To be clear, secondhand smoke has absolutely been scientifically proven to kill people. We’ve been discussing the margins of outdoor secondhand smoke, which is, I admit, harder to demonstrate conclusively with simple stats. Outdoor conditions vary wildly, and proximity certainly matters.

I agree that it’s hard to publish a negative result, but the fact is that I gave you a primary research source that was trivial to find and claims to show only a moderate effect, and you’re still rationalizing your discounting of it and rationalizing why you don’t have any primary sources to support the view that outdoor secondhand smoke isn’t harmful.

It would be silly to claim that secondhand smoke is not harmful outdoors, because we already know for a fact that exposure to secondhand smoke is harmful, and being outdoors just reduces the exposure depending on conditions - wind, dissipation, distance, partial enclosure, etc. There’s no question about whether it’s harmful, the only question is how much.

People aren’t banning smoking because it’s sometimes risky. People are banning smoking because it’s always risky, and non-smokers don’t always have control over their exposure levels. The outdoor exposure levels might be considerably lower than indoor exposure, but why should you tolerate any exposure at all? If you can smell it, you’re breathing additional pollution and toxins. You haven’t given any reasons at all that we should accept and tolerate lower-than-indoor levels of risk and damage just because they’re lower. Some people prefer none, and isn’t that a right they should have in public places? Why should people even tolerate the smell if they don’t like it? Would you tolerate a small amount of tastable but moderately low risk poop from your neighbors in your drinking water, given a choice?
No.
You just build one abstraction and then use a code generator to build a client for different targets.
So as long as you have good developers with an interest in code generation and that will stick around for a few years to maintain the generators, then it works out fine. Resist the temptation to create a new DSL or programming language. Pick a language with a strict compiler, good typing system and good reflection capabilities and you are good to go. Ideally you code your app/abstraction once and then then everything else gets generated automatically by some build pipeline.

Official Beijing2022 apps silently collect audio
I mean... original UNIX was multi-process but single-thread. It time shared by swapping the current process out to disk entirely and swapping in the next runnable task. When you get to ignore concurrency that makes life simpler but I don't think you'd enjoy using a system designed that way today. And that's just one part of what most of us consider a "minimal" OS today yet was absent in UNIX originally.

I guess this is the coding equivalent of 1950s Nuclear Family nostalgia? Pining for something you'd hate if you had to suffer under it, idealizing the past, and ignoring how and why we got to modern times (the past sucked in a lot of ways).
And no need to worry about the Internet (as we know it) or cybersecurity.
Exactly, I have been in such high pressure situations several times with directors and CIOs breathing down my neck, but surprisingly I am quite composed in such scenarios. Severity of the problem at hand is in fact liberating as it is easier to focus. But that is not the case with interviews, when there is a strong "me" factor in the thought process.
It's fairly easy for Apple to prove their pure intention of "protecting the open web". Just implement web push notification and a few other top feature requests from ordinary web developers.
We prefer not to talk about that kind of total collapse of the rule of law, because it gives people ideas. It is not a necessary or desirable part of the discussion of judicial power. Nevertheless, you can just apply to a higher court and take advantage of their more reliable enforcement apparatus.
I have written some audio drivers for my own hardware and I still feel lost every time I start with a driver. Admittedly less so than the first time, but if there were decent up-to-date documentation it would really help a lot. (Perhaps my problem is more specific to ALSA documentation)

For what it's worth, Itajai in southeastern region Brazil has the lowest rate of parasitic infections among the regions at 37%. (your [1])

“The tech crowd” is not a monolith. The two issues are not exactly the same.

Nothing fruitful came of the MS IE bundling antitrust lawsuit. The browser still came bundled with the OS and was the default.

OS X doesn’t have any App Store limitations and doesn’t restrict browsers to only use the safari engine, only iOS does that. But iOS is not a general purpose computing device. It is a very flexible embedded device. I want Apple to remain hands-off on restricting what I can install on my laptop and desktop, but I see the security and privacy value in having my smartphone apps being sandboxed.

I have always been heavily critical of MS and far less of Apple. People are tribal. I do see lots of value in Apple’s safeguarding of smartphones and the authentication + payments spaces, even if it comes at the expense of competition on their embedded platform.
The FBI has indicted like four sitting LA councilmembers now over the past 5 years or so. It's amazing how corrupt our public offices are, especially at the local level. It's not just elected officials either. Both Sanitation and the Water and Power department are pretty openly corrupted, many other city departments too. The LA Sheriffs department has multiple gangs within its ranks, and the sheriff himself has been ignoring subpoenas on the issue.

> The reason is that micro frameworks give you more flexibility and in large projects this is gold since you have to deal with so many requirements and multiple stakeholders

Not my experience at all. The "new requirements" you mention are always about business, not technical. Frameworks like Rails, Django and Laravel solve a pretty good bunch of the technical challenges which, in my experience, are common to the 90% of everything we build in most web based companies.

I've seen this argument of let's use flask/sinatra/express/fastapi because I need the flexibility/it is just a simple service too many times. And every single one ended up in a frankestein mix and match of 10s of other libraries that some developer (
now gone, of course) decided at the time was the best thing in the world until he got bored.

Also, you're not forced to use everything in these frameworks. If you think your application just needs routing, you can also use them and call it a day. If it happens 3 years down the line that you need an ORM, then you have it right there waiting for you.

Also as power users. And I mean that in the broadest sense. I mean, as a 16 year old I already understood and liked the idea of OLE.

By pretending it is only for devs we limits its potential in everyones minds. Don't do that unless you want to preserve the current somewhat sad state of affairs.
> Apple just seems to be an odd foe for the U.S. to fight in this area.

Apple? The largest company in the world? A company 7x larger than walmart? Why would it at all be odd to accuse them on antitrust grounds.
Of course it's possible, the Unicode standard even has a table[0] you can use to build a DFA (Deterministic Finite Automata) to break up a string into grapheme clusters. You can reverse the DFA to match and yield the graphemes backwards as well, which will give you the reversed unicode string.

Generally, no; if one represents as binary gender “woman” with subgroup “trans”, it is implied and understood that they are not a member of binary gender “man”. That they are a member of subgroup “trans” is not relevant to resolving their binary gender either-or, in your example.

They might be “male at birth” or “intersex at birth” on certain medical paperwork, and those physical sex characteristic will remain unchanged in subgroup “at birth” regardless of any shift in gender or medical alterations to their present-day sex characteristics.

(To avoid any possible confusion, I’m keeping in mind that “male” is sex and “man” is gender, as this is often confused in discussion of these topics. One’s sex is a physical characteristic like one’s eye color or skin tone; most people assume that everyone has just one and that it doesn’t change, neither of which are true. One’s gender is a behavioral characteristic like accent or musical tastes; it can’t be reliably guessed from any physical characteristic, and it can change at any time, either gradually over years or all at once at a coffee shop or anywhere in between.)
Safari isn't protecting the web, it's killing it

https://httptoolkit.tech/blog/safari-is-killing-the-web/

The largest Safari complaint is unrelated to experimental features from the Chrome team: it's the showstopping bugs in implemented features, made worse by Safari's slow release cycle.
I think the question of free will is even simpler. It doesn't come down to determinism vs indeterminism because either way it's not "you" making a decision. At the lowest level (neuron or whatever) when a decision is "made" it is either deterministic (determinism) or probabilistic (indeterminism) based on physics but either way, where is the "you" in the process? Only way free will makes sense is if something supernatural is involved.

I think my, admittedly unstated, point is that most managers were incapable of doing an honest evaluation of computer equipment at the time. Someone coming up to a machine and fucking with it in a way that could produce useful work results, like making a random graphing machine display programmable names, would be a strong indicator that the machine could actually do something instead of being a complete gamble
I believe that's part of it. A jetpack gives you a lot less protection and the near guarantee of an uncontrolled fall if it fails. Airplanes with engine failures can still attempt to glide to a landing.

> That’s not because Apple used its market position to stifle competition

Of course they did, all the big tech firms do but Apple is perhaps the most egregious. Whenever Apple acquires a company it shuts that company down and integrates all the IP and talent into the Apple walled garden (e.g. Dark Sky), by comparison many of the other big firms are often happy to let their acquisitions remain available to users of all platforms e.g. Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Github etc.
Right, maybe you buy some car batteries like https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-695014148-bateria-d... on installments. Those cost AR$11890.99, about US$58, if you pay up front or 12 installments of AR$990.92 "without interest", but I think https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-911991344-bateria-p... is the same battery for AR$9100 with no installment option. But car batteries, though they can start cars, have certain disadvantages: they take up a lot of space, they're too heavy to take on vacation with you, if mistreated they may leak sulfuric acid all over your boss's desk downstairs (this got Thomas Edison fired once), it's difficult to sell half of one, and even just left quietly in a corner they may become worthless in a few years.

So you might sell them immediately and convert the results into dollars or something. Dollars are actually less divisible than car batteries, since the US$20 bill trades at a heavy discount, but more so than, say, motorcycles.

This is not a strategy I've ever used, but it does kind of make sense.

All of these things are pretty easy to do with Rails and Laravel. I don't see how Flask or express or the home made framework on top of those could make anything of this easier. Other than writing the code yourself and not needing to read documentation (which will be a problem for future maintainers) I don't see any advantage for anyone except the one writing it for the fun of it.

I kinda disliked the default bundling, but I have always been a power user so it never affected me. It’s like tech users that complain when a device/OS defaults to Google Search rather than Duck Duck Go. So long as I have the power to change it from the default, I simply don’t spend that much effort caring about the “tyranny of the default”.

And requiring that apps use the Safari Mobile browser engine doesn’t seem anticompetitive to me. I simply see the browser engine as yet another smartphone API that every smartphone OS requires that developers use (like a file system or a network API).

Modern browsers are a rats nest of complexity. I can’t go a day without HN-type people complaining about the resources that Electron apps suck up - full native browsers embedded into iOS apps would not be much different.
I would add that not all physical engineers have to get licensed to do their work.

So what's the difference then between that type of iteration and the type of iteration you see commonly in software? It sounds like the main differentiator for you is "doneness" or something similar to that?
In my experience an other common issue is a race condition in the trigger, aka the system is not quite settled yet when an interaction is performed leading to that not registering.

This is more likely when the system is loaded / shared e.g. a CI Vm.

It’s instructive to watch a screencast / recording of UI tests, because you don’t necessary intuit how spazzy and fast the harness will perform its interactions.
Immediate vs retained is not about "modern" vs "outdated", both are about as old as computer graphics themselves. One is better in some cases, the other in others.

In any case, the fashion (for the last ~10 years) is to consider immediate mode the modern approach, and retained mode an awkward practice of the 90s. So you can call "immediate mode" a lot, but you can't call it "outdated" when most consider it the new black...

CPython 3 does use UTF-32 under the hood for strings (there is bytes for plain sequence of bytes). As you say, it's the worst of both worlds. High memory usage, and not really useful if you are dealing with unicode characters (grapheme clusters).

My impression is most modern languages that bother with unicode (swift, rust, nim) are using utf-8, and doing linear time operations to handle unicode. I think that's the right approach, as I don't recall ever needing random access on a unicode string.

Maybe the guess order depends on locale reasonably. GP is my experience mainly on old days ja-JP localed Windows software. IIRC Unix software tend to not good at guess so maybe you referring them.

Nowadays I rarely see new EUC-JP contents (or I just not recognized) but still sometimes I encounter mojibake on Chrome while visiting old homepage (like once per month). For web page, anyway most modern pages (including SJIS) don't rely on guess but have <meta charset> tag so mojibake very rarely happen. For plaintext files, I still see UTF-8 file shown as SJIS on Windows Chrome.

Viewing Japanese only UTF-8 text is totally fine for Japanese localed Windows/Mac/(Linux but YMMV). So your case is to view the text on non-Japanese locale. It possibly have a problem but how SJIS solved the issue? What software switches font if it opens SJIS file? Is the app/format don't support specifying font/lang like HTML/Word?

I believe no developer want to treat foreign charset like GBK/Big-5/whatever. There are very few information. If developer can switch reading charset on a file, then they can also switch font.
