Yes, absolutely!

This may be nostalgia talking, but I loved (most) of my Blackberry devices. Certainly in the earlier part of its ascent, through to its heyday, it was indisputably the best at what it was supposed to do: emails (and messaging more generally).

I was able to type much better on my BB, although these days I'd miss the multi-lingual autocorrect of a SwiftKey. But not BBs were made the same: I remember upgrading my BB once to a newer, fancier model (I have long forgotten the designations) but its keyboard felt inferior to me. Keyboard feel is subjective of course, but I that one was a big step backward in my enjoyment of typing. I quickly switched to a newer model.

At one point I was forced to an HTC Blackberry-lookalike. I think it was a Windows phone, and while it looked similar, it was infinitely worse to use. I was happy when I could go back to a Blackberry again, and I kept using them until the last servers were switched off at my company.

I could be on the road for a few days without taking a charger too. I would only pack a charger for longer trips... but that had started to erode towards the end too.

Blackberry had a long afterlife in Indonesia; it must have been around 2014 or 2015 when I visited Jakarta and the one phone to have was a Blackberry, presumably due to its network-effect lock on the messaging market.

Meanwhile my Samsung's battery is down to 53% barely halfway through the day.

I am well aware of von Neumann's works and achievements and mentioned just computing because that is what the HN crowd mostly knows him for. But really, do we want to look for ethical advice from a guy who worked on explosives for the military and then moved on to bring about the most destructive weapons that have ever existed? He then went further and helped make them even more destructive. He imo was one of the people directly responsible for the destruction of the islands in the pacific. His morals to me were clearly twisted.

I can still look up to him as an incredibly brilliant mathematician, computer scientist and engineer without conflating that with him being a good and/or wise human being.

I mostly agree about the point about not basing our views on fiction. I just wanted to point out that of all scientists, of which there are many brilliant ones, there are far better choices for sources of ideas on the ethics of technology. Smarts != Wisdom.
Facebook has done impressive things with PHP, but they are one single entity. WordPress is an entire ecosystem with millions of users, and while Facebook changing their underlying stuff wouldn't be noticed by most, I can assure you there would be a large amount of people who noticed if WordPress decided to switch to ASP.NET or something.
Depends if those ideas were already present in "Design and Evolution of C++" or not, and how much haters actually care to read C++ mailing papers.
I'm not sure what the point here is other than that bans are annoying? Also, I don't think it was suggested to use a classification system with no bans?
Mistakes Founders Make with Vision, Mission and Values
All of those points seem invalid to me when you consider that people have the option for custodial multi-signature systems and time-delays etc. If you want certain behaviour you can do it, often without giving a corrupt organisation complete control over your money

Further, many people live in countries where the people simply cannot trust their institutions or the value of their currencies, to the point where they are better off storing USD under their mattress, so the technology should be there for those people
that sounds incredibly interesting actually, great work
You do see how that is clearly a tautology, right?
DWD is quite unrestricted. Data is also processed, mixed with different models and many weather variables are calculated afterwards using other models. It is not showing raw data directly.

As far as I interpret terms correctly, I have to indicate that I am using open-data from DWD, but for value added services, this attribution is not required for all applications using it. I will do some additional research in this regard, whether applications using Open-Meteo should also display a disclaimer.

Actually SwiftKey in multiple languages helps me write in the ones I am less fluent in, due to its autocorrect. I agree it can be annoying too... you have to be careful with activating languages, and I switch off the languages I am unlikely to use in the near future.

Still miss my BB though.

Edited to add: unlike other commenters here, I never use the glide feature in Swiftkey! I just use it as a better keyboard...

Yep exactly, but without requiring monkeypatching or operator hacks. Basically sorta like what C# does.

I agree with you but see another relevant reason: in FP, you HAVE to consider side effects 1) from the beginning and 2) completely, which as anyone can guess is quite a task.

In imperative you can just ignore it and produce objectively worse code, as you are not even aware of all side effects possible. And sure, for the LED project it wouldn't even matter, but the decision FP vs imperative is then more of a design / quality criterion in general - the notion of one being better than the other is just wrong.

Also a monad is much more complicated if you don't really understand it which makes judging it a bit unfair
When you try to start your own channel on YouTube, or get viral in any form, you realise just how true of a ponzy scheme it is. Even original, well created work is hidden until someone grabs it and runs with it.

Easiest way for that to happen? Spam. Lots of spam. Instagram audiences aren't fickle, or at least they're not deterred by playing the game. They are extremely easy to offend though, and follow very serious moral trains. i.e. the head of the dragon changes directions fast but the body keeps in toe regardless of how they feel.

Just click on any of the top trending videos on Reddit or YouTube, you'll see a bunch of familiar faces saying the following. The more niche the topic, the more niche the channel spammers.

I mean if pure FP is enough to write imperative code as well then the distinction between the two doesn't seem all that important to me. What would be a non-imperative equivalent to illustrate your idea?
Not sure the distinction is relevant in a country with such a small intelligence community:

"The Israeli Unit 8200 An OSINT-based study"
https://css.ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/special-interest/gess/c...

"Most of this data is shared internally across the
IDF (as well as sometimes externally, cf. 3.3 below) to
the Unit’s relevant stakeholders, whether combat
troops, decision-makers or other intelligence agencies
such as Mossad. Or as Yair Cohen, who served 33 years
in Unit 8200, the last five (2001–05) as its commander,
put it, "90% of the intelligence material in Israel is
coming from 8200 […] there isn't a major operation,
from the Mossad or any intelligence security agency,
that 8200 is not involved in"

>"...Mossad, on the other hand, is a civilian intelligence service and I'm told there's a strong tradition that its members don't freelance their services after leaving..."

Tradition is not what it used to be:

1. It's weird because it's different. It's different is because it's on the other branch of the skillsets most people used to for years.

2. To learn things on the other branch, people need to unlearn until they reach the common ancestor node.

3. Unlearn is a form of subtraction. Humans suck at subtraction, be it learning things, making products, or just the human civilization itself - it's even easier for it to collapse and start over.

It's the same idea that Japanese is much harder to learn than German: Because it assumes the learner speaks English, while Chinese people that don't speak English would mostly find Japanese is much easier.
The fact that you linked so many different companies is evidence that this wasn't just some push by a single company. Those things happened in parallel because the language was popular and is evidence of a vibrant community more than anything else. Being popular means many will want to make things with it yes, saying that it got popular since many people did things with it doesn't make sense.
Right, in certain cases. But here it's a networking application. So memory accesses won't be your bottleneck.
Made script that automates this:

1. rsync to USB disk into snapshot/ (with global and per-directory filters)

2. on USB disk, borg from snapshot/ to borg/

3. rclone borg/ to multiple object storages (e.g. B2)

"USB disk" refers to LUKS-encrypted ext4 partition on USB attached rotating hard drive. I use this for my PC and some remote servers (rsync can pull over ssh).
Apple rushes to block 'zero-click' iPhone spyware
> That the programming paradigm that takes so hard to not expose concepts like RAM or a program counter isn't how computers think?

Are you somehow under the mistaken impression that OOP does this? What happens in C++ when you have exhausted the heap and you try to new() an object? Have you ever done pointer arithmetic in Java?
Firstly, I don't think the West is that much against rebuilding, especially when the original was suddenly and tragically destroyed: just look at all the restored old city centers of Europe. This is more akin to healing a wound (of societal memory) to its original state.

However the stance is rather different for reviving long lost buildings, mostly coming from the architecture/archeological scene, not the general public. Their (kinda valid) argument is that these developments can never ever be authentic, and restoring them is anachronistic, driven by nationalism, and the goal is often to restore not only the place but the views of that time. A modern work - that would play homage, or provide a different new meaning - is viewed as actual progression.

I will! I don’t think they should leave it ruined, but something was definitely lost in the fire. Like a post above said, I do take please and feel connection by looking at a makers mark or accidental slip of the chisel in something built 1000 years ago. It’s the detail and closeness of past lives that we experience from original artefacts that gives their value, to me.
Which kind of makes sense, but then again I learned OOP in college, I always found it really hard to remember all those design patterns they made us learn. Years going on in programming I never really saw any big advantage of OOP hierarchies and spreading one function into 15 different files (yay for the person debugging this).

Then I found out what we call OOP is just a misunderstanding. Erlang kind of did "proper" OOP and that makes sense.

Then I got to functional programming through F# (and Scott Wlaschin's amazing page F# fsharpforfunandprofit.com), and it just immediately clicked. Maybe because Scott's material is so good. But also because there's not so much non-sense boilerplate and extra complexity as you see in every "good" OOP example.
Languages do not becomes successful due to their intrinsic qualities. Languages become successful when they are coupled to a successful platform. E.g. C became popular because Unix became popular, JavaScript became popular because of the browser, Objective-C became popular because of the iPhone and so on.

Therefore observing that a language or paradigm is popular or unpopular does not say anything about whether it is good or bad. JavaScript is the most popular language in the world. If Netscape had decided to use a Scheme-like language or a BASIC-like language it would still be the most popular language in the world. So paradigm has nothing to do with it.

Functional programming is less popular because no major successful platform has adopted a functional language as the preferred language.

I don't buy that functional languages are unpopular because they are unintuitive. Losts of stuff in JavaScript is highly unintuitive. It didn't prevent it from becoming the most popular language in the world. People will learn what they need to learn to get the job done.

I believe in plenty of things, they just happen to be real, too, which makes it so much better. I believe in justice, for example. I believe in honesty. I believe in a few individuals whom I have a deep connection with. I believe in the beauty I can find everywhere if I just look at just about anything that, as Sophia Scholl said, wasn't created by humans. I never wake up in the middle of the night wondering whether my belief in those and more things is misplaced and just a substitute for something I'm lacking, they're the real deal. That's priceless to me.

I think where the maintenance is continuous that has a different quality. Places in Japan are often like this - yes everything has been replaced, but primary timbers etc have not … there is continuity.

I think there is a strong analogy to personal identity here too. All the cells in our body are replaced, but we are still Ourselves! If too much were to be transplanted at once, or things we consider too fundamental, the suffer identity worries.

With you on that for sure, but after years of seeing it the return on HTML emails good and bad is still just too good to ignore. Still great marketing return etc. And with mobile having evolved the way it has and even browser engines/mail clients becoming much more adept, HTML emails (designing them obviously still painful but it's marginally better than 10 years ago), are still working for millions of ppl. And I suppose that leads into some of what this deal is about (other reasons being integration and data etc)

This sounds a lot like my own experiences growing up. We started homeschooling when I was in 3rd grade, and I used Saxon math. When I reached highschool, in nearly all my subjects I had weekly classes taught by other parents with specific domain knowledge, with other students---anywhere from 3 to 10 or so per class. We had ten of us in chemistry, and 16 or so in biology, both with labs. For physics and calculus I found a tutor, a local homeschooling dad who was an electrical engineering university professor, and I had a local Anglican pastor as my Greek tutor.

I found that a solid elementary school foundation from my parents, combined with weekly classes and individual tutoring during highschool, was excellent preparation for my university studies.
i guess that would also be interesting because the tradition connects us to the past. I wonder if it would be as tactile though… perhaps it’s a more cerebral type of connection, rather than the visceral appeal of something worn and weathered.
