I have such little patience for that kind of person. In slack (well mattermost, but it's essentially the same thing) you can copy the direct link to a message and it'll re-embed it if you link to it in a subsequent message.

Consultancies predicting something isn't forecasting, it is marketing.

And there or only a rare few thing I disagree more stongly with the statement, that good modellers / data scientist / whatever only need knowledge about how to model stuff to beat domain experts. It takes domain experts to judge whether or not a model correct, to identify the known and unknown unknowns and limitations of these models. Claiming otherwise is deeply arrogant, and it ended in disaster everytime I saw it tried. Good modellers need enough domain knowledge to properly work with, and understand, domain experts. And domain experts need sufficient knowledge about modelling to do the same. Both need the willingness to do so. And every modeller needs to accept that reality beats models, always.
You can use a loop and a stack and can get recursion without adding all the overhead of a function call.
Most software doesn't really handle memory allocation failures too well.

malloc() can fail, everyone knows this in theory, but assume you're the programmer handling the malloc() error -- you know the system is likely to have already run out of free memory -- how do you make the program fail gracefully without doing anything at all to allocate memory?

It's not even safe to call printf() since it might have to allocate a new string. There are very few things in modern code that doesn't "incidentally" allocate a couple bytes here and there.

Not to mention languages higher level than C where you don't directly call malloc() but have the language handle it for you (GC etc.). Handling OOM for those programs is even more impossible because you really have no idea whatever class/method/function you're calling is going to trigger an allocation or not.

The best you can do in those cases is try to commit critical data (if any) to disk and have the program die ASAP. Which is not that different from having the kernel kill it for you.
Then, however else you'd want it to be, states do come and go too, regions change hands...

Personally I find this game too difficult to be pleasurable. It’s like the difference between playing an easy-medium sudoku and a real hard sudoku. The former is relaxing whilst the latter is frustrating, time consuming and requires 100% concentration.

I like to relax while playing games :)

It was ironic that I lived in Brazil but because the entire office there spoke Portuguese they always sent me to the Spanish speaking countries. At that point I liked to travel and didn't mind staying in fancy hotels in Argentina and Chile. So all those conversations were in Spanish.

Yep, the only way to ensure that your identifiers are "permanent" is to choose them such that people have zero reason to change them. They should bear no relationship to any real-world feature that people care about, such as phone numbers, email addresses, national IDs, names, fingerprints, etc.

Random strings fit the bill perfectly. Sequential integers also work fine, except they are easy to guess, so you might need additional security measures.
Dan approached the problem from a qualitative perspective. Perhaps if more people took this approach over quantitative maximalism we would actually have products that don’t drive us fucking insane.

Don’t we have the problem where, because so many people view housing as an investment, the demand for housing exceeds the number of residents? I.e., there’s an incentive to maintain scarcity, so that people’s investments don’t lose value. How do you keep the new housing supply from being instantly bought up by investors rather than residents?

FF objected because they didn't want to do the work, but they're now doing that work making proper tail calls work in WASM, so their objection is irrelevant now. MS objected that Windows APIs made PTC slow, but they now use Chrome, so they don't have an excuse today either.

There's nothing inherently insecure about proper tail calls and that is pure FUD.

That just leaves Google. They chose to die on the hill of syntactic tail calls and are still refusing to implement the spec. The only reason left is their pride and emotional investment in STC.

Even back then, Safari was implementing and had more marketshare than Edge and FF combined (now 2.5x their combined market share with FF only having around 3% share today).

I'm tired of bad excuses and want them to actually implement the now 8 year old spec properly.

On the one hand, I'm not sure the data corroborates that. If this is a web problem and not a search engine problem, then I'd expect every search engine to have the same pattern of scam results.

I'd also argue that finding relevant results among a sea of irrelevant results is the primary function of a search engine. This was as true in 1998 as it is today. In fact, it was Google's "killer feature", unlike Altavista and the likes it showed you far more relevant results.
If build quality, mechanical build quality that is, matters to you: take an EV from a legacy car manufacturer.
I don’t have a background in this but I was under the impression that much of algorithmic trading is that there are trillions of pennies lying around and if you have an algorithm that picks up those pennies faster than anyone else, you make a lot of money. So it’s capitalizing on tiny market inefficiencies rather than directional predictions.
A short history of the rust-analyzer can be found here[1].

> The rust-analyzer project was started at the very end of 2017 (first commit). At that time, the existing LSP implementation, RLS, had been providing IDE support for Rust for several years.

By 2017, Rust had just basic IDE support with RLS and it was already quite popular. I completely reject your theory that the success of rust-analyzer is due to "the fact these IDEs worked great". It was Rust's success, even while having quite poor tooling, that brought people in to work on improving the tooling (to a point most other languages never reach).

> it took surprisingly little effort to get to a prototype which was already useful as an IDE, which happened in Autumn 2018

So, yeah it takes little effort to get a basic IDE... that's where most languages (e.g. D, Nim) stop... the hard part is to get something that's really good.

> At that critical point, the company Ferrous Systems (which was newborn itself) stepped in to fund further development of the prototype.

So, rust-analyzer was not just a hobby project since at least 2018, when it got sponsored by a business.

> By 2020, we realized that what we had built was no longer a prototype, but an already tremendously useful tool for day-to-day Rust programming.

It took 2 years of work while sponsored by a real business to get to the point where rust-analyzer was considered "tremendously useful".

That's a "huge effort" on my book, not Google-level (and I never said that), but huge nevertheless. And to get to the same level as you get with Java in IntelliJ, for example, you can be sure it'll take about as much effort as was already put into it, maybe more.

Ah, I downrank Wikipedia pretty hard :P
It is always harder to accurately forecast actual recession, than it is to forecast the predictions of the Fed model. You don't need an information edge there, just information parity.

When the Fed takes action, it is usually a very rational action, with a clear-defined goal of long-term economic health. This makes their actions easier to predict than other market participants.

So you went the hard route, forecasting the highly complex system directly, but then "variables outside the model" caused the "accurate" model to not perform well? You don't buy anything with that, since you live in a world with outside variables which mess up your predictions. The solution is to make your model actually accurate, by incorporating these "variables outside the model": Predict what others will predict.
Attacking my words as "weak", "FUD", or "uninformed" is arguing in bad faith. I gave a good faith effort to counter your points rather than simply labeling them "weak" or "uninformed".

It's really not supposed to be either. Like it's designed to be the search engine you use when you can't find something elsewhere, so it's largely designed to show you different results than the ones you get on Google and Bing.

In general a lot of the complaints seem to be "I'm not getting what I expect from Google". Well... yeah. That's the point. If someone wants the same results as Google, they should arguably use Google.

The Toyota EV also had tires falling off and recent Hyundai/Kia cars were catching on fire because the engine was overheating from the automatic stop/start when you stop. Jeep has transmission issues where theirs cars would go to neutral on their own, which ended up with Anton Yelchin dying at 27 years old crushed against a fence by his own car. I believe Honda has problems with manual transmissions going out of gear while you were driving and just refused to address the problem for a long ass time.

They're all bad. There's a whole scene in the Fight Club movie where they explain every car company will refuse to fix a deadly problem unless they calculate the lawsuits will cost them more than the fix, and I believe it.
> They are conscripts, so I would imagine there's a range of positions when they are killing thousand of women and children alongside with combatants.

Firstly, the majority of the IDF isn't active-duty conscripts, they're reservists. They're still conscripts, and they still have to serve, but it's not exactly difficult to not serve if you choose not to. Not sure this impacts anything else you say, but I thought it's worth mentioning.

> I don't believe the premise that Israeli soldiers were concerned for the lives of their loved ones and killed that many civilians and ar OK with it.

Almost all IDF soldiers are incredibly regretful that any civilians have to be killed. This is true of most armies most of the time, btw, not specifically Israeli soldiers.

But they are absolutely fighting for the fate of their homeland. They might be wrong - but most Israelis believe that Hamas cannot be allowed to continue, because they have promised, multiple times, that they will repeat the October 7th attack again and again. They are literally an hour's drive from many people's homes. Two hours and they can reach the majority of Israel.

Almost every Israeli knows someone, either directly or via one other person, that was killed or taken hostage. Without trying to hard, I can think of about 5 people I know who lost a loved one.

In that way, this isn't similar to something like Iraq or Afghanistan, where for the most part, American soldiers were fighting a real, but vague, threat, which posed almost no immediate danger to anyone they knew.

> Unarmed women and children are not that dangerous, they must have range of thoughts when killing those. Some regret, some glee, some disgust, some joy I would imagine. I wouldn't put the relief of saving their own in the top 10 though.

Unarmed women and children are not targeted intentionally. There's great regret that anyone is killed, and probably majority happiness that the person targeted is killed, usually someone who is directly responsible for deaths.

There's also a lot of mistakes, because it's war, and because Hamas tries hard to cause these mistakes to happen. It's sad, unfortunate, and I doubt anyone feels "glee" or "joy" that civilians ever are killed. I'm sure there's a few psycopaths like in any large group of people, but the IDF tries to weed these people out.

Yeah, this is not a counterexample to the Clausewitzian view of war, but an example of it, because the converse of what I said is also true: If there is a political will to war, there will be a causus belli, no matter how weak. In the case of the Vietnam war, it does appear that the US military and the CIA basically manufactured that causus belli. A lot of cold war conflicts had the same sort of thing happen.

In modern buildings the heat recovery system in the ventilation transfers the heat from the outgoing warm air to the incoming cold air, which saves a lot of energy. The savings are big especially in colder climates.

(As a bit of trivia, the specific heat capacity of air is pretty close, +- 50%, to common building materials. Explained by the rather low density of air at normal pressure and temperature compared to those.)

You are conflating ideas. I don’t think it will be a productive discussion to go down the road of anticheat systems and DRM. We can all have opinions that are different.

What is productive is calling out hostile behavior and comments that do nothing but hurt the ecosystem. I see these type of strong negative opinions in a lot of areas of the Linux community. “Oh you do X, that’s stupid you should not be using the product like that”
That is, in fact, the purpose of government, to do the things necessary for a functioning society for which a profit motive does not exist.

> A virtual world is still based on fundamental spatial concepts like needing to travel, having benefit of proximity/association, and so on.

Yup. Second Life heavily takes advantage of that, and sells virtual land. Which actually works, because it turns out there's such a thing as a desirable location even when it's completely artificial. For instance SL has "welcome areas" where new people show up, and depending on what you do, that may or not be a good thing.

> That is before you get to business interests being first and foremost around succeeding with their own products, not interoperability with nonexistent or noncooperative competitors. The market has to hit a point where vendors agree that interoperability is important enough to accept the tradeoffs that come with it, before any technical effort there can succeed.

IMO, interoperability in the space to a significant extent is near impossible. Yeah, on the surface we all can use JPG textures and figure out an avatar standard, but beyond that things quickly get complicated.

Second Life has its own scripting language, and its own set of limited primitive object types (eg, cube, sphere) that can be created parametrically, and nothing else is compatible with that. The different internal architectures also get expressed in the way scripting works, so it just doesn't translate.
This is one reason why it's better to have lots of small clients than a few big clients, because over time, the few big ones will increasingly dictate your product strategy in ways you will not want to go. Jason Fried from Basecamp has a good article about this [0].

I don't understand people who say this, I really don't.

If I were to say "the US is capable of nuking Iraq and killing most of their civilians", that would just be a true statement of the capabilities of the US. That they chose not to do so during the Iraq war is proof of something about the US's intentions.

It's proof of the value that the US places on human lives, despite it sometimes costing the US dearly.

Of course I think nuking Iraq would've been unconscionable, for many reasons. For the same reasons that the US chose not to do it, obviously. But pointing that out is just plain old logic.

Acting otherwise doesn't add anything to the conversation.
