I am one of those old fogies. While some of the new things in C++ are not useful to me, there are a lot of things aped from other languages that make my life better. Those who are not interested in learning everything can sit back for a bit while those who eagerly jump to new things figure out what is good and what they can ignore (remember that each problem domain is different so we won't all have the same answer). For me, just using unique_ptr would be a major improvement.

Even the old fogies need to be aware of what is happening. I haven't yet done much Rust, but the advocates (when I cut through their Rust religion) are saying some things that really speak to my pain points and so I'm planning to learn it (and have been for a couple years - I may retire before I get around to it, but some new and shiny things are not just glitter and so it remains on my list)
I'd love to know more about what you mean!

Is it that with a bit more upfront investment (or 'delayed gratification'), a system might be able to find shorter (or less energy-intensive) paths through the space that they are navigating to get to their targets?

I think it certainly does seem like when there is essentially some 'computational slack' ('extra line' say, slightly over-provisioned or just set-to-explore more) I'd guess there's a good chance that that could yield a better (cheaper/shorter) result than a brute-force (minimal-effort, perhaps more technically 'efficient') solution?

Unfortunately I don't really feel like I really went anywhere with what I said, but your very short comment made me wonder many things about what you meant! Appreciated!

This is not the case for card networks. I know of no plan for Visa or Mastercard to move to ISO20022 and even if so I am certain it will not be complete within a year from now.
In fact, if they announced they were starting a migration like that, I would be dubious if it could be completed within 10 years, there are so many systems out there that would have to change.

On many other payment systems, yes, ISO20022 is or is becoming the lingua franca - e.g. FedWire is going to move next year.

You can’t compare those because they’re two different events. The World Chess Championship is unique among chess events because of the very long time controls (120 minutes per side, additional 30 minutes after 40 moves, plus 30 seconds per move starting from move 41) and the huge amount of prep time the players get to face only one opponent.

The prep time means players can stay within the top engine line for many many moves because they’ve memorized it completely. The generous time controls means the players have a lot of time to calculate the best move once they’re out of the prepared line. Lastly, the large amount of time increment after 40 moves (30 minutes plus 30s per move) means the players should be able to solve for draws or mates in the endgame. This is part of the reason Ding’s decisive blunder was so shocking: he had plenty of time but moved too quickly, not realizing his bishop could be trapped in the corner and traded off into a losing pawn endgame after he offered the rook trade.
I love "yin"! I have a few friends from western PA and love when they're around so I can use "yinz" freely. Neither of them really use it in day-to-day speech, it's more of a shibboleth of sorts (or whatever the term would be for "look at me, I'm from group X"). Whatever, it's a fun word.

Do you actually care that much about fast delivery?

My Prime membership ended 3 years ago. These days I just put items in the cart, and place order whenever it reaches $35. If I need an item in a hurry -- which rarely happens -- I go to a store to buy it.

This barely affected me, and I ended up with much fewer impulse purchases.

What's funny though is that the "standard" delivery often takes 5 calendar days. But AliExpress shipments can take as few as 8 calendar days. I ended up spending even less -- well, if the items are manufactured in China, why not just order on AliExpress where you get the same/similar items and pay less.

As I commented above, a large part of my umbrage stems from the impact these decisions have on my job. I dislike having to work harder because others didn't want to go above the bare minimum.

This isn't unique to any one company, nor my personal experience. At my last job, my team was initially human triaging practically all alerts, because we had the rare ability to read logs. I spoke to someone at Slack once who was stuck doing the same. That's an absurdly low expected level of competence.
I have stayed there for 2 weeks last month. It is indeed a distinctive experience. I managed to rent the smallest apartment I have ever been to. When I entered the room I burst out laughing at its size. There was basically nothing but a small bed and a toilet/bathroom where you could have showering while sitting on a toilet. It was definitely a memorable feeling to stay there. Every time you enter the building many (mainly Indian looking) man approach and try to sell you drugs, stolen stuff or prostitutes. I wandered quite a bit around because you always had to wait a lot for the elevator so I used the stairs to go to the 8th floor. There was piss and trash all over the stairs. At first day I was really close to changing my location but I eventually got used to the place. I have witnessed at least 3 fights during the 2 weeks staying there. On the last morning at 6 am when I arrived to the first floor after checking out I heard loud noises and when the elevator opened two guys fell inside fighting each other, accompanied by several woman shouting. I managed to step over them out of the elevator and left the building safely. It was chaotic to be honest. But at least I saw no bugs and rats. Overall I think it might have some resemblance to how it must have felt staying in the Walled City.

The way you make garbage collection deterministic is not by doing regions but by making it concurrent. That’s increasingly common, though fully concurrent GCs are not as common as “sorta concurrent” ones because there is a throughput hit to going fully concurrent (albeit probably a smaller one than if you partitioned your heap as the article suggests).

Also, no point in calling it “tracing garbage collection”. Its just “garbage collection”. If you’re garbage collecting, you’re tracing.

>Is it because you just don't like someone doing it more efficiently and getting "too" rich? ie dislike of big corporations?

That’s such an odd way to paint it.

When people live in a system with millions of quettallionaires and the bilion left are mere millionaires where 1 unit of currency is enough to buy the best meal in town with all towns in the world equally provided in services, the system won’t see much strikes happening soon.

When people live in a system where a small cake is growing at a slow rate and a few hundreds people are cornering always more of it at an accelerating rate, all the more when the extraction rate of the cake is known to exceed the cake regeneration rate, the system is well on its road for repeated strikes or even bloody social movements.

Ok, these allegories are two possible points in a spectrum. Which scenario is most likely to be closest to the world as its perceived by most people out there?

People don’t love or hate big corporations and riches out of the blue. If there are given room out of the vivid feeling that their life is a day to day struggle to survive, most people can perfectly demonstrate nuances in their judgment.
You're right. My wording was flat-out wrong, and I apologize. A more accurate sentiment (IMO) would be "that this happens in tech is baffling, considering..."
> going to be an interesting work flow for anyone editing this

We've had techniques for editing videos on underpowered PCs since the 1990s. Possibly earlier.

You use something called a "proxy workflow": For each 8K source video, generate a 480p "proxy" with the same frame timing but a much more manageable amount of data. You edit the entire film using the 480p videos. Then once you're happy you "render" the video - which swaps the high quality sources back in and produces an output file. The final render might take all weekend for an hour-long video - but you've only got to do it once.
The part missing from this analogy is that the low-hanging fruit pickers are slowly killing the trees.
I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone use "youse guys", but "youse" without "guys" is indeed a now-archaic New Yorkism. However, it doesn't have any particular connection to Italian-American New York other than the fact that "youse" was a native New York dialect formulation that US-born children of Italian immigrants, along with many other ethnic groups, adopted naturally. I understand that "youse" is prevalent in a number of dialects in Ireland and England and presumably spread to New York City through earlier waves of immigration from those places, assuming it wasn't independently re-invented. If I am remembering correctly, "youse" or "yiz" is used in dialogue in Stephen Crane's Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggie:_A_Girl_of_the_Streets) which depicts late-19th-century Irish-American New York characters.

My sense (as a native New York person who grew up around an older generation many of whom naturally used "youse") is that use of "youse" may have been somewhat correlated with being a member of a European-descent pre-WW2-immigration-origin Catholic-identifying ethnic group (so, in particular, Irish, Italian, German), but I'm not even sure that's so.

By the time I was growing up, "youse" was a class and (maybe secondarily) ethnic marker, largely rejected by the Baby Boomers and later generations in favor of the more nationally standard "you guys". If the seemingly redundant "youse guys" occurs at all it must be an odd conglomeration of the older and newer usage.
Without deeply looking into it, I'd expect that to integrate with SNAFU, you could basically write something like this:

struct SpanTraceWrapper(tracing_error::SpanTrace);

impl snafu::GenerateImplicitData for SpanTraceWrapper {
fn generate() -> Self {
Self(tracing_error::SpanTrace::capture())
}
}

And then you can use it as

#[derive(Debug, Snafu)]
struct SomeError {
#[snafu(implicit)]
span_trace: SpanTraceWrapper,
}

This will capture the `SpanTrace` whenever `SomeError` is constructed (e.g. `thing().context(SomeSnafu)` or `SomeSnafu.fail()`.

Why would there be? This seems like one of those "people living in squalor is their right!" statements by people on the outside that want to visit a human zoo. I suspect no one that was living there would choose to go back if it still existed. My friends from there certainly don't. They might have a few fond memories but so do war veterans.
Yeah C# is very well designed for gradually introducing low level concepts for performance.
In New Zealand vernacular, "youse" (or "yous") is the more common variant, and like "y'all" it is looked down on as being regional or a signifier of lower class. I disagree, English really needs a second-person plural pronoun, and I spent some time deliberately using it in speaking and writing hoping it would catch on. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

My solution for this is to keep gifts for the people I buy presents for in mind throughout the year, and buy things as I come across them, then, when it's time to wrap, my wife and I lay things out and decide what actually gets gifted, excess gets set aside for upcoming birthdays (which are both fortunately early in the year, Jan. and March) or possibly even the next Christmas, then come April I start in on the process again.
