I cannot fathom how you've come to this conclusion. I've been to 100 Kroger stores in my life and not one fits your description.

Those are misaligned incentives at the very least.
In your example, `has_my_thing` then has to be able to handle any possible input (even if it's just to say "I can't handle this input). Example: length of objects/hashes, and length of arrays.

And, sure, I guess you could `Array.has_my_thing(some_array)`... but that's just re-arranging the mixin structure behind `Array`. It only looks different until you start peaking under the hood.

IMHO, sometimes you want a function because in your problem domain there's a universal (or universal enough) act/question/etc, and sometimes you want a member function because in your problem domain the act/question/etc only makes sense given some particular context.

Very true, which is why it's such a scam to sell extended warranties here in NZ, as you get almost no value for it. Yet allot of the big retail chains still do it.

Can't speak for the rest of the world, but my team has been using an NX monorepo with a standard types library that can be imported into any application in the monorepo. It is trivial to use the same interface, enum, class, or other type-enforcing mechanism across multiple frontend and backend services. The development experience has been quite nice, and refactoring/changing the data structures is a breeze. If you are in the Typescript world and haven't looked at NX...check it out.

By the way, echoing some discussion above, we migrated from Express to NestJS, and it was an excellent decision.

I agree with you on all of these points. I was simply advocating a system viewpoint (perhaps poorly) but you did a better job explaining.

By concrete, do you mean cement specifically? Or is there additional CO2 from the process of using aggregate?
I've emailed with a lot of folks on this website and it's far cry from Silicon Valley centric.

I would love to hear from someone who complains about "centrism" as to why. This is a pretty new thing I've seen as far as a complaining trend. Across my childhood I was on IRC networks that were either based outside of the US or in gaming communities that were international. I never once sat around wondering about how "centric" any of the communities were, even though many of them completely diverged from how I knew life to be.

It's realized right now -- as a heavy sweaty low res tech demo not many people would want to for long. I don't doubt something like that will eventually be possible as promised. However, the tech is so far from being there, I don't think it'll happen in our lifetime.

The Wrong Battle of Opioids
There are so many lies, told by so many people, when it comes to drugs. Truth is a casualty of prohibition. Very interesting to see another take on the pain pill overdose and addiction tragedy in the USA.
The fight over alternative payment methods is fraught with misunderstandings. Apple has always stated their intention to collect the 30% regardless of what payment method you use, because as far as they're concerned it's not a payment processing fee. They view it as a platform fee that you pay for access to iOS, the App Store, and other services, and so far regulators and governments have agreed with them on that.

What's changed here is that Apple has now set a number to the "payment processing" portion of their fee. This gives them a way to cave on alternative payments while still retaining the bulk of their profits.

You don't need to implement chaining for X.foo() to make sense. It's object-oriented syntax. If anything, languages like Python are the odd ducks here, mixing magical globals (len(X) => X.__len__()) with plain-old OO syntax conventions.

That Ruby also implements X.foo().bar().baz() is a weird thing about Ruby that can be very powerful, but is unrelated to the dot syntax.

I feel like roughly half of Ruby programmers treat it as "Lisp but better", which leads to confusion about the OO aspects of the language.
This is convincing to me, thank you.

...which is exactly why the comment you're replying to says that physicians discourage them. That's missing the point; noisier devices are indeed not going to be great at improving the existing applications. But there's a whole world of other possibilities out there as long you don't try to substitute questionable data for good. Like monitoring over time, or between-patients studies where you get additional significance from large numbers, or even just fishing expeditions where you see what the cheaper and more deployable stuff is capable of. Not everything needs the best and only the best.

> Rather see a focus on new magnet technologies to reduce cost without loss if already marginal clinical MRI resolution.

Why not both? The work required is going to be pretty different.

And chaining them together is a time-honored technique: use the quick cheap thing to detect reasons to dig in with the fancy stuff. Your base rate may be low, but if the quick check is negative then the adjusted probability might drop it below some other cause that you'd be better off looking into.

Data is good, just don't fuck it up.
There are fixed patterns in still images that appear to move when we perceive them. "We don't experience reality directly" and calling it a hallucination seems apt - the thing we experience when we look at things is less "what's actually there" and more "the best guess our brain can construct about what's there".

Additional examples of this include the non-perception of the visual blind spot, how the brain fills in details in the middle of saccades, and how task-specific training causes perceptual differences (eg, thrown baseballs look bigger to professional batters).
It is basically the yellow pages on the internet model that a few people tried and Google killed. I'm not sure what we can learn from the fact that Google is regressing into the model they killed in the first place.

Elixir (and some other languages as well) solves this with the pipe operator:

some_array
|> do_thing()
|> do_another_thing()
|> do_something_else()

Even though Elixir is functional and aggressively not object oriented, if you squint at this pattern you get the readability of an OO-style method chaining API.

> But it seems people have warped “interpreted” to mean JIT to compensate for the advancements in scripting runtimes. That is a bastardisation of the term in my opinion.

Python's not JIT, either. It reads bytecode - which AFAIK is just the source code but tokenized - and it runs it, one operation at a time. It doesn't compile anything to native CPU instructions.

It’s not really true that there are no other options for web development in ruby.

Roda[1], for instance, has a strong following for API work.

It’s just that Rails is a safe choice. It’ll will work fine for small teams and it will scale to the size of github when/if you need it.

MiiVerse/WaraWara Plaza - Nintendo's awesome pseudo-social-network for the 3DS and Wii U; twitter was (and is) a vastly inferior non-replacement.

StreetPass - Nintendo's strange and clever system for sharing Mii characters, short greetings, and game data via ad hoc peer-to-peer wifi and asynchronous relay; reason enough to take your 3DS everywhere just in case you might get a streetpass! (Technically StreetPass still works but the Nintendo Zone relay stations have been shut down and the 3DS has been discontinued.)

PlayStation Home - Sony's largely pointless, generally unpopular - but free! - proto-metaverse for the PS3 that never made it out of beta but lumbered on, zombie-like, for several oddly fun years.
This is hilarious. Workers should accept below market wages to help the economy? Mr. Bailey appears to have forgotten the difference between employment and charity work.

Why is tying software to hardware anti-competitive? It's commonplace in literally everywhere, from washing machines to televisions to game consoles to CNC machines to cars to tractors. An overwhelming majority of hardware is sold with software included, and is designed to work with that software alone. Why are we trying to force iPhones into a special, narrow category they are actively avoiding? Why do we need to make the distinction at all?

> Why are supposing that all rich people made their money through online advertising

If you replace "all" with "most," which is how I phrased it, then your sentence sounds like this:

> Why are supposing that most rich people made their money through online advertising

Ok now we're onto something interesting, but I can see how you might be still struggling with the phrasing. May I suggest to reformulate as follows:

> Why are supposing that most rich people made their money by selling something for more than they paid for it?

Perfect! So we just have to answer if in the context of most people who became rich, "online advertising" = "selling something for more than they paid for it." I would argue that you can sell things without advertising them, but you certainly have to make people aware that you're selling those things one way or another (and mind you, in the context of rich people, you have to do that at a very large scale). So when answering how MOST rich people attracted attention in 2021, and that AT SCALE, I think the above is not so untrue (you will certainly find many who ALSO used TV and other channels, but very few people with a TV budget had a $0 paid social budget).
They are being prosecuted in droves currently, and lots are in the queue. Most are only getting a couple years, but that will basically ruin their lives having a federal felony on their records so it's not like they're getting off easy. Some of the leaders are getting 5+ years for conspiracy and such.
That hasn't been my experience at all over 10+ years.
In the real world, breaking the law in any number of categories can lead to community service or other "jobs" within the prison system.

It really doesn't take much skill to break into a car or a house. Anyone can learn how to do it within an afternoon and anyone can learn to protect from it within a few afternoons without learning how to break in. Gaining access to digital systems requires a wide range of skill sets and at least a subset of those are generally required to learn how to protect from it properly.

(out of context) It depends, I personally definitely like the yellow variant when it's foggy or snowing. On some days I'm very sensitive to white light (kind of blinds me), I'm currently guessing that it depends on how much I slept throughout the week?.

Here ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Tokyo_To... ) is a pic of the Tokyo Tower in Japan => I read that apparently they often use yellow light during winter on snowy/foggy days to provide a sense of "warmth", during summer they tend to use more often white light => interesting.

I think the author's example of time_calc compared to ActiveSupport's 1.days.ago syntax speaks to why ActiveSupport is used so much and that sometimes it's OK to do the wrong thing to make everything else easier. The time_calc API looks just awful to use I'd rather deal with the implications of potential Ruby "magic".
Sort of. They introduced "refinements" as the thing you're supposed to do instead of monkeypatching, but AFAIK it doesn't get wide-spread usage.

IME you don't usually do monkey-patching, although there are circumstances where it makes A LOT of sense (usually test suites). It's one of those sharp knives - safe if you plan out using it, dangerous if you don't.
In other languages (like Kotlin), that extension is actually not done on the object, but is a statically imported function and it's only syntactic sugar. This avoids all the pit falls (no collision, knows where the function comes from etc)
Sounds like waylaying to me. Hear me out...

I can see a reasonable processing fee, and even a reasonable establish-the-purchase fee. Perhaps in the order of - or a bit more than - a credit card. So maybe somewhere between 5 and 15%. (Depends on how much more likely users find an apps through the app-store as opposed to a web search.)

Anything above is abusing Apple's market dominating position. Especially because there are no (official) ways to install 3rd party apps on iPhones et al.

Just MHO.
Dennett's position makes perfect sense -- if Dennett is a zombie. For a zombie, to whom subjective experience (SE) is not even a thing, the "hard problem" can only mean: why do people talk about SE? So that's what they set about explaining.

However, I don't think Dennett (or any human) is actually a zombie. The difficulty, is getting people to recognize their own SE. Our vocabulary, all about material and mechanisms, can't actually define SE. Instead, we have a few ostensions by which an attentive experiencer might recognize his own SE:

[Descartes] SE is that one thing, which absolutely must exist.

[Nagel] SE is "what it's like, to be...".
He adds, that all our science is fully consistent with SE not existing. That's why it makes perfect sense for a zombie to believe it doesn't exist.

People with metal implants and bullets can often still have MRIs with some additional screening/safety measures. There may be advantages to operating under live MRI guidance but I'm not aware of any research on that. Even with low fields, you still would get artifact from having metal near your target of imaging.
I saw this myself months ago with my father. He calls me up, and tells me that Google is only showing him ads, and he can't find any actual content. I figured it was some kind of malware he installed, but nope, I get over there and it's exactly like this screenshot. The entire first screen of results was ads. Then when I scrolled down, there weren't Google ads, but just a bunch of SEO spam. Wasn't gonna waste my time figuring it out, so I put him on DDG, and his problems were solved.
That screenshot was shocking.
It truly has been a slippery slope to get here. So subtle I barely noticed the group shifting beneath my feet.
Right but that last one is the problem...

It would be interesting to understand why load increases more quickly than thrust for increasing blade counts.

Do ducted fans have similar changes in load-to-thrust ratio given an increase in blade count?
At the risk of sounding like someone who clearly doesn’t have the skills you’re talking about, what do you mean by “reading the room” here? Knowing when to push things, when to drop them, being trusted enough by management that they don’t blame you for failing to meet absurd requests?
I'd pay $10/month for a nerd-only, developer-friendly, pro-small-biz, precision search that works like 2008 version of Google. Something that I use dozens of times a day, is totally worth paying for.

Story started[0] week ago, on Jan 31, 2022 when old screensaver in a form of flightsimulator demo flights found "on a crusty old Windows 95 computer originally from Lockheed Martin" by «Lazy Game Reviews».

On Feb 2, 2022 Soji Yamakawa[1], original developer of this screensaver & YSFlight flight simulator, commented[2] that he found source and now released it as open-source:

> Someone found my screensaver left in a PC that once was used by Lockheed Martine, and posted on YouTube[3]. So, I excavated source code from my backups and set up build for Windows and FM TOWNS OS.

> I made source code available from the following URL[4]

> I never expected someone finds my screensaver from a quarter century ago. It was so amazing!

> I didn't remember where I released it. But later I found that it was included in a CD-ROM bundled with a book I published back in 1996:

Soji Yamakawa, "3D Screensaver SDK Saber", ASCII, 1996, ISBN4-7561-1403-2

> I think only Windows version screensaver was in this CD-ROM. So, I believe it is the first release for FM TOWNS.

> It requires 486DX or faster (needs FPU), and it needs to be launched from Towns OS V2.1 L31 or newer because the executable is in .EXG format.

> I have tested on Tsugaru[5,6] (an open-source FM TOWNS emulator - ed.)

Great to see several people from Mexico!

BTW, the fact that only the US country has options separated by state reminds me of when I lived in Europe, and sometimes we got together with a bunch of international. Invariably the "where are you from" question would pop up, to which almost everyone would answer with their country... except Americans, who would answer with their state haha.

Once, I asked someone where they were from and I think they answered some random US state, he then asked me the same, and I answered with the state where I am from in Mexico... he had no clue where that was hahaha.
...but that fifth dependency makes all the difference!

$ go mod init foo && go get github.com/spf13/cobra && wc -l go.sum
758 go.sum

$ go mod init foo && go get github.com/muesli/coral && wc -l go.sum
10 go.sum

(Number of lines in go.sum != number of transitive dependencies, of course, but the scale of the difference still hints at how much extra is being pulled into your project.)
With some US states weighing in at dozens of millions of people, and me having a Swedish father, an Icelandic mother and Danish residency, I would have voted for "Scandinavia". Currently at 75 points (Sweden + Denmark + Norway + Iceland), which puts us after New York and before Colorado :)
Adding Finland for "The Nordics" does not change our placement.
lol, OK what was the query? let's see the DDG and Google results side by side.

I swear people always say nonsense like this and when I ask for specific queries they stop replying. Check my history if you doubt it.

I don't doubt you saw ads, but Google very strictly limits the percentage of the screen that can be ads or percentage of results. If you can find a single query in which every result on the first page is a sponsored ad I'll send you $5 via Venmo right now, no questions asked.

people just like saying 'omg all my screen is ads' and then they crop their screen showing like 20% of the screen on a 1080p monitor. >_>
