> Non-trivial data structures are often just a bunch of arrays/maps with additional semantics

This might be fine for code which consumes data structures implemented by other people. The approach is not good when you actually need to implement data structures in your program.

In modern world this is especially bad for a low-level language (marketed as high performance, BTW) because the gap between memory latency and compute performance is now huge. You do need efficient data structures, which often implies developing custom ones for specific use cases. This is required to saturate CPU cores as opposed to stalling on RAM latency while chasing pointers, or on cache coherency protocol while incrementing/decrementing reference counters from multiple CPU cores.

Interestingly, neither C++ nor C# has that boundary, for different reasons: C++ is completely unsafe, and safe C# supports almost all data structures (except really weird ones like XOR linked lists) because GC.
I'm surprised as well, google did not tell me much there about the high wage either, still have no clue
Yes but it's tiny compared to Google Revenue and when I messed with it, it wasn't 100% certified for Government use. Meaning if you used it for Government, you could only use select products vs Microsoft and Amazon which certified almost all their products.
But isn't the burden of proof, and thus most of the litigation costs, on the patent troll?

The court can't just assume that you're violating their patent because they say so, they have to prove it to a reasonable level, right?
>the cumulative inflation has been 21%. Inflation has also mostly returned back to normal. The last few prints were around 3% YOY. In light of all this, 50% over 6 years is ludicrous.

Only of you think 21% raises makes up for years of lost costs, and ignore what inflation did to the rest of the economy that did not in fact come down.

>The difference is that pensions are "earned" through years of service, and are agreed on ahead of time

>Asking for payments for no work being done.

Sure, like a union contract. Or a job contract with pension. Given the amount of employee contracts broken, employees need to play hardball. Why would I sympathize with people have historically broken contracts in spirits.

They've proven they need actual, immediate consequences, because even suing them is just a stall tactic. I have no sympathy.

The work is done and still utilized. Thars how royalties work. Peolel who hate pensions say the exact same thing, "why am I paying this worker who isn't working"?

Shakedown makes it sound like the poor USMX is some small businessman struggling to stay afloat.

Meanwhile they are paid with our money. If they can't keep labor happy with my tax dollars then they reap what they sow. The workers getting the money they deserve is great.

Yes? For society in general, for professionals in criminal justice system and also to some extent even victim as well, it is lot harder when there is no motive.

Perpetrators without motive can not be negotiated with, punishment may not a strong deterrent, rehabilitation is lot harder. Economic crimes or crimes of passion or ones as a result of addiction can have a path to rehabilitation and recidivism can be solved by tackling the underlying issue like poverty, addition etc. Even solving crimes without motive can be harder as there is less assumptions we can make about the perpetrator.

Wait do people wear their watch on their dominant hand? I can’t do that, need to use that hand to manipulate the watch. Maybe because it’s a smartwatch.
While I do agree with you, that doesn't really impact salary all too much. Allow me to explain.

Taxes, Housing, Transportation, and Insurance is what eats up most of your expenses anyway. Housing varies wildly across the world. Many parts of the US now cost > $3,000 /mo to rent a median home. Most of those homes are probably selling for ~$500k putting your mortgage at current interest rates in the same ballpark of $3k /mo. For somoene making $120k that is 1/3 of their income. For someone making the national average (around $70k) that is 1/2 their total income. Just to mention, those areas (Seattle, San Fran, NYC) where you see $250k-300k salaries, those people are paying much higher than these figures. Probably $5-6k in rent or buying modest homes that just happen to cost $1.25M-1.5M

In the US you also can pay $1,000 (or more) /mo for health insurance. Most other parts of the world don't have this expense.

As of 2024, the average price of a new car is now $47,000 in the USA. Now not everyone is buying a new car but the used car market swells based on this figure.

Then you pay 15-30% in taxes on average for most people here.

So You add all that up and probably 2/3-3/4 of your money is gone.

I agree with you that things like clothing, consumer goods, software, meat, and oil are largely comparable globally now, but these goods only account for probably 10-20% of a person's monthly expenses.

Not to mention retirement. Because all these costs are so high, it means I need to put a larger percent of my paycheck to retirement so I can survive a few years of not working before I die. When basics like healthcare and housing are as high as I outlined, it means more money needs to go to retirement, which is money that can't be spent on these basic goods that you mention.

So yes, these goods you call out are in fact comparable around the world. But they only account for a relatively small portion of someone's expenses. The outstanding expenses are the most variable (housing, transportation, insurance, taxes).
Well then the monopoly still isn't bad, because they can still be brought down solely by merit (just that no one have done it yet). Unlike government-enforced monopolies that'll stay no matter what they don't even have to do R&D.

The only sport where I am much better lefty than righty is table tennis -- probably because to play at higher levels you need fine motor skills, not just brute force.

That's one of my favorite scenes in Minority Report. It's even better that they used a real company (Gap) which likely paid to have their store depicted as a dystopian hellscape.

If you are a divorced parent with shared custody, this can be challenging if you live in another town or even in the same town due to how they draw school boundaries. The child can only take the bus that is tied to the custodial parent's address so the other parent is on the hook for transportation to/from school.
Depends on what you're developing and what you want. I got a mid-level AMD based Acer. I don't even remember the specs but something like 6-8 cores and 16-32GB RAM, and probably on yhe lower end of that range. After removing the bloatware, it works just fine. It cost about $450 from ANTonline. I do smaller personal projects on it, with the most resource intensive being some Android dev with emulation, or maybe some "small" big data analysis. If you were running multiple large servers for a single project and running performance tests, then I'd probably get something beefier. Anything graphics intensive would benefit from a discrete graphics card. At that point, you might be better off setting up a desktop or workstation and just remoting in from a cheap refurbished thinkpad.

Even in Silicon Valley, not all large employers pay FAANG rates. In general, older, “enterprisey” companies (think HP, IBM, Cisco, and Intel, to name a few) pay considerably less than FAANG and its peers, which tend to be younger and sell consumer-facing products and services.

How do you manage GitHub contributions across multiple accounts?
My two last companies required engineers to create a GitHub account to get repo access. An unwanted side effect was developing large gaps of no activity in my GitHub. While I often recall that tweet which jokingly stated something along the lines of “my GitHub activity is blank because my code makes money”, I wonder: how do you all deal with this, does it bother you at all?
For all I know, they've given the private data to an organisation dedicated to alerting people about breaches. If they fear that the data may also have been accessed by others, that's not a reprehensible thing to do by itself. Besides the DDoS apparently being from the same author (which seems odd because those ethics are incongruous), I don't know what else they've done so I don't know that it's in violation of what you linked
They have two distinct purposes: anonymous functions, and closures. Those often go together, but there are many scenarios where you only care about the latter, and don't actually need the former. Named lambdas (i.e. lambdas assigned to local consts) covers this case if the language doesn't have dedicated syntax for it.

Not much money and bandwidth if you aren't on a metered connection. You can share tens of gigabytes or more on a cheap read only flash plugged into into a $25 single board computer that draws way less than a full PC and can be left sitting there near the router. Just limit its bandwidth on the torrent client and you won't even notice it during online gaming. The client can be as small as the Transmission daemon running headless on one of the many Debian based embedded distros: all control through either the web interface or from its client: no monitor, mouse, keyboard etc. just a small cheap box.

There are many choices here, such as never setting outerHTML but only innerHTML/nested content. Also, "processing responses in order" doesn't necessarily mean "immediately mutate DOM for each response", eg. defer if there are in-flight requests and aggregate changes. htmx arguably gives you too much flexibility which is why there are no straight answers that work for all scenarios.
> How long does an average hard drive last?

This is a great question, and a state of the art kind of thing.

HDDs are sold with a lifetime drive read/write amount and power cycle warranty, along with usually some environmental operating envelope. read/write relates to the quality/space of the platter, power cycle is usually the actuator & read/write head being reseated/wearing out. Environment is the same as all other devices in a DC.

Most folks replace drives when they die (reads/writes stall or return garbage), or when the warranty runs out. Some will pay for a warranty exception, and some will just use the drive outside of warranty. Depending on how you use the drive, what environment it's in, etc changes how much you can push things.

I'd say anywhere from 4-8 years, depending on how it's used. In many cases it can be cheaper to have a worse environment for your fleet (thus using less power on hvac) and replace devices more frequently.
I've never been a fan of aliasing new commands to coreutils commands. Just use the new name, or make a unique alias.
Nope it isn't. You just aren't experienced in system programming. Working with hardware is unsafe since it has state that one cannot completely encapsulate in a single program. The entire specific design of a chip isn't available to programmer; only the machine code is. We usually don't know how a processor decides to cache things or switch to kernel permission level. Usually this isn't even the level we're at, OSes have private internals that change behind the programs and they are not accessible from user space. Pressing Ctrl+C to interrupt changes so many things in memory, it would be outright impossible to write programs that handle every single thing.

The fundamental / syntactic promise of Rust is providing mechanisms to handle and encapsulate unsafety such that it is possible to construct a set of libraries that handle the unsafety in designated places. Therefore the rest of the program can be mathematically proven to be safe. Only the unsafe parts can be unsafe.

Coming from Java or Go or Js or Python angle wouldn't be the same. Those languages don't come with mechanisms to let you to make system calls directly or handle the precise memory structure of the data which is necessary when one is communicating with hardware or the OS or just wants to have an acceptable amount of performance.

In C++, the compiler can literally remove your code if you sum or multiply integers wrong or assume the char is signed/unsigned. There is no designated syntax that limits the places possible memory overflow error happen. The design of the language is such that some most trivial oversight can break your program silently and significantly. It is too broad so it is not possible to create a safe and mathematically proven and performant subset with the C and C++ syntax. It is possible with Rust. It is like the difference of chips that didn't have a hardware mechanism to switch between user and kernel mode so everything was simply "all programs should behave well and no writes to other programs' memory pinky promise".

Rust doesn't leave this just as a possibility. Its standard library is mostly safe and one can already write completely safe and useful utilities with the standard library. The purpose of the standard library is provide you ways to avoid unsafe as much as possible.

Of course more hardware access or extremely efficient implementations would require unsafe. However again, only the unsafe parts can cause safety bugs. They are much easier to find and debug compared to C++. People write libraries for encapsulating unsafe so there are even less places that use unsafe. If people are out of their C++ habit, reaching for the big unsafe stick way too often, then they are using Rust wrong.

Whatever you do, there will be always a need for people and software that enables a certain hardware mode, multiply matrices fast, allocates a part of display for rendering a window etc. We can encapsulate the critical parts of those operations with unsafe and the rest of the business logic can be safe.
Hello, I will be using your app soon. I was looking for something playwright related for the website I am making. I am so glad that the price is not "contact us".

I noticed in your video that Donobu does not move the mouse to the search box before typing in it. I hope this does not trigger captchas or anti-bot protection--I was thinking of adding "Firebase App check" to my website since Firebase recommends it to everyone and it uses "Recaptcha Enterprise". not sure if this will turn my website into an "adverserial website".

I think Donobu would also be a lot more helpful on mobile since there are more phones than desktops in general. I was looking for some kind of automated mobile testing and found none. quickest way I can think of to add that is using the new iOS 18 with desktop control of the phone.

I think you could "easily" translate this to arbitrary desktop control test software. or make some other agent software that does. if you don't someone else will https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxcFMelp1K31l7pH0Sbghb4sJ-eF0O8-x...

>Where does the money come from if it doesn’t come from the people who get things from the ports?

In addition to fees from traders: our tax dollars? The USMX isn't some fully private company, it's a mixture of government funding and various private contractors. As long as the US needs ports they will budget for it.

>but we all pay in the end for these contracts, the money doesn’t come from some magic source, in the long run inefficiency and higher costs get passed on one way or the other.

Yes, to us. Becsuse the USMX isn't in risk of going out of business. They have little skin in the game. So we lose either way. If I'm gonna lose I may as well make sure others get something out of it.

There are people still working on trying to make it happen but it's just a collosal amount of data and filesystems are notoriously hard, so it's very slow going.

From my own personal experience doing distributed archiving with no relation to Archive.org, Filecoin/IPFS's UX isn't quite there yet. They still don't let you serve data to the network from a normal filesystem, you have to let their system ingest all of your stuff so you end up double-storing data or you have to give into everything being stored as inscrutable binary blobs.

That's why I still haven't integrated ArchiveBox with IPFS/Filecoin/Storj, let my data live in a normal filesystem dammit!
How do you unit test a local function that is a closure in pure functional code?
Yeah. Google is far less locked in than Microsoft. Gaming across Windows and Xbox vs Sony/Nintendo. Office is used by almost every org in the world. Azure locked in via clickops IT staff always wanting to pick it; you have to make a big case to use GCP or AWS in a lot of companies vs "just" using Azure.

Google's search advantage could be taken away with another website that's better. There's no installed base or corporate lockin to contend with. Same with email. Same with maps. While Google uses data from each of these services to better target ads at you, the services are not very tied into each other, and you could easily grab one of those services away from Google if you just provided a better standalone service.

To me, that's not a good case for breaking up Google.
Just like ever single proxy written in Go, it just uses the core httputil library with a shit ton of custom code on top of it.

Anyone who writes Go does not need any of this. And those who do not write Go, can still write their own in no time because it is literally couple of lines of code. No harder than running a webserver in Go(two lines of code).
