I mean that's mostly pretty easy bindings, but yeah it's annoying that you have to do them and feels like you're losing out on the whole damn point of using F#

Something that helps, a ton, is as you're transitioning, you can write code almost identically to how you did before. It doesn't force FP on you at all. It's less useful if you try to do that, because you're not taking advantage of the language, but it makes testing your beliefs on how things work SUPER easy because you can set it up in the OOP way, get the result you expect, then set up in what you think is the correct FP way, and see if it matches.
The only issue is there's a severe lack of beginner friendly documentation (although it's leagues better than it used to be). I honestly think that if you're a C# dev, it's probably worth giving it a weekend or two to play with. ESPECIALLY if you like linq syntax.
Instead they've been, very slowly, turning C# into F#, which is even weirder to watch.
And on and on and on. Just the amount of time spent unproductively discussing this nightmare is going to cost billions.
For every place where it can be an interesting question you get some entry level posting at, at best, bland corp and the real answer is “I’d like to not starve” but they expect and song and dance.
If you want to know my aspirations, ask. If I’m supposed to be doing baseline data entry, maybe skip on the high concept stuff and assume I’d just really like to afford my crippling keyboard habit
This is the entire issue with these kinds of things. They always launch at a good value because they know they can capture the market. Yes if they were benevolent or whatever it'd be fine, but these things almost ALWAYS turn into cluster fucks.
They couldn't launch at worse value than the current product line because they need full adoption before they can put the screws to you.
Don’t know if they’re controlling for that or not but I suppose if that would matter depends on how far ahead of the previous record this is
Looking at the article it looks like it’s .08 seconds ahead, which taken as a % of total time strikes me as substantial enough as to not much matter. I’m counting 16 moves in the slower video (which was not the WR) but I’m also barely aware of this stuff so I could be wrong.
That said, I personally think the solution will not be coming that soon, but at the same time, we'll be seeing a LOT more content that can be done using current tools, even if that means a dip in quality (severely) due to the cost it might save.
The simple problem has always been that when you're selling someone a $1000 piece of hardware that's supposed to "just work" how much do you let their ignorance fuck it all up.
Now granted that's not an argument for locking away access from those who choose to accept the responsibility, as has always been the case, but the idea that there was any other outcome was absurd.
Yes it'd be nice if everyone had some tech savvy common sense, but even now when we have generations growing up with it, actual understanding is far and few between when looking at the general population. People don't care, and don't want to, and it can make things risky.
If boeing is SO important to the government that justice doesn't matter, then it's probably a fuckload easier to bribe a judge or two and make sure the court cases never get anywhere than to orchestrate not one, but two, clandestine hits.
Further, why the fuck would you do the hits now? In both cases the information was brought out YEARS ago, and already in court. It hardly matters if they're alive or dead at this point.
99% of murder investigations mostly boil down to:
1. Literally witnessed by one or more people, possibly officers or on camera. 2. They brag about it. 3. A brief investigation of friends and family where it turns out so and so always hated them and happens to have a gun, and hey look at that the ballistics match.
There are a very small number of officers in comparison to the total population (as it should be), and the vast majority of them are not the kind being assigned to homicide.
Some major % of the "unsolved" murders in the US that mostly just get thrown on the pile because they find out 2 weeks later and either can't identify the victim, or can't find enough useful information to start investigating. Forensics is very useful, but hardly as portrayed in shows like CSI, and the simple realities of "well we didn't find much, found out weeks later, and it'll be weeks before we get any lab results back" often just mean there's 10 other "no shit" murders to deal with instead.
And this isn't even on the core topic here of "could this have been a hit by Boeing", which is just insanely unbelievable, ESPECIALLY given the method. People are off handledly mentioning things like Ricin or Polonoium attacks, but the important things about those is that they are INSANELY LETHAL and extremely easy to control.
"Lets infect him with pneumonia that turns into MRSA" has got to be one of the most risky, difficult, expensive, and unreliable methods of killing someone ever.
Hell if you want deniability there's probably at least 10 or so ways to easily cause a human to have a heart attack and look like they died of natural causes as compared to some magic MRSA gun.
And even better, contractors often cost VASTLY MORE than an employee because you've got a shit ton of middle man overhead to cover (their HR, their benefits, their managers, etc).
It's darkly funny how much of modern business management is really just knowing how to get the right numbers in front of the right people. I've worked at far too many places that have someone who ONLY looks at payroll and wants to make sure it doesn't go up too much. "Everything else" isn't their concern, so all those projects get bloated with consultants that just fall under project budgets.
Not as a second job, not as a side project, and certainly not as a charity case that just flat out will not sustain you.
There are precious few things that have the adoption and support linux has, and a lot of that is very much a "right place, right time" thing. The fact that I've seen plenty straight up vilify a coder for daring to want to, you know, make enough to support a library full time has always struck me as self destructive. I'm sure many great coders have given up and moved on to paid projects doing boiler plate because inventing new stuff gets you chewed up and spit out by the community if you monetize.
It likely only exists in extremely specific conditions, not just like a sheet.
I’m guessing it’s somewhat similar to a microscopic layer around a material that we never notice.
Yeah this has worked out so well historically.
The whole point of privacy laws is to allow for the idea of bad actors on the other side of the equation. I'm all for tightening up loopholes but off hand sayings like this are thrown around all the time and they're terrible logic that isn't at all backed up by evidence.
You really need to be able to evaluate if something is worth your time and it’s often best to just try what exists and only iterate if needed. Especially when you actually need to deliver a product
That said, they're game wardens. It's not like they could've been off solving murders or arresting domestic abusers or whatever. It might just be this is become a major problem in their area and this is a pretty good way to make sure everyone knows it's not ok.
I would not be shocked if future star wars, marvel, disney games are epic exclusive, and that could be the thing to get people to care beyond the weekly free game and fortnight.
Epic isn’t going anywhere
Disney can bring a LOT of content, so long as they can actually make it half decent content and not shit the bed like they did with EA.
The heat sucks but it’s not like it’s that hard to avoid on a conference trip. It’s when you live here and have to hop in your plasma generating car that makes you wonder what the fuck is wrong with you
