> Does anyone know what the move / copy semantics are in Carbon? I can't figure it out from the docs (admittedly I have not looked hard at all).

I read the documentation and had the very same question. My notes from the announcement thread had this line in it:

> * Not clear from the main design document is how the distinction--if any--between trivial/nontrivial copy/move types work. There appears to be an explicit move operator (with obvious syntax ~x), so support for nontrivial move or immovable is better than Rust already, but the avoidance of a NRVO setup still makes me wonder what the actual story is here.

Given that Carbon copies the signed-no-overflow/unsigned-may-overflow distinction from C/C++, it wouldn't surprise me if they also copy the move/copy rules from C++, as those are both rather fundamentally baked into C++ (which means you have to deal with it for automatic translation), even if they are pretty objectively confusing.
Agreed! P2P Comms + P2P Payments completes the digital revolution in publishing! That being said, I hope they open source the platform and the community introduces many payment options - including more traditional CC processing. Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle integrations would be insane!
Mass pm2.5 and pm10 emissions per vehicle-km.
I'm torn about this. One one hand, the slippery slope of this is car microtransactions, so the pushback is very much needed and understandable. People had to vote with their wallet until manufacturers gave up on charging subscriptions for Apple Carplay/Android Auto.

On the other hand, the use case BMW is presenting is actually quite reasonable: making car extras available to second hand buyers (and presumably, making their pipeline more effective and flexible so they don't have to customize cars at build time). I'd be thrilled if I bought a used car without heated seats and was able to "add" heated seats and other upgrades on the spot, by paying one-time fees for the extras that the original owner didn't purchase. Car extras are already very much a thing and always have been – the alternative is that BMW physically has to remove the heater components or disable them permanently, so as a second hand buyer, I'd be permanently locked out of the upgrade. Forcing the car maker to have to physically neuter the hardware out of "purity" strikes be as something a bit silly.
The official webisite (https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang) goes into better detail, but the gist is that you can basically #include C++ libraries and use their APIs as-is, without needing to resort to unsafe blocks or having to write more idiomatic wrappers.
Looks great!

Couldn't help noticing the video appears to show the demo car also has 4WS with rear wheels also steering

ZF's own page about this has a bunch more info https://www.zf.com/products/en/cars/stories/maneuverable.htm...

Their page also contradicts the Interesting Engineering where it said:

"The system further requires an unusually large amount of space in the wheel wells to get that kind of angle, one that can only be achieved in front-wheel drive vehicles."

The ZF page states the opposite:

"EasyTurn is suitable for vehicles with rear-wheel drive, the usual setup in electric cars. And it is ideally suited for volume segments because the MacPherson axle is compatible with around 80 percent of today's common platforms"
The thymus comes to mind as a factor. As we age, the thymus shrinks. Children have a larger thymus which aids in combating viruses. Perhaps if these children had been exposed earlier, no hepatitis would have occurred.

I'd like to see if these cases would have occurred anyway in the preceding years. It may be that cases that were normally(hypothetical numbers for example purposes only) 1/1000 before lockdown went to 1/10,000 during, and after, went to 1/100. Taking the average over a 10 year period, this may be totally expected and not too concerning. If this is true my first point is incorrect.
I also said

> and which would be my favorite machine if I could upgrade the CPU.

Which means "if I could spend some money to upgrade the CPU, it would go from okay for light use to good for all uses, and that would be a good deal since I love everything about the machine other than the slow processor".

Regarding your other points - yes, upgrading the CPU in isolation might be impractical. On the other hand, I like the chassis enough that I've already thought about replacing the whole mainboard with a Pi based version, so swapping in a NUC is still pretty reasonable sounding.
Near the end of the article:

> As impressive as the video is, there is no word whether this product is ready for market or not.
It comes down to if we're buying products that we own and then can make any repairs or modifications that we want to with them or if we're merely licensing the product.
Huh, I always thought they did that because someone (mistakenly) thought it looked cool. The extreme camber actually does help with a measurable aspect of handling?
How the BBC is rolling out HSTS for better security and performance
> Trying to pretend machine learning and Bitcoin are of equal uselessness is dishonest.

As soon as that deep learning or machine learning model gets confused or attacked with erroneous / junk input, garbage noise or performs badly on new data, that model is useless. What do you do next? More training, re-training, fine tuning? That problem is unavoidable and evergreen.

The end result is the same and either way, that is used for surveillance, spyware on user data which not only that is a waste of energy, CO2 and time, that is worse for both for society and the planet and the methods to improve these models have been known to be inefficient and have not changed for 10+ years and always require tons of data centers. On that, Bitcoin is the same with mining. There is no benefit or useful improvement for it in the current system for payments (it's original intended purpose) and it also burns up the planet with PoW.

No idea why you had to deliberately ignore deep learning as that is also part of the planet incinerating problem.
What do you mean by upside-down ratio?
I'd rather have 2nd-order effects from lockdown than 1st order effects from the 'rona. So would all those that died or ended up with long term effects from contracting the disease.

I mean I disliked the lockdown as much as the next guy, but I would've wanted them to be harsher early on so the disease wouldn't have been allowed to spread and mutate in the first place. Instead, we got SOME measures, that proved to be effective, only for them to be lifted when the disease was nearly gone - every time they lifted restrictions there's been a huge surge in cases, undoing the effects of the measures, and making those who were in favor and sticking to the measures really jaded with the governments' policies.

It's like, you're not supposed to stop an antibiotics treatment when you're feeling better.
That's cool.

However (there's always a fly in the ointment), we'd need to see how robust it is (front axles take a real beating), and how expensive it is to equip and maintain.
Sentinel values are too often found in real data eventually, which is why they're most often used in academic environments, and by fresh grads. First or second time the sentinel value that could never possibly be found in real data is found in real data, you start looking for other solutions.
NFL launches subscription streaming service
This is just simply not true for most tech workers, especially here in California. I'd argue most companies have moved to "unlimited PTO" so that workers are not accruing vacation. Businesses no longer want to have millions of dollars outstanding on their books when it comes to vacation time. I've worked for two Fortune 15 companies, done an IPO, and have consulted with all the big names in the valley, no one is clocking in or filling out time sheets, in fact doing so would put the employer in a precarious/legal situation.

Maybe it's different elsewhere, but where all the tech companies are, it just doesn't work the way you're describing it. If you're being forced to punch a timecard and salaried, I would contact an attorney.
Yep, it's the replacement for AX. I can't say I love working in it, but the clients are massive and as such, it can be a rewarding financial choice. The tooling is poor and the APIs are a bit difficult but it's made for some fun workarounds :)
Side remark maybe, but I prefer "benevolence" over "humanity" in this context.

The former is (1) less etymologically confusing (ekhem...) and (2) applicable to other species.
I'm tired of restaurants I like closing due to lack of staffing. If this is what it takes to keep them open through this labor shortage, then I'm more than willing to put up with its downsides.
> And Mr. Bankman-Fried’s various entities, along with Cari Tuna and others, have put up about $19 million for a future California ballot measure, the California Pandemic Early Detection and Prevention Act, which would add a 0.75% tax on incomes over $5 million to raise up to $15 billion over 10 years. Catch that? Someone else pays. Effective, but not exactly selfless.

> It’s the classic progressive playbook: Raise taxes to fund their pet projects but not yours or mine. I don’t care if altruists spend their own money trying to prevent future risks from robot invasions or green nanotech goo, but they should stop asking American taxpayers to waste money on their quirky concerns.

I hoped that after Covid, pandemic preparedness would stop being seen as a "quirky concern", but it seems like we are incapable of learning from our mistakes.
That's not how big-O works.
Not strictly a programming trick, but when something breaks I do this mentally:

1. Don't change anything.

2. Ask myself what do I know.

3. Ask myself why do I think I know (2).

4. Ask myself what to do next.

The step 3 is really the big one.
It's odd to see conservatives: (1) pick up the "considered harmful" meme and (2) get so indignant about something private enterprise does. (Of course now "conservatism" is all about having a good sense of the little resentments of everyday life... If it wasn't for those "press 1 to hear this in Spanish" messages the U.S. would be run by Leon Trotsky, Che Geuvera and Nancy Pelosi right now)

For that matter I'm a little amused that it took a year and a half for this to become a populist issue.

What really annoys me is the situation of scanning QR codes on Android because it's hard to give people instructions to download a QR code reader. You can't just tell them to scan this QR code. You have to tell them to go to Google Play, and any search for a QR reader creates results that look like

(1) SCAM
(2) SCAM SCAM
(3) SUPER SCAM
(4) GREAT SCAM OF 2019
(5) SCAM 2023 SCAM

and so forth. It's an unholy marriage of phone maker's and carriers "don't give a damn" attitude and Google's dependence on the scamvertising model.
I love the idea behind effective altruism, and it definitely has some merit. But unfortunately many of it's proponents are hopelessly naive about what is actually effective, often falling prey to the trap of believing only what is measurable has value, and that is possible to measure the effect of actions taken in complex situations via mere statistical analysis.

This does gradually seem to be improving over time so I have hope for the future, but for now it's a movement worth engaging with, but with a massive pinch of salt rather than swallowing their claims wholesale.
My understanding is that USDA grass-fed labelling is dubious at best since late 2016. You need to look at trusted 3rd party labels, looking for grass fed, grain finished, or grass finished to get a sense of what was actually fed. Most cows will eat grass at some point in their lives (especially as calfs, from what I've read).

One trouble too is that grass fed NEVER strictly means pastured, and in fact, it rarely does. It can even mean they've been fed grass-based feed, which isn't whole grass but a processed feed containing grass. This is a feed that might be implemented in a feed lot, for example.

That's the next issue. When consumers think of grass fed, they imagine open fields, space, etc. No, this is not how it works; grass is still used in feed lots, and the vast majority of beef in North America comes from feed lots (recent figures indicate 95% or more). Depending on the country and farm, animals may spend the beginning of their lives with pastures, but many don't. They may then spend anywhere from a couple months to over half a year in a feed lot for finishing. These conditions are absolutely brutal, and not worth supporting in my opinion. The externalities of feed lots are absolutely absurd.

> It's still a tremendous amount of grain.

Up to 10lb per day, apparently. Imagine, in a week you could have roughly ten pounds each of 7 nutritious grains and legumes saved for a human being to eat. Lentils, peas, millet, wheat, oats, etc. That would go really far for a human being, and actually provide a lot of nutrition as whole foods. Somehow we've meandered so far from that kind of diet, but science backs it up in spades: we should be eating those things instead of using that land for feeding soy and corn to cattle.
I've been told that's NIMBYism, so any Mexicans forced to move are actually the oppressors.
Housing isn't finite, if Americans are willing to spend money to increase the value of Mexican housing, Mexican builders/government can build more housing to take advantage of the increased demand. I don't see much reason why any country would need to ban foreign investment, especially when supply is artificially constrained by unjustifiable regulation (true of western US and Canada, no idea if true of Mexico)
> Really glad I moved out of my “pro lockdown” state.

I haven't.

This issue affected 1000 thousand people in 35 countries. Did anyone die from this?

Covid on the other hand has killed 6 MILLION. Covid could've been solved in 1 month if everyone would just stay home for 1 month. Unfortunately, because of people like you spread noise, we're still stuck with this for the foreseeable future.

In addition, let me just comment how mathematically stupid it is to take the 1st order effects just because you're worried about the 2nd order effects.
You mean the traditional World Data Bank example that we got to see at each F# conference with little relevance for .NET shops?

There are so many things that can be called a "clever trick" that it makes no sense to say that you should not use clever tricks.

Like, one thing that can be called a clever trick is to align the code vertically to make it easier to edit using vertical selections and macros in a text editor. That can actually make the code more readable and maintainable.
Sorry to hear that you need to leave your country. It's never easy. I left Italy in 2008, in search for opportunities (AWS), then left the US in 2020, back to Italy.

What made you leave Berlin, if you don't mind sharing a bit more?

Finding the right place is always a compromise. E.g. :

1) quality of schools for your son (eventually; he's still super young)

2) VISA, how easy it is to get a permanent resident, and/or citizenship

3) Island close to the equator: the weather is usually not that great (source: lived in Singapore, an island close to the equator, for 2.5 years). But picking the right "type" of place is important, and I suggest you take a 1-month long vacation in 2-3 places, if you can afford it, to "test" it and see if you like it.

Still on this point, I think that most "north Europeans" enjoy the mediterranean area (Portugal, Spain, Italy, or even Greece). Have you tried it out?

2 Years of Covid-19 on Gov.uk
I've already seen some Unity expats in a game dev discord I'm part of, starting to pick up Godot. It's not just the ironSource merge, the CEO has made their focus ad-tech and monetization, whilst the game engine itself is still grappling with split focus issues and playing catch-up with Unreal. It's hard not to see that as a creative indie-dev and conclude that you're probably not the target market for the engine anymore.

Bitcoin NFTs (Ordinal Theory)
Casey Rodarmor has been working on a numbering scheme for satoshis that allows tracking and transferring individual sats. These numbers are called ordinals. Satoshis are numbered in the order in which they're mined, and transferred from transaction inputs to transaction outputs in first-in-first-out order.

Ordinals don't require a separate token, another blockchain, or any changes to Bitcoin. They work right now.

there is no one reason why we dont have basements, but it is more likely to do with the fact that up north they have to dig deep (3-4 ft) for the frost line. If you are digging that deep anyway, you might as well go an additional 4-5 ft and build a basement.

Excavating limestone isnt that hard. Instead of one day to dig a basement in soil, it would take about 14 days to dig a typical basement in limestone (based on digging pools in limestone). It costs about 1500/day for the crew/equipment so an extra 21K for the excavation.

East austin has no limestone and basements are still rare.
Yeah I love this pattern. I'm using it for the data loading for my search engine. Instead of having the code that processes website data insert the data into the database and index directly, it essentially writes a program to a file, which is interpreted later to actually create the desired effects.

Means I can just grab some random subset of the search engine index, copy it over to my workstation, and load it up over there. It's also amazing for testing and inspection.
Wear is inversely related to speed because the wear comes from acceleration, not from rolling at a steady speed. Starting and stopping and turning in urban driving wears tires more than cruising down a motorway.

I work with most of the OEMs and “update to newer chips” is not something they are doing.

Tesla was effected by the shortage as well even though they expressed willingness to use whatever chip design they could get their hands on.

I don’t think your summary is accurate. I could be wrong but my first hand experience tells me the exact opposite.
> On a laptop from 2008, you won't have USB 3.0, 5ghz wifi, support for 16GB DIMM's (and maybe not even 8GB).

It's modular. No USB 3.0, true, but WiFi should be doable by replacing that card, and at least mine has 8GB of RAM (which, granted, is more than the manufacturer specifically supports and is actually the maximum that machine can handle).
True - there's still value in these types of comparison, although the click-baity "C++ vs Python" title rather detracts from that.

I'm not sure how much value there is in this specific benchmark though since in the real world you'd be using a utility to do this (e.g. linux wc - word count) and it's not obvious what's dominating the runtime (I'd guess reading file and/or splitting into words), so what you're takeaway should be (idiomatic X is good for what, exactly?) if wanting to extrapolate this to some other task.

For that matter, in the real world people don't really choose language on a task specific basis... It's either use language X because the project demands it, or write some limited use utility in a scripting language if performance isn't a major concern.
