> the law is so interpretable (e.g. "what is exactly PII data? IP addresses? the evercookie? what is an evercookie?")

It's only interpretable if you never read it. You could start with showing where the law defines PII or where it mentions "evercookies" (or cookies in general)
It was a major consideration for Initial D, which is pretty much the definitive car anime. Animating movement in tandem with dynamic camera movement is very difficult (also why shows like Love Live use 3DCGI for dance scenes, and why Disney was using 3D elements in films like Beauty and the Beast) and modeling accurate vehicle physics in hand drawn animation is also difficult. It simply wouldn't have been viable without 3D animation.

I've had thirty years to reflect on HyperCard and my relationship with it. I've come to the conclusion, and it looks like Gruber did as well, that what HC users really wanted for Mac was their own version of Visual Basic.

The early Mac frameworks were painful. No way around it. People wanted to make interesting things, or even small useful things, with this environment and couldn't. HyperCard allowed people to get a lot closer to their goal than MPW.

IEEE 754 defines an exact binary result for the addition of any two floats.

That this bit-identical result is not the same operation as addition of real numbers is irrelevant, because floats aren't reals.

f1 + f2 is not an estimation. Even treating it as an approximation will get you into trouble. It's not that either, it's a floating-point result, and algorithms making heavy use of floating point had better understand precisely what f1 + f2 is going to give you if they want to obtain maximum precision and accuracy.

24bit integers and floats, no array datatype, and a maximum 4GB heap of nodes are very harse restrictions, especially for any workloads that would actually want to be running on a GPU. The limitations in the HVM2 whitepaper about unsound evaluation around closures and infinite loops because it is evaluating both sides of a conditional without any short circuiting are also extremely concerning.

Before you reply "these are things we can address in the future": that doesn't matter. Everyone can address everything in the future. They are currently hard technical barriers to it's use, with no way of knowing the level of effort that will require or the knock-on effects, especially since some of these issues have been "we can fix that later" for ten years.

I also highly recommend changing your benchmark numbers from "interactions per second" to a standard measurement like FLOPS. No one else on earth knows how many of those interactions are pure overhead from your evaluation semantics, and not doing useful work. They come across as attempting to wow an audience with high numbers and not communicating an apples to apples comparison with other languages.
Yes, obviously "something" else would have happened had regulators blocked the merger - I don't know why you're hyper-focusing on that. My point is that it would almost certainly have been an even worse outcome for everybody involved.

Unless you can show me how a cellular company that and backed itself into a technological dead end (and built up enormous debt during said process that sapped most of the money it earned to service) and needed quite possibly multi-tens of billions to even catch up to the others, you're not really adding to any conversation. If it was possible, business-people with more money and brains than either of us would have leapt at the opportunity.

The only alternative I can possibly think of is taxpayers ponying up - but that would in the end mean that consumers would "pay" indirectly, to say nothing of the moral hazard costs of government bailing out private businesses (works so well in the financial industry, doesn't it?).

I'm interesting in learning more about individual stock investing. I mean, I've been doing it for years, but more just on hype. I've been very successful, but I do very little research on fundamentals and I want to do more of that.

So, your tool sounds interesting, but I don't know enough to use it. Do you have a tutorial video or anything that might walk me through a user story on how somebody would use your tool? Or, do you know of a good fundamentals course that would give me the knowledge to be a customer of your tool?
You're wrong. The Haskell code is compiled to a loop, which we didn't optimize for yet. I've edited the README to use the Bitonic Sort instead, on which allocations are unavoidable. Past N=20, HVM2 performs 4x faster than GHC -O2.

Unfortunately, Imgur also largely ceased being memes and / or discussion board include image storage (Reddit) and starting being a lot of TikTok / Vine / Youtube Short cross-posts. "Here's my dog / cat, my dog / cat's cute." "Here's us in our car, we're very clever." "Here's us in softcore dress-up, look at how attractive we are."

That's true, you never mentioned Python or alternatives in your README, I guess I got Mandela'ed from the comments in Hacker News, so my bad on that.

As usual the worst mistake is Hoare's Billion Dollar Mistake (null). But yes obviously arrays shouldn't decay.

The "fix" would be to not have arrays decay. I believe C++ could probably get there if it had taken Epochs, I further believe taking Epochs (P1881) when it was proposed would have been extremely disruptive but perhaps possible and worth attempting. I do not believe it's still possible, the moment passed and with it, in my view, any hope of salvaging C++.

Without Epochs, any and every such change to C++ is similarly disruptive and that's too expensive so more or less nothing gets fixed, instead layers of kludges must be added. That's how Foonathan ends up with: class foo final trivially_relocatable namespace() { … };

I really dislike forums nowadays but I'm part of a /r/$car subreddit along with the $carforum.com and there's no comparison between using reddit vs the forum for quality data and not losing things to the ether.

There are so many subreddits where great posts get lost, subreddits that don't allow commenting on old posts, being notified when old posts are updated, things like that. $Carforum has tags I can follow, just so many QOL features that reddit will never implement. You can sort subreddit by top, google search for something specific but all of those QOL improvements forums have lead to such better growing conversations. I guess reddit has flairs now that I think about it but I rarely see that used as a search mechanism.

With that said I absolutely hate having to sign up for forums. If they don't have a google/apple/whatever auth I can use there's a 70%+ chance I'll never make an account. And even then it's a consideration because you never know if after creating an account with an SSO you'll next be asked 20 questions, be limited from posting for X amount of time/karma (which does happen on reddit but less frequently IME).

Subreddits need .. sub-sub reddits or something similar. /r/$car/wheels, /r/$car/engine..

Also, as cliche as it is, I have never had a worse experience with moderators than on reddit. I used to be an ircop on efnet and none of us were anywhere near as rude and quick to assume the worst as my reddit experience.

> A standardized HTML specification for email; complete with a test suite for conformance. Or, maybe we just declare a version of the HTML5 spec to be officially binding and that’s the end of it.

keels over in laughter

Oh, there's been quite a few attempts at at standardizing HTML rules for email. I was even in one of them, which petered out very quickly.

Functionally speaking, the problem is you have three groups of people with HTML email (well, four groups, if you include the people who wish it died off). You have the marketing folks, who want HTML email to work essentially exactly like regular webpages so they can do all their normal design stuff and get it to work. You have the MUA implementers (particularly webmail), who need to aggressively sandbox and sanitize the HTML because to do otherwise is to risk security leaks. And you have Microsoft, who needs to keep visual compatibility with Word HTML because their userbase would flip out if they broke stuff. These groups want different stuff from HTML, and they're not going to do a good job of reconciling their viewpoints with one another.

> There is a reason why K&R do it that way.

This was and remains a bad decision, full stop.

'Pointer to something' should have been a parametrised type rather than C's weird syntax of overloading operator*. And I won't accept the argument that C was too old to have parametrised types: ML, Lisp, and many other functional-first languages developed alongside C and had them. We've just stuck with C because it got popular because of UNIX and then Linux.

I avoid raw pointers whenever I can when I write C++, and I yearn for a language that exposes pointers with a rich and expressive type system instead of making them glorified 64-bit unsigned ints. Pointers ought to be one-dimensional unsigned parametrised affine space types[1] (note: not affine types, which are completely different[2]), with several implications:

- comparing pointers to different types should be invalid

- subtracting pointers to the same type should return a signed 'pointer difference' type

- adding pointers to the same type should be invalid

- Get the address contained by a pointer with Ptr<T>::address()

> Fahrenheit is not an absolute scale

So if someone showed body temperature measured in Kelvin you would argue that it should start at 0? That seems even more ridiculous.

> Why shouldn't they?

Because for the vast majority of stock it would appear to be a straight line every single day? Can you find me a example of a stock trading app for a company who's price is > $100/share that shows intraday price activity on a zero scale?

Likewise most co2 charts start around 300ppm since that has been roughly where the lower bound of atmospheric co2 levels have been for all of human history.

The last time co2 was 0 on the planet earth it was just a molten rock so what's the meaning of showing this value? It's not even theoretically possible that co2 could be that low baring alien life sucking the atmosphere off the planet.

Can you clarify why the scale should start at 0 for these things? How is that anywhere close to an honest representation?

China is not an expansionist imperial power as your comment seems to imply, quite the opposite, it always talks about how they have no intention to expand beyond its borders... but of course, it sees Taiwan as an internal affair (and most other countries in the world acknowledge it and accept its one-China policy). Taiwan was very much a part of China before the Japanese invaded it in 1895 [1] (though it had also been temporarily colonized by European powers before then), and again once the Japanese lost the war in 1945. Taiwan was then controlled by the Republic of China (ROC) "Party". When the civil war ended in 1949, the ROC lost to the Community party in mainland China and millions of its members fled to Taiwan[2] and hoped to later unify China with itself, but that obviously never happened. They continued to claim to be the legitimate government of all of China (and even parts of neighbouring countries), and apparently some of them still do!

From the Wikipedia article:

"The ROC was a founding member of the United Nations, and held the seat of China on the Security Council and other UN bodies until 1971, when it was expelled by Resolution 2758 and replaced with the PRC. Since 1993, the ROC has petitioned the UN for entry, but its applications have not made it past committee stage.[281][282] Due to the One China policy, most UN member states, including the United States, do not wish to discuss the issue of the ROC's political status for fear of souring diplomatic ties with the PRC."

I believe both sides actually want an eventual unification, Taiwan just doesn't want to lose all its autonomy and have a change of political system (it's a democracy, unlike mainland China).

This issue is really complicated.

In that case, we should report body temperature in Kelvin. However, now the dead-alive range (95degF - 107degF) becomes 308K to 315K.

Starting at zero, that range (17K) is now only 5% of the graph, assuming we start at zero. Or in other words, if your chart is 10cm tall, the entirety of the useful range is compressed into a space that is 5mm tall.

>email is a good example of something that won't so easily be "2nd-gen'd" because everything it's built on is here to stay

The key argument is that email is already getting "2nd-gen'd" -- but it's happening in bite-sized and incoherent steps that don't fully work.

Example of new 2024 DMARC/DKIM/SPF requirements from Google & Yahoo: https://www.google.com/search?q=yahoo+gmail+new+senders+dkim...

The above situation is acting like a pseudo-2nd-gen email standard that's evolving in slow motion (without us officially calling it "gen v2.0"). Those email policy changes will be adopted because big cloud email providers like Gmail and Yahoo have a massive influence on the entire email landscape.

Therefore, a new hypothetical "MX2" standard that was more coherent with better authentication, anti-spam, and anti-phishing features could be promoted by a consortium of Google/Microsoft/Yahoo/Apple. The smaller players like Fastmail, ProtonMail, Mailchimp, Sendgrid, etc and most everyone else would all have to follow the cloud email providers' lead because everybody wants to be able to send email to them.
