> In the US a marriage is not a contract.

See, that's what I mean by entitlement and arrogance, pretending that your laws are anything special, you didn't get married in the US. There's other laws here.

There's pros and cons to that, among the pros is that stuff like divorce, alimoney, etc are straightforward and depend on the contract you signed when you get married. In your country, that's expensive lawyers matter.

> Permesso di Soggiorno

Absolutely false, immigration is handled by the interior ministry through the police, you request it at the immigration office of the Questura (police preccint) that is closer to wherever you are.

Italian beaurocracy is definitely not the leanest on the planet, but really, it depends on what you need to do and who you are, opening a business here is extremely easy and fast, getting most documents is done *only* online and you rarely if ever need to really go to an office. Even if you lose your documents you don't even need to denounce it to the police anymore, it's all online.

You need to understand that in Italy you're an alien, you're not from a country in the European Union, your legal status is not different than someone coming from Pakistan.

You're not registered here, there's no records of your civil life, your schooling, your medical records, your previous legal statuses, your criminal record, your tax records, your act of birth, etc, etc, you obviously have to provide them yourself, and since they have not been produced in the European Union they need to be validated.

Obviously many local councils lag in progress compared to national or regional legislation and their services likely lag compared to national or regional ones, I would not be surprised if there were hiccups, but all I read in your post is ignorance about the law, ignorance about what you were even doing and what and complains.

You can say and think what you want but at the end of the day I'm Italian and I know how many times me or my family have to go through offices and lengthy beaurocratic processes and it is extremely rare that you ever need to go in person to an office for anything but your id, driving license and passport.

Pretty much all of the rest can be done online and Italian beaurocracy has gone through massive amounts of modernization.
If you think the stock will go up from $100 to $200, don't sell covered call. Nobody forces you to. But if you have sold it, it means you didn't believe stock would go that much up.

If one sells a covered call but is not ready to sell the stock at that price, that's one's problem, not "covered call is a bad strategy" problem.

Yep, pretty much hits the nail on the head. It’s not so much about empathy vs. feigning it for internet points. I can empathize with the situation in OP, but not in an outsized proportion to what’s occurred in society in the past few years. The same folks repping “empathy” were laughing to the bank when humans were locked in cages for getting around the vaccine mandate in their own way.

There’s people who were forced to sell their homes, lost their jobs, and can’t move back to the place they grew up right here on American soil - in layman’s terms, I’m out of f’s to give.

That would be a sound reason for the things that were patented, but even the non-patented stuff didn't enjoy compatibility.

w.r.t. patents, the only thing I've heard of having been patented is SEH (by Borland, presumably after seeing GCC wasn't implementing the then-patent-less SEH), and even that I'm not sure about the relevance of. (I saw it in the context of WINE, which has to implement the OS-side of it, not the compiler side.)

The reason to prefer grain would also be a good question. The recent return to analog photos we are observing recently might be caused by a shared preference for grain and other aspects of the film process. I was going to suggest this preference would likely be correlated to age, but most film enthusiast blogs/instagram I've seen are from people in their 20s.

So my current theory is that photo/cinema enthusiasts are overly exposed to this visual look, since they get inspired by masters of the past, and the sample of acclaimed photo/cinema artists have to be still larger on the film media. And, direction, post production and stakeholders in Hollywood would also have this bias and welcome like to continue producing material with this looks.

Just for fun, I tried the static variable approach for myself. I have to agree with you, it's really hard. I gave up after half an hour. Rust doesn't seem to like casting references to pointers, which I understand, as I don't think there's a guarantee that they are just pointers. A &T[], for example, is a fat pointer (two words, also encodes the count). I think the correct approach here is either accept runtime overhead, or pass a context to each function as a parameter.

I also agree with your other statement. I think Rust tries to abstract a lot of behind into its own type system, such as Box<T> for pointers, whilst keeping it relatively fast. C is definitely the right tool for the job if you want direct memory access, I also think this is a relatively small proportion of people, working on OS, embedded systems or mission critical systems such as flight control/medical equipment.

I specifically went to a European language focused school where learning a lot of languages was a thing people did (it was also classified as such as by the government). Six languages was the most anyone ever spoke, and that was a dude who spoke English, German and Chinese natively (lucky bastard). Even people who were good with languages did not go above 4 usually.

IMO you're misrepresenting to a huge degree the actual part of the population that is able to learn this many languages. Most young people in Europe can speak a native language and a second language, with a bit of a 3rd language thrown in. And that's only counting the richer part, many do not learn past a 2nd language if that.

BTW I count speak fluently == could have a dialogue with a native person about a random topic and be understood. Being able to ask for directions or talk about the food is not fluency, I can do that without language at all.

My company’s been through multiple rounds of large layoffs. This was standard SOP.

People on immigration visas were not given traditional severances. They were simply kept on the books for that period of time without having any access to any resources and/or being expected to do any work.

I’m not entirely sure what happened if they started a job before the period ended. Whether they got the rest of the money as severance or forfeited it but I doubt they really cared.

Gold has kept its value for thousands of years because it's not net-negative. People happily buy gold and "lose" money on the deal, because they value the gold more than the money.

So investors can gain money, buyers can gain gold, and everyone can come out ahead.

Unlike crypto, where one investor's gains come at the expense of another investor who loses, because few people buy crypto for its own sake.
Even if you don't know it's a fraud, you can wind up losing the profit. This famously happened in the Madoff ponzi:

Your point being? Are you suggesting that horrible animal welfare is bad, and that it adds to the negative feelings that you already have because of inflation?

Not GTK+, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Qt gets much closer, though in both cases you can tell something feels off.

I know various companies have been looking into sponsoring his work for iOS, since it can make a big difference in the edit/build/run cycle since linking times can be fairly high. I was even personally supporting it for those reasons for a number of months.

From what I understand, it is part way there to fully supporting what is needed on macOS/iOS, but then it is hard to throw money at it when it isn’t a replacement yet, especially since sponsorship isn’t guaranteeing work goes into your needs.

So sort of a chicken and egg situation. Recently it seems work has been focused on some mainframe architectures, and I wasn’t actually using it at all, so I stopped sponsoring.

All this to say is that it isn’t specific to mold, but open source projects in general. If the source is available and it works, there is no incentive to sponsor, and if it doesn’t yet do what you want, there isn’t a guarantee that your sponsorship will move the needle.

In 1952, there were so many carveouts and exemptions that few individuals payed the actual 92%. With fastidious accounting, one's personal tax liability could be zero even if one qualified for the highest income bracket. This was the case until 1970 following Congress's invention and institution of the Alternative Minimum Tax. And while 1981 wasn't the most friendly year for low income taxes, increased globalization meant easier opportunities to set up overseas tax structures for the purpose of reducing one's overall tax burden (what's commonly referred to as tax "avoidance"). To make the claim of highest or lowest tax year for the highest income bracket between 1913 and today is impossible to make without accounting for reductions available in the given year.

In the case of game engines, productivity is less important than performance. Most games use some scripting language on top of C++.

Congrats on the launch! The app builder looks amazing and seems indeed very inspired by Retool.

We are building a tool in the same space with Windmill, also open-source [1]. The goal is not to hijack this thread since I do not believe we are that competitive.

We focus on workflows and more backendy/complex logic by converting automatically Python, Typescript, Go, Bash into endpoints and workflow modules that you can run at scale on workers that are deployable on one's own infra. We are currently also finishing an UI builder [2] but because it is not our prime focus, it will always be a much simpler alternative to what you and Retool are building. Hence, I see a lot of potential for integrations/collaboration for users with need of UIs similar to retool while needing more complex logic than REST or raw database queries.

In any case, congrats, I have played with the tool and you guys did an amazing job.

I'm a doctoral student working in the direction of PDE's and function spaces. I have some colleagues that are using wavelets for numerics. They typically prove that certain wavelet bases are better suited for numerical approximation of certain types of problems. You can for instance think about if you have a signal mainly composed of square waves. Then it would be rather inefficient to decompose this signal in sines and cosines. For certain types of PDE's under certain type of geometrical restrictions, sometimes you can find a much better wavelet bases than just sines and cosines. My research is rather theoretical (so I don't do any numerics), so wavelets don't play a role for me.
maybe calling a void function with no arguments did not change, but other things changed in various ways making it not stable.

What would be the point for the GCC team to even try to be compatible with a changing and non-documented ABI?

It wouldn't buy anything to just support how to mangle basic function, as they couldn't still be called. You either had to be fully compatible, or aren't.

And an ABI can be fairly complicated to implement. For example, in what register do we pass a class passed by value? It can change depending on whether some of its members are float, int or double, or whether it has copy constructor. You get anything wrong and the user suddenly get weird crashes that are going to be extremely hard to debug.

So, I have some inside knowledge on this one.

There were many people who were axed as part of the layoffs days after start.

But these layoffs were planned for months.

The thinking was either 1) we can rescind job offers and give them nothing or 2) at least give a severance package to people who expected employment.

Now, I'm not excusing that there are cases like this that fall through the cracks. It really really sucks.

I'm not sure how to process it... when you're laying off 10k+ people there are bound to be "bugs"/misses and general failures.

Should META have preemptively rescinded this employee's offer so they got nothing but at least didn't move? Maybe. Or give months of pay as an "I'm sorry our timing was awful (like they did)" in exchange for their own failure? Also a bad option given the move.

I feel for this person. They got caught in get crossfire and that really blows. I'd be pretty pissed.

In the other hand, the thought behind what happened was admirable - even though it created some awful edge cases.

META has done a lot to draw ire. In this case I was impressed by management's decision not to rescind offers and save maximum money but to acknowledge that people would have quit jobs, moved, etc and give severances.

A counterpoint could be "why give the job offer in the first place"? Given the level of secrecy and reality of a nearly 90k person company - it's highly doubtful that the people involved in the hiring process had any idea of the impending layoffs.

Still - super super crappy for anyone who relocated due to the offer.
To clarify: by prosumer I mean products that are more advanced than what's sold on the mass market. Imagine if you're a cyclicst - a normal bicycle might cost you $1-3k, a "pro" one with advanced features can easily set you back $10-15k+.
