Thank you for following up. The first point dosen’t really do anything for me because I did cite California as one of many US states holding a referendum. The 2nd point is a more interesting debate and it may involve some preference. For my

I think you are confounding a few things. In Switzerland you have 4 referendums a year where the demos, the people, make decisions in concert. In most republics, all you get to do is elect a representative. Some US states do hold referendum

Switzerland is not an inclusive place. It is a democracy.

by mucholove 5y ago
It is quite proudly a Republic with Democratic characteristics. The only democracy is Switzerland. Switzerland solves the problem of populist tyrannical capture by having an Executive Council instead of a President. More recently, I’ve com

Branding, intellectual property, are important but…the most important thing to protect is taste. In this regard the US is so far off the mark (and so chemically manufactured) as to cheapen the expensive and flavorful foods Europe continues

I learned Objective-C this year and I love it. It is a fantastic language to use because the tradeoff is obviously evident in the language. You can use Smalltalk for a day. Understand the history. Understand the compromise. And Objective-C

Yes, but wouldn’t they still end up at a startup? Pay is lower, stress is higher. Working not living rules the day.

Dude. It’s a failed kitchen sink. We Chat was both my bank and my Amazon. I kept money on it and was the best way to go to the store. Heck—I even used WeChat as my Uber (Didi) because I didn’t have a Chinese card and the in-app WeChat app b

I did implement a webserver (that supports websocket-a binary protocol) and also implemented a `make_binary_string` function along the wah so as to not lose my bearings. Printf is 100% amazing and I generally leave my printf statements insi

Nicely done. A few months ago, I implemented a WebSocket server from scratch and would have loved to see this before doing so. It really is all just 0 s and 1s coming down the pipes.

There is some sort of devirtualization that might bypass it. When they announced, Twitter was going crazy about how it might kill ObjC dynamism. However, what I was to was that you can store the method in a variable, and call it directly, t

Pretty much every method call, unless it is optimized—will go through `objc_msgSend`. The runtime looks up the code for a particular object using `objc_msgSend.` The function signature varies depending on how many parameters the method has

Here, the members of the state leave the pensions fund dry, the roads break down, the chemicals leech while they enjoy a private jet and get arrested when they travel to the USA on drug charges. Meanwhile, the prosecutor and the journalists

And it keeps going and going up! Maybe it was enough for most when land was cheaper. Prices have skyrocketed. My guess is something changes the moment the grind becomes unnecessary because you easily have earned X such that desirable living

The only thing that stops me from doing it that there is a well established pattern of passing `&error` which tells me that the function can error and that I could handle it. I’m sort of looking for what 2nd order and systemics effects

Thank you for such a thoughtful answer! I did ask the question on Twitter. :) Not entireley convinced but I’m certainly looking forward to using it. One more thing—how would you do error handling? Thinking out loud here: it would be nice if

by mucholove 5y ago
Maybe it has to do with coherence of objects as collections of functions and the fact that they contain state. I love objects and talking about them as living creatures. :) They’re sort of like functions that include a long set of parameter

You also get armed guards in bigger malls in DR where shoplifting might be possible.

Muchisimas gracias! This is exactly what I've been looking for. :)

Fantastic video. I love the host and it seems like he tackles the topics I'm interested in—such as the egg peeler machine. I'd love to be able to buy soft boiled eggs like I did at the vending machine in Japan. :) https:/&#x

Thank you :) Has he ever talked about how well his gardening skills translated into a green thumb in the UK? It's sort of amazing how time becomes that much more important a factor when you consider frost.

Ooh! Love the idea of Kankong :) I have a "pawpaw" (we call them lechoza) going. It sprouted in my worm bin and it's doing well. What strategy do you use to keep the soil muddy for kangkong?

Ooh! So fantastic. I just bought a wheelbarrow today and am planting guava, okra, in addition to the cacao and coffee I already got. If that sounds weird, it is because I am in Dominican Republic. The biggest challenge for me is finding inf

I speak both English and Dominican Spanish natively. Here is my translation: “Tendrían que haber estado mirándola.” “Vigilado” is a much stronger word and to me it would be much more like “guarded” Ive studied Chinese before and a translati

My understanding is so: Patents read like a menu item. “Chocolate cake with peanut butter and strawberries.” Or “Adenovirus #16 with coronavirus XXX sample modification.” To make the vaccine you also need—“whip up 2 eggs, 4 cups of flour an

What it does do...for sure is make you go crazy. Traders are pretty wired. People building long term businesses (Like 10 year horizon plus) are on a different gravity.

An interesting, and different aspect of “resilience” you sort of touch on but don’t spell out is resistance to temptation. Avoiding gluttony if you refer to the deadly sins. Some family environments may “spoil” the child because wealth al

Tone deaf it is. I got started in Ruby by following “Rails Tutorial”. Back then I was a bit arrogant about it and parroted a bunch the DHH bunk. My charitable reading is they are looking for someone who sees the language as a framework arou

The comment may seem flippant—yet, having been a boarding clerk on a vessel ship captains would often offer cigarettes and scotch to save themselves some trouble.
