Code is a medium; consequently, artists will use it to make art. I would agree that most of the examples you cited are artistic, but this does not make programming an art form, any more than a beautiful sword makes swordsmithing an art form or a beautiful sewer pipe makes civil engineering an art form.

This gives me an interesting idea: perhaps what makes something an art form is simply the degree to which it is done idly. I take it back: swordsmithing is an art form, but only in modern times, because we now produce swords primarily for their aesthetic value, rather than their utility in slaying foes. Likewise, programming today is mostly in the service of creating useful things to satisfy immediate needs -- but it's not hard to imagine a future where all programming is done by AI, and humans only program for fun. In that scenario, I think I would be much more willing to label it an art form.
There is a longer story.

Around 2006, everyone trying to sell digital music was failing because it wasn’t compatible with the iPod. The music industry was trying to get control back from Apple. They wanted Apple to license FairPlay. Apple refused and Jobs posted his alternative to Apples home page - let everyone sell DRM free music.

The music industry wanted Apple to allow variable pricing, sell albums only, pay a license fee on each iPod sold to them, and pay a deposit to insure against piracy.

Apple refused all of their demands.

So the music industry started licensing every other competitor to sell DRM free music that did acquiesce to their demand in 2007. Only one publisher was on board with Apple from day one -EMI.

That was the same year the iPhone came out. Apples license didn’t allow them to sell music over cellular. That’s why you could only by music on the phone when it was connected to WiFi the first year.

The next year, Apple did come to an agreement with the other labels.

The movie industry didn’t make the same mistake. They license movie rental and purchases to all comers from day one. Besides, unlike the days of the non connected iPods. You could buy a movie from anywhere (except Apple) and stream to any device.

How do you define immature? AI seems to be quite immature even compared to other subjects in computer science, which is as a whole quite young.
Apple has the footer links in a footer tag with role=contentinfo, which is somewhat appropriate (The role=contentinfo is somewhat unnecessary, since a top-level footer already implies it, but it doesn't hurt). Not all navigation has to be in a nav tag. To quote the HTML spec:

> Not all groups of links on a page need to be in a nav element — the element is primarily intended for sections that consist of major navigation blocks. In particular, it is common for footers to have a short list of links to various pages of a site, such as the terms of service, the home page, and a copyright page. The footer element alone is sufficient for such cases; while a nav element can be used in such cases, it is usually unnecessary.

You can argue that what Apple has here is comprehensive enough to warrant being called out as a navigation, especially since the structure there doesn't appear to be immediately accessible from other page sections, but it's not clear cut, and it's likely a predictable pattern for a user of assistive technologies that company homepages have such footers.
Tax compliance can be high because the people with the most to lose just buy themselves loopholes - eg there's no requirement to file an FBAR for fine art! Enforcement resources can then be focused on keeping the middle class in line.

Pay unto Caesar and all that. But avoiding taxes through financial privacy is not equivalent to stealing. And certainly don't imply that an empire's aggressive wars are in any way akin to local community services!
I call this the Netflix ML effect.

If your answer is mission critical, probabilistic ML isn't advanced, explainable, or reliable enough for your problem.

If your answer is of the great-to-be-right, meh-to-be-wrong sort (e.g. ranking movie recommendations), then you can and should go nuts with ML.

And if someone really wants to do an ML project on the former, do everything you can to transform it into the latter.
My question is "is it illegal to manufacture an airliner in the US without FAA approval, providing it's never actually flown in the US?"

It's somewhat abstract, but it's an interesting question to me, which is why I asked. Does the FAA's authority to regulate aircraft construction come from Congress specifically delegating authority over aircraft construction to them- or does the FAA only effectively have the ability to control construction because they can prevent the aircraft from flying in US airspace?
One of the reasons why dogs gnaw on bones is to get at the marrow inside.
When I have an idea for something, usually someone else has already been working on it. I remember when I read about peltier cooling in high school in popular mechanics or something like that, and I thought "this would be a neat way to cool a microprocessor". Practically the next week, it seemed like, Apple came out with the Power Mac 8100/110, which was the first personal computer (that I know of anyway) that had that cooling technique.
One's a school alumni group, and one is a subcommunity of the same group.
Yes, you always want the minimum amount which will ensure good contact across the whole surface. You should be pressing (hard) to mate the surfaces and squeeze out excess thermal transfer medium anyway. Desktop/server CPU sockets typically have a mechanical lever action to do that for you and secure the package in place.
I am not sure about other languages, but I have been programming in Java for many years, and Typescript does what Java does (minus performance on a long running VM on CPU bound computations) at a rate that I assume should be sufficient for most (business) apps, without any bloat.

Can you elaborate on promise fatigue. In our setup we use async/await and the latest ES (although most of us prefer not using decorators if we don't have to - only used it with mobx for UI code) bundled through webpack.

I am not sure what you mean by poor eco-system either. Both JS and TS (increasingly), I feel like is the second best eco-system (in terms of libraries and tooling) after a mainstream language like Java.

There are some warts I think in JS (around numbers, stream handling in pipes), but I think very few languages don't, and it depends on how likely you would be fiddling in those areas.

Extra tax on build pipeline cannot be escaped for anything with any complexity.

I feel like anyone who can write a complex app in good js, refactoring along the way at good speed, and meeting deadlines along the way and not introducing too many regressions, and come back and maintain it after a 6 month context switch, either has way too much time on his hands and/or works too many hours, or is much more smarter than I am and has it figured out.
> Normal thermal paste is conductive also, including the AS5

The vast majority of thermal paste is non-conductive, including AS5.
Extended simmering (>6 hours) releases much of the nutrients in bones, too - collagen, gelatin, fats, minerals. I frequently slow-cook whole chickens and small bones become so soft they can easily be eaten after about 24 hours. Of course, you don't want to over-do this due to issues like histamine and lead.
How will this affect analytics with tracking pixels, etc?
Some animals like snakes simply swallow prey whole. Dogs and pigs are known for eating hastily with minimal chewing, and I'd imagine many other predators are the same. No idea how efficiently their respective digestive systems extract nutrients from solid mammal chunks.
There's a ton of dumb, rich money in Miami pushing prices up to embezzle money out of corrupt regimes all over the world. When things get bad, they'll just find the next place and fly out on private jets. Those flying commercial will be left holding the bag.

Just remember that Miami Beach isn't Miami. There are a lot of Miami residents who don't feel like putting a dime into Miami Beach because it's only tourists and foreigners.

Not really .. you can just have the page / content duration bounce around a bit as you scroll down in rare cases where image size is dictating layout :/ .. we see that pretty frequently in post page display ad fill pushing thing around ( and in some cases ads loading when you scroll )
There's a link explaining how it's done!

It tries things in this order:

1. If the full image is present and fresh in the cache, then use that.

2. Otherwise, if the server supports range requests, and the image dimensions can be decoded from the first 2KB of the image, then generate and show an image placeholder with the same dimensions.

3. Otherwise, fetch the entire full image from the server as usual.

So, it'll only lazy-load images if it's in the cache or certain criteria is met. Also, it seems like it's opt-in using an attribute, so the implementer of the website can avoid it if they're worried. But overall, there won't be any reflow issues.

The reason I ask is because I specifically am interested in those who have the professional confidence to be held responsible if something goes wrong (even in complex situations; e.g. a warped chassis).
They address this in the linked document, and note that if you’re depending on offscreen elements to load content from your server, that will no longer necessarily work.
" Issues like Promise-fatigue"

Actually, async-await is a nice feature of the JS paradigm that simplifies things and that I miss in the threaded world of Java.

But yes - use TS where you would have used JS, but TS up against other, more classical languages may not be the right choice for a lot of non-web projects.
It's still a bit bizarre watching the western world switch form carbs good, fat bad to carbs bad fat good in the span of like a decade.
The commercials are the public-facing tip of a much larger iceburg of enterprise-scale sales and marketing. Big institutions gave Watson a shot because they created a machine that maximized FOMO with intriguing demos, reduced risk with the "nobody gets fired for buying IBM effect", and perhaps most importantly pitches projects that were large enough to move the needle and make the career of a high level administrator.

When you realize how much positioning is required for large scale sales, you can start to understand why the same company might not have the feedback loops in place to build a product.
What is the suction cup for?
Given populations of primates who use rocks to break nuts and shellfish open, I would not be shocked if this is a trait that primates evolved many times in various contexts. Still, most felids and canids (as others point out) crush bones routinely for marrow. Between that and the likelihood of more than just one ancestral tool users I’m skeptical anytime claims of one major factor leading to big brains come out.

I bet more than one factor was at play, and it probably involved some early forms of coordination through communication, the ability to carry things in hands while running, tool use, diet, and selection pressures.
I share the sentiment about the amazing scores that many JRPGs come with. They really do help with the immersion.

Of somewhat recent JRPGs, I found NieR:Automata to be a superb masterpiece, both in the musical compositions led by Keichii Okabe and the underlying themes explored within the game itself.
There are quite a few people taking old cars such as Porsches and electrifying them. I think they may be using some Tesla parts.

I would like to take an old car and install a small battery, a small engine, and a big electric motor. Because if you are all engine you need a big thirsty engine, and if you are all battery you need a big heavy battery, but if you just need power for say 10 seconds of acceleration, you can have a small battery, and if you just need a big enough engine for the average power usage, you can have a very small engine, and if you have a powerful electric motor, you can still accelerate quickly.
The decision is easier when you have conversations and put wishes in writing before they are necessary. And update them as needed.

My dad has ESRD and we've had some conversations about what he would want at the end. Many of the potential issues we've discussed involve getting 2nd+ opinions if necessary... but he also makes it clear (and I agree with him) that at some point the treatment and recovery process itself might not be worth it for an unknown recovery for him.

I think this communication respects that this is a difficult decision, and I've come to the conclusion that decisions can be reached that may not be the "best" objective decision (e.g surviving another 33 years) but it is a decision that the person supports, so that you as a survivor can be at peace with it too. So like, if my dad were in a situation similar to your relative - I already know that he would feel that the numerous procedures and years of recovery outweigh 33 more years of life. I would not seek full treatment. Knowing this makes me at peace with anything that can happen, more than anything else we could do.

I was inspired largely by Atul Gawande's book "Being Mortal" - where he talks about and discusses ways that we can figure out how to live our life at the end, rather than be worried about death.
CUDA delivered a 10x to 100x performance boost on legacy code for real. The hardware had been capable of doing this for at least a generations previously but it lacked a few operations to make it accessible and efficient.

What I think made people miss it is no one wanted to refactor their code to run efficiently on GPUs. It wasn't that hard to do so in a lot of cases but it was work.

And all this set the stage for deep learning. It was the opening act if you will...
Kenya's population:

Overpopulation is the root cause of these problems. It seems that if we don't manage population levels ourselves, mother nature will do it for us.
Yeah that’s definitely no longer the case.

Great write up! I do find the Australian system a bit confusing but that is basically because on the NHS in the UK there are literally no "costs" other than prescription costs. It seems a much simpler way but as you can see there the gubberment doesn't like this because they can't make money off it.

I am very happy with the healthcare in Australia so far (I haven't had to use it much thankfully) and like the NHS there will always be waiting times for non urgent surgeries - I think most people would prefer than than a 6 figure bill (which they can also choose to have if they go private)...
Why do you imagine types slow velocity? My experience is the opposite. I occasionally prototype in Go and then backport to Python (to integrate with our application) because I can iterate so much more quickly (yes, Python has type annotations, but the ergonomics are poor and the type checker is immature).
The main difference is simplicity. D has a lof of features, like classes, inheritance, exceptions, properties, etc. Muon is a much simpler language that specifically avoids all of those things.
A good rule would be to keep MCAS active, choosing to use the sensor that produces the less-extreme adjustment.

" people have written apps with vanilla JavaScript for a very long time now, and it works just fine. "

No, it doesn't, or else TS would not exist.

TS just outclasses JS on almost every front, it's not a religious statement, it's generally true: TS is the standard, it just has too many advantages over JS to allow JS inside the roost.

Though article is only misleading to the point wherein they're talking about TS vs other languages, for solving other problems.
Yeah lottery is a crap shoot. The market is a skill. If a person were to equate a lottery to the market, then they have a lot of reading to do. See poor people buy the lottery tickets because they have no hope and see it as a way out. The stock market is the rich person's backyard. The lottery is in a way, a tax on the poor.

The rate at which time passes is relative.

You can in fact express this in terms of "seconds/second", as in how many seconds pass in some other reference frame for each second in yours. In that sense, the "speed of time" can in fact be meaningful.

Relativity provides a more rigorous way of modeling this, treating spacetime as a four-dimensional manifold. When you move through the spatial dimensions relative to some reference frame, the rate of your motion through time is reduced relative to that same reference frame. This is commonly modeled on a spacetime diagram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_diagram

As far as I know (my wife is an emergency physician), despite what the name suggest, CPR is not really for "bringing back". Is a technique to keep the blood flowing so the brain doesn't suffer damage until other techniques are applied. Also, as she explained to me, the defibrillator is only used on certain kind of arrests, it can actually make things worse on others.
Unfortunately, there are still many cancers detected far too late for effective treatment. It sounds like you were indeed fortunate to have a less aggressive form. AI for cancer screening generally falls under the category of "Computer-Aided Detection" or CAD. The commercial and academic CAD efforts tend to be organized by the primary anatomical site of cancer and the detection method (e.g. X-Ray, CT-Scan, PET, ultrasound, blood test) . Was your primary the pancreas or intestine? Are you wanting to contribute to an imaging detection method or something else? I might be able to help you identify someone working in the area depending on your goals.

They note that Android battery saver may enable this by default unless the HTML specifically says otherwise. (Search for “or unset”.) Once they have enough data, perhaps in a year or two, it is likely they’ll extend that to all platforms for memory and battery life savings.

This reminds me of this Planet Money episode about a town, where people casually talk about their terminal treatments and death. It turned out that most people chose a rather natural death when the choices are given. It was originally started by a nurse who wanted to reduce the burden of a family, but the town ended up with the lowest Medicare spending because of this community custom. It was a very thought provoking.

About 20 years ago I was married to someone whose father had a wrecking yard. I was out there and noticed some computer parts, so I dug around and found the major parts of a PDP-11, including one of those TTY printer/keyboard consoles. (http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/la36.jpg) Unfortunately, years of sitting outside in Western Oregon weather had damaged it beyond any hope of repair.
There's some visibly new pumping stations and some that shut down, but they don't run these. As a result, they're left to the city to mismanage and have normal storms turn into bad floods. I'm not being political here, this is fact with people walking off the job or just not doing their job.

The city's sewer systems are completely busted and need way more than $14b to fix.

Yeah the Corps fixed what they broke, but there's not a lot of new investment by them.
Going from a high carb diet to a high fat diet was amazing.

"Wait instead of feeling omnipresent urges to overeat and snack, my satiety system actually works? I stop getting dips in energy throughout the day?"

I don't subscribe to New Scientist's trick title or the theories of nutrient limited mammalian brain evolution.

Compare brain size of carnivore species with herbivores - there is no overt division in average or max brain size. Generally, herbivorous mammals seem to evolve brains just as large as carnivorous ones. Elephants, orangutans, gorillas grow big brains on a vegetarian diet.

If predator diets contain a special surplus of evolutionary-brain-growing nutrients, a few predator species should manifest that claim ~ besides our own artful and fire cooking one.

I don’t tend to write or encounter many complex higher order functions in other languages. Are they common in JS?
What usually slows me down about dynamically typed code is you have some variable returned by a function only denoted by var myVariable = myFunction(); and I'm sitting there staring at thinking... "what are the contents of that variable? what properties do I have access to on that object? what can I do with it?"

And figuring that out becomes a massive time suck when that's a constant across an entire code base. Statically typed stuff means I can very quickly find that out even if it's the first time i'm exploring that particular area of the code.
> returning vector<string> is an unaffordable convenience.

Not anymore since C++11.

Reusing vector storage is good, but you can still use move on parameter and not the reference.

Although, in this case, reference is probably easier to write.

Sadly, hybrids make sense to the degree that batteries don't. Although an electric motor and its rudimentary cooling system are trivial compared to a combustion engine and it's attendant systems, it starts to make sense when you consider that 1 gallon of gasoline buys you the energy available from a ~40 kWh battery.

Heck, battery electrics arent' even strictly dominant over hydrogen electrics. Hydrogen makes a lot of sense in some applications, what does it say about batteries if people are willing to go to the hassle of developing fuel cells just to get around chemical batteries?
We had the exact opposite problem with doctors. My mother was near-unconscious, suffering intensely and we wanted it to end. The doctors could not and would not give her a quick exit. We finally got a family friend doctor to prescribe fentanyl and we administered all the patches at once and she died within 12 hours.
