> Most likely what made you lose interest in Go are simply things you did not grasp yet in one day

It doesn’t take a day of use to be frustrated by go’s warts - like having nullable pointers everywhere, the lack of sum types and the awkward error handling. I think it takes more than a day to get used to those problems and work around them. And who knows if the juice is worth the squeeze?

Rust is the same. It takes less than a day to start fighting the borrow checker. Whether the language is worth the discomforts it brings is a question nobody can answer for you.

I think dismissing these criticisms by saying the poster just didn’t understand the language is overly dismissive. These criticisms are real and legitimate.

Given how niche Twitter would become if it was entirely subscription-based, I too am ok with this.
> Hmm, the article is from February 2022, aka right when we had "peak economy" just before the wordlwide shit hit the fan and everything tanked again, so I'm curious how much of that wage grows was just due to the Covid money printing boom that drove up demand in **all sectors**

you answered your own question here

> Except now they have even more competition from outside the EU, with the UK reaching migration records as of recently. And non-EU cheap labor tends to be even cheaper compared to cheap EU labor.

there's a minimum salary requirement

previously this didn't apply to labour from the EU, now it does

so they've all but completely shut out low wage competition from the EU

sounds like they got exactly what they wanted

MVC is a proven and popular technology. It works very well, otherwise it wouldn't be so popular. I notice you allude to "problems we all experienced with MVC" without mentioning any. Surely if there are so many problems, you would be able to mention one?
> How does democracy work if citizens have very little idea about how that works in the EU?

Democracy doesn't work if the citizens do not care about the very entities that administer their lives on their behalf. The EU isn't impenetrable, or at least no more impenetrable than the national and local governments, but most people just do not care enough to learn how it works.

Admittedly, that apathy has been reinforced by many national politicians who wanted the EU to remain abstract and obscure in order to better use it as scapegoat for their own failures.

This article is from almost a year ago. It doesn’t factor in the recent decline in Twitter valuation. That said, measuring net worth by summing together illiquid, unrealized shares in a highly volatile, overvalued tech company during a record high inflation event would always yield these kinds of headlines. It says nothing about the business or anything material really.
In the last 70 years, the human diet has become polluted with chemicals and shifted to refined carbs, concurrent with the rise of heart disease and diabetes. And I'm the one following the "trend" by eliminating those things? Not sure you know what that word means.

Sure, but the thing that "Into the Pandaverse" seems to make fun off (according to the description in the GP comment, I haven't seen it) doesn't lead to better quality. Edginess doesn't equal quality, even if some people seem to think just dialing up the edginess-meter would make the films magically better.

It can be part of a quality experience, such as so-called "woke" content can be, if it's done in the right way. But that needs good content creators, with enough leeway and time to make a good experience, same as everything else.
Incompetent engineers and fat to trim I feel are seperate issues.

Layoffs seem pretty bad at identifying the incompetent from the competent from my experience. It seems to cut on all front, you're not sure if you're left with the best or the worse ones, but you saved a lot of payroll cost either way.

Or if you try to handicap teams by understaffing them, even competent engineers will need to reduce the quality of their output. This is when fat is trimmed in a bad way, where instead of getting rid of low ROI venture/projects/services/products and focus on the important, you just tighten the budgets accross the board for example.
Wow I like Andy even more now
The hubris is just off the scale. How about you simply follow the law. How hard can it be, if the Chinese can manufacture cars in Sweden then so can Americans.
Yep, and that's what was being done before React existed. JSX took over because people (including me) prefer to have the full power of JavaScript for their templates rather than a half-based templating language.
Indeed!

If OpenAI wants to support use cases like this, which would be kind of cool during these exploratory days, they should let you generate "single use" keys with features like cost caps, domain locks, expirations, etc
Maybe a bit pedantic - but I prefer using lit-html, not lit.

Lit is a bit too "frameworky" for my taste, I generally just use vanilla classes that extend HTMLElement and have a render function that renders the lit-element template to the light dom.

Something like:

import {html, render} from 'lit-html';

class AppComponent extends HTMLElement {
connectedCallback() {
this.template = () => html`<markup here>`;
this.render();
}

render() {
if(this.template)
render(this.template(), this)
}
}

customElements.define('app-component', AppComponent);
BYD challenges Tesla with more than 300k electric cars sold in a month
> when you put the scope probes on, some of the ringing energy goes into the scope and it tends to improve the situation as long as the probe is there.

The software equivalent is so-called "load-bearing printf"s, where for example `printf("broken_var: %i\n",broken_var);` causes broken_var to not get optimized out and so start working correctly. But in hardware that happens even when you (effectively) inspect broken_var in a attached debugger, because the closest thing you have to a debugger (eg, oscilloscope) effectively just is a load-bearing printf.
zstd is over 4x faster than zlib, while having a better compression ratio.

In what cases are you "reasoning about" Prettier? I can only think of the occasional issue with merge conflicts, perhaps.
Tesla is not breaking the law. This is a labor action, and considering Europe's general tenor on labor relations, this lawsuit is going to be a hilarious mistake.

> we can choose any computable number to be encoded by the string 64'b1

First of all, every finite number is computable by definition.

And second, your encodings will, unlike those in the lambda calculus, be completely arbitrary.

PS: in my self-delimiting encoding of the lambda calculus, there are only 1058720968043859 < 2^50 closed lambda terms of size up to 64 [1].

Lazy article.

Not a single mention of tax breaks these companies receive by forcing workers into the office. These tax breaks were extended during COVID, and are now being re-assessed, hence the sudden and coordinated push to RTO.

well, normally I'd agree, but it doesn't look like there are any irreversible/destructive changes being made? plus this seems like a pretty valuable experiment/project for the retro Mac community.
I do get it, no idea why everybody now starts explaining the story to me like I misunderstood it :) Its fine that person A likes object X, but person B doesn't, there is no rationalization needed since it won't change the opinion.

I went for that sci-fi book for the space and sci-fi parts, and found the other side not interesting. That's it. I think I generally like sci-fi happening in space or generally futuristic. For medieval I prefer reading fantasy (which I think would help story tremendously if included for folks like me, since there is already another 'magic' in that universe).
Also, last year.

And the year before. My previous job even floated the idea to come back to onprem infra for this reason.
If you have CI/CD then rebuild and deploy isn’t a big deal. If you’re mutating running systems in an uncontrolled way you’re probably doing it wrong

I mean, stating it that plainly is what makes it a joke, but it is indeed an accurate description of the choices we have collectively made as near as I can tell.
The game has been up for a while, this just takes into hyper-drive.

But don't forget, you _can_ opt out of this corporate and consumerist side of the internet. It's over when you're convinced that you cannot do so.

For me personally, this has made it easier to step away from places on the internet that had already started to go down the drain. It's as if the shitty part of internet finally consumes itself out of existence.

Instead, I now follow small personal blogs and niche forums where this is not an issue. Just people posting because they still believe in sharing and connecting, despite of generative AI.
Learn what, exactly? Anything can go sour, including community-run open source stuff. There is never any guarantee for the future about anything.
> what kind of environment are you writing in that it's so expressly prohibitive to quit after a day?

I think it’s admirable to try other languages for a day. I’ve spent less than a day noodling with dozens of languages that seem interesting. I’ve never tried dart, kotlin, elm or Scala. Why not? Is it prohibitively expensive? No. I just haven’t taken the time and the initiative.

More people should spend a day with go, even if they don’t stay around it’s still nice to learn something new!
Creeps are mostly people who aren't socially aware or don't care. And another side to this discussion is that if you hit on someone substantially more attractive than you, you're already signaling that you aren't very socially aware or don't care i.e. a creep.
How much are you selling your DX7 for?
I unfortunately can't find it right now, but I remember seeing a semi-famous quote from the 1950s/60s? calling out variable-speed windshield wipers as an absurd consumerist luxury emblematic of what's wrong with America.

The refrigerator camera sounds like the same kind of thing. Modestly useful feature that may well become standard-issue someday because the underlying components can be made very cheaply at scale.
The underlying assumption here is that their accusation has to make sense, but that's not the case. It only has to sound reasonable to Wall Street, so the managers can get money for a bit longer, until people are fed up.

Unsurprisingly, I think that piracy - whether blueray or streaming - isn't in any measurable way relevant to the current woes of Hollywood or even more specific Disney. They've made their bed, now they have to lie in it.
The only half decent fast railway (acela) in the US costs more than an uber+flight for the same trip.

I'm surprised anyone takes it at all.

US rail is starting at negative 100. Only a small group of masochists (raises hand) choose to inflict this on themselves.
I'm a native English speaker from the US, and a pedant who hates "ask" as a noun, "workshop" as a verb, and "performant" as a word. But I don't get the hate for "learnings" here. What's wrong with it? "Lessons" connotes negativity, "stuff I learned" doesn't naturally fit into many sentences, and "useful information gleaned" can be shoved right back up the tightly puckered ass it came out of.

What's the problem? That title is exactly the way I would have written it.
It was the same way with Trump. People had, and have, no idea who the man is because they only consume this ultra-refined vendetta-hatred filled hit pieces with little connection to reality. 95% of journalists voted Clinton. We can assume roughly the same amount are now aligned against Musk.

I don't really believe that it is easy to trigger. The thread would have to be preempted at a very specific point for a very specific duration, the other thread(s) would need to perform exactly 2^16 operations within that time window and the final operation would need to trigger the ABA problem. Possible, but extremely unlikely. (In some applications even impossible.) Do you happen to have some real world examples?

But yes, it is definitely something to be aware of!

BTW, if the pointers are always aligned, the sequence number may have a few bits more.
Love the design, but super uncomfortable with giving phones to toddlers as toys. For mine, the longer I can put it off the better. There are enough infants bumbling around the world already glued to screens, in imitation of their zombie parents (this is a general observation, not levelled at OP). For the inevitable “but kids need to learn how to use phones as tools” - tools for what? They are designed to consume you and your attention. I also don’t regard the ability to halt a conversation while you ‘look something up’ as a benefit.

Well that's the problem with correctness. I've seen this fail, in 20 years (that I noticed) about 20x. Let's assume I caught it 1% of the times I actually saw it so ... about once a week. More on slower networks.

This issue, not checking the number of bytes written, usually combined with incorrect EAGAIN handling, is a pretty pervasive problem in network programming. You will find the closer you get to 100% cpu usage, the more common this problem becomes, just like threading bugs. It's one of the ways a service goes from handling 5 Gbit at 90% cpu usage, then handling 5 kbps at 95% cpu usage (because everything suddenly errors out, then retries eat all the bandwidth). It's impossible to find if you don't know what you're looking for.

It's not this issue specifically: Golang programs, like C programs, are strongly incentivized to just keep going with incorrect data when other languages would crash.
Indeed. I enjoy working in Go and have written various things in it over the last 8 years. Last year I toyed with Rust (very different learning curve!) and still prefer Go for its simplicity and development speed. But, I would love to have Rust-style enums in Go. The 'similarly named constants pretending to be enums' and 'returning nil if not found' patterns suddenly started feeling wrong.
> What's it like to be dead inside

That's genuinely the quality of argument you want to mount? What, video games have left you unable to make a better account of yourself?

It's funny that you equate learning to do something better than button mashing as somehow being focused on "productivity". The hours you've wasted on blinking lights could have gone to learning a musical instrument or learning woodworking or learning painting, any number of practical skills that have absolutely nothing to do with "productivity" but build you greater capability than pointless, slot machine-like ephemera of no consequence ever will.

Don't try to rationalize the nature of video games as being something more than it is. Recognize it for what it is: a dead-end, go nowhere waste of your time.
They sell the tools to build private clouds.
VMWare is used in the cloud as an alternative option from docker container.

VMWare is also diving into K8S space, I'm sure they have some sort of "managed" service offering that bundles their K8S solution.

VMWare owns Spring Framework... that's a cloud toolkit.
Just leaving this here to contrast with the “murder tech good” vibe.

If your greatest achievement ended up with a bunch of people dead - maybe there would have been more utility in self-destruction.

If you feel like defending cool missile tech to avoid offending a potential juicy customer - maybe you need to get your family bombed and remember that “skin in the game” can be literal.

If you think that violence is necessary - maybe you need to be in situation where violence is a possible outcome to remember no one wants it.

Everyone deserves the receiving end of their designs.
Well, I mean -she's not wrong.
> They cancelled "All-American Muslim" because they couldn't get advertisers even though it was averaging 1 million viewers per show which would made it one of the most popular show on TLC.

Exactly the same "old school media" published an article today entitled "Elon Musk visits scene of kibbutz massacre with Benjamin Netanyahu". The article mentions Musks recent post as the reason for his visit. A key take away from the article is Benjamin Netanyahu saying of Musk:

“I hope you will be involved. And the fact that you came here, I think, speaks volumes to your commitment to try to secure a better future.”

That does not square in the slightest with doing anything they can to make him/them look bad. It presents Musk as a reasonable guy who received praise from the PM of Israel. The article is here:

And yet it's so easy and forgiving that millions of 13 year olds learned it for their myspace and tumblr pages over the last 15 or so years.

Somehow, despite all the CS graduates and 20 year software engineering veterans bemoaning it, more and more people learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript every day while the number of people learning native GUI development struggles to keep up or outright fades away. I truly believe that most software engineers don't understand what ergonomic software or programming languages look like. They're blinded by their expertise
I understand not wanting to bike shed on the actual number but I refuse to accept 80. I simply do not agree that the greybeards with 70s technology got it figured out perfectly in their day and nothing has changed.
I love my color laser, but depending on what you're printing they're either not ideal (photos) or not always possible (sublimation, transfers, some adhesives, most things involving heat; laser-specialized materials might be available but won't work as well).

Inkjet is also typically more viable for non-commercial borderless and supertabloid printing, like large prints and posters.
That's not the case.
They are breaking the law. They have (repeatedly) threatened strikers that they would take away their options which is how they managed to match compensation to begin with so this is very much a legal issue as well.

That's why so many sympathy strikes broke out. What Tesla execs need to realize is that the world isn't North America and that different countries have different relationships between labor and management. If they don't want that they should move their manufacturing out of the EU and live with the tariffs.

edit: apparently it's worse than just stock:

Also mentioned is holidays and insurance. It would be nice to find the original Swedish article.

The funny thing is that they may well win this suit and it will only backfire because it should have never come this far. So the workers will pick up even more sympathy. It's affecting their supply lines as well now.
It is tremendous to watch a power hungry, emotionally unstable industrialist run head long into an entire nation state labor movement. Learn to be a partner and not a bully and entire cohorts won't come at you knives out. But he cannot [1], so oh well.

"In the cloud" options are often much more expensive than what they should be due to customer expectations. The margins are much higher than in on-prem (where 80% "discounts" are common).
Ah ha now we're speaking my language! :)

Fun fact: "Mint" condition coins actually are measured on a 10-point scale (from 60 to 70...because...reasons...as part of a broader 70-point scale also because reasons).

In the video, note how the finished coins are unceremoniously ejected into a big bin straight after striking. During that process, many of the coins get little nicks and bumps and scratches. This has been the way for hundreds of years.

Because of this, most of the mass-production coins out there are far from perfect. So even among a group of coins literally hot off the presses, truly perfect ones (graded 70) are super hard to find. In the world of vintage coins (non-modern era - generally pre-1900), perfect 70s simply don't exist, and 69s go for $hundreds of thousands (or $millions).

This is different for modern coins, particularly for issues where the mints are marketing them specifically for collectors. 70s are easy to find. But for the true workhorse mass-market coins, perfection is not the norm.
