I feel you misunderstood the thread if that's your take away.

The argument is that properly utilising a stronger type system is more self-documenting. And quite often to achieve safe abstractions, you have to lean into this paradigm more. It of course still requires discipline, but in my experience it works well in practice.

Since C has no generics/type templates, you cannot achieve the same level of type based abstractions, thus you cannot rely on the types semantics alone to suggest it's own use.
ASP.NET Core Minimal Api is already lightweight
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. These pages talk about how the ordering of marked adverts appear in results, not non-advert search results.

Having said that, I think it's clear the quality of non-ad search results isn't great, but I don't know if that's due to perverse incentives on Google's side or just the increasing sophistication of SEO defeating Google's relevance ranking.

The JVM pivot helped but IIRC it was still far behind PHP. If memory serves we noticed it most on database drivers - PHP used the native bindings but CF used ODBC/JDBC and that hurt them a lot for reasons I assume we’re not easy to fix. There was a usability argument for CF in some cases but as you noted it wasn’t enough to cancel out being proprietary, especially once there was a stable of people with PHP experience to hire.

> I one time worked for a company that had a import on the top that called every single SQL query as part of the template, meaning that there was about ~20 SQL queries running sequentially on every page load.

This is bringing back painful memories of the time I was billed out at some obscene rate to do some overtime bailing out a client (local utility company). We’d had the design side of a product locator site but they’d given the software side to a bigger contractor, and 12 months into a 4 month project they were missing half of the features and the developers were telling them they needed to drop a million on a high-end server to handle the database. I looked at it and quickly found the problem: none of the developers knew SQL well enough to know how to filter a JOIN, so they had multiple nested ASP loops which were retrieving hundreds of millions of rows, using an if statement to decide which ones matched the active filters, and then did more queries in the inner loop. The client paid double our normal rate for me working a few late nights, got five orders of magnitude better performance, and had a very interesting conversation with the original team about the money they had been billed for people who clearly weren’t the senior engineers they’d been paying for.

> I don't think it's possible to craft regulation such that companies collecting data for "internal use" can't abuse it.

Actually, the regulatory language is easy. "You may not buy or sell user data."

The friction comes from the fact that a large part of our economy is highly dependent on the ability to buy and sell user data.
Ask HN: What is the need for Jira status workflows?
In JIRA, you can configure workflows to control the movement of an issue's status. For instance, you can enforce a rule where an issue cannot move directly from "In Progress" to "Done" without first transitioning through an "In Review" stage.

Question:
I never really understood the importance of this feature, do you have use cases where you've found this feature particularly helpful?

We're considering implementing similar workflow customization in Tegon, our open-source project management tool. What do you think? Is this feature needed?
I disagree that this argument makes it less likely to have very low prices much of the time. I think it makes it more likely.

If peak to trough is a large gap, say 60% of peak, this tends to make it less likely that peak will be met by overproduction, since that would involve very large capital costs.

The picture you paint above would suggest a very small gap between peak and trough, say 2% of peak. This means that almost certainly there would be enough over capacity to more than meet peak demand. Therefore the total daily demand would be more than met by capacity, leading to some energy being thrown away. So at all times except the peak, the marginal cost would be zero.

You have given an accurate argument for why demand would be elastic at trough. But you haven't given any reason why overall demand would be very elastic.
Interesting how none of the risks you cite are an increase into their insurance premiums. In fact, what you point to are completely irrational thoughts that have nothing to do with the risks presented by undertaking those activities. It doesn't matter if speeds are set low or irrationally, the fee for a ticket is the same as is the insurance premium increase. Same with being better than another driver, it doesn't matter if you are or aren't better than another driver when they crash into you. Your premiums will increase the same. I appreciate you making my point for me.
Are you totally ignorant of how much nuclear costs?

Go ahead and look at the lazard lcoe numbers, and this year was an odd increase for solar wind that will basically be the best that nuclear can hope for.

If nuclear could provide a cheap scalable easily approved rapidly deployed safe and low waste reactor that could be price competitive with solar and wind, then they be in the game.

That is not happening without probably 10 to 20 years of research and development with billions of dollars of funding.

Old nuclear was solid rods and gigantic domes and all of that stuff simply is not price competitive, and even if you dropped everything and started attempting to get approvals and construction for hundreds of nuclear plants, they won't come online for 10 to 20 years themselves.

When's going to get cheaper solar? Certainly going to get cheaper with perovskites. Stores will get cheaper with lfp and sodium ion improvements, solid state and hopefully someday sulfur chemistries.

The nuclear industry needed to get its act together decades ago. In my opinion, it made a huge error in abandoning msr in the 70s (which has all the features of a competitive nuclear plant if they could figure out the materials science) and other breeder reactors.

A solid fuel rods reactor is simply not reliably safe in all disaster scenarios (Fukushima).

Instead they destroyed the internet and replaced it with affiliate marketing blog spam.
Towing cars at all without a very crucial reason should be illegal in general.

Taking someone’s transportation that they assume they have access to, without their knowledge, and without them being able to find out until the very second they need that transportation is dangerous. Emergencies happen.

If you’re taking someone’s car you better have a damn good reason. And “you accidentally parked in the wrong parking spot doesn’t clear that hurdle. That’s what tickets are for. “Really wanting to see the recordings from your car camera” doesn’t clear that hurdle either.
My 2 cents: these are the types of people that actually get the job done. All good software in my experience starts thanks to overachieving human representations of Pareto's law - people that can do alone in months what a team of average-skilled developers do in years.

In this industry it's very, very easy to run in circle, keeping doing stuff over stuff without realising you are in a bikeshedding loop, you're overengineering or simply wasting time. We need people that want to just push forward and assume the responsibility of anything that breaks, otherwise I'm sure that in 30 years we'd all still be using the same stuff we've always used because it's just human nature to stick with what we know works, quirks and all.

It won’t work as you expect. Most of these drivers don’t have insurance. Second, you might make things worse, as now you have other Karen-like drivers who will eventually start threatening other people to report them, and that will escalate a situation from flipping a bird to a more dangerous situation. I sometimes watch dashcam rage videos on YouTube, and these drivers won’t care or even become more aggressive once told there’s a dashcam. This is not to mention the questionable results of ML that could report false positives.

I would argue that a brief conversation with a senior developer provides as useful information as any coding test or fancy interview question. The only way to really know if someone is going to be a good fit for your organization is to hire them and work with them for a couple weeks. After just a couple weeks, you know everything you need to know about the candidate. Unfortunately, most of the world makes a hiring someone for 2 weeks difficult. If you want to fix something about the hiring process, find a way to let people work together for a couple weeks before hiring them as full-time employees. I've done this with contractors in the past and it works wonderfully. I still hire people and fire them if they don't work out after a couple weeks. I also tell people I will do this during the hiring process.

Free Pascal comes with Free Vision. FV has some weird history in that Borland released their C++ conversion of Turbo Vision to public domain, then someone converted that to Turbo Pascal and converted it to use graphics instead of textmode (with coordinates in pixels, etc) and then it was ported to Free Pascal and converted back to text mode and to use Free Pascal's cross platform text mode units. The Free Pascal IDE that comes with the compiler is made using Free Vision and Free Vision works on pretty much any platform Free Pascal itself supports (as long as it has some form of text mode).

Regardless of the history, the API is basically the same, you can even read a tutorial written for Turbo Vision and apply it to Free Pascal with minimal changes.

Recently there has been a UTF-8 version (original TP -and FV- was made for 8bit DOS character codes) though it is a big buggy and slower than the non-UTF-8 version. I tried to use to make an Info viewer[0] some months ago but i had to switch to the non-UTF-8 version due to the bugs.

The Scaling Hypothesis (2020)
The problem with this discussion is not only that the definition of "art" lacks a consensus. The main issue is that instead of being a descriptive, a lot of people call something "art" as a compliment. Which is utterly silly, by the way.

Because at that point "art" becomes sinply something that is "aesthetically pleasant", and that will change from person to person. "Art" as a compliment is useless.

If we try to use "art" as a descriptive, then we would need to draw a hypothetical Venn diagram, and define things that are art and things that are not, so we could try to categorize videogames, or whatever AI produces. This implies a lot more agreement than there is currently.
More self-documenting for whom, the code generating documentation? Because for using it as a programmer I've found the code that has been Rust-ified to normalize everything into 1000 traits of which the given type you are using might implement 100 you can't see without going into more documentation to be a nightmare.
One man's terrorist is one man's freedom fighter. There is a benefit to people openly associating. One may not agree, but it is, frankly, preferable to the those ideas simmering beneath the surface without any kinda way to measure how fast they are spreading ( and why ). Honestly, pretending things don't exist does not work that well for too long.
I don't turn it on simply because it drains an absurd amount of battery. I don't even understand why it does so. Is it old tech? My Blink cameras have 2 AA Lithium batteries that take motion-activated video all day on a busy side-walk for at least a couple of months. Yet one shopping trip drains like 2% battery in Sentry mode, wtf? That's a lot.

True that, and yet the kernel has zero issues keeping Btrfs around even though it's been eating people data since 2010. Kent Overstreet sure is naive at times, but I just can't not sneer at the irony that an experimental filesystem is arguably better than a 15-years old one that's been in the Linux kernel for more than a decade.
The older I get, the more certain I am that Apple products are designed from the ground-up as ad-watching appliances. On iPad, you're restricted to a sandboxed environment where you are not encouraged (or in many cases, allowed) to do anything other than watch ads. You cannot sideload apps that are Open Source. You cannot install emulators or fullspeed VM software. You cannot switch the browser out for one you would prefer with controls amenable to your satisfaction. You watch ads, because any holistic path to entertaining yourself is either sold by Apple or monetized through advertisements. On every Apple platform.

I remember watching those "what's a computer?" ads and laughing out loud. Yeah, what is a computer? We've gone so long watching YouTube ads and Music.ly sponsored content that half of us don't even know what one is. Are we even still connected, when companies like Apple mediate how we're allowed to communicate with each other and share ideas? Apple's design for a bicycle for the mind has been repurposed into a flywheel for cash generation. I don't meet a single person "riding" their iPhone anywhere more important than Pornhub or Instagram.
> > Its initial argument, that AI tools don't produce art because they offer meaningfully fewer knobs and dials to creators than a camera

> Chiang is not saying this at all. I'm not sure how you interpreted it this way.

He says this, very explicitly, in his direct comparison with photography. I'm not sure how you managed to miss it.

"When photography was first developed, I suspect it didn’t seem like an artistic medium because it wasn’t apparent that there were a lot of choices to be made; you just set up the camera and start the exposure. But over time people realized that there were a vast number of things you could do with cameras, and the artistry lies in the many choices that a photographer makes. It might not always be easy to articulate what the choices are, but when you compare an amateur’s photos to a professional’s, you can see the difference. So then the question becomes: Is there a similar opportunity to make a vast number of choices using a text-to-image generator? I think the answer is no."
I also don't feel anything looking at most "modern art".

It is still considered art.

As one example, if your work on something that's audited, this can be useful, for the papertrail: you document (in an enforced way) when and who worked on the different stages of a piece code, which also gives you some extra info when doing failure root cause analysis (where did it go wrong by whom).

On projects which are done in the style of code-quick-test-in-prod I think it is usually less useful.

> It saddens me the Brasil banned X because of racism, anti-semitism and hate-speech. But X is still not banned in the west.

From what I've read, that was not exactly what's happening with Elon Musk's Twitter in Brasil.

From what I've gathered, Brasil informed Elon Musk's Twitter that in order to comply with Brasil's law regarding disinformation, libel, and propaganda, they had to appoint a legal representative to be contacted by Brasil's judicial system to address reports of illegal activity. In response, Elon Musk basically ordered Twitter to dissolve all of its corporate presence in Brasil to retaliate against the demand, thinking that without a legal presence in the country that Twitter would magically become immune to Brasil's jurisdiction.

Except that Brasil's judicial system does have some tools and the means to prosecute uncooperative entities, particularly private individuals who hide behind corporate structures. Consequently, Brasil not only blocked Elon Musk's Twitter from Brasil due to Elon Musk's purposely uncooperative attitude but also has the legal means to go after the private individuals behind the decision to antagonize Brasil. Consequently, they enforced the consequences of Elon Musk's actions to Elon Musk's property in Brasil, such as Starlink.

Overall, this case is only orthogonally related to free speech. At it's core there's only one thing: Elon Musk making ill-advised decisions (reportedly against legal advise from his own legal representatives and in opposition to the actions of his legal representatives) and is now fabricating stories to distract people from the fact that all he is experiencing is the consequences of his own actions, which would be extremely easily avoided if he just listened to his own lawyers.
Migrating to to the "WordPress back end" is not the same as migrating to WordPress.

The back-end database of Tumblr is reportedly very simple so migrating it to whatever database running on whatever OS is probably not too hard. The chance of them migrating all the application code to use some kind of hacked about wordpress theme is absolutely zero.
As the other commentator is saying, it's about the speed of the animation. It's the same on every iPhone, including mine, but it's too slow for someone who doesn't want to be "amazed by cool animations/translations" every time I switch pane/panel/window/go back/go forward.

> 12 Mini that is on iOS 16. Comparing it to my Pixel 6a with stock Android 14

Enable the Developer/Debug menu on your Android phone, turn off animations inside that menu then compare the "snappiness" between the two. While the iPhone puts animations/transitions/fades between everything, the Android will immediately "jump" to what you wanted, without animations. If you try this out, I'm sure you'll notice what I mean.

This is what I want on my phone too, or at least 100x faster animations.
That means it has only 1 chance per year to recoup the investment. And that requires exorbitant energy spot selling price, which too rarely happens to rely on. The economics just isn't there.
