> Most of the tunnels have 4 tracks, so shutting down even half of them will not disrupt commuting all that much, especially if not done for a very large length.

I'm going to guess you don't commute on the New York subway. :P

Generally, there's two tracks for each direction, one local and one express. You can't shut down just one direction for obvious reasons.

The New York subway is busy enough that shutting down either the local or express track—while better than taking the subways fully out of commission—is a huge pain. When the express track closes, your commute takes twice as long; when the local track closes, your station will likely be bypassed. And in both cases, this makes for overcrowded trains, to the point where you often have to wait for a couple before you're able to board.

(I'm not saying we shouldn't do upgrades, but shutting down a track is indeed very disruptive.)

A standard developer certificate won’t help you for drivers (except for drivers that purely run in user space, such as FUSE filesystems).

Anything that is a kext (kernel extension) requires a special kernel signing developer certificate so macOS will allow users to install it without disabling SIP. Apple is extremely conservative in handing out those kext certificates, and even if they grant you one, they will impose super harsh restrictions on what you can do with them.
To reiterate what others said, choosing an unusual syntax that is non-obvious motivated by a synthetic example to solve a problem already solved by many other languages in better ways almost raises the suspicion that we’re deliberately trying to make JS even worse... to kill it? Or is this just indicative of the process that got us to this mess in the first place?

A more reasonable policy for JS would be to (a) contain it - no more changes, no more extending its use outside of its current surface, (b) the development of an alternative approach that would - crucially - support competing languages so that we don’t get stuck in this way again, (c) gradually shrinking eliminating JS with a goal to complete retirement.

Looking at NeXTSTEP screenshots, I would say that what got copied was the grey color palette used to make the widgets non-flat. But the actual widgets are rather different, that aside.

And didn't NeXTSTEP built on Motif in turn? Is Motif the granddaddy of "chiseled 2D", or was there something before it?
I'm not sure why there is necessarily a conflict between developing a tool with a GUI and developing a tool that can be used on the command line. As an example you might consider GIMP. You can drive it with a GUI or it has a "batch mode."

That's a reason for math to be recognized as an important tool for science (and a certain level of it a prerequisite for certain science work), but lacking an empirical component, it makes no sense to consider it a science.
I made my site say it because I was going to attempt a hanging. I decided after talking to my doctor the week leading up, I would wait for my application to be reviewed and which is done in less than 90 days (almost over). If it’s denied I could contest but haven’t decided. Sort of a moral question for me I think about; so people don’t write me off as depression but gender dysphoria with all I did. I also talked to a lawyer to try going to court for medical assistance in dying in Canada because I’m being unrighteously denied. I explained my points to her, she said I was right where I would have a case but it would be appealed if went forward and would take a year. So after that at the time of updating the site, I got my evaluation from my doctor in my favor for DIGNITAS in Switzerland. I was curious to see if the site would be taken down from controlling relatives no longer in my life. I just leave it because there is no reason to edit it anymore. I might upload some files to google drive that I haven’t is the only thing left I may do for the site. Anyway I think people should do similar if in same situation. I’ve known a few people who took their life without leaving much behind for people to understand the real reasons.

How many other nations run a global network of unacknowledged torture prisons?

How many of those other nations have broken into their national legislatures to cover it up?

The United States pays a lot of lip service to human rights, while wholesale ignoring them when convenient.

Interesting question. I'm not sure this development will be driven by AI in particular but in a way it's already happening.

English is the first language in history that's spoken by more non-native speakers than native speakers, which in turn might have an interesting impact in that previously ungrammatical (i.e. "wrong" by native standards) word and phrase usage by non-native speakers might be incorporated in the standard language.

In some communities (exhibit A: Hacker News, software engineering and software entrepreneurship communities) English not only is the lingua franca anymore but the de facto default language (in lieu of the local language).

This development originally started with the cultural sway the Anglosphere had - and still has, probably even more so today - but today is accelerated even more by information technology (which for various reasons is very US-centric) and software in particular. Pretty much as is the case with science, if you want to be successful in the software business you have to be able to understand English to some extent at least, even if it's just because the most relevant resources usually are available in that language.

As a side note: An interesting development I've come across more often recently is documentation for open source components in some areas being available either exclusively or at least primarily in Mandarin Chinese. So, perhaps that development might shift somewhat in future and if you're interested in specific areas you might need at least some command of that language, too.

As many else have been I have been click-baited here thinking you are going to teach us how to do PyQt5 GUI development faster and better. Now as I'm developing a PyQt5 GUI app I can say it involves a serious amount of of non-intuitive hand-coding and feels annoyingly hard and slow as compared to WinForms and WPF. It is most probably going to get easier and faster with experience, nevertheless I believe some real articles (going beyond hello-worldish stuff and addressing more complicated issues from a real-life experience perspective) on PyQt5 programming can probably help a lot (unfortunately there are hardly any published to the date).

New A.I. Tool for Web Designers (heyleia.com)
An email from Tim Roberts <marchand@vybesoftware.com>:

My name is Mitch, and I'm the marketing director here at Vybe Software. We've recently created a tool specifically for web design companies like yours, and we'd like to pay you to use it. It's called Leia, and it uses A.I. to build, publish, and host websites.

Since June, we alone have added over 25,000 active hosting clients with Leia. Our current focus is now on establishing partnerships with creative agencies like yours who excel in the customer-relationship side of this space. We have no doubt that Leia will save you guys some development time, increase the number of clients you can take on, and add some more volume to your residual income.

I'd love to learn a bit more about you to see if this might be a good fit. Do you have time for a quick 15-minute call on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday this week?

Thanks,
Mitch

There's a difference between experienced "G-Force" and the amount you are accelerating due to gravity.

Basically, gravity can accelerate you all that it wants, but if there is no force resisting that acceleration (air drag, your feet against the ground, the seat pushing on your back in an airplane) then you don't feel that acceleration.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

"Gravitation acting alone does not produce a g-force, even though g-forces are expressed in multiples of the acceleration of a standard gravity. Thus, the standard gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface produces g-force only indirectly, as a result of resistance to it by mechanical forces. These mechanical forces actually produce the g-force acceleration on a mass. For example, the 1 g force on an object sitting on the Earth's surface is caused by mechanical force exerted in the upward direction by the ground, keeping the object from going into free fall."

> It's a shame that relying on call-order indexing is the solution because it's magical.

I've been thinking about this a lot since Hooks were introduced, and I'm increasingly of the opinion that it isn't that magical. Order of operations is incredibly important in the functions we write, especially in a language like JS that makes no effort for strict "pure" side-effect free functions. The order of a console.log or a return versus an increment matters in JS. We write a lot of procedural code in JS where order matters (a lot) already.

In that matter, Hooks can just melt into the "procedural" background of JS.

That said, I still feel like I want a better solution than "lint errors" for things like accidental branches of a Hook. I don't have any more of a proposal for how that would work or what that would mean than the article here, though, unfortunately.

I would be very interested to see an analysis of exactly why laying track in NYC is more expensive than in other cities/countries. "Politics" is a very nebulous reason—if that is indeed the cause—I'd love to see more detail on where in our political system, and why, etc.

I'm sure part of the problem is that subway workers in NYC are well-paid, but that's probably not all of it.

It really really isn't. This is the type of exaggeration why I find that sub insufferable.

So you failed to communicate effectively with a coworker, which resulted in an hour of downtime.

Nope. He was privy to our stopping the flow of business logic into the DB/ORM code. He failed to realize the implications and communicate with us.

Pure projection. Of course that's a problem. Thanks for disqualifying yourself up front.
>You're assuming that the idea is so sticky that you can't avoid it if you hear it.

Often times, it is.

Many people who fall into conspiratorial thinking believe themselves to be the victims of elaborate campaigns of propaganda, mind control, gaslighting, etc. Many also reject the mainstream rationales behind arguments against their beliefs as being fallacious or misinformation, and interpret attempts to convince them otherwise as validation of their fears.

Such people don't arrive at their beliefs by logical inference, their conspiracies serve an emotional need, similar to belief in cults or extremist religion. It can be comforting to "realize" there are puppetmasters pulling the strings behind the mundane chaos of the world, and that you alone can see the facade. Even if those puppetmasters are malicious, you know they're there, you know there's a plan.

Conspiracies are about making sense of a senseless world, and that's why it can be difficult to turn people away from them. No one wants to live a meaningless life in a world of arbitrary and ultimately purposeless cruelty.

Let's phrase it differently: agile causes two teams to desync.

If for whatever reason to teams become siloed and are agile: if their sprints don't line up, then requirement thrashing causes agile hell.
A needs Y
B is working on X

Given timelines: B must quickly switch to Y or A must implement it without support from B.

This happens on occasion, without someone to reign in affected parties: things rot faster from be features than can be managed

Why isn't the how-docs tested? I don't work in ops or anything like that, but it seems to me that it'd be the best way to ensure everything stays up to date.

In Rust (and many other languages), when you document a function, you usually add a code snippet that explains how to use this function. That code snippet will be treated as a unit test and ran when testing the functionality. In this way, documentation is always up to date (assuming the tests are ran).

Why can't tool documentation be the same? The tool documentation usually contains a sample tool invocation. All we need to do is run the tool in a controlled environment, and ensure that the invocation runs successfully. When a tool gets updated, run the "documentation tests" to ensure all the commands in the docs still run successfully. If they don't, then update the docs. Surely, there are tools out there that already do this? Does anyone know?
I don't think that's how it works. Coal is fungible, and is not in short supply. Putting out the fire would not increase the amount of coal being used industrially, nor would it decrease the cost of coal. It would just eliminate one of many sources of CO2. So a net win in global warming terms.

If I was in their shoes I would be pissed of with my employer for making "beg" the customers for getting my salary.

As much as people dislike the new tax bill that was passed, it does contain some good moves, namely reducing the amount of mortgage interest that people can deduct from their taxes. Personally, I'd like to go even further and eliminate all government support to Freddie and Fannie. This would remove a lot of government backstops which would cause short term pain, but produce long term gain in the form of a more stable housing market.
