That's fine, I understand that a lot of my criticisms are arguably actually advantages, but after doing the MOOC about 8 years ago I just couldn't stick with it. Fun though, and a great way to really learn OOP at the time when I was just starting out programming.
You were flagged for no such thing.

You were flagged for a pointless quip about "woke"ness. Other people repeated more civil and reasonably argued forms of your same point about the language and its community and received no such downvotes.

No need to play martyr.
With competent government, many big problems would disappear!
Looking over the syntax, it seems that lines end with a period, much like in English. This makes much more sense than semicolon!

That said, it looks like you end up with a million windows to do anything. Seems like the UI could be better UX'd, no? Guessing this a community that would treat such a comment as harassment.
They file all sorts of forms for where their revenue comes from, they're very profitable without government help, it's an easily checkable fact.
Or just to avoid a systemd distro.
Swift has a systems programming subset, and an even smaller embedded programming subset.

Of course "smaller" is significant here; it has less features and you might not like using it anymore.
There are free market consequences as well though. People at large very easily get spooked by a brand when numerous alternatives are available.
There are a bunch of existing spreadsheets that allow you to estimate sizing of the panels and batteries.

You couple that with maps that show 'full hour equivalency' figures for your area, and add in how much extra reserve you want, using calculations based off "I want the system to handle X days of no solar" and "I want the system to be able to charge back to full, given typical household load, within Y days."

A number of folks with off-grid systems have backup generators for the odd "two weeks of rain" situation or a failure of part of the system.

It ends up being fairly efficient because you can size the charger to almost fully load the generator. A fridge uses about 1kWhr/day, which is about 15 minutes of a 3kW generator running...

> Just because a system is randomized doesn't mean it's not predictable

That's of course true (In fact I tend to also believe in a non-deterministic universe "at the core").

But if determinism falls out in the end, it's still a hint that there may also be deterministic effects at the root. Current observation can't rule that out, it's just our model which assumes pure randomness. But there are lot's of possibilities how randomness can sneak in into QM which doesn't contradict obserservation.

And unless we solve the measurement problem in QM (by finding a unified theory from which both Schoedingers equations and Borns rule can be derived), it's still an open question. So considering it solved today is quite premature.

> ... chaotic systems ...

That's still deterministic. Sure, there may be some influence from quantum effects which then are amplified, but the dynamic of the chaotic system itself is still deterministic.

> (SR) ... predicting an identical speed of light for all observers

That's not really true. "identical speed of light for all observers" is an observation which was replicated quite often. SR is a way to explain this observation, but there before SR Lorenz already had a different model explaining it too. SR won, because Lorenz used an (at the time) unobservable "ether" and Einstein argued that its better to use Occams Razor and throw this "ether" away.

But Einstein didn't now about QFT, the Big-Bang and the microwave-background - which all contradict Einsteins assumptions: QFT uses an "ether-like" vacuum, the Big-Bang created a "T=0" for the universe and with the microwave-background also an absolute reference frame for an absolute time. This in all contradicts SR, so maybe SR is really wrong on a global level.

Which in turn would allow a non-local, realistic interpretation of quantum measurements because without SR simultaneity could be back on the table.
Quick iteration perhaps isn't the biggest strength of C++ either. Rust does have some friction when it comes to "I'll try this with a dirty impl and if it flies, then I cam make a clean one later". I guess if that friction is worth it will depend on how much faster you get on other things, e.g. refactoring without spending a lot of effort worrying about introducing hard-to-spot bugs like races, or - worse - having to spend valuable time fixing those bugs instead of adding fun to the game.
You work them in to your descriptions of past positions. Like task prioritization is something you can mention in the context of a job "prioritized maintenance and bug-fixes against new features to deliver X..." I you just assert it as part of a lost it won't count for anything.
That's already the case. This is why most drug companies are quite large. And investors spread their investments. Competing as a small startup is extremely hard compared in this field compared to for example software.

Unless you're asking why there is not a single state-run drug company doing everything, in which the case the answer is scale has disadvantages, having some diverse set of companies in a space like this has advantages, and state run centralism has been debunked so many times I can't be arsed.
If the network’s owner was the one doing DNS redirects, couldn’t they just instead use the IP address in the DNSSEC-signed record themselves? I don’t think DNSSEC is a robust protection if you don’t trust the network you’re connected to.
Ghost in the shell anticipated so much. The premise of the first movie is that a model gains sentience (creates its ghost out of thin air), claims asylum, and the model merges itself with the ghost within the major.

Everything in that series depicted is stuff that either exists today or will exist within 30 years. Everything.
Me too. I’ve been impressed with some essays I’ve listened to via Open AI TTS. Much better than the librivox ones I’ve occasionally suffered through, and it’s only going to get better.
If it helps, they can't possibly be as toxic as Lisp programmers used to be, where more or less any online conversation would start with someone new asking a question and Erik Naggum replying that they were a moron who should die.
They are trying out all the fancy tech showcased in movies and science books from the last 100 years.
I've found Rust very pleasant for building little games. I've mostly been using SDL + a my own little shim so I can target web through wasm & canvas.

I had professionally worked with C++ for a long time so getting comfortable with Rust wasn't too bad.

The simple thing to remember is that for all versions of Python going back 12 years, there's no such thing as "default encoding of string". A Python string is defined as a sequence of 32-bit Unicode codepoints, and that is how Python code perceives it in all respects. How it is stored internally is an implementation detail that does not affect you.

> things like the Magna Carta, rights of due process, habeas corpus

I think Habeas Corpus is one of the few clauses of Magna Carta that still has legal effect (the former is part of the latter).

And remember that Magna Carta was a deal between the "barons" and King John; the rights that Magna Carta purported to confer, only applied to barons (landowners, basically). In the time of King John, the law as most ordinary people encountered it was simply the local baron.

I think it wasn't until Henry II that there were royal courts set up, to deliver the same law everywhere.
Centurylink did not block internet to display an ad. They blocked internet to display a notice so they could comply with some regulation. This was a bad move. But wont be prevented by Net neutrality.

Data throttling during heavy load wont violate NN either.

And cell phone networks have long throttled video data connections even during NN. Not much of an issue nowadays because of robust networks.
If you ever need to do that in the future in Java for whatever reason, Java actually has it already in the standard library--it's called LinkedHashMap.
Sheesh, it takes a lot of smoke & mirrors to divert people's attention away from the essential need for price per megabyte to always trend net downward.

But you can trust Enron to have it all figured out and be able to play different rates of decline as if it was actual ups & downs.

More like un-credibility.
Wait, these companies are making PROFITS that they're returning to INVESTORS??? I don't know whether to call 60 Minutes, the FBI, or The Daily Worker.
This is standard recent Google. A year or so ago, they laid off GCP upper tier support to replace them with cheaper workers.

PS: I won't say which MAAN_, but the recruiters are half based in India now. Coincidentally, it's a MAAN_ that laid me off previously in a relatively recent timeframe rather than attempt to find me another home internally. Brain explodes. Perhaps MAANGs need to focus more on long-term sustainability if they intend to retain top talent because morale is non-uniformly, moderately miserable due to the actions of multiple rounds of layoffs creating unbounded uncertainty, vague bizword slogans, and cheap perk cutbacks.
This is what happens when you outlaw building new homes, and especially when you outlaw building apartments.
Be very careful of the language in articles about EVs. They seem to try intentionally to mislead.

Here is what this article says:

> Tesla and its nearest rival in electric car volumes, China’s BYD, have both reported lower electric car sales.

Yet, BYD sales are up when you compare to the same quarter last year. Yes, they are down from Q4 but that’s not apples to apples, is it?

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/byd-ma....

> BYD sold 626,263 units of all vehicle types in the first quarter, up 13.4% from a year earlier, but down 33.7% from a record quarterly high of 944,779 in the fourth quarter, the stock exchange filing showed.

> March sales were 302,459 vehicles, a 46% jump from a year earlier and its second-highest monthly sales tally. BYD reported an all-time monthly high of 341,043 units in December.

There’s even a graph here in this article with a similar doom-and-gloom headline that shows that Q1 is always the lower quarter for BYD: https://www.ft.com/content/1f18cf1f-8b28-446a-81d2-86555f52a...

Subtitles are not accurate all the time. Yes I think gpt can make sense of the dialogues, but what about a fight scene with no dialogue in-between??
Can it identify Who is saying what? I don't think gpt can do these things.

I think it's a mix. We're learning a bit each time. I'm bummed in the rush to get this finally published we made a few errors. We first found what looked like the source back in September last year.

Having the source on GitHub feels like a nice way for some people to peek through it... but there's clear compromise between archival and sharing some source.
"I tend to agree about the "async contamination" problem. The "async" system is optimized for someone who needs to run a very large web server, with a huge number of clients sending in requests. I've been pushing back against it creeping into areas that don't really need it."

100% this. As I say elsewhere in these threads: Rust is the language that Tokio ate. It isn't even just async viral-chain-effect, it's that on the whole crates for one async runtime are not even compatible with those of another, and so it's all really just about tokio.

Which sucks, if you're doing, y'know, systems programming or embedded (or games). Because tokio has no business in those domains.
Land worth a lot, home may in fact have negative value if it is torn down as that costs new owner money. Nothing new here.
I think these comments are fair. It's true that Rust is rigid.

I've had great success with Rust, but on projects where I knew exactly what I needed to build. Rust's focus on code correctness is great for maintenance of projects, where the priority is in keeping them stable and not causing regressions.

So while I'd say Rust is pretty quick for refactoring of something like a device driver, it's far away from the hot-reloaded time traveling live tinkering IDE.

Almost all parallelism in game engines is for very specific parts of the engine and almost none of the gameplay stuff is paralellizable. What people who haven't actually had to go through and solve the problems presented in game engines often times misunderstand is that when your game is running poorly because everything is happening on a single thread, almost all of this speed issue is because of rendering. Then physics. These are very hard problems to solve and it's more complicated than "use an ECS" to solve them.
People should get more into integration tests. If you start out thinking you need to separate everything for unit testability, you instantly get architecture astronaut-ism, where your architecture is entirely based on fake testability instead of the thing it's actually meant to do in production.
Serious question here. Is this law more or less stating that the business gets no revenue back from local or state government? I have no issue with the argument that internet service is a basic right but if that is the case, I would expect the government to either offer the service or pay a market/agreed price to cover the cost for low income users.
> those cuts have been disproportionately borne by the 10% that goes to urban users

This is really the core of my frustration - if you're a CA resident, and don't live in the central valley or work in the agriculture business, what possible benefit to you is supplying most of the world's supply of almonds? Water, especially in the southwest, is an increasingly scarce and valuable resource. Why would california residents want to subsidize the rest of the world's almond consumption? (Honestly I think they don't, but the political reasons behind this are complex and depressing and way off track of the subject matter of this thread)

For everything wasm, Rust is much more pleasant with good libraries than the competition.
E-scooters are probably superior to e-bikes in American cities if for no other reason than that you can fold them up and take them with you into buildings.

Yes I understand there are folding bikes, and provisions to allow bikes to be stored inside buildings too. But neither are perfectly implemented.

Leaving a halfway decent bike outside, locked or not, is just begging it to be stolen sooner or later.
> If you minimize and then restore a window, it saves that position on the screen. There are some programs that will misbehave no matter what but after that, you can close and reopen the program and it should open in the same screen, with the same size and position.

Is this a mac-ism? A standard behavior? An expectation? Something a program would do automatically?

As for the behavior I agree - so long as the screen index exists and so on. But should a program remember more than that. Like "Last time there were two screens, we were moved to screen B and exited there, so we should now start there" even though it has been run on a single screenA since. That's the typical office user with laptop + external screen.
Interesting, I almost find it the opposite right now. Learning the engine is a pain in the ass -- it's not particularly hard, just tedious to learn all the APIs and quirks -- and then when you're initially building the thing, "it's not fun yet" for a quite a while. But then once you have the fundamentals down, you can add more abilities and characters and other features, that's the fun shit.

I was working on the AI last night, and since I already had one functioning AI agent, it was pretty easy to spin up variations that behaved in moderately different ways, which was very fun!

I've only been dabbling though, and still sort of in the prototype stage, not quite a full game yet but getting there. Maybe I'll feel more like you suggest deeper into development.

I have been using 1Password for over 15 years and it has the ability to only show/fill passwords when on the correct site. The issue is, over time, companies shift their strategies on the web. URLs change, while the accounts stay the same. I have had to update these details many times. I've also run into situations where the browser plugin isn't functioning, for whatever reason, and the only way in is to copy/paste. There are also times where I'm not on my computer. For example, I usually piggyback on my dad's copy of TurboTax each year. When I'm over there, I will often need to pull up a password on my phone and type it into TurboTax as it logs into my bank to download the tax forms. Passkeys don't sound like they can solve that problem. I'd question if the Passkeys would work in TurboTax even if I was running it on my own computer.

With passwords and logins, it seems like there are far too many edge cases to draw a hard line to say they are locked in the password manager forever. Having a way to copy it out, or export, is also a way to ensure portability, if the password manager being used ever becomes bad and a different option is needed.

Password managers put users in a vulnerable position, as once a user is invested, they've got you by the short hairs. The thing that keeps this from being a big problem, is that there is always a way out. Eliminating this way out, or raising the barrier to exit, can temp these password managers to extort their users, which is not good.
Yeah, I think I knew that even at the time, but I suspect if my answer was just "import java.util.LinkedHashMap", they might have been a bit disappointed.
In sane countries, HIV drugs cost dozens of dollars per month. In the US, those same HIV drugs retail for thousands of dollars for only a 30-day supply.

Similarly, companies that patent HIV drugs purposely hold off on bringing new, better drugs to market until the patents for their old drugs expire. For example, Gilead held on to Descovy and timed its launch to conveniently match up with the patent expiration of their drug Truvada. It's planned obsolescence in drug form.

Truvada had common complications like kidney damage and failure, and bone density loss, that Descovy mitigated. Had Gilead brought Descovy to market sooner, instead of holding on to it until Truvada's patent expiration, people could have had the option to choose between the two drugs, and those at risk of complications wouldn't have received needless kidney damage/failure and bone deterioration from their only option on the market.

During Truvada's patent period, Gilead raised prices practically every year, and a drug that already cost $2k a month suddenly cost over $4,500 a month towards the end of its patent protection period. In other countries, it cost $40.

Gilead is now doing the same thing with Descovy, charging $2,600 a month with rising prices for a drug that costs far less in sane countries.

Just because things might be "better", doesn't mean they're perfect, and doesn't mean they don't need to improve.

As an aside, these are drugs that prevent the acquisition of HIV in the first place. AIDS could virtually be eradicated in the US if HIV prophylaxis was widespread and affordable.

If I understand the trial[1] correctly, the "shortcut" is running a trial with small molecule drugs that were invented 90-20 years ago, commercially developed by someone else, and are now off or going off patent.

The headline should read: "7900 sqft lot sells for $1.7M"...

This was true for our house mid-peninsula: The appraised value of the land was 95% of the purchase price; the appraised value of the structure was less than the cost to bulldoze.

Given the proximity to Los Altos, this house will be purchased by a developer & razed, and they'll build a new 4000-sqft 2-story which will be listed for $5M+.

I think the logic here is that the government has already subsidized them by granting privileges to use public infrastrucure that was built with tax dollars. There can only be so many wires running on the poles or under the streets so in return for that privilege, you have to provide this in return.
