The use of square brackets in Lisp and Scheme is much older. IIRC there were Scheme books which used them much earlier.

Interlisp also for example uses square brackets. The left square bracket is equivalent to a round bracket and the right square bracket closes all open levels of brackets.

You seem to be conflating successful with good, in both directions.

Success is popularity, and popularity is absolutely a metric for success. If this product is popular, it is necessarily successful. You are explicitly denying this specific thing.

All of the food items currently sold (at least around here), on an individual and personal basis for the consumer, basically fine. The fact that a normal person has a bad diet does not alter this, as the products themselves are not the issue, the aggregate is (and indeed one of the issues with the normal person’s diet is too much red meat). Many dietary options exist, both those subsets which are and are not individually fine for the consumer, including a lot of foods you’re rejecting.

Because the individual foods are all safe, the questions society now has to consider are: (1) ethically, do animals have intrinsic value, or are they things we can just exploit without care? And (2) what are the non-personal consequences, e.g. pollution, land and water use, habitat destruction, and crop diversity to avoid all the issues that monocultures bring.

These two are independent, any given thing (not just meat and non-meat human products, also the food which feeds livestock) can be good or bad on each and either the same or different on the other. And it’s a spectrum for each sub-part of those two big bullet-points, not a Boolean. I’m vegetarian (and try to reduce milk consumption) because I want to err on the side of assuming too many minds might be sentient than too few, but note that despite this belief my comments do not denounce “meat is murder” or similar slogans, because that’s not something other people find relevant, rather they find it annoying.

Likewise, I am not arguing against meat (and leather) by saying it is disgusting and therefore nobody would eat (wear) it, because while I find it disgusting even on a conceptual level, I can clearly see that most people don’t.

Meat is popular, meat is successful. The only way to replace meat is to make something more popular. That is success. If I was working in that sector, that would literally be my metric for success.

But you aren’t discussing on that level, you’re going “ewww pea protein, nobody can possibly want to eat that” like your body wouldn’t do a similar chemical reaction if you ate peas.
There is work on HDR colors, but I haven’t followed up on it.
You think this is bad? Just look at a native Wayland "Hello World" client [1]. This doesn't even print hello world. You have to do the text rendering yourself. And you need at least 500 more lines to implement the equivalent to a simple XGetImage() call.

There's an upstream report at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/109176 ; it sounds like your experience will vary wildly depending on the version of electron you're using and the options it was built with.
Well, is it really all that absurd to use an existing vessel with a working engine (which uses whatever kind of fuel, not really relevant) to transport some random kind of cargo?

In my opinion it's not absurd at all.

Would you advocate for only allowing transportation of renewable fuels with means of transportation that use renewable energy themselves? That'd mean throwing away quite a few newly built engines and many more old and perfectly working ones and building new ones ... that'd seem like a waste to me.

Making the shipping industry carbon neutral is of course part of the task .. but according to a quick web search worldwide shipping amounts to ~ 4.5 % of greenhouse gas emissions .. that's only a fraction and not the big chunk that ought to get all the attention.

> Even when run under Wayland, VSCode looks blurry with a scaling of 150%...

It shouldn't when running natively; it should render everything at the correct size rather than scaling them. X apps get blurry because they're rendered large and downscaled; that shouldn't happen for native Wayland apps.
Let's see:

"Geldstrafen für Anbieter, die aus technischen oder betrieblichen Gründen einer Löschanordnung nicht innerhalb einer Stunde nachkommen können (z.B. private Webseitenbetreiber zur Nachtzeit), sind ausgeschlossen."

In english: "Fines for providers who cannot comply with a deletion order within one hour for technical or operational reasons (e.g. private website operators at night time) are excluded."

So... you're wrong.

PS I agree that TERREG is bad.
Thanks for the info on what you meant by money changing hands.

"The number of visits for conditions including nonspecific chest pain and acute myocardial infarction decreased, suggesting that some persons could be delaying care for conditions that might result in additional mortality if left untreated."

Yep. Nobody is claiming that number is zero.

The CDC report also notes "NSSP found that emergency department (ED) visits declined 42% during the early COVID-19 pandemic... with the steepest decreases in persons aged ≤14 years, females, and the Northeast."

People aged ≤14 years just don't account for a large percentage of ER deaths.

Or better yet, just glance their infographic:

That infographic is confusing. While it says "A decline in visits for serious conditions might result in complications or death" that is not a statement about the 42% number. ER visits declined that much overall. (My guess based on the "might result in complications or death" phrasing is that it's supposed to be a warning for the general public to not skip the ER for serious conditions.)

Re. myocardial infarction, https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778234 reports an increase of approximately 30,000 deaths in the US in 2020 due to heart disease.

Skimming https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/05/13/how-we-e... I don't see if they take into account known numbers such as that one. It does note

"Many people with treatable medical conditions have died because they did not receive appropriate health care. Conversely, other people have survived who, were it not for the behavioural changes induced by covid-19, would have died from causes like influenza, air pollution or car accidents."

What statistics would give you more confidence in excess death counts?

As your comment states you already technically have to comply with this if you have a significant EU user base, regardless of your provider.

Non-EU sites like twitter for example comply - I get the netzdg options when I click report from Germany, they have legal presence etc. despite not being hosted here.
Bazaar style development can’t really transition in such a fast way as cathedrals can. While in case of apple, simply declaring that this framework will be the default from the next release on is enough, linux doesn’t work like that. It is a slow transition, but it already has enough momentum behind it.

Throttles have only become drive by wire over the last 15 years, prior to that it was cable actuated and was instantaneous. Like a lawnmower. One could argue carburetor cars were even (a fraction of a second) more responsive.

Also if you WOT a modern car you get the instant response without the ecu calculating pedal angle, comparing to accelerator history, humidity factors etc etc but kiss fuel efficiency bye bye. There are mods and tunes that reprogram the fuel map to cut out this processing time

More Cloud providers is a good thing. But I hope more providers start following the method of an implementation of OpenStack that a customer can control. OpenStack has an API and tools which makes it much easier for a customer to start using cloud services in a standard way. Might not be good for "vendor lock-in", but it does let me ramp up on technology quicker. I've used OpenStack in a couple cloud providers so far and I really enjoyed it. (I've also administrated an OpenStack bare metal cluster, so I don't envy whoever is managing it at the cloud provider....)
Yes, this is exterior algebra. It's also interesting to figure out how this works in ambient dimensions other than three. The author has a table of grades: 0 for scalars, 1 for vectors, 2 for "bivectors", 3 for "trivectors", and they count the number of bases for each of these grades as 1 3 3 1. These basis counts are the dimensions of the (vector space of) scalars, vectors, "bivectors", "trivectors". If you go to two ambient dimensions you get 1 2 1, and if you go to four ambient dimensions you get 1 4 6 4 1. It's Pascal's triangle.

Yeah, before he realised and changed his mind, it probably seemed like just too good a deal financially to pass up. Perhaps with some element of "Maybe I can influence it for the better", which he then gave up on.
Yeah, that was my initial thought, too. However, why was it only a short spike then? A dev branch that got merged into master by accident? Also, none of the projects that depend on my repo (as listed on github) have a lot of traction.

Apart from the obvious restrictions on holocaust denial and related socially incendiary language, there have been laws passed criminalizing hate speech.

Hate speech is defined pretty broadly so something as harmless as - free translation - "man, what a schlong!" directed against a state-level politician caused a small media storm and included the police raiding the house (well... they didnt' even manage to raid the correct house) of the person who typed out that tweet. (#pimmelgate if you want to look it up)

That's not to say that there aren't more vile comments and death-threats that maybe deserve to be looked at a little closer to protect the victims, that are also the focus of these legal tools. But in general it seems something prone to abuse of power, and hosting providers can, to varying degrees, be coerced into aiding the state agents in enforcing these laws.
There's nothing stopping an X server implementation from doing compositing natively.
I don't think the location of the company matters. As far as the EU is concerned if you are serving an audience in the EU you have to comply even if you are hosting on AWS or any other hosting provider regardless of where you are in the world.

IANAL, but I don't think this law is a relevant factor when picking your hosting provider.
Perhaps this suits todays technology focused developer. There has been no progress on how to effectively determine and model complex business domain requirements into code, so just focus on the technological requirements and plumbing.

I'm also a music producer/sound designer and audio engineer.

Not being able to change the time signature isn't that big of a deal... Well over 90% of music is 4/4 and even other common ones like 3/4 can still be written in a DAW set to 4/4.

As a musician, I'd rather see them spend time working on some unique features rather than something niche that can be added on later (apparently somewhat trivially).

Seems like a whole lot of puff over nothing.
It really is so much cheaper. After dropping S3/RDS/ECS for OVH bare metal running Proxmox, my costs decreased significantly. I still use Route 53 and back up to S3, though.

Also, this is just patently false: “Like all things Wayland it's a mess with zero benefits for the user.”
A Wayland compositor is responsible for quite a bit more than an X11 window manager. Compositing, as you mentioned, but also display modesetting, input handling, clipboard management, and so on. Although, of course, one can use a library like wlroots or libweston to handle most of that stuff if you just want to focus on the desktop experience.

> Does your environment suck? Is your job boring? Try to fix it. But don't try forever. As Martin Fowler says, "You can change your organization, or you can change your organization."

When I read the situation you describe, the best thing would be to acknowledge where the tech lead is emotionally, and sympathize, because it sounds like they simply wanted to sound off about it, not actually change it at all. It's always easy to say no to why something won't work, and it sounds like a classic drama triangle situation, with someone coming in as a persecutor, you stepped in as a potential rescuer, then you became a victim because obviously your suggestions won't work.

You, however, don't need to accept the situation, and you can try to change it if you wish. Too many people (including myself, hence why I always re-read those few lines) fall into the trap of thinking that someone else should make this or that change, make a decision, or that you require approval or authority. This is far less true than people believe.

As someone who has stepped into a software manager role for the first time from being a software engineer for most of my career, my view is that I'm not always there to solve the problem, but to give space for people to solve the problems themselves. It helps if I know what's going on, or understand the issues, but I trust my team, and those I work with, and would rather get them together with the right people to discuss it through, and work out a way forward.

I appreciate I don't know the situation at your organization, the battles you fought, the things that have been said. Change is never easy, and there's always resistance, but you do have agency, as does your tech lead. Never forget it. Good luck.
Weird. If asked to visualize a triangle, I see the "glowing lines in a black space." If I try to visualize a red/green/blue triangle, I can only briefly maintain the image before it fades away into the default white outline in the void.

However, when asked to think of Tony the Tiger and his stripes, not only do I perceive orange fur and red bandana, but I'm struck by just how freaking blue his nose is and it is uncomfortably persistent.
People quote pre-tax salaries. The after-tax salary depends not only on the taxing jurisdiction but on the spouse's income if any, since that affects the marginal tax bracket.

How would it distinguish between two parameters of the same time? For instance, atan2 is often in the order (y, x), even though in pretty much every other circumstance, coordinates are given in the order (x, y). Would your feature be able to handle that?

In real-mode DOS the situation is that the program is loaded to continuous block of memory that is followed by it's BSS and heap. The MZ header only specifies how big the BSS+heap part should be. Typical MZ format EXE has the size specified as BSS size by minimum and no maximum, which causes the MZ loader to allocate everything from PSP to the end of present conventional memory to the process. One consequence of that is that if you want to run other programs you have to either change the usual default of "unlimited" heap size or free some memory manually (or use COM format executable which by default only gets one DS=CS=SS segment).

Yes, I never said it didn’t. What I said was the utility of other assets are backstopped by things that aren’t first order price appreciation.

The overwhelming majority of people are interested in bitcoin and crypto due to speculative properties. The utility of being able to interact with these blockchains right now (which is the utility provided by the L1 tokens) is drastically reduced if the bubble bursts. We see this with Ethereum gas fees. There is a positive feedback loop, which of course cuts both ways.

In real estate, the utility is overwhelmingly the shelter provided, and the price is backstopped by this utility.

In equities, price appreciation is the dominant utility, but is backstopped by the underlying business (as the business returns capital to shareholders). The price is a function of utility, as opposed to the utility being a function of the price (as is the case in crypto).
It isn't - or wasn't when I still listened every now and then back in the time when it was available to all [1]. He did interview scientists who often talked about their fields, leading Rogan to first assure the guest(s) that he - Rogan - is just an idiot upon which he would ask questions which often revolved around some of his favourite subjects: nutrition, DMT, physical training, DMT, aliens and did I mention DMT?

What made his interviews interesting is that he, apart from the mentioned standard hitching points, was inquisitive and unafraid to ask 'stupid' questions. Those often gave the guest room to delve into his or her subject of expertise, enlightening the listener and Rogan at the same time. Only a few of the guests were scientists, most were comedians, MMA fighters, ex-servicemen and such. Things might have changed since then but I can not imagine him ever labelling anything he does as 'science'.

I'm not so sure about that, it's illegal indoors (publicly) in the UK since 2005 iirc, my impression is that it's less 'socially acceptable', to the extent that can be quantified, now than it was when smokers and non-smokers shared a pub.
