If the clouds are only at 1500, it seems really unwise to fly without an instrument rating. It wouldn't take much of a weather change to get a VFR-only pilot in deep trouble. The clouds could quickly go right down to ground level.

Once an emergency develops, violating altitude rules is quite alright.

Changes to the rules could be an incentive for many pilots to become instrument rated. That isn't a bad thing.

EDIT: "Char isn't an arithmetic type!" The same is true for short, too.

EDIT2: The consequences are: Might need to manually %= 0x100 instead of relying on data type's inherent modulation in multi-operational arithmetic, making rotation a necessarily pre-scan operation for LE/BE conversion instead of a process-transparent operation and I had a third one... hm.

Silence is easier to interrupt unintentionally than constant noise. For example, if my room is quiet, I can be easily distracted by a random noise caused by my cat across the house. If, however, I have the TV on (usually with YouTube build videos), I won’t hear the random but sudden noises that provide no value to me.

This is at least partially related to my own difficulties in directing my attention. What I can’t hear can’t distract me from what I want to be focusing on. Music is also good for this.

> Why does it usually suck?

One large factor is that when somebody really dislike the result of a code generator, they most commonly cope by editing the generated code by hand. With other metaprogramming techniques people can't do the same, so they fix the issues.

The end result is that code generators are usually a set of mostly-functioning tools that create bad code that is almost, but not exactly impossible to understand but that you will be required to change at some point.
tho if there is one field that almost always results in nothing from random experimentation, it’s psychology.

What stands out about Boeing's mistakes is how easy it is for laypersons to understand the mistakes. Relying on only one sensor, no redundancy? Anyone who has stood up a service on the cloud will be astounded that Boeing made this mistake. We run 3 or more copies of everything to make sure we can tolerate failures. Computers making an automated action while making it hard for humans to override? Again, astounding mistake (MCAS). Fixing hardware defects using software? Again, unfathomable how Boeing could have made such a mistake. Would anyone here buy a computer that overheats and catches fire unless monitored and controlled using software? That would be very unusual indeed.

There are lots of very smart people at Boeing. If laypersons can recognize these mistakes then there must have been hundreds or thousands of engineers at Boeing who also recognized these mistakes. But they didn't speak up. I see this as evidence of a cultural problem.

Do you work at a company where the boss discourages you from speaking up about potential problems, and expects you to just do what you're told to do? If so your company could be the next Boeing.

1) Define "niche language". Lots of people are using Rust in production. Rust isn't in the top 10 most popular languages, but it is in the top 100, and rising.
2) Compilation speed is a problem for some projects, but not for small projects like yours.
3) Understandable, but writing exploitable code because you don't know a suitable alternative language very well is not a good long-term situation. Maybe you should do something about that.
4) Define "immature". It's not one of the world's most mature languages, but it is definitely mature enough to write production code for many contexts. In many ways C is the language that needs to grow up.

There are Rust libraries for all those things (including Rust bindings for FFTW itself), though I can't speak to their quality. I can confidently say that using Rust libraries in a new Rust project is a lot easier than using C libraries in a new C project, especially if you're not on Linux.

Wait, you're supposed to commit those? Genuinely curious.

I always set up an ignore rule for them and use package.json's dependency list instead. My projects are all on the small side though; is the idea to commit the .lock file and avoid breakage through things like minor version updates of your first level dependencies? Wouldn't that carry a bigger security risk for large numbers of packages that then aren't receiving patch updates as readily?
upon hearing some very rhythmic joyfull children music our dog when he was younger would jump on his feet and start kind of happily bouncing around, not just like running or jumping, more like rhythmically walking and turning while swinging body (very profoundly shifting weight between the paws of different sides) from side to side - it was as close to dancing as i suppose a dog untrained to dance can get, reminded a lot how very young children do it.
The pacing of TV shows is, in my opinion, not that great. There’s a lot of story or visual lulls where if I don’t have a second screen, I’ll just end up wandering away from the TV and won’t finish the show.

Before we had screens, we had newspapers, magazines and coffee table books. I remember this happening quite a bit when watching TVs prior to second screens even existing.

I used to play a lot of Team Fortress 2 on half my wide screen with Seinfeld playing on Plex on the other half.

It was very zen and relaxing, to the point where I did it with other shows and games. For example, Dynasty Warriors 4 on a PS2 emulator, with NewsRadio reruns playing on the other half.

For some people it's just relaxing, not really about boredom.
Right. When the Nim program is translated to Python it's only 20 % slower, which seems unlikely to apply more generally.
Another issue that no one has touched on yet is that big diesel engines don't like being stopped and started. The maintenance costs of stopping the engine each time it docks are likely worth more than the fuel it burns doing so.

Where I live (which is in NY but not near NYC), there seem to be increasing numbers of Chinese restaurants which are more upscale, have regional cuisine, and generally don't resemble the stereotype of an American Chinese restaurant. It probably is a result of an influx of Chinese students and tech workers, and another thing that seems to be a trend is several of the Indian restaurants have added Indian-Chinese fusion dishes.
Seems to me that at some point they just should say “it’s good enough” and contend with current growth rates. The paradigm of never ending growth pretty is guaranteed to push companies to the point where they will produce inferior goods. Same happened to Deutsche Bank. I still remember when they were doing well the CEO got it into his head to increase their margins even more and declared that 25% was the goal now. There were a lot of people saying that a bank simply has to take on too much risk to produce these numbers and, indeed, the bank blew up. Some industries simply can’t be run like consumer good companies because the consequences of failure are too severe. Obviously this doesn’t stop people from trying repeatedly. With current executive salaries it makes total sense to destroy a company’s base in exchange for a few profitable years.

That’s one of the reasons why I am against more nuclear plants and running them like other businesses . They will start out doing solid work but over time management will get greedy, reduce quality until something blows up.

It would be more polite and accurate to express that as your opinion rather than objective fact. Personally, I prefer to read the second version. I also expect the techniques shown in it, especially parsing against a type-level schema, would be less error-prone than the original in a larger program.
Same for Wells Fargo. Set impossible goals and then be surprised that people are taking shortcuts. I work in medical and even there they squeeze people to the point of reducing quality. At some point you prefer going home on time over doing a thorough review of the code during (unpaid) overtime.

I think it’s even simpler than selective boredom - it’s that the things that interest you in TV shows are highly unlikely to be constant throughout. So as the interesting bits ebb and flow, instead of drifting off into an internal daydream, we drift off into interesting things on our second screens.
Some people prefer to commit them (along with composer lock files for php). I always advise against it for this exact reason and because I want to make sure packages are correctly installed on the target system. Occasionally, deeply flawed versions are removed and it helps with catching it as well since you are forced to reinstall packages on a pull or build.

Edit: a minor version update should not be backwards incompatible and break things. If it does, the package is poorly maintained imo.

So true. I grew up in SE Asia and although women there are not as independent as the ones in the west, they can be pretty passive aggressive/manipulative/controlling in the household. One may not notice it right away, but once you're married or have been with them for a while, you'll start noticing that.

That's why there's the saying in my country that roughly translates to something like "Woman is key of the household (because she keeps all the money)". One of the traditional duties (there are five of them) of a wife is to control and distribute money in the way that is fair (among family, her parents and in-laws).
Passing parameters by reference is certainly not always safe. You can, for example, pass a reference to a deref'ed unique_ptr into a function call, while the function call does something that clears the unique_ptr.

If you want to avoid objects containing references (or raw pointers), then you have to avoid using lots of standard library stuff --- `string_view`, C++20 `span`, or even STL iterators.

>There is a common misconception, repeated here, that fractals are defined by their self-similarity.

This is not a misconception. Self-similarity at all length scales is indeed a defining factor of fractals.

From that fact it _does_ follow that _most_ fractals have a non-integer fractal dimension. However it is absolutely not true that fractals have non-integral dimensionalities; for example the most famous fractal of them all, the Mandelbrot set, has an integer Hausdorff dimension of 2.

In the French Revolution, three hundred thousand people were killed. In the American revolution, thirty thousand died. Killing ten times as many people means the French revolution was worse than the American revolution.

The French revolution resulted in years of oppression before things shook out for the better. The Articles of Confederation were imperfect but were not an oppressive government.

>What’s the difference (except life cost multiplier/divisor) that makes one uncomfortable and the other comfortable?

Both are uncomfortable stereotypes, but we find the latter more acceptable because Western masculine ideals traditionally interpret the male in that situation as expressing his virility and alpha-dog status (while denigrating the woman as a gold-digger and whore.) Although many people are creeped out by the age differential if it's wide enough, it's expected both that older, powerful men will attract younger women, and that younger women will be attracted to the money and power. It's a sentiment expressed and reinforced throughout Western media and culture.

Meanwhile the Asian version of the stereotype has connotations of the failure of masculinity on the part of the male, as only a step above hiring a prostitute, as well as implications of pedophilia and sex-trafficking.
What do lossy and lossless mean in this context?
Easy to say when one is not the garbage man...

Not to mention that it's not true that "someone has to be a garbage man" (anymore so than a woman must "clean the dishes" in a household). People could be responsible for cleaning up their own shit, or take turns to do it.

The same way Japanese schoolchildren are made to clean their own school (toilets etc) - and in many armies, soldiers do that for their units too. So, no some specific person relegated to clean up others' shit is not "required".

So, the practice for auditing code by a regulatory body is nothing new. If we do it for money, FFS can we do it when there are actual lives involved?
