"State organized" social security IS a social network / safety net. Though it might not feel like one. I may be misreading this but your wording - "State organized" social security - sounds as if it's some kind of alien institution imposed on us by martians. I see it more like a system created by all of us through a social democratic process.
(assuming you're really asking) It's because JS has a notion of array elements being "empty", and the map operation skips empty elements. Basically "empty" means the element has never had a value assigned to it, but its index is less than the array's length property.

Array(4) // [empty × 4]
a=[]; a.length=4; a // [empty × 4]
Array(4).map(n => n) // [empty × 4]
[,,1,,].map(n => n) // [empty × 2, 1, empty]

My go-to way of avoiding this annoyance is "Array.from(Array(N))":

Array.from(Array(4)).map((n,i) => i) // [0, 1, 2, 3]

Alternately there's a recent "fill" method, that assigns all elements (including empty ones) to a given value:

Array(4).fill(1) // [1, 1, 1, 1]
Censuring is the shortest way to the bottom.
MyQ works well with their stuff but is horrible for integration.
Chamberlain deliberately changes the API every so often just to break folks. Sometimes it comes with a ridiculous excuse, sometimes not.
They are up to v6 or v7 now. It is really because they want the companies (Samsung, Crestron, Control4) to pay them as well.

Compare this with AladdinConnect that comes with the Genie lifts - they have broken people approximately zero times.
> What's your proposed solution? Cut everyones working hours, abolish social welfare, and make everyone poor so they need to rely on their extended family?

Hey, I'm just pointing things out that I see as a cause :) Although your proposal would help force reduce loneliness, would be a net negative for the quality of life.

The solution, or rather a set of solutions, would require a broader consensus, since it would affect the way we are as a society. At this point, I'm not even sure I have the solution on the society level.

Maybe the evolution of societies would fix it?

Maybe when the problem becomes worse, we would be pressed to fix it to some extent?

Or the societies that have better social approach would thrive and our western world will either accept the new ways and adapt, or go into the sad obsolescence.
I recently had an Android app removed from the Play Store for offensive content in the screenshots.

We're a music site/radio station, and the name of the song playing in the player was 'XXX'. That's all it was. It has been in the store like that for a few years.

Updating the screenshots got it listed again, but it was, as you say, totally bonkers.
Somatostatin Analogs Market Comprehensive Analysis
Brooklyn, New York, USA, 2021-June-21 — /Meridian Market Consultants/ — A recent report focusing on the development of the global market of waterproof coating has been added to the massive database of Market Research Hub (MRH) and titled “Somatostatin Analogs Market Comprehensive Analysis, Growth Forecast From 2021 To 2028”. The report delivers qualitative and quantitative summary information along with the market size and segmentation data, textual & graphical analysis of market growth trends during the forecast period of 2012 to 2028.

The global supplement packaging market in 2020 is estimated for more than US$ 24.0 Bn and expected to reach a value of US$ 34.0 Bn by 2028 with a significant CAGR of 4.5%.
That would make the global financial system dramatically less stable.
I agree. If native apis didn’t return nulls in some cases, and undefined was named “undef” at least, null could be ditched. But then again, it’s only because js has no bad habit of treating the same of non-existence and undefinedness^. If not json (which has no undefined), we could ditch null. But it’s there and with === it leads to either

object.someField === null || object.someFeild === undefined

madness, or to a potential error if a programmer thinks that null can not be there.

We could do an exception for null === undefined, but it’s against its spirit and will not be accepted.

^ languages that treat non-existent key as undefined are usually doomed to introduce Null atom in some form, or to work around that limitation constantly in metaprogramming
People have lost touch with the reason systems were put in place. It's no wonder there's so much enthusiasm for eradicating and privatizing them. Some people see profit and not enough people understand why it's a problem until it's too late.
I think an AI would have a garbage collection.
This is boilerplate that can be used to defend any idea. First of all, the article is trying to explain a domain for which OOP is not well-suited. Secondly, it’s unhelpful to write-off this article with “there are places for which OOP is well-suited” without any specifics about when it is the better approach, especially how it compares and contrasts with other approaches.

Hey Signal Great Encryption Needs Great Authentication
Since lockdowns, I hate everybody. I just broke up with the idea that we are a society. No, we’re just insane people who are eating at other people’s sanity, using lockdowns as a means to dismantle our fellow citizen.

How to become homeless when you start millionaire and CEO of a small/moderate company? Well this is the first and main step, because on any major problem, you are alone and no-one is going to testify in your favor. Especially if you genuinely wouldn’t mind if everyone went to hell for the hell they’re causing me.

Sure, my parents. But my parents are the ones who vote for locking up everyone and mandating social isolation. So their love stops at mandated lockdowns. Their love, and the same goes for 90% of my fellow citizen, their love and social fabric stops at giving you a hell if a time to deal with.

Same goes for feminism. Everyone likes feminism! Men commit suicide at 5x the rate? Not a problem! Men work themselves till death while women enjoy choice, choice of careerS, choice of being a mother while the husband provides, choice of sexualizing their body? Must be their sexism! Men have little choice and become insane? It’s their fault! Let’s clearly not provide resources to fight men’s workaholism!

I hate people. I really hate all my fellow citizen who cheer happily at the idea of stopping the economy, and lockdowns drove me practically insane. If they took my job away, I wouldn’t have passed the winter. And they were this close to taking our jobs away.

I’m trying to make good use of my money (buying a house, giving myself a chance) but I’m writing this so people understand the depth of the ordeal, especially for people who don’t have the extreme luxury that I have with having enough money for such a project (I’ve earnt every bit of it, but other people have worked just as much and didn’t meet success).
It's funny, I've been using Linux pretty much my entire adult life, and out of the issues you've pointed out, the only ones I've experienced have been with Windows; always reminds me to do a full wipe, not a dual boot.
You're completely missing the point. You won't see many non-Americans go to another country, then demand the bastardized versions of local dishes.

You seem to have a slight partisan political bent, but regardless, what do you want to do? Force people to be friends? The social safety net exists for the thousands (millions?) of people who don't have family or friends to take care of them. This isn't a problem that goes away by making people interact with each other.

COVID-19 isolation wasn't fearmongering, it was a necessary step for countries that didn't get tracing, testing, and masking up to appropriate levels at the beginning. It didn't help the isolation problem, but it also wasn't fearmongering.
Haha, how can you defend Microsoft like this.

Imagine McDonald's applying such dark UI patterns: maybe forget part of your order, put your change on the table under a napkin so you don't notice it, only offer you the free ice cream the 3rd time you ask, etc. People would be up in arms!

But Microsoft?! Well, they are the darling of the tech world now so it must only be a prank no?

No evil to see here, sir!
10% is far too much of his net worth for a pump-and-dump. A much more reasonable use case for holding ~1B worth of BTC for a man like RSP (Ricardo Salinas Pliego) is as insurance against having assets frozen or nationalized.

A man like him is sufficiently diversified in asset holdings that he doesn't really care about the fluctuations of any one (property, businesses, fx), but he very much cares about the government deciding to freeze his accounts.

It's an enormous irony (if a predictable one) that the biggest buyers of a "control your money!" story are not your wacky libertarians living in the forest, but the ultra, ultra rich, especially those who obtained their fortunes in marginal ways.
Fun fact, password for my Microsoft account sits in my password manager. If I can't log into my PC, I can't access that password.

And no, I am not going to remember that, or change it to something simpler. (Yes I know about entropy and correct horse battery staple!)
This is an uncelebrated (accidental) security feature. One of the most secure "burner" devices there are, is an iPhone or iPad with no iCloud configuration.

Good for semi-anonymous browsing for instance, also because fingerprinting of the browser looks the same as a bunch of other iOS devices.
That rule is simple to state, but damn near impossible to actually execute. I can't imagine the hoops you'd have to jump through to have a cell phone following this simple rule. I appreciate the push towards open source -- obviously a lot of good has come of it, but I'll happily take stickiness for convenience in many situations.

Not really sure what the Core part means but it looks like the SSO part is specific to it. You can just download the regular ISO for ARM/RPi...

Also Canonical/Ubuntu seems just have a particular bad track record of stuff like this. Most Linux distorts are better.
> Also, I hate to use my skin color and "immigrant" status to make this crucial point which a lot of my other immigrant friends agree on - some government run by a bunch of elite politicians who are immune to everything trying to save me against any criticism/jokes/offense from someone else makes it very patronizing and condescending. This is what we call "soft bigotry of low expectations" which the ones pushing for this lack self awareness to realize.

First of all, please don't paint everyone who supports a certain policy with a broad brush. I apparently have a relevant skin color and immigrant status (probably to a different country) in common with you, and yet I seem to disagree with you on the general approach. Obviously, I don't support politicians being immune to their own misdeeds, but that shouldn't have a bearing on this legislation.

> You don't think both of these will also fall under this and get censored?

Sure, I understand that this danger exists, but the social ostracizing in the second case seems out of the context of this law, as I understand it, and also (more importantly) out of the context of what I would consider hate speech. I think this can be handled on a case-by-case basis, especially as I see clear potential benefits of this policy. It's straightforward to find hypothetical issues with every policy including ones we support, but that doesn't in and of itself make a strong case against them.

> Everybody who was okay with AJ's censored 5 years ago is responsible for what happened to Tulsi Gabbard.

Are you referring to the Google/Tulsi Gabbard censorship incident? What does this have to do with a hate speech law?
I'm actually pretty fond of JavaScript, but here's a question that has caught me out in real code:

const
x = [1, 10, 2],
y = x.sort();

Now: what is the value of x? (Edit: and y?)
I find that compared to the the UX issues of Windows it is fantastic.

Obviously this varies from person to person but I have verified already a more than a decade ago that it worked very well with ordinary users as long as they didn't need MS Office or anything like it.

And true: Netflix doesn't work but for that I use my phone/tablet that I cast to my TV.

You may say: not everyone has a PC and a phone but as far as I can see the overwhelming majority who has a PC also seems to have a smartphone.
> NFTs will enable new interconnected markets that we haven’t even dreamed of yet.

How? My understanding of it is that it's a JSON document that points to a URL (which is just some webserver 99% of the time).

How does this allow anyone to do anything novel that couldn't be done with a centralised database and an API?
This is temporary until miners move their hardware elsewhere.

On topic: interesting read! I heard of daisy-chaining firewire before, but I didn't realize that they were secretly hubs, and that hubs are kind of like network switches (or -hubs), unlike usb "hubs".
nah the problem is the bovine masses have everything synced to their microsoft account now. they dont even really know how the file system works

just log in to your ms account on a new laptop and wait a few hours while everything syncs up via onedrive and its like every computer is your home computer
> the only unobvious or error-prone cases are those you never really do in programming.

You never do them on purpose. The problem is when you do them by accident because of a mistake in your code, and the error slips through unnoticed, doing the wrong thing.

> weak-typed comparisons like in perl

Perl has separate operators for working on strings vs numbers, so you are always explicit about performing a numerical vs string comparison etc. Not so for JavaScript.
I managed to build it and test it a little bit and damn, it's not just marketing to describe it as having an insanely fast start up time. It launched almost as quick as I can spawn new client windows from my Emacs daemon and scrolling and text editing seems to be buttery smooth as well.

However, I really don't like the fact that there is no way to navigate tabs using vim's commands.

I also find the VSCode similarities distracting and it seems to be causing confusion to would be investors of this due to the assumption it's some branch of it as opposed to a completely new editor.

Finally, is there a way to remove the system bar on the top in the configuration? I can toggle most elements of the UI but that system bar is visible even in zen mode and I never use it in any text editor with support for keyboard driven commands.
Password recovery seems like another big reason to push this. Many consumers don't really have any tech support, aside from vendors like Dell or HP. With an MS account, Microsoft can manage this process.
Wow I never realized the "goose" one is the knock off.
If I'm understanding, you're saying people will work for less than their value because there's either a capital or job supply isssue in their market, not because the cost or risk to an average person to just doing the work or starting their own business is so high that minimum wage is a more appealing proposition?

It sounds more like labor is being artificially broken to deter people from asking for the value of their labor over accepting wage work.

If Uber were a service to organize and empower workers by allowing them to set their own prices, how many do you think would continue working for less than minimum wage?
Is anyone actually using IPFS? Can't find any statistics.
>Maybe they value being independent more than minimum wage

Excuse me? In the middle of a National, potentially global housing affordability crisis, where this locale is ground zero for some of the worst wage-to-rent ratios on Earth...

How in the world is not making minimum wage anything approaching "independent"? The app is a less caring boss than any human could be. If you get run over by a car? There is nothing to stop the app from penalizing you for missing deliveries, not opting-in for enough deliveries, or taking too long to deliver burritos while we're being taken to the hospital.

Independence? Thats a life that only comes from living wages.
You can't model a complex biological system as a simple flow-balancing problem of a few substances that have no effect on one another.

It's possible to use the iCloud password instead of your local account password, but it's very opt-in and not at all suggested by default. Signing into iCloud doesn't replace anything about your local accounts besides that.
I've been using Windows on the desktop since 3.1. I dabble in linux on the desktop from time to time, and I use it on servers, but I've never made the switch.

I was recently spurred to action by two things.

1. The forced news widget in my taskbar.
2. Being forced to sign into a Microsoft Account to setup my father's laptop. The onscreen prompts promised me that I could disable the account later if I wished.

We all see what's coming here. We're experiencing different levels of it all over the place.

My work machine (as in, the device I use to make my living with and the only device I can't actively "play with") is now running Arch.

I'm out. You guys can do what you want, but there is zero chance this nonsense doesn't continue and get worse.
I’ll go out on a limb and posit that there are virtually no valid uses of (implementation) inheritance. Perhaps one valid use is getting rid of delegation boilerplate (e.g., normally you would compose one object inside another but you want the outer object methods to delegate to the inner object methods but you don’t want to have to write N function definitions that just call the same methods on the inner object so instead your outer object inherits from your inner object). This problem is better solved by something like Go’s struct embedding since it doesn’t do anything more than this kind of automatic delegation.

And if you get rid of inheritance, there is very little left to distinguish OOP from procedural programming like one would do in C or Go. And this is the semantic problem: no one really agrees on what OOP is and proponents will rebut any criticism with “that’s not true OOP”. Any definitions of OOP that aren’t easily assailable are also indistinguishable from other existing paradigms.

Downvoters: i’m very interested in your opinions about why I’m wrong and specifically when you think inheritance is appropriate. Everyone says “there’s a time and a place!” but no one articulates when/where beyond cat/dog/animal toy examples.

Do you mint your own hardware as well? The problem with hard rules is there's numerous exceptions when it doesnt make sense to follow, invalidating the "rule" all together.
What I object to is this "OOP is good / bad" type of approach.

OOP is neither good nor bad. What is good or bad is your selection of technique for the problem at hand.

That's the same misguided discussion as on whether strong typing is good or bad. It is neither. What you want to select depends on the kind of project you are trying to use it for.

Also, just because this template can be used for practically any idea doesn't make it less valid. Greatest laws tend to have universal applicability.
By "state organized" I wanted to emphasize that it's organized by the faceless institution. Lead by legislation and bureaucracy. As opposed to actual neighbours, co-workers, family and fellow union members with whom one has to collaborate (socially interact) to help to get help.
> It seems like extra weight and complexity for purely PR reasons.

And that's the thing that gets a public supportive of your space program and thus the resources keep flowing.

Drop the PR and you drop the funding.
null and undefined is one of the things Javascript actually got right imo. Undefined is what lets Javascript turn what other dynamic language would throw as a runtime error into a value. "I do not have a definition for the thing you want" and "the thing you want is known to be unknown" are two totally different concepts that languages with only null to lean on must collapse into a single concept.
Wayland is great, however it also makes screen recording more difficult.
App Store and iCloud accounts are separate.
"just work out of the box" is an overstatement.

I ran Manjaro for about half a year recently, including using it for gaming. Very few games actually worked out of the box for me, including games with so called "native" Linux support.

I ran into multiple games with "official" Linux support that were simply broken or became broken by an update. Some of those that weren't broken had significant performance issues (that Windows on the same machine didn't have).

Is it possible to game on Linux? Yes. But at the very least it requires fiddling. As much as I love Linux, gaming is just a lot easier on Windows.
> I can't imagine the hoops you'd have to jump through to have a cell phone following this simple rule.

It was hard, thankfully pine64 exists and it's no longer any more difficult than following on the desktop.
Cool!

I didn't go as far as implementing the CPU, but watching his vids inspired me to write a circuit emulator, also in python:

I used it to emulate all the various flip flops, but I was thinking of building a computer in it.
No problem.

I'm interested to hear though why you think unrestricted macros make the type system unsound. Can you explain? The code generated by macros would be type-checked in the scheme I described, and type-unsafe code can't be executed by the macro itself, so it seems safe to me.
Yeah, Ubuntu seems to be happily trudging down the path of evil, right behind Microsoft. They, of course, don't have the massive marketing budget or UX polish to match though, so it's not going to go nearly as well.

- Give Pop!_OS a try. It's main selling point is that it just works with modern hardware.

This wasn't meant to be valid code in any existing lisp, just lisp pseudo code. The behaviors you describe as bugs don't exist in all macro systems; for example, some macro systems automatically splice symbols from the context, some automatically prevent double-evaluation, and in purely functional languages double-evaluation doesn't matter anyway. I didn't want to get distracted by these irrelevant details from my main point, which, alas, has happened anyway.
