The amount of complexity, bugs, and security vulnerabilities in modern software is already at a staggering level purely due to non-easter-eggs. Not only will allowing the developers to occasionally have some fun help them to be more engaged (and produce higher-quality software as a result), but a well-implemented easter egg touches a highly localized portion of the system and won't introduce any of the above in the first place.

You also need to take "word" with a grain of salt, since we're dealing with a highly polysynthetic language. Many of those "words" would be substantial chunks of sentences to speakers of most other languages, with elements we'd think of as "words" being reduced to, say, a vowel or a vowel change in one of the other "word" elements. Language is really, really neat.
Yep, “breaking news” used to mean “major disaster” or item of major import.

Now it just means “something we found out happening now and don’t have a lot of information about, but a couple of Tweeters “report” blah blah blah…
The two things are different though.

Maintaining a position is not the same as building a position. If Barksdale is right then the existing players in a market need to work to ensure that they can't lose market share from new entrants.
Depends what you mean by "us." If it means any engineer, engineers build everything shitty in tech.

If a larger percentage of "us" are repulsed by facebook, it just means that they have to pay more. There's always hundreds of "us" willing to do anything for anybody; I'm sure somebody is helping some Syrian warlord with the spreadsheet keeping track of the books for his open air slave market, and designing a distributed facial recognition network to track the movements and contacts of political dissidents.

i.e. there's no useful "us" except when we're talking about craft.

Reader beware. Don't take unsubstantiated claims (such as this article) as fact.

As someone who spends five figures daily on FB, I saw no such drop in performance -- nor have other advertisers I've been in touch with.

Performance on FB (especially at low volumes) is highly volatile on a day-over-day basis. So, at any time, there will always be a subset of advertisers who think "CPA's are skyrocketing". And, it's easy to draw the conclusion that the pattern is platform-wide.

The "accelerated delivery" that Facebook quoted in its response only applied to the remainder of the day that the outage took place -- not future days as the article suggests.
Sorry, I mean a little room on the credit card for the initial spending.

I think it depends on your goals. I am with you for writing assembly. For reading compiler generated coder however, I think windows is ideal as a starting point because you don't often get spoiled by the availability if source code and debugging symbols.
I think that is probably exactly what it is
The current plan is to have runtime support for effects in 5.0, but without a syntax nor an effect type system. Those two will come later in the 5.x branch. The aim is to decouple the switch to the multicore runtime from the design of the typed effect system. In the interim period, effect handlers would be exposed through an experimental module (exposed through an experimental module (see https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/multicore-ocaml-september-2021-e...) to allow early experimentation.

“Nothing is True and Everything is Possible.”

Objective truth always exists. It’s just a matter of gathering the data to refine our perceptions and mental models to match.
I'm sure politicians and others enjoy the low levels of trust, but I think (to your point) this has been brought on by the media's own rejection of aspirations of objectivity and neutrality.

As some love to say, "[perfect] objectivity and neutrality are impossible [so the media is right in going full-on activist]". The media is having a firesale on its own credibility, and the "proceeds" are going to specific ideological causes to the detriment of society as a whole (what good can possibly come from an ideology which explicitly and routinely condemns objectivity, neutrality, rigor, etc?).

Does the fact that more rich do it mean it's wrong? Or that low and middle income should use it as a model and the practice should be encouraged? I mean, if private citizens can build themselves up without being beholden to social security and Wall Street - why is this bad?

What if - instead of the government keeping us to the lowest common denominator (social security) they encourage, educate, and allow everyone to be their highest common denominator?
I feel a very strong low tide in the general publics withdrawal of their support of many institutions. Where is all that energy previously occupied going to go?
Blame the free market. In 2020 5% of solar power produced in California was curtailed as in not supplied to the grid because it was unneeded.

Baseline power is no longer desirable because California regularly has a large surplus of renewable energy which drops the spot price of electricity to ~zero. Reducing nuclear capacity factor almost 1:1 increases prices which means solar adoption kicks out nuclear very early without massive subsides.

Even that’s a simplification they actually price things based on nodes due to limited transmission infrastructure. http://www.caiso.com/pricemap/Pages/default.aspx
This seems like it's covered under 3 and 9a. Mr. A has a demand for X and Mr. B has a demand for Y. Wealth can be created by a combination of 3 (making whatever it is they have a demand for) and 9a (creating a marketplace that matches their demands with whoever can supply them).
The way I see it is that everyone should eat well and also improve their diet with vitamins, covid or no covid. Seems like a no brainer to me.

Perhaps the avid reader would say that they are most disappointed in papers like the NYT. You cannot really be disappointed by FOX or CNN. Different medium, but I think it still applies.
>The loudest critics of social media are the old vanguards of news who are upset that the new kid on the block took their ad money.

Also activists who are clearly engaging in motivated reasoning in arguing that Facebook needs to do more to censor conservative opinions.
I mentioned it in my post. Facebook has a near-monopoly on social media networks. If a new one comes up, they'll just buy it. Obvious outlier is Tiktok right now, remains to be seen what happens with them though.
Literally. What a silly website. If they actually wanted to affect anything they should be encouraging people to delete their accounts.

We have a generation of 'reporters' who never knew the old way of journalism. Dispatches from flagship news outlets disclose no awaress they're doing their jobs in a tragically wrongheaded manner.
I've said it before, but I'll throw it in here too -

Apple is going to lose this fight in basically every market except the US.

It's very clear that their behavior is rent-seeking. If their product (the app store) is genuinely better for users & companies - it should be able to out compete other products (alternative app stores) on the platform.

Instead they arbitrarily prohibit any competition what-so-ever.

I think this a solution in search of a problem. Using some open source text editors these days you can print to ebook formats (ePub, etc.) and both Kindle Direct Publishing (doesn't require ISBN even) and Blurb are two very popular routes to self-publish your works and already come baked in with print-on-demand services at no cost to the author.
That's basically what the Stratechery story above argues as well, but the key is that makes Facebook a convenient whipping boy that both sides can hate.
Generally, it's true. If Apple blocked nothing, how many flashlight apps that also mine bitcoin would be installed?
It's all click bait now, from whatever side, crafted to generate outrage.

News media is sold to the general public below cost to drive eyeballs to advertising. As the saying goes, the general public aren't the customer, they're the product.
Double digit percentage was my sense-making interpretation.
Yes, and the same goes for information about the WiFi network. Lots of apps for IoT devices require this information to set up products, but the OS presents this as location tracking.
Their assertion that this affects low and middle income people is absurd.
The blend of activism and journalism is the crux of the problem. In Canada the state-run news organization CBC knows they have low trust, however can't admit their role in it. About once a year they write an op-ed talking about the best ways to use legislation to fix the problem. This is the same state-run media company that said objectivity is "potentially harmful": https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sunday/the-sunday-edition-for-july-...

This claims to be providing a reason people distrust vaccines, but is really just a list of cases where a conservative is exposed to bad media (it's framed as an "anybody" being exposed to bad media). It ignores the cases where a conservative is exposed to good media, a liberal is exposed to bad media, and a liberal is exposed to good media. Being exposed to bad media is the reason for the vast majority of political distrust on all sides. Vaccines aren't special in this regard, but this writeup is using it as an excuse to paint a picture for political points, and thereby contribute to bad media.

Dude thanks for that, first time I've heard that band, instant fan.
Based only on the timing, it appears the initial drug development (which pre-dates COVID - drug was developed to treat other infections) was funded by the government. Ridgeback licensed the drug, then ran COVID trials. Merck then licensed it and plans to market and produce it.

The COVID trials had costs. Marketing had/has costs. But do those costs come anywhere near 40x the production cost? That I don't know, but I doubt it.

As you note, the government should retain some ownership in drugs it funds. Or, the contract language should ensure the drug is sold for a reasonable cost. That would prevent this from happening.

Absolutely. I’m a huge Emacs fan and org-mode still feels too complicated for me.
I'm actually pretty fiscally conservative but I think it's ridiculous that someone abused the intent of a Roth IRA by accumulating $5 billion into it.

The whole purpose of IRAs is to encourage regular people to save for retirement. It was not meant to provide billionaires tax loopholes to avoid paying millions or even billions of dollars in taxes.

It's kind of like playing a game with someone. 99% of the people are following the rules and then some weisenheimer comes up with an idea that while technically not breaking a rule goes against the spirit of everything that the game stands for. What happens in that instance is the other players of the game will say, "Nice try, but no." This is what Congress is doing.
Nick Clegg is more than facebook's head of PR, he's their spirit animal.
It's interesting how willing folks in tech are to say “if you're not paying, you're the product” when it comes to apps or social networks, but then turn around and sneer at news paywalls. If you're not willing to pony up a few bucks for subscriptions, of course you'll get sensationalized and click-driven news, that's the business model you voted for with your wallet.

(I'll plug ProPublica, though. They do good work as a non-profit, including a series on TurboTax that has put political heat on the company's practices)
It's not a simple assessment at all. Thankfully medical researchers have studied millions of people and published the results, so we know with certainty that the risk of Covid is far greater than the risk of the vaccine.

I understand why it seems scary, but almost half of all humans have gotten a Covid vaccine, some of them almost a year ago.

We have really, really good data.

I think we have different notions of "clickbait". Personally I think NYT's particular brand of dishonesty is a bit more subtle than what I normally think of as "clickbait", but I won't argue the point. They are certainly and frequently guilty of publishing overt falsehoods and then quietly retracting (or even stealth-editing) days or weeks later.
I suspect it was percentage. Which is true, Facebook does pay quite a bit more for a lot of roles, and has more flexible working opportunities. Note I do NOT work there but I do have friends who try and get me to join their teams.

> Under these provisions, you would no longer be allowed to invest your IRA into private placements and single-member LLCs, regardless of your level of income or wealth.

> This will result in significant tax consequences for many people, including low and middle-income investors.

BS! In order to legally invest in private placements, you must be a "accredited investor" which means you earn over $200k individually or $300k jointly. If you're making over $200k, you're not middle class AT ALL. You're solidly in the top 10% of the country and likely much higher. This provision will have almost zero impact on middle class America

Given the relatively low cap on IRA contributions, it's not directly an issue of income, but rather your access to high-return investments like early-stage stock options.

Of course, someone with lots of investments will have the luxury of just making the highest-payoff ones with their IRA funds.

Independently, in the rest of the bill [1] there are lots of reasonable things like a $10 million IRA cutoff limit.

I made some further research today because i wonderd myself. I think the number of generated programs is higher then my estimation. I assess that the number of not generated programs are in the ballpark of 500k and the number of transparent database tables around 300k. The rest of the are views defined on the database but not transparent table.

The numbers are smaller than initially given, but still big enough for not being handled with unstructured databases.
Thanks for your advices.
I have been making games for three years, I don't make more than 10$ but I have never thought that I was wasting my time. I like it very much and I know that I learn a lot. Maybe in the future I will be working for a great company, but first I need a few games that I will be able to show off during my job interview.
So, progressively since probably the 1980s (maybe earlier?) Australia has introduced a system called "superannuation" (or just "super" for short). There are two parts to this:

1. Mandatory contributions: currently 10% of your income; and

2. Voluntary contributions: you can contribute more and get a lower tax rate for doing so. By comparison, 401k contributions are tax free. Voluntary super contributions are not.

This is intended to fund people's retirements to alleviate the upcoming strain on the Aged Pension just like the issues with Social Security. That is, in 10-20 years there'll be <3 working people per retired person.

Australia's super requirements are stricter (eg currently you cannot withdraw before 65; 401k is 59.5). There are other differences.

Anyway, super is generally in mutual funds and the like. But there is an option for Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs).

This is where you can basically run your own fund. You need to get audited, pay fees, have an investment strategy, etc. Generally these are used to invest in things you can't through mutual funds. And this is abused to invest in residential real estate (because, you know, it always goes up).

I generally think this system has been a disaster and shouldn't be allowed. It's to protect people from themselves, basically.

For example, super investments can't be leveraged but through SMSF shenanigans I've seen balances wiped out by effective leveraging.

Also, you'll see marriages where one spouse's super balance is used by another in a bad manner and then the marriage breaks down and this just adds to the financial disadvantage and stress of that spouse. I imagine this is particularly an issue in the case of psychologically abusive marriages.

So I'm for any reform that restricts IRAs and 401ks from these one man shops.
Stock buybacks and M&A function similarly to dividends in that they return money to shareholders from corporate profits.

You don't need to distribute dividends to give money back to shareholders.
Just so people are aware, high income individuals can’t use IRAs. This is a direct action against middle to low income individuals.

There's some decent reasons provided in the article, but you have to be willing to at least be empathetic to them.

It's owned by PG&E, and the public trust in that company is extremely low. They do not maintain things, that lack of maintanence has caused fires and deaths. I would think that would translate into what could be happening at the nuclear plant as well.

They are in California which, from time to time, has earthquakes. After the Fukishima incident, people have seen what kind of things can happen. Knowing who owns the plant should give pause when considering what could happen when those factors are added together.
