The question is, when such market transaction costs come into play. I don't think that they are so high to justify not taking different salaries into account world-wide. Besides, determining the median salary might also be not very accurate without research. But at least for my country, differences between the salary for software engineering per region are quite transparent. They would not exist in the first place, if they were really so hard to determine, at least roughly.

From what I'm seeing with my own GL code (fairly basic GL 3.2 stuff), the actual GL implementation is quite ok, but utility classes like NSOpenGLView have been a bit hit and miss in recent years.

I would expect though that their new GL-on-Metal thing is a bug-for-bug compatibility layer for existing applications, otherwise it wouldn't make much sense because new apps shouldn't use GL anyway.
If a random person has all their friends using any of my web apps, that’s huge. In most cases anecdotes are not worth much. Not in all cases. Not all anecdotes are specifically about billion plus people. Anecdotes were never needed for this convo any way. We have Meta’s data on the usage of their apps and their revenue.
> which is the same as square waves ... There is stuff far outside human hearing coming from the speaker because of these square waves.

Maybe back in the 1980s on some of the early consumer digital equipment; but those problems were solved in the early 1990s by oversampling in the DAC, and then using some basic analog filtering far above the human hearing range.

IE, a consumer DAC will oversample a 44.1khz signal to (example) 705.6khz in the digital domain; and then use a very gentle analog lowpass filter to deal with the ultrasonic distortion. At that point the difference between the original analog signal and the one coming from the DAC is approximately as accurate as if there was no DAC in the first place. (Granted, some people can hear up to 27khz, which is why some people like 96khz sampling rates.)
In my experience this is untrue... I've worked with C++ on and off (albeit, sometimes reluctantly, so maybe I'm projecting some misery) and a lot of errors in C++ can not be caught until it starts pasting the templates. Sometimes it also fails when linking. Sure, you can always go through the whole build/compile process, but for serious C++ projects that's impractical (even with stuff like (s)ccache) because of how long it takes. And I'm a code quality tooling/intellisense freak to the point it can be annoying for others, and I've never seen a truckload of tooling come even close to simply running "cargo check"

I've only experienced waiting ~10 minutes at most (on decent dev machine) and it frustrated me to no end, but even more serious projects sometimes take hours. Maybe concepts help with this?

And the "jUsT dOnT uSe HaLf tHe LaNgUaGe" argument holds as much as a leaky bucket, because it's hard to agree on what the good parts are in a large team, unless its strictly enforced and audited somehow

The reason to have a map on screen when descending is to anticipate upcoming bends. This helps you to take the best line through the apex of the corners. Also mountain descents will regularly throw you very tight, and sometimes blind corners at random, and the best practice to handle these without going off the road is to brake hard enough to scrub off some speed before you begin your turn, then let go so you're not braking while turning. Navigation prompts will not show this because they are not turns.
I recently got really fed up with Windows calculator and bought a scientific calculator. I do a lot of conversions to/from hex during tasks where I have a lot of windows onscreen, so the thought of having effectively an extra screen, a dedicated keyboard that didn't require me to change window focus, and better ergonomics was very appealing.

Honestly I'm not using it all that much, despite trying to train myself to use it every time I need to calculate something. The well-rehearsed muscle memory of 'win+R, calc, enter' is kinda hard to beat. And the ergonomics aren't as good as I'd hoped - converting to/from hex and entering hex numbers involves more use of shift and alpha-shift keys than I had expected.
The funny thing about this is, using rust for production is way safer than an old language like C or even C++. So the YOLO part isn't crazy here. If you don't use unsafe you cannot, read can not, get data races, among a host of other common bugs.

Now if we were talking about some other "new languages" not naming names, you can memory leak kilobytes writing hello world... Yikes.
my car tells me to take it for service minimum once a year, for maintenance that's going to cost $500-$800 depending on the alternating schedule. 2-3 hours in the bay max. It's mostly visual, filters and fluids... material costs are small.

If there are problems, it'll be $170/hour plus parts...

A lot of people just do what the computer says and take it to the dealer. The workshop is always full... it has about 20 bays.

> Rust really is a great programming language that solves a lot of other problems other languages don't. It does so by introducing a pretty clever paradigm.

Were you around when Scala was the end all be all of programming shiny things?

"Early on, Scala rode a wave of hype that frankly surprised even me: hype around pushing syntactic boundaries, hype around reactive architectures, hype around functional programming, hype around the Apache Spark project. Much of that hype has since died down, and there was a period of backlash and negativity both within the Scala community and outside of it. Since then, even the backlash has faded, and what is left is a reasonable, boring language steadily advancing and providing a great platform for general software engineering."

source: https://www.lihaoyi.com/post/TheDeathofHypeWhatsNextforScala...

Not every concern needs to be solved at source level. My brief crit of both Scala and Rust is that they do not take a modular approach and instead have opted for a 'comprehensive' approach that necessarily entails (arguably) unreasonable levels of complexity at syntactic and semantic layers of source code.
I've had a couple of Di2 batteries fail. One of them went suddenly and I had to grab a train to get home. The other one lost capacity quite quickly, so I'd have to charge it once a week until it got so bad I needed to charge it fully each day until I swapped in a new one.

Unemployment in city centers and businesses reliant upon the city commuter and office crowd are not doing well. The unemployment rate of Manhattan is still pretty high for instance. A lot of remote workers have priced out local service workers in some small towns, so some restaurants and businesses are now more or less permanently closed due to short staffing. They can't afford to live where they work so they moved. You could blame AirBnB as well for this development where short term rentals outnumber actual rentals available. Under those conditions I'd expect a detriment to the local economy.
https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/a/73

Also of note is that in the U.S. most End-User License Agreements (EULAs) specifically prohibit reverse-engineering. Courts have found such contractual prohibitions to override the copyright law which expressly permits it (Bowers v. Baystate Technologies, 320 F.3d 1317 (Fed. Cir. 2003)).

In other words, for your purposes, it sounds like it would be illegal to integrate features from a reverse-engineered program into another program for commercial or non-commercial use. If you were trying to enable interoperability (again, see Section 103(f), noted above), that would be different.

The point is not the being responsible part, the point is that if they do not prohibit it the law permits it under certain circumstances.

By explicitly denying it companies can claim plausible deniability.

(not an expert, just my understanding)
Right. Raise your hand if you were surprised to see this happen.

So yesterday when it was Coinbase [0] announcing cuts the reaction was, 'ha ha crypto bad', 'worst of luck to them' and now when it also affects companies like Tesla, now the reaction is 'Shocking', 'everyone is doing it now', 'I wouldn't read much into it. A 10% cut is completely normal and healthy for a company the size of Tesla.'

This to me sounds like some form of cope that many thought the market was always going up forever.

The recent market rally of 2020 had to come to an end.

Tbh I wouldn't mind "working" out of a tent for a few weeks if the "office" was located in a natural area and the whole affair was more of a company-sponsored camping "workation" where half the day was spent doing outdoor activities.
Electronic shifting is actually pretty great. I get that it's not something everyone wants, but you owe it to yourself to give it a test ride before you dismiss it entirely.

It's fast, it's always precise (never drifts; no cables to stretch), insanely stable, requires virtually no effort to shift, and (at least for me) has provided a more reliable platform than cable-pull Ultegra was. The mech system was prone to alignment issues, cable issues, etc. With eTap, I just charge it every few weeks and I'm done.

Also, re: consumer abuse, read the linked article. Shimano are only able to do this because their connectivity is proprietary, apparently. More modern systems rely on open standards, apparently.

> Rust ... "Isn't Really Safe" because you can get into a point where memory is corrupted

i dare you to find memory corruption in safe rust that isn't already on an issue tracker.

> Saying that a language is either safe or unsafe implies that the "safe" language is actually safe while the "unsafe" language is completely deadly.

tell that to the people who got owned by https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-deep-dive-i... , most likely human rights activists targeted by less-than-savory regimes. memory corruption bugs are so frequent that it is possible for nso group to sell to pretty much any regime, and not forced to be classified as top secret information.
The world wouldn’t have been negatively affected much if Android wasn’t around. Why would the world be helped with Google controlling the majority of smart phones with a superior OS vs an inferior OS controlled by an independent Palm? The world would be much better.
So that should make it easier, right? Generally having lower population density helps these things (for example because more precipitation falls on larger areas, with the clouds not caring how many people actually live in those areas).
I see your point, but it all depends on whether the choice of a particular organizational infrastructure architecture is a priority for you or not.

If infrastructure is a priority, (e.g., "we don't really want to hire anyone just to setup/monitor/secure that Linux box with all those REST API server/database processes, thus we prefer serverless), serverless is important and Rust performance is its strength.

If infrastructure is not a priority, (e.g., "I was gonna roll out my own VPS anyway, I love this stuff"), serverless is all about its faults and Rust is irrelevant (it is logical to choose an easier PL, e.g., the excellent Golang).
why would you build an earthquake-safe building using only 20-40 data points (sorry, I skimmed the video and I dont think it answered that question). That sounds irresponsible since you could collect far more data points, and unless you could demonstrate that collecting tiny amounts of data was "safe", you're always going to collect high quality data and lots of it.

The advantage of physical systems is that it's straightforward to collect data from natural systems.

It would seem to me any time a 10% layoff is announced you can expect another 10% to leave over the next year. Smart people will see the writing on the wall and they always have a couple recruiters in their back pocket. Employers would want to layoff the bottom 10% obviously but they're going to shed serious talent too as they get the full court press from recruiters.
> surprised by the concept of at-will employment

I seriously doubt the OP was surprised by the concept of at-will employment. What the OP said was "Anyone that works 50 hr weeks for this dude is out of their mind." In other words, they are doing it voluntarily, but it's still a bad idea for them, maybe even delusional.

If you've ever had a bad exit from an employer, you start to rethink the sacrifices you made for the employer while you were there.
> Jurors are idiots. None of em are legal experts

! expert != idiot

expert != ! idiot

The rigamarole of a jury keeps the day to day system of justice in touch with a relatively representative sample of local humanity. Without that I could see it turning bad fast.

I was on a jury that did something close to nullification. Afterwards the prosecutor dropped by and chatted with us. It was helpful feedback for them about community standards (at least from the random sample we represented). In that situation we appreciated the role of vice cops in deterring lewd public behavior but considered a remote spot in the woods to not be public for that purpose no matter how much the prosecutor emphasized the location as a public park.

Were we the idiots? Maybe so, maybe not.

Absolutely true. But for the majority of artists there is not much money for each there, in my experience.
I converted an old rotary phone into a mobile phone (https://www.stavros.io/posts/irotary-saga/), and the quality is much better than a mobile. Even just the sidetone makes it SO much better to talk on.

I have no idea why modern mobile phones have no (or very low volume?) sidetone. It makes the UX orders of magnitude better.
I keep seeing people trying to use different linkers than ld with gcc but I was under the impression that it doesn't work as well as they think it does. GCC is built with a bunch of options that assume ld and it's very unlikely that these other linkers support all of that. So I'm not sure what benefits you're actually getting.
I completely disagree. I think these are taking it a step further than your examples. Dalle2 is not just using the existing Kermit and pasting it in different environments, it's modifying Kermit to fit in that world.

For example, your Star Wars example...

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6MebZx-4950/maxresdefault.jpg

It's clearly just an existing photo of Kermit pasted over an image from the film. There are even two sets of arms. I could Photoshop that in a few minutes.

Then, the Dalle2 image...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FUEDDm2UEAAO8yb?format=jpg&name=...

I think it's impressive. It looks like Kermit is a character in the Star Wars universe. There are a few issues with the eyes and feet, and it's also hard to tell if it's a creature or a person in a frog suit. However, it gets 90% of the way there, and the pose is great for a frog/human hybrid.

The most exciting thing is how this could be used as a starting point for design. I could take the Dalle2 Kermit image above, fix the eyes/feet, add a few distinctive Kermit features, and have a great piece of concept art in an hour, rather than taking a day or two to create something from scratch. Obviously it can't be applied to all workflows, but for those it's suited for, it'll save vast amounts of time and costs. For that reason, it's already something of real value in its current state. The same can't be said about the Star Wars examples you provided.
This handler dispatcher problem gets trivial if you do it in unsafe mode. Just transmute all lifetimes to 'static and call it a day. That is what you do in C++ all the time (implicitly). So C++ version of it would be easier to get compiling, but harder to get right - because you'd have to prove lifetimes are correct anyways.

Near Partnership, BitTorrent Chain and Ton APIs, AMA with Dash: 2022 in GetBlock
Despite the dramatic collapse cryptocurrency markets witnessed in Q2, 2022, GetBlock’s development and marketing processes go like clockwork. Here’s the shortest recap of what we achieved in the first months of 2022.
GetBlock and NEAR entered into a long-term partnership

In May, 2022, GetBlock partnered one of the most technically advanced blockchains, NEAR Protocol (NEAR). GetBlock is among the leading providers of NEAR Protocol’s APIs: our clients are using both shared and dedicated nodes of NEAR.

With new partnership inked, GetBlock received an ecosystem grant by NEAR Foundation. This grant is set to fuel the development of the first feature-rich explorer for the NEAR ecosystem. As a leading nodes provider, GetBlock has unmatched expertise in building customized blockchain explorers from scratch.

Also, in May, GetBlock scored partnerships with DropsTab crypto prices dashboard and CardStack, first-ever OS for Web3 purposes.
BitTorrent Chain, TON nodes added: Why is it crucial?

Then, GetBlock added new offers to its nodes stack. We activated shared and dedicated nodes of BitTorrent Chain, an eccentric project based on the legendary BitTorrent peer-to-peer data exchange protocol. Currently, it is controlled by Justin Sun’s Tron Foundation.

Also, we integrated shared and dedicated nodes of The Open Network (previously Telegram Open Network). Initially designed as a Telegram’s payments system, The Open Network or TON gains steam as a high-performance Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain.

Decentralized applications’ ecosystems of both blockchains are still in nascent stages. As such, GetBlock’s clients of BTTC and TON nodes can unlock ‘first mover advantage’ for their products.

AMA with Dash (DASH) team and new videos

In terms of community building, the GetBlock team was laser-focused on educational content. Maria Key, our Business Development manager sat down with Marina Siradegyan, Marketing Manager at Dash to discuss the features of Dash APIs for crypto businesses.

Also, we released new videos to cover the operations of our Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Dogecoin (DOGE) and Polkadot (DOT) shared nodes.
But not because the CEO fired off an email based on his gut feeling about the economy. That’s wacky.
It's probably bad for cities in general, whether inner city coffee bars or office (and probably residential) real estate. And that may (or may not) be bad for people who want to live in cities.

My observation though based just on traffic patterns is that debates about remote work are something of a bubble at this point. When I've had to go into the relatively nearby city a couple times lately rush hour traffic seemed as bad as ever although train/subway seemed relatively light.
