If the country's GDP growth is greater than the annual deficit, total debt can decrease.

Yes, but .... If the US is doing so well, why is the total debt increasing by at least about one trillion dollars per year?

(Actually if my memory is correct (I'm too lazy to look, but you can do it if you want), in 2011 the debt was 13 trillion, now it's about 30 trillion, so that's an extra 17 trillion in 10 years therefore the debt is growing at 1.7 trillion per year.)

I hate that you’re being downvoted for this point.

This snippet is not the biggest problem with the twitch leak, I spooled through the terraform and a lot of it is awful. But it obviously works for them.

I had a overwhelming realisation that code quality really doesn’t matter, I spend a lot of time making my code clean and easy to understand- and that might improve _my_ ergonomics. But realistically my company is not bigger than twitch and if they can operate without major problems with this code then obviously it doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a big tech company or a small IT organization providing custom applications. The code everywhere has problems, and it’s never a good idea to complain about it.

In big tech, organizations often try to move quickly and release features… as part of whatever goals their organization promised to deliver. Expectations are unrealistic or only achievable if you really stretch, and everyone wants to deliver because that’s how you get promoted.

This incentive structure leads to an abundance of tech debt. And tech debt is hard to quantitatively measure. Eventually it slows down your pace of innovation, as all the little things that were accepted along the way pile up.

I don’t know of a solution to the problem other than looping your leadership in on what are the barriers to productivity - whether it’s poorly architected code, fragile build systems or tests, etc.

You can put together a plan on how to make a meaningful dent in the problem, but often times it’s good intentions. And by the time your actionable plan starts seeing execution, your leadership changes or product priorities shift and you’re back at square one.

Specifically from a big tech perspective, this is the cost that people don’t like to talk about. And it’s because of the incentive structures… product managers must spit out features for their own career progression, which goes into planning and promises made to executives, which reflects in what the company produces and whether equity owners see continued growth in these growth companies or not, directly impacting how the company is perceived, brand value, and market cap.
Thanks! Yeah I agree, Python has literally everything I've ever needed (from web-crawling libraries to automation stuff, ML, data wrangling, etc.)

OTOH, I think Julia could use some more work on its startup time to make it more appealing. Compared to Python, it's less of a "use-it-on-the-go" tool for me.
This is not how experienced or skilled managers handle it, this is how abusive incompetent managers act if people let them get away with it. The behavior you describe is both unprofessional (as in, ineffective) and immoral. The proper response to a manager suggesting something like you describe is "fuck you" in just as many words - have some self-respect, tolerating it is masochistic nonsense, there's no reasonable reason to pay out of your pocket for company needs. If they're your top boss then you don't want to work for people like that (and you don't want references from people like that); even if you're desperate, find a way out and quit (because most companies are not how you describe); if there's anybody above them, such a request (pay out of your pocket for webserver or backups) should be escalated with a "this is unacceptable, either you replace this manager or replace me" - not as an empty threat, but as a real course of action; because if the top management considers it acceptable, again, you should not be working there. The IT job market isn't that bad anywhere so that sombeody would need to tolerate abuse that hits both your wallet and self-respect.

It is not. You've misunderstood that code snippet.
Exactly. Note that the same analysis can work in reverse, too. The lack of leaky corroboration for a juicy, tempting-to-believe theory is a really high quality prior that it just isn't true. (With, maybe, an exception for very tightly controlled intelligence organizations. But in general anything juicy in the civilian world isn't going to stay hidden.)

For example: this is my #1 for why COVID Was Not A Lab Leak. The incentives for someone involved to blab are just way too high. If there was an incriminating email anywhere, we'd know. (Edit: and right on cue multiple people want to storm in arguing why this principle is not applicable in this particular situation. That's how you know it's "juicy", not how you know it's true!)
I have only been in that position once or twice, but yeah, knowing some secrets can be exciting.
A lot of the comments are about the rate of scientific progress being unnecessarily low in general, but I understood the article to be about the relative rate of progress in different fields. The authors findings suggest that not only is the marginal impact of individual publications greater in fields with fewer papers, but even the field as a whole moves forward faster with a slower publication rate!

What you should learn about that leak is that:

- Bad code lives in the dark. Code that is visible by many others never looks like this.

- Shame is good to some extent. It keeps people accountable.

- When closing tickets is more important than actually making real improvements, code looks like this.
What happened to just voting with your dollar? If a store doesn't present the items in the way you prefer, go to a store that does.

Should have asked Bob Dylan whether he owned a doghouse.
The ! convention is ok but I don't think it's optimal because, in the presence of higher-order functions and related concepts, it's often not clear if a function should be marked as !.

For example if I have a map function that applies a function f to a sequence, should I call it map! because I might pass in a function f that mutates the input? If so then it seems like any function that takes a function as input, or any function that might call a method on an object, should get marked with ! just in case. But if I don't mark it that way then the ! marking is not as informative: I might end up with a line consisting only of non-! functions which still mutates the input.

> because you know what, if it works, it isn't terrible to use/update and doesn't leak millions in lost revenue then there's no valid reason to spend dev time on that.

Really bad code grinds progress to a halt when developers have to spend all of their time fixing tech debt or working around fragile codebases to get anything done. However, I don't see anything in this code that would match that description. In fact, anyone can take one look at this and know exactly what it does and exactly how to modify it.

Counterintuitively, perfectly good code also grinds progress to a halt if developers become too focused on doing things the "right" way instead of shipping reasonable code that works. Developers who get lost pursuing a platonic ideal of the perfect code will be perpetually disappointed inside of real-world constraints. Perfect is the enemy of good.

It's definitely not fair to criticize a single snippet extracted from an entire company's code base. It's turning into a cheap way to dunk on a company from the sidelines while ignoring that the company has done a good job of scaling a video delivery platform and community to a massive number of users.
I don't agree with this paper's statistical analysis, and I think there's probably a different trigger for the change BUT I came here to say that I strongly agree with you that the paper has to be taken on its specific merits. It's perfectly possible to have good epidemiology based on time series data.

Brilliance Bias: Is Brilliance a Male Trait?
> ... a California court in 2010 had [...] later ordered Cameron to pay $8,500 a month in support, according to court records and interviews

> The trust was originally established in California, where creditors can place demands on trust assets. In 2012, Cameron moved the trust to South Dakota and, in 2016, to Trident. (During which, previous to 2016, the implication is that the trust was paying the ordered child support)

> Trident and a New Mexico firm acting as trust protector opted to end child-support payments, records show. [Arguing that SD law prevented claims.] The trust provides $1,500 a month for general expenses, Pallanck said.

> In 2019, after he went to court to enforce the California child-support order, the South Dakota Supreme Court sided with Trident. “Our Legislature has placed formidable barriers between creditor claims and trust funds,” the court wrote in a unanimous opinion.

That's my read: that current SD trust law, backed by the SD Supreme Court, refuses to enforce claims against (specifically) trust assets.

Which... doesn't seem great, and because of which it seems fair to label South Dakota as a legal haven for trusts. (The article not saying as much about whether the IRS faces similar hurdles)

I'm not sure what recourse is left if a state supreme court tells one to pound sand, despite another state's court having a claim?
Ok, so that's a forecast. Not something happening now (that you claim).

Category: Nature-Inspired Metaheuristics
It's certainly something that you feel the need to tell us when you aren't lying and perhaps "confused" is the right word, but at least you're not confusing me with somebody else.

Most oxymorons (including "oxymoron" itself in Latin) have this property in which the superficial appearance of contradiction is not the reality. A core library is a quite reasonable thing to offer, even if you don't seem quite clear whether C++ needs such a thing (and people are clamouring to add more to it) or doesn't (and so nobody implements or uses it)...

By their nature Rust's sum types are a language construct but specific sum types have to be implemented somewhere and Rust puts some very useful ones (such as Option and Result) that don't require environmental support in core.

Iterators are a tiny bit special because Rust's for loop is just syntactic sugar for iteration, the compiler knows core is providing the relevant stuff so it de-sugars a for loop by relying on IntoIterator, Iterator and Option implementations in core, if they somehow don't exist your for loops won't compile.

Compatibility claims are a weak excuse. Once upon a time I would have expected better, but it's certainly possible the modern C++ committee will agree with you that fixing volatile isn't worth doing and vote down P1382.

[P1382 is the same as the Rust volatile intrinsics except as a C++ template, not so much because it's inspired by Rust, but because those are in fact the volatile semantics you need -- same as C++ and Rust having the same maximum value for a 32-bit unsigned integer]

Presumably this has to do with support and possible testing. People buy RedHat EL for the longterm support, if they use a different vendor for the JDK they have to set up a whole new contract for that with a different company. By contrast, people using a free Linux distro may not have any benefit to using RedHat's JDK.

[This post represents my private opinions and is unrelated to my employment.]

It seems like you're trying to be flippantly dismissive, or to just make a joke, but the intent of your 'joke' isn't clear at all. What are you trying to intimate? Chinese companies gain millions of patents each year, in China and elsewhere, so China defending IPR as a concept seems wise. They seem to use a lot of utility patents (I think the USA equivalent is the 'design patent', it covers a product rather than an invention per se).

China as a nominally formerly communist state it makes sense that IPR would be weak in Chinese law [there's a lot to be said on whether the Chinese progress with, for example, 6G phone tech has been accelerated by that approach - which might indicate that the West has things locked down too much and stifles innovation somewhat??]; just like how the full power of IPR goes to the richest companies in USA because of their strong capitalism. China is changing, and whilst they may not enforce IPR in the way many Western Capitalist countries do Chinese organisations still use patents heavily. Indeed the Chinese government have schemes to encourage acquisition of foreign patents.

So, yeah, not sure where you're going with that?
Yeah that’s why everyone says now “I didn’t even know he was sick” – Norm couldn’t really tell anyone even if he had wanted. No one would believe him. I also clearly remember him saying “I’m 68 years old now” in one of his standup, getting a round of applause in return.
It was a US invasion. It was only authorized by the UN because Russia boycotted the UN due to it's refusal to accept China's new government.

Where required there are ways to force it to inline/devirtualise yourself. For example using refied generics is one way I've seen - i.e. there is no interface/virtual casting since it takes a type that implements interface, rather than the interface itself. It allows you to make polymorphism compile time rather than runtime. Seem comparison libraries to Java (closed source) that have run much faster as a result.

I do find people comparing Java and .NET Core often are compare apples to oranges however. Working on both languages it is just my opinion but the .NET platform is newer - it has a better "base" even without the same man hours. Much of the engineering time in both ecosystems is spent optimising for code typical to that ecosystem which is affected by history/legacy like any other software system.
Hmm. You're right that they are trying to do more than just that, they're trying to make a browser with an "off by default" policy for anything potentially privacy impacting. Personally, I haven't done any more than check it out, but I did end up switching back most of their changed settings.

I think the end game for this probably ought to be an interface that appears post-install and asks you to choose a set of privacy-friendly options (which may break things), or enable all web technologies (which may impact privacy). That seems the user-respecting thing to do to me.

Still, though, I'm glad that privacy-by-default, no unexpected connections out of the box, is something that someone is working on.
if you listen to the conan podcast where they reminisce about norm, the producer indicates that norm actually did stay with bob dylan and hang out at his place. so this could be true and removed at dylan's request. what's up in the air is whether or not the producer got his info from norm / real events, or twitter/entertainment news...

I wonder how good it will be wrt hardware support, drivers etc.
It's continuously moving target: you support a sound card, a printer or some SDR dongle, all fine and dandy, then two months later a new piece of iron is out and it needs adjustments to the drivers when not a full rewrite, all while maintaining compatibility with the old peripherals.
So I wonder if SerenityOS can count on some help by Linux drivers, I mean if they could be roughly taken as a starting point to speed up native support of hardware. Otherwise it would be a really time consuming task.
Thank you for replying in such useful detail!

I've been orbiting this array of technologies lately - 3d printing + silicone, and also epoxy resin - so this is all really useful info for me. Your comment about having to figure out working processes by trial and error rings true. I'll be sure to bear beeswax in mind - maybe it'll work some magic on epoxy as well.

In the spirit of reciprocal knowledge sharing, I've been using filler primer spray or smoothing prints. You're probably aware of it already, but it seems very underrated in the 3d printing community. Sands to a mirror finish amazingly quickly and easily, especially under running water. Obviously that's not a body safe surface, and I don't know what effect it would have on silicone curing, but still - one worth keeping in the toolbox.
That is what I remember. Basically this allowed it to run binaries built for TOPS-10.

At USC we ran TOPS-10 on the student machines and TENEX, and then later, TOPS-20, in the engineering computer lab. The TOPS-20 migration allowed us to run some accounting package from the student side on the staff side. That helped mitigate some of the impact on response time on the student side which was really poor with a couple hundred students logged in at the same time.
