I don't think they were joking either — is incongruous with their first statement.

Calling it a "dumb take" however is more likely to invite fighting rather than discussion.

Is there any historical evidence that the conspiracy theorists were ever half-right (or right at all)? To be sure, there have been conspiracies in the past but our inability to keep a secret seems to have always trumped attempts to conceal (but IANAH, I am not a historian).

imo, most code can do just fine with GC. modern GCs can be relatively low overhead even with guaranteed small pauses (10ms). furthermore, most code that can't handle pauses can be written to not allocate any memory (so GC can be temporarily turned off). as such, the only two places where you need manual allocation are for OS development, and hard real time requirements.

Teams is absolute garbage. Every single app on my MBMax opens instantly except for teams (and Affinity Photo, which I’d expect).

Absolutely horrible garbage of an app.

Microsoft has zero incentive to fix it, because they have a captive audience i. Their enterprise customers.
That's preposterous and I can easily prove why. Do you think it is just and fair that once a factory makes back its cost that it should then go profit free? Of course not. So there must be something different between public and private organizations. But train stations need not be public only - Japanese train stations are owned by companies. Just because something is done by the public does not fundamentally change anything about it. It's just a different source of funds.

The true unjust behavior is the monopolization of land, land that through many inheritences and sales ultimately comes from force and violence. Us Georgists understand that monopolization of land is a good thing, and allows much further uses that an anarchist model would allow, but you need to pay your fair share.

After investments are covered, the entirety of the benefit DOES belong to the people. Ultimately those taxes are coming back to the citizens the way that the citizens decide is the best use of them.

And this is before we get into how the bad incentives produce all sorts of car-centric and SFH-centric developments, as those waste the most amount of land, and the more the land is wasted the more it costs. Rising costs allow the speculator to buy even more land to waste. This eventually makes those train stations unviable, which hurts everyone.

The whole "birds are fake" thing is a long running and largely apolitical joke that predates 2017 by at least a decade. That's where this Peter guy got the idea from in the first place. The Guardian is complete trash. They will write anything and pass it off as factual to get clicks. It's nakedly propagandistic in its attempt to tie every unpopular idea back into one public personality (Trump) and push petty tribalism that way. There is no large group of Trump supporters/voters who believe birds are battery powered. Not everyone you politically disagree with is a moron who lacks agency.
If you're talking about lizard people, sure.

But subliminal messaging is considered a conspiracy theory. Maybe it's not as obvious as messages played backwards, but if it's not happening already, there are definitely people working on it. The UK Government has a "nudge unit". I suppose arguably it's not a conspiracy theory any more because we all just assume it goes on.

Are the vaccine conspiracies really that outlandish, in a world where the US government once intentionally infected black people with syphilis and let them die in the Tuskegee syphilis study? (I'm triple vaxxed, just pointing it out.)

At one point before Snowden, the whole NSA thing was considered a conspiracy theory by many.

World governments have done some really crazy things in the past and kept it secret for a long time. Why do we assume now is any different?
Haha totally! That’s the true test
If you liked this article, check out the Joe Rogan podcast with Jewel[1]. She talks a lot about her rise to stardom and how she was able to maintain creative freedom with good financial decisions.

Yeah, it's one of those things where the term everyone uses strayed from the etymology. Probably because in the GitHub UI it still calls this a pull request despite not pulling from a different remote.

Either way, if you read the thread, the folks are arguing that giving someone the power to block code getting into the mainline is bad. Judging by what you described, where someone has to approve before it can be merged, we both agree to disagree with them. We are just arguing the semantics of how that is implemented.
If your are using vscode with the rust analyzer plugin, you are constantly "compiling". This is how the inline hints, errors, typehints are done. My 3 year old i5 laptop struggled with this, my new desktop 12th gen i7 has the power so it never slows down, but if you look at the syst monitor, you can see that it does do quite some work.

If you have this plus some of the other electron hogs (teams, slack, a browser with 30 tabs of stack overflow), your system does have a proper load.
As a user it's nice to have the option of foregoing the feature.
That is my charitable response. Your anecdata is worthless.

The economic situation of young Americans has significantly declined over time. Failure to recognize that as, hard stop, the most important factor, means your perspective is way off.

The way you describe your use case I think you are fine with a language with garbage collection like Nim (which has has a syntax a bit like Python) or Crystal. I would also throw Go in the ring or if you are interested to learn a bit of functional programming then you also could look at Ocaml.

Zig has no garbage collection btw, but makes it easier than C to handle that.
Another language without garbage collection that helps a lot to avoid memory issues is Ada (Looks a bit like Pascal). So there are alternatives to Rust.
To stop climate change with nuclear power, you wouldn't risk "a few tons of nuclear waste" (which we already can't store safely), but it would have to be scaled up by a factor of ten at least. The plants and waste storage sites would have to be everywhere. Including where there is no trustworthy government. Including where people can shoot at the sites, steal material for dirty bombs, start their own nuclear weapons program and whatever.

So no, "a few tons of nuclear waste" really doesn't capture the problem...
Is it open source? No links to the source are provided anywhere and a cursory search based on the name doesn’t reveal any public location to retrieve the source code form either.
Of the ones you mentioned, Zig is the only one that has explicit memory management.

> Is it worth learning

Languages are easy to pick up once you understand fundamentals. The borrow checker is intuitive if you have an understanding of stack frames, heap/data segment, references, moved types, shared memory.

You then should be asking "Is it worth using?", then evaluate use cases.. pros/cons.. etc.

For CLI, Rust is likely the easiest given it's macros, but if you struggle with the borrow checker then it won't be. You will be fighting the compiler instead of developing something.

Depending what your CLI program is doing, you might want to evaluate what libraries are available, how they handle I/O, and parallelism.

JavaScript has incredibly easy and fast concurrent I/O thanks to libuv and v8.
I want to see a post of someone putting together a DIY high speed (300MB/s+) LTO tape drive for less than say $500. I suspect the tape drive market is full of overpriced solutions and could use the disruption.

There are internet rumors vs what he, his mom and brother say about him showering at the YMCA and only being able to afford one computer when starting Zip2.

That's why I said "may have", because his mom and brother aren't non-bias sources, and nor are insecure people on the Internet who want to explain away why they have achieved little despite having relatively the same or more privilege. The latter project this discomfort the most aggressively.
Comparing with abstract steel is kind of useless as the strength of common steel varies by factor of 3. If one compare the cheapest steel and exotic alloys (that are often only produced in Sweden and may cost more than silver), then the difference is at least a factor of 20.
Would make sense to provide it as an option, and approach candidates without side projects in a different way. I would much rather show up with code I've already written and use that as a starting point for conversation.

I'm getting good results with MDHearingaid.com Air[0] over the past eight years. They work in reasonable environments, like the home, but aren't enough in a noisy, crowded room. Right now, they are $300 a pair, which is reasonable. Buy your mom a present for mother's day!

I had a Bose Hearphone, but it broke. It worked quite well - I think about as well as the high priced aids. Sadly, Bose discontinued it (why??) and I can't replace it. With four mics, it was able to cancel sounds from behind you. You only really heard the person you were facing.

Edit: I notice their dual-microphone Volts are selling for $300 a pair, also. I haven't tried them - but dual mic is what you need in noisy environments. Might be a really good deal.

Yes. I was just at a cancer biology conference with thousands of posters (multiple days). This year, it was also hybrid, where posters also had to uploaded to be viewable by virtual attendees. But these were still full posters, not a slide deck. However, physical posters were still there and much more useful than a digital equivalent would be.

When walking the isles with that many posters, you’re not just looking for ones that you flagged because of the title or abstract. You’re also looking for new work, or things that catch your eye. I stopped and talked to a person who’s poster I just happened to walk by because it had the words “Shannon Entropy” on it. Turned out, I learned something because of it.
Maybe but given that it is an apple machine things arent user replaceable.
The right's already got they wanted censored. Most people don't learn real American History until college. In my view, they're mad in part because the internet now exists, and people are reconsidering figures that maybe shouldn't have ever been put on a pedestal. And a lot of mistakes on the part of the police wouldn't have come to light without smartphones. The right needs to mount a counter-offensive to this. They've got "porn" censored in the media, but gratuitous depictions of gun violence is okay. What's okay to publish is very much biased for the right.

There are issues with the American left, but this isn't really it.

My issue with the right is that these grievances (amongst others) are legitimate, and instead of settling back, figuring it out politically, and doing better, a lot of folks decided that they rather just have power by any means, as if it's some pride thing. There ought to be folks from ethnic minorities (like myself) voting for some mix of both parties, but the politics of the right were unpalatable even before Jan 6. I could vote for folks like Schwarzeneggar, Romney, Murkowski, and Collins, but there's not many more. That's doubly a problem because you always need a counter-balance in Western democracies. I do not want to be voting down the column.

The left fights dirty and illegitimately in its own ways. I'm not sure if it's better or worse than the right, but if you want some neutrality, it's in my view that the dirty fighting is questionable simply because I see it backfiring on both sides. The left creates their own bubble-chamber, which works against them.

If it weren't for gerrymandering securing safety seats for each political party (which ends up benefitting the extremes on both ends), I'd think everyone (including the folks at the "extremes") would be better off. Which isn't to let the moderates off the hook. Part of the reason why there's so much petty drama is because turnout at the primaries is what it is. We all need to take our responsibility in this drama and make things better. There's way too much intellectual laziness and/or regressing to narcissism going on.
And still folks think that if side loading is forced on Apple, that companies will not force us to start side loading their apps to escape this "apocalypse".
I think it is a stretch to think that this is a money making endeavor.

Scams to make money like MLMs and Scientology prioritize payment over adherence to the tenants of the organization. And the leaders are paid millions of dollars and live luxurious lives. AA is more like the Salvation Army. It is a group that clearly believes things that are not scientifically true, but most people join with good intentions.
I think HTTP request signing will be a non-starter for an interoperable standard like oauth because of the difficulty of canonicalization without an authoritative library. AWS can pull that off because they have an SDK that will canonicalize requests for you, and it's tested in lockstep with the server accepting it. Historically, XML (and JSON to a lesser extent) have been security minefields for this exact reason.
There's plenty of evidence, and the 5nm architecture is far from the only part of the story. Would an x86 on 5nm suddenly be able to run without a fan?
That only works for daily addicts. Otherwise, the low-volume accounts get lost in all the fast-posting people.
“Cancel culture” is about people losing their jobs and being censored from platforms like Twitter for making arguments or jokes that rub the politically powerful the wrong way. Again, it’s the active removal of the practical ability of expression that rational adults are concerned with, not the fact that others have contrary opinions to them. Again, you are exposing your ignorance.
There's also some "voluntary cover" involved; people who know things are eager to tell what they know as well as avoid the consequences. So they're likely to add a dose of crazy too, to disassociate what might be recognizably their experiences into something they can deny at need.

Few people tell their stories with full fidelity anyway, we gloss over our mistakes and make everything better and less banal by instinct.
Looks neat, but why does it need to have a keyboard on two sides? They could probably sell it for a lot less if they simply sold a left-handed and right-handed model separately...
To sell constant growth and population addition, rhetoric is developed where merely staying in place is vilified.

‘Eternal September’ is a problem.

Every so often I find some place that represents a new low in IQ. Fetlife, for instance has a lot of people on it who have little more to say for themselves but ‘I have a dick.’
One can draw a very similar arc for lottery winners too. Most of them are broke and vagrant after ~2 years of luxury. There's no planning for tomorrow.

The people most drawn to lotteries (and perhaps those drawn to the limelight too) are those that have the worst life and money skills. I think we all know people who live the feast or famine lifestyle of cruises and new TVs when the tax refund comes followed by 11 months of scraping by and complaining about their money situation.
If all you read out of that article was blaming, then you didn't read it very closely.

The main takeway that I took from that article was the seemingly low effort improvement that could be made to the UI/UX of that action, which could help other people not make the same mistake.

That's not about blaming Github vs. themselves, it's a reasonable critique of an existing system and looking for ways to make it better for everyone.

Unless you think there is no room for improvement in that system at all.
Lovely. Genuinely super nice
I'm with Nate here. Commits are a form of documentation and can be useful for grouping together related changes. All of this context is lost when squash merging. That said, I do aggressively rebase and amend commits on the feature branch to consolidate commits into one for each change, including any minor fixes discovered later.

For example:

When I want to see tests or documentation or config related to a change, I'll find the commit and look for other lines changed at the same time.

When I make automated changes to the code, like reformats, auto-corrections by a linter, or IDE refactors, I create a separate commit to separate mechanical changes from those that require more human scrutiny.

> There simply isn't an incentive for many mod owners to update their mods to the latest version

There is quite a strong incentive. What there is not, is means — Forge and Minecraft have both changed dramatically between versions, to the point that many mod developers throw their hands up in the air and rewrite the mod entirely. For something complex enough that that isn't an option, for instance Electrical Age, it's easy to remain stuck on an older version forever.

There's no documentation, and the API owners often assume that forcing a complete rewrite of major parts of the mod is fine. It's really not.
Is there even a new "it" recently for instrument playing musicians?
No, unless this is done globally at once, which is never gonna happen as people lack discipline and the ability to make small but meaningful sacrifices. But it's also in animals now, so, yeah, won't be easy, but half-ass measures are useless, I believe.
The lifetime of the memory a smart pointer manages is very predictable. It will have the same lifetime as the smart pointer itself (this is ignoring moves).

From the past discussion:

http://wirfs-brock.com/allen/posts/914 - a direct response, well worth the read as it provides more context and a different perspective.

From my recent reading list:

Evolution of Smalltalk: From Smalltalk-72 through Squeak by Dan Ingalls: http://worrydream.com/refs/Ingalls%20-%20The%20Evolution%20o... [pdf]. It's 101 pages but also worth reading, if for nothing else that what I found to be a really interesting story of how Smalltalk-80 was essentially bootstrapped from the similaryl named but nowhere as capable Smalltalk-72

The Early History of Smalltalk by Alan Kay: http://worrydream.com/EarlyHistoryOfSmalltalk/

Kay and Ingalls do a good job discussing the actual history of Smalltalk but with their own focus being on what it enabled, with very little interest in the actual commercial side of things. Wirfs-Brock's post gives more information about the context of Smalltalk in the commercial and enterprise setting.
WhatsApp forked and made changes to Erlang afaik, and in any case despite being a hugely influential app they are a tiny team, that's not gonna change the number of Erlang jobs much.
You can store them in the repo and encrypt them with Mozilla sops. You can use a cloud managed key like AWS KMS or a GPG key.

If you manage your own key, you can store it in a password manager or use a USB hardware key to store it

You could also use object/blob storage or your local filesystem to store a config file and optionally apply encryption to that
