I wrote the first random semantic that came in mind, in the pseudocode in C above. The fact you believe it is not the right one is a proof that in C I can express the exact semantic, and in Python I can't (because everything is hidden inside how the Python interpreter can or can not implement a given thing).

So, modify my C code to match what you have in mind, if you wish. But the point is that low level code will specify in a much clearer way what's going on with memory, and in a piece of code that is about memory layout / access, that's a good idea. Otherwise I consider Python a good language for pseudocode. Just: not in this case.

Have a nice day, I'll stop replying since would be useless to continue. P.S. I didn't downvote you.

The first point is true, but most people do not choose it.

I do not think your second point stands. Almost the entire world is financially better off than it was in the past. Lots of third world economies are visibly richer than they were a few decades ago. Whose suffering are they benefitting from?
But then the narrative of "there aren't enough qualified people" collapses, and H1-Bs unjustified.
What filmmaker is going to put in all this effort and spend $30K to shoot videos for a single platform that no one uses? At the very least they need to ditch the proprietary format and support Quest and other headsets.
What you’re saying just doesn’t jive with the experience devs have when applying for jobs. You hear horror stories about juniors applying for hundreds of jobs. They are absolutely qualified for entry level work - they have CS degrees.

I have experienced applying for dozens, including those posted to HN: most won’t respond at all. Maybe months later you’ll get an auto-reject message. Or you’ll go through several interviews not to be selected, even while passing technical assessments. My colleagues and friends have similar experiences.

Arguably its because in many cases mass delusion is adaptive - it organizes and simplifies how groups of people behave. Religion is a cultural mass delusion (don't worry, I'm not talking about YOUR religion, just the other ones) with significant adaptive qualities, people argue.

Even more broadly, rationality and empiricism are extremely powerful tools for understanding the world, but they are also extremely difficult and costly to use, to say nothing of their known limitations at tackling complex systems. People have to and do believe stuff just to get through their day. I think this only becomes disturbing when its just one part of the culture which decides to believe some other complex of ideas than the mainstream one.

This is why I've written severe poisoning. It was never a healthy thing to do, but it took a case of "shit, people are actually going blind because of this" for it to stop.
In the late 90's I think, there was a movie where a neural device was created that allowed anyone to "record" their brain activity so that it could be replayed later by anyone with a device for that. But it became like a drug as people got addicted to it and couldn't stop living the virtual experiences of others (this was a long time ago so I hope I remember the story correctly)! Some people wanted to experience murdering someone, or having sex with a famous person... cool stuff :D Anyone knows which movie was that?

Anyway, this feels like the beginning of that.
It is a bad thing. And you say it like it's a dichotomy.

And I could certainly get most of the comforts of modern life with 5% of the force of globalization. House, food, bed, some reading material, etc. I don't really care for technology, and I use it because it's part of my work and livelihood. BUT, I could easily be just as happy living a simpler life.

Believe me, I've already thought about it. I could be pretty much as comfortable with WAY less global trade. Most people buy way too much clothes, use way too much technology, none of which makes life more comfortable.

> Hell, without globalization you wouldn't even be able to do your job, where do you think your Nikon's, Canon's and Sony's come from?

(A) My point is that if there were other forms of labor, I wouldn't be less comfortable.

(B) Again, I'm arguing for a reduction in global trade, not an outright ban. My point is that it needs to be reduced.

Is it hypocritical to complain about your government even though they make the country that you live in? Of course, I'm using the resources I have, but I could be equally comfortable in a different world. My argument is that our current world is not necessary and not optimal.
One point of note:

Nadia has a couple of people working with her as well - Rob does some stuff, and Abby is their Head Librarian (or whatever similar title, she's effectively an all-around assistant that runs their Librarian Corps in addition to doing a few other things).

Hardcover is similarly a 3 person team - one primary Dev (Adam, Founder and Lead Dev), one primary UI/ UX guy (Ste, Lead Designer), and one primary data guy (myself, Head Librarian, also runs our Librarian Corps).

Nadia is awesome, don't get me wrong. What they've done over there is truly impressive and you'll never hear me say otherwise. Hell, I'm a paying supporter and librarian over there, I think they do such great work.

But I do think that what we've got going on at Hardcover is even better, and I'll stand by that too. :)

ISO 20022 roll-out is well underway. Unless the US decides to extend it's war on the world to the rest of G20 the plan is to be done a year from now, and if I'm not mistaken the US is a member of the PEPPOL society already.

With more junior devs, I usually solve a problem together with them but I'm in the driver's seat. The best opportunity is when they come to your with a question. Just dive right into the code with them (this also shows them that it's "safe" to come to you with questions). It's so easy now with Slack and Zoom to ad-hoc jump into a session.

I'll talk out loud to myself and verbalize my thought process.

The objective is to show them tools, techniques, and approaches that they would otherwise not pick up. I'm not literally coding with them; I'm doing the coding and explaining my inner monologue for a given problem.

Tooling in particular can be hard to pick up. Even little things like the JavaScript debug console in VS Code can be a productivity changer.

For me, this has been very successful and I have helped more junior devs accelerate their careers. A lot of it is honestly selfish; the more I teach them to work and think like me, the more of my work I can hand off to them. In exchange, I get to work on more interesting things -- win-win

> We can blame the business for making an incompatible team

In my past few jobs I had many colleagues from India, and learning the cultural differences is extremely important. Teambuilding exercises are also a must - bring your cuisine to work is a stellar example: I brought both pão de queijo (a Brazilian thing) and sajtos pogácza (its Hungarian counterpart), and they brought some the best sweets I ever tasted. To our Turkish colleague's dismay, we all agreed Turkish Delight is not really a delight (but the Turkish colleagues recognized my Hungarian pogácza as some cross-cultural artifact coming from the Ottoman empire days).

What would you bring to this table?
Brainstorm (1983)?

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0085271/
Amazon doesn't have any extra power post-local stores. If Amazon ups their prices then the local stores reappear. In some weird future where Amazon completely obliterates small businesses it might take a few years, but it'd take more than a few years of good prices before that from Amazon to get to that state. The manufacturers always have strong incentives to defect from an AWS dominated equilibrium. They want middleman prices to be low, it means they move more goods and make more money.

Although I should stress I like the idea of buying local. If the money goes off to some exotic foreign place it is less likely that I will get my hands on it later on. Better to live in a wealthy community than a poor one, etc. Local capital is local prosperity.
The answer is neither is faster, because they finished at the same time.

Safety is not an extra feature a'la carte. These concepts are all inter-connected:

Safety requires unions to be safe, so unions have to become tagged enums. To have tagged enums usable, you have to have pattern matching, otherwise you'd get something awkward like C++ std::variant.

Borrow checking works only on borrowed values (as the name suggests), so you will need something else for long-lived/non-lexical storage. To avoid GC or automatic refcounting, you'll want moves with exclusive ownership.

Exclusive ownership lets you find all the places where a value is used for the last time, and you will want to prevent double-free and uninitialized memory, which is a job for RAII and destructors.

Static analysis of manual malloc/realloc and casting to/from void* is difficult, slow, and in many cases provably impossible, so you'll want to have safely implemented standard collections, and for these you'll want generics.

Not all bounds checks can be eliminated, so you'll want to have iterators to implement typical patterns without redundant bounds checks. Iterators need closures to be ergonomic.

…and so on.

Every time you plug a safety hole, it needs a language feature to control it, and then it needs another language feature to make this control fast and ergonomic.

If you start with "C but safe", and keep pulling that thread, nearly all of Rust will come out.
Globalization is one of the best things that has ever happened to humanity.

It allows whoever is willing to understand the peoples of the world share way more than what makes them different. Globalization, specially through the internet, but trade as whole, is my personal bet on what could "end all wars". In fact it is the first necessary step for the philosophical parts of the communist manifesto that are salvageable, the parts about the global coalition of common peoples working on shared goals and with similar baseline prosperity.
That might be true for Windows, on Mac OS I get perfectly reliable connections (years of usage with multiple mice) with Bluetooth. And I don't have to use any stupid dongles.

> The first point is true, but most people do not choose it.

Because they lack wisdom and human beings en masse operate on instinct, not wisdom.

> Almost the entire world is financially better off than it was in the past. Lots of third world economies are visibly richer than they were a few decades ago. Whose suffering are they benefitting from?

The classic reply of the economist. It's because the industrial world measures better off with variables like "life expectancy" and "money".

But a longer life does not a better life make, nor does money always equate to better off.

For example: if I could live next to a beautiful national park and walk there every day, that would be more valuable to me than a million dollars but living in a huge city. How does the prevailing evaluative mechanism account for that?
"What changed was not my productivity but the nature of the problem"

I think that's the source of the problem: it's impossible to measure the "work" required to solve most software problems. If you tell me to carry a stone up a hill, I can put that in a formula and know exactly how much work I'll have to do. But if you give me a ticket to do a DB upgrade, I can, at best, make an educated guess.

So by the time I close the ticket, how much work have I done, and how do I know whether the time I've spent it proportional to the work I've done?
> Not really: C structs notably don't have variable-length fields

Feast your eyes: C99 introduced an ~~abomination~~ feature called flexible array members (FAM), which allows the last member of a struct to be a variable length array.

If you want to ~~gouge you eyes~~ learn more, see section 6.7.2.1.16 [0].

> To add insult to injury, it does not offer a standard way to determine field lengths

That's awful. You can sort of say the same about variable length struts in C, but at least the strict tupe definition usually has a field that tell you the length of the variable length array at the end.

Hey, currently it works in Figma only. But I’m thinking to integrate it into more platforms. Powerpoint sounds really good idea to integrate into.
On (1), I grew up behind the iron curtain in a pre-internet age next to a village (no TV, no organized entertainment). The typical non-working activity there was not to enjoy the beauty of nature (as farmers they were fed up with it) but to be bored, get drunk and start fights with anyone non local. When the economy opened up in late 1980s anyone who could ran out to cities.

I will take technology and some globalism any day. My 2c.

> people are so deeply incurious. This seems to only happen in tech

It happens everywhere. If anything, techies are more curious than the average Joe. How many fellow programmers can you nerd-snipe with a comment that makes them say, “Well, that’s strange…”
Yes. For example 2 prime ministers of the last ten years were educated at the same school (Eton).

That it is (and similar institutions are) still massively over-represented in the life paths of the Great and Good is telling.
> And most sites only allow one passkey per account because all the mobile implementations can sync the private key.

Even when/if sites do allow multipe passkeys per account, the fundamental contradiction remains: Your backup key(s) are supposed to be kept somewhere secure where they won't get lost, stolen or destroyed, which ideally means some sort of off-site backup (at your bank or whereever), but at the same time every time you register for a new service you do need to register all your backup keys, too.
It is only good if you take a short-term, human-supremacist view of the world. If you consider all life to have worth independent of its value to humanity, then globalization is a horror. And then globalization and the industrial society is the cause of climate change, so it's only good in the short-term.
I worked in an Amazon warehouse for two different periods:

- for over a year part-time on weekends

- four-day full-time in-between jobs recently

https://www.reddit.com/r/EDC/comments/dmnuts/53mamazon_fulfi...

Once, when polled by HR, I noted that it should be more efficient for many different people in a given neighborhood to place orders, and for one delivery truck to run through it dropping off packages even if somewhat fuel-inefficient, than for that myriad of consumers to make separate trips even if using fuel-efficient vehicles.

Stores should not try to "out-Amazon" Amazon --- I buy my groceries from a store which is 1 mile away, and usually stop on the way home from work --- if I need something over the weekend or on a telework day which won't wait, I walk or ride my bike unless there is some other errand which needs to be made. Similarly, I prefer to shop the local hardware store (bike-distance) for hardware and tools (when suitable ones are available, if not, then it's Harry Epstein, or Jim Bode, or a trip to Woodcraft, or an on-line order).

Folks forget what life was like before Amazon --- there were occasions when I drove all around multiple towns looking for one connector because I didn't want a project to wait for a special order and 6--8 weeks delivery --- my kids were amazed when we came across my copy of the book: _U.S. Mail Order Shopper's Guide: A Subject Guide Listing 3,667 Unique Mail Order Catalogs_ by Susan Spitzer

Please spare us the "splaining" directly from official brochures (or is it ChatGPT? Sounds like it).

A country often resorts to IMF loans when they're pressured to do so, even when it's not absolutely necessary, and then they're blackmailed into reforms to help advance the neoliberal streamroller.

And we have a long history of how those loans and those changes turned out.

After re-reading my comment, you certainly _could_ read it in a smug/conceited tone. And I did explain my thoughts, they approach each logic problem with more novelty than I do, not for a lack of practice or ability, but for a lack of a mental model to map heuristics to.

But I will say that my comments to them, and here, come from a place of wanting to raise all tides, so to speak. There is no smugness where there is no (or little) ego, and I think you’re projecting yourself onto my comment.
