I think every language (DSL or not) should support translation to/from a simple data representation for its syntax trees (whether s-expressions, JSON, XML, etc.). Not necessarily the same representation, but just something structured that existing tools can walk and transform, such that (a) we don't resort to grepping through bytes (and manually filtering out matches that are comments or strings) and (b) adding a keyword to a language won't break all existing tooling that's unable to parse it.

That's why Servo exists in the first place. That's exactly the reason why always has been intended as a research engine, with an explicit focus on high modularity, and easy portability of single components, several of which were then incorporated into Firefox.

Especially the latter wasn't some kind of salvage, trying to squeeze value out of some theoretical project. It was an explicit goal from the beginning.
This is actually somewhat common in city centres for space and access reasons; lots of places do it. Here's one recent attempt at fixing it: https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dublin/2023/06/21/plastic...

(Once you go outside the canals it's wheelie bins, but they are not considered suitable for use in the very centre, for reasons I was never super-clear on)
On the other hand, a New Yorker without a car, who walks around piles of leaking garbage bags on the sidewalk, is ecstatic about replacing parking spots with garbage containers.

Fortunately, it's a good thing to realize that each neighborhood is different. The busy neighborhoods with the most trash (e.g. much of Manhattan) have the smallest number of car-owning residents because it's a lot of tall buildings, while the neighborhoods with the most car-owning residents (e.g. much of Queens) generate the least trash, because it's a lot of houses.

As others have pointed out in this thread, the "porch pirate" problem is just kind of not a problem for most people/places. I've never heard of anyone I know having a package stolen off their porch. This is even living in relatively high-density (for the US) apartment complexes. Leaving stuff on the porch is basically good enough, so nobody is in a hurry to "fix" anything about it, except maybe Amazon themselves because even something that happens 0.1% of the time is a big enough problem when you operate at their scale.

I suspect that some of the the same reasons that lockers aren't economically feasible in most of the US is the same reason that the theft isn't a problem: low density. If you're a porch pirate, you need to expect that the value of your stolen goods covers at least your gas and time driving around stealing stuff, plus some risk premium for doing the crime. If the average value of a package is below this amount, the crime doesn't pay. There will still be instances where people haven't done this math, or crimes of opportunity, or just dense stretches where it does make sense depending on the price of gas, but it isn't a nationwide problem.

My anecdotal experience is that as it relates to manhattan, a huge portion of street parking is used by commuters (even from other parts of NYC) a resident parking plus metered solution would free up a ton of space.

Technically there is still an implicit money transfer in those cases, it's just the debt is settled immediately. Remember, money is an IOU – used when you promise to give something that you cannot deliver on right now.

Business seeks to deliver value at a scale that would make it impractical for all the debts to be settled in the moment, thus money (promises owed to the business) does become a reasonable measure of how well it is scaling. Things that are incredibly valuable to society do benefit from being scaled up to provide that benefit to more and more people.

No company becomes worth mountains of money without making society better in some way. Every act comes with negative externalities, of course.

And yet Boston's MBTA is still one of the top 5 best transit systems in the country, which is saying something. (Fun fact: Boston's red/orange/blue lines are also the most cost-efficient transit system in the US, as measured by farebox recovery ratio.)
Ah, IRC. Yeah, I came too late to make new friends there (though it was still good for keeping in contact with old ones). Still managed to enjoy the usenet, although the "big" groups were already full of spam.
It seems like an alternative option could be available then: if you sell phones without user replaceable batteries, it could be mandated that the manufacturer is responsible for subsidizing costs such that replacing the battery is comparably priced to the cost of a replaceable battery.

That seems a lot more reasonable to me. There are a lot of legitimate technical and design reasons for why batteries are not user replaceable today.
YouTube premium's cost is unreasonable compared to the ad revenue they're missing out on. I personally don't mind covering the lost income from ads but I'm not going to pay simply to avoid being abused. And this model is repeated across quite a few ad-free services - Meta's program charges triple[1] what it earns per user, Reddit charges 150x[2] what it earns from advertising.

Just let us pay your ad revenue and don't be exploitative.

1. Meta earns about 40/year from EU citizens while their ad-free service will cost 120/year

2. The ad-free reddit experience costs 50/year while for an average user they only earn about 30 cents every year.
>Sure. But I highly doubt that philosophy holds the answer.

And yes, I certainly can.

Good to hear, but I know for a fact many people think very differently. Faith in science is strong.

FWIW, I have also authored a related tool. I wrote Scheme for Max and Scheme for PD, enabling you to run s7 Scheme inside Max, PureData, and Live (through Max). It uses the same Scheme interpreter as the Common Music (mentioned here) and allows you to run a fair bit of common music code, though it is in general targetted at being a bit more low level. And of course includes a bunch of Max integration things not in CM. You can use it, for example, to write sequencers and automation tools that share Max buffers, sync with the transport, use the Live API in Ableton Live, etc.

Perhaps not trivial in chip interconnects, but it's fairly abundant and a rather workable material in general (hence the bronze age).

Yes but it enables services like facebook to do ID validation on everyone. It'll be much harder to stay anonymous because it removes a barrier to identifying oneself.

It starts with the government's own services but random third party operators are not ruled out, this is a fundamental building block for an "internet access pass" for all but the most niche sites like this one.

Right now Facebook only asks for ID in case of obvious fake names, because it's a huge barrier to ask people to send theirs just to create an account. This should remain a barrier.
The Back Bay section of Boston begs to differ. Even with alleyways between the streets, still no trash cans, just plastic bags (that get chewed through pretty much uniformly).
I think because there is an overlap between tech and streamers, and also because tech employees are well paid, this philosophy comes up a lot. However, these companies are scum and of course low level employees aren't accruing any of the benefits you mention. These companies are cutting production, cutting quality and raising prices. They would ideally insert adds AND get paid. Also, as I commented in another thread content has grown linearly but it has been fragmented across at least 4 core services while prices double. Thus the real price to an honest consumer is 8x. Sorry but as long as pirating is a better experience than paying this will happen. Demand for TV is extemely elastic and we are outside the bell's curve where demand plummets...
That's kind of my point when I brought up the good ones being worth their weight in gold. It doesn't need to be all toil. But companies often view these roles as toil and thus they don't want to spend much money on it. Which means they get the bad ones. Which means it's all toil. And the cycle perpetuates.

In contrast, the high end people I've come across in QA, Ops, Infosec, etc. They were not only *expert* in their domain but better devs than most of the devs. In other words, the dynamic was the opposite from what I first described. And of course those people are really freaking expensive. Again, the cycle perpetuates.
In the article they emphasise "all batteries", so I suppose it includes phones
Used drives can have life in another device or the whole device may be reused for a less taxing purpose ... if it hasn't been exhausted because of cost cutting.
since you mention climbing trees and $30 in the wallet, the comedian Ismo made the joke that when he had his wallet stolen, he ran after the thief until he realized after some time of running that he had just gotten as much exercise as spending the same time at the gym, except that the gym would have cost him more than the $40 or $50 that were in the wallet.
Because the phone you want to buy will turn into e-waste in a few short years and we're living during a major ecological crisis.

We shouldn't humor every antisocial choice in the name of freedom.
Nobody's saying they can't work, they're just saying it's an expensive transformation that involves tradeoffs.

Which is in large part because of the way NYC was laid out originally -- no back alleys where garbage could be stored and collected, in order to reduce areas for potential crime.

If it were as simple as you imply, it would have been done already. Guess what -- it's actually pretty complex, but containerization is a major focus of the current administration. Nobody's being "precious" about anything -- there's no need to be insulting.
It could be even more simplified to define stories as a series of SETUP, PAYOFF.

- Person becomes poor/rich again: Pay-off

Albeit, it has equally low value on what actually makes it a story...

It's not really a solution, because even then no one's perfect about using them, but it can help. Rats will chew right through a plastic trash can if they're desperate, and steel dumpsters eventually rust out and create nice little rat doors.

Most mid-sized youtubers make a lot more in patreon than they do in advertising revenue and see their content as a way to generate more patreon revenue rather than caring any revenue directly from their content - I also think it's much more pleasant to have a stable income from patreon instead of working with a constantly fluctuating advertising revenue.
