After much fussing around with many kinds of solutions, this too is what I have settled on. Download repo and run `make` will "do the needful" to get you going, and all the major entry points are make stanzas.
The best way to bootstrap language adoption is to get a big tech company to push it. Java (Sun, Oracle, Google Android), C# (Microsoft), JavaScript (all browser vendors, Facebook React), Rust (Mozilla/Microsoft), Swift (Apple), Go (Google).

Most of the popular languages are backed by one or more large tech companies. This gives managers the confidence to adopt them without reservation. It's the old "nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM" line, broadened.
It's part of their brand, I have so many hardcore liberal friends "npr is not biased". They also rarely entertain counter arguments ever, and they take a pc twist to everything.

Few years ago they were pushing that banks were biased against black people (directly and intentional) because they on average had higher interest rates. Completely ignoring the broader societal segregation that causes minority concentration in certain neighborhoods and those neighborhoods on average at the whole end up being lower income higher risk. Obviously there are many problems with the modern "segregated" neighborhoods and why the exist at all but the banks were just using their risk models. They want your money regardless of skin color..

Not that the right is any better, although they don't presume to know as often, I think the biggest issue I have with the left is the lack of internal accountability and productive discourse. I remember 2010-2015, I had many liberal friends that wouldn't here an argument unless it came from a "well respected" academic study. As if there aren't problems with the paper review process or that any ideas outside of high Academia are worthwhile. But I digress...
It's a harder problem when the language is unopinionated. It's easy to bootstrap productivity when everyone is already on the same page about how you write code in this language. Whether it's "OO" or "pythonic", having clear opinions that are baked into the language and shared across the industry means anyone can become productive quickly in a new code base.

The problem that lisp has is that its very expressivity means that most lisp programs are written in their own custom DSL. This is exactly what people love about it but makes knowledge transfer between organizations hard.
Why would people expect such a thing from a personal project?
That discrepancy should be addressed by the original company. If people are willing to pay 500% more they've been leaving money on the table and should increase prices until the dropshippers are again only capturing the value that they're adding.
The webification of Desktop app GUI’s is the result of a total disregard for usability .. from a user’s point-of-view (not a developer’s point-of-view of what users >should< want). Most young devs I speak to stare blankly at me when I enquire about GUI standards and usability best-practices. They are now foreign concepts to a lot of developers.

As a user, I don’t care about the dev’s challenge of supporting multiple OS’s. These best experience comes when I load up a new application and can intuitively navigate it without the mental overload required trying to decipher a GUI layout which doesn’t adhere to any standard.

Web frameworks are great, but have their limitations.

The blame is not so much with the new generations of devs, but with the likes of Microsoft and Apple who have ditched standards and are encouraging the Desktop to turn into the wild-west. Or something like that.
Not to mention how the internet and computers just work, now. I spent countless hours tinkering with settings and drivers and phone lines and Windows 3.1 just to be able to get online sometimes. A dial up modem and dodgy phone lines taught me a lot about how computers work.
Big tech can also support lots of junior developers, because they can scale their teams. They don't need to operate lean, they could have one dev per Class if they wanted, so even if the code base is a big mess, they can just throw more brute force at it by having two, three, four teams, or as many as needed to work on the code base and break it down into smaller services each team can focus on.
At the risk of sounding simplistic: literally doing any strength training. Most people abandon it entirely.

My whole strength training routine recently has been:

* 5-8 chinups, 5-8 pullups

* 15-20 pushups

* 30-50 air squats

* 7-9 dips

* 12-15 rows up on the dip bar

* A plank about a minute long

Takes about seven minutes. Very low risk. Most could learn to do it. I am not as strong as when I did barbells but I’m quite strong and have high muscle mass. The equipment cost about $200, once.

An 18 year old will have an easier time starting that than a 60 year old. But if you start that sometime between ages 20-40, and build the muscle mass and motor skills while young, it is extremely possible to maintain that muscle while older.

The process you’re describing is sarcopenia. Here are the main causes listed in Wikipedia:

> Immobility dramatically increases the rate of muscle loss, even in younger people. Other factors that can increase rate of progression of sarcopenia include decreased nutrient intake, low physical activity, or chronic disease.

Most of these are lifestyle factors. Including chronic disease in many cases, where the disease was a lifestyle disease eg type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, etc

There’s nothing there that says it is impossible to build muscle from a strength training program when older.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcopenia

—————-

As for diet, the biggest one is cooking your own meals with healthy ingredients. Older people didn’t previously get obese in large numbers. It is a more modern phenomenon.

This is probably harder to do than the strength training process I laid out above. Cooking well both takes more time and more money than strength training.

(Cooking well can save money of course but this depends on circumstance)

As this topic is more complex I won’t go into too many specifics, but my own method for making it more efficient has been roughly:

* Batch cooking and seasoning meat, then freezing it

* Cooking enough rice as a side to eat over three meals. So I only cook rice afresh every third meal

* Steaming vegetables in the morning, then eating again in evening

I would not recommend this to everyone, but it has worked very well for me. I’m satiated, can prepare food even when exhausted, and the weight has melted off. And I was already at “last ten pounds” weight.

My parents switched to a similar style of eating in their 50s and weight also melted off for them. So it works for older people.

Aging does make things worse, but people overestimate how many of the changes they observe are due to aging vs lifestyle.
New space race starts today
While I 110% recommend trying to work with a good therapist you like and trust, the problem with some mental illnesses (like depression) is that putting in the hard work is just that: hard... very hard.. and seriously depressed people rarely have the energy and motivation to do the work. In severe cases they struggle to even get out of bed, will miss therapy appointments, not follow through on therapist recommendations, etc.

This is where medication can sometimes break through ingrained bad habits and attitudes, and make looking squarely at and dealing with our problems possible. Psychedelics (when combined with therapy) seem to be very effective at this.. more effective than any other medicines, for some conditions.

It's not a panacea, and it's not guaranteed to help everyone -- nothing is. However, it has helped many people when nothing else has.

Read about the studies on severe, treatment-resistant depression or treatment-resistant PTSD. Many of these people have tried literally dozens of medications and therapies, including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and nothing's worked for them, leading some of them to suicide attempts. One to three therapy sessions with MDMA has moved them to a place where many of them no longer even register as having PTSD or depression.

Though not everyone is helped, the fact that some of these people are is amazing, and that's why MDMA therapy is being approved by the FDA despite MDMA being a schedule 1 drug.
The most I’ll concede is that certs are very useful in identifying job opportunities: if a tech job uses certs to assess a candidate/employee’s skills or value, it’s a good indicator to not take that job.

There’s not huge nuance here.

> For that result to occur, you would need so much poisoned code that it became the dominant piece of the training data.

Hold my beer...
Completely agree with you, hardcore XAML developer and I walked away for React and Tailwind CSS. I will never write another desktop app again.
I would assume it doesn't divert because the user cannot tell from the output of the program if a memset is optimized away. If you want the memset itself to be observable you need to use volatile or memset_s. Else you are not describing your intent properly

If people truly still think C is a macro assembler then that's the problem. Besides if you care deeply about how modern high performance architectures won't cut it anyway.

I wanted to do a mockup of a UI a few moth back. It was moderately complex, I suppose. And I was just trying to find something that would let me build out a shell. I started on Linux and I found most of the UI frameworks to be quite disappointed and a bit involved for what I was wanting to do. I think I was splaying with Glade and then QT creator and realizing just how much boilerplate code I'd have to write to get things to look how I wanted.

I then ran over to Windows, because I recall having done similar things with WPF. I instantly recalled why I hated it though, as doing any custom styling on components is a miserable mess of boilerplate XML and overriding values I have little knowledge of and seem not related or tangentially related to what I was styling.

I was able to create what I wanted relatively easily with a mix of HTML and CSS though. I think something like WPF but with CSS-like styling would be nice.
Agree, but at least use react native or nativescript

> not a general practitioner for a basic health check up

I don't know what op meat by "basic check up". When i injured my knee i was referred to an ortho by my GP who then did a "basic checkup of my knee" to diagnose an mcl tear.

Also op said "basic check up" which you disingenuously changed to "basic health check up" which sounds like a generic health check.
Yup. I worry about that. Happened to one of my relations (whom we were caring for). My primary motivation to preplan. Will keep my kit secret. I don't want to solely trust my relations to honor my wishes. But nothing's certain.

Yes, this is a fair point.

Just worth noting that it's not just JavaScript that makes it web-developer-friendly though, it's also its HTML-like templating system and its CSS-like styling system.
Most likely it does not exist anymore. And, if it does, you never heard of it. Companies run like this do not go far.

> It's like comparing the productivity of Python to C++.

I've written apps in Python and regret it. The pain of packaging to end users, the 20-30 megabytes of OpenBLAS to get NumPy to get vectorized operations on the same order of magnitude as fast as a C++ loop, the dependence on prebuilt wheels and inability to write fast C/C++ code without foisting a dependency on a C++ compiler on your users (unless you have a Windows, Linux, and Mac machine to build wheels yourself), the lack of multithreaded parallelism... From observing a JS audio app being developed, they're also struggling with the inability to write C/C++ code without foisting a dependency on a C++ compiler on your users (unless the developers build native packages themselves), dependence on upstream fixing bugs rather than being able to fix the bugs themselves, and download sizes of over 50 megabytes zipped, plus recurring packaging issues where the native libraries don't run properly on user machines.

That's irrelevant, if copilot is copy+pasting random licenses then it's definitely copy+pasting code as well, I don't see how this could be hard to believe.
I had something similar but not quite at the company I worked previously: about 90% of the developers there were senior, and some had only 1 or 2 years of experience. However there were levels and a level 5 Senior was paid about twice as much as a level 1 Senior. In the end it was more about making everyone "happy".

Google Lens/image Search on an image or screenshot is often pretty good for this. Whether that's reasonable for the average consumer I don't know.
How many excellent developers know Haskell? Python?
N,N-DMT was like being transported into another dimension full of fractal elves and spheres etc. Literally it was the stereotype that you read about anywhere. It was incredibly entertaining and incredibly meaningful.

5-MeO-DMT also included teleporting into another dimension, it’s just that the dimension is a big empty void. It’s in no way bad or unenjoyable, but I found it to lack substance. It’s been a really, really long time since I’ve done any of this stuff and my memory might not be perfect.
Do you have a source for this? I'm extremely curious.
The benefits of web based apps in the majority of cases I would say far outweigh any other issues.

Right now I am working on a side project in Flutter, it is in the very early stages but the ability to target multiple platforms, web, multiple desktop environments, multiple mobile platforms from a fairly singular code base is rather interesting. This makes good commercial sense, in practical thinking speeds up development and release. Yep issues may arise.

I would not hesitate to say that for many users the average users that web based apps, either browser based or electron or whatever are suitable in a lot of cases. There are some cases where this does not make sense currently, like computational (although), video/audio editing, etc. However look at tools like Google Colab where machine learning is being pushed server side because of the power of 3rd party infrastructure.

The web just makes sense in a lot of cases. Ease of development, maintainability, cost, UI, accessibility (availability).
Whoops! twas a typo (2105). An editor has fixed it now.
That's a valid way to look at it if you think of the battery as analogous to the kerosene, rather than the tank. (BTW, lithium-ion batteries don't contain metallic lithium, so the much higher energy density of Li is not in play here.) I was thinking of the species that are created and destroyed within batteries as it's charged and discharged, like lead and lead dioxide, as being more closely analogous to the kerosene.

Algae have very low capital costs but also fairly low photonic efficiency; it's reasonable to expect non-algae-based designs to be superior. (BTW, you can't esterify things into alkanes; alkanes aren't esters.) You're right about the toxicity profiles, although even things like hexane and octane are relatively low toxicity; hexane's oral LD50 is like tens of grams per kilogram, but they have higher toxicities if you breathe or inject them.
I have a medical condition with no cure, yet I still have to pay a doctor every 6 months to keep my prescription with no changes. Total racket.
No it's not. Lobbying in that reported sense is also a very small slice of persuading politicians and regulators and bureaucrats.

PHRMA plays big in politics, 501c4 space etc.

They also are known for the revolving door which is hard to quantify, but surely it makes a big difference on regs. Look at the Purdue, they got the regulator responsible for approving the label to actually sit in a hotel room and help write their oxy label together...

Here's an article shows "in the US from 1999 to 2018, found that the pharmaceutical and health product industry spent $4.7 billion, an average of $233 million per year, on lobbying the US federal government; $414 million on contributions to presidential and congressional electoral candidates, national party committees, and outside spending groups; and $877 million on contributions to state candidates and committees."

This doesn't really suggest a wrong focus.

Pollution was down. Stress was down. People staying at home means cleaner houses. Sharp temperature changes were down... probably, you'd miss the commute big ups and downs but also miss the office climate control. Peoples lives were mostly more controlled, far less variance.

And viruses were down.

> The ensuing months, to everyone’s surprise, turned into “this beautiful year,” Lawson told me. Scarlett hasn’t had a single asthma attack. Not a single visit to the ER. Nothing. She’s breathing so much better,

This doesn't fit with viruses, wouldn't lack of viruses only account for severe ER attacks that happen during a few scattered periods, not the whole year. It will be a mix, but 80:20, it should be one big thing.
retroarch netplay worked very well for me. Hosted a game on one PC, it appeared in the online game browser, joined it from the 2nd PC.

In addition, it's very easy to have your rom inside the retroarch folder, then send the whole folder to another person / computer. That way there is no confusion about rom versions, in addition you can pre-configure the controls if the person you're sending the folder to isn't as tech savy.
Yup, but there's a limit of about a factor of five or six there, since the panels can't be more than 100% efficient.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with using memset. I don't understand why you would suggest such a ban. If your goal is to scrub a memory region after you're completely done using it then you shouldn't use memset.

Compilers won't optimize out memset if it changes the program's behavior within the boundaries of abstract machine's specification.

A call to memset to clear a memory region after you're done with it because a password was stored there can be optimized out because it doesn't change the behavior of the program.

The code you shared is incorrect if your definition of correctness here includes K being wiped out.
does this work for pros?
I agree with your assessment.

“Experience is what lets you recognize a mistake when you’re in the process of making it a second time.”
I agree that there's a lot of form-over-function and bad usability decisions in apps but that's completely separate from the underlying frameworks and distribution technology. You can have great webapps and terrible native apps.

Also when it comes to usability, users prefer having a consistent UI over a "native" UI, especially as the number of devices have exploded between laptops, phones and tablets. Slack looks and works the same everywhere, and that's one of it's advantages.
Even just "what elements on the screen are clickable" would be a huge improvement, not to mention visual feedback that you've clicked/touched such an element. At least loading indicators are back in fashion, the brief period where it was assumed everything would be instant and so they binned visual feedback that the user is awaiting something is over.
Electron apps aren't tied to the internet any more than any other app is.
> The question was about whether the original designer deserves any blame for making a sudden change like that.

I don't believe so - as long as there is a version change and it's documented in the change log, which I aim to do with optimisations I write.

If you're using undocumented apparent behaviour, please check the change log when upgrading, or ask us to document the behaviour. But as already described, we may not be able to guarantee what you want while keeping other things you depend on like performance!
> Tesla's autopilot has a guarantee for its accuracy.

Which (if true) is completely beside my the point. Just pick something that doesn't have a guarantee. The comment wasn't about Tesla. It was about empirical performance vs. written guarantees.

> Normally when this type of situation comes up, the programmers perspective is at least understandable, since what they were doing was somewhat reasonable, even if not allowed by the standard.

Okay great, we agree on that.

> In this case, the point is that I cannot come up with any reasonable program that would rely on an interleaving happening 50% of the time.

That's easily explained by our lack of imagination. No need to assume the person relying on it is being unreasonable.

Hypothetical example: suppose two threads are trying to alternate running some specific instructions with minimal latency. Maybe there are hardware requirements (e.g. they want to avoid overheating come specific components of a CPU core for too long?), so they try to alternate work via an atomically increasing counter? That's a starting point at least, feel free to improve the scenario.
