It is down to the judgement of the translator to choose what to preserve, I'm not suggesting they should carry everything over. Some things will be too difficult for the reader and not worth the effort. However, there will be cases whe

Well if I really wanted to appreciate the book at its best I’d learn the language and read the original. But that has its obvious impracticalities. I think it’s a trade off then. I’d prefer authenticity, richness and nuance over accessibili

My layman take on this is I don’t really want to read a book where “There isn't a paragraph or turn of phrase which feels like it didn't originate in English”. I want the original language to punch through a bit and be celebrated

I think to do all that you’d need a full on DSL rather than something pocket calculator like. I think adding a triangular distribution would be good though.

I’ve been dipping my toe in Lua and found some ways to achieve pattern matching of sorts and there’s a package called Tamale too but I’m not sure if that is used much.

My problem with “it’s the wealthy” is it is just nebulous and not thought through - typical populist rubbish. Whereas the stuff I’m talking about like the planning and energy infrastructure are very direct and would actually make a differen

You could do floating rate notes too. But fixed rate bonds are by far the largest portion of the bond market and cash on hand is always a big component.

The global bond market is bigger than the global equity market - look it up. It’s held by someone and it ain’t poor people.

Sure but rich people also have lots of cash and bonds, at least more than the poor. Poor people don’t have either, their best inflation hedge is borrowing.

by jbjbjbjb 2y ago
That’s just wrong on so many levels. If I look at just one error, inflation doesn’t affect everyone it is a tax on savers ie the rich. Wages and prices go up with inflation (prices by definition), but cash and savings go down in real terms.

Housing and energy could both be dirt cheap and the money would still go to rich people. The problem from a living standards point of view is the cost which is due to a lack of supply. Get the cost down and poor people would be able to save

I think he massively misses the mark. If you look at Britain’s actual problems they’re not due to a lack of tax revenue or “the rich”. People aren’t able to save because their money is spent on housing and energy - both of those are due to

I’m struggling to see how nullables are different from mocks it just does the mocking in the production code. In the example I would just replace GitWriter with a mock of GitWriter and it achieves the same thing, no?

Judging by home owners around me it looks to be quite a popular change. As far as I can tell they're pretty much changing like for like (upvc with double glazing) without the energy efficiency upgrade. Changing from white to black fram

They shouldn’t be able to tap any device from a server. I’m guessing they would have to apply for a warrant and serve the warrant to Apple who review the warrant and provide the data.

Well it’s important that the argument is correct. They view ending end-to-end encryption as a way to restore the effectiveness of traditional warrants. It isn’t necessarily about mass surveillance and the implementation could prevent mass s

Well if you’re interested look it up, the Instagram profile is there and it shows a lot more of their efforts. If this is alternate reality, please do tell what in your mind is the actual reality?

As a software engineer from the U.K. I always wondered if mega big tech did any interesting work outside the US. Hopefully things have changed now?

For my most boring tasks what I do is I write my to do list and break the work down into a stupid level of detail including all the practical steps too. Like: open word document, review section 1, save document, email link to x. This makes

Someone could just come up with a new and more popular crypto. There no chance of gold being replaced by new element. I’m not saying it couldn’t surpass gold but I think the motivation would be speculation rather than a store of value.

You’re saying programming isn’t not equivalent to chess here because programming isn’t a competition, but the Advent of Code leaderboard very much is a competition.

A new NET version comes out yearly and the C# and F# versions align with the yearly version but C# is ahead by 4. Semantic versioning is overrated anyway.

Under £10 it’s not espresso but a Hario V60 and the James Hoffman recipe and good coffee beans beats any Nespresso for taste imo. I do drink Nespresso as well.

Not to be pedantic, but practically speaking it looks like there are two dimensions: fidelity and then the rest (the SMUR).

In my opinion it’s still more driven by nationalistic agendas than the ethical imperative and as others have said there are good reasons to leave the artifacts where they are. I’ve only ever seen people make heated demands based on past gri

Why not just accept the situation as part of the ebb and flow of history? They certainly weren’t the first empires in history. I think a lot of the objection is more about nationalistic sentiment than anything else and I don’t feel it needs
