That is quite the rant - starts off more or less reasonable and then:

Reddit feared that, so they removed me, but now with the disappearance of The_Donald (also censored and hounded into oblivion) Reddit has driven away normal people and is focusing exclusively on the fedora eckshuallies who work as Starbucks baristas, Whole Foods checkers, call center workers, and other jobs where obedience to social norms is really important and finding actual answers in the real-world is irrelevant.

This is not 100k people decamping to another site, this is one guy taking his ball and going home after a disagreement with the family that owns the playfield. Maybe a bunch of people will follow - but I predict someone will just start /r/NewDrones and forget about him.

I dislike reddit for many of the same reasons as this guy - in many ways it is a victim of its own success and any site with that many users has to wield a big moderation stick and lose some people along the way. But complaining about it is futile and misguided. If you want access to Reddits pool of users then play by their rules. If not, go elsewhere.

Yes, any ONLY them. Assuming they could even find an interested prosecutor/attorney which is rather unlikely.
Education vs. Learning: Here's the Difference and Why It Matters
If anything, I'd attribute the popularity of (client-side) Javascript to the iPhone for inspiring the industry to kill off Flash, and iOS has to be the most hostile (relatively) OS to advertising.

I'm curious how that gets evaluated, is it more of a ballpark estimate or is there a more formal process involving engineering teams providing time and effort estimates?
I don't blame Bitcoin for being volatile. I just don't see how its volatility is consistent with the claim that it represents an innovation in protection against inflation.
This is why when I need to proxy traffic I do it through an AWS instance in whatever region I need. Many services not only don't suspect AWS IPs as malicious, they might even have whitelists on their firewalls for AWS IPs.
Drunk drivers and human mistakes are two things I accept in traffic (or rather - laws and human behavior both show we don’t accept them). It’s factored into my risk.

And FSD isn’t orders of magnitude safer. They are barely as good as human drivers and only in some conditions.

For the worst situations they aren’t comparable at all (since they won’t drive at all)

This must be repeated over and over for some reason: people will never accept self driving cars that are just as good or bad as human drivers. Nor should we. It’s a much too low bar.

Self driving cars will need to be orders of magnitude safer than human drivers to be even remotely acceptable.

I wasn't claiming it was C-fast. I was replying to the parent comment on "humanly possible". Apologies if that wasn't clear.
There are thousands of engineers (at least) who use it or its equivalent every day. Just because they’ve built abstractions that allow you to ignore it, doesn’t mean nobody has to deal with it anymore.
I think lines such as "And i have created two, And those two have not been threw." from the Rejected Runs sound like the kind of mangled wordplay Tom Lehrer would have written.
But the web was also made of SQLi and reverse shells in 2005 as well.

That's another way to make "ReactOS" :)
I will be blunt, I really wish "salvage" cars had no right to exist. There is insufficient consistency between states as to what can be titled as such and still driven on our roads. You can get on the road most of the time just fixing cosmetic items and inspection in some states more concerned with emissions than much else; some states don't even check for working ABS or airbags.

I think companies like Tesla are correct in blocking access to their own charging network and I have no issue with another company blocking access to theirs. However I do not agree with the idea Tesla can block you from using another fast charging system.
I would also appreciate suggestions on how to regain my Facebook account, shut down without explanation last year. Despite its age (15 years) I barely used it, let alone for anything "controversial", but did regularly log into it. I repeatedly tried to verify my identity by submitting an image of my driver's license, without any response.

I don't want to create a fake new Facebook account. I want my own back.
Your examples all are for simpler chips, more microcontrollers rather than application processors (with the chip on the Teensy 4.x being the closest to the latter category, it's a bit of a hybrid). Those kind of boards also typically do not expose much that's specific to the capabilities of the chip, but rather mostly jut raw access to the IO pins + some helper circuitry. That's not to say you can't use those to develop things with the chips, but it's a somewhat different market.

Whereas from a classic development board it's typically expected that it provides access to as many capabilities of the chip as possible, and more complex chips have a staggering amount of those. E.g. taking the chip on the teensy, since it's the one that's the most high-end one from your examples: It has Ethernet support - add an Ethernet port. It has CAN support - add external CAN circuitry. It has USB - add USB ports. It supports low-level debugging through JTAG and SWD - add that, either a basic debugger or at least a space to connect an external one. It has a display interface - add a dedicated header for that, or maybe even just add a display. I think it supports eMMC flash - add space for that. That makes these boards a lot bigger and expensive, but it means a developer can start with whatever combination of things they want to try, and if the alternative is them spending a day on figuring out and hooking up all the external bits they need on a simpler board the higher price doesn't matter anymore. (Especially coming from the days were there wasn't as big an ecosystem of breakout boards for lots of things available).

The end result then looks more like something like this: https://www.embeddedartists.com/products/imx-rt1062-develope..., and appropriately costs a bunch more than the teensy Teensy.
I have been thinking about the reasons a society might employ base 60 for a while. There's currently lots of speculation which makes offhand reference to reasons people have used base 10 and 20: fingers and toes are natural to count with.

So with body part counting methods in mind the hypothesis arises that sexagesimal is the product of counting base 12 on one hand and base 5 on the other hand to achieve 5×12=60. (Base 12 being achieved by ternary on 4 fingers, so the entire system is more specifically 3×4×5, not just 5×12).

However, a casual glance at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_cuneiform_numerals
does not support the hypothetical 3×4×5 system, but without being a historian myself, I cannot say it altogether disproves the idea as, if I recall correctly, there are variations on these numerals. The depicted numerals have base 10 as a sub-base of 60. But most curious is the presence of rows of 3 as a sub-base of 10!

I have trouble imagining why 3 would be subdividing the decimal if it's not a remnant of counting dozenal on one hand. After all, the Romans decided base 5 to be most natural to embed in their numerals and their abacuses.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-quinary_coded_decimal

A moment of thinking about the Babylonian writing system perhaps answers the mystery: they pressed a stylus into clay, which is more painstaking and cumbersome than counting on the hands. When writing numbers, it may have been deemed less tiresome to max out the stylus presses at 9 ones instead of 11 ones and also less visually confusing to make the maximal ternary symbol a nice, symmetric 3×3 square. So there is the possibility that strict adherence to the counting system of the hands was not seen as ideal for the practicalities of writing with a stylus in clay. But why not just have a rich enough inventory of symbols to eliminate the problem of too many, cumbersome presses that are really like sophisticated tally marks* and not quite the same as the number symbols of today? That would mean either having another stylus with a different stamp or creating another gesture on a medium which isn't as accommodating to quick, dexterous movements as pen and paper.

*A 1 was made with something similar to a direct, downward press with the stylus and a 10 by turning the stylus sideways to press the end differently into the clay. (If I remember correctly) This is hardly different than common tallies of today which are "one-one-one-one-slash". If faced with writing base 60 with only two symbols, one or slash, the naturally embedded dozenal might make the tallies too messy. A 3×3 square is easy to read at a glance.

If no body part counting hypothesis can be made convincing enough to explain historical usage of base 60, I think someone should critically examine what was counted or measured, not just how.
You can characterize what you’re saying to simply: “just comply, citizen”

That attitude is precisely what’s wrong with this situation. An elite who’s prescribing technocrat-informed decisions instead of offering balanced and neutral scientific conclusions. Meanwhile you can point to a long line of completely wrong technocratic advice during the pandemic.

Always make sure you’re able to say “I might be completely wrong.”

I don't know my cars that well, but an alert driver will take at least 300ms to begin reacting. That's over 8m at 60mph (not sure why we're combining unit systems here). So I'll stand in front of the Model S in this particular scenario and hope to get away with 'mere' broken legs/pelvis. Give the human more time and is probably take the human, not because that's necessarily the more reliable option, but because its distribution of outcomes is more well known to me.
There is always an edge case to justify the loss of freedoms. In the fullness of time, it is revealed that case was just a pretext that doesn't really occur. But the genie is out of the bottle then.

The means is that TV/media play up edge case as if it was important. Once the justification is accepted, the freedom is taken and does NOT come back.

(Media, in case you haven't been paying attention is part of the governance system - driving what is acceptable to think about on a daily basis. No, propaganda is not to be found in China, Russia only - in fact the Western societies are far worse; we are propagandised from cradle to grave.)

Have any of the pre-9/11 freedoms we lost, come back? Travel restrictions, water bottles on planes, etc? They have not. So, an event occurs, this is played up to the n-th degree to justify the loss of control in our lives, and slowly slowly we tip-toe into overt control and domination by the system. In a way you can say that humanity's well-meaning nature - the wanting to do the right thing - leaves us open to these sorts of attacks - ie our good natures are weaponised against us.
Random Effects Key to Containing Epidemics
By "discrediting" it, the only thing you do is ensure that it'll make it another 24 hours in the media circus (and then there will be another claim that you have to refute or face claims that "but this time they didn't refute it!!!"). That game can be repeated ad nauseam, never leaving you off the hook and keeping the subject matter at the front of minds of everybody.

So maybe they never discredited it because they stopped jumping through every hoop that their opponents (Trump or otherwise) hold up for them?
> PHP, for most of its existence, has been a profoundly bad language per se

I mean, people often say the same thing about C, C++ and Java. But these are also massively popular languages, so obviously they're doing _something_ right and the people complaining must be looking at the wrong metrics.
I asked myself the same. My conclusion was "don't use Google Photos".

You say you can't replace it. Why is that? Maybe there are some alternatives that you don't know about?
We can debate whether or not javascript took off because of adtech, I will concede that.

But I think you'd be hard pressed to provide evidence that the web would be better without Javascript. Yes, people abuse javascript and make it do awful things, but think about all the good things Javascript enables.

On reddit, you can comment without reloading the page thanks to javascript.

There are ton of great games that are all in javascript.

Javascript is a tool, and I'd say it's a tool that makes things better overall.

Yes, usually the accent goes unmentioned in-story, but I liked how in "The Presidio" (1988) they actually explained why Sean Connery's character (a US Army officer) would have the accent by explaining that his family moved from Scotland to the US when he was a child.
It's not my rhetorical hyperbole. It's in the article title, which doesn't leave any room for the millions of tasks at which automation far exceeds human skill. That would have been "Apple learned automation can't always match human skill".
This is a good comment though I'll disagree with your last sentence. I don't think that the hard drive's genesis story is all that out of bounds for this article - the story is absolutely wacky and served as grounds for some highly qualified people to call this a disinformation campaign.

From there, Greenwald could have taken the other editor's suggestion and included coverage on how few media outlets have the hard drive and how they are using that to justify not covering the story.

At that point, you've got some interesting conclusions:

1.) The Biden family has never denied much of anything.

2.) Hunter Biden does not look very good and his future business dealings should face much more scrutiny, particularly if his father wins the election.

3.) If this is a Russian disinformation campaign, it's not a very good one (back to point #1).

4.) What does all of this say about the state of the media? 1 - 3 are a story yet all we hear are crickets. Is that because the career of journalism is so fucked up that it's hard to get good writers to cover a subject unless they can find an exclusive angle? Is this because the business model of journalism is such that if you can't guarantee millions and millions of page views, you can't justify allocating resources towards actual investigative journalism?? Or is this pure bias???

I have never been burned by the configuration language complexity. I'm constantly being burned by its limitation. You are right that for configuration TOML is OK. But the linked article talks about YAML in context of stuff like Ansible or K8s, where usually plain and simple imperative programming is coerced in YAML syntax.

> oppressive government which lost the support and confidence of it's people

The oppression was in order to control the economy and the support and confidence was lost because in part because of their inability to provide basic goods and services in a command economy.

Its not about the size of the effect but about the effect on specific information that is needed for capital allocation.

1) Working hours are regulated by law. Your employment contract should state the time you work. It might not be the case in the US, especially for tech workers who can be quite flexible, but it is real in other places/jobs.

2) You don't live in a vacuum. Most people can't change their time by themselves because they depend on the rest of the world.

Maybe you take a train/bus at 7 to get to work at 8. There might not be a train at 6.

Maybe you have to drop your kids at school. The school is not taking your kid one hour back or forth as you wish.

Maybe you work in a factory/office that's opening and closing at some point, you can't work outside of these hours. You depend on coworkers who do other tasks, you may not be able to work by yourself.

That's the reality for most workers, outside of developers.

If said things were written to express their arguments solely on merit and accuracy, that would be true. But understanding implicit bias and/or the reasons behind the framing of certain arguments from a source is necessary, in my opinion, because several, if not most, of the content we consume is crafted disingenuously. To judge the merit without understanding a dimension of it is just making an uninformed judgement.

That's the main issue which FP-for-parallel-execution proponents don't seem to get: Identifying independent (and therefore parallelisable) computations isn't the hard part, but planning the data layout and partitioning so that all your parallelism isn't eaten up by synchronization and data movement between cores.

Generally I agree with you and tend to avoid writing or calling functions that can panic. I make a slight exception in this case because it will "never" hit the error case; you are "always" calling the RPC through an interceptor that adds the necessary value to the context, so your MustGet functions will "always" work. I use "quotes" around never and always because ... sometimes someone edits the code to delete this invariant, and it is very easy to do that. But, it explodes loudly when it panics, so at least you can go in and fix the problem without much effort. (It would be really insidious to return an error and not check it -- some code three functions deep would then blow up with a nil pointer exception; or to return a subtly-not-working default value that cause subtle broken behavior that's hard to detect. Panics are preferred because the program crashes at the exact line of code that's broken.)

For any case where the error would depend on runtime input, rather than compile-time structure, you should return and check an error. If hitting the error case means "we need to edit the code and release a new version", panic is a fine tool to surface that problem.

All in all, I'd basically be happy either way. If you make your GetFoo function return an error that all the handlers check, I'd approve that PR. If you judiciously panic when something that can "never" happen happens, I'd approve that PR. The obvious preference is to update the codegen to pass those parameters in explicitly, so that if the interceptor structure changes, the program will simply not compile. But, the design of things like net/http and grpc kind of preclude easily doing that, and I'm not sure it's worth the effort to write something on top of those that fix the problem, when it's simple enough to do the unpacking manually and your integration tests test it for free anyway.
I like this idea, and I think the research has backed it for decades - I wrote a letter to my Senator, Hillary Clinton, in support of later school starts back in middle school that cited such work. I think it hasn't happened for two reasons:

1. School is childcare for a lot of people; secondary schools let out early so older siblings can take care of younger ones.

2. As COVID has shown - it's difficult to manage multiple hybrid schedules and cohorts in an equitable way, especially if you're not expanding the number of teachers (which most districts can't due to budget constraints)

This is a little US-centric, but I suspect it applies broadly to the rest of the West at least.
