I have a bunch of 2d games I use in programmable learning environments. This is the commit that did a lot of the shifting from 3 to 3.0.0-RC1

https://github.com/wbillingsley/lavamaze/commit/0d9aca52e8e8...

A lot of it was just trivia like "it's required to put parentheses around lambda function parameters now", and "if the function is declared with an empty arg list () rather than no arg list, you have to call it with an empty arg list rather than no arg list".

If I recall, there's a compiler plugin they put out that could automatically make many of those changes, but I found it took little enough time just to do them manually that investigating the plugin wasn't necessary.

An example of one of the programmable games in action:

I have to suspect that the rise of obesity has something to do with something I'd describe as "3 kinds of appetite":

- one for taste (dopamine)

- one for energy (calories from carbs / fats)

- one for the resources that actually are required to build cells etc.

And basically you can satisfy the first two as much as you want but if you're eating low nutrient density food, your body will just make you eat enough of it until it's gotten what it takes to live. Of course this is a massive massive oversimplification.. but it does produce as an implication the hardly-disputed rule of thumb "eat nutrient dense food that is not excessively fatty/sugary/addictive"

Anecdata, but, I've also witnessed the reverse thing happen on college campuses where the food is overall pretty healthy, with rare treats - that people can lose weight. Goes without saying that it also depends on stress. And people tend to be really really stressed (by default and not exception) these days for whatever reason.
> How does your stance make sense at all? In what market does increasing supply not lead to decreasing prices?

It’s super basic economics unless you control 100% of the market.

An oil provider that doubles their output from 1% of the market to 2% will only put a slight downward pressure on the price while doubling their high margin income.

The winning move is always to increase production.

> without listening to the earning calls where they literally state what I am telling you

I’m telling you that you don’t understand what they are saying. If they are unwilling to build it’s because the future of the oil is uncertain, not because the margins are high right now. The margins being high is a great reason to expand drilling even into hard to extract areas.
Sarcasm or really? Can't tell from pure writing.
> an additional tax on high fructose corn syrup

If memory serves, HFCS is effectively subsidized by the fact that corn is subsidized.

On the other hand, there are huge price supports for the domestic sugar industry, via import tariffs on foreign sugar.

I'm sorry, I should have clarified that my criticism was that these sorts of tools often get recommended as a security tool that can protect you from malware/spyware. There are still valid use cases for it like what TripMode for Mac is marketed towards.

Also if you're using it to prevent an app not to phone home, you still have to trust it not to do anything more nefarious than that, or simply spawn a program like curl (which you've probably allowed) to phone home for it.
He's referring to a painting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images

I'm not art critic enough to know even half of what's been written about the meaning of this painting, but I know that it's considered significant, and I immediately recognized the reference.

Can't speak for him, but I guess the reason for including it may have been as an example of a work that was decidedly not Popular but (after much discussion) very much Art.

The other thing it could be used for is as a reminder to not mistake the map for the territory, but I don't see that fitting into this discussion so it's probably not that.
No we can’t, that’s the point.

> Today, you're never more than 100 miles from a DC fast charger ...

As long as your road trip travels from fast charger to fast charger 100 mile separations aren't a problem. But in my state (TX) there are lots of places where the 100 miles to a fast charger are not in the direction I want to travel. I don't want to backtrack even 30 miles south to the a charger in the wrong direction just to recharge so that I can drive the 30 miles north to be back where I started on the trip.
I feel like this is bordering a bit pendantic even if it's techincally correct. I think most laymen would understand fossilized as rock, hard material even if that's incorrect.
It's an optional typechecking tool. Speaking as an ML researcher who has authored my fair share of linear algebra bugs due to broadcasting, being able to optionally typecheck specific critical regions of the codebase would be a killer feature.

Hey, at least they didn’t pee on his rug.
The mirror is difficult to look in to sometimes.
I used contactless for a $150 purchase this weekend, and it seemed so strange. The shop was clearly trying to do the modern commerce setup, with tablets running some sort of Square product and not getting up to go to a central till to pay.

I work in fintech, and have a lot of contact with UK developers who mention "the contactless limits are creeping up from GBP30 to GBP100". This in a country which is way more familiar with modern card tech. Meanwhile, my American bank, which probably gets 250 calls a day asking "why does my card have a Wi-Fi logo on it?" will seemingly let me unload my entire account with a tap.
Personal Injury Proceedings Act 2002 QLD (PIPA)
Interesting name for a new blog.

And, the author's apparently had accuracy issues before: https://www.bmj.com/content/355/bmj.i6061
Personal injury law firms in Queensland need to comply with specific legislation that outlines specific regulations for resolving injury claims. Commonly called PIPA, the laws within this Act regulate how personal injury lawyers can market their business and how injury claims are managed.
I don't know exactly what is wrong with Spotify, but years ago, I subscribed to Pandora, and it made all sorts of suggestions based on what I liked that revealed great music to me.

But when I wanted something specific, it often didn't have it, so I switched to Spotify because it seemed to have a much larger catalog.

Unfortunately, the recommendations were no good, so I just listened to the same stuff I had played on Pandora, plus specific things that I found elsewhere.

Then I quit paying for it because I didn't feel like I was getting a lot of value.

I have no idea whether either is any good these days, but I would firmly classify Pandora's recommendation engine as highly useful back in the day, and Spotify's as...not.
To be fair, low-carb and keto diets are not the same thing.
Touché! I have to admit I assumed there was some level of data modeling/intelligence happening under the hood, but after reading the comments I now realize I was mistaken. I suppose a more accurate title would be “a robot drew my picture”
A big part of the reason why we have an epidemic of obesity is because it's cheaper (and easier) to eat junk food than to eat healthy.

Here in the Bay Area, I can buy a McDonalds value menu hamburger and a soda for $2, or I can buy a healthy salad at SweetGreen/Panera/Mendocino for $15-20.

If healthy food was on a level playing field, many people would choose to eat healthier.

(Now, this doesn't address the problem about rising food costs, and the macroeconomic implications hare are beyond my expertise... but surely forcing those with a low income to have to eat junk food isn't what we want as a society.)

https://www.thoughtco.com/fossilized-or-petrified-1438948#:~....

What's the difference between fossilized and petrified? It can be a little confusing. A fossil is any evidence of life that has been preserved in rock. Fossils include not just organisms themselves, but also the burrows, marks, and footprints they left behind. Fossilization is the name for a number of processes that produce fossils. One of those processes is mineral replacement. This is common in sedimentary and some metamorphic rocks, where a mineral grain may be replaced by a material with a different composition, but still preserving the original shape.

What Makes It Petrified?

When a fossil organism is subjected to mineral replacement, it is said to be petrified. For example, petrified wood may be replaced with chalcedony, or shells replaced with pyrite. This means that out of all fossils, only the creature itself could be fossilized by petrification.

And not all fossil organisms are petrified. Some are preserved as carbonized films, or preserved unchanged like recent fossil shells, or fixed in amber like fossil insects.
You’ve missed the point of the article, which is that optimising for code point indexing is silly. The author is well aware of all the properties you speak of, but they’re seldom things that end-developers should be touching directly, and none of them benefit from indexing by code point offset.
The lake which the Bellagio fountains are part of is filled from a private well on the property. It does not pull from the mountain aquifers or from Lake Mead, but from a shallow and rather polluted aquifer underneath the Strip. That aquifer is primarily replenished from ground infiltration; Vegas does get rain, just not a lot of it, and there is still some irrigation which filters into the shallow aquifer. Because it's irrigation and turf runoff, and so shallow that there hasn't been sufficient filtering by soil layers, this aquifer is "salty" (various salts, not just NaCl) and not potable water. It is trapped by clay layers in the soil and does not refill the deeper aquifers or Lake Mead. So they are using that lower-quality groundwater for nonpotable use in the Bellagio lake and fountains.

The shallow aquifer is replenished at a sustainable rate, it's just not the high-quality mountain water in the deep aquifer. In fact, replenishment of the shallow aquifer has INCREASED with development - ironically for a desert, the water table would be high enough in parts of Las Vegas to require sump pumps if it wasn't for the shallow-aquifer wells that feed the fountains and golf courses. There is a very limited number, accounted for in existing water rights, of these intensive nonpotable water uses that the Las Vegas Valley can support, but those few play an important role in the overall water cycle.
> Yes it does. In trying to deny that a particular pessimistic view of the future has anything to do with liberalism, you have presented what amounts to a U.S. progressive liberal view of the world's problems. People on the right see things differently.

That's simply not true. The left and the right see the same decay. The only difference is the causes they attribute to that decay, not the facts.

Literally, what was Trump's platform? Let's return to the 1960s-1990s era because the country/world used to work back then.

Nothing about housing not being affordable anymore has anything to do with have left or right wing politics. About college being unaffordable. About healthcare and childcare costs skyrocketing to absurd levels. It's not a partisan issue, it's an economic reality that people explain with their partisan views.

Nothing about corruption being out of control has anything to do about being on the left or on the right. The right believes that Clinton and Biden are extremely corrupt, to such an extreme that would be unimaginable 20 years ago. The left believes that Trump is extremely corrupt, to a similar level.

Both the left and the right are recognizing and responding to the same economic, social, and environmental decay. There's no optimistic outcome present on either side.

If someone on the right were to produce my list, it would be the same, except that they would swap out some of the dark actions of the right, with dark actions of the left.
I'm not aware of any modern BMW-made automatic transmissions, BMW has been using ZF transmissions in all of their modern automatic cars that I know of. You'll find a ZF8HP in most of BMW's modern vehicles, as well as many Chrysler and a few Volkswagen vehicles [1]. BMW, Chrysler (including subsidiaries, especially Jeep), and Volkswagen (including subsidiaries, especially Audi) all have quite different shifters [2] [3] [4], but they share transmission families in many vehicles.

The person you are replying to refers to "high resolution monitors", which probably means a lot higher than 1920.

Zero corporate adoption, for sure. Many projects switched to use GPLv3 and friends, but most corporations will not put one red cent into them. Thus, products are being shipped with the last version that used GPLv2, including packages ranging from bash 4 to Qt 5.6. Having worked on such projects, I can attest that the new status quo is absolutely horrible.
Are you a naïve realist?
Looks good metric than how it widespread.
I read this via RSS and came here to comment, only to find that the article was flagged. Did the critical examination of classic liberal values and current political trends hit too close to home? Most of the analysis seemed spot-on.

Also, it made me feel better about not watching Discovery or Picard.
Do you end up having a system that basically just observes the state of the string (in code points) before and after a user operation occurs? So for example, say a document consists of code points (made up, obviously):

1 2 3 4 5 6

This is represented in whatever platform encoding is used, but you can convert to UCS-4 for (space-wasting) simplicity, or whatever make the most sense. Then the user makes an edit, and suddenly the document looks like:

1 2 3 8 9 4 5 6

So you can say "ok, the user inserted something into the middle of the string, and we trust that the platform knows correctly that there is some sort of boundary between 3 and 4 such that an insert there is legal, and that they put something in between there, and that thing is "8 9", which might be two graphemes, or one, who knows, doesn't matter.

Is that what you're talking about here?

I guess I still don't completely understand how this works in a cross-platform way, though. If grapheme clustering rules change all the time, and the above was done on Windows 11, and then someone views it on an 8-year-old Android phone, can we have confidence that it will be rendered the same? Is it even possible to make that work properly?
the big difference in home schooling is that you are prepared for such, and usually have a home tutor (which might be your parents, but sometimes it's a professional).

I think remote learning only works for tertiary education, not early to mid childhood education (like primary to high school).

I just finished a three month vacation between jobs and I agree. Getting (what felt like) so far away from my career, I really got to interrogate my dreams, goals, and plans.

I’m still battling with some tough realizations from this time, but I am glad I had the opportunity to do some self exploration.

Even though it’s not in my contract, I am going to negotiate a one month sabbatical every three or five years where ever I am working.
At least where I worked, the HTTPS proxy blocked most downloads. Most software these days can install fine for a local user. It's more a matter of getting the installer. But, it was a pretty easy process for non-GPL3 open-source software: fill out a web form with the URL for the installer/source tarball and a URL for the license, wait a few hours, and the installer has been virus scanned and in available in the internal mirror repository of installers.
Organic food itself is a fraud as it doesn't actually mean anything. If anything they should just ban the label entirely.
Let’s be blunt, when people complain about lack of a diversity of thought/opinion, it’s almost always a complaint that they can’t be a bigot. Of course nobody says that so directly- they use dog whistles so that people who are being attacked know to leave while the bigots retain a veinier of civility so they can radicalize others by saying “look how hostile and irrational that group got over my innocuous sounding statement.”

Maybe you think spaces would be better if we allowed unmoderated bigotry in the name of free speech, but a practical consequence is that when the bigots move in, the people that they are targeting go away. The end result isn’t “diversity of thought” and it was never intended to be- it just ends up being one more space where people get bullied into leaving.

> If I recall, there's a compiler plugin they put out that could automatically make many of those changes

Actually, there are compiler options to rewrite the sources to/from scala3, I have tried this in more complex projects and it worked nicely (see https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/guides/migration/tooling-...)

This is the link to the plugin you mentioned which is supposed to avoid the manual syntax updates but I haven't had the need to try it, like you said, most of the times the changes are trivial enough (https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/guides/migration/scala3-m...).

It makes no difference. Goods aren’t produced in a vacuum, and a tax on one is eventually a tax on the other because prices changes are transitive.

You can set the stage for the next level so to speak in either glass blowing or some video game. Not really following your argument.

Blowing glass is a hobby. Today's multi-user video games are a competition.

That's the real difference.

Unless you're exceptional, no one cares about either one. So probably best to do whatever makes you happy.
I find it funny to think of the old school Atlantic reader who doesn’t have an email account and is a member the Princeton Class of 1958 seeing “so smol” and wondering what it means.

For me, type annotations has been the single biggest ergonomics improvement to come to python. It's a very simple type system compared to many other languages (definitely simpler than rust, haskell, scala, java, and c++, I find it easier than go's generics but I am not practiced). I don't see how they add complexity to the language. In fact I find it limiting if anything.

Walrus is...fine. I don't use it much, but I defo see how it's one more thing.

Python's biggest complexity, imho, is its almost unrivaled dynamicism. There's just too many degrees of freedom at times.

The import system continues to be a nuclear footgun. I consider myself a python expert with 15 years under my belt and today I was still fighting with imports in a pytest suite. Like wtf.
The last one came out just two years before this article, though the original trilogy ended nine years before that.
I never liked Mathias’s description there. A better description is that JavaScript uses unvalidated UTF-16, with UTF-16 code unit indexing and access in most places. (Notwithstanding this, new functionality in the language tends to use Unicode scalar values where possible, e.g. string iterator decodes valid surrogate pairs.)

I wish the article was framed in terms of what the author really wants instead of burying it. The author is framing the issue as something mostly non-political, simply acknowledging the existing body of research, but actually wants something very political which is changing the USDA guidelines (which have far reaching effects) to recommend low-carb as essentially the go to default diet. So while the aim is noble the author doesn’t really care about the science except as a useful tool to drive a particular political outcome. And same with the accusation of ignoring science except as a way to make the board look bad because the author would clearly not be satisfied with “we each read in full literally every paper on the subject of low-carb diets but as a group remain unconvinced in its merits for a general recommendation.”

tl;dr the author is probably right about low-carb diets but made sure to frame it in such a way that makes enemies out of the people with actual power who now can’t actually do what she wants without making themselves look uneducated. Shame has never made people dig their heels in /j
I thought the author's use of "liberalism" was exactly correct. Maybe the issue for you is that "liberalism" has evolved into something more akin to communism over the past few decades. Freedom of speech is dead. Racism is back. Civil rights are under threat by some perceived "right to not be offended", and the US Government is becoming the very thing that the founders were trying to prevent.
I think they want Python to fit into every niche, like C++, which means a lot of knobs to turn
