I’m not Indian & barely know about the place, but I’m still near certain this is reference to the caste system.

Caste system is ungodly fucked. I once had an otherwise super hippy in the US explain to me why the caste system is totally okay because of “centuries of religion” or some weird shit like that.

Anybody who advocates for the continuity of the caste system is irredeemable scum in my book. Unfortunately, for me, I think that writes off a lot of people as irredeemable scum. Maybe I’m the baddie.
> If you build/design something with components that serve no functional purpose, the result is just going to be worse

This kind of thinking is what got us brutalism. I think I prefer the embellished versions.
1. Yes, broad redistribution of money (demand) and poor productivity growth (supply) creates price inflation. ‘Fiscal Policy’ seems like a meaningless term, so I can’t comment. But you know what is both designed to redistribute money and massively hampers productivity? Taxes.

2. You’re assuming that the budget is constant. It is not. Governments employ debt because they can. Governments tax because they can. If anything, the relationship is the opposite of the way you state it. Taxation allows them to take on more debt. Debt forces them to increase taxation.

3. Good theory. It is what I would have believed before spending over a decade in the bureaucracy. It’s neither right nor wrong, but irrelevant to the actual functioning of the system.
I think calling lua style coroutines async is muddying the waters. Then even pthread could be called async.

I think async should be reserved specifically for stackless coroutines runtimes.

I am not so sure. He really was impressed by how they manages to put in that V8 into the small space.
GP (and I) don't want to configure multiple 'identities' though. I (and probably GP) create new email addresses 'on the fly', for a specific shop I order from once say, and if there's something I need to reply to I want (possibly need from their CRM's perspective) to reply from the address they already have for me.

Embarrassingly largely for this reason, I wrote my own client. (Good fun though, and not the only reason.)
Indian here. I don't understand what your friend meant. Can you please elaborate?
Yes and no, I'm working on a music visualizer in my spare time and I don't like spending too much time promoting it.

Many years ago, I worked on a previous iteration of this and I wasted a ton of time putting up a ghost blog, and trying to document my process. No one really has the attention span to read all that. Promoting the blog is much harder than just sharing what you actually made.

Much of the fun with this thing has just been learning new tricks with Unity. The new Unity UI system is leaps and bounds easier to use, I've had to dig deep into some sparsely documented APIs to do what I want. I only know how to program because I wanted to make games. And these small projects are still where I do the vast majority of my learning.

The feeling of accomplishment when you struggle for 3 hours to get something working, only to find the solution somewhere deep on stack overflow.

At this point I just love the process, first I make a beat, then I make a visualization using it. It's been a great way to combine my two passions. But again, I try not to spend too much time on promotion.

Once I clean it up a bit ( figuring out a video recording solution in Unity would be great), I plan to release it.

Here's an example with a custom Ready Player Me avatar.

Yes but the fact that your parent post exists is proof that not everybody thinks like that - and bored kids are not the most reflecting, awe-inspirable human beings.
Can recommend Origins as well, riding past the pyramids has something pretty cool about it...
Coming off another week in the national parks (this time, Utah) - I’d encourage you to go see more/others.

GC can be pretty cool, but I’d not put it in my top 10 parks. Mainly because of the people and the mares ruin the effect on a hike. And, staying at the top is a bit boring.

For my money, Zion or Yosemite are better. Both with their own set of people related problems.

Off topic, but was at Bryce a couple days ago and some guy was FaceTiming at 7:30am filling the entire canyon with his and the other people’s voices. Terrible manners! Ruined the first 30m of the hike.
Of course, but has anything like that happened in this case?

My understanding is that getting a year's dose in an hour normally is not sufficient for that. The biggest risk was ingesting Cs-137 and other radioactive isotopes that would stay in the body and will cause cancer eventually.
I did that too when I used Fastmail, was a right pain, wish I'd known!
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but is there an example for a function that doesn't make sense to call from both an async and non-async function, other than an implementation detail of the programming language?

But continuing on your idea, one colouring I would really like to see everywhere is pureness. C++'s `const` comes close, and perhaps Haskell does it right by having everything be (mostly) pure by default and using the type system to encode other properties. And yeah - different monads (like IO) are likely a good way to handle this whole topic in a user-definable way, but not many people like them (at least when they know they are using them, because unknowingly many programmer do use it, eg. most async syntactic sugar is basically a do notation for a single hard-coded Monad)
I agree things aren't the best and you make several valid points. However, seems to me that you are in the camp who would rather shit on their own country instead of finding ways to make things better for everyone. You too are a part of the privileged class at this moment - sitting in the US (presumably).
I don't believe it is?

After that time when he tried to deny credit for a discovery to an employee, using a NDA, now I always wonder when he claims something if it is truly his work or just misappropriation of other people's ideas. He aims to be a new Newton or Einstein, but may end just as another L'Hôpital.
PlayStation OS is based on BSD, but as the license goes very few see the outcome of that.
Most electronics are pretty useless without documentation/datasheets.

Some components might be self-explanatory from their inscriptions, like capacitors or resistors, but with undocumented semiconductors its instant game-over. Worst case are ASICs in epoxy resin...
It should be possible, especially since Mutagen is already built for almost all of Go's supported architectures. The biggest issue would just be implementing the race-free filesystem traversal that's used on Windows and POSIX (or potentially living without it given that WASM would probably provide sufficient sandboxing). In any case, most of the work would take place in Mutagen's `filesystem` package, where those syscall equivalents would have to be figured out. The rest of Mutagen should compile without modification. You'd also need to define a transport for Mutagen to use, which would depend on the exact mode of operation you're looking at, but that's the easier problem to solve. Mutagen v0.15 is going to be focused on extensibility (including custom transports), so something like this may become a reality soon.
Actually, yes. They sell data products and ads.
Given the tone of the quoted comment, I expect that was a typo for 250k. IE. They offered me 250k fully remote, but I turned it down anyway because it would be so much work.
If you want to blog for ego reasons, just do it. If you want to keep a public diary... same. You can even write blog posts and not hit the 'publish' button - heresy, I know! :)
I've been wanting to move my pfsense box to a vanilla locked down openbsd box -- I think this is really cool but will stick to the handbook and what not way of doing things so as to not be beholden to a third-party tool
How about if someone just forgets the document open on their browser? Or their network connection is down when they close the browser window? You eventually have to somehow deal with documents that are left locked, no matter what (google CAP theorem.)

On a general level, locking is a subpar solution for distributed systems. You should try to build support for automatic resolution of (most) edit conflicts instead, and forego locking altogether. If that's not possible, try to make the locks smart, e.g. so they auto expire unless periodically renewed.
Sorry, it is a preview version, it may get stuck when large models or error files, I will try to fix this issue in next version.
I just dump what would have been my "blog" into google docs. No need to spend time making it presentable to others and serves the purpose as my future reference. I occasionally think that I might clean them up and make it a proper blog or book someday. But that never happens and it doesn't bother me.

I also feel paranoid that written content I have spent effort researching on is just up-for-grabs for popular tubers and that demotivates me.
There's two facets of sexual behaviour that are unique to humans. The first is we're the only species that sometimes gets aroused on violence or gets violent on arousal. This is an accident of neurology, both feelings a processed close by. The second is we're the only species that cares if anyone's watching. This observation seems to hold across cultures and time periods.

So the answer is, it was always taboo for kids or anyone else to watch. People may not have always been able to hide it effectively, but they were always at least trying.
And that is enough to be UNIX (TM).
Zig has many similarities stackful coroutine runtimes though, and I suspect that our pre-existing notions of stackful and stackless coroutine libraries may not apply well to it. The compiler has to statically know the maximum depth from which a function or its callees can suspend, then this whole maximum-sized stack is saved in the resulting frame type. This is distinct from e.g. Rust, where each stack frame of the async parts of your async call stack has separate storage.

Edit: I guess I mean to say that Zig could in the future remove the async calling convention (but keep the fact that each function is either async or not) and switch to a model like libco without breaking very much code. If this does happen, I don't think it's necessary to rename the keywords at that time.
The job? What about private pilots?
If everything was open access, then the memberships would have much less of a value proposition.
As if modern Linux distributions are super compatible among themselves.
Not op, but a parent. When my kid was young we left that question deliberately vague. I didn't want him to be the kid who goes around and says in Kindergarten "my dad says Santa Clause doesn't exist", at the same time deliberately encouraging a belief into something I know is not true felt morally wrong, so when he asked if Santa is real I woulf typically answer along the lines of "I'm not sure, what do you think?"

I don't remember ever believing in Santa when I was a kid, but I also didn't grow up in anglo sphere where that question seems quite important the growing up process.
My favourite part of this satire is the code of conduct. Straight out of a Monty Python sketch!
Not just. Humans invented the styles that DALL-E is using in the first place. The emergence of these novel styles isn't just interpolation. DALL-E, while incredible, seems stuck within the scope of these styles.
I guess it varies depending on the lawyer, mine agrees with my interpretation.

Law depending on the opinion of lawyers is “useful”.

If anyone wants to attempt to prosecute me for storing Apache logs then I’m happy to defend it in court. GDPR isn’t the boogeyman unless you’re selling data. I’m quite certain there are sympathetic judges to that end. Logs are necessary and even in some cases legally mandatory.

I would talk to your lawyer.
My website is not a blog, it's a knowledgebase of snippets, kind of like a personal stackoverflow with bits and pieces here and there where I was experimenting with different content types.

The main purpose is to serve me, first and foremost, and other people second. So I host slides for recurring presentations, maybe rants about things I need to explain multiple times to different people, so instead of a poinless conversation repeat, I share a link; food recipes that sometimes people ask me about, or just play around with whatever I find interesting.

But most importantly: I'm having fun doing it. When it stops being fun, I just stop, and that's it. There's no monetary gain from this and there never will be. Just my own enjoyment and pride.

Maybe if you also switch your mentality from "blogging" to "knowledgebase" it would help you.
But with go's green threads, does it really matter if something blocks or not? Given, I'm not too familiar with Go, but in the case of Java's upcoming Loom which will do something similar, you would just create a virtual thread and if you have to do something with the output of a previous call, you just write plain easy "blocking" code. The JVM will switch to another virtual thread during the "blocking" part automagically and you are done. Whether something is async or not doesn't add anything to the idea you want to implement (in managed languages that is -- rust do need the async keyword because it is a low-level language).
can you share which fast plugin are you using?
Your argument falls apart immediately because Visual Basic was a great language for its time.
We definitely can. The apartment I lived in from 2018-2019 was ghostly quiet. For the first five months, I could easily have been convinced that we were the only people that lived on our floor.
There's no shortage of content creators and real time news journalists churning out a dozen or more articles a day. The quantity part isn't the difficult bit.

It's an incredibly rare skill to be able to inform and entertain both professionals and lay audiences with the same piece in a field as technical as Levine's in as much depth as he goes into though, and it takes a certain amount of flair and skill to be opinionated on contested stuff without alienating much of your potential audience too.
So in someways, the best generalization like this I already commonly see is a capabilities system, which can be done essentially via function parameters. I've used this as an OOP pattern once or twice and I think it's the easiest way to explain it:

Imagine you have 2 singleton objects in your 'void main()', redkey and bluekey of types Redkey and Bluekey.

Somewhere else, you declare your function: 'int foo(Redkey redkey, int x, int y)' that needs a Redkey object of which only one exists: in your main.

This by itself forces every call on the path between 'main()' and a call to 'foo()' to also include a parameter Redkey.

In the extreme cases where a pattern like this is useful (tracing IO calls, you named it) it can really help cut through a codebase after an hour of refactoring. But it can be limiting. Async and Checked Exceptions are probably the most colored functions and they both need escape hatches because of that.
Of course they are.

Let's ignore there is not much value coming out of education and that people mostly succeed despite having to go through the grind of an antiquated education methodology (which is the only way to certain professions).
Let's ignore that better teachers can actually go to private education and get a higher salary.

Software developers can create software solutions that automatically do the work of tons of people (think about how much time is saved by an online checkout vs maintaining a physical store with employees).
It's obvious that software is a great way for companies that want to multiply their revenue and that's the most efficient way to generate value for society at scale.

It's therefore obvious that people capable of delivering that solution have more value compared to a teacher.

You may not like Amazon, but people derive benefits from Amazon all the time. They can get stuff directly at home in a day. They can pay online without even seeing a store.

That's a lot of units of small value for the general public being created by the Amazon employees and Amazon itself.

You may not like where society is going, but people choose with their own wallets what they want or not. This is pure democracy.
I would say it is a huge disadvantage -- do is just syntactic sugar for a monad expression of binds, which is a native part of the language, you can write a simple function to manipulate it however you like. While you would need to effectively parse AST in case of JS.
It would benefit the non Indians, certainly. And it’d also get me flagged.

But what the hell, I’ll say it. OP is an upper caste male. You won’t see many “India is doing great! I’m heading back there!” posts from Indian women or Indian Muslims or Indian Dalits. That’s what I meant.

I’m similar to the OP in that I’m an upper caste male as well. The difference between me and him is that I can understand and empathise with the difficulties faced by people different from me.
Well there is a case to be made that the web should not necessarily be a general computing platform. Or at least that there should be a separate mode in which it assuredly is not because it is a hypertext platform instead. This use case has not disappeared just because the web grew additional capabilities.

But it can feel as if the capability to act as a hypertext platform has disappeared, because you now have to worry about it doing things that are not aligned with this purpose. Remember, there is power in limitations, as type theory teaches us.

And even for use cases where more than simple hypertext is needed, there is still a vast, nuanced chasm between that and full-blown Turing completeness.
Consider for a moment that everything is different in some aspect. Nothing discernible is the same. So, your question is certainly valid: how is a biologically encoded lifespan different than trying to avoid death by treating various illnesses? But your comment seems to imply that there is no valid difference, to which I beg to differ.

The essential difference is this: the quest to extend human life span beyond the encoding found in the genes of our species is obviously different than trying to essentially reach the predestined life encoded in the genes of our species. This is why we experience tragedy when someone "dies before their time", especially children, but also young adults and so on up until the non-tragic but nonetheless sad deaths of 100-yearolds, who had lived a "long and fulfilling life".

I'm sure this does not convince the hardened transhumanist of the qualitative difference, but there you go. It's how I look at it anyway, without knowing exactly how we can control the current scramble to obtain and exploit the crucial IPs in this domain.

When there's will, there's a way.

Poland who was reluctant to take any so-called refugees before, now took over 2 million Ukrainians.

Germany really need to show solidarity on this and one way is to make sure for them that the EU project will not survive if we don't help Ukraine to win this war. It is not possible without starving Russia from its hydrocarbon profits.
The best blogs are the ones that aren't 100% SEO optimised, filled with ads and have the authors face, credentials and contact info plastered everywhere.

They're the ones that are mostly just a personal notebook with "this is how I solved this problem I had, and I'm writing it down here so I can find it again". Most likely you can't even find the author's name in there anywhere, never mind their face.

Not everything has to be a side hustle or a shippable product.
I think it's great that you're reflecting on what blogging meant for you before and discovering that freedom of doing things for yourself now.

But it's also important to not project your own previous potentially ego-driven activities towards everyone else in the world. Yes, I'm sure there are other people that had the same insecurities/ego, but it definitely doesn't mean everyone who ever blogs is like that.

When you're able to discern that, you'll slowly gain more clarity about yourself, your own motivations. What often happens, at least for me, is that after an initial pushback, I eventually come back to appreciate the thing more. In your case, now that you've grown from your previous self and taken back some of your personal ownership, you may one day discover a renewed reason and motivation for blogging again. And if/when that time comes, it'll be wonderful also.
It's part of the experience man. Scrolling down is used to simulate a movement forward like walking thru the scenery....
They have found that it absolutely doesn't matter how well, or if, the products work. It suffices to suggest they might.

If somebody came up with a product that actually did work, they know they would be in deep trouble.
I would suspect that it supports multiple encodings, and handle each of them natively

In the IT industry though - at this time - that is probably not a huge risk.
Hot tip: when making a symlink to a directory, include the trailing slash ('ln -s dirname/ linkname') so that if the directory disappears, a copy to the link results in an error instead of creating a file called 'linkname'.

Breaking the Solidity Compiler with a Fuzzer
Back in the day, the company I worked for required all newly hired system and software engineers to take their Unix Fundamentals class. 8 hours a day for 4 days they covered how the shell, coreutils, and filesystems work.

Sometimes people would complain that they didn't need a "beginner" class but I bet there wasn't a single person who didn't learn some important subtlety like how the trailing / works in different situations.

I've never had another company require or even offer a training like that. Do other companies still teach this stuff?

Is it not highly important to tell stories and fairy tales to children? Of course, you should not act like they are true, but there are often lessons that can be learned from tales. Being able to observe different levels of trueness in any story is an important skill to have I think. People like to tell in fairy tale form about their own lives often, so you should not be misled by believing everything, but observe the levels of trueness - (small) lies, omissions, facts - and evaluate what the story means to you. Telling fairy tales and stories to your children and then reflecting with them on the story could improve that skill a lot.
I agree that in terms of pure editor and IDE capabilities, JetBrains is better than Xcode. I am rather thinking of the actual Apple ecosystem with SDK, API's etc.
