If Adacore had published a full featured free compiler for students/universities by the time Ada 95 standard was published, I am sure that Ada could have occupied the space C++ takes today.

Mostly what Ada lacks is not the features but the comunity effect, we saw that when comparing feature parity with C++ and we see that again when comparing feature parity with Rust.

There are a lot of briliant features and tooling in Ada, but unless there is a community effect (or a gigantic industry sponsor e.g. golang) it is difficult to convince people to switch over.

I can't remember who said it so I will paraphrase, the best language/target to program in is whatever your friends/colleagues are using.
I'm a little surprised that nobody has pulled off the "VB6 of javascript". I don't mean one of the purely no-code products, but like a literal "create a new page, drag a button, then double click it to hop into the code for a new route and a new component and go straight into the onclick handler".

Maybe that's harder than I can imagine, or it exists and just isn't a very good idea in practice (how would you even do responsive?) so it's not that popular.

VB was a garbage language by modern standards but I always liked that they gave you a visual builder, but didn't try to hide the coding from you too much.

The alternative if they won’t raise your salary to a desired level is to lower your output proportionally.

I’ve always wondered how this would work as a negotiation tactic. Company gets to max salary offered, you then tell them you’ll take it but with a 4 day work week instead of a 5 day one.
Question:

If a stock is overvalued, and corrects as a result of an investigation pursued in furtherance of an aborted sale, was stockholder value destroyed, or merely shown to be unrealistic in market expectation?

This is my problem with market valuations. Seldom have I seen companies where even shallow diligence bears out what tend to amount to inflated prices.

Contract law has come into the forefront of my "this BS warrants a deepdive" list. Seems like it's something both central to modern life, yet largely predicated on a bunch of hokum to the point contracts often contain what I consider "legal chicken clauses" stuff you can get thrown out, but the effort to do so being enough to act as a chilling effect..
The trick is that there’s two tiers of expensive for GA:

- People buying, say, a new SR22 for $779,000

- People buying, say, a 1976 Cessna 172 for $72,000 and splitting it with 3 friends

Having Cirrus work on, say, regular Mogas by contracting Continental to develop a new engine would be expensive but the buyers aren’t particularly price sensitive and amortized across the typical lifetime of an aviation engine design (the IO-550 in the SR22 was first delivered in 1983) likely wouldn’t hurt much.

Trying to come up with an engine swap for the O-320 in that ‘76 172 is a whole other can of worms. Who’s going to even sign off on it? The whole aircraft is 50 years old and designed and certificated for that specific engine. There’s no financial incentive for Cessna to do it, and even if they did, the cost to do the swap would likely significantly exceed the financial capacity of many owners.

I absolutely would love to see a financially viable way to get past this! The use of LL fuel in 2022 is tragic. On the other hand, killing off a big chunk of the GA industry and leaving it solely in the purview of the Wealthy and not just dedicated hobbyists… that sucks.

For context, my family has an old Piper J3 sitting in a hangar on a farm. It definitely needs an overhaul, but to get it back in the air would likely be a low 5-figure bill; retrofitting a Mogas engine onto it in such a way that it doesn’t need to be categorized as “experimental” would be… prohibitive.
Merger sounds much better to the employees of Iron source.
> It's almost like they decided to mobilize and actually do something, treating this like a problem that can be decomposed and solved by thinking about it and doing stuff instead of tinkering with taxes

The incentive to do something comes from making gas prices higher, or “tinkering with taxes”.

The US has cheap fuel at the pump, incentivizing people to continue buying SUVs and pickup trucks with 5+ liter engines that get 10 to 20 miles per gallon. It incentivizes people to live on quarter acre lots in far flung suburbs that require individual cars to get around. The people living this lifestyle do not want to spend money on public transport, or dense living. They have the life they want, in big houses on big plots of land, getting around in the luxury of their personal vehicles.

They will vote for the politician who continues to enable and make this life easier, they will vote to make roads wider, and prioritize car transportation over walking and bicycling and public transport.

Why would I want my taxes to increase to build a rail network when I have my own large, luxurious vehicle with which I can get to anywhere I want, anytime I want, without having to share the space with random others for 20 cents per mile worth of fossil fuel?

We will never know what happened on that day. None of the witnesses can be considered reliable. Even if they consider their own accounts as honest, the eventual fallout would taint their memories of the events. The best we can hope for is documentation to support one hypothesis or another (e.g. contracts).

That said, I do agree the common account is both disrespectful and inaccurate. I never understood why people would believe that Gary Kildall or Dorthy McEwen would brush off a business meeting. They may not have been an empire builders, but they were successful business people who built a successful business.
Headline is misleading:

- it wasn't inflation that rose, but prices (inflation is the first derivative of prices wrt time)

- the rise wasn't 'in june' (a single month) but 'in the 12 months to june' (a year)
You can monitor for the second case and react accordingly, you just don't monitor for them in the same fashion as 5xx class errors (which yes, despite what this article is about, I'm still using that term).

For 5xx errors you should typically monitor against a baseline of 0.

4xx class errors you want to monitor for substantial deviation from previous averages. This is a good indication if you broke something, vs client behaviour changed. Remember, monitoring isn't always going to "give you the answer", as much as alert you to a possible issue so you can investigate further.

Moreso, in a SaaS application, monitoring for deviations in 4xx rate by client is also helpful. An alert on a single client is likely not a system-level issue, but a devaition across all clients likely is.
"Growth hackers" imply they're doing this for the long term, which I don't believe at all. All these strategies do is give the organization a short term bump in exchange for a negative long term reputation and customer loss.

I've literally been warned not to sub to the New York Times by random people without prompting when the newspaper was mentioned in passing. Is that "growth hacking?"

A few years ago have tried Hex-Rays/IDA, and it gives me reasonable information in terms of program control flow, and help me with doing hot reverse-engineering without source code.

There are investment vehicles specifically built as inflation hedges. I purchased a unit investment trust with a basket of assets that should do well in an inflationary state. I also pulled cash out of properties and locked in 30 year rates . This has obviously become less attractive as rates have risen but worked very well late last year.

> but there is absolutely a cost to the developer and I'm not talking about the cost of storing a hashed/salted password in the DB itself. There is a cost to build and maintain a password-based system.

Seriously ... if today's developers are unable or unwilling to learn about basic hashing/salting and database storage/value comparison, and consider such concepts 'costly' ... we may have passed the zenith of technological advancement, and are in a 'downfall of the Roman Empire' phase. Have some pride in your work.

Do you reinvent the wheel whenever you need to drive somewhere? these things mostly are already baked into most frameworks, and if they are not, most developers build something like this once, and reuse.

Most subscriptions are fixed-periods: this means that once you pay, it is non-refundable. Doesn't matter that this is illegal in Australia, NZ and EU: they only sporadically enforce it anyways. In practice, this means that
you cancel for the future subscription, not the current period.

This doesn't seem very compelling, when you look at the debt to GDP ratio you see a very clear theme: Disasters happen, debt:gdp spikes, and then slowly returns to reasonable levels. WW1, Great depression, WW2, Great recession, Pandemic. Clear events that spike debt and damange GDP. Outside of those events we see it basically flat, often falling. And tax revenue and spending charts? Before the pandemic spending wasn't on a particular upward trend and revenue wasn't particularly high or low. Then they go and project a massive, unprecedented continual rise for decades. Not compelling, maybe call us in 15 years and show us that we really are on that escalator?

And the explanation for this? An ageing population putting new pressure on social security and medicare. And an ageing population means fewer people in work causing slower GDP growth.

Well I've got an answer for this: it doesn't have to be the case that the US has an ageing population. It doesn't have to be the case that the US has slow economic growth.

Let's assume you buy this argument though, and you decide that you want to throw an entire generation of older Americans into poverty and allow them to die en masse from preventable diseases so that you can balance the budget. Even then, what you're basically saying is the American dream is over, the core belief in this article is that the US economy is going to basically stagnate and we'll all get poorer. Hell, that might be correct, but that doesn't seem like the outcome that I would be aiming for and planning for.

Money (cash) is not wealth. Wealth can be created, or destroyed. The clearest explanation I've read for this was a PG essay: http://www.paulgraham.com/wealth.html specifically the "Money Is Not Wealth", "The Pie Fallacy", and "Craftsmen" sections. Of course this essay has a positive/optimistic take on it, but certainly wealth can be destroyed as well.
At this point one my argue who Unity writes their blog posts for. But then again if you simply filter out the marketing speech, you'll end up with a pretty good, simplified description:

Hard pass - this is something that may be narrowly/semantically correct, but I’m not going to decode an HTTP response to figure out what business logic should happen after a bad lookup.

I’ll also point to other status codes like 400 Bad Request or 401 Unauthorized which give a clear reason for why something didn’t work as expected. Under the author’s framework all 4xx responses should be 200.
> That's not my opinion.

That is your opinion. There is no factual basis on which to claim that Fox (which is part of the MSM btw.) is somehow more factual or better news than the rest. This of course doesn't mean that the rest is good, just not as crazy bad.

True on Android. iPhone lifespan is longer at 5+ years.

Yes, we do. Because a fair number of people are math / numbers "shy" and don't do the calculations. That favors the employers. Painting "pay" more accurately levels the playing field.
Appreciate your response and my apologies if I am incorrect. But what I have heard is the following:

There’s constant large amount of coins printed for the team and their VC’s in which they can sell on a daily basis to dump the market. Also new coins being owed to the miners are periodically unlocked as well (in FIL it’s like a ponzi, you gotta wait for your rewards to be unlocked after many months to take everything out). Basically too many coins can be sold daily, very little demand, real use case, or hype.

While a Godot fan, there are some serious rough edges all over the place.

Godot 4 finally solves the insane widget sizing/positioning hell, but is still itself super unstable (scenes corrupted between alpha releases) and buggy (scenes broken on clean import).

Meanwhile, the 3.x branch is simply lacking features.

It's OK for 2D, though. If you can stomach the UI widget hell.

For the really-dynamically typed language, that for sure is covered in Smalltalk.

> Status codes are a very useful tool for observability and error handling

Adding to this, it is far easier for clients to parse response codes than bodies. TFA makes the following claim:

> Returning a 2xx code immediately tells the client that the HTTP response contains a payload that they can parse to determine the outcome of the business/domain request.

Which is wrong. Response codes say nothing about
the body.

Parsing the response body requires much more work: determining the format of the response received by the client, parsing it, validating it, handling edge cases, and so forth.

Further, it is possible, however unlikely, that the client does not accept application/json. Now what? Now there is yet another problem you have to solve.

And don’t forget the server has to generate all this as well.

All of this could have been avoided simply by returning a simple 404.
I think the Lisps, and especially Common Lisp, in addition to Smalltalk gives you a lot of the things you mention here. That interactive development environment where you can compile any code at any time is almost a given in these, with example programs such as GNU Emacs and Nyxt, that can be reprogrammed on the fly in release mode too. It is pretty interesting to look at and play with, if you fire up something like Emacs + Slime/Sly and SBCL for Common Lisp or the bundled IDE for a Smalltalk such as Squeak or Pharo.
Like Common Lisp? You get dynamic scope through what it terms "special variables". They work as expected, and can be handy.
Ergonomics are great, picture quality has something special about even in RAW. The body is sturdy as a tank, feels a lot like a F4. Which already means I love it, back as 13 year old I was allowed to use my dad's back-up F4 to learn photography on film, slides and B&W. Another benefit is small files it creates, it makes post processing so much easier.

The one issue I see, so, is cropping. I am not talking about cutting some sides or going to portrait format, but rather cropping out e.g. birds. That's the only time the 12 MP hinder you. In a sense a D700 forces you to shoot better pictures.

Overall, if you can, get one. There are some from places like mpb.com with below 50k shutter count in very good condition for around / less than 400 Euro. You cannot do anything wrong.

Oh, a D700 doesn't do video. No problem for me, but if you want to do video that is a missing feature.
REST stands for Representational State Transfer, so http status code has business meaning to the "state" itself. 404 is not ambigous. The real ambiguity is from 404, 400, 422 errors that you choose to return based on your validation logic.
If it's one you designed and implemented yourself, it's both a business card and a portfolio.

“One of”

It’s called a “dual mandate” for a reason. They try to maintain 2% while also lowering unemployment as much as possible. Unemployment is fine while inflation is hot, thus the 75 bps raises you’re seeing every month.

But, understand that economic conditions can arise where they have to balance both hot inflation and high unemployment, neither of their ideals but involve figuring out the best trade-off.
Or you could just use a lisp. Someone had to say it.
I agree. We keep trying to cram things into the employee "bundle" which is just dumb. Want everyone to have healthcare? Just focus on that directly. Don't want people earning less than X per hour? Do that. Almost any attempt by the government to legislate by creating these "bundles" like "are they or are they not an employee" is a dumb waste of time and resources.

In the original context of HTTP being a way to distribute interlinked documents, a web application backend sending a 404 for an invalid database identifier is equally as valid as sending a 404 for an unrouteable path. The HTTP spec does not support a distinction between the two cases.

If you absolutely needed separate status codes for the two cases, you probably could use 410 Gone or 501 Not Implemented for unrouteable paths and 404 Not Found for bad IDs.
