This is brilliant.

While there has unquestionably been some hype about objects over the years, I have too much respect for the many brilliant developers I have met in industry to believe they have been hoodwinked, for decades now, by a fad. The question therefore arises: might there be genuine advantages of object-oriented programming that could explain its success?

A big factor is that programmers tend to be idealists. They want code that's the absolute best. {code: goodness(code)=max}. OO is a way to take pretty terrible code and go from goodness(code)=X to X+1. But it doesn't guarantee getting further. It might even make harder to go to the next iteration. That's a terrible thing for any idealist but absolutely crucial in practice. Most code is "terrible" and most code embeds a lot of institutional knowledge that prevents it from being tossed away (see the tendency for disaster from "the big rewrite").

I would contrast this with the paradigm that's been "up and coming" for decades now - functional programming. FP aims to "start at the best and stay there". The problem is that even if we assume FP can do that, it's not aiming to solve the "increment the goodness" problem, which is what a lot of ordinary programming at ordinary companies has to involve.
That's definitely pretty cool, and I really wish that European's funding had a track record anywhere close to DARPA (though I don't really complain, Europe funding isn't too bad)

Does someone have information about the size of Moderna back then? TFA says they had 144 patents, so I guess they were already pretty big?
It's skilled software architecture. Some layerings of the problem into decomposable pieces allow for less communications and some layerings of the problem require more communication. The emergent but desirable property of more parallelizable is dependent on details that are small and subtle. Project management cannot possible guarantee this. The outcome of the architecture, how much do people need to communicate, is an input to the project management.
Multiple selections as a language primitive feels like a language smell. Why use languages with that much redundancy in their syntax?
So why are we paying 10 times the production price since this product has been payed by public funds ?
That not a great solution. My working data set is likely larger than 192MB. But my application is much more likely to know what data is in the hot path than the CPU is to guess it. I might want to put my DB index into this cache, or I might want to put only a part of it. I might want to preload the data then work on it for a bit, then load the next chunk. I might want one core preparing the data in RAM while another core is getting ready to work on it in this cache. Essentially I want full access to it independent of the main RAM because I can do a lot more with that. Think of this as the difference between RAM and disk: is RAM only useful as a cache to what’s on disk?
OBS Studio 27.0
I think it's fair.

I can understand your point, but I think the response of writing a blog post is an example of continued transactionality.

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm aiming to be honest.
This is similar to my experience. I enjoy the state of being drunk so I would get drunk for its own sake, not to make work bearable or something; I could never focus whenever work had an in-office happy hour and went back to work. I actually also quit caffeine for similar reasons; I loved coffee but got distracted whenever I wasn't drinking coffee because I was just looking forward to having more.

Anti-vaxx industry ‘could be worth more than $1bn to social media giants’
That's it. I am unplugging all amazon devices now.
I'm not saying it's justified. It's not. But low likelihood of opting in would be a reason why they'd make it out out. See, for example, UMN vs Linux.
I'd love for it to be so, but I don't see any mechanism for it to work that way.
lol, not really. You're thinking too literally, as we programmers often do. In this case, that's not how the law works.
Putting them in jail prevents them from doing things that the taxpayers don't like: building fires under overpasses, leaving needles and human waste in the streets, harassing passersby, etc. It also puts them in contact with social services, in some cases.

It's not a perfect solution, or even a good one. We can and should develop a more compassionate alternative.
> I'm guessing 4G and the like have been able to penetrate areas fairly quickly, but I've not looked at global data on this topic for a very long time.

Just having 4G available doesn't mean much if the cells are congested, the networks have poor backhaul capacity, or just in a bad radio environment. There can also be a lot of jitter in latency even if there's decent bandwidth. A bunch of scripts can load fine but then grabbing that one necessary resource hangs and the whole page hangs.

There's so many stupid interactivity blockers with big JavaScript pages that are made worse by poor network connectivity. Stuff like infinite scroll or blocking page visibility until an ad is visible breaks in jarring ways.

High average speed is nice but cellular connectivity has issues in good conditions and a lot of unpredictability. Huge numbers of web users are on cellular data only (or shit public WiFi). I find too many websites ignore these users with fragile designs because of a preponderance of "works on my machine".
same. bought stuff that i didnt know exist. sort of like a powerful ai is there to make my life better.

semi related, with lower fidelity data a lot
of niche products wont be made since their wont be effective ways to get the word out.
It's because none of it is secured, and the US has a shit load of infrastructure that all has its own independent systems. Even a tiny percent being hacked per lifetime will be constant hacks in the news.

If this is NOT taken down by local authorities, I will surprised, but also I will be confused why it is being allowed now, after decades of having this problem. This is the most straight forward way to solve the problem, by allowing people to settle in big open spaces that would be empty otherwise, and just offering basic, cheap shelter. Oakland had this problem for decades and NOW they allow this? The lack of problem solving skills by the government there is incredible.

Related anecdote: A few years ago, my father bought a android tablet to my grand parents (both 85+). After watching them use it for a few minutes, I realized how user hostile the technical world has become: tons of ads popping up and asking for your attention (“click me”, “download x”, “make your device run faster”, etc).

This and apps “redesigned” every few month, breaking the workflow they've struggled to learn (they usually needed to follow the hand-written note, they had taken when I showed them how to do).

They've used it a bit more than a year, with occasional breakage, and they now have stopped completely.

As others have mentioned, there's the FAA. There's also an important Supreme Court case upholding the validity of arbitration agreements, AT&T v. Concepcion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility_LLC_v._Concepc...

But generally, the reason that arbitration agreements are allowed is because of 'freedom to contract'. That is, people are free to agree to do almost anything in contracts. The reason this might not be allowed would be because the contracts are often 'contracts of adhesion' (drafted by one party and not able to be negotiated). But the Concepcion case knocked that down as a possible rationale, if memory serves. That case was about AT&T contracts with customers, which are obviously not negotiable.
> To state the obvious, improving your situation so you don't want to escape reality would be preferable. But that takes a hell of a lot more time, motivation, resources, and effort than just cracking open that next beer.

I would argue this isn't universally true. As I shared in another comment, I recently took a month-long break from drinking. For me it hasn't been difficult, but it's made life seem to explode with excitement and energy, just from taking alcohol out of my life. I think many people would benefit more than they expect just by cutting out alcohol for a month or even just a week.
I'm more worried about this amazon mesh network being used for access by other internet devices.

For example, it's not easy to get a dumb TV. If I had one I wouldn't want it online. It appears that Amazon would sell access to the TV manufacturer so that it could spy on me via my neighbours Amazon Sidewalk device.

To me this is new threat vector. I don't take kindly to corporations spying on me.
The surveys you're describing is the inferring. The ads are still based entirely on context, so the article is correct.

The inferring is still just statistical aggregation. Readers of the Economist may be on average wealthier, but a poor college student may still be reading it and seeing the ads for expensive watches. Even if they personally filled out a survey. Which is why the inferring is often wrong.

In contrast, actually search for watches today, and get watch ads for the next 3 months on every site you visit...

Thank you. That was helpful.
It is for sure a challenge, especially where people work across multiple teams and each team has a different 'standard' office day. That unfortunate individual is now compelled to come into the office multiple days.

And folks that work across teams like that are often gluing the organisation together in subtle but vital ways, so anything dis-incentivising it is a dark pattern.
Off topic but reminds me, I wonder if copyright assignment or trademark assignment (if it applies) would have helped freenode. In the sense of helping it stay as it was, a friendly place for users and project maintainers.
This project sounds awesome. I hope you will find some time later to post it on the web. So much legendary information is stuck in Facebook, and difficult to find, or just lost forever.

This doesn't change anything for anybody except the copyright holder (who, if you've signed a copyright assignment statement, is not you). They're allowing contributors to maintain copyright over code submitted to GNU projects, and if you want to assign copyright to the FSF, you still can. The COS (a form of CLA) still grants the FSF the right to redistribute the code under GPLv3, so it doesn't affect users, either. I don't really know what a public consultation would have done here.
> There is very little evidence that the vaccines do not affect the ability to have kids.

That's fine, my last word is simple - you're not assuming the null hypothesis with this. You're creating a list of bad things, for which you have no evidence, and assuming they could be true. In that case it could also very well be the case that somehow it causes benefits in fertility or some other effects. And it seems foolish to worry about the unobserved effects of the vaccine, especially given the huge sample size we currently have, and especially when there is currently research being done, based upon actual observations and not just unfounded conjecture, that COVID may be able to affect fertility.
This may help contributors, but makes difficult to change the license in the future. I guess this the main reason why FSF requires copyright assignment to them. Now that this is no longer needed, I really hope that the world will not need anything newer than GPLv3.
Iceberg Charts are an information format in which the most well-known/popular information is placed in the top tier, and each level down ever less known and finally obscure information is placed that only subject matter experts are aware of.

This makes it an interesting structure to explore and learn more about topics one isn't too familiar with.

This work was inspired by suricrasia's "Cursed Computer Iceberg": https://suricrasia.online/iceberg/

Traditionally, icebergs are only presented in an image format, like in https://www.reddit.com/r/IcebergCharts/, but I wanted a site that made it possible to optionally add links and descriptions too
Burntsushi: “I guess that's my cue to leave. So long, Lobsters"
It is not a myth, but well known. Startups take something that is already researched, and further develop it and commercialize/monetize it.

I think the myth might be more in the layman/general population, but most people in the tech world know this.
>>Is the city going to build a swimming pool and a set of tennis courts that can be walked to in every neighborhood or are they going to build one or two large ones in a central location that almost everyone will need to drive to? Also not everyone wants a pool and tennis courts so they can choose a neighborhood without them.

This is one of the reasons I always prefer no HOA's and when possible in Unincorporated land as I want none of those things to be provided by the city.

years ago when i was looking for an apartment I remember the leasing agents showing how they had a pool, or community center, or gym, etc etc etc. My response was always "will you discount the rent if I agree to never use any of these things I have no interest in" Of course the answer was always no, so I found an apartment that has no pool, no gym, no anything just the apartment, there was not even a Rental Office on the property. It was quite, and about 20-30% cheaper than the "full featured" units with all the amenities I would never use nor have the time to use.
Yeah that's nowhere near the same as what I'm talking about.
1, I use Pomodoro within a paid app. It works quite well. It has graphs and other analysis. I don't need Pomodoro in tasks that are overly exciting for me.

2, Todos have no value in my life unless I block a chunk of time for tasks explicitly. I block some time for one task and I do only that thing at that time.

3, No social media outside of a 30 minute window per day. Not even when waiting in a queue, or Pomodoro rest gaps.

4, No-email/Slack blocks of 2 hours each. 30 minutes in special cases.

5, I plan my day the night before.

6, Habit-tracking. I plan to a handful of tasks everyday without fail like exercising, reading, and some work/study related stuff. I use a free app for this which does everything I want.

7, I keep a journal where I jot down my long-term, intermediate, and immediate goals. I like to think that it works.

I have tried a hundred things, and these work well.
more aptly: the ability of the state to pay its interest now and in the future.

the state is in a balance to avoid a death spiral of its currency: creating more because it purchases less due to market selloff of the currency.

the main point is that it is highly leveraged and tax collection is merely servicing a small single digit percentage of the capital, and therefore the further sliver from tax avoidance is having even tinier percentage of an effect on how what the budget is and could be. the state also has other revenue sources.
This usually comes up as a problem when you try running a large application from a compressed disk image.

Copy the application out of the disk image first. Verifying the application (and running it) will be much faster.
That sounds really cool. Do you happen to have a good link for this?
Surely that ship has sailed. There are 40 properties in Bolinas listed on the Marin transient occupancy tax registry, and there are listings on Airbnb that aren't in the registry, too. It's one of the big issues with Prop 13. Half of the houses in Bolinas are owned by Dead Boomer Perpetual Family Trust. The heirs don't want to live there so they just throw the house up on Airbnb. The community gets nothing.
NB: Some versions of the Oberon system were specified with a soft CPU called RISC5, which has nothing to do with the RISC-V ISA.
I got interested by the idea of a virtual machine for microcontrollers, but I'm less excited about having to use a new dedicated programming language, and the ESP32 being the only supported hardware.
