they're providing free speech as far as the government allows them is what Musk committed to.

this is not Twitter's fault. this is the Turkish government.
You're overthinking this. "Lifetime" is just a new word for: no monthly costs, buy once, use forever (= as long as your device and OS supports this software), just like it was for almost all software from 1990-2010.

But since everything is now a subscription, we need a new term that signals "one-off payment".

The confusing part is whether or not the devs must provide a lifetime of updates, which is unlikely, but also an unreasonable expectation.

Hence, lifetime means: buy once, use as long as you have a device that supports the software, get all updates for free, as long as the developers keep providing updates. Could stop tomorrow, could stop in 10 years, when they announce a new app. Depends on the developer.
If the skyscrapers stay below required occupancy rates for too long the CRE securitisations they collateralize will default and they will become (mostly) bank property.

The new owners will try to offload them to the highest bidder. So I forecast an active second hand skyscraper auction market (with the usual lemon problems).

What will be the price? Well if people don't need and/or don't want to work in those places anymore, the price will be determined by the next best use.

For a low enough price I could imagine artist colonies turning them into cavernous post-modern studios where the sky-high rise and precipitous fall of a particular way of living and working will be documented with great artistic sensibility.
When alpha particles are stopped by anything, secondary x-rays are created. I wonder if airport x-ray machines are sensitive enough to pick that up.
Jesth is like a broken INI file parser that can only split a document into sections (each section consists of a header and a body which is just a list of strings).

Now, on top of that, I can write a hack to convert an arbitrary section to a dictionary data structure (provided the body of that section is written with a specific syntax designed for my hack).

I made this hack and included it in the Jesth library, so people can use it, much like the Python standard library is just there to help people not waste time rewriting the same algorithms for common tasks.

Jesth would be like JSON which is only about data. CUE, Dhall and Jsonnet jump on top of JSON to add some cool stuff.

I used Jesth for example to design a docstring markup language (consumed [1] by a documentation generator), as well as a scripting language [2].

I will soon publish a simple data validation mechanism for Jesth dict-sections (sections intended to be converted into a dictionary data structure). It might inspire people to create a more complex data validation or data constraint language on top of Jesth. This could be more readable than what is done elsewhere.

Generally if you specify the list of clobbers tightly and don’t spoil memory things can end up mostly reasonable.
Ok, and what European city (greater metro area mind you) would you think is a good comparison?
Amex doesn't count - they run their own system end to end and charge retailers stupidly high fees. That's why most retailers don't take them.

As for rewards on MC and Visa, which card are you on? In my experience, either the rewards are very small, or they are for specific retailers only, where the Bank has done a deal directly with the merchant. Occasionally they are a loss leader for the bank, working on the principle that you are

The article is wrong about the UK capping interchange fees. Removing the EU cap was one of the first EU rules that the government decided to abolish after Brexit. At one point it meant you weren't going to be able to use a Visa card with Amazon, you'd have to switch to Mastercard.
It's probably that photons always propagate at c and that the apparent change of speed of light in glass is caused by photon absorption and delayed reemission by atoms (at least it's how perturbation theory of quantum electrodynamics describes the process).

What is the difference with credit cards? Just recently YouTube charged me 10 times for something and drained my credit card. My bank was clueless and explained I get the money back within 4 weeks. Only because YouTube doesn't suck so bad I got the money back within a few days.

I never paid for anything on YouTube. Nobody ever explained how that could happen
The author is right on at least one point, we do not really have fascism in the west right now, it's only protofascism. Even the Italian 'postfascism' is in fact proto-fascism.

Its quite easy to notice if you read enough political books of the early 20th century, and compare them to current day nationalists/supremacists.

They don't have finished ideas. They don't have much ideas at all to be honest. It's mostly stupidity without a plan or vision. Their books (not a lot of them tbh) are either plain and dumb rehash of 1930s books, or interesting rehash of 1890s ideas (hello Renaud Camus, if you want, I know other books you can leech of, send me a message!).

I think they're just a tool to get political power.

That's great. Will check it out
The shooter was wearing a "RWDS" patch. The same seen on several proud boys. The shooting followed convictions of proud boys related to January 6th the week before. Shortly afterwards this came in the news:

> A bulletin was sent by the FBI to law enforcement agencies about Garcia and that "an initial review and triage of the subject's social media accounts revealed hundreds of postings and images to include writings with racially and ethnically motivated violent extremist rhetoric, including neo-Nazi material and material espousing the supremacy of the white race." [0]

Up until that bulletin my news was mostly dominated by criticism of gun policies. Other speculation centered on the dead shooter's tattoos (some were seen in images from the scene), a mugshot of a man with the same name [1], and possible gang/cartel affiliations.

Apple II Vapor Lock and the Floating Bus (2018)
I used Fortran 2008 a lot some years ago; initially I wanted to write a C++ wrapper around a Fortran library that seemed useful, but ended up liking the language better than C++ and just did the whole project in it.

I think a lot of people don’t realize that modern Fortran actually supports object-oriented programming and Matlab-style array slicing, and comes with built-in support for e.g. matrices and complex numbers. It even has some features inspired by functional languages, like being able to mark functions as pure (side-effect free). Combined with its general speed, this makes it a pretty nice language for numerical code.

Although for most new users, I think Julia might be a better option than Fortran these days.
No it doesn't. It was one of the first "Brexit freedoms" the government took advantage of. That's why Amazon had a spat with Visa: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/visa-mastercard-agree-lower-averag...

The article is wrong here.
You're right ! I think many software engineers shits on project may be based on their experiences and forgets that these projects can driven in future awesome creations
Thanks for the compliment. Since you seem to like it, i’ll emphasis a little as to how i came to realize that :

It’s very common that workflows are suited for data manipulation: write the data to disk, when it’s complete send it to the network, then once it’s completed, etc. I/O are known to be asynchronous, so we’re already equiped for that.

What i noticed is that the screen of your app is also a source of asynchrony, and as such, everytime we interact with it (animations, transitions, waiting for user interactions), we’re actually dealing with problems of exactly the same nature.
This is the thing right here

Most shops accept both cash and credit, and the costs of dealing with cash don‘t go down by much just because half your customers pay cashless.
An unbiased news article presents the facts and leaves interpretations out of it or provides several possible interpretations for the facts.

This article presents a singular interpretation in a demonizing way.

If you're not able to separate this from propaganda then it's very unfortunate.
Why do people think that it is somehow a contradiction in terms for a Mexican to be a white supremacist? ‘Mexican’ is a nationality. Mexicans can be white, and Mexico has a long history of color-based racism (which for example you can still see in the casting of Mexican TV shows - white out of all proportion to the population).

On top of that, there are innumerable instances of people supporting ideologies that are directly contrary to their interests. People are weird. Someone who commits mass murder is especially unlikely to be a particularly rational and consistent thinker.

At this point there’s overwhelming evidence that the individual in question was fixated on Nazi imagery and far right ideology. If that doesn’t fit your priors, then they may be due for update.
Nothing, but it's just add a complex layer to something that every developer can do by himself with a bit of conventions. The company was developing software mainly in Python, so writing a virtualenv (no docker at that time) and a script to deploy it was the simpler way to deploy it.
No need to overcomplicate things and waste resources.

I agree that walking beats cars and buses.

But I stand by my point that driving or being driven directly from A to B will always be better, and most people seem to agree with me.

I also have been on a bus, whooshing by traffic, and had great commuting experiences that way. But that’s a small minority of times in my experience.

whether that's true or not he also has a long record of good behavior.

is the definition of trying to demonize someone
Ah right, missed that line. But that's about risks that Dishs proposed terrestrial use could also interfere with existing DirecTV customers TV reception, not any new service to geostationary satellites.

Real workflow engines (the ones you find in large companies used to model business processes) handles conditions and branching.

But my personnal experience is that linear flows work really well in the context of apps with just those two additions :

The ability to cancel a running flow. The ability for a step to « do nothing » if the conditions for its execution aren’t met.

- There are machines to count cash.

- Storage and security doesn't have to be expensive if you're smart about it.

- You can set your prices so that you don't keep running out of a certain coin.

- You are not obliged to take the money to the bank.

It really is not "incredibly expensive" to deal with cash.
This is why I’d prefer a Mac mini as a little home server. The price difference is obviously a massive drawback, but the power brick Intel use is a right PITA.
Yes, tracking the entire face is already being done in prototypes. I guess Meta in particular is extremely interested in rolling this out, it enables them to analyze better which content and ads you react to.
I guess you mean Naomi Wolf, as the sub-title makes clear? Quite different people. Klein is an excellent writer and thinker. Wolf is deep in the conspiracy hole.

Is it? Most, if not all, of the rail I've seen in Europe is either grade separated or access restricted in some manner. The UK in particular stands out to me.

Brightrail runs 130 kph trains through populated areas, mostly at grade including crossings. Caltrain runs a comparable system in length and speed and sees roughly half the annual deaths. Do you have a better explanation?
It looks more like a broken INI file parser. And I could say "it's not a bug, it's a feature !", because it could be used to design a markup language for docstrings (consumed [1] by a documentation generator), which the INI file cannot do just as well.

I deployed Gentoo professionally for a few years in two roles, a locked-down desktop and a small server for small retail stores.
What I did was to create a golden image, tar it up as a stage4.tar.xz, have a script unpack it into a new LVM volume and boot into the new volume.
Application data lived on separate LVM volumes.
Worked great for the time. I have switched to RockyLinux + Autoinstaller + Ansible since then.
Elm started as a FRP language and ended up giving up FRP[1] for ease of use.

If ease of use is targeted, signals might not be the best approach. I distinctly remember things becoming easier when they went away.

There's a few high-level and a few silly low-level differences.

(1) With a credit card, your fraud liability is almost always zero (but technically $50). With a debit card, it varies - I think by law it's $0 if you report the card lost or stolen before it's used, $50 if you report it within 2 days, $500 if you report it within 60 days and unlimited after 60 days. For card-not-present I think it's 60 days for zero liability.

(2) With a credit card, you simply don't pay the fraudulent charge until resolved. With a debit card, the money is out of your account until resolved.

(3) There's some weird arcana in the Fair Credit Billing Act about common carrier bankruptcy. In some cases, you're not liable if an airline goes bankrupt after you book but before your trip. This doesn't apply to debit cards. [2]

> But the implementations are rarely extracted out for general purpose usage and rarely have a rich API.

SolidJS pitches its state management as being robust enough for use outside of itself.

IMO, most state management tools baked into ui frameworks aren’t robust enough to be worth extracting.
Huh. I definitely didn't know about Direct3D and DirectML support. That's bizarre, I can't imagine the use-case.
That's one of the ways merchant's banks mitigate the risk, yes. But you have 120 days to make a chargeback, and I think most banks don't delay the payment that long.

I believe bigger merchants with better credit ratings can normally negotiate faster repayments.
Can't this by circumvented by giving cash customers with a discount? It's like how things are sometimes offered interest-free, but a discount is given if you pay for it outright.

Old Microsoft yes, the new generation that got on board during the Windows 8 days not so much.

There is hardly anything backwards compatible during the multiple WinRT reboots that have happened since then.
I too loved Knockout's observable model - I've found Mobx a worth successor. As it's entirely independent of any framework it is very practical for general purpose usage. I use it for reactive state with both React and in backend Node code with no problems.

Pretty much, except that very intelligent people would be prostitutes also, and it would be harder to find financially stable sexual partners because those people are all selling their bodies like the vast majority of the available stock, and are making similar wages.

The elites of the future who take advantage of such stock will likely be less intelligent than the stock itself, if the elites of today are any indication of things to come.

In other words, in the future we will likely see forced breeding that retards our population.
The observable syntax is confusing. Lisp uses *earmuffs* syntax for global variables, if you only use one muff for an observable variable, how would you express a global variable that's observable? Using **lopsided muffs*?
Interesting take on it, and I've seen things trend in that direction, which is a good thing, I agree.
What's the difference between reactive and functional programming? Both seem to focus on expressing relationships between objects and having compiler/runtime infer the computation, instead of explicitly specifying the computation.

For a year and a half I was doing LHR<->SFO every 6 weeks or so. I wouldn't say I enjoyed it much, but it soon became a weird sport to optimize everything. I got it down to ~16 hours door to door, by e.g. ensuring I never needed to check anything in and trying out several options on either end of the flight. I maximised my upgrades by carefully picking flights, and so rapidly got up the tiers of the reward program (I was flying United, because while their standard was low compared to e.g. BA or Virgin, their reward program was far more generous, so if flying often it was a better experience back then). I found great headphones, sleeping masks, pillows. At that point it was close to enjoyable.

But that was with transatlantic flights. Having experienced domestic US flights, I can't imagine doing that regularly. Difference even within the same carriers at least used to be awful. To the point where I'd insist on direct flights over stretching my legs on the east coast because the domestic flights were so awful.

Internal recruiters often change what they're given. Changing C++ to C/C++ is a real thing that happened to a job my team was hiring for.

I also said 'or'.
Consumer behavior in different countries is different and depends on many factors - culture, mindset, local customs and habits, structure of taxes and regulations etc. American system will not be convenient for Germans, for example (I personally do not understand how it can be convenient).
Part of the cost of a tax is cognitive. That’s why VAT is a great tax. Build it into the systems.

Instead, private credit cards are built into the system. That makes no sense to me. The US system of credit cards does very little for economic stability or growth. It has clear harms to the vulnerable and it hardly benefits the economically stable. Instead, there should be a system of frictionless debit payment. Governments shouldn’t pick winners and losers, but they should build infrastructure for healthy markets.

Signing credit card slips? What is that? Clearly irrational. Visa and Mastercard are not just normal market players. American capitalism would function better without the excessive role of credit cards in commerce.
I wish some ideas from South East Asia taken in western countries

1. More common driving scooter

+ in Thailand / Vietnam / Indonesia driving scooter is very common even for teenagers

+ easy to find (free) parking place and doesn't require so much space

+ they don't consume much fuel

+ still can have 2nd passenger

+ cheap, mass produced and easy available

+ easy to lock and more heavy so less likely to get stolen than bikes

+ have some (small) trunk space for storage (helmet, groceries, etc.)

+ in taiwan you have electric scooters that easy to swap batteries

+ you can still move forward in traffic jam

E-bicycles on the other hand:

- feel less safe when driving >20km/h (small wheels)

- doesn't have indicators, mirrors, lights out of the box

- feel like too fast for sidewalks and too slow for roads (unless have dedicated bicycle lanes)

- much more expensive, most cannot swap battery or replace it

- much less places to park

- easier to steal (and because they are more expensive they are better target)

- no space for groceries or storing helmet/gears

2. Shared taxi. Thailand has kind of public transport called Songthaew [0] (pickup car with 2 benches of seats) that you stop, pay small fee and it distribute people that go along the same direction. Similarly angkot in indonesia. With some modern app this could be probably even better optimized

3. Motorbike taxi - e.g. gojek in Indonesia, grab bike in Thailand

If you need security and stability there is one name for you: Debian.
>95% of my transport is relatively close to home, with no more than a single bag of luggage. Cycling really can't be beat there.

Obviously doesn't work everywhere and for everyone, but I'm confident that it could work in more places than most people (especially outside the Netherlands) think, and where it does, it really is fantastic. Not just for the cyclists themselves, but everyone who isn't in the process of getting from A to B as well.
