Pascal similarly lives on with Deplhi/Lazarus. I know plenty of currently supported commercial programs running on Delphi and considering a transition to Lazarus.

I've seen an uptick in APL and APL-derived array languages. "Niche" would have been a better term. I would put Smalltalk in the same category.

What about some commercial languages instead which are de-facto dead, such as ColdFusion, ActionScript, Lingo, and so on...

This comment is like low quality empty calories. This is a fake debate largely from misunderstanding and misinformation (which a sibling comment has already provided historical context). Can we just move on and talk about the game/match?
Spanish words ending in "o" are, by default, inclusive. For centuries, it has been a linguistic idiom (not just in Spanish) that references to mixed-sex groups of people are done in the masculine. Women understood this perfectly and were not slighted by the custom, because it would not lead to an assumption that a group of people were homogeneously male or an assumption that women were "lesser" than men or excluded from the conversation. If a group of people is uniformly female then the feminine declensions can be used, and fluent speakers will easily shift from one to the other based on group composition.

It's very much the same sort of situation that we've used words like "mankind" and "peace on Earth, good will towards men" and women have always understood that "men" included them implicitly. It's only recently that women have chosen to take linguistic offense and rise up and complicate the language in search of manufactured equity.
You can either care about how blind people feel through your usage of language or not care.

You don't get to say they should not feel that way.

Why not take it on good faith that this work was guided by research thar asked more blind people than you have? Once you accept thar you can then decide on whether you care or not and act accordingly.

All political correctness boils down to is politeness and not upsetting other people. If you don't care how they feel, crack on with this sort of rage posting.
"Commit suicide" has the same vibes as "masturbation is self-rape". It doesn't make sense, as an act against oneself is by definition happening with consent. They're both acts of bodily autonomy.

> When consumed, aspartame becomes aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol, all of which can have potent effects on the central nervous system.

The dose makes the poison. So. How does a 2L bottle of Coke Zero compare to say a single apple? Or something similar. That's what this discussion should be about.

Remember that aspartame is 40000(! four zeros) times sweeter than sugar. Meaning you will drink just amazingly tiny amounts of it compared to similar sugary drinks.

Yes, it's the people not the metrics.

Problem is solved in the second sentence:

>It’s a mistake to ignore the people that make those businesses work,

True.

>but you need to understand the numbers to know how the business is doing.

False.

You need people who understand the business even more so without exact numbers, who can hands-down outperform those who rely on metrics instead.

That's why they were called "businessmen".
> Harm is a serious thing: It represents the line where my rights end at yours.

That's the only definition of harm you think is valid?
I'd totally be up for fining companies retrospectively for harming people's health even before the harm was well understood.

That gives the companies an incentive to do the research ahead of time to minimize damages.
> Grandfather: This term has its roots in the "grandfather clause" adopted by Southern states to deny voting rights to Blacks.

> Red team: "Red" is often used disparagingly to refer to Indigenous peoples, so its use in this context could be offensive to some groups.

> Blackbox: Assigns negative connotations to the color black, racializing the term.

> Brave (do not use): This term perpetuates the stereotype of the "noble courageous savage," equating the Indigenous male as being less than a man.

This is the pseudo-intellectual equivalent banning any word that contains "ass" because "ass" is a bad word.

It will certainly vary by Twitter community, but I'll say that the infosec community on Twitter has certainly either moved to Mastodon exclusively, or is posting primarily on Mastodon and cross posting to Twitter. Additionally I'm seeing more and more of writer Twitter move to Mastodon, including several large authors leaving Twitter entirely. I expect that politicians in many forms will be the last to move, but journalists are likely to have to leave Twitter entirely given Elon's current anti-journalist tendencies.

I'm old enough to have seen the "end" of Myspace before... and kinda like is happening with Twitter now, it started with a little bit at a time, then all at once almost everyone was gone.

> almost zero regen-braking

This is interesting. I wonder if large capacitors could alleviate this: somewhere to quickly dump the regen energy, and charge the battery with it at some slow rate equivalent to the long-term average regen load. Not only would it help in cold situations where the battery can't be charged quickly, but also situations where the battery would be healthier if not charged quickly, which is always.
“Mbappe was really the star of this WC Final”

This is the narrative, but it’s far from reality. Mbappe was invisible for 80 minutes, his refusal to track back and defend in part the reason France were forced to sub off Giroud and move Mbappe into the centre.

He scored two penalties, admittedly that requires nerves of steel but it’s not particularly impressive given they’ve a high xG, and scored an excellent second goal.

Typically players are judged on their quality throughout the entire game, not a moment of quality in an otherwise drab performance, but this seems to be the modern way - the highlights are more important.

To that end Messi was involved in everything, created the second goal with an excellent through ball into space, scored twice, and set up numerous chances that Martinez was unable to finish. A far more impactful performance.

Until I switched to a kneeling chair I had a 3 button foot pedal under my desk. I programmed it with https://github.com/rgerganov/footswitch and it worked an absolute treat. As an i3 devotee it was even more special.

It didn't support up/down events but that was ok for me.

For me the mapping was:
button 1 i3 workspace back_and_forth.
button 2 exec a floating urxvt terminal.
button 3 i3-lock.

Using Emacs on contemporary keyboards causes similar problems because the Ctrl key used to be in a much more convenient location. I have had good experiences switching the left side Alt and Ctrl keys to remedy the problem. But the foot pedal is almost more elegant.

I don’t know. Some of my fondest memory as a child was roaming the old childhood libraries of my mother and uncle while staying with my grand parents.

Yeah it’s a terrible and misguided scene, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t require effort and talent.
Penalties are not random at all. There is a reason why some teams suck big time on penalties while others nail them all the time (or almost always, depending on the generation, players, etc).
Does VSCode link you to the file a built in command is written in? In emacs not only can I read built in command source code. I can even change it and reload the functions on the fly.

Do you believe that all centralized platforms are inherently evil?
Something I do that might also work for some folks: I don't use the Slack installed app, just the webapp on my browser. It makes it easier to hide away/close it.

The main reason I do this is that as a freelance dev I work with several different companies; I keep a separate browser profile for each, and Company X's Slack just lives as a tab in the corresponding browser profile/instance. I've also found it helps me keeps Slack as something I check for time to time, instead of an active, distracting presence on my computer.

It's always interesting to see how well older articles age. At 10 years old, this one has aged pretty well.

The article makes the main point that a lot of the costs of a theoretical fusion plant are the same as those for a fission plant, namely a way of turning heat into power. It also claims that 2/3 of the costs of a nuclear plant are for that conversion.

If you look at energy costs by source [1] you see the wind and solar are already 4-8 times cheaper than fission.

We're not really any closer to solving the profound technological challenges that existed when this was written 10 years ago. The most optimistic estimates still put fusion at decades away.

My view is that our long-term power generation will come from space-based solar collectors.

Ye I agree with the later. People wanted a Western with cowboys. It also had this "Greec theater thing word" were the audience, the guests, knew the story but the actors, the hosts, didn't.

You can post URLs on your Insta posts, it's just not a clickable link. Twitter's policy is any text that describes other social media sites is banned, including trying to get around it by using "dot" ("instagram dot com/user" is banned on Twitter).

If you define Twitter’s market as “sites that do things very similarly to Twitter,” I agree they look dominant. I doubt U.S. courts would agree with such a narrow definition, though.

Twitter itself doesn’t seem to take that view of its own market, given that Facebook and Instagram are first on the block list—both products of Meta, a competitor with far more eyeballs and revenue than Twitter.

Humans also collectively generate more ideas and products in a single day than a single person could evaluate over their entire lifetime.

Whether we realize it or not, no matter how DIY or independent we might be, we all rely on trust in others’ specializations to live anything resembling a modern lifestyle.

People are quick to judge those who have misplaced their trust as “dumb” but trust is quite a difficult thing to evaluate, particularly when information asymmetry is involved.

People who fall for scams usually do so in a very rational way, given the trust networks they have built for themselves.

Windows Win32 API still uses Pascal calling convention instead of standard C. Shadow from the dead.

And also there was the 4th generation language movement at that time, 4GL. Defined by coding like writing English sentences, and not much algo. More akin to our no-code, low-code trend. SQL was also a child from 4GL. C/C++ was then seen as 3GL. And then we can now watch 3GL ultimately took over 4GL, at least until now, for half a century.

Tidbits.

Corrected: COBOL was 3GL.
I would probably go for rust over c if the only reason for c is "os level". But either way, this is for requests from "real" http clients, eg: web browsers? Presumably you're already "trapped" at a pretty high level, like tls, http/2 etc?

Otoh, if low level is what you want, maybe look at:

https://2ton.com.au/rwasa/

and/or the library it is built on.

On the other hand, if you just want to log headers to a file, caddy can do that in a few lines:

AFAIK it can't log request bodies out of the box (like the content of a POST).
I always disable auto-updates on my PCs. The OS has no business installing anything on it's schedule, or in any schedule. I do it on mine as I go. I just have update notifications and I install them manually when I feel like it.

Also, it is bizarre that they desinged a software delivery system with no option to disable auto-updates... and only adding the option now.

And the fact that Firefox frooze during the update is also strange. Not sure if it's a snap problem or Firefox problem.

As a long-time Firefox and Linux user (started using Firefox when it was alpha version and Linux around 2002), the best decision I made around 3 years ago was move to Windows and Edge.

It was a great final, exciting and fun to watch, at least towards the end. As a World Cup edition, though, I found it a disappointing one. It might be that the unusual season when it was played made physical skills more important than usual, not sure. It was difficult to find good, modern football though (beside maybe with Brazil, but they self sabotaged them in a few minutes folly). In general, it seemed that the whole world wanted Messi to win and we eventually had that.

The fact that the two (possibly three) top players of the tournament played for the same club is something to ponder about I feel.
The people pushing these language initiatives are the obnoxious and worthless hall-monitor types no one likes to work or speak with. The ones who never do anything productive in the organization they find themselves in because they’re too busy trying to mount moral crusades.

We’ll see less of this as shops and institutions find the need to focus on ROI, products, innovation, and shareholders once again now that the fairytale of free money and unlimited free labor is expiring. The people who do the actual work to build and teach and innovate at the periphery of their chosen industry will devour the hall monitors.

> Write a comment in the style of a HackerNews comment, providing a detailed, logical argument explaining why blocking references to competition on social media is actually the best way to achieve free speech

Blocking references to competition on social media is actually the best way to achieve free speech because it allows for a more level playing field. When certain companies or individuals are constantly promoted and given a platform to speak, it can create a bias and give them an unfair advantage. By blocking references to competition, everyone has an equal opportunity to be heard and share their views.

Additionally, allowing references to competition can often lead to the spread of misinformation and propaganda. When one company or individual is constantly promoted, they may use their platform to spread false or misleading information in order to give themselves an edge. By blocking references to competition, we can help prevent the spread of misinformation and ensure that users are receiving accurate and reliable information.

Ultimately, the goal of free speech is to allow for the open exchange of ideas and opinions. By blocking references to competition on social media, we can create a more balanced and fair environment for this exchange to take place.
