Perl 5 also had OOP, but neither Perl nor Tcl could credibly claim "native" OOP during the relevant time frames. By contrast, one of Python's founding design goals was OOP.

Ruby didn't have very much mindshare in the U.S. during the relevant period. Which is a real shame. There's always been a significant amount of great work coming out of Japan that never gets popular attention elsewhere. Ruby is one of the notable exceptions, though it's break-out success came belatedly. (Wikipedia says the first English language Ruby mailing-list was created in 1999. AFAICT, O'Reilly's first Ruby book was "Ruby on Rails", published 2006. O'Reilly's "The Ruby Programming Language" wasn't published until 2008. All of these are indicative of an exceptionally late popular introduction to the English language programming community.)

I don't mean to imply that luck had nothing to do with Python's success. It's just that if you look at the contenders at the time and the qualities that people were (rightly or wrongly) looking for in a programming language, it's not at all surprising why Python gained popularity. To the degree luck had anything to do with it, it was largely the timing of those nexus of factors.
Agreed, though I really wish it would let me pick which Slacks or Mail servers get through in different modes.
Vouched for your comment because I thought it was an interesting view. Not sure why it was downvoted.

Why can't it be both? Suppose I buy t-shirts from Walmart. At the checkout counter, the cashier asks me to donate $5 to feed hungry children in Malaysia. I take a quick look at the tag on my $3 t-shirt. Turns out it was made by hungry children in Malaysia.

In this case, giving the $5 would be both justice and charity. The way the workers who made the shirt are underpaid and hungry is unjust, so taking a step towards rectifying this probably counts as justice. On the other hand, it's undeniably a voluntary payment made to a poor person because they are poor. It's not something I have to do, nor is it something I can reasonably count on many other people doing. So it's charity.
Yes. The antitrust suit seems to be a tool for legal discovery. And its a nice way to apply pressure from all sides to make Zuck feel the burn.

Shortcuts on iPadOS and whatever beta of Monterey I'm running on this computer can both set and clear focus modes. I use that on my iPad to set a focus mode, which also updates my home screens, and launch AudioBus in one go by running my shortcut. Weirdly it can't check what the current focus mode is.

I definitely agree, I do think uni degrees are severely over priced and don’t prepare people for jobs as much as people think. I have an oceanography degree that just collects dust in my parent’s attic.

But that in itself doesn’t mean what Lambda did was any better. If anything, they both need serious reforms.
Only if the client-side scanning includes end-to-end encryption, which was never part of the deal. It was a possible future feature. Also, only if the-client side scanning only scans images being uploaded to iCloud and not literally everything.

Also any kind of content scanning is always strictly worse than no scanning at all.
There are sound differences that people who learned a language when young find clear, but which other people who did not learn when young simply do not perceive as being different. Yes, you may be physically able to make the sounds, but if you do not perceive the difference, you can't learn to say it right.

Tomatoes "have no significant nutrient content" according to Wikipedia:

They just taste great due to the umami flavour.

I've seen a lot of this. FAANG practically release a study guide, while tons of smaller companies think their precious little process will fall apart if the candidates even know the sort of interview they conduct up front.

Will there be leetcode-type questions? Roughly which level? Laptop, or whiteboard? Should I expect to be quizzed on networking? Javascript "gotchas" for crap I reflexively avoid so may have forgotten about? UX principles? Will the questions be general, or specific? Will it be a mix? How much, if any, of the day will be whiteboard stuff, and which part of the day will it be in?

The answers to these, and more, you should provide up front, without being asked, well ahead of time. Your signal will go up, not down, if your candidates have half a clue what to expect, out of the space of all things that might be asked in a software developer interview. Keeping this stuff a mystery and ambushing your candidate at 9AM sharp with data structure whiteboard questions, after they've flown for two hours to get to you, got up early, were on a plane then in a taxi for a while, et c., when they didn't know you were gonna do something like that, is just giving you tons of false negatives. Knock that shit off, you're wasting money and giving people bad days for no reason.

That, or just stop expecting people to "naturally" be able to pull this stuff out of their head and perform for you like a monkey, while in a stressful and semi-adversarial situation that does not resemble collaboration and teamwork in a real job (there's the excuse that "well you have to be able to perform under pressure" but interview pressure has nothing to do with, say, "prod broke and the DB went bye-bye" pressure, so that's bullshit, too). And then communicate that fact—that you're not going to torture them—too, so they don't have to stress out over it.

methamphetamine ≠ amphetamine

Adderall is a mixture of amphetamine isomers. Which is prescribed all the time. (And let’s be honest, abused…)

Methamphetamine is not Adderall. Meth is almost never prescribed, as it has far higher neurotoxicity, and far higher binding to serotonergic neurons.

This is the canonical answer. Lawyer up, unfortunately.
"OS, not apps" is a kind of weird distinction for a lot of users, though. I used an iPad as my only portable computer for a bit over a year, so I get what you're saying -- there were definitely things that were easier to do on macOS than iOS, and those things tended to revolve around system-level features that were present in AppKit but not UIKit. But it was also surprising to me how little there was that I couldn't do on the iPad.

HN users tend to understandably be focused on development tools, where iOS really is pretty handicapped. (I suspect this is only going to change through moving development environments fully into the cloud. But there are an awful lot of people who use computers for an awful lot of things who probably could replace those computers with iPads already. (Do keep in mind that one user's "doodle in Procreate" is another user's "bring in several thousand a month on an art Patreon.")
Seems like it was covered in the enthusiast press. IGN and Destructoid as you noted. I also found coverage on Engadget, Gamespot, Polygon.com, VRFocus, UploadVR, Gamersnexus, Gameinformer, VentureBeat, Forbes. As well as mentions of the suit in other articles, used as a way to frame Luckey as someone who is constantly getting sued.

It seems very difficult to find old news articles actually. Google News doesn't turn up most of the stuff I found, I had to explicitly search the individual sources. Who knows what else is missing.

See my response to another comment in this thread. react-redux manages shouldComponentUpdate on your behalf. That's what's being discussed: the pain that comes from custom shouldComponentUpdate implementations. I almost never have to write custom component lifecycle methods when using Redux.
I feel the same way. I was so excited to see a decriminalization measure on the ballot. A year after it took effect, our drug problems are worse than ever. It turns out that for the Portugal model to work correctly, there needs to be carrot and stick, but Portland only opted to implement the carrot, and the quality of life here has gotten much, much worse in a very short amount of time.

The feature that line refers to is called "shareplay".

Read the info here: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...

I'll quote a few things:

> While sharing media during a FaceTime call, each participant views the content within your app running on their device

> if people must log in, download content, or make a payment before they can participate, display views that help them perform these tasks before showing the activity UI

> providing a free trial or special offer lets people sample your content during a group activity

As you can see, it requires everyone to own the content, and it also requires the other apps (like the netflix, youtube, HBO, or whatever app) to opt in to supporting it. I don't see any way this could be illegal.
... and if I recall, the Die Hard quote was about a "Glock 7", which does not and has never existed.
AAPL's P/E ratio is like 30 at the moment. The average for the S&P 500 is 20 and AAPL's isn't much higher than the rest of the industry.

TSLA's P/E ratio is 533. It's far beyond its segment and the irrational exuberance of the tech industry.

The 1.7second difference isn't from any actual speed difference. It's from light hitting things on its way here that gravity interacts weakly with and thus doesn't hit. So that wouldn't explain no light at all escaping while 100% of gravity does from a black hole.

Instead since light is redshifted as it exits a gravity well a better thought would be "is the almost but not quite black hole red-shifting light to the point of being impossible to detect?". After all light with almost 0hz frequency is basically non-interactive. It has a similar outcome. You could then have an 'almost black hole' that looks just like a real black hole but allows gravity to escape. https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.07769
I just watched your 6-minute intro video and I love it. It's not what I asked for (it won't help me write tests for the Keap campaign builder, oy), but it fills a different, sorely felt need: showing non-technical people how automated tests are constructed.

I can point to this video to say, "this is what I'm doing when I'm writing tests", and I think at least some of them will understand the value proposition. The more savvy ones might buy into your platform or even try constructing tests themselves. Bravo!
> scale problems go both ways. and to your point, the "difficult" problems aren't harder necessarily

i like the old adage: anyone can build a bridge. Only an engineer can build a bridge that can barely standup.
That seems too provocative to me. It seems simply that the "elite", social media activists, and FB/YouTube employees are guilty of just the same kind of non-rigorous thinking. They think misinformation posted online causes a phase-shift of rational people into irrational/"mentally ill" people, and feel a responsibility to "limit the damage"; but human crowds have never been rational, period. Another comment in this thread says: "Sloganeering is actually critical for mass movements for political change", which is completely true, and I think proves my point; practically all discussions online are filled with complete misinformation, yet often aggregate around reasonable conclusions (and occasionally, unreasonable), whether it's on healthcare reform, privacy, medicine, whatever.

That was certainly not my experience, it was an intense physical pleasure but ultimately devoid of mental depth. Having tried most drugs I really think the whole addicted after one dose is bullshit and it's far more about your social economic circumstances.

I think a lot of complaints would come from students that did succeed, whether by having previous programming experience or having the drive to overcome Lambda's shortcomings.

Precisely this. I don’t know when “engineer” turned into “order taker”. There’s no reason to have a Product Manager define and engineers work. Good engineers are more than capable of defining their own work.

What you are calling charity (which also lumps in patronage since patrons don't pay "fair market prices") is precisely how music has been funded for hundreds of years and how classical/orchestral music continues to survive today. No one funds opera houses or gets their name on one of the bricks because they think it's a smart business decision or a fair market transaction. It will hopefully continue to be a big part of the equation going forward, I think a whole community being able to see live orchestral music based on the generosity of a few is a good thing that should continue.

Your whole comment is somewhat baffling to me as you decry "charity" or anything not based in free-market economics as "not the way" but provide little in the way of specifics on what should be done, other than that we should "reconsider the more fundamental assumptions".

Here's the fundamental assumption being reconsidered: the idea that the only value the consumer derives from a product is the direct first-order utility or pleasure they get from using the product. Let me put it this way: there's a market for "free trade" coffee that is more expensive than regular coffee. Is that charity? I don't think so, instead I think it recognizes that there is actual economic value in the consumer's personal satisfaction or belief that they are purchasing something sustainable, that they can feel good about. Call it charity if you want, but it is a very real economic force.
They’re both nearly identical in the ways that matter except for their outward appearance and minor things like audio, accessory ports, and the Vive’s camera.

They both have the exact same resolution OLED displays with a butterfly mechanism to adjust the IPD and fresnel lenses. They both use IMU’s as the primary tracking system with external components used for drift correction.

They both use optical tracking (except Vive is inside-out and Rift is outside-in.)

They both have incredibly similar software, with a very minor tweak needed to fully translate all the Rift calls to work completely on Vive.

The original Rift and Vive are very, very similar headsets. The most different thing about them is their controllers.
Their investor call was a lot more interesting than the numbers themselves. Facebook all but confirmed TikTok as an existential threat, and is spending billions over the next few years to retool their product line to focus on "young adults".

Metaverse came up as well, of course, and I still don't think anyone knows what that actually means.
Hmmm....there are many many different aspects to security. Security Architects for example, dont necessarily need to understand the details of CVEs, but the general principles of defence in depth when architecting solutions.
