Train conductors do not require second-level reaction time. A train cannot stop in five seconds, no matter how quick the conductor is. People who are stopped on train tracks get killed, and the train operator is very rarely to blame.
Netlify is impressively slick and streamlined.. It took like 5 minutes to host a Nuxt app from a private repo with SSL.. And that includes setting up the Netlify account.

Pompeo and Pence are Christian Dominionists. They believe in the rapture. Armageddon is real, and to bring about the end times and second coming, 2/3rds of Jewish blood must saturate the land of Israel. The other 1/3 become Christians (of course). So they aren't friends of Israel as it seems, they need them for their perverse eschatology.

Trump is the least interesting or relevant aspect.
The US also saw a short term boom after WWI just look at the 20’s. That doesn’t explain why the boom continued for so long after WWII. Also, the green revolution was more a global phenomenon, the US saw significant agricultural productivity growth in the 1940’s from increased mechanization and fertilizer usage.

For comparison I would suggest you look at how common and large US recessions where from 1800-1900. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recessions_in_the_Unit...

Rust objects can always be moved to arbitrary places in memory, so I'm not sure how "in place" construction of a Rust object can even make sense unless it explicitly involves the Pin<P> feature to prevent moves. This is quite different from C/C++ where there's no default expectation that a constructed object can be bitwise-copied somewhere else in memory. Even Box<T> is really a special case since the object is meant to be accessed via an owning pointer or a (shared or mutable) reference; when accessing the underlying T by value, that always involves a move of the object so again there's no such thing as being "in place".

Yeah, I agree. To really demonstrate the best possible IDE error recovery that LR/GLR can provide, pairing a robust batch error recovery strategy with Wagner's (and your and Lukas's) history-sensitive approach is probably the way to go.

At the time that I was implementing error recovery for Tree-sitter, that felt beyond my "complexity budget", since batch error recovery was already not trivial, and the batch approach was good enough for the features I was building on GitHub/Atom. Someday, I could imagine augmenting it with history-sensitive behavior. I am thankful that Lukas has helped to "pave that path" so thoroughly.

Outside of the obvious "don't buy a gas guzzler" tropes, most of the best ways to save money will end up costing you time. Whether it's living with a longer commute or working more hours, there is a point at which people are just happier living their lives than wasting years in their prime scrounging and being miserable to afford a downpayment on a house in worse condition than what they could afford to rent. Big budget decisions like vacations and cars will obviously factor into this in a big way, but nobody's financial situation is changing massively over a Netflix subscription.

Following your own logic, it's almost like saying how dare you say you had _any_ budget for eating out? Why not just save even more money?

Because that is the ethical mandate of the profession. “Profession” as in the root of the word to profess a vow. That consideration doesn’t come with the caveat of “as long as it’s convenient to your career.”

I get that it’s not easy. I just don’t like how people will give themselves ethical loopholes in a professional realm but not a personal one.

Diana Johnstone has an interesting take on the situation. It is a fringe opinion, however, and I default to the simpler, more widely-held narrative of what took place.

I thought this looked familiar, and my suspicions were correct. The wreck of Pegasus near the posthumously named "Pegasus Airfield" at McMurdo Station, Antarctica was a Connie.

Crashed in 1970 with no deaths, the aircraft still lies partially buried in snow on the iceshelf about 5-10 miles from the station. People stationed at McMurdo still make little field trips out to the wreckage to take pictures and walk ontop of it, etc.

Maybe people in middle America already have enough space to not feel pinched so that extra space is viewed as an amenity not a huge factor that they demand? In my experience in denser high COL areas space is priced basically linearly on the margin. In NYC going from 1 br to 2 br can significantly affect your quality of life so people are willing to pay an extra $1000.
That racists exist is not a valid argument. And you heard it here first, no Republican will see the inside of the Oval Office until maybe 2037, and you have yourself and Trump to thank. He has single handedly wrecked the Republican Party. He never should have gotten this nomination. Republicans should have looked everywhere for a young John McCain if they hoped to win. Trump is a disgrace, one long skid mark, like the one in your shorts, since he took office.
Interesting take. The last time one party had control for 16 years was after Hoover, who was considered one of the worst in history, but there was a World War in there to help the Democrats retain control.

So it'll be interesting to see if plays out.

If the Democrats are smart, and Biden wins, they'll convince Biden to step down after 25 months so Harris can take over. Then she'd still be eligible to run for two more terms, but run as an incumbent both times.

"Use this gnome 3 extension" is never the answer to work around gnome 3 problems: in my experience extensions either don't work or stop working at the first 'apt-get update' you do, or just consume like 40 gigs of memory if left running for a week. Extensions are the devs way of saying "we don't care about you, but we're going to pretend to care by allowing you to write software that we're going to break".
That's funny, because I see the opposite. Perl 6 was a failure that had to be spun into a separate language and people stayed with perl 5, recently work on perl 7 started, but as far as I know perl 5 is still the version in use, recently FreeBSD forced me to update perl to version 5.32.

Regarding Python, I no longer see 2.7 in the wild (I have no doubt it is still in some places) all projects I'm working on are in Python 3. AWS Lambda supports 3.8 (which is the latest stable version), Ubuntu comes with 3 installed by default. FreeBSD set 3.7 as default, depreciated and will remove 2.7 completely by the end of this year.

Many Python 3 packages were released as python 3 only, the packages that that previously supported 2 dropped their support. Currently running 2.7 is a liability. Not as much that it is EOL and there are no security fixes anymore, but also packages dropping support (which is IMO a bigger deal).

Placement new is just avoiding a copy.

Without placement new allocating an object involves:

a) Constructing the object on the stack

b) Copying it to the heap

With placement new you construct the object directly on the heap, thus avoiding a copy.

It's purely an optimization to avoid a single copy. It's a bit surprising that Rust doesn't have it, given the focus on control over such things, and that it had an experimental 'box' keyword for this at 1.0.

edit: To be clear, the extra copy is not guaranteed - compilers can elide it. In order to help the compiler do this you can look at crates like boxext, which provide extension methods on Box that help the compiler to remove the copy. But placement new guarantees this.
And the question is whether it's better to:

Incur cost being an outlier and then hope it all comes crashing down and you're left standing. I.e. do everything right and be financially prudent.

Or:

Just do what everybody else is doing and hope that you'll get bailed out eventually at the expense of the group that chose the other option.
In theory if the cycles are faster, and not 30+ years, there's not so much pressure to make sure everyone gets a piece of the pie. If you're churning out brand new planes every decade, you can stagger the spread.
That article could use some light editing, at least for that section. Right there in the section referenced it says that it comes from boxing:

You dont make games multi-platform by bringing an API from a closed platform to an open one. You do it either by writing to multiple APIs (extra work) or by using an API that is already multi-platform.

Microsoft proprietary APIs are not and can not be part of a free software platform, that is a contradiction. They can be part of a new MS-Linux platform masquerading as the real thing until support for the real thing dries up.

> I contend that it's not even just this, but also that within metros millenials are highly skewed to a handful of elite neighborhoods.

In St. Louis there's a small but frothy back-to-the-city movement that's driving prices up to new highs in a handful of trendy neighborhoods. And it's all anybody can talk about. It's a kind of synecdoche for "the housing market" to reference these tiny neighborhoods while using cargo-cult language about "gentrification" that people learned on twitter.

Make no mistake: prices are way up in those neighborhoods. But they're walking distance to far more affordable housing. It's really bizarre.
That's still 20 years, and the mandate wasn't terribly successful. Lots of systems from the late 80s and 90s were developed in non-Ada languages, including new development (not just continuations of older systems). Now, whole platforms, that was probably harder to move away from the mandate until later. But components could be and were developed in other languages.
