I've entered a mid-life zen w.r.t. languages. Most important is the people and irreplaceable knowledge they have in their heads, about the tricks, methods, and environments they've worked in. Languages correlate with that, and so are a semi-useful indicator of past skills. You want a person to write the bootloader for your Mars helicopter? You hire a C programmer most likely, not a C# programmer, but who knows? You want a person to bootstrap your image processing pipelines for your scientists? Maybe Python? Maybe? This area is much more loose.

If a valuable tool or method is expressed in (or even only expressible in) a particular language, then so be it. Often, there are many more choices than people believe, and what is right for the person, so long as it serves the organization or need appropriately, is fine by me.

A language is a tool. Most languages do pretty much the same thing. Most languages' ecosystems, application adoption, and developers are much more important than the languages' seatbelts and headlights.
I completely agree that there are problems on both sides, but I don't see how your reasoning encourages "everyone realizing this fact and explicitly agreeing to some form of detente". On the contrary, progressives seem to see "the right has oppressed people" as a mandate to do everything they can to make war on the right and even moderate positions (because moderate positions are characterized as dog whistles that conservatives hide behind, and the "fascist" "Nazi" right must not be given any potential cover no matter the cost). I really thought your posts were intentionally stoking this attitude, and I would never have guessed that you wanted detente if you hadn't explicitly said so.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The post illustrates what makes fiction so effective: the story is an amalgamation of many bad habits in a person and in an organization. In reality such coincidences rarely happen but in a fictional narrative the likelihood is irrelevant. What you get is a poignant portrayal and personification of what should not happen.
Try being falsely accused of sexual assault (or similar), forced into a plea bargain due to trumped up charges (or hell, beat the charge and still be considered guilty because "believe women"), and having your name plastered all over the Internet - and then getting a job in anything remotely public-facing. I know two people personally who had their lives ruined as a result of the amplification effect of the Internet.

The companies don't have to believe you did anything wrong. They just have to fear that the mob might believe it and hurt their bottom line.
I've done this as well, and it's often made me happier and saved me time.

It made me realize most links that I open I don't care to read, and often just the headline or a few sentences about a topic is the best signal/noise ratio and use of my time. This is especially the case for most news/politics/event articles (although in that case I'd not even bother with most headlines either).
C++ still has a lot of rope to hang yourself. For example, there is the stuff Rusts borrow checker prevents. Or that members are initialized by declaration order and a wrong initializer list can lead to undefined behavior. Or all those implicit conversion rules (ok, the annoying tendency to convert to int is inherited from C).

The most ugly aspect is that C++ has a lock-in effect like Whatsapp. As long as your codebase is in C, you can easily interface with nearly all other languages. Once important parts are in C++ though, only C++ can reasonably interface with it.
IP address isn't vague. It identifies your city, state, and country, and your ISP, which gives at the least an indicator of residential/commercial/mobile.

Coupled along with other data sources, it can frequently give street address or phone number.
Strangely, I can reproducibly crash my phone by playing the video on this link. It goes into a "lockdown" loop and eventually reboots to recovery mode with a warning about data loss. (Pixel 3, Firefox mobile, Android 11 with latest patch)
From a purely pragmatic point of view, a lot of especially Eastern Europe and Eastern Germany are viscerally aware that "anything you're doing socially, religiously, politically" will always somehow include something illegal and worrying about surveillance results in self-censorship.

I really don't think that's unreasonable, the fall of the berlin wall was within living memory. I hope that the NSA isn't going to do anything too, but the idea that they can't or won't is clearly not true. Staying under the radar might feel pragmatic, but I think a lot of people realize that's entirely inadequate with constantly shifting political environments.
Well then you come back around to valuing nature imo

> and everyone would waste a lot of resources trying to become farmers

• There's only so much arable land, so people couldn't do this.

⋄ Thus, people who wanted to become farmers but didn't have land would either give up, or innovate things like hydroponics.

• There's only so much food people need to eat. Producing more than that isn't contributing value; in this case, markets approximate that reasonably well (though with other problems, so many governments subsidise food production in some way).

• People already waste a lot of resources trying to become tax-reduction lawyers or middle managers¹ or gain other high-paid, useless jobs.

> If you drive a truck of medical supplies, you'd make millions, but if you drive a truck of consumer goods, you'd make very little, despite doing the same work.

Good point! This hypothetical system that hasn't had hundreds of years to work out the kinks has some potential issues. I wouldn't say it's worth dismissing it out of hand because of that, though; they don't seem like fundamental problems. For instance, the current system already distinguishes between rapid medical transportation networks (e.g. organ motorcyclists) and regular ol' freight.

Before trying to solve these problems, we should work out how the (magical, instant, “everyone just decides to start doing it”) introduction of such a system would change society. It's entirely possible that it would change enough to eliminate this problem, and introduce others in its place.

---

¹: Middle management isn't inherently useless – there can be useful hierarchies involving middle management, I'm sure. In my personal experience, I haven't encountered any, and popular culture agrees with me so it's decent shorthand, but if your job title is “middle management” and you have a genuinely useful job, this isn't a dig at you. (Tax lawyers, though… offence intended.)
The problem I have with your argument, is you assume that my frustration is just over a single device from Apple.

I have literally had every single apple product since the Apple ][e -- aside from their server systems.

I have had every iPhone (even had pre-launch phones from them) since launch up until I stopped at the 6s+ which is the only phone I will ever own from them.

I have a history with apple that is not shallow and I have had ~35 years of judgement against them.

I recall getting into a talk with a fellow engineer at Lockheed where I said "Trust me, Apple will switch to intel procs - and this apple boi almost had a heart attack saying that would NEVER happen...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_transition_to_Intel_proce
ssors

Yeah that happened ~2 years before it actually occured...

(I used to work for intel and have stories about trend prediction there as well...)

So yeah, I'm solid in my position of what I know to have happened...
It works because that's not the calculation being made. You're not giving up money specifically to a "Steve" or "Joe". What you are doing is putting money into a pool. From that pool, the money is redistributed in such a way as to provide baseline income to people in need. Most of the people it is redistributed to are not "Steve" or "Joe", and the calculation is that it is cheaper to ignore free riders such as Steve/Joe as they are a small minority. The calculation is also that not providing this baseline is both economically bad (providing a baseline seems to be much more cost effective than dealing with effects of not doing that) and morally bad (most of the people in need of the baseline are in need of it not [directly] through fault of their own)
Just like how that increase in marginal tax rate prevents anyone from climbing into the upper tax brackets (and why we never had millionaires back when the top bracket was > 90%), eh?

Of course people can keep the surplus. Some of it. But we're a far, far cry from the point where people will stop working when only getting a percentage of their labor's worth (or their parent's labor's worth, as is often the case).
Why not go further? Remove their arm, leg, eye. Put them at most disadvantage. See if they can succeed!
Weird title (and full disclosure, I've only read the title).

1. How can a programming language runtime have characteristics of dist-sys?

2. HA + FT = susceptible to netsplits. That's not always desirable.

3. What does "distributed" mean? MP? Or SOA-type of distribution?

Titles like this always bother me with new languages because it feels like they're trying to fit in as many buzzwords as possible.

Undefined behavior is not the problem that people make it to be. First of all, undefined behavior is well understood by compilers, in fact it is exactly exploited by compilers to make code run faster. The only thing you need to solve UB is to ask compilers to stop exploiting it (which normally can be done by reducing optimization). And of course you can rewrite your code to stop relying on UB. Despite all the complains, I have never seen code suffering from UB that couldn't be fixed.

> And to the parent of this thread we keep seeing constant research showing IPCC is off (sometimes wayy off) in their worst case (e.g. we're there or past it in many respects).

Of course, that's expected. Even if you assume that IPCC is 100% on point, then with p-value threshold of 0.05, you'd expect 1 in every 20 studies to show that IPCC is off.

The real question is whether the scientific consensus changes by the time the next IPCC report comes out. Maybe it will, we shall see. At the same time, consider what kind of message you are sending here: you are asking everyone to not listen to scientific consensus, and instead promote alarmism, because there are a few studies that challenge the consensus.

There is nothing wrong with challenging the consensus, that's how we get progress, but how do you want to win trust of the society, which is required to deal with this planet-wide situation, when, right after the (mostly won) fight for people to stop with denialism and believe the science, you turn around and say "yeah, that consensus we asked you to believe, instead of a handful of contrarian papers, is not what we actually want you to believe, instead you should believe this other handful of contrarian papers"? That's only going to sow distrust and alienate people.
> 3 of the 5 factors you list boil down to "OP made good decisions and worked hard"

One of those "decisions" was avoiding prison. OP says people call him privileged, so he probably didn't belong to a race that is jailed disproportionately for crimes that white people are let off for.
That's terrible. Is it possible to even root it without enabling debug mode though? I've always had to use "adb reboot-bootloader" to get into the bootloader because the stupid key combination doesn't seem to work on recent phones, or maybe it's just that my fingers aren't fast enough.
They abuse the data constantly in that they are based in the US and are legally obligated to provide it to federal government snoops without a warrant or probable cause.

They abused over 30,000 customers in 2019 in this manner per their own transparency report.

All for data they didn't need to collect in the first place.
I agree with you. But there is a lot of leftist infighting, especially between MLs, Anarchists, LibSocs, DemSocs, AnComs, etc...

And there is also of neoliberals that pretend to be leftist, yes, so called "Radlibs".

Then there are leftists that accuse other leftists that aren't of their same brand of being liberals, for example MLs calling anarchists liberals because they admit markets, or anarchists calling MLs capitalists/liberals because of state capitalism and the DotP, and then MLs calling DemSocs liberals because they want to operate at least partiallty within "bourgeois democracy", etc...

It's a very North America thing, though.
I have a 5 years old oppo phone and decide to use it as podcast device. A few odd thing about this phone:

1) My Google, IG accounts both sent me security alert about successful login attempt from from Thailand, Vietnam. I 100% sure I only created the IG from this phone once and have not used that password from anywhere else.
IG Username / password was taken from this phone and attempt to be login from somewhere else.

2) I can't get the phone to disconnect from wifi. I put the phone on airplane mode, disable wifi, bt, etc. Manually change the wifi password to something else. it always successfully reconnected back after a few days with old password. There are logic in the phone can try very hard to state connected online. It remembers old password and successfully connect successfully with it after a few days.

Only rename the wifi ap in my router seems to finally permanently disconnect it from the network.

3) I have let the phone back online and created Google account that is 100% unique to this phone. Love know how long would it take for the login attempt for that G account from Thailand/Vietnam start to show up.
If Google execs believe that AIs trained on the public Web are the future of Google, this paper basically argues that those AIs, and by extension Google's future, are unethical and probably can't be fixed at any reasonable cost.
Ah yes Thomas Paine published nothing of worth because nobody took "Common Sense" seriously since they were anonymous leaflets....

Anominity has nothing to do with how well considered something is - there was an improved lower bound on 4Chan as a source and many publishing absolute nonsense under their real name as a lucrative careers.

There is no neccessity - only the whinging of those upset they arr no longer able to argue ad bacculum.
Our team had the same issues and we decided to build this app as, at least, a partial solution: ShareTheBoard.com

It works particularly well if you're already accustomed to using real whiteboards (and it sounds like you are). Would love some feedback, if you get a chance to try it.
Someone peacefully protesting is not a "lawbreaker". The quote you provided only refers to criminals. In fact "the right of the people peaceably to assemble" is explicitly allowed in the Constitution.

Please show me where he said peaceful protestors should have force used upon them.
The presence of the button is mandatory, your use of it is not.
It's important to understand that while the Right in America uses “liberal” to encompass everything to their left, the American Left (in line with much of the world outside the US, which did so longer) tends to use it specifically for a center-to-center-right pro-capitalist position roughly coextensive with neoliberalism; the (decreasingly, but still) dominant centrist wing of the Democratic Party is “liberal”, but not, in that view, most of the rest of the Party.
That would apply if you were thinking of rehiring those same people, but not if you were to hire someone new you had no exposure to right?

Otherwise, it is pretty much the textbook definition?
The whole notion of "spyware" in today's world is relative. Everything is a spyware these days.
"| She did, likely after she was told what would happen otherwise.

Do you have any evidence of this or are you just saying it? "

If you are asking if I have inside information and maybe personal email between author and medium. I do not. It would be odd if I did. What I do have, however, is rather vivid memories of the same kind of idiocy working in practice in the old country, the only difference being that it was done under barely hidden threat from the state. All I have is instinct and here it is flashing bright red, because there are people in US right now, who are happily accepting this not only acceptable, but necessary ( not completely unlike communism era writers writing morality plays about the importance of writing things that are not upsetting to the system ).

"I was responding to this:

| This is truly the dark age of the information era.

and this:

| popular platforms are pressured to not do business with you

Both implies greater forces at play than a small, small minority of voices on twitter making authors feel bad.

Social media gave everyone a voice, what I don't understand is why anyone is surprised that there are vocal micro-minorities like this.

Years ago, they wrote a letter to the editor or the television station. Now they write it on Twitter.

That's not a dark age, and the opportunity to publish is much, much better now than it has ever been in the modern era."

If dissenting voices are silenced, it absolutely bears comparison to a dark age of information. You cannot excuse it. Nor should you.
This isn't solely directed towards you, but as a general comment: if you're keen to illustrate a point about code behaviour (as we often are!) then it can potentially save time and ambiguity to include commit references and line ranges.

It still doesn't guarantee that the behaviour is stable (because dependencies within the linked range may change before a reader gets to it) but it can help support your message (and hopefully your argument) both at time-of-authorship and in future.

(and yep, it's a tradeoff of your own time -- and response time -- against future readers' time; often tricky to handle. I think code browsers could do a lot more to make it easier)
I think the real answer is resilience. Enough people, especially those in positions of power (who decide whether to fire someone), must stop giving a shit.

There will be some evolutionary pressure there. I don't think Elon Musk would fire his engineer over a doubtful tweet, given that his own Twitter feed is pretty wild. Once some places establish themselves as safe, they will attract "mouthy talent".
Since people can multiply, infinite amounts is a possible scenario. Also scarcity - think of "a kingdom for a horse". If there are 1000 apples and 1001 people, and everybody who doesn't get an apple starves to death, the 1001th apple would be worth an infinite amount of money to the 1001th person at least, or to the person who wants to save them by all means.
At least, the form factor, and the interfaces: 4x 10G SFP+, 4x SATA, not bad. Looks like a compact but solid board for CPU-light loads, likely comparable to boards based on Intel's C37xx. What made me sad is that the memory is not ECC apparently :(

No estimated price and no performance figures still.
Mine is profile name

BTW mine is only a list and I won't mind any feedback here in comments.
Thanks - sounds like it was a lot of things but mainly low cost compute and sensors. Not to mention Elon's deep pockets and appetite for risk.

Glad we agree on the shape of things :)

I was more being descriptive than prescriptive, I'm just posting here.. but it's a problem that all of the energy and outrage go into stylistic and cultural bullshit. In a perfect world we could channel that energy into community organizing, electoralism, or other forms of people getting out there and interacting with the groups they claim to speak for.
This looks great! I think a similar framework Storybook should also be noted.

I definitely see a future where the IDE has much more awareness of your development environment, this is a step in that direction at least for React.

Game developers get a lot of these benefits from their IDE typically having more tools than webdevs with a text editor. Hoping to see more of this in the future!
I know you didn't mean it this way but I would not describe any part of this experience as "lucky."

But you're right. The patrolman came right out and said that he was knocking down the no-insurance charge to an unregistered citation because I didn't have a criminal record. What he didn't know is that I do have a criminal record, just not in that state. Guess his systems don't connect to the federal ones.

So yeah. "Lucky" is right.

What galls me about this is that if you look at any of the individual steps in isolation, it sounds perfectly logical, or at least there's an argument to be had. And that's the level at which we argue about these things when it comes to passing laws.

But when you look at the whole thing end-to-end, it is crystal-clear that there is a sum greater than its parts, and that sum functions to drive people who are in poverty even further into poverty. In this particular case there's the additional unintended consequence of prioritizing the flow of money over actual vehicle safety.
Yes, at the site linked.
