Just one remark. Russia threatening the world with nuclear weapons and famine is another very strong reason in favor of Ukrainian win. It is in fact one of the main reasons. Nuclear weapons and famine should be not become de facto tools of war like Russia is currently using them.

I'm not sure if you and Chomsky, as I understand, are willing to give in to such threats out of cowardice or stupidity.

Another main reason is that genocide is not acceptable. Russia is already committing genocide in Ukraine but it is clear that when it wins, the extent of the genocide will be multiple orders of magnitude larger.
Same trouble with certain GPS dashcams. The coordinates and date/time are burned into the video, and the font is pure white.

So you can extract the info with OCR... unless you point your car into the sun and the glare of the hood blows out the bottom of the image where the text is.
Looks like a fun project. One thing i'd be interested in, is if it's slower than using javac, given that the JIT can optimize common idioms that the compiler spits out. For instance, for some JITs, in the past anyway, This code

int myNumber = getANumber();
String s = "" + myNumber;

was faster to run than

int myNumber = getANumber();
String s= String.valueOf(myNumber);

even though the bytecode for the second bit of code is a proper subset of the first. (Meaning the first section had all the byte code of the second, plus some extra stuff.)

And yet the first ran faster than the second. So unless you've got some spectacularly tricky algorithm that you can naturally express in java, and can in jasm, i'm betting the javac output will be as fast or faster.

Again tho, i'm not criticizing the author for doing this project at all. Kudos!

Ah this is the tidbit I needed. Thank you.
Part of what makes stuff like this surprising is expectations of privacy. Like for example. If you start a video chat on Hangouts or Zoom, even or maybe especially on a work account, you don’t expect that meeting to be recorded or analyzed surreptitiously. I think in many places, it would be illegal.

Because of this, one might feel like the same standard applies to other one-on-one and small group communication avenues, but it’s actually completely the opposite.
It's almost always about risk management.

An old trick I've learned with designing for brands is to always present at least two different ideas when it comes time to showing ideas/design work to suits - one concept that's more "safe" and one that's more visually creative. 90%~ of the time, the safe concept is chosen; even if that immediate suit likes the creative one, it gets all the edges stripped away from management above should it move forward in execution.

There's advantages to working in corporate design but don't expect the truly unique ideas to survive for long - it's why there's a love affair with outsourcing to agencies.
That would be a Mebimeter, according to SI. Whether or not this sounds silly is another issue.
The auto manufacturers put out repair guides that list how many hours of a mechanics time a repair should take.

https://www.liveabout.com/the-truth-about-flat-rate-car-repa...

Many mechanics aren’t really directly employees of the shop, and often get paid based on work they get (some even have to “rent” the stall). It can be an interesting industry.

Hey guys, there's no scientific definition for a fish either. Evolutionarily speaking, from the perspective of monophyletic taxonomy, if fish were a thing, we'd also be classified as fish. We're not though we're vertebrates. Bees are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates, as are all insects generally, as adults adapted to land rather than being amphibious, even if they have an amphibious larval stage, which bees don't. There is a tendency to consider anything less evolved than an amniote as a fish in general practice. That would include insects.
Ah, another happy Zscaler customer!
Go is the prime example.

For example, in your typical web application a Goroutine is spawned for every incoming connection. This basically gives you a dedicated runtime for each simultaneous connection. In Node or Python, this would be the equivalent of starting a whole new process for every request. But in Go, there's very little cost to doing it this way.

The advantage is that each connection basically never blocks waiting for another user.

In Node and Python, we talk about handling tens to hundreds of requests per second per server.

In Go, we talk about handling thousands to tens of thousands per second. It's just orders of magnitude more throughput.
Does the law apply to a business unit? I’d expect it to require a new company.
Not sure how that slipped. Sorry.
If we are comparing energy consumption of monetary systems I think we also need to look at the incumbent system’s costs with open eyes. The US dollar is the global reserve currency. It is no longer backed by gold. Instead it is backed by energy and military might in the form of the largest military industrial complex in the history of the world, responsible for more death and destruction of humanity and the environment than any other single entity over the last 70 years.

Unlike Bitcoin which currently consumes a greater proportion of green/renewable energy than virtually any other industry, the US military operates almost exclusively on carbon-emitting fossil fuels and has left a trail of dead and wounded, mostly innocent civilians with brown skin, whose only crimes were being born with our oil under their feet.

The US military is by far the single largest fossil fuel consumer in the world. Isn’t it curious that so little attention is focused on reducing the military’s dependence on fossil fuels? Where are the ESG proponents on the topic of the single largest contributor to global greenhouse gases?

Will you stay silent on the subject now that you are aware of the fully-loaded costs of supporting the USD as the world’s reserve currency?

By contrast, Bitcoin uses less energy than the world’s hair dryers to secure a considerable amount of value without the need for violence. If we consider the full extent of externalities required to secure the current monetary system, Satoshi’s invention of Nakamoto consensus starts to look like an alternative worth considering for at least some of the world’s wealth.

No canines we’re harmed in using the turn of phrase in my above comment.
The point where caste defines purity. Classism is a separate axis from the notion of religious purity that is a fundamental part of caste (which is effectively an amalgamation of the two). As such, the closest "reference point" for a U.S. citizen is the attitudes held by antebellum slaveowners regarding race. You can't comprehend the sort of...emotions that inspire the strict anti-miscegenation of racism or caste-ism, from a lens of "knighthood in the olden times".

Nevermind that one can be "knighted" - the idea that one could be "brahminated" is no different from thinking one could be "whited" in the antebellum south. (And no, the "honorary whiteness" given to certain asian ethnicities is not akin to "whiting" - it's merely defining a subdivision of a caste to be slightly higher than the other lower castes)
I was making a comment about the trend in general. Some native speakers also agree with your definition.

In some instances it may be, although the word 'awe' has no sense of hatred in it.

Function coloring as a feature?
For me the notable difference is that the Rust compile errors are almost always about the problem I actually have.

They can be quite verbose, but that's largely from showing me what the problem is exactly. e.g. Rustc will show you where you borrowed X and then where you tried to modify it after forgetting it was borrowed, not just go "You can't do that, it's already borrowed" and expect you to figure out where and how or fly into a rage because you're sure you didn't borrow it.

The error[E0308] mismatched type message with a type whose name repeats itself several times is a bad sign, yeah, you probably should not make a type like that. But most of the rest look like helpful Rust errors to me.
I think the difference he’s suggesting is that there is more than one battle taking place here. You don’t have to charge the machine gun hill you can go hang out on the hill with a bunch of folks larping with swords and having a good time doing so.

If there really are no sword hills to charge and it’s all machine guns - then I don’t mind going down that way. I can’t imagine that environment is anything but depressing anyways.
Looks like Scala with Rust syntax sprinkled on top.

I had another comment but deleted it.

Effectively, the idea was "Don't be a dick." That is a reason right there where a person can intervene if they are in a position to do so. However, the issue as you raise it is that this is not a law.

There are laws about sex, racism etc that can help people in low power situations exercise some power. But we don't have that equivalent knowledge/ability regarding caste.

I think the idea is that performance and correctness are easier to achieve with rust. Once you get over the initial mountain of learning. The mountain is a different height for each person.
I wonder how open to manipulation this is...
> If you have a polymorphic async function, then return your result in a Box.

Agreed. Copy, Clone, Box, Arc, RwLock, etc. are your friends. Don't be afraid to use them.

You don't need as much performance as you think you do. Passing things around on the heap is fine for most applications. The Rust compiler is often smarter than you think.

And, when the Rust compiler is dumb or your code is getting stuck, you have code that you can understand and find the hotspot of. Now you can be clever.

Open Source Firmware Attack Surface Reduction
My understanding is that Babel already removed support for similar decorators to the ones Angular uses because that first attempt at TC39 decorators proposal was entirely revised and replaced with a very different decorators proposal. The "Decorators 2: Electric Boogaloo" proposal has actually made it to Stage 3 in TC39's proposal process this time which means that Typescript is going to be under pressure to add "real" decorators and remove the "fake" decorators that Angular currently relies on. I don't know how hard it would be for Typescript to support both medium/long-term but the transpilation backends for the two proposals are rather different to my understanding. (The new proposal is simpler, at least.)

Angular can certainly migrate to "real" decorators any day now, but my criticism stands that they could have already switched to the desugared form of the new proposal already (which resembles the desugared form of Python annotations) and have been better prepared for a migration. I've got a feeling part of the reason they haven't prepared for such a migration already is that maybe the DI is using too much Typescript-specific support in the "fake" decorators that maybe isn't likely to get carried forward into the "real" decorators.
It compiles code to an "idealized" instruction set. That instruction set is then mapped to a real instruction set by the jvm at runtime, first in some cases through interpretation, but mostly by recompiling it (potentially better and better as more statistics come in) by the jvm.

A big advantage to this approach has (over the instruction set independence), is the JVM knows exactly what the characteristics of the environment are, cache size, memory size, processor extensions, etc, etc, and can decide at runtime how to compile best. This is in contrast to like a C compiler that will give users compile switches to pick a target environment (which is only sometimes correct).
That's not correct framing. This isn't muskets and cutlasses against drones and cruise missiles. The better analogy is that almost every country abides by the Geneva conventions and adhere to treaties like CTBT. Why do we do that? The US could win almost any conflict within several minutes with strategic nuclear strikes that kill nearly every noncombatant man, woman, and child in the opposing country. This option is obvious, but not acted upon. So why not do that, there has to be a reason that it's an inferior strategy?

Further, you have dehumanize the attacker. They have agency and don't have to attack in the first place. Even then, your analogy fails because you can disengage from the "attacking force" (quit or not accept an offer) without surrendering in the theater of operations of the professional world.

Ha, it's funny I'm seeing this now! I'm doing a cross-country trip from Charlotte, NC to San Francisco (technically Emeryville) by train later this month (June 18th-21st). It was something of a spontaneous decision. I have an on-site with my team in SF later during the week of my arrival, so I felt this was a good excuse to experience something different! I'll be in a sleeper car for a short leg of the trip (DC to Chicago, iirc), then coach the rest of the way. Hopefully I survive, lol.

This reeks of bitterness. "Simpler times" of 1998 when a whole generation of boomers benefited from Alpha squeezed through multiple wars, fossil fuel addiction, polluting the planet, severely destabilizing the real estate markets, unethical banks.

The bicycle industry is rapidly moving to factory stores. The big brands are buying out their more-successful dealers and turning them into branded stores, locking out any other brands that the dealer sold in the process. For example, Specialized will buy a store from a retiring dealer, get rid of the Cannondale inventory, and re-brand it as "Specialized Bikes". This strengthens their brand and creates consistency, while simultaneously shutting out their manufacturer competition from the market.

The smaller dealers in little towns are completely screwed. They'll probably perish and be replaced by the manufacturer's online presence. Perhaps local "mobile bike repair" outfits will pop up to do local assembly and support.

$3k in maintenance costs for 400,000km? I call bull shit. In Tesla tire sizes, you're looking at $1000 for a cheap ass set of tires. Certainly not gonna last 100,000 miles either.
Hell, I have had conversations with my immigrant mother-in-law where she complains later immigrants hang out only with each other, only speak their own language and should be deported.

>>Target could have gone away, but they didn't. They bolted on an e-commerce platform and then they used their physical store to add groceries and return -- make returns really much easier than Amazon.

I know this is off-topic, but the easiest return I ever made was an amazon return. I went through the return process on amazon's website and was given a QR code which took a few mins. I drove to the nearest Kohls, walked to the amazon kiosk, showed the QR code to the employee, and handed over the return. Took all of 30 seconds in store.

Anyway, back on topic. A hybrid model makes sense for Ford to compete, and it is a lot like Best Buy/Target in many respects. However dealers have made a living for a long time being the middle-men, I wonder how they will deal with additional competition.
Best buy has a problem where people look at the product at the store then end up buying online, I could see people taking test drives and then ordering from the Ford website. Although I think the dealer will arrange commission if that happens.
In the indie video game world, you can work on your game for a few years, then once its done, tested and polished, a publisher will want 30% for doing a few months of organizing the release. They value their time at perhaps 1000 times more valuable that your own. Its outrageous.

The "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" phrase was used by John Steinbeck to describe not the poor, but what we might call today "champagne socialists":

"Except for the field organizers of strikes, who were pretty tough monkeys and devoted, most of the so-called Communists I met were middle-class, middle-aged people playing a game of dreams. I remember a woman in easy circumstances saying to another even more affluent: 'After the revolution even we will have more, won't we, dear?' Then there was another lover of proletarians who used to raise hell with Sunday picknickers on her property.
I guess the trouble was that we didn't have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew — at least they claimed to be Communists — couldn't have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves." (source: https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_Steinbeck)

Listen, man. I am a hiring manager. People have reneged on accepted offers. It doesn't affect me personally at all. It's a bit annoying, but the real damage to real human beings is close to zero. OTOH, a company rescinding an offer to someone who accepted and probably quit their other job can be devastating. It happened to fried of mine very recently and their life is very stressful right now. You are definitely arguing on the wrong side of this.
“nerds now that they are actually not socially despised any more.”

- go to any working class area in San Francisco and tell them you work in big tech . See if you are not socially despised . Go tell anyone working blue collar jobs that you work in big tech in the Bay Area or Seattle and see if their reaction is not one of despisal.

That did not exist before unless I was living in a bubble.

> the younger generation's fear of conflict (a negotiation is an adversarial conflict)

The younger generation doesn't necessarily fear conflict. Just look at how it's winning the conflict about conflict against the older generation.

They (we) want to reduce these kinds of negotiation because they give an economic advantage for entirely arbitrary reasons: someone getting a car cheaper because they negotiated harder or getting a better job offer because their trust fund allows them to walk away with ease does in no way benefit society. Whatever they save, someone else has to pay extra to make the system work for the dealerships.

Worse, the ability to negotiate is not some random variable. It's tied to aggressiveness and a sense of entitlement. It's a lifelong rebate for bullies that practiced that sort of thing by stealing younger kids' lunch money. And the only reason it has survived as long as it has is because that happens to be the demographic car salesmen also hail from.

Worst, it isn't even just about someone's ability to assert themselves: a salesman may well react entirely different to the same exact words and behavior based on criteria that would invoke laws against discrimination in other cases. I remember a number of stories of black homeowners being quoted 30 % when having their homes' resale value assessed. Don't remember seeing any tests for car sales, but I'd be surprised if it didn't replicate there: be a white broad-shouldered tall good-looking man and your lowballing makes you a strong opponent. Lack any of those criteria and it's considered an insult to the profession and you get the cold shoulder.
