One of the main drawbacks of function overloading is that it can make code harder to read and understand. When the same function name is used for multiple different purposes, it is confusing for developers who are reading the code. This makes it more difficult to maintain and modify the code in the future, as developers spend extra time trying to understand the various function definitions and how they are being used. Even finding what file the function is in can be a non-trivial task.

Another issue with function overloading is that it can make code more difficult to debug. If a bug is found in one of the overloaded functions, it can be difficult to determine which function is causing the issue. This can make it more time-consuming to fix the bug and can lead to frustration for the developer. I remember debugging an issue at OkCupid and we lost many hours due to debug information being collapsed for overloads, making it look like the wrong function was being called in the debugger.

Finally, function overloading can lead to code that is more prone to errors. When the same function name is used for multiple different purposes, it can be easy to accidentally call the wrong function with the wrong arguments, which can lead to unintended consequences or runtime errors.

In conclusion, good riddance. This is what makes Zig a great language, that it doesn't have garbage like function overloading.

I also noticed there's no license from the AI that your using, most if not all of the ones ive seen have a provision that a copy of their license must be provided to the users, as well as some other stuff such as restrictions[0]

Also from the FAQ:

"Q. Can I use my logo for commercial purposes?

A. Yes, all of the logos generated by LogoCreatorAI are yours to use as you see fit. You can use them for commercial purposes, such as on your website, business cards, and other marketing materials. You may also resell them."

Nothing here or anywhere else explicitly says that the logo I receive is unique or that you yourself dont retain rights to the generated image once the transaction is done.

There are many outliers. For instance, about 30% showed interest in "teens under 18" (which is different from "pre-puberty teens" by the way), but it's ranked 85% on the tabooness score. Another fetish with 30% interest is "thighs" which is only 15% on tabooness.

This is far from the truth; oftentimes the joke with GPUs is that you're buying a hardware driver with a device to unlock it.

I guess you're right. Still, in the 1930s, if you owned a car you knew how to quick repair on the road, so you knew a thing or two about the machine. The workings of things we use do get hidden behind veneers over time as the industries around them mature and they become widely used, there is an element of needing to dig, but I'm probably overstating it. If someone wants to learn how to do the complex stuff you're right, it is easier to do so now, but it's less crucial, and having these tools in your life isn't as synonymous with learning how they work as it used to be.

The only way to do it in go is to always handle errors, even if you just want to pass them through. It’s one of the downsides of the language. My recommended way is to use a language with exceptions. They have downsides too, of course. It’s always a trade off, but I personally think the upsides of exceptions outweigh the downsides. At least the better implementations of them do.

You can easily replace this with various forms of map/filter in many other popular languages. Assuming cleanUp is a single-argument function/static method:

// JS
stuff = stuff.filter(s => s.unprocessed).map(cleanUp);

// Java
stuff = stuff.stream().filter(s -> s.unprocessed).map(Main::cleanUp).toList();

// C#
stuff = stuff.Where(s => s.Unprocessed).Select(CleanUp).ToList();

Java streams and C# LINQ extensions also expose other nice data processing functions, eg. sum, takeWhile, distinct.

And if you like Python’s dictionary comprehensions:

{str(n): n * 2 for n in range(1, 11)}

you can use ToDictionary in C#:

Enumerable.Range(start: 1, count: 10).ToDictionary(n => n.ToString(), n => n * 2);
I’ve started using Python more for fun lately (coming from C and C#). I wish more languages used white space as things are so much cleaner - the odd messed up return statement / parallax error isn’t worth all of the curly brace noise imo.

> It's easier to add complexity to the loops

This is basically selling point for comprehensions. You can't add complexity to them so any comprehension you see fits a few common loop patterns you can grok immediately.

If you see an actual for loop in python it means "pay attention something odd is probably going on."

Fingers: Human Code Is Dangerous
Hey, I know this holiday! It was one of the questions on the Life in the UK test. Finally I feel a little bit more British than the average HNer.

Another fun fact, which is in the linked Wikipedia article but also inescapably in my head: Hogmanay traditions include singing the folk song "Auld Lang Syne" by the Scottish poet Robert Burns aka "The Bard" who wrote poems in the Scots language.

A confusion I sometimes have is where we should start pulling the string to unravel systematic racism. On some levels it can seem like if the purpose of this dataset was to analyze the impact of these variables on the prices humans (who were and are racist) are willing to pay than if B had predictive power (because people were racist), than excluding it in general seems wrong. On the other hand applying that across society is part of how we got redlining and in general a lot of the systematic part of systematic racism. Should we sort of handicap our models of human behavior to exclude race (and try to exclude proxies the model can find).

I think regardless removing this model seems right since it's A a toy, B dated, and C liable to not be seen with the care it needs to be, but say if I'm trying to calculate who will be the next famous actor, is it wrong to include variables to allow the model to pick up on how shallow and say fat phobic society is (or just plain racist again)

We have the same thing on our neighborhood asphalt roads. It's a noisy day every few years when they do it. One truck idles up the road with a big air compressor and a guy walking along behind it with an air nozzle on a stick, blasting anything loose out of the crack. It's pretty loud, predictably. Then a little ways behind him comes another guy with a tank of tar filling the cracks. Every few years on an alternating schedule they put a liquid asphalt coating over the top of the whole thing.

It's not the most beautiful thing, but it's smooth.

I'm 97.92% sure they don't actually do this because it's better. It's cheaper than resurfacing -- then they drive along with a big machine that grinds off the top few inches of asphalt, crushes it up, adds tar, and puts it back down to be rolled.
Happy chatbots don’t improve customer service b/c being cheerful doesn’t necessarily improve customer service. It’s a nice bonus, but really what improves customer service is taking the time to make the customer feel like you understand whatever problem they are having. Being cheerful/happy/blah blah is a nice bonus, however really what makes you walk away feeling good is a feeling of being understood.

A chat bot can answer questions, but it’s a lot harder to make it understand your individual situation.

>Also, you've misunderstood: the 455 people is not the number of people who would die with colon cancer -- it's the number of perfectly healthy people you'd need to screen to prevent one case.

No. I haven't. If we don't do any colonoscopies, that 1 in 455 who develops colorectal cancer will die (as my uncle did) if the cancer isn't diagnosed early enough.

Don't want to go through the "trouble" of a colonoscopy after 50 years of age? Then don't. If so, I hope that you or anyone you love isn't that 456th person.

Yes, Anecdotes aren't data. However, that 1 in 455 is a statistic and what are statistics? Data based on aggregations of anecdotes.

I mentioned my uncle not because I want to pull your heartstrings. Rather, it's because while it's a simple thing to look at data and statistics, it's easy to forget that such data (at least in this case) breaks down in to anecdotes just like that one -- e.g., dead and/or very sick people -- who wouldn't be sick or dead with appropriate screenings.

If you don't care that some people will die without colonoscopies, that's your prerogative. I hope that attitude doesn't keep you or those you love from identifying potential colorectal cancer before it's too late.

That you don't care about others getting sick and dying[0] from the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, says something. Not sure what though and I won't speculate.

I'm sure that the your full-throated support for not doing colonoscopies is cold comfort to the (~36-56/100,000 Americans) ~118,000-185,000 actual, real people who develop colorectal cancer per year.

I'll say it one more time -- there are real people represented in that data. People who suffer and die every day. And if we did fewer colonoscopies, more of those people would, in fact, die, because their cancer wasn't diagnosed at all/soon enough. And so I have to put on my Quincy, M.E.[1] mask and ask: People are dying, doesn't anyone care? Is it correct to say that you don't care, or am I missing something?

It would be easy for me to just wish colorectal cancer on you and then ignore you, but I don't want you to get colorectal cancer (or cancer of any kind for that matter). Dying of cancer is a slow, agonizing, incredibly painful way to die and should be avoided as much as possible.

If you have a family history of colorectal cancer, please, please start having colonoscopies every two-five years starting at age 45.

If you don't, please do so every five years or so starting at age 50.

Or not. It's your life and (eventually) your funeral. That's up to you.

If you think Fauci is honest and trustworthy you're part of the problem in trying to 'other' those calling out the lies. The culture of "the people on my side are good/right but not yours" is a big part of today's problem, rather than "why isn't either party held to account?" Don't look into Fauci's research partners if you'd rather keep his image in tact for you.

Both (in the US) parties have massive ties to and influence of the industries they regulate and govern and both get away with mass corruption wholesale, while people suck up ideas like Trump is an outsider hero and Pelosi is a champion for women.

It's easy these days to find evidence of the corruption and lies because people don't rely on the print media to find it and filter it for them. Of course this does not mean it's all lies and people don't filter the false things either, but it should put an awful lot of pressure on those in power to stop the corruption and manipulation, yet we're seeing a doubling down and blaming the public for finding it.

The wild conspiracy theories would disappear immediately if some authorities came out and said "yes, actually these X things are true, we apologies and will do Y in future. But these Z things are not true."

The most upvoted comments on this article is below. Looks like Europe did not receive any Tesla shipments in October so the November figures are inflated. At least that's my reading to his comment.

I appreciate you always, Fred, but this is like one of those 2016 articles on Cleantechnica, Electrek, or a low quality stock forum. They would get markets where Tesla has irregular imports from another country, and during the months they got a delivery, Tesla would be the “number one seller.”

In this case, the article points out Europe didn’t receive shipments in October. So November had its normal demand, plus it had all of the backlog deliveries from October. A normal automaker has much more steady deliveries. Nothing wrong with Tesla’s approach imo, but imagine if BMW stopped 3 series deliveries for a month and then resumed sales the following month plus delivered their backlog. The headline would be that BMW sales doubled! True, but not really…
These days the issue is mostly mobile clients, but even then offline support is unusual for sure.
Do they? Pretty much the only clear and obvious thing it seems Russia wants from this is for Ukraine to not be able to compete with Russia in selling petrochemicals.

Given that Russia's GDP is wholly dependent on petrochemical exports, regional competition (even with identical pricing) is bad (perhaps existentially so) for the future of the Russian economy.

I wish I could just stick with a language forever and thoroughly master it. What did Bruce Lee say about it? He didn’t fear the man that practiced 1000 different kicks. He feared the man that practiced the same kick 1000 times. Something like that. The industry fetishizes the constant stream of new languages and frameworks, primarily based on nothing more than the fear of “falling behind”. It’s dumb, and essays such as the “blub programmer” feeds into it.

It's more of the fact that all popular scientific libraries in python are written in an object-oriented way. That kind of forces you to write your own code in an OO way. I am guilty of this as I am writing a library myself. But users have to use, say numpy, along with my library. It would be suboptimal to force the user to constantly switch between functional and OO, so now my library is OO.

On the other hand, all the code I wrote in Mathematica during my PhD was functional, because it is just easier to write functional in Mathematica.
