> I've never understood the need to keep code "up to date" with idioms.

It helps with readability to have everything using the same idioms, and it helps with quality to have everything using the best idioms.

> Most of the time idioms change incrementally

Incremental changes stack up over time.

> the seismic shifts I can think of a) have happened pretty much only once in a language's life,

big changes happen much more often in new ecosystems

> and b) were basically an admission that the original language design was bad and/or insufficient in some way.

Yeah. If I'm considering whether to join a language, I want to know if they have so many unresolved problems that they're still fixing them all the time. Slowness is related to maturity.
The most prominent ads I see on Amazon are for the thing I just bought, that isn't a kind of thing most people buy repeatedly.
Do you really think those outdated weapons can do them any harm? They are just used to show an attitude.
I doubt it's a narcissist and I'm saying that as a narcissist myself.

That fragile ego basically means narcissists are afraid of humiliation. On top that, mentally everything is build around shoring up my ego to compensate for the low self esteem. My ego. Not someone else's ego. I'd have to do some really weird mental gymnastics to be satisfied with copying someone else's work, that would just lower my ego even more. I guess it's doable if I straight up believe I'm that other person? But now we're talking about something really special and uncommon. Not just a narcissist anymore. The narcissistic self deception is involuntary, I can't just say "well, I know I'm copying the work of that person, but now I believe that's me." It doesn't work like that.

The person doing this clearly knew there was considerable risk of getting caught and being exposed. That's someone that doesn't give a fuck about the social consequences.

So you were closer with the malignants, but it's probably just a sociopath (ASPD). A lot more rare in general and more willing to take risks.
Consider that a litter of sharks born in year 100 would be very closely related to a litter sharks born in year 400. Imagine the same pair of sharks mate over that span of time, those siblings are even closer. To me, evolution is a very deep graph of descendants. The scenario you propose is a very wide and shallow graph.

N.B.: I'm a layman on this topic as well.
Best part of Vercel is that it supports web apps with back-ends that can make API calls (it's like "static site+"). It's my goto host these days. Love their framework next.js too.
Let me tell you, you don't want to know what I really think about these people. Put it this way: there is indeed something Epstein, Stallman, Weinstein, and many others have in common that seems to enable them to get away with whatever they want to do for ages before it catches up to them.

At least in the case of RMS he's still a net good for the species, in a utilitarian sense, even with what we know of his misdeeds. I won't defend them, rather, the way I look at it is that there was undoubtedly going to be someone of their ilk harassing women, and at least this one has also done something meaningful to go with it. At this point of civilizational decay, I will take what I can get.
They have been doing it for a while. Mr. Fletcher is quietly hilarious in some of his chats.

> women's reproductive autonomy

...which is currently a constitutional right in the United States, not just a philosophical right.

I think that if/when Republicans are able to insert the government into doctor-patient relationships, into operating rooms, and literally into wombs, it will be the first time the US has gone backwards on a constitutional right.

This is what happens when you give democracy to land instead of people, I guess.
I had a sort of similar incident happen with the youtuber Siraj Raval who was ripping off people's original projects (without attribution) and making videos about them -- and spun a career out of it.

It took many attempts to get him to attribute my project (in accordance with its license) although he was caught repeating this type of behavior later on.

Is there some place STEPS fans can gather and gather our notes? There are archives of the FONC mailing list here [1].

I'm an outsider and also never got Frank to work. I was waiting for the Nile/Gezira thesis to get a high level (but hopefully also some detailed) descriptions) of how they handled graphics. I vaguely remember getting parts of idst working but for each of these projects, there were always multiple versions lying around. Sometimes in odd places.

I read Alex Warth's thesis and it's well written, in a way that makes it very easy to understand. So, of course, I had to implement my own OMeta variant [2].

Also, the VPRI website itself says it's shutting down (presumably folks moved to HARC at that time?).

Edit to add that OMeta is the language agnostic parser and compiler!

You have a very optimistic consideration of the capabilities of HMRC and of their priorities. There is a lot that just flies under the radar, because it’s just not worth anybody’s time to pursue it and it’s hard to impossible to actually identify. Information exchange with other countries is very, very limited, and likely decreased since 2018 as well.

Let’s say I move to Spain and start a business there cash-in-hand. I declare to HMRC that I earn nothing and I reside in UK. I proceed to collect UK subsidies, discounts on council tax, and various other benefits. I might rent out my house as well, either legally or illegally. Would I pop up on any radar? Unlikely. HMRC has no visibility of Spanish transactions and I don’t appear in any UK transaction, as far as they know I’m just a bum. If pressed by Spanish authorities (big if) I can just say I pay taxes in UK - which is “true”. If business in Spain does well enough I might just stop taking UK subsidies, to avoid scrutiny even more. If I never had to file self-assessment before I shipped out, I’m basically off the radar.
Yet looking at energy transfer maps, it seems that a lot of German renewable investment ends up exported elsewhere, so that central and southern germany keeps importing nuclear power from France, and uses lignite from local + imported lignite power from elsewhere.

Anyway, the argument is that instead of panic-closing nuclear power plants requiring more gas and coal plants being run in their place, they could have instead ran them as long as possible while building up the renewables.
I'm going to assume that "Ever Glued" is not a mistake, but a happy little autocorrect accident.
But that is significantly different from the gas station example. The parent said that the gas stations primary income is selling food not gas.

Ikea primary income is selling furniture. It would be much more interesting if they actually made more money selling food than gas.
> And you must be laughably far right to call The Economist left wing. Marine Le Pen would call it a right wing paper.

I'd consider The Economist neoliberal rather than right-wing, as they have a pretty clear editorial bias in favor of free trade and globalization, but also tend to lean left on social issues. That puts the magazine opposite Le Pen on most issues, given her nationalist positions. Trying to lump them together as "right-wing" is incredibly reductionist.

You can go back and read The Economist's opinion of Le Pen if you'd like, and it's distinctly not charitable.

What a terribly written article by someone that heard some words and didn’t understand them, but cranked out an article anyway. Any war “game” conducted at scale will be a named exercise. Anything without a name is just routine training. If the reporter can’t even find that out, then the statement “military about to do classified thing in the near future” is worthless. And even when parts of an exercise are classified, usually the name is unclassified. Exercises with classified names tend to be smaller, narrow in scope, and honestly boring (large force engagements where people travel from all over to participate are way more fun). But yes, the military is about to do a large number of things in the near future, and the president is interested in several of them. That’s normal ops. The exercise is focused on countering Russia or China? Yeah, most of them are.

I can’t say the reporter is wrong, just that this article provides no useful information and is a waste of bandwidth and storage on a server somewhere.
It tells us something about psychiatry as a field. Imagine faking being a programmer or a physicist for 20 years: a trivial Fizz Buzz-like test would reveal the truth for the former, and the failure to reproduce research results—for the latter.

This is not the procedure. There’s numerous types of war games. Some are meant to show leaders how to use new technology. Some are meant to actually stress the force to its breaking point, and then review the exercise to find ways to improve. Still others are meant to display potential force projection for future conflicts.
I'd disagree mildly. I remember that around the time the UK actually left the EU, a newspaper in Dubai (strongly against Brexit) interviewed a group of British expats. Out of the responses, only a quarter were mildly against Brexit while the rest were actively in favor of it. The numbers were even further skewed if I were to incorporate personal conversations.

In general, I've found Brits outside the UK in touristy/retiree expat hotbeds like Spain, Portugal or Dubai to be extremely in favor of Brexit, and mostly racist. Britons in the Isles or in other countries tend to be really friendly and open minded. This could be a reflection of the kind of expats who move to places - older expats might choose sunny places like Spain or Dubai while younger expats might prefer to settle down in the US or Germany, where there are better career opportunities.

Having done tertiary coursework in both the UK and the US, I can tell you that it's much much much more difficult to get an 80 in the UK than a 95 in the US. Even a 70 is hard. A 70 is like an A in the US thirty years ago.
Sure. That's a completely separate issue.

Vietnam can have its own opinion on anything. But it will never, under any circumstances, consider America's opinion to be more important than China's. Trying to bring that situation about is no better than pouring money into a hole. Thinking you can do this means you're very, very bad at your job.

Another reason I love Rust. It’s very statically analyzable.
The reason why you don't see much of fast-neutron "burners" is that NPT is essentially an empty shell, and you have to be lucky to survive putting up so-called plutonium economy - and the "survive" part might be literal. It all goes back to Indian nuclear program, AFAIK, where reprocessing of plutonium from CANDU reactors was used to bootstrap nuclear warhead production. Now that climate crisis pushes for more solutions to power, you get absurd proposals from USA like reactors with remote disable on them controlled from USA.
'Revert back to you' implies giving you an answer and passing control back to you. For instance you could send me something to proof, now I am in control. When I am finished, and if you have subsequent work to do, control may revert to you. If people say this when they appear to mean 'answer' then they are just communicating badly, not using jargon. Stop them and ask them to explain what is being reverted. If you see it in written form then suggest a correction. If the senior people pick up on this stuff it is possible to stop it quickly.
Two questions about the link: operator (2009)
My native language is Spanish. An interesting thing about it is that changing the word order generally does not change the meaning but it changes how it sounds (more prosaic or more poetic). That's not a hard rule, I'm sure you can also find examples where changing the word order changes the meaning.

I also agree with the rest of the comments here, the original Don Quixote is not a good book for learning Spanish, see here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote#Style

Bad idea, Tesla proved that vertical integration results in excellent E-vehicles.

For example, the seats on Tesla’s are amazing compared to OEMs that all outsourced something so fundamental to the driver experience.

If every OEM outsourced to Foxconn, that sounds like a race to the bottom. This worked for android because everyone in the world needs to own a phone, this isn’t true for vehicles.

This is how motorhomes are made to this day. If you buy a gas Class A coach new it is made on a Ford F53 chassis while the body is made by any number companies completely different.

If it’s a diesel it going to most likely be a Frieghtliner, but might be a Spartan chassis. The engine will be Cummins and the transmission Allison.

No, I did not "appeal to authority." I showed you where the Mayo Clinic documented that COVID is not spread by water. You can believe them or not, but they are considered a reliable source of medical information, so, the burden is on you to provide a more reliable source saying otherwise. You telling people to "go back to middle school" does not count as a reliable source.

No.

In a couple of decades, maybe; but still very unlikely (if anything because the EU is now much stricter on criteria for new entrants, and this is only going to increase over time).

I’d say chances are 90% that the UK will never re-join. Uk gov might find some hack to get into a Norway-shaped position, but full membership is gone for good.
Right? If anything that tells me what vendors spend more on ads than on their product; every dollar they spent on this annoyingly pervasive ad campaign was a dollar they took from buyers but didn't put into the products they're selling.
And the corporate-speak stays in use because having all that subtext immediately understood is helpful. For your everyday issues, it’s good teamwork and emotionally intelligent to let past mistakes go, avoid pointing out others’ mistakes, and set a new goal.

> if one is needed at all

Depends. If what we are releasing is a product of engineering (even someone else's), we'll need someone that at least thinks like an engineer in the woodpile.

In my experience, engineering isn't really about balancing binary trees, designing FFT implementations, or writing functional code.

I believe that it's a discipline, and an approach to an organized, end-product-oriented, problem-solving way of working. I've met people that I'd definitely classify as "engineers," that have jobs with no obvious connection to tech, like soldiers, masons, carpenters, and even janitors. I've also met people with advanced technical degrees that can't take an engineering approach to save their lives. Their code and products have been abysmal failures.

As long as I've been in tech, there's been this myth of the "engineer-free" product. The one that is dreamed and executed by Corner-Office executives. A product that jumps straight from their genius, into customers' hands; with none of those messy tecchies fouling the mix.

Maybe, one day, it will become a reality, but I haven't seen anything that even comes close. I believe that the current "dependency-first" development model is not actually a bad one, but it is one that can go horribly, horribly pear-shaped, if done without a disciplined, deliverable-focused, engineering approach.

For myself, I've always enjoyed doing open-source. It gives me a nice track record to which I can refer, and it has forced me to do top-quality code. We always clean the place before we do an open house. If we do it often enough, it becomes habit. I'm currently working on a closed-source app, but that has little to do with IP or security, and more to do with a marketing embargo. I look forward to open-sourcing it in the future. Significant parts of it are already open-source (almost all written by Your Truly). It isn't really meant to be a profit-making app, but it certainly knocks a lot of commercial apps into a cocked hat; and it's only half-done.

Not a guarantee of quality, but it does work for me. I think that Atlassian open-sources all of their stuff. They seem to be doing OK (I am not a huge fan of their stuff, but can't argue with their success).
Your perspective explains why a country with a huge potential such as Brazil is where it is right now.

That disappeared, then they made tentative steps towards bookings with Amazon local. That's not to mention how they already own a significant chunk of the retail side of travel.
Yip they have their hands in all the pies with the exception of bank accounts, though with Amazon gift cards almost treated as currency - they are not far from that already.
