> What gets selected is generally the thing most cared about so it goes first

I disagree. When you're reading a query you often already know what you were trying to select, you just have a problem with a clause somewhere. This suggests that the select should go last, and this makes perfect sense as Haskell's comprehensions and C#'s LINQ are both way easier to work with than SQL.
We've come full circle I guess
JSON has corner cases but the advantage is that every JSON document has a single obvious mapping to language primitives — dicts, lists, strings, floats. Nobody has to agree beforehand how to load JSON data.

In contrast the generic mapping for XML is a
Tree[str (name), Dict[str, str] (attrs), Union[str, Tree] (body)] which maps so poorly between languages that people do one of two things — implement formats on top of XML to do serialization which leads to non-interoperability when different software does it differently, or parse to a database-like “Abstract XML
object that you query with xpath.

> The second point (how to print an integer) is about something way less easily discoverable than in the previous example. You need to learn about how to print, then about `fmt` and from there the only authoritative place that contains information about format specifiers is the doc comment of `std.fmt.format`.

I don't know if ZSF can guide this or if we can incept it into Andy's head, but if there were any coordinated plan to "solidify certain parts of the stdlib sooner than other parts" the std.fmt.format would be high on my list. And document it. Hell. document it, even if it changes around all the time. I'm often forgetting how that beautiful bastard works and having to jump to the comment in the stdlib is kind of annoying.

> But Netflix’s quarterly subscriber growth is now slowing in spite of spending more money than ever on content

To me the problem is the content. They now seem to produce shows for particular niches that are never my niche. Some of these extremely expensive shows are laughably low quality on all fronts: story, acting, stylistic choices, cinematography/direction... everything.

Take the new Cowboy Bebop: it's obviously not made for fans of the original. Is it made for new fans? For adults? For children? I couldn't tell.

Half the tentpole movies of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s were my niche, so it's not as though I'm a difficult audience.

If Netflix produce shows with particular political or cultural slants, they need to make sure there's an audience of people who watches shows for their politics & cultural slants, rather than for being, er, good.

I watch shows with compelling stories and solid characters. I'm not interested in race, gender, sexual orientation, identity, etc, except inasmuch as it makes for interesting stories and adds to a character's personality or motivations.

There's an audience of people on Twitter who defend/malign Netflix shows, and people on Youtube who make/consume video essays about them, but is anybody in that group actively watching that original content with joy and getting more value from their Netflix subscription than they got the previous year?

I wish I were, but I'm not.

Ha, in the 2006-2010 timeframe I worked for an aerospace company working on experimental radar sensors and the like and I developed quite a few Cocoa desktop data analysis and visualization tools since we were a Mac shop.

It was a good fit since the physicists and mathematicians wrote their experimental stuff in Matlab and the engineers and us computer scientists wrote the actual production code in C compiled for the embedded hardware in the avionics.
Cocoa provided a good bridging platform for tool sets between the two camps. (Later, python and its robust set of science and math libraries became the tool of choice in this role as Python expertise became more general on our team)

Long story short, I learned by suffering through the interface, especially the fairly esoteric Interface Builder.

And then in 2008 I went to a bootcamp hosted by the former-NeXT guy that had founded Big Nerd Ranch, Aaron Hillegas. He made it just click, so yeah, maybe but did take a NeXT programmer to wrap your ahead around it, ha.

Here in Europe netflix content/catalog is degrading so rapidly that I have no reason anymore - since at least an year and half - to keep a subscription up, especially for what it costs now. Last time I resubscribed to look at it was in December and I just ended up watching just squid game and rewatching narcos. Nothing else interesting anymore in there, and their own IPs are mostly bad

I am honestly sad for how the market ended up, even if yeah, for sure now there is more competition... But I don't want to subscribe to multiple services, it makes it all inconvenient compared to just grabbing a torrent
I have grown to understand that the relational model is the answer for solving all hyper-complex problems. The Out of the Tar Pit paper was a revolution for my understanding of how to approach properly hard things:

http://curtclifton.net/papers/MoseleyMarks06a.pdf

The sacred artifact in this paper is Chapter 9: Functional Relational Programming.

Based upon inspiration in this paper, we have developed a hybrid FRP system where we map our live business state to a SQLite database (in memory) and then use queries defined by the business to determine logical outcomes or projections of state for presentation. Assuming you have all facts contained in appropriate tables, there is always some SQL query you could write to give the business what they want. An example:

> Give me a SQL rule that says the submit button is disabled if the email address or phone number are blank/null on their current order.

--Disable Order Submit Button Rule
SELECT 1 -- 1 == true, 0 == false
FROM Customer c, Order o
WHERE o.CustomerId = c.Id
AND c.IsActiveCustomer = 1
AND o.IsActiveOrder = 1
AND (IsNullOrEmpty(o.EmailAddress) OR IsNullOrEmpty(o.PhoneNumber))

I hope the advantages of this are becoming clear - You can have non-developers (ideally domain experts with some SQL background) build most of your complex software for you. No code changes are required when SQL changes.

The relational model in this context is powerful because it is something that most professionals can adopt and collaborate with over time. You don't have to be a level 40 code wizard to understand that a Customers table is very likely related to a ShoppingCarts table by way of some customer identity. If anyone starts to glaze over at your schema diagrams, just move everything into excel and hand the stakeholders some spreadsheets with example data.
The feature is turned off by default -- if you are conscientious you can turn it on, or if you have no worry of offending others, then leave it off. Whats the problem?

I do love when people argue against 'woke', missing the fact that the opposite implication of 'woke' is 'ignorant', like it or not. And lately its very popular to be aggressively ignorant; insult and injury just for the sake of insult and injury.

I hesitated to post this one because the article frames the research as answering a question with a yet to be known answer. As though someone will suddenly "discover" that these next generation communication systems can also be used for sensing. I imagine the public media reveal will be of the sentiment: "wow, who knew?!"

But a quick google scholar search for the keywords "joint communication and sensing" or "perceptive mobile network" or "passive opportunistic sensing" shows that there is no question. The potential for sensing capability is built in and extremely well studied. Research has been ongoing for over a decade.
Something like dnscat2 would ultimately be better in my opinion. Have it connect once to get the disk key, decrypt, and end the process. Then have your device do it's thing, and once a condition is met, spin it back up, transmit the data (using small packet sizes and very large delays to possibly avoid IDS) and exfiltrate what's needed.
Totally Agree. It is well known proverb in showbiz - you are as good as your last hit. In this business you have to constantly be at the top to stay at the same place.

There is no possibility to create a 'moat' in showbiz. Technology (distribution over internet) was once, but now that has become a commodity.
That's the capture-by-reference vs capture-by-value distinction in a nutshell, yes.

Capture-by-value takes a snapshot of the value instantly, and stores it until the block is executed.

Capture-by-reference waits to evaluate the variable until the block is executed.

Between the two, capture-by-reference is the least surprising behavior IMO. It acts like the deferred code is copy/pasted onto the end of the function.

Capture-by-value is the most flexible, and can also emulate capture-by-reference by using pointers. Any syntax should either support both, or only capture-by-value.

Two years is about the length of time required for me to consider a show on Netflix. They kill a lot of shows after two seasons. I don't want to invest the time in a storyline that Netflix is going to axe without a natural conclusion.
Yeah of all of the NFT silliness, this one takes the cake for me. I can just imagine the screams from historians and archivists.
The price is nothing but down, down, down. it is not manipulation but just ppl dumping at every opportunity, like bank stocks in 2007-2008 or dotcom stocks in 2000-2002. Would not want to own this.
I don't know how a language that sets itself up to be a better C turns into this monster of horrible syntax and patterns that's nothing like C at all.
When I first signed up for Netflix it was (briefly) $8/month. At that stage it had a great catalog of old TV shows, which was (and is) way more interesting to me than movies. I actually figured that anything less than $10/month and I'd subscribe to it forever without thinking about it.

But the prices keep ballooning while the catalog keeps shrinking to the point that Netflix HD is now more expensive than HBO Max. Like WTF? For the record, the UI/UX of HBO Max is decidedly worse than HBO Now was (IMHO).

I support Netflix's strategy of having to make original content as the popularity of streaming caused every content owner to launch their own shitty "me too" streaming platform. Most of these won't survive (eg CBS All Access -> Paramount+).

But Netflix has proven once again you can't solve a problem by simply throwing tons of money at it. HBO is good at producing original content because it has a long history of doing so and has built up a culture to do just that. But Netflix acts like they're just throwing money around (eg [1]). Some of their content is good (eg Ozark). A lot of it is mediocre and samey. Even some of the good stuff gets killed prematurely.

So once Netflix was an "always have". Now it's something I'll sign up for 1-2 months a year to catch up on old content. I'm not paying for 6 different streaming services continually. The only service in my "always have" bucket now is Prime Video simply because Amazon Prime is too useful not to have it.

What I think Netflix should've done is concentrated in building regional content and then dubbing that to other languages and regions. They've had some success with that (eg Money Heist, 3%) but nowhere as much as they could have (IMHO). This should help avoid creating samey content.

But here's how you know this isn't a high-priority strategy: for some reason all the voice acting on dubbed content is beyond terrible. This goes beyond Netflix. Like Netflix has some other dubbed Spanish TV series (I forget the name) and there are common voice actors with Money Heist. And they're bad. Years ago I saw German-dubbed Friends and I couldn't get past how bad the dubbing was.

Why is this? Is this a small industry rife with nepotism? Or is it just something no one cares about?

Anyway, I'm not surprised Netflix is struggling to retain subscribers in the US and Canada. It's simply too expensive and there is now fierce competition.

It helps that mappers added a lot of functionality. IIRC Super Mario Bros. is the "best" you could do on base Famicom hardware. Later titles typically rely on mappers to allow for not only increased game size but potentially improved sound, and graphical effects like scrolling in multiple directions, saving, etc.

I often wonder why Netflix is willing to pay so much for the Office and Friends but isn't trying to make a new show like that. Every new show is an 8 episode season of "prestige" TV.

Yes, you can encode it, but you shouldn't have to invent and apply this encoding manually. It's error-prone, it's less efficient, and you lose information.

It's like saying you don't need foreign key constraints as built-in concept as long as you have triggers, because you can encode such integrity checks as triggers. Technically true, but no one is going to buy that is a legitimate argument against foreign key constraints.

A lot of cool technology, no doubt. Unless they start writing scripts, directing, acting, editing it might not help.

It’s a bit like if a hospital had a really cool IT department, highest paid engineers, latest database tech and hardware. But it’s not enough, as their surgeons are not as good as ones from the older hospital across town.
I wouldn't write them off yet. Disney, Apple and Amazon seem the only real competitors as this is a game of scale.

Disney is even more content limited and better for kids. Apple never got it right, cant see them fixing it now. And Amazon stuffed it between their mixed model where half the stuff you want to watch has extra fees + generally limited inclusive content, though the prime membership might buy that back. Both Disney and Amazon will fix the back catalogue with money I would guess, something Netflix should have done more aggressively before the competitors arrived.

While Netflix content is on the decline, there is a huge inertia in the best existing catalogue + 200million subscribers. It does surprise they haven't flooded extra content on the price increase as that is a good way to justify to users. Nothing worse than feeling there's a lack of content + pay increase.

My guess is Netflix keeps building the moat with content creation/ownership and we'll see mergers start kicking in as groups with back catalogues like HBO & NBC realise gaining/holding subscribers on smaller catalogues is hard and there more value in selling than renting. Who forks out more money at this point will probably win. Wild card is sport, that can be attractive and sticky if someone merges that in.
It’s not so much price manipulation as timed restrictions / throttled deposits / withdrawals / order execution. basically market malfunctions / barriers. you can always arrange over the counter transactions though.
OSX 10.4 and 10.5 were marvelous operating systems for so many reasons.

I admire how the company has evolved over the years. It's cool that they distribute (and sometimes fund) movies made by excellent directors (Coens, Scorsese, Sorrentino). It does seem like a precarious business model: they have to keep picking or making winners but so far they're doing well.
