I'd characterize this asymmetry (convenient shortcut IN, standard export OUT) as a predictable, transparent, minor annoyance -- not a "dark pattern" representing deceptive or unethical practices.
The article doesn't say that Booz's contract lets them keep the lottery fees--do they?
I don't agree and your answer kind of proves my point. They themselves don't have any responsibility, and they're not contributing anything to the society, yet they're the class that everyone defends and everyone pays for. Also if you're a registered homeless person they you're eligible for free food.

> You get the same problem with Rust's Result btw

How? Take the easy example, "clowns" is a string that's supposed to be an small integer. How do I get this wrong in Rust? We have to say what we want to happen when it won't parse which isn't ignoring it.

let clowns: u16 = clowns.parse(); // Won't compile

If we say we believe this won't happen we can express that, but when it does happen the program panics...

let clowns: u16 = clowns.parse().unwrap(); // Panics if clowns doesn't parse as a u16

We can say what we actually want to happen, but how is that the same problem?

let clowns: u16 = clowns.parse().unwrap_or(1629); // OK it's 1629 if it won't parse

Finally we can write the C-style "Nothing will go wrong" attitude using unsafe, but I don't see that as a problem, if your first instinct is to reach for unsafe Rust you're a bad programmer

let clowns: u16 = unsafe { clowns.parse.unwrap_unchecked() }; // Mark Baum says "Boom".
The future is not that scary. Our path to it is, though.

Feels like AI is prompting some sort of tech consolidation pattern getting ready for the "next phase". But there are risks associated with an ever-narrowing set of tech providers, e.g., if this goes in the direction of enhancing lock-in and/or your tech provider becoming your competitor.

The more general (and in some sense gratuitous and unnecessary) risk is the carte-blanche of big tech to pursue any and all business models that are digitally based (e.g. adtech) in any combination they see fit.

Creating and enforcing clear rules about who does what with what responsibilities and liabilities etc would help explore that exciting but also very risky AI enabled "next phase" of IT without constantly second guessing what is really going on and what disasters it might be stoking...

Negative. In America, the labels set their prices, this was first brought to focus by Coca Cola. They had an issue where the stores were driving the price higher to increase margins. Coca Cola started the five cent advertising campaign where they set the price. You can see this with bread items here, they place the price on the bag / sticker / wrapping technology.

There was a push by the stores to allow them to discard what the manufacturer set the price to, but the courts said no to that. This was the appliance manufacturers effort.

Why the profit margins, governments make is so hard to compete with the established players through regulatory compliance, the incumbents can. I have not seen increased profits in my business, and I had to increase the prices. That was done because of input costs. The manufacturers may be making more because they have found costs savings due to input prices going down Or they increased prices to factor in future increases
Artificial intelligence does not need to actually be intelligent, it just needs to seem to be.

It's literally what artificial means.

The code that controlled the paddle in pong? Also AI.

(If it ever actually becomes sapient it will be a synthetic intelligence, rather than artificial.)
Those of us in RL are the cockroaches of AI

We just keep plugging along knowing that embodied control MDPs are the true path to AGI

This particular incarnation of the problem is a thing because this is actually not (standards-compliant) JS. This is a direct consequence of people infecting everything with non-standard NodeJS-isms (or NodeJS-inspired isms).

Of course they don't admit this, duh.
> Most would think that to be excessive.

But is it?

Alternatively, provide two values and select whichever is higher e.g. "30€ or 1 day", this method is common with corporate crimes (e.g. "1 million or 1.5% global revenue", that sort of things). Even if you're on the low end of incomes a day in jail would hurt a lot for a parking fine.
They kind of need to be there anyway, physically maintaining servers turns out to be a miniscule part of the whole maintenance. If you really care about uptime you still need people on-call who can intervene as necessary.

It's not really the same spot in that your paying monthly rather than upfront. Devs tend to think about total $, the business/accountants do care about Opex vs Capex.

Also it's going to be simpler to provision your base (commited use) on the cloud and then handle bursts on the cloud, than it is to have your base on prem and burst to the cloud.

All those RP2040 hacks are impressive (HDMI, etc) but also suggest that the RP2040 is just slightly underpowered for many practical applications. I hope some cheap RISC-V MCU unbound by ARM licensing constraints (with Atomic ops+SIMD, unlike Cortex-M0) comes soon.
My family has spent the last few billion years reproducing only if they found nonexistence unimaginable or terrifying. While I am one of them, and while I try to not blame myself for it, I resent the amount of time I spend considering how I feel about this, how I will feel the moment I die, and how many times more I will anxiously consider this between now and then.

On the other hand, I hope to giggle when I realize how similar dying is to falling asleep. Each day, I am no more.

I think my inclination towards digital hoarding is, at least in part, a refutation of my mortality and as close to the singularity as I will ever get.
I think AGP or Quicksilver G4s are nice for that use case. They have lots of ports and stuff for expansion, their RAM is easier to get than pre-G3 EDO DIMMs, they can have decent GPUs. I would avoid MDDs, they run very hot and have very noisy fans.

I have a soft spot for the 9600, which can take PCI cards for things like USB or SATA, but their RAM modules are hard to get and their CPUs are very slow. I would also avoid anything older than that, except if you really like the hardware. It’s very difficult to find NuBus expansion cards.
That was my first reaction too. However, unlike the no-SQL monstrosities (like Mongo), this one seems to sit on top of a proper relational database, plus it seems to follow all the ol' good data modelling logic, just in a modern ish way, so I think it looks promising.

I'm not going to switch all my clients to it next week :) But it is definitely on my radar.
Battle of the Beasts: Apache Pulsar vs. Apache Kafka
I never said or implied that, I only think that such defensive parents are more likely to justify everything they do with their "being a parent is so hard" attitude, so much that they probably think corporal punishment is fine as long as it makes their jobs easier.

Nice attempt at a strawman, though.
Just here to note that there are several huge problems with this approach from an actual security standpoint:

First is that this changes from 2-factor authentication (something you have plus something you know) to single-factor (just something you have).

Also be sure to notice in the article that they have changed their term there to 2-STEP authentication, not 2-FACTOR authentication, these are not the same thing, and they know that. It's important that you know the difference too if you want any kind of real security. If you use passkeys plus an authentication code app, then you have 2-steps (for whatever that's worth) but not 2-factors since they are both just a piece of code on your device, if they are both on the same device, that's even less secure since they can both be compromised at the same time, and in practice they will be.

Second is that the now single factor authenticator is strictly worse than a password because it is something that can be taken away from you and manipulated without your permission.

Third is that the keys are not private since the passkey provider is storing them for you and/or copying them around. This means they can be spied on, stolen, or demanded by the government, all without you even knowing someone else got access to your stuff.

The last glaring issue I can see for the time being is that it relies on a simple, easily cracked unlock pin, or worse still fingerprint/facial recognition bio-metrics as the only way to keep someone, other than Google, out.

One might be tempted to think facial recognition or fingerprints are pretty good security but it's already been demonstrated that people can break those mechanisms quickly and the cops can and will use your fingerprint and/or mug shot to unlock your phone if it's locked by biometrics only. They are not allowed to force you to give your real password, but the courts do allow them to use any means they like to break into your phone. Even if they damage it in the process, they just have to pay you back for it, they still get to take your data and use it against you.

Just some things to keep in mind before anyone gets too excited about this "new" invention. There's a reason we still have passwords even though we've had Smart ID Cards (such as DoD's CAC system https://www.cac.mil/) and other device driven access controls for decades now.
Jokes aside, I can think of a couple of differences:

- For the longest time, languages with typed (“checked”) exceptions lacked any parametric polymorphism worth a damn. That made the typing... less than optimally useful, especially with fallible callbacks. Sum types can borrow all that from the existing language, and you’d feel intensely awkward if you tried to go with untyped errors there (it’s of course still possible, through Dynamic or interface{} or whatever Rust’s thing is).

Though looking at the boilerplate fest that is the latest Rust (sum-types-based) error handling article posted here[1], I’m not entirely convinced the situation has improved. Perhaps open union types of some sort really are needed? That’s where the algebraic-effects languages seem to be going, anyway.

- Exceptions are more strict about what you can do with them: you can return or you can bind, monadically speaking. If an exception was raised, everything stops until it’s caught. With sum types (concrete ones, not an abstract error monad you can’t run), you are allowed to have several propagation chains at once and manipulate them as data. The lack of that additional flexibility is what makes exceptions (more cheaply?) implementable in terms of stack unwinding.

(Traditionally, stack unwinding is thought of as expensive, but I don’t really see why. Sure SJLJ-induced register spills are bad, and sure table-based unwinding is slow as hell, but a linked list of frames as in Win32 SEH[2] has to be cheaper than the same thing implemented as conditional jumps in every unwinding path, right? Right? I must be missing something here, expired Borland patent aside.)

- Concrete sum types cannot implement resumable exceptions[3], as far as I can tell. I’m almost sure an abstract error monad could, but for some reason I have never seen it done. Besides, working with that is going to require more syntactic support than what you’ve shown. (Yes, I know, such syntactic support is possible to implement and has in fact been implemented.)

"we're building [a social network called] co-host"
"on modern social media, there is an ever-present fear that someone will see your post, have their own bad faith interpretation, and decide to ruin your day over it."

Reddit has no such algorithm and people ruin each others' days on the reg.
The problem is that we are now in the golden age of Web services, where everything is headless and controlled via API, so the business logic plugging all those APIs need to live somewhere.

Naturally it could be a single container taking care of all those integrations.
To be fair it is somewhat a punching bag example but I think what people are reacting to, but maybe not articulating well, is the presumption for microservices by the powers-that-be.

Of course the only rational take on monoliths versus microservices is "use the right tool for the job".

But systems design interviews, FAANG, 'thought leaders', etc basically ignore this nuance in favour of something like the following.

Question: design pastebin (edit, I of course mean a URL shortener not pastebin)

Rational first pass but wrong Answer: Have a monolith that chucks the URL in the database.

Whereas the only winning answer is going to have a bunch of services, separate persistence and caching, a CDN, load balancing, replicas, probably a DNS and a service mesh chucked in for good measure.

I think this article shows that this is training and producing people who can't even think of the obvious first answer they have been so thoroughly indoctrinated.
> All Smartphones on this planet use the same USB-C charging port except iPhones. And as far as I remember, the European Union requires the manufacturers by law to use USB-C, because before the law every phone came with a different power adapter.

The law you're talking about here specified that the charger itself must have a standard USB-C port. Apple gets away with it because 1. they don't even bundle a charger anymore, and 2. they ship a cable that allows the phone to be connected to a USB-C charger (Lightning to USB-C cable).

The new law that takes effect some time in 2024 for smartphones (amongst other devices) stipulates that the port on the smart device must be USB-C. Under this new law, essentially if a device is large enough then the port must be USB-C.

> Next example, OS and browsers: Every Operating System has to offer the user the choice of which browser they want to use. Except for Apple, they offer a choice of which UI you want to use, but on iOS the browser engine is always Safari (which kills competition hard on iOS devices).

Another new EU law (the Digital Markets Act) takes aim at this specific issue actually.

I get where you're coming from, and yeah sure one could argue that giants like Apple, Google, Microsoft should do better, but in the end they are corporations who will do what is best for their shareholders, as such I am not in the least surprised over actions they take like the ones discussed in your comment and the article that started this discussion.

I think it's great that governmental regulation is finally coming to set the game rules for things like how general purpose operating systems must allow device owners the ability to install their own software (including real actual browsers with their own engines and everything), how communication apps must support cross-network communication upon request, and to standardise how we charge our smart devices.
This article is so full of obvious false information, the most important is: "OpenGL ES 2.0 was the same as OpenGL 3.3, somehow."

VAO is the final GL feature.

There is no point to use anything other than OpenGL (ES) 3+ for eternity.

Copying the wheel over and over is the trap.
In theory yes, but that doesn't work well on github actions for example. The cache layering seems quite bad there for some reason.
That is an excellent suggestion although obviously needs a minimum amount because a fair number of cars being driven around have a cash value close to zero.
AHK was my go to solution for the longest time, and I had some amazing shortcuts, but I often struggled with writing more complex scripts because of the language not working the way I wanted it to. I might try again now.

> Printed has obviously declined, but the quantity of local information has vastly increased thanks to Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Flickr, hyperlocal news sites, etc.

Unlike print media, internet sites are not required to submit their material to Library of Congress or similar government-run archives all over the world that have requirements on archival, durability and whatnot. Twitter used to have a firehose feed to LoC but IIRC it got discontinued years ago.

And that doesn't even touch the question of integrity - it's hard enough to vet actual local news sources if they're authentic (there was a scandal some years ago about a lot of "content mills" from the Balkans), and outright impossible with local bloggers, Nextdoor or whatever.
well, they have no incentive to not make you pay for CPU time on your application startup
(disclaimer: author here) I have haven't used Erlang/Elixir/OTP so I won't be able to answer to your question.

The goal of the framework is to build a data processing pipeline with relatively big tasks, we only have to process tens or hundreds of messages per seconds. Some are CPU intensive and can last 30 seconds. Other tasks are IO intensive.
Xlib is actually somewhat easier to use than xcb. Xcb however has better support for asynchronous operation. In case of xterm this wouldn't help latency much but would greatly improve throughput.

Micro-services is BS invented by cloud providers to solve problems you don’t have at 10x the cost.

No, the checksum just moves to UDP; in the current system, the UDP checksum is set to 0. This is not allowed in UDP/IPv6, where the checksum, calculated over both the IPv6 pseudo-header and the UDP payload, must usually be set.
If you care primarily about the financial impact of jail, then that would be an argument for the opposite of what you suggest: A rich person is likely to be less affected by the loss of a days income than a poor person, and so if the financial value of the time spent in jail was all that mattered then rich people ought to be imprisoned longer for the same crime, not shorter.

Since the financial impact is not the main consideration of jail time, it shouldn't be major factor.

With respect to children, children whose parents are imprisoned are more at risk of future problems, and so irrespective of other considerations it may well be preferable to society to take it into account.
Ordinals are hard to grasp for people that know the standard school curriculum, know about countability and uncountable sets, cardinality, and the basic properties and arithmetic of cardinality.

I don't know why would it be hard for people that haven't been familiarized with a similar but different concept?
Imagine a government with eleven citizens, ten of which earn a thousand dollars a year and pay 50% income tax on each dollar, while the eleventh earns one million dollars a year and pays just 10% income tax on each dollar. If the government then spends every tax dollar on building a road, that road has been ~95% paid for by one citizen and ~5% paid for by the other ten. It’s quite possible in principle for the wealthiest people to pay a lower tax rate than poorer people, yet still contribute disproportionately to public funds. (In fact something like this dynamic is indeed happening in most Western countries, the top 1% usually account for more than one third of total tax dollars paid.)
Possibly, but let’s not lose sight of the goal, which is to get people to drive less. There is no solution to this problem that allows everyone to keep driving the same amount as they always have! It may seem unfair that a small number of sufficiently wealthy people do not have to change their behavior, but enjoying privileges that are not available to most people is what it means to be wealthy. And in the meantime, the rest of us can console ourselves by remembering that if only rich people drive because only they can afford it, at least they are bearing the full cost of it, and hopefully the money they pay will go to something all of us benefit from.
Why China’s Censors Are Deleting Videos About Poverty
Singapore includes a demerit points system for some driving offences. Under this system, a driver "who accumulates 24 or more demerit points within 24 months will be suspended for a period of 12 weeks." [1]

So while richer people may not be hurt as much by the fines, they are more at risk of being suspended from driving if they repeat the offending behaviour within a certain time period.
