Curated tags, including canonizing one variation of a tag and making all the others with the same meaning synonyms: https://archiveofourown.org/wrangling_guidelines/16

Of course, where a single word has two or more meanings, synonyms don't make sense, so go with Wikipedia-style disambiguation.

Also be aware if your community has specialized jargon, uses multiple human languages, patois, creole, dialects, or pidgin.

Allow multi-word tags, but settle on a single casing/separation and enforce it: camelCase, snake_case, and kebab-case are some choices.

Prefer plurals "landscapes" over singulars "landscape".

The point about Pythagoras is that he made Math really popular and maybe even enough broad to use it for Liberal Arts. The Egyptians which have build pyramids used to keep all their Mathematics in secret, only priests and some high-rankings could learn from their sources - and for limited set of goals.

What about Babylonians, their math (as well as Egyptian's) were too complicated for writing and (unless Greek's) was experienced some lack of integrity. For example, did Babylonians know that the square root of 2 is irrational? Pythagorians knew that exactly.

For me it is much more handy to consider well-known Pythagoras as father of our omnipotent Mathematics instead of some anonymous Babylonian who does not have an epic story about stealing some knowledge from totalitarian company and presenting it to mortals like Robin Good or Prometheas. And in that formulation I consider omnipotent Mathematics to be younger than Physics which even now has not achieved omnipotency level (hint about Theory of Everything).

And sorry but I have nothing to say should a CS be a part of Liberal Arts.

Teach your kids Tarock, not Bridge.

Ok, that phrasing is mostly just to keep the pattern going. But I do want to bring to light the fact that there are actually a larger class of games of the same sort as Bridge - imperfect information, high skill, with a body of strategy and discussion - than most Americans are aware of.

I think it’s worth mentioning these for two reasons:

1. They’re really wonderful games! And they have deep cultural roots, which can be added delight for those of us who enjoy engaging with other cultures.

2. Bridge players can be kind of… dicks? That is, it’s unfortunate but true that the culture of Bridge can often be quite rigid and unfriendly. Especially to newcomers. As mentioned elsewhere, a surprising amount of Bridge has to do with the conventions encoded in the bidding, and if you don’t know those conventions you might feel rather lost, and your partner might get very annoyed at you.

Luckily, there are other games in the world that are the ‘Bridge’ of their own countries of origin - deep, strategic, rewarding years of play and study - that the average English speaker has never heard of.

I won’t go into too much detail but some highlights are:

- Preferans, a straight-trick-taking game for three from Russia;

- Skat, a point-trick-taking game from Germany;

- Tarocchino, a point trick taking game played with a 62 card tarot deck from Bologna;

- Koenigrufen, a point trick game played with a 54 card tarot deck from Austria;

- Danish tarok, a point trick game played with a 78 card deck;

- Vira, a straight trick taking game from Sweden;

- a half dozen incredibly deep and challenging games from Hungary alone. Something in the water over there.

In point of fact, Bridge is quite interesting, especially if you’re interested in the meta game of communicating through bidding conventions. I am not; there are other games out there that have really interesting features, lots of strategy, and a history dating back hundreds of years. Check them out!

Because I’m an annoying evangelist for this sort of thing, I’ll make sure my email is in my profile in case you’d like to know more.

I like what you tried to do here, but then you got to #3. It's bizarre to me that you feel this process of Apple's constitutes "no artificial obstacles". Phone & laptop batteries used to be easy to replace. A few models still have this feature. It's not a hardware problem, it's a business decision. This process of Apple's is following the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law.
Displaying text on a cylinder would be interesting. You could just have one long line bending slightly downward, endlessly circling around.
Back then, everyone was thinking about how to make a super app like WeChat. The thinking was that if you hooked everyone on some practical application, like chat, you could add in banking, lending, games, news, etc. FB sorta did this with FB itself to some extent but never completely achieved that super app status. Messenger obviously did not, and neither did WhatsApp. If someone did do this, they would have achieved complete dominance.

That's why it was worth 20B.

You have this, so, so wrong.

Insider trading isn't X sold stocks at Y.

Insider trading is X arranged to sell stocks at Y based off of information disclosed from internal actor Z that was not publically knowable at the time of initial communication.

It's about having a traceable privileged internal source that no one else did. Both the source and the trader are then culpable. Nothing about order stream makes it clear insider trading happened. It's about communications and things that happened before the trade that make insider trading.

Trading in ones own shares as an executive is often treated with extra care because you are the ultimate insider, and you are also burdened with a responsibility that should prevent you from shorting your own stock (shorting as an exec signals either regulation on the horizon, or somebody hasn't been doing their fiduciary due diligence).
One of the chapters in Radical markets* talks about doing this, but primarily as a means of stopping the anticompetitive actions of active investors like Blackrock, which have an interest in coordinating the actions of their investments.

> Google

If you mean "google" as "google properties as a whole", then yeah (the fusion of google maps and google earth is something absolutely _mind blowing_ to see in a web browser, for example).

If you mean "google" as "the search engine", then I was perfectly fine with a server side rendered, non-so-much-semantic search it was until last decade. Advanced search worked well, fast as hell already. Hell, there were two search text boxes if you wanted to search for something else once you scrolled down to the bottom of the page.

There have been constant complaints that Apple doesn’t make its repair and maintenance equipment and parts available for others to use. Now that they do, it turns out they use extremely high quality professional tools to do near-factory quality work. So fine, here you are, you can get all the exact same stuff Apple uses. You win.

The WhatsApp situation was a huge driver behind Facebook's 2013 acquisition of Onavo.

FB first positioned Onavo as an "Opera Mini"-like data-compressing VPN for people with mobile data caps, later as "Onavo Protect" so they could scare people into installing it with the threat of the big bad open Internet, and lastly as "Facebook Research".

It gave FB five years of passive market research data so they could identify and acquire (or clone) popular new apps before they could grow into WhatsApp-sized competitors. Think of all the Snapchat-like features that appeared in Instagram around this time, for example, after they failed to directly clone Snapchat as "Slingshot".

The data from Onavo was so strategically-important that FB were willing to pay teenagers to install it and burned their Enterprise iOS cert doing so:

> I believe that the central cause of wealth inequality isn't so much about taxation or regulatory capture etc, as it is about individuals going to great lengths to maintain control of their companies.

I’m not really sure what you’re basing this on? Most of the richest people in the world don’t have controlling ownership of their businesses. Zuckerberg is the most notable exception here, and he took a lot of risks to get there. But companies knocking on trillion dollar valuations that aren’t public and don’t have diluted ownership structures are the exception rather than the rule as far as i can see.

It’s funny to read this now; I remember a big surge of excitement about Facebook chat bots among organizations. It was going to be a cool new way to engage followers on Facebook: they could message your org as if it were a person, and a bot would immediately handle the most common requests. FB even started putting a little score near the message button on pages for how fast replies happened. (Still there, last I checked.)

The excitement faded pretty quickly once folks realized that it was just a FB chat version of an automated phone menu. We know how popular those are. I don’t think it ever caught on with users, at least among the orgs I’m aware of.
This weekend, like any other time when it's possible, I'm continuing to work on Next Generation Shell. It is a fully-fledged programming language for the DevOps-y niche (the one which was once dominated by Perl). The language contains domain specific facilities such as convenient running of external programs and data manipulation.

From the article:

> Probability comes into play here: understanding distributions of cards and possible hands that opponents can have will allow you to figure out how to play for the maximum number of tricks.

This means that even in Duplicate Bridge there is an element of luck.

If I know that the King of Spades is most likely in the hand of my opponent on my left, and I decide to act on that uncertain belief, we've entered the territory of luck. If I was right, I'll have a big advantage over the other "duplicate" teams I'm competing against. If I was wrong, I'll be scored poorly.
I have no doubt that this is the case, or rather, no proof that it is not, but all of the things you’ve described are paralleled in U.S. police departments. I wonder if in Mexico as in the U.S. the responsiveness and trustworthiness of police is not highly dependent on where you live and how much money you have.
Two impressive site-wide systems I've seen are the categories of Wikimedia Commons (multimedia) and tags of Archive of Our Own (fanfiction). The Commons guideline[0] elucidates its system and interesting ontological theory well. It's scope is extremely broad, aiming to simultaneously include any possibly useful categorization scheme,[1] and overall is a fairly freeform (ideally) directed acyclic graph. Variations are handled with redirects and disambiguation pages in a typical wiki manner, with the limitation that individual category uses must have the canonical name. Ao3, in contrast, has a schema of sorts, and synonyms are made equivalent during resolution (its tags FAQ[2] is also an interesting read).

I tried to write a more thorough comment but also struggled with being coherent. Thus, some ideas, only briefly:

- At an even higher level, the web itself and the overlapping userbases/communities ('intersectionality', without the discrimination--the original set-theory kind?) of individual sites can also be considered a way of organizing content

- Thus, analogously: Search engines replaced directories and webrings as algorithms did tags. The present SEO meta, though...

- Generalizing from Commons, all Wikimedia wikis (Wikipedia, etc.) have parallel category structures, only less developed due to the greater reliance on links. So do most wikis in general, though Wikimedia also unifies categorization and structured data with Wikidata. From there are knowledge graphs and databases in general, wrapping back around to Google trying to determine the Knowledge Graph item that each query refers to.

If I understand correctly, this means that a natural distribution of wealth should have exactly zero correlation with distribution of political power, is that right?
> the backend no longer needs to take into consideration the various clients. For example, the same API can serve a SPA and a Mobile app and some other interactions with other systems(integrations with multiple services becomes so easy).

Drawing a circle artificially around a portion of your code and saying "look, now the circled part doesn't need to change!" feels like creative accounting to me as well. If you have multiple clients, the code for multiple clients still has to live somewhere, so it's not like the whole system that you need to build is getting simpler.

Pretty much the only actual difference I can see here is the ability to use more of client's CPU time to run your applications. I'm sure there's applications that could profit from that.

> For example, you no longer need someone who knows PHP/SQL/Linux and JS/HTML/CSS.

But if you don't do your logic in JS but do it in PHP on the server, you don't need a JS person. And if you were using Seaside, you wouldn't need an HTML/CSS person since everything would be just Smalltalk at that point. It's again just moving stuff around, but someone still has to do that.

I guess one situation where this argument might apply would be if one of the two language options was difficult to hire for.

> You also have less vendor lock-ins because the front end and the back end are agnostic to each other, which means you can much easily ditch something from the one side without doing any work on the other side.

Not even this argument seems any less artificial to me, since if you're ditching something, I'm not quite sure why it matters where you ditch it from -- unless you have no control over one of the sides. In that particular case, I could see this as an argument. If you're forced to do a client for an already existing server, you're obviously justified in doing a pure client-side solution for anything that doesn't exist on the server yet. If you're building your own server, this limitation is removed.
Logan's Run sets the limit at 30, and is less particular about informed consent to the procedure. Maybe this film is the prequel, before regulatory capture, scope creep and empire building.

Working within the system isn’t always the answer. Was the Boston Tea Party “working within the system”?
Because you or a team knows it, because it's still a hell of a lot more of a batteries included ecosystem than the last Scala or node projects I was involved in which had to reinvent a shocking number of wheels that are table stakes in Rails-land (can't speak to .net, never been an MS stack dev), because you're working with some other Ruby or Rails thing and its easiest to stay compatible, because there's a lot of mature, profitable projects out there hiring in it with high salaries ;), etc

It's an engineering decision with tradeoffs, like every engineering decision.
This is why I prefer ordering with the app, they see the whole list of what you want and don't have to go through the mental effort of wondering how much of what to use as they don't know how many stuffings you want.
Where I was in high-school, bridge happened to be extremely popular (and also another Whist variant, some kind of Oh Hell).

I can assure you that most of the bridge games from that high-school time were extremely funny and hilarious.

So I do not believe that whether a game is boring or funny has much to do with the rules of the game, but more with what kind of players participate.

Also, I do not believe that the rules of bridge are too complicated. When I was much younger, many simpler card games were entertaining, but by the time we were in high-school, most other card games, except bridge, seemed much too simple to provide any kind of intellectual satisfaction after a skillful win.
I might give it another shot. There’s a bridge club in the area that might be worth looking into.

And whist is great. I inflicted that on my friends at Scout camp one summer, and they ended up actually enjoying it. I need to refresh myself on bid whist.
Oh, that changes the analysis then... those above the threshold would steadily gain over those below. Hmmm, a bit like the real world.
As a Electrical Engineer of 15 years pivoting into Cloud Data Engineering (AWS stack) I can completely attest to this.

Question: If you use the FreeBSD Ports collection for the services you run, how do you deal with Ports' quarterly releases? One reason I haven't used FreeBSD much is because of the fear of doing bulk updates every 90 days, and having to fix random things that might break due to software upgrades.

For a home server I have no problem with this, but if it's something I want to leave in production and have security updates for, I'm more at-ease using Debian or Ubuntu with their 3- and 5-years' worth of support.

Is there something I'm missing about using FreeBSD in production, or is anything outside of the base system just supposed to be more hands-on?
Sounds like our traditional economy then.
I don't understand, the landing page says "self-hosted" and offers docker images. Then the linked hamsterbase GitHub repo [0] has no code in it.

Also curious- why use a rodent-oriented name for such an amazing project?

If you must stick with the rodent theme, "GopherBase" sounds a little less icky IMHO. Otherwise, what do you think of "SelfWayback"? :)
