I'm curious about that too.

From my superficial knowledge of compilers, "modularization" itself should not make code faster, if anything slower. There'll always be some overhead of loading modules and communicating between them, not?

I presume, from my own experience when building software (not compilers), that modules allow for a much easier to reason about, much better isolated (cohesion, loose coupling). And therefore for much easier improvements inside the module. I would presume that, here too, modules allowed them to improve the inner workings much better, allowing for the performance increase. Or am I completely misunderstanding this feature?
They're better at making profit, that doesn't make them more efficient at building cars. Tesla sells a product which is differentiated based on software and brand, leading to huge margins. Tesla also uses more labor to make it's cars than traditional car companies, despite the fact that their cars are more mechanically simple. There's building a profitable company (Tesla has done this) and then there's doing good manufacturing engineering (Tesla is still working on this).
And the homeless population of Berlin is able to afford basics by helping sort the recycling - it's a very nice regenerative system compared to most places.
What helped my anxiety immeasurably was marijuana, but too inconsistent. Citalopram really helped get my anxiety under control, but medication isn’t for everyone. Adderall made it much worse. In fact, in my humble opinion, Adderall is one of the worst drugs. It’s a false prophet.

The dam breaking on my recovery from severe anxiety really began with depression.

I underwent ketamine nasal spray therapy and it completely removed my depression, and that allowed me to focus 100% on my anxiety.

Things are much better today

Fellow teetotal Canadian here. Glad to know that I'm not the only outsider.

My (admittedly) limited experience with Cargo had me beeing forced to write a build.rs file, which, while neat for edge/complex cases, seems a little overkill for basic stuff like linking to a simple C library.

I'm also not fond of making the package manager also kinda the build system, but that's just my preference to keep it flexible.

If it's not DoD then it's military stuff from allies or Turkey, if it's not that then it's Starlink.

In any event the point still stands. This company only exists in the financial press and the tech press. Regular people aren't using SpaceX nor they ever will considering how the world is increasingly urbanised so sat-tv and sat-internet are dead on arrival matched against fiber and 5G. The only exception is maybe the yacht crowd but they aren't regular people.

Hi, the author of the blog post here. I wanted to point out two neat features of the Enclaver: (1) it solves the enclave image distribution problem by packaging the underlying enclave image into a Docker container so it can be pushed to any container registry and (2) it bundles in a policy enforced network proxy to make regular TCP based networking work out of the box.
Why the upcoming Godot Foundation can't offer Console ports
> No, that's a purely functional algorithm. Note how he's just adding numbers to the end of a list and emphatically not mutating the existing items in any way.

They are clearly mutating the piece of paper to add new numbers to it. There is no linked list in sight. They are also flipping the pages of the book in order, another imperative paradigm.

The closest you could come to a pure FP algorithm expressed in physical terms would have been "Say there are still pages I haven't looked at, and say I have a stack of post-it notes on the current page; then, I would check if the word cheese appears on this page, and if it does, I would produce a post-it note with the page number on it, adding it over the stack of post-it notes; I would then flip one page; on the other hand, if I am looking at the last page of the book, I would add another post-it note to the stack if needed, and return the whole stack of post-it notes to you otherwise".

Imperative:

foreach page in book
if 'cheese' in page
write(paper, page.number)

Functional:

search page:rest_of_book post-it-stack =
search rest_of_book
(if ('cheese' `on page)
then number(page):post-it-stack
else post-it-stack)
search [] post-it-stack = post-it-stack

Of course, we could write this easier with a map and filter, but I don't think there is any good way to express those in physical terms (not with a book - filters have nice physical interpretations in other domains though).

Later edit:

A version of the imperative algorithm closer to what was described in prose:

repeat:
word = read_word(book)
if word == 'cheese':
write(paper, current_page_number(book))
if no_more_words(book):
return paper
Why would you dismiss my comment on my presumed experience? Seems a bit arrogant. Did I say all backend problems are easier or that all C++ problems are harder? No, I merely stated why work on hard C++ problems for less pay when one can work on easier backend problems for more pay.
I love mate, but just one extra toilet trip is a substantial underestimate for many..
It is definitely a recommendation, but UIDVALIDITY just checks the folder from what I understand. Hashing the entire message would be the best way from my understanding to sync messages.
Thanks for the explanation. I had some assumptions but wasn’t totally sure how this was trained.

How would you make it sniffle in a natural way, too? It’s not a usual speech mannerism, and the way he does it is distinct. I wouldn’t know how to efficiently represent it with text. Maybe it’s easier than I’m imagining.

That does not answers the question.
In the past few years I’ve discussed salaries with dozens of companies as a staff level IC. C++ companies pay significantly less even if the work is far more specialized and challenging. The real money is in “Cloud + python/golang”.
Just train another AI model to do it then! I'm not joking -- Stable Diffusion generates some pretty grotesque and low quality faces, but there are add-on models that can identify and greatly improve the faces as part of the processing pipeline.

Doesn't seem like a stretch to have similar mini-models to improve known deficiencies in larger general models in the textual space.
Alternatives are always good, as is competition. Go applies competitive pressure to others, just as they do to Go.

I really enjoy using Go as my main server backend programming language. It's verbose, but simple, and that simplicity makes it easy to maintain. The CSP model of concurrency/parallelism works really well at making multi-threaded applications.

In Go, I can pull from a work queue, fan out for parallel processing via multiple threads, fan into a smaller pool for some post-processing, really easily. In the HTTP engine, I can service each request with its own goroutine, which lets me write simple, synchronous, linear code, versus using promises or futures or callbacks in other languages, breaking up the flow.

To me, subjectively, it's the best backend language when I'm writing something from scratch and don't need to tie into a pre-existing ecosystem. Go exists because there are lots of people like me.
Yes, the Fed that stopped the much longer, more frequent, and deeper panics and recessions that occurred before it.

In fact, it did so well for so long compared to previous methods, that the Great Moderation is a term in economics for the stability it gave.

Instead of snarkily listing places you think it failed, compare that to pre-Fed failures, and you'll see that the Fed is a lot better than other solutions.

And there's ample economic evidence central banking is much better than anything before it, which is why every single country in the world has adopted it.

I wonder the extent to which that's the case (or maybe better said "that depends on what 'pretty decent financially' means").

Both sets of grandparents were blue collar (steel milling/odd-jobs and coal mining/nursing). My parents were the first generation to attend college at all and both became public school teachers. Both sets of grandparents had a sizable (very large for a hobby) home garden to supplement the family food and made use of it. I remember eating "government cheese" (literal cheese from the government) at times. They were not substantially better or worse off than the other working-class families we saw around us and hung out with.

Their pensions did ensure that they were able to not be in danger of starving in retirement, but they weren't traveling anywhere by airplane (I think maybe ever for one set and exactly once for the other) and, at the end, their estate was settled for an amount of money that one person could easily carry.

Is that "pretty decent financially"? I genuinely don't know; it was surviving.
Yes, because nobody was trying to manipulate us through them. It was just a communication service enabling diverse people to talk to each other.

It was also, well, optional. None of that algoboosted dopamine-head datamining freakshow that's leaking into the world in a way that the AI alarmists seem to be ignoring entirely.
Ah, I mixed up quarterly and yearly vehicles numbers. So Tesla is only about half as efficient in terms of people/vehicle/year as Honda.
RESP.app to Merge with RedisInsight
I suspect you have a point, given this line from the Sucrase readme:

> Because of this smaller scope, Sucrase can get away with an architecture that is much more performant but less extensible and maintainable. Sucrase's parser is forked from Babel's parser (so Sucrase is indebted to Babel and wouldn't be possible without it) and trims it down to a focused subset of what Babel solves. If it fits your use case, hopefully Sucrase can speed up your development experience!
> a change in the indentation used in our bundle files (4 spaces -> 2 spaces)

I find it interesting that one of the reasons given for the reduction in package size is due to such a simple indentation change from 4 spaces to 2 spaces.

Not interesting that 2 bytes are less than 4 bytes, rather, TypeScript is a large project and it would be interesting to know how much size was saved from this one specific change? Seems like a trivial change, so why not do it sooner? And assuming readability isn't required in the bundle output why not bundle with no indentation at all and put everything on a single line, would this not be even smaller again?
One thing not taken into account on this rant (and it is just a big rant) is the incredible increase in scale. Nearly everyone has a phone and can make phone calls now and we're almost 8 billion people. The old, understandable, analog system would have never scaled like this. Quality didn't degrade because of greed or degeneracy. It was a trade-off and I say the level of access we have now trumps whatever nostalgia people feel for the past decades.
>No downsides expect the environmental impact of resource extraction and refinement.

Sure, but those are relatively solvable problems (they extract oil right in the middle of America's second largest city and almost no one notices)

>A 500ml glass bottle weighs approximately 250g, which is inefficient in terms of weight contained. But it's pretty insignificant compared to the weight of the passenger and their luggage. There are also reusable plastic bottles.

Jet fuel burnt is an incremental problem (just like radiation exposure). Even if it's a tiny amount on the margin, it's still more than we otherwise have to and keep in mind, a large US airport like SFO (which does not sell any plastic bottles of any kind) will do 250k+ aircraft movements per year, so an incremental half gallon of fuel burnt per flight is still like 2.5mn tons of CO2 unnecessarily put into the atmospheric carbon well (not counting the trucks that got the heavier bottles to the airport).

>I'm not entirely convinced the plastic is inert enough to bury it in a shallow hole, but that's something that could be established if it isn't already. Burning it for power and heat also seems fine to me as long as we're still burning orders of magnitude more oil, gas and coal.

Well first and foremost, please do not support burning anything other than as a last resort. We are in a climate crisis and we need to keep as much carbon out of our atmospheric well as possible. Again, it's an incremental problem.

And sure, burying it is not perfect (most human actions have some amount of environmental consequence if you look closely enough), but recycling it literally doesn't work, so the only other option is the Ocean (which is weirdly what we've chosen.
Carl Jung, the first person to create a personality typology and to popularize(create?) the introvert/extrovert dichotomy, insisted that engaging your "opposite" type is important for personal growth. "Live what you have not yet lived."

That said, he also believed that people do have relatively fixed personality types on a fundamental level - you have both traits(introversion and extraversion) but are inclined to express one more than the other. I don't know if he thought it was impossible to drastically change from one end of the spectrum to the other on a fundamental level, but I know he spoke of cases where peoples superior trait was suppressed(e.g an extrovert might suppress their extroversion if they had bad/traumatic experiences interacting with the outer world) - in those case someone can appear to be an introvert and then reclaim their natural extroversion later in life after dealing with the underlying complex related to their suppression.

That's just based on his model of the psyche though - maybe he's wrong and there is no real difference fundamentally, and intro/extrovert is simply a matter of what you express throughout your life without some deeper aspect of the personality guiding it, but his explanation makes more sense to me

Man i miss the days when i got to work like this. As a leader i can't really do this type of stuff cause i don't want to pressure people. But the only thing more meaningful than working hard on what matters to you is family.
My baby boomer uncle likes to brag that he bought a house at 19 after two years of delivering firewood in trunk of his car. He thinks kids today would get similar results with similar effort; it's very tedious.
If you think of typescript as "tooling" that makes sense.

But if you think of it as compiler, or transpiler, not so much. Python, Ruby etc "compilers" (runtimes, really) aren't written in Python or Ruby. Or rather, there are alternatives around, but they aren't the fastest nor the best. Such "tools" are built in C. As are compilers for C++, Rust or most languages really.
Court overturns state ruling on San Francisco’s infamous 469 Stevenson project
> those who paid their debts for college or those that didn't even go to college, are paying for other's mistakes

that's how society works though. I didn't have kids and my taxes still go to help support childhood nutrition and education programs, etc. I don't get a choice about funding the military, etc. Societally these are things that we have determined are important and deserve funding.

Everyone benefits from having a highly educated populace, not least because of the prolific lack of critical thinking the public displays in the political sphere. Want less "jewish space lasers" nonsense? Build a society with a good tertiary education pipeline that doesn't leave people horribly in debt, and increase the amount of the populace that has access. In many ways we are suffering the pain of that 80s/90s/00s neoliberal consensus on reduced education funding and privatization right now, this is what you get with 30 years of public secondary education being terrible and tertiary education being too expensive for a large portion of the population to access.

But people really just think about me, me, me. MY taxes. And this is the society you get with that.
Can you show some data to back that up? Post 9/11 US wars have displaced more than 38 million people and directly caused more than 900,000 deaths. China and Russia both have terrible records when it comes to human rights, but where are you getting the numbers that they have caused more deaths?
Most American voting machines print a ballot an let the voter review it, but not all. There have been some jurisdictions that have given up on that for reasons that seem bad and vague to me.

I think mandating that voting machines be open source is a good idea to me. Here in the US we have 3rd party auditing companies. Various US State and the Federal Government all have different testing/auditing labs that they have certified they trust. Then each voting machine company has to convince them that it is good to sell to the governments that trust them. The final build that the lab signs off on gets a cryptographic signature and the poll workers are supposed to check that it matches what they are given to run on their machines just before the setup their machines for voting.

Do Brazil have anything similar with auditors or inspectors? Or at least some crypto connecting the vendor to the polling locations?
Java is special since it has mandatory version pinning of all dependencies, doesn't run code at install time and uses a full url for dependency names. That means dependencies don't auto-update, don't compromise CI/CD as easily and don't get misspelled as easily (ie: people copy paste the whole name+version versus writing it from memory).

Many languages since then decided that causes too much overhead.
You have to quit or be fired. Right now.

I was in your situation year ago, three years of agony at a mediocre toxic corporate company where our team was responsible for all the problems but were given no time or resources at all to actually fix the root cause. Only firefighting was allowed.

I was on medical leave, went back, and eventually was offered to quit without serving my notice period (so 4 months paid without working).

It’s been a year since and I didn’t touch a computer for 10 months. I was feeling like shit and really needed the time to recover. I’m still not recovered but much better. I’ve been seeing a therapist to deal with the aftermath for 18 months. It helped. Magic mushrooms and weed also help me putting things in perspective and understanding that it was a failure of that company, not of me.

Burn-out especially when ignored for so long is no joke. I know it feels silly/cowardly/scary to be unemployed, but you really have to get out. Sick leave while still employed at the company doesn’t let you free yourself from all the pain because you’ll have to go back eventually.

I’m lucky that where I live you get employment insurance even if you quit. But if that’s not an option in your country then let them fire you. They created the problem so fuck them. It’s not like you were going to get a good reference from that place anyway.

I would also recommend reading the post on common cog about burnout. It’s well written and instructive.

Bottom line is the longer you stay the worst it’ll get. Only time can heal you (several months, like 12–24) but you’ll get better. It’s just a matter of leaving that toxic place and waiting.

Good luck. It should be criminal to put people in these situations rather than just “cost of doing business” for employers.
People were talking about "the world's problems" in the 60s too. Fortunately we still went to the moon and inspired generations of people to quite literally reach for the stars. The idea that we could simply reallocate the relatively small number of resources currently used for spaceflight, and that would make some meaningful impact in the world's problems is silly. There will always be new problems on Earth to solve.
In the last decade, King has published 16 novels & 2 short story collections, has had over a dozen of his works adapted for film and nearly as many again for television. More adaptions are planned for release this year and next. He is as relevant and influential today as he ever has been.
I'm not saying Tesla isn't doing any good work. I'm just saying that it's untrue to say that they're somehow unequivocally better at manufacturing then other car companies. They simply are not - they're improving rapidly but they are far from the industry leader.
This opens up the door to going in there and replacing the slow parts with Rust.

There is a lot of interest in making typescript fast but all of them want to do a rewrite. Swapping the slow parts seems a lot more viable
Yes, that's exactly what I meant: I use the same Yubikeys for authentication, but fail back to TOTP when sites don't support something secure.
You're using bad analogy to promote a bullshit idea of speech control for the sake of the "common good". The problem with your idea is that unlike environmental pollution in which real, physical spaces are damaged or destroyed by measurable physical contaminants, intellectual "pollution" is extremely subjective.

It's subject to the biases of those who decide what is and isn't disinformation and its subject to changes in these biases over time. The damage it does is also hard to measure, especially when weighed against the damage caused by giving anyone or group of people the authority to decide what others can say and believe. It's easy to apply such ideas to obviously stupid conspiracy theories and fringe claims, but it's also very easy to start spreading the scope of what gets claimed as disinformation over time.

We could look at the entire pandemic as just one very evident example of these tendencies happening. We can also look at a number of authoritarian countries that have taken advantage of the western media obsession with "misinformation/disinformation" of the last few years and used it as a cover for passing their own clearly authoritarian speech-repressing laws in the name of "fighting misinformation". Freer countries are also never immune to going down the same road, their governments DO NOT need more tools for making it easier.

Truly bad information and grossly ignorant opinions are not only not anything new in all of human history, they are if anything today less extreme and less common than they've ever been. The proliferation of better thinking has moved best in exactly those countries where free speech has been best protected. It's in places where it has been repressed that the opposite tends to happen more easily.

It's sad to me that educated, intelligent people can use sophistry to try building moats around their personal biases in defense of speech controls and then claim that they're working towards the protection of people's minds, or any sort of common good. History has shown that such attempts at controlling speech almost invariably produce the opposite and that giving power over speech to any authority does so especially. Grotesque.
