This is an accurate read of my statements. I am not trying to impose anything on anyone, but I also don't want to be imposed upon. I have worked very hard to be able to afford to live in a gated community and put my kids in private school, explicitly so my family won't be exposed to the social ills that are commonplace among the lower class. There is absolutely no reason why "affordable housing" needs to go in my neighborhood, and it's not about "property values" in the abstract like the comment I replied to, it's about the property values in the more concrete sense of what it means to move to a neighborhood and the be able to afford to live in a place that gets you away from poor people problems.

I think most of the people replying to me have never been truly poor and they have no concept of what that actually means. They've never been woken up at 2AM by a blood curdling scream and a thunk as their neighbor beats their wife to death in a drunken rage. They've never seen a dead body bloated in the sun at the bus stop they have to stand at to get home from school. They've never watched the lights go out in someone's eyes as the OD on the sidewalk. The prettiest girl at their high school didn't start stripping before graduation to pay for the drug habit her mom got her started on. 3 out of the 5 people in their school friends group didn't end up dead before they were 22 years old.

My family will never experience any of these things, because I busted my ass to make sure they never experience any of those things. Imposing the horrors (some self-inflicted, some not) of the lower class on my family to position "affordable housing" in my neighborhood is a violent act, and one which any decent person will contest. If that makes me a NIMBY, then so be it, but I don't want "affordable housing" anywhere near me. I've been in "affordable housing", I know what happens there, and it's not what some ivory tower academic thinks happens there. You don't learn about this stuff in a whitepaper, you learn about it from experience, and those are experiences I won't let my family have.

Also, the word "segregation" is not inherently a bad word, and it doesn't automatically mean anything about anyone's immutable characteristics. Economics are not immutable. I'm a dropout from a town that had documentaries made about it due to how bad its drug problem is and I am in the top 2% of Americans economically now. Economic mobility in the US far exceeds that in the rest of the world, which does not in any way excuse our problems or say that we shouldn't fix them, but dragging down those who struggle and succeed is not how we get there.
I'm fully aware of that.

Exception usability is definitely an area that needs work. If you work support for a dev platform for a while, it's a really common experience that people will post questions with a copy/pasted stack trace where the message+stack actually answers their question. You can just copy/paste parts back to them and they're happy. There's too much information and not enough tools to digest/simplify them and people get overwhelmed.

Still, better to have too much data than too little.
> I wonder if you exclude "recalls" resolved by software updates, for all cars, where it would rank then?

That depends, are you also going to exclude recalls for other cars, like one I got last year, "Please insert this piece of paper between page 129 and 130 of your owner's manual. It contains supplemental information about the operation of a vehicle system"?

Or will only CyberTruck get this special treatment?
> But this article is written in a way that suggests that encryption is dangerous - an angle that the CBC has taken before - which makes sense considering that it is a government-owned news outlet in a Five Eyes member state.

While neither of these points is completely incorrect, that is a heck of a connection to make without evidence.

That's a pretty cynical view....besides, big companies would take months/years to to copy an idea - even if it's a good one - and by then the market has moved.
Besides a dice that's as even as possible, the other requirement this solution attempts to satisfy is using the minimum number of cuts. A blender doesn't satisfy that, as it's making hundreds of cuts.

Then, when you present your solution to the client, you find out there was a third, unspoken requirement: that it should involve as little cleanup as possible, which the blender also doesn't satisfy. The user researcher was on vacation, and you didn't find out about this before beginning design. Damn!

The blender solution turns out to be overoptimized on a single requirement at the expense of the others.
I just quoted the part where the Redis representative describes a private call. How does the content of the emails negate that?

> That quote even says they're not looking to take action over the trademark.

Yeah, he’s basically saying „also, we think you’re infringing but we won’t have to enforce that, right? I’m sure we can come to an agreement, wink wink“.

Maybe I’m reading this completely wrong but this reminder is basically a threat to sue you to death if you don’t comply.
The article is extremely vague on how they did this. The one big red flag though is that the protocol for the messenger in the article was a bespoke secret design by a single person who wasn't a cryptographer and not a well vetted public one.

I would love to see a technical analysis of the supposed end-to-end encryption methodology used here.

Answer: they need to be open to hearing it first, and you need to be someone they trust.

How to build trust? Make it clear you are on their 'side'.

Luckily giving feedback can be that way:

- Give any positive feedback publicly

- Give any negative feedback privately

- Rather than give negative feedback, come with concrete things that could be done to improve things. Try not to assign blame.

Do this consistently while being good at your job and they are more likely to not misinterpret your opinions as rationalization
Run valgrind on any large successful code base and you will find tons of memory corruption. It just happens to occur in places where it does not matter.
I'm in no way affiliated with this project, I just think it's neat... Seems like a good alternative for projects that are built on MongoDB but don't like what the company behind it is doing these days...
So the starting point is you want the JVM/Java interop, if you don't want the JVM find something else.

From there you have Java, Scala, and Kotlin as primary choices.

Up until 2020 java didn't have pattern matching or records, and kotlin still doesn't have a full implementation.

Scala offers an ecosystem where its very easy to build a robust type system, supporting clear co and contravariance and clear control flow due to pattern matching.

On top of that scala's compiler plugin ecosystem is quite good and it allows large organizations to abstract away a lot of busy work to dedicated internal teams. This is used extensively in large scala codebases I have seen.

Scala is a fantastic language for core business technology, in fact thats probably the single thing its best at. Its why the largest code bases I know of are in financial institutions.

DX/tooling is a valid point, but the large scala codebases that exist within orgs have their own tooling that solves this, at least old twitter and the financial institutions do.

So to answer your question, why would someone choose scala in a business sense. Any JVM project built between like 2009-2019 had a compelling reason to choose scala over the other options and maintains those advantages though other languages have implemented most of the key features so the gap is much smaller.
I'm surprised Kenji still does the horizontal cut at all. With the angled vertical cuts I find the horizontal cut entirely unnecessary. (Also a few years back I gave myself a nice flap avulsion doing the horizontal cut in an onion...)

The point you make here is exactly why I often prefer to watch *anime. I think it also applies to my preferences for British period pieces.

As an American, British period pieces[0][1][2] obviously present a different world. I imagine they are more palatable to someone in my demographic because we are relatively disconnected from British culture, society, and history. Recently I became aware of the UK's New Man / New Lad gender stereotypes[3] and realized that the main characters of these shows fit. As a result of this awareness, I can no longer enjoy these shows without being reminded of cultural conflicts of the present day. A story about a social issue set in the 1960s used to be just that, but now it's more apparent to me that the narratives are meant to shape present-day perception of these issues.

It was nice not being reminded of the political struggles we face on a daily basis. Now I'm unsure if media consumers who lack this awareness are the lucky ones or the sheep. I wonder if British people have always felt this way about these shows and I'm only just catching up now. I also wonder if this dynamic is mutual with other cultures - for example, is Rings of Power considered non-controversial in SE Asia due to the cultural disconnect?

* My preference for anime has waned as certain tropes have become quite overused and tiresome.

There are a lot of people who seem to think that zero-sum economics is how businesses work when it couldn’t be farther from the truth.

For example, if I open a bar downtown it may attract 100 customers. But if two entrepreneurs open two bars next to each other, they might attract 300 customers between them. The same can apply to entire market segments.
I was putting a lot of thought into this just yesterday, talking with some friends about the "Thing: Japan" phenomenon

It's important to recognize that any discussion about Japanese media outside of Japan is more or less only receiving the media that Japan is exporting to the world. Yes there are exceptions to this, people going out of their way to fan sub shows and such, but for the majority of Western people who are experiencing Japanese media it is very mainstream popular stuff like Studio Ghibli films and the most popular anime

With that said, I think the approach Japan has towards making media is very different than Western studios, especially when it comes to depictions of real world Japan

American TV and writing is very cynical about America. Consider the common depictions of rural America in most American media (rednecks, racist, boring, dirty) to the common depictions of rural Japan in Japanese media (idyllic, colorful, spiritual, friendly)

Even compare how a fictional Japanese city is depicted in the Yakuza game series (where you play a criminal doing crimes) and how a fictional American city is depicted in the Grand Theft Auto series (where you play a criminal doing crimes)

I really think Japanese creators like Japan more than American creators like America, and it shows through their work by smoothing over a lot of the rough edges of Japanese society

UN voting patterns. e.g. In the 1990s General Assembly it was far from certain that the US would lose most of the contenious ones involving the US, every year, except maybe the annual Cuba vote.

Whereas in 2023-2024, well you can check yourself. A lot of the time even countries like Norway or Ireland or Mexico vote against the US.
Ok, you mean on the US...

Keep in mind that the US government (like almost the entire world) has control of inflation, and through more means than you will think of.

Anyway, all of those are real factors, but inflation is a monetary phenomenon. Those two don't need to have any kind of correlation.

Personally, I have not follow US news closely enough to understand what Trump wants to do with monetary policy.

Forbes, a name that probably makes people think about business articles, has been publishing all sorts of non-business pieces and they did extremely well on SEO because the domain has a lot of authority and inbound links.

So well that basically people were speculating the SEO part would take over the more traditional business.

Google caught up recently (as in a few weeks ago) and has heavily punished their ranks.

Ironically if you search Google for “Forbes SEO” you’ll find many articles about what happened. I think it all started with something titled “The parasitic company trying to take over Forbes”
Amazing! My dad dragged me to the Cyberia cafe at a trip to London in 1995. It wasn't amazing compared to the LAN parties in Sweden I had experience from but in hindsight I realize it was something.

Yet the CSR will be able to adequately pronounce a romanized ASCII-only version of the chinese name. And that's an entirely reasonable thing to do for western organizations and governments just like you might need to get a chinese name to interact with the chinese bureaucracy.
Yes it was like this for Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook. The difference is that at that time the genius youngster (which is just the son of some already successful people) creating startups were cool. Now nobody wants to make or watch a movie about Sam Altman and OpenAI.

One of the features the phones had was that they could be remotely deleted and were locked down to prevent other apps on them. So an off the shelf iphone with signal is going to be vulnerable to having the device itself hacked via text message, bluetooth, or something else in a way the Sky ECC phones theoretically can't be, so it's not necessarily a slam dunk.

Perfection might be imperfect.

I’m reminded of Pythagorean philosophies of harmony that quickly reveal the imperfections inherent to math, ie right triangle with two sides of one unit producing square root of two or Pythagorean tuning which is so perfect it is imperfect (eg the wolf fifth)
Its tough to find the right balance in online communities that rely on volunteer moderation. There is community moderation drama on Stack Overflow, Wikipedia, reddit, etc pretty frequently.

Sometimes moderators overstep or apply rules unequally. It is essentially a random group of people deciding what the site's values mean to them, with the power to enact their will.

But it does seem to work. Stack Overflow, Wikipedia, and Reddit have found massive success in large part to the work of the volunteer moderation. I have no doubt each of the communities would be significantly worse off without the collective thousands of hours of thankless moderation work done by volunteers.
This is patently wrong and it's the sort of thinking that still causes inconvenience to people using non-ASCII languages, years after it's technically justifiable.

The most typical problem scenario is getting some package or document with names transformed to ASCII and then being unable to actually receive the package or use the document because the name isn't your name. Especially when a third party is involved that doesn't speak the language that got mangled either.

Åke Källström is not the same name as Ake Kallstrom. Domestically the latter just looks stupid but then you get a hotel booking with that name, submit it as part of your visa application and the consulate says it's invalid because that's not your name.

Or when Rūta Lāse gets some foreign document or certificate, nobody in her country treats is authentic because the name written is Ruta Lase, which is also a valid and existing name - but a different one. She ends up having to request another document that establishes the original one is issued to her, and paying for an apostille on that so the original ASCII document is usable. While most languages have a standard way of changing arbitrary text to ASCII, the conversion function is often not bijective even for Latin-based alphabets.

These are real examples of real problems people still encounter because lots of English-speaking developers insist everyone should deal with an ASCII-fied version of their language. In the past I could certainly understand the technical difficulties, but we're some 20-25 years past the point where common software got good Unicode support. ASCII is no longer the only simple solution.

Why would he not post about his own banishment over such BS?

Not a word about the insanity expressed in that blog though, huh? Perhaps that is why the dude is being harassed over basic English words all of a sudden? It seems to me that this Andrew fellow is not the one starting drama, and he's refusing to be bullied by people who are dealing in rumors and inventing new thought crimes to charge him with.
