I def have more experience with the compile time and it's big issue is how long it can take, but I think it can be overblown on the cost too. However, one can often mitigate this with good code separation and firewalling. The compile time methods will never(probably) be faster than generated code in the C++ compiler. But, a TU with a simple function like `Config parse_config( std::string_view json_doc );` can protect the other code and reduce the general compile time when working on the real code. I think both have their debugging issue with codegen being difficult to tie to the source and the compile time parts relying on the limited error facilities available currently. The proposed p2471 - https://wg21.link/p2471 should help with this a lot and allow for non-literal static_assert messages.

One place I have used the compile time, since JSON Link uses declarative mappings and is type based, is allowing for automatic (de)serialization of function calls over RPC/IPC. This makes things like communicating with web engines really neat, or doing serialized RPC calls over some other mechanism. Code like `server.register( "path", [] ( int x, Foo foo ) { ... } );` is working now in C++, and that's really neat and closely analogues some of the higher level API's in other languages.

>the retail areas put many American airports to shame.

That's a very, very low bar. The retail areas in American airports are universally horrible, because they're all so ridiculously overpriced. I'm not sure whether it's some special airport tax or what, but the prices for anything inside an American airport are always horribly inflated compared to the exact same thing outside the airport. The only reason people eat anything there is because they're hungry and have no other choices.

By contrast, here in Japan, the shops and restaurants inside stations and airports are all competitively priced. Going to a restaurant in the train station is perfectly normal, and you're not going to get a better price just by leaving the station.

That reminded me of the scandal where Flint, Michigan officials told people to run the tap before testing it, greatly downplaying the problem.

sigh it wasn't motivated by a wacky sense of humor, or by any sadistic tendencies.

And we didn't ask dick C++ questions either. After somebody has told you they are only a 3 or a 4 out of 10 in C++, you don't have to ding them if they don't know your favorite language feature, or the latest cool thing.

I've been dinged in several interviews because I didn't happen to know the 20% subset of C++ which that particular group used. Every group only uses about 20% of C++, and every group has a different subset. I think it's highly unfair to expect anybody to be a 10 out of 10 in C++.

I would much rather be in an interview where the interview valued my ability to accurately determine my limitations, than if somebody asked me some esoteric, trick c++ question, and then concluded that I didn't know C++.

It isn't, though? Unlike the other packaging formats, it actually works across distros and independent of system setups, so if you choose it, you aren't limited to a specific distro or group of distros like the other packaging formats. Therefore, if you choose it, you don't have to deal with any further fragmentation of the Linux desktop. So yes, while you are "technically" correct, which is the best kind of correct, you're practically speaking quite wrong. It may technically be just another packaging format, but unlike the other ones, it completely removes the need to worry about fragmentation entirely if you adopt it, whereas if you use a bass script, various system configurations will conflict with it, and if you use a discropackage, then you'll keep helping to make new packages for various discros.

Hum, 4-5 you'd think would be young enough. So I wonder what could cause such a cultural shift. I'd be interested to know whether the parents of those scared kids could swim (if they couldn't then that could be the problem).

I've not thought about it before because over here one just assumes someone can swim (with the caveat/possible exception of some tourists and migrants).

You'd think the first step in solving the problem would be to figure out why kids here take easily to water and the ones your way less so. Perhaps the answer is known and I've just not heard about it.
I can appreciate supporting the effort, but the "stickiness" of Amazon affiliate links seem pretty pernicious. I briefly tried to find a source for this and failed, but my understanding is that the affiliate can see any product purchased while the affiliation through the link is active, which is something like a 24 hour timeout or another link for a different affiliate is used. Maybe my perspective is out of date, if so my apologies, but that seems like a net negative contribution to personal privacy of viewers.

> Cullen White, AnitaB.org’s chief impact officer, said in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, that some registrants had lied about their gender identity when signing up, and men were now taking up space and time with recruiters that should go to women. “All of those are limited resources to which you have no right,” White said. AnitaB.org did not respond to a request for comment.

Someone ought to fill Cullen in on employment laws in the US. Men have equal right to those resources as women. Anything less is illegal discrimination.
The number one thing about the US is the sheer hope and belief in the future. Europe, maybe apart from France, surprisingly, is depressing and nobody thinks the future is bright.

The NYTBR has been a target for decades.

Elizabeth Hardwick wrote "The Decline of Book Reviewing" in Harpers in 1959, and then went on to co-found the NYRB with Robert Silver during a big publishing strike.

In general, stuff like this is insanely inside baseball and navel gazing for the book review industry (of which little remains of the old glory days).

That said, I don't know anyone into literature who takes the NYTBR seriously. That the Best Seller list is a gamified black box is basically an open secret. The NYTBR, in particular, has become far too interconnected into the MFA-publishing-literature industrial complex. The reviews are so bland and milquetoasty because so much MFA-lit is bland as all hell and the reviews are just marketing.

The NYRB and the LRB are orders of magnitude better reading than the NYTBR, even if this article seems to criticize them (unfoundedly, in my opinion) as fuddy or old fashioned. They're not traditional "reviews" in the sense that they usually don't come around to saying whether a book is good or bad, though; they're essays that use the books reviewed as launch vehicles for pushing the ideas in them into new directions or put under a new light. The NYTBR, in contrast, often reads as ad copy or toothless summary (the latter being the plague that has infected nearly all film criticism as well).

There has also been a big resurgence in smaller mags, like N+1 (now an elder statesmen of the new upstarts), The Drift, The European Review of Books (heavy focus on translation), and many others that have excellent, lively, criticism. Also subreddits like r/truelit are a great way to expose yourself to new or interesting books. I usually find a book to add to my TBR list once or twice a week. Is the writing always up to par with professional publications? Not always, but sometimes it honestly is. (r/truelit does have a strong slant towards formal experimentation, though, which some people aren't a fan of. People more interested in "the classics" or contemporary-lit can find great recs still in r/literature.)
Hey! Nate from Zed here - have you had issues with proportional fonts in Zed?

Sorry, I didn't mean upcoming books, just the media discussed in the episode. Like the ones I mentioned adding to my watch/reading lists. It would have made finding them a little easier is all and could serve as value to the description since it's certainly the case that they were discussed in the video! :)
This is why Agile/Standups make people go crazy! The daily standup makes sense when all the topics discussed will close out within hours, blockers sometimes stand literally upstream on the assembly line, and no one can really talk to each other outside of the standup because they’re too busy running manufacturing work centers that need 100% of their constant attention.

Imagine if compiling/deploying involved teams on the daily hand writing assembly/machine code from code base?

> Since somewhere some computation must be done to recognize this

Humans don't have a "compute intersections" ability (other than a few who have learned it laboriously through algebra), we have a "see things and count them" mechanism. We aren't visually taking lines in a planar space and determining where they cross. We know what an intersection looks like, we see one, increment a counter, and find the next one. If it's less than around five, we do this all at once. Otherwise we literally count, sometimes in small groups, sometimes one at a time.

I was reading through the Synapse bankruptcy court filings, and oh jeez, is this a mess:

> Synapse often used multiple Partner Banks to service different functions for the same Fintech Partner. In certain instances, end user deposits through a Fintech Partner were deposited in an account at one Partner Bank, while end user withdrawals through that same Fintech Partner were processed from a different account at a different Partner Bank. This business model makes it both essential and difficult to reconcile transactions and ensure end users receive access to the correct amount of funds due to each end user.

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68458190/synapse-financ...

This fintech product model, with multiple intermediaries and service providers between end users and the depository banks, is a house of cards. Is running your bank-like financial services product as an actual bank that hard? These technology companies seem to want all the upsides of being a bank, with none of the responsibilities.

From my perspective, the big gap is that these depository banks aren't maintaining the customer and transaction data for the beneficial owners of the money they have on deposit. They seem like they should be the ones ultimately responsible for safeguarding the customer's funds. In the middle of this, the Federal Reserve dropped this gem about KYC non-compliance for one of the banks involved, swearing that it has nothing to do with the Synapse bankruptcy.

That's specifically not a valid (or legal) reason to speed (in the US at least) because driving recklessly in an emergency is a great way to create two emergencies. Emergency vehicles exist because of this fact; they get sirens, visible markings, right of way, and professional drivers, all to help ensure that cases where the speed limit is overridden are done so as safely as possible for all parties. None of this is true about your consumer car; people don't know to get out of your way, and may not be aware how fast you're actually approaching. Moreover, you are not a professional driver (and if you happen to be then pretend you're someone else). Driving at like 80MPH under a highly novel and stressful situation is TBH probably beyond your capabilities to do safely unless you're operating on like a straight road with no other drivers. An overwhelming majority of the time you're going to be better served calling an ambulance in this case, and I think pretty much any emergency professional will agree with me. At the very least the people who make money by reducing car accidents do: https://www.progressive.com/lifelanes/on-the-road/speeding-i....
On the one hand, you could say it's a security issue, an installed Python package can make any module names importable, which would have surprising effects if say, it overwrote stuff like aiohttp or your postgres client or whatever.

On the other hand, you know, it's already source code, it can do whatever it wants...
> Looking at Quicklisp's package manager, it looks like the packages are updated on at least a year's interval?

I think it used to be closer to monthly. It has slowed down a lot recently. I've seen talk on IRC about ideas on how to improve the bus factor for that situation.

Also, there are some alternatives to Quicklisp that exist, such as ocicl, which seems to be gaining in mindshare. I haven't used it personally (yet), but so far I've only seen positive feedback from people that have tried it.
This is cool, nice job

This scenario is the stuff of nightmares for me!

When you have 100k people paying $500 to the sky is the limit, failure is not an option. Increasingly audio engineers and subsequently performers are at the mercy of the latest jr developers who don’t have to live with the failures of their short sightedness. Grimes’ Coachella set case in point. Wholly due to pioneer ignoring their users for over a decade. Sometimes we don’t have 3 days to copy files to a usb drive but I digress.
Yeah, definitely not my area of expertise. We’ll need to explore it further and make sure there’s nothing sketchy before making a decision.
There could probably be a way to word the agreement to ensure the open part remains under the AGPL, such as one of the following:

- include in the terms of the CLA that Plausible will never change the license of any part currently licensed as AGPL to another license without the consent of all contributors, or make the CLA conditional on the code modified continuing to be available under the AGPL

- limit the license rights of Plausible to very specific uses which wouldn't allow relicensing the entire repo

- have the contributor agree to dual license their contribution with a license like the MPL to Plausible, which would allow combining with separate enterprise code, but wouldn't allow them to relicense the source files modified by the contributor. I think the GPL would also work for that, unless Plausible starts distibuting an enterprise self hosted version.
This looks pretty cool! I have yet to find something to pull me away from the Rest Client extension for VS code. I will give this a try and see how it shakes out but at a glance on my phone I am not seeing support for variables.

> its core readership is either the very wealthy or those who aspire to be so

These things are all true, but I don't think it's entirely fair to blame the NYT book review section for the trends. Its main function is to provide blurbs for the book's Amazon page. The shallowness of our cultural discourse created that section, not the other way around.
As I understand it, NASA basically was forced down that path, by the military. The military wanted a spacecraft that could take secret spy satellites to orbit, and also be able to retrieve them and bring them intact back to Earth. That forced the Shuttle design.

In both cases, it depends how you set the goalposts. If you define the Year of the Linux Desktop as the year when a not-super-technical person could install a Linux distro and daily drive it via GUI, I think Ubuntu cleared the mark >15 years ago. If you define it as Linux having more desktop users than NT, it may never happen. If you say the mark for RISC-V is being used more than x86 then it's at best a long ways out. If you set the mark as being perfectly good for uses that replace microcontrollers (say, things well-served by ARM's smaller chips) then it's been there for a while.
The website barely works for me on my phone anymore. Just spinners whenever I try to open anything or load more content.
In most cases the published articles is document that has some additional metadata added during the publishing process. Hence, there's an inherent disconnect between the article and the metadata that must be examined for accuracy and truth.

Instead, the published article should really be a view of the structured data, metadata, and text (i.e. the true content) that makes up the article. Formatting and such can be a pain, but using this approach would mean the published article is a view of the truth rather than the metadata being created as something of an afterthought.
> The users don't care. They want to have a mouse experience that just works.

I do agree with this and share your pain, even though to me it's never been that bad. But you're right, it's a big blame game between linux, distros, gnome, wayland, etc, and the result is fragmentation. And a ton of users are left in the middle when mom and dad are fighting violently over age-old issues like dynamic linking and which window manager is the best. The fact that linux has a much more narrow scope than commercial OSs has some significant downsides.

Ironically, I get the sense that Torvalds agrees with this, it's just that he can't afford to increase the scope outside of the kernel, which is already a super-human effort. I got the sense he wishes everyone else can iron out their differences, while he (correctly, probably) assumes it's wiser tend to his garden than to get involved in other battles.
I think the key word above was modern. I felt able to design a simple CPU when I finished my Computer Architecture course in university. I think I forgot most of it by now ;) There are a few basic concepts to wrap your head around but once you have them a simple CPU is doable. Doing this with TTL or other off the shelf components is mostly minimizing/adapting/optimizing to those components (or using a lot of chips ;) ). I have never looked at discrete component CPU designs, I imagine ROM and RAM chips play a dominant part (e.g. you don't just built RAM with 74x TTL flip-flops).

It's conjecture as far as what's actually driving this trend, though. Some posit that STEM is "nerdy" in Western countries but not in Asia and the Middle East. Others speculate that gender-egalitarian countries tend to be wealthier, and the disparity in living standards between STEM and non-STEM professions are lower. Basically there's equal interests, but practical necessity is pushing more women into STEM. But both of these are just speculation based on the observed negative correlation between gender-egalitarianism and STEM representation.
Years ago he was a guest lecturer for a class I was taking from Scott Bradner - as you said, incredibly nice an approachable guy. I could have listened to him for another hour or two.
A big ball of mud is never what's needed. It's just what happens when too many people have cared too little for too long.
