that's highly opportunistic so what's your goal here? Some people can say Baldur's Gate 3 from less than 2 years ago. Others, Eldin Ring from 3 years. Some may even go more niche and suggest games like Undertale or Hollow Knight or go more artsy and suggest Orba Dinn. It's as subjecive as art.

Closest I can get to an objective answer would be Fortnite (since you aren't really specifying the kind of cultral impact). and that's "only" 7 years old or so.
The base 2 list is even shorter.
Making more stuff in the countries with the cheapest costs also means that people in those countries are being lifted out of poverty. China's GDP per capita went from ~350USD in 1990 to 12.500USD in 2023 and similar growth happened for India, Bangladesh and lots of other poorer countries. Globalization brought affordable goods to wealthy nations and better living standards to poorer nations. In addition, closer trade ties lower the likelihood of armed conflict.

Smart wealthy countries understand these benefits and move their own economies to higher value creating activities like deep research, high tech development or financial services. Less smart wealthy countries try to erect trade barriers to force a return of uncompetitive manufacturing...
There are lots of people (both in and out) perceiving Europe in different ways, but is this a result of facts or of repetition of some ideas in the news?

Can you give without searching 5 examples of large unprofitable projects in Europe and the USA?

Each time I look for examples, I find more than I knew before. And anyhow the purpose is not for the project to be unprofitable or large! If (just as an example) Europe obtains 50% of the result with 25% of the investment is that bad? I (as European) also want to live a good life, I don't care that Europe is that first at throwing money around like crazy.

And is it about size in monetary value or impact? Anybody talks about UK Bio Bank? No, while the impact on healthcare is amazing and they don't even try to make it for profit (ofc lots of US companies are crazy to use it)...
always amusing when people realize that workers have and deserve rights in other parts of the world.
No regular frontend needs any of that. Serde support, that's a ridiculous requirement for painting some web boxes on a display.

Plus, as the other comment noted, the basic JS types go a long way now.
What I meant is, I think if 0 risk is your goal you're going to suddenly find non 0 risks everywhere. You won't find a 0 risk safe haven (if it isn't guns it will be a gas leak, accident of some sort), and that's a recipe for endless worry / lost life opportunities and so on.

Now picking a number is a little silly but OP picked 0, but if we did pick a non 0 number and did the math ... they might find the real risks far lower than they expect / find some piece of mind and operate a little more based on reality.
Yarn is still great. npm is ok. pnpm is a little faster than Yarn but has less features.
If you are afraid to travel to the US, I’d ask if you’re also afraid to travel to Asia, South America and Africa where risks are comparable regardless of gun ownership.

It seems that you would be cutting yourself off from a large portion of the world.
We have a jquery/Razor front-end that has a ton of global JS state manipulation and a file called 'common.js' which is a dumping ground for almost any function used in two places regardless of what it does. Many things are reinvented wheels (badly) and the previous team left a ton of XSS vulnerabilities in on top of that. Language differences from the previous offshore team mean things are named strangely to me, but even then, there's sometimes bad names for variables and functions.

Does it still function? Sort of. But most of our bugs are front-end issues because it's difficult to reason about any of the control flow. It isn't just obsolete or an unpopular framework, it's bad code.

There's no way I'm going to stay quiet about rewriting something like that if I want to stay at the company (spoiler: I'm quiet about it) and I don't think anyone else should be quiet about it either. This shit causes stress.
I lived in Chicago for 3 months and heard them twice a week (minimum), but I lived in the South Side, South of U Chicago.

Gun violence is largely local and contained between people who know each other in the US. City-wide stats obscure the concentration of crime in specific neighborhoods in most American cities

It's amazing what CSS can do these days.

I'm working on a side project where one of my initial constraints was I wanted the entire site to degrade gracefully when JavaScript was disabled. This led me to a situation where whenever I wanted to add some function that would typically be done with JavaScript, I'd ask, "Can I do this without JavaScript?" To my surprise, the answer so far has always been yes. It's amazing what CSS selectors on basic HTML controls can do these days. There's still not a line of JS in that codebase.
How do we make it more competitive? Work 996 like the Chinese? Have no maternity leave like Americans? It would certainly make us more competitive...
I know, but it's always former Russian colonies that fall for their propaganda—partly because some still see Russia as an "old friend." These countries are also much poorer than those in the West, which is pretty ironic since the Russian gas they get isn’t even that much cheaper. It’s more about having the infrastructure in place and simply being used to living next to the Russians.

Nord Stream 2 is beyond repair—just like Russia’s reputation for the coming decades. There may be trade again in the future, but they will never be the sole supplier again.
They can easily arrest you for arbitrary reasons, and then deny you later entry to the US after deporting you - a lifetime ban.

While not as high a risk as ‘dead’, it’s pretty bad, especially if your career is heavily dependent on the US or you have US citizen family/relationships.

The biggest issue is the arbitrary, capricious, and frankly nonsensical nature of a lot of what seems to be going on.
Your fears are unfounded and the traditional media and social media may be to blame. However, even as an American, I wouldn’t visit here unless absolutely necessary.

The orange man and his kleptocracy cabinet are dismantling the federal government to make way for a corporation run country or “nation states.”

Take your tourism dollars and please spend them elsewhere. America in its current state does not deserve your patronage. Encourage conference leaders to move their venue out of the United States.
> Open protocols are great but they are also absolutely a hindrance on change. If you’ve ever worked on a public API you know how painful making a breaking change to that API can be.

I worked on public API's. If there's a justified need for a breaking change, make a new API and deprecate the old one. It can of course be harder than this, but its complication mainly comes from proper PLANNING of the action and AWARENESS of the environment.

It's an OS, let's treat it as such and not buy into this narrative how hard and unfair the world is to this trillion dollar company.
The data business in the US was not developed by “building institutions” through centralized government projects but by private enterprise. There is a fundamental difference in mindset regarding the relative importance of the public and private sectors between the two regions, and I suspect that difference underlies the stark difference between the US and EU in terms of tech companies. The US has Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, X, all of which innovate to offer products appealing enough that customers are willing to use or buy them in a free and consensual transaction (which does not require any impoverishment). If they fail at innovating to appeal to customers, they go bankrupt. EU institutions funded through taxpayer money have less incentive to produce goods and services that appeal to taxpayers. I’m not sure where “impoverishment” fits into this at all.
Ah, I stand corrected. I have more recent examples but I struggle to recall them. Map and Set were certainly the two largest absences I remember.
Not the author, but both of those features seem unlikely to fit well with the rest of the language. I believe Borretti has commented on partial application in OCaml being a big pain because it can lead to weird type inference errors, and this was one of the motivations for not having type inference in Austral. Ditto pipeline operator, but I might be able to see unified function call syntax, maybe? f(a, b) == a.f(b). Would be curious to hear Fernando's thoughts on this.
I suspect scalping. If you hit Amazon you'll see a bunch of b580s listed with $100 markups.

You have glue on Lotus chassis for example so glue can be structural in automotive. AFAIK it's just unrepairable. Feel free to correct me..

Edit: For non car peeps, Lotus build essentially track day cars with a light chassis and as many parts from popular manufacturers as possible to keep maintenance cheap. They see a lot of abuse.
I'm mid-40s, and I've yet to actually see a firearm discharged outside of a range or skeet shoot, and I've never personally known anyone to be shot. And I live in a major US metro area.
I'm very curious as to what the remedy will be. Other panels seem to be detaching, as well. Will they have to remove and reattach all panels from every vehicle? Also, does the 46000 include every Cybertruck sold to-date?

I figured we were talking about C since that's the main topic. In any case short-circuit && and || still work in Go AIUI, so my point stands.
Never invest in car companies. they’re like Airlines. Cyclical industry with very high cost that can’t be adjusted. over the long term you’ll get burned every time.
the youtube video is clearly AI voice lol
This article is pretty good, but the website is an absolute trip lmao.
Yeah, you're right. Not easy, but do-able.

Apple, probably due to their success and size, are trying "Make me!" as a response until, you know, someone makes them. But they're not willing to voluntarily offer these API up.
I need it to track my heart rate. I am actually also looking forward to something that can track my blood-pressure, but I am not sure whether the technology is there yet. A device that can do offline tracking would be ideal, ability to sync with a USB cable would be icing on the cake.
> Data is proving to be valuable and should only be managed by very trusted allies - countries with similar ideals that truly are buddies.

Outside Trump — not all Republicans, specifically Trump — the USA was as close to being Europe's buddy as I think it's possible for nations to be.

I'm not convinced nations can actually be buddies, but even with my cynicism, Bush's administration was Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma, while Trump is behaving like each "deal" is a completely independent Prisoner's Dilemma.

And yes, that's despite how much we mocked GWB (I even got quoted on the national news for doing so!), and despite how America mocked itself with Team America: World Police, that version of the country still saw itself as needing to go through the motions of friendship.

You typed that like they're wrong
The biggest problem by far with the frontend ecosystem is that it assumes everyone's been writing perfect frontend code which makes deprecation/migration a breeze. Frontend is much more forgiving then backend, which means you can write absolute dogsh*t and have it not be discovered for years. This compounds, unfortunately, and when it comes time for breaking changes in a new library or framework versions, I think the authors of these versions don't understand how bad it is in the average frontend trenches. So more bad code is written to patch over existing bad code, and the cycle continues. Gets worse, in fact.

Nothing so rational, I'm sure. Tariffing Canada was already insane and he didn't care.
I wonder whether AI being the new and shiny thing will lead to a reduction in ‘innovation’ in front-end frameworks. Front-end dev seems to me to have been a solved problem for years now, yet there are still new ways of doing things for marginal gains. I personally just use vanilla JS (having never built anything Facebook-scale which would necessitate using a tool like React) and would be happy if instead of working on yet more front-end stuff, folk will otherwise build something AI-related, both because that is where the hype is but also because it’s genuinely exciting.
The problem is male prisoners, yes. Which is why segregating prisoners by sex is an essential component of safeguarding. And then further separation of vulnerable prisoners within each prison. If, in a male prison, there are inmates who desire to be women and are deemed to be at risk based on this, they should be separated from the general prison population, like other vulnerable prisoners are. Not transferred to a female prison.

Regarding the female category of sports, a sample of cells taken via a cheek swab can be used for karyotype testing, which would be sufficient for screening female athletes. This is much less intrusive than the anti-doping tests - which involve having blood taken and being observed urinating - that for many athletes is a requirement to compete. In the unusual case that the athlete has something other than 46,XX sex chromosomes, further analysis could be done - with the athlete's permission - to understand the underlying condition and, from this, determine eligibility to compete in this category.

No-one is advocating for all female athletes, including children, to undergo genital inspections. It isn't necessary and it's not being asked for.
This popular mythology in certain circles but it relies on people not calculating the effective total tax rate, including local and property taxes, and in that case California is the 13th cheapest state in the country:

https://wallethub.com/edu/best-worst-states-to-be-a-taxpayer...

You also want to consider what your taxes fund – for example, a startup founder probably benefits from proximity to two of the best university systems in the country and the better quality of life means you get more top people in your employee and networking pools. The ultra-rich are going to leave but a founder who isn’t already in the top income bracket is making an economically rational decision.

What does "preemption" mean in this context? (I know what crossings are.)
The woman who had anti-Trump photos on her phone. The woman who had "sympathetic" photos of Hezbollah on the phone. The professor who attended a Pro-Palestinian protest.

I don't get it. I thought we were free speech people. Now we are literal thought police? Since when is it illegal to have a picture on your phone that isn't CSAM?

And before people ask, yes I believe in free speech for everyone, even people I dislike and don't agree with.

> Seems a tricky situation if just the false claim being represented ephemerally in internal model activations, or the model having weights that can lead it to that claim, is defamation.

It's not so much defamation, but compliance with the GDPR that's the issue. A key tenet of the GDPR is that people should have the right to see what personal identifying information an organisation is keeping about them and to have it deleted or corrected if the person is unhappy with that (there are exceptions such as keeping data for law enforcement/detection etc).

Just because the PII is encoded into model weights doesn't mean that an organisation can then deny that it exists, especially when the outputs show some of that data.
I'm confused by your comment. First, powers of two are 2^n not n^2. But what do you mean you missed the title and wondered what was going on? How could you expect to understand the contents without reading the title? Surely I'm missing something.
Yea people should just learn Elixir/Phoenix and forget about all their npm js issues...
Indeed. In many quarterly reports of large tech companies, the revenue from the whole of Europe combined is sometimes bigger than that from the US. European revenue is often a close second.

It's truly significant if this revenue dissapears. Which is why I am baffled by how e.g. Zuckerberg is flailing at Europe and the EU. If EU regulations cut services off, or users move elsewhere out of fear or disagreement, that would be a crippling drop in revenue. For some tech companies enough to put them under, I'd say.

Why do you need a line?
Sure, but I was asking about the "'nt'd" at the end of all that.

As a British English speaker, I can't even guess what verb they're trying to say that they wouldn't / couldn't have done.
I think this THE main reason why many people are getting fed up with javascript heavy frontends and switching to technologies like htmx.

Personally I stick to json to feed data to my frontends, but I gave up on "frameworks" a while back and just implemented my own abstractions on top of vanilla js and the dom and have been happily using them for years. If you work in large teams with people that don't care so much tough, that would also have drawbacks.
We're close to finding a clear use-case for Bitcoin with this one.
One imagines the the large number of Indian and Chinese H1B workers at large tech companies are multi-lingual or at least bilingual.
Funny, because those motions were for a good part inspired by local companies complaining that they weren't even approached prior to critical infrastructure being outsourced to Amazon.

There's undoubtedly bureaucracy, but that hasn't stopped local companies from popping up. The bigger problem is CxOs thinking a transition to $LocalCorp would look less sexy on their resumé than a transition to Amazon or Azure.

Besides, when US tech companies operate in the EU, they still have to follow all those regulations. They don't get an exception for being based in the US. If anything, it should be easier for a small local company to operate.
If you have a reason, just terminate the contract? That's how it works in pretty much all of the EU.
>i remember in 2007 i noticed that movies sucked… i was a teenager. and i was right

You had an opinion, it was neiter right nor wrong. I was a teenager and watched Juno, 300, Bay's Transformers, And Pirates of the Carribean 3. I thought it was a renaissance. It's all based on personal experience.

> just burning their goodwill to the ground

AI firms seem to be leading from a position that goodwill is irrelevant: a $100bn pile of capital, like an 800lb gorilla, does what it wants. AI will be incorporated into all products whether you like it or not; it will absorb all data whether you like it or not.
Do you know where to find statistics on accidents and fatalities per vehicle or brand?

Do for example insurance companies provide such data?
Nonsense. Economic cooperation simply cannot exist when there is a conflict over sovereign territory. As a US citizen I claim no moral high ground but our interests don't align with China's. That is the reality regardless of your paranoid fantasies about powerful people.
I wonder if this would be a favorable time for someone within the EU to pursue MS with regards the windows user account being tied to an online account unless you jump through unofficial (or at least hidden) hoops. In the context of a business/office I doubt it's a big issue, but it'd be interesting whether there's any angle that businesses or individuals should be able to run their computers independently. There's been a strong distaste for the compulsory online user account for years now, although knowing luck if forced MS would find a way to only comply within territories they have to rather than making it a basic opt-in for all users wherever they live.
LibreOffice calc is barely usable for the smallest spreadsheets. Google sheets is better, but comes with its own set of issues and dumb limitations. Excel is at this point in time irreplaceable.

> whether 2^k mod 10 is odd

2^k mod 10 is never odd; it's the cycle (2, 4, 8, 6).

Related here is the length of the cycles mod 2^k, https://oeis.org/A005054. Interestingly, the number of all-even-digit elements in those cycles does not appear to be in the oeis, I get 4, 10, 25, 60, 150 as the first five terms.

This does appear to get more efficient as k gets higher; for k=11 I get a cycle length of 39,062,500 with an even subset of 36,105, meaning only .09% of the cycle is all-even.

This is all brute force; there's probably a more elegant way of computing this.
It might work in practice, but it really does not seem to meet the spirit to me. It’s definitely not true to just say “being a judge in a hackathon is one of the criterion” directly.

Actual regulation is:

Evidence of the alien's participation on a panel, or individually, as a judge of the work of others in the same or in an allied field of specialization to that for which classification is sought;[1]

is one of eight criterion (of which meeting three is required).

Examples given by USCIS[2] are:

Examples of relevant evidence may include, but are not limited to:

Reviewer of abstracts or papers submitted for presentation at scholarly conferences in the respective field;

Peer reviewer for scholarly publications;

Member of doctoral dissertation committees; and

Peer reviewer for government research funding programs.

Which seems to indicate rather more prestige than “judging a hackathon” is the intent of the regulation.
