> living in Asia, can charge 50-100$ per hour, which comparatively to the US, would be 100$+-500$ per hour. And that is happening a lot now.

Numbers please.. you mean only now due to the WFH move upper management realised they don't need to watch butts in chairs and can hire anyone from all over the world and look at that economic advantage, though that had been always possible before, and was even often attempted with varying success, but now no concerns anymore? Doubts..

> Protothreads (coroutines using Duff's Device)

You sure? iirc they were just "stackless" threads with true cooperative switching (so like a true context switch by changing PC but not having to switch SP and keep multiple stacks).

If you would be right I could stop being salty about something I have ever been salty since 15 years or so: I "invented" (no not really, people did this before, but in the context of the raising meshed tiny sensor network hype at that time) in my thesis, then a researcher with connections to SICS took that with him and to this group, and half a year later Contiki appeared with the same approach (just more polished and a much better PR to contend with the much uglier TinyOS).

As an ex smoker, I found quitting smoking one of the easiest things to do, just knew and decided it is time to stop now.. so I'm always surprised why is that. Also recently just going interval fasting for first time in my life because becoming a bit fat, not any problem, at all strangely.

I wonder why that is, I wouldn't think I have a super strong will or just cannot be addicted, if I consider gaming or other procrastination habits..

But what definitely please shouldn't be done here is to put it into a category of "the most addictive thing" where really just heroine, true aclohol addiction, and similar drugs belong. Heroine/alcohol is nearly impossible to fight through with just own willpower. Objectively!

HN is not about giving just destructive feedback, but yeah, reading that question just made me full face palm. Why, .. on so many levels. Please stop, and go speculating with yourself a bit.

(What would be funny if this is an AI trying to get learning material (: )

None, very irrelevant and where it applies very minor problem vs all the others ;)

Hmm.. I'm a vegatarian, once vegan, since let me count.. oh why does that matter at all?

Taste like meat? Not at all, likely, don't remember, but I usually find them taste just nice, pea protein with spices, so what's the problem? Also what does thst have to do with how regular?

I hope they don't go out of business, being concerned for animals and environment I think every alternative that some people enjoy is great.

Thanks for all and that link, but yeah I was assuming 18==19 already and meant to understand runway numbers, maybe should have left out that detail.

Actual question still sticks: Takeoff on 18 southwards basically makes you follow the river immediately. Where did this guy encounter his left/right decision, to get back towards white house? he must have made almost a uturn then?

And even assuming the article is a bit inaccurate and he took of northwards (thanks for pointing out the patterns pilots have to fly if doing that @ others): I still cannot imagine how that plane flew and where it matches the description of: "When I reached 1500 feet I looked down. I was crossing the river. It went right and left."

???

Hmm, can someone just paint me that path into Google Maps?

Washington National has no 18, but only a 19, and I guess everyone takes off southwards as directly north is the White House? Also the river is like parallel to the runway, an follow the river there is super clear, no turn needed?

I must be looking at the wrong airport?

Not sure how it is in the UK, but in Germany, where there is also a lot of outcry and hate towarfs them, the protestors (once you dig through) actually have very few and most simple demands: partly even promises that have been given for years by politicians, it is borderline ridiculous. They would be quite easy to fulfill even. Still, nothing happens.

Given that the issue of climate change is so profound and long existant (I mean, against it any crisis like Vietnam or tofay's pandemic just pale) I can only sympathize with them - and imo it's hugely unfair to blame the state becoming more deep state on them, don't do that.

It is on our all's huge lethargic laziness I really feel more and more guilty for, both deep state and climate change nonaction.

> We don't know if it will be enough or not...

Strong disagree, the way you envision what we can only do we know definitely it will not be enough. Period. Sorry to agree to your last paragraph, but that is almost climate change denial ;)

We will see soon! (:

Ha, resonates completely with me. I think it takes time and experience to hate on complexity... and maybe also just age because your brain cache becomes worse and smaller, and you have seen enough "smart" things fail, also your own ones.

And that..

> Maybe I'm lazy, but I'd sit there and think of half a dozen other ways to do it before settling on changing the module itself.

Yeah, one aatribute of good engineers is that they are lazy in the right way ;)

Are we looking at the same video? The turn signal is on long before, the lane change of the car starts long before.. you don't see any reaction of the following driver even when the Tesla's tires finally cross the line, which is the latest point where the following driver must adapt apeed and distance, but nothing happens?

You don't, but as soon as you see the car in front of you change the lane (or just indicating via turn signal), you should? And to be honest, this looks more like slowing down and not a hard break, and at least the first following driver slept quite a bit... agreed the stopping had no reason, so (as someone quoted German laws) for that you would be too blame... but for crashing into the car with that video footage, I'm sure the following driver would get at least 80% if not 100% blame.

Yes tracability etc... but to be honest: For such a trivial thing, this thing called commit message right before or after the ticket reference can do the job as well with one less indirection ;)

Hahaha, everyplace everywhere.

I think two things play into this: Layers.. it is just easier for people to add layers around something, not touching and understanding the original code and doing it right there. And then profs or someone else always says layering is good! (It may sure be, or also sometimes such "hacks" are the right thing to do, but if that is always the default mode... uhh oh).

And second, university training: OOP, design patterns, software layers, all claimed to lead to structured good programming automatically still taught in 2023, which is just not true. By untrained or unexperienced personnel leads to worse than 80s spaghetti code..

Just yesterday I exercised with relative who is in university for exam.. Java, design patterns, arggh. Imo it just makes no sense at all to try to teach students inheritance and design patterns with Cat/Dog/Animal et al, it is so backwards. You need to program for a while bigger real systems to see some patterns emerge and their usefulness, and then can relate to the formal way and maybr use some patterns reasonably. But starting with those on toy examples just leads to what you describe: People going in with their trained knowledge and applying that to everything without rhyme or reason. What could be a simple five liner function already becomes a convoluted abomination. Just one concrete example, but this then on many levels of software engineering.

Who or what will save our future? :D No, it won't be ChatGPT. (Second lol btw, relative really showed me how likely all of then may use ChatGPT i. their online exams...)

Very comparabale! And also sheer luck the main plume went there too..

Radiation deaths? Lol guys, I get it, but please don't try to make a bigger fool out ouf you by ridiculing about a point noone ever made.. it is like someone would tell you that our lethargic sitting life styles makes us sick and you stand up and shout: "But noone died from sitting, while tons of people die from sports a lot!!!"

> laughing as we chanted it on the days when we took acid and went swimming.

WTF, even without the additional "challenges" of Yellowstone Lake.. I neither would nor could imagine go swimming then :o

Agreed, and that is also totally ok I'd claim! :)

This so much and to hear it often is similar annoying as those "and if they want to eat a burger/sausage then why don't they eat a real one"... People just not understanding that you do not eat no meat because of taste or disgust, but for ethical andor environmental reasons and just still like similar spice/composition or even just form or type of meal from previous times.

Hey grandposter, we even make burgers at home in many different styles without needing to fit into any social settings, but we also like to just try any offering that is out there, unimaginable!

But as another commenter pointed out more idiomatic Rust == more borrow checking, less unsafe == more checks.

Is there really reason to believe that would be in advantage of Rust build times?

Ok, you say the proc macros you say.. but it also commented on, and also not unidiomatic?

Oh sorry you pointed that out below, thank you for doing again!

I didn't get why he doesn't see barely any improvement using mold, while mold's advertising/benchmarks show 1-2 magnitudes of improvements over gold, and still at least 50% vs llvm. Reading through mold's nice docs I could only explain that by him not utilizing multiple cores (molds actual strength besides other things), but seems pretty unlikely. Who can explain?

Read also the article about what he did? Could have said that in advance without looking at any code ;)

(And further hint, that shouldn't be the significant hook here..)

> But we must facilitate and celebrate childbearing as a society.

I know this is unpopular, but just an opinion without facts, and I strongly disagree. This agreed "it must be that way" is one of our main problems and turning this planet over, we should reconsider.

As far as I can see it would need humans for now.. so until it becomes or even more to become fully independent, and then also to exterminate humanity, nothing is better to quickly and safely reach those goals than to take over?

And to others birthright and fairness in one sentence looks really strange ;)

> It says a lot about how confused political discourse gets that the author considers these things "not politics".

Another pro tip for argues over the holidays: don't be that nit-picky... even if you are right on some level, I'm not sure who would call such topics current political discourse topics (:

Best tip though: keep the discussions away, delve in the happy shared past, dream about a better future, or just enjoy the moment! Merry christmas!

Huh, not seeing the difference really, expectations there were also usually not a whole winter-long event but contained events? Or otherwise then totally the same though to the planned load shedding SA is running on now on different levels for some time? Doesn't make it better..

Above didn't say that, everything someone planned for is "not unexpected" to some degree, but doesn't make it less an emergency or deviation from normal operation or how you want to call it?
