A lot of this doesn't actually seem true though and the parts that resemble the truth only do so because they're so handwavingly broad.

>We could make a ton of progress if we started growing humans for lab testing.<

Maybe in some areas like wound treatment but certainly not overall. The point of using animals like mice and fish is also that they breed much faster than humans and certain parts of their biochemistry react the same as ours to certain compounds (use of fish in the development of psychiatric drugs comes to mind). Sure, eventually you need human testing, but that doesn't explain why we're not engaging in much more robust animal testing right now nor does it explain why such an expansion would be unethical.

>Once gene synthesis can be done in a garage, anyone could engineer anything they wanted (anthrax, ebola, whatever). Progress in biology is accelerating.<

None of this actually relates to discovering new things or otherwise advancing the field though, it just acknowlwdges that the ability to tread old ground has become more accessible and therefore weaponizable by terrorist groups (nations avoid biological weapons because of the collateral damage risks). We could already make and modify those scary things (and frequently do) in controlled labs.

>We've found other ways to get what we want from nature (shininess, gold color, conductivity, etc.) without using gold. The "living forever" argument also runs very quickly into philosophy (ship of Theseus) and away from biology<

But it doesn't! Biology has already been dealing with the ship of Theseus problem for decades and the conclusion has always been "Who cares, let the liberal arts majors squack about it". How many cells and mineral deposits do you think stay with you for the entirety of your life? How many of those cells do you think are brain cells? You don't need to be immortal to be uncertain if you're still you.

>I think it's much more interesting to consider the biological factories that we're building. Directed evolution, CRISPR, BIL Gates, gene drives, etc. We're making real headway into playing god.<

How is any of that more immediately interesting than evaluating where we could be improving research output in the present? We're already passed the point of ”should it exist” and well into "what's the least harmful way to discover if it exists". Whether any one country abstains from a topic doesn't matter in a globally connected world. If there's money on the table then refusing to play just means someone else gets more of the pot. At least if we're the first ones to discover something then we can set the pace of progress for as long as we're able to maintain the research lead.
A small team and I are working on this problem. We’ve recently announced a DNS-based protocol (1) to store structured data for domains, in time we hope to issue domain names for every telephone number (e.g. 44123456789.telephone). To claim a number you answer a call to that number.

It would enable us to store open data for phone numbers, making phone numbers something we can interrogate for IVR menu data before a call is made - helping navigate it automatically - it could also present caller ID when receiving a call. However, we’ve got _lots_ of work to do on this.

I had assumed the 1s and 0s referred to binary notation, and the file they were being ordered in was an executable of some sort, and the ordering was in the writing of the code that when compiled produced the 1s and 0s in the order wanted.

I would not suggest you file.sort() the file with 1s and 0s.

1. Sure, but JVM has a pretty state-of-the art GC tech developed for decades, so it is fair to draw comparisons to it. And it is still not even close to non-GCed languages, in particular when we also take memory use and pauses into account, not just throughput. Throughput, low latency, low memory use - there are inherent tradeoffs between them and usually you can pick only one to tune for.

2 - Not really. The fact they allow to allocate/deallocate manually is not enough. Dealing with non-GCed memory in Java or C# is much more error-prone and less ergonomic than even in C++. E.g. no automatic reference counting nor RAII.

3 - It is 5 years in development now and as far as the specs goes value types will be limited to immutable objects only, so it is inefficient by design and it solves only half of the problem. Similarly high hopes were associated with escape analysis which turned out to be totally ineffective.

Evolution of Cuphead Games 2012 – 2020
Am I the only one thinking that C++ is becoming a real mess of features, and that it makes it hard to read a foreign codebase that uses features you are not accustomed to, unless you have 5 years of experience as a full-time C++ dev?

I consider myself quite proficient at C. I wrote quite a bit of C++ from 2011 to 2014, while I was ramping up at programming. C++11 wasn't really a thing back then in my experience. The new features are really nice, but the syntax truly feels alien to me.

I am now looking forward to learning Rust, which seems more cohesive in general, and less of a bag of weirdly shaped features. Meanwhile, I'll probably keep on using C++ as "C with classes" when I have to. And I feel like codebases have to pick a subset of C++ they are comfortable with to be approachable to outsiders.
I don't mind help in finding these problems, what I LOATHE though is when people trust the tool more than me and (for example) prevent me from pushing something that disagrees with the tool. So somewhere I imagine some manager will force their devs to make this tool happy and that's wrong.

Ouch, that's a dealbreaker. I remember having to set up my own termcap/terminfo entries decades ago, when 1200 bps was fast and I had few viable choices for terminal emulators, and all of them had their quirks. Hard pass.

This was a part of my childhood too - mostly due to necessity of the fact that my Mom was a single Mom and if she wasn't at work, we didn't eat or have a roof over our heads. But I never felt like I was lacking for anything... I learned to manage my own boredom, find things to do that inspired me of my own doing. It forced me to forge my own destiny to a large extent.

I realize that this was largely left to chance and that not many kids are self motivated to do much and fall in with circles of friends that lead them down a bad path, but I guess I lucked out.
That's only true based on a certain level of care, which sadly is not always the case. Say you have a codebase that wasn't built well. Let's say your code scanner finds you at the very least the text "-----BEGIN R/DSA PRIVATE KEY-----*-----END R/DSA PRIVATE KEY-----". In my codebases that'll find nothing, but for many people, they just found SSH keys committed in plaintext. The same is true for any 1k/2k (++etc) string. It highlights what could be a private key and worth at least looking at.

Neither is proof of a vulnerability. Both I will gladly, always 100% validate.

Except, I live in rural UK (Lincolnshire) and the nearest town with a bank (Boston) is 7 miles along roads that do not have pavements. Where its dangerous to cycle and even more dangerous to walk.

It would be just about possible to live without the internet but getting to the shops would be dangerous without a car. There's little public transport with the nearest once a day bus accessible via a bus stop 1.5 miles along a dangerous to walk road.

So taken to its logical extreme - was China's "one child" policy, where having any more kids after the first one was heavily fined - was that fine a contraceptive? Or not? I'd argue that it was, because it prevents pregnancy, but not in the biological "stops the egg from being impregnated" sense.

All it would take is for Americans to be exposed to the facts of their victims. The magnitude of the crimes against humanity being committed by the US' War Coalition is SO HUGE that its no wonder that American media is falling over itself to suppress any reporting on the ground from these wars.

But, Americans, the rest of the world IS watching, and we DO know the facts - we aren't cowardly shielding our eyes from the 37 million war refugees created so that America has someone to drop bombs on. The burning piles of rubble are NOT going away just because American media is ignoring it at the behest of their intelligence community masters.

The leaks will continue, and the hubris that seizes any solution-making will be eroded.

Your distro may carry a terminfo package for kitty in its main repo.

You may want to add it to your default installations of the machines you ssh into, and for machines where you can't do that, there's 'kitty +kitten ssh' as others have already pointed out.

> Unless the bitmap font lines up with the pixels on the screen (...)

That's the basic tenet of bitmap fonts. You are not supposed to place them at sub-pixel positions, or to rescale them.

The visual effect of bad antialiasing is horrific, no matter the resolution of the screen. Even if your pixels are tiny, you readily notice if all the pixels are black and white only, or instead there are a few ugly "gray" pixels in between.

It doesn’t exclude them. Ignore the Wikipedia text, and look at the decoding table instead.
Just use bitmap fonts as they are intended to be used, without antialiasing. They are beautiful.
>The US picked a different optimization. The combination of transportation modes from Rail, Truck, and Barge are amazingly important to the health of the country. Passenger rail had a brief time of importance but was passed by plane and car travel.

The US could have “chosen” to do both (there’s no single policy decision or document to point to), as it had done in its railroad heyday, and as other countries do (e.g. Switzerland, China, Russia, etc.). It was and continues to be a failure of public policy and political system that passenger rail is so bad, and even freight rail is as underinvested in. That’s not a knock on the other forms of transport, all of which form a vital part of a larger interconnected, intermodal transportation network, but rail should be an important trunk of that system given its capacity and efficiency. Yet rail has had the least amount of public financial and policy support. By comparison, the US has invested trillions of taxpayer dollars in building and maintaining millions of miles of publicly owned roads (almost all non-tolled), airports and Air Traffic Control (ATC) system, and seaports, canals, dredged harbors and navigable inland waterways, Vessel Traffic Service (VTS).

>When the fully automated, electric car and buses arrive, I would imagine that passenger rail in the US will disappear entirely except for nostalgia operations and metro systems already in operation. It is much easier to be B2B or B2G than deal with individual customers for any of the railroads, and getting passengers off the rail will be a bonus for them. The nodal nature of rail will always be a handicap compared to roads.

We do need autonomous, electric buses and trucks, but fully automated, electric railway technology exists now and has for many decades, and well over century in the case of electrification.[1][2] Standards-based electric trains and related technology are available for purchase off the shelf from multiple vendors, do not need to carry large battery packs in the vehicle, and no pie in sky hope for future automation of an insanely hard problem. Electric railways are the most optimized form of land-based transportation, and arguably the most overall.

“The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.” - Bill Gates

> Why do code reviews fail at finding secrets in source code?

Hmm, what?

Unless the code is highly obfuscated to hide the secrets, in which case reviewers should be asking what that piece of code actually does and/or what those magic numbers are (and you should have a rule that all constants must be documented in the code), secrets like API keys are trivial to find during code reviews.
I can agree that justification to use nop loops somewhere along the lines of "core starts executing code when, judging by real-world testing, hardware peripherals do not guarantee stable state. Thorough testing suggests that 8ms+safety margin delay mitigates issues related to hardware readiness. 2500 cycle nop-loop guarantees required 10ms delay on fastest clock speeds and 50ms delay on slowest core speeds without causing observable issues. 50ms is hereby deemed acceptable." would acceptable in most commercial design documents.
You can apply a filter on top of a raw bitmap the same way programs like Cathode or Cool Retro Term do. This way you have CRT-like pseudopixels being rendered at the high resolution of native panel.

Thanks, that makes sense and I probably should have looked into the article properly.

VSCode, Slack, Intellij Idea, some random JS on a website - indeed all C++ programs. I'm not arguing against GC, but more about the philosophy of saying that only 2% programs need a good level of performance. It starts from using GC instead of thinking about object ownerships (which btw often also results in harder to read, more convoluted code) and ends up launching an embedded web-browser to display a few images and a bunch of text and taking 1 GB of RAM. But it is not developer's RAM, so who cares?

Summarising - using a GCed language instead of dropping a few occasional clone calls in the code is bad advice, unless the program is really a one-off fire and forget thing (but these are not 98% of software).
deinit, and if they’re from NotificationCenter you haven’t had to do that for a while and for KVO if you’re using the block syntax (you should!) you basically have an RAII “observation” that you control the lifetime of (often you assign it as a property of the object being observed, so it automatically gets cleaned up when the object goes out of scope).
Excellent photos, especially this one [1] of what appears to be posters against granting women the right to vote in the Swiss canton of Geneva. I had known that Switzerland had been pretty late in accepting women to vote, but seeing their "reasonings" from back in that time written down so clearly put things in a new perspective (if it matters I'm not Swiss, but I generally like Switzerland and I considered at some point the possibility of moving there for good).
