My take has always been that there have been industrial revolutions, but they’ve been suppressed. Tolkien’s description of evil is “the fires and forges of Mordor”.
The problem is not really syntax. Almost any syntax which embeds user supplied strings is vulnerable to syntax hacks.

The only way I could see to avoid an embedded string altering syntactic meaning is if the syntax either gives the length of the parameter before it, or surrounds the parameter with some unguessable values. For example:

SELECT "10:xxxxxxxxxx" FROM USERS;
SELECT "s63hfe&:xxxxxxxxxxs63hfe&" FROM USERS;

Where xxxxxxxxxx is the user supplied value.

Both of these are totally impractical of course.
> LOTR is famous for the women missing from social life, so there is no reason that such measures have been taken.

Maybe the women are missing from not just from social life, but from the world. Not just the entwives[0] and the rarely seen dwarven women, but even human women are surprisingly rare. How many of all those many men making an appearance were married? Only hobbits seem to have actual families, but still not very big ones.

Maybe Middle Earth just isn't very fertile and can't sustain large populations. Maybe there's a very good reason why population levels are closer to Siberia.

Yup! While we wouldn't expect it, the intensity here and at vintage races can be very high. Those guys are definitely on the side of "it was built to be raced, don't leave it sitting idle as a garage queen". Other than leaving an extra inch or two of racing room, they go at it hammer and tongs, even with essentially priceless unique vintage racecars. A few hundredths left on the table, but not many... Glorious fun!

I'm not aware of any evidence the approach works. Seriously.
>Yeah, this is my take. We've designed a system in which literally all that matters is continually preparing for the next election, which is typically not more than four years away for any politician.

I'd go even further than that. It's not just politicians who engage in short-term thinking, corporations engage in even shorter term thinking as well.

In fact, I'd posit that much of the division in our society is related to such short-term thinking.

When manufacturing and farm jobs (primarily, but not entirely through automation) started to go away, it was clear that things needed to change in order to maintain a semblance of parity throughout the country.

Rather than slashing funds for infrastructure and transportation 40+ years ago, we should have employed those folks who were losing their jobs to build high-speed rail, housing and infrastructure throughout the country, making it possible for folks to continue living where they were and have jobs elsewhere.

And 25 years ago, we should have started building out municipal Internet infrastructure all over the country, even in rural areas, instead of giving giant corporations tens of billions to do nothing.

But instead we ignored these problems (as such projects would take decades) and folks in exurbs and rural areas became detached from the economic engines that drive the economy -- causing many folks (especially young folks) to abandon the places their families had lived for generations.

This devastated many communities. Having high speed transporation and Internet could revitalize many of these communities, through start ups, work from home and fast transport to regional population centers.

That would bring money into the local economies and create incentives for new housing, business (all those people will need stuff -- food, housing, household appliances, etc., etc., etc.) and include those areas in the economic engine that made the US so successful.

But since we didn't do that, folks in well connected (transportation and network-wise) areas have flourished, while people in areas that don't have seen their communities shrivel, their outlook sour and their futures crumble before their eyes.

Is it any wonder that many of those folks feel neglected and left out? No. Because they have been.

And as the population centers prosper, the folks who have been left behind see their fellow Americans as destroying their world by ignoring and neglecting their infrastructure, talents and the enormous human capital that they represent.

But no. The politicians won't think past the next election (although the infrastructure bill is a start -- just 40 years too late) and corporations rarely look past the next quarterly (or if we're lucky, annual) earnings reports.

And if we don't alter course to make all Americans welcome and part of the larger society, we're just going to see more suspicion and ill will that will continue to divide us.

I wish I knew how to fix that, but I don't. So all I can hope for at this point is that I'll be dead before we rip our country apart.

And more's the pity.

My language is written Right-to-Left. Jira couldn't care less about my market, so I don't use it, even though I could trivially add support myself in Firefox's User CSS file. But there are another 300 million people who speak RTL languages they are ignoring along with me. Is 300 million people a small market? "But everybody in tech speaks English" they argue.

Being _able_ to use their product in a language foreign to myself doesn't mean that I'll _choose_ to use their product given alternatives.
Some of the most useful runs I've used it for is for refactoring of internal libraries.

Something as simple as wanting to rename a function is theoretically very simple, but if this function is used in hundreds of other repositories, it will be very tedious.

A script that upgrades the dependency + does a replace with sed or similar could be run to make this process way easier.
Good for him. I think this is what most normal people would do if they had a many millions of dollars -- at least for a while. If he gets bored he can go play with an open source project or start a soup kitchen.
Substitution effect. When you already have magic, the incentive to develop technological means to do the same things is drastically reduced. This magic vs. technology theme is explored in many works, though to be fair all I know of were written after LotR.
How Not to Be Your Own Worst Enemy
I sort of agree but one of my general regrets with web publishing vs. pages on paper (or even a formatted PDF) is that footnotes which bulletproof, add nuance, provide parenthetical detail, etc. don't work nearly as well because you can't just glance at them.
Modern NTFS (Win2000 and later) has "reparse points", which are basically file entries with some metadata that triggers special handling. It's the mechanism used to implement soft links (that are handled transparently by the file system, as opposed with the shortcuts you use e.g. on the desktop), or to mount an NTFS volume as a directory inside another NTFS volume, or by OneDrive to download files on the fly when you open them, or to implement unix domain sockets. You can add your own, though it requires adding a filter-driver.

Sure, even my GP said people are living way beyond their sell by date, putting huge pressure on the healthcare and social system, but what do you suggest we do? Take pensioners behind the block and pop a cap in their heads like cattle?

Back in the days, we used to have a once in a century virus/pandemic/plague that would "thin the heard", but now we got really good at creating effective vaccines and prioritizing distributing them at those old and vulnerable, to prevent nature from running its course, so we're back to square one.

So what do we do? Provide modern medicine only to able bodied adults and deprive the elderly once they reach their sell by date?
Good tactic. Will work most of the time but be aware that some people have the magic ability to turn the clock of culture back at least 50 years where already normalized terms become offensive again. Happened to quite a lot of words recently.

This is pretty cool. It seems really aimed at one use case which most audio editors don't do. The interface looks slick.

I can't easily test it now, but since it's not listed, I suspect limiter / compressor / noise suppression is not implemented? Those 3 would likely be the filters people expect the most for voice recording. (maybe also deesser)

Also I believe Audacity is planning to do non-linear editing soon, so it may take over a lot of that use case.
I used the ones that are specifically hard to open (you basically force a blade into a part and if you want to remove it it is destructive).

You are making the assumption that deliberately causing an undersupply of road space so that people are forced to use public transit is a net virtue, while in reality it's just acting against the market.
...Have you looked at the -O3 assembly that I'm talking about?

There's a short SIMD loop, which is simple, and fairly easy to understand. At -O2, you get a short scalar loop, which is simple, and fairly easy to understand.

If you were writing this function by hand, you might combine the SIMD loop with the scalar loop. That's not what happens, though. Instead, you get two versions of the SIMD loop which handle different alignments (unnecessary) and then, what appears to be an unrolled version of the scalar loop.

What’s going on here is that there are a bunch of transformations enabled at -O3 that come along with autovectorization. You don’t just get autovectorization by itself, you also get transformation passes that are designed to put your code into a state where vectorization is easier. You also sometimes get a number of transformations which are (empirically) dubious, in the sense that the resulting code is both larger and slower.
I highly recommend "The Last Ring Bearer" for people who like to have a bit of fun with Tokien.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Ringbearer

Eskov's version of the story describes Mordor as a peaceful constitutional monarchy on the verge of an industrial revolution, that poses a threat to the war-mongering and imperialistic faction represented by Gandalf (whose attitude has been described by Saruman as "crafting the Final Solution to the Mordorian problem") and the racist elves.[2] For example, Barad-dûr, Sauron's citadel, appears in chapter 2 as

...that amazing city of alchemists and poets, mechanics and astronomers, philosophers and physicians, the heart of the only civilization in Middle-earth to bet on rational knowledge and bravely pitch its barely adolescent technology against ancient magic. The shining tower of the Barad-dûr citadel rose over the plains of Mordor almost as high as Orodruin like a monument to Man – free Man who had politely but firmly declined the guardianship of the Dwellers on High and started living by his own reason. It was a challenge to the bone-headed aggressive West, which was still picking lice in its log ‘castles’ to the monotonous chanting of scalds extolling the wonders of never-existing Númenor.

That's the point of the OP. For a variety of reasons, projects sometimes take exponentially longer than expected. It might only take a few days to paint some lines, to convert a car lane to a bike lake. But if the project instead means either making the sidewalk smaller, or expanding the road overall to accommodate the new lane, then timelines start growing. And, of course, a bunch of other improvements and maintenance are layered atop the project. Generally speaking, the road is brought also up to whatever safety standards have been changed. That might mean new sidewalk bits and pieces, new electronic signage or streetlights. Before you know it you are staring at traffic cones for years, mostly as the project waits for one or another subcontractor to do X or Y before Z can begin.

You responded that you were surprised that something high risk / high reward was compared to a junk bond, and then compared it to a CD. It's obviously more like a junk bond than a CD, for exactly the two reasons you now mention.
The Numenorians actually also had a technological revolution, although I don't know whether it was industrial. They unfortunately faced the setback of being almost entirely wiped out when their continent was sunk by Illuvatar.

That’s a backwards way to think about it.

JSON-LD lets you paint some extra structure onto a JSON document by adding a little metadata. That is, add some semantic smarts to existing JSON document.

what separates this from something like Reaper? From what I can tell this doesn't look anywhere near ready for production use. Reaper can do all of this on all platforms right now, even a RaspPi, for a $60 one time purchase. Teapodo has a pretty high bar to clear.

I didn't see mention of VST support, does it include any VST's or VST support? I noticed in the screenshot that there is a "background music" track; does it facilitate sidechain compression? I don't see any channel strip functionality for EQ, compression, etc... Noise reduction?

Does it have the facilities to meet desired RMS/LUFS targets?

I also note from the notes that you're limited to 44.1, which would potentially make integrating with a video podcast problematic.

I went to the article, but everything after the first sentence was faded out and they wanted me to sign in to read it. Instead, I made up my own fictional back story about how this happened:

Tax non-constructivity. Someone wants to build a bike lane. Someone says no, because X, Y, Z. Okay, but let's propose something else.

Many times there are solutions that at least would seem to satisfy the involved parties, but no one has the money for that. Okay, so the difference between the original and the 100%-satisfaction solution now has more stakeholders, so let's involve them in the financing.

Obviously (?) there's no ready made framework for this, the problem is very hard in general (game theory, sociopolitics, plus the various concrete engineering constraints of the problems), but at least some kind of approximation of it would help to uncover the hidden externalities, clarify the positions of the various stakeholders, quantify the difference between the possible options, and so on.

Yes, in practice (eg. in case of a bike lane) it might be that the just do it solution costs 1000K and the 100%-satisfaction one would cost 15 trillion dollars, and we're absolutely no closer to deciding whether the problem that the bike lane would solve is one that needs solving, but at least now there is a design space, at least the parties acknowledge the problem, and so on.

Basically, it would be good to tax situations where the high-high-high level solution is to get out of that situation. (Eg. if you don't like a region and you bitch about it for decades and stop any kind of change, then maybe you should have found one that you like a long time ago.)

Would this help cooperation and would this help smooth out local decisionmaking? Maybe eventually. Maybe it's a complete abstract pipedream that would just pour some nice hypergolic fuel on every low intensity city conflict... :]

Most towns were not buried and most coal miners don't die in collapses.
