There are secular "Sunday services," at least in my area. They're actually kind of cool.

Community does not require religion. But community does require two things that are intrinsic to religion: ritual, and shared experiences.
To me, the quote and what you put after came as a big surprise - I was ready to nod in agreement as you recognize this as a sad story about the platform.

The last time I was working on a text editor (KDE's Kate) and found a bug in the text layout engine it was written against (Qt's), I wrote a patch, submitted it upstream and it made everyone else's apps better, too.

I can't imagine the world of hurt, discomfort and frustration of developing against a lib set I can't read source code of or improve.
The 10% estimate is likely too low. Looking around my social circle, I see:

* A grad student neuroscientist (which actually means "Matlab programmer")

* A statistician (which actually means "R programmer")

* Various other kinds of scientists and mathematicians, whose day-to-day work is actually programming

* A rabbi (who is applying to programming boot camps)

* A number of unemployed people, trying to learn to program in various ways (from self-study to degree programs to bootcamps)

Most of these would not be counted, but if I talked to them at a dinner party, I would count them as programmers.
Surprised I didn't hear about her sooner.

> A bunch of fairly Republican districts and a few heavily Democratic districts

Something I just realized is that it will always be that way!

Democrats do better in cities (in general heavily democratic), while Republicans do better in rural areas (typicaly Republican, but not in a dense way like a city would be).

So if you divide districts naturally by geography they will always appear gerrymandered in Republicans favor.

Are you saying that the meatbag in a "self-driving car" is equivalent to a backseat driver?

Because if you are, then "self-driving cars" will never be viable because the humans inside don't actually trust them.

HHKB has worked well for me, it moves the arrow keys closer to your right hand in a much better location than most 60% boards default.

You can easily use your right pinky to hit Fn and then use the arrow keys that are right under your fingers (I think it's actually better than normal keyboard arrow key placement).

I don't think I could go below a 60% board because having the number row is too useful and dealing with function layers for that (and memorizing symbol placement) seems like an unnecessary pain for style.

It might be that I live on the other side of the world to the author but this hasn't really been a problem for me. I've been a developer for 10 years or so and find that in Brazilian jiu jitsu there's a pretty even split between university/not-university educated people resulting in a social circle that is pretty diverse, at least from a formal education point of view. In my case the city is somewhat expensive to live in so most of the people that can afford hobbies in this area will earn a similar income and have similar schedules. The article also felt like there was a weird bit of class focus and as other commenters have said the author needs to expand their thoughts on what sports are available and the lives other "non-tech" people live.
Can we please stop posting dozens of clones of this exact same comment from people who haven't actually used iOS 14?

Even if it wasn't simply low-effort and repetitive, I haven't seen a single instance of a person who's used the beta corroborate this pessimism. Quite the opposite: every single one of these comments has replies by users of the beta that haven't noticed significant problems and generally seem to believe it's a solid update.

There's a built-in gcode generator for 3-axis milling. I've never used it, since I don't have a mill or router.

> This is because declaring the variable x means it must have some associated storage

I've not read the C spec, so I may be terribly wrong here, but I'm inclined to disagree: x is not accessible outside of a() and cannot be read or modified by another part of the program, and so a compiler would be perfectly justified in not bothering to allocate storage for it.

> To permit this basic optimization, you need to have to some sort of rule that allows you to reason that a value whose address is never taken can never be legally accessed by a pointer.

Essentially, I'm contending that not only is the address of x never taken, it never can be taken, and therefore the optimization is safe.

(In practice, if x did happen to have stack space allocated for it and you knew what location it ought to have relative to the stack pointer, you could modify x. But insofar as I'm aware, C does not guarantee many things about the layout of memory or a particular calling convention anyway, and so you shouldn't rely on this. And that isn't changed by one's model of pointers.)

Is this true? After reading your comment I looked up what adiabatic quantum computation is and found this [0]:

> We give an example of an adiabatic quantum algorithm for searching that matches the optimal quadratic speedup obtained by Grover’s search algorithm. This example demonstrates that the ‘quantum local search’, which is implicit in the adiabatic evolution, is truly non-classical in nature from a computational viewpoint.

To be honest I love "mech keyboards" not really because of the mechanical keys, but because people make them in so many customized sizes and colors. But there's not really a good term for this as far as I'm aware.
Yes, but for most optimizations (including jcranmer's example), just "aliasing rule" is sufficient, not C's "strict aliasing rule". The gist is that pointers shouldn't be able to do out-of-bound accesses. The additional restriction that pointers should be well typed is mostly unnecessary, both in C and in Rust.

Note that pointers-are-integers directly imply no restrictions whatsoever on out-of-bound accesses.
Tableplus has a similar model
I think those are all valid interpretations that give some useful information about the product.

I tend to think of the words as staking a position vs its opposite, so you at least have some idea where the product lies on at least one axis.

- minimal vs maximal: "we favor fewer few design elements vs more"

- streamlined vs not streamlined: "we have intentially chosen to focus on a few specific goals"

- sleek vs rough: "we are aiming for a polished appearance"

- simple vs complex: "we prioritize ease of use over supporting lots of use cases"

- opinionated vs configurable: "we have a philosophy of the right way to do this, which this tool supports out of the box; if you have a very specific use case, it might not be for you"

etc..

On the other hand, the opposite of modern is... old fashioned? Isn't almost everything basically modern, then? And how is that necessarily any better?

> I've already shown you how millennials benefit from Obamacare.

Actually you didn't. Pointing out a single feature that benefits them while ignoring all the others is not a cost benefit analysis.

> Your note about young people subsidizing over-60s is a red herring.

And this a straw man. Actually, no - its wrong.

I worked on Obamacare for 2 years. I think it's a decent law a vacuum. I can't possible pretend its good for young people. It's good for my 60 year old aunt who has diabetes who thinks she pays too much for insurance but actually is getting the deal of a century considering how much health care costs.

Obamacare did little to slow health care spending (another long story) but it did work to spread the costs around - mostly to young people.
Then multiply both by the potential harm of each vehicle and we can fully quantify which are the more dangerous.
Monoculture basically just means upper middle class men in tech coupled with the argument of implicit negation that less diverse == bad. This self flagellation from the PMC and tech is just really... I don't know what to make of it, but I would say is harmful. If you really want to break out of your professional cohort, pick up a hobby which requires other people like sports/music/civic activities/religion/car meets/quilting/neighborhood gardening/whatever. You'll find most of those folk tend to be somewhat like minded as well, but how we spend our free time basically boils down "doing what I enjoy doing around others that respect me on some level". You do you, and let's not get too caught up with having the correct friends.

With Android, it's not so much that Google does it out of choice but because they have no control of most of the phones and there were (still are?) huge numbers of phones which don't even have access to OS updates or get them very late. Google was forced to pull a lot of functionality out of the OS level to be able to keep people up to date.
> Atom is slow, VS Code is appreciably worse

Honestly this isn't possible. VSC had better perf than Atom 4 years ago[1]. I say this as a long-time Sublime user, which is best-in-class[2] when it comes to perf.

> I've loved being able to hack it to look and feel exactly as I want

What is not customizable in VSC? When I first started using VSC, I installed an extension that made all my keybindings exactly as they were in Sublime, then I installed extensions to make it look almost exactly as my Sublime setup had looked (just took installing a UI theme and a color scheme).

If you want buttery smooth, Sublime is where to go. Native doesn't compete with Sublime's low-level text rendering.

But seriously there must be something wrong with your setup if VSC is lacking in perf and Atom wasn't.

> Can any English speaker remember the name of the interpreter of their favourite audiobook?

I can, but that's probably because I partially rely on audiobooks (in addition to eBooks with text-to-speech) because of blindness.

> There were once radio plays, but with the demise of radio, audio plays barely exist nowadays in English

Agreed that unfortunately, the amount of radio plays being produced has dramatically decreased (excuse the pun). But I mostly notice this in English speaking nations other than the United Kingdom like Canada and the US. In the UK, radio drama is still very much alive, with the BBC and third parties like Big Finish producing a ton of great content.

I am very skittish around iOS ecosystem, and am responsible for keeping a 6+ year old iOS app running. It's not a very complicated app and it uses almost no permissions or services aside from camera & GPS, but we got burned a few times with breaking iOS changes over the years. I think we started w/ iOS 8. That said, I haven't seen a breaking change since 11, and I just got done with some initial test scenarios on 14 without concerns.

I just told my team to go ahead and update to 14 because at the least our app will open and run through some basic scenarios without any issues. Now I just need everyone to exercise all the code paths over the next week to be sure.

To be very clear, our app is not on the public store and is distributed using the enterprise program. This allows us some freedom as the Apple devices running our app are exclusively for the app and we have some leeway in telling our customers to hold off on the latest iOS if we need to. They have MDM and policy which allows for this level of control.

If we had this app on the public store, I would be in a state of total panic right now.
Maybe don't rule sports out entirely. I accidentally joined a hockey team full of lawyers in Oakland. I guess similar people tend to clump even outside of the tech bubble; it's easiest to recruit people in your network. They would get their summer interns to fill in if we were short players.

I also know several teachers who rock climb though of course there are plenty of techies too.
>” In fact, just the fact that I’m interested in doing sports for leisure is associated with class, since it’s not something that would be so easy for, say, manual laborers or shift workers.”

Labors to play sports?

I think the author should visit the developing world more frequently to realize how common futbol is here, for example.

I’ve been invited to pickup futbol (soccer) games in Mexico and Panama. From what I can tell, it’s a sport played around the world, including in the poorest parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

This is all too frequent—- a politically biased author is unable to face their own biases and instead attempts to enforce them?

Yes, there are socioeconomic differences between world regions. But that doesn’t preclude people from enjoying sports.

Not everything is a consequence of neomarxist political thought. Perhaps explore the world, before making biased presuppositions, author.
Let's all move to serverless!
I don't want to use Google and onedrive doesn't work seamlessly on Linux and Android.
Yeah, there's definitely a cultural aspect. People WANT to get out of the house ASAP. It's not like all of those American 18 year olds are bummed that their parents expect them to go someplace, it's that many/most of them are chomping at the bit to have their own place and their own life with day-to-day financial and social independence from their family. If they're more likely to be staying home now, it's a sign of financial trouble because presumably most of them would love to go someplace else but can't.

To the degree that there's a stigma associated with adults living with their parents in the US, the stigma comes more from being the sort of person who would want to live with their parents when they could afford to be on their own. That's the stigma. It's not a stigma about poverty, it's a stigma about someone who would want a more sheltered and less independent life, and a stigma about someone who wouldn't get seriously annoyed at having their family around 24/7. Those are both pretty alien concepts to a lot of people in the US. There's also the rule of thumb that the #1 way to keep a family together and loving each other and constructively involved in each other's lives is to not see each other every day. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and all that.

But like you said, this is independent of it being good or bad or right or wrong, it's really just cultural context, but that's the cultural context.
