The basic (pre-category theory) idea is instead of making up new weird math just for logical purposes, start thinking more abstractly and using "regular" math concepts. The section says "models" but it should work for syntax too not just semantics (the syntax is the "initial" semantics).

Category theory takes all that order/lattice stuff and generalizes it in the same way programming generalizes logic ("whether" true/false to "which" inhabitant of a type). So it is definitely useful for people trying to explore the space of programming language designs.

The reason category theory might be useful to "regular programmers" not programming language designers, basically boils down to the belief that programming and language design are not so different after all. I can't really argue that explicitly, but think "where does designing a library interface end, and designing a domain-specific language being?". That's the basic idea.
I can attest that my greatest periods of personal growth came during times of greatest discomfort. My first job out of college was at a small IT consulting company where I managed the data center. This gave me complete access to the VMware cluster, the SAN storage array, every Cisco switch, router, and firewall, and root access to every VM running. I could create a LUN on the storage array, a VLAN on the switches, a subinterface on the router or firewall, a VM portgroup on VCenter, and a VM using all of them. It was incredibly stressful at first but I learned a ridiculous amount.
Kind of like mail fraud here & USPS.

If the fraud involved any form of mail (checks, documents, etc) postal inspector seem to get involved.

Or us secret service with finance crimes.
Yeah, thats a big problem with shows that work really well with the music, like Scrubs. I'm glad we have piracy to be able to keep the original works with the intended tracks intact.
Here is an argument against the CD. We know that DNA changes overtime due indirectly from environmental conditions through evolutionary natural selection. So, why is this not an argument for the reversed direction of information?
What is the difference between the free and the monthly subscription tier?
No, the problem is that the command elevates privileges. Installing and running software should not be an admin-level operation, because its blast radius should be limited to data under the user account (at worst). Flatpak and other sandboxing technologies solves this for the most part.
I stand corrected.

That said, at the time of Grant's writing copyright in the US was 28 years (with an optional extension for another 14 if the author lived long enough), which means that OP's proposal of 25 years would likely have been sufficient to motivate Grant.
Just need to DoS the revocation server right before your digital signature is checked.
I didn’t say don’t use libraries at all. There’s a wide spectrum between rolling your own everything and putting a massive abstraction layer framework between you and the platform.
Packaging is pretty easy if you want to stick to a single ecosystem. If you're a Red Hat shop and you're only interested in deploying your stuff on RHEL, then rpms are easy to build. Use the system deps where appropriate, ship your own when not.

The packaging story falls apart when you want to ship software to customers running god-knows-what.
I think the answer is that is not nearly as convenient as original service providers would claim it is. I am in US and we just went through a crazy period of everyone and their mother trying to start their own streaming service. Good portion went under, some consolidated, but the market fragmentation leading to actual content you want to see being spread across multiple services is an annoyance.

I will provide a concrete example. My buddy got into anime and was raving about one specific title so I checked Hulu for it, but Hulu, for some unfathomable reason starts that anime at season 4.. If I want to legally Stream season one, I would need to try the Sony owned anime thing, which I refuse to do for reasons not related to streaming wars. I ended up buying a dvd ( cheap and good enough quality for me ).

And pirates... have everything and, unless you are looking for newest releases, is of superior quality.
Kinda like how every reporter/correspondent is “senior”…
Even if it was taken down completely it will likely be replaced by a clone in very short order to take advantage of the established customers. All the big streaming pirate sites have a million splinter sites with similar but slightly different URLs.
Yeah, I don't think they read the whole article.

'while it's true they almost certainly do not "corrupt your DNA"' I second this
No-- GPS is safe, but they're up in MEO, not GEO.

’Brain rot‘ named Oxford Word of the Year 2024
Yes, but it's much, muvh faster and more productivr to just learn Haskell's type system (mainly Functors, Monads and Applicatives) as 3 individual "design patterns" than it is to figure it how you can even begin to apply the Yoneda Lemma to whatever programing problem you have in front of you.

Category Theory has birthed some useful abstraction, but you don't really need any of CT to learn and use the abstractions.

The basics of Abstract Algebra on the otherhand are absolutely worth the bit of time it takes to learn them.

Groups, semi-groups, rings, fields, monoids - distribution, identity, zeros, associstivity, communitavity are pretty trivia to learn - most people already know the underlying concepts and they pop up all the time in programing.

Monoids are incredibly useful - most people already know them, and intuitively use them, but it's helpful naming and understanding the pattern.

Category Therory just doesn't have the same return on investment for software development.
agree about "closed and common orbit", I really thought that one was going to pull off a hugo-and-nebula when I read it.

btw, even if you bounced off murderbot I would say check out wells's earlier fantasy novels, especially the books of the raksura.
> The industry has come a long way in the intervening 30 years.

Didn't Intel screw up design recently? Oxidation and degradation of ring bus IIRC.
Yes I believe so. Probably in the region of €150 a year for everything and you can watch in up to 5 devices.

The result here seems a bit like what I imagine "Audio Description" for visual media would read like as a transcript. Maybe it would work better if the model was trained on novels, rather than a more general corpus?
The 25 year requirement isn't a panacea, because deorbit mechanisms are not going to be perfectly reliable decades after launch. They increase the number of satellites you can fly somewhat.
thanks for the "half built garden" rec, I hadn't come across that one!
I wonder if they know it and have been ramping up their marketing budget reactively.

I'm getting blasted with their ads everywhere. Reddit, X, Youtube and Twitch.

It's crazy I've never seen so many ads from Apple before.
Another reading would see this "lawfare" narrative as a device to fool the citizenry. Both sides know they will get pardoned but by having "lawfare" give the impression (to the impressionable and propagandized public) that we do not have in this nation a ruling class that protects its own and does as it pleases.
Solve hard problems on your own… it’s the only way…
Definitely try as an older person!

I have similar experiences and sentiments myself. One difference is I was into Apple and Atari computers, but that does not seem to matter all that much.

As a younger person, I did demos and explored the tech plenty without actually building finished applications and or games.

Learned a ton! And had major league fun. Great times filled with bits of understanding I draw on all the time.

And YES! Good grief, the pixels are dancing in ways nobody would have predicted back then.

When I hop on the machines today I find them simpler than I remember and fun to program.
> Multi-language codebases

This is where I use them. I have some Rust bindings to C++ code, and that C++ code lives in my repo as a submodule. Everyone seems to hate submodules I guess because of the surprising behavior described in the post, but for my use case they've been completely fine.

Back in the 90s we were told ostentatiously to include "unauthorised access is not permitted" to the login prompt.

Why? Because the login prompt said "please login:" and this was being read by some bush lawyer as an invitation to connect, and therefore would impede a case if we had a hacker login with a stolen password.

I think it was founded on urban myth, but I assure you this is what we were told to do: add text to make it plain, the invitation was to legitemate users only.

I felt the sudo warning was in the same spirit.
Upvoting for Pick mention.
One person involved in the project got tired of the ongoing obnoxious behavior of a few kernel developers (as partially documented in that mail), and decided to move on. That's a sad outcome, and reflects badly on the kernel developers in question. It doesn't reflect a maintainability issue with the Rust for Linux project (which has quite a few developers and many more contributors), except insofar as it continues to be an occupational hazard of participating in the Linux kernel community that you end up dealing with some number of obnoxious people.
Awesome as FP&P is, I still think there is a gap in the market for a stats book for non technical students.

I have a mental image of a Tufte-like book that aims to profoundly sharpen the students' BS-detector. That is, teach the student by deliberately showing broken things, and then guide the reader: can they spot how things are broken? What might they try to fix first? How might these fixes themselves have flaws? How might people try to hide issues? And so on.

Its my assertion that non technical people have, or can be trained to have, excellent BS detection skills even if they dont speak the mathematical languages.

The worst outcome, one we have today, is that those students are dazzled and confused by the mathematical discourse, but believe they have to obey, so they end up believing in a formulaic Statistics God that is fed p values and other detritus and spits out Insight in return: when in fact, it does nothing of the sort.
The proteins don't directly change the DNA via information transfer, that's not how natural selection works.
> If Rust was actually better, it would flow into the ground organically.

This is plainly untrue. People don’t like change even if change is for the better. I’m not saying Rust is better than C, only that you’re completely incorrect about better things winning.
I'll never understand why more devs don't learn Excel. Yeah, it's ugly. It's also the only thing you know you can use to develop a tool, slap one file into an email, send it to whoever needs the tool, and they'll immediately know exactly how to open it and use it. No 5-step lists of instructions, no dependency hell, no need to subvert the IT department. Excel is the lowest-friction platform for developing internal tools, period.
Agreed. I think lifetime of the author, or moderate fixed term in the case of untimely death or corporate copyright, is perfectly reasonable. 10-20 years is way too short, it does not give enough consideration to the author's rights.
Learn Chinese.

It's traditionally written right-to-left, top-to-bottom.
That number is probably a fantasy, likely an estimate based one the ‘damage’ and ‘lost income’ per stream from people who were probably never going to pay for it anyway.

The film industry is important. It employs millions of people in direct and indirect ways. Yes it’s a business and needs to turn a profit for shareholders, and salaries of people in that industry also pay their mortgages and put food on the table etc.
There are 15+ films released every week. Go see one in the cinema, or rent it and your enjoyment helps sow the seed for more content in future. Without it you’re stuck with YouTube influencers and grifters.

> whats the strong anti-semitic quality in "undefined behaviour" as a modern trigger term?

The issue is not "undefined behavior", but the other words in the title.

A title of the form "The _____ Question" will for some bring to mind the antisemitic polemics written around "The Jewish Question". That the article is concerned with ways to minimize or eliminate _____ only compounds the matter.
I used to think promotions always included pay raises…

Yet twice I received none. But was put on harder expectations for bonuses.

Hope to be never promoted again!
> Makes me wonder what the real common discourse was of looms during the industrial revolution, and not just the modern summary of that era.

Interesting question. I did a little searching with help from Claude, ChatGPT, Google, and the Internet Archive. Here are some links to writings from that time:

“Thoughts on the use of machines, in the cotton manufacture” (1780)

https://archive.org/details/bim_eighteenth-century_thoughts-...

Excerpt: “How many writers and copiers of books were thrown out of employment, or obliged to change it, by the introduction of printing presses? About ten years ago, when the Spinning Jennies came up, old persons, children, and those who could not easily learn to use the new machines, did suffer, for a while; till families had learned to play into one another's hands, by each taking a different kind of work. But the general benefit, which was received from the machines, very soon silenced all objections. And every sensible man now looks upon them with gratitude and approbation. It is probable, this will be the case in all new inventions.”

Well now that everyone knows about it, its a whole lot less bad.

The bad certificate was caught, and caught quickly. The system works.

It is a bit like if airport security catches someone who wanted to bomb a plane. Yes the immediate gut reaction is that is terrible, but if you think about it for a bit its actually reassuring, since its proof the safe guards worked.
I commend them for standing against this bullshit. I don't think I would have the moral fiber to do that. I would have changed the title and went on with my day.

not a biologist, but if we have a bunch of redundant dna (aka genes) that get activated/deactivated based on our environment, would that "state" be transferred to children? or do children get a blank slate of parental dna?

also, what causes genes to activate or deactivate? if proteins have any impact on this then there is information flow in the reverse direction, no?
godspeed to you with your product, I hope you become a billionaire. I personally would never set foot in a workplace where I need anonymous feedback on team morale… if a team needs your product they have already failed miserably as a team
If it's /seen/ as a laundering tool, it's no longer a laundering tool.
So this is about money mules, not actual traffickers.
I was member of a student union at my university, for people interested in computers.

We had desktop computers and servers that belonged to the student union, and member students would eventually be granted sudo privileges if they had a reason to need it.

When they gave me and my friends sudo privileges they told us basically the sudo lecture. Use it for good, don’t snoop in other students files, and be careful to not break stuff. They even had a real-life story of their own, about one past member that was kicked out of the union because he had used his sudo privileges to read solutions to an assignment from the home directory of another member!

This wasn’t even that long ago. Around 2010.

It was a nice student union.
I don't understand the analogy. We don't continue to pay authors after we buy their book. We do pay construction companies again if we want a second house - even if the design is the same.

Probably floorplans would be a closer comparison - and I believe they are licensed IP?
While I personally wouldn't find it a ton of fun to solve the puzzles that way, that's pretty cool. Nice work.

Is there a place where you're blogging this or at least aggregating the links so we can see how far you get with it as the puzzles get more challenging?
Not directly, but in a very long round about way they do. Like if I have a mutation that is evolutionarily positive, the only way that helps me pass on my DNA is through the expression of the proteins, without them I could not do anything. The proteins, and their interactions with the environment, creates new information that indirectly results in a evolutionary pressure on the DNA and at a population level can change it.

How can DNA 'get' more information if not from the proteins interactions with its environment?
Really? Macquarie got it right by choosing "enshittification" instead.

Article is more like, low code is only good for the most simple of simple apps. And this MUST NEVER CHANGE, the second it changes, or isn't how the low code platform is designed for. Basically it's a massive and near impossible hack job.
In Eastern Europe, Bolt is absolutely fantastic and super cheap. They have not gone public yet, and I assume it will end up the exact same way.
maybe now they'll spend money thinking about what to produce, instead of producing tons of slop, most of which is not viewed by anybody.
I know that they don’t literally mean a single word, but it got me thinking: is a space ever a valid character in a word? I’m guessing no, because that’s fundamentally how languages separate tokens

However, while I’m no language person, I have wallowed in unicode enough times to recognize that the “rules” of language are so wild and varying and riddled with exceptions that basically anything is possible.

> Routing: react router (not very good imo but widely accepted and good enough)

Unnecessarily complicated and confusing, with odd choices in the most recent version (that IIRC are not backwards compatible). I went with wouter after searching around.

> state: No libraries. Just use “useState” and if necessary “useReducer”

useState is the same thing as the old setState, and useReducer not much different - they're not sufficient for building an app because you just revert back to the original state antipattern, prop drilling.
and yet theres still no game
The entire point of a CA is to verify public keys. If the certificate owner already has a verified public key (to sign the certificate with), there would be no need for a CA.
To answer the second question, the Central Dogma is interested in permanent changes at each stage, so the proteins can change the way DNA is expressed, but it cannot change the DNA sequence itself.
Wouldn't that also apply to Perplexity.AI?
This goes to show people are sick of having to buy 5-10 services just to see all their things, they'd rather get a single pirate stream with them all. Just if you watch US football, you have to subscribe to no less than 5 services to get them all, and international sports are even worse for their football or whatever. Even one of the Seattle Seahawks players got caught watching his own games on a pirate source because even the rich ballers are sick of the all services.

It's just far too easy for me to go download whatever I want to even pay for services, pirate or the real media cartels.
It was a lot prettier. Fruitier colours, modern sans serif fonts. And it had a cool hp logo on the dock, it made it look like a little computer. It always made me happy when I logged in in the morning. Then CDE came and it felt like work.

When they partnered with sun and IBM to make CDE it got all boringified and businessy :P Serif fonts, boring designs etc.

But yea it was very CDE like because the UI for CDE was basically taken from VUE.

CDE had a few thingies that were a bit more advanced like more things you could just configure by clicking instead of messing with config files.
This AI is going to be made obsolete by AI.
I stand corrected. Thanks for sharing that info.
Yep, it's time to stop taking the high road because republicans will ditch norms when it fits them anyway (see: Mitch Mcconnell in 2016 vs 2020 on supreme court picks)

Dems are held to a higher standard both internally and by the media, but republicans can do/say crazy things without an ounce of accountability from anyone.
> strictly defined and controlled. Nowadays, we have users as a vestige, and partially as a hindrance

Not so. Multiple users make perfect sense for a household tablet or a gaming PC / console shared between siblings.

Concurrent access is rarely a thing anymore, but serial access is a very common use case.
How often do you not want to support host lookup when doing a TCP or UDP connection?

Certainly you could implement these functions using the existing BSD socket libraries, but that misses out on having them used everywhere so you get "free" IPv6 transitions and whatnot.
Yes. It was the first thing I made. I need to update the logic to include the new languages but it’s here. I’ll go find it to find it and put it up. Thanks for reminding me.
It's tricky to provide a really good example right now. I notice in the .NET world there are like these DDD "starter packs", and my god, they're just layers of maintainability hell. If you look at older OOP/DDD books you'll notice that the domain object has real world methods on it, just like as if it were from a UML diagram.

What you should end up with are plain OOPy objects that mirror the real world. They're not skewed or constrained by their database model. They shouldn't have any dependencies on your infrastructure layer. The object should encapsulate state, behaviour, validity and consistency.

An example (which is probably overkill) would be

My secret sauce as an undergraduate for all my math courses was solving problems. Solve all the problems at the end of the chapters in the textbook. Find other textbooks in the library and solve all the problems at the end of their chapters.

In graduate school that was expanded: take every chapter of the textbook and rewrite it, filling in all the intermediate steps of every proof, those where the author writes "it follows that ..." or "from which it's obvious that ..."
At least in English (I don't know other languages well enough to speak with any any kind of knowledge) whenever you want a term containing 2+ words meant to be taken together, you use a hyphen. Compound words, I believe they are called.

From what I can tell, they should have spelled it brain-rot.
Contrary to popular belief, people on a forum you happen to participate in are still just strangers. In line with popular belief, anecdotal evidence is not a good basis to form an opinion.
What market are you looking at for the material costs? Material costs in China are cheaper than US, similar to the labor and electricity.
