One kind of intriguing thing when it comes to the near obsessive degree at which "the younger generation" (it's really mostly just a really loud subsection) is linking "buying merchandise" to "having a personality/showing you are a good person" is that they've basically managed to start calling for a recreation of the Hays Code.

For anyone who didn't know, the Hays Code is the reason why so many old Hollywood movies had these overly stiff, Dudley Do-Good vision of the world. It was a moral code that was written to be as inoffensive as possible to the lowest common denominator. You couldn't depict something morally wrong without there being some kind of punishment for the wrongdoer, that sorta thing. Sounds not bad on paper, until you remember that this was written in 1920 and sensibilities of the time meant that things like gay people would have to be punished for being gay, or that you couldn't put a black person in the same sort of starring role a white person would get, because that could upset people who'd never seen a black dude before. It got scrapped in the 1960s (due to the European movie scene having no such restrictions and they wound up basically crushing Hollywoods output for 6 years straight) but was softly derided by movie makers in the decade before that.

Up until very recently, an informal version of the Hays Code still existed for syndicated childrens entertainment (if you ever wondered why villains in 90s saturday morning cartoons often ended up being more interesting than the heroes this is why; writers had less limitations writing them compared to the heroes who had to always be morally righteous and upstanding as long as they did a token punishment for the bad behavior at the end. Skeletor and He-Man are probably the archetypical example of that), but that kinda just fizzled out around the turn of the 2000s.

The problem with the modern situation comes in when you grapple with the fact that both people and stories are these complex things with lots of different emotions and that nobody is going to be a perfect human. Yet this younger generation wants to have this "perfect" vision in their media because they paid for it. They've been taught "you financially support something you morally agree with", and if something as a result does something they disagree with, it's easier to demand the work to be changed (or vilified) rather than think critically about why they're upset and think about what the author wants them to think about such things.

It's how you get things like "villainous character does morally reprehensible thing, clearly the author must support doing this morally reprehensible thing" being brought up as arguments.

I don't think it's something to be too concerned about (teenagers believe so much stupid shit, reality will flush most of it out with time), but it's definitely concerning to see this stuff morph into a second call for the Hays Code.
There's nothing bizarre here: there are enough people in those democracies, who believe regulating this is either not a good idea or not high enough priority

> But at that point you aren't really doing C# so much

I wouldn't really agree on this point.

Unsafe blocks have been a feature since C# 1.0 They may not be the default way of writing C#, but they've always been a natural and integral part of C# and have extensive use internally to ensure that interop can work and extra performance is available where possible.

SIMD acceleration has likewise been a part of the BCL (standard library) for nearly 10 years now and is just as integrated behind the scenes. It being part of the formal BCL makes it even more "standard" than the equivalent in C/C++ where such functionality is relegated to compiler specific headers/extensions.

SIMD code itself is also very idiomatic C#. There is nothing really different about utilizing the APIs, the only difference is in how you think about handling your data. Needing to think differently about how data is handled for some contexts is applicable to many domains in C# (and programming in general). It's no different than making code work with async or multi-threading ;)

Simply put, all these features are still C# and I don't think its necessarily good to say that using them means you're not really writing C# anymore. I view it as a disservice to the language, its extensibility, and power. It also leaves a connotation that you might be better off writing C/C++ instead, which is often not the case.
Just trash the 43w while idle monstrosity and put Plex on your Raspberry Pi 4. Use an external drive and it will power on and off automatically. I see absolutely no need for the second, much more inefficient server.

See Meadow and Nano Framework for embedded,

Plus many "embedded" scenarios have an OS capable of running regular .NET as well.

The problem of .NET versus other alternatives like Java (as an example), is the 2001 - 2014 legacy of being mostly Windows focused, which hinders the choice of libraries and tooling versus those alternatives.

For example, coming back to the embedded scenario, .NET has nothing comparable to PTC, Aicas or the endless variants of JVMs shipping on copiers, electricity meeters, M2M gateways and such.

This resonates with me, and is what I always try to drum into less experienced engineers when we're pairing. You'd be surprised how often someone who doesn't know programming that well will sit down and code for a whole hour before checking if any of it works. I'm checking every line to see if it works before moving on!

Yes, we'd like Stripe to be available to as broad a set of users as possible. Restrictions on businesses ought to be malleable and we need to have the capacity to adapt as the world around us changes.

We also work with our partners to relax or remove unnecessary restrictions where we can. Being overly restrictive towards legitimate businesses flies in the face of growing the GDP of the internet—it's a precondition for us to operate. A small component of that is being reactive: seeing where we make mistakes and noticing where our processes need to be adapted. (As we saw today with essay mills!)

> cash enables certain crimes

Vs

> handing full control over our ability to spend money is handed over to the government

Seems like the second one enables the crime of disenfranchisement, except that no one will be able to label it a crime and no one will ever be punished because it's the government doing it.

See the recent example of the Canadian government cutting off protesters bank access without trial. Whatever you think of the protests, that's a terrible thing for a government to be able to do.

Every action is reward driven and sel-interested.

The suffering stems from the reward being external. If the reward is in the self or from the action itself, then there is less suffering.

Yes, and yes.

Specifically, I would prefer if all energy types were regulated according to the same principles when it came to risk/harm tolerance, emission rates, etc.

If a coal plant is allowed to emit X Bq/GWh, every other plant types should have the same limit.

Or even better, if you add all polutants together, one should calculate total expected harm (in terms of X * deaths/GWh + Y * disease/GWh + Z * Global Warming contribution, or something) and either set a ceiling on total harm, or add a tax on each power plant based on total expected harm caused.

This wouldn't necessarily mean that the regulations would be written using fewer words, but it would/should lead to an optimal balance between cost of energy and the harm caused.

The current system seems to lead to both harm and price levels that are much higher than they need to be.
To me this reeks of Western Digital style dishonesty[1][2]. I was wondering how long it would take for the new parent company to rub off on SanDisk and I guess I have my answer. My suggestion is to stay the hell away from anything Western Digital (and now SanDisk) if accurate specs are important to your use case.

> you don't even have strict order of evaluation

You do, with `seq`. And a lot of Haskell programming in practice is deciding between lazy vs strict programming.

The only lazy feature commonly used by Rust programmers are iterators, but they are just lazy lists (that are immediately discarded after being forced)

That's exactly how old paint worked. Ctrl-a for select all and place things so that the top & left is where you want it and then you can grab the handle to do the bottom & right. Always done it that way.

Sadly looks like win 10 does hit EOL before I retire so I've got one more generation to deal with before I slip away to linux and mac.
They were fairly simple, using simple maths or technical indicators, or simple pandas calculations depending on the system. They all generally were based on the momentum behaviour of markets.

The hard part is the backtesting and design of strategies talking into account the science and art of it. And the absolute truth that past performance does not dictate future results.

I haven't tried non-crypto, I think I will just leave that to simple investments in tracker funds or etfs.
Toyotas DO break less. But their designs are stodgy, very slowly updated, and generally draw premium prices. So customers keep flashier makes in business.

There was a fiber cut last year near Chicago. It was near a railroad so a bunch of authorizations were required and it took about three days to complete the work. My parents live in a rural area that has fiber but didn't have internet because the local ISP didn't have any redundancy.

We switched from microwave antenna which has its own issues to fiber and my dad is thinking, "Well, you said this would be better." You can blame the local ISP, but am I wrong to think that it's hard for a rural ISP providing fiber to afford redundancy?

What a weird and inconsequential thing to take offense by. Nothing in the term 'cleaning up' insinuates that it will be fine or that its not a big deal. What you really should be angry over is the spill, not that after-the-fact communication.
The point is that there should be less parking, not more, and there should never be subsidized parking.

I don't think they'll "invade", a word that's mostly used here in the west, mostly in the US, China doesn't seems to want a war, Taiwan even less, its population rejected the pro-US government [1]

Vinyl chloride decays into 14-CO2 at 99 parts per 100 within 100 days.

Economists would surely love the anonymised spending data, were it to be made available. Though it would have to be heavily aggregated to avoid any individuals being identifiable by their spending times and locations. Retailers would presumably save by not having to pay fees to Visa, MasterCard, Stripe, etc. For consumers, I assume that at first it will be used by early adopters just for the novelty value. Maybe eventually there will be some small monetary incentive to use it instead of visa. Conspiracy theorists will say that they're going to ban cash and force people to use it. Conspiracy theorists are wrong.
Follow your heart.

It really does know more than the rest of you. It takes courage to do it though...not surprising....root word for courage is heart.

> In the case of Southeast Asia, just getting used to the water is far more easily achieved than fixing it everywhere due to the high cost of a good water system. Some people get ill but life always carries risk. And for foreigners there's always bottled water. In our case we make a different tradeoff.

'Southeast Asia' doesn't make a trade-off because they analyzed the data and came to the conclusion that their population is better off with half-filtered water, they do it because they are poor and have bad infrastructure. Would you like their water supply so you can get your immune system trained? While at it maybe start eating unrefrigerated food. My friend from Africa did that growing up and has an iron stomach -- it sure does work (too bad about all the kids who died though because they got unlucky).

The problem isn't 'it doesn't work', the problem is 'you can't just get rid of the awful bad ones and leave the kinda bad ones. Either you do it or you don't.
