> I have fond memories of playing Spectre with networked opponents over LocalTalk.

I was in a gifted programme in primary school in the early 1990s. The teachers running it weren’t very computer-literate and expected the Macs in the classroom to only be used as a support for whatever non-computer-related intellectual activities. I got sent out of the programme back to the non-gifted classes for setting up networked Spectre and Bolo. They saw it as time-wasting gaming, but what fascinated me was that computers could be networked. I think that if I had been left to explore, I would have eventually been on the path to a computer science or IT education (and a much better salary).

(Not parent, but also worked there for about 2 years) The no-window thing is real and freaks people out, but each floor is very tall and the interior was open enough that it didn't feel claustrophobic. You're also in a zipcode that is in contention for "best in the world for whatever-you-might-want-to-do". If you ever got claustrophobic, a walk around tribeca usually would cure you of that real quick-like.

Now let's see if Tata Steel will be true to it's words. They are trying to do the same in the Netherlands where it has been proven that they are emitting significantly more hazardous chemicals than allowed into the air after having being given subsidies to reduce them. This has lead to a significant higher rate of cancer close to the plant. Of course the government has been looking to other way cause... Jobs.

In the meantime they are being out competed by the Swedes with their hydrocarbon plant.

I wouldn't trust Tata Steel with a dime.

I indeed recently noticed that we still only have a sugar jar for my parents in law. Nobody else’s we know has sugar in their coffee or tea, and we hardly use it for cooking. I do stir fry chicory in honey on occasion btw :). Also sweet soy sauce or oister sauce is still a sugar source. Breakfast of the kids is still boterham with hagelslag sadly. I’m also from the Netherlands btw, if the hagelslag didn’t give it away.

> The problem with c is that you must have a comprehensive dictionary in your brain with tons of corner cases to know what is or is not undefined in any given compiler setting.

I'm reminded of a quote: [0]

> Ada has made you lazy and careless.

> You can write programs in C that are just as safe by the simple application of super-human diligence.

To your point about performance:

> compiler can make choices based on certain assumptions in the name of performance

I don't think the performance argument really applies with modern optimising compilers. The (too often overlooked) Ada language is safer than C, but has about the same performance, provided you avoid the features with runtime overhead. Similarly I don't think the performance of Rust, and in particular its Safe Rust subset, suffers much for its lack of undefined behaviour.

It's true that, say, Java, doesn't perform as well as C even today, but Java requires a slew of runtime checks and is hostile to micro-optimised memory-management. In Ada, things like array bounds checks can be enabled for debug builds but disabled for production builds, which isn't easy to do in C.

> If C could have a consistent set of rules, and/or easily tag something as undefined a la "unsafe" or have some sort of visual reminder signal (like using function name prefixes or suffixes)

This essentially can't be done. Even the MISRA C coding style, which aims to help with this kind of thing, can't completely guarantee to eliminate undefined behaviour from C codebases. To illustrate the challenge of 'containing the risk' with the C language, it's undefined behaviour to do this:

int i; int j = i;

Fortunately other languages do a much better job at offering truly safe subsets (Rust and D for instance).

Sounds cannot pass through a vacuum, as sound is fundamentally pressure waves that propagate through air. Someone also mentioned the thermal properties of the fill gas (argon being less conductive than air) and it’s also correlated, as temperature is simply a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules, so a higher mass molecule will require more energy to move, which applies to both thermal conductivity and sound transmission.

The more you reduce these problems down to their physical fundamentals, the more related they seem to become. It’s that elegance that got me hooked on electronics engineering—our experience of the universe is remarkable in how frequently a given phenomena can be described using little more than basic principles applied recursively.
It is beneficial. I generally believe in free trade as long as both sides have agreements in place that follows laws and policies mutual to both parties

However not every situation is like this. For instance, offshoring was used to artificially suppress wages of IT workers. That’s not mutually beneficial in the slightest. It’s abusing one cost advantage over another without a clear benefit to both sides, it only served to enrich shareholders

Consider a set of symbols where all of the symbols in the set can be described in terms of other symbols in the set.

There's a name for that in the world of shape-grammar type things but I forget what it is.

I think that any such "self describing" set would lend itself to being translated to other self describing sets. It might even be guaranteed. A neat transform.

A software language could be like that.

We could do a subset of math that is like that.

It's eminently feasible to do a drawing system like that.

Catala still produces plaintext legal documents at the end of the day but can be seen as a markup language for those documents. But because that markup language is a whole lot more precise than the legal text itself, it can be a bit more versatile.

Examples of how this could be useful:

- Reducing the overhead for maintaining a list of semantic translations of that legal code into other languages. Of course the official language is the only one that is "legal" but the other translations should be close enough to effectively express the nuance provided the language outputs are maintained by people who can actually speak those languages.

- Producing machine executable proof or simulation code. This could be used for "fuzzing" the legal code to identify loopholes or unintended outcomes so that legislators can then propose improved terms to avoid those issues. This is by no means "making code law" but it provides an additional tool for understanding the law and how the many different parts of the legal code interact with each other.

- Adding on to the previous example, sim code could be integrated into complex models for simulating the impact of legal changes on the economy at large or specific segments.

- Finance related code can be used to generate a tool or API for validating tax, accounting, and compliance documents (as a first pass to catch errors early and reduce overhead) as well as to even prepare some of those documents. These tools often already exist but they are one or more steps removed from the actual legal definition which increases the risk of error as well as the overhead of maintaining them (which can potentially encourage rent seeking behavior by commercial providers of these tools).

France actually is already doing this to a reasonable degree albeit the "codified" version is based on the law rather than the codified version producing plaintext law. The DGFiP [1] maintains a gitlab organisation [2] that includes both Catala and MLang [3] representations of different parts of the french legal code for exactly these purposes.

It’s a contract (mutual agreement) between the client code and the implementation of the interface. The implementation fulfills certain obligations provided the client code fulfills certain other obligations. The interface defines what those obligations are. If the client code fails to meet its obligations, then the implementation of the interface isn’t bound to fulfill its obligations anymore either. The point is to think in terms of two parties, where the developer who is either using or implementing an interface takes on the role of one of the two contractual parties.

That is not by accident. The history of gun control in the USA (and mostly elsewhere) is deeply rooted in racism and classism. The very idea of an armed minority challenging the status quo terrifies individuals living lives of relative privilege and prosperity. Even if they don't consciously apprehend their bias (and most lack the emotional and spiritual maturity to do so), they are useful in promoting the false narrative of "only the State must monopolize power" as they are the benefactors of it.
The author says they've been applying to thousands of jobs.

This is the resume the author is linking in the article: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v2sv6ev393z9fkk62v1hw/Paul-Fu...

I wonder, if this person's main method of applying has been online forms where you click the "upload resume", he puts this resume in and then everything fails from the start because the ATS is unable to read it. It looks like the text in the resume is not text but an image.

I read some posts back this year that most publicly advertised positions get bazillion applications, most of which suck, so you have to assume a computer program is going to filter your resume first, unless you've been referred in.

I don't like his resume that much, I think it's a bit too embellished but if I needed a person with his kind of experience (based on the resume), I would talk to them. But if I also had 2000 other applications in front of me, I am not going to read them one by one without using a helper tool to filter them.
I don't disagree. I have a soft spot for the Newton because I had a lot of respect for Larry Tesler, who got Apple interested in Common Lisp for a while as part of the Newton project. CL was used to invent Dylan which was originally intended as the Newton programming language. Dylan ended up like the Newton: The invention itself didn't have much impact but the project and the people who worked on it moved computer science forward in many important ways.

Oh, and the genesis of what we now call the ARM computer architecture was the Newton project.

I’m not arguing for the pyramid by any means or saying that it wasn’t flawed.

My critique is that instead of poking wholes in it, debating if eggs are or are not healthy and such, we really just normalized massive portions and fried/fast food/soft drinks/sugar in everything/etc. Which completely misses the spirit of what the pyramid was even aspiring to be. We didn’t even consider the pyramid when we made our food choices. We just allowed our gluttony to lead us where it may. That’s nobody’s fault but our own. We knew very well we were making poor choices along the way, but gave in to our desires.

Private equity really makes life miserable for regular investors and the general economy. I think stronger provisions against buyouts of public companies preventing a single investor from buying more than say 10% of a company and preventing public companies from therefore being gobbled up by private companies would go a long way to solving these problems. Its also vitally important that rules for fiduciary responsibility to a companies shareholders have teeth and also the INDEX act to prevent companies from being subverted .

I came across this question the other day while discussing AI Agents.

Would you chat with an AI agent to be the first line recruiter assuming that you can have a "real" chat with that agent? I.e., the agent ask real questions?

OR do you think its fairer we submit a CV with years of work experience condensed into three bullet points that's screened by an ATS AI?

> If by law they have to report such things

Platforms often don't have to report such things - and do anyway.

Sometimes they want to cozy up to Gov. Sometimes a desire to acquiesce to authority gets in line first. Sometimes decision makers don't know that rights can and should be protected. Sometimes speech protections are a lower priority than shareholder dividends.

A platform may also be too broke to pay it's required bills. Affording counsel to protect uses could be a tough sell there.
Except that so few people are using older compilers, that tracking exactly when features were introduced becomes burdensome to the developer. For languages that have a few large releases every decade, such as C++, this is reasonable. As a C++ developer, I can remember that `std::unique_ptr` requires C++11, `std::make_unique` requires C++14, structured bindings require C++17, etc. It's tedious, but doable, and can be validated against a specific compiler in CI.

For languages with more frequent releases, that just isn't feasible. The let-else construct [0] was stabilized in 1.65 (Nov 2022), default values for const generics were stabilized in 1.59 (Feb 2022) [1], and the const evaluation timeout [2] was removed in 1.72 (Aug 2023). These are all reasonable changes, released on a reasonable timescale. However, when writing a `struct Position<const Dim: usize = 3>`, I don't check whether my library already uses language features that post-date 1.59, and I don't consider it a backwards-compatibility breakage to do so.

Incrementing the major version for a change that is source-compatible on most compiler versions (e.g. the first use of let-else in a project) just isn't justified.

> I would rather have 10% of the population programming than 5%.

Why? I'd rather have a society where everyone is able to achieve their full potential, whatever that may be. If only 1% (or 0.1%) of people are uniquely good at writing programs, then that's who should be writing programs.

Maybe what you're saying is that we live in a world where writing programs is an essential skill, so let's make sure it's not unnecessarily difficult for artists to write programs. But with sufficiently good tools, I don't really see why an artist would spend time writing programs instead of more directly creating art.

IMO job sites were dead the day the launched.

I posted a job ad on jobs.gc.ca in early 2000s which is a government site, with junk UX and even then I got about 200 applications.

Then about five years ago I have talked to my last employer. And they used StackOverflow jobs and got 350 applications just the first day for a super niche position (Perl related). No doubt most applications are unrelated spam.

Now, how do you expect these people to objectively review every single application and pick you?

It’s not possible.

You must do things differently to stand out.

Or network.

But that’s just another way of saying “do things differently”.
