If it works like that, why aren't the app companies describing exactly how it works to advertisers in order to earn their business?

They describe how everything else they do works in great detail if you're someone who buys ads.


> And Dlang was, by far, the worst experience out of the lot. Firstly is the lack of adequate, comprehensive, and centralised tooling. I almost gave up when dmd could not even compile a freshly init'd project.

Yep this also happened to me when I tried D. I love the idea of the language and the syntax is great, but I really don't want to fight my tools when I'm working on a project.


You don't need to reach for opaque calls external to the analyzer. The collatz conjecture requires nothing more than arithmetic and a loop with conditional termination. If you're working in a domain with guaranteed termination, it's almost certainly because someone spent a lot of effort to make sure it stayed that way.

thanks for reading!

I am a fan.


Can you show me an example? I think before 2-3 days ago this wasn't really possible without the output images looking really bad.

  > What happened to internet cafes?
Internet became a commodity at home. I have spent countless hours in netcafes too, until I got a connection at home.

Regarding the "what happened to games" part - there isn't really a shortage of online multiplayer games... actually one is hardpressed to find a real single player one


It seems like the parent was trying to paint a situation of you being a bottleneck to success. It seems a bit Schrödinger's BFDL though.. is Linus a bottleneck to the most used server operating system? Did Guido hold back Python? The existence of the GDC and LDC compilers torpedoes toolchain concerns.. I'd be more worried about Java or Golang suffering from some eventual corporate buffoonery.

To the parent's point of startups, betting the farm on something like a particular language out of some sense of superiority might mean you are not focusing on the right problems. But if the founders happen to know a less widely used tool it doesn't seem inappropriate either.


GNU Parallel seems like another convenient approach.

No, it's not a real-time process. We have an admin panel to generate the images, cover and PDF. There is a good bit of human input involved.

> his focus was not the technical details as he felt too much had been written from that perspective

Too much technical detail? Not for technologists - that's the interesting bit!


It would be great if D supported something like OpenAPI generator https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator

Maybe it exists and I am just ignorant but it doesn't seem to be in the list of supported languages.


I didn't know this! I'll issue a correction

Thank you, I agree and I'll update the example photos.

I didn't add a PDF but I added some photos of the real end product to the bottom of the landing page now.


The problem is that the various `__has_foo` aren't actually reliable in practice - they don't tell you if the attribute, builtin, include, etc. actually works the way it's supposed to without bugs, or if it includes a particular feature (accepts a new optional argument, or allows new values for an existing argument, etc.).

I really enjoyed listening to the Silo series by Hugh Howey recently. I also went through a Stephen King binge years ago and I specifically recall Frank Muller did a great job with the narration on many of the books (sadly he passed away before finishing the Dark Tower series).

The FBI tracks active shooting cases-where individuals attempt to kill people in public places, excluding those tied to robberies or gang violence. This study is the first to systematically compare how uniformed police and civilians with concealed handgun permits perform in stopping these attacks. Civilians with permits stopped the attacks more frequently and faced a lower risk of being killed or injured than police. Officers who intervened during the attacks were far more likely to be killed or injured than those who apprehended the attackers later.

Wikipedia has at least 15 million articles in languages other than English and around 7 million English articles.

Are you asserting that it is standard that Americans are writing and moderating all of these articles in other languages?


>rsshub

This has been one of the key programs for me to move 90% of my "timeline" into an rss reader.

If you self-host it, you can also pass it authentication tokens to RSSify things like:

- your twitter timeline

- github notifications, issues, commits

- discord messages

- youtube subscriptions

- spotify/twitch/steam/etc.


Yes. 150+ times is akin to Funding an individual, rather than seeking to add a unique perspective.

My partner makes one! Go grab a copy if you're in Australia, the wonderful POP local -- started as POP Canberra -- sells them.

He's 'Bum Man'. A man (actually it's asexual) who is a bum. I mean c'mon.


Reproducing a paper is Hard, and also Expensive. I'd expect that they wouldn't pick papers to try and reproduce at random.

You still need a configure step for the "where are my deps" part of it, though both autotools and CMake would be way faster if all they were doing was finding, and not any testing.

Replying to myself: I mixed up WSJ with WaPo. I must look like a fool.

Well, blocking javascript would stop that. Noscript is a thing that some people use.

> Amy Goodman

Source for that? My impression is that Democracy Now!, while it has a clear perspective and set of biases, has been fairly independent. I don't think Goodman herself would be involved with them, but I think some of her sometimes guests have been.

In general I agree with folks replying to you that RT is not trustworthy and someone being involved with it is a red flag.


Wealthy people who could be coined liberal-tarians or just your average tech bro political grab bag largely backed Trump out of financial interest and who, imo, deluded themselves that the administration would be unsuccessful at "the bad stuff" much like his 2016 run.

No amount of shouting from the rooftops that this time was actually different convinced anyone. I can't really blame us collectively, we resoundingly voted for this— it's as much of a mandate you're likely to ever get in the US and we're in the find out stage of fucking around.


People who want 64TB of memory in a single system.

I'm gonna guess from your phrasing that you're a denier of the genocide being committed by Netanyahu and the IDF.
