For a wider context on current/future state of cinema and TV, I read this choice quote in a WSJ article[0] yesterday:

“Hollywood has taken notice that younger generations are spending less time consuming movies and television. A recent study by Deloitte said that Gen Zers—defined as ages 14 to 24—prefer playing videogames, listening to music, browsing the internet and scrolling through social media in their leisure time over watching movies and TV at home. Every older generation ranked movies and TV as their top entertainment option.”

Currying is nice but in practice it’s rather esoteric in the JavaScript ecosystem. I’ve only seen currying being used (if at all) when transforming data with utility libraries like ramda[1]. What makes it worse it that partial application is rather cumbersome to type.

Lucky for us there is a partial application proposal, albeit still in stage 1, which makes partial application—to make functions curried—a lot easier[2].

Part of the problem is that writing a script is a logistical problem as well as a writing problem.

You have to account for actors maybe not being available, scenes getting cut, action scenes being shot early for various reasons which means you have to retrofit them into the story you're writing, some actors being so expensive that any retake you shoot with them has to be justified, etc.

In a book you can afford to write a plot where every little detail matters. In a big budget movie, you need to keep to the broad strokes, because course-correction is expensive.
I can vouch for this. I have returned items a year later. Without original packaging. Without a receipt. They gave me my money back no questions asked and they were even friendly about it.
Only the most pedantic arsehole would assume that money given to someone doesn't count as 'salary'
Wikipedia says "also known as" which does a lot of heavy lifting. It's known as that externally because of UK government policy in the early days of the nation. This was because they felt recognising the name of the country as Ireland would be recognising claims over Northern Ireland. Other UK variations such as "the Irish Republic", "the Irish Free State" and "Eire" (no fada, in the English language, which is unfortunate as in the Irish language dropping the fada makes it the word for burden) stuck less elsewhere. Since the good friday agreement the UK government has dropped that refusal and similarly the Irish government has used the "and Northern Ireland" bit of the UK's full name.

The one Irish national entity to use the name Republic of Ireland is the football team, which does so as a result of a FIFA ruling as the Northern Ireland football team was the defacto successor of the pre independence football team so kept the name Ireland until FIFA insisted on the disambiguating names.

Look, in a informal context nobody is going to bite your head off for getting it wrong. It's not at the level of going around Zimbabwe talking about Rhodesia, both due to the lower phonetic distance and subsequent outcomes for both countries after British rule, but it comes from the same place. Which is why just this week the normally soft spoken President of Ireland was issuing a rebuke to the DUP for rendering his title as "President of the Republic of Ireland" in the context of a diplomatic dispute. Because it's just not the name of the country.
Bestline does not work without a libc, you can just open the main c file and see that it’s full of libc #includes.
If rental income dries up in rent-controlled properties in Berlin, this will be a sign of such an enormous macroeconomic shift, that losses from this deal will be insignificant compared to everything else.
Seriously, this is unrealistic scenario.
Beautifully hypocritical for a dictator like putin to cry foul considering how much work he put into getting Trump elected and re-elected.

I hope one of navalny’s family members cuts putin’s cock off and shove it up his commie ass.

Putin and his entire family should be skinned alive on rt.com

Funny really. democants think putin is evil because of trump where republicrats think he is evil because of religion.
Ironically with currys the only option that seemed possible was to cancel.
Good catch. I'll implement this.
Nice explanation, however I don't really see the use case for currying yet. If you want functions with fixed arguments, you could also just create a new function that calls the other with a fixed first argument and just takes the other arguments. Am I missing something?
...and to be honest, Swift doesn't bring much to the table when just glueing macOS frameworks together (and that's what most macOS applications actually do). Such code is completely dominated by the (quite verbose - both in ObjC and Swift) framework calls.
Plus, it is likely untrue as well. I am a kid from behind the Iron Curtain and I met quite a bit of Marxist thinking in the real world, including former Communist ideologues (I mean, people who were paid by the Central Committee to develop and spread the ideology full time, not just amateurs). But HN does not seem to be "mostly Marxist", though there are a few "eat the rich" commenters, as everywhere; but definitely a minority.

American Reddit seems, on average, quite a lot more left leaning than HN. I guess programmers are too individualist to be attracted to Marxism en masse. Also, highly paid employees tend to feel the brunt of the current Western taxation policy, because they have fewer loopholes to use and they tend to live in high CoL areas at the same time.
Unfortunately the primary maintainers of GIMP basically have an attitude of "we want to do it our way, and at our pace", and are not willing to accept any patches outside of that pattern.

Which is both a blessing and a curse - on the one hand, consistency, on the other hand, not welcoming to people who want to try something different.
What you describe is currying.
The last point is all that counts. Nobody cares about Corona infections if they don’t fill up hospitals or cause Long COVID.
They did announce a new virus when it became clear it wasn’t SARS. Then most countries did nothing about it for months.

> Taiwan controls the world supply of advanced microprocessors,

If I'm to be bet on this: the USA will put TMSC onto cargo ships (including the staff) and take it back to to the USA long before they get involved in a drawn out shooting war.

And, when that happens, Taiwan is - as you so brutaly pointed out - in the same boat as Ukraine.
This is really stupid. So you can use your hard drive only in the first computer.
I've used LoadForge before for stress testing:

https://loadforge.com

I found it a good middle-ground between DIY tools like "hey" and the likes of JMeter and K6.

LoadForge is really just a frontend for Locust [2] behind the scenes so all tests are written in Python which might not fit your requirement for Go/Rust, but it's affordable and quick to get started with.

It doesn't work. It didn't work for Australia and NZ. It just fuels racism and police abuse. What works is vaccinate as many people as possible even from poorer nations.

The disease was already in curculation in Europe and the US when we found out about it.

> subtle enough that you can't mic-drop them in a conversation and expect to overcome the standard "but it's standard" objection in favor of IPSEC.

I wonder if we shouldn't standardize something very similar to wireguard as a general successor of ipsec.

Something like wireguard + iana/ietf considerations.
Knowing important utility libraries and toolchain of the language is important and it differs significantly between languages.

That would be unfortunate for Infineon who create the majority of TPM chips. Who’s going to be the gatekeeper who decides who can create TPM chips and what’s going to happen when a new manufacturer wants to enter the stage?
Ultra minimal but I don't see a single mention of how big it is. Not even what size USB stick I need. I do see it can be burned to DVD so I assume it is larger than 700mb which is not very minimal IMO.

Edit: download is 945mb.

"Both Debian and Ubuntu end up with 500 Mb to 750 Mb in their "minimal" installations, even after starting with the "netinstall" iso or "business card" iso and no optional packages installed later on in the installation process. The Debian "netinstall" is a 180 Mb download, and the "biz card" iso is 50 Mb."
In Berlin property market is heavily regulated. Same property under different legal conditions may have 50% spread in price for which it can be sold. City is currently buying at a price not available to ordinary investors in order to offer rents significantly below the market. And it is still an ok deal for sellers, which purchased it much cheaper.
Terraform is not the golden hammer
You can, but the total output is not the same as that ‘consumed’ and the importance in this context is the influence, not the sheer output.

For example, it could be that 10% of the films on that list are produced but never released (studio dumps, legal issues between producers and creatives, etc).

Just look at the USA box office impact of Black Widow, and Shang-Chi. Only two films but a huge proportion of post-covid box office revenue.
For a long time I had the suspicion that Big Tech creates products that are only profitable because they externalize most of the cost factors on users or society, and your post confirms this.

Facebook also always argues that „sorry having humans monitor all Facebook posts would mean we would go out of business!“

Well, then maybe you should go out of business? :-)

Or at least have gotten too big and should be split up?
The partial application proposal looks reasonable and intuitive. Definitely something I would use. Is there any prior art (other languages etc.)?

Mh, it's already 4 years old. What a shame.
I welcome these because it is all the same problems with Google Glass + a bunch of others.

This obviously goes too far and we might even get some sane legislation out of this.
I actually enjoy not having to type []@ all over the place. :)
Corporations have better way to gauge the opinion of the silent majority.
European (decent) consumer rights are against the retailer. The warranty is almost a politeness. But amazon often denies being the retailer, who may be a random name abroad. This completely undermines the consumer rights to quality and durability and any future right to repair. Retailers that actually stand behind their goods get forced out. This is the really corrosive part of their business model in my opinion.
My guess is, we'll just skip the "wifi required" phase and go straight to "lte/5g/ring connectivity built-in". It's already like this with cars.

I can easily image a future where it's not even advertised anymore whether your device has a cloud connection or not - you just find its behaviour has magically changed one day.

I also expect other manufacturers to follow Amazon's example and create their own "ring" networks. So your Samsung TV might connect to the neighbor's Galaxy phone which is logged into their wifi, etc...
I am an edpnet customer in a rural area and my peak DL speed is 18 Mbps (long distance VDSL) in an era of Gbps but as a consolation I do not pay much. I could get 400 Mbps with anoter ISP but the price increase is significant. I enjoy good DL speeds at my work place.
Stallman would approve! If I recall correctly this is how he browses all of the Internet.
Yes, it's always been possible to get some kind of string from datetimes, but I specifically care about specifying what string, same with parsing. "Just use a locale's default" might work if you're making a web app for clients who aren't picky, but using JS as a "serious" language it's a really big hole. There's plenty of formats that demand non-ISO date formats and I currently need to use a third-party library. I've gotten used to than in JS, but I was hoping a new take on dates will sort this out. Oh well, I'll have to just hope it makes it to v2: https://github.com/js-temporal/proposal-temporal-v2.
It sends an email when you have been unsubscribed containing the rss link, if you wanted to subscribe for another 90 days you can reply to the email and it should subcribe again.

I had initially set it to 30 days but that got annoying. Before I set it to 90 I was considering making it more intelligent as you mentioned, an exponential backoff retry mechanism, but then I decided I was overcomplicating things and the server usage is almost nothing at the moment. :)

As for your other question, it only sends what is available via the RSS feed, I've been considering adding the ability for it to pull in more content, but I think that would be a separate service, like an RSS proxy which created another RSS feed containing more contents, people could then subscribe via that link or the original. Maybe that already exists?
Would love to hear more about this. I use GNUstep and follow MulleObjC.

So 32 bit platforms is the goal???

Can you make a list of like top 10 reasons to use ObjFW instead of Foundation?
I see, that makes sense.

The advantage of a web app is that it can be distributed in any number of ways though. It's trivial to take it and re-host it on different servers, as an onion service, or go the full decentralized route with IPFS or similar.
So is this app using some other protocols that aren't DNS/http(s) that would make it immune to a dns level block? Because a native app that makes http calls is just as easy to block as a pwa
There's nothing wrong with it - it's just not giving credit back properly that I have an issue with.

Pretty much the entire thing is taken from OSM and there isn't a single mention of that on any of those pages.

(and as I understand it, Slow Ways haven't contributed back their changes to OSM which is required by the OSM license).
Hmm, it's a hard question. Maybe eventually the blackboard gets completely erased, all the legos get taken back apart and we can't tell what they used to be before. I don't think that means it was all for nothing. I'm inclined to think of our activities as part of a learning process, or a dream, or a game. The universe is going through its permutations and we're watching.

If you're struggling with life seeming meaningless, please let me suggest that how life seems is not so much a matter of circumstances as training. Sometimes people explain this idea by saying the world is like a mirror of the mind. Change the mind, change how the world looks.

The way I like to train is using meditation. The specific method I use is described in this free book:

The amount of bullshit in this post… wow. China doesn’t give a fuck about US mainland.
Scala has partially applied functions that use a very similar idiom
I don't think it's worth comparing it with Adobe, since the developers have never really competed with it. It's its own thing, and the decisions and development roadmap stand on their own.

Cinepaint got stuck as the fork diverged increasingly from the mainline code. They ended up on with a branch of GIMP 1.0.x using GTK+ 1.x, and the porting effort to bring it up-to-date with the GIMP mainline and GTK+ 2.x was insurmountable. I wasn't aware of the switch to FLTK, but last I looked FLTK was indeed primitive and dated. But very functional.

The Cinepaint developers had very specific commercial priorities, somewhat at odds with the GIMP developers, and if porting to FLTK got them a working product to satisfy their needs, I can certainly see that being a reasonable choice. If anything, it really makes a point toward the maintainability of C GTK+ applications (many of us have been there; I ported over to C++/Qt myself).

So is McDonald's every time they advertise and sell any of their garbage product. And yet we recognize that it is important that people make up their own minds than do 'what is right', because it is not our place to determine what is right for them.

The most common case I’ve seen is when you want to map using 'point free' style functions, i.e. “x.map(transformItem)”[1]. Another (more) common scenario—but not yet relevant in JavaScript—is piping/composing functions[2].

These movies exist because audiences keep paying money to see CGI explodium with cliched plots and writing. These are cash cow movies generated on a production line with fungible components where the cows are the audiences.

Hollywood can do better when it wants to. But visual SF is a nostalgic cliche-saturated form now, and original ideas are High Risk and unlikely to get the green light unless they're being pushed hard by a big name director. And sometimes not even then.
I got tired of doing that every month.
"Copying the best parts of a proven system while dropping the worst parts" is a good method of achieving progress.

To a degree, most modern programming languages do just that - inspire themselves in ye olde K&R C of the 1970s heavily, but dropping the parts that made the code unsafe or impractical.

I can't accept that, and no one should.
When you say "no evidence", what sort of evidence do you expect? The reason we generally run trials for many years is to gather evidence.

There was "no evidence" for the vaccines causing Myocarditis when they were rolled out. Now there's strong evidence and the concerns are growing. This trial reported Myocarditis rates at 1:1000 in a group with median age 33:

This is three times higher than what the FDA estimated for the highest risk group (males aged 16-17), based on VAERS data:

As for neurodegeneration, there is a concern that Codon-optimization[2] used for mRNA vaccines[3] can trigger it. It's simply not possible to gather evidence of that in the current approval timeframe, we just assume that the risk outweighs the benefit, come hell and high water. That may be a reasonable assumption for at-risk groups, but not for everyone.

It's obviously true that superhero films make a lot of money. I'm saying nevertheless, other films are produced, and it's possible to watch them, and thus "I wish other things were being produced" isn't a very reasonable complaint. Unless you're under some obligation to only watch high-earning movies. If people watched the non-superhero movies rather than complaining about their non-existence, maybe we'd get more of them.
