Yeah, man. Totally. It sucks. They were just reacting doing their best. It's scary and shows you how fine and arbitrary (in the sense that, if you had, just at 1 point in your life, had some sort of emergency danger situational awareness training) the line between life and death can be. Hopefully their heroism can live on in the tragic legacy that other's can internalize that lesson and adopt due caution in such circumstances in future!!! :)

quick qn ? for the tinkerers -- is there a language these days that nicely interfaces with c i.e able to use all c libraries through ffi. without loss of performance or extra fu.

the language being small enough that all basics can be grasped in a day.

the language being complete that it will remain the same in 10 years.

while at the same time being memory safe.

btw I don't think golang applies given the bad ffi story in go.

Yeah, I get it... I'm just continuously surprised by what constitutes insight. The idea of shifting away from our car-centered urban designs is pretty old; AFAIK the electric car was always seen as a way to get away from the disadvantages of gasoline while still remaining compatible with car-centered urban designs. Otherwise the EVs we'd be talking about would be the far easier to achieve electric scooters or bicycles.
I saw the picture, I agree it is not nice, but other airlines facing the same issue simply sent their a350 to Toulouse to be repainted by Airbus under warranty. It seems Qatar Airways didn't accept this proposition.

Not everyone loves children, is the unspoken unpopular thing to say. Even more unpopular: dogs. These are things I wish not to see in an office, nor a bar environment. Actually see isn't the issue, it's the uncontrollable, but considered normal, noise that I find stressful.
Hmmm, it seems perfectly fine to me. I touched a live wire that had contacted water in a carpet at a hotel room threshold, and I got "electroucted" but it was just a small "electric shock". I was fine (but, erm, nonplussed and well-learned).

To what etymological root are your referring when you impose your "electrocuted must be fatal" dictum? :) haha :)
C++ is a better C in the same way that a Cybertruck is a better bicycle.

My 10 year old loves programming and has a fair number of hours in Scratch and Roblox.

I've noticed when messing around with Scratch, he quickly progressed from leaning the language to using the language to solve his own problems. He moved from following tutorials to creating his own games and ideas quickly.

When playing with the the Roblox editor he would follow the Youtube tutorials, but never made the leap to making his own games. Roblox scripting is fairly wordy, you spend a far amount of time binding methods to long event handlers. There is a lot of text you have to type, and spell correctly, and remember. 10 year olds are very slow typists. I also spend a fair amount of time helping him fix small syntax errors which slowly sapped his enthusiasm.

The drag and drop, and drop downs in Scratch really helped him move quickly from learning the language, to using the language to make games.

You're being a little obfuscatory here. In 2022 SLS flew a capsule around the moon that was human-rated, except that it had mannequins in the seats instead of people. Adding oxygen and some granola bars to this setup is not a big technical leap; the hard part is done. I'm not a fan of either SLS or Orion, but it's pretty clear that they will have no difficulty putting a human crew into space whenever their schedule and budgetary drama allows it.

Do you have any actual children? This is lousy advice. A parent's job is to love their children and provide opportunities for growth, not to teach them to "succeed at work". I can't think of anything more dreary than that, in fact.

(Source: Raised two children to adulthood.)
I'm not sure after reading this what 'good' and 'bad' even refer to. Is there some independent ethical principle to uphold, or is it merely a matter of obeying the rules one is given?

A truly difficult child will pester the parents about the quality of the societal ruleset they're supposed to obey, taking advantage of any obvious hypocrisy in the application of the ruleset, or internal contradictions, e.g. "so how come poor people go to jail for commiting a crime, when rich people just get a fine and don't have to go to jail?"

Eventually the frustrated parent will give in and admit that human society is ridden with hypocrisy and contradictions, which is probably all the difficult child was looking for - some honesty.

P.S. I think Bertrand Russell fits the definition of 'difficult' in this sense:

https://harpers.org/archive/1932/10/in-praise-of-idleness/

> "All this is only preliminary. I want to say, in all seriousness, that a great deal of harm is being done in the modern world by the belief in the virtuousness of work, and that the road to happiness and prosperity lies in an organized diminution of work."
Regardless of the price, it limits access to many necessities only to people able to drive. All children are unable to drive, and anyone who doesn't die young will end their life disabled and unable to drive for the last several-to-many years of it. There's no reason to limit and isolate people this way. It's certainly not "freedom."
Curious how different our experiences of "culture" can be.

I'm an American in my 40s. I've never seen "glorification of scams" in any mainstream culture and can't really think of any subculture where that would be the case... maybe used car sales, crypto or drug dealers or something?

I've also never seen any sort of "hyper-masculization" shown in a positive light in mainstream culture. I've always been pressured by society to present as less masculine and it's common to see masculinity referred to as as "toxic" and equated with negative traits or externalities. In fact, it's an entirely one-sided debate at this point. Suggesting any positive aspect of masculinity is considered sexist, misogynistic and unacceptable among the people who's opinions carry power in society. Negative aspects of masculinity are of course strongly encouraged, reinforced and amplified.
You probably can adjust your prompt(s)(?) Even then there is no guarantee. For example for it's own API it generates code for the old version which doesn't work anymore. The latest GPT4 available through API model does the same.
> I feel you are making my point for me and retreating to a more pragmatic position about defaults

I'm unclear on what stance I've supposedly retreated from. My position is that an opt-out is not necessary under current US law, but that it wouldn't be the worst-case outcome if new regulation were introduced to mandate it.

> The (quite entertaining) saga of Nightshade tells a story about what is going to be content creators “default position” going forward and everyone else will follow

By "default" I refer not to the most common choice, but to the outcome that results from inaction. There's a bias towards this default even if the majority of rightsholders do opt to use Nightshade (which I think is unlikely).
It's probably their overzealous image optimization CDN. You can try lying to it about your viewport size and resolution and all that.

In your example, why would someone attend 16 years if only 12 are required? Also, school year is only 35-40 weeks of the calendar year, so not really like a prison at all.

OP here.

Yeah, it's definitely about "culture". What I've been trying to express with usage of "God" is how primitive societies, lacking law enforcing institutions etc, tried to instil order through fear of punishment from a power no-one can top, not even the most respected leader.

I don't really have the time to take anthropology classes, but yes, that's what I'm interested in. There's something called "theoretical anthropology" which is spot-on what I'm interested in. Have you heard about it?

The big interest comes from me being frozen out by all peers during most of my life (grew up in a very dysfunctional family, ADHD etc), and I have been interested in social dynamics ever since.

I do standup comedy, which to me feels related in a way I cannot explain.

This guy is just a bad person. It's a classic case of someone going so deep into understanding something that it detaches them from reality and their humanity. You understand the general structure of the Web (hotlinking) and how to "mv" which took you months or years of concentrated study to learn and set up, and you forget that under normal circumstances you wouldn't give in to your sadistic urge to show children a picture of a man's asshole.

And then all the other psychos, like you, come to the retelling of the story to fantasize about doing it too.

Maybe “Fire in the Valley“? I learned to program in the mid-1980s and learned about the culture from dozens of magazines that were published contemporaneously. I didn’t live in Silicon Valley and thought I had pretty much missed the boat so I spent thousands a year in early 1990s dollars to keep up. Then I got to move to Redmond, Washington and actually live it. Working with people I had literally read about was every bit as good as I hoped.

Airbus: First ZEROe engine fuel cell successfully powers on
I feel like that might leave embedded devices without an upgrade path, and those are the devices that needs to longest "warning". So yes, borrowed time, but that might be a decade.

That no to say that Rust shouldn't be considered, but maybe initially for new development or selective rewrites. Some of the mentioned, like nscd or devd in particular, shouldn't be that high on the list. The ZFSd should be fairly safe, as that's mainly needed on the larger platforms.
I've heard good things about Zig. Interop with C libraries seems to be good, and there is some degree of memory safety (though not, as i understand it, anything like .net/Java).
What techies really don't seem to get is that this has nothing to do with whether Google can track you in incognito mode due to the technical details, along with every other website. Rather the problem is that Google (the company) is offering a product that is marketed based on protecting your privacy, but then Google (the same company) is continuing to track you despite use of that product! Firefox "private window" suffers from similar technical vulnerabilities (cf the additional lengths Tor Browser goes). But failing to be perfect and/or perfectly inform their users of the vulnerabilities doesn't create the same type of liability for Firefox, because there isn't another division of Firefox actively working to track users despite their use of private window!

> No idea what incel vibes means...

"incel" is short for "involuntary celibate"; people who the other sex doesn't find attractive / can't get laid. Originally it was self-applied by people who wanted to figure out what was wrong with themselves, but turned into an insult years ago.
Memory safe and easy implies a garbage collector to me. Unfortunately, garbage collection and C libraries easy to use is at odds.

In other words: Memory safe, easy to learn, easy C-FFI? Pick two.
Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, RTX (Raytheon), etc are essentially subsidiaries of the DoD, with privatized returns. They are too vital to the US military to be allowed to fail. Many countries like Russia and China have more overtly state-owned weapons manufacturers, whereas the U.S. pretends that theirs are legitimate free-market suppliers. When your business is deemed essentially to national security, and when the government signs trillion-dollar multi-decade contracts for equipment and maintenance, market forces no longer apply.

I wonder a little at the trend in the commentariat seemingly on display here to downplay the heroism of the lady in question, while simultaneously exaggerating the banality of what happened -- hmm, what good can come from framing a tragedy and charged (pun both in- and not intended) moment thus?

Is it in the confrontation of danger to believe, not that you have something to learn, but to be reassured by the fact that there's nothing new here to you, that you already know how to handle it and nothing extraordinary is required? Hmm, probably something like that.

For me, tho, I'd like to see the lady as a hero and the situation as something I Can learn from.

You're right of course, but our capitalist societies are organized around making profit, and pulling the ladder from under them is profitable for those who managed to climb the ladder first.

This won't change until properties stop being good investment vehicles, and that won't change since land is finite and demand for housing in desirable areas is always growing, therefore increasing the opportunity for profit and wealth accumulation.
Teaching is best done with Python, which is incidentally the world's most popular programming language.
My mother was in the 2nd (? early...) class of AT&T programmers hired. Nobody knew any programming, so the identified pre-requisites to getting hired were:

1) College degree
2) Typing 60 WPM

She and basically everyone else had been pushed to learn to type in high-school, so they'd have something better than waitressing to fall back on.

One of the biggest things about Rust for me is that it's essentially Prometheus, bringing the fire of modern languages and more advances PL theory to systems programming, which imo is sorely needed. We don't need a 10% better C or C++, we need a huge jump for the field. Rust I think does this. They have:

1. A type system that's deeply inspired by OCaml, a language that's designed and used by a lot of programming language research people and is widely praised (just look at how every other language — C#, Java, Kotlin — is suddenly trying to pile half baked imitations of ML features like ADTs and deep pattern matching onto their existing OOP type systems), except they've both imemented the type system correctly and fully, and also filed off all the warts and awkward features, and replaced OCaml's verbose and underpowered first class module system with Haskell style type classes

2. got amazing, highly flexible and generalized iterator and monad support (you can use iterator methods on monads), basically second only to Haskell itself, that compiles down to the equivalent of hand written assembly code loops

3. an error handling system using monads that neatly sidesteps the issues with both traditional C style error handling and exceptions that combines with point two in an exponential curve of awesomeness for error handling

4. hygienic (from Racket) and procedural (eg Common Lisp) macros

5. And finally ofc their statuc memory safety and race condition safety, which is based on linear types ala Idris.

But most importantly, Rust's designers seem to IMO have carefully picked only the advanced programming language features that tend to make your code clearer as well as more correct, and help you model problems at the right level of abstraction to be intuitive, and also only features that can be implemented in a way that is as performant as the equivalent C++ code, roughly speaking at least. They also seem to have been very careful with how they integrate and implement everything in order to uphold those goals.

So you get to have 90% of the power of a language like Haskell, in a language that performs like, and has the low level capabilities of, C++, with the extra benefit of — for instance — less dogmatic puritanism and more deterministic and comprehensible performance and execution properties then Haskell, and less Lovecraftian horror full of surprise gotchas than C++.

It's kind of like the ultimate pragmatic language for someone like me who has gone deep into pure functional languages and other esoteric languages and wants to have as much as of that goodness as is practical.
That's the idea anyway (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality) but honestly I haven't observed nearly enough crabs in buckets to say with confidence that it's typical for the species. It's entirely possible that a few asshole crabs have given them all a bad reputation and that I'm just perpetuating an unfair stereotype.

If I get the chance to get to know more bucket crabs I'm perfectly willing to change my view of them if turns out that they're largely cooperative and helpful.
On the topic of strawman, surely the better comparison would be Tesco home-delivery of the bulk of your biweekly shopping. While that costs more than buying it yourself, how much is your time worth?

Also, Waitrose is upmarket, so that's more like a Whole Foods apple than a Costco one.
Not only in a vacuum. In some contexts, like people who don’t drink already and still have a healthy social life (like myself), it is very much real world and zero is best.

Considering only the contexts where you have trade offs and use it as public advice is plain wrong.

It has been, but asking people to completely refrain from alcohol is basically a non-starter for a huge part of the population.
It's not racist to be wary of relying on Chinese technology.

The country is a pretty vicious dictatorship without any of the norms e.g. independent judiciary, free media etc we would want. Which combined with the fact that the government routinely injects itself into how private businesses run means you can't depend on any consistent set of rules.
