The anti-car crowd has in the US has that new convert zeal. If you poke them enough, a lot will say that no one anywhere should be allowed to own a car. Not that are cities aren't horribly car centric though, but I don't think we should empty out the countryside to get rid of cars.
I think we have such different understandings on how economics work we couldn’t have a intelligent conversation about this. Maybe that’s why this topic generates so much heat in some and confusion in others.
I think that parent is *intentionally* has framed their comment as a women vs. men problem to make it sound more dramatic, conveniently disregarding the large amount of issues women have in asserting their reproductive rights. I don't just disagree with OP, I am suspicious of the fact that they omit from their reasoning a very glaring and obvious point of view. Does that clarify for you if I'm using the word right or not?

And apologies for being snippy but I believe my comments in this thread are reasonably well written, and despite the fact that English is not my first language which might lead me to miss some subtle nuances, I made myself perfectly understandable and clarified _why_ I said what I said. It's fine if you don't agree with me, but framing the issue in terms of what other commenters say and, projecting their fallacies onto my words will not lead to a good discussion.
The term "conspiracy theory" is a psyop to auto-discredit anything labeled as one.
GPT powered app that analyzes your tweets and generates unique biography of you

Sadly cold climate areas struggle with making this a reality. Boston has a big network of these bikes and ridership is huge in the warmer months, but drops off a cliff when it gets cold and icy. I know areas in Europe achieve this, but Copenhagen is warmer and less snowy than Boston.
I think I understand this opinion, but I'm not sure this is actually possible. I don't think political neutrality really exists. The closest thing that exists is status quo and mainstream / widespread opinions / beliefs.

On any subject that's not the main mission of the org, people will have any sort of opinions, on one side or another. Sometimes biased towards one of the sides depending on the mission or the actual people it attracts.

(sometimes on the main mission too actually, but in this case the org is in trouble / needs to adapt the mission - it can be an existential crisis)

And if for some idea, the mainstream / status quo outside the org is biased toward one side, this bias might also affect the org because the org lives in this world.

Let's take an (imperfect?) example: about veganism/vegetarianism/non-vegetarianism, what is the neutral stance? If the org needs to organize a dinner, some side will need to be taken. Allowing everything to accommodate the preferences of every person is not neutral. That's the status quo however, usually. You can only have "presence of animal-based food" or "absence of animal-based food". Nothing in between. You need to pick a side, take a non neutral-decision.

In the case of Brendan being rejected, people were going to be pissed either way. If he stayed, it would have pissed people who thought Brendan was not desirable as a CEO of an organization like Mozilla which is supposed to be inclusive because of his anti same-sex wedding actions. Because he left, it pissed people who thought his personal opinions should not matter. And both sides have a point, which is the hardest part.
Now imagine the government having the power to do that on every vacant property. Not just state-owned: all private-owned but vacant properties could be forcefully rented.
B2B startups stop innovating the day you give power to product managers
Ironically, all this does is decrease equity. Public schools may dumb down classes in this way, but private schools are unlikely to follow. For a smart kid, being from a wealthy family already confers a significant advantage, and this just makes matters worse.
Continuing on your final point, comparing the consequences businesses should face for breaking regulations with the consequences that criminals should receive, how would you feel about applying the analogy on the other side?

Specifically, would you actually prefer to see people as individuals whose only goal is maximizing their personal interests, all else be damned? Should they exploit every interpersonal relationship and externalise every negativity in their selfish-driven mandate? Should short-term personal wants trump long term anything?

If yes, I don't like the society that would result, but I respect the consistency in the idea. And if not, why should individuals be subject to more stringent moral rules than companies?
You might also be discounting a generational change.

ZenPencils' illustrated version of this quote: https://www.zenpencils.com/comic/90-ira-glass-advice-for-beg...
> The performance difference between a Rust server and other languages are incredible, especially in terms of RAM usage and concurrent connections per second.

Really depends on what "other languages" are here. If you're comparing against Python then sure, but if you're comparing against Go then the difference isn't that incredible.

> That said, if your program is going to need tons of entities stored in a database, I wouldn't even consider a language or framework without a solid ORM.

This is actually what I used Rust for recently and honestly the ORM situation is pretty good. The language itself is just too rigid for this kind of work for too little payoff.

> If your startup doesn't know what it's building, you have bigger problems than the language you choose.

That's true at a high-level, but iterating on small features/changes fast is what makes or breaks most startups.
I have both community and professional editions installed (trial expired), and would always open via spotlight or the dock shortcut... not sure what's going on with the parent comment's application.
You are correct that those two movements are not completely contradictory. First, it must not be assumed that everyone who is pro-choice will always chose abortion. Second, neither the pro-choice nor anti-abortion movements seem to have a large scale plan for the care of children born from unwanted pregnancies. So there are areas that are not contradictory.
> It almost always make sense to handle an error locally if you can

This is highly presumptuous. I have written many programs that did not need to handle errors locally, and so exception handlers were only at the very top level (or, actually, just below the top-level usually - but the point is that there were generally few and I had flexibility to decide where to put them). Perhaps you and I write very different applications. But the fact remains that the "almost always" in your statement doesn't hold.

Alternatively line of reasoning: if this was always true then there would be little point to Rust's ? as it would be so rarely used.

Prostitution is closely tied with drug and human trafficking, even if it is “legal and taxable” kind, and most people here know that. It is definitely not socially acceptable because of that and the historical stigma.

Because some people, like me, find driving to be blissful and elating, and I will never not take the opportunity to do it.
We can blame big tech (or economic elites more generally) for prioritising their financial gain (hence what they can claim from the rest of society) over e.g., ther sustainability and welfare of the very same society on which they lay these claims.

We can blame captured politicians for listening to powerful yet minority interests over the interests of the very people who appointed them to these roles.

We can blame citizens for making politics (literally) somebody else's business by either abstaining or re-electing people who are unfit for office. We can also blame (some of) them for eagerly contracting with said "big tech" and thus enabling it to have that oversized influence on society in the first place.

We can blame soft culture, formal educational systems and journalism for not educating, informing and enabling citizens to play the role that they need to play if the system is to function as it is supposed to.

There is plenty of blame to pass around. But there are also some people who cared enough to track and surface this [0],[1] and many other people in other walks of life that care enough to raise a voice, take a stance, or otherwise inconvenience themselves when facing similar malignancy elsewhere. Its a state of mind and it can be flipped.

Akamai was probably the first really significant tech company to populate Kendall. Lotus was up in Fresh Pond. Infocom was on Wheeler Street as I recall. As you, there were a number of AI Lab and other MIT spinoffs in the general MIT area. But, to my original point, the vast majority of computer industry employment was out in the suburbs.
> The incentives are therefore essentially the same. Money talks.

Are you implying the NYT never publishing anything that upsets their readership? Every week #CancelNYT trends because they "platformed" something their left wing audience didn't like.

Even Fox News lost viewers because they dared declare the 2020 election free and fair, and in favor of Biden.
Taibbi admitted he was wrong on Ukraine because there's no other way to spin it, he was out of options. He's still giving his new and largely right wing audience what it wants:

I did the vue2 - vue3 upgrade, while I see what you're saying and actually agree, I have no idea why you had change your build tool from webpack to Vite. I'm still on webpack, for better or worse.
This is definitely something that benefits from a UI. I can always `lsof` and `fzf` my way to it, but this helps. Thanks.
Fascinating, looking forward to reading this later today! Have used a handful of languages over the years, and I don’t have any academic perspective in different error handling techniques, but there’s no doubt that the way swift does it feels particularly natural, safe, but still gets out of your way. I love all the options for handling errors in a meaningful way.
There's no shortage of parking in Boston, the market price of $40/day or $400 a month is just unaffordable for most college students. The ones driving exotic sports cars sure don't have any problem finding parking in the city.

As you point out, when you can find all of life's necessities within a reasonable walking distance, the need to own a car is significantly diminished. That's the goal that "anti-car" activists are pushing for.
Reading the comment, it seems like they are getting a bunch of other stuff covered, so the insurance company is still making a profit even if they are constantly getting reimbursed for stolen bikes?

The whole point is that I don’t want it to pause boot to show me a menu unless the system is broken. Boot should not need to be interactive by default. But every uefi laptop and desktop device I have ever used has a key you can press during boot to bring up a boot menu.
I suspect that it would be possible to somehow implement hot-updates with native, if you're willing to use some container as your "runtime". I haven't investigated this seriously, though, so I may be wrong.

1. Exceptions as commonly implemented in C++ have high overhead in the exception path. But that's just an implementation strategy. There is no reason why it wouldn't be possible to generate exactly the same code as for an optional type if desired (and in fact it was proposed for c++ cf. Herbceptions).

2. So do returns, but we have long settled that SESE is undesirable.

No, we live in a mild climate so the cost of ERV outweighs the benefit for us. I researched it, but balked at the high price of the unit, and the idea of adding lots of ducting in the attic.

Instead went with separate AC Infinity (grow-room) fans each pulling air through a filter. Works ok. Still iterating tbh.

This all predates the war. Another factor for us was wildfire smoke
To me, the language agnostic answer to reducing tech debt is having a good test suite so refactoring is easier. We're pretty good on that front.

We have definitely done large refactors before, and I'm sure we'll have more in the future, but I don't think we need a major rewrite or anything like that.

> There's far right parties with quite a strong base in pretty much every European country

This is more a function of more proportional representation systems than anything else. Both the US and UK have first past the post, and in both of those countries both the more extreme left and right politicians are part of the major parties, whereas this happens less in more PR based systems.
Just because a law isn't enforced doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Top executives at companies have a legal obligation to carry out shareholder wishes to the best of their ability. It really is that simple.
Yeah, I'm not a lawyer and even I knew you can't do that shit. Not straight-up punitive fines like that. You don't even need to have any familiarity with contract law to figure this out—those provisions would be everywhere if they had any chance in hell of holding up. They're not, so, they must not hold up. QED.

Pulling snapshots helps, particularly with slowdowns over time. Pulling deps is a problem that deserves its own initiatives.

For me the controlling factor with build time and to a lesser extent production performance is to divorce visibility from vigilance. You can’t watch things 24/7 waiting to pounce on any little size or time regressions. You need to be able to audit periodically and narrow the problem to a commit or at least an hour in a day when the problem happened. Otherwise nobody will be bothered to look and it’s just a tragedy of the commons.

Graphs work well. Build time, test count, slow test count, artifact sizes, and so on.

Docker on Debian 11 bare metal with gitlab-ci installed the "blessed" way (by adding gitlabs apt repos).

No optimisation to the baseOS other than mounting the /var/lib/docker on a RAID0 array with noatime on the volume and CPU mitigations disabled on the host

Compilation is mostly go binaries (with the normal stuff like go vet/go test).

Rarely it will do other things like commit-lint (javascript) or KICS/SNYK scanning.

I don't think this is the right description.

DAWs (digital audio workstations) edit by using metadata. Suppose you have an audio file that is 2 minutes long. You start using it in the application. The application notes "we have 2 minutes of audio, taken from the start of this file". Now if you "delete" the last minute of the file, nothing is done to the file, but the "metadata" inside the DAW now says "we have 1 minute of audio, taken from the start of this file".

If you then copy 20 seconds from the middle of that section, the DAW refers to this with metadata essentially saying "20 seconds of audio starting 20 seconds into this file".

Nothing is ever done to change the contents of the actual file.

ps. I write a DAW for a living.
This is all very sensible criticism but a bit generic.

Sometimes detail accuracy doesn't matter but the presence does.

I think a bicameral system with a House of Representatives (with a much larger body, with the number of constituents per representative fixed) and the a other body (we could even still call it the Senate for continuity and familiarity) being selected by sortition the way you describe would work well, and be a good transition step

In these articles I never see reference to the 'objective algorithm' aka what the business processes at TikTok are optimizing for. I think that's the real secret sauce.

TikTok is optimizing for user generated content that connects deeply with their users. Thats what they reward money which is largely derived from TikTok's "gift economy", and recommendations and therefore views are largely based on the gifts. This is in stark contrast with something like YouTube, which is optimizing for 'time spent on YouTube' which drives their creators to make longer clickbait type videos, regardless of how dissatisfying they are.

The recommendation algorithm described here could be tuned to serve any 'objective algorithm', like time spent, profit to Bytedance, or whatever- but because of TikTok's choices it is making a really fun an enjoyable experience for users.
This reminds me of the time Limewire was sued, and the recording industry claimed damages of up to $75 trillion from copyright infringement. Now that's a deterrent!
The short answer is "do as little as possible". What this means in practice is breaking down every step of CI, figuring out the dependencies for that step, and then ordering the graph of dependencies such that you start as much as possible as early as possible. This process also usually shows you where things are slow and what the critical path is.

Unfortunately, doing this in most CI services is actually quite difficult. It usually means a complex graph of execution, complex cache usage, and being careful to not re-generate artifacts you don't need to.

In my experience, building this, at a level of reliability necessary for a team of more than a few devs, is hard. Jenkins can do it reliably, but doing it fast is hard because the caching primitives are poor. Circle and Gitlab can do it quickly, but the execution dependency primitives aren't great and the caches can be unreliable. Circle also has _terrible_ network speeds, so doing too much caching slows down builds. GitHub Actions is pretty good for all of this, but it's still a ton of work.

The best answer is to use a build system or CI system that is modelled in a better way. Things like Bazel essentially manage this graph for you in a very smart way, but they only really work when you have a CI system designed to run Bazel jobs, and there aren't many of these that I've seen. It's a huge paradigm shift, and requires quite a lot of dev work to make happen.

Hello GitHub. I'm willing to pay for a service that deploys a demo instance of the repo. You can craft a nice little button named "Demo" and when I click it, you'd send me back an URL and credentials to the app itself. Last, but not least, please share a cut of the deployment fee with the repo core maintainers. Thanks
This is what I’m working on next week. The majority of time is spent building the first n numbers of our Dockerfiles (which aren’t cached in our test/deploy pipeline).

I’ll be baking some images with dependencies included, so the only stuff in the updated Dockerfile will be pulling the pre baked images from our registry and commands to build and run our app code.
it's a 30-90s 'setup' for a compile that usually lasts about 10-30s.

The setup time is fairly constant even for very quick jobs.

For longer jobs where it takes less of a percentage of the total time it's not a bother, like when we run integration tests for a few minutes.
