In Idris you get to choose how strict you want to make your types. E.g. you can choose to use "Vect n a" if you want a vector a's where the size is tracked by the type system. Or you can use e.g. "List a" if you want a list of a's where the size is not tracked by the type system.

Of course the problem comes when you have to interface some code which expects a "Vect n a" and you have a "List a", but that's solvable by simply checking the size (dynamically) and deciding what to do if your "List a" isn't of size exactly n. (Fail, or whatever.). Going from "Vect n a" to a "List a" is trivial, of course.

... but really, that's where most of the friction is: Boundaries between APIs where the types don't quite line up. (Which is often the case for other languages, tbf. We tend to just notice less at compile time since most languages are so bad at expressing constraints.)
Differences in foundational understanding & unteachability of foundational research causes inevitably ton of confusion in texts on formal science ideas outside a known academic context.

This text should not fascinate a programmer but create frustration of two types:
(1) Frustration on one's lack of small pieces knowledge
(2) Frustration that NOW you will not have the chance to invent this on your ow; your creative process takes damage.

Out of which the second type should be the one that makes majority of cases.

ALSO this should cause one to have respect of form: "hey, this programmer was probably at least smart enough to figure out this alone."

Perhaps most polite woule be to, for every text, in the situation to have notice at beginning: "For programmers who already have thought about what would happen were you to add X to Y but so that Z enough to probably not to get new ideas in this context."

> Plenty of data on other companies offers there

Plenty of companies offer that kind of compensation, but the competition is intense as the number of roles paying that much are limited, and WLB is atrocious as it's basically a Architect/Team Lead role.

If anyone thinks they deserve a L6/L7 role with less than a decade of experience at peer companies they need to adjust their expectations or remain unemployed

Remote management.

The CPU/chipset has an integrated keyboard/video/mouse (via VNC), serial console, power control (on/off) and some settings exposed via this webserver over some kind of XMLRPC.

It is activated either by configuring it locally through the BIOS or some special key combination at boot, or when connecting to a network that has a setup server with a special certificate (not really a security feature, just a money grab) present. Some vendors might also ship it always-on. Network can be either wired or WiFi, not sure about mobile networks.

The threat is extreme, hidden remote access, several known vulnerabilities in the past in e.g. the broken XML parser, activation and takeover via brief physical access at boot (press the magic key, set username and password, boom, it is not your machine anymore) or connecting to a network with a magic setup server and certificate (corporate WiFi might do this accidentially to your machine). No good consistent and easy way to deactivate or prevent, it is different for each generation and vendor unfortunately, if at all possible.
The implication here is that your home directory can actually work across distros? How in the world do you do that? Surely you have to encounter errors sometimes when cached data or configs point to nonexistent paths, or other incompatibilities come up?

There's the kind of job where you need security clearance and a full background check. Not all of those pay well (I assume the janitors at NSA are security cleared in some way), but some absolutely do. Especially when, like Snowden did, you leave the actual org after a bit and then get hired back as a private contractor.

Designers should feel the "need to be original", in the sense that every project is different, and can be looked at with fresh eyes.

Perhaps a project is 50% similar to existing project A, 45% similar to existing project B, and 5% novel. Finding this correct balance of copies of A and B, and finding a good solution to the novel part - this process feels "original" in many ways.

Regardless if there is voluntary long-term adoption of such technologies by a relatively free market vs. regulatory capture that leads politicians to arguably poorly-wastefully investing in technologies and companies pulling from the public coffers politicians have been entrusted with protecting; instead of the company and their technology, their offerings, gaining "votes" by consumers one-to-one buying the products, giving them profits and building more competent investors' confidence that the startup/technology is a actually good bet; of course the VC industrial complex has the whole hype up process for pump and dump, onto the public markets, so end consumers may become invested into bad investments if their stock broker and them aren't aligned properly incentives wise.

There's already a battle between mass produced and arguably unethical-inhumane living conditions/processes of the chicken industrial complex vs. small-organic farm raised chickens [of which overall arguably is losing and will remain suppressed even if it's what consumers prefer due to things like economies of scale and government subsidies that stack in favour to industrial complexes], and so adding a cultured "meat" into the food industrial complex landscape becomes more of a competitive battle between the existing handful of centralized incumbents and this new method of producing "food" [whether healthy or not] - which has the lowest manufacturing-distribution costs, and is policy structured to allow the general-mass population of people to have enough money to afford more than what is the cheapest.

There is also arguably a war within this industry, and perhaps foreign bad actors who may also be attempting to destroy our food production hoping for various outcomes, whether causing a reduction in supply and so an increase in price-profits, or other; I'll let your own creativity and imagination take you there, extrapolate further if you're connected to and spent much time already integrating the shadow.

P.S. The above of course isn't specific to Israel, many, if not most governments seem to do this to various degrees to "support" industrial complexes.

Not sure, that's good advice for times in the past, or for times in the next few months, but if we're arranging to meet at midday local time in two years time, I don't think a change in timezone rules in 2025 should cause our meeting to take place at a different time.
I suppose you could store the meeting in UTC and use the creation time of the meeting to decide to use the 2024 timezone rules for conversion not the 2026 rules, but that seems pretty confusing too!
Another thing is that having the change of calendar date in the middle of your waking hours is rather annoying and potentially confusing, and everybody in the world not living near wherever the meridian ends up will be subjected to that. (Because in that case a single calendar date can refer either to solar date A in the afternoon/evening, or solar date B in the morning).

Like should public holidays e.g. start and end right in the middle of the solar day because that's when midnight UTC happens locally? Do you reintroduce time zones by the back door by defining a local start/end time for day-based events to align them back to the solar day?

Curiosity, what is the difference between 4D or 6DoF (six degrees of freedom)? Sounds a lot like the 6DoF work that Lytro did back in 2012, although this obviously is coming at the problem from the other direction, generating it rather than capturing it.
Totally agree. Most people DO look better with hair, not bald. Any tool that can visualize a non-bald person bald reveals how the person look may change from good to bad, and a lot of such persons are not that masculine or attractive when they're bald as they or anybody else might think. I could not cope with being bald, and the only thing that really helped me was FUE, nothing else. I'm really lucky to look younger than I might look in my 38, and I still have my hair on top of my head, not underneath being more attractive than having premature balding issues in 25-33.

Sure. Things are currently held on-site at nuclear plants, and they can continue to do so indefinitely IMHO. I'm in Toronto, ~50km from the Pickering plant, and I'd be fine with that. I good friend of mine has lived in Pickering all his life and doesn't give it a second thought.

I am aware of that. The library will be released as MIT and free to use for all. My worries are:
1- Would managing the community be too taxing for me personally.
2- Being a people pleasure by nature (hate that about myself) would I endup diverting the open sourced library from my own vision so as to please the who ever screams louder in the community
My hopes/dreams are:
1- Someone/some company would like the library and decides to sponsor it. Maybe it fits somehow with their own product/services and would hire me. I have a very confortable job/salary ... but as I m having so much fun with this library that I'd rather work on it full time!

"And some bugs just take a while to find and fix."

I think it's less that it took awhile to find the bug/etc, more so that they've been pretty much radio silent for six months. AMD had the issue with burning 7 series CPUs, they were quick to at least put out a statement that they'll make customers whole again.
But these are only promised to be checked at runtime, even though the compiler can sometimes hint at things earlier.

Yup. I used that feature for many years to remote manage a file server at my folks place. Works great! Just don't expose it directly to the outside world.

I think you are talking past me? My point is the easy code is not where you would want to put breakpoints. It isn't a matter of the IDE, it is a matter of the likelihood that you want a breakpoint in a tight loop. And if you do, you will be working against optimizations and adding far more code to execute than a single condition.

Is like someone adding what feels like a single field to a query, not accounting for the effort that goes into a join.

Edit: I should add that "difficulty with step debugging" isn't just "won't work." I picture "having to press resume a few hundred times to get exactly where I want to be" as difficulty, there.

CSV are no better than markdown tables to edit by hand. However they’re convenient in that you don’t have to do that and can use a spreadsheet.

rST allows using a csv as a table and that’s mighty convenient. An other thing that’s mighty convenient is rST allows rendering a nested list as a table. It’s not amazing because each list item is a row rather than a column, but it is a lot less confusing than having to edit a markdown table if you’re not in a table-aware editor.
They are mathematically the same, depending on the tax curves.

A negative income tax doesn't mean you get -50% of $400, it means your income starts negative. So someone making $0 gets like $1000 back (say by paying 20% over -$5000).
