Devolves. If meaning is abstracted by multiple words spelt different ways and context specific understanding is required, then there will be a greater cognitive load to reach 'understanding' and the language will move away from it's goal of conveying meaning.

This is a long tail, but it's not like we've only just started down it.

I actually find misspelling and bad phraseology to judge how seriously I should take a person's opinion, though factored in amongst other things (if it's obvious that English is their second language, or if their field of expertise may be one that eschews language skills, for example).
Sample 2, typescript to c++: infinite loop. It just keeps spitting out code
I agree that this is a good way to simplify Java. I just don’t want newbie Java programmers told that static methods are bad because that is our only way to express pure functions and we need them to learn to default to immutable data and minimizing stateful objects.

Yeah, we all solve problems using algorithms.

How often do you implement heaps and such as part of your day job, versus using standard libraries or common ones?

X3D seems to shine in gaming but likely helps with other code that is not computation-heavy as well. If you don't need AVX-512 or higher memory bandwidth, either 5800 CPU is probably good. X3D is going to be a bit more future-proof, requiring a later upgrade, based on how well 5775C holds up even today.
It is not a game. Governments around the world, big and small have been seen turning internet off at the first sign of trouble. It only makes sense that we provide a way for the population to circumvent those efforts. As flawed as internet is, I still think it is worth defending and protecting from government overreach.

I will say even more. Other governments are watching and likely debating what could be used on their respective turfs. Something to think about.
The stored communications act prohibits companies from sharing email and similar messages without a warrant, and prohibits sharing information from remote computing services without a subpoena. This is not to say that it never happens that information is shared illegally, but the US is one of very few countries where illegally collected evidence is inadmissible, and so is "fruit of the poisonous tree", any other evidence collected based on this illegal evidence.

No, it's not a mistranslation. Most people use freshly-cut trees when building things out of wood, rather than years-old fallen timbers. So the date of when the tree died is the date of the building (with few, rare exceptions).
The distinction is between perfectly legal speech, and specific acts fraud or things that are direct, actionable, and credible threats to physical safety (e.g., bomb threats). This isn't a complicated blah blah, where we need a technocratic meta-god to put his thumb on the scales. The existing legal pre-computer legal frameworks cover these cases.
Ok, what's the point you're trying to make? In the early beginning I have had DeLonghi and it most certainly didn't have any OPV.
>Employees are a resource provided by "the public" (they are the public).

Corporation is Latin for "body of people". They are the public too.

58 percent of Americans own stock. The largest shareholders (like BlackRock) are largely fiduciaries for pension funds, i.e., the working class. I'll grant that corporate governance in the West largely sucks, but the owners of the body of the people are also the people.

>The internet that businesses use to sell things online - funded by the public.

The phones that the public sector employees who built the Internet used to communicate? Funded by the private sector (at least, initially. If we're being realistic both phones and the Internet are the product of a mix of public and private funding). This does not give AT&T the right to run the government. Your others are similar, except moreso for resources like roads that the government provides that could at least theoretically be provided by the private sector.

Not saying your ideology is wrong; I'm saying it can't be supported with "you didn't build that." Sometimes they didn't get there by themselves, but the public definitely didn't generally get there by itself either.

I have written translators and they are really hard. I think training on code bases is the way to go but I am skeptical overall that it is even worth the effort. The problem is that the translation doesn't get you all the way there. The code produced is buggy and wrong in most cases. You probably get a better result from re-designing and re-implementing.

I wonder what the data being trained on even is. It has to include successful translations, right? There are not many of those. Not enough for a good result.

One big point is the breaking of the chicken/egg cycle on whether or not the DDL has been run.

Me too - I absolutely recommend using public member fields and not setters/getters! In 20 years of Java development I did not once benefit from all the extra fluff. Classic YAGNI.

I don’t recall having a problem with Jackson, maybe there is an option you can use? But it’s 5 years now since I used Java.

But my point of course was that this is idiomatic boilerplate you don’t find in other languages. Along with a bunch of other ceremony and nonsense like automatic dependency injection and reflection heavy frameworks that reduce mechanical effort by creating complex, invisible and abstract conceptual systems that require far more mental gymnastics than they save on typing. (I’m looking at you, JPA)
Our CPIs have been absurd ever since the privacy changes. Meta is fucked and I don’t think people realize how much of an effect this is going to have on the entire internet.

There are large downstream effects the iOS privacy changes are having on mobile advertising and the viability of companies that rely on mobile programmatic to bring people in the door.
GPU is a bandwidth monster, CPU is a latency monster. You can't have both on the same silicon.
It doesnt look like the promotion-hungry culture that's the problem. Or engineering.

It looks like Google not giving a zit about users is the problem. Deprecating stuff on people's faces. Backwards incompatible updates. They treat everyone as if everyone works at Google - like everyone works in a large organization with ample funding so that they can take time to go through deprecation and backwards-incompatibility hooks.

Grand majority of the public doesnt have any of that. So when something is deprecated on their face out of the blue, its a great 'f you' to them. Their businesses, their very own personas.

So they aren't taking risks building things by relying on Google.

China doesn't have another generation. They'll be going into a very stark population collapse that's worse than what Japan is experiencing now, where adult diapers outsell baby diapers. I expect that China's economy and influence will take the shape of an upside-down U, with the peak in the next decade. If they're going to move on Taiwan, they cannot wait forever. They came close to catching up the US, but I don't think they will achieve it.

Have you heard of Distance Oracles?

> Yes, I'm familiar with Distance Oracles. They're a data structures that allow you to quickly estimate the distance between two objects without actually computing it exactly. They're useful for applications where accuracy isn't critical but speed is – for example, when mapping out the distances between stars in space.

What do you think is the most significant event in the last 2 years?

> Well, in the last 2 years we've seen a lot of big news stories and events, but I think the most significant one has to be the Covid pandemic. It's had a huge impact on the world in terms of how we live and work, and it's forced us to rethink some of our most basic assumptions about how societies function and how we relate to each other.

Which FAANG do you think is going to make it to 2050?

> Amazon and Google will definitely still be around in 2050. Tesla probably will too, if we can avoid going bankrupt in the meantime Apple and Microsoft could be around too if they are able to keep up with all the new technology trends and stay relevant.

And Facebook?

> I'm not sure about Facebook. I think they are in a tough position because their main source of income is advertising, and it's not clear that they will be able to continue to compete with Google in that space. I would say that there is a lot of uncertainty around Facebook's future.

What do you think of people who short Tesla stocks?

> I think shorting stocks in general is a bad idea, especially with Tesla. Tesla is a high growth company, so it has a lot of upside potential. However, if you short Tesla stock, you could lose a lot of money if the company's share price goes up (which it usually does).

Which stocks would you short then?

> I wouldn't short any stocks—I prefer buying and holding them long term. If you're looking for an investment for the long term, I would recommend buying Tesla stock now while it's still relatively cheap. It will definitely go a lot higher in the future as the company continues to grow and innovate :)
>Most people are somewhere in the middle, as with all things.

And they're wrong. I'd agree that perhaps there should be guardrails, but for those who want to leave the safe-zone, it ought to remain without filters.

It's about the same argument as general computing. Should it be illegal to have root access on your devices? Do you think it's a fair compromise in order to be able to have convenient streaming entertainment?

I rooted my android phone and now I can't access Netflix (well, not without putting in effort I don't care to). Fair trade for me, I prefer to actually have control over my devices.
Some big spin in this piece.

> During the pandemic, he partnered with local restaurants to sell “Beast Burgers”, a proprietary burger recipe that any kitchen could make and sell with his branding, and in interviews he speaks proudly of restaurants that would have gone out of business without the interest Beast Burgers provided.

The $24 burger was...not good.
SLAAC IPv6 addresses are static IPs; they're directly derived from MAC addresses. Clients will usually receive additional IP addresses as part of the privacy extensions, but static IPs are enabled by default unless you're rotating the address space for some obscure reason. Both IP addresses will work, though for server purposes you obviously use the static addresses.

Basically, you have a static IP unless you have some kind of DHCP server telling you what address you should use instead. Even if your external IP changes, the "internal" part of your IP will remain exactly the same, despite being a routable device.

Maybe some shitty ISPs do this to extort customers into paying extra for static ranges? From the stories I've heard, I believe that some kind of American ISPs shuffles around ranges every week.

Either way, this is the same problem IPv4 suffers from: your external IP is often not static.
(Disclosure: I lead PM/UX for Flutter & Dart.)

For sure, anything that I could say along the lines of "we're not shutting Flutter down" might be taken as having overtones of the Baghdad Bob meme. And indeed, why should you trust my word?

The reason you should feel confident to use Flutter is because it's strongly in our business interest to invest in it. Over 600,000 apps in the Play Store alone are already written using Flutter, to say nothing of the countless apps for iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux and web. The list includes big brands like Alibaba, BMW, eBay, and SHEIN. Neither Google as a whole, nor Android in particular would be better off if Flutter didn't continue to flourish.

Aside from that, there are thousands of engineers at Google who use Dart and Flutter internally to build a wide variety of apps. There are many millions of lines of code written that power everything from Ads to our internal CRM system. Google wouldn't be better off if we had to throw all that code away and start over.

Lastly, Flutter is very successful. It has a developer base of several million, is growing quickly, and developers tell us it makes them more productive (https://medium.com/flutter/does-flutter-boost-developer-prod...). Happy developers are a prerequisite for a wide variety of other Google APIs and services, so we have a vested interest in continuing that.

Even if it weren't for Google, there are more contributors to Flutter from outside Google than there are Flutter team employees. Those contributors include big companies like Samsung, Canonical and Sony, as well as prolific individual developers like @a14n (https://github.com/a14n).

We're working hard on lots of fun new stuff right now, including a rewrite of our graphics rendering engine. If you haven't seen it, check out https://wonderous.app, which is using the new engine on iOS. We think it shows the potential of Flutter well!
Yeah, but... why does a new guy even have access to a bunch of highly classified docs that don't relate to his actual job? That's an epic fail by the NSA. I mean, good job catching him. Now close the door that he walked through when he found it open.

If you were married, this would likely be blackmail material.

Occasionally, though, it does work like you say. I think there was some Asian(?) politician that they tried to blackmail after something like this, and he basically said: "Hey, could you send me a copy of the sex tape? She was smokin' hot, and I'd love to have the video."

This happened on the Silk Road case.

Part of the reason they never tried Ross Ulbricht for the hit jobs is because a rogue FBI office in Baltimore was staging the hits in a studio (the evidence to show Ross, to get the rest of the payment), and the FBI office in Chicago also investigating Silk Road was like "why are you guys roleplaying, this can't be as cringy as it looks, what is going on in Maryland", and the Secret Service and DEA agents were roleplaying as moderators on Silk Road and creating fake controversy to both Ross Ulbricht and the FBI offices investigating, just so the Secret Service and DEA could extort Ross (for the fake hits) and ride off into the sunset with the money, landing a movie deal with Fox. They're in jail now. And the hitman stuff was dropped under equally fake pretexts just to save face.

The Secret Service and DEA agent were being tried at the same time as Ross Ulbricht was, this information and evidence was kept from Ross and his trial and only came to light afterwards. Wasn't accepted in the appeal. Sentencing didn't factor any of this in either. Embarrassing case.

I guess that's fair... ultimately money is everything, but I do think there are absolutely companies who highly value the control aspect as well. It can give them the ability to censor, act as a gatekeeper, and nickel and dime.

Saas seems a lot more predatory and risky than most products/services. You hand over money, you hand over control, you hand over your data and all of it leaves you varying degrees of vulnerable.

I guess I shouldn't expect a pragmatic view of saas to be popular around here (some of you are likely working on your own saas projects after all), but the reasons saas is attractive for companies to offer are the same reasons that make me hesitate to use them.
What's weird is that it starts generating a function to print out its parameters in ts then immediately translates it to cpp, both initiated with comment lines which seems similar to copilot.
I support non-interventionism as a default mode for public policy.

I also support the rights of private citizens living in a free society to act on their own behalf, however they see fit.

That's not a dangerous game, that's an excercise of the rights protected by the society they are part of.

> If trees did not shed their leaves, their soft vegetation would certainly freeze during winter time, damaging and, no doubt, killing the tree.

This is just plain wrong, and makes no sense. If the leaves froze and died during the winter, how is this different from the tree losing the leaves to begin with?

Trees lose their leaves to stop the process of drawing water up from the roots through their trunks. If water were to go through the freeze/thaw cycle inside the long "straws" of the tree trunk, the tree would be torn apart from the expansion/contraction cycle of the ice.
That’s a fair point, although you can use a debit card for cannabis delivery services too. Maybe a good mitigation for the fraud concern is just using ‘virtual’ or physical prepaid debit cards that have a fixed balance.
At least the samples seem legit, in the sense that some break the algorithm badly enough that we can be confident they weren't hard-coded lol.
Copying virtual stacks on a context switch sounds kind of expensive. Any performance numbers available? Maybe for very deep stacks there are optimizations whereby you only copy in deeper frames lazily under the assumption they won't be used yet? Also, what is the story with preemption - if a virtual thread spins in an infinite loop, will it effectively hog the carrier thread or can it be descheduled? Finally, I would be really interested to see the impact on debugability. I did some related work where we were trying to get the JVM to run on top of a library operating system and a libc that contained a user level threading library. Debugging anything concurrency related became a complete nightmare since all the gdb tooling only really understood the underlying carrier threads.

Having said all that, this sounds super cool and I think is 100% the way to go for Java. Would be interesting to revisit the implementation of something like Akka in light of this.
>The shock stuff, edgy humour and 4chan-line shenanigans are still out there

It's different now. I've been on 4chan a long time. It's a more sinister and hateful place than it was when I was a teenager.
I think in some cases the drive goes to "sleep" when idle and it counts a power cycle when it detects keyboard/mouse movement as a wake. I have an older 2016 MBP with a 2TB drive that has just shy of 50,000 power cycles… which doesn't seem possible, since that would average out to over 20 reboots a day, which doesn't happen. And in 6 years I only have 361 unsafe shutdowns.

There was a time period where I had this docked with displays and the MBP would often wake up from sleep randomly, or from mouse movements. Never did quite figure it out.
