> In the very guarded language of accident review I would say that is a damning indictment of the behaviour of the pilot and co-pilot as being completely reckless and bloody stupid.

Well, yes, but these kind of incidents keep happening at AF. Everyone talks about AF447 because it ended in the ocean, but there have been many incidents with AF since AF447, involving serious pilot error which nonetheless ended in a safe landing. So you have to look a bit beyond the "muppets" in the front seats and start to wonder about company culture and training.
Can you consider yourself an A player if you think yourself too good to work with B / C players in a language that, as you say, handcuffs you? I mean it frees you up mentally to think about the bigger problems, beyond the bit of code you're working on right now.

In the end, the person writing the code is just a cog in the machine. You can try and pretend you're an Important cog by being Very Clever and using very smart code, but in the end you're not actually important. If you want to be important, you need to let that code go and move up, towards architecture and company level.

You are ignoring that income taxes and other taxes reduce land rents. You can't tax the same dollar twice after all. The entire reasoning behind a single tax system is that every dollar is taxed through land value taxes in this case.

Yes this does mean that renting/owning low density housing will be more expensive but your income will be much higher to begin with as it isn't taxed.

For example 20% VAT and 30% income tax mean 56% of your money can be spent on housing. Without those taxes you will have almost twice as much money to spend which means you can afford higher land value taxes and if you decrease the amount of land you use, your effective tax burden will go down but so do the costs to maintain infrastructure and other public services.
Yes, I did. The whole point is that I wasn't just a one-or-two-day ghost. I lived in these places for as I said 3-6 months (in one case almost a year). So I knew my neighbors, and treated them as I would neighbors in any other apartment I rented as a regular tenant.

[edit]
I should just add that I'm as embarrassed to make noise or screw with anyone's living space as a homeowner as I was as a tenant. I could make $400/nt renting my own house on Airbnb and go live in Morocco or Chile and just live off the fat of the land (read: being an American with access to credit). I frankly would never do it. I'd rent it to long-term tenants, or I'd sell it, before I'd subject my neighbors on the other side to what the airbnb jerks have subjected me to. And as a tenant, even with a piano that's calling me to play at 2am, I'm not going to wake anyone up.

Many major cities are clamping down hard. Mayors and politicians are under much more pressure from locals to stop their cities turning into, well, Amsterdam. Tourism is fine, but it has increasingly come at the cost of locals.
Absolutely it should leak memory, if that is what it takes to get a program hobbling along. This is a debug build, we already know it doesn't work right, yet. If we didn't know before, the warning told us.

No program is going to ship with whatever bug it allows in, so who cares? The overwhelming majority of your undefined behaviors have no effect on what the person is interested in, right at that moment. They will get around to your crisis on their own time.

You are just insisting that your crisis be vanquished before they are allowed to look into theirs.
I think Kotlin took a more pragmatic approach - basically introducing ? and ! to signify that something could be null or something isn't null even though the compiler cannot see it.
Thanks, didn't see that, but it makes sense.
Ah, sorry. I misunderstood your point, so went into another path.

I don't see how this would work, Rust is already move by default, the problem is how to get std::shared_ptr() like convenience where copy member functions are called by the compiler, with the side effect of taking care of the counters implicitly.

In Rust, copying is explicit, thus manually typing the copy()/clone() calls.
Yeah, an iPad is mostly a "consumption" device and better screens or faster processors or more speakers aren't much of an incentive to upgrade the device when you also consider the higher cost. I guess that is why Apple has been trying to turn it into a laptop like device with the iPad Pro + keyboard. But then, when you consider the limitations of iPadOS, it's becomes very hard to justify the higher cost for the Pro when a laptop is cheaper and more productive for the same use case.
> I am 100% confident this has been reviewed by well paid lawyers at AirBnb who have zero sense of adventure, and that this is all water tight.

I hope you're being sarcastic here, no?
Sure but Inform 6 and Inform 7 are essentially entirely unrelated thought processes; like, I definitely consider Inform 7 to be one of the most fascinating--if, though, at least to my sensibilities: "ridiculous"--programming languages ever designed (and actually used), while Inform 6... is a programming language, sure ;P.

This sounds like an invitation for logic bugs and corruption.

> It’s better than option primarily because it means a lot less code.

Option doesn't need any extra code for checking the presence of a value when it's done right. In Rust, you just place a ? sigil at the end of the option expression. In Haskell, you just use the do syntax where val <- optional will assign the value to `val` if `optional` is some value rather that none, and it will exit the do block otherwise.
The rise started with 15 % in 2020. More or less 0 % were vaccinated at the end of that year.

In 2021 incidences rose another 10 % or so. To ascribe this rise to vaccinations and just shrug at the year before is... creative.

FWIW something that would seem to fit almost perfectly is infections, which were about twice as high in 2021 compared to 2020.

Also: this is an association of "vaccine-critical" firemen asking these questions, and the data is from 911 calls, which are not diagnoses. They are also trending towards being more specific in their classification scheme because they now have specific protocols and equipment for some indications, such as strokes.
Thanks, I missed the linear interp part. I might look into this more for DDS, would be interesting to see how small a lut could be for 90db performance.
Covid has killed hundreds of thousands of people. Your claim is not based on reality.
AMR Ryzen uses perceptrons in it's branch predictor, I'd say that's pretty foundational.
So the purpose of a programming language is to spark joy in developers? I mean, I get it, but it's a very selfish position to take and it's not in the interest of a business, in the end.

I mean, Java makes me feel dead inside, but I appreciate it for being ubiquitous and reliable, and that a business will be able to find half-decent Java developers any day of the week.
It's very, very, very far from close. The most recent study from Christine Stabell out of Copenhagen showed that even if you're in the age group where the vaccine cuts covid mortality in half, you're overall 7% more likely to die by taking the vaccine. We need to get back to the drawing board on this one.
The problem is that in a lot of Western Europe, an actually-good Internet connection is a very rare commodity - DSL is still a thing in 2022.
so, the poster is wrong on the specifics but correct on the general idea that the term third world no longer makes much sense.
3-6 months rentals are not what people usually lease for, at least here it's 3 to 5 years contracts and then keep extending for one year periods. Any flat here rented for 3 to 6 months is a holiday rental and besides being more expensive it's one flat less available for the people that actually want to live in the city.

Any references to this happening all the time?

As a user, I see (generally speaking) how a lot of software has "opinionated" procedures.

The programmers/engineers may have assembled a "perfect" tool (in the sense that it actually solves the problem that it should solve) but often practical usage needs to go through a number of steps that feel "unnatural" to the final user.

In some cases I managed to actually talk to the programmers but what I found most time is a sort of elastic wall, they often concur that this (or that) thing would be better/easier/simpler, then (for this or that reason) they never change it.

Maybe it is just me and my suggestions may well be either "impossible" to implement or plainly stupid, but after having been told a few times "You are right, if we do this it would be better, I am taking this note for next release." and then 1, 2, 3, 4 updates/releases after nothing has changed, it becomes tiring/frustrating to provide feedback/suggestions that will never be implemented.

Only as an example (which is a pet peeve of mine) is input forms, talking of desktop apps nowadays a (say) 1024x768 resolution on a monitor is a "bare minimum".

A single form (entirely viewable without scrolling) can well contain 30/40 input fields, yet (for some reasons) a number of softwares use multi-tabbed (tiny) forms, i.e. for the 30 fields you have three tabs, each one with 10 fields, if you forget an input on a field on tab #1 and go on, you cannot see which field is is missing (as you are on tab #2 or tab #3), then when you confirm you get a missing field error and you have to check all three tabs.
That is not what he said at all. That's a perfect example of a straw man.
Apple has brainwashed you so much that you think you are also saving the planet with its 'amazing' machines. You are not. Collective power saving from computers alone is a drop in the ocean of what all those mega corporations could do if they would just stop pointing the finger of waste management and energy saving on customers.

I wish I had a 5950X that requires less power. I don't. I am going to choose this CPU over any mac any day because it's faster. A lot of other CPUs consume less electricity, I don't use them neither. End of the story.
> I think that utility scale solar will eventually beat residential solar on price because of less labor per watt to install.

Utility scale solar beats residential solar by a huge margin already. New utility scale solar projects on the California grid are priced around $20/MWh [1] compared to feed in tariff rates of $0.08923/kWh = $89.23/MWh [2].

As a renter who can't have solar installed on my home I find it pretty objectionable that my electricity rates subsidise expensive toy systems of homeowners.

Lox is a more featured language than Monkey, meaning that you'll learn more techniques to implement those features. Lox has classes and a garbage collector for the bytecode implementation and is closer to C++'ish languages. While I think Monkey is closer to Javascript.

That being said, I've implemented both in C# (during peak quarantine seasons) and I don't regret doing both of them as they cover slightly different aspects or do the same things differently. Both books are well written, meant for non-CS programmers, and patiently guides you through small chunks of code, so that you end up with an actual working interpreter. As opposed to other books I've seen where there are long blocks of code explained by long paragraphs, and rely on you looking up the "accompanying source code" to figure out how the code pieces together. Thorsten Ball also acknowledges that he also learned from Nystrom's Wren, so there are some things that follow the same approach (the Pratt parser if I remember correctly). WAIG also documents some clever simple optimizations which is nice to know on top of having implemented Lox.

What I appreciate most from WAIG that is absent in CI is how it re-uses its AST from the tree-walking interpreter to make a byte code interpreter. CI on the other hand, writes the bytecode interpreter from scratch (C instead of Java) and doesn't cover how to emit bytecode given an AST (something I had the fun of doing myself for Lox) as it took the single pass compilation approach (with focus on efficiency).
I wish icould re-parent my kids, i made so many mistakes. But, talking to others, everyone does. It's how they end up that cou nts. I've never read so mu
Others will have different views. My perspective isn't meant to demean anyone.

Creating a concept from scratch, manifesting your own vision, and dealing with the business elements is more than just coding. This in my view is entrepreneurship worthy of the role "creator". There is much more to creating than just working with the text editor.

Manifesting someone else's vision, offloading all of the leadership, creative efforts and business problem solving by just focusing on the code is just coding. Perhaps the title here is "programmer".

The distinction is confusing when there are multiple roles that need to be filled. A social media person might reach out and then say, "Why don't you talk to our lead developer about this?". Maybe the outreach person can't close whatever the goal is, but the name "developer" can be interpreted as "programmer". This is confusing for all parties, because the listener wouldn't expect a programmer to close on a sale, brand partnership or other desired action.

Creator vs. programmer nicely handles this distinction. However if every programmer without these extra attributes becomes a creator the distinction is once again meaningless.

How many entrepreneurial creators are asking permission with resumes instead of self-actualizing with their own projects?
> My understanding is, for an American in a EU country, is they can go and work remotely there for the 90 days as long as they are not conducting business in said country.

That's not legal. To work in the EU you need a work visa. Though they ignore the business trips. What's legal and what's checked are different things.

E.g. new foreign colleagues need to get a tax id in The Netherlands before they do any work. Doesn't matter if they came from the US.
I can definitely tell the author put a lot of time and energy into this article and is generally more intelligent than I am so I'm absolutely not trying to be difficult here, but I.. how to put it.. well, disagree. Kind of. It's complex.

You are raising valid engineering concerns. You rightly point out that the handling of permissions on Windows is subpar and Go really sucks balls when it comes to handling files named '\275\262=\274 ⌘'. I mean, it's hard to disagree here and I don't.

It's just hard to shake the feeling these things, in practice, just. do. not. matter. These are issues you solve once with an as ugly-as-needed solution and stow away in a package with a clean interface. I agree, it's not pretty and it would be awesome if the language would have handled this better by default but it just doesn't. Handling of files called '\275\262=\274 ⌘' is not going to convert me to Rust, which while generally awesome also its own - different - set of major issues. Everything is a trade off and Go just sometimes wins, even if it also sometimes sucks. The point is that the stuff it sucks at is usually not important for the domain it's meant to shine in. I'm sorry, handling files on Windows.. I don't know what to say. "I'm sorry" is all I can think of.
Why should they care? The liability is with the person, not the company.

Ah - your day job isn't tech. Was wondering how you could get permission and time to do it.

Every tech job I've had here in SG expected full ownership of any and all IP created whilst an employee, no moonlighting, and always ended up consuming every waking second of my time anyway making the whole point moot.

Good on you for making it all balance and not only feeding your family but spending time with them too (which is bloody hard here).

Not only in AI, anything GPGPU related (just look how many ISO C++ folks are on the payroll of the big three), and all major language and GUI runtimes.
I am living in a country where photos on a resume are the norm and for me it is the other way round. I am interviewing a lot of people at the moment and having a picture with the resume really helps thinking of the applicant as a human being, rather than just a character sheet with skills and abilities. It also helps to remember and associate resumes, it's easier to relate a portrait to a set of skills and a CV than tens of names. You don't have to be a super model, just any professional picture will do that.

It's also an illusion that not having pictures on the resume will reduce Bias in favor of attractive people. It will only push it to a later stage of the interview process.
i have two boys, 3 and 5. You cannot ignore what they are doing. If one of them starts to something wrong the other one joins so you have a double chance of trouble. And if we are outside and they start to misbehave in public you cannot ignore them. If they start to throw things at objects or people you cannot ignore them. If they start to say things that are not appropriate, you cannot ignore them (they favourite word right now is shit). when they start fighting i cannot ignore it. Im reading those opinions online and cannot at all connect it with what im seeing with my kids.
No, it's neutral when used out of context. When put into the context of a descent well-paying job then it can be quite flattering even. It would be much more demeaning to be forced to market yourself with meaningless buzzwords just to stand out in the labour market. Once it's no longer considered enough to be a simple software developer then it's probably time to find a new profession in a different field.
That used to be true, but these days there are many sites selling legal FLAC downloads, like HDtracks, Qobuz, Bandcamp, and Bleep.
You’re correct, will get this fixed.
It would be interesting to see a more serious effort by others to put together a high performance SOC system for gaming or workstations.

I'm writing this on a cheap core i5 system with intel iris xe graphics. Mediocrity is the name of the game for this type of laptop. Everything is mediocre. The screen, the performance, the touchpad, etc. The only good thing about this system: no blazing fans. That seems to be a thing with most SOC based PCs/laptops. Mediocre performance. Non SOC based solutions exist of course but they suck up a lot more power to the point where laptops start having cooling issues and have to do thermal throttling. I've experienced that with multiple intel based macs. You spend all that money and the system almost immediately starts overheating if you actually bother to use what you paid for.

I actually used to have a wooden plank that I used to insulate my legs from my mac book pro. It was simply too uncomfortable to actually use on my lap.

There are separate arrangements for touring groups. However, if you're not from the EU then good luck. You'll notice that there are huge complications after brexit. That said, likely nobody will check, care or notice.
This could be a joke, based on a recent, but now long forgotten pandemic.
The reason they are "obsessed over", or taken into account as someone else may put it, although I'll give you that any kind of social/cultural identity tends to lead to some form of obsession in some people's minds, is because they are deemed significant for locally dependent social/historical/political reasons which I am sure I don't need to give you examples of but will anyway : colonialism, slavery, genocides... You name it

Whereas discrimination exist based of height, weight, and facial symmetry, because they are a little less based on cultural factors, they tend to cross group boundaries and not allow for culture wars because of its more evenly distributed nature.
The interesting thing is that the fact that you took the time to write a comment about them and that they are becoming a social issue is because the culture spheres tend to be bigger and more intertwined with globalization. People who share the same issues can find eachother and aggregate across cultural identities. The incel "movement" is a product of the world wide web, I don't think it would have been possible in another era.

On another hand, I don't think we need to establish hierarchies between discriminations. Although discriminations share a lot of their logic, they also often respond to their own logic. I am all in favor to put in place more mechanisms to avoid it, like any kind of anonymization, but I don't they are an argument against what's already put in place against more socially recognized ones.
A single study generally isn't conclusive, especially in a field with as many confounding factors as public health policies.

It'll take a lot of time and hard work to decisively say if there's an effect and to what degree. The various studies and meta-analysis I've read appear to indicate that masks somewhat slowed the transmission rate, but overall didn't greatly reduce final case counts. There's enough uncertainty that I believe we'll need solid RCTs to get better answers. There was on large RCT slated to happen in west African country (Rwanda maybe?) where covid-19 hadn't hit.
