He said it works in theory.

He didn't estimate timeline, but it would take longer than a weight/crane operation. If the situation was much worse (partial capsize, somehow deeper entrenched on the coast), this might be a more plausible option. With the containers in an accessible location, it should be faster to organize a weight redistribution campaign instead. Just thinking about the logistics of safely building and deconstructing the dam made his head spin a little bit.
I'm a brit who was only discouraged from the process of becoming a American (when much younger and on a terrific upwards trajectory which crazy events eventually skewered) and I would be hurt particularly by property tax now and actually the moment my income ceased growing.

I can't remember if Florida doesn't have property tax and that then may explain why so many of my family retired there, but everywhere I wanted to live did.

Is it totally implausible that ordinary intelligent people might have some ideas better than "put some tug boats on one end, and a single backhoe on the other end"? Because that's what your expensive experts have come up with so far.

For my brilliant idea: Announce that everything on the ship is free, including the ship itself, and watch all the ragamuffins of Egypt strip it to nothing in a day.

>other than that the contributors aren't allowed to directly compete with them (iirc).

No, the wording in their SSPL is much more broad than that, such that creating any logging facet would put you in legal ambiguity at best - the worst case, which unfortunately now two licensing lawyers I've watched be adamant about this being the realistic interpretation in court (/dev/lawyer and one who advised our and other software companies), is that you really can't be in compliance without releasing your entire software stack.

I totally agree with the idea that a business becomes before project/idealism considerations though, if you're a company trying to finance an OSS project you need to think about your financials/survival before any licensing purity - which I don't think anyone is criticizing them about in this scenario anyways.

That being said, you can make changes to your project for your business but do so on terms that the internal and external community don't find disingenuous, don't characterize those whom are upset with a withdrawal from previous promises(1) made to them as conspiring to spread misinfo, or even to have taken many in the community's suggestion for dual licensing under copyleft license and commercial license that provides a hedge against large cloud providers.

Anyways, if Elastic's response to going back on a promise is to gaslight their own (reasonably) begrudged customers and contributors about how the company going public shortly is the real little guy/victim, then I think most already know whether to trust their lawyers or the company.

The only way I think would've been to be another village tough or a low-life posse supplicant. The dude was out-of-work, drinking, smoking, and not doing anything and taking out his angsty frustrations in life on everyone else, including his kid, his wife, the mailman, the apt manager, and anyone else that walked by who wasn't a part of their gang.
> "Everything has to be an object": obviously bad

Personally I prefer when it's all objects. Otherwise you wind up with primitive types that you can't do all the objecty stuff with. Then you wind up with hacks like Java's int vs Integer dichotomy.

Compare this with Python where the internals of the integer type are so hidden that it can do things like seamlessly replace it with a bigint. What it is inside doesn't matter because you only care that it answers to the same messages.
Compare "def analyze" and "func analyze". It's obvious this article was copying the other.
Apple literally designed large parts of AArch64. There's no do wtf you want license that you can go out and buy, but Apple has one none the less from the sheer fact that it's partially their's to begin with and they negotiated it with ARM before AArch64 was even a twinkle in their eyes.

ARM probably has some trademark mechanisms that they could in some world use to enforce compliance from Apple, but Apple has been super duper careful to refer to it as Apple Silicon rather than ARM.
This is probably an unpopular opinion but I really can’t wrap my head around the arguments for FP and against OOP.

By the end of the day, regardless of which paradigm you choose, you’re still just defining concepts, and every concept has properties (both externally visible or not) and functions. The problems raised against OOP always seem to be a problem with the average programmer’s lack of understanding of ontology, so then they put structure and function inside concepts where they shouldn’t be. This lack of understanding of ontology is why, in my opinion, there’s equal opportunity for both paradigms to write equally ugly and horrible code.

I mean, I’ve seen people use RxAnything in a modern, expressive programming language that allows both OOP and FP, and still they ended up defining massive view controllers, incomprehensible interface names, extensions that apparently exist but aren’t visible to the programmer from anywhere, property assignments that apparently invoke functions under the hood, etc. If programmers write horrible code with OOP and they still write horrible code with FP, maybe it’s not the paradigm that’s the problem, and maybe it’s the common denominator: the programmer.

Not really. Think of costs of fuel, costs of crew, I created insurance, slower delivery times.
If with a zero turn radius, these ships are in excess of 1000ft long...you need a lot of clearance and a large radius just because of the physical dimensions (and so you know, we don't get a second ship wedged sideways in the canal.

Yup.

I admit, fallout could be a problem though, especially with all the other ships in close proximity.

I think the point it fails at is that this is actually a much harder problem in real life than a simple 150 line solution suggests.
Why do they need to be put on rail cars ? Unload them onto the sand next to the canal.

A pile of steel that used to be a ship, won't float anymore. It would have to get dredged out of the canal piece by piece.
> Windows invented the taskbar

Maybe, though it was probably inspired by a merger of the dock, which was not introduced by Apple but by NeXT in NeXTstep 1.0 (well, before 1.0, really), and the graphical shell menu/status bar in MacOS which MacOS had long before it had a dock, which it didn't get until OSX; the Windows task bar approximately merges those functions (but doesn't also serve as an application menu bar the way the MacOS one does.)

Back to IRC we go.
Back in my childhood in the 70-80's era lets say there was a question on an IQ test about just this problem.

A ship carrying a bunch of barrels of oil or whatnot is in a lock and needs to be unloaded. There is no crane and people are lazy. Given the current distance between the deck of the ship and the ground, the current draft of the ship and the triangle of its hull, and the shape and level of water in the lock....

How many barrels do you have to push over the side to lighten the boat and also raise level of water in the lock until you can unload the rest of the barrels by rolling them down a ramp to shore?

Seal up the topmost closest to density of water containers, attatch a line to them,push them off to lighten the ship and raise the level of water in the lock until the ship floats. Retrieve the cargo later. heh.

Then again, I couldn't figure out the correct answer to that spherical cow question back then and probably still can't.

You could also maybe flood the lock with oil which should be plentiful as long as it's still dense enough to be lighter than the ship. Let the ship float away on oil until it's straightened out, then clean up the oil mess and Bob's your uncle.

If only spherical cows.
So could we dig out one side of the canal and then pull this ship off to the side to work on unloading it?
I regularly work with Actions that produce very large logs (building Yocto) and I've found trying to diagnose build failures to be extremely frustrating since this change rolled out. I want to jump to the end of the log immediately, since that's presumably where I will find my error, but instead of being able to do that in one step, I get stuck in a treadmill of endlessly lazy-loaded log lines; every time I get to the bottom of the window, it's no longer the bottom of the window anymore, regardless of if I used the mouse wheel or tried to yank the scrollbar down. Now when I have build failures, I find myself immediately just going for the raw logs, because I can jump to the end of them without putting in unreasonable effort.

How is the video dramatized? It's a series of clips of Elon lying from his mouth, a series of testimonials from fans who ate the lies up. No claim made by Elon needed to be manipulated or exaggerated or miscontextualized to emphasize the point being made.

It was obvious and apparent to those in the self driving car industry that Tesla's hw3 hardware would be insufficient for full self driving; and even if it wasn't, saying that developing level 5 is now just a software problem is a massive and egregious understatement.

I tried to inform fans about this on many occasions from the day the HW3 specs first dropped, and I'm sure you can imagine how well those efforts went over.

These are Tesla fans, who, in some cases were buying Teslas they couldn't afford under the sincere belief that the vehicle would pay for itself in a few years when they start farming it out as a robotaxi.
What makes functional programming objectively better? Are there studies which show this to be the case? What does better mean? Better for some people who prefer the functional approach? Better for some languages which support functional programming? Better in some situations which functional programming is well suited? Or just always better for everyone?

Well the common FP answer is that data might have many operations on it that are totally orthogonal and that don't depend on shared behavior. I say this as someone who thinks both paradigms have something to offer.
Here in Spain we try not to swear in front of kids (because we know they will copy it), and we find jarring to hear a kid swear. More or less jarring depending on the word. I remember my surprise the first time I heard a grandma swear (I was a teen at that moment). I assumed grandmas never swore.

This is good. However, the question then becomes how on earth did Google Tag Manager get added to those pages to begin with?

That question needs a serious answer.
others had noted a workable "compassionate system": more housing, plus supportive services. no coercion necessary.

about handling unexpected situations, the control aspect is about how you respond (e.g., quelling fear so you can think more quickly and nimbly), not how you directly control others. self-defense classes for women will emphasize this, and improv classes in conjunction can help develop mental agility under pressure. sometimes we can't do much, but it can be surprising how much a handful of techniques can work. i sympathize with your anecdotes, but is this a problem you only face with homeless men?

for context, most assaults (of any type) are perpetrated by non-homeless men (usually someone you know). my own experience aligns with this general trend (catcalls by the homeless but more serious stuff by non-homeless men).

tangentially, homeless folks are at much higher risk of assault than non-homeless folks. this is something i've anecdotally witnessed in my own neighborhood - projectiles thrown, tents burned, even murder. i once had to call 911 for a homeless guy after he was assaulted with a knife by a young, non-homeless couple.

Well goodness, I wrote a factory factory factory in OCaml only eight days ago:

(* A goal that succeeds if v is one of `terms` *)
let rec amb (terms : term list) (v : term) = match terms with
| [] -> null
| term::ts -> disj (match_goal v term) (amb ts v)
and null (s : state) = Mzero (* a goal that always fails *)
and ...

For those who don't speak OCaml (whose syntax is really quite unintuitive), that's a function named `amb` which takes a parameter called `terms` of type `term list` (in C++ syntax, that would be list<term>). It returns an anonymous function that takes a parameter called `v` of type `term`. This function may call `disj`, or it may return `null`, which is not a keyword, but actually another function I defined; it takes a parameter named `s`, which is of type `state`, and returns Mzero, which is at long last an honest-to-God singleton constant. (Of the parametric type `α stream`, as it happens, but let's not get distracted with that.)

So `amb` is, in object-oriented parlance, a state stream factory factory factory. Upon being passed a `term list`, it returns a factory, which, upon being passed a `term`, returns a factory, which, upon being passed a `state`, returns a `stream`. (I only traced the `null` path in this comment, but the `disj` path also returns a stream, specifically a `state stream`—OCaml's static type checking guarantees that both return paths return compatible types.)

You might think that isn't the way it's actually used, but my example code uses it in precisely that way:

dump_stream (call_fresh (amb [Const 17; Pair(Const 20, Const 20); Const 11]) empty_state) ;;

Here `amb` is being invoked with just a `term list`. (OCaml separates list items with semicolons, so that commas always make tuples.)

So I think factory factory factories are very useful, but also I think they're really hard to keep under mental control without a functional language with a strong static type system. How on earth would you translate those four lines of code above into Java? With four inner classes, maybe, nested eight levels deep with {{}}?

If you're interested, I was translating μKanren, a Prolog-like logic-programming language originally written in 39 lines of Scheme, into OCaml: http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/mukanren.ml

I happily use fp+oop in scala and i agree with what you say about rxjava and also most scala code is bad

the benefit of FP as a practice is more modular functionality. imperative code isnt always tangled, but it often is. OOP is for more modular data
There's a Richard Hamming quote, along those lines, that I like. I do keep in mind he was surrounded by brilliant and stimulating people at Bell Labs. Some closed door or deep work is necessary to shut out the truly unproductive aspects of modern office work. Doing this without seeming rude is an art.

"I noticed the following facts about people who work with the door open or the door closed. I notice that if you have the door to your office closed, you get more work done today and tomorrow, and you are more productive than most. But 10 years later somehow you don't know quite know what problems are worth working on; all the hard work you do is sort of tangential in importance. He who works with the door open gets all kinds of interruptions, but he also occasionally gets clues as to what the world is and what might be important. Now I cannot prove the cause and effect sequence because you might say, ``The closed door is symbolic of a closed mind.'' I don't know. But I can say there is a pretty good correlation between those who work with the doors open and those who ultimately do important things, although people who work with doors closed often work harder. Somehow they seem to work on slightly the wrong thing - not much, but enough that they miss fame."

This article is factually inaccurate because it says that "the storm begins" in September 2019. This is untrue, but the media won't tell you that, for two simple reasons: the media likes an easy, catchy story about terrible people like Epstein, and the media doesn't have access to the internal workings of the FSF Board.

If you want to know what really happened, read this account from someone who was on the FSF board at the time: http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html

The author of that post is extraordinarily well-respected in the free software community - having won, in fact, the FSF's own Award for the Advancement of Free Software just this past Saturday, the day RMS announced his return to the board. He is the coauthor of the AGPL. He's spent his entire career fighting for the GPL and for free software and working with the FSF, and he was a personal friend of RMS. He was executive director of the FSF from 2001 to 2005. He is just about as committed to the free software movement as RMS himself - he's just a couple decades younger.

As he says in his post, he was unable to speak publicly about what was happening until resigning from the FSF board in October 2019. So obviously the media couldn't talk to him, and they wrote about what they saw. Don't believe everything the media tells you.
And that's how you'd get a nice, friendly visit from the Sixth Fleet.
