How is that supposed to work though?

Is that a modifier on existing messages (requires altering the entire language, and I don't see how it's going to work with keyword messages), or is that a binary message returning a "message-eating" proxy object?

Subsidiary question for (2), how do you handle Pharo apparently already having a `?` operator?

That aside, I think an interesting path would be to leverage conditions, assuming `#doesNotUnderstand:` can get a restart for that. Though obviously it has stack depth implication, and I've not played with conditions enough to remember whether you can get that information from a handler.
i had wireless headphones and true-wireless ones later on and i still went back. i mostly use my wired headset now and have a fiio bluetooth receiver for the times i would prefer to be more mobile.

i switch between two computers, a phone and a tablet quite a bit during the day, so having to fiddle with bluetooth settings every time i switch is more of a deal-breaker for me than some microphonic noises from the cable
You got me curious, so I read your other comments :) And yes, I totally can relate to " I frequently get completely engrossed for periods of a few weeks on a topic - beyond healthy levels of interest. But one day, it's just gone - vapid."

This is coupled with a bit of a shopaholic tendency where I'll buy anything that would be useful for my new topic of interest (I didn't use to do this, but now I have disposable income so there's no more barriers to doing it) and sometimes by the time everything I bought arrives, I'm just no longer interested.

It's been useful for work because occasionally I will have unhealthy amount of interests in something that will be useful for my work. It's just that it's not controllable.

I relate to what you say about stimulants, however one problem I have is that if I'm not very well rested, concerta makes me sleepy. Unfortunately, I have a newborn so sleep is compromised and that means that right now stimulants cannot help.

There's two problems I see with steelmanning:

1. People are often not, in fact, arguing in good faith. It's easier to see this if we look at things in hindsight, though sometimes it's super obvious even in the present. One could look at Russian state media on Ukraine as an example where trying to take their arguments at face value would have you contorting yourself into knots. This takes you further from reality, further from the truth.

2. There are often good points to be made on exactly where your opponent is weak. That they're weak on some point isn't a reason to shy away -- if the end goal is more knowledge and understanding for all, then ignoring certain aspects of an issue just because you're trying to be "nice" is a net negative.

To use #2 against myself: I'm generally pro multi-modal transportation, but it's true that car dominance has some advantages for larger families, and that the 'transition period' where you're taking away car resources but transit/walking/biking still aren't all that great is awkward. Someone arguing against my points should not just ignore these areas because they're areas of weakness for me. They're things people deserve to know about, issues that would have to be handled.

The Fossil Hybrid[1] series with the E-ink screens is by far my favorite "smartwatch" right now, and has a ~10 days battery (claimed 2 weeks). Does basic sports, heart and sleep tracking, shows notifications, customisable watchfaces and a bunch of other stuff I don't really care about.

[1] https://www.fossil.com/en-ch/smartwatches/hybrid-smartwatche...

Edit: it shows the time using physical arrows, so you have it accessible 24/24 (they glow at night).
So I actually had one of these. I kept it for about a year.

The theory was good, but the screen was hard to read, required a stylus (a tiny one was hidden in the strap), and there's only so much you can do without a data connection. I used to HotSync news stories to it every morning but realistically a better source of up to date news was still a radio.
We recently had to do a Signal bot and for an elegant codebase it sure is lacking in terms of libraries. Not to mention the license being as aggressive as possible to prevent any clients of any kind.
I love to build both native and hybrid apps and while you have a pretty good write up you’ve made some pretty bold claims for a handful of app installs. I did try out your apps and to be quite honest they do feel very webby (non-native). For the use case however I suppose it works.
It's interesting to see how segmented Antwerpen was back in 1777, what the author describes as hedges.

These were usually the result of inheritance, when the land of one owner got split into pieces and each child then got one piece. They got smaller and smaller.

I didn't think that this was already so extreme in 1777, but comparing it to the other maps, only Antwerpen and Brugge seem to be affected.

> Is it the carbon that's the problem or the groups that have prevented a carbon fee being enacted for decades that is the problem?

The carbon. It's definitely the carbon. If we collectively stop having economic incentives to burn fossil fuels, the political side will sort itself out.

We could improve the economics either by having cheaper alternative energy supply like solar power, or more expensive demand like plastics, or imposing an externality like a policeman who comes and slaps you every time you burn 1 BTU of hydrocarbons.
Data-What?
I have been selfhosting my email stack on a cheap VPS (~ $10) for many years now, probably since 2009 or so. I used to set up everything manually, but that was quite painful and there were some rough edges.

Nowadays, I just use mailcow (https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized) for the setup part and have a much more polished experience. Email deliverability is not a problem. Generally, you just have to make sure to correctly setup DKIM/SPF (and DMARC) and check if your IP is on some blacklist. You can get it removed easily. (Edit: Also required is forward-confirmed reverse DNS, see below).

There was one provider that denied incoming mails from me, even though I got the IP removed from every blacklist I could find. I wrote a short mail to the admin contact and got told I had to host a web page with contact information on the same IP. Since being whitelisted there, everything works like a charm, couldn't be happier.
Before we push for no-anonymity internet and full ID social networks, we need to ban tracking and data collection without explicit, physically written, contractual consent (paid, my data is not free), and the data should not be hosted on some foreign land, and whenever the company needs to peek into it, they need to ask me first, with the reasons

Until then no thank you
AI algorithm detects asymptomatic heart disease from Apple Watch ECG data
When people talk about something being simple (or complex), they're talking about how many "things" there are in the concept, rather than how easy or intuitive it is to understand (since that's subjective, as pointed out).

Prototypal inheritence is seen as simpler because conceptually it involves less "things". Both JS and Java have runtimes with values containing basic data (strings, ints, bools etc) as well as objects. Where they differ is that JS has first class functions (meaning functions are also values just like basic data and objects), which is what enables prototypal inheritance. And Java has a compile time where it generates static objects (classes) that aren't values and can't be changed, that's what enables classical inheritance.

It's generally considered that conceptually the functional approach is simpler, because in those languages functions adhere to the same rules as objects and other data, you can add new ones, remove them, move them around, copy them into a different variable etc. So all the "things" that apply to working with functions are just the same "things" that work on everything else, there's nothing really extra there, you don't need all these special rules and concepts like "reflection" where you're "reaching into the internals" of the running program or whatever it is in Java, because you don't have any "internals" to reach into. Nothing is happening at some compile time before the code actually runs, and nothing is static or out of bounds.

None of that really has much to do with prototypal inheritance itself. But it's relevant in that you can't just pick which kind of inheritance to use, you need the language constructs that enable them, so they're part of the complexity. The two forms of inheritance are basically the same thing, you just have an object with your functions on it that has a special label saying "if you don't find what you're looking for, look at this object instead". The difference is that in Javascript that label is just a standard property on an object, that can hold another object. Whereas in Java, that label is an "extends" or "inherits" clause on class that's wired up at compile time, and at runtime it's treated as static and outside of the programmer's control.
I don't know how SCOTUS works. Considering the age of the judges, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a bunch of secretaries and admin assistants with access. Hell, cleaning staff could have seen and photocopied it.

It's also conceivable (although I find it less likely) a conservative leaked it because they were afraid of a defection. Now any defection would look like caving to public opinion.

You certainly lay out a possible case, but I don't think they available information warrants such confidence (especially naming a specific person)

Is this the first time the Supreme Court has leaked news ahead of their judgments, or is it a kind of normal thing?

In the UK it's basically a normal thing for the government to leak the news to the public ahead of official announcements, to prime the people and news. However, it seems like I don't hear the US courts doing the same.

This was indeed a very deliberate choice by Google, and they have been blogging about it since at least 2011[0]. There are quite some blog posts by Google and others discussing the evolution in online maps from the high contrast design focused on roads and cities, to more “fluid” designs where there is a bit more room to show buildings, forests, waterways and other landmarks that are more suited for exploration rather than navigation.

It says that the case could not be re-opened because for that you need new evidence, but the evidence was just overlooked during the initial trial. Even if all the existing evidence is enough to prove your innocence you somehow need "new" evidence to reopen your case. This is not the first time this happened either. It is very hard to get justice even when you are obviously innocent.
As a new basis for ideology, it would be interesting if the law put it clear that reproduction is about personal autonomy with no legal requirements put forth onto any individual, except that all aspects should be based on consent and free will. When ever the outcome of that consent and free will causes social or medical issues, the state ought to provide aid and support so that consenting parents and children get what they need and require.

Can someone explain this? Is each iteration of the loop body considered a separate block scope?

Edit: Each time the loop is run, a new anonymous function is created. But in the "let" version, each of those functions is bound to a different version of "i", which means "i" is actually being re-declared as a new and separate variable every time the loop body runs?

The hydrogen path is less energy efficient than the battery path, so it’s only useful if you have really cheap electricity.

If the batteries themselves were to remain expensive even as the electricity to charge them/electrolyse water became cheap, I can imagine a scenario where the lifetime cost difference between batteries and hydrogen tanks might be more than the cost of the energy wasted as heat by making the hydrogen. I don’t think this will happen now.

The same dynamic on a slightly smaller scale means I can also believe that hydrogen cars could be a Vimes’ Boot: low purchase cost, high running cost, so poor people have them because they can’t afford the cheaper option.
If Churchill had gerrymandered constituencies in the UK the way in the egregious manner the US manages, he never would have lost power.
It's not because (I assume) even the shitty optional gives you a signal that the value is nullable and that you have to check.

The important part is moving `null` out of every type in the language, and into its own little box that the compiler can tell you about. It's nice if you can make it a "library" utility without holes, but it's also fine if it's not perfect, or even if you have to make it a builtin magic thing, like C# &co.

Evaluating technologies by analogy, how far off base am I?

jQuery, Angular, React

So you sell everything as a feature?

Is it a feature, that MS Teams (as a default setting) does not use native notifications on OS X? As a user, I have to disable two notifications now, because one does ignore the system setting. I don't know how to sell that "feature"... Imagine having many apps with each having it's own notification setting, layout and appereance.. That's hardly an improvement to the status quo.

> I just don't understand the attraction of self hosting email.

For several years I’ve hosted in the “middle ground” sense described by the OP, running my own incoming mail server and relaying outgoing mail through a big provider.

The main benefit for me (compared to using a big provider with my own domain) is personal privacy. When I used Google for mail, Google had access to so many pieces that make up my personal life: Purchase receipts. Flight itineraries. Conference registrations. Emails from my university. Emails from my realtor. Utility bills. Notifications for subscribed forum threads, GitHub repositories, Wikipedia pages. Whatever newsletters I chose to subscribe to. Theoretical access to any site with password reset by email. Running my own MX eliminates Google’s access to most of these things.

There are other some other benefits too. Free infinite aliases I can use to sign up on any website. No fear of dependence on features that might get paywalled. No sudden danger of having to migrate data to another provider.

It depends on the angle that people approach solving the problem. In my current field in cancer biology / drug response, people don't often know the features well enough comparing to normal everyday features such as natural images or natural text. In that setting the understanding of the feature space / biological systems is more important than understanding of the models themselves. The models are (if I may say, merely) a tool to search and narrow down the factors. After that scientists can design experiments to further interrogate the complex system itself. As the ML model grows bigger, the interrogative space also grow. Depending on the goal, it may not be necessary to have a fully interpretable model as long as the features themselves help advancing the understanding of the complex biology system.
