You can blame Southwest or corporations all you want. But even in the 90s, people did not support HSR overwhelmingly as per your article.

And in today's socio-political climate, a politician has to simply call HSR "socialism" or some trigger word and even so called liberals will rally against HSR.
You updated a bias that was originally strengthened by meme reinforcement more so than firsthand experience, after acquiring enough new facts and ideas and life experience to recontextualize it. Sounds very normal, why not ask instead why it doesn't happen more often?

Hamming distance (and popcnt) is also used in gradient descent scenarios.

NSLs and FISAs are insidious and powerful tools that the US Federal government utilizes against the populace.

Once the government sets about forcing requirements, those two tools ensure that the companies, organizations, or individuals, cannot speak to the requirements or that there was a discussion at all.

Never attribute to malice which can be easily attributed to stupidity. Secret courts, and secret squirrel government activities against its own populace are definitely stupid.

I’m 53, and I doubt I’ll ever find a job in tech again. I only started getting responses when I removed the earliest 15 year’s experience from my CV, and as soon as I hit the screening stage and my age is known they lose interest.

Ageism can get fucked.
I feel that at times projects should start focusing on improvements on stability and ability to maintain code, instead of adding complexity to complexity over an already complex set of resources, the devops industry is out of ideas and keeps creating issues and then trying to sell products in order to manage that complexity, In my projects I manage CI/CD with very small overhead, why I am writing this complaining message of hate of devops industry is because when you go to work for companies of people who just adopt anything thrown at them then everything seem so senseless

If you are out of ideas to improve products, pause, think and improve code and other stuff, it’s not written in store that there should be new functionalities every day
Dopamine's Role in Unrewarded Learning
In my opinion, Microsoft is big and dumb, and they're evil in overt and obvious ways. Google, though, has lots of smart people, so they're cunning and evil in calculated and somewhat hidden ways.

I mentally make these distinctions with other large companies. For instance, I consider AT&T big and dumb, whereas Verizon is super evil and likely has a Department of Evil (and I wouldn't be surprised if this were actually true).
Ah yes, pop count. Back in my days as a CPU logic designer on refrigerated, walk-in, scientific mainframes, I was working on a vector processor that was intended to be a competitor to Cray-1, but sank due to poor marketing and a collapse in oil prospecting... but I digress. A few of us on the team had come from previous CPUs at other companies, and argued with the architecture committee that we should have a vector pop count instruction in order to get some interest from No Such Agency. Shot down, of course.

When serial No. 1 was in initial benchmarking, two guys named Frank and George with No Last Names, who lived somewhere near Fort Mead, said they would buy at least one if we added vector pop count.
2020-12: Some research done with human subjects regarding how the brain reacts when we're reading code.

> The researchers saw little to no response to code in the language regions of the brain. Instead, they found that the coding task mainly activated the so-called multiple demand network. This network, whose activity is spread throughout the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain, is typically recruited for tasks that require holding many pieces of information in mind at once, and is responsible for our ability to perform a wide variety of mental tasks.

I work at one of those fintech companies using Haskell in production.

Hiring was actually Haskell’s strong side. I managed to hire 6 engineers in only one month. There were more than 50 applicants to the position. Just the idea of using Haskell in production is attractive to many.

It’s been a great experience overall. I worked at a python company before this one and it’s been refreshing not having unexpected runtime errors. Moving money around requires more robustness than your typical app.
The business I started in the 1980s was mail order and nobody knew my name, color, background, religion, sex, etc.

Today, with the internet, nobody needs to know anything about you for you to run a successful business.

You seem to require that I must be born wealthy. I was born on an Air Force base and spent many years living in base housing. If you're from a military family, you know that ain't wealthy and ain't the path to wealth.

My father grew up in the Depression, and his father apologized profusely to him for asking for a portion of the money my father made collecting scrap so he could buy food. My mother lost everything (and I mean everything) in WW2.

I've posted before about wealthy friends who came to America with a suitcase.

The idea you must be born into wealth in order to be successful in America is simply false. I know too many wealthy people (including Blacks and women) who demonstrate otherwise.

Here's a recipe to move from poverty to the middle class:

1. don't do drugs

2. don't do crimes

3. stay in school

4. learn what the school provides

5. get a loan for college

6. go to college, pick a major that pays well, learn the material rather than cheat

It's a pretty good default strategy. It doesn't take any miracles or unusual effort.

Maybe you should tell that to the millions of poor people attempting to get into the US.

Message-Passing Concurrency for Python (2014)
It's a useful if (as the author admits) hyperbolic metaphor. And really, no single metaphor (or essay) needs to (or can) address all relevant issues. But, I think the next thing that comes to mind after reading it (if, like I, you fundamentally agree) is, "why is it like that?"

Academia is, at the graduate level, one of the most fundamentally hierarchical, arbitrary, and unfair work environments. It is the very opposite of all of the progressive, power-to-the-people ideology that most of the people in it would profess to believe in. The reason that faculty are godzillas, is that the system is designed that way. I can believe that using this metaphor is a great way for someone (especially newly in the role) to realize their perceived power, and how to minimize the destructive consequences of that. But, really, the problem is that the way in which academia is structured is far more unjust and hierarchical than even the corporate world.
In recent PHPs, yes, as they've gotten a lot more strict.

Even in the previous major version (7) it's only a warning.

I agree that philosophy is likely the main cause of decisions like this, but JS is hardly unique in having it.
My trouble with it is that I think it's a distraction that allows people to feel like their voice is heard, but actually makes status quo results more likely because it simply shifts your vote to one of the two status quo parties.

I'm deep into P2P collaboration in terms of implementing aids for deliberative assemblies, or even complete implementations of different kinds of deliberative assemblies. When you study this stuff, you find first that it's still a very loose and new field of study that hasn't quite come together yet. Next, you find that there's a split: some people are trying to figure out the practicalities of implementing traditional deliberative rules in new mediums, aided by all of our cool devices, and even to experiment with those rules when things assumed by them have changed due to technology, e.g. asynchronous deliberation, or instant recall of delegates, etc..

On the other side are the "deliberative polling" people. They present themselves as looking for some sort of innovation in randomly selected focus groups, and ultimately, as looking for ways to essentially split a citizenry into focus groups, and to use those combined focus groups to either wield power as a government, or, more often, to advise a government. It sounds laudable, like a Delphi Method (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi_method) for non-experts.

But this is until you read their papers, and notice that the way they evaluate the conclusions of their deliberative group experiments is by how well the conclusions the groups reach agree with their hand-picked experts. Then you notice that what they're actually doing is figuring out frameworks that can guide randomly selected groups of people into predetermined conclusions. It's literally manufacturing consent by maximizing the feeling of participation that people have in ratifying decisions already made. Then you finally realize why Cass Sunstein is interested in it. They want to build a nation of grand juries.

I see ranked-choice voting as a similar tactic. It allows people to express their feelings without any danger that those feelings will have any effect.

edit: I'd also like to point out that in the UK, which has a long recent history of complaining about their FPTP systems, has more viable parties than the US even with FPTP, such as the Liberals who have been around forever (although they've only been "Liberal Democrats" since the SDP split from Labour), the SNP, and even single issue Brexit parties. Even their major parties, such as Labour, are to a degree composites, including things like The Labour and Co-operative Party.

The reason the Democrats and Republicans are the only real choices is because they fixed the rules, like e.g. against "fusion," which makes it so parties like Labour and Co-operative can't even exist outside of New York. The insane requirements for qualifying to run, the absence of campaign finance regulations, the fact that the government hosts their internal primary elections and marks parties on the ballot sheet... there are obvious ways to keep these awful parties from a lock on power, and they will not be done because these awful parties make the rules.

Miasma theory ruled from 4 BC until 1800s. Miasmata (airborne vapors, noxious, polluted air) caused most diseases. This encouraged cleanliness. Germ theory of disease replaced it.

"Malaria was prevalent in the Roman Empire, and the Roman scholars associated the disease with the marshy or swampy lands where the disease was particularly rampant.[13][14] It was from those Romans the name "malaria" originated. They called it malaria (literally meaning "bad air") as they believed that the disease was a kind of miasma that was spread in the air, as originally conceived by Ancient Greeks. Since then, it was a medical consensus for centuries that malaria was spread due to miasma, the bad air." [1]

> With yoga nidra, you stay awake

Huh I precisely use yoga nidra TO help me fall asleep.

It's so powerful as a sleep aid that I resurrected an old iPod to hold a single yoga nidra track and I keep it plugged into a speaker on my nightstand. Of the maybe 200+ listens in the past few years I've heard the end of of this 20min track less than 10 times!

I was in the army back then and Im 43 this year.

We had 2 guys in my basic training platoon who pretended to be gay to get kicked out. It backfired as they were held in reception for several months before finally being sent home (long after basic/AIT had ended).

Compare that to a woman (we were the first co-ed basic training barracks) wboy was caught staring at other women inappropriately in the shower who was on a bus home the next day.

If they thought it was real it was instant.

I truly feel for you, and things like this are what make me mad when I get told today that young gay people are oppressed, or harassed. Your generation truly was, and I'm also glad the worst today's generation can complain about is pronouns, because to me that really means we have come quite far.

I hope things turned out better for you
There is strong evidence, by the opinions of developers working in those industries. Because rust imposes more work onto the developer, it takes less time to write C++ and debug any safety issues than it does to get anything working in rust. There are C++ game engines with far fewer man hours put into them than bevy that have produced much more spectacular results.

Stop taking that quote out of context.

“Existing modern languages already provide an excellent developer experience: Go, Swift, Kotlin, Rust, and many more. Developers that can use one of these existing languages should. Unfortunately, the designs of these languages present significant barriers to adoption and migration from C++. These barriers range from changes in the idiomatic design of software to performance overhead.”

Their recommendation is to use a language that is available now, one of which is rust, instead of waiting on carbon. They didn’t imply any technical advantage of rust over carbon, because there aren’t any. Being less flexible isn’t an advantage.

I just finished a site they commisioned me to port to Jekyll from WordPress ([0], live version at [1]). And though I wasn't much happy about how Liquid makes the layout templating look dirtier quickly I still understand why static generators were a great idea and offer much more flexibility and reliability than WP - and to be honest I prefer Liquid's mess than PHP's mess.

Granted, at least Jekyll was conceived as a blogging system and quickly falls short when needing to do a bit more complicated stuff (like having multiple sections of content from a single Markdown file [2]), and alas it seems it's struggling to keep in pace with the numerous competitors it has now.

> Chaos

I think there's more like a semantic slipping over this term, so that chaos ends up passing for another kind of order.

Chaos is chaos. It's a bunch of really random stuff happening within an undefined, undetermined space, with randomly variable means. Like a landslide is chaos. The arrangement of stuff post-landslide will be a complete, incoherent, unpredictable mess.

Today's normie "scientific" definition of "chaos" is what stands for "weird" or more accurately, ASYMMETRICAL.

More philosophy, please.

Angle brackets are merely verbose sexpr's. And syntax is both meaningless and hugely impactful: semantics are the most important thing, but we spend all our time interacting with the syntax, so it makes sense to optimize for it.

Webdev is mired in non-essential complexity still. Small, focused tools that let you enjoy working on the web should be celebrated. Besides, HTML is merely an agreed-upon protocol for distributing hypertext. The workflow for authoring it is bound to be very personal.

Joel Spolksy has an interesting quote about this:

"Third, and trust me on this, there’s still an incredible shortage of the really good programmers, here and in India. Yes, there are a bunch of out of work IT people making a lot of noise about how long they’ve been out of work, but you know what? At the risk of pissing them off, really good programmers do have jobs"

Very interesting game! Do you have any plans to make the RISC-V version? Thank you for sharing this game!
Sure, I'll try. Imagine we had two functions already defined:

get_current_username: Returns a nonempty string iff user is logged in.

get_balance: Returns a user's "balance" of some sort of credit or currency. Negative balances are possible.

In Python, where "falsiness" is very clearly defined by the language spec, it would be idomatic to write:

should_render_balance = bool(get_current_username() and get_balance())
Ideally, this. Realistically, not sure about this. It might be a bit of a crapshoot. It might yield very rewarding "jobs" but it's difficult to put your mind into it, when you just want to make a living. It just feels like you have to cross certain wealth threshold to do this. It might not reflect reality but this feeling of "I need a 9 to 5 to just keep myself afloat" is real.

The best part is that Microsoft and Google are working together towards the end goal of locking users out of their own machines.

Microsoft is really pushing for its trusted OS platform, with a completely locked down kernel, that will grant them full control over what can and cannot be done on the computer. Google is pushing for the same, but in the browser space. Except their Web Integrity effort has no chance of succeeding unless there's an OS support. One guess who'll be providing that.

Then, once all is in place, there will be a fully opaque content delivery pipeline from online servers to users' HDMI monitors. No peeking.

And that's just one application of the trusted OS. Once people lose control over their machines, it'll open the floodgates for lot more nefarious opportunities.

But, yeah, this new Microsoft is so white and fluffy that it's almost unbearable.

If you're not interested in random and creative acts of programming, I think you're on the wrong discussion site.

This is for fun. It takes todays headlines and rewrites them. Like I could tell that the "The Mars State Fair Sees Many Galactic Party Candidates but Only One Zorgon" was a rewrite of "The Iowa State Fair Sees Many Republican Party Candidates but Only One Trump".

It retells the present in a future context. I enjoyed it.
I think Microsoft’s web stack is underrated, and was perhaps a factor there as well. I’ve seen unusually fast products written in the “dreaded” ASP.NET. Visual Studio is a much more powerful IDE than vim/VS Code, and imo C# is a much more scalable language that vanilla JS. Typescript bridges the gap pretty well.
