Generic linked lists can be done with pointer casts. See the way the Linux kernel does it.

The list manipulation routine takes a pointer to a member, and the more specific type is opaque. The code that knows what the actual structure is can derive it from a node pointer.

A structure can even have multiple node pointers in this scheme.
I don’t have a bar, I interview everyone recruiting sends me. I’m a software engineer now, but a mechanical engineer out of school, so I was trying to give some guidance without just laying out my life story and saying do what I did, starting with jumping in a Time Machine.

You still haven’t given your advice. If you’re going to be critical of mine you could add something positive in counter.
> Also, general reminder, I use the terms ‘fetish’ and ‘kink’ loosely. I know some people have particular definitions for it, but I don’t care.

I do think having and knowing the definition of fetish is meaningful: "a form of sexual desire in which gratification is strongly linked to a particular object or activity or a part of the body other than the sexual organs".
I posted links to this survey on my social media, primarily twitter and reddit, with some indirect advertising on fetlife and discord; these made up 74.4% of my results. Another 22.4% reported ‘other’ from the list of sources. The last 3.2% came from telegram, tumblr, and facebook; these categories have low enough sample that I’m not going to include them on graphs in this blog post.

I'm not sure this is representative of anything other than "people who follow Aella and are interested enough in the topic to fill out a self-report survey".
I don't like it because at the top of blocks it looks fine but at the bottom I don't know what's going on:

something
another

How nested are these things? I never know.
The survey does not claim to represent the general population. Many participants were recruited from places like FetLife, which you'd expect to lean heavily towards kink:

https://aella.substack.com/p/who-took-my-big-kink-survey

But the results are still interesting for comparative purposes, as well as the opinions of how the general population views each kink. For example, it's kind of remarkable that pedophilia is considered worse than cannibalism, "meatslaves" and "woundfucking", both new words I learned today.
That happens, of course, but I still have a couple of forums I go to which get good traffic and have much better information and advice than the Reddit version.
> > (and... fingering vaginas? Isn't that just foreplay?)

A good % of women can't orgasm from penetration. As a guy you want to be the person responsible for her cumming (and not leave her to do it herself) so gotta use either fingers or tongue.

It's basically in line with the survey that the blogger did.
I tried using this for a technical talk[1], and it got the amount of speakers wrong. Which is somewhat suprising to me, as I would have thought diarization tech would just worked by now.

The venn diagram of companies that use chatbots and that delight me does not intersect.

I can count the number of companies that delight me in 2022 on half of one hand. The rise of monopolies and data brokers means that businesses don't have to care whether I am delighted or not.
Better tests and more access to diagnostic tools helps medical productivity to some degree, although unnecessary testing pushes the other way. And sometimes better diagnostics leads to more interventions which may mean more labor (and sometimes better outcomes too)

I have a hunch that societies generate strong taboos specifically in response to things that are widely appealing to individuals but that are somehow considered harmful to the whole.
If you even decide to respond to a poll like this you're already in a bubble
I like this in theory, but when I've experienced it, I don't necessarily enjoy aggressively pre-fab architecture in a place I'm staying. One example is earlier this year I booked a room at a hotel near CDG so I could spend the night and catch an early flight. For a very reasonable price I got a room with a shower, a bed, a chair, a desk, and a (thankfully soundproof) window where I could marvel at the engineering of the underbellies of planes every few minutes. It was clean and quiet. The problem was that everything was CNC cut plywood or molded fiberglass and put together with exposed carriage bolts, so it had the feel, not even of being on the deck of the Starship Enterprise, but on a cheap plywood mockup of it. In a bathroom you need cupboards to keep your denture glue and hair bands, and surfaces where you can put random toothbrushes and face creams, and you might even want to put a hook in the wall to hang your loofah. You want to be able to look at the random patterns in the shower tiles and imagine faces and puppy dogs and stuff. I feel like if this bathroom was in my house, brushing my teeth or bathing in it would feel like being in a dystopian movie about an overpopulated, resource-barren, industrial earth. But maybe it was just ahead of its time in that regard.
Hmm, I'm not sure it makes sense that they should align. Something might be interesting to many but shunned because of societal concerns if it were practiced widely.
No it's not. Assuming the OP means something vaguely modern, it'll be a Thunderbolt dock that shares PCIe devices to the host. Try and work out the complexity of a PCIe device disappearing while you're "asleep" in your head. Trust me, you don't want to go there.
When it works, imaging (x-ray, CT, MRI, etc.) is ridiculously effective.

There's also stuff like figuring out that bacterial infections are a big contributing factor in ulcers. Once doctors believed it was true, interventions got a lot more effective.
I'm not talking about dependencies, but about the time spent before main(). It delays startup.

Another thing is that local static variables often compile to fairly horrific long code with branches. Better just move it to a wider scope or a longer-lived struct/class member somewhere.
I mean, hypothetically, what if Twitter said, "We really think it's bad for our brand to be connected to state sponsored info ops, and we'd like help avoiding it. Let's reach out to the FBI for threat intel to help us keep abreast of info ops."

(To be clear, I'm not saying this is what happened. In particular, Twitter's allowing Pentagon information operations--apparently by accident--on their platform doesn't look great.)

As a hypothetical--is that bad? It seems like it runs afoul of your "government should play no role in policing speech." But that seems like a somewhat oddly absolutist stance to me.

(For another hypothetical: let's say I'm Fox News, and I want to have a commentator on, but first I ping some buddies at the FBI and ask, "Is this commentator known to be an unregistered foreign agent?" Again, is it bad?)

A lot of these things could be bad. We might argue for some sort of firewall between anything involving media and private speech and anyone working in government ever. But that seems like a pretty radical departure from the status quo, and it's not obvious to me that what Twitter did was in bad faith or really different than the above examples.
Why the fuck would liking thighs be a taboo? Though of course even blow jobs and vagina play weren't seen as 100% clean cut either in the poll, so this sampling includes some puritan backwater people... I think they counter "missionary position" as slightly taboo too?
There is a difference. People are far less likely to go themselves, so that may be manageable by the restaurant. The app brings a lot more orders in. The restaurant possibly solved the problem by telling the delivery platform. If they suddenly had a bunch of couriers showing up at their door at peak times their solution would likely be similar, by telling the customer that they live too far away so they won’t let them order takeaway or something else along those lines. But the restaurants probably prefer to deal with a single party that can handle that bit of customer satisfaction for them.
> The community is full of very senior people who freely answer your noob questions.

The role of José Valim, the creator of Elixir, can't be understated. He's everywhere, he's got his hands in many of the top used libraries, and he's incredibly welcoming and responsive to all the inane GitHub issues I've opened over the years.

People wrongly compare Elixir to Ruby, but I wonder if he decided to recreate the welcoming and newbie friendly community and leadership of Ruby.

(Chris McCord, the creator of Phoenix, seems like a pretty swell guy too)

Also, a note on the upstream code: Elixir and its core libraries are some of the few projects you get a quick answer to your issues and they aren't closed because they've gone stale. 18 open issues, 5k closed on the core repo is an impressive ratio these days.

- "with many small and seemingly impossible to clean nooks and crannies prone to leaking and harboring of bacteria"

Ahh! I've wondered for a long time why this specific issue doesn't have mass-market solutions. I thought it was intuitively obvious that contaminable surfaces need to be high-radius convex and easy to access, else you're wasting valuable time playing stupid geometry games. Who wants to spend their life cleaning bathrooms? Clearly, the engineers who design these things don't clean their own houses, and don't talk to the people who do.
The survey was taken on a fetish website, and read it. I'm sure there is some mix of people who actually feel those things, and trolls just messing around. But you're right to not put any faith into it. Blasting out any kind of Internet survey it's just asking for useless results.
I particularly liked the Tesla bot announcement, where it was clear they hadn't even thought about it until just before they announced it. There's also the Dojo which they hyped for years as something that will give them the cutting edge imminently and still AFAICT isn't doing anything yet, meanwhile a couple more generations of TPU have been designed and productionized en masse

Chat GPT allows for conversation that is pretty remarquable today. It hasn't learned the way us humans have - so what?

I think a few more iterations may lead to something very, very useful to us humans. Most humans may just as well say Chat GPT version X is Artificial, and Generelly Intelligent.
I heard about how the first launch was planned to be expended near Hawaii, perhaps they'll attempt to hover before doing that. But even if they do that with the first few at some point they'll have to attempt a first catch, that will be quite a nail biter. It will be interesting to know how many they are willing to expend to get confident enough they won't destroy the launchpad.

But recall earlier this year one of the droneships was damaged by a landing of a returning F9. That was after over 100 landings.

Another part of this is how many successful landings are they going to do before people are allowed to be on board. How many would you want before you would feel comfortable? 5? 20? 100?

To achieve all this tolerances for Starship are going to have to be so much tighter than Falcon.
I too am extremely skeptical.

We took a similar approach in our JSON decoder. We needed to support sets (JSON object keys) that aren't necessarily known until runtime, and strings that are up to 16 bytes in length.

We got better performance with a linear scan and SIMD matching than with a hash table or a perfect hashing scheme.

See https://github.com/segmentio/asm/pull/57 (AMD64) and https://github.com/segmentio/asm/pull/65 (ARM64). Here's how it's used in the JSON decoder: https://github.com/segmentio/encoding/pull/101

Some of these seem to back up some things I was seeing in the Ashley Madison breach.

I was surprised to discover quite a lot of men saying they were interested in crossdressing, and quite a lot of women interested in their male partners crossdressing. A bit under 20% here, and without much skew towards either gender. I would have expected it to be more of a male-centric fringe activity, instead of what it actually is. (Perhaps because I'm not into it myself)

Fucking hell this chart made me chuckle, and then go silent in horror, as I worked my way from top left to bottom right.
The government (FBI, HSI, DEA, Treasury) wants to do all of this but can't because of the great constitutional liberties we have in this country. So they decided to outsource all this enforcement to financial institutions (https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/12/21.11#k). And when financial institutions in the past weren't as arbitrary and capricious in enforcing the vague government's vague rules as the government liked they fined them hundreds of millions of dollars. So now everyone is like Paypal and apparently this is supposed to be a good thing.

Read enforcement actions by the government. There will be a financial institution with tens or hundreds of thousands of customers and the government will use them failing to find three suspicious customers as a basis for enormous fines (https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement_actio... is a good example). Another thing you'll find if you read enforcement actions is that the government barely even cares what was illegal or not - they fine institutions for not reporting "suspicious" activity (without themselves investigating whether it was legal or not).
If your blocks are big enough that this isn’t obvious, that itself is a code smell.

The fault only extends as far as the amount of coffee they had to produce, but not the money. Had the distributors worked like the broker promised (they didn’t) then while the intense 3 shifts a day grind would have had to happen, the money issue wouldn’t be a problem, as they would have then sold it all to the distributor. So yeah, they fucked up, but not quarter million fucked up. That’s on the distributor and/or broker.
Do you think your mentality of using that language bleeds into other negative influences? You might benefit from learning from the criticism of your post and rethinking things.
The survey demographics state that many respondents were (claimed to be) under 18, and there was a statistically unusual spike at 18, implying many under-18s lied about their age.
> I’m under the impression that using it comes with some sizable scaling problems

Interesting. I have the exact opposite impression (I'm not experienced in live view; only written 2 small utilities). Erlang (therefore elixir) is fundamentally distributed, so as you mentioned, it would defeat the purpose.

So why gives you that impression? LiveView is just a smart/reactive socket built on Phoenix that behaves just like any other elixir process right? Why would it specifically have scaling issues?

I think the nose warms air as one of its functions. I've been trying to breathe in through the nose running, and breathe out through the mouth (at least in the winter when there's more than just air that would be released from the nose otherwise). I find that my nose hurts because the air feels cold and I start to feel inflammation - this happens indoors as well. This is separate from the capacity issue, and feels like my body telling me not to do that anymore.

When I was a small child I had an operation in my nose that did something - that my mom doesn't remember. To this day I imagine they removed or fixed something and no one knows what they removed or did, I woke up in a recovery room with my nose bleeding (inpatient procedure). I had terrible allergies as a kid.
I certainly tinkered around a lot with it over the years until it was blocking my work when I got my first remote job. Seeing the rebuttals here, sounds like it's worth dusting it off and giving it another shot at some point.
> that's hardly a reason against doing science

Determining what people should be allowed to say is not scientific by any measure, and trying to pretend it is completely discredits the argument. What should be acceptable to say is centered around feelings which shift with the winds. That is not science, it is pseudoscience by definition.

If you have a better argument, feel free to make it. If not, this line of thought can be dismissed out of hand.
This was pretty interesting. They estimate between 60% and 75% either watch something "same-day" or sometime soon after on a DVR.

"Anyone who watches a show on the night it airs, either live or by 3 a.m. local time the next day — Nielsen’s cutoff point for the 24-hour period — gets counted in same-day ratings. Those people, however, have steadily declined as a percentage of a show’s total audience."

I am trying to remember the last time I watched anything at home other than football or soccer on a network channel.

Claude Shannon’s research laid foundations for modern communications (2020)
You'll have that bias in any study about non-mainstream sexuality. Most people are vanilla or don't express their sexuality (although that did change with 50SoG, but the influx of people "educated" by it is a scourge on the BDSM community), many cultures (particularly religious fundamentalists) shame sexuality entirely, and even among the progressive crowd it's not really an everyday topic you can run surveys with...

The advantage of Aella's research is the sheer mass of people she draws in. Way more than a lot of research, and the mass eliminates trolls, religious fundamentalists and idiots that plague "popular research" aka yellow press surveys.
I used to think this, but nowadays I avoid any language that doesn't have static typing.

The difference in tooling support/IDE completions I get on practically any language that has types vs those that don't is just too drastic for me.

It's also so much less mental load to have to always remember the types in my head.

Another issue I've seen in dynamic languages is when people do try to document the types via comments or otherwise, but then this drifts from reality due to not being updated.

I actually tried elixir and this is one of the main things that turned me off it.

In BigQuery you can specify columns to include as well as exclude. For example:

select s.*, t.* except (s.foo, s.bar, t.blah)
from s, t
where ...

I've found this extremely handy for avoiding duplicate column names when joining tables. For example, trying to join two tables that both have an "id" column can be really tedious without this syntax.

How would your syntax achieve that?

Why is there a button ? Why not just image stabilize at all times ?
