planned.

In 30 years this country won’t have a clue about Eastern Europe and will have to comfort itself with its heritage of prejudice.

Jeff Dean on Googles Approach for Research Publication
Could someone get the raw records themselves, codify the release date logic, and generate their own predicted release date?

If so, you could somewhat automate this, or at least allow incarcerated people to cross check their own situation by providing their data.

If you can automate this, you could allow extensive lawsuits to pressure the penal system to get this disgusting problem solved.
That’s not the point of higher education.

Their jobs are to instruct. As part of that these other roles developed and became expected.

However, like healthcare, privatization got to a point where the money made a difference more than the research and other roles. This is not a failure of capitalism, business, or anything of that sort; it was just a problem of taking things that were considered important out of the equation, because they were not understood or justified; and we’re allowed to scratch our heads over this and wonder why, but it’s simply that it happened; things sometimes fail.

Should we guard against this?

Probably, yes.

Could it be crowdsourced?

Probably, yes.

Facebook is negotiating deals with media companies. The Australian government got what they wanted.
In my experience, they don’t insist on it. People post links to news sites like any other content, then the algorithm does its thing. You get news in your timeline from the people you follow — just like Twitter, or many other social media sites.

But ultimately people are more allergic to the word polytheism as they'll spend more energy interpreting why it isn't because it is crucial to their identity. Basically "only false idols are polytheistic", groups of people that were punished specifically for worshipping and exalting multiple deities. So although there are three supreme supernatural beings that all have to be pleased in different ways, the word polytheism would cause a greater reaction than simply brushing off how the venn diagram between polytheism and the trinity is a circle.

While overall consumer traffic fell by 60 percentage points, legal restrictions explain only 7 of that. Individual choices were far more important and seem tied to fears of infection. Traffic started dropping before the legal orders were in place; was highly tied to the number of COVID deaths in the county; and showed a clear shift by consumers away from larger/busier stores toward smaller/less busy ones in the same industry. States repealing their shutdown orders saw identically modest recoveries--symmetric going down and coming back."

Right, so there would have to be built in functions that mutate and return an object. So, for instance, one might be:

List::replace list index value -> list

List would just write to the `list` it is given. If `list` is a CoW reference, it would make a copy first before mutation (hence copy-on-write), if it was not, it would just mutate it in place.

To mutate `xs` with append as you suggested, you'd have to reassign `xs` with the result of append. Because this would make the `xs` in `append xs y` the last occurence of the value, `xs` would be mutated in place:

xs = append xs y

If the function were of the form `append y xs`, you could use dot-notation like so:

xs = xs.append y

and if you really hate writing out `xs =`, you could always make a macro:

syntax 'mut value function {
value = function value
}

mut xs (append y)

I've got to go, but I'll get back to you on tail recursion.

I agree that job loss probably isn't all that bad... (Unless it lines up with a wave of companies closing, which is known to happen from time to time.)

I can also just save + diversify /more/ with faang salary and equity than I could at a startup. The $50k/year is a lower bound on what I expect the pay cut to be in moving to a startup. So from where I sit, there's really no financial argument for moving to a startup. The startup has rather lower pay, some probability of payout multiplied by a value that I just kinda expect will be chipped away by the suits, and some probability of a bad outcome (with some bounded range of potential badness). I look at it and just think it's not interesting unless I get really, really bored.
That's probably true. Look at the mental impact furlough schemes have had on people

Explicitly against both companies was using OWN in app payment solutions thus bypassing their payment systems and 30% cut. But that whole EPIC drama is just another internet drama, nothing there is about users, online shops, or anything other than money.

Yet, at the end they can’t go and say “we don’t care about any of you, we just want more money!”. So they have to put this stunt in place. :-)

I think you just restated everything I said.
This was not my experience at all.

Building in Fortnite is a race and the gameplay is too frenetic to "design" anything. It's just a matter of building higher, quicker (or farther if you're rushing). After a while you just go through the motions.

There is no strategic depth to it and it really detracts from the strategic positioning and obstacle navigation that other BRs have, so IMO it's a net loss.
Which language/country is this?

This was not government standing up for anybody. This is a shakedown, pure and simple.

If the government wanted to insure that Australians had a healthy independent news ecosystem, they would have legislated against filtering news for your bubble.

They would have passed laws insuring balance and impartiality in the news itself.

Update: There is nothing in legislation that says the money paid by these companies needs to be paid to journalists or to produce news. This money will go directly into executive bonuses and the news organizations will still go out of business.

Not related to Stadia, but I had some issue with my Pixel 3a yesterday that it just stopped charging and had to get in touch with Google's support to try initiate a repair (turned out to be a software bug, thankfully). My learning is :NEVER , EVER, EVER fucking trust Google with your hard-earned money, ever FUCKING again.

"Going forward, the government has clarified we will retain the ability to decide if news appears on Facebook so that we won't automatically be subject to forced negotiation,"

I bet Google wishes they would have waited a bit longer before negotiating those agreements. It's nice that the government finally caved on the most egregious part of the legislation. Looking at the media response over the past few days has been absolutely shameful. Just about every piece out there completely glosses over the fact that the legislation originally outright forced Google and Facebook to pay and still host content even if a mutual agreement wasn't reached. It was a deal you can't say no to.... legally.
Mau: a lightweight markup language
I'm a SIL-4 programmer. If you can find security issues in my code, its because it hasn't .. yet .. been through the rigors of my teams safety certification and validation processes. Check back in a year, and don't forget to start with the code coverage counts.

While I certainly concur with your perspective, the context is, C/C++ vs. Javascript. You have so many low hanging fruit in the npm eco-system, you'd be a fool wasting time on my code. Which, incidentally, is protecting millions of peoples lives in 40 countries, while they commute to work every single day... its not exactly the kind of stuff that teenagers unpack for use in searching strings for things ..

Finance code should be much, much better tested than the Javascript eco-system allows. There is no reason not to write finance/cryptocurrency code with the same vigor as transportation safety modules. You're totally right that, if my C/C++ codebase were treated the same way as the average Javascript module, you'd be having a field day.

But, done properly, you'd have your job cut out for you. And thats exactly what I'm asking for, from those building 'next generation finance software': get it to SIL-4.

As someone who has had to do IVF for our child and go through the challenge of figuring our what to do to try and improve sperm quality, I can tell you once you start looking into it, basically everything about modern life is bad for sperm. Heat, radiation, plastic, micro plastics, soya, tap water, Teflon, antibacterial soap, underpants, western diet. It’s a perfect storm.

If you’re going though it though I offer a ray of hope that it was possible to sufficiently avoid these things, at least temporarily, and it made a very large difference (4X better within 6 months) and resulted in a now 3 year old child.

The most reasonable work around is to force producers to label their product.

There are many vegetable packing containers which do not specify which plastic type they are. There are thousands of cleaning products and hygiene products that hide these compounds in the 'Parfums' label.

Forcing manufacturers to exaustively list composition would at least give people the data to make an informed decision when buying a product.

Epic literally showed how it would benefit the consumer in their example. When Apple takes 30%, Epic (and all businesses) have to charge 30% more than they otherwise would be okay with. Even if epic only relays 10% of that back to the consumer, the consumer still comes out ahead.

And if you don't like fortnite as an example, use any app on the platform you might pay for. They all pay an unavoidable 30% Apple tax.
