> Are you sure you want to cancel your flight?

> [Cancel] [Cancel]

I totally agree that it is preferable to replace "OK" or "Yes" with an explicit verb. The same thing should be done to the usual "Cancel" button. If you are already thinking of an explicit verb to replace "OK" with, just add "Don't" to the other one.
It's really time for fully self driving cars. Then it won't matter anymore how drunk you are, there's no more need for speed cameras, or other traffic violations. And we can finally take back all that time wasted on driving by relaxing with a glass of beer and a good book or some Netflix. Or just take a nap after work on our way home.

Because really, there's so much tech second-guessing the driver in a modern car, I wish it would just do the driving itself instead of constantly checking up on me. And I hate driving anyway.

Unfortunately this seems perpetually "only a few years away" but never seems to actually get closer.
Yes, ex-smokers should not regret their past smoking habits. There is no point in letting past decisions affect your present emotions.
No, you're not completely free to make different deals with different customers, the imperative word here being "completely".

For example, RRPs are generally considered illegal, you can't force your customers to sale at specified minimum price, and more crucially, you can't do it selectively.

I hate these updates that change things around and break muscle memory. And most likely by coincidence it happens at the most unappropriate times.
I believe we currently do this in many places. There are many radios that will take orders from someone else. e.g. Many Wi-Fi routers will perform DFS and refuse to transmit on some frequency bands if they detect radar. Likewise, many printers and scanners will refuse to operate if they detect the Eurion Constellation. I imagine that the general form of the arguments that permitted those controls will also be used here.
I think these need to be unpacked and the IIHS data is missing a couple metrics.

Right now the FAA is bragging about serving 2.9 million passengers a day. I had no idea it was that high. That’s almost 1% of the population. The IIHS death rate works out in the neighborhood of 1 in 8-10k. But I think that’s per driver, not per trip. So we are stuck on the per trip bit again.

Meanwhile 5 fatalities in 10 years (~3652 days) is less than 10.5 billion person trips (assuming passenger rates climb over time) which is around 1 in 2 billion. So unless we are living in a statistical fluke that’s about two orders of magnitude off.
They generally have incredibly severe homeless problems, which is ironic, since they spend so much money on homeless aid programs, affordable housing (not more housing) initiatives, etc.

I think that partially motivated the study. Climate also doesn’t seem to matter, neither does hiring more police, or really anything politicians have funded in the last decade.
You're right! I thought I'd heard something about that, but couldn't quite remember :) From your linked article though:

> in response to mounting pressure from Epic Games and government regulators

Just because it came out before the judgement doesn't mean it wasn't because of the court case. And frankly, needing to be sued to do the not-a-monopoly thing isn't exactly a great look.

Maybe I'm just grouchy because I'll never get to use it though - BlackBerry stopped making handsets, so I'm using either the last great physical keyboard (subjective, but true IMO) while being "stuck" on Android 8.1, or GNU+Linux à la Pinephone Pro.
It's odd, I believe this on some level too. It seems almost certain he will win re-election.

EDIT: it's not an outcome I want, it's just what I believe will happen.
And as always, the unstated first rule of UI is: Also use common sense :)

E.g. in this case, the first option should be "Cancel Flight" or "Yes", and the second option should be "Do Not Cancel" or "No", though I'm sure there are other reasonably explicit options.

Edit: We each made essentially the same suggestion as an edit to our posts at the same time. The only difference is that I consider this an exceptional case. I still contend that "Do Not XXX" requires more thinking than "Cancel" when there isn't an obvious semantic conflict. You say "if you are already thinking of an explicit verb...", but I am not concerned with saving myself cognitive effort - I am concerned with the user.

Edit: Also, note that this is all tangential. The only point I was interested in writing about at the top of the thread is that, when you do see a "Cancel" button, it should never be destructive.

You're in one conversation. Many other people are in a completely different conversation, something like:

Have you even read the actual legal text [1] for the Nation-State law? It basically just says that Israel will always retain certain elements of Jewish culture such as the flag, anthem, holidays, and official language. No one is preventing non-Jews from partaking in those cultural artifacts, just like how no one is preventing Mexican Americans from celebrating the 4th of July and no one prevents them from speaking Spanish.

Is every country now required to sing Kumbaya and officially honor every major culture within a 1000km radius? Can they not officially declare that certain cultural things are more important to them than others?

> it magically appeared by League of Nations (UN) vote in 1948.
> "Stealing land" is a very one-sided war to look at it. The legalities and mortality of land captured in self defence are debatable to some extent, but clearly not theft

Why does it need to be some other state there to be theft?

If some lobbied politicians voted to establish a state that takes over your house and farm, would you just consider it ok? Because they voted for it? So then it’s not theft?

If then the people that take over your non-state land, start taking over your neighbors’ land, sometimes even killing them, that’s also not theft? Because the UN voted for it?

Also, Israel keeps doing it. Even right now, illegal settlement activity in the West Bank (as well as violence) are ongoing and increasing. Do you not consider that theft either?

Not sure what you mean about the Israeli government

What’s going on now is clearly not a war but genocide. The historical context, the literal intent expressed by Israeli political and military leadership, as well as the insane slaughter and destruction executed by Israel both in Gaza and the West Bank, all together very clearly fit both the dictionary and legal definitions of genocide

You think denying that makes Israel’s horrendous actions any better?

No, I think the state will do a better job at preserving individual freedom than the free market will. Normally I wouldn't take that stance, but the alternative is Apple's lock-in mentality and Google's neverending advertisement/data treadmill. Given that a secure smartphone is off the table anyways, I'd prefer the state as a custodian for digital rights. Plus, then nobody's confused about who holds all the power.

I personally love the progress they are making on some of the key hardware that actually makes it practical - increasing DoF of the fingers, force-torque sensors, compact tactile sensors in the fingers, etc.

Given good hardware, planning and control to move around is relatively easy in 2023, at least for a company like Tesla with a ton of resources. They need high-fidelity simulators, lots of GPUs, lots of human demonstration data, and expertise to train robots end-to-end - they have all of them, including some super smart researchers who spent their grad years doing exact same stuff.
1. the American left will tear itself apart over the war in Gaza, to the delight of Republicans, who will win the 2024 election.

2. The US government, ably helped by the actions of the crypto bros, will finish the destruction of the crypto industry.

3. All pretense of AI for good, ethical AI, etc, will be jettisoned in a gold rush for money, but almost no one will make any money from it.

Jfc, Trump is literally the one being prosecuted by a regime that took control through fear, force, and deceit. Yet somehow even though he is very visibly being subjected to a barrage of transparently meaningless political prosecutions you somehow still fear him as a fascist.

So who exactly has been "whipped into a frenzy here?"

Who are Trump supporters fearful of, other than the government that is actively attacking them?

Let me introduce you to a little state you might have heard of called Florida where the governor is punishing a company for criticizing a law that was passed and trying to expel a student group that is not pro-Israel.

Or other states that make it a crime to boycott Israel.

So instead of Hamas digging tunnels to protect themselves they could be digging bomb shelters? Or should they not have a duty to protect their own people. They don’t even provide education or healthcare to their own population instead they use that money to line their pockets and build pipe bombs. How many Hamas billionaires are there?
Name one of those OSes that had a quality phone on the market with a zero-dollar-license OS in 2009.

For the first two guys, the video's point is that their sexual harassment, spying, and dehumanizing comments towards women are played for laughs without it being obviously wrong. The humor is in them being bad at socializing; their behaviors aren't addressed, and are portrayed as pathetic, socially repellent, but ultimately harmless.

The comments Sheldon makes are misogynist in the literal sense of the definition you gave, too, self-evidently so, IMO. The first video starts listing examples at 10:45. Again, the humor is just in the juxtaposition of average people's attitudes with his open contempt for women, with his bigotry acknowledged but never really addressed.

>In general, the overall solution would be for Israel to allow Palestine to be an independent state, recognized in the UN, with full control of its own borders.

What would be the solution of that independent state went to war and attacked Israel again? Would you agree at that juncture that Israel would be within its rights to destroy and conquer that state?
> Tandy chose it for the TRS-80 Color Computer and sacrificed dedicated sound generation hardware for it to keep costs down.

The result of that though is an excellent example of 'software eating the world' and allowed for a whole pile of other tricks to be pulled (in software!) that would have required more circuitry in other computers. For instance, the tape interface used it, as well as the joystick interface. If you were a bit more adventurous you could use it for analog in as well as analog out.
Ah, cool. Thanks for clarifying.
A lot of sitcoms don't appeal to me until I had problems in my life

TableGen factors out a lot of detail, out of the code and into a collection of tables of records which are then processed into .inc files by TableGen backends.

Emphasis on factors out as in even if the result is eye wateringly complex, it's much better that that complexity is in another declarative file. This factoring also allows reuse by other tools like debuggers and linkers.

Emphasis on a lot of detail because 500,000 lines of instruction, register, scheduling, ... information is encoding a lot of detail. Processed, --print-records generates 87M bytes of text just for the X86 backend.

Take the simple BPF backend. It has 5 TableGen files:

BPF.td
BPFInstrFormats.td
BPFInstrInfo.td
BPFRegisterInfo.td
BPFCallingConv.td

TableGen streams these files and processes the unloveable TableGen language over them producing a collection of records. The backend's CMakeFile.txt tells TableGen to generate .inc include files. Each of these -gen flags invokes a TableGen backend to generate a specific include.

tablegen(LLVM BPFGenAsmMatcher.inc -gen-asm-matcher)
tablegen(LLVM BPFGenAsmWriter.inc -gen-asm-writer)
tablegen(LLVM BPFGenCallingConv.inc -gen-callingconv)
tablegen(LLVM BPFGenDAGISel.inc -gen-dag-isel)
tablegen(LLVM BPFGenDisassemblerTables.inc -gen-disassembler)
tablegen(LLVM BPFGenInstrInfo.inc -gen-instr-info)
tablegen(LLVM BPFGenMCCodeEmitter.inc -gen-emitter)
tablegen(LLVM BPFGenRegisterInfo.inc -gen-register-info)
tablegen(LLVM BPFGenSubtargetInfo.inc -gen-subtarget)

So here's the deal. Yeah, TableGen is ungainly but then the problem that it solves is truly massive. If you were to redo it now with what we know now, the architecture would be very similar and the language would be only slightly better. TableGen solves a really hard problem, maybe not perfectly but well.

Does anyone know why there doesn't exist a micro-transaction capability to buy one marginal ad-free item at a time? E.g. buy just this Economist article for $0.25 rather than subscribing for the whole month?

I know there are significant issues with micro-transaction cost but I figure you could set up a little token service with minimum cash-in and cash-out amounts (say $5).

Do companies like the Economist crunch the numbers and find that they earn by more by having paying subscribers as opposed to also selling per-article?

I think it’s mostly true for modern usage. Powering off a laptop doesn’t fully disconnect power, because the power button is not a true switch but just signals to some power management hardware which is ALWAYS on as long as there is battery charge or plug power — it catches the signal from the “power” button and executes a true power switches to start the computer boot cycle.
This likely has to do with how in app purchases are processed. Theres a few ways to process in app purchases, but one of them involves the OS proving the app with a signed receipt which the app then sends to the server. Likely a bug prevented this receipt from being sent, but when the app was reinstalled it would have been presented with the signed receipt again since it had not been marked as consumed yet.
That's not collusion. Collusion is a pattern of behaving between multiple competitors which has an end effect of coordinating on price. The policy focus on regulating collusion should be on patterns of behavior which reduces competitiveness in markets.

IMO there's a stronger policy argument for saying that Apple shouldn't be copy-pasting prices from other places like Playstation. That's much closer to collusion.

That's what I did at my last job, now I mostly feel like that was a mistake. I was the guy contributing 90% of the wiki knowledge, for no real appreciation or incentive. And when something I posted inevitably become out of date and caused a problem for someone, guess who got blamed? I feel like I was enabling the team's bad habits.

At $NEW_JOB I'm just putting everything into my Obsidian repo. It's great because I have complete freedom to refactor my notes however and whenever I want. When someone has a question for me, I just look up the answer in my notes and send it over to them. Then they'll copy it into their OneNote, and everyone is satisfied.

This isn't my ideal world, but this seems to be the state of equilibrium when management doesn't lay down any expectations or incentives.

Take this from someone who has been down this road: you are way over-thinking this.

Until you accept this, you will be holding yourself back as a JavaScript developer.

If you need objects with encapsulated state and methods, use classes.

OOP does not magically introduce baggage or complexity.

Your proposed solution is still OOP. Coming up with your own OOP framework will introduce baggage and complexity.

Classes are highly optimized in modern JS engines.

Classes can be transpiled to performant code for legacy JS engines.

There are times when classes are not the right choice, but avoiding classes when they’re the obvious right choice is a clear indicator that a developer is unwilling to actually learn JavaScript.

Edit:

Your example code also has a bug, where your methods don’t actually mutate the properties of the returned object.

Please take the leap and just learn to use JavaScript classes!
