And that's the reason I think copyright should be about 10 years. People value "authenticity" even when it doesn't make sense. There's just something about having the "original" or the "true" one. With that in mind, I think that writers would still be able to sell their books and sequels even after other writers get access to their characters and worlds. It's almost like fanfiction vs actual author. Anyone could write The Winds of Winter. Someone somewhere probably has. But if they were able to release it alongside G.R.R. Martin, I know who I'd bet on having more sales.
I have done enough debugging using graphical debuggers on X Windows sessions.

It is so ironic to see the pendulum swing back to how I used to code in UNIX environments 30 years ago, while being told it is impossible to have worked like that.

Not only that, using development VMs has been a constant for me since 2011, either via Citrix or RDP.

One explanation could be a difference between China and the West. Historically the West relies on primogeniture where the eldest son inherits a vast majority of the fortune and other sons need to move out and build a career for themselves. Classical China OTOH would split their fortune (which for 90% of folks was land since most were farmers) between their sons. Primogeniture encourages maintaining wealth across generations through the eldest son while the latter could mean the fortune gets spread out and eventually lost within 3 generations. For example, see research by Thomas Piketty about how ppl who were rich in 16th century Italy are still absurdly rich today.
Goldbelly does this, it's very much a luxury/gift thing but yeah I don't get it
Jobs where the people that write the software are close to the people that use the software tend to have fewer process restrictions and less red tape because there is more direct accountability. Science teams, applied research, and some data science groups are set up this way.
I wouldn't hold the lack of a natural language specification against Typescript. Canonical open-source implementations work just as well in practice and tend to become de-facto standards: Microsoft's compiler is effectively a human- and computer-readable specification.
The model for American walkability and density is not DC or NYC, it's places like Savannah, Charleston, New Orleans, Ashville, the feel of older streetcar suburbs and small college towns, ... None of those have subway systems, all of them are aspirational urban environments. None of them ban cars, but in all of them car traffic is slower and and more gentle. Certainly, _any_ neighborhood built before the 30s can emulate those. Later suburban developments can dial in such densification as well.

The main issue working against this is that the public realm is completely degraded because it only accommodates car traffic. Other ways of getting around are bullied out by high speed, dangerous cars. It's a textbook example of a vicious circle. The fact that there are a few urban areas in the US where owning a car is a drag due to parking issues, should not hold back meaningful improvements and efforts to break out of it anywhere else.
Okay, but also at the same time we had XHTML with strict errors that would crash the webpage. As a result, nobody used it or wanted it in practical, messy, real world code.

Since that backtrack, the Internet has always been about displaying something at all times.

Adding types to JavaScript and hard failing when they’re incorrect is not a JavaScript anyone wants to publish. We’d rather have the forgiving but messy JavaScript than the one that stops a webpage from working when it gets a different data shape from a JSON endpoint due to runtime checks.

Nobody actually wants runtime checks on the web unless you’ve a way to opt in to them. And guess what? You could. There’s nothing stopping you from writing a compiler that adds runtime checks to your code. In fact, that’s pretty much what code generators do for typescript when they create validation functions to make writing or working with APIs a bit easier.
Yeah, the case of "this is something we knew existed but didn't have a copy of" makes a lot more sense than "I want to be one of 20 people who own a copy of this thing". Even the collectors openly admit to actually playing the games via emulators.
> Chrome has an incredibly responsible practice, of reporting well ahead of time their "Intent to Experiment" & "Intent to Prototype".

Ah yes. "Responsible". Here's a prime example of responsibility: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/459

> Chrome wants & believes in an alive standards making process, in advancing, carefully, cautiously.

Ah yes. Carefully and cautiously as in: shipping 400 new Web APIs a year with very little to no discussion and dismissing most concerns from other browser implementors.

IMO this is true for every field that has a similar draw. Working on anything that's perceived as "fun" or for the greater good will allow for lower comp and worse working conditions. I believe that that's also a factor why teachers in the US can be so underpaid and treated badly and why Musk gets away with some of the rougher working conditions at Tesla and SpaceX (at least the pay seems good at those companies though).

I'd say it's for the better: sometimes you want to stay in the same tool, and it's the tool's job to interpret your intent.

Imagine you are editing a markdown file and have a picture in your Windows clipboard.

IMHO, the proper action would be to output base64 encoded jpeg data, even if it's "partially recreating the same functions", as it makes a copy-paste of screenshots from say the snipping tool (Win Shift S) seamless.

BTW, github doesn't support base64 encoded jpeg or png data, under the excuse that SVG could have security implications (which is true but not applicable for png/jpg) so don't bother trying it over there...

This will be very interesting. I feel like some of the recent elections are showing that perhaps some more liberal policies have gone too far.

It'll be interesting to see how people might react if they either can't own a car, or can't park very close to home.

An interesting model for a city would be a dense city with some sort of shared cars on the outskirts for when you need road trips.
You would think that, but try injecting 5K rows table into html document. My experience in Chrome and modern 4GHz CPU:

'6K rows, 300ms to insert into page on paper (console.time(1); console.timeEnd(1)), but in reality browser freezes for 3 seconds (1.8s style, 900ms layout, 300ms update tree). Freezing goes away with position: absolute, but it still takes 3 seconds to show up after .appendChild. I tried replacing Table with Flex divs, even worse speed.'

I imagine I could make Chrome hang for more than 30 seconds with plain old HTML Tables :)

The jist of what I got from the post was that you created a tool which monitors caches and that helped find bugs that cause inconsistent cache issues. How is that solving a computer science problem?

We seem to have different concepts with regards to the cache invalidation problem.

The one I know has to do with "Is there a change in the source data? How should I check this? How often?" and such things.

Yours seems to be "In my distributed system, I cannot guarantee the order of the messages that get exchanged, and thus, different nodes may end up having different information at times".

IMO you have a consensus/distributed data problem, not a cache invalidation problem (the inconsistency between your cache nodes is a consequence of the underlying design of your system).

I think it's a little bit of a myth that it's impossible to serve low density neighbourhoods with public transport; there's a fair bit of research on the subject actually. (https://www.ptua.org.au/myths/density/) it's also somewhat self-fulfilling that the "cost of sprawl" is inverted in car-based communities, as you need to fan-out your infrastructure to avoid congestions of traffic and car storage, at least at the leaf nodes (IE suburbs).

Cycling infrastructure (as per Amsterdam), a healthy rail network (also NL) and a semi-competent bus and tram system are all parts of a larger picture when referencing public transport.

The solutions are similar, even if they're not the same, there is a lot of research on public transportation and what makes sense where, if one only looks.
Engineers were instrumental towards the greatest changes over the past century - from jet aviation to nuclear bombs. We, as engineering brethren, learnt to simplify work, improve lifestyle, tried making resources more accessible & equitable, fostering a generally congenial culture of trust-based camaraderie. For every creative challenge there are multiple ideas for engineers. Flexibility and independence at workplace have a high correlation to work quality.

But we have sales, managers & marketing honchos as the necessary evil - the other side of the equation, the yan to the yin. They are masters of Excel sheets, conjurers of convincing graphs, and savants of dubious management theories. Except the rare few, most MBA-wielding junta try to over-optimize the very workforce earning them their source of bread & butter.

Viva is one such "optimization tool" which is encouraged during performance reviews. We have used it & we are happier without it. I feel sorry for the team who made it. The execution is clueless shortsighted and lacking imagination. It isn't designed for anyone who remotely uses something except O365, much less the more complex development ecosystem. Its reminders are labored, the focus indicators are hilarious & no one takes the estimated time distribution seriously. It is a software which should never have existed - but still does - a sad reminder of what badly conceived idea married to painful execution looks like
Why does @ars have to pay for the situation they want, but you don't? If @ars wants a less dense city, and you want a more dense one, why should you be able to force it on others, but not the other way around? Why don't you move?

Gone in 130 seconds: New Tesla hack gives thieves their own personal key
I found that the more I delivered and the happier I made senior people, the more I could ignore the rules and process and friction and get stuff done. Probably a year or so in I barely paid any notice to most of it.

I had a huge amount of freedom, really. But after a bit over a decade I finally moved to the world of startups. I’d never go back.

So while you can definitely work on removing your own personal frictions, and it’s absolutely worth selectively breaking the rules, I’m not sure you’ll ever be as happy as you could be in a different environment if that’s how you feel now.

As the Audubon Society notes, the number is dwarfed by the number of birds killed by house cats and building collisions. But there are even greater threats to birds, like increased use of pesticide and above all - climate change.

Stopping wind power expansion because of the birds that die in collisions is like not extinguishing a building on fire because of fears of the damage the water will do to the building.

That said, many laws include provisions to minimise the harm to birds and bats. Including the German one under discussion.
If you are fully insulated from everyone else decisions, I'd call that not participating in society anymore...
That's really pretty dumb. I run plenty of stuff on my local machine that has nothing to do with development, it simply runs there because I only want it to run on my local machine. So localhost is my production environment.

The idea that some bozo somewhere will decide what I can do with my local machine just because they don't have a usecase for it is really meddlesome. Go and disable localhost on your own box. Leave mine alone.

And that goes for the endless number of usecases that haven't been tallied yet.
wonder how much coffeecscript played a role in it. I happen to be writting coffescript at the time and noticed how it tended to hide its unnecessary wrapping when you use its syntax sugar. Still kinda wish we have a typed version of it.

> Beren would [...] cast fraudulent votes in support of Myers’ preferred candidates on behalf of voters she knew would not or did not physically appear at the polls. [...] If actual voter turnout was high, Beren would add fewer fraudulent votes in support of Myers’ preferred candidates.

Great, so now this gives extra credence to the "the election was stolen" narrative. Well, I mean it looks like in this case it had actually been stolen for years in that particular ward in Philly.

Hopefully one day we can have paper trails, IDs, registration records matching and so on. We can fly satellites beyond the solar system, but managing voting integrity of a few hundred million people is seemingly unsurmountable problem. Every single election it's an endless tirade of debates afterwards that it was stolen or not stolen and so on. This is stuff that even poorer countries with even more people seem to manage.

As to you last point, there are proposals to bring typing to ECMAScript right now.
There is a better way to do this.

An example of output that fits this paradigm you describe-- but to a much further degree-- would be the dozens of tables shown in the securities offering described at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001561167/000114420... search for "Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date" (on page A-3).

How do you generate reports like this in a manner that is flexible for end users without requiring IT in the middle? You start with the bare input, which is: data + report logic:

1. Specify the common columns that you want in your output tables (i.e. columns other than the first). In your example, that would be order_count, gmv, net_gmv

2. Separately, specify the tables that you want to generate, where each table spec consists of:

- the bucket logic (in your example, that would be a formula representing "age broken out in buckets of 10")

- optional other characteristics such as whether the data should be filtered before going into the table, which column the table should be sorted on, whether to limit the table output to the "top [10]" rows, etc etc

3. Third, run your data, plus the above spec, through some software that will generate your report for you

As for part 3, my company has recently launched a free platform for doing all of the above in a collaborative and secure manner. Please reach out if you'd like more info on this. Of course, you can do it yourself or have your IT do it-- but be aware it is not as easy as it sounds when you start having to deal with real-world practicalities like schema variability and scalability. And anyway, why bother if you can now do it all for free?
> Well you see, having to show ID to vote is considered racist in the US.

This is not the argument people are making, so I hope you aren’t making it intentionally. No one is saying that requiring voting id is inherently racist.

The argument is that requiring voting id without a commensurate effort to make sure everyone has voter id ends up disproportionately affecting minorities. These efforts are subsequently dubbed racist by political opponents because the people implementing them know this to be true and do it anyway, because they prefer the outcome that minorities are disenfranchised.

Republicans have been found in court to play these tricks with “surgical precision”, to make sure the rules they come up with impact minorities more than whites.

Another example is closing polling places so that it takes 8 hours to vote in black precincts whereas it takes 8 minutes to vote in white precincts. Yes, the act of closing a polling place is not an overtly racist thing to do. But the way in which it’s done and the actual impact make clear it is done with the intent of disenfranchising minorities.

I don't think you are correct. Parents not caring is probably one of the biggest issues.

My grandmother would call a student's parents on their home and work numbers multiple times over multiple weeks. She would even provide her home number and say they could call anytime, day or night.

Do you think she frequently got calls back? If you can't even take 20 minutes to call your kid's teacher then you don't care about getting your kid out of an area with bad policing and justice system, racism and bad jobs.
I had Goldbelly ship me a brisket from a BBQ place in Texas and I felt like it traveled well. It shipped frozen, and they provided instructions on thawing and reheating, and it really turned out to be delicious. Not quite as good as fresh from the smoker in Texas, but better than brisket I can get in my area.
