Not sure if it is still the case, but Circle used Clojure/Om [1]... when I heard them say they did that so many years ago, I knew right away it would end up being something nobody wanted to work on.

Sure enough, just checked, Om was abandoned [2] and the person blogging about how great everything was is long gone [3]. This is the absolute definition of tech debt.

Hence "most integrations", not all.

Citing a settlement date range with language like "may be a class member if you connected a financial account to an app" doesn't really refute my point.

4-5 steps later, they might become customers - but they will not be at first.

Exactly. Early on you are not selling, you are doing research. But nothing says you can't come back and sell to those early contacts once the time is right.
It has happened countless times in history.

See the sickle cell trait for instance.

I feel you're unable to discuss productively on this matter because you seem to think that believing in the concept of phenotypes means support for eugenics... which no one here is advocating for.

Wow. I had no idea how intricate and CLEVER the mechanism of a mechanical watch is. Being no engineer, I cannot imagine how someone could think of all these clever designs. (Yes, of course the mechanism evolved over time. Even so.)

I have been wanting to buy an old mechanical watch. When I do, I will never again complain about how much a watch repair shop charges.

Also, the explanation, presentation, and animations are top-notch. Amazing work by the author!!
We build our own cameras and write our own drivers here in Amsterdam, and sometimes get requests from other companies here that rather pay more than trying to explain their projects to Chinese manufacturers. Some industrial cameras we buy from Basler and the guy who builds them lives right around the block in a village close to Amsterdam. So maybe it's coming back around.

As an engineer I have a really strong opinion about only finance being left in Europe and all the engineering being outsourced to cheaper countries.

I personally think in tech the ladder to the top is made so you have to switch to management at some point in order to promote any further. I see managers and people that actually want to volunteer to become a manager instead of an engineer as the root of this problem. At my company we organize the hierarchy more like a hospital or a law firm, with the best engineers having the highest positions, just like partners at a law firm.
I live in Paris. My take-home salary before taxes as a software engineer is slightly less than that, it's considered "high" salary as I pay 10% income tax on it.

I'm seriously looking to moving to the U.S. by the end of the year to found a company, and while $15/h is becoming a trend, I don't really think I'll accept to come back to France after 2 years even at double the rate I am being paid now. Not being picky, but software engineer salaries here are just ridiculous (even more so outside Paris) even compared to neighboring countries like the U.K. or Germany
Designing a Better Language Selector
The timing makes this more convincing.

If the leaker is someone who is outraged by the decision, why didn't they leak it in February when it was first circulated? Why wait until now?

Also, keep in mind that the final decision was going to be made public in June, several months before the midterm elections. That's next month -- the outrage was going to happen soon enough. Why jump the gun at such a late date, so close to when the decision was going to be public anyway?

Of course that’s 50/50 of the profits vs 10% of the cover price.

Bookstores pay 60% of the cover price to the distributor who typically pays around 50% to the publisher.

Then there’s the cost of actually producing the book. And presumably things like editing, etc. are considered costs and not part of the publisher’s split. In the end, that 50/50 split probably comes out pretty close to 10% for the author.
I mean, no one suggested bankrupt the company -- but as other's have pointed out it remains _profitable_ to be fraudulent. Like at least fine them >= 100% of the value they gained.
Which one can you hear?
Plaid and their lawyers should have hashed it out with Stripe then in RFP. I work for a big bank. If we send out RFP's for a project there's language in there that most providers never look at. It basically says "I can do whatever I want with information in the RFP except give it to your company's competitors."

So if I am working for a top 10 bank, and I see value in a solution, if I cannot get it cheaper than it would cost me to develop it and time is not that big of a factor, I build it myself. If there are no time constraints and vendor can deliver solution at roughly the same cost I can build it for, I built it myself.

My guess as not being part of the stripe/plaid conversations or RFP. Zach's lawyers did not redline or challenge language around processes or IP with Stripe in RFP Agreements and that was likely the biggest downfall.

Plaid does have great litigation attorney's, I mean their class action settlement was only $58 million. So likely, Plaid might get something if there is IP that was protected. It will come out in discovery if a lawsuit gets legs.

That's because this wasn't a class action suit, but litigated by the state AG.
In my experience, people make 10 goals during planning and then later decide on the 7 that they're going to hit. I wouldn't mind if the goals were ambitious but efforts were made to achieve 70% of them. However, in practice it seems like there's no vision during planning and instead they change course midway through the half. What's the point of planning if you can't stick to the plan.
I think the explanation is the fundamental reality: computers are used to transform data, to store data, and to present data; FP determines that two of three reasons are impure and must be minimized.

John Carmack says that FP is a hinderance when rendering graphics, working with buffers, etc. So in respect to presenting data, UI and graphics will likely always be in an imperative lang.

Rich Hickey's (creator of Clojure) company Datomics (i.e. proprietary) uses his design for an immutable database which has only been around since 2013. He says that disk storage was so costly in the past but is now so cheap that the existing server industry is built atop this legacy of old ideas. So FP regarding storing data is likely in infancy.
I do not think this is a terrible idea. Games such as league of legends feel dramatically different when I play with friends in real life.

One strange thing is that as my age grows my preference for multiplayer game changes from "competitive" to "coop".

In his item #1, he links to https://discourse.julialang.org/t/loaderror-when-using-inter... The issue is actually a Zygote bug, a Julia package for auto-differentiation, and is not directly related to Julia codebase (or Flux package) itself. Furthermore, the problematic code is working fine now, because DiffEqFlux has switched to Enzyme, which doesn't have that bug. He should first confirm whether the problem he is citing is actually a problem or not.

Item #2, again another Zygote bug.

Item #3, which package? That sounds like an hyperbole, an extrapolation from a small sample, and "I'll avoid naming names" is a lazy excuse that would hide this. It is similarly easy to point to poorly written (or poorly documented) JAX code or Python code as well, so that doesn't prove that "Julia is lacklustre and JAX shines". Also, as an academician, I strongly disagree that learning_rate=... is better than η=..., but that's a matter of convention & taste, with no bearing on the correctness or performance of the package/language. It's bikeshedding. I agree that errors are usually not "instructable" in Julia ML packages (which needs to be improved), so monkey typing is less likely to succeed.

Item #4 is such a nitpicker. Sure, Julia may not have a special syntax for that particular fringe array slicing like Numpy does and you'll instead need to make a function call, but matrix/tensor code in Numpy is usually filled with calls to zips and cats with explicit indices, whereas in Julia, no explicit indexing needs to be done usually. Also, one can nitpick similarly in the opposite direction: Julia has many language features lacking from JAX or Python, why not talk about those as well?

I'm not a huge fan of Julia either (mainly because of it's garbage collected nature), but this is such a low-effort criticism of it.
> Are you suggesting that Lit is updating .innerHtml when it doesn't need to?

Literally nowhere did I say that. I was responding to a specific thing.
But suppose you're debugging some scenario (e.g. particular kind of request that generates some logs according to its access/interaction pattern). You can drill into this: interactively determine what things to filter for, trigger the display snapshot/update on particular multi-line patterns and such. You can have it so that whenever you trigger the use case, the new instance of the log appears in the display and freezes, and contains just the relevant information.
Not to worry, the lights are always on inside the local bars and nightclubs, well in some of them anyway.

As long as we're using a divining rod to try to derive the source, what does it tell us that the document was leaked to Politico and not the NYT, WaPo, WSJ, Wikileaks or some other org?
Making sense in your head isn't enough to make a claim factual.
Is that true though? There's the idea of the 10x programmer, and from looking at academia, such thing as a 10x researcher as well.

In biology, the median 100th-ranked university professor is making incredibly incremental contributions (like applying a well known technique to the 300th gene). The average top university professor is making groundbreaking achievements.

I almost view it as the opposite -- if you gave the Watson and Crick lab (back in its heyday) $100, much more real impactful science would result compared to giving 100 me-too scientists $1.

The ROI on this donation to stanford will be very similar to investing in carbon capture technology. I'll let you estimate that ROI.
I’ve not thought too deeply about how this will work in practice, but seems like a good step towards solving the confusing situation with the useEffect dependency array needing to contain things that you don’t actually want to the effect to re-run for (which I think could perhaps have been designed better up front, I find it pretty confusing to deal with and I’ve been doing React for over 8 years…)
In Javaland, Jackson and GSON both have easy ways of deserializing polymorphically based on a type property.
Clerks work at the Supreme Court for short periods of time, and most of these clerks are brilliant people that would succeed in almost any job. If a clerk felt strongly enough about a polarizing, complex issue such as abortion and also knew they would be considered heroes by others of similar beliefs, taking an action such as this is not only implausible but could quite possibly vault the leaker into legendary status.
Not to mention that suing over something like that would just have called attention to it. There's no universe in which Apple or Amazon would actually benefit from filing that kind of lawsuit even if they won it. And there are relatively few universes in which whoever was making the decision would be dumb enough to think they'd benefit.
They made anywhere from £470 to (using a rough sharp-tail model) £1666 per article.

Whilst I agree that the amount of time required do this doesn't professionally cover that, it's a very nice hobby which makes somewhat real money (very much depending on how many sharp the tail of £54's are) and garners some serious traffic whilst building a very solid credability in the industry.

Plus I signed up, so now they make £2.50 more!
I get the same feelings whenever somebody comes up with a "better" flavor of SQL that is "more logical" or "more expressive".... I know SQL well, it does what I want, and I think its great. When people "solve problems" with it, they're complaining about things they never tried to understand.

This is a lot like that. I wish I was better at music.... I wish I had more skill etc... but the barrier is not my ability to read music....

a multi-note instrument like guitar/piano is much harder (in my personal experience) than a single note like trumpet/saxophone... and guitar tabulature exists for that reason... but its guitar specific and is probably a bridge for most in the beginning of their learning (not unlike a saxophone fingering chart).... but I don't see general use music notation being revolutionized anytime soon.... mostly because it does not need to be.

Moving this to a spectrum rather than binary discussion. I'd argue that Canada, and many members of the EU do put pressure on companies to be "polite" so to speak.
So the fed doesn't want to be to harsh and risk destabilizing the economy? Then by doing this, encourages companies to engage in shitty behavior. Which could then destabilize the economy when they implode.

[Yeah I'm being reductive, just annoyed to watch all this and feel helpless that nothing changes]
I guess it's a matter of personal preference. If I was rich to the point that I could focus entirely on having an impact instead of making money, I'd basically ask myself a variation of Hamming's questions (originally meant as advice for academic researchers: 1. What are the most important problems in your field? 2. Are you working on one of them? 3. Why not?).

What is your understanding of what an impeachment is?
I guess the point I’m trying to make is that location change and culture change are two different things.

>If you color-scan a printed document at low-enough resolution, will it corrupt the color-printer dot patterns or are they resilient to that?

I think that if you used Fourier analysis, you could identify the frequency generally associated with the dot size, and delete the signal in that band. This can also be used to achieve excellent reduction of the Moiré effect:

This has the advantage of also not reducing the image quality as badly as when you try to blur the patterns away spatially.

Why is pirating not the way if the system is making no effort to change it and any change the system would try to make would be solely to the benefit of companies like Elsevier?
A better way to align incentives would be to have the bids specify fixed profits and a value engineering process. You bid $10m + $1m profit. The project baloons to a $20m project, you still make $1m. The project meets it's goals with a $5m budget, you get $1m and a percentage of the shortfall. It can still be gamed, but to a much lesser degree.

I worked on a 9-figure construction project and there were two full-time engineers specifically tasked with looking for ways to reduce the cost of the project, because it was essentially free money for the contractor. These two people generated millions in profit for the company.

I grew up in the USA and have never lived anywhere else, and I can't understand why a majority of USA consumers prefer their chocolate to smell like dog poop.

They don't want to build basic auth. They probably could, but it gives them more headaches and customer service touch points compared to delegating that out. Like: what if the user forgets their password? Or what if they lose their 2FA device?
Whenever I can I take over the account (using the lost password process) then close or delete it. I figure that this is my email address so this is my account.

Banking is hard because they usually want at least last 4 of SSN and sometimes other identifying information. I've tried calling the fraud department and reporting a fake account creation but so far without success.

If I get an email that has a notice saying what to do if the email is misrouted (common with legal documents), I do a reply-all saying that it was sent to the wrong email address.
I have a feature in my car (2020 mazda) that attempts to read signs as you pass and determine the current speed limit, and I'd say that it's accurate 60-70% of the time but nowhere near 100%. Even if the technology was there, I'm not sure this would be a good idea, but until it is - it's definitely a bad idea.
And because the people sourced for the story disagreed with it, and all the tech & security experts disagreed (as well as bloggers), and the journalists in question never followed up this incredible bombshell with all of the additional bombshells it should've lead right to as further implants were discovered, and neither did anyone else ever follow it up, and IIRC, didn't some of the journalists quietly leave Bloomberg later? Really, quite a lot of things. While against all this, the absence of a lawsuit says very little, given how horrible the PR from suing is and how pointless it is suing the very rich Bloomberg corporation in an American jurisdiction for nebulous damages.

Butterick is being silly here.

I would push against using how quickly commentators commentate as an example of a leaker allied with a certain side. Tweeting takes seconds. A group chat can decide what to do in minutes. It likely takes less than an hour to have an emergency press release ready to go and instantly disseminate on the internet.

(Fwiw: I don’t care who leaked or how leaked. I think people should focus more importantly that the legal opinion in the draft uses reasoning applicable to any sense of personal privacy. It’s more than just reproductive rights here, because the reasoning is that any rights logically derived from a right to privacy are illegitimate.)

> it shifts decisions on social spending from the democratically made decisions of the people to a few wealthy individuals.

To the degree that it's possible to amass wealth in this country without having to coerce people (a la crony capitalism), the money from those few wealthy individuals are a time-delayed, indirect sum of the democratically-made decisions of the people to spend their hard-earned dollars on the products and services those wealth individuals have offered.

Philosophically, it's not all that different from the people's will being indirectly expressed via their elected representatives in government.

The counter-argument is this: you're outlawing willing market participants who wish to sell their labor for less than $25 per hour.

What if someone doesn't have a skill set or live in a prosperous enough market that supports that wage? Quite a bit of business will simply disappear if the labor is too expensive. That hole-in-the-wall diner in the Ozarks will simply close if they have to pay $25 an hour, and the waitress working there will simply be unemployed without another alternative.
Requiring you to disclose info to google, microsoft, okta or onelogin can very clearly be an "attitude towards privacy", right?

If your business cannot pay a living wage, it should not exist (what a living wage in the Ozarks is is another discussion [1]). Fill the gaps with unemployment and other social safety nets.

I am not unsympathetic to business owners (having been one myself many years ago), but I am also not sympathetic for having the worker class suffer for the benefit of business and consumers, and living in poverty is abject suffering. Trillions of dollars of capital class/shareholder profits shows there is productivity to distribute more evenly.
