Another issue was uncertainty. A century ago we did not have such precise ideas of metal fatigue and other material failures as we have today. Witness the DeHavilland Comet for and extreme but well-known example. Today, the oft-maligned term "designed to fail" actually means that all parts of a device can fail at once, instead of over-building some parts at the expense of cost, weight, and efficiency.
As I guess you're hinting at, writing performant pure Julia is a quite different kettle of fish to writing performant C: it's not surprising that a first attempt isn't a rousing success. But there's a spectrum of rewriting possibilities: you can write Julia-interfaced-with-C as a direct analog of the existing code, and you can convert just those parts of the C code that you think would most benefit from Julia's JIT into Julia, leaving most of the heavy lifting in C.
> "I have no idea if he is aware of other types of joins despite being the best database/SQL architect I’ve ever met or heard of."

That just can't be right. Great SQL people understand set theory, query planning, and a lot of arcane RDBMS internals that most of us don't have to get into.

I studied databases in college and have been writing SQL for 25 years, and I am regularly blown away by the knowledge people demonstrate on Stack Overflow.

There is just no way a great DB architect or SQL programmer would only use left joins. The person who wrote this is likely just early enough in their career that they don't know what a truly great DB expert looks like.
If your poor and in certain US states, Medicaid is pretty comprehensive.

Medication including PrEP, Metformin (for diabetics), sleeping meds and such are free, and you won't pay a single dollar for going to the emergency room or going to see your doctor. Dental coverage even exists too!

That being said it is a fragmentary system where those that do not qualify for Medicaid in states with good coverage essentially only have more expensive and varying quality options available. The quality of said options can be difficult to evaluate as an outsider to the medical industry as well.

>>>all current landlords would have to setup an estate plan to transition ownership to heirs for use as a primary residence if they did not already own one, and the excess could be sold at auction to those who don’t already own a primary residence, or to those who are trading up or down to another house.

My mother spent 30+ years paying off her mortgage, busting her ass to ensure that I would inherit her property free-and-clear. I'm just beginning to setup the place with a property management company, and already my projections indicate it is the #2 source of income and wealth in our family over the next 10 years (my income is #1, wife's income a VERY distant #3). Property ownership, and leveraging assets to acquire more assets, isn't used exclusively by the already-wealthy 1%. It's also used by middle-class minorities, living well within their means, to climb the ladder out of the working class and into the capitalist class. I'm finally starting to see a light at the end of the wage-slavery tunnel.

My primary residence is outside the US, and I have no intention or expectation that I would ever penalize my children by forcing them to reside in the crumbling, socially-fractured dystopian hellhole of America. I would absolutely fly MYSELF back to the States, perhaps even augmented with personally-hired SE Asian "security contractors" (far more affordable than US veterans) to defend my family's assets with lethal force if someone tried to implement this insanity.

"Do-gooders" and their unintended consequences really grind my gears.

I found this may be true but still not convincing enough, but at least there are some evidences in the research to take further investigation.
The OP post also needs the "VPN active" (ie: an active connection to the VPN server). Having the VPN active does not mean it's routing all your traffic through it, what traffic is routed through it is controlled by your wireguard config/routing table. Having

AllowedIPs = 10.64.0.1/32

in your wireguard config will only forward traffic bound to 10.64.0.1 (the IP Mullvad uses for their SOCKS5 proxies on wireguard connections) to the VPN server, which more or less achieves the same result as the OP post. You can access the SOCKS proxy without having your whole internet routed through the VPN.
Right after mentioning Serbia

I’m thinking either the author had an old map (very common in the US) and has noticed this town before, or identifies as being from Yugoslavia from growing up there at one point (and adopting some identity politics that still separates Serbia), or thinks its synonymous to call the region yugoslavia like the region of nordics has its own name which would just be wrong
> What you said would make sense, except they do build a plugin for Eclipse.

I don't know a single person who used Eclipse after 2020. Don't you think that supporting Eclipse might be a viable marketing strategy to get people who are stuck in the past on board with newer tech, as if anything, they will probably move on to IDEA?

> Ex. MS offers an official LS rather than saying "we don't support other IDEs because Visual Studio licenses."

MS is a bad example because they recently literally took away a feature from dotnet to push it into VS and drive sales, which was met a HUGE backlash from the community. Dotnet IS the driving force behind Visual Studio. JetBrains actually came in and took a piece of that from them(thankfully, because I personally hate vs/vscode).
Like other answer to your comment said, JetBrains doesn't owe anything to anyone. If there is already a Language Server for Kotlin, great, I don't see how a product-based company could benefit from making something that drives people away from their (already free) product...
Certainly, but one aspect of my shyness was being preoccupied over what people would think of me, and sometimes it's good to be oblivious you have dilated pupils and you look on drugs. Sometimes it's good not to overthink and just do and see no harm comes of it.

But of course socialising sober is and feels better, though it does not come as easy.

I don't know if your question was intended to mean "commercially successful" or if by commercially-backed you may have meant "closed source".
> But as a society, we stand to benefit from educating people. Someone has to actually build the off-the-shelf crypto, right? So if strictly everybody is told "nah, don't roll your own", who's going to advance the field?

I'm sorry but I don't buy that argument.

The main problem with that line of argument is where do you stop.

I mean sure, its great to "educate people" but in the end each person only has so many hours in the day. They also have other constraints on their time (jobs, families etc.).

If we take your argument to its logical conclusion then you will tell me that I cannot consider visiting a Chinese Restaurant unless I have educated myself by learning Chinese and the intricacies of Chinese cuisine and cooking techniques so then I can make "smart decisions" about what I eat for dinner when all I really want is some roast duck and some steamed prawn dumplings ?

Sheesh.
They're taking a 15% fee plus payment processing fees that might be just as high, for a total of 30%: "On average, 15% of each donation covers processing fees (varies by donation size). 15% goes to support Gated as a free service for everyone. The rest (70%) goes to the nonprofit chosen by the Gated user." (For small donations, this can be reasonable, especially if the processing fees are actual third party fees and not padded.)

There's also a link that I expect to be heavily abused: "in the Challenge Email, there is a one-click solution for people you know personally to click and have their email delivered immediately."

Overall, it's an interesting idea but likely will struggle with the risk of putting off the wrong person (e.g. an important business partner) being too high.
https://www.gated.com/blog-posts/sellers-love-gated has a screenshot of their challenge e-mail and I think they did find a pretty good wording.

Another issue is that this (obviously) requires giving them access to your inbox, which not everyone (and in particular not every company) will be OK with - especially as if they get hacked, the attacker could get those access keys. Can keys be limited so they only have access to metadata? (Even then, metadata + the ability to send e-mail as someone is devastating because it can be used for spear phishing.)

In general, I wish e-mail was easily sortable into categories like "response", "entirely human written individual e-mail sent to only me", "human written e-mail sent to a small group of people", "human written e-mail sent to a large group of people", "human e-mail using boilerplate text", "notification about human activity involving something that human wrote somewhere", "notification about anything else", "transactional e-mail", "service announcement", "newsletter", etc.
People always give the argument that python calls c++ libraries, but I use both Python and c++ a lot, and writing c++ directly, calling the the same libraries, is way faster.
True, although the Python-Julia interop is surprisingly good. Gradual migration of legacy code from Python to Julia might be a possibility for some of these groups. But I was really thinking about the situation for new projects when writing that comment.

Stated another way: almost half of the world's electricity is used to warm stuff or make noise. Compute power is lost in the error bars.

I'm only in my early 20s, and the social awkwardness I sometimes felt in high school is mostly gone. I mean sure, there are still some awkward moments here and there. There probably will always be those few times. Unless you're a robot, you'll never not feel anxiety.

I concur though: I'm not even "old" at all, just a couple years out of high school, and speaking to people even in difficult situations feels a lot easier. So +1 to this answer. Getting older tremendously helps.
The thing is that it will make situation neither more transparent nor more user-friendly. You will get expert-systems that are not only so complicated that no one really understand the whole system, but they will provide even worse results(here goes user-friendliness).

And as I said in the reply to the person that proposed that everything should be in chronological order, there are inherent reasons why it isn't being used that much anymore(it requires discipline, it doesn't suit short sessions).

Problem with social networks is multi-faceted and won't be solved just by mandated openness, reproducibility or direct democracy. Nor it will be by the three of them. And badly-designed regulation is certainly going to make situation even worse.
I tried on multiple occations to get hooked on tik-tok, but each time after spending an hour scrolling through the feed with absolutely nothing interesting appearing I gave up.

Was I doing tik-tok wrong? I am a sociable 23 year old, so it's not like I'm way out of their target audience or anything. I am a bit confused as to why the algorithm seemed to be so poor at finding anything interesting for me, when have needed to disable youtube-recommendations because they take so much of my time.

npm uses locks per default, and to disable that, you need to create a file called .npmrc at the root of the project and add package-lock=false to it. I don't think any popular project does that.

It's also a common practice to use npm ci in all build scripts to never update packages even if they declared a version range in package.json, and package.lock not being able to satisfy package.json won't cause lock to get overwritten.
But I agree with the overall point that at some point people will learn how to game it.
Something happens to people when they do a job for a long time without incidents. They begin to think that the warmings are overblown. That the warming are a bother rather than an aid to help you do your job safely so you stop paying attention to them.
This lady could have had 20 warming and still she would have skipped them without reading them. She was so sure she had the right medicine so to her they were just something to skip.

Her prison sentence is more a warning to all the nurses that are doing the same overrides. They need to pay attention since they will be punished if something goes wrong. It's a sad situation for all involved but making a example of some is common.

Our justice system works on punishing the guilty and serving a warning that if you are doing the same this is how you will be punished when caught. It's a way to reduce crime.
1. A driver who drove off after an accident claims they were using Autopilot at the time.

2. The road photographed in the article isn't a highway, and so I'm not sure it would be accepted by regular Autopilot.

3. Whilst FSD might accept that road, FSD isn't available in Australia.

I think the driver's claim that Autopilot was in use needs to be questioned.

> Instagram (explore/discovery) is generally pretty people with pretty things in pretty places.

This is kinda baffling to me. I got into Instagram because photography is a hobby of mine and curiosity got the best of me. I follow a few photographers ("actual people", as opposed to aggregators) who only post "normal" photography. Sure, they're "pretty pictures", but I'd say it's not really the kind the general population would think of when mentioning Instagram.

Yet, whenever I go on the "explore" tab, I'm inundated with girls in skin-tight clothes or guys showing off their latest sports cars. The "feed" (home button) does seem to have relevant content, although it's quite repetitive outside the people I follow. And for some reason, I keep getting ads for tiny homes, which aren't even a thing in France, where I live.

Also, only being able to use it on a small-screen phone got old fast. And I'm not interested in hauling around a big-ass phone, I already have a laptop.

I actively try to avoid anything with infinite scrolling now. Youtube Shorts, TikTok, etc.

It is just too addicting. At some point you have seen it all and then you start scrolling even more.

Same here, I find it bland and annoying. Even after seeding it with contacts and searching for a couple of things I find interesting. Instead, it mostly shows me "sexy" bait and switch videos, cooking videos where I can't tell if it is meant to be appetizing or disgusting, and weird home improvement tips. I assume the algorithm is more hype than anything else.

Social media used to be addicting, before they were social media. When you obsessed about who looked at your profile, whom you are connected with via friends, when you spent hours tweaking your profile to elicit actions from others, and so on. Human social interaction, but without the scary closeness and immediateness, and at the same time amplified.

I would rather replace "evolved" with "degraded", or better butchered or destroyed.

you can generally put all British, German or US cooking "evolvements" put into this category. thankfully the recent "fusion" cooking doesn't involve anything related to these evolvements, only the good asian and central american kitchens.
The unfortute truth to these toolkits is that they need to keep a ton of shadow state internally and diff that to the data coming in with each new frame. The most trivial example would be a button. The user redeclares this button each frame as if it was new, but the UI must unify that to a single persistent button instance to get the stateful button behavior right. Every interactive control needs similar logic. In essence you trade tailor-made, performant UI update code with an implicit, complicated and expensive semi-"transparent" generic update logic. It works for simple UI patterns with not too much data in the controls, but anything more heavy will r7n into problems.
Yes. How do you deal with hill climbing in product management? How do you know that a 10% improvement in outcomes is bad, and a different approach could have given you 50% or 100%? More experimentation, more 'how might we'? Google is known for trying different approaches (many shades of blue for a link), but somehow none of their experiments indicated fresh content is important? Or is it just a matter of product management 'playing it safe' at Google, where they know 10% outcome improvement is good enough to keep their job?
>I subscribe to a bunch of email newsletters and RSS feeds, check Reddit and Twitter daily, and check HackerNews morning and night, and I have no problem finding interesting content every time I open these things (Twitter being least interesting to me out of this list).

I think we have the same "problem": "content" doesn't engage us, "discussion" does. It's not so much about the exact topic as much as the ability to see other perspectives. All these modern social media platforms are awful for discussion and actively downplay it, despite all the popular ones having some form of commenting features. The closest modern analog would be discord, but discussion is almost as ephemeral as Snapchat once you get even a tiny bit active. small group servers kind of capture the feel, but still isn't meant for longform replies like this one,

Feel free to mention if I missed the mark by a country mile. But I've been thinking about this for a while on why I can browse reddit for hours but can't stand instagram for more than a few minutes (aside from my resistance to give Facebook another account to mine data from). reddit has more discussion than I could ever read (perhaps even too much). Youtube comments are pretty low quality (in both formatting and content) but does the bare minimum needed to post stuff longer than a tweet.

(That said, I've been getting way more into silly cat videos than I ever wanted to, so who knows?)
Allow me to rephrase.

You’re responsible for 1000 Git repositories used by developers all over your department. Some (or even all) of those have just been wiped in a ransomware attack.

Whom are you going to tell to `git clone` what from where?
Yup, and it's a shambles. I can't even install it on nightly 22.04 without the usual weird permissions errors and failed daemon launches that have plagued snap since its inception (not to mention the hundreds of annoying loop devices it creates).
