Rust is closer to the the type of languages we need to move to but Carbon makes it easier to port away from existing C++ software. If it's a new project, use Rust if you can. Use Carbon if you need to deal with C++. Rust can interoperate with C++ but with more difficulty.
I’m not sure what insinuation you’re trying to make by saying that Sweden’s request to join NATO is ”haphazard”, but I’m pretty certain I don’t like it.

SIM cards requiring registrations is a development in the direction towards less privacy, I’ll give you that.

Lastly, since when has it been optional to be folkbokförd in Sweden?
Same here, very very smart. It even gets typographic quotes right when nesting them (such as „The sign said ‚yes‘, clearly.“), keeps an eye on not jumping between tenses or different forms of addressing people („Du“ vs. „Sie“ in German).
Have you thought what would be needed and what would imply to have a kind of CI/CD pipeline for unit testing assertions on papers?
They do not inform you for a number of reasons, the most important of which is that they do not benefit from the information you think they should or could give you. And it could fire back.
Through this lens, it becomes much easier to interpret many of the "easy things to do" that do not occur in personal and professional relationships.

Think about online dating. You chat with someone, they seem interesting, but you notice something you hadn't paid enough attention to when you were too caught up in your earthly desires. Maybe they live 40 miles away from you, maybe they have bad teeth, maybe they could lose a few pounds.
You, an outspoken and, in your mind, generous person, decide to tell them that they are perfectly fine, but that you prefer someone a little taller than they are, or someone of lighter build, because you have always been active and you are not sure you can share your lifestyle with them.

You expect them to appreciate your candor and helpful cooking tips, but instead they tell you that you are a loser and don't know what you are missing out.

What happens then is that whenever you next feel you are losing interest in the person you are chatting with, you simply delete their profile: "Oh, well."

On the other hand, anyone with the slightest interest in food quality and variety would be absolutely horrified to be transported back and forced to do all their shopping in a 1970s US supermarket. Yes, near major cities, you had farmers markets, butchers, fish markets, bakers, etc. My mother would go to the nearby farmers market that had all those things every Saturday morning. But supermarkets were pretty limited by today's standards.
is there any way out if you find yourself stuck with a couple years of wrong experience?
Yes and no. The rate limiting can still be done server side. Reacting to events is simplest on the client, but if you were being a hard ass about it you could do something with correlationIDs. I think it depends on how much state history you want to retain on the server to map actions to outcomes.

Not a C++ programmer, but I'd like to ask: Are Carbon's goals for interop here sufficient for most libraries and frameworks, or will bridge code be required in most cases?

I see this about exceptions, for instance:

"Carbon may not provide seamless interoperability support for C++ exceptions. For example, translating C++ exceptions to or from Carbon errors might require annotations or bridge code, and those translations may have some performance overhead or lose information. Furthermore, if Carbon code calls a C++ function without suitable annotations or bridging, and that function exits with an exception, the program might terminate."

Many models have a pyro fuse in the battery pack high voltage hook-up that blows when the airbags deploy. Also common is that if the 12V battery is disabled, the high voltage pack is also disabled. And many models simply disconnect the high voltage pack when in park (or soon thereafter).

So while you're right that there's not a common standard, the common reality is that the packs aren't dangerous in a crash. Regulation could push this just a little further and mandate pyro fuses in pack hookups, which would reduce the probability of electrocution to first responders and occupants to basically zero, since nobody would try to cut through the floor of the vehicle in an extraction (where the pack cells are, and the most dangerous part when it comes to randomly cutting cross sections.)

Not sure I agree completely with that. These were simpler OSs for a simpler time. A lot of what I do today I accomplished in the 80s with an Apple II, a phone line, and a modem. I read emails (we didn’t call them that back then), wrote software, built databases, discussed esoteric topics in BBSs… Even met my first wife online over a Minitel-like system.

> And also we are likely entering into a recession which will also hit them.

This is a key insight. The Shopify powered shops I buy from are luxury expenditure. The small producers who make nice stuff at high prices. The last couple of months I've been buying significantly less from them as inflation has cut into disposable income and, where I need a product, buying a cheaper alternative from eBay or Amazon.

If others have been cutting back extra expenditure like I have, that's going to compound the post-pandemic online shopping slump.
This. Honestly, these arguments for plausible "you can't technically prove it" deniability defenses are bizarre and comical. Prosecutions are based on circumstantial evidence all the time, these aren't going to fool anyone. They're the nerd version of Trump's rando cures for covid like bright light and bleach.
Some of the most egregious issues turned out to be because people on Twitter were not disclosing that they were running a brand new Switch game in an emulator.

But even aside from that, I'd argue Godot probably had little to do with the quality of the port. There's ample evidence that you can make buggy games with any engine, and the Sonic franchise in particular seems to have a long running problem with SEGA pushing releases out half-baked.
You can create an Amazon account with a burner, fund it with a giftcard, and have the item shipped to an Amazon locker.
Google talking to Google is not a third party in any sense.

In general, businesses don't need to do business with you and can exercise relatively arbitrary judgment on this. It gets scary when we're talking about entities with significant market power just deciding to exclude you, though.
Reminds me of https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Oil_drop_experiment, famously described by Feynman,

> Millikan measured the charge on an electron by an experiment with falling oil drops, and got an answer which we now know not to be quite right. It's a little bit off because he had the incorrect value for the viscosity of air. It's interesting to look at the history of measurements of the charge of an electron, after Millikan. If you plot them as a function of time, you find that one is a little bit bigger than Millikan's, and the next one's a little bit bigger than that, and the next one's a little bit bigger than that, until finally they settle down to a number which is higher.
It's entirely possible for a GUI to be simple and consistent for all normal actions and also have non-obvious shortcuts for people who want to invest the time.

It's even better when the non-obvious shortcuts are documented and standardized so that you don't have to relearn them for each application.
For the sake of understanding the problem, any avatar marked as public can, or at least could (I can't say I've looked into this problem recently) be obtained in the following manner (DON'T do this, as it's still both a violation of the TOS and copyright infringement):

- Change into the avatar.

- Ask the VRChat API (backend) for information on yourself (this requires no special permissions).

- Use the link contained in the response JSON to download the avatar to your computer (it's how the official client obtains it, too)

- Unpack it with literally any Unity asset pack extractor, of which there are several. The asset pack is not secured in any way.

Note how mods are conspicuously absent from all of these steps.

I'm an avatar maker myself, and at this point my stance is that I can't be responsible for people stealing assets from me that I'm not allowed to redistribute, but I'm open to directly giving anyone anything I'm allowed to redistribute, and to teach them how to implement, download or purchase everything else. It's a load off my mind.
The plan is vegetation, but acid rain wins that fight.
Somewhere near 100% of my shipped bugs have been peer reviewed so that makes a lot of sense to me.
> Compare that to 45k ICE vehicles fires every year and it appears that EVs are significantly less likely to catch fire.

You haven't provided enough information to make a comparison.

Googling some numbers, Tesla has sold 2MM cars, so taking that 97 number we get 0.00004 fires per Tesla.

US has 275MM cars, and (2022 - 2012) * 45000 = 450000, so we have 0.00163 fires per ICE car.

Conclusion: If those numbers are correct, Teslas are two orders of magnitude less likely to catch fire.
You assume that the folks receiving severance are actually "bad performers"; layoffs are not the kind of mechanism that cleanly separate "good" from "bad" performers.
This looks like a publicity stunt to distract from twitter fiasco, perhaps
A personal anecdote that gives some credence to this theory:

Some years ago, after the Economic Crash of 2009, I attended a course in Progammable Logic Controllers which was designed to be a module for electrician's Continuing Professional Development. I, a Civil Engineer, had no background in this topic and said as much to the tutor. "Don't worry, he said, "the people with no experience nearly always do better than anyone else". This surprised me. It also surprised me when I came joint top in the course results.
I'll spare the moral judgements against Tesla for this:

The real moral of the story here is that if your business plan and practices is creating occasional weird issues and huge cognitive dissonance in your customers, it's the wrong business plan. Also... the number of people this applies to is likely so low that Tesla really screwed up by not erring on the side of the customer. (They didn't buy from Tesla, but they're still a customer buying servicing from them.) If the bad publicity alone causes even a tiny fraction of the population to choose another manufacturer, the've lost their $4,500 and then some.

Harmony is a really underrated concept. When things are harmonious, you don't have problems like this, and you can still make money.
I'd like a dumb(ish) digital wallet. One that I can use to replace my 5 NFC-enabled payment cards, which has a small screen which lets me select which payment method I want to use (CC vs Debit, company vs private, etc), and which shows me the amount that's being requested, instead of having to rely on the terminal's goodwill.

Might be nice if it could also include a digital version of the other foo that's in my physical wallet: bus pass, gym membership card, ID, office access card. Like an actual wallet.

Some of these things are already possible with smartphones. But smartphones are insecure garbage filled with ad-tech and bloatware and rarely receive security patches for more than a year or so.

Can you drag stuff onto the taskbar in Win11 yet? Like drag a file to a folder icon, the folder window appears, and the file is moved to that folder. Or drag a file onto an app icon to open the file in that app. The fact that I couldn't do that in Win11 blew my mind, and was the deal breaker.
Maybe you're thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BadBIOS.
Very slow right now but it's still in beta so it is not at all indicative of the compilation speed it will ultimately achieve.
I can tell you this is 110% true in my case. I graduated and landed a very shitty testing job at a big consulting firm. I worked hard like a mule( more like a donkey ) for 11 months.

Then one day I woke up in the middle of the night and screamed into the pillow that I rather kill myself then do my job.
I resigned the next month.

Fucked around for a few months, got interested in making backend apps and started applying again but this time in development roles( instead of QA ).

Lo and behold, did not get a single response from even a small scale startup. Removed my QA experience and just put my Node,Express projects at the top.
Guess what, finally recruiters started to call me.

I realised how I fucked up big time by jumping on the first job offer that I got and my experience for almost an year was just a shit stain on my resume, which completely stalled my career if I hadn't removed it.
Visualising Bubbles (1500–1906)
Exactly. I don’t see the entry level EV that tips the balance coming from Tesla. Model 3 is a luxury vehicle.
Kudos on the release! I've done almost exactly the same thing in Rust with WAL only; writes are appended to a distributed wal which achieves consensus by raft and distributed time leases. it all worked so nearly I was impressed. It was for a client though, so it's unfortunately proprietary.
Use a reshipping services or just find a drop site you have mail access to and know that no one will be home when its likely to be delivered. In my carding days in the late 90s - early 00s, I would use houses being built that were not occupied yet or still under construction. Carded many Rolexes, Oakleys, and video games like Starcraft Brood War and The Sims this way lol.
"Entirely" is the keyword.. there are certainly a lot of things you can buy with crypto, but at some point you need to convert it to a 'real' currency to pay for food or gas or server costs or whatever. And if you find a service that lets you buy food with crypto, eventually they will need to pay their suppliers with 'real' money. Everyone needs to keep track of the btc/USD (or whatever coin) exchange rate to ensure there are enough 'real' dollars or euros or whatever at the end of the day. It's a super hard thing to bootstrap a currency, much easier with the force of the state, I doubt there will ever be a truly competitive crypto.
How does D's safety compare to Rust and Carbon?
A new file won't have that at the top. Unless you create it first by copying a template, I guess.

Okay, and in the three years since then, have they made any progress? If not, why am I wrong if I think they may have just been using that as an excuse?
NEVER.
I would happily pick bad grammar over using Grammarly.

Where do you write that doesn't have the grammar correction built in from the OS?
If I ever want to check my grammar or language (this is quite rare), I just write it out and then put it in some online grammar checker like QuillBot. Works well for me.
I have trust issues

EDIT : I would happily try out some self hosted ones though. I will keep going through the thread here.
AWS has its own serious liabilities - particularly the issue with a lack of billing caps, and the resulting surprise bills. It's discussed here pretty regularly. That may not be unique to AWS, but my point is it's hard to avoid serious liabilities as a small account on any of these clouds.

No. It's more like a fast Python.

My fear is if the unity app somehow loses focus, perhaps due to some annoying OS pop up. I'd love to learn more so I can be confident that it could run in production without too much concern.
This list doesn't even list the important properties of a currency, such at it being fungible or it being cheap to transfer, both which directly disqualify Bitcoin.

Also, both of the ones you list are the same (scalability), whose purpose is to keep transfer fees low. Which, again, Bitcoin utterly fails at.
It VERY unlikely that there were two separate events of transmission of two different variants of SARS-CoV2 virus. It looks like a) virus originated somewhere else and China was just a good place for virus to spread, b) it was two separate deliberate attempts to spread virus in China.
About to find out personally! (applying to Shopify for an eng role as of this comment)
Completely different kind of logistics, both in scope and in focus. in Dwarf fortress, it's about equipping, training and supporting a double- or low triple digit number of soldiers operating in or very near their base.

The logistics we're talking about concern the problem of having about a hundred or even a thousand times more soldiers move large distances away from their base, and avoid having them starve.
Who exactly is being influenced?
A buddy of mine installed some crapware he downloaded off of a warez site back in the mid-2000's which reflashed his BIOS to a very hackers-esque bootsplash that prevented boot. Fortunately, he had a Gigabyte board which ran a dual-BIOS config, so he was one jumper change away from getting back to his system and cleaning stuff up. I'm not sure it was ever intended to do anything more than punish someone, but the capability of doing plenty even on that tiny ROM was there.
When it comes to buying food, "everything is privatized, everything is monetized". And yet with robust competition, the market for food essentially works. It's worst problem seems to be price discrimination "sales", but those are around a factor of two, which may seem high but is actually pretty reasonable compared to non-competative markets.

And while morally, we can perhaps say that we've progressed as a species to a point that nobody should go hungry, any attempts to do so are necessarily going to rely on that food market to create food, with publicly funded purchases. In general, markets can be really good at solving certain problems.

Now, my comment is not a defense of trying to creating scarcity or monopolies where they don't exist - eg NFTs, Nestle buying up aquifers, copyright, etc. Nor is it a defense of creating "market efficiency" out of things that would be personal capital goods, where market inefficiency allowed for wealth to remain distributed (eg Uber, AirBNB).

Personally, I would say that wireless Internet access is (regrettably) a scarce good and thus attempts to make the market more democratized and efficient are a good thing. This is not the all-too-common converse of someone trying to take something that is already democratized and trying to make a market out of it.
As with most things related to the interior life, what works best for you is intensely personal. For myself, I have journaled sporadically for the last decade, as the occasion presented itself.

At first, I bought the notebook to catalogue a trip to Europe. The first pages contain detailed daily logs of about 2 months of my life while I was there. At the time, I recall feeling like I was wasting valuable time that I could spend having more experiences, and there are many missing days as a result. But now 10 years later those pages contain stories I have failed to retain in my memory, and help me to reconstruct the days I didn't record. People and interactions I would have forgotten, short-lived but vivid crushes, a tomato sauce recipe transcribed poorly via a picture dictionary from a retired Italian grandmother at a hostel in Lourdes.

Other times, I've used the journal to clear my head during times of turmoil. Weak and unfinished thoughts on difficult circumstances, poetic images of my emotions, scribbled bullet lists of what happened and in what order as I tried to piece things together.

For a spell, the same journal was where I kept daily todo lists. Today, I'm using it as an outlet for my personal thoughts and goals, to keep them distinct from research notes and work notes. I find that writing them down helps me to clarify what I want and to move in a consistent direction over longer periods than focus and determination alone would allow.

The only consistent format for my journal is putting a date at the top of each entry and writing in pen so I can't erase it.

Every time I look back over what I've written, I take something different away; Rarely do I read what's there and count the act of writing it as a waste of time. It's a window into the past.
Like Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon I guess.

You're thinking about companies as monoliths. They are groups of people.

The managers who want remote attestation aren't the people implementing it. They either pay someone else to do it, or they pay someone else to do it. The difference between paying a third-party company and an employee is that employees are more expensive, because the costs aren't amortized over other customers who want the same stuff. Why would they be more trustworthy? Why would they be better at it? Why would it be any less likely to be hacked if you did it at your company than if you outsourced it?
I wish I could get that offer right now. I would take it straight away.

That reminds me though. I went through quite a few big layoffs at GE and one of the better ones was when they were offering people 26 weeks of pay plus one week for each year of service. Many of these people had 20+ years so they would have gotten nearly a year of pay to quit. Almost nobody took it.
Finding parking alone in a major downtown like Manhattan is time-consuming.

Metro-North from Connecticut to NYC has a speed of 80MPH, and combined with pretty good acceleration from electric propulsion, is often traveling faster than cars.

You get a lot less real estate but you do get a lot more in terms of amenity.

* a lot of amenities found in major cities are there because the major city provides critical mass for niches. (If you don't have enough gay people you won't have gay bars, if you don't have enough Chinese people you are not going to have grocers with Chinese produce, you need a big enough population awake late nights to support diverse late-night food options, you need enough arts patrons to support a museum, etc.)

* switching jobs is easier in big cities, particularly for people with specialist jobs. Remote work is more of a thing post-COVID, but realistically speaking a lot of companies will limit that to areas where they are already set up (since even in the US tax, employment benefit, health insurance etc. regulation varies significantly by state), and major cities are better covered in terms of companies already being tax compliant.

Big cities aren't for everyone, but also suburbs are not for everyone, and small towns are not for everyone, and we are seeing that there is more demand for big city than is currently being satisfied.
