I'm confident that a comprehensive study would show that on average humans are worse at detecting people of color against dark backgrounds (if we agree this is code for "people with highly pigmented skin" and not Asians or Latinos). There is just much less contrast to work with, and dark skin also makes facial features stand out less (which is an issue because faces are the thing humans can recognize best).

There is a discussion we could have whether we want to measure self-driving cars against an ideal perfect baseline or against the status quo. But of course the ideal case is much easier to define, and has fewer things that make some people uncomfortable.
Javascript is a client-side language, you don't have control of the software stack, thus (ideally, if you want to) you have to write code to support every version, even a prehistoric chrome build from 2015 (be it directly or indirectly via transpiling and polyfills).

PHP is not like that, like in every other language where you can control the entire environment, it evolves and things break, and that's the way it should be, that's why we have semantic versioning.
There aren't any technical advantages, no. Perl's features are a proper superset of awk (by design!).

What's happened is that Kids Today (tm) never learned perl. So they're discovering awk as someone new to the idea of stream processing. And awk was a great idea for that, and it represented a genuine innovation worth emulating.

In the late 1970's. Then of course perl did emulate and surpass it. But then got forgotten. So kids are discovering awk instead. It's a little cringe, really.

It doesn't need to be defined at the outset, you can infer from the context. Claiming that something has not been "normalized" to the extent depicted, and responding "yes it has! In my small niche community!" is irrelevant. Small niche community is not society at large.

Yes, but non-const references are utter trash since you can't tell you're passing a mutable reference when looking at the call site, so for the non-const I'll always pass by pointer.

Const references are less offensive, but I'm not going to pass non-const by pointer and const by reference, that's just inconsistent for no reason.

If null is not a valid value, throw an assert at the beginning of the function. It's not like references can't be in a broken state, they're just syntax sugar for pointers (that also happens to wildly complicate the language's type system)
Sounds extremely like a false flag like I said, an exaggerated car crash followed by a pre-recorded message, nonetheless if true, whoever did it and pleaded guilty, should be punished, obviously not a genocide for a whole province.
I worked at an educational institution where we ran an academic-focused Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that was fairly large. Not quite 40k tables, but it had over 4k. To give you an idea of how this was organized:

* Most simple things like a "Person" were multiple tables because you had to include audits and historical changes for each field
* A "Person" wasn't even all that useful because it included guests or other fairly transient entities like vendor contacts so you had an explosion of more tables as you classified roles into "Student", "Faculty", "Employee", etc... (many with histories as above).
* Addresses and other non-core demographic information were usually sharded into all sorts of categories like "primary", "parent's", "last known good", "good for mailing", etc... (more histories, etc...)
* All coded information like label types such as "STUDENT", or "MAILING" were always handled as separate validation tables with strict FK constraints and usually included extra meta information like descriptions and usage notes within parts of the system.
* Each functional sub-system (HR, Payroll, AR, AP, etc.) had its own dedicated schema.
* All external jobs, processes, and external integrations were configured separately.
* All enterprise integrations usually had a whole a dedicated schema for configuration.
* Most parts of the interactive web UI were database driven (Oracle's Apache mod PL/SQL) with many templates and other components stored in large collections of tables.

I'll stop there, but basically just imagine a very large application that tries to be 100% database-driven. That's how you get a lot of tables.
It’s counter argument by example. Very Serious Scientists argued that heavier than air flight is impossible while birds were flying outside their window. Likewise, I am 100% confident that it is possible in theory to drive a car without the assistance of LIDAR or RADAR.

Does this mean current systems require this or that? Nope, but making the claim that all systems must be equipped with a certain technology seems short sighted, particularly when the proven counter example is putting a few million miles on the road every day.
I think you need to define what is a complicated code base here.

Visual Studio works fine for millions of lines but I am sure the difference in experience can vary wildly.
They can’t waive the weight limits. Planes have very narrow design parameters around weight. If you add more weight, you need to add more fuel. And then fuel itself weighs a lot, so the more fuel you bring, the more fuel you need to carry the weight of that fuel.

Airlines don’t fill up the plane’s fuel tanks to the top like people do with their cars. That would greatly increase fuel costs due to the aforementioned reasons. So they try to calculate the exact amount of fuel they need for the trip and then add a safety margin. If the passengers and luggage are a lot heavier than expected it delays the flight because they need to add more fuel.
Hiring internally...

I would recommed not allowing serious internal candidates to interview external candidates. They all too often sabotage, or outright veto, every such threat to their promotion.

This may be awkward, because they may know most about the technical details of the role.

I would also exclude anyone who thinks they should get the job, when they are already ruled out, ab initio. In fact, especially exclude them, because they have precisely the inflated ego and expectations that might trigger a veto.
There are also a lot of companies and people working with modern PHP frameworks. I’ve never had the displeasure to work with code bases older than a couple of years.

My experience with PHP/Laravel has been that Laravel is an awesome framework on what is nowadays a ‘decent enough’ language.

For comparison, at least PHP has first party type support nowadays, whereas Rails does not.
However I think we all agree that playing video games are significantly more normalized than having an OF account.

Leaving your phone behind is really where it's at.

Your parent is making this point about how when you go to the office, in addition to your commute, there's an extra 30 minutes of stuff like getting dressed and making coffee.

OK - 30 minutes.

This year, I went from an average of 4.5 hours a day of phone time to less than 2.5 (it's still dropping).

Two more hours every day to do whatever I want!

Show me any other "time hack" that saves 14+ hours per week.

I think I'll get my phone time down to 60-90 minutes eventually (basically just time spent eating meals alone, plus a few essential app tasks).

My days feel positively endless now. I finally read books again. 250 pages this weekend on a whim.

You can squeeze a phone addiction or a commute into your day, but not both. Of course preferably you have neither...
Hi,
I already support typescript execution in http://chatcraft.org/ via wasm esbuild.

Runno is really cool as it will also lets me support intepreted languages like Python and maybe even golang(assuming i can have a wasi binary produce another wasi binary).

From docs:
Currently @runno/wasi supports running only unstable and snapshot-preview1 WASI binaries. The snapshot-preview1 standard is more recent, and preferred.

Where does one see what's part of snapshot-preview1? My google-foo is failing me.
Awesome! I've been meaning to replace my usage of Python/JavaScript for tasks (which I believe) are more awk-shaped.
This seems like a pretty poor article on a pretty poor research subject.

The way I read it is something like this...

Some researchers got their hands on software that purports to do similar stuff to what self driving cars might also do, but crucially isn't the same as what the cars actually use, and then extrapolate the results into the headline-like title of the research paper: "Dark-Skin Individuals Are at More Risk on the Street: Unmasking Fairness Issues of Autonomous Driving Systems". That's justified isn't it? After all, all software in a category is more or less the same program and the car company software and their research subject software all runs on computers? Right? Must be valid... clearly you can make factual assertions on that kind of extrapolation about computer systems and software.

Then some bright-eyed-bushy-tailed reporter comes along and applies the criticality of the typical college educated/professional journalist, which is to say they carefully considered the headline they could write, but otherwise just took the word of the researchers that something resembling knowledge was actually gained by the study. News is delivered! Job done!

Look, sarcasm aside, could I have read/understood things incorrectly? Sure... I'm not an expert in this field. Could this be a problem in production-used-in-the-real-world pedestrian detection systems? Sure. But insofar as I can tell, the best the paper could be telling us is that racial biases in pedestrian detection systems is a viable possibility: not the assertion that "Dark-Skin Individuals Are at More Risk on the Street". It might be true, but I don't think these researchers know that any better than I do. Of course, "Dark-Skin Individuals Could Be at More Risk on the Street" isn't nearly so catchy or attention grabbing, is it?

And who knows... maybe this research team should pick up the search for low temperature/low pressure super-conductivity... sounds like they have the right temperament.
Ugh. Posts like this are well meaning, but destructive. Why would you learn after work? Why do you strive towards something? Why is it important to learn, and constantly evolve? Are you really just doing it, because everyone else are, and you feel like you _have_ to?

It's poisonous, because you end up blaming yourself because you are not living up to constantly changing external demands.

It's okay to say no to what challenges your well-being. Otherwise you'd be at risk of losing your own autonomy. Accept your limitations, cherish them, and know you don't have to (or even can) change them.

I'm not saying you should say no to everything, but not everything is necessary.

They can't manufacture them in quantity, but qualitatively they have surpassed 80's era weaponry. From ICBMs to cruise missiles and SAMs, they are a step above what they had before. Tanks are improved as well. The Su-57 appears to be a competently designed 5th gen aircraft, and Russian helicopters are logical progressions of USSR designs.

What Russia can't do is afford any of this. Forget the sanctions, their economy is small, and not willing to under go the hardships of the communist era. So they've been forced to use older gear, and their newer gear has been crushed in combat.

And don't forget that most militaries have old gear. B-52, B-1, B-2, etc are old old airframes. M1 is an old tank design (though it has been upgraded heavily). Bradleys are an old ICV design, again upgraded heavily. But the US still uses M113 from the 70s in some units, the Blackhawk and Apache are from the 80s, and we have ships in the USN that are almost old enough to qualify as senior citizens.

Microsoft created SAL so you can annotate pointers to instruct the compiler to put up warnings or even errors for null required fields:

_Success_(return) //out parameters should be set if this returns true
bool tryGetValue(
_In_ Map const* map, //pointer is for input only and cannot be null
_In_ char const* name,
_Out_opt_ Data* value //pointer is for output and can be null
);

If you pass null for _In_ params, the compiler will warn or error. You return true without setting the _out_opt_ parameters, the compiler will warn or error. You can pass null to _out_opt_, and the compiler will warn or error if the function body doesn't properly check if the parameter is null
This is the default behavior. There is an env variable to store the data to disk.

> which is apparently disputing the claim that child trafficking doesn't even exist?

The troublesome part of that note is that "the movie accurately depicts" the issue. The following note has "these books are obscene." The first is a little bit different in that it is straightforward and factual, but with the (missing) context of the tweet it was probably thought to be an irrelevant insult i.e. I bet the tweet wasn't about the proportion of black children in single-parent households.

It's obviously a party split in a way, but to my eyes it isn't about assigning people to a party - it's finding people who hate current parties rather than people who love them. That is to say: polarized individuals. I think it's an accident of history that people who despise Republicans currently have their opinions fairly well-represented by the Democratic Party, but on the other side, people who hate Democrats aren't very well represented by the Republican Party. The Democrat-hating base is unruly, and I think it contains far more people who also dislike or are neutral toward Republican politics and politicians.
Exactly, this is just what we called "crowdsourcing" a decade ago.. nothing even remotely to do with crypto, its mindset or values
C is great, agreed. That's the procedural paradigms I mentioned. But the others work very well if used appropriately.

> Why do you think the industry keep circling back on old stuff?

What does this even mean? Can you give some examples?

> Look at how much time we lost with OO

Okay, what do you mean by 'lost' because I find OO to be extremely useful (if used appropriately). Ditto functional, ditto logic.

Are you suggesting we should scrap all of these and just use code procedurally and nothing else? Because that would be a massive step backwards in my view, and I do have decades of experience so I can't understand why you're so negative about anything else but procedural. And maybe C++ was just a bad implementation in hindsight. But it took us a long way.
How does this statement relate to the comment you replied to? You suppose only juniors appreciate newer versions of PHP? Or seniors don’t know how to port code bases?
What exactly would it look like to be an authoritarian liberal?

Americans have a particularly confusing form of "liberal" today, but at least my understanding of the two terms has them pretty specifically at odds with one another. I'm not sure how an authoritarian would have centralized so much power when the focus is on individual rights and freedoms.
Hatred? There were solid arguments that the thing was a scam, at least big parts of it.

Maybe "scam" is a harsh claim, but "outrageous and frequently false claims made by devs lacking solid credentials to match them".

And there were several comments and articles debunking these claims.

If “crypto values” literally just means “decentralisation” then just say decentralisation. It’s weird to invoke something that adds absolutely nothing to the comparison (unless, say, you’re trying to hype it up)
Community Notes are a neat idea but

a) Twitter has too many overlapping actions. Community Notes is just "credibility-oriented reply" in the same way that retweet is "quote tweet without comment".

When you see a tweet you disagree with and wish to correct, there are now three different ways to register that disagreement -- QT, Reply, and Notes. That's kind of clumsy.

I feel like from an ergonomic perspective, better integration and surfacing of credibility scores as related to replies (and better integration of the QT and Reply features) would've been cleaner.

b) I'm done with X/Twitter now that it's a monument to Musk's internet poisoning.

Why? Correct me if I’m wrong but this language has literally no unique attributes that would make it different than D or Go, so you won’t improve as a developer from it at all.

Not trying to dissuade you from it, afaik most of the initial false claims have been debunked and now V is a real thing, but what is left from it is.. really not that interesting to my eyes.
Kinda. I can agree that for example Laravel is better than what we had in the past, but it's still worse than lots of non-php alternatives we had available for years. It's still playing catch-up, and that's assuming you get to work with new frameworks rather than writing a WP plugin or something similar. And it's hard to talk about modern php when probably most of the code out therei s still written like it's year 2000.

"The pilots who have had their records examined are military veterans who informed the Federal Aviation Administration that they were suitable to fly, but didn't disclose that they were also receiving veterans benefits for various disabilities that could prevent them from effectively sitting in a pilot's seat."

This is just my anecdotal observations, but I've seen that military veterans are extremely adept at gaming the system to their benefit. They are able to maximize disability benefits as well as GI Bill benefits. I've known and worked with multiple veterans and each one of them gamed these systems to maximum benefit. It also appeared that they coached each other on how to obtain maximum benefit.

With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if the health issues in this article were largely exaggerated specifically for the purpose of maximizing benefits.
