The "revenge" is people complaining online. I would be curious if there's an increase in proportion of people complaining, or if it's just that more of peoples complaints are part of the searchable internet?

I also question the claims of it hurting business: the worst rated businesses are tv, automative, and travel companies all of which have been considered awful since I was a kid, and all of which are businesses where you don't actually have any real choice over who you use.
My intuition says periods don’t have that “sharp” feeling when they’re followed by another sentence, only when they’re the last sentence on the line
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... JVMs leaking memory on Ericsson and Motorola dumbphones... I watched devs work without debuggers or console. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... time to retire.
> What did you mean by the word “okay” if you didn’t mean to imply that the author had any opinion on that process?

> I’ve now asked you in multiple ways what you meant by that phrasing!

You might want to use far fewer words, then, if you want to know the meaning of a word. Using paragraphs to ask that question has a very high noise to signal ratio.

okay [1]
also OK also O.K. also ok
Word forms: okays, okaying, okayed
1. ADJECTIVE
If you say that something is okay, you find it satisfactory or acceptable.

OK [2]
exclamation (also okay)
OK exclamation (AGREEING)
used to show that you agree with something or agree to do something:

> 1. What was your purpose in bringing up your example of a well-loved ceo when nobody else had? What were you trying to illustrate?

> 2. If you weren’t commenting on somebody’s perceived moral statement, did you share the goose and gander quote as a completely unrelated fun fact for everyone to enjoy?

Those are for the exact same reason. The first shows a parallel to what the GP posted but in an unexpected context, which is mentined to show the unintended consequences when using the bully pulpit of a union in a context that it shouldn't be used. The actual article mentioned that even the union organizer in the story denounced this. The second showed the long-held societal wisdom on this, that when one pushes their beliefs using a questionable method in one context, that same method will be applied by others to additional areas in unexpected ways. There was a link that contained an explanation for that.

As I wrote, "By the same logic as what they wrote in their comment, the bully pulpit can be used to push different beliefs."

> Was it some sort of fun little moral lesson unrelated to the rest of the content of your post, like the text on a popsicle stick or Snapple cap?

And, it is now clear that you are intentionally not engaging in honest conversation.

Why not go for C++17 already? C++14 seems pretty arbitrary, AFAIK C++17 is already supported by GCC, clang and MSVC fully [0]. It's also now the default dialect in a few compilers including GCC. Meanwhile C++20 isn't really well supported at all in the moment [1] so it makes sense waiting more for it, even though features such as Concepts and Modules should simplify library code a lot and make some tasks much more trivial.

I like how the author describes their thought process for how they made their best guess when they couldn't find a definitive answer, without simply assuming something or (worse) stating something as "fact" without evidence.

>That people are angry is not about the damn numbers. It's about the attitude of a political class [...]

You say it's "not about the damn numbers", but what does that mean? Does the underlying problem with the numbers not exist? Would the french pension system be fine without such reforms? If not, and reforms are needed, why are is stuff boiling over now? Sure, all the things you listed are legitimate grievances, but it seems counterproductive to get mad at politicians doing painful stuff that needs to be done. It's like getting in a fight with your spouse about how they're "controlling" or whatever, when your house is on fire and you need to evacuate. The only sensible interpretation I can think of is that the people think the reforms are not warranted or there's a better reform that's not being considered, and that's the straw that broke the camel's back and caused people to come out and protest. If that's the case, I wouldn't exactly frame that as "not about the damn numbers".
I think you're right about that, but it feels like there's a different approach you could take if you were willing to not be a billion dollar company. If you wanted to run a small printer manufacturer, with a hundred people or so, you could design a printer once, sell it for enough to cover most of the cost of manufacturing (but not the loss leader pricing of an HP), then sell the ink for cost plus whatever percentage makes you profitable.

If the main cost is design, then limit the design. Don't come out with a new model every year. Don't have a dozen products. Sell a color laser printer with USB-C and wifi, that's it. Have a black and white SKU if needed. What other major innovations in printer technology do we need?
The flip side is that exposure to software vulnerabilities is lengthened if people stay on older versions. So, you’ll be less vulnerable to intentional bugs in the software, but more vulnerable to unintentional bugs - and the latter are far more likely in practice.

Granted, the former can be quite a bit more severe - but that’s why we should do things like build on dedicated servers with restricted access to the internet etc.

Now I want to try this by placing the three cuts (chords) symmetrically so that they form a neat equilateral triangle at the center.

I wonder if it is possible to make just the right cut so all pieces are "equal" (in area)?

Is there a mathematical tool to make experiments like this graphically / visually? I define three cuts as lines that are offset by "x" from the center of the circle and as I vary the value of x from zero to r, the areas of each cut piece should be computed and plotted.
I work on Dagster but I'm not the author.

Dagster is OSS and most folks do local development on their laptop which is quite fast. The speedups in this post are for production deployments (i.e. landing a commit in your master branch) and for branch deployments (the deployments that run on every pull request).

I liked Elon more when he was "disrupting" things like space travel, Mars colonization, human modifications, self-driving cars, all the stuff of sci-fi. Not saying he's the genius behind it all, but at least he was a hype man who could get things going.

Taking over a social network that already exists and seemingly bumbling around with it isn't moving the human experience further. It's distracting and pulling energy away from being the face of a lot of trailblazing stuff. I'm tired of headlines about him and Twitter.

Get back to all the shit you look at like "damn, that's being worked on too? Interesting!"

Trying to make a social network profitable and "free speech" (what a joke) isn't interesting. It's boring.

Even if this was true, I would like to point out that a good part of this debates is about the accuracy of the input data used for the math. With disputed input data math is never simple just ask any data analyst around.

Edit: Also this math involve predictions about demographics evolution over the next decades in a global warming and war in europe context. Both can result in unpredictable populations movements. This is never simple ask any demographer around.

Edit2: What is complicated about politics especially in french strong state tradition is that laws reform are precisely meant to alter the input data of your model, often with unforeseen side effects, so it's not simple math ask any historian around.

This especially worst in France because it's a known and widely discussed issue that the government is indirectly doctoring some key statistics like unemployment data. Changing the metric while you are rolling out a reform is at this point a patented french strategy to prevent any citizen to evaluate a new policy.
Exactly!

People point out RedHat provide newer compilers (and newer patched C++ standard libraries depending on the default one!) and he says "It's not us, it's our customers. And no, they won't use any compiler
which isn't the system default".

Either you only use the system defaults, and that includes the old Boost included with RHEL, or you don't. I guess he includes a private Boost copy as part of his project. Well, include a private GCC too then. A dependency is a dependency

Those customers have silly requirements for no reason. The whole world shouldn't make efforts to accommodate them.

I am going to bet those customers are going to argue about "stability". All this comes from people reading "stable" as "rock solid, never crashes, always works as expected" when in the case of RHEL it actually means "it doesn't change, no new bugs introduced, and you can relly on the old bugs staying there". Those customers just need educating.

That’s honestly the best course of action imo. You can’t just block everything from the internet and some things are products of their times. However, seeing it and understanding why it’s bad seems best especially for kids. I don’t think it’s enough to know that something is bad, one should know why it is.

There’s this Community episode that has “black face” (a character paints himself black to be a dark elf) and was called out for doing a hate crime by everyone in the room; this episode was pulled off of Netflix and I don’t understand why. It’s not like it was portraying it as something okay to do. In fact, it was very clear that it’s something you shouldn’t.
In the 80s and 90s, right-wing Christian activists demanded the censorship of tons of "inappropriate" material from mainstream books. A good amount of censorship occurred at the height of the Satanic Panic, but ultimately the publishing industry grew tired of it and balked. The result was an explosion of the "Christian fiction" genre--it's a genre of books that is completely sanitized of things like premarital sex, illegal drugs, homosexual relationships, alcohol abuse, violent assault, rape, crime, cursing, spousal abuse, etc, thus leaving it "clean" and appropriate for Christian consumption.

The result was less pressure on the publishing industry to censor books. When Christian activists came knocking, the publishing industry could say, "Look, you guys have an entire section of the bookstore filled with books that cater to your morals. So leave Twilight alone."

I think it's probably time to create a similar genre for leftist activists. A "safe fiction" genre would allow for books that have been stripped of all things leftist activists find offensive. No body shaming, homophobia, mental health related slurs, etc. Having designated "safe fiction" books might have a similar effect of relieving the pressure to make all books "safe" in the eyes of left activists.

Of course, there remains the barrier that most individuals in the publishing industry are hard-core leftists that fervently follow the whims of leftist activists. It's standard these days for books to be edited by "sensitivity readers", who point out all potentially offensive things from a left-wing activist viewpoint, before publishing is permitted. (Source: am deeply involved in the writing and publishing community, and have had many friends go through the sensitivity reading process.)

Shifting away from this mentality is going to take a major push by the reading public, who will need to make it clear that they are not okay with a small minority enforcing their worldview through censorship, regardless of whether the censorship is coming from the right or left wing.

You can already do local development with dagster, if you set up a local environment. Some users may not want to set up a local environment with all dependencies, secrets and so on, so they can use the remote environment option. Remote environments are also easy to share with other developers and can be used in addition to local environments.

Is there precedent for this, though? Given the existence of capitalism for a while now, it seems like publishers would have honed in on this technique in the past. Then again, my knowledge is limited here, so maybe it's not new.

Just look at the huge amount of money being invested into advertising, PR, and marketing. That industry is mostly focused on finding psychological tricks to manipulate us into wanting things we just don't need, in various ways.

One of the best known examples is the PR-manufactured tradition of diamonds in engagement rings, which sky-rocketed the demand for diamonds in the general population.

Another great example is the huge industry of "supplements" which is legalized fraud on a massive scale, selling useless pills to people with a promise of making them better in some way, and relying solely on the fact that it's hard to prove that they don't actually do anything since their claims are so vague.

These are prime examples of entirely artificial demand created out of whole cloth through manipulation. There are numerous other cases of more subtle effects, where marketing is significantly inflating a demand which would exist but be much smaller otherwise (toys, smartphone upgrades, new cars every few years, beauty products, fashion etc).
Ok go ahead what do I not understand? Can you at least tell me which comments you are talking about?
My favorite bug this month was while setting up a development environment with the AVR-ICE.

I tried to save some company money by not buying the (optional) case and programming cable assembly -- figured I could just use another not-80$ SWD cable (also 3d-printed a case and a SOT-23-6 programming adapter).

After much cursing and hair pulling, I noticed that the header for the SWD cable was installed upside-down on the PCB. So the red wire on the ribbon cable was pin 10 instead of pin 1. In their defense, they did correctly indicate this on the solder mask, I just didn't see it through the (opaque) case.

My best guess as to why the cable assembly costs 80$ is that they again reverse the pin order on it to silently fix the bug on the PCB instead of just shipping a standard cable.

It turned out to be worth the engineering time to deal with the bug, but not by as much as I hoped. It's a pretty neat product despite this bug, definitely more modern than the venerable STK500 that I used previously (which itself had been converted to a USB device after the level converter failed).
I prefer using early return in monads with guard like:

main = do
print $ safeDiv @Maybe 1 0
print $ safeDiv @[] 1 0
-- print =<< safeDiv @IO 1 0 -- guard throws an error in IO

> No, this seems misguided. Section 230 protects the small Mastodon instance I'm on in the same way it protects Twitter.

If you are willing to be even slightly clever you will figure out that this is an easily solvable problem.

Just do what the EU did, or Texas did, and remove/modify section 230 protections only for very large social media companies, defined as have literally 10s of millions of users.

That way, the small platforms are protected, and the large ones that are the problem actors, have to change.

Problem solved.

No need to worry about this straw man position of "look how bad things would be if we do the dumb thing and didn't implement the easy to figure solution that solves most of the complaints!".

I’d explained it in this way: It’s a neural network that learned to understand knowledge by reading a large part of the internet. It’s emergent behavior inside the neural net.

But the data will flow into the brain and due to the learning algorithm: it will start to understand the visual data over time. It’s emergent behavior. The net builds relationship to have a better estimate of the required output to minimize loss. Predicting the future requires intelligence
