Yup, that's a rough start.
I don't see how any project could take off with rebranding and splitting from an already small community, Reason users, (itself a split a relatively small community, Ocaml users).
It seems like the road to success is the other way around. Make it a little better while super easy to adopt and iterate on that à la TypeScript or Reason, which can be considered alternate syntaxes for Javascript and Ocaml users respectively and are super easy to adopt whereas forking Reason into yet another programming language that has no ecosystem/community and wait for it to grow is almost always the promise of a bad pain/benefits ratio.

A more thorough explanation of the whole kerfuffle :

> So yeah, taking your mask off while you eat is definitely going to raise your risk.

I don’t think that’s usually how it works. A regular mask is good at “curbing the fanout” so to speak, but not so great at filtering incoming air. Taking your mask off while you eat is going to raise the risk for everybody around you—unless you use an N95 mask or similar equipment (and use it properly), what your mask does is mostly in fact protecting bystanders from asymptomatic COVID that you may have acquired by restricting outgoing airflow and virions within.

Now consider real life, where not everyone wears masks, and my guess is depending on where you are easily less than 10% of mask-wearers wear masks properly. They don’t wear masks over their nose, leave huge gaps between the mask and their face, take off their mask to sneeze or cough (I kid you not). They try to make it easier to breathe, and by extension defeat the point of wearing a mask.

Unsurprisingly, masks is the easiest and cheapest measure to be taken, compared to e.g. auditing and upgrading air circulation infrastructure.

Unsurprisingly, in many cultures people who think that the mask protects them and don’t know about asymptomatic COVID choose not to wear a mask because they bravely don’t care if they get sick.

Unsurprisingly, for the rest of us there’s very little point in being the one-in-ten person wearing a mask in what is a fluid exchange fest anyway.

Unsurprisingly, as a result people tend to not wear masks if they can get away with it, and restaurant owners and other people in charge of enforcing the measure on their territory would instruct staff to let things slip rather than alienate their patrons over a seemingly useless measure.

Meanwhile, masks are not free. Both in terms of money, and in terms of wellbeing. A properly worn mask necessarily obstructs breathing. One risks becoming infected by their own mask which accumulates virions in circulation (and if you do rotate your mask, an argument could be made that reduced exposure to viruses long-term may weaken the immune system—though I’m not sure if there were studies to support or refute that).

Nevertheless, a measure has been taken, and local policymakers may now rest with a false sense of security.

Sure, they're not the only way - but they are definitively the best way, and nothing is stopping this kind of study from happening, especially in low risk (age) groups / populations.
Money.

As soon as a lot of people leave a team or location in Google, Google responds by giving everyone bonuses. When a bunch of people started quitting from the Boulder office a few (5?) years back, they offered to send everyone on a trip to Hawaii.

Google's Do No Evil has been gone for a long while, but people stick around because they are making so much goddamn money.
Wolfenstein became "viral" because there was no legal way to obtain a copy and peer-to-peer spread is by definition "viral". I'd wager Wolfenstein significantly underperformed both in sales and number of players compared to if it had been commercially available. Remember that this was pre-WWW, also PC gaming was much more of a technologically literate hobbyist space and copying floppies was fairly straightforward.

Most Android users probably don't sideload apps at the moment. Telegram is a vital communication tool for the Querdenker (antivax) movement as well as far-right extremist groups. Extremely motivated extremists will surely jump to another platform, but censorship is amazingly effective at hindering recruitment and keeping out the "normies".

FWIW the ban of Wolfenstein was informed by an understanding of games as pure entertainment for kids in the vein of Tetris, Pacman or Space Invaders. "We put swastikas and nazis in this video game" was a legitimately horrifying prospect at the time. If modern Wolfenstein games insisted on not modifying the releases for Germany, they would likely initially be banned but be able to overturn this ban once and for all given we now understand games as a narrative medium like film and nobody ever had to worry about removing the nazis from the Indiana Jones movies.
I just got a call an hour ago from my doc about how I tested positive on Monday.

I've got a sore throat and a bit of a cough. Not enough to cause trouble sleeping. I almost certainly got it from my wife who had a sore throat and enough of a cough that it was causing her trouble sleeping. My son reports a severe sore throat but no other symptoms.

No fever in my case, I had a core temperature of 97.9 °F.

We are scratching our heads about how my wife got it because she hasn't done anything gregarious but she has gone shopping and she has been teaching horse lessons.

I wish I saved the source, but I saw somewhere the term: "Don't repeat concepts"

While it doesn't spell out a word, I think it's much better advice than DRY, and better aligns with your heuristics.
True - the Bazel plugin often lags significantly behind IntelliJ releases too. That said it's a world apart from the basically broken experience you get in VS Code all the time.

In what way does Ada have a high bar to entry? You just need GCC to get started with it.
Seeing comments from previous posts on this forum, I'd say they kind of succeeded.
This can be seen as a form of tokenization, where the JSON objects are trees of tokens.

But that said, a more apt comparison is going from text to JSON in the first place (which is not trivial to do fast, and has issues when it comes to stream parsing).

There are enormous advantages to using JSON for storing structured application data though, mostly so you don't have to worry about writing a parser for it.

Out of curiosity, what does it look like to not-suck at math?

Do you wake up in the morning and are reminded of constants and theorems in everyday things and laugh empathetically with donuts as you recognize your shared absurd topological homology, or go to the office and automatically recognize what's possible and not from its implied complexity class in office conversations? Are you checking Bayesian priors in your interpretation of the news or other risk?

This is only half kidding, as I also identify as useless at math, but I think its words and concepts can be very funny, and I wondered what someone who actually knew this stuff might think about. It begs the question of what one is actually doing when they are doing math as well. Are you reasoning with abstract and quantitative models, are you writing papers and proofs of new ideas, or are you encoding a narrative dynamic into a symbolically defined logical relationship? Maybe you're just being recognized as a peer by the community of people who recognize each other as good at it?

When I learned music again later in life, I found I appreciated the same things, but with better intuition and words for articulating and reproducing them. Working musicians have a trade where it's expected they can show up and perform in a group based on sight reading of the notation, same as a programmer.

All this is to say, I see a lot of these "I can't math / how do I math" threads and am always interested in them, but maybe we should start with, "how does anyone math" first. So, how do you math?
I wrote a crate to facilitate this:*

https://github.com/dfhoughton/pidgin

As it says there, you can only build non-recursive grammars this way.

And the reason I wrote that crate:

https://github.com/dfhoughton/two-timer

And the reason I wrote that crate:

https://github.com/dfhoughton/jobrog

And having written these crates, I went back to writing Ruby for my day job. I am not a very experienced rustacean, and what skill I developed writing these things has faded, but I use the last one daily, so the regex-based parser is still working pretty well.

* It's a "parser combinator library" inasmuch as it allows you to write reusable parsing rules that can be components of other rules.
I don't get what the point of that quiz is. All of the example countries in it instituted their mask mandates between the first and second wave. None of them did not?

Would energy storage not be a good use of that money? Society is facing a large problem: climate change. One way to reduce the impact of climate change is to use renewable energy like solar and wind. Solar and wind have a big problem; they can't be turned on and off. That means to displace fossil fuels, we need to store energy when it's sunny and windy, and release that energy when it's not. Hence, things like compressed air energy storage. This is the kind of technology that can prevent entire cities from disappearing over the next 100 years. Seems pretty valuable to me.
Talking about centuries in programming is pretty silly. A large number of popular languages (Java, C#, Python, PHP) of a certain age went down the batteries included route. All of them have "dead batteries" in their standard libraries that can't be removed because of backwards compatibility.

At this point more of Java's standard library shouldn't be used than should. Java literally has multiple UI implementations in the standard lib and none of them are the recommended method of UI development in Java.

As far as I am concerned the only thing worse than having to use a package manager to make choices, is having to use the package manager to make choices to replace the dead ends codified in the standard library.
Really? Admittedly I only fly Delta, but they've certainly never discouraged it. Also, I don't really see how it could make things worse for others, since it would also be pushing any viral particles you may be expelling towards the floor where the intake vents reside.
See your sibling comment, I’m wrong. It’s M1 that was changed, not M2.
The two are linked though, because the value of a particular item is not a constant. If the quality of an item changes then you would not expect the price to stay the same, but that does not mean inflation is taking place. With that, the price may stay the same but the quality drops, which is functionally the same thing as inflation but the price itself did not change.

FWIW the CPI does attempt to measure this: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/quality-adjustment/questions-and-ans...

> To measure price change accurately, the CPI must be able to distinguish the portion of price change due to this quality change.
“C isn't hard, you simply didn't bother to learn” is probably a great summary of why C and all of its ecosystem is really hard for beginners. I'm really glad that the Rust community as a whole accept the fact that Rust is harder than most languages (by that I mean Python, PHP, Java, etc. but not C) and putting a ton of effort in learning material and ergonomic tooling.

Holding this kind of argument in a thread about how Rust is too hard is a bit strange though…
Why does it have to be one reason.

1) Increased leverage of labor to increase salary raises prices.

2) Increased money printing has increased demand faster than production can respond, raising prices.

3) Lack of aggressive anti-trust prosecution has led to effective monopolies. This was recently reported in the meat industry, buts it's everywhere

4) pandemic related disruptions have impacted the supply chain.

Now, depending on your political leanings pick one of these and ignore the others, and that's how the discourse goes.
Yes python was easy but I've never really bothered with C++. It looked so hard and scary. But Rust gave me more guarantees. It was easier to start learning and do something with it.

That's interesting. Now I want to try to cook some onions with a mask on and see what I can smell - although I know aromatic compounds are pretty small.
I switched from an n95 to surgical masks after a month the reason being they are cheap enough to throw away. Also government forbade them in public transport. Even if they do allow it I don't think I'll go back.
I am overwhelmed with shock at this blatant political attempt of coercion of unsuspecting public by certain class of academics who are furthest removed from realities of material production taking all their gaudy visions and hallucinations seriously. They have simply no idea what they talking about on either side, supposed justification (as they centered their argument on the most extreme end of exaggerations) or the supposed solutions.

Such a "manifesto" is a disgrace to the field at large and science in general. Each paragraph in succession reveals more of the ugliness, pretense, and vulgar urge for power by these self-proclaimed techno-political-semi-intellectuals.

I hope that more self-respecting and more self-balanced researchers from this and other fields will come forward in few days, shredding this factually wanting, and morally bankrupt nonsense to pieces, putting intellectual roadblock to such "barbarism".

That unions work in tech companies. Naver/Kakao/Nexon almost simultaneously unionized in 2018, and now some time has passed it is possible to evaluate. It worked great so far.

FDA and EMA evaluated and approved vaccines based on their efficacy with reducing the severe cases and deaths. That is what has been reported and what mattered the most. They also reduced the spreading, by giving some level of immunity, but is a pleasing secondary effect, mostly. No agency gave a red or green light based on that. This is what I said.
I agree with you that there has been a huge problem with communicating properly with the wide public, politicians making mistakes, doctors and professionals spending too much time on TV talking about their personal opinion, and too little time spent on the basics, what we know, to which degree, and what we do not know. That is a different matter from what the goals of the vaccines during their development (passing the FDA and EMA parameters) have been.
Which union? I haven't really heard of any for software. I would love to have one at my work.
No. What we need to do is make it so people can follow their dreams. We need more people doing things other than scraping a living to survive.

Sure some will hang out all day. But some could be the ones that think of the next jump in technology. Some could be amazing artists.

We need to stop tying self and societal worth to dollars earned per hour.

One of the few times a resolution increase does dramatically increase the clarity—probably due to the camera module also having a much nicer lens to match the higher-resolution sensor.

It also helps that the sensor is slightly larger (though still a bit smaller than the one on the HQ camera.
That's exactly how it should work...? What's the issue, Google is evil because it increased the incentive for employees to stay?
Last 2 gigs were directly through LinkedIn, so to me, it's a huge win. If a good recruiter/lead contacts me, I get their email and add them to my 'rolodex' so I can contact them when I need a future job.

However, 98% of it is total and complete garbage. Unfollow everyone. Follow 2-5 people you actually care about. Ignore spam messages - don't even get emotional about your time being wasted - just delete it and move on.
Another fun option for learning low-level stuff is analyzing existing games. I did this to create a level map dumper for one of my favorite NES games[1]. You can see other ideas on the excellent Displaced Gamers YouTube channel, for example[2].

Fair point.

Can you show me a Prime Minister who hasn't lied to the Commons and the British populace about something?

Sorry, that's unfair.

Can you show me a [governing body/individual] who hasn't lied to the [country]'s populace about something?

My point is only that people should be pretty pissed off about a host of other lies and fuck ups by this government and every government prior, but they're not.

Why aren't they? Well, because when governments screw up, the world keeps ticking over. Somebody embezzles a few million here, does some insider trading there, covers for some sex offenders elsewhere, etc.

But none of this messes with a person's daily routine. Their world keeps going, the company they work for still exists and if not, they'll just work somewhere else.

And it's obviously a lot more effort to dethrone the bloated corpses of our entrenched governments, and even more effort to replace it with something that is better.

Especially when, to the best of our knowledge, there isn't a better alternative to liberal democracy, but it comes with the small print that corruption is pretty much a part of it.

No one wants to rock the boat. The boat's got some leaks, we have to empty the water out every now and then, sometimes she runs aground due to some fairly terrible decision making by the captains, but it's the only boat where people can live in relative peace that's proven seaworthy so far.
Not much, technologically this is a conventional mine project, only that you mine air volume instead of rock and have to take care of the cavern being reasonably airtight afterwards.
I don’t know anything about what you just said as I don’t have that level of digital/analog design knowledge to know how to respond. All I know is that USB 3.0 cable lengths is 18 meters but to get there the cable becomes incredibly thick, heavy and inflexible. ePCIe cables are measured in cm. Ethernet can go up to 100m at 10GBe or more if you’re willing to sacrifice some speed (or faster if you sacrifice some cable length)

Could switching to PCIe instead of Ethernet for the digital signaling have better performance? I don’t know but I doubt it. Ethernet is hitting 100gbps and higher and I suspect the challenge is designing cabling that can hit just as much as the analog design piece. Not to mention that USB3.2 and Ethernet have very similar speeds, just Ethernet can manage it over much longer distances at significantly lower cost. I’m skeptical PCIe has some kind of magic bullet here. These protocols are optimized for totally different use cases.
LOL, fair enough. Then your delivery was pitch-perfect. :)
> has never been and cannot be illegal to communicate by code

This is a very sweeping statement that is false for lots of places and times; while Germany is at the supportive end of encryption various other EU countries have mandatory key disclosure to law enforcement. Even in the US it's illegal to make encrypted radio transmissions on certain bands.

It is a poor argument to make the it would be impossible for Germany to criminalize encrypted communication. They can do it, even if it would be ineffective and widely subverted.

1. Air turnover is not the same as changeover. Turnover is only relevant if viral filtration is in place, which it generally isn't. Changeover is outside air, and for energy conservation, very little outside air is generally mixed in. (Some spaces do either or both of these. Airplanes provide an example of better filtration than usual, cruise ships are an example of more outside air than most buildings, and you can draw your own conclusions between those examples.)

2. Research shows takes less time to diffuse than you'd think, and lingers longer than you think. Since spring 2020 research has shown to wait till tomorrow if someone infected was in the space today.

3. Your own mask mitigates this, as does the amount of time you're breathing the infected space, as does the amount of human turnover (how many rolls of the dice of the space hosting an infected breather, and how long are they exhaling in the space).
