Microsoft was involved in a number of high profile court cases:

- The one over internet explorer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor...

- Sun vs Microsoft over the attempt to "embrace and extinguish" the Java virtual machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Java_Virtual_Machine

I would argue that that second court case was more significant, as it was not a fact that standards were something that could be upheld in court.

Also the JDK has had more of a lasting impact on the industry, at least it exists longer than both netscape navigator and internet explorer.

Thank you. I missed that post, did a search for this url, and then submitted it.

The conversation on that previous post did answer my questions and I learned a lot more.
There’s some value to people that don’t refresh the front page 10 times a day. I’ve only ever seen the language mentioned in passing and saw the shiny website, but not that it’s all utterly bs. Also as the author said apparently there’s been claims of improvement since the last debunking post, and it seems like it’s still vapourware.

I have no horse in the race, and having never seen the controversy, it does seem suspicious that the language author is making money off of claims that simply aren’t true. The amount of stars on GitHub compared to actual activity on comparable repos does indicate that the marketing is working though, the claims being made are taken at face value, not the WIPs that they actually are.

I too can dream of a perfect language, but it doesn’t mean I should put up a website claiming that I’ve actually made it and it’s real.
You and Sassoon are talking about different things. She is referring to angle of grip and how it influences style of writing. You are referring to tenseness of grip. Sassoon also deals with that issue in other writing. She works as a physical therapist with people who get RSI from their writing style.

The letter forms of cursive evolved when people were writing with quill or dip pens, and rely on stroke forms that are facilitated by the natural grip of using a quill/dip pen. Ballpoint pens require a more upright angle, a firmer grip, and more emphasis on axial rather than lateral force. Ballpoints encourage stroke forms that conflict with traditional letter shapes. Fountain pens, on the other hand, are properly held more like a dip pen. That is why people experience an improvement in their handwriting when they switch from ballpoint to fountain pen.

> So you end up with a system that most people won't touch, and only appeals to users who need to make shady transactions.

It can also appeal to applications where payers and payees have some sort of social capital at stake. Patreon is the perfect example for that. If Patreon could offer the possibility of making payments via crypto with reduced fees, don't you think that people would do it?

It also can appeal for the use cases where the value of the transaction is too low for payers to worry about the "insurance" provided by the credit card networks, but that merchants need to be protected. E.g, selling digital goods online. Imagine you want to sell a book online and charge $2. With crypto would be easy. With a credit card, not so much.

Finally, it also would make sense for transactions where people would rather risk losing the money over their privacy. E.g, if Ashley Madison had a crypto option, how many of its users would use it just to be sure that their names would never end up on a list?

"A pure function is one without any side-effects."

https://ocaml.org/docs/functional-programming

"V functions are pure by default, meaning that their return values are a function of their arguments only, and their evaluation has no side effects (besides I/O)."

https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md#pure-func...

It sure sounds to me like V is trying to claim that functions can be pure while still performing I/O.
Also consider giving Sentinel-1 a look, if you haven't already. C-band synthetic aperture radar, about 20 m ground resolution in its land imaging mode. Radar imagery works really well for water detection, and since it penetrates clouds it works all-weather day-or-night.

Nominal revisit is about every 2 days at the mid latitudes, although one of the two spacecraft failed so it's currently about every 4 days until ESA can launch a replacement.

The Alaska Satellite Facility (a NASA center) provides a graphical search tool and APIs for accessing Sentinel-1 data, as well as a bunch of tutorials.

The most curious errors I got when testing a Unicode-enabled lexer were not from the lexer itself.

These are valid C-style identifiers if you extend those rules to Unicode, and editors have no problem with them:

fish_3

рыбы_3

So are these, despite the combination of left-to-right and right-to-left characters:

سمك_٣ (Eastern Arabic numeral for three, note how it appears to come first to an LTR reader.)

سمك_3 (Western Arabic numeral for three)

Problem is, editors really have trouble dealing with mixed-direction words like this. The caret stops pointing to the correct part of the word, the home and end keys become useless, etc. It's an odd situation where the lexer can handle these edge cases well but I cannot think of how you'd actually get them into the compiler.

Yes, money is a technology which allows you to determine the exchange rate of commodities, but money itself is also a commodity and is also subject to the forces of supply and demand. Big increases in the supply of money cause it to decline in value. If one coin is worth 15 chickens now, one coin is only worth 13 chickens in <12 months.

Savings are necessary for a rainy day. Without adequate savings, you are one natural (or man-made) disaster away from starving. It is absolutely not a "waste of human output," to keep some aside, but is being responsible for oneself. Saving is not possible under high inflation, as the savings lose purchasing power too rapidly. Someone who wishes to save is forced to make risky investments just to maintain the purchasing power of what they previously laboured for.

… because in that case there's nothing stopping the slaves from leaving

Obviously this is false and you can find examples of people being enslaved in countries where it is outlawed. There are plenty of examples of an enslaved person being prevented from escaping even in the presence of laws prohibiting slavery. It’s as if you don’t understand human behavior.

You have a fanciful notion of slavery and what it entails. In another thread you bring up cases where the enslaved had it “good” and act as if this is normative in such circumstances. I am thankful views such are yours are no longer acceptable to most people. Within in your views on this topic one will not find common sense or decency.

That you find it worth your time to try to convince people of the benefits of slavery says much about you and nothing about slavery.

> Those who arrive at Thekla can see little of the city, beyond the plank fences, the sackcloth screens, the scaffoldings, the metal armatures, the wooden catwalks hanging from ropes or supported by sawhorses, the ladders, the trestles. If you ask, "Why is Thekla's construction taking such a long time?" the inhabitants continue hoisting sacks, lowering leaded strings, moving long brushes up and down, as they answer, "So that its destruction cannot begin." And if asked whether they fear that, once the scaffoldings are removed, the city may begin to crumble and fall to pieces, they add hastily, in a whisper, "Not only the city."

That's neat - makes me think of 2D light-cones.

The author doesn't mention it, so I'm not sure if he noticed - but this method is trivially extensible to weighted Voronoi graphs.

All you need to do is change the gradients of the cone such that d(radius)/d(z) = weight (and that makes things significantly easier when you need to deal with curved inter-cell boundaries).

This potentially could be used to generate 3D voxels, but you'd need depth buffer support in 4 dimensions.

Unfortunately, the design team isn’t the only thing afflicting Apple’s products. macOS crashes, previously extremely rare are no a weekly event for me. On Apple gear. My iPhone 8 Plus only intermittently generates notifications from colleagues while at work. Flaky Wi-Fi. Autocorrect has learned too much and instead of correcting typos natural to an onscreen keyboard, now materially changes sentences on the fly, respelling correctly-spelled words, apparently based upon some engineer’s idea of ML Nirvana and contextual language processing. Hey MF I don’t write _your_ way. Lock Screen appears abruptly during use and is unlockable, requiring a reboot. It’s almost like the “the new windows will fix all the crashes” (3.1/95/98bXP) guys have set up shop at Apple and are perpetrating Jobs’ feared “Bozo Explosion”. Ironically, Windows on my aging MBP is my most stable compute experience on the daily now. Well, except for the Linux servers and their mult-year uptimes.
So you're telling that they can apply ETC to a person reporting paranoid schizophrenia symptoms? Who on earth with some of critical thinking remaining would volouturaly give up for such a procedure?
There's a good argument to be made about the 1970 Legislative Reorganization Act as being one of the first places to look. Up until then, Congress voted on a secret ballot, and the congressional votes were not made public - so lobbying had a much higher hurdle to clear (since the lobbyists could not guarantee a return on their investment by verifying that the Congressperson kept their end of the bargain).

"But what about AWS' NAT Instance AMI?"

The official AWS supported NAT Instance AMI hasn't been updates since 2018, is still running Amazon Linux 1 which is now EOL, and has no ARM support, meaning it can't be deployed on EC2's most cost effective instance types. fck-nat.

Hi Joe! Never is a strong word. Can I ask you to make an exception and still watch the video? They are very short, a minute or two at the most, straight-to-the-point kind of the video.

In Canada (or maybe just Ontario?) we have price per unit weight. Like “$0.38 per 100 grams”

It’s a required part of a price label in grocery stores.

I suspect this exists elsewhere too. It works fine enough. I don’t see a need for anything further. It’s really simple and anyone who needs simpler probably won’t benefit from simpler anyways.
I read somewhere, "The length of a variable name should be proportional to the size of its scope".

Usually I don't have long loop bodies, so if the loop body fits in 24 lines, `i` is perfect for the index.

If I'm locking a mutex, doing something, and quickly unlocking it, `l` for the lock guard is fine.

But if it won't fit on screen, it needs a longer name.

And if there's something like a top-level `App` struct, I just call it `a` because its scope is really just `main`, even though its _lifetime_ may be the entire process.

> The wikipedia article you linked...

It is YOUR wiki link, but with '#Opposition' at the end to move directly to that section of the article...

Edit to add:

> This statement is highly misleading.

Kinda like the post before that, you said:

>>> 69% of people polled in washington state supported taxing fossil fuel companies.

and

>>> but it seems doubtful that 26% of people were for "taxing fossil fuel companies" but were against "pollution fees on sources of greenhouse gas pollutants ".

The whole reason I read through that wiki You linked, was because this did not seem like the same thing, and a lot of people with only a quick reading (such as myself) who this issue is not their main focus is only going to see as loosely related, if that - If Im the 69% that wants to tax fossil fuels, and the ballet says taxes on "greenhouse gas" - Im not going to care or be very happy with the measure, because I agreed I want to tax "fossil fuels"

As for:

>> Except that the 2018 ballot measure wasn't the first time Washington tried instituting a carbon tax. They tried 2 years before (not a mid-term year) and that failed even harder, 41% to 59%.

I was responding to your post and that wasn't included - and it could just mean that as the years progress, people are getting more concerned..who knows

This is a common confusion. Both OP and GP are talking about two different simplex methods. Simplex refers to two algorithms: [1] Simplex method for solving LPs, initially proposed by George Dantzig. [2] Nelder-Mead Simplex method, which is a derivative-free algorithm for nonlinear functions.

The article refers to [1] whereas the GP probably referred to [2]. Nelder-Mead simplex only requires function evaluations, which makes it amenable to situations where the derivative evaluations are impossible or the function evaluations are expensive (like a simulation).

BFGS approximates the Hessian (2nd order derivative) and will generally outperform Nelder Mead unless derivatives are not available or if the terrain has lots of local optima or saddle points.

> This is not even true.

It is absolutely true. The CLI-first `dotnet watch` was pretty much done (I was using it in preview for months beforehand), and it was cut to promote hot reload as a Visual Studio feature.

Source: I'm the person who raised the initial GitHub issue about the dotnet watch change, and I talked to multiple Developer Division employees off the record. It was a deeply unpopular move that came from the top (Julia Liuson).
> exchanging objects over sockets, rest, files, etc. Whenever the object definition changes in another piece of the software stack the statically typed parts will crash upon receiving the updated objects, even if it's just one new param added that would've been fine otherwise if dynamically typed

Anecdotally, this is not true for C++ using JSON or msgpack, since those are self-describing formats where extra fields are safe to ignore.

And it's not even true for Rust using serde, which writes the serializing / de-serializing code for you. serde_json will also ignore unknown fields when parsing, and you can preserve the original object as a `serde_json::Value` in case you want to pass unknown fields downstream as opaques.

Protocol buffers and Flat Buffers also have solutions to this, and all 4 of these formats are pretty popular in both static and dynamic languages.

Even if you write a custom TLV format, this is not that hard to deal with.

Was this common in the static code you worked with? You weren't just casting objects to `char *` and doing a `memcpy`, I hope?
A lot of American buildings today are overfit for their initial purpose and hard to remodel / adapt later. In the past most buildings were simple rectangles with basements or pier and beam foundations and simple roofs which all help make a building easy to reconfigure. Today’s buildings are fast-fashion, and look and feel quite dated after 20-30 years.

Ironically this is partially explained by the increasing stringency of zoning and building codes which leads to the increasing professionalization of building design. It used to be much more common for a person to basically just build a brick box on their own or with a little bit of contractor help. Professional designers need to do “design” to build their portfolio and attract business.

I mean that's kinda what I was saying in that the aesthetics are dated, but I think the aesthetics chosen are distinct from the concept of 'skeuomorphism', the aesthetics of a particular implementation can be dated, but the idea of skeuomorphic design might not be.
