I disagree. You make two claims: familiarity, and beginner friendliness.

For the first, I think it's a mistake to perpetuate the mistakes of the past. I don't think JS developers have had problems adjusting to the lack of return in arrow functions.

Beginners have no preconceived notions of how a programming language should operate, and return makes the language model more complex.

1 + 1 evaluates to 2, but (in a language that requires return)

def foo = 1 + 1

foo

doesn't for no good reason. This breaks the simple substitution model of evaluation.

These claims could be addressed emperically, but I guess neither of us are going to do the research. :-)

This will be huge rant but as someone who worked right next to one of these in San Francisco I didn’t use it because it was obnoxiously annoying.

Speaking as someone technically inclined who writes code for a living, I don’t want to have to scan a QR code or use an App to go through some weird robot gate to buy a thing from the automated store. And that’s (me), not the average Joe Blow who can’t even figure out how to open the calculator app on his phone.

It was a terrible idea from the start and 10x more convenient to walk into a corner market, grab a drink and hand the cashier a few $1’s from my wallet. All this super advanced technology and it has zero real world benefit or time savings for normal human beings.
That part is understandable. Perfecting your craft requires many hours of hard work and dedication, and you can never know everything.

For me, I work on a lot of open-source as side projects, so there's always the coding "something" factor.
They also recently opened cashierless Whole Food locations that use the same technology. I would not be surprised if some of these Gp stores were never intended to stay open but rather existed as a concept and to test ideas.
It's highly likely. Much likelier than the idea that having anti-discrimination so broadly enforced that a mere IQ test is illegal would not cause corporations to take steps to reduce legal risks.

But you are correct, my evidence is circumstantial, and if you really want to disbelieve such basic inference, you can. I'm sure you apply this degree of skepticism evenly.
> This is simply incorrect. If it is possible to, in any safe code, invoke the invariants that can cause the undefined behavior then your code is unsound. UnSafe code _cannot_ rely on safe code invoking it correctly. ALL invariants must be covered at the boundary between safe and unsafe code, anything else is a soundness bug in the code.

That's roughly what I'm saying? The point is that you have to carefully design your interface so that safe code from the outside is unable to break your invariants, no matter how it invokes your interface.

> This is again completely incorrect. If it is possible to invoke unsound behavior from safe code then the code is fundamentally unsound. This is the problem that the Actix developer kept trying to justify that got him in a lot of hot water with the community. Please never write code this way. If you have any public repositories please mention them so bugs can be filed against them.

If you have a public safe function that can cause UB, then it is indeed unsound. But it is possible to have a private safe function that can only possibly be accessed from a small part of your code base. If you are careful in preserving this invariant within the parts of the code that can directly access the function, then creating a sound interface without direct access to the function is entirely possible. (But this obviously gets more risky, the more code that has access to the function. I'll grant that it's not an uncommon pitfall to assume a crate-wide invariant somewhere that you later forget about.)
Dan Abramov replied to those as well. Personally, the purity of the React model with bringing in only local rather than global state in every function is what appeals to me. Even hooks are still local state, if you change the value in useState, you're not going to suddenly have something change elsewhere, where it wasn't explicit where you changed it.

I don’t think you realize how anti-scientific an attitude you’re expressing here.

If there is “evidence for the social contagion model”, this kind of analysis would be a natural step in developing hypotheses about where and how to look for it. And if there’s none to be found, those hypotheses will eventually fail to hold. That’s the method.

If you choose not to collect data or test hypotheses because you think a question is “most definitely” settled, then you’re not practicing science.

You may be saving wasted effort or managing some kind of socio-political dynamic, which may be more important to you, but some people appreciate science specifically for its ability to upend “most definite” knowledge now and then.
There is always a way to manipulate it. In this case, one would seek to downplay their own cohort.
Mental and physical health are always priority number one. Do whatever you feel is required to get your health back. Try asking for a sabbatical if possible because job searching again is a nuisance in itself, and you will also have to worry about health insurance if you are unemployed.

That said, a year-long break doesn't matter at all in the long run. You should travel around and have fun. There is this quote, "in youth, we often lack money, in middle age we lack time, and in old age, we lack energy." Your circumstances are quite favorable as you have all three of them. So have fun man and come back stronger.(that is if you ever want to come back)
That problem can't be solvable in any context. There's no way to rule out the possibility that someone else in the world knows your mathematical secret.

That's the point, it is not possible. The premise is based on a paradox and you can't throwaway containment and have alignment that remains defined by original intent.

This is a point I've made. We are playing with paradoxes that proponents tend to ignore. They won't be solvable. The more sophisticated AI becomes, the more non-deterministic behavior arises. The emergent deception has been very interesting.

Amazon gives you very few choices on how to return items, oftentimes just 1 (and it'll be something bad like UPS pickup or Kohl's dropoff). They would need to change this too. The problem really is with the overall experience.
In my case car is 25 minutes, subway is 20 minutes, bike is 15 minutes.
In theory, maybe, but in practice nobody (in particular, no serious, non-hobby farmers) cares about it other than activists who hate Monsanto. Outside of activist groups and NGOs, this is simply a non-issue.

Lateral velocity should be taken into account since I'm taking the vector of the x/y velocity. It's just that it needs to be under 12mph, so you can be going pretty fast laterally.

> To follow your recommendation would require defining Rust as a memory-safer language, not as the language of memory safety.

I'm actually suggesting changes in explanation only, hoping to make these terms less confusing for beginners. Rust veterans know that "safe" code just means "code not in an unsafe block", beginners are often confused by the more common meaning of the word.
Do you know of (or used) any guide to get started? I'm reasonably proficient but struggle to put all the moving pieces together

The problem.
I've seen this play out in a non-US country. My friend with wealthier parents got his loans paid because his parents didn't earn an 'income' and thus the state interpreted them as being poor. In reality they were fairly well off business owners who had a good accountant who channeled the cash flows through the lowest taxed entities.
Not sure about Canada, but in the US all convenience stores I've been to (except Amazon) sell a very narrow subset of goods found in a supermarket: mostly shitfood, cigarettes, booze and lottery tickets, maybe a small shelf with emergency supplies or a brown-looking banana. This attracts the type of crowd that enjoys consuming these goods.

Amazon, as I agree with the parent, was neither here nor there, not as well stocked as the CVS, and too weird/too hip for a 7-11.
That is amazing. Not accurate at all really, unless the moon was an infinite plane I guess. If you hit escape velocity you'll never land!

If there are “externalities” brought upon the state due to separations, ie strain on public services (crime, welfare programs, school, healthcare, etc) doesn’t the state have an incentive to do so?

Sounds like the problem is that it wasn’t a healthy fear.
Elon's bold strategy of "not paying any of his bills" doesn't seem like a great way to keep a service up and running, but then again neither does firing any engineer who doesn't agree to be on call 24/7/365 to address Elon's little temper tantrums.
I don't understand what you guys are working on if ChatGPT can do your jobs...
Your argument is that every single company with a DEI program is doing so out of concern for a legal threat so amorphous that we can't come up with a single instance of it happening --- or, for that matter, even circumstantial evidence, such as a correlation between the deployment of DEI programs and the number of discrimination lawsuits. By implication, you are also arguing that all the companies running these programs don't believe the things they're saying, but rather have been coerced into saying them. These are extraordinary claims, for which you have offered no evidence.

IQ tests, for what it's worth, are not in fact illegal in employment situations. I can name large software companies that were using them as recently as a few years ago. Of course, they're a cringeworthy affectation and a strong signal of a shop you'd never want to work in, but being off-putting isn't illegal, as over 10 years of my own activity on Hacker News should amply establish.

For my part: I am not a fan of institutional DEI programs. But I'm even less a fan of the rhetorical frame that suggests that literally everything and everybody involved in them is operating in bad faith.

Imagine you spent an obscene amount of time learning to be proeficient on the intricacies of android development (specifically its permission model) just for the OEM to break your fully android compliant app behavior... and then they give their own apps unfair disavantadges bypassing android permissions, it's outrageous.

If google really cares for their developers, they need to step up as soon as possible, and enforce compliant behavior from these OEMs.

I'm having second thoughts on going further learning android development if things keep like this...

Your argument that it is actually impossible is not convincing, I think my example of a pitfall trap in 4 is sufficient to demonstrate that. More precisely, if we grant that any AGI no matter how intelligent and agent-y is still subject to physics and logic, it doesn't seem to be an actually impossible problem, just very hard, and maybe not solvable before time runs out. If we don't grant physics and logic, very well, but Fermi considerations raise a puzzle about why we're even here to ask the question.

Similarly I'm not convinced that the scope is broad enough that it really cannot be reasoned about at all, either in its entirety or by breaking it up into smaller components (as we do for large problems already). I think you'd have to give some sort of impossibility proof on what about the problem is possible to reason about and what is not possible to reason about to convince me. (Note: chaos theory won't necessarily help you here, because probabilistic reasoning exists as well as do() operations by us, and if it must be used the argument must explain why certain catastrophic errors cannot be modeled and driven to arbitrarily low values.)

They've employed a "Amazon is the first and best customer" for most of the services they've launched. Amazon.com / AWS is an example.
They track how much you've shoplifted over time and once it hits felony level amounts, then they charge you. From the below articles:

> "[If] you take a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff, they're gonna be like 'Bye gorgeous. You have a great day.'"

> However, the self-identified ex-employee said that there is a catch - if the shoplifting becomes a pattern, Target allegedly takes action, as they track stolen items.

> Hannah claimed that the company waits "until you're thousands and thousands of dollars in debt" to "put you behind bars."

> This would generally make the stealing a felony-level charge.

It runs counter to variance rules for method signatures; see pron's sibling comment and my reply to that. I'm not exactly sure what he's alluding to in terms of an actual solution, but he is an insider, so there may be hope for Java programmers :).

Anyway, the key point is that any implementation of a method will (almost by definition) need to be able to throw more types of errors than the writer of the original interface anticipated. That is the fundamental problem and unless you get rid of overriding there's no solution for that. The only solution is to force everything into a single super-type... but that just leads to "throws Exception" and we've been there before.

(I mean, there's approximations to solutions as in OCaml's polymorphic variants, row types, intersection types, etc. .. but those only work when variance isn't involved... or do away with most of the touted benefits of the "checked" part of checked exceptions, so...)
I didn't mean to suggest the bond is useless, just that breaking it won't cause problems unless there is a fault.
Just holding an invalid reference is UB, even if you don't do anything with it (the example still works as the reference gets invalidated by safe code).
Yes, this is a great example of a pillar of functional programming, pure functions. What is concerning is that your code example, like other pure function examples out there, implements a math operation a first grader can perform.

It's exceedingly difficult to find a pure functional example that operates on tangible domain-specific data of objects full of state.
Same question but without the DSM-5 diagnosis? I do recognize that work cultures differ and that people after a few years internalize the work culture. Some firms have massively worse performance on absence, sickness and probably all other kinds of metrics related to well being. So my prior would be one of “totally true”. But keeping an open mind. The same set of observations could fit other explanations like that extraverts with people skills switch jobs more often and that there is clustering of likewise individuals on certain negative traits.

Ok, so the design improvements made sounds more synced, but imho that doesn't solve the problem (it might even make it worse? Not sure...). The combing effect is there because the sources of the sound and the "anti-sound" are not in the same position. Lower latency helps that the signals are perfectly cancelled in some predefined direction, but you still get twice the sound amplitudes at a different angle (towards the head).

No doubt school is far more about social signaling than intelligence. For someone like you without the personality trait of conscientiousness (at the time of doing homework), you would have been better served by finding an employer who only cared about an iq test.

Health is important but be careful, economically the 'no landing' scenario that is unwinding right now is super dangerous for job seekers in your sabbatical timeframe. If you're seriously considering it, have an emergency plan for moving to a LCOL place.
