I appreciate that the author crossed out his suggestion to remove gdscript vs removing it. I will give him credit for transparency. That doesn’t negate the original intent.

I am aware of the part about how this affects bindings for all languages. My point still stands that this is premature optimization. The author even admits, “In some projects 95% of the CPU load is in an algorithm which never touches the engine APIs. In that case, none of this matters.”

So again, if this is about performance then why not remove c# as well? If we’re to “tear it all down and start again” we might as well do it in rust. Oh? If I want a rust game engine I should look at Bevy. Is saying that really a second “wrong”?

I don’t have anything against this author specifically. I respect that they did more than simply look at the showcase screenshots to make their assessment. My initial comment was more a general expression of frustration with the prevailing attitude on various forums. I like reading r/godot to see individuals creating games, not creating grief. (Frankly, I found the Unity memes to be a bit mean spirited as well.) I acknowledge my initial comment did nothing to remedy the situation but I was tired of hearing it. I have since stopped reading that subreddit. Enjoy your c# crusade.
At a previous company, about 10 years ago, we had roughly 10 RabbitMQ instances (brokers), all isolated. The system was essentially partitioned by queue server. We had a directory-ish service that would associate clients with their assigned node. It worked well, except if a client got too large we might have to move them to another queue.
Its such hubris for them to assume they can put 99% of humans out of a job, not implement a basic income, and all will be well in Rome. Kinda hard to subjugate with bread and circuses when you take away all the dough. All you are left with are circuses, and boy are they setting the stage for one.

> It seems like 99.9% of humans being useless mouths to feed is not a concern for x-risk folks so long as the 0.1% are still around.

This is one of those observations, that once you make it, you see stamped _all over_ the x-risker writings. Those folks are absolutely convinced they they and their loved ones will be part of the remaining 0.1%. (And some are pretty bad at hiding that they're actually looking forward to not having to deal with the other 99.9).
That's a much better explanation for someone like me who isn't very familiar with Go.

It's an interesting thought experiment, but ultimately boils down to one point. YT gets to do whatever they want. The terms of service are designed so they can be selective in their enforcement.

Modern EUV lithography uses 13.7nm light, barely shy of the 10nm cutoff for X-Rays (and that's debatable). Many of the problems we'll need to solve are already in-play with EUV lithography, but with X-Rays they will be turned up to 11. Directing the light is a huge one, most materials are transparent to X-Rays so lenses aren't going to work, and mirrors are difficult. Building an EUV or X-Ray mirror requires coating stacks tens to hundreds of nano-meter thick layers thick but still can't manage very high reflectivity. Also, at these energies, the light easily ionizes substrate atoms knocking electrons out which travel around and affect nearby atoms, causing weird non-local stochastic effects.

We've barely started EUV production, there's plenty of room for optimization, so I'd bet we're decades away from using X-Rays commercially, but you better believe we're trying!

Hasn't pushing cultural norms on others always been the case with American-centric media? Before silicon valley it was Hollywood.

Youtube turned subscription numbers into a gameable metric for some time, so they got heavily inflated, so then Youtube basically made them meaningless. Youtube rarely even shows your subscribers your new videos nowadays, and for many creators, subscribers are about 20% or less of their total views.
Observable is pushing it. Technically observable, sure, but ~1dpi misplaced is… unlikely to be noticeable.

Plus, if that level of accuracy is required simply adding more nodes improves accuracy exponentially.

Not least, the “standard” approximation really should be updated in software, as modern 4-node approximations are down to 0.005%, almost an order of magnitude better.

Fast compiler, simple tooling, baked in fmt, simple cross platform compilation, decent standard library, a tendency towards good enough performance if doing things the Go way, async without function coloring. They got some things right and some things wrong. When tossing out orthodoxy, you’ll tend to get some things wrong. I think a lack of sum types is my biggest gripe.

I think that's an ahistorical reading of events. They did have the opportunity, but there were very few languages doing what Go was at the time it was designed. My recollection of the C# 3 to 5 and .NET 3 to 4.5 is a bit muddled, but it looks like the spec supports a different reading:

C# 3.0 in 2007 introduced arrow syntax. I believe this was primarily to support LINQ, and so users were typically creating closures as arguments to IEnumerable methods, not in a loop.

C# 4.0 in 2010 introduced Task<T> (by virtue of .NET 4), and with this it became much more likely users would create a closure in a loop. That's how users would add tasks to the task pool, after all, from a for loop.

C# 5.0 in 2012 fixes loop variable behavior.

I think the thesis I have is sound: language designers did not predict how loops and lightweight closures would interact to create error-prone code until (by and large) users encountered these issues.

There could be more to it than just acquiring future votes for the Liberal Party.

Keep in mind that Jagmeet Singh is the leader of the NDP, the other main leftist party in Canada, and he represents the Burnaby South riding.

Due to how Canada's elections work, the Liberals drawing even a relatively small number of voters away from the NDP in key ridings could have a significant negative impact on the NDP's and Singh's level of success during the next election.

In 2021, Singh beat the Liberal candidate by only about 4,000 votes, for example. That was only 10% of the vote, and the overall turnout was merely 51% in that riding.
There will be mostly two kinds of response to this article.

(1) Cars and trucks are evil, get rid of them.

(2) Too bad, nothing we can do, get over it.

Neither is helpful. We're going to need lots of tires for a long time. Trains don't (and can't) go everywhere. Bikes can't carry everything, and any imaginable bike that could would have the exact same problem. Trucks of all kinds, and buses, are indispensable and need tires. The question is how to make the tires better. Fortunately-people are working on this.

Bridgestone: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/04/eco-friendly-tires-brid...

Goodyear: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/goodyear-unveils-90... (specifically using soybean oil in place of 6PPD)

What we need to do is not argue tires vs. no tires, but keep the pressure on these makers and others to continue developing less-harmful tires. And the best way to do that is with our wallets. If there's demand for less toxic and more sustainable tires, they're more likely to be made.

We also need to reduce the average weight of passenger vehicles, and reduce the need for vehicular travel to accomplish daily needs. That includes everything from urban design to WFH, but those efforts are largely orthogonal to the issue at hand.
Two relevant perspectives to share:

"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine." -Marcia Angell

"If the image of medicine I have conveyed is one wherein medicine lurches along, riven by internal professional power struggles, impelled this way and that by arbitrary economic and sociopolitical forces, and sustained by bodies of myth and rhetoric that are elaborated in response to major threats to its survival, then that is the image supported by this study." -Evelleen Richards, "Vitamin C and Cancer: Medicine or Politics?"
>It's not crazy.

No. Full disagree.

Array represents a concept of holding multiple values (let's simplify) of the same type.

Loop (not index based) over array represents concept of going *over* array's elements and executing some code body for each of it.

Now, if the behaviour isn't that loop's body is executed for each array element (let's forget about returns, breaks, etc)

then the design is terrible (or implementation, but that'd mean that it was a bug)

I have totally no idea how can you design this thing in such a unintuitive way unless by mistake/accidentally.

And yes, when found weakness in WP/Django, in many cases you will just need to transit to patched version, or recreate (if different major version). As I said, recreate for WP much cheaper than any other you asked.

But when found weakness in some part of software, which you used in Flask, this could be big problem, because parts are supported by different persons, some may become just unsupported, or may be supported worse than others, and you will not have one subject to call, unlike case of pure Django.

Same problem could happen with WP, because many custom plugins are practically just other separate big system, also not supported by main WP team.
But in many cases, SEO and leads tracker could be from official package.

But, from what I seen myself, with WP typically you will end with few sites, each serve part of business, each consisted from 2-4 big chunks, which working good together, so you will depend from limited number of subjects (with Flask, number of parts will be more than 5, because there nearly all separate).

With Django, it is possible, to make all in one site, and to not use anything from separate sources, except frontend framework and markup (for example in ideal world could be Django+React+Bootstrap, and nothing else, sure in real will be additionally some SEO addon, leads tracker addon).
Your assumption is the reason his content was removed was because of the allegations, which is potentially not true. While it's very likely the allegations are what drew attention to it, it doesn’t mean there wasn’t a bunch of stuff there already that violated policies – especially given the content he had doubled down on.

All Youtube did was cite their “Creator responsibility“ clause[1] as the reason. This could have included a myriad of violations, especially considering the type of content he was producing.

Also, if you read the allegations, he very much was in the protected status you mention. “Open secret”, lots of people covering for him, running interference, etc etc. Calling him a “D-list celeb, likely with little to no major influence” illustrates your lack of research into the issue.

I think there are plenty of problems with US healthcare, but I don't think this is one of them. Standard of care in the US is to get screened for STDs at least annually for sexually active people, and more frequently depending on your risk factors. Being on PrEP involves mandatory testing for STDs every 3 months. There are also tons of free clinics where people can get checked for STDs.
It’s pretty simple. If you have to be masculine and assertive in any way now you have to cowtow to the insane right because the left is a hostile space for regular men. The right welcomes you with open arms and basically shields you from any consequences for past wrongs. There is no middle. You can get away with just about anything on the right now with no repercussions.

You can downvote this all you want but you know there is more than a modicum of truth here.
To add to the sibling comment, the reason our classical computers work is because the individual transistor errors in your CPU are basically zero.

We do use “error correction” on storage (and do see bit errors creep into data stored on disk and in RAM over time) but not “fault tolerance” on the compute. In fact there is no such thing as fault-tolerant classical compute - the CPU only works if it “perfect” or “near perfect” (or if you had an ancillary computer that was perfect to implement the correction). Note that occasionally computers do crash due to a bit error in your CPU, or you get a “unstable” CPU that you need to replace.

(We do create fault-tolerant distributed systems, where such faults can generally be modelled and remedied as network errors, not compute errors.)

Quantum fault tolerance relies on the fact that you can do “perfect” classical computation - which I find kind of amusing!
