The Rust compiler won’t compile code that mutates shared state unless there are appropriate memory fences. It makes you insert these barriers for correctness.
If you're talking about initial productivity they're probably right. If you're talking about long term productivity, they're most definitely wrong.

I say this as someone with extensive experience in .net, ruby, PHP (laravel, et al), and so on.

Even something like ActiveRecord is going to blow .net out of the water in terms of pure speed, but long term the typing and the stability of .net gives it the advantage.
Then you're looking for Next.

Oh wow, everything from the website design to the writing style evokes so much nostalgia. It's delightfully underpolished and vulnerable in a way that's harder to find in today's world of engagement engineering and SEO. What a lovely little travel blog!
I think there is a role for a scripting language in the browser akin to scripting in a spreadsheet. Sadly I don't see an accepted standard. Key would be what it can't do (access the document model, access the internet etc), not so much what it can.
And yet, you gotta take time for yourself, too, lest you burn out.
HR are employer's cops and every cop-related advice applies, starting with "don't volunteer information". At least with managers in a big tech corp you have the same goal to pursue and failures to share. With HR it's either a script or a cop.
We also have the clown situation where you are deemed fit to rent for €1200 a month, but the banks won’t give you a €900 a month mortgage for the same sort of housing.
Japanese communities are creating currencies to educate and empower citizens
Until you enter the US you are in a weird constitutional grey area. This is why it’s legal for them to search phones in immigration in the US, even if you’re a citizen. As for photography, there’s signs all over the airport I clear immigration at (JFK) saying photography is prohibited in the immigration and customs halls.
This is not true. I and many other people have aphantasia[0], our brains are simply unable to imagine visually the way other people are.

What does that solve? Amazon employees an uncountable number of people. Put them all out of a job?

XAML is a nice declarative UI lang. One can use it even in Powershell scripts.
Thanks for posting this view: I had read the "Land Value Tax"-side of the argument before (and somewhat agree with it), but I hadn't seen someone post good reasons _not_ to support LVT. I think your reply - and your other replies - are pretty good reasons
Look, for something to be a good investment for everyone you have to perpetually have the asset go up in value.

Can you see how that is not affordable? Things that go up in value forever are not affordable...
I actually really liked WTL, super lightweight, super fast and modern C++ that removed a lot of the low level C API cruft.
I think the best you could do is a camera with a slit shutter, like a finish-line camera, oriented in the direction of motion.
> but it sounds like you're also forcing people to celebrate their own birthdays without their permission

I've taken to telling people I don't have a birthday when asked, unless it's clearly for necessary record keeping; especially in a work context. I get a funny look, but whatever.

If I learn someone else has appropriated my birthday, I do let them know, and we can share private birthday greetings.
I used to teach a 300-level class that had many ESL students. They asked me how best to learn proper english. I told them to watch BBC comedies. Not antiques roadshow but Blackadder, Blacks Books and The Thick of It. Or anything with Attenborough. Listening to Rowen Atkinson tell a joke would improve their language skills far faster than coming up with mnemonics to better-memorize the Queen's order of adjectives.
And it's not blocking search just for non-logged users, but also for users whose

If we're talking about this sort of solutions, we must nevertheless implement a means to manage demand. After all, it's impossible to house the entire Netherlands in Amsterdam.

In countries where housing was socialized they had a system of residency. You couldn't move to another city, without a permit. If you live in Tholen, you shouldn't be able to move to Amsterdam, unless you mary someone from there or if society determines there's a social need for more workers in the capital.

After all, you can't socialize things while maintaining bourgeois concepts like "freedom of movement". You can't eat the cake and have it too, right?
Dry ice is an interesting idea. I want it to work, because it is just so deliciously different.

However, I assume the harsh reality says that it is nearly impossible to suffocate the entire infestation, and more than a few survivors or eggs would remain after the treatment.
I recently found the Statistical Rethinking course on YouTube. I found it super refreshing in its very applied focus, direct advice and thorough pedagogy. It assumed that one has a little bit of stats and Bayesian thinking from before, but I found it accessible with just basic introduction to stats in engineering and ML.

You know whats better than trying to strategize and hypothesize around a million employees taking pictures with no approval or accountability? An iron rule that everyone is subject to. You might be right in the particular scenario, that is completely irrelevant.

Everyone gets alerts regarding every incident at amazon regardless of whether anyone was hurt. We have a very robust infastructure for identifying issues and correcting them globally. The best the interviewee could have accomplished is adding political complications that produce inferior results.
It may just be my own unique obsession to peek at the internals of .wasm, but if anyone else is curious:

https://modsurfer.dylibso.com/module?hash=ab6f4b2de9db171347...

u/nbittich - curious if you've tried to use your language as as a scripting language inside other apps? I took a peek at your browser wasm environment, and think we could hook up the `compute` entrypoint you have here[0], but I'm not certain what the `ctx` does without going super deep, and if it could be passed into an Extism function[1] (which is how I'd try to run it from within 16+ other languages).

Same for me, but without Brave as a middle ground. I think Firefox even without extensions is less and less supported, sadly.
When your aim is constant growth, you're going to build your strategy towards what resonated with younger age groups.
> for a median U.S. household

Please, not more of this nonsense

Show me a SWE who makes median ($40,480 in 2023) money or less. That quote does not apply. For people making SWE money, Texas is a LOT better tax-wise
One thing in common is that to write a GUI application they're all much simpler, faster and more powerful than modern Javascript frameworks. Yeah distribution sucked but I feel we've got a long way to keep up.
Something odd about that ultra-blue color - when I'm outside at night, I can see any lit up sign in relatively good focus with my glasses on. Green signs, red signs, etc.

But anything blue always looks blurry unless I'm very close to it.
I read The Book of All Skies and quite liked it, but yeah, I basically just skimmed over the especially mathy sections. In that one the math is about (spoiler?) how gravity would work with a very unique planet, with comparisons drawn to electrostatics, I think. It was still enjoyable because it's still unique and interesting sci-fi.
> Except that svelte advertises itself constantly as being faster and with smaller bundle sizes.

Maybe this is a subtle difference, but I understood it as Svelte still caring about and prioritizing speed and bundle size, but not necessarily as the primary focus with the goal of being the smallest or the fastest.
On your home page you say it is trusted by HR professionals globally and list a bunch of big name companies. However, this seems like a new product so I am a bit doubtful that you actually have people at those companies using it. Isn’t it a bit misleading to list those companies?
In the USA, everyone gets leave all the time! You just don't get paid.
Of course you have to actually listen. Audiobooks are fantastic when you're driving or washing dishes or doing any kind of manual work. They're pointless if you're trying to read something else with your eyes at the same time, or if you're otherwise distracted.

With those caveats, I have zero difficulty absorbing an audiobook. The only thing I'd say is that the narrator's performance definitely colors your impression of the book, for better or worse or just...different.
I miss writing sysvinit scripts exactly never.

Even if you were building a system for which init stages would be immutable, forever sealed and unchanging, determining the correct ordering means understanding every daemon and all their associated quirks and their dependencies and the quirks associated with their dependencies and so on...

I will never get the hours spent being a human SAT solver trying to safely order hundreds of lexicographically ordered start and stop scripts that may or may not be present in an unbelievable number of permutations.

The reason sysvinit is extinct is neither fashion or politics, but evolution.
It’s funny that I took the parent comment as referring to programming languages, but it totally works for people learning spoken/written languages as well. It really is a universal thing.
>What makes Vue "insanely" more productive than React ?

React is a fantastic rendering library but there are no great React frameworks. Next is ok, but it's a beast that most people don't need. The beauty of something like Vue is having your batteries included in a standardized way that you don't have to worry about when upgrading, while also still being fairly lightweight. The average React app becomes a hodgepodge of dependencies that get frozen in time due to the fragile nature of NPM. Versus having a known and documented upgrade path for your router, state, styling, etc.
Yeah, premature as in when you're designing the first prototype and haven't yet had real life usage data on what's the bottleneck.

Does it solve the large-file bottleneck? Then I might use it for my deep learning models.

I believe that not only the bed bugs but most or all bugs related to them (Hemiptera) are more resistant to insecticides than most other insects.

Where I live, in Europe, when I was young there were abundant insects of many kinds, butterflies, dragonflies, lacewings, flies, bumblebees, wasps, beetles, crickets and many others.

Now all have disappeared, but various kinds of bugs (Hemiptera) are still abundant, actually more abundant than before, when many other kinds of insects existed.
A its spooky reading someone with basically the exact same workflow as me!

I use helix in the terminal, regularly opening up a split pane in tmux to either breakpoint in, or test out bits of code interactively. I'm not quite as organized as having two regular panes- I'll close and open them pretty quickly. Often just to try some toy example of reorganising a duct or something before writing it out into code.
I don't think this really has any relationship. You can open an account and never use it, and your credit score is just as good as someone who borrowed $10,000 at 30% APR and makes the minimum payment every month. Probably better, because lower "credit utilization".
Seems like the same sort of whinging people do about traction control. “Trust me bro I need total control and traction control makes me unsafe” etc.

Same sort of thing with people that complain about iterm being too laggy.
> When you hire a plumber to fix your pipes, or buy tomatoes from a farmer, you don't become responsible for their condition. You don't have an obligation to pay higher than a market rate, or to continue paying them when you no longer want to. Why would you expect a full-time employer to have these obligations?

You know very well these are non sequitur, absurd arguments.

If the plumber dies fixing your pipes in your home, you bet your civil liability will be scrutinized. As for the rest of your arguments, the agreement is usually only about the plumber "fixing the pipe", not forcing the plumber to work 10 hours a day, or prevent them from taking more than a 15 minutes lunch break or something,

You see the absurdity of your examples? You're acting like there are no differences between an individual contracting a plumber and the relationship between a megacorporation, the employees, and the obvious power imbalance between them.

It's usually because you deem your interlocutor an idiot whom you can just patronize with absurd arguments.
Reading a good book is a closest approximation we have to actually meeting the author in person. There are books that I read years ago that had such a big emotional impact they probably affected my personality in some way. I barely remember a single youtube video I watched last week.
I've been using the Microsoft Launcher for years. I have all my apps on one 6x5 grid (with the top row showing time/date/weather) in addition to the 5 bottom tray apps. The infrequently used apps are in group folders, so every app is at most two taps away. The frequently used apps are on the bottom 60% of the screen.
Basically anything microscopic is increasingly found to be just horrible to inhale, but this blurb from Wikipedia says there are probably significantly worse things to handle for a one-time treatment.

...In a 1978 study of workers, those exposed to natural diatomaceous earth for over five years had no significant lung changes while 40% of those exposed to the calcined form had developed pneumoconiosis.[46] Today's common diatomaceous earth formulations are safer to use, as they are predominantly made up of amorphous silica and contain little or no crystalline silica.[47]

The crystalline silica content of diatomaceous earth is regulated in the United States by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and there are guidelines from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health that set maximum amounts allowable in the product (1%) and in the air near the breathing zone of workers, with a recommended exposure limit at 6 mg/m3 over an 8-hour workday.[47] OSHA has set a permissible exposure limit for diatomaceous earth as 20 mppcf (80 mg/m3/%SiO2). At levels of 3,000 mg/m3, diatomaceous earth is immediately dangerous to life and health.

In the 1930s, long-term occupational exposure among workers in the cristobalite diatomaceous earth industry who were exposed to high levels of airborne crystalline silica over decades were found to have an increased risk of silicosis.[49]

Microsoft's strategy was a mess. They were pushing a lot of vaporware so they could imagine a world where Azure rendered XR frames and streamed it to headsets. Definitely a lot of thinking about how to charge for something and working backwards not meeting the actually cool but fledgling tech being built.

Teams integration was pushed and is a mess with or without XR. They finally launched something that should be able to connect web cam and XR users in a teams session but why... AFAICT it's in a special teams app. Apple's face time windows that are not a full overlay are a better fit for a productive experience. I haven't checked out the new Teams yet, though. Maybe its just not in the marketing material.

They had the first inkling of the exciting spatially anchored app stuff that the Vision Pro is pushing but it just was not fleshed out or really pursued beyond proof of concept.

MR for Windows was just not a good value add in general. It didn't supplant SteamVR or Oculus and Microsoft didn't (and doesn't) have a way to capitalize on their commoditization so what even is the point?

Right now, making XR apps is their only coherent strategy.
I appreciate the trend of giant companies open sourcing their tools. Thanks Bloomberg!
But that is the actual problem. It's like telling people how to lose weight. Eat less. It's true, and it doesn't help.

How do you actually get yourself to do it? What are the blockers, and how does one deal with them?
"Clowns are unhappy" is just something people with no sense of humor say to feel better about themselves.

Everyone is unhappy about something. I'd rather see it channeled into humor than into passive-aggressiveness.

People mention Robin Williams and John Belushi. If you want a (fictional) example, take Jerry (or Larry?) from Parks and Rec. He was as boringly positive as anyone alive, but he had a fantastic family life, and more importantly, I'd bet his kids would say, "Dad is really funny!" And most of his "jokes" would be silly Dad jokes.
In the US too you get paternity leave, it's very fishy to see someone claim they got fired for announcing that their partner is expecting. This is a massive liability.
Some of it is compulsion, some of it is risk aversion. I have a lot of music that means quite a lot to me; I would be crushed if I could never hear it again. Keeping mp3's on my hard drive (and backed up!) means I'm almost always able to listen to the things that bring me joy.

(And I've definitely lost some of those songs, and have not been able to find them ever again. At least, in that situation much like you, I have no-one to blame but myself.)
The direction React/NextJS has taken modern web development is a modern day abomination. I say this as a passionate fullstack developer whos worked for YC startups and a fortune 10 company within the past decade. I appreciate Vercel as a company too; I have no hate towards them but the NextJS 13 release almost made me quit web development.

Svelte is an absolute love language to the web and a direction for healing the damage caused by modern "web frameworks". It's the absolute direction we need to head in.

Here's something beautiful. I'm teaching my brother-in-law programming to get a job when he's out of the military. He's learning JS/CSS/HTML and doing quite well. With about a 2 minute tutorial of how Svelte works; he was able to start creating some pretty impressive projects. A day later because he already knew the basics of how the web works, he was in Sveltekit building fullstack apps -_-.

You will be happy to know that the big property management companies are willing to charge you an extra per-month fee to report your rent payment history to credit reporting agencies.

To some extent, renting an apartment does take on some debt. You're basically being loaned the property in exchange for making interest payments.
My view is to simply allow property taxes to be deferred until sale or death.

Alternatives exist (eg taxable value set by what you paid not marked to market)
It's like the Stanford Marshmallow experiment[1]. The experiment measured the wrong thing, the credibility of the experimenters in the eyes of the subjects. If you didn't believe they would deliver on their promise, you took the first reward.

I don't agree with the conditions of the game, because far too much damage is done by people who "both sides" or "I'm just asking questions" or otherwise hedge on normal socially accepted behavior. The post fairness doctrine[2] world is a harsh place, and it's made me grumpy.

It doesn't feel any less moral than someone dictating what art I should or shouldn't enjoy. Yes, there's a greater weight placed on someone's opinion if they're the ones that made the art, but in the end, if I buy a CD of music or a print of an artwork, it would be a ludicrous proposition that the artist should demand that I stop listening to it or looking at it.
I especially feel like reading a book after all day at the computer! That being said, there’s not always time for it.
Condos are just a kind of appartement, right?

There is normally a kind of owners assembly in which the various owners can take (binding) decisions or action regarding such problems or anything that concerns the building as a whole. It might not be mandatory in all countries I suppose, but it should be.
So called "right to work" laws that actually give employers the right to fire for no cause. As long as an employer doesn't say what the cause was, employers in those states can fire you for "no cause" even if the hidden reason would be an illegal cause if they stated it. It's only illegal if someone gets caught specifically saying the firing was because the employee is having a kid. Coincidences are not considered admissable evidence in those courts.
How is it possible to have a house with no insects? I just don't even see that as feasible, except maybe for a small new house with no shrubbery (and probably in a desert environment?). There ain't no way you're living in a house with zero bugs.

> just because he chooses to purchase the person's labour

This sounds like the corporation’s point of view. Most people view employment as a relationship between employer and employee which extends beyond the salary and includes a proper work environment, etc.

Libertarians believe that it’s OK to treat people as badly as they allow themselves to be treated.

Microsoft doesn't even seem to care to dogfood outside of using those things for the most basic apps bundled with Windows and those basic apps really show why nobody should use those toolkits.

I have a laptop with a Ryzen 7 4800HS. It's a few years old but it has no business feeling slow. Yet opening the new winUI explorer or notepad shows visible lag in rendering the title/tab bar.

Native gui toolkits with no benefit over using electron, if anything I've seen plenty of electron apps that were more snappy than these. WinUI 3 is a dumpster fire.

The goal isn't to suffocate them, but to draw them into a trap--they're attracted to CO2 because we exhale it. Over time, the hope is you trap and kill the entire population.
