'Founding engineer' is the new 'Vice president'

IMHO, in this case it should not even be a boolean but an enum {Visible, Hidden}.

He didn't say he made 12 independent saleable products, he says he built 12 tools that fill a need at his job and are used in production. They are probably quite simple and do a very specific task as the whole article is telling us that we have to keep it simple to have something useable.

2008 was a point where euro was overvalued compared to dollar at 1.60$ after the subprime crises. It's not a significant number.

> US is now only 65% and shrinking.

It's a fake news that just don't take into account on currency value change (euro has lost some value between 2019 and 2024). But if you look really want to look at it this way, I have a bad news for new: USA has shrink 15% since January compared to Europe as EUR go from 1$ to 1.15$.

If we look at GDP at purchasing power parity from 2007 to 2023 we have this:

- European Union: 31,162 => 61,217, +96% (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?locat...)

- USA: 48,050 => 82,769, +72% (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?locat...)

Which shows a slight catching-up by the European Union over the period.

It was "[dead]" or "[flagged]" ? If it was the first it was automatic and probably caused by previous comments, not by this one. New accounts (green name) can be auto-flagged quite fast if they have downvotes or reports on multiple comments.

The first number is based on statistical observation of mortality rate the second is based on classification by doctor at death. It's not comparable at all. For example, if there is an increase in heart related death when it's hot it's not accounted in second stats.

WHO European region also covered Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and other countries from central Asia so I don't see how you can conclude anything about EU with this piece of statistic. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WHO_regions)

Sorry for the misspelling, fixed.

He means probably Ron Buckton: https://xcancel.com/rbuckton/status/1922364558426911039

He probably intends to call Stephen Wolfram like that. But it's ridiculous to call him insane because he seems a little obsessed by cellular automatons.

Something like that could probably be implemented by storing multiple hash of some automatically modified version of the password. For example, if your password is "PassWorD" they can additionally store the hash of the lowercase version of the password. So if you change it from "PassWorD" to "paSswOrd", they will see it has the same lowercase hash than the previous one without knowing it.

What is the difference with tools like Camunda (for BPMN) for example ?

Maybe because they are doing it too ?

It does not help that both reciprocal and inverse come from French, and that their common meanings are reversed in English. I'm not sure whether the meaning of both words has remained constant over time in these two languages, as they both roughly mean "the opposite" and if you want to avoid ambiguity, you simply add context. For example, if you say "inverse function" or "multiplicative inverse" it's not ambiguous.

Inverse function: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function / https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijection_r%C3%A9ciproque

Reciprocal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_inverse / https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse

Wikipedia seems to have chosen "multiplicative inverse" over "reciprocal" for title, even though they are clearly indicated as synonymous.

Your relative position to the sun and the cloud.

> At the time GDP of the Eurozone was comparable to the US' now the US is almost twice as big

No, You're just comparing change in the EUR/USD exchange rate here. In 2007, the euro was at a high point of 1.48, and in 2024 it's at a low of 1.02. Inflation has not been higher in Europe than in the USA over that period.

If we look at GDP at purchasing power parity from 2007 to 2023 we have this:

- European Union: 31,162 → 61,217, +96% (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?locat...)

- USA: 48,050 → 82,769, +72% (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?locat...)

Which shows a slight catching-up by the European Union over the period.

Why do you interpret this comment as anti-OOP ?

I see it has criticising rust choice to not do OOP at the beginning to finally do it piece by price and that it would have probably be better for the language to embrace it from start.

In his case, I would often call it "adding noise to the signal" and not "pointing out disinformation".

As it's my project, I would like to add that it is 100% experimental at the moment and as the readme tell it : "Nothing really useful practically at the moment as a lot of things are still mocked and the garbage collector is not implemented."

I don't work on it regularly but any idea is welcome.

I would expect more professional operations considering the very high salaries of Mozilla foundation management and I would not blame any particular employee for this problem.

And refuse mozmail (Firefox Relay) email addresses !

He means "Golfe de Louisiane", obviously.

If you are from USA, I will suggest you to think about the name of your country and your continent and compare the situation with Europe.

Some are more confusing than others.

I think you can apply what Stephen Fry say in the following video to programming : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7E-aoXLZGY

And what about changing direction on each line ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boustrophedon

You can create a repo in a directory and use the local path in svn url without using any service or server process since the beginning of SVN.

You can even do it on shared directory for a small team even it's not recommended if there is a lot of concurrent users.

You can also count the Holy Roman Empire that was dissolved in 1806.

I recommend you to read this Aesop's fable: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Fables_of_Æsop_(Jacobs)/T...

10x leverage is just crazy for individual stock investment. The lesson you should learn from this is not "don't invest SP500" but "don't use 10x leverage".
