> It seems like some people have the misconception that the US is a place of a few superyachts and mostly foodstamps. That's not really the case.

It's what i see on the news (not superyachts that much), on the "internet" (Reddit).

I understand reality is different, and that it's also different across states. But the stereotypes come from somewhere/something.

I'm sad that we don't have better workplace equality. We should take after NA in regulating resumes. We're allowed photos, names, gender, well anything we want to put on our resume we can. This could/does cause bias way too early in the selection process for jobs.

It doesn't explain why women, who on average perform better in school choose to pursue a career in Healthcare, which is "the worst" industry to work in over here. When there are so many other industries where they could make a great living with less stress, better schedules and more cash on hand.
More than 90% of businesses rely on the cloud to a greater or lesser extent in order to function. That reliance is increasing steadily with every passing year.

According to Osterman Research, the world creates 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day. That’s 2.5 raised to the power of 18, or 2.5 billion gigabytes, if that is any easier to conceptualise.

The point is most of this data needs to go somewhere. Whether it is required for business reasons, such as transaction details, or for analytics purposes, the majority of data is retained, at least for a certain period of time.

The role that the cloud plays in our day-to-day management and use of data has become increasingly significant, but also more varied. Four out of five businesses use multiple public or private cloud apps to fulfil different purposes. When businesses first started using the cloud it was as a repository for data lakes - somewhere to store unsorted data in its native format.
wtf. Since when is being true to the information we have at hand "deliberately downplaying the issue"? The only thing I did was to argue for more nuanced communication. Especially because I know linus and his way of communicating since he took over from Constanze and Frank.
Before SSL certs were as ubiquitous as they are now, we used to warn about the danger of curl to bash for unsecured URLs, as it's a vector for a DNS spoofing attack.

Now that nearly all URLs are HTTPS with valid certificates, the remaining risk seems to be that the host could be intentionally or unintentionally doing something destructive.

Sure it would be great to review the code of every install script before you run it, but as you allude to, it isn't practical.

Maybe something like ChatGPT could help us here?

The masking had no effect on either influenza, of which it suffered regular pandemics, nor COVID-19, as even though people wore them at work and, laughably, outside in the open air

a) the virus is aerosolised

b) Japan still experienced large waves of infections

c) the masks used are not of the requisite quality nor used properly (if you've ever had the horror to witness an old man pull down his mask to cough because he doesn't want to sully the mask, which perhaps he wants to wear tomorrow too, you'll know what I mean)

d) most transmission occurs at home, which may be the only place Japanese people do not usually bother with masks

e) Hikikomori is a real social phenomena in Japan but the vast majority of people are not hikikomori, nor did most people isolate. Even at the height of "soft lockdown" there were still lots of people moving around and work from home was still not something widespread.
And in the end you could always do

Just fyi, OCaml is about as old as Java (circa 1995) and its direct anscestors (Caml and ML) are about as old as C (1970s to '80s). Not exactly new ;-)
> To build a truly meaningful company ...

You need to take venture capital money and then grow as fast as possible. This is encouraging founders to take risky paths in order to generate the kind of windfalls that make venture capital investments work out. Much of the time slower growth will be easier to achieve and also more stable and reliable. This serves founders, employees, and clients better than the maximized growth speed model which serves venture capital investors.
I found myself specialized with data eng + platform skills in Clojure + Kafka + K8s + Node and it's a liability if you want to work outside of Big Tech, because few can afford to use tools like that. Node's relatively pretty expensive these days, believe I've used it a lot and bought into JS everywhere. But it's a really hard ecosystem compared to Python.

Might be an out there take, but being able to develop a shoe string web app that can be maintained by a solopreneur might be a good skill. Should translate to rapid prototyping concepts for big corporate managers as well. I'd argue Python could eat PHP's old niche in these regards, because it's way easier to get rolling from scratch with Flask and Pip than PHP was as recently as 2016.
Somebody could argue that it is part of the research to identify all links in the chain, whether they are related to tech or not.
You can't be sure that developer did that and it's better to stay on the safe side IMO.
> As charging stations become plentiful & convenient (read: very fast) battery size will naturally decrease

Batteries are currently outperformed by the charging stations. There are no passenger EVs that can make full use of a 350 kW charger for 10-80% of the charge curve.

Even something like the Hummer EV, which has a 212 kWh usable pack and can pull 350 kW at low states of charge, can only sustain that up to about 25% state of charge:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kpmXfCFamU

To have a smaller battery pack charge at 350 kW you'd need a new chemistry with a very high C-rate to sustain it for a good chunk of the charge curve.
Maybe it's because I'm not very experienced with web development but I have a hard time wrapping my head around this and unfortunately the tutorials didn't enlighten me either.

How is this used on a very high level? Is this a pure front-end framework? So, let's say I write an app using Dioxus. Then the input are .rs files but what is the output? For desktops: an executable? For web: a folder with HTML/JS/CSS?

And how does this work under the hood? Is it drawing all UI elements from scratch using Canvas/WebGL? Or is it more like a translator that fills a regular DOM at runtime and uses that for rendering?
I tend to agree, but I do enjoy the direction we are headed. At first, the solutions will be clunky and more often than not incomplete or wrong. However, with time, the great solutions will prevail, opportunity will present itself and lead to innovation and we will end up utilising tools like this to get 80% of the work done so we can focus on the real value of the product or solution.
yes it is not evidence and I don't think trump's tone was 100% sure of it. he just asked if there might be a way. that doesn't totally sounds dumb to look at it according to prior research.
> C++ has standardized ABIs but you just don't see people dynamically loading a C++ shared object, obtaining a pointer to a C++ object and calling its member functions. They always do it through the C ABI if they do it at all.

That does not match my experience at all. From the top of my head, Qt (QtPlugin) does C++ ABI plugins, and they do that almost transparently in a myriad of platforms.

> I just get this incredibly hopeless feeling whenever I try to contemplate how I'd handle a C++ exception from Python code.

At one point I could even catch C++ exceptions from Java, and viceversa (see gcj).

First think about your target company type/industry - the majority of corps will be using either azure, gcp, or aws - learn one (or more) of those and how they deploy using code etc.

Then think about that tools they use, in azure it will likely be ADF, Databricks, maybe Synapse.

> This is a problem that affects way more of the world than you seem to realize.

The original commenter was stating that EVs were entirely unsuitable for a hypothetical person.

The only way that it I can envisage it being entirely unsuitable is if they had no access to grid electricity.

My comment about a hut in Siberia is based on that.

Yes, some Americans might need to upgrade certain circuits, but that's not an blocker, it's just an implementation detail.

I'm very well aware of how cold it can get in the USA, but that doesn't prevent EV use, it just requires investment in infrastructure, and that's an investment I'd hope a smart government would subsidise if it's serious about reducing emissions.
It's a technology problem too: the devices should have been encrypted such that it wouldn't matter if they fall into the wrong hands.

Of course, it all comes down to organizational issues in the end (they knew about the risk and ignored it), but this seems like exactly the kind of thing that politics want to prevent when they throw around money for "cybersecurity".
I disagree. The awesome thing about react is it’s simplicity. Hooks can be compared to Rxjs from the angular world. That’s really complicated. I’m working with Rx for over 10 years now, and I’m nearly every time overwhelmed. React makes the concept of reactive programming really easy and accessible. But it’s still something complicated, and it will take people time to learn.

Doing those things is not completely wrong, there is just a better/easier solution.
There are languages with regular stress, for example in Polish stress almost always falls on second-to-last syllable. So when you hear stress you know the word is about to end and the next word will soon begin.

In practice it's not 100% true, there are regional differences (in Kraków people stress the first syllable instead), so it's not the only factor.

> They made it clear after the fact that this was done because there wasn't an adequate supply of masks for 330M people, and they needed to secure a supply for first responders. The job of the government is to make tough decisions like this in times of crisis

Tough decisions? Yes, lies - with a straight face? No. Now what? How can you do public health without public trust?* How can you govern effectively when the record showed you lied?

The irony? I still see people wearing masks; the kind of mask that are proven to be ineffective.

* On top of it we were assured these people were "the experts." However, this wasn't our first respiratory pandemic. Yet we were completely unprepared? What is their area of expertise? Lies?

Publib health and government based on lies isn't sustainable. Yet anyone who questioned that was marginalized? It get worse and worse.

The goalposts for what was "misinformation" moved all the time too. Making the whole misinformation information campaign silly stupid, but one just doubled down on it.
This is interesting but seems very basic. It looks like it is just lowering types that were previously too complex into C ABI.

Notably it doesn't solve anything about versioning. I honestly quite like the Swift approach. It isn't zero overhead but it defaults to really good comparability. Basically it adds a vtable for everything including member offsets and object sizes.

But the really nice thing is that you can tell the compiler when you don't need compatibility (code and types in the same library, or a library that you statically link) and the overhead just disappears.

Of course you lose a few language features (you can't know the size of a type) but then they have tags that you can apply to trade compatibility/flexibility to get those features back.
You can’t not give the name of company or product! We must know
The better question is: Knowing we've had a respiratory pandemic in the recent past, and knowing another would happen eventually, why were we so unprepared? And who - naming names - is responsible for that?

What is odd about it other than being different and not being immediately lexically sortable in file names?

You mean doctors like this Dr. Karas here one lost their license?

As early as November 2020, Dr. Robert Karas, the jail’s doctor, told inmates who had contracted COVID that he was giving them a cocktail of vitamins, antibiotics, and steroids when in fact he was administering dangerously high doses of the dewormer.

“At no point were Plaintiffs informed that the medications they were consuming included Ivermectin,” the lawsuit says. “Further, Plaintiffs were not informed of the side effects of the drug administered to them or that any results would be used for research purposes.”

As a result, these men experienced diarrhea, bloody stools, stomach cramps, and vision problems, the lawsuit says, all of which suggest ivermectin poisoning.

I think there's an argument to be made about earthly things being beautiful in that they are signals of a habitable environments thriving ecosystems. What has somewhat mystified me however is that we find extra terrestrial things just as, if not more, beautiful. In all likelihood we should find them absolutely banal and repulsive. There is nothing interesting for life out there. And yet, I think I speak for everyone when I say, there is universal appeal in everything out there in the cosmos. From moons to planets, stars to galaxies, nebula, supernovas, blackholes, the blue planet whatever is out there, is all incredibly visually appealing to humans. We are drawn towards them like few things on earth can. There is absolutely no evolutionary reason for us to do so because life evolved without as much as a sight of outer space. It is a hostile, desolate environment and yet in the words of Buzz Aldrin when he first stepped on the moon, there is something magnificent about that desolation.
Youtube felt like a major new platform even at the time of acquisition, and google tried to compete by launching google videos - but failed.
I also seem to run into performance problems using IDEs (even on recent, high end hardware) while vim remains fast.

If nothing else, the performance characteristics of vim are predictable (to me, after all these years) and there are various ways to work around any problems that occur (disabling plug-ins, etc).
But if they're not being watched, they don't consume bandwidth. YouTube's costs for hosting a video scale quite linearly with revenue derived from said video.

Is storage really that expensive at Google scale that this would constitute a real cost saving measure after engineering overhead of implementation and PR backlash?

I'm interested in the details of that. Perhaps the GCJ compiler generated some sort of bridge between the languages?

I wonder if we're moving back to an older way of consuming music where many or most people have musical ability and play for themselves and family.

I personally listen to less music and play more. Rather than looking for the new thing I'll examine songs in quite a lot of detail to understand them.

Yes OSC 52 is very handy for vim over SSH: instead of X11 forwarding - you can just yank text from remote vim into the local clipboard using OSC 52 [1].

Overall it's much quicker - as yanking in vim with X11 forwarding and '+clipboard' sometimes had a delay.
