Technical people who are intrinsically motivated (typically the best and most productive people) often are the sort of people who find working with other high caliber people to be an important and highly valuable part of their work experience. When good people leave because the company isn't treating them well the result is a cascade effect, because every good person leaving makes the working environment worse. So more good people leave. Then for everyone left behind there's extra work and a struggle to reacquire lost institutional knowledge, and everybody finds that executing on projects is more difficult and results in less success.

Because of the nature of software development (no development cycle is ever really identical to the previous one) it can be difficult to conclusively or objectively say that the capabilities of the organization have been reduced, or that the working environment is poorer, because these things require subjective judgments. But many people have enough experience to make those judgments for themselves, to feel the organization getting worse and less capable, and this can create a kind of pressure for people to find other options elsewhere even if not everyone understands why on a conscious level.
Monitors/TVs are something I've had so much bad experience with, I pretty much always buy at a physical store over mail order of any kind.

Also, Prime's 2 day shipping doesn't mean nearly as much when a lot of products don't ship for 2-3 days after you order a lot of times now. I'm not sure if it's just gaming the system, but seems to be the case a lot these days. Not to mention co-mingling inventory makes me feel less certain on whole classes of items.
I think the implication is that it was a copy of ‘A Quiet Place’ which was a great movie. If you saw ‘A Quiet Place’ first ‘Bird Box’ was not great and left you wondering what all the hype was about.

"The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying." - John Carmack [1]

I saw the openmp pragma and thought to myself "neat! should be fun to watch the cores work hard at this" and went ahead and compiled and run it and smiled at the 400% cpu usage in top.

$ time ./tinykaboom
./tinykaboom 78.08s user 0.02s system 369% cpu 21.159 total

Then I wondered how it would fare if I were to port it to Go and went ahead and hastily did port to Go and thought that, "hmmm this should run a bit slower than the c++ version" but surprisingly it ran more than twice faster:

$ go build ./tinykaboom.go
$ time ./tinykaboom
./tinykaboom 34.32s user 0.03s system 368% cpu 9.315 total

My disappointment with newegg is they now are a store front for third parties a lot like Amazon, and it's an extra step to select newegg as the seller.
The "modules" feature documented on that page is Clang-specific functionality. The article is talking about the newer Modules TS, which is currently in the standardization process, and works completely differently. However, as to your specific question, both Clang modules and the Modules TS aim to support replacing #include entirely with module imports, including within a single project.
There's nothing inherently wrong with manipulating genes in farming. However, there are a bunch of misguided economics and motives that are problematic that lead to abuse of land at a very large scale.

Monocultures are a problem and having more drought or pest resistant crops is not a solution to industrial scale farming turning perfectly good farm land into desert.

Why is it that out of gazillions of species, most fish that we eat are on of just four species. Likewise, why do we have to rely on just a handful of crops for most of our grains and vegetables? This basically arises from the notion that with the technologies available to us mid last century, those were the easiest ones to industrialize. We fertilized and plowed land at an industrial scale, we dealt with pests using pesticides, and used GMO to make sure that our crops and nothing else would grow on the land.

Organic farming is a bit of a romantic ideal. It's basically an expensive way of small scale farming using our per-industrial technology to farm the good old way. The produce however, can be delicious; which (along with all the ecological feel good vibes) is why it is popular. Additionally, people are rediscovering foods that just haven't been in scope for mass production.

However, it's high tech cousin of sustainable farming by using land more smartly and using technology to monitor and restore soil in a data driven way is not naive. It works, it scales, and can be highly competitive and you get much of the same benefits as with organic farming. There is a lot of innovation in this space. Essentially, you can reverse much of the effects of destructive farming practices of the last centuries and create soil that produces high yield crops without relying on fertilizers, GMO, or pesticides. Turns out nature is pretty awesome when you guide it a little. Many farmers are discovering that they don't need to buy a lot of things from large corporations to grow stuff. If you manage the land right, you don't need fertilizers, pesticides, or indeed GMO.
It would be a "compelling explanation" if there was proof of their claims.

If there was proof of their claims, they should take it to the courts, not Twitter or Boing Boing.

It's an entrancing speculation, though.

Objects shine when they encapsulate complex state in ways that disallow illegal states to arise. The trouble starts once you try to add complex transformation processes (e.g. business processes) to objects. When they work on complex graphs of objects, you can't really put them into a single one of them as none of them is the obvious place.

What I found to work best is to build an OO data model and a (not necessarily functional) business logic layer on top. In pure OO languages like Java and C# this layer takes on singleton characteristics, which is a clear sign that this code should be simply procedural. The individual functions are often not very interdependent and easy to work on and test.

Once I encountered this curious recursion:'

Here sounds infinite loop maybe, but it should finishing calling each other (a calling b that calls a that calls b again...infinite...)

But when there is a Top maximum Parent that is the top of the parent child pyramid (like a html Body "div", I mean, the one that contains all others") It should stop...well

def a

self.insert //something to make it child of the parent, like a html structure maybe

b //call the second method, the b method below

end

def b

self.insert //same here, same logic//

a //call the first method, the a method above

end

thisHtmlDiv.a //crazy example

So the subject on which you call the method will be added in all the hierarchy chain of the parent child pyramid.
The "tech crowd" tends to implement what the business asks them to implement, like you said. In the case of security, fixing it is straightforward -- there's a large enough amount of fines for breaches where customer data was leaked to a third party where any company would either implement really good security or hire out to platforms that could do it. It's not easy, because there's not a lot of people in government who have incentives to make that happen.

Given a vector space V, form its top wedge power. This is one-dimensional. And endomorphism of V induces an endomorphism of the top wedge power. But an endomorphism of a 1-dimensional vector space is a number. This number is the determinant.

This is probably the correct generalization of the volume definition.
Phone number vulnerabilities include the unique vectors of:

- Someone porting away your phone number from your wireless provider

- The ease of confusion of a txt message asking you to send a generated OTP (e.g. you're more likely to forward a OTP generated from a SMS to another SMS, than you would from a TOTP generator)

- Wireless provider can theoretically read the message in transit (or backdoor code, whether from a gov't agency or a malicious actor acting on behalf of the wireless provider)

Those are just 3 I can think of off the top of my head...I'm sure there are more.
CLASH: an open-source tool to run bash scripts directly on GCP
Quit Facebook in November last year. Quit WhatsApp in 2017. Never really used Instagram. Sparingly use Twitter/LinkedIn, mostly for following super smart people in my industry. A heavy reddit user though (my mind somehow doesn't accept that reddit is a "social media").

I have never felt more better, both in terms of my mood and my mental health at large. My mobile screen time took a nosedive post quitting. I couldn't be more happier not knowing what 500+ of my "friends" are doing in real time.

As for managing digital life -- I now call/email some of my closest friends every weekend, and use SMS to communicate with members of my family every other day. That's about it.

Though it's been kind of tiring explaining to people the actual reason I quit these platforms (privacy/lack of trust on these big corps to safeguard my sensitive private data), I've realized that it is possible to still communicate well over email/phone call/text.

I don't have a personal website as of now, but I'm seriously considering building one -- mostly for acting as a 'first point of contact' when people search for me on the web.

Buy real estate with clean money. Raise rents frequently and rapidly; once the current tenants leave, have pretend tenants that pay with dirty money. Voila, clean rent money, no need to maintain the building.

Or buy real estate for some clean money, reported as the purchase amount, but also some dirty money, under the table. If you sell it, the you've got clean money for the difference between the reported sales price and the reported purchase price. You could even give the buyer dirty money to raise the sales price.

My takeaway from Netflix:

- None of the blockbusters are available,

Likewise flying cars. They have existed for several years; I saw one fly in 2013. But they cost at least $250,000, or (for newer electric models) they have ridiculously short runtimes. These drawbacks weren't part of the plan in bubbly 1960s predictions, and they're not going to be quickly overcome.
No, not necessarily.

Just because there is a paper trail doesn't mean there is a criminal consequence.

Money laundering is the action of obfuscating the origin.

The CRIME of money laundering is the action of obfuscating an ILLICIT origin.

So when the prosecuting government can't determine if the origin is illicit, they have no crime. A third state shell company sufficiently severs that link. And the money launderer gets money from the second state sent straight to the first state.

So Russian oligarch example:

First Country: Has illicit money in Russia.

Second Country: Wants to invest in liquid US market to clean money, and use money.

Third Country: Creates British Virgin Islands company.

BVI company has names on banking and brokerage accounts in any country it wants, with no name of the beneficial owner if this is what is desired. It can invest in capital formation in the US without "Russian Oligarch" appearing on any cap table.

BVI company wires money to US venture. New clean money is sent to the BVI company's accounts.

BVI company and Russian oligarch now has liquid cash which is usuable and reportable in US, Europe, Russia, wherever. It can be reported for US taxes, it can do whatever it wants.

Now back to the third country, why do we not care about the paper trail there? Well the BVI and other countries have no reporting demands. There is no taxing authority in these cases, these countries simply don't fund their public services this way, I know its hard to relate to but its also a great service now that other countries are less competitive. The BVI and other countries may have some form of information sharing agreement, but that comes with conditions too, such as their own standard of due process and probable cause, and there also isn't any information to share.

When people use words like "funnel money", there isn't anything sophisticated going on. This is as easy and clear as clicking a button between your checking and savings accounts.

The problem arises when you try to couple an OO language with a FP design (or vice versa). You end up leaving large portions of the language on the floor, and are constantly "inventing" ways to solve problems that you'd get for free if you just did things the way the language was built to do them.

The reality is we should be much more flexible with what languages we choose to solve problems, if we want the flexibility to best match our problems to the right design paradigm.

Failing that, it's better to go with one "kind" of programming, the one that fits the language. At that point, we're hunting consistency, not the platonic ideal of the solution.

Unrelated, but it seems like people here were sold OO as magical or somehow "easy". It's damn hard to get an OO design right, and if it's not working for you, it's probably you and not OO. You probably missed something, which is not only reasonable, but expected. That's where the experience, skill, and expertise come into play.

This has always been a problem in talking about modules in C++. Everyone has a different idea of what a module is.

Currently every compiler except MSVC plans to make module files version locked. Different versions of the same compiler will use different module files.

Personally I find little value in portable module files, as you need to be able to rebuild modules anyway to handle pretty much any change to compile flags.

I haven't used D, but in Haskell we have the same module name == file name thing. The only time I don't like it is when we have nested modules, the parent and children modules are not in the same directory:

import A -- compiler reads A.hs
import A.B -- compiler reads A/B.hs

Thus, two semantically related modules are now in different directories.

Python, IMO, handles this correctly by having __init__.py support inside directories. It's theoretically less elegant because of the special name, but in practice leads to better file organization.

Same for Rust, but even better, because one can define nested modules in the same file. So you can either define a new module in the same file, put it in a different file named by the module, or put it in the file `mod.rs` inside the directory named by the module.

Possibly hopeful, but the energy market in California is kind of a mess right now between the Community Choice Energy collectives, PG&E declaring bankruptcy, and SoCal Edison being snafu as usual. You need a lot of capital for nuclear, and with a fractured market, I don't know how it comes together. The only CCA with enough credit rating to attempt it is Marin Clean Energy, and I'm not trusting an area with that high of an anti-vaxxer population to consider nuclear rationally.

In other ways, the Democratic coalition in California is so big that they can afford to annoy one end of the base. But at the same time, pro-nuclear is not a natural stance for an administration trying to balance environment and housing development.

My perspective is as as a former meteorologist and climate scientist, and currently involved in the Democratic party. We're in such an oil town that the high school colors are black and gold, the birthplace of Unocal -- but people are so anti-oil here now that we'd love to make a switch. You know, as long as gas prices at the pump don't increase.

I've talked to enough people that I think the politics is doable but hard, but the capital man, I dunno. Maybe that comes from Bill Gates.
