Legendary programmers don’t become legendary because of their text editors but because of the code that they write.

Linus Torvalds has used a janky version of micro Emacs that he picked up as a university student in Finland.[1] Will it make you a better programmer if you switch to his editor? No. Just use whatever you are comfortable with, like he has. He has used this editor because he got used to its peculiar keybindings. He rather worked on the kernel than to learn new keybindings.

Asia does seem to move more and more into the renminbi sphere. It would makes sense if China starts exporting more RMB over the next couple of years to facilitate trade in the region and get the USD financial hooks out of the region. For now i'm mostly waiting on South china sea code of conduct being finalised. Seems Vietnam is now willing to cooperate with China on their South China sea issues and resources/border disputes.

You also have Xi next month meeting Arab leaders in Saudi Arabia, a lot of people are expecting a PetroYuan announcement or at the very least the foundation of such an agreement. I think after those two events are handled and closed, China should be in an excellent position to become Asia's major energy hub. They can get Russian, Qatari, Central Asian stans and Saudi energy products without having to use Western financial institutions or services.
I think the Russian and Arab leaders want a bigger share of the Chinese bonds and financial markets so they can grow their RMB reserves like they are already doing with their dollars.

Ghana going with gold for energy imports seems smart for now but yeah moving gold isn't easy, also verifying the gold is also not easy. That's why i think BRICS+, SCO and BRI nations will create a block chain with a digital currency(Central Banks digital Currency) backed by a basket of currencies and commodities to facilitate import and export and government to government financial transactions.
I agree the description wasn't quite ready for prime time. I will work on the documentation and adding examples.
> The central German state of Hesse’s local Data Protection Authority (DPA) has banned the use of Microsoft 365 in its schools, citing concerns over privacy violations.

The state of Hesse. Not the 'whole' of Germany. The clickbait title has worked its way to HN unsurprisingly.
Twitter will now have Blue, Grey and Gold accounts
What a clickbaity headline. It's just about one state, and only for schools.

(The first sentence of that article is: "The central German state of Hesse’s local Data Protection Authority (DPA) has banned the use of Microsoft 365 in its schools")
Compare:

thinking in OOP terms in say, Haskell, is terrible. -> doesn’t mean OOP is terrible or that Haskell is terrible.

Thinking in functional terms in Haskell is great. -> doesn’t mean functional programming is great or that Haskell is great.

All it means is that the language is designed to be used with that paradigm.
yes this is very relevant to o365. /s
Do you have a source for that? All the Brazilian articles that I could find, even the official government publication[1], only mention carregador ("charger", the thing that plugs into the wall), and "missing components necessary to use the product". There's no mention of USB-C or cable incompatibility anywhere.

As to why only Apple (and not, say, most wireless earbuds), I'd guess that it's because of their visibility and obscene prices in Brasil. Due to its weak currency and self-imposed import taxes, Brazilians pay over 6 months of minimum wage for the lowest spec iPhone 14.

"We have the technology" to make sense (specifically, to make 3D models) of old and emerging underground sensing techniques, but haven't pulled something cohesive and coherent together yet.

"Free trade between the worlds nations is very pretty, but when accountability is very different in different country you get shit like that."

Exactly, free trade was never a level playing field and many nations have taken advantage of the fact.

What annoys me most is that governments still pretend there's no problem and or that they're still pursuing individual free trade agreements without including provisions to cover these environmental issues. By our governments not doing so we are just shifting our 'shit' from our location to some other country with less ridged controls. We are dishonesty freeloading on others and the environment suffers just as much as if we'd not enacted our environmental laws.

I recall this being obvious during the free trade debates of the Reagan-Thatcher era but Big Business had such a stranglehold on governments that there wasn't a snowball's chance of including not only the environmental stuff but also other important stuff such as wages parity, product quality (parity quality on like items)—junk product dumped at super low prices alone killed off many local industries and we still haven't fully recovered. Same goes for safety standards—countries with high standards had to reduce them to the lowest common denominator, and so on.

What still worries me is why the populace at large swallowed this poisonous rhetoric without major objection. Remember, that happened in the 1930s with disastrous consequences. Unfortunately, that tragedy hasn't made the citizenry immune from such rhetoric.

It seems to me that until we citizens find some way of protecting and immunizing ourselves from the snake oil salesmen then we're bound to repeat similar mistakes next time around.

What ?

They do that once they absolutely milked the world for decades because they're approaching death and start to get worried about their karma. Too little too late, it's like burning a random house and going in to save the cat while the family is burning, you don't get to be applauded for that

I also disapprove of the irrational behavior I imagine might exist, potentially.
MSFT should be leading the way.

In what universe do they need to be collecting data from kids, especially that which cannot be kept locally.

Telemetry data (which I suggest is reasonable that they collect) can be stored in local 'log' style DBs. It's not data they need to repatriate.

Although for login and identity management, it might be reasonable to have that quasi centralized for security reasons. While MS could afford to build for each country, almost no other companies could.

Finally, we need to be wary folks: this is ultimately a kind of regulatory capture.

I'm already working with small startups that are struggling with this - they have customers unwilling to have their data stored in other countries and it's a giant problem.

MS and G can afford to deal with it, startups, not so much.

Edit: Gosh I wonder if that's an PaaS opportunity right there, aka 'transparent nationally stored data' ...
The initial design (on paper) let you choose your currency, but I went for something simpler. I like that the tooltips just use :hover styling, and could even work without JavaScript if I set their value on the server side. Something more complex would be a bit more finicky (as are the current glossary tooltips).
It would be a very stupid thing to do.
Yeah, I like the design goals, I just found the solution was worse than the problem it was solving.

> writing is even worse since there is no testing at all

Isn't it possible to get a beta reader? Just someone who will go through your writing and give you feedback?

If you are writing docs, a lot of the time you'll also have coworkers there with you, that you'll be able to float the docs to for a quick look, or maybe other people who are interested in your project, if doing open source, or even a friend.

It is a bit worse than automated testing, but surely better than nothing!

Also, there are apps or sites like this, that help you detect when you have run on sentences or complicated wording: https://hemingwayapp.com/

Those could sometimes be useful.

I once was assigned to a project at Volkswagen and had the opportunity to eat at their canteen.

First of all, the quality of the canteen at Volkswagen is top notch, every day you could a wide variety of meals, a lot of different vegetables and salads.
The only meal that was the same every day was the Currywurst made with the original Volkswagen sausage and fries.
They even sold them prepackaged at the canteen. With Volkswagen branding.
Bacterial infections are generally very treatable though. Even when the bacteria aren't engineered. And especially when they are, because why would you leave any antibiotic resistance in an engineered bacterium?

Bacteria are the scariest when they've had the time to develop resistance to multiple different antibiotics.

Additionally, a bacterium that's engineered to be almost completely harmless evolving into a deadly strain in vivo is fairy unlikely in itself, especially if transcriptional errors can be reduced several orders of magnitude like GGP suggested.

Adding to that the option of hospitalisation or even home isolation to reduce risk of transmission, the risk of this resulting in some huge lethal epidemic must be pretty miniscule.
that's not it
No I think it is the sales that counts. That 200k salesperson will of course make PowerPoint decks showing all the support options. But, the main barrier to take is convincing 10+ people with different incentives to all sign off on your product, and that is what enterprise sales gets done.

> they're more about the organisation changing to fit the ERP

that's because the ERP has been sold as the solution to the domain complexity of the organization. It's been sold as a way to make your org's business processes work in "industry standard" ways, following "best practice", because the ERP vendor has "experience" with other orgs in similar businesses, which you can leverage the expertise/knowledge off. They'll customize the process a bit, to make it suite your "unique" circumstances.

Unfortunately, it's all hogwash.
It is a bit clickbaity.

But on the whole i'd say its warranted.
Because these judgements are precedents which bind other DPA's.

The scope of the factual findings is broad enough to say that it affects any business using 365 handling personal data. That leaves only the question of legality in the specific case. Which depends on the presence and kind of personal data present in 365.
> Frameworks are not architectures

I'm not saying they are; I'm saying you should outsource the building of a framework that implements your architecture of choice when you can. I would also go further and say that if you can't, you should pick a different architecture where you can.
That software and organizations have boundaries and that they matter is true but is too obvious to be interesting. DDD has little to say about the most crucial aspect of those boundaries - where the boundaries go and why.

There is a shared semantic model both inside a boundary and outside. However, DDD has relatively little to say about the most crucial part of that too - how to shape and define that language.

DDD does, however, have a lot to say about how to misapply certain design patterns.

I am Brazillian, and I must say you are underestimating Apple's marketing and Elop dumbness (before Elop, Nokia had absolute market domination here, Sybian was both good enough and cheap enough to have something like 70% market share, Brazillians even made a bootleg port of Counter-Strike for Sybian...)

For example some years ago shortly after the launch of a new iPhone, it hit the news that a waiter had sold one of his kidneys to buy the iPhone.

I was going to post the link here but... search engines keep prioritizing the Nigerian and Chinese guys that did the same and I can't find the Brazillian one anymore.

I expect them to supply one which is suitable for purpose and cable that is good as well. But maybe I'm just weird.
As you guys seem to be confused on this so let me explain the rationale.

Brazil has a consumer law, that defines what companies can/can't do when selling to consumers. It has like, warranty minimums for durable goods (90 days), "no questions asked" return right for virtual purchases (7 days), etc... among those there is a very special one called "Venda Casada", which translates to tie-in/combined sale.

The "venda casada" article forbids the condition of an purchase to the necessity of purchasing another item (from whoever is selling it). For the Apple case, the judge understands that by removing the charger (and therefore selling as a separate product), Apple is forcing the consumer to purchase 2 items when acquiring an iPhone, as the charger is a must have item for a smartphone, and to make things worse, Apple has a proprietary charger so new customers and those migrating from other platforms (like android) will need to buy the charger.

The rationale is pretty similar to a TV brand selling a TV without the charging cable, since everyone has a TV, so they surely must already have a charging cable.

This is a law, it is not Brazil government/judiciary with some vendetta against Apple. Many companies have had decisions against them because of this.

I hope this helps make things clearer.
Cheers!
Edit: The documentation of `named-let`[1] explicitly mentions that it supports tail call optimisation, but the documentation of `cl-labels`[2] doesn't. So maybe the optimisation should be viewed as being tied specifically to `named-let` (or maybe the documentation of `cl-labels` should be updated to mention that it also supports the optimisation).

It's not that one of those is correct and the other wrong. The issue is that one of those can change very easily, but it's much harder for the other.

Also, data definitions are entirely language based, so if you doing DDD, most of what you need to discuss with other teams gets formalized on the data model, not on the logic.
One would think that Apple could afford to include a charger that costs them $10 in their $1000+ phone box on which they have a 50+% margin, but hey. Guess you can keep buying their official chargers at $99 because standard USB-C chargers might or might not work on their devices depending on how they feel today.

I agree. Overemployment has been fairly big in the news recently, but I suspect it has more to do with real estate valuations: get people back in the office and get those property values up!

This is one of those talking points I see progressives use that has just never made sense to me.

So we can agree people's time is stolen from them, this is wrong. The part that has never made sense to me is why this means stealing as a whole something that society should encourage?

If someone is abused by their parents we would agree they suffered injustice, like people who had their wages skimmed by their employer. We would never tell someone that was abused by their parents it's now okay to abuse their own children, so why would we tell someone who's been stolen from that it's now okay for them to loot bodegas?

I sometimes can't tell if I'm being gaslighted, or if people really do look at the world in such broad strokes. When I see my local owner, Sol, have his shop trashed and stuck up by a couple 19yos, I certainly wasn't thinking about how they're probably hardworking minimum wage workers and this is just an 'inefficient redistribution' of wealth which is rightfully theirs. Some people are just dishonorable thieves, there doesn't have to be more to it than that.
I think that the page cache is set to 1 day, and dropping it to 12 hours would not strain the server. I'd just save the rates to a file on the server, and create a twig filter that wraps euro amounts with the exchange rate data. I already do this to replace constants (BLUE_CARD_MIN_INCOME) with values from a file.

However server-side generation would mean that exchange rates are cached along with the page by Google and archive.org. An old version of the page would show old exchange rates.

I care a great deal about letting users consume the content even if the website goes down, either through archive.org, Google Cache, CloudFlare, Pocket or their own archives.
Not sure why this is downvoted. It's mentioned in the article:

It's hard to trust Amazon products even when shopping for brands. Every time I search for a brand name, after filtering the recommended non-brand stuff, on the brand product page itself, a lot of reviews say the product is a knock off.

Nowadays I just go to brand.com and shop from there, it cost 5-25% extra, but at least I have some guarantee that I will not end up with a fake.
I’ve accidentally dialed 911 via the side buttons on my iPhone (I put it into the drink holder in a chair, and it was just tight enough to depress the buttons) and at least twice via the buttons on my Watch (trying to swap out the watch bands).

Ah. So if Apple had put off switching from USB-A to USB-C for a few years they might not have gotten in trouble. And other phone brands that use USB-C and don't include the AC adapter are probably less high-profile than Apple but might find themselves in the same legal situation in the near future.
There was a case with Ford in the 70s were they calculated that a retribution cost per person would be around 200k - calculated the likely effect of the cars busting into flames because they had an design flaw. They realised they are still better off than to recall all vehicles.
