What does writing in Markdown have to do with the complexity of the topic? Heather Miller is an assistant professor at CMU and well respected and certainly an expert in this context.

It doesn't come off as snobby or even pretentious, merely facile.

Dismissing content because it's written in markdown without providing good reasons, such as quality of content or specifically how the presentation hinders proper communication is indeed quite lazy. If you want people to take you seriously, please try to be more precise in your criticism.

Not just that Apple has actually started to sell users' data to Goldman Sachs as well. The worst part is, this is opt-in. Not opt out. And opt out is incredibly so backward that you need to email some address instead of just clicking a button.

Metastream already does this and it has to manually support a few hundred sites and the experience is truly awful. There are some sites where you have to manually enable autoplay but you know what?

At the same time startups in Germany are heavily lobbying for additional provisions in the economic relief programs to cover startups as well.

Reading between the lines, "startups" (they are companies and thus eligible anyway based on standard conditions) refers to companies relying completely on external funding in the pursuit of positive cash flow and profitability further down the line. Looks a lot like a covered bailout for VCs and other investors. Because if a company was profitable before Corona, meaning banks would have provided credit already, the government is making it a lot easier and cheaper to get additional credit lines.
The fact that Electron apps try to always fit everything into one window is an antipattern for many kinds of applications.

Sheetfu Table Module – Python Google Sheets ORM
Instacart should be considered a last resort by anyone actually thinking about this. To start with, the whole way they distribute work is a complete shitshow (first come, first serve after jobs are posted at a preset time-- so in many markets, you have to login at exactly the right minute or all the worthwhile jobs get scooped up, yes literally within one minute).

Also the pay is crap, and you sometimes end up with orders of multiple cases of bottled water that are very difficult & time consuming to wrangle, and you'll get paid the same as if they bought the equivalent dollar amount worth of breakfast cereal. Customers frequently don't tip.

I found Uber & Lyft to be a far, far easier job for probably twice as much pay. Of course, right now I'm doing none of it. Fortunately my S.O. finally found a decent job and is able to work from home.

Some here are saying "Why not just use Rust/D/Zig/Nim/Crystal if you're going to break backwards compatibility?"

The Nordic Way to Economic Rescue
This article speaks to me. For language learning and teaching, take a technology like Mumble(1) with positional audio and integrate it into a game so you hear those around you as in real-life?

Or what about taking a chapter from a textbook and making it into a level in a game? The spatial world would help players to remember and fix things in their memory, and they could always return to review.

Or a game tailored for language learning through real world situations, where a teacher sets up a 'lesson' and then the students bring it to life. Maybe that shopkeeper is a native speaker calling in and playing. The possibilities are endless.

And this sounds amazing; bringing physicality to ephemeral webpages that are here and gone the next moment:

"I could place my personal site on a street near the websites of my friends. We could form a little village. I could then go to my favorite sites and walk around nearby to find sites like them. This is a spatial interface that would give us a new and intuitive way for navigating the Internet and understanding how websites are related each other."

Formally ignoring or forbidding volatile where it presently doesn't mean anything (despite fervent wishing) wouldn't break anything. Compilers would of course continue supporting whatever they do, but would be allowed to warn about dodgy uses.

On MSVC, volatile has traditionally meant something akin to atomic. It still will, regardless of what the Standard says and other compilers do.

I think you don't know what "profits" are, i.e. don't know accounting.

CAPEX is written down via depreciation charges over many years. I.e. if you buy something for $1M, and it has an accounting life of 10 years, you book $100k losses per year.

What you're thinking about is called "cash flow", not "profits".

> python is very expressive, hence the code base have way less numbers of lines than in C++

This doesn't match reality. In reality, many Python projects have way more lines of code than equivalent C++ projects. Probably because of the 'expressiveness' you cite; you can't really showcase your love of coding and job security though artificial complexity without 'expressive' bells and whistles. (This is the idea that lead to languages like Go, I'm pretty sure.)

That said, C++ is plenty 'expressive' itself.
There is no coincidence, the reason is "Political Pressure". It's essentially like a conspiracy but nobody is hiding it.
> but here's a few more arguably transformational consequences:

You are confusing important happenings to transformational changes ( ie paradigm shifts ).

Nothing you listed are transformation changes to the world order. The soviet union existed before ww2 and they were a dominant force before ww2. Communist china rose within the ( american/anglo-american/western/international ) world order.

Probably the most important geopolitic event in the 20th century was the collapse of the soviet union. But it wasn't transformational. It didn't cause a paradigm shift. The world order remained.

> but it seems inarguable that things changed quite significantly

Change happened within a western world order. It wasn't transformational to the world order.

Lots of history happened after ww2. What didn't happen was a transformational change to the world order. Man landed on the moon. Didn't change the world order.

> C++ is deprecating things over time (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support), for example some uses of the volatile keyword (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p115...).

The committee does a lot of work to keep the standard compatible with c++ as it is used and this proposal seems to be a good example of them trimming out dead and bloated parts, without negatively impacting existing code.

The original proposal for that deprecation points out a lot of issues. Basically it boils down to the fact that many operations were badly specified, outright misleading, predate the c++ memory model or were artifacts of maintaining the parallel to const that volatile had in C at a large cost and without people actually using it, one example they could track down even noted how it did not behave the same way as primitives would.

Population was balancing itself for millions of year. We call overpopulation a population big enough to annoy us.
Many people don't realize just how conservative C++ is (the OP only briefly mentions this). The committee not only avoids breaking existing source code, but even binaries, although binary compatibility is not defined in the standard at all.

C++ 11, 14, 17, 20, and 23 are all binary compatible (modulo some possible oversights). There are many quality-of-life improvements that got voted out because then a binary compiled in C++11 wouldn't be compatible with one built in C++23 anymore.

As a simple example ([1] has many more): the only reason we have both std::scoped_lock and std::lock_guard is because changing the definition of the latter would have required re-compilation of existing code, so a new class had to be introduced.

ABI stability even overrides performance in committee decisions (see the std::regex example, but I also heard it affects the footprint of unique_ptr - edit: found it [2]).

tl;dr breaking source code compatibility seems way off if implementors don't even dare to break binary compatibility.

> There is also a beefed up fallback method in the works that will allow users to share more personal data on an opt-in basis with Goldman Sachs if you do not at first get approved

So anonymised by default.

Opt-in, IF you want to share more personal data.

Do you also understand it's Goldman Sachs that run the credit cards, accounts, etc, they're not just randomly sharing data with Goldman Sachs?
Oneweb's satellites are 'bent pipes', which means they don't decode/route the data. They act like a mirror just reflecting signals back.

That used to be a great design when satellites were expected to last 30 years, and the 'bent pipe' design meant data compression, encoding, error correction and modulation could be upgraded without changing the satellite hardware.

In today's world where satellites are lower, cheaper and only last ~5 years, it makes more sense for the satellite to be able to decode and route data, which gives it a significant capacity boost for the same power and spectrum usage (since you aren't amplifying and forwarding noise). Phased arrays with hundreds or thousands of beams also don't work well with the bent pipe architecture, since cross-talk between streams is hard to reduce.
