At the college I went to (low-mid tier state uni) the Art History degree was basically a degree in social justice and feminism. I had close friends in that program and some other humanities and was able to observe the curriculum. The stuff you expect to learn was a tiny fraction.

Hell, I audited the main American art course. We spent multiple weeks on indigenous textiles and pottery (not quite baskets I guess), multiple weeks on modernist and feminist painters. We didn't even touch american sculpture and spent less than a week on 'serious' painters. Saint gaudens, Sargent and the Boston painters, not even mentioned.

Iteration time is an important part of the developer experience. The trade off of slower iteration time for improved safety is a real point that needs to be considered when choosing between C++ or Rust. This isn't something silly like curly braces vs whitespace.
Note well, “Flight systems” and “avionics” are different things. Standards like DO-178 require all airborne software to be assigned a DAL (Design Assurance Level), i.e. simply being part of a “DO-178C certified system” doesn’t imply being safety critical.
Corps and lawyers are a hand in hand relationship. You need to have a lawyer you can trust whom knows your business before you need them. Certainly you're not the only one, but likely when other corps have a problem it starts with a legal letterhead.
One point to note is that they appear to be using (pseudo-)phoneme sequences as inputs instead of characters/text, so you need a frontend that does grapheme to phoneme (G2P) conversion. I found that interesting as many previous models (Tacotron 1/2, FastSpeech 1/2, FastPitch, ...) are more often than not trained on text directly (well, tokens from some tokenizer). This may be more relevant for English, though.

This is double counting, and not how you calculate net loss.

That’s pretty cool, glad to see good old internet services being sold in a neat package without hiding them down behind proprietary APIs and things like that.
Older GPL versions and most other OSS licenses, don't use the magic word "irrevocable".

> A Raspberry Pi 4B with 8GB of RAM will cost $75

Do you have a link to where I can buy a Raspberry Pi 4B (8GB) for under $150? The cheapest I can find through Amazon was $202.

I bought one before the pandemic (~2019) at Microcenter for, if I recall correctly, $90?

Seriously, if you know where to find one, please share!
Here's another lawyer's take on this situation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UgfQ8rydZ7D5LQXRJ6XDKa-_MRM...

This letter was sent to Wizards of the Coast yesterday, asking for clarification on the situation within 10 days.

The biggest effect from all of this that I can see is that everyone I know that's normally super enthusiastic about creating Dungeons & Dragons content (including myself!) is now deflated, not knowing what they should do about their upcoming projects (that they may have sunk thousands in already).
That was sort of the approach I had been planning on going for (manual scanning and putting it in directories that get cloud backed up). I have a pretty good scanner app on my phone, and so just scanning after opening the mail for some important document or invoice, uploading to the document storage, and then shredding seemed to be pretty low fanfare.

Yes. They both have the same initial configuration, and DHCP hands out both IPs.

They both in turn talk to the two bind servers for recursive resolving.

> I don't really like these comparisons looking at these languages through the lens of commonality. The only thing the two have in common is that they're systems languages.
>
> [...] In my opinion, anyone who argued about which language is better than which other language has completely missed the point of computer science and programming.

When I start a new programming project, I need to choose a language. For this project, three years ago, I had three serious choices:

* C
* C++
* Rust

I rejected C because I wanted the productivity boost from C++ or Rust. I rejected Rust because Rust was new to me (thus risky) but I was very familiar with C++.

I don't see why it's a bad idea to compare languages—especially along specific dimensions, like run-time perf or build time or safety—when that's what us software engineers do whenever we start a new project.
> Of course Rust is slower than C++. C++ has had decades of maturity and has enjoyed many contributors to its tooling. Rust has not, and its feature set (as in, the things the compiler needs to do) is much broader than any C++ compiler is specified to do.

My thinking was the opposite. Because Rust is newer, it doesn't have the bloaty baggage that C++ and its compilers have. And Rust's module system is (in theory) far better for build times than C++'s #include-based module system.

But instead of speculating, I put the time in to figure out the answer.
> We're in an odd situation: Javascript is one of the only languages that has us write in one language (Typescript) to then have it transpiled to another one (Javascript)

It's also the only language that has a superset language owned by a large corporation with direct influence on standards revolving the ecosystem within which the language is used.

A large corporation that has a history of trying to overtake open communities for monetary or altruistic gain.

And a company that seems not to care about the community's needs or wants and instead manages the priorities of the "OSS" project entirely itself.
That's mysterious to me. 5th edition has a number of distinctly un D&D-ish features as I see it, as one who - like the fictional Stranger Things kids - played D&D in the late 80s.

I don't think it's actually Stranger Things driving 5th ed popularity, though. If it was, surely they'd go for something more retro. I think it's the big tabletop RPG streamers.
The thing with a domain registration is that you know if you pay for ten years in advance, you WILL have it for ten years. With most SaaS, you have absolutely no guarantee this is going to be the case.
How are they not illegal to sell to drivers? I am continually astonished about the social experiment being done on drivers buying these cars and others who have no choice but to share the road with them.
> I don’t think the Rust code could be shorter than the C++ code when converting pretty much line by line, since that leads to C++-style Rust code.

I thought the opposite: header files (and CMakeLists.txt, which was included in the subtotal SLOC) artificially increase C++ SLOC.

> For example idiomatic Rust code can do with less defensive programming due to language features.

Can you show an example in the Rust code where this might be possible? https://github.com/quick-lint/cpp-vs-rust/tree/master/rust
Yes, but evil old school bank likely would not process 'card not present' transactions at all.

I created a repo for deployments alone, where I have directories for my different app fly.toml files and a script that deploys/updates them all.

Fly is great in a lot of ways, magic even, but there are blind spots and you have to learn new methods of keeping everything "in sync".
I have always wanted to do the home lab server thingy. I started long back with a few computers[1] in the attic of my first Office. I graduated to a simple wooden rack[2] with routers, storage, and cables. Recently, at the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, I got a durable 24U server rack[3] for a throw-away price from a friend as he had to shutter his Startup. I even asked myself, "Does it come in Black?" I spent about 30-min or so a day for a few weeks just spray-painting it black.

I had all the plans and started tinkering - a few old Laptops as servers, Pi-Hole, and a 2012 MacMini to serve media to the family members, etc. Unfortunately, this is a very addictive hobby and may rival or even more than photography. I have stopped playing with any additional (wrong focus for now) experiments. A few of my friends have seen and knew about my hobby, so I have been on the receiving end (free) of older laptops and quite a bunch of Raspberry Pis[4]. Btw, many companies seem to be gifting Raspberry Pis to their team members to encourage to tinker or something in that line!

So far, only some basic operations work. Internet Load Balancer + Bonding, Backup of photos (since 2001), replication of a local copy of Dropbox, a simple media storage, syncthing replicating copies my development environment and files.

Yes, one-day, that one-day will come when I can just keep playing with these. I even had the led strip (now removed and back to my defaults) light up when I was in the zone. :-)

HTTP/3 is just a way to have multiple reliable connections with less latency in establishing them than with TCP.

What you can use instead is simply TCP.

TCP is simple, mature, has all kinds of support in software and hardware.

The only advantage of HTTP/3 doesn't matter to most use cases and doesn't warrant its complexity and throwing away all the networking ecosystem built on TCP.
This is pure speculation, but I suspect egregious use of proc macros in Rust also inflate compilation times a bit. Just speaking anecdotally, but removing proc macros in one of my hobby projects decreased clean build by about ten seconds. Definitely not a couple magnitudes like the author saw, but not unnoticeable either.

Nope, most western European countries have extensive labor laws & social safety net and still struggles to find tradesmen. More often than not, they have to rely on immigration (portugal, poland, turkey, african nations, etc.)

I haven't watched Stranger Things but I see where you are coming from. I tend to prefer OSR games these days myself and I think 5e is pretty bad.

But these people don't know anything about TTRPGs in general, they use Google and the SEO directs them into the sales funnel of 5e.

EDIT: The other big channel in is watching Critical Role streams. And if that is your only reference with their particular ads it will draw you into the current, and large, ecosystem of 5e.
Thermodynamically correct but CO2 making our atmosphere scatter solar radiation internally and increasing total absorption is a much larger effect.

I try to imagine it like a fog: all kinds of radiation makes it through to the ground but then the heat from that radiation cannot simply radiate into space, because the sky is all dense fog and scatters in the infrared. We're effectively making a more diffuse lamp out of Earth.

Of course, if your solar array projected area as seen from the sun is approaching the Earth's own projected area, then you're overdoing it again.
I believe the IC's in the US on visas are very concerned about the risk of being fired and suddenly needing to find a new visa in a matter of weeks while most hiring cycles take months.

I don't think I've seen anyone else worry about performance reviews. I assume this is why the US visa system is structured like this.

I don't speak legalese, but does the absence of a termination clause mean it cannot be terminated, or does the presence of a non-terminable clause mean it cannot be terminated?

The problem is that Stadia controllers use wireless in the sense of WIFI, not bluetooth. This means that in order to make them work not only is the RE work even harder, but you'd probably have to create a completely new driver since I'm unaware of any other device that can input commands from the internet; whereas with bluetooth we already have extensive tools to deal with it
Sure, nothing is certain related to legal matters. I was looking into this some more and there are apparently even arguments that even the GPLv3 is actually revokeable as long as all the copies were given away for free. Of course, others argue that even the BSD or MIT license are irrevocable.

There is little case law about software re-licensing at least, so yeah, it's hard to say.
I am curious, then what does "perpetual" mean in licensing law?

Providers found out it was easier to block private senders instead of developing good filtering mechanisms. I kind of understand this decision, but spammers simply abuse services like Sendgrid or create spam accounts on MS.

So… nothing really changed in regards of spam. We just lose actually *wanted* mails or have to look into the Junk folders more often, all while newsletters get on the priority lane.

That makes me unsure about developing anything in this regard. :(

> Why on earth are you blaming the wife for something this guy did and is wholly responsible for?

Blaming the wife is a bit much, but the divorce was an optional consequence. It's a lengthy, difficult, and expensive process. If they had put the kids' development first, they would have figured out a way to keep them in a two parent household.

Now that their father is not easily accessible, guess who has to overcome the emotional baggage while learning life lessons without guidance.

We have enough data to know the differences between adults who had their father and those who didn't. The optional divorce essentially slashed their potential in half.

The whole point of using Twilio to send an SMS is because you wanted the SMS to actually be sent, which means you are going to have to pay for the SMS, and SMS is always stupidly expensive.
