I don’t think him seeing narcissism everywhere implies that he’s projecting. Sure, maybe he is. Or maybe he’s making a genuine observation that has unpleasant ramifications. Maybe he has some hard won insight into humanity.

Why can’t it be true?

Also, making empirical observations and hypothesizing about their causes may not be standard, but that says nothing about their validity. Granted it’s not proof.

I think your notion that this doesn’t come from a healthy place needs to be explored more.

Here are some books that I suggest to learn DSA properly:

1. A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structure and Algorithms from PragProg Bookshelf. Written in a very approachable manner with very good code. The best for self-learners.

2. Algorithms by Dasgupta, Papadimitriou, Vazirani (DPV). Very short and concise book- extremely well-written with a personality. Requires basic CS math.

3. Algorithm Design Manual by Skeina. Extremely approachable as well. Has 'battle stories' of algorithm usage. Good for self-learners. Links to problems in Leetcode is given.

4. CLRS is of course nice for a mathematically rigorous study.

Socially liberal middle class Democrats on the other hand—the would-be saviors of the “underclass”[1]—are convinced that they are voting for the progressive party and not merely the more socially liberal business party which is more interested in maintaining the duopoly than they are in winning against the Rs. No brainwashing going on there.

I've heard over and over horror stories along those lines. Someone having a mental health crisis calls emergency services for help (and absolute best case scenario they get a very expensive taxi ride to the ER) or goes to the ER themselves. The ER pumps them full of drugs or just locks them in what amounts to a prison, does nothing to treat people or connect them with services but charge tens of thousands of dollars, leaving people in the same spot they were in before but with mountains of medical debt.

Or, someone is honest with their therapist, the therapist prioritizes not getting hit with a malpractice lawsuit so they report their patient to the police, and...see above, except worse, because the patient isn't expecting it nor did they consent to such a sudden and drastic intervention.

Accept figurative death as a necessity and disabuse ourselves of delusions of grandeur. As minds adjust we’ll find new things to be titillated by.

Don’t get me wrong; given politics and public agency, YOLO it is. Zero fucks. If the present is not going to concern itself with others future, why concern myself with the present? Why mold myself to expectations of indifferent moral relativists, implicit ageists, a perspective built on observation of their indifference to adjustments agency, virtue signaling rhetoric be damned.

Dedication to inaction or action that comes way too late in deference to equivocating, is nihilism about the state of the future. Let’s dispense with calling ourselves anything else.
I mean, I would hope "easily" would happen because I can always just use two async runtimes... if they were "interoperable". I can quite easily have a number of separate I/O abstractions and schedulers all happening at the same time in C++, for example, and I never think much about it: I just co_await and it, well, waits.
You're the one saying that they didn't manage properly the forests, I don't know if they did or not but what I know is that when the population increase at some point forests cannot provide enough wood for everybody..

Step-through shader debugging has been available since DirectX 9 or earlier. Microsoft shipped a debugger called PIX and a reference shader rasterizer that PIX would use to generate a reference image and let you step through how the shader should behave. I used it extensively.

Reference rasterizers also exist for D3D11 (Windows ships with one called WARP and it's fast enough to actually use for many workloads). I think there might be one for D3D12 as well but I'm not sure.

The dark ages 'printf with colors' stuff they describe is somewhat unique to GLSL and is just a smaller example of how the entire OpenGL ecosystem was horrible for debugging and not well designed. These days people can use Vulkan or D3D11 if they want an ecosystem that was designed intentionally and has good tooling (D3D12 is more comparable to Vulkan but is honestly not worth the trouble for most people yet). For a taste of what good modern graphics debugging looks like, run a modern game in Renderdoc and you can take a snapshot and then pick a random pixel on-screen and step-through debug the shader.

Naturally, game consoles have even better tooling. The PS4 SDK let you step through the actual low level instructions running on the GPU (I'm not sure if they were simulating execution or not though...)
Many people are talking about sueing or c&d - I wonder why such projects are not hosted in countries where it does not matter (say, China)

Careful with this, it's easy as a partner of someone suffering from this to over time get too impacted by the constant depression talk and walking on egg shells to not say the wrong thing.

My recommendation is to help your friend or partner get professional help, if after a couple of months of listening you're still just listening to same stuff. Otherwise it'll take a toll on you and two depressed people are worse than one.

You are telling me that if a random guy walks up to you and hits on you by addressing you by your first name that it would not be creepy and unexpected? Your first name is definitely not public information that is associated with your face. There is also no reasonable expectation that you have to hold up your boarding pass for everyone to see, which is what is implied by a big screen.
Huh? It means that the approach is to only process the input image frame once, I.e. "look". And this is the 7th implementation of that algorithm.

I've lived in Europe for a decade now and I have a similar reaction when my family still in the US talks about medical expenses or I think back to how I weighed financial vs. medical decisions during those years. It's inhumane, and seemingly impossible to impress on middle-class Americans how unnecessary and pervasive the cruelty is. Living or even thinking within its frame leaves one a broken person.
I wonder if this will get integrated with WebAuthn. Originally, WebAuthn was supposed to provide a nifty security property: if a client authenticates via WebAuthn to a server, that server cannot replay the authentication to another server. This property got lost in the standardization process (I think it was meant to come along with token binding, but token binding mostly flopped).

So now WebAuthn has a weaker security property: it verifies that the client thinks it’s talking to the right origin. So WebAuthn protects users who visit a typo-squatting domain, but it does not protect against attackers who can pretend to be the target origin. The latter can happen by, for example, compromising a server certificate private key, obtaining a fraudulent certificate, or using a MiTM CA.

A hypothetical WebAuthn using exported identifiers would authenticate the user specifically to the server with which the user is actually communicating. This would work without any guarantees from the CA system, and would even work for local network appliances for which server certificates are currently difficult to impossible to use sensibly.
Something as simple as this should not require add-ons. This isnt js and `leftPad` you know
I'm not suggesting that we send ourselves back to the stone age. I'm suggesting that we stop shipping resources half way around the planet and then send the trash back because it's cheaper. The last 50-80 years at least has been a race to the lowest cost with no consideration for any consequences such as the environment, security and stability.

UK is a fine example. We had a great steel industry here. But it's cheaper to buy it from China and India and it helps us hit our pollution targets not processing it here. But we just pushed the problem to where the side effects aren't immediately visible. The real issue is our consumption and use of materials.

This is the reality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy63PEgmm8w

Just for statistical reasons, do the 97 out of 100 have it relatively better resource-wise than the 3 out of 4 in the old days?

WSLg was launched over a year ago

They made it clear that this syscall will not be implemented at all in WSL1. With WSL2 on the other hand, they are willing. That’s what a feature freeze looks like.
There was a really interesting NYTimes piece [0] about Gen X comedy icon Janeane Garafolo earlier this week that touched on similar themes of “not selling out.” I have often wondered over the years what happened to her. It turns out that she really walked the walk of not selling out and the obscurity that comes with avoiding publicity and promotion.

Personally my feelings on the subject are conflicted. I think that some degree of promotion is important so that others can discover great art and contributions, and so that artists and creators can make a comfortable living off of their work, but that “selling out” becomes bad when the pursuit of commerce overtakes and reduces the art.

I learned to program on scratch in the 6th grade when it was very new, circa 2008. In many ways, it is more real than other learning languages.

In retrospect, the smalltalk influence of scratch I think left such an impression on me that I continue to love dynamic, always live environments to this day. The broadcast system is surprisingly powerful and forward thinking. I do recall it being a bit difficult to build up your own abstractions, but such guardrails I think are useful for learning and I usedd Scratch before custom blocks were available.

Zeeo trust, as I understand it, is all about authenticating user devices, rather than fixed appliances. It is much less something that happens between appliances (though appliances authenticating themselves to clients does count).

I think that is incompatible with what parent said.
My parents grew up without AC. Their families used a series of open windows and window fans to create a housewide draft.

You can't just point a fan at yourself...a big problem is the air in your house getting hotter than outdoor air due to greenhouse, electronics, warm bodies, and ground temps. So recycling air out helps a lot.

That said, we had that same setup as a kid for about a month and it was still rather miserable compared to AC. Mainly because AC removes humidity, whereas fans don't.
A real death notice removed as targeted harassment would also probably result in some form of public relations nightmare. It's not like the ML model will know about the severe and difficult to reverse reputational damage of a fake harassment death notice.

OK, so the version of "interoperable" you seem to be using sounds like like "swappable", which isn't really a property I have ever cared much about. Like, if I have code that is using ASIO's task abstraction and other code using cppcoro's and other code using my own scheduler and still other code wired up over some callback setup, I would have just used "interoperable" to mean I can await whatever I want whenever I want without complex glue code, as--at the end of the day--I am merely passing a continuation for my function to someone who will call it later. I mean, of course the APIs aren't the same: in one case I am awaiting sockets and in other case I am awaiting queue slots and in another case I am awaiting random asynchronous events but I am able to do all of it from a single asynchronous function as they are all "interoperable". It just sounds from these articles that Rust can't even do that.

Well, there were some issues with genocide between then and now that cut down on the number of example I can give you and inherently limit them to places far from major population centers. There are a lot of places all over the country with fairly continuous habitation records that abruptly terminate in the colonial period. The Southwest broadly managed to retain a higher degree of independence than most other parts of the continent until the 20th century partly as a result of that remoteness and more organized military responses.
Popular with people who don’t care is pretty faint praise. But it’s probably enough to run a business so there it is.

"Deadly shootings" is the phrase used by WaPo where I sourced the number.

There are 1,136 total killed by police in 2021. 1,055 of them were shot.

There is a rough estimate that there were about 800 non-deadly police shootings, but that's a rough guess without much data.
Before modern A/C, in some parts of the US they used "swamp coolers", which as I understand it was basically a large box of damp wood chips through which outside air entered the house. These were a type of evaporative cooler - they work by the heat in the hot air being used to evaporate the water on the wood chips, leaving cooler air which then flowed into the house. No electricity required - just keep the wood chips damp!

Why? It just isn't a study that studies that then.
I remember it more as the dominant left-wing ideology among university students, creative people and various subcultures. Extremists obviously had more extreme views, but some mild anarchism was mainstream.

Back then, people still believed in a better future, and the struggle for money was not as central as it is today. There was this belief that if everyone contributed something valuable and focused on things that were inherently important, there would be enough for everyone in the future.

People today are more militant and more focused on money, because they have lost hope.

It's not really a security tool per-se, in that it isn't designed exclusively for security use. Its purpose is to concisely and completely communicate what software components make up a project/system. You can use that information for security/licensing/regulation compliance/etc.
Yes, they do. Lex and yacc equivalent tools are available for many languages.

Examples :

- Python: https://ply.readthedocs.io/ (I already used it in a very small project, again for my students, here is an example of how it works: https://gist.github.com/p4bl0-/f5ed1e60fdc5e76a2d321bc8708a7...)

- Racket: https://docs.racket-lang.org/parser-tools/ (it's really great, I previously used Racket for my compiler course but I've switched to OCaml a few years back, because Racket parser tools don't go well with Typed Racket).

> I don't have access to such corporate software at the moment, but can you verify in devtools where the delay is actually coming from in the apps you mention?

I already did. Like I said, that happens when there's zero network activity (the apps are a bit sluggish even with wifi deactivated) but also zero disk activity as well (according to Apple's tools), as caches are warm.

Sure, network in the apps I mentioned is also incredibly slow (mostly because of lots of requests and redundant data), but the real slow part is the interface itself. Dragging anything, typing text, clicking buttons, popups. Everything takes more time than a native app from 15-20 years ago.

Devtools show it's death by a thousand cuts. Thousands of sub-milisecond javascript functions, thousands of unnecessary re-renders. That happens in almost every operation. Even popup menus take a long time to show up, despite not really doing anything before such as loading data. This is in both Teams and Jira, btw, Slack is not as bad. Interestingly, Teams works faster when opened inside Safari rather than in Electron, but not by much.

> Leaping to "the stack is bad it needs to be rewritten in rust" is extreme

Thankfully I said nothing of the sort... You mention Rust a couple times more, so I guess this is something of a pet peeve to you, which I'll ignore since it has nothing to with my message. I was only answering to your query, I'm not interested in making arguments because I have no dog in this race. Like I said, other apps (even those written in the web platform) are faster than the examples I gave.

> I'd wager the developers are poorly incentivized - if something satisfies the ticket and looks fast enough on their tiny test bed with state of the art hardware and great network (perhaps even localhost), it ships.

In this case it's also not about being fast on localhost or having 100x more data, although this is definitely a safe bet on most products. It's slow even on the base case, even without doing anything remote, or having almost no data.

If you want me to wager on why this happens: developers work in a way they can retain their sanity. If there's weekly changes of scope, they'll program defensively in a way that allow quick changes. So there's no room for macro performance optimisations. The architecture is optimized for change, not performance. I know there are weekly stupid changes in Jira/Teams because I see bugs and little test features coming and going every single fucking week, frequently disrupting my workflow. VSCode on the other hand is a developer tool, and performance and familiarity seems to take precedence over quick stupid features. Why? VSCode is a dev tool, so developers indeed know better. In normal products developers are unable to fight back the asshole product manager or product owner changing their mind every other week.
