Thanks - I'm influenced by Keynes and "anything we can actually do we can afford" / the view that money maps to a share of real resources. The contrapositive of that is "if it can't actually be done, it doesn't matter how much money you have". The pandemic has reminded people that supply shocks are real and the market cannot magic capacity from nowhere at zero notice.

Growth provides more wealth. If the economy contracts - degrowth - somebody has to lose wealth. You can insure against that, move it to someone else, but like any kind of risk transfer that also costs money.

I also note there are very few things you can buy a 25 year supply of and store conveniently in your house (apart from "housing" itself as a good!), but solar panels almost count as this and are a good hedge against inflation.
Even beyond physical needs, humans are very social too.
Given 17k as of Q3 and ~150k total covid deaths recorded to date [0] we can hand wave an estimate that around 15% of covid deaths had no underlying cause.

C++ had generic code for many years before auto (and decltype) existed. It definitely makes things easier, and I believe there are some types today that work with auto but can't be named otherwise. But, it's not directly required outside of these.

Template parameter inference, which mostly uses the same rules, is probably required in some SFINAE constructs, but is also not essential in other places.

IoT is certainly a buzzword, but it also does have real meaning, and this product is aimed squarely at the IoT edge devices themselves. Seems quite appropriate to use the term IoT to describe it.

Then you fix it. Correct code is rarely hard to make faster.

What when your compiler starts to take advantage of latitude extended by the Standard, leading your program to produce sporadic, non-reproducible wrong results?

It is best not to code any UB. But it is often hard to be certain, around reinterpret_cast.
Another way of looking at it is that they captured 6 million tonnes of CO2, which is not a bad demonstration for the technology. Shell never claimed that they can achieve zero or negative emission. It's a hydrogen plant, it creates hydrogen and CO2. They managed to capture almost half of the CO2.

Still not climate-friendly, but it's something.
Lack of belief is the more skeptical stance, which seems more reasonable to me.
I understand the sentiment, but one can simultaneously be better off in some ways--e.g., income--and worse off in other ways--e.g., mental health. It's important to be empathetic with not only those who are worse off economically but also those who are worse off mentally. Humanity should be striving for meaning and happiness no matter what one's station.

Do you think you'd buy an e-ink device that was hackable to explore some of these use cases? I'm thinking a battery powered, WiFi/BT, minimal linux OS with good power management, powerful enough to run chromium embedded for rendering.

I can imagine a few people on here interested in such a device for calendar, home automation, surf updates, whatever. Or does it already exist?
Thank you, I appreciate your opinion. I very much feel that the journey has been very painful, yet rewarding in a sense. Also, as much as I tend to say my memory is bad, truly a lot of concepts have stuck with me from the first chapter even when it's more than a month since I have learned about them.

You're right of course that hardware has improved immensely, but I'm not sure what your point was. There are plenty of domains where performance is still of great importance, and C still has excellent performance.

I think the real point is that modern languages can significantly improve on the major issues with C, particularly its undefined behaviour and how that translates to real-world security issues, without significantly impacting performance. Rust (and in particular its Safe Rust subset) has been competing more with C++ than with C, but the point is still there.

I admit though that I don't have hard numbers on what would be the performance cost of writing an OS (for example) in Rust rather than C.

> The point of the injunction isn't to come up with a perfectly fair solution. It's to prevent irreparable harm, as might be caused if the only level 2 trauma center in the area can no longer function. Any claims for compensation that the nurses have are still valid and can be settled later.

As someone whose only law training is watching law review channels on YouTube I agree.

Basically getting paid at the same rate rather than an increased rate is repairable harm (by paying money if the nurses win), forcing downtime at their clinic is not.

This assumes that the old employers have some kind of legal standing to make their victory at least plausible.

IMHO it's just preference - at least the last 15 years - but now propagated as a sort of common default/standard with the advent of auto code formatting tools. C# still does what you say (and practically always did - but the Mono people formatted it differently) while Java and JavaScript do the other. Before Prettier, I formatted JS code like C# - I thought it's nicer. Now I use the other because that's what Prettier does and it's usefulness greatly outweighs my preference.

My experience with McK came in two phases. Phase one started with Kedro, and phase 2 was a cash grab, move as hot and fast as you can. In my experience phase 2 got off the ground quickly, but after week the notebook was riddled with run these sections, but not these, 4 devs on the team were hanging out having coffee much of the day because they were waiting for time in the notebook to implement their changes. There was no version management so days were lost to, well someone deleted something they shouldn't have now we need to rewrite it. The lack of code review, linting, and formatting tools left them swimming in messy code that they would clean up later, but later never came.

The kedro project is still running nearly 3 years after it started, the notebooks are long forgotten.

Notebooks are fine for single contributors if that is what they are comfortable with. If that is what they are comfortable with its probably because they have not experienced engagements like you are bringing to them that require them to collaborate as a larger team. If you plan to effectively run projects that last longer than a few weeks with more than one data scientist, I'd really challenge them to lean into kedro. The long term productivity of the project will greatly benefit from it. You will be showing the team a more sustainable way of creating pipelines that will lead to continued success after you leave. This leaves a better name for you than a quick cash grab that gets long forgotten in my opinion.
out of curiosity, isn't that irrelevant since they can just get acquired if there was a big opportunity in using this technology in a product.

The crazy part i think is that this is the only profession where there's a high possibility of sucess for self taughts. I'm a 3YOE self taught SWE and I'm earning double the ammount a new grad doctor earns in my country only by self studying for 2 years for free.

And I'm currently receiving offers for double the salary for remote work with startups in the US.

What's even crazier is that i still have a great work life balance, work from home and the culture is ten times better than what I've seen on other industries in my country.

I can't think of an equivalent industry for self taughts or dropouts.
The thing is if business raises their prices because of these reasons do you think they will lower them once the problem goes away?

Maybe in some industries/categories where there is a lot of equivalent goods and is competitive. However that is not the case for everything.

> Uncomfortable pinky movements

Any keyboard layout that leads to more ulnar deviation is simply a no-go for me. So Dovrak and Colemak are out, evidently (never tried them, but TFA says they use the pinky more, so if I believe that then I must not use them). Ideally the pinky should not be used at all for typing.

I've had to teach myself to not use one-handed modifier keystrokes that involve ulnar deviation. The key to this, for me, has been the sticky keys accessibility feature -- it works fantastically well for me. If you've never heard of sticky keys before then I highly recommend you look it up and try it. It's not that that I type every modifier combination keystroke using sticky keys, but that using sticky keys helped me unlearn bad habits.

Another key to this, for me, is to use vim and not emacs. Modal editing means not relying on modifier keys -- conversely, non-modal editing means being extremely dependent on modifier keys. IMO reaching for modifier keys is probably half the RSI picture, with resting wrists while typing being the other half.

A quick search says that netflix has ~9,400 developers, and they pay ~500k to start. Even if we say that half of their developers are international and not being paid that much, over half of your expected number is seen in one company.

Even if we say only half of employees at Google and Facebook are l4+, and half of those are in America that goes far far over 10k people . This doesn't talk about hedge funds, or even other tech companies.

I think we should expect that there are at least 100k developers in America making ~300k+

> Does anyone think this is actually a valid or plausible argument for its conclusion? "Expert explanations sometimes don't seem to make sense, therefore don't trust explanations that seem to broadly make sense?"

I read this a bit differently: Experts often have a hard time explaining their intuitions. That is, they (presumably, as experts) have the correct intuition, but can’t articulate their internal reasoning (and maybe the correct explanation is inherently difficult to understand), while on the other hand it is not very hard to come up with a seemingly coherent ("neat") explanation for pretty much anything. If that is indeed true (I don’t know that it is), then having a "neat" explanation presented could really be a counter-indication, statistically speaking.

I’m halfway sympathetic to that, as "neat" explanations do quite often oversimplify, and reality usually turns out to be more complex. Explanations that also point out their own limitations and caveats tend to inspire higher credence.
Assuming the ants are unaware when they are in an ant mill, wouldn't it be naive to assume that we would be able to recognize if/when we were in an equivalent phenomena as humans?
