When I visited Japan I drove around Shikoku (smallest of the main islands) and was surprised to find a FamilyMart in a small rural town. 24x7 open, just as well stocked as the ones in Tokyo. Really interesting to learn about its history!
I think some negative fanboyism is because Elm promises a lot, and also delivers a lot of promises but there are some choices that sort of rub against our intuitions about software. Principle of least surprise.

Example 1: No typeclasses? Fine. But why is there comparable, which quacks like a typeclass and why can only kernel code use it? Practical implication: sorting, which is a bread and butter language/library feature is messy to code and inefficient at runtime.

Example 2: Why isn’t negative number pattern matching just fixed based the principle of least surprise and as a clear bug rather than gaslighting those who found 10 seperate examples of why pattern matching (which is a sugared if/switch) should blow up at compile time with negative numbers.

None of this makes sense. So I think it is good to warn people who are about to invest a lot of time. There will be edges where you wont have fun.

Finally; whether the api gets broken next month or there will be zero releases this decade is not clear. It is not a language where you can reason about it’s future, like maybe you can with JS, Java, Python, C# etc.

Elm is an experimental language. It is also production ready. That intersection is rare and I think that is what causes issues.

Haskell spent a long time as a toy before people made it a production language. And now it is no longer experimental on the whole. No benedict is going to do a 180 on Haskell. You are just gonna get more GHC language extensions for experimenting with ideas. I think this is better/more mature approach.
The history is very interesting here. As noted in the article, Ito Yokado's chairman set up a new company under Toshifumi Suzuki to create the Japanese 7-Eleven.

Southland Corporation, which owned 7-Eleven in America initially refused to even speak with them. Eventually it all worked out and 7-Eleven became a hit in Japan, while the fortunes of the company in America did not fare so well.

In 1991, when Southland faced bankruptcy, Ito Yokado invested $430mn to take over the company and renamed it to 7-Eleven Inc. How the tables turn..

There is a lot of detail on Wikipedia if you find this sort of thing interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Eleven#History

Edit: 430bn → 430mn

> Sure, but since these changes aren't affecting many users I'm not sure why this would happen.

I'm curious about how you count the number of users affected. 3rd party apps users are at a first order, but as those also included mod tools, any subs that had admins relying on these tools are also affected.

And sure reddit is promising adjustments, but at this points those are just vague promise, and looking at the CEO you wouldn't trust these promises much. Then as those subs go dark, if the mods are replaced, you also potentially get way worse moderation all around.

From that POV, the number of affected users feels pretty huge to me...
That's not the most constructive way to word that.
I really enjoyed that! If the author learned so much more perhaps a part 3 is in order?!
Not much engineering software runs on MacOS.
When a workplace or organisation is capable of 3 day office / 2 day remote working - it is (or should) be capable of fully remote working.

Pretending that there is a functional business requirement for 6 of the 10 person team to be doing the morning call from their office desks as opposed to their home desks is dishonest at best.

Embrace the reality and the benefits you yourself see and create working spaces that are better than someones sitting alone in a spare bedroom.
This is the problem of toll roads and express lanes and creating a pseudo private system that monetizes the public commonwealth. Public-private partnerships are another cash grab.

A virus scanner needs to implement parsers for so many different formats on the budget of a medium software company, with a pressure to deliver fast. the chances of not making any mistakes are small, and antivirus needs to run with high privileges.

I don't understand that guy's argument. So Apollo is costing Reddit 10 million due to their API traffic and he wants Reddit to pay Apollo 10 mil to stop it? How is that better than cutting off their access which would cost reddit zero dollars?

And they should ban throwaway accounts too which you can also see spreading more conjecture.
In storage there are standards and abstractions that commodify the product. There are lots of vendors and lots of projects at said vendors that try to deliver improved parts and they can count on customer demand & competitive advantage if they succeed.

Most software (and hardware) is not like this.
I don’t think it’s an excuse or justification, but rather an explanation or motive.

Unfortunately the brain is rather complex and can break in surprisingly many ways. One such example is the shooter who had cancer that pressed against his [iirc] amygdala.

For Ted, we know that he was a subject of mkultra experiments, and that he was tortured. We know that he was deeply troubled and had communication issues. Perhaps he felt that the bombings were the only way he could garner focus on the problems he saw; but that is likely rationalisation on my end. It should also be noted that Ted lived very isolated, and that can cause severe damage to the brain. If you find yourself alone in a foreign country that you work in and no social support system or many interactions, you might experience this and see yourself changing.

In Greek αιτιολογώ and δικαιολογώ exist, where the former identifies causality and uses that to reason on the events and the latter is the same as justifying. To my knowledge the former doesn’t have a translation in English.

I addressed that. You must separate the art from the artist.
I'd like for high risk biological research to be done under the same security arrangements as nuclear weapons research. Covid and influenza have together killed several orders of magnitude more humans in the last 150 years than nuclear weapons/accidents have. Thus GoF research presents a potential human cost much higher than nuclear weapons, and should be treated as such.

If that makes it "too expensive and slow" then so be it. Perhaps there are some things humans should not be doing.
I’m not going to say LA is not a car disaster, but LA does have dozens of walkable neighborhoods to be fair. It wouldn’t be apples to apples to compare Woodland Hills to Capitol Hill (for example).

And although community parks can be in short supply, there’s hundreds of thousands of acres of open space in the Santa Monica and San Gabriel mountains.

Because exploring the truth is a worthwhile endeavor particularly in the face of an oppressive regime that made it very clear they did not want the truth to be explored.

Just to be clear what I posted seemed like Chinese people exploring what actually happened more than a blame based document or fear mongering based document.

I would really encourage you to give it a chance because it is very impressive investigative work and, really, an impressive exercise of investigative journalism from a country that hates investigative journalists.
Yes, imgur also does not make any profit. Soon you will see imgur also raising prices, they simply have enough VC to not need to resort to that yet.
I’m not sure how you can say Reddit deserves none of the credit for creating Reddit. It has to be at least as valuable (from a revenue perspective) to create the site as it costs to design and run one of the most trafficked site in the world otherwise no company would just magically appear in its place.

You almost act as if some people stumbled upon great software/infrastructure and improperly started charging people to use it. This isn’t some mountain spring some company claimed and is now charging the tribes down stream for access.

The communities on Reddit aren’t the valuable part. I don’t visit 99% of the subreddits. The valuable thing is I can go on one site, find a subreddit for everything I’m interested in, participate with the same account and have no learning curve/same UI/UX as the other communities I’m a part of. You can try to argue that those communities being there is what’s valuable to me, but without Reddit they all wouldn’t be on the same site.

Your argument reads as some poor adaption of the labor theory of value. Right now Reddit isn’t profitable, as long as these economics hold, no one is going to fill in for Reddit if it were to close. And all the mods and users can’t change that.
Sure yes, that is a fair point, but this conversation doesn't ascribe that kind of limitation in the argument, because we're already talking about other motivations. Maybe (probably lol) they were negligent, maybe it was an accident, my point is if we are also trying to get people to think for a moment "or maybe they did it on purpose" then it follows that people are pushing that idea, if false, for xenophobic reasons.

I'm sure it has more to do with the fact that roads are well-designed in Europe. While in the US it's not at all uncommon to have 4-6 lane roads in front of houses meaning drivers have to watch every house for a possible car pulling out of their driveway.

These data just reflect the statutory labor certifications filed as part of the H1B process. Like with the PERM filings for green cards they tend to understate compensation in tech since they only include basic salary and not stock bases compensation which is normally half of your total comp as a senior.
> Doesn't P2P always require some kind of discovery mechanism unless peers know each others?

That discovery mechanism can be a decentralized network where any contact is an entrypoint. You connect to the network ~once and from that point onward everything is p2p and no fixed servers are involved or in control.
No worries :)

>A human is not a computer

Yes they are. The human brain is a biological computer. Unfortunately, it is not optimized for accurate computation, thus the need for rigorous self-examination of the origin of one's beliefs. To know the mind of another would require 1:1 neural connections shared between you. That leaves no neurons left to be you. Obviously you don't use all of your neurons to simulate the minds of others, you only use some. Therefore, your model will not be perfectly accurate. It might get quite close, but there are some details you don't have because you haven't lived their life, you've only lived your own. Even with the help of psychedelics ;D

My model of you is simple because I have constructed it from the scant contents of a couple of comments. To assume more would be forming baseless assumptions off data I don't have, which would be irresponsible if I value the accuracy of my model, which I do. I don't presume or even really care to know anything about anything else you believe. I am only interested in this one claim in the intersection of our neural venn diagrams, that of the US government possessing alien craft. my yes/ no questions were an attempt to get you to articulate what you think you know and how you think you know it.

I take a great deal of responsibility for my opinions, which is why I will only change them when the source of new information can articulate both the what and the how better than I currently understand them. I told you exactly what I believe on this topic. I believe the leaker is real. I believe the programs are real. I believe they have found things they do not know how to explain. I do not believe they are in possession of alien craft that are bigger on the inside than the outside and can warp time. Basically this https://xkcd.com/2786/

No tuples: I found this to trade some convinience (no need to name anything)for worse refactoring (adding a value to a tuple or reordering the fields breaks everything, doing the same to a record doesn’t).

I also improved pattern matching on records to make them more ergonomic.

No automatic record constructors: same as the above, but in my experience it also confused beginners.

I know of several that actively avoids it in their projects, even enforcing it with a linter rule.

No GLSL: never used it, and don’t know how it works. It also broke when I upgraded the version of the Haskell compiler (Gren’s compiler is written in Haskell). For those reasons, it was removed.

Family Marts have a shelf of individually packed socks/underwear/T-shirts/leggings etc in many styles and colours. Cheap and good quality too.

Ran out of socks a few times when I was there. Top up was a 10s walk from the hotel. :)
Seems it's the same with the 7-Eleven's and (I assume) FamilyMart's in Thailand as well.

I know in 7-Eleven in Thailand it's possible to get car insurance, buy airplane tickets, probably concert tickets, etc...

And also open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

I'm quite happy our village in Thailand recently got their own 7-Eleven. And it looks like excellent business for the people that started the franchise in our village. Always customers inside at day time and even at night quite often people buying stuff.

I like that I now have a shop nearby where I can buy milk, or a fresh cappuchino. Other mini marts in our village would not offer those products.
So what do you think about Jane Jacobs?
There's been a similar trend among drug stores as well. Bartell Drugs for example was a staple pharmacy here in Seattle until it was taken over by Rite Aid, where it became a hollow shell of its former self and rapidly falling apart. Companies buy out the competition, push up prices, kill local competition and then hold a monopoly over regions where they can freely mandate whatever price they want.

But OBS is the server serving the stream to everyone. It's using WebRTC in a client-server fashion. There's nothing P2P about it.
What's going on though that a $5 / month server can't handle 1500 users posting a few bytes of text. I realize we're talking millions of bytes that have to be processed, but computers are fast. Are the protocols inefficient? Is the code just really inefficient? What's going on?
I think this happens because generally, autocorrect will do its thing after pressing space, or some other type of white space. At the end of a message, we usually press enter, which then serves both as the autocorrect trigger and the send trigger. You could notice that autocorrect has still selected the word (thus indicating its intention to correct), but really, that’s a bit subtle.

I would think that pressing enter should only send if no autocorrect was triggered by it (and sending requires hitting enter a second time), but maybe then you get the even bigger problem of constantly forgetting to actually send.

"Reddit is providing little to no unique value to the world. The delta of the world with and without Reddit is close to zero. Hence no value."

That's not the definition of "value" that everyone uses.

Suppose there was a bread company called Breddit that baked loaves of bread and sold them. It's very easy to argue that if Breddit didn't exist, someone else would bake and sell bread. No duh. But that doesn't mean a company that makes bread doesn't have value.

There's pretty much no company in the world that offers unique value...
I read the article, it fails to correctly summarize, and also misrepresents existing known info.
Even for power users, I could see it being a pretty minor thing. Just speaking for myself - I don't really care about any of this as long as they keep "old" Reddit alive. I've been on Reddit over a decade at this point, and I'm there for a handful of text-based communities. I've never even posted images with Reddit's image uploader.

Some people have argued, in the abstract, that if they're willing to make changes to the API they'll probably kill "old" Reddit too, but idk. Some subreddit mods have posted traffic stats showing half of uniques are still coming through "old" Reddit. I don't see them killing it soon... but if they'll do I'll move on.

I think the author should look more into scientific responses to pseudoscience claims. For example, the author posits two positions: 1) Emil's studies are legitimate; 2) Emil's studies are flawed, but none of his opponents are willing to make the effort to refute them.

A missing 3) is responding lends credence to studies whose premises have long since been refuted.

This is why geology publications don't publish new refutations of every new flat-earth article.

That's part of the reason why many biologists refuse to "debate" Young Earth Creationists. (Another is that oral debates depend much more on the rhetorical skills of the speakers than the underlying evidence, and a third is Brandolini's Law, mentioned in the text.)

The author writes "Unfortunately, this phenomenon is far from only affecting the social sciences", which suggests the author isn't aware of things like the what PZ Myers terms "the panspermia mafia"[1], "a tight collaborative community of cranks" that "rubber stamp their approval" on each others' papers.[2]

> I want public transportation infrastructure and far, far, FAR fewer cars. I think the US should strive to reduce car ownership by 75% over the next 20 years, at least in cities over a certain population size.

Do you want to limit the cars people own or do you want to limit how much cars are used?

I could reduce the number of my cars to 1 and wouldn't be driving any less. Or I could buy more cars and still would not be driving more than I do today (but might be able to choose a smaller more efficient one for a trip).
This is awesome. Almost all content on the internet has been centralized by social networks, so it brings me joy to see an appetite for small, personal, non-commercial websites.

I've run into some pretty straight-forward problems (eg: modeling physical systems, with linear algebra and some other basic math) where avoiding python for loops meant allocating memory up front for massive numpy, and then doing multiple separate vectorized operations on them rather than fusing all of them into a single for loop. Required several hundred GB of RAM and took a few hours IIRC. This was of course still better than Python for loops... /facepalm

I wrote the same thing in Julia in about the same number of lines of code -- avoiding the sins above -- and I could run it on my laptop in a few seconds.
Maybe you missed the deeper satirical message.
Why is it even better? It costs money for Google to develop and maintain Youtube.
