I don't think it does a conventional CFD simulation but it does try to capture some of the physics correctly.
I don’t think so. Accuracy records are generally done in fixed condition well into the range of the gun. What’s impressive is that the human is extremely consistent and can continuously hit the target. That’s entirely about the shooter.

Here it’s just pushing the capacity of a rifle and shooting enough to finally get what you want. That’s not really competing. Why stop there and not push the capacity of the gun towards something appropriate?

I personally don’t get it. A more fitting comparaison would be motorsport where the performance of the vehicle matters more than the pilot and which I also find utterly pointless.

Most US companies will not deal with hiring someone as a direct employee from a country with the kind of worker protections most European countries have—unless they already have a presence there (and are likely paying local rates anyway).
I think you’re asking for a US salary rather than a US company in itself, right?

Unless you’re an exceptional performer who can command a US salary from a position in EU, I think you could:
- move to the US, maybe some remote area where cost of living is minimal but you get a reasonable internet connection
- apply for a full remote job that accepts digital nomads, so they ack you could work from any timezone
- go back living in your EU country

You should mind any Irs or immigration office complaining, though, and you may be breaking laws.
It's super easy actually. All one needs is to be a freelancer in the EU and use W-8BEN form in the US. No additional taxes, just EU ones.
As far as we are aware, the grammars included with langcc (go.lang and py.lang) parse the full industrial programming languages Golang 1.17.8 and Python 3.9.12. They are not restricted subsets (even though cc.lang is a restricted subset of C++).
I think it's supposed to be a bit scary, so you pay extra close attention.
I think Tibia players are fine with that. I play it with friends from time to time, the game is exciting in a way no modern title is, in my opinion.
I disagree completely, "blockers" is accurate.

The user chooses what website page to visit, but it's the website that chooses want content gets served at any of its URLs. That's how the web works. Hence, when websites choose to include aspects of the page users don't want: "blockers", to block some of the page. Nothing loaded about the term it's just descriptive.

Nor are they "content selectors/choosers", nobody uses their adblocking plugin to find content, only to block parts of content they've found by visiting a website.

Correct. The C/C++ grammar is not complete; it only encodes the subset of the language that was needed to bootstrap langcc itself.

As far as I am aware, however, the Python grammar parses the full industrial language Python 3.9.12.

This is the core of it for me. Half the time I don’t even need to write a shell scrip, I just fling it straight onto the command line if I’m doing a quick one off task.
It's talked about by politicians, but it's a perfectly reasonable question outside of that.

It's not illegal. An EU person needs a legal entity in the EU (it can be either freelancer or a company) and then it's just usual B2B relationship where EU person pays their taxes, insurances etc. in the EU. US company still saves, i.e. instead of paying 200k to a fresh graduate they can pay it to a senior dev in the EU.

I wonder about this:

> A templating language ... targets a weird imagined archetype of someone who isn't allergic to code, but somehow isn't smart enough to work in a genuine programming language. In my experience, this archetype doesn't actually exist.

In my day job, I write "sequences" to command a spacecraft, in a neutered "sequencing language" with conditionals but no looping. Several people on our team who are great at writing sequences for the spacecraft feel they "can't code" and don't learn other languages. I had assumed the deal with templating languages was similar and this type of people were the target users.
It is probably doubly illegal. Not just in the US, but also in the country you live in. I don’t know for sure outside Germany, but I assume it’s similar: If you mainly live in Germany, you have to be hired according to German labor law (and pay taxes etc. in Germany)
Thanks! Very nice reminder. I still remember his "The Art of the Long View" book. Helped me in numerous situations.
It works for windows 10 pro also - my laptop has been sitting pending a restart for about a week and a half now, and my shutdown menu has options to restart/shutdown without updating.
The "end game" from the user's point of view would if someone indeed came up with "content selectors". It would be quite an achievement to build one that was actually useful.

Maybe easy version could work exactly the same way as blockers do, except they'd invert the way the rules are evaluted, and of course the rules would need to be custom as well. And then if the rules would fail to find some actual content on the page, then I guess you might not even know about it :).
A logic-less template is easily done, by exposing a few methods to the programmer providing the data. I remember Android XMLs to be logic-less and while it refers to concrete classes, something like this could easily be adapted to generate text. A designer wouldn’t need conditionals or loops because he could mark something as a container, the goes on to design the content (for loop, each cell). Desktop and Mobile had this for ages.

I’d be more than happy if a more powerful version of figma existed (capable of handling UI states). Then the designer would then hand the design files annotated with IDs to me, and then I could go on to implement logic. If we agree on some sort of contract for the UI, he can go play to his heart’s content with the Look and Feel.

Depends, in Germany chances are that it falls under Scheinselbsttändigkeit (pseudo self-employment) which would be illegal.
Did not get the point about back- end. But does people remember how FB used to work? After going to the start-page and some clicks it had sent 1000+ requests. This was back when you could expect max 5 connectios per domain. The site was slow. The Android app was basically just a spinner.
C++ actually has two axes; 1) Paradigm axis (i.e. Procedural, Object-Oriented, Generic, Compile-time and Functional) and 2) Usage axis (i.e. Low-level bare-metal, Kernel, Library, Application). Every feature has an ideal application at the intersection of these two axes. Another way to look at it is how best to map concepts from the Problem-domain directly onto language features. Here techniques like Commonality/Variability analysis (bedrock of DDD, Patterns etc.) are used to express concepts using specific language features and then combine those into a coherent design.

Most of the above design ideas are found only in pre Modern C++ books. I don't know of any newer books which actually teach multi-paradigm design using Modern C++. So you will have to read the older books and then think about how you would map the same ideas into Modern C++. You might find the following useful;

Pre Modern C++:

1) Multi-Paradigm Design for C++ by James Coplien.

2) Scientific and Engineering C++: An Introduction With Advanced Techniques and Examples by John Barton & Lee Nackman.

3) Advanced C++ Programming Styles and Idioms by James Coplien.

4) Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied by Andrei Alexandrescu.

Modern C++:

1) Functional Programming in C++: How to improve your C++ programs using functional techniques by Ivan Cukic.
The purpose of these filters is entirely different. A furnace filter needs to prevent large particles from passing it, as such particles can deposit on the coil. Its utility is essentially -(particles missed). A room air purifier exists to remove particles. Its utility is (particles removed). Blowing additional air around that bypass the filter in an air purifier is harmless, whereas it can destroy your furnace or especially your A/C.

This is why the IKEA air purifier is a better design than a HEPA purifier.

Also people most certainly do build furnaces with gaps around the filter.

Yeah, it reminded me of the Three-Body Problem... "hard" science fiction that's believable as an extension of what we currently know
I think it being open source from the get go has also made it a lot more viable.
Many of these claims are subjective, but I will at least point out one fact: langcc is general enough to compile its own frontend - and not just for experimentation.
It’s not either, it’s both. Brandon is not in charge. Take for example the statements he made in 60mins about sending US troops to Taiwan & the pandemic ending, both of these are walked back by “the whitehouse” (handlers). Brandon is not even allowed to talk to the press outside of carefully controlled, scripted scenarios and even those he screws up.

They’re desperate to maintain power across all branches of government and this being an obvious political move to taper gas prices, as that was hurting polling stats. That’s the only thing that prompts action.
Is it democracy if some people are born with an effectively infinite number of votes and others are born with zero? What a silly analogy.
The SPR is down, yes.

But just want to point out the WSJ definitely has an axe to grind in this. They're anti-Biden and want highlight how terrible this all is because it's being done by Biden.

As another poster pointed out, he Russell conjugates and uses the word "Lost" versus "Spent" (fighting inflation).

The chart in the graph has an axis that starts at a non-zero level, the first trick in statistical persuasion.

The article catastrophizes by saying things like "for the first time it's lower than commercial stockpiles". Wait why is commercial stockpiles even the relevant reference level? Shouldn't there be some first-principles analysis of what is even necessary? Is the "safe" SPR level way lower for the USA today because the USA is a net exporter? None of that analysis.
I do not see any indication in the article that Rust is used in safety critical components:

"And it happened to run on the architecture that was best supported in the embedded bare metal space of Rust at the time. It was also not safety critical component, so we did not have to worry about safety certifications."

I find the article very low on actual information. I don't think Rust will be used in an ABS soon. The Android/Elixir/Rust examples in the article are for the useless gadgets that no one wants.
This needs more moderation. I searched for “Dijkstra” and got many separate results with only one implementation each, despite presumably being the same algorithm.
Why not? You can control robots with a sequence of text instructions.
Sorry but Thiel is one of the ones you actually need to worry about ;)
For example, you could have a dedicated "do this thing at this time" processor. It can't be blocked, and if it accepts a job, then it is able to do it on time.

The main processor then tells this processor to do all timed tasks.
Yeah, I have travelled that road too often (hmm, looks simple, I bet I can make it for half the cost- and a year later I have spent way more even disregarding the cost of my time and still only have a barely working thing) to know how that would turn out :)

This is a rather different thing. The carbon filter removes VOCs and maybe some ozone and NOx — it’s for gasses. A normal air purifier is for small particles. You can certainly do both, and you can surely add a MERV 13 or better filter to the “industrial” solution, but as you describe them, they address different problems.
The illegal bit isn’t the pay structure but the treatment of a contractor as an employee. Both the European and US laws make this distinction with similar criteria. This is to make sure companies aren’t avoiding their obligations to employees. And just from a moral perspective if you’re expecting someone to act like an employee you should treat them in kind.
If only you make a library out of it, and it’s unsound. Not so different from any other programming language community I guess.

Given that Rust prevents invalid memory accesses and enables fearless concurrency, this is probably caused by some kind of memory leak or deadlock.

In this case, the older blinks are possibly not deallocated and slow down the processing of newer blinks. Fortunately automotive software has all sorts of watchdogs and at some point the blink watchdog must kick in and it kills the blink manager which is then restarted and it processes the blink queue in quick succession.

Just like a normal programming contest, you would be able to submit your solution for automated testing and resubmit if an error is found.

Your invoices are also with 0% VAT (reverse charge), so arguably it's simpler than contracting for a European company.

The sounds probably aren't a prank or a recording of a human at all. I am guessing it is just a resonant frequency of a standard part being picked up as a feedback loop due to some component which was recently exposed after a change in maintenance protocols. (or something similarly mundane) I have heard all sorts of ghoulish sounds picked up while tinkering with RF and old microchips. Our brains tend to anthropomorphize such sounds when we have never experienced them before. Going straight to the wildest explanations like "hacking" or "ghosts" is fun for our brains but further reinforces the inaccurate picture we had painted for ourselves initially.

I don't have a company, but I do host a few play projects. My advise is mostly around using cloud providers..

1) build for limited/easy observational/maintenance. Adding observers and maintaining systems is time you could spend elsewhere.
2) favor self-healing. I generally do this by using severless services -- code won't suddenly execute differently in a new lambda/function or container, so if the data center has an issue, my issue is resolved when there's is.
3) keep your running stack simple. The less services you leverage, the less you are impacted by issues. It may make more sense to use the database for locking instead of redis because that's one less thing to learn.
4) reproducibility of your environment. DNS is almost the only thing I need to set up manually (because the effort to automate making SOA/NS links). But after that, I can rebuild my entire code stacks and make a new dev environment in minutes. I then can load up the recent DB backup. Having this also makes it easier to deploy in multiple regions, if you get to that level of redundancy needed.

I guess my advise is mostly keep it simple so your less likely to have an issue.

The text says "Every turn each gloober flomps the same gloobers."

If I understand you correctly, you are applying only one of the steps each turn, in order, which contradicts the instructions by flomping different gloobers each turn.
