Flea markets as well, at least in the US. At least as of a few years ago, the Raynham Flea Market[1] in southern Massachusetts had several vendors specializing in old gaming consoles and games. On average prices are probably a little higher, but the trade off is being able to inspect something in person rather than having to trust an eBay listing.

Firefox is still in C++ and is still subject to memory corruption vulnerabilities, proving my point again.

"almost flawless" is still in the category of 'possible'. Memory corruption is not possible in Rust by default.

Surely you understand what 'inevitable' means before giving me an example of a project that has at least one memory corruption vulnerability out of the thousands of other projects that are also in C++, especially browser-based software?
This article mostly focuses on smaller dominos. The serious domino is Genesis which is only mentioned in passing.

That's a logical race to the bottom that makes me think you have never checked out a book from a US library. If you were to calculate how much an author makes from their book being in libraries it's miniscule. For starters most library books are donated secondhand and not purchased new by libraries. Secondly, most libraries only have a single copy of a given book unless it is a major title (It's not uncommon for waitlists to be booked up for months where I live). Additionally, most titles are shared across multiple libraries in a state or city. Where I live you can return a book to any library because they just circulate copies around the state. Regardless, there are roughly 9,000 public libraries in the U.S. let's pretend that every single library purchases 1 copy of a given book new (an extremely generous estimate). Most authors are not self-published and earn 10-12% royalties, but let's pretend this author is self-published and earns around 40% from their printer before operational expenses. Let's also pretend it's an absolute banger of a book and is selling for a whopping $20/copy. That means they make $8/copy before taxes, bookstore fees, shipping, and other expenses that the self-publisher does not pay for. Let's be generous and say they somehow make $8/copy after all of that. If every library bought 1 copy (which, again. They do NOT) the author would earn $72,000. That's absolute peanuts compared to what they earn on Amazon from people who can afford firsthand books. The point of libraries and piracy is not to stop people who CAN afford books from buying them. It's supposed to enable those who CANNOT. A more productive approach would be to publicly fund authors but according to Americans that's filthy communism.
I’ve had to use a Windows 10 machine in a new job and I am shocked how bad it is! I would have thought they would have made things better since Windows XP but it’s absolutely junk. Restarts, screen flickering, slowness, Dell crap, policy and spyware crap. Just flakiness everywhere. I don’t think anything buggy/not actually functional like this happens though, I wonder how Apple manage to produce such high quality software, the fit and finish really is worlds apart compared to Linux Desktop or Windows.

But regular expressions, one of the culprits of Perl unreadability, have not faded, and are very much alive in all languages, and usually in ways that make them even less readable than in Perl (e.g. requiring backslashes to be escaped, or without support for verbose formatting).

Sometimes we all just put up with the unreadable mess when it solves the problem at hand quickly.

> here's a thing: I can't always tell whether some adjustment is an actual need

Yes! I struggle with this a lot. Despite talking about things and me putting genuine effort into making improvements, I continually seem to make changes which miss the mark. It’s as though we speak the same language with different meanings.

> life-long habit of molding myself

Likewise, and it’s not always crystal clear to me when I’m doing it, either. It’s becoming clearer over time, but even when I know, it isn’t trivial to just stop.

Similar to you, I wasn’t diagnosed until age 35 or so, and a lot of these habits and mannerisms are very deeply baked in.

> Rule 1A

I agree completely. I won’t claim to be a bastion of self awareness, but I will say that the awareness I do have is a major source of pain and frustration at times. Similar to the author in the article, I’ve come to see the inevitability of it all and I try to be frustrated less, and more accountable and constructive instead. It can be sort of paralyzing to dwell on it.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I hope you make progress on this too. We were diagnosed late, but there’s no reason we can’t gradually shift the tides and begin making steady improvements.
That's a really good point! WSL2 is kinda Hyper-V's 'Docker moment'.
I was 3 years hardcore Scala, but recently went back to Java for a role.

I didn't really find returning to Java to be an encumbrance at all, and really enjoyed how productive Spring Boot made me. I still love Scala and if you don't fight it and use it long enough, the crazy sounding FP/category theory stuff starts to come up naturally and seem very comprehensible.

My takeaway is always avoid known bad practices, but otherwise to cut with the grain. Write Java like Java, JavaScript like JavaScript and Scala like Scala.

It goes back to opportunity though. Most people who pirate books don't have the income or ability to purchase them new. The scale is irrelevant if the per-user profit opportunity is 0. The only thing that changes is more people read and further their education.

If a programming language can be written it can be read, but readability refers to enjoyment. Everyone has a hobby, but I don't think the masses would ever find reading Brainfuck enjoyable even if they were experts who coded in it every day. Whereas there are languages that are geared towards readability, with talented developers working in those languages, when combined are able to produce something that is something you would be glad to sit down and read; up there with the best novels of our time.

I also suffer from this, using NVidia graphics cards and Ubuntu. The computer fails to start the x-server once or twice each month, because of an update. Reinstalling or updating the package "linux-headers-$(uname -r)" fixes the problem for me.

You need to use Ctrl+Shift+F2/3/4/5 and switch to another tty inorder to perform these updates, as the failed x-server start leaves you with a black screen.
The publishers originally had a great system, back before the internet was alive and kicking - they'd sell the textbook in the USA for $bigbux, and sell the exact same one in India for $cheapasfree - basic standard price segmentation, charge what the market can bear in each market.

But then the internet and cheap shipping appeared, and suddenly people in the USA realized they could get the same textbook by ordering it from someone in India, and pay $cheapasfree + $shipping.

And ever since the publishers have been trying to get back to the original promised land.
See if there's any good vintage computer shows near you. They often have people selling stuff at them.

Meta programming can make things worse. It can be useful for constructing/representing rule-like objects or functions, but when you start overloading basic syntactic elements, people will loose track. It was the staple trick for the obfuscated C contest, so much that it's been forbidden now, IIRC. It's really difficult to come up with something both terse, readable (and unambiguous).

But the situation is not that bad, is it? A few characters too many, so be it. I find reusability a much larger problem.

Honestly this is what I have loved about Kotlin. There seems like there is now just a certain amount of boilerplate in every Java file and Kotlin just chose to bake that all into the language, the other instance where we see this happening is with the Lombok library in Java. Although personally I hate annotations.
> if we don't buy their books, they won't be able to produce the next one for people to pirate.

This is a false dichotomy. Book piracy and traditional book publishing co-exist. If book publishing wants to better compete with piracy, they can innovate like other industries have. As well, your implied prediction —- that if we don’t “stop all the downloading” [0] then books will disappear —- is decidedly ahistorical. Books have existed since long before publishing houses existed, and indeed it’s easier than ever to publish a book and get money for it.

Sorry, I don't have one to hand. It's a reasonable request, though. I've gone through the data carefully in the past, and I can say the vast majority are variations on, "Knife-wielding man shot down by police after stabbing two". They don't make national news because they make perfect sense. It's just cops doing what they're supposed to be doing. The ones that do make the news are killings where there are indications of impropriety, and those make up the set of examples you carry around in your head, which is why you're suspicious.
I'm going to pretend you are serious and genuine so:

- living wages in the US are something most of the rest of world only dreams about. And most can afford to buy a book once in a while, even new (of course it depends on the book). Source: eastern Europe.

- second hand and library books have generated revenue for the author already. Going full piracy and decreasing demand for the those two hurts the author, hurts the second book stores and hurts the libraries.

I pirate books as well but at least I'm honest about the consequences of my actions.

"a republic that makes decisions that benefit or are demanded by the rich/companies that can afford lobbying" is what I think the word democracy currently hides.

US military spending is HUGE compared to other countries budgets. It is not that big compared to the US budget - in WW2 we spent about 45% of GDP on military stuff - if that was done today we'd have a budget of about ten trillion dollars.

Also much of what is classified as military spending could probably be moved to other categories - the VA, for example.
I think you need to specify what context you're talking in.

Do you see it as...
1. Criminal
2. Immoral
3. Having downsides

I think we agree it's not criminal (as scale doesn't apply to a binary criminality judgement stealing a penny is as criminal as stealing a pound though punishment will vary).

Are you suggesting it's immoral? Because I can't see where you make such an argument.

Or are you saying well it has downsides as authors may earn less? It's likely book purchases are affected by libraries. I don't think the effect is as profound as people think.

Without that context it's quite hard to discuss this topic.
Multi-dimensional arrays provide all sorts of data structures, but modern APLs have also have namespaces/dictionaries, classes with inheritance, etc. Oh, and APL has had exception/error handling since the ’60s, with today’s APLs having rather flexible systems for this.
This affects the way you write code, too.

I was writing something in Rust and I wanted to create a new boxed object.

Box::new(...)

Boom! Program crashes. The object I’m putting in the heap is too large for the stack. Rustc does this by instantiating the object on the stack, and then copying it to the box. I don’t really want to fuss with nightly or stuff like Box::new_uninit just to deal with this. C++ has both regular `new` and placement `new`, both of which put objects in memory which is already allocated. I had assumed that the Rust compiler could optimize out a move, since that’s such a prominent feature in C++ compilers.
Maybe the blockchain can fix that?

If yes, I would argue that there's value exchange.
That was my point as well - its not what you learn in college, its that you can learn something. I am not a proponent of Leetcode (and suck at it personally), but I think the same concept applies - just shows you can learn an arbitrary puzzle framework tangentially related to the job you are interviewing for.

Its also my experience that as you get more senior and focused on a specific skill (I'm an iOS engineer), interviews tend to focus on that skill more than leetcode. I think there are a few stalwart holdouts (facebook + google), but I have interviewed with several trendy big tech companies and none of them asked me pure leetcode - it was always framed around my iOS skillset.

However, for a junior engineer there is no way to evaluate this kind of skillset since it doesn't exist - so Leetcode is a resonable substitute.

In a connected world with social media amplifying peoples opinions, there will be a reaction when powerful people break a taboo. Why is that a problem?
