Why? This doesn't make sense to me, for a few reasons reasons:

1) I'm looking for the best, not the best by programmer hours or growth. Zig has accomplished a lot and I'm impressed by the work of people on it. But it's still a strictly worse option than many others. I think it's poised to be great in the future, but right now it's not good enough.

2) Organizations always become less effective as they grow, Zig being small would have an "unfair" advantage since they're still small.

3) Normalizing by programmer hours would lead you to a language that took a few hours to be developped, but is not good at all. This doesn't make sense.

I feel like you're evaluating Zig as if it was a company on which to invest. In that case, Zig is a good pick. It's small but already at a good point, and probably will have a good growth. But if you're looking for a supplier right now, I wouldn't bet on them. It's still small, young, and depend on a few people.
I used OPS5 a lot myself, and I sold a commercial version with a UI on Xerox Lisp Machines in 1982 and the Apple Macintosh in 1984. Very hackable code, I modified it once to add RHS actions for spawning new data worlds and using them independently.
The slower Julia variants don't seem less readable than the Python one to me and still are a lot faster.

> visa has ~ 80% market share in UK

What is this statistic measuring? Number of adults who have some form of Visa card? Number of transactions in total? Online transactions? Debit and credit cards combined? If you're able to provide more detail that would be useful.

According to the industry, debit card usage far outstrips credit card usage, at a ratio of about 3:1 for online purchases[0] - and debit cards were unaffected by Amazon's proposed change. So if we assume the 3:1 ratio holds true for Amazon customers, then we're looking at an absolute maximum of 15m/4 == 3.75 million customers - i.e. if all of them are paying with Visa.

Five years ago it was reported that MasterCard had 65% of UK credit card market[1]. If we assume that hasn't shifted much, and ignore Amex and other issuers (i.e. granting Visa a generous 35% market) then we end up at 3.75m*0.35 = 1.31 million customers, or about 8.7% of Prime subscribers. A big and valuable chunk, to be sure - and obviously Amazon's customer base could well skew towards Visa for some reason or other - but to me it still isn't anywhere near as dramatic as "Visa has ~80% market share" implies.

Typescript is compiled (so web/Javascript).

Kotlin is compiled (Android; Java has always been compiled).

C/C++ were always compiled (POSIX; Windows).

Almost every modern language is compiled and if it's not, it's getting a very solid static analysis step that for sure you want to have and run (PHP got types a while back, Python is getting them, Ruby is getting them).
This YouTube video is blocked for me in the US, but for anyone else curious about the book and it’s history:

It not a copy of Dune, but a copy of a book created to show the vision of one of the first (failed) movie adaptations. French director Jodorowsky had an official adaptation of Dune (and had collaborated with Herbert) [0]. The adaptation failed after running out of money. Notable is the scope of the adaptation: 14 hours and millions poured into pre-production.

Subsequently, a documentary [1] was made about this failed adaptation. I think the parent link is to this documentary.

[0] - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(novel)#Early_stalled_a...

[1] - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodorowsky's_Dune
This story is misinformation. It is a shame that so many are upvoting and spilling vitriol without properly vetting the information.

In fact, the winners of the book auction do understand that they do not own the intellectual property. They have a goal of using their remaining funds to acquire the intellectual property.

See https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/amansethi/spicedao-dune...:

> As things stand, Saqib still owns Jodorowsky’s bible but is in the process of transferring ownership to the DAO. Meanwhile, the copyrights for the bible’s contents are held by multiple artists and their estates. [...]

> “We can’t just scan it and put it on the internet,” Fang said. But by raising the money as a DAO, Fang said they hoped to show the various estates and stakeholders that there is a massive online interest in making the bible more accessible to the public.
We absolutely can wipe it out with suficient motivation and the current impefect tools, regardless of the existence of animal reservoirs.

I agree however, that nuanced discussion has been poisoned.

However, AFAIK, the things you list as facts in your last paragraph are simply wrong. Those are big claims, you claim are facts, that require citations.
I'm not sure what you mean by Global, exactly, but Disney+ covers all of North and South America, Europe, Australia, all of S.E. Asia, India, New Zealand, and parts of Africa (including soon South Africa).
That's largely irrelevant if you look at the constraints of the system we are discussing.

1- the beneficial level in the article is to keep CO2 under 800ppm for learning benefit.

2- tidal volume in adults is 400-500ml.

3- volume inside an N95 varies based on model and face geometry, but is presumably 20ml or much larger, especially for children with smaller faces.

4- indoor CO2 concentrations are typically not lower than 600ppm.

Based on this info, average concentration easily exceeds 1000ppm. This is even more likely for children who have smaller tidal volumes and presumably more volume under the mask.
NoSQL databases are mostly useful for performance reasons. You can have the most beautifully modeled relational database schema but if it performs/scales outside your tolerance bounds, then it's useless.

IMO, this is the main reason we have so many database technologies: they make important performance tradeoffs.
Nostalgia is irrational and often felt for things that were objectively worse. I feel nostalgic about a lot of crap. Including Tiger.
It's all starting to get expensive. The content on Netflix keeps disappearing without warnings. Half the time you have subtitles in a limited number of languages. Also they now started adding games, why do I need to pay extra for games I never subscribed for or even want? Make it a add-on or something.

For example, Netflix DE has subtitles but the Netflix UK won't have the same German subtitles available. Disney+ is doing this better by offering the nearly all subtitles nearly all the time. I can understand that dubbed audio might not be available on other country Netflix' but the subtitles?

Sometimes I am too tired to listen to English and prefer to read subtitles :)
There are some posters on here who work in gaming, maybe one of them will illuminate us, but I wonder if the odds are too hard to strictly control (which is needed to satisfy both regulators and casino owners).
Those are debit cards, are they not? Which Amazon were still going to accept.
I find this way less convienent because my password manager automatically fills in my username and password. So I can log in with 1 click. With "magic links" I need to enter my email (which may be autocompleted, but it is much less reliable) and then wait for the email to show up. (Assuming I have my email available.) Also email is never going to be reliably "instant" spam techniques include bouncing an email and waiting for a retry which is going to frustrate users and slow down login.

Additionally my security is now tried to the email I use which may be undesirable.

So I see why this exists, but please consider also supporting username+password at least until something else browser-integrated comes along.

Yeah but I mean... that's why CI and CD are separate things. CI should not need any privileges. CI builds should be hermetic (no network access, no persistence, ideally fully reproducible from what's going in). CI should not talk to servers on your network, let alone have credentials, especially for production systems.
Debt ceiling debacles are ordinary politics. It has nothing to do with economics. That is just posturing.

It's not great, but it is par for the course.

> It took me a while to think of :is(input, button):not([disabled]) instead of a longer solution that I used at first.

The intended solution is just :enabled. This is where I think this project has failed badly in its stated goal to “improve your CSS knowledge”, because all it offers in that direction is a little hint link; to actually teach, it needs a set of proposed solutions, and at the end show you any where you differed.

Such a thing might also help suggesting just [data-item] instead of the needlessly-more-specific span[data-item]. And also whether :nth-child(2n+3) was the intended solution on one of them.

There's an enormous amount of gambling going on on WSB and the average post quality is... well, there's a reason they're self-identifying as apes. But in any case, there is a key difference: WSB deals with legitimate, established companies only and have a zero-tolerance policy against pennystocks and crypto.

The one exception where your comparison is retrospectively (!) on point are wish.com and Chinese stocks, but at least for the Chinese stocks one can say that the radicality of Xi Jinping's actions on the tech/finance sector could not have been reasonably expected - and even Wish.com has been around for over a decade, whereas most of the rug-pull crypto ops and NFTs isn't even two years old.

Those have rates in the 1-3% range, so even with the lower debit rates everything should average to more than 0.2%.
> These emails are so bad and there is almost no chance of them finding their way through a spam filter, why are people still sending them?

Most likely because the cost to send per email is so low as to be essentially free.

As well, there may be some amount of 'Nigerian email' issue here. I've heard it said that the "Nigerian prince with 65M needs help moving money to your country" emails are so poorly worded on purpose to specifically filter out individuals who are not good marks for exploitation. I.e., if the recipient fails to notice the poor wording and grammar then they may also be easier to exploit. It may be the same with the spam. If an individual responds to the spam, then the spammer knows they have possibly found a very gullible individual that can be easily exploited.
May I suggest a similar look at September’s fake press release about WalMart accepting Litecoin.[0] Unlike with the Amazon hype which had arguably an unknown non zero price signal at the time, price manipulation here was the alpha and omega for the initial so obviously fake press release.

Price out a off-grid solar installation with enough battery to realistically provide power 24x7x365 and the price is 3x per kWh over the life of the system over retail power rates. Rooftop solar owners with grid connections are essentially getting infinite battery backups for free.

Net-metering with no grid connection fees were a subsidy put in place in the 70’s to encourage solar adoption but it will soon hit a tipping point where electrical rates will need to rise as more people “opt-in” to the subsidy. As rates rise more people will opt-in to the subsidy causing rates to rise further eventually entering a death spiral.

More installed solar means that the demand curve in a region is going to be more volatile which means that more peaker plants will need to be built operating at lower capacity. This will mean higher electricity costs during high demand times when the sun doesn’t shine. Homeowners are currently getting paid retail rates for power during times when the market rate for power is zero.

To counter this rooftop solar owners are going to need to pay for the cost of their backup power and/or receive market rates for their power.
I can't believe they increased the price of the top tier as well. It was already expensive and IMO the lower tiers are useless - it's the illusion of choice.

We did get a hand written statement from him and the original evidence (hardware) is still untouched and locked away.

In his statement he wrote that the pi logged to the SD card but there was no data on the SD card (well not on the data partition) and I'm pretty sure that was a lie and it just logged to Balena.

But even though we could never decipher what the nodejs program actually did (because it was so heavily obfuscated) our internal working theory is that he was tracking the movement data of the boss to avoid him whenever possible.

True, but you really, really want to be sure that if you're going the NoSQL route, your manual schema management will be top notch or your data structures will be super simple and the query demands will also be super simple.

Most of these high performance use cases actually fit this model well (well, the schema management being awesome is the wildly varying part).

But for everything else, there's Mastercard and RDBMS.
I would not say putting a CloudFront in front of Lambda is a good practice anyway. It highly depends on your use cases (load, frequency of data changes, etc). In general, I probably lean the other way and use a CloudFront only when necessary as it only introduces additional architectural complexity which makes it more difficult to troubleshoot issues. You can also get in a bad place if there are two many CloudFronts in the call stack.
Ethanol had problems early on because of the Prohibition sentiment as well as the foundational nature of distillery excise taxes in the federal revenue stream. "Whiskey Rebellion," anyone? Lawmakers assign outsized importance to it because of that precedent.

The security implications of "liquid fuel plants" come into play, too. No one in power wants there to be large numbers of unregulated, decentralized, small facilities for the concentration of energy into combat useful forms like that. Grandpa's still isn't a security threat; the fact that its operator can build another 100x as large quick is.
