Most languages designed to be used by people are not good targets for people creating new languages.
Very different set of concerns.

The main ones I am aware of are:

JavaScript: you basically got to if you want to run in a browser.

And C
Because it's available on every piece of hardware, it was there before llvm and it doesn't change across hardware (unlike assembly), and most people writing languages know C.

JVM, the .Net CLR etc are not languages. They are intermidate representations like LLVM is. (Approximately).
They were designed to be compilation targets.
Julia wasn't.

Most of Julia's intersting compiler features are unusual because they need to solve problems Julia has in general other languages wouldn't,or that would not transfer across language boundaries.

The macro stuff is awesome for DSLs.
Messing with compiler passed is cool for adding capacities.
But I think much more in the sense of implementing a micro language that is closely related to Julia, rather than a full on language that has its own goals and identity
(I want to write one for codegolf called Jules that is just Julia except on an error it tries some other lexically nearby code)
You'd think you're joking, but the founders of the Soviet space program started their work in NKVD research prisons, convicted not even for resisting.

Basically, just wanted to say there are _lots_ of other people who feel the same way.
When you are sold a game that does not work and not refund, there is fraud. (I.e. Cyberpunk PS4) Or how there are only only games that have a really poor effort to make a non-online portion. (Those are dependent upon the PSN subscription).

The only time Sony gives money back is when their reputation is majorly hurt. Amazon from my experience doesn't tend to let it get this far. (Although they are terrible in their own right)
I'd like to see a source on that "over half" - it seems like it's very dependant on who you're talking to. I've only met one of my extended friends group who's been against the lockdowns.
Sure but Amazon (and all others) are not really US persons under the covers.

"In the United States, Amazon has been accused of transferring U.S. funds to the same shell company in Luxembourg, to avoid paying $234 million in U.S. taxes for 2005 and 2006. "

Just want to chime in and say your dedicated space doesn’t need to be a room!

I’ve gone the entire pandemic in a 450sq ft studio with my wife and our pets. My trick was to put my desk between a window and a wall and get an $80 room divider. Anytime the room divider was closed it meant one of two things: “Please don’t distract me, I’m busy”. Or “I’m not sitting back at my desk to work until tomorrow”

I love working — prior to my wife moving in, all I wanted to do was code and tinker with different ideas. But I know that isn’t sustainable for many reasons. Having a blocked off space, as tiny as it may be, to “get in the zone” or literally separate me from work has worked wonders for my mental health during the pandemic.

* I used some past tense here because we finally just upgraded to a 1 bedroom after 2 years :)
Wouldn’t be much of a Royal charter if the BBC became an Office of the Government.

If you are an agency which wishes to retain some modicum of control over your own destiny, then you most likely wish to retain some modicum of control over your sources of revenue.
The city also has no even remotely sane urban planning, resulting in the worst sprawl I've seen anywhere in the USA in the last 10 years.

Austin isn't entirely alone with this: most of the sunbelt cities that are growing are doing so in the context of a complete lack of long term city planning. But Austin, IMO, is the worst right now. Even Phoenix, with an even more insane lack of water than Austin, has managed this side of things better.
Use it or lose it in my opinion. The bands are underutilized and the barrier of entry, regardless of what most people think, is too high. Joe Shmoe should be able to watch an hour long video and then get a call sign the same day after passing an exam. Why a tech needs to understand antenna theory, space transmissions, and ionosphere reflection is beyond me. Cool, sure. Essential, c’mon.
They're already doing it by pushing digital only consoles. Which I'm not buying. There is no evidence that they intend on protecting the interest of the customer.
This is thinks is not the way to look at it.

The reason people are hard-up is not because of the lack of labour, but because of the distribution of surpluses.

There was never a need for child labour anywhere.

It might have been 'needed' in a family because the greater context was screwed up - and so we don't necessarily judge the family, but we will judge the system.

Also - kids cleaning up at the family resto or helping out at the family farm is fine, so long as it's not hardship etc. that's obviously not a big deal. But in Apple Factories, no.

Also, the amount of questionable ethics by anyone doing this stuff overseas, and then to take the high road on Parler, seriously? I've always felt they were very hypocritical about this, they should stay mostly out of the 'justice' campaigning other than in their own direct sphere.
> their editor can just cut and paste to Word if he really wants to make corrections

Is it sarcasm? I mean... make corrections/changes is what an editor does.
And console game prices already reflect this, it is priced in by design. Everyone in this business collectively chose this model together.
It's quite odd that that phrasing allows for lawful violence and intimidation.
I'm not convinced Victoria did anything special to beat the virus, aka I'm not convinced lock downs actually work.

It could of just been;

- seasonality

- Victorians already had antibodies from other strains from years prior

- our population may have not be as old as other places

- we could just be a healthier society in general

- we don't have subways

etc

But that is a rabbit hole discussion I won't have the time to go into;

I think any information about Covid is just noise at this point, everyone (including me) just comes up with some shallow statements about what is going on with just a few data points.

Every region of the world reports numbers on everything differently;

- What test kits do you use, and what are their +/- rates

- How do you report somebody died? (assumed covid, had covid, died from covid)

- When does an active case become inactive?

- How long do you think it incubates for?

etc

There is probably another 100+ important questions to ask.

And then ask all those questions to different states/countries and all the answers are different.

Yet we compare countries all the time.

HIV/AIDS had a similar problem, you could have AID's in America, fly to Australia and we would of reported you as maybe not having AID's.

"Even AIDS itself has a different definition depending on where you’re standing. In the U.S., AIDS is someone whose little virus-fighters, their CD4 cells, are below 200 per cubic mm of blood (normal is 500-1,500) or who is already showing symptoms. The WHO definition is anyone with a CD4 count below 350. In most European countries, you need to have an AIDS-related infection to be diagnosed with AIDS."

https://newrepublic.com/article/117789/aids-data-country-why...

Pretty good article, more or less my stance on Covid at the moment.

So when we say the US had 400k deaths and Australia had 3k, I am extremely sceptical that we are reporting things in the same way at all.

Pretty sure posts get frozen automatically once they're old. I would second geoah's suggestion to contact the staff using the contact email at the footer of this site. Ask if there's any way they could help you under the circumstances.
Hahahahaha what? This reads like some kind of copypasta. Do you have any evidence of increased levels of corruption in HR over other departments?
Our company has a daily meeting for the team. On paper, it's to talk about what we did yesterday and what we're doing today. And we do that. But we're allowed to take as much time beyond that as we like to socialize. We talk about tv, movies, games, sports, whatever.

Without this, I think I would be a lot worse off in this crisis, and I'm a pretty extreme introvert.

If I was in your situation and had to actually bug people to talk to them... Ugh. No way.

Have you asked others if they want to be on an 8 hr/day video call with you? Perhaps there are others that would prefer that, or would do it to help you.

I personally would not enjoy that, but if someone on my team needed it... I'd at least try to deal with it.

Alternatively, maybe you can find a few of them to do it for 2 hrs/day and take the edge off.
I will say that these events have given me some respect for the right wing media. They at least were willing to call these riots and condemm them, which is more than I can say about the reaction to blm. From the left media.
It's a skill and an art like anything else. I had to teach it before I was really well versed in it myself. I was skeptical , but now swear by it.

Not like religiously... my pair for today wanted to break early to develop a deeper understanding of the code on his own, so we split up, but I do have to say I came into today pretty low, and left our session pretty high, and look forward to see what his results were and how he wants to go about refactoring tomorrow.

As your stereotypical autistic basement dwelling programmer type, who studied talking to humans like any other field of study, I have to say it really is just that, and it's also worth the effort. IMO.
> I really do think we have to be mindful of judging other cultures against our rich western values.

The ones being judged here are Apple and other corporations exploiting children for profit. Not at all comparable to children helping out on a family farm / small business.
IANAL but I believe that the AGPL would address the case where AGPL code was used in a user facing setting. If the code was used only internally I believe that it is no different from the GPL in this respect.
I'm honestly somewhat surprised with the results of this (clearly iFixit was too!)- I didn't expect any replaceable parts beyond the ear cups, but if you get the right screw set it looks like you can replace a good chunk of the components that are likely to fail. Getting a good replacement part, however, might be tricky with such a niche product.

The user-replaceable headband is also an interesting design consideration- you'd think Apple would lead with that by allowing users to mix-and-match the headband and cups (white and black seem like they'd be a nice mix).

$550 is still far too much for them though.
I think we're talking about things different ways around. I'm talking about doing something like what's in the link: an alternative syntax for Julia that mirrors Clojure but retains Julia's features.

You would be harder-pressed to create an alternative parenthesis syntax for C, because C is so syntactically complex.

Covid19 is pretty much a product of no free speech, they claimed it to be "misinformation" at first about human to human, no doctors were allowed to talk about it, what else evidence do you need? Like don't trust the wearing facial mask is not only helpful for others but also yourself "misinformation"? So you see, the problem is, who decide what's "misinformation"? And what if they are wrong, like they did so many times, but in a time no other voice is allowed? Think about it
Err, I am not a fan of this. The identity requirements imply that that services will at the very least request enough information to identify that you are a US citizen.

It also seems to make IP logging a requirement: "Internet Protocol addresses used for access or administration and the date and time of each such access or administrative action, related to ongoing verification of such foreign person’s ownership of such an Account"
It depends on your priorities. The rules in Sydney, which they have had for a year and will likely have for all of 2021 (no more than 5 visitors, no gatherings >30 people in public) are much more restrictive than any other state in Australia. I much prefer a short and hard lockdown with closed borders to states who refuse to attempt elimination and being able to live a normal life as a result.

The Victorian 2nd wave was undeniably a management screw up, and when restrictions were announced I was dubious that it’d even work (thought the cat was out of the bag) but the fact that their modelling forecasts were accurate (to the day!) months out shows they knew what they were doing and for me it seemed worthwhile.
It probably is going to be very slow, all in Chinese, welcome code written in Chinese characters and commented in Chinese (English is not my native language yet I believe code should always be written and commented in English).

I would argue that ISA does matter. Beyond the decode width issue, x86 has some material warts compared to ARM64:

The x86 atomic operations are fundamentally expensive. ARM’s new LSE extensions are more flexible and can be faster. I don’t know how much this matters in practice, but there are certainly workloads for which it’s a big deal.

x86 cannot context-switch or handle interrupts efficiently. ARM64 can. This completely rules x86 out for some workloads.

ARM64 has TrustZone. x86 has SMM. One can debate the merits of TrustZone. SMM has no merits.

Finally, x86 is more than an ISA - it’s an ecosystem, and the x86 ecosystem is full of legacy baggage. If you want an Intel x86 solution, you basically have to also use Intel’s chipset, Intel’s firmware blobs, Intel’s SMM ecosystem, all of the platform garbage built around SMM, Intel’s legacy-on-top-of-legacy poorly secured SPI flash boot system, etc. This is tolerable if you are building a regular computer and can live with slow boot and with SMM. But for more embedded uses, it’s pretty bad. ARM64 has much less baggage. (Yes, Intel can fix this, but I don’t expect them to.)

You don’t think attacking the elected head of state is related to a transfer of power? At least 11 Secret Service agents had to be hospitalized after they defended the WH and President from angry rioters...how on earth is that materially different from January 6? Suppose they had succeeded in breaking through the line?

What exactly is so sacrosanct about elections that disputing them is an insurrection, but not storming Senate chambers to stop a Supreme Court confirmation, trying to storm the WH, or literally declaring an autonomous zone not subject to the US government?

It’s hard for me to understand how this is not simply nit picking some insubstantial detail and using it to put the things we like on one side and the things we don’t like on another. Never mind that the election nor the integrity thereof were ever remotely threatened by these riots.

wtf.
So what was the goal of storming the Capitol? You keep saying it wasn't terrorism, so what was the purpose?

It seems pretty obvious to me the purpose was to intimidate elected officials in some misguided attempt to prevent them from completing their constitutional duties. That is literally terrorism.

Explain? I have not seen any conspiracy theories on the left that are remotely close to the Qanon/plandemic/stop-the-steal clusterfuck of recent years.
There are two really simple reasons. One is that any such collusion would itself be a breach of anti-trust. The other is that they can't. Facebook has its own servers in its own data centers, its own fiber lines, etc. They could remove the apps from the iOS and Android app stores, but that wouldn't affect the billions who already have the app or get it preinstalled by carriers. And that's all beside the question of whether Facebook deserves such special treatment, either compared to the others or at all.
I feel lucky that I haven’t been crammed into a small apartment with roommates or whatever. It’s so much easier to have a routine without having to bump into a bunch of other people. I don’t know if I could have survived without my outdoor spaces though... there’s nothing like being able to sit outside and work on my laptop for long hours. Really sorry for everyone else who has been locked indoors. Two months would have been rough, but this is beyond intolerable. At least we will always have the upper hand whenever our grandchildren complain about being bored or cooped up: “Let me tell you something about being stuck inside!”
Raspberry Pi 4 has up to 8GB of RAM and a 1.5GHz CPU, but your point still stands. Even with those specs it won't provide a fully smooth desktop experience.

I don't know, I personally do feel empathy.

If Company A makes a product people are willing to pay for; and company B makes multiple sales/profit off of it, it does trigger some kind of empathy/moral/something spidey-sense in me.

We are not talking about piracy where we use argument "that 12 years old wouldn't have paid for your game anyway". These customers DID pay for the game! Just not to the developer; that money did not support development of new fun content.

Not to say I disagree with the notion of digital platform stripping away ownership; but I think that specific wrong doesn't make the other situation right :-/

They don't operate a storefront (in the digital sense). Retail copies of games contain codes for one of the above store in lieu of physical media. You're buying a code from GameStop, with the code delivered digitally -- and sometimes this is cheaper than buying it directly.
Hello fellow sand groper! I watched from afar (UK) as the panic buying set in around the same time. Amazing to see the difference in handling of the cases between where the two island nations...
I don't understand this take. I went the same Melbourne lockdown and am extremely grateful for how the government handled it. I have colleagues in the US and, while they're not under strict and enforced lockdown, they've had to effectively self lockdown since the start of the pandemic. They also have 400,000 deaths and no real end in sight for when some normality might resume.

I'm happy with the measures taken, even if they were a bit draconian, because now I can, without needing to worry too much, do normal things like going to visit friends/family and going out to restaurants/cafes. It sucked to have a curfew and only be able to get out of the house for 1 hour per day, sure, but it would suck much more if we were in a perpetual limbo state with only the promise of a vaccine to hope for.
If only there'd been a good guy with a gun there to stop the gun being stolen!!
I too have recently departed the Firefox evangelism train after a great many years promoting the browser to all of my friends and family. The org has become far too disdainful of users. The constant UI/UX regressions are awful for people who just want their browser to work (ie. the vast majority of users), and management are more interested in political posturing than browser development.
My favorite is that functions don't actually have return statements.

A return is just an exit for the function. If you try to assign the output of a function to a variable, it will essentially be a string containing whatever is printed to the console throughout the function's duration.
Why? Because fear is known to be an effective sales tool.

I followed GME maybe 6-7 years ago pretty closely and I recall it having crazy short interest vs float then as well. Am I wrong on that, or is there some reason why the short interest is no longer sustainable? I would think lower prevailing interest rates would help sustain the shorts.

It expects /usr/local/bin/ to be on the $PATH, and so it adds itself to that location.

It doesn't know if you purposely meant to remove it's install location from the PATH, so it doesn't re-add it.

It could do what you ask, but this requires setting the $PATH. The most common way to do so is modifying bashrc, but now you're modifying the user's bashrc. Now you ask, is the user using bash? Maybe you're using the fancy whiz-bang ohmyzsh since that's what Medium told you to do, and now that doesn't work either.

If you keep /usr/local/bin on your $PATH (which is standard in most 'nix installations) then you don't have to change anything or do anything. Why do _you_ have such an abnormal system? We can play this game all day and it's fucking miserable. Just learn how to use your tools for fuck's sake.
