You either trust my company with your data, or you don't.

The idea that storing your data, encrypted at rest, on spinning rust platters inside your country somehow makes it safer than storing that same data, encrypted at rest, on spinning rust platters inside my country, is bizarre to me.

But that's fine. I think giving you the choice makes tons of sense. I'm not saying France should have a law forcing all data to be kept in the US. I'm saying it's bonkers that I cannot offer a product in France that happens to store data and process data on a server in the US. Even with a waiver. French citizens do not have the right to let their health care information be stored on a server in a different country. (As I understood the laws, at least - perhaps our legal representatives were misinformed.)

If you want control over your medical data, then I'm sorry, none of the existing tooling does what you should actually want it to. It should be stored on systems you designate. Not on some lowest-bidder French server that has unknown security practices.

It's amazing to me that you're lecturing me about other people's rights, when you're literally denying French people the right to buy my product, unless I meet some ultimatums. I'm not denying them, you are.

And you talk about consequential to their lives? My product lowered costs and had better patient outcomes, and we couldn't sell it. Maybe try a different argument.

“:w !command” (e.g. “:w !wc -l”)

Another fun one is “:%! command”, which pipes the current content to command, and replaces it with the output. (E.g. “:%!jq ‘.’” - to pretty print json). Pretty useful to quickly iterate when building a complicated command with multiple pipes.

Thanks! Most of the "how" is shared in another reply. Really it's just an array of strings that keeps a cursor (and technically a stack for interruptions that pop off before returning to the cursor in the list). So posting a fresh list to the service that runs it is a common use case. Loading saved lists, routines, some things have state machines that inform task creation but that complexity I wax and wane finding all that useful.

The book "the checklist manifesto" informed some of this philosophy behind the tool(s). To learn new things specifically is spaced repetition and keeping a backlog of things to dig into. One practice that has stuck is a list of reminders / active ongoing things that I burn through when making a hotlist. If I'm good I'll actually do what I load, if I'm not I'll load it with good intentions and skip things or take it out as the day gets hectic. Nothing really more than you'd do without the one item at a time system.

It's all a work in progress and malleable since it's exclusively mine. If I come up with a better way then maybe that's what it will morph into.

Very true, the only real difference is that Airtags are simply a better product, but that means their use as stalking devices (along with their legitimate uses) is now much more practical and casual.

I think the real long-term solution is for Apple to open up the U1 chip/protocol so at the very least Google/Tile/Samsung are able to implement the same countermeasures Apple has, if not use it in their own tracker devices. It would probably cost them revenue, but I imagine it would be worth it compared to the negative press they're getting from this, particularly since they're also making huge strategic missteps wrt App Store 3rd party payments.

The carbon cost of extraction and transportation of fuel should also be added to the spreadsheet, both for nuclear and for fossil fuel generation.

Finally, if we're accounting for the cost decommissioning old nuclear stations and long-term storage of nuclear fuel, we should also account for the externalities of fossil fuel power, such as health consequences of pollution, the existential risk from global warming, and turmoil due to geopolitical tensions.

I think it’s hard to explain it because the very definition of OOP varies per person. Often people who hates it worked with a codebase that took some OOP principles to the extreme. E.g. I worked in a code base with extreme levels of abstraction where literally everything is a class.

That said, any principle including FP, taken to an extreme can produce a very tiring codebase (I’m guilty of doing this :p). So its not really OOP’s fault
A lot of this game is yet to be solved- it would be rather unfortunate if one of the most useful words in a top strategy happened to be a slur, meaning that those wishing to "solve" the game would likely have to include said slur in their strategy.

We have enough land on earth already. Land is not actually the solution to any problem on earth. But Mars is the solution to a potentially big problem on earth.

And the technology to manufacture fuel from solar and nuclear energy, building advanced life support system, advancing the state of rocket technology, allowing much more use of sat technology, massively advancing science planetary/biology/(and more), controlled high efficiency farming, human health science, mobile hospitals and so on, will all be developed and have many applications. Even things like battery technology for this use case will have interesting question to ask and can have impact on batteries on earth.

So if it was literally just the backup to life, it wouldn't be worth it, but its not done in a vacuum.

And its inspiring. A whole generation of engineers all around the world were inspired. And the moon landing did bring humanity together to an extent, many people even in the Soviet Union talked about 'we' landed on the moon.

Seems to me to be worthwhile to push at the very least to a small settlement, and from there you can see if its makes sense to continue.

FTA: it’s complex as in “military-industrial complex,” speaking of combination—of real and imaginary parts—rather than complication

From first introduction in middle school math all the way through undergraduate university math to reading this tonight at age 55, no teacher or professor or book I recall has ever stated that "complex" meant "multi-part." I always thought of it as "complicated." Yes we learned "real part" and "imaginary part" but that was never connected to the name "complex." An exercise left to the reader, I suppose.

Math education has a long way to go.
To continue my hot take from earlier, OO wasn't supposed to "hide" it anymore than FP was supposed to. Rather, OO was supposed to be about changing the metaphor of the program as you are writing it.

This is most easily seen if you consider a TON of the domain specific languages out there. Logo, PostScript, DVI, GCode, etc. Many of these are "move to X" "put down pen", "move to Y", "pick up pen", etc. Very imperative and how you would talk to someone on how to do something.

So, if your objects give meaningful verbs to control the state that they maintain, it works rather naturally to reduce the code that you have.

Now, most OO today, that I see, embraced objects as records. And goes out of its way to not encode any language of behavior in the code they let you write. But, I don't think that is enough of an argument to say that abstracting some active objects into an OO paradigm is a waste and can never help.

You have created quite a strawman. Nowhere in my post do I even mention Affirmative Action. Yet your entire defense of the seemingly natural urge that "progressives" have to treat people differently based on skin color is predicated on one aspect of their prejudice. But progressives support the use of racial prejudice in many aspects of life. Most, actually. In fact, racial preferences are the foundation of modern progressive thought.

In either case, your defense of racial prejudice is duly noted.

It is really weird in 2020 we are still seeing those largely ideological essays against OOP.

The solution is simple, there are tons of languages to use today in a single service/application. Just create your own and put it on the market for validation, if OOP or not is really at the center of productivity then it will be addressed.

Otherwise, I really don't understand the point of such rant posts, feels like marketing and personal flexing.

Walk me through exactly what you would like to happen.

If you think the best outcome is that only radiologists who live in country X can look at your medical images, then please really think about what that means for under-developed countries.

Please also think about the fact that people have medical imaging exams 24 hours a day, and think about where radiologists live and sleep.

The next time you get a CT scan and have to wait 4 days for the results, you'll know that your hospital system doesn't have teleradiology.

> Starting today, by the time your first nuclear plant comes online, you will have been forced to deploy an alternative making it redundant.

The delay is because these power plants are supposed to replace existing power plants that will be taken offline in 13+ years. What’s notable is they aren’t 1:1 replacements so they are going to end up with a lower percentage of nuclear power.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France#/media...

PS: I reference the a 5 year delay because that’s roughly when you’re spending real money. France could easily back out of this plan in ~7 years having spent less than 1% of what it would cost to actually build a reactor.

Just a good excuse to roll up my sleeves and get some code written for something I otherwise have no business digging into. It's fun and keeps me well rounded.

The thing is it wasn't flowing out, except in some specific ways, and in spite of decades of low to virtually zero interest rates. Every QE event has led to a ballooning of the stock market and asset holdings on things that can be mortgaged, which are both things that disproportionately benefit only some of 'everyone'.

This is the point I'm making. Interest rates stopped being a lever a long time ago, whether by choice or because the abstractions economists have built up are proving to be less universal than they believed them to be. Either way, the money has largely just sloshed around everywhere but regular people's cashflow.

It definitely does also lead to 'easier' lending to those people as well but the interest rates that get paid on consumer debt (ie. credit cards) aren't really related to central banking interest rates, and are often bordering on usurious anyways. Through that, the finance industry effectively collects taxes on the poor that the government is unwilling to (for good reason).

Fixed link: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard

AirGuard is great. They optimized the app to the point that it doesn't even show up in my Android device's battery usage statistics anymore. It's a set and forget app that scans for AirTags in the background automatically, but also when you trigger a manual scan. It's free and open source.

Apple's Tracker Detect app for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.trac...) doesn't have automatic scanning, and requires the user to open the app and tap the button to manually scan for AirTags. It also forces the user to wait 10 minutes before they can make the AirTag emit a sound. I'm glad that the Technical University of Darmstadt made a better solution and released the source code, too.
> These days, the more confident-sounding and charismatic someone is, the less I believe there is anything interesting I can learn from them, and the less I trust them!
