So, your programming with types. Do you also write tests with types? ;)

In before "types check stuff". If you code some convoluted logic with types (and even non-convoluted logic, too), you still need to test that you've coded that logic correctly.

Make sure that you are not confusing "Parker Jotter" with "Parker Classic"; they look similar (the stainless steel ones) but the latter is thinner which many find uncomfortable. And i replace the blue refill with a black one as soon as i get one.

You can find Japanese offerings on Amazon India and if needed, get it directly from Amazon Japan (i do both). You can also contact the resellers (who import from Japan and sell on Amazon India) directly for a better deal. For example, you can get the Tombow pens from https://www.foremostindia.com/

You should also check Aliexpress. I came across a rollerball pen which can be refilled like a Fountain pen which is neat.

Finally, your quote

>Yes I am aware but the problem is I think they they import their nibs and just make the body of the pens. Somehow I don't feel like buying this Frankenstein and would love to buy the complete product if they make it.

This is quite the wrong way of looking at it. These guys are very good and are optimizing their product based on their available skills. Making a nib requires metallurgy, high-precision CNC etc. which as small specialized Artisans they cannot afford to setup. So they focus on what they are good at (this is exactly similar to specialized Artisans in Germany and Japan; you find entire video series on Youtube; eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5dekz26Kdw). For example, i have a Tombow pencil sharpener where the plastic body is made in Vietnam but the blade itself is made in Germany!. If you are a Fountain Pen guy you should definitely get one or more of this.

Finally, i should note that a lot of branded Pens are manufactured in India; eg. Parker Pens are manufactured by Luxor India and exported.

But posterity will remember you. Today, Bach is considered one of the most prolific musical composers of history. But back when he lived, he didn't receive that much fame. In fact, after his death, people forgot about him. And Bach lived in a time before copyright. He used existing themes by other people and rearranged them for the instruments he used. Many of those folks might have been famous back then, but now many their names are only known to historians (exceptions exist, e.g. Vivaldi).

The front page is a treasure. Many redesigns are attempted and they never work (for me, YMMV). Don’t jiggle what obviously works and everyone is very used to, unless you test the heck out of it.

I read the short headline, and the top comment gave me the clarity I need. As is often the case I don’t need to read the article.
Well, I have two reactions to this:

1) "Drop the pants" doesn't offend me
2) I don't know why it's assumed kimono is a reference to a garment exclusively worn by women and certainly the etymology of the phrase is not clear that it pertains at all to Geisha's or "comfort women"

The best evidence I can find online suggests its a reference from feudal Japan where one could prove one wasn't harbouring any weapons.

However, I do agree that when someone says, "this language is demeaning and hurtful to me", that you should at least reflect internally on whether that's a valid position for them to hold and if so change your own behaviour to cease using a certain phrase.

The bit that stumps me, and I mean I'm totally flummoxed here, is what do I do when I fundamentally disagree with someone else about the implicit sexism or bias of an expression? What if it's something as innocuous as "low-hanging fruit", and, a colleague is offended by that?

EDIT: Actually, I just had a reaction to this, which is when someone else polices my phrasing, I feel misrepresented and attacked. Especially when there exists enough ambiguity that it would be impossible to determine whether there was intent or some hitherto unearthed entrenched bias in my choice of words. So now we're in a circular argument. I feel victimised, and they feel victimised.

Oh gosh, now I'm having flashbacks of past toxic relationships.
The "open kimono" thing is inexcusable in 2021, but I don't think it's anything more than someone cluelessly using an outdated catchphrase. It was semi-common business lingo in the early 2000s in certain circles: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/open-kimono.asp

Self-help guru Tim Ferriss even copyrighted the phrase and made a big deal about publicizing a $10,000 seminar in his "Opening the Kimono" event in 2011: https://tim.blog/2011/04/12/opening-the-kimono/

Then the phrase quickly died, as it should have. Strange to hear an Apple manager using it, but I wouldn't assume they were implying anything or had ill intent.
I should have included them also. It is very much a "standing on giants." As many scientists and engineers from different countries and nationalities have made major contributions.

It's a great video, but there is an aspect to his personal journey that seems a little contradictory.

He seems to have been motivated to make the video in no small part because he had felt lonely working on this project for months without being able to share his findings and frustrations with anyone. (Lockdown has probably had a similar effect on a large proportion of the population). At the end of the video, though, he thanks the community of people who like his work so much that they give him regular funding for access to behind-the-scenes footage.

Perhaps the world of YouTube content creation is so cut-throat that if he had mentioned to his backers that he was looking for information about an old poem, someone would have reverse engineered the topic of his next video and beaten him to making it, stealing all the views from his then-not-produced final product. On the other hand, maybe people appreciate his unique style and the effort he puts into videos and they would be more likely to watch his documentary series about the name "Tiffany" after seeing the copycat videos, which would act as free advertising.

I'm not a YouTuber, so I have to assume he knows more about the risks of this than I do, but if he was really struggling with his mental health for not having someone to talk with about his work, then he didn't give the impression that he had considered all the ways to mitigate that.

U.S. CDC chief says there will be no federal mandate on Covid-19 vaccine
> Let's just assume for a moment that the US will fight off attacks by China to take Taiwan. And that US successfully ward off an attack. What next? What is there to prevent China from trying again and again and again? Will the US be prepared to ward off attacks after attacks after attacks? This is unlikely to happen.

America did this in Korea and it split the country in half.

> With this, lets again assume that China eventually successfully takes Taiwan. What next? They would have taken over an island with a large number of people who resents their rule. There will be a persistent resistance group as long as Beijing continues her ways and Beijing is aware of this and is trying to shape the education of the younger generations so that the resentment does not cross generations.

Also, brainwashing via complete control of the media, disappearing dissidents... They're doing it to the Falun Gong and the Muslims and others and they'll have no problem doing it to more.

> Even if all these were to take place and all hope seems to be lost. There is a glimmer of hope. A totalitarian state has one major fault. There is no effective feedback mechanism and to assume that this one man can make the right call, the right decision all the time is a stretch. At some point, be it internal infighting, or a policy misstep creating intense misery amongst the people, there will be discontent and if the history of China is any indication, the discontent can trigger uprisings and eventually a change of regime.

Also possible for there to be enough bureaucratic momentum that those within it have enough skin in the game to want to install a new head. But once China's growth starts to slow down I wouldn't be surprised at the CCP losing the Mandate of Heaven and the Ouroboros eating its tail again.
Yeah I've used some similar tools before in the past too. The frustrating thing is that

1. they usually have some free tier + some paid tier, and the free tier is never quite enough to do what you want.
2. They always seem to require account creation.

I'm not super interested in building this tool for large engineering teams, but more for a hackathon type project.

> “Product-first” engineers are obsessed with using code to solve a user problem and they see code as just a means to an end.

Eh, from my experience it's quite the opposite, if we're talking frontend vs backend. Frontend is a complete abstraction these days, all about the tools & libraries, a bit less focused on sound architecture, and usually the only thing elegant is the cursive font JS devs use in VSCode.
> the etymology of the phrase is not clear that it pertains at all to Geisha's or "comfort women"

It seems like a strong possibility to me. If someone told me something I was saying offended them, I'd stop using it in their presence and would reconsider using it in general. It's just common courtesy and in this case it's easy to see how someone could interpret it as a sexualized phrase even if you didn't intend it that way. In short, that's not a hill worth dying on, online or IRL.

The Radial Basis Function
Do we have proofs that’s the case? (I.e: that Apple pushes to use same account for work and private life) That has been repeated multiple times but I haven’t seen something that could confirm it.
I would not say obsessed. Instead I divide engineers to implementors (people who are masters of using frameworks/libraries to implement features, but are not capable of writing one) and developers (people who can write a framework/library if that is the ticket).

But yes, there are lots of implementors around and very few developers. We currently try to hire a developer and that is not easy.
You argue that the Germans have let the lawmakers erode the law of free speech over time. This does not make sense, since the laws and the system allowing for the abuse of power by this minister are very old. The fact that this could have been abused for the last 50 years and happened only now seems to strongly suggest that your argument does not hold true.

> Strange to hear an Apple manager using it, but I wouldn't assume they were implying anything or had ill intent.

Yes, I can imagine oblivious men repeating it if they did not realize it could be interpreted sexually. However you do deserve to be called out if you continue using it while feigning ignorance. Your response should simply be, "oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize the implications of this phrase. I'll stop using it." And if you can't do that then HR should get involved. It sounds like that is what was happening. Then she threatened to make her case more widely known and Apple decided, "alright, it's better if you're not employed here while you pursue that."
Another cult of personality instead of building a lasting movement built on any principle. This will fail.
I think part of the difficulty with the libertarian point of view regarding the COVID vaccine is that not all parties are given a free choice either. For example, if someone refuses a vaccine, should an emergency room be free to refuse care? Currently, they can not due to EMTALA.

That's not to say that it's unreasonable to question and philosophize the implications of a mandate. At the same time, barring a more effective plan, the implications of not having a mandate seem particularly horrific.

All the same, I do agree with you that if there is to be a mandate, that it's best to come from the federal government to create a uniform set of guidelines. I also agree that the patchwork of rules has been a mess.

Ever heard of Edward Snowden? You think what he did was totally ineffective?
Which, as an Apple employee, is bollocks. I did a quick straw-poll of people I know at Apple - everyone had both work and personal appleids. I asked because I saw the reporting about how “Apple dont let you have separate ids”, and I have had separate ids for the best part of two decades.

Perhaps it’s a new policy, thought I, but that turned out not to be the case either. Both old and new employees routinely kept life at home separate from life at work, because presumably they see the benefits of that.

I’ve got a personal phone, and I’ve got 5 or 6 work phones/I-devices. I’ve got a personal apple-ID which still uses @mac.com, and I’ve got several @icloud.com accounts I use for testing.
They only have access to company devices, not your personal ones. If you use a different account than your personal one that shouldn’t be an issue. Though they should maybe make it clearer to employees that using personal accounts on work devices is not allowed.
How do we know your friend is wrong about their existence?

I can say that at least, it's hard not to be surprised by such opinions. I've been to Xinjiang and know people that live there. Pretty sure you could live your whole life without seeing said camps.

I also know people that have had family members die from attacks from the Uighurs. If real, I suspect the CCP started the camps after the terrorist attacks - if you look up cities like Korla you'll know what I mean - the security there is insane, complete with officers with submachine guns escorting school children. I didn't have the balls to take a picture...

> No, this is just not true, are we using the same JavaScript? JavaScript's functions change only based on modified application state, not on any other side effect.

If you read some file (or remote URL) multiple times, you may get different data each time. Haskell makes "functions" with this property clearly distinct from regular functions. Most languages, including JavaScript, don't. That's what matters, not whether I/O is synchronous or not.

> Sure, in the current Haskell that's true. In previous iterations of Haskell this wasn't always the case though

That may or may not be technically true but it's not really informative or relevant - Haskell has had monadic I/O for over 20 years and the overwhelming majority of Haskell users have never used any other kind.
no, this is probabilistic logic based on my experience
