I don't really see the problem for this website, the languages supported are all European, named after the country they're originally from, (with perhaps US English as the odd one out).

Things might start getting confusing in countries like India, of course, but I don't see the problem in this specific case.

I do have a problem with their homepage related to languages though: you can't get from English to Spanish or Italian on mobile without going through some weird state machine of what language makes sense to list next. There's always the option to switch to English, but I can't see Italian or Spanish from every other page.

It's a political, not a technical issue. MS and Apple are stuck with their lock-in mentality and until they'll change, this fragmented mess will remain in place.

At least MS joined OpenXR effort in contrast instead of pushing their own NIH.

However this did happen for DirectX as an option. There are dxvk (dx9-11) and vkd3d (dx12) which translate DirectX to Vulkan.

Very late to the reply. I got a little emotional typing out that story so I didn't check the comments section for a few days.

Is it because of deterministic outcome? Would be interested to hear more about the book as well.
There's more power than that in spec. For example, you can globally define :address/zip to be a string that's more than, say, N characters long. Now anytime you encounter an :address/zip, regardless of whether it is inside, say :billing-address or :shipping-address dictionary/map, it can be checked for those function predicates.

Why do you think that? It might require a different mental model of types in order to see the benefits but I can't believe anyone is working on a project that doesn't have any sort of properties or 'business' logic that dependent types wouldn't help encode.

Zoom is pursuing surveillance profits.

Shoshanna Zuboff has an excellent book on "surveillance capitalism", if you want to read more on the trend.
Well, basically it's about converting iteratively computated state to a function of iteration count.

Consider indvar[n] = indvar[n-1] + k, indvar[0] = a. It follows that indvar[n] = a + n * k.

This is the type of indvar canonicalization that can zap loops such as the one in the article. Suddenly the final state is just a function of the loop trip count.

The return value is replaced with canonicalized indvar. That makes the loop itself dead (nobody observes any of its effects) and removed by subsequent dead code elimination pass.

My example transforms addition to multiplication. Another common one is multiplication into power. That's close to what's going on in the article example: xor is just a multiplication of signed one-bit integers.

Unless you’re using Zoom all day, the browser version is just fine. Folks can see and hear me; I can see and hear them; I can share my screen. It’s good enough.

Also, we’re trialing big blue button (self hosted) as an alternative, and it’s honestly pretty decent from what I can tell.
Right now it’s mostly the CRI/kubelet interaction (which polls the container runtime for containers) and metrics scraping generating the garbage.

Having an incremental CRI watch (vs poll) has been on the backlog for years, but correctness and features have been more important for most people.

Several people were looking at this recently as we were squeezing management pods + system processes onto two dedicated cores for telco/edge real-time use cases (the other tens of cores being reserved for workloads). It’s not that hard to fix, it’s just never been the top priority.

Real software has curves.
Mirrors are interesting. They hit very high performance metrics in a small budget. However they have this pesky issue of requiring an electrostatic field. Conduction losses are a killer, scale up in nasty ways, and ablate material quickly.

In terms of inexpensive neutron sources: they're perhaps some of the best we have.
Do you know whether she filed the right partial-year CA tax filing for the year you moved? It almost sounds like she missed a step that would "close out" the CA tax records...

My wife and I moved overseas around the same time, filing one CA non-resident/partial year filing. In subsequent years, we only filed IRS returns with the foreign earned income exclusion, etc. and had no further issues. It was the other, ongoing treasury department reporting requirements that were a pain, not taxes per se. We eventually moved back and had another CA partial-year return to start things up again.

We even used a trusted relative's CA address as our mailing address for federal tax filings and US financial accounts we kept open while abroad. We did let our CA drivers licenses lapse while getting new ones overseas.

As I see it the problem is also in approach to big new projects. Usually you have long careful preparation to build something about what you have no clear idea how to do it, since it was not build before. But investors, in this case usually government, wants to see some classical project, with schedule / waterfall but in reality it should be more, as what mentioned SpaceX is doing. Which as I understand is fast iteration on unclear solution with clear goal. But I can understand that investors prefer to have ordinary projects as it is more classic approach. The issue is the way it works every time is the same. Project starts everything is fine. Some small delays on milestones but OK, then someone finds out that state of project is actually much worse than expected. Director is fired and the cycle starts again. On the end there is somehow working somehow done project.

Maybe a pedantic point: I think there is a difference between saying 24 tonnes of plants were "required" and saying 1 L represents 24 tonnes of plants. The same way 1 kg of iron represents some, I imagine incomprehensible amount of fusion. But if you want 1 kg of iron, you don't need to go out and expend that energy, any more than you need to go out and expend 24 tonnes if plants. Both are basically finite, with geological or astrophysical origins, rather than something we can make again on human timescales

That’s easy, a valid email address is one that is well formed, conforming to the specification for email addresses.

I know what you’re trying to get at, but that’s just a category error. It’s a misuse of the term valid in this context. For example my mail archive contains many emails from valid addresses for which there happens to be no currently active mail box end point. They’re still valid data though. The fact that people sometimes use th s term valid to mean something completely different is just an unfortunate linguistic accident, but its a mistake to think it’s meaningful.
Trustworth? not sure sure. Walmart 3rd party seller is hard to contact for a return in case of problem. Walmart seems set up a way encouraging shop from Walmart own source than 3rd party on Walmart web site, which I don't blame them as that's where most of Amazon's problem came from.

However, Amazon does have one key appealing, regardless who's the seller Amazon almost guarantees the free return, where in Walmart you'd better take it back to Walmart store even it's sold by Walmart themselves.

The return policy is the one single reason Amazon trumped all other online e-commerce which is not hard to see but difficult to clone.
I see two issues with that way of thinking:

- morality and ethics are a gradient and are fluidly getting defined as we evolve. Are you still immoral or apathetic if you use electricity generated from coal? Or are you saying we are all apathetic but this is the one instance you want to stake your argument on?

- almost all systems get misused over time: are all those makers apathetic? What about the intent of the hustlers using such systems?
My small town in northern SF Bay Area has two apartment complex projects totaling over 600 apartments approved and signed off. Neither project can find financing. Projects have been on hold for three or four years. Just no funding. State is demanding town build lots more dwellings. Town has approved lots of new apartments. No funding is available.
> processing itself has no relevance to health

My understanding is at odds with yours. Problems extend well beyond calorie density.

"Processing" covers a lot of things but is often performed for shelf-life reasons. Preservatives are introduced. Ingredients are cooked at very high temperatures to eliminate ambient storage issues. Processing also allows recipes to be precisely tweaked by committee, adding salt, artificial flavourings, and [often controversial] sweeteners. Colourants are dictated by marketing too.

Aside from probable direct chemical issues, these flavour- and sodium- hyperdense foods screw with our expectations from food. They're also digested too fast, exacerbating glycaemic swings, even illiciting a Pavlovian response.

Your "filler" ignores the cause of today's problems. The problems above are caused by a 70 year postwar food race. Capitalism. The way out isn't more of that, we need to recalibrate. Everyday food _should_ be boring, so that treats remain special. Reclaim a taste for the boiled veg our great grandparents had. Get away from this boomer-fuelled sugar fetish.
Discord does. It makes some sense, since Discord has a feature to broadcast what game you're currently playing (or anything you want), but I found it was scanning /proc even when I turned this off.

I didn't like that, and I spent a lot of time and effort working out various ways to keep it out of /proc (or anywhere else while I was at it- mostly with AppArmor) and ultimately ended up running it in a container with systemd-nspawn. This is still a little bit fiddly, but seems to work reliably and without any issues.

I run Zoom from flatpak, which runs it in a container, and sandboxes it to some extent [1]

The difference being that iron is recyclable and can be re-smelted (if oxidized) without needing to be fused in stars whereas with fossil fuels we aren’t so lucky. (However, synthesizing hydrocarbons IS feasible.)

Beta tester here. I LOVE having the address bar at the bottom. It's so obviously better to me. You are only hearing the people who disagree complain because.. why would I complain when it is currently how I like it?

Plus, I think you're missing what people are actually complaining about. Most aren't complaining about having it at the bottom. Most are complaining about having it floating at the bottom where it blocks page content instead of docked the bottom edge.

Having a toggle is the perfect compromise.
Target was good 5 years ago. These days they're pushing more and more items into "same day delivery" only with some gimmicky subscription service. No thanks - I'm looking for a transaction, not a long term relationship. If you really want to charge for shipping, then reduce your prices so that the cost of shipping is no longer built in.

And yeah, the "marketplace" cancer is everywhere. It's turned Amazon into trash, yet traditional companies seemingly can't help but follow in their footsteps. If I want to sort through vendor reputations for gensym-branded white label gadgets, I'll go to eBay or AliExpress.

FWIW the Home Depot website is much faster if you use noscript to block all of their surveillance vendors. Probably the worst website I've seen with regards to that - by default I think they backhaul all of your mouse movement.

Pure speculation here, but we may be overlooking some mechanical mechanism in the obesity epidemic: Could it be that simply consuming a larger percentage of foods containing ingredients made of powders and pastes which are easy to mass-produce is robbing our digestion process of some fundamental function that results in over-eating?

Perhaps the human stomach needs to take its time digesting whole foods and fibers in their natural form to produce feelings of satiety for longer periods of time?

I wonder from a technical perspective how many of the bad developer experiences like this are arising almost entirely from a lack of continuity between app reviews.

A number of commenters have pointed out their experiences in resubmitting the same (unchanged) app and getting s different outcome.

Similarly, in this case, it sounds like an issue came up in the recent review which had previously been addressed 3 years prior.

I wonder if improved continuity would let Apple offer higher quality reviewing and a better developer experience? It seems like many of the complaints of arbitrary decisions could be coming about from a lack of continuity in one app's review.

Clearly at Apple scale, they aren't likely to have the same human reviewing the app repeatedly for years on end, but I wonder if there's a low-difficulty patch to this process to get better communication and continuity between reviewers, and more context in the communication with developers.

I don't have experience with this review process in particular, but often these processes favour "ticket" style ways of working - developer caries out an event which results in an item entering a queue, and items from the queue get served by the first available server (aka reviewer). Given the review process takes time, I wonder if it would be more productive for the review to appear as more of a conversation? Perhaps even semi-synchronous or asynchronish?

At the reviewing side there must be a fairly significant amount of mental context switching taking place between apps, re-submissions etc. Maybe Apple is simply expecting too many high quality context switches per individual per shift, resulting in mistakes in reviews, but isn't doing enough oversight to spot mistakes and optimise to reduce them? Is there any incentive to drive them to improve their mistake rate?
You're looking for refinement-types?

Scala to the rescue:

https://github.com/fthomas/refined

And a new one:

https://github.com/Iltotore/iron/

The latter will be zero overhead once a compiler ticket is closed.

Both solutions will yield compile time checks where possible, and fall back to runtime checks when the data isn't statically known.
Whether you consider the energy stored in the oxygen or the hydrocarbon doesn’t particularly matter. The energy is in them being split apart.

I read a proposal to send an aircraft to Titan and bring along oxygen as the energy source to burn with the methane in the atmosphere. (It works… sort of. In a methane and oxygen stoichiometric reaction, the oxygen is 4/5ths the mass so it’s not nearly as good of a deal as it is on Earth.)
So the point is not that zoom was better UX wise, but simply had better marketing, or not?

> Add "regime change" to the list of things you might have to worry about, even if you "have nothing to hide".

I think you don't need regime change to make something like that critical. Companies aren't institutions, they're organizations staffed by people and they have turnover. A company as it exists today is not the same as that company 5 years which wasn't the same as the company 10 years ago etc.

The decisions a company will make with data you provide them now may well change in the future - when their leadership changes, when the board changes, when the managers change, etc etc.

On top of that, companies are bought and sold. Blizzard was my favorite game developer but after a but of time under activision they don't seem to resemble the blizzard I remember when I enjoyed their products.

And police can get judges to sign subpoenas for data even if the company doesn't want to share it - if you sent dna to 23andme it's definitely something the police can use, for example, with enough justification.

Regime change is probably completely unnecessary to use your data against you, or in ways you never anticipated it being used.

i don't know a lot of doctor that advocate for the benefit of a covid vaccine for young kids. when they do it's usually in the hope of herd immunity, which seems disproved by the variants cases in countries with hugh vaccination rate.

in general i would also be very skeptical of "scientific consensus" related by the media when you see how much bad press some doctor got for criticising public health politics (even when proved right later on).

That is not a quantitative statement. It seems indicative of a binary view to me, the comment about a cost-benefit analysis notwithstanding.
