There have been plenty of small companies, but the ones that have been most egregious are Adobe and Avid.

Adobe are just a bunch of idiots who have no clue what they're doing. There's a whole story, but let's just summarize by saying they have people working for them who both want to argue about how it's "not possible", yet have zero insight in to how their data is stored.

I couldn't get anyone at Avid to listen even though our company has bought millions of dollars of equipment and software from them, so I walked up to the president of the company at an event and told him. They reacted very quickly and affirmatively after that.

Right now I'm dealing with the government of the local town. I filled out a form on their web site asking something, and in the months since I've gotten emails that have the EXACT DATA that I put on the form with phishing URLs in them. I'm still waiting for the Town to explain what happened and whether the compromise was in Mailchimp, Linode or Sendgrid.
I would argue that doing this kind of stuff is bad design.

```foo = {
'hello': 'world',
'bar': ['baz'],
}
```

Don't put it on the language not to be able to deal with this kind of stuff.

In VSCode when my cursor is inside an s-exp, i can press Alt+Shift+E and it instantaneously shows the result of that call inline in the editor.

If i change the code at all, i just press the same key combo and see the new result. It remembers all the state of what i've done up to that point too so i don't need to mess around setting up the call with data to feed in for example.

The closest i can find to replicating this is the various hot-reload implementations in other languages but they all incur some kind of delay (naturally, because they're all doing a lot more work behind the scenes) which ruins the use of this feature, it stops you using it to evaluate your thought process in realtime. They also don't render the results inline - mostly because the syntax of JS/TS and other languages doesn't really lend itself to this kind of usage.

The UI is like that because of the above commenter's point - the business model itself. It's not that Twitter isn't technically capable of tweaking the UI or giving you more settings to customize your experience, it's that giving you those settings would mean you use them against their own business model.

> Seeking engagement is not necessarly evil. GitHub increased engagement [...]

At this point it really depends on what you mean by "engagement". GitHub's definition of "engagement" is definitely not the same as Twitter's.

Technically, Twitter's goal is not "engagement" but "time spent looking at ads". It just so happens that "engagement" is a very good proxy for that. In Twitter's case, increasing "engagement" is definitely evil.

I also don't believe GitHub's goal is to increase engagement. Their goal is ultimately to deliver features useful to their paying customers - companies that build software, where as Twitter's (and any other ad-supported service's) goal is to serve more ad impressions (or at least make advertisers believe they do).
Interestingly, ever since I've started doing that a few years ago, I don't get a single spam on the catch all domain.

The only spams I'm getting are the ones that come to the address I used on many places (mainly used for accounts that are used for paid services) in the past and still getting spammed every day.

Have services stopped selling addresses these days?
Network does have a natural order. You can make a routing decision faster when you get the most significant units first. If you get the least first, you have to wait for the entire address before you can route to it.
Thank you very much for your feedback!! Really means a whole lot.

> To be honest, I never really understood why more architectures don't have upwards-growing stacks.

A downward-growing stack is more intuitive. To access items on a downward-growing stack, you use positive offsets; for instance, sp+0x10 could be the second stack-passed argument to a function. For an upward-growing stack, you have to use negative offsets.

> Hard disagree, big-endian is right and little-endian is wrong.

Little-endian is more natural. With little-endian numbers, the byte b at offset n has value b*256**n; with big-endian numbers, the byte b at offset n has value b*256**(l-n-1).

> And remember that network byte order is big-endian.

That's mostly by historical accident; the architectures originally used to implement the network protocols we use nowadays were big-endian. It makes sense in some situations to have on-wire numbers be big-endian, especially network addresses, since it allows the hardware to decide before the whole number arrives; that is less relevant nowadays because not only networks are much faster, but also it's more common to read the whole header to a buffer before making these decisions.

It won't help you understand a topic, unless you're already well-versed in it.

Long-forms like the Economist's take a few steps back from the day-to-day news and try to give you an overview of a topic. That's what I'm interested in. You have to make the difference between the author's opinion and the facts because most of the Economist's pieces are actually op-eds, but that's better than reading re-hashed PR releases all day long.

FL Department of Education: Examples of Problematic Elements in Math Textbooks
Have you (or anyone else on this thread) used retype or MonkeyType? We have a codebase right now that's mostly lacking type hints. But, now that we have added automatic flaking into our build (and pre-commit hooks), I'd like to get some more mileage out of that toolchain we just invested into, but it would be a hassle to go back and add type hinting to everything.

What I'd like to do is integrate something into our pre-commit hooks.

Two notes after a foreword: I do not know UK tlc development history and status, so I'm talk in general:

- things change, on small scale change is cheaper&faster in mean respect of large scale, witch means that a small country with few people inside surely spent far less in developing and regularly upgrading it's own infra respect of a large one;

- private investments on scale NEVER work for the public.

With the above statements, seen in the countries I know, TLCs can't be a private business. Nothing against private networks BUT the State must own a nationwide network, so create and maintain it, for the sake of the nation, not following direct profits. In that case copper or fiber does not count: at a certain point in time a planned civil design started to take into account the need of a signaling network for any household and more, so a national plan to create a physical infra for accommodating such network start. After a decade there is enough to see widespread results. A new network start to operate. Then new tech emerge witch can be accommodated with some modifications on the old physical infra (duct etc) and so the State start making changes and upgrade.

The overall results are less top performance in certain area compared to pure-market private TLCs development, but overall far superior performance. I does not count much if initial plans was better or not, because they are constantly watched and evolved so there is no such thing "due to the past decision on a certain kind of tech the new one can't arrive much early", it's just "due to a past decision new tech will cost the State much more and we will have a bit of delay".
+1 for Vietnam. And Jazz. And The West. There is something about starting a Ken Burns series that is super relaxing, and releases the pressure to find the "perfect thing" to watch for the next 10-20 hours.

> I'm bummed that The Old New Thing is now on Microsoft's domain.

Um, it's always been on MS's domain. It has moved from e.g. msdn.com (I think) to microsoft.com, but that's more about MS periodically moving around where its documentation is hosted because shrug, but it was always in same way officially hosted by MS.
That's fair! I've used Google for people who I am close to and those listicles have routinely fallen short for me.

Then, the intention is to see what's left over to try to find something unique.

isn't using social media anonymously a valid use case? (i.e. would you tell me your full name?)

as for open sourcing the algorithms, I consider myself extremely pro-open source (though ofc you're free to draw your own conclusions), but isn't it clear that that might simply allow spammers to game them as efficiently as possible (and to that end, isn't spam also free speech)? one idea that seems reasonable that I've heard proposed is an open marketplace of algorithms that one can choose from (open source and otherwise)

I only use Netflix and Prime, and both feel really stale to me. It's all "content" - good to very good production values designed to fill a gap and appeal to a demographic. But very repetitive and production line, with no passion projects, nothing too arty or quirky, nothing outside of the box, no surprises.

Some of it is quite watchable, but none of it is exciting or fresh. It's all some combination of stock soapy characters and themes in stock genre settings, usually with some comedy/sex/violence/horror added for stickiness.

Netflix could easily throw some money at graduate film makers and say 'Make something no one has seen before.' That might or might not help retention, but it's hard to shake the feeling Netflix are deliberately aiming for the middle of the bell curve as creative policy, and missing opportunities to lead instead of trying to play it safe.
Sometimes this is related to team workflow. On my last job I landed at a team with easy and interesting work, but it had lots of meetings, 2-4 daily from 1/2hr up to 2hrs, with some high pitch voices that drilled my ears, and ofcourse the soul-sucking boredom and repetitive polite fights. The team was dissolved and I moved to other teams with sane workflows, then I realized I had some bad luck at the beginning, but if that happened again I'd try to get transfered.
I see a lot of people using loop in the wild, but personally I took to heart Paul Graham's advice from ANSI Common Lisp to generally avoid it because of the exact reason you've suggested, it's complicated and honestly not very "Lispy".

Right. Just to be clear, "an effect like this" is (comparatively) unreliable tests, not some elusive statistical phenomena as implied by the original article. I'd have no issue if the author had called the article "the DK effect is due to poor skill tests", spent 5 minutes showing that the DK results are consistent not only with their claims but also with unreliable tests (like you did), then went on to show data that indicates that the tests indeed are not reliable enough to draw the conclusions that DK did. Instead the author spends a lot of time digging under the wrong tree and no time at all saying anything about the reliability of the tests.

The author seems to have unreasonable expectations of the python typing implementation, most of which can be fixed with mypyc and stricter flags. They also did not check the concept of gradual typing which is key to why everything is not strict by default.

I too am disappointed a bit by the type hints because they are not expressive enough for me, and some natural python constructs are hard to express. And because mypy has bugs I encounter from time to time.

I did read it. However that wasn’t a study, it was a comment by a magazine (National Geographic) on the current groups today (not historical).

I didn’t even see the data to back it up, nor is it evenly distributed. Aka many groups will have higher or lower distributions.

Further, it didn’t say 70% were roots/fruit/vegetables it said 30% was meat. The article didn’t clarify if that was be weight, volume, count, etc. it’s possible 30% by volume is meat, but by that measure I could eat a watermelon and a steak and only 5% of my diet is meat.

It also mentions an African tribe that survives mostly on milk and honey. That tribe isn’t hunters and gatherers (they manage herds), but let’s assume they count that (no data listed), then that still isn’t meat nor vegetables/roots/fruits.

On the small scale, Python is very productive. Once you get to large codebases with a rotating roster of many developers, it becomes a net negative, which is why type specification languages are gaining major inroads. I love Python, but I wouldn't write anything for production at any scale in it anymore. But for small scale stuff, it remains my favorite! (Although, I like static binaries languages, like Go, for a lot of things these days because of the deployment simplicity)

Re the zero cost claim, he specifically clarifies that zero cost exceptions have a cost even if you do not use them, which is paid by inhibiting some optimizations.

I find that bizarre. It's just a mailman instance. Did the bot send you a confirmation email? Did you try emailing me instead? A few times over the 15-ish years that I ran the list, Mailman has failed to honor unsub requests, and in each case, it turned out to be because the user signed up with a different send-to than their return-to - for example, if you signed up as doctorow-list+youremail@gmail.com, and then send an unsub from youremail@gmail.com, Mailman (correctly) rejects the unsub request, because it doesn't have a subscriber called youremail@gmail.com. In those (rare) cases, I take care of it manually.

If you're still subscribed and not able to unsub, please just email me, doctorow@craphound.com, and I'll unsubscribe you by hand.
