> every ISBN should have the author's bank account number next to it and obtaining a copy of the ebook should be as simple as sending $X to that bank account, then finding a torrent by ISBN.

which is fine, except what happens if the author sold the rights to another company that then demand a different set of condition?

Or are you saying that the owner of said copyright does not have the right to decide such (for example, they would want to decide that the works is only available as part of something else sold)?
Meet is barely usable - I don't understand how Google can make such a garbage product when their other products are actually decent (Pixel, Search, Android etc.)
but in the US it is taxed? i don't know how, I assume it's based on what you walk out with. or maybe just the big winnings? i don't know.
This is an interesting idea but one that will, if anything, increase piracy. Given a torrent link and a bank account number, how many people will think "let me try the book first for a bit, if I like it I'll pay" and then never come around to pay? Or even not care about paying at all, nobody will notice or be able to track, so you're basically safe from law enforcement.
Thanks for the information! I figured I hadn't really scratched the surface on this stuff.

Why 6 months looks to me like 3 months.
If one could only buy minivans these times. If you're in Europe, you're out of luck. There is an outdated Sharan/Alhambra with tech from 2015 and tiny TSI engine with whopping 14s 0-100 km/h acceleration. And a bit more modern Ford Galaxy. Or you can buy a minivan from USA, but 99% of them are after huge accidents. And that's basically it. So people buy SUVs.

Tiresome doesn't necessarily mean physically tired. Words do have meaning, and you would know if you read those meaning to understand the idea being presented.
The collaboration thing isn't as simple as it seems though. Yes it becomes easier to reach people, but that means it also becomes easier to disrupt people.

If I am disrupted 5 times with 5 small things in an hour, that will slow me down significantly more than if I am disrupted by one big thing in that same hour.

For a tech analogy (we're on HN after all), being in the office reduces latency but in doing so can also reduce throughput.

For the kind of work managers do latency can be critical, so from their perspective being in the office is extremely helpful. Other can be most productive when given large amounts of time to focus on a single task in which case latency is far less critical.
No, none of these.

The commit graph is effectively append-only, but the named pointers into that graph can be reassigned at will, which means some commits can become (more or less) unreachable and eligible for garbage collection.

There is a nuance I love to bring up: .NET biggest strength in the apps market today is the best support for native interop. Bridging .NET to Swift/Objective-C or .NET to (Android) Java. Every time there are layer in between, you loose. Either by loosing performance (your case) or by loosing capabilities (like the typical Cordova, React Native or Flutter Plugin).

Apple is not prohibiting anything. This is purely Amazon's decision. They make customer's life hell to save money.
Looking at some of the examples of closed PR's I'm seeing tests that meet the bare minimum but don't actually test features/components in a meaningful way. For example I saw one that checks if giving a value to the suffix or prefix prop will make that value appear in the DOM, but it doesn't actually test if the suffix comes after the main content.

It got merged so clearly the devs find value in the work but I wouldn't call that production ready.
It's just a read-only Twitter mirror.
Oooooh, custom search engines.

Amazon would hate this, but make a deal with shopify to speed up spidering their sites. Then, spider all other retailors.

You put in a product id/name, and it only shows results from amazon, shopify sites, and vetted retailers.

The manual curation part, is vetting the retail site. Walmart would be a problem(for example), unless it was easy to tag 'sold by walmart'. Amazon's filter would only include shipped by amazon stuff.

So like 'hanes t-shirt', and you get 7 links, from 7 sites, all woth prices and shipping cost estimates.

Amazon has horrible pricing, bordering on predatory for some things. Maybe I'll do this, I'm bored this summer.
I can accept the lack of ground clearance but lack of power is not your problem on snow. I would bet that this is traction control related. Modern traction control are for the road and they suck big time in the snow because they don't allow any slippeage. I currently drive an electric RWD car and live at the end of a 2km mountain road with +20% slopes that can get snowed in for a few days before being plowed. On normal traction control, I don't get anywhere but using sports mode made it work like god damn magic.
Maybe. But if I’ve learned anything from the layoffs I’ve been a part of or adjacent to, it’s that executives don’t share an engineer’s understanding of who might be a valuable engineer.

At the size of these companies they couldn’t possibly hold that understanding in their head. So they’re thinking more about budgets and strategies, assured by their peers that we’re all replaceable in the end. They’re not entirely wrong.

Of course, later (once the economy recovers and hiring resumes) they’ll cry that new employees aren’t picking up context or contributing fast enough, things seem to be moving slower, coordination is lacking etc.
Reactive Programming I guess is the key to GUIs from F#/FP perspective. It is the modern way of doing things anyway but requires then a UI stack which is optimized for it.
To some degree a lot of people are now finding OCaml via dev YouTube influencers who highlight OCaml without actually having used it. There's a lot of enthusiasm, kind of like how lots of people were loving and super excited about Rust without ever using it even for toy programs.

Edit:

I have used OCaml in production and currently I don't see a point to doing it again for the vast majority of problems. From a holistic language + runtime point of view OCaml occupies a space where it's not useful enough from a runtime perspective to replace any of the more convenient languages that exist and not low-level enough to fill the spot of any of the good alternatives in that space. Modularity-wise functors are nice but ultimately plenty of alternatives exist even it the lower-level languages.

With all that said, people should probably use the hell out of it if they're excited. It's a bit tiring seeing the constant stream of misinformation regarding alternatives to OCaml, though. There are good reasons it's losing out in industrial use to even languages like Haskell.
Mutation is fine in pragmatic functional programming and IMO is not the defining feature what makes it so good for industrial use cases. Functional programming must allow easy immutable programs, and you can do that in SQL by never erasing anything (which will require a bit more bookkeeping for sure).
That would lead to weird behavior since the OEIS is sorted by number of references, which I think prefers "interesting" solutions over straightforward ones. For (1, 2, 3), the positive integers are only ranked 5th -- the top hit are the Fibonacci numbers. It's funny to think about.

Your functional core also includes an imperative core inside it. Most of your “pure” functions modify the process page table and GC roots. Basically all the runtime is imperative. Finally some of your functions are written in something equivalent to the ST monad to have reasonable performance.
Yeah, I don't really know what a 'poweruser looked to switch to Linux' even means. It doesn't compute. A poweruser is a highly proficient user. If you're looking to switch to Linux from Mac, you might be a Mac poweruser but you're not going to be a poweruser in Linux, because you're starting mostly from scratch. And if you're a Windows poweruser, then you're going to be starting entirely from scratch.

So the generic 'poweruser looking to switch to Linux' really makes no sense to me. You can't just be a 'poweruser' in the abstract. A poweruser is a poweruser of something, the thing they are highly proficient at using.
IMO you need to see how the SELECT queries are 100% functional to understand properly the power of it which is based on its relational algebra and the closure property of that algebra. Then the basic relational algebra was augmented with a lot of stuff but it's still functional in the end.

Yeah, it’s the ecosystem, not the paradigm.

In .net, most UI stuff is easy on C# and semi-painfull on F# because of limited tooling and examples. I don’t see any theoretical reason why a usable functional language could not be used everywhere. The ecosystem maturity and tooling are the limiting factors.

Make IETF standard for cloud notebooks

- If there is an username/password then

- Login from the screen

- If the backend (dropbox or MS or nextcloud or webdav) supports

* Bookmarks etc

This would mean they can claim that chromebooks are

My bad, my reader view cut the tweet off and just showed the original.

Still, his phrasing doesn’t indicate it’s over for him, just bordering - perhaps explains everything they’re seeing, but it’s :

* not LK99

* a conjecture

* isolated to magnetic properties that are acknowledged to be novel and don’t rule out messier effect

* ignore other claimed properties like resistivity

Also, something explaining everything you are seeing is again a demonstration of an alternative, as is evinced by the material not being LK99, that claimed LK99 as a ceramic without a reliable method of production with a claimed low production rate (less than 10% of runs claimed by the original authors, with them claiming to have done over 1000 runs to produce their sample).

Again: I think it’s time for science to take the helm and hottakes to take a back seat for a while. I expect we will have something noteworthy either way by the end of the year. By the end of the month conclusions are fun gimmicks. I’m down with fun and love a good gimmick, but I’ll withhold belief in either direction until the original teams paper is released, their claimed sample is analyzed independently, more details of the claimed process are released to allow replication, and any novel properties have a stronger theoretical explanation. It’s extraordinarily unlikely they have found a room temperature super conductors, but not impossible. Regardless, they’ve discovered something novel and that, by definition to any scientist, is interesting.

Exactly, they don't need to be orthogonal in my opinion. Every language should strive to be in the top right quadrant.

Keep in mind, this is just what I value in a language. The perfect programming language to me is one that is expressive while also being easy to read. I think Python is nice in that regard, and probably why it's so popular to this day. But there's always room for improvement!

Death isn't just a critical part of the individual life -- rather, it seems key to evolution itself, biological or otherwise. clearing the slate/setting a timeout on any given system seems to be a good way to evict the accumulation of fixed points/cycles and other non-global-maxima that accumulate.

I'm completely talking out of my ass here, but I suspect systems will tend towards rent seeking/"cheating"/maintaining a status quo/really, just "overfitting" to the environment by making the ecosystem around them dependent on them.

Death ensures resiliency and progress. If we ever actually achieve some form of (pseudo-)immortality, i'd hope that we introduce an "afterlife" which removes the post-mortal from "living" society/ecosystems after s certain point. at most, living society should be able to inspect & affect the post-living system (afterlife), but the post living system should be airgapped from being able to (at least, directly) affect the living one at all. that said, i'd be wary about indirect affects. to die is to not influence. i'm still influenced by the memory/simulacrum of my grand mother who raised me until middle school. thats some degree of affect on my ecosystem, but it isnt what i would call direct.

i suppose there need not be a singular timeout or ecosystem a system is depolyed to, so long as it converges to zero. Heck, not even monotonically nor with a consistent cohort of systems.
Why slap additional charge on top if it is ICE? Some ICE cars emit less CO2 over their lifetime than EVs, especially when driven only in city, on short distances, in which case the lower CO2 emissions from driving don't offset much higher manufacturing emissions of EV. Also ICE cars cause less pollution from tire wear.

Okay, so Steps 1-2 can be explained by the closed ecosystem of the device. You don't get these hurdles if your device is not closed-off.

Step 3 can be explained by the retailer of that good complying with international IP laws.

Step 4 is just step 1 for everyone else.

Step 5 is a legitimate WTF moment.

Step 6 is once again the result of avoiding the open ecosystem (the web).

Of those 6 steps that the GP complained about:

1. 3 of them are self-inflicted because of his choice of device and usage,

2. 1 is due to legal issues,

3. 1 is not a valid complaint,

4. 1 is an actual and valid complaint about the lack of a feature in the app.

Everybody in Germany and most of the rest of Europe, too. There are exceptions but generally not for your run-of-the-mill techy. And even if you work whenever you like, your employer is obligated to show that you worked no more than is allowed by law. (That's the purpose of time recording, protect the worker from too much overtime.)

How you do that differs, but there are companies that run clock-systems for that -- many of them are coupled to the access control systems of your office/factory, so when you use your ID card to enter the building, you automatically clock in. Others require you to maintain timesheets in one system or the other.

How reliable these systems reflect how much time you actually worked is up to debate, but as employer you get into serious trouble if you don't have them.
