It's easy to see which commands are given to the compiler and if there is a copied library if you have sources.
Looks pretty good. Is there anyway to share a completed prototype app with a other user, or run an app developed this way standalone? I went to look at the docs page on your site, but it's more of a basic tutorial rather than docs.
Local air pollution of newish cars is primarily from tyres and brakes, as is the effect of vehicles on waterways. What is from burning is mostly trucks (which are better replaced with trains for about 70% of use cases in a sanely designed area). An EV with decent range will also take until well after it is bricked by a remote software update to break even with keeping a small capacity hatchback running.

Producing an EV and building and maintaining car infrastructure uses massive amounts of fossil fuels and entails horrifically destructive mining of large quantities of rare elements such as cobalt and niobium.

All for the end result of wasting vast amounts of time, space, and tax money in any urban area to force a suburban lifestyle that is even more destructive, economically unsustainable, and wasteful.
I love trains.
When I went to the US I took the chance to ride a couple and I loved the beautiful landscapes.

It's a bit sad that the whole country is designed for cars and trains are so limited.
My understanding, as a Swedish native, is that income from labour is taxed rather high (i think 70%+ for income over a certain amount). However, capital gains are taxed comparatively low. The two most common ways tax either 30% of the profit, or 1-3% of the annual total value (ish, I don't know the exact numbers and they are probably changing from year to year).

How the incentives play out you have to ask someone else about tough ;)

Edit: Got curious and looked up income tax. Turns out I was slightly wrong, Income is regularly taxed around 55% for really high income, but if you also count in VAT ("moms" in swedish) you get ~70% taxation.

Yes. But the other set of problems exists anyway. Even if you drop in a new system version of a shared library, you still need to consider what other versions are used apart from the system library. Any app (other than those provided by a system
package manager of course) can have a local version different from the system version and any app can have linked it statically?
Apparently Perlis devoted some time to making epigrams. I like #119 (and have amended it in line with #122 and recent developments in Canada, et al) : Programming is an unnatural act, but so far it is still mostly legal.

https://web.archive.org/web/19990117034445/http://www-pu.inf...

p.s.

Actually applying Perlis's epigrams to epigrams, we inevitably reach the conclusion that epigrams stifle thought yet #125 still holds:

#121 permits meta-epigrams.

proposed: Epigrams optimize expression.

#21: optimization hinders evolution

q.e.d. epigrams stifle evolution of thought.

Thanks for your reply. But isn't this argument ad populum?

While we are talking about music, it is about tastes that the real debate is. I think naive standardization is a problem. You don't need standards when it comes to tastes and preferences.

What is the best fruit in the world? According to your comment, the most popular fruit should be, right?

Different people like different fruits, and they may like many different fruits at the same time, without exactly knowing the numeric values of their derived utilities (as suggested by economists).

The same applies to music. Hence, the assertion that Mozart is the best music there is dubious at best.

I built TurboSearch, an ag frontend for MSVC: https://kcbanner.gumroad.com/l/turbosearch

I was frustrated with how slow and clunky all the existing solutions were for regex searches. The built in file search in MSVC has a UI that wastes a tonne of space (and the search itself is unuseably slow). Constantly changing to a terminal to run ag/grep and then open the file manually in MSVC was a pain, so I learned how to build an extension and put a GUI onto the command line tools I was already using.

Tools like Visual Assist are great if you want actual symbol indexing, but the searches (of a UE4) codebase can take 30-60s. TurboSearch can run a regex search of the entire engine in ~6s and searches of just the game code take ~200ms.

I have only sold one copy, but I use it every day and it's a core part of my workflow. I thought there would be more interest in it when I built it, but since I've gotten so much use out of it myself, the time spent building it was well worth it.

This is classism in action. There’s no reason a nurse practitioner can’t bear legal responsibility for their actions. As long as it’s unambiguous who is the responsible party whether they are a physician, nurse or physiotherapist there’s a chain of accountability.

The data is scraped from restaurant menu aggregators. There are some online and they don't seem to even try to stop you from scraping.

If I had to guess I'd say that scraping restaurant websites would be a much bigger project than what I did, given that there isn't structure in how menus are presented, and most of them still have pdfs, or even worse, an image for their menu.
Exactly. Remember the GM EV1? That's going to be everything soon unless we do something.
When talking about JavaScript performance, aren't we essentially comparing Bun to V8?

If so, wouldn't it be very hard to beat V8's performance, given that there has been so much engineering effort for many years towards making it fast?

Or are we taking into account the speed of the package managers and bundlers as well?

Disclaimer: I haven't saw the benchmarks, if any.
Linked lists are probably most common in memory managers, and in embedded programming where memory is very tight, timing is critical, and the cache might be limited. Memory managers use intrusive linked lists to manage the free list; they need a data structure that doesn’t require malloc or new, can grow & shrink dynamically without relocating, and has constant time inserts & deletes from the middle of the list.

Linked lists aren’t very common in desktop application programming, if they ever were, and non-intrusive linked lists as container classes do seem particularly prone to having better alternatives, especially naïve implementations that allocate the list nodes and node content separately. One of the best reasons to reach for a linked list is to avoid all calls to new or malloc or free, so doubling up on them is especially silly.

I don’t think this is really a 70s thing though. Linked lists might have been used slightly more often in the past, but I think they’ve always been used far less than arrays, and my old algorithms books that predate std::vector just use arrays. Maybe the main utility of linked lists is to teach about pointers and algorithm complexity. They do make good examples of pointer management and of algorithms with different big-O than arrays, hashes, trees, etc. I maybe used linked lists a couple of times in games programming, but have rarely ever used them, while they were covered thoroughly in school.
Everybody agrees that money is valuable; not everybody agrees that Mozart is good music. No?
Or you can link locally.
The page says that listening to Mozart does not, itself, make you smarter (contrary to the pop culture understanding). I’m saying I wouldn't be surprised if growing up in a household where classical music is present nets you a better outcome on average because of the many other confounding factors.

If you read chapter 5 in Freakenomics you’ll understand what I’m talking about.

This is similar to how I used to clean computers that data was needed from.

I would isolate it for a few days (no power on, disconnected from any network, etc). Then use a burned DVD or USB with MSFT's Offline Defender. The extra few days really seemed to help the definitions catch up with whatever had infected the system in the first place.

I do not believe Offline Defender can do this anymore, so this exact approach is probably no longer doable. I also do not do family IT anymore, so I have not had to do this since Win7's heyday.

You could link locally, or you could opt not to use them. Or you could restrict dynamic linking to these special cases.
The article is from May 2019. Chenoweth has a paper published in April 2020 (see: https://carrcenter.hks.harvard.edu/files/cchr/files/CCDP_005...) where she hedges on the 3.5% rule. For example, one of her "key takeaways" at the top of the paper is:

New research suggests that one nonviolent movement, Bahrain in 2011-2014, appears to have decisively failed despite achieving over 6% popular participation at its peak. This suggests that there has been at least one exception to the 3.5% rule, and that the rule is a tendency, rather than a law.

Let's say I have $1000 on a Lebanese bank account. If it's true what they say that they actually spent a good fraction of my money that means that the number is fake, and I actually have only a faction of that ($100?). In fact when I want to actually take it out the bank would give me say $100 but decrease the amount in my deposit by 1000.

But, does it matter? If people inside Lebanon could still transact with the "fake" amounts with bank wires and card payments and whatnot, the illusion would work as long as no interaction with the external world (International wires, and cash transactions)

I feel the same way, yet I still use it.

I would love a fast terminal that supported the tmux-like splits/panes and flexible keybindings and dropped all the exotic stuff. In particular, the custom termcap stuff I have to do with kitty when ssh-ing is enough to motivate me to switch.
the primary issue is in what tone the message is sent. i consider it reasonable to expect polite and friendly interaction. freedom of speech does not give anyone the right to hurt someones feelings.

if the software is bad, don't use it. if it is dangerous (you could loose work when you use it) then be explicit about the danger. "your software is bad" is a rather useless criticism. tell me why. tell me which alternative is better. tell me what would make my software better. but don't just tell me to stop promoting it, because that is not your place to say.
That is exactly what I said and why i said that assertion was dubious; why should a scientist claim that EVERYBODY thinks Mozart is good music? Or pretend to imply that it is objectively good without for EVERYBODY?
We're running out of something though, or some combination of things. Otherwise you wouldn't have such accelerating inequality and popular unrest.

Considering the complexity that shared libraries add over static linking: yes absolutely.
It may feel that way but I think the commenter hit the nail on the head. The 3.5% of the population that the ruling group cares a out isn't 3.5% of some cities pop or even regions pop. It's all their constituents. I wonder if Hong Kong and Catalan had broad support outside of their local region if the outcome would be difference.

I wonder about the Scottish independence movement. Brexit could be an example where it was much higher than 3.5% but the outcome was close to the other direction.
I think it's mostly because of how aggressive and one-way tesla is. My 6-year-old volt can probably get firmware updates over the air, but I've never stepped into my car to discover that the emergency blinkers are now hidden, the windshield wipers are now on the other side of the column, and my battery has been limited to only 60% of what I bought because telsa flipped the wrong bit 4 years ago and two owners back and has decided to "remedy" my experience.
I mean, the whole shtick of Find My (iPhone) is that someone can’t use it if they steal it, even if they do a DFU reset to factory settings. This makes it incredibly unattractive for would-be criminals to start stealing iPhones unless they have a way to ship them to China for parts disassembly.

If a similar E2E security system existed for the tractors, the aggressors might’ve simply torched them instead of using them to better their own efforts.
I don't see what does it to differently from usual keyboards, other than letters flying all around the screen, which don't add any new functionality. Maybe video just doesn't cover that? What's different about your keyboard, what can it do better that your typical Gboard can't?
This. If we'd just statically link executables, we wouldn't need Docker. Docker is a solution for a problem that only exists because of dynamic linking, and the tool's popularity should be a wakeup call.
I used to feel the same way. In an ideal world all packages would be automated and developers would have a way to alert packaging tools that a new version is release, so that it can be run through CI/CD and users would get new packages almost instantaneously without any breaking changes.

However, until that happens there is nothing wrong with shared libraries. They exist for good reason. They save bandwidth and ensure that you're not getting old libraries.

> It's NOT about right - it's about demand.

Sure, that's fair. I'm really reacting to arguments about gentrification, where people do talk about "rights" to stay in a particular neighborhood that apparently get passed via genetic material.

> I'm very clearly saying that food is fungible

My point is that the reason "fungibility" is important is actually because it impacts supply: there aren't just 100k houses vs 100k households, there are actually 10k houses with some desirable property (close to where most people work, sufficiently large to raise children, whatever) vs 50k households willing to pay a premium for that desirable property. Your point about fungibility doesn't change the conversation about supply and demand, it's just a partial explanation of the mismatch.
