My actual question you persist in trying to distract from was, and I quote: "what ideas, if any, from Swift are good enough to adopt into other languages...?"

Apparently the answer is, No features in Swift should be of any interest to anyone else.

And, again, how many NOSES APPLE HAS BROWNED is still of no interest whatsoever. Shame on you. Your behavior is reprehensible, but not unrepresentative; it reflects badly on Apple.

Yes and no.

The Economist has a Prospectus which spells out its ideology.

I'd known of and read the ... newspaper ... for three decades before learning of this and reading it.

PROSPECTUS of a weekly paper, to be published every Saturday, and to be called THE ECONOMIST, which will contain— First.—ORIGINAL LEADING ARTICLES, in which free-trade principles will be most rigidly applied to all the important questions of the day—political events—and parliamentary discussions; and particularly to all such as relate immediately to revenue, commerce, and agriculture; or otherwise affect the material interests of the country. ...

https://www.economist.com/unknown/1843/08/05/prospectus

That is, The Economist is, and always has been, overtly free-trade propaganda. (Though one might argue that the meaning(s) and connotations of that term have evolved since first proposed in 1843.)

I'm not sure how you read hate into this. It's pretty simple. You break the law, you pay the price. I can't stop my car on a local bridge or by the border and block the road. The police will come and if I don't move my car they'll eventually smash the window and drag me out and then tow the car away.

Nobody hates anyone. Well, that's not true, some people do hate and we've seen some of that. But hate or not hate is orthogonal.

Protest is fine when you don't break the law.

And happy not angry people, seriously? You gotta be at least a little bit angry to park your truck on the street for 3 weeks? You'd think anyways. The things people do when they're happy.
Do you expect the government to host their own analytics? Should they maintain data centers, CDNs, and serve from their own AZ as well?
In other words: Why is discrimination in the private sector bad?

Look at 1950s segregation. No one wants that again. It creates an imbalance that’s unnecessary, unfair, unkind and hard to recover from for those being discriminated against.

If all necessary goods and services were provided by the State (a horrible idea BTW), then discrimination in the private sector would have a much smaller impact.

But in the US, the vast majority of jobs and goods are in the private sector. To legalize discrimination there is to essentially legalize discrimination for the majority of all daily interactions.

If you’re familiar with the power of compound interest, now imagine everything in your day is 1% harder than your non-discriminated peers. Doesn’t seem like that big a deal to go to the next diner to eat or the next web designer to get a website, but if the discrimination is rampant, that 1% friction compounds and becomes a major detriment over time, especially when compounded over generations.
'Downfall' is somewhat hyperbolic. Boeing is the epitome of 'too big to fail'. It is an outstanding and entrenched money making machine
Same thing goes for Twitter and Nextdoor. Also all social media in general. It's all pretty horrible, and just like going carb-free, your head feels clearer and you feel so much happier. I deleted Twitter and Tiktok and am going to drop Reddit and HN soon too, those are my biggest time sinks of all.

It's pretty bogus for them to even call such a thing an fpga. Why did they design it that way?
What you say is true but the problem is if you're not already in the know it's almost impossible to understand where to find trustworthy sources. It's not just mainstream media, social media is a great platform for misinformation as well. Readers fleeing traditional outlets into sphere where you don't even know the name of the authors nor who they're affiliated with is going to only accelerate the problem.

I've become very aware of this over the past few months with the Covid debacle because I have in depth knowledge about China. I've seen misinformation spread directly from Chinese state sponsored outlets to Western media. People were mislead right from the start, which made many suspicious and led to them turning to Facebook, Reddit, Telegram & co. And of course there they got the full does, ranging from activists trying to inform people on the truth and to insane conspiracy theories, some of them very likely part of black propaganda disinformation campaigns.

Our media is broken, we have to address this! It's not just enough to turn our backs, this is where opinions are made and it matters a lot. A mislead populace is a dangerous populace. I also disagree with the article that we don't need news media in general and can get knowledge from other sources. Information is power. Some people may not be interested in the news and that's fine. But people who want to actively part-take in democratic processes need to be up to date regarding political and legal developments. The same goes for investors, traders and many other people. Free societies only function with a free flow of information, everyone turning their backs is the authoritarian's wet dream because it means they can do whatever they like without scrutiny.
I took a somewhat "quantified web" approach to identifying quality informational sources. That included a number of media and news publications. Basis was the Foreign Policy top 100 global thinkers list.

This actually hurt to read, having used Postman since its launch. It was such a great, simple product then with a simple premise - easily make http requests from a simple ui. Since then, feature after feature has been added, now it's just total bloatware cruft, to the point where after having taken a break for several years, I found it relatively difficult to use upon return (especially if you want to avoid sign up). I see they've recently gotten a series d (!?) of $225 million, so good for them I guess, but it's not something I almost ever use any more, and no longer feel drawn to...
Also Qatar.

from https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10538379/Female-Wor...:

A female World Cup official is facing a sentence of 100 lashes and seven years in jail for 'extramarital sex' after she reported being raped while working in Qatar.

Paola Schietekat, 28, from Mexico, was working for the World Cup organising committee when she complained that she was raped by an associate who broke into her apartment and threatened to kill her.

She reported the June 6, 2021 attack to the Qatari authorities, who responded by accusing her of having an affair and charged her with 'extramarital sex', which is illegal in the Gulf state.

Schietekat was told by lawyers that one way of avoiding conviction was to marry her attacker but instead decided to flee the country, leaving behind what she called her 'dream job'.

The charges against Schietekat, who is a behavioural economist, are still valid and she is expected to be sentenced in absentia on March 6.

The great thing about software is that “more” can not just be people, it can be “more software”.

The way I hope to end my career is in IC, building tools that make other devs/the org more productive.

Building software that multiplies other developers output will also increase your output in a sense. You are vastly more productive because you “work through the people using your software”. Which I believe can be a position of very high status in and of itself. Imagine Guido, or the teams behind go, react, etc…

Most big organizations need people to work on their infra full time, and thats what I hope to end up doing someday, no need to mange people, you can still manage computers, only a lot more of them.

Its what Paul Graham said in one if his essays - as a factory worker you can’t increase your output much by working more, but as a software dev - you can, and with enough planning / luck that can be exponential.
That bit at the end about Senior Engineers seemed a little bit of a stretch.

The biggest problem I have had with emulators is always sound though; it's often choppy even when the emulator does not lag!

What I would give to know why sound always becomes choppy when you emulate it, my solution so far is to just compile emulators until the audio works and copy'n paste that part of the code over to the emulator that has video working best!

This is exactly what Maajid Nawaz was talking about on the JRE recently. There is a big push for a centralized digital currency that your employer or the state can prevent you from spending money on certain things.

But even without that, they can still freeze your accounts. Just look at GoFundMe handled the donations intended for the Canadian truckers. This is the infrastructure for turn key totalitarianism.

How cheap does storage have to get before people stop bothering to use FLAC?

By my calculations, $65 will buy you a 4TB hard drive which can hold over 6,000 hours of uncompressed CD quality PCM. With FLAC you might squeeze 9,000-12,000 hours in. But, is that really worth the bother?

I know it’s not obviously relevant to consumers, but an uncompressed PCM .wav file is a format that any high school coder can figure out completely. FLAC on the other hand has had decades of work put into it. It is an engineering marvel. I just wish people would think simpler than “engineering marvel” when it comes to archival formats when the simplest conceivable format works just about as well… :$

Edit: Many people are bringing up MP3/Ogg/Opus, compressing podcasts, how silly it would be to toss out all forms of audio compression.

To be clear, MP3/Ogg/Opus make perfect sense to me. They are complicated. But, in return you get 8-12x the content at great (not perfect) quality. FLAC on the other hand
Is at least as complicated, has a lot less widespread support and has an ROI of 1.5-2x…

As a consumer, I can see that 2x in return for a modest amount of hassle can be an OK deal in constrained situations -like price-gouged mobile storage. As an engineer who has maintained software systems over many years, the complexity of FLAC compared to trivial PCM as an archive format makes me a sad, cranky, old greybeard.

How about a view that weights the time headlines have spent on that page per day? In other words, as I understand the page, it aggregates the current headlines, but I'd like a view that shows what that page has shown to be the news that day (or for the interval you choose as appropriate).

That may be something different than what you are trying to create though!

I was thinking of it as maybe three "brutalist" views (in descending level of abstraction): 1) what the news has been; 2) what the news is trending to; and 3) what each site is currently reporting.
Hey, thanks for writing Caddy's advanced reverse proxy code years ago. I still used it as a model for Caddy 2's new reverse proxy.
You also need to be aware that there will be massive pressure on businesses to remove your job though. Every single app written in a lanuage that has a diminishing number of people able to work on is a huge risk. The only reason COBOL devs are still able to fine work is because businesses like banks didn't have the foresight to remove that dependency early enough - they've been running their legacy code for far too long and now it's hard to replace. Its unlikely that they'll be keen make the same mistake again.
No way - users care about speed a lot but usually could care less about a page refresh. That's why React apps are getting a bad rap with users as they are often slow due to poor engineering. If the app is fast and looks good, users like it.
Situations that are vast in scale and yet out of our control naturally cause unease – it would be weird if they didn’t. It can seem as if our multitude of aspirations, intrigues, and interests are once again subject to random, fluctuating factors. It’s particularly stressful in the wake of Covid inc and many of us feel like we’ve already fried our adaptability mechanisms.

However, re Russia and Co, if you’re not living in the directly affected areas – and I hope you are not – or required to deploy there, remember this: Before this century, no population in history was ever instantaneously aware, in real-time, of hostilities happening around the world. If staying informed by the moment is important to you or you think it will help you muster an appropriate policy recommendation for your local government representative, go for it.

But if not, consider that you’re spiking your adrenals by basically live-streaming blow-by-blow intelligence on s**t happening, keeping your body + psyche in fight/flight/freeze mode. Be aware and of course, if you’re a student of history, yes the developments are fascinating but claim/retain your agency in all this. You control yourself, your outlook, and your immediate environment. Asserting your creativity, enterprising nature, and sensuality in such an atmosphere is not denying that it’s disturbing – it’s good for your morale and those around you.

Thanks for trying it with the quest and for the feedback. I really haven't thought about this issue. Yes, you are right that I have held the camera with my hand. I'll think about this and probably will need to do something equivalent to video stabilization.
And thus the fault is on overly cautious management for not presenting adequate retention incentives.
For me the big difference is that using steam is a choice whereas using the app store is required. Developers use steam largely because they want to, not because they have to.
For me, it's mostly about being able to stream it over a poor quality 4G connection in a speeding car/train. I could care less about the storage; I've got over half of a 120TB array unused, but halving the bandwidth requirement for crappy client connections without having to deal with transcoding is nice.

The storage savings are relevant when I consider cached audio on my phone, but... I'm not really sure how relevant.
Huh, reading the first half I almost expected them to have a debugging system where the cats on the fence were composited by each layer drawing only part of the scene on top of things below (fence, then one cat, then the other etc.) so you'd see different things if different parts failed.

Plenty cute though.
Yeah I had the same thing happen. I would jump ahead two hours to play it at night. This morning it kept showing me the same 3-day-old game, no matter what I did. I had to clean out cache, local storage, cookies and everything to finally get it to start playing again.

I found getting started with Podman on Windows is utterly confusing:

1) Podman has two documentation entry points (https://docs.podman.io and https://podman.io/getting-started/) because... ? It is confusing to the user at first. It makes more sense to have everything in one place.

2) Podman does not _actually_ offer binary releases (but claims to do so here: https://podman.io/getting-started/installation#windows and https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorial...) because... ? They want me to compile it myself?

3) The Windows installation tutorial links to another article (https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/podman-windows-wsl2) that is, by today's measurements, _very_ old, because... ? I cannot imagine that things have not changed since then, I refuse to believe it :D

From what I understand, Podman will become an _actually_ easy to use and viable solution to Docker for Desktop once Podman 4.1 has been released, and we have host volume mount support, which is a must-have feature for development.
Not even FAANG, it would seem.

I get how it's bad for a society as a whole. The US for example has done really well engineering it out of the culture.

But is it morally right to tell individuals who they can and cannot associate with? I'm trying to get to the bottom of it fundamentally.
Anything by The Hoover Institution

Really great, conservative, and academic stuff. Highly regarded by many.

Excellent publications, and whole video series on YouTube are free to watch
Looking at that documentation has me even more confused.

The article says "Proxy buffering means that NGINX stores the response from a server in internal buffers as it comes in, and doesn’t start sending data to the client until the entire response is buffered."

But those parameters say nothing about waiting to send data to the client, and in fact some of them like proxy_busy_buffers_size imply the exact opposite.
> How cheap does storage have to get before people stop bothering to use FLAC?

It's not about the storage, it's about the transfer.

Streaming services are only just beginning to support lossless at all. Improved lossy codecs like Opus provide indistinguishable-from-lossless audio at 128Kb/s, so the formula is store the audio losslessly, then transcode it to lossy (on the fly, even) for streaming.
Portable devices have to come with more internal storage before file size doesn't matter.

I'm still converting to MP3 before adding to my phone for that reason (used to be ogg which I remain convinced sounded better, but player compatibility wasn't there) because 128GB of expanded internal storage isn't much.
I think the article brings good points, but I also think it ignores something important, the alternatives...

You can agree or disagree as much as you want with the current situation, but at some point, there has to be ways for a society to enforce its laws.

Ideally you want to be in a society that define laws collaboratively, where you have a say in them, with a vote for example, and where the laws are applied fairly to everyone, without preferential treatment or specific targeting. And you'd want a process for people to asses and review if the law needs to be enforce in a particular case or not and what that looks like.

But you still need a way to enforce them somehow.

Ok, so let's say a group of people is indeed doing something that isn't right by the laws, and let's accept for arguments sake that you agree with that.

Now how do you enforce the laws on that case?

You could tear gas them, hit them with batons, point guns at them, handcuff them, and physically force them to comply, and lock them up if needed.

Or you can use softer methods, like temporarily freeze their accounts and funds, starving them of resource until they comply.

Yes, both methods are serious, they're meant to force you to follow the laws. So I agree that both are a big deal, but between the two, I think the latter is much better overall, and a lot more civil in my opinion.
I'm surprised to hear this perspective. I feel like FLAC is to PCM as PNG is to BMP. Why not just work with FLAC directly? Half the file size in exchange for negligible processing time.

As a practical use case, FLAC is the only way I can fit my song library on my phone. Flagship phones today come with 128GB of storage, about 90GB is actually usable. Every additional 128GB is $100 more.
If we’re honest, is Wordle not popular because it’s a trivially easy game just obfuscated enough to convince us we’ve done something clever each day? It’s only slightly more taxing than rolling a d6 and tweeting the result.

If you aren't in it for pure fitness, get an electric bike.

All of a sudden headwinds and hills are afterthoughts.

Usually you can get thicker more durable tires. Carry cargo/racks with little regard to reduced aero and more weight. You can keep up with the spandex crowd in a mixed outing. You can go 20mph (at least, be careful with ones that go faster than you can handle) in almost all situations. Bike locks can be heavy and non-aero too.

They are in a rapid, rapid phase of evolution. Likely they will become critical to urban lifestyles.
Adding repos from third parties is not always allowed due to political/security considerations. Besides when paying for Redhat based on it being better/more "stable" then them breaking all your stuff by removing it is absolutely an issue.
