You're assuming that there's funding for an extended mission, or that said funding wouldn't be better used on other initiatives, or even within the mission that the opportunity cost is worth it.

At the end of the day the best way to ensure mission success is to put the mission first, not future missions, not "nice to haves", put every dollar you have into making the prescribed mission as perfect as possible. You're suggesting the equivalent of "Navy SEALs sometimes get caught in larger than expected firefights, so each man should lug an extra 1000 rounds of spare ammo into combat just in case". And they could, but that would slow them down and endanger the immediate mission, even if only slightly.

The opportunity cost of that million dollars could be that testing is slightly less extensive and that a minor flaw goes undetected, or other work is rushed because the engineers were busy getting the wipers to work properly. It could also be that there's no interesting science to do in that area even with an extended mission, so the mission extension turns out to be completely worthless.

It's a different mindset than most engineers are used to, because we're used to users having vague desires and needs that even when well defined are somewhat ambiguous, so we plan generic solutions for a bunch of different edge cases and assume things will be used in ways other than what they're intended. And we all like building durable stuff that lasts the test of time. But when you're building a missile you don't care about minor memory leaks, and these probes are essentially science-missiles.

Ok! Granted there is some effort to figure out which server to choose. Isn't everything as easy as Twitter after that?

Arguably, it is even easier than Twitter because what really happens on Twitter these days is you sign up for an account, follow a few people, make a few posts and then suddenly find yourself to be blocked due to suspicious behavior. Mastodon is free of this nonsense so arguably Mastodon is easier to use?
The time for this to happen though is a long cycle though since Java holds such heavy backwards compatibility though right?
I have both Astigmatism (can't remember the level, diagnosticated long time ago) and Myopia, and from my personal experience, a not-completely-dark theme while coding in a well-lit room.

I tried using pitch-black/dark high constrast themes, but i find them harder on the eyes for some reason (felt eye strain in a few minutes). So i prefer the ones with mildly colorful tones and a translucent blue/dark background.

Last time i changed my glasses' lens, they offered some blue-light protection ones, and i think it also helped, though not so much.

I still need to try using light themes for real, but since i mostly code in a very dark environment, i don't think it would be worth it...

Sublime Text is still considerable faster than VSCode, and also has LSP via plugins, but its development again has grinded to a halt, which seems to be something that happens periodically when the team decides to focus on other products.
> Nothing is worse than trying to understand an issue with a program that heavily relies on environment variables for configuration

I totally agree with this.

> A good old configuration file is the best.

But the issue with this is that you often don't know what your configuration is ahead of time. Sometimes it is only generated just before execution of your code.

The First Amendment isn't absolute. The US has always had numerous laws that regulate and limit speech in various ways[0].

And the First Amendment explicitly doesn't prevent private citizens or organizations like Stanford from regulating speech themselves. It only prevents the government from doing so, with exceptions as mentioned.

And the premise that this could somehow lead to a dystopian future in which you are thrown in jail simply for uttering the phrase "master branch" is absurd. Even granting the slippery slope, that isn't a realistic fear.

Yep, I worked in the disk drive industry over twenty years ago, and I was surprised to learn that a lot of what we read off the disk is actually wrong! If not for a lot of generous error correction they'd've been pretty unusable.
You can change the resolution. A coarse resolution might be adequate for fairly quick feedback. Then you can crank up the resolution when you're ready to generate the final output. Or you could even progressively update the preview. I wouldn't call it realtime though. Like you wouldn't be able to animate a changing SDF.
Yeah. I get where the HOA side is coming from and believe they should have some ability to create communities like that for people who want to live in them.

But what we should be doing is capping HOA-covered SFH at a max % of an area, to ensure people still have freedom to live in non-HOA housing if they chose.

If someone wants to give up their freedom for pretty sidewalks, good for them. But it shouldn't be the only option.

Instead, a lot of areas have local government mandating/empowering HOAs for the sole purpose of not having to deal with their community issues, at the expense of placing people under the rule of petty, non-professional tyrants.
I agree and while I am a supporter of such laws, I do see the problem of "selective enforcement" that these policies tend to bring with them. Either they apply for everyone, get enforced by everyone and the enforcement agencies are monitored for that, or it will get abused.

For example, in a lot of public transport in Germany, alcohol consumption is banned, after young people partied and trashed trains too often. Enforcement is usually only limited to these people as well (and let's be real, it's disproportionately targeted towards non-white people), and people looking like managers or tradesmen don't get into trouble - obviously, young people are right to call that "double standards".

I am not insulting your personal identity by disparaging your choice in text editor. I am responding to a question of what could cause a future competitor to take the top spot away from VS Code.

My answer is that VS Code has inherent challenges from being built atop an embedded web browser, and that a similar implementation based on direct native executables may be the path through which it's successor will emerge. Carry on.
Couple jobs ago worked a startup that was a hoard of Java developers from Cars.com. Pretty much their defining factor around why they picked Java since it was the team they could build to get the company off the ground. Undervalued factor considering what teams you can build early on and the skills they possess.

Those are really more like separate processes. There's no ability to do a shared heap in browser JS, meaning it functionally doesn't have threads.

Whether or not workers are actually implemented as threads or processes in the runtime is irrelevant. As far as the JS code itself is concerned & what you can do with it, browser JS is lacking multi-threading. There's just no way to do a shared heap, and that is the biggest defining difference between a process and a thread.
Perhaps you should have bred smarter heirs who can independently produce their own creative bestsellers.
You do have to worry about the home mechanic who buries all the old oil and antifreeze in his backyard, or pours it down the sewer, when they should be collecting it in containers and taking it down to the local auto parts store, they usually offer free disposal.

In our township, you're not allowed to have a 'disabled' vehicle in your driveway. That means a vehicle that doesn't have current registration. You also can't park an RV or boat on your property for longer than 5 days in a row. And you can't park your vehicles on the grass.

In high school a friend and I tore the engine and transmission out of his car, in his mom's driveway. After a couple days they got a letter from the township, and we had to push the car into the garage. There are no rules to what you can have or do inside of your garage (as long as it's illegal), which makes sense.

We have a neighbor down the road with 6 cars in their driveway. Some don't have engines in them, some have a tarp over them, the rest they shuffle around parking in the street and such so they can go to work or wherever. It's a nuisance but nobody has yet to call in a complaint.

I guess the worst case scenario is the unlicensed home mechanic who has several vehicles that are not theirs, in various states of disrepair, scattered all over the property. People are always waiting on parts, or money to fix the car, days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months...
I don't think that is comparable. It's very different to do something in someone else's spot than in a spot you own and in a way that doesn't impact other people.

With modern C++, static analyzers and address sanitizers this aspect of Rust does not matter that much for me personally. As a language Rust looks way more restricted to me than a modern C++ and dancing around borrow checker is far from fun. Unless explicitly required by contract I do not see it as a business case with positive ROI for me. I run my own company and I actually pay for development.

A law that relies on the good judgement of the people enforcing it is a bad law, both because reasonable people can disagree on what constitutes "good" judgement and because the law needs to guard against both malicious and unintentional misuse of the state's power.

I think having the documentation close to the code it documents does make sense though - otherwise it quickly gets disconnected. You just need to create a culture where approval of any code change should also include change to the documentation in the same set of commits.
Yes. When we first got our baking steel I tried putting it on our outdoor gas grill as it can get up a bit over 700F. Let that thing heat up for a good hour, put the pizza on the steel and nearly burned myself from the steam that came off. Result was a charred bottom crust and raw top crust. Granted part of that was because the grill itself doesn't heat from the top as well as a real oven.

Now we use the steel only in the oven, which gets up to about 525-550F, and our outdoor Ooni.

Finally, you provided something!

Of course, your "evidence" is laughable. One is a student thesis about USA's involvement in coups during the Cold War (i.e. no relevance to your claim). Why did you bother using this?

The second is a newspaper article that describes how the prosecutor has charged a "CIA agent" with involvement in the coup. The evidence presented is that (1) a group of foreigners met in Büyükada and (2) he left the country four days after the coup and (3) he was (gasp!) at a HDP press conference (4) he wrote about Kurdish issues. How is this even remotely compelling to anyone?

Also, you claimed Mossad was involved but not a single mention of them anywhere

Look ... I am familiar with Turkey and I know all the ridiculous things that people believe in that country. This is extraordinaruly weak even by those low standards.
Not completely. For example mitochondrial DNA is totally separate from regular DNA, and it's passed exclusively mother to offspring.

It's the old bootstrapping problem - how do you get a running C compiler from code if you don't already have a running C compiler?

There is no example in nature where you get a fully functional cell starting exclusively from DNA.
In this specific argument, it was about regulations, which such centralized exchanges would need to comply with.

It says it is also illegal to repair a can at your home unless it is registered to someone who lives there. Compared to that, the specialized tools clause is unsuited to that purpose. But it's great for the purpose of creating the ambiguity necessary to inflate the scope of the law per "discretion".
> How are the laws and regs so unclear that a huge corporation of smart people can't avoid big fines?

They aren't. What is clear is that a huge corporation of smart people simply don't care about fines.

The answer is to make the fines much bigger, big enough that a single one would threaten the existence of Pfizer.

You forgot to mention how rules changed - if you are right that is the only way to undo what happened. Instead, you argue "it changed for the worse, let's change it even more in some random direction" - this completely illogical, it looks like you don't know what you are doing, but you (of course) play big intellectual and pretend it is OK to ignore facts.
Why didn't they just ordinance the noise or the improper disposal of chemicals if those are their concerns? Local laws always seem so reactionary and poorly thought out.

Going by my poor Japanese listening skills and some interviews from documentaries I've seen, Japanese speakers mostly stick to common words and idioms in conversations. They also "over-explain" by repeating, rephrasing, or even reacting to their own points.

MMOs are pretty much the last game Ruffle or any in-browser emulator will get to support - not just because it's likely some of the most complex piece of code you can find, but also because MMOs are likely to use sockets, which AFAIK can't really be accessed in modern browsers at all.

Current laws in many places do a pretty good job of accounting for that - you have a lot of leeway in your backyard, but more limits on what you can do in places visible from the street.

> in most german citys there is a set of acceptable colors to paint your house in (i.e. there is most certainly some authority that tells you what you can do to your property in any regard)

Out of respect for cultural differences, I won't protest you having this rule in Germany, but it doesn't sound great to American ears (I do acknowledge that Americans have disagreements about such things, but I think I speak for the norm that this sounds like people being busybodies).
> based on good judgement but most of the time you can ignore it it.

When it comes to laws and the American justice system we should absolutely ask where does it end. I have yet to see a law use good judgement. And sometimes that "judgement" leaves people dead. Philando Castile died for driving while black. In fact, there was no reason to pull him over other than the fact that he may have looked like a suspect.

So no I do not give the justice system in this country any common sense. It has proven repeatedly not to operate with any.

I understand AMD HiP is a CUDA clone, where library functions have the same syntax but with hip replacing cuda in the function names.

Behind, it can use AMD and NVIDIA hardware alike. Thus, the idea is that through typically negligible effort porting to HiP, your code becomes vendor-independent.

In practice, I do not know how true this is.

Thanks for saying this! My mind is much more "outline shaped" than "infinite canvas" shaped. I've noticed that the infinite canvas approach has started to gain popularity (we use FigJam a lot at work), and I find it somewhat disorienting.

Great article, thank you for sharing this experience. The part I found most interesting is the section about the aspect ratio and interpolating between the 16:9 and 16:10 views relative to the original, although I'm having some trouble fully understanding the implementation. Why is the game interpolating between them based on the games aspect ratio?

> You're free to join a homeowner's association which will micromanage not only smells but also the location of your garbage can.

Here in Germany, that is usually governed by city codes anyway, no need for an HOA - trash cans usually have to be in a separate room indoors (for large complexes) or in an enclosure (e.g. [1], the first grab off of Google). We don't need micromanaging HOAs (and don't have them outside of condo complexes), because decades upon decades of experience have led to a democratically agreed set of basic rules - in this case: society has democratically decided that they don't want trash bins standing around in the open, partially because that's a fucking eyesore, partially because free-standing bins just attract vermin and pests.
