Even if we believe that Shirley Williams was actually told by Blair that this happened, that still wouldn't mean Bush said it. Not least because Blair may have intended it as a joke, just as Williams may have.

This is still useful if our interest is "When was this said?" because we know Shirley Williams talks about it, so e.g. if some future historian is wondering about a claim Trump said this to Johnson, they've got this record that well, this particular "American Presidents are idiots" quote certainly pre-dates that.

There a lot of interesting turns of phrase where that is primarily what we care about - did Franklin say that stuff about hanging together or hanging separately? Perhaps not. This play on words does however seem to originate in that period, you won't find it much earlier than the American Revolution, while by the 19th century it's commonplace.
Larger enums to represent and discriminate. Null is just syntax sugar for the one-kind of absence case, and multiple-null-likes eliminates all benefits of that syntax sugar, so you might as well revert to a real discriminator.

Ideally you can force the use of the discriminator… but that depends on your type system
Fair enough, most new cars /should/ need little maintenance. On a 10 year time span the number of things that can (and likely will) need maintenance can only be greater on an ICE engine. Ignition systems, emission systems, so many more moving and friction parts on an ICE vehicle.
- High memory usage

- Several patterns introduces a lot of boiler code.

- It's harder to visualize a OO codebase than a pure FP codebase like Haskell.

- Frameworks like Spring / Jakarta are overly complex.

But I don't mind OO, it's just that after using Haskell and Python, it just feels a little messy.
In this particular case the corporations in question - banks - would love to see the problem solved too. They don't want to make fraudulent loans in other people's names.

The problem is that America's government does not provide a strong form of identity. In fact, strong identity is culturally resisted: civil libertarians[0] have been adamant that America should not have national ID cards of any kind. Great, except that this now makes fraud a lot easier.

Today, if you are a bank you don't actually have any good options to verify the identity of a new customer. Names are quite common, people move all the time, phone numbers change and can get stolen, SSNs were specifically designed to be easily forgeable[1], most Americans do not have passports, not everyone has a US birth certificate, not everyone can get a driver's license, the ID-only cards you can get are intentionally designed to be a pain for the above two categories, etc.

[0] This is also one of the few times where I don't have to distinguish between left- and right-wing libertarians either.

[1] If you were born before 2011 you can obtain valid SSNs by incrementing or decrementing the last four digits of your own. You will get the SSN of someone else who was born in the same hospital as you. The first five digits are just a function of the state the SSN was issued in and when you were born. There is no check digit, they only started randomly issuing numbers in 2011, and even then it does not matter because compromised SSNs are never reissued unless you are an FBI informant.
You gave your review, and I gave mine. We just have different taste. I wasn't saying you have to like it, but you ended your comment with a statement: "[without nostalgia] it's pretty meh. Same with Blade Runner." that I disagree with. We're allowed to disagree; as you said, it's subjective.

Movies like Blade Runner sometimes don't appeal to mainstream audiences. Both BR movies have slow pacing, and often have long shots without dialog. Interstellar is similar in many ways.

Avatar is a good movie. Sure, the plot is simple, but it's a groundbreaking film nonetheless. And still quite enjoyable.

Your job is to insulate your team from the normal course of business (customer negotiating) so that they don't feel like it's "insanely disrespectful." Your job is to process it unemotionally and handle it unemotionally. Let the customer say whatever the customer is going to say and then respond with a boilerplate like "We've considered these possibilities and appreciate the input but we are not flexible on our original estimate."
These sort of things should have more transparent and correct naming. Corruption is high as can be in the west too. It’s just mostly lobbying so the average person doesn’t have safety concerns. Something like stability, comfort, and safety concerns makes much more sense. Or as quoted, less low level corruption works too.

The Democracy Index being done by The Economist and being used as a respectable index to look at is pretty funny, but in line with the status quo.

How many low end countries in these indexes have been used and abused by the western countries liberal/conservative political regimes The Economist, its ownership, and many of its readers love? Sadly, dozens upon dozens upon dozens.

Manual work goes into each copy, manual artistry less so.

So it's true that I should classify batches of 100+ and mass production quite differently. Along with pure one-offs and batches under five. But my original point still applies. I think these different quantities should be treated quite differently in terms of how art can be very expensive.

In your other comment you said: Finally, quantity is irrelevant to whether something is classified as art. My point was that the fact that it was created at all is meaningful and valuable.

It's art, very good art, but it's also far short of 150 artistically different watches. Almost everything is art at some level, but the amount that the artistry should affect price depends on production quantities and methods. Most of the artistry here is one piece.

This is provably false.

Go to any news site you like. Search for "hero cop". You will find endless stories.

That feels not stretched but incorrect (and coming as an outsider to the whole Reddit thing):

In your example, PRODUCT is bad or lacking (past expiry, not restocking, etc). With Reddit, PRODUCT is still good, plentiful, and arguably unique. It is the shopping experience that is lacking.

As well, in your example, only the poor-experience method to obtain the product exists. I believe overall message is that good old way STILL exists to obtain good product; and people are indicating they aren't sure even the good product will entice them once new shopping experience is the only way... but it isn't currently.

What it comes down to is whether one will make a principled stand (I want your product, but I do not like your attitude, so I'll leave) or pragmatic approach (I am still getting what I need out of this, I reserve the right to change my mind).

Trading costs are high with options since they are not buy-and-hold investments. Retail investors should generally avoid them. Options market makers such as Citadel and Susquehanna are quite profitable. Their profits are retail investors losses.

The same goes for electronics. I've always wanted to build a minimal computer from scratch or discrete components, even if from a kit. But I know once I do this, it'll end up being a huge rabbit hole. It sounds fun, but so does playing Factorio again. Maybe once I retire. :)

macOS, iTerm, Menlo

Menlo isn't the perfect font, but it's good enough and I wasted way too much time trying to find the perfect font. So to force myself from fiddling with fonts, I just stick with Menlo (This is also the same reason why I prefer macOS over Linux for my OS: forces me to fiddle less with customization because it has less).

JetBrains Mono is quite nice as well. I don't always switch it off when using JetBrains products.

You are right that it’s often a problem of a mismatch between your client expectations and what you are delivering but that’s not disrespectful and will probably not be sorted out with a benchmark.

From my experience, 90% of the time these mismatches come from a lack of or a flawed communication. The solution is to sit down with your customers, ask questions to understand why they feel what they feel and specifically address that. I think that in general people working in software rarely spend enough time talking with their clients.

It’s the same with managers actually. If there is a persistent mismatch between what you think you should be doing and what your manager thinks you should be doing you are not talking with your manager enough.
funny that you say that:

You can define monadic interfaces for lists because lists are monads.

It would therefore be correct (but slightly pedantic) to talk about "the list monad".

> as you can with (probably all) parametric data types?

Actually, you can't. For instance, if you define a predicate type:

`data Predicate a = Predicate (a -> Bool)`

It is not a monad, it's not even a functor. (If you're interested in what it is you can look into contravariant functors).

That's because they have 2 accounts a russian and a global english one.

Russian https://www.youtube.com/c/MosfilmRuOfficial

Global https://www.youtube.com/c/Mosfilm_eng

Usually both channels have subtitles but generally the global one is burnt-in while the russian one is selectable from the Youtube interface. Also the russian channel has much much more uploads.

And movies differ too to some extent. For example, Solaris is a single title in the global english channel (restored vesion) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8ZhQPaw4rE

Whereas it's 2 part title as it was originally back then (2 reels)

With this legalization I would IP ban the UK, then grow the service and look into opening up for the UK when my service was big and the lawyers didn't matter.
Mostly rose-colored glasses nostalgia probably. Being able to rent a movie whenever[0] you wanted to and watch it at home was extremely transformative in a way that someone who grew up with streaming (not you I realize) would find difficult to appreciate. A lot of movies weren't even purchasable as a practical matter (priced to rent) at the time.

Sentencing has always had unprovable stuff considered. Your friends and family will come in to tell what a wonderful person you are, none of it verifiable and often entirely bullshit.
There is no central exchange for FX so no "official spot price". I'm not clear what time is used to set the FX rate when you swipe a credit card. If you use a credit card it'll depend on the bank, and different banks will have different timing. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/credit-cards/currency-exc... . That site looks like the ISK example isn't right, but does have other hints and says ask your issuer.

They auction it off so it's not like they are going to dump it all on an exchange or something. In the past it hasn't really effected much.
See, that's not how I remember the 90's. I remember getting offered floppy disks with every bit of software out there. Their overly restrictive copy protection often consisted of "what's the 5th word on the 10th page of the manual" or similar.

The prices were not really outlandish, though they were representative of catering to a new and niche market. It's just that the barrier to copying was so low and distribution was so easy and risk free.

Basically, it was the equivalent of a physical store with no employees, locks, or security systems. Thus everyone went in and got what they wanted without putting money in the "honor box".
Don't fall into this trap, VCs love to say this but they are looking for a billion dollar company. If you are not a millionaire this not applicable to you. If a feature can make your net worth 50M it's very much worth it. Heck it's worth it if it can make you 1M richer. Going from $ to $$$$$ is a big jump in stability and quality of life.
Unfortunately that's not quite the same thing as a standard in the sense that is meant here. A 'standard' is a written document that explains how the language should work. A standard that just says "the compiler is correct if it compiles code the way that rustc 1.xy does" is technically unambiguous in that it provides a procedure by which a compiler author can check their work, but leaves quite a bit on the table and is probably the wrong goal to aim at in the long term, even if it enables forward progress for now. (For example, we know rustc contains bugs; do we want gcc-rust to include all the bugs, or should it differ from rustc in that respect? Which behaviors are bugs, which are undesired but accepted quirks of the language, and which are intentional? For that matter, it's unreasonable to expect gcc-rust to produce binaries that are byte-for-byte identical, so what other mechanism should be used to determine equivalence?)

But it does. Laws like this tend to spill over to other countrys, unless the politicians in question have to tiptoe away from the mess they created. So one way to fight this law is to make clear the rest of the world is not going to play along.

So as a person, I of course do care. The UK used to be fairly good concerning human rights, privacy, cooperation, ... This represents another step back. So the best thing to do is ignore this insanity as good as possible.
what usually helps is to include some of your assumptions with the effort estimate - especially the ones that cause significant effort.

In a product those typically are not so much negotiable with respect to the architecture. In a project they may lead the customer to change their architecture priorities completely.

I'm sensitive to the tactic of insulting people for pointing out inconvenient facts, namely that this action was taken - which got my accused of "projection" i.e. I am projecting my own childishness, based on zero evidence. Saying I'm "extremely sensitive" is another way of distracting from the point.

The decision was not negligible as far as I believe, but if you'd like to have a constructive discussion of that, rather than personal putdown, please go ahead.
You’ve misunderstood the degree to which I find eating to be inconvenient. It is merely that: at times inconvenient. I have a good appetite and am more likely to gain excess weight as opposed to losing weight due to not being motivated to eat.
Do you have statistics on how many servers do not support ipv6 at all, maybe weighted by their user count?
Not exactly. X.500, like all the ISO networking standards had two significant problems : 1. It was defined to operate over transport layers that nobody used. 2. Its standards documents had to be purchased from the ITU, so approximately nobody had access to them and approximately nobody could participate in discussions. LDAP provided a vehicle to tunnel X.500 into the IETF standards process, and onto TCP/IP networks. In the process various things were simplified, but the raisons d'être were those two things.

Agreed. Part of the problem is digital goods pretty much never have a right of resale. That's bullshit, particularly for e-Books where the electronic copy often costs more than the resellable paper copy.
Being wonderful or not wonderful isn't a crime though. His sentencing included presumption of an unproven crime. The US justice system is explicitly based on not considering someone guilty of a crime until proven guilty. You have no right to not be considered a wonderful or horrible person, but you do have a right to not be considered guilty of the crime until convicted.
Sometimes they legitimately don't know. It's a good opportunity to help them understand how much work goes into what you do.

I recommend not default-reacting to "why does it take so long? Isn't it just A, B, and C?" as an expression of pushback, but rather just as an expression of honest confusion.

I lived in America for thirty years. I've lived outside America for thirty years.

American cops terrified me with their aggressive ineptitude and I'm a polite older white guy with an English accent with short hair and a jacket. They never fucked me up, but I certainly saw them fuck up loads of other people, accept bribes, refuse to investigate blatant drug houses for years, and the like.

It took me quite a while to understand that cops here, while they do make mistakes sometime, are professional people with a sense of humor who aren't interested in displays of power.
Presumably the text color will distort the preferences? You're not deciding you prefer a color, you're deciding you prefer a background color for a white font.

At the moment it seems to be always white, maybe if it's always the opposite color on the color wheel that might offset it? Or maybe just have the text on a white card on the edge of the screen so you can focus on the color itself?
Note that the language independence of the middle layer(s) is often incomplete. Language-level constructs sometimes get smuggled through the intermediate layer and get translated in code generation. Or the middle layer is theoretically generic but valid variants that haven't been used before are buggy or unimplemented.

I think Rust on LLVM has a major example of this? IIUC, it's a big problem to turn on strict aliasing because LLVM doesn't actually implement it correctly, it just works well enough for C/C++ etc.? (But I'm no expert.)

Still, the frontend/backend split gets you a lot closer to supporting all of the l*t pairs than the all-in-one approach. Porting is a matter of fixing bugs and filling in missing parts rather than starting from scratch.
