> the transparency and predictability of what machine code gets generated from the source code.

This gets said a lot, but unless you're writing C code for a microcontroller (or a PDP11), that isn't even close to being true.

> When you write "a + b", you won't end up with kilobytes of machine code just because someone in some header overloaded the + operator.

You can't overload "+" for integers or floats. If you add two numbers together, you get what you expect, always. If they're not numbers, and somehow you expected `a + b` to work without an overloaded operator, then I don't know what to say.

> You want a function, you define that function.

Then you define it again for another type, then again, then again...

Then you write a macro and now your colleagues hate you.

> All of these constructs, should they be added to the language, will result in a compiler generating heaps of code from a simple code snippet

Not necessarily.
Domains are fundamentally different from phone numbers, because you interact with people you don’t necessarily “know” all the time while you only infrequently call people who aren’t in your contact list. Clicking on links would work, of course, but trying to remember the address of “that one dude who writes about maps” gets quite a bit harder.
The "best" means different things at different point in life of a startup.

For example, an arrogant "10x" developer who doesn't team-play and work 9-5 for work life balance may be the "best" when the company has grown to a large size, but for an early stage startup, this can act as the #1 reason for the demise of the startup because it messes up the morale and culture.
I was thinking the same, except OP's product seems more like a feature for an EMR platform and less a standalone product.

The only downside is that sharing this information may open up the hospital to more liability - i.e. a patient takes an opiate instead of an NSAID and then blames the hospital for recommending the opiate to them because of how much more effective the opiate is at treating pain in clinical trials.
Most likely the ‘legitimate non discriminatory reason’ rule would be applied. Meaning the employer or prospective employer needs only provide an ‘honestly held’ reason for the practice. Although, the Federal Circuit courts are split regarding whether such a reason needs to be objectively reasonable. So (and this is not legal advice) if an employer does not want to hire members from outside of a particular group who happen to be non-consumers of alcPhil for religious reasons, they could site health insurance premiums as a reason to bar all candidates who consumed alcohol, thereby having a sort of shadow ban on people not belonging to that particular group. I think (and again, this doesn’t constitute legal advice) that such a reason would hold up under either the honestly held or objectively reasonable standards in the event of a suit.

— Also, the presentation of evidence under the above standard would be done at summary judgement, before the discrimination issue even got near discovery or trial.
I think the only good way to do this is off of the back of C++ Modules. Having it as a compiler flag means that all files in a project, including libraries, must be compliant.

With C++ modules putting an end to the naive #include, translation units could specify the C++ specification they are compliant with, and hence gracefully remove or add new features on a translation-unit level.
For windows that is a very recent change. The ABI used to change with every compiler rev.

Further without buyin from the actual standard there’s no gurantee a breaking change won’t be forced by the standard at some point.
The main reason I prefer renting e-bikes instead of using my own bike isn't the electric power. It's the convenience and not having to worry about my bike getting stolen. If I only want to bike one way and not round trip, no worries.

If I was to own an e-bike, I would want to not have to worry about it getting stolen. Everything would have to be like e-bikes you rent. All the parts would need to be integrated and not easily removable (lights, seat, etc). I don't want to waste 5 minutes locking/unlocking my bike every time I want to stop somewhere and have to carry around my lights. I would also want GPS so I can track my bike if it gets stolen. Until I have I bike like that, I will continue to buy the cheapest crappiest bikes I can find or rent bikes because people suck.
He said "mostly" because of, not totally due to. Furthermore, look at US emissions...they are flat or declining over time, and will continue to slowly decline. So, we're closer to hitting our future Paris goals than China, whose emissions are going to continue to rise quickly due to increased oil use, LNG, and a LOT of coal use for at least 20 years to come.
Okay, I mostly agree with you, but saying we should plan for something plausible but not (yet) scientifically established is different than "science-denial", eh?

Sure. But is there significant performance/safety impairment connected to nicotine use? I don't think so.
Primarily, I run games on linux because I'm already on linux and rebooting is a pain if I have a lot of things open.

Performance on Linux is often as good as or better than windows. Linux as an OS is just plain faster, so that's fighting with whatever performance penalty is introduced by translation layers like wine/dxvk. These days it's usually not much hassle to run things on linux... certainly less than rebooting for a commonly used item.
Downers Grove Fry's is more or less a ghost town, and has been for more than a year at least by all reports. It's impossible to believe that they can cover their overhead. The "changing to a consignment model" thing is laughable with Fry's gigantic stores, the whole thing is just bizarre.
I can hardly call myself left or right or moderate or up or down or whatever, because my ideas are difference from other people's ideas (although some are same, they aren't what can be simply called as left/right and so on). Left/right is not describing all of the issues anyways, I think, and many things are just not as simple as one way or other, anyways. Even then, some people whose ideas may be generally called left/right may not agree with everything anyways.

But I suppose they may be correct that such independent ideas may be considered as moderates by these measurements, and may also be correct that a lot of people hate them for it.

They say that on a scale from 0 to 100 your opinion might be any number, on average 50 but may be anything. I think that is not good enough because your ideas might not match the range like that so well, I think.
England in South Africa: Tourists limp to 262-9 on day one at Newlands
And in WoW too, given how the honor rank system works, imagine if people could kick others from battlegrounds: they would kick those with higher ranks so they could climb the ranks faster themselves.
I was tempted to post this same question. I suspect the answer is that the OP just doesn't know how to scale it down; it was built by contractors and he/she might not even have the keys to the boxes, let alone know how to keep them running.

It is unfortunate. Even if the data goes stale and the product is no longer fit for purpose, it shows well and would make a great demonstration for his/her future endeavors. And you never know who might stumble across it in the future and want to revive the technology.

I've had fairly sophisticated sites running on Google App Engine for years after the company was "shut down". One ended up being instrumental as a demo when meeting a later cofounder.
IMHO the point of the article is its title - and certainly, furthermore, the point made at the end:

“To succeed, an offering must create value for all entities involved in the exchange—target customers, the company, and its collaborators.”

I believe the point of this comment is 'do market research before quitting your job'. The author could have learned their presented points while operating this as a side project concurrent to their existing job.
No.

But it can be done as a library. Granted, it's not the same as 1st class support, but it's pretty good:

How is it possible that they've been running in this zombie state for so many months now? The amount of money they have to be spending things like power to keep the lights on and the air at a comfortable temperature must be astronomical with almost no revenue coming in.

If they were going to switch to this model, why not just lock the doors for the months where the transition is happening? Very very weird.
Just bought a new 3700x and 5700xt at best buy this week, I'm surprised I could that in person. I actively try to avoid purchasing anything at Amazon. They are Mr. Robot's EvilCorp in real life. Can't support that.

An Interconnected Interview with Intel’s Ramune Nagisetty: A Future with Foveros
The system is meant to balance itself out one way or the other. You throw more efficient resources at it, and it becomes less efficient to maintain its 10-20 second block times. It's actively anti-efficient.

The idea behind ASIC resistance is not efficiency, but rather to limit centralization. If you can use generic hardware that anyone can access it is intended to reduce capex required to become a cost-effective miner. Now of course, I don't think that makes sense, but that's the idea.
Talking about Battlefield V cheaters on consoles...

Now there's a ridiculous amount of players using those chronusmax/titan two/strikepack devices that modify the input of real controllers and do things like anti-recoil, rapid fire, auto burst, drop shoot, quickscope, etc.

Wallhacks and autoaim are obvious (and, luckly, not common on consoles), but those devices are getting very popular and they provide subtle ways of cheating that are harder to detect.
I really doubt that is worth it at anything less than the professional level. Too much friction for customers, too costly for companies to run, and too little at stake. At the professional level everything is already done in person anyways.
Reminds me of the late stages of Circuit City where the stores were just there ... but empty shelves, strange patterns in inventory, employees who just have given up on work .. look like they gave up on life.

I was always amazed how long Circuit City stuck around like that.

> Any language that compiles to JavaScript.

What if I compile javascript... to javascript. So that I can have actually functioning javascript across the majority of fairly modern browsers, while using modern features.

All I'm saying is, honestly. I don't blame people for not writing straight javascript, when even if you do, you still need a build system in between if you want to support all browsers.
In 2030 - and focused on things that are different - not the same.

+ Smart home tech will be ubiquitous. Smart speakers paved the way. They're still not very smart, but good enough as an interface. Most importantly, they are the reason other home products became connected. Smart home products are smart lamps, outlets, curtains, locks.

+ Electrification of heating is happening at a large scale. This can be through a combination of devices, from floor heating to infrared panels in the form of paintings. This is driven by a continuous drop of the cost of electricity production.

+ Indoor positioning becomes considerable bigger, but doesn't reach the number of outdoor positioning chips (GPS) yet. It is used for asset tracking, smart homes, and hopefully not for advertisements.

+ Battery-free devices entered the consumer market. Using backscattering and energy harvesting techniques they perform basic tasks which conventially required a battery. This will be all low-bandwidth.

+ In other words, wireless charging on a distance of a couple of meters takes off. This will be low-energy. Not to charge smartphones or laptops.

+ Lab-grown meat is available in the supermarket. The price didn't come down yet. It's a product for people who can afford it.

+ A mouse brain has been frozen for a day, got revived, and lived for a bit after that.

+ There have been attempts to grow more crops in the sea. It couldn't robotized enough in those rough conditions to significantly produce food for kettle though.

+ Vertical farming is still a hype. Greenhouses pop up in more and more countries, reducing the role of the Netherlands w.r.t. agricultural exports.

+ A platform that brings together home sellers and buyers becomes global. It becomes bigger than Airbnb.

+ A sex toy with tele-properties goes viral. It is removing some social barriers. However, the society - esp. the US - remains very prudish.

+ We use the smartphone to pay and for access control. No need to carry a credit card or keys on you. Finally!

That's it for now! No autonomous cars, and no big advanced in general artificial intelligence. Still a lot to look forward to, I think! :-)

I always find it interesting to see the different paths people take toward learning the same thing. When I first did multivariable calculus, I learned that the gradient points uphill, and the negative of the gradient points downhill. I'm definitely a spacial learner, and mostly thought of surfaces the way one walks over hills. The idea of using gradient descent to find a local minimum is the simplest part of neural networks to me.

It's interesting to see someone first write an article about nearest neighbor classifiers (a topic I really don't know much about), and then, 2-3 months later, figure out why we use gradient descent.

He also seems to have misread Susan.

In the story she describes the project as "fun" before he asks what she'd pay. At that point he probably should have picked up that she was being kind and was not in fact seeing a product she was interested in buying.

He probably could have figured that out by asking doctors before he built the thing.
It is required when leaving the Schengen area. They like to know when people are leaving so that they know who is overstaying and who isn't.

The airlines want to see the passport too, but every time I've left the Schengen area (Germany, Netherlands, and Iceland), the national authority for that country checks my passport and stamps it with an exit stamp showing the date, time, and airport of departure.

That doesn't happen when leaving the United States: just the airlines want to see the passport to make sure you won't be immediately rejected at the destination.
One could argue that type 2 diabetes is something many inflict on themselves. Should people without this disease pay for their treatment?

What if the person with type 2 diabetes is a 15 year old kid, and their parents taught them bad eating habits which lead to type 2 diabetes? Should the parent's insurance cover that? Or should the parent not get hired because of something their dependent did to themselves?
I think people are being a little too hard on the author. Startups in healthcare are hard. Been there, done that, have the t-shirt (literally, that's all that left). I even made the same fatal mistake - not identifying who the buyer really is. And when I say identifying the buyer, I don't mean it in that hand-wavey, vague way like "doctors" or "insurance companies". The starting point has to be something like "ophthalmologists in small practices (1-10 doctors) in New England who are trying to acquire new patients through social media."

And here's something that's absolutely critical for all engineers trying to build a startup in healthcare to really understand. Healthcare is so alluring because tech people are so idealistic. We think, "Wow, we we can write some code, and then save lives!" And that's sometimes true. But when you are thinking of your customer, revenue model, sales strategy - all that business stuff - the mistake we make is thinking healthcare is different and the same rules don't apply. We think if we can save lives, we can make a business. But the key insight is that you have to take a step back and just treat healthcare like any other for-profit business. Doctors and hospitals care about what generates revenue. Insurance companies want to save money. Pharma companies are looking to advertise to new customers. It's no different than other industries. The psychiatrist's reaction to the sales pitch is the classic thing a doctor will tell when you're not helping their bottom line. As I was reading the post, I could almost predict how she was going to respond.

And if you figure that business stuff out, who knows, you might just build a healthcare business that saves a life or two.
Yes. We don't have the means to know so. Just like fish in the ocean don't know we exist, but we know they exist.
Dell developer laptops are pretty good, not to mention Apple if you can put up with them.
Over reaction, but Tesla still feels like plastic/cheap ( interior) to me.

They are eating some lunch from some carmakers, but not as much as you think.

Eg. Tesla was #11 in sales in September 2019. Some "hybrids" are absolute shit though.

And this is with a lot of EV tax incentives.

Even those are mostly exchanges (speculation), derivatives (extra speculation) and stable coins (to enable speculation on exchanges which want to avoid AML and KYC in the facilitation of money laundering).
Apple could do some basic spam filtering on SMS messages directly on the device (ditto for Google on Android). Querying a domain reputation service will very quickly tell you whether a URL is a risky click.

At a bare minimum, show me a warning when an SMS comes through containing a risky URL. I just don’t see why these giant companies with billions in profit can’t connect the dots here.
It's a lot more maintainable than raw CSS but when you grow big you will have to refactor. The main thing about Tailwind is that the author is a very, very talented designer who also produces high quality YouTube tutorials. It's very easy to make Stripe-style landing page with Tailwind because all the examples are in that style. Most of your existing frameworks like Bootstrap, Bulma may look unique but when you want to ship a pretty page you will need severe customisation together with a fair bit of design talent. At the end of the day, you want your site to look beautiful, not just yet another wannabe-unique-glitzy-slightly-modified-themeforest site.

> Bots would just look for triangles drawn with enemy uniform textures (very easy if you have the display lists) and aim at them.

I think you missed the "viewport culling" step in the above description. The server would only be sending the client enough information to draw what's going to be on the client's screen (since that's the only information that's naturally left after that step of the rendering pipeline!) So, on any frame where another player is obscured by a wall, data about that player wouldn't be in the display-list sent to the client, any more than it would be in the image Stadia sends.
Absolutely. But, there's a risk analysis - if there's good bike infrastructure, and I'm riding townie bike (slow and can put feet down vs a road racing bike), the risk is much lower.

There's also evidence that requiring helmets reduces cycling among the general population. Partially because it's an extra thing to buy/maintain, but it also creates more work for commuters - they have to redo their hair at the office.

Residents of Amsterdam don't seem to wear helmets at all, except for high-speed training rides/racing. And they seem to do ok like that.
They were well known to re-shrink-wrap defective, returned products and put them back on the shelves for resale. I'm not sure I've ever followed the logic of this, unless it was to justify the necessity for a large returns department. Long-time customers learned the signs of repackaging (sometimes overt stickers, sometimes more subtle and you had to look for loose plastic wrap or bent cardboard flaps).

I once bought a PC from them that wouldn't boot reliably. In the process of trying to get an OS installed on it, I accidentally wiped the recovery partition on the drive. Eventually I gave up and tried to return the PC.

"Sorry, we can't take this back. We can't restore the OS," said the returns tech.

"It won't even boot. That's why I'm returning it."

"But it means that we can't put it back on the shelf."

I don't remember what I said to get my money back, but I did, and it was the last PC I ever bought there.

I've been going to Fry's since they opened on Lawrence Expressway in the 80s. Fry's was a fun, wacky place to take out-of-town guests to, and they were great for the occasional emergency keyboard or HDD, but you were taking a risk on expensive items. Won't miss them much.

Last month, I bought a Chromebook (new in box) for $100 through Amazon. Granted, it just got its final update, so it was sitting on some warehose shelf for years. I'll use it until the OS crumps, then wipe it and put Debian on it. Just like I used to do with cheap Windows netbooks.
Yup. Depending on how attractive OP is to high-salary big tech employers, the opportunity cost alone of not getting paid for most of a year could easily be several hundred thousand dollars.
