That the term came from Ada (or the research that went into it) is my understanding, too.

It may be associated specifically with Alexander Stepanov [original C++ STL author, but also active in early Ada], or work he did in the early 80s (which contributed to Ada, I believe, and then into C++): http://stepanovpapers.com/

"David R. Musser, and Alexander A. Stepanov: Tecton: A Language for Manipulating Generic Objects. In Program Specification, Proceedings of a Workshop, Aarhus, Denmark, August 1981"

and

https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/from-mathematics-to/978...

"Generic Programming. The language Tecton, which first used generic programming concepts, is described in “Tecton: A Language for Manipulating Generic Objects” by Kapur, Musser, and Stepanov (1981). The Ada library is described in the paper “Generic Programming” by Musser and Stepanov (1988), and C++ STL in “The Standard Template Library” by Stepanov and Lee (1994). All of these materials are available on www.stepanovpapers.com."

Parametric polymorphism though was present in Standard ML and other functional lanagages from the mid-70s on. But not called generics, and not "generic programming" per se. So, hm.

This sounds interesting, have any artist recommendations?
It sounds like you're looking at the iOS app, which may well have a sensible reason to exist.

I presume the GP, on the other hand, is talking about an Apple Watch app, which would only be doing something the Apple Watch already does.
It's semantics at this point but we did not create ourselves, it was a complex process that took billions of years to create each one of us. Something being conceivable isn't the same as it being practically possible. I can imagine what you propose, but the same goes for traveling to distant stars or a time machine for going to the future. All perfectly possible in theory.
The largest and only tank factory has gone idle for lack of parts.

Russia had a "Made in Russia" program for the military. But apparently bribes let many side step the rules and post proud "Made in Russia" announcements in the press, while basically relabeling imported parts. Even more amusing is a fair number of those parts come from the Ukraine.

More factories isn't going to help, and these days it's hard to steer, power, target an enemy, or communicate without chips, which Russia is running very short of. Intel, AMD, and even Russia designed CPUs (Elbrus) are hard to come by, TSMC (and other foreign fabs) are honoring the sanctions.

Apparently even the basics like steel are getting hard to come by.
Welcome to the United States. The dysfunction is real. We spend lots of money on dumb stuff, but we can’t agree on where to spend it better.
At the end of a series of delightful riddles.
I'd buy an updated Element in a minute. Meanwhile I'm holding on to the one I have. And I'd never hose it down.
I’ve been using it, almost its entire life.

Awesome app. One of my “must-have” apps.

I use Xcode for most of my day-to-day iOS/MacOS stuff, but BBEdit, for all my server work.
We might be arguing for the same thing, but semantics... Anyways what I'm getting at is, the victim-fetish, because let's be honest it's turned into a fetish, is a way to absolve yourself of responsibility. Maybe guilt is just that extra step of superficial absolution from your own actions. Kind of like a classical Catholic confessional. Forgive me father for I have sinned, I'm such a baaaaaaad boy. Look at me, I'm admitting to "bad". I'm innocent now....

Hell, it does seem nice to just feel guilty of stuff you literally can't control instead of admitting to the stuff you could control. Which goes to the victimhood. If you're a victim over every little thing, then "it's not my fault!" I mean... this is just going to be a long rant that's going to require me to explain one thing after another because there's a lot of nuance... probably the moral of the story, to what end does "math is racist" even serve? If someone sucks at math when it's deemed racist, they'll still suck even when it's not. Math "being racist" isn't why someone is a lazy, useless parasite on society. That person is the problem, but they don't have to face that fact not only to themselves, but society even rewards them by turning a blind eye on the dumbass waste of human potential. Maybe because society has collectively become more and more useless. Hell, maybe there's an evolutionary trait that sparks when a colony of mammals becomes too vast and wasteful, so it starts to self-cull. I don't know. Math... right... if you're too fucking stupid (this doesn't mean who I'm directly replying to by the way) to do math when it's racist, I promise you'll be too fucking stupid to do it when it's anti-racist. Because math hates you, just like it hates all of us. Equally. Put on the ball gag and nipple clamps and maybe... just maybe... math will give you a little tickle if you take your paddling well. Damn... I'm tired today... go away now...

Two-Per-Day Capsules from Life Extension, either directly from their site or resold via Amazon. It's everything you should need, in a capsule form which should have no problem coming apart in your stomach. It's around $15 a month.

If you want the ultimate, look at Life Extension Mix, which is 9 big tablets or 14 capsules per day because there's so much stuff in it, but this is overkill for most people (and at something like $50 a month it is not cheap).
No, both sides have different realities they don't like-

Reality Progressives don't like:

- Gender correlates with biology

- Giving chronically homeless people housing won't fix their homelessness

- Not charging serious crime won't lead to safer neighborhoods

- You can't fix societal disparities by changing who is at the top and bottom of a pyramid of privilege

- Demonizing the wealthy won't lead to any productive outcomes

- The amount of GDP consumed by government already should be manifestly sufficient to fix the things government is capable of addressing efficiently

- Universal Basic Income is a pipe dream with no mathematic or social basis in reality

- Getting rid of religiosity without replacing it with another moral foundation will lead to progressively worse societal outcomes (and progressive thought is in no way an adequate replacement)

- Shouting down unpopular opinion doesn't make those opinions go away

Reality conservatives don't like:

- Locking prisoners away for long periods leads to greater gangsterism and lifelong criminality

- Racial disparities, whatever their source, need to be addressed systemically for society to prosper

- Making huge changes to our atmospheric mix is 100% likely to lead to undesirable outcomes- the globe, and humans as part of it, will not prosper with large changes leading to unknowable outcomes in our biosphere

- Education is essential to social mobility

- Social safety nets are essential to social mobility

- Free markets are rarely free of defect and tend towards capture, either regulatory or monopolistic, and need frequent intervention to function efficiently

- Even if you've felt deceived by the media, making it a point of pride to doubt anything/everything you hear opens you up to those who will manipulate that doubt for their profit and power

Either way, the smugness both sides have in being sure they are the 'righteous/scientific' side only opens them up to lack of self-reflection on whether their side is correct on a particular issue. If you're sure that your 'sides' agenda is correct top to bottom, you've assuredly sold yourself a bill of goods.
I've noticed the IPs on their relatively newer servers using "xTom" as a provider are being incorrectly identified as Russian by some IP based geolocation services... it's a bit hit or miss.

I'm guessing xTom acquired an IP block from someone in Russia a while ago and IP geolation databases are just very slow to update.
Instagram is their social media platform of choice.

Facebook core probably doesn't have the user base they need to build a new product. Based on the user base of Facebook, what could they possibly launch that would be a "hot" product.
Don't let that mislead you: This is much more than a simple parser library. It's really a big chunk of what a compiler does, as the title advertises. Yeah, you need to handle the actual runtime part, of course.
The Grammys are just the music industry establishment patting itself of the back. I think its probably a very poor indicator of quality as music production has become increasingly decentralized.
In terms of people thinking startup founders being over-confident to the point of being caricatures — There's a huge amount of survivorship bias. For any one successful startup, let alone momentarily "successful" ones like WeWork and Fast, there are probably thousands of startups that don't go anywhere (mine included).

Maybe founders of startups that don't go anywhere fall within the self-doubter camp? They don't survive, so the world never hears about them. Only the successful, over-confident ones.
I thought "charge more" was in at least in part about patio11 encouraging people to negotiate for higher salaries, and not sell themselves short?

This seems rather pro-worker to me.

Though he is of course very pro-business as well. Maybe the difference is that some people think you can be both?
You're just restating the original point in a more convoluted way. Yes, Apple makes money from scams such as this. No, it's unlikely to be anywhere near the amount where it would matter, even in aggregate.
Notes from the MediaWiki team: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improveme...
It's not like I don't understand their problems/goals. Just yesterday the person I was spending time with showed a cat video from Facebook, and as I seemed half interested only, she asked me if I like animals.

I love animals in real life, but that doesn't mean that I love watching videos of animals on a screen, for me it's not the same experience.

The main goal that I see social networks addressing with many people is entertainment, but I feel that it takes away from my social life with people, that's why I have aversion to short videos for example.

Facebook didn't have these short videos forced on me, but just a few months ago it started to show video reels for me, and I couldn't stop myself watching them.

After bringing the settings back to just showing what's happening with my friends, the next time I opened it, it started showing addictive videos to me again.

Youtube disabled showing downvotes, which was the best signal for me to see if it's worth to see a 15 minute video, or if it's just a spam talking about nothing for 15 minutes just to optimize content length for the algorithm. And shorts are not a solution, as they don't have any depth either. Also it started spamming me with new channels that reupload videos of interesting people from years ago just to make me think that it's new content.

The main problem for me working on social networks is that making profit can't be separated from making people addicted to the lowest forms of entertainment (I'm a Xoogler).
I would like to advocate making one's OPML files human-readable. It can be done [simply] or [ridiculously] -- and then the result is aggregatable in its own right because it's an established format used by every RSS reader.

Putin's mysterious Facebook 'superfans' on a mission
It's GPL 2.0, on github, which makes it ridiculously easy to fork, tear apart, debug, etc, given your time and ability.

That said, I would like to see it self hosted. I think then and only then will I give it a serious look.
I serve several sites off an AWS EC2 instance, all are dynamic REST endpoints with DBs in their own `tmux` instance. I also have a five line nodeJS process running on another port for just my static page. All of this is redirected from AWS/r53/ELB. The only pain in the arse is setting up all the different ports, but everything runs in its own directory so there are no dependency issues. I've tried to ramp up with docker, but I always end up finding it faster to just hack out a solution like this (plus it saves disk space and memory on my local dev machine). In the end my sol'n is still a hack since every site is on one machine, but these are just sites for my own fun. Perhaps running containers directly would be easier, but I haven't figured out how to deal with disk space (since I upload lots of stuff).
Self-hatred and self-criticism are separate things: the former an emotion the latter a rational process.

We live in an emotional age and thus it is easy to conflate the two. But they are different.
Just launched CryptoDelos suspect transaction registry
Hi,

Just launched a suspect transaction registry for Etherium Mainnet, and ICO'd a new token:

The registry: http://www.cryptodelos.xyz/
The ICO: http://www.cryptodelos.xyz/sale

Would love it people would take a look.

Regards
I don't know if that's really true - if you're renting the server from a cloud provider chances are you can bump down the instance size if you don't need the extra processing capacity... and if it's a server you manually maintain I think lighter usage generally decreases part attrition, though the other factors in that are quite complex.
It's only that hard if the person in question is dumb enough to be using a pseudonym instead of opting for anonymity, since having a name opens up your attack surface and chance to fail. Hosting a site or some kind of infrastructure that you have to actively interface with also counts towards this.

> No, you don't get to change what I said to fit your worldview. The 70's and the 80's had tons of multinational companies that didn't treat their employees like cattle, and that treated each of their branches as its community.

And were those companies acting as stewards of small communities, taking some of the role of local governments? If not I'm not sure how it applies.

> It's curious why your cynicism doesn't cut both ways...

> Just as it is easy to find evidence of corruption at all levels of government.

It does, and I agree. The difference is that with elected officials you have a mechanism to do something about it. How do you change the agenda of a company that controls the economy of the town you live in? You're not on the board, you can't feasibly get enough of the stock (if it's even public) to sway their strategy.

I will lay out my argument very clearly, again, so there's no confusion, and I will make some parts explicit that I left out that people seem to be making assumptions on.

- For any group in power, you cannot control their future actions. Any person that acts in a way you agree with today, may not act that way tomorrow. That extends to all politicians and all management of companies.

- Because of this neither a company, or interest group, or individual, whether elected or not, can be relied on to work in your interest in perpetuity. I do not view a governing body or a company in any way as superior or inferior to each other because both can go bad.

- Having some way to incentivize or change those in power is important because of the above.

- Citizens of a democracy have some power to do this. People that rely on a non-governmental body for this are thus relinquishing some of their control to affect whether those in power if they are working against their interest.

- Therefore in the absence of evidence that a specific governing body is better or worse than some company in meeting the needs of a community if given the resources of that community (e.g. lessened tax burden and favorable treatment by the community and local government), choosing the apparatus that you have more control over is the better choice.

I am not making any claim that an elected government at any specific instance of time is inherently more likely than a company to act beneficially for a community, but I wholeheartedly believe that since the community can change that local government, they are a better choice to have the power.
I suspect that iMovie still sells Macs. Maybe not singlehandedly, but it's an important factor.

I don't want to say "there's nothing like iMovie available for PC's", because I frankly suspect there is these days—but I don't think there's anything normal people know about in the numbers that know about iMovie.
If you've seen examples of GPT3 you'd know this is already possible.
Cool - checking it out!
Ok, so you're confirming that you're doing exactly what I said popular science articles often do.
I think TIPs are in the 4% range. Not close, but still pretty high based on recent ranges.

I would just buy stocks and keep rolling LEAPs (long dated options) to cover the downside risk of different scenarios. Then you can fine tune exactly the risk you want to take and the premium you want to pay. I-Bonds are not that attractive and the rates are not great when you take into account inflation. Plus there are a million ways to get a better tax outcome with stocks, tax privileged accounts, loans, tax loss harvesting, etc.
Why did you decide to separate the input, formula and output into different sheets?
I hate open office spaces too.

My method of dealing was to eliminate noise with earplugs and headphones.

But visual distraction was more destructive and depended on the orientation of the desk - depending more on luck.

Arthur: What does it say?

Ford: Harmless.

Arthur: What? Is that all it's got to say? One word!

Ford: Well, there are a hundred billion stars in the Galaxy, and only
so much space in the book, and no one knew much about the Earth of
course. I managed to transmit a new entry off to the editor. He had
to trim it a bit, but it's still an improvement.

Arthur: What does it say now?

Ford: Mostly harmless.

I think this History Today essay by Alexander Lee is about "marginal
discourse". Things start off recorded in excruciating detail, then
refactored through history like Chinese whispers. Boiled down,
eventually into a set of snappy aphorisms and sound-bites, at each
stage something gets filtered. Some things get amplified, some get
omitted, some get distorted. Marginal hermeneutics is analysis, much
like the model in signal processing where if you know a source and
final signal you can infer the parameters of the intervening filters
[1]. Instead we ask, what kind of writers, societies and norms did
this narrative pass through to end up this way? By doing so one might
work out which voices were off-centre by observing which ideas get
filtered.

It is a more sophisticated version of "History is written by the
victors", instead there's a long chain of victors, revisionists,
reinterpretations and exaggerations.

[1] this is how speech analysis and synthesis works
I think probably you should think of genericity as a style and like say, OOP this style can be supported by language features but you can insist on writing BBC Basic in an OO style, the language just gets in your way all the time.

So you could insist on doing generic programming in Go 1.17 say, but it feels very awkward and is slower and anybody reviewing your code is probably going to say "This is the wrong way to use Go" whereas with 1.18 there are more places where this is a reasonable solution.

If you hate OOP, you can write a Java program that's just one main function, it will really suck but it isn't impossible. If you hate Functional Programming you could write SML that's all imperatives and again that's going to be possible but the language is fighting you.

Parametric Polymorphism isn't a style it's a feature, like Ad Hoc Polymorphism (e.g. C++ function overloading) or Subtype Polymorphism (C++ inheritance) which you could choose to use in your programs or not, but doesn't go away just because you aren't using it.
Status quo conservatism is definitively right wing.
The whole floor is covered by a plastic sheet. It looks like it's safe to hose out, and unless it's damaged, it will hold pools of water. I never intentionally hosed out the whole interior of mine, but I did spray a lot of water around the front seats when I first got the car from someone who never cleaned it. The water pooled up to the point that I had to scoop it out and towel the rest. I suspect it was a bad idea, but if you saw it you'd think it's the best way to clean it.
I put 250k miles on an '08 before, very reluctantly, selling it to a kid for his first vehicle.

The '08 had been "updated".

But they never offered it with factory installed nav, despite having a very "ahead of its times" sound system. It also had terrible gas mileage.

Sure, it was less aerodynamic than a Mac truck, but Honda could have revisited it.

Much like my dearly departed Vanagon, there's nothing new like it on the market.
> A now-discontinued and otherwise entirely unremarkable family vehicle

The Honda Element was a very special car. I never understood it until I spent time with a friend who has owned one for years. They have a cult following for good reason. You can fit full size furniture in the cargo bay, while still parking in a compact spot. With people piled in the back, you can easily carry 6 passengers at double the MPG of a full size SUV or van. The handling is tight and smooth; nothing like an SUV or truck. The clearance is equivalent to a Wrangler. And Honda reliability means these things are still on the road in perfect condition at 300k+ miles. I could go on and on, but suffice to say the Element was not "just" an unremarkable family vehicle. It absolutely nailed a utilitarian niche that no other vehicle has come close to before or since.
The Case Against Monorepos
because you wouldn't hose it out with everything in it, only after you removed the seats and such. personally I never would, as it doesn't take that much extra elbow grease to just use a pail and wash cloth/dry cloth.
