HOAs are NIMBYism incarnate.
Of course, but I think most of the things they state about Apple playing dirty sound true.
Hey - I am thrilled to hear about your positive experience with interning strings. I never actually did a performance test, so I am delighted to hear your gains were substantial.

As for you questions about performance on bigger source files and twiddling optimization options, I too am curious about that. I will likely revisit those questions at some point in the future. It will be easier to do once I have baked these diagnostics into the compiler.
Meanwhile, the US has worse and far more expensive healthcare than all of those "socialist" European and Asian countries. But don't let the facts get in the way of your opinions.
Because when the iPhone came out it was very expensive but significantly ahead of competition.

People paid for it, even people who couldn’t afford it found a way to pay for an iPhone

The huge cash burst into Apple meant everyone was scrambling to deal with them.

Then economies of scale, negotiating leverage with third parties and sheer momentum propelled them
I'm not sure exactly what chain of ideas leads to a conjecture like that, but I can tell you what actually happened. First, a bunch of users flagged the submission. Second, a moderator penalized the submission as not intellectually interesting.

Since the moderator was me I can tell you with high confidence that the moderator's decision was based on superficial pattern matching and did not involve any evaluation of corporate comfortableness. Also the idea of doing that nauseates the moderator at least as much as it does you.

That’s convenient. They’ve made other agreements with police departments to provide guest information at particular locations. This sounds like a way to prevent being subject to such shenanigans.
I agree with both of you. Frankly we need to all pick a day and on that day everybody change their settings so their OS reports sizes in base 10. Not gonna happen but that's what we need.

Not following. There are many threads on the front page throughout the day. My usual MO is to read and comment on what I find interesting, not the converse.

Seems to me like you've kinda cherry picked scribes. Among other reasons why that doesn't really apply here, could be pointed out that scribes as a profession evaporated HUNDREDS (thousands?) of years ago, so I hardly see the direct analogy to modern life. There are plenty of examples that are more relevant.

Take metal working. Or, coal mining. Post-industrial revolution during the "boom" of the early 1900s, metal working was seen as the end-all of careers. Everyone needed to "learn to work metal!". In fact, it was pushed so much as the best career, that it became integrated into the educational system (shop). It was believed that everyone needed to learn to work with metal.

What has that done for the industry? Honestly, can you look at the metal working industry, or the coal industry, and tell me that they (or us?) are better off because of it being integrated into our educational system. We could probably argue all day about whether or not that was a smart move for mankind, but one thing is for sure - all those people ended up with depressed wages as two effects took hold - over supply of workers locally, and cheap labor abroad.

Similarly, I think we can debate all day about whether or not everyone knowing how to code is going to be a good thing. I don't think I have the same perspective as you on that, but neither of us can really make a definitive statement of fact. We can probably both agree however, that software faces the same destiny as other professions which went through the very same life cycle.
As a matter of principle, most public companies object against all shareholder ballot initiatives, and then recommend against them in the proxy statement. It’s just generally believed to be poor practice to let annual meetings turn into a general election on how to run the company.
Or you could have a more nuanced perspective... Maybe computer science should remain where it belongs - higher education.

Not everyone and their mother needs to "learn to code".
Can someone explain this Starbucks obsession to me?

Both their raw espresso and the filtered coffee taste like absolute dogshit to me. (I can stomach the milk based drinks as it masks the actual coffee though.)

I'm not a coffee elitist either, I can drink Canadian swill (timmies) and just about any corner store brew, instant packets... Whatever. Just not Starbucks.

The absolute best I've found at a chain by a mile is McCafe but I've never heard an American mention it. Is McDonald's trash in the states? Is Canadian Starbucks different?

Hi, Not the maintainer of the above library, but this seems similar to a reverse engineered library for a couple of other chinese wifi quads.

Someone created a chrome app for their specific model a couple of years ago, and their notes are available here [1]:

> The commands are simple 8 byte packets sent continuously over UDP.

> The drone creates an unprotected wireless network and streams live video to an android or ios app named 'RC-Leading' (there are dozens of near-identical apps from the manufacturer)

> The drone's IP is always 172.16.10.1

> I've captured the communications between the drone and app and there seems to be several rounds of back and forth of ~100 bytes worth of non-intelligible data over the TCP 8888 port before the video streaming begins (I assume this is some kind of app level handshaking)

> It streams unencrypted video over TCP port 8888 (I can view video frame info using ffprobe on captured packets)

So you're successfully applying 2nd level order thinking on your job. Other's don't do it. You're working towards your goal. Achieving your 2nd level order thinking successes.

But the rest of your colleagues don't understand what you're doing. They don't see your vision. They live in the 1st order thinking world. To them your choices don't make sense. They don't understand how the successes came from the 2nd level choices.

They'll say: "Why are you eating a salad? You're hungry! Take a chocolate bar! It has much more calories so it will better solve your problem."

You try to explain. They don't get it. They wave it off like some ridiculous story.

How can you effectively sell your 2nd order thinking ideas to 1st order thinking people?

No, I'm saying that there is no way to encode even such a simple property as 'addition of two numbers produces a bigger number' in the type systems of most languages out there (including stuff like the ML family), which is probably why (non-dpendent/linear/other advanced) type systems have never been shown to improve program correctness the way other formal techniques have. Even simple type systems help in other ways (ease of development, documentation, performance).

I think this is a big issue with voice-controlled UIs generally.

This point was really driven home to me when I lived in Las Vegas for a stretch.

Again, slow is relative, and JS is slow relative to WASM. That should be obvious, but here's a source.[0] A demo working smoothly does not mean that a language is not slow compared to another. Besides this point, there are some very processing heavy tasks that we're throwing in browsers these days; this demo is not representative of everything we expect browsers to run. And if you read the other comments here, some people were having lag issues with the demo anyway.

I'll add to my previous: everybody at the company works for a salary. In the US it's essentially illegal to volunteer for an organization that is not some kind of 501(c), and in California it's illegal not to pay everybody at least minimum wage, so let's stop joking: nobody is working for free, and any employee taking minimum wage (or $1/yr) is wealthy already.

I don't have patience for the, "oh they had a salary so they're whole." BS, everybody is working to make things better, and if the leadership of the company is not helping their employees get a chunk of the back-end then they are bad bosses. To me it's ethically related to not tipping in a restaurant.
Indeed, you get high quality in context cards, something that is still missing from most Anki decks.

In other words, "Anyone who reads something into him that I don't like, doesn't understand him properly."

Which is a well-known logical fallacy. Look up, "No true Scotsman."

Back in the real world, people who read him, thought they understood him, and didn't agree with your interpretation, proceeded to literally kill people by the millions. Justifying it by what they understood him to be saying.

I have no particular reason to trust your interpretation over theirs. And when it comes to my best judgment, I find him wrong again and again. So I don't really care which interpretation I'd find more palatable.
To be fair though, even Newton's equations have flaws from a pure mathematical physics standpoint [0].

The problem is that certain classes of initial conditions produce infinities. The obvious case is for particle collisions, where gravitational attraction grows without bound in finite time. However, it turns out that similar infinities can arise even if particles don't collide (cf. Xia 1995).

Infinities from colliding particles aren't seen as such a big problem, because they require impossibly precise initial conditions, i.e. the initial conditions sit on a measure-zero set in configuration space.

AFAIK, the jury is out on whether we can say the same about non-colliding singularities. It seems reasonable to susept that's the case, but if not then Newtoian gravity alone would be demonstrably broken even in the math.

The thing is that if they didn't shut down the nuclear reactors they could have shut down more coal plants. Doing so would be more environmentally friendly. And I doubt there's any serious academic that would disagree. Shutting down coal before nuclear.
The #1 toxicity factor at work
The issue is not that software development in finance in sucks, this particular job is likely not a good fit for you.

Now, as you said, this is your first full time job. My first full time job after college was also in development, for a military subcontractor of all places. And I hated every second of it. We had floating hours, which we could use to build up overtime to take additional days off. After about 9 months, when I finally quit, I had accrued negative 90 hours (over two weeks of work I had missed)!

Sometimes it is not a good fit. It can be the environment, your colleagues, the actual job, or even the industry. In stead of droning on here, maybe you can start looking for what would make you happy professionally?

> take a proved reactor design and mass produce them.

This is the tricky part. The key word is "proved". Currently that means an actively running reactor that is part of the power grid. But that clearly means there can be zero innovation, if we're considering that research reactors can never be considered "proved". Even if they have been running for years. But that's only a small part of the problem, even though this is usually pointed out as being a big part of the problem. It is convoluted.
It’s clickbait for reductionists
I just started looking at Rust and I’m extremely excited about it so far. Knowing the struggles of C, as I’m sure you do, you will appreciate the abstractions for memory safety.

Rust has a similar execution speed to C, but has memory safety. It’s able to accomplish this by having a thorough compile time type check, i.e. a lot is checked at compile time so you can still get extremely fast execution speeds.

Another very different recommendation is Clojure, which is a Lisp based on the JVM. You get all Java libraries, plus an amazing functional language that is very elegant to write code with. Plus Lisp will change the way you think about object oriented programming big time.

Elixir seems interesting since it’s functional and runs on the Erlang VM.
I'm just saying the logic doesn't follow. Given the claim does not necessarily require the opposite to be true. I don't actually know much about this perl being paint splatter and why that even makes sense.

The credit card issuers will happily allow recurring credit card billing (like a gym membership) to automatically continue on a new card after the expiry date, CVV2, and even the card number change. They'll do this without asking you, the card holder. They'll do this even if you refuse to allow the billing to continue on the new card. The only way to get out of a recurring payment is to (a) get the vendor to stop it, (b) claim it as fraud (the card issuer may still take the vendor's side), or (c) to close your account with the credit card issuer and withdraw all your money from that bank. You'd have to withdraw all your money because otherwise they'd take it directly from any account you have with them; this is their right of "set of" as written into every credit card contract.

Someone else in this discussion said the practice of allowing the vendor to continue billing your new card is known as "card refresh". It's cool to learn the correct term for that.

Recurring credit card billing is a horrible thing when it goes wrong.

People with low education levels can show you how to build all sorts of things that go bang. Someone with an engineering background could vastly improve on a lot of designs. If you could make a small, lightweight projectile weapon that can be 3d printed then you have what you need.
