Yeah I'm fairly new to Go, but have done plenty of work in languages with "no pointers" (Python, Java), with pointers (Objective-C), and with "reference/value types" (Swift). I thought I was pretty proficient with all of this, but Go's implementation was really unergonomic. It feels like it's trying to be C, but treating it more like Swift has been more effective I've found. How this all interacts with nils and missing fields in structs is also not very ergonomic, and it feels like the language is obviously missing an optional type, yet I've not seen one used commonly yet.

> I'll have a think about how I can make that page more valuable

With any idea I like to think of two things:

- how many other people will executing this idea help?

- how much will I grow in the right direction by executing this idea?

So maybe you could have the AI rate these to.

Impact on Others score. Personal growth score. Honeslty I'd probably just add like 2 - 3 other columns to https://app.getmarketerai.com/content/ideas, and continually experiment with new ideas until you have 3 great ones.

I'd almost hide every other feature/page and really hone this.

What you are helping people with is not the last mile downstream task of crafting individual idea, but the far more valuable and important and impactful upstream task of choosing among the infinite ideas one could do.

> Issue being, the headline is written in a way that deliberately makes it sound like something nefarious is going on, where it sounds like an underlying disagreement over the interpretation of how long records were required to be retained due to this signing on to the Capstone program.

From the article, it seems there was a dispute over which of two scenarios applied (1) the CDC agreed to implement the whole of the Capstone program but then unilaterally decided to stop applying it to lower-level employees; (2) the CDC agreed to implement it for senior employees only and never agreed to implement it for lower-level employees. Plaintiffs claimed the situation was (1), the CDC claimed it was (2), the judge decided based on the evidence (1) was more likely. The plaintiffs are GOP-aligned and the judge is an Obama appointee, so one must assume the judge is ruling based on the evidence, not partisan bias. Given that, it definitely makes the CDC and the DOJ look bad - if the judge’s ruling is correct, then they were presenting a false narrative to the Court
Please note that the article is quite old and does not encompass the wide variety of scenarios C# is effective at.

Structs are used for but not limited to: all kinds of "transient" data containers, pass by value semantics, precise control over layout of data in memory, low-level programming and interoperating with C/C++, zero-cost abstractions via struct generics (ala Rust or templates in C++), lightweight wrappers over existing types, etc.

Most C# codebases use them without even noticing in `foreach` loops - enumerators are quite often structs, and so are Span<T> and Memory<T> (which are .NET slice types for arrays, strings and pretty much every other type of contiguous memory, including unmanaged). Tuple syntax uses structs too - `(int x, int y)` is `ValueTuple<int, int>` behind the scenes.

.NET has gotten quite good at optimizing structs, so the more general response is "you use them for the same things you use structs in C, C++". Or the same reason you would pick plain T struct in Rust over Box/Arc<T>.

How about displaying data on cli w/ textualize vs on an admin web interface.

That's "America First Legal’s executive director Gene Hamilton" as is pointed out in the section you quoted.

Plenty of people do want longer range though. Also, trucks could use longer range, and aviation definitely needs longer-range batteries.
I work in a heavily regulated industry, and 'yes' is the answer for us, even going as far as mobile-first IM platforms.

R23 doesn’t have the same SIMD optimizations available for ARM as it does for x86.

Anyone using R23 instead of R24, is putting arm at a disadvantage. Notebookcheck is often called out for this and haven’t really addressed why they stick with R23 beyond not wanting to redo tests for older hardware. They are by far the outlier for performance numbers and why the discussion around performance gets muddied.

Interesting. That'll probably mean it's in the source code Apple publishes for macOS:

There has always been a societal risk of entering a "you can't believe your eyes"/"nothing is true and everything is possible" phase as AI tools get better. (Two years ago, we didn't have this problem as AI rarely put 5 fingers on human hands, etc.) It's notable that 1.) a presidential candidate is loudly "going there", and 2.) that he is doing so on a matter that is so trivially debunked. [ https://x.com/shayan86/status/1822680679047385597 , https://x.com/annetteish/status/1822698811312988269 , etc] For what it's worth, the conspiracy (that the image of a large crowd was AI generated) had gone viral on Truth Social long before Trump decided to post about it (the rally was on August 8). Had his first foray into this kind of disinformation not involved a photo where there were literally thousands of eye witnesses, the outcome would have been different and far less predictable.

I already got that that was your intended meaning. I was asking who you think do make just and good rulers. Apparently your answer is "Muslims", which I guess means we're just going to have to disagree.
I can’t remember what the case was but I recently read an article where somebody was joking about a company doing something illegal and the response from the legal department in Slack was “ha ha shut up”
That quote is actually in the article and so part of its context and substance. Maybe you meant to point out it was not the author that made the statement?

I used to believe left leaning reporting was more free of bias and manipulation until I realized they often use this tactic. They will not say something themselves, but find someone to quote that makes the point they want made.

They also use build up, where they go back in time and recant the past before moving to the present where they then show the reader what to see through the framing they want them to see it. Some outlets/journailists are better than others, and sometimes it's not what I'm describing. But this method of manipulating public perception of issues and events exists.

At least with sources on the right they are blatant and obvious, easy to pick out and pick apart what they are wrong about.

If you've seen promos for GroundNews recently, I'd highly recommend it. It doesn't solve the bias problem, but as an individual it starts uncovering the ways our news media put their fingers on the scales of society.

It amuses me to imagine engineers reading this comment and going "Oh crap - we totally forgot that the sun doesn't shine at night! Kill the projects immediately!"
> only produced when sun shining?- which means the quoted OP is only for a few hours a day?

China has a very large desert region in the northwest that receive a LOT of sun year round, so I'd expect the panels to be producing a decent amount of power throughout most of the day.

The biggest problem is actually distance - even a few years back, I was reading that there was a massive amount of solar power, but a very significant percentage was lost in transmission to the most densely populated areas of China which are predominantly in the southeast and east of the country.

These areas are also where a lot of rare earth metals are mined, so feasibly it would be relatively cheap to produce giga-batteries there too smooth demand, but I also suspect that they could see significant advantage to doing things that are traditionally energy-costly like electrolysis of water to create hydrogen that could be transferred across the country by pipe with pretty minimal losses and then burned to drive turbines at the other end. Such systems might end up with overall fewer losses than just having thousands of miles of power grid.

Another thing I read recently that was interesting is that it's getting approximately close to free for China to produce solar panels now, significantly cheaper than anywhere else in the world. Largely this is also due to the excess power produced in the northwest that can be cheaply used in the processing needed to produce more solar panels.
Yes, spot on, but it'd be closer to 25% for a grid-scale solar PV installation.
We simply wouldn’t need “g” and would say that acceleration due to gravity on earth is sqrt(pi).
Another good question. I don't super understand a lot of the "I downloaded a software, bought a radio, and look it works". But I do like, for example, things like [1]. The reverse engineering side, the legal hacking side, that's where it gets interesting. The Flipper Zero is a great example of that, though I've never used one.

Another example I thought of on the industrial side is old NASA equipment like in the curiousmarc series. Any time they change anything, even frequency by a small amount, it involves effort like swapping out crystals and tuning filters and junk. In SDR, it's just a variable.

> stereotypical upper middle class American

Not sure where you're getting that from since the only claim I have made about the US (by implication) is that I think China is worse.
> So your rethoric seems misplaced: I am arguing none of the things you are implying.

I was mostly seizing on this line:

> this is probably how "goal-oriented" people can learn to achieve big things

I made the inference here that you meant process-oriented people are, at least, less likely to achieve big things, and that was my mistake. But it lead me on an interesting train of thought, perhaps even doubling down on my assertion: that actually being process-minded is not only as likely but actually more likely to compel someone to achieve great things.

I imagine most people (not necessarily you) look at a Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, or an Elon Musk and go, "They must be really goal-driven". But I couldn't imagine them turning up to work everyday and dread the meetings, talking to staff, and actually doing the work. Most people see this as the daily grind, but for people who enjoy showing up and getting to work, they are more likely to achieve great things.

That's of course not to say they don't savor seeing a rocket launch or something, but I bet they don't dwell on it either. They'll be straight back into the process. It's also not to say that those that enjoy only the goal can't achieve great things, but I'd imagine it would be a lot harder to navigate the 'development hell' that often accompanies such pursuits.

One of the best aspects of Chinese energy policy is there isn't much evidence they care about CO2 at all. They aren't world's largest coal consumer (by a 5x margin I believe [0]) because they care about CO2.

They care about cheap energy and energy security. They've been relatively transparent that they are pursuing all available options as far as those options will go. It has been a wildly successful strategy for them in securing prosperity and I wish the west had that sort of ambition.

A pass-by-reference language would print 2.

Everything in a modern language is passed by copy. Exactly what is copied varies and can easily be pointers/references. But there were languages once upon a time that didn't work that way. It's a dead distinction now, though, unless you go dig one of them up.

If you want a specific one to look at, look at Forth. Note how when you call a function ("invoke a word", closest equivalent concept), the function/word doesn't get a copy of anything. It directly gets the actual value. There is no new copy, no new memory location, it gets the actual same memory as the caller was using, and not as a "pointer"... directly. Nothing works like that any more.
That isn't sufficient. Codepoints with ambiguous width can't be detected in a standard way. A large number of pre-emoji symbols have been upgraded to have emoji presentation. Some systems default them to emojis with wide rendering, others maintain the text presentation with narrow rendering. Many systems ignore the presentation selectors if you want to force it.
One thing I often see in data people (particularly consultants) is that they are very focused on building reports and dashboards in my experience (manufacturing plant) Analytics should be the focus - if you get the analytical part right - make the data simple/easy to interrogate then the reporting can evolve naturally as a consequence.

Unfortunately I think the tools for a lot of this (exploratory data analysis) are somewhat lacking. I think we are starting to see new tools emerge - especially around Timeseries data that are promising but I don't think things are at the level where a non expert user can quickly glean insights from data in a frictionless way.
