The Two Kings and the Two Labyrinths is a page long, and you can find it online (html). It is a small example of his style. If you like that one, then you will probably like his other stories. Of his short stories, my personal favorite is The Secret Miracle (it is included in his book Fictions). He also wrote poetry. My personal favorite is The Golem (included in the book The Other, the Self).
What about banning the postal service from selling customer's data, and funding it some other way?
What about changing the "do not call me register" to a "please call me register" and making do not call me the default, and penalizing those who break the rules?
How about banning all those websites that aggregate and sell personal information from social media and public records?
I took my laptop for repair to an Apple store in Germany. After that, they kept emailing me, despite me asking them to remove me from their mailing list several times. I then wrote an email to Tim Cook. They never answered back, but did not get any further spam.
I think a tree view was promised (listed on a presentation) when Flutter 2.0 was released, but no details were provided, and I haven't heard of it ever since.
After both sides have gotten a given number of acknowledgement of the acknowledgement of the acknowledgement ... of the acknowledgement: isn't it obvious that the original message was delivered?
Some companies even do this for job applications. A manager has a person they want for a role but, because of policy, they must publish it on their employment website, and go through the charade of interviewing candidates, wasting everybody's time. In the end, their preferred candidate wins.
This was more than 10 years ago. If I recall correctly, they sold the BigMac but did not advertise it (not sure if they even displayed it on the menu).
I would add to your excellent answer an anecdote about the tricks of a previous government (with mostly the same people as the current one) to hide inflation: the Secretary of Interior Commerce (a complete thug) forced McDonalds to freeze the price of the BigMac, so that Argentina would look good on the BigMac Index. The prices of all other burgers were more or less free to increase.
Since Argentina started having its own currency, it had to reset it 5 times, dropping a total of 13 zeroes. I have memories of two of those resets and, similar to what you say about your grandma, I remember older people translating to the older currency for a while, until they fully adapted to the new one.
You will be compelled to exchange your dollars at the "official" exchange rate (which is about 1/2 of the real market value), so you lose ~50% there. On top of that, you have to pay taxes.
That seems unlikely. That foreman most probably belongs to a union. Unions in Argentina are very powerful and they negotiate at the National level. Whatever increase they negotiate, your friend's father-in-law will have to pay.
Fiscal deficit. The public sector grows and grows by hiring friends, family, and party members. In addition to that, every government contract is overpriced for kickbacks, and the government meddles in everything seeking opportunities for corrupt personal profit. All of this spending and corruption is financed by very high taxes that oppress the private sector, and by debt. When you cannot increase taxes anymore (in some cases, Argentina taxes are over 100%) and when nobody lends you money anymore, the only solution is to print money. But everybody knows that money is not worth anything, thus creating very high inflation.
I wish there was a board that focused on providing a VS Code server to iPads over USB-C, with all the cost allocated to processor and memory, and very basic (or no) display hardware. It feels strange that such a powerful tablet would need such a thing but, if the board was powerful enough and got out of the way, it would be a nice option to overcome the restrictions that prevent iPad from being a more general mobile software development machine.
I know very little physics and mathematics, so apologies in advance if I am asking something very stupid, but is this a theorem in the mathematical sense of the word?
Treesitter is not JS (although the Wasm version can be used from JS). Lezer (https://github.com/lezer-parser/lezer) is similar (it was inspired by Treesitter) and is written in TS.
Congratulations on the release! It looks very interesting. Does the GUI library embed a web-view, or does it use native controls? What's you estimate of when it will be available for Android and iOS?
I think the trick may be deciding what to do on the web side and what on the Rust side. In the case I was mentioning, I used the web side only for display. All the file handling, app updates, full-text search, etc., I did in Rust, and it worked very well on both MacOS and Windows (didn't check Linux).
It depends on the application. I did a couple of projects with Rust's web-view crate (which uses native Safari on MacOS, and native Edge on Windows). This gave me access to the full JS and the full Rust ecosystem. I think the possibilities were richer than if I had used Electron alone. For example, I was able to use the Tantivy crate, for very fast and powerful full-text search. All of this with a fraction of the executable size.
Thank you very much for doing this. I have permanent residency, and children younger than 21 who live abroad. If I were to apply for permanent residency for them, would they be able to visit the US as tourists while the process is ongoing, or come to study to an American university with a student visa?
