I live across the street from a homeless camp in California in a house I dont deserve, my parents are amazing people and had no retirement plan and I have no idea whats going on or what Im going to do when Im too old to work and get fired from whatever bs tech company Im working for when Im 35 and Im just realizing it. Its 1:30 in the morning and my babys gonna wake me up in four hours. America is insane.
I'm one of those (many) people that don't believe in that 12B figure. It is only based on "we used to pay X for this route in the old model, and now we pay Y", but that's two different things to compare and ignores lots of new costs as well. All the offers were also based on traffic growth, meaning subsidies for the tickets in 7-8 years would go down. This would have happened irregardless of the bids (except the contractors have budgeted with it and now carries the risk).

And before when it was the government paying the government owned NSB, it was basically the government giving themselves money. Now whatever profit the new companies make are instead going out of the country. Government takes the cost, others take the profit.

So unless this happens to result in a much better experience for the customers I think it will be a net loss for society. But time will tell, hard to say too much based on the last year.
Indeed. IRC is closed federation and the server admins are in a great position of power. In an open federation like email or matrix, the power of server admins is much smaller, and this kind of takeover wouldn't happen. Or if it did happen, it would be less of a problem.
RISC-V is amazing as what it is, but it isn't a competitor for high-end performance. It's simply not designed for that.
> Exactly, there is an ideology of pushing this kind of issue completely into "personal responsibility" territory which, for me, is frankly a total lack of empathy.

The problem is you are misunderstanding American politics. The average well educated American understands that the European and Scandanavian models work better than the American system for all Americans. The misunderstanding is the idea that the average American WANTS a better life for ALL Americans. They do not.

The median American wants a better life for the median American. And most educated Americans want better lives for all Americans. But a significant minority of the population wants a WORSE life for the black population. Full stop.

Whenever you read a discussion on some controversial aspect of American politics, that appears to be worse for the population yet strangely controversial to fix, just ask yourself: does this policy disproportionately hurt black people? The people who are currently arguing for the status quo may no longer be racist, just profiteering. But this is the question to ask to determine why the system was put in place the way it was. Remember, if the policy disproportionately hurts poor people, that means it also disproportionately hurts black people.

Attitudes are changing, and hopefully this won't be as large of an issue in the future. But it was only 40 years ago that the FBI's primary political directive was the disenfranchisement of African American organizations, and America's most recent president was a white supremacist. The current most popular TV news journalist in America right now, is Tucker Carlson, who is an active white supremacist.

The current American system adopts enough welfare and social security that if you are white, statistically, social security + your career will probably be enough to ensure that you do not starve in retirement. And it promotes a lack of financial retirement savings such that if you are not white, and therefore statistically have a worse paying career in a more difficult financial environment, you are likely to have a troubled and difficult retirement. This is by design.
I don't think my comments have anything to do with you wanting to do Elixir, please go ahead with that sir, I don't know you and don't care honestly. I think it's not the greatest decision career-wise but as I said if you're a top 10% developer you'll do fine no matter what tech you choose. If you're not you are most likely to regret it eventually. Elixir is actually a great place for superstars now since it's so small; you can much more easily make a name for yourself there than with php/go/ruby. But for your average web developer Elixir brings very little value.
As for insecurity - Elixir as a community started to count page views(!) on ElixirForum to show how the community is thriving. Any other metric - Tiobe index, Stackoverflow, Redmonk, amount of jobs, they're all ignored or gaslighted. So who is insecure?
Us Rubyists already took the blowback hit, we know we aren't cool anymore. Elixir is facing that now and in the coming years.
And again, if I wouldn't have read countless posts about how Elixir is superior to Ruby (always to Ruby, not to other stacks), though the 2 languages don't have much in common at all, I wouldn't have had such an axe to grind, but I got sick of it.

Since you've done the research, I hope you don't mind me asking (I have little to none formal knowledge in optics).

I am trying to build a homemade projector, I was looking for what I think is a 'broadband' (visible light) 'non-polarizing' 50:50 beamsplitter but all the beamsplitters I found are quite expensive. Is there a 'lower quality' hobbyist-grade product range of beamsplitters that you could point me to? (Brands or distributors is also fine)
re invoking other tools:

I built this years ago (if i'd do it again, I'd implement it with LSM, but was coming from a lab with lots of stackable fs experience, so my thought process went there), used exec() to transition rule sets.

>but since microarchitecture is in large parts dictated by ISA

Well, Apple uses the ARM ISA for their A and M series chips, and but not ARM's microarchitecture, and their chips have significantly higher IPC than comparable parts from Qualcomm or Samsung. Similarly, Intel and AMD both implement the same x86 ISA, but the performance advantage has swung repeatedly between the two. Microarchitecture might be "in large parts" dictated by the ISA, but there's still enough left over for hardware designers to have a significant influence on the overall performance.
I partly agree. There's a skill and a moral quality internal to moderation, which means that good moderators will exclude the content they judge the community doesn't want without letting this judgement be swayed by their personal agenda. But bad moderation, where the moderator lacks the skill or the quality to do this, is very much a thing.

I completely agree, Northern trains are a disgrace.

I don't think it was a failure of private companies though, rather Network Rail failing to deliver. The government has speced electrification for decades like you say. The cost of eletricifcation has gone through the roof, mainly due to health and safety (good thing). We have also lost a lot of expertise in electrification, much like how we lost the skill to tunnel.
I agree. Containers in the core are really two things, the latter is optional: unshare and cgroups.

I’m not even sure about index funds. If you put money in at the bottom of the market last March, that money has almost doubled while we are still in the middle of a pandemic.

I put some money into my vanguard Roth IRA and I can not pay almost double for an index fund this year than what I paid last year.

Oops, you're right -- they updated compiler support! Good news.
The seperation of track ownership and operation from actually running the trains is mandated by EU directives, so that part is going to be the same pretty much anywhere in the EU. I think some countries like Germany bend the rules a bit by having them run by nominally independent divisions of the same state-owned company (and sometimes go father than is allowed and end up on the losing end of court battles), but the UK is probably going beyond what it could do as a member of the EU here.
In recommending Fastmail

> Less opinionated of course, but you get more work done.

It seems like a harsh take to me. Putting aside the philosophy of work as a virtue, I have also had Fastmail for many years and it's not much different than Gmail or Yahoo or any other service I've had. What I like about Hey.com is that I feel supported in my decision to just fucking block things I didn't ask for, or don't remember asking for, or just don't want anymore. It invites me to block them.

but that's just me
We also have comedians making jokes about horrible things, allegedly in the spirit of laughing about the horrific as a way of processing it. Laughter in adult humans is certainly very complex.

As others pointed out, the work done to build and support the actual machine has led to a lot of positive contributions back to society.

However you asked for discoveries, so I imagine you were thinking of the stuff the LHC has been searching for.

And I think in that regard it's safe to say no. And from what I understand, there's not a huge expectation for that to happen. The reason being that the LHC is a high-energy particle physics search, while almost everything we make or use is made of condensed matter[1] and low-energy particles, an area where we know pretty good how individual particles behave.

In the condensed matter field though, where many-body particle interactions dominate, there's a lot of interesting work that might have applications. As an example, a relatively recent discovery is superconductivity in twisted graphene layers[2].

I still think LHC and similar should be built. After all, a lot of good comes out of the technology required to build and operate them, and there is a chance we'll learn something with significant impact.

Genuinely curious, why is "the mess they caused" a primary reason to leave the service? It feels like "even if the service was wonderful you'd still consider leaving because of <the mess>". What exactly makes you feel like that? (to clarify, it's not entirely clear to me what did DHH do wrong [+], let alone "so wrong that one would want to avoid Basecamp like the plague").

I also tend to compose queries out of smaller static parts dynamically, and tagged syntax does seem to make that hard.

Patterns like:

let params = {};
let conds = ['TRUE']
if (some_user_input) {
conds.push('a = $test');
params.test = some_user_input;
}

db.query(`
SELECT cols, ... FROM xxx
WHERE abc AND ${conds.join(' AND ')}
`, params);

Not having a way to compose tagged literals and not having named parameters, only $1 just made it hard to port any of my existing projects based on pg-promise to your library.

I use named parameters, so I don't do parameter counting. Connector does that for me, when rewriting the parameters to native postgresql syntax.
Track is what defines the railway, maximum speed, 85% of maintenance cost, etc.

It becomes a campaign issue (or does if it is an issue), which is what I mean is 'strictly better'. Not great, probably, but not worse in any other way that I can think of, and that is a positive (to whatever extent).
Is it not a “fact”? If they say that the video breaks their rules on abusing content, it goes away from opinion and more into fact.

Facebook deliberately created a set of rules/measures to determine abusive content, specifically such that they couldn’t be accused of being arbitrary, or opinion-driven. So their rules specifically ensure that their determinations are fact-based not opinion-based. If they determine that content has broken their rules on “abusive content” it seems pretty fact-based.

So labeling content as having broken their rules on abusive content is literally making a fact claim.
Precision Medicine and Alzheimer’s Disease: Successful Proof-of-Concept Trial
Well, if what makes a mid to senior front-end engineer is "extensive experience in react and its ecosystem" and you "don't have a history of working on mid to large scale react projects", then the only way to get that dream job is to gain more React experience. One or two more years spent freelancing on carefully chosen projects should be enough.

But the wind is turning: if you can, splitting your efforts 50/50 between React and Vue projects would probably be a good idea.
I really enjoyed godot. Once I "got" some of the concepts, I became very fast in creating elements and changing them. And I used GDScript.

When I built the first prototype[0] I also used the opportunity to try out godot. I like it a lot. It's main concept (scene <==> node) felt really elegant.

Some other engines might have better features. But One Way Dungeon is a 2D game with no real-time gameplay or physics or networking... So ease of use is more important than high-end capabilities.

If privatisation of essential services is a crime (it’s not, but it should be), privatising the subsidies and directing them to private companies is much worse.

If one has a basic right to healthcare, education, and freedom of movement, then all those things should be provided by the state.
(Maybe) not in particular related to Hey.com, but I'm worried about the amount of people (apparently 50%) who left Basecamp, and how that will reflect on the future development of their services (Basecamp, Hey) but also on Ruby on Rails and the surrounding ecosystem (like Stimulus, Turbo etc). I'm one of those (rare?) folks who still think Rails is a fantastic framework and it suits most of my private projects just fine (I haven't felt the need for a SPA approach in my last 2 years) - but I'm now hesitant to start anything new on Rails because I don't know who will pick up maintenance of Stimulus, Turbo and multiple Rails gems.
My understanding is that this PR session is basically the announcement of the deal. True, it would be nice to know how long they've had a deal, but IMHO it's more interesting to know for how long the team has been working on the new design, and when it's slated to launch.
Great personal mantra, terrible preventive policy.
I think the refusal of service is less problematic than the attack where they keep mining empty blocks without including any transactions. The refusal of service will only extend the block time which will be resolved in the next difficulty re-adjustment. It also requires significant percentage of the miners to agree to co-operate.

With the empty blocks attack, they prevent difficulty re-adjustment and also get rewarded with new btc unlike the refusal of service where they'll just be wasting their electricity without any rewards and the small miners will be able to produce blocks albeit in a much longer time than ~10 minutes.
At the risk of sounding butthurt, it's kind of strange and unfair to claim that "boomers are the entitled generation." They merely happen to have been born at a time when the social and economic situation for future generation changed due to changes in ecology, world economy, and in this case the demographic of industrialized countries.

By the way, the changes have been going on for much longer. When I was young we were called "Generation X" and newspapers told us that we were going to be the first generation much poorer than their parents, with "patchwork CVs" and a "decline of traditional work opportunities." Overall, these predictions turned out to be true. So I guess we could call our parents the "entitled generation." After all, the Club of Rome warned in 1972 that economic growth was not sustainable but the warnings did not lead to major changes of the socio-economic systems, although many smaller positive changes were made.
The best solution I've seen personally is my keyboard has a foot pedal, that when held changes some of the normal keys into a numpad. It's a kind of a mode switch. So no need to stretch extra distance or anything.

>However, missing from this news report is any mention of making the cost of rail travel more affordable for the public.

I thought that omission was glaring also. #1 concern of the public is price and they pretend it doesn't exist.

It's a strong signal that prices will increase YOY above inflation.
I'm not disagreeing with either of your paragraphs, they're both correct... but the thing to note is that, to some degree, they argue in opposite directions.

That's because a consequence of the second paragraph is that it's potentially business-profitable to make a "custom uarch" even if you make no use of the enormous scope for design changes.

> The problem (atleast in slovenia) is, that you don't get back the amount that you paid in. Eg. you work 40 years, and expect 20 years on pensions (made up numbers, just an example).

I don't know you but I never, ever, had the impression I'd get what I paid into any social security system. Neither here in Sweden or even less in Brazil. My salary is just too high compared to the median so I never had the thought that everything I paid into I'd get back as benefits.

And to me, that's ok. I earn quite above the average, I don't mind that I can help fund some part of society with my work if this society is functional and well managed, so in Sweden I'm perfectly fine with this arrangement. In Brazil it was the complete opposite, even though I don't care about paying taxes, I do care about taxes always being stolen by a multitude of corrupt actors in Brazil.
What does this mean from the software support point of view? Do we need a new target architecture in compilers?
I would've never guessed Brazil (or any country for that matter) would be like that. I guess I can see why if medics depend on that for their income, but I certainly would've never guessed they would act so aggressive about it. It seems like there should be some other way for them to make enough money. There should be somebody who's specialty is optometry. Do you have specialists for other things like a heart doctor, or cancer doctor?
