I'm not at all arguing that those structures are delivering value in their present formulation, just that they are present, they are non-democratic, and that was intentional (so arguments predicated on raw democracy are either disingenuous or misguided).

I think I would argue that the simplest first cuts to untying the current knot are to rethink the whole "legal bribery of elected officials" thing and find a reasonable way to enable multiple parties so that coalitions can align along a more complex set of needs than two sets of (absolutist) wedge issues.
I think this is very good for legacy C projects specifically that are no longer being worked on, to breath new life into them and easier coding.
Giving the big dig credit for an economic revitalization that happened to damn near every city over the same time period is disingenuous at best.

Money spent ensuring that some jerk in his apartment downtown didn't have to look at a highway is money not spent improving the T or fixing other highway problem points for a sum total of the same or better economic effect.

Making transit options not suck increase property values regardless of how you make them. It's the results that matter. Green Monster V2 that yielded the same transit times between various points would have had the same economic effect.

And this ignores the fact that the state let all sorts of infrastructure go into disrepair over the course of the project and we're still digging out of that hole.
This is my take. Mid 40s and I’ve never owned a toaster in my adult life, but the toaster oven gets frequent use. However I don’t make plain toast ever. I suppose if I did, especially in the AM, I’d see the appeal.
Small children can be seen as prey; adult humans are actually quite large as animals go, and standing upright makes them appear even larger [67] - groups make it even more so.

However, encouraging animals to be "scared" of humans is good, because large predators that get used to humans often have to be put down.

You posted lower down asking to be called out for specific behaviour that people find objectionable.

This.

It’s complete nonsense that there is a conspiracy to kill v off. You know it. We know it. Saying it is just drama for the sake of drama.

> And the issues discussed are questionable at best. Half the article is about a type checker bug, which was a 3 line fix.

> Then false claims like being able to modify array.len.

This.

You’re just creating drama saying things like this.

Just say: “The issues in that review have been fixed now, please have a look and submit bugs in the issue tracker if you find them”.

If someone has a legitimate thing to say, and at the time they say it it’s valid… that’s fine. If was wrong at the time, then by all means call it out.

…but here’s the good story about v: you fix bugs. A lot. Quickly. You build lots of stuff. It’s very impressive.

Things aren’t always perfect; it’s v0.3 for goodness sake. It’s fine. Just a) don’t claim it’s perfect when it’s not, and b) just clearly point out when issues that have been raised are fixed.
Fortunately it's getting harder and harder for the olympics and the world cup to find hosts. One can only hope that this trend will expand beyond these two most egregious locusts.

the learning experience is that the toaster they were familiar with is gone because of what they did. very simple. I guess I am the only one here that doesnt want to fuck with toaster repair. they arent worth it. they can cause fires and give electrical shocks.

honestly, the last thing i want my kid to think in that situation is that it is okay for them to put their hands in the toaster. Which they might do if they see me do it while cleaning
I had many terrible teachers in college. The problem with teaching people as a "learning technique" is that people can fill in the gaps. Students will inevitably self-study to pass an exam, and have access to many alternate learning resources. I think, since not all teachers code, it is not more commonly known that teaching dumb computers requires that you understand more.
Not nearly as dangerous as the cars those kids were driving a year or two later.

It's deeply unfortunate that the parental attitude towards tools these days is never "learn to use it safely" but rather "Hide it away! Don't you dare let MY kid near filthy manual labor!"

No one is claiming this Olympics (or any) doesn't involve massive amounts of development. It's sold as long-term, social & community focused, then turns out to be short-term, profit-oriented and single event, all funded by gobs of public money for generations to come. It may be naive, but it's certainly not silly. You would get a far better product to the types of development you highlight without the distraction and leakage of the Olympics.
I'd agree if it was happening in a loop somewhere. And a long running web service would leak memory over time.

This doesn't happen, we have V web services running for months without leaks.

But since there were several responses with this message, I'll make sure valgrind reports 0 :)
What a surprise, exactly what we said would happen happened.

Honestly The Olympics is a truly disgusting farce when you dig into the realities of it and the absurd committee demands.
> The idea that democracies aren't interested in hosting major sporting events isn't based in reality.

It's based on all of the contra-Olympic/WC movements that tend to crop up and successfully prevent any talks as soon as even rumors begin floating around.

> plus some petrostates and China

Out of the last 20 years worth of additions to the F1 calendar, we have Jeddah (Saudi-Arabia), Doha (Qatar), Baku (Azerbaijan), Sochi (Russia), Abu Dhabi (UAE), Istanbul (Turkey), Singapore, Bahrain and Shanghai (China) - which means 17 new tracks, of which nine are in a dictatorship of one or another kind.

That's just way too much appeasing to bribery for me.
I don't disagree with you, but Russia IS firing the 3M22 Zircon from nuclear subs now. At Mach 9, that's about 2-3 minutes to impact DC. And everyone knows, first strike, best strike. Putin would survive.

No, Japan still has not done it. The major metropolitan cities may reflect it, but there are tons of cities where that is not the case across Japan.
Yeah had that happen and it was clear why (small company closed down)

Starting from 6 months the CEOs explained how things are and what would need to happen in order to avoid it.

Two months prior they layed everyone off (including themselves) which is double the legally required minimum period.

In the end we closed down the office together and parted ways.

Most people had offers lined up and at least one colleague of mine ended up with a former customer. The CEO "advertised" him during the final call with the customer.
Three things:

To provide relevant data for a acceptance (manual) testing environment. Avoid using production data there.

To create (temp) mock web APIs in a database, so frontend and clients can start development while the backend builds the actual business logic.

To fill a database in development with which a dev can build the UI and views. This uses the same data files and pipeline as the first.

For this, I basically just download and transform one or more CSVs and or JSON files. And commit them as part of the software. The official import pipeline of a backend can ingest those in e.g. a CI or with local scripts.

Basically just a ./fixtures/members.csv, jobs.csv, vacancies.csv etc.
> Does anyone else experience this? How are they making money or why is this being done?

Could they be building an audience to exploit later? IIRC, that's the tactic the Russian Internet Research Agency used -- build an audience with memes and cat pictures, then pivot to political propaganda.
See my answer above. It comes down to the filibuster. That's a procedural rule making it so that the Democrats do not, in fact, currently have control. They have to find 10 Republicans to "come across the aisle" in order to get legislation on the floor for a vote. Getting those Senators to come across the aisle is known as politicking. That's just the way the system works.

Democrats do have the power to change those procedural rules, but there's huge downsides in doing so.

Bottom line - don't look for easy solutions to complex political problems. They're likely to be loaded with unintended consequences.

>It is the court's job to ensure the law is enforced as written.

The supreme court has no enforcement mechanism. It has no army, no police. Abiding by Supreme Court rulings is by tradition only.

>Where ambiguity exists, it is the court's job to interpret the law. That's literally the entire purpose of a court.

This is also by tradition only. The Constitution doesn't specify this, nor are there any laws that say this is the job of the court.
Ser, we’re at a point where a company like Uber looks like it might never turn an operational profit, and is quietly planning to/has existed most markets.

This seems like the opposite situation. Gravity doesn’t kill you from a fall (just like voltage doesn’t kill you from electricity). Gravity makes possible the sudden acceleration that kills you, which is analogous to the voltage-induced current.
You made that claim a couple of weeks ago, somebody investigated your claim, it turned out that you were grossly distorting the actual comment when paraphrasing.

No. Broad technical camps are not identity politics, and they're a necessary simplification for making judgements about the massive amount of technical novelty being produced today. I am not going to investigate each crypto scam presented to me for all of its technical details; there are too many of them. It's enough to know it's cryptocurrency-adjacent, and therefore, probably a scam.
Ahhh, if only Electron or Chrome shared that sentiment =)
I wonder if the technique can be flipped, by asking the student (who wishes to learn) teacher (in her role as a teacher) to 'teach' someone who actually has a more depth of knowledge and actually the teacher here (playing the role of a student). It would then be a more challenging task for both and hence provide a more direct path to learning by teaching the teacher.

230V AC is the RMS (root mean square) voltage; if you rectify it to DC, it comes out to 325V. Put another way, the /highest/ absolute potential difference between line and neutral in a 230VAC system is 325V.
Of course you do, as long as it's not illegal.

France:

"Wine growing makes up 15% of France's agricultural revenues while accounting for only 3% of the land area used."

"France consumes over 30 million hectoliters of wine
(14% of global output) every year, making it one of the
world’s largest consumers alongside the United States
and Italy. The average French person consumes 48 liters
of wine a year. (larvf.com)"

Source: https://www.businessfrance.fr/Media/Default/PROCOM/Kits/Agro...

Germany:

"When calculated per German citizen, this corresponds to an average consumption of still and sparkling wines of 23.4 liters annually per person. Of this wine, 8.7 liters are domestic still wines, 11.4 liters are foreign still wines and 3.3 liters are sparkling wines."

Source: https://blog.drinktec.com/wine/german-wine-consumption-and-p...

It's hundreds of thousands of hectares of land and a massive employer. Unlike other agriculture products, the margins on wine are very high.

> But use macros enough and eventually you'll agree with me :-)

I spent a long time writing Clojure professionally, and macros were used extremely rarely. People definitely didn’t create their own languages.

I guess it may also be a function of the other abstraction facilities in the language, the culture around the language, etc.
Hackney Wick was already in the throws of gentrification, already had a perfectly fine working train station, already had a gallery scene and cheap housing popular with artists and a brewery, all before the Olympics.

Now you have some soulless gross blocks of flats built on a flood plain that'll all be crumbling before the decade is out.

Think you're naive to what the area was before, to be honest. Without the Olympics it would have done just fine.
The greatest trick companies like google and facebook made was to remove themselves from blame.

It depends. I used the cheap knives for a long time before I was more successful in my career. It was a chore to keep them sharp as they tended to dull very quickly.

Once I had more money to spend, I bought a knife with more desirable steel properties which came at a much higher price. The upside is that I have to spend far less time keeping the knife sharp and safe.
That's 34 known and only in the US, as noted by Ann. Her new video notes 30 in the UK and more in Australia (where she lives). And it can't be reiterated enough, this is those that are known to be caused by this.

> Who would spend a month to write an article about a type checker bug?

I have no horse in this race, have never heard of V, and frankly find the emotional charge in this comment section extraordinary... odd.

But I am a PL person.

Bugs in the type checker are pretty unambiguously a big deal. I totally understand why the examples in the blog post are alarming. The point isn't that they can be fixed by 3 lines; the point is that there were obvious soundness bugs in the type checker implementation and the language designer's attitude seems to be "NBD if the patch is small enough". Given the post and reaction, I would not be surprised if there are many more soundness bugs lurking. So, that's an issue if I want to use the language for anything serious.

That said, it looks like a hobby language in its early stages of approaching maturity, so the degree of divisiveness is seriously confusing. My reaction to all the drama is closer to "yup some soundness bugs; type systems get subtle fast, what a great thing to learn from" than "I hope V dies / the V critics are terrible".

I'm guessing there are weird personality/politics at play, but don't care enough to find out.

Anyways. I liked the Android examples.
