This library seems to be providing a framework and doesn’t include any interesting parsers. (There is no email address parser, despite the example.) It seems to allow for some composition of parsers, but the basic idea is a design pattern that’s simple enough that it doesn’t obviously require a framework.

So it seems like most of the value comes from standardizing on domain types like Username, Email, and so on. Using a framework doesn’t get you there, and it adds a dependency on the framework.
The EU lawmakers are doing what the gutless paid for and owned US lawmakers cannot or will not do.
The US congress balooneyd around with Zuckerberg, he took the piss out of them.

The EU politicians are a little bit less shameless and do something to protect the population(not even the local electorate, they have the ability to see beyond the box).

Facebook and Instagram are designed to keep people more "engaged"(addicted) , in order to collect more data and push ads down everyones throat and retarget those who do not want any business with them.
Tried to delete FB, ig or WA account completely? Every imaginable Ui obstruction and retention trick will bother you on the way out.

The mother ship wants all the data intermingled to be more efficient. Hell no, team EU lawmakers all the way.
I mean, yes, the point is that it is a better place to do the validation step. Also, parse is generic to mean from a representation to a more structured one.
I always wonder why Israel gets so much exceptionally good support from USA. You can't boycott made in Israel product, Israel is always considered as defending (doesn't matter if root cause in specific cases were Israel) even though it has superior military advantage comparing to tiny Palestine, who uses toy like rockets, don't get me wrong, I am making an assumption based on damage their rockets made on the streets of Israel.

Anything related to Zionism, Nazi or some conspiracy theories against Israel is prohibited, but using words like Islamic extremist or Muslim terrorist are fine (even though it hurts another 1B Muslim population). Same applies to what Twitter did to pro-Trump articles/tweets. Not saying Trump is good or bad, but some people had opinion pro-Biden, others pro-Trump, but Biden got unfair advantage when Twitter started censoring pro-Trump articles.

I think this double standard is going to hurt next generations, by silencing alternative ideas/opinions. All opinions should be equal, unless it promotes danger to human life.
The article you linked describes retrieving all instances and establishing connections to a subset of them, not retrieving a subset of them. To achieve deterministic apertures it further needs both the complete serverset and the complete peerset.
I think you might have just restated the Turing test?
,, But a proper goal for policy should be for automation to complement rather than replace workers''

This is actually trivial to do: get rid of income tax. Taxing land property by its value makes much more sense, as it correlates with the burden a property has on the government (city, country infrastructure), but I guess that policy is not that popular with the older generation.
>It was a cryptocurrency company, and it had been running for a while - but it didn't have a blockchain. "So we need you to build a blockchain," he went on.

I have seen this first hand, on a much smaller scale, at a startup that was riding the blockchain hype with investors. It is really incredible and eye-opening to me what you can accomplish with hype and trust, with absolutely nothing backing it. It makes you realize that it doesn't matter if what you build is cool or innovative, if you can't get people to trust you, it won't succeed.
Initial builds are indeed quite slow, especially when a project has a lot of dependencies. However, in most cases further builds are not that bad. I have never built Alacritty from source so I don't really know if there are any specific issues with it, but from my experience incremental builds take just a few seconds in medium sized projects.

Additionally during development a full build is usually not necessary all the time; oftentimes it's just enough to check the code for errors with `cargo check`, which is usually significantly quicker than building a full debug binary.

Edit:

I tested building Alacritty from source on my computer (Ryzen 5600X, Windows 10). The initial build (consisting of 130 crates) took 34 seconds. Building again after adding a single print statement took 6 seconds, and `cargo check` took about half at 3 seconds. It's not ideal by any means, but IMO it's not also unreasonable for 25K lines of code, plus those ~130 dependencies.
I imagine they are both about the same in effectiveness and that is probably somewhere below a monkey randomly throwing darts at a spinning wheel of options.
Actually, the class you linked was an experimental class, and we ended up going with Python instead. (source: I was the head TA for that class)
Appreciate to the response. Some of you mentioned are not for technical reasons, but for some other reasons such as there's simply no place to put them among the image. I think we can make some supplements in the description.
There are a couple of things that JavaScript got so incredibly correct:

* Lexical scope natively without syntax or conventions

* Functions as first class citizens

* Inheritance, classes, OOP are not forced on you and can be ignored/omitted entirely from your code

Those few things are what has kept me hooked on the language.

> Node is not ECMAScript in a server-side ECMAScript engine, it's JavaScript in a browser JavaScript engine.

What does that even mean? The APIs are completely unrelated and Node does different things that don’t make sense in the browser.
True, most of us share a bunch of processing and the same kind of tricks work on us. And we all share a lot of lower level stuff with most mammals. There's still way more variation between humans mentally than physically.
The thing is, we all know they want our email address so they can market to us, so there’s absolutely zero chance of me ever entering a real email address into that box.
I like this answer because it’s practical. Eg score 0 is a different thing from score undefined (which means you don’t know the score).
As a bamboo user who is not an admin, everyone on that team can fuck right off.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to build a CI tool on a concept of information hiding is a monster who should be banished back to whatever eldritch plane they crawled out of.

You can’t have a coherent conversation with anyone about the functionality of Bamboo versus other CI tools because Bamboo is constantly lying to you about what is available. You don’t even know to ask other people for help with something because you don’t know if Bamboo can do it. So people use the ugliest kludges that their privilege level allows to get things done, creating an unmaintainable mess in the process.
> It turns out that even if you accept "Python is great and JavaScript sucks" that "Python compiled to JavaScript" ends up even worse than JavaScript.

Clearly, there are people that disagree with this value judgement, and the existence of that disagreement is an existence proof that Python for frontend is, in fact, a choice people can make, even if it is one you find unattractive.
Information Won't Change Anyone's Mind
From my perspective (mostly a Python user), Javascript is a fine language for general-purpose scripting and server dev, and Node is more than fast enough to handle typical workflows.

Why do you think it's not a good language for this?

Also, I see a lot of value in using a one single language that can truly do everything: frontend, server, and scripting.

I guess you could use Python or Ruby like that with Wasm, but I haven't seen evidence of people doing that.
I maintain systems written in Ruby, Elixir and PHP over the years. Every server side code written by me even as old as 5 years ago, works with very little modification required for today.

But the Javascript part is the one that always causes me hours-days worth of work into Rabbit holes. And by JS, I don't necessarily refer to the language alone. It's the entire ecosystem.

Oh, `npm install`? You just found out you got like 1000+ vulnerabilities. Alright, good thing it told me actually, let me update.

BOOM! Babel doesn't support this specification in this file anymore because it's nonsensical so you have to do something else now. Ok, BOOM! Babel deprecated that now, you have to try this workaround. Oh, wait. Actually, there is no workaround. You gotta downgrade your node version.

Ok, let me downgrade. Oops, that package isn't supported anymore on this node version. Oh, you need to replace this because it's no longer maintained.

I literally never had to go though this pain with any of my Elixir backend projects.

Fuck Javascript
They mean specifically on assignment. Though, when in doubt, quoting never hurts.
Precisely this. A blog gets to decide what comments to allow. But if Facebook wants to connect everyone in my country then we as a people have a right to decide what is allowed and what isn't, not some billionaire. This is especially egregious for people outside the US where Facebook is a foreign company.
Yeah. The word has taken on the connotations of a slur. Serious, charitable, good-faith critics, of any government (or any group, for that matter), should avoid slurs like the plague. Stick with criticizing policies.

The government of Israel should be criticized but that has nothing to do with who they are, only what they do.
To pick up on your tangent with a tangent, I think Tim Powers's take of the Winchester House mythology, in his book Earthquake Weather, is my favourite re-interpretation of the story.

As to Javascript - I like the language because it a language that fits best with my way of thinking about code. I'm not sure if that's a good thing to admit.
It took 6 years to ship ES6. We've now had a new spec iteration from every year after 2015. They are moving much, much faster and, having lived through ES5 to much pain and angst, I'm completely ok with them taking their time shipping these (very nice to have) features.

Did you adjust it? Most Vostok watches have small internal "thing" to adjust - worked for me (had the same problem).
Randonautica. It's not exactly astrology but it does exploit psychology for a fallacious "magical" effect in a similar way, and it's quite popular.
> Lithium is a valuable resource. EV batteries have lots of it. Therefore EV batteries are valuable even after they stop working.

A Tesla battery weighs about 500 kg and has about 10kg of Lithium (2%). The Lithium is worth about $130, whereas the battery costs more than $10,000. It's difficult to extract the trace elements of lithium from the thousands of individual cells honeycombed together in the battery, so there is no known way of getting at that Lithium via processes that are even comparable to the value of the lithium recovered. That's why no one does it.

A car, on the other hand, is 55% steel by weight, and there are relatively straightforward ways of getting that steel (no, the car is not "melted down". The steel components are melted after they are removed from the car). That's why steel in cars is recycled but Lithium in batteries is not.

The issue with recycling is the cost of extraction -- yes, catalytic convertors and old computers contain trace elements like platinum (maybe $2 per catalytic convertor) but extracting it is far too expensive. So merely the presence of an expensive element in a manufactured good does not mean it is economic to extract the element. In the vast majority of situations, it's not.
On the other hand, there are concepts (closures, objects, pointers) that come more naturally with some languages, and you absolutely need to learn the concepts even if you don't end up using the language.

Don't pick one, pick a healthy mix.
Thank you for the info. I am starting a project and was thinking choosing Flutter or React Native. I have used both Flutter and RN for some small toy projects. I really liked Flutter with fastlane. Does fastlane still work?

Do people actually use Unity for apps? I am actually building an app for kids, Unity can be really interesting for me.

Stranger things have happened in our world.

It depends on how much these experts law enforcement people care too. A random IRS guy found the Silk Road guy, not some fancy investigation. The question is anyone in India, or where ever with corrupt police and military, are even looking hard for her.

You probably need someone like the Americans, UK, or Russians (see Shamil Basayev https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamil_Basayev) IRL to really care at this level.

Note: I haven’t listened to the podcast or deeply into her, just my point of view on that subject.
Nope, it is not that hard, just cannot live the big life. I am not so sure if she was the real head of operation anyway, more like the publicly visible rep(bit like a nominee director).
“Parsing” in Python
> First, we should stop trying to predict or even attach probabilities to disasters. From earthquakes to wars to financial crises, the major disruptions in history have been characterized by random or power-law distributions. They belong in the domain of uncertainty, not risk. It is better to admit that than to delude ourselves with unattainable and probably misleading precision.

This paragraphs sums up this article for me. Lots of incoherent finger pointing. "We should do better but let's not delude ourselves that we can". In the one paragraph above he prescribes a model for occurence while telling us it's pointless.

This was the main part I found interesting:

> Not coincidentally, the places that did best in 2020 included three — Taiwan, South Korea and (despite a serious summer setback) Israel — that face multiple threats, including existential threats from neighbors.

So preparedness is a societal mindset. How frequently does a country need to be threatened to maintain this? How long does this mindset last after a threat? How much does preparedness cost a society? I'd have liked him to talk more about these kinds of things.
is that really the case? - i.e. what if private citizens run the servers - i don't see why these rules would apply to them.
Wow, this is interesting. Are there any diagramming tools that allow importing PlantUML to display them a little nicer than the examples?
I can understand the appeal that it is a transaction that is entirely about the customer and their concerns, worries, history.
> The rules are too tricky to remember even for shell experts -- there are persistent arguments on POSIX behavior that is over 20 years old, simply because it's so confusing.

I don't know, I find it easier to not use set -e. I find it significantly easier to just explicitly handle all my errors. Having my script exit at some arbitrary point is almost never desirable.

I find chaining && and || pretty intuitive.

var=$(myfunc) &&
echo OK ||
{
echo Not OK
exit 1
}

This is pretty contrived. I'd probably put the error handling in a function and then only handle the failure scenario:

var=$(myfunc) || die 'Not OK'
echo OK

I never run into problems, this always works as expected, I don't need any language or interpreter changes to fix it. Once you realize `if` is just syntactic sugar and [ is just `test` then the world gets pretty simple.
I went on a Tinder date the other day. Totally random, no mutual friends, never met or spoke before. Within five minutes she told me she was a palm reader, so I humored her and asked her to read mine. I was absolutely shocked. The level of detail she went into that was dead on about my past and my personality was hard to explain away. It's of course just cold reading nonsense. But there's something about that interaction that really bothered me, and I can see how less rationally minded people would fall into it. If economics really is just cold reading at the societal level, there's probably something to the idea that preconceived notions can end up determining the course of reality.
I don't think anyone deserves that long for something done at 15. Remember that the potential range of failure (how hard you can fuck up) for a 15 year old is kinda arbitrary as much of it is based on who your parents are.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve punishment but that seems like a very long amount of time to sentence a minor.
The Gender Pay Gap and Empirical Facts
When you think about it, there was enough complex decisions taking place to point towards a developed (albeit devoid of conscience) mind in control.

A childs reasoning would more likely follow this kind of path:
Child wants alcohol->storekeeper has alcohol->child capable of coercion by force (ie stabbing)—>child gets alcohol from storekeeper

However, instead he did this:
Young man wants alcohol->storekeeper has alcohol—>alcohol costs money that young man does not have—>innocent passerby’s have money—> young man capable of coercion by force (ie stabbing)—>young man stabs innocent passerby’s for their money—>Evaluate whether amount stolen is enough for alcohol, if not, repeat previous steps, if so—->young man gets alcohol from storekeeper

Good decisions are not proof of brain development, however complex ones are. Given the evidence I would say he was rightly judged as an adult.
Your comment doesn’t address what I wrote. Unlike most other diseases, COVID has no evolutionary pressure to become less lethal over time.
If they’d actually implemented a blockchain that did what they said it did, it wouldn’t have been a scam. As it is, this has about as much to do with cryptocurrency as most Nigerian princes have to do with the African nobility
There was a strange time in the dark days of IE6 dominance 20 years ago that you actually could write page scripts in non-javascript languages. VBScript was a big option that some people used, and IIRC there was a way to get python support in IE (and Windows) script host too. When I was first learning Javascript in ~1998 I remember all the docs showed how to do stuff in both JS and VB script tags: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17483782/vbscript-suppor...
The rear underbody of the Y is aluminum but it still has a steel chassis. Aluminum can never fully replace steel because it lacks the strength and rigidity.

Regardless, aluminum is expensive to extract and refine, requiring a tremendous amount of energy. In terms of cost, on average aluminum is more expensive than steel.
As a team lead, I try to assign success to the team ("they") and blame to me when possible (or the team, never a person publicly). I _think_ a soccer coach does this (want to say Bielsa) "the boys won the game" never "I won that game".
I don't have any numbers to back this up, but I'm pretty sure that between Google, Mozilla, MicroSoft, etc. more resources (both people and money) have been put towards improving JavaScript (language and performance) than any other language in the history of programming. Now I hope someone will provide numbers to show why I'm wrong.
Aww he's just a kid... no need to get upset about him stabbing a bunch of people to death now is there?
Yes garbage-collected, with a caveat. From the website:

> Nim's memory management is deterministic and customizable with destructors and move semantics, inspired by C++ and Rust. It is well-suited for embedded, hard-realtime systems.
The valuable data they have is to build a model of your personality and emotional dynamics, where they can control the input, what you see in timeline, and watch the output, the mood revealed by your subsequent actions and posts. Knowing what stimulus will upset you enough to donate or share a given type of content is pretty valuable, even compared to knowing you need a new laptop.
The "truth" of astrology may not really be the point, that is, even the most skeptically-minded might accept that astrology has value for some people because the simple creation of the formal system (regardless of whether it actually reflects reality or not) fulfills a deep human need. This is a view advanced by the philosopher of science Ernst Cassirer, for example.
There's a lot going on but the basic reasons are:
Evangelical white Christians think the existence of Israel is necessary to bring about the Apocalypse, a thing they want because they go to heaven.

The Israeli right wing wants criticism of Israel to be inseparable from criticism of Jewish people. This means you can't criticize Israel without being painted as anti-Semitic, and to be fair there are a lot ppl who criticize Israel for deeply anti-Semitic reasons.
I have one of such working watch, with Lenin face and goldish plate as my daily watch. They are amazing pieces of history.

Those watches do not need battery power, and this is super amazing in era of computers and internet.

Just spring and muscle, perfect for post apocalyptic world.
France and the UK have far-right parties that poll well, as did Sweden recently. It’s not just Germany.
It has a garbage collector by default, though it can be disabled (--gc:none) and then you can manage memory manually.

In the future, Nim's default memory management will use reference counting with destructors and move semantics inspired by Rust and C++.

You're fed and clothed your whole life. Plus 60+ years is a lot of time to build some robust rationalisations as to why it aint so bad.
While some people complain about the Rust community being evangelical, you'll find this is common. We've built a culture of helping answer questions, sometimes to the point of being too enthusiastic about it. If you ever need help, jumping into the forums or various chat platforms will usually get you a courteous answer in minutes.

We aren't perfect, but this is one of the aspects of the Rust community I'm most proud of.
Not to get too lost in the weeds but I really never think of economists role as "tell me what is going to happen" as much as " tell me why you think X happened"... I there is a subtle difference there in how sure you can be if it will happen again, why, and so on.

The math showing free market equilibrium being the most prosperous depends on a large number of entities on both the selling and the buying end.
What I’m hearing is:

Because the language wasn’t planned to support all of this from the start, we just shouldn’t use it.

There’s lots of great reasons to use a full JS / TS stack. There’s lots of reasons not to.

Doesn’t mean it’s inherently bad. This is the same logic used against PHP every day yet it’s used all over.
Yeah, overusing this is awkward. The main point is not to assign blame, agreed.
It should be considering who is backing it.
