This analogy doesn't work because programming in "industry" has been like the MMA since day 1 in the sense that you have always had to "test your skills" and make something that people wanted and compete with other products. In the martial arts world a bunch of different martial arts just completely went without full-contact sparring/competition and instead built up a bunch of different rules and scenarios around how they were "too deadly to be done in practice". This is the bullshit that MMA exposed, and its interesting to note that the two practices in the comment you're responding to, judo and karate, have had a long history of being practiced "for real" in the gym and in competition and thus have spawned a long line of highly successful MMA competitors.

The analogy also doesn't work because BJJ isn't some silver bullet. What people discovered is that the first M in MMA is actually the important part and if all you know is BJJ you're going to get starched by a boxer with a sprawl, or more likely a wrestler with a modicum of submission knowledge, who will never let you get to the floor in the first place, and instead just grind you out.

So just like the question "what is the best martial art" currently has no answer outside of "you need a mix of striking and grappling not just one thing", there is no answer to "What is the best programming style" outside of "think about the problem you have at hand and crib on examples and knowledge from other people who have solved a similar problem". This "unfortunately" points to boring industry standard tools, like Java, C/C++, Javascript, RDBMSs, IDEs, Linux etc, etc. Probably some newer stuff like Rust and React as well. And note that answer isn't one specific technology, like MMA its a bag of different tools you combine.

This is deeply ideological, and wrong. You're using arguments levied at Trump years ago that applied to the US, a mostly services-based economy, and applying them to Germany.

Except Germany is a manufacturing- and export-based economy. Take that away, and you have a recipe for economic collapse.

Read the FT's article, which includes much more statements from politicians and economists. https://www.ft.com/content/6f325773-bf8a-4e28-9fc1-6bc986ee9... Use the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension if you need to.

Or, read what Stratfor (if you have a subscription) has been predicting for a decade now: Germany's slow decline, to be replaced as Europe's power center by Poland.

Germany was already facing a worker shortage and inflation. Now the government is discussing rationing gas allocated to German businesses. Beyond the ideological arguments, it's clear that this is going to be a crisis for Germany, and for all Eurozone economies; and their reactions will determine "how bad it gets". We are looking at a probable recession across Europe.

By the way, I warned months ago that sanctions against Russia would have a backfire effect: Russia is mostly unscathed, their oil and gas revenues are soaring; meanwhile Germany is talking about rationing. Sanctions don't work in an interconnected economy.

Thanks for the additional info! Very helpful and I appreciate it greatly.
Redstone is fun, and some people do amazing builds with it, but it gets tedious fast; like building your own computer from transistors - fun … once! :-) But Minecraft has an incredible amount of richness once you get into modding and command blocks (although it’s a shame that they don’t have a proper lua built in.) Speaking of which, there’s powder toy, which DOES have built in Lua.

I agree those examples are bad. I usually see something like "weird car I don't recognize is in the neighborhood!!!!", And ofc the explanation cant be something simple, like visiting friends or family, someone checking out homes for sale, someone got a new car, etc. It's obviously a cunning criminal staking out the place in broad daylight.

The simpler explanation is that there is no middle man demanding a 15%+ cut of the menu price. https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/technology/uber-eat...

Restaurant margins are already thin. So they hike the prices to pay UberEats and co. their share.
Well my point is that it's a solved problem that doesn't require a special client. Torrent clients allow sequential downloads, and people can use any source for torrents they like and play in any player they want. You can stream torrents without popcorntime.

This whole article seems to be based on the idea that pure functional programming is absurd and impossible, and this is just obvious and doesn't need to be shown. For someone who has written a decent amount of Elm, it certainly isn't obvious to me.

I don't think one signal alone is sufficient to make that determination. Lots of companies try to comfort employees during downturns.

In my experience before you see mass layoffs you'll also see some of the following: hiring freezes, benefit cutbacks, travel bans, infrastructure cost cutting, office closures, revamps to employee evaluation processes, etc. Without at least some other factors I wouldn't assume a company is considering layoffs just because they use the word.

Maybe we're working off of different overloads for the word "values". While there is no doubt a great diversity of experience per all the things you mentioned, to me "values" is a very small set of first principles that maps closely (or is identical) to ethics. I believe there is little to no diversity in that regard.
Not just a common currency area, most of the world, but is there anything wrong with that? Somebody has to have savings to stand up to the corporates. Its what Obama's Diesel-gate was all about! Obama (remember him?) was telling Merkel to run a trade deficit, but stepping back, what you have are different countries dictating policy to other countries, in this case the US dictating to Deutschland how to spend their money. The meme being pushed in financial circles is "debt is money", when what they really want to say is the biggest borrowers get to dilute their currency the most and dilute, which can be read as weaken, the purchasing power of other people. So you see countries like the UK ramping up house prices, mortgages creating new money in the absence of the UK actually making anything of any worth, shelter is also on the lower tiers of Maslow's Hierarchies of Needs , the British Media pumping out thousands of hours of property porn to reinforce Asch conformity, is all in all a highly intelligent way to control people using stealth means!

Your conclusions about what the Romans did and did not know seem dubious. Even in the modern era we still fuck constructions up, despite all we know.

If I recall correctly they had pretty strict standards for the roads themselves [citation needed], I would suspect much the same existed for bridges. Having said that, I think it stands to reason that chemical processes and variances in materials locally sourced would be something worthy of scrutiny. Porting tons of materials in those days would be suboptimal to say the least, so concrete compositions could suffer, alongside with a litany of other material compromises. Add in process errors and I think it becomes a far more compelling hypothesis than "they just slapped shit together but somehow invented keystones, leveraging both structural and gravitational forces"

Knowing what we do know, I think, tends more towards material optimization. We can more confidently design structures and do it with greater respect to cost - something I don't know that earlier civilizations paid a lot of mind to, especially when looking at the multi-decadal constructions of cathedrals for instance or more on point the coliseum.
The store doesn't tend to sell 2.5 oz of raw chicken at a time.
I'm unconvinced. Restaurants are not "forced" to eat those service fees, they can up their prices on delivery apps to compensate.

Does that make it a bad deal for the consumer? Maybe, but lots of people seem to be willing to pay the premium for the experience and convenience of ordering through the app.

Locally I've seen plenty of restaurants have different prices on UberEats than online.
How specifically does Reddit boost conservative content? I mean, every study ever done shows Facebook and Twitter amplifying conservative content. Is reddit any different? I doubt it.
That's pretty much how that works, and they sync threads inside warp, I have been groping in the dark for a while, and always hoped someone can write up some details to help me to get the idea straight.

Intel, AMD, Google(TPU) all have their own way to schedule 'kernel's which are very different from CUDA, there are no details about them, I was just curious like 'how do they work across CPU|GPU'?

Could someone do similar write-up on "Cow Postman"?
they do, and it's not a problem. just make sure your bed is big enough. in south korea i observed families not using beds but each family member having their own mattress that they all roll out next to each other in the shared bedroom. so everyone got their own space, but can be as close or distant as they want. if you think about it it's not much different than if you would go camping.
This is the same problem with authoritarianism.

Communities aligned to a single goal can do amazing things, the downside is just that sometimes that single goal is “protect a murderer that we all like” or “commit genocide”.

McKinley advising and assisting Purdue is not entirely unlike IBM advising and assisting Germany’s 1933 NSDAP government in its execution of a thorough ethnic census of its peoples, and then “facilitating the regime's generation and tabulation of punch cards for … military logistics, ghetto statistics, train traffic management, and concentration camp capacity.”

I see upon reading my OP that I did not identify IBM as a co-guilty party paralleling McKinley. My apologies.
I know some folks talk about putting code in escrow.

> Or maybe it was already in decline and Trump times just made it that much more evident.

I think it's this one. Local news has been in a death spiral for 20 years at least, I distinctly remember adults in the late 90s and early 00s bemoaning the demise of all the local papers, with one left standing but also dying. During Trump times they latched onto reporting about national news instead of local in a desperate bid for relevancy, but obviously couldn't compete with national news.

Lots of Americans (maybe even most) would agree with you.

But the people currently in power (institutional, corporate, and government) are all settled that this is the new standard. So we all have to pretend to agree or get kicked out of school, fired, or deplatformed.
Sorry, my bad. I'm tired, I shouldn't post.

Essentially I mean: scalable infra may be premature optimization today in a lot of cases, but eventually it becomes the norm for pretty much all systems.

You could similarly parse the early signs of a "devops" paradigm in the mid-2000's. I sure did see the inception of the paradigm we eventually reached by 2018 or so. Most of it would have been premature optimization back then, but ten-ish years later the landscape has changed such that a devops culture fits in many (most?) organizations. Devops being just one example of such historical shifts.

I anticipate the general k8s-like paradigm (generic abstractions on the dev side, a full 'DSL' so to speak, scalable on the ops side) will be a fit for many (most?) organizations by 2030 or so.

I hope that makes sense.
"And nothing of value was lost." This was one of the top voted posts in the Austin subreddit recently: https://old.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/vmtmul/finally_some...

Seriously, during other crashes, I remember thinking of the real negative externalities that happened during the crash, e.g. many economists have drawn lines to the current housing supply crunch due to underinvestment after the Great Recession.

I don't feel any of that now. I primarily feel that a bunch of grifter scams are finally getting washed away, and then what you're left with are products that are searching for use cases where they aren't worse in every way than currently available products.

It ignores the mapping completely:

constant.map(...) == constant

Constant functors are only ever useful if you need to thread a simple value through code that asks for an arbitrary functor. I'd say that's rare even for abstract, type-level heavy code.

How is this the West waging war against Russia and not the other way around? Usually it's the attacking side who's "waging war", not the defending one. Or are you going to claim Russia is not the attacker here?

Also, we're not talking about "total war". Total war would be a war between world powers. In this conflict there's only one world power: USA. The opponent is losing war against Ukraine; it wouldn't stand a chance against coalition of better armed countries.

Yep. My elderly parents have listened to Rush religiously for decades now. Fox news is on constantly.

They repeatedly contacted me in a panic wanting to arrange for a change of locks n my house, security cameras, etc. They honest to god thought BLM protestors were randomly invading homes in Portland because of these trash news outlets.

And then the bigger national media outlets do their "both sides means we pretend bullshit is worth taking seriously" nonsense and make the lunatic positions seem less fringe.

It's maddening that my own family is convinced they understand what is happening in front of my porch and downtown at protests I literally attended, better than I do. And it's all because of these news outlets selling a cravenly dishonest narrative that BLM protestors demanding police reform are actually some sort of race war against white people.
For those curious enough for a brief explanation -

>Sarno explains how your unconscious mind can provoke physical pain by manipulating your autonomic nervous system to deprive muscle tissue of oxygen. The book posits that the unconscious does this because of unresolved, unconscious stress that exists deep in your mind. By inducing physical pain, the unconscious creates a distraction that prevents this stress from becoming conscious. You can eliminate the pain by addressing the unconscious stress and becoming consciously aware that the pain is merely a distraction, thus rendering the unconscious's technique unnecessary and ineffective. The book provides specific methods for accomplishing this. I applied these methods and my pain disappeared.

Seems like it could be very effective, and something I'll keep in mind if I ever end up suffering from chronic pain.
Your statement suggests that you did not actually read the article.

She was drummed out of town because white radical Republicans made up positions that the educator in question did not hold and had never hold (that you can pretend to talk about CRT with respect to primary or secondary school is indicative that you have bought into the propaganda; it is a post-graduate law school concept, unless you’re a radical republican hell bent on fighting anything that does anything other than support a white supremacist distortion of history).

The reality is that the moment someone in Georgia says "this is not about the colour of her skin", it’s about the colour of her skin. Everything about what she was going to "bring into" the district was fabricated out of whole cloth and had nothing to do with either (a) anything the educator in question had said or (b) anything the educator in question had been hired for.

There should be laws telling media companies what to publish? So people don't read FUDy articles that people always seem to seek out and demand? And these laws exist for other mediums?

No, we don't have the technology. Once cancer cells are systemic (metastatic), they can end up in bone or brain, where it can be extremely difficult to detect or treat. Cancer cells only need one rogue cell, and takes about 2 years to grow to a size that appears in tests.

Sadly, cancer can also mutate to avoid the PD-L1 pathway.

> these are NOT build systems but they are META BUILD SYSTEMS

That's technically true, but you could just integrate the Ninja source code into such a meta build system and run it e.g. with a different command line option and then at the latest the attribute "meta" would be no longer relevant. "meta" in this context doesn't actually mean "on a meta level", but just that the tool is a transpiler from a high-level to a low-level build description, instead of a full execution engine. make (in contrast to Ninja) has features for both levels. Personally I would prefer an integrated system, so bootstrapping would not involve two (artificially) separate parts. But as I understand your message is that Beast is rather a Ninja alternative than a Cmake alternative. That's ok, although we already have Ninja and it claims to be a very fast build tool. So in the question we then just replace Cmake/Meson by Ninja.
