Exactly, this is one area where the political left, particularly in the US, are failing terribly on child safety.

I'm in the UK and we're doing better here though, the main left-wing party is backing away from the particular ideology that has enabled this. I was going to vote for them anyway as we desperately need our public services to be restored and welfare for those less fortunate in society to be improved, but I'm pleased they're moving towards a sensible, harm-reducing stance on this issue rather than assuming everything the gender activists say is reasonable.
I suppose that this is needed if you want to guarantee that all the constructors that are executed before main() are executed in a certain order.

I have not searched the latest versions of the C++ standard to see if anything has changed, but in the older versions of C++ it was impossible to ensure that the global constructors will be executed in a certain order (to be able to satisfy dependencies between them).

For static variables that only have initial values taken from the executable file, without initialization code, I assume that something like this is not necessary.
> Network operation. X will always be better here because it was designed to be

Excuse me, but BS. At least for anything of actual relevance.

X11 networking works okay for stuff that looks like a classic X11 app. That's things like xcalc. Any modern text editor, web browser, or anything else is going to be dog slow.

X11 has a bad networking protocol that's way too latency sensitive, and as a result is nigh unusuable without something like NX, which puts a local cache in front to get rid of that latency.

No, I'd say X11 wasn't designed to be run on the network, in that no particular care seems to have been taken to deal with latency and bandwidth issues. It's more of a feature that could be had for free, because if you can use an UNIX socket, you can also use a TCP one with minimal work, so might as well allow it.
This kind of take really annoys me; your pipeline can be as complex or simple as you need it to be for your specific use-case. If you want to build an application using static file, or a little Makefile that uses a single esbuild command, or a hulking Webpack configuration with 30 plugins – you can easily do any of these in line with the demands and complexity of what you are trying to build.

Also, evaluating tooling based on how easy is is to create a "simple hello world" is only useful if your work involves creating "simple hello world" applications, which it doesn't.

Although many religions encourage the raising of families more than secular culture does, I have not really seen this "have kids or go to hell" thing you're describing.

They don't want you to sleep around, and in some religions they don't want you to use birth control, but there's not a lot actively saying you need to have kids.

Sometimes having children is strongly implied for those who follow the path of marriage (and may officially even be the purpose of that), but there are typically also paths where people are expected to remain celibate.

Arguably, say in the Catholic church, there is too much emphasis on the latter, what with celibate clergy and everything. In LDS I would say family is more of an ideal. This extends even into the theology. Catholics say "'til death do us part", but LDS say husband and wife go to heaven together and stay married there forever. Hinduism overall seems less obsessed with correct behavior (it has dharma, of course, but no simple hell thing), but it also provides both householder and ascetic paths.

I think religions sort of take it for granted that enough people will want to get married, and that if you get married you'll have kids. Instead they're worried about self control.

Little did they anticipate that the superego would maintain its iron grip without help, that the rationally-planning ego would have the means and motive to skip kids entirely, and that the id would get so distracted with hatred of other people that it wouldn't even try to bring them together, even in unwise or destructive ways. But that's where we are.
Protecting bike lanes is a hugely impactful problem that is also far more expensive to solve. That doesn't mean we should be dismissive of a solution to a less impactful (but still important!) problem. Think how many orders of magnitude less money it would take for a municipality to buy and loan out some bike sweepers than to fully redesign its bike lanes.
I still wonder if we end up in a place--perhaps for a significant period--where you end up with AVs on a subset of roads perhaps in a subset of conditions. I don't live in a city so I have different use cases than those who do live in a city may have, but being able to be driven on the highway in most conditions seems like a much easier task than the general case, applies to conditions where an accident can be serious, and would actually be really useful for a lot of people.
Here (Grenoble, France), we have a bike highway (it’s a suburb-workplace interconnection), and it becomes a bit sketchy when the crushed leaves start glazing in the fall.

I think the big issue with self driving cars isn't that anybody doubts that they are safer in standard situations.

The issue is, that I can totally see a self driving car fuck a rare obscure situation up in the worst way — where even the worst drivers would probably do okay.

E.g. let's say you are in a tunnel and there is a fire, you car blocks the fire truck. The normal line of thinking would be to throw all existing rules of traffic out of the window and so totally illegal maneuvers that might even damage your or other peoples cars. A self driving car might be able to do that, but it cannot make the judgement needed to know when to throw all rules out of the window.

Now in that example the driver (if they exist) could take over, but there are similar examples where there is less time to decide and/or a switch to manual might not be feasible. Think of all situations where multiple dangers have to be weighed against each other, for example a rock slide where a street is partly blocked (enough for the AI to stop) but there is still rock coming down the mountain. A situation where a criminal gang blocks the road, in order to make you stop and rob you — this being a thing that could become easy game when self driving is wide spread enough.

The problem with self driving cars is that even if you statistically manage to be safer over the typical journey today, people still wanna know that it keeps them safe in very atypical conditions as well. And that as of now is not the case.

It's the usual "convenience vs. security" debate all over again
No because the cars are self-selected to only drive on roads that the companies consider safe to begin with. Self driving tech currently operates on probably less than 1% of American roads, and that's a fraction of roads on the planet.

>Waymo and Cruise have driven a combined total of 8 million driverless miles

For context, the average American drives about 13k miles per year, so this is about as much as much data as a village of a thousand people produces annually.

The actual experiment that would produce relevant data: A substantial mass of driverless cars on a random set of roads under random conditions, including with a high enough concentration that the cars need to interact with each other the way humans need to interact with other drivers. (obviously we know how this would end, which is why nobody attempts it)
two things: 1 most crashes are very minor (e.g. getting into or out of a parking space) and also most crashes are from people who are some combination of under 20, over 80, drunk, or just atrocious at driving. most people's crash rate is a lot lower

>I find it weird that there's no way to specify a future date/time with respect to a specific timezone, e.g. Europe/London.

It makes sense to me that it is not provided as it is something fundamentally different. ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 are just textual representations of specific[*] time moment (or interval), that could be easily converted to different definitions of time moments.

OTOH, specifications like '2030-07-01 18:00 local time in London' are not a definition of a specific time moment, the are really a description of a condition, and we cannot resolve it to a specific time moment before it happens.

So these are two fundamentally different concepts that does not make sense to put into one category.

Google has probably had 100% of every American adult and child in the past 20 years, and they haven't made a dent in payments, even with their own phone ecosystem. This 65m/330m back of the envelope stuff is pure fantasy.

Unless people have no option but to use it, it won't work. For example, the onl reason I use Paypal is that 20 years ago, Ebay didn't offer an alternative. Today, I use it because I can unsubscribe from stuff with one click. I'd never use it otherwise.
This article, like many, ignores the reality that lots of setups -- especially workstations with several high-res monitors -- do not work at all, or work with enormous jank-ass caveats even bigger than the ones that come with using Wayland. (Which I admit are also hellacious in may cases.)

Case in point: I have to use Wayland, because otherwise my Linux machine just can't reasonably drive my monitors (one 8K, three 4K, and one high-refresh-rate 1440p portable). Upon logging into any modern Linux, like Fedora or Ubuttnu or whatever, X will freak out, jank out with its crank out, and -- only if I am lucky -- finally show the desktop.

If I want to switch some/all of those monitors to some other computer for a while... good luck switching back.

And there is AFAIK no distro that supports mixed 8K/4K/2K monitors with working font scaling using X.

So I need Wayland for all that. Extremely relevant technical merits, for me. Not maybe for you.

Unfortunately, my workflow also requires being able to do remote desktop, and share my screen during remote meetings. Which doesn't work a blood clot on Wayland yet.

The TL;DR is that both X and Wayland have awful, crippling flaws that prevent pretty basic things from working.

Windows has always been able to drive this same setup, and do all of these things, without problem (on the same hardware). Recently, even Macs (M2 onward) can finally do so. Linux cannot.

So there are two main graphics/HID subsystems for Linux, and neither one works well for modern desktop computing with high-end/new displays.

But, only one of them is likely to someday work well. And it isn't X.
For Context support, https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/42301 isn't promising, and https://twitter.com/sebmarkbage/status/1587615484870098945 explicitly suggests you might need prop drilling.

I'm really sad that tree-specific context for server components seems to be an afterthought. As the Twitter thread suggests, if you have something that can be used across all the server components for an entire request, you can use the cache functionality or rely on Next's URL parameters. But if you've relied on Context as a way to let deeply nested components access some kind of business logic that's specific to only a part of a rendered page, and if you want/need those components to be server components, you'll need to switch to explicitly drilling the props through.
I despise Teams but when I was forced to use it for work and screensharing didn't work, I had to flee back to X.

I think the reason is because we know the mind can take a lot more punishment than the body. Some people’s minds seem to have nearly infinite capacity for punishment, where a body can perish easily from a bad infection or wound.

> I do agree with you, except for the natural gas part.

I’m coming at this from the perspective of a very flat Canadian province (very little hydro potential, the math on even pumped hydro storage is miserably bad). I have not yet found an alternative dispatchable energy source for load following that would work here other than natural gas. If you’ve got something that is economically viable and commercially available in the <5 year time horizon I would love to update my mental model with it. It sucks for sure, I just haven’t found anything better yet that can deployed today.

Edit:

Definitely agree with you there! My wife and I are fortunate enough to live near a very small-scale ranch whose only real subsidy is that the wife works as a well-paid nurse. I’m generally a big fan of “let industries work out their own economics and if it doesn’t work out it can go away” :D
No that situation is fine. The problems start if you don't want to use GTK or Qt, because in that situation Wayland provides only a subset of features compared to X11 (like not universally supporting window chrome rendering, so a native Wayland application needs to render its own window chrome which won't look consistent with other applications).

I actually wonder what happens if you run a Gnome app on KDE, or a KDE app on Gnome on top of Wayland, does the title bar look consistent in that case?

I guess I also don't understand why there are even multiple Wayland display server implementations with different feature sets. As if desktop Linux wasn't already fragmented enough.

I get frustrated by pull request tab performance on real Github - those turbolinks are buggy as hell. But I can’t see myself using Gothub because it doesn’t support PRs at all!
I can see the frustration that causes, but as a Wayland user my experience is simply better. Screen tearing goes away, and the graphics look cleaner and crisper. I get it's a huge pain for implementers, but I don't see it failing with this improved user experience for most folks. I do miss XFCE, or I thought I would, but KDE is actually gotten a lot faster than it used to be and I haven't been displeased with its performance so that's a win too.

> So they say 1 crash every 60k miles (or about 5 years worth of driving). I really doubt humans have one crash every 5 years on average.

Oh not humans. Americans. Most developed countries are much safer. America has found a lot of exciting ways to make this worse, whether its choosing more dangerous technology, not prioritising safety in design, or just obvious stuff like oops we made it crucial for everybody to drive so now we have to let everybody drive even though that's unsafe.
I was not satirical at all. I was very serious.

It was lathered in sarcasm, in that I also believe that many (not all) of the 2A restrictions are unconstitutional and should be lifted. The sarcasm a rhetorical device highlighting how we allow pre-teens to view terrible images of women being, essentially, raped but have age restrictions on firearms (and alcohol and tobacco) beyond the age of emancipation.
I don't think those facts are incompatible.

1) You would need self driven cars to drive over 100 million miles to validate that, assuming that there have been no deaths from full 'self driving' (i.e. Cruise/Waymo rather than Tesla, which isn't level 4)

2) Depends what you call a crash - 1 impact per 5 years might not be entirely wrong... According to this link:

https://1800lionlaw.com/how-many-times-will-your-crash-you-c...

> The car insurance industry estimates that the average driver will file a claim for a collision about once every 17.9 years.

This matches me - I've had 1 crash in 15 years of driving which resulted in a claim (someone drove into the side of me), but there have been at least 2 other impacts which have not resulted in a claim (1 person bumped into the back of my car on a motorway and impacted but but no damage, and there was one incident where I accidentally scraped a car when parking and I agreed to pay the driver for repainting directly without going through insurance).
But for these types of analyses you have to take the average because autonomous driving will improve the safety of these “average” drivers quite a bit.

I get what you’re saying though. I’ve been driving for 20 years, have had a single accident (rear ended at a stop light, not really my fault), no moving violations, and have driven about ~300,000 miles total (sounds like a lot but I was a full time lyft driver for a bit).

I’m positive I’m an outlier but I’d also trust myself a lot more than some of the current autonomous vehicles. I’d still assume with AI assistance or partial autonomy, I’d be safer on average though.

The one silver lining is that this market seems to have broken the golden handcuffs on me. I’m not incredibly driven by money, and would gladly take a job I enjoy for less money, but oddly enough, until recently it was always easier to find money than a job I didn’t hate.

> I came across a fascinating masters degree in Coursera which allows me to earn a masters in a field I have no professional experience although I’m quite interested in. There was no requirement for a bachelor’s degree in that field nor the general tedious process of admission to a graduate degree. It simply required that you’d be able to keep up with the course work, like complementing knowledge you don’t have from a bachelor in that area by yourself. This is certainly a longer term commitment but for me sounds fantastic to get to a place where I could match software salaries without ever looking at a software company again!

I’ve wondered how this would look on a resume. “No I don’t have a bachelors, but I have a Masters in X. Wouldn’t this lead to some always conversations that would confuse and raise suspicion?

Not to mention, there exist airports that are jointly administered by multiple country. One example I know of is EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse, located a few kilometers away from the meeting point of the French, German and Swiss borders. It is located on French soil but administered by both France and Switzerland and has three airport codes: MLH for France, BSL for Switzerland and EAP as a neutral code. The national codes could be used as proxies for timezones if France or Switzerland ever changed their timezone, but what EAP stands for would be challenging to define.
