The Economic Rebound Is Still Waiting for Workers
Agree with this. To add, I think they initially tried to rebrand as a privacy/security-first company but that, IMO, failed because they didn’t commit to being a radically transparent company. Now they are trying to rebrand as something bigger.

I still think they should just take a leap of faith and become radically transparent.
IIRC, MacOS had to ship with a fairly old version of bash by default because newer versions have a more copyleft license; I always assumed that their swap to zsh was because they wanted something both up to date and compatible in terms of the license (and the fact that most bash "just works" when you run it in zsh is a plus).
What's wrong with the monolith? If that monolith was designed 30 years ago on RAIDed hard drives, upgrading to an all-SSDs 4TB RAM system today probably would solve all of those issues.

Really: is the monolith problem so difficult that a $400,000 computer can't solve the problem? Is there any developer project you can fund for say $1 million ($400k for the computer, 600k for system IT time to transfer the data to the new computer) that would give the same return on investment?

$400k gets you an all RAIDed PCIe 4.0 SSDs + 4TBs of RAM, 128-core dual-socket EPYC or something. That __probably__ can run your monolith.
Hey Walter. I played a lot with the DOS version of the game that Mark Baldwin worked on (perhaps also a later windows version, although I probably just played the DOS version on Windows). Two things that struck me as "off" at the time were the way calculating the distance when moving units wasn't as consistent or intuitive as it could be when moving diagonally because the board consisted of squares, and that multiple units couldn't be parked in the same place unless they were in a city.

Are these things you'd handle differently today? Are there any games that you think handled this better? A hexagonal board layout seems like it might be a better approach to calculating distance between points, but what about the limit of one unit per one square on the grid?

I love the idea of allowing players to supply a bot to compete against other bots.
The surprisingly-"smart" completions are the only thing I really notice about zsh vs. bash, but AFAIK you can add the same functionality to Bash if you like. Ditto the git-related prompt modifications, like showing the current branch or whether your working dir is dirty, which is kinda nice—you can configure that sort of thing in bash, as well.

You can do all kinds of fancy stuff with zsh (especially via something like oh-my-zsh) but it bloats it and slows it down too much for my liking. Maybe if I were trying to work on a machine with no GUI, I'd go for that sort of thing. As it is, I don't need a battery level graph or load monitor or whatever, always visible in my terminal.
It does. They are not. Or at least if some factors are lowering it, other factors like better nutrition and deleading etc. are more than counteracting it.

Exactly, burning biomass (there are huge corn fields in Poland that end up as biomass in Germany, economy of this is crazy and has zero positive effect on the environment).

The most ridiculous part is that Germany is questioning "greenes" of nuclear energy plants, because they invested in solar and wind power plants plus gas flowing from Russia through Nord Stream 2. I hope France will successfully oppose this madness.

How burning gas or trees is more CO2 emission friendly than nuclear power plant is beyond my understanding, but something tells me that environment is far from being a main point of this awkward exercise that Europe is doing now.
Even back when most people I knew used tcsh interactively, any significant scripting we did was for korn shell. It's been so long I don't remember what would have been so bad about tcsh scripting, but since we all made that choice I assume we would have agreed with you.

> Dave Chappelle belongs to a minority too. In fact, a minority of a minority (black comedians) - unlike most trans.

“Minority” in the relevant sense is not “group that constitutes less than 50%” but “group that is a historical target of large scale social discrimination inn
the society which is the context of discussion” (the term “minority” is an accident of history; had the language developed first in, say, apartheid South Africa, the term adopted probably wouldn't have been “disadvantaged minority” from which over time the first word usually got dropped.)

And even in the numerical sense, everybody is a minority of a minority if you choose the right set of axes of variation to look at, so in the sense that it is true of Chappelle, it is not “unlike most trans”.
"something. Anything". Optionality and lack of time to explore options is the issue. There is nothing wrong with taking a suggestion. It's obvious that this removes some possible serendipity but it also removes barriers to making something happen in the first place.
If you're passing the pointer to the standard library's `free()` then the compiler doesn't actually have to worry about pointer aliasing - it's undefined behavior to use a pointer after it has been passed to `free()`, so it can conclude it never happens in your program.

FWIW most of what you're referring to (reaching a free'd pointer via pointer arithmetic, or going straight to its address) is actually undefined behavior according to the C standard, what you're allowed to do with pointers is more limited than that. There are ways of getting around some of that (obviously, since it's necessary in embedded and other low-level situations), but it requires knowledge about your specific compiler and/or potentially the use of extensions or similar things not part of the standard.

I was a co-op student at IBM Canada in 1986-87. I got sorted (think sorting hat - hiring was generic) into the APL cohort. We had a fun course at the beginning and then I was shipped off into ... get this ... a marketing group.

So here I sit in front of a then very fancy 3279 terminal writing my little APL programs to do what they wanted - mostly extract/reformat/summarize data from one sort of file format to another. Was this a particularly good fit for APL? Not really, but if all you have is a hammer...

Anwyay one day I poked around in other APL code that was on the system and visible to me, and ran one program and wham... the screen on the 3279, which to that point I'd only known as a nice colour text terminal - exploded into fancy graphics. Mind blown. How did they do that? I never found out, because the program that did that was, as you say, "write only" - it looked like screenfuls of random noise.

But yes, APL was used in the mainstream, at least in the IBM internal world, as late as the mid 1980s. Maybe the use was artificial - you know, train new cohorts of co-op students in it and make them use it for real work - as a sort of dogfooding, don't know.

> you need at least two onchain transactions for every merchant you want to trade with

you absolutely do not. you open a channel once with some node and that channel can be used to send payments to all other nodes.

it's also simplistic view that you need 2 transactions per settlement of a channel because with channel factories you can batch-open-and-close-and-top-off many different channels with single (albeit fairly large) transaction.

systems like that grow organically and people get onboarded via many different methods, so it's not like tomorrow we will have a queue of 100 million people waiting for channels to be opened.

i do expect bitcoin network to hit capacity limit by transactions in future and we will see what it is going to look like, but i rather prefer bitcoin's glacial pace of becoming more and more efficient at ground layer, forcing all sorts of experimentation to happen in upper layers and in sidechains without ever compromising the foundation.

Tom Christiansen's essay "Csh Programming Considered Harmful" was commonly passed around the early internet and lists all the reasons why scripting in csh is terrible. I always considered csh purely for interactive use (where it was light years ahead of sh) and switched to ksh (or perl back in those days) for scripting.

- you don’t need to add apis to Firefox to use them in an Electron app

- It isn’t hard to do what this api does in Javascript as fast as the browser can do it. There already is api to convert strings to DOM and it isn’t exactly rocket science to iterate over the result and drop tags that aren’t on a list. I’m sure there can be a library that does it slowly but it doesn’t have to.
How do you achieve these goals? What value do you provide to your users?

I am very skeptical about alternative social networks. If it still rely heavily on network effects, then it is only natural for it to maximize engagement. You can't beat them (facebook etc) by playing with their rules.

Coupled with confirmation of ty98's leak that there is "No "MacBook Pro" logo on the bottom bezel", the MacBook Pro notch may very well be a branding element.

I agree. There's perfectly good scripting languages if I need to do anything beyond bash.
From the names mentioned, I wonder if the individuals they picked were biased toward people who "the man in the street" might plausibly see as the creators of important and socially valuable things. Vs. wealthy folks who increased prices of vital drugs by 50X, or "looted & flipped" good companies, or just received huge compensation packages for mediocre (or worse) corporate leadership.

> haikus

I must confess I had to think about this one for a while. Yes, haikus adhere to strict rules (as do sonnets). But here is something that adheres to the rules of haiku:

foo foo foo foo foo
foo foo foo foo foo foo foo
foo foo foo foo foo

which I think you would agree is not a haiku, or at least not a very good one (unless you're a Dadaist). There is something essential to a haiku, and to a poem in general, that is not captured by the rules.

But there are situations where the boundary between math and poetry can be very fuzzy indeed.
I had an idea for this where I was building a manually-constructed index of sites kind of like old-school Yahoo (related to typography), and then there would be a full-text search of those URLs and their close relatives (pretty much, the idea being that for a given URL, I'd index anything else in the same URL directory or subdirectories of that URL). I ended up giving up on it largely because time is finite and I have plenty of other projects competing for my time. I imagine something that built on the basic idea though could work, by omitting the Yahoo-style directory and instead working from a collection of vetted URL starting points.
What a useless comment. “Shite bad but I won’t say a thing about what or how”

And then you proceed to imply developers who have UIs susceptible to XSS are to blame, even though this is a known attack vector where browsers parse adversarial trees in an exploitable way that is completely opaque to everyone?

User = Struct.new(:email, :first_name, :last_name, keyword_init=true)
I have been surprised Facebook has experimented so little with diversifying their lines of business. Hopefully by moving their flagship social media platform to be formally one step lower down, more equal with various other lines of business, it will align with a model where they figure out something good to spend their money on.
This is such a populist response but I doubt you have any citations backing that claim. Please post if you do.
> I'm still holding out with Firefox

I have been using Firefox since the Pheonix/Firebird days where you download it and unzipped it to a folder.

I left a few months ago because I just couldn't get the performance where I needed it. I unfortunately had to go to yet-another-Chromium browser and just chose Brave because it seems like it has the right priorities. After installing the same extensions I was using on Firefox it's pretty much the same, it's just faster.

I hate saying that, after two decades of using Firefox. I want another browser engine. We need that competition.

We lost Microsoft. We still have Apple with Safari and I hope Mozilla can hold on with Firefox.

But if Google ever cuts that search funding I don't see a great future.

At best, it's a badly-written sentence. If he meant what you mean, he could have said "Everyone has an intuitive understanding of what 'numbers' are. In mathematics, we make a precise definition for the same concept." And that would have been fine.

But with the sentence the author actually wrote, you're left wondering whether that's what he actually meant. Does the first "number" mean the same thing as the second "number" (in which case it's circular), or are they subtly different (in which case, is the reader sure that they understand the distinction)?

And that reveals the bigger problem. Mathematics has been described as the study of things that have precise definitions. If the writer is this fuzzy in the introduction, can I trust him to be correctly precise?
I'd guess you'd have to start by figuring out if the role you applied for went to a H1B applicant, and then hire a lawyer to see if a lawsuit would be viable.

> To enable these types of experiences, we are introducing a new component on top of Windows 11 called Windows Subsystem for Android™, which powers the Amazon Appstore and its catalog.

So, on your Windows-ARM laptop, you can run android apps now. Being able to run android apps was one appealing feature of chromebooks IMO.

"yes some are making it out to be something disrespectful somehow."

"Some" are probably ignorant of the fact that cemeteries have been routinely moved in Western societies for centuries. It's not a new thing, and there are cultural procedures for doing it respectfully. It is also in a different sense a tradition to argue about who is going to pay for those procedures since they aren't the cheapest, but that's a separate matter.

So, your question can be given a concrete answer: No, we aren't stuck with cemeteries forever in the place they were plopped down decades ago. That is a present reality, not something we have to aspire to.

The forgotten history of how automakers invented the crime of jaywalking (2015)
There is no duty for a corporation to be ethical, sure. Arguably, the incentives to produce endless profit and growth drive the opposite. But the decision to be unethical says something about that company's leadership and their values. I mean -- their motto was literally "Move fast and break things." What could go wrong?

Further, this strikes me as a very Western-centric argument, particularly with WhatsApp. WhatsApp is nearly infrastructure in many countries outside the US, and your argument approaches saying "nobody has to use the Internet" -- which I suppose is true? But strikes me as being similar to saying "nobody has to have electricity."

You also seem to frame Facebook as somehow unwittingly finding itself in a position of power through WhatsApp, instead of that being a multi-year strategic campaign through marketing and their free-Internet push in the developing world (but only for FB's walled garden, which is clearly anti-competitive).
I wonder if that happens because an entrepreneur may be caught up in a feeling of what needs to be done, but has yet to clearly articulate the pain/joy/humor driving the work. It wasn't until the OP really pushed himself that he articulated the pain-point his startup was trying to solve.
