It's a weird concept to "care about programming". Same as "inadequate code". I find this statement really condescending and completely confirms some of the cliché quotes that the author write in this article

There hasn't been decades of decriminalization though? There have been decades of extremely harsh enforcement, far exceeding that applied to, for example, alcohol, fraud, sexual assault, ...

What there has been is decades of "maybe years in jail for drug use is excessive?", to which some places said "let's have less restrictions on drug use than we do on alcohol" which is absurd though I suspect less harmful in the long term, but many have doubled down on punishment.

That is ignoring the demonstrable bias in enforcement of drug crimes, that meant that even in heavily policed and restrictive areas the drug laws primarily act as a method to criminalize specific social groups (drugs used by the wealthy generally have lower penalties than those use by everyone else, enforcement of drug crimes means that despite every study on the topic showing little racial split in use, the overwhelming majority of people in prison for weed use in the US are black).

Treat drugs the same way we treat alcohol: taxed, regulated, age restricted, etc (and please get people to stop smoking joints at concerts. I don't understand why people who would never consider smoking a cigarette inside then light up a joint in a crowded hall.)

oh interesting. The Debian you get using the Proxmox LXC template installs to 540MB. (Compare 10MB Alpine, 178MB OpenSUSE). But I don't think they put any effort into making it a small container. Getting down to 235MB is pretty good.

(Hilariously, 4MB of Alpine's 10MB is libcrypto.)
Sure, and I remember thinking the practice was just as stupid then (and in the 90s) as it is now.

I feel like your analysis is painting with way too broad a brush. Not all businesses are aligned, not even all large businesses are aligned.

Also, I admit I was specifically looking at tech with my statement about not having seen it, given the platform and your comment about Intel. I think there are many, many, many truly great places to work in tech where there is not this petty short-sightedness.

However, zooming back out, my opinion in general is that scenarios like the one you described at Intel is pure incompetence. Much corporate decay and malfeasance is due to incompetence.

Privatizing publicly built infrastructure did not inoculate us from surveillance.

To actually do it we need to exercise control through the collective mechanism we call government. Laws, regulation, oversight, audits, sunshine policies. It's the only way to curb it. Mistrusting your only mechanism of control and putting blind faith into private markets did not work. We tried it. It failed.

I also had the same bad experience with Rust outside of Gamedev. Probably a lot of other people too, but people don't talk about it much, because the Rust community is the most religious programming language community I've ever seen in my life. Before Rust, the Scala community was also pretty bizarre (Java too for a while), but nothing was on Rust's level. The worst part about Rust isn't technical, it's the crazy community. You can see in the article that the author tries to explain everything at every point, trying to escape the problem "If you don't understand something in Rust, you're holding Rust wrong."

Of course, there are many people in the Rust community who are not religious and try to improve the language, but my general feeling after reading a lot about Rust is to stay very far from the church of Rust.

The best response to this type of community is humor, like this video about a Rust Senior developer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGfQu0bQTKc

We agree, solving binary search tree problems do not need solving. That's an old problem. Problem is if you need people to choose and adapt algorithms for a specific new problem, copilot will have a hard time and so you will have a hard time if you don't know how the algorithms work and never adapted one. Because copilots are not good at choosing the correct algorithm and adapting it for new problems, as far as my experience with the competitive programming course I took goes anyway.

If you have an old problem, copilot can solve it, true.

That being said, looking through the recent archive it seems like these things come in waves, with a series of stories targeting Republicans (mostly Trump), followed by a few in a row that go after Biden or Harris.

That is not, and has never been, true. BT was privatized in 1984. Over the years since then, they've been forced by regulators to open up more and more of the stack to competing ISPs. At one point, you could buy wholesale services like ISDN lines or p2p E1 circuits. Later, ISPs could rent space in the telephone exchanges and individual copper wires. In the current FTTP world, they can either rent a layer 2 service or deploy their own fiber in BT ducts and pay a few pence per meter rental.

Imagine if react was pure. Just a huge tree of components.

Each one is simply this: (your data) => <your html>

And then at the top you call render({ my data + functions }), your data propagates down the render tree, and you get an html page back. So simple! Just one function that you call. You put your data in the top, you get your html out.

Except.... what if that's too pure, sometimes. Can't a render function just remember a variable between calls? Why can't a render function two thirds down the tree fetch the data if it's needed? When things aren't so pure, you can optionally pull out hooks to break out of the purity. That way you don't have to do everything at the top level and outside of react, if you don't want to. Just bang a useState in at an appropriate level that makes sense, and it'll remember the state between renders.

Trajectory Reverse Engineering
In Australia the government a private company owned by the government largely owns the last mile (except where competitors built fibre first). All the backhaul between "points of interconnect" is owned privately.

As a user though you pay for bandwidth at the interchange because that's how the old privatised and divested government monopoly did it.

The model, last mile public utility but all the speed private wouldn't be all that awful if it weren't butchered by various vested interests. In theory the current last mile company will be sold once it becomes profitable.

Context is important.

> to celebrate the person that passed

It is clearly written that such celebrations are for the person who has passed.

It isn't even implicit: It's literally spelled out, in very plain English, what the purpose of these celebration are.

> I hope people get together and celebrate when I die.

Here, it is clearly written that the author hopes that people will perform such a celebration for him when he does eventually die.

Not because he is dead, but because he has lived. That's what celebrating a person means.

By "care about programming" I basically mean writing maintainable code.

By "inadequate code" I mean code that does what the author wants at this point in time, but is completely unmaintainable and just bad. Sloppy practices, etc
No, what we are hearing is that a group for some reason chose a horrible catch phrase that they now say does not mean what the phrase specifically, on it's face, means, and that the group now wants to tell everyone it's not them it's us.

Edit: I think the USA needs to completely change how we approach mental health. My grandfather spent his life cruisading for that. Allowing the catch phrase to distract from that point to the extent that the catch phrase is now pretty much a central focus shows that 'defend the police' very much is a problem.

As I said in my own comment down thread, despite being a huge rust advocate, I sincerely agree with you here.

Rust is not a good language for actually writing games, and the fact that it is being sold as such is really detrimental to it in my opinion, because it is holding the ecosystem back. Rust is being pushed as a language for game logic, so people try out and realize it isn't very good at that, and so they just give up on Rust in the game development industry at all and leave, understandably! If Rust were more strategically positioned, it could get a lot farther. Where it should be focusing in the games industry is on game engines, where flexibility and quick iteration and easy prototyping and being able to just reach out and directly touch and control things isn't as important, but where concerns like the clarity and maintainability of the code base, stability of the software, resource ownership and management, and eeking out every ounce of performance all become important, and so the type system and static analysis guarantees of Rust are actually useful.

This is where, I'm disappointed to say, I think things like Bevy and Amethyst have severely hurt the Rust game development ecosystem. They aren't really game engines in the traditional sense, they are more like game frameworks like Love2D except written in Rust: they force you to statically link your game code to the engine code, and write your game logic in the same language your engine is written in. This means that game developers who just want to quickly prototype game mechanics and want to be able to iterate on them in order to refine them are forced to use a language that is far too focused on correctness, safety, static verifiability, and concerns like that to actually be usable as a programming language, and worse, it forces them to compile their game logic and the entire engine together and link them together in order to build their actual game and test it, massively increasing the weight of the process and basically ruling out hot reloading or making your game independent of any specific version of the engine, or its license. It puts them between a rock and a hard place, between using some other ecosystem, or using a language that simply unsuitable for a game development.

I think the far better solution (one which I plan to very slowly feel out with my embryo engine project, which is born out of my frustration of looking at the existing rust game engines and feeling like they are all kind of lying about what they are) would be to stop with the vaporware and the hype with Bevy and Amethyst and such, and actually build a proper game engine, like they are promising to be but are not, that is its own separate pre-compiled executable that game developers don't even need to mess with at all, that picks up game assets and game code written in a more flexible, dynamic, language that's better for prototyping, and runs them, something like what Unity or Godot or even Gamebryo do. Only then will the rust game development ecosystem take off, because it will no longer be forcing a language that just isn't good for that on to people.
I will always respect Amiga computers. When I went to college in the fall of 1989, I brought my beloved Apple IIc and 9" green screen. The day after moving in to the dorm, I discovered that one of my fellow students on the floor had an Amiga and I was absolutely floored by the color graphics and performance.
Lamothe's Black Art book came out in '95. Abrash's black book came out in '97.

Borland C++ was pretty common and popular in 93 and we even had some not-so-great C++ compilers on Amiga in 92/93 that had some use in gamedev.

SimCity 2000 was written in C++, way back in '93 (although they started with Cfront)

An absolute fuckton of shareware games I was playing in the 90s were built with Turbo C++.
I have lots of Amigas I bought about 10-15 years ago too in my basement. Just not being used nowadays. Cost 50 quid each back in the day.
It does seem rather ridiculous that they’re allowed to call this feature either autopilot or full self driving beta.
In london I used to have 4 different physical fibre providers available plus one which is fibre to the building and cat5e to the prem. At a retail level there were hundreds of providers to choose from.

> Most desktop environments will allow windows to supply their own decorations if they wish but will provide a default implementation on the server side as an alternative. GNOME, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that all clients must provide their own decorations, and if a client does not, they will simply be missing

I'm sure there was/is a good reason why this design decision was made, but it certainly seems a bit odd. Imagine if every game had to write decorations for every platform and desktop environment...
There’s a pretty big difference between the Playdate and anything else in performance but also in requirements for assets. So much so I hope your idea is scoped accordingly. But yeah Love2d is great.

It was changed to being able to keep the old license if you don't upgrade to Unity 6 or beyond. They added 2.5% revenue share as an option to the flat runtime fee to make sure you can't end up in a situation where you are losing money per user just from the runtime fee alone. Unity by default charges for whichever ends up cheaper.

> It's hard to see how any of this is false under the US standards.

You are taking their claims at face value. It doesn't matter what standards you apply other than truthfulness, and these claims could still be false. There's no substantiation provided, merely the claim that such exists. A court case in the US would still require them to provide that substantiation, otherwise their claims could be considered libel. While the libel laws in the US and UK differ, it is not legal either in the US to defame someone either knowingly or negligently.
So the issue was poor government regulation and not public ownership of the infrastructure?
Also a 1Password passkey user. It is the most portable implementation of passkeys I've used. Still, if you want portability with passkeys you have to trust some company to sync them. I don't want to need to rely on Google, Apple, or Microsoft to sync my keys because those platforms all have some lock-in. Guess 1Password is a form of vendor lock-in too, but it is one I don't mind.

I don't think we should consider passkeys failed already. The widespread rollout just got started, and the ecosystem hasn't had a chance to catch up. Give it some time, and see if things get better.
"squid". It's pronounced "squid".
Storage may not even be needed. Or be very small compared to what's used elsewhere.

Eg. the boats mentioned in article: if their 'solar roof' is big enough, and they're only used during daylight hours, they might be run without any batteries. Simply PV panels -> converter -> motor.

Likewise, some activities that use more power could be limited to those hours where solar power is plenty.

On a large AC grid it's difficult to control the consumption side. But on a small/local grid (or single-building setups), much easier: short lines between producers & consumers - literally.
