I should hope not. Zig is not even 1.0 yet, using it on anything as relied upon as the Linux kernel would be a bad idea.

That said, I do all my projects in it these days if I can get away with it because I like it so much and it is reliable enough for me... well, except for the fact that the current master doesn't actually implement suspend/resume yet and I use that for coroutines.

Yeah I agree. I'm starting to wonder about that mantra. If disclosing your successes endangers the work so much then maybe it's not such great work. The whole "there will always be bad actors" who want to "destroy our democracy" starts to wear thin when such high levels of secrecy are also eroding democracy.

If governments opened up more about what they're doing they might lose a few more of their secret battles (and people will die) but maybe it would be worth it when you look at the overall preservation of democratic thought. That's the ramblings of a wannabe patriot though, and not a lawyer, and lawyers are deciding all this.
It’s really mind boggling that SVB put so much money into bonds with long maturations at essentially zero or negative interest rates.

I wonder how many others did similar?
Here [1] is Yubico's draft WebAuthn recovery ("backup authenticator") extension spec, which is possibly what you're thinking of.

Are SVB's books plainly fraudulent, or are they just in a very tight spot because they borrowed too long? That is: is SVB actually a worthwhile asset if you have plenty of liquidity to weather the storm that SVB could not on its own?
this is a good argument for its legalisation. The more you try to ban it, the more the allure is. But legalisation should be coupled with early childhood education warning about the harms. It is particulary bad for the developing brain to use it. I fear this has been overlooked, and we are going to see a generational lapse in achievement.

No, the bank could be allowed to collapse or the Fed could arrange a meeting (LTCM style) and basically force a buyout. Nothing is assumed.
If you love OOP, then use Angular. It’s OOP all the way! But you will probably regret using it…

There are also a lot of UI frameworks that are completely functional. Take your pick. (ReScript would be the most obvious choice for a react developer)

But for a good reason the hybrid FP/OOP framework React on JS/TS is one of the most popular.
> usually means the function is affecting something other than the output

That's exactly the point. If you leave an errant function call in a functional component, it's going to affect something other than the output of that component.
It’s called embrace, extend, extinguish for a reason. Is ActivityPub next? Though given Meta‘s recent lack of output I seriously doubt anything tangible will emerge out of this.
Except in the real world opinionated leads and team members forced teams to adopt ONLY hooks going forward, or have to maintain two separate implementations - hook compatible or class component compatible code.

So yes, this is a very sensible concern that transpired with hooks. Simply allowing reverse compatibility doesn't change the fact that hundreds of workplaces forced people to use a less ideal paradigm.

“this shift will provide a boost for the thousands of businesses located around our urban headquarter(s)” Odds are that this is actually just to meet agreements set with the local gov't so the company gets tax cuts. In reality, it isn't up to me to subsidize downtowns. Free market baby, if those places don't have customers, they need to go to where the customers are. They need to work harder, not punish the customer, the customer is always right.
The word you’re looking for is ‘moral hazard’.
Funnily enough here one part of the government, as part of an environmental push, is trying to encourage people to run appliances like dishwashers and washing machines at night to use renewable power that is currently underutilisied rather than contributing to how much of the fossil power is used at times of peak load.

Of course, at the same time, the also government run fire service is trying to encourage people _not_ to do that for fire safety reasons.

Banks lend for long periods on the expectations that deposits that are withdrawn by some customers are balanced by new deposits from others.

No, failing is failing. It means the bank is insolvent. That doesn't mean the bank is worthless, but it doesn't have enough cash to meet its obligations. And yes, depositors will likely get some of their money back, but only after a long battle. Also, the bonds held by the bank are likely off the run. The market for these is not large.

> I really don't understand what the allure of cannabis is.

Everything that exists in reality, from the observable beginning to the projected end, follows a pattern of abstraction that is exact and single. Drugs give you access to "suspension of disbelief" in experiencing fiction that is larger than reality.

> Like not being able to hold a thought for more than 5 seconds.

Not really an effect of cannabis. Heuristically it's more like the opposite, focusing on one thing for hours. The same way people with ADHD take Adderall.

> Say I want to make an Ethernet-speaking sensor of some sort, the sort of thing that might be on CAN today. I now have to make multiple versions of it if I want to sell into all those markets, which I'm not likely to do in practice.

If it's the sort of thing that might be on CAN today, you'd put it on 10Base-T1S and call it a day

The higher speed varieties aren't even going to be used in the sorts of situations where you'd normally be plugging in random additional hardware. It's a point to point link within a specialized wiring harness, whatever is going on each end is generally going to be specific to that environment.

It's moderately annoying from a tinkerer standpoint to have to use adapters, but I'm really having a hard time coming up with real world scenarios outside of development/testing where it'd be useful to be able to plug a 10Base-T1L device directly in to a 1000Base-T1 link for example, or vice versa.

I guess I could see some utility in a dual mode device for the two 10mbit varieties that could either be on a shorter multidrop network or a long run point to point, but even there I feel like a lot of those use cases would be in building automation type infrastructure where at the end of most of those longer T1L runs you'd have a few devices and a bridge to T1S multidrop would make sense anyways.

Whenever I see less experienced developers writing Redux, the result is just an abomination of chaos. I prefer naive spaghetti code over redux, because I can easily rewrite that into good code. But if the logic for one operation is distributed across dozens of files, it gets really hard to refactor.

And mediocre developers are the reality, i don’t think there are many teams, where everyone writes awesome code all the time.

> Has Oracle disappeared?

I'm not in that kind of world so I'm not familiar with Oracle business practices. And I agree, there's usually no middle ground and it's both annoying and bizarre.
I was somewhat disappointed by this because I think the thesis seems to be going in a reasonable direction. But then the argument veered into a not very exciting deconstrunction of the overarching Haidt bullet points that didn't seem at all compelling so much as oversimplified (smashing through a crowd hardly seems the same as bumping someone, and neither apparently has considered that giving the benefit of the doubt is variable).

I'm quite willing to buy that those with more power than students have a big role: just like with YouTube I'm sure there's a connection between bland banality and corporate money. And that the timeline is suspect.

But it also seems clear that students do have some kind of role in things like the recent Hamline lecture controversy.

So this wasn't really as interesting as I'd hoped it'd be.

I think the onset of Trumpism and COVID denialism has also added some new wrinkles to the whole business, where there are now significant groups of people who are just tired of being subject to relative lunacy.
Small bit but the way it’s worked in cars I’ve driven with mode selectors has been, it stays in the mode it was when you last shut it off, unless it was in sport mode (then it turns on in normal). So you can still leave it in normal mode all the time, you don’t have to change it each time you start the car.
Why does everyone make these huge generalizations based on one crisis that happened 15 years ago?

> a good debugger supports different kinds of breakpoints, offers rich data visualization capabilities, has a REPL for executing expressions, can show the dependencies between threads and control their execution, pick up changes in the source code and apply them without restarting the program, can step through the code backward and rewind the program state to any point in history, and even record the entire program execution and visualize control flow and data flow history.

TL;DR: That's fantastic! But if you need any of it you're already "doing it wrong".

Context: I've recently been using a compiler for a C-like language that targets a simple 64-bit VM, the point being there's no debugger for the stack (the VM is written in Rust; I could put a debugger on that and just deal with the extra level of abstraction using e.g. features like those described above.)

So how do you cope?

Design simple and robust systems that can be understood in action easily via printf/log. Use tried-and-true off-the-shelf components (including algorithms and datastructures.) Write in small increments, compile often, never proceed without complete confidence in your understanding of the system. When the inevitable bugs appear, and they can't be discovered through just thought or a rereading of the code, then you bisect: often literally (LoC) but also conceptually. Solve the puzzle and eliminate the places where puzzles can hide in the first place.

I quite literally see how a having a debugger would lead to worse code. (Even if you don't use it.) This isn't news btw:

> Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you’re as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?

(The feeling is different: like instead of a wild adventure, programming this way feels like gardening in an orderly and well-kept garden.)
Management and shareholders would not be personally on the hook for missed payroll in the event of insolvency.

If all the cash evaporated from my company's account, we were forced to declare bankruptcy, that's pretty much game over. The employees would be among other creditors figuring out their turn to pick over the remains. The employees may end up near the top of the list, but they wouldn't get to hold the C-Suite or shareholders accountable on a personal level.

They're contractually obligated to pay their employees, but that contractual obligation rolls up to the company level, not the people who run or own it.
Get a real bank and stop worrying. There are other things to think about, don't waste cycles.
I start every day/week/quarter laying out what my objectives/goals are, both tactical and strategic in a notebook. I also have the full set of electronic assets (evernote, statushero/etc..) - but something about the physicality of a notebook and my trusty Pilot G2 07 just grounds my day. I usually go through 2-3 notebooks a year, and I've had five or six different brands until about 10 or so years ago I finally standardized on the Miquelrius A5 Wirebound, 6x8 Graph lined.

Pricing is pretty variable (best deal I've ever done is $10.99) - it goes up to as much as $20 shipping in, so whenever I see a price lower than my lowest one, I just buy another 6. I think I've got about 24 of these stocked in my closet currently that should hopefully take me forward another 12 years.

People go on about pens - and my gateway drug to good pens was the Pilot G2 07 - I spent years and far too much money looking for the "Perfect" pen - until I realized that, ironically, my very first decent pen was my favorite and, wonder of wonders, is also one of the cheapest "good" pens out there. Essentially free. I marvel at how often in life you have to "pay for quality" - Not with the Pilot G2 07.
The ones you've heard of are likely this guy's 2020-era work, which is currently in doubt.

I agree with this take! And class-scoped callbacks kept the render function so clean, I feel like hooks really muddled up the API with regards to render. It also created far-more proprietary-to-React logic.
Pay by Crypto Instantly, Anywhere
Hi!

During the past weeks we have been working on Pay by Crypto, and today I am happy to tell we are pening a waitlist to be one of the first getting access to the app.

Pay by Crypto is an app that allows you to pay with ANY of your self-custody crypto wallets at ANY retailer and it is as simple as using a regular credit card.

It works even when you are offline and you have the option to pre-pay the card if you prefer.

We would love to get constructive feedback from those interested.

Thanks!
There was interest when SVB was solvent. Right now, SVB has negative value. E.g. you'd need to buy SVB for X and then pay an additional Y to balance the books. Y is likely to be a certain percentage of deposits and could be quite large. The only groups that will be interested in SVB are likely VC funds that are worried about an SVB collapse disrupting operations at the VC's startups.

Oracle still does a lot of fuckery with their licenses. For example, you're prevented to share any benchmarks you've performed with their software. Not sure it's been proven in court that you could prevent anyone from sharing such information, but at least they're trying.
Yes, insolvent, but the money doesn't go poof.

I never traded cash bonds but would struggle to imagine it would be hard to liquidate. Sure, over a week, but surely SVB can't be a major bondholder.
IMO, the problem is that they no longer have to hide. They pay a pittance of a fine (usually a pittance because the fine amount is static and set a decade+ ago) and keep right on doing it.
They only miss out on this if the people they are working with are in the same office as them. This isn't always the case at large companies.

I suspect that people who work for companies where teams, organizations, or even the entire company are colocated will tend to favor in-office work to some degree, while people who work for companies where teams and offices are geographically distributed will tend to favor remote work.

I personally worked for Twitter in-office full time for 14 months pre-COVID, and almost every meeting or collaboration I had involved a teleconference with people in another timezone or was done over Slack. There was some opportunity for face-to-face collaboration with people from other teams from time to time, but in my opinion not enough to justify the daily commute. That said, I'm open to a hybrid arrangement for companies where the situation I had at Twitter would not be the case.
my guess is that in the context of any project which is not super tiny, 1k$ is still very affordable
They made a gamble that if they needed to redeem them early that they would be able to do so without much penalty and that they wouldn't need to redeem too much if any (new deposits would cover old assets).

They lost on multiple fronts, interest rates rose so much that it became a huge loss to sell these bonds, the tech market slowed down meaning that fewer companies were getting infusions of cash and more of them were burning through their cash piles and the final death knell was that word of all this got out and it started a bank run.
having no drive to push beyond what's asked of you means you're not fit to have a strategic role.
Chromebooks that are a couple years old seem to run pretty cheap, especially refurbished. Installing Linux is simple enough, although some (all?) have non-standard key layouts which can require some additional setup to get working comfortably.

Same problem here, also the A5 ones are actually quite heavy to carry around.

I find the A6 Leuchtturm ones to be in most practical use right now, they fit into pants pockets (or for me, dress pockets) and they also come in bright yet simple colors which is somewhat inspiring for me. I need relatively long time to fill them so while the price is high they are not a big regular cost factor.
