> If you believe that diabetics cannot be vegan, then that’s a separate and equally untrue argument.

Where did I say that? I didn’t. I was referring specifically to the ADA incorrect suggestion for decades that high carbohydrate foods are ok and encouraged for type 2 diabetics. I did not make a meat vs non-meat absolutist statement. It was more a high carb vs low carb absolutist statement. If you are a vegan T2 diabetic who only eats avocados, cabbage, broccoli, and olives…good for you.

My comments were actually specific the commenter who expressed concern about relying on “general consensus” as an argument for reliability of dietary advice and used the ADA example. I backed them up and it’s completely appropriate to this little thread in the discussion.

I suspect most standup comedians are in a similar boat, so to speak. You keep failing until you succeed. You can't keep your audiences recycling only the same old jokes over and over, you need to keep writing new ones, tuning them over and over at small gigs so that you've got enough material that works for the bigger shows.

More than just failing, though, I think the lesson is learning to tolerate failure, and learning from it so that you can try again.
I really think this just comes from the fact that most startups are either:

1) from California

and/or 2) have founders that worked in California

and/or 3) raised money from VCs in California

I'm all on-board with it being better to be an optimist than a pessimist, and also on-board that destructive criticism doesn't really "serve" anyone.

But there's just this rampant over-optimism like nowhere I've experienced.

The culture of "we are awesome" to me - is culture of California.

I prefer California culture over doom and gloom and pessimism - but a little more reality, I think, is welcome.

The thing that rubbed off on me about California that I'm really grateful for is to always start with the positive. I'm definitely a happier person from getting absorbed into that culture.

But I think when you get to the point where you just completely ignore or don't speak about the negatives, it's not really helpful anymore. It's just delusion.
Programming languages are tools. You can pretty much do anything in any language. Arguing about which language is more "powerful" is like arguing whether a screwdriver or a nail gun is more powerful.

I was able to manually succeed on level 8, but I have no idea how it's possible to accomplish level 9. I can't figure any way to get enough inertia or upward thrust to escape the narrow spot once I'm most of the way through it.

EDIT: and... literally on my next attempt, I made it through the narrows. It's possible.

EDIT #2: and... made it. >:D

I like the book Crucial Conversations, which tells us to avoid the "fool's choice" and be 100% honest and 100% respectful at the same time. The fool's choice is when a fool thinks something like "I can either tell the truth and be fired, or keep my mouth shut". The book teaches that with some thought you can find a way to tell the truth without being fired, etc. This is advice for an individual, but not an entire organization.

For organizations, they could at least hire a consultant / speaker to do a presentation every year on how people can effectively give negative feedback. The speaker could say "you all see bad things happening at the company, things you aren't happy about but don't want to risk speaking about, here's how you can speak about those issues without any risk". Teach people things like, studies have shown that proposing a solution along with your complaint makes it more likely to be accepted, etc. For the price of a speaker or two, you could train your company to effectively deliver and act on negative feedback. Too many people don't know how to effectively express their problems.

If someone wants to start a consultants / speaking tour you can have this idea.

Thank you, that gives the needed context.
Distinguish the concept of a credit score system with the particular implementation of one used in the US today. If your friend Bob, who's never asked to borrow money from you before, asked to borrow $100 from you today and promised he'd pay it back in a week, what would your answer be? Would your answer change if you knew that last month, he said the same thing to 6 of his other friends and never paid any of them back? If that would make you tell him no, then you do support the concept of a credit score system. There's definitely a lot of problems with our current credit score system, but it's way less bad than not having one at all, in a world where almost everyone needs to borrow money to be able to buy a house or car.

Yes it has. For example JET achived 16 MW of fusion power output in 1997. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_European_Torus)

Its successor, ITER is supposed to produce more energy than used in creating the fusion process. It is still under construction in France.
In my memory it was Batman Begins (2005) that had if bad and started the trend, but you’re right about the first Bourne movie (2002) being somewhere near the start (as far as tent pole movies go).

At any rate it’s a super lazy crutch for bad choreography. Contrasted with something like the Indiana jones airplane fight scene with its wide shots of the action is like night and day.
It's sad that the most obvious option is missing: try to find out why the speaker/other people in the room think it's interesting.
I had a similar experience once with a quadraphonic receiver from the 70s. When I went to pick it up the shop owner gave me the schematics and said he’d never seen anything that complex before. It was probably a dozen or more pages long. Even the AM/FM receiver dial pulley diagram was complex. I wanted to use it as a pet project but ultimately gave it away due to other priorities and lack of space.

It wasn’t completely broken though! Various features just didn’t work. The whole system was insane. Each speaker cabinet had (iirc) 15” subs in it. Nowadays we have Atmos height speakers that are marketed as something completely new but these speakers had vertically oriented treble horns even back then. Modern speakers certainly have frequency response, efficiency, and compactness going for them, but to this day I’ve never heard any consumer system (I used to sell them in college) that loud. I rarely turned the volume past three (out of ten). I was only brave enough to briefly turn it up to seven once. When I did lights I’d never seen work illuminated. I felt Led Zeppelin in my chest.
You're complaining that you can't shit on other people. I'm complaining that people don't shit on themselves.

In the office: 1-2 hours wasted on commute. Access to espresso machine. Open-plan cube farm with neighbors talking loudly all day and office dogs sporadically barking -- no opportunity for deep focus. Random shitty interactions with the public and officemates. Ergonomic desk setup, bad remote-meeting setup, bad audio setup (headphones). Get home at dinner time, cook while hangry and impatient. Occasional productive whiteboard sessions.

At home: Private office with a door (typically unused) and window with a lovely view. My coffee is better. Girlfriend to have lunch with, quiet cat who cuddles in my office. Ample opportunity for deep focus. No commute. Time to prep dinner during lunch break, relaxed and pleasant time to cook before dinner time. Interactions with co-workers are planned and work-related. Highly customized, ergonomic desk setup, great remote-meeting setup, great audio setup. Whiteboard collaboration is non-existent.

Almost every point about the office amounts to a daily pile-on of stress. I never knew how much that was impacting me until it was removed. Occasionally going in for whiteboarding is a nice opportunity to make and maintain peer relationships, but I'm never going back to full-time office work.
That do you mean by "working fusion"? This is a weapons research program wearing a very thin figleaf as a kinda sorta maybe possible power generation option. And fusion weapons have existed for decades - so nothing that nivel here.
You might consider, instead of creating a new language, providing a set of macros that expand the syntax of a well developed language that has a macro preprocessor. (It’s almost literally trivial in Lisp.)
Why do startups(tech companies) need so many employees? My first thought is that because of the rapid growth startups are plugging inefficient holes with more brains.

There’s a big difference between the people in control of a company back-patting everyone when employees’ livelihoods are actually in danger, and back-patting an individual for sharing their personal projects and experiences in good faith even if they have a lot of room for improvement.

While obviously true, I think it's also useful to distinguish where items in category b fall on the spectrum from "this will be commercially viable with minor refinement" to "this is three orders of magnitude away from commercial viability and we don't even have a theoretical path to get there".

AFAIK energy generation with ICF is much closer to the latter than the former.

Well you should definitely be commuting by bike or public transportation. Don't know why you would think that wasn't in the cards.

Road trips? Why are you taking them in a personal vehicle? Because there isn't competent public transportation.

Notes:

> value = fn1() error { return }

Allow for Error short circuits. This has slowing been adopted by other languages - An error can be handled/or not and continue cleanly without crashing anything (erlang style) or typed semantics (Java style). Go can return an error message, as part of the multi-return semantics, similarly allowing for error short circuits. Because of Bolin's multiple return semantics, you can implement this pattern as well, but it's nice to not bake it in.

The for-loop conditional exit handlers are novel enough.

Some unique syntax choices, like .= for assign and mutable/immutable assignment dynamically is great. Ponylang has typed containers that act similarly, but they are not dynamically declared.

I know I've seen lazy type signatures before, but I don't remember where. So I'd consider it novel enough to note:
ie you don't need to specify int every param -> add(int a, b) and implicit void on main()

I can't speak to under-the-hood compiler optimizations, but there's a little bit here and there that's interesting.

P.S. Typo in: https://bolinlang.com/quickstart/basics
//you don't need to specificy int every param

Ruby has "expr if cond" and is very readable. I use it all the times if cond is short.

I like the _OnBreak _OnComplete _OnEmpty . I think they simplify some loops and make those found_something variables go away. However I don't like that they start with an underscore. It feels so old (C and Python, which was designed at the end of the 80s.)

Case conventions are a little strange, something is lower case (main, for), something is camel case, something are upper case (methods?)

= := .= could be a little confusing. Why not only one? The compiler should know what to do because of the mut, out keywords.

Am I mistaken in understanding that this was the price paid for a prototype, and so included the cost of designing it, etc?

>City officials hired a Bay Area industrial firm to custom-design the pricey trash can along with two other prototypes that cost taxpayers $19,000 and $11,000 each. This summer, residents have the opportunity to evaluate them along with three off-the-shelf options added to the pilot program after officials faced criticism.

Last month, the city deployed 15 custom-made trash cans and 11 off-the-shelf trash cans — each of those costing from $630 to $2,800 — with QR codes affixed to them asking residents to fill out a survey. City officials said they intend to pay no more than $3,000 per can.

Years ago I felt that programmers didn't need unions because we are so in-demand and already highly paid. Then the whole "no poaching" scandal came out, and now I definitely do think we need some sort of union-ish something. I hate to say it because many of the individuals are actually good people, but the managers/execs as a class are amoral bastards who will do whatever they think they can get away with to make a buck. To me the extraordinary thing is that Apple has more money than Scrooge McDuck and still screwed over their own engineers.

It reminds me of the scene from the Simpsons: Homer and Mr. Burns are chilling together in what will become the rocket-house:

Homer: Oh Mr. Burns, you're the richest man I know.

Mr. Burns: Ah yes, but I'd trade it all... for a little more.
A classic argument is future sales are equivalent enough to be an asset. So as long as your balance sheet including future sales is growing faster than your income sheet is shrinking, its "OK".

There's a lot of assuming spherical cows going on. If the bean counters like the result when the average customer is milked for six years until having to replace them, that's great, unless customer service is so awful the average customer is gone in six months, or a competitor comes along in two years and wipes you out, market changes evaporate the revenue stream in five years, etc.

BTW this is the housing bubble in a nutshell. Lets say you buy a shack for half a mil at 6% for 30 years which from memory is almost exactly $3K/month. Not because you would, but because these are engineering estimates with very round numbers that are easy to memorize. Anyway, you'll spend 30 years in a row with a negative income statement of losing $36K per year on that shack. Actually you'll lose a ton more money due to maint, taxes, insurance, PMI, remodeling, appliances, whatever else. But who cares about the income statement, because if the total losses over 30 years are a bit over a million, if on the balance sheet the asset goes up to five million because interest rates only go down and real estate only goes up (until it doesn't, LOL) over the same time frame you can cash out for four million net gain? Of course if the shack only goes up to a million because its not in a bubble area like Arizona or whatever, you've not quite broken even, or god forbid if it only goes up to 3/4 of a mil you've lost quite a large life changing sum of money.
Yes, dynamic libraries save a descent amount of bandwidth when installing packages. Also, for the most part no I don't want the exact libraries always. If library creators have a security fix then I want the one with the fix, and there are plenty of times I've seen developers create something and barely maintain it afterwards. Package maintainers are really good at keeping packages for necessary libraries.
Have you tried Outverse?[1] It's a new startup aiming to solve this problem, with support for forum spaces, threads and more. I've been using it for some time now and would definitely recommend it!

I'm looking forward to using it for my open source project, and it solves a lot of the problems I've had with current platforms.

Those numbers were all developers overall. In the Django developers survey, which is web only, the most used platform is Linux (42%), Mac 32%, Windows with WSL 17%, and straight up Windows is a paltry 12%. In other web frameworks the numbers are likely worse, since Django has a pretty good Windows experience.

One of these vulnerabilities is living in Mexico. From TFA:

So he’s being sent this true, these real pictures. And of course any Mexican will immediately get very scared, very intimidating, thinking that organized crime is behind something. You don’t want to be their target. You start fearing for your life. They have your address. They have information on your children, your wife, he’s very scared."
