I'm not sure callbacks alone can be equivalent to a resumable conditions system. You really need full coroutines in the general case. Anyway, what you are proposing is more of a partial alternative to exceptions, since the caller has to be aware of what's 'handled' in advance, whereas conditions may additionally unwind up to a predefined restart point or fail up to the caller similar to a non-handled exception.
I think this is a misinterpretation. The exemption applies only to the new regulations regarding entry to the country, probably because there are some cross-border reserves.

It is, however, very likely that these new powers will be applied selectively, not according to how disruptive protesters are, but according to whether their message is congenial to those in power.
Can you point out where these requests are secret? I can't seem to find it.

>That’s not subpar, that’s standard. There’s a reason why macbook touchpads are so widely praised.

Trackpad improvement in current gen PC is a very recent thing. After people trashing PC laptop trackpad for years, and Microsoft throwing in some R&D money to help improve the situation.

And again if you are comparing to a Macbook, most PC speaker has been garbage for years. Only when reviewer start comparing their PC laptop speakers to Macbook did they start to put effort into improving it.

I dont know any reviewer actually said it is Macbook Killer. It would actually be a stupid thing to say. ( Show them to me so I will take notes ). But I am not surprised because current generation so called reviewers have practically little hardware and supply chain knowledge.

There are of compromise being made to have it all fixable. But they also put in the extra effort in motherboard reliability design. And things that aren't so obvious. Compared to Macbook which is all integrated. ( Although that is changing now, you see more individual components "blocks" being used )

I think it is an expectation problem. And may be people should not have overhyped it so much.

Yeah. I only saw that sign a couple times during the early COVID days and just payed with cash to see what happened and they took it without questions.

Making the whole thing client side also let him scale from a small handful of users to literally millions with basically zero additional work.

I hope it inspires future devs to let go of feeling like they absolutely need to beg or require users to create accounts to capture email addresses just so they have a chance at monetizing their thing. Wordle may not have ever caught on if it were preemptively over-engineered: it could've added friction to the onboarding, the site could crash, etc.

You can just build a great MVP and let it loose into the world, then see what happens.
In theory, sure.

In practice that's bullshit and you know it. The .gov, be it state local or fed, has show time and time again that it's not above prosecuting someone for a "failure to X" crime of which the failure was caused by the .gov's own action.
And that can be bypassed by closing the tab again.
TDD is hard to learn and it does ask us to type in more code so the benefit is not immediately obvious.

Most of us do not spend all day just typing in the new code, there is a lot more to it: reading existing code, deciding how new code will fit in, running new code, debugging etc. I've found TDD means I spend less time on all that other stuff.

The system's external name is IssueTracker[1]. Internally it's name is buganizer. Buganizer has been around forever (or it already had a ton of bugs logged when I started in 08).

It gets (ab)used to store tons of semi structured data with a pretty good siloing and
acl capability (including allowing Google 3rd party partners to work on issues). This data includes bugs but also tasks, workflows, approval processes etc. Buganizer is very api-first so many different tool frontends use it as their backend.

Generally every huge leap in bug numbers was associated with buganizer assimilating another tracker's bug database (from acquisitions and similar). For what it's worth no issue tracking system I am aware of has avoided buganizers huge gravity well. I expect this trend to continue.

To be clear, I was not the person you were responding to, simply someone describing a relatively old set of philosophies.

We're talking about the classification of a 170-year-old journal that operates out of the UK. I don't think the suggestion that libertarianism (particularly American libertarianism) is largely irrelevant when discussing The Economist is surprising, or shocking, or even terribly controversial. The suggestion that it would start a flame war is particularly odd as far as the content of the suggestion was concerned, although the tone of the comment you were responding to was a little blustery.

I'm sure a lot of the staff of The Economist and a lot of libertarians hold, say, Milton Friedman in high regard.

The clear cut distinction between classical liberalism and libertarianism, however, is not merely my own personal opinion. Although the intellectual landscape is complex and variegated, there's a fundamental difference in how the two lines of thinking argue, and what they accept as first principals. Classical liberalism is an institutionalist view that derives policy decisions using a utilitarian set of values that balances rights against other measures of well-being and sustainability.

Libertarianism, conversely, uses a first-principals rights-based way of approaching decisions. Just as an example, here's the front page of the Libertarian Party in the United States:

"<The Libertarian Party> is the only political party that respects you as a unique and responsible individual. Our slogan is that we are 'The Party of Principle' because we stand firmly on our principles. Libertarians strongly oppose any government interference in your personal, family, and business decisions. Essentially, we believe all Americans should be free to live their lives and pursue their interests as they see fit as long as they do no harm to another."

This is pretty close to antithetical to classical liberalism. Classical liberalism explicitly seeks to suborn individual rights (which are not enshrined as intrinsically valuable) in a way that doesn't make us worse off than we started. The minimalism is classical liberalism is about outcomes, not about rights.

Obviously that's just a cheap banner page and not representative of libertarianism to everyone. I was surprised to find that it was closer to the original French meaning than I expected (which isn't important, but might be interesting).

I think NY,CT, NJ are some of the few states with a kind of reciprocity agreement in place that makes this a bit easier.

I’m in Portland, OR and pre-pandemic, we’d have no issue hiring someone in Vancouver, WA, because they’d drive 15 minutes to our Portland office. Now, we choose to turn them away because of the bureaucracy and worry that we’re going to do something wrong. One day we’ll have to cross that (metaphorical/physical) bridge, but we’re not there quite yet.

It’s really easy for big businesses that have big HR departments and/or already have a physical presence in another state. But for 15 people, one doing HR part-time, it’s just not worth it right now.

The article claims "Amazon [...] benefiting from the forced labor of Uighur Muslims in China", but that really just translates into "amazon buys goods made from factories in reeducation camps in Xinjiang". That doesn't really contradict or refute what the parent poster said, which is that consumers are the ultimate benefactors (presumably from lower prices).

I suppose your claim that "profit that Bezos has realized from Uyghur slave labor is part of the reason he was able to buy a half billion dollar yacht" is technically true, but that's more due to weasel wording than anything else. The sentence gives an impression that one of the reasons why bezos could buy the yacht was because of Uighur labor, but strictly speaking the "profit" could be anywhere between one cent to half a billion dollars.
Or, differently, the right to property supports all of the other rights. If you can't own, use, buy, sell property, you have no freedom of speech, assembly, or any of the others.

Freezing the assets of anarchists rioting in the streets is wonderfully Canadian, and I salute you. But locking people out of the banking system is not just limited to digital realities, I know because I had my bank account taken away from me 30 years ago. The practice of locking people out of the banking system, usually because they deserve it, is in fact exactly what is fueling the check cashing industry. It is what creates a subclass of homeless people. So I guess I'm just trying to say that this is nothing new, and it is certainly not unique to the experience of a few anarchists who don't want to wear their masks.
> world population is leveling off because we’re approaching many of these limits to growth

Is it? My understanding is that as economies become richer, healthcare improves, infant mortality decreases and parents reduce their birth rates because they need less children to “hedge their bets”.
It’s a fun thought but how do you define infrequency and what is an interesting word?

ANESTRI is a very uncommon word by most “normal” measures (it’s the plural of anestrus, a period of sexual dormancy) but it’s (among) the most likely (by probability) 7-letter word played in tournament Scrabble games — there’s something like 9 anagrams of ANESTRI.
The approach we're exploring for such integration is having the host pass a VkCommandBuffer/MTLCommandBuffer to the guest, which then records its dispatches onto that (the guest also having a VkDevice/MTLDevice handle for resource creation). This has a downside of requiring a single CPU thread at the integration point (and also not exploiting async compute on GPUs that legitimately run more than one compute queue in parallel), but on the other hand it avoids cross command buffer synchronization overhead (which I haven't measured, but if it's like GPU-to-CPU latency, it'd be very much worth avoiding).

Going direct to Metal, instead of through MoltenVK, would seem very appealing to me. Metal is pretty easy, and the idea of having an extremely light runtime that Just Works could be really nice for the user experience.

If you're planning to open-source the runtime, I'd be happy to chat about my experience building piet-gpu-hal. I haven't actually tried running any machine learning workloads on it, but I think it could be adapted for that without too much pain.

I call these "Gilded Words." They're all new and shiny, superficially expensive, but with little to no substance under the surface.

This article actually has things to say. It would say them better if it referred to "integrity" and "breach of trust" and "principles," which, like "decency" have specific meanings, and do not leave me wondering what a moral center is, how it relates to a moral top, and what it even means to "harm" this novel abstraction.
"Not all emotion is fake..."

Agreed. But when people are incentivized to show outward indicators of certain emotions, people aren't particularly good mind readers which makes it hard to parse out fakers from the authentic, it leaves the door open for opportunism, smarm, passive aggression and a different flavor of toxicity.

The way I see it:

Authnetic and happy?

Fantastic!

Authentic and morose?

Not ideal but if the person makes positive contributions and can be trusted theres potential for value add.

Inauthentic with a sunny disposition?

This screams underhanded, manipulative and untrustworthy. Fuck off.

Makes me think of an adage from Warren Buffet.

"We look for intelligence, we look for initiative or energy, and we look for integrity. And if they don't have the latter, the first two will kill you, because if you're going to get someone without integrity, you want them lazy and dumb."

"reasonable perceived effort" or maybe "reasonable perceived smarts". I think wordle fools us into thinking we're smart. Even though on some level we know it cannot take genius, it _feels_ like we've done something really clever, against the odds, when when we whittle down the possibilities to one word after just few guesses. It's counter-intuitive how quickly we solve it. Reminds me of the birthday paradox.

>This setup is not a turing machine but this exact setup plus a while loop to repeatedly call xsendkey for Enter is

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. And that's why the title is misleading, it's not really Notepad++'s search and replace feature that is turing complete on it's own, because turing complete means "can *Simulate* an arbitary turing machine", the 'can' here is not meant to imply a "if you sat next to it and repatedly pressed enter" kind of remark, it just means you can vary the machine being simulated by varying the input string, but once you enter an input string into the turing-complete system, it should be able to simulate the machine on it's own while you step back and watch. That's what the original machine would have done anyway, so how can you 'simulate' a turing machine if you need something it doesn't ?.

Leave Notepad++'s search and replace feature on a text file containing a transition table for 10^9 years, would it simulate anything on it's own ? On the other hand, leave a JVM running for 10^9 years... you get what I mean.

This is mostly an informal philosophical disagreement on the actual vs. the potential, real academic proofs of turing equivalence side-step the matter of simulation entirely by describing the systems involved in static terms. It's implicitly assumed there is a background animator stepping every system according to its rules.

But I think it's relevant to our intuitive definition of what a computer is, I don't think anyone ships their programs in a form where the user needs to invoke a debugger and repeatedly press 'step over' to get to the next state of the computation. Those kinds of "X is turing complete" headlines circulate on social media and leads people to think 'X' can actually act as an automatic computer, but little do they know the author uses their hand as a hardware clock without really calling attention to it.

> Has he ever worked a minimum wage job in a call center, being the human punching bag for the company's infuriated customers?

I have, at a credit card company. One day I spent 90 minutes arguing with the credit department for a limit increase on behalf of someone who was dying of cancer. I failed to convince them, and quit the job not long after. That wasn't the only reason, but it was one of them.

Granted this was many years ago, but I'm nonetheless not sure quite what point you're trying to make here. Managers shouldn't be expected to behave with moral probity because they and their reports are well compensated? It sounds like that's what you're saying, but I'm not sure how that makes sense.
In Argentina there's a service named "Pago Mis Cuentas" (Pay My Bills). You can add all your services (gas, electricity, cable, internet, taxes, etc).

When there's a new bill for the services you added, it's displayed on a list with checkboxes right beside each one of them. Check the ones you want to pay, click Pay, and you're done. It's linked directly to your bank account. The website was created by a bank consortium.

Is a service like that what you're talking about?
