Abortion, ok.

But do you mean putting your own, healthy kids up for adoption???
I used to read so much medium, especially stuff posted here and on Reddit. Now I feel like I hardly see it at all.
Unfortunately that's not the case. Electrolyseurs are expensive (though hopes are they're gonna get cheaper quickly, as there's a lot of investment in this sector right now).

The economic balance of running an electrolyseur only part of the time is something to be worked out. Still the balance is almost certainly not "we need baseload".
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I'm aware you can basically link a gdb stub within your own program as well.
I want to encourage you to release your code if you still have it somewhere!
Vaccines have been repeatedly shown to protect people from severe illness and death so the employer wanting their employees to get vaccinated is arguable all about protecting their employees.
Being using it for a while and I’m extremely satisfied. Having an Ubuntu terminal on Windows with native performance made me uninstall a bunch of windows stuff and now I’m back to my unix working routine. Couldn’t be happier to be honest.
I don't get why you won't just use Ubuntu or dual boot. Why WSL?
Despite the implications of being placed in an opaque internet location I did a test on iCloud not long after its introduction to see if it could be used for non-sensitive things but the very first test scared me away at the point of turning off cloud sync on my Mac, notifying me that 'your local files will be deleted'. Very, very scary that (unknowingly!) I make the primary location into the cloud on setting up iCloud storage and that takes precedence and instead of just breaking link and leave disconnected items in place data loss is forced on me on my premises. To me this is - sorry for the strong word but this is the proper one here - idiotic design.

I use cloud sync only for my contact list now where practicalities override privacy concern. Just recently, after years of usage (with lots of problems, merging various devices the wrong way, ending up in duplications, ghost contacts, inflated list with garbage) I turned off the sync on a computer getting retired with offering the option 'keep contact list locally' but it did not work. Selecting this option still erased ALL contacts from my local computer. Which actually was an intended way eventually, so no harm is done this specific time, but shown how unreliable and dangerous is using iCloud on top of the privacy concerns. I will remain using it for contacts - with the aforementioned problems - but will need extra care on making changes to it.

It is 'ironic' when there is an intended conveninece functionality that eventually makes your life more complex and miserable than before, without that.
Perhaps it’s not surprising but it is relevant in the face of governments mandating these doses.
This would be born out with a lower average cancer rate in populations that do not drink alcohol. So one would expect cultures that do not of forbid drinking would have a lower rate of cancer. Alas it is hard to nail down that date due to various factors and types of cancer and equally, associated health care. So a high cancer death rate in one country compared to another, maybe due to health care as well, so really gets down to diagnosis of cancer and types of cancer. Saying cancer is a bit like saying the flu, there are many variations under that catch-all imbrella label.

In my search for data, about the most intersting for visualisation would be https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/all-cance...

Though mindful, health care and with that a better health system would detect more cancer and mind-set of people to seek or be able to approach a health system is a huge factor that only add's to muddy the waters. Hence for me, whilst this maybe a factor, has the data been sanatised for example those that drink and smoke? Those that drink and enviromental factors (air and water quality) and more so, standards of living. Many drink to offset stress caused by many factors and without the details it is hard to nail things down.

So would be more interested in a more granular study and per country's Worldwide. Though if you use the link and look at Alcohol and then the Cancer map, there is defiantly something there. Though very much mindful that one countries reporting of data can be less accurate than another's, as we have seen with Covid reporting early on.
That’s if you’re not already frozen regarding the field.

I’m exactly in this spot right now. And yes, self-training on side quests like k8s or anything related to the field looks nice on the paper.

The problem comes from when 1/ you already associated all these training with the field you’re working in, and it feels helpless and boring, 2/ you still feel somehow disloyal to use your time like that.
To give some context Queenstown is full of luxury accomodations and restaurants. If you have money it's a great place to be. Only Queenstown has no international tourists while our borders are shut. Most New Zealanders wealthy enough to holiday there live and work in Auckland. A flight like this might be trying to bring the two together.
Also chicken wings. In the EU, nobody wants to eat chicken wings, just the bigger chicken meat parts. So the chicken wings end up for almost free in Africa and also destroyed every chicken farm, because the where more expensive than the chicken from EU.
I hope you mind me not asking but while I know on some general level how things work in the US the details are infinitely interesting the deeper I think about this.

You're responsible for filing your own state taxes based on when/how/where you worked.

This seems like having so many knots left untied, considering how much importance one might expect to be placed for a fundamental question such as residency.

The obvious case is that it seems like people could just move into a state and never tell anyone and omit paying taxes. While there must be mechanisms to prevent or curb this, it still probably applies to a non-trivial minority of so-inclined people already? Not an option for people who want to settle, of course, but for certain people, living some months or years anonymously in a particular state might be a viable opportunity.

Do counties / cities / towns also lack similar logging of identity? How can they offer public services to people if they really don't know who the people are, and most importantly, if the people are residents or not? Does everyone just keep showing their utility bills? How do they deal with the various John Smiths moving from place to place -- inevitably to addresses where another John Smith was living before as there will be collisions without an unique identity? Or does the driving license become the de-facto proof of residence once people move it over, and the driving license has a unique number to differentiate between individuals regardless of name and address?

I mean, for the state government there's an inevitable and pragmatic need for uniquely identifying the people who live in the state and if there's no central registry then this need will be approxximated by various mechanisms so that the society can function at all.

Conversely, let's say the government does track down residents who nobody officially knows about. If the state government really doesn't know who lives in that state how could they impose liabilities such as taxes onto people whose identity and location and length of official residence they don't know? If I move in with my friend who lives in another state at which point can I still say "I'm just visiting, no taxes me for, thank you" and if the state were to disagree how would they go about establishing I was a resident after all? How would I prove I'm still actually a resident in the old state (if I were) vs how could they prove I'm no longer a resident in the old state (if I weren't)? What is the mechanism that prevents me from living in two states and claiming always in one that I'm resident in the other state?

> Additionally, I want to tyty to have better and more descriptive error messages than tsc's. Isn't this nice?: (https://zackoverflow.dev/tyty-errors.jpeg)

Actually, no. It looks fancy, sure, but error messages aren't there to be pretty, but to be usable.

1. I expect the first line of an error to give me a succinct, yet precise description of the problem.

Error: Incompatible types

It would never be possible for me to fix code based on this alone.
Contrast with Python:

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'.

I'm sure you can easily figure out what code triggered the above error just based on itself.

At minimum, the first line should say which types are incompatible:

Error: Incompatible types MyType and MyType2

2. How am I supposed to read the

Because of this type annotation

part? Is it

MyFn has the type: X
Because of this type annotation

or

Because of this type annotation
MyFn has the type: X

?

To fix, include guiding punctuation:

MyFn has the type: X ...
... Because of this type annotation

or

Because of this type annotation ...
... MyFn has the type: X.

Actually, it looks like it's neither and I'm somehow supposed to read it as

Error: Incompatible types, because of this type annotation

... which is impossible to figure out without context. I should be able to read the error message top-down or bottom-up.

To sum up, error messages are there for the programmer to be able to quickly get the gist of what happened, so they should be as obvious as possible.

Much as I admire Thich Nhat Hanh, I don't see how Buddhism is an answer to a culture that operates primarily from exploitation, predation, status seeking, self-importance, and bad faith.

I don't think anyone has that answer, because it's an incredibly hard question - how do you de-toxify a culture whose true values are defined by varying intensities of of sociopathy?

You end up with what you described - vacation and workplace Buddhism, where the more superficial elements of a different moral tradition are used to decorate and sweeten a life of striving that remains oriented towards other goals.

That still has value for the people who can appreciate it - something is better than nothing, after all.

But the Buddhist ideals of community fundamentally contradict capitalist ideals of aggressive ambition, individualism, and acquisition. I see no way of truly blending them without one giving way to the other.

No. I'm CEO of an early stage startup (robusta.dev) and we've been extremely successful in bringing talented engineers. It's the accomplishment I'm most proud of, more then our product or anything else.

We pay competitive salaries and offer generous option grants, but it's not the reason why people join. I know this, because we typically work out the compensation once people have already decided to join (contingent on a fair offer, of course)

Developers (at least the ones we're trying to hire) want end to end responsibility, to do meaningful work, to not be micromanaged, and to have their voice and opinion heard and taken into account. They don't want to be another cog in the machine turning out code according to preprocessed requirements.

Our developers write their own user stories, go on calls with customers so they have the full picture, and can take on any responsibility in the company that isn't currently being handled well.

We also let you work from home and manage your own hours. You're an adult, we don't want to decide for you how you work best.

I'm open to hearing contrary opinions, but this has worked very well for us
So a couple get married. They (voluntarily) have children. Then they make the decision together that the wife will quit work to spend the majority of her time raising their children and managing the household, while the husband will continue working outside the home, as his earnings are sufficient to support the family. Some time later they divorce. You're saying at this point the husband should now keep his entire income for himself, and the wife should have to rely on social security? She would effectively then have to choose between remaining in the marriage or becoming destitute. How is that reasonable? I guess you're saying that no one should choose to live in a single-income family, to guard against this eventuality?
No. They are meant to educate employees. I learned a lot about implicit bias and things that are and are not considered ok in the workplace. Am I supposed to learn this magically somehow? It’s really great to be explicit about workplace etiquette.
> E.g. if you genuinely believe the notion that we have free will is nonsense (and I do), then the logical extension is to be very uncomfortable with the notion of e.g. prison used for vengeance or anything at all other than to the bare minimal extent required to protect others, because the logical conclusion of thinking people don't have agency is that there was no way other than other external stimuli in their lives that they could have come out making other decisions.

There's this dialog from some centuries ago (I guess it's from some Enlightenment philosopher?) that goes like this

- Guards, please, set this murderer free: he has no free will, so he can't be held responsible for his actions.

And the guard replies

- Uhm.. no. But if I'm making a mistake, don't worry: per your own explanation, I can't be held responsible for it either.

> I’d very much be in favor of mandatory pre-nups when getting married.

Isn't this basically what happened everywhere in the civilized world? People used to just dump their families so now you're legally required to support spouses and children (even if not legally married).

This then leads to shock headlines like "Billionaire forced to share unearned fortune with the person they agreed to legally conjoin themselves with"

What are you proposing that's different from that?
Having followed the language for quite a while, including some of the controversies, I think there's two things you need to be mindful of:

1. The language version starts with 0, i.e. it is being clearly communicated that there is no guarantee of stability

2. The language development is being run by an opinionated BDFL who likes to take his time to think through new features. There's more of novel, well-thought-out ways of doing things, but less support for "I need this for my production use case now"

Neither of those points is inherently bad, but if you plan to adopt Elm in your product or codebase be prepared to rely only on the feature set you get from current version. Expect breaking changes in the future when new version drops.

There's lot to like about the language and it can be a good introduction to functional programming if you are not yet familiar. IMO it is definitely worth spending time on to improve your skillset and to gain new perspectives on programming.

Salt (https://saltproject.io/) was an almost-winner around the time that Ansible blew up. It's pretty irrelevant nowadays since terraform and kubernetes - but still it's a very very good tool.

The most amazingly productive engineers I’ve worked with have all been incredible leetcoders.

You’re right though — I might as well be saying they were also incredible bakers or skaters. If those were also high signal identifiers of good devs then we’d be kneading dough while doing ollies in the interview rooms.

What irks our industry is that there are plenty of good developers out there that produce quality day to day plumbing and integration work that suck at leetcode. That’s fine. We should hire them too, but if you are FAANG you don’t need to if you have post grad leetcoders knocking down your door every day of the week to supplement your already burgeoning cadre of sensible staff engineers.
Thanks! I've changed it now (shortened to fit the 80 char limit).

Correlation vs causation. Also, those statistics are from a different time. Let's compare divorced vs never-married to get a fairer picture.

Ubuntu LTS is on x11, not wayland. So pipewire is irrelevant here.

Pipewire and xdg-desktop are fairly new but not changing every day at all, that's just pure lies. Now that's it's supported by almost all software but zoom, it's unlikely to introduce big breaking changes as well in the future.

If the compositor itself do not support one part of it, it's the problem of the compositor itself, not Zoom, it won't change a thing on Zoom sides. That's exactly the concept behind it being a protocol that abstract the compositor.
Qt3D examples use GLSL shaders. This example has 3 shader variants for different platforms https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt3d.git/tree/examples/qt3d/advan...

What are you talking about? Are you saying that https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsgmaterialshader.html is less "castrated" than WGSL ? Doesn't look like it. I don't even see the spec, it only says "Vulkan-style GLSL"

>Here is a little secret

Google and Apple definitely have more resources to spend standardizing WGSL (WebGPU has a Conformance Test Suite) than whoever owns QT this time of the year.
The problem is that there usually follows the question of who should have less children. And often the poor are seen as the problem, even though it's us rich people that emit more than we should. Famous people that are saying that the population is too high are Bill Gates or Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd, which both have 3 children.
Is then hydrogen liquefied? I remember reading somewhere that hydrogen requires pretty heavy/thick containers for storage. Does it need to be kept at low temperatures?
Netherlands doesn't, it costs around €1.3k/month for a 5 day a week daycare. It's very expensive to raise kids in the Netherlands and most women work only 3 days a week, and some men 4, making it so the child can stay at home with one of the parents so the costs are lower. This makes it difficult to raise kids if both parents want to work full time.

The TI-84 Plus CE, at least, uses the same CPU as my board (plus or minus revisions) - but it clocks it _much_ lower, at 15MHz. The eZ80 uses around 30mA at that speed; it also has a sleep mode using under 3µA that I would expect a battery powered device to make heavy use of.

The Z84C00 at 6Mhz will also "only" use around 30mA, down to 10µA in standby. At 15MHz the Z84C00 uses something more like 80mA, though, so the "turbo" mode in that calculator line probably chews through batteries.

I expect TI still uses the eZ80 CPU for the same reason other companies still use Z80-based processors - backwards compatibility. The Z80's got a very long life in industrial control systems, where you want to avoid rewriting the code if you reasonably can.

The eZ80 is about as modernised as you can take the Z80 core, but as you say a lot of the Z80 design is due to the constraints of the era. It was also designed to be code compatible with the Intel 8080, and probably would have just quietly fizzled on launch if it didn't have that.

Yes. And the wife can re-enter the career or start a new one. It is not so hard these days. I see no reason why the wife should be allowed to leech of the husband. And no she won't be destitute. Finding minimum wage work should not be impossible.

Yes, if you want to be sure that you don't end up badly, either accept that minimum standard is social security. Or safe up yourself. Don't expect to be able to exploit someone else for your heightened standard of living.

> education has more to do with lower divorce rates than an ethnicity.

Perhaps, but correlation doesn't imply causation.

It seems at least as plausible that the kind of people able to commit to higher education are more capable of committing to marriage. Or that lower divorce rates result in better outcomes for children, including those children getting more educated. Neither imply that education itself leads to lower divorce rates.

I'm also not sure how to reasonably discuss this, but there is a colossal gray area between "drive-through divorce" and "women must legally stay married to husbands who beat them." We should be able to acknowledge positive results of some cultural norms without presuming they are intrinsically linked to the worst edge cases.
The whole notification center in Mac is just a harrasment tool for me. Difficult to turn off, needs atomic actions for each and every app separately, new ones has the default on for whatever things those want to bother me about, non time sensitive or communication software (e.g. photo editing) send notifications if left on unnecessarily, no option for permanently and explicitly disable but only workarounds and dirty tricks to get rid of if you do not need the whole thing (like you have your own reliable way of processing events not relying on assistance). It is only an annoyance that is forced on me not a helpful feature this way. I have to spend time repeatedly to discard it in useless cases, distracts me from my activities not helping me, it is in the way constantly despite the workaround (without which it would be even more distracting, would be a constant distraction).
