They are dynamically creating a named tuple class (or prototype). The namedtuple implementation in the python standard library indeed accepts a space separated list of field names. Once it's been defined (as above) then you can create instances (records) like "Point(2,3)"

Ah, yeah, should have mentioned that. Attachments in messages go into OneDrive, MS Forms is used to post a Poll/Quiz, Click on people's names, and you can see org hierarchy from AD, Meetings from Outlook/Exchange are tied to Teams, and so on.
Yes, but these features are usually optional. Library users can easily forget to use them and neither library authors nor the compiler can do anything to enforce it.

The brilliant thing about RAAI style resource management is that library authors can define what happens at the end of an object's lifetime and the Rust compiler enforces the use of lifetimes.
Normally it wouldn't have network access, but that's an excellent point—generalized, once programs can start having physical-world effects that loop around to affect the computer they're running on, you can no longer make such adamantium-clad guarantees. And, as Rowhammer and various passive-emission attacks show, it's not uncommon in practice for the ordinary execution of the program to have such effects.

Still, this kind of thing isn't always applicable. If the seL4 kernel in question is on orbit, or running on a computer at an unknown location, or in a submarine, or in a drone in flight, the assassin can't in practice sit down at the console. And if it's running on something like the Secure Enclave chip in an iPhone, or a permissive action link, physical access may be impractically difficult regardless of who you kill.

Even in the USA with it's massive sprawl, most (80%+) of the population is urbanized [0].

The ideal mobility framework is one of interconnected small towns/cities (ideally via rail) with non-vehicle traffic for intra town movements.

People that live out in a farm can drive in (although to be honest even distances of 10 miles can be very conveniently travelled in an ebike).

There's four things that prevent this sort of network from taking hold:

1. At least in the US, the inter-town rail networks have been disbanded or neuterd to a useless extent.

2. No investment for inter-town bus service. You can get to the big city by bus, but not between towns.

3. In most of the small towns in the USA, "main" street is actually a state highway routinely seeing traffic speeds of 50+mph. In other words, the town is divided right down the middle by a highway, with most commerce clustered around this area. This means that even for intra-small-town traffic biking (and sometimes even walking due to a lack of sidewalks!) is dangerous.

Not surprising. Their catalog is thin and mediocre, and they add new content at a slow drip. Their interface is torture. I would drop them if it weren’t for family pressure.

More whining from me: the way they present movies insults the films. They begin on their own, and the closing credits are mashed up with advertisements for other content.
Yeah - that’s largely been my experience as well, and I agree.
You keep describing a job as 'economic servitude'.

Do you think the waiter is then exploiting the farmer when the waiter uses that money they got waiting tables to buy food for themselves? The farmer is 'growing food for someone else who has enough money to pay for it'

If you find this economic servitude, then you basically are saying that anyone who participates in the economy is being exploited.

I guess in a sense we are all servants to our need for food and shelter, and the fact that we need to do things that we might not want to do in order to cloth and shelter ourselves. Not sure why obtaining food and shelter by trading your labor for goods is somehow a worse situation that having to grow and make all your own food and build and maintain your own house.

Ok yeah that's technically true, but there's always going to be a balance point. You can't expect graphics programmers to write a separate renderer for each possible hardware target. That kind of works in the console space, but in the PC space you have to account for a wide variety of hardware.

There's always going to be a balance point, and Vulkan's priority is much more about getting as low-level as possible within the constraints than it is about being approachable for developers.
Firstly there's 3 versions of skype backend: original p2p, microsoft's intercept all your calls, and Lync.

Then they renamed Lync to be Skype for Business, and now had to try to make those 2 systems work together.

Then Windows 8 comes along and they rewrite the client in Metro, but it doesn't do everything, so the Win32 client still exists.

Also recall that MS had MSNMessenger, so guns all pointing at each other.

Then they got social network jealousy, so tried to do something with Skype, then gave up.

I've still no idea if skype can call Lync/SfB/Teams or not.

I assume at some point they didn't bother making Android/iOS apps because they wanted WinPhone to be a thing.
Could this be used to host Drupal and WordPress sites?
Well yeah. But that's America's culture.

So lets take a step back. There's two sides to this encounter. It is common for Americans, when they feel like they're in danger, to approach situations with a gun drawn.

Police, knowing that other Americans will approach them with guns drawn (since criminals see Police as a threat), will also approach with guns drawn.

And guess what? The gun advocate will point out that everyone acted as an adult in this situation. No gunfire was exchanged. The heart attack was unfortunate, but this is actually one of the better situations.

Compare / Contrast instead with say: Breonna Taylor. The Police begin to knock down the door, someone gets confused and shoots at them. The Police shoot back killing Breonna Taylor.

--------

You can't deny that the job that Police do and put themselves in means that Police are expected to get shot at. Changing this expectation will require more than just changing how Police operate, it also means changing America's culture to not have so many freaking guns.
> I'm not asking you either embrace or defend these extreme, incorrect positions

Are there multiple incorrect positions to defend?

What I've said is that you can't assume someone who is an "extreme free-market supporter" (what even is this? Maybe they mean even average free market supporters. Idk.) doesn't believe in climate change. More likely, at least based on my own experience and the literature I've read from serious "extreme" free-market thinkers is that they think the market is in a better position than the government to solve the problem.

Again I personally disagree, but I don't think that they necessarily hold incorrect, immoral, or irrational views either.

Also, CCS wanted to reuse some of the pins from the L1/L2 J1772 plug, but the original plug didn’t have room for larger pins. Tesla’s plug was designed from the beginning to be eventually capable of fast charging.
Yes that's one of the many caveats. I myself have zero time for side projects due to family etc. so I am fully sympathetic.

And side projects are side projects. I was fascinated by a candidate's beer brewing project (there are some very relatable skills in management and organisation, supply chain dependencies, etc) as one example of a non-tech side project.

And how is your custom format going to avoid copying?

If you use the standard open()/[read()|write()]/close() then every read() or write() is a copy operation. Either copying from memory out to storage, or copying from storage into memory.

If you instead mmap() the data then the copying is just hidden behind the VM page swapping routines in the kernel. But ultimately there will be a copy from storage into memory or a copy from memory into storage.

And, have you bench-marked using Sqlite (in the simple form presented in the web page linked to above) to know whether the copying is an issue? If you have not bench-marked it, then you are just going on assumptions, and assumptions often have a very high probability of being wrong.

It's almost all economies of scale and "rich get richer" type effects, much like the big social networks. You make something that catches on (in Slack's case it really did have an edge on the existing stuff) and from then on you've got your loyal user base for whom it would be too much of a project to move to another thing.

Slack is a great product, but at the end of the day it's a mildly more convenient way of doing stuff that you could do in 2002 with IRC and email. And Mattermost is a pretty good FOSS substitute.

(This isn't counting audio and video calls, but those have been pretty good since around the time of Google Hangouts, long before Slack had audio/video.)
No, we're not engineers. If anything, the prevalence of that term has taken away the truth of what we do. There is a lot of logic and analysis in our work, and it does require an understanding of how some systems work, but ultimately we are artisans, not engineers, and it would be better if our titles expressed as much.

"Software Artisan" sounds cheesy, but I never minded the good old "Software Developer" title.

Don't delete your comment about pennies, instead, pivot to nickels. Nickels, which have much higher volume than pennies anyways, are 75% copper and 25% nickel. They're worth slightly more than 5 cents - currently, about 5.8 cents, sometimes more, sometimes less - melted down.

Do know that the Mint is aware that 5.8 is greater than 5, that melting nickels for profit is a crime with a $10k fine, and that you'll probably spend more than that profit margin on energy and equipment for melting. Interestingly, one of their reasons for rejecting alternatives like plated steel coins is that any significant change to the density, dimension, or magnetism will break anti-counterfeiting systems.

There's only so much time in life, but if you want something cool for your shelf, have some rolls of nickels, a few fire bricks, a crucible, some casting sand, and a propane burner you can make yourself an awesome, polished, high-density casting from DIY Monel K400 alloy for less than you can buy that stock from metal suppliers. Just don't sell it for profit and you'll be fine.

Theanine has been shown to have a noticeable relaxation without sedative effect, and a minor decrease in anxiety, within minutes of ingestion.

Yes, there are problems with all studies, and it sure is fun to pile on, but a cursory search of examine.com confirms my own experience and that of amateur noot-ers: Theanine takes the edge off caffeine and helps focus. Caffeine+Theanine is the third highest recommended home treatment for focus (behind exercise and sleep) on r/nootropics for whatever that's worth.

You can find other studies here: https://examine.com/supplements/theanine/

I take it semi-regularly during times I'm over-consuming caffeine, but find that I come to resent its absence when I stop taking it.

I do a fair amount of helping interview senior positions at my current company. At the risk of saying something obvious: when interviewing senior people, the goal is to figure out whether they will do well operating at a senior level. Senior engineers usually bring two things to a team: a broader and deeper technical knowledge, and the ability to help influence and structure larger projects (doing larger scale designs, reviewing designs and code from other engineers, helping mentor more junior engineers, things like that). Side projects can sometimes help inform someone's technical abilities, but it's rare for people to have a side project where they are doing a lot of the "influencing others" part of the job.

But, yeah, if you put in the work, it shouldn't hurt to list your side projects. But also, keep them in perspective: don't bring them up simply because they would be "interesting to discuss." By their nature, side projects don't deal with a lot of challenges of professional projects: there's usually no deadline, there's no disagreements with other engineers, they deal with a smaller scale audience so don't deal with bugs and maintenance.
But how can you steal an idea that is already widely available for sale from others in the marketplace? Your assertion they "completely stole someone's idea/design" is equally theoretical here.

Someone replied and then deleted a comment suggesting it was a money-losing project given the decades spent without completing it.

My impression was that someone might have an interest in perpetuating the "donations towards completion" thing. If someone takes in more than they spend on family slowly carving away, it can be "successful" for decades, right? Turning down millions from the government might suggest the donations were lucrative. "In 2018, the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation brought in $US12.5 million in admission and donations."

A completed, privately-owned ticket-selling attraction in the hands of non-Indians would be less appealing than a project with donations to supposedly honour someone.
Yeah, the article misses that point. Disney+ isn't just "a competitor", it's got better content.
Except dropping your us citizenship may prevent you from ever stepping foot in the US again, if things like the SAFER Act [0] were to actually pass.

Not to mention all the accidental Americans that never stepped foot in the US!

You're assuming good faith where it's very clear that none exists.

There's no name calling in there, only factually accurate descriptions.

No. Let's be honest here: Muse did that when they blocked me initially. Then they did it again when they failed to answer basic questions put to them by the community. Then they did it again with the threats to the chinese guy. Then I did it once. Then they did it again when they blocked me for raising this issue.

> making accusations and name calling instead of asking an actual question.

What accusation did I make?

I've been over this supposed "name calling" already. I'll refrain from repeating myself.

> i don't even know what you are asking there, and what kind of answer you expect from the developers.

I've addressed this in my other comments here. I'd suggest you read them if you're actually looking for an answer to this.

> i mean you are asking if anyone agrees with your interpretation of the lead devs statement. how does that help move the conversation forward? how does it help to resolve the issue?

As I've already explained elsewhere, I was trying to gauge whether my interpretation was too paranoid. I was hoping that maybe the community might say "no, you're just paranoid". Instead the maintainer said in the strongest possible terms that I wasn't being paranoid enough.

It helps to move the conversation forward by helping me decide whether I'm just paranoid, and by helping to establish whether there is any hope for the audacity project, or whether a fork is absolutely necessary (turns out it is). All of those data points are useful for resolving the issue.

I will grant that perhaps I should have added a "legit question" or something in there since it would appear that most people incorrectly interpreted it as purely rhetorical.

But I'd also point out that the reactions from the community are overwhelmingly in agreement with my assessment.

> and what response do you expect from the lead dev on that? "yes"?

I've answered that elsewhere already, too. See my other comments.

> there is no answer that would be satisfactory.

Not from the dev. But I wasn't asking them.

> if we want to resolve this we, as concerned users, need to voice our concerns in such a way that the developers actually have a chance to make the necessary corrections and regain our trust.

Again, you're assuming good faith where it's very clear that none exists. I'd argue that if we want to resolve this we, as concerned users, need to support an audacity fork ASAP.

You have clearly not looked into this situation in enough depth. Muse have had and squandered multiple opportunities to regain our trust.
