In a way, it is - I take on an operational overhead of rebuilding an upstream tool, periodically merging my changes with master and rebuilding, etc.

This isn't something I budgeted time for, or something I even roadmapped for, which means the build process is going to be a 30-minute kludge and will likely incur greater-than-normal ongoing overhead.

This is part of a larger push to make ASP.NET Core and .NET easier for beginners. The difference between node.js + express vs. ASP.NET Core was a lot of boilerplate to return the first Hello World. Overcoming that churn is a huge problem for .NET adoption.

Do not take three-line-minimal APIs as the end product for robust, safe and reliable endpoints. We all know better than trusting 3-line-presentations.

As a seasoned .NET programmers I have a love-hate relationship to this new set of features (there are more!!!). The simplicity for rapid prototyping (or beginners) vs. the organized OOP template. The .NET 6 release will be very controversal. .NET will not get worse, however, a lot of (existing .NET/Java) people will complain about the new project/coding style attached to it.
> What the critics forget is that previous models were even worse than foundation models, much worse. The fact we're only now having a discussion about their intelligence is proof they closed the gap considerably.

People have been arguing that the latest in AI research has been evidence that the singularity is just around the corner for decades, I don't see the current discussions as any different from before. Its just the same old, AI solved a new problem, AI optimists thinks this means human intelligence is now solved and AI will soon rule everything. Reality is that AI just solved that problem and other than that problem we are no closer to human intelligence.

The problem AI solved the past decade was pattern recognition. That is useful for labelling images, detecting faces, evaluating positions in games like Go etc. But it is very apparent that just pattern recognition isn't enough to reach human intelligence. We still need a fundamental new breakthrough to reach it, and such breakthroughs can take centuries if they happen at all.
The most noticeable difference between Uber and other services in my city was the waiting time. 3-6 minutes versus 15-20 minutes.

This is achieved by having a lot of underpaid drivers idling or parked nearby.

Both g++ and the objective-C frontend already existed back then, so your argument isn't correct. I think the main reason back then was that Stallman and the FSF were very much against C++, and pushed very hard for everything under the GNU umbrella to be written preferably in C or Scheme. They only relaxed that after much insistence from the GCC developers, which wanted to be able to use templates and RAII.

I think that Glib was born from the same mentality which considered C as the perfect language, with the end goal of getting the same functionalities of modern languages without leaving it.
With the Artemis Program hopefully establishing a permanent lunar presence, it'll be interesting to see what massive radio telescope arrays will be planned and built in the decades to come.

The behavior I'm complaining about happens on both, though as best I can tell the voice typing decides whether to use on-device or cloud-based depending on the conditions when you use it.

In a manner of speaking (and historically), yes. Code that people write in C is often low-level enough so that it only requires the standard library and the OS API.

Like the user you’re replying to, I to find the concept of a C package manager baffling. I don’t know what your background is, but some reasons for my reaction:

- a plethora of details that are implementation specific;
- different compilers and platforms that differ in important details;

- as a consequence of above, most code ends up targeting some limited set is compilers and platforms;

- no standard build system to build package management on top of

- the header file system, which allows api declaration and implementation to be decoupled

By the time you’ve narrowed down enough to make these tractable, you might as well use a given operating system’s package management tools as your “C package manager”.

There are some consequences. If they will be hired as employees it will be first with a temporary contract. Since
there is a limitation to renewal of fixed term contracts,
after a certain period the employment is seen as an indefinite employment contract rather than a new fixed term agreement. Meaning then they could not be fired something Uber will not want. The limit is 3 years or 3 contract renewals:

Possible outcomes:

- Drivers in the Netherlands could organize themselves, but they will need a structure similar to Uber

- Other countries will follow the Netherlands ruling

We could see the implosion of the gig economy (doubt it) or - most probably - some places like the Netherlands will be gig-economy-free zones; and we'll see the impact on their economies.

Most folks who do traditional epistemology would say that you could have very good justification yet fail to have knowledge because what you believe isn't true.

And yes, this probably means that in some sense, when you know something, you don't have direct access to the fact that this is knowledge. It's also often the case that you shouldn't be certain that you know. You can't perfectly ascertain whether you have knowledge... though you can have good reason to believe that you know something.

Most philosophers these days deny that knowledge requires either certainty or direct access. For instance, we know lots of things on the basis of testimony and other sorts of non-deductive evidence.

Crossbeam is a library that provides various concurrency primitives, such as a queue type that allows stealing of work.

Rayon is a library for running code in parallel. Typically you'll give it a (parallel) iterator of sorts, and it will distribute the work across a pool of threads.

Tokio is a library for async IO operations.
Who said Western? Are corporations or specifically multinationals uniquely Western? What a weird thing to get defensive about.
It isn't (only) about what the actual drivers want. I'm sure they also want more money, but Uber isn't going to give it to them. It's also about fair competition, health and unemployment insurance, pension, etc.
I tried your example, and got what seem to be non-deterministic results.

The first time I searched for "I'm not a mathematician or a puzzler", I got "No results", plus a long list of results for the same search without the quotes (which did not include solipsys.co.uk).

I switched to Verbatim, and still got "No results", but no list of alternatives without the quotes.

I then tried regular and Verbatim without the apostrophe in "I'm" ("Im", in case it was indexed without punctuation) and got the same non-results.

Then I tried misspelling "mathmatician" an suddenly I got the hit on your site as a suggested alternative!

Then I tried a regular search of the original correct phrase, and got your site as one would expect!

Then I switched to Verbatim and again got "No results".

I'm not sure what to make of this, but since the same search a couple minutes apart produced different results, there must be something happening behind the scenes. Maybe the different backends have different versions of the index, and Verbatim only uses the version without this phrase? Or maybe it's just chance and if one kept trying, one would eventually get it to work with Verbatim.

Why Does Your Company Need a Custom Loyalty App?
Convenience. Shoppers often see it as an inconvenience to carry a plastic card for loyalty rewards. So, digitalising the process through a mobile loyalty app would make it more enjoyable for customers.

Personalization and Big data. It will allow the company to design unique benefits tailored to users’ preferences.

Sense of exclusivity. Businesses can gather personalised data about customers’ behavior and preferences. Customers will form a better bond with the company as the app will create a sense of exclusivity.

Dozens of other jurisdictions seem to have ruled similar already, but for whatever reason, with limited change yet.

I'm not sure why not. Possibly stuck in various appeals, or maybe Uber made some other small change and waited to get sued again?

> It no longer works in on demand economies, with variable hours and self employment and people working multiple jobs.

Why? There are people who work variable hours, self employment and working multiple jobs. They're called freelancers. You can freelance in most countries, and it's not a problem. What is a problem is Uber and gig economy companies saying that the people that work for them are "actually freelancers" as an excuse to offload costs onto the workers, who don't get any of the advantages of being a freelance (they always work under the conditions for these companies, with no power of negotiation.

I assume you’re talking about the left-pad incident? It happened over 5 years ago and policies have been put in place to stop it happening again. It was a mistake, they learned from it and moved on.

Secondly, this issue isn’t specific to JS or NPM, a few years ago someone deleted their Golang project on GitHub and broke the ecosystem in a similar way. If anything, it’s less likely to happen on NPM today as it acts as a cache
But what if I legitimacy want to be a freelancer? Lifestyle reasons, freedom, whatever. I should have a choice.
True, but you don’t have to parrot what those in power tell you to say. Use their own terms against them, or use a completely different terminology - just make sure you’re the one who defines the terms, and that you’re the one to create context (i.e. meaning). Gather enough people who share the world-view you’ve created and you have a chance to overthrow existing power structures. But even if you don’t, you’ll be “free” - at least in the mental sense. Of course, depending on how radically different your views are from the status quo, you might also seem insane to some people (in which case its probably best to smile, nod and agree to what others are saying)
I think the opposite: current mass media approach turns science into a religion -- see the explosion of "I believe in science: (insert desired slogans)" posters. Allowing scepticism, including experiments to challenge widely held beliefs, is fundamental to science.

Seeing scientists disagree, debate and use repeatable experiments to settle disagreements could help bring the rational argument back, instead of the current "my science is stronger than your science" style of debate. My 2c.
Ubers whole statement is letting us think they do it for the drivers.. It's terribly obscene
Where is everyone parking? Like you can't just pull up outside a shop on Regent's Street, park your car, pop in to grab something, and then come out again. So who are all these people driving up and down it?

I can't imagine the logic of thinking 'I need to go into central London to do something today... I know I'll drive'. Not even just from an environmental standpoint - even without that the stress of navigating London and parking and then leaving your car in such a busy place.
I disagree with this. There is no C equivalent to the C++ STL included as part of any OS distribution, which means that any C code needing something as basic as a hashtable has to rely on a nonstandard third party library.

"Step aside and lemme wire this thing in will ya? Warm up that transporter in bay 12, we need to bust outta here before this thing fires."
This isn't mandating that uber has to hire these people, or that these people have to have jobs, it's that if Uber wants them to work an amount of hours equivalant to a full time emlpoyee then they need to not pretend that they're not full time employees.
Typescript has already filled the niche of a typed, OOP language in the browser for me. And it's surely much better supported than TeaVM.
The article points out that this word is effectively a hapax legomenon in Ancient Greek. It only shows up in this NT context, and not elsewhere. We can speculate about what it means from the surrounding text-- it appears to modify "bread"; its morphology-- it decomposes nicely into "over" + "being, essence"; and its parallels in other sources, but we'll never be sure what it means. It might just as well be a prayer for being sustained in abundance, and this might even be expected since people in the time of Jesus thought that the end times were at hand, and with those the "world to come" where the righteous would be rewarded. But even that is speculation.
