That's not an issue with "Visual Studio as an IDE", but "Microsoft's C++ build toolchain" combined with specific issues with C++ the language itself, such as: not having a stable ABI, no truly common stdlib, no package manager, and weird linker conflicts due to the way headers interact with static values.

This is the primary reason I've abandoned C++ programming in general, and I'm never going back.

From what I can see, the alternative C++ toolchains from other vendors (and open source) aren't fundamentally better. They might paper over one or two issues, but rarely solve the core problem in a permanent way.

These days I do only C# and Rust for the same reason you mentioned -- sane project, dependency, and build management.
Forgot to add the biggest problem was lack of universal DOS graphic API. Vesa came out with VBE/AF way too late https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#VBE/accel...

Things might of looked different with VBE/AF fully defined in early 1992 and subsequent graphic products all providing at least partial support (8/16bit panning and sprites would be enough).

Instead everything was too late. Even VESA LFB never truly got implemented on ISA cards (afaik only ATI Mach64 and maybe experimental support in ET4000?), and only started working on VBE and PCI.
Or you can just use Brave if you're still OK with a Chromium-based browser but are concerned about privacy.
Yes, when you have a 15x faster Internet connection, it feels like all your Internet-interfacing software has been upgraded. Lots of small interactions go from having delays built in to feeling snappy, if not effectively instant. Small downloads become nothing, medium become small…it’s nice if you do much with computers or phones.
How so?

Our transition to wind and other intermittent sources instead of building base load is creating a worsening reliability crisis.

It seems that people forgot that we still don't have many good ways to store energy.

This is just an anecdotal experience, but I was living amongst an international coworking community of a few dozen people in South Africa when omicron first broke out, and the vaccination status of people did not seem to have any observable effect on the prevalence or severity of the contracted disease.

That is to say that your sister may have experienced the same effects even if she had taken the booster.
Gerrit was a rewrite/partial opensourcing of previous generation of Google’s code review tool (Mondrian) so imo it’s the closest thing to the real deal.
Update on this, the public key is visible after the first transaction is signed by a wallet so the hash protection level is gone. After learning through key pair generation and signing process, I have come to the conclusion that a backdoor would allow for an attacker to transfer everyone's money into a wallet by signing for all public keys.

The attacker wouldn't even need a 1/hack (Q) -> P just need to be able to sign on behalf of P.
Any good kind of tea to try in particular from them?
Sometimes you want the drug, not the drink. In these situations it is annoying to have to pretend to care about what feels like overly researched excuses for addiction.
I often sit cross legged on my chair. Wears my chair out faster, but I prefer it. I can't find a desk that will go lower enough to sit on the floor. I.also stand at times, but I can't do it long.

I've used Freeplane for mind maps. It is heavyweight but does its job very well. Packed with useful features.

But then I found how mind maps get worse as the content grows, both in depth and breadth. A well thought out infographic is much more effective at presenting (i use draw.io). And a pen and paper is much faster and portable at capturing content at conversation, thought or video speeds.

Being constrained by physical real estate on a paper is crucial in my opinion for notes.
Humid heat is very different to dry heat. When I was in the Middle East, we wore a keffiyeh and it just seemed to drastically lower heat. So I can imagine the Bedouin wearing thick clothes. I suppose the American equivalent are the cowboy hats and dusters. But that doesn't work here in the jungle heat, and I presume it doesn't work for swamp heat either.

Now your salary is $100 (at best!) and... you have something like $500000 worth of software on that $3 CD with a black and white photocopied cover.

Yes, I was warned against drinking their "cuck coffee", but I never achieved clarity on what their unforgivable offense was.
Learning algorithms is useful if you are aiming for a job that requires knowing algorithms; they're rarer but they do exist. Having a track record at such jobs opens up more career options and can be more technically interesting than the dime-a-dozen corporate SWE jobs.

If that's not interesting to you, then yeah, you don't need it.
Most Apple users are bad with money, its a very lucrative user base to target.
Why can't they just give everyone the option of whether they want all political emails, or for such emails to be treated like other emails (hence possibly regarded as spam)? If they really thought hard, maybe they could give users the ability to choose amongst spam algorithms!

A firm in a competitive market would certainly give their customers this option. Of course, Google isn't in a competitive market, and they don't consider gmail users to be customers.
I know a woman who regularly drives almost an hour round trip to the recycling center for plastics, as our village does not have plastic recycling bins. She's certain that she is doing her part, and absolutely does not want to hear that recycling plastic emits more CO2 than creating new plastic, nevermind the fuel she's burned.
> American coffee snob hipster thing

I mean there's a reason café americano is a thing: Take a perfectly good espresso and dilute it down.
Pretty Clueless. Only important issue is to prevent the wind chill. I have two novel ideas: Skirt and Sleeves.

Skirt is meter long canvas tube with 20cm slit and elastic band on top. When fully extended it protects your chest, stomach and balls. You can roll it smaller when needed. Kept under your parka. When standing (and ice-fishing) I yank it lower for extra ass protection.

Sleeves are meter long extra sleeves with layer of insulation.

Of course I have similar sleeves for the legs too. They have elastic band under boot, so you wallow in snow and ankles are kept warm.

The issue here is adjustment, your can easily remove all this shit, when the spring suddenly comes.

And best winter helmet is the Finnish Army Style. You remove innards from your helmet and strap it on top of your fur hat.
Its like 100 degrees all week in Utah. Maybe you can generate electricity but surely geothermal is best for heating in the cold?

Is the molten core of the Earth so hot that its inexhaustable? I'm wondering if it cools if that could potentially cause any issue. At least I'd think a warming planet doesn't need that extra heat on the surface.
I don't think an enormous company-wide filesystem matters when you're not an enormous company and you're not committing to fixing downstream dependencies maintained by other teams (or, often, by nobody) when you break them. Go's approach to versioning and dependencies works better when you don't have or want a monorepo managed by a single organization. Let unmaintained code sit, using the dependencies it was using at the time, until someone decides to maintain it.
Well the article mentions it. My numerous tours of power plants. And 20 years of stories from my uncle (now retired) who was an engineer on power generation (mostly hydroelectric, a little nuclear). And a bit of my own experiences with mechanical systems.
He keeps asserting that the excess deaths are not attributable to COVID, but offers no proof or corroboration. Wouldn't the simple explanation be that COVID deaths are under attributed? That would be an easy assumption to make in the USA, given reports of county coroner's that don't report deaths as from COVID.
The GCP web console and CLI tool(s) are... Fine. Better than AWS in my estimation, but YMMV.

But using it, I feel deeply in my gut that there has to be a better way. But I've not seen anything across any of the major clouds that is much better.
A public school in Florida built America’s greatest math team
It isn’t popular? Like “uber and a dozen of similar sized companies and some major oss projects using it” not popular?
It’s interesting to me the emphasis placed on tooling. The tooling in Rust’s ecosystem, while good, is far from my favorite part. I very much enjoy how expressive and ergonomic the language is. Coming from primarily C and C++, it was eye opening to me to see all the things I never knew I was missing out on (borrow checking, const by default, ? operator, monadic types, the list goes on…)
Since the Aug. 2020 blackout the state has added 2 GW of battery storage for solar and wind, as well as delayed closure of a natural gas plant. There's another 2 GW of battery storage planned for this year. If California had the extra 2 GW of storage in 2020, the blackout would have been averted.
Terrible advice, startups have so many variables it's nearly impossible to time on purpose, especially as any kind of outsider.

Go to Stanford or Harvard if you can, otherwise if it's too late to get into that club, it comes down to whatever network you can cultivate, along with timing and luck.

Hindsight is 20/20. Don't get too sucked into the casino that is Startup Land.

Go work at BigCorp for big bucks if you're actually adept at engineering. For non-harvardites, everything else is generally a gamble.

If you do work for a startup, make sure to join early for >1% total equity, and if things start to smell funny, don't waste too much time. Every day spent is one you can never get back.
Amazon's internal tooling has everything described here. I can't say if it's better or worse than Google, but every team uses the same internal tooling for building and testing, code reviews, deployment, issue tracking etc. All code is also searchable in one place. The tooling is generally quite good too IMO.

I see the "psychopathy 1200% over represented in CEOs" quite a lot. Not sure of the veracity of that claim, but a quick Google reveals this:

"Roughly 4% to as high as 12% of CEOs exhibit psychopathic traits, according to some expert estimates, many times more than the 1% rate found in the general population and more in line with the 15% rate found in prisons."

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackmccullough/2019/12/09/the-p...

Somewhere between 1 in 8 and 1 in 25 CEOs "exhibit psychopathic traits". I'd guess there's a very strong overlap between those CEOs and billionaires.

Absolutely. I noticed recently that context is a big factor in how I enjoy wines. I had a great bottle of red with some friends over dinner at a nice restaurant. A few weeks later, I had the same wine at home by myself and while it tasted the same, I wasn’t as blown away like I was at the restaurant. Context is important.
Prohibition, the Wars on Poverty, Drugs, Immoral Music ... not hard to find examples that match this analysis.

"grassroots" is a term that gets used more often than observed to be real, of poltical activists. For me it means they're people personally affected by their issue. They're the fringe of the "activist" world, always changing, hardly ever effective, but far more fun to work with than the professionals.
> England was beaten bloody. Germany lost, in total, well under a month's later production of warplanes, remarkably few per sortie. Its capacity to wage war was wholly undiminished. Germany could have continued as long as they cared to, but England was much closer to its limit than is widely recognized.

England was already beaten bloody before the Battle of Britain.

> Germany could have continued as long as they cared to, but England was much closer to its limit than is widely recognized

I think it's very widely recognized that England had been at the limit, but by the end of the Battle of Britain they had proven they could obtain resupply from the US and Germany couldn't stop enough convoys.

> Germany lost, in total, well under a month's later production of warplanes, remarkably few per sortie. Its capacity to wage war was wholly undiminished. Germany could have continued as long as they cared to

No one is arguing Britain won the war then, just that specific battle.

> Aside from Atlantic naval operations, the western war was nearly a sideshow.

I think most people who've read about the war in Europe would acknowledge this - at least between 1941 and 1944.
I too was blessed by the above comment illuminating precisely how shallow and dumb I am.
24fps is still standard for movies, in part because people have associated higher framerate video with amateur home video recordings so it looks cheap. :)
No it's easy with an electric kettle system too, or even brewing in jugs. That's why a lot of new brewers start with SMASH recipes, they're easy. There are enough DIPAs on the market now that we know they don't cover flaws that much.
You must be so lonely, being so intellectually superior.
Beautiful post. More about emotions surrounding shared experiences where coffee happens to be a bystander.
This does bring me to a coffee problem that I could never adequately address. How do I with a slight OCD for cleanliness and fondness for one or two cups of good coffee a day develop a coffee ritual that works?
My espresso machine is unused most days because I can't settle down with my espresso or cappuccino till I have cleaned the machine. But by that time the coffee is cold and undrinkable. So now I just do a French press or straight up grounds in hot water and metal filter on to a cup. While my unused espresso machine gives me accusing looks. Ah... Life.
Don't forget the courts and executive. Without consistent (or at least truly random) enforcement laws are worthless paper or selective tools to punish those without power.

You're paying with the slow erosion of your freedom and privacy as well as a tax on every new computer regardless of whether it runs windows.

Eventually we'll pay with a 30% tax on all software and online commercial activity one attestation makes government and financial services unavailable to those who don't want a computer owned by google/apple/microsoft in their hluse and pocket..
If you need (more than a tiny bit of) sugar/sweetener to enjoy your coffee, then it means you don't really like it. This is fine, but I personally like my coffee, so I can't usually enjoy instant coffee without sugar. Cheap fresh ground coffee is good enough for me (and no need for sugar)
It’s interesting because the (in my opinion valid) comments of “but I have friends and family that I can only contact through Facebook” also somewhat translate to that analogy. It’s not uncommon to hear stories of people who quit drinking for example and soon after lose all their friends because their friendship really only existed in contexts where alcohol is present (maybe even mandatory to some extent).
I recommend Buttonwillow, good gas prices and you can eat a decent pususa outside while its 110F.
That's precisely it. I wrote down a bit more down below.

"Why is it better to write diagrams by hand rather than use a tool (e.g. inkscape, google docs) and export as SVG?

Because it requires everybody that wants to edit the diagram to (a) use the same tool and (b) have access to the original source file (e.g. the google doc)."

Based on the screenshots on codeapprove.com it looks similar to gerrit[1]. It also looks like gerrit is used for several google projects (eg. android, chromium), so overall it looks like a potential replacement as well. Are there any features that are in codeapprove.com/critique that aren't in gerrit?

All correct. It’s a real shame because there was a more subtly disconcerting thing where if you look at the Jewish groups Corbyn did spend time with, and compare them to the few Jewish leaders who supported the antisemitism claims … you start to see a picture of what you have to think to be accepted into the halls of government as a Jewish person. It’s disconcerting.
For what is worth: On my windows Chrome just freezes everything under 10-20 tab load. Firefox just works with hundreds of tabs not rebooting for months.
I agree with you, and I'd like to add that parents prices are high even for espresso machines. You can get a decent espresso machine + grinder for under 1000€.
I think I would recommend warming a ceramic mug that you pull your shot directly in!

I think it’s a legitimate question. Doesn’t seem like an personal attack.
It’s not just a display issue. It will silently convert any digits past 16 into zeros with no way to retrieve them.

Where i work, transaction records have an ID that is a 20 digit numeric code. If you are not very careful when importing that, pasting that, or editing cells, Excel will just strip out data because it’s priority is to convert it to a lossy format.
Are there any numbers on the difference in cooling? Is it significant? I don't generally want a laptop that large, but I have also had many laptops that run too hot in the past.

I was also curious since there were historically Basque sheepherders in Northern Nevada, which is generally not very cool, although the mountain summer ranges are somewhat cooler.

I vaguely remember reading a discussion about how much memory Firefox should use to optimize performance. Some ppl wanted it to just use everything while others wanted a memory footprint as small as possible. I think they went with a percentage of available memory, an idea neither side liked. (hah)

I bet there are settings to be configured.
Not in my experience. I find some dippers to be more consistent process-wise than others, but to my palate, age of the roast is still the most important variable.
I decided what to read. You passively wait for someone else to tell you what's newsworthy. I guess you sitting anxiously in front of your laptop doesn't count?

Does the news you're looking at reddit and Twitter for come with any commentary by chance? If so you're getting told what to think and feel about it.
We are already heating the planet by burning fossil fuels, and that has the double-heating effect of emitting gases which further trap heat, mostly from the sun.
As far as I can tell, router bits from AliExpress use the same sort of carbide as the 10-20x more expensive ones available from retail shops here in NZ, and they're cheap enough I wouldn't even consider having them sharpened. We're talking a few dollars for a straight bit, maybe low teens dollars for something fancier.

Never noticed vibration issues with router bits from AliExpress, though I do use a 1/2" router and don't tend to use huge bits so it would have to be pretty far out of whack to make a difference. Same for tolerance. That said, I also wouldn't reach for a power tool as the last step to a very nice surface finish or very high precision fit.

A bit of a clickbait title given that his LinkedIn profile says he spent 1 month as in intern at Google.
"existing tools such as Airflow, Prefect, Temporal, etc, but in most cases they require writing code in a programming language such as Python to define DAGs. [...] there is concern that adding another later of Python code will further decrease maintainability. So we developed Dagu, which require no coding, and is easy-to-use and self-contained, making it ideal for smaller projects with fewer people."

If the goal was to eliminate project-specific DAG code in programming languages, have you considered writing an YAML adapter for an existing tool? For example, an "generic" Airflow pipeline which reads YAML files and generates tasks for each clause. This would have much less code than writing scheduler from scratch, and none of it would be project-specific.
