It's trickier than that because often those "wants" aren't discrete and undividable, and ranking A over B often doesn't imply that you'd accept getting zero of B until A is fully fulfilled, rather you are likely to prefer sacrificing some A to get some B even if A is a priority and you'd prefer it to have a larger "share of fulfilment" than B.
This is a common misinterpretation of the story. Its not like Norway is the only country able to issue fines. Yes, Norways fines wont bring down meta. But how large will the fines become if rest of Europe follows their example?
>If a consistent pair programming activity is put in place, there’s no need for a formal Code Review process, where a “stranger” comes in and judges your code, often without any context, after all the work you’ve done and the time you spent.

Those are not valid concerns

This is bullshit thats being sold by evangelists.

People doing pair prog. can "influence" eachother into bad directions or assumptions.

TDD doesnt ensure anything.

TDD is successful by an accident - it is good due to API Design being done first
I routinely write in English, Spanish, French, and Finnish, and I code several hours a day. For me, the best layout (other than my Dactyl Manuform's, which is layered) is the standard ANSI US, with a compose key. The compose key gives me easy access to all diacriticals and accents, and I don't need to switch contexts at all.

SEO consultants, yes, there are some snake-oil salespeople.

Most of the big travel sites have in-house SEO teams, who do A/B experiments, have entire frameworks for quickly rolling out changes to things like page titles, subheadings etc. across an entire site - and the proof there is in the pudding, search for "Hotels in XYZ" and they'll be on the front page.

But you're talking about a team of people, most on 6 figure salaries working full time, because the ROAS is there.

Whenever I take a taxi cab, I ask drivers about their attitude towards ride hailing apps. They seem to like them, but complain about the large cut they keep. When I suggest that drivers should form a collective and hire a few developers to build them their own solution that would operate on a break-even basis, they always insist that that's impossible to organise.

It is what brought us and cats together in the first place: grain stores attracted small animals that could spoil the crop or otherwise spread harmful disease, cats found these populations a very useful concentrated food source but did not cause nearly as much similar trouble themselves, so letting them stay around was a good bargain for us.

It indeed is the point. See https://32by32.com/read-me/

From that page: “I was inspired by Stuart Brown‘s Retro MacOS Theme, and modified it for my use. Brown’s original design magnifies pixel elements 2x, for a post-modern take on the original look-and-feel. For this project, I wanted to see what the original artwork would look like on a 1:1 scale.”

I have to zoom in on this page to get the original Mac feel, so I see why one would go for a 2×2 version (the links to Stuart Brown’s setup are dead, unfortunately, so I can’t check them. https://themesinfo.com/retro-mac-os-wpcom-wordpress-blog-tem... points to http://fordstowel.com/, but that seems dead, too)

You also want the subclasses to be `sealed`.

Ideally you would want to write `abstract sealed` for `Discount` too, but C# does not allow it. CIL does support it however, and it is how F# implements sum types. There's no reason I see for C# to continue enforcing this restriction, and lifting it would allow us to write proper DUs.
Perhaps you should start looking for early adopters for your platform that will help developers find early adopters.

interesting, i never understood the concept of "want"-ing anything

the last time i can remember that i wanted something was when i was a little kid and i wanted a toy radio, my mum bought it for me and later got "problems" at home because of that as we were poor and it was "expensive", after that i felt bad for wanting it

that was the last time i can remember i ever wanted anything

similar for goals - when i was a teenager i set an ambitious goal for myself to get a prestigious industry certification before finishing high-school, i thought that it will make me happy, but the moment i achieved it - i felt exactly nothing, that was the last time i set a goal for myself

not sure i am weird - but the question "what do you want" sounds silly to me, why would you want anything at all? it wont bring you happiness when you have the biggest truck or house on the street, or when you sell your company for a lot of money or when you get a professorship or whatever other goal you might set for yourself, ask yourself do you really feel joy and happiness when you get there / achieve it?

do what is right every time a situation calls for it, never take the "easy path" - this way you will never have any regrets, because you simply couldn't do more / better

reading this you might conclude then - ok that sounds like a pretty sad life - so let me add that instead of wanting things, where i found joy and happiness is in doing "good deeds" - try helping someone, make them smile, make their day better and see how will that make you feel, similarly in my professional life - i decided to focus only on what i enjoy and that is solving problems, the harder the challenge the better it makes me feel - the thrill that we are onto something and once one challenge is done i move to another and i feel again alive - that i have a purpose and couldn't possibly be more helpful / create more "good" in any other way

I'm glad that you're able to meet your needs without Homebrew.

This is what I was talking about about HN sentiment, though: for some reason you "don't care" enough to click through to the comments on a "Homebrew is Awesome" post and feel the need to tell everyone that you don't care. That's a different experience of "don't care" than I have and I find it intriguing.
Thank you, this can be handy really. I would love to have compatible replicas (implementing both the same API and the same storage schema) for other languages like C# and Python.

The Russians I’ve run into in Argentina, Indonesia, Thailand , Philippines, Japan, China, HK and other Asian countries all have crypto cards and use crypto very candidly. They also are filling up and creating demand for crypto services in these areas. I’ve seen Facebook posts and instagram pages marketing Russian crypto services and investment - real estate, business and the vector of payment transfer is crypto and second local bank accounts in these countries.

The exodus is very real, and documented via social media so vividly. You can even go to the local social media pages (e.g. Thais, Indonesians, Argentinian social media pages / language ) and get local perspective and demeanor vs the Russian and Russian adjunct countries. It’s so interesting that English has become a neutral language for business and marketing but all the real “work” is done in either or language.

Where are those numbers coming from? So far we have invested a significant amount and not seen anywhere close to those returns on investment.

Not only this, but in what Universe is 200% global GDP sustainable?

> This seems to be an amount of money that could easily be raised as debt or created via monetary policy.

Ultimately, somebody always foots the bill - and it's normally the poorest people who lose the most. What you're asking for is for these people to suffer. I don't consider this an acceptable trade.

That’s just the additional userspace bits installed by vendors. The core itself, e.g. GrapheneOS is orders of magnitude more secure than any “traditional Linux” desktop (which is a shame that security is so low priority), and has zero privacy violations, even if you do install play services it will be sandboxed properly.

PinePhone is a Linux toy (I have one), it is absolutely unusable as a daily driver and this stance is what puts back linux adoption by decades.

On a global scale it's tiny, but on a regional scale it could really impact profitability. Assuming 85% of Norwegians have an account:

* 98,500 a day = $35 million per year

* $35 million / (5 million Norway population * 85% assumption) = $8 / year fine per Norway user.

* I can't find Norway-specific revenue, but Meta's average revenue per user is $18 across Europe, but Norway could be higher than average. Outside Europe the highest is USA at $60. Assuming revenue / user is half way between this - $39 - this fine would be 20% of revenue.

* $39 per user would mean total revenue of $200m in Norway.

* Facebook turns 32 billion of revenue into 7.79 billion of net profit (24% of revenue to Net profit). This would mean profit of c£47m in Norway before the fine, and $12 billion after-fine.

This is with a fairly optimistic view of revenue per user - at the Europe average of $18 per user it would be a loss of $13m.

Another way to look at this is that if you population-adjust the fine to the world, it would be c$60 billion per year (although this is less accurate as it does not account for the fact that many regions have less users or are less profitable). Either way, Facebook can handle these fines in a handful of regions, but they can't handle these fines in all regions.

>New programmers want to write something visual; website or game maybe.

Don't know if you're a new programmer, but command line based examples, that are neither websites nor games nor visual, are the norm in almost every programming book, including almost all Python books.

This idea that Dive Into Python was somehow an exception or "quirky" because it didn't have examples of visual programs ("websites or games"), is entirely out of touch with programming books.

(And of course, dabeaz's reference is a different thing altogether, and even further away from "something visual; website or game maybe").
I've never been in favour of forcing clients to execute lots of (CPU/energy-consuming, potentially-unsafe, byte-heavy) imperative code rather than the server delivering finished or near-finished declarative HTML(+CSS). The particular language is not my main gripe!

It shows subsurface scattering, the shadows are realistic and coherent.

But just America itself will usually mean the USA.

In my experience, that's part of the negative side of pair programming as well, although I really like it in general.

- moved (this year) from Google Analytics to our InfluxDB instance (destroying all existing GA data)

- no longer even attempts to identify individual users
- necessary to be opt-in in order for us to be able to effectively run the project
So... what if the entire team does a group programming session?
