Note that Java fits your definition (though it allows one extra type of variable to be accessed, members of the current instance). It is probably the only popular language that supports local functions but not closures.

Also, C++ doesn't suffer from the problem of accidentally capturing variables, since it requires you to explicitly state which variables from the external env you want to reference (with the [a, b] syntax at the start of a lambda declaration; a lambda starting with [] fits your desired constraints).

In the Finnish market the situation changed drastically during 2022-2023 as the energy market futures went through the roof and fixed-price contracts became crazy expensive (10-20× "normal" kWh prices). I'm not sure if there are any official public statistics, but a recent news article [1] puts eg. 30% of consumers on spot price contracts, and during the spring they were the vast majority (70%) of new contracts.

The news media reporting is mostly about the people locked into two-year 30-60c/kWh contracts, and not the people paying the recent <3c/kWh spot price averages.

Recently [2] a combination of several simultaneous planned/unplanned outages and low wind power generation have bumped the spot market prices back up again, so let's see.

> Vectorization is a huge subject in many different kinds of software, RDBMs, scientific computing

A lot of which is written in C. C compilers have support for vector instructions.

Vector instructions can also be used via language extensions (that can look like a macro library and can be made to work without vectorization).

> C signals aren't a required part of the language.

ISO C defines signals, which are a required part of a hosted implementation; same as printf or malloc.
It is not a "full blown" signal specification like in POSIX. sigprocmask isn't in C, neither is sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.

> like processor interrupts?

Yes. Interrupt handling requires some processor-specific code to which the interrupt is vectored first; it does certain necessary things like save the machine state and acknowledge the interrupt. From that, C code can be dispatched. The meat of the interrupt handling is in C. Lots of systems are written on the "bare hardware" like that.

> this discussion is about language, not libraries.

Since I'm an actual Lisp person, I do not care about this difference.

"Language" is just the core special forms handled by an interpreter or compiler; library is everything else, including the run-time support needed by those special forms.

The "special forms" part of C brings little to the table in terms of concurrency other than the ability to write reentrant code. From that departure point, you can do a lot.

> There shouldn't have been a thing like "not required part of the language"

Interfaces and constructs that are described in a standard, but optional, still exist. There is a difference between that and not standardizing it at all.

Optional or not is mainly just a game of words: what can be implemented and what can be left out such that the implementation can still call itself "conforming".

If you make, say, threads required, then what it means is that C implementations for small systems will opt out of implementing that anyway, and just not be able to call themselves conforming.

Nothing changes; just the game of words and labels plays out differently.

> Everything short of stuff like HTML becomes a concurrent language

That is false. For instance Awk isn't a concurrent language. We can't write a re-entrant function in Awk that can be called safely at interrupt time.

Most of what defines a concurrent language is in the model of the run-time. For instance, the concurrency in Java actually comes from the JVM, and there are other languages on the JVM which borrow the concurrency model.

> Exactly the same is true for threads and atomics. A "standard compliant" implementation doesn't have to have them. Portable code shouldn't use this stuff.

If a program uses ISO C threads or atomic and needs to ported to some system/compiler where they are not available, it is likely possible to implement them in the program itself. I could probably knock it off in under a week.

Your comment is being downvoted because it's low quality. It's basically a drive-by hit on SS with no context.

I will upvote it and add some context.

* thefitness.wiki is maintained by Reddit's r/fitness and it's a great resource.

* Parent had to use an archive.org link because thefitness.wiki long ago removed the post he linked to.

* I suspect they removed the post because thefitness.wiki now has a 'Basic Beginner Routine' which is similar to Starting Strength, and tells you this is what you should start with. https://thefitness.wiki/routines/r-fitness-basic-beginner-ro...

* I've done both BBR and SS. I prefer BBR but they're both fine places to start. They both basically have you cycle through the staple compound lifts and if you're not already trained this is the best thing you can do for your body. The health benefits of simply doing each compound lift at least once a week plus eating a ton of protein cannot be overstated, they are life changing.

* I'll editorialize here but I feel both BBR and SS are designed for younger, fitter, more hardcore "beginners" than me, especially SS. I was a 40+, out of shape desk jockey and the cadence at which they want you to increase weight was too much for me. Also with these big lifts you NEED to get the technique right or you WILL hurt yourself.

I think you assume way too much out of this: The way I usually hear this expression is like "I have tried to do a backflip, failed and broke my arm", or so. So the blog writer likely did something way out of his league, like a fancy trick, and it is not a fair assumption to think that he lives such a sedentary lifestyle that any kind of movement would cause him harm, or even thinks that way. One can be very sporty, yet do some stupid one-off movement that will cause harm.
Devil's advocate - I personally wonder if having the average person be able to understand math is essential sometimes.
Between smartphones having conversational agents that can do math to things like tax/tipping calculators being in-built into systems, does the "average joe" need algebra.

I'm sure we've all seen the viral math problems that show that even now the "average joe" doesn't understand even PEMDAS - and most of the time these are working functional members of society.

Will it cause problems "upstream" so that colleges/jobs need to include the course training? sure but isn't specialization what careers are about? The existence of computers doesn't mean that everyone needs to know how to "learn to code" as an analogy.

Would it?

Read in small amount of code (or execute directly from flash) & use that to initialize hardware, might just be faster than read memory dump of already-initialized system.

Also the "read memory dump" method would include code & data structures which were used on a previous run, but may not be needed for the next run (or only much later). And not re-initialize hardware which may have gone flaky, or changed configuration in the meanwhile (like USB port with different device plugged vs. state that memory dump reflects).

Rebooting is just an all around cleaner method to return system to a known state. But of course it all depends on hardware specifics & what type(s) of initialization is done.

This is a very silly argument to be made against a lifting program which has verifiably moved countless people off the couch and into resistance training. The reason people recommend Starting Strength is because it's what successfully got them into lifting.

I train 5/3/1 now, I have for years, I love it, and I absolutely do not recommend it to beginners. I've tried. Their eyes glaze over when you start talking about "training maxes" and "periodization". They get confused and lose whatever sliver of motivation they had. Save the optimization for when they're bought in. Any beginner is gonna make progress on essentially any structured program just due to neuroadaptation. Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
Yeah I actually appreciated how easy it was to create daemons with Upstart. I had no problem with it, I just remember a lot of people pissed off that Canonical wrote their own init service instead of using systemd (which they eventually moved to, and which I recognise people also have very strong feelings about).

You have failed to understand the point. The Taliban are running Afghanistan again because they learned the lessons of previous conflicts. It's not that the US is clueless as GP avers, but that others have caught up and tactics which previously worked no longer give the S the edge that they used to. GP was suggesting that the US can't bear responsibility for previous actions because it has bumbled in more recent times, an elaboration of the 'I'm baby' defense.

This is just some wiki related to reddit?

5x5 program got my bench to 275 when I was younger. I think it's fine.

Really after years of trying all these systems the only that will work for sure is getting in the gym consistently and lifting heavy. Everything else is mostly a distraction. Like min/maxing in wow
I think that would potentially help, but there's still ambiguity in the SSPL that might scare off some parties. But at least the SSPL would cover customers who aren't making modifications to the source code, but using the platform internally, which I think would make this option safe for the vast majority of use cases.

Another way you could approach this would be a permissively licensed free version and different licenses for paid versions (basically, open core). My company uses this model, and I think it works extremely well because it means that large regulated enterprises or government customers (who don't use SaaS services) don't feel any hesitation to adopt the free tier, and then when they're ready to pay, their use case of an internal platform is already supported under the higher-level enterprise licenses. No legal risks involved here.

I think these customers would be extremely well suited to your product because these customers are very risk-averse and the promise of having a neutral cloud vendor with an open codebase means less risk of vendor lock-in or a commercial rug-pull down the line. So I would urge you not to leave them out! In my experience, vendors often treat self-hosted installs like this as second class citizens, but large regulated enterprise and government customers often can't use SaaS services and are an enormous market that will love you if you make this easy for them.

Right, another way to phrase it:

2. When throwing out ordering, we collapse BG and GB together... but forget that the result needs to have double weight.

I did SS too in the beginning. I didn't see much progress and that has also been verifiably the case for others too, if you are using anecdotes as your verification process. That SS works is despite its quality, not because of it. And so what? Should we not try to improve programs just because they work in some cases? We don't have to use 5/3/1 then, we can use even the basic beginner routine as recommended on r/fitness, it is pretty good while discarding the problems of SS.

I wouldn't say avoiding others during a pandemic is agoraphobia, it's a rational response.

Knowing there is a 55% week coming up, and it is OK and that it is perceived effort so you can lower weights if you feel shit, makes this very stick-to-able.
> given how much easier it is to scale renewables anywhere from multi-gigawatt down to

Easy to scale nameplate capacity? Yes. Easy to scale generation? No.

Right now, as I write this, in Germany:

- Wind: 66.5 GW installed capacity. Generation: 1.82 GW, or 2.74% of that

- Solar: 69.1 GW of installed capacity. Generation: 0.38 GW, or 0.55% of that

- Hydro: 9.78 GW of installed capacity. Generation: 3.09 GW, or 31% of that

So Germany is busy burning gas (generation: 7.6 GW), coal (generation: 14.2 GW), and "bio fuels" (generation: 5 GW), and importing electricity from as far away as Norway
I don't think a house can survive 100C.

For the battery to reach this temperature, the sustained air temperature has to be over 100C for several hours. At this temperature, most of the plastics will start losing structural integrity. Windows will crack from thermal expansion. And water boiling in the pipes will probably be the least of your worries.

> Instantaneous flame temperature may peak above 1090 K.

A gas stove flame is at that temperature, but it's also very thin. Think about how long it takes to boil a pot of water.

Now move that pot away from the direct flames, just a few centimeters. It's likely that the water won't ever get to the boiling temperature.

When you can't walk up a hill, hold a job - the world becomes hostile. Even going down a road that isn't asphalt but stones is a challenge for some people. That is a consequence of young and healthy people designing our world and the things in it, while others have to adapt. It is not about privilege, it's about smart design and understanding that the problem can very easily apply to us all. One fall down the stairs, one stroke, one bad day at the gym - you have injury for months or for life. It's a real danger.
