The difference is in the way that the transformations compose.

Iterators are generic over some iterable type `U` in `E, R, T: Iterator<E, R, U|T>, U: Iterable<E>` that they either directly or indirectly capture some nested Iterator.

However that means that code composing iterators must also be generic over that iterable `U`, so you can't simply take two transformation pipelines and concatenate them, because they will both provide an element source already.

Transducers separate the transformation part and the processing part.
So you can have a `E, R, T: Transform<E, R>` which doesn't have a generic type parameter for the Iterable, and a function `transduce<E, R, S: Source<E>, I: Sink<R>, T: Transform<E, R>>(source: S, tx: T) -> I` which contains all the transformation application machinery, be it iterator style `next()` operations, or stream based `pull/push` operations,
and a function `comp<E, R, S>(left: Transform<E, R>, right: Transform<R, S>) -> Transform<E, S>` that composes transformations. The way transformers are implemented, this `comp` operation is actually simply function composition.
Having to put food on the table, plus the shitty business model (or lack thereof) of open source, means that it is probably either charging or not having the apps at all. The author has written code and released it under liberal licenses for years, and now they want (or worse, need because their life conditions changed) some income from the effort.

> they could someday stop updates to these apps too to replace them with another monetization scheme

The code is still being written and kindly released under the terms of an open source license, so if that happens, I'd expect that sufficiently motivated people moved by strong needs or ideals would be able to fork it and keep using (and possibly even improving) them without issue, as the license explicitly allows for it.

Maybe, but I'll suggest an alternative view that's probably unpopular: big ad companies walk a fine line between what knowledge they can share even from _inside_ the same company. Ad sellers cannot have perfect information for probably several reasons: auditing, privacy, safety, and legal. Evidence of this is that ads are reported as being encrypted between business units (e.g. if you work on ranking product listings, you may no idea what ad is injected at the top).

Obviously the result looks stupid to us as consumers which is quite memorable. I suggest it is a by-product of intentional choices. IMO this is a better explanation than "oh this company is just too stupid to do it right, but also they are all knowing about everything you do and are just so doggone evil." Maybe they are that evil, but I am sure they have learned how not to overturn their apple cart and this is an obvious result of that.

I did work in PCW's office a few times.

I think it was Quark Xpress on classic MacOS. So there would be an artfully-designed template into which my edited copy was poured.

I did like PCW's design, though.

I worked for Heise for a while, and got to read and take material from Linux Magazine, both in English and German. I find German typographical design awful myself and I think most German print tech mags look really bad...

But I think that to German eyes, British print material looks so glossy and (to borrow a musical term) over-produced that the instinctive response is to distrust it: it looks like advertising or "advertorial".

What to me looks cheap and amateurish and ugly, I suspect to a German looks trustworthy and honest.

Whereas as a Brit, American advertising looks so plastic and fake that I instinctually distrust it. It's all acres of gleaming white teeth and fake smiles, with a big glob of disclaimer squeezed in somewhere, and it makes me recoil from the product.

Cf. product naming.

The last motorcycle I owned was a Kawasaki ZZR-1100 (a "zed zed are eleven hundred"). To Brits, the numbers sound hi-tech and exciting.

In Japan it was a ZX-11. Maybe that reminds Brits of budget Sinclair computers too much?

In America it's a ZX11 Ninja. Zee ecks eleven Ninja.

To a Brit that makes it sound like a childrens' toy. I wouldn't want to be seen dead on a bike called a "ninja". I'm not 11 and I do not aspire to be a turtle.
Reminds me of Mark Twain's quote "I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one."
Most of his grave was ruined by the Israeli government, and you'll find no parliament members in Israel who publicly endorses Goldstein. None, not even the most radical right extremists in the current government. Privately some radical Israeli politicians like Itamar Ben Gvir probably like what Goldstein did but

a) they're in the minority

b) they're not giving any publicity to their private thoughts

Palestinian terrorists however get a rockstar status in Palestinian society including streets named after them and a monthly salary given by the PLO if they're imprisoned.
I can confirm this. My house had cheap low-flush toilets that were absolutely horrible. They clogged daily and were difficult to plunge and I began storing a bucket near every toilet so I could efficiently carry out the routine plunging sessions.

I was hesitant to buy new toilets because I figured they’re all low-flush, so what difference would it make? I found a top-reviewed model on Home Depot and it made a huge difference. Went from everyday clogs to a clog maybe once every few months. I replaced all my toilets and it’s the best home upgrade I ever did.
"The company mixes volcanic ash, stones, plastic waste and cement to make its bricks"

"[plastic] entombed in eco-friendly bricks."

Jesus christ will this hideous meme product and smug articles about it never die??? This isn't eco friendly - it's complex waste! Plastic by itself is recyclable but plastic mixed up with shit is so much harder! Plastic leaches toxins. It disintergrates into microplastics in the sun! Why on earth would you put it in a matrix that gets exposed to the sun all the time?

This is the construction equivalent of ammonia and chlorine. Fucking hell the third world is gonna be the end of itself.

They're not even using waste plastic they're using donated plastic from households, a clean, sorted waste stream. That the dream of any recycling company! You should be doing pyrolysis with this crap and turning it back into oil, not making long term pollutants!!

The Africans are doing this too. You truly can take anything and label it eco-friendly these days. :(

Indeed.

But fewer people are in abject poverty today than at any point in the last two centuries — approximately 965 million in 1820 when the world population was a 1.08 billion, versus approximately 700 million in 2017, and higher than that in all intervening years — because while improvements have been imperfectly distributed, they have actually happened.

And for many of them, the renewable options are the cheapest ways to rise out of poverty.
Yeah thats not true.

A large number of developers never master the basics, that is true. But more interestingly, absolutely zero programmers can write a good amount of code that is free of bugs.

If your road to safety is bugfree code, it will end up in an accident sooner or later, 100% guaranteed.
I haven't checked code - but since my wiring had the dishwasher and garbage disposal shared on a single 20A, I would expect that each now have a requirement to not consume more than 1200W.

At 1200W and a 2.5 gallon wash cycle, I'd expect heating from 70 to 130F would take about 20 minutes. Unless the pre-rinse cycle was extended, I would expect this would mean the soap was released at the start of the wash cycle before the water was to temperature.

There's also a lot of wacky christian folklore that is very popular in evangelical America that has to do with Israel being involved in the "end days". Some nutjobs feel that a strong Israeli state will hasten the rapture or some nonsense like that. There are a good number of those folk in elected positions, but also the evangelical crowd is inordinately influential in US politics, so it weasels it's way into many different facets of policy making. It's just one aspect of a complex picture though.
Same reason the US spies on all of its friends?

An actual reason I have heard is that it is as important to have independent information on your allies than it is on your enemies. Even if it is only for better coordination.

It is naive to think any news outlet shouldn't be regarded with any amount of suspicion. Bias exists everywhere, if you select a news source and blindly trust it you're going to be misled some day.
I do not think that such a language has been developed. The complexity of how a CPU, with several levels of caching, RAM, harddrives (with their own caching), and network storage (with their own caching) is simply mind boggling.

For that reason, I think that this route is not often taken. I guess that whenever modeling of execution is performed it is done to analyse the behaviour of an existing implementation in order to find ways to improve it.

If there is someone who has made an attempt to do something in this direction, I think it is Donald E. Knuth in his 'The Art of Computer Programming'. I think, for example about section 5.4 'External sorting' in Volume 3 'Sorting and Searching' [1].

I think it's also acceptable for the country to just be advanced enough that everyone knows they could build nukes very quickly if it came down to it.

Japan has the American nuclear umbrella, but it's also obvious to most people interested in the topic that if faced with an existential threat and if for some reason the US didn't fulfill its treaty obligations, Japan could build its own bombs within a year or two.
The price is most determined by the competition and acceptable margins. As long as carbon emissions permits are applied universally at the market level making sure no one carrier can subvert those fees, it is likely that the rise in ticket prices would be much lower than the rise in taxes to the airlines.

As a side-effect, I’m wishfully dreaming that trains will become cheaper and make more attractive against short-haul flights.

That’s 28 bits. Loop through 256 million of these strings, and you’re bound to find a hit.

Bitcoin difficulty is at around 50 bits (https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_difficulty#:~....)

It also uses SHA256.

So, if my logic is right (is it? That seems awfully cheap to me), this is about 2^22 times as easy as mining a bitcoin. Bitcoin is at about $25k, so there are people who can find hits like this one for way less than a cent.

I am that Liam :-) but the design isn't mine. It's a default Dreamwidth theme which I didn't choose or touch.

I think it is intentionally retro and that is why it looks good.

In contrast, compare with the WinAmp website:

https://www.winamp.com/

As soon as I saw the new site, I knew the new version of the program would be junk and wasn't even worth evaluating.

All huge, wasteful of space, nasty animations wasting my time and my CPU cycles. It's plastic sh1t, and also expensive and a lot of work has been wasted on it... and therefore it seems very likely that the program will be too.

Then to rub it in, the screenshot looks like horrendous flat cr4p that reminds me of Spotify, another egregious excrescence of gratuitous Javascript masquerading as a native program.
It doesn't make much sense in case of a toaster, but if you bought a pen (or socks, SSDs, lightbulbs, etc.), you may buy some more after you tried it and liked it, or maybe you will try another brand.
Landing mechanism is cool too. The lander has deformable metallic sponge balls on the legs, hits the soil at its "heel" and tip forward[1].

Official reasons given is it allows reduction of structural margins, physical interferences and tipover risks on inclined surfaces, which seem to make sense. Maybe it's just me that it looks a bit like someone had to have a spacecraft that lands like the Space Shuttle with engines pointing back.

I was once "reported to ADL" for my anti-Semitism.

My horrid crime that made me literally Hitler?

Disagreement if a tag should be named "jews" or "judaism" on the Politics Stack Exchange site. I made an off-hand comment that I renamed the tag from "jews" to "judaism" and the very first response was that I had been "reported to the ADL" (whether they actually did: who knows? Probably not).

That such an incredibly boring, banal, and benign disagreement exploded in accusations of anti-Semitism so quickly has made me rather distrustful of these accusations in general unless I can verify things. Anti-Semitism is real, but so are narcissistic people abusing it to "win the argument". If you need to defend yourself with "but I'm not anti-Semitic!" then you've already kind of lost the argument, right?

No problem. It might also bear mentioning that if one is willing to learn more specialized tools, even less key-downing is possible, such as (using https://github.com/c-blake/bu/blob/main/doc/cols.md):

grep ^[A-Za-z]|cols 2

You just lose that row number in the original input coordinates feature of Ben's example which could probably be recovered with `grep -n` & `cols -d' :'`, etc., etc. In exchange, you can say `cols 2:5` to get a block of columns trivially. And then, of course, once you have any oft-repeated atom you can save it in a tiny script/etc.

A lot of these choices come down to atom discovery & how willing/facile someone is juggling/remembering syntax/sub-languages. In my experience, willingness tracks facility and both are highly variable distributions over the human population.

Why set a minimum price, instead of taxing each flight for how much CO2 it emits and letting the economics sort themselves out?
Are you sure the thermodynamic limit on water desalination is extremely small ? I was under the impression that the salt bonds dissolved by water are quite strong and thus require a non-negligible amount of energy to reverse (for instance, if you go about it by evaporating the water, it is very much several thousands of order of magnitude above landauer levels).

Edit, found in another comment :
For example, desalinating seawater with a typical seawater salt concentration of 35 g L–1 (corresponding osmotic pressure of 29.7 bar) and 50% water recovery (i.e., 50% of the feed stream becomes purified water and 50% becomes brine)
requires at least 1.1 kWh per cubic meter of purified water.
Regardless of the desalination technology, it is impossible to desalinate water using less energy than that determined by eq 12.

1.1 KWh per cubic meter is very much NOT a negligible amount, so the landauer analogy is incorrect.
Short haul flights in Europe are too cheap, for sure. But trains are often too expensive, it's a problem on both sides.

I hope they tax planes more and use that money to subsidize rail.

It is just a small stylistic lapse. The author used "always" in the sense of "frome time to time since we have digital computers".

TL;DR:

Top 15 PL are Python, Java, C++, C, Javascript, C#, SQL, Go, Typescript, HTML, R, Shell, PHP, Ruby and SAS.

Python doesn’t just remain No. 1 but it has managed to widens its lead in 2023 at the expense of smaller, more specialized languages. It has become the jack-of-all-trades language and has found its niche in AI, where powerful and extensive libraries make it very popular.

For PL job ranking, SQL is No. 1 skill but to get proper jobs it must come with Java or C++ skill.

Java and the various C-like languages, however outweigh Python in their combined popularity for high-performance or resource-sensitive tasks where Python is slow.

Very specialized languages like R and Fortran are still very popular perhaps due to their hard to replace reputation in legacy systems.
