I don't have experience of this "moving from ... stack to the heap", in C++. Correct code is the same wherever the objects live, whether stack, member, or heap. Changing it costs time and adds faults.

This proofing process is another example of what makes coding C more costly and buggy than coding C++. I did it for years, and miss it not at all.
This is a gross oversimplification.

Many things do not need any sort of boosting and you retain lifetime immunity or near-immunity.
That was for ethanol from corn. Most of the carbon in the corn plants doesn't turn into fuel in that system. Even if cellulose could be converted, a great deal would still be lost in CO2.

A land-efficient biomass fuel system would convert all the carbon in the biomass into fuel. This would require adding extra hydrogen, particularly if you want hydrocarbon fuels, since the oxygen in the biomass has to be carried off somehow. The hydrogen could be sourced from solar or wind by electrolysis.
On that same note, it's crazy to me how much energy and effort we spend on getting rid of what is potentially one of our most valuable resources: manure. Specifically humanure

In 18th century Japan for example, landlords often had rights to their tenants manure. "Night soil" became especially valuable as fertilizer prices grew. There have been fights over who is entitled to these biosolids. Even up into the 1980s much of Japan used special vacuum trucks to deliver night soil collections to treatment facilities

Contrast that with the West where we spend billions of dollars on sewage systems that often cause ecological harm

Not sure what you’re trying to say.

ALA is very unstable as oils go. It’s an omega-3 fatty acid. It’s generally regarded as healthy. The claim that unstable oils are somehow bad for you because they are unstable in your body seems entirely unsupported.

Certainly flaxseed oil is a terrible cooking oil unless you are trying to make furniture [0], but that’s a very different claim.

[0] You can also use flaxseed oil to produce a beautiful but mostly useless seasoning on cast iron. But the inside of your body is not made of hot iron, and the reactions that occur on a skillet don’t seem particularly relevant to what happens if you eat the oil.

I clicked "just code" on the landing page and it took me to a page where the left pane showed an empty (black) terminal and the right one a python shell. Looking at the developer tools I saw a message in reponse to my hello world input saying that I should type 1+2. But it was never displayed.

Then based on this hint, clicking around I managed to reveal the tutorial (showing up on the right). So it seems that there is a bug in the navigation or maybe the "just code" link on the landing points to the wrong place.

I started using poetry for my OSS projects and I'm happy with it, but I'd never use it for closed source projects. Poetry simplifies deps, config, pkg build etc as it's stored in a single place, but it's way to opinionated. For managing dependencies only, pip tools is easier to use and customize. There's no breaking changes, it's a finished product.

Also, I don't want my CI to fail randomly.

Look at the number of issues in poetry. Some things are not backwards compat, some are broken. If you want reliable, KISS with pip tools.

That's my opinion.
No, I never learned COBOL. I learn some programming from him when I was like 7 or 8, some language one would never have heard of called FOCAL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOCAL_(programming_language) which was ripped off from DEC by the soviets for their little BK-0010 https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/BK0010 and which I mostly used to play games loaded from tapes.

Hard disagree.

Life safer when dealing with things like SI unit types. I used to use lots of suffixes - _km, _m, _seconds, _hours, but I found that to be a lot more noisy (especially derived units and Nth order stuff like acceleration, seconds_per_second, etc) and evidently it would sneak in errors when you started doing calculations and passing them to functions.

Definitely want different types when I have these three representations flowing around in the program:

pressure_bits_t - raw data from the sensor, gets filtered/averaged in this form, then converted to one of these at various stages:

pressure_pascal_x10_t - integer pascal * 10 (i.e fixed point, one decimal)

pressure_millibar_t - floating point in millibar

As with most things in the US, it varies by state. For the past five years or so, it has been illegal in Georgia for a driver to use a phone or tablet that is not set in a mount attached to the vehicle. Other states have adopted similar laws but not every state has and the details vary between states that do have such laws.
Very cool!

I'm an indie developer, hacking on my Jukebox web and mobile app as we speak: https://www.getjukelab.com/

I'm a programmer so logos and other graphic design elements are not my forte. Currently I just Googled for "free jukebox icon" and landed on:

https://www.flaticon.com/free-icons/jukebox

I'm very tempted to try this out, the price is right for a solo dev, and your gallery of existing icons is compelling.

My only hesitation is there's no guarantee I'll like what you come up with.

With a graphic designer, I know I can give feedback until it's just right. And I can get additional assets like word marks, color pallets, to build out the brand. Of course I'd expect to pay way way more for a real designer and pay extra for every additional round of changes or new assets.

I do see in the FAQ you are willing to work with clients on this.

The "AI" angle is so interesting too. An interesting thought experiment is if I'd ever find and work with your services if you didn't play the AI angle.

Anyway, very cool, I've bookmarked it and will circle back later!
The pragmatic answer is something like: the marginal cost is ~$0 and the lost revenue is at most $5 so who cares? There's a disincentive to "steal" a logo too because they'll still be selling it: for $5, why not get the exclusive?

I would challenge the assertion that they’re so bad at computational photography, over processing notwithstanding. They’ve been at the forefront of computational photography for some time, and issues notwithstanding, the iPhone cameras do spit out some excellent results at times. I just want more control of that processing pipeline.

As for the overarching reasons for poor AI implementations in their other product lines, my pet theory is that Apple’s pace of progress is what you get when constrained by their stated privacy goals.

I have little doubt that they’d be at the top of this game if they leveraged user data the way Google/Meta do.
Maybe you should explain to Andreas how C++ was such a bad choice for SerenityOS. Or to authors of the various RTOSes coded in it.
You can probably also extrapolate this advice to most jobs that involve building or manufacturing something. The way you make it, the techniques you use, the practices you put into play... are all secondary to whether what you're building actually serves a purpose/fills a need.

And that's equally true of everything from programming to design to writing. The value of a newspaper article is often the story it tells, not the actual way it was written. Same with a video, film, tv show, design, or whatever else. Most people don't care how good your technique is or how elegantly the product was made, they care about whether it does something they care about.
Are they actually awful at it? Or just worse than Google? Is there a smaller company doing all these things better than Apple?
I think it depends on your starting point from a principles perspective.

Nerdy people on message boards will adopt extreme positions. The argument against meat is that animal fodder is inefficient and everything would be better if we just ate soy, peas and beans. The same argument would be made against your idea.

I think it’s dumb to grow crops to stretch the viability of ICE engines in cars. But growing crops to produce upstream value, whether that’s steak or food for my steak isn’t an issue for me, and probably isn’t a problem for 98% of people once they get over the “yuck, bugs”.

They can.

There's a massive difference though between self building for yourself, to live in, and building commercially for other, paying people to live in.

While both need to be at least compliant with minimum standards of some form, commercial builders must be held to a higher standard given the third parties they are putting at risk.

I don't think that is a very good explanation of conservative vs. liberal, at least in regard to economic policies. I'd say it's more a matter of conservatives focusing on the incentives created by policy, while the liberal focuses more on its intention. The conservative analyzes the incentives from the viewpoint of a self-interested individual, as we all are to varying degrees. One can be a proponent of liberal policy, another of conservative policy, but both be interested in helping the relative poor- they just disagree on the means to achieve similar goals.

That's not what MKBHD said in the video at all. He said that Apple has recently bumped the megapixels of their camera system, and that probably they haven't adjusted their post-processing pipeline to account for that. e.g. they need to tone it down a bit because now they actually do have more details/photons to work with.

It seems like the author of this article is trying to use MKBHD's cachet to help champion his own point ("I don't like this AI post-processing much at all") which I doubt is one Marques would agree with, given that the phone which won his blind test is one that does just as much (if not more) post-processing than the iPhone, the Pixel 6A.

Is there a good way to manage saved-but-not-exited vim windows so I don't open the same file twice? I keep running into a problem where I'm editing a dozen files, and then I try to re-open a file I already have opened. Vim gives me a warning about this but my choices are a) tab through all my open windows until I find the right one, or b) open a new editing window and hope that I didn't have unsaved changes in the first one.

Is there a way to have vim just go to the open window? Or is there a better way to manage my windows?

(I'm using MacVim if it makes a difference.)
This looks so bad because author mixes up "happy hacking" aka programming ("Programming is a craft" - Stallman) with industry-only experience. If you haven't had a joy of building things on your own, just for fun, the world looks boring (and even depressing), as it's described by the link.

However, the whole another universe uncovers if you remove "industry" concept that has been illegally attached to "software engineering" concept by Vadim.

In reality a lot of cool stuff has been built outside of corps, managers, offices, deadlines. The whole Internet works on Linux. Many successful games were built by folks who wasn't even once employed as software engineer. Some of them earned millions and billions.
Having just got over the hump of a pretty bad flu I picked up traveling over the holidays this can’t come soon enough. I got a flu shot earlier this year so I either picked up a different variant or shudder to think that this experience could have been even worse than it was (three days of 102+ fever).

It’s pretty disheartening to see so many comments here questioning the flu vaccine. So much anecdotal fallacy happening here. I would expect numeracy of this audience to be relatively high…

This whole thing I believe was a result of litigation with USGOV. Can the government entirely censor people acting onbehalf of a company from saying something? The answer was something like "It can prevent you from stating specific details but it cannot prevent you from making general statements on whether you have received a warrant or force speech by preventing you from taking down the canary" they even came up with a spefific granularity that you can state regarding the number of warrants you received.

But if I was the gov, I would go to your webhost or colo provider first, the gag order would prevent them from telling the subject like rsync.net and the search warrant would allow access to read and tamper with code and data. This is why GPG signing is great, private keys won't be on devices you don't physically control if you do it right. And also why you shouldn't trust native encryption of cloud providers like iCloud where ultimately you are not managing the private key directly.

I totally get that. The COVID vaccines were marketed as our hope for the end of the pandemic. But people with vaccines kept getting sick afterwards. There was definitely an overpromise and the messaging throughout the pandemic seemed completely "make it up as you go."

At the same time there was and still is hardcore political propaganda to divide us into "us" and "them" camps on topics like this. It makes everyone on both sides more easily controlled and manipulated. Being through with "us" puts you into the "them" camp and your decision is equally shaped by the other side of the same propaganda. Are you really looking out for "me" or serving someone else's agenda just the way they want you to?

One can decide to skip vaccines and still watch out for their neighbors, they aren't mutually exclusive.

Camus' book The Rebel is a fascinating read on the topic. This quote stuck with me over the years:

"Every revolutionary ends by becoming either an oppressor or a heretic. In the purely historical universe that they
have chosen, rebellion and revolution end in the same dilemma: either police rule or insanity."
I like the idea, but I noticed that some logos aren't centered properly within the frame. Makes them look awkward imo.
Yeah, I was thinking a linear graph with a scrollbar would emphasize the point a lot better, and then add a toggle for the log scale so you could actually see the data without scrolling. But then you'd need to explain why you're seeing so little and that you need to scroll.
