I don't think they use harsher practices in production.

Smartphone production is just the same:

First the people are enslaved to get the resources out of some mines, then some Asian workers (inc. children etc.) have to assemble (996 without a loan you'd want to live with). Then it's transported via logistics which is another sector that refuses to treat people like human beings. In the end of the line we have the eager sales guys who knowingly lie to customers and themselves to get a lot of sales.

The difference is that companies earn a lot more on a single sale for a smartphone but the scale of the sales of these feature phones could end up being more revenue I think. On the other hand marketing costs could be much lower because the price plus features alone would beat every smartphone at once.

I think it's crazy we still didn't modularize these devices and have nice OS'es for them.

Manifestation Miracle
Solomon was bestowed with riches and honor far greater than any king before or after him. His sage advice was sought by rulers of nations. His success and wealth increased beyond even your vivid imagination. His gold reserves are the subject of legend, his palace immense. He penned the Proverbs in the Bible which not only survive but his writing on wisdom, understanding and diligence remain a world influence after three thousand years.

So what can we learn from Solomon about diligence and understanding. He who cultivates his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless people and pursuits will have poverty enough. Proverbs 28.19 - Amplified

I can't speak for NATS streaming or Akka but it does look like liftbridge can fit that niche very well, depending on what features and semantics you need. Your services that publish can be assured that a message has been persisted to a quorum of replicas (strictly, the in-sync replicas) before receiving an acknowledgement, so you are able to assure that all onward processing to your downstream services occurs at least once for all acknowledged messages.

If you require fanout to your stream consumers then this is supported simply by having multiple consumers subscribe to each stream. If you require a competing consumers model then this isn't directly supported, but you can have load-balance groups which you could use to achieve something similar, but with a static configuration - that is, your consumer population can't resize dynamically, but you can distribute messages to a fixed set of streams, each of which has a consumer.

liftbridge doesn't yet support durable consumer-offset checkpointing, although this is advertised as being on the roadmap. In the meantime, if you wanted the consumer offset to survive consumer restarts, then the consumer itself would need to take care of persisting its current offset.
I wasn't referring to libraries, i was specifically referring to the language itself and the language was simpler. Also i never worked with J2EE, in fact i worked with the complete opposite: J2ME. While it had a lot of pains, these were largely with the implementations not the language nor the APIs both of which were very simple. Though even before J2ME i mainly dabbled with applets which again were mostly simple (that was Java 1.1 btw thanks to MS Java).

Also i've written a lot of Java at the past and most of it was during the pre-1.5 days and i do not remember ever writing anything like the example you used as an ugly one, that looks contrived. For starts, i think i've only stored multiple object types in an array list very few times, most of the time it only stored a single type so i didn't need to check for the instance. Furthermore these array lists were most often hidden behind a higher level API, so you'd get "addFoo(Foo foo)" and "removeFoo(Foo foo)" that would add the object to the list (and often do additional bookkeeping, like set some flag or call a method in foo).

And of course i do not remember ever needing something like incrementing an integer list.

Sure you can make a mess of a codebase, but doesn't mean you have to. Just because someone (apparently a lot) believe that a SomethingFactoryFactory is a good way to approach things it doesn't mean that you have to follow it. Often a plain old "new" is just enough.

Also when i refer to outside forces i do not refer to whoever writes those drafts, i refer to those who ask for features that cause the drafts to be written.
Handwavy? Nuclear is real, EV automobiles are real, heat pumps for heating and AC are real, insulation for buildings, planting more trees in urban areas helps with the heat island, and creating more green is trivial and helps with storm water management.

Electrified rail.

Low CO2 concrete. Real, already used.

The list is almost literally endless.

But anyway, all of these are simply cost based choices. A carbon tax would literally overnight shift the consumer choices. And the cost effectiveness depends on the market, and that is usually the best we can get.
In my experience intelligent people don't believe in gods.

Fukushima taught the cynical lesson that overreaction to and media-fueled mindless panic about nuclear incidents causes more damage and death than nuclear incidents themselves.

"Nuclear is no free lunch", but you get to pick what you eat for the money you have. When you compare fossil fuel burning, which involves mining and shipping stupendous quantities of fuel and releasing equally stupendous amount of CO₂ pollution (including radioisotopes!) into atmosphere, to nuclear power, which involves mining, shipping and using tiny amounts of fuel for the same energy output, and the result is a tiny amount of solid waste... well, nuclear is a no-brainer here.

Maybe they did exactly that and that's why we ended up with a lot of neanderthal DNA. If modern humans are any indication, a horny neanderthal would have attempted mating with just about anything loosely compatible with their urges. Just refer to your favorite porn sites for an overview of all the different things modern people find interesting. Bluntly put, if it had a hole, mr. Neanderthal would probably have been interested in exploring its potential for mating.
I don't know what I'm going to need next week let along 3 months (or whatever) from now.

Doesn't this reflect some much deeper problem with the product planning or management? If you literally can't plan even a week in advance that suggests there simply is no plan, and even the most scatterbrained business environment doesn't change that fast.

I'd say customers being able to stick to a coherent story about what they want for more than a week would be a key need in any successful IT project.

They would be citizens. They would grow up like normal children. They would speak any human language. They could achieve anything any other human could in their lives. The differences would be subtle. They would appear like unusual humans to us, a racial group that we had never encountered. We would certainly see more commonalities with other modern humans than differences. All their traits would be present to some extent among living modern humans, but they would show us a unique and intense combination of those traits.

"Fukushima taught the cynical lesson that overreaction to and media-fueled mindless panic about nuclear incidents causes more damage and death than nuclear incidents themselves."

Yes, but did we really take that lesson to heart? Because one can react to that in different ways. Currently I'm leaning to towards, that yes, maybe I can be confident nuclear can be engineered to (for the money we have) acceptably safe. But I'm not convinced we can manage the social cost and education effort and corruption mitigation needed. Damage and death caused by panic is still damage and death.

Your argument was that you'd always want to develop universal apps in order to cater to everyone, not niches. Now you're talking about catering to low end garbage phones specifically. I don't doubt that catering to as large as possible an audience works for the low end of the market spectrum but I was arguing against the concept of ignoring niches, particularly high-end ones.

> Pardon me for pointing out their carelessness in handling water crisis and climate change, but sure, they focussed on tiger population growth.

A lot of water management happens at the state-level. And the worst water-crisis in recent memory happened at Chennai, which is not a BJP ruled state.

Also, considering the push towards renewable energy, I'm not sure how it's fine to blame the PMO for "carelessness against climate change."
Yep - it's not in their electoral backyard. Another angle is that it seems Germany is becoming a giant in renewable tech. I mean, it looks like their big bet on that is paying off in pure economical terms. So the voters are unlikely to punish politicians for a move that seems to spell a lot of export money for Germany.

>TikTok lets whoever's talented become at least relatively popular

Enjoy it while it lasts.

No user generated content meritocracy ever lasts. Not steam greenlight, not the app store, not new grounds, not YouTube etc.

The problem with your "transparent algorithm" is when the supply of content starts to outpace the supply of 50 users to test it on. Then content will inevitably get unfairly unviewed and the only thing left to do is implement some dodgy [redacted] process.

Don't believe me? Consider this. Your one clip takes 30*50=1500 seconds of user time to categorize (according to your algorithm). If a user spends 1 hr on tiktok per day, they effectively volunteered 3600 seconds of work towards categorizing clips as good or not. Meaning if you post a moderate amount (2, sometimes 3 times per day), you've just cancelled out that entire user and you only spent 90 seconds of your own time to do it. If more than half the people on the platform are moderate posters and 1 hr a day consumers, the system breaks.

I've been reading a lot on focused work and this sounds like the exact opposite of what's supposed to happen. I can't recommend Cal Newport's book "Deep Work: Rules for focused success in a distracted world" enough.

He goes through a lot of psychology and science of how people work better when they're not distracted. It seems that all of the "Extreme Programming" guidelines go quite the opposite of what the science, per Cal Newport, suggests.

He also points out that collaboration is perfectly acceptable during deep and focused work, but this doesn't sound like how it should be at all.
...but isn't the answer to the question, "Can the polygraph be used to coerce false confessions from innocent people?" also quite a resounding, "yes"[0]?

Where did that happen? From my understanding, their habitat is vastly different.
Good point. It seems reasonable that the limited intelligence shown by, say, honeybees works dramatically differently than mammalian intelligence, despite sometimes having surprisingly similar outputs at times.
They could have replaced coal with all the new renewable energy sources and thus reduce the CO2 output. But instead they somehow decided it was a good idea to shut down nuclear power plants before they shut down the last coal plant.

Per TWh produced, coal kills more than the power produced by Chernobyl.

Generation 4 reactors will very likely begin operation in the next 6-10 years. Just look at the integral molten salt reactor as an example.

I wouldn't say it's that stable or that the rest of Africa is instable, especially compared to Europe. It's just that Europe industrialized earlier and got to reap rewards that can only come from most simple needs being met easily.

In general, the developing countries are mostly "behind the curve", meaning their economic growth mostly wasn't that much lower for most of history, but rather they started somewhat later, often because they needed the technology developed in the west (modern agriculture mostly) to start increasing their population density. As far as I understand it, Africa is suitable for both very primitive and very advanced agriculture, but not much "in between" and so they got stuck with hunting/gathering and subsistence farming. They also didn't have access to proper domestic animals before Europe industrialized, though they had better animals than the South Americans, apparently. Neither a LLama nor a zebra can pull a plow.

Many countries in Africa were jumpstarted by colonization, and the colonists didn't have any interest in making that growth sustainable or giving the natives the tools to sustain that growth on their own. That's why white African farmers can say the black Africans can't manage huge farms for sh. Well, the white farmers didn't teach it to them and prevented them from learning it on their own...

Ethiopia is probably slightly different.

As I understood it, the key difference was being able to add functionality by installing third-party applications. That's what made a smartphone "smart", as opposed to a featurephone which was stuck with only the "features" implemented by the manufacturer.
