I agree with you but the second point is actually good:

"When people would begin to interrupt me, I would continue on with my sentence regardless of them speaking, and I would finish my sentence. I would be prepared to let it get a little awkward if they don’t get the hint at first"

I think this one applies less in a friends setting and maybe more in the workplace but sometimes you have to put your foot down and insist you won't be interrupted.
Most languages are much older than we think. But early adoption is a key to geting to that point of when to "trust it". D isn't that much younger than C and its variants, and older than C#. But it never quite got that adoption to really push development to the point of C#

I do write makefiles de novo (including in corporate settings). But I start "backwards" with the "clean" and "distclean" targets, then get a single basic debug build target working. From there, I find it relatively easy to expand to larger and more complex operations. Brick by brick.
C++ has all of these except forward referencing declarations(though Importing Declarations requires modules which nobody uses yet).

I'm not sure why forward reference declarations is needed nowadays(or if it really is from a language standpoint).

C could probably copy C++'s constexpr & static_assert stuff to get the first 2.

I've rented a couple Ecoboost Mustangs, and I see the appeal.

315 HP is enough. It's faster than a Mustang Cobra from the 1990s or Mustang GT from the early 2000s. With the premium interior, the car is a surprisingly nice place to be for two adults - about as nice as the last BMW I rented. The back seat is usable in a pinch, and cargo space is adequate for daily driving and road trips. Maybe the fuel economy could be a little better, but it's easy to do worse. If the steering feel wasn't nonexistent even on the hardest setting, I think I might want one.

Sales seem to be OK: 44000 cars a year for an an enthusiast-oriented car is a significant number.
While the author has WAY more knowledge/experience than me on this and so I wonder how he would solve the following issues:

Evaluating Constant Expressions

- This seems really complicated...if you're working within a translation unit, thats much simplified, but then you're much more limited in what you can do without repeating a lot of code. I wonder how the author solves this.

Compile Time Unit Tests

- This is already somewhat possible if you can express your test as a macro, which if you add in the first point, then this becomes trivial.

Forward Referencing of Declarations

- I think there may be a lot of backlash to this one. The main argument against this is that it then changes the compiler from a one-pass to two pass compiler which has its own performance implications. Given the number of people who are trying to compile massive codebases and go as far as parallelizing compilation of translation units, this may be a tough pill for them to swallow. (evaluating constant expressions probably comes with a similar/worse performance hit caveat depending on how its done)

Importing Declarations

- This is a breaking change...one of the ways I have kind of implemented templating in C is by defining a variable and importing a c file, changing the variable, and then reimporting the same c file. Another thing I've done is define a bunch of things and then import the SQLite C Amalgamation and then add another function (I do this to expose a SQLite internal which isnt exposed via its headers). All of these use cases would break with this change.

Are there any thoughts about these issues? Any ways to solve them perhaps?
Wow, 2016, thanks for that.

I’ll add this gripe from Bunnie of Novena/Precursor/et.al. fame, explaining how he is mulling over freezing the rust version (in fact the xous OS repo has a fork of rust in order to build against something stable), from the most recent update on crowdsupply [0]

The Rust project used to care about Windows as a target, so this work-around feels like a bit of a middle finger to Windows users. Lately, I have been feeling like Rust (and llvm) is giving the middle finger to everything that’s not POSIX x86_64 running in a FAANG-scale cloud environment; they don’t worry about software supply chain security because they are the software supply chain, and of course they trust their own tools. I suppose they are entitled to do that, given who funds their payroll, but it’s not a good omen for projects like ours.

Nah, just SQLite. I had to learn a number of things about good SQLite defaults and habits, but that was years back before it really started to take off in this space. Now, there are tons of blogs you can refer to giving reasonable advice.

The highest-traffic site I run off of SQLite gets roughly 1 million hits per day. I run it on a VPS with 2vCPU and 4 GB RAM and it hovers around ~8% CPU utilization and 12% memory usage during peak hours. Last I checked, the database is handling about ~80 queries per second during peak usage, and clearly there's a ton of headroom.

If the site got 10x as much traffic, maybe I'd double the instance size. If it 100xed, maybe I'd need to upgrade from storing the DB on an EBS volume to storing it on a NVME drive. If it 1000xed... maybe I'd have problems? That seems like a pretty long way away, and in the meantime I get super simple deployment, replication, disaster recovery, and an easy route to pull down snapshots for debugging, etc.

WikiFlix – video streaming that uses Wikidata to find freely available movies
Nix for me has been a great source of stability. I used to run ubuntu and was never happy. Packages randomly broke, the UI lagged a lot, I always had to dig to get things working. One day when I head a uni deadline an automated updated destroyed my wifi funcionality. I had some experience with nix from work so in anger I installed NixOS. Wifi worked and I finished my uni assignment. Haven't installed anything else on my computers since, and that was 6 years ago. Sure things can be a pain. But NixOS has never broken in unexpected ways. I know if I update things may go wrong. But I can always go back and try again a newer version a few weeks later.

The biggest drawback is really that "random executable from the internet" does not work out of the box. And sometimes you have to spend a lot of time to package something yourself. But all in all It has saved me time and a lot of pain. I dare even say I no longer have a toxic relationship with my OS.

I’ve done some volunteering mentoring over the years. Burnout is on the rise, but not in the way I expected. The definition of burnout continues to expand as it becomes further embedded in common vernacular.

It was tough for us doing the mentoring because someone telling us they were experiencing burnout could have meant anything from a severe condition resulting from years of extreme effort against personal and professional headwinds, to the person who was simply bored at work and needed a long weekend with friends to recover.

I’m not trying to gatekeep, but rather point out that there is no longer a single definition of burnout. There are parallels to how conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorder are now being diagnosed in alarmingly high numbers, but when you look closer you realize that the common definition has been stretch far from the original narrow definition.

This creates some difficulty for people experiencing the deepest burnout. When their peers think “burnout” is just a word that means you’re kind of tired and bored in a way that can be easily fixed with a good vacation.

I’ve also noticed a growing trend of people with clear signs of depression mistaking it for burnout. These situations are very concerning for me because by now I’ve seen a lot of people quit their jobs due to “burnout” and then their symptoms get progressively worse, not better, because their real problems were not primarily the result of their job. This problem is becoming more common as “burnout” trends on social media and news headlines with empty advice. Your advice about being actively engaged in directing your own career toward something interesting is much better than the drivel that passes for burnout advice on social media and cheap news articles these days.
So it's actually worse and more scandalous than the clickbait headline claims. I guess that's an achievent on @photomatt's part.

Well, there is a matter of safety, and not wanting to be harassed for your opinions. Some debates are so heated that an opinion stated either way is going to expose you to potential violence if not, just verbal abuse through various channels. I think even though you should be honest about your opinion, it’s obviously better to avoid that harm so why not be anonymous?

Personally, I’ve also found that stating your opinion, and having it recorded and known to everyone, makes it very hard for you to change your mind. We’re very harsh to people who do change their mind in such circumstances because the first thing we see is a record of them saying the opposite, and then we ask them to explain themselves and judge them like it’s some kind of fault in their character. There are opinions I had when I was 18 years old that I think abhorrent. I don’t want to be associated with them. I’m very happy there’s no record of me having these opinions. I don’t want to have to explain my past like that just to hold the opinions I have in the present. I have found that process never really ends — i’m regularly changing my opinions on beliefs overtime . I wonder what opinions I have now I will look back on with shame. so I try to make sure that I don’t have anything recorded for the end of times under my name just in case I want to distance myself.

> Calling it "compute" might be part of the issue : insects aren't (even partially) digital computers.

I have trouble with that. I date from the era when analogue computers were a thing. They didn't have a hope of keeping up with digital 40 years ago when clock speeds were measured in the KHz, and a flip flop took multiple mm². Now they are digital computersliterally 10's of thousands times faster and billions of times smaller.

The key weakness of analogue isn't speed, power consumption, or size. They excel in all those areas. Their problem is the signal degrades at each step. You can only chain a few steps together before it all turns to mush. Digital can chain an unlimited number of steps of course. Because it's unlimited can emulate any analogue system with reasonable fidelity. We can emulate the weather for a few days out, and it is one of the most insanely complex analogue systems you are likely to come across.

Emulating analogue systems using lots of digital steps costs you size and power of course. In a robot we don't have unlimited amounts of either. However right now if someone pulled off the things he is talking about while hooked up to an entire data centre we'd be ecstatic. That means can't even solve the problem given unlimited power and space. We truely don't have a clue. (To be fair this isn't true any more if you consider Waymo to be a working example. But it's just one system, and we haven't figured out how to generalise it yet.)

By the way, this "analogue losses fidelity" problem applies to all systems, even insects. The solution is always the same: convert it to digital. And it has to happen very early. Our brains are only 10 neurons deep as I understand it. They are digital. 10 steps is far too much for analogue. It's likely the very first process steps in all our senses such as eyesight are analogue. But before the information leaves the eyeball it's already been converted to digital pulses running down the optic nerve. It's the same story everywhere. This is true for our current computer systems too of course. Underneath, MLC flash uses muplitple voltages, QAM is a encoding of multiple bits in a sine wave, a pixel in a camera is the output from multiple sensors. We do some very simply analogue manipulation on it like amplification, then convert it to digital before it turns to mush.
