Stress most times doesn't reveal itself like that. What you're describing is short term excitement and perhaps anxiety.

Stress is a silent killer. It's basically being mostly unhappy, feeling unfulfilled and trapped. It's a spectrum that can range from simply being unhappy to being deeply depressed.


The dual landings for me were far superior. It was straight out of science fiction.


I only got to see the tail end of the shuttle launches (too young) but I imagine watching the first launch/landing felt something like I experienced watching those two boosters land together.


Can confirm.


I'm very confused. Grade school problems? Didn't ChatGPT 4 ace the entire curriculum of MIT a while back?


GPT4 is trained on almost the entire Internet. Presumably they have found a new way to learn which is closer to the way humans learn. After that, getting better is just a matter of optimization and more compute.


Intelligence does not imply agency or consciousness.


I don't think you can have full intelligence without agency


Then a lot of people historically have not had full intelligence. The bar isn't perfect intelligence, the bar is average human intelligence.


I don't work at Reddit but I take personal offense when someone so unfairly criticizes the "working class" of a software house like that (ie the non manager level software engineers).

What makes you think that whatever is wrong with Reddit is due to lack of talent? It almost never is.


Why do you think software engineers never blame themselves and have such a poor opinion of their management?


Working class? Check the compensation levels of engineers at reddit.


I think you missed the fact that I'm talking relatively (i.e. within a software house as I say) and the quotes around "working class".

Still, If we want to be pedantic and literal (i.e. assume I'm talking about the Marxist definition) it still holds true, as class is not defined by compensation but by the role of the individual within the production process.


I am sure those making the decisions earn more.

What would some common/helpful use cases be?


I often use Object.entries so that I can use Array.filter/map/foreach on an object, but then I need to use Array.reduce to hack it back into an object. Object.fromEntries solves this.


Yeah this is what I’m most excited for. filter and map and my preferred array traversal methods. reduce can be awkward though, and people abuse it by using it to replace or combine filter and map. fromEntries almost makes reduce unnecessary when working with objects.


Functional transformation of objects. There are lots of HOFs working on arrays / iterators but none working on object. fromEntries allows easily converting from object to entries, manipulating the entries sequence and converting back to an object.

The last step is pretty annoying without it.

The entire thing is very common in Python, where Object.entries() is spelled `.items()` and `Object.fromEntries(…)` is spelled `dict(…)`


It's a lot more verbose than _.mapValues() is, but it's nice to have a relatively simple solution without using a library.


This was a 100m asteroid (city killer), not 1km.


And a factor of 10 difference in linear size (radius, diameter, etc.) implies a factor of 1000 difference in mass.


Can you expound on the concerns?


IntelliJ supports editorconfig just fine.

I'm not sure why you were disappointed, editorconfig does not advertise the features you mentioned. For more involved autoformatting you need some kind of tool like gofmt or Prettier for JavaScript.


> IntelliJ supports editorconfig just fine.

When I set the line length config setting, and then have intellij autoformat a file, it doesn't break lines at that length.

The elevator pitch for EditorConfig, as taken from the first sentence of its website, is "EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers working on the same project across various editors and IDEs." The things I want I consider coding styles.
