Yeah I get it, I was there.

It is super hard if you actually know C/C++ or mastered a GC language. Rust won’t like some patterns at all and will fight you.

The point is, there are replacements for those patterns that are safer, about as performant and simultaneously easier to reason about by both you and the compiler. To stop fighting, you must switch to them. Old ways will not work. This is by design and a key point of Rust.

A single, concrete example: do not use references in object graphs. Use an array and indexes into it. If you have a dynamic structure with many additions and deletions, use generational indexing.

Fiddling around with FM, I've found it easy to dial in interesting sounds but very difficult to find sounds that are "musical" so it's difficult to actually incorporate them into a piece of music. I guess the wild success of the built-in patches of something like the DX7 proves that this is down to my own lack of skill but FM synthesis seems somewhat chaotic - a small adjustment to one parameter can cause a wild swing in the sound.

> Lantana camara (common lantana) is a species of flowering plant within the verbena family (Verbenaceae), native to the American tropics ... it was brought to Europe by Dutch explorers and cultivated widely, soon spreading further into Asia and Oceania where it has established itself as a notorious weed, ... L. camara is listed in the IUCN's “List of the world's 100 worst invasive species”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantana_camara

The list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_of_the_World's_Worst_Invas... includes

> Chromolaena odorata - Invasive in tropical Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. Native to Neotropics.

> Euglandina rosea - Invasive in Indian and Pacific Ocean islands. Native to the southeastern United States.

> Leucaena leucocephala - Native to Central America, invasive throughout other tropical regions.

> Lithobates catesbeianus (American bullfrog) - Invasive in Central and South America, the Caribbean, Western Europe, and East Asia. Native to eastern North America.

> Micropterus salmoides (widemouth bass) - Invasive worldwide. Native to the eastern United States

>OK, but we passed a constitutional amendment saying the opposite

Which amendment is that? The 21st repealing prohibition did not make any value statements on whether prohibition was ever good policy, it merely repeals the amendment banning alcohol.

> and the so-called "War on Drugs" operates in defiance of the spirit of that amendment.

There is no "spirit of [the] amendment". It repealed a ban on alcohol. Alcohol was undeniably an extreme social ill before prohibition.

Housing prices are controlled by local supply & demand; there's no way housing is going to be remotely comparable between let's say the UK and Romania; the majority of properties would stay empty forever if they were priced like in the UK.

Same thing for most consumer goods - they have a (very low) base price and the rest is pure profit margin which is adjusted according to the local purchasing power. Consumer goods in Romania would be much cheaper than in a Western European country; whether by existing manufacturers lowering their profit margins to match local purchasing power, or other manufacturers managing to fill this gap in the market by selling at more affordable prices.

This is Buick. They sell ~100k/year in the US.

This half is responsible for ~20k/year, or 2k/dealer. It is pretty easy to see why a dealer selling such low volumes might not want to make a big investment.

Buick is a nearly dead brand, TBH. If GM had been smart (lol), they'd have kept Pontiac and sent away Buick years ago. They made the wrong choice.
The mailing list discussion has been (surprisingly) supportive: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fe...

Maybe things are different with Japanese immigration authorities, but posting this feels dangerous.

In other countries there's a lot of attention on "fraudulent" visas, and it's often vague what "fraudulent" means. I'd be worried that some of the 'tricks' in here (the admission that the business doesn't really need to be in Japan, the office arrangement, etc.) could make immigration authorities revoke the visa if they feel it was done under false pretences.
> How is he marrying Japanese nationals so quickly?

Interestingly phrased question, but I will bite:

1. We don’t know how long the courting period was for any of his marriages (he mentions two).

2. For women who are disposed to getting married, my direct and indirect experience is that they often make the go / no-go decision fairly quickly — think weeks (or even days) rather than months or years.

3. As another poster said, he probably has relatively high income and decent social status in Japan.

4. The marriage market is not very good in Japan right now. The changes that led to the lost decade in the 90s is starting on its 4th decade (imho). Significant aspects of the social contract that bound Japanese society together from post-ww2 to the late 80s was largely destroyed, with young people (many of whom are not so young now) left to pick up the pieces. Marriage, much less kids, seems daunting when one’s income is not stable, and this economic instability is not uncommon.

5. A less popular observation is that there is no shortage of Japanese women, especially in Tokyo, who want to marry foreign men. There are a variety of potential reasons for this disposition, with self-serving interests being a non-zero percentage of these reasons across the population. Common self-serving reasons I have seen or heard are things like escape Japanese society, escape family, get a US green card, milk a sugar daddy, etc. On a rare occasion there are very (what I call) cosmopolitan women who quite naturally fit into an international oriented lifestyle and/or community.

The primary difference is directly connecting injuries and deaths with the action, rather than indirectly connecting them.

> [elite’s HR issues]

We share this thought.

My pet theory regarding the recruitment efforts of this class: two broad fronts, one to drive the herd and the other to pick candidates.

The first front permeates our head space in form of content in the full spectrum of the bandwidth of this class: entertainment, news, organizations. Here the message is insistently that “Only suckers play straight”, “crime pays”, “winners and losers”. This is a consistent message.

The second front is more selective and here I am speculating (unlike the former which one gets to experience first hand, whether one likes it or not.) Here I suspect a more ‘direct’ sales pitch is used, and likely references the former.

Imagine you are a bright young thing from ‘not money’ raised in that “cultural” environment just mentioned. Now you open your favorite “journal of record”. You read barely disguised lies, note how these lies lead designated demographics by the NOSE with them not even aware of this fact, and finally your mentor has a conversation with you:

“Do you really think that the general population, these same people we were discussing being led by the nose with lies, are actually capable of self-governance and should have a say in “important” matters?”
> Experts who read the NY Times know how to read through the intentional narrative/propaganda

The parent already cited the Iraq War coverage, in which they incited the country to violence with known lies, leading to hundreds of thousands of innocent civilian deaths. If this isn’t enough to swear you off their coverage, I honestly don’t know what else would.

But to your point, the NY Times has millions of readers and this is a very small subsection of their audience. Which do you think is a more important function of journalism: lying to the masses in a way that is understood to be propaganda by your so-called “experts” or telling the majority of people the truth in the first place?
we still are exceptionally bad at managing large in-groups (or ostensible in-groups).

discord is a perfect example, you can fairly easily maintain relationships with 10 groups of 50 people, but 500 people is a chore
Rent in Romania is similar to Western Europe? I thought the income levels were very very different.
What was ever the point of the $PREFIX/bin vs $PREFIX/sbin division, anyway?

I understand the historical reasoning for the / vs /usr vs /usr/local split —

• / was a mount of the machine vendor's installation-engineering-provided bring-up tape — a tape that could usually be safely unmounted once boot was complete and the kernel + persistent daemons had loaded into RAM. (We still have something akin to this in Linux land in the form of the initramfs!)

• /usr was a read-only-mounted OS distribution, either spooled onto the same tape drive that had been reading the rootfs tape a moment before, or (later) over NFS from a high-read-IOPS shared disk server, where in either case the mountpoint was expected to never go away while the OS was running, and therefore the loader could spawn binaries from here using flushable memory-mapped disk IO (allowing far more running processes to fit within the machine's limited memory — important for time-sharing!);

• /usr/local was a separate site-specific mount of stuff added by the local sysadmin — often created as a separate "tacked on the end" partition on the OS distribution tape (you could just attach more tape on the end of the reel, and then format it!) Later, once machine-local hard disks were a thing but Unix systems were still generally mounting /usr over NFS, /usr/local evolved to be the read-only partition of the machine-local HD (and such systems gained a matching read-write local-disk partition, /var.)

But $PREFIX/bin and $PREFIX/sbin were, as far as I know, always just regular directories under the same $PREFIX-level mountpoint, never separate mountpoints of their own.

The only difference I can even think of between a $PREFIX/bin and a $PREFIX/sbin dir, is that the $PREFIX/sbin dir wasn't in $PATH for most users. But surely that was never a real line of defense for security?
It's delusional to think that people will move to Linux. Not calling you out specifically, but this common refrain "move to Linux" will not happen on aggregate. Just as it didn't happen until now.
The point being, everyone has one.
It isn't so much that they're mainly found in religious texts as that the most common English translation of the Bible is still the King James Version which is over 400 years old and "thou" was still part of the English language back then.

The other other English text most people are familiar with that is older than the KJV would be the works of Shakespeare which arguably need to be translated to modern English at this point. English language works older than Shakespeare such as Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Beowulf are pretty much always read in translation.
Amen.

My interview questions eventually settled to having the candidate bring in a sample of their code and then teaching me how it worked.

We'd talk about what it did, what they thought they'd change to make it better, and so on.

Learned a ton really quickly and didn't waste anyone's time.

The last tech job I interviewed for they had me spend a lot of time working a sample application. When I thought about how many person hours were going into that across all the candidates, I immediately felt the company didn't have a sense of efficiency. Sure, it didn't cost them, but the fact they were fine just wasting time like that was telling.

Didn't get that job. But got a better one. :)
Btw, Ceausescu was executed on this very day, December 25, thirty-four years ago. I was in the 3rd grade and our very distressed primary school teacher told us that some bad people in Romania have overthrown the Communist Party rule! That was the first political information session I ever was put into, and, luckily, there weren't much more of them later due to the dissolution of the USSR.
It sounds like the tested vehicles weren't the same as actual production cars. Choosing to cheat on airbags seems like a big deal though.

>The misconduct also included false reports on headrest impact tests and test speeds for some models. The investigation found cases of misconduct were particularly prevalent after 2014 and, for one already-discontinued Daihatsu vehicle, went back as far as 1989.
Just like the Turing Test turned out to be a bad metric, maybe transistor count isn’t the best metric to stand the test of time. Transistor count used to matter more in chip design and now there are just more important factors. It’s silly allocating resources to prop up a misaligned incentive.
the claim (sqrt(2) being irrational) needing material evidence can be reduced even further to the number two needing material evidence. I'm not posing this either for/against your argument, just saying at some point you can doubt the existence of 2 itself. (handing me 2 items doesn't count, what is ... two?)
More granular filesystems limits the blast radius of filesystem corrupting events.

Hard disks used to fail pretty often, filesystems had (and still have) bugs. It makes sense to stick your administrative utilities needed to run/recover a given system in its own little less frequently modified filesystem vs. user applications that tend to see more churn/use in general.

It's not strictly a disk space issue.
What's 'new' is that someone started making a big deal about bamboo as the feedstock about 15, 20 years ago, as a renewable material. Apparently the rayon process was patented in 1892.
> Governments should stop subdizing rich people's EVs and insteead help make more efficient and cheaper ICE engines.

In the US the government has been helping (by a definition of "helping" that means "forcing the development of by tightening emissions and efficiency requirements") that development of more-efficient for decades.

It's not an either-or for that vs EVs. And it's also not exactly popular either; not hard to find people bemoaning the loss of naturally-aspirated engines and higher displacement. The market has repeatedly also chosen "more powerful" over "cheaper" for decades now.

Possibly some targeting of hybrid subsidies as well would help, but it seems like a lot of hybrids are already doing quite well in the market (e.g. Ford Maverick), so I'm not entirely sure why manufacturers aren't already moving in that direction more after being initially surprised by the demand.

But I'm also very unconvinced that cheaper ICE engines or more hybrids are what Buick dealers want.
Have any examples of what's being fixed?
I'd do that pretty much every playthrough when I got to the woods where you find Yuffie. I'd farm limit breaks up to lvl3 on the groups of 5-6 little bug guys that you can run into. By the time I'd get my limits to 3 they'd all be pretty OP in terms of their level.
This isn't a universal problem though: only Instagram and Facebook have these accusations
Thank you for your hard work!!
I believe your analysis conflates economic systems with political ones. The U.S. doesn’t have an entirely free market capitalism system (see: farm subsidies which fed into supermarket propaganda) and China doesn’t have an entirely planned economy.

As far as political systems go, the collapse of China seems to always be around the corner. But in reality, the U.S. seems to be much closer to civil war. No faction stormed the Capitol in Beijing when Xi was appointed. And even if our political system is not overthrown, it may die the death of 1000 cuts. How much can you honestly say Congress represents the People’s vs lobbyists (professional bribery) and PAC interests?
I remember similar things. Running Windows 2000, even going back to Win98 on my first PC (shipped with XP before SP1) and also running Windows 2003 Server at some point, all just to avoid XP. After SP2, it was fine.

Gotta love the comment section, anyone can write anything they feel like, regardless of...well anything.
The author writes, about his purchases of computers, phones, and other hardware, “These are not recurring so I can't count them in.”

Here in the U.S., many such items would be considered capital assets, for which the cost would be recognized as an expense over time through depreciation, for both management accounting and tax purposes. It appears Romanian practice is similar; see “Depreciation” on this page:

Excluding all the bells and whistles, as well as the incentives. The ground loop and heat pump package comes to $48k.

However, I paid significantly less than that even with all of the additions. As the incentives and discounts reduced it by about ~14k. The tax credits are ~13.5k, which won’t be realized until this upcoming tax season.
Honestly, small talk still seems like it’s from the future compared to the micro services glued together approach that is mainstream of today.

That's because they're very closely related languages. English is a mix of Anglo-Saxon and Norman French, after the Norman invasion of England in the 11th century. Norman French is how the Norse diaspora in Normandy mixed their Germanic tongue with the local dialects of Latin. And the Romance and Germanic languages are both pretty closely related branches of Indo-European, which is also a pretty narrow language family to start with. For example, 'tu' from French comes from mixing Norse 'du' with Latin 'tuus'...both of which come from deeper roots. Proto Indo-European reconstructs this as 'tuH'.
The issue in that respect is that they flood the coils in a helium bath, instead of utilizing additional structures like channels/nozzles to provide the same rate of freshly cooled helium to the heat sources as the bath does, but with far less helium required in the system.
Could you please elaborate on what exactly you hope I change my outlook on.
The structure is purely a demonstration. It appears to be built on the company's ground, so there's a lot less red tape and they can show it off to potential buyers easily. Also the area is flat and has no natural obstacles like a river, with a low population density (it's actually near Lyon's main airport) so it's less likely that vandalism or accidents could cause damage to the structure.
RT doesn't provide "alternative views". It's pure, unfiltered propaganda. Can you honestly navigate there, read something and then claim "yeah, just another viewpoint"?
This is just speculation, but maybe there is a secondary rupture disk that vents the helium inside the room when the primary path (the exhaust to the outside) is blocked. And maybe that secondary rupture disk is too strong, so another random part of the helium containment fails, blowing up the machine and possibly injuring the patient. But please note again that this is pure speculation.
can? it's the only feature which is actually cost effective. all other uses are only happening because compute is heavily subsided for now
