The German government has a broader view than just this. See the Project Gutenberg case. PGLAF has zero presence in Germany, yet the German government claimed jurisdiction simply because the website had German-language content.
Meh. Is this a hot debate still?

No mention of Ruby or smalltalk in this post, which i think of as "true" OO languages, down to the runtime. The ruby object model has its merits! Sandi Metz's POODR is a fantastic intro into OO _and_ a compositional approach to design.

FP vs OO is always a false dichotomy for sure. Actors and messaging appear in FP languages. Inheritance surely has nothing to do with OO. Inheritance means nothing for data, and it's almost a bug to extend Record types.

In short, this post seems to rage against inheritance and blind use of design patterns, not the spirit of OO. But the post also qualifies that "that is what an OO advocate would say".

Consider Typescript. The same program can be written with `class`es, or as a module of "loose" types and functions. Really, lets pick a mix that best represents the problem we're solving? I think OO can be a _useful complement_ to FP and other paradigms.

Austrian theories appeal to me/seem correct beyond just a kernel, but I’d consider myself an amateur/haven’t read enough to be confident about my opinion.

Specifically, the emphasis on relative value seems correct, the emphasis on the importance of keeping pricing signals pure/unaffected by artificial monetary supply changes to effectively allocate resources seems correct, the argument that market incentives exist for keeping interest levels reasonable without centralization seem correct, and the argument that central banks are incentivized to mismanage monetary policy over time for political reasons seems correct.

The counter arguments against Austrian ideas that seem most compelling to me are that having non centralized currencies leads to financial inefficiencies that outweigh any benefits of having market determined interest rates because of exchange friction, and that a lack of planned inflation and adoption of more hard currency would mean the velocity of money would be low and cause the economy to lock up.

I’d be very interested in a book advocating the more traditional view in favor of central banking aimed specifically at Austrians and people like myself who find the Austrian arguments compelling.

If anyone here has more economic knowledge and thinks I mischaracterized the arguments I found compelling, garbled them, or misattributed them, please correct me.

> The UWB chip on the Airtag can only help iPhone know how far away it is from the tag.

I thought the MMIO antenna array would have indicated a rough direction of the signal.

But perhaps that isn't accurate enough to be useful? Since the distance is accurate to a few cm and the iphone is moving, it can use it's own calculated position from the computer vision data to apply multilateration to multiple UWB distance samples over time.

How did you figure she was "maligned" exactly? She was extremely well-respected and well-connected. She wrote the tracks for the Commodores that got them signed to Motown Records as well as wrote "Uptown for the Chambers Brothers. And this was in the 60's long before she ever met Miles. Barry Gordy even offered her a job as a songwriter for Motown. She put out her first album and had the Pointer Sisters singing backup and Sly and the Family Stone's rhythm section backing her. You don't get that type of backing band on your debut record without a lot of respect. I mean Muhammad Ali and Richard Pryor were fans and would turn up at her shows. Also I don't believe she ever saw herself as even part of the Rock and Roll world, she was straight up Funk.

Twirly numbers, to me.
Such nostalgia! My first computer was a second-hand TRS-80 / "CoCo 2" [1].

The thing came with a couple cartridge-style games (Downland [2] and Sokoban), but to do anything more you had to learn to program. I still remember that old-book smell cracking open the aged parchment in my dog-eared copy of Getting Started With Extended Color Basic [3]. I was around 10 years old, and that summer I took it with me and read a few pages every morning on the bus to summer camp. I was such a nerd. (Somehow one of the older campers found that attractive and briefly became my "girlfriend".)

It had an external 5¼" floppy drive nearly the size of a shoe-box, but I got a bigger kick out of using the cassette recorder for storage since you could see it in action and hear the distinct squeal of your data (sounded something like a modem). My friends and I played a make-believe game that emulated adult life (we'd get jobs, use monopoly money to pay ourselves a salary, demarcate homes by taping out floorplans on the floor, etc). I was the "banker" and started writing a program to record deposits, withdrawals and balances. I recall planning UI's by meticulously coloring in squares on a paper grid.

Dad complained I should spend more time outside, and maybe he was right. But I grew up, published my first commercial software title, and turned that geeky interest into a fulfilling career.

One thing I gotta say, that TRS-80 still booted up faster than any PC I've owned since!

> Also, it seems even the delivery apps lose money. So everyone is losing except the consumer that is getting a product for below the true cost?

Maybe, your cost for "delivery" is high - but most things are so much more expensive on doordash without dashpass that often I'd rather just use their app to order free pickup so I don't have to explain my accent to a human over phone.
Your thought intrigued me and I wanted to look further.

So there were plotters, which would need to be photographed, like you were talking about, but there's also this:

> And then they were the electronic or microfilm plotters. It works in a similar way as the mechanical plotter, but instead of a pen, it uses an electron beam and instead of paper, it “draws” on microfilm. The idea is that it plots an electron beam in a cathode ray tube, runs it through a camera lens system, which records these beams onto microfilm. I think of it like how a CRT display works, but it also exposes light onto film. The microfilm can then be viewed via a microfilm reader, printed or even animated."

The mom and pop Chinese, Thai, Korean, have always delivered for free in my south Florida city. I’ve also passed by the restaurant and it was tiny. Like 1 table, 2 chairs. Whatever they weren’t spending on dining floor space was used for delivery. In retrospect you could say they were the primordial ghost kitchen concepts.
I only played with Small talk in school as it was before my time but it was great. As I am working at a large Ruby shop currently, Ruby is a lovely language. Ruby really does solve many of the issues I had with Java. Its a very elegant language. I think the behavior of any object taking messages is great, though thats not used much in professional code it seems. I think more people should give ruby a shot.

I do wish it were a bit faster ,but hopefully truffle ruby, sorbet, yjit, etc. can put in the work to fix that.

Mathematical LaTeX editing in Emacs with automatic inline rendering of math, tables, and TiKZ diagrams.

It's hard to imagine this getting popular because (a) it's Emacs, (b) LaTeX is a pain and Overleaf is pretty nice, (c) I think it would require the Auctex team to want to adopt my implementation, and combine their expertise and code to parse LaTeX math delimiters as reliably as auctex does, (d) I only use and develop Xenops when I'm studying maths, which is not much now I have a real job again. But Xenops is nice to use.
I just found this too. So strange to have a useless prong--maybe it's just for mechanical support? IMO if thats the case they should make the whole prong plastic to indicate its lack of electrical function.

No Nonsense Recipes - https://nononsense.recipes

I built it mainly to scratch my own itch out of frustration with recipe blogs and their endless stories and photo collages before they get to the point where they actually tell you how to make the recipe.

It seems a pretty common complaint, so I thought other people might be interested. I added a subscription because I don't like ads and tracking and everything that goes with that. A few people have signed up but, so far they all cancelled before the end of the free trial. I get a lot of use out of it though, so I'm pretty happy with that. It's cheap to run and gives me something to tinker with now and again.
I found this kind of usage of vim extremely helpful when doing Advent of Code in 2020. I saved myself a lot of boring string processing code by using vim for quick fixups on the input files. A little judicious usage of visual mode and the g command can definitely save a lot of time.
Check constraints can compare new values against bounds different than the column's type definition. Like maintaining a SMALLINT between 1-100. Or one could even write trigger based checks that ensure integrity among multiple records' values. (Though I don't recommend it unless the constraints are unlikely to change or one has little control over app layer validation.)

Because even a phone number is not enough to keep out bots.

Some VoIP providers do a PAYG model, so you can choose from any number of phone numbers, regional, local landlines or from mobile numbers for free and only pay when you make a call or answer their answerphone.

Now obviously Twitter will send text messages so you never incur a cost from the VoIP provider.

So how does a phone number solve bot activity?
In a self hosted model developers would host SFSQL on their own infrastructure, which could be AWS, Google, Azure, DO, etc.. There is no reliance on us. Yes we are maintaining the API and underlying implementation. Software is a Service thus the subscription model.
I don't see why this is so bad. Already Intel makes 2-core chips by deactivating 2 of the cores in 4-core chips. Adding the ability to turn them on later is a good thing. Why pay for the whole thing up front?

Ok, you can finance the better chip instead. But why pay a bank instead of Intel for the consumption later?

In each of those, the “x” originates from Nahuatl where it had a sound of (or close to) English “sh”, which is also the sound “x” had (maybe still has, though I’m pretty sure there has been shift in Iberian accents/dialects since then) in certain Iberian regional accents of Spanish at the time, which is how “x” got into the Spanish spelling; it wasn't a stand-in for a mystery consonant.
> Threading mostly-irrelevant state through a bunch of different functions is a sign that your program is under-abstracted.

The problem is that often you do want fairly complex state in the leaves of the tree, but want very little of it in anything else. Web browsers are a classic example of this. Pure FP solutions such as Elm that completely eschew the idea of local mutable state require a lot more ceremony to implement something like a form (the classic thorn for Elm users). By forcibly moving up the state to the root, you sometimes end up needing to pull some fairly severe contortions.

E.g. the usual answer to move the state back up to the root in the land of statically-typed, pure FP is to express it in a return type (e.g. a reader or state monad, culminating in the famous ReaderT handler strategy in Haskell) or in the limit bolt on an effect system instead. The usual answer in impure FP is to accept some amount of mutable state and just rely on programmers not to "overdo" it.

But from a certain point of view, writing an elaborate effect system whose very elaborateness might cause performance issues and inscrutable error messages sounds suspiciously like trying to work around a problem in visualization with an over-engineered code solution. And from another perspective it feels a bit like a trick. If some function has a lot of state, then I would hope by opening up the definition of the function I'd see how it all works, but with an effect system all of a sudden I've split things up into an interpreter that actually performs the mutation and an interface that merely marks what mutation is to be done. It feels like I've strewn logic around in even more places than if I just had direct stateful, mutable calls there!
> No one should have to work a job where their mental health is constantly in jeopardy.

Agreed. But you’re using the term mental health as mutually exclusive to mental unhealth (unhealthiness?). I’m asking what the effect size is (assuming that there is an effect) and whether it can be modeled on a curve.

Edit: (addendum). It should go without saying that many people work in environments that are to some degree unhealthy for them and don’t have the luxury of switching.
Would love to see some evidence of your claims.
Thank you! Yeah absolutely it was influenced by AoE, more in a thematic sense rather than the gameplay which is more influenced by grand strategies and Total War.

Come to think of it, there's really no reason I can't release it on Mac since it's Unreal Engine, apart from me not owning a new model that can run it. If the game's a success (hopefully!) it would definitely be worth getting one so I can build for it.
Begun this clone war has!
This is not a "all regulations are bad or all regulations are good" argument. This is about an oxymoronic statement. I feel that you and previous commenter have trouble differentiating the two.

> regulations often help to make free markets more free.

No. They do not. That's nonsensical. The whole point of regulation is to exert control over something for better or for worse, depending on the situation. That's the exact opposite of freedom regardless of the consequences.

Your analogy is poor because it doesn't mirror the original quote. A better analogy that mirrored the original quote would be, "We need to murder people in order to save their lives." It makes about as much Orwellian sense as saying, "There's freedom in slavery."
I knew of an old thai man who's face looked like he was 80 and his body looked cut and jacked. He also preferred to sleep with a thin mat on a hard tile floor with his wife in a house where there were multiple clean, usable beds to easily sleep on instead.

So if your body adjusts to it, it's definitely possible to actually prefer it.
1. It seems to mostly be a me problem, on reviews of other coworkers PRs her comment seem reasonable. That could just be not fully understanding scope or task at hand.
2. I believe it's in good faith. Sometimes comments will be helpful for when I forgot a specific convention or missed something small.
3. I have not had a direct conversation as I'm not sure how to go about it or phrase it. We seem to have a good relationship and I don't want to potentially ruin it going about this in the wrong way.
4. We have basic standards: X amount of required reviewers, all PR feedback resolved appropriately, PR contents fully address acceptance criteria for the task at hand. Pretty standard stuff in my experience for code review
Thinking of accessible no-code application needs a robust drag and drop library not just capable of dragging and repositioning the DOM element but also comes with high performance. So I made DFlex (https://github.com/dflex-js/dflex) where the DOM tree stays untouched, with the same order but the elements change their positions with CSS transform only. That's done without changing the element position to Fixed or absolute. I've added some features recently to handle huge numbers of rows up to 1k elements but still, there's so much to do.

What's different from a thief stealing my bag and carrying it around in their car versus me putting an airtag in the exact same location without them knowing?

If a thief has my bag I definitely don't want them knowing they're being tracked. Maybe I don't quite understand something about this announcement.
I hate advertising more than ever. I consider it a form of rape, no joke. I’ll not tolerate it at all, for any reason, ever again.
If I understood correctly, this still doesn't protect you against custom Airtags using embedded boards[1]. You could just use any serial number you want and maybe even incriminate other people by using the serial number of their authentic Airtag?

I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic but this is horrifying.
The core issue here are the CLOUD ACT and FISA Section 702.

Basically the US government says it gets free access to all data stored by any US company or its international subsidies anywhere and that non-us-citizens have absolutely no right to any data privacy at all.

However european citizens do have such a right, and as such, companies can not process personal information using american subprocessors, because those can not guarantee to respect the citizens rights.

For a long time this was all about some contractual clauses between processor and sub-processor: the american subprocessor guarantees by contract to respect the data subjects fundamental right to data privacy.

And then the USA made the CLOUDA and FISA and all those contracts are no longer worth the bits they are encoded in. American companies are by law required to not respect the right to data privacy and can not guarantee to respect it in good faith, as they are themselves subjects of a surveillance state.

Now look at how AWS reacted to this problem: they added new clauses to the contract with their european customers, in which they promise to challenge law enforcement requests, especially those that are overbroad.

When EU goes after FAANG like this, it pushes them to position themselves against mass surveillance and in favor of a global basic human right to data privacy. In my honest opinion this fight is very necessary and i can only hope that humanity wins against surveillance capitalism in the end.
