I think instances where transpiled languages becoming more popular than their targets would be the exception not the rule. At the end of the day, you generally are advised to be proficient in the target language to use the transpiled language skillfully or to be able to effectively debug it, and if you're already proficient in the target language, you likely can just write the target language directly and have cleaner/faster/optimal output.

Typescript would be the notable "exception", and even that had huge backing, and I'd still have a hard time believing even typescript has really surpassed javascript in usage.
Great advice allround, especially on gravel and XC. They still have all the same pros as MTB, different types of riding but very much adjacent.

I am lucky enough to live within riding distance of a trail centre, they aren't the best trails but having any trails nearby in a suburban area is amazing. It's a 10 minute pedal and I get out once or twice a week to those trails.

> Websites have a hard time doing the right choice without the user explicitly telling them what to do.

That's what the browser sends a language headed for, except barely anyone respects it and just assumes, example from last night:

I am in CZ, my native language is English, my browser sends en-us, however Google not only switch between CS and DE ať random (presumably due to other travelers coming from the same IP address, I was on a train) but several of their auth flows etc don't offer the option to change language. So in this case it was wrong twice, and many native Czechs also use English as their interface choice, it's essentially telling the user they're dumb and in the other case, forcing people to navigate without being able to comprehend the page they're looking at.
Reich had been persecuted on two continents long before he went crazy and raved about cloudbusting and orgone. The early psychoanalytic period was a wacky time by modern psychological standards, and his pseudoscience about "bions" didn't help. But what really did him in was his transgression of practitioner neutrality, his advocacy of free sexual expression, his touch-based therapies, and his insistence that a psychiatrist's job is to help reform society to better meet the psycho and the somatic needs of the masses. Only then could we prevent "neurosis" rather than just treat it. Even today the idea of reforming society to prevent mental illness is hugely controversial.

They burned his books, including "The Mass Psychology of Fascism" and his seminal "Character Analysis" in what has been called one of the worst instances of book burning in US history at the time. Looks like the burning times are back, eh?

He was jailed for refusing not to proselytize the Orgone box, but that was really a pretext. Orgone boxes aren't in any way dangerous. He was jailed because his theories and practice were a threat to the status quo.

Sure - you could use tf’s local/remote-exec to do the stuff you’d normally do with ansible but man that would be annoying and slow going when you know you can reach for ansible.

Vice versa, you could have an ansible playbook to call the cloud provider’s api and cook up some kind of approval workflow / state management but man that would be annoying and slow going when you know you can reach for terraform.

You think that we took equal roles in dealing with threats!?

The simple truth is that men handled the vast majority of situations where combat was required - we're bigger, stronger, faster, more aggressive.

Our aim is better, and (best of all) if half of us die it doesn't severely impact intergenerational population levels.

Women may have gone gathering, but men went hunting.

Fire fighting is some scary shit - but our ancestors took on short faced bears with sticks.
With flakes it seems a lot easier to understand where all the parts are coming from. You give it git repo urls and it gives you a workable package. If you want to use a branch, or unstable, or whatever, it’s right there in the flake. Also, input and output are clearly marked.

It’s not doing anything new, really, but as a stand-alone unit it seems easier to wrap my head around.
Same here. Similarly, I stay away from macros. I think they have a detrimental effect on Rust’s development as well, where sometimes proposals of semantic features are rejected, because something can be done with macros on the syntax level. Maybe it can, but each time it’s inferior. So not only does a user need to deal with macros written by others, but some things aren’t going to get macro-less solutions and the user is forced to write macros from time to time as well (if there isn’t a crate with them ready). And don’t even get me started on the effect of proc macros on compilation times.
I feel like rust has been having a lot of success recently in areas that were previously dominated by c not c++, but i'm not that familar with the rust landscape so maybe i am mistaken.
According to this article[1] from mother jones Warren Farrell is considered to be the founder back in the 80s:

"Farrell is widely considered to be the father of the men’s rights movement. In a series of books published since the 1980s, he has made the case that the primary victims of gender-based discrimination are men—casualties of a society that relies on their sacrifices while ignoring their suffering. He blames this phenomenon for a litany of woes, from the plight of blue-collar workers to the state of veterans’ health care and rising suicide rates among young men. Many of today’s men’s rights activists view Farrell’s 1993 book, The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex, as their touchstone, and the online forums where they congregate are steeped in Farrell’s ideas"

Python will probably also be "faster and multicore" with latest proposals, so it's not a very good pitch.

This might be a bit of an edge case, but how often are ATS systems focusing solely on vertical grouping like suggested in the parser deep dive in order to group information? I ask this because I have seen resumes that employ a two column layout where the section title is on the left and the information for that section is on the right (possibly with multiple lines in the same section) separated by a 1 line gap between sections in most cases (the experience section is the one exception to that on my resume). My resume is also like this and I haven't had too much trouble with it (yet).

When I ran an example of this type of resume through the tool, it found the basic profile information but blanked on everything else - I would imagine that some other tools might employ things like OCR to solve this case as the text would be mostly reasonably grouped together in OCR output.

Edit: Fixed saying right twice instead of left and right. I guess the only direction is right when you are barely awake at 1AM
Accepting anything offered to you on the first offer is a bit rude. Basically, you are a guest of someone and shouldn't be a burden on them. They have to prove to you that you are not a burden, and then once that is clear you don't feel bad being served.
Then your tea comes with cake, ham sandwiches and biscuit which is beyond the scope of the initial drink you were offered.
"The only constant in life is change." Indeed, the rate of technological change seems ever-accelerating, leading us through cycles of adaptation and learning.

While this constant shift may sometimes be seen as tedious or even chaotic, it's also a reflection of our growth as an industry. Each new tool or practice arises from the shortcomings of the previous ones. Serverless wasn't born in a vacuum, it was born out of the limitations of servers. Microservices weren't born out of nothing, they came from the monolithic application era's shortcomings.

The key lies in discerning between meaningful progress and trend-induced churn. Not every new tool or practice is necessarily an improvement, and even those that are may not be the right fit for every organization or use case.

On a personal level, how can one keep up? Find your anchors in the fundamentals. Concepts like abstraction, encapsulation, concurrency, state management, and others are applicable across a multitude of tech stacks and paradigms.

Mojo is interesting. Python is a genuinely terrible language with an unparalleled library ecosystem. I hope something saves me from the tyranny of Python. But I'm not optimistic.
There is nothing simple or minimalist about C style separate header files with hacked on property synthesizers. The language is an aggregation of hacks.

It's not configuration though. Specifically, it's not configuration of the project in question, it's configuration for third party accessories.

If I'm writing an editor, I expect the config directory in the source code to hold the configuration for the editor, not .babelrc

meta is a much better name and they are "about" the project, not the project itself, so I disagree on that point. Though I agree it should not be hidden. I will start having a "meta" directory in my projects

We can't just throw something like "you confuse the concepts of X and Y" like that. This whole sex vs gender this is absolutely new to the world, so we can't just expect people to know it much less agree with it.

I may be ignorant of history on some pedantic definitional level, but every single thing I know or am aware when it comes to this topic is that there have always been two of this "thing" whatever you want to call it, barring small odd cases or medical conditions. Two. Likewise, sex and gender were always seen as one in the same and interchangeable.

This is very much a new, modern thing that's been thrown into the mix. And don't get me wrong, everyone should have the right to express themselves freely as long as they don't hurt others.

But this whole "gender" being something different to sex seems very much a spanner thrown in the works to confuse and back something as being "fundamental" as if it's needed in the fight for equal rights for the affected individuals. Whether a person gets to act as the other sex/gender is irrelevant, they are a human being and get rights as such.
Do you need to take that chronically or have you reached any sort of remission where you don't need to take it forever?
Quite a good estimate of the situation. I particularly like the last paragraph:

> To my mind, there are five main possible explanations, in descending order of probability.

> 1. The US establishment – Pentagon to press – is engaged in a complex cross-party conspiracy of psyops to unnerve and mystify America’s adversaries, especially the Chinese. Perhaps they want to convince them America possesses advanced alien technology, and America has been reverse engineering it for decades.

> 2. The US establishment has some incredible new military tech – something truly astonishing, like anti-gravity aircraft – and they’ve had it for ages, and they want to hide it from everyone: Americans as much as the Chinese.

> 3. The US establishment has gone collectively mad, or is suffering some mass hallucination, stemming from a few credulous individuals (a process known in psychology as ‘contagion’).

> 4. The US military/elite sincerely believes we are being visited by non human intelligence – but they’re wrong.

> 5. The US military/elite sincerely believes we are being visited by non human intelligence – and they are right.

> Which is it? As I see it, they all come with major problems and caveats. Just think about any of them and you’ll understand why. Nonetheless, this entire peculiar phenomenon needs unravelling. And if the final answer turns out to be option five – and however distressingly outlandish, it cannot be entirely dismissed – well then we might need to do some praying, as well.
Indeed. But I don't expect any of those bar patrons to help me get my work done... and I would be very skeptical of their advice.
While there are much better parsers by now XML has some major problems (in no specific order):

- it's quite complicated with a lot of niche issues many parsers don't handle nicely

- it has serious issues when it comes to semantic vs. non-semantic white spaces, this happens to not matter for some applications does does matter a lot for others

- it is in a uncanny valley between being good for human writing and good for machine consumption, for most use-cases there are objectively better formats

- people did ran into endless problems with it. Some at it's fault many more not but still associated with it. This gave it a negative image outlasting hype cycles.

- it needs to compete with JSON, which in many use-cases fails by default no matter if it's good choice or not

- compared to some alternatives there are often way too many ways to encode the same thing, this is also an issue e.g. for JSON, but way way worse for XML

- non us-ascii string encoding..., it's old enough for there to be a bunch of legacy messiness, often you can ignore it but not always

Now there are use-cases where XML was and is used with successful and I don't see that changing, but a resurgence of XML in other areas would IMHO be a failure of the IT industry to not learn from past mistakes. For data serialization (even if human readable) you want native support for maps and fully encoded strings (e.g. JSON), for configurations you most times want something more simple (sadly YAML fails this due to some subtle issues). For huge datasets you probably want something more compact then XML. Still there are some good use-cases for XML where it's many machine processed, but not only, not very little amount of data but not a huge amount, need for a lot of annotations, need to coordinate changing schemas of "cold stored" files of that format between different companies, mainly used for encoding in a file, not between life communicating servers. I.e. UI encodings without a custom language, some but not al cases of scientific data, dumps of complicated configurations normally never writing by humans, but sometimes inspected by them.

But please never again tightly couple it with security schemas, especially the way strings are handled in XML makes that a terrible choice for such use cases. And it's also not a grate choice for any life communication between programs.
Women actually talk about being lonely - yes, and men don't, and definitely not to other men, because talking about problems is weak and feminine.

Tapping out SOS with a wrench makes sense. SOS has an unmistakable sound to it that is instantly recognizable to even the most novice Morse operator (even when I've practiced it, it has chilling effect on me).

Even though each tap (each clunk of the wrench) has the same duration the altered mark/space ratio makes it unmistakable. (Try it by tapping a rule on the desk or clapping hands.)

If a skilled Morse operator were ever in that situation I'm pretty certain at least simple messages could be communicated that way—almost anyone will recognize SOS, skilled operators will be able to do better.
The point being, the "few hours" can be at any time from when the solar panels stop filling the outbound power grid connection, or a trickle all night if that is what the market needs.

I’m curious whether you’ve seen kids learn to swim with that approach? There are definitely some kids that take to the water easily and push forward on their own, but I wouldn’t say it’s the norm. More often it seems like fear of going underwater especially needs a period of steady, concentrated effort to get past.
Sorry, I haven't spent any time with LISP.

I do however want to write a dialect of it, though mostly for the sake of naming it 'Lithp'.
Productivity has to incorporate some notion of deployment. As was standard for that era, Delphi/VB ignored this question completely. Time to deploy your app? If you made a simple zip utility, no problem, copy a single EXE onto a network mount somewhere inside your firewalled LAN. Windows has a pseudo-filesystem embedded into the binary which just about services for loading icons and strings, that'll do. Something more complicated, with DLLs and registry entries perhaps? Buy a copy of InstallShield for hundreds of dollars and learn InstallScript. Not only was there nothing in between until MSI and WiX came along but right up until the mid 1990s Microsoft saw the internet as this exotic fad, and using networks for software distribution was considered unworkable due to low bandwidth. Software was for CD-ROMs and shipping meant physically putting it on a ship.

Problem is, iteration speed mattered more to people than almost anything else including raw productivity. The world changed faster than Delphi did. Borland could have recognized the trend of hacking browsers into making apps was representing some fundamentally unarticulated need and come up with e.g. an Object Pascal interpreter. They could have done some sort of "Delphi Browser", for instance, and it would have gained adoption, but their codebase was fundamentally oriented around producing native Windows apps so it would have been difficult to make that move. Plus, Borland were basically guests on the Windows platform and tended to follow Microsoft's lead. Microsoft were pushing ActiveX as the way to bridge the web and the Windows world; Borland realized too late that ActiveX wasn't going to meet people's needs. They saw the web first as not a competitor, and then later as a mere carrier for Delphi apps, and then later still pushed using Delphi for writing web servers but its strengths didn't apply there.

So the lessons I took away from this were really about unarticulated preferences that you have to learn about by watching what people do, not what they say, and also the overwhelming importance of deployment - still a blind spot for most web competitors today. Up until last year if you wanted to use a Delphi-like platform with web-like deployment where apps are always refreshed on launch there just wasn't much out there. Even Electron only offers fully asynchronous desktop-style updates. I have a little company that makes products for fixing deployment of desktop apps (within the constraints of the native platforms), which adds a web-like deployment mode called aggressive updates (https://hydraulic.dev/). With that an update check is done on every launch, so you can iterate very fast as long as your users restart the app from the time to time or of course you can force it when the time is right, no different to requiring users to close and reload tabs for a SPA.

Anyway, I disagree that the main thing they lacked was mobile + DPI. Delphi, VB, GTK, Cocoa etc had lost the desktop before smartphones mattered at all because they lacked a good deployment and update system, and the ability to push out fixes and changes instantly mattered more than all the other features combined.
> The insistence of the JSON-people to sabotage any kind of data validation is absurd to me.

I don't understand what you mean by this. JSON supports schemas which can be used to validate input. It's not super advanced, but it's functional.

as can be seen to the comments to to my comment, there are quite a number of ideas on the ontology of the XML format. when a single screen worth of text on my phone can hold at least 3 strong convictions on how to use a format, then it is doomed to fail.
In some countries there's zero IPv6 on mobile despite good progress being made on fixed line IPv6.

I literally showed you how it’s cheap even if you use agricultural land. I don’t know if you’ve ever been in an airplane, but the vast majority of our country is empty or farmland. It’s just a tiny crust of civilization surrounded by wilderness and farms. And typically, a solar farm is going to have less impact than intensive agriculture. In the United States, land cost for utility scale solar is just not a real constraint at all.
The central dogma has been known to have several two-way violations for a while now.
This is a good point. There's a hidden cost (energy consumption) which we will eventually pay for.

However, even in the 1:1 case it means I am training myself to become a "prompt engineer" rather than to be an actual thinker and problem solver. As long as there will always be another system for me to depend on, maybe that's ok. But as with people who never learned to read maps and navigate without GPS tend to be very confused and lost when their phone dies, I would like to be able to be a useful human even when the power is out.
It's a suggestion, not a mandate. Don't adopt it if you don't like it. Geez
