Those standards are mostly additive, while Google wants to fix some fundamental issues with the language.
Ugh, It may be superior in every way (I haven't had time to read up on how or why yet) but the name? Has no one at Google ever developed in the Apple ecosystem? I know it's been 10 years but still..

It's not as bad as Microsoft though, with the word "Unity" - both a game development platform and an IOC container. Had loads of fun googling help for the IOC container when 90% of the results were about the game dev platform - also in C#.
"politics, social life, social net"

I think it will be hard to recommend depending on your exact positions on these.

I think it will be difficult to recommend a place with low taxes and robust safety net. Generally the taxes are what Pay for a safety net.

On that note, the US could be an option (southern states) for you since the taxes tend to be lower than other developed nations. The safety net is fairly robust, but only applicable in many cases if you're destitute. The caveat is that politics suck here, but they suck basically everywhere.
Seven years ago someone at Google estimated that there was 2 Billion lines of code in production to support Google Services [1]. Given this was seven years ago the number is probably much higher now and a large chunk of it is C++. Clearly any replacement language for C++ has to seamlessly (as primary design goal at least) consume and update this gigantic C++ code base. Nobody is rewriting all of that from scratch. That pretty much rules out Rust, Golang and various other languages which provide a thin "extern C function" level compatibility at best. Would be interesting to see how the language progresses.

Well upto certain limits versatility is important. But, being too versatile also brings more complexity and it makes language confusing. I read more code than I write, so this versatily is not good for people like me.
Indeed, ~1000 worldwide had any sort of hepatitis at all, whereas over 400 have died from Covid in the U.S. alone.

Even if their theory is right about isolation being the cause of the hepatitis cases, then it was still the right thing to do in terms of risk vs. reward.
>How does it benefit local Mexicans?

Let me flip the script on you. How did rich Arabs, Asians and Russians buying US, London, Vancouver, etc. realestate benefit the average American/local? How much of their investment money ended up in the Average Joe's pocket? How much was his life improved from that added money? If you answer me this, I will eat my own hair.

I'm tired of this trope that real estate economic colonialism somehow benefits the locals so much, they should be damn grateful they're being priced out of their own countries/cities by richer foreigners because "they're spending their money here instead of back home".

No! You can try to spin it as some benevolent trickle down economics, but it only benefits the asset owning/rent seeking class and the middle men who make a living by taking a cut on real estate deals (banks, building developers, realtors, lawyers, notaries, etc.), basically those wo are already in the top 10%, if not even higher. The rest, mostly get shafted, as that's where the trickle down ends and the only effect they will experience is housing becoming even more unaffordable for them.

As much as you want to think you're helping, it doesn't improve the country at large, it just increases inequality. The rich get richer, while the poor will be poorer.

Otherwise Thailand, Vietnam and other expat enclaves for Westerners would be out of poverty by now. But that's not how this works. You don't get a poor country out of poverty by housing rich foreigners.
An LED alternative to Microsun would be nice

Texas gets plenty cold in the winter months, particularly in the high plains; heated seats would absolutely be useful for a decent chunk of the year.
- Use cs.github.com for code search when you need to find usage ( other than sample) for a library

- If you need to choose a tool to do something. After you find one, don't just use it: search for alternatives using:
* crowded based developer alternatives sites like like alternativeto.net, stackshare.io
* crowded based buisness alternatives sites like like g2.com, producthunt
* Github topics based alternatives sites like libhunt.com, openbase.com, quine.sh
If you plug a USB keyboard, windows will automatically set it up. All the stick needs to do is emulate a keyboard, then it can send keystroke to the OS as yourself, no need for auto-run.
You didn't want to hear this answer :) but most 2008 football teams would beat their typical modern-day opponents - ie. their 1970 versions.

Players are being noticed much earlier now (pro training starts much much earlier, and from a wider pool of talent), and also modern players are (mostly) saints in terms of maintaining their fitness ("healthy food" based in individual medical testing, no alcohol/smoking/drugs - and tested regularly for this) - while as for the 70's players - it's full of stories of late-night partying.

A language in the niche of C++ is always going to be complex (see rust), although possibly not as complex as C++.

I think that Carbon is not meant to be 100% backward compatible at least at this point, so they can iteratively try to smooth the rough edges of the language.
>Is it too much to hope that these elites get sued into oblivion or put behind bars?

That's unlikely to happen soon. Even if it happens, the reaction is likely to overshoot in the other direction.

The only hope for reform is for disenchanted old elites like Ms Oates here to push to reform her own team.
Sure, I knew about the Value trait but I thought it wasn't relevant for the general point (and I thought that sentence had too many parenthesised clarifications already!).
I've been doing one-offs as a freelancer for 10-15 years, though it has never been my sole focus/career. I think once you start landing some gigs and build a network, similar work will find its way to you. As much as it's a small niche with not very much demand, there isn't much supply or competition. The thing that helps with word of mouth with physical installation work is you can end up with something visually striking to show colleagues or prospective clients.

Unfortunately, you're not going to convince people by laying out statistics, otherwise you'd (you as in transit advocates, not you specifically) would have succeeded already.

What you need to do is address how people feel, and transit advocates have been doing a poor job at that in the US.

People feel safe in their cars. People feel unsafe on transit. I don't know why this perception deviates from reality, but it does. Maybe it's because in a car you have tons of steel surrounding you from the drunk driver, while in transit you have at best your clothes protecting you from the psycho.

Address this, and you will win over many people to transit. But again - I feel like most transit advocates are highly resistant to doing what needs to be done.

I have nothing against well run transit. I love taking the subways in Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and other cities where subways are ultraclean and nearly devoid of potentially dangerous individuals. I hate taking the NYC subways because almost every other day I encounter someone I feel wary being in the same car or station with.

You're simply not going to win over hearts and minds by stating the homeless guy in the subway car raving about some lunacy is completely harmless and you should just ignore him and let him be. Even if he is actually harmless beyond just stinking up the air and causing a nuisance.
Interesting, do you have some source links for that?
Golang and C++ don't serve the same purpose. Google internally sometimes uses both to the same effect but that's because Google internally has a bunch of stuff (including new kernel syscalls) that makes highly concurrent server development in C++ palatable.

So why "compete" with Rust? Because C++ compatibility was never a design goal of Rust, so gradual, painless migration from C++ to Rust is a non-starter. The best you can hope to do is rewrite entire subsystems where the API is narrow enough. This new language is obviously going to allow something more like Kotlin or even Swift where codebases will be mixed and new code will be written in Carbon.

Been thinking of getting into it. But, I do not think the tech stack is what matters as it would be the systems knowledge about that particular market and the best way to use the tech stack to leverage that systems knowledge of that market for the kiosk end-users.

An example, Fast food kiosks. What systems knowledge can I gain about all about McDonalds can I gain to them partner with my tech stack to deliver a McDonalds kiosk that amps up the McDonalds Experience.
By all means, that is a great film to see at the local artsy theater!
Around 25 years ago, I was part of a team that was building a client-server workflow system in C++. We had sharded SQL databases and an object server that managed the ORM for each shard and a queue server that kept a prefetched list of objects for each queue. A central broker handled client applications and communicated with the queue server and the object server and also handled transaction management. Since this was a workflow, objects moved from queue to queue as defined in the buisness process and were acted upon by applications (could be an automated step or user-driven).

One of the main techniques we used was a memory manager (using overloaded new/delete operators) and data serialization such that we could build the prefetched set of objects in a memory manager (at the object server) and persist it to disk on a central file server. The client could just load that file into memory and directly access the objects without any parsing. We had a whole object API to encapsulate this. When the client was done with processing, it would just flush the memory to disk (on the network file server) and send a message the broker and the broker/objectserver/queueserver handle the write lazily.

Also, if the system crashed, we had a tool to rebuild the object server state and queue server state from the SQL databases, so there was some recovery/resiliency built in.

Granted, the operating environment of the client and server was controlled by us and this architectural choice made sense. But, the main thing that surprised me was the performance gained by the client apps not having to parse out the objects due to the use of the memory manager and the reduction of application latency (for users) due to the interleaving of prefetch and lazywrites. This was by no means a simple trick, but certainly very clever.

This is already implemented with manifold's unit expressions, but is made richer and more readable via concatenative features. For instance, '1.5 * USD' is not as readable as simply '1.5 USD'. However, unit expressions leverage operators for dimensional arithmetic:

Force f = 5 kg * 9.807 m/s/s; // result: 49.035 Newtons

Area space = (20ft + 2in) * (37ft + 7.5in); // result: 758 37/48 ft²

All unit expressions internally store amounts as SI units, which enables interunit expressions.

Length height = 6 ft + 4 cm; // mix SI and US units

out.println(height.to(ft)); // display any unit

You aren't limited to units. Generally, any concatenative sequence can be implemented. Like ranges:

IntegerRange range = 1 to 5;

Here the `to` identifier's type implements reactions to Number types to produce range types, which enables:

for (int i: 1 to 5) {
out.println(i);
}

I love that my current rental car (a Kia K5) has lane-keeping and collision-detection features. If it tried to label those "self-driving," I'd never use them.

I think you're right: companies like Uber and Tesla are pushing self-driving cars, but there isn't really popular support for them.
As houses sell for more, rent also increases. This caused services and labor costs to go up.

This causes inflation but most wages don’t go up by the same amount, making people poorer. Just look at Silicon Valley.
What I describe is what ROS supporters want it to be. As I wrote, no established vendor in the space wants to see the emergence of commodity industry standards. It seems that for the foreseeable future, we're stuck with the status quo.

I think I do about 50% more work from home than I ever did at the office. It's much easier to pretend to work at the office than it is to pretend to work from home. If you are in the office, the management sees you staring at the code on your big screen and nods to himself, "Yes, work!" At home, the management only sees what you have accomplished, most of which they would need a 2 year refresher course to understand how hard it was.

Sometimes I'll whip up a piece of code that makes me cry because it was so difficult to achieve and makes me realize how far I've come. A freaking miracle, and management will not give a flying fig because they don't understand what I really did. Other times I'll spend ten minutes on a one line fix, most of which was spent sipping coffee and groaning and I'll be nominated for some award...
Yea but that is opt-in not opt-out. For example there are botnets that use specific domains, they get disrupted until they spread again when a domain or IP is taken down. The longer a credential phish stays up the more people are affected by it as well. If there is no way to ensure by default a domain is inaccessible when revoked it isn't a workable system for commerical applications.
"Handling contraception" is almost zero cost (so can even be done in bad economie where stuff like child support can't work) and is about choice, not forcing anyone to do anything!

If you want to play the "contraception is eugenics" card, have fun with whatever ultra-cristian uneducated mid-american audience you find for that...
That’s only salary.

Bearing in mind if we’re going for 3x cheaper we’re not getting people that are super competitive on the global market:

Your other costs are not just lawyers: you’ll often need near perfect task definitions and acceptance criteria. That takes time (=money) and it requires a degree of upfront knowledge of the system that is way higher than if you’re working with devs you’re interacting with 6 times a day.

You’ll often realize that you messed up the specs on some edge case or they messed the implementation, and you get a redo a full cycle for the correction. And all that could be opportunity cost as well for your PO dealing with that team.

That remote team also probably won’t have the same access to your production than your local team for many reasons, including legal ones.

You’ll also have to adjust for timezones, regular trips etc. You then factor in the stress on wether your staff wants to babysit a remote team.

All in all, it’s not as clear cut as just stacking salaries, except if you’re IBM or Accenture, where the result doesn’t really matter much and the above quagmire is your core competency.

PS: hiring a $150k/year remote team is another story, of course.
Some countries did seriously try contact tracing for COVID-19 and it was generally a waste of resources. Most contact tracing programs have now been discontinued or scaled back. China is still doing it, but their approach requires an authoritarian surveillance state which is far worse than any virus.
I’d wager the vast (99.95%+) majority of kids who were kept inside to protect them from Covid, have gotten Covid by now or will get it and recover, meaning that will they have Covid immunity AND were denied the opportunity to better avoid this hepatitis infection.
This sort of thing keeps getting invented over and over for the past hundred years but never seems to stick, and cars stay impossible to parallel park.

There is nothing to suggest that it is competing with Rust. It would be a strange question to ask.

> why can’t they stipulate requirements for using their services?

They can and they do, but there is too much of this behavior that companies require too much access and control of people's computers. My computer is my private thing. It's like my home. No company requires to come home to me when I want to do something; they send mail. I want more things to work like the web: everyone has 100% control of their computer and web browser and they can connect to web servers and those web servers can have whatever rules they want but they don't try to get into people's computers.
Planet Money had a good episode on this recently - https://www.npr.org/2022/06/24/1107581150/recession-referees
Even when individuals act with charity and compassion, they act according to their beliefs, interests, and needs. As Reinhold Niebuhr described in Moral Man and Immoral Society, a group of individuals acting according to shared interests, even when doing so compassionately, will inevitably come into conflict with other groups, socially or militaristically, when those interests conflict.
When interacting with a system, e.g. to test it, or reproduce an error, etc. I try to build up a 'self-contained' command, rather than relying on state. For example, in a REPL we can usually press UP to get a copy of the previous command, which we can then tweak (I've added // comments to explain the though process; I wouldn't actually write them down!)

// Make sure we can load our dependencies, etc.
> import foo
Imported foo.bar, foo.baz, foo.theProblematicFunction

// Great, now let's try calling the problematic code
> import foo; foo.theProblematicFunction()
Type Error: foo.theProblematicFunction requires an argument of type User

// Hmm, it needs some arguments; let's keep plugging things in until it runs
> import foo; foo.theProblematicFunction(User())
Type Error: User require arguments of type (Name, Email)

> import foo; foo.theProblematicFunction(User(Name("Alice"), Email("alice")))
Type Error: Email requires username and host parts

> import foo; foo.theProblematicFunction(User(Name("Alice"), Email("alice", "example.com")))
LOG.INFO: Sent welcome email to alice@example.com

// Great, we can run the code. Now let's try reproducing the error. Maybe it was spaces in the Name?
> import foo; foo.theProblematicFunction(User(Name("Alice Doe"), Email("alice", "example.com")))
LOG.INFO: Sent welcome email to alice@example.com

// Nope that works. Maybe it was the lack of a top-level domain?
> import foo; foo.theProblematicFunction(User(Name("Alice"), Email("alice", "localhost")))
Uncaught InvalidInputException: Email domain must contain a dot

// Aha, we've found the problem!

We now have a single line `import foo; ... "localhost")))` which reproduces what we're after. We can put that in a test suite to make a regression test; or email it to a colleague for their opinion; or file a bug in an upstream library; etc. This would be trickier we had done separate lines like `import foo`, `let name = Name("alice")`, etc.

I have two of them and especially in the winter I really love them. Retrofitted a floor lamp and table lamp. I don't know what kind of crazy COB LED would be required to be equivalent to them - probably wouldn't fit into standard lamps either but would require a bespoke fixture.
As I mentioned in my initial post, yes if you have multiple properties then I totally agree that taxation should occur.

And of course if you sell the property, no matter what there should be taxed earnings.

For limitation rules, I think they a part of the problem.

If you for whatever reason are on a financial decline, property tax adds to the kick in the face until you reach the very bottom.

Then if you manage to begin crawl back out of the abyss, that boot will start planting itself repeatedly your face again, stopping you on your way back to normal.
Sheesh, I don’t think that was called for. Was a good discussion until that :/
In my experience most dark sky advocacy comes from the work of scientists who agree that artificial light is great, but it can be even better (for health, safety, environment, etc.) if you only use it when you need it, and you only point it where it needs to go. That’s basically the core of the argument. Hope I helped shed more light on the topic for you!

I've heard that PAs in the UK are essentially the equivalent of junior doctors (what we Americans call residents), except permanently.
To me the simplicity argument is the greater argument t for microservices

We should stop seeing microservices as a technical problem / solution they are how to divide a "business domain" up into account the smallest constituent parts according to vat business view in the domain
