Even their product range names are "cool" (or at least carefully chosen by marketing to sound technological), like "Xeon" and "Itanium".

Probably hard to get street cred for a cutting-edge processing monster named FluffyKitten.
The big downside is that the companies that use COBOL tend to think of IT as a cost rather than an investment. They don't expect to get any competitive advantages from their technological infrastructure.

I'm, in fact, surprised they never banded together into standardizing and sharing code and processes.

Why not? Good salary, no stress, nearly never deadlines, working with massive mainframes, no hw failures, no OS failures, and in bank/insurance pretty good bonuse's...but hey maybe you like systems like borg/kubernetes where everything is build on cheap stuff and your deployment is like a babylonian tower build on unstable ground.
Yeah, the interop makes Kotlin also a hundred times easier to test out. No changes to setup or tooling, just drop a few lines in your pom.xml and you're good to go.

But curious, what's wrong with the coroutines? For some projects I've found them a nice abstraction when you have lots of IO-bound tasks, and they're bound at various places in the code making use of a single executor+threads/tasks hard to scale.

From the Ruby Ridge wiki:

"On August 21, 1992, six Marshals were sent to scout the area to determine suitable places away from the cabin to apprehend and arrest Weaver. The marshals, dressed in military camouflage, were equipped with night-vision goggles and M16 rifles. DUSMs Art Roderick, Larry Cooper, and William F. "Bill" Degan formed the reconnaissance team, while DUSMs David Hunt, Joseph Thomas, and Frank Norris formed an observation post (OP) team on the ridge north of the cabin.

At one point, Roderick threw two rocks at the Weaver cabin to test the dogs' reaction. The action provoked the dogs; Weaver's friend, Kevin Harris, and Weaver's 14-year-old son, Samuel ("Sammy"), emerged and followed the dog "Striker" to investigate. Harris and the younger Weaver said that they were hoping the dog had noticed a game animal as the cabin was out of meat. The recon team (Roderick, Cooper, and Degan) initially retreated through the woods in radio contact with the OP team, but later took up hidden defensive positions.

Later, the OP team and the Weavers claimed the dogs were alerted to the recon team in the woods after neighbors at the foot of the mountain started their pickup truck. The recon team retreated through the woods to a "Y" junction in the trails 500 yards (460 m) west of the cabin, out of sight of the cabin. Sammy and Harris followed Striker on foot through the woods while Randy, also on foot, took a separate logging trail; Vicki, Sara, Rachel, and baby Elisheba remained at the cabin. The OP team were anxious at first, but then relaxed. Randy encountered the Marshals at the "Y"; Roderick claimed to have yelled, "Back off! U.S. Marshal!" upon sighting Weaver, and Cooper said he had shouted, "Stop! U.S. Marshal!" By their account, Sammy and Striker came out of the woods about a minute later. When the Marshals' position was revealed by the dog "Striker", a yellow Labrador Retriever, DUSM Roderick shot the dog dead. Seeing this, Sammy Weaver reacted by shooting in the direction of Roderick. DUSM Cooper then shot towards Sammy Weaver and Kevin Harris, who both sought cover. Harris, once finding cover behind a tree stump, then returned fire with one unaimed shot, which eventually killed DUSM William Francis "Bill" Degan. Sammy Weaver, now retreating up a hill was then shot in the back and killed by DUSM Cooper."

It will be left as an exercise to the reader to determine if the above constitutes an "attempt to serve a warrant".

This is false. Capitalism made children work from age 5. I do like it, all things considered, but it seems to work best (for all) with strong social programs and a load of protections and regulations.
> I think this would be a lot more useful if it showed the capacity. Our problem in the UK isn't keeping our reserves at capacity, it's that they're tiny.

You are right. Check the "Stock/Consumption %" column here: https://agsi.gie.eu/ (choose the correct UK)

The UK (post-Brexit) currently has 1.2% of yearly capacity stored, and reserves are at 100%

I wonder what the UK gas reserves are for? Demand smoothing?
You can apply that exact same logic to languages with RAII, e.g. C++. "It's not apparently looking at any snippet of C++ code which objects have constructors and destructors, without looking up each type and reading its documentation."

Note the difference here is between being implicit vs explicit, and obvious vs hidden. RAII is implicit and hidden, which may not be a good thing in certain projects, especially when copy constructors are being called all over the place. (And move semantics don't replace copy constructors in different places, only help reduce the use of them in many cases)
It’s received a fair amount of criticism the last few years and in my opinion a lot of it is valid. I would never recommend it to someone who isn’t already familiar with the politics of the several war — at least they’ll be able to have a good chuckle when Foote opens his mouth.

I wrote scala for six years and was on the team to first deploy akka in production. I've seen Json libraries come and go while also struggling to read files written with OO and FP patterns intermixed. Scala can be beautiful but in practice it gets messy.

Switched to Go four years ago and I've never looked back. Go made programming fun again just like PHP did before either of them.
I don't mind. It's mostly via Slack app directory, sometimes I get through my links. I specifically wanted to build an idea in a marketplace to solve the discovery problem (as I suck at outbound marketing or any marketing in general).

If you're looking to build in any marketplace, shopify is more strealimed as majority of the shopify's users spends on the apps (and the billing and stuff is integrated) compared to any other marketplace.

That would be a very useless data, as gas consumption depends on the price. And the price is at a historic high, so we simply don't know what that means.

German Grid regulator BNetzA created forecasts based on historic consumption and assumed savings. But right now we have storage level way above even the most wildly optimistic scenario. This forcast is so hard i don't think it has any merit.

You can have a look at the AGSI+ [1], they list a Stock/Consuption ratio as 22%. But this number is IHMO meaningless, as it does not mean all is well for 22% of a year = 78 days, and than everything collapses.

I believe Rust in linux was made so that it never panics. Here's a patch that removes panicking allocations for example: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210704202756.29107-1-ojeda@ke... (but I think all other instances of panicking were removed as well).

EDIT: Look at replies. "Linus considers panics acceptable in some cases".
"To the extent that we are the victims of unchecked unconscious drives, to that extent we may be vulnerable to mental manipulation. And although there is a horrifying fascination in the idea that our mental resistance is relatively weak, that the very quality which distinguishes one man from another - the individual "I" can be profoundly altered by psychological pressures, such transformations are merely extremes of a process we find operating in normal life. Through systematized suggestion, subtle propaganda, and more overt mass hypnosis, the human mind in its expressions is changed daily in any society."

This could be sold as freedom of the marketplace with bears now able to bid for waste management which is rebranded as recycling.

I have ten sparrows that I put food out for in the middle of the city. This attracts pigeons, that the neighbours are not keen on. The sound of a distant crow and they are off, however, they will wait there for a speck of grain that gets dislodged by a sparrow all day. The area has been devised so that specks of grain only fall into sparrow only areas but there is still the chance.

The golden rule is to not feed the animals. I am breaking it selfishly, those sparrows would be a pair, if that. When I move, or when I can't justify their food bill (£1 a day), they will just die.
It's a pain because as you said customer have to reenter their details again. In case of subscriptions the payment provider needs to collect confirmation they want an ongoing subscriptions (in some countries that means secondary confirmation via 3DS, text message or such). Plus the risk the customer, happy paying for years, suddently either doesn't act or re-evaluates if they really need the subscription. It's a huge lock-in and businesses try to avoid switching if all possible.

Easier for products/e-commerce I'd imagine because that's many single transactions and you wouldn't need to email older customers.

We were lucky. We used a payment provider early on that used Stripe in the background. The product and prices configuration was a bit messed up but we owned the Stripe account and started building our own checkout etc.

BTW Stripe allows companies to move between countries. You'd need a second Stripe account but their customer service can move over all customer and subscription records. I'd imagine it's the same should two companies merge or such.

That's a postulate that remains to be proven. If we are talking about usable landmasses, a few islands disappearing is dwarfed by the unthawing of Siberia + if you prefer islands, the new islands that will be made from Antarctica.

There will be costs, and there will be gains.

My advice: watch it like a movie that just came out, not as a “really important and heady film”. If not, you might miss the whole concept is funny - it’s about a French guy who looks like bogart who watches American films and wishes he was American, who falls in love with an American who wishes she was French.

I love Breathless but I think my interpretation is different than most - to me it’s about the meaningless of art, how the main characters drift aimlessly because they model their lives after superficial understandings of the other gleaned from media. Also there’s an artist character who iirc explicitly says that art is meaningless. But yeah its a difficult watch, it’s almost an easier watch if you watch it superficially since it’s so well shot.
What about this part "the compiler will not tell you if you accidentally access a non-thread-safe type from another thread"?
Odin's shift behaviour is different to that of C's undefined behaviour.

To copy from the Overview[1]:

> The right operand in a shift expression must have an unsigned integer type or be an untyped constant representable by a typed unsigned integer.

and [2]:

> The shift operators shift the left operand by the shift count specified by the right operand, which must be non-negative. The shift operators implement arithmetic shifts if the left operand a signed integer and logical shifts if the it is an unsigned integer. There is not an upper limit on the shift count. Shifts behave as if the left operand is shifted `n` times by `1` for a shift count of `n`. Therefore, `x<<1` is the same as `x2` and `x>>1` is the same as `x/2` but truncated towards negative infinity.

In the case of overshift, the value is zeroed. Empirically I have found that the vast majority of shift factors can be known at compile time (or at least the valid range of integer), meaning it will compile to 1 instruction rather 2/3.
In naïve C, the shift would look like this:

(y < 8*sizeof(x)) > (x << y) : 0

In practice, the "select" instruction is never needed. This approach to shifting also places never in that it feels more like 2's complement in that `x << y` is now equivalent to `x (2*y)`.

This means that `(a << b) << c` is equivalent to `a << (b + c)`. In your example of `x << (32 - y)`, that logic works as what people intuitively intent it to mean, unlike in C where when `y` is 0, the shift behaviour is platform defined (nothing on x86 (5 bit shift) but zeros on powerpc (6 bit shift)).

> it's impossible no to have a 'peaceful transition of power' when one of the parties has kicked the bucket.

I don't think [this is] how power works, specially in a monarchy. Peaceful transition means the power base that has given fealty to Mr. X is now accepting Mr. Y. That is the 'transition'.
Rocketry traditionally contains a lot of euphemisms like "off nominal situation". E.g. the self destruct system on rockets is generally called a "range safety package".

I do feel like it's distinct from corporate speak though. Rocketry euphemisms are really just science-folks hedging their bets. Sure the rocket is doing something abnormal but the cause and result of it won't be properly clear until some research has been done so "off-nominal" seems like an apt description in the meantime.

> I’m imagining sulphates being something to do with it

In a roundabout way they do. Back in the 70s-90s, sulphates were being pumped into the atmosphere in huge amounts due to fossil fuel combustion and other industrial processes. This was reacting with atmospheric water to produce hydrogen sulphate, otherwise known as sulphuric acid, which caused acid rain.

The fix was not some grand geoengineering scheme, rather it was to implement a cap and trade system, much like what has been proposed for CO2. The result is that SOx emissions dropped precipitously, thus acid rain in the United States is a thing of the past.

That's the real solution. To limit CO2 emissions. We know this, the world knows this, the people making money off the fossil fuel industry know this, the politicians they own know this. Yet here we are talking about spraying more shit into the air we breath because that's the easiest option that doesn't disrupt profit or inconvenience anyone.
45 eurodollars for a fcking laptop nic ?
yeah okay.
The interesting thing is that the US has one of the oldest currency systems. due to the US policy of not invalidating old currency, an old 1920's silver dollar is still legal tender, of course at a market value of several hundred dollars you would be mad to spend it as legal tender.

A counter example is the uk pound, when the uk moved to the decimal pound all the shilling pound notes became invalid. so the us dollar system is older than the current uk pound.

According to a recent Lord's debate the UK only has 5 days supply at peak demand, but are planning to re-open a mothballed storage facility to double this. As the UK gets 45% of its gas from its own domestic resources, the gas fields can be considered a huge gas storage facility.

Not hugely so. Properties in top cities in Europe are probably as expensive as in top areas of US (NYC, SV). Rent is higher in US (that's because, if landlords charged SV/NYC rents in Europe, then the flats would just be empty, as the rent would be more than 100% of salaries of most people), but mortgage is comparable. Other typical cost of living expenses are somewhat higher in US (according to https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...). Salaries, on the other hand, are massively higher in US than in Europe.
> I’m also having affectionate memories of JavaScript and Python

I am afraid, things are equally messy in JavaScript and Python too. "X language isn't fun anymore" is exactly how I feel about X = JavaScript, X = Python, X = C++, X = Java and many other languages.

There was a time when I found Python and Js to be very fun languages. But recently the ecosystem has been becoming a mess. Build breakages on dependency upgrades are the biggest fun-killer IMHO.

Heck, there was a time when I found even Java to be fun. C++ too was fun in its early days. But every language keeps adding more syntax, more complexity and more ideas that deviate from the original design goals of these languages. These additions make the languages messy and the simple and characteristic ideas for which the languages were once loved get lost in all the complexity. I find it really disappointing. I really wish the languages preserved their original culture and philosophy.

For the never-ending and ever-increasing churn in all the languages I have gradually gone back to adopting Emacs Lisp and Common Lisp for all my personal programming needs. Common Lisp's standard is frozen in time, so for better or worse, I am protected from the constant churn I see in other languages. Emacs Lisp has a really good leadership that has been very wise to avoid adding additional complexity to the language. I wish the more modern languages were more reluctant in adding new complex ideas into the languages.
My main concern is that the western companies(primarily US-based, Stripe, or owned by US companies, BrainTree) became insanely politicized and simply shutting down their services merely because they don't like what you or your customers say, even though legal, is nowadays quite a norm. So I want to have a backdoor in case that happens(since I am working on a patreon-like project).
Yeah, I would just call that Rust I guess.
That makes sense. I don’t think that will render humans obsolete; I think it will just increase their productivity and ultimately raise the standard of quality expected. It means artists can explore and iterate on ideas faster than if they had to lay down preliminary artifacts manually. But it doesn’t eliminate the need for authorship: someone still needs to decide what to communicate visually and how to communicate it.

You need to realize the Scala ecosystem is not monolithic. Things are mostly fine if you stay within a corner, but can get complicated when you start mixing dependencies from multiple domains. I think that is true for many languages. The JVM ecosystem is rich, and that comes at a price.
