Depends on what you're looking to get from it.

The most interesting part IMO is how it's so similar to Python along many categories, but also so different.

Biggest example is how Ruby just loves Blocks. They're all over the place in the std lib, tons of syntax sugar for them, and countless DSLs built around them. All the standard functional stuff is there in the std lib and has been from very early on, so doing functional-style stuff is really smooth and reads well. In Python, you can technically do most of the same stuff, but it all seems a lot more awkward to write and to read (though maybe just my opinion from doing Ruby first). Python has lambdas, but it doesn't seem to like them much for more than trivial things. But instead functions are first-class everywhere.
Strong reasons for why people are so interested in this conflict?

Here are a few reasons Americans seem to be so interested in it:

1. We’re paying for a decent chunk of it, both financially and in terms of international political support

2. It cross-cuts American society along very unique dimensions, creating ad-hoc coalitions between people who don’t normally collaborate very much (e.g. far right white supremacists and Zionists, or far left commies and jihadists). These coalitions are already impacting American domestic affairs and will likely influence our upcoming elections.

3. In general it’s reasonable to pay close attention to situations where a thousand people are killed in a terrorist attack under the purview of a western security apparatus or when an urban area is subject to an aggressive counterinsurgency campaign (given that they tend to be humanitarian disasters even in the best of circumstances)

4. This conflict has a very high potential to unravel into a regional and even global conflict given the networks backing each belligerent

How exactly is it odd that people care so much about the situation?

> "You can block ads all you want, and website owners can block you all they want."

This is absolutely the correct conclusion to come to, given that the Internet is really "just" a network of networks (still an amazing thing, don't get me wrong), and when one connects a device to a network, they should have absolute control over the data that device allows to flow to and from the "outside world", for the safety of the user, the device, and for the health of the larger "outside" network. This holds even more true when connecting a network to another network. For your own security, you (should) run a firewall at the very least. Even better is when all devices on the network all have their firewall enabled, but sadly, not all devices were designed with network security in mind, so that's not always possible.

TL;DR: All the above is just to say an adblocker is just another form of the end user exercising control over the data that flows into and out of their devices / network, as they've always been able to, until advertising companies (which initially all scoffed at the entire idea of advertising on the "passing fad" Internet) decided that they had a right to our eyeballs and our devices' network data flows at any time and in any way they please.

They also don’t seem to make an effort to actually stop shoplifting. They take out regular check out lanes and replace them with self check outs that are unbelievably frustrating to use and make it very easy to shoplift accidentally. One time I apparently shoplifted an item by accident while using the self checkout lane, the only reason I realized is because I went back to return the item and it wasn’t on the receipt. The clerk helping me with the return just laughed and said it happens all the time.

If their only response to shoplifting is to just jack up prices and then go on TV and blame democrats for “crime” while doing literally nothing to stop shoplifting then I have little to no sympathy for them.
I’m old, I’ve been using the internet since the late 1980’s.

The web was spectacularly useful right from the beginning. You could look up airline schedules and buy tickets instead of going downtown to a travel agent. You could email someone instead of sending a letter or making an expensive long distance call. And like a million other things.

NFTs on the other hand are fucking useless. Unless you’re counting “scam others out of money with bullshit stories” to be a use case.
What do you think Navalny would've been able to accomplish from afar? Him remaining in the West and subverting the Kremlin would have only fed the ideas that he's a Western agent.

> I’ve been in the D community for a decade and a half. People keep telling us they don’t like the GC. They keep saying GC is a dealbreaker. They want predictable memory usage and cleanup times. Somehow, none of this is ever an issue with C# and Java. Somehow, the fact that any memory allocator, including glibc’s, can incur arbitrary delays never matters. Well, fine! Fine. Whatever. I disagree with the choice, but as an offshoot of an offshoot, I really can’t afford alienating folks. I’m tired of arguing this point. Nobody has ever said that reference counting was a dealbreaker. So reference counting it is.

I think this is a bit off. It is an issue with Java and C#, but they don't position themselves as a C++ replacement in the same way D does. Even so you still get lots of complaints about missing RAII and GC pauses (witness how well received Go's low latency pauses have been received).

And yes glibc could introduce arbitrary delays, but it generally doesn't. Allocation is way faster than GC.

Maybe he was talking about long pauses when you destroy a big C++ object (e.g. a big `std::map`)? That can definitely cause annoying big pauses due to deallocation. But he already identified the critical factor - it's predictable. You can fix it deterministically.

Anyway reference counting is a decent choice. It can be very fast (especially if you are only referencing counting big objects and not little integers etc.)
What is "gotcha route"?
Which occupation? Gaza (historical Filastin) and the West Bank? Or the whole of Israel? It depends on who you ask, but the most active and direct organizations working to end "occupation" take an expansive view --- hence the "river" and the "sea". When you talk about the Nakba, remember that Jewish communities in West Asia and North Africa were exiled at the same time --- the majority of the Jewish population of Israel are Mizrahi, the descendants of those exiles.

Very few things about this situation are simple.
Real estate lobby hasnt/wont let that happen
The market is not how you build your way out of this. You need state-backed construction on a postwar scale, bans on corporate investment in real estate, abolition of zoning, and myriad other interventions that are blocked at every step by people looking to profit off their neighbors being forced into the streets.
I'm coming from a D perspective, where you really don't want to enforce anything single-owner-like, because it makes algorithms awkward. Neat does some commonsense optimizations to avoid pointless refcount changes, for instance it internally assumes that all function parameters are managed by the caller and doesn't take an additional reference for them. But at the end of the day, it mostly just refcounts and calls it good enough.

You can define types in Neat that are noncopyable, but it really limits what you can do with them. For instance, nested function references are noncopyable by default to avoid forcing closure allocations.
Why should they, and why would you want it?

Whether TKey or Precursor is better depends on your needs. Here are some differences between them:

* TKey uses open tooling for everything. Precursor uses Vivado.

* Precursor has a screen and a keyboard, allowing the user to interact directly with the trusted device in a completely different way than the TKey.

* The Precursor is bigger than the TKey.

* The Precursor costs much more than the TKey.

Finally I'd just like to mentiont that bunnie and xobs work on Precursor as well as their other projects have been a great inspiration to the TKey project.

Not for all languages.

For starters, my ancestral language's Unicode support didn't arrive until 2008. In that same Unicode proposal, support for a language spoken by 22 million people was added as well. Additional blocks line for languages like Laotian, colloquial Khmer, etc weren't added til the 2000s.

Also, plenty of languages (eg. Burmese) don't use Unicode fonts and instead use localized non-standardized blocks such as Zawgyi.

The internet in the 1990s was designed with the North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore in mind.

The majority of the world wasn't on the internet yet and hadn't even used a computer. The form factor, usability, and documentation needed simply didn't exist in the 1990s and early 2000s yet.

The Internet didn't truly "democratize" until low cost smartphones like Samsung, Oppo, and Xiaomi began entering the market in the early 2010s.

Thanks for the link. It would seem to me that it's all a matter of how you define the word property. Since words are part of a natural language, there is no one given true definition, so one has to be chosen before starting an argument, like an axiom if you are mathematically inclined.
But still, it doesn't feel relevant for the question at hand, which is, how to prove an existing Santa exists? This clearly is an instance of assuming the thesis before proving it. The same can be done for any property, like proving that a blue santa is blue.
I suppose that the premise of proving that an "existing santa exists" is not really a stronger statement after all than the original question of whether just "santa exists".

The high interest rates make all the difference. In Germany the interest rate for a house loan quadrupled over the last 2 years. 2 years ago you had to pay 2k per month for a 500k loan, while 0.6k of that was interest. Now 2k per month became almost 4k for the same loan.

This already lead to a small drop in prizes at least.

Neither comment was directed at you and I’m sorry if they read that way - M4A (specifically) discussions usually center on people who live in a big city and are solving only for that. I’ve also agreed in several comments that single payer is a likely component of the right solution, but that current proposals are woefully insufficient, to the point of not even being solutions. I’m all in for incremental improvements (the ACA was certainly one), but not if it just trades my pain point for creating five new ones for you.

The difference between HK and the US starts at the fact that one is 1100km^2, and the other is 9.8 million km^2. Solutions that work well in what’s essentially a really dense city don’t, necessarily, work across a massive country with a distributed, diverse population that faces very different, area-specific challenges.

I’ll add, apropos of nothing, that the fastest way to make healthcare in this country better is to fix education costs. If we dramatically increase the number of people in med school/nursing school, and simultaneously dramatically decrease what they owe upon graduation, you will see far more high quality providers enter the system who will be far more able to practice in places that really need them.
