This is a rather outdated model for languages, for example the .NET CLR, Rust, Go, NodeJS, Python (and I believe the JVM?) all have module semantics or language specifications that describe how compilation units find each other, and the compiler () is responsible for mapping source files to import statements. The compiler is what is responsible for deciding which file is compiled and how it is configured to do so.

() or de facto standard build tool like Cargo

But that said the example is a little contrived since you wouldn't use a compile configuration to exclude a source file in most languages that have more flushed out module structures than C
I was determined to make #3 work for years. But despite a golden reputation for my IP, perfect dkim, dmarc, dns, and everything else, plus exclusively personal mail (no bulk mail ever) I could never get out of the spam box at several major providers. Never could figure it out, even with all the tools. Finally gave up.

I have come to suspect new MX servers are spam-holed by default until enough people click “Not Spam”, which is an absurd hurdle for a single user hobby server.
No, that was suggested but apparently they haven't done this.
From vaccination no, but from COVID it has been a concern right from day #1.

The Serbian Orthodox Church still hasn't done it. Eventually they'll have Christmas in July.
> children were largely unaffected by covid

The issue is not with that, it's with your second claim re: large risk with the vaccine. That's the claim that needs to be substantiated.
Hard disagree with this.

Yes, code should be easy to understand.

But well-written comments that explain assumptions and intent helps as code evolves over time.

Also, comments are quicker to scan than code itself.

A good comment can indicate code that can be ignored for the purposes of certain troubleshooting.

Finally, junior developers usually write code that is difficult to understand and don't comment.

I've rarely ever seen a junior developer that both writes unreadable code and takes the time to write comments.

Usually comments are a sign of seniority, someone who has pity on those who will come after him/her.

And thus that person tends to also write understandable code.

Perhaps there's an uncanny valley in between where comments are a band-aid for complexity, but I have never observed that in years of working with many developers.
I like developing open source and hate unions. I'm strongly opposed to any idea that might force me to join one.
It's probably more straightforward than that: the landlords just get a bonus for referrals.
Looking at the pictures it looks like Bucharest to me. At least it looks like the Bucharest my friends are living in (not the downtown Bucharest that tourists might stay at)
I am saying that the government raised interest rates substantially, one way or the other. It used couple of tools to do it, one of them is promising expected dollar appreciation as interest. (Tl is expected to depreciate at least at the rate of inflation, which substantially higher then central banks overnight rate, hence they have increased interest)
"We need to talk about X" is a clickbait-y headline that I just never click on anymore. A one-line summary of the main idea would be much more interesting and useful.
I really like it. Gives a creative outlet to hobbyists, the ones that like to make cozy collages. The web is really boring looking nowadays with all these standards so thanks for making something that lets creators be chaotic and imaginative. I think your numer of users speak for itself.cheers
Why is Attrs incorrectly capitalized in the headline? Is that an automatic feature of the software?
Good. A few years back, I was having questionable symptoms that pointed towards ALS, and my neurologist made the mistake of telling me.

The two months between that day and the round of tests that were able to prove his theory wrong were very easily the worst of my life.
Google workspace sends yes/no meeting confirmations that you make in workspace, to people within your own organization, to spam unless you specifically make a rule to allow them.
Public school is much a place to dump kids so that both parents can work full time - this is how it’s utilised in reality. Otherwise there would be a cutthroat market for parents education spending - but almost everyone leaves the child in the closest school they don’t have to pay for.

Some would say separating state and school is equal or greater in importance, than separating state and church.
You’ve already had a lot of comments to the same effect…

But I certainly don’t mind my developer tools taking more power since that’s what I’m using my computer for. When it comes to things like Slack/Teams, where that is not the primary function of my workstation (and, by it’s nature needs to be running on everyones computer) I get more annoyed at wasted resources.

Those are secondary functions of my computer.

Web browsing, instant messaging, email. These things should be as lean as possible to get out of the way of my real work, wether that’s after effects or photoshop or visual studio (the fat one).
Many of these restrictions were put in place because the effects of Omicron were uncertain when they were decided. If these early results bear out, I'm sure we'll start seeing the easing of some restrictions again very quickly.
You might not long contracts, but there exist lawyers who do. Contracts will get shorter as soon as there is a consequence for writing contracts of excessive length. I.e., never.
The assumption that asking for the removal of what is essentially discriminatory somptuary laws amounts to asking for apostasy is your own. Internal religious regulations have no bearing on the law and whether or not they're essential to religious practice is of no consequence to civil society. Keep in mind I'm referring to a system where universities are public institutions, emanations of the State, rather than private foundations as is usually the case in the US.
If there is money to be made from it then it will be done. The material is already in space making it much easier to use on space ports than lifting material out of our gravity.

My question is how do we prevent people from using their space cars from dragging asteroids back to earth and extorting people out of money in exchange for not lobbing the rocks down to the planet? Will we have a space defense force that watches for people doing dumb things?
Is this before the project success or after?

Hi Josh. I should've specified I meant the postfix documentation here. MiaB was wonderful, save for maybe skipping one Ubuntu LTS and leaving not quite a lot of time to migrate.
The Fed isn’t doing that because it’s an extreme change that would wreck the economy. Or at least, so many people believe. Why do you think you know better?
> “…it is usually a very good idea to defer to expertise.”

this is exactly what i’m pointedly disagreeing with. expertise gives you no such esteem to have others defer to you by default. what it does confer is an expectation of novel (to the non-expert) information and perhaps reasoning, but explicitly not deference. we are all often wrong, especially in our areas of expertise because of the disproportionate amount of time we spend in that area. have some humility that you may bring a relatively unique or more considered perspective to the table, but not infallibility or almighty ‘truth’.

and earnest consideration of an ‘expert’ opinion is the best you should hope for. all the rest is by definition beyond the realm of science and into the realm of (small p) political. that is, expertise signalling is always an appeal to authority, no matter the magnitude or centrality of the claim. only the reasoning/evidence matters, not the titles of the person presenting them. you may expect some correlation there but should never assume it.

(note that i’ve also scienced in my past life, if that meta-information matters to you in the way you seem to believe it should.)
I'm not sure why we wouldn't be able to go back to normal, and taking a stance that we never will strikes me as somewhat defeatist.

I'm more of an optimist. Having a small percentage of the population that's at greater risk of serious implications from infection (respiratory or otherwise) is something we've learned to live with before (see: the flu) without masks, mandates, or dramatically rearranging the way we live.
What you need is dhcpcd. I use dhcpcd on Linux as well, rather than systemd-networkd. It's better and doesn't come with any hardcode Google or Cloudflare DNS servers as systemd-networkd does.
This is just such an exceedingly weird opinion. "Permanent revolution" sounds very romantic, but real people want to stop and lives their lives, as well.

Once you've convinced the broader industry of the benefits of FOSS, I'm not sure everyone has to be a radical anymore. I think GPL advocates/FSF/Stallman's time might be better spent finding a way to pay FOSS developers.
Some language servers (e.g. PyRight) also regularly consume 2GB RAM for me when using Emacs. Also, for some languages, their IDEs are just way ahead of the competition (e.g. Java). Even for e.g. Rust CLion works really well.

(I probably use Emacs and JetBrains products 50/50. I prefer the keybindings of Doom Emacs, but prefer the JetBrains IDEs for actual development. E.g. refactoring is a lot easier.)
Otoh, the us was able to maintain the status quo with the taliban being relegated to the mountains with 3500 troops against ~75000 taliban. The DOD has over 1 million troops at their disposal. If you seriously think Afganistan was more about absolute power vs political willingness.. I just don't know what to say.
It would seem fairly important to actually ask the grandmas what they think about this, rather than decide on their behalf.

The four elderly members of our immediate family are all fairly adamant that the young have suffered enough, and "hell, yes" they want to see their grandkids, and no, they aren't asking about vaccinations and negative tests.

I'm minded to respect their opinions.
JWST is driven by the size of the mirror, the need for an IR instrument and the temperature you need to keep the instrument at to do the observations. Spamming a bunch of hubble-sized instruments up into orbit won't accomplish the same thing. And I don't think you can do space VLBI in the optical/IR or it would have been done already (but I don't know why?).

It is kind of like asking why 5 Ford Rangers can't replace one Lamborghini or something.
"You should not have to recompile your document 2 or 3 times... References / bibliographies don't work the first time through..." If you think about it, you'll probably see why. Cross-references can't be set until you know what they refer to, which may be later on in the doc ("see section 8 below"), and setting such references (or citations) can change the page numbering. If the multiple passes (which are analogous to the multiple passes a compiler makes) bother you, then use a tool that hides them from your eyes, like arara. That's probably what Word does under the hood.
Personally I hate launching anything around the Christmas period.

I get your point but I disagree. It is hugely difficult to gain new citizenships and residencies. It takes huge amounts of money and effort to overcome these obstacles for most people.

Whereas there are a million internet forums and mostly anyone can join any one of them for free. Maybe they don't have the same quality of conversation as here (although quite a few others do) but if the thing he hates (captialism, investment firms, etc) produces a culture where the quality of conversation is so high that nothing else can compete, shouldn't that be it's own signal?
> why everyone seems to hate it to death

This isn't universal. For service management systemd is awesome, and has been way more enjoyable to use than any other system (Ubuntu's upstart, Solaris's SMF, FreeBDS, and old-school linux init). As a sysadmin my only issues with systemd have been occasional patches that required rebooting, but these have practically disappeared in the last few years.
I actually have had the speedometer break on my car. There's no idiot light to tell you it's broken, let alone that it's going to break.

I've got this idea that, given some R&D and technological advancements, an advanced military could drop 'dust sensors' over a future battlefield, or entire country.

Each particle of dust is a tiny computer with simple sensors, near field laser beam directed stealth communication node, FOF identification sensor, and maybe more. Soldiers could plug into this network (all properly encrypted, yadayada) en see and listen to the enemy. Dust covered vehicles could be tracked as long as they stay in a well-dusted area.

The idea is not that the enemy cannot see that you've 'dusted' their country/battlefield, but that you've dropped so much of this self-organizing sensor dust that they cannot block it all.

I'm assuming that the dust could be radiation hardened against EMP or other area of effect 'cleanup' measures, and that they are powerful enough to run proper cryptographic code, to ensure proper functioning of FOF and the communications.
In most sane countries there are strong limits on contracts for ordinary things such as renting, employment or purchases and most creative clauses you would come up with would simply be invalid if ever challenged.
I think the meeting of the minds happens at the point where it reaches what the customer should know. That is, the customer is not only agreeing to the T&C, they're agreeing that they should know what is contained in the T&C (even if they don't really know).

But the point you're trying to make touches on contract ergonomics (is that even a thing?) and why I try to make contracts that are as short and to the point as possible. Maybe some lawyer will tell me I'm making a mistake, but of course it's a mistake not to rack up billable hours ;)

Most people are making an agreement in good faith. Bad actors will exploit a three page contract or a one thousand page contract.
So yes, I'm aware of analysis like this.

I think my point is, even "polluting" your brain with analysis like this of a language will make it actually hard. For example

> Japanese kanji is a moderately different level of burden

If you didn't read this, you wouldn't actually go into it thinking of it as a burden, and it would turn out to not actually be a burden. The fact that "even" native speakers from time to time have to ask how to pronounce something is just a fact of life, and not a difficulty of the language, but observers have come to think of it as a burden for some reason. But now that you've read that it is a burden, it will be a burden to you.

I have pretty firm conviction that "hard" is very much influenced within some range by how hard you a priori think it is, and that logic is not the way to approach this. Rather, being blissfully unaware of any logical or linguistic experts' arguments around how hard others think something is will actually help you learn the language much faster and more efficiently.

> going to be easier to learn than one that doesn't.

> There are multiple Slavic or Chinese sounds

> Some phonemes are legitimately more difficult to pronounce

> literally scars your vocal tract

> demand that you pay attention to

Without any intent to personally attack you, because a LOT of people have logical arguments such as the above, it's quite literally even hearing such logical descriptions of languages which may make something extremely hard. We aren't fully logical creatures, the languages we invented aren't designed to be logically analyzed.
talk to the mods -- I vouched for this comment as I don't think you are trolling but I think your early comments have you with negative karma which I think defaults you to dead.
I read it whole and also found it to be not enjoyable.
In my case I mostly listen to audiobooks and take notes. My top 3 favourites based on the amount of notes taken for this year:

Creativity Inc:
Fun read about the conception of Pixar Studios and why having a different process amd focus than other studios have led them to create so many award winning films. Ties in to some other books on adapting the process in order to generate better/more creative outcomes that have influenced me.

Immune:
With everything going on this year it felt appropriate. Explains to a layperson how your immune system functions and who the main players are. I had to take quite a bit of notes and read up/look at quite a few pictures/train using flashcards in order to make this info stick. I'd highly recommend anyone considering this book to get the physical book rather than the audiobook.

How to avoid a climate disaster:
Bill Gates explains the key metrics a layperson should keep in mind when climate policy is discussed. I recommend creating a cheat sheet to remember it better. While it felt informative I dont really like the fact that Bill Gates is the author rather than some climate scientist. I tried to reduce my bias by reading some more climate change related books written by subject experts after this one.
you can do that with namedtuples too; the problem is that tuples are immutable, so you cannot say e.g. `my_point3d.x = 10`
Oh, American natives didn’t forget either, same way the Chinese never forgot about Japan and Russians about Nazis, but it doesn’t change the fact it’s all ancient history.

Also, don’t get me wrong, but Ukraine doesn’t exactly have good relations with USA either. Remember how twenty years ago they promised you protection if you give up your nuclear weapons? They screwed your over. Now they are denying you NATO membership, for the same reason. They are really good at propaganda though.
interestingly I have seen the UI design choice to prevent you from agreeing to the T&C unless you at least scroll all the way to the bottom of it (not a guarantee you've read it, however). noticed this recently with the official apple app to find nearby airtags on android.

Yes, mesmerizing how it moves quickly across land and in snow and water as well, I wonder how much faster such a propulsion design could be optimized to move, and why it has not been explored more for full size off-road vehicles etc. I wonder if it's the actuator/software control system that is easier to build now, as it looks like that is where the magic is in moving efficiently in the water, and on land.

Riot Games did this one year for April Fools in League of Legends. Normally you can play a 5v5 match against other players, beginner bots, or intermediate bots.

For April Fools, they rolled out "Advanced Bots", which were actually another group of 5 humans, but with their username replaced with "<Character> Bot". Word got out pretty fast, but it was super funny queuing up for a game you'd normally win easily and being surprised at how smart those bots have gotten...
I bought an Oculus headset before it required a Facebook login. I haven't used it since that requirement was added. The metaverse I envisioned comes from William Gibson and Neal Stephenson, not a sanitized and sexless universe where Code of Conducts written by Home Owners Associations are strictly enforced and LinkedIn type interactions are the norm. Bill Gates recently said all business meetings would be on it in three years. I don't like to criticize people personally, but billionaires have so much power I think it's ok: Bill G is not exactly a tech visionary, famously having to rewrite his book "The Road Ahead" because he missed the internet happening. I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg loves it because his personality already seems blank and smoothed over like an avatar. Do I want to live inside a sappy television commercial where Coke teaches the world to sing and everyone smiles and expresses only approved virtuous thoughts? Nope.
Yes, it is discouraging. This is a reason why fixed income investments are quite unattractive right now. But there is a lag. After many years of low inflation many people haven’t changed habits yet. We still don’t expect that much inflation.
Yes. There needs to be a very good reason for me to pull in a third party library (in this day and age, given supply chain attacks, etc.). I don’t see what Attrs gives me that dataclasses does not.

>10kmph faster in town could be the difference between killing someone or not hitting them at all.

I think of the difference between hitting someone and not hitting them as measured in distance, not speed.
The restrictions largely don't have any effect anyway, if you compare different US state policies with health outcomes.

Especially something like a travel/flight ban, as if that can stop an exponentially spreading virus.

There are many people in NASA and around that have made similar arguments.

I think the real reason that they never have a lot of traction, sadly, is that if you propose 3, Congress will give you 2. And then when 2 are over budget, it will get trimmed to one. Better to propose one big mission and get it to the point where it can’t be cut easily.
I tried to start a language learning app that would use product placement within lessons to make it free. The idea was to have VR style real world lessons such as how to order a beer - "I'd like a Heineken please".

I took it pretty far. My cofounder had a Phd in Computational Linguistics, we had professors from U of M as advisors, I got us into an accelerator, we built a working prototype, and I had several big ad companies interested.

The problem was that Duolingo came out at the exact time. Then due to our concept being immersive / media heavy, it required a lot of funding to build a v1. Ultimately, investors didn't think we'd be able to compete with Duolingo and we couldn't raise the funding.

I started the company almost 10 years ago now.

> There is a gaping chasm between what users say they'll pay for and what they will actually pay for. Especially in social media.

More like "I'm paying for it... What have gone so bad in my life that lead me to do it". Most of the social media content is too expensive even if we get it for free.
See this is where you have gone wrong - professors are not teachers. At a certain age, it's sink or swim.
