The glue isn’t used for water resistance, it’s primarily role is to bond the screen to the chassis, so the entire bonded unit forms a box structure . Which is an extremely strong and rigid structure, requiring very little material (hence the reason they’re used in construction all the time).

But getting that strong structure only works if you have good, continuous, bond between all sides of the box structure. Hence the use of glue. Replacing it with screws would require either a huge number of screws to achieve the same quality of bond as glue, or substantially thicker walls to make up for the poor bond between screen and chassis. Each screw then becomes giant stress riser, focusing all the forces applied to the device into the material around the screws.

You really get to have devices like a surface that very thin, with huge screens, without glue the screen to chassis, because the screen and its bond are crucial structural elements.
It's really hard to be sympathetic considering how rent and housing prices have exploded over the last 20 years and how difficult that's made life and future prospects for the average person.

Largest companies digging in the dirt creating the vast bulk of the world's lithium concentrates (prior to refining in Chima | Malaysia) are in Chile and Australia and all are listed on the Canadian Toronto TSX exchange.

Minerals and Resources rules for exchange listing are pretty tight with respect filing third party independant reports that assess mineral volumes and estimates, economic feasibility, environmental impact, and human rights etc.

While it's possible that some things are covered up in these relatively modern capital projects (eg: like conditions mining copper in PNG in days of yore leaving substantial impacts today) it's unlikely due to modern communications and the known fact that everything gets out and doesn't remain hidden - more so today than back when PNG was literally and figuratively obscured by clouds.

Austrlia is keeping clean, and you can knock yourself out looking into

Is "a" a sub-command of cp or is it data? Is "a" in the rm command data or a value for the -f flag?

Do you think repeatedly failing to achieve a goal that you may never have been able to in the first place is good for mental health? Getting people to believe some lie about how they can achieve anything might make you feel better, but it seems fundamentally dishonest; despite what we may wish, not all the children can be above average.

Thanks for the Wikipedia rabbit hole you sent me down.

I'm emerging with a fact check: the strings in Bittersweet Symphony were in point of fact a heavily reworked sample of a hook contained in an obscure 1960's symphonic version of "The Last Time". The hook and its melody does not appear anywhere in the Stones' original version.

Everyone eventually agreed The Verve got shafted and Jagger/Richards in the end showed magnanimity and moved to grant The Verve rights to the song.

I think there's a lot of truth in this. I worked for a startup that uses a functional language.

>Do you have a right to force me to build you a house?

Me ? No. Us, as a society, where we decide to ? Abso-fucking-lutely.

>Why would we have any nice housing at all in that situation? Why would anyone build it?

Nothing prevents you from putting in more money to make yourself the fancy house you've dreamed of. You can decide to give 300k to your favorite fancy house builder to have a prettier house than the plebs living in state housing. The US has the ACA, yet as far as I know the US still has private, higher quality hospitals. Turns out, making something a right doesn't mean "everyone has to have access to the best in class", but "has to have access to something which guarantees livable conditions."

>These silly things like "x is a human right" miss the point. At some point people have to take responsibility.

These silly "people have to take responsibility" talking points mostly shows that you have no regard for human life and would rather perpetuate suffering than provide something as basic as housing to people. Then again, since almost 100% of your post history in the past three months is about "oh no being a landlord is hard", it seems that you actively benefit from misery.

Once you've tried induction, going back to gas feels absolutely primitive.
related from Nassim Taleb: if in an expensive area you need too choose between a shoddy looking restaurant and a beautiful stylish one, go to the shoddy one, because probably the only reason it can survive in that area is that it has great food, the stylish one could survive just because people go there for the atmosphere.

In older texts, the <angle-brackets> convention was common, but became less so probably due the emergence of HTML. Nowadays, I most commonly see the $SHELL_VARIABLE convention. Man pages use UPPERCASE_ITALICS (or uppercase underlined on terminals).
And as a math student, I found myself using this as a strategy in reverse.

This is not hard to read.
The main novelty is pattern matching itself, which is making its way into languages that are used (java, javascript, etc) from languages that are interesting (Haskell, lisp, etc)

Take a look at this example from the text, which contains an obvious domain modeling error while demonstrating cool things:

def suit := algebraicDataMatcher
| spade
| heart
| club
| diamond

def card := algebraicDataMatcher
| card suit (mod 13)

def poker cs :=
match cs as multiset card with
| [card $s $n, card #s #(n-1), card #s #(n-2), card #s #(n-3), card #s #(n-4)]
-> "Straight flush"

This matches a new kind of poker hand called the "wrap around straight flush," where a straight can wrap around Q, K, A, 2, 3.

assertEqual "poker hand 1"
(poker [Card Spade 3, Card Spade 2, Card Spade 1, Card Spade 0, Card Spade 12])
"Straight flush"
TRUE

IOW, in their eagerness to demonstrate a really cool match on a mod 13 expression (something I haven't seen before), the author models the domain incorrectly.

It's also somewhat confusing that the cards are modeled as n-1 - ace=0, 2=1, 3=2, etc, which is also confusing. I tried for about 10 minutes to fix it, but the only notation documentation I found is math that is way over my head.
So strange what people choose to care about
OK, some context: it's a homegrown CRM used by sales, analytics and marketing departments + additional infrastructure services. We have a dedicated JIRA service desk just for it, with at least 1 dev always on call (because it's very buggy). All users learn how to open tickets during onboarding, so there's no need to find who to email. There's also direct communication between the team leads of CRM and other departments (+ monthly meetings). I agree that if we break their workflows it will waste everyone's time - that's why I'm not planning to make removals fully automatic without a human in the loop. The script's suggestions will have to be approved first. The thing is, during its 14 year course, there were added countless integrations that are long obsolete, features for very specific workflows which were asked by people who no longer work at the company, etc. Code was also written in a very brittle way ("big ball of mud"), so supporting all that code is a burden for the dev team - adding new features, or doing major refactorings to make code more robust, take much more time than it should be, because devs have to account for features no one actually uses. For example, currently there's a dev porting it to PHP8 and they have to go through every file to fix code which is broken by backward-incompatible changes in PHP8 - although some of that code is never actually called.

I now want to find out. Maybe one of those particle sensor units (the PM2.5 ones) could be used to measure this?

Confounding variables would include the type of solder used... What you are soldering onto... Ventilation... Etc...

Currently I just do all my soldering on the stovetop due to its extractor fan, being beside a window, smooth surface, ease of cleaning, good lighting, etc.
This describes a trivial way to improve your documentation, by simply just eliminating words like “easy” and “straightforward”.

I view it differently. It's not that papercuts don't matter, it's that people tolerate papercuts when there is no viable alternative. Glitchy software with maddening defects is evidence of lack of competition. If a competitor was to offer a product that didn't have the defects but was able to accomplish the same real goals, they'd quickly take over the market. Failing to fix these annoyances shows that you are not worried about competitors. Sometimes this is a good business strategy, sometimes it will be your downfall.

So what you are saying is that we should allow people with bad intentions the ability to influence politicians monetarily (literally bribery), so the few morsels of good money that can buy any influence may have a chance to also be considered for inclusion?

Edit: I see your point wrt alternative bribery schemes existing, and isn't the solution perhaps for those schemes to also be shut down, instead of allowing it because some good might come of it?

Hmmmm, it's difficult not to assume you are yourself a lobbyist or politician if you take this position, given that the coffers of those with ill intent are vastly more lined than the alternative...

> Why don’t we band together, mass produce 2500 nuclear plants that are at least as large, and make an actual difference.

Because the same climate activists who keep harping on the "climate crisis" and successfully push policies like in OP, are also irrationally opposed to nuclear energy.

Since these folks are calling the shots, we're heading into an energy crisis in which:

1. More and more demand is placed on our power grid due to moves like banning natural gas for heating.

2. This same power grid is rendered less and less capable and reliable due to being increasingly based on unreliable energy sources like wind and solar.

I think it depends on the state as well as contractual agreements. It's amazing how many rights you can legally sign away or minimize via contract law, largely to the benefit of those writing the contracts and not those signing contracts.

Simply relabeling or reclassifying the use of something and having agreement to those uses to pass liability of "misuse" when both parties are aware of actual and intended use goes a long way as well.

So many ways to pass liabilities and rights. The more society evolves, the less business is about providing or creating any sort of new value and more about optimizing away risk, costs, and any other potential liabilities while capturing as much actual value from the deal as possible in the process.

In theory, competition "regulates" this away. Some other landlord who provides a better value or service will clearly succeed over less value-add services to the consumer. In practice, the amount of choice, finite limitations of the best service providers, and often sheer complexity anymore of determining which amongst a set of options is actually best to the consumer seems to make this a non-starter. It allows a lot of abuse on the provider side to provide little-to-nothing and a continuous supply of new consumers to abuse should previous consumers become wiser and move on.
Idk how you can conclude it's a problem with the concept of private fields when the giant shiner is Proxy not reflecting on them like you'd expect.

It's borederline clickbait, or selfbait, as the author believes they've contributed to the ever shuffling stinky pile of hot takes that exist in the web world.

It's really not as exciting to say Proxy, a niche class, than saying there's a problem with a concept of something every day, like private fields.

I doubt the vast majority of you have any experiene with Proxy, but OOP? Im sure you've brooded on a few hottakes about that in your careers.

it's kind of a trade off. i've definitely found it to be a pain in the ass to rent in places with strong tenant's rights.

On the other hand, I've also lived in a town with very weak tenant's rights. When the heater broke one winter, the landlord's solution was to give me 6-8 space heaters and tell me to leave them on 24/7. Since these technically kept the temperature above 68 degrees, he had no legal obligation to do anything more.
That is a policy problem: we make it hard to build housing in the areas of high demand. There is nothing inherent in landlording that says a power differential needs to exist. The low-demand areas, renters have way more power.
Banks being too big to fail is a bit common sense unfortunately. We cannot let our financial infrastructure implode as the damage will be much more severe than some inflation.

> And if the entire question of banks too big to fail want even a talking point in 2004, how was I voting on that?

The question is who caused them to fail, and did you vote for anybody that had anything to do with it? This event started in 1994 and didn’t really end until near 2012. You probably voted a few times in that timeframe.
I disagree, I live in western Europe, France, and the situation is unfortunately very US-like, people care a lot about their cars

>It’s why a lot of artists can’t continue to make great music. They’ve exhausted their unique style and are unable to progress it further or cultivate a coherent successor style.

I'm not sure it's that they "exhausted their style", as often even after a band stars making duds, other bands can continue to make great new music in the same style.

And for many bands the style wasn't really "theirs" or unique to begin with (e.g. it was typical rockabilly or garage rock stuff or techno or whatever), but those bands did made some good tunes before they started to making duds.

It's more about the ability to write good or bad songs, than about the style still having "unexmplored" corners. People can write good new song in the most established styles and manners - including good new traditional-sounding folk, blues, gospel, etc.

I think for bands that stop making good music, it's more that they exhausted their own inspiration, rather than exhausting the potential of their (unique or not) style.

And usually also that other stuff, like addiction, animosity between members, boredom, middle age concerns, despiriting lack of money/success (or too much money/success to focus on music), came into play.

And yet just here in this article someone asked how it compares to a recent hash implementation that offers non-power of two tables and uses modulo if you let it do that, and I have seen many other recent hash table implementations do so.

But that is also not the only issue: If you use powers of two and resort to bitwise and to pick the bucket, you're even more dependent on a good hash function, which may be impossible to guarantee if implementinf APIs that let the user choose hash function as in the article.

Unless you follow the suggestion in this article and uses this method to pick buckets.
Well the ubiquity of it doesn't make it any less true.
Even worse, it came at the expense of other things.

Records and tuples for example aren’t controversial. They are primitives and therefore solve a few quirks that come from objects. They should also radically improve performance because users can’t change types or add/remove properties causing less optimized lookups.

Instead, all that time went into a controversial feature that has made things worse without solving any real issues either.
