>Read sockets were even-numbered while write sockets were odd-numbered; whether a socket was a read socket or a write socket was referred to as the socket’s gender. There were no “port numbers” like in TCP.

Back in the "bad old days" of the simplex NCP protocol [1], before the full duplex TCP/IP protocol legalized same-sex network connections, connect and listen sockets had gender defined by their parity, and all connections were required to use sockets with different parity gender (one even and the other odd -- I can't remember which was which, or if it even mattered -- they just had to be different).

The act of trying to connect an even socket to another even socket, or an odd socket to another odd socket, was considered a "peculiar error" called "homosocketuality", which was strictly forbidden by internet protocols, and mandatory "heterosocketuality" was called the "Anita Bryant feature" [2].

When the error code is zero, the next 8 bit byte is the Stanford peculiar error code, followed by 72 bits of the ailing command returned. Here are the Stanford error codes. [...]

> In essence, the EU is simply a massive tax burden on European citizens, benefiting only a handful of countries within the continent.

The tax burden is absolutely not "massive", either in relative or absolute terms. Money going to underdeveloped parts of the EU is by design. Helping them helps everyone. It creates a huge internal market and companies and people benefit, even from net contributing countries. There sure are issues to solve, but in pure monetary terms, the EU is a no brainer, just look at the UK.

I think they wanted to separate out four different concepts in the territory, needed a name for each one, and so picked four almost-synonyms for the labels on the map. We can read "tutorial" in their system as a technical term rather than its everyday meaning, just as "depression" has a particular meaning to a psychologist that might not match everyday use.

I guess that's still better than labelling them Type I-IV tutorials.

You’ve got an overly rosy view of what’s happening in the US and underestimating Europe. AI is big in the tech world, but it’s hardly moving the needle on the overall economy. Every 1% GDP growth roughly requires the equivalent of adding a new Google sized company every year, or as actually happens a more widespread increase.

Just as an example, Tesla’s 2024 Q1 deliveries where below 2023’s Q1 deliveries hardly a sign of rapid growth. https://www.statista.com/statistics/502208/tesla-quarterly-v...

SpaceX is facing the limits of how much people want to send into orbit. Plenty of growth in the next few years, but Starlink is only generating ~6 billion a year in revenue and not much else really wants to put that much stuff into orbit. Worse, Starlink is facing ever increasing competition from cheaper ground based providers especially cellular internet, so that business may start to shrink.

>But what's the point of making piano patches that sound realistic, except as a tour de force? It's sort of a "Pierre Menard, author of Quixote" sort of thing.

Because via modelling (not necessarily FM-based) they can be made more realistic or more expressive than pre-recorded samples (see Pianotte or SWAM for examples).

Also you can then make the piano tonal characteristics as you want them (instead of confined to a fixed real piano's sound).
> The US is not homogeneous and the people within the US most likely to regard race as an all important immutable inherited characteristic are also largely those least likely to accept self-identity of gender.

Personally I've seen two correlations in different directions.

Race is important to the swastika-tattoo crowd on the far right, no doubt.

Meanwhile on the left, a lot of people acknowledge a widening gap between rich and poor, and the loss of well-paid manufacturing jobs that can support a family without a degree. That even though the median family's situation has been improving for decades, a lot of people haven't shared in the benefits. To me this is obviously a matter of class.

But I look at American analysis and discussion, and 95% of the time they ignore class, and instead analyse it through a racial lens - reinterpreting the widening gap between rich and poor as a widening gap between white and black. The along comes Trump, and he gains a load of support from the white working class simply by acknowledging that yes, they are struggling.

So I can certainly see what graemep is getting at.

So this is a mixed bag.

I definitely agree that some conditions went undiagnosed or weren't even considered a disorder. Teachers who deal with autistic children will often tell you that there's almost this game of figuring out which parent has undiagnosed autism. 20-30+ years ago someone was just really into trains.

Going back further the baby boomer generation absolutely had a host of undiagnosed and untreated mental health issues, in part because they were raised by the generation who survived the Great Depression and WW2. Generational trauma is absolutely real.

And yes, there was (and is) a lot of self-medication that creates alcoholism and addiction issues.

While all that's true, a lot of my people my age or older (who were adults in the 90s) describe the 90s as the last great decade and there's lots of reasons for this.

First, the Cold War had ended. In the 1980s and earlier you had this ever-present threat of annihilation hanging over you. Go back even further and American schoolchildren would be doing duck-and-cover drills. I guess that's been replaced by active shooter drills. Oh yeah, school shootings weren't a thing yet either (until 1999).

Second, I cannot describe how different air travel was pre-9/11 if you didn't experience it. You see this in older TV shows and movies where non-passengers go up to the gates. Of course that doesn't happen anymore but it did.

Third, the cost of living relative to your income was unbelievable better. I remember paying $80 per week for a 2 bedroom apartment. The average house price in London was 70,000 pounds (now 700,000+). A friend told me about his college friends who lived in Iowa in a 4 bedroom house for $175 per month where they all lived very comfortably on $13,000 per year.

Fourth, crime (particularly urban crime) began to recede. There's a lot of speculation on why this happened. The two leading theories I believe are either it coinciding with 18 years after Roe v. Wade was handed down or that it's related to removing lead from gasoline. Politically, the crime hysteria shows how short our memories are. Look at any charts that go back 30+ years, not 3.

There was bad stuff too. We had Reagan and Thatcher in the 1980s. The 1990s was when New Deal Democrats gave way to Third Way Democrats ending 60+ years of near-total dominance (Republicans had held the House in 1952). We saw the 1994 Crime bill and the start of mass incarceration. Clinton and Blair completed the destruction of the labor movement and embraced (disastrous) public-private partnerships. The AIDS epidemic was in full swing still.

I do wonder how different this might've been if we had the access to information we have today.

Material conditions really peaked in the 1970s and have been going downhill ever since in real terms. The crazy thing is people who fetishize the 1950s and "traditional" life seem to forget the top marginal tax rate then was 90%.
Although I can appreciate your point about having some 'innate' desire for an activity like coding, I think this desire is just one of many factors in choice of work.

My own anecdotal experience is that because of several factors, I had to explore many things before I could figure out that I can actually learn to code, enjoy it, create useful things and be (relatively) good at it. All of this was necessary to actually be able to produce some code for a living.

Here's a list of some of the factors that may affect your desire, aside from some innate interest and intelligence:

- Having access to a computer at an early age and in the formative period

- Parental interest in computing and/or STEM

- Parental understanding of computing and/or STEM (informal tutoring)

- Parental pressure/expectations to pursue computing and/or STEM

- Learning disabilities (ADHD, dyslexia, numeracy)

- Introversion/extraversion

- Visible role models in STEM

- Addictions (gaming, social media, TV)

- Effective teaching of math and computing concepts as a jumping board

- Knowledge of English (given that most programming concepts were defined in English first)

- Early successes and/or rewards in coding/STEM as opposed to non-STEM

- Social valuation of programmers and STEM (i.e., "nerds")

- Parental socioeconomic status

- Number of siblings (e.g., with respect to competition or pressure to leave home early)

- False beliefs ("I'll never be good at math/coding")

- Learning consistency and discipline (i.e., spaced repetition)

- Knowledge of how to learn difficult subjects effectively

- Recognition of fun or social usefulness of coding (with respect to any other pursuit)

- Understanding of implications of choosing particular options (e.g., college prep, career progression) instead of others, at particular stages in life (12-18 years old, with family)

- Familial duties (caring for a parent/sibling, having kids early)

- Sunk cost fallacy (i.e., 3rd year medical school, working vs going back to school)

Again, intelligence and innate desire will play a role, but I think there is nothing genetic about loving to look at some text on a computer. Personally, I met enough intelligent people, STEM and non-STEM, who think they should've just developed a desire for programming because they're burned out, exploited, fatigued and/or underpaid. These aren't implications most could predict when they made significant career choices.
>Apparently, after termination of show after the move, the object is invalidated. This does not affect the Person object, but only the string object. Recognize that I speak about a factual behavior on the hardware. I think we have undefined behavior here. And no compilation error.

The std::string is not invalidated, it's reset to its empty state (i.e. null pointer and zero length). Standard classes are all in defined, valid states after being moved, such that using them again is safe. User-defined classes may be coded to be left in either valid or invalid states after being moved. It's the responsibility of the programmer to decide which is appropriate according to the situation. There are valid reasons to want to reuse a moved object. For example, you might want to force the release an object's internal memory:

std::string() = std::move(s);

It's somewhat unfortunate that there's no way to signal to the compiler than an object is not safe for reuse, though.

> This is a common misconception which comes from the fact that there are no federal required vacations.

You must never have been pressured not to take your vacation days or sick days. I think most people have been. I've seen people constructively fired for taking vacation, or even for taking their entire entitled maternity leave rather than cutting it short.
I still play it. Also, XConq it's a modern rendition of Empire, written in TCL/Tk.
I've never seen this definition of 'POD' tbh, 'Plain Old Data' kinda implies that it behaves the same as a C struct when copying and destructing (e.g. the compiler is able to use a memcpy for copying, and destruction is a no-op - both is not the case when there's an embedded std::string object).
the output is html, but when you're writing markdown thought flows to output more seamlessly, with fewer characters vs with having to close italics with the more awkward </i>. yeah in the end that goes through a tool and it outputs html, but it's about when I'm trying to get the ideas out of my head and onto the page.

> I didn't realize the loudness wars had "ended", though I suppose with a lot of streaming services normalizing levels across playlists, there's less benefit.

Exactly this. If you're destroying the dynamic-range of your song so that it sounds louder, only for it to be turned down based on perceived loudness (LUFS [1]), then all you're doing is making your song worse.

"Ended" might be an extreme statement, you still need to maximise loudness, but destroying dynamic range, to the extent that was happening before, isn't needed any more.

> I still find the convenience (especially when it comes to storage!) of digital worth the trade-off though

Me too. I play most music off Spotify, don't have an issue with that, just need to find out what everything I like was called :D

I was a DJ at a pro-level for a long time (from 1999), so vinyl was how I got fresh underground music each week. Going to record stores listening to what had just come in. Used to get vinyl promos too, but those have long since finished, all promos are digital now.

I haven't really taken DJing seriously for more than a decade now, but if I'm buying music to play then I still buy vinyl (again for the UX, not some pretentious 'vinyl is better' reasons). For home listening though, digital is better quality and easier to access. Personally, I prefer having the extra fidelity also.

> 10k records is quite the commitment - that must need a dedicated room?

Two rooms, under the stairs, and some are used as to partially acoustically treat my studio [2], although that doesn't make them particularly easy to access! Not all vinyl was made equal ;)
