There are more an less risky behaviors. This is really well explored space in C++. Just using value semantics, shared_ptr, and RAII instead of naked news and reckless mallocs would improve several "old" codebase I have worked in. Maybe people shouldn't be reaching for const_cast so often, and similar. In some new languages some corner case may be unexplored.

If you are fortunate enough for your domain to have good IO libraries then there is a chance you can do everything the "Modern" way avoid a lot of the headache and avoid most of the footguns entirely. That maturity and omni-pattern availability is potent, but all that power does come with the possibility of mistakes or surprises.

Compare to newer languages where we don't know what might break or might need to do something the language omits as part of its paradigm. I have done a ton of Ruby projects and about half the time we need more performance so I need to bust out C to rewrite a hotspot in a performance sensitive way. Or sometimes you just really want a loop not a functional stream enumerator like is the default in Ruby. For a new language, Theo tried the 1 billion row challenge in Gleam and the underlying file IO was so slow the language implementers had to step in.

This is an engineering and a business choice. There are reasons to avoid C++ and footguns, like any risk, are among them. These aren't risks without mitigation, but that mitigation has a cost. Just like newer languages have reasons not to use them. A team needs to pick the tools with risks and other cons they can handle and the pros that help them solve their problem.

But practically speaking we usually do. I always hear people refer to events in their life happening “when I was 26” and never “in the 27th year of my life”. Sure you could say the latter, but practically speaking people don’t (at least in English).
Same. it was always a nightmare. hated the way everything needed to be literally scheduled down to the very day. prescribers would get shit wrong all the time, there would inevitably days without. I was using an online service at one point (done, the worst of the worst) and they just straight up ignored my pleas for help for 3 solid weeks. when they finally came back and said sorry we fucked up I had basically decided to just quit, and quitting cold turkey is never fun. After years of being on/off I decided to say fuck this for once and for all and will never touch them again. Until they are available in vending machines - which I firmly believe is how they should be available.

People cry about the comparison to "legal meth" but that is literally what it is. There is no difference. Your dealer is replaced by a licensed psychyatrist but at the end of the day they are just a dealer with a nice office and a certificate from a university.

I have an alternative, more generous explanation of your 2nd point - the people you talk about haven't done much reflection about consciousness yet and are so immersed in it that they cannot separate their own conscious experience as an entity to talk about. Like fish and water. Just like you said - it was also your position when you were younger. The people you label as having a different interior experience might be in the same position as your younger self.
I did a similar thing when I was in the market for a new house.

You have to distinguish between intelligence and knowledge/experience.

Nobody knows everything or has experienced everything, but we do have "general intelligence", which is the ability to reason over whatever we DO know and HAVE experienced in order to make successful plans/predictions around it and actually use this knowledge rather than merely recall it.

Of course some people are more intelligent than others, but nonetheless our brain reflects the nature of our species as generalists who can apply our intelligence to a wide/unlimited number of areas.

There are at least two things fundamentally missing from LLMs that disqualify it from deserving of the AGI label.

1) LLMs have extremely limited ability to plan and reason, even over the fixed knowledge (training set) that they have. This is a limitation of the simplistic transformer neural network architecture they are based on, which is just a one-way conveyor belt of processing steps (transformer layers) from input to output. No looping/iteration, working memory, etc - they just don't have the machinery to be able to reason/plan in an open ended way.

2) LLMs can't learn. They are pre-trained and just have a fixed set of knowledge and processing templates. Perhaps we should regard them as having a limited type of intelligence ("crystalized intelligence") over what they do know, but it can't be described as general intelligence when it excludes novel reasoning/planning ("fluid intelligence"), as well as the ability to learn anything new.

We will eventually design human-like "general" intelligence (there's no magic about it that prevents us from doing it), so LLMs are not as good as it gets, but LLMs (and upcoming enhanced LLMs) may be as good as it gets for a while - AGI may well require a brand new architecture based around the ability to learn continuously. This isn't going to happen in next 5-10 years.

It's "Two Factor Authentication", not "Second Factor On A Single Device You Always Have On Your Person Authentication".

That second factor needs to be separate from the originating authenticating service, not that it has to be on a single device hidden away kept in a safe, or on your wrist, or in your pocket. It could be a single device [a server] running bitwarden and you're viewing it through a browser on your <whatever>.

Not everyone wants to follow every single recommendation from a data security perspective, and it becomes an anti-pattern when laymen start using workarounds to not have to comply with the safety recommendation of the week.
At this point a footgun can stand alone in this industry as a term with its own meaning outside of analogy.

It depends on the prescribing doctor. When I’d get meds from my general practitioner (who was associated with a big hospital chain, i.e. more CYA red tape), there were all kinds of hoops. No teladoc, in-office only, hard copy prescription only, urine tests and subsequent interrogation, etc.

I had a psychiatrist start managing it, and it’s a breeze, a 5-minute video appointment every 3 months, sent electronically.
At that point this is simply power tripping.
I went this route because I'm a software engineer that mostly works with Javascript and needed it fast. No framework but bounced a lot of the problems off of Chat GPT to help me figure out how to get it done.

I'm certainly no climate expert but I'm quite sure that this would be a very large change to happen in such a short time. This seems to be a rather dubious claim.

Great job! And congrats on actually getting something out there. I can really see this being useful for some organizations.

I also envisioned this same type of tool around 10 years ago and it is still on my ever growing list of ideas to implement. I took the idea further to support not only SQL but other languages such as HTML, JavaScript, Python, C#, etc. You could then support returning different types of media based on the URL extension such as .html to return a webpage, .json to return a JSON API, .csv to return a CSV file, etc. As time marched on, many of these same ideas came to fruition in things like AWS Lambda, Jupiter Notebooks, Microsoft Monaco Editor, etc.

There’s no “easy way” to talk about any topic that is part of the upbringing of 99% of the population, people don’t want to have their blindfold removed just to see what they’ve part of and have to take action. Most people know about factory farming just want to forget about it for the next trip to the grocery store.

Shallow and composable is something we all experience when using UNIX tooling.

The quote above talks exclusively of instruction cache misses. In case you are really interested, the two kinds are related as L2 and L3 caches are shared my instructions and data.

In terms of the execution profile, the kernel is very close to a typical WSC application. I.e. very flat without hotspots. The size of L1 I$ is 32KB, hence your application doesn't have to have 100s of megabytes of code to benefit from layout optimizations.

I've actually been through multiple evacuations before, and practically every mile of energy in our vehicles counted. One time one of our cars literally ran out gas rolling into the first gas station with fuel after leaving with a full tank. When major storms are coming my cars stay topped off and don't get touched except for very purposeful reasons.

And given the fact it might be harder to find a working and available charger while leaving in an emergency I wouldn't want to rely on finding one along the way to wherever I'm going.

The author is wrong here. The correct way (at least in spoken West Coast American English) is the Twenty-aughts. There is even a Wikipedia page dedicated to the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aughts If you want to be fancy you could spell it like the 20-aughts. I suppose there is no spelling it with only digits+s though, which maybe what the author was looking for.
The whole concept sounds a bit wooish, and the Wiki article doesn't read like you'd expect it from a description of "real, casual, and critical" concept in medicine.

I think this might be premature if you're trying to apply this to how the world makes money with software. There's too much of the economy that depends on adding another abstraction layer to make money, so you'd need to rewire that as well unless we just want to break things. You'd eventually have to tell a business "no" because they're +1 abstraction layer above the limit.

I think most of us realize that working at corporate is still a necessary evil as long as we need to pay for stuff. Frankly that sector can burn because they've been taking advantage of developers. Most of the money goes to people above you, performance bonuses are not the norm, etc. We shouldn't be actively trying to give them improvements for free because of this behavior. Let them follow the hobby/passion projects and learn these practices and limits on their own.

I had the experience of going through 14 rounds of interviews (excluding the HR calls), where the manager and the team liked me. And then had a 15th interview with a “cross functional stakeholder” where the interviewer was super busy and couldn’t schedule an interview for a while, eventually scheduled a 30 min “conversation” where she asked domain specific business questions that you wouldn’t know answers to if you didn’t work in that company and then rejected me for not “getting the right signals”. Never mind the 15 approvals from the interviews prior and the fact that this was a generic software engineering role. This is a company that prior to the interviews said “we value everyone’s time, so if at any point we feel it is not a right fit, we’ll cut the interviews short, even if more are scheduled for the day”. They also apparently schedule the interviews in the increasing order of seniority of the interviewers because they want to ensure they save company time by cutting interviews short and not having the senior interviewers interview candidates that are not a great fit.
