I was coming here to reference this actually. The Tabletop version is very similar. Wealth is abstracted, you're basically at a certain level or not. Far more important though are whether or not said item or thing is available, where, and if you have the connections to get a hold of it. I rather liked this as it places an emphasis on mobility, exploration, and roleplaying/socialization than whether or not you have enough gold. Fits very well in line with the general premise of the game. You're a privateer with the power of a planetary governor/high ambassador. If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it. =P

It can safely ignore the line length, gofmt does this and I've never heard anyone complain about it. The VSCode formatter also doesn't touch line breaks and it works fine.

Last time I looked into it, the only reason I can't turn it off is that Prettier works off an AST that doesn't keep the line breaks that the user put into the code at all, and it "rebuilds" the whole code from this AST.

The problem is not the diff per se, the real problem is that I can't find a configuration of Prettier where I can have long lines where it makes sense and short ones where that makes sense.
It's shocking how little we know about what is "good" and what is "bad" for the body. There are too many confounding factors around meat, such as using processed meats and meats cooked with seed oils.

For me, eating as clean as possible is the best approach. Find meat that isn't loaded up with hormones, antibiotics, or mold toxins. Find non-GMO vegetables that aren't loaded with pesticides. Limit carbs and dairy as much as possible. No stimulants, barbiturates, or other drugs.
What's it like to be dead inside, where every action simply must have a productive outcome? We don't get out of this world alive: have fun while you can, and bring that same joy to others. :P
> The Fourth Republic was overthrown by a military coup. De Gaulle did manage to restore democracy with his new constitution, largely because the military respected him personally more than they respected the institutions of the Fourth Republic. Military coups are not a sign of a resilient democracy and it’s a very rare thing for a military to reliably subordinate itself to a constitutional government.

That's fair, but wouldn't you say that the coup was made possible by the fourth constitution's bad design and not really attributable to the country's being a democracy? I don't know much about how that constitution was written, but just coming out of a war and an occupation with a collaborationist government can't have made the process easy.

> The Third Republic was also more responsible for its own end than you give it credit for. A minority of the government wanted to keep fighting, from Algeria if necessary, rather than surrender, but the majority were defeatists and fascist sympathizers. The armistice and collaboration was a deliberate choice that came from within the system, as was the reform of the Third Republic into the autocratic Vichy state. In fact, Germany didn’t even completely occupy France until after Operation Torch, when Darlan, the de facto leader of the Vichy government (Petain at this point being more of a figurehead), switched sides and openly cooperated with the Allies, ordering an end to French resistance in North Africa.

The question is, was loss in mainland France avoidable or not? Again, not much of a history buff, but France was defeated extremely quickly, so the choice the government had wasn't between "fight to keep the current republic" and "collaborate", but more between "lose the mainland and go resist from abroad" and "abandon control of the mainland to the Nazis and collaborate". That doesn't make the Vichy government any more moral but it does mean that the republic's end would have been forced from the outside in any case.

There are node modules already that call into WASM-wrapped rust. (One of the most common source map generation packages does exactly that and it is very heavily installed by a lot of frameworks and packagers today.)

I don't think prettier is intending to do that in this case, they seem to want to continue to compete as a pure JS implementation but having a "worst case, we WASM wrap biome as the future of prettier" possibility opens up future opportunities and pushes "internal" competition.
> React would be responsible for which elements need to be created and which can be updated in place.

That works for simple, read-only components. The moment the component starts managing its own interactivity you end up needing state, and at that point things break down. If you need to change props, you have to essentially recreate the component by changing key [1], and at that point, what is the benefit of React?

Agreed, but I do think the effects of the addiction are radically different between a social media app and a magazine.
I do not have anything specific. I have read threads where someone, usually with snark, responds with a comment of the sort "are you a bot?", or "you sound like chatGPT". That's probably only been a couple times over a few months, and I'm on HN reading threads multiple times a day, so it's not very frequent. But it does make me wonder... That distinctive ChatGPT style will become less recognizable. IMHO, bot content in the HN comments should be fairly low, but non-zero. I don't think there's much, if any, incentive to invest much in an HN comment bot, but with all these hackers/coders some would do it just out of curiosity/challenge.
If one course of action that does not even add more options of products to buy, just pushes them in a different way, contributes to worse health outcomes across a population, and you know it’s doing so, yes, that’s super unethical.
This is what happens when you start using the word "addiction" outside of contexts where it applies. You get these kinds of invalid and dangerous arguments comparing actually addictive substances that hijack incentive salience directly on the physiological level to a screen and speakers that most definitely do not.
Yes, but people are often interested in nutrition not to avoid 'worst outcomes', but to reduce risk factors as they age. Evolution isn't so good at selecting for diets that push the median life expectancy from 75 to 85.

Then what does spacetime being a continuum mean?

What's the point of being a continuum if nothing in it can have arbitrary values. If everything in the spacetime has discrete values, what's there still to be continuous?
> This statement cannot be more wrong. See continuum hypothesis for example.

1) ‘it seems that no mathematician has ever considered this’ would be even more (and certainly is) wrong, so my statement certainly could be more wrong (if indeed you think it is).

2) The absolute vast majority of mathematicians would struggle to even state the CH. If you’ve personally thought a lot about set theory, I can see why you might view the world otherwise.

About ‘professional mathematicians’, I too hesitated before writing that. Perhaps it is the wrong term. What I intended by it was ‘people who do (pure) mathematics for a living’, so basically mathematicians who work at a university and primarily carry out research. ‘Mathematicians’ would not suffice, since that’s an even more vague term used in all sorts of completely different ways. Please suggest a better term if you have one.

> Why would you think from this you can draw conclusion about “professional mathematician”?

I don’t. My conclusions are drawn from the sample I have, which includes quite a variety of mathematicians I’ve chatted with online and in person. In case it’s the word ‘tutor’ that confused you, it’s worth mentioning that the person in question is a renowned mathematician (and professor, which means something in the UK, unlike in the US) who has been doing research for about four decades. If that’s not ‘pro’ then I don’t know what is.

My comment doesn’t directly address the article and isn’t physics-related so I’m sorry if that means I’ve ‘missed the point’. I was just adding something I thought might be of interest to others, and it seems it was.
In a lot of cases it is necessary complexity, between overloading the dot operator, wrapping SQL, and supporting multiple database backends. There is a fair bit of bloat, though.

Mission Impossible: Kubernetes Operator Failure Story (Kafka)
Yesterday we had a Kubernetes version upgrade automatically initiated by DigitalOcean which broke our Kafka instance and I solved it with a somewhat atypical, insane solution, by reading the operator code, understanding it, patching it and deploying it manually. (keep in mind, I have never looked at this codebase.)

https://github.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/issues/6136#issuecomment-1828476027

What seemed impossible, becomes possible. No matter the layer of complexity, your Kubernetes operator, the Kubernetes codebase, you can DOWNLOAD IT, MODIFY IT and PUSH IT. This is NOT the first time I've cloned code that may seem complicated to fix and understand and did it.

The lesson is basically this:

Give yourself no limits, you will have no limits. Dive deeper!

Of course other lessons (which are more obvious.)

1.Make sure you upgrade your software

2. If your backups are disk snapshots, you may not be able to actually recover from them if the running software cannot resume

This is a ridiculous, arbitrary judgment that has nothing to do with anything even remotely related to this post. This type of pedantry is low-brow and annoying.
Can't merge PR's.
The problem with error checking is that Go doesn't cover every case BY FAR.

EVERY memory allocation can fail. And I mean EVERY.

var x := 5 // where's the error handling?

EVERY kernel call can fail. Even this is still not a 100% correct way to call fmt.Printf("Hello, World!"):

s := "Hello, World!")
writtenSoFar := 0
while writtenSoFar < len(s) {
bytesWritten, err := fmt.Print(s[writtenSoFar:]) // and even this is a recent syntax addition.
if errno, ok := err.(syscall.Errno); ret == -1 && ok {
// error signaled
if errno == C.EAGAIN {
time.Sleep()
continue
} else {
return err
}
writtenSoFar += bytesWritten
}

If you don't do this, you will find, for example, that writing large amounts of data to a network socket suddenly only sends half the output to the other side. Plus anything could set O_NONBLOCK on stdout, which would require this. And time.Sleep() is required in some cases where the program redirects os.Stdout to itself.

Even this does not take have proper reactions if an OOM occurs somewhere. So it is still not correct.

It's like C. Simple Go looks correct and just chugs along, destroying data instead of crashing. This makes people feel programs run correctly ... but they don't.
I agree, but they still might have the bytes somewhere. That was my point. Users or admins can feel or think what they want - I'm talking about the actual truth.
We probably also need the AI to simulate our style of speech, including all those weird stuffs such as stuttering and accent.
It works great for me. I recommend it. I’m not sure what working at Google has to do with recommending or not.

I don’t use any of the non-core services because I expect them to be killed off soon anyway. For contacts, email, docs, and drive it works great. YouTube as well.

I have a “regular” Gmail account in case I need to use any niche services that don’t work with my Workspace account.

Overall the trade off is well worth it.
Ask yourself the same question about an OLAP system. Once you’re at a large enough scale, it makes sense to use tools custom designed for your access patterns.

I work on Azure SQL, but it’s pretty clear that this is a cool demo. It may scale for some usages, but I wouldn’t build a production system on it.

A huge downside of that it that adding a new (public) struct field will be an incompatible change. And what people will do is add a non-public struct field with a setter method, both to avoid the compatibility break but also because for many of these fields the defaults are just fine (even though sometimes they're not) and no one lines having tons of boring boilerplate.
If you've made it and released it to a the public (and it has paid tiers!) then you better have made it right. This is the case for both buildings and data storage systems.

WASIX is similar to the JVM in the sense that is able to use a common abstraction for all operating systems, and it uses a VM under the hood (Wasm).

But the main difference is that it has sandboxed capabilities (similar to docker), do you can granularly add permissions to only certain directories or even disable networking when running.

.iter()

.map(|ct| (ct.name, ct.temp) )

I'm not talking about regular users or workspace admins. I understand its lost TO the users.

I am simply bringing up the point Google probably has the bytes somewhere. Why are we talking about hearts and minds here? This is a purely technical statement.

> Their on-prem IT is more expensive than public cloud.

Not really. Most of those companies have lax Cloud Cost Management hygiene and/or the Cloud Platform team is separate from the Infra/Servers team.

If you are F250 you can probably negotiate a nice discount if you are able to fully migrate to a single cloud, but most companies don't want to keep all their eggs in a single basket. This means larger organizations cannot avail competitive discounts on public cloud.

By bundling Private Cloud (VMWare ESXi), Network Security (VMWare NSX), APM (CA Wiley), Endpoint Protection (Symantec Enterprise), and Data Security (Symantec Enterprise) I can purchase 5 critical pieces of Enterprise Infrastructure using a single PO. This is critical at large organizations as any PO above $30k almost always requires CFO or Comptroller approval, and a single PO to Broadcom satisfies your Infra, DevOps, and Security needs (which are all cost centers if you aren't a tech company).

Btw, Broadcom themselves is almost entirely on GCP [0]. Almost all their infra and products are served using a GCP stack on the backend.

> the people on the receiving end of the regulations

This sometimes does include the average citizen. In particular various ecodesign rules resulted in household devices being forcibly replaced with versions perceived as inferior (whether justifiedly or not), and most washing machines will default to an EU mode that doesn't work well, takes exactly two hours and 59 minutes, but is more energy efficient.

The EU also has serious problems with a lack of democratic oversight, sometimes leading to legislation that couldn't be passed on a lower level getting reintroduced through the EU "back door" on behalf of either governments or lobbyists. The parliament, for example, doesn't get to propose laws - only the commission does! And by being "far away" from the public eye, bad proposals can often get very far before civil society even realizes they exist.

I still think even the legislative influence is a net positive, and the practical benefits of standardization and open borders are massive, but let's not pretend it's perfect and purely awesome for "the little guy".
