To answer the question in a more practical sense than the plugging of a specific workflow and asking "Is this the future?", that the article posits:

1. Back to easy indirection resolution (https://youtu.be/baxtyeFVn3w?t=1786, re: gtoolkit)

2. Comments that are not inline, but can point to various blocks/parts of code and overlap (multiple comments can apply to single parts of code).

3. More support for unit testing. function call tracking (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51901676/get-the-lists-o...).

4. Conducting behavioral studies via opt-in submission of eye tracking data. A great deal of data is flowing through IDEs and not being leveraged to improve the daily tools of developers.
I wish I could have discussions about cryptocurrency as a technology rather than a "get rich quick" scheme. Back in 2017 I was really excited about Ethereum and the promises of scalability not just from Vitalik B. but from other developers too. I still think that cryptocurrency could do good for the world if the issues can be resolved but for now everybody's got their eyes on the price, not the technology's horizon.
And that's why we really need to start assigning equations rather than static amounts in bills
So back to shoving cash under the bed, essentially.

It seems like the people most upset by money printing learned to be upset by money printing from crypto propaganda.
>> My next question is how many mask factories have we built in the US since we realized that was important?

There's a guy with a small company that makes N95 masks in the US. He got pissed when they came looking for a production increase. He would be happy to increase production, but nobody was willing to buy from him long-term. They'll just go back to importing cheaper product (probably from China) after the crisis is over. He basically told them to go pound sand.

I just Googled this and it seems a bunch of companies tried to increase production:

I am trying to engage honestly, and is it dishonest to be engaging in conversation but with some mistaken beliefs that you are admitting your mistakes on?

For example, I legitimately thought from the news story that Dr. Seuss had been removed from many school libraries, and thus it would be reasonable to believe other books had been also removed. Some people called me out on this, I did further research, found I was incorrect in that it was the estate and not the libraries, and posted comments amending my statements and admitting it was not a good example.

Similarly, I believed initially that the proposal would only mess with the curriculum and not school libraries. People again called me out, I disagreed with the moral impact but posted an Edit anyway saying my view of the matter, but admitted my error and will admit my error to anyone who asks.

That's honest participation and good-faith discussion, even if I am in error, but I try to admit my error when people show my errors. Everyone makes mistakes and has incorrect information in their heads somewhere. If I was engaged in bad faith, I wouldn't admit my mistakes anywhere but would double-down.

EDIT: Also, it's actually a little ironic that you would call me dishonest by replying to my correction to my earlier mistaken belief.

Is there some reason why a country experiencing deflation can't print money and hand it out to voters until inflation returns?
I have the same problem and found a book I'm enjoying so far:

Nope, it works like that here too. See Elon Musk and the SEC kid gloves treatment for an example of a similar situation in the US.

> In C#, for example, reference objects and value objects live entirely separate lives. Value objects are always passed by value. *You cannot take the the address of a value object and pass that around.*

The last sentence is wrong. You can pass structs by ref in C# (ref, in, out parameters). Java will also allow taking references to value types and passing them.
> This is about the war with china.

> It's all an attempt to prevent war with China.

So the Chinese have UFOs and we have a war with China but we are moving chip production to all these countries you mentioned to prevent the ongoing war with China?

I’d like to give you the benefit of the doubt here though. I think if you were able to be a little more clear I’d at least understand what you intend to say, but I find your comments here a bit confusing.

> And nobody is talking about it? This is completely related to the war with china.

Who isn’t talking about it? Assuming you’re talking about poor relations (“Cold War”) and/or loving chip production. It seems to me to be pretty common knowledge and is widely reported in global media sources and the Internet. Don’t the links you provide demonstrate that?
I think some companies might do that. I think they'll wind up losing money as a result.

If you're willing to pay more for identical work because your employee chose to live somewhere more expensive, you're encouraging your employees to live in the most expensive places.

On the other hand, if you offer a fair wage for the work done regardless of location, your employees get better value by living somewhere inexpensive, which lowers the required compensation for the same employee.

I think Facebook is simply creating more problems for themselves by bothering with this.

This is spot on. I mention in the post and the video it's an expensive board, and very specialist.

The target audience is basically 'person who wants ARM64 PCI Express development board', and even there, some of the PCI Express implementation on the Pi's BCM2711 is... weird. Therefore some devices have had a hard time getting drivers going on the Pi (case in point: graphics cards and Coral TPUs I've tested). I plan on testing Radxa's CM3 and Pine64's SOQuartz too.

I think some people still want a cheap(ish) CM4 motherboard that just has one x16 slot, front panel headers, and maybe a 24-pin ATX power supply connector. I think that could be made for under $100 and would also solve a lot of needs for debugging purposes.

My process has always been one of inspiration from a higher power.

I would place a location, think of obvious items for the locations and then pretend I was there. What would I try to do and why? Then I would sit and think about it.

I also enjoyed putting it in front of beta testers and seeing what new and unique things they might try that I would want to incorporate into the game.

A big tip of the hat to Neil Novak one of my classic game testers from whom I got a lot of great inspiration!

As far as new puzzles go I hope you try the new section I wrote for Adventureland XL. I have a large number of new puzzles and one that I am especially happy with that went in a direction I hadn't done before.

To get into the XL section of Adventureland you do first need to complete the base game and it has changed a bit with a few new puzzles of its own. You can never loose so don't ever start over. Just keep playing and let me know what you think :)
I think what tools like GitHub and Gitlab need are a feature for PRs where near the pull/merge button there's a view of other PRs that the current one will create conflicts for when merged.

The reason this would be useful is sometimes you kind of do need a merge to be large, and while a large and important PR is being reviewed someone may merge another large but less important PR that causes a delay for the first PR. Like if I was going to merge a big PR but then I saw that it would mess something up with higher priority, I'd already know to hold off without having to inquire or always know what everyone else is working on.
Good input, fixed it.

In the U.S., you can use a photo you have taken for commercial purposes without requiring the consent of the subjects in the photo as long as: 1) the subject didn't hire you to take the photo (thus making it their property), 2) there is no reasonable expectation of privacy (photo taken in a public place).

Still waiting on AWS to implement referencing network security groups across Transit Gateway VPCs. Until then, I'm stuck with more IP references than I'd like, and wouldn't dare try to add IPv6 to that.

The end to end IPv6 support for ELBs is welcome, and I try to add IPv6 to every externally facing service, however Global Accelerators and API gateways still do not offer support.
It is possible to find companies that indeed do have loyalty. Personally, I have long ago resolved not to work for companies that outsource (offshore, same thing) engineering. It seems there may be a resurgence here in America of people willing to put their money where their mouth is: Buy local, hire local, keep the money here.

Yeah, it would require some thought. If you randomly rotated through the different sims it might help. I was thinking that someone else might be a good idea so that it would be harder for an attacker to figure out your number. I'm assuming that if you buy any phone service, prepaid or postpaid, that someone would be able to find it on those people search sites. But maybe all you really need is to have a number strictly dedicated to each value store, never used for communications.
I'll give you a bad review in a venue where your reputation is more valuable than the trade or I wouldn't trade with you to begin with. Or I would insist on an escrowed bond.

There's many other ways than inserting a monopoly on violence dispensing political authority into the loop and still ensuring that transactions are suitably reliable.

Big sticks just aren't a very efficient solution.
> Bitcoin is at the adoption stage where the general public is only beginning to use services like Coinbase. They do not know how to use a hardware wallet, most of them do not know that such a thing exists.

You are creating a persona tailored to back up your argument. It is not that strange that a good chunk of "common people" buying right now bitcoins know what an hardware wallet is, at least as a concept (not the tech implementation obviously).
I'm buying the crypto with foreign currency, e.g USD or EUR. For example, since I have a U.S company, I effectively make dollars with my work, but to be able to live here I need pesos. And the same would be the case if you work for one of the local companies that pay you in USD, since you still need pesos for day to day stuff.

Now, I can of course convert my foreign currency to ARS via a central bank, or a regular bank transfer. But here's the thing: official central bank rate for 1 USD is around 100 ARS. The unofficial rate (Western Union, Xoom, Crypto P2P) gives me 200 ARS for 1 USD. Quite literally double the money. That's a very big deal.

And yes, you're right that there is no inherent need for the blockchain or crypto at all, but the lack of oversight is probably the only reason why it is so convenient, and the lack of alternatives, because Western Union and Xoom serve the same purpose, but are much slower (days instead of minutes) and are bombarded with government restrictions.

I could, of course, try to find people here directly who want to buy my USD for ARS, and it would function the same way, but Binance P2P offers a marketplace website for that without me needing to find any of the people myself, equipped with escrow functionality so I won't get scammed.

It depends of the country.
Still relevant, although in different applications. GTK removed subpixel font rendering in GTK+4 (or more precisely, changes were made in Pango), that resulted in blurry fonts. Official explanation is that subpixel rendering is incompatible with transformations. Some work is being done on partial fixes, but results are not as good as current font rendering on GTK+3 applications.

The future is Flatpak plus the heuristics Steam does to determine if something is a "core lib" (like LLVM, Mesa, etc.) that should be centralized rather than installed per-app. And then (and this is just me dreaming about a better future) the Linux world will eject all of the bad programmers and start maintaining backward compatibility, so you can just symlink libLLVM.so.5 to libLLVM.so.6 and it'll just work.
If anything, I think stablecoins are way more dangerous than the author indicates.

People talk about things like Bitcoin as a threat to sovereign currencies, and they are, as competitors, of sorts. But stablecoins are another matter entirely. One huge aspect of the value of sovereign currencies is that they are instruments of law -- courts will settle in them as a lowest common denominator, and it is safe to use them in all sorts of settings as a result.

When dollar-denominated assets appear, they always run the risk of being considered a dollar-equivalent. For example, bank deposits are dollar-denominated, and are considered dollar-equivalent (even dollar-superior, in the sense that there are transactions that you can't legally do with specie, only with bank deposits, like buy stocks). That means that if banks (which are businesses) are not good at doing business, the government is essentially forced to treat them as dollar-equivalents by making them whole. See Savings & Loan Crisis, the GFC, LTCG, etc., etc.

Stablecoins piggyback on the legal aspects of dollars, and as long as you treat them as dollar-denominated assets, you're fine. The second you treat them as dollar-equivalents, you run the risk of a change in the value of that asset being something that the government is forced into supporting.
The fact we're sending 240V AC around inside the walls for no reason is a whole other question.

But an optocoupler relay is also about £1, so there's that.
> All it takes is a good enough sales and marketing team, or the right executive relationships, especially if the team being “supported” is small.

That's the point though. Getting caught up in engineering purity or even whether it's objectively _good_ is a waste. The product exists to drive business (financial) metrics. If it's doing that, it's working.
If the code was buggy, fix the bugs. If the code was truly redundant, you could delete it. I suspect you meant more that it was repeated in several places, in which case, of course refactor it to be more DRY. If you can write an abstraction that provides a consistent mental model and relieves programmer burden, then do it. None of that is in dispute.

My point is rather one of interface design. This is about communication with other developers. Help them out! Give them affordances to make their lives easier. Leave clues so they know what's going on.

A developer coming up to your template that just says {{ stockPrice }} has zero chance of knowing that this is going to secretly issue a network request. If it looks like a field reference, people are going to assume it has roughly the same characteristics as a normal field reference. That's an eminently reasonable assumption -- don't violate it.

Everyone would be surprised to see that take several orders of magnitude longer because it needs to touch the network. Everyone would be surprised to find out that they can't include that field in a template that might possibly be rendered when the user has no network connection. When things do something different from what they look like they're doing, it's surprising.

Don't surprise people. Make life easy for them.

Case closed. /s

That's not a particularly valuable contribution to the discussion, nor is it even true.

A use case for crypto is to be independent of the establishment financial system. This isn't important to that many people, but it is a use case, and there are valid reasons for it.
Seems strange to build a chip plant in a place that can’t even provide power to its citizens in winter.
> CCTV footage doesn't go viral, and my social circle won't see it.

It absolutely can and has. Such as if the CCTV captured footage of a crime or a suspect of a crime.

Additionally, if the CCTV is government controlled, it is subject to freedom of information laws (FOIA), which means anyone can get a copy of the footage for any reason and use it for any purpose. It is in effect public domain.
> One IMO realistic use-case is providing a wealth preservation mechanism for people living in a country with a corrupt government that's experiencing hyperinflation, for example Lebanon.

Sure, but (like it or not) that's covered under the umbrella of "crime".

Love how the left is now framing this as some sort of authoritarian Fascist plot of the right, when they themselves have created the cancel culture we're now drowning in.

Seems to me that the right is simply trying to curate books that are pushed on impressionable children and young adults, who are FORCED to attend public schools, paid for by taxpayers who are FORCED to fund them. I have not seen a single instance of conservative groups attempting to censor books from the public itself (i.e. via the publisher, author, book sellers like Amazon, online sources like Google, etc).

This is in contrast to the leftist mob going after these entities in an attempt to ensure nobody can obtain material with which they disagree, even private citizens obtaining it on their own dime.
