> Uber wasn’t pitched as a taxi replacement, it was supposed to be a hip new way to car pool.

This actually isn't true. It was advertised as being as such, because directly saying your business model is to cut out taxi regulation is problematic. Uber planned to be a phone-based taxi service, and originally planned to use professional drivers. It likely realized skirting labor laws through contractors was more scalable.

AirBnB was actually pitched as a way for individuals to make extra cash, however. I agree with you now about the "Favors" and view on workers. Now that AirBnb hosting is a full-time status for people/apartments, I feel like people should be professional. If you're a professional investor with houses on AirBnB (aka its not your spare room), then you should be cleaning your own damn units (or charging commensurate rates).

>I certainly don’t feel like doing a favor for these huge middleman platforms which traditionally would’ve needed to have some internal rating system but now don’t even have to do that.

I expect we're a few years away from getting a "credit bureau" type regulation regarding these systems. I've seen people advocate for them as punishing people who treat service workers poorly, but I think it's too easy to enable discrimination or improper behavior.

> they can’t differentiate legitimate pearl-clutching from someone (in that case, Dahl’s estate / the publisher)

The 'woke edits' (for want of a better term) at the direction of the publishers on behalf of the estate (their client) was the furtherest thing from legitimate pearl clutching possible.

They (both parties) wanted to make money, they released a new edition, and they made their PR releases to highlight the changes made to "make Dahl better" (for a new and more woke audience).

That's not pearl clutching, that's just marketing .. and worse very likely deliberately manipulative in order to reach eyeballs via contraversy.

What was the end result of that?

Double payout!!

They have apologised for the sin of altering Dahl and are re-releasing 'Original Dahl' - so they are making bank from both their new revision edition and from a new release of old editions for all the outraged new self declared Dahl fans that want only the original works with the enormously fat descriptors.

Only "spam" I get now is DMs on Twitter and Instagram. However, I _see_ a ton of spam on youtube in the comments or when there's not enough "popular" videos in the niche.

An important part of planning, especially in the military context, is that you don't, or shouldn't, make a singular plan. You make a collection of plans and contingencies. You practice them with various levels of simulations from tabletop wargaming (these days computer simulations) to large scale exercises. Then while you're in the simulation you throw in constraints, problems, etc. to force the plan to fail and the people to react (bad exercises, and these do happen, are set up with a target outcome so one side can't "lose", which isn't supposed to be the point of the exercise).

So the planning ends up being one of the more useful things to do because it prepares you for both your intentions but also to handle things when they fail (in some fashion). The plans, themselves, are useless because they will very rarely be carried through as written. You can't just read a plan and memorize it and expect to carry it out in an adversarial situation. If you're lucky, or your adversary is severely outmatched, then this can work. However, you can't count on luck and you can't count on your adversary being unprepared or incapable or incompetent.

Planning, contrasted to plans, prepares you (or should) for when the plans fail and you have to adapt and overcome in the field.

The man pages on my Linux box are too old to mention the trust-ad option, although newer Linux man pages do.

glibc defines a RES_TRUSTAD bit which is equivalent, so applications can choose to request and trust the AD bit even if resolv.conf isn't configured to do so. However, that doesn't appear to be documented anywhere other than the header file and the NEWS file in the glibc distribution. Both RES_TRUSTAD and trust-ad were added in glibc 2.31 (released Feb 2020).

StrongForth (http://www.arestlessmind.org/2009/02/03/intro.html) is a statically typed Forth that checks (and requires!) the annotations. It traces how the stack changes after every operation, and guarantees that every function is passed the correct number and types of parameters, and leaves the correct parameters on the stack when it returns. It's impossible to underflow the stack, and overflows are as likely as in C/C++/etc.

To do this, there are some limitations on how the stack can be used compared to regular Forth. (For example, both sides of an IF/ELSE must leave the same number of items on the stack with the same types, but they can have different values. An IF without an ELSE can never change the depth of the stack or what types are on it, since the implicit, empty ELSE side says that the stack doesn't change.) This generally isn't a huge problem, as the things you can't do in StrongForth are usually not such a good idea from a maintenance perspective in regular Forths.

I worked in insurance for over five years. This is a very good read.

1. They keep costs down in part by pursuing home remedies for a lot of things instead of seeing a doctor. They have established sources of information and support for this practice.

2. When it comes to medical care, they are not Luddites and are willing to use cutting edge technologies to care for medical issues.

3. I was struck by the repeated mention of genetic disorders. It makes me wonder if this is a big issue in the Amish community. If so, one solution would be to encourage young people to marry outsiders, which is probably not encouraged as it tends to be a threat to the culture of groups like this. By I see it as extremely irresponsible to knowingly pursue practices that increase the odds of children being born with genetic disorders.

Neither Amish Hospital Aid nor congregational alms funding cover health care needs that result from prohibited activities within the Amish community. One interviewee mentioned an incident that occurred with a teenage boy in her congregation who was injured in a snowmobiling accident. The use of motor vehicles (e.g., cars, tractors, snow mobiles) is strictly forbidden in Old Order Amish culture.

This may sound harsh to some people, but all insurance policies have exemptions which (at least for accident policies) more or less boil down to "if you are behaving irresponsibly and get yourself hurt through taking undue risks, we are not paying for the consequences of your foolish behavior" -- only, you know, in legalese that is defensible in court if necessary.

I will note that as someone who processed accident claims, minors who lost limbs driving recreational vehicles like snow mobiles always broke my heart. If you have children and you own anything like a snow mobile, please make sure it is secured and they cannot go for a joy ride on Saturday morning while you sleep in.
When asking "why?" for something like this, follow the money. This one is pretty simple:

1. The ad is paid for already by someone.

2. To remove an ad, there needs to be a system to report it (or an automation).

3. To check that system, requires human effort.

4. The human effort to review ads likely costs more than the ad paid to be displayed.

5. The effort to minimize that cost costs more than the revenue lost by displaying bad ads.

6. etc.

Personally I value my time more than the $12/mo it costs to not see ads on YouTube.
This is one task that Dependabot excels at.

You can use a image like golang:1.20.1-alpine3.17@sha256:48f336ef8366b9d6246293e3047259d0f614ee167db1869bdbc343d6e09aed8a and be able to both see the version (human-parseable)and the hash (machine-parseable)

Dependabot will update both the version and hash parts of the tag in a pull request. Pretty magical if you ask me. I haven't found a way for it to auto-apply yet but Renovate can do it if you want automatic updates.

The people who make AI out to be great at writing are people who have never studied literature beyond high school and their own experiences with reading. Even the more complicated long form AI writing fails at subtext and does worse than than the average person with no real writing experience, it may be able to maintain plot but even genre fiction is more than plot.

I think AI is going to increase the importance of the agent and greatly expand the agents role. As of now the agent largely deals with writers who have established themselves on some level even if it is just a few published short stories. There is a massive gap in the market, the agent largely ignores anyone with no publishing history. AI is going to cause the publishing industry to put more on the agent, it will be their job to sift AI from human which will expand the agent's role to include authors who are just starting out.

Overall I think this is a good thing, it will provide much needed guidance for the writer who is just starting out, they will be able to get an agent from the get go and that agent's job will be to help the writer achieve their goals, it will force agents to take a longer term view and not just be middle men. Literature has largely lost the mentor/student relationship, this will force the agent to take up some of that, they will have to deal with the writer who is just starting out if they want to survive.
> I understand your point if you are speaking in literal terms about just simple cons cells, but in practical Lisp/Scheme code, you don’t really rely on just the basics to do things.

Agreed.

> So what about streams? Functions? Closures? Call/cc structures?

Those are interesting examples. They are all data structures in a sense (especially streams and closures), but to me they are more like functions than data (yes, yes, functions are values, blah, blah). Call/cc is a reification of execution control; thinking of it in terms of data stretches my brain.
> So … which country are they going to invade next?

The most obvious answers would be escalating their existing invasions of Georgia or Moldova the same way they escalated a pre-existing invasion of Ukraine. But its hard to see either of those while they are still bogged down in Ukraine, and anything beyond that is only even remotely credible if the Ukraine and Western resolve collapse.

With base64 you have around 6 bits per character. M$ edge max url length is shortest now at about 2038 characters. If you can drop support for edge, the next highest is Android browser at 8k. 8k characters gives you around 6000 bytes to encode into the URL. Unless your 2000 ints are utterly random and use the full spectrum of 4-8 byte integers, im sure you can find a way to compress them into 6000 bytes.

> Personally I value my time more than the $12/mo it costs to not see ads on YouTube.

I go back and forth on this. On the one hand, yeah, I value my time more than that amount of money. On the other hand, it would mean actively rewarding YouTube for being terrible, including making it a monetary positive for them to leave those kinds of ads up. As incentives go, that seems like a poor choice.
You have to define ‘worse’ because raw performance isn’t really everything and vscode’s popularity proves it.

Feature set and extensibility have clearly won here. At a certain performance point, it’s good enough and what you can do with it matters more.

I’m not sure you could achieve the sane flexibility in a more native, “bare-metal”, development environment. Possible, yes, but it would probably not be as successful as developing for it would be somewhat harder.

Vscode is “fast” enough. Its extensibility and its ecosystem are what makes it so popular and successful.

I’m not sure you can build the same without trade offs.

Oh hey, I worked on this a while back. At the end of 2021 I also did work for Teleport extending this same approach and applying it to Role-Based Access Control rules. This was interesting because it exercised Z3's string analysis capabilities, even checking regular expressions for equivalence: https://ahelwer.ca/post/2022-01-19-z3-rbac/

People get intimidated by the terms SMT or theorem prover but I want to emphasize this is actually a really simple process. Any time you have two sets of logical rules (often found in access control systems) you want to compare, translating them into Z3 is really quite easy. There are Z3 bindings in lots of languages, I used Python for the Teleport work: https://github.com/gravitational/rbac-linter

My friends and I have also used Z3 to solve various math puzzles. It's useful for checking whether a solution exists when you start modifying the puzzle to see how far you can push it. We used it for this puzzle, for example: https://www.nsa.gov/Press-Room/News-Highlights/Article/Artic...
