Markets are not efficient. DWAC is a retail hype stock, not unlike GME.
I've always wondered why I have never seen that marketed or recommended as it's a real thing. This is great first bottle, but that wine over there is just a fantastic third bottle. I wouldn't start off with it but...
I'm not sure what you mean by "multi-threaded async/wait"... Isn't the article considering async/await as an alternative to threads (i.e. coroutines vs threads)?

I'm a C++ programmer, and still using C++17 at work, so no coroutines, but don't futures provide a similar API? Useful for writing async code in serialized fashion that may be easier (vs threads) to think about and debug.

Of course there are still all the potential pitfalls that you enumerate, so it's no magic bullet for sure, but still a useful style of programming on occasion.
M2 is just the physical connector. It can carry PCIe, USB, and SATA.

> It feels like pop-sci journalism is always assuming animal behavior is orders of magnitude less sophisticated[1] than what is obvious from having pets, watching a basic nature doc, or just observing wildlife for a tiny bit.

I would go further and claim that basically everybody holds the assumption that animal cognition lives on a scale of not sophisticated to very sophisticated, and also that human cognition holds the top spot on this scale, and that therefor anything else is below us in sophistication.

The idea that conscious thoughts are what makes our cognitive abilities so good is merely an assumption. It's very possible that in million year of evolution humans evolve a way to do everything we do today on instinct without the need for energy hungry consciousness. That would probably allow the brain to become much smaller and efficient over time.

With our assumptions we would conclude that the smaller brain and instinctual behaviors would signify a less sophisticated brain.
I didn't realize that the audience skewed so heavily male (65%/35%). Since women are the majority of gamers, it really seems like leaving money on the table not to attract more women as viewers.

If you're using threads then consider not using Python. Or, just consider not using Python.
To be 100% clear: the std::async example I gave uses threads. Don't confuse a specific OO API with the general concept. Even vintage pthreads allow returning values on thread join.

And of course you would run multiple concurrent operations on separate threads.

edit: and of course futures are completely orthogonal to threads vs async/await. You can use them with either.
Also there is the extra software development and maintenance cost due to coloured functions that async/await causes

Unless you are doing high scalability software, async might not be worth of the trade offs.

Here's a very cheap way to get started:

I'm going to assume you have a Windows computer that you can leave on 24/7.

Go get Virtual Box (an open-source VM application) https://www.virtualbox.org/ and download a .iso from a distribution of your choice. (Maybe even try a few different distributions.)

Install Linux on the VM. Whenever you set up a service, open up a port for it on your router. Use Dyndns https://account.dyn.com/ or No-ip https://www.noip.com/ to set up a domain.

The advantages of the above approaches is that they require little (or no) money to start, and allow you to try a lot of different things. The nice things about VMs is that you can make a few of them, and back them up before you make changes, so it's easy to make mistakes and go back.

If / when you're ready to spend some money, you can either move to a physical computer or a VM hosted somewhere. Just hold off on doing this until after you've made a few mistakes.
The board is still mostly the same, nothing will change.
It's just a nice way of saying it's difficult work because Gaudi was a genius and they can't hope to equal him. It doesn't mean they won't try their best.
Makes sense, though I’d consider neither for work nowadays.

I have fond memories of using msys2 for gcc but I’ve never used it for more than that.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned SDF yet.

http://sdf.org/

They're an org with a super long legacy in the technology / linux server space and they offer a unix shell for free. It's a great starting place to play around, and there is a built in community of hackers that are also hacking around on the shell, so its easy to find answers for "Beginner" questions.

I know as well for a nominal fee they offer VOIP Telephony, every flavor of database under the sun, and lots of other fun stuff. Great place to start tinkering with these technologies.
That puts a great perspective, though please correct if I am wrong - if you are testing power supplies - you need to dump that power somewhere?

Can’t you dump it back to power grid (easy to say, probably not so easy to do)? There will be losses, but better than nothing.

Living in a flat while also owning it might have been a viable option in the past but that ship has sailed quite a while ago. In major cities - which is where the good joobs are - you're looking at down-payments of 200-300k to arrive at your current rent and even then you'd pay the mortgage for 30 years.
Yes, lots of cool things to do around fonts! I have in TODO to add automatic system font fallback with the right metrics in order to improve CLS automatically. Is it what you call "freeze opentype axes based on font-feature-settings" or is it something else?

Twenty years is a mighty short time period for expecting a huge paradigm shift in industry. In 1973 I was touring industrial plants and got to see an automated retrieval and delivery system operating in a plant warehouse. (It might have been the Copolymer plant in Baton Rouge - hard to remember.) So even 50 years may be a bit too short.

Looking back a few hundred years it is easy to see that we have made progress. In the mining industry, for example, the need for large haul trucks is reduced by long conveyors. The longest I have seen is two miles. Those conveyors are barely attended to by operators and their operation is monitored by control systems connected wirelessly and reliably.

The real leap will come, not from increased automated operation, but from automated maintenance. That won't happen until well after IOT is more fully implemented. By that, I don't mean more devices connected to the Internet. In my opinion, IOT's potential lies in the future of the "Things" making decisions based on information from the connected devices.
That's not been my experience, warnings about set and setting and being in the right headspace are pretty typical. It might not be mentioned in popsci articles but they're not expecting you to go out and actually take any.
Not sure why you’re starting a totally unrelated debate. If you’re pulling in a library via FFI, you have no control over what that library has done. You’d have to audit the source code to figure out if they’ve done anything that would be incompatible with fibers. And TLS is but one example. You’d have to audit for all kinds of OS thread usage (e.g. if it uses the current thread ID as an index into a hashmap or something). It may not be common, but Go’s experience is that there’s some issue and the external ecosystem isn’t going to bend itself over backwards to support fibers. And that’s assuming that these are solved problems within your own language ecosystem which may not be the case either when you’re supporting multiple paradigms.
Honestly I'm more surprised that there still exist people willingly using anything from Oracle or advise doing it. Oracle is The Asshole.
Pls dont.

That's pretty neat packaging, but it is unclear if the text about LSD would be visible from the outside. I imagine it would have to be completely invisible to be considered any sort of stealth. It's neat that the 5x20 design implies that it was rectangular, probably designed to mirror the size and shape of film. Each package shipped with 1,000,000 micrograms.

Finally, it's pretty incredible that something like this survived. Most people follow a "dispose of the evidence" protocol when it comes illicit drug packaging.

> Your definition is at odds with (for instance) JavaScript's implementation of a non-blocking function though, as it will perform computation until the first await point before returning

Yes, that's syntactic sugar for returning a promise. This pattern is something we've long called a non-blocking function in Javascript. The first part that's not in the promise is for setting it up.
Async/await makes more sense in some languages than others.

For most PLs, algebraic effects look ideal. Just seems like we're figuring out how to talk about them to users and what the UX should be.
> I feel like LSD is way more visual (basically a fun rollercoaster ride) and the actual introspection happens on stuff like shrooms.

Funny, I usually have the opposite experience :) LSD for deep, not-so-much visual, inwards journeys and mushrooms for very visual, laugh-y and social experiences.
C suite reports to the board, board reports to investors. This appears to be what shareholders and the US gov (which hasn't nationalized Boeing yet) have the appetite for at the moment. More to come? Depends on how much worse things get or how slowly they get better. First, renovate. If renovation does not succeed, burn the house down and rebuild.
I think that you are painting a bit of an unreasonably bleak view of pyenv. I think that one can easily get value out of it without being a Python expert. I’m not sure how I can refute your “yes, but you’ll eventually run into trouble. You just haven’t clocked enough hours yet”. I can’t prove a negative. But I’ll say that I’ve been writing Python in my day job for a decade.

But, to add to the list of problems, these Python versions IIRC do not compile with optimisation turned on, so they’re by default quite a bit slower than they need to be.

> Actually, it only builds it locally if it can't find a pre-packaged version for your system/arch. Admittedly that's most of the recent ones on a Mac, but there is a difference (I've been using pyenv for nearly ten years[1] now).

Really? I regularly use this on Linux exactly because it compiles from source rather than using the system provided Python which often have patches in them that breaks pip's test suite.

I've never encountered it trying to use the system provided Python, but maybe there's a weird quirk in the way I am using it.
When will the US do something against Google and Android? We at Appwrite are trying to build a decent alternative for Firebase push notifications, but in 2024 still forced to send our own customers to signup for our competitors service to be able to do it properly.

The biggest advantage of WinGet is that it is installed out of the box with Windows 11, recent versions of Windows 10, and auto-installed into Windows 10 by update processes deeply back down (I think all the way back to the original Anniversary Edition).

A smaller advantage is WinGet's default installed sources use Microsoft CDNs for package metadata which are often whitelisted in firewalls or at least gentler in their MITM attacks, and WinGet's primary source (the "winget" source) uses canonical installer URLs rather than repackaging (pulls the same EXE/MSI installer that you would if you went to a download page manually). That combination of well known URL patterns generally means WinGet has a kinder experience with corporate firewalls and corporate anti-virus tools than scoop can provide.
> Opening more markets makes it less attractive for games companies to accept getting bought, doesn't it?

Not really, unless it suddenly becomes easy to develop and market a game for all platforms. Pushing your code to a shop instead 3 shops won't be an amazing saving.

> More and they would sell less of them? Making it less attractive for game devs to develop for said console. So what am i missing?

Well - if fewer consoles exist, each with 10 different store fronts you have to now push to, presumably that means games cost more, as they're selling fewer units, and (less important, but still painful) they have to figure out which store should have which integrations / price / deals/ etc.

McMansions are also functional. They may not look good, but they do what people need in a house well (obviously with thousands of different McMansions there will be thousands of different things). I have a house in 1970 - it is okay, but modern houses of a similar size are a lot more functional because space is used differently. I've been in houses built in 1920 which were really bad - they looked nice but as an engineer I see a lot of things that are just wrong.
Maybe a lot of people suffer from a degree of dyscalculia, but in my experience if you do it a lot you just stop making mistakes. Not just me, many others I've seen reliably do calculations pretty quick without making errors, you just do everything twice as you go and then arithmetic errors go to basically 0.

But I do acknowledge that there are probably some or many humans that maybe can't reach that level of reliability with arithmetics.

i understood it to mean that the architectural vision of Gaudi was so original and singular that and future work could only be completion of an original design, an imitation of the already completed work, or an obviously seperated style (like inserting a jazz solo in mozart)

in contrast other architects worked within a well defined style with rules and systems that can be worked within by modern architects to "posthumously" collaborate. like how you can use the principles of gothic architecture to add a modern addition to a gothic cathedral. the only principle Gaudi followed was natural inspiration and his own interpretation of that, something nobody could ever define
The obvious solution then is to force the marketplace to crack down on sexualization, even the playing field so to speak.
Piracy is "wrong" in the context of the social contract we're taught from birth: treat others nice and they'll treat us nice. It's the underpinning of our success as the human species.

Corporations are not humans and do not honor the social contract.

A flat that cost 500-600K in Berlin would be rented out at 1000€ a month, that can’t increase more than the rent control allows. A mortgage would cost 3 times as much.

So you’d be better off renting and investing the deposit, the stamp duty, notary costs and the 2000€ you save each month in government bonds.

Defer.run Announces End of Service
Just received the below email:

Dear customer,

I hope this message finds you well. Today, I come to you with a heavy heart to share some important news regarding Defer.

After a rewarding journey filled with incredible support from users like you, we've reached a point where we must decide to discontinue Defer's services. This decision was not easy, especially considering the vibrant community that has grown around our platform.

As of May 1, 2024, Defer will no longer be available.

We understand this news might be disappointing, and we want to extend our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. The journey of building and growing Defer with you has been an invaluable part of our lives.

Thank you for your understanding and your support throughout this journey.

Warm regards,

Bryan CTO
Co-founder, Defer

I just discovered Defer after Planetscale shut down their fee tier and migrating to Supabase. Supabase turned out to be less efficient at the long running tasks I have set up for a side project, causing my service to hit next.js 10s timeouts. Defer.run fixed my issues in a few lines of code, it was an incredible experience. Logs were great, dx was great. They will be truly missed.
> Intel has poorly executed a quite a few things while Pat has been CEO.

He's been CEO for 3 years, considering the state of decay of Intel in 2021 that's not a lot of time to turn things around. AMD took ~6 years between Bulldozer and Zen 1 and you could even argue that Zen 2 is when it truly became competitive so that's 8 years.

I'm not saying he's the Intel messiah FWIW, just that the jury is probably still out on whether he will deliver or not.
