Exactly. Then we'll have abolished the nuclear family and the problem of generational wealth. There will be an equitable distribution of wealth and disparities along racial, sexual, and economic lines will have evaporated.

Without generational wealth or inheritance, there will be no incentive to own property. All housing will be group housing provided in return for work. All transportation will be provided as a public utility. People will no longer have anything to hide.

Ooh, this definitely struck a chord in me, as I fall right into that stereotype.

I was forced to play piano for 10 years and to do all those recitals and music theory tests. I could never wiggle myself out of it because of all the guilt-tripping. So of course, I went to college and promptly dropped all of it.

And unexpectedly, nearly a decade later, this pandemic thing happened, I returned to piano, recently bought a digital piano, and found a teacher. I practice 1-2 hours every day. And a lot of those skills I thought I would have lost returned pretty quickly.

I have a lot of complicated emotions around this that I haven’t really quite figured out. But if I were to summarize them at their current stage, they’d be something like: (1) I am grateful that I was pushed to learn this instrument, (2) I realized I really disliked my childhood piano teacher, (3) my parents failed to recognize that for 10 years (as evidenced by never presenting the option of finding someone else), and (4) playing to inflate someone else’s ego is absolutely demotivating.

One of the unfortunate effects is that roughly 1/3rd of Mozart’s sonatas are unplayable because I have some bad memories associated with them. Fortunately, there’s plenty of music in the world that don’t trigger those feelings, and I am so glad that I didn’t play that much Chopin back then.

Maybe that might help? I’m not a parent, so consider these raw ideas that need some work to become parenting advice.

Switzerland rules for firearms ownership are a lot more restrictive than the US (background check for everyone, no automatic weapons, etc), and although the percentage of guns per 100 people is higher than other countries, still is about 1/4 of the US where there are roughly 5 firearms every 4 people.

So what's the sweet spot for regulating sex? Some people get permanently banned, others don't? You have to check in with the government on who you can have sex with, but they'll only enforce some checks? Some people get "STI PreCheck" conditional on good behavior, but others are subject to more scrutiny? What's the plan to progressively ramp up sex regulation so that the population is slowly de-sexed?

I appreciate your honesty about your motives: you want the population to eventually be disarmed. That's a non-starter for a lot of Americans who believe it to be a civil right, not something to be negotiated and progressively removed.
> What if it’s both? What if it is muddled?

If governments are muddling it, that makes it even more important for the NYT to un-muddle and call them out on it. And I absolutely agree some countries are using privacy as a dishonest argument.

Apologies for not being clearer here, it's the lack of distinction in the reporting that really riled me. Privacy requirements can — in theory — be met regardless of where the data is actually stored. It just needs to be a place that enables compliance with these requirements. Which just happens to frequently (and sadly) run afoul of "lawful intercept/access" laws.

And I really wish the NYT would have pointed that out.
Wil's character on TNG was my least favorite, even as a kid watching TNG growing up, but I don't believe that is his fault. Clearly the writers did not know what to do with him, and its likely his performance is a result of whatever direction he was given. In the later seasons, particularly in his final episode regardless of the ridiculous "traveler" storyline, his acting is much better, likely as a result of older and more easily relatable. I guess this is all to say he was good at acting, you only need to watch "Stand By Me" to see that. If he had been worse at it its likely his mother would not have been so successful at forcing him to continue to do it.
I record audio vignettes all the time using iOS Voice Memos, opportunistically snapping 30 seconds or so, the same way one might snap a random photo with a phone. City noises, transport noises, in-situ music, birdsong, machinery, a bedtime story, hold music… all kinds of cool stuff. I haven’t found any better way to organize this collection than chronologically with a short title for each.

I’m also a big fan of Live Photos (remember Live Photos? Nobody talks about them any more), and the short burst of audio you get with each.

Looking and listening back at some of these, it’s the sound which brings the scene back to life. The sound feels alive, while photographs alone feel frozen and distant.

I would argue: an entity is liable for how it treats user data, in the country where that data is generated. This original country is where interactions and transactions take place.

If it chooses to move that data elsewhere, that is its choice, and also liability if moving that data runs afoul of regulations in the original country. The foreign country itself doesn't really matter, the entity is doing business in the original country, and would be held liable there by its users/business partners according to local laws.

Yes. Very much this. Anecdotally, I'd estimate that, outside of the big, well-known modules, about 25% of the CPAN modules I try to use have bugs that render them unusable and unresponsive maintainers.

Hotels Using NFTs to Create a StubHub for Lodging Reservations
I’ve written a nontrivial anount of Perl code in my life, admittedly almost none in the last decade. For all its obvious flaws, I always liked the language, and am happy to see it getting attention and moving forward.

Having said that, I think this might be too fine-grained.

First, opting in to an experimental feature could be a one-liner, “use experimental feature ‘try’” or similar. There’s no point in punishing your valuable beta testers beyond that with a second line that’s entirely redundant with the first one.

The larger problem is the versions. This basically requires someone to update their script headers all the time if they want to keep getting new features. Probably not much of a problem currently, but might be if releases get more frequent. I personally like the “edition” concept of Rust a lot better: get over with all necessary breaking changes in one swoop, but then begin a new (hopefully long) era of backwards compatibility. That makes it easier for users to maintain their code, is probably easier to implement, and also easier for users to learn, since there are fewer sets of rules.

Lastly, I hope they also focus on tooling around installation. One paradoxical problem with modernizing Perl is its historic success: every variant of Linux or Unix already comes with an ancient version of it. I know many experienced Unix people hate this trend, but there’s a reason some of the most actively evolving language ecosystems install more and more of their binaries into the user’s home directory. Maybe that’s already the case for Perl, I wouldn’t know.

All that said, I’m not following Perl that closely anymore. These are just some really quick observations about very complex topics. I don’t claim to know nearly as much as the people who made these decisions, and it’s great to see that things are happening.
The feature pragmas look like an interesting way to preserve backwards compatibility & yet allowing for new language features.
I understand the impulse of wanting to prevent suffering, and even to some extent to prevent mistakes. However, mistakes are how children learn. You make a mistake, you learn not to do it again. That is also how you learn to cope (which is a critical skill in adulthood) with emotions and consequences. These children then go on to make mistakes in adulthood, and they don't have the necessary emotional framework to healthily cope; this leads to more mistakes, etc. Also, these people never, well, "learned" how to learn from their mistakes either. So they self-blame, self-hate, and repeat the same mistakes.

Let children make mistakes, but provide a support net for them to go back. Let them deal with the consequences, but also show compassion, explain why this happened (and it involves other people how it made other people feel), and SHOW them how to do better. If you reprimand children, also make sure you praise them.

Parents are there to teach children how to live their own life, not tell them how to live a life the parent wants.

Of course, there are some mistakes you will want to prevent, like letting your kid run into ongoing traffic, etc. But we're not talking about life-threatening mistakes.

This is obviously harder and more "stressful" than just locking your kids up (and this isn't even just a dysphemism; this happens through repeated emotional abuse), and shouting at them "do this, do that or nobody will love you". That's not parenting, that's just fucking sick.
The rittenhouse(?) case (which is used over here now to show how crazy Americans really are unfortunately) shows that this is a rather broad concept in the US (maybe depending on the state?).

Unless you start migrating data between environments and want references to be alive.

Anyway, if you need a hardcoded GUID for tests or what, paste this into PowerShell: [Guid]::NewGuid()

Not arguing, just developing for a system that uses guids as primary IDs and writing tests for that system. I don't even need to hardcode GUID, as within test bootstrap I'm creating objects with generated IDs I can reference later for comparison.

I chose to build in Perl because of its ubiquity and committment to backwards compatibility.

I was extremely frustrated with existing projects having dependency issues and frequent breakage and wanted to avoid that at all costs.

Perl's flexibility has allowed me to develop my own coding style, which is basically Java-like, and I rarely have trouble figuring out what something does, even months later.

I think Perl is vastly underrated as a language, and its suffers from repeat-speak of people who have only seen poorly written Perl or have never seen a well-managed Perl project.

One of my favorite things about Perl is that there are 20 years of code samples on the Web for it and they ALL WORK because Perl has not introduced breaking changes since 5.000.

No, HTTPS works with self signed certs too, it's browsers that don't want you to and show a scary popup like this

Which is not even true, the connection is private, it is simply privately private and not "trusted" by any know CA.

which could not be a problem if I trust the website and who runs it.

In the beginning giving up early seems like no big deal to the parent. At some point they might get a little uneasy. Are you maybe inadvertently teaching your child that giving up is okay by giving in too early and often? On the flip side, being increasingly heavy handed about finally sticking with the current thing because you are also battling with your own sense of time getting short to teach persistence seems problematic.

Tricky.

But to use that new feature they'd need to modify their code anyway, so this isn't really an issue in practice, is it?

> I personally like the “edition” concept of Rust a lot better: get over with all necessary breaking changes in one swoop, but then have a new (hopefully long) era of backwards compatibility.

How is this any different from having a repeat of the python2->python3 fiasco (which, AFAIK, Perl developers are trying to avoid)? Making piecemeal (if needed) changes is much easier than having to update a ton of code and that is even more important when that code wasn't touched for a long time.

It leverages Thread Director on the latest Intel CPU's to be smarter at juggling threads between performance and power-efficient cores:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16881/a-deep-dive-into-intels...

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16959/intel-innovation-alder-...

Intel and MS worked together on the feature. A microcontroller embedded in the CPU monitors each thread's instruction stream along with other metrics, and feeds hints back to the OS scheduler about whether it should be on a P vs. E core. It can also detect when a thread is constrained by something other than frequency and temporarily throttle down the clock on that core to save power.
I gather the microcontroller runs an ML algorithm pre-trained on "millions of hours of data" to help with thread classification.
