it's still a lot to memorize to get started, and as pointed out elsewhere in the thread, if your background is an isolating language like chinese, the entire concept of inflection is going to be an unnecessary obstacle

also, you're only talking about the most surface aspects of learning a language

in general pretty much every natural spoken language is equally difficult to learn, because if it's easier than what an average person can learn in their first five years of life, its speakers will invent new complexities that allow them to communicate more eloquently and efficiently. sometimes those complexities are very obvious like a larger inventory of phonemes (french has a lot of vowels, spanish doesn't), sometimes they're slightly more subtle (larger vocabularies, less regular inflection, phrasal verbs, higher segmental rate), and sometimes they're very subtle indeed (a larger inventory of idiomatic expressions, a greater cultural expectation that you will recognize literary allusions)

but about the same amount of complexity is are always there. conlangs and pidgins can avoid them (until they become native languages, as swahili and indonesian are, and i know someone who was raised speaking esperanto) and written languages aren't constrained by them because they don't rely on native language acquisition mechanisms

Yup. College towns are especially great for this, because college kids walk all over the place, so there's a critical mass of pedestrians and drivers expect them. We live in Hanover NH, and packs of six-year-olds run all over our neighborhood.
You might be on to something, but in my experience it's the opposite: parents are overly concerned with their first child then relax a lot by 3 or 4 at which point they barely give a shit, relatively.
We can agree on this! Would you be in favor of changing the system such that homeownership is no longer such a profitable endeavor, where it leads to unaffordability for future generations? This is the core of the problem in my view, and corporate ownership is a way of distracting people from taking political action on the core problem confronting our housing situation.

Historically multi-generation homes are the norm, so that would put assertions like “poor people have always had to leave their family behind to make a go of life” into grave doubt.

> you're probably using things like a food processor and dishwasher to do the work the children would have historically done

That recontextualizes your earlier statements, which are made even more dubious. Chopping vegetables and handwashing dishes are chores, not “slaving away in the kitchen.”
I've mostly switched to pressure cooker, bulk foods (25 lb bags of rice, beans, porridge), and the local produce stand (BYOB). Both my food and packaging waste is now minimal.

Most of my plastic waste is from prescriptions. OMG so wasteful. Wax paper bags would be just fine.

YMMV.

I've always found discussing why former employees left a project incredibly enlightening. They will usually explain the reality behind the PR given they are no longer involved in the politics. Most importantly they will often tell you your best case future with a firm.

Normally, employment agreements specifically restrict contact with former staff, or discussions of sensitive matters like compensation packages.

C++ is like any other language, in that it will often take 3 times longer to understand something than re-implement the same. If you are lucky, than everything is a minimal API lib, and you get repetitive examples of the use cases... but the cooperative OSS breadcrumb model almost never happens in commercial shops...

Legacy code bases can be hell to work with, as you end up with the responsibility for 14 years of IT kludges. Also, the opinions from entrenched lamers on what productivity means will be painful at first.

Usually, with C++ it can become its own project specific language variant (STL or Boost may help wrangle the chaos).

You have my sympathy, but no checklist can help with naive design inertia. Have a wonderful day. =)
First you interact with the staff a bit and overtime the other regulars will get used to you and chat with you, its not complicated.

In C11, you can write compiler-only fences with atomic_signal_fence:

(In practice, though, I think it is rare that you actually want a compiler-only fence. Instead, correct use of acquire/release operations prevents reorderings.)

Racket, the language Arc is built on top of, can handle concurrency and parallelism, so it is possible. If someone has time/energy, that I don't know.

Wegman's definitely has bulk food sections. The memorable part is the candy but there are other foods. I'm not sure if they have bulk coffee? Their name brand coffee bags have the roast date on them (vs. "best by" BS dates) so I zeroed in on that and didn't look back.

Also Stop'n'Shop, a very much NOT a bougie food store, has bulk coffee with a grinder. At least in some locations.

> The only somewhat valid criticism I've read is that it's not exactly like the book

The Foundation TV show did not even have the same ethos, the same world-view, the same philosophical view of history as the books.

Apple wanted a big dumb heroic VFX-driven sci-fi saga TV show; and we can understand why. However, the source material that they chose is about history, and is actively hostile to the "heroic" view of history. It actually seems to be a critique of the heroic derring-do sci-fi of the day and the "great man" theory of history. (1)

It's like the showrunners did actually understand what the books were _about_, but decided to deliberately do the opposite. Maybe they actively hated the books.

I could not care less if they change skin colour or gender; or spice up the action scenes, updates like that are good, but IMHO this is by far the least of the problems with the _Foundation_ TV series.

This is a great observation.

A clarification comment here to help explain what is going on here- re: the 'non-native' part of the comment above.

Swahili specifically is a second language to a population speaking a very very diverse set of first / primary languages.

Swahili is spoken in East Africa - Burundi, Congo, Kenya, Uganda, Somalia ( southern tip) Rwanda, Tanzania.

Kenya and Tanzania have the largest part of speakers and in Tanzania, there are over 20 'first' languages and in Kenya , there are at least 20 'first' languages as well.

Also important to note that Swahili is formally taught in primary / grade school, alongside either English or sometimes French, to a population that already speaks a different first language used by a much smaller population.

The point here is that there are many many first languages that are sources for "borrowing" into Swahili but that borrowing has to be adopted across all Swahili users who will not share that first language.

This means that only the 'easiest' / 'lowest friction changes' make it through over time into Swahili as all words also have to be accepted by speakers having other "first' aside from the ones that each word or language component was 'borrowed' from.
I remember reading the book "The Man Who Saved Britain" [0] (a history of Bond novels & movies) and the author was describing some of the exotic foods, such as an avocado, being something the readers were unlikely to experience in a world of currency controls and import restrictions. One thing that pops up in that book is why the package tour industry was invented and how it applied to Goldfinger.

My suspicion is that some of those "exotics" appeared only in novels and the cookbook authors never expected their readers to ever be able to make the items.

Been there, done that. Don't be a code beauty queen. Make it compile and make it run on your machine. Study the basic control-flow graph starting from the entry point and see the relations between source files. Debug it with step-into and see how deep you go. Only then can you gradually start seeing the big picture and any potential improvements.
> A one-off won't help much at all.

Monumentally disagree.
One-off session with a guy who knows the codebase inside out can save you days of research work. Plus telling you all about the problematic/historical areas.
> When people say they are worried AI will replace them as programmers, they mean that they think AI will fully produce error-free programs without the intervention of humans

Not really. It is sufficient that it makes most programmers orders of magnitude more productive. That will quickly restructure most teams across the industry, with most engineers dealing with AI pipelines end-to-end, which are as productive as an entire team. My current thinking is that the broad effect will amount to polarizing engineers into AI specialists and product specialists. It's still possible that the same amount of people are needed for this shift, but no doubt it will shake up the entire industry and force people to adapt. That said, I don't know how soon it will happen, but when it does it will probably happen relatively quickly.
then why not just say moulded gelatin foods have fallen out of style? with all of the modern baking shows and baking adjacent game shows, moulding food is still all the rage.

there's a lot of "food" that as fallen out of style as we've come to accept that it wasn't really food to begin with. the crap my parent and my grandparents were told was food was the the beginnings of the corp take over of food so that they were actually just food products. things like jello, margarine, cool whip, and similar are the top things that for me personally have been completely removed from my diet but were staples previously

Dolphin can do that! You'll need to install kio-admin and you'll get an option to "open folder as root". After you authenticate, you'll be able to e.g. move files in /etc/

This will be included in dolphin natively in the near future.

An optional step locally like pre-commit hooks should be backed up by a required step in the CI. In other words: the ability to run tests locally, lint, fuzz, format, verify Yaml format, check for missing EOF new lines, etc, should exist to help a developer prevent a CI failure before they push.

As far as linters causing thousands of warnings to appear on opening the project, the developer adding the linter should make sure that the linter returns no warnings before they merge that change. This can be accomplished by disabling the linter for some warnings, some files, making some fixes, or some combination of the above.

Another question you might ask is, who decides to prioritize this program in the first place? How does the WH administration decide to add a program to its agenda?

I don't think I generally agree with a plastic tax but lets imagine there was one. I am honestly not even sure how you would set the price, my whole point is the externalities are hard to measure. I also suspect the cost of the implementation will be on the shoulders of the consumer. We can hand wave it away and say we can create more rules to prevent it but at the end of the day that is most likely what will happen.
There's a cost associated with bottle return as well. Consumers also may feel weird about buying used packaging.

What I have seen work quite well is bulk filling stations in hippie groceries. So far liquid dispensing is limited to non-food e.g. laundry detergent but if people can grasp that model I think it can expand to a lot more items.
You can also just write no code at all if you so desire. It certainly won't cause any memory issues that way. (Hint: What you yourself decide to write or refrain from writing is not the problem. You're not they only person who ever worked on this legacy codebase, and you want guarantees but default, not having to check every line of code in the entire project.)
