What do you mean lots of work? They replied to a few customer service responses and then sent an email with some proof to the relevant authority and got paid. That's a good amount of money back for a fairly small amount of work.

Honestly I'd spend a lot of time even fighting to get $5 back from the company. Sometimes it's just about the principle of the matter and not wanting to be another person they exploit for cash. Because if they do that to 10,000 people that is a lot of extra money they just scammed. I don't like letting companies get away with abusing me like that.
Am I seeing two people debating which language is faster without quoting any numbers?

On the moral side, its clearly a no go to sell your friends stuff/data.
On the practical side, its really hard to argue that you are not aware this is happening.
Can you elaborate?
Note that Intel is only using a translation layer for DirectX 9, and from what I’ve heard online the result is bad performance. DirectX 11 and 12 are both implemented natively.

Yeah, popOS is basically ubuntu without snaps, with the latest nvidia drivers, and a scheduler that gives better gaming performance (gaming on linux has really come a long way since the steam deck has been released).

Before this, I used arch, until a simple update rendered my system unbootable. When I asked an arch dev why they were shipping a master branch grub build, I was told that if I couldn't easily recover a corrupted grub install I should consider another distro. I installed pop the next day. I've been very happy with it from that point forward. If I had to use something else it'd probably be mint.
Are there programming languages which handle equations?
Take for example the equation

U = R * I

In many languages, I have to re-implement this equation according to which values are known and which are not. Something like this pseudocode:

var u = r * i;

...

var r = u / i;

...

var i = u / r;

Are there systems that allow me to only program the equation and compute the missing values depending on what is known? At least for simple algebra with real numbers?

> please don't say just hello in chat

In a great many chat (as in one-to-many group chat as in, say, IRC -- where the 'C' stands for "chat" btw) it's perfectly okay when people join and start with just "hello".

I think TFA meant to write: "please don't say just hello in PMs to coworkers".

Not all chats revolves around leveraging synergies to maximize shareholders value while at work.
I've talked about this before, but if you want to be a serious, complete programmer, you need to read The Unix Hater's Handbook. You don't need to agree with it: you could disagree with every word and that's a legitimate, defensible position. But you do need to read it.

The reason you need to read it is because there's this hacker mythos which has accumulated over the decades around C and Unix where they are perfect, infallible tools and everything that came after them is an inferior compromise in some way. And the entry of Microsoft just made it even worse, because once Wintel took over, if you criticized C/Unix you were "obviously" an enemy agent speaking in bad faith. Reading UHH can dispel this and give you some perspective that C and Unix are just tools, they "won" for many reasons which have nothing to do with their merits, and they suck for many of the same reasons that our other tools suck. You don't need to stop using them, but you should stop pedestalizing them.
Metafont (and derivatives like Metapost) do that.
I've essentially gifted Deutsche Bahn several hundred euros because it's like drawing blood from a stone and I was genuinely having mental health issues because of it (on top of the stress of having travel plans completely upended).
That's what I was getting at with the fidelity attribute.

Before you could observe an event and remember it (poorly) and share it (slowly) but technology, for better or worse, has greatly increased the possible fidelity of that memory, which can now shared endlessly without losing quality.
One thing to keep in mind is that the union is presumably made of their members, and should act in alignment with some decision making process they arrive at together. Bargaining and figuring out goals shouldn’t be something for just the Bargaining Committee to do in a vacuum. If they valued the “wrong” things, then maybe they were still right for the majority in the union.

(I’m a proud technology union member myself, and we are currently in bargaining.)

I mean, it is clearly the case that ultra-selective schools are benefiting a lot from the preexisting quality of their students, and they wouldn't obtain the same outcomes by taking a random high school senior.

But the students who apply to Harvard and fail to get in probably go to schools that are only a little less prestigious than Harvard, instead. Like, I didn't apply to Harvard, but I did apply to Princeton -- and got rejected. I went to Williams College instead. If my income is similar to a Princeton's student's post-graduation, is that because I did it all on my own, or is it because Williams is also a highly prestigious school that provides similar benefits to Princeton, albeit perhaps a bit less?

Meh. There’s just too much technical debt all over the place. Not even BSDs suffice from the POV of what an OS can be. A new modern OS written today with lessons taken from the past would solve the inherent pains of all existing ones. My dream is to do that. Just a dream rn tho.

To a point. A modern C compiler generates mind boggingly fast assembler. However, some languages make it way easier to write sophisticated algorithms more easily.

For instance, suppose you're writing a program to find the nth Fibonacci number for whatever reason. In Python, the naive version might look like:

def fib(n):
if n <= 1:
return n
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)

On my machine, that takes about 12 seconds to find the 40th number. Altering that slightly like:

from functools import cache
@cache
def fib(n): ...

makes the whole program take about 30 milliseconds total. The 400th takes about 32ms and emits an answer that won't fit in a 256-bit int.

Of course you can do the exact same kind of caching in C! I mean, the main Python interpreter's written in C, so by extension any algorithm you can express in Python you can also express in C. It'd probably be a lot faster, too!

But in practice, if I'm writing that in Python, I can use the obvious algorithm, spent 10 seconds slapping a caching decorator on it, verify that the end result is ridiculous fast and efficient, then move on to other problems.

Any reasonable C compiler will emit assembler that's vastly better than anything I could come up with. Conversely, I personally can write far better algorithms in Python than I could in C, because it's easier for me to express cleverness in that language. Those algorithmic improvements tend to have a far better speed payoff than I'd personally get from a more efficient implementation of a crappy method.
What do you mean by 'write DSLs interactively'?
Ah, so you are pushing back on the requirements. "I'm not going to implement the requirement (two random dots added) as it would break my requirement to only have straight lines in my implementation."

Some good points here, although frankly academic rigor has fallen even further out of favor in the five years since Caplan’s article so that would probably strengthen his case.

Painting higher education with such a broad brush is guaranteed to create an intractable debate. There are students for whom college is a necessary and beneficial step towards a successful career, and students for whom college becomes an albatross of debt with little tangible benefit. Identifying the conditions which give rise to the worst-case outcomes seems like a more worthwhile course of inquiry.

Lets be fair, Microsoft entered this industry by innovating their way in.

The original XBOX having built in Ethernet and a HDD meant that they were first to establish a proper online service and then they built out the whole infrastructure to enable voice chat and social. Reminder that this was before Skype, Facebook, and even Myspace! They essentially built the first real online voice communication and social network.

Contrast this with the PS2 which was a bolted on online experience. You had to buy separate equipment to connect it, the support was limited to a handful of games and each game had their own custom infrastructure. It was a legacy console in this regard.

They followed it up with the 360 adding a whole layer to the gameplay with things like achievements, expanding the console to include things like Netflix while further solidifying their online offerings. The 360 helped make online video streaming into what it is today. It allowed people to spend more time doing things with their "box" when they didn't want to play video games. Then came the massive support for indie titles and the app store. Wanted to play a classic? You can in minutes with the app store. (Sony eventually copied this but MSFT was first out of the gate).

Sure Microsoft fumbled multiple times, which company hasn't? You can list numerous examples where Sony, Nintendo, and Sega have messed up. But Microsoft has definitely innovated and helped move the industry forward.

“Patronizing” seems to be a matter of taste. I’ve never considered it to be patronizing; indeed, that’s often much unlike articles which have their title changed.

As far as simply differing, much of the time there’s a character limit that’s hit. I’ve seen many posts with comment from the poster calling out their edit to the title and the character limit is usually cited.

It would be especially difficult to keep the character limit (I think there are legitimate design reasons for this) while also requiring that the title matches the submission as closely as possible. Who decides what words are omitted without it potentially being any of: patronizing, inaccurate, or misleading?

I'd say I've got a pretty good intuition about what kinds of questions or topics are better going to chatgpt with vs kagiing, but I can picture that based on people's preconceptions and levels of tech literacy generally there would be a variety of different ways it gets used, many that don't feel worth it.

Right now I have say 10 conversations a week, mostly going into detail and different angles about the topics in a way that search couldn't, and I think that justifies the cost for me for now.
No, they do not know anything about security. Find me a CISO or VP of engineering that will dare to openly claim they can protect against a hacker/red team with $10M and would accept a challenge proving that. Frankly, I doubt you could even find one at $1M, let alone $10M as most Fortune 500 CISOs my colleagues and I have talked with usually peg the number at closer to $100K. Attackers with literal chump change like $10M are viewed as impossible threats, it is ridiculous. The entire commercial IT industry is systemically incompetent by multiple orders of magnitude with respect to actual software security.

Colleges and universities in the US also advertise job placement rates for their various programs.

Any argument for the intangible benefits of a liberal arts education must, at minimum, recognize that these are all secondary benefits.

My favorite (almost) obscene quote I found reviewing code, although I never could find the back story to it:

You did!

I think this also points to the statistical significance. Code that has been worked over a couple of times and/or has been worked on by different people for all those hard and fringe problems will be better, but also accumulate more comments venting the trouble people had fixing them. It does not seem very interesting.

Naive being the key point.

Worth mentioning that totalitarianism is often characterized by being the rule of the stupid. Shortsighted actionism and signaling in spite of reality with the resulting corruption growing like a self destructive cancer. Bonhoeffer’s Theory of Stupidity puts it great and Meerloo giving a vivid description of what kind of societies this creates.

edit: Willful naivete is not a good life choice. Staying away from darwin awards and are not accidentally creating a fourth reich both require ongoing effort, no falling asleep on the wheel. History tells you this is a valid risk if you dont consider certain things when acting. With the guys having fought the nazis advising you to be less stupid to not repeat that. Seeing how horrible that was, maybe at least try to stay away from that instead of just intending to. This is insanely bad on the severity scale and justifies some effort. Reality is clearly lacking a bright red warning sign here with technology offering ever greater levers for less and less intentioned actions.

I can not overstate how bad of an idea it is to ignore that out of group think/tribalism and ego. It simply does not work and in hindsight you could have known. Failing so badly that nobody risks a "having told you so".

First you define North in terms of arrangements of continents (saying north is where northern continents are, cool) and then you use English etymology as definition? Lol.

Probably? I literally quoted it.

You claim I misinterpreted that phrase but you don't give a better option. All definitions of north are by convention or relative to space (so if it flips then "northern arrangement" of continents you see from the moon will be southern)

> Well, yeah, but that is missing the point rather badly. There is nothing you can do in any high level language that you can't do in assembler. The only reason high level languages exist at all is to make programming less annoying.

Oh, there's plenty of stuff you deliberately _can't_ do in high level languages (compared to assembly or low level languages).

Eg Python doesn't let you use naked jumps (also called GOTO). Haskell doesn't let you mutate state willy-nilly.

> You don't need all the angle-brackets and quotes and commas.

Well, you have quoting and quasi-quoting. Very useful, and they use some more interesting syntax.

Yes, S-Expressions are a reasonable syntax. I used to like them a lot. But I also came to appreciate more traditional syntax when switching from Scheme to Haskell.

I was not arguing against S-Expressions at all. Only against 'homoiconicity' being a coherent or useful concept, or saying anything deeper about a language.

As I said earlier, if you start from C, change its syntax to use S-Expressions (rather simple to do), and allow S-Expression based macros (that use the same C-as-S-Expression syntax), you still don't have a language that's as pleasant to work with nor makes macros as easy as your favourite Lisp.
