git-lfs is horrible, at least it was horrible the last few times I tried it out.

More precisely git-lfs is horrible the way it works with Github and its insanely low git-lfs storage and transfer limit.

What ends up happening inevitably is that you add some file to git-lfs that you did not mean to.

Only half sane/insane way to fix this is to just say screw it and start a fresh git repository, hopefully with files that you salvaged before the whole git-lfs mess.

I am quoting Github documentation "To remove Git LFS objects from a repository, delete and recreate the repository."

You say that is user error. Of course, users will make errors.

This is only true if you are using dedicated IPs with SES (~$30/month each). However, SES is pretty good at managing IP reputation even for the shared IP service, and I haven't had any issues in over 10 years of building systems on top of it.

> are “hom objects”, so regarded as objects in “the category with as objects the non-negative real numbers, and as morphisms, the ‘being greater than or equal to’ “ ?

This works, but it's not quite what you want in most cases. There's a lot of stuff that requires you to enrich over a closed category, so instead we define `Hom(a,b)` to be `max(b - a, 0)` (which you can very roughly think of as replacing the mere proposition `a < b` with its "witnesses"). See https://www.emis.de/journals/TAC/reprints/articles/1/tr1.pdf for more.

> An honest manufacturer would only advertise the amount of capacity you can actually use day to day

Why? It's not common to use your cars full range every day. Most people I know drive <100km on most days, and use the full range of their car maybe twice a year when they go on vacation.

Why would manufacturers advertise worst case numbers if they are not representative of the average consumers needs?

If they advertise their cars for business use, they probably should put some more detailed info somewhere. But if you advertise your car to commuters, it makes sense to use numbers that the average commuter can expect.
I realized the multiple parents thing was a total red herring. It really is just the immutability.

What I was thinking of was having multiple parents over time rather than at the same time like a merge commit. But that would just be one (not immutable) parent but with a history of what that parent was over time, not "multiple parents".

you'd still be exposing the database system itself to the public regardless of the credentials you were using for the email service, as opposed to keeping it all within a VPC which seems to be what most guides recommend.

I assume the difference would be that having your database exposed presents additional surface area for attacks. A rube-goldberg style setup probably presents its own risks, but personally I just use AWS SES for my transactional/marketing emails and it's a one-way pipe that doesn't present any significant risks as far as I can see.

Did you mean to reply to another comment? I don’t see the correlation between your comment and mine. I didn’t assert the US was small business friendly, just that smaller businesses are much more at risk than it seemed the parent comment acknowledged.

Which I think is an important point because by volume the majority of businesses in the US are small and mid-sized businesses.

The early sad parts of "SICP in JavaScript" are especially section 2.2.1 Representing Sequences and chapter 2.3 Symbolic Data:

"All the compound data objects we have used so far were constructed ultimately from numbers. In this section we extend the representational capability of our language by introducing the ability to work with strings of characters as data."

In SICP there were Lisp's symbolic expressions (s-expressions). They were removed without even mentioning them...

Well, if actual harm to people and children is what we want to reduce, then perhaps decriminalizing an innocuous (as in no victims) form of it may actually reduce the harm to actual people.

I never understood why that is OK, why the music industry has pushed gangsta rap etc. for decades, but then something like Cuties out of France which actually critiques the hypersexualization of teenage girls that is taking place, causes an uproar, while the industries doing the hypersexualization are now an accepted part of our liberal "freedom of speech".

That's why there's usually a distinction between local and express trains. In NL we've got local trains that stop everywhere, intercity trains that only stop in the larger cities (and maybe two or three times in the largest cities like Amsterdam), and then there are high-speed trains that only stop in 3 places in the country before heading towards France or Germany. That way long distance travelers don't have to wait for all the small stops.

> if you intended on talking about large cities, New Mexico would not be included in that list.

According to Wikipedia, Albuquerque has a population of 562,599, which would make it the third largest city in Netherland. That's not a megapolis, but it's not small either. Dutch cities that are a fifth of that size still get regular trains and buses until late in the evening.
The 0 and 1 are completely unnecessary though in some of these.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I'm talking about proposing new freshly cooked healthy meals with no complex discussion. Take it or leave it, no big deal. The story the kid gets is: You won't go to bed hungry, and all you see is the people you love eating the same attractive food that's put before you. Of course you're going to get hungry/curious and eat with the family.

Kids adapt to the reality laid out before them. Construct a healthy reality and you get healthy kids.

(I do agree with cooking with your kids of course. I'll even raise you one: we work in the field 3 half days a year with our kids, so that they know the farmer that grows their vegetables by name.)

It's an interesting philosophical question.

Let us take it as read that if you have children, you are morally obliged to work to ensure that the planet is habitable for them and future generations. But if you choose not to have children, do you have any moral obligation to ensure the planet can continue to support life after you have died?

I could foresee a future when more-or-less everyone agrees that something drastic would have to be done to save the planet, but an electorally-significant block simply say "don't care, dead soon, so long and thanks for all the fish".

Self checkout? Not only no. Who did the work? Why, I did. If I tip someone, I'll tip myself.

I could see more of a case for tipping at non-self-checkout. At least there, the employee is doing the work. But even there, why has it changed? What's different from what they were doing 10 years ago?

I could also see tipping checkout people during Covid (though I didn't think of it at the time). They were putting their health, and maybe their lives, on the line so that I could continue to eat. That was way above and beyond the job they thought they were signing up for. Tipping then would have been a kind of hazard pay.
Sometimes I think Elon bought Twitter to purposefully destroy it. He's doing almost everything wrong, if that's not his goal.
This is my guess too. Programming languages currently have to make tradeoffs around cognitive load and the ability to fully reason about effects of statements. An AI assistant with stronger reasoning ability might allow the creation of more powerful languages than we're capable of using by ourselves.

(If this sounds dangerous to you -- to use a technology that humans aren't smart enough to understand ourselves -- I guess I'd agree.)
I had several years in the ObjC ecosystem, embraced Swift whole-heartedly immediately at 1.0, and was surprised by people nitpicking like this.

> Bring back much of the old system that has been sustematically dismantled over the last 70 years

That is not at all what I meant by "existing system" :)

"Start with the existing system" means "prove the US is capable of imprisoning people without regularly subjecting them to horrible conditions." That we used to run an even more expansive prison system doesn't mean that bringing that prison system back under the guise of medical care wouldn't be an expansion of the current system. The old system was torn down for a reason, and reintroducing it now would be an expansion of the current prison system.

We very deliberately systematically dismantled the old system of asylums because they were incredibly abusive. And unfortunately, the remnants of that system are still abusive today. My point is that "we have a long way to go but we have to try" doesn't mean very much when it's just words. Advocates for asylums should start by addressing some of the abuses that are still rampant today in the systems that are operating right now -- let's see some evidence that re-expanding the prison system won't be a horrible disaster for human rights, let's see some actual improvements to prisons that already exist today to back up that optimism.

----

The risk behind untested optimism is that every expansion of the prison system can be excused this way. Any abuse that results in cutting back on incarceration becomes temporary and it's assumed that "getting back to normal" and reintroducing those systems is the normal desired state, rather than a dangerous step backwards towards a system that was consciously rejected for good reason. And advocates that argue (deliberately or not) for expanding and reintroducing systems of abuse can just keep saying "we'll do better this time, this time we'll have reforms."

Nah. Let's see some of those reforms in existing prisons as they exist now for regular prisoners. Let's see standards rise for the prisoners with and without mental issues that we already have in jail today. Then we'll talk about whether expanding from what we have today is wise.
What are some uses for this?

I actually used SICP when teaching a junior-level course on programming language principles and paradigms at San Jose State University, where the introductory language is Java. My students programmed largely in Scheme and Prolog, and they also got exposure to Haskell, Smalltalk, and Common Lisp.

I still believe there is room for SICP in the CS curriculum. While as an introductory language SICP and Scheme may lose out to more commercially popular languages like Python and Java, I still believe that eventually students should be exposed to Scheme as an introduction to functional programming and to demonstrate a minimal, highly flexible language as a vehicle for teaching programming language design and implementation. Then eventually the students can be introduced to the world of statically-typed functional programming languages like the ML family and Haskell.
When people vote for politicians based on moral appeals instead of practical qualifications, corruption is much more likely; politicians don't have to do a good job, they just have to appear to be on the "good" side.
You can’t just put anything in a contract and expect a court to unconditionally enforce it. If an included clause is unreasonable and clearly in bad faith (like a buried fee, written in words instead of numbers), a court can choose to annul it. The legal system is run by humans, not robots. (This is also why smart contracts may not be so smart after all — computers can’t use common sense to mitigate unfair smart contracts.)

DRM blobs were already in browsers, it's the only reason why Hollywood let streaming services have websites at all. First it was trojan-horsed through Flash Player and Silverlight, and then individual browsers all licensed or built their own solutions[0] to make "plugin-free" DRM happen.

The attitude of the W3C was basically "we either kiss the ring or Hollywood forks us". So I can totally imagine Tim Berners-Lee spinning in his nonexistent grave then too. That doesn't mean he's Stallman levels of freedom-or-death.
