Yeah, the title says "no one noticed" while the article says "my kid didn't notice" + no users complained. Which makes sense because this is an app that parents are making their kids use. The parents don't use the app and the kids have to. Who is going to complain that the interface changed?
As far as I can tell it's a useless language that will not replace anything.

It's memory-unsafe, so you might as well use C++ instead, or if you want a "newer" language, then use Rust instead.
When you set things up on your local machine, then this tooling is great. However, once you want to package your stuff, or want to maintain support for a stable distro, you're in for a hell of a ride if you decide to go with Rust. It's not impossible, but it can give you nightmares.
Canada is turning out to be quite the country for nuclear innovation, because their regulators are much friendlier to new technology than the NRC in the US. Terrestrial Energy (a molten salt reactor company) has spoken highly of them, and Moltex (another MSR company) moved there as a result.
You can replace C for new code (arguably) but how the hell does one replace legacy C? Can Unix realistically be rewritten in something else? Or Postgres?

This did also occur to me, but I don't have any experience of it.

I do know that solo designers working in a team of commercial devs often find it a miserable experience.
This is basically "Get a native-level English speaker to skim your document and flag/fix problems" as a service, and critically, it's inexpensive enough to be realistic for individuals.

Reaching native-level skill in a language is incredibly difficult – much harder than becoming fluent. For non-native speakers who need to publish professionally in English, this is a powerful service.

I had to work around them for some datacenter mail relays. The only solution I found was to sum up the number of mail relays behind a SNAT and then apply rate limits for their domain to not exceed 6 concurrent connections total per SNAT. To your point and AFAIK they do not document this anywhere.
Happy user of Postmark here for multiple projects.

I get it.

Hope Active Campaign keeps it running and hopefully it won’t end up like Mandrill.
The economics argument has to be understood in the larger political context.

Nuclear doesn't have a big support base. It's basically only supported by educated technocrats.

And those educated technocrats are already holding their nose, because they know big government projects are often late and over budget. And the designs that are intrinsically safe haven't been built before. And if there was a meltdown, the taxpayer would have to foot the bill. And nobody's going to want the plants built in their area. And a permanent waste repository has been a political football for longer than most of us have been alive.

At the same time, if you squint hard enough when you look at the figures, solar+wind+batteries look cheaper.

Squinting that way is pretty tempting if you were on the fence anyway.
Agreed, and use-package is a big reason for this. New users, take heed and use-package from the start. Regarding the topic of using both Vim and Emacs, I do, but switching from one to the other can really mess me up. I would prefer to just use one, generally, and use TRAMP instead of Vim when possible for editing server configs and such. I have considered using EVIL mode, but I am wary of losing touch with default Emacs, as it's something that comes up from time to time as well.

Stage0---of with cc_x86.c is a part---as a project started off from the
bottom (hex0) and is working up. When stage0 just started, I created
GNU Mes soon to be folowed by MesCC, which aimed to build a version of
TinyCC and the remaining bootstrap for GNU Guix. The first versions of
mescc had its own linker, which was later in a joint effortt replaced by
M1 and hex2 from MesCC-Tools (also part of Stage0.

My initial idea for Mes was to translate it by hand to assembly, so the
M1 assembler would come in handy. As it turned out, cc_x86.c and its
next step M2-Planet were developed as part of Stage0.

Starting from an 357-byte hex0 provided by the bootstrap-seeds,
Stage0-posix builds hex0, kaem, hex1, catm, hex2, M0, cc_x86, M1, M2,
get_machine, (mescc-tools), and M2-Planet. M2-Planet in turn builds
Mes, which builds a bootstrappable TinyCC, etc.
I've attended a few Haskell conferences over the years and the make up tends to be fairly evenly split between PL researchers, defence, aerospace, and finance. I recall the food stop after an event at Imperial where our table was twenty-ish people from Airbus, Barclays, Lockheed, QinetiQ, and Thales.

If you're looking to work in Haskell there are some avenues to hunt down. Same caveats as with Standard Chartered and Meta mentioned in the article, there is Haskell but it is scuttling around in the corners not flowing from everywhere.

Eh, Ionic is good. I’ve retired native apps that I wrote, in favor of Ionic apps that someone else wrote, and felt fine about it.

But that “someone else” is a very good engineer, that did a great job.

Good software is always gonna be difficult and expensive; regardless of the tools and platforms. Good engineers are expensive, and take the time to do things right. No shortcuts. No free lunch.

We get all hung up on the tools, as if they make us good. It’s like someone with money, buying a top-of-the-line PRS guitar, and playing Smoke Over the Stairway to Freebird.

If a tool makes it easy to do something cool, and, suddenly, we can do something we couldn’t, before, that’s nice. Enjoy it while it lasts. Some kid will blow us out of the water, using the same tool, shortly.

Native will always give the best UX, if done by expert native developers, but, in many cases, this may not make financial sense.

Also, bad native developers will do bad work; even though they are using top-shelf tech (Smoke Over…).
Or SQLite - https://www.sqlite.org/whyc.html
Yes, but only for tiny tools or toys.

Most software have dependencies that should be managed, linked in, figure the header file path of etc.
Most software consists of several files which you don't want to re-build every time you change just 1 file (unless you change compiler flags etc.). It's a very tiny step from your example until the C or C++ toolchain becomes far from easy.
Yeah, it looks really tempting to have seamless electronics/PCB + mechanical CAD tool. I was wondering if anyone had some experience they could share with producing PCB's using the Fusion-360 toolchain.

I've used it for mechanical and I found it extremely polished and intuitive and totally worth the subscription for that alone, but I have neither the time nor project (yet) to go down the rabbit hole of learning the ECAD functions of Fusion-360.
Explore away, the direction doesn't matter as much as the things you learn along your path.

Install Firefox Android and use Reader Mode on that.

If you want to save the article for offline reading with pagination, use the Print to PDF option on the Chromium-based Kiwi Browser, and select A5 paper. This is narrower and shorter than US Letter, so it'll flow better on a 7-inch screen.

Finally, if you want to convert articles to EPUB, you can do so by pasting the link into: https://dotepub.com/converter/?lang=en . On desktop, I have a FF extension that handles this, but it doesn't work on Android.

I get overly excited with any e-ink release. Always looking for the Kindle that can do just a little bit more without becoming a distraction from reading.

Also, always looking for a Kindle that's less Amazon-y but still convenient.

It's probably a unicorn. Any Android device I'd probably get distracted too often and wind up frustrated with how poorly the distractions run on e-ink. I suspect that non-amazon e-readers have probably reached whispersync levels of convenience after a short learning curve but don't have any evidence to base that on.

Also, why can't Lenovo follow up the Yoga Book C930?!

Anyway, yay e-ink!

I agree with you, such a bittersweet taste in the mouth.

I don't think that a Marketing company is the right type of company to run Postmark.

Postmark care about deliverability not about "engagement". Everything is about being sure your mail get to your clients not about how to craft marketing campaign from their product.

How much do you bet ActiveCampaign is going to add some email editor and campaign management feature to Postmark ?

I truly hope they won't touch their acquisition and let it run how it always has instead of adding feature that doesn't make sense with the product just to compete with MailChimp and other big names.
Hell yeah brother. A decade long dream come true.

This. Plus: Macros.

I just recently had an opportunity to flex my "wizard muscles" in a case where we had to feed a test consisting of about a hundred similar messages with minimal differences (numbers) to a system in order to reproduce an issue.

"Can't we try to reproduce this?"
"Maybe, but we'd need a lot of messages in order to reproduce this."
"And...?"
"That's tedious."

"Watch me" *grinning*

A couple of edits and a `100@q` later, we were ready to go.
The list is very long. And also I'm not sure for all use cases Rust is a better C.

If only there was a way to distribute large files in a peer-to-peer manner, thus reducing the load on facebook's servers to effectively nothing. That would likely result in a torrent of bits being shared without any issues!
This is a big issue when the org you are at doesn't give you space to refactor and rework your system. Because the value added of refactoring is opaque to business goals (why are you spending time on something that was already working fine?) it can be soul crushing to know your first (crappy) try at something is the one that counts and there are no do overs.
Just a nitpick Clang is a specific C/C++ compiler implementation using LLVM, not the C language. Names are hard :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clang
Does rust have any other implementations? It seems like that would help adoption as well.
Your Web page should not need to know the CPU architecture and should not be allowed to know the CPU architecture. Any "feature" that supports that in any way is a bad idea.

Software distribution is a trivial corner case that does not justify either the complexity or the security risk of giving that out.
Hey there, Rian here (Head of Product at Postmark). We definitely understand the "mixed feelings" response for an acquisition like this. A couple things I want to reiterate:

* The entire Postmark team is joining ActiveCampaign, and we are going to continue to operate the way we have always operated for the foreseeable future. That includes the support team you love!

* We definitely don't plan to change any of the things we do to ensure the highest deliverability in the industry. We are not, for example, making any changes to the manual approval process—that will definitely continue.

So hare's target niche is people who want to use hare? On the first blog post and the ensuing conversation here that wasn't clearly stated (at least as far as I can tell). It seems a little strange that the programming language's niche would be "idk why not"... but then again why can't it be?
I would say VPN and monero are the digital equivalent to a balaklava and cash.

Did you ever use any of those in "real life", or only when committing crimes?
Nocode misses the point in my opinion.

The hard part of problem solving with software is not writing the code, it's understanding and solving the problem.

You have to do that whether you use nocode or code. It just so happens that the people who are highly skilled at solving new or abstract problems have built a whole ecosystem of highly effective tools for executing the solutions to new or abstract problems, and they're very efficient at using them.

If you have the problem solving skills but not the coding ability and you need to rapidly prototype an idea and you don't have time to learn how to code, then a nocode platform could be a great short term choice.

You'll have to throw it in the bin if it turns out to be a success though!
Same as Mullvad. Personally, the greatest feature of Mullvad is that they accept cash sent in envelopes, it doesn't get more (proven) private than that. Does AirVPN offer something similar?

You probably do know. If you've read the reactions online, you'll probably know some vocal fans are disappointed with the new art style. This is Ron's reply to them.

There will be exceptions. You are one. I am another. But it doesn't invalidate Ron's point, because it's easy to fact-check it by going online and looking for opinions, even in Ron's own blog.

> Hare as a project seems to have a very sober, laser focus. I initially didn't get it, but this article made it click.

But I don't "get it." Why would I choose Hare over plain old C? What are the motivating features of the language that make it "worth it?"

Remember: It's a pretty big hurdle to write something in a lesser-known language. If I had to convince a team of developers to choose Hare over C/C++/Rust, what would be the argument in Hare's favor?
Maybe I'm missing something, but why is "not sponsoring podcasts" a plus for a VPN service? Personally Mullvad is my favorite and AFAIK, they also don't sponsor any podcasts, but I don't think that would influence how I feel about Mullvad.
I'm not sure that calling dice "retarded" or using the term "fagtard" reflects appropriate language for 2022.

It is certainly trickier than I expected at the onset of starting the project (which is true of pretty much everything related to the email space), but not overly onerous.

The universe could stop expanding 'remarkably soon', study suggests
"We calculate the correlations between 2 securities on the daily closing values of the last 20 years."

It's better to correlate daily returns than daily prices, since the latter are nonstationary, and I suggest using 1 year of daily returns rather than 20 since correlations do change over time. When I worked as a financial quant no one looked at 20 year correlations to measure near-term risk.
Klarna recently stopped supporting Haskell internally. Still supported are Clojure and Erlang.
Add a closed source dependency in Rust and see how far cargo takes you.
I couldn't find that option, so I'd say no
Another point for projectile - 3 main features:

1. Open project. Projectile uses source control files eg. .git to establish the project root, and remembers it. It's very smart about it, in my experience. No configuration required.

2. Open file in project. With the project root established, open any file that's part of the project. Notably this excludes files that are eg. ignored by .gitignore. Again, very smart behavior. If you know generally what you are looking for, you should be able to find it in a few keystrokes.

3. Grep in project. If I'm working in something that doesn't play too nice with looking up references, or generally just can't find it, this is the next best thing. It's just grep, but within the scope of your project, and a nice interactive list of files to be searched or perused at your leisure.

I also use ibuffer, but I guess you would probably have the same issues with it as with dired. Both are just emacs buffers and can be searched, etc. just as any other buffer. Mostly I use iBuffer to make sure buffers are saved and close them en masse.
Very cool!

Where are you getting the historical data? There's a ton of fun stuff you can do with this kind of long-horizon of data
Maybe it's just because I am more familiar with C/C++, but I disagree.

Cargo is very opinionated, forcing upon you certain directory structures and even a default VCS. If you have a large project, cargo makes you jump through hoops. Building multiple binaries and libraries from one project is a pain, and has to be done exactly as cargo wants.

In terms of being able to "just get started", I think `gcc app.c` is way easier than using cargo. But that's not really important. You're not going to replace a million line C project with Rust just because "getting started" was a few seconds faster/slower.
I didn't get "tongue in cheek" from this, but preteen angst.
As far as I know, the term was originally used to mean roughly "always be arranging like objects in parallel or 90-degree angles" [0] [1]. The idea is to keep your workplace tidy as you work, meaning that you keep your tools and working pieces organized as you go. Taking pictures of knolled workspaces etc is a more recent addition from the social media generation if I'm not mistaken.

If you know of a homomorphic encryption scheme that would work for this and remain economically viable for other people to host, let me know. I simply don't think it's reasonable to expect that degree of privacy, much less on a Twitter clone. If you want privacy, use Matrix or OMEMO.
