>All of that developers work on zen would be available to the zig foundation if it were licensed GPL.

False. the changes and the license only need to be extended to Zen's customers. They don't need to be provided back to Zig.

>If it were licensed GPL and they were violating that license they could sue in the legal system instead of writing a blog post with dubious effect.

Suing isn't a good idea even if you have a case. The blog post does more with less effort.

Even if Zig and Zen were GPL the employees agreement can be structured such that his work on Zen can not be used for Zig. There's an FAQ for this sort of stuff: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#DevelopChangesU...
I know this is true just anecdotally. I'm totally ripped after a 7 day fast with none of my muscle wasting away, just the fat.
You can make public DNS records for your zerotier/wireguard/tailscale ip addresses (and make lets encrypt certs for them).

some routers block rfc1918 addresses from dns lookups, but you can turn that off, or put your virtual lan in a different range.

Then you can have sql01.example.network point to 100.13.14.15
Sketchup is good enough for projects like these. It's a little awkward because it doesn't have the concept of a body, only faces. But that's only relevant if you're doing simulations on the design.

The biggest issue is that the web version is lacking but the desktop version hasn't been updated in like a decade. So be sure to have a shortcut list handy on another screen because you have to use shortcuts if you're going to be remotely productive.
Consumer Reports has a lot of good advice on smaller items like picture frames, but it doesn't come free (which is a good thing tbh).
This is a good essay. However, the author didn't mention Pratt Parsing [1], which cleanly addresses [2] the shortcomings of recursive descent parsing. Parser generators look promising until you actually start building anything of moderate complexity. Then it's a constant cycle of kludges and hair pulling.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_parser

[2] Mostly. The Pratt model does introduce potential context around operators (depending on the grammar). It's easy enough to extend the basic Pratt model to support this, but it isn't spelled out in many examples or literature.
Yeah, in fact, Postgres encourages the use of TEXT over VARCHAR. The documentation even states:

There is no performance difference among these three types, apart from increased storage space when using the blank-padded type, and a few extra CPU cycles to check the length when storing into a length-constrained column.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-character.h...
Depends on the character and situation. In most cases it is probably cripplingly bad. The relations to the judges is probably what makes or breaks the approach.

But there are advantages of people thinking you stupid or incompetent that are exploitable.
There's a lot of scope to simplify the developer stack. The web was never meant to be used for apps and it shows, badly.

For the operating system layers, if you build a machine that doesn't expose an ISA, in which all code is run via a polyglot VM like the GraalVM/JVM, then you can more easily design a competitive CPU because suddenly you can use flat, direct physical address space mappings with an ISA that is throwing out old instructions whenever you need to. No need for an MMU, TLBs and all the other page table walking logic, IPC can be drastically simplified.

Singularity / Midori was the most complete exploration of this concept, by Microsoft Research. Unfortunately they kind of went down a few bad R&D paths, in particular, by trying to match the performance of C++ code and relying too much on formal methods - i.e. all stuff interesting to implementors - instead of researching things interesting to developers.

That's why the right way to re-invent computing is top down, not bottom up. Take an existing Linux distro and start to replace bits one step at a time, starting with the desktop environment, the app and data models, network protocols etc. But all the drivers and filesystem goop remains the same - limited potential for innovation there. That said, if you want to, these days you can reimplement drivers in userspace using whatever framework you like, reducing Linux to basically a fat microkernel.
Their point of view seems kind of right to me in that they may be suboptimal design decisions in hindsight, but changing them now will break all existing integrators. If you're going to break everyone anyways, might as well switch to a whole different library, or alternatively give the redone version a new name so nobody assumes you can just upgrade it and it'll be fine.
ByteDance is not selling TikTok anymore?
"lock-in" of _____ to ____ ? Do you mean making it more difficult for the employee to eventually leave / how?
Oh no, please no. The user interface is bad enough for all these parents just trying to get their kids online and doing two things at once on a Chromebook. I cannot imagine the support cost if they were using free software given that's much harder to setup. Also, training is not going to happen. The UI needs to be discoverable.
> Why can China manufacture clothing cheaply? Well, they have hundreds of thousands of Uighur prisoners being 're-educated' via forced labor.

This is complete nonsense. I hate CCP as much as anyone outside it but let's be real for a second: China became a manufacturing center way before the islamic terror attacks (like the Kunming attack of 2014) incitated them to take action against that ideology in East Turkestan.
I significantly prefer blister packs over pill bottles. Blister packs are easier to travel with. They take up less space in my medical cabinet. I can see how many pills I have left without looking inside of an opaque container. I actually would feel safer if my pills were packaged in a factory by a machine than at a pharmacy by a human.
> If it does what I need but has a dozen security flaws because the maintainer just doesn't care anymore it makes a difference

Does it? The alternative might be to write your own code, which will carry your own flavour of security issues. No matter what code you adopt, be it your own or someone else's, will require some level of commitment in maintaining it.
I wonder what are the tradeoffs between targeting C and targeting LLVM/LLIR? Is it mostly "I know C"? Given that LLVM is purpose-built for this kind of use case, I would expect that it would be the better target, but I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject.
Indeed, Java's notation for lambdas is marginally better than C++'s, where you have to use braces and an explicit return even for tiny lambdas.

$5k bonus and I have to stay at the company for a year. If I moved to Seattle (0% income tax), I would not have a pay cut and I would no longer need to pay California's 9.4%. Easy raise and bonus :).

Similar story for Orlando, but with a 10% cut. 10% pay cut and saving 9.3% in income and ~1.3% sales tax. Housing would be about $500/mo cheaper ($6k/yr) and way more comfortable to work from.
Yeah you're right. It was just a jab at "SLAMS" in the headline, but probably misguided on my part. These clickbait crutches are getting tiresome.

> This seems the sort of critique that gives the art world a bad name.

Yes, and the remainder of the article twirls around and around and around, until saying it could be Michelangelo, but some people think the hair looks like Heraclitus. Nobody knows, yet the author ignores that and assumes it's Heraclitus and then just drives into multiple conjectures to construct an imagined artistic premise behind an ink pot.
Because you believe in personal freedom?
totally! I see these tactics as observations about human behaviours and ways to navigate them. the patterns generalize across different domains and are useful for understanding the world

Looking at maps of the fires can give a sense of what fraction has burned.

These fires are certainly large, but there's plenty more that can burn.
Google search can be fast because thousands of computers complete your request at once, whereas the index of junk on your Windows box only has the one little computer to serve it. Same reason why operations in Gmail are so much faster than a local client like macOS Mail: the instantaneous compute power brought to bear on your request while it is running is thousands of times larger than one computer.

What was being trying drawn was a parallel from “A numerical system can be hard to prove correct, in unexpected ways” to “A human system can be hard to prove correct, in unexpected ways”. Recognising this is part of accepting ones own limits. Gödel in no way proves this, as you note, and my wording should have made it more clear that I understand that. The essence of his result is easily analogised, though.

IMO it's not really 'not important' as much as 'not honest'.

Someone, somewhere at that company chose to hire someone... and they know what they want them to do. Why aren't they telling me?

Here I am sitting down expecting to divulge all sorts of things / do a dance, but they can't tell me what they want...

There's all sorts of reasons to not tell anyone / corporate circumstances, but it's a really bad foot to start off with / makes me worry.
I was shocked that the industry grew from $15 billion to $135 billion in a decade, but it looks like back in 2010 the actual size was about $80 billion. Not that I think he was being misleading or anything, I'm sure it was more of an offhand comment.
Elon has been pushing conspiracy theories about short sellers for years. As a direct consequence of this, there are many commenters on this site who believe that short selling is generally nefarious and some who even think it should be banned altogether.

Funny how the possibility of a lying short seller gets all their consternation while lying CEOs do not.
> One potential downside to steady regimented fasting _when combined_ with caloric restriction, is a decrease in your basal metabolic rate (BMR).

Check out The Complete Guide to Intermittent Fasting. The research he cites shows that the effect you describe occurs in caloric restriction diets, not fasting. Fasting increases HGH and maintains BMR.

Perhaps what you are describing is the early days of fasting when your body is becoming fat adapted and you feel a bit sluggish, but after a short period your energy levels return to normal (for me it was less than a few weeks, 5 years ago, and my wife just started fasting with me and she is adapted and back to full energy while fasting after two weeks).
Embedding an app is a great growth hack.

But why not also have a standalone to build stronger affiliation?
As others have noted this is a thinly veiled PR piece (nothing wrong with it, but the angle is not immediately apparent).

From the post:

> With Jenkins, you can try and build a CD platform yourself, but be aware you’ll need a whole team for it, a load of time and maintenance. Microtica enables you to define complex cloud infrastructure through full integration with AWS and Kubernetes. Automate your deployments and deliver on the cloud with confidence.

Not surprising then that it doesn't even mention all the widely used alternatives: CircleCI, GitLab, Travis, etc.
No, Zig's creators putting up a stink about a for-profit fork (a developer IP assignment clause, how.. actually quite common, come to think of it) sounds like they made a decision that they now regret, and so they'll use whatever tactics they can to pull people off the fork.

And lay off the personal attack, 'k?

To be fair I didn't see a ton of "CS-defying" claims as in they were impossible, however he made a ton of claims that would put his language on par with languages with huge teams of people, several with major companies backing them, with far more resources.

It was like, really? You're going to have all these features that teams of engineers have been working on for decades (in many cases)? And do them flawlessly? You're also going to beat Zig, Nim, and Go - in far less time?

I've got no problem with projects like this for fun, but it's being marketed as a full fledge project.
Classroom is also is very difficult for less-privileged students to use - speaking as someone who used to rely on a 4 GB of RAM netbook with a Pentium and was still using it for part of this quarantine, even with Linux things really get slow.

We went with Moodle because it was easier to setup and maintain. It also is much less stressful on the client computer. If you read the Canvas install, its pretty much another group who advertises open source but then has an installation procedure that truly sucks. Canvas wants you to pay for hosting. Moodle is super easy by comparison.
I read this and realized I fully support landlord tech.

- Tenant screening? I want to live with good neighbors.

- Cameras in the apartment building? Yes please. I want to catch package thieves.

- Brokers for home sales? Absolutely - traditional brokers take 3-6% and drive up the cost of housing.

- Rent to own? The renter / owner divide has gotten wider in cities and we need solutions to fix this.

Landlord tech is certainly not good for city renters who think they deserve lower than market rent purely on account of (1) how long they have lived in the city and (2) how little they earn. But being pro tenant doesn't mean you need to oppose everything that landlords do. Technology is one the very very few ways an oppressive system can change. The oppressors are not always landlords - they are brokers, real estate developers, law makers, voters, other tenants who sit on their rent controlled housing until they die.

P.S. I'm a tenant paying market price for rental housing.
Strong disagree on his comments about performance, unless you know that your inputs will never be "big". Modern computers are fast yes, but modern data sets are also often massive. Thousands of lines a second is not good, its like 1% of what the hardware is capable of. For a personal project or as part of a product with constrained input sizes that may be fine but don't release that to the world for unknown input sizes.

Because the CI and hosting platform ecosphere has changed a lot in the last 10 years. If Jenkins has not adapted to suit the needs of devops engineers, then engineers will find something that does.
>That is, until you click even accidentally on a single outrage clickbait video, then youtube would immediately suggest at least 20 other videoa of the same kind and you have to click “not interested” to videos for several weeks until your feed is sane again.

For me it takes a single round of a few "Not interested" clicks. Definitely not weeks, or even days.

Agreed. I think "server-agnostic" or "server-oblivious" would have been a better name.
I agree, anti-aliasing is certainly still required at 400dpi. Although subpixel anti-aliasing is not.

> We should remove all peoples' liberties to protect them from all threats.

Well, that's a bit far. We just want to protect our human trafficking trade, our customers don't want to risk dying of COVID-19, nor do we want to expose our product to an outbreak, that'd just be bad business. The restrictions are necessary and the vaccine can't come fast enough, our COVID-19 free stock is dwindling fast and we will need more humans that are immune our our whole trade will collapse, and that will NOT be good for the global economy and the heads of state we've strategically positioned.
Jenkins is fantastic, my only issue with it is that I can't decide if I like Groovy or hate it.

This is really bad form though, advertising your proprietary product by bashing a popular open source version. Your build process is something you don't want to have to rewrite just because some executive got taken out to lunch. I can't imagine any non free alternative gaining any traction.

I had a similar experience with my first extended fast. I was just going to do three days, but I felt really good and not at all hungry at that point, so I extended it a day. But when went to break the fast, as soon as I started eating the light salad and broth I had made, I became instantly ravenous and no longer had any self control. So what started as a light salad ended with mozzarella sticks and a whole pack of Oreos. I no longer keep junk food in the house if I'm doing a fast.

The salt and other electrolytes is crucial as you mentioned. If you don't supplement you'll actually get some pretty intense cravings. It was the first time I understood why deer love salt licks. I would have licked on one of those like it was a tootsie pop.
I think I provided plenty of reasons why a typical school wouldn’t deal with open source. It’s not about something being “mandatory”
or not. Schools have budgets and employees just like a company, and they don’t have specialized staff skilled in technology with ample free time to do all the extra configuration and management that most open source software demands.

Sure, they can purchase hosted enterprise versions of open source software. Of course, enterprise open source solutions have to compete on the same playing field as proprietary solutions (and many of them do! E.g. Gitlab).

Why should a school district care if there’s source code available? What are they going to do with it?

RMS subscribes to the flawed idea that the legitimately admirable ideals of FSF/GNU are important to everyone because they’re important to him. The idea that someone in charge of any organization, school, or business is going to make purchasing decisions based on ideology is somewhat naive.
For Facebook groups, yes, this is a big problem. That's one reason why I don't use Facebook. For one's personal feed, I don't think the same issue necessarily applies.

In France, from where I stand (I don't have close muslim friends), they also have large meals during the night.

I don't know if that was always the case in history of this religion, maybe in the past the night meal was simply a shared meal with the group, of normal size.

It seems that in your case and mine, we're seeing something that has more to do with symbolism and morals (no gluttony, more thoughtful days, sharing, empathy).
I doubt there is a significant enough amount of those materials being burned. Millions of acres of forest has burned compared to relatively few buildings.
That is not quite true in the case of Visual Studio. There is a community edition, but it is only free under a very constrained set of circumstances (mostly company revenue < 100.000$/year, IIRC). Most business need to buy Visual Studio Professional to legally use that IDE.
The 'only' reasons (plural) that your laptop does not run Itanium:
- battery life: an Itanium in a laptop would run for less than an your
- too hot: Itanium servers ran incredibly hot due to power. A laptop would probably catch fire in short order
- Windows was not supported on Itanium
- cost: would you pay $5K for an Itanium laptop?
I fast regularly and have a 5-6 hour eating window. During that window I just cannot eat more than 1500 calories. If typical caloric reduction can trigger starvation type response in the body, why does it not happen when we reduce calories during fasting?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not even sure how blister packs help protect against accidental overdose beyond the protection you'd get from just counting the pills in the bottle. In either case, you could accidentally skip a day and double dose later on based on the number of pills remaining, especially if you aren't sure what day you started taking the medication. I can definitely see the benefit of a product that doesn't rely on user reporting to track doses.
> If zig were licensed GPL, the zig foundation would be able to sell permissive licenses to companies

That would be against the spirit of GPL, which is ideologically opposed to all proprietary software.
I would caution you to only go for that type of reduced salary arrangement as a last resort. 2 years out is very different from a decade, and getting a job at market salary is probably well within your reach. A company so concerned that you might not meet the bar that they don't want to pay you what you're worth is also more likely to decide that you don’t, in fact, meet the bar.
LMS we still host (Moodle), but student registration is just cheaper and easier to get a company to host (We use Empower).

I've noticed even the strapped for money TCUs have hosted LMS more often than not. We went against the grain on that one.

Office365 is just so cheap for students (The e-mail is free if you just use that) that it makes total sense to pick that.
Red flags: ask if they have a standard operating procedure document or employee handbook. Basic stuff like where to go for healthcare, who to talk to about sick leave etc. This sort of logistical stuff is a weight on employee's to have to constantly be asking direct reports about. It's a bad sign when a company can't take the time to do a basic doc like this.
