As someone who both works as a professional dev, and someone who's tried to used Racket to actually make something, I was at first triggered by this.. Then came to the conclusion that it must be, that my inferior mind needs the inferior languages, for in Racket, I did not achieve my goal.

The rest of the articles reads a bit like someone being salty because their favorite language is not good enough to achieve widespread adoption and so they must conclude that the fault lies not with their language but with any other language that actually has this side-effect of enabling their users to get things done(tm) (which is of course of no importance to the intellectual programmer, as opposed to us mere grunts xD)
It's like Wargames.

I managed to cram 45 IP addresses into a single UDP DNS response for the MXes for AOL.com many years ago.

Someone else pointed out Bézier curves. What is interesting is such are same as the bending equation!

Back in the pre-cad days, designers would bend a piece of thin, elastic spline-wood to draw curves. From the side it looks exactly like a Bézier curve, this is not a coincidence, Beziers are more or less same as the physical bending equation for such a spline.

Unique character has nothing to do with it. They may have names but they're still livestock - raised en masse to be sold. Pets don't just have names, they're akin to family members. Livestock don't hang out on the couch with you while you watch TV.

Production systems are very much like livestock - spun up to serve a purpose. Getting overly attached as you might with a personal pet system is probably a mistake that will reduce your efficiency.
Just fyi, both npm and yarn are “third party” tools. Cargo is closer to the Rust core, and you can find tools in a similar position in Python as well (e.g. setuptools, hatch). Packaging tools being managed by a different group than people working on the “core language” is actually the norm, since those are very different topics and only very few brilliant people care about both of them at the same time. Python people tend to not hide some of these implementation details (probably self-selected by their choice to use Python in the first place), and it’s OK to not like it, but hopefully this helps clarify where your hate comes from so you don’t get burnt by wrong expectations elsewhere down the road.

European laws have a different approach regarding most individual rights. They are socially defined and distinguished from ownership.

The Register's article contains some interesting information about the system being upgraded (it's where the Windows PuTTY client is hosted...) as well as about the original blog post's author, that I was not aware of:

> Jackson is highly qualified to perform such a complex upgrade: as well as being a former Debian project lead, he also wrote Debian's underlying package-management tool dpkg. Jackson stewarded the release of Debian 2.0, the first multi-architecture version of the distribution, and the first to use libc6
I believe this is the right answer. They can usually fix it over the phone.

Apple's primary technical support issue is people who are locked out of their Apple ID/iCloud/iTunes/etc. accounts for various reasons. It's tricky because another big issue is scammers trying to steal or break into other people's accounts.

It's also why Apple veers away from privacy by encouraging key escrow for iCloud - otherwise users will lock themselves out with no recourse.

In this case it sounds like it is Apple's fault and they should be able to fix it.

If you still own an Apple device (presumably you do if you care about the App Store) usually it can be registered (Apple may have to do this if you can't) and used for 2FA.

Since you own the payment method for your purchases, that should help as well.

Crazy stats.

> A big pink diamond of 170 carats has been discovered in Angola and is claimed to be the largest such gemstone found in 300 years

> Only one in 10,000 diamonds is colored pink

> The pink gemstone is the fifth largest diamond found at the mine where 27 diamonds of 100 carats or more have been found

> Angola’s mines make it one of the world’s top 10 producers of diamonds

> The pink diamond is an impressive size but many clear diamonds are larger than 1,000 carats. The Cullinan diamond found in South Africa in 1905 tips the scales at 3,106 carats and it’s in the British Sovereign’s Scepter.
If brains are information processing systems, and that consciousness emerges from that activity, I don’t have to worry about the parts having consciousness. They don’t, they just contain and process information.

Panpsychists are committing a hierarchy inversion error. Horses are a kind of animal, but that doesn’t mean all animals are a kind of horse. Just because consciousness is a result of information processing, that doesn’t mean all information processing systems are conscious. Heck, as we are discussing here, I’m not always conscious.
Charges for what?
One of the greatest websites of all time (I was the technical lead there for a couple of years 20 years ago.)

It was originally designed as a more general wiki (the name is a pun of C2 ) and then evolved into a a quasi-literary, quasi-blog thing, with thousands of contributors.

Its key features were a supremely easy way to create links between articles ("nodes") as well as empty links ("nodeshells") for others to fill in, encouraging sprawl but also connectivity; a rich voting and reward system, chat and messages, bookmarks, lists - if we had all had a half a brain, we could've pivoted to Medium or Substack no problem.

A couple of things I'm proud of there

https://everything2.com/user/kthejoker/writeups/Snuff+Etique... - this is an example of filling a nodeshell someone else created with ... something not intended but appropriate

I encountered this recently with The Simpsons.

There's a meme about "zombie Simpsons" and the show being a shell of its former self which gets repeated ad nauseum on the internet.

But when I sat down and watched every Simpsons episode, I discovered that meme to be out of date by 6+ years.

Some of the new Simpsons episodes are surprisingly good and rank among my favorites in the series. Yet even though the show has really returned to form for half a decade now there are still people online commenting about how bad it is relative to some imagined older era of the Simpsons they might not have even watched.

It's a weird groupthink meme that's hard to get past.
Clearly posting this in 2022 is really funny, it is almost 10 year old I guess? Technically it's still interesting for improving one code style but does jQuery still heavy in use nowadays? I mean people use it, but I suppose more by choice than by default, they have to really WANT to use it.

Decision problems are a subset of learning problems. As soon as someone can simulate your environment there is no negative consequence to further exploring the solution space via differentiable evaluation methods which allow efficiently training an optimal player.
Not having a side is a nice idea until your opponent forces you into a side. Then they complain when you defend yourself or you must give into their side.

Like when someone is arguing that people with your attributes should be killed or should have less rights than other people you don't have a choice in the matter. If you have a coworker yelling about how gay people are inferior to their openly gay coworker, there's no getting out of choosing a side.
> The difficulty is that there is an entire class of people who don't even care about being logically correct or in finding truth. They desire or "feel" something and will barge their way through to get it,

A malicious philosopher tells you that to move from point A to B, you must first pass through an infinite number of midpoints, and therefore motion is impossible. Do you: Invent/learn calculus to prove him wrong rigorously? Or do you walk away?

For some few people, figuring out the matter rationally may bear a lot of fruit. But most people will be better served by walking away. For those people, wasting their time with rational arguments would be irrational. They have better things to do with their day. Irrational arguments can cut through solipsistic bullshit very fast and efficiently, and that makes them a valuable and productive tool for most people much of the time.
I think you are confusing a non-thinking tree with a human with will and planned actions.

I understand where your stoic ideas come from but I just disagree. They imply just observing randomness instead of actively trying to make society better. But if you will, I consider a person with a negative society balance through their actions bad. I guess the definition strikes a nerve. I don't get why people get triggered though. A green tree is a green tree, a bad person is a bad person (through the definition.

I agree. I'm also a long time CGI algorithms guy ~30 years. I can definitely see computer graphics getting swallowed by machine learning / AI in the next few years. The main things standing in the way as far as I can see, are the fine grained control of what the AI algorithm produces, and the resource requirements. But those barriers will fall, or be gradually lowered for sure.

I guess it's fine to be idealistic here but most reviewers would look down upon your work if you do this. And that impression can be the difference between acceptance and rejection. I'm sure ideally this shouldn't happen, but it is what it is for now.
Some of the stats in the current article come from the predecessor of the AusPlay Survey.

Also, there are stats in the article that are completely biased that are self-reported stats from sports organisations.

no, it absolutely is not, for a democratic republic like the US. the US is designed to have a minimal federal government that doesn't interfere in the individual life and liberty of its residents. this is very unlike governments that came before it and even peer governments now, like the social democracies of europe. our federal government was not meant to be a central planner, but rather simply an interstate and international arbiter. therefore, it cannot have any interest in population control in any way. that's up to the will of the people, and only the will of the people. it's not even a state concern because it would encroach our civil liberties, which are inalienable by the constitution.
In practice, it does. It's impossible to use any of the major ad networks effectively without conversion tracking (which is what I'm assuming you're calling selling out? I disagree with that sentiment, given it amounts to sending a single pseudoanonymous ID with user consent).

Edit: To be clear, most European enterprise companies would happily dump Google Analytics if not for Google Ads and the Search Console integration. Almost all will be already be using another tool for user analytics, but most online B2C companies are reliant on Google for demand generation, and Google Ads is only effective with conversion tracking.
> One can label one’s opponent a “racist”, a “bigot” or a “fascist”, and suggest that an audience is safest by ignoring the arguments altogether, for fear of being duped into bigotry itself.

I think that this is often making a mistake about what is going on. There is an idealized form of argument that arrives at a conclusion from first principles and which we can then debate, dispute and resolve.

But since this article does actually bring in twitter, let's talk about the what is actually going on. There are a series of arguments that are proposed that whilst having atleast a veneer of respectability, aren't held for reasons of principle. There was a term related to this that turned up during the Trump years - Trump would take an outrageous unjustifiable position, and then Intellectual Zambonis would come in and try to smooth it out to be a heroic stand for the principles of the right. I'm not saying Trump is the only example of this, but in the real world, you do actually have to engage with the idea that the only reason someone is taking a position in an argument is not because they believe it, but because it's the most persuasive way of getting what they want. Whether that's originalism at the Supreme Court, or States rights. You do have to ask the question "If I prove this argument to be wrong, will it actually change the outcome that the opponent is advocating, or will they just move to another argument".

Similarly, I have a digital audio player from Shanling and the device running the Linux kernel driving the device, the only supported formats for the microSD were FAT32, NTFS, and exFAT.

Following the same erroneous line of thought the next strategies might now situate themselves between nudging and strong enforcement. Something to really look forward to.

Asking people or setting an example are of course ideas that have to be discarded, applied statistical analysis is far more convenient and you have to write some kind of paper. They don't strictly have to but are certainly decisively nudged to do that. In the interest of their career of course, you got to get that numbers up.

At least nudging worked for pissoirs though. I like the subtlety of the critic saving the theory. It would be good to do something against publication bias as suggested in the article.

Microsoft phylosophy is the reason. KDE and GNOME at the beginning (1.x) were quiet good. If developers would have fixed the bugs linux would have been better. But fixing bugs sucks, do they release every couple of years a new version, incompatible with the old one and the circle is closed. The sane users had given up a long time ago.

Yes. This is true. But honestly, while it still midly annoys me it just doesn't seem worth the effort.

What was interesting is just how unobjectionable this addition is and how hard it was to go through all the processes.

Lot of good info and saved away!

However, it drinks the code coverage cool-aid that started like 30 years ago when code coverage tools emerged.

Management types said "high test code coverage == high quality"; lets bean count that!!

A great way to achieve high code coverage is to have less than robust code that does not check for crazy error cases that are really hard to reproduce in test cases.

Code coverage is a tool to help engineers write good tests. One takes the time to look at the results and improve the test. It is a poor investment to be obsessed with code cover on paths where the cost to test them greatly exceeds the value.

10% coverage and 100% are both alarm bells. Don't assume naive, easy to produce metrics are the same as quality code.

Otherwise, and excellent article.
I'd be careful with that. My suspicion is that our memories would transform themselves into memories of the simulation, rather than the original event.
