Yes, this is the major issue. When do you check for interface compatibility, and how? If you check for interface compatibility immediately then it will always fail because methods will be defined after the struct. Do you check when the module definition is then completed? Maybe another module completes the interface definition: do you disallow that? This question becomes more subtle with multiple dispatch. If you have a type parameter, A{T}, you may only define the iteration protocol on A{T <: Number}, but the struct definition may allow any T. Should that error? So then if you error if the interface is incomplete at the bottom of the module, should you error if there exists any possible dispatch that is missing an interface function? Maybe the answer is then to error at the bottom of the module if there exists any type parameter that does not implement this interface.

Okay cool, that does sound sensible. But now let's take a case where A{T <: AbstractFloat} defines the interface by doing direct dispatches for every floating point type in Julia Base. It won't error because iterate(::A{Float32}), Float64, etc. are all defined. Now someone adds the package ArbFloats.jl. Do you error when `using ArbFloats` because the interface is now not satisfied for `A{ArbFloat64}`? That would be annoying for users who never use type A, but if you don't error then your interfaces are not guaranteed to work. This would mean interfaces should only ever be used with `A{T <: T2}` where all interface definitions are done with `iterate(A{T}) where {T <: T2}` in the generic form so that it automatically extends well. That would be good code, but does that mean you should enforce that `iterate(::A{<:AbstractFloat})` is defined and error if it's not, even if every `T <: AbstractFloat` case is handled in the current REPL?

There's a lot to think about. But no matter how that's done, I cannot see it not breaking some code somewhere, hence probably being a 2.0.
The article describes an activist who specifically took pains to avoid any disparagement of the outgoing Queen, limiting his protest to the incoming coronation.

If that falls under the rule you're describing, doesn't that render it impossible to protest a ceremony, as long as it happens after a funeral? It seems you're defining away the protest of hereditary succession as unacceptably rude?

It's not direct time, but experience, which is incredibly hard to measure. I've met several engineers that have been working for years and years … and yet seem to have little to no experience. Things like, "why are you writing a parser, in a language you claim to be an expert in, for a language for which the language you're writing in has a parser in its standard library?" And then of course, the people who, if they have the need to use something, will have the docs open next to it as they work with it, diligently Google for answers, seek out tutorials or reference materials … and 3 months later are basically experts in that topic. Age is irrelevant, time is only tangentially related; it's that they put the effort into learning something.

I'm less clear on if it's value. There's "direct value", like, I literally helped make $X, or so. And then there's "what my employer wants done", which might very well be worthless. For the latter, I could argue that I am valuable to them, from their perspective, as I am doing what they desire … even if ultimately it is not worth something.

That is, I've plugged away at many valueless projects, things that the company wanted done, but ultimately won't bring value. Nonetheless, I can bring my experience to bear on the problem and move a mountain or two.

The times I have brought value have usually been quick and unexpectedly. Like, just by being aware of what's running & catching a $20k/month mistake. Or understanding how something is done, to unstick / enable someone else. But it is often not part of my goals, what I am doing day-to-day, or something I get to claim/matters in performance reviews.

And sometimes, you don't get to know what your value is. I remember at one company we had this really onerous customer: completely custom thing was built for them, it was always lots of back and forth, weird corner cases, just lots and lots of custom stuff. We thought we were mostly bending over backwards for someone for little gain. Turned out they paid quite well, but for the longest time, we had no idea: finance didn't share that information with us. And this is true of most companies I've worked for: the financial details are completely opaque, unshared, and I couldn't tell you if I'm bringing value or not, ultimately.

> > advocating violence or hate

> Is illegal and you can be arrested for it.

This is untrue. Immediate, direct, actionable threats are illegal, saying "I/we/you need to go hunt down and murder X now" can be construed as an actionable threat.

Extolling the virtues of murder and opining about how nice it would be if someone finally hunted down and killed X is legal free speech.

You can talk about how X needs to die all you want, but if you start making immediate, direct, actionable threats towards X, that crosses territory from free speech to illegal threats.
>"You will be arrested for hurling obscenities at mourners regardless of who the dead person is."

The word hurling in the context of insults or obscenities means vocalizing them in a very audible fashion. The article states that the woman at St Giles was not audibly protesting but rather holding a sign. Given that she was quietly expressing her opinion, tasteful or not, it seems she could have been quietly removed without being arrested.

>"In widely seen photos, a woman holding a sign reading "Abolish monarchy" and "F*** imperialism" was arrested on Sunday at St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, where the queen's body is to lie at rest until Tuesday.

Further the object of their protest was the institution and neither the mourners or the deceased.

The other two people mentioned in the article who were vocal, were outside on public streets and not in a Church. The article states they were near parade barricades. Again the object of their protest was the institution and it was being done on public streets. Surely you are allowed to express your discontent about an institution on a public street. That's not rocket science.

>"And in London, a woman was led away by four uniformed officers on Monday after holding up a sign reading "Not my king" — which has become a trending hashtag — near Westminster Hall."

Again we have a woman who was holding up a sign on a public street "near Westminster Hall."

You have a viewpoint that is shaped by a very niche experience. Your experience was with students that happened into an interest that was itself a project that can drive learning in a handful of subjects. This kind of approach doesn't work so well when the subjects that need to be learned don't lend themselves so well to exciting projects or even when the students don't get to self-select based on their interests.

Is this really surprising?

Any time I had used cannabis I felt like my IQ dropped 20-30 points and I would lose hours of my day where it was difficult for me to learn. It made doing household chores not terrible, but brought out a lot of panic inducing moments and erratic behavior. I was thinking about a 100k other things while doing one thing. Later on I realized I wasn't even doing that one thing so well. Anything that drops cognitive abilities for a moment is going to be awful long term and especially for babies.

I know a lot of people think cannabis isn't bad, but it is intellectually dishonest to disregard the broader effects of effects on cognition. I say that as someone who used to smoke a ton of cannabis.

Not having to rely on drugs to find calmness has made a profound change in my life, and I can't believe that I used to turn to weed, alcohol, etc. when all I needed to be permanently (key word) happy was already present within me. Prior, when the effects went away I spent just as much time craving and suffering heavily.

That being said I don't think it should be criminalized or anything like that. It is up to adults to do whatever, but it is useful to be honest as well. Not everyone uses it for epilepsy, none of the dispensaries here sell CBD products. Its all high THC products meant to "fuck you up"

And yet energy efficiency continues to improve: https://tpucdn.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-founder...

In fact, the 3070 is significantly more power efficient than the 1070 is. Because while yes power is up 50%, performance is up 100%. So performance per watt has continued to improve even as power consumption has also increased.

The reality of power consumption is that it's the main lever to pull right now to deliver generational gains. It's the same lever Apple pulled for the M2 even.

Agreed. My baseless and unsourced opinion is that the hardware we call the brain which makes consiousness possible can only take so many hits.
Yes, the article is a form of clickbait, posing a bad premise and then citing a debunking.
That “if more people cycle” is carrying a lot of weight and even accepting the premise it’s still no because more road and more cyclists on them makes more room for cars. Bikes on the road condense but a dedicated lane is a fixed size whether it’s utilized or not.

dae if you really cared about the disabled you would hunt the abled for sport isn’t an argument. Providing for the disabled is making accommodations. Blanketing a city with dedicated infrastructure that in practice is inaccessible to people who aren’t young, somewhat in shape, and abled is silly — that takes away space from the abled. And trust me I’m not weaponizing the disabled, it’s entirely selfish of me because with 100% certainty in my lifetime I will be disabled temporarily from injury and permanently from age.

Ban cars entirely for all I care, I’ll fully support you turning city centers into pedestrian only areas with scooters and small electric golf carts for those limited mobility. Even in a world entirely without cars bikes lanes are still dumb.
I understand the prescription, but it’s descriptively untrue that American cyclists are climate neutral, or always better for the environment.

If you see a road cyclist athlete, chances are high that the person travels around the state/country/world, and you aren’t seeing their sport- and lifestyle- related emissions. It’s like observing someone behind a desk and claiming, “Wow! You are so climate-friendly!” even though they drove to work.

You can try to restrict the subject to the minuscule echelon of car-opposed cyclists, who nobody in our cycling communities takes seriously, but it’s a misleading look at our actual cycling culture.

No athlete is going to forgo the conveniences of flight/driving and wear themselves out before a distant meetup or race. It’s not even logistically possible. Our vehicles also carry our supplies, tools, components, and backup bikes.

Nobody is going to bikepack up 13,000 feet of elevation for 12 hours, to begin a brutal 100-mile race through the mountain passes, when they can chill in an air-conditioned SUV instead.

Is cycling instead of driving better when you can? Yes, obviously. But it’s not a complete picture.

The smug superiority that comes from message board commuter cyclists is clueless. The disdain toward drivers is a self-blow. It is hypocritical naïveté.

It just makes the reputation of cyclists unjustifiably worse.
You can absolutely protest outside a military base and hurl insults at the soldiers if you believe it is a waste of taxpayer money.
> Imagine if you looked only to food to explain why the Dutch are taller than the Vietnamese. At best you'd get a small part of the answer

Isn't Dutch height supposed be due to natural selection (taller men have more children, who are in turn tall), better nutrition (such as more high-quality dairy/cheese), and better sleep (promoting growth)?

Nutrition may be an important part of the equation.

the article seems a bit fuzzy on what they are really calling out as responsible, but the hint seems to be that even with super fast allocation and garbage collection you still trash your L1/L2/L3 caches which leads to lower performance over artificially re-using the same object pinned in memory.

>>>> It's judgement that defeats us.

I think Serge Daney, and whomever those regarders were, are missing the point and being somewhat contradictory. There are a number of Viet Nam era Viet Nam war films (from the 1970's alone: The Losers, Limbo, Forced Entry, Coming Home, Tracks, Search and Destroy, The Visitors, etc.), and Apocalypse Now is atypical to all of them. The film is a retelling of Hearts of Darkness. The War in Viet Nam is just the setting, the backdrop or stage for Apocalypse Now, but the film is not about that war.

What is central to both Coppola and Conrad, what they are saying, quite simply and even cynically, is that there is no difference between the savages and the civilized. We can segue that into theses on racism, but the ultimate message (of both the novel and the film) is that civilization is an illusion; there are only savages.
Next time consider an inn-to-inn bicycle tour. There are companies that offer tours just for women.

I would also recommend Josef Pieper's Leisure: The Basis of Culture. He is (well, was) a Catholic philosopher who can help you develop an understanding of what work and leisure are really about.
I should start this by saying I don't support forcing anyone to do anything they don't want to, and for environmental reasons I very rarely eat meat.

That being said I believe everyone aught to eat at least a little meat because we are omnivores and it is advantageous for us to be able to, we don't know what the future holds and in evolution if you don't use it you lose it.

> Why not inquire why those schools are first choice & if those factors can be deployed to every other school?

That's not an easy question to answer, but have you asked it yourself? Why don't public schools adopt the successful practices of charter schools that have the prospect of saving their youth from a life of crime? My explanation is that teacher's unions fight against the practices proven successful in other context, such as merit-based hiring and compensation.

The wire format isn't great compared to these, particularly in its handling of nested messages. Or rather, non-handling, since you have to encode the sub message to a bytestring. That makes encoders a bit slower (or complex), and you can't look at a message and see the nesting without a schema. Not great.
There's some good advice here, but this is ridiculous:

> But, on another side tests slows you down as you build features. When your team writes tests they need 2x more time to release any feature.

Tests are an investment in fast future development. Last I did a startup, we did not write tests for anything throwaway or experimental. But once we decided some chunk of code was a keeper (e.g., experiment had a positive result), we wrote tests.

With just a team of 6, we were releasing a few times a day, not just once a week. And we had no "QA freeze" nonsense, because our tests were solid enough that we didn't need manual QA to release.

That said, I hired for people who were good at writing tests, and we did pair programming with frequent pair rotation, which gave us a big quality boost and helped keep our test suite lean and effective. I can believe that some startup teams have low enough levels of testing skill that "they need 2x more time to release any feature".

The HDMI PMOD is based around the TI TFP410 HDMI transmitter [1], or a compatible part from Silicon Labs. You feed it a VGA-style signal (parallel R/G/B signals, horizontal/vertical sync) with a pixel clock, and it generates an equivalent HDMI output. It's basically a drop-in replacement for most VGA designs.

How do toy know that's not the real reason and this isn't the excuse?
Why is everyone in this thread forgetting what tests actually do?

Tests force you to write better code. Code that is easier to change. Code that is more robust.

You don't need 100% coverage or perfect tests to gain this benefit.

A good test suite enables you to make large refractors safely and quickly.

The most scary refractors I've ever had to do are ones that involve large changes to code that has no tests.

Often those refractors that allow company level pivots require adding huge amounts of tests to a legacy code base before I can even get started.

Adding tests to code that has none is the worst. The code is coupled all over the shop and requires 100 times more mocking and stubbing to get under tests when you add this stuff retroactively.

Tests speed up development velocity and improve your codebase.

Just don't get stupid about it and you won't negatively impact startup performance.

>> If you can't get customers, what's the point of having a sophisticated codebase with tests, etc?

And in fact every minute spent on writing and running tests (and there's always ALOT) and CI/CD is wasted, wastes money and time, leading to longer development time until the software can be put in front of users.

Therefore CI/CD and tests and all their associated processes are a red flag and increases the likelihood a startup will fail to bring its software to market.

Developers who have always worked in well organised environments have really deep rooted trouble getting their head around this way of thinking. If you say to an experienced developer "no tests! no CI/CD!", it's likely they will immediately decide you are an unprofessional hack.
If this were some kind of private function I'd agree with you. But a large, public funeral for a monarch is inherently a political event. It's part of the process of moving from one monarch to the next, which is exactly what the protestors object to, and is literally politics. It is absolutely fair game to protest.

This is going to be confounded surely... parents who use cannabis during pregnancy are not 'the same as everyone else except they use cannabis'. They probably, or might I say, almost certainly, have higher rates of psychiatric disorders, the propensity for which they pass onto their children.

So the size of the effect will be less than what is claimed, but in any case don't use cannabis during pregnancy.
I would guess Parliamentarians are likely to have read up a bit and discovered why Parliament is sovereign. The English literally tried not having a monarch, they executed Charles I for treason. This concretely answers any residual question, the Parliament can execute the King, so Parliament is sovereign. Turns out the alternative wasn't better. "Lord Protector" Cromwell (ie a dictator) wasn't an improvement over a King. After Cromwell died, the restored Parliament invited Charles II to become King.

People want a figurehead. If you elect the figurehead they have political power (because of democratic legitimacy) and that's bad. Monarchy is better for this purpose.
