These are different issues, though.

For example, the color was a UX design decision - WPF made it possible to do theming easier, but even so, doing it instead of using stock controls actually required extra effort. But, speaking of colors and preferences - when VS 2012 went with its "black and white" color theme a couple years later, a lot of people actually demanded specifically the return of the blue VS2010 theme. Which is why it's still there today.

As for macros, it was essentially on life support for several releases prior to all that. It was essentially a separate subproduct, coming from Office originally (since it also uses VBA for scripting), but forked ages ago, and not well maintained... and it was completely broken by changing the GUI framework. So the choice was basically to rewrite or drop it at that point, and a rewrite would require substantial work - on par with the rest of the product, really. And with <1% of VS users using macros at all, it was very hard to justify a rewrite.

I would agree, though, that WPF was not a stellar framework at the time. But, ironically, VS adopting it made it better in so many ways - for example, WPF font rendering was fixed (to be less blurry) largely because of user feedback in VS2010. Perf was improved substantially, as well.
> All of the subtleties of measure theory, which occupy most of what mathematical measure theorists/analysts work on, are introduced when you assume you've got an infinity or a continuum somewhere in a model, and that assumption is never borne out in practice.

That's not entirely fair. People doing controls work with continuous-time models often enough, so there are some practical benefits.

I agree with the rest of your comment though.
Sad sad day, economy on the upper deck of an AirFrance/KLM A380 is the most quiet, most space long haul flight you can get, my default way to go Europe
<--> Japan and Europe <--> US.
Japanese airports are ridiculously efficient. I've gone through both Narita and Haneda a numerous times and it's never taken me more than 15 minutes to get through, even with an international flight. I can't quite remember how long they recommend for domestic flights, but I think it's 1 hour (i.e. 30 minutes before boarding).

Narita is right out for time to get there (like your scenario, it will take more than an hour to take a train there and make it to the check in desk). However, Haneda is only 19 minutes from Tokyo station by monorail. If you live in the more populated areas of Tokyo, it's probably not any more or less convenient than taking the Shinkansen.

Coincidentally, Fukuoka airport is only 3 km away from Hakata station (though you have to take a shuttle bus Edit: It's actually 2 stations away on the metro -- I didn't know this!). So in this example, it's really 6 of one half a dozen of the other. You end up in practically the same spot. I think this is one of the reasons why people fly to Fukuoka. In the other direction, I would probably fly to Sapporo if I needed to get there quickly, but would take the train if I was going anywhere in the Tohoku region (NE region of the main island). The main reason is that the Shinkansen stops at Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto and then you have to take a different train to Sapporo. When they finally have a line going all the way to Sapporo, I think it will be competitive because it takes an hour to get from Chitose airport to Sapporo station.

Since you bring up raw livestream footage, a quality example of a documentary which is just livestream footage is Jesus Camp. It's quite fascinating because the people who were filmed believe they are accurately represented (which they explicitly say in follow up interviews). But usually people that watch the film are horrified of the interviewees dogma.

It's an interesting example of genuinely truthful documentarionism.

> Pretty much all of the things you'd want in a relational database are now present in Mongodb too.

On the "relational" front, it has denormalized-only schema validation and limits transactions to replica sets (so no transactions with sharding), while also recommending single-document transactions over multi-document transaction via denormalization. (FWIW, transactions aren't available in any open source release).

On the "database" front, it has a history of misleading users and remorselessly dropping data.

> Postgres will get you pretty far

Postgres is an actual relational database, open source, battle-proven with a good design and a great team behind it. It never claimed to be good at, let alone capable of, doing things it could not actually do (well, or at all).

> but beyond a certain point the scaling story breaks down and you have to hack some sort of user space sharding solution.

Scaling IS a hard thing, and presents itself quite differently to different use-cases. Nevertheless, horizontally scaling Postgres — for when one truly hits the petabyte-scale — is a problem that has been solved correctly many times before (out of core). For a similar-to-MongoDB method, check out Citus, with the assurance that it only adds to an actual database; as opposed to the MongoDB way of doing things: make up and promise magic scaling solutions that "Just Work", then try to build a database on top of it.
Would you use Postgres for developing something like, say, iTunes? I’d think SQLite would be a much more “natural” fit there.

It's been forever since I looked at this stuff, sorry. But I think Bourbaki's shortcut to integration theory via continuous linear functionals only works in locally compact spaces. It doesn't let you construct the Wiener measure on a path space corresponding to Brownian motion or other continuous-time stochastic processes. And the example I gave of the conceptual, information-theoretic role played by sigma algebras in stochastic processes shows that sidestepping them is the wrong move for probability theory, even if they weren't used for some of the advanced technical constructions like Wiener measure.

Bourbaki's shortcut to Radon measures is very elegant but it's noteworthy that unlike many other Bourbaki innovations I don't think it was picked up by other textbook authors. Already at that point there was a mathematical consensus that measure theory was a valuable part of the foundations of modern mathematics and shouldn't be eliminated or minimized.

Outside probability theory, measure theory is primarily used as a foundation for integration ("expectation"). There are also more specialist subjects like geometric measure theory; there's an excellent introductory textbook called Measure Theory and Fine Properties of Functions, and if you look at its table of contents you can get an idea of the breadth of topics.

Again, this sounds highly speculative. Do you have any citation for it? It isn't like any bank or service is comparing your voice. And if all they needed was a yes, unfortunately, there are too many ways of getting a yes from someone.

Obviously when talking to any of these scammers my 'identity' is entirely fictional.

When even simple things like navigation or animations take hours of research to get right.

When a developer suggests spending "hours of research" on a problem is enough to make them abandon a potential technology, I don't often think the problem lies with the technology.

For what it's worth my team uses React Native and we've faced the same problems; we solved it by making sure every project has one dev capable of doing the lower level native work. That still means the rest of the team can be web developers, who are much easier to hire because more people know that stack. That alone makes RN a good bet despite its quirks.

I agree, that's about the only bit of complexity in all this. But it's completely generic, so it can be made into a small library, and then reused without dealing with the complexity every time. For example:

I never got this. Why not just run the browser in a VM, capture the screen and do a mouse click. I mean, why bother with all the headless nonsense which is an arms race. How could google possible ever defeat something that never ever even goes near the operating environment and just appears as a simple human mouse click?

I suppose you’d have to simulate the human movement of the mouse over to make it look like a human actually did it, but how hard can that be? Just train it with a few 100 Turks moving mouse pointers to click on links.

Though an interesting counter measure might be to inject cpu spikes and measure the impact in the mouse movements and the robot controlling it.

Must be a fun job, both sides.
A garden doesn't stop being walled if the walls are glass, and thus transparent.

Walls are about control of what's inside of them, including keeping users locked in when they get inside. Using custom proprietary protocols and not giving an easy way to get at your own data are two common aspects.

EDIT:

There are degrees to being walled garden. Slack is one, pure and simple. My scanning of Spectrum's site did not reveal ease of export or FOSS mentioned anywhere on the main page, or on the features subpage, so I immediately assumed it's pretty much as walled as Slack. Now that other replies mention it, I did find a Github icon at the very bottom, linking to some repositories, so maybe the walls aren't as high and thick as I assumed.

Is being hosted on a central server operated by a third party, without federation features, a wall? Technically, yes. But a small one, relatively easy to scale. Personally, as long as I can get all my data out, and as long as I can easily interoperate with it from outside of the garden, I'm comfortable with that. Closed protocols are essentially barbed wire.

It's funny how animal cognition and animal welfare tend to be conflated. We are projecting our own empathy in a very irrational way. E.g. eating dogs is being frowned upon in large parts of the world because our empathy gets in the way. Even though it is a perfectly good source of protein. However, We eat pork and beef without much guilt even even though especially pigs are apparently quite smart compared to e.g. a purse sized dog with a brain the size of a pea. It's completely irrational. Cuddly-ness rather than cognition seems to be what drives our empathy.

If you think about it, everything that lives (cognitive or not) also dies. Mostly this happens of natural causes and a lot of that involves being eaten by something else or if you lucky enough to avoid that by dying some long and painful death because of some disease, parasites, or accident. Natural death is mostly not very pleasant and typically really nasty even.

So considering that, I feel quite OK about eating animals. The alternative of not eating them means that they would not have lived at all or that they would have died a nasty "natural" death. So, I'm not saving them from some terrible fate by not eating them.

Arguably, it's the opposite (or it can be). If we stop eating meat, there are entire species of farm animals that will likely go extinct because they only exist because we breed them. So, we stop the cruelty of killing them that hurts our feelings but we instead wipe out their existence. Not that I'm advertising animal cruelty but I'd say modern responsible farming produces good quality lives for the animals and good quality meat when we end them in a way that is comparatively quick and painless to what nature has to offer. I enjoy eating meat but am aware that eating a bit less is probably good for me.
Interesting, I didn't see any mention of cost with a casual search through the pages. Presumably they are planning on paying their developers with something at some point?
A shame. I've flown the A380 from SFO to Frankfurt, and man was that a nice flight. There was a noticeable difference in my jet lag. And when I first got on, I was sure the row number was wrong or there were skipped rows or something, but no, I just kept walking and walking and sure enough eventually I got to row 90!
> they could be the fastest. In terms of speed, I-80's got nothing on a 200mph TGV

From station to station, sure. From door to door, it's more complicated.
Shame. Anyone who's flown from LAX to Sydney knows how much better the A380 is than the 7X7.

And yet Google is investing into Kotlin.

Yes, Java takes it slow because its target market - enterprises - want it, and they have good reason to. There's nothing wrong with that. All I'm saying is that there are many other niches where developers find lagging too far behind other available options, and there's a noticeable decline in its use because of that.

And so the analogy with PostgreSQL in this case isn't working well.
> Can these fly with two engines?

In an emergency, yes. But they can't take off with two engines. And if they are cruising with only two engines they go a lot slower.

Yes, but it would be foolish. The plane was designed for long-haul flights, and it would be ridiculously un-economical on a short route.

I recommend starting with "Philosophy:Who Needs It" which is only indirectly about her philosophy but more about why everyone needs and has some kind of philosophy (i.e. integrated view of life) whether they explicitly identify it or not.

Second book would be "The Virtue of Selfishness" where she challenges the 2000 year old ethic that selflessness and sacrifice are good and argues that selfishness (properly defined) is good and a fundamental virtue for a rational man.

NB: One caveat, she is chronically smeared by her enemies and her ideas are almost always misrepresented in today's world. For example, she is commonly accused of being a hypocrite for accepting social security and medicare toward the end of her life despite advocating against those institutions. She clearly explained the moral principles involved in her essay "The Question of Scholarships". So I highly recommend that you do not accept other's interpretations of what she said or meant without reading her ideas for yourself, firsthand.

> This sure saved them a lot of money and engineering resources.

The 787 development was so poorly planned and executed that it cost Boeing $28 billion in additional unplanned expenditure. And they've kicked that can down the road by booking that as 'deferred costs', an accounting sleight of hand that lets them pretend they haven't spent each dollar until they have earned it on a sale.

Neither company of the duopoly came out of that rivalry looking good.

But at least Airbus has accounted for all the A380 dev costs, no-one has to face that 10 years hence.
