I’m not sure to be honest because I don’t know how much comes from major tech firms - but I do know someone who financed their own research center and have seen probably billions in the last year or two so it feels like a sizeable amount compared to standard academic funding for fairly niche stuff.

And if you look at it from a technical perspective where your options are TLA+, Coq, Agda, Isabelle, etc, I think you’ll find most of the core devs are involved in blockchain somehow nowadays. At least that’s what it feels like.
Not a criticism, but a general observation: it’s increasingly surprising to me, when looking into an unfamiliar low-level/systems language, to find that the language has WASM support but doesn’t shout it from their website. I’m sure that isn’t the most important thing to be preoccupied by, but it feels like a common enough ask at this point that I’d expect languages with a WASM story to make that fact easily discoverable.

All that aside, at first blush Odin feels quite approachable from mostly high level experience. I am (and probably at this point will forever be) intimidated by manual memory management, but otherwise I read the overview on my phone and… nothing feels hard to grasp, everything easily maps to concepts I already recognize, and the prose explanations are written well for an audience of me. And I want to emphasize: I read this on my phone and found it valuable, that’s an unexpectedly good walk up experience.

Good.

Around a decade ago I briefly shared a house in San Mateo with some rando who was a tester for EA. Many of the conversations we had were surrounding his contract ending and employment uncertainty. Especially in an expensive region like the SF Bay Area, it just seemed like an unnecessarily abusive relationship. He was constantly under a cloud of doubt about having a job next quarter, despite working for a well established large employer.

> This is a world that has nearly ended the manufacture of private aircraft that any individual with a private pilot's license and enough money can purchase.

Did this happen due to legislation or market forces? I honestly don't know, but that sounds like it could be that the author got priced out of the market. Where's the legislative or legal connection here?

> This is a world that feels compelled to pass laws requiring the use of seat belts and motorcycle helmets in the hope of protecting people who are too stupid to wear them otherwise.

People dying in auto accidents costs the government money in lost economic activity as well as things like medical care. I have a really hard time seeing how a helmet law, which if violated would result in what, a citation?, can be construed as overwhelmingly oppressive. This is pretty weak.

> You are too stupid to speak in public or post on the Internet on any topic you judge to be important. We will tell you what you can and what you cannot say.

Care to provide specific examples of what you have tried and been unable to say because the government explicitly tells you not to? A lot of that has to do with the commercial mechanisms that keep the internet free for users too, it's not like banning all regulation around the internet would magically make it a better place.

I still think American ISPs are doing a lot more to stifle innovation than legislation that keeps certain chemicals out of kids chemistry sets.

> Scientific code is often write-once, run-once, done.

If only it were so!

Lots and lots of "scientific" code turned out to be re-formatting data. There were some things I wrote in Perl, then re-wrote in Java (which was the standard for non-compute-bound code at the time).

But then there was the actual computation...

Holy cow the code from the 1970s we had to learn, to transform into freaking Java code. And holy cow the poor souls that came after me, howling in torment at my code.

Here's what Tim O'Reilly had to say about web3: "We won't know what Web3 is until after the current bubble pops — because we're in the middle of a bubble, just like the dot-com bubble, where there's all kinds of crazy startups getting outrageous valuations, with less to show for it."

If we ignore the UI level stuff, like doing something by default when you switch to another branch, etc — is it in any way "smarter" than git? For example, are there situations, when I couldn't reorder my commits when doing git rebase -i without resolving some conflicts manually, while jj would be able to correctly handle them for me?

I guess Vint Cerf wasn't hired by Google to provide any kind of input about TCP/IP or future of it.
So good to hear. I wish that places like google and meta would do this!
I think a lot of git is overkill for what most people use it for it. It's time for a new tool to do these basic operations push/pull/undo/redo. Branching is helpful, but if you work in a relatively small codebase a tool that did cp -r under the hood would work perfectly 99% of times.
It should be treated like an easement.

> Things like ranges being `1..5` in one context but `1:5` in another

I very briefly pondered this reading through, but from a different angle: Odin’s range value syntax is helpfully clear about inclusivity in a way I don’t generally expect, and felt that may be nice in an index access position as well. But I quickly winced at the notion of overloading that syntax for different semantic meanings.
Valve might not be “altruistic”, but they don’t seem particularly financially driven either. GabeN has more money than he could possibly want, and now he mainly seems to want to make cool stuff with lots of other people who want to make cool stuff.

If you do find any of them on the list, you can try pull them up from the Web Archive [2] and save them from there.

It's been over a decade since YT would simply allow you to download the video file directly (does anyone still remember the "s/watch?v=/get_video?video_id=/" trick?), probably for DRM reasons. Even if it did, I doubt the Internet Archive would have bothered to try archiving due to the immense volume that video takes.
This really does a fantastic job of highlighting the lower lying areas with more subtle elevation changes. There are many details in the US plains that I never saw before, but the most amazing thing that I learned from this map his how low-lying so much of northern India is and how abruptly the Himalayas rise out of the nearly sea level plains

I'll never forget my time in SF. Like the time I ruined a pair of sneakers stepping in a pile of human sh*t. Or the time I saw a young woman fleeing from a bum chasing her down the sidewalk.

That is not what the word "permissive" habitually means in the English language, especially if you consider a more broad view of users including those who are writing the software and integrating it into their products.

I have experienced some of what you're describing, but to a much lesser extent. Here's what I can relate to, and how they turned out for me.

I typically have the kinds of feelings and motivations early-on at a new job, say during the first year when I'm learning a lot about the system I'm working on, related systems, and other systems. There is so much I don't know, and of the parts I do know, so much that's very broken and needs to be fixed. During this period, I did tend to work on things late on days often, or allow myself to think about them evenings or weekends as thoughts would pop into my head, but I rarely actually started coding something at night or on a weekend unless it was an Eureka! sort of moment.

Totally get that thing about watching a movie feeling bad. I never felt any guilt, merely a lack of fulfillment compared to solving a problem/puzzle that was lingering in my mind. What I'd typically do is work on side projects experimenting with different sorts of languages, frameworks, libraries, datastores or ways of constructing programs on toy projects. Then when my mind was tired, watch Netflix or some other kind of filler until past bedtime.

I never did feel that there was a very much to know that I didn't know that was directly relevant to the work I was doing. Most of the time problems at work can be solved with basic datastructures, database queries, etc. The extra reading tended to be things I wish I needed to use at work and mostly out of pure curiosity. Also never felt guilty about learning things on and off the job, even if they weren't directly job-related.

From the way your post is phrased, I would say that you have to 'cut yourself more slack'. I doubt anyone else expects nearly as much as you've put on yourself. Learn things the best way you can, apply what you can when you can, and have discussions on the things you see as problems to be solved so that you can align on a sense of priorities. You shouldn't feel you have to do extra things or spend extra time on work if you don't actually enjoy working on the problem. Those types of problems can wait until the workday starts.
None of the examples are particularly convincing. I'm not seeing any evidence of our eventual slip into toddlerdom.

> This is a world that feels compelled to pass laws requiring the use of seat belts and motorcycle helmets in the hope of protecting people who are too stupid to wear them otherwise.

Does anyone really have a problem with mandating basic safety? Can you say this is actually causing harm without extrapolating and theorizing?

> If your car runs out of gasoline and you manage to walk to a gas station, you cannot buy gasoline in anything other than an government approved container. The fact that you are stranded makes no difference.

This one's valid, but I also don't see the practical problem here. Gas stations can just stock jerry cans as needed, it's not that big of a deal. Maybe this one can be done away with.

> If someone falls off a ladder while painting your house, they can sue you and take your house.

This is a matter of liability, a concept I'm sure we all can say is something we should keep around to avoid acting like toddlers. There are situations where they deserve to be compensated for their injury, and there are situations where they don't, and most court systems will attempt to distinguish the two. Now, if your court system sucks, it may not make a great decision but that's neither here nor there.

> This is a world that no longer allows you to purchase hydrogen peroxide above a certain concentration for fear you will use it to make a bomb.

Unless I'm missing something, this is also false. You can buy 50% hydrogen peroxide here without a license https://www.fishersci.ca/shop/products/hydrogen-peroxide-50-.... Is that high enough?
The uncomfortable truth is that merely subscribing to the tenets of current software development “best practices” does not compensate for limitations in knowledge of applied mathematical sciences.
Why? There's no private information being shared right?
I’m not sure this is true - I moved from test to dev and then back to test. I definitely earn more money than I did as a dev and honestly from an engineering perspective I find it’s more interesting. While a developer might focus on web or desktop or embedded or games, I’m a developer that focuses on testing. Maybe you’re right for a subset of manual testers but I like to think there are very capable developers working in the QA realm.
I wasn’t really complaining.

I was just under the impression that the GDPR required that these notices have an “opt out” button.

Not my area of expertise. In fact, I think the notices aren’t even required, if a sufficient privacy policy is published, and the site is fairly passive.
Radar not being able to detect stationary objects is a weird half myth. Car manufacturers disable AEB at high speeds and program it to ignore stationary objects but not because the radar can't detect objects that aren't moving. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/06/why-emergency-braking-s...
I think the issue is that the problem space is unequal.

TLS solved a problem that affected everyone, that end users didn’t understand. The ranking incentive made sense.

IPv6 honestly doesn’t really solve a problem for anyone. The people who can’t deal with CGNAT or have other problems are a tiny minority, and they have solutions to those problems.

The other benefits of IPv6 create more headaches than they solve. Why would you roll the dice and take outages to eliminate IPv4?
According to that link, it's #1 per capita. Add to this the enormous annual gifts from the US, and you'll find that I'm correct. Per capita, they're the biggest beneficiaries of the arms trade, and the worlds largest arms dealer.

It's also been extended to the notion that if one fails, it is always someone else's fault.

The number of game developers and studios is more or less fixed for a certain period of time. Since returns on games are so low, game creators have to save money on development. The easiest way to save money on development is to make a clone. So there will be a higher percentage of clones during periods of oversupply. (Nothing empirically measured but this mechanic makes sense to me).

I can definitely see these systems being used illegitimately, but this has nothing to do with whether you can face your accuser. A software company telling you that you cannot validate the methodology of their measurement instrument is definitely troubling, but it is not fundamentally dissimilar to the police using speed guns whose internals you cannot inspect to convict you of speeding. Even more problematic than either of these technologies is the fact that the cops jail motorists for DUI on the basis of their own subjective interpretation of those motorists' performances on sobriety field tests.

The use of opaque technology by law enforcement raises significant issues in a free society. But so does the use of opaque non-technological judgement by police officers. Since there are significant benefits to automated enforcement, we should be pushing to improve transparency, rather than pursuing a chimera where we can only be prosecuted on the basis of transparent and reproduceable forensic analysis.

This leads me to believe that obesity isn't an excess consumption of calories through food, but variation between people in how efficient or inefficient their digestive absorption is. Obese people don't need less food, they need a molecular knob to turn down the absorption of nutrients in their gut.
From the Wikipedia article I’d cited:

Historian Gordon Prange notes that "the rapidity with which the three resident Japanese went over to the pilot's cause" troubled the Hawaiians and added: "The more pessimistic among them cited the Niʻihau incident as proof that no one could trust any Japanese, even if an American citizen, not to go over to Japan if it appeared expedient."[16] Novelist William Hallstead argues that the Niʻihau incident influenced decisions leading to the Japanese American internment on the continental United States. According to Hallstead, the behavior of Shintani and the Haradas was included in an official Navy report dated January 26, 1942. The report's author Navy Lieutenant C. B. Baldwin wrote: "The fact that the two Niʻihau Japanese who had previously shown no anti-American tendencies went to the aid of the pilot when Japanese domination of the island seemed possible, indicate[s] [the] likelihood that Japanese residents previously believed loyal to the United States may aid Japan if further Japanese attacks appear successful."

So, this incident, according to historians, is cited as the reason for the internment. Yet, in museums dedicated to the Japanese American experience, this isn’t mentioned anywhere.

So, I’m not saying it justifies sending almost the entirety of the Japanese American to internment camps. Im saying that it was a major justification on sending almost the entirety of Japanese Americans to internment camps, and that information is being repressed in favor of a narrative that the internment was entirely due to racism.
