Large retailers can't push competitors' products to the back of the shelf to leave their cheaper alternatives in prominent display. This is basically what Amazon does once they develop a Basics product -- push it to the top of your search results, leaving the original producers down at the bottom.

There’s some static strength involved and so it’s not uncommon to “shake out” your limbs as part of a warm up or a transition between sections.

And I was trying not to lecture this young(er) instructor in front of a room of his regular students, so I didn’t feel I could do more than encourage him to dump some more adrenaline. He was trying to laugh it off, which parts of my extended family are notorious for. Nobody talks about anything.

I'd like to know more about what you found lacking in Kotlin/Native. That would seem to be the lowest-friction option, since Kotlin targets the JVM on Android and Kotlin/Native directly supports interop with Swift.

This. A function generator is not a trivial piece of digital electronics. It's a complex, highly analog beast, where the digital component of the circuit is actually rather small. Nowadays a dedicated IC (such as the XR2206) is the starting point for a home-made FG.

If you are like me you will crank up the volume over time. I definitely have hearing damage from headphone use years ago.
Additional Anecdata: I was actually kind of disturbed by how addicted by little brother (18) was to his phone when he came to visit. We had to make a house rule that you put down the phone when watching a movie. We then laughed at how he seemed to be actually twitching and jonesing for the thing.

At one point, we paused the movie due to an ambulance outside, and the boy lept from the couch to his phone to get his little fix.
That's more than reasonable discussion going on there, what a weird decision by YouTube.
I get really frustrated when people only mention Fox News and not CNN/MSNBC in the same sentence. There are people on Fox who are good, I.E. Chris Wallace. I mean he's my only example, but Jon Stewart did a skit with him and the quote that got me was, "how many times have you seen your show on my show?" It was a nod to the fact that Chris Wallace does actual news not opinion pieces. I'd actually say he's better and less opinionated than Don Lemon (CNN).

This is not me defending FOX. It's more of me railing against other forms of news that I also don't like but sometimes get a presumed pass. I see them as the opposite side of the coin.

EDIT: I know this is going to get down-voted. But if you disagree I'd really like to know why. I am someone who listens to others, and am curious why you disagree with this sentiment.

This is really interesting to see. For us (Sentry) we did not dare yet to put rust code onto the client largely because people really want bitcode support and that has been a challenge with an open source SDK because of the custom rust compiler requirements.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_number

Quote:

There are also representations like

{ 0, 1, 2, 3, … | } = ω

{ 0 | 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, … } = ε

where ω is a transfinite number greater than all integers and ε is an infinitesimal greater than 0 but less than any positive real number. Moreover, the standard arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) can be extended to these non-real numbers in a manner that turns the collection of surreal numbers into an ordered field, so that one can talk about 2ω or ω − 1 and so forth.
Google is one of the worst offenders, had a user tell me that Chrome deleted all of her passwords. Try to look up solutions online and all I find are tons of community forums with 60-80 posts each of people talking about how all of their passwords are gone and there is no solution/remedy offered to anyone.
You can try to dismiss the fact that circumventing debate and transparency in government is authoritarian as Godwin and run your apologetics for such authoritarianism while two countries have just slipped into literal fascism and fascist parties literally founded by retired Nazis are pulling 25% in some European countries if you want.
I think engineers are partially to blame for these type of situations.

I can just imagine the internal scenario, the rep escalated, there's some support ticket sitting on some engineering teams backlog somewhere. Rep can't do anything since it's all automated, have to wait for the devs to do something about it.

The systems probably lack manual overrides, or other such measure. Maybe they were flagged for fraud, but somehow the payload got stuck in some error state somewhere, and now there's an engineer that needs to figure out how to get things moving again. To the engineering team, that's 1 error out of hundreds of thousands of requests per day. This is low severity.

I guess my point is that, as an engineer myself, I often feel very disconnected from the users themselves. We see errors and issues as percentage of total traffic. Low number of errors, not important. We don't always stop to think, wait is there an actual person or business that relies on this for their livelihood? This one error, what's the impact to the user that depends on my systems?

The same way that big corporations start to see users and employees as just a number, I think so do we often fall into this trap. We're always focused on the scale out, never the quality of service of individual requests. It always seems more important to launch in one more region, than to fix the hand full of errors and corrupted requests in the existing one.

I think you'll find that many of the difficult problems in this space worth solving require a great deal of domain specific knowledge, expertise and specialized apps for dealing with it.

For example:
I'd like to find Chinese listening material, that is at my level, with pinyin and character subtitles, that follows a certain word repetition strategy optimized for listening learning. Plus, it needs to be able to playback at a fast speed and not too fast speed.

there's a lot of chinese audio podcasts out there but finding one that's exactly at my level and entertaining is challenging. Some apps do it really well, like "immersive chiense" but they need more material. Du Chinese is also a great contender but there's no word progression to the audio, so any listening you do, even if it's intermediate, contains words from HSK 5 and beyond. then those words aren't repeated for a long time, which means you have to repeat the same dialogue many times.

And those are the 2 best Chinese listening apps out of 100s of crappy ones.

the point is, these problems are complicated.

This is all theoretically true, but my inclination is that healthcare cannot be prioritized in a meaningful way within a meaningful time frame in many countries. I would love for India to succeed, but it seems incredibly unlikely that they can delay mass deaths for the time it will take to roll out a vaccine, because it does not seem possible for India to elevate medical access to comparable levels with developing countries per capita in the same time frame. So this delay is just heaping on unnecessary economic damage which in many ways is linked to health. Either way, I wish them the best.

Is your comment motivated by actual confusion, misguided rhetorical posturing, or trolling? If the first, I'm happy to walk you through the reasoning should camelite's comment prove insufficient.
While I understand the value in a small language that you can wrap your head around, I think that that is a relatively uncommon problem that real-world language developers shouldn't be catering to today (and C certainly isn't small or simple). These days, programs are simply expected to do more while not suffering from the kinds of security vulnerabilities that C code is so chock-full of. A lot of the solutions for these problems necessitate an increase in complexity.

I can understand that "you don't have to use any features if you don't want to" is somewhat silly when talking about C++, since it has so many features that can bite you when you least expect it, especially when dealing with years of legacy code. D is far better designed than C++, however; it would not take you nearly as long to learn enough D to be comfortable reading others' code.

All I'm trying to say is that "C, but without the problems" might actually look more like BetterC than you think it does. True zero-cost abstractions are clearly still an unsolved problem, but abstractions are a necessity. C's niche is rapidly disappearing.

Also, out of curiosity, what don't you like about Zig? I saw this on your website, but I couldn't find any specific issues you'd had with it.

> Wow, Zig is competitive with assembly?

> Yeah, I totally had the same reaction. I’m interested to see how it measures up under more typical workloads. People keep asking me what I think about Zig in general, and I think it has potential, but I also have a lot of complaints. It’s not likely to replace C for me, but it might have a place somewhere in my stack.

Yes, you're wasting your time if you compare my size to the size of an infinite universe. If you really want to waste your time that way, you don't want to use real numbers. On the real number line my size is exactly zero. You need to go into infinitesimals, which are out of place when you're looking at decimal notation, which is only for real numbers.
What people are (or at least, I am) saying is that yes this behavior is technically legal, and that's a problem for those who care about human dignity and the ideal of the social contract.

A bad pattern I’ve been trying to sort out for myself lately is that I pick projects that sound like I would be good at and that could be interesting instead of picking projects that look like ones I actually feel nostalgia for.

It’s like I’m always chasing after the Bad Boys or something.

Two of the biggest nostalgia experiences have been embedded or mobile projects. I got out when it became clear that the people who run the credit cards make all the money and treat you like a mushroom (keep you in the dark and feed you bullshit). I told a friend at the time that AT&T is a racket for converting VC dollars into free QA.

Objectively, how are things in mobile now? Should I have ended my self-imposed exile ages ago? Are they just desktop apps with limited pixels, or is there still skill involved with squeezing things into small spaces?
I could see that being true in some cases. The iterative process can work quite well if done correctly. You certainly don't want to solve problems that won't exist, but you also need to put a reasonable amount of forethought into the possible consequences of the changes so that you don't create more problems (push new bugs in with that code fix).

The problem with elections is a bit different. If the elections were manipulated either through people voting who shouldn't have, or foreign governments, do you think the people who benefited from that who are now in power will fix that issue? Probably not, especially when there is most likely close to 50% of the population who feel the person was their preferred candidate anyways.
It will be hard to walk back from the election night hysteria we've developed as a populace.
Just curious: what are using instead? I use a homegrown solution, at least 3 orders of magnitude cheaper than anything I’ve found.

(Hi!) I agree the bitcode situation with Rust is painful. Our SDK isn't open source so we're able to sidestep a lot of that pain but we still do have to be mindful of interop issues with the LLVM version we use to build our SDK and the XCode version our customers use to build their apps. It would be nice if Apple and LLVM committed to some bitcode stability guarantees that would make a this easier to handle.
Yes, I'm just trying to emphasize that there is real serious mathematics behind his point, it's not just a matter of philosophical taste.
Which is a whole different problem altogether. I honestly have never understood what the purpose of even letting people out of prison was. Really, think about it.

Here you are, you've been 'punished' for a time the state has deemed appropriate. Now you're out. Very little support. No real integration plans, at least not formal ones. No oversight to see whether or not you fall into patterns of behavior from before. Undercut, actively, via loss of certain rights (gun ownership, voting as examples) in your attempts at integrating to society. And it's almost impossible to get anything but the most entry level, low paying jobs.

The US really has a hard on for kicking people when they make a mistake. It's almost a sport, it seems.
Thank you for the reference! Your explanation makes sense to me. I'm curious if students that struggle with learning decimal expansions and limits are just subconsciously rejecting the non-constructive foundations of the math they're learning. Probably not, but it's fascinating regardless.

Just pattern matching and destructuring being in the language from 1.0 makes Rust a much different beast ergonomics wise than Java, Python and Go. It makes it different than Scala even, as it feels more cohesive to me.

There are many things that could be done to make Rust easier at the cost of bare metal semantics, which is why they aren't done, but I am quite happy with the current state of the language and even with those tradeoffs I agree that Rust has great chances of "taking over" a wide range of spaces that are currently dominated by specific technologies.
