I assume that's exactly the unnatural way that's being referred to. The natural way to define a member variable is

Complextype m;

which has the fewest tokens, is the easiest to read, and doesn't require extra memory/lifetime management or library types that didn't even exist in the standard library for the first decades of the language (i.e. std::unique_ptr) so certainly weren't the originally intended way to declare members but are workarounds for a problem in the original language.

Of course, the solution to this (and some of the other problems discussed here) in other languages is often make everything a heap pointer under the hood, and there are good reasons not to do that!

Yes. CSS is, simply, objectively, not a programming language. It is not for writing programs.

That doesn't mean it isn't worth developing expertise in. Lots of technical subject matters are not programming languages.

I'm starting to suspect that what the author perceives is more about how seriously people take the author, rather than how seriously people take front-end development.
There are other threats to the deep ocean other than fishing - From what I understand, whale falls are a big driver of biodiversity in the deep ocean, so while it wouldn’t appear intuitive that reducing the number of whales in our oceans would have that kind of effect, ecosystems are closely intertwined and one change can have far reaching effects.

Oddly enough (as someone who feels lukewarm about crypto) isn’t this a really strong case for it sticking around long-term?

Like, “crypto will go away as soon as humanity stops feeling fear or being greedy”?

TBH, if anyone really wants to take the air out of crypto, they need to make an easily accessible, divisible, provable deflationary asset, that doesn’t require a lot of work to find or store (so not real estate, gold, guns, rare LEGO sets, etc.)

South Korea is really committed to bringing this product to market, they have huge buy-in from the Government and Industry.

They've made quite a lot of progress, I'm still very skeptical people want to use massive drones to move around, but I think this might end up being one I'm wrong on.

All this depends on whether the advice was actually objectively good advice or not. Is it hubris to give someone information you think may help them? This all hinges on whether or not they decided not to take the advice because it was crap advice or because they were set in their ways too much to make use of it.
How’s heat/noise and battery life? Those have been consistent issues in non-Apple laptop shopping.
My biased guess: both have inherently little actual value. Some crypto has transactional values, and gold has minor value in production, but those aren't valued in gold speculation prices. They mostly ride on speculation and the fear of a serious economic issue (despite not being a panacea to those situations).

You can say that stocks and bonds don't have value, but the value of publicly traded companies is much more tangible. I can look and see that Apple is generating a profit and at least paying a dividend, and US and municipal bonds are backed by notable entities in our every day lives.

If you think those have no value and we're doomed as a society in the near future, you should be putting your money into food, water, and ammunition instead of gold and crypto.
Yes, but with the problem that the pentester had been hired by our client and our client was a multibillion budget quasi-governmental organisation (transit authority) that was not inclined to listen because that'd involve mid-level managers sticking their necks out when they didn't need to and didn't know who was right.

So we did the British thing and went for a lot of passive-aggressive "oh, but how come it's ok for the CIA and your own website?" etc. to force them on the defensive and demonstrate that a lot of what they did was basically ticking pointless boxes.

We did manage to carve out some willingness in the client organisation to ignore bits and pieces as we clearly increased our credibility relative to the pen testers, but it was a massive pain.

I mean, this is a fair point but right now you're not talking to a libertarian who believes the technology inevitably governs itself, to the destruction of all around it.

You're talking to more of a civilization-type who believes you have to use regulation and, if necessary, state violence to stop types of mining that kill habitats, because the technology certainly isn't going to up and decide to do that. It's the job of society to figure this stuff out, arrive at such positions and defend them. There are plenty of good reasons to defend the protection of habitats, even for purely self-interested pragmatic reasons.

> That was about around 1990, when Dragon Ball was aired for the first times.

In France, Dragon ball first aired in 1988.

Kids in the 80's didn't say they were watching anime, they said they were watching japanese cartoons. They knew it was different from Disney and Tom&Jerry and other productions but it didn't mean yet what anime meant in the mid 90's with Ghost in the shell, Lodoss and other anime that weren't aired on TVs (and that weren't long running serie).

And then there was someone at FR3 who somehow slipped 3 or 4 hours a harlock captain movies on christma and new year's eve in the beginning of the 90's. That was dope.
As someone who has dealt with both recently, if you’re considering Firebase for anything, seriously consider Supabase instead.

Now this is getting interesting. I did not think there existed a data set with these properties!

I don't have a computer at hand, but if you bootstrap from that population, in how many cases are the XmR limits violated? If it's more than, say, 15 %, I would not consider that distribution stable in the SPC sense, and thus not really a counter-example.

Edit: I found a computer with R:

> mean(replicate(5000, signal(sample(xx, length(xx), replace=T))))

[1] 0.514

This implies a false positive rate of 98 %, so I'd reconsider using XmR charts with this distribution.
Most likely it is a Claude Sonnet model being used for that conversation in a split test.
C# is getting there.

EDIT: And Dart (which is not that mainstream).
Is it clear if it uses the rotors in flight for lift or for forward movement? I think it would be wrong to call it a helicopter if the only time the rotors provided active lift was during take off / landing. There are fighter aircraft which fire thrusters downwards to achieve VTOL, but calling them rockets would be funny.
The example of performance is interesting because as you say, there are often multiple jostling distributions under the surface (GC is one, but another doozy is CPU frequency scaling).

One possible way out is to look for measurements that contribute to running time but which are not affected by other factors. I remember the YJIT folks talking about using CPU instruction counters, but I can't find it on the benchmark website.
Why aren’t we pursuing gyrocopters!

They’re STOVL, extremely simple to build, and basically fail safe.

Forming an opinion based on what "energy" it has is a stupid thing to do.
I understand how competition can be seen as variable reward dressed up. On the other hand, in an attempt to classify games, separating the two components competition and chance is still useful. I think that chance is to be understood as a component completely independent of the player's skills. This allows to distinguish competitive games such as chess (competion with skills) and yahtzee (competition with chance) for example.

Forgiveness doesn't have to imply returning to the same level of trust. You can forgive your child for having lost your phone, and yet choose to wait until they're older before lending them the phone again.

Forgiveness is more about your own internal state. Are you still holding onto the pain of the betrayal? Most of the time, you're just continuing to let that thing harm you, if so.

Forgiveness can also be about finally acknowledging that you can't change the past.
The python `zipfile` module (`tarfile` likewise) is fairly straight-forward to use for this use case (just with a literal script instead of a script-like).

> ...I feel as if online people feel like marriage is a bunch of negative compromises that are always one sided or something.

Bitching about the negative things in life with one's buddies is an activity that stretches back for hundreds of years, if not for as long as we've had language. It's a bonding activity, and an essential one.

The big difference between -say- the 1980s and now is that one's buddies often congregate in clubhouses that post their conversations publicly, rather than just shooting the shit verbally. So, folks "these days" get to see how much convivial bitching between buddies there actually is out there, rather than being blissfully unaware of it.

Yes, there are certainly folks who are dreadfully serious about their complaints and hate their SO with a burning passion or whatever... but those folks are certainly in the minority of complainers.
It appears to me that they did something clever and the wings and tail section look like they are shaped to generate lift if the vehicle is moving forward fast enough. There are two rotors at the back that blow backward rather than downward.

So possible a vertical take off multi-rotor that can then transition to more efficient (and quieter) plane like operation once up to speed.

No.

Fear and greed have motivated human investors since the dawn of investing, but saying that because this motivation is and likely ever will be omnipresent means that every individual thing this fear and greed have acted on will also be omnipresent is, off (Can I interest you in some Dutch Tunips, only 10k each?)
If there is a market, I am not convinced yet, I think they can. Because one OEM is not enough, there is place for at least a second one. Boeing has nothing, nor does any other major aerospace OEM. Which leaves a slot for Joby, potentially. Maybe someone else, Autoflight maybe. They are Chinese, meaning endless money for the time being, have a decent team and progress steadily and very quietly.

Personally, I'll count out all the other contenders.

These NASbooks are sooooo close to what I want!

My problem is that none of them have an internal power supply. They all require a power adapter that's decidedly less easy to source than an IEC cord. I have had 3 separate experiences where I give someone instructions to grab a box and the power adapter... and they show up with the box and without the power adapter (or with a power adapter in a box of similar power adapters and no volt/amp/size rating on the box to disambiguate). In short, the internal power supply is something I actually care about.
True, but its much more intuitive name lives on.

Another major cause, maybe the single largest cause: freight train interference.

However, the Department of Justice has enforced that law just once and that was 40 years ago, according to Amtrak.

Correct, it definitely can be if it’s unsolicited advice and/or if the “knowledge” is low quality, incomplete, difficult to apply, or just ignorant of Chesterton’s Fence.
A very common failure mode I see even among experienced senior engineers is to talk about the availability only of their endpoint, not the user experience of the system to meaningfully address user requests. Well-intentioned SLOs around error rate, 99th latency, etc. become meaningless if you don't understand how they affect the various objectives of various production clients.

We generally accept that clients may have to perform retries, definitely jittered and hopefully bounded. Given that's the case, what does it matter whether a single instance takes 5 seconds to come back online after failure (possibly rescheduled on a new node), or multiple instances take the same 5 seconds to recognize leader failure and elect a new leader? Sure, they're unlikely to be identical numbers, but say they're within an order of magnitude and both have error margins so it's a wash.

An architecture astronaut will put forward a design with complex leader election, endpoint discovery, distributed locking, strong consistency, etc. for the latter solution and pat themselves on the back for their expertise and professionalism. They'll waste a lot of time for both dev and SRE as long as the service lives.

A reasonable person should be able to acknowledge that, given either solution will have the client retrying about the same amount of time, the simplest solution that delivers that experience is sufficient from the client's point of view and vastly preferable from a maintainer's or operator's point of view.

Of course not every scenario will be like this. Sometimes startup is unavoidably a lot slower than re-election. It's just rare you see this evaluated in terms of client-facing numbers before a very costly architecture decision is made.
Hi there. Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated! Thanks for catching that 404, hopefully it's fixed now.

My hot-button suckage is when a product is shipped with everything turned on, like a laptop with hibernation modes and quick-saves and automatic update. So you're in an airport and want to board and it says "Don't turn off! Gonna do fifteen minutes of updates you don't want!" and I have to close it anyway. And arrive, and the battery is dead because whatever.

I call it 'shipped in screw-you mode' because some marketing idiot wanted to make sure everybody could see the shiny new thing.

> Why isn't there a company that would produce nearly macbook-quality laptops (albeit without the M-series ARM processor), but reliably linux-friendly?

Because hackintoshes are much, much, much less common than someone slapping Linux on some random bit of kit. And nobody complains about OSX breaking or not running perfectly on non-Apple hardware. As evidenced by the term "hackintosh" itself.

It's very hard for a Linux hardware company to gain any ability to innovate when so much of the market goes elsewhere.

IMHO, it's nigh on miraculous that System76 is as great as it is. I would dearly love for them to be able to do more, but the reality is that most folks complain that it's not exactly what they want, and/or not exactly at the price point they want, and give their money to someone else. (Then they complain that Linux doesn't support their new Windows hardware adequately!)

The smartest thing Apple ever did was force you to but Apple kit to run Apple software. Had they not, they'd have suffered the same fate. And we'd be discussing how much OSX sucks because it doesn't support the consumer Dell models adequately. (If OSX even continued to exist.)

From the article:

Forgiveness means letting go of anger and resentment towards someone who wronged you. It doesn’t mean forgetting what happened or saying it was okay.

You can always forgive and never trust, or trust less. Or even forgive and never speak to the person that you forgave.

So exactly like you did with your neighbours. Sounds perfectly healthy to me.

The US and Western countries, for the last several decades, have engaged in a foolish and deluded trade policy with China.
