I know those two quotes were from separate points, but parser combinators are not limited to CFGs; pretty much any recursive-descent parser (parser combinators included) will have zero issue with your Bencode example.

I pretty much agree with the rest of your post, except for the fact that it's unusual for an entire year to go by in which I don't write a parser.

Also, some parser libraries (though not parser combinators) can statically find ambiguities in grammar definitions, which can be helpful if you are designing the language.

Video conf still sucks. It's literally the same as 10 years ago.

Does anyone have a workplace where it is really seamless, high resolution, and just works? Or is using any of these new technologies?

I wonder if employees would personally cover the cost of a one week meetup once per month if their other option was move city and office all the time.

I am beginning to think, somewhat uncomfortably, that due to industry consolidation most big corps don't have to worry about having great talent anymore. They are squeezing more money out of an established business model in a market that no longer has real customer choice, as long as they have good enough people to keep things going it's not a problem.
Are there really jurisdictions in the US where the penalty for refusing a chemical test are worse than DUI? That doesn't seem right.
totally tangential to this but just have to share

learned this last week that md5's are also 128 bits and so will fit perfectly in a uuid type in postgres, saving space in the physical table and indexes, and giving better index performance. So if youre storing md5 hashes, use UUID!

That seems to misrepresent reality. Generally speaking in all elections that I am aware off, rural regions are leaning right while urban regions are leaning left. In fact in general it seems anti-immigration/foreigner stances are almost anti-proportional to the number of immigrants/foreigners a person might encounter during their day.

Just 2 counter examples (anecdotes but I'm sure a bit of searching will reveal numbers to back this up): the first electorate that directly voted a green candidate Was the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg electorate in 2002, likely one of the places in Germany with the highest proportion of immigrants (when it was still not gentrified like it is today.).

>If I had to give only one bit of advice to anyone ever faced with an ultimatum from someone with power over them (be it an employer or abusive romantic partner), it would be:

>Ultimately, never choose the one giving you an ultimatum.

This is such great advice. When you are given an ultimatum it is very revealing. Pretend to comply as the author advises, then find something else.

Your sense of self-worth is more valuable than salary or position prestige. If you comply long term, you lose a part of your self and persona.
In the company I work for, we're "hybrid" now and they're still trying to get people in 2 days a week. No-one really complains about it though..
Automobile-based transportation and city design is inherently subsidized. It’s the biggest form of socialism that American individualism accepts unlike any other: free parking for everyone, free roads for everyone. It doesn’t matter how much weight or size your vehicle has, being charged money for parking or paying a lot of money at the gas pump is seen as an assault on freedom itself.

I believe I read that Massachusetts spends something like $12,000 per capita on public roads and highways. And yet we keep telling ourselves that transit oriented development and mass transit is “expensive.”

in the status quo of typical car-focused urban development, the US government needs to subsidize EV car companies or else other countries with lower labor costs will demolish the US automotive industry and consumers will be forfeiting too much of their earnings on the basic needs of daily transportation as oil becomes more and more scarce.

The big 3 automakers are already propped up by the chicken tax. It’s no coincidence that trucks drive most of the profit of US automakers and that they’ve been moved from utilitarian work vehicles to family cars to maximize sales. If you sell a family a sedan it’ll be low profit margin, competing with dozens of other options. Sell them an F-150 and you enjoy an oligopoly with a small subset of brands that have factories in the US.

I’d like automotive subsidy to be redirected into fixing urban design mistakes and meaningfully reduce car trips per capita. I’m not talking about extreme stuff like eliminating cars entirely, I’m talking about a situation where the majority of people don’t feel the need to get in a car to meet 100% of their daily needs.

This is all completely irrelevant. No office suite user gives a shit what the Library of Congress thinks about database formats, because spreadsheets are not databases, no matter how often you personally conflate the two.

Furthermore, the LoC's job is archiving. Your links have "preservation" in the url for a reason, and "preservation" is not what people do with spreadsheets. To strive for relevance, explore https://data.gov, where CSV is abundant, because it's in use by literally hundreds of state and federal agencies, often by people using spreadsheet software, and will continue to be so for years or decades to come, whether you understand why or not.

edit: Your assertions are wrong anyway, as the LoC does indeed have CSV artifacts in its collection. It is most often in a Zip file and catalogued as "compressed data," which is probably why your perfunctory search did not unearth it. Some random counterexamples to your claim:

No “billion dollar infrastructure” is entitled to get my contribution to content creation for free either. The reason why a “social network” has value at all, is because there are users talking with each other on it.

And in the lack of a blocking feature on HN, I'll ask you politely: please stop talking to me, I'm very much not interested in reading someone telling me to pay a billionaire with nazi sympathies in order to have a say in a debate with Nazi, and claiming that this is somehow a product improvement.

Good day.
> You consent to this by agreeing to drive.

I'm also NAL, but the idea that you consent to any test by agreeing to drive sounds dubious.

> refusal to provide a sample is the same as intoxicated driving. I believe the UK is such a jurisdiction.

for refusing a sample you are likely to be arrested (under suspicion of DUI) if you "do not have a 'reasonable excuse'" not to be tested. You can give a reasonable excuse, such as a medical one, which would probably play into the courts later.

I don't know further details because there seems to be confusing terminology around what is directly illegal, versus indirectly illegal - e.g. seems things can be "an offence" but also have stated "defences" to them, such as a reasonable excuse, which seems to imply "a defence in court".
> Don't drink and drive folks.

Agree on not drinking and driving, but you seem to assume that the person had been drinking.

What about a person who has not been drinking, gets stopped under suspicion of something, and is physically unable to use a breathalizer?
But third party code in Python was easy to read.
I’m on time of use billing, and I don’t want my fridge to reduce its net power consumption.

In fact, I want it to increase its net power consumption by running hard when rates are low, and backing off when they’re expensive. So overall cost will decrease without any spoilage impacts while consumption goes up.

This approach also minimizes the amount of time the fridge is working against my air conditioner. And maximizes the time it’s working with my furnace on cool nights.

The most thermally/kwh efficient fridge keeps its temperature the same at all times, but that’s not the most cost efficient/climate efficient approach.

It’s like we’re not ready to have that conversation.
> If “we can address all the conspiracy theories that abound about this – as if Big Brother was going to suddenly determine what you buy, when you buy it and how restricted it should be – then I think it would be characterized as a success,” Lagarde said, adding that the digital euro will need to offer privacy without full anonymity, and be user-friendly, free and universal.

If your reaction to iterators is “so what?” then I would say you fundamentally don’t understand computation.

Asking “so what?” about iterators has plenty of useful answers that will aide you in programming. The same is not really true about functors.

What makes it stressful? I haven't seen this take before so I'm really curious about this perspective.
Meh. I make free stuff and I'm completely okay with people asking for more free stuff. I might be thinking of adding something you say you need, so it's cool to know what other people's requirements are. If they're simple to implement, and other people submit a test case for it, I'm fine with enhancement requests.

HOWEVER...

I've had a few people who say things like "OMG. YOU MUST DO IT THE WAY I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IT" or "ADD THIS FEATURE OR YOUR NOT A REAL OPEN SOURCE CONTRIBUTOR." And that is definitely annoying. I have a thick hide and don't mind just ignoring those people, but that shouldn't be the default assumption. The people who work on open source projects are people, so don't be a pushy jerk when you're requesting features from FLOSS projects.

ALSO...

Let people revel in the approval of their peers before pointing out things you would have done differently. This is a cool bit of kit.
I'm responding to the argument that decades of research is enough to feel safe using a technology. Maybe there is a better argument, but OP didn't make it.

How long have we studied the fountain of youth? The cure for baldness? Penis enlargement pills? Would you trust any of today's solutions to those problems?

Research time is necessary but not sufficient. What I and many others care about is time in production usage.

What's so abysmal about this line of thinking?
If you work for a company where your whole immediate team are co-located it can be great.

Why a US Recession Is Still Likely – and Coming Soon
There's real overhead. For instance, one spec that comes to mind the vendor starts the 0,0 pixel in the lower right. The spec calls for 0,0 to be the lower left. That leads to an inverted handedness for all images. Not a problem in projection, but as soon as you start in 3D, it creates a real mess. Some software packages try to detect when the camera was this vendor, and correct for it (silently). Other software packages refuse to correct for it, because they don't have a reliable way to detect it. A pipeline might have 3-4 of these software packages involved, eventually you have no idea if you handedness is correct and no real way to tell without being at a high enough resolution that you can use biological landmarks of known handedness.

Don't get me started on Euler angles.

Caveat being I'm more used to electron microscopy, maybe these things aren't as important with light microscopy because the resolutions are lower?
That's the point, if people are doing it because they are too poor, at the cost of their health, then don't think it's a thrilling living experience to be celebrated.

A month at a capsule hotel will cost you more than renting a room. A New York pod or a Bay pod will cost you more than renting an apartment in a place that doesn't have a crazy renting market, pretty much 99% of the rest of the world, even big cities.

That's the point, making up for crazy living conditions in which people are packed like sardines and there isn't enough room for everyone. It's not a positive, it's not a thrilling living experience. It's a disaster and people put up with it.

A hostel is different, but if you have the money you can also rent an actual room and still get to meet people there. Hang out in the common areas, and so on, without having to deal with the terrible facilities. So stay at a hostel once and then realize if you ever do it again it'll be to save money not by choice.
I don't understand why there can't be compromise on this? If you want to go to the office, go. If you want to work from home, then work from home.

Why is it that remote workers never insist on everyone working from home, but RTO people want every single person to RTO? Just leave it up to the individual worker.

> an assembly line

Now imagine working on an assembly line on your feet all day versus your office day job. The people on the assembly line would look at you like the most spoilt people in the world.

I personally hated going into the office, but the morale effect is real.

I think the main thing is people cannot be trusted to honestly tell you if they work better from the office. It's a nicer life working from home but whether you get more work done is debatable. And there is always too much to lose by speaking the truth.
It is super relevant to the current topic, which is that not using something just because it's made by Russian citizens (not corporations or the state) is ridiculous unprecedented. That's the point, even if you seem to somehow doubt that what happened in Iraq... happened? It doesn't change the fact that there's no precedent for that.
The guy in the video said "their lifespans would have only been around 35 years" which sounds not so much glossing over as being plain incorrect.

I am annoyed by these slips every time because they make it seem as if we live so much longer since hunter-gatherer times... Modern medicine reduced early age mortality, sure, but funny enough it did not do much to increase max lifespan (and especially healthy lifespan).
