You can see bug fixes and new features. There's just a moment where bigger features become unfeasible to be done this way. It's the same dedicated fans that implement new features and fix bugs that then move into decompilation projects.
I watched The Shining for the first time in around 2012 and when commenting to an older friend about it I said something to the effect of "It's good, but I didn't feel it was exceptional." to which he replied saying that "Yes, but consider that it was the first real film of that genre, it only seems "okay" today because you're comparing to all the films of the same genre which came after and were largely influenced by it."

I don't know enough about films to know that if he said was accurate, but it's stuck with me.

I was about 16 when The Matrix came out and I find it interesting asking people who were born after it came out what they think about it, if they've seen it their reaction is typically (much like me with The Shining) "seemed alright", while for me at the time the movie was phenomenal and in terms of many of its special effects, unlike anything I had ever seen before.

In general, not related to this event, anything over FL410 (roughly 41,000ft) and closer to the pole than 70 degrees latitude would be considered high altitude and high latitude in the aviation world.

Above FL410 is rare, except for business jets that can cruise that high. It comes with extra requirements on oxygen masks etc.

Polar routes are not that rare, but depend on certification how far away from a suitable airport you can go.

Total solar energy hitting earth = ~45 Petawatts

Total power used by humans = 16 Terawatts.

What we get from the Sun in one hour, is how much we use for the whole year.

All our energy needs can be covered if we can tap into just 0.00001% of energy received. About 100km2 worth of solar panels.

If every residential and commercial building was covered with solar roof - we’d have all our energy needs covered during day time.

It’s free energy if we know how to use it. Plants do and they make up >99.9% of biomass on this planet.

The problem with C02 is it traps the heat. All useful work is done when high energy packets from sun in ultraviolet and visible light get dissipated into heat (infrared).

If we don’t solve greenhouse gas problem, we can’t use more energy since we’d be out of equilibrium.
> or Rust isn’t as capable as C++ (also untrue for the vast majority of applications)

I wonder what are the applications for which that statement is true. So far I've found nothing apart from obscure/proprietary architectures for which Rust doesn't have a compiler (and that's not a problem of the language itself)
I've been working in the produce department at a grocery store for a few years, and the rule we're told is to remove items a day before their best-before date (or if it looks expired or unsellable), which then get packed and sent to the food bank (even though IMO 80-90% of it is kinda inedible).

Other stores (even from the same company as mine) might instead have a compost heap and throw all old produce there and/or give a discount to those items.

Best-before dates are crucial for us since we need them to figure out how long a product has been sitting on the shelf (especially the items that can sit on the shelf for months) and especially for keeping the warehouse organized as we can days of orders stockpiled with 3+ different best-before dates, and it's important to always put out the oldest product otherwise the whole box can go bad.

Also, as a fun fact, since there are thousands of items, old bad produce can be often be missed. One time I found some prunes that had been past their best-before date for nearly a year.

Also, I've regularly witnessed items that go bad basically right as we get them (maybe 5 or so days before their best-before date) while other items can last a week or two after their best-before date just fine.

So yeah, for regular people, best-before dates are more like a suggestion that roughly tells you how old the item is and maybe the mean average time the item goes bad (depending on how it's regulated). If it's near the item is roughly near its best before, maybe just give it a close look and a sniff. If it looks and smells fine, it's probably fine.

People may disagree about the use of "derivative" as used in the article. May the bludgeoning-by-definition continue! Alas, if one day we tire of definitional-skull-splitting...

... for some given function, we can simply recognize the difference between: (a) the function definition; (b) properties of the function.

For the (calculus) derivative: (a) means "rate of change"; (b) means the usual derivative properties e.g. the product rule and chain rule

For the arithmetic derivative [1] (or number derivative): (a) means "1 for any prime; everything else calculated via the product rule" [2]; (b)
means the same as above

There are other examples of the above a/b split in mathematics. Finding examples is left as an exercise for the reader.

[1] https://oeis.org/wiki/Arithmetic_derivative

[2] Yes, the definition of (a) makes (b) obvious.

It’s a great article exploring the idea, but the premise and arguments leading to it are somewhat weak, imo. First, views aren’t “fragile”. I may be wrong here, but it feels like TA tries to squeeze that along with some abstract-ORM issues.

Second, “anti-pattern” is a very technical rating of this phenomenon. Business logic and its databases may contain data that may, may not, or can never be viewed as deletable, at the same time (and in the same table). Soft deletion isn’t a blanket rule. For example, you hard-delete generated records, cause they are a cached projection of higher level data. You may hard-delete drafts like you trash your notes, but you never hard-delete a signed contract/declaration.

Now we have 300+ people voting on features that are never tested on a real compiler, before being set in stone.

Would you prefer that only 30 people should be allowed to hold up the acceptance of half-baked proposals? How could lower participation in C++ language evolution and/or standardization possibly do anything to improve the rigor and field testing of proposals?

Compilers now are in different states of ISO C++ compliance, between ISO C++14 and ISO C++23.

And? MSVC didn’t even do two-phase name lookup correctly until 2017, a fundamental feature of C++, yet the non-conforming behavior was little more than a nuisance. It’s really no concern of mine that Clang/libc++ hasn’t completed pstl support for C++17 because I wouldn’t be using it anyway. It is concerning when implementations half-asses a feature to pencil whip their “compliance” with new C++ standards (particularly when it only takes one implementation to make a feature useless for portable code).

Several of those on paper features, deemed not quite right when implemented, and had to be redone between revisions, but naturally old ones kind of stay in, backwards compatibility.

The developers behind major C++ implementations are acutely aware of every wart and failure, more so than virtually any end user. If they could they would choose to test every proposal on multiple compilers, across thousands of projects, targeting as many platforms as possible. But the resources and expertise to do so simply aren’t there. At some point the committee must hope for the best, take a leap of faith, and commit to a decision. It’s admirable that the C++ committee chooses to prioritize the needs of end users over the interests of implementations.

All languages are hostile to cross language interop,…

Managed languages do it every day (Kotlin and Java). But yes, the situation is quite different for native languages. What’s different about C++ is that it’s a remarkably difficult language to wrangle. C bindings are almost trivial to write or generate, but C++ introduces a mountain of complexity and ambiguity.

There are dozens of projects which have incrementally rewritten C in Rust. But it’s practically impossible to do anything similar with C++.

…that is why everyone pretends to be C, or uses OS IPC.

No language wants to bear the cross of a stable ABI, much less an ossified ABI. A platform’s C implementation has already paid the price, everyone is welcome to freeload.

That said, nothing good is ever free and the poverty of C ABIs prove it. With hardly any exceptions, describing a type C ABI as “fragile” is an understatement at best.

As the article mentions, most people know how to tell the difference by sound but if you were to ask them they would say no, it's impossible.

That just makes me wonder how many other things there are that people subconsciously learns, without it ever becoming obviously noticeable for them?
We make a B2B application that's installed on-prem for a lot of customers.

We do hard deletes on most things, mainly due to legacy reasons, and almost every week we get a request to restore data that a user deleted but later realized they needed.

And quite often the user realizes this after a week or more, at which point the only option is for the user to ask their IT to restore the DB from backup so we can extract the data from there.

So adding soft deletes to the tables the users commonly do mistaken deletes from is something we're planning on doing.

I don't see the alternatives given in the article would work for us. For example few of our customers even have a data warehouse. Our current DB doesn't support temporal tables, though we are migrating to MSSQL which does, so that might be an option soon. Though unclear how well it works with 3-4 levels of child tables which would also need to be temporal, especially since we need to do hard deletes due to GDPR etc and we have customers who work 24/7 so regular downtime is not tolerated. And users will have active locks against these key tables, not sure how that'll work out with the schema changes needed for hard deletes.
Why aren’t you?! :P

As an enthusiastic amateur photographer I'm a big fan of log_2 scales. Photography is full of them, most settings follow it and photographers call them "stops". One stop more is twice the light. People don't even think about logarithmic scales but it's very easy to intuit what going up and down the log_2 scales will result in.

Good scale, I like it.

No.

The "no hair theorem" states that black holes preserve exactly three numbers: mass, charge, and angular momentum. Baryon number, lepton number (as you would see in antimatter) are not conserved, the information is lost.

And, no, antimatter does not have negative mass, in any of the three contexts (mass-energy equivalence, inertia, and gravitational).

Therefore, a black hole fed entirely by antimatter would be indistinguishable from a black hole fed entirely by the equivalent matter.

On the (figurative) day when microwave power transmission becomes normal, designing & building electronics so they are relatively immune (or can leech power if needed) will also become normal.

Every consumer, and every human being in society faces the "exploration-exploitation" dilemma [0] weekly or daily.
They've discovered a set of things they like and dislike, either through family, friends, circumstances, or marketing ploys in the past. Finding new things they like isn't easy. You need external influence. Without these you feel life is boring, repetitive, predictable, lacks texture or excitement.

As most honest people will tell (one recent example I've stumbled upon could be independent game developers) - you could have a great product, but sadly most people will not know about it or will be "too busy to try it", and will prefer sticking to their habits or past experiences.

How would you go about solving this issue in a reliable way, that's not prone to similar distortions and hijacking as advertising and public relations ?

Reading about animals adapting to human environments, always reminds me of this image:

https://xkcd.com/1338/

Which is truly depressing. Wild animals have no choice: it's either adapt to whatever little space remains for them, or go extinct.

Remember @ one time much of western Europe was covered in forests & other rough terrain. And in coastal areas: river deltas, wetlands & tidal zones. Animals like beavers must have been everywhere.

Then ~1600, humans cut most of those forests to make farmland, build houses, ships, bridges etc & heat their homes in winter. And hunted many animals to extinction (probably earlier, too).

Sadly there's no easy way to restore balance.

In France (and probably many other places), supermarkets have a shelf with "close to expiry date" produces. They slap a label on each with a new price at a certain discount, from -30 to -50%, and a new barcode over the original barcode.

I _love it_. As it's a rotating subset of what's in the shop, it gives me ideas on what to cook. I basically don't go in the other aisles anymore: I enter the shop, go straight straight to what I jokingly call "the rotten aisle" and make a menu for the next 3 to 5 days from what's available. Which means that yes, I'm often eating stuff a couple days past their official date, whatever.

It's made inflation bearable for me, the flip side being that I'm now unable to buy food anywhere else, the price shock is just too much, I'm like "no way I'm paying that for food" ^^".
