I will attempt to tell you about one of my favorite movies, Back to the Forward-Time. It is about a high school boy who is friends with a funny man with a very good brain. The man is a doctor, but he is not the kind of doctor who fixes hurt people. One day the doctor has a crazy idea and he uses twenty and ten years to build a small thing with a lot of power to make people move through time. He puts the thing into a very cool car. But to get some money to change the car, he gives some things with no use to some angry men. The angry men learn about this and kill the doctor - oh no! They want to kill the boy too, but he gets in the car and begins to drive - and then he goes back in time twenty and ten years!

In the past, the boy meets with the doctor, but of course the doctor is younger at that time. The doctor learns that the boy has gone back in time and together they plan a way to return the boy to the time that the boy came from, which is in the forward-time. They decide they will use the power from the loud light-lines in the sky to give the car enough power to do this. While this is happening, however, the boy meets with his mother and father, who are in high school at that time, and his mother falls in love with the boy instead of his father. Oh no! If his mother and father do not fall in love, the boy will not be made! So he and his father (who does not know the boy is his son from the forward-time) make a plan to have the father help his mother so the mother will fall in love with him.

The plan does not go as it was planned because a bad kid from the high school tries to make love with the mother when she does not want it, but the father hits the bad kid and the mother is happy. They did not fall in love yet, though. But then the boy plays a rock song from the forward-time with a music stick and everyone dances and is happy, and the boy realizes that he will be made. But now he still has to go back to the forward-time! He tries to tell the doctor about the angry men who kill him, but the doctor does not want to listen. It is a good thing that the doctor made a good plan, as the boy gets in the car that can go through time and it is given power by the light-lines in the sky and the boy returns to his time.

After he returns, he finds the doctor and is sad because the doctor is dead. However, the doctor shows the boy that he wore a shirt to stop the gun-balls of the angry men and he did not die. The doctor listened to what the boy had said in the past after all! The boy also learns that his father has done better business than had before, so it looks like he has changed things in time that he did not want to change… but maybe it is a good thing?

This movie came out almost twenty and twenty years ago but I still think it is a good movie today. Have you seen it?
That’s all fine, but you didn’t need to straight up lie. You cannot really justify it. Good luck to you with it, but know that you don’t need to lie. It’s not a clone.

> With Anki, I stop immediately. No real world user is installing software like that on their device, the homepage just screams virus to someone unfamiliar with opensource.

That’s a huge generalization. I’m a really world user and I use it heavily. I know many non-technical friends who use it as well. It screams virus for the ignorant. Don’t appeal to the lowest common denominator.

For me it wasn't about being next to a road but just to compensate for a bad microphone.

After using RNNoise directly, now I use EasyEffects with a preset I found here: https://gist.github.com/MateusRodCosta/a10225eb132cdcb97d7c4...

It reduces the background noise to be barely noticeable.
I think this is it. Some people are into owning fancy sports cars that they don't actually drive, building high-end gaming computers but not playing games, or buying vintage cameras but not using them to take pictures (note: I'm guilty of #2 and #3). It's basically being a collector who appreciates what's special about something, even if you don't actually use it much.
And even at that rate, it crippled our healthcare system. Huge staffing issues remain. It has been absolutely brutal for everyone employed in the hospitals. Many doctors and nurses have quit.
Yep, DDG admists this (blog post from a few weeks back).
When DDG first started, most of their results came from Yandex IIRC.
Yeah, It's kind of odd at first sight. As all keys are programmable, so the left 8 keys(the left two columns) could be anything you want, eg F1- f8.

Arrow keys are compact, it could be a problem for users prefer some buffer. For users who are familiar with ansi 60/65, that should be fine.

BTW, Microsoft Natural shape is great! Love it too.
Great questions which I ask my self as well from time to time.

I write without the intend to generate much engagement. But sometimes you are the first to write on a small topic or problem and then people find your site and link it in forums. That definitely feels nice because you see that you are able to help others without much effort.

When I receive emails it is often regarding specific implementation details on my work or stuff that I referenced. Others are just sending a note that they found something really helpful or liked some of my photography.
And then there people who think that you really enjoy solving their problems for them.

In general I like any interaction with anyone who wants to discuss topics that I wrote about. It is not that common that two people have exactly the same problem or have an interest on the same topic AND they make the effort to write an email about it to someone. I learned quite a lot from others this way.

However for my personal peace of mind I never view the Webserver statistics to see the number of page views. I did that in the past but it changed my motivation to be rather extrinsic and my mood to be rather pessimistic. I ditched social media exactly because of this toxic quantification of my personal work. I recommend to you the same because, especially in the beginning, the number of page views that are not yours will be 0. That is something that should not bother you.

For anyone who is interested, here is my small Hugo based site: https://ayeks.de/

I was also surprised to see so much exposed soil, without so much as a cover crop. Perhaps we witnessed some transitionary state for the farm?
This is fascinating to me. I have been a unix user since 1994 and I have carried my dotfiles around with me. I almost never edit them. Things like "oh-my-zsh" just look to me like supply chain attacks as a service. What is the benefit of these dotfile schemes?
After years of playing RTS and 4x strategy games, I feel that this aspect of conflict has been gravely underexplored! (except for Factorio maybe)
Right, but some can infer your types with much less manual input than in Java or C++. Rust does more automatically. Or actually C++ is the most automatic if you really abuse templates, but the compiler error messages become impossible to read.

If the fork is using github, there's going to be lots of trails back to your project. Especially if you continue to update, and they don't, it'll show this branch is 30 commits behind your branch, etc... That's often a good indicator that I should check out your branch... even if the fork got better PR.

The suggestion to do an AMA in the post seems pretty decent too.
State encapsulation is useful insofar as, if you wanted to write a proof that those pieces of state were only ever set correctly (eg using a statechart), you can now do that.

OOP languages never actually include this because nobody seems to particularly care if their code actually works.
Can you elaborate? I'd love to have have more arguments for why FP is not the holy grail it's sometimes made out to be!

Some Lisp advocates may tell you that Lisp even does not have hygienic macros. Lisp dialects like Scheme have. Lisp usually has procedural macros, which transform source code (in the form of nested lists), not ASTs (like Nim).

That Nim has 'powerful hygienic macros' is fine, many languages have powerful macros.

I'm not an epidemiologist, but I've written code for people in various fields. I knew code, they knew the domain. All of them knew things that I would have fucked up, if I had tried to write the code with just my programming knowledge and my big brain, without their domain knowledge and experience.

A university education teaches you something.

I assume that epidemiology is like the other university fields — when lay people come and show that the epidemiologists are wrong about epidemiology, they're about as likely to be right as the people who write to maths professors claiming to have found a method of trisecting an angle. And the people with the novel claim and the missing education bear the burden of proof.
Jokes to the side, I find that writing this way is like how I change my speaking to be easier for people who do not learn this word-set when they were a child, or when I speak the word-set that I did not learn as a child and in which I do not know many words. It is very interesting and makes my brain work in a fun way.

Sorry Knuth, but 64-bit pointers are good for security (PAC and guard regions), performance (tagged pointers), and it saves memory to not have 32 and 64 bit versions of the system libraries.

It can be good to store indexes instead of pointers if you want to shrink a field though.

The article is hypocritical. On the one hand, it said that weaponizing environmental laws was bad. Yet later on in the article, it celebrates weaponizing the laws when it has the effect of stopping projects the authors were against, namely highways and the Keystone project. So typical of the times we live in and so not self aware.
Well, found some logging indicating it was an issue with op-locks, so I turned those off on the server and hoping that helps

Sounds like advertizing gospel to me.

It implies that people aren't actively looking for better solutions to their problems, which is just blatantly false.

If industries spent all of their marketing budget on research and development, we'd live in a very different world. Maybe even a better one. A world where companies aren't asking "how can we fool people into buying more of what we're already making" and instead ask "what can we make that's so good it practically sells itself?"

Quality always rises to the top. That's a law of nature.
When these two words have been very obviously selected and added in purpose to make people believe that web3 is the future (when all it is is a pitiful attempt at both hijacking a term and a pitiful attempt at getting people to pay for literally any interaction online) and that anyone not having access to it is in the past, yes.

Seeing the numbers in this thread (even for Germany) and comparing to the UK is frankly depressing.

My experience matches everyone else in this sub-thread, £650/day for years and finally reached £700/day. But as these are short term projects it averages to less. For 15 years experience it's not great.

Would definitely appreciate a more in-depth commentary on 'fibres' vs coroutines. Since it seems like there is a difference in 'scheduling' and Wren is using fibres. What are the pros and cons?
The core illusion of OOP is that it makes the design of large-scale system simpler by hiding away the complexity behind the facade of objects exchanging messages.

When in fact you can have architecturally separated modules without objects just fine, and all objects bring is the complexity of finite state machines talking to each other via complex message protocols.

Sometimes you indeed need some virtual dispatching, but most of the time procedure is a better abstraction, and function is even better. Instead of making complex parts of the system simpler, OOP usually makes simple parts complex.

Hence the need for frameworks. In functional or procedural worlds people just take libraries and glue them together. In OOP world it's nearly impossible because of how complicated object protocols are, so if you have objects from different libraries, you'll most likely need to write lots and lots of facades. Hence OOP evolved towards megalibraries which have it all.

> Lets hope your not in charge of building that new complex air traffic control system, bank lending system, or large inventory management system.

Many of these are doing fine being written in procedural style though.
There's plenty of room at the bottom. (pm would be next).
That’s my point, NASA could have used the money to build a reusable heavy lift system that is reusable and can launch more than once per year. Everything SLS is not. An incapable system that was billed as being flight ready in 2016. Who knows when the next one ever will be. What a disaster.

When were we ever talking about flow restrictors?

You were defending a market-based solution to water usage, which I asserted would be inequitable and therefore immoral.

Flow restrictors are pretty anti-market, and I think they're a great solution to penalizing those who repeatedly break the rules.
I agree with all your points on management roles and had all the same reasons when I left management to go back to being an IC. I'll be interested to know how it works out for you. I'd posted a while back about choosing to go back to IC and getting repeatedly pushed back into management given the experience.
To put it bluntly, if you're not "so good they can't ignore you", you need very good communication skills to promote your work. I would ask people close to me for feedback/advice on that.
The SLS won't land people on the moon either. A completely unrelated rocket system that doesn't rely on the SLS in any way is used for that. SLS is totally redundant.
Snow Crash is probably the one formative book that made me who I am. I bought this book in the English section of a Norwegian bookstore while on a bike trip there. I was just out of school and I had not decided yet what to do with my life. My English was just barely good enough to understand Snow Crash.

At its essence, Snow Crash introduced me to the idea of hacking. That is, hacking in the abstract sense of using knowledge about the inner workings of things to influence the world. At the time, I didn't know anything about software yet. Even though the main hero of the book is a master hacker and part of the book plays out in cyber space, it never really talks about the act of writing code. I would learn about that later.

Snow Crash was my red pill. Re-reading it today, after having been a professional software engineer for a number of years, I can't overstate how influential this book has been in my life. It instilled in me the desire to understand the deep structures of things. And with that, the ability to influence and create the world around me. It set me on the path to becoming who I am today.

Snow Crash also served as my introduction to modern utopian cyberpunk. Even though I spent my youth playing video games and reading bad sci-fi, I still remember Snow Crash as my formal introduction to cyber space, virtual avatars, megacorporations, and light cycle races. And it told of the awesome power of reason.

It's the opposite, lambda is the ultimate GOTO.
There are good reasons that those contracts aren't that harsh. There aren't a lot of contractors able to bid on these jobs at all in the first place. If the government forces them to shoulder all the considerable risk, there either won't be any bidders, or after winning some contracts and blowing them there won't be any contractors left standing.

And "total mission success" isn't the only goal of these programs. Progress in manufacturing and engineering is a considerable factor.

Governments, like big banks, are better at taking on risk than most businesses or individual persons. That's how health care works in most civilized countries, disaster relief and other things. And expensive space programs had to be started by governments because they were too risky with too little benefit, and in some respects this is still the case.
> In OOP world it's nearly impossible because of how complicated object protocols are, so if you have objects from different libraries, you'll most likely need to write lots and lots of facades.

That's not a direct result of OOP. Languages can have extension functions or type classes or delegation to address this. And it's not like the problem magically goes away for procedural code.
Really, you're arguing about the email in a traceroute CV being somewhat ambiguous? Having to traceroute the thing is going to be a much bigger filter. And it's quite clear if you just read it out as spoken text and then try to get the address from that. Really, anyone actually interested in contacting the guy will manage just fine.

Can someone make a solid case as to why the calendar has to follow astronomical events in a post-literate, largely non-agrarian, society?

When literacy rates were low, and many people were farmers, it was important to be able to easily anchor schedules to the seasons. Having May 30 always be the right time to start planting your crunchberry crop was a viable oral-tradition thing.

But in an industrial society, we can fairly easily publish "peak season for crunchberries this year starts June 6" even if that's five days earlier than last year.

Then we can pick, say, a 360-day year with no leap-nothing for ease of record keeping.

There are some activities that might legitimately be seasonal-- you don't want the kids playing $active_sport when it's 45C outside, so we might need to realign their calendars each year, but not a huge deal breaker. Reggie Jackson could be "Mr. When The Afternoon High is 28C" instead of "Mr. October."

Lisp has quite a bit more syntax, since it has a two stage syntax. The first stage is a syntax for data, called s-expressions. The parentheses are a part of that data syntax. Examples for s-expressions:

12
1/3
rome
(rome is a city in italy)
(rome (city . italy) (capital-of italy))
(rome local-name "Roma")

and more. The s-expression syntax is extensible via reader macros.

Lisp programs then are made out of s-expressions and there is a syntax for Lisp. Additionally the Lisp syntax is extensible via macros.

Example:

(let ((a 10)
(b 10))
(declare (integer a b))
(+ a b))

Above is a LET expression for spanning a local lexical scope for variables.

The syntax for LET would be (in some kind of EBNF notation):

let ({var | (var [init-form])}*)
declaration*
form*

With then more syntax for DECLARATION, FORM, ...

The world has many places with different speaking words and tongues. Without spending a lot of time studying and learning new words for things, you can only understand your own tongue and your own words. This is sad since there are so many people you can never talk to. They don't know your words and you don't know theirs.

Maybe one day every "different word" speaking place will make it easy for those that do not know how to speak their words. They can promise to use only one hundred of their own words and no more. Then we will each only need to learn their one hundred words to talk to them. Something we can easily do in one week.

Imagine the feeling of being able to talk to them finally. All without a computer.

Let us learn to speak different words together.
On-orbit refueling is neither very complex nor untried.
SLS isn't redundant. SLS+Orion is a system that is trusted and certified to put Humans into LEO and then lunar orbit.

The "completely unrelated rocket" will not be certified to launch Humans in time. The modified Starship that is used as a lander will undergo some certification, but ferrying Humans from lunar surface to lunar orbit is a lot less difficult and risky than blasting off of Earth.
