I started using it in 1995. At that time no. The crypto space appears to be ~99% scams and vaporware while the early internet was maybe not even %1 scams, being restricted to email spam (I don't remember that being a problem for me until years later) or Usenet newsgroup spam.

Maybe something will come out the crypto space which is actually revolutionary and useful, but it remains to be seen. With early internet it was immediately obvious that this was going to be a gamechanger, and had real utility whereas most of the crypto space appears to be ponzi speculation.
> crucial to allow GPS systems to accurately convey their positions to orbital satellites.

I actually think they may have been referring to the ground stations here, not the GPS devices you carry as a user, since they said "GPS systems" and not "GPS receivers". Presumably the satellites need to determine their positions based on the positions of the ground stations.
Funny, I almost never see Rhino mentioned in these discussions. Yeah its 999$ but comes with Grasshopper, crazy insane parametric node based drawing (and simulation, batch exporting, and python support). Plus, it’s not Autodesk (yet) which I stopped using since I tried Fusion 360; After using it once (auto run after install) I could not find the binary next time. Apparently it installed itself in non standard directories on mac (outside spotlights scope), ouch. Not sure if thats still the case, but this malpractice not only put me off, I literally could not run it again besides reinstalling hahha

Capitalism is an obsession over capital at the expense of everything else. If going to war serves the interests of capital, then it will be done without any questions.
Doubtful. Both GCC and LLVM are written in C++ so you have to build a C++ compiler irrespective of whether you actually want one!

I suspect it's more that they don't like C++ and want to use C for everything. Whether that actually translates into a higher quality tool or a more performant tool, we can only imagine.
Once I knew what process shots were, I just can't unsee them in older movies. In particular, where the actors are driving in a car, when the background is clearly a rear projection on a screen.

It’s about wanting to do something and having energy to do it. When I’m fresh and interested I still learn fast. I guess I was fresh and interested more often when I was younger. Also, learning was a priority back then, not so much these days.

Most of the best speedcubers from the late 2000s era when I used to follow the "scene" went on to work in FAANG or mathematics research or quant something similarly difficult and analytical. There's no real future in cubing, I saw it as a way for especially gifted teens to demonstrate to the world how excellent their minds were at computation and pattern recognition. Not dissimilar to track or football or spelling, some young people possess the individual burning flame to want to be the best and personally I love watching them do so.

> you’re loaning them your money.

This is mostly wrong in modern economies. In Denmark you are not able to to buy a car with cash (Yor are legally required to use banks when transacting more than DKK 20.000, ~USD 2.700).

This has promoted the banking system to nation critical infrastructure, and the money in the bank is not a representation of "paper money". It is the money.

Yes, Gronau is the notable exception. Though note the involvement of WW2 winners France and UK (the owner is still a UK company) and the capacity that was wildy below demand for Western German plants.

It also isn't like Germany didn't want nuclear proliferation. Public demand to be allowed to produce nukes already started with Konrad Adenauer in the 1950's, and parts of the conservatives still bring up the topic from time to time (e.g. Rupert Scholz in 2007).
>That said, without a rental market the price of houses goes way down.

I see that you are saying you would simply sell the apartments instead now. What is the solution for (e.g.) new grads who do not have a down payment yet? Why aren't tenants currently pooling their money, purchasing the properties they live at and converting it to a Tenancy in Common?

I do not think prices will drop without a rental market. Prices might even increase because you are making the market much less efficient. It will also make building new units more difficult as there will almost always be a holdout in the building.
What's Most Popular on Pornhub?
Well I'm not sure. Refining is over 90% and so is extraction by the looks, but combined and add transport and yeah maybe it's more like 80%, in any case it's around an order of magnitude more efficient than western food production isn't it?
> you'll eventually miss out on a movie you'd really enjoy

This DTDD website is for people who will definitely not enjoy the film because the dog dies. Many of these films are quite lazy anyway - the dog is just a plot device and they kill it as a cheap way to build up tension. Basically you won't miss much from skipping them.
You're on point. I think the issue is the fourth wall is becoming thinner. When you watch an old movie, you don't get the immersion you got watching it when it was out
While we're at it, let's add staff to "checkout" code from source control. :-)
That is one of the worst charts I have seen in many years. Stacking just makes no sense!
This is a very naïve view. It's technically correct (the best kind of correct?) but it's also missing the point by a wide margin - the "spherical, frictionless cow in a void" missing the point.

You're correct in the sense that trains and bicycles are, true, more energy efficient. I'm not even looking for numbers here, because it's irrelevant.

What you're missing is that real humans occasionally need to move a mattress. Or just bring home groceries once a week. Or have kids. Or that a full quarter of the population are seniors. Or that quite a few people live in places with hard winters. You think it's a coincidence that Netherlands is the country of bicycle riders? Gulfstream :) They hardly have any snow or ice - just walk around in the street there, and it'll hit you that most buildings have windows that take up half the wall. Cold is just not a concern there, the way it would be in a lot of other places.

If you compare an EV with a train on an energy efficiency PoV, yes, the train may be twice as efficient (or less?). But an EV covers 80% of energy requirements (it's CLEAN, cheaper than gas, less carbon generating, less likely to subsidize oil-based dictatorships), while also not having you haul a toddler, an infant and 3 bags of groceries through snow from the train station half a mile away.
I think the main issue is the quantity and density of complexity in the language (which is just a side effects of its long existence). A lot of it is hidden, or implicit; probably why people call them footguns, too.

I used to write C++ for a few years, and the mental burden is real, you just stop noticing it. Having come back to C++ for an old project a few months ago, and writing it felt like a chore. Maybe I just never liked it without realising, and it's only just surfaced, though!
It is a dying market though.

It brings me to a story from two years ago about Norwegian (...) fish - branded as "environment friendly" - is sent from Norway to China for filleting, and then back to the market. About 25% of all the cod sold by one of the biggest companies in Norway has endured this trip.

It's worth mentioning that the fish in question comes from "all over the world", but still.

Humans are quite inefficient - we can convert around 25% of food energy to work. The losses in the power plant generating the electricity for charging the e-bike's battery and the motor's efficiency losses would result in a higher overall efficiency than 25%.
Ok, I understand your concern about Slirp.

There's a Simpsons episode where the dog has a twisted stomach, and the vet is able to save him in the end. My family's dog died of a twisted stomach years ago. They still can't watch that episode.
Try using nextdns. I set it up for my wife in her smartphone, as she didn't want to have it rooted. Works like a charm.

Many features are added to C++ not in order to "cover more", but to be able to do things better, or often - to allow making things _easier_ for the lay programmer (which is not the same thing as making things easier for library authors).
This is also why I think it's silly people make such a big deal out of leap seconds. Yes, to the programmers it would be great if time were to flow uniformly, but it doesn't, and it doesn't even stay consistent on your computer. Your time may go back and forth several seconds depending on your RTC and its conditions and leap seconds should be treated the same.
phpBB aesthetics hurt so good.
For web scraping, I recommend using a web scraping API, e.g. https://scrapingfish.com. This solves all potential problems with getting blocked and can make data extraction easier as well.

For the app, I've recently started using Remix (https://remix.run) and so far it seems to have been a good choice for me. There is a good integration with Remix in Mantine for front end: https://mantine.dev/guides/remix/. I think it's a good full stack choice if you just want to quickly build an app for your project/product.
Sprinting is clearly limited by physics and biology, but for mind work it's unclear where the limits to experience and learning are. Is there such a thing as the 10x programmer? Or is it even 100x? These things are all highly debatable.
Money isn't bounded by time nor space, it is actually a trivial observation but for him the movie shows a physical manifestation of that idea
It didnt focus on those aspects because they are not about the core question which is the presence of suitable geography.

Nonetheless nuclear power really doesnt stack up well against pumped storage on any of those other dimensions either. Certainly not cost or NIMBY potential.
Please compare the list of countries with plants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_by_country with the list of countries with nukes: https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/worldwide. Note that most of the exceptions in Eastern Europe and Asia were formerly part of the Soviet Union or Warshaw Pact. Japan is indeed a notable exception as the country also has enrichment capabilities etc. Though note that they, too, seem to phase out the usage, though. Switzerland is planning it's phase out too, AFAIK.
Couldn't agree more, but if car owners get to vote in politicians who then force non-car owners to subsidize their new EV, it's going to be very hard to get them to understand common sense.
Re science, I did say:

> Can we even be cognisant of the facts, or are even scientific institutions bent to political ends? Which of these parties - corporate, governmental, military - that sponsor research is the one that is interested in truth, rather than control and power?

... which is akin to religions of the past.

I would say I'm 'climate alarmism hesitant' or 'governance narrative hesitant'. I don't trust the honesty of our institutions to act in a way that is beneficial for people, as opposed to gaining more power and control for themselves.

From an anti-statist position, I think I can look at the provided narrative from a different perspective, without the heat or panic. I suggest to you the narrative is non-sensical and that you have no personal experience to support it. And that it should be ignored.
Wasn’t there a magnetic/levitating robot that did this?
I don't really see a gap between the value placed on labor by the traditional left and the new ethic of anti-work. The difference lies in alienation. The old style predated Fordism and valued the manual trades, and those were/are the "jobs" where you still find individual workers largely in control of their own economic fate. When that kind of autonomy is taken away (or surrendered), what remains is anti-work and bullsh*t work and quiet quitting.
Recursion as a concept is useful. In practice, you can sometimes achieve better performance (or avoid exceeding some call stack limit) by doing it "iteratively" in a way that's still conceptually equivalent to recursion, i.e. with a stack you manually manage. I've never had a function call itself in C++, but I've done conceptually recursive things a lot in it.

The second issue is why I think we won't see our societies self led until we have technology that can prevent tirany of the majority. This has been an issue with democracy as long as it has existed, Socrates is one of the victims of this system.
Because what is to prevent 66% of the population voting that you be publicly dismembered? This would be perfectly democratic.

And if you think this is some unreasonable edge case you must remember that humans are beings guided by emotion as much as reason, the whole COVID panic and hysteria that happened just two years ago has enough examples that emotion will trump reason even in situations that aren't even that dire.
I think he is wrong: STEM (especially programming) is excellent at proving the person to have failed.

You cannot create software without experience failure a hundred times a day.

Compare this to humanities like literature: how many times a day is a literature teacher proven to have made a mistake? How much real experience does this person have with failure? How many times have your literature teacher admitted "I made a mistake"?

So the STEM person is likely to be confident because s/he has a lot of experience with failure and know how to handle them, and how much they can delay progress.
We share the same hope for the future, but I do not think our current "democracies" are quite good, as you say. I think they're terrible, and the alternatives are even worse.

Sadly we don't have anything to replace them with at the moment, and we're just a hair away from some societal and political event to convince people that this very charismatic leader has all the answers and we should vote for them.
Ehhh, the creator also works on a minimalist Linux distro (Oasis) and one of their goals is to build with cproc (a C frontend for the QBE backend), all written in ISO C. He uses Samurai in his distro, so it all fits together pretty well
Remuneration is only one dimension in this.

A certain distance has opened up in modernity. It is between what is
accounted for and what is casual. Between the formal and the informal.
Official, and unofficial. It is about what it "recognised" ... by
whom?

Paradoxically, this age in which everything must be measured,
approved, certified and stamped, has made the amateur-professional
distinction more about the rituals and symbols of quality rather than
measurable quality.

My bachelors degree in CS&EE meant reading about 12 books, plus
validation through a gauntlet of examinations. For my troubles I got a
nice certificate and 40 years of salary increase. The reality is that
I read two dozen other books in my spare time as a teenager, just for
fun and interest, and received no degree for them. Since then I've
read many hundreds of books in my life, on philosophy, law,
psychology, politics and other subjects. No degrees.

Out of love, I've paid more attention, taken better notes and more
deeply considered those subjects than I did in the brief 3 years upon
which my credentialled career is predicated.

Interestingly a doctor, lawyer or professional politician [1] is as
free to write code on which a billion people depend as I, yet I cannot
practice law, treat patients or have much of a say in how my society
is run [2] - not that I'd be any good at those things.

Professionalism seems as much about money as it is about how society,
including its incumbent elites and class structures, select who is
"recognised", who gets to bestow the blessings, and ultimately to
control produce and behaviour.

While in the army many young lads, whose "heart isn't really in it",
are technically "professional soldiers". They hang up their boots
after the first tour. Only the crazy ones who become "contractors"
(mercenaries) might be said to have the truest instinct for it.

Software has carved out a very unusual niche this past 50 years. It's
a mercenary game, so complex and difficult that a genuine meritocracy
ensues, one that cannot be ignored or papered over with accolades or
associations. Either your code works or it doesn't.

But that unregulated laissez faire has also created a brutal world in
which becoming a "professional" coder is certainly the best way to
kill any fun and love for it. Meanwhile many well paid, hard working
lawyers and doctors hold on to the love for their work.

So I think "professionalism" and the identity, recognition, provision
and protections it can offer makes for some very interesting
distinctions.

What makes you sure that the public story is the real one? It doesn't seem that hard to plan for Snowden to be in the right airport at the time his passport gets revoked, with some support. The fact that neither the US nor Russia went on record saying the opposite means nothing. The US might not believe they have anything to gain by trying to convince people that Snowden is a Russian agent. Doesn't mean it's false.
You can certainly generalize, and chiropractics is a sham, but if there is some placebo effect or it makes people happy then fine so long as people are well informed then they can choose to go to these quacks if they like. The problem is person having a serious and undiagnosed neurological problem is referred to a chiropractor by an alleged real medical doctor.

Would you feel the same way if a doctor referred a depressed person to see an astrologist or psychic medium or a church? You will easily find thousands of anecdotes from people attesting to those helping them, and you might even find they could statistically help some peoples' mental health whether by placebo or giving them someone to talk to or a group to be part of.

But the problem is regulatory. China already has a number of under $5000 city cars that are perfectly fine for driving around. Problem is that they're completely illegal in Europe or US.

We utterly need a category of city vehicles that are barred from highways, can be driven in cities, and lack 90% of all the newer and ridiculously expensive safety features. We're moving in a direction where new cars are mandated to read the speed limits indicators and follow them. Honestly I'm hoping this particular piece of news is bunk, but it definitely wouldn't surprise me - regulators love regulations, car manufacturers love having extra features to sell, and it's fool-proof protection against cheaper alternatives.

A city car needs safety belts, and a built in speed limit. That's it.
Haha, yeah. I guess things like Cargo bikes don't exist. Nor does just bringing your stuff onto the train and putting it into it's cargo holds. Or bringing your cargo bike onto the train.

Yup, private carriages are the only option for your occasional weekly or monthly tasks.

I guess its also just outright impossible to just allow for mixed zoning that'd allow for daily grocery shopping as well.
I'm talking about the production of gasoline there (vs production of food).
That's true for a small group of country pairs, and also depends on any corporate structure the interviewee has set up. (Most have none set up, which makes it more difficult.)
>You are using terms like DEI and saying it is important. But what you are writing comes across as very racist.

This as DEI working as designed. The latent condescension in the corporate propaganda is apparent and offensive when verbalized. If you speak it aloud like the GP did, you are chastised. In a professional setting that's an effective humiliation ritual. It strongly discourages you from speaking up again in the future. Eventually you notice more flaws in the DEI sales pitch, but by then you've learned your lesson. You stay quiet. Thus the worker is controlled and the corporate propaganda is shielded from criticism.

As posted below, Amazon has been caught measuring workplace diversity and correlating it negatively with unionization and worker solidarity. To them, forced diversity is a net benefit. But the downsides of forced diversity are never to be mentioned by the workers themselves, who are irredeemable racists if they say what Amazon internally acknowledges to be true:

In production code, you'd generally avoid recursion to avoid stack overflows.

Given in most languages you can't enforce tail call optimisation, it's risky to use unbounded recursion.
I think the flaw with C++ is that it's too low-level for high-level applications, and it's too complex for performance-sensitive applications. I don't know what it's really good for. It feels far easier to use either extreme of C or Python/JS depending on the job. C++ seemingly grew to fill the high-level space that others have already filled better by now.
