That sounds really interesting. You should post later if you go through with your plan!
I fail to see where I was pejorative. I was confrontational, yes.

You are right on the clarity department.
>They are also more tolerant of high temperatures than neodymium based magnets.

Ooh, that's exciting. The nickel coatings on NdB magnets is nicely conductive, but they are difficult to solder to without destroying their magnetism.

One neat trick is that neodymium magnets seem to tolerate extreme temperatures better if you cover as much of them as possible with slabs of ferrous metal during the time that they are at an elevated temperature.
We're getting there. I made both node and web streams into async iterables, and have now proposed this for js standardisation: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers
The "1990s Computing Power" comment is ignorantly harsh. The MAX (to the best of my knowledge) uses a similar AMD29050-based architecture as the 777 (where it was pioneered) and the 737-800/900. It's amply fast and very very reliable, hardware and software (setting MCAS aside which is new to MAX).

Any sane person would prefer the solid well-proven choice over the bleeding edge. People used to make similar comments about the AGC and the Space Shuttle GPCs e.g. that such-and-such-a-PC-was-faster. Yeah, so what?
And you're ignoring the entire history of computing.

Which is that even incredibly smart, incredibly technical users will still click on random dialog boxes and open phishing emails.

I actually think this is a positive, as it provides one way of funding open source projects, while keeping them available to the community at large. But I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise.
I wish there had been stronger pushback legislatively for these two (and other) attributes of ISPs.
Where something is made definitely effects the quality. The cultural effect has a play in the equation but it's also the available resources. An assembly line tends to be similar to a clock. Any piece that breaks in the chain can cause the quality to suffer. Therefore, you need workers who can handle the system and also be "trainable" to grow a product.

As others has mentioned, a lot these techniques stem from Demings. Most agree that he had a huge role from transforming the quality of product manufactured in Japan (synonymous to China today) to the top tier quality they can produce now.

People study for years to be able to be good at root cause analysis and assembly process management. To get a good assembly line processing requires on honing in the details. For instance, the location of the workers relative to each other, where they hand off the parts in the line, and also the location and type of tools can easily effect your reject rate.
As a life long Mac user, if option 3 is removed i will be leaving for Linux.
Thanks! I don't think we should lose the braces. Braces help avoid mistakes when refactoring/copying/pasting code, and they make the language look more familiar to people coming from C-like languages, which I think are large enough advantages to justify having them.

I'm considering adding some meta-programming/reflection capabilities in some form, if they don't increase the complexity of the language too much. Lisp-style macros would be a possible approach, compiler plugins would be another. The latter approach might be easier to implement though.

A package manager will be out of scope for at least the near future, but long term it would be great to have one!

Re: owned pointers. I'd recommend that people look into more coarse grained memory management strategies first (e.g. arena allocation), and use one of those if possible. However, these strategies definitely have their limitations, which is where alternatives like owned/shared pointers could come in. However, to implement a "proper" owned pointer, e.g. an alternative to std::unique_ptr<T>, we would need destructors (which Muon will never implement) and move semantics (of which there is a chance that Muon _might_ implement it, but probably not anytime soon). With move semantics we can perhaps create a lighter weight owned pointer that is still useful; I'll have to experiment a bit to see how that would work out.
This is dangerous conjecture at best. I'm a little sick of reading that MCAS shouldn't exist.

MCAS must exist.

The flight regime where MCAS would need to act should be exceedingly rare. The bug isn't that MCAS exists. The bug is that there is a failure in the code/inputs to the system which allow it to trigger in regimes where it shouldn't.

I think of this every time someone acts like U.S. healthcare is a market in any positive sense: our son had his first birthday before we got the last hospital bill (they were hoping we’d gift them money beyond their negotiated rate with our insurance company) while nobody I know from another country has ever had any experience with that.
No. The amount that gets donated to politicians is peanuts compared to the DOD budget. Even if you counted all lobbying by defense contractors, it still would be peanuts.

You do have half a point, though, because the lobbying leads Congress to fund projects that, if one were trying to efficiently run a military, one would not fund.
I struggle to understand why you would want to use it instead of array orientated languages like R, Julia, Matlab or Python/numpy.

I don’t see how that addresses what I said. I didn’t just look at the most upvoted comments. I looked at all of the top-level comments. Not one of them was as you said.
Edit: Just confused myself, comments are // and multiline literals are \\. Thanks to laszlokorte for catching my mistake!

Zig claims very proudly it is about clarity but shortly into reading through the documentation I already found this extremely surprising:

"Multiline string literals have no escapes and can span across multiple lines. To start a multiline string literal, use the \\ token. Just like a comment, the string literal goes until the end of the line."

I could not have tried to make a more confusing token for multiline string literals if I tried. The difference between a string literal and comments is literally whether or not the lines are preceded by an open =.

Tack onto this you’ll have eras of better and worse regulation and privatization (with the accompanying emphasis on profit over all else), depending on which parties are in office.

That was Samuel E. Clements, not Samuel L. Clemens, and Whitman wasn't involved; he was just an apprentice for Clements at the newspaper Clements edited.

Clements did succeed at digging up the grave, but apparently the mold and busts were destroyed during an argument over money.

Doesn’t this dilute the value of your electoral college if they are bound by the national popular (plurality) vote? I’m not sure I agree with local votes being beholden to the national results.

Doesn’t this kind of make complete landslides even more possible? Reagan I think almost had a complete victory but for one state which went for his challenger.

In any case the campaigns will be forced to run in like four states, CA, TX, FL and NY. The rest will be bystanders, no?

Ah, ok, I think I see what you meant.

At least as far as I've seen, this is roughly the same general alarmist, sensational tone that you'll see in NYT's articles about the (very real) dangers of tech in the West.

> Should I ignore manipulative writing

Hard to, these days. Most news is manipulative, most news is slanted. We're all kind of stuck trying to extract facts from the morass of spin, and form our worldviews based on that. And of course it's fine to point out manipulation as you see it -- I apologize for calling that despicable.

But: reread that sentence you quoted. It's not talking about the "mundane event" of checking an app in the morning. It's telling you about the noteworthy trend of a state-run media in a fascist country celebrating such mundane habits. The NYT is calling out "stilted language" and "manipulative writing" as it were, albeit indirectly and without direct citation or translation, so it's the NYT's word against the People's Daily's. Whom do you trust more? (I'm as disappointed as the next guy in the NYT these past few years, but I really hope your answer to this question isn't a false equivalency).
Sort of makes sense. Android is generally a mess and hasn't really added much of value over the last 4 years. Whereas iOS has had huge yearly updates with actual features.

Plus, iMessage is a huge draw. Android has what, 5 messaging apps?

>...That is true, and established now, but in the early days of VHS rental, it wasn't so clearly established, and the movie studios did issue high-cost tapes that came with public performance rights.

I don't think that is right. The first sale right is a limitation of the copyright holder's distribution right. This right was first recognized by the Supreme Court in 1908 and was clearly established by the time of video rentals. Video tapes were initially priced very high as the studios were selling to the rental stores, but eventually the studios simply found they could make more money selling copies to individuals and the prices came down.

> I moved from Denmark to the US, and I pay around $400 in health insurance premiums (health, eye, and dental) for a whole family.

My health alone is $2,100/month for a family of four. I suspect your employer is paying a large portion of your premiums as a benefit.

This is quite common in the US, and a significant portion of the problem, as people think they're getting great insurance "cheap". They're not - it's just being paid in a way that's not visible. As a result, any discussion of "it'd be cheap to implement national healthcare, it'd only cost $X" is met with "but I pay peanuts for mine now!"
I can see how it is difficult for women to empathic about the situation. Due to the asymmetry in dating as outlined elsewhere in this thread and proven with loads of data the average guy has little success with online dating compared to the average women, giving you little opportunity to appreciate the challenges many men face with a very basic need.

Those curious messages in your inbox are not just as your personal trouble (why don't more suitable mates show up?) but also as a symptom of a changing society that sees growing individualism, stratification, weird one-way relationships with social media and much more... and that all of this produces many losers that no one gives a shit about.

Dropping the floppy on the iMac was an easily solvable annoyance for most people who were annoyed. Get an external and plug it in, once and you're done.

Bluetooth has pairing, interference, and latency, and for headphones, another thing to charge. A dongle on a portable device is a bigger deal than on a device intended to stay in one place.

I think this is a good idea -- however, in my experience 90% of the issues with Jrs is they don't yet know how to ask questions. So much of mentoring involves finding ways to encourage them to speak up. Once that's achieved then the amount of work required to get them up to speed feels much less steep. Further, teaching Jrs how to communicate is largely a company culture issue where openness is a given. Lacking that, with even the best mentor the Jr will struggle.

It makes the electoral college redundant, which it is intended to do. This is a work around instead of a constitutional amendment to remove the electoral college because that would be very difficult.

Landslides aren’t a bad thing if that’s what people want. I’m not sure why you phrased it as if they were.

The ideal would be for national popular vote using an instant runoff system (single transferable vote or ranked choice voting).

In lieu of that the next best is plain first past the post with popular vote which this would gives when it reaches the required number. Now that way no matter where you live in the country your vote will still count. At the moment if you’re a blue voter in a predominantly red state or vice versa there is no reason for you to leave the house on Election Day. Under this system your vote still matters so you have a reason to cast it.

More importantly presidential politics stops being beholden to the wishes of a minority in a few swing states and now has to consider the wishes of the whole national population everywhere.

When people who are fans of the "Scandinavian model" in the U.S. try and hype it up, this is what they seldom understand (or at least publicly recommend).

In Sweden, until you hit ~$65,000 in yearly income, all of the taxes you pay on income (which is a relatively high rate) goes to your local government. Only after that point, your extra income goes to the federal government. [1]

This model cuts out the immensely large federal government which serves as a middle-man for distributing the income you contribute to your local community, while simultaneously sucking out so much of it— either siphoning it to federal causes, or people's salaries chipping away at it as it's sloshed around.

It's much more efficient when the majority of your income taxes support your local community directly. In the U.S. right now, these localities rely on property taxes, which is _much_ smaller of an income stream. People supporting the Scandinavian model should understand that this is necessary, and that's even more true when your country is larger.

[1] https://www.nordisketax.net/main.asp?url=files/sve/eng/i07.a... Heard this point from Swedish family and having trouble finding it online, but the typical municipality income tax is 29-34% and corresponds to equivalent tax deductions from federal taxation, which seems to effectively have the same (or near same) result.
Somebody, somewhere had to install a driver. And, because you could never count on it, you can't design to it.

Now, since most things use a Prolific chip, you only have to install the driver for one device and you pick up a ton of them.

But it has to be installed by somebody, and that means all of the silliness that goes along with Windows driver installation.

Are you asserting that MCAS must exist as a condition of its certification? And that without it the airplane is not airworthy?

Can you reference any checklist item that when followed causes the airplane to become unairworthy?

If MCAS is required for the airplane to be airworthy, following the FAA and Boeing's directive to set stab trim to cutoff in the specific case of "MCAS upset" under discussion, directs pilots to make the airplane unairworthy as a work around for a perturbed system. I don't see how this is a defendable regime.
