Go is like what C++ should been long ago, from the creators of C.

Ditto with plan9/9front and the original Unix.

Now, QT/C++ is the new Motif/C, but not just for Unix, but for doing cross plataform tools everywhere.

I think the future will be shipping static Go binaries with GIO everywhere.

I do think the article's criticism of C++'s move semantics is fair. Rust's "copy" of both RAII and move semantics is drastically simpler, and C++'s version is part of what makes the language so huge.
That sounds like a scene straight out of factorio. I'm not sure whether that's delightful or concerning.
So that's probably about 5 mW? It could probably achieve that power level with traditional passive-matrix LCDs like the Nokia LCD I mentioned. Hard for me to imagine it's using that much power on computation and Wi-Fi, but that's possible too.
Maybe Intel is developing a new chip architecture and want to support linux from day 0? Or does Intel want a team of Kernel developers for their AI Silicon play, support the lower level architecture, or for their GPU play?

The more effective rapid fire fighting becomes, perversely there is more demand to tolerate more fuel near structures because there is less expectation of losses. If that demand is met, when the rapid response fails, the fire will be more catastrophic.

It's like, having a gun for personal security can be more dangerous than going unarmed if the gun gives you unreasonable confidence.

Then you can't allocate the object in-place (e.g. on the stack), and also you have to ban copy assignment/construction. Probably a more common solution is like what STL's own fstream does - don't throw an exception on construction, and have a "not valid" state.
Enterprise licensing is a tarpit of unimaginable fuckedness.

The most ridiculous kind of licensing I've ever seen is an application (for data compression) where "how many bytes did it save" has to be accounted because it's one of the main ways the license fees are calculated.

And of course the usual insanity with twenty different portals (one for every other president, and about as old) per vendor, disjoint logins, human-in-the-loop verification and so on.
I wouldn’t call a paragraph-length sentence ‘simple’. The longer the sentence, the larger the brain-buffer needed. It builds upwards in complexity like a tower. Quantised chunks are simple and digestible. Long strands of text are hard to deal with.

That's not necessarily true. It may help and save no lives. It may not help.
More than 20 years ago I had a support contract with a popular database provider. I was paying around $250 a month, if I remember correctly. A few months in I decided to ask a few questions about a problem I couldn't figure out how to solve. Their answer, however, surprised me. They let me know that the "support contract" I was paying for was an offer from me to support their project and not a contract I bought to get support from them.
> Those 737s aren't new, they certainly had permission to use that spectrum

No they don’t, and never have. Hence the current shit show today.

Boeing got away with it because old users of the 5G spectrum where lower power satellite comms. Hilariously the oldest 737 model is unaffected by this issue, probably because Boeing actually let their engineers do good work back then, rather than forcing them to produce the sloppy crap they build today in the name of profit.

This is great! Sounds like they are solving the problem of detecting tiny fires in vast wilderness[0].

Detection seems like 80% of the problem. Immediate response would be a huge improvement over the current strategy. That's a win even if they don't solve the drone scaling/deployment/automation problems.

Presto is pretty successful but its focus is to be distributed query engine, not a proxy layer for the existing query engines. We use Trino ( formerly Presto) as our query layer and do something similar to Hydra at Metriql [1] with a fairly different use-case. Data people provide a semantic layer with the mecrics and expose them to 18+ downstream tools.

One small thread from the past:

Yes, users are expecting content for free because they're being given content for free. They're also being given a pile of garbage data in the form of ads, and there's nothing wrong with dumping that garbage, in the same way you are free to throw away the ad pages of a free newspaper, or toss the ad flyer that comes with your pizza.

Content creators are facilitating the business model of Google and most big business on the internet, which is that they give things away for free (yes free, I don't have to do anything or sign any contracts to watch a YouTube video) and they hope that advertisers will pay for the chance at their ad to be seen by people watching. Nowhere in there does the audience get a say, nor is the audience asked for their consent, nor is the audience forced into any kind of actual contract that the audience clearly understands.

Content creators, having lived in this world created by Ad-tech for so long, have grown entitled to the eyeballs, the attention, and the time of their audience. The train of thought goes like this:

"I'm entitled to be paid for my work. I get paid when my audience watches ads. Hence I am entitled to have my audience watch ads."

But that isn't true at all! They're entitled to be paid by the advertiser according to whatever terms that creator has with that advertiser. The creator though has no agreement and no terms with the audience so NO, the audience has no obligation to do anything for the content creator.

If content creators aren't comfy with this situation, they can try to actually build an agreement with their audience, where the costs and the payments are clearly laid out. That's hard to do so few do it, but that's the actual, ethical thing to do instead of complain that users aren't watching ads; if watching ads was actually ethically required then lowering the volume or looking away when an ad plays would be decried as piracy, and while I'm sure that'll happen once eye-tracking starts being built into the mobile app, it'll be as stupid to complain about then as it is now.
I fail to see how an Easter egg absolves MS of not-being-human. If we took stock, Google probably would have more Easter eggs.
How is a factory function not idiomatic? It's not as if C++ is a single paradigm language that encourages a singular style or paradigm like OO.

RAII is a mess in certain circumstances (looking at you, Vulkan API) and sometimes straight up just doesn't work anyway.

If your initialisation is prone to failure, don't do it in a ctor.

Things were also a lot more innocent in the old days. I created one of the first (if not first) comprehensive TeX archives on the internet by pointing the FTP server on a math department VAX to the actual live application tree that was in use. I never asked permission to do that. Deploying software generally involved just putting stuff in the system directories. And I had open telnet access to all kinds of machines at various institutions. I can't imagine having things that open in the contemporary world.
This seems to be the central data slide https://twitter.com/DrNathanCole/status/1496594197390012417/...

The health insurance company filtered their data looking for the following side effects:

- T88.0: (local) infection after vaccination

- T88.1: skin irritation after vaccination

- U12.9: non-further classified side effects after COVID19 vaccination, e.g. headache

- Y59.9: non-further classified side effects after biological active substance

and calculate 2% of the insured had side effects.

That's compared to the Paul Eichlich Instite which reports 0.3% having had side effects. The institute used a mobile app where it was optional after vaccination to self-report. I used it. There's a link in the paperwork you receive at the vaccination center. I don't know any other person who used it.

My opinion: the PEI data is probably underreported. The side effects listed here are harmless (compared to the outcry on German Twitter). Headache, skin irritation. In my family and friends almost everybody had one of the two at some point during their 3 vaccinations.

Personally I'm very fine with 2% or 5% of the population having the listed side effects. I mean, compared to what effects COVID19 has on unvaccinated body.

The insurance company could've filtered and reported severe side effects like myelitis which has classified codes, but didn't.
Ada never really "won". It was mandated by DOD, but the industry more or less rebelled at the idea. Fortran was pretty common, but C and C++ are the dominant languages. The last greenfield aerospace (avionics) project I was on, we were given a choice and it seemed that we (and everyone else) went with C or C++. There are a lot of static analysis tools now that cover most of what you get from Ada (and then some, even with SPARK), but the choice was really based on familiarity for potential new hires. You also use strict subsets of C or C++ in this field, not every feature will be available. (I wish it had been in Ada, a lot of issues in the system wouldn't have happened in Ada, but they did eventually get worked out anyways.)
Probably another case of Boeing execs choosing the cheapest solution instead of the most robust one. And now society has to pay for it, again.

What do you use to produce this analysis?
From experience, there are lots of companies looking precisely for an "AI person" who is going to use a bunch of complicated sounding buzzwords and build some overly complex thing without evaluating simpler options. This kind of person gets way more attention than someone who suggests that what the company wants to do can probably be accomplished with a simple shell script, or someone that tells them AI is not magic and in the absence of some data capturing a relationship it can't really do anything. It's a hyped up field and has attracted lots of people who care about hype. (I work in the field, not trying to denigrate it, my point is that many / most business adopters want "AI" for all the wrong reasons

> The rationale seems to be that they don't want the increased responsibility that comes with offering a paid service.

This is a really big deal. There's a step change in responsibility that happens from "offering free project you do whatever" to "you're paying me for a service." Even if that service is just consulting, it's still a big difference in responsibility. When it's free you can always walk away whenever you want, even if you were just in the middle of fixing something up.

This is incentivizing projects to write buggy code or be lax about fixing things. Because if projects don't continue to get issues to resolve they don't get further funding. Your heart is in the right place but incentive systems like this historically don't work out in the end. You need to incentivize people who get value from the project to pay money for it.
>> Remember the idea of herd immunity is to hit some requisite percentage of the population that will help protect the people who can't be vaccinated or are immunocompromised.

I remember that idea and unfortunately it is not possible to reach herd immunity with vaccines that do not protect from infection. You need to update the current scientific knowledge. That's why I am saying that vaccine mandates are anti-scientific because they ignore hard scientific facts and are based on la-la land ideas.
A link to the JudyRecord of the judgement [1] yields a better quote:

Because a reasonable factfinder could not conclude that "Butt-Head Astronomer" implied that Plaintiff was a less than able astronomer or that Plaintiff was legally wrong in asking Defendant to cease using Plaintiff's name, the only remaining assertion is the bare statement that Plaintiff is a "Butt-Head Astronomer." Clearly this phrase cannot rest on a core of objective evidence. Plaintiff does not suggest any other assertions of objective fact that could be reasonably implied from the phrase.

Based on an analysis of the factors identified in Unelko, the Court has no reason to conclude that the statement made by Defendant implies an assertion of objective fact. Milkovich, 497 U.S. at 21, 110 S. Ct. at 2707 . Therefore, the statement is protected under the First Amendment and cannot form the basis of a claim for libel.

> Where someone lives is a compromise.

Yup, it's generally just a balancing of priorities and trade offs. For me, having to drive everywhere I need to go would make me really sad, so I chose an urban environment, in a neighborhood where there's a good mix of residential and commercial, that is decently well-connected to public transit. But that means I have to deal with more noise, crime, and homelessness, and don't get to have a yard, despite higher living costs.

But that's my trade off, and others don't prioritize the same things I do.
> There are other ways to package logic and have it be consumable by multiple team

Really what way? Make a backend endpoint? Convert to C++ and invoke as native code? I'm only speaking for react native it's more than sharing code it's sharing skill, a web/nodejs dev can learn it and jump on company's mobile app when needed, as opposed to have dedicated devs for Android and iOS who sit around doing nothing sometimes and stop company from shipping when they go on vacation.
Agreed; and similarly, some developers might not want to participate on that kind of basis.

(this is one of the things I worry about most, with regards to open source funding: I think there needs to be a lot of space for negotiation and different work and communication styles. I hear a lot of suggestions that reduce down to paying people money, and I think that's a simplification that could end up annoying people and wasting time, effort and productivity. not a criticism of your suggestion, more of a broader observation about the way that open source funding conversations are progressing)

What is easier for one audience may be more difficult for another.

Consider the original quote:

> Let’s walk through how Rebecca, an expert in plain language, translates a text to be more readable. We'll use an excerpt from her translation of a ProPublica article by Amy Silverman in the following example.

and the plain version:

> Here is an example for how to make writing easier to read. Rebecca wrote this example. She is an expert in plain language. This quote is from a news article. Amy Silverman wrote it for ProPublica. Rebecca wrote it in plain language.

In the plain version, there are six separate statements for me to process and remember. In the non-plain version, only two. They convey all the same information, but the non-plain approach clusters relevant information. It's the difference between trying to remember the number 1945 (nineteen fourty-five) and 1-9-4-5 (one, nine, four, five). You can both process and remember the former better because the information is usefully clustered.

Furthermore, as a skilled reader, it's easier to filter the non-plain one down to what I care about: "Here is an example of a plain language expert rewriting a paragraph." I find the plain version more frustrating because each plain statement seems as important as any other. No syntax clues tell me if "Rebecca wrote this example" is something I can discard.

In closing, I think this is a great article even if I disagree with the premise that simple language is a best practice. I like the article because it makes me consider how I should change my writing based on the audience.
