From conversations with medical professionals: Antibiotic “misuse” is one of the most frustrating things in the field. They’re taught about antibiotic resistance in school, but then contribute to the problem by overprescribing it. The y describe the circumstances that patients (and parents) just want “a pill” to solve “a problem”, and that while the doctors know that it’s a viral infection, they still prescribe the antibiotics to placate the patient/parent. Further compounding the problem.

They’d be better just prescribing placebos or “drink some ginger garlic tea and rest”

That is not idiomatic code: it is an auto-translated code straight from C.

You are judging Rust by looking at what idiomatic C code looks like in Rust.

It is risky without a drop-in fuel.

There is a significant, recent milestone on the journey here: https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/faa-approves-600-engines...

That accounts for around 25% of the gallons sold per year, but the underlying engineering is in better shape than that first step regulatory approval indicates. (The fuel has been running in the test cell and flying in the higher-powered, tighter-margin engines for years already with the airplanes in the experimental-R&D category.)
The FAA just approved a blanket lead free replacement. It's still being rolled out but it shouldn't be an issue for much longer.
I’ve built toy games on Unity and I work in 3D in advertising.

You misunderstood what I said.

1. I never suggested that game assets would be interchangeable between games. An NFT is just a record of you owning something - that can be completely different items in different games. That was literally my entire point.

2. Yes that’s my point. Everyone but Ubisoft would have to build unique assets.

3. Perpetually up to date? You only have to do it once with an NFT, that’s it’s entire point. The blockchain handles this. I ask you back - are you familiar with blockchain tech and NFTs and how that works ?

4. I agree it’s not a great idea, but it could be done. You could theoretically airdrop matching NFTs to make your own marketplace. The point is - Ubisoft can’t silo the information on who owns what gun/skin since the NFTs are stored in a public ledger (blockchain). If you make an indie game to compete with R6 you could in theory reward all R6 players with matching NFTs (non infringing the copyright by making them different assets, but still valuable and in matching number in your game economy).

BASICALLY The NFTs are microtransactions, but with data portability. They are the exact same thing, just held in a decentralised database that Ubisoft does not control (if they are up on the regular Tezos chain). This is the same as the old microtransactions, just a bit better.

Imagine you stopped playing R6 after sinking hundreds of hours into it. You could sell off the skins you've earned, making it a return on investment of your time in the game.
C is easy to read and follow though. Rust has far more syntax and as a language is way beyond the complexity of C.
Ah that is why Go has such a great design for generics, and Zig already has the ideal solution for use-after-free errors, got it.
I mentioned that in passing. Something like that would be preferred but Ansel is Nvidia-specific and only a relatively small number of games support it. https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/geforce-experience/game...

I'm curious as to if Cuba still uses leaded gasoline, as quite a few years ago I spent a night in Havana during a cruise and some sight-seeing around the old city.

> In reaction to the antibiotic resistance problem and with treatment options dwindling, public health officials attempted to control antibiotic usage as a means of controlling resistance (20). The expectation was that rates of resistance would diminish as antibiotic usage dropped. However, resistance persisted even in the face of such drug management practices on both small and large scales (20–23).

This makes perfect sense to me. Why did this not work? The article continues with an explanation of "the ecological fallacy" but I don't understand how the two are supposed to be connected.
Also, I'm fairly convinced that when they chose not to take Epochs for C++ 20 they sealed the long term fate of the language.

Epochs was the only halfway practical way to attempt the ever elusive step B of the "Smaller, better C++" idea, the part where you toss away all the stuff nobody needs. For many years now, the protestation has been that it's a great idea but first a few more things must be added. And then a few more. And a few more. Bjarne himself has a laundry list. Adding things to C++ is extremely ugly but it can be done and is still being done. However removing things is hard, and Epochs proposed a practical way to begin that work. It was shot down and I think years from now a C++ post mortem will pronounce that as at least contributing to the outcome if not outright the primary cause.

Epochs would have been really hard to do in C++ 20. But it isn't getting easier and the will to attempt such a thing seems to me to be finite.

In essense, what the original Alexa did seems to have been internalized into Amazon ads (or their b2b analytics division), which is coincidently the fastest growing part of Amazon.

I was certainly aware of unikernels (on a pretty superficial level) when I started Mu. A shared goal is minimizing attack surface. However, Mu also has a second goal: minimizing the build time supply chain and making it more auditable. There Mu has more in common with http://bootstrappable.org which is building https://www.gnu.org/software/mes. In service of this goal I've ended up leaving all C behind.

As I understand it, unikernels want to let you bring your own application sources, and try to compile it to their substrate. Mu requires you to build your application for it. There's no compatibility with anything beyond the x86 instruction set (and Unicode).
You sound like someone from the church shouting down a heretical scientist.
> Be as it may, I've seen the 'fake 3D' claim before and I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing something in my understanding of this technology, maybe someone can offer a third opinion?

I agree that all 3D is 'faked' in the sense that it's drawn to a 2D grid of lights eventually, I guess it just depends on where in the pipeline you make that fundamental transformation. I only meant faked in that the GPU itself is 2D, whereas the GTE is just math. So it's kinda like doing CSS transformations to make a web page all 3D-looking (a gross understatement I know, but, nevertheless). Though, semantically, I guess the '3D' part of a modern GPU is also 'just math'. Well now you've got me thinking about it harder...

Wonderful article by the way! I've read yours a few times myself.

No no no, I know that it is not idiomatic code, it says in the URL: "transpiled". I am just telling him to practice using it. I was not judging Rust at all.

That said, idiomatic Rust is difficult for me to read/understand as well. I do not expect device drivers in Rust to be readable (by me), and if they have lots of unsafe blocks then we are back to square one I would say.
Have you ever tried to get something you built deployed into a company where you work?? I didn’t learn the lesson the first time so I’ve tried it twice.

If it goes badly, get ready for a fight. Some cats gain psychological comfort out of knowing everyone is doing exactly as they’ve been told. If you have one of those in your leadership chain, they’ll start questioning every single thing you have ever done. If it goes down this path, you’re fucked. You either shouldn’t have used it at all or you should have told them six months ago.

It doesn’t matter if you only built it three months ago.

If it goes well, you get to go through “code reviews” so it can be rolled out to everyone. But these aren’t the kinds of code reviews that help, they’re the kinds that demonstrate precisely why the company wasn’t capable of building it themselves. If you pass that stage, you’re the maintainer but since you built it on your own time, you can support it on your own time too.

If you make it through that stage, that’s when the feature requests start rolling in. No matter what you built, it will become a time/productivity tracker. That’s around when you start losing relationships with coworkers. You’re management’s bitch but they don’t see that. Instead, you’re the dude whose ‘simple’ tool got shoved down their throats because you want to be VP Eng when you grow up.

Humans are fucking weird. If you ever want confirmation, try to help…:)
Basically all older houses in the Northeast US--which as you say is many of them--have lead paint to greater or lesser degrees. (As well as elsewhere of course. It's just that the average age in the Northeast tends to be older.) If you get new windows installed for example, the installers just assume they have to take lead mitigation efforts. There's really not much you can do about it other than covering it up with new paint.
Just bought a 1985 home in rural Michigan with well water, testing for lead was never required by any part of the process. Post-sale I paid for a detailed water analysis, about $200, which found 4PPB of Lead. I called a few plumbers and they weren’t willing to do any inspection or make any recommendations.

It cost about $6k in total to install a (Kinetico) water softener & RO system to remove it from my drinking water.

I previously lived in Flint during the early few years of the changes that introduced high lead levels in the city drinking water. I tell this to doctors but they suggest there isn’t any tests they can do, as it is deposited into tissues and bones and not really found in blood tests, that such tests are typically for children.

I guess I’m just saying there is no doubt I’ve had a great deal of lead in my drinking water throughout my life so I think a lot about how it shaped me and the communities I’ve lived in, how it shaped my experience with school and work.

How many people are being treated for anxiety, anger, or depression in a seemingly incurable medicated loop, all the while unknowingly exposed to lead?

Anyway as a PSA, I suggest that you should only believe that your water is lead-free when it has been tested directly from the tap and you have a report of 0PPB. Landlords and home sellers have a financial incentive to ensure that such testing is never done, and if lead is found, I don’t know what can be done other than pulling out your wallet one way or another

Money is the medium of transaction of human needs and desires. Profit causes global warming only in so much as it fulfills human needs and desires for light, heat, transportation, industry, and energy in general.

Your argument is not with profit but with human nature, which in its infinite ambition always desires more. Removing the profit motive is like shooting the messenger, your fundamental issue remains unaddressed. Easy evidence for this is that communist societies are by no means greener or less rapacious than capitalist ones.

It has a weird cascading effect. At one time I lived alone and absolutely loved my two closest coworkers...spent the day laughing and chatting and genuinely loved going into the office each day. If you asked me at that time, I'd have been a 5 day office vote.

Over a few months the company allowed remote, and those quit showing up. And in turn, I quit showing up, and became a '0 day office' vote.

I'm interested to see how many others go through something similar when companies start return to office options.
We do hear about prosecutions, and the sites are run by criminals (as operating such sites is a criminal act). The police are better resourced and better able to identify users than almost all the forum operators, and in any case I doubt the majority of forum operators are interested in shaking down their users.
Like somebody else said, it depends on what you are optimizing for, your goal.

Common goals:

* career mobility

* competence

* leadership

For career mobility get really good at doing beginner level things. Master the trendy tools and leet code for interviews. Your goal is to become the best expert beginner. You may never become the kind of developer who innovations amazing new solutions, but you can always find employment. Your only hope of eventual advancement is to exchange software work for management.

For competence you need to dig a little deeper into the foundations and core competencies of the technologies you are working. Increased competence is equal parts brilliance and discipline in that you are constantly solving for ever more challenging problems in order to provide ever better solutions often entirely of your own initiative. You will think in terms of portability and execution performance. If you are working in an area mostly populated by expert beginners your disdain for convenience will make you an extreme pariah. Your career mobility will be severely restricted, but with the right opportunity you can have a more fulfilling and rewarding career.

For leadership I strongly suggest you abandon software for a line of work that is more leadership focused such as operations, logistics, emergency response, military, and so forth. No matter what industry you are in leadership boils down to asset management, planning, and communication. You can always come back to the software industry later once you have experience as a strong leader operating at the director level.

As for specifically what to study you won't have any trouble finding the correct content once you know what you want to become.
Don't twist my words, I never said that you were a gullible idiot. I said that using the term "transferring value" is inaccurate and pompous, and that you are using marketing buzzwords. And I stand by that, "transferring value" is an example of a marketing buzzword. It's not a descriptive term, because what is being transferred is digital tokens, which may or may not have value. Whether they have value is irrelevant as far as the technology itself is concerned. I don't have anything against you personally, but this is the way I see it.
On the other hand, subsurface is now mostly C++ (mostly due to a GUI framework written in C).
Exactly what a devout believer of the market ideology would say. The market is a social construction. If you can't imagine a different social arrangement then nothing will change and the planet will continue to become less and less habitable for people.

This is untrue in the starkest sense. Please don't make stuff up and then present it as fact.

Embeddability was a major goal for Gecko at the outset. It's the reason for many of the architectural decisions that exist today (past the point where that goal has been abandoned).

The US Federal Government spends ~1 Trillion dollars on various welfare programs per year. The James Web Space telescope program has costed $11B over 25 years. Or roughly ~0.04% of the total amount spent on poverty elimination / management programs in the same period. The argument that "space-exploration is too expensive, we should eliminate poverty instead" is pure nonsense when comparing the scales of the resources applied to those two issues. I fail to see how increasing welfare spending by 0.04% at the expense of the James Webb program would be in any way beneficial.

A dream come true influenced and inspired by The Patriot Act ethos.
In 2014 I consulted my father, a lawyer, in writing an amicus brief to a lawsuit relating to lead exposure in baby food.

Basically, lead exposure testing in food can have highly-variable results because of how the particles adhere to the food substrate, variability between food batches, and the way the exposure tests work. Because of this, lead exposure testing generally involves testing several samples and taking the mean to estimate the real level of exposure.

Despite several samples showing high levels of lead, the defense got off by claiming that the geometric mean was the correct average to use to infer the total exposure. This is obviously incorrect because the geometric mean is a multiplicative mean. With a geometric mean, all you need is one sample with lead exposure close to 0 to get a mean that's close to 0, even if all the other samples tested positive for extreme levels of lead exposure.

Just as a sanity check, we checked official literature on food toxicology, and every resource we could find stated that using arithmetic mean was the correct methodology, and not one mentioned geometric means.

The defense ended up winning the case, which is absolutely horrifying because 1.) baby food is the most dangerous product imaginable to contain lead and 2.) now there is a legal precedent to defend yourself against lead exposure claims using total BS statistics.

Edit: thankfully, it looks like the FDA is getting involved now https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2021/10/01/baby-foods-co...
There was at least one IBM machine that had a similar "feature".

It could run in slow-mode or fast-mode. Always-on fast-mode cost more per month than slow-mode. (Yes, these machines were leased, not sold.) However, you could get "fast-mode" on an as-needed/hourly-basis, for a "small" fee of course.
This is a common confusion. My argument is with profits and not with human nature because human nature is malleable. People can change their eating habits, they can change their transportation habits, they can change institutional arrangements that favor profits over well-being, they can change the forms of market transactions they find valuable.

This isn't anything deep. These are just basic facts.
When I search "30 Rock," four of the top results are pay services to consume this content. (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and NBC.) Do you view those as bait and switch? I.e. should those shows either be free, or Google should banish these from search?

Today I wanted to search for "strstr[a-z]+?_r" but got the error message "This is a partial result set. The search was stopped early because it would take too long to check every file for this regular expression.". However, I got results for the less restrictive regex "strstr.+?_r" which is weird since I'd expect that it would be easier to return results for more restrictive regular expressions. Not sure if there is a perfect solution for this, but in many cases, you could probably search for the less restrictive version and filter the results with the more restrictive one after that.

Also it would be great if more repositories were indexed. How do things work behind the scenes? Maybe it is possible to build a more memory-efficient index just for exact string search, which probably make up most searches.

Anyway, this website is amazing and I use it quite often. Thank you a lot for working on this!
It seems like a stretch to say that the existence of those images causes harm;

Not a stretch at all; I'd recommend you so some reading into the stories of the many, many people whose lives have been permanently upended (or worse - there have been many suicides) after finding leaked images of their abuse (or simply revenge-dumped images of consensual relations) posted in easily searchable websites.

As to the rest of what you're saying -- "There are too many, computers, we'll never really be able to completely stop this" -- look, it's a matter of degree and ease of access. Just because we can't bring the effective visibility of these archives down to zero -- doesn't mean we can't reduce it very substantially, down 90 percent or more from the current level.
