I disagree. Wikipedia says:

> Onion soups have been popular at least since Roman times.[1]

The reference points to https://worldinparis.com/french-onion-soup which just says:

> Onion soups have been popular at least since Roman times.

without references, so the historical references are just 'trust me, bro'.

And it's also a confusing handwavy statement. What does it mean? Were the Gauls cooking onion soups or the Romans? Were they cooking it in the geographical region matching today's France? Or was it brought from Rome?

These types of statements are triggering my pseudohistorical nationalism bullshit detector.

In the past you had reckless manufacturing and extracting -- chemical spills and dumping, burning of an incredible amount of coal, deforestation, etc. But it was tapered by fewer people overall with disposable income, and the lack of throwaway culture and waste, less plastic, etc.

Now we have more efficient processes with less waste, we have renewable sources of forestation, renewable energy sources, less coal, less chemical spills and dumping, but every body can afford and have the things that were once considered luxuries. Everyone has an HVAC now. Everyone purchases tons upon tons of little plastic pieces of shit and throws them in the trash. If you have a blueberry with a little bit of mold on it, now you throw away the pack. You have to fight for the right to repair your cheap plastic shit with silicon parts in it. You are expected to replace your plastic shit every 1-2 years with more plastic shit. We drink water and soda out of plastic bottles in absurd amounts. We use more electricity than ever before.

There has to be a balance somewhere. We have to have a culture shift at some point.
Disclaimer: I'm not very experienced in Go.

Go routines were pretty directly inspired by Erlang processes, so in terms of primitives I'd say they are very similar, aside from go lacking the distributed features you already mentioned.

Where Erlang/Elixir add value beyond go routines is what OTP (kind of the standard library) provides on top. Pre-built abstractions like GenServer for long running processes, Genstage for producer/consumer pipelines and supervision trees for making sure your processes haven't crashed and restarting them and their dependents if they have.

I heard many times Amazon is a pretty bad place to work at. I wonder what percentage of people will decide to leave because of this. As someone who has been 100% remote for 6 years I can say with confidence, there are people that work best remote, and there are these that work best in the office. It is also a function of your seniority level (I'd much prefer to be on site as a trainee/junior). But forcing a one size fits all solution is the worst solution there is.
My understanding is that dispatch were told by a caller that someone had a gun. It might be best to wait for the 911 calls to be aired to get a better idea of how this unfolded. There could be trolls on both sides of it.

I'm curious; what's the ICAO airport code?

It's each person's measure of how much you go "hmm...! That was sooo good!" after eating 1 oz of a certain type of food.

In that example, 1 oz of beef contains 10 of my taste units while 1 oz of almonds contains 0.5 of my taste units.

Since each person's taste units are different, humans have decided that the best way to allocate food is to sell it on something called a "market", where each person can express their own individual taste units, or "preferences", by buying the food on this "market".

The price of the food on the market reflects the scarcity of the food and everything it took to produce it, although sometimes there are distortions which should be corrected externally (e.g. by a government), not by restricting the types of food we consume, but by addressing their root causes at the source (e.g. by taxing water consumption to address the tragedy of the commons, or by taxing CO2 production to address global warming). These taxes should be increased up to the point where consumption/pollution becomes sustainable.
Accusing on of the first pioneers of Open Source as being "exclusionary" has got to be a joke.

Because it's ludicrously expensive and only economically viable for cities. Also, there's enough water to supply cities, just not enough to supply cities and agriculture. Given that, if cities need more water, it's cheaper to buy out some farms and take their water rights than it is to build a nuclear + desalination plant for a few billion dollars.
Thanks for your feedback. As I previously said in another comment, the article was written in one go and I probably have missed the point of "be minimal in the description". I felt that readers should know a little bit more about obfuscations techniques, their use and why these are deployed into prod. While I am writing, I tend more to be "story-teller" to immerge readers into the flow, but I do admit this article is really difficult to read. I even deleted some paragraphs because it was going to be huge.

Were there times someone called something an Andon Cord situation and it turned out not to be? Of course! And that is fine. Were there "serial false andon cord pullers"? Not that I'm aware of - and if there were, the solution would have been to have an adult conversation with a focus on getting alignment. Pulling an Andon Cord was not for things you merely disagreed with, for that we relied on "disagree and commit" whereby you could bring data up later show it was a bad decision, but for now, work on making it work until you have that data.

I never claimed to be anything, and I have no dead or flagged comments.

But I'm an asshole. I'm very rude and blunt. That's a given. Never claimed otherwise. But I'm not the leader of a community I'm trying to build. That's you. You need to take a higher road if you want to build a positive reputation. Or you can roll around with pigs like me and get a reputation for being muddy.

The fact that you turn it back to me personally when you should be standing on the merits of your work says everything I need to know about you and your community. Change my mind.
Yeah. There is a phase of discovery - we simply don't know what (some combination of) the project goals, the user needs, the market, the business model and the architectures possible. By doing something we find out. often our guesses are good. Often the company politics mean we build some atrocious monster. The point here is we are elimating what's wrong (the choices are /right/ not (provably) wrong/ (provably) wrong/ and not even wrong (as a famous physicist would mark his students)

Once this is done (maybe proof of concept, maybe research maybe years of fighting the politics) we can build out something that's not wrong.

If we time it well and get it right it's a unicorn. It's Facebook. if we time it right but get it merely not wrong, it's friendster or myspace.

And of course by the time we have learnt all that, mobile hits and we have to relearn
Yes, I supposed you could compile rust to .NET if you boxed everything (including simple integer fields, to allow taking their address as &i32) and used inheritance hierarchies for enums. Though that approach will still fail as soon as you encounter unsafe code with pointer casts, so I doubt you would be able to use the standard library.

Then what happens to it?

For example just looking at the prevailing winds in the San Joaquin valley I'd expect a lot of water that evaporates there to end up as rain in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Does that in fact happen?

If so, where does that water go after it becomes rain?

If not, where does it go?

The Earth's water systems as a whole are a huge collection of cyclic paths, with many branches. If you artificially take water from someplace and drop it someplace else you have almost always just borrowed the water and it will eventually end up back where it came from.

"Eventually" could be a very long time though, and if we borrow enough water for long enough it is possible we could permanently change some of the cycles so that some places never recover their water.

I've not been able to find any analysis that looks at this from a whole systems approach and figures out if we are borrowing enough to permanently change things, or how long it takes borrowed water in specific cases to effectively return.

I feel like the team has learned a lot from their experience, and are taking the best from languages like Python, Rust, Swift, Hylo (Formerly known as Val), and are taking a really nice pragmatic approach in implementing them so that the language is approachable, but also very safe and fast. Once it's out, I hope someone sits down and makes a SwiftUI-like cross platform UI library with it ;).

I have to say, that privacy policy is pretty comprehensive, and the questions they are asking seem fair.

They don't need to prove that they NEED it, just that they have a legitimate interest in collecting it which outweighs your right to privacy and your objection to it.

Just because Signal does not collect it does not mean that WhatsApp don't have a legitimate interest in collecting it. In particular, a for-profit company has a fairly compelling argument that 'business intelligence and analytics' is a strong legitimate interest, especially if, as their privacy policy suggests, they only process personal data to produce summary statistics.

You're better off just finding out what data they collect, and then trying to work out what you object to specifically.
I think that what you do is work in the way that is best for you and brings you the most happiness and fulfillment.

I've tried for ~1 year to like and use WSL2 on a daily basis (on two different systems none the less) because I already use Windows for other stuff, so might as well try it.

But they make it really hard to rely on. From random shutdowns, GPU unreliability to data corruption and performance differences with just using Linux directly, I had to move away from it and back to Linux because I felt like I slowly losing my mind troubleshooting these issues.

Latest issue was that the virtual disk file continued to grow beyond 500GB large while Linux still reported that it was just 20% full from the inside. So, reading about things, I gave optimize-vhd a try and boom, full disk file was corrupted.

So, gave it a try, hit a bunch of issues, left and not planning to touch it again until WSL3, and I'll be much more cautious then.
While I agree in theory, in practice this will lead to bad actors ranging from trolls to cyberwar troops exploiting it immediately.

Because Ruby was tied to Rails, whereas Python had both a Rails competitor, not as popular but decent enough to be used by several big companies (Instagram, Pinterest, Spotify, Disqus, Bitbucket, and others), plus libraries for science, and later for the rising field of machine learning and even AI.

That said, Python was always more popular than Ruby to begin with (more jobs, more programmers, more college CS classes, more books), even in 2000-2010. Ruby was liked, but was only hot because of the Rails connection.
> OK. Or just declare your parameter as IEnumerable<>? This has the effect of restricting the operations on the incoming collection in the same way.

It does not work that way, because it is an `in` parameter, thus you can still accept any mutable type (including an array) which implements the essentially immutable IEnumerable interface you require.

Now if it was about a return value, it would be a different story.

edit:

Still what you suggest has its merits in the other direction, as it gives the caller a guarantee that the passed in collection will not be modified inside. Had to untangle broken code (without unit test when i got it) that was called like something `CalculateCost(SomegraphData input)` and while its name (and xmldoc) did not suggest, it did subtle modification to the data it got handed in... I was very upset about that legacy codebase I just inherited when I found that...

As far as actually using bridge in a job interview once. I did. In bridge there's a rule where if your partner gives you a hint not via the bidding, you must take the opposite approach if logically possible. It is called "Active Ethics". I had an interviewer try to lead me by the nose to the answer way too hard, in a debugging interview. So I'd stop and check EVERYTHING I could think of first before doing what he said. I told him I was doing it after the interview, and to look up active ethics if he needed a further explanation.

Got the job.
