My stance is that "the majority of C++'s semantics" can also evolve with time, and one of C++'s the core design philosophy is to make core as minimal as possible so that the language can be evolved by how people use it rather than how core language specification changes. Examples include robust implementations of Entity Component System, user-defined function classes and expression templates developed prior to C++11.

Moreover, COBOL story just reminds me that there are still many cases that code should be maintained forever, and there is no unicorns to solve all problems like a magic. RPC introduces performance and mental overhead. FFI is limited by performance/vague boundaries. Even in backend development, there are lots of companies switching back to monolithic application after trying microservices.
I am not sure we are disagreeing on much, but the 4 core i7 in my dev MacBook is a whole lot different than the dual socket, 56 core machines we run on.

Those numbers are skewed by the fact that BRK dramatically outperformed the index for the first twenty years. More recent performance has not been so stellar--and Buffet repeatedly says that the returns will be less the larger BRK gets.

You should read a bunch of the annual reports and decide if it makes sense to move any of your funds into BRK. If you decide it is a good idea, Buffet bought back stock when BRK.B was around $207 (you should probably research this to be sure), so anything under that is probably a good price. (Above it might be a good price, but we know that at or below was a good price in Buffet's eyes) as of 2018.

I don't have a whole lot of knowledge about the Australian industry, but I would think it would be similar in compensation to Canada (relative to US). So $110K seems quite high after ~4 years.

What allowed you to get to this point? Was there a general pattern that you noticed that helped you go from 40 to 110 in just 4 years? It's quite impressive actually. Was it being in the right place at the right time, professional growth from what you worked on, personal projects, negotiating hard when the offer was made?
This was really shortsighted. PHEV is currently the best technology. I think the push for full EV is premature for mass market. It works for niche cases like Tesla, but not something that can be truly mainstream.

With current battery tech and infrastructure, EV is a 50 mile technology. It has nothing to do with battery tech itself, doesn't matter how light or dense the battery is. The limit is infrastructure. 50 miles is about what you can charge with a level 1 charger overnight. Within those 50 miles EV is amazing, quiet, clean, it's clearly superior technology. And 50 miles is enough for a lot of vehicle trips such as getting groceries, going to school, commute to work, etc.

But imagine you have a 50 mile EV, how to extend the range to something everyone is used to, like 200-300 miles for road trips? There's two options, more batteries or an ICE engine. The problem with more batteries is charge time. It's not good enough right now. Even Tesla is 120kw, which is 30 minutes for 80%. And all other EV are far behind this and the charging network outside Superchargers is pathetic. Range anxiety was only part of the problem, slow charge time will be the bigger issue.

It will never be as fast as filling a gas car because that gets into the megawatt range. However, CCS spec can go up to 350kw. This would be good enough, 80% in 10 minutes. Still not fast as a gas car (which is about 5 minutes to fill a tank), but 10 minutes is ok. Combine that with a 300 mile battery, and it can be a road trip car.

There's basically no CCS chargers at 350kw and no cars that support that rate. EVs will get there eventually and replace everything (ICE, PHEV, etc.), but it's too early now. Also, there's a limit to worldwide production capacity for batteries. The amount of batteries in one Tesla could support 10 PHEV cars. PHEV is a bridge technology, but it's too early to abandon it. Now is the time when every car model should be changing to PHEV.
I'm right there with you on wanting a twenty year car. I'd be fine if it was twenty year chassis and powertrain with batteries rated at 7-8 years. The vast reduction in parts in an all electric car should make it feasible if car manufacturers wanted to build to that quality. Instead someone like GM or Ford will plan for obsolescence and do the math on how many debilitating or fatal injuries need to occur before a recall.

I'm still waiting on an all electric with battery and propulsion tech competitive with Tesla's but fit, finish and quality found in Honda or Toyota. That really will yield a twenty year all electric car.

I am an unfortunate victim of that situation (banks would lend in local currency but would lend in CHF).
It turns out banks didn't actually go and buy CHF to give you, it's just the way the loan was written as what ended up in developers bank account was local currency anyway.

So in that specific situation it was entirely possible for a gov to intervene without resorting to buying foreign currency.

Think of phev as replacing two cars. Before you had to have one gas car and one electric, for long distance and local trips, respectively. Now with phev you can have only one car that's a bit more complex.

> It's easier to make a specialized language than commonly thought. Though generally the trickiest part is creating appropriate tooling for things like source maps, debugging, etc.

Right. Maintenance, documentation, training, tooling, packaging, debugging, etc., of a DSL far outstrips its development cost.

When you use regular expressions to solve a problem, you have two problems. And regular expressions have (basically) well understood parsers, logic generators, and so on. When you use a DSL to solve a problem, you have N problems. Maybe that's much, much better than the alternative (query languages are particularly interesting), but people definitely shouldn't stop at "this was easy to make... what's the big deal?"
Completely agree. I bought a used Volt last year, and I love the car. Have all the benefits of an electric car, but I didn't need to make any electrical upgrades in my garage (on 110 volts/12 amps it charges in 10 hours), and I never need to worry about where to find a charger on long trips. I really think it's the perfect car for the vast majority of people with a 1-way commute of 20 miles or less.
Buy a Prius and carbon offsets until EVs advance further if you’re absolutely set on not wanting to fast charge when traveling and use a liquid fuel instead. Don’t demand a niche product that no one wants to build.

See page 42 of the source report. UBS and Munro predict a 33% reduction in battery costs due to broader industry pricing trends, with a further reduction of 10-25% on powertrain components due to economies of scale and technology improvements.

The report argues that the Bolt is already profitable on a contribution basis (sale price - cost of goods sold), meaning that GM make money on every Bolt they sell. What makes the Bolt unprofitable is the high per-unit share of R&D costs and depreciation due to low volumes - the Bolt isn't selling in sufficient quantities to recoup the cost of developing it and putting it into production. The Bolt can become profitable even if manufacturing costs stay the same, simply by selling more units.

Demand for the Bolt is substantially outstripping supply in Europe, because high fuel costs mean that pure EVs already have a lower TCO than ICE vehicles; It's likely that GM can achieve profitability simply by ramping up production, assuming that their battery suppliers can keep up with demand.

It depends on the work. A call center employee is paid for a mix of availability/responsiveness, and effectiveness on the call. Availability hours are lower effort and lower energy so can be stretched—-these are typically performed at lower levels of the call center tier structure. Effectiveness is most of the work at higher levels and in more sales-oriented call center/phone roles. Six hours of intense, non-stop problem solving and pitching on the phone is plenty and if there is some cost to allowing a less than good outcome on a call or opportunity, further hours can be detrimental and it may be better to have more people on shorter rotations.
I think it's worth demonstrating that more pedestrian approaches are insufficient before writing a new language. New languages can be worth the effort, but they are certainly expensive approaches, all things considered.

Let's say I spend $300 and countless hours growing an amazing garden of especially fragrant plants. Do you honestly think it should not be illegal for some random guy on the street to walk by and steal my lovely-smelling air by literally 'taking' a sniff? He put absolutely no effort into making that air as fragrant as it is, but gets to reap all the benefit, while I'm stuck paying the fertilizer and gardening bills.

I can understand (though I disagree with) the pragmatic arguments you could make for copyright and patents for incentivizing creation. I cannot understand your insistence on pretending that copying information is actually stealing. You can't even plead technical legal truth, as they are absolutely not conflated legally. But when push comes to shove, this argument seems to reach for some 'moral' truth that one 'deserves' to be compensated for one's labor proportionately to one's investment, which is ultimately applied no where else in our society, since it's just the labor theory of value in a funny wig.

Let's say a mother spends tens of thousands and countless hours raising a child who never calls or supports her in her old age. Is this illegal? Our society depends much more crucially on the free labor of mothers and fathers than on the R&D of any chip company, even in purely economic terms. Pragmatically, one could say that people just don't seem to need as many guarantees/incentives to have kids as they do to innovate, so it's more important to have state incentives for the latter, and a temporary monopoly on usage is a sufficiently time-tested incentive. I can sort-of understand that argument. What I can't do, is somehow pretend that anyone should care more about the efforts of innovation going unrewarded than of any of the other crucial efforts essential to our society, for which no one is ever guaranteed a dime.
I’ve spent tens of hours trying to create inputs which do this in an intuitive manner but I have always failed. There is always some edge case where it’s nearly impossible to determine user intent.
With typical use, the gas engine probably runs 20% of the time, meaning the rest of the time it's idle (stopped) and cool. So it won't wear out very fast. But I have to say that it's a cramped affair under the Volt's hood, and I'd hate to ever have to work on it.
Sniffing Out Parkinson Disease
Completely disagree. I have a Volt, and having a gas engine is not a "little benefit" to me. It's a huge benefit, despite the fact that one tank of gas lasts me about 6 months on average. I never have to worry about running out of electric charge and trying to find a charger, and I can go on long trips without having to worry about whether or not I have the range.
This is an example where it has an impact beyond just the name, too. A lot of people think the “satellite” imagery actually comes from satellites, and thus vastly overestimate the imaging power of actual satellites.

I can respect someone and consider them a friend without discussing, for example, my sex life with them. It's not a matter of respect necessarily. Sometimes it's propriety. Sometimes it's disinterest. Sometimes it's insensitive to dig into certain subjects with that particular person. Sometimes it's a time when they have bigger needs than I do and I'd rather not focus on my problems when I'm around them.

There is such a thing as discretion. It is healthy. Even with friends.
hopefully this won't lead to another bailout
It's a document describing "illegal" ways of putting bricks together, which means that they are not for the designers of LEGO but amateur (as in non-official builds) builders as they are usually not as strong and using the bricks in a way not intended by the design.

Edit: if you read through the posted documents of the "Legal vs Illegal" ways of putting bricks together, some of them have description of why it's considered illegal.

For example:

"Both ends of a Technic hole are larger than the diameter in the middle. Until it ‘snaps’ into place, the half-peg is in compression and could be permanently damaged over time. Also, by not being locked into place, the element can easily pop out during play."

Edit2: actually, now when I read it again, it does seem to be a document for official LEGO designers (from LEGO designer Jamie Berard) about how to NOT design the sets. Sorry for the confusion.
Here's a simple example, showing how "doesn't react with" doesn't imply "doesn't interact with": CO poisoning. In the normal course of things, hemoglobin in our blood binds O2 in our lungs, and releases it downstream. But if we breath CO, it also binds to hemoglobin. Very tightly. A lot more tightly than O2 does. So eventually, there's too little free hemoglobin for carrying O2. And we die.
This is pretty awesome. A lot these are pretty intuitive and the satisfying "click" is definitely something a child can understand.
Which is why I also said that we need to evolve our thinking towards replaceable systems. As systems grow, the pace of innovation slows as it becomes cumbersome to make changes, and the barrier to entry into the code base rises. With that in mind, we are well served to replace programming languages as a means of maintaining constant velocity in our development.

I don't claim that existing systems are easy to replace, but I do posit that they can be made replaceable given that certain practices are adopted, and the mindset of the developers is that they system should be easy to remove and replace.
of course it needs to be done right

Correct, at least from my anecdata. Worked for GM in 2010 on drive-by-wire and safety tech for EV:s, but soon quit in disgust. Management had zero drive or vision to make EV’s a reality, and would rather just pump out more gas cars.

There's a very nice FOSS software emulator called SetBFree. The gui interface is a little goofy, but for real usage you would connect a midi keyboard controller anyway.

Yes. It's not just military bases.

As a kid I figured out the perpendicular connection trick, the height of a “1” tall (flat plate kind of) piece is the same as the width between two pegs, so you can wedge em in there for neat reasonably sturdy perpendicular connections.

I' don't think that we should force C++ to be something it's not (which has been a monumental task), and C++ will never remove its shackle to C compatibility. Moreover, languages are also defined by what they do not have, and this is very different from the current mindset of fixing C++ by adding "missing" features. Languages like Rust or Go that are designed from the ground up for a focused purpose look and feel starkly different from a garden like C++.

It's also unfair to dismiss RPC or FFI, which have come a considerably long distance, and in many cases add no noticeable overhead. Today's networks are now approaching 400G speeds, and Linux has added considerably more interfaces such as eBGP bytecode that rewards a cross language mindset with better performance.
I heard about it when it first came out and frankly the name itself was a turnoff. I had no idea that they were selling so many. Maybe with some better branding it could have done better in the market.
