Iceland also doesn't have its own military but does have US military bases and the US has promised to defend the country. This means that Iceland is dependant on a good relationship with the US and would act when requested.
Actually it is a logical fallacy to interpret one's rejection of a proposed solution to be a rejection of the problem. I'm not arguing any specific case for it, but it does seem to be quite common and problematic in civil discourse.

And the "another problem" is to misunderstand the way that money influences PR statements from powerful entities (politicians or otherwise). This part isn't illogical but just ignorant/mis-educated about wealth and power.
It's kind of ironic that you declared it protected given that the poor subclasses won't actually have a definition to work with... which is incidentally one of the reasons not to do this.

I mean, Google does this all the time with things, too. And so I suspect it's partially ex-Googlers influencing things to some degree.

Yea, but their site was never very good? Even at the time, I felt they didn't quite know what do with their group site.

Every few months/years, I would check back, and still found the site the same.
I'm a big fan of tangentstorm. I have been playing with J for years, and every time I experience a lull in my J pursuits, Michal comes out with some great video on or using J. I highly recommend watching his YouTube stuff, and checking out his github page. He just put together j-kvm. A keyboard, video, and mouse driver for J [1]. He uses this for the editor work in J.

This is a very ... disappointing end to this conversation.

My point was, not that you said "the last 20 years", but instead, I am saying that credit as a basis of US style capitalism, has existed for 20 years.

And I go on above, to explain why.
I'm tired of roommates forgetting their chores so I spent 2 months making an app
I know this is going to come off as self promotion but I don't care. I making this post for everyone who has to deal with the same nonsense that I've dealt with for years.

For the last 6 years I've had the same issue over and over again. Time after time I've had roommates who kept on forgetting to do their chores, on top of that, forgetting to pay me back for bills. I've harbored this frustration that has built up inside me and used it as fuel for the last few months to create the best app I could muster up. I know it's not perfect and there is a lot more work to be done but I think it's good enough god damnit. I created this app to make sure everyone can avoid the same crap that I went through.

I'm not releasing it yet there are still some bugs I need to take care of. I decided that I'm going to be releasing the app and posting the link in the comments below on Sunday (September 5th, 2021)
That's so funny this exact thing happened to me at the same age, and with Zelda as well. I was 6 years old when Ocarina of Time came out and had this exact experience of my parents getting fed up with reading the text to me and being forced to read it myself. I definitely think it helped me become a strong reader early in life. Good for you, I think this is a good idea.
There is "From NAND to Tetris". There are not-too-few people with knowledge "from quantum mechanics to UI". At some point you get accustomed to actually know everything :) and you're annoyed with details which are excessive. The non-essential ("incidental") complexity.

You can probably make website faster if you learn 3rd party tools for that... but then you won't be in the position of Paul Graham in Viaweb, where a small team run circles around competition, being that much more productive. I suspect Apple's success is largely because Woz knew ins and outs of the system.

Your important here word is "anymore". Maybe we're at the wave of complexity which will wane. I don't actually think it will last.

Scientific progress seems to turn everything into an arms race that becomes more and more tempting, dangerous and risky as things advance. We seem to lack the self restraint necessary to stop ourselves from playing the game, the primary victim of which are always going to be us eventually, in this case as the means of tyranny are democratised.
This is why copyright is dumb and doesn't translate properly to cyberspace. There is no way in hell the RIAA would bring a case against you for listening to a record that you own in the privacy of your home with a group of your friends. This is the exact cyberspace equivalent to this meatspace activity, which is obviously entirely legal and desirable and socially acceptable. The fact that we can't have nice things over a technicality that there's some distance involved and computers is utterly insane.

> The primary goal of playing an instrument is to make something that sounds good.

It could be argued the primary goal of playing games is to make an experience that feels good.

Based on the popularity of let's play videos and streamers I suspect the legitimacy of both activities will converge.
I am not unamenable with the crusty old hams in some regards. Part of the charm of these little slices of the spectrum are that they are are, in some part, the only place where you can meaningfully interact with legacy analog radio technology and specifications. There are lots of places you can muck about with digital radio, shiny new specs, mesh networks, etc etc. But if you want to build your own antenna, grab a super low powered transmitter and bounce an analog signal off the atmo to talk with a person halfway around the globe, Ham radio is where to be. It's reasonable for people to desire to protect that.
> It's an accessibility issue, not a balance issue: it's not like you can buy your way to victory.

It's only 'not a balance issue' because you consider access to all of the cards to be table stakes.
>The UI _was_ the best UI I had used but the recent rewrite set it back quite a bit. The UI designers seem to think that pretty is better than functional.

This applies to 95% of all modern software. Optimise UI for looking (subjectively) pretty in screenshots.
Until a few years ago, in India, there were road side coffee shops, but they were sold as quick drop-in, drink and go back type of thingy. Not like you go there with friends, spend an hour, have a good time. Now, coffee day has filled the void. I am guessing there is no coffee day/starbucks in Nigeria.
So an old man.
What is dubbed as an "architecture astronaut" is, in my opinion, a researcher in software engineering as is the work they do. Largely, software engineering and practices aren't well defined and there's a lot of ways to approach a problem. We haven't found best approaches but in many cases we've slowly began converging on some architectural approaches for applications. These are really frameworks to think of how to approach a specific type of software system, much in the way research provides foundational theory to think of work in its domain.

We don't think of it that way, but I personally believe that's really what it is. It's a reductionist (abstracted) approach of developing a framework around a set of observations. Just like research, it may be too far abstracted to be relevant to the problem at hand and may take years before it becomes useful. That's just my perspective, though.
That's a really interesting idea that wasn't on my radar. We make extensive use of cron, including fairly complicated job wrappers to do things like provide status to our monitoring system and prevent running the same job multiple times in parallel. I like to break these out into actual shell scripts if it gets too complicated, but some of these things might be simplified through using systemd units and timers. Plus we could gain some additional functionality, like chaining jobs, which we currently do with "This job shouldn't run more than X minutes, so schedule the follow on job +X minutes from the last one". Plus, do I understand you can schedule jobs on the second?!? :-)

"Limiting advertisements" seems awfully different than "limiting minor's access to gaming servers to 3 specific hours in a week".
I wish Rust would just make everything (that can be async) in the stdlib async, but also provide a simple primitive for "block the current thread on this async call", and guarantee that all of the stdlib functions that are async work when called with that primitive. Something like "block!(async_fn())" or "async_fn().block". Or even just allow non-async functions to .await, with the meaning of "block the world until this finishes running"

What am I missing that makes this undesirable?
It is a de facto standard in that it is fairly widely documented and actually done. It's not in any ISO or IEEE standard or anything of the sort.

There is almost no reason whatsoever to use void * anywhere other than to write a declaration that is compatible with another one which uses it.

(A pointer to any object is better implemented as a typedef for unsigned char *. This requires a cast in both directions, thus it is safer. At the same time, it is more convenient when you actually want to work with the memory as such: you have bytewise arithmetic and dereferencing.)

> C is fine with pointers to structs which are merely declared but not defined.

Particularly if the secret object is a struct/class then this certainly improves the code (and when the secret isn't such a thing, it can probably be made into one: e.g. a secret array of integers can probably just be a a struct containing an array, possibly a flexible one). Numerous unsafe casts are thereby eliminated.

But it makes no material difference to its organization or semantics. It's still the same PIMPL pattern.
Sounds like society.
Super cool stuff! Thanks for the article. I was wondering if someone had an opinion on an adjacent idea.

I've had Nash's infinitely collapsible sphere stuck in my head for some time:
https://www.quantamagazine.org/mathematicians-identify-thres...

For purposes of nearest neighbors this seems like an incredibly interesting shape to inscribe into:
The sphere, despite having spherical properties also maintains linear properties due to the corrugation. To me that means we can try to inscribe orthogonal properties into both of the spaces.

My understanding of these geometries isn't complex enough to make the connections, so my question is this:
Do you think its feasible to use shapes with this 'corrugated' property to make better nearest neighbor compression?
My intuition tells me that you can use the shape's linear nature to push apart independent components and inscribe the rest of the details into the spherical components. Or perhaps the opposite way.

Hopefully that made sense!
You want to maximize the window? Just go Fullscreen! You want to see the dock? Just manually resize the window. It will remember the size you left it at! Except it doesn't, it resizes every window every time to some random two thirds of the screen, just in case I need to...?

Why on earth would the green arrows button do anything except fill the desktop with the window?

Can't speak for the original poster, but I do not trust that software updates won't simply break something.

I get that the intention is to FIX something, but it seems very trusting to assume that something else won't just break. If I depend on some software and I'm using it without issue, I probably don't want to just randomly change it when I'm not experiencing a reason to change it.
I just tried searching it by name in the Play store and it did not come up. Apple might have backpedaled on the deprecation timeline for existing users but the initial announcement was basically telling Android users to get lost, so we switched to other apps shortly after.
This was common in the 90s, BeOS had these everywhere in its API classes
I wish Google would stop pushing Chrome every time you try to user their search engine.

Why doesn’t Apple make them stop that shit as part of the billion dollar default search deal?
This article is sadly lacking in historical accuracy. AOL grew out of Quantum Link which definitely predated the Internet. In its heyday it provided far more utility than the Internet of the time. This is a terrible comparison.

Ten years ago Apple abandoned Samba. But Samba back then was much worse than Samba today, which is of equal quality to the Windows Server stack but harder to configure.
At the management level their where many issues to blame the original folks for it though is blind… Steve’s brother dies of brain cancer. The market crashed causing all the time Warner execs to go ape shit on losing their cash bonuses in favor of worthless stocks that had been the primary motivator… combined with the market changes in broadband… and yeah 12 years of growth turned negative in what felt like overnight - hindsight a million things could have been handled better. Best anyone can do is learn and do better which IMO is exactly what Facebook, google and Amazon have been doing …

> Microsoft and Apple have been doing this ~forever with their operating systems' respective "learn about what's new in [OS version]" notifications.

I have a MacBook I keep on the couch for random browsing while watching TV. It's a 2010 vintage one. I once spent an afternoon googling to work out how to shut off the "Upgrade MacOS now!" alerts, that'd link me to a page in Software Update which said "You can't install MacOS (whatever fucking version) on this computer".

(I mean, they can't even get the evil dark patterns right. Surely that notification should link directly to the Apple store page for a new MacBook with a time limited discount code countdown ticking? You know, to increase the sense of urgency and properly flatten the conversion funnel?)
Sounds like a society under the western intelligentsia.
>PFOF price improvement might be hundredths of a cent (per-share) off of a 3-cent lit spread. But, if PFOF were banned and all that volume were lit instead, the lit spread might actually be 2 cents, so you'd be saving $0.005 in this universe compared to the one we live in.

1. considering that retail volume dwarfs institutional volume[1]. Therefore I find it unlikely that there will be that much price improvement on lit exchanges.

2. part of the payment for order flow goes towards making trading free for retail traders. Even if I'm getting $0.005 better prices, that would be eaten up by the $5-$10 trade commissions I'd have to pay.

I don’t believe that’s what I said or what I asked.
That's an alert from "people", for a stretched definition of what "people" means. A bank is full of people who (purportedly) represent your interests, so the notification is from their fraud team, not a machine. Per se.
I've used osx for maybe 15 minutes in my life, but I distinctly remember this question.

Have you noticed if any of the calendar protocols allow for recording an appointment without specifying a date?

Consider a haircut that will take 45 minutes & will invite two people (me & the barber), but the day/time is still undecided. Perhaps that sort of appointment can park at a placeholder date with infinite capacity until the real date is scheduled?
Bad on the other side? Which side are you talking about? Surely not the Linux ecosystem
> I’m never going to buy anything on my iPad!

Not if you don't set it up! (I kid, of course. It always made me mad how iOS was supposed to be the OS that respects your attention and just silently does its job, but first-party apps are worse than third-party apps. Steve Jobs died and that idea went right out the window. Now it's more like "100% of iPad users have lots of disposable income that we could get 30% of!")
It not possible with rust current abstractions you would need:

- higher kind types / type constructors

- some features to handle differences in the auto-traits depending on the result of the type constructor

- some magic to resolves that

---

- OR namespace overloading e.g. read_to_string$sync and read_to_string$async and magic to resolve that

But async has A LOT of implications which change subtle things around handling it, like e.g. the handling of lifetimes/borrows, Send, Sync, etc.

So this probably wouldn't be worth the complexity it introduces.
> My general rule is: Technology shouldn’t initiate communications with me, ever.

> I’d consider abandoning the entire ecosystem if it wasn’t likely just as bad on the other side.

It seems to me that you are not in position to set the rules.
This post largely glosses over the business motivation of these efforts.

Businesses want to reduce risk. That means reducing the probability of expensive surprises.

That means they'd rather spend 10% more on inefficient code running in production than to risk their 10x developer quitting and nobody else being able to understand the codebase, costing the company a lot more.

A lot of developers and engineers just want to have their space to tinker, to grow their skills and their mind. As a bonus, under this arrangement they'd get paid for it!

That's not how the real world works. Work follows the money, not the passion, and that's why work generally sucks.

E.g.: Photographers don't get to spend all day doing art photography, they largely have to do wedding photos to pay the bills.

If you don't want your hobby to suck, don't do it as a job (or accept that work sucks and do stuff on the side for your own enjoyment if you have the energy for it).

My best advice for any engineer is to take active interest in the business' needs and wants and consider those to be on a higher pedestal than implementation details.

Have you worked in customer service before? Usually, the options you've got as a customer service agent are pretty limited. When I was at Best Buy, we had people ask us to escalate complaints about anti-features (like the pin pad that tried to sign you up for email spam) all the time, and had no ability to take action on them.
Same for mine.
That would suck for anything IPv6 (minimum MTU is 1280, as opposed to 576 or something around that).
Are dictatorships going to prove to be more resilient than democracy in the age of endless noise? The west needs to realise that everything we have is at risk if we don’t get our act together. We need to forget arguing amongst ourselves and look at a billion people who are going to rule in a very different way from our pseudo-liberal societies. They will be a lot less considerate of us that we have been of them while we transferred jobs and money into their society.
I think that's a reasonable way of framing it I guess, but the reality is the industry on the whole doesn't have a place to put people like this. Most companies don't have a need for that kind of research. They just have to ship something.

Nor is it the case that everyone who does this kind of "research" is actually qualified to be doing it.
Bingo. Most oat milks, including standard Oatly, have significant added processed vegetable oils to achieve the fattiness that most expect from milk. Can’t be healthy.
