English can be ambiguous, especially when written quickly online.

To pass the Turing test, a computer has to infer the missing context.

For example, “is this human really saying the solution is for every human being to buy an electric car ” or is he implying that people should trade in their gasoline cars for electric ones?

Statistically speaking, how often do people say everyone should buy an electric car, even if they don’t own or need a car?

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" gets eye rolls because it's examples and values are against the current society standard and some people don't like that.

That's because the book was written in 1936! One needs to look past the sometimes outdated examples and will find that every clue on social interactions is still spot on.

The irony
Exception handling is usually a specific job in logistics, often titled 'problem solve' or similar. The people doing delivery routes only have the time/information/procedures in place to do their assigned tasks. They probably don't have the time, space, or information to determine what to do with that basket. It was someone else's job assignment.

Hm so then how do you compile for x32 and have 32-bit pointers without the other restrictions?

It sounds like x32 is poorly supported by Linux and x86 would be better supported.
Yeah, I don't know. In a related vein, I assign a great deal of blame for this situation to two groups of people: first, his employer, which was confronted with crystal-clear signs of severe mental illness (his termination was the culmination of a series of deep-dive student newspaper articles that revealed all sorts of disturbing stuff) and chose to cut him loose, and second --- and much more significantly --- to para-"normie" activists like RFK Jr who know full well they're capitalizing on serious pathology to build their followings.

> What possible advantage is there to be gained from any other choice?

If you're the only one writing the entire stack of code that gets bundled into the delivered program, you're right, no real advantage from other choices.

But as that's rarely the case, there is a lot of advantage from having a forced type system. Otherwise your code might be great but you're pulling in libraries and code from many other teams who chose to omit type info and/or ignore all warnings so you still have the same problem.

> The modern Japanese diet is very, very far from vegetarian. In fact, you'll have a very hard time eating in restaurants if you're a vegetarian in Japan. I guess if you consider fish to somehow be "not an animal", though, it's much easier.

Granted, but Modern anything will often reflect a more meat based diet due to convenience (Lawson's bentos and snacks are amazing!) and despite several lost generations and the rise of the freeta generation(s) an over all higher standard of living as made meat consumption a norm rater tan an exception.

As a fomer cook/chef I can assure I can easily make 5 days our of 7 wit just tasty vegetarian meals rather easily because Japanese is my repertoire, and plant based dashi can be just as good as it's fish based variants (I onsider it a meat protein, albeit a more naturally sustainable one wen done properly/seasonally) thus can build flavour tat way.

By contrast I ave a harder time to do so with Italian which is my other cuisine despite having a more immersed culture experience--I lived and worked in Emilia Romagna wit its abundance of meat based parma options.

Fair enough. I've realized I am currently using Tailwind in a way that is not the default and maybe a lot of people don't know about it. I think I will write a blog post about it.

Also, I think I am wrong. It's possible to use Tailwind without implementing a build step like PostCSS, which would necessitate using it much like the documentation describes.

>We've had well-functioning applications that predate Tailwind or CSS in JSS, so I'm not sure what doesn't scale.

CSS has fallen victim to the same "cult of semantics" that HTML has, and it's disingenuous bullshit just like it is in HTML (mostly).

Yes, if you have someone who really cares and writes great CSS they will have everything broken out into custom variables and well designed and named classes. You still have the problem of how you scale that, right? After all, if you have a .card that is formatted one way on one page but laid out differently on another, you have to think up a different class name or refactor.

Enter BEM. Block, element, modifier. A consistent naming system for your large application. That is both subjective, requires a lot of extra mental bandwidth in a time when you're lucky if half the "front-end developers" you're working with know more than the basics of CSS to begin with.

I have seen some truly tortuous HTML that uses BEM classnames. It was awful.

So when I say it doesn't scale, it's that most large codebases end up with !important everywhere and z-index:9999999 etc...

So throw it out completely. Utility classes make sense when you accept that you are probably styling a component and that markup will be inserted everywhere the component is. You never have to think about what your class name should be, and if it makes sense, or if it conflicts with other scopes.

Yes, an HTML element with 15 classes is not ideal.

The example I posted would hopefully be the logical end (and is if you're using Svelte with PostCSS configured) - where we're no longer writing html documents full of elements and then a stylesheet styling them. Each discrete UI element has one document, markup, state and styling are tightly coupled, and it can be reused many times.

It gets rid of nesting being very important, it gets rid of having to write verbose media queries for responsive. It makes changing things really fast.

The part about Tailwind providing sensible defaults in terms of sizing, spacing etc... is just icing on the cake. The problem that Bootstrap had is that it tried to do too much. It came about in an era when doing layout in CSS was really hard. So it rolls its own stuff like modals, dropdown menus, grid etc... it also takes it upon itself to style actual HTML elements, which to me is a very poor choice. Including bootstrap will get you default styles for headings etc... but I believe in Tailwind it's all done through utility classes.

Tailwind doesn't do that. The focus is on removing semantics from styling. Look at the API surface: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/

There's a "Components" link, but that's to a paid resource showing common UI patterns built with Tailwind.
Yeah, it's just... sorry, but there is nothing in the world so exciting that 149 exclamation points (thanks to another poster for counting) is warranted.

It's honestly the opposite for me. I need the mental crutches provided by strong static typing.

TL;DR:

I work with a lot of very smart, very talented software developers who thrive with Python's dynamic qualities. They have little problem reasoning about our software's runtime behavior.

Unfortunately, I'm a bit less intelligent than them. I have a much harder time understanding the code's design and behavior due to that dynamism. I would really benefit from the crutch of strong static typing, and the more obvious relationship between static source code and runtime behavior.

Our itinerant Canadian geese have an annual ritual:

- Depart for ten months, repeat

I’m not sure I follow. If someone only “tops off”, that means they need more charging visits. Given a constant amount of driving, the total time spent occupying a charging space is constant whether you do it in biweekly one-hour bulk charges or spread it out to daily five-minute charges.

Is the idea that people would charge at home more?

Frame pointers are enabled by default on macOS and iOS and I can't understand why they aren't enabled by default elsewhere. It just makes it so much easier to debug and profile things.

See for instance Apple's ARM64 calling convention: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/writing-arm6...

"The frame pointer register (x29) must always address a valid frame record. Some functions — such as leaf functions or tail calls — may opt not to create an entry in this list. As a result, stack traces are always meaningful, even without debug information."

I think they'll make incremental progress at accepting more programs, but that BPF-C programs aren't going to look like normal C programs any time in the near future.

There's a bunch of data structures available to BPF programs, because they can call "helpers", which are just ordinary C functions. There are concurrent semi-durable key-value stores of varying types (eBPF "maps"). These aren't written in BPF-C; they're just kernel code that BPF gets to call.

Adding new helpers is not nontrivial; you can't just load them into your kernel and call them; they're part of the kernel API.
Can someone explain this vtoon trend to me? It doesn't seem to be driven by anonymity because their real name is easily findable, so I assume it's something else? It seems very common, especially in certain communities.
I get the sentiment, but ime this speaks more to architecture and code organization than the merits of static typing. It's always possible to skip type checking by designing the software to be modular enough that unreachable code isn't included in the local build.

Like updating data structures should never result in days of work before you can run simple tests. Create a new build artifact that only pulls in the new data structures and the software modules you're working on (and their tests). If you need to pull in the universe to run any unit tests, they aren't unit tests.
I'd love to see a size comparison of the DWARF encoding vs the binary search map. I have a strong suspicion that there's a neat perfect hash solution to this problem - perfect hashes can encode keys in single digit #bits, and you get faster lookups.
I'd say still by a lot, but yeah, IDEs have advanced in the last 20+ years (and one of the main advantages of something like VScode or IntelliJ is that it does a lot "out of the box" and it's pretty discoverable).
Well, anyways that's what I was doing this time last year. Much too small a team to have a dedicated ML engineer though.

Except few places have defunded their police. I would bet NYC has not. In many places it seems the cops are somewhere between understaffed and simply pouting and not doing their job unless it's exciting. Anecdote: I had about $2,500 of electronics stolen from my car on video in a parking lot, and the cop did not go back to check for full footage or imply anything would be done about it. Didn't even check to see if there were plates in the back of the car!

By the way, "defund" was also about using some paramilitary police funding to fund social services and mental health calls like the ones that may be dealing with the people in this discussion.

Finally, recall that "defund" kicked off at the same time as a global pandemic and major economic shock, an affordable housing shortage, a wage shortage and a drug epidemic.
I never read the docs (ok, I do, eventually) but I actually never saw that "tidbit" but it just seemed intuitive that having a million classes wasn't good... but that's why I almost always make what I need to make and then start breaking it down into components. Or, if I have a good plan, start with components. I've never had to use an absurd amount of classes.

What is the alternative?

Having worked with eBPF for a while now, it’s actually interesting how it makes you think about useful limits, that we typically defer thinking about. For example instead of writing code that validates a string and then doesn’t care about the length anymore we just always limit it to only process a certain length in the first place. I’ve found few problems that I couldn’t find useful limits for.

That’s not to say that the verifier isn’t limiting and at time difficult to deal with, but I find it less of a limitation in practice than it seems at first. Much like rust’s borrow checker I do think it takes a change in mindset.

//edit

Turns out being thoughtful about this when writing the code is also helpful for performance reasons as things like loops can be unrolled which can have significant performance gains.
