I dunno man my salary is six figures and I’m an academic scientist living in the Netherlands. My life is much higher quality than the equivalent could buy me in anywhere worth living in the USA. Like I agree the salaries can be low but you simply don’t need to make 300k usd to have a nice life here. I have a flat in the middle of the city of Utrecht where I cycle to work and pop off to the pub after and the gym is two minutes walk and I have a 400m ice skating track twenty minutes bike away. And on the work side I have free compute on an 3000 cpu cluster with also an gpu cluster of h100s and lots of resources for travelling for conferences and other stuff like that. And a lot of my startup friends here are here specifically because they went to San Francisco and got investment offers around 1 millionish and then tried to hire around and all the engineers were expecting 250k+ and then came to Europe and found people just as good who work for 80-100k. That’s a completely different runway for them and they actually have time to develop a product because they don’t have to pay so much and their people are still happy with their lives. Like I do agree there aren’t that many jobs like mine and Europe needs to get their heads out of their asses and poach as many America based scientists and engineers right now as they can. But I think American based people have this idea of Europe that prevents them from seeing their options here. I do think Europe needs more resources and less bureaucracy surrounding big science projects but I’ll make that point when I have my own big science project haha.
Man, they ought to lose Java on generic-ness, let alone JavaScript.

Java was invented by Sun and literally nobody cares (nor is particularly happy) that Oracle currently makes a version of the JDK.

JavaScript is made by almost everyone in tech except Oracle.

If the courts don’t strike down this trademark it’ll be nothing but blatant corporatism.
we can focus on the future when the present isn't tearing down before us.

Sad thing is no one is really talking about this in any branch, so it's just theory crafting until then.

if you want to change that you need a huge voter base that is anti-partisan. Given that we can barely mobilize within parties to protest properly: good luck.

The US has the right to defend itself, or something.
Cool story, nobody removed “master” from git though
Thank you for the reply. As in all things, I'm prepared to be wrong, if that 7% is indeed even ballpark accurate.

btw I appreciate being called uninformed (which I dont dispute and find no offence in) rather than stupid or pigheaded or whatever. The point of talking about things is to share and increase our understanding.
Building nothing and being in even more in debt is the high IQ play.
Yes the US is uniquely fucked, really. At least the previous global hegemon fought two world wars to lose its place. The US is basically committing geopolitical suicide at the top of its powers because of gender neutral toilets and the price of eggs. A rather pathetic country and people, sadly.
I remember when they initially announced their plans here a while back and that actually held me back from pulling the trigger until I figured out that they updated their plans. $10/unlimited was an easy sell for me. I did consider maybe giving the $5/300 searches plan a try, but I actually wanted the inclusion of the FastGPT you can invoke by adding a "?" onto your query. Unlike Google and their inclusion of Gemini, it's nice that it's not there if I don't want it, but there if I do.

But on search and paying for search: I'm all for paying for search, but if I'm going to have a search engine set as my default, I don't want to feel penalized for my mistakes, and the most common mistake I make is simply not quite getting a URL entered in correctly and having my browser redirect me to a search page instead, and if I'm paying for Kagi in any capacity, then it's going to be Kagi.

If you don't want to read all of Arendt's book, https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/genocide/nazi_genoci... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung#Rise provides some details of the violence before and during Hitler's rise to power.

This line in particular is frightening:

> They thought that the Nazis were just another right-wing, nationalist party and that Hitler would be 'tamed' by power.

> Too much stress? I bet if you paid people so much money that they could work for 10 years and then either retire to a lower paying job, or retire entirely, people would deal with it.

Or pay people enough they can afford to work part time. A stressful job is less stressful if you only have to work 2 days a week.
> Americans were evacuated in a pretty crazy and expensive military operation

Which is a great marketing stunt that most countries (Germany included) couldn't afford, but otherwise, how often does it actually happen? I doubt they're spooling up Black Hawks to evacuate tourists every time there's a crisis somewhere.
How do other countries do it? Why is Ozempic $100/m in EU and $1000/m in the US. Cost to manufacture Ozempic is $10.
That's just building a new, worse legal system though, the blockchain ensures nothing. It has no additional force or protections then the current one.

I can speak to one instance of this (which was before COVID and the events surrounding George Floyd, so apply context as needed), but I took a class on networking implementations in low-budget and rural regions.

As part of the curriculum, there were distinct lessons (in this hard-science course) on feminist design, avoiding white-savior rollouts, and cultural relativism -- with much room to expound on their importance, and little room to critique.

I happened to agree with lots of the mindsets of these lessons a priori, but I was definitely acutely aware the whole course that there was an ideological bent, even in STEM.

The networking stack obviously had no viewpoint, but the course teaching it certainly did.
>For USPS imported package, you can't fine USPS

In those days, unless you were very privileged, you had to learn things from a maybe 1 book, maybe a magazine (some matrix printed stapled pages in my province) and, in my case, without having a computer for the first year of learning basic & assembly. I just had a 2nd hand book + those magazines and some old folk telling me I should learn it. When we did get a computer (borrowed), I knew listings by heart which I typed in, changed and explored. It was somehow nicer than instant gratification we have now. I worked out assembly listings in HEX (I did not know what an assembler was or that it existed) on paper in class (school was of course boring af) and typed it in when the borrowed computer was back. Very nice times.

How can Trump change tax law?
>the voters decide (through their elected representatives) what is a crime

In the long term yes, in the short term, no. That's the check and balance of the Judicial branch. In theory they should be insulated from the politics of the world and properly interpret laws based on various cases.

So you can't just, say, repeal the first amendment just because all your voters suddenly became anti-1A. They need to work to make a represenative base that can eventually vote in that new amendment. And that all takes time (in terms of culture and the bill proposal).
Seems like they didn't give enough.

Did you read the article? The section about "alarmists" and "troublemakers" is directly relevant to your take on the use of the word "Nazi". Some people have been calling Musk a Nazi for what, a decade? They sounded like alarmists a decade ago, but now he's literally doing Nazi salutes on TV, acting like it's normal.

If people want to group SMS they should open their phone's SMS app. If people want to group iMessage they should all open iMessage. If people want to chat on signal, they should all open signal.

Unfortunately, iMessage is bizarrely both iOS's SMS app and a custom signal-like chat protocol, but the user can't pick between the protocols easily and it switches between them in an opaque way.

It's just a bizarrely bad UX by a company that supposedly is good at UX, and the only purpose it seems to serve is to provide this broken green-bubble experience.

I'd much rather if iOS just had "iMessage" as an app without SMS, had "SMS" as an app for only SMS/MMS/RCS, and then allowed android users to make an apple account and install iMessage (possible with an optional 1-time fee to prevent spam, like having to buy a $700 iPhone and throw it away as a sorta "proof of work" in order to make a iMessage-for-android account. This isn't too different from how some of my friends do this now, with a mac mini in their closet for iMessage which they remote desktop into if they want to chat to iPhone using friends, and use for nothing else).
This is mentioned in the article:

> I don't think retention is a good metric for a dating app, unfortunately that's how VC evaluate performance of B2C apps. When we think about dating it is more about quality than quantity.
While there is no public documentation on Google's approach that I know of, there is also nothing to make me think Apple _can_ currently use it.

There is no authoritative mapping from an account to a single service (e.g. my email address as an Apple account vs a Google accounts vs a WhatsApp account), which also means that if all three of these services say they have an account for me and advertise a public key, there is no way to know that account or public key are authoritative. Google's implementation requires you to use both their client and their hosted service, meaning it almost certainly assumes that all E2E keys can be resolved authoritatively from a single source (Google's table).

You instead need a way to look up accounts in a secure and auditable way across multiple authoritative services, like the IETF Key Transparency work (that isn't complete yet).

It is also important to realize that Apple's support for alternative messaging systems besides iMessage is to meet carrier requirements, not user requirements. Apple's slow uptake on RCS AFAIK was because carriers themselves didn't care, until governments began to regulate it needed to be supported on handsets. The carrier RCS support almost universally is because Google wanted it for Android, which is also why Google's RCS hosted service is by far the most deployed by carriers.

The GSMA needs to define those carrier requirements for E2E RCS, and Apple has stated publicly they are working with them on that.

It matters in combination with the tax rate on the working population. There are huge transfers of wealth ongoing from the working class to the retired class of people, who are the richest generation in history. People need to wake up and protect their class interests an stop arguing for this German Ponzi scheme.

Could Congress support AI research and innovation by asking AI company CEOs found guilty of overpromising to prove the reliability of their latest technology by flying in AI-controlled airplanes and relying on AI-managed air traffic, instead of using private jets with human pilots and air traffic controllers? /s

And I'll never understand why. There's a lot of partisan issues but I thought "not fucking around with our money" was as bipartisan as a plutocracy could get?
I replied to your other comment but wanted to reply here to say that this is also probably a fair point. I guess I dont really see doctors as employees taking orders (dont doctors mostly own their own practice?) since theyre so highly paid, but probably thats how being a software dev looks to others aswell.

Im curious if you think malpractice insurance is also a significant, unnecessary cost? What if we made it harder to sue doctors? On the flip side, malpractice is still a real problem - probably not one that will be fixed by removing medical licences :D just hoping you see this comment since I am genuinely interested in your answer
I think this issue is a bit overstated. What people want is not to have interop with existing C++ code, but to just keep writing C++ in the same idiomatic style. And this just isn't feasible if you want to automatically ensure memory safety. It's especially problematic in larger codebases that can't be comprehensively surveyed, which is what people mostly want to use C++ for. So, something has to give.

Rust is a bit of a different story, because the clunkiness of Pin<> actually makes interop with C++ (and, to a lesser extent, C) surprisingly difficult in a way that might be amenable to improvement.

Government is not immune to the economics of things. There is an opportunity cost for everything.

Government has historically been far behind the pay scale curve for things like this, but that isn't the main driver of people not going into these fields.

There is a huge talent pool that simply will not apply for Government jobs. That is because the work environment is toxic. A special kind of parasite that walks upright on two legs rears its head where everything is about standing, and seniority, rather than production and results, and DEI is a big part of that.

The restrictions are also very high, for any G-man job. Government jobs have gotten the worst reputation, because quite literally any good person doing those jobs eventually trades their sanity for them. Its filled with personal cost.

It also doesn't help matters that the government actually created these problems to begin with. If you don't know what I'm talking about google the 1981 Reagan ATC strike, and how Reagan broke the backs of the ATC union labor movement overnight.

The system is fragile because its centralized. Single points of failure, and front of line blocking are some of the worst types of problems to deal with in highly complex systems because they often are not obvious except to the people whose job it is to design resiliency into the system.
The proposal shows an example on how to isolate environments without duplicating some code. It acts, more or less, as a template for the architecture which you render it according to the values (environments/accounts).

I agree it isn't a simplest way to do that, but I don't think that it add as much complexity this. Perhaps it could be more laborious for the point of view of architecture, but it could be easier to handle and maintain.

Personally would also go with a No Build set up. i.e. https://hotwire.io/ and import maps.

There are some options:

* Allow the people of Gaza to relocate to the illegal Israeli West Bank settlements.

* Emancipate the people of Gaza into Israeli citizens so that they can be lawfully relocated from Gaza to Israel.

I don’t see Israel going for any of those though. I just see apartheid.
This is a coup and we are calmly debating budgets. Debating the % of budget and how useful organization x is and if y will still get grant money, and, and, and... All of this is ignoring the big elephant in the room that there is one single person deciding everything that happens in government as if they were a king. The right thing to be debating is how we can stop this from continuing and how we can hold those responsible accountable.

Since the mid-2010s Apple has put every baseband / WiFi / Bluetooth radio either on USB or PCIe with an IOMMU that restricts access to only the pages required for networking and packet management.

It's funny because you can tell they barely discussed with actual girls:

They hate that, most girls registering on Tinder get 1000 likes in a week.

That's what changed the game, nobody bothers on Tinder because it's not mandatory whereas it works very well on Hinge.

No trolling/nitpicking from me: You wrote <<The only relevant reason he lists is point-free>>. What do you mean by "point-free"... or did you write "point three" and it was auto-corrected on a mobile phone?

GNU make now has a load directive which lets you load up functions written in C

-load my_module.o

Your makefile can contain instructions to build my_module.o and they will be automatically triggered.

For example you can create an equality test that works in an expression (ifeq can't be used as part of an expression obviously). For example

FILENAME=file.$(if $(equals $(compression_level),0),tar,.tar.bz3)

The C for this function (without includes and export directives):

char *
func_equals (const char *func_name, unsigned int argc, char **argv)
{
char *result = NULL;

if (strcmp(argv[0], argv[1]) == 0) {
result = gmk_alloc(strlen(argv[0]) + 1); /* not handling failure for simplicity */
strcpy(result, argv[0]);
}

return result;
}

This can be done with a macro but it's ugly and verbose. Macros also slow makefile parsing a lot and for a large build like e.g. an operating system this makes a big difference - it's a penalty you pay every time you run "make" even if you only changed 1 file.

There are plenty of things you cannot do with macros too. $(shell) is a getout card but it drastically slows down large makefiles.

Your module has a setup function which gets called when it's loaded and this adds the function into gmake:

int
equals_gmk_setup (const gmk_floc *flocp)
{
gmk_add_function ("equals", func_equals, 2, 2, GMK_FUNC_DEFAULT);
return 1;
}

Things that are hard/slow to do with macros like arithmetic - comparing, adding and so on are even better candidates. A hash function is great for generating intermediate target names that aren't too long for the filesystem.

My favorite one that I've done is embedding a python interpreter into make - this is very convenient as it's MUCH faster than running a process from $(shell) and it keeps state between uses which can be useful.
