The performance really is astonishing in many areas now.

The part that keeps me hooked is the fact that I can stand up something capable of producing those numbers in 30 lines of code using 1st party dependencies only. I can then have a full prototype to demo by late afternoon, again having antagonized over exactly zero 3rd parties.

For me, the performance numbers aren’t just about speed while in production. It’s also about speed to production. Having the confidence that it’s almost certainly going to be fast enough by default keeps me from worrying about optimizing random bullshit throughout.

I still haven’t seen anything that comes remotely close to the combination of speed and stability offered here. I do some pretty nasty things with the runtime and it just copes. GC seems like pure magic now too. I continue to avoid things like LOH allocations with streams, but I don’t worry about it like I used to in the 4.x days.
It is not discontinued, it is regularly updated, and all the interesting parts are coming straight out of the compiler project (Roslyn) which will be the source for all future alternative extensions. Surely, they have different interest and do not put too much money into OmniSharp.

Do I like that some part of the stack is closed source (like the debugger and in future the extension host): No! Does it lead to a broken or discontinued future: No!

Compared to my experiences with PHP, Java and JavaScript, C# on Linux is just fine.
Yes, I think "ban private jets" means turboprops are okay.

Just because someone wants to ban the private ownership of machine guns doesn't mean they want to ban all gun ownership. Someone wanting to have a minimum drinking age might not want to ban all drinking.

> only it's much more inefficient and noisy (it also flies lower and slower).

https://www.evojets.com/aircraft-sales/turboprops/piaggio-av... says the Piaggio Avanti burns 130 gal/hr. The linked-to Vice article says "A common model of a private plane burns 226 gallons of jet fuel an hour on average."

Doesn't "lower and slower" (and with less range) mean that more people are likely to fly first class rather than biz jet?

> This is like trying to move an ocean with a bucket.

Addressed in the article. "Huber says the impracticality of it happening misses the point. To him, arguing for the banishment of private jets is a powerful symbolic issue, something the political Right has already figured out."

> Regulators have given up

Personally, global wealth tax and extremely high tax on high yearly earnings would solve much of those issues. It would decrease the opportunity and pay for regulatory oversight.

But your question was "What's your limit?", and I think that's well answered in the linked-to article.
for coding, i think https://www.youtube.com/c/DigiDigger - DigiDigger - has some good videos on how certain games implement their "thing" - like how portals are implemented in the game Portal.
Unfortunately, the videos are for entertainment mostly, and a bit lacking on the details, so only good enough to get the idea across.
> What draws people to start projects with AVR in 2022?

It's much easier to learn how to do simple things with an AVR than with an ARM. For example, you can configure a timer to blink an LED with just four relatively simple lines of C on an AVR-based Arduino Uno, whereas it takes 11 lines of C on an ARM-based Arduino Zero:

This is why when leading an engineering org I narrowed down to one metric:

Committed to Completed Ratio

It encourages completing things and only committing to what you can complete.

It's legible, easy to understand by engineering, product, and management, pointless to game, and positively reinforces completion. It's quite difficult to accurately predict when a complete feature will ship, let alone a whole product. But, if one breaks down a feature into its legible constituent components and then commits to completing just what is within that (which also necessitates any required communication to arrive at understanding the requirements) then over time you can get quite good at predicting what you will be able to get done in a sprint and better at only committing to what you believe you can actually complete.
They probably have a team of people who precisely designed that wobble, not that they forgot
Microsoft did this when I signed up to play Halo Infinite. I had a few hours of play time doing nothing at all suspicious and deleted the game rather than give them my phone number.
How do we know they didn't follow the diet because they didn't come from the same area?

Maybe they were special otherwise? Super stars? I.e. this may well be coincidence.
At a sample size of two any conclusion is a tad hard to support.

Yup, stacks are wonderful for new features. Typically I run a stack of 5 for new features.

First one is the API/interface with null implementations. Then subsequent ones each implement a method with associated tests

And it includes an excellent debugger.
On average yes but that average hides wide disparities. Republicans have only 10% trust but democrats have much higher rates, independents are in the middle.
You are missing the point. Look at the iPhone tests of last few years…
Isn’t unfair to not count the runtime code size too for interpreted languages? Because for the compiled ones, they include all the necessary runtime in the executable.
> I’m not sure where there is a large demand for natural light amongst people who both can’t get it otherwise and are in a position to do something about it.

Owners of old houses, particularly in inner urban areas. Lots of old houses had small windows, to keep heat in. Or have been overshadowed by taller buildings being built nearby. Or both.

Source: am one.

> think the problem then is “how do I design around/with this product.” Designers and builders roughly know how to use existing lighting products. How do you utilize this artificial sunlight product in your lighting design. Those wall mounted led windows look cool, but I’d be super annoyed if my desk were facing them. The fresnel lens looks nice in that accent position, but if it got in people’s eyes or strained them it’s a problem.

I'm imagining the market is people improving an existing room, perhaps even renters. So, designers and builders wouldn't really come into it.
If this was the case, we could just build the cookie consent mechanism into browsers
Releasing is great. Unused work is quite sad.

A big condition for motivation though is if people are not pressured to rush features.

Being in a rush does not work long term and not being happy with the quality of the work done is very demotivating and impairs the sense of meaning. Micromanagement too.

Personally, the two week sprints and daily stand-ups did this to me in my previous job, but I can see they could be a source of motivation for others. So, how work is organized and managed is really important too and depends on the people in the team.
While your memory might be great now, it won't be so forever. Serendipity might not happen as often as you would like, and "important things" may not be all you want to remember.

I'm sure your parents or someone from their generation have actual, physical photo albums from their past - and that the experience of browsing through these photos brings back things that they haven't necessarily _forgotten_ about, but that they wouldn't have brought into active memory unless they were browsing through them.

Over the years I have experienced and built many things that I do not deem "important" to me, yet when I see them mentioned (even in writings by myself), it takes me back to that point in time - all the feelings, learning and discoveries that it brought to life.

An example is scrolling through a list of my repositories on GitHub. Some of the projects on there I have "forgotten" about, but with the mention of it I am instantly brought back and remember a whole lot more details - motivations, feelings, the ecosystem...

For me, filesystem I/O always ends up being significantly slower from inside docker containers.

Is there something obvious I may be doing wrong or some resources I should read about this?

It’s been a major issue for me. It seems to happen regardless of whether I’m using Docker Volumes or not.
I use vscode on Linux without any problems. Can debug and do all I need to do without any problems. Omnisharp may not be perfect but it works. It will be interesting to see what is going to replace it but short of the closed source concerns I’m fairly sure it will still work.
I want one, but I really want to just buy it off the shelf. A lot of other projects taking my time and attention currently.
It's a pity the author doesn't mention F#.
Well in that case I might be wrong.

Considering waifu2x is the name of an algorithm I assumed it was just that algorithm. There's also no mention of other models on the demo page or the Github page as far as I can see.

> Depends, if a person is really abusing a child which unfortunately happens more frequently than we all want to believe

How frequently does it happen?
think of it this way. When I say

git branch ..., I'm creating a new branch pointer that points to a commit and any future commit will update that branch pointer (not the original).

if I then add a new commit to the original branch, I'll update its branch pointer.

if I do then do a git rebase -i original_branch (on new branch), (I believe) git will look for the common ancestor commit, update the head to original_branch's current id, and then apply individual every commit id from that common ancestor to the head of my what was my new branch.

if I just add a commit to original branch, this is "clean" (i.e. i might have lots of conflicts, but it makes sense, its just effectively inserting a new commit into the middle of the commit stream). However, if I have rebased the original branch, such that common ancestor isn't where it used to be, but much further back in time), it no longer makes sense.

What I was proposing (and what I could do manually), is when i rebase against the proposed type of branch, then we essentially, move the head to the current head of the updated "old branch" and then cherry-pick one by one each commit i made against the new branch (fixing merge errors along the way, just like with rebase).

is this a bit clearer?

That doesn't solve the problem of wanting to work or do other indoor activities in "natural light".
And many people would rather not own one.

But only the latter group is having that choice made for them and then having their tax money spent on infrastructure designed to burden them with car ownership.
You've misrepresented their point three times now, that's enough don't you think.

Well that is one way of achieving it, the other being killing the local population and get more settlers.
In many built up areas that's very difficult, due to planning regulations.

Why do people feel they are absoultely entitled to having best-in-class IDEs for free? Don't the developers of those IDEs have the right to, you know, eat?

ALso, JetBrains' IDEs are:

- free for students, startups and opensource projects

- cost an insane "two/three beers a month" for individual licenses (yeah, it's more expensive than two beers in many countries, but as a developer I could easily afford it even in the shithole that is Moldova)
>One thing to note is that the most important benefits of sunlight

That's taking a very narrow view of what "benefits" exist. You don't need UV for the general pleasant feeling of good light.
They invest in new construction and hire management companies to rent out houses. I would argue that spending money to acquire a new house is “buying a house.”
Long distance synchronous AC transmission or HVDC transmission is pretty efficient - enough to overcome the inherent land pricing differential.

Many people, yes depending on how you define many. But majority or them? No.

But, no, in general people in the past believed their own religions. We are atheists culture and large atheist traditions at this point, we have hard time imagine it.
We had the some learning and decided to go down the path "Use docker for running, not building". That's why we decided to build https://bob.build on top of the nix package-manager. This allows reproducible builds on your system without touching docker.

Yes, the goal is to get light. And since these lights only use 1500W, you can plug them into an ordinary house electrical outlet in the US.

> When optimizing this, the first thing to do is compile with optimizations enabled (g++ -O2). I kind of like the fact that with Go you don’t have to worry about this – optimizations are always on.

I think it is more fair to say that in Go optimizations are always OFF.
I only ever took econ 101, so forgive me if I'm missing a subtle point...

Isn't saying that there exists a *shortage* of demand the same as saying that there is available supply but no one is willing to buy at the current price? Thus, by definition, there cannot be a shortage of demand if all units are being purchased at the current price?
Don't people start to go, "oh, we're definitely going to do this, we just haven't committed yet"?
Im not convinced. The Chinese communist party celebrates itself for its resistance against the japanese all the time, when one reads the history though, it gets obvious that the brute of the fighting was done by the nationalists and the communists then only performed a cleanup operation, engaging in no major battles.

These rewritten heroic-historys are largely worthless.
Tool chain is very decent, doesn’t require any vendor IDE crap, the data sheets have less bugs that STM32 and PIC, they are easy to work with, have a decent set of peripherals and there’s a hell of a lot of info out there.

The killer though? Very very long part supply lifetime. STM32 parts disappear all the time and have months of lead time.

Oh and they are second sourced now with some caveats.

Extremely interesting to see how the CIA works, in 1949 they didn't have to be as believable as now - it's obviously a smear job in how it tries to paint him as a murderer and lowly thief only out to get money. It's no wonder it has been discredited.

I think they are exactly seeing this and acting on it. IMHO they will start offering on VS Code a basic free product (a stable omnisharp equivalent) good enough for coding, debugging, etc. and then pricy options like visual designers, intellitrace, AI-guided coding, hot reload, etc. IMHO they will do the same for Python, PHP and others.

They head of the dev division needs to protect the revenue. Simple as that.

However, I completely agree with your sentiment: "Microsoft doesn't see what's good for them" ... because "free" is not "open source" and trust does not come from "free" but from "open source".
Way more plausible is that Thomas the Tank Engine was drawn based on how real world trained looked like.

House loan interest, pension funds, life insurance, etc. are also eligible for claiming benefits. Other than these, we can make NGO donations, charities, or donate to any other registered charitable organizations. Even online donations to NGOs and other charity organizations are eligible for tax benefits. Proper proof of these investments must be provided when required.

DeepLearning.AI's Specialization Notes

And please stop this fake reality bullshit. NOBODY, not a single freaking person who wants to learn a new language will start off by searching the internet for an IDE and debugger where they can apply for a free license and then wait a few days so they can try it out. That is just ridiculous to even suggest.

If one wants to learn a language they download the SDK, open VS Code and look for an extension. If there is none or the one that exists doesn't work they basically say "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT", close it and walk away with the conclusion that it's not well supported. Let's stay real please okay.

That's it! Thanks!

Recent videos? I haven't watched it in a while. But looking now, I immediately found an example, because the problems are always with the history. In the video below [1], the guy absolutely mangles the story of the byte and why it's 8 bits long. He turns what was a fuckup in the launch of the System/360, into some urban legend of IBM's technical superiority and vision.

"IBM said, 'Let's be brave! 8 bit characters!'"

FFS, no. IBM said (in summary), "Crap, we really wanted to use 7 bit ASCII - an evolution of the 6 bit teleprinter code, since we're on the federal standards committee, but ASCII peripherals won't be ready in time for the System/360 launch, so uh, let's use this 8 bit extension to our old 6 bit punch cards instead and wing it." It turned out to be a massive blunder. [2]

The System/360 still succeeded and its success meant a bunch of software was written for it, which all assumed an 8 bit byte, competitors copied IBM, and the rest of the market followed, but it took a decade or so. There's lots of fun stuff in the actual story - including the rich history of today's character standards which goes all the way back to the telegraph - to summarize without making things up.
