This is a dishonest framing, I think. The scale and type of content, especially the way it is expected to be consumed, on top of a hyper-monetized ad framework was not a thing in ancient times. I also think very few people picked up a lute in those days with the idea that they were only going to play if it made them money (artists have for much of modern history notoriously made a poor living). The point I was making was not that an artist making a living from their art is a new thing, no one is making that point.

About [3]. In Switzerland most of the fiber network is built by Swisscom, a former telecom monopoly and still 51% state owned company that also owns the old copper network. Other ISPs can use the network but everyone has their own router with an integrated ONT. ONTs as a separate device are pretty much unknown. On XGS-PON only certified ONTs are whitelisted [0] The wholesale price list is public [1] For actuall prices see [2] They differentiate mostly through support, price and additional services like TV. Data caps are basically unheard of (I don't call something like the fiber7 FUP of 600TB a data cap) and CGNAT is, while not uncommon, at most a phone call to disable it.

Europa is hard vacuum on the surface, so this is not actually intuitively obvious: i.e. if you built up a gaseous steam interface between the bore hole walls, then you might have quite a bit of trouble losing heat back into the surrounding ice.

In fact you could just boil the water to steam and vent it out the top via a surface valve assembly - the interior would act like a vacuum thermace flask.
> I've been hearing about Datomic on and off over the years, and I never saw a clear answer to the simple question: what is it? What does it do?

I'm guessing most people, like me, first heard about both Clojure and Datomic from one of Hickey's famous talks about software development. Coming from one of those, I guess it's a bit easier to understand what the various concepts and words mean from Datomic's website for example.

I guess the easiest way to put it: Datomic is a append-only (deletions via "retraction" records) database that lets you query through time (also called "Bitemporal modeling" with fancier words).

The features/benefits page I think is pretty clear (https://www.datomic.com/benefits.html) but again, might just be my familiarity speaking.

Is there a way to prevent callback hell in C++ when doing asynchronous communication with C++ before 20? Coroutines seem to be the only clean solution. Promises can work, but they tend to be difficult to reason about if branching is involved.

I don’t 100% follow your comment, so sorry if this is not quite right.

But, I would consider pipelining to be a form or parallelism. It breaks up a task so that parts of it can be run simultaneously (in different stages of the pipeline, simultaneously). There are other ways to do parallelism of course, but it is a way.

In your example, if there are multiple pipeline stages in this server, then the tasks should be worked on simultaneously, and so parallelism is occurring.

Multi-core, SIMD, and pipelining. Parallelism has multiple dimensions.
As historical note for those that don't follow C++, C++20 co-routines grew up from the work done with asynchronous programming on WinRT for C# and C++, inspired by Midori and .NET async/await.

Most of the magic methods expected by C++ compilers in awaitable types, are also present in the structured typing used by C# for awaitables.

The preview implementation for VC++ and clang were done by a Microsoft employee, Gor Nishanov, his talks are always quite interesting.

I am not saying that learning all these tools is necessary to be a productive developer, but at the same time we should also not easily be discouraged by their mere existence and reject any acquisition of new skills because there is just so much noise to filter through.

I watched her podcast and some interviews, and it's clear that, while not the most educated person, she exudes charisma and has a relatable sense of humor. She seems like a natural entertainer.

I think she's a special case, and she'll prove that over time. I'm happy someone in her position got a chance to share her personality with the world. Wishing her the best.

Is there an actual reference to the idea that the minimum wage was meant to be a "universal basic wage"? Is this in the original congressional debates, the legislation, comments by Roosevelt? (Searching for references to the phrase, I couldn't find anything from the timeframe of when the legislation was enacted.)

>and it has been corroded to uselessness over time.

The federal minimum wage has basically kept up with inflation since the 1930s. In the states where costs are higher, they generally have higher rates.
Teams is legitimately such awful software that it alone serves as evidence that Microsoft needs to be broken up. At any given point of using the software, there are between 5 and 7 "..." buttons on the UI hiding menu options. There is no "test audio" button. You have to call their loopback server. Nobody can compete with Microsoft's office suite all-in-one + the kitchen sink bundle, though, so it persists.
One of the advantage of big monorepos (and Linux really is just one big "monorepo") is that you can change $whatever as long as you also fix everything that depends on that.

Sometimes this is just simple stuff, like adding a function argument, changing a type, or something like that.

"Break whatever" is a bit of a crude way of putting it, but yeah, it's definitely an advantage IMHO. Not just for the final patch, but also prototyping, experimenting, showing ideas, etc.

>I'd imagine a single common user that's never touched, with a pin/password memorized by everyone.

This is how it was done in a typical 24/7 operation that was as small as it could be.

The office people, who worked straight days, each had a PC at their desk, but those offices were dark at night. One supervisor office was manned 0600 to midnight and there were 3 different user accounts on that one.

In the labs there were two "community" desks that the regular shift workers all shared, one in the main paperwork area with the printers and telephones, and one backup/overflow desk in the chemical area. One unique username on each PC, but both using the same password and sharing the same email and LOB servers. That same common email was also used by the supervisors and functioned as a single "interface to the laboratory" for the rest of the organization and the outside world. Naturally this is in a physically secure area but nobody ever signs out or logs in unless the PC is rebooted, and whoever is on duty at the time uses the same password. Each employee also had their own private company email address and could use their own device on the guest wifi.

IIRC the idea of a personal computer was so that it's affordable for every operator with a use case to have one of their own.

It's been a while and as commodities they have stratified into fairly well-defined price points.

If you're using iPads now and can not truly afford one for each user, that could be a strong sign that you need a platform having a lower-cost pricing structure engineered in from the beginning.
It's deeply frustrating to see people who resent giants because they're strong. MS did what anyone else would do in their position, inferior or not.

This was not a situation where everyone chose to wear potato sacks instead of Nike. Clothing is a stylistic and individualistic choice, whereas your business's OS, platform, and software have concerns of support, compatibility, interoperation, long-term stability, etc.

Compatibility and interop are things that large software vendors simply can't uphold very well at all. Even if they were magnanimous, generous, 100% committed to interop with everything else, they would incur massive tech debt and support burdens to arrange for those things. So of course they build in unique features. Of course they make breaking changes. Of course they're ensuring you stay as a customer.

More than that, if a business looks around and 9/10ths of their partners use FOOBAR WIDGETS, and 99% of their workforce is trained exclusively in FOOBAR WIDGETS, what widgets are they gonna choose? The network effect has been strong for choice of platform/software, and once a plurality was achieved, MS essentially had a commitment and responsibility to the business world to be their huckleberry. At that point, force isn't necessary when customers are clamoring to be let in to the club. Force isn't necessary when your labor pool is full of MCSEs competing with neckbeards who spit on Bill Gates.
>The things you buy are required to not poison you.

"We have laws against poison being in food therefore it's ok if a research organization funded by the federal government denies you your property rights" is a laughably contemptible argument. It falls flat on its face the second it leaves your mouth. Just admit you agreed with the ends justifying the means and stop pretending you care about democracy or rule of law.

>And, if I'm being completely honest, I have absolutely zero respect for someone who is upset they couldn't fuck someone over at a time where unemployment was so high

And what if I was the one who was unemployed while my tenant kept their job while refusing to pay because they knew my rights had been stripped from me?
Not the same in the slightest, this would be like AWS allowing you to run S3 on Azure but charging you 4 times the same licensing cost in Azure as you would pay in AWS.

A cloud having exclusive software and features is expected.
This is really, really cool!

On the licensing side, though:

> We’ve made the decision to make the editor source-available so that folks can make contributions and so that they can examine the code to make sure they can trust it.

This is a very reasonable intent, and it absolutely makes sense to preserve your options to monetize, but Polyform Strict https://polyformproject.org/licenses/strict/1.0.0/ , which you link to from your readme, seems to be far stronger than this intent.

The way I read that license, I cannot "make changes" even if I do not distribute those changes, not even changing a line of code on a version I'm running on my own computer, whether I'm using it for a commercial project or not. So contributors, it seems, would be limited to raising issues but not PRs? And it's unclear what applies as commercial use - if I'm using Haystack on a commercial codebase, and I encounter a bug that triggers on that codebase, and want to use the Haystack source code to understand what's going on to further my commercial purpose, would that be an unlicensed use of the source code?

Now, make no mistake - this is in no ways worse than the prior status quo of Haystack being closed-source. And I think you as a company should focus on building, with the certainty and comfort that this license, if anything, does err on the side of being restrictive. But some users, given this license, will be uncomfortable referring to the repository at all. I'll be one of those, but will still be excited to experiment with Haystack as a binary distribution nonetheless!

(Not a lawyer, this is not legal advice!)
Note that C# and C++ are quite similar, the biggest difference are the lifetime gotchas and not having coroutines runtime on the standard library.

Their design has a common source, and the magic methods for awaitables as well.

> universally all have decade long felonious records

Not true at all, it depends on the state. In the south with a history of unfair justice for black Americans and "tough on crime" standards, you have two strike or three strike systems. And not just for felonies! And this doesn't even touch on perpetual imprisonment laws, which have a long history dating back to Jim Crow post-reconstruction south.

> are NOT thrown in jail for 20 years

The best way to not be thrown in jail for drug charges is to be white, lol. These laws are thinly veiled discrimination machines. It's not a coincidence that the drugs with the most iron hammer happen to be the drugs black Americans frequent.

Again, this is changing now. We don't do this anymore. But go back to the 80s, the 90s, the early 2000s and this was very prolific, particularly in the south.
This is your own personal definition of "pipelining" which most of other people wouldn't subscribe to.

And to pick a nit, there is always some synchronization between the submission of an input and the processing of that input: the submission must happen before the processing, unfortunately.
To be fair, this is a pretty rational approach to many low impact questions with no timeline. You can simply wait for cost to go down and chance of success to go up.

Most people would agree we dont need to know about Europa today. If you look at other issues where the government spends money like a drunk sailor, there are at least debated claims of urgency and need.
Sorry I don't think it does either. Kind of glazed over the fact you were talking about the UK specifically

It's just speculation on my part that that's the actual reason for some of those markets.

It might have to do with (old) EU specific regulations. I know the UK adopted many EU laws to expedite brexit.
I'm not talking about territories, I'm talking about the US' long, well-documented history of neoliberal foreign interference with democratic nations, with the aim of establishing economic and ideological superiority.
Jury nullification is the real mechanism for We The People when we don't consent to be held to laws passed by They The Wealthy/Bribed Lawmakers

It requires that people refuse plea deals and demand jury trials, and that the jury is educated on what jury nullification is but when prosecutors can't get a conviction regardless of much evidence they have of guilt the laws will get changed or at least they stop being enforced.
I don’t write too much anymore, one of my blogs got a lot more exposure and attention than I was comfortable with and people online in general are weirdo freaks and annoying to deal with. I guess I didn’t fuss too much with that stuff, the quality was likely poorer than it could have been. Same with my video stuff, I just don’t care that much if it’s polished. Audience feedback sometimes helps but isn’t that motivating to me.

Thank you for your question.

I've included a link to Lewis Baker's blog (the author of CppCoro) in my repository as an excellent explanation of coroutines. From my understanding, after reviewing his library, it is no longer in active development and hasn’t been updated for a couple of years. CppCoro was an experimental library intended to explore coroutines while they were still an experimental feature. For example, CppCoro uses a custom type for storing values, similar to std::optional from the standard library (if I'm not mistaken).

For my implementation, I've opted to leverage std::expected from C++23 for storing values. I've also implemented monadic-like chaining. CppCoro, however, seems to focus more on asynchronous operations, whereas my library focuses more on task-based parallelism.

I don't have experience with Boost.Cobalt, so I can't provide insights there, but I will definitely look into it now that you've mentioned it.

Hope this helps.
This seems unnecessarily negative and pessimistic. "Content" is the stuff or substance that people want to consume as opposed to all the associated stuff (branding, SEO, "hooks", whatever). "Content creator" recognizes that there is similarity between long form video essays and shorts and blogs and live streams - and that people who do one often do others.
I was assuming something little thicker than optical fibre - the "probe" could be self powered using an RTG with the "waste" heat doing the melting?

Once the ice freezes again behind the probe it would protect the fibre... perhaps?

Fortunately something like that wouldn't be too difficult to test on Earth - probe recovery might be tricky though.
