~Zig doesn't support TCE.~

Edit: Tried with different optimization levels, it seems it might. I wonder if it's an optimization from LLVM. Nevertheless, I don't think that Zig is the kind of language where you want to use recursion as your primary mean of looping; it's not a functional language, it's a procedural language.
It's also the case that the perception of non-technical companies having garbage IT means they get overlooked by more savy admins in their job-hunt. Very few people want to drag a manufacturer kicking and screaming into modern IT, when it's way easier to get a job with a company that gets it.

This year is going to be huge for Google cloud and m365.
Good question/feedback. The app is not currently end-to-end encrypted.

We've looked into doing this but haven't found a way to do it while supporting transcription.

We're currently planning on implementing single-use keys to balance security with transcription needs.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Covid Analytics Lecture
Hello,
exactly one year ago I was under quarantine due to Covid and I composed this lecture.
All scripts are still working - checked it todoy.
Stay healthy

No. You should say exactly the words I wrote, which is "earthscienceman only has a PhD because he managed to survive a mediocre system through pure grit and determination"

My grit and determination is not a metric that shows that the system functions.
I think lamps surrounded by charged coils do decent job of passively zapping mosquitoes since they zap themselves practically.

Design patterns appear in languages without enough syntax sugar.

But having too much syntax sugar can be a problem, too. At least, design patterns translate between languages/systems, it's a common language. Syntax sugar isn't.
The point is that you could physically separate the organ from the body and just make the person take a pill with hormones. Unless you're some crazy Extended Mind Thesis guy who thinks that the environment is part of your mind, having an influence on the mind is not the same thing as being part of it.

I'm not sure whether the changes would really be large enough to classify them as a new person. Hormone replacement therapy seems like a pretty damn large change, but I don't think I've heard of a case where there's truly radical personality changes. The same goes for other gland issues and their treatment. Though this is just guessing of course.
I agree with some of your points, but I think you overlook that being a "headquarter state" actually kind of sucks for your average person. The rise in incomes for typical people don't come close to offsetting the inflation that results from the large influx of high-income knowledge workers. All my wife's friends who attended the University of Iowa with her and stayed in state own houses and are getting on with their lives in their mid 30s. That's a wild fantasy in D.C. or NYC or SF. California's net domestic outmigration is over 5 per 1,000 (more people leaving than coming in). That's the inverse of places like Georgia, Florida, Idaho, Oregon, Arizona, etc. Middle class people are running away from the headquarters states.

You obviously don't want to go full Detroit and completely lose your local industries. But more of the U.S. becoming like California would actually be bad too.
What I was trying to say was: yes, you probably shouldn't fly the 737 Max in particular (and perhaps 787), no doubt about that. But to write off the entire company's fleet of airliners when they still obviously have planes that continue to maintain excellent history seems kind of extreme and unwarranted. Like presumably you think they somehow compromised on safety on their other models too, despite their safety records, to bring them into the market. Shouldn't that give you pause on Airbus too, given they've actually gone so far as to to bribe people to get their planes into the market?

I've more critical of Boeing than some folks here in the past, but if your goal is safety, you're just limiting your own options by rejecting planes with provably good safety records. (Or if you somehow think that's warranted, then there seem to be plenty of reasons to question Airbus's integrity too.) OTOH, if your goal is to just do this as some kind of economic retaliation (a "vote with your wallet" thing), in which case, never mind, I misunderstood your goal as being safety-related. Though you're not the person who wrote the initial comment, so I guess your reason could be different.
So a murderer is he still a murderer if his memory is wiped? Or should we let him go?

If you are already in London, I would stay put. Major FANG companies like FB are already making major inroads to build out offices in the UK. And they will likely disrupt the UK/EU salaries quite a bit in the coming years.

Look for contacts in those companies and try and land a gig there. Far easier than relocating and dealing with Visa issues in the US.
Disagreed. When the money starts rolling in, your thinking changes. Not saying there are no people who resist it but most don't, and I've seen good YouTube and Twitch channels get completely ruined after their creator went past the $3000 donations/subs mark per month.

You most certainly are not the only person.

At this point, I presume governments are breaking every law on the books. Who is going to stop them?
My point was not that a commenting system should be implemented using this or that protocol (though it's likely just as easy using established AP or web<->XMPP frameworks). In fact, i believe a public commenting system is a very valid usecase of matrix's censorship-resilient decentralized rooms even though i'm not entirely sure of the consequences of that in terms of moderation/spam.

I was reacting to matrix being "not meant to be any one thing". I explicitly recall matrix being marketed by the community (maybe not the devs themselves) as a modern, censorship-resilient IRC replacement that fitted in a short (single?) specification and intentionally avoided the extensibility (and associated implementation/interop failures) of the XMPP protocol.

When i say matrix is a more specific use-case than other federated protocols, i mean that decentralized rooms can be implemented as a consensus-reaching algorithm on top of any federated protocol, and that's in fact what matrix servers are doing under the hood. But supporting the usecase of least-metadata-leakage in a protocol designed for sharing state across many actors is arguably trickier.

For example, i believe matrix doesn't currently support per-room nicknames which don't reveal your public address to all members of the room (only to chatroom admins for ban purposes). matrix has very interesting developments with or without this specific feature, but i was highlighting that matrix is not more generic/agnostic than other federation protocols (just like XMPP isn't a "universal" protocol either).

Like i'm very interested in matrix P2P ecosystem there's some really amazing stuff being developed there (pinecone), but i must say the entire matrix selling pitch is very similar to the selling pitch of XMPP more than a decade ago: "a universal bridgeable messenger". Regarding the P2P example, XMPP had offline-first "zeroconf" federation (XEP-0174) drafted in 2006. Despite being far less advanced than modern matrix P2P, it was already very similar in spirit.

So my central point i guess, is not that one protocol is better than the other. They all have very strong pros and cons depending on the actual usecase. Different users, or same users across different contexts/activities may prefer one technology or the other. My point is i believe it is our responsibility as technologists to ease their life and standardize things for more interoperability so users can have a choice between "the federated networks" and "centralized silos" instead of having a choice between "centralized silos" and "tiny federated islands that mostly don't talk to one another", adjusting the balance of power in our favor which is in the direct interest of everyone involved except the corporate silicon valley sociopaths.

Cory Doctorow's latest talks have pretty compelling arguments for interoperability if you have some time to spare.
I’d be curious about a similar article in summer running, esp in high humidity. I find this far more exhausting than winter running, where my greatest obstacle is layering well.
Why Are Housing Prices Up, and Rents Down?
Well there's also the allure of the physical object that the artist created by hand. People done go see the Mona Lisa rather than a replica for bragging rights. That's not there with digital goods.
What's the other proof of ownership?

NFTs are the digital equivalent of a vehicle title, that's the strongest usecase (proof of ownership), IMO. I'm not too keen on the collectibles/art usecases, they're probably the easiest/low-effort ones.
It sounds like you want a forum/community with a recipe database attached. Which is probably what you’d need to do to get traction- those who are googling “how to cook bacon” will always hit the ad-spam sites first.

A forum for cooking that’s well done (harhar) enough to get 100 people to pay $10 a month to support seems possible - but you might need to enlist a YouTube celebrity cook to get it started. Try a partnership?
imagining them spilling a million gallons a day undetected is so depressing
I think magic links can be quite secure, and for spike.sh most users will have a company provided and company managed email account. There are also techniques to make magic links more secure, like pinning them to the browser/device that requested the log-in using a cookie.

I think passwordless-only is a bad call for the consumer market. Notion ran passwordless for years but we dealt with constant issues of users losing access to their email and having no (easy for them) way to prove ownership of the related Notion account. We switched to normal password accounts.
> The article rejects anything worse than the best part of current systems

For a technology that's frequently hailed as the best new thing since sliced bread, it's quite telling that it can't exhibit a single of the best parts of current systems. And it's replete with parts that are worse than even the worst parts of the current systems.

> I could retort and point to companies actually using blockchain but you can easily argue flaws in their implementation.

Of course I would. And the articles argues as well, successfully. Because for the absolute vast majority of these real-world companies anything they do can be done better, faster, and more efficiently without the use of blockchain. And if the are not busy scamming people, they are busy re-implementing, often poorly, those "best parts of current systems" that you're so quick to dismiss.
Practicing dynamic programming algorithms is also an excellent way to get better at recursion (and recurrences).

Even better, dynamic programming is often more production worthy, since it can result in improved time complexity.
I wasn't surprised, I've used their product...

You say it's not going anywhere but things can change. Bitcoin's energy use is roughly proportional to the price. If people sell bitcoin and buy another currency that is more proof of stake the energy useage can go down.
Or people just make it look like they’ve made mistakes.

Maybe this was an elaborate honeytrap set by the hackers for the hacker hackers.

Possibly an AI independently hacked the hackers.

A hacker may have convinced an AI to hack the hackers while posing as the hacker hackers. The AI then hacked the hackers’ honeytrap which exposed one single piece of data included by mistake. Only the AI knows why, since the hacker was brainwashed by a secret society of vegans.

Yes, we could have tabs to switch between different applications running on that shared runtime.

And a universal way of accessing any published application for that runtime through some kind of address bar.
I wondered when I'd see a mention of RSPSs on here. God what an excellent time of my life that was. Running a server with my brother got me into programming and tech and was such an absolute pleasure. We had the good fortune of never being DDoSed but I suppose our scale was small enough to avoid it (20 players max at any given time). I had never heard about the tool you're mentioning.
If he really is the chief engineer and that has any meaning, for ex if he signed off the design, should he not maybe be jailed for his failure to know what he signed?

It's not an obituary, and you'd know it if you'd bothered to read it. It very aptly describes the perpetual state of bitcoin in particular, and of blockchains in general.
Yeah, today's hackers lack class. The Cyberpunk codebase hack would be pretty funny if someone awk'd the subtitle files to say "Can I haz cheeseburger?", but I guess today's crowd is more interested in editing HTML and CSS.
Security requires good governance and trust - and ultimately realizing that everything connected online can and will likely be breached - and so if something is important enough, the design should be that it never touches the network. I personally don't fear any of my history or life coming out if it were - at least at this point, and in reality if security becomes a real concern due to well, tyranny and the universal battle against bad actors/evil, then my current location would be the only thing I'd ultimately not want known - and so you simply stay off grid then.
Gaining popularity is quite an exceptional event. Nim is a fine language although some choices are quite opinionated but such is the case for Go as well.

D compiles (DMD compiler) pretty damn fast too. Which is exactly faster to compile D or Go depends on the nod in a horse race.
Most non-tech companies don't have an IT department, they outsource.

Which means they rely on those companies to do the right thing, while not really prioritizing the work (i.e. not giving it much budget), or being able to critically evaluate the quality of the work being done.

So none of this is surprising.
I agree about the nostalgia, and will also add (differing), that at least in some ways, those were more fun times ... because the overhead of all this modern complexity (although it sure does confer greater features and power), does kill off some of the fun.
The headline is also kind of misleading, in that it makes it seem like the (entirely voluntary) extension is targeting the vast universe of hate speech... though it really just applies to a single word.
Do you breath predominantly through your mouth, or through your nose?

If the former, this could be a factor in why your lungs are chronically bracioconstricted. The nose has both a filtering and humidifying effect on the air.

I really suggest that anyone suffering from cough or sore throat take some time to watch this:

I'm not sure where people get the idea that this is unique to Texas, or that Texas even has the most liberal allowances for use of deadly force. That is definitely not the case.

As a semi-random example, $500 property crime was the threshold for justifiable homicide in Nevada (appears to be $1200 now + a $0 threshold for some classes of property). Criminals knew this and often carefully limited their activity to avoid this threshold, with odd property selection effects.
This is working out for me as well to the point I will consider wearing a mask during the winter in the following post covid cold seasons.
I should also mention that it isn't in-house IT, but a separate company, and the whole thing was set up in a rushed effort late on a Friday afternoon the week before the whole working from home business would start (our management slept on it until the last minute), with a lot of other companies requesting the same support from the IT company at the same time.
Not that it completely excuses everything, and as you can tell from the Windows 7 PCs it was never the most secure setup, but simply to explain some of the reasons behind the mess.
Except those sorts of collectibles drive much of their value from their limited supply.
The best explanation I heard of design patterns is, that they are not a template to slavishly follow when producing code, but a common language to talk about code. So you should be able to go and identify, look, this is an iterator, this is a command pattern, this is a monad, and you have a clear and concise way to reason about your code and talk to other people.

The second best explanation is that patterns are often a sign of shortcomings in the language. OP gives the example of iterators. Another example is the visitor pattern. Or async/yield as a replacement for explicit state machines.

A thing I'd really like to see in a language would be language level support for the command pattern (being able to capture arbitrary blocks of code, lift the execution to an object, and undo/redo it). Or to be able to include the state of an object in the type system - not like Rust does it with typestates, but to be able to say `Child` is a `Person` where `age < 18`, and if the compiler can't prove that the condition always holds, then it will force you to write the precondition checks or check it at runtime.
The premise is that what you “have” is unique (and thus secure) access to your email.

It bears the same risk of the unique access being lost as having unique access to your finger for finger print scanning, minus the risk of physical injury on compromise.
I can't think of any. But I think the historical lesson is that what I (nay, people much smarter than me) can think of today is insufficient for the greater tomorrow.

The ridiculous historical quotes for computer counts, disk size, RAM were all predicated on people not computing differently. As it turns out, technology progressed, and people began doing entirely new, unexpected things with computing.

Resident of Raleigh, NC. That leak is part of why we own a Chevy Volt. I remember thinking: "I don't want to be beholden to gasoline." But I also remember thinking: "I don't want to be beholden to the electric grid."

> Enbridge has estimated that properly deactivating its aging Line 3 pipeline and taking it out of the ground would cost more than $1.2 billion dollars. The company is currently considering simply abandoning it and paying off the landowners involved, which it says would cost a relatively paltry $85 million, but leave corrosive pipes littered underneath the landscape.

Privatize the profits, socialize the costs. These companies should have been taxed for these costs, with the money going into a fund earmarked for cleanup.

It's also been my experience that non-technical companies sometimes strongly undervalue IT or programming expertise. Few who have a choice ways to take a job at a rate well under market using outdated technologies with an employer who will not value them.

I had one of those jobs for a while. It was awful. The worst part was the ridiculous demands (example: all bugs should be fixable in 30 minutes or less) on top of the embarrassingly low pay.
Fully agree with your statements. Baby steps but we're moving again in the right direction.
This shouldn't be necessary.

Getting the SSH pubkeys of other developers is easy. Grab them from github or from a shared server or ask them once. Then use age/rage to asymmetrically encrypt the secret you want to share. No password has to travel in cleartext anywhere.

Yes, I would think that one of the selling points of a solution such as Plausible is that they can be hosted on the same domain. A huge step in the right direction if you ask me.
OVH actually does a really good job when it comes to DDoS protection. They can take some really big attacks and slow it down just enough so you firewall rules can take care of the rest.

From all the hosting providers I have used, they are the only ones who don't null route you as soon as you get a attacked, and considering the cost of their service OVH is a real life saver when you really need the help.

Just realized this sounds like an advert for OVH, lol I have no affiliation with them whatsoever, just a really happy old customer.
