That label famously (and tragically) tanked (due to the death of its founder) and he created the Peas from its ashes using nothing but his own skills. The Peas went on to be signed by a new label and the rest is history. What you are implying is that somehow what was left of that original label bankrolled and promoted and released The Peas, which is just pure bullslit.

Someone should write an article and call it something like “‘XML

standards allowing you to do pretty much anything with it. And a bunch

HTML5 doesn't cease to be based on SGML by a browser cartel with the express intent to transform the web into JavaScript-heavy web apps declaring so. WHATWG isn't an accredited standards body so what they declare a "standard" or "conformant" means shit. Especially if they don't bother to actually publish a standard that doesn't change all the time. Their "living standard" thing is at best a collaborative Wiki space of sorts where (a closed group of) "browser vendors" attempt to agree on how to do things, and is falling apart lately. WHATWG's "standard" has witnessed the web becoming a Chrome monopoly, and Opera and MS to cease browser development altogether.

SGML is the only game in town able to parse (a significant part of) HTML based on an actual standard, and is also the only realistic perspective for folks interested in the web as a standardized communication medium going forward.
This seems very hard to believe - mainstream science struggles to predict accurately even 5 years out. In 1982 they were predicting the ice caps would be gone by 2000, acid rain, holes in the ozone layer etc. But this one guy is the Nostradamus of climate and everyone ignored him?

Note: I am not saying that climate change isn’t real. I’m just sceptical that someone in 1982 made accurate predictions of 2019. And all points in between? Without anyone noticing?

Just curious because I've come across differing definitions of this. How would you define the differentiate between sales and marketing ?
I believe the environmental laws are that the EPA makes specific rules and companies have to follow them. This reduces uncertainty for businesses over what is an acceptable level or form of pollution.

In Bush Jr years, the EPA had to be taken to court to even accept that CO2 and other greenhouse gases are pollutants, meaning they have to be regulated.

The only other law I can think of would be reckless endangerment, hopefully somebody here can explain why it wouldn't apply.

Nicoya, Costa Rica: Puzzling Diet Light on Veggies, High in Carbs and Sugar
I asked all firms we spoke with how they work. None even had an option of making tweaks to the project with real-time 3D feedback. That is - change something and see how it looks in 3D on the second monitor, move the camera around, change time of the day, turn lights on and off, then try it differently, check again, try third, etc. Aim for dozens of "revisions" in a scope of one hour - that's not even remotely possible.

The existing model - get a draft, send in a list of tweaks, get a revision, send more comment, get another revision - is ridiculously inefficient and excruciatingly slow. What can be decided in a couple of hours takes days if not weeks. Coming to the architect's office and doing the same by sitting aide by side with then doesn't help much, it's still not a real-time and they get frustrated because that's not how they work.

The problem, as I mentioned, is both in architect software lacking (what's been available in game engines for years!) and the willingness to adopt the new tech and workflows on architect's side.

I mean, with all existing technologies I should be able to see my house-to-be in near exact realistic detail before we OK the project. This is NOT possible and this is supremely frustrating.

That type of case will most like be public nuisance suits under state tort laws, akin to for example, the recent Oklahoma opioid case against Johnson and Johnson, or say, lead paint lawsuits.

These types of laws tend to be much more pervasive than "blue sky laws" that enable securities fraud cases.

There was a Supreme Court ruling about a decade ago that under federal law (specifically the Clean Air Act), it is solely the job of the EPA to regulate energy companies in most aspects related to the environment.

That ruling does not cover state tort laws or state securities fraud laws. It's been a tactic by the fossil fuel industry to move nuisance cases to federal courts, but in many recent rulings, most of the federal courts have been throwing them back to state courts in jurisdictional rulings.

The Supreme Court just a few days ago declined to hear a number of cases related to nuisance suits, which threw them back to state courts: https://news.bloombergenvironment.com/environment-and-energy...

A number of other nuisance suits are about to be filed soon, most notably by Washington DC and Honolulu. There may be a very large number of these lawsuits in the future, whether it be by cities, counties, or states.

The same applies for bypassing anti-cheats or other modification prevention systems or other attestation systems.

This is a nice demonstration of the tradeoff inherent in the (confusingly named) "zero-cost abstractions" philosophy: it brings accidental complexity front and center. This accidental complexity is often viral, propagating through the call stack in the type signature, and made so pervasive in the program that it becomes its focus (even if the types are hidden and inferred) and the element that is hardest to change rather than easiest.

C++ is most famous for this philosophy, but Rust doubles down on it because of its commitment to memory-safety soundness through the type system. Look at how many details having to do not with any algorithm but with the code the compiler emits are stated here: that the call is made in an asynchronous context, that an object requires a vtable, that an object is able to change threads, the object's lifetime, boxing, and that the object cannot be moved in RAM. The only part that's related to the algorithm here is `User`.

Of course, in constrained environments like embedded systems or other circumstances where control over resources is crucial -- the domains Rust is designed to target -- accidental complexity becomes essential as control over resources is an important component of the problem.

Some more here, and an alternative (with it's own tradeoffs) that could be called "zero-cost use" (although that's equally as bad and confusing as "zero-cost abstractions"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19932753

In the UK, it's not unusual for polling stations to have 'tellers' [1] outside, asking voters to volunteer their electoral registration numbers (which can easily be converted into their name). Nothing stops them recording the time too, and many rural polling stations are small enough that only a single voter is in there at a time.

Luckily, we don't have electronic voting machines.

> Web browsers are a really good example that some software needs to be complex to do its job. Web pages can do pretty much anything so web browsers have to support that which requires a bunch of code off the bat.

The point is that web pages don't inherently need to do "pretty much anything." The web could have been simple and browsers could be simple. Stakeholders decided that no, we want more and more and more and even more features.

And when you say simple is not correct, it is often because someone wants something complicated instead of acknowledging that simple, in fact, does all they really need.

Supporting a JS Engine is non-trivial. See React Native and Native Script. For example stacktraces etc.

With C++ in both Android Studio and X-Code you can put break points in the same IDE.

With JS you would use the browser to debug JS code, and Android Studio and X-Code to debug the native code. That split can be annoying.

I guess if the team that supports the JS engine is sufficiently large, i guess you can get more out shared JS code. The majority of the devs should be able to focus on JS development only.
And a couple of specialists deal with "JS engine issues".
I’m also curious about this. Exxon being the most valuable company back then was basically the ‘Google’ of its time: they employed the smartest people and developed breakthrough technologies. I wouldn’t be surprised if their heavily funded scientists were able to make accurate predictions.

There’s also the possibility that their predictions gave a wide range and we’re simply within that band today.

> this one guy is the Nostradamus of climate and everyone ignored him?

I have no trouble believing that. Given a thousand predictions, with two thousand possible outcomes you'll have someone guess right 50% of the time. These are educated guesses and no one knows the odds of guessing right, but I'm not surprised we can find a random person that made a prediction that fits a certain part of what we're seeing today.
Telemetry and the possibility of having a dashboard as part of core Phoenix (or a 'second party' package) could also end up being a killer feature.

Honesty I wouldn't like that, on either side. On one hand it's time consuming, since you simply have to ask other things also - and if you make the problem too simple or easily guessable, you null the benefits of pair programming. Also I see enough nervous candidates to think their performance wouldn't be realistic in an interview situation. When you solve problems together as colleagues it's a really good method, but as test, its awkward.

> In 1982 they were predicting the ice caps would be gone by 2000

Citation please. No one was predicting that.

Edit: Also I have little problem believing that internal scientists knew the problem, and the extent, long before the outside world recognised the urgency. That also applied to tobacco, asbestos, leaded fuel - they had research showing issues decades before the wider world had the weight of evidence, or even recognised there was a problem to investigate...
One reason the IPCC might have missed that prediction in 1982 is that the organisation didn't exist. It was founded in 1988 [1].

If you meant the scientific community as a whole, a majority was predicting anthropogenic global warming since the 1970's, but consensus only started in the 1980's [2].

In all seriousness, I would guess it implies other false-psychology nonsensical processes in place too. As evidenced by dude who they stopped to do code reviews for, because he had opinions. Would me behaving nicely imply more detailed nitpicks cause, well, I don't put up fight?

They correlated long term behavior with boardgame patterns that emerged over months of play. Therefore they expect themselves to be able to divine your long term behavior from an hour of playing a game you may or may not know in advance in situation where you are motivated to project charizmatic personality.

It also implies me having to project a lot of correct cultural nonsense to get ahead. You dont enjoy learning boardgame rules? You dont like learning new tech. You did not bonded over boardgame? You dont value culture.

Ugh.
I guess this assumes that the product can be used by a single person, or a small group of people, and don’t require a lot of setup. For example systems monitoring, or a group-wide collaboration tool, makes things harder.

I don't know that this pattern is the fault of Dan and Scott directly - I think there is something deeper at work which goes beyond the political pattern recognition of the people who talk here.

I won't jump into the topic here but I am going to iterate - there exist three powerful factions in our political system - the left, the right and the liberals. I believe if we don't hang together we will hang separately.

For one political philosophy to have a monopoly is the last thing we need. It is as moronic as one sex winning the War of the Sexes.

>C functions compiles down to assembly and C++ or Java hide vtables and such when you do method calls.

I don't think it makes sense to compare the output of Rust macros to assembly code generated by a C compiler or to vtables.

Macros are part of the Rust language, as is their output. Understanding Rust means understanding both input and output. So this abstraction boundary is intentionally leaky to some degree.

Generated assembly and vtables on the other hand are compiler implementation details subject to change without notice. Any abstraction leakage is unintended and undesirable (even if developers sometimes benefit from understanding that output)

Your line of reasoning makes all debates about language complexity completely pointless.
