This is an amazing page. It has no credible citations. It recommends bizarre ingredients (raw chicken liver, frozen for a minimum of 14 days!) [0]. It likes raw milk (just don’t do that please). It thinks egg yolk is critical at 4 weeks but egg white can’t be given to babies less than 1 year old.

Or you could feed your baby something that is tested as being fit for its purpose and is (nominally) tested as free from dangerous contamination by a disinterested (and nominally competent) government agency.

No policy is going to be correct all the time, just as no policy is going to be incorrect all the time. Choosing to apply economic and military pressure against Italy was the right thing to do in that specific set of circumstances. Just because it was the right thing to do in that circumstance doesn’t mean it was the right thing to do in every other circumstance. I would posit that broadly, this kind of guilty-by-association economic harm is the wrong choice more often than not.
Sure, deployment can be tricky, however the big question then is if you make it extendable by plugins or scriptable then is the process you will use for testing, managing and deploying these plugins or scripts any easier?

I have seen cases where you go to pretty much the same effort as the "core" deployment, so the deployment benefits of the configurable option were fake but the complexity costs were real.
I really like this concept but I find it a bit frustrating that the name for the naming convention doesn’t follow its own convention. Shouldn’t it be called “endian-big”? ;)
The Fed can't do much at all to stop corporate-controlled price increases. Increasing interest rates makes it more expensive to borrow money, but that has little impact on a company choosing to bump its retail prices by 25%.

M2 is only relevant to a point. The increase in the money supply does not, in and of itself, cause any change in prices at all. Individuals and corporations have to make explicit decisions to respond to what they can see of the M2 effect, and none of these decisions are a law of nature. Rents don't have to go up just because M2 grew. Landlords sense that they can, and then they choose to do so. They could choose not to do so, too, but they don't because we're taught that this would be irrational, or something.

In short: This is an 'epidemic' of diagnosis, caused by expanding the definition, not an actual increase of cases. From requiring full set of signs and diagnosis before age 3 to allowing anything on the spectrum and any age, that immediately qualifies many cases who wouldn't begin to qualify in the '80s, and of course awareness by physicians and parents also increases diagnosis.

It's good to see a team really examine a good and huge dataset and apply some proper science.
2007 is old these days? I think that's when my netbook I bought refurbished is from originally, and I never had an issue running Slackware 14.2 on it, without even bothering to figure out anything to tweak. I'm still salty that Linus went and made the kernel too beefy to run on 286's. I'm sure this is useful to someone out there, but have to wonder how on earth you can showcase Linux on old hardware without even mentioning Slackware. It seems almost downright disrespectful. The only choke point I'd assume you might run into would be with full weight modern browsers, but if you can be content to run something like Midori or Surf you're golden.

You’re right we do have a standard but that’s not the same as having regulations in place to enforce those standards. Normally, I wouldn’t mind a free market approach but with electric cars, we want to accelerate adoption as much as we can. We don’t have the luxury of waiting 10-20 years for Tesla to finally come to senses.
When you're dealing with low-level compiler tool-chains like this, it's more accurate to say they translate a subset of python syntax (or the AST) into a lower level language (either machine code, or an ASM), so the dependence on dictionaries as a implementation detail of classes/objects (or really anything else that relies on dict) isn't really there (some things may break, but that's because they rely on a particular CPython implementation detail). Well, outside of dicts themselves. Having worked with a similar system, it's really better to think of it like embedded C and write code imperatively (and no dict, just arrays/lists).
Not a solo founder, but this is a huge part of it. Do not deploy changes to code or architecture unless you CAN be on call to fix what breaks.
I hope this article is satire.

Knowing that abstraction is going to add value vs. speculating that it will? That should be the difference between adding the extra investment upfront vs. inciting YAGNI (you aint gonna need it).

The footprint of “times you thought you didn’t need it but actually did” is extremely small. Also those are called “learning opportunities” not “mistakes”.

The current levels of inflation weren't planned. But lowering interest rates it's so tempting and easy, and rising them so unpopular.

I'm not quite able to verbalize exactly why, but when I see the set of { "coord", "x", "min" }, it sounds to me like the most intuitive way to put it would be "x_coord_min", but this seems to violate the rule that GP gave, since "coord" here seems to be "greater" than "x" given that "x" is an answer to "what kind of coordinate?". The best explanation I can come up with is that "x coordinate" feels like a coherent logical unit and that splitting it would make it more work for me to parse as a reader, and then "min" follows that because "min_x_coord" sounds like it would be something like the "minimum x coordinate" for a given window or something. I wish I could come up with some consistent universal rule for how to order these things, but I can't really come up with any other process to describe how to get what's the most intuitive other than "look at all of them and see what sounds right". I guess it's not unreasonable to say that ordering three "words" is fairly easy to brute force looking at all of them, and beyond that it's probably worth reconsidering the naming (and perhaps scoping) of the variables you need to disambiguate, but it's not nearly as satisfying as having some sort of objective rule.
From a quick internet skim, fluorocarbons are uncommon, they are used for two phase cooling (boiling and condensing). Single-phase immersion cooling is far more common e.g. Electrosafe (used in Intel’s 2012 tests [1]) is a hydrocarbon fluid.

Quote from googling: “Single phase immersion cooling fluids can come under several categories which include: hydrofluoroethers, hydrocarbons, silicon oils and water/glycol. Single phase immersion cooling has benefits over 2 phase immersion cooling, in that they tend to be less expensive both due to the liquid itself and the system used to contain them. The ease of implementation was highlighted by Varma [132] who compared Novec 7000, a 2-phase fluorocarbon-based fluid, to GRC Electrosafe, a single phase hydrocarbon based fluid”

> Only if one is pedantic. There's no practical problem at all customizing C compiler semantics for weird architectures. After all, everybody did it for DOS C compilers.

Resorting to non-standard extensions locks you in with that specific compiler. This is the exact reason why standards exist in the first place.

> People do use it for embedded work. I don't know why you wouldn't think it would work.

The lead developer seems to have strong knee-jerk reactions to things that he does not understand and limited understanding of what microcontrollers are or what embedded software does. Who really cares about porting diff to a system that doesn't have filesystem or text console?

I agree that integral type promotions are a great way to shoot oneself in the foot, but the other explanations are not really convincing. If you did read the comments you are responding to, you should already know that int is not always 32 bits.
OOP languages shouldn't need getters and setters because there shouldn't be even a concept of variable access and mutation, just all method calls - that's what OOP is all about, after all, not just putting variables into bags and staying in a procedural mindset.
Keep in mind that there are some very good reasons the Smalltalk ecosystem wasn't adopted.

#1 it's a burden of knowledge to shift from the Unix filesystem to the Smalltalk runtime. There... are no files.

#2, quite honestly Pharo Smalltalk has only gotten good in the last 3-4 years. And even then, it has 1-2 really noticeable bugs and what I'd argue are extremely subpar default keybindings, due to it being such a small community.

For 30+ years, the only really decent run-times were paid ones you bought for $1k per developer in 1980s dollars. No FOSS.

IMO the programming language ecosystem we have today was heavily cemented in the 2005-2010 period. These days the JVM/Python/Javascript/C ecosystems are huge juggernauts.

They're not about the programming languages themselves. They're about the massive integration with their underlying compilers, and massive library of tools available.

#3, it's a dynamic language for obvious reasons. It's hugely beneficial for applications development, but it's still a slow dynamic language for backend work.

And #4. The elephant in the room:

End users are divided between Windows, MacOS/BSD, and locked down phone platforms, nobody makes native applications.

Everything is a webapp, because an HTML page is truly cross platform.

I don't think engineers are wrong to congregate towards webapps. SwiftUI is still extremely amazing after all, but it only produces native MacOS apps. Which is rubbish.

But it's important to know your tools, deeply, and understand the context behind the application development industry.

For every "what if it changes?" question you can (and should!) get someone with a decent long-term experience (for this question, skill isn't sufficient, years/decades matter) in that business domain (preferably also software maintenance in that business domain) to say how likely it is to actually change.

You can ask that question about anything, but the answer should be different depending on the actual likelihood of change.

This feels wrong, too. You are presenting one option as a settled thing because it has a proposed mechanism.

Well, there's "just a bit odd" as in Dan Aykroyd and there's "just a bit odd" as in Christian Weston Chandler. Even within the verbal "high functioning" band, the autism spectrum is still a spectrum.

And it really is a social disability, not a superpower. We really only display advantages in things we train ourselves to be proficient in, which tend to he things that do not bore or frustrate us because of other people's expectations of us. I got proficient in computers because a computer was host to a tiny world in which I had absolute control. But a sufficiently motivated allistic person could get just as proficient in this field as I. In fact the advantage has swung back toward allistics because the MBAs have taken over computing as a profession, and through Agile, Scrum, and other methodologies and "best practices" enforce it as something to be practiced on their terms.

When the Somalis came to settle in Minneapolis, they called Autism the "Minnesota Disease".

Now, that could be because it was suddenly diagnosed, but the impression I got is that it was unknown in the homeland.

I also read once that autism tracked cable as it installed into neighborhoods.

All of this is of course unsourced. But I think some of autism spike has a real component and my suspicion is that it has something to do with sun exposure, to link to the other non-coding post of the day: vitamin D, skin cancer, and sun exposure.

I have read about ideas to make forward-compatible vector instructions, but personally I don't see much value in such features.

If there appears a new CPU with different vector size then you can just recompile the program and let compiler use new instructions. Therefore it doesn't make sense to sacrifice chip area or performance for this feature.

Regarding backward compatibility (running old software on a next generation CPU), I think that newer CPUs do not need to support obsolete instructions from previous generations. Instead they could just include a decoder that would (using microcode and therefore slowly) emulate old instructions. This allows user run their package manager or recompile their software and switch to new instructions. It is totally fine to completely redesign the ISA provided that there is a minimal converter for old instructions or at least support for software-based translator like qemu.
yeah, I was trying to be polite... but of course I don't believe what I said
Data schemas and APIs need to address extensibility. For the latter this does not mean that it requires a "cathedral" but simply effective abstraction. For the former higher normal forms are helpful.

Code can be viewed as disposable as long as the above two concerns are addressed.

I'd love to see this visual emulator make the Linux kernel visual, like running User Mode Linux.
Observational data is so profoundly affected by the decisions and assumptions of those who chose to select them and analyze them in a specific way that I cannot agree with this premise that the implications should be “trusted”. Those implications are a function of the choices made by the people making those decisions. The data have no opportunity to tell an independent story.

There are tools that can make this better (eg, finding an instrumental variable), but this wasn’t done here.

Ironically, this post recycles a bunch of tired old yarns about BEVs. I'm sure early ICEs were a disaster too, yet here we are.

It's not a fig leaf if it's 95% recyclable for profit?

> Tires produce far more pollution than 'tailpipes' (BEVs just move the pollution somewhere else of course, they are wonderful for affluent cities).

ICEs have tires too? And BEVs -- even those powered by coal, will clean up as the grid cleans up. ICEs will never clean up.

> as the current generation of BEVs age we can expect to see more trapped energy thermal runaway events from faulty batteries

It's been a decade. We see very little of this.

The complaints you list are non-issues or already solved. Hybrid cars also have batteries and many also plug in and so would be subject to exactly the same complaints you list.

In my opinion "the best" would be to support only one, fixed, largest vector size and emulate legacy instructions for smaller sizes using microcode (this is slow, but requires minimum transistor count). There is no need to optimize for legacy software; instead it should be recompiled and compiler should generate versions of code for all existing generations of CPUs.

This way the CPU design can be simplified and all the complexity moved into compilers.
Godbolt is really one of the most useful web tools I've ever used, a massive thank you for the service.
Try to produce useful interfaces and data structures, even internally. When data is stored make it easy to verify that it's in a recognized, expected, format; possibly with a version scheme that can be extended later.

Historically successful protocols often have a basic feature level and later extend it with features that are not required (at the time) but improve functionality. All the more so when users with accounts need more features than federated (not authenticated) users from other platforms.

Seems like you can choose during manufacturing to make things easier to disassemble to enable easier recycling... So the answer to low-melting metals inside high-melting metals is just "Don't do that" because otherwise you'll miss the 95% recyclable policy.

When you are cheap labor you will have big problems getting ahead because of rent. So as soon as you save enough to buy land you do (between inflation and government revolutions banks are not useful, you have better odds your land will be recognized). Until you can afford to get a minimal shelter room on the land though you are renting while owning useless land. Once you have shelter everything that went to rent before can be put into more rooms.
