I don't see them drawing any distinctions from C++ or Rust there either. It really sounds to me like most of their low-level experience is in C, where the contrasts they appear to be drawing really do apply.
You would never be asked to pay $100 for a trip from JFK to Manhattan--unless you're in an Uber!

NYC taxi pricing is more transparent and more predictable than Uber. Until recently the fares were printed on the cars.
True! Advanced systems already have some degree of fault tolerance built-in, and the encryption of enclave memory is there against cold boot attacks and such.
I've been using jj daily for close to a year and without a doubt, it blows the Git UX out of the water. I'm very particular about breaking up my changes into atomic commits, so a killer feature for me is automatic rebasing. Since conflicts can be recorded in commits, you never have to stop a rebase to fix conflicts like you do in Git and Mercurial - history operations work exactly the way a human would expect. Modify a commit? Delete it altogether? jj just automatically rebases all of the descendants for you (and yes, it handles multiple children like Mercurial evolve and unlike Git rebase).

On top of this is a great set of primitives for manipulating commit history - `jj move|restore` to move|copy changes from one commit to another, `jj split` to break up commits, `jj rebase` to move commits around. _Everything_ is inside commit history (no "worktree", no "index"), so one set of commands and flags will do everything you want.

The operation log is also incredible. Most operations can be undone with zero problems. Compare that to Git, where your best hope to fix a bad rebase/commit --amend is to scrounge around the reflog for the right commits and manually fixing up your refs.

The biggest pain points for me are:

- Automatic working copy commit sometimes tries to commit things I don't want. Usually .gitignore has things covered, but sometimes moving files around and rebasing commits breaks things. Fixing up broken commits with `jj split|restore` is pretty easy though.

- No rename detection. jj doesn't handle merges as elegantly as Git. jj devs are thinking about this, but haven't quite cracked it. I'm not sure how long that will take.

2 doesn't work since you actually have to list what you use the data for and keep that list up to date. You think large companies like Google didn't already try that?

> Which do you do?

Given that 2 goes out of its way to violate the law and make your users miserable I would suggest 1. But that is just the opinion of a non lawyer.
Rust actually already does this to some degree, using LLVM’s noalias annotations (after many years of exposing latent LLVM bugs and having to disable them). There’s more that can be done here, see e.g.

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/16515

There are also soundness issues around async/await:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63818

LLVM’s aliasing model isn’t really optimal for a language like Rust with very precise memory dependence information, but using anything else would mean making a whole new optimizer/backend from scratch.
There's an editorial in the Washington Post today from Michael Bloomberg pushing for RTO in the federal government, and generally, everywhere else. I wonder who is more influential?

I think, it's more like, it's not pure meritocracy as well. It's kind of a mix between meritocracy, community role model and a sprinkle of nepotisms.

While it's ingrained in the culture, to be the best you can be for certain communities, having tons of people with the same ethnicity/community/caste benefit you as well. People don't go climbing up the higher echelons on pure meritocracy.

There is a reason Indians are over-represented among other Asian ethnicities and that is not pure meritocracy.
> Does he actually spend any time working?

This seems the exact thought process of management wanting people to RTO.

They forget there's time, and life, after working hours. And the less you need to commute, the more free time you have to actually live and enjoy life.
EU just requires explicit consent for non-table stakes/non-required persistent tracking.

> The commonly seen method of using a checkbox and a simple information note such as “remember me (uses cookies)” next to the submit form would be an appropriate means of gaining consent therefore negating the need to apply an exemption in this case.

If it is 'table stakes', like "remember me" checkbox, you don't need a separate cookie banner

The new generation of cheap Chinese soldering stations are remarkably good. They're fully compatible with Hakko T12 or JBC T245 irons and tips, so you can use a genuine tip with pretty much identical performance at a fraction of the cost.

The Miniware-style portable irons aren't quite as good, but they're incredibly convenient because they'll run from a USB-PD power bank or a surplus laptop PSU. A portable kit that fits in a laptop bag and costs under $100 isn't dramatically worse than a high-end soldering station for most applications.

For SMD work, the most important tools that you haven't mentioned are alcohol swabs and flux. When you're dealing with tiny pads and fine pitches, there's very little margin for poor wetting - you need scrupulously clean and generously fluxed surfaces to get a reliable fillet.

There are also a variety of inexpensive temperature-controlled hotplates available from AliExpress, which are excellent for simple reflow soldering or pre-heating a board with a lot of copper. It's not absolutely necessary if you have a toaster oven with a trustworthy thermostat, but preheating makes a lot of jobs vastly easier and less risky.

Hi all, I'm a software engineer turned grad student (dual MS in Econ and CS) turned data scientist. I'm mainly looking for data scientist jobs, but I'm also open to anything in data engineering, ML engineering, or even plain old software engineering (as long as it's not pure frontend). Right now I'm working as an economic consultant, but I'm looking to switch to something more technical. If my experience sounds right for you, go ahead and shoot me an email!

Is that what you want? Because I never wrote that. Go back and read what I wrote.

To be clear – I do want there to be an option to create anonymous accounts, but they have to be clearly marked as anonymous. Again, go back and read what I actually wrote so you can engage properly in the discussion.
dotenv and direnv are more than enough for this task, I think, but you can make it as complicated as you care to with similar tooling that pulls secrets/config from the cloud (Doppler, parameter store, etc.)

Most places I've worked at have created tooling that more or less merges the two - sane defaults and non-sensitive values go into a `.env` file of some kind (.env, .env.development, whatever), and then a tool merges a subset of that config from a remote store which contains the stuff you don't want committed in the repo.

Usually used for connecting to a remote dev or staging instance if you can't or don't want to run the entire stack locally.
I will be surprised if it's possible at all.
And I think right now such a back-end would not be high on Pijul priority list.
But if I am wrong, I would be very interested to learn about it!

The last time I used the language, it was still using a garbage-collector and there were talks about transitioning towards a new way of doing things - I assume that ARC/ORC ended up being that destination.

Now that ARC/ORC is considered "complete," are there any remnants of the old GC still in the language, or has the entire ecosystem hopped over?

The "consent" popup is not GDPR conform. Rejection should not take more effort than accepting. That said, of course you should never trust Google, simply clicking "accept". Especially when they make it take more effort to reject, you need to reject.

Website analytics can be incredibly useful for designers and developers; giving those up would be a huge hit to a lot of companies, large and small, so it's understandable that they're not going to do so.

Random example from more than a decade ago: I worked at an online retailer, and we did a nice redesign of our cart page. Looked great, much more readable, but we started losing sales. Did people hate the redesign? It was certainly easier to use and navigate.

Our marketing guy looked at our analytics and saw that there was a massive drop in checkouts from users whose displays were set to 1024x768. He changed his resolution and, sure enough, the 'Checkout' button was something like four pixels below the bottom of the screen, if you were using Internet Explorer or Chrome and you had your browser maximized.

I get that analytics can seem creepy and gross, and stuff like that is 'none of [retailers'] business' to a lot of people, but without those analytics we would have had no idea why we lost those sales, and would have had to simply revert the redesign with no real opportunity to change it.
lol, I thought of an idea: You assume the role of your favorite senator and your job is to fillibuster a bill. You have to talk into your mic and move your character for as long as you can. As time goes by, objects are thrown at you, if you get hit, game over. If you stop making wavy hand gestures, game over. If you stop talking, game over. All roads lead to the bill being passed anyway...
We have written pixie: https://github.com/treeform/pixie . Pixie is a 2D graphics library similar to Cairo and Skia written entirely in Nim. Which I think is a big accomplishment. It even has python bindings: https://pypi.org/project/pixie-python/
Following up on this: As someone who uses Python with NumPy/SciPy heavily, are there any Nim libraries that would make the transition smooth? Libraries that can help with e.g. sparse matrices, linear algebra, differential equations, etc.

That's only for websites that insist on tracking users first thing before hello. Nothing stops 99% of the sites from having an opt-in link somewhere in the footer, and minimal defaults, other than that they insist on convoluted metrics for their little brochure thingy. It's only really necessary to sell impressions or worse, not to make functional or even beautiful sites.

Sure, I know there's counter-examples, there are sites that do interesting things with personal data, even. But I know the vast, vast majority of sites that have these banners are not those sites, and I don't accept these corner cases as a fig leaf for this elephant (whose name is incompetence and greed) sitting on the couch, moaning about this law, since day one.

Unfortunately, that is only correct for the example cited in the article I linked to. The RFC being drafted contains attestation possibilities for both clients and servers, as per sections 4.1. (TLS Client as Attester) and 4.2. (TLS Server as Attester).

Nothing in this prevents servers from discrimincating against clients that fail to produce TPM-backed attestation that they run exclusively the exact software builds, cryptographically signed by a central arbiter of trust, that the server expects/requires them to.
Analytics can be useful! They're not 'table stakes' though. The website will continue to work without them.

If you want analytics, just get consent for be tracked.
Yeah, the downside of them is that they're widely cloned by various manufacturers, so it can be tough to know exactly what you're going to get.

Mine seems fine too, but it's a good call out to check.
It's a deeply stupid local minimum that the EU has ended up in because they were afraid to mandate details, and also afraid to just ban tracking for advertising purposes altogether. So you end up with a situation where:

- most people are tracked on almost all websites by a small number of US megacorps (e.g. google analytics could probably reproduce complete browser histories for most Europeans, and most likely does for some intelligence agency)

- AND most people have their time wasted by consent banners

- AND small companies worry about compliance costs (my least favourite aspect of EU law is it doesn't understand the need to exclude small companies from complex requirements)

It's non-confrontational to a fault and therefore ineffective.
Don't shoot the messenger. 99% of cookie/tracking dialogues are illegal, and are only there as a fig leaf because the website itself is engaged in illegal data processing in the first place.

That's how a society set up for mostly taxis could be better. But if we get to include the benefits of walkable societies and redoing all existing infrastructure in our arguments, surely going to mass transit is better still? And, unlike repaving all the roads to be narrower, it's something that can be added on top of existing infrastructure.

All this assumes that "it" is a dichotomy: either something has "it" or they do not. But it seems pretty clear to me that "it" must be a continuum even in humans because it is very hard to draw a sharp line between a fertilized egg and an adult where a human comes to have "it". (This is the reason that some people conclude that fertilization must be that line, because there are very few other viable candidates.)

There's nothing precluding people from mentoring others over the net, through chat and video.
