It requires a perspective change. The documentation is not the definition of a feature. It was the spec the feature was written to, at the time work began. It is a theoretical snapshot in time of how it was intended to be implemented.

That is helpful for the future, but not definitive.

To help it out, you could add links from the documentation to release notes, PRs, maybe even the code files in the repo, so future readers can see not only what was intended, but the current reality.

My father runs a few guest suites from his house here in South Africa.

5 or so years ago I happened to be at his house when he had a slightly interesting case where a couple arrived unexpectedly claiming to have made a booking, but there was no corresponding booking on my father's profile.

When I looked closer at the booking on the app on their phone, it turns out they had made the booking for a listing which was a copy of my father's listing.

When we all realized what had happened, they phoned AirBnB and had them reverse the fraudulent booking, fortunately one of the rooms was available and they paid my father directly through an immediate electronic funds transfer payment.

It's possible that the couple that was trying to scam my father, but based on their behaviour, it seemed highly unlikely to me. My best guess is that this fraud works against less savvy hosts who assume that there "must be an error with AirBnB" or when bookings are adequately in advance that the fraudulent listings receive the money before everyone realizes it's a fraudulent copy.

Most of his bookings these days come from repeat customers or Booking.com.

> Not everything is about money. You have way more security in Western Europe comparing to the US

It is as a skilled immigrant like my parents.

A job like a doctor or engineer pays decently well in your home country, so there's no reason to uproot your life unless there is a DRASTIC difference in QoL, because immigrating is expensive. You're looking at $30-50k spent to immigrate.

Germany doesn't provide that drastic enough an economic change compared to the US and Canada, and that's why it's so easy to immigrate to Germany - it isn't as oversubscribed, and those same white collar roles you mentioned end up giving the same if not better benefits in North America via your employer.

For Eastern European or MENA immigrants, Germany makes sense because there is an existing community and it's close to home - not as much for Asians or Central/South Americans.

Furthermore, the xenophobia is real in Germany and across Europe. It's hard to explain to a Gora or Ang Mo, but like you'll never truly become "German" or "French" for a large segment of the population no matter how much you try to assimilate.

> it is way easier to get a permanent residence and citizenship, for example in Germany than the US

Because for a large segment of immigrants (especially from Asia and Central/South America and especially among skilled professionals), Germany and much of Europe simply isn't as attractive a proposition. You end up spending a similar amount immigrating but salaries are much lower and communities aren't as established so it harder to recoup costs

Apple is too skittish.

There’s no reason to apologize. It’s taking the ‘crushing carbon into diamonds metaphor’ and using it for their product.

In the beginning it looks over the top, ‘ultra violent’, but then it becomes a metaphor for how they view their product.

Now, sure, it’s preposterous to think that this diamond of a thing can be as good as all the real objects it replaces, but that’s advertising.

The best solution for these cases of mild inconvenient noise is to mask it with more noise, ideally a fan or a pink/brown noise generator, or even sounds of rain or a waterfall.

You want the noise to be indistinct enough that your mind won't focus on it. So avoid a bad fan that has a whiny pitch, that will drive you crazy.
First: "Lisp has no programming philosophies" and styles

You misquoted me. I said no philosophy, singular. In the programming language context, a philosophy is a convention or a standard. Just as many standards implies that there is no standard, many philosophies implies no philosophy.

Everything else you said is evidence for my premise. Hire 3 different programmers, one from each of the communities, and you might as well have 3 different programming languages. That’s not a standard. That’s not a philosophy. That’s anything goes!

I don't buy it completely.

It's like when I read arguments such as "Aramco most polluting company in the planet by CO2" or "eating a burger pollutes more than driving an SUV for 100 miles"...

Apple, Aramco, your local butcher are merely serving your needs. Aramco ain't forcing you to buy 5L V8 trucks, and you're butcher ain't forcing you to eat beef rather than poultry or vegetables.

Apple releasing new products is just a normal tech company serving the need of users to have the latests shiny gadget, shareholders to see equity and employees and contractors having jobs.

What do I mean? While in principal I agree that many companies should do a lot more to limit their pollution, at the end of the day this pollution is a direct consequence of us average Joes neverending consumerism.

If average Joe doesn't give a damn about using public transport or using a used hybrid or to adapt his lifestyle to be less polluting, legislators and companies are gonna adapt to people not giving a damn besides whining on Twitter.
> I personally don’t find the TUI idea compelling. I’d rather use a general purpose language like Rust or Python. Many powerful and mature frameworks are already available to build TUIs there. You want to optimise the average one-off hacked-up script writing experience. Most scripts are written in a hurry to accomplish some boring task or automation.

That's interesting, because I have the same starting point as you (optimise hacked-up script experience) but a lot of the time as my script grows I really wish there's a nice little TUI for it. For example, rather than finding my invocation of the script from my command history and edit the CLI arguments, can I just have a little "pop-up menu" for my workflows, where I can probably add some string argument? Or allow me to see the outputs of the script in a slightly more fancy way than a stream of text - like a Miller column view, which Elvish already has implemented in its file manager? Ideally, these should be "ready-made" UI components that you can take advantage of from your hacked-up script with just one or two lines of code.

I'm also coming from the viewpoint of implementation - I've built Elvish's TUI using some very generic building blocks but they are only used for very specialized builtin features of Elvish, so I'm really keen on exposing the capability for shell scripts to use.

I guess we're thinking of different things when we say "TUI" - perhaps you are thinking of full blown TUI applications, like an editor? I'd agree that a more [1] general-purpose language is more suitable and Elvish is not in the business of being a good language to implement the next TUI editor :) Maybe I should coin a new term for what I have in mind, which should be something you can hack up as easily as a CLI. "TUIlet" maybe?

> I would spend time building a top notch LSP for Elvish. Shell scripting languages tend to be highly untyped and flexible so building a good LSP will be tough here. But if you were able to build one that works really well you would have another really compelling reason to use Elvish.

Definitely! It's not what I'm working on in the immediate future, but good editor integration is a must to make the experience of writing scripts much better than more traditional shells.

1. Emphasis on "more", because Elvish is a general-purpose language itself, just not the most general-purpose :)

This ended up being four parts:

Part 1 (TFA) is an intro to Egglog, with both a trivial example and an ordinary SK/combinatory logic implementation (a la functional programming) http://www.chriswarbo.net/blog/2024-02-25-sk_logic_in_egglog...

Part 2 switches to Haskell, to investigate a problem in my egglog implementation of extensional-equality, explaining the symbolic execution approach it was based on http://www.chriswarbo.net/blog/2024-03-17-sk_logic_in_egglog...

Part 3 continues with Haskell, looking at the statistics of our property checks and tweaks them to explore more thoroughly. Eventually the problem was uncovered: allowing symbolic/meta variables to occur inside the expressions we were checking for equality http://www.chriswarbo.net/blog/2024-04-02-sk_logic_in_egglog...

Part 4 takes these lessons back to egglog, to give a sound implementation of extensional equality; showing how it can be used for higher-level reasoning, with an example of Church-encoded boolean operators http://www.chriswarbo.net/blog/2024-05-10-sk_logic_in_egglog...

I'm wondering if this is a consequence of employing your own internal ad agency – maybe you are at risk of being out of touch with the audiences you are looking to reach.

Apple ads (created by TBWAChiatDay) used to be part of the Zeitgeist: 1984, Think Different, iPod silhouette, Mac vs. PC, etc. Now the only Apple ads that people talk about are the cringiest of the cringe: this iPad ad, the 'Mother Earth' bit from last year's iPhone/Watch keynote, etc.
I fully agree, but the ad symbolically presents the idea that those things are redundant - in the crusher. It is the ad, not Apple per se which is being criticised.

Well, I was thinking of the scale of destruction. Between 2010 and 2020 for instance, we have destroyed 4.7 million hectares of wild forest per year [1]. Seems like destroying a few instruments is nothing compared to what modern technology is capable of. What about the highest level of CO2 in the atmosphere in the past 800,000 years due to our consumerist lifestyles? Do you still think it's hyperbole? Tell me if you think it's hyperbole in 50 years when the next measurements of arctic ice are taken.

The user is able to, with pretty good granularity, set various permissions through friendly GUIs. Things like Flatseal or KDE's very system settings. You can even override what permissions are set by default, pretty cool stuff. This for Flatpaks.

Of course, using xdg-desktop-portal requires developers to use that API. But honestly, I've seen most software I use asking permissions through it. This is most evident when running some Wayland compositor.

To be fair, yes, the developer needs to do their part.

Marlboro wasn't forcing you to smoke either, yet too many people did against their own health and own best judgement, so we had to get government regulators to rule them in to protect people form damaging themselves and others with their own desires.

Just because consumers want something, doesn't mean it's what's best for them and that the capitalist free market should just be free to unregulatedly deliver whatever consumers want, at the expense of societal health or the environment, because then that's just "privatizing profits while socializing losses" with extra steps.

We also had governments regulate car emissions to save our air quality which meant engines had to be much more efficient and less environmentally damaging. All for the greater good, and few people complained about the cleaner smog- and tobacco- free air despite loosing a few HP on their engines and Marlboro selling fewer fags.

What makes you think e-waste should be exempt from such regulations?
No, because I didn't take the video literally, or try to find some way to feel offended or upset by it. I saw it as a cartoonish metaphor, compressing a lot of creative tools into a single device. I didn't see it as representing destruction of humanity, and I seriously doubt Apple intended that interpretation.

Remember the 1984 ad for the Macintosh, where a woman threw a sledgehammer through a big screen, destroying it, and exposing the audience of slave-like people to potentially dangerous bits of glass from the explosion? Do you suppose a lot of people felt outraged by that, unable to comprehend the metaphor and references to the novel 1984? If Apple released that ad today they would probably face snowflake backlash and fake outrage.

Some may call the latest ad tone-deaf or missing the mark. But the outrage over Apple's video is just another tiresome example of fake outrage, narcissists centering themselves and playing the victim. Whether people actually can't understand metaphors or irony, or just pretend they can't so they can play at suffering harm, I don't know, but either way that behavior presents more of a threat to society than Apple's advertising.

Elvish's lambda syntax used to be [arg]{ ... }. But since [arg] is also the syntax for lists, it can get confusing - so I decided to move the argument list inside { ... }. And going through all the metacharacters Elvish already had, | was the one that was meaningless at the start of the lambda body, so I settled on {|arg| ... }.

I only realized the similarity with Smalltalk after that. I did learn a little Smalltalk many years ago but completely forgot about it, but it's possible that the knowledge was always somewhere in my subconscious brain.
