Without knowing the specifics of the incident:

There is actually very little stored energy in a hydraulic system, due to the incompressibility of the fluid. Hydraulic injection injuries[0] are nasty, but catastrophic failure isn't particularly dangerous. Pneumatic systems on the other hand can reach dynamite energy levels and near-enough dynamite energy discharge rates.

It was not gradual when the cathedral suffered a fire or a collapse. They would rebuild a traditional romanesque basilica in a gothic fantasy of endless towers seeking the sky; or they would install a baroque dome and façade, completely modernising the appearance of the building.
Oh that is what I was saying about Rust. I don't think that is possible in C, at least not without a huge amount of effort.
I think the big question that we have to ask ourselves is, in the contest between the right of speech of the individual and that of private corporations; Where, if ever, do we draw the line when the latter erodes that of the former.
That's not actually true from a legal perspective anyway. The church is in charge of maintaining furniture even in the buildings that are owned by the state.

It's also not true that the papacy has always won when they challenged law, as it did initially challenge the law of 1905 by refusing to create a legal entity registered in France at the time, refusing to declare masses (as public reunions). In exchange, the state kept property of all furniture and non-cultual church property (presbyteries, seminaries, etc) without any clause for use by the Church. Many have been sold since then, or used for various purposes. The Church eventually caved in in 1924 but that was too late to regain use of these buildings.

For the particular topic of the redesign of this cathedral though, I don't see the general public really caring about it, I don't see the church pushing for this design in particular either (this is just one proposition by one team, among many others) and I don't see the state caring much either beyond general considerations to choose between the various design proposals.
If you scroll down (at least on my phone) the cube rotates for a while and then the navbar appears.
It's still worth it depending on the page size and average page views per visit. However we're talking about a very small, very fast website. The parse+request time is longer than the 1-6kb of inlined resources.
Unfortunately it's not tax evading, as it's legal.
From the perspective of the Church, maximizing the opportunity for updating spaces based on the current models of liturgical practice and pastoral (including evangelization) needs is rather more the default than “repair the old to be like the old”.
If you are in a crowd, and an active shooter just killed one or two people in front of you, are you going to sit around and wait for a court to determine that they were legally innocent?

Or would you be completely within your moral rights to defend yourself from the shooter, by any means at your disposal?
I can share a few observations on how I read other people's copy.

This mostly pertains websites and marketing materials, I began reading this way ever since I started writing slides and pitch decks for other people's concepts but my own.

- I dissect each sentence and paragraph looking at how much data the author wanted to convey. Data being a feature or property of what they are selling (in contrast to their opinion)

- I look at how much the author follows the current trends and relies on cliches to write 'nice' sentences

- I gauge if the intention of the author was to convince me to feel a particular way, or provide examples and reasons to believe their claims

- I look how mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive their messages are

These authors and sites might have an impact on how you read copy

Even more amusing is reading some of the job descriptions ...
When working with Americans the rest of the world has to recalibrate their sensors :)

When an American says something is "awesome" or "revolutionary", it's usually just another day in the office.
Most of the old school archive formats allow adding the same path twice. It's to avoid having to rewrite a huge archive just to change a file.
So happy about this! Have fun everyone.
Yes, but usually that's done with respect for what's already there, not "hey we have millions of donations, let's throw all this old junk away and install a multimedia show for tourists instead".

Quotes to support my statement:

> Altars in the chapels would also be displaced and only four confessionals maintained on the ground floor.

> So the chapels, some of which could be renamed after Asia, Africa and other themes, should display “multiple offerings” such as light projections of Bible quotes in foreign languages including Chinese.
Why wouldn’t this result in absolutely horrible search results? Any sort of algorithmic tweak to prevent confusing, misleading or low quality results could be counted as moderation.
There are a lot more layers to the case than you would originally think. Like an obligation to flee if reasonable to do so etc. Legal Eagle on YT did a great breakdown of it all.

It's not as simple as "can't claim self-defence if you initiated violence yourself".
Using NFTs for deeds sounds like the worst idea ever. So now if you get malware on your computer, you lose your house?
Totally agree with your comment about the cancerous need for growth. If a company is not growing, immediately it's seen as if something is wrong with it.
It's a role not a responsibility. Responsibility would imply that they can be hold accountable for not delivering. Such as blaming plants for not taking enough CO2 from the atmosphere.
Unregulated capitalism you mean.
You mistook my assertiveness for aggression :) And let's assume it's not just the only receipt you happen to have in your house.

Anyway, real life example - police calls me up saying this number came up in an investigation, who are you and a few more other questions. They were obviously expecting me to cooperate cause they hadn't bothered to do the paperwork to obtain my identity which was tied to the number. First thing I did was say I'll call you back cause I'm driving, what's your name? So I could verify it was an actual cop.

When I called them back I said I'm not telling you anything until you tell me what it's about. Cop hesitantly starts giving a few bits of information and we go back and forth until my mother's town comes up (too small a place to be a coincidence) and the whole thing unravels.

Turns out my mom had been getting some weird calls at home and when she was out & about by a person who seemed to be following her. Because of her age and absentmindedness she gave the wrong number out of her recent calls list to the police. Hilarity ensues. Cop suggests I check on my mom, we genuinely thought she had some kind of attack of dementia (she was fine, just very embarrassed).

Cop also called my mom to saying your kid's a real hard-ass (but polite and correct)!

Anyway my point is - don't you think me lawyering up for this would have been absurd?
I wonder how an M1 Max assembly version would fare.
I think Facebook (meta)‘s key asset is now WhatsApp.

Facebook is practically dead. It’s just a stream of awful content that isn’t from your friends. It’s hyper advertising and desperate attempts to clone other platforms as it slowly dies. It’ll continue for a long time, eventually becoming yahoo like, but young people do not care about it at all.

Instagram has similarly been over monetised but in an earlier stage. It has been roundly defeated by TikTok, utterly destroyed by TikTok, in the battle for teens’ attention.

Oculus was a great buy but the gap (in terms of years) between instagram’s peak and oculus really coming online is just too wide to “save” the company.

In contrast, WhatsApp is still used across the generations. It’s the one platform where grandparents and grandkids are both active users.

If I were Zuck then I’d focus on turning WhatsApp into an Asian-style chat platform with integrated services. That I can’t wire money on WhatsApp in the U.K. is I think a very very big strategic error on his part.

It seems clear Facebook (meta) can’t build anything truly new, but they can certainly extend platforms - they should focus on WhatsApp. It has longevity, strong network effects, and huge potential. Just don’t use ads and destroy it.

Otoh Facebook deserves to die so I hope he continues to think oculus will save them.
Assault rifles are certainly a thing, both in the descriptive sense -- everyone knows what the word refers to -- and in the prescriptive sense -- various armies including the US have or had classifications that defined it as a term for selective-fire weapons that fire an intermediate power cartridge like 5.56mm or Russian 7.62x39mm.
Which content is that? Saying "Rittenhouse acted in self defense" didn't violate the FB policy, so what, specifically, could you say that is consistent with the jury that Facebook would remove?

The jury didn't conclude that Rittenhouse is a good person, or that his victims deserved to die, or that they were bad people or looters. The jury didn't conclude that America needs more people like Rittenhouse, or that we should celebrate his actions.

The jury concluded that he wasn't guilty of murder. That's all. You're a lawyer, you know that.
> We will understand that those people are the ONLY ones that stepped up to the task over 50 years to write this kind of software

Not to take away from what they've shipped, but it bears repeating that they are also, generally, profligate writers of severe security holes. Some of the most expert programmers in the world have created mighty CVEs.

There's a school of thought that it's a poor craftsman who blames his tools, and your post walks close to that line, but when the tool is full of footguns even the experts can't avoid that cause tremendous damage to bystanders, then perhaps these people who know how to organize themselves in loose groups of more than just a few developers need to prioritize helping us all move to better tools.

Other segments of the programming population embrace a wild west culture of change, for good or bad. If the JS world can insist on a new frontend stack every few years, why can't managers and lead developers put their foot down and steadily back C/C++ into the corner where it belongs, where literally no other tool will do, and where it's doing the absolute minimum possible?

Since they're so good at shipping, ship us better tools! It may not seem a fair criticism -- it doesn't sound fair to me when I say it.

But I'll give you the answer to my question: They don't want to move away from C/C++, because they don't see a problem. The C/C++ devs I've chatted with on this topic have mostly been convinced they know how to write secure code, that they are capable of taming the distinctive complexity that spirals out of an expanding C++ codebase. Some of them might even be right! They wear their capabilities with pride. To admit that their hard-earned skills were invested in a tool that bears replacing is not something they can consider.

To change, first you have to admit you have a problem. And at least among the C/C++ devs I've talked to about it, few have professed a problem. Combined with the first mover advantage, I fear we'll be having this same debate 50 years from now.
> it's good to see an ecosystem forming around the derivation data type, with the possibility of reuse across projects that use derivations.

Guix used to use the same derivation format as Nix, but they've since diverged
That's a very modern mindset, dating to the second half of the XXth century.

Before that, the mindset for reconstructing historic places was pretty much "hey we have millions of donations, let's throw all this old junk away and install a multimedia show for tourists".

One might say that any old historic building that is not in ruins has already underwent at least one of reform in that style.

Really not sure how that would be possible. The Republican party is fairly evenly split between corporate/Reaganesque Republicans and the populist right. There are no other power blocs that could enact the kind of steering you're hoping for. Even electoral defeat doesnt seem to phase them much (they're all voting against popular progressive bills in lockstep).

The best we could probably hope for is that those two wings of the party turn on each other but as Trump demonstrated they seem to be able to find enough common ground to work together.
I think the original author said that it was harder to make this than his masters thesis.
Accountability in Software Development
Person is a legal concept, too.

Of course infants and intellectually incapable adults are limited persons in the legal sense: they have fewer duties, but also fewer options. For example, they won't be accepted to a pilot school.
We are humans. We need social connection, we need soap operas, "trash TV" is just human drama basically. Our brains were not made for studying math 24/7 but they were made for social interaction 24/7. Social interaction is like driving on autopilot. It fulfills us. Doing science, solving hard abstract problems, being engaged in political events is tiring. Sometimes we just want to do what our brain is made for as its default, resting activity.

Why is it trash also? I'm sure there's a lot of interesting psychology to unpack there. It's just trash if one thinks we need to dedicate ourselves to "higher purposes" and anything else is "lowly" and "denigrating". As if whatever one chooses to do in their free time, that doesn't hurt anybody, and is just a little human drama in a watchable package that maybe we miss during day to day, as so much of a job life is dry, and that makes us connect to our inner humanity is "trash".
laws of nature always win at the end of the day. fundamentals are important, so long can a software saas company make money by selling software to other vc funded saas companies.

at one point the free money being thrown around then spent on saas, cloud and marketing with fb / google will be pulled back. and then we will see who's naked. it might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but it will happen.

hence buying a piece of a sound business like buffet does, will win at the end of the day. it's not glamorous but it will win.

agreed. it's wild how fast a potential operative jumps on this thread and gets hostile about people being upset over human rights violations.

human rights are not supposed to be just a "westerner" thing, it's human rights not western rights.

no person should be treated as subhuman. all people deserve a chance at being free no matter what nation they live in.

and if a organization decides they don't want to support a country because of human rights violations, then good. i support that organization for being on the right side of history.

Kudos! As oblivious bystander and no real tennis-knowledge apart from how the game is played, how much pressure will this put on China? How much weight does WTA carry? It will no doubt cause some media coverage no matter the outcome.
In Czechia we have "Hříchy pro pátera Knoxe" (Father Knox's sins) which is detective series (both in book forms and tv series) where the author deliberately breaks these ten rules (one in each story). You have to guess who is culprit and which rule was broken.
It's written by Josef Škvorecký.
The background on our side is that we did do quite a lot of profiling and investigation of the current evaluator - last year, informally, over video chats and IRC. We have a bunch of logs and various perf measurements spread out over some machines but right now the knowledge lives in our heads, mostly because at the time we did not expect this to spawn a serious project.

Once we get further along with the evaluator we will be incorporating some of that material into more specific blog posts, but it seemed a little too deep for the initial announcement.

Regarding that CL linked from the post: It was part of laying the groundwork for trying to have the same Nix language type backed by different implementations; the reason for this is that Nix's attribute sets (similar to dictionaries or k/v maps in other languages) have a wide variety of use-cases with wildly conflicting performance characteristics.

For example, one very common use-case is the data structure representing the top-level of nixpkgs: An enormous attribute set with many thousands of keys that is frequently modified & copied. An even more common one is related to the builtin function `listToAttrs` which deals with two-key attribute sets (name, value pairs). In current Nix, these are some of the biggest evaluator hotspots (apart from higher-level issues like cache-unfriendliness due to the tree-walking evaluation style) and optimising for one case vastly diminishes performance of the other.

The problem we ran into with all experiments of this form is that there is no clear interface separation in `libexpr` (the part of the Nix codebase that implements the evaluator): Everything is modifying and reading internal state of everything else, including in other parts of Nix that depend on libexpr. It made it basically impossible to really try anything without refactoring huge amounts of (memory-unsafe) code.

Now it's important to mention that the reason for this is understandable: Nix is an old project (18 years now I believe?) and I don't think anyone expected it to get to where it is now, so obviously different decisions were made in its implementation than would be made if it were started today knowing everything we know.
Publishing to Maven definitely works.

Updating SQL drivers, etc, is not trivial because you don't have control over the code, but if you have enough integration tests (or at least proper failure handling) for your separate library then you can update with the same frequency as microservices.

I think it's fine to do this thought exercise, but you're massively discounting the difficulties of microservices, while making up obstacles and mocking ("Franken-monolith") every other suggestion. Any company that doesn't already use microservices (and doesn't also have people with experience building infrastructure for them, rather than just using) is gonna have a harder time with a microservice solution than you currently do. It is perfectly fine to extrapolate from your own experience, but you're discount things without any research whatsoever and saying "nobody knows about it" or "nobody uses it" in a very disrespectful way. Another post of this discussion about code ownership is exactly the same: it takes literally seconds to write a simple codeowners file in GitHub, while you make it seem like it would be an Sisyphean task ("an uphill battle") compared with microservices just because you're not aware of it. Some things are not hard, maybe you just didn't heard of them yet.
Imagine maintaining a long-term project in the first place.

Such crazyness, like why?
what I mean is worse than having colir vareity: there can be 1000s of NFTs without any vareity, except for the index in the series.

this can be useful if you buy 1000 spots ("tickets"), and I guess it makes sense for artist to make limited edition prints... but with digital art is pointless.
i think that's kind of the point behind gpt style models, updates are cheap ... not only in terms of source material but also feedback on which suggestions are accepted.
> It was not gradual when the cathedral suffered a fire or a collapse.

Yeah, my point is that those are unusual events, resulting in bigger remodels and associated larger controversies, while even the more routine remodels tend to be controversial.

That is, while the event precipitating it may be somewhat unusual, the situation resulting from the precipitating event, including the large proposed modernizing remodel and the controversy over it, is not at all an abnormal result of such an event.
I fucking HATE the Instagram algorithm. Literally random order of stupid shit from 3-7 days instead of the newest releases. Whoever was in charge of this should get banned from programming or product design.

> C/C++ people may not always be the sharpest tools in the shed, and they may be a dime a dozen.

I feel like you're not entirely serious about it, but i'm not sure about the premise of that statement.

To me, it feels like C/C++ has a barrier of entry that's significantly higher than that of other languages: e.g. everything from JavaScript and Python to those like .NET and Java.

Wouldn't that mean that it'd be easier to learn and be productive in the latter and therefore those devs would be more abundant? Whereas to be capable at C++, you'd need a bit more discipline/patience/whatever and therefore there would be fewer developers?

I see the same in regards to Rust - many talk about it, those who are used to low level development often look into it or adopt it, however those that are used to the languages with a higher level of abstraction, don't venture into actually using it quite as often.

For example, in the JetBrains survey of 2021, about 6% of people used Rust in the past 12 months, but 7% of people are planning of adopting it: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2021/ Contrast that with C#, which was used by 21% and had the interest of 4% and Java, which was used by 49% and had the interest of 4%. There are probably better data points about this, i just found this vaguely interesting in regards to that argument. Of course, a counterpoint could be that Rust is new, but if it's so popular, then why people aren't adopting it more quickly?

Summary: regardless of the language being discussed (C/C++/Rust/...), i feel that there will always be fewer developers in the languages with lower level of abstraction, since they feel inherently harder.
