Most of the abuses of #define I have seen, a template or constexpr takes care of. There are still some cases where it is nice. But many times you probably should just write a function/method/template out of it anyway.

If you've spent any time on YouTube, it's painfully obvious much of it is not worth archiving at all. Clearly if you had some critera to select videos that are worth preserving, this task would become a lot more doable.

But what could those criteria be?

You can't just select out all those fast-talking "influencers" that shill and lie their way through hours worth of video just because they're shit, because sometimes those videos have thousands of people that DO like them, making them perhaps interesting to a sociologist 300 years from now.

2000-year old Roman shopping lists, personal letters and obscene graffiti are intensely interesting to historians now, but would have been worthless to their owners even a couple of days later.
Exactly. Also Canadian Tire (one of Canada's OG big box stores) has been rolling out an app whereby if you locate what you want in the app, it'll tell you exactly where to find the item(s) once you're inside the store. That's actually genuinely useful.
I couldn’t agree more, even though people could find ways to argue against your statement just to appear intelligent.

We’ve reached a level with AI where we ought to think about ethics more than we ever did. It is a remarkable technological achievement to have AI judging humans, but do we humans really need it? It’s not like this AI is reducing high costs of something.

Did it though? As far as I can tell they only have part of the problem worked out, and the rest of the problem may indeed be a show-stopper. How many more show-stoppers before they run into the same issues that bankrupted the $300M company? If you don't know what the show-stoppers are, then what is the best approach for plowing ahead anyways? Maybe sticking with wheat instead of corn?
What didn't work for you? I remember thinking events were surprisingly easy to use with GDScript when I tried the Godot 4 alpha earlier this year.
I was in a similar position with Apple ][, PET, Atari, AT&T, and DEC hardware.

I decided to keep and focus only on vintage computers that (nearly) fit in a shoebox, so now I have a much smaller collection by volume but about the same number of systems, like Atari Lynx, Tandy Model 100, Sinclair ZX 81, Poqet PC… Much easier to display and move!
That work towards incrementally updated views is happening and progressing. For now, it's a separate extension, though: https://github.com/sraoss/pg_ivm.
I don't think you're right here frankly, since the buggy snippet is taken from the Copilot marketing page (https://github.com/features/copilot). The examples on that page which could conceivably have missing escape bugs are the sentiment analysis example (sentiments.ts), the tweet fetcher examples (fetch_tweets.js, fetch_tweets.ts, fetch_tweets.go) and the goodreads rating examples (rating.js, rating.py, rating.ts, rating.go). Of all of them, only the rating.go example is without a serious escaping bug, and only because Copilot happened to use a URL string generation library for rating.go.

These are the examples which GitHub itself uses to demonstrate what Copilot is capable of, so it's not just a matter of people tweeting without reading through the code properly. It also suggests that the people behind Copilot do believe that one primary use-case for Copilot is to generate entire functions.
The NFT stuff was obviously dumb well before it reached fever pitch. Let’s not act like everyone or even most people or even a lot of people were taken in by NFTs.

The whole thing was a small number of people with huge amounts of money and very loud marketing.
I don't see how that refutes my argument.
Wait, for real? Do you have any links or anything about Unity working to circumvent Apple Tracking Transparency? That really puts the merger into perspective and shows their intent is even more reprehensible than it initially seemed...
I don't understand how it can know if you talk too much. 30 seconds can be too much if you don't have anything relevant to say but 30 minutes can be fine if you have a lot of important things to say. Does it transcribe what you say and match on bad patterns or something?
I can hear the sound of a thousand LISP devs hurting in parens reading this comment lol.

Macros, as with most things (including even goto!) have their place, the problem is when they’re abused. But to say they’re never useful ever and you should instead always rely on language features is not something I agree with, and could even lead to language bloat if you need a full fledged feature for every little thing which would be trivially solved with a macro.

The theology of the eucharist/communion is definitely different in protestant churches.

I've never been to a protestant church where they believe you receive a sort of saving grace from consuming the host - though there is agreement it is pleasing to God to do it.

In the Catholic church they definitely believe you receive some sort of grace. What "kind" of grace is something I still haven't wrapped my head around.
Apparently there were a lot of options, but the folks building them made the then common mistake of exorbitant pricing. A razor/razorblades model would have been more successful.

Exactly.

If you think "strategy" involves following a simple one-size-fits-all cookbook recipe, you are very deep in the weeks. Sadly that's pretty much what most MBAs get from their MBA program. Rather than the true lessons.

A lot of this is also easier if you are "present" in the now and the world. I don't meet many people who are either.
My wild guess is that the Amazon Kindle app was preinstalled by your device maker. That's why I think it keeps installing that version when the apps auto update. You can try disabling auto update. There used to be a way you could extract the .apk using apk extractor and then resign it with APK signer orijinal and android would think it was a different app. I'm not sure if that is still the case though.
> If you partially own a company, the advantage to the company is partially your advantage.

We're talking about IPO/SPAC investors who don't own the stock yet.

Are you suggesting that current investors would pass the savings of skipping the IPO process on to new investors? That would be a tangible benefit of skipping the IPO process for public investors.

But no one seems to be willing to say that will happen.

>> While arcade games have always been skill-based, that's not the same as "fair," at least in the modern game design sense.

Well sure the games tend to be skill based, but arcade machines were also novelties, like the little peep-show movie clips where you turned the crank and looked inside, or the "fortune teller" and some others. Skill games seem better because there is more replay value though.

If shortsighted management can offshore to the lowest bidder, they can believe that a few junior devs and ML code generation can replace a team of seniors. Sure, they can leave the decisions of frameworks in the hands of developers and development teams, but if those people are asked to justify the budgetary costs when compared to ML code generation it is no longer a technical argument.

The problem always comes later (often after the manager has moved on and is no longer aware of the mistakes that were made and the repercussions can't follow) where the maintenance costs of poorly written initial code come back to haunt the origination for years to come.
> Unless weighting is done by business fundamentals, it still enables misallocation of capital.

Is it your assertion that without index funds this would be occurring? We just saw deliberate decisions to buy companies like TSLA and GME that stronly argue against that.
The waitlist for NYCHA apartments in incredibly long, or units set aside for low-income tenants in new developments. But regular rent stabilized apartments don't have wait lists, those just go on the market to get scooped up like any other place.
No. They banned the use of Google Workspace by municipalities in specific circumstances.

This is marketing for a Google Analytics alternative.

You can say the same thing about law and how 50% of it operates - just a computer program missing a language to represent it. Except it's more complicated than that.
Not quite - C is predicable(ish). It would be like C vs Asm if there was no stable language spec, platform spec, or compiler.

I think it’s more like WYSIWYG website generators (anyone remember Cold Fusion? The biz guys LOVED that - for like a year).
Are there actually any people delusional enough to believe that this is done because their respective governments have their best interest at heart?
Basically every "community" that has some emphasis on a voting/ like system. So yeah Reddit and most of the large social media communities like Tiktok, Twitter and so on. Even HN probably has similar effects although they aren't as pronounced.
Thank you so much for sharing. I can relate.

For in-person, maybe just tell your team that you're feeling insecure about this and would love to get their real-time feedback (?)
I live in East Village right on the border with the LES. There's certainly development happening and new buildings coming up but when I walk around EV/LES it sometimes feels like I see more 2-3 story buildings than otherwise. There's literally no reason any of these buildings should be under 6 stories minimum. People think of Manhattan as being dense with a bunch of skyscrapers but I suspect in reality there's still a whole lot of units that could be added by simply building upwards.

I say 6 stories because you can reasonably have a 6-story walkup. Anything higher and you would need to add an elevator which could make things harder.
Is anyone aware of a decent reference comparing say Alma and Rocky?

I imagine the 'product' is essentially the same, but policies or procedures may differ - and these can be significant! It's what draws me to the Fedora project so much.

> of a game focused on selling microtransactions.

Or a game that is engaging and doesn’t fall into the trap of making the player non-productively frustrated or bored.

It’s really hard for me to play video games at all because of my ADHD and so I feel it so hard when games fail to get this right because it makes them basically unplayable; I can’t “power through” the luls.

Games like Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Slay the Spire, Binding of Issac, Don’t Starve all are A++ because they either have tight game loops with lots of variety or they make it so the player always always has something meaningful to do.
> You need to include Newark, Yonkers, Long Island, etc if you want to compare those figures.

That's just not an accurate comparison.

Live in NYC. Lived in Japan. The difference is transit. It is far easier to get to Saitama or Kawasaki or Yokohama or Chiba than it is to get to Long Island from NYC. You can do the former in an hour at rush hour. Try getting to downtown Manhattan from Bay Shore as a daily commute. You'll go mad.

Here's Tokyo and New York at the same zoom level:

Tokyo: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.736739,139.6246444,10z

NYC: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7983574,-73.948053,10z

The gray area of Tokyo on that map is pretty much all considered an exurb of Tokyo, more-or-less feasible for daily commute by rail. Most of the NYC region is inaccessible from Manhattan, except by car. Look at the Seibu Shinjuku line, or the Chuo line on the Tokyo map -- both offer express trains that will take you from the distant western exurbs, right into the middle of downtown Tokyo:

"Less politically correct"? He called his own customers "fucking idiots" for not liking what he's selling. It reminds me of impotent men who blame feminism for their lack of a sex life, it's ridiculous. Perhaps you meant "irreverent," which is a more apt description.
Same here. Trying to type anything on that thing (especially copying the code out of magazines) was just horrible.

Edit: just remembered something that made it even worse than just the awful keys - all reserved words for BASIC were tokenized in some way where you had to use a control-key sequence to tell it PRINT, for instance, instead of being able to type P,R,I,N,T <enter>.
Honestly, all I am hearing is whining.

There are so many ways to transport material up. Miners transport ROCKS, upwards, from kilometers beneath Earth surface. They then crush those rocks into fine powder to extract tiny specks of gold from it. Magic? I don't think so.

So you chose a wrong tool for the job and are blaming corn?

You moved from a lab to "real world" and are surprised it is not all nice, uniform and spherical?

I love history of ASML. These guys faced a problem after a problem after a problem for like a decade just to get one process that everybody thought is impossible. Didn't give up. Didn't complain. Just focus on solving it.
I can’t believe people are talking about a thing, when clearly there also exists another thing!
> There will soon be a market for pre-microtransactions games.

It's already too late to get into the hobby of collecting retro games/hardware. eBay prices have been shooting upwards for a good few years already.

Thankfully, the classics are well-preserved via emulation (and in some cases, FPGA recreations of older hardware). But there's an ever-increasing number of games that simply aren't able to be preserved due having no access to server-side components, and many others lost from the early days of mobile gaming (e.g. 32-bit iOS games from before F2P took over), with no way to run them on modern hardware and no emulation solutions yet, even if the games themselves have survived somewhere.
Here's a Google street view of a wind farm in Chatham-Kent:

Where do you live? I'm just curious because I can't imagine living at 78F anymore.
> ...how to do things that are not financially viable.

I don't disagree with you, but if we go that route I have a pretty good idea what that will look like:

1. Wealthy people invest in carbon capture schemes like this.

2. Once there is sufficient wealth invested in #1, they've essentially created a solution looking for a market.

3. What does this mean? It is time to market the shit out of whatever existential problem your solution claims to solve. Market with fear, make solving this "problem" part of the national agenda. Get the hysteria to the point of: "We need to solve this AT ANY COST!" Oppose the approved messaging and you're an idiot, luddite or terrible person.

4. Combine the political will you are creating in #3 with aggressive lobbying for credit programs that make life more expensive for regular people and don't really accomplish anything. Conveniently, the new programs make the group in #1 even more wealthy.
Entirely understandable, and a major driver in my transition from industrial automation to web software (though industrial hardware work is so rewarding!).
> How does Godot compare? Are highly threaded features out of the box?

Ish. But Godot very much embraces OO. Everything is a node extending another node with messages passed between. But IMO it's OO done right.
That doesn't help much if the cost of bread is more than $250,000
Companies might also be reluctant to talk about the problems they're having, for PR reasons (from personal experience!)

And yeah, it's absolutely a shame. I would similarly love to hear about more big engineering issues and subsequent solutions, even if they're fairly dumb issues.
Why should I use this over, say, Ubuntu or Linux Mint? What’s the unique selling point? And what’s the target audience besides Linux enthusiasts who still distrohop?
Yeah, the Bay Area is probably the one other place in the US that has comparable higher-ed quantity and quality to the Boston area/Massachusetts. Other good institutions are scattered around of course but they're more diffuse.

I think that there's a tendency on the part of a lot of people to view "tech" through the lens of web-related tech but obviously there's a lot more interesting/important work going on than just that--whether in the Boston area, Silicon Valley, or somewhere else.
Let me guess, you lived in a modern high rise apartment/condo? I've lived here for more than 10 years and have personally witnessed more crime in the past 2 years than I had ever seen before.

No one is "manufacturing" this. There's a reason the DA was recalled, and it's not because SF residents were "tricked by Republicans".

Police are of course part of this, but are prosecutors, and lawmakers.

You can be pedantic and say there's no "crime wave", but there is absolutely a discernible increase in crime.
Sorry, I wasn't referring to you. When Dart came out in 2012 it was a big improvement on JavaScript, but some Google exec said the goal was to replace JavaScript, which was incorrect, so that community has been down on Dart ever since. It's kind of remarkable to me how sticky this Dart hate is even 10 years later. It's unreasonable, and like you, it makes me sad because working with the DOM in Dart is even nicer than jQuery to me.
Hm, thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

Well, OpenAI are certainly trying to sell copilot as more capable than it is, or anyway they haven't done much to explain the limitations of their systems. But they're not alone in that. I can't think of many companies with a product they sell that tell you how you _can't_ use it.

Not to excuse misleading advertisment. On the contrary.
Like, "Bob? What do you think of this? Would you ever use it?"

It's actually kind of obnoxious to call on people like that. Even if it may seem like a "leadership thing" -- which may explain why it seems such a favored technique among wannabe alpha manger types.

I'm with the parent commenter: if people are in the flow (and give a shit), they'll definitely have something say (and your difficulty will be in getting them to keep it short). If they're not, and you're getting crickets -- it points to a deeper problem. That cannot be solved by, in effect, throwing chalk at people to get them to speak up.
People who don't want to use the results of decades of scientific research to psychologically abuse mindless morons into giving them money are fucking idiots.

Okay. Well, he's probably not wrong, but I'd rather be a fucking idiot than taking advantage of so many people.
"Nothing is stopping anyone from downloading an executable file and running it on a desktop computer." Have you ever had a job? If you're in a workplace you probably don't have admin rights to install software on your desktop unless you are a dev, and even then it's not exactly guaranteed.
There is an ECS port for Godot named Godex, but it isn't hugely mature:

https://github.com/GodotECS/godex

I haven't used it, though I've been curious about it. As far as better options for ECS game engines go, I'd go with Bevy (personally), but you'll have to learn Rust (which I'm a proponent of anyway).

https://bevyengine.org/learn/book/introduction/

But both of these are still in "Beta", if that's even the proper term for their development cycle, at this point. They work, technically, but they could use some help, to my understanding.
Except that it's not. I can be reasonably sure that my C compiler will generate correct machine code if my C code is correct. I can also treat the generated machine code as a build artifact which can be thrown away and re-generated on demand; I can treat my C code as my only source of truth. None of these things are true for Copilot, you need to keep around and maintain the generated code, and you can't just assume that the generated code is correct if your input is correct.
Let’s take the security aspect one step farther: could a bad actor introduce popular code into copilot, which is full of subtle back-doors? Asking for a befriended state actor.
No, unless you're only doing it to one person or being a jerk about it.

ABBYY has been much better than anything else due to its abilities to fine tune layout, recognition, and export parameters. I follow threads like this, always looking for the latest and greatest, but nothing else is worth the time for a smaller organization. We scan several languages. If you are English only, I can't answer about recognition since I don't look. But layout and export are mission critical, and worth a few hundred bucks if you can afford it.
Yes, each thread produced several words.
I'm a strategic thinker. I have been, almost my entire career. I write software that lasts decades, and have authored systems that took ten years to mature.

The issue is that I have almost never been allowed to express, communicate, or implement my strategies.

"Strategic thinking" is an ego thing. Only "big bosses" are "allowed" to "think strategically." If those of us, down in the trenches, "dare" to think strategically, we're being "uppity."

What a nightmare. At my last company, I foresaw the problems that eventually resulted in the company falling down (and my team being made redundant), at least a decade in advance. I remember being called a "Cassandra," and also being told that it "wasn't specific enough."

For example, when the iPhone first came out, I borrowed one of my employees' new iPhone, and took it up to Marketing. I said "This is gonna be trouble."

I was laughed out of the office.

Ten years later, the company's business was in shambles; almost entirely because smartphones ate their lunch. I remember hearing people whining about "How could we have foreseen this?"

These days, I write software on my own. I don't have anyone telling me "Go away kid, yer bodderin' me."

It's been working well.
