I think part of the point jgalt212 is making is LOGO is a language while scratch is an environment. LOGO very obviously maps from sequences of lexemes to actions while that association in Scratch is a bit muddied. You can open a code browser and start typing, but the whole environment is designed to allow you to do interesting things without every typing a line of code (well... maybe a few lines of code. But a LOT fewer than with LOGO.)

I think it depends on what you're trying to teach kids. For young kids, scratch is probably a fine introduction to basic procedural coding (which is kind of funny since it's implemented in a descendant of the prototypical OO environment.) You can teach the same concepts with LOGO, and they did in the 70s. But it's a LOT easier to teach things like language processing and language concepts like recursion and evaluation with LOGO. But there's some question about whether or not kids younger than 8 or 9 can internalize these concepts. In the states we even hold off until around age 12 or 13 before introducing such things.

Maybe for your needs. When I worked as a game developer was amazing for visual debugging gigabytes of runtime data generated by a game engine with millions of lines of code. I could endlessly click through class hierarchies to see what interconnections arise at runtime, and setup all kinds of complicated breakpoint conditions. Obviously you can do all this with gdb or lldb as well, but in my experience it never approached the productivity boost of a graphical debugger.

Visual Studio is a bit shit outside of games, .net, or windows desktop software though.

I understand how lead-lined Roman aqueducts would put lead into drinking water — there's nowhere for the lead to go but to stay in the water, since the lead lining is below the water.

But I'm unclear on how lead that had leached into groundwater would remain in groundwater. Shouldn't the lead, being heavier than water, drop out of the groundwater and get caught up in the soil? Isn't this the primary filtering function we expect of soil — the reason aggregate is used as a filtering medium in wastewater treatment?

If not, wouldn't you expect to hear about water tables that have problematically-high natural levels of this or that heavy metal? Wouldn't you expect that it'd be deadly to drink groundwater that had ever flowed through any underground ore deposits?
You still have no proposed link from "melting pot" to crime. You're just stating some demographic difference between the countries.

Meanwhile there are some differences, especially in policy, that are very easy to link to crime: Japan has practically no guns. Japan has universal healthcare. The US has a poverty rate of over 10%, while Japan has a poverty rate of under 2%. Japan builds housing. Japanese public education is much more equitable and supported by the national government.

My Two Semesters of Teaching
The business ecosystem, like biological ecosystems, involves forms of collective life that have learned how to sustain themselves in competitive environments, usually by seeking moats. Those moats "rig the game". The moats tend to fail when the environment changes; e.g. due to technical innovation, social movement, external shocks. It is the central interest of any business to build moats and drawbridges.

Life is turtles all the way down and drawbridges all the way up. Anyone seeking opportunities is looking for the openings between those moats and drawbridges.

* If no one paid to have skittles mentioned, it's not advertising.

* Accepting and giving gifts in professional contexts is already known to be fraught, an anti-advertising law wouldn't significantly alter that.

* If the competitor paid you to share the negative experience or paid for the airtime/venue in which your shared it, it's advertising, otherwise it's not.

> if I say "the main difference in pronunciation between Latin America and Spain is that Spanish sounds a bit softer and more lispy" everyone knows what I'm talking about immediately

And if you were to say that "the main difference in pronunciation between straight and gay men is that gay men sound softer and more lispy" everybody knows what you are talking about immediately too. Also, "you may not consider it particularly offensive, there is no mocking of anyone with a lisp in that sentence".

The reality of it is that as a Spaniard I am just tired of Latin Americans constantly making fun of our dialect, so forgive me for politely informing a foreigner that our dialect is not a lisp.

Now please carry on explaining how much you don't find it offensive. It makes all the difference.

Got it, thanks. In principle we could put Norway up there, but as any such ban is going to be in a particular jurisdiction, and as the domain suffix already indicates which one it is, I think it's ok to leave it implicit. It's ok for readers to work a little bit sometimes.

OWA (Outlook Web Access) shows me the antiquated "lite HTML" interface with Firefox on my OS. If I change the user agent to claim to be Chrome on Windows, it shows me the modern UI (which works fine, however it gets the time zone wrong).

Accessing Google Docs, Sheets, etc. works OK with Firefox, but if I claim to be Chrome some things don't work. So they are defintely serving up something different to Chrome vs Firefox browsers.
I’d argue you are missing my point. There are other issues with A/C (refrigerants are also contributors to CO2, production is an issue), but the finer points of any one technology are not the issue. The issue is that I think it’s a fantasy that we can solve global warming simply with some technical tweaks and no changes whatsoever to our patterns of consumption. “Consume less” is not a message that goes over well.
This is a smell. Your unit tests should not have to rely on internal implementation details.
We're adult enough to have discussions like this in public. They are healthy to have. People make mistakes. Kudos to the original authors for releasing the source code so people could inspect and replicate their results.
> They aren't perfect,

That's a problem in its own, though. While I agree that source maps can and often do solve the minification problem/confusion, it can also introduce another "vector" for something to go wrong and make production debugging a pain. Like everything, it's about tradeoffs. I've worked on some apps where, yes, minification really did matter, but minification has also become a default even when it's questionable whether it's even called for. Whereas just shipping the code as-is is less likely to introduce a pain point when debugging, source maps are more likely to introduce them when the source map somehow doesn't work or, in rare circumstances, can't accurately represent the runtime code when transpilation is emulating the original code by doing something almost completely different somewhere down the chain.

Although this is an "it depends" thing, like everything else, I lean on the side of not minifying things in 2023 when both gzip is adequate and the time it takes to parse and run the main code is not the source of performance problems. But the last time I brought a similar topic, a bunch of HNers got mad because "starving people in Africa with flip phones and 3G tho", so maybe I'm still objectively wrong years later.
Chrome Dev Tools is better than Firefox Dev Tools in my opinion. Chrome has more extensions too.
And how do I walk in to a shop from this walkway?
Use Firefox for a day if you are a Chrome user, you’ll quickly realize the experience is far subpar.

JS stuff is slower, random websites break, the UI feels a bit sluggish.

I understand there are ideological reasons to support Firefox, and that some of these issues are easily attributed to other parties. But for users, there aren’t too many reasons to switch over from Chrome or even Safari, like it was the situation during the IE6 days.
WTH that's super creepy, how comes I've never heard about it before?
CSS and JavaScript are partially ordered file formats, and there are some tricks one can do with that to boost compression ratios, with or without minification.

In a Java minifier ages ago, I modified it to suffix sort the constants pool and saw a little over 1% further size reduction. Given that the pool is half of the file, that’s >2% on the pool.

The reason for suffix sorting was that entities in bytecode, JS and CSS often have end of statement markers, so suffix sorting gets you slightly longer runs than prefix sorting.
Sounds like something ML could solve.

Why do people keep making value judgements about people that built tools they trust like they should be ashamed or something like that?

Parent simply explained his process and why he uses vim like that and why he doesn't like VSCode. There's nothing there that says "macho" in any shape or form. I don't understand this need to put labels on others like this. Maybe it makes people feel better about their own choices? Helps with insecurity? I don't know.

Whatever it is, this doesn't add to the conversation at all.

> Amendments to the Constitution have become practically nonexistent.

It seems that you're taking this as a sign that the Constitution isn't still relevant. I'd ask you to consider that this might be a sign of the exact opposite, and that we can't get broad buy-in on the things that some groups see as obvious additions.

If the MLB were trying to update the rules of baseball to make it more exciting, and one camp wanted to do that by increasing the number of home runs while the other wanted to do it by increasing the number of strike-outs, it makes sense that they should sort out which approach is best before passing rules (or allowing flip-flopping every year)

> The Constitution never benefited the country as a whole

For citizens, this is so demonstrably false that I feel like I must be misinterpreting you here.

Google meet works fine on firefox. The GCP console is an affront to the web on any browser, though.
Chrome is better. That's why. It's faster. JS loads quicker. Websites break, for instance Tidal streaming. There are three million tech support threads on the internet of people who can't use Tidal on Firefox. Firefox on desktop can't even translate pages yet, I have to use a janky third party plugin.

As a fairly normie internet user, unless you have a hate-boner for Google or some arcane developer niche use case, I don't see a reason to use Firefox anymore.

It's basically all the benefits of an expertly configured and finely tuned emacs setup, except maintained by other open source developers so competently that your only time spent configuring your editor is clicking "Install Plugin" the first time you open a file written in the language/framework you use.

The only downside is that as a web tech app it can have some noticeable latency. But on a beefy dev laptop or workstation the difference shouldn't be noticeable.
Yet a heck of a lot of people have cars there. Private car ownership in the Netherlands is around 590 per 1000 population. It's within 10% of Germany on cars per 1000 population and on percentage of families that own a car.

The Netherlands stands out for its excellent biking facilities so that people who cannot afford a car are not screwed like they are in many places, and people with a car don't have to use it is as often, but car ownership there is in the same ballpark as most of the rest of Europe.

I try rumble again every few months... I mostly use YouTube on my android tv box (NVidia Shield TV), and the experience is generally better than Rumble. As much as I'd prefer not to be tied to Google, given how much content they suppress, it kind of sucks overall.

It's hard to get a sense of new/good content from those that I follow without having to check each channel manually. Which may be fine for some, but on YouTube as a contrasting for instance I'm following like 150+ channels on various topics of interest. Rumble is about 30 and already difficult to manage.
Yep. Nine months to change a single buggy line of cache line invalidation in the translation look-aside table handling IMUL opcode in QEMU 4.0.

The rise of Chrome in the early 2010s really cut into Firefox's marketshare. This is anecdotal, but I remember Chrome running very fast on my Macs in the early 2010s. It was much faster than Firefox of that era and was quite competitive with Safari. Firefox's performance did improve drastically later in the decade, but from a marketshare standpoint Chrome had already gained significant ground.

In the past five years or so I switched back to Safari on Macs and to Firefox on Windows and Linux. My reasons had to do with three factors: (1) Chrome's memory usage, (2) privacy concerns with using Chrome, and (3) my concerns that Chrome would become the monopoly web browser, similar to the "bad old days" when Internet Explorer 5 and 6 were dominant, which held back the Web until Firefox emerged sometime around 2004. Firefox is a good browser and I hope that it will continue putting up a fight against Chrome to keep the Web from being completely dominated by Google.

Nearly every rebuttal on the internet starts with misinterpretation of what's being said. Good reading skills are extremely rare, it seems.

To be clear: you tried to say "C offers encapsulation/isolation". People read "This solution is equivalent to 'private'", an almost completely unrelated statement, and then respond to that.

That could typically be classified as a "Straw man fallacy"[0], but I believe people who do this in many cases simply do not have the necessary reading skills to understand what proposition has been made, and therefore honestly believe themselves to be reasoning correctly (i.e. without fallacy).

Reading comprehension used to be a topic at school when I was a child. I suppose that's no longer the case??

Eh, it's fine if they're keywords as long as not everything is a string. If `"NO"` and `NO` are distinct types, then they're not equal and there's no Norway problem. YAML treats strings, numbers, null, and booleans as all the same type (scalars). The problem isn't keywords clashing with common words, it's not having distinct types!

I'm not saying anyones opinion is incorrect. FSD may work better in some places and worse in others. But I live in Las Vegas. We have wide roads, both highways and regular roads well maintained, great weather, and other elements that would make you think FSD would work great.

In my experience, it does lane keeping great and going in a straight line, slowing down for traffic. But that's about it. Making turns, the overall jank is unbearable in person (it doesn't come off as bad on video, but as a driver or passenger, getting constantly tossed around is not fun), and also just the unpredictability of the system makes it unusable for anything more than a parlor trick.

You're free to have your own opinion or listen to whoever you want, but I can tell you my experience has been consistently terrible and hasn't improved by any meaningful amount over the last 18 months.

I have a rooftop deck on my house. I put up some wooden poles to hang some lights on and after my first summer with the poles up they were all covered in bird poop.

It's not a problem here in the winter when it rains enough that the poop washes away but we can go weeks or months in the summer and the accumulation of poop can smell bad.

Some bird spikes on the top of each pole has mostly solved the problem.
I agree. With the current technology this should be the way to go, and we should be able to lookup the the translation on the fly. A simple static translation is no longer enough
