My opinion: it's the padding on the other parts of the body (particularly the shoulders) that makes NFL so dangerous. If you ran directly into someone at full speed without padding you'd injure yourself as much as you'd injure them, whereas the pads NFL players wear allow them to use their bodies as guided missiles. Rugby collisions (generally) happen at lower speeds, where the intention is to wrap up and grapple the opponent to the ground, not blast them off their feet. (There are also on-side rules in rugby, and no blocking away from the ball, so many, many fewer blind-side hits occur.)

Vision Pro Chronicles: A Dual Knit Open Setup
Right but if the idea is to maximize the open space / city size while maintaining a fast transit system, then the line makes sense to me.

I guess I don’t really understand the criticism, most of which seems to be “you should just build something that isn’t the thing you want to build.” There is plenty of aesthetic merit to the linear city idea on its own.

To use an example of a place that already exists: the city Łódź in Poland is situated along a single linear 4-5km street. Other neighborhoods branch off from it, but essentially the main road is the city’s layout. I really like it and think it’s a lot more interesting than it would be as a circle, even if the transit is theoretically not as optimal. There is something very aesthetically appealing about it.

FP in the industry is a niche thing, so the two phenomena are not really comparable.
MBS is formally in charge from the perspective of anyone but the King since being appointed PM (a title normally held by the monarch), and arguably even before that as First Deputy Prime Minister.

His power is not (as far as anyone not privy to the private preferences of King Salman
can say) extraconstitutional, since it flows directly from royal decree giving him the position and authority he holds, and Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy where any delegation of authority the King makes is, ipso facto, constitutional.

The first patent was issued in the 1400's — it is exactly how humans have progressed technologically and sociality. Let's stop being so absolutist about these topics.

The problem here isn't that patents exist, intellectual property protection is critical to investment and research. The issue here is two fold:

1. Patents usually involve a lot of research — and existed as a way to ensure that competition couldn't imitate your product without also making that investment, licensing it from you, etc. If there was no protection, they would immediately undercut you since they don't have investment costs to cover. Tech patents, however, are so broad and require so little actual material science that the "protect the investment" part doesn't add up.

2. Patent offices couldn't keep up with the rapid rate of technical advancement and may have granted overly-broad patents for what we would now consider rather general topics. The only effective way to invalidate these patents is expensive and lengthy court proceedings — which is fair, if you think about it, you wouldn't want your rights taken away without a defence. But when weaponised, it can count-intuitively stifle the innovation it was trying to protect.

What we need is a better criteria and definition of IP which better suits modern industry.
On Self-Respect (1961)
I trust a free wifi hotspot to give me an IP (traffic will be protected by TLS), but not with the time. E. g. time from the past can be used to trick into accepting an expired TLS certificate. But for most wifi hotspots it will be unintentionally wrong because such devices often unmonitored and not maintained until they completely break.
One more example, if your request contains a batch of operations, you generally have to return 200, or maybe 204, if it was successfully received and should not be retried in full. In the response body, you might give other response codes for specific errors or failures to retry in a new request. So it can easily make sense to return 200 when there are e.g. partial failures and partial success and the request was properly formatted, authorized and acted upon.

Across NATO, and especially in America, the tone has been distinctly pessimistic from the start.

He's been directly quoted [1]. In English, at times [2]. They're for foreign--most directly, American--consumption.

> We’ve scoured the planet for weapons to give them

We haven't given them range equipment and forbade strikes inside Russia, even clearly military targets of direct pertinence to Ukraine. Look at the effects of their strikes on Russian refinery capacity. This is a carbon copy of British and American strategy against the Nazis, to pull air-defence assets away from the frontline. (Or Ukraine's strikes on Crimea breaking Russia's blockade of its grain shipments.)

Had Ukraine had a full complenent of range armament when they started taking out Russia's warships and aircraft near the frontlines, they could have dealt an irrecoverable blow in '22. Instead, we drew things out, letting a few successful strikes show the Russians their weaknesses, letting Putin regroup and redeploy.

> Nobody knew what would happen if we’d send tanks or planes or specific weapons. Being prudent was smart.

Every military planner worth their salt did. We never equipped Ukraine to win. We still can. But it's been an ongoing political choice to draw the war out. (We did the same before the last world wars. Hence the analogy.)

I sort of assume they would have express trains as well as local trains, a bit like the NY subway. I.e. one train which just goes direct to the other end with no stops at high speed.
My impression is that inheritance is in many common programming languages the easiest way to share code. Sharing code in another way would require some more thoughts and sometimes code, so the lazy programmer takes inheritance.

Traits as a general concept would be very useful in many programming languages, but only some (like Scala) have proper support for it. In principle a Java interface with default methods (implemented methods) is also something like a trait, but very limited compared to traits in Scala. I have no statistics, but my impression is that inheritance is much less used in Scala, because the language has an easy to use alternative.

Another example is Go, where structs with their associated methods can be embedded, what is exactly composition supported by the language. Since Go doesn't support inheritance, programmers obviously needs to use this approach, so you would never see inheritance in Go programs.

So, my conclusion is that the usage of inheritance depends on what the language supports and how easy it is to use.

For me all art I enjoy has some aspect of connection to someone that's sharing my human experience.

But for today's "AI" generated music, I feel the same towards it as I would towards the random step function output of a given tool in Ableton - sounds cool, now what can we do with that to make it into music?

I use it as a glorified search engine and to read through bad documentation (arhm, AWS). but this only works for well documented solutions.

core programming hasn't really changed over the past years with good reason: you need. to. understand what you do. this is the bottleneck. not writing it.
Doing every simple thing that used to be done in "normal procedural" way in functional paradigm instead when using something like Scala or fp-ts in TypeScript.

Causing engineers to completely change their mental model of how the code runs, which I still have intuitive trouble imagining correctly and I see it with other developers as well. A lot of energy goes into trying to understand how to do a simple action. It is much harder to read the code and have a correct mental model as well.

It can be useful in the situation where you want to override functionality in a class without making the functions public.

If you're composing a class out of multiple chunks of functionality then all of the bits you want to call need to be public. If you're sublcassing and overriding then the bits you're overriding can be internal, and not part of your public API.
I should have added to my statement "by now".

I think things tend towards disclosure. We had coverups in the UK of rape gangs operating in northern towns which was eventually came to light after many years. I think if there are significant vaccine harms they will come to light. I don't know that if those harms exist they would have come to light by now.
Because the cause of a person singing is their mental states (desire, emotion, intention, etc.) and the cause of this generation of audio is that the words are associated with some backcatalogue of previous music.

Listening to songs, as speaking with people, is in large part about enjoying the causes of the song rather than the mere variations in pitch.

Beethoven's 5th even, purely instrumental, is enjoyable because of how the composer is clearly playing with you.

To generate pitch variations identical to beethovens fifth makes this an illusion, one hard to sustain if you know its an illusion. It isnt an illusion in the case of the 5th itself: beethoven really had those desires.

> antithetical to how humans have progressed socially and technologically for millenia

I'd argue the opposite. It has been one of the primary driving forces behind human progress for the past 300-400 years. The world today would be a much bleaker and more miserable place if IP rights never became a thing.

Imagine writing or any type of content creation without copyright. Even after the printing press was invented it was basically impossible to make a living only from writing without being independently wealthy, having some rich patron or a daytime job. Publishing any new content was risky and generally unprofitable, it would either flop or if it didn't other publishers would start printing it without giving you a dime.

Without IP rights innovating only makes sense if you're large corporation and have a moat or you're funded by someone else (state/universities/etc.). For any small to medium business it would mean that you would incur all of the costs and couldn't compete with others which would steal your tech as soon as it becomes public.

Of course there is a point where it might start stifling innovation and we might be already past it but that's a bit like calling for air travel to be banned because of the whole Boeing debacle etc.
> since it flows directly from royal decree giving him the position and authority he holds

Do you have a source for the decree? (EDIT: Nvm, Salman delegated various affairs to MBS [1], as well as made him PM [2]. Salman remains the head of state.)

I'd still argue that MBS is not formally in charge. The President can delegate their authority to a rando, that doesn't make it lower-case constitutional, e.g. Edith Wilson [3]. (Granted, that was done without formal decree.)

Going back to the Greek analog, tyrants would usually gain some instrument from the formal leader technically legitimising their actions. But the formal leader wasn't the one deciding. The tyrant was.

It might cost a bit, but if you had a Chromebook with an SD card, you could rip movies onto SD cards (1-2 GB should be fine, even 4GB will hold a blu-ray rip), and have it autoplay on insertion.

Hardest part would be hiding errors on yanking them out without unmounting.

Then you could rip DVD and Blu-ray to SD cards and hold them in the cases.

Given all the difficulties caused by DRM idiocy that you describe, why not quit being tempted and just do it?

If ever shitty, avaricious, unreasonable, idiotic little laws that absolutely deserve to be broken existed, it's those around DRM for movies and TV shows. There's no practical reason to be squeamish about breaking them. As you say, fuck DRM, so why not apply exactly that?
I find that it helps most if we make algorithms the centerpiece of the design and then use inheritance to facilitate coding and make everything succinct.
The days of unwieldy inheritance structures coming out of big design patterns are clearly over.
You haven't lived life to the fullest until you've had to debug an issue in a 12-layer-of-inheritance class with the original call ping-ponging a couple dozen times across the layers and overrides everywhere.

I guess one could say this would be workable with proper tools, but the IDEs just aren't there. Move up a level in inheritance, ctrl-click on a call? It was overriden somewhere in the hierarchy, but the IDE will send you to the parent-class definition regardless.

I saw a lot more composition than inheritance in C++ and C#. I think inheritance and polymorphism have their place. Like anything, they can be misused.
Nice remark, and expected. I did some research into this some time ago. We were looking into "bio-light" using luciferase (the mentioned firefly protein). The thing is that that protein emits one photon for 1 ATP (fuel) molecule. The amount of ATP needed to make a 200 lumen plant, is kilograms per day. Completely unfeasible.

We concluded that indeed "green tinted moonlight" was about feasible, maybe not even. Seems like now they have a better way, too bad there are no details.

I learned with the 68000 which not only was still a bit relevant and an "industry" chip, it was also simple enough to understand in a few hours assembly courses.

The CPU arch course was with a different teacher and on a made up CPU though. It wasn't even a full CPU we were just learning modules and what they do. Kind of a more advanced (and less palatable) version of the book "but how do it know" (which btw is a great read for the neophyte like me).
There’s a rule-of-thumb I’ve found about OOP where you want to use composition when extending data, and you want to use inheritance when extending behaviors.

The zoo animal metaphor that you often see used in teaching inheritance (lions are animals, simba is a lion all animals have a length, but lions also have claws etc.) is a bad perspective and you should never use inheritance to model a problem like that in the real world.

The only time I’ve used inheritance, has been on toy problems that didn’t need it. Not to say it doesn’t have its place but when I encounter it, it’s time consuming to peel back all the layers or deal with idioms that don’t quite fit a problem that a developer has enforced through inheritance.
I'm going to assume that like me you're not an artist, or at least not the kind of artist who can generate 5000 dungeon pictures by hand.
