""fundamental Constitutional rights of individuals vs. the states’ right to regulate health, welfare, and morality are of course not “the same argument.” This is probably why they are dealt with in distinct amendments.""

I probably need it spelled out, since to me your sentence is directly showing how they are they same argument.

If the 'state' as in states rights, wants to limit my 'health and welfare' say by limiting my health insurance and giving everyone guns, then that does also infringe on my individual rights. I'm placed in a situation of not being in a safe area with access to resources to live a healthy life. And yes, in todays world that is a 'States' right, and everyone can move. But you can't say those are separate.

If a 'State' wants to cause harm to it's own citizens, then that becomes then a conflict between the "State" and the "Central" government, who must also insure everyone has some equal measure of safety and welfare.

You're forgetting that some peoples 'morality' causes harm to others. Which can then bring into conflict the state and the central gov. Like when in Ameristan the 'state' gov starts persecuting people, maybe even disenfranchising the ability to vote at all, then the Central gov has to step in. Now there is Central-Local-Individual conflict.

You're holding out on responding constructively until someone on the Swift team responds?

Better to just avoid boorishness, or find another way to word your invitation to the people who you will accept discussion from.

I wouldn't go out of my way to engage in the comments section with someone who calls me stupid repeatedly, based on an imagined analysis of my thought process being that of a small child, then refuses to engage with any discussion that doesn't start with yes, my team was stupid, we did actively choose awful error messages and really bad compile times for pretty syntax.
Yes, that's terrible mistake from the QA test lead

Chances are higher that those hours won't feel like "work" though.
There's talk here about the over-abstraction of what should be a simple problem.

Usually when this happens, people are dismissing a toy example, (and they can make the toy even simpler.) I think that is the case here.

String-concatenation in a word game is not worth this abstraction overhead. But I think it's supposed to teach people not to be afraid of usingLongFunctionNamesToTellAStory().

It would probably work better on code like:

..
// Otherwise we gotta make a sibling now
if ( newNode (&siblingId, a) == NEWNODE_FAIL ) {
return ADD_FAIL;
}
Node *sibling = getNode (a, siblingId);

// And a new place for it to point
NodeIdx destId = 0U;
if ( newNode (&destId, a) == NEWNODE_FAIL ) {
return ADD_FAIL;
}
..

could take on more of a style like:

if (needSiblingNode()) {
return ADD_FAIL;
}
..

The law will prohibit the providers of Apple's iOS and Google's Android smartphone operating systems, app stores and payment platforms from preventing the sale of apps and services that directly compete with the native platforms' own.

I'm not sure what this means -- does this just mean that Apple can't prevent a third party from selling an app that does something an Apple app does, or does it mean they have to allow third party app stores? Or is it more about opening the payment platform so an app can take direct payments instead of having to go through Apple?

Background: I work in technical diligence and talk to a lot of companies just before they do exits to PE firms (i.e., usually the first big cash-in). One of the things I see over and over again is just how much great people matter. Not only do they matter for getting you there, but they matter for how much you get when you get there. Our work is used at the negotiation table: piles of tech debt and stuff that needs to be seriously fixed up comes off the top... a "hair-cut" as they put it. Your pile of tech debt and ignored security issues and so on could be millions off the deal.

So... I agree with this writer that it there is likely more value to early founders than they think in doing that which motivates star-level early employees to join and stay.
Pity Google, Microsoft, Meta didn't have the foresight to name their companies in preparation for the AI boom. Adobe, Autodesk, Alibaba, and AirBnB are looking pretty smart.

I suppose this might explain the Google -> Alphabet thing but they haven't really embraced the new corporate name enough for "Alphabet Intelligence" to make any sense.
> I'm just going by the article linked here,

I think you must've misread something then. The article doesn't say the lawyer attended the conference.

The ex-parte meeting took place in the morning _before_ the YouTube video. The YouTube video covers the proceedings which occur in open court, which is what the article is a summary of.

I've read a fair amount about this at this point, and I'm 100% confident that the lawyer that was briefly arrested did not at any point in time attend the ex-parte meeting.

The only confrontation that took place was in the court room, in open court, as shown in the YouTube livestream linked above.
> each color of light travels at a different speed?

That is indeed correct when light is not traveling through a vacuum. Refraction occurs because of a change in velocity between mediums, and the refractive index is wavelength-dependant (dispersive) in many mediums.

This is really important context. As is the relatively small amount of money paid.

It’s also strongly analogous to an issue faced in tech: whether to pay the demands or ransomware gangs.

For some historical referrence, there was a court decision in 1948 stopping the movie studios from owning the theater chains too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pic....
I worked in a movie theater in the early 2000s and the studios/distributors had theaters by the throat anyway. Disney for example could demand any terms they wanted for allowing for example star wars and theaters bid against each other regionally for an artificially limited number of 'prints' (today they're hard drives) and could insist on 100% of the take, a % of concession sales, pretty brutal terms. I don't know what the industry is like in the last 15 years.
Disney has owned the El Capitan in hollywood for years, though. Not sure how that was allowed as an exception if the rule was only recinded in 2020. Maybe just chains.
But this isn't any better on Windows, is it? Even though it's far from volunteer-ware and probably has great UX people working on it, it still has issues with inconsistencies and bad UX. I think there are still at least 3 generations of the control panel buried in current Windows versions...

The expected value of startup equity is far, far, far below a casino. The ON bet at a craps table is 50% odds. Less than 1% of startups survive.

You might as well go to the casino. You will save years of sweat, heartache, and stress-induced mental decline.

Instead at a casino you get to blow your money quickly, enjoy fun, free drinks, and still have the upside potential to become super rich if you are in the 0.000001 luck percentile.
In general, I wouldn't want to pass off that level of control. Maybe if I'm really busy and an assistant knew me really well... And there are certainly sometimes heavily scheduled trips where your "handlers" pretty much just tell you where to be and when.

But, especially if it's my money on a trip I want at least some "me" time, I probably want to take at least a cursory look at flight and hotel options and lots of other details.
This is a great comment, you clearly know what you're talking about and I learned a lot.

I wanted to push back on this a bit:

> The "Objective-C problems" they fixed were things that made Objective-C annoying to optimize, not annoying to write (except if you are a big hater of square brackets I suppose).

From an outsider's perspective, this was the point of Swift: Objective C was and is hard to optimize. Optimal code means programs which do more and drain your battery less. That was Swift's pitch: the old Apple inherited Objective C from NExT, and built the Mac around it, back when a Mac was plugged into the wall and burning 500 watts to browse the Internet. The new Apple's priority was a language which wasn't such a hog, for computers that fit in your pocket.

Do you think it would have been possible to keep the good dynamic Smalltalk parts of Objective C, and also make a language which is more efficient? For that matter, do you think that Swift even succeeded in being that more efficient language?

I read the article, and I'm not sure if this opens up alternative ways to download apps in Japan or if just ensures that apps competing with the platform owner are not to be downranked or handicapped.
Space Alert is silly and fun and cooperative. Everyone also is forced to mention Galaxy Trucker as it’s also silly and fun, but the real time nature is quite isolated, and I prefer interactive games. Trading games like Chinatown and Sidereal Confluence often have real time phases for deal-making, of those two Sidereal is the better game by far but Chinatown is the one you’ll actually play. Finally no real time board game list is complete without Captain Sonar, a hyper-competitive 4v4 game of submarine warfare.

If you consider simultaneous turns as a restrained form of real time, then ‘tabletop moba’ Guards of Atlantis 2 is really quite good.
Update:

All my installations including all "condas" known to me return

I just tried to unpack and install the same `text-generation-webui-main` that I installed yesterday and it started to download 2.5gb torch at 12mb/s eta 0:03:07. I made screenshots for those who will claim it's not true. There was also a full ready-to-use in advance 2.5gb file in pip\cache\http\...\...\...\{hashfilename}, which is very fun to navigate to btw. I interrupted the download and activated this new environment:

[prompt] cd text-generation-webui-main

[prompt] pip cache dir
c:\users\user\appdata\local\pip\cache

I have no idea how they do that.

It fascinates me how people can turn "Musk has a toxic personality" into "Musk can only be the money man, must be stupid, and cannot have any technical skills." As if the tech industry hasn't already had a proud tradition of brilliant asshole CEOs named Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg, and Ellison just to name a few.

Being an asshole isn't required for success, but it unfortunately also doesn't necessarily inhibit it either.
Frequency is constant, wavelength changes and so does velocity, from wikipedia refractive index

> The refractive index, n, can be seen as the factor by which the speed and the wavelength of the radiation are reduced with respect to their vacuum values: the speed of light in a medium is v = c/n, and similarly the wavelength in that medium is λ = λ0/n, where λ0 is the wavelength of that light in vacuum. This implies that vacuum has a refractive index of 1, and assumes that the frequency (f = v/λ) of the wave is not affected by the refractive index.
I am pessimistic about AI. The technology is definitely useful, but I watched a video that made good points.

* On benchmark style tests, LLMs are not improving. GPT-4o is equivalent to GPT-4 and both barely improve on GPT-3.5T.
* AI companies have been caught outright lying in demos and manipulating outcomes by pre-training for certain scenarios.
* The main features added to GPT-4o have been features that manipulate humans with dark patterns
* The dark patterns include emotional affects in tone and cute/quirky responses
* These dark patterns encourage people to think of LLMs as humans that have a similar processing of the universe.

I seriously wonder about the transcript that these guys had with the LLM. Were they suggesting things? Did ChatGPT just reconfigure words that helped them think through the problem? I think the truth is that ChatGPT is a very effective rubber duck debugger.

You're saying joining a startup is going to result in success?

Talk about detached from reality.

A 30k job at a local dev shop in Poland is going to reward you more than most startups in the US.
Founding engineers are so underpaid relative to founders. I’ve seen it be founding CTO with 40% and founding engineer with 1%. It’s ridiculous and we should not accept it as the standard.

A few good early hires can be just as valuable as good founders.
I don’t judge the quality of the work based on the weather the creator was a “good person”, but rather that there’s a person at all
I see. Here, the first stage is seed, which is around the level of YC and then Series A, which is around the level of getting money from YC's Demo Day investors.

We also see pre-seed, where the goal is to get into an accelerator. It's like $2000 for 3%. Enough for a domain name, a laptop, a babysitter, something that gives you the space to do a proof of concept, but not a full MVP.

Here where VC funding is dry, we also have some stage between seed and Series A, where the startup raises from friends, angels, crowdfunding. It's not really given a name because it's a signal that the company has already burned through seed and yet hasn't done enough to raise Series A from proper "professionals".

But here, by the time you've raised Series A, you're expected to be #1 in a market - best language app, best tax app, etc. And Series A is just to prove it works in other markets. Worst case I've seen was a guy raising US$500k seed (not Series A), but they had to prove they could be #1 in five countries.

US is a market of 300M people and even top companies like Amazon don't have to go far, but many countries have both low population and low spending, and investment is still US-centric.
Yeah they should have kept the website in its original 15th century markup.
It doesn't take you 3.
At this point, it is clear that your approaching is bad-faith. Let me tell you why - it is because you are relying on your managers to tell you how someone is performing.

This leads to a weird situation - one wherein as soon as a manager, reporting to you,faces pressure, they use the PIP to find an escape hatch. They start creating narratives about how some failure is because of an engineer individual - and not because of poor structures, poor communication by the manager, or generally management losing track of what makes a project succeed. An example of this is merely managers who PIP people for something sliding by 2 days but reality is that those 2 days don't matter to the business - it is a mediocre system that is penalizing an individual for those 2 days - just because.

The fact that you've had to PIP over 20 people - say at a rate of 1 person per year - it is a massive signal that your structures are dysfunctional. Either you are hiring absolute dumbasses or there is something wrong about your system that causes Pippable behaviors.

Look inwards. You'll go further in life.
> The reason this causes issues with the type checker is it has to consider all the possible combinations of the `+` operator against all the possible types that can be represented by an inferred integer literal.

Can you please go back and read what I wrote and come up with any plausible alternative explanation for why I wrote the code that I wrote, if not to overload the HM with too many possible types to infer.

> If any of the types in the expression had an explicit type then it would be type checked basically instantly.

Did you try this?

> Its the fact that none of the values in the expression have explicit types that is causing the type checker to consider so many different combinations.

That's what I wrote in my first version. No explicit types. Then I got some comment about it needing to be an Int.

> That combination produces 59k+ permutations without even looking at non-standard library types.

Mine should reject 26439622160640 invalid typings to land on one of 31 possible well-typed readings of this program. (31 ^ 9) - 31.
Neither. I think he's just angry and acting like a petulant child.
"just read the docs" is a fully general counter argument that can be used to justify arbitrary bad design decisions

I think Python 3 did the right thing by having 1/3 equal 0.333 (a float) rather than 0. It's more intuitive for the / operator to always do standard division and when you want integer division then you use the // operator instead. It's more consistent than having / return a completely different result depending on whether one of the operand happens to be 3 instead of 3.0
My take (using switch expressions)

private String generateGuessSentence(char candidate, int count) {
return switch(count){
case 0 -> "There are no " + candidate +"s";
case 1 -> "There is one " + candidate;
default -> "There are " + count + " " + candidate + "s";
};
}

And it would look even better with string templates...hopefully soon!

> this might have worked were it not for the fact that one of the steel rods in the balloon rigging was 91 centimeters long. US Air Force engineers didn’t realize it at the time, but 91 centimeters happened to correspond to one of the frequencies used by Soviet early-warning radar. This caused the otherwise inconsequential rod to resonate and glint like a mirror on Soviet radar screens.

This is fascinating. I wonder how unlucky they got - what the tolerance on something like this is, presumably 91.1 cm would still resonate but 96 cm would not?

Also, if a possible failure mode is "if any of the rods in the construction of this stealth device exactly matches the enemy's secret number, the mission will be detected" that seems like it would lead to some very fun design constraints. Are there any examples of designers taking this into account and building a device with every component the same size?
