Security problems are, first and foremost, about CORRECTNESS. If you find an issue, most probably something has been done in an incorrect way by somebody who didn't really understand something. It's much harder to find out some security bug which is not a functional bug (for some part of the domain, not just the sweet spot).

Of course that doesn't really apply to C or C++, where it's easy to do dumb mistakes by chance.

Computer modeling suggests climate change might just do it though. The disruptions that come from it would only continue to become more extreme post-collapse -- and our ability to quickly adjust in such a way as to reduce them would be destroyed with civilization -- making rebuilding difficult or impossible.

A lot of those problems seem to revolve around line of sight issues, which won’t matter because the thing will be loaded with sensors.

And one additional thought: When evaluating a potentially disruptive technology, the opinion of veterans is important and may indicate that they won’t ever adopt the new technology in massive numbers. However veterans by definition have a lot of hard earned experience, which means they won’t see the benefits of automation and ai assistance, while people new to the field will have the benefit of not having to gain that experience to be productive. Which means that the old tech will age out as veterans retire.

I was seriously surprised this has become a "real" game. I played Cookie Clicker for a couple weeks (and a bit of Clicker Heroes) and always thought they were a parody of the infinite treadmill modern gaming is turning into.

At least for me, they made the math behind the grind so blatantly obvious I've lost interest in any game that uses this mechanic for real.

I wasn't aware there were people so into these games they'd drop real money on them, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around gacha games being so profitable.

You don’t need to know “Dependency Injection”
One of the problems with game development is that consumers aren't always very good at judging what they're getting (in terms of quantity, I'm not suggesting consumers can't be trusted to decide whether they like something).

A game with one repeating background, versus a game with a whole range of varied backgrounds, can be order of magnitude cheaper to make. But typically this will be reviewed as "crappy graphics" or "boring art", and the more expensive version will be panned for being too expensive. Sometimes crappy graphics won't matter, sometimes it will.

From the video, there is no comparison in terms of development resource. There is much much more art, many more frames of animation, much less smoke and mirrors in the engine. I can understand why the development budget is $2m.

But I have a horrible feeling that most consumers will be like you, and not see that, and not think that all that effort is worth it, or that they've put much effort into the new game at all. And a good chunk of them (not you) will be very entitled about it, about not getting it for free. The reality of game development, unfortunately.
I think the difference is more that there are no _penalties_ in clickers, and usually no way to _lose_.

I like this! This was an idea I toyed around with in my head for a long time. I am glad to see you actually implement it.

Kotlin is the first language I've gotten excited about in a long time. It's close enough to Java that I can get my engineers up to speed in a few hours, but it removed a lot of the bloat and tedium.

The JNV / JS / Native targets are also really promising, though I haven't played around with them much. The JS and Native runtimes are a bit limited since they don't include the Java standard library, from what I can tell.

I learned about the importance of sand (and other media) this year when setting up a saltwater tank for my s.o.; I really had no idea beforehand.

Sand provides a huge amount of surface area for colonies of bacteria responsible for converting ammonia into nitrites and nitrites into nitrates, which can then be taken up by plants or algae and converted into other chemicals that are less harmful to aquatic species.

Dredging sand from rivers and beaches is likely going to be seen as a massive ecological disaster in the next couple of decades.

>Saying the former lost out because the @ makes it unreadably terse is nonsense.

Well, that's not what I claimed. I also wasn't really focused on "@%$" specifically but you had brought it up so went with it. (I get this weird feeling that I'm discussing with someone who's emotionally invested in Perl and he feels like I'm bashing Perl. Please let's us both stop this and make sure we're talking about Perl in a detached manner.)

Yes, strlen("my @list = (1, 2, 3)") is greater than strlen("list = [1, 2, 3]"). I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about things like strlen("@") < strlen("arraylist"). But... "C# doesn't compete with Perl!". Yes, that's true.

A realistic scenario where perceptions of "@" and "Arraylist" is compared would be a C# programmer working on an ASP.NET website or Javascript programmer working on Nodejs and then the company needs him to go fix an old website that was written in Perl ~15 years ago. The old Perl programmer left and C# programmer is stuck looking at Perl's "line noise". That irritated C# programmer then fills the Stackoverflow survey expressing his "dislike" of Perl. The C# and Javascript looked "readable" but Perl syntax such as "<>" looked like gibberish.

Neat!

But you've got some work to do to get the data in there. I put in my Southern Indiana zip code and got 12 results back. Only one was actually anywhere near my zipcode (or even in my state). The rest were anywhere from 200 - 500 miles away. Sorry, but I don't consider Maryland to be local to Indiana.

I would suggest you work on getting data about local farms in there, and then tighten up the constraints for what is considered "local".

At the very least, in the results paragraph, change the display from "12 for your zipcode" which is just flatly false to "1 for your zipcode and 11 in the broader region" or something of that nature.

a) is it shilling if it's self-promotion? Edit: a quick check in a dictionary points out that a shill is someone pretending to be impartial. I'm not sure Mozilla could do that about their own browser.

b) if they didn't make noise about this no one would try to switch to this fairly big release. It's a bit like the hype around Firefox 3.
Although those often are to some degree a result of corruption.

It's not clear that this is a useful distinction to make.
That's not quite there though - with React Native, your still running the js engine to run the JavaScript (but your at least using native widgets).

With Kotlin you'll be running compiled code. If you wanted to right now though, you could (should be able to?) use Kotlin to build a React Native app with it's just target.
I've never had the luxury. Even if I try on their empty frames, and lean close enough to the mirror to get a general idea of what they look like, I have to take on faith (or ask someone else) that they look decent. By the time my heavy prescription is added, the refraction alters the way they look anyway.

Zenni has a feature whereby I can upload a photo, and get a reasonable facsimile of how a frame is going to fit, while wearing my current prescription to be able to actually focus on it. After 3 years of zenni, I went back to brick-and-mortar once, and faced extreme sticker shock.

Back to Zenni I went, and have been super happy with them since.

You are so right. When I saw the link I thought: "That could be fun, lets take a look how it displays the data". But when I saw that it uses node.js I thought "Oh my god, who had this brilliant idea to write it with node"...

Hey guys, please use rust, golang, haskell or whatever you like, but please do not use nodejs to write CLI tools.

And I am not one of the guys who is against JS in general. In fact, I like building PWAs and other JS heavy apps/websites a lot. But there are so many tools do a better job at building cli programs.

This exactly. If the developers responsible for the problem (and the fix) aren't feeling the pain of being on-call, then nothing will change and the fallout will be left on support/ops (who will usually find a poorly thought out workaround).

Do developers need to be on-call to handle purely ops-related activities (low disk space, high system load, etc)? Absolutely not. Should developers be responsible for their "production-ready" code when it breaks? Definitely.

My compilers course was the single most difficult college course I've ever taken (it was an undergrad/graduate cross-listed course usually taken senior year, and at least at my school, UCCS in Colorado, was the cause of many a CS student not graduating on time -- putting a weed-out course that close to the end of the BSCS program wasn't cool, man).

More all-nighters during that class than any other. It occurs to me, I've spoken to several Junior devs over the last few years with CS degrees that never had to take a compilers course. That just isn't right.

In these articles I keep on seeing the phrase "illegal mining", and yet I see no reason why legality would effect the environment. Is it somehow better for the environment if the government gets paid for the resource extraction? I don't think so.

I know that illegal miners may violate mining regulations which are intended to protect the environment, but as far as I can tell, legal third world mining is not regulated in any ecological way making that point moot.

> My understanding of functional requirement is that it is binary

Not so easy.

1) Very often (too often) functional requirements are poorly worded, and they leave things open to interpretation or to implied meanings.

Example:

"as user Foo, when authenticated in I should be able to open and modify all the documents I own, so that I can amend them".

Does such user story look good? Probably; but it says nothing about the "contrasting" stories. A lot of times there won't be a story that says...

"as user Foo, when non-authenticated I shouldn't be able to see any document by anybody". or

"as user Foo, I should be able to see and modify my documents and only my documents"

so if a non-authenticated user or a different user has access to your docs, you aren't probably breaking a functional requirements, but it's probably not how the system was meant to behave by most stakeholders.

2) Very often the functional requirements are OK for the sweet spot, but break on corner cases; so many people just won't notice what's wrong.
I love Kotlin. It's the sweet spot between Java and Scala. Been using it for backend stuff since it went 1.0. Coroutines are a game changer for a lot of the work I do.

Really excited to see how Native progresses as well. I've got a handful of projects what would benefit from having the 90% core written in Kotlin with some JVM and Native portions plugged in, ultimately meaning the library is available on both JVM and Native.
