> Not at all. Python 3.7 and older cannot be even built on current Linux + GCC.

They can still be built in a suitable build environment (which is easy eg. with a container, and it is trivially easy to install a python 3.7 environment on a current linux, using precompiled binaries, without impacting the systems current python version, thanks to `pyenv`

pyenv install 3.7.17

In fact I could install all the way down to 3.0.1 if I wanted (and ofc Python2 versions).
Headline theatrics aside, this seems like a neat idea. However, the article doesn’t mention how this compares to systems that use electrolysis to generate hydrogen. In general the number of mechanical moving parts required for this system, and the idea of rusting and de-rusting these metals over and over doesn’t seem feasible compared to simply using electricity to separate the hydrogen. A quick google says electrolysis is around 70-80% efficient, I don’t see this setup ever beating that.
Not familiar with Java, but C# has sealed classes as well. They are not the real deal. You can fake your way around to achieve something resembling sum types, but the deep language integration like in Rust is simply unattainable. For example, ADT and pattern matching go hand in hand, so you want syntax-level, first class and powerful support for structural pattern matching as well. Not sure about Java, but last I used it C# had only relatively basic support.
>Very credible, because people already employed don’t really count. It doesn’t matter at what company.

Why don't they count? Already employed people are recruited by Apple, I get spammed by Apple recruiters, I know a dozen of people who had been poached by Apple from various companies. Apple does hire people who are already employed, they pay quite a bit more so many employed people are looking if not for increased prestige then for increased TC.

>Imagine someone leaves whatever company they are at to take the role at Apple. Now the company the employee left has an opening that can’t be filled.

I am not sure I follow, this is obviously false on its face. Why exactly can not it be filled?

I started off learning Python and C++. At some point I got fed up with C++ and switched to C.

Haha, the emoji thing was something I was doing for about a week or so. You see emojis used a lot more around Rust I guess. I never bothered to remove them. I think the bugs around the PID are fun. The ones in the comments might go at some point, though I didn't experience any problems with editors (Helix, Emacs, and VSCode all work) so far.

Should I maybe disabled printing emojis to standard output in the REPL if terminal colors are disabled as well?

I think that's true compared to Firefox on Linux at least.
They for some reason encode the viewport into the URL, it's pretty annoying because there is no automatic redirects either. I assume there is some good reason for this like accessibility for low-bandwidth regions but surely there must be a similary efficient solution.
This isn't foreplay. No one has time to read the tea leaves of someone else's "subtleties" and murky language. It's a waste of time and cognitive effort. Directness is a virtue. By directness, of course, I mean clear language that is to the point, not aggressive and disrespectful imposition. If you need something, then that's what you should say. The answer should likewise be direct. Yeses and noes, and because.

Common sense is one thing, as we don't necessarily want to have to spell everything out (and even here, there generally exists a space of reasonable difference of opinion and approach, and mutual familiarity also breeds implicit context), but it is uncharitable to put people into a position where they must constantly strain their minds to try to determine what you need, only to punish them for failing to meet your preciously specific and indeterminate expectations. This can quickly become abusive, not to mention annoying.

> If you want to offer regular users the choice of libre software in near-parity with commercial offerings, you need a lot of money, a lot of developers, and big organizations. As far as I can see, that's just an objective truth.

How is this an objective truth?

Also why is it that what was possible yesterday is not possible today?

The GNU project was started in the early 80s when even in the western world only a very small minority had access to a computer.

Since then we put computers in the hand of almost everyone but now we can't write serious free software without a big corporation/government & money?

This is what happened in the early 00s, corporations like IBM understood they wouldn't be able to compete with free software now that we have the internet & everyone will have access to computers.
So they captured the open source projects & even Microsoft understood 15 years later that they had to do it too.
And now they have been successful in convincing you that no serious software can written without them and you consider that an "objective truth".

And on top of that the EU & others are telling you can't have serious & safe software without complying to their regulations...

Just look at the BSDs, they have been able to keep up with Linux (I mean they are in the same ballpark in term of security, features & performance) with a fraction of the money.

True, it's exactly what happened. But the point is, there are people who are a lot better at making you want to buy something than you are at resisting their tactics. Think twice before you voluntarily put yourself in their hands, even for a discounted vacation.
Good point. Am curious: what’s the thick black line over land that goes all the way down to Switzerland? Does it affect the sea zones?
We did that as well, to get three free nights in a resort. We signed up for the last possible slot in the day for the day we were set to check in to the hotel. We also borrowed a friend's baby (friend was traveling with us).

The salesman was tired and ready to go home. Instead of the regular 2-3 hours, we spent 15 minutes with him while the baby fussed a bit. Then he handed us our hotel voucher.

Just be strategic. Like most things.
Recidivism rates are astonishingly high in all countries. Norway has the lowest at 20% within 2 years. The real rate is higher because most crimes aren’t solved. So in the best case, rehabilitation makes someone 300x more likely to commit crime than the average Norwegian.
So what's the downside?

Well, having a working Node 18 in 10 years might prove really difficult.

Recreating the whole outdated stack is often doable, but it's really time consuming and often feels more like archeology than Computer Science.

What you really want is strong backward compatibility so that Node "30" still manages to build projects from 10 years ago.

> How would you want to, say, transcode a collection of MP3 to Opus to fit more tracks onto the same space at acceptable quality without keeping FLACs around?

Transcoding 320kbps MP3 to some other lossy codec, once, is really not that bad. LAME at 320kbps is transparent to many people, and while I don't have any A/B test data to back this up, I'd be surprised if re-coding once to Opus at, say, 160kbps, would fare noticeably worse in A/B tests.

> OTOH, people play lossy MP3s over lossy SBC via Bluetooth and don't care

Further evidence that transcoding from one high-bitrate lossy codec to another really isn't that bad :)
The analogy I heard recently was a brain with chronic depression/trauma is something like a car with a bad engine. It is repairable and fixable, but it's a lot of work to tear everything down, and lots of times trying to fix or replace one thing snowballs into many things (e.g. you shear a rusty bolt, or as long as you have the timing belt out, you really ought to do the water pump). Other times you really need to address the broken rod before you can do anything else, but to get there you need to tear the whole engine down.

The problem is, you can't just tear your brain apart into individual pieces and leave it scattered across your garage as you work on each piece one at a time. Every new counseling session, every new day you're starting over and tearing down things and then when you're done, when you have to get back to the day to day of life, you have to put it all back together and hope it gets you through to the next one.

Psychedelics seem to give you a very brief window where you whole brain is just sort of "exploded" like a giant parts diagram. And you can poke at and work on one part at a time without all the tear down and without having to do all the other pieces because they just all got out of the way. It's not as good as if we could just tear everything down and do a complete rebuild over the course of a week. But given what we have, when things are really entangled and overlapping, it's a better / faster approach.

I once talked to someone who used to work in the timeshare business, at a European tourist city. Their job was to get tourists to come to the pitch. They would get paid different amounts depending on the tourist's nationality, with Northern Europeans being worth the most, except for Finns, who were "worth" nothing (his boss said that all they wanted to do was drink, and would never sign up). So his trick was to find Finns, get them to come to the pitch with the lure of free drink, but just say that they were Swedish, so he would get paid at that high rate.
Which is bothersome when you disagree about not needing to extract data or modify.
Yup. That’s the main reason to take psilocybin for most people. The hallucinations are interesting but not really worth the trouble. After 30 minutes of a recreational trip I find I wish I could go back to sobriety, it’s very mentally taxing. And the effects last for maybe 5 hours. It’s like going on a really intense hike in your mind, but taking the drug plops you 10 miles into the wilderness and over the next few hours you have no choice but to hike back out. Micro-dosing is different as you can distract yourself from the effects fairly easily.

For me a trip is something that takes a certain amount of preparation. It feels like gearing up for a spring cleaning marathon that you can not stop once you start. So you get together a list of the parts of your brain you want to clear out, set aside a day and a half for the trip and the recovery, and dive in.
> I would've rather paid for them.

You did pay for them. “Several hours of time” easily adds up to hundreds of dollars.

Think about it this way: How much would you pay to get 1 hour of your time back? Like paying for takeout instead of going to get it yourself. Or paying to get your lawn mowed. Or your house cleaned. That’s how much your time is worth to you.

> This makes me think that the "trippiness" is a side effect of neurogenesis

It doesn't have to be either/or. Tripping could also be forcing your brain to adapt to correct the distorted senses. If that's true, psychedelics without the trip could induce neurogenesis by other means, but not as much as ones with the trip.
The apology was written 2 days ago in response to a blogpost[1] from... 2019? Hmmm... well... hmmm...

That's somewhat person dependent. I was a heavy smoker (3-4 packs a day) for several years, but quitting cold turkey was very easy for me. I basically had no cravings unless I was drinking, and those went away after a month.

I realize I'm an outlier.

Maybe you haven’t taken them enough. Of course everything seems different and novel the first couple dozen trips. You’re feeling new sensations and seeing things in a new way, sort of a “hello world” for your psyche. But after a few hundred, the novelty may wear off and the experience may be more somatic.
The point is treatment of psychiatric illnesses like depression without the potential for upsetting hallucinations.

The main tradeoff is concurrency: it's difficult to safely read a hash table while its entries are being concurrently relocated. Another tradeoff is (probably) higher average latency (but worst-case latency is much better since there's no global rehashing required).
The problem is that people writing in support of the positions that they believe often unintentionally elide things that they consider obvious, which, from the perspective of the other group, sounds like nonsensical mumbo-jumbo, resulting in derisive assessments of the first group as “idiots”, “lunatics” and so on.

Further, people also like staying in their ingroup, so while a flat-earther can already look up evidence and statements supporting a spherical Earth, they often choose to remain in their ingroup to avoid the cognitive dissonance from contradictory information.

> Apple delaying the progress of "web" (or just another kind of app) is good for users. Because user don't need another OS between the host os and their apps.

It's categorically not good for the consumer. It's good for the small enterprise companies/upstarts that don't have the budget to keep iterating their software, which would otherwise be left in the dust quiet quickly. With apple holding it back, they've got a bigger timeframe in which their software doesn't behave as a legacy application, as everyone Else is forced to use subpar features too.

From the users perspective it is - just as they said - worse, as things like codec support improve battery life and playback quality for example.

I suspect it would. There is a well-documented similar effect called the congruency sequence effect [0] in which performance on a given incongruent trial improves if the previous trial was likewise incongruent (and, interestingly, performance on a given congruent trial will degrade). The current understanding of this phenomenon is essentially that you take just a bit more time and care on the current trial after recently experiencing a more demanding trial, which would parallel the hypothesis here.
