> My tech stack is almost definitely irrelevant; Python, JS, Rust, Haskell, etc...

FWIW, at least in larger studios, there are lots of tasks that involve scripting, you can find people that use Python and JS and other languages every day.

Here are just a few examples I’ve seen (I was a lead game dev in a ~200 person studio for a decade):

- NPC, boss fight, level, and gameplay scripting.

- Automated gameplay testing & perf analysis, setting up playthrough and frame rate monitoring.

- Asset builds, converting file formats, compressing and packing data into bundles. (I had a large Python project on one game, for example, to convert audio into lip sync animation.)

- Code generation for shaders.

If you look around, you might be able to find roles that are pretty easy to transition into given your current skills.
No, traits are not inheritance, nor is derive that is default implementation of some traits.

Traits are like interfaces in OOP languages (simplified), the equivalent of a class would be a struct + all the impls of that struct. And that thing cannot be extends, a struct is fixed when defined and nobody can extend it, you can use composition that is the correct to me way to go.
That's what happens when you are so bad at predicting a thing that any noise overwhelms your signal.

People sending stuff they brought back and buying something else exist, and also people buying for their friends. But if you had an actually good prediction of their behavior, you wouldn't need to proxy it by "brought a vacuum recently".

Yet, companies insist that failure is a feature, and that their local maximum is the best possible world. And will keep harming advertisers, viewers and society to keep their position at that peak.

What I'm not convinced of is that complexity is actually a necessity.

For example, what's the real difference between operating a fire department in a town on the Faroes, vs a town in the Mid-west? It seems like a fairly cookie-cutter operation where requiring more of them in total does not add complexity to each operation.

Possibly even the opposite, where the scale of the US turns into a net benefit, so you can support your own industries building and providing tenders/appliances - where the Faroes are (I assume) more likely to ship one from Germany.

So I'm not clear why taxation within a single state has to be more complex than taxation within a small nation. I'm not going to deny that it probably is, and probably will be, but I'm less comfortable with the assumption that it must be.
The problem still persists with electric drums which is the kick drum pedal essentially banging on the floor. The neighbours cant hear the drum sound but hear the vibrations travelling through the floor/walls.
In short, its strength is ideas and inspiration, not facts and "truth".

I think it's safe to say we all have friends and colleagues that are the same. Some match well for creativity, others would do well on Jeopardy.
That really depends on the case in question and on the particulars of the codebase.

I wouldn't recommend mocking http libraries, database calls etc. - that usually leads to madness and impenetrable test setups. I would rather recommend to either use fake implementations (e.g. in-memory DB) or to only integration-test the boundaries of your interaction with the external system (that might or might not be hard to achieve).

But I do like the pattern of wrapping calls to external APIs through a layer that I control - so that, for example, I may just write mailer.sendMessage(message) - and then that mailer interface seems like a good candidate for mocking.
Something that everyone can practice has to have a few simple rules that everyone can follow. That doesn't make it an ideology. It is a complex set of intervowen systems that are carried in no small part at the state level, communicated by language which is in fact a very complex system. That's an ideology insofar as the word may be related to idioma, as it were.
Note that interest rates on USDT went down now and now it costs around only 3 % APR to short it. I've been short for a year now and will be fairly rich if Tether burns to the ground.
That is true- this is a good callout. You’re brain does a lot to convince you of the difference when you know the source of what you’re hearing.

But there are always exceptions. As someone that worked as a recording engineer for 7 years, and spent time intentionally training my ears with blind tests, I can tell you that there is a definite aural difference between a real tube guitar amp and a modeling amp. Other recording engineers I assisted could hear it too.
100x is a mighty big number.

I'll take you at 1:1 odds that the salary of even the highest paid 10% of art directors in the United States, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, does not see even a 10 times increase in their salary over 5 years (that is to say, in 2027.m01.08, the BLS reports below 10*$194,130). Loser gives the winner one Snickers bar.

Bragging isn't a cultural standard around the world.

Many cultures are very adverse against any kind of such boasting and cultivate modesty. UK is one of those countries where bragging is widely considered vulgar. Happens, but it's not considered or taken as the norm or polite.

I think this article actually perfectly sums English bragging: it's polite and short, hidden between describing the due diligence that went behind reporting the bug and the numbers of other bugs they have reported and helped fix in time combined with a semi patronizing (but absolutely true and sharable) link to how to report bugs well.

If you went further east to Asia, to cultures where any kind of boasting or bragging is seen very negatively, not just vulgar, you would've found even less of it.

This is a question for an immigration attorney.

I am not one, but my first advice is to stop broadcasting an intent "to remain in the US" because I have heard that using a visa that does not allow remaining when the intent is to remain is grounds for deportation and entry denial...but again, I am not an attorney.

Good luck.
With all respect, this strikes me as a really terrible analogy on multiple levels.

First and foremost, it seems extremely problematic to argue that a female-assigned individual who deeply believes they were supposed to be born without breasts is experiencing a mental state that resembles anything like suicide. Regardless of any legitimate concerns about gender surgery, this analogy immediately breaks down.

Treatments and behaviors surrounding mental illness are usually framed in terms of how adaptive they are, i.e. walking off a bridge leads to death, therefore not adaptive (ever). Having a mastectomy, if it allows someone to live a happier more fulfilling life: potentially adaptive.

Many people still believe that being gay is a mental illness, and that this is an affliction that must be “cured”. Many people still argue that the LGBTQ+ community is essentially leading hordes of people off of bridges by the thousands.

I’m not accusing you of holding this view, but I bring it up here because in the minds of many, both issues lie somewhere on the same slippery slope, and at its foundation, the analogy assumes that these people are deeply ill, and the only cure is to change one’s brain.

As our understanding of consciousness grows and we learn more about the links between our physical bodies and mental states, many avenues of mental health treatment increasingly acknowledge the role of the whole body in this picture.

To your point, this doesn’t make the topic an easy one, and I have plenty of concerns about people making decisions without the proper education and counseling. But it seems that many people project their own inability to comprehend such changes onto those who are not locked into the same world view, and the result starts to look a lot like the rampant homophobia of recent decades past: understandable given the trajectory of culture up to that point, but extremely problematic.

As medical technology advances, such surgeries may become less and less risky. In a hypothetical future, if someone could “try out” the body parts of the gender they identify with without that being a permanent decision, would that change your assessment of these surgeries and their potential utility?
I think the authors' (flawed) bulwark to this would be that their notion of "agency" requires a system with a well defined boundary -- in other words essential entropy cannot come from outside the system. Section 3 spends a lot of words on this concept of agency and closure.

> The most central distinction to be made here is that the selection of a specific behavior is not purely reactive, not entirely determined by environmental conditions, but (at least partially) originates from and depends on the internal organization of the system making the selection.... [Agency] requires organizational closure .... Organisms, as autonomous agents, are Kantian wholes, i. e., organized beings with the property that the parts exist for and by means of the whole.

What's funny is that I can't imagine how a serious modern biologist signed off on any claims of closure for biological systems. Our own behavior arises out of a mess of genetics, epigenetics, symbiotic relationships, and other external feedback loops which intermingle the "agency" of many self-preserving and self-replicating systems, from transposons hijacking our genetic strands to gut biomes regulating our hormonal balances.

The history of biology is essentially one of humans drawing labels around supposed units, and nature making a mockery of those boundaries upon further research. Like other efforts before, this particular definition of closed agency is more a projection of our own psychology than an observation of the natural world.

Porting to RISC-V would make sense.

> Well it's/twas terrible language so no wonder you have no trust

The reason someone who was shaped by working in PHP might not trust long-running processes probably has less to do with any specific shortcomings of it as a language and more to do with the fact that overwhelming execution model is single-request shared-nothing.

This conceptual model works well enough (especially for the web) there's entire cloud services built around recreating it for other languages called "serverless," and they do well because it's a useful simplification which means the issues associated with persistent processes become somebody else's problem.

Devs being what we are, of course there's always those of us who prefer certain things to remain our problem. This is fortunate as someone needs to assume problems like long-running processes in order for others to make it somebody else's problem. Software development has some things in common with comparative advantage.
Atmega328P?
That's fine? The parent comment was just expressing their indifference towards the stat, same as me. I frankly don't care about how many MAUs Mastodon has - the platform's success is not driven by widespread adoption. The nice part, for me, is that the platform feels fresh again. Even if 90% of the Twitter refugees left, the remaining 10% would help freshen up the userbase and keep things diverse.
I don't look at them for one reason, to me the great thing of PHP is the fact that is super easy and fast to add some dynamic generation to a mostly static website. By using a framework I can as well go to Next.js, for example.

The thing is that PHP is unbeatable for doing simple stuff, for example a simple contact form in a website, or a page where you have to book slots, and similar stuff like that, since you add a few PHP instruction to the site, upload it to a webserver, enable PHP that is super easy to install, and done. Need to do a modification? You can connect through SSH to the server and edit the PHP files in /var/www with vim, no need to compile, have a build system, restart services, nothing like that!
Kinda-critical point: The article is about volunteer units drawn from ethnic groups with (by their lights) long and bitter histories of being treated horribly by Russia.

Even if zero of them ever violate orders / rules of engagement / laws of war / etc. in their behavior toward Russians - having them around is still politically tricky for Ukraine. Kiev doesn't want to hand Moscow any easy propaganda-war victories.
Most modern home router/firewall/WiFi combo units (e.g. from tplink, netgear, Linksys,Asus,etc) already have that feature built into their firmware. Fiddle around and look for something like Parental Controls or Wireless Schedule and hopefully you find it.

If not, (and you're feeling adventurous) I strongly encourage everyone to see if their router supports alternate firmware, like OpenWRT or ddWRT, and use that instead. It will open up a whole new world of access control for you (including WiFi scheduling). Good luck!

What this post does more than anything (and I think that is the goal) is illustrates that for all the crypto bluster, it’s currently a terrible financial system that has all sorts of massive risks that are not just hypothetical but have already been realized.
Why are you posting this drivel? The links show a much more nuanced discussion than what you are trying to imply.

The French demanded to end the discrimination against gay men as by law gay sex was prohibited until the age of 21, but the age of consent for straight sex was 18. Nothing to do with pedophilia. Oh and that happened in 1977 - almost 50 years ago.

You are obsessed with the left vs the right culture war. It’s not healthy.
Asciidoc, TexMacs, LyX, reStructuredText, Markdown (admittedly, only ish).

None of them have become the standard. But some of the ones above - though excluding Markdown - are a complete replacement.

Actually, even Markdown stands a chance if supplemented with enough HTML and CSS. HTML and CSS have practically replaced most non-maths uses of Latex.

Not sure what you consider "work"? Assuming you work in tech and your work involves sitting behind the computer, do something that takes your hands off the keyboard. Something that gets your body moving. Work a different part of the brain. Some recent examples (of mine):

1. DEFY Trampoline Park with my 3 year-old daughter (both of us have a blast)
2. Learning how to play guitar
3. Hang out with friends who don't work in Tech
I've never understood the need for 2d schematic editor when a ordered list of filters would suffice. Do you like to move pixels around that much?
1 - Not the same situation. No one stole already-done work from the people who used to "compute" to create the computers themselves, or its output.

2 - You're twisting my argument. I don't care if artists are employed or not, or that some jobs are transitioned out from the economy. I care that people who put in work get the value proportional to that work. You should, too.

When you use one of these AIs that have been fed millions of images in order to train them and generate an effective output, you are necessarily consuming the images themselves, without which the AI wouldn't do anything. In that process, the artists - whose copyrighted work is, again, fundamental to the development of the tool - have been paid nada, they have not even consented to the use of their images in the training process. How does that track?

This would be a very different conversations if these AIs only used public domain art, of which there's plenty. But then again, it wouldn't be much profitable, would it?

Instincts in animals (including humans) are deterministic insofar as they determine the behavior of the animal. A bird may choose one stick or another but it can't choose not to build a nest. A human can. This may be unique to humans. Heidegger refers to this as world-openness, meaning our world is not closed by our instincts. Unlike most animals, humans don't possess enough instincts to survive in nature. We are "insufficiently-determined". Hence, to survive, we augment our nature with our culture, which acts as a second nature within which we can act unthinkingly (as animals do). Without this second nature we shall surely die (hence the furious culture wars). Not incidentally, this is one of the anthropological arguments against state of nature political theories: there's no such thing and never has been in the history of the species.

Animals may be more or less undetermined but a bee will make honey and an ant will gather food regardless of any individual instance of bee or ant intelligence.

The problem with the above objection is that there is no account of "meaning" in what an AGI does. In other words, it's still a computer. To say that the entropy of the system will determine the entity's indeterminism is akin to arguments saying Schrodinger's cat is evidence for the possibility of human free will. It's a category error. Unless you want to argue that humans are also computers (which is the position of many strict materialists) then there is still a huge gap to account for in terms of meaning that can't be defined away satisfyingly. We all know what it's like to be an intelligence. At best, people say we can't know if an AGI also knows that because we can't inspect their "minds". This argument is justified by recourse to the principle of the multiple instantiability of intelligence. If we admit that non-carbon-based life forms could be intelligent (e.g., extraterrestrials) then we may admit that intelligence could be in silica as well. Without the ability to introspect other minds, we assume they are like ours and not simply "zombies". The above arguments (reducible to "Well, how do you KNOW anyone else has a mind?") are based in a kind of skeptical solipsism. The part about intelligence being demarcated by non-determinism and the way that argument fails is a side-step of the hard problem of consciousness.
Can't see the link between the two statements.

I live in NYC, "greatest city in the world," and I encounter rats almost daily. Almost every apartment here will have a cockroach problem at some point. And since most of the city is a food desert, it takes pretty serious determination to eat a balanced diet, and usually at quite a cost.

So, notwithstanding all the negative points mentioned in this thread, I agree there are still many aspects of medieval peasant life that I wish we would aim for in today's world. There are even quite a few so-called modern "conveniences" that I would happily give up for them. I wish the things around me in my life were made of stone and wood and clay and durable textiles, rather than synthetic, disposable materials, shoddily assembled for a quick buck.

I think, just as you claim this false medieval story was told to industrial society, there is absolutely a concerted effort today to paint our current world as so much rosier than it is in comparison to other past living conditions. The idea in Better Angels of Our Nature and other such revisionist and cherry picked arguments seem like they could only be made to keep us pacified.
