Having watched both, I believe the parent comment meant the talk they linked. The first 20 minutes has some talk about representation and type and meaning.

Both talks are interesting. Both are from a very C++ perspective, particularly the one you suggest. That doesn't make them wrong, by any means. Much of it generalizes, although depending on your background it might take varying amounts of effort to understand the generalizations.

In the first talk in particular, I think he conflates (in a small way) type with representation in a way that's... not... ideal? But I don't think it does a lot of harm to the talk; he has very interesting things to say particularly about representation.

Some of the point of both talks overlaps with the common admonishment to "make illegal states unrepresentable", but I don't think any fully implies the other.

For a very different perspective on types, I highly recommend watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U3lV5VPmOU, although I don't highly recommend actually programming this way.
This may not be a popular opinion, but I simply do not understand why you need the massive environmental and economic overhead of creating such "alternative meat" products if you want to avoid eating animals. Plants are eatable and tasty without processing them into fake meat first.

Someone missed a lesson from history. Might be me; might not.

In modern Germany, it's still illegal to explicitly disseminate means of propaganda of unconstitutional organizations. Is this wrong? I think I'll defer to the modern Germans on that question.

There's also difference of degree. Deplatforming Nazis (which is how parent post bastardized the quote initially) is not the same as incarcerating them. I was playing off the bastardization.

If you want to continue to defend platforming Nazis, be my guest, but I don't have to discuss it with you.
If you can deny the rise in inequality that is at this point obvious, the decimation and precarity of the lives of service workers and former manufacturing workers, the unhealthiness of what should be the most univerally gleaming and glittering society in the history of humanity, I don't know what to tell you.

Technically yes, there are trapdoors like RefCell. But these are intended to be used sparingly because they move all relevant borrow-checks to runtime.

There's some aspect of truth to it in some industries (though not cars, as you say). Kind of. So a washing machine that you buy now probably won't last as long as a washing machine that you bought in 1980 (though it will be cheaper to run). The catch is that the purchase price is, in real terms, _much_ lower. And you can actually buy washing machines that last a long time today, but most people simply aren't willing to spend thousands on one.

The modern machine costs a few hundred euro and if the drum goes, well, that's the end, buy another one. You can get one with a replaceable drum for maybe 1500 euro, but you're probably not going to, realistically.
The mental overhead spent checking if the order could be counterfeit or choosing a more reliable seller is exhausting.
Phenomenal talk! I'm still watching - so captivating.
So far the discussion was about the title text being replicated inside the HTML, presumably coming down in a single request. But, I would also not be surprised if redundant service calls occurred to fetch the data; especially when different teams are involved in maintaining a page coupling their designs adds a lot of burden that is probably more costly than just living with a little redundancy.
It's basically a statement of bayes' theorem: if you observe an event which is extremely unlikely based on your prior, you should probably expect that it was an issue with your observation or random chance, and your expectation should not change very much until you get more evidence.
It's surprising to what extent the technical factors are detrimental to the communication. Even if I assume that you are a smart person that has spent a lot of time on this, I want to question whether you have done a call with a good wired headset, on a good wired broadband internet connection, and using Zoom's "original audio" setting.

In person is better of course but a low latency, high quality connection goes a LONG way and it's rare enough that most people have never experienced it.
Personally I would completely switch to lab grown meat immediately as long as it seemed safe and was reasonably affordable. I'm not a fan of eating animals but it's already hard enough to have a healthy diet without artificially restricting things, right now it just doesn't make sense for me.
Yet, there are no such VLIW architectures to deploy.
This is a fun and often repeated quote, but bears little relation to the modern world. A nice pair of boots doesn't cost more than a months salary. They cost 2 days of labor at minimum wage and last for years.
The cartridges are actually kinda a funny story to themselves if memory serves. Nintendo required that they manufacturer the cartridges themselves (and they had minimum orders), which was separate from the licensing side of things. Then you had disk based game systems come along early 90s which were a couple of bucks to manufacturer (on avg). I remember reading about wild deltas depending on your company size & how much you shipped on what you could expect your take to be on a title, which also makes it hard to compare.

I like this. :) I am just amazed how many people fail to see the importance of this. It would _really_ pave the way of the future for humanity if it pans out. Pretty exciting stuff.
Excellent point. Most people who argue against overly processed plant-based alternatives speak as if the meat versions are all organic, cruelty free (lol), etc.

Most of the dairy and meats you eat are so full of hormones and other nasty bits that it makes beyond meat look like a piece of kale.
Also true to my experience.

Back two jobs ago, we had international customers with somewhat high demand to ship our people all across the world on, sometimes on a moment's notice. I had to fly out 4 or 5 times in the span of two years, but some of my colleagues could do more than that in under a year. Somehow, the flights were almost always the cheapest airline available, and the cheapest seats available. The co-workers who flew frequently, including my boss, were all using the accumulating miles to bump themselves a class up.
This reminds me of a trend I've seen in home appliances in recent years. Appliances that have "energy saving" features that save energy by not actually doing their job.

For example, we had a window air conditioning unit in our previous house that had an efficiency feature. Instead of recirculating the air, it would cool to the temperature you asked for, then set itself a few degrees higher. So it cooled down to the right temperature, and then just changed the temperature so it wouldn't remain as cool as you wanted. THat's not more efficient — that's just not doing its damn job.

Likewise, our dryer has settings that amount to "almost dry," "not actually dry," and "can't even tell you put it in the dryer." Who are these settings for? When I dry my clothes, I need them to be completely dry every time. I can't hang a shirt that's still damp in the closet or it will get all musty. WTF?
Despite the nice packaging, it appears to be a single-person maintained project. There are quite a few reasons why no opinionated PaaS built on Docker Swarm or Kubernetes (maybe surprisingly) came even close to being a popular choice in the market. Usually, anyone serious who's going to bet on a PaaS that runs their stack will also need a serious corporate entity (i.e. software vendor) supporting the tools in case things go wrong. Similarly, often many serious companies are better own building their own PaaS on top of these platforms as they realize sooner or later, they want a lot of customization and control over the platform. So far I'm adding this to the pile of people who’ve tried to build a PaaS on top of docker/k8s. I'm not seeing a lot of features to make it stand out, what I'm seeing in the features section is more of an opinionated stack.
Yeah, it's funny how people conveniently forget that and cry for the poor billionaire underdog.

Solutions? Just don't use the services? Check, I deleted facebook. Just talk to local people? I do, but it's hard. Especially now during COVID. Rely on encryption? Check, but still that does nothing to drive adoption directly. Still most apps require a phone number or email.

I'm very concerned about this issue, but also somewhat lost for clever ideas. Back in the day, small communities were healthier, but I don't know enough about them to know how to really help.

This is correct, and why I began by stating that this wasn't a normative statement. I wasn't passing judgement on whether or not they ought to continue precautionary measures, I was simply stating that I don't believe they will continue.
Indeed!

The only thing to pay attention to, really, is B12. We all need it and even meat eaters should probably take a supplement.
I agree, if we have to have ads for whatever reason, do it in an unobtrusive way that the user is asked about during setup. Now the ads in lg's smart home app are a different matter...
Well put. More than enough clean protein is easily achievable by adding chickpeas, lentils, beans (there are so many beans also soy/tofu) as well as certain greens like spinach and wholegrains, too.

However these plant based alternatives are getting pretty damn good for when you want some comfort food or a classic bbq.

> With some dishes, the chicken/beef/pork sometimes just doesn't add that much. Not in texture and not in taste.

If you experiment, you might find you actually miss the texture if you swap it with a different texture (like a burger with a bread-like texture probably isn't going to be great even if it had the same taste). So sometimes the plant-based alternative is really trying to replicate a texture that's pleasing for that dish (like something that tears, or is gooey, or spongey), or maybe something that absorbs the sauce a certain way etc.

It's common to hear people say "why do vegans give up meat but want to eat meat?" - sometimes it's just about finding a replacement that has some properties that are similar, like the texture.

> "the internet has only strengthened those bubbles"

This is, quite literally, what the original poster was saying though. Nobody is arguing that bubbles never existed (again let's please avoid the extremes) but that they were much more permeable before.

Of course you don't interact with those you can't reach. Some barriers, physical or otherwise, will always exist. However people who did reach each other would interact much more freely because you didn't have any other way to know more about them in the first place. Now your social reputation precedes you, even if it's not created by you but rather an amalgamation of data points constructing some skewed halo, and it's used to stop interaction before it can ever start.

That's the fundamental issue raised in this thread. Do you not agree with this premise?
fish-shell dev here. Sounds like you have been using it longer than me!

We'd love to do a curses version of fish_config. I think you're right the default colors could be warmer and still work on light backgrounds (terminals don't publish their colors so the defaults have to work on light and dark).

But if I recall the episode correctly (and it's possible I don't since I probably saw it when it originally aired ~20 years ago), he was looking for a regular toilet and couldn't buy one because of local regulations.
It’s because people today are adult-children who need kid gloves to be convinced that killing animals for food is bad. So we trick them by showing an beyond meat and hoping one day they stop eating meat.
Wow! I nominate this as the must read article for all SaaS companies.
Some environments are actually quiet, and even silent if you sample from a boom microphone that will pick up barely any ambient sounds. Not everyone is an idiot. Forcing people to use headsets is, in my experience, more bulletproof than forcing people to mute. Our company is considering making it a policy (just like "turn on your cameras").

The response to this is usually, "Well, then people should be retrained." It's kind of an elitist, SV bubble trope at this point.

There are millions of people who simply cannot be retrained.

Yes, pick-and-pack is mind-numbingly boring for many people. But for others, it's good. Or even challenging.

I've worked on an assembly line three times in my life. I found it tedious and pointless, and to keep my mind busy, I mostly just focused on what I was going to do after work. But there were people there for whom the work was a perfect fit.

Not everyone has the intellectual capacity of a SV keyboard jockey. Not everyone has average motor skills. These people still need jobs. Still need to earn money. Still have the right to participate in society.

The solution is not to just throw UBI money at them and warehouse them in apartments like cattle. The solution is to automate an appropriate amount of factory jobs, but also keep an appropriate amount of low-skill jobs so that these people can be part of society.

Once yes. Most of the prior people were still with the company. They had design document, file comments, function comments, and a few (very few) inline comments. All code development was done under contract, where the documentation and code reviews were deliverables.

Twice no. One was a massive in-house project that had evolved over the years. There was a former developer, but he was not very good, and only wanted to add more bells and whistles. He got frustrated with my efforts to document the code and left. It was used to help test other code, but was the most horrid thing.

Second was 5 years ago, person left, and left literally no documentation. We had a weeks overlap, and he demonstrated the code, but in the thousands of lines of code there were a handful of comments that just had the date and his initials.

For me I need to be able to understand what the intent was of the code. Then I can either debug the indent (i.e. bad logical thinking), or implementation (not coded to do what you want).
What's the development experience scene like for Rust GUIs? In my experience developing Electron apps there are a a couple major plusses that I'm not sure Rust can compete with, based only on my limited knowledge of the ecosystem:

- Excellent embedded developer tools. Hundreds of thousands of engineer-hours have gone into the chromium devtools, providing everything from styling overrides to layout metrics to profiling tools to a REPL to DOM tree inspection and modification, to an integrated debugger, etc etc etc, and all of that is at your disposal with a simple Cmd+Opt+I. To my knowledge Rust doesn't have anything like this.

- Super quick incremental updates. Making a change and seeing the impact is sub-second, even on large projects (vscode). Based on my understanding of rust, recompilation can take a very very long time. When making GUI's a lot of the time is spent making finicky little changes and reloading -- if that inner loop is slow you're going to have a bad time.
Most of these new products that you see advertised are not aimed at Vegetarians or Vegans, but are actually aimed at meat eaters. Tesco has a range of meat products (such as burgers and mince) that are actually a mixture of real meat and plant based meat.

A lot of people know that meat has a high environmental footprint, and people are becoming aware of how poorly animals can be treated by factory farming.

Those people are looking to reduce their meat consumption, and these products are a crutch to allow that to happen.
There seems to be some disbelief that it needs to be repeated so many times. I agree though, this seems totally within expectations and I am kind of surprised to see this on HN frontpage. It’d be more interesting if the post did the basic legwork of analyzing each usage, but it does not seem to...

It can certainly be done at least as fast and much more legibly. Probably not in 2008 - which predates even ES5 by a year! - but these days, most certainly.
In the conversation that led to me originally going vegetarian, I made this argument. Sometimes I wonder if I care more about animals, or just relying on sound logic in arguments.
I'm not sure I understand your argument or your views, as there is only the assertion about Apple ("Apple is more powerful...") provided without any of your own views explaining how that assertion has any bearing on this matter. If you can offer any further explanation of how to connect your comment with the case under discussion, I'd love to consider it in more detail. Anyways, proceeding with the best I can offer —

Do you believe that a US judge can issue a summary judgment against a defendant based solely on fairness, when based solely on case law they are not guilty of any crime? (Apple is the defendant, and US law is biased in favor of defendants in various respects.) I believe that such a finding, whether by a judge or a jury, usually results in the judgment being overturned by the appellate court.

In the context of the Seven Sisters example, then, the simple-test question for finding a judicial bridge for the connection between the Seven Sisters and Apple is below. I use "without basis in law" as a superset of "unfair but not unlawful". I would hazard a guess that the answer to this question is "No." but I haven't researched it further.

"In cases where the US member(s) of the Seven Sisters were defendants, did a judge or jury ever find against them without basis in law, and in such cases, were any of those judgments allowed to stand by the appellate court?"
yes. if you have money you invest and get richer. poor might not get poorer, but for them it is problematic to save any significant amount. One example: buying a house vs renting it. (where I live amount for rent is approx the same as interest amount for mortgage). one who bought a house has a cushion (house is an asset) for retirement, one who always rented has to continue to rent.
