I am not familiar with how Julia and Elixir work, but form my experience Python’s REPL is not the same at all as REPL in Clojure or other lisps.

In Clojure, you literally built your program in memory while you’re writing the source code file, updating the memory representation of your running program part-by-part without ever stopping it.

This experience is absolutely magical, and it’s very hard to go back to edit-compile-run loop in other languages after that. It is completely different from “my language has a REPL and I can execute parts of code in it”.
Does this opinion have anything to do with the scandals one might be able to find with a simple google search of your username?

I understand paying extra to make your life a little easier. Doesn't change the fact that in the world of .com domain registration, it's hilariously overpriced.
It may be just the type of stories I happen to see.

But I feel like I run into more cases where UK defamation laws have some absurd outcomes ... and I'm not sure the result is that there's less defamation in the UK.
How would such a company come together in the very beginning? What would the formation process be exactly?

I’m having a hard time imagining it because usually there’s one person or a few with expert knowledge, awareness of an opportunity, and a vision of what they want to achieve. They make great effort and sacrifice in the early days to take that vision from 0 to 1. They eventually build it up into a larger organization with employees, but it didn’t start that way.

For those folks to only own 20% of their own venture - not even a controlling a share of their own baby - may not be enough incentive.

Every company starts somewhere, so how would this system work in reality?

On the other hand, if a large group of workers have a good idea for a new company and want to start one with shared ownership, they can already do that using an LLC or other corporate structure.
> The amount of people who think that GitHub Copilot is a good idea is just frightening. Just shows how many people never thought about the semantics of their programs for even a second.

I think it's an excellent idea. People who copy-paste from Stack Overflow will also copy lots of shitty code or use it incorrectly.

But those of us with a clue, have a neat prototyping system where we can modify the solution until it's coherent. It's still on us. Copilot never claimed to produce the best code. And doesn't have to. That's the whole point behind the "pair programming" metaphor.
The worry I have with these TVs is that basic functions like channel seeking or brightness controls now rely on a computer running Android. It feels like a 1000-fold increase in complexity and risk for something to hobble the TV part of the TV. Say the CPU overheats due to poor heat design after 3 years--it doesn't seem like manufacturers have a dumb mode to fall back on. Similarly, I'd be very worried if a car's radio prevented the car from driving.

It is sad that wanting a simple, modular display that we can upgrade peripherals around is niche these days. In a way, car makers took a step in the right direction with more radios adopting CarPlay & Android Auto, acknowledging that their own radios can't outsmart an evolving mobile ecosystem.
> "...they have come to realize that they won’t be great, or remembered after their death..."

Mary Schmich's classic graduation speech has a line which sums up my view on this very well: "Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself." I don't worry about whether I'll be remembered after my death because 1) nobody remembers me now and 2) I'm not here on this good earth to satisfy some hypothetical future assessors (and nor were those who became great and remembered).

However, unlike others, I won't say that you should necessarily find meaning elsewhere. The lines of Dylan Thomas' poem "Do not go gentle into that good night / Rage, rage against the dying of the light." come to mind. Much like an arcade game player trying to beat their own high score, you can, if you choose, to continue "running the race" for greatness solely for your own satisfaction and, at the end of your days, take comfort in knowing that you achieved as much as you could've with the hand you were dealt. And, who knows? Maybe fame and fortune will find you along the way.
I have the same problem with VPN. I get captcha on so many websites over and over it's ridiculous. Sometimes on different pages of the same domain! It used to be you only got captcha for form submissions. But somewhere along the line you started getting it for simply visiting web pages as well. Part of me wonders if I'm just getting played by these companies into labelling all their training sets for them.
While I completely agree with what you say, I feel it must be pointed out that in the use case of using the bundled Play store application on the device, you have no way of being certain that it is delivering you the correct APK.

It might just as well pull a modified version (there are caveats such as that the device can't already have a valid version of the application setup for this to go unnoticed).

Pulling the apk from Play using something like Raccoon would allow you to verify the signature.
Rust has hash maps that hate you.

The default hash map visits the keys in arbitrary order (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.HashMap.htm...).

You could use a BTreeMap, but that's not insertion order and requires the user to come up with some sort of ordering.
I suspect you are right.
Rebinding an inner function inside another function that contains variables probably will not work.
But you could still alter and rebind the entire thing.
And that is still flexible; you can still change a running program on the fly with only that ability.
And you can always reference objects at the top level.
Middle/Perkville | Full Stack Software Engineers | USA | Full-Time | REMOTE

Middle started as an in-house integration platform: an in-browser Python editor to make connectors, and an in-browser visual scripting language to do the connecting. It's been a huge success, allowing us to say "yes" to customer requests way quicker than before.

Python either. I correct my post above to switch to indexing by a tuple, because what I originally had is wrong:

>>> d = {}
>>> d[[1,2]] = 10
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

This is why I qualified my statement with "Each has their own take on the problem of being unable to use mutable keys,".

Go can be consistent in a simple way because of its type system, it can see if any part of a key has something in it that can't be hashed: https://play.golang.org/p/rf8IqPb76Em

Python, as befits Python, has default behavior for instances that I believe is "is" equivalency, but you can override that with various double-underscore methods to do whatever.

The problem is the government made a policy decision to use whistleblowers as a tool to police malfeasance, rather than hire and pay civil servants to do the same.

As implemented, the law takes away the financial incentive for whistleblowers to take action on the most egregious cases. If a fraudster being uncovered will put the offending entity out of business, there’s no incentive to risk getting blackballed.
Ireland like the UK has strong defamation laws.

I suspect it plays a part in concealing political corruption rather protecting an individuals right to a reputation as pointed out by EU officials a couple of times.
I have mine going via pihole, and every few days it basically comes crashing to a halt and needs turning off/on at the plug.

I guess keeping it totally off would be better, but then it kinda defeats the point of getting a smart tv

The costs would be minimal, but it gives them another hook to try and get you into their paid services.
I think this is an interesting effort, but I question their fuel source - despite common perceptions, there's not a lot of suitable material around that could be recycled in this way, and what is available is of non uniform composition - like the waste from the experimental reactor design they mention. That factor could make reprocessing the stuff into fuel suitable for a given micro design expensive.

It's great that they're trying to use waste material to reduce the waste stream, but that's far from the biggest problem new reactor designs face... by volume, nuclear waste produced by power plants just isn't that much material. If these folks were somehow saying they could recycle the waste generated over decades of bomb making, that would be worthwhile... but that's not really usable waste.

Defamation is a great way for those with money to silence dissent and avoid any consequences. Say our product sucks? Defamation. Claim you were sexually assaulted? Defamation.

Yes I should have specified that it was about unimportant and inconsequential things, like the nickname of a variant of a culinary ingredient, coming usually from meta-humor from the forum.
I also LOVE the minimalist styling of these slides. Maybe that's because they're meant to be read rather than presented, but my god am I exhausted from prolonged exposure to professionally designed, image-heavy slide decks which seek to minimize the ratio of information to file size and consume so much human talent.

Can you provide an explanation of Exxon's behavior that is not driven by the incentive to deliver profits to their shareholders? I'd certainly be open to another way of understanding the situation, but this behavior is so common among corporations of their size, it seems like the simplest explanation to me.

Personally, I think the thing most people are angry about is the wild misalignment between the doctrine of shareholder primacy and the well-being of society overall. Exxon is governed by a board which is elected by its shareholders and has a fiduciary responsibility them. But its stakeholders are a much larger group of people. To be clear, I think that so-called "stakeholder capitalism" is a scam if there is no mechanism to enforce it.

Instead, I think you need an organizational form that incentivizes both efficient operation and the best interests of the people affected by its behavior. This seems to me an as-yet unsolved organizational optimization problem. Unfortunately, at the rate the climate is changing, we don't have the luxury of experimenting to find that form. Short-term, I think the best option for a company with such enormous impact is a government entity with at least tangential accountable to voters. To this end, I would prefer to see Exxon nationalized and forced to wind down their hydrocarbon extraction operations.

Hard to repair =/= impossible to repair.

Also I've had my S8 fixed twice (motherboard change).
Oh I fully accept this is an actual problem, these people are vile and need to be fought vigorously and resolutely. I just don't see what that has to do with capitalism, or actually the economic system at all really.

Do powerful leaders and managers in non-capitalist systems not engage in lobbying and not promote the interests of their industry? Do they not engage in unsavoury practices when doing so? How does the system act to prevent that?

On the contrary all the attempts at non-capitalist systems I'm aware of are based on a system of central planning and the allocation of resources on a bureaucratic or political basis. Fundamentally capitalism is based on freedom of ownership (of property and capital), freedom of labour (to work for or hire others) and freedom of association (to form companies). Planned economies by necessity restrict or eliminate some or all of these freedoms, but those restrictions never stop at economic activities. After all almost everything has some economic dimension. In practice this has always seemed to end up with highly coercive, opaque bureaucratic systems in which factional lobbying and influence peddling isn't just a flaw, it becomes the system.
It covers our recent (big, vague, heavily propagandized) "wars" nicely too.

IE : wars on communism, drugs, terror...

And now we have a new "war". The war on covid.

To win it we must sacrifice everything (free speech, free assembly, travel)

It may go on forever (2 weeks to flatten the curve ... 1 year to... variants, delta...)

Are you seeing the pattern here? Does it inspire you to raise your eyebrow?
I wonder what the expected change in the loss to investors is compared to the delay in a whistleblower coming forward.

I suspect a lot of companies which have illegally covered up losses have later managed to recoup losses to make investors whole again, and have never been discovered. In these cases, investors end up better off without a whistleblower.
The radio is a completely separate sub system that is not affected by unlocking the boot loader of the main computer.

Make the effort to build and maintain a strong social circle. Filter for integrity. Assiduously avoid those who distort truth for personal advantage.
