There's a difference between having a general business model of selling hardware as a loss leader, and protecting that business model with contract terms. Cellular carriers sell you subsidized locked phones on contract, with an early termination fee to recoup that subsidy. Game console manufacturers just take the risk that you might not buy enough games/services to recoup that loss. If Cisco doesn't have something comparable to the smartphone contracts binding their customers, then bricking devices for unauthorized use is pretty indefensible. And it's especially bad if they do so for devices that are no longer on contract and have been resold to third parties, unless such sales are legally prohibited in the first place.

>that's how society works though... Societally these are things that we have determined are important and deserve funding.

I always found this to be a non-compelling answer. Society can mean any number of things and changes all the time. You can say the same thing about anything you want.

Obviously "Society" had decided that individuals were responsible for the college debt that they took on until this last year, and then it changed. Never mind the fact that neither society at large or their elected representatives voted on it, just a single individual via executive action.

If you strip away the appeal to "society", it is just an argument that more redistribution is better than less.

Your dev machine getting pwned is bad, but your CI server getting screwed up is worse.

This way you don't need to sandbox the compiler, and it can freely use system resources and access source trees. You only need to sandbox the execution.

(As some people point out in this thread, editors are starting to use compilers to get overall meta-information, too-- if you can't even -view the code- to tell if it's malicious without getting exploited, that's bad).
C++ is my favorite language. When I started my 'side project' (a new kind of data management system called Didgets) I used it exclusively.

Before I semi-retired to work on the project full-time, I would sometimes check out the help-wanted postings for various software companies. It became more and more rare to see a job posting that focused on C++ skills. Systems level programming and being able to write very performant code does not seem to be nearly as high a priority today.

This. I felt an almost cringe-like reaction from reading the article. It reminds me of Goodhart's Law: when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

Still have the visual snow, increased palinopsia, and "coloured dots" that last about 1 second, from time to time (those have decreased exponentially over the years).

I would classify that act of editing as "completing the remaining 10% of the work." Somebody has to do it, whether you're doing it from the writing side as in your example, or making the reader do it from their side, as in my grandparent comment's example. But it's usually the last 10% of anything that's the hardest, so if someone abdicates that to a machine and signs their name to it (claiming they said it, and taking responsibility for it) they're kind of an asshole, in both the schlemiel and the schlemozel senses of the word.

I could extrapolate in my extremely judgmental way that the person who does that probably has a grandiose sense of how valuable their own time is, first of all, and secondly an impractical and sheepishly obedient devotion to big weddings with guest-lists longer than the list of people they actually give a shit about. Increase efficiency in your life further upstream, by inviting fewer people! (Yeah right, might as well tell them to save money by shopping less and taking fewer trips. Like that would ever work!)

But I digress, and anyway don't take any of that too seriously, as 20 years ago I was saying the same kinds of things about mobile phones... like "Who do you think you are, a surgeon, with that phone?" Notice it's inherently a scarcity-based viewpoint, based on the previous however-many years when mobile phones really were the province only of doctors and the like. Now they're everywhere... So, bottom line, I think the thank-you notes are a lousy use of the tech, but just like the trivial discretionary conversations I hear people having on their mobile phones now that they're ubiquitous, this WILL be used for thank-you notes!

Yes and the best part is that companies instead of migrating from Java to something lighter are simply trying new things like GraalVM which makes native executables.

So your developers can keep on writing crappy and heavy spring boot applications (which need 10-15 seconds in best case scenarios to to start) and eventually be "graalvm-ed" to produce a native executable that starts in < 1 sec.

I mean, that's a brilliant evolution (no jokes). This is how you keep in the game without getting devoured by Go and similar.
Steam for a long time also charged something like 30%, so that wasn't a free lunch. Even now it isn't. I'm not saying we shouldn't have a discussion on what the console manufacturers do and how much they take as their cut, but we should be careful to equate the two ecosystems. My worry is Apple going 'See, if they can do it, why can't we?'

If we treat the two as separate problems, though with similar outcomes, we might be more successful finding a cure to both rather than a bandaid to either.

> The only way to reduce prices of oil/gas and fertilizers (for food) is to bring back the amount of oil/gas and ammonia that went offline due to Russia. There is no amount of digging anywhere in the world that will quickly replace this much lost natural resource.

At least this has a modicum of common sense to it.

As others have pointed out, oil prices fluctuate all the time though. So do food prices.

Gas can affect retail prices, because to me, common sense says, you use gas, not oil, to move food from wherever it is to the supermarket and into people's carts, back to their homes. And gas prices are not oil prices. And a lot of the price of many goods is, secretly, gas, because that is how the people get to where they work, how the goods that are otherwise useless without transportation get to where they're sold, etc.

> What raising interest rates will do is cause less spending in all non-oil/gas goods and services.

So what? The CPI, even the "core" CPI, is food and gas, or food and gas in disguise.

Even if you buy less clothing, a lot of the price of the clothes doesn't come from demand. It comes from the price of the gas used to move it from A to B and all the people involved moving it, and the price of the food to feed all the people who made it and sell it. Gas and food are hiding in all the inputs of clothes. There is a floor on the cost of clothes, it keeps rising, what exactly will increasing interest rates do to the rising (producer's) cost of clothes?

You’re talking on a micro level, the OP is talking about macro monetary theory. It’s not about individuals borrowing money, it’s about companies and banks borrowing money and how difficult that is. Monetary supply past m1 is produced by banks borrowing and lending money, and limiting that directly limits monetary supply.
Repeating something I said downthread: being a General Counsel for a VC firm or a company has very little to do with Constitutional Law or First Amendment law or, really, even defamation (which is something that does come up in companies). If the GC of a typical company has to deal with a defamation suit, they retain outside counsel to do it, because the law is hyperspecialized.

First Amendment Twitter runs a cottage industry of dunks on well-regarded lawyers saying stupid things about 1A jurisprudence. I'm not a lawyer, but I follow 1A Twitter, and I think this would qualify; for instance: the "incitement" section refers to "clear and present danger", which is the Schenck standard, which was famously overturned by Brandenburg. My understanding is that this, to 1A law, is about as fundamental as knowing the difference between a hash table and a tree is to a software developer.

> With rust quite often ... it will run `cargo check`

Yup. But making "cargo check" safe while "cargo run" stays vulnerable just reduces the number of times you run malicious code. And whether malicious code runs on my laptop every time I edit a file or every hour or every week makes absolutely no difference. One run and the malware can persist and run whenever it wants going forwards.

> Which at the very least negates the need for a pop-up in your editor asking for permission.

My argument is that the pop-up is security theater. I've disabled it, I don't think it should be enabled by default.

[1]: I'm handwaving slightly to get from "your code depends on a malicious library" to "malicious code is run". If I recall correctly there's linker tricks that could do that, or you could just have every entrypoint call some innocuous sounding setup function that runs the malicious code.

Yes, this is the point I wanted to raise. It's not just phones. The first minute of everything is torture now. It takes minutes to turn on the TV and navigate menus and establish connections to sources and get to the point where everything is buffered and playing smoothly. I watch a lot less TV than I did when I was younger, despite the vastly expanded amount of content that is available, because it's just too much trouble.

Other appliances are similar. Playing music, you used to turn on the radio and maybe dial in a station. Or put a record on the turntable, or a cassette tape in the deck and press "Play".

Appliances much the same. You had power and maybe one or two analog dial controls. Controls in your car were the same. Everything was tactile. Feedback was both physical and immediate. Nothing needed accounts or logins or apps to use.

> C style arrays, for example, are 100% inferior to std::array.

Are the advantages of std::array over C arrays big enough to add 8kloc to each compilation unit though? (https://www.godbolt.org/z/8noTndhcv)

A range-checked std::array replacement can probably be written in a few dozen lines of code.

That's the problem with all C++ stdlib headers, they are incredibly overengineered for what they bring to the table.
This implies that China wants to collaborate on equal terms, but I don't think that's the case. Experience over the past several decades seems to suggest that Chinese "collaboration" is mostly one-way: "sure, you can buy our cheap goods, but we get to keep the fruits of our R&D for ourselves".

> Long build times

Build times in C++ projects nowadays are mainly the result of naive approaches to project structure and total lack of care towards modularity. On top of that we also have helpers such as ccache and the like to further reduce build times by not having to build at all.
Oh, but people will stop buying so much food and gas, just not directly. Without enough money, some people will cancel their planned trip to Hawaii. That's a lot of gas not burning right there. Or they won't buy another TV, which needs gas to be delivered to your home. With less people competing for precious gas, its prices drop.
I've been a Windows user from Win98 until Win10, until I finally migrated to Linux and had to use mac for some time as well. The good, bad and ugly of windows:

The good:

- It works out of box in many more cases than Linux. Mac is, of course, better, but only because it only works on strictly controlled hardware. Linux is much harder to setup on a random hardware, especially if it's new (I'm having real trouble with my Fedora on Amd Zen4 7950x and Nvidia Rtx 4090 right now).

- Many games only work on windows. This is changing, fortunately, but for the moment Windows is the only platform to play many titles.

The bad:

Using windows is becoming harder and harder in each release. What was nicely organized in a control panel is now a maze of many windows. When you click an option, you are usually taken to a window with very few options. If you need something else, there is no clear way to know where to go. You might click a link and a legacy control panel item shows up. Or this window might navigate somewhere else. You cannot have multiple instances of settings window open. If I'm experimenting with something and I need to make a change to sound settings, I need to start over and find that page. I can go on and on, but using Windows 11 is many ties more complex than 7. It seems they want to mimic Mac, but what they forget is that their users are those who did not choose Mac for one reason or another. Becoming a less interesting copy of Apple has failed MS times and times (RIP Windows Phone), but they keep insisting on it. Give me any Linux desktop, or mac, or a phone, and ask to make a change to a setting. It's much faster than doing the same on Windows 11, even if you've been an experienced Win 10 user.

The ugly:

Windows is hostile to its users. It installs many apps that I cannot uninstall some. Forces me to use a Microsoft account. I want my machine to be predictable and transparent, it is not: I don't know what my online account is sharing with MS. I don't know how to turn things off. Even things such a preventing a web search in start menu requires going to regedit (or gpedit). You don't feel that you are paying a company to serve you. This would be good for a free OS. But one that costs multiple hundreds? No, I should trust you, I can't.

So on my new machine I tried Win 11, but I'm not convinced to buy it (cost is not a problem after spending 5k+ on hardware).
Yeah, we're probably never going to be able to compete with PowerShell's sheer volume of Windows integration points. Shelling out to pwsh is probably the best we can do in some situations.

As a general principle I don't credit that kind of statement by that kind of person. This is because every time I've looked into one of them in depth it was very misleading. That kind of rich person generally misunderstands the question and misses significant support.

Edit: For example, while he did work on a farm to pay for college that farm was owned by his Mom's cousin. Working for family is generally a significant advantage.

Edit2: Having a wealthy childhood has enduring benefits even if the money doesn't last. For example, it significantly increased his chance of having access to a computer at age 12, which probably had an enduring impact on his coding skills.

I'm not saying that means he didn't work hard and isn't smart. I am saying that it's telling he thinks that kind of thing didn't also contribute.
