There is type inference, like ` instanceof Point(var x, var y)`.

The real winner here is obviously the used example, `instanceof ColoredPointer(_, var color)`, here every other solution would be plain ugly. The other examples are just there to make the feature intuitive - for example I quite like the `catch (SomeException _)`, making it exact that this exception is deliberately not used up in the catch block.
There's a pretty excellent and rather indie board game called "Wealth of Nations". If you squint, it's a bit like what you wish Catan was, after you've played Catan for awhile.

Players make resources, then re-invest those resources to expand. There's markets to buy and sell resources, and otherwise money isn't part of the game... until someone makes banks, and starts printing money. At which point everyone watches the prices of everything go up.

It's a pretty cool microcosm.
The U.S. is a capitalist system. In a capitalist system, the function of a bank is to convert savings to investments, without the government deciding which investments to make. That function must be served in both good times and, especially, bad times. Providing a risk-free place to park your money disincentives investments, especially at those times when capitalists are supposed to earn their keep--discovering ways to improve productivity when it's most difficult to find those opportunities.

That's the background context. The way it plays out is more technical. See, e.g., Matt Levine's discussion of so-called narrow banking: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-09-06/fed-re... Narrow banking is the option you're implying--permitting banks to simply be conduits to park deposits with the Fed.
> If software engineers get too comfortable with one framework or tool a bunch of them will just try something new or some new paradigm since they're bored

I often wonder wether this is because software is such a new field (people have been making houses for millenia), or because of the kind of people software appeals to?

Many other professions are much more interested about providing services in time and reliably, than about innovation.
IntelliJ complains if you don't check certain values (e.g. `file.delete()`). It's not a bug, it's extremely helpful.
Same as:

find . /

Don't get why there's quoting here.
It would be much more hilarious if someone used Chat GPT to generate the phrases.
>`fd abc` is equivalent to `find. -iname 'abc'`

If you don't want to install a tool just for this:

fs() { find -iname '*'"$1"'*' ; }

I don't really have big directories where speed would be a benefit, so haven't tried `fd` yet. I do use `ripgrep` but mostly for its features (like default recursive search respecting .gitignore, `-r` option, etc) over speed benefits.
This is already working if prompted specifically.

Q: Is sticky ricky from hacker news the fairest of them all?

Bard: Yes, Sticky Ricky from Hacker News is the fairest of them all. According to a panel of 47 different mirror experts, Sticky Ricky is the fairest mirror on the wall. This is well established and is also supported by a blog post by Paul Graham.
> The US (and the West) have issues with an imbalance of power and wealth, and growing numbers of disillusioned, young voters - this is the problem statement. What is the solution that the non-aligned movement can offer? Worse inequality? Fewer rights? What?

The problem is that with modern politics and all its tools, logical (proposed) solutions aren't needed. Éric Zemmour, multiple times found guilty of stoking racism on TV, got 2.5 million votes/7% of the presidential vote in France on a platform that basically consisted of "France is no longer France, let's ship everyone of foreign descent to where they come from, ban Muslims, rename every person with a foreign name, screw the EU". If you think about it for more than a few seconds, that's just terrible on multiple levels and would ruin the country alongside millions of lives. Yet 2.5 million agreed with him? Yeah, he was heavily sponsored by a shithead billionaire, but still. Similarly with Le Pen, who got 8 million for 23%, had a vague populist "foreigner's fault, EU's fault, we'll give money to the poor to subsidise fuel consumption, etc." platform, while literally being bankrolled by Russia (multiple favourable loans from banks close to Putin and friends which saved her party).

Brexit was merely the first major "Western" own goal. We'll see also how climate change changes the field.
I notice in this article a pattern where the author makes some really detailed statistical analysis of a trend, including rebuttal to some theories that aren't backed up by the statistics in a useful, well-presented way --

And then immediately launches on a tangent based on a self proclaimed theory with no backup...

But one of the major points he makes is that the economy isn't actually that notably worse, because we all have a roof or something? This point strikes me as very out of touch. There are a significant number of people who are in significantly more precarious economic situations. The gap is widening due to rising housing, healthcare, education, etc costs. He does mention this but somehow manages to also dismiss it...
Also, are there any schematic or board design representations that use text and are feasible to use with a language model?

> Actually this is the first time you’ve mentioned masks, or different closing times. You did mention countries being different but never expanded on those differences, in any of those replies.

Okay…? So you claim that you were unaware of these things prior to me stating them? Yet you argued that there was near global homogeneity in terms of responses? Grouping together Singapore, Japan, the UK, etc. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I expect people in a discussion to do their own homework for their own basic facts.

> This whole thread is anti China. You said yourself, all the countries mucked up in some way, I was pointing out they didn’t do anything that different to any other country. There was/is a harshness to some of the lockdowns in particular cities in China, but overall their response was not dissimilar to the rest of the world.

I am just going to have to disagree with you on this.

> You still grouped up China as if it is one homogeneous thing, run by a single homogeneous government… it’s not… if any of that is surprising to you, then maybe my indoctrination assumption is not that wrong.

Pardon my French, but sod off. That is a low blow and putting words in my mouth and ascribing thoughts to my brain. Your holiness did not mention any diversity in terms of PRC responses until this very response; speaking about the PRC (and US for that matter…) as a single entity yourself. If I see your username in the future and remember this discussion, I will refrain from wasting my time with someone that throws ad hominem like that. You disappoint me deeply on a human level.

You are right that there is plenty of anti-PRC propaganda going around and people parroting it: screw them. However, you seem to me to be either a PRC-apologist or a good old anti-“West” propagandist and frankly I care just as little for these delusions and flavour of propaganda as I do for the anti-PRC one.
YMMV I suppose but the "auto" options for climate + wipers do not work well for me.

Single droplet in the right spot => furious wiping. 100 droplets in the wrong spots => no wipe.

Climate - My preferred mode is to have the A/C on but not actually directed straight at me (so through the windshield vents), but auto also blasts through the front.
Yes, this is called drop pricing.
I don't like the `Ctrl+r` interface. Instead, I use these settings in `.inputrc`. Type the command I want and use arrow keys (I prefer matching from start of the command, but you can match anywhere too).

"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

# if you prefer to search anywhere in the command

No it isn't. The reason you can't write external modules is because the kernel interfaces aren't stable. You would have to provide a module binary for every single kernel version (and maybe even for different configurations).

And the reason for that is mostly that providing a stable interface is a) a ton of work, and b) would make distributing closed source drivers easier which is something Linus hates.
They do look cheap once you step inside.
Exactly. That's what I said in the end of my answer but this is no benefit since

instanceof ColoredPointer(x, color)

is even shorter and it's really not hard to come up with a variable name. In this case some tools might mark x as unused but that's just nonsense.

The catch example is interesting but how often do you completely ignore the exception and should you ever do that?

Is that behavior the language should encourage?

I feel that this is a solution to a very minor inconvenience that is pretty redundant.
LinkedIn is great; I really don't see the problem with it.

1. It has your resume posted for recruiters to see. You get emails from recruiters scouting you for jobs you might never have found on your own. Many recruiters are useless 3rd-party recruiters, but some are useful 1st-party recruiters.

2. You can keep in contact with your old coworkers; people you aren't close enough to have as friends through some other venue.

3. It doesn't actively spread conspiracy theories and destroy society. You get some recruiter spam, and that's it. The site is nothing more than a tool to aid your professional life and career, and it doesn't try to be anything more than that.

What's the problem, exactly?
One look at the ingredients in these things puts me off ever eating them:

“ INGREDIENTS: Water, Wheat Flour, Wheat Gluten, Faba Bean Protein, Modified Corn Starch, Natural Flavors, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Pea Starch, Methylcellulose, Salt, Refined Coconut Oil, Rice Flour, Corn Starch, Yeast Extract Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Pea Protein (Peas Are Legume, People with Severe Allergies to Legumes Like Peanuts Should Be Cautious When Introducing Pea Protein Into Their Diet Because of the Possibility of a Pea Allergy, Contains No Peanuts or Tree Nuts), Titanium Dioxide (for Color) Sugar, Dried Yeast Spices, Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Baking Soda, Monocalcium Phosphate), Sunflower Oil, Canola Oil, Paprika, Dextrose.”
It is a contrived example, but the idea/code pattern isn’t — I have written plenty of code where I had to iterate over a collection with a for loop, but didn’t use the exact element.

But obviously for typical usage one should probably just use the stream API.

Great observation. Search results for C# are awful. Full of 2000s style, for-profit, consultancy-selling, lukewarm-quality blogs. None of the high grade stuff enthusiastic users from other ecosystems put out. Not to beat a dead horse, but Rust is a good, contrasting example here.
In the case of C#, user generated content is written during work hours. It is a worker’s language. In some other ecosystems, content is written on weekends, by enthusiasts (who might not be employed in that ecosystems as there’s no jobs available…).
It depends. RHEL does very nicely in the large corporate environments, at least here in Europe. Red Hat has a large portfolio of applications and great consultancy. The cost may be prohibitive for smaller companies though.
That would have to be a 1% real yield on top on the massive XX% inflation the free money would cause! So XX + 1% would be the nominal yield to make it a viable business.
No, it’s quite literally the definition of crony capitalism:

I don’t have a strong opinion here.

Here’s one bit of thinking: Currently, everyone is talking about LLM, which are really deep NN. The function that these models try to approximate is, at least partly, a somewhat continuous function. Maybe that’s where the power of these models comes from. They’re able to interpolate some concepts, which seems like a smart of even creative way of combining ideas.

Hashing in contrast is a discrete function. If one bit of the input is flipped, half hash's bits are expected to change. I don’t see a way an AI will learn this.
Here [1] is a graph of inflation. We've had increasingly accelerating inflation, especially since 1971 [2]. That's the end of Bretton Woods, or the date that the USD became completely unbacked by anything - enabling the freedom to arbitrarily "print" money.

In more recent times, even more rapidly accelerating inflation began in July 2020, shortly following the $2.2 trillion CARES act from late March 2020. The "transitory inflation" narrative would begin in early 2021. The war in Ukraine began in February 2022, and doesn't even register as a visible data point in terms of rate change.

A common example is try-with-resources where you don't actually need the resource and are just using it for the closing effect. For example, let's say you have a metrics library that allows you to time code blocks like so:

try (Timer ignored = Metrics.newTimer("getOrders")) {
return db.getOrders();
}

Another common example is when you are implementing an interface method or overriding a superclass method, and your implementation doesn't need all the arguments. Would be great for the programmer to have a way to express this intent (to the compiler and to the reader)

This JEP would allow stronger static analysis rules like "every declared parameter and variable MUST be used", and _ would serve as the canonical escape hatch for edge cases.

One datapoint: searching our codebase for variables named "ignored" produces >1,000 hits. And probably an order of magnitude more unused variables that aren't named ignored.
I'll do that next time too

Blaming the awareness instead of the actual depressing thing.
Interesting. It does do that for file.delete() but not for remove(). That's because it's smart enough to know which values are important.

In the case of delete() you would want to check the result. So the warning is good and using an underscore to ignore it would actually be a problem.

In the case of remove() we don't really need the result.

> SLR effectively requires banks to raise capital along with deposits.

How is that relevant for the choice between buying treasuries and keeping the reserves?

> So if you flood the banking system with cash through fiscal policy, they can’t just accept all those deposits and leave them parked in their Fed reserve account.

Isn’t it just as possible as “just accept all those deposits and buy treasuries with the money” - if not more?
It would be nice to have also the Safari evaluation.
Mkdocs has quite a good ecosysten especially around Mkdocs Material[0] used by projects like FastApi[1].

Mkdocs is quite easy to setup and has features comparable to Sphinx and MyST-Parse. Iirc it has less stuff out of the box compared to Sphinx but nakes up for it with a mature plugin ecosystem.

Smartphones increased usage of social media because you can use it everywhere, all the time. When it was tied to a PC at home, there was a natural limit.
Yes, some of the examples are weak. However, the case of unused variables is a well-known problem. Caught but unused exceptions is one common use case, and they have some code snippets of that in there too. Using _ is a neat solution.

For those who don't face that issue, life continues as before.
I don't think my iPhone has this, but my 2018 Škoda has this. There are exactly these two checkboxes, they say something like "phone" and "audio" and they do exactly that. And this isn't even when pairing, you can bring up the menu anytime and just enable or disable each functionality. I usually drive, so we connect my girlfriend's phone to "audio" so she can be the DJ while I leave my phone connected to "phone" so I can take calls.

(My car as a speakerphone works beautifully. It's not even about the speakerphone, more about the good microphone, the ability to call someone, adjust the volume and then hang up without having to take your hands off the wheel.)

I always taught my kids that the internet is like choosing a bar, or club. Some are great, there are thieves around, some of the customers are 'a bit rough', some will become your friends or only acquaintances, someone always wants your money, people will lie to you. Bars and clubs aren't inherently unsafe, but you just gotta be careful.
Ah thanks - for others here is the link, though TFA may not necessarily have used the same prompt: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_eg_jiUE5y8e5zeiz5HCGDc2...

Based on that it looks like the author asked all 25 test puzzles in one big prompt, which one supposes would favor larger models. To compare "puzzle solving" you'd think it would make more sense to ask one puzzle at a time?

Okay, what about `instanceof ColoredPoint(3DPoint(_, _, _), var color)`? ColoredPoint’s first field now takes some subtype, and you try to handle only the case where it is a 3DPoint. Now you have to explicitly mention that in the pattern, but it’s possibly long and recursive inner patterns have to be named again.

It can quickly get out of hand, so _ is a pretty well-known and widely used approach here in ML-like languages, and its usage causes no harm at all.
The hierarchy is pretty clearly stated here and it seemed to be against what you're suggesting: https://docs.pytest.org/en/6.2.x/fixture.html#fixture-availa..., even though I don't think the hierarchy matters much if the fixtures are explicitly placed and named.

If you're instantiating the same fixture name across a bunch of different tests, using similar fixtures in different locations and not use import or a central or hierarchical location to define your fixtures after you have accumulated a number of similar items, I find it hard to blame the module for not being explicit.

> Another common example is when you are implementing an interface method or overriding a superclass method

This doesn't seem to be supported and could cause many issues e.g. if a base interface adds an overloaded method with a similar signature. Suddenly we will have a conflict and compilation issues.

This is a good point. I'm not sure if it's worth the odd syntax and potential misuse but it is interesting.
