I also learned to code in my 20s but it was by and for solving _real_ problems I _actually_ had and that's also how I sharpened my skills over the years.

I simply can't imagine wasting any amount of time solving "fizzbuzz" or whatever. Never did, never will.

A more pressing mystery is: how did Van Helsing hightail from London to Amsterdam and back every three days by land, when just a little while earlier in the nineteenth century literary personas dreaded the prospect of traveling fifteen miles by coach, and arrived all battered and exhausted.
Pretty good arguments in there:

- TCO only addresses recursion that can easily be replaced by a loop

- loosing stack frames makes debugging harder

- its not just an optimization, as soon as code depends on it to not blow the stack its a required feature for all implementations

- functional languages with no side effects need recursion, everyone else really doesn't

Personally, I think TCO is bad in a similar way as async functions. It is an exception from the general mental model of how function calls work, makes tooling much more complex and the alternative is just writing a loop, which I know is beneath the average Lambda The Ultimate subscriber, but its just how some people earn their money.
Dating doesn't mean going to a restaurant. I'm pretty sure for most of three peole Netflix at home is dating.
> Nationalize them.

You mean, have the US Government become the largest holders of bank equity (preferred stock) in America forcibly, thereby allowing the US Government to choose the board-of-governers of each banking company to the point where the US Government could call the shots and select the CEO (and other officers) of the companies?

Which is literally what happened? We then used that leverage to forcibly enter those banks into "deals" and force those asset-purchases down their throats?

> Get rid of the people who had actually caused the crisis

That assumes that the US Government could have found better people to run those banks than the people already in charge.

The ugly truth of the politics is, the best people to run the banks were those very same bankers (except this time, with the US Government breathing down their necks).

US Government was the largest preferred stock shareholder after TARP was enacted of all of the major banks in the nation. US Government forced the banks to follow the new regulations and also encouraged the banks to "buy back their equity" (allowing them to become fully private again) in short order.

US Government was the largest shareholder and therefore the legal owner of a lot of these banks (and GM/Chrysler, who also got caught up in this).

The only deeply cynical part of this is the idea that it's some kind of nefarious plot to steal those wages back. It's not, it's a simple and direct consequence of the fact that in order for people to buy things with their wages those things must first be produced. Right now the world has hit current production limits on critical inputs like energy, raw materials, and semiconductor devices, as well as having labour shortages in many countries. There simply isn't enough stuff for people to be able to buy as much with their income as they used to, and so income is falling behind inflation. Pushing up wages doesn't fix that, it just means that inflation has to be even higher in order for demand to match up with what can actually be supplied. It's not possible to make workers as a whole better off in real terms this way, except maybe by making retirees so poor they're forced back in to work to survive as well.
Of course it’s politically correct to say certain races have certain physical characteristics.

Same here (European, btw, not Japanese). I've only ever been on one "date" in my lifetime. The rest of my mating life has always been in the context of friend groups, rather than 1:1 meetings in some public place.

Things that I have done that I don't consider a date:

- meeting up at a friends' house while both knowing the other would be there, then leaving together afterwards (not 1:1)

- just meeting up after class/work and spending the evening together (not an event)

- accompanying each other to some mutual friend's event (concert/dj gig, party, theatre show) (not 1:1)

- going to the movies with a friend because her boyfriend wasn't into horror, but I was (1:1, and an event, but no romantic intent)

- inviting each other over for game/movie nights with friends (not 1:1)

- making plans together (e.g. for music festivals, concerts, sports events) and inviting friends along for added fun (not 1:1)

- going out for dinner together while we're already going steady (strictly speaking it's a date, but not in the context of "dating")
There is an existential angst amongst particle physicists because they all understand that they are the thoroughbred pets of the scientific world. Even if they find something, it doesn't matter, because they are working in energy regimes that are not reachable in the ordinary physics of the universe as it exists today. Even the discovery that the Higgs Boson as a lighter mass than predicted, while intellectually intriguing doesn't matter outside the very small circle of high energy and theoretical physicists. In many ways, their field is already dead - they just haven't acknowledged it yet.

Very roughly, UK prices are ~£0.2/kwh electrity and ~£2/litre of petrol. Per mile I make that £0.2 for petrol vs £0.045 for electric. Although you could probably get to the 1/10th figure if you always charged on the super-off-peak EV tarrifs.

I would opt for balance, there is a reason why some languages compile in debug and release mode, because of the tradeoffs.

Having code that is optimal in performance often implies a tradeoff in debuggability. If debugging helpfulness is the major design decision of a programming language, that designer is trading off performance.
Veganism explicitly makes room for people who are in situations where eating animal products is required to survive. I even explicitly mentioned that several times in what I wrote: when it’s not necessary, it’s wrong.

There is no moral obligation in a situation with a lack of choice. However, the VAST majority of people are not in situations where animal products must be eaten to survive.

But are you in that situation now? Do you need to eat animals to survive? If not, why do you do it?
I would recommend "The Dawn of Everything", by David Graeber (cultural anthropologist) and David Wengrow (archaeologist). It's written for a popular audience, but mainly complicates the type of narrative that pop history books tend to push.

You're right according to the article. Despite this:

> agricultural burning remains a major contributor to pollution, despite a law banning it in 2003.

There's this:

> It costs about $500 an acre to burn crops, but more than $1,000 an acre to chip and shred them.

> In August 2021, the San Joaquin Valley air district accepted $178 million in new state funding to incentivize alternative methods of managing ag waste, including grants to repurpose dead or abandoned crops into mulch.

I bet a lot of that $178MM went into matches and gasoline.
There really shouldn't be an issue getting work approved and visible to the whole team (if anything for team input, collaboration, opportunities for others to object).

If you're working for the benefit of the product/team I don't see why you would need to, or have an issue with this.

Strange.
Agreed. A date = two people spending some time getting to know each other to see if there is romantic (or sexual) compatibility. Don't need to read to far into it.
The sexuality shame thing is overblown. The Japanese don't really have shame towards sex, but public flirting and PDA is generally taboo. At that point you're compartmentalizing places where one can find a date and where one can't find a date, which drastically lowers the odds you'll meet someone.

On top, shyness and saving face run rampant. The former makes it so men don't approach all that often, the latter makes it so they often miss when a woman does the approach but does it in a way she can still save face, often leading to misreading intents.

To put it in perspective, Japanese women tend to approach men more often than in the US, if I have to believe anecdotes. You wouldn't expect that from a culture "shaming" sexuality all-around versus a culture which openly applauds sexuality at every corner.

Best reply I’ve read in a while! Learned something new thanks
So, these people — who supposedly own a home there — voted to keep any current homeowners (owning homes anywhere in the country) out of buying homes in their district, cutting a huge chunk of the home buyers from buying a home there. By drastically limiting the demand, they just sent their home prices down, making themselves potentially poorer (or much poorer) as a result. In a nutshell, they've just voted to rob themselves of money.

Are there some ideals at work here, or is it a case of people not fully grasping the future consequences of their current actions?
For something to be a basic human right, it has to be available without enslaving other people. Free speech - yep, I can speak without forcing anyone else to do anything. Freedom from unreasonable search - yep, I am asking the government to not do something that infringes on my rights. If you start to declare something like housing as a basic human right, then the government has to provide it for you. What if nobody wants to build houses because of your unreasonable taxation strategy that you listed above? Does the government then compel them to build houses? What if the construction workers don't want to put hammer to nail? Does the government enslave them? Be careful what you declare as something that the government owes you, because the government doesn't do anything independently. It is a proxy for other people, so you are essentially saying "everyone else owes me a house and I am willing to use governmental violence to get it."

What does this even mean? do you believe C levels and board members personally mope out of the office with dog-eared pockets each time the business loses a customer? do you assume the losses arent already gifted to the workers in the first place in the form of salary cuts and mandatory overtime?

the issue is wealth inequality. that a CEO can earn tens, if not hundreds of times more than a line worker without so much effort as to even show up to the office, that is the issue. that a cloistered elite of leadership exists seemingly immune to even the worst outcomes of business, only to arrive in yet further opulence after they retire in golden parachutes flush with shares of the company the excess capital of the workers themselves built in the first place.

if you want people to show up after the pandemic to swing hammers and build products, you need to give them more than the cost of the gas to get to work and a half hour lunch.
There is something to what you're saying. The expectation of sex does "up the ante" for dating, and, paradoxically, may reduce the overall amount of dating that happens. In the old days, there was a stigma on sex before marriage, but people would go on lots of dates.
I think the academic tone is closer to:

"Event A happened. Event B happened. Event C happened. In that order. Perhaps that means X"

The pop-history tone is closer to:

"Historical character M had plans to N, inspired by O. This is supported by the evidence we have for events A, B and C."

Oh boy no. Maybe for you. Maybe for some. With a bit of empathy should be able to imagine that not everyone think like you do. What if someone wants to play pokemon for the exploration, lore and care taking of pokemon. For that person, fighting and leveling is a chore. Maybe someone does not have the actual time for the grind before each arena.

These capitalist demands affect the morale of workers who don't get compensated fairly. It also makes it much, much more difficult for small businesses without $1B of borrowing power to compete with public companies. This limits competition (sales), which is bad for consumers. It limits competition (hiring) because small businesses simply can't pay (even half of) what a lot of public companies can.

So consumers lose. Workers lose. Everybody is stressed out and pissed off. The upper class is oblivious or doesn't care.

Another economic dynamic outside of major cities is that housing might be more affordable, but goods and services (mostly) cost the same as anywhere else in a global economy where prices are controlled by the biggest players.

At my job, we've been experiencing the massive XMP metadata problem, though not in GIMP specifically. In a rendering system built with Python, Pillow, and PyCairo. It took me a while to figure out why Pillow and PyCairo were crying about certain images. Turns out art we are receiving from a client, who uses Photoshop to make the art, when saved to a PNG, is un-openable with the default settings of (either Pillow or PyCairo, can't remember) as it expects metadata in the kilobytes, not the megabytes. Especially not in the tens of megabytes.

In some cases, we had files where the PNGs would be 90 MB at only a meager resolution like 800x600 or something, and when we figured out what was happening, and removed the XMP metadata, it shrunk down to 0.5 MB. Unbelievable.

Glad to see at least the GIMP team is on top of it. According to forum posts going back years, Adobe couldn't care less. Another reason to take FOSS apps over proprietary, any day.
Bike shedding for the senses
The article says part of the problem is vineyards. Those have a bunch of non-wood products (like wire) embedded in the vines which make it a costly, manual process to disentangle the potential mulch from stuff that would either destroy the mulching machine or embed metal bits in the mulch itself.
The fact that the company invests heavily in Bitcoin is a surprise for me. After a second thought this probably is a bit more risky but no different in essence from other investments, in bonds or in stocks. Still I hope what the CEO said was true i.e. the company has enough $$ to cover its loan. There could be other black swan events that blocks converting Bitcoin to USD.
>In fact investing stimulates new construction

But this isn’t practically true in most major metropolitan areas. When one makes an investment as large as a home, one of the best ways to protect that investment is to block further construction (reducing supply and therefore raising demand on your investment)

Apple enables system wide tracking of all app usage, installs, and in-app purchases for themselves with a prompt to "Turn On Personalized Ads" while third-parties must show a prompt that says "Ask App Not To Track". For third-party ads to operate effectively, you need to reject the "Ask App Not To Track" prompt in both the app that displayed the ad and the app that was being advertised.
Given we're in a multi decade slump in house building I'd argue this is not the case.
The very notion of "average worker" seems to disregard the fact that much of the current inequality arises from dispersion in labor compensation itself, not other components of GDP (that are quite residual anyway). If you want workers overall to be better off, you should be pushing for improved economic development and higher productivity.
I got the impression it meant a meeting for the intention of initiating a romantic (presexual) relationship. Like going to dinner alone together instead of with a group of friends.

They mention later that Japanese culture is more group-social than, presumably, the author's culture, and perhaps couples can have spent a lot of time together before calling it a date.
> Maybe it fits certain products more than others

I think that's the key point being lost in any of these over-generalizations of "software" separated from actual industries and customer types.

Building a back-end system for a corporate client? Yeah, probably write a spec first and get them to sign off.

Starting an API-driven business, selling metered REST API resources? Definitely a strong case for writing the docs first, which are key to adoption and usage.

Building a new social, dating, or media network? Seems unlikely the docs are going to be a deciding factor in those projects' success.

The problem with this is that not everyone has the down payment or the desire to be a homeowner. What you're describing would likely increase ownership somewhat, but it would also create an incredibly punitive tax on renters, who tend to be less economically advantaged.

If you can't come up with a down payment, then you have to rent. Because you have this captive group of people who don't have any other option, the result of what you're suggesting is that your 10% tax on non-individually owned property will just be passed along to renters. They'll have to pay it, because they have no other choice. The government will collect their tax money, but at the expense of the least advantaged, not the owners of investment properties.

Unfortunately, the S2 has very limited 4G (LTE) support, and the 3G networks are being shut down. I believe, based on the supported bands, that it would only work with AT&T. The 1G of RAM is going to make things difficult moving forwards too.

-------------------

Ultimately, we need something even beyond Google's Fuchsia OS.

First, we need hardware that is relatively standardized, and able to be identified at boot time. Just like how you aren't bothered by having an extra USB controller on your PC motherboard, or which PCIe slot you plug in your network card. We need a standardized means of identifying on-chip and off-chip peripherals available to the system, so that we can have a standard set of drivers loaded automatically.

This is hampered by all the changes (over the last couple decades) in things like power management and security (secure boot).

It is not all bad news. For example, there is relatively low diversity in USB host controllers, everyone tends to use the same standardized hardware interface.

But there hasn't been much cooperation across the industry to standardize peripherals in the embedded world like there has been in the PC world.
That's capitalist propaganda. For example, in 2021 investors bought 28% of houses sold in Texas [1].

I say "propaganda" because that's the idea: that market forces will solve the problem. But in reality it's easy to get to a state where a single or small number of market participants effectively corner the market or become so politically powerful that any government works at their behest. This includes blocking new construction to protect and appreciate the value of existing holdings.

Just look at how much in the last 6-12 months you've seen stories that go "20 offers on this house and it went $200k over ask all cash".

The effect of all this is that it's driving rents through the roof, that is adversely affecting the most vulnerable.
