I agree that it would be difficult to build a tool that could guarantee the code will never be called. Instead, I want to build a tool that can allow developers to home in on good candidates for cleanup.

I am proposing to monitor code as it runs in production. This will allow us to be confident in which code is actually getting called, and the inverse: which code is called infrequently. Then we could install probes in code that is suspected to be dead. e.g. explicitly log when the code is called. Then after an appropriately generous period of time (a month or two), if the code still has yet to be called, then we can be more confident when removing it.

If anyone wishes to read it or similar European standards, each nation is required to sell it at a price proportional to the average wage, and hence the Estonian standards body is selling it[1] for €14, instead of the £204 the British standards institute wants.

You might also be testing the inherent difficulty of lossless translation between many languages.

It would be interesting to see the same tasks with professional translators. I'm guessing some of the errors might still be there at the end, like the gnome one, whereas the last sentence would probably be folded in the previous sentences.

Do you remember which 6 languages you went through before going back to English?
As an aside, one of the simplest, cleanest and easy to read web page I've recently come across on the web. Much easier on the eyes than text files (like RFC docs), but without all the bloat and pretty ribbons of most sites these days. Appears to be hand-written HTML and doesn't even load a stylesheet.
Sony is the new king for enthusiasts who spend their time watching youtube videos of pixel peepers trying to see which lens has the highest resolution or which sensor works best at ISO 12800.

for pros, the ruggedness, battery life, support, autofocus of dslrs are still important.
I think what we're seeing is what a high-quality somewhat idealized CRT would display given a limited-quality input signal. Whereas your memories are mostly of cheap CRTs that further degrade/distort things beyond mere analog composite video signal encoding.

It's definitely an interesting approach, especially for software that relies on analog signal artifacts to smooth out their dithering and blend colors.

I had a friend who contacted me recently, and sent me a blockchain startup “to review”

I said - did you buy these because it was a friend of yours, or do you expect them to increase in value over time? Or some other reason?

She said “I don’t know why I purchased these, I purchased them without understanding it”

Sooooooo there’s your answer. The level of analysis that average people do on investments is near zero or zero

Since you deny a weird context switch for your eyes, are these actually inline elements? That would imply the size of the containers is changing. Which would surely be a weird context switch. But at least I can have no doubt what my action is about to affect - I get frustrated on sites when it says "you're about to delete these items" and i have no idea whether it agrees with me about which items I'm about to delete or not.

But if they're overlaid elements, like a context sensitive menu that contains two options - delete, cancel - is there any substantive difference between a menu and a modal? The main advantage of a classic menu over a modal seems to be that it has a implicit cancel option that is uniformally implemented. But nowadays, menus are implemented without toolkit support - yay dom, yay - so even that is not consistent.
It seems that if the cursor won’t go right as far as you want, it helps to move your finger all the way left for a while, then try moving it right again (and vice versa). But that doesn’t always work so it doesn’t fully describe the mechanic. Performing this basic function feels like learning a fighting game. You need to charge up you cursor-moving mana.
Liked the idea! Can I create a bundle of challenges and send it to a friend at once? It could be like a workout routine. Gamification works wonders when it comes to fitness, hope you will continue adding more features, good luck!

No, the advantage did not evaporate with the A7. Yes, the body of an A7 is pretty close to the mFT counterparts - though for a really tiny body look at the E-M10 and the E-M5, these are a step smaller than the Sony.

But the one thing which did not shrink are the lenses. Actually modern designs rather grow the lenses. Look at the Olympus 25/1.8, 45/1.8, they are tiny. And of course on the long side, look at the difference of a 40-150/2.8 and 300/4 to their counterparts. This is where mFT wins big time.

This is why I kept buying into mFT, because my Olympus kit in total is significantly more compact than any 35mm equivalent.

>16 bit enough

It is so believed (although there's a lack of supporting evidence, and knowledge that human hearing has excellent dynamic range), but only as long as the mastering work was well done. 24bit allows for much less destructive human error and is very welcome. Much more so than absurdly high sample rates (96KHz, reproducing sounds up to 48KHz as per Niquist), which are of dubious value.

>my sennheiser hd600s are 300Ω

At some frequencies. At some others, it's more like 600Ω. Impedance is seldom stable across the frequency range in headphones.

Amplifier design should account for this and still provide enough power[0].

Output impedance of headphone jacks should be low enough (1:10 is commonly cited, which means <2Ω in practice as 20-30Ω headphones are very common) relative to the low end of the headphone impedance range, in order to prevent the impairment of frequency response.

>Not -all- onboard cards suck of course

But most do. The design of audio circuitry in motherboards doesn't get that much attention. None of my motherboards have good sound. Flaws vary. Some are lowpassed (greedy anti-aliasing filter). Some are noisy. Most have excessive output impedance (typically more than 6Ω, and at times higher than 15Ω). None can output enough power[0] for hd600 (my favourite pair).

The obvious interpretation of this is that in some places like Italy, the older population received much more exposure than it did in the US. In Italy, this was due to so many extended families living in the same home.

In fact, things would have skewed even younger in the US except for the nursing home debacle in NY and NJ.

It's worth pointing out that there's quite a disconnect between the US media coverage of the mortality rate here, versus the higher mortality rate in Britain, France, and other EU countries. There is also a good chance that COVID mortality in the US is being significantly overcounted.

Regardless, there's little choice at this point - we need to keep the economy open as we wrestle with minimizing hospital visits and fatalities. Let's hope improved treatments are developed at a high rate!
Quite a few of the Olympus sensors are made by Sony. At any time, they could pick up some money and just ask Sony to give them a new sensor design. This is one hope I have, that after the split-off, new money is invested in updating the sensors.
I'm not sure if you're implying this is premature optimisation. It isn't.

It's a performance-sensitive standard-library function, the kind of thing that deserves optimisation in assembly. It's also the kind of problem that can be accelerated with SIMD, but that necessarily means more complex code. That's why the standard library implementations aren't always dead simple.

Here's a pretty in-depth discussion [0]. They discuss CPU throttling, caches, and being memory-bound.

I'm not American (Canadian living in Germany) and I have to say that I find using cups/spoons is much easier than pulling out a scale and weighing everything.

Let's hope this catches on just like the energy labels did. After the EU forced manufacturers to improve energy use in their devices it soon improved situations for everyone on this planet.

You've edited it since I replied—in fact you've largely rewritten it. It's a bit
dodgy to do that and then ask "Dismissive how?" as if you hadn't just changed what people were reacting to. Generally speaking, once there are replies, the courteous thing to do is to leave the original context intact and add edits in a way that makes clear what the edits are. Otherwise you pull the carpet out from under the replies, which will no longer make sense in the way they did when they were posted.

I was reacting to the word "pathetic" in your original version. In the absence of disambiguating information about your intent [1], it sounded mean. If you had posted originally what you've got there now, it wouldn't have been a problem.

Audio conferencing at low latency is already solved by things like Mumble (https://www.mumble.info/). I think adding a video feed in complete parallel (as in, use mumble as-is, do the video in another process) with no regard for latency would be a pretty good first step to see what can be achieved.

> waves with wavelengths that form a simple ratio interact to form periodic waveforms

That is certainly not the case. The superposition of waves is linear, and waves of separate frequencies do not really "interact" besides being linearly combined. The fact that a waveform is periodic is not perceptible in our ears. We hear the frequencies separately and the ratio between them does not matter.

This is not a theoretical concept, but a physical observation that anybody can check. You can readily try it with a synthesizer. Create two waveforms f(x)=sin(x)+sin(2x) and g(x)=sin(x)+sin((2+e)x) where "e" is a small irrational number. The wave f is periodic and the wave g isn't. They sound just the same: you cannot tell which one is periodic just by hearing them.
That’s just false. Brown people get shot in malls for much less.
Clojure encourages functional style code through its immutable data structures and a set of (mostly) referentially transparent functions that operate on them.

But clojure is very strictly imperative. Atoms are easily accessible in the stdlib and side effects can be called inline and hidden within functions. This masks IO from a perceived return type.

Haskell differs here because it forces you down the path of "everything explicit" and "everything referentially transparent". Essentially monads emerge as a result of this, but their use definitely feels unergonomic in clojure
Is it just me or nobody actually have problems working with non technical folks on git ?

Getting a team of designers, content writers, marketing folks to use anything beyond their daily tools over a period of time is hard.

I had the marketing team run a git managed, asset pipeline ,CI deployed Hugo static site via a CDN for three years, with great performance and high availability for three years, now we run hubspot.

Once the initial team moved on, It was next to impossible to hire people willing to work on that stack , typically new guys will know Wordpress or hubspot etc, my TAs had frustrating time sourcing, I finally had to give up .

Administrative Config in yaml/JSON files in a git repo sounded a nice idea , git gave version history rollback, audit log, branch/env, CI driven deployment all sounded great.

Same problem typical operation folks are not used to this , they want a nice UI , and keep clicking and rather than do a grep/Sed replace in a jiffy.

People just like different ways of working , it is hard for me to think graphically like a designer , I can understand that it can be hard for someone to think in text , it is better we give them tools that are comfortable with and fight other battles
Yes, that would be great :-) I think static analysis can go a long way to helping with this, but again with dynamic languages it can be hard to cover all the bases. I would welcome hearing your ideas on specific tech debt you are trying to avoid.

Some apps detect if you have a 2FA auth code copied and auto-pastes it. I think Discord might be one? I can't remember which, but I've seen it on at least one app.

I can totally expect others to detect copied URLs that may belong to the app's domain and then offer to direct you to that particular URL (for example, I think the SomethingAwful app on iOS does that - if it detects a forums.somethingawful address it'll offer to load that particular thread for you).

That said, I definitely want to see more visibility about when and why this is done. Apple are absolutely in the right to show me a popup whenever it happens, so apps are forced to be clear and transparent about it.

Ethereum (the 2nd most popular cryptocurrency system) is planning to switch to using both sharding and proof of stake instead of proof of work within the next few years, which will solve the problems of high electricity usage from mining and high transaction fees.

Ethereum is a cryptocurrency, but the system also supports tokens which are like other cryptocurrencies on the same blockchain. The DAI token on the Ethereum network is a decentralized stablecoin, pegged to stay at the price of $1 through a smart contract that automatically manages collateral to maintain the peg. The DAI token can be used as a cryptocurrency without the price fluctuation of Bitcoin or Ethereum.
This is a big issue for lots of people who use the platform for business, or the marketplace. I guess I'm lucky that I was not using FB for any of those purposes and so I had little trouble removing it from my life.

Just because something uses a grid doesn't mean it's a cellular automaton. You can probably write DF as a cellular automaton but that's probably not what happened.

If dwarfs have x,y coordinates that mark their position and the coordinates are changed when they move then it would not be a cellular automaton.

A cellular automaton would take a cell and look at surrounding cells to see if there is a dwarf that wants to move to the currently processed cell and switch the current cell to a new dwarf cell. The dwarf cell would see that the dwarf can successfully move and delete the dwarf cell.

Which method do you think is DF using?

Agreed. And I suppose that's okay to some extent, one just has to be very careful with your investments and maybe not exceed 10% for experiments like those.
Somehow that is not a real problem in practice. Maybe whitespace is not needed in paths that much. If a need to store a random byte string in a file name appears once in a year, one can encode it into hexadecimal or base64 with % replacing /.
