Looks like the pretty formatting is poplular. All the people that complain of Python layout should be jealous of this one: https://www.ioccc.org/2020/yang/prog.c

What have they got to lose?
30% cut of app store, icloud, apple+ TV, Safari users, Maps users, Incremental Market Share.
Realistically lots of people could end up preferring Linux over MacOS, why risk it?

I learned to program in middle school and I loved it, you couldn't tear me away from the school Commodore Pet.
My kid we played with scratch for a bit and she had fun making some games but it fizzled out after a few weeks. No real love. I gave up. Maybe I'll try again in a few years.
There are coding classes and they're all very popular but to me it seems pushy parents signing up their children, none of them seem to enjoy it.

Its pretty sad at the end of the page it talks about other resources, the first few are 2008 ish. I'd expect them to be obsolete, but is that just become the industry standard now? FAANG SD interviews are such a mystery and the we never comment response doesn't help.

I like coffee though for the flavor, the caffeine is not the point. I'd like decaf but never found any I like and the decaf process looks pretty sketchy with lots of chemicals.

There have been rumors about the 'Sun Valley' gui refresh for months. This is from October https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-sun-valley-ui-octo.... Its not exactly a surprised either, Windows 10 was released in 2016(?).

Terrorist acts are only part of it though. Sure 9/11 was cheap but implementing punitive sanctions across countries hundreds officials requires an awful lot of tracking and monitoring.
As regulators catch up you can expect same forms and reporting for any crypto account as a regular account. If you ignore the rules expect big penalties until you comply- just like how banks have been paying billions in fines and are now tarpits of paperwork.

> Cryptocurrencies is the future
No they aren't. especially when:
> Our old-fashioned bank system is far from perfect but it is harder to do illegal things unnoticed, banks report thousands of cases to authorities every year.

The website is a bunch of affiliate links, I'm not convinced this is a loss to the world. https://www.goodcheapandfast.com/

Do we even really know it was Russia? Everything I've seen so far seems to assume that rather than have a confirmed link.
edit: source seems to be Washington Post article "according to people familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity"

It has been a very good strategy so far. Stock is up 3x in a few months. Hopefully MicroStrategy can spin off the software part of the business and just buy bitcoin.

From the definition of unions there isn't much overlap. Yes they want to protect Google Workers from harassment which is valuable but doesn't sound like they're fighting for improving wages, benefits, or working conditions.

Yeah that doesn't look like any union I've ever seen.

Has anyone seen a big - multi year system done in FP? Lots of people love FP, it seems great for your own side project, but I'm not convinced it works in those typical big corporate systems where devs turn over every few years as the code base grows.
