Thanks for the advice. It’s so helpful. Why didn’t I think of that?

All the people who have never been fat have the best advice that us fatties totally appreciate and want to hear even when we never asked for it. In fact, it’s extra awesome when people bring up obvious advice when we don’t ask for it because fat people like me are actually less smart than you! So it’s really helpful to have a helping hand and I thank you for it.

Thank you for downplaying a disease that almost half of the population has and for blaming it on me as an individual. Because obviously if half the country has the exact same ailment as me, it’s really a sign of the dangerous virality of the fast paced chewing lifestyle.

Since most people who lost weight gain it back at some point statistically, it really makes logical sense that it’s all about how fast we are all chewing our food. All the celebrities and pundits on TV and in social media talk about how we need to chew our food faster, so it’s hard to escape that perverse influence.

That is such a confused spaghetti of arguments, I don't even know where to start.

One thing is clear (to me, if not to Nate): people don't base their decision to attend Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, or UChicago based on popularity polls of the unwashed masses. And the same goes for the recruiting teams at Google, Goldman, etc.

There has been a lot of talk in the financial press in the last week about not hiring recent grads from schools that don't respond to anti-semitism. Since these are considered (without a whole lot of evidence) to be the same schools with protests, there is at least some basis for it. Whether anything comes of it, we will see.
As someone who both a) does precision fab work as a hobby and b) made the somewhat unfortunate decision to memorize many thousands of kanji without caring about stroke order: it's harder. Sorry. 100% agree with the parent: even though I can read Japanese at a fairly advanced level, having not properly learned stroke order is a massive bitch. I can't handwrite for shit, and that's obvious to me and anyone else who can read Japanese of any degree of complexity. It is so many orders of difficulty above "ask[ing] about character order" that I can't even begin to verbalize what a category difference of difficulty it is. Handwriting Japanese that looks correct to a native reader assumes years of naturalization.

Dear Author, you seem not to know the concept of trying (harder). As you stop trying at the first mistake, of course you didn't get a second chance.
My experience is the exact opposite. Moving a multimillion line C++ code base from msbuild to CMake/ninja on Windows cut the build time in half.

Chrome got even better speedups I believe by building with clang/ninja on Windows.

Bazel is where the real benefits lie by reusing other people's (or CI machine's) partial build artifacts via a centralized cache and by avoiding to run tests that are not affected by code changes.

I didn't word it terribly well, so apologies for that, but for "really need" I was talking about subsistence wages in this case. I make perfectly fine money, and I do save/invest as much as I can, and I do own my house in NYC, so I do alright. I do hope to retire somewhat early, at least by American standards, but it's not like I'm making "fuck you" money.

React is still the best IMO. It's crazy how much you cover with setState and useEffect alone, I barely use the other hooks. Combined with adjacent tooling and paradigms like JSX, React Native, Next.js, I find the others can't quite keep up with the React ecosystem.

I had to use new Angular on a project recently, it's come a long way and it's actually not too bad especially with GPT-4 explaining the reasoning behind Angular, etc. However, it's no React! It's still just too complex, and I can't be bothered to get into decorators, and other quirks that come along with the Angular world.

If you're liking vanilla JS right now, you might like Node - do some backend stuff. It's just regular JavaScript. I think it's always good to stay brushed up on vanilla JS, I do one-off FE stuff all the time in classic HTML/CSS/JS, but for websites my go-to is definitely still React (Next.js typically). I prefer the declarative style, think it works well for FE state, you end up needing some kind of state management usually.

I get your point, but Ivies (and other rich private schools) offer dramatically better financial aid to "middle class" students than most state schools do.

E.g. most students who qualify for aid would take on less debt to attend Stanford or an Ivy than to attend, say, UC Berkeley. Or pick some other state school, since Cal has had its share of protests.
Great looking game, but the special EULA you have on Steam has some disagreeable clauses.

We can't:

- Allow any third party to use the Software on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party

So I can't let a friend play?

- Use the Software for any purpose that Wilhelmsen Studios considers is a breach of this EULA agreement

Ambiguous phrasing that subjects me to the whims of your interpretation.

And:

- The user agrees to indemnify and hold Wilhelmsen Studios harmless from and against all the risks arising out of the use of the Software.

Um, HELL NO. I'm not indemnifying you just to play a game. Especially with the "you can modify it at any time any way you want" clause below.

What if you (even accidentally) program the game to format my computer, participate in a botnet, download illegal content etc?

Or if the game causes YOU damages in some way - I'm not paying you for damages caused by your own code, or presuming by default to cover the costs of your lawyers if we go to court.

- Wilhelmsen Studios will offer the user no warranty on any issue arising out of the use of the “STEAM” service, and give no support thereto.

So if Steam pulls the game two days after my purchase, it's my problem not yours?

- The terms also apply to any Wilhelmsen Studios updates, supplements, Internet-based services, and support services for the Software

Does "for the Software" apply to all those items, or just the last one? (In this contrived example, if I hire you to do some consulting for me commercially - maybe "Internet-based services", am I deemed, in the absence of any other agreement, to accept these terms for that seperate relationship?)

- The provisions that by their nature continue and survive will survive any termination of this EULA agreement.

Again, very vague, and if a lawyer did this I'd tell them it's lazy drafting. I'm not sure if eulatemplate.com did you any favors here.

I was really excited to try your game but this EULA makes it a hard pass. This is far from the usual "Indie" approach typically seen here. Maybe you could explain why you need such unusual clauses, and why you can't achieve your required protections in a less user-hostile fashion.

More nonsense from Nate Silver. As he himself points out the decline in esteem is being driven by a general distrust of all institutions amongst certain elements on the right.

But what he fails to mention is that most of these people aren't in positions of power e.g. hiring and thus their opinions aren't all that relevant.

If you go to an Ivy League school you statistically will get a higher paying job, have a better chance of getting into YC and other such programs and generally lead a better life. And for most that is what is important - not the education. And he has provided no data to show it is changing.

In modern compilers, the scanning of tokens is a tiny fraction of the compile time.

If the header files are properly protected with inclusion guards, then at worst the contents are tokenized by the preprocessor, and not seen by anything else.
But for decades now, compilers have been smart enough to recognize include guards
and not actually open the file. So that is to say, when the compiler has seen a file of this form once:

#ifndef FOO
#define FOO
...
#endif

and is asked to #include that same file again, it knows that this file is guarded by FOO. If FOO exists, it won't even open that file.

There are reasons to avoid including .h files in .h files, but you're not going to get compile time gains out of it, other than perhaps through secondary effects.

By secondary effects I mean this: when in a project you forbid .h files including other .h files, it hurts to add new dependencies into header files. When you change a header such that it needs some definition in another, you have to go into every .cpp file and add the #include. So, you find ways to reduce the dependencies to avoid doing that.

When .h files are allowed to include others, the dependencies grow rampant. You want to compile a little banana, but it depends on the gorilla, which needs the whole jungle, just to be defined. Juggling the jungle definition takes a bit of time. C++ definitions are complicated, requiring lots of processing to develop. Not as much as optimizing the banana that is the actual subject being compiled to code, but not as little as skipping header files.
I doubt it's an error but let's assume it is. When I look at an online calculator for fat loss which uses some standard formulas for BMR (google fatcalc) I see that losing 62.5kg (91 pounds) means your "calories to maintain" are 1000kcal lower than at your starting weight.

It takes less calories to maintain a lighter body. Nothing surprising here. Metabolism didn't "slow down".

Whilst I can't speak for the storage part, Mac's have often always had lower RAM than their PC counterparts due to the fact that they had often needed less.

> We try to mitigate it with #ifdef guards, #pragma once etc. but in my experience those band-aids don’t solve the problem.

Why don't include guards solve the problem of duplicate parsing of .h files within one compilation unit? I believe modern compilers can entirely optimize away even the opening and scanning of the file. And even without that, modern NVMe disks are so fast I would imagine the file opens would be negligible.

Curious to hear if anyone has data on whether duplicate header file parsing is still an actual performance issue even with modern compilers, modern SSDs, and #pragma once.
It absolutely is the case for Nate, who has a vested interest in attacking education.
I remember my brother once (mid nineties) had a graphics tablet that came with a pen (corded of course) and a "mouse". But the mouse only worked on the tablet and had clear area with a crosshair. Is that the same thing? (Unfortunately I can't find a picture)

The driver, if not a complete sociopath, will be haunted by it for the rest of his/her life. Likely also bankrupt from a civil wrongful death lawsuit by the next of kin. I'm not sure what a jail sentence would do on top of that.
They raised him right. Typically takes a lot of time wisdom and luck to get to that level of self comfort with the basics. It's a soulful choice that can influence all walks of life to harmony, if only more widely the case.
As the article mentions, the driver will have to deal with the knowledge that they killed an entire family by accident, which can’t be easy. Of course, it is nothing compared to what the killed family’s fiends and loved ones feel, but “NO consequences” isn’t exactly fair.

Which is also part of the point of the article: the problem is that it’s missing the forest for the trees to treat just the driver as responsible — one could argue the driver was also failed by the entire system described here, the system that privileges vehicles and their occupants over pedestrians, that treats death as an unavoidable, and therefore acceptable, consequence of vehicle use, which itself is treated as an unalienable right.

Where are the:

- fitness-to-drive tests every few years?

- geofenced enforced speed limits?

- protected sidewalks with higher boundaries?

- physical smartphone restrictions on use while driving? (Paired with your car, moving > 5 mph, single occupancy? Car mode.)

- pedestrian-focused safety mechanisms? (E.g., external airbags?)

- traffic calming measures on major roadways shared with pedestrians?

- standards around signaling at crosswalks on major roadways?

- heavily subsidized transit that runs frequently enough that it’s preferable to driving?

Every regulation has a cost, of course, and many of these are horribly privacy-violating if naively implemented. But let’s be 100% clear what we are privileging when we make these decisions!
Why did you start it then? A lack of self control?
It's hilarious to see people up in arms about these students protesting.

Actually no, it manages the versions of the languages themselves, but doesn't interact with their package managers at all. The .tool-versions file it uses to mark the current version could be thought of as a lock file as well. It replaces (for Ruby) rbenv/rvm, not rubygems. Rustup, not Cargo, etc.

It's the other way around: null needs to be a subtype of MyType, not a supertype: anywhere I can pass a MyType I should be able to pass a null.

You could get most of the way to the blog post's outcomes by simply adding a few methods to Object (is(Not)Null, primarily) and having null be a magic (because it's all classes and none) instance that will NPE on all but the few defined Object methods, I think, but none of that answers the burning question of _why_ that I feel the article doesn't really address.
Having done some casual benchmarking recently, I found that GCC is about 15 times slower when optimizing than when not. In both situations, the compiler is scanning the same header files, so that activity is bound up within the 1/15th of the optimized compilation time.

It used to be a common wisdom that the character-level processing of code took the most time. Just like the old floating-point is slow; always use integer when possible.

Also note that the ccache tool greatly speeds up C and C++ builds. Yet, the input to ccache is the preprocessed translation unit! When you're using ccache, none of the preprocessing is skipped. ccache hashes the preprocesed translation unit (plus compiler command line options and the path of the compiler executable and such) in an intelligent way and the checks its cache. If there is a hit, it pulls the .o out of its cache, otherwise it invokes the compiler on the preprocessed translation unit.

If most of the time were spent in preprocessing, a much more modest speedup would be observed with ccache.
There's still a disconnect between Windows's ALT and mac's CMD, which impacts what CTRL does. For instance on mac CTRL+A is the emacs binding while windows maps Select All.

I don't think there is any magic bullet, short of remapping all shortcuts on either of the system, it's just tricky.
env $(cat .env) my-cmd-wanting-dotenv

would, though, wouldn't it?

ETA: the main difference between `env` and `dotenv` seems to be that `env` gets its arguments from the command line, whereas `dotenv` gets its arguments from a file. I think that's a fair difference, but I might also think that perhaps `env` should expand its offering to include some kind of `-f filename` option so that it can focus on the notion of "a configurable sub-environment for a command" and we can avoid subtle distinctions.

I have the 15 inch Macbook Air M2 and would agree it may in fact be the perfect laptop, and I have had hundreds. Trouble is... I don't use it. In fact I just bought a used Thinkpad off ebay to replace it for 99% of my work.

People generally don't think cheap and expendable are features but I would argue that they are. I need a product I'm not concerned to drop or scratch or have stolen or spill a drink on. I need something I can replace without tears that I can sleep next to and use while in the bathroom. That's not an $1800 Mac
I drive about 120 miles a day, and also like weekend road trips. I see so many accidents and fatal ones every now and then and it really weirds me out how people's lives are totally boring and average just driving down the freeway, and then just dead.

Another depressing metric is that an Americans lifetime odds of dying in a car are about 1 in 100.

I don't think FaceID is a good idea on the computer. On the phone it unlocks when the device is quite close to you, but I suspect someone could sit down at your computer and watch it unlock if you are behind them. Touching the keyboard or just using your watch is more secure.

Of course if you were in the kind of environment where it might be a problem if your computer unlocked as you walked by, you probably wouldn't enable the feature anyway. As it is I am annoyed by iphone and ipad apps that require faceid or other login each time as I'm the only one who uses those devices anyway.

Nevertheless I think faceid on the laptop or imac is an insecure idea.
