I think the assumption that the US is a preferable superpower--likely true at one point--is what led to the US behaving increasingly badly, taking the wrong side of those trade-offs, to the point that I can think of several candidates I would prefer to the US as a world superpower--including no world superpower at all!

There aren't many that are always good, or always bad, but it's naive to suggest that "there aren't good guys or bad guys." No matter where in the world you are, you're in no danger of being shot by the Swiss government. That's a statement that's not true of the US, even in the US!

The results are very good. I have studio monitors and a crappy room setup, and the calibrated sound is much better. I purchased the kit with the supplied mic.

That said, the software is unstable. To the point of uselessness. It caused so many system crashes that I - very sadly, because the results are so good - just don't use it anymore.

Hoping they fix stability in later versions so I can go back to using it.
I agree to with you on the cost of perfectionism - I also didn't care for how women were treated at the restaurant (seating arrangements etc), but like you mentioned it's a fantastic documentary.

Judging from your requirements for the app you're building - it sounds like maybe the core should be a typescript library handling the data and rendering - then wrapped in a (eg: react) component, wrapped in an app - similar to eg d3.js might be used?

That said, I've been trying to find a reasonable stack for our project at work - and I'm so far quite impressed with RedwoodJS - it appears to help with a lot of useful "opinions" - on testing, on styling and integration with storybook.

As this is a hobby project, I'd probably try to optimize the choice for fun/joy - so maybe clojurescript/reagent, maybe svelte, maybe elm - maybe even something like https://www.amber-lang.net/ (although, probably not...).

Finally, sounds like you will be wrangling some narly data structures (annotations on top of documents) - sounds like you might need "more" than just typescript for that - perhaps clojure is a good fit?

The EU was not being spiteful in the slightest. .EU domains are intended for entities within the EEA. When the UK left, UK-based entities no long had that entitlement, unless you believe you that the UK as a third country deserves to be treated differently from every other one.

A year's grace was pretty generous, and has the domains been transferred to an EEA-based entity (such as a subsidiary based in the EEA or an EEA-based proxy, which is a service some .EU registrars provide), then they could keep them.
Samsara [1] is not a typical documentary, but is well worth watching. It's visually stunning, and gives the viewer a great sense of the mechanisms of civilization.

This kind of thing is why it's important to store user-specified future dates as local time + IANA zone name.

If a user wants a calendar event at 9am, they probably still mean 9am after accounting for time zone or DST changes.

Storing dates as UTC is appropriate for dates in the past, or future dates that a user will never expect to happen at a certain wall-clock time.

(An IANA zone name is something like America/New_York, and not EST or UTC-05:00)

I should clarify. I may have mistyped.

Odin allows type inference at the declaration level `foo := 1` for example, and a few other places, largely from the constant system. 1 can be an integer, float, or even a matrix, given the larger context.

What I meant was implicit type conversion. Integers do not automatically cast as booleans in Odin, as an example.

I'd say it depends on the time horizon for the "crisis" to show up.

Here in France, there's an up to six months "trial" period during which either party can terminate the employment for any reason and without notice. In case of a downturn, it's convenient to lay these people off.

Had this happen to me once, when I joined a company that, as it turned out, had to undergo some "restructuring" [0]. Three months in, my boss told me they weren't going to keep me, nor anyone else on their trial period. They were cool about it though, and told me I could stay until I found a replacement (or the full six months) and they even introduced me to a recruiter who did a pretty good job. In the end, I moved on to a much better position two weeks later, so all in all, and to GP's point, it was a good thing.

> - Downfall: Case Against Boeing -- all in the title

This is a good one. For context, it deals with the 737 Max 8 crashes, pre covid. Boeing was incentivized to release a flawed aircraft which killed 362 people, across 2 crashes. They knew after the first crash what was going on, but decide to do nothing.

Apart from the technical description of the failure it also explains how the corporate structure and the race for profits compromised Boeing's culture of safety.

Yeah, this is a very well filmed documentary. The combination of the Phillip Glass score and some camera techniques that make the interview feel very in person and vivid definitely work. It's a fascinating and surprisingly frank look at someone that helped shape the last century, including making decisions that resulted in the deaths of 100's of thousands of people.
It’s one heuristic, but you can’t know what they want, the problem is underspecified. It’s reasonably likely they could want a reminder to watch a game that is being broadcast from a different time zone, or call a friend in a different country.
The fundamental problem is that we humans are slaves to our computer systems instead of them being our slaves. By definition, a computer is a streamlined process or procedure designed to help humans but that's so often not the case. (Something that's so often overlooked.)

The fact is that the biggest problem in computing is that their ergonomics suck big-time. This daylight saving issue is yet another instance of it.

Seems to me that both hardware designers and programmers should have a course in ergonomics as a prerequisite before they embark on their profession.

I say that as someone who has literally lost years off my life trying to get poorly designed computers to adapt to doing the simplest of tasks.
I think an interesting distinction is this: it's not that 90% of the typing you do is necessarily useless, it's that it's been done before. Copilot is, in a sense, drawing from a corpus of prior work. In that way you are kind of using it as if you found a published library for your more specific use cases. So it's allowing you to draw on prior work without necessarily having external packages split up with the granularity of many variations of functions (which, ideally, would allow you to pull in exactly what you need from prior work, but would certainly be onerous in practice).

That being said, I've never used Copilot myself, so I can't speak very confidently about it. But from what I've seen, it kind of allows you to incorporate every library that's ever been made open source into your project, but in a more granular fashion. Which naturally would save you some typing :)

P.S. I realize Copilot isn't necessarily copying other code verbatim, though I assume pretty often it basically ends up doing that, at least in pieces.
As others have said, any decent optimiser will prune out values that aren't SELECT'ed. I don't think it's that complex either - find the unused columns, remove them from subviews, recurse all the way down. Try it on MSSQL/Postgres and you can see it being done.
Agree that this is a good default, but this doesn’t solve everything. For example a meeting between people in two time zones. Typically that’s handled by picking one time zone as the primary one, but that’s always not ideal.

Also some events aren’t related to human activity and you would rather not make that adjustment. It can be tricky to know which is which.
I agree with the premise of dirty work being more valuable. The trouble I see with the recommendation for taking on-call work is that it’s too easy to get “stuck” in that role without the tools to improve the process. There will always exist some amount of dirty/on-call work and reducing it is usually a business logic issue not a code issue. Maybe if you’re at a high-growth company you have the tools at your disposal to fix the process.

At the expense of the irony of this comment's existence, I also, privately, like to keep things private.

I have the same feeling towards museums. My dad would drag us through museums as the default family trip when I was young. Him being the type to read each and every description, I made a private vow to avoid subjecting others to that kind of boredom.

Now I almost always go to museums alone so that I don't feel anxious about my pace relative to someone else. Almost like reading a book, I am free to study or skim as I like and focus on the things in front of me. Instead of the object of joint attention mediating communication between you and whoever else you're with, experiencing these things alone fosters communication between you and the object itself.
While maintainers may use a very technical sense of breaking change, that doesn’t mean in the end it doesn’t correspond to a lay usage of the term. The “ "Upgrading to a new stable compiler version requires either no changes or extremely small and easy changes to my code," question I posted below is what I would argue the lay understanding of the term means, and as the survey showed, it is extremely close to zero.

That you believe that the team goes “uhhh actually sorry your code isn’t broken due to subsection 2.4.f” shows that you don’t actually engage with Rust in this respect. Can you cite the Rust team breaking a bunch of user code and then responding this way when the inevitable outcry comes? I can’t think of a single time that that’s happened, though I am of course fallible. Given that you claim it happens regularly it should be easy! Literally the comment that started this sub thread is about the Rust team not making a change that would break a reasonably popular tool because it would harm users.
It's not just a lack of motivation. What they did takes roughly zero effort. The alternative also takes roughly zero effort.

They made an active choice. Calling their choice "lack of motivation" is not right. They wanted to take the ruder option.

Yes, you can use raw pointers. Example at https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio.... The gist is

trait TryConvertValue: Sized {
/// SAFETY: `value` must be dereferencable.
unsafe fn try_convert_value(value: *const Value) -> Option<Self>;
}

Now `TryConvertValue` has no lifetime so you don't get the HRTB issues presented in the rest of the article. The unsafeness is that if you call `try_convert_value(null())` or with a dead raw pointer you will cause UB.

One issue with raw pointers though is that they don't extend to lifetime-generic types: there's no raw-pointer equivalent for

#[derive(Debug)]
enum Value<'a> {
String(&'a str),
Number(&'a i64),
}

trait TryConvertValue<'a>: Sized {
fn try_convert_value(value: Value<'a>) -> Option<Self>;
}

I wish there was a feature where you could use raw pointers in generic argument position, like `Value<>` which would have variants `String(const str)`, `Number(*const i64)`, but I haven't heard anyone else suggest or advocate for it (`Value<'static>` is not the same)

I see no problem with this, since the AI snake oil and marketing griftopia that is overhyped and not only doesn't work as shown by prime examples like FSD, getting easily tricked and confused by a single bad input, enables the spread of disinformation and burns insurmountable tons of CO2 in the data center such that there are no efficient methods for the training, retraining, tuning and improving of the model after years of this hype.

I recall seeing my first PHP/FI page in the middle 90s. PHP was a godsend after you'd suffered with Apache's "server side includes" [0], which is largely what it was used to replace.

Python's origin was as a teaching language (originally ABC I think?), and thus the simplicity of the syntax. It was kinda cool that Python was around for so long before it took off... I had the O'Reilly Python book way back in the 90s.

Perl's influences were awk, sed, bash, C, Fortran, and Lisp.

> because a phase-neutral response created in a room is only valid in one point of the room

Author here. The term "phase-neutral" simply means here that the impulse response is symmetrical and doesn't add a phase shift. It doesn't even try to neutralize the phase characteristics of the room, which is what you may be thinking. In fact the phase information from the measurement is completely discarded. Furthermore, the frequency response is averaged to get a more general and robust (less over-fitted) correction that works pretty well across the room. Try it...
