I would invest learning to develop for enterprise tools. Things like episerver, sitecore adobe cms, Shopify or sap stuff. Definitely would say it’s the most interesting way to develop software but companies are willing to shelve out the big bucks after buying some of these obscenely expensive license’s. Pretty well paid cushy jobs
Not quite. The compiler does have the knowledge that it can use \0 for representing None in Option<Pointer> types. I'm not sure it can infer that for home-grown Option enums.

So it can optimize the memory overhead of Option<> away completely.

I wonder if section 1202 has anything to do with this.
Are we doing that? Was some new gas tax passed in the US?
"[Edit]: You’re a coward if you downvote to suppress an opinion without having the decency to engage in debate."

The other explanation would be, that your arguments and discussion style are not the best and not worth engaging with.
Note that if you have untrusted input, you may want to use a defensive option for hashing involving a private key, such as SipHash[1]. Otherwise, an attacker who knows your hash functions can just pre-generate a large number of colliding elements and reduce your hash function to a linked list; given enough attacker-controlled elements, this can effectively amount to a DoS attack[2].

i think people in russia are largely sceptical of liberalism due to the huge mess it caused during the yeltsin years. yelsin, a hard core liberal, by the way ordered the army to shoot its tanks on the parliament in 1993 [0], and had the support of the liberal west to do it. today (and since the fall of ussr) the biggest opposition in russia comes from the communists

I’m really keen to see how that plays out.

As someone pointed out before on HN, various NATO countries, US especially, churn out small reactors for their navies, apparently with great success. These reactors are built on time, roughly in budget, work, and aren’t failing all over the place.

That’s a fair few data points showing that SMRs ought to be very viable. Just... not here yet :)
The UK didn't put all their nuclear eggs in the EDF basket, it's just that the other companies offering to build new nuclear plants were even more of a disaster than EDF. At least they managed to actually complete a reactor build recently; if I remember rightly the other candidates went bankrupt.
I think sometimes religion comes with more reverence or a genuine deep respect for the idea.
The same PG&E also fell behind on maintenance of vegetation around power lines, causing wildfires. As well as gas pipe infrastructure, causing a neighborhood scale explosion.
I’ve been on Mac so long that all 5 options feel erroneous. I just close my laptop lid when I’m done.

Eh unfortunately its muddy there too, see changelog.com which is not an SPA and instead uses Turbolinks (now Turbo) to persist the podcast element at the bottom of the screen.
What set of technologies would be capable of achieving our green targets if we retained gas boilers and shunned nuclear?
Just like you had to learn how to code with absolute memory addressing because only a silly non-engineer would waste computer resources on a compiler, right?
Perhaps that's true in the retail space, but I was really addressing all uses and not just retail. However, if wearing such a mask can increase the error rate when it comes to sentiment analysis and age/gender classification as well, that's gravy.

For me, No. 1 with a bullet is a mechanical keyboard.

I type endlessly and I type fast -- without mechanical keys, I'm replacing the keyboard (or even the whole laptop) every 18 months.

This irritatingly leaves me stuck with gigantic gaming rigs; the first company to build a relatively lightweight laptop with mechanical keys has my business for life.
This doesn’t really make sense. Your computer is still using all of the pixels on the screen (unless there is a GPU problem), it’s rendering everything bigger so that 2X pixels are used on a 2X screen. The OS isn’t scaling 1680x1050 bitmaps to 2880x1400, unless the apps are somehow producing bitmaps directly.
Isn’t capturing and then flaring methane the environmentally responsible thing to do?
In the olden days, the idea was that you did not start by submitting any proposal. First you got your pet language feature implemented (as a non-standard extension) in several major compilers and used in several meaningful code bases. And then you submitted that feature, which was already well understood and under widespread use, to the C standard committee, which would very likely accept it. Nowadays it seems that any old doofus can "propose" things. Fortunately most of these proposals are not taken too seriously, since the language keeps saying no to nearly all of them. The discussion is interesting though. My pet language extension to C would be closures (local functions that you can return pointers to, thus allocating memory for their local variables); I've seen several proposals for them come and go, without much success.

Yup. Socio-economic and geographic forces are powerful, and there is a reason why many things are different in the US from denser locales with historically stable and established urban centers like Europe or Asia.

I remember swastikas in the 1970s. I don't think they were ever edited out.
That’s exactly what we’ve done. Threw a HomeKit controlled plug behind it, added automations for it to be on when high probability of being used and off otherwise. Beyond that, it’s only a, “Hey Siri, turn on the printer” to start printing.
The generally proposed way to deal with the worst nuclear waste (spent fuel) is to put it back into special reactors or to use special reactor designs to convert it to material with a much lower half life (hundreds rather than 10k years) which can then be stored … somewhere … more feasibly until it becomes safe.
I think you're confused.
> "The responsible life before God" -- I don't think any modern person is capable of understanding what that meant in the 1940s. We just don't think that way anymore.

I would suggest that perhaps you are limiting your scope of possible "we" (21st century human) thought states. The passage seems to me perfectly clear. For reference, the full quote is:

> "The word of the Bible that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom declares that the internal liberation of human beings to live the responsible life before God is the only genuine way to overcome stupidity."

He's discussing one way out of the trap of conforming to group/tribal beliefs. If you put your fear of God (in other words, some power higher than, and distinctly external to, any social group) you begin to liberate yourself from caring too much about what other people think.

If you believe that God demands that you act as morally (for some definition/code) and as responsibly as possible, and you place that demand/requirement higher than any other motivating feeling, you will ask about any belief or course of action "Is this Right?" (ie. Does this align with God's command), and consider that question more deeply than the creeds or slogans of your fellow mortals.

Note that he's not saying that the above state of mind is easy, it's merely something just strive for. Many devout religious people still try to the best of their ability to work towards that exact state.
First get a job in Customer Operations, Technical Support, Manual QA or Platform Configuration Management.

Then try to find a mentor in your work place that will champion you and help you grow into the area of tech that you want to do, whether that product, data, engineering or what ever.

Side note: Software engineers never graduate. The moment an engineer at any level decides to stop learning because "they know it all," their career will go into a death spiral. I state this because there's no fast and easy way to do something. Any corners you cut upfront you'll need to figure out later on in order to move your career forward.
Who are you to make that choice for people? Heat waves and blackouts kill lots of people. Your position seems religious, and impractical. You’re treating energy use like sin. It is in my opinion an awful way to view the world.

I mean mathematical logic, where you study proofs as mathematical objects, among other things. The topic used to be called "metamathematics". An old fashioned intro class would usually build up the machinery to prove Gödel's incompleteness theorem, do a little model theory, maybe some set theory, etc. I think a lower level discrete math class wouldn't touch any of this.

The problem with &T is that you can't make one to just-past-the-end of an array.

If you look at the implementation of slice::Iter, it stores a (cursor, end) pointer pair, but there's no way to say "this is a non-null const pointer" so it casts the cursor pointer to *mut.

In my experience, browsers are not good at word-wrapping a div with, say, width=100px in a consistent way. First, different browsers break text at different points. Second, if the div is scaled (e.g. to 120px) and the font-size is scaled accordingly, this may again cause line breaks to occur at different points, potentially causing the number of lines to change.

This was surprising to me. What are my options if I want to enforce consistent line breaks? I've thought about "freezing" line breaks by inserting <br/> tags, but to do that I would have to find out where the browser actually breaks the text, and I'm not sure how to go about that task.

It isn't difficult to identify some "stupidity" in most any ideology, but managing to get a member of an ideology to acknowledge that it is true/relevant/etc is extremely difficult. I suspect some much better approach is out there, but we seem to not have found it (perhaps because we aren't really trying to find it).
Hmm… Google “top frameworks for JavaScript,” go get a book that teaches the hottest framework, and then demonstrate that knowledge by building something with it. Host on GitHub pages.

See if that framework has a local meetup group. Attend to network. Being associated with a meetup helps.

At that point, find a job posting or a recruiter looking for people who know that framework and try to land the gig.

In my experience, the barrier of entry of dramatically less for front end roles than other roles. Once you’re in, it’s easier to move away from front end if that’s what you want.

Warning: programming is challenging work and not everyone is cut out for it. It can be miserable work.
You have been making these pedantic semantic arguments on all the replies in this thread. It’s pretty annoying. We all know that the NYT has been downplaying inflation concerns, lockdown concerns, etc. since the start of the pandemic. Just because what was posted doesn’t literally line up with OPs exact wording in every way doesn’t make the underlying sentiment wrong.
Nuclear is the one way to solve carbon emissions with nothing but money. Renewables, storage etc, these are not quite solved problems. But we could just throw money at nuclear and get it done. The world was once building reactors like there’s no tomorrow, surely we could restart that.

Yeah it’s expensive but so is sea level rise and dealing with hurricanes.

And safety? Pollution from burning coal kills so many people every year, I’m slowly beginning to think nuclear safety is a bit if a non issue, even it a plant blows up every now and then.
Tech support is just saying people to switch on off stuff and troubleshoot things which already have pre-made solutions. How can a person switch from this to a full blown career in tech ? My advice would be to start from being a manual test engineer move to automation test engineer work closely with devs in this position and slowly switch to a software dev. I say start with manual test engineer, because the entry barrier is very low and you can work your way up to become a software engineer. Will definitely take time ( years easily ) but its achievable this way I feel.
He broke a few extra eggs to make the omelette, ergo 30% bad and 70% good, but the alternative is no omelette. Mao's track record is fine for someone who decided to pivot hard to tackle extremely challenging problems to setup country on path for development. The alternative is stagnation from not making those decisions which could magnify into existential risks. It's national restructuring. Stagnation, to stay on topic is what too many in managerial class are content with. People fixate over deaths and human costs, I'm sure there's crass observation on nature of human capita somewhere. Don't get me wrong, GLP was clearly excessive, preventable since it was an human problem (bad communication, logitistics). Mao was a bad manager / statesman who pursued right high level goals with enough charisma to propel PRC to next level. All while pitting employees with managers against each other and playing power games to cover his ass and protect his status. Which is probably as close reflection to modern corporate house of cards as one can get.

Russia was always exporting energy to Europe (oil gas and coal) so it does make sense from that angle too.

With Germany going off nuclear, they become increasingly dependent on Russian gas.

I just looked at GitJournal now, first time hearing of it. Would it be able to support other note-taking formats, such as org-mode, or is it tied to Markdown?

This is a failure of optimisation though.

In the NonZeroU64 case Rust can literally do the same trick with magic values ... in the machine code, the magic value is zero, a NonZeroU64 can't be zero and so Rust will squeeze None into that value of the register.

The programmer and their colleagues both reading and writing the code don't need to understand how this trick works, don't need to be aware of magic values, and if some day the code needs a full u64 and a NonZeroU64 isn't good enough, they just change it and sure, it might be a little slower because the optimisation wasn't available, but it still works as expected because magic values were just an optimisation not part of the program logic.
My laptop only heats up in sleep mode, unfortunately.
Do printers have an End User License Agreement?

The last printer I bought, I was able to setup and print with, without (explicitly) agreeing to any license. Is the EULA part of a software install process?
In The Scout Mindset, Julia Galef calls a very related state "the soldier mindset" - this is similar enough to the term you proposed but I think you would enjoy reading the book.
First class support for nullable is more basic and needed.

Java On its own it doesn’t support this however there are ways of enforcing this in a Java codebase. Eg: Errorprone and NullAway comes to mind here.
> You could never do that to begin with. The compiler was always free to evaluate your function at compile time (and already did so in some cases).

no, that is false. the constant expression context is specified by the standard - the following will always hold if your compiler is not braindead :

https://www.thejournal.ie/gender-equality-countries-stem-gir...

"Countries with greater gender equality see a smaller proportion of women taking degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), a new study has found.

Dubbed the “gender equality paradox”, the research found that countries such as Albania and Algeria have a greater percentage of women amongst their STEM graduates than countries lauded for their high levels of gender equality, such as Finland, Norway and Sweden.

The researchers, from Leeds Beckett University and the University of Missouri, believe this might be because countries with less gender equality often have little welfare support, making the choice of a relatively high-paid STEM career more attractive."
For an early alpha version, it is ok-ish. For anything but that, it is terrible.

I couldn't possibly disagree more. This is nothing more than the digital equivalent of the monkey Jesus restoration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecce_Homo_(Mart%C3%ADnez_and_G... It's extremely disrespectful. The colours are shifting all over the place. At times it's no better than overlaying a random gradient over the original.

> We've been paying artist to color BW in the early days, this is just replacing the artist by machines.

And some people are very upset over those. (Have you ever actually seen classic movies like "It’s a Wonderful Life" in colour?) But this ML nonsense doesn't even hold a candle to those. In the manual process, for every object, they pick a colour and stick with it.

Last time I checked in Europe 80% of the gas price was taxes.

Last time that I checked in the US up to 30% of the fuel price was paid for RINS, aka renewable energy certificates.

So yes we do pay for sustainability. Unlike the billionaire explorers.
IMHO SpaceX should get an exemption for national security purposes (For the same reason the US Military doesn’t need to abide by the EPA). Access to space is in the national interest. I don’t think something that has an immeasurable impact on the climate is anywhere close to being more important.

It simply hurts me that we have Open Source 3D printers but not 2D ones.
Unfortunately the complexity required to go from one object in 2 hours to say 20 pages/minute makes any FOSS hardware approach impossible as of today.

Intel Shows Off Multi-Chiplet Sapphire Rapids CPU with HBM
You're seeing the compiler opportunistically make an optimization by taking constexpr as an extra inlining hint. I showed you it's not something you can rely on in my example. You have to realize constexpr only talks about what is allowed to happen, not what is guaranteed to happen. You want consteval for that.
There is obviously a difference between the three, but is it that much? And how much is it really because of underlying technology and how much is it because of artificial market segmenting?

I also take offense with he fact that the 3rd example does not even have a listed price - that is a BIG red flag for the habit of making the customer pay as much as possible.

And the HW cost is justified, the SW cost is NOT, the interface should be simple and clean. Why is it not? No, here vendors are to blame.
No matter how cheap solar power is on paper, it's not much use in keeping British homes heated over the winter - solar panels reliably produce zero power after sunset and relatively little overall due to the shorter days in winter and higher latitude. Any realistic plan for going carbon-neutral has to deal with that issue.
This sort of ridiculous cynicism doesn’t help that cause.
I'm glad this exists. Powerful people need to understand how badly social media sucks, and there's no better way to teach them that lesson than pitting them against each other in an app where they're exclusively locked with their contemporaries. I can't imagine any of the milquetoast characters they name-dropped having anything interesting to say, so frankly: let 'em have it!

In the meantime, I think the rest of the world should be switching to more privatized social media. Platforms like Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey and the all-uniting ActivityPub standard have created a frankly fantastic infrastructure for keeping people connected. I've been greatly enjoying the pull-first style of microblogging it offers, and it greatly alleviates the doomscrolling of Twitter or Facebook. Want to check in on your friends? 30 seconds of scrolling through your Mastodon feed will get you up to date. Twitter took me a few minutes to even catch my bearings, and after that I'd have to sift through the promotions and completely unrelated content to get to the stuff I cared about.
Interest rates dont mean anything anymore(ie you cant draw any conclusions about the risk the market is pricing in). The entire credit market is manipulated by the FED.

Clearly you have an agenda of your own.
> Mostly because all the flagship laptops are stubbornly (or rather being strong-armed into) sticking with Intel.

Intel sold StongARM (and XScale) along time ago. They might be in a much different place now if they didn’t.
That is called “niche optimization” and the compiler will in fact still do it for a hand-rolled Option type.
I've used it for a couple of years with no noticeable impact on battery life. (Motorola phones).
