Funny how taste works - I feel the opposite.

In the case of a disease, there's really nothing she can do, and iirc the film implies the hard choice here was to decide to have a child even knowing that will die.

In the car of an accident, there is the feeling that she could literally have prevented her daughter's death by preventing the accident, but "chooses" not to. The free will implications of that are much more interesting imo.

This is probably a miscommunication issue. Waymo absolutely uses machine learning in the perception and prediction layers of the stack. Underneath that are a few layers of trajectory planning and controls code that don't necessarily need ML.

As for stack accuracy and predictability, they're active areas of research for everyone, and part of the secret sauce. There's lots of little mitigations scattered throughout everyone's stacks for various particular issues, but no silver bullet.
The point of https here is to serve as a guarantee that the content you see is the content that was provided by the server and not something that was injected by somewhere between the two ends of the wire. The idea that it should support ipad 1 or old game consoles is just as valid as the idea that websites should support internet explorer 6 or that the linux kernel should have kept support for the i386. No, it's almost 2022, even potatoes can deal with tls.
On large projects it can be integrated into the build pipeline, so in a sense it becomes part of the product compilation process, even if not on the local workstation.

I am a big friend to push good coding practices into the CI/CD configuration, regardless of the programming language.

Anyone can do whatever they feel like on their own computer, but the overall product has guidelines to follow, specially relevant in projects that live from changing consulting companies all the time.

It's even worse than that in my opinion: the zero value for maps and slices is actually nil even though they're not pointers, meaning the empty values are not the zero values. This lets you do "fun" things like this (my memory of the syntax might be slightly off):

```
var map1 map[int]int = nil
var map2 map[int]int = &map1
var map3 map[int]int = nil
```

Interface types also can be nil even if they're not explicitly pointers because heap pointers are needed under the hood due to the size of the value not being knowable at compile time. You can pretty quickly get into some hairy situations trying to ensure that a value isn't nil when combining pointers or maps/slices with interfaces.

I really wish that separating the concerns of present versus not present from value versus reference was more mainstream. I understand why this was traditionally the case for lower-level languages, but even higher-level ones like Java are mostly based on the paradigm that only references can be "not present". This irks me in a similar way to how earlier versions of Java wouldn't allow default implementations of interface methods and instead requiring abstract classes, which classes could not extend from more than one of.

It's not just about parties and voters. It's about two sides of society who became radicalized, leaving critical thinking for fundamentalism.

That is a really sad outlook to me. After decades in Enterprise IT, many in the public sector of Scandinavia you’d probably expect me to be a cynic, and if you go through my post history you’ll see very recent examples of what looks like it, but I’m actually always rather optimistic.

The healthy survival strategy in a world of shit isn’t to give up, it’s to fight on and hope for the best. It’s to come to the conclusion, that even though the road to hell is paved with good intentions, the fact that there are good intentions mean that the people actually wanted to succeed.

So while I’m very pessimistic, I’m also experienced enough to know that everyone is working for a better world.

In all my decades of working close to the political leadership and the top level decision makers, I can’t remember once meeting someone who wasn’t working for what they believed to be a better tomorrow. Maybe that’s a uniquely Danish trait, but I doubt it. What that good is, isn’t always what you or I would consider good, but my point is that even very evil decision makers are working for what they think is right.

The moment you become a cynic is the moment you lose your connection and with it, your ability to impact things. Because a manager who has the wrong view of your corporate culture, isn’t going to change unless you inspire them to be better and that applies to everyone.

Of course it’s hard to be optimistic as well. 98% or something like it of public IT system implementations fail to some extend, and if you expect them to succeed then I imagine it’ll be quite soul crushing. The key, to me at least, is to not let your pessimism turn into cynicism, because you don’t want to be the constant no-sayer either, you want to make your points and reservations clear, but then roll with the decision that gets made.
I personally find posting a link to a peer reviewed scientific paper to be useful regardless of author's motivation.
I have used urushi for both kintsugi and wooden ware and while I can't speak to your urushi in particular generally do not get it on your skin. Similar to other resins, even if you have no reaction initially the more you come in contact with it, the more likely you are going to have a reaction. It's quite common for craftsmen that have worked with urushi for years to suddenly become sensitized to it. Also, some people can have severe allergic reactions to uncured urushi so care should be taken if this is your first time working with it. This is a reaction to uncured urushi however, cured urushi is quite safe.

For use on wooden tableware I would suggest.

- 1 coat of urushi diluted 1/2 with pine turpentine. Apply liberally to allow it to soak into the wood then wipe the entire surface down removing excess. Place in a closed box with (but not touching) a wet towel (make sure it doesn't dry out) for roughly 1 week. The moisture + time will cure the urushi.

- repeat 1 or 2 times (or as many times as you like) with undiluted urushi letting it cure between each coat.

> but there's no utility value whatsoever to that power

If you think about it, what you actually mean is that you don't recognise the utility, not that there isn't utility there. If we do a classic comparison with gold, pretty much nobody gets any utility out of the gold, and yet a tonne of gold still has very high intrinsic value because it has just enough utility to some rare people.

> It could, but that value would accrue to the person selling the energy and/or the hardware, not whoever held the token at that time.

That isn't how anything else works. Little of the value of the economy accrues to the people who mine coal or oil, but they provide most of the raw grunt to make all of everything work.

The economy doesn't have to directly link creation of value to who gets rewarded.
> 4) music video of my own music. No samples or other copyrighted material contained. 5) another music video also with no copyrighted material.

This is probably the reason why. Was in a similar situation ~2 years ago when my 2006 YouTube account got banned. I was given the chance to appeal the decision where I had to fill out a form. In the form I wrote that I believe the reason I got banned was because of the music that was on my channel and that it may have looked like I was trying to share copyrighted music (I had download links in the description as well, btw). I closed my statement explaining that the music had no copyright.

One week later, to my surprise, the account was restored. Check your email and see if you got a link to where you can fill out the same form I did. Good luck.

I think the point is that it would be nice to be able to express the idea of a value not being present without having to risk accidentally trying to dereference a nil pointer. That's what Option brings to the table, although arguably Go could just provide an implementation of that like they do for slices and maps without actually having to introduce full generics to the language.

I think comparing computers (as in the PC definition) and phones is exactly the issue.

I’ve nothing against iPhone (I’m even writing this answer from one) but it’s designed for consumption, which is ok, for a phone.

But I think that, step by step, we are loosing the good ol’ PC. And to me the good ol’ PC with its apparent complexity, is basically the last open and hackable (on multiple levels) technological tool left to the masses.

PCs main feature is that it is an infinite-purpose tool. You can’t be an infinite-purpose tool without some apparent (but logical) complexity.

Simplification of PCs UX is not even needed anymore since it’s being replaced by other devices for the people that just want to consume.

Most of these programming languages when they were created did not have online connectivity or hackers as a threat.

If you have decided a priori that all historical preservation is just bad-faith NIMBYism, that’s kind of the end of the conversation.

Personally I think it is fine to leave to some kind of city process to decide which 19th century buildings to tear down, case by case, rather than just tearing them all down. In this case, the historical preservationists made their petition, but the city decided that their case wasn’t strong enough. Seems fine.

But if the process is working poorly in some places, then people in the city should press for fixes. (And if city officials are violating the law, they should be sued or prosecuted, as appropriate.)

Finding Bob Reich’s signature on a historical preservation petition for a 19th century building in his already mixed neighborhood (from what I can tell 2/4 corners at this intersection already have large multi-unit buildings) seems like an especially flimsy reason to write a screed attacking him for hypocrisy.
An experienced C++ programmer can learn Rust quite easily. The hard part (ownership & lifetimes) is what experienced C++ developers should already know by heart, but the primary difference is that the compiler enforces the same rules.

Nope. Unlike some better fields, the auto industry is incredibly tight-lipped about safety and crash structures. If these informal standards were to get out... and if the public were to know how well the industry has cornered the regulators, creating pseudo-standards that technically conform to safety protocols but functionally make no difference to consumer/passenger safety... there'd be riots.
They almost never break backwards compatibility, even if the legacy functionality is insane.

In this case, I do see it probably moving to behind some configuration flag at some point.
>" A cynicism frame and mindset that turns a lot of my life into a zero-sum game."

I don't accept the premise.

Is this cynicism or outright pessimism?

>"There was always this feeling that attempts at improvements are futile. If anyone tried to improve the system in any way, they will face a great opposition, and any value they bring forward will be immediately vultured away."

>"...if someone created a coin operated parking meter, another one will quickly figure out how to steal the coins out of it. Thus, the attempt to bring order will fail..."

Cynical take, "People will abuse this system"

Pessimistic, uncreative take, "Don't even bother. Better to exploit what presently exists than attempt to create. That's what everyone else is doing, therefore I must follow the status quo."

Cynical innovative take, "It could work but it needs to be secure. The best would be if we can gamify their greed..."
I think „why bother looking“ is actually defeatism. Maybe they are closely related, but I feel cynicism has more of an „I told you so“ ring to it. In that interpretation, cynicism would be about jaded expectations re the future, while defeatism would be (accompanying?) demotivation. I wouldn’t ascribe demotivation to every cynicist though.

> > “Zoning is racist and made by people like me who live here to increase my profit on my property. That’s [pro-housing activists’] line ...

You left out some important context there. The full quote from the article is:

"For a club that sees themselves as progressive, it is ironic that they are such strong advocates for strict zoning rules, a practice rooted in racism and designed to segregate neighborhoods.

This was actually a running joke in the meeting, which began when Welch sarcastically stated, “Zoning is racist and made by people like me who live here to increase my profit on my property. That’s [pro-housing activists’] line…tell that to the folks in Bayview-Hunters Point, the largest single family home owning area in the city.”"

As a former linux expert and sysadmin turned developer, I think this attitude is what pissed me off most about current developers. I thought I'd have a huge upper hand, understanding dark magic. Come to find out most developers don't know and don't care about any of it, and have infected the whole community with the idea that none of it matters and servers and processes are just cattle. /rant
The first thing, this isn't the first time Xiaomi has done something like this. Earlier this year they launched a WiFi 6E router, every single press ran their PR without fact checking and looking through the data. The router doesn't even support 6Ghz along with a few other optional features. After hours of searching, reading through spec apparently no one on the internet gives a damn, I wrote to Wi-Fi Alliance for clarification, and Xiaomi finally retracted their PR and relabel their router as WiFI 6 only.

The second baffling thing is how HN's react to USB-C and HDMI so differently. With USB-C / USB 4, more than half of HN expect the consumers to know which cables and port offer which features. It is the consumers's fault for not choosing the right cable or knowing what their port does. I dont see how that is different to HDMI here. All it takes is one bad actor in the market. And it will be a race to the bottom.

That is partly why Apple brought back MagSafe. You dont tell the user to go and find a USB-C 120W ( or 240W ) capable cable that may or may not be compliant to do quick charging.

You tell them to use MagSafe cable.
The converse is true, too. It’s absolutely sapping working with folks who’ll just repeat bullshit and call you a cynic for trying to helpfully point out the flaws in their thinking.

Historical status is not determined by financially conflicted neighbors, it's determined by historical societies.

My "pre determination" is that neighbors lie all the time another whatever they can to stop housing. This is a base fact.

If it's historical, there are professionals who determine that based on facts, not people who want to build financial walls around their house.

Still wondering why you brought up developers unless you're admitting that the historical status isn't actually about history but instead about stopping housing.
I am amused by the mental gymnastics deployed by Ethereum holders such as "It was meant to have high fees", or "High fees keep it decentralized".

I have seen this in my city recently. There's a fairly popular tourist street where they removed all car access, converting it to a pedestrian strip with a tram line. The businesses fought it aggressively because they thought customers would disappear along with the few parking spaces.

As expected by most sensible people, the opposite happened. More space for customers means they can access shops without cramming through busy footpaths, and enjoy the street itself more, spending more time there. Now it has more capacity and the businesses that opposed it seem to be doing very well.
As a current developer, what pisses me off about anyone is sweeping statements like this :(
