Then my entire point is that you need to say that! For me Linux freezes noticeably more often than Windows so hearing how I can recover more easily from it is cold comfort and makes no sense. For something like this you just can't assume people know how often your system freezes or otherwise all have the same experience as you.
Yeah that's exactly what I'm doing right now. I put myself in an endless learning loop just to "check" every box. I jump from one tool/system to another and try to master everything before start applying to any IT job.
Conversely, if you create an app and optimize it so that users spend way too much time in it relative to what they need, you'll probably rake in lots of money, but you'll also be responsible for much more value being destroyed for your users.

> because the intent of a CC is to emulate a knob on a synth .

The intent of CC is to facilitate control changes. Higher range means greater flexibility in what exactly this means. Just off the top of my head I can think of at least one realistic application where 360000 discrete steps simply wouldn't suffice but a higher range control protocol would be useful: precision audio seeking, because recorded audio used in music is often longer than 360000 samples.

Plenty of potential applications of control change messages where 16 bits would be insufficient, for example precision seeking through recorded audio.

> Yes, what rust claims is memory safety, not safety from all forms of bugs. If you don't want wrapping integers, you can compile with a flag to panic on overflow, or use types in std that will have the behavior you want.

Which was the point! High level languages have many more safety features than Rust have, such as non-wrapping integers. Trading those features for performance is foolish.

Claiming Rust or any other low-level language is on an "equal footing" with Python or any other high-level language because you have this and that feature is facetious. In C you can write your own types with bounds checking and even your own garbage collector to make your programs memory safe. Using dumb arguments like these we can claim C is as safe as Python. But the arguments are dumb because that is not how programs are written in the real world.

In the same way, claiming Rust is as safe as Python because it has a flag (that no one uses because it makes your programs twice as slow!) to perform wrap around checking and types in the standard library with correct behavior is dumb. It is what happens IN PRACTICE that matters.
To me the slides dont help understanding what it is and what i can do with it / what it can do for me...

I suppose it depends what you do with your phone?

Even with a slower processor I have no problems believing it may be better for certain workloads because you won't have a load of background tasks running, that don't need to etc.

I was wondering the same thing. I don't think the average person have terabytes or even gigabytes of data stored at home. Every time I start a project I make a remote git repo. Music and photos are handled by cloud services... Not that I have photos I really care about, but I'm sure other people do. Documents and configuration files are backup up using Tarsnap, but that's 100Mb at the most.

We had a similar debate at work, where I questioned the need for backup of my workstation, arguing that there's nothing on it that's not also in git, on a network share, in LastPass or the mail server. Apparently only two people out of a hundred, me and the CEO, do have important stuff stored solely on our workstations.

Calling people with 4Tb of data hoarders may be a little unnecessary, but I do question how much of that data is ever going to be accessed in the future.
Yeah forgot Krita (sorry Krita) but I from the few I gathered, I agree.

Is this the recommended order to read/learn them in? If I was primarily concerned with getting up to par with math for the sake of being able to actually understand everyone's favorite algorithms textbooks, would you still suggest working through all of these, or could you recommend an abridged list?
> If you remove it, you get something that is not a programming language, but that is strictly more expressive. So, if all specifications of computations (programs) in your language can be interpreted/compiled into an executable, it necessarily follows that it is less expressive than TLA+.

> While programming languages could add constructs for such specifications (contracts/dependent types) they cannot compile them into an executable. This means that you get a language that really contains two separate languages (and they must be separate for compilation to work), one for nondeterministic specification and one for deterministic specification, with only the latter used to describe actual computation, and resulting in a language that is both an exceptionally complex specification language and an exceptionally complex programming language -- basically the worst of both worlds.

I'm not convinced. Using "phantom types" to express additional specifications that don't get compiled is a fairly common/widespread technique (indeed any use of generics in Java could be considered an example). There is a lot of overlap between the things you want to do with specifications and the things you want to do with executable code (composition, structuring, reuse), and in a lot of simple cases (plumbing rather than logic - but I'd estimate that's the majority of business code) one can be inferred directly from the other. So to my mind there's a lot of value to be had from a language that integrates specification and executable and is able to express both.

Ex-video game developer here. The games industry uses those exact metrics to measure their success.

I decided to leave the games industry after it was revealed that our latest release had a 14 year old kid who was playing, non-stop in 48-hour bursts .. and the game company execs loved it. Like, they were ecstatic that they had this 14-year olds' attention like that.

That was enough for me to realise that the video game industry is destructive, and has evil intent for our society...

The very definition of a "symbol" presupposes that there is some entity, which assigns meaning to that symbol. Well, unless you assume that the Nature itself conscious, it does not operate in the terms of symbols and symbolic computations. You can possibly claim that the elementary particles are the symbols of the Nature, and all the physical processes are computations involving such symbols but that would be a degenerate case, which won't help your argument. Mind is a natural phenomenon, which arises as a result of a certain physical process, in matter organized in a certain way. That is all. Until we learn why it happens in that type of matter, we would not be able to recreate minds.
Why? Even though it makes me clueless, i dont see how it’s more crazy than many other things people do to themselves, others, and the environment. Having a few crazy people doing some physical and mental exercises and calling that Operating Systems (as far as my understanding of it goes as of yet) is neither the craziest nor the most dangerous thing i’ve seen on this planet...

All of that is way more intuitive for a regular user than entering even one string of text in a terminal. People aren't trained to enter case-sensitive, exact-match strings of text in any input nowadays. Product designers are trying to eliminate the few times users are forced to do so (login forms, and again the difference with login is that the text is familiar to the user). The CLI feels too much like coding for regular users.

This is a bit of a niche recommendation, but Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 is a fantastic game. For those not familiar, Pandemic is a cooperative game where you work with other players to travel around the globe and stop a global pandemic.

The legacy variant adds new elements of the game which unlock and change the board, characters, and rules as you play. On my opinion, it's best best played with the same group of four people over the course of several months. (Each session takes a couple hours and there will be 12-24 depending on how the game progresses.) I can't speak to the quality of Season 2 as I haven't found a crew to play with yet.

I've looked into touchscreen support on Linux and it was very disappointing. You can fiddle most things to a workable level eventually, but no matter which implementation, there does seem to be a lack of integration for the virtual keyboard, i.e. it doesn't pop up when I touch an input field or won't go away when the input field loses focus. Overall it was pretty awful. Since I wanted to use the device in tablet mode (without hardware keyboard), I have to run Windows for now :(

This example is particularly good because they didn't even say "I get it, but I don't like it" or "I think it'd be better if..."

Having done this recently, I think I can explain.

For most techs the documentation or website for that tech explains the simplest use case. For graphql, from your example, the guide for graphql is really clean and thorough and doesn’t depend on you knowing anything else.

But it’s also completely useless when it comes to implemention for the average user, who probably doesn’t want to design a graphql server and frontend from scratch. Implementation is where the work is, and it can be very difficult to implement a working example in a real application (which often have more complicated things going on).

With graphql, you won’t be able to experiment with it without both a backend and a frontend. By necessity that means you need a server (express or tails or whatever) and you’re probably using React or something similar in the frontend.

JS in particular is also kind of a mess in terms of ecosystem. That’s a whole other can of worms.
Whichever OS you use is the one that will give you the most problems, and once in a while problems that are difficult to fix that require the command line.

I've never come even close to that with Windows.

A lot of human existence is emotional transfer underneath.

ps: to elaborate, we want to share things with other beings, when we bond over positive emotions, our mind get engaged, motivated, open, happy. As an example, my college math class was mostly the bottom of the barrel (me included). Our teacher though, was very invested both in the topic and in making us understand. Nobody cared at first, but with time, even the most uninterested of us ended coming on optional weekend classes. Why ? He cared. There are other similar stories about management. Dehumanized management creates more problems, a simple honest/respectful manager, even if harsh, will get 10x more results.

I just cancelled Netflix for this exact reason. I find the entire platform to be anti-consumer. Auto playing videos with sound, automatically playing the next episode to encourage binging, changing cover art to give you the illusion of fresh content always arriving, television series that are 10+ episodes long for no reason other than to extend hours viewed.

Don’t get me wrong, Netflix does have some good content, but I finally realized that the way the platform is designed is gross.
Slightly off topic, but still some questions that have been bothering me for a while:

LiDAR for autonomous vehicles is cool and all, but how will this perform if there is not the occasional car making test runs through town, but when all vehicles on a busy road or intersection are equipped with a one or more units?

I understand that both radar and ultrasonic suffer from interference, so will this be different?

Are there plans for doing any kind of (cooperative?) frequency or time division to avoid interference between cars?

How DOS-able would LiDAR be? Would I be able to bring traffic downtown LA to a halt in 2040 by bringing my portable LiDAR jammer?

It’s because one of their primary metrics is hours viewed. Netflix needs you constantly watching hours and hours of content so you feel you’re getting “value” and don’t cancel.

To do all of this, they constantly need to be financing new content, despite the fact that a lot of it isn’t very good.
