It's broadly similar to the reason why Rust won't allow generic methods on traits used to construct trait objects. It seems superficially like a reasonable thing to want, but actually isn't when you consider the details. (The sister comments link to the specific reasons why in the case of Go.)
Not in these cases. It doesn't make sense to deny taking money from a customer unless you're near capacity and can replace the customer.
I’m trying to understand whether this is intended to make Go seem bad or whether it’s just coming across that way to me.
You’re right that the dates serve other purposes. The incentives aren’t as simple as avoiding wasted product.

Shelf space is valuable. Food that expires is inventory that’s not selling for some reason, or it wouldn’t be on the shelf long enough to expire. It’s taking up space that could instead be used for other inventory that does sell well. So even inventory that doesn’t expire at all will get put on the discount rack to get rid of it, or finally thrown out if doesn’t sell even at a cheap price.

The best way to avoid waste is to only buy food that actually sells, the quicker the better. Easier said than done, though.

Also, even greedy supermarket execs need to worry about their store’s reputation if they sell people food that doesn’t taste right too often.
Isn’t it the relative level that decides the balance between imports and exports? Not the absolute level of wealth?
No, synchronization is a different issue entirely. The question upthread was whether it was OK for the compiler to optimize the code to return a constant zero without actually reading from the pointer. And it's not, because any reasonable implementation of "wait for" will defeat aliasing analysis.

You're right that if you try to write async code with only compiler instrumentation, you're very likely to be introducing race conditions (to be clear: not necessarily on architectures with sufficiently clear memory ordering behavior -- you can play tricks like this in pure C with x86 for instance). But that wasn't the question at hand.
Westinghouse went bankrupt over that new reactor, and wasn't it supposed to be more cost-effective?

Nuclear has peaked, and its share knows only one way. Down [1]. It neither has become in any way more significant better nor has it become cheaper or faster to build.

Meanwhile, renewables, got better, cheaper and faster to build.

Nuclear is tech from the past. We needed it once. Now it's clogging up the grids, wasting taxpayer money and leaving waste behind for generations to care about.

The people who you describe as valueing backwards compatibility are exclusively downstream consumers of others work. They value infinite free labour by others to any maintenance by themselves. This is of course a perfectly rational but unsupportable position.

Jimmy Wales lost my respect with Wikia itself, even before it was acquired.

There was a huge push in Wikipedia in the 2010s to delete content that could be moved into Wikia/Fandom, and a huge amount of quality information was removed. It was clear the goal was to pump views in the money-making website.

Then we only saw Wikia becoming Fandom and getting progressively worse.
Portugal taxes are probably higher than Sweden.

Many people ignore portugal mandatory social contribution, it is mandatory even if you earn minimum wage, and the tax there is about 34% (forgot exact number, the way they charge make it clunky to calculate). Most portuguese people think this tax is "only" 11% because the rest of the tax is "paid" by the employer. Average people don't understand that if your salary was supposed to be 1000 and you get only 650 after tax you paid 350 in taxes even if your paycheck says your pretax salary is 800.

Note: the income tax is paid on top of the social contribution, so is easy to end paying 50%+ taxes if you are in tech. Then Portugal gets mad with all recent grads moving to Germany. (By the way, I still live in Portugal but all companies I worked for since moving here were German, Portuguese companies can't compete in wages)
Random question: do you work with the new wikis to create some kind of license that prevents Fandom from scraping future changes back into their version of the wikis? Obviously the technical modifications can't translate, but it seems like it wouldn't be that hard for them to slurp most textual/markup changes back in and make it look like their version of the wiki is still alive…
Aw, I take that as it is in fact a for-profit company already.

Regardless, I wish you luck for the future! May you not go down the almost inevitable enshittification hole.
Why we moved away from K8s StatefulSets
Depending on your viewpoint and what “counts”, king is probably the oldest in a loose non-specific way. Though this did lead me down a rabbit hope where I found an interesting bit of trivia. The Akkadian word for king, “šar”, is suspiciously close to the Slavic word for monarch, “tsar”. I can’t find any concrete evidence of a connection, but hey, it’s fun to ponder whether it’s coincidental or not.
The points about the effects of noise are super interesting. Kind of mind blowing to think about the sensitivity of our perception being so different across visual channels (color, shape, movement, etc).
That's considered vandalism of fandom, and probably rightly so.

Could you imagine if someone declared a successor to wikipedia and edited all the pages to redirect?

Sometimes you just have to put the effort into making the new better, and it's a hard long slog especially against a well funded incumbent.

But like all problems in PoE, PoE2 will fix it. ;)
Jimbo is a dyed-in-the-wool libertarian, and as such I find it unsurprising that he has created both a wonderful, decentralized, communitarian project as well as a capitalistic nightmare. Libertarians are essentially anarchists who selectively turn their brains off when they see dollar signs.
Just because there happens to be economical viability for a field currently doesn't mean that field needs less introspection. Exactly what research contributions the people who are throwing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of GPUs at the next random "research" problem at the top of the queue at Microsoft or Google are making to deserve a Nobel?

Too often there is near zero intuition for why research in AI yields such incredible results. They're mainly black boxes that happen to work extremely well with no explanation and someone at a prestigious institution just happened to be there to stamp their name on top of the publication.

Big difference between research in AI and any non-computational/statistical/luck-based science.
This is an excellent and insightful article, but it feels like it was speech-to-text and the author didn't take the time to clean it up before posting it. It's a little distracting.
Can we flip it? Some companies are explicitly structured to guarantee enshittification.

Venture capital/private equity is what causes this. We've been poisoned to believe that websites should exist purely to achieve hyperscale and extract as much money as possible. When you look at the real physical world there are tons of small "mom and pop" businesses that are content with being self sustainable without some special corporate structure to legally require that.

Maybe websites could be the same?
There's a big practical difference between chewing coca leaves and smoking crack. Also, the shift in personality and tone from Bush to Trump are... not small. The inconoclast and anti-establishment things are intentional, effective and, as you note, somewhat hypocritical branding on the part of Trump's PR team. After sitting through a few of his full length >1hr "speeches", it's incredible (in the strongest, most literal sense of that word) that he can even exist as a viable political candidate. If he were magically teleported back in time to the GW Bush years, current Trump would be laughed out of the room in pretty much any political setting.
Well, this wasn't on my bingo card for 2024. Then again, if the last couple of years should have taught me anything, it's that trying to predict Nintendo's decisions in advance is a fool's errand. It's the same company that brought back all three Mario RPG subseries in the course of a year after all...

Regardless, I'm not sure what to think about this. The price seems too high, and I don't trust IOT devices even when their creators have experience in that market, let alone with a company as bad at internet functionality as Nintendo at the helm.
Totally fine to paint in broad strokes, and I would probably lean towards that perspective myself. However there are some games that show off the programming more than others, at least in motion. Movement based games, like technical platformers or similar, have a lot of expression through the systems that govern them. Whether or not a game feels good is fairly easy to figure out after spending some time with it, but understanding what would make it feel better and how to achieve it is a much harder skillset to develop. Obviously non-programmers can work out in high level terms what might improve game feel, but I think you can get much better results when you have deep understanding of how things work, what's possible, and what side effects may fall out of a given change.

That said, some of the most fun mechanics are born out of happy accidents involving interactions that weren't fully considered so it's definitely not a constant
Should mention the pessimistic possibility that Fandom buys WG and those wikis return under their umbrella. An example being Wowpedia forked off WoWWiki in 2010, moved to Curse's Gamepedia in 2013, which, Gamepedia, Fandom (then Wikia) bought in 2018.

edit: Seems they moved again recently to wiki.gg.
kaikai says "It’s wild what people will do in order to keep people from getting something they don’t “deserve,” even when it’s literal trash."

But you haven't "stood in the other man's shoes" and seen it from his/her perspective.

Businesses are strictly regulated. They are required by law to dispose of certain old/damaged/discarded foodstuff and are not allowed to sell it for human consumption. Likely a second company (and possibly a third, since storage and hauling may be done separately) was hired to store the food in a container and to haul the food away as trash. The company signed a contract stating so.

Now you

1. entered his property (trespassed),

2. entered a dumpster (a second trespass possibly of a second business),

3. removed goods (theft), and then

4. passed/sold them to others (violating untold food laws)

and then are surprised someone tries to stop you!

Worst of all, consider if, while dumpster diving, you hurt yourself or even died? The food business would be sued and his insurance company would likely pay. You would have nothing to say about the decision to sue: your insurers and/or medical providers would pursue litigation against the food vendor even were you to oppose their actions.

As you can see, in this interpretation there is no particular question of what one or another person "deserves". Rather it is a question of law, property rights and civic responsibility.
I wish it was more common in public discussion to speak in terms of Quality-adjust life years (QALYs) or other relevant metrics.

That's another great example!
How is that different from the thing Norway might implement? Besides the obvious difference of the US exit tax seems to be about citizenship while the Norwegian one seems to be about residency of the company itself.
Show HN: Oss.gg – Gamified open source contributions
it's a community-developed product to automate and incentivize both code and non-code contributions to open source projects.

we've launched the public beta with a hackathon during Hacktoberfest.

the folks on reddit hate the engagement bait.

i think many folks exchange reach for a pot. monetary benefit, we're just giving everyone the chance to do so.

for maintainers oss.gg automates a lot of the overhead that comes with managing hundreds of contributors.

what do you think?
Yeah also heroku and the whole generation of “PaaS”

I was never quite sure why we got the name “serverless”, or where it came from, since there were many such products a few years before, and they already had a name

App engine had both batch workers and web workers too, and Heroku did too

They were both pre-docker, and maybe that makes people think they were different? But I think lambda didn’t launch with docker either
Your correction is incorrect; the gp commenter cited TFA correctly. Perhaps it’s worth a closer read:

> All told, they estimate tropical storms since 1930 have contributed to between 3.6 million and 5.2 million deaths in the U.S. – more than all deaths nationwide from motor vehicle accidents, infectious diseases, or battle deaths in wars during the same period. Official government statistics put the total death toll from these storms at about 10,000 people.

I’d gently suggest that it doesn’t add much to your argument to refer to entire regions of the richest nation in history as “3rd world dumps.” Things are far from evenly-distributed, but the problems facing the Southeast US are mainly pretty different from those facing most of what you’re referring to as the “3rd world.” It’s not really a very reasonable characterization, and it comes off as antagonistic and unsympathetic.
