Speaking as a long-time Perl monger (Perl5 has been 80%+ of my day job for most of the last 25 years):

Perl6 was definitely a fiasco that contributed to Perl5's demise. The active support in the ecosystem was divided between the "two Perls" and sapped the driving forces in the community.

Perl5, like any other language, needs constant maintenance and growth in order to interact with modern tools and frameworks. For example, Protobuf and gRPC only work with a particular module (Google::ProtocolBuffers::Dynamic) which requires an arcane series of dependencies.

Remember that a language is much more than just the semantics and the batteries-included libraries with the core. On the module and community side, Perl has been in free fall for the last decade.

I just don't want to take the chance about telemetry data being used for monetization, now or in future. Also, the original PR's setup meant that even if I wanted to share telemetry, there was no way for me to share that without it going to Google/Yandex. And I definitely don't trust them.
A woman will live for 5 more years. She already has three kids at age 2, 5, and 7. In this scenario it is very likely the reduced resources these kids will have from sharing with a new sibling will reduce their chance to survive more than the 5 year old motherless child will add to the expected number of descendants.

You could argue that it would be better if the genes considered these scenarios better and adapted. But genes are very crude, they can't encode for all those things, so instead they just do what is best in the typical scneario.
If you think outlawing that market doesn't drastically reduce its scale, your reality is so different than mine that there's nothing more to be said.
As I recall, the 'View As' was a feature, allowing you to see your own profile and posts as would be seen by another person, so you could make sure your post privacy/visibility settings were set up the way you wanted. I used the feature quite often and was quite annoyed when they disappeared it one day. Do you have more info on this?
Hey, I fail to see how this is suboptimal. Some points I don't understand:
* What's the goal of a validation that always succeed?
* What's the value of checking constraints after you parsed it and not capture this information?

In the end, parsing is just a combination of what you described: ensure something fit a particular shape and constraints :)
The case of age gap between men and women is greatly overstated on HN. The average age difference (for a heterosexual couple) is 2.3 years. In 64 percent of heterosexual couples, the man is older.

There is age gap, but you all wrote about it as if 45 years old routinely dated 23 years old. They don't.
There is a dilemma when optimizing web sites and apps: Do you want stuff to show up on the screen before or after the font is loaded? So by not trying to optimize the font load, your site will render/load faster (because the browser starts rendering the site without the font, then replaces the "dummy" text with the actual font), and usually the web font has loaded just in time to show the correct font when the user starts reading.
>Pleasantly surprised to know that it actually existed, even if it was not a viable aircraft

I do not see any mention about this. It seems there was an issue during a test, the prototype was broken and there were no funds to resume testing.

I feel like this is a key point for the entire discussion. The legality of deliberately foiling lawful investigations is debatable, but protecting yourself against wild-west malware decidedly less so.

That being said - if it's all fine and dandy, I don't see why a Cellebrite-foiler couldn't be a separate app. Moxie (threatening to) piggy-back it onto Signal, purely because it's the app he controls, is a deeply user-hostile move.
I would say it's normal for businesses which are engaged in competitive feature development.

Stability & reliability are relatively easy to achieve if you aren't changing the software frequently.
Or GP has experience with such promises in the tech landscape, e.g. FB's promise about WhatsApp data.

Or they don't believe in telemetry ever bringing value to users, only to the ones collecting it.
It seems like there's a bit of a logical leap in that argument. As the article notes, Cellebrite isn't exactly discerning when it comes to their customer base. It seems like they sell their tools to just about anyone willing to pay their steep fee, not just US law enforcement. I'd argue it's more akin to a specialized crowbar or blowtorch in the safe analogy. Sure, law enforcement might use it to try to crack your safe, but so could various other bad actors. There would be a legitimate non-spoilation purpose in protecting political dissidents who have their phones seized at a foreign border or stolen, for example.
There is a team, that is maintaining something important, underfunded or understaffed. To fix, apply more resources.

Well, you can perform surgery, remove team and rebuild, but the correct amount of resources (funding, staffing) must be procured. There, solved it.
Subnautica had this in early access: a "feedback" function where you chose either a smiley or sad face, filled in a free text field, and one click sent it to the devs. From what I hear this worked pretty well.

Once the feature and toggle exist, reversing the default is a much lower barrier than adding the feature. Keeping it expensive helps reassure users that they'd notice the change.

Quite a lot of anecdotes here that seem unironically ripe with certainty about what seems to me to be a well-made series of ironic analyses. 'Women between x and y would never look at a man over k if not for ____'. Sounds like my toxic relative who won't shut up about the plight of western civilization.

Dudes, loneliness is hard, but try to let it affect your outlook for the positive. Someday, if you aren't too hung up on your insecurities and can tell a joke or two, you'll hit it off with someone. If she's cool, she won't care about your car or your height or your age or whatever. Maybe there's variation in this over time, but who knows.

Just get out there, take care of yourself, and be sociable but not too trying ;)
> Social adventures are more fun than purely looking for love.

Eh, that's subjective. Personally I rather dislike 'social adventures'. It's probably why I stopped dating relatively early. Eventually I met someone through a friend, but had it come to it I was prepared to be alone rather than engage in what constitutes the modern dating experience.
Yup, this has been best advice I've listened last year, and subsequently built on-site community chatbox. It's been amazing source of QA, feature ideas, discovering who are the real people using the service... We even hired from it.

My only reservation was that it won't scale but even for userbase of 100s of thousands registered and millions of uniques a month (in the parlance of dumb telemetry), it has! I love it.

To anticipate "why not just discord/telegram/whatever channel/server" - doesn't work as well, there's certain immediacy of it being purpose-built and being right there on site, that's apparently very valuable.

French court upholds ban on pro-Palestine Paris demonstration
I have experienced working on a messy application codebase (jQuery + Knockout.js) which was 7-8 years old and seemingly was hastily made by on contract of another company. Had to refactor it to ES6 (dynamic imports) -needless to say it was a big pain with unpredictable barely any performance improvement as compared to refactoring on another codebase.

jQuery is a good tool for simple one page applications but not designed for complex web apps. It is harder to code cleanly in it as compared to React.
Can you point out the problems shown by this discussion? Because I can't.

The concerns are legitimate but let's give Muse some time to answer properly. I haven't seen anything shady… other than the initial telemetry thing that has been widely fixed. The community has been listened, I see this as an actually very positive thing for Muse.

I'm very happy to see private companies take care of open source projects (if they do it properly, obviously)
I think it comes down to viewing habits. If you like to browse and watch anything interesting then recommendations are probably good enough and you'll like YouTube. But if you're looking for something specific (which I tend to do) then recommendations don't help. As great as a video might be, that's not the subject I want to watch right now.
I have always been fascinated by powering devices with rectennas, but my research always turns up people “debunking” this, despite there being able research papers. Could you elaborate more on how you’d approach such a project?

Also may I ask what your current field is?
I guess it depends on how you structure your code.

If you validate at constructor level, then you have this problem. However if you actually parse it, then this will have to be external to the actual class and you are left with a simple Value Object. This means that you can apply constraints only when it makes sense. Most of the time, there is little reason to validate something coming from the DB, so I would rather skip it.

About unboxing, that depends. I would expect for the overall business logic to always use the more structured types, probably this will only be needed once you need to serialize them :)

That's said, if you are happy with your current way, please keep doing it! I would still suggest to give this style a try though :)

This is a naïve take. For instance, it doesn't explain men who find other men attractive. Shouldn't that have died out too since it is significantly more incapable of producing healthy offspring? Human sexuality is absurdly complicated because our brains are absurdly complicated.

Then why do humans die in childbirth (esp. Pre-modern medicine) so much more commonly than other animals?

Additionally, in pre-industrial societies, i think that children become a net positive much quicker, so im not sure the resource calculation is quite as stark.
I remember the NES game Zelda II, The Adventure of Link, was delayed. Nintendo Power or some other NES magazine had a quote from Link saying he was sorry but there was an issue with some chips.

I forgot all about that delay until seeing this headline, and Zelda II is mentioned specifically in the article.
I've not had much experience with modern allegedly "secure" FPGAs, but the scenario I see here is if your synthesis tools get compromised by a bad update (or another attack), they could add a little bit of "side logic" to every design. Solarwinds style.

With encrypted output and what I understand to be no ability to carry out QA/evaluation on the bitstream (with encryption meaning binary comparisons shouldn't be meaningful), you can't really gain assurance that the output is as expected.

Of course you could argue that you compare the encrypted bitstream with your "final version", but this only works until you need to use the field programmable aspect to update something, and now you have to take a leap of faith and flash the bitstream, and hope your build environment is good, as there's no real way to check.
Considering the people who would give out their zip-code in the supermarket at checkout, I would hazard the guess that the less technical crowd would opt in and that their feedback or telemetry on what makes a simple UI is more valuable.

The US isn’t very homogenous, it is merely depicted that way in media.
I see, but isn't that true for any library? xD

In the end, `Parsed` should only be handled whereever you receive the initial input, so the rest of your business logic will be free of it :)

In the end, this is just a tool and it's fine if it isn't fitting your particular style or use case ;)

A bit off-topic, but in all the posts surrounding Muse Group acquiring Audacity, including the one you linked, I never understood why people keep saying things like "what does it even mean for a company to acquire a FOSS project?" or "a company can't acquire anything other than the trademark".

Well of course they can acquire a project. To acquire the project doesn't just mean the trademarked name, but also the rights to call their version the official version, the official website to distribute their builds on, "BDFL" status including write access to the canonical VCS repository and the right to accept or reject pull requests (unless, of course, the project doesn't have different governance policies in place).

They might also acquire the right to the previous owner's source code, which means that they could (assuming they re-wrote all the other parts that were written by other contributors) dual-license the project (without violating the GPL).
I do see value in having applications compartmentalized (which is something the Linux world is moving towards too with Flatpak and Snappy). But the user should have full access to it, which is is not the case on mobile.
>But a lot of vendors in this industry, the industry of selling surveillance technologies to governments, sell not only to the U.S. and other countries that respect the rule of law, but also to repressive governments that persecute their own people, where the definition of “criminal” might just mean being gay or criticizing the government.

And then I suddenly don't care what this person has to say.

The US persecutes its own people and many others around the world. The US is extraditing Assange for criticizing them. The US still operates Guantanamo Bay contrary to its own "laws". The US still invaded both Iraq and Afghanistan (the former based on lies they circulated through the media about how Saddam Hussein had "ties" to Al Qaeda). The US has a kill list of its own citizens which no citizen can appeal once their name is put on there (even if it's a mix up since many people have the same name). The US sends over $3 billion to Israel yearly, and also much money to Saudi Arabia yearly so both countries can oppress their people, butcher innocents, and flatten press buildings.

So spare me the handwriting about "those evil governments that criminalize being gay" because the US is far worse than that and even supports many of those governments.

> Surely "opt-in" destroys any validity the data would have (self selected groups are usually a poor proxy for typical users)

Is there actually any data to back this up? Personally I see no reason why an opted-in group would be using an application that differently from the masses - your hot paths are still hot paths, common errors and annoyances will still be triggered. Really the only major thing I see that could be different is that a certain hard to find feature might be used more than it would otherwise.

But disregarding that, the argument is not "opt-in" vs "opt-out". Opt-out is not be on the table at all - silently collecting information from users without their consent or any affirmative action on their part is immoral, and damages user trust. So when you take that into account, the options are opt-in data vs no data whatsoever, and opt-in, taking into account any potential bias you think this data might have, is still more infinitely useful then getting nothing whatsoever.

Brand building is bullshit, the real benefit for authors in regular blogging is to focus ideas to the point where your next book / article / essay is already clear in your mind. It also works as research into a topic. Private blogging is more like a log file, public blogging requires more discipline.

The author has done this all his life and was able to produce a 1500 word essay with over 20 references in an hour.
My totally made up guess is when we sleep our brains operate at a lower temperature than awake, regardless of activity. So to quickly transition from waking temperature to sleeping temperature, maybe yawning does a rapid cooling that's then maintained by normal slower-acting processes.
