But C/C++, Ada, and Haskell were never intended to be introductory programming languages! Complaining about them violating rules for introductory languages is judging them by the wrong standard. (Yes, I know, instructors have tried to use them as introductory languages. That isn't the fault of the languages, though...)
Apps that refuse to function unless you provide them permissions they have no business asking for should be banned.
The larger the budget, the more sophisticated the teams and the methodology. Also, more players eager to accuse marketing of poor performance (eg: sales and revenue teams). Not sure where you made that experience, but that marketing team would get fired within a quarter at any large scale company I am familiar with. Large companies are inefficient in many ways, but not in what pays the bills.

I can see her as a spoiled brat, especially after how she (or rather her people) framed this in the media. And at the same time I can see Disney as an evil corporation scamming people.

>I doubt very much they’d have done the same to Chris Evan’s or Robert Downey Jr.

Is this supposed to be about gender? Or what is this supposed to mean? Evans got less for the latest cape movie than Johansson got for Black Widow by the way ($15M vs $20M). She was in that same movie (Avengers: Endgame) and made the same as Evans.

Disney is an evil corporation, they will try to fuck with everybody if they think they can get away with it. I am sure if Avengers: Endgame was released now and in the way Black Widow was, they'd have tried to scam Evans and Downey Jr (and Johansson too) the same way they tried to scam Johansson now. Hollywood invented Hollywood accounting to scam people (and the state) long ago. One example of who got scammed this way is Stan Lee, who sued and got awarded $10M for Spider-Man from Marvel.

There sure is a lot of sexism in Hollywood, but this isn't it, as far as I can tell.
This truly sounds like something from a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Self-taught but that's how I got started early on

This is how Pelican works https://docs.getpelican.com/en/latest/index.html
Well this guy only wants to play with friends, so he doesn’t care if everyone else in the lobby are cheaters. He isn’t playing with anyone besides his friends.

And why do you care if a lobby exists that you are never going to go to? Why does it bother you if cheaters want to use cheats against each other? As long as you don’t interact with them, I don’t understand why you would care.
Interesting POV. I've been doing "more" as described by the article, and you're right that it's not super rewarding. I like when the team acknowledges the extra points I knock out, but that's a very shallow and temporary feeling. I'll explore doing "extra" for the next few weeks.
To be honest, having read the text in the image and mindslights post I am reminded that for a "permission" system on Android (and iOS) it's basically an "all or nothing" approach.

If I agree to location, I should be allowed to select where abouts I want that to be

If I agree to files, I want to select a directory and what data it can access about those files (for example, it can't access exif from my photos, nor the file created date)

If it wants my phone log, is it okay it can take every record ever made? Even ones from years ago?

Apps can take your entire contacts list once given permission, just a simple for each loop and upload to a server. I imagine once you've granted access, even if only for 30 seconds that's enough time to parse and upload the information elsewhere.

It's incredibly worrying how giving permission you're not aware of just how much data you're essentially allowing access to, if apps were required to select more precisely what they want, for how long and why and how it will be used, more people would hopefully be encouraged to think again.

Now with cookie popups across the web everyone just clicks "accept! Take all my data please!!". And often time that data you share is about others, so even if you are careful with whom you share information with, all it takes is one person to agree to share all their records on device and your carefully controlled fortress comes crumbling down...

Sigh.

I wonder if this is an argument in favour of Python’s implicit declarations (“there are no declarations, only usages”) or against them (“there are still declarations, but they’re invisible”)?
Did you report this person? They ruin the game for everyone else.
A theory was posited, and a testable prediction was made. Since the prediction was false, the theory should be critically examined. That's the scientific method.

A critical examination of the theory which produced the incorrect prediction seems to be missing. That's the point.

It's not reasonable to point to partial fulfillment of the claim; if that was the standard of evidence, a perpetual motion enthusiast could reasonably point out that they almost broke even.

From what I've understood, the reasonable arguments on either side boil down (heh) to the rate of change, because climate varies so much naturally and we seem to be accelerating it. If the rate is not what was predicted, that's a big deal and makes this failed prediction all the more relevant.
Who remembers the ol' collect-call-to-yourself as a sign you made it home OK? I remember my family, when I was little, was mindful of the cost of phone calls to an extent that we used this trick a few times.

Interesting! I think it still updates more than once a month, but that is a significant change that I wasn't aware of, thank you.
Fake reviews are so frustratingly common now. Hotels and restaurants are obviously buying fake reviews. Go look on basically any review site and so many reviews are from accounts with only 1-5 reviews leaving VERY generic and brief reviews. You can no longer trust Yelp, Google Reviews, or any of the other travel reviews. It sucks! There needs to be a website that forces some form of review verification. We need a new Yelp. Also, if you leave a negative review businesses will do everything they can to have it taken down. I stayed at a terrible hotel a few years back and even though my review was highly reviewed, they eventually took it down for some random reason. I no longer have any faith in online reviews on any website. Word of mouth is the only thing you can rely on.
> increasing productivity

thanks for the highly productive Chinese people
Well, can't get any of this from the "free" press, so how else do we reconcile reality on the ground with its side effects. Maybe if the press actually worked on reporting news rather than pushing narratives we wouldn't have to resort to pictures from the ground. Or maybe not. Just don't be surprised if your flight gets canceled, store shelves are empty, or if you go to the hospital and nurses are on strike. "Weather" can be quite severe this time of year.
This echoes my experience as well.
I am not cheering anybody here. I am watching a very rich person fight a very rich evil company over a lot of money, while I read articles of not so rich people asking Disney and the rest of Hollywood for a proper lunch break and not having to work 17 hours a day while still barely making ends meet if at all.
I play PUBG fpp in Asia servers and there's cheaters every game. I get like 3-4 successful ban reports every time I turn on the game.

> You left out the "and they can freely leave at any time" part.

So? That doesn't excuse anything either. If my plane crashes next Jeff Bezos's Antarctic base, and he lets me in on the condition that I submit to daily sadistic beatings for his own pleasure. Does the idea that I could leave at any time (and freeze to death) make his beatings OK? Of course it doesn't.

Another excellent article from Amos digging into the minutiae of how executables work!
It won't. There are already people using AI image recognition running on a separate PC to aimbot.
I think precision also matters when dealing with large numbers. If it's 60% plus/minus 30%, not such big deal if dealing with 10 people, it'd be either 3, 6, or 9 people, a range of 6 people. But if it's plus/minus 30% when dealing with a population of 100,000,000, that's a range of 60,000,000 people.

That being said, yes, I agree there are many situations where precision doesn't matter that much and that qualifiers work sufficiently to describe the general sense of the situation. I think what actually drove me to write my precision rant was ironically where you stated that "easily" was hyperbole, which I took to mean as you believing it was not an accurate or precise enough description of the actions that might kill the grandma. Perhaps this thread wouldn't have happened if the person wrote "I might possibly kill grandma." I don't say that facetiously—I think these disagreements about the accuracy and precision of our observations of the world can lead to so much conflict, as it has for me in my life.

So, in a way, I'm grateful for you going back and forth with me, as I've learned even more deeply that while other people may seem to use too much or too little precision to me, I may use too much or too little for them.

Cloud gaming would lose practical consumers' control much more than Netflix did. At the very least, one could always point a video camera at the screen to copy video (suppose for one's own records). But with games, there is no chance to do anything like this. Netflix had an interactive Black Mirror episode called Bandersnatch(2018) that I speculated at the time was appealing from a business perspective because copying interactive content is much harder than straight video.
Anyway no one receive infinite support for hardware. For consumer perspective, Win11 is just rebranded (and upgraded) Win10 because they don't pay for upgrade.
I lived in France for years and am very familiar with all the fanciest and best quality butters from there to New Zealand.

Flamebait is irrelevant as a word anymore. It's the same thing as "troll". It used to be a great verb for a very specific thing. But since ignorance and fear of missing out on using it have meant it has lost near all meaning. The "troll" word just means anyone who you disagree with to lots of people now. Shame really. Same with flamebait. It's just anything you don't like, or might upset you. It's not actually the quality of the comment that is being criticised.
Framing Covid-19 as "autonomy versus conformity" is completely mistaken. I exercised my autonomy when I began wearing a respirator in March of 2020, back when I had to deflect questions with things like "I already had it for cleaning out the basement" lest people attack me for diverting PPE. I exercised my autonomy when I kept wearing that respirator with the check valves disabled, despite having to fight an uphill battle against authorities trying to make me remove it in favor of ersatz cloth masks (eg when visiting a hospital).

The majority of people claiming to exercise their "autonomy" or "freedom" by rejecting straightforward pandemic mitigations are doing no such thing. Rather they are taking top-down direction from a post-truth political machine that increasingly rejects uncomfortable realities, and replaces them with a reassuring narrative of being attacked. You can tell this when talking to them because rather than laying out some chain of reasoning and hoping to find a flaw in it (as curious minds are), they get to the exact same terminal talking points and act like having stated such settles the matter.

As someone who is predisposed to not follow either herd and wants everyone to really think for themselves, these political operatives besmirching the concept of freedom to sell their snake oil is infuriating.
I believe 2025 deadline would be the best timing for this push because PC sales will decrease because many people/companies already bought PC in 2020-2022.
I also learned programming in college with TurboPascal and absolutely loved it. Learning Smalltalk was also a pleasure due to not only the beauty of its concepts but also the development environment. The closest thing in Java for teaching the language is BlueJ, which gives the student a good intuition on the difference between class affordances (constructors, static methods and variables) and object affordances (instance methods) based on what's available when you right-click on them.
Related: I happened to be acquainted with a founder of one of the major coupon sharing sites, after they’d sold it for a rumored 8-9-figure sum.

It didn’t make sense to me that it could be so attractive to brands to promote coupons there. People have already decided they want to buy the product; why would you want them to go hunting for a big discount after they’re already sold?

He told me that the people who like it are the advertising staff and consultants, so they can generate evidence for their bosses/clients that their campaigns are working.

I get that it can be partially effective. Sometimes I’ll think “I’ll buy this product if I can find a coupon that gets the price under X”.

It’s just a funny old world when an advertising professional is motivated to spend money with a third party to give their customer a big discount on a product they’ve already decided they want, in order for the advertising professional to justify their existence.

My most recent attempt to rekindle my old blog turned into a write-a-SSG-that-can-import-tumblr and then a quest to recapture the nostalgic MySpace/text-mode feel, and no actual new blog entries.

Array Int (IORef (Int -> Float))

The first "Int" is the type of the array's index, which in C is always "int" and hence not specified.

(As you note yourself, pointers, or even just arrays, are not very much of a Haskell concept, but I still think this is pretty readable and very obviously parseable if you know the involved types "Array i e" and "IORef a".)

> Google, Pepsi, and others who are unlikely to be involved in this are there too

Bear in mind, this is not just about "fake reviews" like people submit on Amazon. This is about "falsely claiming an endorsement by a third party; misrepresenting whether an endorser is an actual, current, or recent user; using an endorsement to make deceptive performance claims; failing to disclose an unexpected material connection with an endorser; and misrepresenting that the experience of endorsers represents consumers’ typical or ordinary experience"

I guarantee you both Google and Pepsi have committed offenses on that list, and so has nearly everyone else in modern marketing these days.
I'm with you. I think these cheap, Apple-bashing blogs want to make this into a bigger deal but there are a few things that don't add up to make this the huge issue they think it is:

1. The bug lets you download contacts. Nothing else. As you've said, no one's going to pay six figures for a bug that lets you get someone's contacts from GameCenter. If this was even slightly more abstract and didn't specifically deal with just GameCenter, I could see it being valuable for companies that do phone-to-phone transfers, for example, because you could download someone's contacts from a locked device. This isn't that, though.

2. Nowhere in the article, or even the original tweet, does Apple acknowledge or state that he was the person that initially found the bug. They just confirmed that the bug exists and asked him to keep it confidential. It's entirely possible that the reason for the delay is because someone discovered a lower-level bug that rolled up to this and it's a bit less clear-cut who is owed the credit for the fix that they released. They're not just going to go around and pay everyone who claims to have found a bug. They have to verify it and make sure that it's not something they've already discovered through another report or on their own.

3. Sometimes this stuff just takes time. When you're dealing with codebases that as large as this, changing a small thing to fix a bug can unintentionally break a bunch of other things. It's not always a simple matter of "this small piece is broken and is completely independent of everything else". We have no idea if this is or isn't one of those cases because we don't really know much about it (and for good reason).
Wait, how do you mean they're not offering local warranty?

Even a 3rd grader knows that 'growth' is relative to a base. So if you literally start from almost nothing in 1920 because of a civil war, of course you are gone have pretty good growth. That doesn't mean its comparable to nations like the US or Britain.

In fact, economic trends were going better during Russian Imperial regime. The 'feudal mudpit' was in a extreme growth phase. In fact part of the reason for WW1 was the German plans were looking at Russia and seeing how soon they would be overtaken. But I guess they just didn't know that it was a 'feudal mudpit'.

And of course Russia was never feudal in the first place so I suggest a history book.

> feudal mudpit

I see you are repeating the same old Soviet Propaganda nonsense. Funny how the Soviets literally financed the first 10 years of their rule with systematically exploiting the wealth produced by that 'feudal mudpit' when they sold of much of the wealth of church and the whole cultural heritage of the country.

Imperial Russia built a massively large and massively successful weapons industry before and during WW1. In fact Russia did amazingly well and by 1917 was able to seriously equip the largest army in Europe with competitive weapons and keep them in the field.

Its a total misconception that Russia was not a first rate economy power. The literally fought Germany, Austria and the Ottoman with almost no supplies from outside. Unlike Soviets, they didn't have massive amounts of British and later US supplies flowing in. Russia already WAS a global super power. Many people even back then realized that most likely the world would be heading into a situation where Russia and the US were the two major powers, both in Britain and Germany.

These very factories is what helped the Reds win the Civil war and is the bases for the next 10-20 of growth back to old level. From there massive peasant exploitation that literally killed 20-30 million people allowed them to buy massive amounts of tools and machines from the West. Often buying Western plants and 1 to 1 rebuilding them in the Soviet union.

Additional measure they used where making a deal with the Germans, where Germany was secretly using Soviet land as training ground for the army and building factory for weapons that were not allowed by the West. A great way to extract industrial goods and plans from Germany for payment and also systematically stealing every single German economics secret. This operation is actually far larger then we knew until recently and was going on from 1922. That policy didn't work out so great for them.

Only SSE4.2. It supports Intel CPUs without AVX2 since that was missing from some Celeron/Pentiums.
All of the examples in your first paragraph seem like things that should have been discussed with the team prior to development, or at least as part of any sensible code review process.
You put your finger on something that I've been thinking but could not articulate.
This is what is used currently in the browser of SailfishOS.
What suggests that any of this is "free work for a trillion dollar corporation"? Apple hasn't acknowledged that this person discovered this bug yet. They've only acknowledged that it existed and that they were going to patch it in the future. Crediting someone for a bug bounty isn't as easy as you all are making it out to be.
Patch for what though? Is the ability to use a patch taken into account because a patch to clang on Linux and a patch to appleclang on Mac have very different interpretations

Not for this exploit. They pay more for code-execution exploits. No one is going to pay the sums you guys are thinking they will over a bug that gives you someone's GameCenter contacts. It's not a trivial bug but it's also not a very valuable one.
