> It is a glorified tab complete.

Interesting metaphor. Notice how the Bash tab completion is a great tool, that increases people's productivity by a large amount, and receives only complements from anybody you ask. At the same time, the newish Windows cmd tab completion is a great productivity destroyer that gets mostly only criticism and you will find way too many people blaming it for losing data.

Do you know what is the difference? The bash tab completion is always correct. If it can't be correct, it gives you as much of a correct answer as it can, and leaves the rest up to you. The cmd tab completion doesn't care at all about being correct, it will always give an answer, no matter what you ask for.
This would be genuinely weird. The in-memory representation will make one or the other approach more efficient. If you want ordered, pick an ordered implementation (eg Java's LinkedHashMap). If you don't care, pick an implementation that doesn't care (eg HashMap). If you want some special ordering, pick something that can use a Comparator (eg TreeMap) or just sort the data when fetching.

A Frankenstein LinkedRandomTreeMap would pay the overhead of all approaches for an extremely exotic use case.
"most people are too dumb to know what's best for them, government and corporations have a duty to trick them into what they know is right behavior and values."

This attitude is what makes me wary of the current top-down attempts to rein in misinformation on the web. There is a visible assumption that people are not to be trusted and must be lead somewhere. If necessary, by a bit of force. (Deletions, bans.)

Trading misinformation for a nanny-knows-best authority that manipulates you into its preferred position is not much of a trade at all. Either we accept diversity of humanity (including morons), or we will edge our societies towards benevolent informational autocracy that won't stay benevolent forever. I strongly prefer the former, dealing with morons, even though it is not pleasant.
Thanks for adding the context! I'm definitely one of those people that will read comments before the article so I appreciate it.
Just because you don't care that the environment is suffering, and resources are being wasted, because instead of fixing things people throw them away doesn't mean that helping to mitigate those problems doesn't benefit you.

Or to use a crude analogy: just because babies don't care about having their nappy (ie diaper) changed doesn't mean it doesn't help them.
My daughter, three years ago at age 12, felt that she could go at a faster pace on her own, so she asked to be home-schooled. We were really nervous at first but it's been great and agency is the reason.

She still takes math at school but that's usually her only class. Otherwise she's doing things. She's gone to Florence (with us) to take art classes there. (She wants to be an artist or author.) That first year she made a video game (#17 here https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2018-01-02), and this last year she wrote an 80,000 word crime novel. If she can get the kind of score on the SAT that she's getting on practice tests, she has a good chance of going to one of the schools that she wants. (Her early application choice is Yale.)

She's doing things and that gives her meaning to what she's learning. It's not just words on a page but something that she sees value in knowing. We get a lot of eye-rolls when we say she's home-schooled but for her, it's been a game changer. And agency is a big part of that.

The fourth clause may fall afoul of First Sale Doctrine. It's something that I wouldn't trust without talking to an IP lawyer to work out what it actually means and how much is actually viable to be done in an open source license.

I don't think the first sale doctrine comes in to play here at all. If we make it physical media for arguments sake. First sale doctrine would say that if a user bought a cartridge of the game they could resell that cartridge. That is not the same thing as redistribution which would be the equivalent of copying the game to new cartridges and selling those.

Also, this is definitely not an Open Source license. However, it is similar to the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license.

The fifth clause is nullified by the terms of GitHub, I think, as GitHub's ToS seems to require you to allow anyone to fork your repository without encumbrance, which the fifth clause tries to narrow.

I'm pretty sure the terms of a website can't overrule the license of the software. I think at best it could get the project kicked off of github, and make it hard to prosecute someone who didn't realize. His biggest problem is use of the word fork when he really meant derivative work. Which comes down to my point that the goal of the license is legal, but maybe not the wording.
Not many people have 6 figures lying around to pay... I think most regular people, faced with the offer of a 6 figure settlement, would probably fight it to the bitter end in court, before claiming bankruptcy.

Neat. I've done something similar with an LD_PRELOAD library for a dameon's integration test suite. This might be a cleaner way to go about it.
I think people focus much on syntax and not enough on semantics.

After working on 2-3 iterations of similar languages (sexpressions, clojure enhanced with pipe operator), my take away is to define an API (not a new language) and support multiple languages on top of it.

I picked python and the API is here:

> - Most functional issues should be caught by tests (written by another person preferably)
> - Most style issues should be caught by automated tools

I do a lot of Typescript coding. Using Prettier/eslint rules, a host of (e.g. hundreds) of common stylistic and functional issues are caught in CI/CD automatically.

Better yet, I've made a `npm run fix` command that will fix 99% of them instantly.

If your tooling can automatically bring the code into compliance, then folks won't push back and will be highly likely to comply :)
You could--but without any theory of microorganisms, why would you? If anything, the water tastes slightly worse after boiling and sitting, but the beer tastes good!

More seriously, I bet alcohol and hops do play a role. The alcohol isn't enough to sterilize anything (which requires a much stronger concentration: ~70%, usually). However, it and the hops could help maintain sterility once the heat has done its job.

Bacteriostatic water is used to dilute drugs for injection, and it uses a similar principle: a small (0.9%) amount of alcohol is added to keep any bacteria from getting a foothold.
Should've used a VPN!

> > it had little effect on who was on top in American society

> I'm not sure what this means

Rich, politically-influential leaders before the war were largely still rich, politically-influential leaders afterward. The colonies became independent, but, aside from those who resisted independence (and hell, even some of those), colonial leaders stayed on top. The Constitution itself [edit: and, even more so, the Articles before it] was structured in support of preserving that order, even. The injustice the war sought to remedy was remote rule by fiat, not, to a substantial degree, the social or political order of the colonies themselves.

This is not, however, to say that the development of a large, democratic nation-state was not significant—but a revolution of social & political power structures in the Americas, it was not.

It'd be like if the French Revolution had skipped the beheadings and property-seizures and rolled directly into having a governing body comprising almost entirely high-level aristocrats, based on a constitution protecting aristocratic interests, with the king continuing to enjoy all his land and maybe a couple of his sons serving at the highest level of government a few years later—we'd scratch our heads in puzzlement at anyone calling that a revolution, unless maybe a failed one. A re-organization or, if you like, evolution, of government, sure, but not much of a revolution.
Sure. Non-uniform scaling, bends, and twists all render the distance field non-Euclidian.

I did something similar when investigating how SQL Server behaved under certain failure cases of the file system (specifically how it behaved when seeing lost writes). It's a really useful technique for validating behaviors under error conditions.
Why would 5G make that be a more viable choice for the TV manufacturers than existing widespread cellular networks?
Indeed, though effective regulations requiring phone manufacturers and app developers to stop trying to lock your data into their device or software wouldn't be a bad thing either. The ability to back up your own data on your own terms would be a good start. Some recent legal changes, such as the GDPR in Europe, have attempted to guarantee this access when services have your data. But apparently having your own device lock you in is still OK for some reason.
Great presentation. Looking forward to fidget 2.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think EDN really has anything to do with homoiconicity. You're just parsing in data (strings) into other data (internal Clojure data structure). It's nice that the syntax matches how you'd write the data structure in Clojure itself.. but you could also parse EDN in a non-homoiconic language.

Clojure's lispyness is a bit overplayed? I feel it's generally irrelevant for the vast majority of language users and it's really not what makes the language great. I seldom seeing custom macros... and while I'm sure it's important for a minority and I'm glad it's there - if it was disabled tomorrow (outside of the language internals) I'd probably take me a while to even notice :)
There's no question that the UK's speech laws are abusive, especially to American sensibilities. You can find stories of people being arrested for calling a police horse "gay", or saying "woof" to a police dog, or the guy who taught his girlfriend's dog to respond to Seig Heil to troll her, or the 19 y/o who quoted a Snoop Dogg lyric on her Instagram page, or the guy sent to _jail_ for leaving anti-religion cartoons in an airport restroom. These cases are among the ridiculous fringe, so a bunch of them were overturned or resulting solely in fines, but they're the tip of the iceberg of the more mundane gov't suppression of speech and accompanying chilling effects that the UK has decided it wants.

Though that doesn't imply that defamation has no place in speech laws, nor that the case in question was necessarily abusive.

It sounds like they had multiple Mongo nodes on separate machines, communicating over the internet. Presumably the application(s) are also on separate machines and would need to communicate with Mongo.

I think `docker network` has options to create a network across Docker daemon hosts? But that has some tradeoffs, I'm sure.

It seems to me that it is a purely propaganda that these things are mutually exclusive. Like how all smartphone manufacturers had phones that were fine with removable batteries, but then suddenly that was gone from literally every brand in the world because it is so powerful for planned obsolescence
Yes, the wrongness is partly associated with the direction these things come from.

OpenAI leadership knows that there is just sooo much value to capture in more automation, even if it takes billions to get there. They also know, that there is sooo much money around not knowing what to do and so much excitement in the field generated by bystanders, not understanding a single thing.

Perfect setting for ride and reap.

I repeat: There is nothing open about this, the research scientists are being used in order to propel just another get rich sooner-than-later scheme (how should they know better, they are innocent scientists). Happy bulldozing what is left of society in order to generate profits and to shove the AI BS down the managerial class, because that's all just how the system works.

And, if know all that, you can exploit it, hacker.
They settled so what issue would there be collecting? Presumably the party accepting the payment would check to make sure it was likely to be paid.
A TPM is just a bit of memory that is "hacker proof" so you can store a private key with a guarantee that it can't leak out. You can then sign, encrypt, or decrypt using the key.

They were controversial because it was originally thought they would be used to lock parts of your computer away from you, being used to do DRM and the like. At the end of the day the chips were hard to use, slow, and flaky enough that it didn't really pan out. A lot of the braindamage came from a secondary feature where you could theoretically create "secure enclaves" where the entire execution chain down to the bare metal was signed to prevent viruses and rootkits from executing. In theory this is neat, but in practice it's basically impossible on PC hardware and caused a lot of problems. This functionality is the reason BitLocker had the reputation for randomly locking you out of your machine, even though it doesn't use the feature directly. The configuration registers were maybe a mistake.
