The claim is that automation destroys jobs. This has been historically false, despite claims made each time that “this time it will be different”.

Among the most viable of all economic delusions is the belief that machines on net balance create unemployment.
Let us turn to Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations. The first chapter [...] is called “Of the division of labor,” and on the second page of this first chapter the author tells us that a workman unacquainted with the use of machinery employed in pin-making “could scarce make one pin a day, and certainly not twenty,” but with the use of this machinery he can make 4,800 pins a day. In the pin-making industry there was already, if machines merely throw men out of jobs, 99.98 percent unemployment.
Arkwright invented his cotton-spinning machinery in 1760. At the time it was estimated that there were in England 5,200 spinners using spinning wheels, and 2,700 weavers - in all 7,900 persons engaged in the production of cotton textiles. The introduction of Arkwright’s invention was opposed on the ground that it threatened the livelihood of the workers, and the opposition had to be put down by force. Yet in 1787 [...] the number of persons actually involved in the spinning and weaving of cotton had risen from 7,900 to 320,000, an increase of 4,400 percent.
[...] Technophobes will assert: “That may have been all very well in the past, but today conditions are fundamentally different; and now we simply cannot afford to develop any more labor-saving machines.”
If it were indeed true that the introduction of labor-saving machinery is a cause of constantly mounting unemployment and misery, the logical conclusion to be drawn would be revolutionary, not only in the technical field but for our whole concept of civilization. Not only should we have to regard all further technical progress as a calamity; we should have to regard all past technical progress with equal horror.
There is also an absolute sense in which machines may be said to have enormously increased the number of jobs. The population of the world today is four times as great as in the middle of the 18th century, before the Industrial Revolution had got well under way. Machines may be said to have given birth to this increased population; for without the machines, the world would not have been able to support it. Three out of every four of us, therefore, may be said to owe not only our jobs but our very lives to the machines.

If I understand right, you are suggesting it is "against the spirit of HTML" to write CSS that isn't backwards compatible... infinitely? You have to draw the line somewhere, right? An ancient enough browser won't support CSS at all. Using only CSS that would be supported by a, say, year 2005 browser would also be pretty limiting.

You can choose to do that if you want, but I think your opinion about the "spirit" is a minority one.
Apple will never have a monopoly on phones, but it'll share that honor with Google.
> I also find sites that do everything in rem/em more assessable as the padding also scales if they have a increased font size due to low vision.

If you use Ctrl +/Ctrl - for zoom, then everything scales proportionally regardless of whether you use pixels or rems. You are trying to solve the problem that has been already solved by Opera, and later by other browsers more than 10 years ago.

> Also, hardcoding things instead of using variables makes things harder to maintain.

In my experience, it is the opposite: simple code without implicit dependencies is better. Because the typical task would be to change one part of the page without affecting other parts. With a simple code, I would use DevTools to change the CSS rules and then I would move the changes manually into CSS file. But if the site uses some complicated framework with variables and rems, I will have to spend time learning it, see where is a variable defined, what can be affected if I change it, etc. It just takes more time and nobody of the devs will want to learn your custom-made CSS framework.

It's a tradeoff, like every technology. Streaming video infrastructure and consumption probably creates more CO2 than all crypto put together.

People who don't like the underlying premise of Bitcoin (a currency outside of government control) will tend to highlight the negatives, while people who like the premise of Bitcoin will support the positives. Narratives such as the one presented in this article are an attempt to sway the undecided/uninterested to the "anti-Bitcoin" side. Indeed, the conclusion of the article suggests "regulating" cryptocurrency as a method of controlling emissions, exposing this as another attempt to block the spread of cryptocurrency.
But I'm cheating though using the most interesting and engaging content in human history :)
How much of that can be accounted for by increased population and demand? Has the number of people employed scaled linearly with production and demand?
Reductionist question.

If you're goal is to get someone to "admit" that a software engineer can get paid more in San Francisco than Switzerland, I guess you've won your argument. You can still tell yourself America is the Best Country in the World™.

But as the article indicates, the net worth of the average Swiss is twice that of the average American. The Swiss have found a way to leverage a higher tax rate to less out of pocket cost for their citizens. So you get 20000$ more bucks a year as an American, and then you go ahead and spend it on health insurance or driving a car everywhere.

Now that Carrie Lam has realised that she cannot do whatever she wants (at least on this issue). The criteria, if or when the this amendment will re-surface, will depend on public opinions, instead of whether it's temporarily suspended, or retracted.

While that's true, neither of these are great examples.

Watson probably never said the former.

And, while Olsen said the latter, it was in the context of a centralized computer turning lights on and off and so forth. To be sure, we're arguably starting to get there today (the many issues with smarthome devices notwithstanding). But it's a very different approach (distributed vs. centralized--for better or worse).
It's my understanding that UW offers some undergrad courses in Racket, but apparently they're optional so if you hadn't taken that course you might not know much about functional programming.
I was kind of hoping for a chip that interfaces with the brain. Stores data digitally and responds to brain's request for information. But that's probably the wrong way of thinking about it on multiple levels.

As someone with no knowledge of how this stuff works, I like to imagine that when you try to remember something, your brain sends signals the same connections that were formed when you last saw that thing. It then activates your visual cortex, your auditory cortex and language centers. So you visualize it, see the word, and hear it in your brain, then suddenly you feel as if you know the answer to the thing you were trying to remember.

You can (and probably should) disable Siri on an iPhone and the phone works just great without it.
Oh, I'm sorry. I misread your first claim. I thought you said the benefit WAS linear.
I think that's wrong: the whole point of GANs is that they're quite intelligent and good at faking outputs. I've seen interpolated/in-betweened videos (mostly but not entirely live-action), and it looks realistic to me.

The reason I'm somewhat skeptical is that just because something looks realistic doesn't mean that it what is intended. It's a version of the 'zoom in, enhance, enhance' problem. It's like the _Hobbit_ problem: a GAN could perfectly well fake a 60FPS version of a 30FPS version of the _Hobbit_ such that you couldn't tell that it wasn't the actual 60FPS version that Peter Jackson shot... but the problem is that it's 60FPS and that just feels wrong for cinema. Animators, anime included, use the limitations of framerate and deliberate switches between animating 'on twos' etc, with reductions in framerates being deliberately done for action segments and sakuga and other reasons. An anime isn't simply a film which was unavoidably shot with a too-low framerate.

(This is less true of superresolution: in most cases, if an anime studio could have afforded to animate at a higher resolution originally, they would have; and you're not compromising any 'artistic vision' if you use a GAN to do a good upscaling job instead of a lousy bilinear upscale built into your video player.)

True, `my-dsl-1-macro` potentially does anything inside its syntactic parentheses extent, including possibility manipulating syntax within it that someone just glancing at the code might assume is a code snippet that's pasted in verbatim, including what looks like a use of `my-dsl-2-macro`.

The verbatim paste seems like the usual case for macros.

This kind of potential expectation violation isn't specific to macros. For example, some functions could potentially mutate arguments when, at a casual glance, the expectation would be that that it doesn't mutate. (Even with an explicitly const argument, the language usually permits mutating something referenced by that immediate const, so we're back to expectations again.)

I think this goes back to conventions and judiciousness. And perhaps also IDE-supported easily-accessible documentation, and good naming.
I have read that good interrogators will do that without torture. They will check the information they are getting against facts that can be checked. From what I have read about innocent people that got convicted most of these convictions relied on “evidence” where nobody made the effort to sanity check the information and see if it really makes sense.

I generally like the idea of providing users the choice to reveal their typed password; many apps and sites have done so over the years. However, I have no idea how the original idea of entirely removing the "password masking" passed the "shower thoughts" phase, let alone made it into an academic research project.

> How often is someone looking over your shoulder when you type a password?

When I'm in the privacy of my own home? Rarely. When I'm using a mobile device (arguably where "unmasking" provides the most usability improvement) in public? All the time. No, random strangers are most likely not paying attention to your phone, but look around next time you go out there are cameras _everywhere_.

Even the helpful mobile keyboard feature that shows you the last entered character is a risk. Not to mention merely watching the interaction with the onscreen keyboard. However, both of those require a moderate amount of attention, versus just prominently displaying the full password unobstructed all at once on the screen.

You may not think those cameras matter, but let's be honest, many people have access to the data feed through those cameras. From the near-minimum-wage "security" guard (or loss prevention) employee to the corporate security teams storing the backed up footage.

Logging into your Hacker News account may present a low risk, but certainly, this could be catastrophic when logging into your bank account. It's one of the less acknowledged benefits of fingerprint readers and password managers (combined). Unmasking that password entered by the password manager would defeat this entirely.

Let it be an option, but don't do this by default.
If you dig into the historical sources for Ireland they keep mentioning how good looking and strong the Irish are compared to the English and Scots. The Irish diet was potatoes and buttermilk.
From what I've seen so far, Metal's own validation layer also does very thorough checks, to a point where it almost replaces the documentation (as far as the quality of the validation error messages goes).
There are some fudgy leaps of logic here, trying to make sweeping insights but it is just undermining the whole thing for me. Like: "The ideological message is that if you cannot alter the circumstances causing distress, you can change your reactions to your circumstances. In some ways, this can be helpful, since many things are not in our control. But to abandon all efforts to fix them seems excessive."

Who is saying "abandon all efforts" to fix things? That is a total strawman argument. Mindfulness is fine and helpful for fixing exactly the issues we face in the world - I don't see how being stressed or overwhelmed helps anyone improve things. Mindfulness is meant to give you space to make useful actions rather than spin in place. Yes, the wheels of capitalism have inflated and twisted the concept for profit, but it is quite a stretch to say it is some sort of opiate for the masses to keep us docile.

If the Titanic is sinking, telling people to keep freaking out probably isn't the best way to save lives. "Stay calm" doesn't solve things either, but I feel like it gives you a better chance to find a raft, yes?
When your search "calculator" are you angry that Google displays its own web calculator before returning 3rd party results? These are simple utilities, and I don't see why it's bad for Google to offer is own. In fact for web tests it's more useful to me. Much of what I access is Google services, so testing latency and throughput to their servers is better for me.
No it isn't. It is information that may be difficult to obtain but trivial to verify.

There is more than way to do all of these layouts. I don't have time to learn all of them, I just want my content to look great on all devices. I also want to stick to the specifications of HTML as it applies to all the browsers that do HTML5 - so no Internet Explorer. Sticking to the specs means no hacks and the likelihood that someone can make sense of my code in ten years time and not think 'why did they do this?'.

For this reason I will be sticking with CSS Grid. CSS Grid is supported in all HTML5 browsers, so that means everything except the depreciated Internet Explorer.

To get my CSS Grid versions to work I will also be using CSS Variables defined in media queries to make things responsive. I don't need to have lots of fixed breakpoints as I use fonts that scale in such a way that lines don't get too long to read on really big screens.

For the CSS variables I have fallbacks which are the desktop defaults. So although 'mobile first' I can get a deluxe mobile experience but code for desktop in the first instance.

With pseudo classes I can add icons, usually Unicode symbols or SVG, SVG defined in CSS variables.

Since I can do this with CSS Grid and only have Internet Explorer be 'of concern', I can write HTML5 with no superfluous markup. That means no div, span or even class attributes. I have got out of the mindset of using container wrappers for content and just putting neat content where it needs to go using CSS Grid.

You could look at my HTML and think I had just swapped the div for article, aside and section. Or for figure. Or for main, header and footer. But that is not the case, I find that if I am using the right elements and pay attention to the structure of my content it just naturally styles itself with CSS Grid, no additional markup needed.

Also not needed are clever things with calc. If I find myself doing that then it is a sign that I have got it wrong and that there is a simpler solution I have overlooked. I also rarely use pixels. It is ems or viewer units all the way, again no need to think of what a pixel actually is.

I find that writing HTML and styling it without the hacks makes my code pretty alien compared to how the rest of the world is doing it. Anyone can make stuff complicated for reasons of backward compatibility, keeping it concise and simple is a different craft.

For the above reasons I am disappointed by these layout modules, a lot of work has gone into it but at times we need to question what we take for granted. Everything is a div. I look at the examples and see that if, e.g., the image is put in a figure and given a figcaption then the structure is there for it to effortlessly be given layout with CSS Grid, no container elements needed.

At some stage we need to stop looking at content as placeholder examples and stop using generic containers.
Most of what we need to know, for most of the population, we already know.

Even if the effort you suggested were to be done, the noise would continue to distract in exactly the same way.

I've worked as a tech exec, and I've worked as a personal trainer, and I've competed... we have the knowledge. We know how people can be healthy, we know how people can live long lives, and we know how people can have bodies that are a benefit to their lifetimes, not a burden.

I remember a study, it graphed a demographic of people across a scale from "healthy" to "unhealthy". What they found was that people were heavily represented on either end of the scale, but to a significant degree, not at all in between.

So, the choice is... people's (barring economics, to some degree, I'll concede -- though, being poor in other countries isn't the health catastrophe that it can be in some first world countries).

Does anything, ever, get too cheap to meter? Data transfer has gotten several orders of magnitude cheaper since the days of paying long-distance rates for 300 baud modems, but metered data plans are still very common.

"Too cheap to meter" may depend on the meter costing a lot. Perhaps electric meters were a significant fraction of the expense of a power hookup at some point.

More research style projects are indeed based on LLVM, but GCC is extremely serious about security too, (and contains more Linux-specific optimizations & code too).

For the end user, it comes down to - do you care about copyleft and what FSF/Stallman are advocating for, or do you just want a free (as in beer) code, (LLVM).

I'd argue as a user, the GPL cares more about your freedom, so unless you have a specific reason not to use GCC, go with that over LLVM, (yes, am aware of the exception re binaries compiled with GCC not having to themselves be GPL).
