> Just because society normalises this attitude, it doesn't make it right.

Fully agreed—society normalizing something doesn't make it right.

By TFA's numbers, 1/3 of UK adults were happier during the pandemic than before. That's a lot of people who were unhappy with the extrovert-centric norms that were dominant pre-pandemic. Those people went along with it because they hadn't ever realized there was something better. Now they have realized it and they're not giving up their effort to change the norms to better accommodate them. As you say, society normalizing something doesn't make it right, and when we're faced with an unjust society it's time to change it.

Your comment makes it sound like the introverts are suddenly in charge and dictating what is normal. That's not the case at all. The 1/3 just finally found a voice to express our opinions at all, and the 2/3 who used to run the world unopposed are unhappy about that.
In consumer banking, there is a pretty popular software called Finacle developed by Infosys. It was originally a TUI called Bancs2000 and was written in C and Pro*C. It could basically accept input as fast as one could type. With a few months experience, you would be blazing fast. Then they replaced it with a web based component and called it Finacle - and everyone hated it at first. The replacement wasn't particularly slow by standards of a web based component, just that the users were spoiled by the combination of muscle memory supported by TUI speed.

I had a boss who was a very good programmer and a writer. He used to spend hours just writing the table of contents, hours. Once he is satisfied, he will finish writing the actual text very, very fast.

While he would write and rewrite ToC multiple times, he rarely edited the actual content, no matter how long it was.

An example of a use I have deployed via another solution for my wife. She often works from home. She often has to markup up documents and finds it much easier to do so from paper copies. When connected to her work VPN she isn’t allowed access to the local network. We have two offices and the printer is in mine because I frequently need to use it for printing invoices. She used to have to bring her laptop into my office and connect it via usb to print or disconnect from the work VPN. I deployed a usb over network extender. Now she can print from her office without disconnecting from the VPN.

There are a number of such systems that do this via revoting or dummy ballots. One of my projects, Votexx, uses vote nullification (or flipping) via a trusted third party chosen by the voter.

The general idea for all of these is if you add uncertainty you reduce what a coercer is willing to pay creating a mutually assured destruction scenario whereby the system being in place ensures nobody ever tries it.

How does it scratch that itch. This thing can plant seeds and water the plants. You can just run a hose through your raised bed and have a timer on your water valve. This thing won't grow food for you. If you're worried about the apocalypse, then start researching how seeds are produced, because your apocalypse garden plan will probably die right there.
What's going wrong is the half life of a STEM career in the USA is only about 10 years in my experience.

Better have some backup plan for the second half of your work life. Or simply choose some other career --- which is apparently an increasingly popular option.

Use homomorphic encryption to allow a voter to create multiple “valid” keys from their root key, and sell those votes to as many people as they want! Provide instructions publicly on exactly how to do so.

Then, the voter can vote using their root key, reversing all the sold votes and cast a vote for their preferred candidate.

Vote selling problem solved.

These are just corporations raising prices. They raise and lower prices in order to maximize profit. That’s what corporations do. The only way they’re finding greater profit when raising prices is because the consumer is willing and able to pay the higher prices. They’re always doing this.

Cool article from the perspective of setting up a data center, but the big question remains - Why?

If the goal is to create a bigger, faster, smarter version of OpenAI's GPT, then I'm not sure if this sounds even logical. The current crop of LLM models is just a Q&A hallucination filled chatbot which are way past their peak hype cycle. There is still no business model or killer product-market fit. I don't know what the investors are expecting, but they are more than willing to throw more than 6B dollars. So idk. °_°
> This isn't plausible

Why? Of course it wasn't accessible or particularly useful for the majority of people but it was central to the Byzantine economy/financial-system functioned. Soldiers were paid in gold (every 6 or 12 months so that simplified things) and taxes were also collected in gold whenever feasible.

Relying on gold as your primary currnecy of course wasn't ideal since the outcome was a partially demonetisation of the wider economy.

However while it was was basically entirely unavailable in Western Europe and there were almost no gold coins in circulation until the 13th or so it was much more widespread in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Maybe I got lucky, because on my first C job I got told to make sure to stick to ISO C (by which they probably mostly meant not to use compiler-specific extensions), so I got down the rabbit hole of reading up on the ISO specification and on what it does and doesn’t guarantee.

Making sure you have no UB certainly slows you down considerably, and I strongly prefer languages that can catch all non-defined behavior statically for sure, but I don’t find C to be unmanageable.

Memory alignment issues only happen when you cast pointers from the middle of raw memory to/from other types, which, yes, is dangerous territory, and you have to know what you are doing there.
You also can't leave a non-mobile operating system without pain. Mac to Windows: pain. Windows to Mac: pain. Windows to Linux: pain. Linux to Windows: pain. Linux to different Linux distribution: pain. Mac to Linux: pain. Linux to Mac: pain.

Some pairs might have lesser pain, such as Linux to different Linux distribution or Mac to/from Linux, if you mostly stick to more basic command line stuff, but the same is true for mobile device operating systems if you just stick to the basic mobile phone stuff which would be telephone, SMS messaging, camera, calendar, web browsing, and non-cloud syncing.

This is true for most things in life. People spend days and weeks on the logo, that the actual product doesn’t get off the ground. People spend so much time planning the perfect vacation, that it never happens. And so on.

Truth is, for most things in life, good enough is just good enough. Lots of things we do have a short shelf life anyways.

Friend JetBrains IDEs are brutally slow, they do a lot but VSCode does 90% of what they do, supports more things and starts faster despite being a freaking Electron app, and is also terrible.

You're not making a good point. Delphi started about as fast as a JetBrains IDE on a slow hard drive with a single core CPU whose speed was counted in MHz... And it has a much better form editing experience than anything these days.

My retirement project is going to be this but at larger scale.

Remove the tires from two old bicycles to run them on rails, build a gantry between them mounted to seatposts and handlebars. Probably drive it with chains on winches for robustness.

Use movable wall elements so that the pick and place machine can set up both shade and increased illumination. Maybe have portable rain protection too. Maybe deploy close-up UV and IR lamps.

I'd like to know the max size that a single gantry can serve, see how high its utilization can be.

My guess is that it all can pay off once it's big enough. I just don't know where that point is. 100ft long? 200ft? 300? And 20ft wide?
How would this compare to a software-based USB sniffer?
I've wanted to write a backend web programming language that is based on non-terminating/bounded principles. My theory is that all functions can prove to the compiler that they have bounded execution based on the state and arguments given, and that X is the lower bound and Y is the upper bound. This propagates all the way to the entry point.

I agree with the author with regards to the stronger semantics, and that's why I thought of this language. You often want to have some guarantees over the execution time of your program. It would probably be PRF based at the core, but Turing complete in practice. Like how rust rejects invalid borrows but still offers unsafe for raw pointers, this lang would either calculate the upper bound based on the simple loop primitives, or you'd have to use the unsafe operators and provide an alternative formula for the bounds.

> Not surprised to see Reeder in there. It’s a great app for Apple users.

I agree. Until you find a bug or have a feature request.

> Tried reaching out to the developer about it twice, but they never responded.

And this is exactly why. The developer is the most unresponsive I’ve ever seen. I don’t know why they bother with a “Support / Feedback / Contact” form on the website. And it’s not just you or me, I’ve seen the same commentary from other people.

So if you want to use the app, you better like it as it is. Especially since the developer is working on something else which overlaps in functionality, so I doubt Reeder will get much love going forward. It’s a shame, because it’s the best feed reader I’ve tried, and its small annoyances could be easily solved.

It’s classic scope creep. They should’ve released the game as a base and made the engine and tools kickstarter bonus goals to be delivered later. They should’ve also constrained the scope to “2.5D top-down action RPG engine”. What happened in practice was that they went on constant tangents like writing emulators for the memory card. I can imagine that a lot of team drama came from this mismanagement impeding progress and making everyone’s job harder.

For one, there are twice as many businesses trying to make a profit with the apps as compared to dominoes.

The owner of the Domino’s Pizza wants to make a profit, so he pays his drivers to get the pizza there fast. One company.

When it comes to food delivered by an app, but the restaurant and the company providing the app both want to make a profit.

(Yes, the franchise fee paid Domino’s Corporate technically involves profit for another company but that ruins my argument so I’m conveniently leaving that out. But in all seriousness, there seems to be an economies of scale there that keeps the franchise fee low enough as to be a manageable cost.)

Well yeah, I kind of thought that was the whole goal? If we assume/believe that governments generally are capable of spending that money in a more equitable way that would benefit a larger proportion of the society (while also resulting in higher productivity growth) than allowing it to be (effectively) hoarded by the wealthy.

So your issue is not at all any specific thing or action anyone took, but just in general having UB in places not strictly necessary. And "Especially anything [different from The Golden Days]", besides being extremely cliche, is a completely arbitrary cutoff point.

A given compiler is free to define specific behavior for UB (and indeed you can add compiler flags to do that for many things); the standard explicitly acknowledges that with "Possible undefined behavior ranges from […], to behaving during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment".
It also makes use of the sun and rain for free, unlike controlled setups. Weather is an issue, but it's not an issue everywhere at once. Even now with the progressing climate change farmers are adapting. You have introduction of regenerative farming to mitigate erosion and help with water retention, planting wind barriers, more resistant plant varieties, and much more. It's all designed to help mitigate weather fluctuations. Startups growing wheat under UV lighting are not going to feed the planet.
With what model are you comparing them? Lasers are not energy efficient with respect to how much power they output compared to how much you put in, but that is also not how you measure the efficiency of a pesticide. What you want to know is the energy spent per treated m2 of field, and I don't see how you can immediately dismiss targeted lasers over uniformly sprayed pesticide without further analysis of the average number of weeds in an m2 of field combined with the power requirement to kill it with lasers.

If it's so carefully specced (though how do you italicize a part of a word than? Seems to me more commonly important vs some niche identifiers), why did you bring _ up as an issue?
