Tbh. I would never directly(1) recommend arch to anyone for a simple reason, it requires some linux/unix skills to be worth it.

If you have the skills I don't need to directly recommend it to you, you already know it.

If you don't know it you likely don't have the necessary skills.

Through by being opinionated about the choice of packages and way of setup and adding a QA Team, more CI and slightly delayed (non-security) updates (like 1 day or two) you probably could produce a grate experience even for casual users. Hm, but then as a company producing a custom Linux distro is rarely worth it and often special purpose enough to not care about the benefits this approach would bring.

ARM NEON did it right. They have two sets of integer negate and absolute instruction, normal and saturating. For signed bytes, the saturating versions transform -128 into +127.
I did the digital nomad thing for about a year back in 2016 before settling down in Taiwan (2017 - present) with my now-wife.

If you have any desire to travel the world (post-pandemic), I'd strongly suggest that you take the plunge and do it. It's eye-opening and totally changed the direction of my life -- as someone else mentioned there are long-held beliefs and values that you start to question after you see people living life differently.

The main thing that I was surprised about is that travel is _exhausting_, and this is doubly so if you are also tied to regular employment with semi-fixed hours. Finding decent accommodations, reliable internet, food, and a data plan with google translate starts to wear on you after awhile. I'd personally suggest doing the slower travel route of 3 - 6 months in a place and really getting to know an area.
I recently read that more than 70% of the code in modern ECU's is for diagnostics.
Help needed: Design system survey
Reminds me of when I was a kid.

My dad's mom, who I rarely visited other than for brief trips (his folks were avid dancers and would always show up at OUR house on Saturday evenings), watched my sisters and I so that my parents could go to a class reunion. Usually this would fall onto my mom's folks, but they were on some sort of vacation trip.

Anyway, my grandmother apparently really enjoyed reading tabloids. I had spent significant amounts of time at my other grandmothers' house reading Ripley's Believe It or Not books from cover to cover, and so I just started doing the same at my other grandmothers' house while eating Violets, a perfumed candy that was apparently popular amongst women at some point in time. Anyway, I thought that everything I was reading was true, including giant ants that were eating corrugated aluminum.

I spoke up to my grandfather, asking him whether he had protected his shed against these monstrous incursions, and he looked at me like I had 3 heads. It wasn't until my mom saw what I was reading when she returned that she understood what was happening.
If abs() returned unsigned then an expression such as -abs(x) would be surprising and wrong.

I would assume it's for outside, as the CDC has changed its guidance on outdoor use, as we can see from this earlier, archived, guidance page[1]; this later guidance[2] which is more relaxed; and in particular this order[3]:

> The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an Order pdf icon[PDF – 11 pages] on January 29, 2021 requiring the wearing of masks by people on public transportation conveyances or on the premises of transportation hubs to prevent spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. This Order was effective as of 11:59 p.m. February 1, 2021 and was published in the Federal Registerexternal icon on February 3, 2021. CDC will be amending this Order as soon as practicable, to not require that people wear masks while outdoors on conveyances or while outdoors on the premises of transportation hubs.

Android doesn’t run java though? It runs native code the same way as ios, so bringing the latter ecosystem’s better performance into the picture without considering the generational leap in terms of CPU design is just a faulty logical conclusion.
The CDC is not perfect, no agency in any country is.

The thing is, we were hit by a pandemic that was practically impossible to stop. Some countries did better than others for a variety of reasons but it was bad times for everyone. And when times are bad, we look for people to blame. The virus is terrible, the agencies tasked with dealing with it did what they could, and that they couldn't solve an impossible problem in a superhuman way doesn't mean that they are unable to solve the easier problem of tracing back an infection.

One advantage to virtual meetings is that we're no longer suffering the portal effect when we exit the conference room.

I had one particularly bad manager who treated meetings like coffee brakes, anything we said or did was forgotten as soon as he stepped out of the room. There has been research done on this portal effect and how it makes us forget our current task.
It may depend on the context. In a small or one on one meeting, yes it is usually rude. In a meeting with more than 5-10 people where I'm not expected to be a very active participant? I think it's fine. I also expect if someone would like the camera to be on at these meetings they would be able to tell me that and I'd usually be happy to do so if requested.
Why rude? Organizer of the meeting should either tell participants to use camera or whichever they prefer. And chosing not to turn it on is far from rude

Thanks for the links. My point was that studies wouldn't invalidate mattlondon's observation that cyclists more often break laws that affect pedestrians. The studies you referenced do seem refute his claim "cyclists - as a general rule - totally ignore any rules" - presumably the non-aggressive majority aren't catching his attention.
> I'm in far more meetings than I can possibly be productive in.

There's an organisational issue here.
It’s funny how unpopular this argument was. There is no way level 5 self driving works, unless you are aware of anomalies beyond what the models are prepared for.

Targeting all those platforms will result in Kotlin falling in-between all of them. It will not be truly close the the JVM primitives, or the native ones or both in the end and will suffer from platform-specific quirks.

Especially with the heavy, under-the-hood developments of the JVM, like Loom and Valhalla.
In my experience, meetings definitely feel more productive when at least the key participants have cameras on. So I would not advocate for a "camera off" culture. Instead, something that helps me and might help others - When I am not speaking, I keep my camera on, but I don't keep the camera view myself - i.e, I don't watch myself or others. Instead, I switch to the content being shared/presented, if any. This helps me a lot, as I think a lot of the anxiety comes from having to watch myself, which is always uncomfortable and not something that we are used to.

Secondly, I think virtual meetings are fatiguing also because of the constant staring at the screen. In in-person meetings, you spend a lot of time not looking at a screen, whereas you are constantly staring at a screen in a virtual meeting. Something that helps me is to take some of the meetings like 1:1s while walking with only audio.
Strangely this is perfectly fine to do with my employer, but I have a weekly meeting with some external developers and they immediately comment on my avatar or that I'm missing, while they all have their cameras on.
Maybe that part is only relevant to the US then? Afaik. many states have laws to require constant supervision till 12yo and people sometimes even get into trouble leaving kids playing in their own back yard.
I think this applies to lot of frameworks, especially web frameworks. This has been my experience with expressjs and Angular2, Jquery. They may look like they are doing lot of magic but underneath it’s just a simple code, when read it easy to write optimised code.

Surely there are flight patterns that can minimize this risk: ie diagnostic hover at 10ft for X seconds to rule out start up failures, followed by an ascend to 500ft, flight path maintains that height, similar pause prior to descent on landing...
No, art does not have to be impractical. It was practical all the history of humanity, till mid XX century, when state-funded art galleries were captured by context-violating "artists", who invented this kind of excuse.

It depends how much older.

Like just a few days, weeks or continue to use a older no longer maintained version of a package because you don't like the new version.

I (now) guess you mean the later in which case, yes it's not trivial as it's not really supported by anyone anywhere. Neither the original software developers (which replaced it with a newer version), the package maintainers/Linux distro (which also moved on as the older version doesn't get updates), other packages interacting with ti (which expect a newer version), etc.

So while it might suck, I would recommend to simply not do so as it's not worth the risk and headaches it brings you. At least not as long as you don't find enough people to do a fork and maintain that fork.

Still undoing you last update is often as simple as just installing the package from the cache, and then you would need to pin it/make pacman ignore it (and then it probably will brake sooner or later depending how much it relies on specific system libraries in specific versions being available).
All the sentimental comments here around travelling by train make me wonder if Europe is just not good at this. I did the interrail about eight years ago and some of the worst nights sleep were had on the cramped bunk cabins. Arguments over air conditioning (too cold low down, too hot up top), people staying up late when you want to sleep, bad hygiene etc.

Even the night trains to the north of Finland which are seen here as some kind of benchmark are noisy with earplugs. They stop multiple times in the night so you wake to the beeping of the doors opening and closing.

I think there’s a market for rail travel. I love the idea. But it’s just not comfortable at all, or at least not economical to travel comfortably.

> and are too impatient to be helped over Slack.

Slack is not a panacea. Sometimes, you need to share a screen and have a fluid discussion, which Slack does not provide.

All-slack communication is definitely not great. It is ok for some communications that can be asynchronous and don't need a support, but that's definitely a small subset of the work communications needed for an engineering context.
Actually, it is. It often doesn't rain for hours on end, so people work a bit longer or start a bit earlier to avoid the rain. Otherwise, there's umbrellas, ponchos and plain old acceptance of the fact that you will be a bit wet for an hour. My dad used to say when it was pouring: "You're not made out of sugar, are you?"
And yes, public transport is busier on some days than on others, is that a problem? How is that any different from motorists on roads?
Thanks. That gives some confidence to me. In fact, I too have done a lot of POC around new tech like elasticsearch etc and I am enjoying it. But my actual job doesn't involve any of these. Unfortunately the recruiters insist on using it in the actual project.
Wow, lot of famous spacecraft using that.

Adding syntactic sugar for properties to the language will cement the worse than ideal get/set naming convention to the language forever, while there are sure better abstractions that could be made instead (eg. records with withers)

Mutable records, especially primitives are a pain in the ass for C#, so it is a bullet avoided. Immutable objects are much easier to optimize away, and are safer to use in concurrent code.
I feel there is a small market for conductive adhesive labels.
How about removing implicit arithmetic conversions.
I personally find the most productive meetings are where there is some kind of screen sharing on a document/something else. It gives something to focus on (so you're not tempted to read emails/do other things) and you don't have the annoyance/distraction of cameras (or they're only a small part of your screen).

It's got better now days but at the start of the pandemic every other video call with over n people would have interruptions/digressions when someone's dog/cat/kid walked into the background of someone's video.
Now that companies have recognized that remote is the norm and not a perk, I hope we start to see companies offering "Zoom-free remote" as a perk.
> The half that continued to wear masks after the CDC said it wasn't necessary?

Wearing a mask in public transport and crowds has always been a good idea, even before coronavirus hit.
And yet, people still do it.

In fact, the sport is growing.

Yet Tesla sells it today as working
You’ll love the art experiments which stall Tesla by pouring a circle of sand around them.

If someone decides to prank a desolate stretch of road with tens of stop stings every 5 meters, you are going to have some very broken self driving cars.

Plus all driving models are cultural driving models. A Tesla will break down on Indian roads.

Self driving cars will need data from sources other than their models. At which point you are creating mass transit with extra steps.
No air conditioning? The horror!!!

It amuses me to no end how Americans seem to equate lack of air conditioning, something the human race has survived perfectly well without for tens of thousands of years, to unsanitary conditions in a third-world country or some sort of dystopian post-apocalyptic nightmare.

I found this [1] article when I started googling the people in the company, I thought this quite from their CTO Tomasz Patan was fun:

Vi vill inte att folk ska köpa vår produkt och krascha den direkt, så vi har sålt till välkända personer främst i USA som skulle få för mycket skit om de gjorde dumheter med den

which translates to (note: native Swedish speaker, but not a certified translator):

We don't want people to buy our product and crash it straight away, so we have been selling to famous people mostly in the US, who would get too much crap if they fooled around with it"

I enjoyed the directness of that statement. :)

Also learned from the same article:

- The maximum cargo weight including pilot is 100 kg, if you actually reach that then flying time is reduced to 12 minutes.

- The battery pack is charged externally, i.e. not in the vehicle, so you can have spares and swap.

- No mention of the battery pack's weight, but I guess you would have to be quite a bit below those 100 kg in order to have room for another battery.

- New owners get a 2-day course (not a "crash course", I guess :) at Jetson before being allowed to take their new vehicle home.

As someone who's partially deaf, I really appreciate camera on. It's a lot easier to understand people. I actually like Zoom meetings more than F2F at times, simply because everyone (with a camera) is equal - I see all their faces (and mouths) the same. F2F? Masks cover up faces, and we all have to stand far apart - horrible conditions for someone HoH.
Compile times on M1 seems to be fairly nice yes, according to those that have tested. But it is still perhaps not what one could wish it to be. So far most of the efforts in the compiler seems to be around making it correct, rather than faster.
I sympathise with this a lot. It's tempting to say "oh just use ActiveJob, and a CAPTCHA to stop bots, and Devise for auth, and MailChimp to let users know it's completed, and build a UI for submitting new jobs, and also for viewing pending and completed jobs", but all those little things add up.
I used to have the moderated outlook, but then I saw how traditional medicine is the #1 reason for rare animals being poached. I also saw how the related disinformation drove people towards quackery like Ivermectin and Chloroquine.

If you let crazy people gives themselves titles like Doctor and open a shopfront, all legit and everything, then people will just take that kind of thing on face value.

Freedom doesn't mean the freedom to defraud and wipe out entire species.

A lot of people here are voting me down and saying that I'm totalitarian. I'm just advocating for banning some quacks from practising fake medicine. The opposite is allowing our planet's wildlife to be permanently, irrevocably wiped out in the name of old people getting erections or whatever.

Honestly, which is the more extreme position in your mind: Specicide or Regulation?
You dont need to rebuild the roads. This is a dead simple idea. You need sensors every x distances, and then use WiFi/mobile data to update cars of the model it should follow or rules of the road.

At this point though, you’ve started creating mass transit.
I have this problem with Lotus cars. They “fit like a glove”.
They are not used that much yet, and the whole deal (with destructuring pattern matching) is not yet ready, but it is basically just records as (nominal) product types and sealed classes as sum types.

What is already possible with switch expressions is branching based on type, in a much more ML-like style like case Point p -> …
which doesn’t require instanceof checks and castings, but it will soon become Point(x, y), where the x, y will automatically get the values of the corresponding fields.

I think it's OK to have the camera turned off for meetings but if it's a company meeting or a more social catch-up I'd like to see my co-workers. So 99% of the time no problem. But once a week or once a month I'd like to see everyone.
Using the last bit isn't business logic task and we know it from history. We used 32-bit integers to represent file size, did it matter if it was signed or unsigned? No, file sizes outgrew both ranges at the same time. Can we fix the year 2038 problem by using unsigned 32-bit time_t? No, we use 64-bit type. Databases normally don't support unsigned types, but it might feel like if signed 32-bit range is not enough identifiers, unsigned might be? No, we use 64-bit integers. Blueborne used 16-bit unsigned integer, which should be enough for anyone, but a forged packet overflowed it.
