Given the CDC projected that more than 146 million estimated total infections of Americans with 1 in 4.0 (95% UI* 3.4 – 4.7) COVID–19 infections reported[1] I think the fraction of those vaccinated and developing myocarditis is even larger than the study shows vs. those who have had COVID and not in the 1 in 4.0 figure above (the other 3/4). That peak of myocarditis in the vaccinated would be even more lonelier at the top of the bar chart! The vaccines were first hopefully going to prevent the spread, remember that? Now we know they don't. They prevent serious illness and hospitalizations, however, as someone who had COVID, is unvaccinated, but is relegated to getting tested weekly and wearing a mask, while the vaccinated, who can spread infection as much as I could, is a travesty of fairness. My very healthy nephew developed myocarditis for 6 weeks a few days after getting vaccinated. My colleague at work twenty years younger than me, healthy, with two vaccinations less than a month old, developed a "break through" infection - what does that even mean anymore? He has had unusually high blood pressure for weeks after his infection. Then he just went and got boosted yesterday! There is no long-term, RCT studies, and the original control groups have been eliminated. Yeah, so test the guy every week with natural immunity and ignore that natural immunity because Fauci, the CDC, and big tech tell you to. Everyone is getting fed up. And now NYS passes mandatory masking again for adults, never mind, we have been forcing the least vulnerable, our children to mask up at school 6 hours a day. Don't tell me kids 11 and younger are at any significant risk unless of course they have a BMI over 35 and diabetes or another comorbidity. I hope the scientists of this Nature article aren't beat down by those who profess "Follow the Science" as they bury any narrative contrary to big pharma, big tech, and mainstream media.

Back in the day, I saw VCS game developers use two techniques:

1) they would start with a working kernel from an existing game, and incrementally modify it to create a new kernel for a new game.

2) they would code 2-dimensionally on large sheets of graph paper, where each cell corresponded to both a 6507 CPU cycle and a portion of the horizontal scan line.

By writing out the instructions this way, they could visually check that the code would execute at the correct time.
Again though, you have to qualify that.

This can be taken a few ways. I don't use Go, but I interact with Bash. So you're right in a sense.

I'd also never write a web-app in bash, nor a non-trivial program, nor anything that isn't a shell script. So is it really meaningful when people are looking for a language to write a GUI app, web app, mobile app or game in?

I agree with your general point, but the specific example isn't as egregious as you make it out to be. In the mid-90s, protocols for determining supported monitor resolutions were just coming out. The first widely-adopted protocol was DDC2, which wasn't standardized until mid-1996. Had Windows 95 or 98 defaulted to 1024x768@72Hz, a significant fraction of users would upgrade and find their display didn't work. To get a usable system, they'd have to figure out how to boot into safe mode and manually tweak the display settings.

A subscription can just be an account - it doesn’t necessarily have to be a paid subscription.
I think some specificity is needed.

To me when you write “we need work” is a social fact, I read “we need jobs/full employment.”

Work to me is a term that applies to any system doing a task; input->(processing)->output.

So like you’re saying, it’s “work” in a “biological sense” to learn wine.

Inherently we need to “work” but our social idea of work is arbitrary, a lot is busy work.

I don't know if SQLite + Raft is going to be the next Postgres, but it's certainly an interesting solution for a variety of use cases where you don't need your data _partitioned_ on multiple machines (but still want it to be replicated for availability and fault tolerance).

As others point out in this thread, there's already rqlite for Go, sqlite for C, and now we've open sourced our work on bringing SQLite and Raft to Rust: https://glaubercosta-11125.medium.com/winds-of-change-in-web...

Isn't the normal process, roughly, to:

1) Use unit tests to move quickly through to implementing The Feature
2) When The Feature is complete, run in a local environment to confirm it works
3) When that works, move The Feature to a development environment that more closely mimics Prod
4) Deploy to Prod

Each one of those steps takes an order of magnitude longer than the previous one, so should be done an order of magnitude less often. However if you are finding inconsistencies between steps, then alter local/dev to ensure more consistent testing. (i.e. if it works on Dev, it should just work on Prod, however there are always little issues).
I'm a programmer in Japan. This is completely normal.

It looks ridiculous to have English syntax mixed in with Japanese variables, not great for legibility.
Scripting? Ruby is an excellent scripting language. I find Python is an adequate scripting language by comparison
You need both. If you don't have unit tests your feed back loop becomes way too slow, but then you of course have to test the "real" running of the program properly before shipping. And you need at least one person who didn't write the code to test it.
> Literally nobody here is saying this.

This then demonstrates how hard it is to understand the full context of a comment from only the short post and, I hope, makes you appreciate how important it is to assume a more charitable interpretation.

As for the rest of your post: I think we are in complete agreement.
> Suicide isn’t a predestined thing that we’re helpless to prevent as a society. There is real suffering and we can do something about it in aggregate.

I agree with most of your comment but somewhat disagree with this. Suicide is not, itself, suffering. It's the result of suffering. David Foster Wallace compared suicide to jumping from a burning building; it's not that necessarily that jumping seems like a way out, it's something you are driven to because of your fear of the flames.

Speaking only for myself, as someone who has been depressed to the point of being suicidal before and still has recurrent bouts of strong depression, I find the obsessive focus on the issue of suicide unhelpful and hurtful. It is, so to speak, putting bars on the windows so that we have to face the flames instead. It is hard to convey to someone who hasn't experienced depression how it can turn every second of living into pure agony.

I agree that taking away easy routes to suicide is a good thing. I accept the research which says that most people attempt it rashly, though I don't think you can say that a low re-attempt rate indicates a rash decision. Suicide hotlines are good things. I do believe strongly that people have a right to die, including for persistent depression, if they so wish.

If anyone out there actually cares about depressed people, the best way to help them is to help fix the depression; give us a better way out than suicide and we'll take it. This means fixing healthcare in America, for example; a top-class universal healthcare system with support for mental health would do a world of good. Secondarily, making sure people have financial security - lift people out of poverty and homelessness. Give them access to community resources and activities. The fact that people are so willing to take on suicide as a problem, but not willing to resolve its causes pains me.
Homebrew's repo is still almost all Ruby with no signs of Go anywhere. A bit of Swift...

And fair enough, tools come and go. Ruby is still the best write-once language I've used though, and Rails is still a top web framework.

I cited the three most popular rankings. I don't know what else to do here.

My own personal experience as a CTO and startup investor: I haven't seen Ruby (or even met someone whose primary language is Ruby) in a long time.

I think it had a moment ~10 years ago when a lot of people started companies using Rails. Some of them still use it, most of them just went out of business.

It hasn't been big since then. It seemed to only ever have become popular in a fairly limited bubble of startups, especially in Silicon Valley.
As a father of two in that age group, I would prefer to restrict their access especially to my precious world of perfect tranquility.

Assuming teenagers and low 20 something's are the similar the world over, which I find a bit debatable, there still is the question whether there were or are better models to cope with puberty and coming of age for the individual and society.
As a CEO you would do this.

At the department level. Split them by probing for rifts between departments. Prioritize one group's project over another. Use department lack progress as dirt on that side's leadership. Get leader replaced and bring friendly face. Now both sides are friendly and open to better policies.

As a manager pretending to be CTO let them do what they want or you will be seen as the problem. Look for power shifts between departments and ally with the correct side. If your company wanted a strong CTO they would have hired or promoted someone. If you want to be in a position to be a strong CTO make powerful friends or get promoted and gather experience and win some awards.
I can see this as a bad thing in the following way:

1. They will most likely start making their API unusable similar to what Twitter did. Their Chat is already not available via the API and they are no longer open sourced.

2. They will most likely start banning porn or make it very hard to access (though Twitter seems to still allow porn accounts so maybe I am wrong here?).

3. MORE dark patterns in design. Their website is already super slow, tons of white space requiring extra scrolling (so more ads), needs extra clicks and too many ads which look like posts. Their site on mobile is useless and keeps asking to open in app. Ad blocker and 3rd party app solves this which gives them more incentive to break the API.

4. More censorship of anything remotely offensive.
> that removes means of suicide

No, it's ab out removing important equipment. Fans in hot weather really help if you don't have AC, As far as I know it gets quite hot in (all of) India. Now their fans are gone as a "hack" for some other problem. At the very least, life of those students will be more uncomfortable. Ceiling fans also have a number of advantages over others, like being mostly noiseless and creating vertical movement, so replacing them with desk fans won't be as good.

That's exactly the point. The common misconception that I am frustrated by, is that people compare their experience working on a pure-go project with pure-go dependencies to their experiences working on pure-python projects with non-python (e.g. c , or rust, or anything else really) dependencies.

So to illustrate: if you were to work on a pure-python project with pure-python dependencies, existing tooling (such as pyinstaller, or nuitka, or others) can provide single binary executables, just as easily as you can in go.
Right but 2 often ends up being perfunctory whereas if you can test routinely against the local environment you’ll see a lot more and for example course correct earlier. It depends on what you’d consider an iteration as well. I don’t think the loop is closed until you’ve seen your code running in situ. Unit tests might let you have more confidence that things will work at that point.

Running in situ could also be integration testing FWIW. Depends on what it is you’re making.
This engineering post is all for nothing given that Signal is still a centralized messaging service and still requires your phone number to sign in/up which means users are still vulnerable to SIM swapping attacks.

Hence this, the service can be 'shutdown' at any time, making Signal even more uninteresting to use. (Probably affected by the Log4J RCE stuff)

So from me, No thanks and no deal.
This is being down-voted, but there is merit to this. Tests should be audited for continued need.

It's a boondoggle. With a bonus effect of increasing deaths from extreme heat.

Now, it might seem rude of me, but I am against killing people that want to live in order to maybe save people that want to die.

In addition, 88 per cent of students said they did not think that “replacing ceiling fans with wall-mounted fans in all IISc hostels (would) help curb student suicide”.

I still say it's a boondoggle, the resources could be better spent elsewhere. However, this looks like a really small matter, one institute of learning a relatively small number of suicides. I'm going to relax and not worry about it.

Republicans in congress and in the executive were the ones pushing the conspiracy theories that our democracy was at stake and the election was stolen. Even after their lies had been disproven they continued the farce.

No, a micro page is a shorter, more concise version of a web page. It typically contains only the most important information and is designed to be easily navigated. A linking page, on the other hand, is a page that exists only to provide links to other pages on the web.
Rails 7 feels like Rails 1 again. So easy to get up and running, no Webpacker nonsense, back to plain CSS and JS (no SCSS, Babel, other pre-processors), plus lots of nice new features on the backend.
Unit tests are useful for some things. I can’t unit test my way to a game feeling good. For that I need a fast feedback loop to the real program. There’s more of that in most applications than most people suspect. And routes to get there. As programmers we make a lot of little decisions along the way and those don’t get proper consideration unless you can see that as the feature evolves.
It had a couple killer capabilities (to me). I did a lot of work with the Starling engine, and Away3D. And although this conversation is about browsers, a lot of my work was deployed via AIR, which still limps along, but I wouldn't invest in it now. Being able to deploy the same 2D/3D games on any platform and on the web with native GPU access is a killer app - and the best contender now is probably Unity. The ability drive fast vector animations without recourse to SVG or something, all within one dev environment and without many dependencies, provided an incredible workflow from artists to coders. Certain things that were taken for granted in Flash, like the native engine for determining mouse/touch position over layers and layers of different vectors (not bounding boxes) are still incredibly hard to replicate. Whole new platforms had to be written in JS to support these kinds of occlusions and improve rendering performance to a tolerable point. Things we have now like Pixijs would have absolutely destroyed the battery life on a 2010 iPhone.

You're spot on that Apple always wanted native code, and still do, but what small studio has time to write everything three times? The idea of deploying and maintaining totally separate code for a casual game on Android and iOS and the web is a deal-breaker for a 5-person team, and putting all your energy into one walled garden is not what's best for the developer.

One of the main things I do when doing any application security tests is - you guessed it - read the documentation and source code (if it's open source).

you know an odd realization I've had lately is that "discoverability" is a two edged sword, communities with their unique flavor built over time are great, however there comes a time when some place (in online or meat space) becomes too "popular" and the stories about the place start taking over the actual environment and behavior of the place, which then draws people expecting the story... basically a feedback loop.

there's a chance I think, that creating more "obscure" spaces might actually be the better option for preserving these kinds of communities, or at least letting them thrive more easily, reddit survived this long I think by being slightly difficult to navigate and having weird communities that could self police and there are still spots on there I enjoy, but none I really socialize in the way I originally did on finding the site.. anyways those are just musings and not really helpful to the question of how to fix it, just more of why I think it's broken...

They tend to not be useful and there is no major concept of privacy. I taught at one of these places and had a student who going through depression. She went to the counselor and was labeled as 'crazy' because word got out that she had seen a mental health professional. She ended up eventually leaving without completing her study. Another friend went to these when he was going through severe depression and was basically told 'Life is like this only, get used to it'.
