It still sounds like misanthropy to me, but whatever you want to call it, I’m cool with it.

It sounds like what you’re getting at is a general sense of disenchantment with humans. Blessed are we that we have the capacity to look forward to our own demise, yet blanket our children with the picric acid of our lack of interest for solving it.

As someone with kids, I have a vested interest in solving humanities existential problems, but also lack the ability to actually do it. It’s bothersome.

It's a marketeting's game now.

I don't think that's true. Not because I think an indie game can succeed without marketing, but the opposite. I think most indie games would still fail even with incredible marketing. They'd just lose more money because they'd have an additional cost. You can't always advertise your way to success in a completely saturated (or over-saturated) market, especially if your competitors are trying to do the same thing. You can either get lucky or fail.

I don't see a lot of difference between reddit apps and AI companies.

I'm curious if you have any citations for that. If I google it, your guess is the top result.

In The Rock (1996), the Red Sea Trading Company is the name of a shell corporation used to launder proceeds from illegal arms sales. Wonder if the writers put it in there as some kind of nod.

> via taxes

This has been trotted out for many different problems, and I have yet to see taxes resolve any issue they are supposed to fix.

Carbon taxes don't reduce carbon use, fuel taxes don't reduce fuel use, sin taxes don't reduce soda consumption, cigarette taxes encourage black market activity, drug taxes don't reduce drug usage, etc...

Indirect action, like taxes, are a shot off the bow. The next step is direct action.

I still think they should stop adding new features and do what the C committee does in keeping the language stable over the decades which it will take to slowly die, as it should.

They're based on blacklisting rather than whitelisting. Security based on blacklisting means you're always going to forget to ban some critical thing. It's why trying to allow HTML but filter out `<script>` tags never works.

An example of whitelisting would be a capability based OS like Fuchsia or a custom non-HTML markup like Markdown that you then allow to use specific safe features like formatting (yeah I know about HTML in Markdown).

That said, this approach is probably the best you can do in Linux by a long way. I can definitely see use cases - e.g. all those services that have to use ffmpeg to transcode videos should definitely use something like this.

Code-switching (linguistically) requires the speaker to be multilingual and it describes the process and patterns used to determine when words are spoken in one language versus the other.

The best. Using it for years.
What a weird comment. What would be the point of "admitting" something that is an obvious fact? std::format, being a function for string formatting, is already part of the C++ standard library and can do some of its error checking at compile time. The paper you link is about making that error checking even better.
> wishing that the language stayed “pure”, as if it were ever actually pure, whatever that

I have wished for consistency in every language I have ever learned or tried to learn, which I suspect is what "pure" would mean in this context. Imported words often use different roots and conjugate inconsistently, which makes it harder to remember and use them. (Though of course, as sibling comments point out, any living language will import from other languages; the only escape is in conlangs... but if you actually used those they'd get the same difficulty:])

As another [half-]Spaniard I can confirm this. If anything, in Spain the only difference between "español" and "castellano" is context. The term "español" is mostly used when contrasting Spanish to foreign languages (inglés, francés, chino...), while "castellano" is almost always used when contrasting it to other languages of Spain (catalán, gallego, vasco, aranés...).

how to do everything in parallel

I found it was worse than that when I started playing with shaders, because my idea of parallelism came from threads, workers, and async functions eg doing several separate tasks at the same time. Parallel on a GPU is more like running lots of the same function each with different parameters at the same time eg running a function to calculate the color of a pixel using its x and y coordinates (and maybe some other uniforms) for every pixel on the screen.
Microsoft's lesson suggests that actual user needs have evolved passed the point where FreeBSD-style emulation compatibility is good enough. Users are no longer content with "good enough" Linux compatibility, they want perfect Linux compatibility.
I think my takeaway is that English is very weird. You can ride a horse and you can ride in a car. You can get off a horse but you get out of a car. Many other languages use the same verb for dismounting a horse as alighting from a vehicle, it seems somewhat unusual that we specify whether or not the vehicle is enclosing you. But, not all vehicles. You get off a train and get off a bus, but even if you're in a convertible with no ceiling, you'd get out instead of off.

I think the automobile broke English.

Yeah this is an interesting one. We don't really have a good English equivalent for "guten apetit" or "dobrou chuť" but bon appétit feels like the most well-known loan phrase that could stand in. "Enjoy your meal" appears to be sort of popular in restaurants (i.e. the server will say it to you) but it sounds so cold and weird to me. I really wish we just leaned into bon appétit instead.
I still don't get the "no good for branching code" point... Since most of the work is split in millions of "threads" which all run in parallel, then why is branching an issue ? Some threads will take a bit longer than the others. Maybe groups of threads will go as slow as the slowest but still, prallelism should make up the bulk of the acceleration. No ?

I don't think that's true; while it's obviously true that many mental processes can probably be explained away, something sits at the center of the mind that perceives things, and claiming that said awareness is a material or emergent property is a claim you can make, but it's a completely unsubstantiated one.

You're correct in part, as both image sources (the picture and the video) have maxed out pixel data. If it's HDR10, it does not have 24 but 30 bits of color though, so it maxes out at #3fffffff.
I think the point of the parent comment is that, although English is full of borrowed words and phrases, you're not switching to speaking French/German/Latin while saying them. You're still speaking English, it's just a subset of English which was borrowed from somewhere.
Even so, that was the era of Cuphead, the first Overcooked, and other local multiplayer games that had undeniable character about them. Even compared to marquee 2010 _flash games_, this game comes off as lackluster.

I assure you there's no passive aggression. They said "I'd rather that the software be engineered well enough to not need it" and I replied to this portion of their comment. If you have something constructive to add, please do. :)

You're not "switching to French", you're saying a word in English which happens to have a French root.
> I still think they should stop adding new features and do what the C committee does in keeping the language stable over the decades which it will take to slowly die, as it should.

Other than catering to your unexplainable desire to see the death if one of the most popular programming languages ever designed, what would be the point of that?

More importantly, what leads you to believe that there is value in stopping others from improving upon a language they use?

> Can't the new-feature enthusiasts just make a new language, or join existing efforts at building new ones?

What's the point of that? You have a perfectly good and working programming language that is used to build software everyone in the world uses every single day. Why would anyone think it's a good idea to just throw that out and water their time reinventing the wheel? Are you the one who is going to rewrite every single C++ software project into your flavor of the month?

planning to learn/use ansible,
wonder if Nix is ready to use ? have most functions/features ?
There is never a real lack of hierarchies tho. It is just that everybody has their own (which turns out to have a similar effect). If you are lucky all of the hierarchies people have in their heads align with each other. But it helps to have this formalized.

As someone who worked on quite some film sets: Contrary to the assumption many people have, clear roles and responsibilities are good for creativity. In the end the director ans the producer will decide on things, but on a good film set the best idea wins and so the director and producer would be idiots not to listen to their team when they have them.
Most GPU's only have so much compute cores. Even if you have a million threads, you might only have a few hundreds cores to execute them.
If you have heavy branching you might slow down the whole lane (which size can vary from 8 to 64 execution most of the time). Which at this scale still do make a big difference. Although for small branching, masking help avoid too much slowdown.
I'm a huge fan of Nix, and I'm glad to have stuck with the often times daunting process of getting into it - and I have to agree with the author's point regarding the documentation. That's not a fault of the people who actually did sit down and document their process, or distill their learning path into a tutorial - I myself understand it well enough to use it, but not well enough to really explain it without confusing people even more, but it's still a pity that finding good, exhaustive documentation for Nix is really difficult.

Another pitfall is the usage of flakes, which, on the one hand are (imho) great, recommended everywhere and often times even assumed to be used implicitly, but on the other hand are still experimental. I myself started using flakes not because of the promised benefit (although I did realize the benefit later on) but just because multiple tutorials I've read gave me the feeling that flakes were the de facto way to do Nix from now on - and mind you, that was in late 2020.

I'm using Nix for setting up my work machine (Mac via nix-darwin), my private machines (NixOS), selfhosting that's not in my k8s (also NixOS), and some private projects (dependencies, ci, and containers) - where the issues I've described don't really bother me, but for professional projects, where I'd have to convince and/or instruct colleagues, Nix feels a bit too rough around the edges for me right now.

Edit: I also think it's important to distinguish between Nix the technology (fantastic) and Nix the language (meh) - which is why I'm still itching to try out Guix[1], which is similar to Nix (the technology) in a lot of ways while using Guile[2] as a language.

> While more modern languages benefit from the errors of the older ones, I do not think they will be exempt from this kind of responsible growth process when they will become decades old.

This is true, but C++ hasn't learned enough from other languages' experiences either. Let's assume that `_` couldn't not be introduced without breaking changes. Even in that case it would be reasonable to opt in that syntax for some blocks of code, without breaking any existing code which hasn't opted in, and this "edition" mechanism was very successful to evolve syntaxes and often semantics in recent languages (JS, Rust, ...). C++ is still struggling with a false premise of stable ABI (see [1] for a good argument against it).

> Nix, on the other hand, does have a concept of state. If you make a one-line change to a 200-line Nix configuration, it doesn’t have to re-do all the work from the other 199 lines. It can evaluate the state of the system against the configuration file and recognize that it just has to apply the one-line change. And that change usually happens in a few seconds.

The author seems to have some misguided ideas about Nix. Nix is not fast because it is stateful. It is fast because it is functional and reproducible, which allows for caching without compromising correctness. I don't want to split hairs, but referentially transparent caching like this is not quite what I'd call state.

Yes, there is some statefulness in system activation, but this is not what makes Nix Nix -- quite the opposite.
Or as is increasingly the case: they actively hijack what should be system-wide keybindings - making it even worse.
And why, what do those lines mean
There is an interesting approach to this in Rust: if a potentially breaking change (e.g. a soundness fix) is being proposed, they usually test it against all publicly available Rust code.
The threads share control units. So if threads sharing the same control unit branch differently, they have to do both branches for all the threads (well, it depends on the GPU architecture). The threads will never finish before the others (again, if they are sharing the same control units). It works out for graphics and well engineered GGPU code because adjacent pixels and vertexes usually are similar enough to have a high chance of having the same branching behavior.
There are almost every year accidents with small old bulker ships (dead weight of 3000-5000 tons) in Black sea. I'm sure their remains stay at the bottom for future generations
1) Docker works much better within wsl than outside of it. 2) You still deploy to Linux so makes more sense to develop on Linux, too. 3) performance is basically native.
I never claimed they did, I said if your code is SOLID then it doesn’t really matter if it’s a microservice or not, it will likely be useful up to the point where scaling/organizational/too many cooks/long deploy/spof problems start to crop up.
Or because they don't want to disturb the newer ships too much when exploring them and never realise there's something even better underneath.

There is also another scam where people agree to buy a home, the sign a contract, ask for your key to be able to unload some furniture early and that's it.
