Why should commenters be constrained to only comment on the stated objective of the hoodie, and not all of its pros and cons?

> If you have tested positive for switcheroo fever, you should start your comment by stating out loud that you understand this is the objective and you understand that it does indeed achieve the objective before proceeding elaborate on your own personal variation of the switcheroo.

I don't think this is necessary. If someone doesn't make any mention of whether or not it succeeds at preventing facial recognition, then they are simply not offering an opinion on the matter. Not mentioning it, or bringing up a different concern, should not be taken as disagreement. In fact, I would interpret silence on the matter as a sort of implicit agreement.

> And perhaps, if you dare, proceed to challenge mode, where you acknowledge that this might be a trade-off that was consciously chosen, and does not come as a surprise to the people who designed the product.

So commenters here are obligated to acknowledge a bunch of considerations about the designer's objective and state of mind when creating the hoodie, but the designer is not obligated to point out these trade-offs in their product listing? Isn't this a double standard?

> and livestock production, with “meat being rare and risky to eat”.

Ironic since keeping factory farming livestock alive and "healthy" is via an excessive use of antibiotics. As far as I know, more ABX are used for livestock than for humans.

But we collectively don't want to pay more for animal protein, nor do we want eat less of it. This will be yet another healthcare crisis that could have been prevented or at least mitigated but we refuse to do so.
When you “punish” a nation, you are primarily punishing its most vulnerable people. Who then hate you and turn to their leaders for protection.

Meanwhile and especially in China, the leadership has to save face and look like they’re doing something, so at minimum they will retaliate in kind.

The larger issue too is that the west seeing themselves in a superior position where they can punish a nation as big as China like it was an unruly child is the attitude of someone whose understanding of international politics is 40 years out of date. It ain’t like that anymore.

That's the point though. If you want to focus your engineering time on optimization and code quality, then of course you can scale to SO's size with 9 servers and a simple architecture.

If you're still growing and more interested in delivering tons of features quickly, and/or don't have the ability to attract world leading talent, then a more complicated architecture with clear boundaries is often a better call than delivering relatively few features with obsessive rigor in a monolithic codebase.

> This is why "cancel culture" is only "getting old" if you're in a privileged class that isn't affected by the bigotry.

Sorry, but that’s not a very constructive or honest way to discuss the topic.

While rooted in positive intent by a diverse community, there’s obviously a strong vein of white savior complex behind “cancel culture” and people outside of “privileged class” can in fact hold a variety of opinions on the topic themselves. It’s not universally beloved, even by the people it’s intended to serve. Is there a way to advocate for it while acknowledging the right of everyone to have their own experience and opinion of it?

I wonder how much of it is business strategy and how much of it is just how the economy has been moving over the past several years. Between every other car on the road where I live being a tesla and housing almost doubling in price, maybe companies are raising prices because a lot of people have that kind of money?

And it makes sense, interest rates have been 0...tech company valuations are absurd, with insane tech salaries and RSUs...the stock market reaching all-time high in 2020. People gambling money on crypto, NFTs, wallstreebets, etc. It feels like the economy has been in turbo mode and it reached a peak where people had so much money that they were willing to put it into beanie babies and tulips because they had nothing else to do with it.

Businesses are going to keep raising prices until their numbers start to go down. Despite the inflation we've been seeing, people are still spending money [1].

I think it's easy to blame business strategy, but I think it's worth looking at other economic factors that are causing business strategy...like the decade of free money due to the never-ending QE policy of the fed.

Eventually we'll run out of other people's money and we'll enter a recession. Or we'll just enter into a period of extreme class divide where the middle class doesn't exist anymore...there's either extremely wealthy or poverty.

Did you read the article? MSVC compiles twice as fast as clang and has double the perf in debug builds.

LLVM has an amazing optimizer but the compiler is just so much slower even on unoptimized builds.
As far as I can tell, Priority #1 is backwards compatibility. For example, std::regex can be slower than launching PHP and running the regex there¹, but that won't be fixed because it would require an ABI break. I'm not sure how that happened, as neither the poor performance nor the unwillingness to change ABI were unknown. Performance seems to not have been the top priority in the design of std::unordered_map either, which requires reference stability and therefore boxing. This got added in 2011, 18 years after the birth of the stl.

Any successor to C++ will necessarily need to be built around safety from day one. Carbon did not do that - it merely hopes to put safety in at a later stage. So no, I don’t think Carbon will replace C++.

I will be very surprised if a C++ successor will be a new language. I think it will be a frontend to C++ that cleans up the syntax, has much stricter rules around UB, and can rely on C++ as its unsafe counterpart. C++ itself will never be safe - it can’t be while maintaining backwards compatibility, and even modern features (ranges, coroutines) provide a wide range of new lifetime nightmares.

A new frontend could solve a lot of that, while allowing unsafe “trust me bro” code to be written in C++.

There’s the “enable new features in a file with pragmas” idea, too, which could be promising. But I’m not convinced.

>Yes it is a fact for most people when you run the numbers all inclusive (not just car payments but insurance, gas, tolls, tickets, repairs, parking, oil changes, etc) they just don't pencil out.

Can you define what "pencil out" exactly means? I searched around and it looks like the TCO for a car ranges around $1000-$1100/month if you're buying used. At average US hourly earnings[3] of $33.03/hour, that works out to a break-even of 31.8 hours/month. If you're single and don't do anything other than commute to work (30 min each way), I agree that this doesn't "pencil out", but as soon as you have kids or a partner (twice the amount of errands to run!), it easily becomes worth it.

The frontend is arguably the one part of selfhosting that is solved. Most people can use web interfaces. Everything else, not so much. Stray even an inch off the technical happy path and it's rabbit holes and foot guns as far as the eye can see.

This is simply false, modern C++ just replaces old issues with new ones. There are numerous new unsafe footguns that "modern" C++ introduced with lambda captures, coroutine lifetimes, and libraries like std::range where lifetimes and ownership are incredibly difficult to reason about. Not to mention that the web is full of blog posts about how to properly use std::string_view, since a lot of crashes trace back to improper use of it, particularly its constructor that kind of acts like it takes ownership but doesn't.

English is French! (lingua franca) The reason for that is because English is considered relatively easy to communicate with as a second language.

English has quite happily built upon its roots and is able to grab "foreign" words and take them on board, without fear, favour or rancour. Why not? Modern English takes advantage of a vast vocabulary, much of which is not natively derived or generated but is still cherished.

Anglish with it's purity notions should be considered degenerative and racist in my view.
If you buy a painting advertised as a Monet, you are similarly not harmed if it wasn’t actually painted by Monet. But people like to know what they’re buying.

>Related to that, it's interesting how many European languages have heavily borrowed from French in the last 2-3 centuries, especially what I would call "technical" terms.

And in other areas, like the arts (from painting and photography to film and the novel), legal, and political terms. That's because France in those past 2-3 centuries was a huge power in Europe and globally, along with the UK).

For France, this ended with WWI and was a done deal with WWII but there was still some momentum up to the 70s.

So it was kind of like countries today copy US terms, fashion, politics, music, etc.

This also explains how the otherwise undefined "LEA reg, reg" works --- I believe on 186+ it's a #UD, but on the 8086 it just puts the result of the last address calculation into the destination, itself having not done any itself (whereas in the valid case, it always would.)

It's just a macro around mapc

;; the exprs evaluate to lists, and the vars step over them

(mapc-loop (expr1 expr2 ...) (var1 var2 ...) body)

We want this translation:

(mapc (lambda (var1 var2 ...) body) expr1 expr2 ...)

If we leave all matters of error checking to the generated code, it's just:

(defmacro mapc-loop (exprs vars &rest body)
`(mapc (lambda ,vars ,@body) ,@exprs))

It boggles the mind what that passes for a blog-worthy invention in some backwaters.

Yeah. We've been gradually building it into the workflow, doing tutorials, allocating some R&D time on it.

I think it's like calculators in exams; at some point, you just accept it and make the questions harder. If you're asking questions that can be solved by ChatGPT or Google, they're probably not a good filter.

We're also reevaluating the role of the programmer at work. We're moving past the era of code monkeys who memorize search algorithms and design patterns. We're entering the phase where you give a dev the context of what the product is trying to do and the devs think of the solution that involves the drawbacks/limitations/effort of implementing this solution. Code is simply communicating with a machine, and AI is similar to a higher level language.

As much as people want to claim that you don't need to use the GC with D, in reality D is a garbage collected language and you do need to use a GC if you want to use D.

As soon as you disable the GC in D, you end up with a really awkward to use language, no closures, no exceptions, no dynamic arrays, I think you can't even use the common string in D without the GC.

People arguing that D can be used without a GC are just trying to sell you on something.
Like most symptoms mediated by the autonomic nervous system, POTS is extremely easy for a health-anxious person to develop without any etiological cause.

Some of us are very practiced in the art of these symptoms and quickly saw familiar patterns emerge in our friends and neighbors during the wave of isolation and anxiety that washed over everyone in the pandemic.

It doesn’t mean that there aren’t real long-standing health consequences to Covid or the pandemic response, but it does make it reeeeaaaallly hard to discern the signal from the noise.

Health anxiety is a real PITA, for individuals who face it, for the health care providers tasked to help them, and for the individuals with critical problems now lost to the noise.
