A "overwhelming force"? Able to scare putin with his russian nukes? "magic"? "Super Heroes"?

And this is exactly what I said: any dictatorship with nukes can go to war with any country in the world which has no nuclear umbrella from a significant nuclear country. It means that significant nuclear country is ok to anihilate the attacker and die in the process (assured mutual nuclear destruction).

I don't think that's necessarily a widespread agreement. Even within the bounds of basic centrist liberalism, people believe that sufficiently concentrated wealth can rival the power of governments, and deserve to be limited in the way that governments are.

One of the few pieces of useful information I took out of scouting was the "universal edibility test"[1] -- I assume the professor did some version of it, probably abbreviated because just about everything else in Ferula is edible (at least in doses used for flavoring).

Turns out time and time again that the most sustainable way to store your personal data (health, financial, notes,...) is in flat files on your harddisk, not some startup's cloud service. Not that that will stop them from collecting, but at least from putting your access behind some walls or disappearing all of a sudden.

"offers for work" or "job offers"? "Traditional" w2 full time go-through-an-hr-dept organizations possibly have more of an ageist issue than other scenarios. Freelance/consulting seems to still offer more flexibility on the age front, but it's more of a gut sense from speaking with those in my network.
What if we just built infrastructure for trains and bikes? Heck, give folks subsidies to buy ebikes.

California suffers from over population. There really isn’t enough resources to support people as well as industry(including tech) in California.

Resource optimization can only occur with automation. For a tech paradise, we are woefully outdated compared to other global tech centers. We don’t even compare favourably with places like Asia.

The housing situation in CA is because we have been brainwashed into home ownership. It’s not for everyone. Only a few can afford it truly. Renting is the best economic choice. Unaffordable housing in California is due to the speculative frenzy for home ownership and also partly due to foreign ownership of speculative assets.

There will always be the landed gentry and they are necessary for the stability of an economy because they already own the land.

When people ‘own’ their little homes splintered only to give them the satisfaction of ‘home ownership’, it is a lie. What happens is instead of land owning citizens collecting rent, banks collect interest on mortgage.

It is a macro economic move. It means that the state is leaking $$$ and there is Big Govt that needs revenue for its bloated departments. It also means that interest rates are being manipulated. It has nothing to do with home ownership. I would rather pay rent than pay interest.

My controversial take is that I prefer the landed gentry who are rent seekers than be sucked into a fake ownership agenda that is really the govt with the central banks milking interest and more taxes. It’s usury. It only benefits banks and governments. Not tax paying citizens.

If anything, California suffers from the wokeness curse. It’s debilitating when rational thought is sacrificed at the altar of political correctness.

I am on the side of giving the govt as little powers as possible to operate. Their essential functions should law and order, infrastructure maintenance and social services to bring the marginals up to the center.

If they have to be involved in housing, it should be like in Singapore. The govt builds high income, medium income, low income homes in high density townships and offer them at 99 year leases. This would guarantee homes without participating in the speculative home market. But this would never happen in America because the real problem is interest rate fixing and a tap called property taxes that can never be turned off. They are playing us and turning us against each other.
That would assume that people like them have a moral compass to begin with.
Maybe "squandered" would be a better choice of words then. Anyway, the point is that there wasn't an actual oil shortage; prices were just high enough that it was making the government look bad. Releasing the oil only served to temporarily and artificially drop prices.
What features Tesla does/doesn't support in what modes and whether they are prod or beta is a complete disaster.

Read the car's user manual, Autopilot marketing page and car sales page to come back with 3 different answers. Not to mention tweets & press releases.

Autopilot is safe & will prevent accidents and avoid accidents.. but also Autosteer (which is the steering part of autopilot) is beta and shouldn't be used near pedestrians.

FSD is a 5-figure software beta, test gated and essentially should work anywhere with supervision, but also no one knows what scenarios it doesn't support other than "discovering" them in the wild & excusing Tesla for yet another "first", such as oncoming trolley cars vs your unprotected left turn. It avoids pedestrians and obstacles, unless they are short. etc etc.

The Germans are not charging users for ill defined, beta, work-in-progress software.
The rule is literally described, in bold text, within the article.

Hmm, yea privacy in public is an interesting thought. I don’t think its ridiculous to say you should have _some_ privacy, even in a public space. It feels like the expectation is that you can be physically seen, but beyond that I don’t see how someone loses all facets of privacy, unless you’re assuming a surveillance-state.

> The auto-generated AST data structures are really the selling point here

But sometimes you want something custom ...

A fun project I did a while back was implementing a C subset (no structs, pointers or goto) using a directly-executable AST! Kind of a hybrid approach between a compiler and interpreter. This was built as a C++ library to load and execute C-like macros (including a domain-specific library of built-in functions).

What I did (using C++) was have two base classes, Statement and Expression, with respective virtual functions Execute() and Value(). Each type of C statement and expression then derived a corresponding "AST" class from these.

e.g. class IfStatement derived from Statement and implemented the Execute() method. The IfStatement constructor (following the grammar) took an Expression and two Statement base-class pointers as arguments which it stored. The implementation of IfStatement::Execute() was then just:

if (expression->Value()
if_statement->Execute();
else
else_statement->Execute();

Similar for ForStatement, etc, etc.

The root of the AST was then a CompoundStatement representing the entire program as a list of Statements, and you would then execute the program just by calling the Execute() method on this statement.

In this case I used a recursive descent parser (part of the library I built) to build this "AST", but of course you could do the same for a table driven parser, and it would make a nice demo of how little code you need to write to not only parse but also execute/evaluate whatever you are parsing.
Just turned 60.

One thing I've found (I started programming when I was 11) is that you can get better at judging situations/application/specifications and choosing NOT to write code in certain obvious ways or at all. Sometimes the right solution isn't the same old skill.

I've also come to realize that MOST hiring managers barely don't what they are doing as programmers or as managers. They have the authority of position but zero common sense or learned social skills to know what they are doing in their position - they are BEST IGNORED. Which can mean you won't get hired by them but often that is actually for the best - if you care about an idea, you should be the boss or be working with like-minded people who know what they are doing instead. That corporate job might just be 100% pure trash and a waste of time.

This last reality is why I do NOT value the idea of working for FAANG companies - there's nothing good about what they do or how they do it. They are generally evil in that sense. So why would anyone work for them? Mostly to make some money and because you don't know any better.
Do you have to love programming beforehand to learn and become good at it?
If someone is obsessed with car parts they can become a good mechanic if they choose to pursue it.

But isn't the other thing possible? Someone starts to learn about car parts by being a mechanic apprentice and then falls in love with it and learn more?

Many many people who are good at programming say that they loved the craft from when they were a kid and built projects in the home computer.

What if someone wasn't fortunate enough to have a computer at home? Is there anyone who learnt programming later in a course or in some other way just to see what this new thing is and then fell in love and eventually dived in?

What is your story?

I was going to post a similar comment to yours. I'm not vegetarian/vegan but I've been very keen on testing alternatives to meat and dairy and I completely agree with your statement:

>Part of the problem is that deliberately positioning the fake meat products as, well, "fake meat" will forever create unreasonable expectations by way of comparisons.

Look, I have eaten some patties which were made of very tasty vegetarian/vegan combinations (lentils, beans, carrots, etc) and I do enjoy these a lot. Now if you call them a replacement for meat patties it's just not gonna work out. Even the ones that really try hard to imitate meat just don't cut it in my opinion (plus all the processing and ingredients they use to imitate meat is worrying to me). Are they bad? No they aren't, they're delicious and I can take them anyday as long as they're somewhat healthy and nutritious but please don't call them "fake meat", they're not and they must not be marketed that way because it'll make people reject them, which is probably part of the failure we're seeing now.
The literature normally refers to an "absolute monopoly on legitimate violence," since the state has no practical way to prevent all incidental acts of non-state violence.
I would prefer your father-in-law not take a picture of my face. There are things to take pictures of in cities other than non-consenting people. The "value of candid photography vs consent" debate is ancient at this point, so I won't retread it, but you can guess which side I fall on.

I never see phones out, but I still have to walk around people taking up entire sidewalks and aisles gazing absent-minded at something I can't see. People manage to wander despite the phone in their pocket, and it's annoying.

What we have here is a writer trying desperately to sound deep and failing completely without substance to fill the space. Is "we need to wander" the new "we need to stop writing" (Plato)? I see more and more of these trend pieces, and each is more vapid than the last.
We are talking about companies operating outside EU. You are still set on companies operating in the same country. So a dev takes a risk, switches to a freelance mode, finds a client abroad, the client pays much better but at the cost of terminating agreement anytime, and for you it's a tax fraud? Smells like a crab bucket to me ("how unjust is it to earn that much more than me!").

It is not clear. Why people in Caucasu region live so long? They only eat meat and cheese? But maybe it is true.

Anyway, “Meat is not healthy” is distraction against the real killer: sugar.
The main problem in typical American diet is way too much sodium and sugar. But sugar industry is way way too powerful do do anything.

So let’s attack meat … or gluten or whatever. But god forbid removing sugar from bacon and hamburgers (and plant based burgers have about 10g of sugar in it).
Yup.

It's a shame SV took advantage of ZIRP to fund never-going-to-work software and perma-unprofitable businesses, subsidizing the urban upper class lifestyle.. but governments did not use the same cheap funding to build some trains.
Totally agree and another anecdote to add to the pile is that our kids love the fake meat chicken nuggets and don't know the difference. Nor do I. I could see this being a bigger long-term impact on low-end meats than high-end meats where you are paying for the rarity.

Chess is not a good analogy. It is a singular context. The real advantages that being over 35 and programming brings are:

- You have immense foresight that enables you to architect larger things
This feels less like an AI that can match surveillance footage to social media posts and more like a dude who matched EarthCam footage with posts made at the same time (probably just found posts with #locationTheCameraIsAt) and then added some green boxes on top to make it look high tech.

Especially given that he has 4 examples of it working in 2 specific locations. Very reasonable to put those together by hand in a few days.

I'm saying in its adjective form, being humble is a learned affectation for most people, and in its immoderate form, it makes them resentful that the abasement they are trained to offer isn't reciprocated by others, or the universe they are using it to bargain with because it doesn't care.

Something I’ve noticed about being vegan is the way the meals change. In a lot of American meat based meals, the meat is the center piece and everything else is peripheral. In a well made vegan meal, there is often no specific center piece. Instead, you get a multitude of flavors that all work together in complex ways. It can be really wonderful. I’d encourage anyone who eats meat every day to consider experimenting with periodic meat free days. I used to eat meat almost every meal but I’ve now quit entirely. I almost never eat meat substitutes but instead eat meals with a mixture of foods that all work together. It’s really lovely!
Alternatively, you could design the system to fail in a way that was less dangerous.

For example, an ECU that controls blinkers does it with a 555 timer, based on a "start blinking" CAN bus command. It resyncs on each new "start blinking " command. It times out after 50 blinks, if no "stop blinking" command comes.

This makes each ECU autonomous and responsible for doing "the safe thing", once it has been commanded to.

Finding all the new subtle horrible timing problems in this design is left as an exercise for the reader. :)

I realize that where i am enthusiastic about older things, cars/bikes/tech/languages, you probably like new stuff. I hope you realize that most of the zombie revivalists agree with me. Most of the time we are looking for a new solution to an old problem, which is the definition of progress. Locking threads after 6 months (thanks Reddit) or berating someone who want to revive an old topic, cripples progress.

Yes, the software can't be controlled, the knowledge and skill needed to make it is widespread. But what about the hardware? Production of suitable hardware is very centralized. As more people get burned and shaken by these new systems, I fear we may eventually reach a critical mass where most of the population is eager to restrict availability of new hardware to 'trusted' organizations; corporations and governments.

I used to be more disturbed by the idea of young people aspiring to be influencers, and vacuous nature of such a “career”. But then I realized it’s not much different than any celebrity using that status to make $ on sponsorships, especially those completely unrelated to the roots of their celebrity status.

I guess that doesn’t exactly make the activity better, but it at least no longer feels like a further degeneration perpetrated by modern social networks. And it is a sort of democratization of the lucrative paid shill activities concentrated among the very few.
