Yeah... subs like these are the reason I've recently stopped visiting Reddit after more than a decade. Now that /r/popular includes many subs like these ones, Reddit has become an outrage factory, a karma whoring circus and dystopic popularity contest to get upvoted with the least amount of effort put into one's comment.

Here's the thing. Reddit has had its Eternal September 10 years ago, we need a name for the second phase where it's not just college kids but everybody and their twitter-using grandma start invading a platform, and it descends into complete social media chaos made of outrage, likes, upvotes, politics, and terrible, terrible discourse.

Maybe I'm just too old for that place, but I'm still into funny and/or irreverent content and memes. Reddit ain't it anymore. It's turned into an echo-chamber of idiocracy.

Ah, the "there's no kill like overkill" idea.

Quoting from TVTropes[1]:-

> Much, much more common in fiction (especially of the 'revenge fantasy' type) than in Real Life violence. To a strategist, overkill is Awesome, but Impractical because the risk of enemy survival is vastly outweighed by the certainty that you're spending a fortune in time, material, and (usually) manpower to ensure the enemy's death. The weaker and less numerous the target, the more wasteful overkill is.

I would add "or the more geographically dispersed" before "the enemy is".

I'm not saying that it's not weird you can't get 32GB. I agree that's a problem.

I just don't understand why these things have to take up so much memory. Why does it need to be all in-memory? How slow would it really be if you put some of that on disk?

At the risk of sounding like a very grumpy old man: I still remember being able to build code with VC++6 and less than 1G of RAM, with a full desktop running. Nowadays it's like I cannot even compile a project with less than 8G of RAM in a terminal without risking a kernel freeze. What happened?

Meh.
I want to develop Python at 80 characters per line, inside vim. I enjoy the elegance and simplicity and frankly the whole culture around it.

Libraries, ecosystems and actual business reasons that matter aside, if I cannot have that, I would rather use something like Kotlin instead.

PHP does it better. Types are an add-on, but integrated into the interpreter. Also it has never been pretty in the first place, so nothing was lost.
The last part about preconditions/assumptions isn't specific to constructive logic; it's about backwards-chaining proof tactics; for example, applying the `ring` tactic in Coq will tell us to prove that the given structure is a ring (see the Errors section of https://coq.inria.fr/refman/addendum/ring.html#concrete-usag... )

The reason constructive logic is nice for this is the first part: we'll be given a counterexample, or a total algorithm for generating counterexamples, etc. (depending on the nature of the statement and its quantifiers). This is preferable to classical logics, where an automated prover might tell us "false", but we have no idea why.

Sure, I don't disagree and it's silly/illegal when it happens, but this doesn't mean you can't protect yourself (sometimes without much more effort) to prevent damage or even just more effort. I think most people have spoken to a support agent who said they'd cancel a phone/broadband contract, or worse, had to do something slightly off script and then confirmed that the agreed XYZ would happen?

Regularly XYZ does not happen, or not exactly in the way you agreed. They cancel your broadband too late, or your internet starts a few weeks too late, etc. You can try to get compensation, or even sue, but some of the damage has already been done at that point. While this okay for temporarily overpaying broadband, this is probably not the case for a company's main production system, where the risk is very high. The company might not even survive to sue.

What energy and fertilizer inputs does it depend upon?

It used to be that farming produced more calories than it consumed, thanks to solar input. With the advent of industrialized farming, topsoil loss has resulted in large swaths of land that can no longer be farmed without constant fertilizer, water and fuel (for machinery) inputs.

It is in fact a coherent story and also seems like something you would actually see on LinkedIn. Obviously went with maximum cringe.
Unfortunately, when they deactivate the account, they lose any ability to communicate with the customer. Anyone who emails claiming to be the customer may or may not be the same person.

That works both ways - as well as not being able to get the customers permission to keep the data, they also would not be able to get the customers request to delete the data if they were to keep it 'just in case'.

Until they have built some functionality to communicate with the customer behind a suspended account, they have to delete the data within 30 days.

But that's not a function of the language itself. If there were SQL debuggers you could step through a big query with, debugging SQL would be a lot easier. As it is, you often have to take the whole damn thing apart from the inside to see what's going on, then put it all back together again. That's... suboptimal, to say the least.

Why feel bad? Watch other growing companies pitch and crash. I suspect it is harder to sell when you have a little traction. . . Easier to sell vapour than solids ;)
Yes, you should take it seriously, and in the US this would be several issues, some of which are in the employer's favor federally, and some parts like whether - - you can compete or not - are regulated at the state level.

California notoriously voiding the anti-compete language so well that you can still comfortably sign a contract with the anti-compete language because you know its unenforceable. (This is seen as a key part of California's tech industry growth.)

Thank you for the feedback, I'm not at all an academic, so I'm curious as to your thoughts on the article I linked to?
Well, it could be seen as accessory to many sort of frauds. But to what extent would that be more accessory than using a car for example - and looking for the car manufacturer responsability?
There are many interesting stories just floating under the surface, but the gist is that the GDR industry was actually quite competitive for singular projects right after WW2, but then fell behind in the 60's and 70's (but again with very few exceptions where the GDR remained somewhat competitive, like mechanical engineering).

For instance the first German jet airliner was being developed (but eventually cancelled) in Dresden by former Junkers engineers returning from Soviet 'captivity' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baade_152) - for background see the Soviet version of 'Operation Paperclip': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Osoaviakhim

Or the Trabant actually being a very innovative car when it first appeared: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant

Later on it became hard to separate facts from propaganda. Apparently the MKF-6 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKF-6_(multispectral_camera)) was innovative, but according to GDR propaganda it was of course superior to anything else in the world ;)

The East German chip manufacturing industry also was actually quite impressive for its time, even though it was 5..10 years behind the state of the art, but at least there was a domestic chip manufacturing industry.
Which jurisdiction, can you cite precedent?
OP’s lack of replies to countless comments here is making it hard to trust the credibility of this post.
I'll take the contrarian side. Why should Google allow underage nudes on their servers? There's so much wrong with this. Life's could be destroyed if their password gets cracked, the nudes leaked/sold. As a company I wouldn't touch this dumpsterfire with a stick.
> Is this sort of thing actually enforceable?

I feel like this question is kind of moot. If this company goes as far as putting it into the contract, they may try to fire/sue you even if it's not enforceable. Do you want to spend time in the court and money on a lawyer even if you'd win? If not, either comply or tell the company to take a hike.

>Characters and dialogue are effectively solved, just look at GPT-3.

Is this the motherload of exaggeration?

Current language models cannot generate coherent dialog (and even then it's mostly bad dialog) spanning more than a minute or two. And their current capabilities in that area are definitely significantly below those of the average human writer.
Great job! Probably the best toolkit for DIY data extraction at the moment. Shines most "against" super-sophisticated sites. Well done, guys!
whats the point of Stipe Tax anyway? they solve only the trivial part (calculating how much VAT is due for a transaction), while ignoring the hard part (actually paying the VAT to hundreds of tax offices in countries all around the world). despite only solving the trivial part that any developer can do in a day, they take another huge chunk of your revenue. seems like a bad deal.
I agree regarding SQL views - it's probably the most frequently used way of reusing SQL code.

> And even across vastly different domains, even if not directly reusable, SQL queries are still highly transferable.

That's the point, they are probably transferable in the "copy, paste and tweak" sense which would be highly frowned upon in other popular languages.

> But which data/processing related tasks is SQL a very poor fit for?

I specifically called SQL "a DSL for data processing", I probably should have written "there are many domains that SQL is a very poor fit for" to be more clear.

>In my experience it's much more common to actually see the opposite - inefficient usage of ORMs, exporting datasets only to then perform pre/postprocessing, often requiring building programming "jigs" to circumvent bottlenecks, etc when it could've been done in a more streamlined manner in the DB/warehouse.

Totally agree. Lukas Eder has some nice presentations about it.
Also legal side here.

I totally concur to your view. The issue would be the level of complicity in the offense of TC hosts... which will not be studied in theory by analysts studying the code, but by investigators looking at mails, meetings, money, interviewing people, etc.

Tech bros tend to forget that there are real people on the side of Law enforcement and that they can actually investigate in a very real and traditional manner, with surprisingly good results.

They mention C++ quite often, it seems like they plan to become more than an Apple-first language. If Swift had been designed to be cross platform first and then had optional, but well supported and official "ObjcInterop" and "ApplePlatform" modules it could have taken a serious portion of Go and Rust's market share. But as it is nobody outside the Apple ecosystem is even considering it.

As to "Val", there is inout (and sink set) which Herb Sutter also suggested for C++ to replace all the &ref, const ref&, *ptr, and value parameter mess which to a degree Rust also inherited.

The default let parameters (const ref&) is also what Carbon defaults to. And with explicit copies there are now destructive moves as in Rust. They write "Our goals overlap substantially with that of Rust and other commendable efforts, such as Zig or Vale" - a wasted opportunity to mention "Rust" in the title here!

I just think the fun keyword is silly and the wrong width, just use fn already! But I like any language where reference and value semantics are not hidden behind compiler magic.
Apple will have an AR or VR headset, and we will start ditching traditional displays for VR.

Meta will have recovered from their current issues and will be their main competitor.

I think Apple could have a big advantage because their processors could allow more powerful things in a standalone VR headset compared to the current Generation where you need a external PC for most CPU and GPU intensive tasks.

That's true. But the thing with technology, and the reason we've kept up with Moore's law is that someone eventually has a bright idea that leaves current methods and improvement extrapolation in the dust, and then the real thing happens earlier than the most optimistic dates, and performs better than what people expected.
The question is not if one day an AI can generate a movie that you can't differentiate from a human-made movie. The question is how long will it take for an AI generated movie to be better than all the human-made movies in history, if it's possible at all it'll happen much sooner than people think possible.

Hey. I'm a co-founder at Nowala. You are definitely correct in stating that we're not interested in charity. As someone who has lived in West Africa and has many family members living in these villages, I can say that charity is not the answer to every problem. We believe in giving these individuals equal access to the opportunities afforded by the financial markets.

Great question on the lifespan and returns! The lifespan is 5 years. The break even period you're referring to are for homes in rich nations that have high energy consumption and use inverters for A/C appliances. They're extremely expensive and not useful for people in the villages of Sierra Leone. The loans provided through Nowala help people in the villages get access to units that are actually affordable for them over a two year period and meet their very limited energy consumption needs. You can check out the solar panel details here: https://www.engineeringforchange.org/solutions/product/sun-k....

Also good questions on repair. We partner with solar panel distributors on the ground in Africa. They actually run existing businesses in a fast growing industry that enables people without energy access to get electricity through solar. Our partner in Sierra Leone, Ignite Power has installed over 100K solar panels across Africa. If a solar panel breaks, they handle the maintenance.

Some Rules for Primary Keys
Mach more than helped:

"Mach 3 (Figure B.1) moves the BSD code outside
of the kernel, leaving a much smaller microkernel. This system implements
only basic Mach features in the kernel; all UNIX-specific code has been evicted
to run in user-mode servers. Excluding UNIX-specific code from the kernel
allows replacement of BSD with another operating system or the simultaneous
execution of multiple operating-system interfaces on top of the microkernel.
In addition to BSD, user-mode implementations have been developed for DOS,
the Macintosh operating system, and OSF/1. This approach has similarities to
the virtual-machine concept, but the virtual machine is defined by software
(the Mach kernel interface), rather than by hardware."
