Or a consequentialist could respond that they accept that the specific hypothetical isn't wrong, but it's so divorced from practical reality that it isn't useful as a thought experiment.

I've also seen people argue that perpetrators of harm like this are also harmed.

Aside from all that, I know the instinct is to draw up thought experiments that provoke emotion, but using such a charged example is potentially alienating. I'm not saying we shouldn't be able to talk about hard topics, but that maybe bringing up rape (and such a specifically gendered one) as your thought experiment example in such a trivial discussion is a bit extreme.
Yes, created by hand, lots of techniques are required to get a well running system, GoT (graph of thought) RAG (retrieval augmented generation), Ko detection, dynamic problem decomposition, and a few more techniques I have invented but dont really have names for. Its also quite a bit more complicated than the simplistic answer I gave before because you have to do things like experiments in abstraction laddering to get good interface composability.

This space is moving so quick I run many experiments every day.

Custodial sentences already do punish families when they apply to anyone whose presence (or labour!) will be missed. This is one of the many problems of prison, namely, how can it be just to punish families who have not been party to a crime?
"Family" in medieval times was conceived much more broadly than today. So while back then the inner core of a family unit might have been much more dependent on each other and adhered to more of internally enforced rules, the actual family would have included many more people than you'd think of as "family" today with considerably less allegiance to those internally imposed rules. Also, back then power dynamics between generations and genders were different so i.e. the head of a household (oldest male in many societies) might not consider the happiness of a grand daughter relevant in his decision making.

I doubt that you can make a real comparison of the "utility" of family punishment between medieval times and today without diving deep into all these aspects.
I didn't mean to move goalposts, and I don't really believe this is something where you can be "right or wrong" about. Just expressing how I feel about it.

The thing I was implicitly thinking is that you might do that for somebody you care about, and ultimately things like debt forgiveness programs are also about giving compassion to people you might not know.

Yes, and you'd also learn what the author actually believes: that people who make others suffer should be made to suffer equally, even if doing so does not serve as a deterrent and leads to no useful or positive outcomes.

In order for that to work, the browser would have to actually implement an XSLT engine. I thought they all stopped shipping such engines about 10 years ago.

If you mean postprocessing the feed server-side with an XSLT sheet, to then serve the resulting page: sure, that would work, and a lot of people used to do things like that around 2003. It fell out of fashion because XSLT is just hard to safely combine with advanced JS-based features.

I think this article is focused on "multiplayer" in the contemporary non-game sense (which I still find weird).

However, I think an interesting thought experiment is a system that DOES share that secret state between players in a way where some facts are verifiable, but others are not. For example, when playing cards, I have the state of your hand in such a way that I can verify the card you played is valid, but cannot reasonably see (or find out) your hand.
While my own experience and bias would say this is a good thing, because it says "Sweden" I take it (and now my bias) with a grain of salt.

Sweden perform quite significantly worse than the rest of the Nordic countries when it comes to school and things such as PISA scores. I do remember seeing in high school (2007 or so) on TV, how Sweden got a bad score and the education minister flat out denied the suggestions by pisa just to push through their political promises
(smaller classes, which I think was mostly a politically motivated, to get teachers support)

I think you should probably look to Finland, its much better neighbor, when it comes to school policies.

Edit: apparently according to this article[1] the negative trend of declining scores have been reversed since 2016 so who knows, maybe this is a good thing

The latter is not "javascript" in general, it's just a Node.js (a specific v8 Javascript runtime + native integration and libs like fs bundle) API.

And the former windows version is JScript which is an implementation Javascript just using an different name for trademark reasons, but tied to an old version of the JavaScript standard (which is confusingly called "ecmascript" officially), plus some Windows-specific integrations, like ActiveXObject and COM/OLE support.

(There's also a later .NET version of JScript to add to the confusion).
Keep in mind that you're commenting in the thread about the iPhone 15, not the iPhone 15 Pro. With your comment you're comparing the new iPhone 15 with the features of last year's iPhone 14 Pro. The Pro features are always more extensive, just as this year's. The following year, most of those features typically trickle down to the non-Pro iPhone.
Because JScript was introduced back in Windows 98 and the modern APIs were introduced 10 years later (in the case of Node.js).

> For those indie clients, hitting 200K of revenue is a much closer dream than 1M of revenue

If you were using Unity you already had to update to Pro when you company hit 200k revenue (they actually changed this to per game now, I think?).

So fundamentally nothing really changed to that regard.

They added an option to not upgrade to Pro and pay the $0.2 per install instead. I can't imagine why would anyone do that though.

You'd basically have to have about 300-400k installs and revenue but require 10-20 seats so that paying per install would make more sense than upgrading you subscription.

I can only imagine this might be the case in some third world sweatshop where you pay you developers less than 10k per year..
That was a mess of branching logic. It's not that complicated.

Attacking anyone online is never "personally asked for", nor makes great reading, particularly when there's no substance other than insults.

"This person is rotten", followed by a pattern of insulting memes, doesn't put you on higher ground than the target of your attack (OP's attack).

Sounds like you'll justify an attack if the target has a minimum celebrity status or wealth?

A team of people would have worked hard on the sub. If it turns out not to be useful, that's unfortunate for everyone, which is where it should end. It's not a time to launch personal attacks and accusations about PR stunts against the efforts of multiple people.

The diver chose to do a TV interview and volunteer his toxic opinion about Musk. Nobody asked for that bizarre distraction from the rescue efforts. Obviously the diver didn't like Musk before the cave incident, and used his "hero" status to amplify and unload his grievances.
What the author brands "consequentialism" sounds like a more narrow brand of utilitarianism. Consequentialism is about more than minimising suffering or maximising happinesses. First we need to find our actual utility function, then maximise that. Of course, it doesn’t help that we humans don’t quite have a utility function, let alone know what it is.

My point being, I don’t think retributivism and consequentialism are incompatible, to the extent "balancing the scales of justice" is a significant part of our utility function. Retributivism and (old fashion) utilitarianism are.

Really weird post and discussion around it. The "family" is not some abstract entity / offender's property. The "family" is made of other humans. "Not punishing people that didn't do anything wrong" is pretty high at the list of my consequentialist morals.
It's harder to make a smaller phone, and they in smaller numbers (no economy of scale), so they need to cost more than bigger phones. But people don't want to pay more for "less", they think a smaller phone should be cheaper. So a small phone will never succeed in the market.

Apple once tried to work around this with the iPad mini by simply not offering that model with the lowest storage, so you HAD to pay their "storage upgrade tax" if you wanted a mini at all.

Olive oil is just vegetable oil made out of olives, but if "Lakonia olive oil" is registered as a PDO then it could only be made in the Greek region of Lakonia using local olives. Olive oil adulterated with other vegetable oils shouldn't be called "olive oil" in the first place. Some "Italian" olive oils are actually from Spain or a mix due to more competitive prices from Spain and EU subsidies. Btw, 2023 is a disastrous year for olive oil producers in Spain because of the spring heatwave which affected the flowering. It's so bad that there was a heist last week involving two tank trailers containing 500 hl worth of Spanish olive oil ready for bottling, totaling €0.5M.

Function-ified visitor pattern I guess? Python's NodeTransformer[0] is a good example of a thing like this though only across AST nodes.

Going along some previous discussions about jq, and stuff like specter (for Clojure), I do think it would be cool if there were more syntactic niceties for path expressions, extracting data from nested data structures/lists/etc, and applying transformations on them.

Specter can have a "nice DSL" (for certain definitions of nice!) thanks to Clojure's macro functionality. Haskell lenses get somewhere thanks to custom infix operator syntax being a thing. I have yet to see a library that tackles this nicely without those two tools though.

> Credit card are by default Debit Card

Credit cards are credit cards, even in Europe. It's just that banks issue debit cards, rather than credit cards and I think that the point. You're financial business in much of the EU is between you and your bank, not some third party credit card company. The debit cards rides on top of the networks built by VISA and MasterCard (and others) for the credit card industry, but the actual financials are between you and your bank. The bank doesn't want you to owe the credit card companies money, they want you to owe them money, but that's normally done using a loan or allow overdraft of your account.

I really think the difference is in the banks and their involvement. Now I'm not suggestions that EU banks are awesome and cuddly entities, but they are more regulated and easily replaceable within many EU country. E.g. switching banks is really not a problem it takes a few days and you don't have to do anything.

Most would probably agree, but then you're adding a layer of complexity on top of what could be a very simple client/server application that satisfies 80% of your users. There is more "cheap" software out in the world than robust, complex software because most software doesn't make it far from MVP.

Credit card use varies substantially amongst European countries. In countries such as Norway, Switzerland, Finland, and the UK, more than 60% of the adult population has a credit card. And it's more than 55% in Germany, Austria, Spain, and Italy[1]

Cash-back credit cards are rare in the UK and Europe not because of bans, but simply because of the interchange fee caps which don't leave enough margin for card companies to offer them.

Swedish parent here. I have not seen any effect from this yet. Hopefully there will be some improvements in time for my youngest kid. A new year in school began last month, and for my oldest kids what "acquiring knowledge primarily from freely available digital sources that have not been vetted for accuracy" means in practice (and if anything, so far it has been worse this last month than ever before): Each child gets a Chromebook. They get assignments through Google Classroom. Typically the assignments are things like "here are 20 questions; find answers!" and they are more or less on their own Googling and reading Wikipedia to figure things out. I noticed for a few assignments they get lists of recommended reading as well, and sometimes links to youtube videos that are relevant. And links to some awful, ad-riddled, quiz-site, for practice, that at least one of the teachers like to link to.

If I understand correctly some of the linked articles and videos are on some paywalled sites containing content specially made for school, so presumably there was some vetting there? When I had a brief look at some articles on subjects I happen to know a bit about I was not particularly impressed though. The printed books they used to have were WAY better.

Not that I am sure things are automatically better on paper. I read 99% ebooks and prefer that to books. But what they get now is not anything like the same books, but digitally, unfortunately. And linking to ad-supported sites, in addition to all the Google-dependencies, makes it worse.

On the positive side, my oldest son quickly figured out how to install Linux on his Chromebook to run games. I do not think they are allowed to do that, but I am not going to read the fine print to find out.

The comment I was responding to was lamenting the potentially slow speed of chemical reactions in batteries, so I recommended super capacitors specifically for the case where a higher rate of discharge is required. I agree lithium is potentially good enough there, I am merely speculating on solutions in the event that an ultra powerful vehicle really could exceed lithium’s capabilities.

As for the general public, I can’t say. I use super capacitors in the power system for my solar powered robot and I love them. Through that experience I have realized they have plenty of other applications.
