"In high level programmming languages, you expect subtyping as a given",

since we expect a lot of features to work as if subtyping was the way it was implemented?
This happened with the IRS and ICE. Illegal immigrants were told to pay taxes because the IRS didn't reveal their address to ICE. And it didn't. Now the new regime has fired and replaced the people at the IRS responsible for that policy, and the IRS will now report all data it collected about illegal immigrants to ICE.
It's a matter of perspective.

The "unit" in unit test refers to the test, not the code under test. High level tests that are isolated from other tests using mechanisms like fixtures, setup/teardown etc are still unit tests.
Burma/Myanmar has been largely ruled by the junta since 1962, with brief periods of semi-stability in between, and it has largely been isolated from the rest the world.

Up until mid-2000's, the entire country was reliant on a single – modem – internet connection to Singapore (the Singaporean government had a long history of propping up successions of military governments in Myanmar until China arrived on the scene).
There are tons of scammers with more money than their victims, they don't stop scamming.

Off topic: I hate so much what Krisp (the desktop app) has become. It was the perfect background noise cancelling tool, and now is asking permissions to record your whole screen and audio, for AI meeting companion features I couldn’t care about one bit. And they make it such a frustrating pain to opt-out, with constant modals tricking you in enabling all those AI features.

Does anyone know an alternative that achieves similar level of background noise cancelling?
It's the entire industry's idea of security for the last 10 years or so that the company who made the thing is unquestionably more trustworthy than the users themselves.
Who said that? Can easily inflict pain via sanctions and other means to get the corrupt Nigerian government to meaningfully do something.

Nigeria is not like Russia, they do not have super valuable energy resources nor a scary military they can lord over the rest of the world with.

By allowing this activity it actually hurts Nigeria the most as it prevents the country from ever developing the institutions and international trust necessary for economic development.

afaik, with Temporal you deploy workers. When a workflow calls an activity, the activity gets added to a queue, and the workers pull activities from queues.

In Restate, there are no workers like that. The durable functions (which contain the equivalent of the activity logic) get deployed on FaaS or like a containerized RPC service. The Restate broker calls the function/service with the argument and some attached context (journal, state, ...).

You can think of it a bit like Kafka vs. EventBridge. The former needs long lived clients that poll for events, the latter pushes events to subscribers/listeners.

This "push" (Restate broker calls the service) means there doesn't have to be a long running process waiting for work (by polling a queue).

I think the difference also naturally from the programming abstraction:
In Temporal, it is workflows that create activities, in Restate it stateful durable functions (bundled into services).

I'd like to remind you that there are still millions of people around the world using Windows 7 daily. The fact that some software is no longer supported by its developer doesn't mean it stops working somehow, or becomes radioactive.
The bigger factor is the market for scammers. There are millions of Indian, Nigerian, and carribean scammers.
It kinda just depends on the agenda, one source says it’s nothing, another says it’s a trillion, and that huge gap usually means someone’s trying to push something, like tougher laws or justify some policy shift. Half the time it feels like the facts don’t even matter, just the story they wanna sell.
It’s already established by research that power makes people less empathetic. Then come the incentives to do nothing.

Some portion of legit call centres for banks or telcos (as an example) have an accent, especially when support services are outsourced. Means that many are not deterred by an accent or imperfect email phrasing when approached.

In one case of a friend's mother being scammed: she'd complained to her ISP about an issue with their service. Their actual customer support told her to expect a call back later that day. Then some sort of Microsoft support scam out of India happened to call her an hour or two later...
Agreed but just to clarify, Hexi sits at a level below something like MessagePack because it doesn't impose any particular encoding on you since the use-case was handling arbitrary binary protocols that you might not have any control over. You could build support for MessagePack on top of Hexi but not the other way around. They're all very different use-cases.
I agree with you, but I think the problem, with regard to the US (I do not know about the rest of the Americas) is that they are victims of their history. While they can understand at an intellectual level that race is cultural construct, they cannot at other levels stop regarding race (rather than culture, language, etc.) as a essential and immutable part of people's identity.

I have blogged about this compared to my own experience of race in different cultures https://pietersz.co.uk/2023/08/racism-culture-different

Also worth thinking that the attitudes you (and I) have have been rejected by many people in the US. For many, a "melting pot" culture is no longer considered desirable.
In India atleast, 'communism' or 'Marxism' in the names of political parties that actually run a state is just a name that has stuck. These entities and people have to be a lot more pragmatic. This is in contrast to those who are arm chair think tanks that you would find in advisory boards, universities etc. These would be people who do not run for elections.

Now, as for Kerala's handling of Covid, that was funded by state govt coffers. So Middle East money had a negligible contribution. What made a difference though is a history of preference for investing in social safety nets and basic infrastructure for people, such as schools, nutrition, hospitals.
I remember when that was the point of Bitcoin. Just about every other crypto out there is more fiat than fiat itself is, between centralization and arbitrary issuance.

And it still is for many; the banks just sort of want to throw their two cents in about that. And it turns out, the worst thing about bitcoin is that it's money for enemies; nobody can stop them from doing so (well, aside from their own regulators). Sort of how something being permissionless works.
they probably intend its relation to React.
That’s not the case. I have a Windows 11 computer around, set up with a Microsoft account and Windows Hello, and I can log in just fine without internet connection.
The point was that insects cannot be enlarged much, because their skeleton, joints, respiratory system and circulatory system are optimized for small sizes and they no longer work at big sizes. Also their nervous system becomes too slow at big sizes.

To be able to live, Mothra would have to only look from the outside as an insect, but to have internally a structure like a vertebrate (and even that is limited in the achievable sizes).

In general, when analyzing the differences in structure between arthropods and vertebrates, the solutions used by the former are better at small sizes, while those used by the latter are better at big sizes. Even if there is an overlap in size between the biggest arthropods and the smallest vertebrates, neither vertebrates can be made as small as the smaller arthropods nor arthropods can be made as big as the bigger vertebrates.

Most people dramatically underestimate how widespread their cultural moral system is. Billions of people live in cultures where scamming is perfectly moral.
"but even that was spread with intent once found out their immunity is weak against old continent diseases"

This is somewhat unsure. First, if we are talking about the Spanish conquest, that is deep 16th century, with all its magical thinking. God, the Devil and witches were all plausible explanations for epidemics, and holy processions, pilgrimages and carrying of medailons dedicated to saint X were considered reasonable treatment methods. It is a mistake to look at the 16th century with 21st century eyes; it is a different world resting on very different mental foundations.

Second, at least in the Spanish territories, losing your workforce was economically disadvantageous.

Wait, if I recall correctly, covariance has long been established as a mistake. I would guess that if TypeScript had adopted contravariance the problems you mention would go away. We could then argue that TypeScript does need subtyping (like everyone else), as long as it’s contravariant.

My point is, we can’t say TypeScript doesn’t need subtyping just because they botched it. As such, it may not be a good counter example of the article’s thesis.

Scammers prey on the most vulnerable, mentally handicapped people, and even their own neighbors.

Ask Nigerians how they feel about the fact they can’t interact with most western institutions or develop economically due to the actions of their worst neighbors.

It may surprise you to learn the largest population of victims of Nigerian scammers are other Nigerians. The dollar figures may not reach $1T (since Nigeria is poor) but it actively inhibits every day life in these countries and leads to the economic deadzone that is a low trust society.

As California learned, decriminalizing theft does not help the poor, in fact it disproportionately affects them the most.

Please re-examine your luxury beliefs.

One of these days, just like most bitcoiners today have, the government is going to learn the hard way that bitcoin and crypto are not the same, and should not be treated the same. One has no issuer, the other has them. One has an immutable ledger, the other is full of examples of rollbacks and even lost ledgers (lookin' at you XRP). One is peer to peer, the other has a small in group calling the shots on protocol changes, due to node running being out of reach of consumer hardware. Heck, a lot of them don't even try to hide this, using proof of stake (read: oligarchic operations) rather than proof of work, which was the crux of how bitcoin was made to be trustless.

But like I said, this is something most bitcoiners had to learn the hard way, and the government and institutions are new to this game. With any luck they'll figure it out quickly, but it might be tough given how much lobbying money is being thrown around by the issuers of these shitcoins. Note how many CEO's we're seeing in these crypto summits...and be reminded that you'll never see the CEO of Bitcoin anywhere.
Thanks. I guess bronze verses steel and horses was just not enough.

It does seem that native allies were critical (they are mentioned several times) and parts of the article downplay that.

I have also found the same thing in popular perceptions of the British Empire - it was heavily reliant on native allies to expand, and native soldiers and police to maintain itself (at least in South Asia, which is the bit I know the most about).

As tossandthrow says, return it as being defect. Reckon this should apply anywhere where warranty applies.

If what you say is correct then the device is (a) not fit for purpose and (b) it's possible you may be able to claim damages on the basis that the manufacturer has changed its modus operandi without your permission or consent and it's now incompatible with the way you work, etc., etc.

If Google reckons it had the right to alter your device because you agreed to its EULA, then it seems you'd still have a case on grounds that it no longer functions as it should.

There are only two things that will stop these bastards—them realizing such behavior is draining money from their hip pockets and proper consumer and privacy legislation.

But forget the latter, democracy is stuffed, and Big Tech has it by the balls anyway.

I'd used until 2020, and moved away to Windows laptop.

The key reason of moving is that, Apple suddenly moved Korean/English change to another position. In Korea, the language changing key is positioned at the right of space. And in 2017, Apple suddenly erased the language changing key, and let user to guie "Caps Lock" button instead. And the original "Caps Lock" key, it is working only when pressing the "Caps Lock" key over 2 seconds.

I thought that Apple did a terror to Korean users. However, I just kept using the Macbook just by customizing the language change key to others by the 3rd p
zarty key mapping program.
'
By the way, Apple did more terrible thing at 2020. They suddenly removed "\" (Korean dollar symbol called "won"), and moved it to use the "`" key. The previous "`" key has been disabled when typing Korean. So when writing markdown content, whenever I need codeblock, it makes me crazy.

Furthermore, Mac has critical bug on language changing delay problem. If I press the language change button and keep going typing, the language change is adjusted after the following keys. This is called language chaning delay. Korean users are requesting t fix the bug for 20 years, but never be resolved.

Listened to the demos. Did not improve comprehension vs original (all of which were clear enough). Besides now they sound like soulless robots, which is distracting and would at least make me very suspicious if I am speaking to a human at all.
The various 3-letter-agencies really are incentivized to help government and industry be legitimately secure against anything short of the sophisticated attacks they themselves can orchestrate

When you’ve got the sort of reach and resources they have, it does you no good if script kiddies or unsophisticated attacks are causing problems and you don’t need the easily preventable attack vectors they’d use.

Hi everyone,
Recently I released the Social Media Scheduler Publora (https://publora.com/). The philosophy behind this project was to provide an extremely engaging UI, so that users don't just use it to schedule content, but use it to create and cross-reference the content. I'd appreciate any feedback you may have: logo, design, idea, functionality. Cheers, Sev
For that reason, if I was seeking change, I'd go aggressively after any Republican who isn't shutting this sort of thing down. Seek public statements in opposition or link them as complicit. Do it in a way that has a lasting effect. Trump will flame out. Musk's fallback is wealth. But there are others quietly riding on their efforts who will then wash their hands of them when the opportunity arises.

There are. You can do it. It's just that the language fights you on it.

>Safari has had a bug when opening a new tab and typing "search term" too quickly, it opens URL http://search%20term instead of doing a Google search. 8 years ago I've opened a bug for that which was closed as a duplicate, and just recently experienced this bug again.

While webkit might have some much needed improvements in the past few years, it is still the behind Blink and Gecko. Safari, the browser itself. Has been awful for the past 10 years. At least on Desktop. And some of these are not issue with Webkit because other webkit browser does it better.

The Address bar is far the worst compared to Chrome ( OmniBar ) and Firefox ( I believe it used to be call Awesomebar ). I have experience the same bug you mentioned and I believe I filed it way earlier.
