Visiting the UK office of a US tech company is funny. There’s at least three hierarchies in play:

1) The company one (employee, manager, director, etc.)

2) The UK class system

3) The techie machismo ladder (who is the biggest ninja, 10x, Superman programmer)

They interact in surprising ways. You never know who is going to defer to whom.
Alistair Cockburn used to talk a lot about the contextual aspects of agile and how you need different levels of process rigour and ceremony at different levels of scale (number of project members) and different levels of criticality (e.g. are you building a sign-up form for the Christmas party or the control system for a surgical robot).

Whether people say it is good or bad, it is useful to understand the context, scale and criticalilty where they came to that conclusion. Otherwise it is very difficult to compare answers.
They report all of the services using the cable as a single segment of their business. Of course they are attributing operating costs to that segment.

Like 40% of the segment cost is "programming" (TV), so the internet part of the service likely has even better operating margin than the segment overall (basically, slightly higher revenue than TV with considerably lower costs).

You’re offering criticisms of what OP is trying to do, but you have not offered an alternative. What is your solution?

Thus far, your position on this is too rigid and does not account for the spectrum of: org size, type, age, etc. It lacks maturity and awareness of the realities of many organizations.

If you’ve found a place where you can implement this stance: great! The vast majority of people are not in that position, and criticizing them for it is not a great look.
No it doesn't imply that. Your article is crystal clear, and makes a valid point based on your personal experience. So, thanks for writing it, and don't bother too much for internet points !
It's a clickbait title. That being said the real idea is the freemium consulting concept. Basically open source Devs give free consulting for a short time and then upselling to full on consulting for extended periods at full price.

In theory it could be a way to fund open source dev.

Smart contacts doesn't prevent people from investing in ponzi schemes. What smart contracts do provide is a stricter framework to express guarantees.

A good example of a real, everyday use case for smart contracts is NBA Top Shot. Unlike regular collectable the smart contact guarantees the company cannot decide to manufacture more of a rare item, it allows verification of the supply and traded value.

A lending contract like Aave simply formalises the economic contracts behind lending. By doing so it can provide stricter guarantees about enforcement. It's not so much of a contract but a strict set of bindings that the EVM will enforce.

If you've stayed away from binance perhaps you've used or hear of atomic swaps? They're especially smart contacts that aren't tied to any chain. A strict set of rules and moves to guarentee that the contract of swapping is withheld by both parties.

Nazi and hardcore communist propaganda have appeal to lost people, who have no place in the world, and usually are surrounded by other sources of bad influence.

It works for me.

Are you sure it's not just your corporate firewall blocking the whole tld? I've seen it done, since .ws domains are cheap and rarely seen, it's usually a phishing page. And so some IT departments block it.
This is not banning a book. This is the rights holder (a sizeable corporation) making a business decision to stop publishing a book.

Technically there is no textual communication. You could still communicate with players via signalling e.g. Choosing support commands for that player in places that are physically unreachable to you. Agents may learn to do that if players interpret them in the same way
:-) I know what you mean about CP/M. I am not sure I've ever touched a Kaypro, though.

There are or were some alternative Z80 OSes: SymbOS, Cromix, Uzi/Fuzix, S-OS, DR's own MP/M... Not sure if any would run on a Kaypro without significant expansion, though.

Some of the early-1980s Forth environments were impressive. I read of a replacement ROM chip for the Sinclair ZX-81 which could handle multitasking and windowing.
> people are really hostile about the idea of long hauling.

This is largely because the self-identified "long COVID" community on FB groups etc. (as opposed to the scientific community studying the phenomenon) is behaving very similarly to the "chronic Lyme" groups that flourished just before COVID. Many of those people truly felt distress and, indeed, one shouldn’t deny their symptoms. However, any link between those symptoms and Lyme disease was extremely questionable, to put it mildly. The same holds now with COVID, and many of the "long COVID" self-reporters were never even formally diagnosed positive for the virus in the first place.
Statistical quality control was not widespread at the time outside of a few enlightened industries. The Army was much more likely to buy a lot of parts where they could expect most of them would fit, rather than having all of the parts in statistical control within the tolerance limits.

That's just not true. This was Random House Books' decision, not eBay or Amazon. The marketplaces are just following orders.

> The decision won’t affect Dr. Seuss’s best-known works, which publisher Random House Books for Young Readers and several booksellers on Tuesday said would remain available to customers.

I believe Valve is working on Flatpak sandboxing for games. If this happen that would be one more reason to game on Linux instead of Windows.

It's not as good as open source but let's be real, you'll never get AAA open source games.

Games don't need to access personal data (such as contact, phone number, photos, files, private messages, etc.) so with strong sandboxing I guess it could be a okay solution privacy-wise
To me, this typifies working with technology and programming. Computer programs only ever look like they are working, because they have not encountered problem data or conditions.

Aka, it works on the happy path.

Software engineering is how we balance how much of the unhappy path and corner cases we take care of, and how we handle them, imo.
Proton will not make devs create Linux ports, but it will increase the user base and other devs might consider creating Linux ports for their non-game products.
Proton is what let me change my PC from Windows to Linux mostly full time. Now I only have a handful of reasons that I need to boot into Windows to get things done and out of 1000+ games on Steam, very few that I just can't play in Linux.
Reminds me of something I once read on Evan Martin's (creator of the Ninja build system) blog [1].

"Underspecifying and overspecifying.

Ninja executes commands in parallel, so it requires the user to provide enough information to get that correct. But at the other extreme, it also doesn't mandate that it has a complete picture of the build. You can see one discussion of this dynamic in this bug in particular (search for "evmar" to see my comments). You must often compromise between correctness and convenience or performance and you should be intentional when you choose a point along that continuum. I find some programmers are inflexible when considering this dynamic, where it's somehow obvious that one of those concerns dominates, but in my experience the interplay is pretty subtle; for example, a tool that trades off correctness for convenience might overall produce a more correct ecosystem than a more correct but less convenient alternative, if programmers end up avoiding the latter. (That could be one reason Haskell isn't more successful. Now that I work in programming languages I see this dynamic play out regularly.)"

Framing is a tool - it can be used for bad or good. You can use it to reframe an explanation in terms that your audience will understand more intuitively, or you can spin bad news to sound either unimportant or positive.

If resources were no concern you could rank the page twice and have separate JS and no-JS indexes. Of course this isn't perfect as a lot of the ranking comes from pages referring to it but I think it is fine. If the page has a good chunk of content it likely still makes sense to include it in no-JS searches. I don't think people will be annoyed that they can't do every action on the page, the real annoyance is getting a blank screen or the main content otherwise unavailable.

So at the end of the day I think just having a js-required flag for each document is sufficient and set that flag if the "main content" (as determined by heuristics) is unavailable before running JS. I think that would be good enough to satisfy most users with JS disabled without too much expense.

The current state of lock-in has been effectively maintained by the entrenched players, and it's really bad.
TLD is back online now. I'm guessing in the interim your TTL was long enough to survive the outage.
Typically the origin of such toponyms is in abbreviation of a designator (as happened for example with den Haag, where the full name is still survives in official documents), rather than proper noun, where the abbreviation becomes a proper noun.

In English this rarely survives except for odd cases such as The City of London (which is a small, legally distinct entity from what most people refer to as London). English is happy to drop articles when they don't reduce ambiguity, hence countries (Austria, Scotland, but retained in the descriptive name The United States of America) or Bend, Oregon (a case similar to Lenk).
Liability is a legal umbrella- I'm fairly confident they will at the very least freeze these funds (which isn't much for rug-pulled users but it's something). It's a federated network so well within their ability.
Multiple dispatch is not too different to method overloading, so you could start there for comparable examples, maybe in programming languages you are more familiar with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading#Rules_in_...

Bag of functions isn't a bad way to think about it, even for Julia. In some languages, only the name of the function determines which function is called. In others, the number of arguments is used too, so eg foo/1 and foo/2 may be different functions. In Julia, the types matter too, so foo(::Int) and foo(::String) are different functions ("methods" in Julia terminology), and which is used is based on the type of the argument, rather than the number.

That's where the magic in Julia happens, as if you define a function foo(x), without specifying any types, then the specific functions that foo call will only be determined once the type of the arguments to foo are known. But once they are known, that type information can ripple all the way down, picking up the specific implementation for each function depending on the actual types used.

Floating point is a real trip. They should probably spend more time going over its intricacies in programming courses, because its not going anywhere.

I am not sure this is about free speech even though it looks like it on the surface.

I personally think its a replacement of classic american culture with which most of new population ( immigrants, minorities ect) cannot identify with, something that "others" them. I talked to my extended circle of 'new comers' and no one cares about Dr. Suess and would prefer for it to be gone, so we don't have to be outsiders.

I think this is just the start. Classic americanism would be relegated to museums in next 20 yrs.

I remember only 10-20 yrs ago 'assimilation' was thing for immigrants. Assimilation meant learning about things like Dr. Suess. Now assimilation is not a thing anymore, might actually be considered offensive.
You're Right!

The sentence devoid of context is misleading!!

But the thing is cherry-picking a single sentence without its proper context is misleading if not downright dishonest itself.

I was clearly talking about COAL/FF DEATHS IN THE US. Why would I then go on in the very next sentence to compare that to WORLDWIDE NUCLEAR DEATHS?

Then in the NEXT SENTENCE, I bring up Fukushima and Chernobyl and say basically "if you want to count them then...."

Nothing about my post was misleading.
No, this is a company preventing people from selling a previously published (and purchased) copy of a book. This is book banning.
13 and 9 (to a lesser extent) sure, they can start to understand some of this. But 4? The 4 year old isn’t at the same level at all.

I find as a parent that I sometimes lump in my younger one with my older one and unfairly (to the younger) compare them to each other, even though the older one is just so much more developed. This sometimes ends up with me putting too high of expectations on the younger one unintentionally, and she feels inadequate.

Not trying to get all advicey here, but I know I have a hard time addressing each child at their own age and level, and while maybe the 4 year old appears to be keeping up, a 4 year olds’ brain is just not as developed as a 13 year old.
Goodness gracious doesn't anyone in the auto industry ever even look at how the word "autopilot" has been used in the aviation and marine industries? It has _never_ meant that the vehicle operator gets to abandon their responsibilities.

What does "cancel MLK for being anti-gay" mean?

Who wants to ban, censor, or otherwise remove MLK from history courses, national discourse, etc., and is that viewpoint representative of "woke" people or some sort of extreme outlier?

If cancel simply means that no one should be above criticism and that heroes aren't perfect, then ... what's wrong with that?
Ideas have generally been considered protected ground and the 'positive' freedom of ideas is the basis of scientific progression (tenure for example is a freedom to be contrarian, not a shackle toward rational self mastery). The fact that these books are oriented toward children is irrelevant, it is still an attack on the 'idea' that parents/teachers can use offensive works to a productive end. I would love to be a fly on the wall in Ebay or Amazon during their discussions on these bannings, because it seems their attempts to pacify certain audiences is so hopelessly naive it's hard for me to understand their motivation.

Do we want to live in a society where certain corporations decide which training wheels to put on us? The discussion isn't about their legal right, but about what their policy should be when X group comes along saying Y is offensive. I doubt these decisions were made from a cynical bottom-line perspective. No one as far as I'm aware was boycotting these places because they sold offensive children's books. The most disturbing thing to me is they did it purely because they thought it was the right thing to do. Their policy is what we're saying is wrong.
we should have miniature chips (microchips?) embedded under our fingers. we can successfully do away with all cards, ID, usernames/ passwords. The chips will be paired with an external, device which can read/write data to the card. this device will be completely closed NOT just an app on your phone. I'm imagining something similar to those card readers the bank sends for online banking.

> The Dr. Seuss books are an example of intentional book banning on political grounds.

As always, the only dynamic considered here by the publisher is money. They have made a calculation that doing this will benefit their bottom line in the long run. That's the free market and the way the system is designed to work. You may not like their decision, but it's their decision to make. That's the freedom they enjoy under our system. You have the freedom to complain about it and no one will stop you, but everyone is free to act however they best they see fit.

> And now eBay has decided that if you legally own a copy, you can't sell it to another reader, because it contains Dangerous Ideas from which the American mind must be protected.

eBay has not decided this. They have no power to decide this for you in our free market capitalist system. They have decided they don't want to facilitate the transaction, which is their right as a free enterprise. If you own the book you are still free to sell it to anyone you want. eBay is not going to help you though, and forcing them to do so would be against free market principles.

Reading your comment gave me a realization that transformed my understanding of floats.

What just clicked for me was that in any system where we use finite precision to store exponents, we can't actually have zero as a normal value... we'll always underflow the exponent before we get to actual mathematical zero.

So +0/-0 is actually a convenient misnomer. They really are +/- epsilon.

The only way to have zero is if it's some specially handled value like NaN. Which IEEE doesn't do and that's entirely understandable.

Makes sense why you can never compare a subtraction of floats to zero (it's beyond just "rounding errors") and the existence of +0/-0 seems quite natural now.
