Not quite. You will have to pay for endless freeways and you can pay for a subway system on top. You see, even in the most European and sophisticated cities in the world they don't have cargo subways. All the shops need stuff to sell delivered and apartment buildings need trash taken away. The building construction needs materials. Building maintenance needs things like appliances and big HVAC parts taken out or put in. Etc. etc.

None of this works with subway. Subways are for people without much luggage (statistically, I am sure someone here will destroy me with facts how he hauled a sofa and a refrigerator on subway in Amsterdam and has not broken a sweat). You still need roads for cargo and using them for people too seems pretty straightforward and rational to me. If my city was flooded with money and everything else was in top shape (roads, parks, schools, utilities, police) then and only then I would not mind spending money on transit.

The State department isn’t collecting it for random reasons or for use as an identifier. It collects it for diplomatic purposes. So it is limited for a specific purpose.

Character is the last thing to expect from these people. The Democrats grew at least a vertebrae after George Clooney told them off. George Clooney for President.

My Pooh brain, especially today, goes into cognitive overload trying to keep track of an invisible point in a character based text editor.

Line editors are much less of a problem. In these I typically did not insert text in the middle of a line, I simply changed/substituted text in the middle of the line. This helps maintain context in contrast to moving a point around.

Fortunately, my TECO exposure was mostly tempered through VTedit, a screen oriented macro set for TECO on the PDP. Couldn’t escape it completely, but it helped reduce the load in my challenged, tiny brain.

The UX of LinkedIn may be bad, but it isn't remotely as horrible as the UX of Facebook.
Thanks to globalization people have more choice in the environments they live in and change environments with much more ease than in the past. While talking about relationships the focus naturally goes to individuals, it should be recognized that growth in relationships on top of ever changing environments gets much more tricky.

Transport, Communication, Finance, Info networks have all changed drastically from the past.

And the sociologists have been pointing that out for a long time now.
Check out

Its a complex ever changing world out there. Coevolution requires a bit of stablity in the environments. Focus should not just be on what individuals are doing for each other but on how they shape the environment around them in ways that makes such things more possible.
Well. I have multiple LinkedIn profiles, a regular one where I list my job history, current company I'm working for, education, achievements etc. I check it from time to time and it's useful like every 5-10 years when I change jobs :)

And a "hustle" account where I promote my website and eventually RIA (registered investment advisor) business. Quantitative finance and trading tutorials on the website, proprietary strategies on the RIA: https://www.aquarianz.com/

Why two accounts? First, I don't particularly want employers to find about my hustle (although I don't particularly care) but mostly, I did got my hustle account suspended. Maybe someone didn't like what I said and ratted me, maybe LinkedIn algorithm marked me as spam, I dunno. I did manage to get my account reinstated but yeah, I don't don't wanna lose my "putting bread on the table" account.
While the difficulty of achieving single logout (SLO) is interesting technically, we can zoom out a bit and see that SLO died because all web logout processes are pointless given how screen lock and user switching have become ubiquitous. It hasn't always been the case, but it is now. If you're letting someone use your OS session, they can auto-fill passwords from your password manager, maybe install a keylogger, who knows what else. You must lock your OS session, at which point you can keep web sessions logged in.

> The whole point of async/await is to allow for not blocking the caller though until it's ready for an explicit synchronization point.

That is an end not a mean.

Again in my experience the vast majority of devs could not give less of a shit about “not blocking the caller” by default. What most devs want is a reasonably cheap way to get a high amount of concurrency.

If anything not blocking the caller by default is generally an error, because somebody forgot an await.

> If you are blocking the caller you have not "solved" the colored function "problem".

Of course you have: you have solved the actual problem that needs solving without using function colouring. That’s how e.g. Go works. Go has problems up the ass but it doesn’t have that one at least.

Java is also moving back to Userland threads rather than towards async/await.

Humanity is so fortunate this "guardrails" mentality didn't catch on when we started publishing books. While too close for comfort, we got twice lucky that computing wasn't hampered by this mentality either.

This time, humanity narrowly averted complete disaster thanks to the huge efforts and resources of a small number of people.

I wonder if we are witnessing humanity's the end of open knowledge and compute (at least until we pass through a neo dark ages and reach the next age of enlightenment).

Whether it'll be due to profit or control, it looks like humanity is posed to get fucked.

(I also teach a bunch of software engineering best practices to folks who claim they don't want to be "software engineers".)

My experience is that with training, many of these issues go away. Just saw this again firsthand at a client last week.

My current take is that many focus on making the code newbie friendly. I think they should level up and start writing code for a professional audience, using software techniques that a professional would use. Newbies won't like this code.

I get a lot of flak on social when I post this from naysayers, but the overwhelming response from my students and those who have read my books indicates there might be something to this.

Using promises is basically no different than using async functions, and definitely doesn't "uncolor" your functions.

Any function that calls another that returns a Promise will have to return a Promise to represent completion correctly. That's the color.
> How is what you propose different than registrars setting different fees for different domains?

Under what I propose, people using or squatting a popular domain that lots of people want would pay more, and people using an obscure domain no-one cares about would pay less. That would be more equitable.

> Or: What entity should be entitled to the tax, and why?

It's a Pigovian tax, so it has a positive effect even if you burn the proceeds. In an imaginary ideal world I'd put them in a kind of sovereign wealth fund for all humanity, that every natural person was equally entitled to, because no-one owns the word "milk" and everyone on Earth (other than the one person who does get to use the domain) is equally deprived by not being able to use the domain for their own website. In practice, using it to run internet infrastructure or putting it into general UN/government coffers would be fine.

Which has to do with the incredible lack of expressivity of Go, not with the concurrency model. Nothing precludes doing exactly the same thing with thread-like constructs in an expressive language.

> I don't know if I per-se agree with defaulting to zero in all instances, but I agree with a somewhat general sentiment

I agree with this. Forcing every instance to be 0 might hide the issue as 0 could be a valid if unexpected result in situations which might make debugging more difficult. The same reason === is a thing. NaN seems plausible yet equally awkward. Null could work too
If the DEA knows you are about to board a plane back to Columbia with copious amounts of cash after a 24 hour vacation to the States, it's questionable if it's really "your money".

The three options are (a) the feds hold the cash until its origin is found to be legit, (b) they hold the person until the cash is verified legit, (c) the suitcase of cash and the person fly away never to be seen again.

I guess the 4th option would be making it much easier and faster for the DEA to obtain a warrant; but this just leads back to a, b, or c.

n.b. I am totally against local cops holding any amount of discovered money during random searches. That's a huge conflict if interest. I'm mainly commenting on the original post.
Shortcuts is Apple's block based programming language for automating stuff between apps. Pretty barebones but still useful. Just so you get an idea of how limited it is, the only way to emulate a normal function is to recursively call the entire program with different input parameters and skip down to the right region of code.

Complications are just the little informational widgets on Apple Watch faces. Just like on normal watches.

The thing is, "incorrect" implies the existence of a static "correct". Which I interpret as a static spec which a microcode bug violated and could be fixed back to that static spec with a simple microcode update.

I do find your suggested scenario to be very plausible. That Intel have discovered their original voltage algorithm was flawed, leading to instability. And it is very feasible that simply updating the microcode is the correct fix for such an issue.

If Intel had explicitly stated that the original voltage algorithm spec was wrong, and the new one fixes the issue, I'd be pretty willing to believe them, and probably wouldn't have written that comment.

I'm not saying your integration of "incorrect voltage" as meaning "voltage that we now know causes instability" is wrong. It's an ambiguous statement and either interpretation is valid. But I have experience working with PR people, they know how to avoid ambiguous statements.

PR people are also experts at using ambiguous statements to their advantage. Crafting statements where not only are there multiple possible interoperation, but statements where the average reader will tend to interpret in the best possible way. I have experience in helping PR people to craft such statements. There are a few other examples of "ambitious statements" in that statement, which leads me to question the honesty of the whole thing.

Ummm, what? If you look at luxury segment where price is not a question - sure.

The one encounter with the DEA agent reminds me of cheap, sleazy, sales tactics used at car dealerships. High pressure tactics to force an action.

> And, it absolutely should not require creating two identical function definitions to get around the function coloring problem - that's completely indefensible.

This is very rarely necessary in app code. It's usually only a pattern for higher-level utility functions, and even then if you really wanted to you could unify implementations with generators.
"Because Pnut can be distributed as a human-readable shell script (`pnut.sh`), it can serve as the basis for a reproducible build system. With a POSIX compliant shell, `pnut.sh` is sufficiently powerful to compile itself and, with some effort, [TCC](https://bellard.org/tcc/). Because TCC can be used to bootstrap GCC, this makes it possible to bootstrap a fully featured build toolchain from only human-readable source files and a POSIX shell.

Because Pnut doesn't support certain C features used in TCC, Pnut features a native code backend that supports a larger subset of C99. We call this compiler `pnut-exe`, and it can be compiled using `pnut.sh`. This makes it possible to compile `pnut-exe.c` using `pnut.sh`, and then compile TCC, all from a POSIX shell."

Anywhere we can see a step-by-step demo of this process.

Curious if the authors tried NetBSD or OpenBSD, or using another small C compiler, e.g., pcc.

Historically, tcc was problematic for NetBSD and its forks. Not sure about today, but tcc is still in NetBSD pkgsrc WIP which suggests problems remain.

The only way the IDE can tell you is if the language tells it, or it guesses - and if it guesses then it will get it wrong sometimes.
