> So far as reasonably possible, I consider its only real purpose to confuse students in 101 courses.

I had a "high school" level programming class with Python before studying CS. I ran into CPython's recursion limit often and wondered why one would use recursion when for loops were a more reliable solution.

Nowadays, my "recursion" is for-looping over an object's children and calling some function on each child object.

> the police have managed to turn these laws around and still use them to terrorize sex workers

The OP isn't describing sex workers being "terrorized," it's describing people not wanting to associate with them because of the legal peril of supporting prostitution.

> which defeats the purpose as it risks pushing these women underground again.

I don't see any incentive for these women to go "underground" because they are in no legal peril themselves. The simple solution the ostracism is to stop being a prostitute and get a different job, which is probably what the law was intended to encourage.

> It's a tough problem...

The kind of strict-enforcement situation the OP describes actually seems like a tidy to solution to the problem of prohibiting prostitution without crating a trap for women in a trafficking situation. The key seems to be a broad interpretation of what "profiting from prostitution" is, so landlords, hotels, boyfriends, etc. won't want to take the risk. That replaces the legal pressure to get prostitutes to stop with social pressure.

Kill it. Even assuming we are limiting ourselves to long distance trips (that is commuting to work is still allowed to use tracks during the day), and hand wave away some tricky where to draw the line issues.

Trains work best when the track is used. That means trains need to leave often to keep the track busy. Leave at 9pm, and arrive at 7am sounds great, but you don't get anyone leaving at 2am, which means there isn't enough users to pay for all the infrastructure needed.

Day trains work because some people leave at 8am, some noon, some 6pm... You need enough riders to fill to 70% capacity 3 trains per hour for 13 hours a day just to break even on all the costs of running a train for a reasonable price. (the numbers are approximate and depend strongly on local details). The more often you can run nearly full trains the better. Your night trains can't do this.
And in fact the battery method has been proven to work to solve Australia's power issue (thanks Elon!).
Part of the expense can be discounted against sleeping accommodations you would need otherwise though, and for many of us another part of the price is simply investing in something that is desirable for a variety of reasons (ecology being a prominent one).

> I think 321 most closely matches the political climate in America. People tend to like a candidate, hate them, or "eh, they're fine."

I couldn't disagree more. I voted in yesterday's NYC Democratic mayoral primary (13 candidates on the ballot), and there were three candidates I considered "like", but with a very strong preference for the first over the second, as well as the second over the third. In today's political climate, people tend to be very passionate about their #1 choice, even if there are 3 they "like". That passion matters.

>Google Analytics is free, although it is not. Google Analytics makes money off the personal data they collect from their customers.

This isn't strictly true though. Google Analytics has a free and a paid tier with GA360, which is for larger businesses.

More to the point, half of these aren't suitable for marketing decisions when you have multiple paid entrypoints to your site. The major, but simple, ones for marketing;

* Channel Groups - being able to merge multiple UTM tags or referrers into a single channel for comparison

* User Retention - even privacy first, it's important that you can track user activity onsite via a logged-in user ID.

* Bot Removal & IP removal - Excluding an office from the GA stats is important to track actual users compared to your colleagues checking in on details.

* Channel comparison for conversion rate - i.e. Google Ads vs FB Ads.

Fathom seems like the top one from this, but it still doesn't have any of these features. It has self removal via the console, but that's not quite the same. The dashboard Pirsch shows doesn't show any of these features, and most of them seem to have filters, but no general comparison windows. Same for Umami.

This is indeed just idiotic. I mean it is good to have it if life doesn't go as planned, but for everyone else this is probably a bad decision. If you do it for your life style, chances are there aren't people wanting to have kids with you anyway.

Don't know, but it is probably also quite expensive.
What ticketing sites do you guys use? Whenever I want to try (night) trains around Europe I run into a myriad of national websites with poor information on non-national trips, a lack of decent information on what to expect, annoying pricing/planning/booking UIs, and generally lack of information about how it 'works', as in some require you to have an App, a card, to print out tickets etc.

I often just give up.

In that sense, flying somehow feels like a much more standardised and straightforward experience, despite a ton of different ticketing websites, airlines and airports which all have their own apps and gates and conditions etc, too.
> Prostitutes are paid a lot

That's not a fair generalization. Most sex workers remain in poverty, and it's extremely risky work -- for all that men's rights activists like to talk about men having the most dangerous jobs, their statistics are drawn from a perspective that sex work isn't a "job" -- so the actual #1 most dangerous job, mostly done by women, is overlooked.

Even in places like Canada were the work is decriminilized and clients are criminalized, sex workers rarely go to the police after being attacked or raped because the common response is that the worker "asked for it." Sex workers are freelancers: they don't get insurance or other benefits, so they need to charge a higher rate up-front.

Rather than limit the amount that sex workers get paid, it would be better to legalize it and treat it like any other job. Forced labor (pimps and sex trafficking) is already illegal; those laws just need enforcement, which will be easier with the transparency of legal employment. Also, individual workers and brothels can get insurance, medical and otherwise, hire security, etc. to improve the safety of workers.

Let the free market sort out the price.
I remember watching commercials for the PS1 at the time, as a member of their target audience, and I was generally underwhelmed. Even at the time, 10fps footage on TV didn't impress me and didn't compel me to want to buy one. In my opinion, it really didn't have enough power to be a 3D system. Excellent 2D system, though.

The first system that I feel like had enough power to be a 3D system without being completely terrible was the Dreamcast. It had enough power that you could target 60fps and even if you missed it, get close enough, and have enough power to draw recognizable environments and make things that could at least hide the fact they weren't made out of huge polygons, with a bit of artistry. It wasn't near obligatory to spend multiple refreshes' worth of time on a single frame to put up a competitive-looking frame. I played quite a few games on that and it was rare to see slideshows. All the 3D I've played prior to that still feels clunky to me, but playing the Dreamcast feels primitive, but workable.

It's worth revisiting some of your favourites in an emulator - these days PSX emulators can do perspective correct texturing to fix the jiggling and warping, which combined with internal upscaling makes games which were badly affected by those shimmering textures feel much more "solid".

I don't think those 25 combinations are enough to cover all the cases of unique vowel sounds, diphthongs, and pairs of distinct adjacent vowels that you find in English. 'ea' for instance is ambiguous between sounds like those in 'great', 'deal', and 'creatine'.
I empathize with the desire, but I don't think there's a good way to do that. Rental properties are investment vehicles, and their pricing is influenced by that risk. You can harm the landlords short-term, but rents are likely going to rise to compensate for that increase in risk.

On the other hand, it would make rental properties more risky without really impacting the risk to primary residences. It may decrease the price to outright buy properties if the market won't bear the increase in rent, making rental properties less profitable.

Also, there have been a lot of offers to the unfortunate. Stimulus checks were substantial, as were increases in unemployment benefits. The removal of a year and a half of rent payments is also a significant benefit. Removing a liability is almost as good as income.

> Given he authored the D programming language, he is absolutely aware of the benefits of managing memory allocation, runtime checks for boundary overruns, etc etc...

No doubt about that, but the proposal still does not address these issues while claiming it's an easy fix.

> It turns out when developing a kernel extremely fine, granular control, over memory is very important. And there are a lot of complexities that fall between the cracks of various architectures where a compiler and language having an extremely long track-record of behavior is helpful

I do not mean that the fine-grained control over memory is useless for developing a entire kernel, I mean that a large part of a kernel is made of logic that does not need this fine-grained control.

My point is that using unsafe fine-grained control over memory everywhere is risky, while we could keep fine-grained control over memory languages only where it's required.

The same way art is legal and the most popular form of laundering money.

> changing large amounts of money obtained from crimes, such as drug trafficking, into origination from a legitimate source

By definition, money laundering involves using a legal source for converting black money into white money.

I do however agree, that the pre-established ways of laundering money are easier than the sex work industry could ever be. I didn't mean to mention these 3 things are the main aftershocks. They were just a few that came to mind. IMO, normalizing sex work, which is very different from legalizing prostitution) will have unforeseen effects (for better or for worse) on the very fundamental foundations of how our societies work.
#4 and #6 in particular sound targeted at the sex worker more than an attempt at preventing pimping/slavery.
Depends on the route -- eurostar from London to Paris/Brussels knocked a lot of flights out. Vey few would choose to drive from Manchester to London when the cheap train (£45 return no time restrictions) is quicker and the fast train is half the time of driving, but people do fly because west london to west manchester is quicker than schelpping to Euston and out from Picadilly - at least until HS2 drops it to under an hour and connects with crossrail.

In my experience pandoc is not better than TeXmacs in converting LaTeX. The problem, as vdhoeven stressed, is that LaTeX is not a document format which can be converted reliably in something else. Usually I just convert to LaTeX the last version of the document, e.g. before submitting to journal. In this way I always dispose of some alternative storage formats: TeXmacs, PDF, LaTeX and sometimes HTML if needed. The LaTeX produced by TeXmacs uses few packages, which also means that it can be easily maintained.

While true for the US, this is Sweden. Swedes don't expect men to pay for dates, don't expect men to be the primary breadwinner, and there is no such thing as marriage annulment, while divorces can be without fault.

https://everythingsweden.com/dating-in-sweden/ - "Coming from the UK, it’s very common that if you take someone to a restaurant, the guy pays for the meal. If the opportunity is there then great, but don’t be offended if your date demands to split the bill 50/50. Sweden is very serious about being gender neutral and this is a good example."

https://www.government.se/4a7738/contentassets/efcc5a15ef154... - "Women and men must have the same opportunities for economic independence. In Sweden, some of the most important reforms concerning gender equality took place in the labour market and in social policy in the 1970s. These reforms pushed gender equality and increased women’s prospects to have the same opportunities as men to enter the labour market, and to remain and develop there." including "Separate income taxation for wife and husband", "Development of public child care", and "First country to introduce gender-neutral paid parental leave benefit".

And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce_law_in_Sweden#Grounds_... - "One critical feature that marks Swedish divorce laws is the complete absence of any fault requirement when establishing a case for divorce. Fault is entirely irrelevant and has no legal consequences on the results of the proceedings ... under the Swedish laws, there is no preliminary requirement of a separation period before a divorce case can be established."

And https://e-justice.europa.eu/content_divorce-45-se-maximizeMS... - "There are no rules governing marriage annulment in Swedish law."

> It only seems useful if you're Paris based, since this appears to be the center node of the network

That’s France’s rail network in a nutshell. It’s great, if your trip starts or ends in Paris. If you’re not, you might still go through Paris and driving could be faster than a high-speed train.

The other issue with domestic sleeper networks in France, other than sounding like a terrorist, is that high speed trains usually take 3-4h anyway.

I think the only takers for an overnight equivalent would be tourists that can save a night of stay somewhere. And that’s if you’re not staying with family or friends.

And the trains are almost all electric, so it’s harder to make an argument for “slower, therefore less carbon burn”.
The entire "eliminates choice" argument here is "some people want to choose a platform where you can't sideload apps, and if you make us support it that choice is unavailable". Ugh.

I wish businesses would start considering the corrosive effect this kind of "war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is peace" newspeak has on society. Hearing corporate spokesperson after corporate spokesperson (or their toadies in the press) parrot this kind of junk generates untold cynicism. How are we supposed to believe corporations are an important part of a just human society when they have whole departments scheming on how to bamboozle us with this kind of brainwashing? And what does it do to the people who start out earnestly believing in a company's mission, who start internalizing that they need to say whatever they have to to protect the company?

It would be way more straightforward to say "we have a lot of non-technical users [referred to as 'your 15-year-old nephew or 75-year-old father' in the article] and they're at risk from exploits via sideloaded apps".

Or I mean, it's probably even more straightforward to say "we make lots of money on the App Store; why would we enable competitors when we don't have to?"

People are just so tired of everything coming down to "freedom" and "fairness"; this stuff has just lost all meaning. Let's take this seriously and start working against it.
