> results—theoretical at this point, tested mathematically and with computer simulations

I was about to say "these results are extremely unlikely to be replicable" until I saw that phrase: there are no results. She had some models. This sort of thing is hard to devise an experiment for.

I was once in a very complicated experiment designed to "prove" that group decision making was better : your group was at a house in the woods and you were trapped in an Australian bushfire. You had to pick 10 items as being important to your survival, both on your own and collectively as part of a group. Then those results were compared to the "experts" ranking; the experts being Australian fire fighters with tons of experience in this.

(Side note: I think of this every time there really IS an Australian bushfire.)

The results were pretty unconvincing; almost everyone, individually and collectively, got it wrong. Everyone thought "car keys" and "cell phone" were the most important. WRONG! Your car will get trapped in a traffic jam trying to get away and you'll burn, and the cell towers will be overloaded and your phone won't work. If you're curious, the most important was "long pants" and "long sleeved shirt" because exposed skin will burn most readily.

Afterwards, our boss said "I was really pleased that our group really came together and arrived at the results collaboratively."

I said "Yeah, but we all died!"
Good for you! I hope you've allow yourself celebration for kicking the habit!
Why is this the top comment, this has nothing to do with what the article is about?
Damage in a collision is a good thing as it requires energy. Not sure why you say a stronger part will reduce injuries.
Command Design Pattern is underrated
You're missing my point. V not being as developped as other languages is perfectly fine, and I have no issues with that. My problem here is one of trust. The people behind the language have made wild claims that are objectively false. That is my issue with it. They have been called out for it multiple times. The first time I discovered V was in 2019, the website still hasn't been updated to reflect the truth. This, to me, is a dealbreaker. I feel like I can't trust the people behind this language. This is more important for me than the technical merits or lack of of the language.

> Some volatility is expected type behavior for such a relatively young language. Various things are options or "up in the air" versus built-in or might not make the cut for 0.3. Which is understandable.

It is understandable, what I'm asking them is to be clear and honest about that.

> Various people and "angry" supporters of other languages, are acting like everything about V was supposed to be carved in stone and on lock from day 1. Actually, as if the developers were suppose to supply a finished product upon its release on GitHub. That's outrageously unrealistic and bias hostility that appears to show threatened interests.

I think you're being a bit too paranoid here. The vast majority of new languages fail without anyone trying to make them fail. Especially these days in the "C/C++ replacement" niche. There's at least Ada, Rust, D, Zig, Go, Nim, Odin, Myrddin, ATS, Swift. There are probably way more than I forgot.

> I'm sure they will be updating their website to reflect the state of their language, as necessary.

What makes you so sure? They haven't been doing it in the last 3 years. I think you're the one showing pro-V biais here in the face of objective evidence.

> Their users, contributors, and developers understand where they are at.

But they still show something else to everyone. This is my issue, a lack of clarity, honesty ; thus creating a lack of trust for me.

UX gets worse though when screens are cluttered with crap I have no intention of using.

Cuomo's decision is what led to NY having a ridiculously high death count when compared to other states. I'd say that this is a terrible thing to ask unless they have proof that the omnicron variant doesn't cause a heightened risk of death among elderly people, even if they are triple vaxxed.

Yeah, but you're allowed to fish, even if what you're fishing for is dumb. The obligation is for the government to provide transparency, not for it to proctor investigations.
Cars are designed with a strong central structure (passenger cell) and weak areas at the periphery (crumple zones). These cast parts are in the "strong" area, I think.

> Output (text output) isn't bad in C

It's still poor compared to most languages I've used. String formatting is not simple for beginners. In Python you can do:

print(num_eggs)

where num_eggs is an integer. In C you have to do:

printf("%d", num_eggs);

One is much simpler than the other.

And on top of that, I detest languages that force you to manually enter newlines by default. Probably over 90% of use cases require a newline, so why not have the function add it by default, and either provide another print function or optional parameter for the times when you don't want a newline? The "I forgot to add a newline" headache is extremely annoying. Whereas in languages that add it by default, I rarely find myself saying "Ouch. I actually didn't want a newline there."
Lol yup. The advice here is about as practical as “just have 1 smoke a week so you can enjoy it”. A lot of people just don’t get the difference between an addiction and a bad habit.
I prefer a simpler interpretation of:

> Then a box exists at if and only if gcd(x, y) != 1

and we can consider anything that is not 1 (i.e. undefined) to result in a box.
> I can not fathom why anyone would use this for storing documentation for code etc, as opposed to storing things direct in a repo.

Because storing documentation in repos doesn't work great when you want to organize your documentation, discover or search it.

Having thousands of documentation files in a repo, next to the code is unmanageable, much more than thousands of documentation files in Confluence. In Confluence, you can put rights, tags, titles, organize in folders, assign owners, put comments, ....

Is Confluence good at it ? Not much, but it doesn't mean we should remove Confluence.

I’d just like to point out that in the 90s many companies had rather strict and formal dress codes, but nobody scrutinised your usenet posting history.
The real problem is the word “vaccine”. The mRNA vaccines do not really work in a way that other vaccines do, and more importantly how we understand other vaccines to work.

Prior to this pandemic the layman understanding of a vaccine was that they generally prevented you from “contracting” the disease. You get the shot, you don’t get the disease. We were basically sold this notion for the mRNA vaccines early in 2021. However, the reality was different. Whether by way of mutation, or simply by the way the mRNA vaccines only work against a specific portion of the virus, mRNA tech seems to not be as effective at the prevention of infection but better at the prevention of severe infection. In essence, it’s not a “vaccine” as the public understood the word. However, it is a tool, and still a relevant one in diminishing the severity of the pandemic, it’s just a shame that the expectations that were set were way off.
I use startpage for search now, which serves anonymized Google results. The search results are far better than customized Google results. It also somehow filters some of these search aggregators.
I bought an Epson ecotank, best inkjet purchase ever. Cost by page is on par with laser, works immediately on Linux (scan and print) even over wifi.
> the ability to have journalists or citizens check for inconsistencies in tax reports

Journalists verifying tax reports of politicians seems reasonable. Jealous neighbor or vengeful ex snitching to IRS to audit me (random Joe-the-programmer)? Hell no.

> use the raw data for other research seems positive for me

Why does raw data for research needs to have PII?

> ability to ask my boss why I'm being paid less than my coworker who does less than me

No need to ask your boss, I can tell you straight up: Because you didn't negotiate for it.

> You can argue that exposing inequalities doesn't have inherent value because inequalities are good actually Yadda Yadda Yadda

No, I'm arguing that if you want to expose that those damn bourgeois make too much money for too little work, then you don't really need anything more than aggregate data, but you keep ignoring it.
Can confirm. I successfully got off cocaine by replacing it with heroin and it was as easy as pie.
Süddeutsche Zeitung, which is published in city where BMW has its headquarters, wrote a similar article about BMW, which also isn't struggling, and arrived at a very different conclusion.

BMW, one learns, hasn't pushed its vendors to the absolute lowest pricing in the past years, unlike unnamed competitors, and now that some parts are in short supply, the vendors supply first and most to the customer who wasn't an asshole.

Maybe… if you want a particular conclusion, you can help your argument by picking the right examples.
I can't agree with this criticism at all.

I read "surreal" as "it was surreal how whole-heartedly they welcomed us" as opposed to "hiking with your coworkers is a totally surreal, bizarre experience." The surrounding context doesn't support your interpretation at all: the blog post is about how well he was treated, not how strange the experience was.

That didn’t sound like you, it sounded like something you heard e.g.
“open source is good, closed source is bad”

Wow, what? Accusing him of parroting others' opinions is just weird and again, maybe you're right (I can't read the author's mind) but there's nothing else in the post to support this.

Your criticisms and defenses of Goldman Sachs feel inauthentic
because you haven’t experienced much outside of Goldman Sachs.

How many years should somebody spend in the industry before it's okay for them to share their thoughts? 5? 10? 20?

It would be an entirely different story if the author was misrepresenting himself, but considering the post is entire

Consider not bringing up “drama” if you don’t want to share it
with the readers.

I think his brief mention of this and the other minor downsides is precisely what helped this article feel so authentic. It gave me what felt like a balanced picture of life at Goldman Sachs. Leaving out the actual content of the "drama" is 100% appropriate, for a variety of reasons.

This is a grift as old as time, promise salvation tomorrow to all those that worship today. Tomorrow is only ever a day away, and really isn't the worship and community great anyways?

The doomsday cult and spiritual guru model of community-building fits right into the Silicon Valley culture of techno-optimism alongside the "if you believe it, you can achieve it" New Age mantras and "fake it till you make it, it's not fraud if you believe it" naivete.

The only thing more upsetting that watching it happen is knowing how it will likely unravel, with everyone pointing fingers and rushing to find a conspiracy theory to explain why "the powers that be" targeted them for destruction because they were so threatened and were afraid of the power they were losing to the Bored Ape movement, or whatever it is.
Linux is also OSS. I don't think this is an OSS/paid dichotomy. This is a good software/bad software dichotomy. Also isn't this library maintained by mongo db anyway? So the "we are doing this for free" excuse does not apply.

Could you elaborate over what the "one thing" a messaging application should do actually is? Because I could argue that sending people pictures, videos, documents or general file blobs is waaaay outside of what a "pure" messaging platform should offer
Sequential UUIDs fix this problem.
Are you in North America? The OP said that North America and Europe had very different oil change schedules. I haven't owned a Volkswagen for 30 years, so I guess it isn't surprising if it has changed.
I suppose you want the crumble zone to be on the outside. Outside critical parts and easily replaceable. Then you want the inner shell not to disform, or not too much, as otherwise you are sending metal into body parts.
I agree. I !g for about one search per month; otherwise, garbage results are far less than 30% for me.
That's 5 years where you won't have an EV - depends on what the utility you get in those 5 years.
Even in MySQL - one can use Sequential UUIDs.
As the person said, it is not a problem with crypto because there are indeed solutions to the problem. The tool you are referring to are the set of crypto currencies, of which there are many, which do not compensate data handling.

> Linking an Apple ID to a phone number for allowing non-iPhone to communicate wouldn't be black magic

What does this mean? It kind of sounds like black magic.
Yeah, I was evaluating a few group chat options to replace iMessage for a large group, and the lack of message backup and strong multi-device support is the reason Signal probably won’t work. One of the most confusing aspects of iMessage (before recent years) was that it didn’t sync chats to all devices. Some devices could get into a messed up state, not have all your messages, etc. Apple solved that problem with iCloud backup, which lets the cloud store messages.

Not seeing your complete chat history on a new device is just not tenable for the average person, and a selling point of signal was that I could use it on windows or Linux, where I can’t use iMessage. I also heard adding signal on an iPad or second phone cousin be messy too.

Compare that with telegram, which is extremely fast across any devices, has even more features, and is slightly easier to use…

I mean, encryption in transit and at rest is good enough for most people. I agree philosophically with e2e encryption, but practically, is it all that important for average chat users, especially if it means sacrificing features people actually use?
The crumple zones are unaffected by the casts and the casts can crumble as well. But if the car gets deformed beyond a certain point, it would be totalled anyway. If you look at pictures of the casts, the front ones mount the wheels but end there, the rest of the car ahead of them is made from sheet metal and metal bar with the purpose of crumbling easily.
Unfortunately html input type=date rarely works in mobile browsers.
So Signal is missing a basic feature like location sharing and they chose to go ahead with implementing Stories. I guess they are focusing more on getting new users than making a great app.

The thing is none of these centralized apps will ever get messaging right. Because no matter how good the intentions of the team are sooner or later the higher management or the PM wants to have bigger piece of cake. This in the end ruins the most basic functionality that a messaging app should do right: messages.

What these teams do not understand is it's okay for an IM app to not keep adding fancy features. Focus on providing security fixes and minor improvements that improve user experience. If you keep focusing on getting more people you will end up with yet another social app like Instagram/Snapchat. We do not really need more of that stuff. Consider this: if people who built electric grids kept adding unnecessary features to it, we would not have a robust infrastructure like it today. They built them and then those people left to work on something more interesting. We need more of that in Software. What we currently have is millions and millions of engineers trying to figure out how to keep users glued to their app.

I read that Demmark's just decided so, based on actual reasons and arguments. Chiefly that their vaccination rates are high.

The Spectator author doesn't seem to have similar reasons. Nothing in the article makes me think that he'd arrive at the opposite conclusion if any fact about the world were different.
The article is blogspam, so might as well complain about Medium.

I don't understand why nuts are so expensive. They sell for almost 10x their wholesale price.

They wholesale for ~$1.70 per pound. Peanuts wholesale for ~$0.25 per pound.

Yet walnuts sell for like ~$12 per pound and peanuts sell for ~$3 per pound.

Most foods that have sell for 10x wholesale price are delicate AND perishable, so a ton of that food goes to waste. Also, grocers reject a lot because of looks.

None of this is true with nuts.

So why do they retail for 10x wholesale price? I know technically, it's closer to 5x - since they usually retail blanched and the shell is half the weight. Still...
I'm right there with you. The rate of improvement is much higher for EVs right now than ICE, and it means they [should] lose relative value much faster (covid issues aside). I solved this by simply identifying the red lines for me. What can I absolutely not live without for any reason? If I can get those and EV improvements, then I'm in. Sadly EVs cannot give me my hard red line requirement yet: range. My cheap Honda Civic gets me 700km+ on the motorway on a single tank, and it doesn't have optimal charging ranges, nor does it lose a significant amount of range in the cold.

I'm waiting for at least 1,000km WLTP range in something like a Model Y before migrating. At current pace this looks to be some time in the next five years.

I think the problem is more that if you do FTL in normal physics, it's really hard to plot around the time dilation thing. There have been a few stories that have played with this, but generally speaking, having anybody who sits on a planet basically instantly dying from the perspective of anybody on a fast ship is pretty limiting from a narrative perspective.

"3 years into the internet we already had emails and TCP", but the seeds for these things had been in the works for a decade plus

I'm not sure what you mean. Nothing has been in the works for a decade plus in 1971 when the first email was sent - it just two years after the very first internet connection was made. In contrast, it's been 13 years since bitcoins appeared, and aside from a potentially easier way to pay for illegal goods, I don't see any useful applications of crypto technology.
As the top comments currently note, the panels are still stamped metal so body work will still need to be done in the event of a non-major collision. The difference is that most body parts they're consolidating are already parts you would never repair anyways, having to replace one would likely mean way more of a cost in man hours and parts than the car's worth, ie. a write-off regardless of this new manufacturing process or not.
