Sadly, I will not replace asciinema+svg-term-cli by termtosvg, because termtosvg takes the terminal size into account when recording, not when rendering. It means that I have to resize my terminal before recording, and that I will not be able to resize it differently for rendering. So if lines are wrapped, I cannot change the width to de-wrap them in the resulting SVG.

Asciinema does not care about your terminal size when recording. In fact you can even reduce it or hide it (if you automate the input). Then you render it with svg-term-cli with the width you feel it is best.

Yep, the overflow optimizations are totally needed. Also, aliasing is a big issue of course. I was overgeneralizing. It would be interesting to think what kinds of UB optimizations fall into the "strange and unexpected" camp in the first place. (I don't think overflow or aliasing optimizations do).

Stop looking for a jobs at all of the cool startups and look for boring corporate jobs. I’m 44 and never have any issues finding jobs and know plenty of 50 year old developers. The difference is that we are all aggressive about keeping our skills current.

In the words of the great Burrell Smith, make a mess, clean it up.

Japanese schoolchildren are expected to clean their classroom after lunch. It's a part of the curriculum, probably borrowed from the training rules of Zen monasteries. Japanese educators believe that it teaches cooperation and responsibility. It's a habit that sticks, as we have seen at the World Cup.

IMO, kids aren't terribly different to adults in their attitudes to work. They thrive when they're trusted with real responsibility and wither into cynicism and demotivation if they're kept busy with bullshit make-work. They'll live up to whatever is expected of them, for better and for worse.

Camouflage from face detection
You got the process wrong. It is not: first I figure out a subject, then I do deep work, it is the reverse: you start with deep work and go, step by step, into your subject. This does not mean you can not change direction, but the deep work is required before you carve out your niche.
I found this article to be interesting, but framed in a very strange way. The author continuously promotes that there is a left-right "war", and while several of their examples seems to definitely imply a political spectrum split like that, most of the issues they're recounting come from a cultural divide. This basically boils down to English/Western vs Japanese/Eastern cultural differences, but with political opinions pulled into the mix. Their choice to not even define the two types of content is telling as well: by simply defining it, they know the Western audience of their article won't want anything to do with it.

It's an interesting story, but framed in a strange way with key details left out to fit the red-blue narrative, in my opinion. Some, I would assume more Eastern-oriented users, would argue that they are being censored for content that is perfectly acceptable in their culture. Others, primarily Western audiences, would argue that it isn't culturally acceptable here, and that this is what Mastodon was designed for, to choose who you wish to include in your Federation. I don't really know which side I agree with personally, both seem to have their merits, but it's an interesting situation, one of several I've heard whispers of from Mastodon.

> My understanding is that C has undefined behaviour where there is no universally sensible implementation across all architectures.

There are two less drastic options used by the Standard for those cases.

- Unspecified behavior: behavior that must be "sane" in some sense but may differ between implementations. Vendors need not document the exact behavior.

- Implementation-defined behavior: behavior that must be sane and may differ between implementations. Vendors are required to document the behavior.
I can't help but feel that any 'radical' positive perspective I hold depends on whether google/facebook/etc. can find a way to not be subjected to these laws.

You could go over your source code and see how many operations are done using non-constant data from non-local-scope sources. I would be pretty amazed by a compiler that could find all or most of my operations that don't overflow. Almost all never do, or shouldn't, but that's probably hard to prove and requires global analysis.
> You cannot simply rely on local tab width settings if files use a mix of tabs and spaces for indentation and alignment: if you change the tab width then alignment breaks.

Ah I think you've misunderstood what I meant by tabs for indentation and space for alignment (something which you will be controlling with a formatter because that's the entire premise of my original comment). I'm not sure how to make it more clear, so I'll give you an example.

class SomeClass {
[tab]functions some_method(with, arguments) {
[tab][tab]return a_function_call(with,
[tab][tab] lots,
[tab][tab] and,
[tab][tab] lots,

> Such as?

Extremely high performance, compact binaries, and its ability to be used both for cross-platform functionality, and for low-level and platform-specific functionality. All the reasons C took over the world (every major operating-system and game-engine, for starters), rather than its competitors.

Kernel developers and game-engine developers care about performance. Embedded developers care about binary size. It doesn't do to pretend that C's advantages there don't really matter.

C isn't a 'big government' language like Java. It isn't meant to be. It's meant to be more of a very-high-level assembly language.

Programming languages are a matter of tradeoffs, not of the 'one true path'. If you want a language with good safety assurances, look elsewhere.

> C does not have the needed expressiveness to use most modern performance enhancements (like SIMD, auto vectorizing requires a lot of work and checking of conditions, and is not very efficient)

Auto-vectorisation is a tough nut to crack, sure. That's not specific to C though. Even frameworks like OpenCL are based on C.

> what were important optimizations 40 yrs ago today are reckless (like no boundary checks)

C has a pretty terrible track-record on security, yes. Precisely because it's not a safe language.

I believe Clang now has a flag to add runtime boundary-checks. For many applications, I agree with you that it would be worth the performance penalty to enable that runtime check in all builds.
I agree very much with you, we should head towards a society where the origin of people, their skin tone, gender and sexuality doesn't matter at all, at least in public life, jobs and home search. I just want to add that US and Europe seem to be on different paths and I'm not entirely sure that one is ahead of the other. To me the problems in the US in that regard seem more systemic (e.g. low social mobility), while the ones in Europe seem more personal, comparatively, although with greater regional/national variability. Intuitively I think that PC culture is not helping - it's like paving over social problems instead of letting them go their natural course until a culture has finally absorbed an immigration wave. Heavy handed government- or corporate regulations often seem to have adverse effects.

Although saying that, I do have a picture on how heavy regulation could work better - have more stuff selected blindly. And I do mean blind - no names, no voices, instead you get assigned a case ID (from government?) and you communicate through secure chat, until an offer is either accepted or rejected from any party. That could at least meet discrimination at the initial selection process - of course you still have adverse networking effects leading to lots of jobs not being offered public anymore and the subsequent workplace discrimination issues - these are harder nuts to crack. But the way e.g. job applications in the US are handled is an incomplete shield, it should be either all-in blind or just open to 'cultural fit' questions from start IMO.

The basics of house searches are regulated in federal law. Criminal law itself is federal only (i.e. everything that is a crime in Bavaria is also one in Berlin). In a criminal investigation any German judge can order a search wherever they seem fit. The police responsible for that place
is then required to execute the search. The details of the search are regulated in state law which the police then follows.

I can't think of a relevant legal discrepancy that may exist between the laws for ordering searches (there are very tight rules set by the Federal Constitutional Court) but I presume the judge has to take into account the laws where the search takes place. On the other hand my knowledge on criminal investigation law is very rusty.

The sad thing about this is that if you are doing this real goal driven it might be your main source of income.

You spend your company's money on private immoral fun of customers, customers spend their company's money on your products/services instead of the otherwise not so different competition. The key part is that nobody actually invests their private money, but the value they get out of it is private. That's why it works and that's why it's usually illegal, and like most illegal things it happens anyway until someone at the top gets really pissed with you/your department/your company specifically.

IMHO, The promise of multi-platform dev is sharing code and reusing resources (including developers) which generally comes subpar with native developing for several reasons. Having 2 separated teams of iOS and Android, they should aimed for native in each platform.
Flutter has it's own issues.

First , flutter uses an architecture similar to a game and uses it's own rendering pipeline and Layout system, meaning integrating with anything that exists is extremely challenging ( Chartings , Lottie etc... ) you'll be often waiting behind the Flutter team to implement the feature inside the engine.

On top of that the SDK supports for Darts right now are non-existent, maybe it'll change in the future , but Firebase + GCloud is pretty much all you'll get in terms of SDK as of now.

The real problem is people (including the author of the article, apparently) think ML is necessarily some kind of ultra-complicated technique that needs a PhD and a GPU. But, come on, 80% of the times you can use ML, dead-easy techniques are more than enough.

I mean, the author is talking about how SQL is a good-old 40 year old tech. In the mean time, one of the simplest ML algorithm, linear regression, is about 200 years old, even older (AFAIK) than Ada's program for Babbage's machine. It's very easy to understand and implement, and even excel has it as a standard function.

Sure, linear/logistic regression or naive bayes won't help you tag pictures with text à la facebook "this is a picture of a young man dancing with a red shirt", but the vast majority of use cases of ML are way easier, anyway. So yes, most of the time, you can easily find "talents" that will solve your ML problems. And if you really want to, you can implement it in SQL.

I was also a sales engineer 20 years ago. There was a ton of drinking involved, but never anything wilder. I was honestly a bit surprised how tame the after-hours excursions were given what I'd heard from friends at other companies with similar clients. Ability to drink heavily was a requirement of anyone on the sales team though.

I did get a lot of nice dinners and bbq lunches. Seriously, every client had a favorite bbq place they had to show off. Weird in retrospect.

They didn't have a single JS/Web developer at the start.

> There was also an issue that caused a crash because one version of npm had a `package.lock` and the other didn’t which caused us to install incorrect versions of a dependency across a React Native upgrade.

This issue I would attribute to their lack of experience or knowledge of how NPM works, not to ReactNative.

> Lastly, CI for the iOS project was a pain point as well. We now had to add an npm dependency layer and make sure those were being updated properly before continuing the install. This added nontrivial amounts of time to our build step.

The same way if I would add Java to my JavaScript project, my build time would increase.

There are a lot of legitimate complaints in the article, but a lot of their issues stem from their lack of web experience.
It's not just the harm to children that people have problems with, it's the power difference between an adult and a child. Adults have power over children, they place their trust in us. We are supposed to use our power over children to make them better people, to make their generation better than the previous. Society (perhaps only Western society it seems) does not like relationships where one person uses their power over someone else to the betterment of themselves (Harvey Weinstein and the rest of the #metoo movement comes to mind).

So I think that's the root cause of the "disgust" for this type of art and the motivations behind it; it facilities dishonest use of power.
> even providing camelCase and snake_case aliases(!)

Sorry, but it's preposterous to bring up an implementation detail of the standard library that has long been in the process of being fixed. CamelCase was deprecated a long time ago in favour of snake_case; what is left of CC is for backward-compatibility and will eventually disappear. This is all documented.

The standard library is not the language, it's much messier and suffers from all sorts of issues that have nothing to do with the language itself.

I think they do, but I'm not 100% certain.

I don't know how far you want to define "police state", but in general, SWATting won't be terribly successful here, the only police units with near-military equipment are special units like the GSG9, and while there's certainly racism, and also at least one probable murder (Oury Jalloh), our police doesn't regurlarly murder minorities.
