Let me take a step back. I believe that enforcing interoperability has downsides, and they should be acknowledged. And I can't help but to think that this law is rather a lobbying effort to undermine the "winners" of the current situation. Let's note that a ton of people are using alternatives to WhatsApp today. Probably not less than people who are using "alternative" email providers (which you mentioned as a "good example"), actually?

I completely see how Matrix has everything to win from that law, so of course they will lobby for it. And the article you linked reads (to me) like a bunch of highly-debatable unconvincing marketing statements. I personally am not a big fan of the Matrix protocol, and I find that using Matrix is really painful (and I tried hard to love Matrix). Telling me that "the solution is to enforce Matrix everywhere" will obviously not convince me.

I do believe that interoperability is a feature that may or may not be desirable. E-mail is great for that, and I am happy it exists. But other protocols have other strengths, and that should be okay. Why should we all agree on a "standard way of communicating"?

And note that I hate BigTech as much as the next guy. I just don't think that writing a law that would (for instance) force every second person to use Firefox would be the good way to promote Firefox.
Abandon your engineering mindset when approaching any kind of art, especially music. Don't impose terms like "tooling" and talk about "my brain" and things like that. Submit to your music teacher, learn music the way people have been learning it for thousands of years. Don't procrastinate with looking for "tool games", as so many enginerds do when the going gets tough.
And maybe German industry should build some regular guns as well so that their army will no longer have to rely on wooden broomsticks painted black.

That is how things are done all over Europe though. The state plans a new suburb by also planning bus stops, roads, subways, trains, parks, shopping malls and schools within walking distance etc. That ensures there are no really bad homes so even the cheap homes are in nice livable areas.

It isn't expensive to build such areas, so there is no reason not to do it except if you want to punish the poor.

The structure of this article makes it unreadable if you don’t already know what effects mean in this context.

The introduction promises that the talk will explain what effects are. Finally, some 75% in, after discussing topics like “what happens when we can’t be generic over effects”, it does get around to answering the question of what effects actually are. But the answer is rather unsatisfying if you don’t know these definitions already. For example:

“A lot of languages which have effects provide both effect types and effect handlers. These can be used together, but they are in fact distinct features. In this talk we'll only be discussing effect types.”

This doesn’t really clarify much.

I have a visible_at field which indicates when the "message" will show up in checkout commands. When checked out or during a heartbeat from the worker this gets bumped up by a certain amount of time.

When a message is checked out, or re-checked out, a key(GUID) is generated and assigned. To delete the message this key must match.

A message can be checked out if it exists and the visible_at field is older or equal to NOW.

That's about it for semantics. Any further complexity, such as workflows and states, are modeled in higher level services.

If I felt it mattered for perf and was worth the effort I might model this in a more append-only fashion taking advantage of HOT updates and etc. Maybe partition the table by day and drop partitions older than longest supported process. Use the sparse index to indicate deleted.. Hard to say though with SSDs, HOT, and the new btree anti-split features..
Interesting article, but surprisingly poor writing for a flagship big city newspaper. It’s full of typos and incomplete sentences. Is it AI generated text, or just a frantic writer with a dozen more articles to crank out today?
> The first one talks about how his theory that the brain can forget trauma that is encoded in the body as the same "mistaken reasoning" that caused "arguably the most serious catastrophe to strike the mental health field since the lobotomy era."

I’ve never taken that from his work; it sounds like an over-characterization.

Here’s a thing he does claim, though — since trauma is stored/encoded in the body, it must be released from the body. It could be easy to mistake that as “trauma can be removed from the brain.”

Well, to teach the principles you just need a pen and some paper and a calculator. Is using a multimeter to measure the output of a circuit 'teaching the product'?
Yeah, digging the name. For the uninitiated: 'aho' is basically 'git' in Osakan.
On another computer that I was not logged in, something else happened. It didn't say log in, but the search results were displayed and then one second later it removed them and displayed an error message (which did not explain the problem, but it did not ask you to log in, either). I was able to view the search results by pausing execution of scripts using the debugger, though.
The idea is to stop people from encouraging others to vote. So they can keep the turnout as low as possible. Usually people who are politically motivated force their friends or relatives to cast vote.

yes. back in the day i would tend to wrap my database api in xml first in a standardised way and then i could just use xslt to return json or other formats from the api depending on the mime types requested by client. this fits in nicely with fielding's REST principles. all those technologies (HTTP/REST, XML, XPath, XML Schema, XSLT) actually work very nicely together and allow you to build nice systems that are very flexible, easy to integrate with and easy to change, even though they can be hard to make fast. maybe "move fast, break things" was a bad idea? =)

There is no problem for people to hold their own pesonal views and opinions, it becomes a problem when those are imposed on others.
Often a combination of sax and dom is usefull. You get many GBs of SAX stream, but it usually contains the same kind of documents. Creating a DOM at the end a specific token means fast processing, but still the easy of use of DOM.

yes, the learning curve can be a problem initially but, once you grok it, it opens up a whole world of interesting possibilities. and i do think, once you have created your initial transforms, it is then much easier for non-tech folks to "see" how things work and make tweaks/changes without having to mess with "code".
I quite enjoyed that movie, although the relation with Vidocq was a bit tangential. The tv series with Claude Brasseur had a bit more material :)
But I don't think Putin is self-destructive / suicidal. There is no hope for controlling a hypothetical conquered European country for any length of time given Russia's present capabilities.

Realistically the only thing Russia can hope for is the preservation of the status quo - keeping Crimea and the land bridge to it.
> I think the problem is more that-- assuming a comparable price-- they're probably going to skimp out on the "lower level" stuff in a kit with an Arduino.

The person I replied to did not mention anything about what was included in the arduino kits, just that they refused to consider them at all.

Fair point! Usually in online chess, it auto-draws the game. I guess there's an assumption that that's what the players want / not running out of time in blitz games.
> Is x,y,z worse than reading books? [..] People fetishise them.

If you chose not to read books yes it is worse. There are many books you can read that will give you a massive amount of information about a subject, not only hard facts but soft philosophical issues. I've experienced The Trail by Kafka as radio/play/movie/book, it is amazingly good as a book.

I do not care if you do not think the same or if you can not experience the same thing as I can when I read books. I do not want you to deprive others of that feeling though.

Steven Pinker's _Better Angels of our Nature_ is a great read on the subject, as well. Essentially a history of the decline of violence, but also including economic aspects that support humans becoming better.
I don’t notice much going between the two on I-80, well except you go from pretty straight desert roads into a freaking mountain range. Are mountains involved in the border at I-15 also?

California is rated poorly on roads on average because they have a lot of rural/mountainous terrain to cover. In the cities where most people live, the roads are actually pretty good.

Not in Pakistan. Pakistan has had 40 years of direct marshal laws, 35 years of indirect marshal laws since 1947. Pakistan Army operate a state within the state. Where what constitution says matters less than what an army chief says. They control the judiciary by blackmailing them by their corruption charges or recording them necked, whom they can't control are forced to resign, who do not comply to pressure they storm the courts with the militant wings. They change sentiments and spread fear but using them for a suicide attack.

But this time, things changed. Public get to know what has been happening to their country since last 75 years.
True enough. And very accurate about the mouse.

It depends on your income since income taxation in California is extremely graduated. If you make less than $60-70k, you’ll pay less in CA, otherwise you’ll do better in TX.
Sometimes it is difficult. Sometimes I have had various ways of doing so, but sometimes I don't know. (They say, naming things is the most difficult thing in computers.)

All of these are basically "what we have now, but with magic".

I'm sorry but how magic and the legal system interact is a subject explored in fiction. Hell, even Harry Potter touched on the subject. And that's not going to even touch authors like Jim Butcher and Piers Anthony who have entire series about "this, but with magic".
> What solution does that offer?

Really? If people weren't forced to pay as much taxes as they have today they would have more resources to invest in what really matters to them instead of having a bunch of bureacrauts wasting it.

> I don't see any low-hanging fruit or big improvements there.

There are tons of low-hanging fruits, at least in South America, the issue is that government doesn't exist to provide services and seek the interests of the population. Government is just a big mafia and things are corrupt and inneficient by design because their true goal is to fill their pockets.

It's actually great on the hiring side — you can skip all that bullshit and because tryhards are all prepping obscure CS questions just having a conversation about technical topics has become signal again. Measure something people aren't trying to game and you get a better assessment, go figure.

What changed? Well it was about 2010, The industry became a target for very low quality people to do whatever they could to land the job by faking and lying. All of these annoying interview tricks are just a way to try to filter out all the people (90% of them now) who taught themselves how to talk the talk but couldn’t program themselves out of a wet paper bag. And yes, there are ways to figure it out but it’s really hard given the current volume, and having your engineers stop and interview constantly kills productivity when you have to interview 20 people and only one can even count words in a file.

they only succeeded when the market expanded such that you don't have to be technically right, but just have the larger marketing budget.

ipod was advertised around the world like absolutely nothing before it. there was no international launch of consumer device before it.

iphone destroyed the media because att did not have the best network but saw they could sell more data than they could sell minutes. so it also had the most marketing of any telecom device in history.

all that in a time consumer eletronics left the enterprise+niche market.

hardly either are the case with the headset. it will flop. and if not, it's because they undertood fomo influencer marketing better than everyone else.
You would definitely get different results in another language. My best known language is Polish and the best translation of "vehicle" (pojazd) carries different connotations than "vehicle". For example a plane or a boat is definitely not a "pojazd".
Most effective learning experience I ever had was reading the relevant book chapter before class, taking some broad notes to structure my understanding, and then asking questions during class when either the lecture didn’t make sense or we reached a confusion I had from reading.

I only managed one class like that and only near the end of my undergraduate career. Both earlier in ugrad and in grad school I was way too busy barely staying afloat to be so meticulous about my education.

That sounds good. I was in my early twenties when smartphones went from a curiosity you heard about on the TV to a reality in many hands. Scammers and beggars masively outweighted positive random contacts even before. Phones and headphones did not cause this where I have grown up.

As another comment said, trauma manifests as certain unique physiological effects and mental patterns. We have learned that there are many different circumstances that can bring about these effects.
Yes, I explicitly do the opposite and have the most pragmatic exercises, questions.

Another thing is an exercise for system design where hyperscaling is not required and the thing is actually quite simple. Many who have specifically prepared by leetcoding and reading "cracking the coding interview" 10 times over will naturally overengineer everything trying to fit this exercise to those book patterns dropping all common sense, all the while not having actually built anything meaningful.

I think these people will mostly try to rest and vest anyway. Truly passionate people will pass since they have actually built something and will understand the exercise.
This is a (the?) use case for room-temperature superconductors: cheap fMRI scanners. It's trauma if the brain scans match trauma responses.

> I looked at a dark, unremarkable 4 bedroom condominium priced at $400k, which was at least 6x my annual income.

I suspect, people, even with comparatively high income, stopped being able to buy hard securities like houses. Why save up then? So, folk had a lot more "disposable income" to consume soothing, but overall transient consumable products and services like clothing, tech gadgets, food, subscriptions... – lifestyle stuff. You know: 1000$ sneakers and a 12$/month meditation app. A bit of luxury and the illusion of wealth. This in turn enabled an industry of bullshit pushers, who started manufacturing the demand for all these consumables, trying to reap a new massive YOLO market. All, of course, paying their 20% to the 1%.

Rents and living costs kept rising, so now we got to the point where "luxury" has become cheap, cheap lookalike instead, and most everybody is hustling to keep their "standard of living". Multiple jobs and a side gig, to pay for the fix and all your subscriptions... no pension, no pause. Ever.

Look at the housing crisis and get all academic about the economy... What terrifies me, is this new, omnipresent private sell-out and monetization of social interactions. Everybody always has something to sell, is self-branding. Everybody wants to get in my head constantly, stomp their shit between my dopamine receptors. Too often, I feel exhausted and physically sick from this dynamic, I feel the sick. Decency and respect had their IPO.

And I am carrying a new generalized anger with me everywhere, which I see in fellow strangers, too. People are increasingly short-fused. The pandemic accelerated this. Traffic is mad.

I fear the fabric of the collective is on sale at this moment. Maybe the mandated growth dogma has hit the capacity of healthy attention or something. This is not just an economic bubble, but the exhaustion of a part human along with it. Someone is getting high on their own supply...
