> What do you think that all those people are doing?

justifying the salary of middle managers.

at my current job the number of employees has increased 30x in just 5 years.

there's no important single task we couldn't do when we were 1/30th of now, 2.5x would have been the perfect number to make all of us work no more than 3 days/week, now we are just working on more tasks that are basically DOA or scratch the itches of higher ups who want their name on something when they meet with other higher ups but are useless. Moreover, more often than not, they are a minor variation of something that already existed for a long time, works better, serves a real business purpose and it's written in legacy languages because it just works (I'm sure many of us have attended the and now with AI! BS meeting).

We also know Facebook's 70k employees are there so that many of them won't end up working somewhere else and help the competition (see the Silicon Valley No-poaching Case).

I'm an advocate for not burning up your employees and hire more than you need so everyone can relax, I'm a union representative (on of the) in the company I work for (yes, my country is highly unionized and thanks god it is) so I deeply support the needs of the workers against the absurd demands of the companies, but at some point too many people becomes a burden and severely hinders communication, it basically creates a layers of bureaucracy that resembles much more politics than the job you were hired for, ending up stressing people more, creating harmful frictions, complicated workflows, absurd chains of indirection and countless authorization requests that in the end reduce everyone's output, regardless of the commitment of the single employee.

Also, larger companies get a lot more slack taxation wise and receives a lot more cuts from the government, because unemployment makes us look bad.
Maybe for cargo vessels, unlikely for cars.

Very recently it got vision which can be used for OCR on a single image, but that's massively inefficient and limited compared to what this is likely doing for longer documents
> This announcement is, quite obviously, much worse than doing nothing at all. The worst case scenario, if a warning is just not given, is that my sound cuts out and I miss whatever someone was saying. But that is precisely the effect that the ear clips intentionally generate on an accelerated schedule!

There is a very good reason to announce it with fanfare: completely depleted batteries can get permanently damaged.

It also allows the user to plan better around the downtime. I'm actually able to continue with zero downtime on me in-ears because I detach one of them and power it up while the other one gets depleted further.

With my over-ears I'm unable to do that but they last many hours more. Which is logical as they're more bulky, have a larger battery, and don't have a case containing a battery.

> Speaking of awful bluetooth behavior that has no conceivable reason to exist, I lose all my normal computer audio whenever I'm using voice chat. Why? Well, voice chat takes input from my microphone, which switches the bluetooth device into "headset" mode. Headset mode converts stereo audio to mono and it is the only audio output you're allowed to use while you're providing audio input, or might potentially provide audio input.

True, this is silly, this also happens when you phone. But I actually don't want high quality sound when someone speaks. I've had people's background noise during gaming; not my preference. The irony is that with ANC, there's mics active all the time as noise cancelling depends on that.
If that patent becomes a reality, I'll make sure to create a website to track which products do this, so we can all avoid buying them.
Yes, absolutely. If a woman is getting drunk in a club and she goes home with some older dude that looks hot in the alcohol fumes and has sex that later she regrets, she did not get raped. Is that controversial in any way?

Amazon would just hire more workers... (They are paying them by the hour, aren't they?)
My dream would be to implement a bicycle dynamo (or rather universal) charger that negotiates the out voltage with a 2.7 to 40V buck boost (like the LTC3115-1 [1]) in the middle.

Funny thing is that the modern incarnation of the Dacia brand is now selling about as many units as Skoda and half as VW (which is #1) in Europe.
Just like newspapers and magazines.

Canada you can use what ever you want, and it also includes things like "doing activities". Like if you click an "approve" button that can be considered a signature.
Indeed! As a more senior programmer at a large corporate, I'm lucky if I only have three hours of meetings per day.
Furthermore the boost features used in the "better" example are now standard parts of the language and niether example looks good relative to "modern" C++17. (Though new problems have been introduced too, e.g. overuse of `auto`.)

I think Toyota did not provide enough details on the work. They might have some great engineering done but needs to be seen. If this paper is to be trusted, for dual fuel engines benefits are minimal.

"Nitro-compounds and GHG exhaust emissions of a pilot diesel-ignited ammonia dual-fuel engine under various operating conditions" - https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.03797#

"...Unburned NH3 increases with raising ammonia content but decreases with increasing engine load and speed. The NO+NO2 tendency shows a non-linearity trend with increasing ammonia content, while a trade-off correlation is linked to N2O. The N2O emission of ammonia engine significantly weakens the beneficial effect of GHG reduction, the 30% and 50% decarbonization targets need at least 40% and 60% ammonia energy without regard to N2O effect, while at least 65% and 80% ammonia energy respectively with considering N2O. N2O presents a parabolic-like tendency with AERs. Advanced pilot-diesel injection timing helps to reduce both NH3 and N2O, but this effect becomes insignificant as the AER is less than 0.4..."

On the positive side...Everybody will be laughing their way to their destination.( N2O )

The application such as Spotify could have a timer. The headphones apparently don't, nor do they have an auto go off when battery is depleted, or a way to more silently announce battery is low.
So you won't buy new devices once this becomes standard in all devices in 20 years?
Windows has already made that journey years ago. The MSIX system works the way you suggest:

• Admin privs aren't needed

• Packages declare what integration points they need in an XML file

It's similar to the way macOS, iOS and Android work. You can also (starting soon in Win11) declare that the app will be sandboxed.

However, developers have to actually use this system and most don't know it exists or how to use it.

The ImageMagick developers can fix their problem by purchasing a cheap OV code signing certificate and then using Conveyor [1], which is a product my company makes. It can make these MSIX files along with all the new formats it requires for things like icons, and it can do so from Linux or macOS or whatever the developers prefer to use. So you can do releases locally without needing CI/CD or cloud signing.

Now, they'd like to have releases be done by GitHub Actions instead of using local hardware, and that would require a cloud signing service as they say. Conveyor can use those too. But that's not a technical requirement anymore, because it doesn't use any of the native toolchains so you don't need to release Windows binaries from Windows (or Mac from Mac). Conveyor can create all the files for installing and updates, and then upload them to a GitHub Release or ordinary web server, and it's free for open source projects. Given that they're initiating the release process from a laptop anyway, they can do it all locally.

Conveyor can also self-sign but that's more just to enable the tracking of permissions and things for all software. Self signed binaries still trigger warnings obviously.

You can just buy same chip if someone somehow decided to check random flash chip vendor.

More sensible way to stopping that would be writing eeprom with encrypted key burned into the GPU itself but I doubt NVIDIA bothered, money loss for few people willing enough to take their GPU apart to replace a chip is insignificiant.
Because they are moving to other services/apps. Hinge in particular.

Oh, this is Jason Turner! I'm sure he'd no longer write that kind of code, given its pre-C++11.

Not really intellectually interesting anymore IMO.

People say "I know some C++" and that could mean they have 2 decades, or 2 days, experience.

In reality, this is not a C++ problem, this is a software engineering problem. You need to learn to choose a solution that is good, not a solution that sounds good, or that will impress management.

If you need OOP, use it, otherwise, stay very far away. Same with callbacks and other funny constructs. You need them? Use them. You use them because they sound cool? It may be that you just want to call two functions after one another -- you dont need a callback to the first for that.
Just another way to prop up the fossil fuel industry. Just like hydrogen propulsion, the source of the ammonia would ultimately be natural gas.
I believe the same is applicable in other languages. Complicated types and class structures quickly become unwieldly, it's much better to use simple types and not rely on polymorphism too much.
I would rather expect that this rule based (grammar) theory applies to the ever lasting evolution of the consciousness/mind rather than the underlying universe.

As another commenter pointed out is weird if the physics laws just stopped evolving in this massive rule set system.
Less pressure on your eardrums if the shock wave reaches them from both sides.

Because domain names are cheap and can be purchased in bulk.

TLS certificates are for encryption. You don't care if the endpoint is "bad" in some way, only that you are communicating with it securely.

Code signing certificates are to make bans stick. Totally different purpose.
It is not that I necessarily disagree with the author but it does seem like he is making it a bit too easy for himself to make his point. Ever since C++ got lambdas, I would say that bind should be considered deprecated. It is more difficult to understand AND cannot possibly be more efficient.

The general point stands though. If you try to make everything as general as you can, you are going to make it more difficult for yourself than necessary. Beware of generalizing from one or fewer examples.
The incident you quoted was an instance of a threatened use of withholding the Queen's Consent. In this case, even most of Parliament might have been unaware of the implication of the bill that was presented before them. More evidence of shady backoffice bill crafting (yes, I'm aware that the Monarch has regularly tea with the Prime Minister) than actual abuse of powers.

All of this is rather shameful, but not surprising. Especially since this happened in the 60s where the attitude of many people was still quite... old-fashioned. Personally, I think actively refusing the Queen's Consent would have caused a scandal not because of the actual discrimination, but because of special rules for the royal household being created, as well as direct interference with Parliament.

This rather demonstrates that the Monarch is aware that they would likely lose out and find their powers further restricted should such meddling turn into an actual confrontation between Parliament and Monarch. The Monarchy exists as long as the public can turn a blind eye to their faults. Yes, that requires that they sweep things under the rug. And this is indeed one of the strongest arguments against the continued existence of the Monarchy.
Does this also affect non-store sandboxes? I think it's pro-only, but windows supports sandboxing for any kind of app.

But why should they raise this money?

The unspoken assumption here is that code signing is a good thing. I question this assumption, particularly with how this works today. Microsoft, the cert issuers, and other companies involved in this are trying to create a reality in which software must always be attached to a specific legal entity, and then that entity must be vetted through the "corporate web of trust". That $629 (per year?) isn't paying to access/license a feature. It's a membership fee in that "corporate web of trust".

It's a nice way to disempower users and individual developers, while effectively commercializing the entire Open Source space. "Want to have your open source project to have any users (on proprietary OS-es)? You need to start a company and sign a contract with one of our approved business friends."
Engineers Want More Feedback
Subsequent work has revised that estimate downwards quite a bit: https://www.originalwisdom.com/wp-content/uploads/bsk-pdf-ma...
I went from "c++ fondness" to "c++ distaste" over the years. The newest c++ standards fix a lot of issues, but at the same time increase complexity. The backwards-compatibility nature is the classic double-edged sword. If we could avoid it, c++ would be at least significantly nicer (not really less complex).

That being said, a good team using a dab of c++ will beat "high quality C" any time of the year for me. Getting away from the preprocessor alone is huuuuuuuge. Everybody complains about memory safety, and the truth is that with even the dumbest string/buffer class it's actually pretty trivial to do the right thing. c++ _does_ really fix most of the c issues IMHO.

A big problem IMHO is that we "learned" to use c++ properly late. The newest standard revisions came late. The feature abuse it receives is still somewhat rampant, and yes a newcomer to c++ would probably find a use for every single feature in a simple usage scenario.

Reading large c++ codebases is hard due to the intermixing of old/new and simply different styles. It has a huge cognitive load, and that is my primary reason for the growing distaste: I want code to be clear and coherent. I can take the complexity if that's used consistently, but it can change massively between even just PARTS of a project.

Thanks, that clears it up!

About the email events, that sounds like a great value prop for a third party service to abstract away. Will have a look at EmailEngine.
Ammonia, with an energy density of 5.3KWh/kg and a production cost of ~$1/kg doesn't look very competitive with electricity, even compared to renewables (typically around $0.1/kg)
You probably weren't cycling that fast tbh. No human is capable of running much faster than 20 km/h for extended periods of time. The average speed of the WR for a 10k is at 23 km/h.

Bicycles make humans incredibly more efficient at travelling over paved surfaces. Pretty much every sort-of healthy person with a bike would beat the fastest runner over 10k. That's crazy in my opinion.
Heck, I am observing candidates giving up during interviews or experienced software engineers giving up during outages. I would say both also require mental fortitude.
Yes, but this is an unrelated issue. Last game I have seen to not have an "hardware cursor" option/default was a badly made DirectX 8 one that has trouble running on Windows 7.
The GP says this is clearly fiction because there's no evidence.

The retort is that we can't expect evidence as "exists" in some other fictional story.

You cover 200 miles every day? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REni8Oi1QJQ&t=185s

Regardless, you can own a car for those longer journeys just fine and still make most trips by bicycle.

> With bikes and walking, your world is small.

Yeah, that's why public transport is important too. Cars as well, although deprioritized.

> Electric cars powered by renewable energy get rid of most of the negative externalities.

They get rid of some of the noise and almost all of the harmful exhaust. That's about it. They're still 2 ton+ massive steel cages that are incredibly dangerous to everyone else, take up a ridiculous amount of space, and require extremely expensive infrastructure.

As for the rest, sure, I'm not really criticising your particular choices, it sounds like you live in a rural area where a car is necessary anyway. However, there's no way for everybody to be able to live like you do. There are just too many people. We need to live with long-term sustainability in mind.
(People on) Nice Teams Finish Last
Toyota have a long and storied history of gratuitous PR-sourced puff pieces about future energy tech with a near-zero batting average for accuracy and plausibility. Their reputation for making proclamations about future technology is, in my personal opinion, about as trashed as they could ever make it.

"The end of EVs," really? This from the same company which sunk untold billions into convincing us that hydrogen would be the fuel of the future? This from the same company which just recently[0] lauded how they'd quickly leapfrog the EV competition with a magical solid state battery that definitely exists, pinkie promise? Did they think we'd forget how Toyota described this battery as being in the "production engineering" stage six years ago?[1]

I agree...

Any alternative has two core issues... Adoption curve issues and scalability/potential. What do you do when adoption is 2%, 20%, etc. If issues exist at 5% adoption rates can't be solved, those at 50% will never be relevant.

Toyota's much talked about new line on EVs is all about this. Elons intital (underpants) plan for Tesla was all about this. Not just destinations, destinations with passable pathways.

There are easy places to get started. Buses, trucks, specific locales that can be served by dedicated fueling facilities. To make that a useful plan though, you need to be able to reach level L+1 from L, and a realistic vision of pathways to L+n.

I'd also note that it was mostly Tesla's financiers that made an "investment case" where Tesla's potential is proportional to the EV market broadly.

Tesla's Elon strategy never (openly) looked beyond model 3. Cubertruck is strategic, but not in a sense that has much to do with EV adoption rates in general.
How can you have an article about how things look without plenty of pictures? This article has one picture at the start to catch your attention but it isn't a picture of anything that's specifically referred to in the text.
And arguably the issue also isn't with money - it's that the value in "actually asserting authorship & tying it to a legal identity" is primarily a value for commercial vendors and platform owners. It's forcing open source developers to entangle themselves in the very system that open source culture is (or was) fundamentally in opposition to.

I feel weird going to church. I get the idea but I'm not religious at all. I'm not even open to the possibility. I'd feel scummy.

Also I have body image issues and do not enjoy working out around other people.
The really obvious thing, if you watch the Freeze "best of" clip, is that most people have terrible running form. In most cases, I suspect I could tell who has a chance and who doesn't simply by looking at one stride from each competitor.

There are so many factors that go into biomechanics--I struggle to improve my own running form--but it's interesting to me that it comes together in such an obvious-at-a-glance factor as "looks fast."
I must not have made my point very well. People have experiences which aren't material, physical experiences. Is it all in their heads? Most of it. Does that mean it's not real? No, there are things that exist beyond regular everyday predictable reality.
To play devil's advocate, so to speak, there are countless videos on the internet claiming to show such evidence.
I remember playing the web demo and being absolutely captivated. I must have been around 11.

Still like the game, though I feel that since starting around 1.8, the magic has been lost a little. More recently, with Microsoft apparently adding everything to the game that someone's 6 year old said would be cool, it's lost a lot of its charm. Imagine taking Chess and adding 10 new types of pawn with special abilities - thats cool, sure, but it kinda makes away with a lot of why the original game was so good.

In your analysis, it seems like the growing person should be recognized by the chosen class and be given a shot at relationships. Why though? If you don’t belong to the chosen class, find a partner that isn’t in the chosen class as well and grow together.

"Conscious" is highly individual state. I would strongly recommend you to look up current situation, it may prevent a very nasty situation, where judge has a different opinion!

Most guys I know take god knows what drugs, mixed with vodka and Redbull... Far from shining beacon of "consciousness". But they are still able to walk and talk, and somehow get home...
Zig lacks documentation, and thats because its hard.

Documentation of the kind: "ThingDoer: Does the thing" is not useful. A lot of the Zig stdlib docs are exactly that.
