> How much of that comes from a belief rather than reality, and potentially some room to grow on your end?

You know… suggesting that someone that they’re delusional and uninformed isn’t a very charitable way to discuss anything online.

The belief came from personal experience from 2016-2018 while I was much more experienced with JS/TS and relatively new to Elxir. It definitely influenced me to keep exploring and learning things outside the JS ecosystem I’d previously focused on. I’ve grown as a dev since and so has my appreciation of guaranteed immutability.

Also working with other languages, particularly Rust, in the past few years has only further underlined the point. It makes a strict delineation between variables, references and arguments that can be mutated and those that can’t. The language went with 100% guarantees instead of 95% guarantees for a good reason.

> I can debug well written code in any language I jump into

The phrase “well-written” may be doing a lot of lifting here. Different languages and ecosystems make different practices easy and tend to nudge users in different directions. People who don’t like learning often enjoy the idea that any Turing complete language is equivalent from the programmer’s perspective but it’s just not true.
> The immediate rebuttal to this whole article is that you can have custom response bodies on any status code

Not according to the spec, though you can for most status codes. (Consider, for example, 205.)
A7IV has a new menu, and I have not needed any software for webcam use. Just plugged it in and it shows up in OBS.
On the other hand:

I once got an offer letter with typos, after just a phone screen.. and it was totally legit! I worked there for a while
I see your point and I think it's a good one, but could them being a public company and their stock price plummeting not also affect their bottom line?

I genuinely am curious here, as I'm not well versed in how a companies stock price can affect their internal financials and ability to run the company without laying people off .
When you pay for a service that includes storage, then its your storage.
it's kind of wild that Teams is as bad as it is—doesn't it ship with Windows 11? it should be a first-class tool, but instead it's terrible. Discord, Slack, and countless other applications have figured out how to do markdownesque formatting, yet nine times out of ten I can't send a simple code block without resorting to using the "code snippet" button... but one out of ten times it works alright. baffling.
Relativism is a very useful tool for analyzing different phenomena; I regularly try to adopt the perspective of people I deeply dislike to understand them better.

But this is hard work, and a lot of people just opt for a heuristic of 'look at the problem from both sides and split the difference'. This is often adequate for many small problems, but when you start applying that approach to value judgments it makes people alarmingly easy to manipulate.
For the last 8-10 years it's been the same thing. Bitcoiners believe you can't sacrifice its finality, but can scale at a different layer. Other "blockchain" people believe something different.

It is a weird line in the sand to me that something must either happen on a blockchain or not be the right solution, pretty much regardless of whether that blockchain's finality guarantees are worse if understood at all.
For sure they are. The guy created a whole thing out of it, with his posture convinced everybody that that was an almost done deal and now cowardly decides to back off.

Everybody wants to see him actually make it better, given his big mouth.

Really is knocking his door and he is too afraid to open it.
In Belgium that would be illegal. It's even illegal to point it at a public space such as the road.

Only your own property is allowed.

Not sure if I understand you properly, but if the entire operating system crashes due to one malfunctioning app then it sounds like a serious bug in the OS, right?

I don't use Mac myself but these days the operating system is supposed to continue running even if some specific app does something stupid.

You can implement the heavy stuff in C++/Rust, compile it to a dll and import it into whatever engine you want. The hardest part about making a game like dwarf fortress is to implement a good UI, making it run fast is much easier and shouldn't be a priority when selecting engine. Game engine performance is mostly about rendering and not your custom simulation code.
Crimes have been committed against his property. I don't think it is up to him to answer to anything until that is resolved. Disputing something he doesn't even have access to is a guaranteed way to drag the situation further south, no matter what he says or does.

What seems to be coming out is that the laptop was missing for years before it showed up at the repair place. As such, there are a lot of alterations on it that occurred well after his last known access to it. There are also additions and deletions that occurred well after his last known access. So we know that anything that looks like evidence of something nefarious is tarnished. That's pretty much exactly what two unrelated forensics reports on the hard drive image said about it, so we have no choice but to take it as gospel unless a court (very unlikely) suggests otherwise.

So he really doesn't have anything to answer to, without investigating it himself first.

The vast majority of what people claim is on there are things we already know about him, and things he openly discusses in his book. So there is that, too. Currently his only accountability is to not add anything to the fire.
Am thinking that a few of the domains on the list expired and were snapped up by malware/scammer sites causing the spreadsheet to seem super sus to a machine scanning/checking urls.
Cell?
It also seems to mark you as 'in a meeting' whenever there's anything on your Outlook calendar, so if you block out lunch...
Sigh. I don't believe this aids the discussion in any meaningful way at all.
How can any serious business use GSuite with problems like this.
Rety: live coding, without the stress
By the way, at some companies where you are sponsored to go there is a 90%+ acceptance rate of people into business school. It is effectively a 'backdoor' into MBA programs. They like them because the same companies come on campus to recruit and hire people back into their company. It's a nice circle to be inside, but locks others out.
> Gas prices lately have plunged relative to where they were

Where I am I wouldn't really call it a plunge. It was $5.50-6 a month ago, now it's $4.90-5.50 but it was $3.50-3.90 in 2020-2021.
Yes, sometimes it doesn't work at all. Most of the time it does. A mod has fixed this one.
I really like the defaults Parcel comes with, it is very quick to get started with Parcel.

However, the promise of zero config is made possible in part by "magic" (strange conventions), and by having configuration spread across multiple files (package.json, . parcelrc, custom plugins which for some grave reason you can't use until you publish them to npm)

I really wish Parcel had sane configuration — I want to like it so much, but alas, it falls pray to the pendulum effect.
engrossing...
Lol last time I had a company issued laptop Teams would consume so many resources my browser wouldn't even be able to open up again until I rebooted. Worst application of all time...
There was a GDC talk telling a a story where two bored indie game devs made an AI that churns out throwaway low-quality slot machine games as a joke, but actually earned much more money they they’ve expected (thousands of dollars per day). They jokingly told that the reason for high CPU numbers was their “anti-retention” model, where people get so bored by their game that they would literally click ads to escape into another game!

That talk was hilarious, here’s the link: https://youtu.be/E8Lhqri8tZk
What features does this allow that aren't available if you just use the website via FF/Brave?
The cloud is someone elses computer. Act accordingly.

It's a shame this person lost their work. More and more stories like this need to come to light and we need to convince others the cloud is a risk, not a solution.
Sad news. We need to stop the metastatic part of cancer, it is an absolute death sentence. In my opinion, we're still in the dark on treating this. Treatments shouldn't buy someone one year, it should work for 10-20 years. How do we get to this point?
There is no cloud, just someone else's computer...
While it's not a security and summarizing its returns is more complex, it would also be interesting to see "home ownership."
JWST data is now publically available
That's not entirely true, some macbooks actually have insulation between heat generating parts and the chassis so that the user doesn't get burnt. The maximum acceptable temperature of the chassis is actually quite low, in the 40°C range.
You even cite proof that you are wrong.
- "JWST data will become public starting July 13th at 11:00 AM US Eastern time with the release of "Webb First Images" (ERO) products (24 hours after the ERO press conference), followed by Cycle 1 and Commissioning data beginning July 14th."
Didn't the FTC make it illegal to "click to subscribe, call to cancel"? The issue is just that it is not enforced at all.

Joy (implemented in Prolog) could tick some of these boxes.

> window2 is an optimized version of window1 and should have the same outputs for every input. I should be able to encode that in the language, and have the tooling generate checks showing the two are the same, and also run benchmarks testing if the optimized version actually is faster.

That should be possible with Joy, it's certainly something I want to explore.
The interesting semantic relationships are those that let the machine automatically deduce optimizations

> I also like the idea of modifying function definitions at runtime. I have these visions/nightmares of programs that take other programs as input and then let me run experiments on how the program behaves under certain changes to the source code. I want to write metaprograms dammit

Lotta metaprogramming in Joy. Many functions work by building new functions and running them, it's a natural idiom in Joy.

That also sounds like Red.

1. People are cheap

As far as graph-based languages and languages with arbitrary metadata and relationships between objects are concerned, I've been mulling over a language where expressions are represented as RDF graphs and that has built-in support for manipulating RDF graphs. I've use the concepts as an intermediate representation for [mostly numeric] functional expressions in a few different systems (including Factorio's map generator), but haven't yet had the motivation to really flesh it out into a full-blown language. https://github.com/TOGoS/TOGVM-Spec

If you wish to argue that, I'd suggest you guard your absolute clauses a bit more carefully, as they now suddenly aren't absolute. You said "produce no misunderstanding", I demonstrated that they do.
I don't see any indication that he was using paid Google Workspace (new name for G Suite)
Especially in Microsoft, such old historical projects are a huge huge mess. For Microsoft, never join Windows (anything, not just kernel), Power BI, Office (desktop one). Even many parts of Azure that I witnessed when working there, were already a huge and messy legacy. Colleagues, code and development workflow would be your worst nightmare there.
Hell no. (MS-)DOS was awful in every aspect, but CP/M was worse. It's quite amazing how age seems to make people paint the distant past rosy.

In 1980 CP/M would have been the obvious choice though for a micro computer, due to market dominance (there were penty of commercial software application available for CP/M, including, later, WordPerfect and Multiplan) and limitation of the hardware at that time. Glad that we moved on.
Fundamentally, Web3 is a suite of technologies to solve problems that are irrelevant to most people. But the technology is cool, interesting and new.

And so in order to make the business successful for them and their investors they do whatever is legally okay. Which is right now: anything. Hence why we see rug pulling, insider trading, money laundering, ponzi schemes, fraud and ultimately gambling.
I worry less about the police than I do about Amazon having this surveillance in the first place. The former head of the NSA sits on the board of directors and they have multi billion dollar contracts for services to the intelligence agencies.

Please if you want to surveil your property and people nearby, choose devices that capture it locally or to your private cloud. You can then choose to hand it over to police when warranted.
How does that bypass taxes?
So, what does a young person do these days?

First few years out of college were just "max out 401k contributions into some target fund" + build emergency fund, but now that I've amassed more cash than what an emergency fund requires, what does one do?

Originally, my plan was to use it for a house down-payment, but with the mortgage rates having nearly doubled in the last 6 months, that's kind of out of the question at this point (especially having moved to a higher property value area to be closer to friends and family).

Everything I've seen in the news for last few months just seems to say "sorry, the last 50 years was a gravy train, it'll never work that way again, you're screwed".

Both my parents' and grandparents' entire careers existed (or to this point existed) during the "good times", so I'm honestly feeling like I can't just take their advice directly.

Part of me wants to leave my present (tech) job and move to a FAANG type company (for the pay increase), but with all the uncertainty on the horizon, are the big tech companies going to maintain their current headcount or salaries if another '08 style recession (or worse) hits? How stable are their revenues if people start spending way less money on things?
The answer to life, the universe, and everything.
I was once contacted by Apple.

The email almost got shitcanned, because it was so scruffy.

The subject was just "Hello From Apple." There was no HTML in the email, and the letter was really short.

It may have been an auto-generated one.

It never turned into anything, but it was a legit contact.
Keep a second or third backup. If you want to be sure of the erased data you can simply drill few holes in them. But it’s a very extreme procedure. A two/three pass of “erase all data” is okay. HDD are not SSD that keeps the data when not “write 0 to safe erase the SSD”

And HTML/CSS :downtrodden-developer-with-woozy-face:
I taught data journalism at the graduate school level (not to the OP) and I regularly used Google Sheets as a channel for hosting data, which were typically U.S. public datasets, like city crime reports, Census demographics, election results, etc. This is in addition to hosting CSV and .sqlite files on the class homepage and Github repo.

The reason why Google Sheets was so handy was because it's a great interface for data exploration. I could show students features about the data, and sort/filter/highlight, without having to distribute/create spreadsheet files. I guess if Google Sheets ends up being draconian with its content filters, I could link to Github-hosted CSVs, but it's not quite the same.

Haven't checked my classroom Google sheets recently, but if they're untouched, it might have helped that they were all set to public view. Maybe the flagging algorithm looks at private sheets with much more suspicion.
Is it not trivial to create your own subreddit and mod it however you like?
It's a shame that Google are choosing to focus on policing what people think of as their private data.

Meanwhile, they seem to be taking their eye off the ball when it comes to the spam filtering that many of their users might wish for. In just the past week, I've received noticeable amounts of spam via: Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Photos.

I'm puzzled about how Google are choosing to allocate their resources. It doesn't seem likely that governments would be asking Google to specifically police spreadsheets for possible phishing data. The owners of the files definitely aren't asking for their access to their own data to be cut off. So what are the origins of this effort?

I have to admit, I originally thought that Google Drive was the obvious choice over every alternative that existed, but I can see now that I would prefer an offline or privacy-driven alternative. The risk of losing files to a Google Drive machine learning black hole & then facing Google's customer service black hole might be small, but it's also nightmarish.
I find more linux tech news on HN than r/linux, real good news that isnt allow on their sub.

I remember when when google came out against task killers, and r/android was all fanboi'ing over google's stance. When people posted task killers worked to make the device responsive again, you couldnt even have a conversation because google is always right.

Real life vs Theory, reddit is mostly discussion on theory on what should/could be the best. But, not always, home lab stuff subs talk about real life situations and outcomes.

In all, reddit is rather toxic for a discussion, I miss the days of newsgroups.
I live in a community like yours and IMO you're just hurting yourself. Your home is probably already covered by everyone else's cameras and they can just pull the footage from them. It seems like the only person that doesn't have access to recordings of their own home now is you.
Campbell's Soup to See Third Wave of Price Increases
I'm a mod on Reddit. Mods will be mediocre to bad, because they're volunteers. There just isn't enough time to do a good job on popular subs. And you can't fix this by getting more mods without introducing other problems.
Every entity has good and bad because everybody has a different of opinion of whats right and wrong and thats why the world is like it is.
I don't feel strongly one way or another.

As another said, the dismissing of notifications is onerous.

But I have no issues with performance, and no apparent bugginess either.

The query is part of the URL used, along with the path, for specifying the primary resource. The part of a URL representing a secondary resource and whose representation is dependent on the result of a retrieval action on the primary resource is the fragment, not the query; see RFC 3986 (query) https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986.html#section-3.4 (fragment) https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986.html#section-3.5
I don't know, I don't live in a place with driveways so it's hard to say how I'd feel about them. Where I live these cameras all face the street and public sidewalk, a place I feel is adequately surveilled already.

Anyway I had a few packages thefts over a few years and did nothing about them at all. I haven't had any in about a year though so clearly it's working.
I don’t think this is uncommon—in fact I think it’s the way many recruiters work.
One of the killer features of a QNAP NAS is the built in cloud backup utilities for Google and Microsoft - it always amazes me how often I have to fight with people to turn them on.

You'd think after the original Photobucket meltdown people would be more cognizant of stuff like this, but here we (still) are :(
They probably thought your report of a scam was a scam itself. We get this occasionally at our company.
