You should then limit your cool browser to 5 or 6 tabs, if you allow max N tabs and it crashes with less then N then either change N or admit it is a bug and fix it, it will probably reveal some ugly issue that might also affect other uses in different way, if you have this easy way to reproduce it then as a dev you should attempt to reproduce it and if you can then that is great news, you can try and find the cause and fix it.
Offering a carrot is okay. But offering a carrot and shit talking them while carrying a big stick is something else isn’t it.
Just to underline how property law works in many EU countries: I have a tenant who is actively destroying the apartment he lives in. It is still practically impossible to dissolve my rent agreement with him, because the courts see it as likely that he would end up homeless.

There is simply no conceivable reality in which our current system of laws would force a cash-strapped, 80 year old house owner out of his property simply because they can't follow up on EU energy regulations. We have plenty of legal safeguards to weigh social outcomes against the impact of laws and regulations.
Leave then.
I'm in the same boat as you and laund here. I don't follow the "inside sports" aspects of C++ or Rust, but I am interested in different languages and how they develop. So the name on the blog means nothing to me. This post just looked like yet another poor defense of C++ to me. I've seen this kind of thing plenty of times of the years but by people arguing in (mostly) good faith. Even the "good programmers don't make memory errors" thing has been argued by plenty of C++ acolytes on the net.

Satire is dead.
I'm not sure I agree that terminal applications should get access to the whole range of modifiers. It's nice having a certain key dedicated to the WM or macros and know there will be no conflicts.

Compilers do this sort of range tracking anyway. At least within a function. It's useful for loop optimisations.
I loved Festen.

Everything else is pure garbage.
They weren't included to make it more palatable, but because APL was being actively used in larger systems.
It’s because they have always been ahead in stuff like crypto and have an endless pocket.
Also, strict Jains are only supposed to eat anything other than fruit that has fallen from the tree, taking into account the suffering of plants as living beings.
Actually I have pretty poor self control working from home, the fridge is far too accessible, as are various other distractions around the house! The main advantage is that I can easily make myself a decent cup of coffee at home at minimal cost - machines at the office will provide free but invariably undrinkable coffee, or you can pay $5+ for a decent cup if you're prepared to ride the elevators to ground level and walk a few hundred metres. The only other reason to avoid the office is when the weather's crap (given I commute by bike).
They don’t destroy nature any more than cities and datacenters do. We just picked the wrong species to protect.
Traditionally they recorded existing practice and gently encouraged diverging implementations to converge.

The alternative approach is to invent things by committee, hopefully with some implementers watching, and hope for the best.
I will not tolerate what @Zurrrrr writes

"It's baffling to me that India is putting so much money into being part of the next space race, when they still have such vast and prominent problems on the ground.

You could say that for many countries, but there is a difference in degree IMO."

Said every racist and ignorant ever. You think we don't have people who make cost benefit analysis before investing in such projects? We don't have parliament and budget sessions?

The payloads we deploy immensely help us socially and technologically advance. Do you know that?

Ed tech itself got eGyanKosh, Swayam, NPTEL, private teachings on govt. platforms so cheap that by next year about a quarter million adults will be uplifted out of poverty. That funding is given to satellites launched by ISRO. Did you know that?

Had it not been for ISRO, we wouldn't have had larger outreach of instant cash transfers and payments. Did you know that?

Had it not been for ISRO we wouldn't be able to fight societal superstitions or bring in public health education drives let alone dumb down power play of society by caste and gender. Do you know that?

That also includes targeted courses for farmers about endemic genetic problems, weather, pests to Artists about film-making. Did you know that?

Even the money we get to deploy other western country's payloads makes people lift out of poverties in a single digit of percentage of populations in a city for every year! Do you know that?

But no. A random pompous clueless stranger on the internet comes to an sweet intelligent discussion site and declares he is baffled and India should now hold a inter-ministerial meeting to stop space projects.

These people have been everywhere from NYTIMES cartoonists to HN unfortunately. I don't understand how should one ban from this site either.

You are not contributing to the intended discussion of this site relating to the link posted, but yourself. You just want to throw around how baffled you are and sleep back in your mother's basement.
Plant-based milks face Dutch ‘limonade’ tax hike next year
Agree. In 1969 while they were busy landing folks in moon, the civil rights movement and black panthers were fighting for equality and justice. My 2 cents.
I think you're slightly confused as nothing about this is "fake space". This is proper orbital space, the same as any common astronaut does currently.
True but you see very different landscapes in these 3000kms and probably more diverse than in the 24000km of the Canadian trail.

Also if you like history you probably can visit some castles from different centuries along the way.

But it is true that on the French trail you cannot experience real wilderness where you encounter no humans for days and fear to do a bad encounter with wildlife.

The only wildlife that you'd probably see are ibex/chamois, beavers, vultures/eagles in the mountains, and if you are lucky wild boars, foxes, squirrels, deers, snakes and extremely lucky wolves in the Alps and bears in the Pyrenees.
They should figure out how to upload people into the AI so they can be programs that ensure everything is working fine.
Buying them, while preventing they start over elsewhere. And also, all savings in emissions are used to expand emissions in other industries. That doesn’t sound fair, and isn’t.
I've also been asking long form questions, including links to my research sources (especially our internal documentation), explaining my reasons for making certain assumptions, etc.

This helps future me easily find answers to the same questions when I end up having them again, and can eventually serve as documentation when even newer people come into the company.

I've also been taking exquisite notes (online, so searchable), including the same type of long-form links so that even if I have to leave a task for a month, future me can come back to it and pick up the thread immediately.

Taking these notes does slow me down a bit in the short run but I find it is invaluable in the long run.
Huh? He bought the user base. That's the entire value, the tech stack is a commodity.
I can think of exactly zero other reasons to have engineered the privatization of a charity, other than greed.

The balance of probabilities indicates to me that the attempt at regulatory capture is also based in greed, but if you have a different view, I'd love to hear your logic.

After all, if AI proliferation were as dangerous as Altman seems to claim, then why is the answer "OpenAI should continue to provide unfettered global public access to quasi-strong AI, but the government should slow other people down "?

If billions of dollars are involved, your first suspicion shouldn't be altruism.

Edit: OK perhaps a valid reason for a private subsidiary is to provide the charity with the income it needs to operate if it has no endowment (OpenAI does), but given all the other points I raised, I don't think that's what's going on here.
Same on Firefox for Android, but it can happen even for the furst answer if it is long-ish.
That’s somewhere between “summon” and “what have I done”, but where it falls on the spectrum is highly circumstantial
Well, if they keep buying once there are twice as many housing units as people that want to buy them, they’ll go bankrupt and no one will buy their assets at a reasonable price. So that problem solves itself.
In fact, the people who avoid the most tax (as a fraction of their income) are the bottom earners.
No, straight up, that's what needs to be done. I think that the current population-management fantasy supported by the WEF and quite a few on Hackernews -- building enormous arcologies in which to warehouse much of the world's citizenry -- is going to run into technical challenges that threaten the entire project, before they even get to the massive "people hate living there" problems.

We can get to actually zero carbon emissions if we adopt simple living without any industrial technology, but we lose the capacity to feed eight billion people without Green Revolution style agtech, so we will have to make do with fewer people. We have to face up to the reality that industrial civilization is widely regarded, by people with deep understanding of the issues, as a bad move.
Yup - passing laws that straight up ignore the Constitution would set a really bad precedent.
Ship an icy asteroid to the moon then.
I think it's a good starting point, and if you follow the rules but don't adhere to them 100%, it still works.

For example, I think The Wire (and the conceptual successor We Own This City) follow these rules to achieve a great effect (they break some of the rules due to subject matter, but rules are made to be broken after all).
"correct primitives" do not by themselves provide a linear order of events

a
/ \
b c
\ /
d

b and c are concurrent updates, how do you resolve d?

it's a trick question, you can't resolve d without information loss, unless you bring in additional knowledge from the application

you can resolve d with information loss by defining some heuristic for ordering concurrent updates, a.k.a. last-writer-wins, basically picking one of those updates deterministically

that gets you a total order, but it's cheating: whichever concurrent updates you don't choose are lost, and that violates consistency for any replica(s) that are based on that state

there is no free lunch
People need to make sure to maintain their expectations. This launch is not a failure if the rocket blows up soon after take off. They have an assembly facility built to build these vehicles quicker and quicker and every new vehicle is modified from the last.

The only thing that would be a failure is if it blows up on/near the pad and damages the facilities they've built over the last two years or so that would put another delay in the testing regime. This rocket is significantly more "slapped together" than past rockets and has been designed in a way to minimize cost as much as possible. It would be extremely surprising in fact for this flight to be a complete success.
Legalize home construction in the places where people want to live. That solves the biggest issue.

Well, if such a "tiny" reduction in workforce (certainly less than 12% or 60%) has led to such a traffic decrease on StackOverflow, I guess the layoffs have targeted those who significantly use SO for their day-to-day work.

Thus, if you don't want to get laid off in the next round, stop using StackOverflow ;)
We have "pointer provenance" which allows license to track type punning across more of your program than ever before in order to delete more parts of it with no diagnostic required.

One big reason I use JS on the backend is because Prisma can generate types for my API endpoints which I can use for my client code. Having confidence that my code works as expected is a huge deal and having end to end type safety is a great first step towards that.

I don't want to fiddle with it too much, because I have access to real ones so I wouldn't like to hog resources for Italians. But I've given it a couple of prompts that I use to test these LLM's and sadly it doesn't seem to be at ChatGPT level to me, more like at Bard level (i.e., much worse).
I don't know all of these, but it seems that nearly all are still inside the city, have a local function and are reasonably reachable by something else than a car. The ones I know are still smaller than the average French hypermarché, and there are far fewer than them. The Muiden mall was the first one and caused a shift in policy to strongly discourage moving shops to the city edge.
I feel the argument has gone cirular. People earn an income and keep wealth. The remark was made that those can be hidden, and the rich are good at that. Someone proposes that land be taxed: "ya can't hide land". But no, that won't work, because people can get foreign land. Oh, but that's okay because foreign land doesn't consume local resources like roads and infrastructure. So ... it's okay to hide your income into foreign land. Wait, what were we talking about?
I bet when chatGPT Plugins open up, there's going to be one where you can point to your website or PDF collection to load them up in the index. It's going to be one of the basic operations, these products like siteGPT won't be able to compete in simplicity of use.
> in which the majority holds power over the minority

That’s absolutely not how it supposed to be, it’s a very cynical take. They are the executive pillar of democracy, and actively terrorizing anyone is not a benefit of any society. Their whole purpose (should be) is to uphold the law created by the democratically elected government.
Those delay loops are common on microcontrollers and the usual solution is to either make the counter volatile or insert something opaque to the compiler in the loop body.

It would be of course nice if a warning was produced for that specific case: This whole loop was removed - is it really what you wanted, or is it a broken delay loop?
Hopefully this is an April Fool's joke.

I have to think short-term rentals are a big part of it, too. Open up AirBnB in any city and see how many units have been lost.
So you think it is in any world fair to shoot someone who has stolen a car?!
Author is angry but not wrong. Lifting the most damning quote from the article as I haven't seen it for a while.

C inventor Dennis Ritchie pointed to several flaws in [ANSI C] ... which he said is a licence for the compiler to undertake agressive opimisations that are completely legal by the committee's rules, but make hash of apparently safe programs; the confused attempt to improve optimisation ... spoils the language.

—Dennis Ritchie on the first C standard
What a bad take!

Python is not the cause of dependency hell. Deep dependency trees are. The only way to deal with this is to use seperate environments and to carefully specify the exact requirements.

Those who claim some language would be a magical fix clearly lack experience in multiple languages.
Sure. Every serious application has a special flag for their boss man right?
> I don't think that drawing a rectangular box with text in it should be slow

It is. Because you don't draw rectangles in HTM/CSS, it's not low-level enough for that.

You have a system that was designed to display one page of text in one pass that has complex contradictory layout rules grafted on top of it. So now if you even look at it funny it needs to re-layout and re-draw the entire page.

There's a reason why you still can't animate height:auto
I have been getting a lot of feedback from my colleagues for the past 2 years or so that I am one of the smartest people that they know of. My mother doesn't like me highlighting the fact that I am smart in front of other people especially our extended family (she thinks they will be jealous and wish ill of me) and pushes me to do better by working harder and keeping my head down.

TBH, I do not consider myself smart but inquisitive. I always try to create mental models based on the simplest explanations of a concept that is otherwise hard to understand. Taking care of my mental health is another thing I do proactively as I suffer from clinical depression. Will all that being said, I go through small obsessions every month or so and that pushes me to know everything about a certain topic and then summarize it at the end in my head. Being smart isn't always a natural characteristic, and it is definitely something you can work on.
Do those rules actually cover the writing (it the broadest sense) and it’s just Wikipedia article having a weird focus on production aspects, or it’s like that in the manifesto?

Because I don’t believe either of listed limitations help or hurt the quality per se. Academy 35mm? I think this stuff only matters if someone gets off to filmmaking/production nuances, the casual viewer doesn’t even know what this means.

As a person whose primary focus on a non-primarily-visual movie (i.e. a movie not about special effects or technology demos) is on the story rather than how it was made, this manifesto sounds pretentious yet weird and - most importantly - badly missing the point. I mean, nothing in the rules makes a movie a good one or a bad one. From a viewer standpoint, all those limitations feel just irrelevant.

And writing-related things like “here and now, with no alien props” in my peasant opinion sounds a lot like a poor man’s attempt to say “consistent, well-designed and thought out to the fine detail including the history/lore of the place and characters” (and that’s so obvious and natural to except of any movie that has characters or places I don’t think anyone ever states this, we only blame when movies fail at this to the extent it gets subjectivity noticeable). Just with some extra artificial restrictions that make zero sense to me. It’s like someone doesn’t trust themselves and their QC team, so they decide to do only one particular thing (which is fine, but not pretending that this is The Way). Or, well, maybe it’s like 64KiB demo and aimed on those who are interested in filmmaking rather than movies themselves.
ZSA has some openness in their software, but their hardware (and it is a hardware company) is closed.

That's part of the reason why my ZSA gear is gathering dust in silence, but my Prusa gear runs 24 hours a day and everyone who will listen knows about it.

Principles matter.
US wants to go back to the moon to put the first woman and PoC on it lol. Talk about spending billions of dollars for a token image.

Somehow when Murica does it we should all cheer for it as a great ray of hope for all humanity. Anyone else, there's a long line of "umm, actually..." guys. They just can't accept that a non communist, democratic country can compete with them
My emotion don’t care about your prdantry. I worked on a farm together with my father and grandfather. My grandfather’s grandfather started it as a dirt poor peat digger who lived in a peat house and worked till the day he died. Say what you will about my brothers farm, but I will physically stop anyone trying to it from him. He does a great job producing quality products with minimal emissions, while maintaining the great landscape and animals around him. If you want the destroy all that in favor of datacenters, you’re the problem, not him.
The argument is flawed.
You defend. "if it has a cost and lasts through evolutionary time, it is beneficial."

But to conclude your conclusion, you must also show that:

- emitting noise has cost (fairly believable)

- and that something listening to it is the only way to make it beneficial, which is far from obvious. (Could just be a way to dissipate energy, or to send signal within the plant, or to get rid of some chemicals, or many other beneficial things that doesn't involve something listening)
Interesting, but that doesn't particularly address why it's important to keep agricultural skils current and land viable.

eg: In a pinch meat animals can be slaughtered and eaten and what they once ate can be fed instead to humans.

It's the insurance of being not far removed from near sufficiency.
> I'm honestly sick of this whining about rent in top-tier areas.

I don't know if this applies to GP, but we certainly get this in Zurich, Switzerland. We have a fantastic public transport system, and you can get fairly affordable apartments that are <30mins away from the city center of Zurich by train. But people somehow feel they have a right to live dead center in one of the most expensive cities in the world right after graduation.

This! Thank you.
We’re not talking about why Seattle is far from Miami. American city sprawl is largely a recent phenomenon (post WWII) and was enabled by the rise of the personal automobile. Even the sprawl-iest of cities (Houston, TX) used to be respectably dense and walkable. The need for a car to achieve basic needs (groceries, school, work) is a phenomenon well less than 100 years old. America has this problem in part because it’s much younger than a lot of European cities, but it’s certainly not purely a function of topography.

That's Linux's problem.

A native control is one that uses the underlying system's conventions including visual presentation, keyboard integration, exposure to system services, accessibility etc.

Even for Linux there's KDE HIG: https://develop.kde.org/hig/
They have temporary control that can be taken away. Real control comes from owning more than half of the voting shares.
Thank you for your kind words sir. I didn't expect it.

As a user of those products, one gets the impression that the improvements are more focused on what is in Google’s interest rather than what is in the users’ interest, though.
I used the word 'behave' as in 'not provoke'. It's pointless to start a fight with somebody if you are currently a 97 lb weakling. Wait until you've built yourself up to be a 400 lb he-man again, like you were about 60 years ago.
Can you name a country with a successful implementation of communism? Successful for me means the people are happy and implementation means they actually stuck to the ideals of communism and haven’t slid capitalism in.
