If you tariff a small section of the economy, you aren't going to see much movement. Producers can adjust by moving production abroad (to avoid raw input tariffs) and by moving production to home (to avoid final assembly tariffs) (often a combination of both).

Trump's 2018 tariffs were narrow enough that they were easy to digest. Trump's 2025 tariffs are fairly broad and we won't be able to move production around in multiple places to deal with it, so much of the economy is going to eat the cost directly. So if money supply stays the same, Americans simply reduce their lifestyle to compensate (buy 25% less stuff, eat 25% less food), but I don't think that Trump (as someone who is addicted to excess) will see that as viable, so money is going to be printed and injected into the economy somehow.
It's the ability to find a simple model that predicts a complex reality with a high accuracy and low latency. So we need to consider the four axes, and AI will be a region in this space.

Edit. In fact, there is a simple test for intelligence: can you read a function in C and tell how a change in input changes the output. For complex algorithms, you have to build an internal model because how else are you going to run qsort on million items? That's also how you'd tell if a student is faking it or really understands. A harder test would be to do the opposite: from a few input/output examples come up with an algorithm.

Microbenchmarks: Java Locks vs. Atomic

It's "just a browser" in the same sense that the Linux kernel and GNU are "just an operating system".

It's one of the most complex pieces of software - perhaps even human designed systems - ever to exist and we're using it to render a few polygons and drop shadows because the C++ committee made a bunch of mistakes decades ago so now our webdevs are mortally afraid of CMake and Qt/QML. Or GTK. Or whatever. Pretty much the only people that seem to put out native GUI tools in any significant quantity are Apple developers.

The tradeoffs that Blink and V8 engineers have made to support the entirety of the internet and the morass of web development precludes efficient use of resources for simpler purposes, like rendering an animation. After all, there a billion React hooks and ad tracking scripts to optimize, otherwise bounce rates will increase.
It's not obvious where to draw the line on fiber vs starlink, both have a place for sure. Fiber should be about 10x the bandwidth, and half the latency, so it's preferable and should scale better in dense areas where wireless would struggle. But for sure go rural enough and satellite makes sense.
I guess the question is who do we trust to draw that line?
Notably the old line was drawn I believe without an intent to slight starlink.
I'm aware of plenty (though I have surveyed at least 20 formats in the past and so that would include more obscure ones). At the very least, you can feed it back to sscanf if you are fine with an ordinary float or double, a thoughtful API would include this as an option too. That's what I expect for the supposed bignum support: round-trippability.
Safer? Do you mean the opposite?
Yes, as reasonably as it could have. The aggressors lost and were punished.

Do you know that military aid to Ukraine is mostly an old crap which is quite expensive to get rid of in a peaceful way?

Instead they send it to Ukraine on inflated price and all money goes to the US manufactures to make a modern weapons instead.
As an aside, I like the implied job description in the article:

- Hiring and retaining great people.

- Owning the team's strategy and roadmap, and ensuring efficient execution.

- Making decisions to ensure that the team is working on the right things and saying no to the things that don't matter.

- Dealing with fires, escalations, and other crises that pop up all of the time.

- Building a strong culture within the team so that people are engaged, challenged, and motivated.

- Mentoring and coaching your reports so they get better and can have more work delegated to them, thus increasing output further.

- Managing the team's stakeholders so they can offer their steer to the team early and often.

- Actively performance managing the team so that superstars can continue to shine and underperformers can be coached or exited.

- Building close working relationships with other teams so that smooth collaboration happens across the organization, leading to a better and more cohesive product.
Why does the IMF care so much about what the public sector does in El Salvador? This is really strange?

I mean, off the top of my head the only reason I can see if that they don't want Bitcoin becoming popular, because they can't control it?
One of the best ways to get rid of someone is to recommend them highly to an open position somewhere else. Sometimes a higher level position, or management.

Writing transaction code wrapping a user provided function which can error or panic is a real pain to get right. If the user code panics there is no error if the user code succeeded there is no error. So you have to call recover on success.

> Even if this thing is 30% more expensive than a non-repairable toaster, I bet many consumers would pick the cheaper one, despite it probably not being the long term financially optimal decision.

Toasters are so cheap that I can't imagine repairing them could be cost effective (ie "financially optimal") unless you assign no value to your time. A new, good-enough toaster costs in the ballpark of $30. I love taking things apart and fixing them, but if the repair involves figuring out the part I have to order or soldering anything, it will take far more than $30 of my time.

This kind of project is for people who love to tinker. The economics do not make sense.
You need to give it a try
Given that you can’t recover from panics on other goroutines, and Go makes it extremely easy to spawn over goroutines, often times it’s not even an opinion, you have to handle it a layer up. There’s no catchall for panics.
It really depends on where (and when) you're going. I've had a decent number of partly full flights going to oddball small airports. But the big hub-to-hub flights tend to be nearly if not completely full.
Yes, I think that's what they mean.
Only at the very end does the article call out there is actually a performance aspect if you use panic and recover as intended.

> So it seems that panic and recover can be beneficial to performance in at least some situations.

Namely top level & centralized recovery handling. I'll also point out its important your panic recovery must happen in a deferred function if your kicking off new goroutines. For example, your server library probably has default panic recovery on the goroutines handling inbound requests, but any new goroutines you create as part of handling the request (e.g. to parallelize work), will not have this handling built in. See https://go.dev/blog/defer-panic-and-recover for more.

A lot of glyph based idiosyncrasies like that in languages scripts are artifacts of the era of physical block types before we had shit like hot cast linotyping where the blocks were made on demand.

What probably happened is umlauts were used a lot in German and some lazy typesetter wasn’t going to waste a perfectly good block sitting around that he could reuse

It indicates that either programmer or at least operator (if E.G. this is a critical data validation fail), some sort of human, intervention is required. The situation must be evaluated critically before any further work occurs.

I cant work for someone who doesn't understand what I do.

An unused sword rusts in its sheathe.

I remember working for a gent years ago, who was stressed out that my output was so low. He declared "I started this business in my living room let me show you I can do any job in this building"

He came to my workspace, where I had 20 servers stacked on my workbench. He looked at them. Attached a single power cord. And then wandered off telling me he could definitely do the work if he wanted to.

I dont think a manager of software engineers needs to code the application he manages, but he should be continually coding something to remain sharp.

TBH one of my current clients produces hardware and software, medium to large enterprise with close to 200 staff. Their CEO can operate all their products, operate the machines that place chips on the circuit boards, operate the injection moulding machines, write SQL queries to pull data out of their CRM and write code. He tries his best not to do it, but he maintains the skills. That's the goal I reckon. Someone who understands the job all the way to the top.

We ran these challenges at Matasano with the public, under a system where you could only get the next 8 challenges after demonstrating that you'd solved the previous 8, after I wrote an internal guide for our consultants on the cryptographic vulnerabilities they should be capable of addressing on engagements. What you're reading there is basically an internal README. They got very popular (many, many people have solved all of them without additional prompting), but we didn't really invest any extra time in cleaning them up or refining their pedagogy.
it only really does this for net/http, and it's considered a regrettable decision
lol agreed, also I’m of the opinion that if you want a working app it’s much more frustrating to debug a heap of code generated by an AI than it is to build yourself (maybe with the help of AI, if you really need it). at least with the latter if you really built it yourself you understand all the components (to a certain abstraction point at least)
They were able to nuke the west coast in the 90s. I don't think they have been sitting still with their ICBMs, the same ones that get your taikounauts into the space are the ones you use to deliver nukes.

Regardless, they only need enough to make nuclear war with them MAD, which I think they've had for a decade or so.

The release cycles seem to lead to an annual reshuffling of teams to meet deadlines causing quality issues for anything that is not an advertised feature.

Some of this could be resolved by open sourcing their less important apps like Files, Notes or Home which barely ever get touched, yet are full of quirks and bugs. Those apps should be public examples of good SwiftUI coding.
I code a little but largely on the periphery of stuff so as to not be in the critical path. I try to fix small bugs snd keep up with the code base but with nine reports I've got much other work to do.
It works as long as a country primarily spends its income on internal development. Today's Russia is a relatively prosperous country with high living standards, at least in big cities. Perhaps these standards are even higher than in some EU countries. And they are certainly higher than at any point in Soviet history.

However, to a large extent, this is the result of cutting expenditures on projecting Soviet influence abroad. The Soviet Union had enormous spending on subsidizing friendly regimes and their economies around the world, as well as maintaining a military presence. The same applies to some former Soviet republics that the USSR had to subsidize for decades.

I think we are observing similar processes in the United States today. They are attempting to cut spending and perhaps even reduce their military presence simply because they cannot afford it in the long term without sacrificing their own prosperity.
> I don't think this is a credible threat at all

While I agree that specific scenario is unlikely, the antagonism itself is a threat.

To illustrate: Imagine a person promises to climb through your window and kill you in your sleep, and you know they're a coward and that they physically can't scale 20 floors up the exterior of the apartment-building.

While that specific scenario isn't credible, you still need to be on-guard, since they could easily settle for finding your parked car and smashing all of the windows with a brick.

Corporate gRPC services are written with "if err != nil" for every operation at every layer between the API handler and the db/dependencies, with table-driven tests mocking each one for those sweet sweet coverage points.

I would love a community norm that errors which fail the request can just be panics. Unfortunately that's not Go as she is written.

Absolutely correct. It will never serve as a power plant. It's a giant experiment, that's what the E stands for. We should be so lucky that one day it will generate a few minutes of power :)
Entry level managers (supervisors in working class tongue) code. They are often player coaches and own a series of tasks. They work more than the other guys and are compensated more and on the manager path. They are lieutenants or sergeants.

Directors manage multiple supervisors and own a complete function. They are like colonels. They don’t code as their job is aligning with senior management and across teams/divisions/organizations. It’s political.

Larger companies subdivide this more.

Should managers know about what they are managing in general?

I know most people will say yes but many will argue they don't need to actually do it to have that knowledge. But my experience is that with software and IT, things just move too fast for that. Managers need to continuously stay active at some level to keep up to date enough to make reasonable decisions from a management perspective. Of course it always depends what you mean by "manager", if you just want someone to approve leave, check on project status and organise birthdays, farewells and christmas celebrations .... well yeah you are wasting someone who can code on that.

Awesome! Looks like it accompanied an apple trackpad, super sleek.

I'm also using nice!nanos in my projects, and they're great little devices. At this point I'd love there to be a good alternative using a dongle, though... I have a desktop PC that I want to use them with, and since they can't connect via Bluetooth at boot time, I always have to connect them to select a boot option and unlock my ZFS drive.

Having an affordable or open source controller that can do split as well as nice!nanos, but also switch between Bluetooth and a dongle is like the holy grail to me. I'd instantly buy 10.

> why the are Korean soldiers fighting for Russia

Isn't it better for Russia if Koreans die instead of Russians? It looks rational (but sad for Koreans dying in a war on the other side of the globe).
They might not care. Musk (et al) seem to be addicted to risk taking.
Russians have been saying the same about attacking Ukraine all the way until they actually did attack.

There are many signs Baltic states are next in the Russian annexation list. And if Russia going to win control over Ukraine - mobilized to Russian army Ukrainians will be in the first wave of Russian cannon fodder troops advancing through Baltic states.
> and why does Russia have to be USA's adversary with constant proxy wars against each other?

I can’t figure out if you’re being serious. They are the adversary of USA because they directly seek to oppose USA and the rules based world order it leads. Russia is the adversary of USA because wars of conquest in Europe are diametrically opposed to the interests of the United States.

> if USA decided to annex Canada, should Canada throw millions of lives in trying to take it back?

It’s up to the invaded country to decide how long. I know that if China invaded Florida, I would be very comfortable with UK sending USA weapons for as long as USA wants to try to fight the foreign invaders.

> I do not want to suffer economically so that Ukraine can kidnap men to send and die to keep some eastern territory.

Are you being serious? I’m sorry if you are, I just find it hard to imagine someone who is generally aware of the world could think this, especially since they are known Russian propagandists talking points. To be clear: America is absolutely not suffering economically as a result of supporting Ukrainian resistance to Russian invasion.
> US is getting more and more hate from literally everywhere in a very short time because of that. A lot is changing very quick and it won't take 4 years until Trump is gone.

Do you have a source for this or is it just some vibey rant? That last part seems ridiculous.
deferred functions still run, that's the shutdown.
Trump wants "wins", whatever they might be. No luck with rare metals - try with nobel prize.
I use BVCalc on iPhone/iPad/macOS since it has the best RPN mode of any calculator I have tried. It's the only calculator that shows you the algebraic expression (i.e., infix mode) next to the corresponding result value for each stack item, and it does this recursively as you perform operations on the stack! This helps you check for entry mistakes and makes it easier keep track of what each stack item represents.
I still use an old HP48GX occasionally as well as well.
No I didn't say that but extreme weather as a result of climate change is another major risk factor.

Look at what happened here in Spain in Valencia only a few months ago. Unprecedented in the region's recorded history. Yet it keeps happening more and more.

But I can see how the way I worded it suggests I meant that yes. I should have been clearer. What I did mean to say is that recorded history is like a microsecond in geological time and I wouldn't put too much confidence in predicting based on that short period.

But they are two different risks. Over exacerbated by climate change, the other indeed not.
Doing a personal project or contributing to an existing open source project can help you to get up to speed on new tools/frameworks.
