Looks very similar to Zig in terms of goals. I'm rooting for both, but it seems that Zig is ahead in terms of community. Would V have any benefits over Zig?

I think a "better C" is the biggest hole in the programming language world today. Rust doesn't do it to me, because what makes C great is that it's so simple, and easy to write a compiler for. Rust is a different class.
These are not all the same people. Is this pattern-matching or just bias?
the exodus is only among the poor/middle-class and that the immigration of the rich and high-earners is actually accelerating.

Is that supposed to make the groupthink better or worse? I suspect worse, as it's reducing the viewpoint diversity, as viewpoint is affected by socioeconomic status and livelihood.
Creating and evolving programming languages is a difficult task. It also takes considerable time to write a decent set of libraries and iron out most of the wrinkles before it can be used in production.

As more people move into programming, we're bound to see more languages on the horizon. I wonder what the most popular languages will be, say, 10 years from now?

I'm personally looking forward seeing one language reach maturity – Pony – https://www.ponylang.io/

It's not about what I would say, it's about how a dominant undertaking is defined under EU law. Which isn't just "ah that makes sense" as it's basis. There are legal statutes and court precedent that must be argued to prove the definition of the relevant market, and then to prove that Apple is a dominant undertaking within said market. None of this has to do with my feelings about Apple or how "fair" they are being. I have zero knowledge of EU case law, so it's hard for me to make a definitive, sourced argument here to answer your question. I just don't think it's such an open and shut case of market definition NOR Apple's dominance.
So, wait...the theory, then is to have...breakfast?

You're wrong, I agree with most of their opinions. I don't like the way they present them with appeal to emotion, speculation, and opinion woven into their reporting. It's unnecessary and a turnoff to those who don't share their opinions who might be otherwise swayed by the facts.
Happy beta customer for almost a year. The only problem I have experienced is that that the roaster might take a variable amount of time to actually send the beans, so there is always a slight possiblity to run out, which is especially bad on Sunday since USPS don’t deliver and consumption is the highest during the weekend.
Wow. They've even had incidents with 737s since the fatal crash.
He basically spends a week in VR, though allowing himself a passthrough - which is, from what I gather, a video stream from a camera within(?) the headset that allows him to "see" his room.

He does various games and activities and interacts with people through various chats. He has his peaceful moments and energetic ones, such as working out, but grows bored and lonely by the end of it.

Interesting to think if there were more immersive/interesting things to do within VR would he have felt the same way? Or at least not as quickly?

The things that you listed are scientific achievements. What I pointed out was human behavior, power struggles etc. These are two different things.

How to Watch Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s Keynote Monday at GTC
Compared to earlier periods in history, us stock market prices have been very high for past few years. this doesn't necessarily mean us stocks are overvalued -- maybe all alternative investments have similarly high prices, or equivalently, low yields. But, lots more room for stock prices to go down in future than to go up.

Ignoring hand waving comments about market prices, re: us economy, arguably we might be about to see an upward trend in the unemployment rate, which is a leading indicator of recession, although perhaps part of the increased unemployment in the last published statistics was caused by the government shutdown.

>Computers should never overrule manual controls.

I disagree. I've got all kinds of examples were on conventional cable/hydraulic control to control surface aircraft a pilot can overstress the airframe, break it, and crash. If a computer were to exactly know the normal flight envelope, and always proscribe inputs that lead to certain death? I'm all for that. And what does manual control even mean with fly-by-wire airplanes?

>If the autopilot is on and the pilot makes an manual adjustment to the yoke, the autopilot shuts off.

That isn't how it works since the simplest roll only autopilots appeared. It seems a reasonable argument that a single pilot should be able to overpower the autopilot long enough to disable it.

>They should have designed the MCAS system to recognize when the pilot was fighting it and to disable itself.

Unproven. Could be true or false.

Boeing has a different design philosophy than Airbus whereby they include the pilot as integrated into system design, as the primary means of determining system failures. I have no inside information, however I can imagine that MCAS is intentionally designed to only accept one sensor input for two reasons: it's simpler, and you get a fast fail in the form of what appears to be runaway trim for which there is already a procedure to follow.

I have two concerns with this though:

a. The reported optional pay for (?) "aoa disagree" feature which does no decoupling of MCAS, but informs pilots when the alpha vanes disagree. I think that should be standard, not optional.

b. MCAS silently disabling itself is potentially very dangerous even if the 737 MAX required a separate type rating, but it's possibly a great deal worse given that it does not require a separate type rating. MCAS is the thing that inhibits the natural stall behavior of the MAX, a natural stall behavior the pilots aren't trained to recognize or mitigate or recover from because they aren't supposed to get anywhere near this portion of the flight envelope - it's why MCAS exists. Take away MCAS and now its an open question whether the pilots are properly certified for that aircraft or whether the plane is not airworthy, suddenly while in-flight.

So when I asked "What will that let you do?", the only "benefit" you-can-think-of is the possibility of switching from editing code in visualnc64.im to editing code in quad.im without a mouse-click?

No, that would not be enough to make anything work. What I can think of is an IDE that had access to all the VMs running and some plumbing for the VMs to communicate. I would love to be able to spin-up Smalltalk VMs so I can simulate a full system on my desk. Having separate IDEs running means I don't have any integration so I have to debug in multiple different IDEs when tracing communications. I can imagine some of the debugging and code inspection that could be extended to look at code running simultaneously in multiple VMs.
The system would have to account for both property size and number of people. Maybe only count non-built land plus people, so folks who have townhouses with no yards pay less than a SFH with a huge lawn.
I believe you are looking at XXH64 and XXH32, which is the old version. The new version XXH3 is located in https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash/blob/dev/xxh3.h which exposes the public prototypes `XXH3_64bits()` and `XXH3_128bits()` (and variants with seeds).
No, I have not written a GUI in Rust yet. I've been doing libraries and CLIs so far.

But I find the standard approaches to GUI broken: inheritance and shared mutable state. i think Rust does a service by highlighting the brittleness of this pattern via syntax / libraries.

I've not dealt with elm-like GUIs. Probably my natural inclination would be to use an actor framework. And to be clear, I am speaking from having written non-trivial GUIs with both GTK and Qt (I miss the Maemo days).

I guess the idea would be to recruit people to move to Miami since there isn't a big tech scene there already (I think there is an Oracle office and maybe Univision has an office?). I've only vacationed there but would gladly take my current pay and live there over west coast. The education/machismo problems at least shouldn't affect a business much since you are probably unlikely to run into those hiring tech people, that's more of an out-of-work thing. One of my best friends is from Miami and the main gripe he has is more the conspicuous consumption (often funded by lots of debt) - again, shouldn't be much of a problem.

But, the grass is always greener I suppose. When I've visited I stayed in nicer places (Brickell, Miami Beach) than I could likely afford year round + just generally engaging in more fun activities than working. I do think lots of people like me would be more than willing to take a West-coast level salary to live in Miami instead though, at least for a few years.
I am aware of fires both last year and this year. I am not aware of fires on a production line on a weekly basis. That claim is simply an absurdity.
Regarding Serbia, when you lose the war and are a sardine you have zero options. US, China and Russia on the other hand, can pretty much do what they want. (Plus, Serbia committed massive war crimes, pure and simple, with no other explanation.)

Why would USA want some UN bureaucrats investigate them, when they can choose the other option? Would you want anyone investigating you if you had a choice? NOPE.
I tried the podcast but it was worse than their publications. The episode I listened to started with a poorly done parody making fun of Trump. That's not journalism.
Exactly.

Which is also why the cryptographic voting systems cannot protect voter privacy. Those systems require hash collisions to hide your ballot in the herd of ballots. But the combination of precinct size and complicated ballots means any particular ballot is utterly unique (no hash collision).

I'd be far more charitable towards crypto advocates if they also specified the conditions required for their system to work correctly.
Great idea and so many options as a business going forward! Just randomly was listening to you on Invest Like the Best today. I have an Airbnb listing that this service would be great for. Looking forward to hearing how your business evolves and grows in the future!

Depending on the amount of communication needed for being efficient. I work 10+ years in a Rendite First organisation and there are regular times where I think "damn, discussing this over the water cooler, while running into each other, would be more efficient" than a chat exchange or setting up a video/phone conf. Of course on the plus side I have the uninterrupted working hours, where nobody walks in to me and flexible hours to arrange my life and the tendency to not fully separate private and work which easily leads to free overtime ;)

The article gives some insight. For example, to quote:

Should it forward the "ANY" query to authoritative?
Should it respond with any record that is already in cache?
Should it do some a mixture of the above behaviors?
Should it cache the result of "ANY" query and re-use the data for other queries?

Pair that with inconsistent implemented behavior.

You know how kids used to pass paper notes in class? Well, yesterday I learned that kids still do this. Except now they do it through the comments and review section on Google Docs. Shared Google Docs that they are supposedly taking notes on for class, or collaborating on an assignment. And if a teacher or parent comes by, they hit "resolve all", and everything disappears.

Purpose is mutable.
They are amazing.

I understand that what I said was possibly ambiguous, but I was not actually suggesting to someone that they should get cancer. I was 'bookending' a story that they were implicitly telling, in an attempt to point out that "going for your dreams" can easily run off the rails due to circumstances out of your control, and that a reasonable person might rather spend their efforts building a safety net for themselves, so that they will be able to go after there dreams without worrying so much about such matters.

Unfortunately, the more effort I seem to put into a post, the less effort others tend to put into reading it, so we all walk a fine line between precision and conciseness, and sometimes we end up on the wrong side. I don't take it personally.

First: Given the amount of money that we're talking about (the amount of the pension deficit), I don't think that just taxing the rich is going to cut it if we need to remove the money from the system. It's going to reach down at least to the upper middle class.

Second: Taxing the rich is extremely popular among the people, but not so much within Congress. This may be because the rich are Congress's constituents in a way that the rest of us theoretically are, but in practice aren't.

Third: For this to work, Congress needs to raise and lower taxes, not based on the popularity of taxes, but on the rate of inflation. Do you really trust Congress to make the right decisions at the right time? I don't. I trust them to make the popular decision, not the right one. ("Popular" perhaps more with the rich, but that's not the point. The point is, they're politicians, not economists. They're listening to what's popular, not to the economic data. They're going to mess this up. The Fed is politically independent for a reason.)

I will admit you have a point with the NY>Kentucky example. In that situation, the company may pay them the same, but if the company hires two equally talented devs, one in NY and one in Mexico, there will absolutely be a difference in their pay. If the dev in mexico moves to the US, their salary also goes up accordingly.
