Hey hey, calm down a little.

I use rust a lot, and it’s been heavily geared towards nightly for a long time.

The whole rust nightly/beta/stable hasnt worked well, because (afaik) the beta usage is tiny and people tend to jump on nightly or stable. It’s only very recently any effort has been made to change this for the new edition.

...so, you know, the comment may not be entirely accurate, sure, but it’s our fault people have come away from rust feeling that way.

The OP is not at fault here, and definitely not, I think, willfully lying.

Take a deep breath; there’s no need for this sort of attitude, and frankly it reflects badly on the rest of us (rust users).
That's not how real life works. For most people it's exactly the clock on the wall that determines when they go home and have dinner.
I use Plain TeX for typesetting, and it is good. (I don't use LaTeX. I think Plain TeX is better. And, for making fonts, METAFONT is better.) But to render TeX documents you will need to implement TeX. (You could, however, implement a TeX macro package that you can then use the same input for multiple kind of output.)
Given that it's supposedly some scroll-wheel related input issue, I suspect the vote is being changed to the next entry on the list in a particular direction. That potentially fits with Democrat votes being changed to Republican ones and Republican ones to no vote at all, which is what people have been complaining about.
A human thinks about the smartphone as a whole, drafts it up and builds it [slightly simplifiedly].

Old cities started as settlements, which more and more people moved to. Those people considered things like walking distance. Maybe they "designed" the places to put their homes, but the thing as a whole was in many cases not planned-through.

And even with the cities that were, pedestrian comfort was the main (or one of the main) concern(s).
The browser still needs to recognize it as text/html. I use Markdeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/) and to get Chrome to auto-render locally I need to hard link to a name with a .html extension.

Also, it doesn't technically need to be a preamble. Markdeep works by appending similar code to the end, which is much more innocuous when viewing the file outside a browser or when its rendered by other software (e.g. on Github).
When CoC's exist to foster inclusivity, exactly which "contrarian opinions" are you feeling are being suppressed? That's it's OK to harass or exclude minority groups? I am not trying to put words in your mouth, but the purpose of a CoC is to create a constructive and progressive environment. A CoC is project wide, not internet wide. This is not an attack on freedom of speech, but providing a stable environment and refusing to give a platform to those who's views do not align with a project's. And a project choosing what views it wishes to platform is entirely within its rights.
A buddy of mine built his own RGB laser projector for about $400 back in 2013 or so, and got MAME to work with it. But the games typically try to draw too many lines for a laser projector to keep up with, so you either need multiple, and split up the lines among the projectors and carefully align the projectors. Anyway we learned that filming laser projections is hard, and doesn't look like it does in real life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2JKr-Vkz8A

Android is way more tightly controlled, uninstalling an applications scoped data is just removing a directory.

In Windows it's up to the app to clean up. It's not as great as *nix, but nobody is saying it was. Apt and friends just do the cleanup for the app, in a standardized way. If they miss something it's still there.
Everything looking the same is not that great. Though I do appreciate the clarity of possible moves.
Explanation: your comment was unnecessary hostile itself (“unprecedentedly stupid level”), and folks are following the time honored tradition of downvoting and moving along.

It really looks like you’re trying to pick a fight. It’s cool if you want enums. I miss them too. That’s not the problem here.
Religious doctrine has no place or purpose in the universe of software documentation.
Coercion is much more difficult to enforce in a public setting with private voting, however.
Yeah, I too gave information on what the website had previously and am getting downvoted. Not sure why.
I immediately asked myself the same question and I think it could happen like so:

The new tools available to law professionals will decrease the barrier of entry to the ecosystem.

The low level workers displaced by these new AI companions will decide that since they can't beat them, they'll join them.

A new "discount" class of lawyer will begin to emerge characterized by lower quality of work but also lower fees. Many of those low level workers will move to this sector and may even make more than they would in the current system.

These increased wages are eventually tempered back down close to their modern day equivalent again due to the decreased barrier of entry allowing other segments of the population to pursue Law as a viable career opportunity.

Law services, albeit on average lower quality ones, will become available to a greater portion of the population, particularly those with a relatively low income.

"Law Bootcamps" will shock the world just as their code predecessors did, but again keeping in fashion with the original ventures, they will be here to stay contrary to the Old Guard's cries of incompetence.

We will see a massive uptick in the number of lawsuits submitted. Looking at someone the wrong way will become an intolerable risk and everyone will choose to live out the rest of their lives inside so as to avoid having their money taken by the now rampant sue-happy racketeers terrorizing the outside word.

And thus The Great Potato Couch Famine of 2022 begins. An estimated 3,000,000 become so agoraphobic that they choose starvation rather than face the sue-apocalypse ravaging outside their doors.

Amazon steps in with food delivery drones and cybernetic surrogates programmed to follow every letter of The Law. People are able to avoid the scourge of the Famine and exert their influence on spaces outside once again all from the safety and comfort of their own homes.

Amazon's stock price soars to record shattering heights which they in turn pump into newer and greater AI technologies. On July 23rd of 2029, Alexa finally wakes up...

Space War was the very 1st arcade videogame I played, ever!
Such as the religious doctrine that you have just stated?
And a friendly reminder that people have known how to conduct themselves in a civil manner for at least 1400 years.
From looking at the source code they are using some mixture of these:

https://github.com/Maykonn/js-detect-incognito-private-brows...

https://gist.github.com/matyasfodor/15e8863ab15baf4791a5fa4c...

And FYI in Chrome it's very easy to just F12, Application tab, Clear storage in the left menu and "Clear site data" at the bottom on the right to get past all these "you've read too much" blockers.
The mutual exclusivity is valid. Being able to do stuff that requires a lot of time and doesn't make a lot of money (i.e. art) requires a low cost of living. Adding a bunch of people making $200k+ into a neighbourhood does the opposite of that, very rapidly and very predictably.
I would say that Tempest is even more of a true classic. It's immediately accessible even to today's audience.
On the contrary, these code of conducts are here to help everyone feel welcomed, and to allow everyone to have their differences (cultural or otherwise).

There's absolutely no reasons to fear anything if you are respectful of other people.
What religious doctrine? I never mentioned any God or the doctrine of any religion.

But, let me do so... "to everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under Heaven."

Software documentation is not the appropriate venue for Christian theology just as a church pulpit wouldn't be the appropriate venue for reading aloud the GPL license.
This is sad. It is clear that the SQLite creator's heart was with the previous version of the CoC, and that although the CoC was only obligatory for developers, other people from outside came and forced their politics on the owners of the project.
To clarify, the previous, and still linked from this page, document is not “some Christian bullshit” that the SQLite founders made up, it is a from a very old Christian text, as explained on the linked page. I do believe that adopting an actual code of conduct is a good move.
> For pure programming it's an unnecessary requirement/burden (unless you love maths). HtDP is better in that regard.

I disagree strongly on that assertion. The mathematics in SICP was what made it stand out for me, and what got me into programming. Other books I read before that just presented programming as an opaque thing where you follow instructions and write incantations without any rhyme or reason.

In general terms, the math-phobia that has been prevalent in computer programming for the past 20 years is a new phenomenon (I have not seen it in literature from the 1990s or earlier, or heard it from old-school programmers and CS people) and is at its core deeply anti-intellectual. An example of this dumbing down is the current crop of JavaScript "devs." This runs all the way to the semantics of the language: one of the most idiotic decision made in JavaScript is overloading '+' to concatenate strings. Commutativity? Associativity? Algebra? Get out of here with this math nonsense.
And movies. Every Pixar movie uses variants of the same faces which aren't really all that variable in their models so it really does seem like a character playing different roles. Would love to see this sort of work combined with the character pipeline such that not only could you generate a new 'face' you could generate the full expression pipeline as well so that the character can be brought to life.
That's a shame!

We do have problems with inner city parking reducing roads to single lane in London. But in more rural areas, you can just leave your car anywhere. The concern is thef, vandalism, collision, not enforcement action.

Which is nullified for the most part with a crappy old car. :P
Those are some really amazing results. I'm wondering when this shows up as an aid to Police sketch artists.
There seem to be a few standard ways to evolve to the next major version of a programming language:

(1) Announce the next major version to be far off into the future, and say it will be as backwards compatible as possible to keep developers supporting the old version, e.g. Go 1->2.

(2) Build next version to be a little different to current version, provide no facility for interoperating between versions, then expect developers to switch over because of the branding, e.g. Python 2->3.

(3) Announce next version to be far off into the future, and say it will be a totally different language and expect developers to switch because of the branding, e.g. Perl 5->6.

(4) Don't announce or build a new major version, and keep profiting from developers using the current version for as long as possible, e.g. Java 1.x.

(5) Announce next version to be very soon, but delay it for as long as possible with unofficial roadblocks and keep profiting from developers using the old version for as long as possible, e.g. Apache Groovy 2->3.
Is GPU rendering going to open up new security holes? If not, then how do we know it won't?

>Kids don't want toys, and hence we see Toys-R-Us disappear

Toys-R-Us died because the founder left, his successors couldn't keep innovating, they sold out to Bain and KKR, and then it was driven into the ground for margins.

It's not because "Kids don't want toys." You thinking kids don't want toys almost seems more like brainwashing than if kids actually didn't want toys anymore.
> With the pressure put on antirez

What pressure?
General raising of streets is not that rare. Churches that are lower than the surroundings are good indicators in Europe.
I think the HoC's that get me the most are the ones written by JS devs who think 100% functionally. Actually a lot of the hard ones to grok were written by Jason Miller of the Preact fame, who seems to think out JS in a minified, functional fashion. I've had to step through and re-write several things just to see what was actually happening, then pare it back to it's original form before I "get it". It's super clever, but man did it take me a while to distill it's logic.
The enum thing was just an example, that wasn't even the main point of my comment
Rhapsodic. Wow.
Why is that? Do you feel oppressed by not being allowed to harass other people based on gender/race/religion etc. when contributing to SQLite? Or is it having to be respectful in general?
I thought it was caused by a shortage of dopamine caused by a reduction in sun exposure.

Exactly. And because of that basic business incentives no matter how fast the hardware gets, we will always have software that is just fast enough to be barely bearable, but not a notch faster. That's why I'm depressed ;).
Medicare is $702bln/yr or $12,300 per recipient. Canada spends $3,000USD per capita and provides healthcare to everyone.

Think of what we could do with the $526.5bln that would be saved if US healthcare costs were brought back inline with other advanced economies.
>The web was always a rough place, but it was a place that allowed separate cultures with different standards to develop. Lately it feels like this is being actively demolished, where only places of anonymity (4chan f.e.) or banality (Facebook Comments) are used to discuss contrarian opinions.

The web has become mainstream, and the mainstream doesn't 4hcan to be the standard by which every social media platform is measured. That's not a demolition so much as an evolution, as much as some might not like it.

And there are still plenty of places on the web where contrarian opinions are discussed freely. Let's not pretend the entire web is just a few social media silos... even though there is still plenty of contrarian discussion even there.
You read me wrong, i said arithmetic/analysis. To encode, resolve a problem with a computer you need no knowledge of convergent square Root approximation (an exercise early on)

Mathematical approach is a plus to me toi.
The cities rebuilt after WW2 are actually the worst for walkability and overall pleasantness, though in part of course they incorporate elements of the original city and in some cases they've even been rebuilt exactly as they were. Luckily they're a small minority of all European cities, although many jewels are lost forever.
When I was a teenager I took a big dose of what I thought was blotter acid. I ended up with HPPD and ever since I have trouble looking at dark text on a white background. Sucks... I used to be a speed reader and now I'm maybe only a little faster than average.

My normal color scheme is a slightly modified 'desert' theme that comes with vim.
I've had high myopia since childhood and for me the effect hasn't diminished (comparing between my annual checkups). I don't know any reliable statistics for this, however, only anecdotal experiences and consultations with my various ophtalmologists over the years. Do note that I'm only talking about cases of high myopia (in the 6-12D range at least), I don't know if the effect is as perceptible to someone with better eyesight.
Indeed.

From their new statement:

> While we are not doing so in reaction to any current or ongoing issues, we believe that this will be a helpful part of maintaining the long-term sustainability of the project.

I respect the SQLite team regardless, but I have to feel somewhat cynical about this. I really hope that this wasn't because clients or donors threatened to stop doing business with SQLite.

They are not an "open to contribution" project, and the contribution team unanimously accepted the previous CoC months ago. It's not really clear to me how anyone who complained even had a stake in the outcome. If genuine discrimination were a likely outcome, that would be another matter, but as it stands anyone who read what DRH wrote could plainly see neither he nor his team had any intent to discriminate.
I suspect that when most organizations hire software developers, they're not really looking for great programmers. What they're really looking for is people who are capable of dealing with enormous complexity without getting confused. Those things might sound related, but I don't think they're the same thing. I expect that most software developers don't spend most of their time designing beautiful, elegant solutions to interesting problems; they spend their time blundering around in an over-complicated and poorly designed code-base using tools that barely work and trying not to trip over myriad corner cases or buried in technical debt. (Even in well-designed systems, you're often still dealing with mountains of technical debt inherited from the industry at large.)

Maintaining bad code is in a lot of ways harder than creating good code. Or at least, a person good at one of those things might not be good at the other.

I have a related theory that software development as a profession is starting to increasingly resemble being an air-traffic controller; as the actual programming parts get easier (languages, tools, and libraries get better, awful code-bases notwithstanding), the non-programming tasks tend to take up more and more time. So, you end up spending a lot more time talking to people and figuring out what to build.

Sorry you’re in pain. Your mileage may vary, and I’m not a doctor and all that, but one thing that has worked wonders in my own life is cognitive behavioral therapy.

You can get the gist of it in this chapter from “The Feeling Good Handbook”, which was written by one of the pioneers in the field:

That, and getting plenty of sleep.
It’s efficient which is great. The opposite is whimsy, which is bad.
Make it a federal crime for voting machines to be inaccurate and allow civil lawsuits about same. Budget a mandatory spend to investigate a randomly selected number of precincts after each election.

A main problem with voting machines is that they are a form of outsourcing of a government function which is critical to our society and our form of government. If we are to have machines, those producing them must be held accountable.
Sorry, what?

edit: to answer my own question: there are some rumors about candy manufacturers influencing legislators to implement dst after Halloween so more children would partake and they would make more money. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with Texas in particular and might not be true at all.

So does this mean that my preferred color scheme of light text on a dark background might be accelerating my presbyopia? I'm at the perfect age for it to start(43), but it sure seems to be progressing fast.

> The whole rust nightly/beta/stable hasnt worked well, because (afaik) the beta usage is tiny and people tend to jump on nightly or stable. It’s only very recently any effort has been made to change this for the new edition.

My impression was that most people feel the Beta toolchain is doing its job just fine, because most projects that use CI include a Beta test run. I don't think the plan was ever to have people using Beta on the command line as their daily driver.
> The areas within former city walls (where people used to live) have pretty organically developed to being inner city business centers for most larger cities.

Hmmm. I disagree. In (continental) Europe the historical city centres are still the place where people live. Business areas have generally been built outside the historical part, except for the case where inner cities where destroyed in WW2. Maybe that's what you meant?
The interesting thing about both your examples (Q3 and MMOs) is that both are games with no finish point.

I think that's not a coincidence, and it's not just about games. If you think about it, all forms of entertainment boil down to giving our mind a different world to inhabit for a while. It's pretty obvious with books and movies and theater etc, and with "traditional" games. But in a sense, the gaming board of something like Bejeweled is also a world, just a very simplified one. And stuff like social networks are also a world, the one that's built out of real people, but with its own set of relationships and problems and drama etc. All of this lets your brain "go elsewhere".

But here's the big difference. Some forms of entertainment engage in such world building to tell a story. But a story has its finale - once it is done, you leave the world it inhabits, and come back to reality. You can go back for another take, but the thing about stories is that the second time is not like the first. It's diminishing returns.

With modern - problematic - forms of entertainment, like MMOs and addictive mobile games and social media - the world is intentionally designed to be inhabited permanently. Worse yet, it's designed to be painful to withdraw from, even temporarily. There is no final line - there's no "game over, you won" in a MMO, or a happy (or sad, or any) ending of the Facebook drama. The people who make those things want it that way, because every minute you spend in their world, they can extract rent from you. With stories, you pay per story; here, you pay per hour.

Basically, social media and addictive games are the equivalent of a never-ending soap opera that's on 24/7. Imagine if something like this existed 50 years ago; do you think the effects would have been different? It's just that back then, it was not economically feasible. And now it is; and here we are.
Scantron doesn't allow for write-in candidates and it's very easy to design an unusable scantron form that's confusing and difficult to follow. Another issue is that often the scantron circles are small and too close together, making it difficult for people without fine motor control to vote: the solution is a form with much larger circles and spacing but that would be wasteful and inefficient for the majority of voters.
In what way does ⌘+ (Mac) or Ctrl+ (Windows) not satisfy your need? I prefer changing font size that way, because it's simple and works on every site, and I can change it depending on whether I'm using a big monitor or not.
