Not at all. The papers where I was first author were essentially 100% all my work. Second or third authors were advisor and a committee member that helped edit, closely read proofs and pseudocode. Certainly helpful and deserving of authorship but a steep drop off in contributions from first author (me) to them.

Advisor had family in Europe (I am in US), and would use these conferences to create extended family vacation plans.

Of course when I think back on this I am still pissed! But years have passed and I am doing well in my career. I am able to not get too fixated on it.

And yes, I agree with the people saying it was terrible and very wrong. In terms of all the possible terrible and very wrong things that can happen to a graduate student this is maybe, in the grand scheme of things, about mid-range maybe?
Rider for sure. I commonly see mistakes in code reviews that likely wouldn’t have happened if they were using an IDE that provided more information.

Once Rider and dotnet core liberated my work from Windows, I don’t see myself going back to VS unless there’s some technical reason it’s use is required.
I’m never going to remember a domain with a silly tld. I don’t necessarily think badly of the company when I see a link to one (I mostly think “fuck you ICANN”) but it is anti-memorable.
> By my count, the country has produced two cultural works over the last four decades since reform and opening that have proved attractive to the rest of the world: the Three-Body Problem and TikTok.

I think a lot of people simply cannot wrap their head when they view from the Western angle. As a result, they sometime just fixate on some main-stream idea without realizing that those views are from limited exposure to the ground.

It's true that China has not produced much other attractions than 3body and tiktok, even 3body is heavily influened by US SF writing, and tiktok is originally produced in US by musically. The point is that these productions are easier to be accepted by the Western socieity, because they themselves are linagage from the western tradition, with a more tainted cultural identity than the indigenous stuff.

In reality, China have produced enourmouse amount of culturally diverse and innovative work for the domestic audiance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWdkAyt9Q2A I'll give you one example of a recent production of a Cantonese opera mixed with modern filming tech of the classic Bai She Zhuan. And Pop star signing Song Dynasty Chi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t9VT9Dwiqg.

Of course, these color productions are very distant from the Western cultural heritage, and people from the West simply cannot appreciate their wonderfullness and depth.
Valid, random inputs is still fuzzing, which is what the person you are replying to was sharing with the quote from Wikipedia.

I think it's valuable to at least have some extremely basic knowledge of these topics, to allow you to barely follow along when someone brings up sportsball or TV shows. You don't need to know specifically whether or not the Eagles played basketball with the Phillies last night or what the score was, but you should know at the very least that the sentence doesn't make sense. Don't fight these topics, don't constantly try to change the conversation into something [likely only] you are interested in. And definitely don't disparage the topic, convey your irritation, or just sit there looking bored. Just kind of be a neutral observer when you're not into the topic. I used to be that insufferable "Area Man Constantly Mentioning He Doesn't Own A Television"[1]. It's cringe and it's not going to get you anywhere socially.

> Visual assist is very inept compared to Jetbrains products

Jetbrains does have better refactoring, but you don't really have to choose one or the other; Resharper and Resharper C++ give you the best of both worlds. Jetbrains is missing some stuff that Visual Studio can do, too. Visual Studio does some static analysis to detect out-of-bounds errors and other mistakes, which is useful to have as quick feedback in the IDE, in my opinion.
I'm a software engineer who had to take a break from my career for a few years. I want to re-enter the workforce soon, and I need to brush up on what I've missed. I'm looking for other software engineers who are in a similar place and also need to catch up.

In terms of fashion, Japan's Uniqlo is quite popular in the US and continues to grow:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniqlo#United_States

Americans remain fascinated with all aspects of Japanese culture, from food ("Jiro Dreams of Sushi" and sushi/hibachi places) to clothing to martial arts to Marie Kondo. Haruki Murakami's books are sold at Wal-Mart. Judo and karate studios still populate strip malls. Pokemon's going strong more than 20 years on. I would say Japan's second only to the UK in terms of visible cultural exports here.

> I don’t speak to user groups or developer groups very often, partially because of a bad experience I had a number of years ago… I decided to talk about something that people could not read about in my book… Well, people went berserk. I suppose they had been expecting me to tell them everything they needed to know about Windows programming in the space of a few hours, and that’s certainly not what I was interested in doing.

> That was a very traumatic experience for me, and since that time, I have been reticent about speaking before groups like this…

This is bizarre! It's hard for me to imagine an audience reacting this way to a talk. Maybe it's because I haven't been to any user group or developer group meetings. What does "went berserk" in a way that was traumatic for him mean? Did people start heckling him in the middle of his talk? Even harder to imagine!

I discovered I had extreme work addiction. Working my job, working on my 20 hobbies, starting side projects, etc.

As with many addictions, working all the time is often a coping mechanism for something else. For me it was childhood trauma I had not processed. Getting a therapist helped immensely.

Letting go of work, focusing on just a few interests,and having downtime has made my life so much better.

> nation-states are convenient tools for the capitalist class

I hate this kind of Marxist lazy explanations. For Marxists everything happens because of "the capitalist class". It sounds as lazy, ideological and ignorant as Christians explaining that all evil things happen because Adam and Eve ate an apple.

Truth is that the Westphalian sovereignty is actually a precious concept. It implies in itself the right to self determination for the peoples of some place. Yes, I know how much European Imperialism mocked that. But the idea is still there and it was powerful when dismantling the European empires on the 2nd half of the 20th century.

Regardless of how much the Marxist arrogance despises them, many classical liberal concepts such as Westphalian sovereignty, rule of the law and open societies are really precious achievements.
Great work.

The lack of 'stupid culture wars' within the treatise is refreshing.

How many popular American outlets are addressing these kinds of issues?

The media in the US are rabidly obsessed with either demonizing or 'heroizing' a kid in Wisconsin's questionable and difficult-to-place-actions, whereupon in a spectacular bit of irony there was actually a lot of nuanced and thoughtful insight about the subject on TikTok of all places.

Pew's political topology is out [1] it's really good, but it doesn't bode well for the US as it identifies hardening, outrageous voices on the far end of 'both sides'
that I suggest amounts to a serious cancer on the nation as those voices seem to consume everyone's energy on civic issues.

We're not even talking about the right things and when we start to get onto the right subject, it seems as though it's radicalized for clicks & views, or trivialized so the writer/commentator can 'seem smart'.

For example, for as much as I very much respect and support Elon Musk's work and achievements, most of his public commentary is glib and uninformed and he's not remotely prepared to start answering questions on these kinds of subjects (unless they are very specifically within his domain). We spend way too much time gawking over his Tweets instead of materially addressing 'manufacturing v. financialization'.

And we need to consume much, much more quality news coming out of China and the rest of the world.

Their cloud “stack” is pretty modern. I thats clearly where a lot of their effort has gone.

And not to be too “fanboy” about it, .NET 6 is superb (for web dev at least).

I think it’s worth giving MS some credit for what they’ve achieved there. Like it or not, Azure is impressive.

But I agree with you with regards to the traditional Windows stack. It’s not in a good state at all. I rarely use Windows any more, at least where I can help it. And I’ve been an MS orientated developer (starting with VB/ASP) my whole career.

At this stage I’d be very happy to never touch Windows again unless they make a very sharp course correction in the next year or two!

(And to the point of the article, I’ve switched from a career-long use of Visual Studio on Windows to Rider on the Mac and I’ll hopefully never go back!)
> If people of color are more concerned about climate change than white people, why is the interest in climate anxiety so white?

I'm confused. Non-whites are more concerned about climate change (in the US - the poll cited only surveyed US adults, an odd choice for such a global problem), but whites are more "interested in climate anxiety"? How did they measure "interest in climate anxiety"? There's no citation or explanation given, or even a definition of what that term means or how it differs from "concern about climate change".

In any case, the situation is lose/lose: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/08/white-...

> If you are having to fight with VS, then you may not be using it for one of its main use cases.

So I worked on VS tooling for a few years and I'm proud of what me and my peers achieved, but I don't think this is the right perspective. People should not be surprised by the behavior of their tools, and they should not be frustrated by random freezes or crashes all of the time. What the person you're replying to has experienced is very real - I saw it come up again and again and again in reports - and I hope that things improve for them with subsequent releases.

VS 2022 is a fantastic new release (64-bit solves so many perf and user-perceived reliability issues), but there is so much more to go. VS still relies on a very very old COM-based UI model with one of the most convoluted and complex threading models to manage it that I've ever seen. It's so easy for any little component to mess things up, hang the UI, and make someone have a terrible experience. I know folks on the inside are working to improve this dramatically (they know roughly how to do it), but it's a long road ahead.
I work in audio and (so far) primarily use audio libraries to output sound straight to the speakers, rather than having the library perform mixing for me. In this case, you generally write a callback to generate sound (which can be called by the audio library and outputting the results to speakers, or directly by unit tests and having the resulting audio analyzed in tests). This callback can often be entirely unaware of which audio library is being used (this may not be possible if your callback needs to react to latency and overruns), and you pass a function pointer and void* data to the audio library.

The only real loss of only referencing audio-library-specific types in 1 translation unit is that the class you write to wrap audio-library-specific types must be located behind a pointer (either forward-declare class LibraryType and embed unique_ptr<AudioLibraryType>, or put AudioLibraryType or unique_ptr<AudioLibraryType> in a TU-local subclass of a public interface).

Meanwhile Rust lacks the concept of translation units (instead each crate is a single rustc invocation which may sometimes be split into codegen units), and hides the presence/absence and location of compilation firewalls from the user. I don't actually know how to trigger or avoid cascading recompilations when using Rust's cpal audio library.
Find in page - "remote" - zero hits.

Seems like it's important to talk about how the labor shortage and remote jobs would affect the housing market.

What would happen if experienced people start demanding remote work to even consider a job change to avoid having to relocate and find a place to buy in a crazy housing market ? I've already seen this happen successfully with a couple of my colleagues in the industry (not tech).

As a consequence I'm seeing jobs being advertised as "fully remote OK" for non-tech roles in my industry I never thought would even consider remote.

I'm vaccinated and effectively boosted. I've been going out tons and not being careful at all. I kissed my girlfriend recently who had as it turns out Omicron at the time. I have yet to catch it.

"Everyone" is a significant stretch. Yeah its seriously contagious but you, an engineer, should know better than deal with such absolutes. Viruses burn out long before they infect everyone, even without vaccines and even if they're extremely contagious.
Poor logic. How can U.S. PhDs work in manufacturing when factories moved to China? Beijing didn't make PhDs work in manufacturing either. It's just the manufacturing job market is there. The government has nothing to do with this.

The west self-harm is contradicting itself by allowing both heavy labor-regulations in their own countries and trade with countries with basically no labor-regulations. It's just like they hate their own low skill workers so much that the politicians intentionally destroyed the factory job market.
That's not true, they can be for either humans, computers, or both. Software still has to understand and do something with that version number, even if it came from a human. And if it has to store, sort, or process that number a lot, it will still be faster to store and compare binary than a string.

For comparison, I think some here would be shocked to learn their IPv4 address is stored as an unsigned 32-bit integer. Its not a number, and definitely not faster to use as a string.
I'm building a postgres extension that allows you to do web searches using a SQL query. The idea is to be able to pull in data from the web with some structure (which you define using custom scrapers) on demand.

Right now I have a proof of concept that's pretty simple. It's a multicorn extension that calls to a FastAPI backend. I have it all running using docker-compose.

I'm open to working with people that want to use it, or people that want to build it. I don't have any real plans to open source it or commercialize it. It's just a little side project I think is neat. I'm open to any ideas or use cases you might have.

Send me an email (in profile) or dm. Looking forward to it!

Dates are hard, it's got to be one of the things on the lists of "things programmers don't understand."

Choices to represent dates as an integers (seconds from an epoch), or as strings, or as arrays, or as other data types all come with a lot of non-obvious consequences and edge cases to deal with. I always use a provided "date" datatype from a library, and never try to roll my own with base data types if I have any choice in the matter. And they are still hard, depending on what range of dates you need to be able to handle.
^ this is very accurate.

There are multiple studies and historical accounts documenting exactly this TsunamiFury. Car lobbies are actually clearly tied to many city planning decisions, combined with white flight and corresponding government loans to create suburban communities that essentially cut others out.

Additionally interstate commerce in a comparatively intensely large land mass like the US did create a need for additional transportation, but the sprawl has indeed been very much tied to the factors PaulDavisThe1st and others have pointed out. Its not 'not liking' each other. Its money + racism + poor representation of the populous. Like a lot of things.

I think it’s still related! Here’s a good video on the subject: https://youtu.be/d8RRE2rDw4k

Amsterdam is similarly regarded as excellent for biking and walking, but it’s also great for driving. This is hugely different from America, where basically every transit mode sucks (in dense areas) because dense areas are designed for cars at the local level. The solution that Amsterdam (and seemingly Tokyo) have used is to separate the two. You have roads which are excellent for high-speed cars, and local streets which are excellent for people to walk and bike. But you shouldn’t mix the two with local streets designed for high speed driving. (These are sometimes called “stroads”, and are one of the most common road designs used in North America for local access to shops.)

The reality is that if you follow the advice of walking/biking infrastructure advocates, you also get a city which is nicer and safer for driving, because cars are much more separated from the most dangerous and stressful elements of city driving!

Lately VS has been breaking my code with its autocomplete, for example lets say I'm working on a web project and want to wrap an element in a div, I may have some existing code I want to reuse so I will copy and paste the opening tag for example, <div style="some styling" class="class1 class2 class3">, then I will hand code the closing tag like so, </div> but VS will 'correct' it to this </div>> for some reason and my code wont work, I start debugging only to find that the autocomplete has again broken my code.
If I had to guess: someone will eventually build a transpiler/converter of some sort, most likely vim9->Lua (assuming my guess that vim still has more users than Neovim).
> Americans don’t like each-other.

Specifically white Americans want to avoid living with brown Americans. Once segregation was no longer law, it launched a wave of destruction for public infrastructure: pools, schools, transit, even things like sidewalks all became things to oppose if they had to be shared.
Worked on nodejs projects like this before, where VS was the prescribed IDE. All it does is mix in the worst parts of the VS experience into node development.

I would make changes in Webstorm, and then other devs couldn’t see my changes in VS because the proj file wasn’t updated. So then you _have_ to open VS to impose it’s junk on something that would normally be editor-agnostic
I have a project here that won’t even open with Resharper on in VS2022. It just hangs and wedges the CPU at 100%, then my shitty laptop overheats and hibernates.
