I'm not assuming anything, I gave the most extreme examples of how unproductive it is to pursue your writing prompt and then asked you if had independently come up with anything productive that I didn't perceive and that you also failed to make clear. I wanted to know if there is any more point to your observation or if you just wanted to spread the word of irony that everyone already knows.
Coding Camp and Mental Health Survey
Don’t Facebook and Google each have over 100K employees just in their Bay Area offices? This is like FoxConn[1]. You can be doing substantially better than average and still have constant bad news by virtue of your size alone.

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for people to take this survey for some research I am doing on mental health & developers. All inspiring or current developers are welcome to take it. Also looking for additional insight on how mental health has impacted you if anyone would like to connect on the side with me.

Any help is appreciated - thank you!

Enough.

Estimates generally exceed the total known amount of in-ground crude oil.

Enough to supply North America for a century.

Enough that it would never all be used, the price of extraction guarantees other renewable sources of energy will be very competitive while petroleum products will remain available near the previous peak raw petroleum prices from a few years ago (prices collapsed when production of this newer source started to ramp up).

It has been a really good foreign policy lever against Russia and unfriendly middle-east countries, limiting their oil profits and always holding over their heads that we could subsidize the shit out of it and drive them into poverty and ruin.
I like your idea, but I don't see how it could work in an untyped language. Consider:

function foo() { return 1; }
function bar() { return fetch('http://example.com'); } // implicitly async

function qux() {
const fn = Math.random() > 1/2 ? foo : bar;
fn();
return 1;
}

Is qux() synchronous?
well probably with compression
The Great Old Ones did not have access to any lost mystical knowledge.

They at least had the advantage of not being forced to design a language for a failed startup, to be easy to learn where that's defined as resembling C, and other asinine considerations people continue to take into account nowadays.

These were clearly people that were figuring it out as they went along, which they would be the firt to admit

I'm not claiming otherwise, but the birth of Lisp was a paper written by an AI researcher that had good thought poured into it, not something meant to look like C and be good enough for whatever its purpose was on a strict time schedule.

...and it's virtually dead.

Why would that matter? Why does every language need to appeal to many people? Why is that a desirable quality? There's still plenty of APL being written. I even have an article concerning this: http://verisimilitudes.net/2019-08-08

Who could have predicted that?

Ada was designed to be implemented efficiently and understood easily. It's harder to write a good C or C++ compiler than it would be to write a good Ada compiler; there's simply fewer people doing this and GNAT is popular. The only compiler I'm aware of for C that anyone actually uses, sans the behemoths of GCC and Clang/LLVM, is tcc, and almost no one uses that. There's more Common Lisp implementations that are actually used than there are for C and the only reason you'd see more C compilers for Ada is because it's a smaller language with a standard that lets the implementor get away with doing so little at the cost of every program written in the language and because the standard for a C compiler is so low that it's expected to have bugs.

The economic cost of implementing the language is a salient part of its fitness.

When you start judging something in computing by its fitness, it reminds me of a virus, and that reminds me of The UNIX-HATERS Handbook and its description of C and UNIX.

C++ is only bad to the degree that you can completely wish away path dependence.

I don't know what you mean by this. Common Lisp doesn't care how code is loaded and Ada has a nice with and use system.

I do know C++ is a gargantuan language where the very grammar is ambiguous and is parsed differently by different compilers and I'm also aware it has little in static analysis due to this. Debugging Common lisp is simple due to its interactivity and Ada was designed to be statically-analyzed.

Part of why I mentioned APL, Lisp, and Ada is because I use all three of these languages. I could care less what the masses use. Do racecar drivers care about the people driving vans? Vans are more popular than racecars. Why should computing be different?

Exactly this. Perhaps I'm a little more productive after quitting Twitter, but the huge takeaway for me was not raging every day. I'm no longer in a fake argument in my head with a stranger 1000 miles away. I'm now reading more and thinking more deeply for longer periods of time on more complex topics, which feels healthier.

Apparently we're close enough to post-scarcity that people forget jobs are supposed to do things and not status symbols.

The point of meritocracy isn't that it's more fair or ethical, the point is that we give the most important (on the margin) jobs to the people most capable of doing said job. The fact that money, status, and power flow to the people doing important jobs is an incidental side effect.

Now universities aren't exactly jobs, but the point stands. Universities are supposed to educate people, so that those people can do stuff. Letting in people with connections and not ability means we are not making the best use of our limited educational resources. Note that this is an argument for affirmative action as advertised and an argument against affirmative action as practised.

How in the world is the conversation not about the lack of ethics of the teachers and faculty who agree to serve as the amateur judges/questioners in these tribunals?

Hello, I spent a decade of my life learning just how difficult it is to become an expert in my very narrow field. In fact I spend most of my time helping undergrads refine their rank speculation into tractable problems to potentially guide them to a deeper understanding of even a tiny slice of my narrow specialty.

What's that? You'd like me to serve on a jury for the school? No not on a jury, but instead to serve as a kind of combination panel judge and amateur lawyer? For what may be criminal allegations against a student? And you say there's no actual trained judicial expert to lead and constrain the process, but instead a handbook that will teach me in about an hour how to question a witness?

Sorry, it's my minimal sense of civic and academic integrity calling. I really have to take this...

Could you elaborate how it follows that the judicial institutions themselves would be reinforcing 'rape culture' in your example? Wouldn't it be more plausible that factors external to the judicial systems might be to blame?
Yes, it will be extremely expensive and it's a crime that we don't tax fossil fuels to account for those negative externalities. I don't want to downplay it too much here. It's serious business, but is not the end of civilization - unless those feedback loops kick in in a big way. I think the change in sea level will be somewhat gradual, giving time to migrate or fortify infrastructure. Keep in mind few of the roads, bridges, and skyscrapers in our current cities will still be there when the water reaches them. If we write them off and build further inland instead of trying to maintain or rebuild them in place, it will naturally shift part of our infrastructure. It will still be costly though.
This is true that bureaucracy breeds judicial systems. My observation is more related to the /why/ of this particular common case. It does not take a conspiracy theory to observe what is said by those enacting Title IX policies and the ensuing results that follow as a natural consequence.
Crazy. Buffett lost a lot of money over that.
Ah, don't listen to what people say, just look at what do they do and how do they live.
We have crossed over into the period where renewable energy sources and related required infrastructure is on par or cheaper than fossil fuels.

It is now just a matter of capital costs replacing old infrastructure with new while ramping up the industries that provide the replacements.

Inefficiencies scale with ramp up speed, but if you increase the cost of fossil fuels those inefficiencies are more competitive so you get a faster ramp-up.
The reasoning being, 'if we let the external systems deal with it, they would not judge rightly by our standards.' If they believed it would judge rightly, they would have no reason to institute their own.
A lightweight, fast non-blocking Golang network library based on Reactor mode
The court system is a very rigid structure. It's costly, and in the USA inherently has components that make it ineffective to addressing rape accusations, particularly the right to cross examine the accuser and how a good defense attorney will use that right. Oftentimes a victim doesn't want to go through that process and is mostly interested in not having to be confronted with their rapist every day.

That doesn't mean anything, one way or another, about how well these university tribunals work. It's just pointing out deficiencies in the existing court system.

Another way to think of it is balancing false negatives and false positives. The court system, ideally, errs on the side of minimizing false positives, because of how damaging they are for the accused. That inherently means more false negatives, and aspects of the process that are also much more burdensome for victims to navigate. Universities are trying to create an alternative system, where more false positives are accepted and consequences are less severe, and more focused on making sure the victim doesn't have to confront their rapist in day-to-day life than on life-altering consequences for the accused or protecting the public more generally from repeat offenses.
Since booleans can't be awaited until their state is negated/toggled, I'd say a lock that works like a lock is needed.

Transportation is 71% of US oil consumption:

https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-produc...

Moreover, you don't have to replace all cars to significantly reduce oil demand when each replacement with an electric vehicle reduces that driver's oil consumption by 100%, particularly when the vehicles most likely to be replaced as a result of higher oil prices would be the ones that drive the most miles. On top of that, the non-electric vehicles sold during periods of high gas prices would tend to be high fuel economy vehicles as well, and the vehicles in the existing installed base most likely to be junked would be the most inefficient ones.
Universities aren’t always a business, they’re often government institutions.

There was a dispute involving LTO-8 that just recently was resolved, so LTO-8 tape should now be available in the US. I wasn't following it closely, so I can't give any real insight, but it explains the wording.
Your scenario fails to consider the main thrust of the article.

Student A and B have consensual sex and then student B regrets it and claims student A raped her. Student A is now considered guilty from the onset and is banned from attending class and given no opportunity to read the charges against him or to refute his accuser.
We're working through a plugin system that might allow for things like this. GPUs/other hardware will obviously not be pluggable, but we have had requests for both and we are interested in adding support for them. We have really powerful tooling that makes building kernels with modifications simple.
One way to prevent these things from going too far is to make the standards gender neutral. If men start accusing women of rape by trickery too, I imagine feminists will very quickly back down.

The main problem is when it's all in one direction: when people think that defining more things as rape makes them more feminist, more supportive of women, and more deserving of social brownie points, then they have incentive to keep going well beyond the borders of common sense.
What chc said. But yes I agree I don’t like the way they display the price after savings first. I guess they are fighting the issue that most people don’t have this savings top of mind. It’s their call to make. I’m sure it rubs some people the wrong way enough to scare them off. I wonder if they have done A/B testing with it.
Yes, precisely the reason I try to avoid it as much as possible. I've been flying across the Atlantic and further East for 25 years now through multiple airlines. These years have taught me to stay away from Heathrow unless it can't be helped. I've missed my connecting flights just way too many times due to mismanagement, and when I didn't, I lost my luggage.

When going from [Point A] -> [Point B] -> [Point C], I only care if Point B is connected to my destination at Point C. If B is connected to many other destinations then it only means I'll face a larger crowd with more chaos and confusion which I'd love to avoid.

As a traveler, I prefer airports that take me to my destination with minimum hassle and maximum convenience or comfort. I do not care if it the most connected airport.

The problem here is that you're looking at it from an entrepreneur perspective, while the people building it are looking at it from a privacy perspective.

I don't use Facebook because of the reasons it's popular. I don't want my information easily accessible online, and I do want as much control as possible over who sees my information. I believe it should be easy to give and revoke access to my information and content. The European solution here is to legislate our way to that end goal, whereas the "market" way is to make something that's appealing that gets you most of what you liked about the centralized service, but with more control over your data.

And that's why I'm so interested in projects like ActivityPub and Matrix: it's not because I think they'll become popular, but because of what will happen if they become popular. If I was to invest money, I'd go with Facebook's business model every time, but if I'm going to evangelise something, it'll be something like Mastodon or Riot.im.

That's literally where I closed the article. Up to that point it had been informative and somewhat convincingly written, despite the author taking too much effort to paint his subjects as paragons of fairness and logic.

How is swallowing errors magic? try/catch does that and predates ES3.

To clarify your example, what about:

function foo() {
const val = async (1 + 2)
return val;
}
const x = foo();

Does the `x = foo()` block/implicitly await?

> if you forget an await you've probably introduced a bug, and the only way to know is ... docs

Given that async is "contagious", I'm having a lot of trouble imagining a scenario where a codepath could run and appear to work, but actually be hiding a bug because you didn't realize something was async. Unless you're just saying that the bug would be apparent as soon as you ran the code, but the syntax checker wouldn't flag it for you?
Unsourced, too.
I still have a major problem with USB drivers. If I try to install Reactos on real hardware as opposed to a VirtualBox VM I can't even get it to accept keypresses from a USB keyboard.

You can be sued in civil court for money. You're not held in prison or kicked out of school by government fiat in the meantime. And the damages (if any) are imposed after the court proceeding.

The exceptions are related to things like civil asset forfeiture, which are of questionable constitutionality and are similar to the rules we're discussing insofar as they are both worthy of contempt.
