Yeah they were violating the regulations with Cloudtail & Appario and with growing pressure they've no choice now.

But still there are loads of sellers claiming to be an 'Amazon Brand'[1] on their listing. If Amazon does have something to do with them, Then again it's a violation of the regulations.

Then, What about 'Amazon Basics' products[2]? I'm sure Amazon manufactures them.

The whole thing is messy and keeps changing according to the 'Mega Billionaires' fight to hold their position, But if this results in temporary consumer choice until one of them wins and we have to pledge our souls then it's fine with me.

Lobbied. That research money is not free.
This is because the Maven repository format is simple: it’s a directory convention + an xml file on each directory to indicate dependencies. It’s easy to implement and host in any web server.
Other tools (Ivy, Gradle, SBT) can consume it. But, in essence it’s the same with npm and yarn: both get packages from the npm registry (the common denominator is the repository format).
I’m not arguing against you, but why do you feel like expecting maximal optimization is unreasonable? Is it just when limited to specialization or do you think it applies more broadly in terms of general optimization?
"business problems"? I feel like the goal posts are moving here. EOD all I'm saying is I didn't really understand or appreciate OO until I'd read and digested DP. Until you've at least covered those basics it's hard to have an opinion on whether OOP is crap or not in my view. But maybe I've just been indoctrinated by it.
> Einstein famously didn't have adequate math for special relativity and sought help.

General relativity.

Special Relativity is an extremely subtle insight into relatively simple mathematics, general relativity is basically a chasm of rich detail that requires advanced mathematics to express and use.

Beyond examining the mathematics for yourself, you can see evidence for this in that there are very little texts considering "mathematical" (i.e. for mathematicians) on special relativity but many on general relativity. (For what it's worth, I find some of these mathematics-first one's to be remarkably poor pedagogically and far enough away from any useful physics that I sometimes question why some of them exist, although I am a very long way from being a mathematician).
To play devil's advocate on the re-write stuff. That's because new tools are usually significantly better on one or more dimensions and usually not much worse in other dimensions.

That doesn't mean you should actually do it, but as someone who's had more than enough time to get over the new and shine syndrome there's a lot to be gained by migrating as often as needed (ie. the productivity gain from the new outweighs the migration/current support cost in a reasonable timeframe).

Programming tools, techniques and languages are still evolving quickly and even in the same ecosystem I don't use many of the tools and a frameworks I did 5 years ago.
Broken link? Was it taken down?
'Zero cost' is generally meant to mean 'zero runtime cost'. For most workloads, an increase in compile times is okay for an optimized production build. In the rare cases where that's not enough, I find that using precompiled headers and splitting code into translation units helps significantly.

GNOME isn't the first. The OK button in the titlebar goes back to Windows CE/PocketPC. It kind of made sense on smaller screens, yet was confusing as an OK-only dialog had it in the titlebar, yet a multiple choice dialog (i.e. OK/Cancel) had them in the traditional location.
Arguments against this usually boil down to "Well, it hasn't happened yet, so it can't happen and it won't happen".

Arguments for this usually boil down to "Well it hasn't happened yet, but it's only a matter of time before technology without current expression/science that doesn't yet exist/a miracle occurs and it inevitably, without doubt, happens."

Both stupid arguments.

Just responding to this statement:

> I don't see why climate change would affect the positive aspects of fire.

... since it has a strong effect on the fire and the forest, both pre and post fire. It changes a lot of calculus, including the relative benefit of letting things burn out.

We could have a really long discussion on the best wildlands management practices, and the tradeoffs. Prescribed burns, in recent history, have only covered a very very tiny fraction of land. Scaling that up would be logistical difficult, expensive, and probably politically infeasible. Letting things burn is also problematic, as the species mix is no longer well adapted for fire in many places. Suppressing every fire is equally problematic, kind of like plugging the vent in a pressure cooker. Fire breaks, logging, prescribed burns, and other means of fuel load reduction are all traditional fixes that we can use tactically (around cities, etc), but are only going to go so far. In my opinion, we've backed ourselves into a corner in the US west, and with climate change there isn't necessarily a good option going forward.

Hello Mobile suspends your service if it detects use in another device (indefinitely).

Verizon and their resellers may also register devices by ESN/IMEI, depending on if you were migrating to/from a LTE only device. Verizon also whitelists IMEIs and moving from an 'approved VZ device' to a 'global/international device' may result in no service or suspension/contact support

Pageplus is IMEI-tied and does not allow moving your SIM.

Metro (T-Mobile MVNO) blocks service for changing SIMs, at least in the past year or two. They charge a $15 fee to update your IMEI so you can move your SIM to another phone.

Cricket whitelists devices and does not allow arbitrary swaps.

The metric used was emission intensities: emissions per
unit of generated electricity

"If coal and oil plants in the top 5 percent of polluters switched to natural gas, global emissions would drop by 29.5 percent."

So, if top 5% just switch to natural gas of the same electrical generation capacity, the global emission still drops by ~30%.
This gets a strong second form me. I don’t particularly care for Rust, but that is personal preference. This point stands strong for a wide swath of languages (both compiled and interpreted). There is a seemingly endless pull to be all the things, to all the people for a lot of languages. I would much prefer seeing a smaller set of highly focused languages with literally seamless interop between them.

It's strange. You sound like an American who's never lived a revolution, yet your handle suggests you ought to know better.
This is mostly in fact an example of a big problem with benchmarks. What's measured here is the difference between never using an object (and so the actual work to prepare it can be elided, albeit by the OS not the programming language) and doing all the work up front in the expectation you'll use it, but then not using it.

u8 turns into "Hey, Linux kernel, zero these pages if I ever read them" (and then never reading them) whereas the opaque type turns into memset() zeroing all the pages.

Not doing any work is in fact a million times faster but your real program would have needed to do work, otherwise why bother having the vector? Whereupon the benefit disappears.

Where possible design your benchmarks to really do the thing you think you're measuring. If what you're measuring is nothing then be sceptical about supposed "performance" measured for that, since it's nothing, you're probably exploring the same space as the people who wanted to find out how much the human soul weighs (trick question, there is no such thing, but they put a lot of effort into trying to measure it anyway).
Iverson wanted consistent symbols and rules for math notation. So it's math first, then programming language next. Makes it extremely strong with describing algorithms, but gets a bit complicated for programming.
Most people consider "cost" in "zero-cost abstraction" to refer to runtime cost. That presentation is saying that if you let it refer to other kinds of cost too, then nothing is zero-cost, but to me that just means he picked a bad definition.
The problem is that you have not done any real research on the subject and you are trying to argue with someone who has devoted a non-trivial amount of time to truly trying to understand this and, more importantly, understand how I might be wrong. I want to be wrong, yet NOBODY has ever come up with an intelligent observation that invalidates this conclusion. Advance math and science are not required here.

First of all, where did I ever claim we need to get back to pre-industrial levels? Please don't put words in my mouth. The consensus seems to be that the objective should be a 100 ppm reduction from --roughly-- current levels. That will take 50,000 years, give or take a few tens of thousands of years. We can't fix it. Why? Because we can't fix it faster than leaving the planet. Any other imaginary 50-year solution will require planetary scale energy and resources we do not have. We are far more likely to kill all life on earth by trying some dumb "save the planet" solution than to fix a thing.

> Do nothing and let emissions accelerate even further, create an even bigger problem than we've already created. Gamble to an even greater extent with our future.

OK, how about not taking my word for it. Please read this paper. Really read it. Then come back to your statement.

https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-...

I won't ruin the conclusion for you. I give huge credit to these researchers for daring to speak the truth. They actually say they went into this to prove, once and for all, to the entire world, that their renewable energy vision --one shared and still promoted globally-- was our savior. What they discovered is interesting and very much parallels my conclusion, yet they come at it from a very different perspective. If you are honestly open-minded and want to understand the subject, this is your starting point. This is the paper that launched me into a year-long quest to understand what's going on. Read it and come back to me.

> To me your post comes across like someone on the Titanic saying 'Hey guys, we've looked at the data and situation, stop thinking these 20 lifeboats will be able to rescue us. Just give up.'

Exactly the opposite. I am the guy saying: We can't save everyone. We don't have enough boats. We need to figure out if we can build more.

What zealots are saying is: We can save the Titanic with this magical cork.

That's the difference.

Read the paper. Please. It's from a very reputable source you will recognize and respect. No quackery. Real science.

We need to build more boats and stop this nonsense about saving the Titanic.

> For a computer you can buy for the same money that you spend for a MacBook Air a computer with better specs and hardware that you can upgrade.

Which specs? When I last checked, the latest M1 Airs were dominating the entire laptop market on CPU performance, battery life and not making noise. These are important considerations. I mean, sure, for the same price you can probably find better displays, more RAM, a bigger SSD, a better port selection, and all sorts of other things, but there are always tradeoffs, it's not like any laptop beats an Air wholesale on all specs.

If someone doesn't particularly care about upgradability (most people don't), the Air actually seems a pretty good deal. Perhaps they were overpriced before, but I don't think they are anymore.

I got lucky on a $99 black friday deal on a Dell color laser a couple years ago. It's been almost perfect. No more dried out ink. We just finished the last original toner cartridge and can probably get 2+ years out of a $24 knockoff set and that's with a teacher and high schooler in the house.

I used to be friends with a physics grad student at my local university. He showed us their particle accelerator, in an underground room with the control room above.

He said if a certain light and siren went off we had thirty seconds to get out. They installed that after someone fired the accelerator while someone else was in the room, and seriously hurt the guy. He didn't know anything was happening at the time but ended up losing a couple limbs.

I don't think it would require repealing NAFTA. I don't know the legal details of NAFTA (or whatever it is called today). But usually, what free trade agreements do is forcing countries not to advantage local companies over foreign ones among the parties of the agreement. So I suppose if Mexico bans corn imports from the US, it will be against NAFTA. If it bans all genetically-engineered corn whether they are produced in Mexico or US or Canada, that will be OK. If most US corn is GE, then they effectively ban corn imports from the US without banning corn imports.
So, I know Ruby is not faster than python, and Java is not faster than C++, and so on.

But I've been programming for... 15ish years now, professionally for almost 7, and I've yet to be unable to make a program go "fast enough" regardless of the programming language or runtime it's in. And I've had to do some honestly kinda stupid stuff like doing a bunch of CPU-intensive work in python.

And I don't think I'm like, any kind of whiz. I don't know all the deep C/C++/jvm compiler magicks (I honestly find that sort of thing kind of tiresome). I've just found that between multiprocessing (like via xargs -P) and multiprocessing (the python module, or equivalent in a different language or threading in a language with real threads and no interpreter lock) and sometimes shelling out to an OS utility (written in C usually) for a bit of hard work tends to topple any problem, and usually with less damage to the code than a ton of deep magicks would inflict and with less damage to the business function than if it were written in the more-performant less-dev-productive language in the first place.

I feel like I need to make a disclaimer since I know several friends who would feel MUCH chagrin at my disparagement of the deep C++ compiler magicks. It's cool, and I have immense respect for their practitioners, but I think my personal interest in programming stems from interest in logic (like the formal stuff you'd learn in a philosophy class) and how comp sci intersects that with being able to build really cool shit (in a product sense). So, you'll have to understand me when I say that it's only in extremely specific scenarios (like HFT, where I used to work, which is how I know all these chagrin'd people in the first place...) that these things tend to make a meaningful different in the product outcome.
They could make themselves unable to access any data and still comply with lawful orders. There's no rule that you have to preemptively design systems to make data extraction easier.

This planned system means less violation of privacy in cases where a warrant exists, and more violation of privacy where there is no warrant. That's not exactly an amazing tradeoff.

I agree, Greg's Wiki has a lot of amazing content. Certainly there will be a bit of overlap, but the focus of the book is a bit different:

- It is more relevant for scripting than the interactive command line. For example, it includes

- I've taken a lot of care to write non-trivial example code, which is useful to show when and where constructs are useful, and which other constructs they are usually used with. For example, the argument parsing part shows not just how to use `getopt`, but also how it's meant to be used with `eval`, `unset`, `while`, `case`, and `shift`; the standard `--` option/argument separator; how to handle unimplemented options (anything mentioned by `getopt` but not matched by any `case` statements); and how to deal with the remaining arguments.

- The non-trivial code has been linted using `shellcheck` and a lot of it is tested with `shunit2` (533 lines of tests in total, which are included as a download).
Console Tape as an alternative to masking tape for labeling things. It's faster than prints for simple labels, and unlike masking tape you can remove it years later without knives or scrapers.

That and professional quality Gaff tape. Buy the Pro Tapes brand.

Yes, a direct translation. (Using the reduction)
Technically it postpones initializing the memory, and then it exits before that is needed.

If you actually use the memory, both cases work out the same. There are too many languages where you can easily make the mistake of reading uninitialized memory, and that can't happen here, if you ask to sum() the vector you'll get a zero answer in both cases... and both programs will be similarly slow.
Not always. C++/C are also typically better in memory footprint. You can run more threads in the same server, so better qps.

That first example is misleading.

It's doing different things:
In the first case it's not doing anything and it will request memory dynamically. In the second case it's zeroing 16gb of RAM.

The explanation linked at the end explains it better.
Yet many people never look at other costs, so de facto they're assuming 'insignificant costs for everything' which isn't true.

For example, C++'s template language as originally implemented was technically 'zero cost', but C++ programmers paid for it a lot for a long time, in inscrutable error messages and slow compile times (this was fixed to a large degree with modern implementations and standards).
