D's Compile Time Function Evaluation can use operator new to allocate memory. It's an extremely useful non-feature.

One major use is to create strings at compile time, which are then fed back into the compiler as D code. I.e. metaprogramming.
Mocking the Police Is Not a Crime
I've ported a small Zig program to C++ and spent a long time and a lot of lines of code on the stuff that comptime can do which C++ cannot.
No allocations? So you can't do string formatting? Or is that a special case that is somehow supported?

and then started trying to hit on her and even touch her

Should I tell her your manager was hitting on you ?

Hitting on someone is heavy flirting. Flirting does not involve touching, especially if that person is your subordinate. Either way that is a power conflict. Just tell her what you told us, just the facts. If she wants your help then find out if anyone else witnessed what happened.

To clarify this is if she is your friend. If just a colleague then just talk to HR and let them sort it out.

No that was still written in C++. The new game that he's working on is written in Jai.
Jai allows compile time execution of system calls. We (the D team) considered this, and rejected it because we didn't want users to be worried that there'd be some malicious source code that could delete their file system if they just ran it through the compiler.

Developers dont need local admin rights to develop software, plenty of devs at regulated industries work with user rights.

And statistics of developers falling victim of phish attack, credentials stealing that leads to major breach - there are plenty. The most recent Uber hack or Okta hack - were all tied to developer clicking on stupid stuff, opening executables from Internet and getting his a$$ owned.

You just gotta accept the fact that developers are not security specialists, most of them cant even create a software without introducing plenty of bugs and vulnerabilities. They mostly google stuff and copypaste from stackoverflow, install shady barely working packages and copypaste directly into production whatever code snippet they found on the first page of Google results. Thats why they need extra control from security specialists

> The US is not the country actively committing genocide

The country that claims that there is a genocide in Xinjiang is the country that lied for EIGHT years about nonexistent Iraqi WMDs. And its the US.

Every. Single. Muslim majority country backed China at the UN after sending representatives to Xinjiang. They said that there is no such thing as a 'genocide' there. Its the US State Dept. word versus every single muslim majority country and their parliamentarians.

...

Today its easy to understand why people bought into the Iraqi WMDs lie back then: Because it makes them feel good, righteous, and the 'right side'.
We're already capable of huge energy releases using fusion. And also of machines that can run for decades with nuclear power, both via rtgs and just fission.
ML Paper Count Doubles Every Two Years
I’m just gonna say this - Elixir flat out does not need strong typing. People who think it does, need to learn how to use structs, guards & change sets properly. 99.9% of the time we are interested in “Accounts” or “widgets”, if it’s important enough to be in your domain model you can spend 2 minutes creating a struct for it, boom no need of types. I realize some very smart people work on Gleam and such, and I don’t really want to claim I know more than them, but seriously I think if you find yourself reaching for types in Elixir you just don’t grok that it’s a high-level language and types will only get in the way! Stop thinking like a C/python/JS programmer, start thinking like a prolog/lisp programmer!! We want to get away from worrying about ints vs floats and deal with high-level constructs that match our domain model, NOT regress into strict typing.
You aren't wrong, but CEOs are also herd animals. Someone starts talking about a new initiative or a new idea, suddenly they are all talking about it to keep up with the Joneses. So when enough start talking about cuts or scaling back hiring, they all have to address it or they fear looking out of touch. Cuts can also help pad quarterly numbers, regardless of the real health of the company, so it can help those execs keep their job just a bit longer so long as it looks like they are demonstrating leadership.
Snide comment, painful to read. Why should he say something that’s not true just to make people think he’s gay? Your logic is flawed.
Conversely, if you spent 3 years writing Erlang, you are suddenly not one of a hundreds of thousands of candidates, but a part of a much smaller pool, and having an expertise in a semi-esoteric language along whatever mainstream languages you know is a strong signal that you’re not just an average bear.

It also means you’re competing in a much smaller market and people looking for strong Erlang developers will be suddenly very interested in you specifically, because it’s tough to find strong candidates with this expertise.

It also might mean (depending on your interests) that positions that are open are in a more intellectually interesting problem space, because boring problems tend to be solved in the lowest common denominator languages, and if an unusual language is chosen, it might be chosen because it’s a being used in a unique context.
Didn’t repealing it make the 2008 financial crisis worse?
Well, I think in this particular case, the mixed usage of different pronouns is what makes it unclear. There’s usually nothing wrong with using singular “they” - and it’s not a new thing, not by a long shot.

I think this kind of wording should not be normalized on this website, and asking for someone to be shot is a gross exaggeration. The amount of disrespect for the developers, designers and victims and families of those affected by gun violence (including women affected by domestic violence).

I suggest you expand your lexicon in the future and use the appropriate choice of words.

Because when you throw your resume out there and a hiring manager is looking for a “full stack developer who knows (Java || C# || Python) && Typescript” why would he choose you over someone who could hit the ground running and add immediate value?
I'd be curious for examples. In a weird spot where I'm decently familiar with C++, D, and Zig and it would make for good blogpost material to compare comptime implementations for the same thing across languages IMO.
I’m guessing they figured that the lowest common denominator was rather close to the “median” common denominator.
I'll keep repeating this one forever, but - that's not an issue. This would end spam calls immediately: "if you can't tell who's the source or if the source is international, you're responsible and will be fined per spam call".

Telcos are not clueless or powerless. They can put pressure on international peers to not send spam, but have no incentive currently. No real telco wants to lose partners.

I am ready to consider that proposition as soon as I see quantitative evidence.

It seem it is possible to write specifications that cannot easily be met by incremental change, and that might be one reason why the British aircraft industry ended up creating technically competent aircraft with little sales potential.
It needs a bunch of love. It really needs a way to define new builtins externally, and it needs co-routines. And it needs a way to do binary (my idea: treat binary as an array of small integers, and if you ever insert any other kind of value, then you either get an error or you get an array that's mostly of small integers and no longer "binary" in any way).

> A good example of this is when the state tells you that you can vote, and then arrests you and charges you with voter fraud, because you actually can't. [1]

I'm confused. How is this voter suppression? You agree the person in question had no right to vote, right? So no one's vote is being suppressed.

The only way the election is unfair in this case is if the vote was counted.

Moreover, I see no difference in this practice than how we prosecute people for tax fraud. Several times I call the IRS and they tell me one rule and then it turns out they adjust my tax later. Luckily mine is so simple they can do that but I imagine if it were more complicated they wouldn't and I would be liable.

Yup. We had a team gathering on Gather a few days ago. Basically a bunch of us hung around and chatted, then logged off. There was some social encountering during those minutes, then it was over. Nobody idling like back in the 2003 IRC era.
Callers with blocked caller ID get screened by Google for me, and I rarely ever hear from them -- but I get a ton of calls from people who either have spoofed numbers or who have temporarily picked up a "source" number based in my area code.

It's gotten to the point where if it's a local call I almost always assume it's spam, but I still need to answer.

If it's a doctor's office trying to make an appointment, for instance, then getting through to the same person who knows why you're trying to make the appointment so you don't need to give them 100x as much information yet again? Yeah, at that point it's much better to just answer a few spam calls instead of ignoring all of the unfamiliar numbers.

I have a kid in college and another in high school. A dead phone could mean I could be getting a call from one of them from any number. I just can't ignore them all.

I'm happy for you that your life is simple enough that you can just ignore anything you don't recognize, but try not to act as if the rest of us are doing something wrong because we're happy that the FCC is attacking the underlying problem and ignoring the pain we need to deal with.

> "The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators

Congress can regulate elections for representatives, but they cannot run them. The president or the executive of the federal government cannot run elections. Only state executives (governors, secretaries of state) can run an election.

This is separation of powers.
Yeah, I definitely don't care what backend language experience someone has before hiring them.

I haven't had the same luck with frontend. There's so much magic, config file hell, and other rough edges that you need someone who knows the framework. In the JS world, actually writing code is maybe 50% of the work, and managing the ecosystem (config, build, packages, etc.) is the rest.
Yeah, the problem is, dnsimple.com isn't going to NOT charge you for the same thing. They have T&Cs too.

IIUC you're saying Google's algorithmic implementations of policy enforcement do not robustly or adequately address ethical concerns. Isn't the same true for, iono, the whole web? Human-based ethics don't scale either and can be worse (I mean, isn't that the issue with hiring pipelines? Juries?)

I think it's gotten a ton better vs 10 years ago, and is getting better still.

More on topic -- when folks here complain that Google can't release these models, it's not like they're just sitting there using that as an excuse -- Google has entire teams dedicated to ML safety trying to figure out how to filter out bad stuff, make models fairer, and avoid situations like M$FT's "Tay" (or worse).
I'd agree, but I'm probably older than you (52) and remember the pressure to have cool clothes like Members Only jackets in the 1980s. Smartphones are the modern version. It's easy to stand by as a parent and say "you don't need this, son" but an adult (or even a college student) can buck trends and seem all the cooler for it, but it doesn't work that way in high school or younger.

Battery technology is NOT on any kind of exponential curve.

We’ve been waiting decades for the promise of renewable energy. Time is running out quickly.

I get that no one likes to admit they were wrong, but it’s 2022 and not 1985. All that squandered time means we’re unlikely to avoid serious climate issues

UPDATE

Just to be crystal clear: Battery technology is NOT on any kind of exponential curve.

People who are telling us to wait because they think they’re improving exponentially are sending us past the point of no return

The crash didn't happen because of 1 banker, but it did happen because of things he, and his contemporaries dreamed up.

Basically bankers make money when money flows. It flows only when "there is something better". So to keep making money there always has to be "something better" and ultimately that becomes unsustainable.

1929 was a re-adjustment, where all the bullshit is cleaned away. It was perhaps the first time it impacted such a large portion of society. An education of the masses if you will. Crashes did, and will, keep happening again - as long as the myth of "forever going up" persists.

In the early 2000s it was property. Today its (maybe /likely /probably) crypto.

At least today society is notably, collectively, smarter. There are a lot more naysayers in general, and whole there will be crashes, they tend to be more limited in scope and reach.

But greed, the root of all of this, will always be with us. Greed offers some to be winners, but most to be losers.

I hope more and more instructors create such high quality content and put it online for the world to collectively learn and create a better place out there.

I find many instructors in upper level courses do this. But for introductory courses, most materials are locked in. I don't understand why? Only MIT seems to do this consistently (they have huge amounts of money, it seems).

Another such course is : https://cs3110.github.io/textbook/cover.html. Still upper level.

A set of lower level core courses like intro to programming, intro to low level programming, discrete math, algorithm design, etc. will totally change the game. More and more people would be interested in upper level courses then and we would get more researchers and practitioners in the field to march forward.

To be fair I have no idea about the full stack life. I, however, am also not convinced they add "immediate" value. Once you're beyond mid-level being a so-called generalist is not as useful. Most of my work at high senior, and now staff level requires actual deep knowledge of the preferred stack. I have yet to meet a reformed full stack developer in our ranks and there are tons we hire, and even more that come through the door.
I think I understand the point you're trying to make, but funnily enough, based on the current methods, yes.

That's not to say that the blades are more dangerous than the nuclear waste, just that the nuclear waste has many years of waste management engineering behind it, due to its danger. So there are defined processes of management that are well tested, well designed and well implemented.

Processes for blades currently are just bury them in landfill, which causes a bunch of unmitigated issues.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-02-05/wind-turb...

The idea that we "just bury" nuclear waste in the same way a dog buries a bone, is kinda funny, but very far from reality.

This also doesn't even touch on nuclear waste recycling, which is enormously beneficial.
