I was in love with java in 00-s as my first professional language, 10 years later I’ve grown up.

The world has then moved forward to web, open source and more lightweight environments and mindsets.

But java stayed essentially the same verbose corporate heavy monster.

And i left that old, arrogant and picky lady to hang out with young, pretty and more open minded alternatives like ruby, typescript etc.

Looking back now I think i fell in love not with java, but rather the team/project i worked at and the bright future java was promising.
This is a cool project. I'm curious, do young people find this appealing?

You just said what he said, but with emphasis on 100 hour weeks for years on end being good instead of bad. Why did you disagree with me, then go on to list how much doctors work before the get to practice on their own? His point was they get too much training, with much of it being irrelevant (not all). If you're this angry and reactive, you really shouldn't be a doctor.

People here seem to love the NHS. In the UK, doctors are not forced to study something irrelevant for four years in college, then do med school, then do a 4 year residency (i.e. age 30). They are often done by age 24, and ready to help.
Sounds like it's only a matter of time until Amazon removes the ISBN and ASIN from product pages.
Nailed it. Likewise, Enterprise customers don’t demand SOC-2 and similar certifications from their vendors because they actually think that will be effective in stopping data leaks, it’s just so they can say “reasonable measure were taken to select a secure vendor.”

Any large organization, private or public, is full of checkboxes and CYA. Test proctor software is just another example.
To frame this another way since I missed part of the point on first read: the heat pump has the same maximum theoretical efficiency (Carnot efficiency) as the heat-to-electricity generator does (just in the opposite direction), and cannot exceed it. If you model the two parts independently, then in the ideal scenario, your 300% efficient component is balanced by something that physically cannot exceed 33⅓% × some-other-variable efficiency. You therefore model the system as just a heat-to-electricity generator that consumes the atmospheric heat directly at some-other-variable efficiency.

(I believe this to be accurate, but I am speaking far beyond my expertise and invite correction if I have erred.)

Most PC games of the VGA DOS era did exactly that, though.

But, well, a lot can be done in 30 cycles. If it's a 2D game, then you're mostly blitting sprites. If there's no need for translucency, each row can be reduced to a memcpy (i.e. probably REP MOVSD).

Something like Doom had to do a lot more tricks to be fast enough. Though even then it still repainted all the pixels.

Yeah I always disable search daemons/services, since I don't rely upon those features much, and likewise I also disable thumbnails on whatever file manager I use -- between the two of those that probably accounts for a lot of the slowness that builds up over time.

Another big factor is browser caches -- they degrade the storage medium and slow with age. I disable on-disk and persistent caches entirely in Firefox by setting `cache.disk.enable` to false in `about:config`. I've found that by doing all three, I prevent a lot of needless read/write/thrashing of my storage, and also increase performance a lot since there's less IO going on. With the proper configuration, I've found that any OS can stay fast over time.
>> 5. Running a node is still high cpu, ram, and network chattiness - so using a VPS to keep IPFS off your local network is still tenuous to run.

> There are configurations to mitigate this but just making a blanket statement that it's high cpu, ram, and network is just FUD.

it’s not FUD. this is the out-of-the-box experience for many users, and has been basically since its inception. i know enough about IPFS to import, retrieve, and pin content, convert between different CID formats, use the IPNS and dnslink stuff and host a gateway, configure the set of resources that gateway will serve, and so on. what i still don’t know how to do after being an IPFS user since 2015 is how to make it not noticeably bog down the typical low-end/SBC home servers lots of people in this space use for all their other p2p stuff.

it’s not FUD: perf/resource use is a real problem that is legitimately hampering adoption. try running just basic IPFS workflows on the latest gen of raspberry pi before labeling perf complaints as FUD. if you’re close to the dev team and somehow don’t understand that this isn’t FUD then setup a conference call with me and i’ll demo perf of a typical home setup for you.

>The specific behavior users posting CSAM on PornHub is unquestionably damnable (and those who posted it are the most culpable, and must suffer the most consequences). This doesn't mean PornHub is a whole is a net-bad.

No, but they need a solution. That's a point everyone here seems to be skipping over; that's a problem and needs to be fixed before they can be excused. While not in included in this situation, PornHub has a revenge porn problem as well. These have real consequences, disproportionately on young women.

>we can't culturally talk about sex comfortably and openly, when we're all made for it.

Well the problem is the conversation isn't just about healthy perspective of sex. When there's a unregulated environment where CSAM is mixed in with regular content it's anything but healthy. This is specifically an issue of appreciating the human body in a problematic and dangerous way. And unless remedied, I fail to see why they should be excused of this
I'm a US expat (live in the UK) who is thus still registered to vote in San Francisco. Do us expats a favor and post your endorsements at least 2 months early. Our postal ballots are sent early and most sites procrastinate on their voter guides. For instance I filled and mailed my ballot for the June 2022 elections on April 28th, and I wish SFGate had published their analysis of the primary race for Insurance Commissioner sooner, I would have voted against the incumbent.
As frustrating as it is, I can see how a project which occupies a bloody battleground of a common space would develop an allergy for changes which aren't universally desired. Seems like a simple proper subroutine jump would be a nice addition which no one would have to use unless they wanted to, but there are lots of things like that and eventually one of them would have something dumb go wrong.
I took a class in college where the professor made us plagiarize our entire final paper. We couldn't use a single completely original sentence. The trick was that you had to highlight and source every plagarization.

It turned out this was one of the most challenging papers I wrote in undergrad and it forced me to understand my source material on a much more intimate level.

This was 15 years ago and access to information via the internet has only intensified since then. Perhaps our educators need to reconsider from first principles how we assess students in this era.

I would be very surprised if the silicon doesn't still support 8+4+4 operation. I suspect the lack of available motherboards with this config comes down to the expense of getting a PCIe gen5 signal to reach the third slot. It may require both the extra mux and a redriver or retimer.
Of all the problems the lack of a magnetosphere feels like the most insurmountable and the most critical.

That's fucked up! I can't fathom the mindset required to scam people like that, let alone do it at an institutional scale. Good on you for taking a stand, that helps everyone in the long run.

My default reaction to being scammed is to feel ashamed. A cashier took a $10 out my change as a kid, my dad finding out and going back and confronting the clerk was painful. With experience I've gotten more (maybe too much so!) alert to scams, confidence schemes and dark patterns. A lot of them operate at a level of plausible deniability, or even subconscious action, where the person profiting doesn't have to know what's going on.

I'll concede that the comment was vague and relied too heavily on a shared intuition. Though I will admit, the reward became well played dry comedy throughout your sibling comments.

So I'll break down my reasoning a bit. It requires a full blog post to get out, so please forgive the abridged version.

Healthcare is a catch all for all the other problems of society. The top costly conditions in the US are (in order of this barely sourced article): Mental Disorders, Heart Conditions, Trauma-Related Injuries, Diabetes, Cancer, COPD and Asthma.

Every single one of these is plainly racking up unneeded costs by the daily actions of all of us. My quip on the supermarket was a remark on the total view of health (from mental to reproductive care to basic carcinogens to ...).

How many people are mindlessly scrolling on Instagram while performing another task, how many people smell of cigarettes, the marketing of 'sinful goods' (depending on the state), the near impossibility to avoid added sugar in every packaged foodstuff, the number of 'alcohol noses' you can see down a 50ft isle, the parenting of children, the smell of fossil fuel exhaust from the parking lot, the gait of the elderly, injured, or soon-to-be, the accommodations (or lack thereof) for those in wheelchairs and with living assistance, and still the primary food at checkout - And to include everyone in the conversation: think of the anyone working two jobs and has 0 time to prepare fresh food for themselves or anyone else, the eventual cost is in the habitual behaviors made in the constraints of under-compensated labor.... I could keep going and I've left out other observations contributing to other conditions but I think you understand.

The thing I'm trying to say is that there are interventions all over the place - however, the up-front costs (ignoring all else) of a 'double blind randomized trial' for every single one of them to earn the proper authority to define its relative utility to cost is unrealistic at the moment (also most governments do not allow for risk based price of care) - an economic externality.

Couple this externality behavior with a market of near perfect inelasticity for good health (and before someone comments, yes, suicide / assisted euthanasia may not be inelastic in price on this metric) - and you can't say "Healthcare is such a base layer of the economy" - an alternative analysis is "Healthcare is an externality that is priced in a government controlled market"

[Edit] I completely left out the externality of the high reward litigation industry on malpractice and all of the above conditions as evidence of harm - adding pressure on compensation to the highest paid professionals.

CF exists because of multiple rounds of huge funding -- it's useful and huge now, but it wasn't the type of company that spun up organically from a quality and voluminous customer base.

also, mysteriously, when they were trying to secure funding and gain traction they stayed apolitical; funny how that works.

good luck going around and asking for money to build a cloudflare like service whose customer base are heavily political, nuanced, and un-profitable, hated & violent.

I'm sure the rich are going to race to their checkbooks to fund that project!
AACS did actually work pretty effectively. Keys were discovered and then revoked. You could play old disks but not new ones.

Similarly afaict there are some sketchy closed source programs to remove cinavia,but given we are a decade in, and there is no open source implementation/public description, i would say it lasted better than i would expect.

> I don't understand a desire for do-while

It has to do with porting code, generally. If I'm writing original Rust, I rarely miss it. It's not a huge deal, but you bump into it juuuust often enough to (probably unfairly) curse Rust out when you hit it yet again.

Here's code from CMSIS DAP debug probe firmware from ARM:
https://github.com/ARMmbed/DAPLink/blob/main/source/daplink/...

Note the nested do { do { } while (); if (err) break;} while(); if (err) break;

Should that code be rewritten? Most certainly it should, and it should be given a proper Error type. However, when you are first porting it, you need to match semantics or you get a bunch of off-by-one, missed error, or missed end of stream bugs. And, as you point out, the Rust loop{} equivalents suck.

We've all written suboptimal code, and we all live in a suboptimal world. :)
This only works when no one cheats. When someone cheats easily and gets ahead with no consequence, i doubt "honor" is quite as powerful.
Linux has long been great for giant corporations. There’s nothing new about that. Linux will never suit the needs of normie users because giant corporations don’t want it to. The only thing that will change this is a major reorganization of society in such a way that massive corporations do not have so much power.
My first thought was that the generated SQL looks a lot like Looker, and indeed this is from them.

Nothing in that query is remotely novel or difficult. The style isn't the most readable, but any experienced data engineer has read and written far more heinous queries.

This is obvious because someone had to write the generator for these queries, and so it's not surprising that the techniques that appear in the generated queries are recognizable.

"Malloy writes queries you wouldn't enjoy writing" is more accurate, but there's no evidence it's doing anything a human can't.
Damn. Sorry dang. Will phrase that better next time.

You mention "as in work", but let's be clear here: "looking up how to do it" is not really a profession. Professionals are the ones who could write the stuff the former are searching for, explain why it works, and have the good judgment to choose a good solution over a poor one.
Go to the IMDb login page on your phone. The choices of account are: IMDb, Amazon, Google, Apple.

So while we're betting, I would bet most new accounts fall into the last two. They offer zero-friction without another password to remember. Longstanding users have IMDb accounts that predate the Amazon takeover.

So I'm not so sure as you are that it's that simple. You're also limiting it to one vote a family.

So Amazon does have some data. They could probably infer some more from metadata. Perhaps those reviews should have remained, and if they wanted to do this in the future, a "verified purchaser" model might work Fairly-Enough™ but it still discounts many, probably most, fair reviews

> I know there are a lot of issues with image based languages,

Like what? Some people believe lisp/smalltalk users write all their code in a REPL and don't save their code to files. Or they believe a build command or make file cannot be used to rebuild the project. Or they believe source control is not used image based languages.

All misconceptions. You can develop while the program running without sacrificing any of those things. I rarely use the REPL buffer, I just press C-M-x a lot to eval the code I write in a file.
There is a moderately-large group on the political right trying to build "the parallel economy", but it's a nigh impossible task, because you have to start at the very bottom of the stack. You can't start at the internet service level, because Cloudflare will stop you. You can't start at the Cloudflare level either, because the peering services and the payment rails will stop you. You have to start all the way at the bottom of the stack by building a parallel financial system first, then parallel networking, then parallel internet infrastructure, and only then parallel user services. And you'll need parallel browsers, on parallel mobile operating systems, on parallel hardware, on parallel telephone networks.

Current oligopolies at all of these levels have demonstrated willingness to apply political-cultural censorship at various times. In order to "build your own", you have to actually make an entire parallel economic system.

Edit: In the incredibly unlikely event that the parallel economy is successfully built, it will not increase societal cohesiveness to have a bifurcated society, where what "side" you are on determines what banks you can use, what phone networks you use, and, for all practical purposes, which internet you are on. Overall, it is better for society if the parallel economy is not needed.

SQL, for the most part, has already been replaced as a language used by people with alternatives like query builders, ORMs, etc. Beyond the occasional ad-hoc query, SQL simply isn't suitable for the tasks we require of modern relational databases, lacking features like composition that today's applications need.

It remains as a compiler target for those tools, but I am not sure that is the level of abstraction in question.

I am in full agreement with you, the tests as conducted in favor of rote memorization would be rendered useless in this regard as all the answer would be behind a simple search and the student would have learned nothing.

Therefore the test must change to be more engaging and more in depth, or be replaced with a final project.
noise transmission (and the reduction thereof) is affected by all aspects of building design. A wood building will not always be noisy. More expensive buildings tend to have multiple mitigations in place for sound transmission. These can be multiple special purpose layers in floors and walls, from elastic layers that are only a few mm thick, to inches of poured concrete present only for the sound response. A technique in very nice stick-built (the 5-over-1s mentioned) buildings is to have walls built with different structural systems for either side of the wall. Two layers of drywall on a single structural wall acts like a membrane, transmitting sound to the other side. Attaching drywall to disconnected structures greatly inhibits that vibration, at the cost of a thicker wall (lost rentable sqft) and ~2x spent on structure.
