I was just pointing out that VSC is pretty far down the list of things where performance is something I notice unless I'm trying to do a benchmark of some sort. It's not quite as fast as, say, TextMate 2 was but it's pretty close on basic performance (e.g. when I measured keyboard-display latency it was within 20% of Text Edit or Terminal) and at some point the huge amount of additional functionality is a consideration. If the question is “what things slow me down at work”, it's close to the bottom of the list.
Return shipping is usually up to the customer and shipping back to China is much more expensive than the initial China to the US charges. Sometimes it exceeds the cost of the item itself to try to send it back so it's just cheaper to eat the loss.
Thank You! Interesting there are two unicorn Bolts then.
I'm a bit surprised that movie had such a large effect

I think the other side of this is that Merlot was very popular. Everyone had already tried the Merlot. Merlot was overrepresented, so, there was like a Merlot "bubble" at the time, in part because of reports on the French Paradox [0], and it being the most popular grape in France and a very popular grape in California and the Finger Lakes. More than the film putting down Merlot, it was praising Pinot Noir. So, you have a movie more or less telling wine drinkers there's another wine you can drink besides Merlot...

In all seriousness, malware on Linux was very rare to begin with, so this is effectively a scary headline without much substance.
I ask myself. “How hard will this be to change?” Or, “does this promote a pattern which will evolve into something difficult to change?”

Bad code to me is code that is difficult to modify or extend. “Difficult” to me implies a higher likely hood of regressions or time spent working.

Probably the worst thing of all is the “wrong abstraction”. Concepts that have been shoehorned into other abstractions - bloating method signatures and variables - obfuscating the intent of the names. This issue becomes cancer that causes a ton of other problems.

Great code reads closer to English language. The bottom of the call stack has high level abstract language and the top of the call stack is highly specific. With module on the stack maintaining a consistent degree of abstract language.
I've always preferred MASM output compared to whatever it is GNU does by default.

I have used Anki extensively in the past. It works decently for me, but the primary issue I have is that there's no streamlined way to add information I have found. e.g. if I hear read a figure I want to remember, I have to go take out my phone/laptop, open the application, format it some way into a cloze style question, then go back to what I was reading. Do you use it in a more streamlined manner?

I think the US will be taught a valuable lesson in this regard. In the 70s and 80s the MBAs figured that they could strip industrial assets and rely on "intellectual property". In the 21 century their children will be shown by China how wrong they were.
Worse, journalists often compare Webb with Hubble, but they mostly ignore the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herschel_Space_Observatory, which had a larger primary mirror (for example, https://webb.nasa.gov/content/observatory/ote/mirrors/index....).

I don't entirely disagree with you. I think copyright is insane but it could certainly be made tolerable enough. Most importantly, it needs to have reasonable duration. 5 years is more than enough time for these creators to make their money several times over. I don't think these copyright holders would ever accept anything that reduced their monopoly power though.
On the other hand, if you don’t know, and no one else around know, removing the chester might be a good option to quickly know why it was there rather opting for long inner speculations.

Yes, maybe the fence is there for a good reason, in which case the people that installed it made a poor documentation job. So who know what else they poorly implemented?
I've tried cocaine and it would make me feel like the "best" or perhaps much better version of me. Improved, but subjectively not overinflated self-confidence, sharper thoughts, better concentration, high energy and motivation, easier connection to people, without apparent intoxication or affected judgement.

I would agree with you that it makes me feel normal in the sense that's what it seems I should have been. The first time I tried it, I was like "so when I'm gonna feel the effect?" for a few seconds and then I realized I feel it and thought "That's the way it [life] 's meant to be played" :D

I had a similar experience in law school in one of my tax classes. I hit a couple things where I could just not get what the tax code, the IRS regulations, or my textbook were trying to tell me.

I went to the university bookstore and found the textbook section for the university's undergraduate business degree programs, and bought the textbook for an accounting class.

Seeing the coverage of those tax areas from the accounting point of view cleared up what was going on, and then I understood what was going on in the code and regulations.

> Classes are not just unnecessary, they're a bad abstraction.

And yet, there are approximately 0 examples of the "closure-backed classes" example you give, while every vaguely popular language except C has some variant of polymorphic classes, from StandardML to Lisp.

Your closure example is not used in any langauge because it's extremely un-ergonomic. If the langauge doesn't have some kind of concept of "interface" (abstract class, type class, trait, structural typing etc), then you'll either miss polymorphism (return a single specific type), or be too dynamic (return an object that could do anything). It also risks being inefficient if you try to naively add function pointer members to each object to support runtime dispatch.

The closure-based alternative also obscures the relationship between product data types (structs/record types) and classes (structs with methods).

Closure-backed classes are a neat experiment, but just like manual virtual table management in C, they are not a realistic solution to the problems that classes address, if you can possibly avoid them.

> IP laws do not inherently restrict anyone from freely practicing their trade nor do they force you to join any trade/industry associations.

While true, it's a gray area when you get into certain industries. Cell phones, for example, are chock-full of cross licensed patents regarding the baseband chips and radio waves. There's a term in the industry for these kinds of patents (my mind is blanking). Ignoring the necessary industry talent, there's no way in hell one can make a new baseband processor without dozens of NDAs and patents that you yourself can offer up as leverage.

IMHO (and one many here share), IP laws (with regard to software) have gone way too far. The big problem is that the companies with the might to enact change tend to be part of the problem themselves.

If you don't have any imagination and you treat dogs as database entries then yes you might do just that. If you are only person writing it and using that code, the same.

You did not address interaction between dogs. Some other idea, how do you pass dogs to a playpen, how would they interact - maybe you want different playpens where you can send your dogs into, some playpens having food, some not having a food, different types of food. What if some other developer will have to write code to heal the dog? If function to dog.Heal() will be in some different module that you never heard of, how do you find it?

You don't want to make each playpen having "if species_of(pet)" code duplication, if pet alone can act on its own will.

Writing code in here seems not that useful here because you would really have to imagine possibilities and see how much code would go into wiring up such a world. Then seeing how having methods in object are helping organize code and in the end prevent whole classes of errors.

Building all of that as an example is just too much work for one off discussion. Just play with imagination of how much complexity you can add to a simple example and soon you will notice.
In perspective, you should keep in mind that the Space Shuttle was a failure as a launch vehicle, both in terms of safety and economics.
Rust has had this bit of syntax sugar for a while now, it is used for structs. I think it's nice syntax, because it's located in a place where there's no doubt about the meaning. Both Rust structs and Ruby hashes are defined in-language as key-value sets, so whenever there's just one element instead of a pair, it's clear what the meaning is.
Gunpowder, modern canal building with locks, porcelain? Just off the top of my head. Porcelain is a particularly relevant example; Europeans experimented with it for about a century, intentionally trying to duplicate the Chinese process, finally having success c. 1700 or so with trade secrets being smuggled out by the Jesuits.

But these days I think it's the immaterial cultural/cognitive tools that came from China which tend to be underrated. For example, the Chinese invented the concept of the civil service and examinations, as we think of them today. Meritocratic experts admitted based solely on an anonymous written examination (duplicated by scribes so even the handwriting couldn't given the applicant away). This would influence the British East India Company, which ultimately led to it being implemented in Britain:

> Even as late as ten years after the competitive examination plan was passed, people still attacked it as an "adopted Chinese culture." Alexander Baillie-Cochrane, 1st Baron Lamington insisted that the English "did not know that it was necessary for them to take lessons from the Celestial Empire."[184] In 1875, Archibald Sayce voiced concern over the prevalence of competitive examinations, which he described as "the invasion of this new Chinese culture."

I'm not sure that's patentable, though.

Yes, but they're relatively small so circles are not too bad as an approximation.

The Leaflet.Geodesic plugin can render (polygonal approximations to) geodesic circles correctly. Based on playing around with this demo [1] (drag the central marker to reposition, and drag the outer marker to resize), I don't think the deviation from circles would really be noticeable for most of the lights.

(Edit: some lights may only be illuminated in a particular sector, and there may obstacles blocking the view in some directions - arguably both of these are far more significant problems with the use of circles as markers)

I understand the idea here. Instead of having every website collect identifying behaviour through tracking and other forms of stalking, the browser provides the necessary information for ad companies to operate so it can work on blocking privacy invasions without nuking the data hoarder industries. This is probably in part because Google is in the ad business themselves and scummy ad companies could easily sue them for abusing their monopoly position if they just flat out blocked all data collection.

The end result is still terrible. The only upside I can think of is that if this mechanism does find use in browsers, it could allow users to specify what ads they want to see rather than have corporate guesswork shove that stuff down their throats, and it could allow Chrome forks to fake this information.

It's sad that the only real alternatives are Firefox, which has strange and unfathomable priorities, and Safari, which is held back by Apple's desire to make money off the app store (and their own bland of technical incompetence and bad policies). There was a brief moment where Microsoft Edge seemed like a great alternative to Chrome, with its new Spartan engine, but the past few months Microsoft has been ruining the likelihood I'll ever open it again with their terrible anti-features and even an integrated lure into debt.

So, my original point was to respond to the above comment: "Proof of stake requires none other than a single purchase to be gifted the right to perpetual seignorage."

My claim was that the lower ongoing expense of staking is compensated by lower rewards, so that both systems have similar profit for similar capital outlay. In setups where mining expense is almost zero, the higher rewards of mining give it much more seignorage than proof of stake.

This is not someone making a provocative post claiming that abstractions are bad. It is someone who understands that abstractions are good but claims that it is bad to rely on libraries to solve the need for abstraction.
My 'personal bias' is better phrased as 'direct personal experience of investigating these claims in depth'. What makes you so sure these social bot campaigns really exist? Because a journalist told you?

"I don't think a serious outlet would claim you can "rewrite people's politics with hashtags"

That is exactly the claim made by some social bot research papers. Until you spend some time reading the literature I don't think it's a great idea to form strong opinions about this field.

Try watching the talk version of this paper: https://archive.org/details/hopeconf2020/20200726_2000_Peopl...

In particular the section where he starts talking about causality inversion addresses this.

"the precise scale or effectiveness isn't super important"

Taxpayers are paying for this bad research because granting bodies and academic administrators incorrectly believe that it's a large and important problem. They believe that because they can't reliably detect pseudo-scientific research, which seems pretty important to me. Our money should be spent on researching things that are both real and important.

"Social bots" is a very poorly defined term (this is one of the issues with the research field as a whole) but generally means automated accounts that pretend to be real people, but which aren't, and which are engaging on social media to influence politics. A lot of claims about social bots imply Russia has developed general AI far in advance of anything in the west and is keeping it a secret just so they can troll Twitter, which is a bizarre and absurd claim on its face - probably why it's rarely stated outright, just implied.

"Spam bot" is easier to define because there's no implication of intelligence. Just getting a link to your webshop out there is sufficient.

Tools that help firms and people manage a single Twitter/FB account aren't a part of either definition.

> Why can't a "dog" be a perfectly ordinary data structure that you manipulate the usual way?

In statically typed languages, it's easier to read data out of a struct with fixed types, than a map[string]any and convert it to the expected type on each access.

> So you end up with an abstract type (dog) and a bunch of functions that operate on that abstract type.

C has no multiple dispatch and no classes. So libraries based around opaque objects (GTK and ALSA etc.) prefix each function name with its struct name, which is verbose and gets tedious to read or write after a while. Is multiple dispatch possible in a statically typed languages with compile-time nonvirtual function resolution? I haven't looked into it, it might be possible.

Stack unrolling is a complicated process.

It's tempting to think of them as a kind of return value, but most languages do not represent them this way. (I believe it's a performance optimization.)

Flying to the nearest catch can also be complicated, as it's a block, that involves variable creation, and this possible stack changes. Again it's easier to model as a normal block break and then a jump, but that's not the usual implementation.
