> Of course it has, that’s what editions are.

They really aren't. Editions are just a mechanism to allow Rust developers to push backwards-incompatible changes as opt-in features. I repeat, Rust hasn't even went through its first iteration, and it shows a fundamental lack of understanding and insight to argue otherwise.
First, obviously regulation is a conspiracy. It will is a coordinated activity by multiple individuals.

Second, none of this is an argument to ban natural gas appliances. what is the harm? Is the harm acceptable? Should a person be allowed to except the harm? Can the harm be mitigated by education or change in behavior? And who has the jurisdiction to implement these regulations even if natural gas stoves are in unreasonably dangerous to the occupants who are you to tell me that I can’t do that to myself?

Speculation: Windows 10 end of life's in 2025. It's entirely possible that by the time that year rolls around, they throw in some backwards compatibility with some asterisks around performance.

Right now, Microsoft is not officially supporting the older processors but Windows 11 runs on 7th gen intel processors without any real issues except that it's a little slower than how it would run with Windows 10. But no work stopping issues at all if you were to run it yourself. I believe Microsoft even has a published way to do it if I'm not mistaken. It's manual and a little messy for now, with some asterisks around risks for automated updates, but it works.

Given all of this and MS's outlook towards backward compatibility I can see them eventually allowing older generations to upgrade after agreeing to some risks/performance degradation.
Sometimes it's too much info to give out. You want to accept phish/malware and silently drop it so that the bad actors don't know you've detected it.

A perfect technical configuration doesn't make you inherently trustworthy or provide you with faultless reputation.
Likewise programmers are not experts on the things they write programs for so it is acceptable for them to just do the bare minimum of translating business requirements into code and see what bugs pop up.

Right?
I'm not sure how you can credibly claim your goal is to minimize "headache and inconvenience" and then suggest replacing large parts of infrastructure as opposed to just adding new building codes for future developments that require no work.

What edge does Fortran really have over GCC C with GNU extensions? If you can use the restroct keyword, are there any speed differences left?
Landlords should be required to publish what capital they’re putting into a property, including interest. This data point alone would make it clear how good of a landlord you have.

There are two tough spots for landlords. There are some truly awful tenants out there. You can’t effectively screen them out.

The other hard place is lenders. Lenders soak up the margin. Unless the landlord rents out free and clear property he’s always behind, and it’s hard to maintain “his” property to provide a real service to tenants when he's collecting for the bank.
Our knack for cooperation is what got us to space at all.

It would be amazing if microsoft goes public with this support
> There is a useful message though: make writing clear and unadorned

I think this is the key takeaway. From the example in the article, phrases like 'just', 'painfully simple', 'just another way' aren't instructive nor objective, but decorative and subjective.

Documentation should have exactly one purpose: to instruct. There ought to be no mentions of difficulty, or obviousness, or triviality, or any other smart-aleck commentary. It ought to have a direct, clear tone, such as 'do X, which causes Y. Now do A and B, which requires C.' and so on.
Another beauty of this kind of thinking is that it’s really empowering if you don’t have any computer science background. Coming from somewhere like physics, grasping how computers are actually simple opens very direct paths for getting things done.

Assuming an average draw of 30 watts for the i5-8500t system (it will be mostly idle, so way less). With my $0.11/kWh electricity, I'm looking at $2.37/month in costs to run a node. Even assuming the electricity was free for the Arm box, that's 10 years to make up the difference. I highly doubt these machines will be in use in 10 years.

We have to train new staff in how to do C++ programming now. Fortran is much easier to explain than C++. As soon as people go from toy problems to big compute they will face the same problems that led to solutions like Fortran.

What we might see is Fortran being generated from higher level specifications, particularly distributed parallel computations using task specific processors.
That is unlikely to happen

On the contrary, lenders have been the landlords best friend. Until recently, you could borrow money at 1-1.5%, buy a property and rent it for 5%+ return, banking the difference.

This was basically free money and the optimal thing to do was to borrow as much as you can for as long as you can.

You could put a small deposit down, and by the time you add the margin on the borrowed piece then you were yielding 10-20% on your cash in. Much better than just the 5% on unemcumbered property.

This model has completely collapsed as interest rates of normalised.
Hiring someone to lobby on my behalf is an important part of our political process. If there’s an issue I care about, my ability to show up at a random time in DC to lobby “for free” should not be my only recourse.

If I donate money to the EFF or Louis Rossmann for a cause I care about, that should not block them from lobbying on my behalf.

Everyone complains about professional lobbying that they don’t like. That’s hardly shocking.

It’s because “simply” became a marketing tool, devoid of substance. It’s not simple because it objectively is, it’s because we say so in every other sentence so that you cannot decouple the notion of our product from the word “simple” anymore. It must be simple, because you have been indoctrinated.

It’s noise not unlike those 1-hour long “Shopping TV” ads.

I’m not against using the word as ling as it’s put into some kind of framework which allows some actual assessment of these claims:

— Simple compared to what?

— What prior knowledge or skill is assumed?

— When does it stop being simple?

But since “simple” is being either used by authors deeply enamored with their brainchild, or as I said above, as a marketing (read: manipulation) tool, your chances of getting straight answerd are slim.

Most problems people have after 25 or so are directly related to income, which would upset rich people's pockets, so no, they literally do not matter.
But there's a material difference between "attempting, in good faith, to determine what the demand for a commodity will be in the future, and buying based on that" and "attempting to determine what the price of a commodity on the futures market will be and buying based on that".

When people say that a commodity's price is being driven by speculation and gambling, they mean that it has shifted from the former to the latter. This means that the price is disconnected from the actual, physical use of the commodity, and is instead being driven by the inconstant passions of the commodities market itself.
Protection against being sold a defective product is considered 'extensive warranty' now? You're free to argue that this isn't a big enough defect to make the transaction fraudulent, but don't try to argue you need to pay more money to get the most basic protection. I mean, if you're not even getting the most basic protection than what on earth are you paying taxes for?
I think that the advice is a bit more nuanced, your first example is fine as it is but consider the variants:

"...that are clearly always available."

"...that are obviously available."

"...that are simply available."

These adverbs are not only redundant but their presence suggest that things are actually not clear, simple or obvious.

Nobody is resenting anything cool, they are pointing out that when it comes to packing 4kt worth of explosives into a vehicle and flinging into the air you better take your time to get it right.

This is a private company which is not directly accountable to the government as NASA would be. There won't be a congressional committee holding them to account or removing the people in charge if they fuck up. Sure they might get a good scolding from congress if they make mistakes, but they'll get to pay their way through the courts to shirk accountability.

The fact that the FTS failed on top of all the other problems is cause enough for alarm and indicative that they are not being thorough enough. It was sloppy work, and when Elon opens his mouth about unrealistic timelines he is openly stating that he will continue to apply pressure on the team to rush things and cut corners for results. There is nothing cool about running an aerospace program like that.

Here I was years ago wondering whether the Yourdon formalism or the Gane and Sarson formalism was better for doing your data flow analysis.

It turns out doing dataflow analysis is just pretty much scorned by the programming community so it was moot.

People just want to start coding and get that immediate dopamine hit of positive feedback. The answer to which formalism was better was "Agile" where you don't need to plan or even understand data flow (because it will emerge spontaneously); just write code between Ritalin hits.

One result of this is that there are no good (free) tools out there to support either dataflow analysis formalism. I get blank looks for coworkers when I ask to see the dataflow analysis for their systems.

Of course, I picked up the dataflow analysis thing working at a Waterloo startup as my first post-graduation job. The university I went to focused on data structures and algorithms (the how of software) rather than dataflow (the what of software). My first job taught me that data structures and algorithms are necessary but not sufficient.

This video about the gospel from early Christianity scholar Andrew Mark Henry is very informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7JYGOhgnKc I totally recommend his channel if you are interested in topics related to early Christianity and the New Testament.
I see it differently. If you are writing documentation for a system you know a lot about, things are completely simple for you right then right there. But as we all know in 6 months you'll look at your own code and think "who the ... wrote this?".

So avoiding the word "simple" isn't about accommodating the 5% of your least intelligent users and dumbing down the content, but the > 90% who are not so into the topic as you are right now.
I mean your argument is sound enough in that a household's CO2 emissions are trivial compared to big industry or global ecosystem collapse, but that's not the only argument.

Europe found itself in a huge conundrum last year when Russia cut off the gas supply, highlighting our dependency on cheap Russian gas. It meant households went cold and lost their primary means of hot water and cooking - not so much because there was no gas, but because it was unaffordable.

But in my neck of the woods, removing dependency on gas had been ongoing for a while already for various motivations. One reason to do more with electricity, for example, is because people have cheap solar panels on their roofs now, using that to heat their house is (seems?) more self-reliant, cheaper, and less environmentally impactful in the long run.

And sure, one house won't make a difference, neither will a thousand. But it'll start to make an impact at scale.

There is no one fix for climate change, it will take tens of thousands of small changes and legislation over the span of decades.
It runs using a compaitibility layer (rather than emulation) so I don't imagine the performance to take a huge hit.
Last time I had any kind of electrical power failure was, IIRC, the end of 2006 while living in the middle of nowhere:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/uhgrnw1W4KFBoiRRA

So while I fully believe your lived experiences and preferences, a relevant question is: why are your electricity supplies so unreliable that having gas as well is even an important concern?
My in-laws use their gas stove whenever the power goes out. I don’t use my electric stove when that happens. It happens maybe once a year, so I don’t really care. But if you’re in a place where outages are more frequent, it’s definitely a point in gas’ favor. On the other hand, I wouldn’t want to use gas without my hood fan properly working, so… I’m not sure what my point is anymore.
It's not by design, though.

No one designed this system. It grew, organically. People started recognizing parts of it they could take advantage of, and pushing to have those parts become more prominent, largely individually (as opposed to in one grand conspiracy of collusion).

It may be true that some of those people believe it is in their best interests that the markets be "broken", and so have pushed that far intentionally, but there is no one overriding will and no single hand on the rudder to even be able to do that on purpose. It's all just greedy people trying to get their own interests put before everyone else's.
I agree with your point. Nowadays, people seem to be overly sensitive about their code and the way we communicate, among other things.

It's important to remember that the code is not a reflection of ourselves, and not everyone will be pleased with it. Some will provide good guidance, while others will not. Therefore, we should remove our ego from the code. Code is like a lollipop that we enjoy, but then discard once we're done with it.

If I don't understand a design doc, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm stupid or that the writer is bad at communicating. It may simply require more effort on my part to fully comprehend it.

I don't understand why some people are so sensitive and take everything as a personal attack.

I love how everyone here is blaming something different: parents, Meta, advertisement, political divisiveness, urban planning, society, lack of personal responsibility. Soon there will be more reasons, like violence and money. And they're right, sure. All of those are partially responsible.

But I feel we tend to give a pass to the people who are actually producing the content that is damaging a generation and making bank, as if they have no agency or responsibility.

Instagram would probably be great overnight if those people suddenly all disappeared.

I don't see why you'd need more than a few months at most of C to get a general ability to guess what high level language functions will be fast and which will be slow, which is the main thing people need that for.

I don't entirely disagree with the sentiment, but the example is so contrived. The problem with these sentences isn't that the word "just" and "simply" are somehow upsetting to the reader but that they're clumsy sentences.

"Mailers are really just another way to render a view. Instead of rendering a view and sending it over the HTTP protocol, they are just sending it out through the email protocols instead. Due to this, it makes sense to just have your controller tell the Mailer to send an email when a user is successfully created.

Setting this up is painfully simple."

That said, I think there's rarely a good reason to say something is "simple" in documentation. Explain how to do it and let the user decide if it's simple.
