Nokia and Blackberry had far more phone-making experience than Apple when the iPhone launched.

But if you can't bring that experience to bear, allowing you to make a better product - then you don't have a better product.
Google needs to pay someone to come up with better demos. Atleast this one is 100x better than the talking to pluto dumb demo they came up with few years ago.
Spotify had roughly 9,000 employees prior to the layoffs. What if they took the approach of X and let go of 80% of their staff - where would that put them?

1,800 staffers.

Just throwing this out there - I've worked for companies producing far more sophisticated products with under 500 employees in total. I'm honestly not understanding why you would need 1,800 employees - and that's an 80% reduction from where they were!
Typically in the US, nobody at any point in the process gives a shit if a home is or will become moldy, except sometimes the person living in the home. It's especially bad for renters who in many states have almost no legal protections (and if they do have them, accessing them is incredibly difficult).

I wonder how much of the therapeutic benefit from psychologists is actually just having an empathetic listener as you “rubber ducky” debug yourself.

Along the same lines, I wonder if the reliance on psychologists is a symptom or our increasing isolation. Whereas in the past, people would have gone to a priest, rabbi, older relative, family friend, they now go to a psychologist.
Choice quote from this article about a study in Korea:

> Finally, data on transportation modes—such as car, public transit, and walking—are not available in the KWCS database. Different transportation modes may lead to different physical and mental health effects (White and Rotton, 1998).

That seems like a big understatement. I expect in roughly increasing order of depression, or decreasing order of satisfaction:

walking, biking, train, subway, bus, car
> Personally, I don't understand why they advocate this.

It seems easier to explain if you don't mind choosing from a nice range of conspiracy theories about what systemd is and why it has spread like a virus.
I think people are thinking of it too much like a logic puzzle.

What’s going on is word association and word use frequency.

Because it trusts its own output more than it trusts the person it is talking to, by getting it to say a bunch of words about a topic you have basically “distracted it” where the distraction outweighs the initial prompt.

Any sort of additional layer of role play causes it to focus on the wrong layer but then poison its own working memory.
The Case for Memory Safe Roadmaps
Counterpoint: don’t do this. The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

Some co-workers and I inherited a code-base where the authors went down the views and stored procedures route. It was basicallly impossible to untangle; there was no knowing what relied on a view or a proc, so you couldn’t touch them at all, there were no docs, there were duplicates of everything (and again, no way to know what’s used). A good number of them had all kinds of side effects and weird performance characteristics. They weren’t version controlled.

The issues just kept going.

PHP doesn't have many negatives. Even the go-to negatives aren't really. Many cite "rebuilding the environment everytime" as a con, but it's a pro in terms of horizontal scaling/load balancing. I for one would like PHP to have generics. It doesn't have that and plausibly will never have it (without a superset like TypeScript for JS).

The program RAM is the columns of the LUTs, 64 bits/cell.

The Data RAM is the latches of the data flowing through the LUTs, 4 bits/cell.

I've thought it likely that edge I/O would be best.

The debug tooling would ideally map everything as 2 chunks of RAM, program and state, thus allowing random I/O via a host CPU or DMA.

The major hurdle after that is software for compiling and routing, which I intend to build

My emulator runs at a good clip, 32 x 32 cells at about 35 khz, or 1024 x 1024 at about 16 hz. I haven't multi threaded it yet, but I can. That should give about 4x performance

Maybe an emulator library for the Arduino would be a good idea?

The Google chip shuttles should be a good way to get it implemented for real.

How do you propose the functions should run if you don't have JavaScript enabled?
I disagree. Yes, they don't have to know how to program a PDF redaction tool, but they should certainly be proficient in using one. One of the functions of a lawyer is deciding what information another party doesn't need to know, and if they leak it in such a way, that's definitely a failure on their part, even if the software should have been more clear.
I think Playstation is doing the muddying.

Did people "buy" something? Was that the word used? If so, shouldn't they have an expectation of "ownership"? If so, then Playstation has destroyed or stolen someone's property.

That's why I wanted to get into the nitty-gritty of "What does to mean to own something?" because it appears that there are various groups, not just pirates, who would like to impose their own definitions, just as the RIAA attempted to state that copying was equal to theft, despite copying not depriving anyone else of the use and enjoyment of the original property.
There was a follow up paper that coupled this with an autonomous lab and was able to reproduce a lot of the structures.
> At a concept level, that's exactly the same thing.

But at a practical level they very different. If you have a middleware layer as you are describing, it's written in a real programming language with all the adjacent tools (source control, debugging, etc).

I'm not hard-core against stored procedures used lightly but they have a lot of downsides and they simply aren't needed. There's no performance advantage. There are complexity advantages and disadvantages that might be a wash.
Considerably less than that. So much so that our 1 Gbps uplink was enough for a few thousand streams. But so much more expensive and with such lousy compression ratio that you could to much better today for less. Apples to apples.
As I understand it: In Germany, a court of appeal at that level will generally only allow a further appeal if general questions of law are concerned, according to its assessment. This is likely in order to protect the higher instances from being flooded with appeals on non-fundamental issues. As mentioned by TFA, there is still a procedure to object to such a decision, but it comes with higher hurdles for providing justification for objecting.

I mentioned a country that is known for modern-day slavery

You went off on a wild tangent about slavery when they were making a point about python conference organizers.

Just because someone says the word 'slavery' while emphasizing their point doesn't mean it makes sense to unload some unrelated slavery facts.

Let's for the moment assume that you are right, then they shouldn't have bought it in ... 2006, all of 17 years ago. And if they are short of money why are they pushing more and more junk on people? Let's start with switching off autoplay by default, limiting videos to 640x480, and offering creators to pay for the hosting so that their video can be shipped, just like I pay for the hosting of my web servers.

Their whole position is horribly inconsistent.
You can, but once again comes back to time and money. Some degrees at some unis (esp in engineering) have no time for extra classes, unless you want to spend an extra semester or two in school. Which can get very costly, especially when many scholarships only support 4 years of study.
I've been trying it out on a small project for the last few hours and I am quite enjoying it! I tried copilot and was very disappointed.

Okay, I partly take back what I said in my sibling post. Your "(req) => {..}" lambda has to be constrained only to contain inflight methods.

Yes, it can be done by either building the contents of the lambda in some truly horrid way (you'd effectively be building an AST at runtime). The alternative is to get hold of the AST/parse tree at runtime (which I believe.NET can do if you ask it nicely, but that is very specifically .NET) which you can then analyse.

The first way is utterly vile though workable and language agnostic, the second way is definitely tied to one platform. If there's third way I can't think of it ATM.
You can also VPN to a country that they don't serve ads to.
I realize I'm posting this a bit late, but I'm hoping it's not too late for it to be seen. Like apparently so many others here, I don't like asking for help, so it took me a while to decide to bite the bullet and post.

I've been laid off in August, and I've been looking for work since. Unfortunately, nothing has really panned out yet, but I'm nearly out of funds (due to health issues, I couldn't save nearly as much as I'd wanted to). I recently started part-time work at a farm in exchange for room and board, hoping it would leave me enough time to do remote freelance work to bring in cash, but they just let me go because their own coffers are dry.

Right now, I have almost no cash left, and I came to the nearest big city (Munich, Germany), planning to look for a full-time job in a store or a cafe to keep a roof over my head, and do remote freelancing in the time I'll have available after work. About $500 to cover food and hostel accommodation over the next two weeks would be a major boost that would make my job search much easier, as I only have money for about two days of food and housing, and without any extra funds, I suppose I'll have to spend time every day after that figuring out food and housing.

Also, I realize it's a very big ask, but if $1.5k were somehow possible, that would probably change my life, as I would have enough to cover food and hostel lodging until I get my first monthly paycheck from the new service or retail job, assuming I can get it in the next week or two. That would give me stability again, and I would have a much higher chance of keeping that new job, which in turn would give me a much higher chance of achieving stability again long-term.

I hope it goes without saying that I tremendously appreciate any help at all. Of course, I'll be happy to provide any additional information, at any time. Once again, Alexander, thank you so much for offering to help in this way.
The short answer is yes - but not as tightly as you'd think. We don't need a deep awareness of what the JVM is doing, e.g. its internal data structures are largely opaque to us.

When we need to reconstruct state we always have the option of time travelling the process and re-executing to drill down on the details, though that's only required when you're replaying a recording.

One of the code generators in the Awesome Smithy list is at least more like "AWS adjacent": https://github.com/smithy-lang/smithy-dafny. Besides being able to generate Dafny clients for AWS services, it also uses Smithy as a foreign-function interface to let Dafny code interoperate with multiple other languages.

There's also the fact that `smithy-scala` was developed by Disney rather than Amazon.

> How do people measure whether static typing would help or not in any particular section of code?

Whether or not you are getting bug reports in production that static typing would have caught prior to deployment *merely by adding types* to your existing functions/implementations, and where adding trivial-to-write dynamic type checks/assertions is too onerous.

Dynamic type assertions are nice because they progressively insert static typing (they are caught by unit test == compile time) into dynamic languages, without having the full overhead of a static type checker. As a bonus, the technique can be used for assertions that are still research areas for static typing.

Separately, there are a lot of way language-supported static typing can help by completing changing the nature of the solution to a problem—see Haskell for what that looks like.

In my experience though, if I'm going to go through the trouble of adopting static typing everywhere, I just bite the bullet and go to full model checking with something like Alloy or TLA+. Different developers have different experiences, it's very dependent on the kind of code you write.

Instead of addressing the major performance gaps of functional programming, they instead just adopted “data oriented programming” in order to intentionally confuse people and try to drown out the clear and obvious performance pitfalls with data oriented programming.

For a fairly horrifying example of how parser function templates looked, here's an old version of the Convert template from the English Wikipedia:

Consider for a moment a world in which not every mind is as self-possessed and self-assured as yours.

Consider further a world in which there are many minds for whom sensitivity to being wrong is such a high priority, as you seem to want it to be, that they may try and avoid formulating stances or taking positions at all. Lest they be wrong.

Sometimes it can be helpful to have someone explain to you how you have to have some confidence in your own capacity for intuition, your own ability make decisions, in order to make anything happen.

I certainly won't argue that there are probably a lot of ineffective practitioners out there, but to me that speaks to the difficulty of the task, of tuning between insecurity and confidence and arrogance. It doesn't suggest to me the task, or the institution that is still in its earliest years of trying to formally study it, is fundamentally flawed.

CRT TV screens and monitors come in a 4:3 aspect ratio, so you need 320x240 or 640x480 for a "true" square pixel grid. (Unless you manually adjusted the horizontal and vertical stretch on the monitor to letterbox the image, but very few people would've done that). None of the common screen resolutions on the Amiga matches that exactly, though the 320x256 and 640x512 (interlaced) PAL resolutions were reasonably close for casual purposes.
