I was hoping that Fascicle 7 would come out, as that would be on Constraint Programming, and I think that's very similar to SAT-solvers (Fascicle 6) and the BDDs that he's already covered.

Then again: SAT-solvers are a big enough subject matter on their own that backtracking search + SAT-solvers is more than enough to fill a volume of its own. So choosing these two subjects as volume 4B makes sense.

As a fan of constraint programming, I'd love to see Knuth's take on the subject. I hope he doesn't skip over Fasicle 7.
> the notion in the methodologies (not necessarily the underlying language) that any time something has to happen, an object does it.

That's not necessarily a bad notion, though. It's pretty much the definition of a capability, which is an important concept when designing for modularity.
Brain drain continues today. Innovation happens in the US while EU... mandates charging connectors.
For me, the killer feature of Clojure is "REPL driven development". The ability to get rapid feedback as you build things up is incredible. I'll make a comment form and evaluate expressions within it to try things out as I go. By the time I've written any reasonably complex function, all of the pieces have been tested on various examples. Once I'm done, the comment form leaves a helpful record of my thought process.

If you're wondering what's so great about the Clojure repl (and other lisp repls) in particular, the thing is that you never have to actually type something into it. You can run evaluations from the code file itself. The structure of lisps makes it clear exactly which code you want to evaluate. To do this, I use the excellent CIDER package for emacs. I understand Calva for VS Code and Cursive for IntellJ offer similar functionality.

Here's a good talk on what this looks like:

Thank you very much for your perspective. This is useful to know.

I've basically found some methods to cope with my weird attention issues but since my methods are so unusual and essential for me to be focused it makes it difficult to work with others or keep up my own self-motivation.

I was wondering if there was a magic pill to solve some of these problems, but you've cleared up that it's a double-edged sword.

An unusual form of pluralising thief.

I know it is acceptable to use the grocers' apostrophe with foreign words but with thief the forms thiefs and thieves are both arguably correct (see pre Tolkien elfs) but auto-correct does not agree.
In this case the counterfactual is a stronger argument than you saying "they did it only now" with appeal to authority. Unless there's a well reasoned approach to this policy, we are practically stuck with the current standard until the EU bureaucrats decide everyone needs an upgrade.

Subscriptions are uncontroversial when there's a perceived cost to the user of the ongoing usage. In fact I believe it tracks very closely with the "Cost of Goods Sold" (COGS).

No one questions whether Dropbox should be a one-off price or a subscription, there's obviously ongoing cost to storing the data. However for apps that don't have this there's always going to be push back.

Developers typically point to customer support and maintenance as reasons, but customer support is not typically part of COGS as it's not part of the product, most users won't use it, so counting the cost per user doesn't really work. Any user can justify why they won't use support. As for maintenance, this wasn't a problem when software got new versions every year or so with upgrade pricing.

Devs looking for ways to build sustainable business is great, but it's also reasonable for users to reject subscriptions where there's no explicit cost to providing that software.
I always see recommendations on /r/HomeServer for using a laptop and I always shudder a bit. I had a battery swell on a Macbook. The thought of leaving a laptop running unattended for months at a time, possibly stuffed in a garage or closet where you won't be watching it for awhile just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

The other thing is that if you have a laptop worth using as a server then you have a laptop probably worth selling. Use that money to buy a proper UPS and cheap server and you may even have money left over. You also can't plug routers or cable modems into a laptop, so it's rather pointless anyway.

I have a UPS because I'm hit with short brownouts every summer (yay, California). But if my grid was better and I only saw outages every few years then screw it. Let the server crash. This isn't the 1980s. Nearly all filesystems and databases (ACID, anyway) recover just fine today. Use ZFS if you're truly paranoid.
Looks like it also went at least partially Electron and gained a lot of weight in the process. The Mac version went from 288.2MB → 598.2MB.
Apple hasn't changed the 'fast-changing' lightning connector since 2012, and USB-A lasted from 1996 to, well, present. USB-C came out in 2014 and is likely going to outlive us both. Connectors simply don't change that fast, and I'm not sure why people think they do.

I think even the EU can regulate on that kind of schedule.
This isn't about the internet at all, but about music: Greil Marcus, one of the deans of rock criticism, treasures all the oddball stuff like this guy is talking about. He calls it "the old weird America."

The EU did this to help the environment. Wireless charging is less efficient than charging cable and wastes electricity, so we may see the EU ban wireless charging.

You are comparing the mildest version of the stated beliefs of one ideology, to the actions of another (actions that, by the way, were kept hidden from the German people, who for most of the war believed the Jews were merely being, or going to be, expelled. There would be no need for a coverup if gassing was a widely-shared, open belief). Try:

"Believing that the economically well-off and those professing contrary politics should be starved to death imprisoned in their own country or in Siberia is the same as believing the German people should prosper in their ancestral lands and be free of foreign exploitation."

Present-day communists still proudly proclaim "eat the rich", so the hate is not limited to some distant time and place. And please spare me the excuses of how "eat" doesn't mean "eat", but a peaceful and gradual economic transition where resources are more fairly reallocated. Such charitable interpretations are never extended to disfavored movements.
Right. The idea of killing the children also sends me reeling, but I can see the thinking: if any heirs are allowed to live, there could be a movement to re-establish the royalty. Killing them nips that in the bud and makes whatever revolution feel a little more "permanent". Still... awful and tragic.
At this point of time anything that isn't a sharp spike downwards is welcome.

Yep, imagine building a rocket without ever making prototypes.
I can't unplug my computer to charge my phone because I use my computer in clamshell mode, which sadly only works when its plugged in. I do sometimes charge through my computer, but I find this is pretty slow. I figured that USB-A to USB-C cables exist, and we might decide to buy some of these. But if the change is happening, it might be foolish to purchase cables that have one foot in the grave already. The upside would be that we could still charge our micro USB devices from the same bricks.

There is something distasteful about this announcement but I can’t quite pinpoint it. Maybe it feels like a bait and switch announcing their own fork after the whole qemu commentary, or the wording about the code of conduct. I don’t know.

One of the greatest things about SQLite is how easy it is to embed in random targets/build systems/languages: a .c and .h and you are all set. Moving away from that model will turn off many people away so I hope they retain that model.
Where's the deceit? The page is incredibly honest about it, any client which cares will immediately see the purpose of the document.

It's working around bureaucracy. Nothing more, nothing less. Given SQLite's position, that's incredibly understandable.
I agree, there is no need for a degree in order to re-invent the wheel or practice pseudo engineering. The lower the bar the better, just look at the state of webdev.
Ok, I really like to have one connector for everything, and USB-C is quite dominant.

But at least for me, USB-C feels way more sensitive/fragile compared to Lightning.

While Plugging-in the USB-C Cable into my steam-deck i’m a bit afraid to break the port. Ramming in a Lightning Cable to any matching device doesn’t give me that feel.

Besides the obvious benefit of a single connector, do you really think USB-C is a good connector for phones/portables?
What is casually asserted can be casually denied. Can you elaborate your reason for thinking this? Is it a special carve-out for Mickey, or would you also include, say, Alice in Wonderland?
What, pray tell, does having your catalytic convertor stolen have to do with believing in Goop? Last time I heard of one being stolen, the thieves didn’t bother to do an interview.
"Buckminster Fuller’s technological insights, while impressive, are not what we need today. We do not need grand designs and we do not need controlling designers at the helm to direct our choices for the future. We need arrangements that will allow us to remain free to do as we please and pursue our dreams while abiding by rules, reached by common agreement, that ensure our freedoms do not result in harm to others or to our planet. We can think big about our common future, and we must welcome appropriate technologies, but only if they do not rely on greater and greater social controls by those who decide they know best how to make us safer and happier."

An interesting comment, and one which I don't entirely disagree with. But there is some inherent benefit to the "big idea person" who is able to bring large groups of people along with them to work on those big ideas together.

Have their been any examples of that same effect occurring in the realms that the author describes?
For all we know, it very well could be.

...now, whether that's because it's that good of a connector or because we humans wipe ourselves out before we get around to inventing something better is another question altogether.
Easy solution: add your new innovative charging port in addition to USB-C.

> Sure. It also explains why EU is lagging horribly behind the US when it comes to technology.

Probably because the EU (government(s)) doesn't sink as much money in to research as the US government. The technology of the US was built on Cold War spending:

That's disappointing, I remember seeing the project at the time and thinking (a) it was an absolutely awesome idea and (b) it was a bit too ambitious and needed to keep a limited scope to be successful. The laptop chassis would have been a great phase 2 after getting the compute module out into the world. The 3D printer story sounds like they might have lost sight of the apple pie while they were inventing the universe.

This might be true if the lawsuit damages were paid out of police budgets, but in many instances this isn't the case – the lawsuits are paid out of a combination of municipal liability insurance claims and the general city budget, eg) https://abcnews.go.com/US/millions-lawsuit-settlements-hidde... or https://www.npr.org/2020/09/19/914170214/police-settlements-...

If someone doesn't want to be shamed online, then simply don't go online. It's a very simple solution. Being online is consenting to the risk of being shamed.

For some people it's an easy choice to make: the benefits clearly out weight the risk, or vice-versa. For whatever reason, some people decide that they wish to be online, but don't agree with the risk of being shamed - a fool's errand. It's easier to move the world than to reshape the social order. Simply wishing for something to be true is the product of an immature mind.
California is a big state. In Southern California, neither of those things happen regularly (source: I've lived here since 1980). The last time they did happen regularly was with Enron.
Is it really the case that dies/packages are tested and batched

I mean, you make a good point on reliability/quality, but there are

That seems ever less ethically defensible as we move into scarcity.
For ongoing development there already exists a model where you buy a license that lets you use the current version plus maybe any upgrades happening in the next X months. I'd be happy to regularly pay 5 or 10 bucks for an app I love if it gets updates but that's not what we're seeing I think. The current model is based on subscriptions because of exactly one reason. Hope that the consumer forgets about the recurring charge.
I'd argue this is actually great. It's extremely unlikely that type-C connectors would charge from anything other than the in-built charging standard (if for no other reason than physical compatibility) but all the extra pins make it extremely flexible. The Lightning pins can just be routed out of the USB-C connector in a compliant way via alt-mode.

A friend just brought me a Macbook Air (2019) to Greece where I am currently located. The computer came from another European country and was reset to factory settings before the trip.

> There's a long history of Apple using proprietary connectors to achieve performance specifications above what the currently available standardized connectors could provide.

Lightning was good when it came out (compared to the various micro-USB options), but it's not held up. Even Apple knows this and they've moved away from it on their iPads.
Working around bureaucracy is still deceit. The spirit of the ethics they state here would suggest a good faith effort to put together a true code of conduct, however basic.

The ethics that Christianity teach don't have a backdoor because it's big corporate.
This is a false dichotomy. The government and politicians makes and mandates decisions that are detrimental to society. Often to their own benefit.

And they have no competition. It would be too political to list these. But, I am sure both sides of the political spectrum can come up with innumerable examples.

I am one of those rare people who actually really enjoyed the thrill of playing a miner (or some other crafter) and having murderers show up and try to kill me for my valorite ingots. It felt like high stakes (in game terms, low stakes in real life terms) hide-and-seek!

Over the years I ended up wearing many different hats, of course. I had red characters and thieves and mage-thief hybrids (by far the most annoying character for people to play against). I participated in guild vs guild combat, I had a tamer, a bard, a smith, a fisherman. I loved everything there was to do in UO. On a free shard I even dabbled in programming, writing a bot to automate shearing sheep and storing the wool in the bank. That shard had a really high spawning rate for sheep so I was able to earn enough gold to purchase a keep to share with my friends in about a week of real time!

I used them to implement a random number generator in an embedded system to generate morse code, for training ham radio operators. I also used him KMP algorithm for writing pattern matchers.

I suspect that most of these algorithms have been implemented and available as libraries for people to use. The challenge of programming has moved from designing such isolated algorithms to modeling the problems, modularizing the code, creating an evolutionary path for a system, and balancing the wants of tomorrow with the needs of today.

Still, if you are working at the core problems of organizing, searching, sorting, managing data, you might might the books useful.
You do realize that SQLite adopted it's current coc for exactly this reason, right? That's what's meant by compliance, there are some situations where adopting oss code requires specific licenses and compatible-ish coc's to avoid issues with required harassment training and dei. Some auditor will ask for "proof" and the coc is what you can send them. And it's done virally like this because otherwise it would be trivial to bypass by simply having a subcontractor.

It's Apple's best interest to do what makes them money, and it often aligns with what customers want.

> A political organization like EU has no say in this.

Standards bodies in the EU have be defining things like this for decades.

> EU citizens already make this decision for themselves by voting with money and choosing to buy/not buy an iPhone.

As an Apple customer I might be voting with my money, but not on the connector specifically -- just on whether the product's collective pros outweigh their cons (and whether it's better than the competitor's, ofc). If I could vote, I would've voted for USB-C a long time ago, but I just get to choose between a set of products with varying compromises. Don't know why you try to make it seem like a democratic choice.

> Today is one of the dark days of EU. In short sight it's a victory. But in long sight it's a hinderence to progress by enforcing a technology on the market instead of letting the free market decide the technology.

If the free market had its say, it'd be choosing profits over the environment, consumer safety and worker rights every time. Or..? Why hasn't the US, with much laxer regulations free-marketed itself to utopia?
