> > but the Republicans have been trying to kill USPS for decades

> A little disingenuous.

No, it's 100% true. I'm not a Democrat by any means and I'm in fact highly critical of the Democrats. But if you look at the history of laws proposed/passed with regards to the USPS, there's absolutely no ambiguity that the Republicans are trying to kill the USPS. This has nothing to do with spending, either: the USPS has not been funded by taxpayer dollars since 2006, with the exception of the 2022 bailout. After 2006, the USPS operated profitably for a few years, but Republicans have passed regulations which prevent the USPS from operating profitably, leading for the need for the 2022 bailout.

This isn't about debt or spending, and it isn't a matter where both parties are the same. I'm not a Democrat, and I don't even like Democrats, but the USPS' funding issues are unambiguously and intentionally caused by Republicans.

He says they shouldn't mix it "with OTHER commercial music" not as in "because hip hop is not commercial music", but because hip-hop, while still commercial music, has its own rules regarding copying or sampling parts of songs.
Agreed. I've submitted PRs removing the word "simple" from docstrings. If you find yourself writing "This is a simple wrapper around...", what you meant to write is "This is a wrapper around...".

When I read the OP's example rewrite ("Calling the Mailer") I find his rewrite to be far less patronizing than the original.

Ironically, the original one -- with all of the supposedly "offensive" copy -- reads like it was meant for babies.

I'm not offended by that, it's just annoying and distracting. His rewrite is remarkably better.
Totally agree. I feel the same about private jets. Most of them are too small for a tall person like myself to stand up in.

I'll take "taking your car to go at gym and run on indoor machines" for $400.

I'm 72, and I run dirt trails. I find running on asphalt uncomfortable on my joints, and dangerous unless you can find pedestrian-only paved trails. Concrete is even worse to run on. (And running treadmills is incredibly boring, so I'm not actually answering the original question.)

At one point, I had a trail starting from my back yard, but where I live now the nearest dirt trail of any length is a couple miles away. So I drive to the trailhead. Similarly for dirt bike riders who want to ride on dirt, I suppose.

Why not ride my (road) bike to the trailhead? There are some narrow roads (as in no shoulder) between here and there. (FWIW, I drive an EV.)

A lot of people (me included) thought this series was dire for Ding after watching him get crushed a few days ago by his opponent Nepo where Ding visibly froze and was in a state of total mental disarray after he couldn't decide on his move, wasted a ton of time, and ended up making a bad move anyways.

Commenters said that this was Nepo's strength, even if he doesn't make the absolute greatest move he makes a good enough move relatively quickly compared to his competition and we saw the advantage of that play out.

But ironically that game being successful for Nepo's fast style might've cost him the championship in the end as he tried to replicate the time pressure on Ding every game after to pretty poor results. He might've done better if he didn't get such a dramatic victory that game.
So the legislature amended it, not the governor. Why is the governor getting the blame then? The governor could say whatever they want, the legislature could have just sent it back as is with the override of the veto. It is mind boggling that the legislature changed anything in a bill with a super majority.
For what it's worth, these kind of manufacturer errors are very rare these days. Most PCs people build just work right away. And everyone involved is almost certain to get their full money back.

I know how that ends: "Hey Siri, set the pinecil temperature to 260 degrees C", "The pinecil temperature is now set to 396 degrees celsius.", "Aaaaargh. Hey Siri, switch off the pinecil NOW!", "I don't know about that, let me search that on the web".

Awesome project though!
I think of subtype polymorphism and dynamic dispatch as two different things, but maybe I'm misunderstanding something here.

Subtyping/inheritance is sometimes convenient, but inheritance tends to be a constrictive way to reuse code that increases cognitive load. If B is a subtype of A, now, not only are the data of B coupled to the behavior of A, but the data or behavior of B _may or may not_ be coupled to A depending on whether B overrides A. More coupling. More cognitive load. And if you change A, you have to be careful that you don't break B. Then if you have C that's a subtype of B, then the cognitive load and possibility of unexpected breakage gets even higher. Ugh. No. I'm a simple-minded person. I don't want to think about stuff like that.

I see dynamic dispatch simply as a form of delegation, which can easily be accomplished functionally.

So, ultimately, again, I see these benefits as being _convenient_ but not _necessary_. And since all design decisions are trade-offs, I look at the downsides of the coupling and find that the trade-offs are simply not worth it.

I wish people would stop conflating "simple" and "easy".

Git's core internals are simple but using it is not easy. Simple things can have very complex implications. If an API is too simple, you have to build complex things on top to make it work for you.

Python is easy for beginners but it isn't a simple language. In fact, it belongs to the more complicated ones. Making something easy usually requires a lot work.
That is only true in an equilibrium.

To many people, me included, "more chords" doesn't mean more interesting. Better melody, lyrics, rhythm, playing, etc. does. You can do wonders with 3 or 4 chords, some of the best music is written that way and doesn't need modulation or other things musos care about to be great. Heck, you can wonders with one chord and a drone note.

This is a great example of the corporate-controlled matrix we live in:

>In 2016, they presented a skeptical Smokey Robinson with the idea of a national holiday centered around the Temptations’ 1964 classic “My Girl,” which Robinson co-wrote. “He looked at us like we were crazy,” Lowenberg remembers. “We just asked him, ‘Do you like the idea? Because if you do, challenge accepted.’” Robinson announced the first-ever “Father-Daughter Day” on October 8, 2017, along with lullaby renditions of “My Girl.”

Yet when you look at the origin on Wikipedia, it claims:

> The U.S. holiday was originally conceived by Smokey Robinson to honor his relationship with his only daughter. [1]

And the reference used points directly back to PrimaryWave's press release. The claim that Smokey conceived the holiday was originally made unattributed. But later the attribution was added to point to the press release. Yet the press release doesn't even support Smokey conceiving it, just announcing it.

How much other stuff do we "celebrate" [2] just because some corporations wanted to leverage intellectual property? yet if I argue this, it sounds like I'm against father-dather relationships... brilliant! BTW, i'm trying to update the wikipedia article but can't remember my login details...

I assume you have a counterpoint to the decades of data the NYSE, SEC, Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission and others around the world have collected that show naked shorting improves liquidity without FTDs negatively impacting price discovery while tamping volatility, evidence made particularly robust by the fact that naked shorting is permanently banned, and has been temporarily banned, in many markets, such as Australia, Switzerland and, for some stocks post crisis, in the United States?

Do you really believe that homeownership is for everyone? It’s not. Hell, it is not for some of my friends in tech. You’ve got a lot to maintain, a lot of work to do, a lot to keep track of. That either means money, or pretty broad DIY skills. That’s not for everyone. It’s definitely not (at least right away) for someone who has perhaps not had the opportunity to experience homeownership via their parents.

>Otherwise this is just making dev life easier on the cost of their users.

Not necessarily so, I'm expecting removal of dead code will enable faster delivery of new features, and also enable easier refactorings to make code more robust, because the dev team won't have to take unused features into consideration. The code we inherited is very complex and very brittle, so adding something often breaks something else and devs spend way too much time figuring out all the interdependencies. A major complaint is that the dev team doesn't deliver fast enough.
Finding and dominating a niche is the best business strategy.

UK regulators block Microsoft's Activision Takeover

Yes. I am not against data hiding. I love data hiding. My comment was not related to data hiding. It's simply pointing out that this kind of unexpected complexity seems to always come up in OOP in my experience.
You did not watch the full video.

First, the only "overclocking" happening is the enabling of EXPO, which is similar to an XMP profile from Intel. It's not really overclocking. Also, it is not supposed to modify the voltage values seen. Also, one of the failed systems did not have EXPO on at all.

Second, this is a failure on multiple levels:

* Failure of over-temperature protections

* Failure of over-current protections

* A motherboard shoving current into a CPU which clearly is dead (or at the least not booted) because it has not sent a "power good" signal.

* The motherboard setting voltages for vSOC that are way beyond AMD's recommended specs

* The motherboard setting the voltage for vSOC well beyond what it shows in the BIOS (ie, you think you're getting 1.3V, actually getting 1.4V+)

The video explains that this is a serious failure of several motherboard manufacturers, though primarily ASUS. It's also a failure of AMD to have more stringent requirements on its partners.
I think it’s commonly understood in the JS community: If you modify a library property with an underscore, you are on your own.

Adding a broken feature that was widely criticized for years (more than any other JS feature before it was added — including type coercion) just so some maintainers don’t have to tell users no about one particular thing isn’t a great idea.

It’s even less of a great idea when you consider that modules exist. Add a variable without marking it for export and you’re good to go.
British Airways had a famous advertising campaign that did something similar. If I remember correctly they used a digital billboard somewhere in London that showed a little boy pointing to the sky. The text refreshed throughout the day to display the details of the flight passing overhead.

and

> [Low-impact, high-visibility stuff like that is done because] it's way easier than making a real dent in the underlying problem

If you'll pardon the mixed metaphors: When it comes to environmental stuff, a lot of the time, the low-hanging fruit isn't worth picking because the high-hanging fruit is the thing that's the immediate wildfire hazard.
The focus on group outcomes as opposed to efficacy of the discipline is a sign of a sick culture. Groups are fighting over spoils instead of working to solve hard problems and push humanity forward. Ironically, it’s a complacency enabled by those who came before and didn’t have as much concern over the racial / gender / etc makeup of an industry. They succeeded to such a degree our society can afford to waste entire careers in the name of equity.

Related concepts: The Brown M&M’s Principle (Papercuts could be perceived as indicators of overall quality). Broken Window Theory (Papercuts may communicate poorer quality is acceptable).

Great match by Ding and Ian both, and I honestly think Ding deserves the win in the end.

I think Ian got a bit too results oriented and pragmatic towards the end of the match, playing too imprecisely and quickly in key positions and always a little too happy with a draw. Ding was just playing chess.

And as often happens in chess, this ended up being the decisive psychological factor. Ian, going for a repetition, And Ding says no, let's play. This seemed to shock Ian so much that he was unable to find the correct moves. Ding was ruthless and punished his mistakes, showcasing his superior calculation(at least in that moment) and concentration.

Once the code isn’t being continuously integrated, it will quickly stop compiling if you restore from vcs. Leaving endpoints in the codebase but intercepting calls and returning deprecation errors like your predecessors did is a nice middle-ground. Leave that running for as long as the stakes and usage patterns demand, then delete.

As others say- not suggesting you don’t delete. Delete is the best refactoring! Sounds like you’re already doing the sensible extra work of chasing consumers to check endpoints really aren’t used under any circumstances.

It would be great if consumer-driven contracts were more widely adopted, so we could move more confidently when deleting stuff. It’s a constant source of annoyance in large orgs how quickly we lose track of dependencies. Keeping visibility of lineage and dependencies has a great payoff if you can build it in from the start.
So using your "evidence" which is another citationless Hacker News post:

> Agreed that 1% of the United States' 28% of global CO2 emissions is negligible in the grand global scheme.

This is incredibly ignorant of the "death by 1000 cuts" issue of climate change. 1% or 28% of global CO2 emissions, if this statistic is even true, is huge. Very few climate change interventions are this effective.

The more effective climate change interventions include strict supersets of this, like "banning all new fossil fuel construction", which, if implemented in the US, still only gets you a few percentage points on the larger problem, and would get much greater pushback from people who don't care about climate change and will always cite government overreach for any regulation.

What do you think would be a non-negligible difference? Do you even believe in human-caused climate change? I'll be happy to provide more, real citations, but it's hard to tell what level of burden of proof I should be taking on if I don't know what you think I need to prove.
