You're right. I grew up in an independent evangelical church so I've been attuned to all this since I got out in my teens. To emphasize - American Evangelical Christianity is especially insidious about this on multiple levels. In contrast to Mainline Protestantism, the entire movement is based on two particularly pernicious things that map to cultlike methods.

They are taught to blindly follow and never question authority. The pastor is the "shepherd" of the "flock" and they openly talk about it in terms echoing the way that the Disciples followed Jesus. And there's a reason you hear about what seem to be so many nasty stories of evangelical religious leaders abusing their power than mainline ones. And there's a reason authoritarian politics are so closely identifiable with evangelism in America.

Second, they work HARD TO create an in-group and out-group. There are the "saved" and everyone else. If you're "unsaved" and attend the church, the pressure is INTENSE to commit. RELENTLESS. And once you're in, you're on the inside of an "us against the world" mentality. I'll give an example. You know the current "War On Christmas?" People walking around like NPC's saying "I don't care, I'm going to say Merry Christmas - since when did that become a crime, none of this 'Happy Holidays' stuff!"

I remember being inside the movement in the eighties, and the thing they were completely up in arms about then was that businesses were co-opting Jesus's name by using "Christmas" to sell stuff. So the move to "Happy Holidays" by corporate America wasn't just an inclusive, religiously-neutral way to put it. I distinctly remember listening to christian radio at the time and the conversation being about pressure campaigns to get "Merry Christmas" out of businesses. I'm sure businesses were happy to oblige to stop the PR onslaught. It was the "War on Christmas" of its day. And twenty years later when it fits their agenda to creating division between believers and non-believers? The entire thing reversed directions.
Possibly, but is there even a market for the parts they are not using? How many people are replacing M1 mini parts?
This is an eminently solvable problem. I've been writing my personal website in a variation of HTML for a while now which is perfectly easy to write and read.

{main
{h1 Title}
{p
Paragraph 1.
{{a {href google.com}} Here is a link.}}
{p
Paragraph 2, now with {b bold} text.}}

The nice thing about HTML/XML is that it's a clear data-structure, so you can essentially read it in any format you like and convert that to the underlying tree structure without much issue. That's why it's been so successful, basically the same philosophy as a lisp. Why someone would look at that and think "let's go back to a document with no clear structure" is beyond me.
I think most people probably prefer the format that best fits the content. In this case a live interview is best served by the original video and not someone trying to content farm it into an article. The ads this person has chosen for their site are also incredibly distasteful.

Humans are messy and sub-optimal. Optimization processes will always favor robotic adherence to optimal characteristics which means, unless constrained, our humanity is on the chopping block.

There’s a reason phrases like “worker bee” have become common, it’s because people feel like they’re expected to be drones at work instead of humans.

That SVG can execute Javascript also used to be well known, back when SVG was considered the future replacement to Flash. I even remember some websites that were just one handcrafted SVG. And browsers deciding not to execute these scripts when you load an SVG via an <img> tag was a big deal.

Of course SVG didn't become the Flash replacement everyone hoped for, so that knowledge seems to have become more obscure. The same probably happened to knowledge about javascript links after frameworks like react made event handlers the more convenient alternative.
> After half a year we moved on to our second language: Lua, specifically in the video game system Roblox. I almost wish we had skipped this one because it was a bit too advanced for these students, and I was not familiar with the language and the system to begin with.

Teaching something, like a programming language, that you don't know is really hard. But in this case there are 100's of Lua tutorials around Roblox. I would think that they could have done that.

AFAIK, ebay charges fees on the subtotal including shipping. So if that practice still exists, it must be 1. out of habit or, 2. to make the prices appear cheaper (shipping costs aren't displayed as prominently, but at least sorting by price includes shipping).

I think the real reason why tipping is now pushed everywhere, including POS terminals and even online payment portals is because the payment vendor receives a cut of the entire transaction (inclusive of tip). So adding anything onto the transaction total is more money in the pocket of the payment processor.

I'm not sure what a non-legislative way to push back against this practice, since the incentives are clearly stacked to favor what we see today.
I agree, it's not a radio protocol and I wasn't trying to imply that it was. The person I was responding to posited it might be one and I pointed them to the protocol that's used without explicitly correcting them on that point.

>In these countries, the cost of living tends to be lower, so it makes sense to me that the cost for these services should be lower too

It seems likely to me that serving customers in far away developing countries will, if anything, cost more than serving local customers. Communication on support tickets is more likely to run into language or culture barriers, you're more likely to run into obscure edge cases around timezones or poor network connectivity, and serving a foreign market might entail additional legal wrangling.

Well, I for one don't think everything is ugly.

Apple devices and stores look clean and elegant to me.

Tesla vehicles feel and look simple and beautiful to me.

If given a choice, I'd rather live in new buildings with bright, light-filled interiors than in old buildings with darker, mustier interiors.

I could provide more examples of things I don't think are ugly. The main point is this:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I think you need goals documented in some fashion to be truly productive.

Maybe not a task list but some list of your goals across days/weeks/months, otherwise you’re just noodling around or putting out fires. Or maybe I just have too much stuff going on at work. :-)

For me, having a Someday/Maybe list is critical. I am not focusing on it every day but I am periodically reviewing it.
I'm not really sure that's the issue... Even by 2000 color car popularity had began its drop with silver and black with the growing market. White did gain a lot of popularity then, but a lot of this was recovery from what it had lost in the early 90s.

Yup. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Not having the address relationship requires additional complexities. To get from the child to the parent, you need to spend an additional reference field, and need to keep it consistent with the other reference. If you embed directly, there's nothing in the relationship of the objects' identities that could ever get consistent. It's a strong guarantee.

How do you get from the child to the parent in, say Java? And how do you tell that a child is never swapped out?

How do you copy an object that holds, say 4 vec4, vec4 being a struct that itself 4 holds floats? With value types, say in C, it's 1 memcpy and you're done.

I think the word for this is "culture", not "God". I highly recommend taking an anthropology class. It's fascinating and eye-opening stuff. The entire course is basically all about this topic. It's case study after case study of this group or that group (often tribes since it works well as a microcosm) looking at how they operate as a group and what shared beliefs, values, traditions, norms, and rituals they have.

In the modern world and in larger societies, we tend to separate the ideas of ethics, values, religious beliefs, understanding of the natural world, education, and civil order (law, etc.) into different spheres of life, but in smaller groups, they can be all mashed together into a singular "this is what the tribe believes and how it works" thing.

So for example, in the US we don't have a state religion and we do have freedom of religion (mostly), which means our government and our church aren't the same cultural institution. But in some societies, they are. European countries have vestiges of this. Some countries in other parts of the world are literal theocracies.

And in most modern societies, the learned members of societies aren't the same group of people as the priests, but in some societies they are and you have a class of clerics who deal with all intellectual matters including religion, the natural world, and maybe other stuff.

So various societies decouple these different areas of life to different degrees. Some societies (and some elements within a given society) demand more uniformity than others.

---

So, why is culture such a strong force? Why do people ardently believe in things they were taught, regardless of evidence? Why do some traditions have such importance to people? Personally, I think it's because the human brain is hardwired to promote a common culture. I think we have a basic drive to spread cultural ideas and a drive to accept cultural ideas. We humans are social animals. Along with intelligence, it is what makes us successful as a species. For a group to function, it needs some shared rules and beliefs and agreement about what its goals are. In order to agree on those, I think we're built to promote and accept ideas from our culture. It also helps us preserve useful ideas over long periods of time.

But just like any drive, while it has a purpose, it's important to limit and control it. We also have a drive to eat delicious foods, but that has to be controlled. Culture should serve our needs, not the other way around.

One fun thing to be aware of is escaping requirements.

<script>alert("&lt;".length)</script>

In HTML with HTML syntax, this will alert 4, the string being "&lt;".

In HTML with XML syntax (yes, still a thing), or in SVG standalone, or in SVG in HTML of either syntax, this will alert 1, the string being "<".

There’s a lot more one can talk about with this, HTML parser details, script data double escaped state, CDATA, but I’ll leave it at that. Just don’t be surprised when you see this sort of thing in your SVG:

if (a &lt; b) { … }

Allowing users to place JavaScript inside a <script> tag in HTML but preventing them from breaking out of it is rather difficult, requiring semantic handling of the JavaScript and some rather convoluted changes which could still break things. Similar deal on CSS, just that it can be done perfectly since you don’t have to worry about Function.prototype.toString detecting the changes. But no, if you want to do such a thing, the sensible and principled way is either to serve the document with XML syntax (though there are various problems with this and I don’t advise trying), or to use SVG’s <script> or <style> instead of HTML’s, and do regular HTML entity encoding of the source. <svg><script>…</script></svg>, easy enough.
Thanks for pointing to MDL:

http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/infocom/info/MDL_Primer_...

Nevertheless, the MDL UNWIND and the later UNWIND-PROTECT are more limited in applications and they require much more work from the programmer than the mechanism introduced by Stroustrup in 1980.

With implicitly-invoked destructors, the destructor body is written once for each type of data, and normally there is no need to ever invoke it explicitly.

After writing correctly the constructors and destructors, the programmer's work becomes identical with using a garbage collector, because the objects are allocated explicitly, but they are never deallocated explicitly.

On the other hand, UNWIND is intended for handling exceptions. It can also be used as a normal cleanup strategy, but it still must be written every time for handling the exit from a block or from a hierarchy of nested blocks. In the latter variant, there is some economy in code writing, but the lazy deallocation is less efficient.

The UNWIND of MDL has little resemblance to RAII, but it resembles the UNWIND of Mesa (programming language used at Xerox, starting with 1976, which has introduced many innovations that have been included only much later in most programming languages).

It would be difficult to determine whether UNWIND has appeared first in MDL or in Mesa, or if both have taken it from another language, because experiments with exception handling were fashionable during those years and there were many places where various variants were tried.
There are many types of gamers tho, some move on to something new and exciting every week or month, some fall in love with a game and are slow to change.

This isn't about the type of gamer we are, this is about corporations trying to make more $$$, still stop. It's not about the games themselves, making the games and services better for us, the consumers. It's about money. I'll clutch on to old titles because all new games coming out are shit shows, and because if I paid for a game 10 years ago and I want to play it again then I'm going to do so, as I please and without a fucking cloud subscription or online services.

They can allow people to own games, but then they'd make less money.
