This was Apple Computer's corporate strategy before the Macintosh was even introduced.

Something relevant might have happened five years ago but it wasn't 'Big Tech ... pushing into education', that strategy is older than most people posting on this site.
This was my vision- macOS as an app on M1 iPads. I think they're obviously afraid to give users a way around the app store.

Seriously, there's a good article buried in there. Are we going to see the recipe site SEO anecdotes propagate.
Islam conquered and ruled India by the sword. Similar to how Europeans conquered many 'western' lands today. Islam and Europe are then quite similar to each other and quite dissimilar from India in their lust to conquer and subjugate and their generous use of violence.
Wait what? How was that not bigger news?? How is not finding them on an asteroid not bigger news??? This brings up many more questions than answers, but how is it not possible at least to say that we're not the only place in the universe where life exists?
That is not fair analogy in the slightest.
I'm curious, was the music included in that 4kb demo?
Agree on regex. I started in perl many years ago and loved how integrated regexes were. Was appalled that was was a simple one liner in perl turned into multiple lines in python for every regex.
Making a powerful tool easy to use means it will be used more.

It would be nice if that flaw could be fixed, as I like coding in python in general
That is fascinating. Where can I read more about this subject?
We can get our affairs in order and prepare for human extinction.
The entire article can be summed up as: “OSM stores maps as graphs, in flat files where each line is either a node, an ordered list of nodes, or metadata. The graph nodes can be arbitrarily ordered in OSM files, which leads to computational complexity when parsing them. This is not a bad thing, since it means that the spec for OSM files can be extremely simple, which makes it easy for people to contribute to OSM. Other mapping formats optimized for parsing speed require a lot of irrelevant fluff that makes them much harder to understand by human contributors.”

Ironically, 95% of this article is irrelevant fluff that does not make it any easier for the reader to understand.
True, although Blind Guardian sang about LotR well before it went mainstream.
“CO2 levels are now comparable to the Pliocene Climatic Optimum, between 4.1 and 4.5 million years ago, when they were close to, or above 400 ppm. During that time, sea levels were between 5 and 25 meters higher than today offsite, high enough to drown many of the world’s largest modern cities. “

Oh boy, that’s not good. I mean it’s going to take a while for it to raise up, but so long Florida.

But you were commenting on the use of drugs, which is not mentioned in the article? Is that correct?
I remain stunned by the lack of action on fossil fuels and lifestyles generally. Even leaving aside the fact we are wrecking the planet, we rely on some deeply unsavoury countries for oil, gas and coal and we could have made a conscious choice to mitigate our dependence on them years ago and simply haven't done it.

What's worse is politicians have no desire to lead, so it is life to people with "alternative" (eg sustainable) lifestyles to retrofit their homes, ride bicycles, and generate less waste. Presumably the fear is that we have invested so deeply in fossil fuels that we can't unwind that rapidly. I'm sure everyone here knows a sunk cost when they see one.

I really do fear for my old age, and my kids lives. We've created too many incentives to wreck the world and people quite reasonably respond to them. Things have to change.
He means to combine them. So when you have a function A -> B and some other function B -> X, he wants to be able to make a composed function A -> X out of them.

This is a common thing in many functional style programming languages.
I assume the part of Yandex situated in Russia is the only part still operating. So it wouldn't make much sense keep running it from Cyprus.
Think of it not as production, think of it as extraction, a conversion of crude safely stored in underground vaults to dollars. Holding back has the double benefit of rising prices now and increasing the amount you can sell in the future. The price-fix is not just about keeping it up, it also has an element of not outdoing each other in the "oil futures" speculation that would be implicit in not extracting now. No oil country (well, no oil country except Norway I suppose) would be happy to enjoy a dominant market share now at the cost of having to leave the market earlier than their peers. One might expect that all the talk about CO2 would shift the balance between those two sides within OPEC (and those that tag along?), but habits change slowly.

Trump tried to do exactly that in the original 2020 COVID stimulus bill: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/03/26/us-suspends-plans-to-buy...

Original plan was to buy $3B worth of oil at about $24/barrel to fill the strategic petroleum reserves. But the Democrats blocked it in the Senate and demanded it’s removal from the bill.
We solved the ozone hole, we can solve this, it just takes leaders who aren’t bought by existing fossil fuel interests.
Switching oil providers is not as easy as most people think.
Refining facilities are more or less matched to their feedstocks, retro-fitting to other crudes always takes some time and money.

Also, adjusting production and delivery is not an instantaneous process. Especially when you substitute a pipeline-based feedstock (as Europe is doing right now) in favor of tankers. You need tanker capacity, you need to have contracts for this, you need terminals, and you need pipelines from the port to the refining facility.

Things are simply not as easy and supply shocks take time and effort for resolution.

> Perl 6 was treated as the successor of Perl 5

In 2000, for all intents and purposes, Perl 6 was the successor of Perl 5. And one of the reasons the project was started, was because Perl 5 was already dying at that point. Not only losing the web server competition to PHP, but also from internal battles, close to civil war.

The internal battles ceased for a while when the Perl 6 process was started. But around 2008, it became a war between Perl 5 and Perl 6. To squelch that, the sister language meme was born. But that just meant a cease-fire, rather than peace, and the dissent and resentments continued to fester under the blanket of the sister language meme.

Until 2019, when the rename of Perl 6 to the Raku Programming Language happened. Factions within Perl 5 lost their common enemy, and fighting could start all over again. Which caused at least one pumpking to resign.

To mark Perl 6 as the cause for Perl 5's demise, is incorrect. Perl 6 was one of the effects of Perl 5's demise.

Meanwhile the Raku Programming Language continues to build a programming language of the future. You can check out the Rakudo Weekly News if you want to stay up-to-date on developments https://rakudoweekly.blog

>Search engines such as Google are designed to index results containing any possible content;
they index websites throughout the world; the information is indexed by their ‘web crawlers’ or
robots, that is to say, computer programmes used to locate and sweep up the content of web
pages methodically and automatically (see by analogy judgment of the ECJ in Google Spain,
C‑131/12, para. 43). The activity of search engines plays a decisive role in the overall
dissemination of content in that it renders the latter accessible to any internet user making a
search on the basis of the content indication or related terms, including to internet users who
otherwise would not have found the web page on which that content is published (see by analogy
judgment of the ECJ in Google Spain, C‑131/12, para. 36). Consequently, if search engines such
as Google did not delist RT and Sputnik, they would facilitate the public’s access to the content
of RT and Sputnik, or contribute to such access.

>It follows from the foregoing that by virtue of the Regulation, providers of Internet search
services must make sure that i) any link to the Internet sites of RT and Sputnik and ii) any

I think when cataclysmic events start happening, people will start to get agitated. It is worth them (and you) knowing the causes, and the culprits.
> human error is an unfortunately effective way at ending an
investigation

If you can't find a scapegoat, senior executives will line up to throw
themselves on a grenade in return for a golden parachute and
preferential place at the revolving door of professional management
networks.

Why? Because the kind of contextual root cause analysis the author is
(in good faith) promoting here is the last thing anybody wants in
companies that cut corners and push risk externalities on to the
world.

> we human beings are physical beings, you can think of us as machines

Nice postulate let's see where that leads...

It's certainly dehumanising (and therefore fails multiple essential
requirements for real-world use) but let's entertain the idea that we
are simply little functional utility maximisers.

> how did the operator's g function score a higher value for pushing A
over B?

All we have to do is take into account every single variable and
contextual factor of the workplace, training, remuneration, budgets,
policy, corporate strategy, markets, competition...

But there's a fly in the ointment. Are corporations not "legal
persons"? So we must also consider them "as machines", right?

They cannot be 'blamed', but are merely little profit maximising
functional automatons. And by dint of the same logic, we must look to
their environment, contextual variables, national and global politics
and so on, in which governments are simply little utility maximising
machines with their own values.

While not an infinite regress, it is an analytic process that pushes
all causation out to a nebulous margin which, most importantly, cannot
be changed. Therefore all failures, no matter how many lives or
billions of dollars are lost, is ultimately "just the way the world
is".

In our hearts most of us already know this. But perfomative justice,
and the entire edifice of rational scientific management, rests on
finding local culprits after no more than "5 why?" iterations.

We don't have architects :-) Most of bigger topics is decided by communicating between seniors in various projects. (it's fully transparent, anyone can see and contribute).

We have some PMs/POs in order to cover communications with customer - there's legal part to manage, market research, and there are difficult customers, which unusual reporting needs that have nothing to do with technology, so everyone is happy to leave it to them.

And [2] promises that answer. Before reading that, I was thinking some mechanic, or perhaps a farm hand turned logistics sergeant, had to see the problem and know that a special type of grease was the answer. Then, how to communicate that up the chain, when the bosses might not know about engines in that way?

I feel this is the struggle of innovation, repeated once more but in a literal life and death context.

I’d love to know more about that part of the story.

Well it's despicable because of the consequences.

In a localized market, people adjusted their risk by stocking up toilet paper, canned goods, etc. Those who couldn't afford it, or came too late, were left with nothing.

In a globalized market those who have access to free money can hoard as much of it as they want.

As a consequence it spreads like a disease.

You may say, in the case of the USA: "well, I guess that's the perks of being in control of the standard currency for global transactions, the rest just has to deal with it" -> this won't end up well for anyone.
My "user experience" includes using hardware / software to it's potential extent. If I am limited to a kindergarten state for marketing reasons I simply do not join the ecosystem.

I “remember” maybe one dream every 6 months.

And those memories are like “aah I was falling” or “I hadn’t prepared for a test!” or “there was a group of people” sometimes the additional detail of “I wasn’t clothed…”

Thanks, it looks like it.
This used to be the case, but once Ruby stopped being the hot language, the examples of "just because you can doesn't mean you should" went to JS. Rake and RSpec format are the only two DSLs that get any major use anymore, and most other spec tools in other languages use similar describe/it DSLs to RSpec.

I think it’s more likely that they want products to create touch native versions of apps while allowing running macOS apps directly would result in less iPad apps being made since telling the user to connect a mouse and keyboard is workable.

Billionaires hoarding toilet paper isn't a problem. It's everyday folk. Same for practically any other thing where hoarding is blamed. When we're calling the dispersed response of hundreds of millions of people despicable, it's the system--not people--that is broken.

If you make the same argument for people spending time in the office, you might see the problem.

It's a race to the bottom. Sure that one guy with no friends or family has nowhere else to go, so he doesn't care, but if he gets rewarded for it, everyone else gets dragged in and we've decided that long hours aren't productive anyway, and certainly don't replace the time spent with friends and family.

Taking risks is another, more extreme, example. What if someone has terminal cancer or just doesn't care if he lives? There's probably many jobs they can do faster since they're not trying particular hard to stay alive.

It's maybe harder to see the problem when someone is super keen on their work, but I think we'd all be better off if they channelled that energy into something else of equal mental stimulation separate from their work.

Not my experience. Maybe for specific stuff for HN type users, but in general the functionality (aka options) in recent years have gone up, not down. Most apps are very high quality compared to Android especially (and yes I use both ecosystems)

There is a reason it is a cash cow. People like buying it.
In that case, oil prices will stay high. Russia is winning the war and so the sanctions will remain in place.
So are dead humans
Or unionize. In this case it would be to petition apple or the FCC or whatever.
Two-party system makes it really tough to vote for the party that can do what you think is right, no? Either party is the enemy and basically the justification for the existence of the other, and as long as they throw back and forth petty issues those who want power and money get to keep it.
What are you talking about?

An entire party is basically accelerationist, and the other one largely just waffles about.

Don’t have to look much further than this very website to see examples. Just look at the frothing rage in the comments every time the topic gets to reducing car and natural gas usage.
Again say there were vulnerabilities due to sidechannels, vulnerabilities related to repetitive scanning with certain options, or weaknesses in the algorithms that allow for collisions much sooner than expected. If you're interesting enough to specifically be targeted by a distributed attack then hopefully you have additional layers while if you're just getting attacked for having an IP exposed on the internet IPS/IDS like fail2ban can be a pretty good first defense. In both cases it's great to feed your SIEM.

By "humble circumstances" I presume you refer to the fact that he wasn't born an aristocrat? This certainly bothered the 19-century upper class which is why they came up with the "oxfordian" theories, that Shakespeare of Avon was really a front for some proper aristocratic author.

It also bothered them that Shakespeare was an actor, since actors at the time was considered lower status. So by separating the actor Shakespeare from a hypothetical aristocratic author, the prestige of the greatest author of the English language was saved.

It was also rather embarrassing that Shakespeare was part owner of the Globe Theater and seemed to have been a savvy businessman, becoming wealthy through his career. This was embarrassing because a proper aristocrat and poet should of course be elevated above any concerns about earning money (as opposed to just naturally having them).
Not toilet paper, but micro processors, production lines, raw materials, for example.

How do you tackle this? Like I said in my original comment - will we have to resort to quotas?
Sadly it is a smart thing.

But not only to get any code to prod.

From my perspective it is to stop loads of stupid code/stupid solutions even way before it is written down as a task on your favorite task tracking tool.

That is what meetings are for as well.

Doesn't appear to have an IDL nor does it appear to generate proxies on the client side. At least from a cursory reading.

But I do agree that it appears to be another in a long line of remote object protocols. It's not obvious why this will succeed where the others haven't as it appears to have the same flaws but with some extra ones of its own e.g the client doesn't seem to type the remote method calls.

Would have been nice to have some argumentation as to why it won't crash and burn like its predecessors but I'm guessing that either the authors aren't aware of them or they don't believe their clients will be.
It’s going to take some more radical action. I very much respect the protesters who risk their freedom to disrupt coal mining operations in Australia or deflating oversized SUV tires in the UK.
