About: Making software for 33+ years.. seen *many* terminals, languages, designs, projects, customers, teams, organisations and cultures.. and *attitudes*.
Now a CTO of Fintech; usually wearing many hats, always hands-on.
Have my own python course, coding style, some open-sourced things, and even opinions.

Looking for Mentoring a team. About programming and life - with me coming there.. or them coming here. As Playing trainer, within the team and the project. Did it once officially, 2013/Ericsson/Ireland - 10 newbies, young+old, 4 months.. all seniors now. Many times unofficially, 2005 Singapore or 2019 Varna.. Life-coached few persons. Made good friends along.

Can also happens as a senior IC / Principal/Staff engineer.. or engineering manager, or even CTO.

i mean - architecting, coding, requirements, reverse engineering, DIY, decisions, strategy - is fine, but management-politics isn't. i like teaching people what i know, 42, and how to live as programmer, without going crazy, and without making others crazy.
And how to tweak or redo that function- interface- architecture- app- or.. relation, so all works better together. Nudging or nagging here-there, smiling or kicking elsewhere..
IMO the interesting part of software, is the people. Technicals.. are solvable.

have fun
What’s your way of seeing things?
SuperCollider is targeted at composers/musicians/artists, not video game developers, so I don't see how that is relevant.
It’s because they wanted their cake and eat it too, get as close as possible to the 4th amendment without crossing the line.

Put simply, if they have knowledge of it they have a duty to report, but they can’t be compelled to try and find out.

In theory this means that if they happen to stumble upon it or are being alerted to it by a third party (e.g. user report) then they have to report it, in practice many voluntarily monitor it, maybe because they want to avoid having to litigate that they didn’t have knowledge of it or maybe because it’s good PR or maybe because they care for the case.

I think in most cases it’s all of the above in one degree or another.
I still don't understand how you can be "proud" to have been randomly born in a specific country.

You can be happy to be an American, or you can feel a deep connection to your country, you can proudly defend certain values, but being proud of having "won" the birth lottery? I don't get it.
Management of companies that are on the stockmarket is completely backwards. They should have zero responsibility to their shareholders. Stockmarket is a casino and shares are tokens. When you hold tokens you can't spin the rulete wheel.
What is the solution here, if you don't mind me asking. I feel partial here to X, because it just "works", but as the article this cites, there are real issues to X and this afflicts the upstream developers, whom we need to develop our windowing system in the first place.
It surprises me that people think their common $CLOUD_STORAGE_PROVIDER doesn't already scan files for child exploitation material.
If you have baseboards or carpet, this job becomes much easier.

You can get thin or flat cables that you can just push between the carpet and baseboard. If you have hard floors, you can get a trim crowbar and pull the baseboards off. As long as you are careful, when you replace them and add a bit of caulk, it will look like new. Going around door frames is usually not so difficult: the worst case is that you would need to remove the baseboard from both sides and drill through the floor plate, which will also be invisible after you've finished.

If you have a run that would have to go under carpet, you can use an undercarpet fish tape and some very thick sewing needles to raise the carpet and underpad at any place it is stuck.

If you would have to go through a wall, often there is a cable box in the same section of the wall on both sides. That would let you string a cable between the boxes. In some cases you can add a box without it being obvious. Most corporate landlords aren't going to remember if the 11th layout in their building has an ethernet box in that location.

This article mistakes "altruism" with "cooperation". With cooperation there are no free gifts, everything comes with strings attached. And defection and breaking rules is punished!
The more I see of the world the more I agree with OP, what's your point?
It's more like we pay half our salary in taxes and then we get terrible education and a healthcare system where you can't even get an appointment.

Anything that must be true. Taking a sqrt of a float f? Assert f is positive.

Can't read from a closed file? Assert the file is open.

The classic, transferring cash from account a to account b? Assert that a+b before = a+b after.

Object should be in a given state after a certain method is invoked? Assert it.

It is possible to assert some invariants at compile time using strong typing, that's pretty useful too and I'm learning to do that myself (nothing clever, it's just thinking of 2 different classes to represent 2 different states, or use phantom types). More complex compile-time assertions are possible using dependent types, but that's out of my pay grade at the moment.

Edit: assertions can come before and/or after the thing is done. Technically if you're checking before then it's a pre-condition you want to ensure, if it's after, then it's a post-condition check you're doing. Let's take the square root example, and assume that you're actually implementing a sqrt function, not just calling a library function. The pre-condition is as before, that f must be positive, and the post-condition is that for the result r, r*r = f (if you've successfully taken the square root of a thing, squaring it should get you back to the original value, or at least very, very close).

More like weaponized by making it a moat against “PC”, and so Google did its thing.
Yeah, Ashoka is terribly written.

Weird how the same organization wrote the brilliant Andor!
There's an important element of cultural context. In England if you say you're proud of being English that might sometimes be associated with nationalism, which in turn sometimes is associated with racist parties and groups. Flying the St George's Cross (outside big international sporting events) can sometimes have this connotation. As far as I understand it there's no such connotation for flying the American flag
I'm totally on board with fewer magical abstractions. But I would consider coroutines to be at the same layer of abstraction as simple procedures.

Now, you can build coroutine systems on top of procedural semantics (and trivially vice-versa) — indeed this is how many coroutine implementations are built under the hood — and since we're so used to procedural programming it's natural to assume that coroutines are a magical abstraction layer on top of procedures.

But from a strictly semantic perspective (disregarding implementation), I think coroutines are best thought of as their own distinct class of non-procedural control flow, as generalisations of procedures.

Being generalisations, coroutines provide fewer restrictions, but also fewer guarantees than procedures. So I don't think they're appropriate for all code. Specifically, coroutines kill temporal proximity guarantees: if everything is a coroutine, everything can suspend at any time (to be fair, any procedure can fail to return, but this is rarer). It's similar to exceptions in that respect.

So your point about tracking bugs is extremely relevant. With great power comes great responsibility. The current approach is to isolate coroutine functionality from the procedural core (either by very explicitly making them objects like Python generators, or by colouring them and requiring them to be executed in a context like in Kotlin). But I don't think they are quite as magical as they seem, rather just different.

(Tangential note: I've always thought it would be interesting to have a language that flipped this, and embedded procedural guarantees within an all-coroutine (or even all-continuations) semantic structure.)
But models like GPT-4 depend on good quality training data, and that resource is limited, means maybe we aren't so long away from peak at least for LLMs.

There is no unlimited growth, and after the low hanging fruits each step in progress will be exponentially harder.
Your place sounds reasonable. I presume it's mostly banks and other such enterprises handling sensitive information. My wife has has to use FF with extensions disabled. Their IT made the right choices on this one

and it creates all the wrong incentives since they're overdoing it by quite a bit. it also forces people to less optimal decisions because they need to avoid taxes. at the end of the day, this makes them less resilient, since governments won't be fast enough to react to new developments and incentivized to actually solve problems.

edit: just to add to this: I don't think pooling / sharing is bad, there are many cases where this makes sense (investments, insurance), especially when it's voluntary, but it's easy to overdo it in a forced model. European living abroad btw, familiar with many different ways people live.
It does somewhat add up. I'm 42, and got our first 33.6k modem around 13-14yo. And we definitely weren't the first ones in my relatives.
Het Schip is Amsterdamse School, which uses a lot of elements of art deco (e.g. rounded brick stone walls), but also tries to keep things simple, yet quality, which feels more Bauhaus.

I recently bought a house from 1918 in Amsterdamse School style and am trying to reflect this in the interior as well (exterior is already beautifully done).

I really like that they called the housing worker's palaces. You can definitely see that in the attention to detail.
While I agree that your child is not you and FOSS doesn't need to be your child's value, it needs to be said that

FOSS is the software author's value. It correlates with the author's intentions, their incentive and the software's shape and influence on the user – your child. It's a way to delineate content you want your child to see and that which you don't (and thus we circle back to the idea that you imposing a policy ultimately means imposing your values anyway).
Interesting. That makes sense but in my experience if an assertion is triggered because something went wrong, I tend to add more assertions 'higher up' the call chain to try to catch the cause of the assertion being triggered. Basically, to fail earlier.
You know how much trolling, pirated games and porn predates the internet as you may know it? Just take a look at the BBS scene and Usenet... yeah, it may have been very low res titties but alas... ;-)

Mostly the second one. You’ll have a single bit of boilerplate checking the current state and jumping to the right bit of code; but when you’re actually implementing the core logic of your state machine, you’ll be doing lots of “state = do_the_next_thing; return” instead of just calling “do_the_next_thing()” directly.
It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact reasons but Singapore constructed to be a nationalistic/patriotic country. Children are made to sing the National anthem and recite the National pledge every morning in school, sent to participate in the National Parade at least once in their lives, constantly reminded of the fragility of the Nation from foreign influences (Total Defence), all males are conscripted into what is called National Service for a period of two years. Coupled with the lack of civil and political liberties, resulting in the infantilization of the citizens, even justified criticism of the country is often considered as an attack on the country and/or their identity. The conflation of the state with the government with the one-party authoritarian system makes that even worse. [0]

It's hard to attribute replicable causitive agency to any success.

If say Dolly Parton started a successful restaurant chain with line dancing waiters and barrels of hay everywhere, that doesn't mean country time jamborees are the things to be copied. There's a greater context that all these things exist in and they work holistically and specifically in a way that's codependent on everything else including uncontrollable external factors.

You can't extract and replicate and expect success. If only it was that easy...
If they build an actual livable European-type town I'll be impressed.

The only problem with this model is that it doesn't seem to be working long term. Economically, Europe has been stagnating for a long time, and recently its been in a decline.
So it's a nice model as long as you can maintain it, which doesn't seem to be very long.

Some time ago I asked myself: why did gambling become so addictive? You always loose, but it’s so powerfully addictive the behaviour must be beneficial in some way. It occurred to me that you always loose when doing “artificial gambling” (casinos, horse races etc) but “natural gambling” is different. Should we explore this coastline, should we try and cultivate this plant, should we run this scientific experiment? These bets may not pay off individually, but for the overall population over time they always pay off. The natural world has ergodicity.
I left the EU and lived in many places, travelled to more. Always happy to be back; it's not perfect, but it's worse elsewhere.
Still not a reason for parents to follow. Replace "smartphone" with "heroin" or "taser" and ask the same question.
well you need to in a public system that's overloaded, so you lose both when paying in and again when you need to get treatment.

All we need is more doctors and nurses and that is not the fault of any kind of insurance. 8000 doctors graduate from medical school in the US each year and fail to match with a residency because there simply aren’t enough spots. That can be fixed.
The whole article properly the best explanation of generators I have come across. This quote stuck out:

> Generators are a special type of function that can return multiple pieces of data during its execution. Traditional functions can return multiple data by using structures like Arrays and Objects, but Generators return data whenever the caller asks for it, and they pause execution until they are asked to continue to generate and return more data.

Applications of generators? I have only used Redux-Saga[1]. Can't even think of other libraries that use them, but would be interested in learning.

It’s not fair to compare any country to the US since they get to export their inflation.

> It’s not something the GOP ginned up to get votes FFS.

You're wrong on this one. The GOP is unbelievably craven and corrupt. Paul Weyrich (founder of the super successful conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation) explicitly demagogued the abortion issue to activate evangelical voters and create a large conservative voting bloc (with the ultimate end of creating segregated Christian schools) [0]. He wrote about it himself; he's proud of it.

PokerTH – open-source Poker App
My daughter is two, so we just have a daily, timeboxed ritual for looking at screens and that's it - modern equivalent of watching TV if you will[0].

I think the important part is to never, ever let this be a substitute for parental attention.

My plan for the future is to:

-Start with a quiz on online safety/dark patterns and grant privileges based on the knowledge she acquires and internalizes.

-Give data allowance. It so happens that the most addictive online behaviours are the most data-hungry. You can browse Wikipedia or even text with your friends on 32kbps. On the flipside, you can blow through gigabytes in one evening with TikTok.

[0] Regarding that I found that it's difficult for me to figure out where to put boundaries because I wasn't given any, since both of my parents were addicted to screens - just their 90s equivalent - television. My dad would get home from work, turn on the thing and watch it until past my bedtime.

I settled for boundaries that I'm familiar with, so timeboxing, allowance and competence tests similar to e.g. a driving license.
I feel the easiest path around this is to use wireless charging instead of plugging into a multi-use port. As we have seen operationalized USB attacks, I don’t quite buy the premise of the article.
Yep. Delimited continuations and proper tail calls gives a superpower. (Even PTC alone...)
The vast majority of people in Europe pays nowhere near half our salary in taxes. Only a few countries have total tax wedges (including employer payroll taxes) that reach that level for more than small minorities of the population.

I mean it's funny, but I don't know if I'd call it true. It was more that if you didn't know an address you could bet that the pub would help direct. (Probably wouldn't work anymore because all the rural pubs are closing)

Theres a difference between a system and embodied knowledge. I did a lot of work with systems which used Irish addresses early in my career.

"An Post", pre-eircode operated off a traditional hierarchical address system. Where there were "Counties" a real political boundary, "Post towns" which were usually big market towns but the location of a major sorting office, "Localities" (sometimes more than one) which were geographically undefined (we tried) at worst areas and some combination of street and buildings. The hierarchy was not strictly defined, it was a bit hungover.

My own address can be a combination of:
<House number> <Street>, <Post town>
<House number> <Street>, <Locality>+, <Post town>

Most of these were optional. The "Pub" thing is a testament to how awesome the staff at An Post are at just getting a letter to a door. If you needed to send a letter to "Mary O'Shea" who you knew lived in Kerry and near "Paudie O'Sheas pub" you can bet that if you put "Mary O'Shea, Near Paudie O'Shea's Pub, Kerry" you can bet the letter would get to Kerry, someone in Kerry would know Paudie O'Sheas is in Ventry, Send it on to Dingle and he postie doing the rounds in Ventry would be like "Ah right, thats for Mary" and the only catch being: about 60% of the Female population of West Kerry are probably called some combination of "Mary" and "O'Shea".

I'd imagine logistics companies were dancing for joy with every house having a unique post-code.
Am I the only one confused by why anyone would want to go with Toptal considering what is written in the article?
"This is, by the way, exactly how these things are supposed to work: Someone points out a vulnerability in technology and its manufacturers or developers figure out a way to fix it."

Uh.. no. It should be designed with security in mind which is obviously wasn't.
As an individual participant you can optimize your outcomes further by hiding some gains and claiming them as losses. In this way, you can extract more from the system. You have an added cost of determining whether to hide a particular win and an added cost of hiding the win itself. But in exchange you can juice your returns.

Therefore, just like so many old economic puzzles rely on ergodicity, this one relies either on full cooperation: either through honesty or through cheap verification (either through transparency or something else).

With that assumption visible, we can see why such an obviously positive result still doesn’t result in that action among informed participants when that precondition is not met.
To hell with mobile app only washing machines, dude. If that's the price of admission into the glorious future, I don't want no part of it.
