From what I can tell, lots of people have different preferences.

Some might rather enjoy a smarter autocomplete, much like IntelliSense and products like it made the older IDEs feel like text editors.

Plugins like TabNine/Codota went a step further and attempted to make the suggestions even more relevant and context sensitive.

As long as this "AI" doesn't just randomly execute commands, but rather suggests you what options are popular (locally or online, saving you opening StackOverflow, for example) or what might be relevant from the documentation and examples (so you don't have to do too much manpage scrolling), I fail to see the harm.
> There are no traffic jams

In the US, most tracks prioritize freight traffic over passenger rail. And there is a tremendous amount of freight traffic. There may not often be traffic jams, but when you are diverted to side track to wait and allow a priority freight train through, it's not uncommon to wait a very long time (I've been delayed more than an hour on the 3 hour train ride from Portland to Seattle).

There are also huge bottlenecks in US track infrastructure that absolutely do lead to traffic jams - perhaps most infamously in New York City. Vetoing the addition of 6 additional tracks through NYC is one of the reason Chris Christie was so hated.

I learned about the Kalevala through MST3K, of all things.

They did commentary on "The Day the Earth Froze", which is an edited version of the Soviet-Finnish film "Sampo" loosely based on the Kalevala.

See it yourself, at https://youtu.be/yRhXcxx1SwM?t=958 .
Ah, the lava and volcanism caused extinction were out in full force back then. The idea, that a large scale, energy intensive asteroid impact into a liquid body, may enhance vulcanism on the oppossing side of the earth, by virtue of a lava-shockwave tsunami from below was what came of it?

Imagine a spherical carrying medium, through which a circular shockwave races. At the other end, were it will crash into itself, it will create a overpressure spike, which directs force inwards and outwards. This spike would have come out were today the philipines and south east asia reside.

Back then there was mostly ocean.

So why was volcanism so off ?

The continued volcanism did prolong the hellscape making it the extinction event it was.

I wouldn't consider it dead yet, but I do consider it a failed platform. (I've been intending to write a blog post on this.)

Alexa/Amazon is still going, but there are rumors that layoffs will disproportionately impact this division, Google has shut down their APIs unless you're wanting to integrate with an Android app, and Apple has never really opened up Siri.

As for why—it's so hard to build a business on the platforms. They are geared toward "get in and get out" interactions and for things like ordering a pizza, you've already got your phone on you. I still think voice has life, and I love using my devices, but it didn't take off how I thought it might.
Perl is a wonderful, innovative language which failed because it tried to remove intratextual redundancy in the way you are suggesting.

A string of length N is vastly more likely to be a valid Perl program than a valid Python program. Ultimately this meant that Perl programs, while easier to type, were much harder to read, and extremely easy to misinterpret.
Yeah. The test is harsh, but you get really good drivers out of it. Driving in the US isn't bad, but it's noticeably worse than in Germany.

If you want to have fun, compare how many bullets are fired by cops in Germany to how many people are killed by cops in the US. Those numbers have no business being this close to each other.
You just wouldn't use a union if you wanted monomorphization and didn't want e.g. a heterogeneous collection. Even when it is possible, "monomorphize everything" isn't always faster though, because for example ITLBs are not infinitely large.

I had a theory... could it be that if he forces enough people out, the company goes under and any debts the company holds are specific to Twitter... he is off the hook and could only lose a couple of billion, but not be on the hook for the full 44. I heard there were links between the debt and Tesla stock, but if the company goes under for a reason of "all employees left", could that be "not his fault"?

Another option is that the previous stuff he worked on (Tesla, SpaceX, Paypal?) were game changers and had people wanting to work for them, and he thinks that Twitter is the same... But, my guess is it is not... people worked for twitter cause it was a good gig and paid well, but was not a game changer. If the culture changes overnight and now you have to work 20-50% more time with the same or less money and now less resources in house, screw that...

The "be successful without becoming normal" idea possessed me for many years, and for me it was a trap because a significant portion of my abnormalities were genuinely pathological, and I thought they were me instead of just bad and unhealthy habits.

I thought I had to be genuinely inspired to get work done, and chased that fleeting motivation like a mirage for years instead of just learning how to sit down and work.

I thought my sleep was just "different" and my physical and mental health (not to mention productivity) suffered horribly and pointlessly for years until I put my foot down and... just fixed it.

Since fixing my sleep, for example, my productivity went from about 2 hours a day (of solid, focused work) to over 10 hours a day. In the span of ten days. That's not a bad exchange rate for a bit of normalcy, is it?
I'd think it would be fairly easy considering it transpiles the entire binary in a single shot. I don't see a lot of cases where you'd branch to read either of these flags.

You are right. I thought the word "union" is more general than it is.

The onewheel is an inherently bad, unsafe design. The long board that a rider stands on is ever liable to stick into the ground and throw a rider. Compared even to a monowheel (not the safest mode of transportation in itself), it is downright scary.

Generally, rider of a unicycle or similar self-balancing device puts his life and limb in the hands of an unknown microcontroller programmer. The software on those things should be regulated as strictly as the airplane autopilots.
Doesn't that lead to vastly unfair sentencing? For example you could target a specific group with harsher sentences, or use minor crimes to stick people with the maximum sentence. Everyone is guilty of something.
Why isn’t the compiler just doing inline whenever possible? Why is it a user-facing feature of the language, it looks like it should be a compiler optimization to me.

> but isn't it essentially just shorthand for self.x

At least in the `else` prong of the switch, if you want to do anything with the value you have to capture it, because `self` will be the union type, not the particular type within the union.

I've previously asked about whether this could be done away with, like if you write `if (x != null)`, could that create a scope in which x refers to the non-null value in rvalue-ish contexts but to the nullable value if you want to set it to null? Some compilers like Sorbet do this and call the feature "type narrowing." It seems like it is a bit too magical to make it into Zig though.
Could it have been a test case "to see if we can" do these kinds of things. And then it got left in with the more important stuff

I am not sure the "Geeks, MOPs, and Sociopaths" model applies here since the most significant actors in this development came from the geek phase. SBF started out earning to give and was even featured on the homepage of 80.000 hours in 2015! [1] This probably had some part in the glowing coverage he received; for example the interview with 80.000 hours founder Will McAskill [2] makes more sense when you realize that they had known each other for nine years at that point. This suggests that the FTX fraud is not a story about new people that joined EA late but goes back to the roots of the movement.

Well depends how "old" is old for you - my last diesel was a 2016 1.6dCi Nissan Qashqai and that car was hopeless in winter - it would honestly take the better part of 30 minutes for hot air to come out if you were just sitting there idling.

That sounds like whatever car you have has an additional electric coolant heater, if the warm air comes out "in seconds". I think some Mercedes cars have that? It's definitely not a standard everywhere.

The tooling wasn't free because it costs money to develop - that is sensible. But it didn't limit what you could do with the stuff that you made with said tooling. You didn't have to pay all OS vendors for the privilege of them allowing your code onto user's devices. I think that's really what OP refers to, not the cost of tooling.

And, yes, most computers from at least 1980s onwards came with something. DOS had BASICA first, then GW-BASIC, then QBasic - and these all were quite adequate for plenty of tasks, even games. By the 90s, we even had free 32-bit C++ compilers (DJGPP 1.03, 1991).

I love people who portray his willingness to engage with regulators as a form of selling out, as opposed to what it was, knowing that regulation was coming, so engaging to try to influence it to his advantage.

Which is what every other industry does when the regulatory hammer comes down.

But so many crypto believers seem to think that crypto is different to all that's come before it, it's really not. It's very sadly humorous how crypto has speedrun the entire history of why financial institutions are regulated.
> It failed because it turned the app into bloat and killed multi-device syncing.

I disagree.

I have came back to paid plan last year and Evernote works really well on Mac (except slow startup, but that has also improved over last year), quite well on ChromeOS (in browser)... Evernote web capture extension is superior to everything else I have tried especially behind paywalls.

Evernote works so well, and it is quite polished and stable. So much that it had became base for my daily workflow which is mostly journaling with lots of attachments..
The web platform was mostly piecemeal and happenstance. Not careful, coordinated design.

You'll find that it is unnecessarily and necessarily complex unless you adopt a framework that makes design decisions for you.
That’s interesting. I’ve spent years snowboarding, used to skate as a kid, little bit of surfing, and they all have transferable skills. The thing that I found so different about the OW is the LACK of rear foot push since you only have a single contact point with the ground. Like other person said, I move hips to control speed, squat to turn heel-side, but I don’t feel like the foot control is anything like board sports that have more contact with ground/snow/water. Maybe I do it subconsciously with super tight turns for trails but not with flow and carving.

Fair comment. If these flags are hardly used then I guess it is a bit surprising that this is necessary.
So to summarize:

- It's a slipping hazard until you remove it.

- It gets heavy very quickly, making it hard to remove.

- Placing it on snow (i.e. too late) can cause it to freeze stuck.

In other words you need to anticipate the snow before it starts, you need to repeatedly empty and quickly replace it and it makes the ground dangerous to walk on for anyone during the entire time.

Yeah, this is definitely a clever hack and not a useful technique.
There is definite survivorship bias; I suspect it's so strong that virtually all "do-gooding" you see on social media is for gaining status. It makes me extremely cynical of charities; perhaps just trying to do good "in the small" for the people around you is the best that one can do.
No mention of biological control and using insects as robots here? That's fine.
The programmer might know more than the compiler about which things should be expanded at compile time and which things should not. Zig is intended to be able to be used to generate optimal code.

ah, true, I was misremembering how it did work, I though there was some guidance done by the shooter after the missile had been fired.
I think the problem is that by removing the human element from "good doing", you end up also removing the personal selfish reason for "good doing", and that is then a very cynical worldview to have, that rightfully arouses suspicion.

Then one starts questioning, what is the real motivation behind the deed?

The other problem is that treating people like statistics is ugly, even if you are doing it for a good cause.
That's really cool, great work!

> I suppose it would be much harder for JITs and other dynamically generated code.

Which is... just about anything these days, I suppose? Half of the desktop apps are Electron, half of new CLI apps are in Node.JS, half of old CLI apps, including near-ubiquitous ones like git, are a random assortment of half a dozen scripting languages... I haven't actually counted it properly, but ad-hoc random sampling gives me an impression that a third of typical Linux distro userspace is in Python, and most of it not even compiled AOT.

My Amazon experience was similar. Especially the lack of coding due to the emphasis on devops/meeting culture. I have since felt that once a product reaches maturity, additional headcount (butts in seats) are operators first and secondly a swarm for something like a broadly scoped breaking change, runtime upgrade or platform migration. There is plenty of fat to trim even in aws despite it being among the more secure jobs to have at the company.

I’ve seen work slow down across a few teams and it just leaves me in a place of boredom and complacency with a major technical itch. Despite this itch looking to be scratched, I cannot seem to find the time/energy to pursue coding regularly outside of work in the limited free time I have. Maybe if I were single, no kids, dogs…
I am unsure whether I think this, but I haven’t found new friends since I left school.

I wonder if this backslash is based on reality or not. I mean, what is gonna happen? Maybe these guys are able to solve the technical problems that Evernote has been having. Maybe the product, which now works well on desktop, but slow on mobile, improves and they just sustain it without increasing prices. But it may also happen that they try to squeeze every penny from Evernote before dumping it into the trash. Who knows!
> I tend to interpret a written message in a much worse way than I do a message that is communicated verbally.

This is the crux of your issue, and it's fantastic that you see it.

So rethink. Adjust.

Instead of taking no vocal inflection as a negative, instead read the message as if the person had put positive inflection behind it.

Approach every conversation as if it had a friendly tone between people who get along.

When you respond, be overly friendly so people know your positive intent and hopefully respond in kind. Write every reply as if you were patiently having a relaxing conversation with your best friend.

> can you point me to judicial precedents where plaintiffs had their self provided footage weakend due to the idea of fabricating false narratives with devices, selectively natrowing contexts etc.

I was part of an organization that had communal space we wanted to install a camera in because one of our members was leaving a mess and we wanted to know who.

I’m not a lawyer, nor a judge, nor an expert but I’ve hired a lawyer about the above cameras before installation.

First of all, there’s no “selectively narrow contexts”. If you can submit footage into evidence, the courts incl the other lawyers can request different moments in time if you have it (eg for surveillance cams).

Our lawyer advised us to never start/stop the camera, never delete footage or generally mess with it in any way without a paper trail of why. Any footage should auto delete after a period of time, and not be manually done ever. Basically any manual manipulation of the footage could be suspicious if a crime were to occur where people might suspect the footage to have captured it.

I assume if our lawyer warned us that much, there’s probably a case history of trying to plant a narrative with footage.
I have no real information on the topic, but to me it looks like a "why not" optimization. It was probably pretty cheap to put into the hardware (seeing as it was already an ARM extension), the engineers probably figured there was some risk that it would be really important for some workload, and once they had included it they might as well use it.

In other words, it's probably not necessary but was included early on out of an abundance of caution. They knew that if it turned out to be used in some binary somewhere, it would be a major performance killer.

I'd be interested in seeing a benchmark with the hardware flag turned off and the translation/optimization setup used for linux enabled. I bet the difference would be negligible.
That was just the surface. Even the Python Foundation knew that their 2to3 converter tool just wasn't sufficient and hat to delay the discontinuation of Python 2 for half a decade, because there was so much unportable code out there. In the end we had 12 years where the two languages lived side by side and my first job using Python had us use 2.7 for new projects due to library concerns despite 3 being around for more than 7 years already.
Yes, it does seem like something the compiler should automatically define for you.

Yeah this is a thing. If you have enough hydro you can just turn it off entirely when the renewables are going and have a 50/50 mix.

If not, it's called pumped hydro storage (or most precisely it's blie field on river pumped hydro if it's already dammed and on a river). You need to trap the water somewhere so you don't have to pump it too far. This involves building a lower reservoir and adding pumps or modifying the turbines to be two way.
This is not one of the bigger problems to solve for our generation. European honey bees are not going anywhere.
