They would then demand a tax on the sun as well.

There is an old satirical essay by the French economist Frédéric Bastiat on how the candlemakers demanded protection from the Sun:

Economic Sophisms and the candlemakers' petition
Contained within Economic Sophisms is the satirical parable known as the candlemakers' petition in which candlemakers and tallow producers lobby the Chamber of Deputies of the French July Monarchy (1830–1848) to block out the Sun to prevent its unfair competition with their products.[9] Also included in the Sophisms is a facetious petition to the king asking for a law forbidding the usage of everyone's right hand, based on a presumption by some of his contemporaries that more difficulty means more work and more work means more wealth.

I totally understand what you’re saying, but it’s also a sad state of affairs when we can’t handle “non standard characters”.

Standard characters (ie english) are only used by a small subset (maybe 5-10%) of the global population.

This paper doesn't mention IQ even once. It just discusses general effects it can have e.g. potential problems with multi-tasking for some, possible beneficial effects via increased mental stimulation for the elderly etc. This is quite different than what you initially proposed, not to mention inconclusive.
This seems really cool, and seems like it took a lot of man hours to put together.

However, I'm not sure who this is for. Downloading and installing an application is not a particularly big ask for the type of people who use VSCode. The browser version will always be a compromised experience, given the inherent limitations of browser applications. Even if it works 99% of the time, that 1% would add enough friction to make it more of a hassle then it's worth.

The post gave some use cases involving hardware that can't easily run Desktop VSCode (e.g. iPads and Chromebooks). I just don't see that being much of a use case though, except in desperate circumstances where a more capable dev machine isn't available.

If there are some use cases I'm missing, I'd love to hear about them! This is a pretty new concept, and I certainly don't know how everyone likes to code. But from my perspective, I struggle to see any situation where someone would choose to use this, and few situations where someone would have to.
I feel like Facebook used correctly is more like social broadcasting, updating your entire social circle on your goings-on, alongside messenger and WhatsApp for one-to-one constant contact. Of course, Facebook used wrong is a similar weird vibe when you pretend you have friends because you constantly "like" the statuses of people you used to be close with.
A lot of adults today weren't even alive in 95. Also, the assumption that people are familiar with windows vs other operating systems is becoming less and less valid. And as the world gets more globalised and remote, it's no longer to be assumed that all technical people are of a Anglo American culture.

In the US avgas (which has similar lead content to pre-phaseout automotive gasoline) is 0.14% of gasoline usage and declining at about 5%/year.

I don't think you are misremembering; -ffast-math causes __builtin_isnan and __builtin_isinf to unconditionally return zero, for both gcc and clang:

I found this out the hard way several years ago and still have my own implementations of these functions laying about in case I want to use -ffast-math.
Very cool stuff.

I remember being at Build 2018 and asking the PM on the Live Share team if they had any plans to bring VS Code to the browser. Maybe do managed environments for labs and companies (what GitHub code spaces now is), would be great for education. Lots of students (especially non-CS nerds, like the physics kids with a CS requirement) find environment setup to be one of the hardest parts. He seemed to think I was a piece of shit for not ‘getting’ what Live Share was all about and how those other offerings (code spaces, running in the browser without install) were bad ideas not worth considering.

I think the moral of the story is, if you’re a PM, don’t treat your most enthusiastic customers like shit. Or maybe do, because it won’t actually have business impact.
> I actually liked that concept, and I think if participle experiments unexpectedly stopped working a lot of scientists would lose heart.

Actual physicist here. We LIVE for that moment when the experiment does something unexpected. That’s when new discoveries are made, and our understanding of the world turned upside down. We got into the field hoping for a moment like that to happen within our lifetime. Suicide? Hell no, we’d be giddy for excitement wanting to see what happens next.

Liu Cixin doesn’t have the faintest clue about scientists and what motivates them. I put down the book as soon as that part happened.
I wasn't proposing making it a standard for qualification. More like changing job requirements to be attainable to a broader swath of workers and recruiting in areas that we wouldn't normally, like inner city high school grads.
True. But these actively supported, paid products build upon layers and layers of no-longer-supported, free/opensource products. Good luck fixing them.

Not saying that this is OK, just explaining why using non-ascii characters, in this day and age, is still asking for trouble.
Wonderful comment, thank you.

I agree that Lisp’s “no syntax” is an acquired taste, but asking someone to keep an open mind and use something that peculiar for ≈3 months is a very tall order.

Yeah, built-in adblockers (including the blocking being written in Rust and built into the browser, so it won't get nerfed by Manifest v3. Also capable of doing CNAME unmasking, the thing that makes uBO better on Firefox, btw) and other anti-tracking measures, running their own end to end encrypted sync architecture and standalone revenue streams like Brave Talk, their Brave Ads-driven takes on Search and News, etc. so they can be actually independent. Yeah. Just a cryptocurrency scam.

The coin itself is one of the few that has a value based on some actual use, at that:

Brave sells adspace, gets paid in Money™. They keep a cut, take the rest and buy BAT with it, give it to users. Users can then tip content creators with the BAT and get some compensation for Brave's part in killing tracking ads.

Many people are idiots who do think that BAT is for them to get rich but like hell it is. Single ad viewers aren't very valuable, they only matter in aggregate, so you'll only ever get pocket money as BAT.

How would one "prove" the reason they changed their name is for PR? A company would never outright say "Our reputation is terrible so we are trying to trick everybody by coming up with a new name to redirect attention."

Google did it because they were structuring businesses that matured out of Google X - like Verily & Waymo. Facebook doesn't have such a similar business reason. Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook are all in the social media space and all relate to each other. The alleged reason "to rebrand under a Metaverse umbrella" makes it clear this is a very different reason compared to what Google did.
Cool idea and execution. The problem is cloud services like google drive can do this.
That sounds like a good argument for better public transportation. Not much air travel is by general aviation.

But the processes are very flawed leading to the wrong stats being used to make decisions.

For example, an experimental vaccine isn't given out widely till there is good data that it is safe (often taking years).

However, for risky diseases (like COVID), as soon as there are even rough indications that it is safer than COVID, it makes sense to give it to everyone. Every month you spend doing more safety tests, millions of people die.

The same is happening right now for malaria treatments which are being trialled. Skipping the trial and handing it out untested will probably save more lives.
Students and kids with chrome books - a huge amount of middle and high school students in the US. Students who Microsoft would like to grow up thinking software development = Visual Studio.
Same here. It's just so ergonomic. For instance, here's how to make a fancy prompt in fish:

- Write a function called "fish_prompt" with "echo", "set_color", and whatever else you want.

- Put it in a file in fish's "functions" directory called "fish_prompt.fish"

That's it. Done. Every time fish needs to display a prompt, it does so by calling the "fish_prompt" function. Where does fish find the definition of a function called "foo"? In a file called "foo.fish".

Oh, do you want one of those very cool right-side-of-the-window prompts showing the date, maybe? Write a function called "fish_right_prompt.fish". There, you're finished.

There are a million little niceties like this that seem so obvious in retrospect. Fish is what happens when someone completely rethinks a shell from the perspective of how things should be done today after we have a few decades of experimentation under our belt.

This article is based on one quote from Peter Thiel,

> “I don’t know that you should put all your money into bitcoin at $60,000 a bitcoin right now,” Thiel said. “But surely the fact that it is at $60,000 is an extremely hopeful sign. It’s the canary in the coal mine. It’s the most honest market we have in the country, and it’s telling us that this decrepit... regime is just about to blow up.”

'standard' by what measure? Ł is more standard than X or Q in the polish alphabet.

~ Sincerely, a person whose name contains „ń” and therefore had to deal with this bullshit his entire life.
I've been learning APL for a bit, and have tried q too, and I disagree with the idea you need more skill and concentration to write either. Personally, for problems that suit the domain, I've found it much easier than equivalents in other languages like numpy and pandas. Q-sql in particular seems extremely convenient to have built into a language, and probably requires less concentration to write than an equivalent using manual iteration/filtering.
Although it's covered in the article, I wanted to add a little more context for folks who aren't familiar with the song:

* The song Tom's Diner was a notorious earworm that seemed to get stuck in the head of society at large for a few months in the early 90's. For a short while it felt like some version of it was playing on every radio everywhere

* The original track was minimal – just her voice – so lent itself to a wide variety of covers and remixes that crossed a lot of genres

* Suzanne Vega was an advocate for those covers and remixes at a time when the record industry was not, and eventually put together a full album of remixes called Tom's Album

No, this is not about H-1B visas. If you read the article carefully you'll see this is about employment-based immigrant visas - i.e. green cards.
So it depends on how you want to detect overflow.

Trapping on math exceptions or otherwise pulling an emergency break doesn't really fit with modern hardware design if you want performance (for one thing, what do you do with the rest of your vector? do you just live with a pipeline flush?).

Adding targeted checks used sparingly can work, but probably requires a deeper understanding of the underlying numerical analysis of your problem. Generally just checking for NaN or Inf at the end is a better solution as these are in most cases absorbing states.

I don't know anything about political systems imploding, but it's possible the era of USD global domination is closing or at least getting significantly weaker, along with its weaponization of the banking system.

While I agree the US political system is about to implode, I do not agree with Thiel why it is about to implode.

I always find this to be such an interesting peek into the minds of others. The ability to love who you like is freedom. The ability to ingest whatever substance you like is freedom. Neither of these freedoms statistically put others in danger. One of these things is not like the other.

You have the right to self defense but the 'freedom' to own something which can kill or maim dozens of others has to be balanced against the overall good of society. I find this viewpoint and willingness to sacrifice lives for this particular 'freedom' to be a little sociopathic.

Sometimes it's not how smart you are but if you can utilize that. Many people can't afford higher education, especially from rural areas, there's also stereotypes based on accents and mannerisms that could prevent growth at a company.

>What about a female employee who doesn't stop her boss's sexual advances because he controls her income and career? Is that a transaction between consenting adults?

You're trying to flip the script here. A boss (i.e. a concrete person yielding some form of power over another person) trying to coerce the employee is on the same line as a pimp or human traffickers using coercion (or worse).

I was never talking about that, I was talking about a person who looks at the options in the job market, and figures all on own their that prostitution is the least shitty option available to them. And some prostitutes reportedly even like their job well enough. But even if they don't, they can join the large group of other people who do not like their jobs either, but do it anyway to provide for themselves and loved ones.

There is no coerced consent.
