This article is just about Haskell. Jazz and pure math are far from hated. Even if many people can't play jazz, they can enjoy it. And let's be honest, nobody even knows what pure math is. Ask anyone who hasn't actually done pure math, and they will have no idea what pure math is. I know because I am a pure mathematician, and I've never met a single person who knows what pure mathematicians actually do.

Actually, let's be honest, there is hardly a soul that knows what Haskell is either. So hate is not really a great word for this title, nor is the use of jazz and pure math.

I mean it's familiar in the sense that it conforms to well-known cultural tropes about Japan. I'm not saying that all of these tropes are necessarily inaccurate, only that they're so well known that an analysis based solely on them feels a bit slapdash (even if it might still be correct). Japan is widely known as being a society with low crime, high trust, etc. etc. This isn't something only known by people who've lived in Japan for extended periods.

So no, I'm not at all surprised by your story about the wallet, and I don't think most people would be. (To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened in the US either – it's not like everyone in the US is a criminal and all unattended wallets reliably get stolen.)

Aging-related genomic culprit found in Alzheimer's disease
Looking at the most relevant questions of online games, I notice few answers and no concrete examples - it’s just “not at all” followed by what sounds like a teenager student trying to bluff their way through an assignment they didn’t read. The online gaming and licensing “answers” conspicuously read like they did not involve anyone with experience actually building or operating software applications.

The critical flaw in this proposal is the attempt not to “interfere with any business practices while a game is still being supported”. I have some professional involvement in software preservation and would love to see more things preserved, but that’s going to require changes to how games are developed and sunsetted. As a simple example, the incorrect “not at all” assertion at the beginning of the multiplayer answer is directly contradicted by the acknowledgement buried in the middle admitting that this would require the game to be designed for preservation from the beginning. That’s actually correct because it’s rare for someone to develop a game from scratch, which involves reusing tools and content which are not licensed under the same terms as the original game. You could, and arguably should, require games to be developed in a more sustainable manner avoiding dependencies which can’t be easily removed or replaced at end of life but that absolutely is a change in business practice. Similarly, game developers license engines, content, etc. under terms which have limits or activation fees and that would need some sort of interference in existing business practice to change – again, arguably a good thing to do but it needs to be upfront about it similar to how we can’t just say people should stop using single-use plastic packaging without doing something about the economic factors which make it widespread.

This is especially important when you remember that preservation is most useful when it’s easily accessible: if your game is preserved but that requires running a couple of nested emulators and some patches downloaded from one dude in Moldova, very few people are actually going to do so. What you really want is to keep the game buildable so it can run on normal operating systems and bugs & quality of life improvements can be made. For example, many multiplayer games in the past only supported IPv4 but there are a growing number of people in the world who only have IPv6 so it’d be good for long-term preservation to be able to add support but maintaining a build tool chain would really hammer the licensing issues.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a way to capture the effects of aging in the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

Agreed, CUDA is very different. But still, it's another example where programmers just write sequential single flow of execution code, and it gets executed in parallel according to "external" rules.
Yes, this is correct. But an ECI just requires that something happen from the Commission. In fact, revisions are basically expected if the Commission decides legislation is the path forward as past successful ECIs have demonstrated.
Hey they are inventing NAT. Nice.
Because most users of games don't really care for this. They are either too young, or to busy with other facets of life that they just want to play the game.

It is only a small percentage that are dedicated enough to care, either because they really enjoy the game or because they want to support game preservation.

If you make it opt-in, companies won't care to add it and they will only lose a few percentage points (I would be surprised for anything higher than 1%) of people that will be put off by the lack of "EOL support" guarantee.

“People also make mistakes” isn’t a good enough defense for a technology with this much hype and funding.
IMHO there are tests and there are tests. I had to work with codebases that had awful tests. They broke frequently because they were badly written. They used a lot of mocking when mocking was not appropriate. This tests were written for the purpose to have tests not for the purpose to really test the domain. I do not write tests for simple cases, like method in class A just delegates to method in class B.

For a one man show - go on do not write tests, especially if you do not know where you will end up with the software. But in teams I find a lot of value in (good written) tests, preventing bugs and documenting bugs. Sure you can over-engineer it, as everything else too.

BUT working without version control? Good that it works for you. I think version control is one of the MUST USE tools.

The younger generation in much of the world is looking at the most unaffordable housing market in generations. Anything that lowers the price of home ownership could possibly help them buy.

Unfortunately, as many from 2008 will tell you, a crash leading to more affordable housing and living for you only works if it crashes for everyone else but you manage to stay afloat (aka keep your job, and be relatively sure you won’t lose it at any moment). Otherwise you crash with the housing.
Well I'll be proudly labelled a "_____ denier" denier.

This pejorative term does nothing for anyone making any argument. It weakens your position because you're attempting to rely on emotions and psychology to make your case instead of... well, making your case!

It predictably has the reverse effect of your intention. Those who disbelieve you strengthen in their resolve because now not only do they disagree with you on a factual basis, but they also believe themselves to have been unfairly characterised in a pejorative way for their position. Dumb move, you had one obstacle, now you're made yourself have two.

If Christians went around calling Muslim's "Christ-deniers" instead of Muslims, how well do you think that would help tensions and resolution?

Somebody commented that they put their life savings in NVDA couple of months ago on some discussion here about AI. Their thesis was AI was going to replace us all so might as well own the top AI company.

I knew we were close to top when I saw that. But I do think this is creating buying opportunity for some other non bubble stocks that never recovered like NVDA did.
A solution to current day planner apps problems
Digital planners should help you structure your day, showing when tasks start and how long they take. Unlike paper planners, they need to be adaptable and dynamic—able to adjust task times and durations on the fly and see these changes reflected in the entire schedule.given that definition, let's talk about common problems I faced in modern day planners

1- Lazy User Experience

Most apps use a form-filling approach for day planning, which is tedious for ongoing adjustments. It usually involves multiple steps to edit a task: selecting the task, editing the time, and saving it. This back-and-forth process can be cumbersome and annoying. A well-designed planner should allow you to adjust the task time with one tap or drag and automatically update the rest of the schedule.

2- Not Native Apps

Many apps don't follow native platform UI/UX guidelines, making them feel awkward to use. Native development ensures smooth animations, intuitive gestures, and optimal performance. Planners should feel like an extension of your hand, easily adjustable with just one hand using single or double taps.

3- Limited Offline Functionality

Most planners require an internet connection, relying on external servers for functionality. This dependence causes delays and affects usability. Additionally, privacy concerns arise when data is stored on external servers. A good planner should be fully functional offline, giving instant feedback without annoying loading screens.

A solution

If you've read this far, then great! It looks like you share the same frustrations. This motivated me to build WillTimeFit app — a day planner for iOS with native performance and intuitive gestures. Try it and let me know your feedback if you have any!

Sure, makes sense. Then again, if a new kind of filter wastes more resources to do a such a monumentally worse job that not only doesn’t it protect you but actively helps the bad actors trying to harm you, that is worth criticising and bringing to light.

> they can enjoy it

I agree. This is a heavily vibes-based petition, seemingly designed to be emotive at the expense of clarity. Is it about DRM stopping games from working? MMOs being shut down? Live services dying?

In the best case scenario, this would be relatively narrowly targeted at something like DRM servers, requiring a final patch to strip DRM. What I fear is more likely to happen is that you end up with something with loopholes that causes many more games to go down the SimCity (the shitty version) route of faux online features to get them to fall into some sort of online-required carve-out. Or you end up with the GDPR route, where the big names will violate it anyways and just don't care about the penalties for doing so.
> The costs associated with implementing this requirement can be very small, if not trivial.

This is too naive. While it may be the case for single player games that use online connection only as a DRM mechanism (Hitman 3, Gran Turismo 7), for some games it's not trivial at all.

For example, The Division 2 servers do not only act as a "coordinator" between players like CS:GO servers, but also run logics for NPCs and environments. The server and the client are too tightly coupled.
Don't 'ate 'em, just don't like 'em.

Joking aside, 80% of the benefit of functional programming in practice, in my experience, comes from referential transparency, expression-based programming, and sum types. It's even fine to allow for procedural code inside of these referentially transparent functions. The effects these features have on program structure, logic flow, and data structures are profound enough that the benefit of IO monads and other more pure features have diminishing returns for the extra elbow grease that needs to be put in. It's also fine to break the rules in a number of cases you can hopefully count on one hand; stateful code needs to be isolated and well-understood.

I like Duolingo for the exact reasons you don't. I want to learn a language, and I will need to know the basics to be able to talk to people on my honeymoon next year. What you see as "nagging" I see as "holding me accountable to a goal I've set for myself."

I can definitely see why you'd want to be able to dial back the notifications, though.

On principle, I'd usually be on your side in this kind of situation. But again, for me, in this particular case, the nagging is a feature, not a nuisance. Besides, of all the things an app can nag you about, learning a language is pretty innocuous.

Fun fact: if you have a pi-hole, the only ad you'll ever get is their own ad promoting Super Duolingo. I'm assuming it's a video embedded in the app somewhere.

> I don’t want my taxes poured all over this
Your taxes are already poured all over things you don't care about, and things that are ridiculous expenses.

There's no incentive to keep a game alive after the server costs outlive the monthly income generated. Only a handful of games have been kept alive out of pure preservation or low cost (or in some cases, because the publishers just forgot about it).

Regulation might be necessary since in the last 8 years of gaming, less and less games have been able to be preserved. And we had had outrageous examples like, The Crew, where fans have been able to reverse engineer an analogue to Ubisoft's servers in less than a year. Ubisoft have no incentive, so maybe it is time they are forced to.

Here's a benchmarking exercise I found: https://www-staging.commandprompt.com/uploads/images/Command...

With a tidy summary:

> Any application with a high shared buffers hit ratio: little difference.
> Any application with a high ratio of reads/writes: little difference.
> Data logging application with a low ratio of reads/inserts, and few updates and deletes:
little difference.
> Application with an equal ratio of reads/inserts, or many updates or deletes, and a low
shared buffers hit ratio (for example, an ETL workload), especially where the rows are
scattered among disk pages: expect double or greater CPU and disk I/O use.
> Run pg_dump on a database where all rows have already been previously selected by
applications: little difference.
> Run pg_dump on a database with large quantities of rows inserted to insert-only tables:
expect roughly double CPU and disk I/O use.
I would wager that more than a few are climate deniers only because it's politically expedient. The Trump era of US politics has revealed how quickly many politicians will fall in line when necessary to retain their political power. I'm sure it's always been this way, but it's been painfully obvious the past few years with Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, etc... reversing course when it's clear not doing so will cost them their power.

The article you're using as support doesn't support the claim you're making; the guy _suspects_ the far left but going around posted about it as settled matter is inaccurate. We got tons of people on this forum that _suspect_ Russia should I go make a post saying Russia did it and link to them as proof?

Like, yay we got Sydney back! Everybody gets their own death threats. It's an open-weights wonderland. Why people think it's a good idea to reinstantiate the BPD AI I am afraid I will never understand.
False positives and unreliable/unpredictable behaviour is the future! We've decided that the power of unpredictable algorithms is more worth then reproducibility, and thats the path we're heading down now.

Just a small example: Cook announced a year ago or so during a typical "whats new" apple presentation that AirPlay would use "AI" to figure out what AirPlay targets you actually use most often. Now, that I see the feature in action, I am pretty pissed, because all it does is reorder the AirPlay target list, and put the one I used last on top. However, that is not consistent. So in 2 of 10 cases, it goes back to alphabetically ordering the targets.

So all that "AI" did for me is to make the ordering of my UI elements unpredictable.

Thats just a small example of UX. But I fee this is out future.
