Maybe, but in some (many) cases you’d be better off spending the time developing your general knowledge of whatever it is you are working on to the point of solving your problem. This will not only solve your problem but also make you a better engineer. This is especially true with complex/dense material (e.g. kubernetes) where a lot of the learning is generally applicable.
All vegans are vegetarians. So those burgers are not an option for some portion of vegetarians
Shoot, I thought I was going to get to see actual code written by Aphex Twin.
I don't think it's divisive, it's pretty straightforward

Access to goods is managed & provided by a communal government, in this case even in direct opposition to market forces - I'd say that's communistic

It's a sad state of affairs when just mentioning something is considered flamebait. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. I find this idea of using rules that already exist to meet an economic need when market forces would have it otherwise - literally emulating communism, or socialism, feudalism, idrc - to be awesome. To be sure I didn't mean anything substantive, but if people are getting upset over what's supposed to be a nothingburger, that's pretty substantive in itself-

Are we angry that capitalism didn't come in and save the day? Are we so entrenched in market ideology that we are downright offended when it's implied that another could be useful?
It's already built, and the location is presumably decent. How much cash and time would it take to build a new one?
And Prisma supports it equally well as PostgreSQL.
I'm not interested in going in circles with this, but let's humor for fun some of what you've picked just this once. Original angular, superseded. NaCL, superseded. AppMaker, superceded. Swift for Tensorflow, are you saying Tensorflow was deprecated? Far as I know, Tensorflow is alive and well, so this choice is hazy.

Any of these projects, except angular have the same visibility and impact Flutter has? You're trying very hard to deride Google Infrastructure and its your very generalization that weakens your claims that they should not be trusted. Anyway, I'm done with this thread as far as it goes.

You don't trust them, cool great, but don't make generalizations about what Google is doing because of your distrust.
I really enjoyed it, although Solaris was easier as the user base was bigger.

My usage was circa 2000-2005. I loved smit and smitty, and would start new interns and juniors on AIX because the command lines to perform tasks would be generated and allow them to become productive quickly.
It seems to always be said with disdain. Is there a reason these people don't want to use the name? Do they really dislike the color orange?
Grain auger - a pipe with an Archemedes' screw inside used to discharge grain - is always on the left side of the combine harvester. New or old, small or big, American or German - it's always on the left. And the reasons for this can be traced back to horse-powered agriculture.

Just a little fun fact from this side of technology.
Those might be the same thing. How a thing seems and its aesthetic quality.
Has anyone hacked furnaces yet? They have giant PCBs in them.
Sounds like fun, but I don't see where to go to join in October?

Did I miss a link to a Jitsi or something?
I listened to the recording in the article, and it sounds like a human. Further, it sounds like the same human. And I found myself reading the emotional message behind the sounds. So...yeah, it's an interesting theory, but I think it's more likely a prank or someone making a point.
I'm better now than I ever have been. I was trash in my Jr years. Being discriminated against due to age would be a grievous error on the part of any potential employer.
Enjoying life for me == traveling the US and occasionally Canada and Mexico doing the digital nomad thing with my wife.
If Australians wrote the language in the manner in which we speak, no-one would comprehend what we have written.

There is an old book demonstrating this called "Let Stalk Strine"/"Nose Tone Unturned" by the author Afferbeck Lauder and even for Australians, we have to speak what is written in this to be able to understand it. Brilliant book and funny as.
I never said there were only two. I'm not sure what you mean?
Excellent point. I lost my savings to a hot tub. Should I start a go fund me to recover it?
Yes, anyone who has been around for awhile should be able to recognize it as nothing more than a soy burger or veggie pattie. It shows the power of marketing to create novelty out of the ordinary.
mock meats make transitioning easier for a lot of people
It's just a shitty democracy. Funnily enough, especially since Citizens United (but even way before ofc), that's basically how our government works too.
How can React be so great if Facebook's own UI sucks. They can't even get the back button to work correctly.
I do web backend stuff. A coworker of mine writes Go according to MISRA C style and this is the main thing that's always annoyed me: it seems like half the codebase is comments justifying deviations, like explicitly commenting when we are using the `if err != nil...` idiom to note any deferred cleanup that takes place and justify why it's safe to early return.
I wouldn't go about fixing the messages/symptoms, but after "software engineers" doing things wrong.

Also if it's really "always" one might consider the option that one goes about things the wrong way, and especially not implying that someone is mean spirited as the phrase "you are not good enough" seems to imply.

It could also hint at things like thinking software engineering is about quickly copy pasting stuff from Stack Overflow or tutorials and somehow making it "run", which at least isn't the only way to go about software engineering and in my opinion certainly isn't the best.

Given that the trend is to essentially create more of these (see Rust, Typescript, hinters, linters, etc.) to create better software I think more feedback is the way to go, because then one doesn't end up being scared that things will go wrong at the worst time.

As a software engineer I think feedback should be embraced, especially when it is direct, because it makes it more helpful than some vague "it's down", "feature X doesn't work".

I also don't think it's good to complain about neutral feedback, because the idea of "nice" error messages sounds scary, annoying and like it a waste of valuable time that people in general tend to have too little of. I'd rather spend that time NOT dealing with an error.
It’s so f**ing stupid we’re discussing memory leak or concurrency issues of a TURN SIGNAL. I’m never buying a car from the 2020’s.
really? a site where most posts get 0 comments? I would have assumed reddit (/r/programming) which has a large overlap with what is discussed here (the scary orange site)
Is there any way to combine a ground source heat pump with a well?
Hyphae aren't a type of mushroom, they're the filaments that make up fungi. A mushroom is a part of a fungi, made of several Hyphae joined together.
CICO is literally not the root cause. In the strict sense it can't be since it's simply a thermodynamic equation applied to body weight. Equations are not causes.

If you mean "overeating" then that's also not the reason. It's like saying that being sad is the root cause of depression.

If your analysis of obesity doesn't factor in hormons then it's not going to get you any working solutions. Which is exactly what we observe in the public health sphere since the 1970ies.

> Debt

Nobody is contesting that. What you say is true but it's also just a very obvious and unhelpful restatement of the problem.

I play soccer, badly. When better players give me feedback there is two kinds. One boils down to simply a restatement of the goals of the game: pass better, don't miss the goal, get the ball. I hope you agree that if you really think about it such exhortation are silly. What I actually need is advice that tells me HOW to achieve this.
It's the same for debt, weight loss etc.

Not to forget that Ketoers and Low Carbers starting with Attkins where and are viciously attacked by the CICO mainstream. When people here say stuff like "well get your deficit anyway you want" than this shows the influence that losing to LC for the last two decades had on the CICO faction. It wasn't like this when I started my keto journey. Back then they said it can't work because fat has the highest energy density and will make your heart explode.
Unfortunately, "it is fine in this context leave me alone" is often incorrect now or at the very least will be incorrect in the future when some other change breaks invariants that you are using to justify its correctness today. This is not always the case, but we observe very clearly that even C++ programmers using modern smart-pointer style fuck up object ownership and lifetimes.
> virtually everyone would call it an affront to democracy, as rightly so

Except that's how our government works too, the votes just aren't official and they're _far_ more effective.
Yeah, that's pretty different. That's still the programmer having to think about types as a separate entity or a runtime construct.
Similar in Lithuania, where buildings are required to be certified to A++ efficiency. Electric floor heating and air to air heat pump (aka split system) is enough. Solar panels are much better value. Cooling in summer is kinda becoming much bigger issue.

For older building even replacing wood furnace with air to water system is enough.
You're assuming it's going to be removed eventually. I have no such assumption. Also your wording sets an unjust precedent when there's no reason to have one.
as a vegan myself - have you ever considered that not every meat alternative is made for you?
> Meat eating friends who tried it all said that it was either mediocre or gross.

Mediocre is good. I eat a lot of mediocre meat. If a little bit of msg will get me over the line to "alright American comfort food", I'm in a good place. Vegetarian comfort food usually doesn't get me anywhere. I don't like avocado that much.
If you were in the vacuum of space, you would be correct. You are not trying to bring an insulated apartment-sized block of space on the ISS up from 0 to 65 or down from 110 to 80.

You are trying to change the temperature in an insulated apartment-sized block of space in an effectively infinite ambient environment which is either 0 or 110, while one or more 100W heaters is moving around in it. There's conduction and radiation and convection, all helping out or hindering.
It's generally still not buttoned up. Looks buttoned up. Doesn't make one fuck of sense. What is going on?

IRS has limited staff for those cases, can only really nail 200 a year.
Younger people with cognitive bias running the hiring shit show perhaps?
What? It's the people that focus really hard on individual liberty that call government action violence, my dude.
AFAIK it doesn't apply to outside-Germany clients. The freelancer is viewed as exporter and contributes to German export economy. Mind you, a freelancer has no social safety net, no pension, exorbitantly expensive health care (900+ EUR) and no unemployment benefits either.
I’m relieved I’m not the only one who immediately thought of what could go wrong. I’ll admit I didn’t think of the airborne part but I did immediately think of it escaping the landfills.
> It's not making any claim about any particular deaths having any particular cause.

It is, and so are you. From TFA:

led to thousands of heat-related deaths across Europe

So asking how many thousands seems like a reasonable question.
I own 2022 Volvo XC90, bought in May. Not a single issue like that. Is there an update of sorts to the software? I remember when I was taking my car from dealership they did update ‘somthing’. Car is awesome btw.
At least smart home stuff can’t send you into a ditch at 60mph
I tried impossible burgers and such many times..but over the course of months I stopped and went back to real burgers and wow. You don't know what you're missing until its gone! real burgers are just waaay better. I don't think i'd try fake meats again
I don't know much about Rust but the problem with MISRA is significant defects with the specification that force you to write bad/broken code in rare cases, and produce more work without benefit in others. A Rust MISRA standard would be great. Limited but more expressive and concise than C probably.
About the title, what is the difference between plastic eating mushrooms, and plastic-eating mushrooms?
> Drilling down to proper hot-rocks would be a much costlier scheme in most of the UK.

Is this something people do?
Likey it is the lack of retail space to build one.
TensorFlow for Swift.

Angular was “superseded” by a completely incompatible framework causing a major rewrite. Does that bode well for Flutter?

As far as Google not abandoning popular services - remember Google Reader?

Google’s entire promo culture is about engineers and product managers building something new and not maintaining old projects - this is the reason behind 6 messaging apps - three were introduced in one year.

Not to mention three completely different operating system initiatives - ChromeOS, Android, and Fuscia.
Think the same reason you buy any working business. The previous owner has managed to solve a great number of non-obvious operational problems. To name a few that come to mind:

* Established supply chain
- Working agreements with suppliers (no need to find and negotiate suppliers)
- Working logistics. Scheduling of supplies is sorted, you have reliable delivery slots with all supplies

* Employees. No need to find and train labour.

* Working pay roll, accounting, taxes. No need to create that infrastructure from scratch.

* Know good business model, with auditable accounts. You substantially de-risk the investment, because you have meaningful historical data to estimate future performance from.

* Physical infrastructure already setup. No need to find a building, buy equipment (shelves, tills etc) and setup equipment.

* Business generates revenue for new owner immediately after purchase. No time needed to solve all of the above problems, instead time can be used to grow or stabilise business.
I keep thinking window air cons should integrate heat pump and HRV. Such a simple solution for ton of problems.
> All the complaints about them are still valid

Including the complaint from the OP about how zoomers are passive? If it's true (which I'm not convinced of), it seems like a fatal flaw, unless you're saying that inaction is preferable to some of the pathologies of previous generations (presumably including mine; I was born in 1980).
I gave it a ~try. Uncooked, it looked and smelt like dog food. Went straight to trash.
I've been since AIX v3. Moving to linux 10 years ago was like coming out of the stone ages.

But it's the same for every language. Something that's a stupid hard problem that takes a huge effort to solve is suddenly a one-liner in the next release.
What? This is the first time you've mentioned anything about banning.
A lot of programmers who are 35+ can struggle to find further opportunities as the more senior you are the less available those opportunities are and the more expensive you are. Lots of companies only want young people who are naive and have limited distractions outside of work. So, really, programming as a field is front loaded and the longer you stay in the business over 35 then the luckier you have been. But make sure you have an effective exit strategy to support yourself and your family when the boss doesn't like folk older than him.
I agree with you, but imagine being a discriminatory, but rational asshole.

Of course you're not going to hire a woman if you could hire a man - they might get pregnant and be away from work for a long time.

Of course you're not going hire an older employee that knows their worth over a recent graduate that isn't familiar with the salary they should earn. You can rip them off much more easily.

People can be cunts but still act with some rational motivation. That's why we have protected categories, to make sure that that isn't a strategy worth pursuing.
Maybe because a 25 year old can work 12 hours a day, while a 40 year old often has family obligations that make that impossible.
Isn’t private capital the opposite of government spending?
> Not saying that it never works, but in general privately owned business is usually more efficient.

Selection + survivor bias. The system only advertises successful private businesses. Not gigantic cooperatives that succeed in a global scale:

I'm sorry - is Walmart owned by the U.S. government ?
If you can be the best NFL Quarterback at 45 I think you still have a shot at writing code at 40.
I disagree. All of our effort should go towards all (relatively) easily attainable reductions of emissions in parallel. Substituting consuming meat with consuming plants is such a thing for me, so I readily do it.
I had some fun digging through the PowerVR Series 1 source code [0] that was released earlier in the year. It includes a simulator that you can use to piece together how the hardware itself worked, some of it certainly looks like a rough translation from the RTL...

I am not. I am agreeing with you enthusiastically.
I'm not the person who you asked, but I think his point is with the keyword "unlimited". Fossil fuels are not unlimited, so selling a reserve of a limited asset doesn't seem to be a good strategy.
sometimes whole subreddits get deleted because of $reasons. sometimes I get to a link and a message greets me: this subreddit has been deleted because of no moderation.
The big test is not now, when Chromium discontinues content blockers, but when renewal of the contract with Google is up. For Google there is a big incentive in getting rid of ad blockers, and they have a lot of power over Mozilla being the party that is responsible for most of Mozilla's revenue.
Define "developed".
Well you responded me and my thread. So what's the point then if it's not relevant to me?

Either way I disagree. It's relevant.
They also do texture mapping, shading, and z buffering. Those things are still the core of 3D rendering.
Nobody is perplexed, but this has sadly become a Republican talking point. The facts are here [1]. Key quotes:

> However, because the price of gasoline depends largely on the cost of crude oil, which is mostly based on global supply and demand, experts told us that oil sold from the reserve does not need to stay in the U.S. to bring down gasoline prices.

> For each sale, the Energy Department announces the type and amount of oil from the four SPR sites that will be auctioned in a competitive bidding process. By law, the contracts are awarded to the companies that make the highest bids, and any company that is registered in the SPR’s Crude Oil Sales Offer Program is eligible to make an offer.

> Finley of the Baker Institute said that American refiners have to determine if they can use the reserve oil that will be released. If not, it may be of use abroad.

> “Each individual refinery is optimized for its marketplace and is built to run optimally on a certain type of crude oil and to produce a certain mix of gasoline and diesel fuel,” he told us. “And so it may be that the type of oil being offered from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve doesn’t perfectly match what the U.S. refiners are looking for and it might be a better match for the specific requirements of refiners elsewhere.” Kilian made a similar point. “If the oil released is medium sour, for example, a U.S. refiner specializing in light sweet crude would not be interested,” he explained. “There may be spare capacity at a refinery in Europe, however, that specializes in processing medium sour crude, so trade makes sense.”

US refineries are already operating essentially at capacity [2] for various reasons. So no matter what, the crude oil that gets released that can't be refined here has to be exported.

There was also a lot of cool and important shit that was made due to the same conditions. I hope things turn around asap. Cheap money is good for fake progress as much as it is for real progress.
I learned how to code when I was twelve. I wouldn't have if I didn't in some degree enjoy the actual act of coding, the moment to moment typing on the keyboard, composing algorithms, designing data structures and logical flows. But in the back of my mind I also always regarded coding as a means to an end. Sure I became engaged in language design battles, API design philosophy, but the magic with computers was always, for me, that you could create something from nothing, this totally metaphysical creativity, really. To some extent I see this passion transgressing to other spheres, such as management, communication, planning across departments, office politics. As an adult, I don't play video games, and artistic pursuits and ideals have also become more abstract, the particularities more sedimented, incorporated in the grand scheme of Life. On top of that, the fact is that most programming jobs are glorified plumbing. I'm reconciling with the fact that the romantic days of hacking are perhaps a thing of my passed. I don't really listen to music the way I did as a teenager, so I can't expect programming to remain the same either.
We're kind of making it happen already - all around the world people are having less children than in the past.
Written english and oral english are different worlds. I agree with the TV recommendations. What lots of "Friends," hopefully laugh, and try to imitate the lines as best you can.
Odum's system has numerous problems.

One is that the "transformity" (ratio of emergy to energy) is path dependent. One ear of corn might have been produced with more or less water or fertilizer, both of which contain more emergy than the sunlight that falls on it.

Another is that you can't trace all energy to "the" sun or at least not our sun. The energy of Thorium and Uranium in the Earth's crust probably came from two other stars that became neutron stars and crashed into each other.

Emergy accounting does a good job of accounting for externalities of consumption (e.g. trace back water use in Central Valley agriculture to Shasta Lake) but doesn't do a good job of accounting for the production of noxious influences.

The latter may be intractable, may really be the death of environmental accounting, because instead of producing one number for a product you produce numerous numbers. How can you compare 1 g of tetraethyl lead in the air to 1 ton of CO2? A megacurie of Krypton 85 to a kilogram of PFAS?

There is a field of "multiobjective optimization" that considers these problems but leaves as many questions as answers in that different people are going to see the trade-offs differently.

(It reminds me of the doomed project where I was working with some people to create an "NQ" score for the nutritional value of food and we couldn't get consensus on how to combine factors. For instance it is good to eat riboflavin but you can't give nutritional yeast, which colors your urine bright yellow with riboflavin, a score proportional to how much riboflavin it has. It wasn't clear to us if it really made sense to evaluate individual foods... You really need to eat protein/Vitamin C/Zinc if you haven't had any today, you don't need to if you have. We weren't even sure you could assign it to foods w/o reference to portion size... One scoop of ice cream is not so bad but the whole box is something different.)
