It depends what you eat. Most of my home cooked meals are just seasoned vegetables with the occasional chicken on the side, or pasta. They don't have to be bottom of the barrel ingredients, just a higher ratio of vegetables to meats.
> Built by one senior engineer who’s not done mobile apps and a bunch of folks who were very recent code academy graduates.

I would love to hear from one of these folks! I have so many questions.
My personal opinion, is basically for 3 reasons:

1) There is no need to. C already has all we need to build our systems. The rest is seen as overhead/over-complication.

Regarding Rust, I try to keep up to date about its progress. Unfortunately most of the diseases that Rust cures are not much of a trouble in embedded. My last UB, memory leak of loose pointer happened years ago. It will happen again and when it happens, I'll debug it. That's it. I'm not afraid of UB or dealing with pointers, even if there are 10K Rust users trying to FUD me. I know what I'm doing. Every embedded/kernel/driver developer know what they are doing. When shit happens, that's it, no big deal. You plug your debugger and solve the issue. It's not a nightmare that chases us in the middle of the day.

FUD alone is not enough for switching. So, why should I start thinking that a variable cannot change, because it's a constant (wasn't it a variable?), unless it can mutate, so it's a constant variable that can change because now is mutable?

Or constrain myself into borrow-checker torture for a thing I can do in a couple of instructions?

WHY?

2) This is not about a language problem, is about solving a programmer problem with language. If C = math, then you cannot do math simpler/better because today's mathematicians are sloppier. Or because bosses pressures people to deliver crappy products.

I'm not a genius. I'm far from it, and if any seasoned C programmer challenges me I'll probably run away. But embedded/kernel/driver development is harsh, so if a developer thinks that he/she cannot make it because language, then it's mostly about searching for an excuse. Time to change jobs.

The key is to think that a lot of people did (and does) a lot with so much less, for 40 years now. It's not a language problem. People have to learn to deal with it.

I was there too 20 years ago, when every C++ developer was afraid that they would lose their jobs because C#. It never happened. C++ is still one of the most used languages.

3) In my case, there are official libraries from manufacturers you have to use. Sometimes receiving customer support depends on if and how you use those libraries. All those libraries are in C. All the support is in C. All the examples are in C.

Yes, I know there is that engineer that has a Github repo with a library that works fine with that STM32 for that specific language, that now is getting support for embedded so in 5 years we could maybe put something in production. But, not for now.

Sorry for the length. Edited some typos.
Ha -- I do the same (but not 3x/wk)! Imho, standard Japanese-style ramen is just a starting point, a set of suggestions, but ramen soups can be made very flexibly in terms of ingredients and flavor profiles. My entire family prefer homemade to restaurant ramen because it's so easy to customize based on taste-of-the-day.
This seems reasonable, but I'm a bit worried you're being sarcastic. Are you worried about this for some reason? Maybe scared of something you read in a fiction book once? Is this a good idea in reality?

My hypothesis: it wasn't really the structure of faces etc. that looked weird to you.

You were just baffled in general by the weirdness of watching such an old footage, and "blaming" this on what people looked like was a way your brain rationalized this elusive sense of weirdness away.

When we're adults, we've seen our share of old pictures, the sense of wonder weakened, and so the feeling of bafflement is gone. And along with it, the need for rationalizing it off.

I had read that unschooling had turned out poorly, but while searching for evidence, it seems it goes the other way:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/freedom-learn/201406...

I think it's heavily dependent on the home environment and learning opportunities, though, and it probably can't scale to the industrial daycare that is formalized primary and secondary education.
That’s also what I think. Was I a good parrot is also something I said to in a physics class after answering a question (high school).

One problem is that teachers don’t always understand either, they’re also parrots. They also don’t have any incentive or margin to not be a parrot.

The other problem is that our factory schools have been created by extroverts for extroverts, so participative play rather than understanding is what matters.

I didn’t like school, and that also affected in a negative way what I liked and didn’t like outside of school.

Now I see the same happening with my kid, and it’s tough to compensate.

When it comes to Financial Accounting for asset heavy and inventory heavy businesses who need audit ready financial reporting (IFRS/GAAP), most are going to have pretty standard Order-To-Cash, P2P etc. workflows with similar controls.

But yes, what changes are the business end users requirements for slicing and dicing performance data from 'subsets of this' and 'subsets of that'. I think HANA plus the move to the cloud will potentially help this.
I know all analogies, especially those explaining complicated physics to 11th graders, have to oversimplify some aspects of a phenomenon, but this one always rubbed me the wrong way. The hole moves with the electrons, if they move right, the hole also moves right.

The crucial point is that the electrons at the top of a valence band have effective negative mass, i.e. they move opposite to an applied force. Of course their true mass hasn't changed, this is simply a consequence of the fact that we're considering a system of uncountably many electrons moving in unison. This means a full band carries no current (which is the situation in isolators), but if a band has some electrons missing at the top, these holes will be transported in the opposite direction of the usual electron current, which happens to be the correct direction for positive charges. Hence, we can talk about positive charge carries.

A better analogy would be a bubble of air underwater in a river. It moves with the flow of the water, not against it. I know it doesn't really matter, but I feel an analogy must at least have a core of truth.

I would not recommend it at that scale. You’ll grind your sales people down for no good reason, and flush several million dollars down the toilet on a project that will most likely get canceled and several people fired (gotta have fall guys at that level...). The right time to implement an ERP is at the last possible second that you are legally or contractually obligated to, or a make or break $50-100M sales contract is in play. And in the latter case, losing the contract and flushing the SAP project down the toilet are real risks. I’ve lived this project at a company the size you describe and it ended very poorly.

In such a case either the journalists didn't do their job (because they should have interviewed those folks, to obtain an explanation about the red-flag rejection), or those folks didn't provide any explanation (it seems probable to me, as the article seems solid and also as I'm unable to find such an explanation in the comments here or even online).
Pluralsight Free Weekend Feb 2020
It is because of a provincialism and incentives resulting in the culture of "bringing home the bacon" selfishly seeking local benefits without regards to their impact on others. It lets politicians claim benefits where just private corporations doing stuff that helps they can't even if being hands off lead to it.

The bringing home the bacon culture is a larger toxic phenomenon given the "bandit towns" doing things like lowering highway speed traps and the town being vastly composed of traffic cops.

retry_window_after_first_call=timedelta(minutes=50)
Standard ML is almost the perfect language—functional-first without all the heavyweight and seemingly endlessly proliferating categorical abstractions which keeps the level of knowledege one needs to be productive low. Plus it’s easy to drop into old school imperative code when needed.

The only thing holdong sml back in my eyes is somewhat clunky syntax and the module system—which is great at first but quickly becomes tricky once you start having to use functors.

A modern, reimagined sml that keeps its core while adopting some of the nicer syntactic improvements from other langs in the family and improving the module system would be a god send

SEC vs. Telegram: what is most probable outcome?
I am also a hobby beekeeper. My sample size is "2" - I always have two hives. I also had both hives die out last year after 3 years of not needing really any help at all. The one colony didn't really have any signs of mites to speak of. There were just a bunch of dead bees in the bottom of the box. The other colony absconded or was overrun. They had a decent-ish amount of stores they left out, but no bees whatsoever.

It's not just CCD that kills bees, other things happen which are very difficult to diagnose. That latter behavior also is what makes this really difficult, if there's no bodies to look at, it's really difficult to figure out what happened.

Technology can bring benefits if, and only if, it diminishes a limitation. -Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt

Goldratt was critical of ERP systems, not because they couldn't bring benefit; rather, because many businesses adopted through a cargo cult mentality and viewed them as magical silver bullets. Many companies never understood where their bottlenecks were (Theory of Constraints) and would make things worse with an ERP system, with some going bankrupt.

I completely disagree. If you look at speeches or interviews from the 30s or the 40s, in French or English, the quality of the spoken language is significantly better than today. Sentences are better constructed, richer vocabulary. And if you look at XVIII french literature, it is night and day with anything written today.

Who’s going to pay the creators who are losing all the ad money in your possible examples? Anecdotally, myself and at least a third of my friends don’t watch more than 100 videos a month. Regardless. Of the people that do. That’s still 100 videos where ad money isn’t received. For normal creators and all the music up on YouTube, don’t they still want their money?

Unless the presumption is 100 videos with ads each month will lead to more overall ad video views. Or people turning off ad blockers or whatever people use. I find both hard to believe.

By allowing us to combine audio, video and text on a whim modern computing technology has opened the door to a whole new kind of communication and like any new form of communication anyone who strongly believes in their cause uses it as a tool to further their cause.

Right now we're going through a rough patch because the effort required to forge images/video is dropping and the old heuristic of "if it's a video it's probably legit" is going out the window. Simultaneously the internet is re-arranging who gets to gate keep mass communication and to what extent. Both these things are going to cause strife.

I think it's useful to remember what the printing press did to Christianity in Europe in the 1500s and what mass literacy did to monarchies in the late 18th through 19th century. Some blood was spilled but I think we can agree the printing press and mass literacy have been massive net positives to civilization.

Ironically you are displaying the very problem he addresses. A smart-ass "authority" simply asserting something which we should take as truth, because there is an implication that "astura" has experience in education and knows what he/she is talking about.

Ironically you prove his point. The problem today are too many astura style assertions of truth "listen to me, I have experience!!!" instead of promoting critical thinking and genuine understanding.

I love my instant pot. My favorite recipe is red beans and rice. My mother-in-law is Cajun from down on the bayou and this was one that I adapted from hers. Happy to post it if anyone is interested. It makes enough for about 6-8 one-bowl meals and freezes wonderfully, so you can always have a quick meal ready in a pinch. Takes about 10 minutes of prep and an hour to cook.
> Privacy for a price sounds like a bad precedent to set though.

If you think about it, it's not. The lack of privacy is because people expect things for free.

And physics is somewhat "understandable", as in given enough inputs (some measured physical stuff + some maths) one could say that from a certain point on he/she "understands" physics, but what should we do when it comes to social sciences?

Take history for example, we don't actually know the exact reason for why Hitler came to power. Was it the fault of the Weimar democracy? Was it the fault of the Nazis themselves only? A combination of the two? Some other third factor? And, most importantly, can that happen again? We actually do not know, and we're talking about one of the most important events of the 20th century, an event that directly caused the death through extermination of millions of people. And if you extend that line of reasoning to other similar events you'd discover that we are in the dark there, too (afaik we still have no direct proof for what caused by Great Depression, we're not even sure why the Great Depression "stopped" or when exactly it "stopped").

Which is to say that we're navigating in the dark most of the time when it comes to education, saying that we "understand" some stuff is only the exception, not the rule.
I don't think Google did roll back their main change, hiding/masking the result URLs. What they said was "We always want to make Search better, so we’re going to experiment with new placements for favicons." Sure enough, for me the icons are gone, but that's not what I care about. I mainly use DDG, which has icons that are often useful, and which has proper result URLs that are IMO essential.

Besides, Google etc. turned me off ads years ago, so they didn't work diligently enough.

OTOH, friend watching YouTube on tv is used to seeing ads. That’s their base. So it’s not as bad.

If all ad blockers stopped working right now forever. You would likely adapt and be more or less fine with (albeit more annoyed) in due time. Not like your friends relish the ads either.
It might all be true, I don't know. Still I think this comes from the wrong mindset. Rather than celebrating the fact that there will soon be an electric option for those who like masculine militaristic aesthetic, or holding a reasoned discussion on the risks of various cars, this is all about portraying those who will drive this car in a very negative light. I hope Vice will do better next time.
