They want functionality that is similar to the C preprocessor’s #if, but different in that they want to require both branches to syntax check.

They also want to locally evaluate the equivalent of such #if expressions (in contrast, in C, #if X requires preprocessing the file. That can mean reading dozens of header files, and is dependent on compiler flags)

I think this is a pragmatic way to accomplish that. It restricts you to conditions that Apple has deemed useful, but makes it easier to write good tooling.

Are there any driving simlators with accurate (as much as possible) world maps? It would be so nice to practice driving around Boston without fear of getting lost in random one way streets or picking the wrong turn on five way intersections.
the key advantage that touchscreens have is that they show many different displays to expose different controls and information, while a physical panel necessarily offers less functionality in the same cockpit area.

i think it would be really nice to combine physical controls with a digital display. either the buttons themselves could have little displays that show different labels depending on which mode you're in, or there could be generic buttons/knobs around the display whose function changes depending on what UI page you're on.

For those concerns, I'd say Go. You can statically link in any pure-Go library trivially. SQLite specifically may require a C file because of its nature, but for accessing databases that take network connections there's a pure-Go driver for most things you've heard of, and there are other static database options for Go if you want them (though they tend more towards NoSQL; if that's really a problem personally I'd just bite the bullet and include the SQLite's library).

And yet there are examples of regulations making things worse (the previous post), so given that you are talking about a host of regulations and many technology changes in the last half century, it can be very well possible that there are regulations making things worse. Simply because all the regulations correlate with improved cars does not prove that they all caused the improvements.
Sure! Let's compare taking your first job at a high salary in a high cost of living area, versus a lower salary in a cheap place. The latter might net you more after-tax "profit" in the early years, but several factors can upset that balance over time:

- Exponential raises (x% per year) cause the higher pay to more rapidly outpace the baseline costs of living, even if higher.
- Many unexpected expenses, like a medical disaster or market losses, can offset taxes on higher income, leaving room to more rapidly recover if you have a higher income.
- Once you've established a higher salary point, it is generally easier to retain it, even if you take steps to mitigate your costs like moving farther outside the city.

These are just some examples. Overall, having a higher income opens up more possibilities for investments that alter the cost dynamics of the system, versus putting up with the cost dynamics that are available to lower income folks. For the same reasons the get rich richer, limiting yourself to the options of the poor can reduce your opportunities.

Edit: I should note that this doesn't take into account cases where you find special opportunities in a low cost area! I know folks who were able to reinvest surplus income from early jobs in local businesses, effectively acting higher up the capital food chain earlier in their lives, because they stayed in cheap places. However, this is a more active strategy that didn't seem to be the same spirit of the "save more from your income so you can retire early" OP.
I actually dislike their use of whitespace and scrolling animations. Usually those landing pages are way overdone IMO.

If by the "ergonomics" of bash, e3b0c meant the interactive usage, I'd have to agree that bash is a much better interactive shell. Once you start programming it, though, it gets bad fast.

One of my heterodox opinions is that "shell" is actually two languages, an interactive language for moving around the system and executing commands, and a non-interactive language for programming system interactions, and they really shouldn't be the same thing because there's a list of things as long as my arm that should be one way for one case and the other way for the other. "Error handling", for instance, is an entire category on its own; what a human sitting at a shell wants and what a program wants are just night and day different, and at least one side is going to lose if you try to straddle the gap with one language.

Re multisets, yes cuckoo filters and counting blooms are bounded - cuckoos by entries or bucket x 2, and blooms by bits per counter. Cuckoo's counting capability is more a side effect of the design. It's really only interesting in that you get limited counting in roughly the same bit space as a non-counting bloom. I suppose you could add counting bits to a cuckoo to support higher bounds in a similar manner to counting blooms.

I'm curious to hear more on your point on K-hashing in bloom filters - would you expand on your statement about only needing a K-bit hashing function? I'm happy to update the text on the tutorial to be more clear/exact.

BGAN is very limited - you only get a few hundred kbps... This will likely be more like O3B, which can do gigabit (if you pay for it, and of course the total bandwidth is limited and shared so speeds would drop significantly if they had high take-up).

So this will definitely be far higher than BGAN, but from what I'm reading here people have far too high expectations if they're in a populated area... Definitely this could be an absolute game-changer for rural areas, but for densely populated cities you're going to have a better time with fixed line.

>I still don't get why non-code templating ever became popular.

Because if you're working on a team, not everyone on your team may be a programmer, particularly if they're just working on layout design, and the problem that templates solve in that regard don't require complete access to raw code. Separating one from the other makes it easy to focus on one versus the other. Just look at how messy a complex Wordpress template can get and how difficult it can be, just reading it, to get a grasp of what the HTML would look like, versus a Twig template which has a lot less noise.

>Especially that I saw it becoming popular in PHP, which itself is a better templating language than the templating languages people were using.

I've been down the road with PHP where everyone working on javascript and CSS also had to know just enough PHP not to break the site, because everything had raw PHP mixed into it, and then somewhere in the vast tree of includes including includes someone forgot to manually escape a variable that came from the database, or else they did, but now someone else escaped it twice, or they created some weird encoding problem because they were in a javascript context.

PHP is at best an adequate templating language, and a good base to build a sane framework on. But a framework is necessary beyond a certain level of complexity, because most projects benefit from features that raw PHP doesn't provide, such as context-aware and automatic variable escaping, template inheritance, template caching, etc. You will either wind up using an existing templating framework, or you will wind up implementing an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of an existing framework.

>That said, glue-strings-together templates are still a problem and should not be used. HTML document is semantically a tree, and if you don't treat it like that, bugs and security vulnerabilities follow.

There's no way to get that in PHP without a template framework. PHP, unfortunately, doesn't even know that HTML exists[0], despite having the sole purpose of being an HTML preprocessor.

[0]I just remembered there are XML functions like DomDocument that can be used to process HTML (with... effort) but I don't know whether or not you could get something like XHR out of it, and by extension, avoid the problem of HTML as concatenated strings.
There's a standard serialization of standardized DOM objects in which everything is a string. But the fact that the serialization is a string isn't very interesting, because pretty much everything has a serialization or easily could easily have a serialization where everything is a string; the underlying capabilities of what is being described is the interesting thing, and is where all the differences between data types and formats arise.

I definitely feel that way - I'm much happier when I'm working less than 40 hours a week, these days. It is possible to start with what you want and eventually negotiate or find a work situation that meets your needs.

Some options:

1. If you have good relationship at current job, see what you can negotiate. E.g. maybe you can become individual contributor. Maybe you can figure out way to make it work just by rearranging things - in office first half of day, available from 4-5 pm in afternoon, or something.

2. Find a different job where you can the job schedule you want. E.g. remote job, or just a job with more flexible work schedule.

2. Negotiate a less-than-40-hours job - definitely possible, I interviewed someone who has been doing that for 15 years: https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer...

(I talk about options, negotiation skills and more in my related book, The Programmer's Guide to a Sane Workweek: https://codewithoutrules.com/saneworkweek/).

Run a twitter follower list API call for all followers with the quality filter on. Save the list to a database

Then run the same call with a the quality filter off and tag each new follower as a bot.

Then block the bots ?

Of course I realize that he's not a developer, but that would basically fix his problem and is not too hard to create.

edit: I now saw at twitteraudit.com that you can use it to block followers too. I guess that he didn't mind THAT much then contrary to the quoted statement above.

[Qeust] Bootstrapping compilers in the future
It's the post-apocalyptic age. The fight between robots and human race has stopped. We won.. You are the only programmer left alive, and to rebuild the civilization you need the newest version of GCC. You found the copy in a quantum storage device, however, all the binaries of all available compilers for all architectures have been wiped out of existence by robots.

The major asks you, how long would it take for you to get a stable working compiler for your architecture, and most importantly, how would you do it ?

For simplicity, let's assume you use x86-64.
If it is similar to the Hololens in capability and half the price I would think about it, but it is far in line behind "upgrade my stereo system" or "go skiing in Japan".

They can, to a larger degree than most critics seem to realize. I use those controls all the time. I might agree that they're not as prominent or easy to use as they should be, but they exist because people at Facebook cared enough to implement them (which isn't easy or cheap at that scale BTW).

> I can't disprove that that's their ideal, but in light of their data-sharing I have no reason to believe it.

Oh, you mean the data sharing that was curtailed sharply in 2014, and again in increments ever since? Is that continuing effort and foregone revenue "no reason" to believe such a sentiment exists?

True, but the balance of evidence must be to demonstrate that making that change WILL cause an improvement. Otherwise, you're simply in a religious argument. So what evidence is there that reducing regulation on cars improves their environmental impact?
I think you're perhaps over-estimating how much bandwidth the system will have. Satellites are limited by power, earth ground-station uplink/downlink, the amount of spectrum they have for customer access in each spot-beam, etc.

Definitely for rural and less densely populated areas you could potentially get hundreds of Mbps per subscriber, but even for the crazy high number of satellites they're talking about in their constellation, at this point you're probably only going to get tens of megabits per subscriber in a densely populated city with any decent take-up rate...

I think this may be more nuanced by the addition of a caveat that the EPA should be factoring cost in if cost is necessary to explain the "technical, operational, and legal details necessary to implement laws" enacted by congress which they seek to implement regulation. For example regulations pertaining to a "Consumer Re-affordability Automotive Program Act" versus a "Countrywide Automotive Reduced Emissions Act"

Did you read the privacy policy? It says:

This certainly doesn't cover the kind of spam I mentioned.

Also, I stopped using the app before that privacy policy was ever written. I've searched my email and they never emailed me about it either. I've never been notified about a new privacy policy.
