'Topolect' is just a translation of 方言, a word that was previously translated as 'dialect'.

It's a weak, flimsy word for people who know better, but still don't have the courage to say 'language'.
Double taxation agreements describe rules to assign the taxation of an activity to a jurisdiction. The other jurisdiction can then no longer tax that activity.

With your proposal you do end up taxing it twice, just at a reduced rate. As I understand it, that would require changes to double taxation agreements.

Wow that was a dystopic and horrifying image you painted.
> When you pick a Help path, there is a hyperlink "Guide" to return at the top but I think you need a really obvious Help navigation thing with buttons. You click a big coloured button to pick a Help path so a button should return you to the start. To be fair once you get it, the return links are tiny and unobtrusive.

Yeah, I do agree that some of the navigation can be quite confusing! As you say, I might add buttons to go to the guide's root or to close the guide and get back to coding.

> If Help could be popped out into a new tab/window then that would make multi-screen use work well.

That's not a bad idea! I might even add a print button so you can browse the guide old-school style!

> BASIC is a bit odd nowadays but it is all starting to come back. The "I've never" guide could do with how to delete a line (type the number and hit enter)

That's some good advice, too. I did mention it in the Scratch/Python howto, but it's definitely a good idea to introduce that one to new coders, too! Having done a bit of UX testing (AKA letting my friends who've never used BASIC before use atto), there have been moments where they have wondered things such as, "why does it go 10, 20, 30...?" and "how do I delete a line?".

> Great job.

Thanks for your compliments and feedback!

Very nice! I've got an old Amstrad CPC 464 lying around somewhere. Hours of fun (especially with loading times), and we've got a whole tub of cassettes with games/programs which may or may not still work!

PS. Fun fact — the caret changes colour depending on the context. It's pink when you're editing your program, and it's blue when your atto program's asking for input!

Exactly. The narrative changed when iPhone / Smartphone took over the world. Now everyone knows what is an "App". And somehow Silicon Valley took over the world. Mainstream Media has all sort of Tech reporting in their front page. Stock investment are also dominated by tech. All of a sudden software programming is cool and you get some sort of social status with it.

But in the 80s/ 90s picking up a Pascal or Delphi book was about the dumbest thing you do in social circle.
That's very true; they're definitely the essentials to any BASIC interpreter! `if` is also very useful as well to do conditional jumps, and so is `input`. With those commands, the possibilities are endless!

The purpose of program synthesis is not to get programmers out of a job. Rather,
it's a tool to help programmers better do their job. I think it's easy to see
why you're not using it. With few exceptions, advances in research take many
years to percolate down to the industry. And of course the industry is famous
for following trends without real understanding of anything.

Anyway the review I linked to has some examples of real-world applications of
program synthesis. Don't be afraid to read it- it's light on formal notation and
you don't need special skills to understand it. I appreciate that it's a long
document but there's a Table of Contents at the start and you should be able to
skim through in a short time just to get a general idea of the subject.

Anyway I can see you're trying to "wing it" and reason from first principles
about something you know nothing about, in true SWE style. Yet, you don't know
what you don't know, so you start from the wrong assumptions ("fully automated"
etc) and arrive at the wrong conclusions. That's no way to understand anything.
It's certainly not going to give you any good idea about what's going on in an
entire field of research you know nothing about.

Of course you're not obliged to know anything about program synthesis, but in
that case, maybe consider sitting back and listening rather than expressing
strong opinions with absolute conviction that is not supported by your
knowledge? I think that will make a better conversation, and a better internet,
for everyone.

Some great advice. Interesting the explicit references to IRC and email, which is (unfortunately? perhaps?) out of date in these days of github issues and Slack.

The original article is 2012 with PRs back to 2016.

My current gig is part of a microfrontend/microservices scheme where each team owns the entire vertical from concept and design through full stack, and there are, gee, 40+ services working in concert with more planned. All of these merge into a single web application. It all works shockingly better than might be expected, but it takes a culture of constant vigilance and care along with automated integration including lerna, yalc, renovate, artifactory, et. al.

For our team, the branch management scheme is 1 branch per JIRA ticket, then PR with automated checks including tests, lints, code review. The dev decides whether to merge, squash or rebase to master with some input from the lead. That master is just for the microservice, which may or may not need to be merged into another parent service.

I think your question is two questions: is git (with its massive additional complexity over svn worth it), and then is the level of git fuckery described in the article worth it?

Obviously, most of the world thinks git as a whole is worth it. Otherwise, it wouldn't have so thoroughly and totally dominated the software revision control system space.

OTOH, probably most of us are using a tiny fraction of the full git feature set, and would perhaps have a different opinion if we were forced to learn and use all of it.

But is it worth it to learn, remember, and follow all the guidelines in this article?

YMMV and it depends on the project, but personally I would say no, unless it is a project of unusual quality and importance. Life is short and it probably won't matter at all in the end.
It's mainly regex lookbehind, but there can also be many other side effects of using Safari over Chrome or Firefox (such as page zooming issues and other rendering stuff, and their disappointing lack of good support for PWAs). The regex lookbehind support problem is the main blocker, though; and really, it should have been implemented _ages_ ago (the WebKit issue for it was made in 2017, and has been open ever since). It's a shame that Safari's the only modern browser which lacks the support for it!
How did you determine that 100c is safe?
But the demands on the roads are also higher. Cars have more horsepower, higher speed, more weight.
In addition, the roads are usually poorly repaired, so you have to repair them more often.
In addition, the contracts are often tendered for private companies and the cheapest company wins. Thanks to the poor quality, repairs then have to be carried out correspondingly often.
Unfortunately, all iOS browsers must be WebKit-based due to the limitations imposed on App Store apps. The problem is, WebKit doesn't support regex lookbehind which is an extremely useful feature for tokenising atto programs. Hopefully, one day, the WebKit devs will implement it, and then everyone will be able to use atto!
Awesome way to combine Tailwind and Django. I wonder what's your recommendation is someone wants to build the backend in Django and the front in any js they want... Say Angular and use only Django templates. What the best approach?
Agreed, however, programming on mobile isn't the most optimal experience in general. atto was mainly built for the desktop, so I'd suggest you try it out on a computer instead of a phone!

This is precisely why San Francisco is so expensive relative to the rest of the country. SF's infrastructure seems expressly designed to prevent people from commuting from cheaper, outlying areas. This effectively limits the housing supply by forcing everyone to live in the city proper. There is a tradeoff to be made here, which I feel is being ignored.
It's also "old think". In modern developments all this infrastructure belongs to the HOA/development corporation, and it is their long-term problem.

But yes, to a great degree this is stare at the potholes, not the pensions funds.

In my cases, several Mac transformed to Linux and some windows transforms, they all run better in Linux. You can check with lm_sensors which reads the temperature of the sensors, specially on the cpu, then repaste them, you will see you gain 10 degrees Celsius or more on badly thermal pasted cpus. I also upped the minimum fan speed (by modifying a file on startup) lm_sensors reads that too, so upped 1000 revs were still is quite quiet and that helps. All of this while having CPUPower on conservative from startup. Peace and quiet :)

I am curious: why do you have a throwaway account for posting this?

Edit: is that machine even able to run another OS than Linux? If not Linux is awesome and can even run on that machine :)

Again I think you're trying to imagine what program synthesis must be like, rather than trying to find out what it actually is like.
You might want to check out one of my projects called: module.sh [1].

It is still a work-in-progress project and the documentation on the website is not up-to-date, but I think we are working on the same problem ;-)

If you want to run probably all the code I have written, you can run the test-suite like:

curl -fsL https://mdl.sh/development/tools/run-all-tests/run-all-tests-0.9.16.sh | sh

A total run-time of 8 Minutes is normal and there is little output in the beginning.

The code is available on Github[2].

Just because it's easier to teach your kids how to conform and behave without thinking doesn't mean it's better for them, or for society, does it? The fact that it's easier probably means it's lazy and wrong.

There's no difference between telling children to always be polite to machines and telling children to always beware of foreigners. Both require obedience and shutting off critical insight. You are dehumanizing the world to them. This is why I took the time to write so many responses.
That's a really good observation. Perhaps it highlights an essential difference between two modes of thought - a fuzzy, intuitive, statistical mode based on previously seen examples, and a reasoned, analytical calculating mode which depends on a precise model of the system. Plausibly, the landscape of valid musical compositions is more continuous than the landscape of valid source code, and therefore more amenable to fuzzy, example-based generation; it's entirely possible to blend two songs and make a third song. Such an activity is nonsensical with source code, and so humans don't even try. We probably do apply that sort of learning to short snippets (idioms), but source code diverges too rapidly for it to be useful beyond that horizon.
Talking RSS and meaning "that feed stuff, you know" is extremely harmful because it adds to the confusion and makes the closed monopolists shine for their "simplicity".

YouTube's Trust and Safety team are actively malicious at this point. This was no error. They regularly censor correct information based on the current thinking among the orthodoxy, which I highly suspect is operating in a cartel manner to censor like-minded topics (hence why FB also sloppily censored the same topic).

How to deconstruct and rebuild a Japanese Castle wall
Yeah, the thing is it doesn't only happen in prime95. Nowadays it's any prolonged use where the CPU is fully used, like video editing or gaming. Give an inch and they'll take a mile, as the saying goes.

Temperature junction throttling is a last resort. No laptop should rely on it in normal operation. Of course, both HP/Dell/Lenovo/etc and Intel benefit from increased sales so they don't care.

Now send some lightning through it, and you have the ability to print magnetic coils in midair aka force fields.
Make a whole array of that and you have a launch loop without ever having to erect an arc.

Or reduce it in size and print it on demand into the outer layers of a traditional fusion reactor plasma-donut, to dampen minor fluctuations, without constantly modifying the underlying superconducting coils.

So cool this actually works.

I love the enthusiasm, but is this another Google thing that is for researchers only? Yes fantastic technology etc, but say you develop something on the infrastructure then go to commercialise, what do you do?

I don't know much about the ML space, but is this a bit like Google Earth Engine, amazing tech, very generous resources free for researchers and development but cannot be ported elsewhere so to commercialise you then are limited to this very environment which is not cheap. I recently reached out to Google for pricing on GEE, 3 weeks later I got a response. 3 weeks.
Which honestly works too. If you are not sure, what the opponent has, you better not test them.

I didn't expect to like this article based on the headline, and the fact that the site is basically there to push a product, but in particular these two points jumped out at me.

[Disclosure: we have three kids between 5 and 11...]

We have (only) three rules for our kids. The wording can vary every so slightly depending on the situation but it boils down to:

1. Be safe
2. Be kind
3. _Try and_ do what you're told/asked.

We've always tried to stress that there's a reason rule one _is_ rule one.

A close family friend in his 20s took his own life just before Christmas a couple of years ago. I was with him and his father in the pub one evening, he was telling jokes, less than 24h later his father sent me a message saying he was gone.

I am having a hard time imagining how anyone with half a brain could have genuinely believed that copilot was ready for production rather than being the pr/legal nightmare it is.
This is all in Japanese but if you watch it you can understand what they are doing. The walls were starting to get dangerous so they decided to take the whole castle wall down and sure it up and reconstruct it. It’s a rare chance to see how they use modern and ancient technology to build a self supporting stone castle wall.

You're right, for a lot of people it isn't worth it. The linked article contain way more detail than I daresay the vast majority of users of git need to know about these days.

If you're a programmer who heavily uses it in your workflow you might find this sort of advice useful, but I've helped plenty of programmers with some issue in git that wouldn't have required my help if they had even intermediate knowledge of it.

Does that mean that their time would be best spent knowing more about it? Maybe, but maybe not. In some cases I'd say definitely not. A lot of people are productive with it knowing no more than "git status/add/commit/push/pull".

I've got expert-level knowledge on git, but I use plenty of tools that I've got at best a novice or beginner-level amount of knowledge of. You can't know everything. The tricky part is that until you know something you can't know what you're missing.

> The genesis of many projects has been about sticking it to the man and winning back the freedoms taken away by big companies

I'm not sure it's working as intended. The current trend is for big companies to take FOSS, put it on a server, and run it as a service with extra quality-of-life trinkets on top - like GitHub or AWS.
It’s simply because the output of copilot is indended to be included in commercial projects. That’s when the licensing issues actually matter.

The output of this isn’t really proposed for anything in particular right now. If someone turned this into a tool to help with creative writing or something the exact same issues would be raised.
As someone who also switched from SVN to git many years ago I understand this "is this really worth it" thing. It came to my mind many times in the beginning when I said to myself "do we really need a distributed SCM if everyone are always working against the same server anyways".

But putting git's technical advantages aside, for me, one of its most important values is that it has become de facto industry standard. It's like IP/TCP/UDP protocols which everyone understands be it a tiny IoT device or 10K-core cluster.

With all this enormous amount of programming languages, frameworks and tools we have in the industry it's so nice we've managed to agree, at least, upon one very important element of our work.
Cooperations are the bacteria/viruses of the open source ecosystem. If one gets infected, the project is left behind to die, while a new project is recreated.
That is what is supposed to happen. However, reality is different. Copilot keeps being shown to simply regurgitate whole code snippets without modification (and more importantly without attribution).

This is a legitimate concern and as an eastern european I’ve always wondered what happens to old condo buildings, of which we have plenty.

Turns out every once in a while the gov picks up the tab and performs the reparations, while giving the residents an option to pay for the expenses during the next eg. 10 years or when selling their property. Some do refuse of course but mostly it works because the added value is quite high since it happens in hot areas where price/sqm is above avg. There are also estate investors buying bulk property in these old blocks knowing they will benefit from it, pushing retirees aside.

There are still plenty of troublesome condo blocks laying around without anybody touching them, but this might be a decent approach.
