Antitrust rules apply to monopolies, and Google has no where near monopoly over app stores or phones, the relevant systems here.
I thought this article was a cut above a lot of the Go criticism I've read. Language critiques are good! Where we tend to get in trouble is language ordering.
Looks good, I had a similar setup with Gulp up until last year.

But isn't this a bit outdated now? I think it still uses Tailwind CSS 2.
The introduction read like some cartoon villain explaining some sinister plot to paint all the fire hydrants blue, or something.

The article reads like:

1. "People hate me because I point out that Rust is better than your language,"

2. "Let's look at a problem I encountered in Rust,"

3. A review of how basic stuff works in Rust like enums, if/else, tangents about inlay hints & IDE support...

Somewhere, if I scroll long enough, I'll get to a section of the article that's not written by Snidely Whiplash, that's not remedial "Rust 101", and not some miscellaneous tangent about Rust or IDE support.

Probably. I'm just guessing, because people are talking about some substantive point that the article made and I just can't make it that far. You can't even scan the article for headings effectively, because they don't stand out.
I think this might be more compelling if Epic were the ones hosting the download, and Google were just like, listing the download in their listings, where the download button would go to Epic's servers.
The crucial misunderstanding is that economics and social studies are considered "science" or "scientific".

And pretending that they are a big part of the problem.
Unfortunately, I think moving up the hierarchy is one of the biggest security blankets as you get older. No one seems to question when a VP, CFO, or CEO is 50+. Age seems to be an asset in this case.
I really unsure about EGS monetization model, but Psyonix (developer of Rocket League) are subsidiary of Epic.

UPD: At least while ago in 2019 Epic claimed to give a choice of payment processor to use for games on their store:

Indeed. As I recall, supeeglue was actually developed for this purpose, but they decided it released to much heat (presumably when used in large quantities) and so divised these other chemicals.

Putnam ascribes ~25% of the drop in social capital over the past 70ish years to television's rise, but not because of fragmentation of visions of reality as you suggest. Rather, it is due to TV soaking up time that might be used to build community and social cohesion. See below for an example quote and corresponding link that goes into more detail.

"Even though there are only 24 hours in everyone's day, most forms of social and media participation are positively correlated. People who listen to lots of classical music are more likely, not less likely, than others to attend Cubs games. Television is the principal exception to this generalization--the only leisure activity that seems to inhibit participation outside the home. TV watching comes at the expense of nearly every social activity outside the home, especially social gatherings and informal conversations. TV viewers are homebodies."

There are a few cases that are trivial, but there are a lot more that can be very difficult. I'm sure the devs err on the side of avoiding false positives, because that could really enrage a user.

There are numerous problems with approach you mention, ie strong push for emotions to sway opinion. If one resorts to attacking primitive emotions, hard facts clearly are not most important in the discussion anymore. In proper science, that should never be the case.
Interestingly, even though Go is most popular for writing web services and promotes channels, we almost never use channels in our microservices written in Go because they are not persistable. If you care about not losing your data on power loss or a panic, your work queues have to be persistable and retriable. Channels IIRC are just in-memory queues with mutexes under the hood and provide nothing of that. We only use them for a few tricks/hacks like listening to signals to safely stop goroutines.

One of things revealed because of the whole Fortnite issue was that Google squashed Epic's attempt to bundle their Android app with various OEMs.

Google controls the platform and they're the ones who set up scary warnings for installing apps via sideloading (despite malicious apps being not uncommon in the Play Store itself.)

> How the hell did broadcast networks like NBC afford a payout like that?

Obviously from receiving more than a billion dollars...
Let me introduce you to the concept of social capital and how it relates to white privilege.

See, the parents of white (and Asian) kids have, or can buy, access to social networks that underrepresented groups (particularly black and indigenous) are systematically excluded from. That gets the white and Asian kids into better music schools and affords them more opportunities to get good enough to audition to major orchestras, as well as exposure within the classical-music world so people know who they are. This has the effect of reinforcing a certain racial profile for classical musicians.

The solution to this problem has been known since the initial civil rights movement in the USA at least: affirmative action. Unfortunately that means denying really talented white and Asian musicians orchestra seats, so that talented people of other communities have a shot at the levels of achievement and recognition whites have taken for granted. But ultimately, it's for the greater good.
Of course you can do the not-naive thing to make your editor happy. There's lots of reasons to do the not-naive thing, including but not limited to binary bloat and startup time. Doesn't really answer the question though, does it.

This is a fair point. To be clear, I wasn't suggesting Canonicalize as _the_ name, but as one potential candidate. As you've shown, it has some shortcomings. Perhaps Normalize is a better alternative (and also another candidate that I suggest), since "Normalization" is a commonly used term for converting to a standard/normal form.

At work, we have a .Net 6 codebase that had some odd design decisions made in the past couple years. Roughly ~115 classes using Unity for dependency injection instead of ASP.NET Core DI, and this horrible Unity-based service locator pattern used all over the place. Since nothing was using constructor injection and instead just grabbed deps from calls to a global static locator willy-nilly, it was very difficult to tell how many dependencies a given class had. The worst classes were injecting 30-40 dependencies, but you couldn't tell this in looking at them.

Anyway - I was tasked with removing Unity and refactoring the service locator usage, since Unity was going to be unsupported soon. Doing this gave me a real sense of agency in our otherwise boring enterprise app; it was one of the rare chances where I could make a significant, wide-scale improvement that would make future development easier for everyone.
I'd guess orbital mirrors reflecting light onto the earth that would otherwise have missed it.
This is a generic problem that applies to a number of scenarios, including traffic congestion.

If there are fewer resources than there are users, a queue forms. People in the queue can be prioritised by sorting the queue by some agreed property and then admitting the people from the head of the queue as resources become available.

Sorting by the willingness and ability to pay in money is a very common property. Housing is notably discriminated by the money people can put on the table. Wealthy get the best spots, poorer people have to live further away in less desirable spots. Could this apply to traffic congestion as well? People with money drive when they want, poorer people drive when they can afford it. Money does a good job in discriminating between people in a huge number of services, possessions, and abilities.

If that sounds unfair somehow, I theoretically like the idea of a time tax. Everyone has the same amount of time each day regardless of if they make a million each day or over their whole lifetime. It's all very equal and it's up to each individual how they choose to spend those hours, whether it's waiting in traffic or doing something that is more profitable than car trips.

The way to implement this is curb down road capacity which also has the benefit of allocating less space for roads and more space for people. Useless trips get cancelled and transferable trips are moved to less congested times, and only if your trip is really important it's worth the wait in congestion. In many ways this is a more equal way of distributing access to limited resources. On the other hand, it's not very useful for anyone to sit in traffic whether you're poor or rich. Especially people whose time cost is close to zero could sit all their day in traffic if they wanted to while people whose time is very profitable couldn't do anything extra, couldn't pay anything extra or make any amends anywhere to get through their trip faster. This may be more equal among individuals but not necessarily the best use of time collectively, to the society as whole.

In communist countries short supply and high demand were resolved by queueing, to not much benefit to anyone. In capitalist countries the rich can pay their way through anything while the poor can't often pay anything, much less their way. What other methods are there for sorting the queue to a limited resource that are used in other domains of other societies?

On the other hand building large high-capacity road networks that are free to use is akin to socialism: there's supply without a distinct price which drives endless demand. Roads should be considered a scarce resource because they take space away from housing and business which are useful activies in a society unlike traffic which is just a means to access what is useful. Thus, the cost of using roads should at least mimick market pricing so that money will drive people to make educated, smart tradeoffs regarding the use of those resources and their time. And building more roads and wider roads in the first place should be considered in the light of alternative costs, not as a non-negotiable necessity.

I am not dismissing anyone's work. By this logic, the pipewire folks are dismissing ALSA and pulseaudio's work, which is equally absurd.
I'm ecstatic that someone is building this.

Figuring out sourcecode-to-apidocs for one language is annoying, and figuring it out in the context of multi-language monorepos is exhausting. Then on top of that, I want to fail the build if someone adds public APIs to a library and doesn't document them! Now I have to go back to all my doc generators and get some kind of metadata out of them??????? And what if I want to make my docs pretty, and link to each other across languages??????

So, this is great. A small dream, coming true. Best of luck to y'all!
Also, some apps from F-Droid are crippled compared to what they can do when downloading from Play Store, eg. the K9 mail app from F-Droid doesn't have support for push email, it can only check at intervals.

I don't know what the reason for this is, but the result is that Android is not a truly "open" platform.
..huh, yep, you're right. That's.. super embarrassing and huge screw up on my part, uhg. I was 100% positive I submitted the order through Namecheap before pushing the repo up to GitHub for this exact reason, and that it went through.. but yeah, looks like I didn't and we don't own it. :(

Good news is we've got doctree.org, so will be using that instead. I've removed all references to the other domain.

I am refitting a 44-foot sailboat, repowering it with an electric motor and lithium batteries; solar panels and a wind generator to come. Lots of practical work with my hands: wiring, plumbing, carpentry, fiberglass, sewing, drilling, sanding, wrenching, tinkering. After decades of complicated software efforts, a majority of which have never gone anywhere, it feels really satisfying to build things that you can see and touch, that stay built once you're done with them, useful in a way you can experience. Someday in the near future we'll set sail and go see more of the world - generating our own power, our own propulsion, our own fresh water; living by the sun and the wind and the waves, embedded in the natural world.
The diet-heart hypothesis promoted by Ancel Keys was based on bad science, cherry-picked data, and gross generalisations. The saturated fat used in his experiments was vegetable oil (margarine) and he extrapolated the results to animal fat.

The current theory is that heart disease is caused by vegetable oil and sugar.

The Paleo and keto enthusiasts demonize Keys as the root cause of the western world's obesity problem.

Exactly, yes, 100% this.

More specifically it explains previously understood effects that are encapsulated in current theory in a new way very likely to a higher degree of accuracy, it accurately predicts behaviour of the universe, and explains previous mysteries.

My experience with Go is that it is pretty low level compared to languages like Ruby, but higher level than something like C++.

I'd be curious to hear what people build with it at work, is it mostly microservices or are there also monoliths around? Is it more APIs or background workers?

What do you think it's an interesting project I could build in my time that shows me where Go shines?

The etymology of "Ciao"

The word derives from the Venetian phrase "s-ciào vostro" or "s-ciào" (schiavo/sciavo) literally meaning "(I am) your slave"

This greeting is analogous to the medieval Latin servus which is still used colloquially in parts of Central/Eastern Europe or the antiquated English valediction "Your Obedient Servant." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciao

In Italy you say ciao both when you meet somebody, and when you leave, while in other countries (e.g. Brazil), you say "Ciao" only when you go away: if you use it when you meet somebody sounds sooooo weird :) :)
I'm a DS during the day but recently I started teaching python/ML to a couple of kids (around 8y). It's super nice to see them have fun!

When teaching ML, we mainly used pre-trained models. They learn the concept of data, train/test split, accuracy, and to build programs which use these models.
A few things I've noticed is:

- personal level fixes: don't dwell in your own darkness, try to seize the few blinking moments of energy and do something with it, anything. It kinda revives that side of your mind.

- social level fixes: the first point had low yields for me, lots of efforts, small returns, sometimes a good day and back to walking on a fine line. But when I got back to work life, even shitty places, there was like a big wave of relief sipping in my system. I theorize that as being connected with and in the same flow as others. Suddenly your brain is exposed to others stimuli that are very very powerful (sleep, diet, .. all realigned overnight without even thinking about it)
Which of the 2 versions is more readable is a matter of personal opinion.

Many people consider that the most readable programs are those in which nothing is written in a longer more complex form, if it can be written in a shorter simpler form.

The implicit conversion of a value of any type to a Boolean value is not something invented by C. This was first used in LISP I (1960), then in many other programming languages.

I think it's possible to get so excited about the tool you're using that you forget its purpose. I have to watch that myself --- and I believe the writer here is teetering on that edge. I try to hold myself to a) having a separate notebook for each purpose for which I'm using one, b) having it marked appropriately for its use, and c) having it be handsome. (I fear I've displayed my failure to restrain myself.)
Some browsers apply restrictions to some CAs. There's support for it with X.509 nameConstraints; I don't know if support for that has increased though. Even if a browser doesn't support it in general, it can do similar things with its built in CA store.

Meta and Apple can both be sued or fined heavily if they are misrepresenting their use of e2ee. Signal has maybe 100 million users, but WhatsApp and Apple account for over 2 billion. They've done more to improve security in the text messaging space than any other group. Maybe they are doing it because they don't want data leaks any more than you do, or they sense the trend towards respecting user's privacy and want to at least appear to care. In any case, we should encourage this adoption of end-to-end encryption and support it where it makes sense.
It's weird that there's no way to pick a username - some users have GUIDs, others - usernames.

First of all, thanks for sharing this OP! So glad to see a way to query a df using SQL without further transformation.

Arrow has been truly revolutionary in this regard, providing a solid in-memory data format (with performant APIs in many languages) for interchange between different engines and even formats.

You can go from ORC to Parset to CSV on a local FS or S3.

>>To be antisocial is simply to have a preference against social behaviour. Whether that manifests in hostile behaviour or not isn’t relevant to the definition of the word

Unlike the sibling commenter, the definitions I found still had hostility as a relevant factor. I believe we likely now understand what the other means by the word now, but for curiosities sake I'd appreciate your own definition or a link to a definition of the word you believe authoritative.

>>My point is that articles like this simply appeal to people who are looking for an excuse for their anti-social behaviour

I think we broadly agree.
Oh, I see! Thanks.

I had thought that perhaps it was the distance between thumb and small finger measured in inches vs feet or something. But… I guess it wouldn't make sense for the arms to have to be outstretched then.
Antitrust rules apply to monopolies

No, they don't. Most antitrust cases don't involve monopolies, since those are actually quite rare, and most monopolies don't involve anticompetitive behavior.

Antitrust is about regulating anticompetitive market activities, which ranges from price fixing to monopolies.
The fact that she chooses to bring forward here doubts via youtube, books, and blogs (i.e. the things she earns money with) instead of/in addition to a well written paper on arxiv (i.e. like everyone else who wants to partake in a honest physics discussion*) lets me question her intent. (She has papers to some of the things she complains about, which normally get answered by rebuttals. This is normal scientific discourse. A blog with locked comments is not.)
