Why did you feel that you were too old to learn the newer frameworks, if you don’t mind me asking?

For context, I’m a young(ish) developer and I often wonder at which age will my brain plasticity will stop being able to learn and keep up in this career.

I’m also curious if rather than brain plasticity being a problem in the future, the more likely issue will be losing enthusiasm to constantly learn the latest shiny framework.

Personally, I think a lot of this happens when companies go public.

By necessity, the priority moves from whatever the good product/service was to doing whatever it takes to earn the shareholders more value.

They haven't. A lot of the exercises are unsolved research problems.

You're missing the point entirely. You're just banging your head against "Different people learn in different ways". I am saying, that the thing this course, (that I took by the way), is trying to teach students is the skill of writing proofs effectively.

A solutions guide, as you imagine it, would not teach students to write proofs effectively. Since many of the problems in this book are of a research level, many are highly advanced. Many require many multiple pages of exposition to describe the solution effectively.

You would thus have to make a tradeoff. Remove the harder questions and write simpler explanations, so you can write a cost-effective and printable solutions guide. But then the "solutions" aren't actually solutions at all, but vague allusions towards the correct process. The student assumes that the "answer" are these vague allusions, "since that's what the solutions guide says" and the entire point of the class is bypassed in favor of passing more students.

It has absolutely nothing to do with gatekeeping, or cheaters. And quite frankly, I don't believe that advanced mathematics will ever able to be the most accessible thing in the world. And that's just its nature.

EDIT: Seriously if this was Calc, I'd totally agree with you 110%. A lot of people can only learn that stuff by staring at the answer being worked out. But that's not math man, and it's not what we want to teach people in this course.
Not really. We only did a PoC and never moved beyond that. It was a fallback plan if the lobbyists failed, but people seemed quite confident they would not fail. Apparently someone else did the speech training. revised comment above
It sits in a bad spot. Too powerful/expensive for the size. Bad battery life, like the SE.

Base-model is 800€ in Germany. Who would pay that for a powerful phone inherently limited by screen size??? The crowd looking for small form factors are looking for phone-essentialism/minimalism. Communications, availability/battery life and camera. I would pay 500€ for that. (I wouldn't buy the SE for the bad battery life.)
People care. As evidence I present the entire yellow journalism, reality show, and influencer industry.

People really really care.
I presume that the alternative to a statement is an expression. For example, the ternary operator

x = (a if c else b)

is an expression, where the conditional equivalent

if c:
x = a
else:
x = b

is a statement.
Yup, that's what the PEP seems to suggest.

This along with mutable default values is going to be one of the nastier Python warts.
> There seems to be a belief kicking around that if we could just help minorities in the right way, racism would go away faster.

> I don't think this is so. Time after time in US history, the government has tried to institute "helpful" social programs to lift black people up. Time after time, those efforts have failed. Any time that blacks start to build some wealth for themselves, the government comes in to "help" and screws it all up....

> There is work to be done, and most people don't dispute that. What is disputed is that fighting racism with racism is an effective strategy. It isn't.

One problem with this line of argument is that it is often advanced in bad faith by people whose actual goal is to avoid addressing the problem at all.

Another problem with the "do nothing and let it work itself on its own" approach is that it goes against many conceptions of justice. If you repeatedly stole money from me, most people wouldn't consider the matter settled if you got to keep what you stole and were merely prevented from stealing yet more in the future: justice requires at least some effort to repair the past damage, even though those efforts usually quite imperfect (e.g. monetary compensation for wrongful death).

I would guess that a significant contributor to the problems you outlined was an unwillingness to go the full measure to address the problems, often for illegitimate reasons (e.g. racists maintained enough power to block all but half-ass solutions) or legitimate ones (e.g. enough time passed that the direct perpetrators and victims are dead, but unjust effects nevertheless linger).
Blockchain transactions confirm murky and interconnected ransomware scene
It certainly seems likely to be unpleasant there at the moment. A lot of other AAA developers do so much worse, treating salaried developers like contractors, making them crunch for no additional remuneration and then closing down the studio after the job's done. Hell, even contractors have contracts to protect them from this sort of abuse.

But I think gamedev clearly runs at two levels. There's AAAs and then there's everyone else. The smaller teams either running as a hobby or only just scraping by, and every so often there's a Mojang that makes it big.

But yeah, much easier doing B2B development work.

then type 0 to create a project based on "CatchAll" sample

Finally start cloudgate on your new project path:

Unsustainable projects like these dams, which do give temporary benefit, also encourage both migration closer to a point of failure and unsustainable population growth. In our attempt to alleviate life's challenges for ~100s of people, a few generations later we have ~1000s+ at risk. The lifetime value (net total of good vs suffering caused) may not even be in the positive.

Of course many geoengineering projects likely are way more beneficial over their lifetime, but the analysis must be done to look beyond immediate benefits to ensure we don't destabilize the future in the process. To do things right we have to be better at making calls on which technologies are needed yesterday or today versus tomorrow or never.

Sustainability now is far more important than in times past, as we are now reaching the ceiling of earth's carrying capacity. When we exceed that we risk generations of (or permanent) suffering. As our technology gets better, carrying capacity increases, but our sustainable capacity is far lower than the temporary capacity certain sugar rush solutions provide. These minimal to negative LTV solutions are foolish, not virtuous.

I agree that message is hard to deliver to people, hopefully our species gets wiser so that we won't need to ever have conversations like that in the future. But the only way to reach that point is to break the cycle of unsustainable growth.
Sure, and they can fork the server (which I know isn't completely up to date) as well. No one is entitled to the work and resources of the Signal team. If people don't like where they are going, they are free to fork and build and maintain an alternative on their own.

Yes, convincing the Signal team to address their particular issues would be a much easier path for them, but a) again, they are not entitled to anything, and b) attempting to convince by acting childishly and ignoring the Signal team's wishes is not a great way to convince anyone of anything.

Correct.

> Patterns may use named constants. These must be dotted names to prevent them from being interpreted as capture variable:

NOT_FOUND would always match as a capture variable, so you'd always return default().

I fully expect this to be covered by linters, but not with further language support.
> I think that's massively over-estimating it, based on practical experience of such compilers being built.

Who still writes backends from scratch nowadays (i.e. after ~2010)? The only real examples from recent times I'm aware of are Go and Cranelift: the first is backed by Google and still (arguaby) generates worse code than GCC and LLVM, the second is vastly experimental.

> LLVM is popular but not as universal as you're making out

If you exclude JITs (such as the CLR, JVM and JS engines, all of which have massive corporate backing behind) almost a 100% of _all_ languages that came out in the last decade use LLVM for code generation, even those coming from big players:

- Swift (LLVM)

- Rust (LLVM)

- Zig (LLVM)

- Julia (LLVM)

- Pony (LLVM)

- Kotlin Native (LLVM)

The only other recent languages that come to my mind are Nim and Vala, and the both generate C. Outside of these, no new language has ever rolled out its own backend, unless there was a huge (Google-class) corporation behind.

The only compilers I know which have their own backends and are still relevant (i.e. they are used in the real world) are:

- FreePascal
- GHC
- OCaml
- DMD (now largely supplanted by GDC and LDC)

These all have been started in '90s or before, and thus had their own backends already when LLVM became popular. Everything else is JIT, or is either backed by very big companies (such as Microsoft) or uses GCC.

Why would anyone waste time writing a compiler backend nowadays? It took LLVM almost 20 years to reach performance parity with GCC, and still it is sometimes problematic due to not supporting as many architectures as GCC.
In that case I probably missed out on all of that. She came to us pre-loaded with the ability to understand all of those things. Perhaps from your network?

> (As an aside, "What would happen if the British Parliament did repeal the British North America Act 1867 or Canada Act 1982?" is a rather fun hypothetical from the Canadian side.)

The Queen would likely (rightly) refuse Royal Assent if parliament tried that, given that as she is also Queen of Canada, she could never legitimately allow the UK Parliament to do that.

And if so some reason she did not, it would have no real impact on Canada anyway. Practically speaking Canada is in no way bound by the UK at this point. While legal theory may claim otherwise, it does not really matter. Legal theory would also claim the US constitution is illegitimate, because it was not passed in the way considered correct by its predecessor document (Articles of Confederation). Nobody cares.

The UK trying to change Canada's constitutional situation would be no more effective than the US passed a law claiming to amend Canada's constitution. The Government of Canada would laugh at it, and otherwise move on with their day. In the UK case they might debate changing to no longer be a Monarchy, since their Queen had failed them here.
Basic but important things such as renames don't even show up...
I think your initial premise is flawed - that males and females form neat clusters with perfect Gaussian distributions, on any reasonable number of dimensions. Yes, on the axis for attraction to men, gay men are shifted towards the female group. On the majority of dimensions, males and female are probably hard to distinguish. On some dimensions, gay men may indeed cluster away from women.
Here are some timings using three different approaches using Cython, and also numba: https://share.cocalc.com/share/df81e09e5b8f16f28b3a2e818dcdd...

Numba wins and is about twice as fast as my most clever Cython code. Naive Cython is pretty bad, but more clever Cython is reasonably good (though not as good as numba).

They don’t seem to be using a fuzzer that uses a “smart” way of creating new inputs based on previous inputs that revealed novel execution paths, as done in the AFL fuzzer ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_fuzzy_lop_(fuzzer) ).

I wonder why that is— that always struck me as a particular elegant approach, and I know AFL has been used to find tons of bugs in various popular open source projects. There was a popular article on HN a while back where AFL even “learned” how to generate valid jpg image file headers.
I just read this, and having never used any internal package registry to me it's just mind-boggling how the dependencies are recorded and the default logic for picking which repo to use (i.e. the one with the highest package version).
Don't those languages typically have immutable variables so you would not be able to rebind a constant by accident?

At least several years ago, the cracked John Deere firmware was done by Ukrainian hackers. This seems like a serious vulnerability for supply-side attacks.

High-end tractors have been driving autonomously for years, with precise GPS, multiple cameras, Internet connections, etc. It's not unthinkable that hostile nation-state actors could hack the firmware to simply direct a 25-ton combine to leave the field and drive through the nearest population center (or high-voltage transmission line, oil storage tank, etc.)

In your above post, which I was replying to, you asked for "any causative evidence". I was pointing out that the OP did provide evidence that creates an undeniable causal link between the lenient policies and a subsequent crime in which someone was killed.

This doesn't prove that all, or even most, of the crime in SF is caused by the DA's policies. But it clearly establishes that some of the crime is causally linked to the policies, and this is what troubles SF residents.
Indeed, D has coverage, profiling, and unittests (unittest {}) built directly into the language and it massively eases using these concepts and encourages their use casually.

I really wonder how big of a problem with tractors, considering there really isn't anything out there for this issue.

Looking at car world, for cars even with locked ecus, you can get things like piggyback or standalone units, transmission controllers, awd controllers, dynamic suspension controllers, and so on, because there is a huge market for it both in amateur racing and enthusiast modification, and most of these void warranty.

Seems like this would be pretty straightforward to do - in the end, all mechanical equipment follows some raw control signal that easy to intercept and modify. Legally, you can even get around most restrictions by selling programmable modules and then making the software open source.

My guess is that paying John Deer for whatever they ask is not a big deal financially to most (although probably not all) farmers.
