I agree that C is not going to die soon.

But don't dismiss Go so easily; it hits an interesting sweet spot that may not go away any time soon. It's a simple language with a simple spec, so simple that people are complaining it's too simple a language, yet also simple to use thanks to the GC. But also compiled and fast enough.

But most important of all, it's memory safe and not plagued by undefined behaviour.

Soon (already?) security will mean real money and life or death situation for companies; keeping that much code in a language where nobody can promise a memory corruption will not be introduced in the next commit, is eventually not going to be considered acceptable anymore.

yes, Go is sponsored by a mega corp, yes, and some people cringe at that, but realistically it's less a walled garden than c#, swift or stuff like that.

Rust is likely going to fill the niche currently occupied by C++ but it's quite hard to learn and use.

So yes, it's quite possible that we'll all flock to something new and shiny in 10 years time and forget Go before 20 years have passed. But, whatever replaces Go needs to fill its niche, which if you think about it doesn't have that much free design space left; yes you can improve a few things here and there, but then you have to fight with the massive code base and libraries, that stays relevant due to the absolutely fantastic backward compatibility promises. I've seen C code rot due to compilers getting "better" over time (yes, sure, the C code in question was obviously "wrong", but nobody noticed, because writing correct C code is an exercise in divination)
"most models"???

More solar generates power only when the sun is shining.

This apparatus is for use mainly when the sun is not shining, or when it is not shining enough. Sometimes the sun barely penetrates the clouds, and then you need a boost all day. Maybe it would be cheaper to import power from a dam in Paraguay than to keep your tanks full and cold until you need it. But it might be cheaper to buy power only if they know you don't really need to.

Energy economics are more complicated than we can safely generalize about here. The safe bet is that somebody spending $150M has thought it through.
>In that any one could read a random comment on the internet as anything other than opinion?

Maybe? eg. something like "subprime mortgages caused the 2008 recession" would qualify as a fact. Maybe what the parent poster said was the academic consensus among labor economists, or is at least a serious competing theory among mainstream academics (ie. not something that only a few marxist economists believe).
For NURBS modelling there is OpenNURBS [1], made by the guys who made Rhinoceros 3D, an excellent NURBS 3D modelling program. However, although Rhino is available on Windows and macOS, it is not available on Linux and the authors seem pretty against making a Linux version. OpenNURBS is only available on Windows.

I honestly find the thing pretty confusing myself.

However the fact that it’s confusing doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. Cuban has rightfully said UX in the space is beyond awful - some of it is virtually unusable without deep instruction.

My assumption there would be that you lock that bitcoin away. And you get 150% of the value of the BTC in another coin - DAI or whatever.

So you might have had 1000 usd in BTC but by the end you have 1500usd in DAI ? Dunno
Recently I watched the film "thank you for smoking" and there's a sign I saw hanging in the background of a scene and it said "be thankful for your government, it's the best that money can buy" and I just thought that was absolutely perfect
It's not fully ironic but somewhat works great. Previously US-based centerized service should just ban such users even though they are non US-based, but now they can live their local instances.
I'm with you, and we don't have to look very far to find other cases where the "not addictive" promise turned out to be a false one.
Oh, really? And I suppose it over privacy concerns? Context, please.

Thanks for the links! I especially like the Mona Lisa example. I'll probably steal that the next time this topic comes up.
I’ve slowly come to realise that:

1. There’s a large latent pool of talent that can only do part time/flexible jobs but aren’t even looking because so few are available.

2. The total economic loss from such jobs being rarely offered is massive.

Consider women who stop working for a year or two due to having a child or children. Many are only able to return part time at first. There’s so few part time jobs in software that many choose not to return to the industry. By the time they can return full time they feel so out of touch, from just a few years away, that they never return at all.

Same happens with people who are injured, temporarily disabled etc. The demand of full time only (and often more hours on top again) means that the industry misses out on retaining a lot of skilled talent.

And yes chronic conditions and disabilities are also very disadvantaged by the requirement of full-time only work.

But as cool as the name sidequest is - I don’t think it’s quite right. Because for most people of the scenarios listed above this would not be a sidequest but a main quest.

Awesome work though. And good luck!
This is absolutely not true for everyone. I took oxycodone for three years without ever getting addicted, and it never stopped working. Thankfully, eventually enough surgeries and physical therapy finally worked to where I don't really need pharmaceutical pain management beyond normal OTC stuff, but for a while, there was no way I could have handled life without a whole lot of schedule II help, and I'm glad as hell this was before the addiction problem really took off in these economically depressed places among people who are jobless with terrible lives and no prospects and everyone blaming the drugs, so my doctors were never pressured into not prescribing them for people they clearly worked for.
A Russian High-Resistance Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST) technique: https://youtu.be/yPAYTeoWsiI (unfortunately, only narrated in Russian). IMST is weird at first, typically you synchronise exhalation with the greatest strain but it’s reversed in IMST. And rapid inhaling really means rapid in an IMST exercise.

There are lessons to be learned from this fiasco, but I doubt the country will collectively heed them.

History trivia: you might think that sending a bunch of deliveries is a modern thing, made possible by the telephone. But no, if you were sufficiently dedicated you could do it back when you had to send letters to order stuff.

In 1809 this [1] happened in London:

> On 27 November, at five o'clock in the morning, a sweep arrived to sweep the chimneys of Mrs Tottenham's house. The maid who answered the door informed him that no sweep had been requested, and that his services were not required. A few moments later another sweep presented himself, then another, and another; twelve in all. After the last of the sweeps had been sent away, a fleet of carts carrying large deliveries of coal began to arrive, followed by a series of cakemakers delivering large wedding cakes, then doctors, lawyers, vicars and priests summoned to minister to someone in the house they had been told was dying. Fishmongers, shoemakers and over a dozen pianos were among the next to appear, along with "six stout men bearing an organ". Dignitaries, including the Governor of the Bank of England, the Duke of York, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Mayor of London, also arrived. The narrow streets soon became severely congested with tradesmen and onlookers. Deliveries and visits continued until the early evening, bringing a large part of London to a standstill.

The person behind that wrote thousands of letters to set that up.

The problem that I see with your approach is that you are heavily biasing the collected samples towards "successful" flows.

If you have two funnels A and B and users using path A convert slightly more than users using path B, but path A is way more hidden. If you end up only showing the collect prompt after the conversion, you will get a lot of data about path B, and some about path A. It's really hard to tell the efficiency of each path, you now that. more people come from path B, but you don't one which one is best.

I hate cookie banner, but from a data collector perspective, since they are the first thing people interact with, you are argue that they minimize sampling bias. You approach adds a significant one, which makes all the number you can get from it hard to trust.
That's against CPI inflation.

I don't believe that phone based tracking is nearly as easy as people make it out to be. Just because the data exists, doesn't mean it is easy to process. Someone would have to spend tens of hours at least digging through data and unless its a serious crime, its just not worth it.
My understanding is that this explicitly creates an exception from one of the EU privacy laws (not sure if GDPR or something else) so that providers can scan your content.

While this doesn't seem to oblige providers to scan your content, that is expected to come in a next step.
If your db is already replicated (cockroachdb, tidb, foundation,etc) running it in k8s is a breeze and can be considerably cheaper and more reliable than managed stuff
This is a fairly standard derailment tactic in the Indian right wing ecosystem.

Begin the story be expressing deep familiarity with a situation they barely understand. Pretend to be neutral in the first half. Move on to attack a phantom target in the next half. These are variously Maoists, muslims, "rich" farmers, Sikhs, greta thunberg, forced religious conversions etc.

In this particular case pretend that the fabricated evidence linking social workers to Maoists is real and bury the lede in final sentence.

Non manufacturing blue collar trades are still quite profitable.
For me, I choose ibuprofen more often than paracetamol because 1) paracetamol carries a fairly serious overdose risk and is one of the common drugs people accidentally kill themselves with, and 2) paracetamol is not a true anti-inflammatory and doesn't help nearly as much with arthritis. Ibuprofen doesn't just relieve pain but actively reduces inflammation.
Sorry, I am not defending 4chan posters at all. I am just saying that “anon” isn’t just some random 4chan posters all the time anymore.

Looking further into the sequence of events, it might as well have been just 4chan being 4chan, but like someone else said, it seems that they played themselves here. There are posters on /g/ who legitimate wanted this tool to remain usable without tracking analytics.
I'm not claiming Discord is the most privacy-focused messenger out there by any means. That's what you seem to be arguing. I'm arguing that they have no particular aversion to user privacy (i.e. they are not particularly "privacy averse"). Literally nothing you've said constitutes a counterargument against that.

Again, if you want to revise your claim to say that they're not particularly privacy-focused, then, sure, I agree with that. But, to argue that they're privacy averse (meaning they hate user privacy and don't want anybody to have it), I don't see it, and it's not been proven here.

Pro tip: try arguing the point you're actually trying to make.
You're right, of course. What we're really talking about is the fallibility of estimations (and arbitraging between them) - you can't raise your score as projected by an omniscient computing power, but you can as estimated by real engines limited by their fallibility (and AlphaZero is less fallible.)

Mostly I'm pointing out that these estimations represent the best guess of an ultimately limited engine. People tend to treat those engine evaluations as actual numbers, like scores in a sport like baseball or some such, but they're not.
It's not just breathing, there is active resistance from the device. Big difference.

Not sure if you got what he said.

It’s better because instead of transfer wise controlling the money from point A to point B and taking a percentage as a fee (0.1% or whatever) you have 10 000 people who build a liquidity pool where the money gets transferred from point A to B. All those 10 000 people share the 0.1% fee. Maybe less, in an extremely competitive space.

Basically all the centralisation, the app takes a fee bullshit goes away, and instead you get 10 000 or 100k or 1mil people all sharing their money and receiving part of the fee.

The dev can also write into the smart contract that he gets paid a percentage as well. Boom, you have a transferwise competitor with 100 mil in liquidity within days with 0 server costs. You can do this right now with a few days/weeks work on a decentralised application. You don’t think that’s big? Any app that “takes a cut” in exchange for having written a few thousand lines of code and maintaining server infrastructure will be challenged by decentralised alternatives.
First Hydro is already effectively long term storage. It’s fixed across a year, but releasing 5x as much as normal is fine as long as releases are scaled back to account for the discharge.

Next solar and wind don’t correlate and solar output never hits zero on cloudy days. So, excess capacity always directly reduces the need for storage. Working out the ideal amount of excess capacity isn’t trivial, but unless storage costs tank dramatically something like 85+% on worst case days is likely viable. Which could then easily be covered by hydro.
I don't understand this allergy towards debt. Oh no, people had the option to take out a loan to access capital they wanted to invest in themselves. If only we could be like the Europeans instead and waste public money to fund whatever stupid whimsy someone fancied rather than make them responsible for the productivity of their choice.

Speaking from experience, the hardest part about game development isn’t figuring out how to (efficiently) build something, it’s deciding what to build in the first place. The second hardest problem is getting everyone on board with the answer to that. The third is figuring out how to build the content 1000x to support that. Way, way down the list is the runtime performance for a gameplay system.

True ECS systems - and not frameworks that just have things called “entities” which own things called “components” - are hard to work with, almost by definition (ie you have to be very explicit about data layout and dependencies). They add a lot of friction upfront to solving the important and hard problem(s) while purporting to solve something that isn’t actually an issue in most cases (guess what, your N is likely < 10, modern cpus go brrr, etc). If you are working in a domain where you already know something about the performance and input size characteristics - particle systems are the go to example - then maybe ECS makes sense as a framework. Otherwise, I’d advocate for simpler oop approaches with heavy composition.
Heroic Public Speaking (https://heroicpublicspeaking.com/) is the best one in the industry. I worked with them for 6 months to develop a 45 minute keynote.

I now do paid speaking engagements on delivering features quickly without breaking everything because of the training I received from this program.

4chan mostly is an interesting place because of how extremely toxic everyone is to each other but how little their insults mean to you because everyone is anon. The problem is when they start targeting real individuals and posting their personal info. It goes from jokes to real harm very quickly.

But I'm not sure its really any worse than mainstream social media. Witch hunts start on all of the large platforms. WhatsApp and Facebook are responsible for countless literal witch hunts where the accused were killed or brutally beaten. 4chan seems tame in comparison.
Sure but note they didn’t get more than 10 hours of storage from this system. It’s designed to have close to zero long term storage like every single grid backup system currently in production. Something like 20% reserve capacity is completely rational, but you get there by having redundant daily storage so having one or more of them going online doesn’t break the grid.
The article is specifically talking about grad school.

This isn’t an issue of blue collar tradespeople seeking college degrees.

It’s an issue of people who are already college graduates seeking further education beyond their degrees.

In a healthy society, most people will have a secondary education and a significant minority will have a college level degree.

But if a graduate degree is necessary to find a job, or be an informed citizen, then there are serious problems.

I think part of the issue is the “professionalization” of HR.
Because it could become a serious issue once the gov starts challenging the big co at something. You most certainly don't want a situation where the government depends on the company it is fighting.

I think by making your comment you just committed the very error you think you're critiquing -- claiming that something common to humanity is a special attribute of Americans.

The more general truth is that: it is very human to have a myth about several attributes which are supposedly unique to your culture and less applicable to a shallow stereotype of the other countries your culture leads you to be most faniliar with. For the Chinese, the Japanese, Koreans, and Americans. For the Thais, the Laoatians and Americans. Etc. on and on. With these pairings there is always an accompanying list of the things that make US not be THEM, regardless of whether or not they're factual.

Why is the laplacian so ubiquitous? Well, locally any reasonable PDE is well approximated by a linear one. And linear PDEs are of the form Lu = f for a linear differentiable operator L. But why does the particular case of L = laplacian show up so often in physics? Galilean invariance says that the laws of physics should be invariant under translation and rotation. Checking this against Lu = f, you can verify that one requires that L commute with translations and rotations. That is L(u_h) = (Lu)_h, where u_h(x) = u(x+h), and similarly for rotations. What you can show (pretty easily on the Fourier side) is that every linear differential operator with these properties is a polynomial in the Laplacian.
