"A simple language is easier to read."
"A simple language builds simple software".

It's become a cliche to bring up brainfuck here, but it really is a direct refutation of these ideas, being a maximally simple language that produces maximally complicated code.
There's been a number of reconstructions of viking ships[1], and some of them like e.g. this one [2] have been sailed, so that would have been an amusing possibility.

I work in education.

These passive aggressive kids who try to dismantle the class need to be removed from good students. People online demand that teachers be like part superhero, part hilarious talk show host they don’t realize how exhausting it is to hold back 20-30 kids day after day for that one kid or group who hate going to school and only want to ruin the day for everyone else.

We can all admit that there are some toxic people at the office yet to suggest as much with children is heavily frowned upon. I now have a live and let live approach to these specific kids. They can waste time, zone out, even chat with their buddies but as soon as they cross the line into bothering someone else then I must intervene.

It’s really difficult to make everyone happy. It’s so wild to me how some kids will love me while others will view me as like some kind of antagonist in a Charles Dickens story no matter how much I try to win them over. They just don’t want to be there.
50 Cents Token – Experiment “Is Tether (USDT) a Scam?”
My wife spent a couple years volunteering as the treasurer for our local PTA, and we are parents of two elementary-age kids. The harsh truth is that a lot of parents have really terrible, entitled attitudes, and they take it out on teachers. The things I've seen are eye-opening, and it makes me sympathize here with the school board. I can't blame them for venting when they were on a call they thought was just their group. We've all done it. What they said was extremely bland compared with what gets said every day by parents.
To me, the most impressive use of tree-sitter was an iOS text editor that uses it to parse huge JSON files / mixed language files and highlight them in a very robust way. [0][1] I’m hoping tree-sitter becomes more common like LSP and Emacs can get exact highlighting and other tools with it…

I really was hopeful that the article would move beyond this point. It even teased with a "In fact, there is good reason to question the idea that C++ is genuinely “faster” or has a “lower latency” than Java at all."

But then it just restates the development time point! (at least acknowledging that is absurd this time)

> First, there’s the (slightly absurd) point that if you have two developers, one writing in C++ and one in Java, and you ask them to write an platform for high-speed trading from scratch, the Java developer is going to be trading long before the C++ developer.

Rising stock price due to currency devaluation is already happening.
The irony here is that GOP-led states tend to be the ones where schools are open, and in blue states (like California) they're more likely to be closed.

There's also no evidence of schools that are open (nationally it's about 70% of them that are open to some extent or another) being large vectors for spreading COVID, so clearly precautions are being taken.

There are only 32 starting NFL quarterback jobs available in the entire world, and more or less that number of backup QB jobs.

You can't really compare with an anonymous junior engineer position.
I absolutely did not expect another album, at least not anytime soon, for precisely the same reason (well, I didn't put it in the hl3 metaphor). But this official breakup announcement still breaks my heart, despite not even having listened to them that much.

They could have just left their costumes standing, as the gleaming pop-house god reservists that they are (except while temporarily leaving reservist status) and silently move on to doing other projects, as they've always done.

Really wonder what triggered the announcement. My guess is either heavy disagreement, perhaps about retiring the bots and continuing as Thomas and Guy-Manuel, or the total opposite, becoming aware that they were likely fading out of those roles forever and deciding that the bots deserve to go with a bang.
What was the issue? Was it the length of the show, the aura of Billy Corgan (and his horrific aesthetics), renditions that somehow made the original versions worse?

Guy was obviously talented but I don't think he's the best judge of his strengths. There's a couple of songs from Adore and Machina where the music videos manage to make the songs drastically worse for me.
Sounds awesome! You've done great work already, I can't wait to see where it goes from here :)

As an Irish person who does not agree with the views of the Catholic Church, I think this is an incredibly stupid thing for Twitter to do. The post very clearly is not advocating self harm, and censoring these viewpoints serves only to galvanise support for religious conservatives, as well as swaying people on the fence over to their side.
A question I’ve always had about 404 and APIs...

How do you distinguish between an invalid path (no end point) and a valid path requesting a resource that doesn’t exist?
I heard this story which I’m not sure is true but could very well be. Apparently two guys claimed to be Daft Punk in Ibiza and racked up massive bills everywhere before splitting. Needless to say that didn’t make them very popular there before everybody figured out what had happened.

GraphQL cannot ever be explored in the same way HATEOAS can because it is missing the linking part (and other related technology like JSON-LD). That said, GraphQL does offer introspection[0] which is not a bad start but lacks the breadth an depth of the hyperlink based approaches.

> Give a firm "no" to your boss for that 4pm meeting!

I can do that because I work remotely for a software company. How's someone who's working the drive-through going to do that? How's the manager of a Walmart going to do that? A pharmacist, a bank teller, a delivery driver?

Taking your kids to the playground in the evening does not address the fact that most people have to work during the day.
For the kind of service they provide, transfer.com would have been better. (Of course if it all it was possible)

Nonetheless, not a bad idea, as companies grow they all want the shortest possible brandable .com domain. I remember seomoz.com rebranded to moz.com for few million $$.
Not yet, but I have it on my watchlist. I wait for wider (rust-like) adoption of Nim, because most of my programming tasks are heavily dependent on the ecosystem and requires a fair amount of libraries.

Requirements aren't very specific since there is a relatively heavy focus on communication and soft skills, and since consulting companies hire lots of fresh graduates the bar for juniors is not so high. It's important to have wide range of interests and shallow knowledge since that increases the number of clients you can be sold to. You are (implicitly) expected to work longer hours than usual and grow quickly though, as I said earlier the good ones can earn 90k per year within five years of graduation.
I'm talking about discussing common burdens with your teammates, not punching a dummy or ruminating in solitude as per the first study. And the second also seems to refer to a different definition of the word.
If we're talking about grid storage, there are many other chemistries with lower specific energy that will not run into resource constraints. For example, sodium may not be a drop in replacement for lithium, but it's far more abundant and makes decent batteries too:

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsenergylett.0c02181

Then there are entire classes of flow batteries that have not been industrialized yet, that have a lot of potential too.

We're using lithium batteries on the grid because we need the high specific energy for EVs, and now that we have an industry it's easy to dual purpose them. But we could also start using those same factories to rolling entire other chemistries that use the same form factor.
We need a prettier for REST API.
Do they have a solution to the (seemingly intractable) problem of people who only read up to the first question in an email, respond to that, and ignore the rest?
Wouldn't it be better to normalise it further? Parents need a reliable method of childcare that they can plan around.

Why not say that schools are a mix between learning and childcare, learning finishes at X and then there is activities/playground time after that.

> Give a firm "no" to your boss for that 4pm meeting!

Great for those that can. What about families that require physical presence or abnormal hours?

> most American kids seem to have no friends near where they live

As a Brit in London, I don't live near many of my friends. We often meet up in central London as its convenient. When I was a kid, many of my friends didn't live near me because school was a few villages away and I liked people from other villages. Kids don't choose their friends based on location.

To me, it seems inefficient for every parent to sort their own childcare when you could centralise it into an institution dedicated to children?
It took me some time to discover that Gorillaz was his band.

That's a great proof of talent, isn't it?
Is c++ that unusual these days? Its the world I live in so I wouldn't know. I wouldn't expect it to be in web stuff backend or client side, but I figured anything embedded big enough to have an OS instead of just a BSP would be using c++. All those triple A game titles use it I'd assume. And most operating systems and drivers. And probably at least a quarter the native applications for desktop or mobile? The college I went to doesn't teach languages, but they have favored languages for assignments. When I was there it was c or java, but starting a decade ago when Bjarne joined the department c++ was the favored, so all thoae grads are at least familiar with it.
You make a good point about these not being teachers, because...

> how could you belittle the parents who maybe are finally reaching a fuller understanding of how critical the system you guide really is

You should see how parents treat teachers. They'd be fully justified in venting.
I once considered looking into some more niche FAANG positions, including some at Apple. Probably won’t make it. I just don’t have the time / capability to learn this stuff vs the domain knowledge for the positions I looked at. If I knew ahead of time what questions would he asked for why position maybe, but given again that the stuff I was looking at at the time was domain specific, not like Glassdoor will really help.
Since I don't go to live shows, I tend to just have the disappointment of finding out that I only like some of my favorite bands' albums, because the arc of their own musical careers doesn't match my own tastes.

Why can't performers just stay the same forever, producing a never-ending sequence of similar but distinct works?

thanks i now have 8 tabs open of different articles from this site.
How do you do testing out of interest? Whenever I have seen dbt used, it is usually data analysts creating new tables on the fly in data warehouse scenarios.

Maybe I am just too used to application developer workflows where models are defined in code and then there are ORMs and schema migration tools to help manage all that.
> I don’t think so. A system with clear record keeping, auditable by third parties, and subject to the judiciary is far better than below:

And we've learned that record-keeping has its own very strong negative side. It alone can establish ties between people, and serve to eliminate privacy all in the names of "transparency". (And I can hear it now too - "Why want privacy if you have done nothing wrong?"). I think we're only at the beginning of crypto-fraud arrests, because the ledger is the log - and that's a liability.

And the auditability is primarily a governmental requirement, usually based around fraud, financing terrorists, or the like. If cheating occurs, the excommunication from the network is the punishment - you are removed from your position of power. And frankly, we can look at our systems of how auditability doesnt stop the various failure modes: blatant financing of terrorism/HBSC, billions of $ transferred away from citizens with usurious fines, overleveraging finance side affecting savings/loan. In the end, auditability is just a way to assign blame. And that blame is never directed towards those at the top who manufacture and use illegal techniques - it is used to blame the rank and file; the cashier, the teller, the engineer, the low middle manager.

And subject to the judiciary is an interesting case you bring up... Because transfers in (I believe) all cryptocurrency is not subject to the judiciary. And in many more popular cryptosystems, that is seen as a strong anti-government bonus, and not a malus. And

Point being, is that the Hawala is the last millenium's Bitcoin.. And when compared to BTC or ETH now, is still strictly better. (And we haven't discussed the barrier to entry, wasted electrical power, e-waste, etc.)
Arguably most crypto currencies are run by oligopolies, putting them in a worse place than even the troubled democracies of the west. How small is the pool of people who control 51% of the hashing power for any given currency? Probably not terribly large.
There's a Star Trek episode (Ship in a Bottle) where a few of the characters are stuck in a simulated version of the Enterprise without their knowledge. They realize what's going on when they attempt a physics experiment that had never been tried in the real world, so the simulation doesn't know how to generate the results. I think this is a plausible strategy, depending on how perfectly this hypothetical simulation replicates the real world.
I think children such as yours should be the exception to the rule for open, in-person schooling right now. Your story, while tragic, perfectly makes the point that most families don't deal with the issues that you're facing, yet many don't have the option to send their depressed, underperforming, and stir-crazy kids to school.
You don't
I can recommend a look at Crystal also, although Crystal is not even 1.0

Between the two I found I needed much less referencing with Crystal, and when I did, I found it more intuitive, well described and easier to remember and apply the same concepts in other places.

https://crystal-lang.org/reference/index.html
If the example is correct, it's injecting more than fluff and flourish. It injected "After weeks of hard work", which doesn't seem supported by anything in the input, and probably sets the wrong tone. Certainly it was at least many months of work prior to launch.
And every time someone makes this point I ask them what the latency of their destructor chains are and no one seems to have measured.

If you don't live and die by a profiler, they you're flying blind.

I've seen a lot of claims that "our system absolutely requires low latency" and then when you dig, it turns out that there is a whole lot of praying under there.

That doesn't invalidate your point, to be fair. But we keep talking about all these mythical hard-real time applications and every time I explore, that actual space gets smaller and smaller.

edit: just to be clear, I brought up destructor chains because they are a potentially large, potentially unpredictable cost in the code that may profoundly depend on the heap layout that is not immediately visible looking at the code. They are something that you need to carefully think about and measure to understand their true cost.
Adobe Co-Founds the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA)
There was a pretty good sci-fi story in (IIRC) Omni, wherein someone figures out how to make a computer that can scan in a document and produce a clear, simple summary.

The main character is a friend of the inventor, who can't seem to make any sales. Later, they run into each other again, and the inventor is HUGELY rich.

Turns out he realized that the original idea was a flop, reversed the process, and sold it to law firms.
Ironically, your comment is a perfect illustration of one of the problems with REST - its tendency to provoke discussion about things that don't actually matter in practice.

No user cares whether an error response came back with a 400 or a 409 status, or what those codes even mean. It's madness that as a profession we spend so much of our employers' time and money on trivial things that deliver no value whatsoever. Response codes, HTTP verbs and pretty hierarchical URLs are all meaningless. I've lost count of the number of meetings I've been in where there have been pointless, timewasting debates about these things. Should we expose separate /foos and /bars endpoints? Should it be /foos/{foo_id}/bars/{bar_id}? Or maybe both? Do we need a POST, a PUT or a PATCH? Etc, ad nauseam.

I'm generally cautious when it comes to embracing new technologies, but I've wholeheartedly embraced GraphQL simply because it has removed countless hours of unproductive bikeshedding from my professional life.
Break up? Probably more like retirement. 20+ years man.
Iirc the idea behind brave is to create a sustainable alternative to the ad/data collection of big tech. They use blockchain to enable microtransactions for content.
I'd recommend against using `v1` in the path and prefer content negotiation:

GET /resource/1
Accept-Version: ~1.0.2
...

Implementation-wise this ends up with better code (and less code) on the back-end and a reduced number of HTTP routes (which should represent the entities and be maintained).

The pain of REST is that there's very little in terms of "correct" as we don't have a formal specification of the semantics. If you end up using /v1 it's not any more or less REST-ful.
I've seen some "MF DOOM" sets that were clearly not him under the mask.
Thats actually pretty similar to people that invest in collectible cards (e.g. sports or trading card games like Magic). One part of the value increasing is due to supply attrition. Existing cards get either damaged or lost.
Ok, so it was software released with it’s first implementation written in node.

And now have “Apollo”, which is a server that runs inside a v8 engine(node).

It seems to me that the javascript crowd are the ones pushing this forward and seems to me that it was written with javascript as a first class citizen.

The comments are laughably bland compared to what teachers hear every day from parents.
It shouldn't need to be said, but preference is individual. If I dislike something, a high price tag won't change my preference.
My apologies: I linked the wrong source. But, my info is otherwise correct. What I mentioned does not even have anything to do with the expatriation tax for green card holders.

See: https://americansoverseas.org/en/knowledge-centre/when-are-y...

These are the most important headers to look at:

* US Income Tax: How to Relinquish the Green Card

* Form I-407 or Letter of Intent to Abandon Resident Status

Both of my parents were American accountants, and my father was a CPA. So, I guess I have a different outlook on taxes. I do not see them as a big deal except for the fact that I take paying my taxes very seriously, and obviously I do my best when giving information. I always pay them on time. But, I just look at it like "paying my dues to society", whether or not I actually agree with it--which in this case really does not matter--as it is due, legally.

I am just stating this from purely a personal perspective, so please do not be offended. I know we all have different feelings about being taxed, double-taxed, etc.

By the way: I am not afraid of renouncing my US citizenship, even though I am culturally American and it would be harder to access my family.

The only reason why I do not: I have 2 rare immune-mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system. One of them I nearly died from, and is considered to be very rare, with case reports and small cohorts, at best, in the literature. The disease I have was discovered via National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant funds, given to the Mayo Clinic, in the early 2000s. Ultimately, as problematic as the US is, they saved my life, along with the few thousand people diagnosed with this illness worldwide.
I haven't lived in US cities but I'm sure you're correct. I wasn't trying to make an argument for US cities over EU - I've heard they've even bigger problems.

Still I don't consider EU cities (Italy, France, Germany at least) to be great for living.

Maybe with electric transport and better use of police enforcement.
Thanks! Yes, high-altitude UAVs is a great application for our motors. We're developing a new insulation system for our coils so we have spent a lot of time looking into the challenges high altitude poses - corona, cooling, all sorts of fun stuff. Lots of altitude chamber testing in our future!
Yeah but I don't think LSP specs contain syntax-highlighting or semantic highlighting.
But decoding video in practice isn't usually realtime because you still have to do it when you don't have kernel support and are at the whim of your kernel's scheduler which is basically always.

It's a good example of a problem where a realtime system would be useful but it's not a good example of a real-life realtime application (usually).
What about those things Michael Yeadon & Dr Sucharit Bhakdi said about the vaccines being useless. Are they just dumbfuck chodes ?
You might consider taking a look at Celo. They have ultra-light client support [0], it's proof-of-stake with single-block finality, and they run a true EVM that you can program in Solidity. It's mobile-first but since it's fundamentally a fork of Ethereum it is also web3 compatible -- there's a metamask fork here that should soon be functional [1]. Gas is payable in multiple ERC20 tokens, and should remain cheap as the network scales. Not sure if this falls under your "ethereum killers that can do 10x transactions/second" so apologies for shilling if it's not interesting to you.
