From the outside, Eric Schmidt basically put them on the current track and he long predates the acquisition. Most likely when the company was in its infancy and growing at high rates relied on cranking out products loved by all, it was easy to do the right thing/humor the founders (assuming they cared at least). At this stage though there is not much utility (as far as increasing ad revenue) in improving products, so its harder to hide what really mattered all along if they want to meet the growth expectations that the market/themselves have set.
I'm pretty sure the wild capture fisheries data includes shellfish etc. FAOs numbers for total fisheries production matches aquaculture + capture fisheries that says 'wild fish'. Often fish is used in a very loose sense in fisheries.
Well, he did manipulate a lot of people, but with no end result:

"But no deals were ever finalised. By February 2021, not a single client contract had been signed."
That looks quite far from accurate/complete/current.
Yes. I love my own father, but being the youngest of parents who started late (by their time's standards!) there's just such a generation gap. He grew up during WW2 in an occupied country, and in the fifties. He is - and always was - mystified by the popularity of most books, films, let alone things like computer games, despite having used computers since the fifties and having been a CS lecturer for his entire working life.

I think I have a better understanding of the world my own son grows up in. Not just in the big, generational sense, but in practical ways like remembering a lot about schools, curriculums etc. that is still relevant.
South of france, neither toulouse or Marseille. I'd prefer lower level languages, and as it was said in another comment, they're in lower demand.
Then is Private Relay equivalent to a two layer tor setup?
I'm torn about this initiative. MDN should be governed by a foundation that can be funded directly, with content that is accessible for all. By introducing a paid service with private content, it will reduce incentives to contribute insightful documentation and guides to the free version.
Lel, how?

John Doe from WI, paid his dues.

Once a year "John Doe" receives the e-mail with WHOIS info and a question if that info is still valid:

> We are required by ICANN to send you the whois information for these domains once a year. If the information is correct, no action is needed. Otherwise please visit our website and update your whois information

That's all.

Just don't use GoDaddy or some other shit registrar what can yank everything from you just because they are a stupid behemoth without humans in support.

Or do you think registrar has nothing to do all day and casually stalks it's customers? Sends their info to FBI to check? HOW?
Gopher would not and could not have won, for two very good reasons:

(Would not) -- it was more complex to implement, being stateful (and it lacked the markup flexibility of HTML, which was kind of a big draw)

(Could not) -- the University of Minnesota announced their intention to collect licensing fees on their Gopher server (and client, I think), which was invented there.

This was a key moment in the web's development, because as a response CERN disclaimed ownership of web technologies -- under some pressure from IBM, as I recall, and IBM threw their research weight behind HTML/HTTP[0]

And that was that, basically. All happened in a few weeks in 1993.

(I can't find you a link to a discussion of IBM's action, but I can describe in detail the flashback to a freezing-cold, excesively-air-conditioned Sun SLC workstation lab at the University of Reading where I first read about it)

People crushing on Gopher these days do make me smile. Sure, it's like vinyl records.

Why not just write it more simply as

Str = "a" "aa"*

Most languages allow writing tortured and hard to understand logic where simpler alternatives can also be written. I'm not sure why that should make people consider not using them.

Similar here. When I am searching for something and a website wont show it unless I enable JS on that website, then usually it is the case, that after enabling JS to see the content, I realize, that the website's content is worth nothing and that I activated JS for naught, regretting to have spent time on that website.

This is a good point in favour of context free grammar based parser generators. I think the trade-off is a bit more subtle though.

CFG semantics is nice and declarative when we specify which strings belong to the language, but a parser is a function from strings to parse results, and then the nice semantics stops working due to ambiguities.
The PEG semantics on the other hand naturally expresses such a function, and the function you get with PEG semantics is almost always the function you want.

When we look at character level grammars, the CFG formalism doesn't work well either. They fundamentally rely on greedy lexical token matching.

Extensions such as indentation sensitive parsing and user defined operators quite naturally fit into PEG style semantics, and are more difficult to integrate into CFGs.

CFG based parser generators are way more complicated internally than PEG based parser generators, which are extremely simple.
Funnily enough I’ve had cars cut me off in an unsafe manner to turn right in front of me so fast I had to slam my bicycle breaks… while I was going the speed limit.

Cars feel impatient behind bikes even when travelling the speed limit.

Also, if cars that aren’t able or willing to travel the speed limit are not forced to pull over for faster traffic… you’ve never been stuck behind a truck, old person or tractor?
Salaries in Europe are definitely subpar compared to other locations.OP should try moving to Australia. Lots of jobs and the salaries are very good even for junior/mid.

This is a judgement, dismissing an idea as ‘not useful’.
Sure you can, but it's not trivial to make the random seem like a human random at a large scale. What are the parameters of a human slide and what kind of distributions are they? And there might be things they do under the hood that affect those parameters like fingerprinting. You would need a lot of data to imitate a human, but the provider of the captcha has a lot more data than you to counter your effort.

Thats why it's usually just easier to pay some people pennies to solve them by hand.
The music is quite good! The covers of Freddie Freeloader and Flamenco Sketches are quite worth it, IMHO :-)
The parse tree from that would be different, though it would match the same strings.
They increase puzzle solving abilities/speed, just like any practice. Which means it increases the IQ measure, but not what people think IQ stands for.
Hmm yes, but when Kris Nova says it it's different
I think CouchDB/PouchDB do this similarly, the winner is deterministic though?
I highly disagree with the gist of your comment.

First, I'll mention that I generally agree that most people are not fit, that most people should get fitter, and that includes getting stronger. I'll also agree that getting stronger has tremendous real-world benefits, especially as you get older.

That said, you're pushing that message way too far and discounting cardio completely.

I think the main reason to get fit, for most people, is one of:

1. They want to live longer.

2. They want to have a healthier/better life.

3. They want to look better.

4. They enjoy it.

Different people have different goals, which are all valid. But you deciding that strength is the most important component of fitness is not true, for someone who doesn't share your goals.

For living longer, cardiovascular health is more important than strength, as is having lower body fat. That's the generally accepted view today - if you think otherwise, what evidence do you have for that?

For being healthier, after a certain amount of strength, I'm pretty sure that cardiovascular fitness is also more important, though admittedly I'm a bit less sure about that point.

For wanting to look better, this very much depends on the person. For most people, losing weight is the easiest thing to do to improve their appearance, though building muscle is probably the second most important thing. (I'm excluding makeup/fashion/etc which are completely different).

For enjoyment, well, that's completely dependent on the person. I personally love strength training and dislike many forms of cardio, but that's me.
> I don't think I ever experienced any sort of dangerous situation caused by a cyclist while driving.

Lucky you. Besides red light crossing and driving on the wrong side of the road the worst thing i experienced were cyclist in the night without any light or reflective clothing and a drunk cyclist who decided to suddenly change direction, both on country roads. Fortunately, exept some very hard breaking and cursing, nothing happened.
> wtf is: ((x: x x) (y: y y))

Well to be fair i don't understand this syntax. But i guess i should be able to learn it in under one page of docs.

> wtf is stdenv, wtf is mkDerivation, wtf is a setup hook, why are othre build systems hacks on top of the autotools defaults, and not clean alternatives? etc. etc.

But yes my problem is that i don't have a list of standard options and their types so i end up doing copy-pasta of what works in another package and adjust until it works. On a higher level, i've found it harder than expected to turn an existing package declaration from nixOS into a source-provided build file to try and build a specific branch. Or to use an existing NixOS declaration to build a reproducible (and installable) liveUSB as there seems to be various tools doing this job but i couldn't get any of them to build successfully.

I'm interested if you have good learning resources to share!

The coal price [0] is completely out of control. When there is that much money on the table, it is impossible to have any impact by buying a company and shutting down coal fired plants early.

AGL is more at risk of shutting their coal plants down because they can't afford the coal than because of any boardroom activism by M C-B.

Although I would be buying coal mines if I had that sort of money. Not to shut them down, but to get rich.

An interesting challenge in the CRDT era today, is that there isn't an ideal CRDT for rich text yet. I mean, not just simple boundary based formattings like bold/italics but also complex block based elements like tables and lists.

While recent CRDTs like peritext has done an incredible job of focussing on this specific problem of rich text, even that project hasn't extended its types to cover table operations and list operations. I've been thinking about this problem deeply and my intuition is that anything that resembles semantic trees are tricky to deal with using a generic CRDT.

For example a generic tree/json CRDT cannot be used for an AST tree - and it will most likely fail. I wrote about this a while back - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29433896

If you have ideas on how to approach this problem, join us on this thread https://github.com/inkandswitch/peritext/issues/27#issuecomm...

They’re likely also trying to push users to their app.
I think PEG let people think they can get away from the complexities of grammars because there are no ambiguities when you express them using PEGs. This is not true: the ambiguities are still there, and you still have to think about them, otherwise PEGs will generate "garden path" parses that make no sense.
I think the sweet spot for parsing medium and high complexity languages is autogenerated lexer + handwritten recursive descent.

Does the law office receptionist get to tell a lawyer which pieces of evidence should be brought to trial, and which shouldn't? What are the parameters and limits around 'managing' attorneys? I worked in a couple law offices (office stuff and deliveries) and while there was some 'management', it was generally 'top down', and had to do with billable time and court deadlines. Coordination between lawyers to help each other or work on a specific case together happened, but even then the deadlines were generally based on external dates, and were generally not company-imposed ("gotta get all these items done by Q3 for the Q4 launch!")
Hasn't everyone done at least something similar to this? I'm surprised, I re-define C quite often when I'm bored.

Hungary has a great approach. The "cycling" infra is shared with tractors and carts outside of cities. They're basically agricultural access roads.
You write a lot without addressing my point, basically disregarding it: The point is the bank having deliberation when it comes to making a decision about the source or legitimacy of the money.

This is the job of a judge within a court where the defendant can argue otherwise (to the legitimacy of his money). Period.

Any other system (KYC/AML) should have been anti-constitutional, especially today when most transactions require a bank account. If KYC/AML is required, it should be done by the state (or the local government) itself and let the bank be, you know, a bank.
Sorry, you seem to have some kind of reason for believing a hardware test harness is more valid than a software test harness? Can you explain? Aren’t both just two types of harnesses?

Also a bit amusing since harness is obviously a term borrowed from something else that does already exist. I hope you’re always clear to say “hardware test harness” in case any equestrians are nearby and start ranting about hardware devs never being clear!
Some do, some don't. But so do drivers [1]:

> In 2020, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 56% of cars exceeded the speed limit on 30mph roads compared to 53% on motorways and 12% on national speed limit single carriageway roads.

And that's just speeding. Drivers are constantly breaking the highway code in other ways. If you notice cyclists doing it, but not drivers, that's because you've dehumanised cyclists.

I've often wondered how Americans see the world. I have a lot of family and friends from there, and something about meeting them is striking.

The rest of the world gets an enormous amount of information from America. I've never lived in the US, but I know all the states. I couldn't write out all the counties in the UK. I know more US supreme court justices than combined from all other countries. I know the presidents going back 100 years, which I can't say I know even for the countries I've lived in for decades. I know some names of people who play the local sports there, the ones that aren't played in Europe. I even know brand names of businesses that don't have a European presence. This is all stuff outside of celebrity culture, where of course you get a huge number of US singers and actors.

What happens when you go to Europe and everybody knows a bunch of stuff about your home country? Does it surprise you? Do you ever run into people expecting you to know how the economy of Sweden was doing in the 90s? Or what the Departements of France are?

But there are highly abundant stocks of wild fish that can be harvested sustainably en masse, like pollock, it's really hard for scalefish aquaculture to entirely outcompete the simplicity of that — allowing nature to feed your fish and control all the necessary variables. I don't think we'll see capture fisheries totally disappear.
I am puzzled why didn’t they lunch their own VPN to the world and instead got a rebranded one and it’s still restricted only to few countries. To me that’s another proof they’re just not great at operating.

The original point, although not fully written out, was that the elite schooled grandfather thought it would be more effective to build housing with shared bathrooms, but he neglected the humane aspect(s) of living.

Somewhat ironically you are falling into that same model of thinking.
Mind underlying where I am spreading the values and propaganda of 'refreshed "neoconservative/nationalistic" right wing parties'? I would like to not do such a thing if possible.

I'm quite surprised that so many don't realize that there exists an entire category of people that are not radical, but do hold opinions on some reforms that should be taken, including the quote that started this conversation "our ineffectual administration".
What makes you think that these cost-benefit analyses are not being done by municipalities and related agencies all the time? Roads require upkeep and revision of their layout as a matter of course, or else London would still predominantly feature cobblestone roads suitable for broughams rather than SUVs.

Any action they take will 'cost something', even not doing anything (lack of repairs will cost you double in the long run).

Don't worry about 'funding by the users'. Cycling is a net-positive for population health and government goals (exercise as well as less congestion and pollution); by that logic users should be paid for riding a bike! Besides, most cyclists pay taxes already; or are you advocating charging pedestrians for the use of pavements as well?
Free content drivers people to the paid version. Is not like this model doesn't work. It's on every SaaS out there.

Plus, some content just isn't worth privatizing, like documentation.

> Unfortunately the rac breed is not very healthy and usually does not live more than five to seven years.

That's a gross misunderstanding of the topic! A Rac's natural lifespan is easily in the twenties, it's just that they're a display of status and virility, so those 5-7 years are actually the time after the original owner sells of the Rac to the less fortunate.

It's quite the irony. An animal held at such high esteem, but only as long as its young and fit, even though its ability to serve its purpose does not diminish significantly after the aforementioned time.

EDIT: regarding lifespan: I have a Japanese Crowned Rac which fell seriously ill at the age of 15 - mostly due to the first owner's mishandling. I can't bring myself to euthanise it though, as in its time it has been a loyal steed.
"By itself, WebAssembly cannot currently directly access the DOM; it can only call JavaScript, passing in integer and floating point primitive data types. Thus, to access any Web API, WebAssembly needs to call out to JavaScript, which then makes the Web API call. Emscripten therefore creates the HTML and JavaScript glue code needed to achieve this."

The difference is that only people who accepted the consequences of tinkering bought those products back then. We knew that if we messed up and bricked it, that was on us.

Consumer devices are made for consumers - people who don't know how to create. If they follow some messed-up tutorial on YouTube and brick their device, they don't see that that's their fault. They complain to the manufacturer and expect a replacement or a refund.

So manufacturers have to protect themselves from these people, by locking the device down so you can't mess it up. It's not to stop us from tinkering with it. It's to stop the consumers from breaking their stuff "accidentally".

Through time and through various guest interviews I've gotten the impression that some (most?) who created borg/kubernetes did basically all of the work that Docker did creating containers but are upset Docker has all that recognition.

Make sure to also account for edge cases like countries without an extradition treaty that still enforce it (i.e. Maldives) and countries WITH an extradition treaty that do not enforce it (like Venezuela).

Operational safety focused professions (not just ER) have shift change meetings, where they tell the people from the next shift what they should be wary about.

> In conclusion, contrary to your JS experience, I'd say that I spend over 90% of my time browsing w/o JS and am happy with my experience. Things are lightning fast and I see few or no ads. I don't need an ad blocker since 99% of ads just don't happen w/o JS.

Well, you still have lots of tracking stuff loaded probably, unless you got something extra for blocking trackers. A tracking pixels does not need JS. A font loading from CSS does not need JS. Personally I dislike those too, so I would still recommend using a blocker for those.
