For some reason the US is completely in love with the stop signs in places. They are very frequently used in places where European countries would just put the "yield" sign.
The fact crypto is facilitating large numbers of illegal transactions is evident enough it has value in doing so. I’m not assuming crypto is a silver bullet, but merely that it will be a force for good in scenarios where what it can more readily enable compared to alternatives are just things to do.

If you like analogies, totalitarian governments ban all sorts of things that check their power like guns and books, but overcoming them still has happened historically in part by people finding ways to disobey those things without getting caught (and often with fatal consequences when they are caught)
You're right, in practice you're going to have some impure functions. Maybe you pissed the section titled "Functional programming in practice".
Seems nice and I will give it a try!

Now a question: there is some obvious reason for using AGPL for a desktop GUI application (not a web app, a server, etc.)? AGPL would be my license to go in the later cases, so it would protect the project from being SaaSSed, but I could not find an advantage for graphical desktop apps yet.
Great news! I wonder how much of this COVID research is going to go towards reducing the impact of other common cold virus variants.

Yes, abortion is murder and a new human being is formed at conception. It's just convenient to call it something else not to appear monsters.

If a girl were adopted in China she would still show up in this dataset. I haven't heard about foreign adoption being popular in China (like it would be in eg. Africa), so the unbalance is likely to be the result of aborting/killing baby girls.
Intel says Windows is better than Mac for gaming, to no-one's surprise
Regardless of how you want to measure this my point was not about anyone in particular but the general sentiment I see from people who are not experiencing a wide variety of the problems crypto could possibly help ameliorate if things were different for them, be it their economic status, the government they live under, or the cultural norms they live within.

I'm not sure, going to a more monopolistic world still seems bad to me, even if I like and trust this particular player a little bit less than the others.
Meh. I lived in Marin County for 12 years, and visited Bolinas several times. The descriptions of people and the 'culture' in the TFA are really good -- but overall IMHO is a grand romanticizing of the place. It's a genuine "hippie town" that epitomizes a California of another time, for sure. Its sewage issues are real, and represent so much of the overall absurdity of the place. All that, and and the overarching hostility of its residents towards outsiders made them seem to me, ultimately, as being people not above it all, but more washed-out. Lots of hypocrisy there.
It was KaiOS actually, that is based on FirefoxOS.

Unfortunately they went so hard on dumbphone specs that it ran poorly, kept crashing all the time because it kept running out of ram. (it had 256mb of RAM I believe, or 128, don't remember, one of the two).
I've never met anyone in Sweden burning anything that isn't wood to heat things in their home (except the district heating, which burns our sorted trash) in a central location. And the people burning wood usually only do it during the winter months when it's really chilly outside, else it's heat pumps or electric.

I used to write computer programs on the toilet when I was in primary school, using an old thinkpad my dad got for cheap when his work upgraded to newer models, and a $5 copy of vba5 from a garage sale. My pride and joy was a reader I built for my downloaded webcomics collection, which I coloured lime green in a rebellion against all known UX principles. At some point someone gave me $10 for making a bootable cdrom that opened a webpage, back when computers executed arbitrary code when you inserted external media, but until university that was the full extent of my income.

I got into this line of work because it's fun. It's still fun. If I didn't get paid I'd do it for free, although "it" would be lime green hobby projects rather than the productive and tasteful work people employ me to do.

No, but they did say, "let's take a fixed fraction of total charges" rather then "let's take a fixed fraction of the amount after paying third parties", not realizing the former could be more than the driver's share.

This is more or less what modern zoos do. They fund the conservation efforts using income generated from sales at the park. At the one here, the majority of animals aren't on display. They're maintained in the back areas for breeding, study, and conservation. There's breeding populations of native plants and beetles from the region as well as threatened species from around the world.
This is absolute bogus. Here's [1] data from 2019. With about 3500 Euros net income (works out to about 75k before tax if you're single) You're in the top 10% _of all households_. With two times that (so two e.g. a household of two people earning 80k) you'd be in the top 1%.

Maybe, but this will be very, very, very hard. I'd love to be able to make a paid-front app rather than freemium, but the current habits make that impossible unless you are an established brand or have a huge marketing budget.
Sorry -- I got it wrong. That "~30k" includes undergraduates and postgraduate students; it should also have been "~24k". The actual numbers are Undergraduates: 12k; Postgraduates: ~12k. Also, bear in mind that it is a very international university: International students make up 43% of Oxford students; 64% of all graduate students are from outside the UK, as are 20% of all undergraduates. So, think of the pool as being a lot larger.
the world summary of the policy is not the whole truth. you could always have more than one child, but there's a tax. so you get one child for "free" and the others you have to pay a tax. there are countless families with multiple siblings of all generations, even in cities.

I see very naive young people from then West coming to China with weird expectations.

Such people shout "There is no Democracy in America!," and then decide to run to China for god knows what reason.

Coming to China for purpose other than to make quick cash, and run will leave you very disappointed.

China is really what it is.
Just because one was barred from university or wealth doesn’t mean that the political entrenchment was eliminated. If I was a wealthy family that rubbed elbows with other wealthy families, such that all my family friends were from wealthy families, any success I gather would also have me nepotize my family friends into whatever companies I make and whatever government success I achieve.
Because some company with a successful app can build a real time population census for a foreign government.
You know China is not a democracy right? There’s only one organization in China with any real power and they’re the ones building the dams.

The environment collapsing so that it can’t support people is a pretty drastic leap from running certain fish into extinction.
I'm thinking of Crystal, Nim, Zig, Odin and (ignoring that the topic at hand is avoiding Google having unnecessary control over things) Go. I'm aware they may not share Rust's exact feature set; Crystal is the only one I've used, including Rust itself. That comment was intended to illustrate that this is a field where attempts are made regularly and manage to achieve some measure of success, relative to browser rendering engines where I am only aware of a single (proprietary, incomplete) attempt in recent years: Flow.
I recommend good noise-cancelling headphones (Sony makes excellent ones). Or just earplugs.
I think the ML bubble will become increasingly more realistic, and those that can turn ML into scalable, performant, and maintainable solutions will “win”. Additionally those that focus more on the training data being learned from and it’s quality over the model and how the full product fits together will win...

I think another frontier is knowing how to manage and build organizations that understand data and ML. In the same way software caused traditional engineering orgs to rethink processes, eventually data expertise will infiltrate management. The processes we use to deliver working, well performing data-based solutions will change and cause traditional software orgs to rethink how they deliver work. These processes will be more about running frequent, repeatable experiments and less about iterative feature dev.

So, to sum up:

- ML engineering

- Data scientists that can deliver working code

- managers with data expertise

And I’d emphasize less:

- research, “fancier model” oriented ML and data science

Other random bets:

- office space for remote workers that just want a quiet, private place to work. Boring class A office space converted into single offices rented individually.

- home tech support for remote workers to improve reliability, etc of tech and network experience.
In uBlock Origin I've seen a few domains with the word `cookie` in them and after investigating them, they are serving Javascript that by virtue of being a third party, are scooping up personal data, not protecting it. Of course I blocked these in uBlock manually, but it breaks the site since the banner overlaps the content and I can't read my article, so I have to manually remove the offending HTML element using uBlock. Such a ridiculous farce.
It could be running KaiOS which is the 3rd most popular mobile phone OS, but not quite as functional as Android or iOS.

I heard that Android strips the exif location data from images when opening them in other apps, but looking at the documentation, it might just be in the case that you use the camera intent.

I am assuming the file browsing permission bypasses any exif stripping - which maybe is why so many apps ask for it it...

In Germany and Scandinavia maybe. In France, Spain, Italy, etc, this is normal.

For example here [1] you can see some reliable statistics for France, see page 2 (it's in French but the plots are easy to understand). The median salary (annual before taxes) when starting is 35k€, and roughly increases by 1800€/year. So it only reaches 40k€ after 3 years. It reaches 50k€ after 8 years only.

Also all engineers have Masters in continental Europe. You can't be an engineer without one. It's nothing special.

Moving the goalposts. It certainly is not "killing female infants."
The $500K developer trope is getting out of control. The truth is that there are a small number of companies in a small number of locations paying those high salaries to a small number of highly talented developers. Once you enter that bubble it can feel like everyone around you is earning the same amount and therefore you can’t understand why everyone else in the US isn’t doing the exact same thing.

In reality, the number of developers making $500K is relatively small. Even in California, the median developer compensation is a fraction of that. FAANG companies can have admission rates that are more selective than Ivy League universities, and they don’t even hire in most cities in the US.

This causes a lot of compensation confusion and anxiety for young people who grow up reading HN comments and snarky Reddit posts when their first job offers don’t come anywhere near the $300K to $500K range that they read about online. It also causes a lot of grief for developers who think they’re overworked and underpaid because it seems like everyone on HN casually acts like $500K is the going rate for being able to spin up a React project.
I feel bad that my first thought is because it's easier for the cops to fill their ticket quota with stop signs in stupid places people would probably ignore.
My work laptop is a dell 7420, my personal one is a dell xps 13. I can't come up with one thing that's better in the latitude laptop. Maybe it has a usb port? But that's irrelevant while docking and on the go, everything is either bluetooth or usb-c these days.
That's a very nice compliment. Thanks!

55 million USD in annual salary expenses seems a bit high, even more so for a non-profit. I have seen startup unicorns spend less on salaries. I think there really needs to be some scrutiny into how funding is being spent.

Looking at the list of execs there I really have to question what role they play and how their compensation is justified. It's not just their individual salary either. At their level they have entire organizational hierarchies working under them and the collective salaries can add up. What precisely are they contributing to the movement?

I can't imagine the kind of things Wikipedia needs to do that needs such roles. These guys should be focusing on product and tech primarily. They have a solid product which hasn't changed in years and a strong brand. They have a singularly unique and special thing in this world and need to protect it as sacred. They need to focus on maintaining and scaling this system for eternity instead of experimenting and branching offshoots into community engagement, strategic partnerships, ambassadoring and all that crap.
There is, to my mind, a significant difference between a blog post from the lang team and a blog post from Ferrous systems which thanks the lang team for their feedback.
I like how y'all are arguing over what a vague term actually means. "Sky high" isn't actually anything specific and it's rather relative. Reading through the thread, almost everyone has their own definition for 'sky high'.

This is the only reply worth reading. Even then, abortion is not infanticide.
> Smoking is extremely hard to kick, with some first handers claiming that its worse than heroin. People rarely prostitute themselves (or others) for tobacco though.

I suspect if we continue on the path of criminalizing tobacco use, this could change... That isn't a difference between the two drugs chemically, I think, but between their social contexts (specifically criminalization/expense).
List of CVEs filed against Rust crates
GraphQL is a fine-grained resource protocol, and REST is a large-grained resource protocol. You don't want to serve thousands of 50 byte responses in REST just to get what you need when your app opens, this is why GraphQL allows you to specify this in one response by selecting what you want in the query.

Can you implement this over REST? You can pretend you can, but if you put all those parameters in the URL and have countless ways of fetching the same data via infinite resource URLs, you're essentially bastardizing the concept of one URL one resource, or the idea that your entities each has its own URL, rather than inlining them in countless ways through one-off aggregate resources.

TLDR; REST really doesn't do what GraphQL does. And when you try to make REST do what GraphQL does, it ceases to be REST.
"withholds" seem very misleading here. The article says they did not get the clearance for the new route which is something very different.

My bad. Said rubbish. Apparently my understanding of this word is different from the common.

>One doesn't need to always make rational decisions in order to be entitled to make them.

Agreed. But regarding the “master” comment, I think that’s a bit hyperbolic. You give up certain decisions as part of the social contract. I can’t decide, for example, that I want to drive on the other side of the road. Giving up that choice also doesn’t make me subservient, especially in a representative democracy. It just means I know how to balance the rights of the individual with the overall welfare of society.
Abortion is not the same thing as killing infants. The racism that's tolerated on this site is very telling.

The distinction you're applying seem to be arbitrary. What makes Chinese efforts nascent but American efforts (where species also continue to go extinct) developed?

Most efforts to preserve animals come after the damage is done. That's why we maintain an endangered species list.

I'm not going to argue that China is as committed to, or as successful at, the goal as say the US is, but "not as good" is very different from claiming they fundamentally lack something the West possesses.
I live in the EU, but not in one of the countries from your first two paragraphs.

So, I really wonder about those "interesting experiences" with people tracked and analyzed and how being tracked gives me a power imbalance with large companies?!

All I got from being tracked so far was repetitive ads for the same stuff I just purchased on Amazon. Dumb.
> 3R's was a campaign manufactured by the plastics industry

I do not believe this is true. The 3R's is widely believed to have come out of the first Earth Day in 1970.

While the oil and plastics companies did put a lot of effort into promoting the idea of plastic recycling, those efforts were later and didn't really start until 1989.
I used to play console games a lot, but when I got laid off from a job I pawned my Xbox. Haven't regretted it even for a minute, and I sleep more...

PC games are tough because I built my PC for everything - VR, mining, development, etc. It can run just about any game, and I have hundreds in my Steam library. The tough part is that I see it as a valuable asset for other things - makes it hard for me to want to sell it, but if I were to get rid of it I doubt I'd miss gaming much. I've found that unplugging it and putting all the components in a closet makes it not worth the effort to play a game. I only break it out for projects.

I used to play phone games a lot on while commuting in NYC. Since I moved away and don't have that commute time, I uninstalled them all. That quick satisfaction I'd get from dumb games like candy crush or whatever, is no longer alluring. The "wins" are unfulfilling, and the ads and annoying upselling are enough of a deterrence to keep me from installing any games.

My only advice is to remove your access to them, or make it not worth your time to access them. You'll quickly find other ways to fill your time.

Just about every gaming experience I've had is feels like an unfulfilling time sink, but until you feel this way, it will be a tough temptation to break.
Rural families- especially farmers and ethnic minorities- have had exceptions to the one child policy for quite a while now.

The reluctance to lift limits is perhaps better owing to the fact that means yielding a bit of control, and not wanting to appear to have been wrong (why today and not yesterday?).

That said, you don't see much outrage in other countries (despite stories of infants being thrown out, forced abortions, forced sterilizations) because we have short attention spans and no real hope of forcing the government's hand.

Look at all of the accusations, allegations and witness over the treatment of uighurs. Or, look at the middle eastern countries where women couldnt vote, drive, or even travel out of the county without their husband's permission. Even of we had pushed harder for faster reforms, we would have faced internal criticism for a "colonial" attitude.
