I'm not surprised that the language is dying. They seem to be spending time on things no one cares about and things that are inconsequential.
Maybe the deeper lesson here isn't so much "don't be indiscreet about how shit your products are", but rather, "don't work on something you're not proud of".
PWA = Progressive Web App ---"progressive" seems to mean it uses some relatively recent additions to browsers to make the app feel more like a native app.

Is that empirically true? The USA was the largest economy in the world by 1890, despite pursing a policy of isolationism for the entire century before that. By the time we entered the First World War, we accounted for a quarter of the world economy, about as much as all of Western Europe put together.
Sure, Acme lacks - well: intentionally does not have - theming, font changing etc., although some modifications (like Acme2k) exist which change that. Acme is probably more about "getting things done" than about "looking good" ... :-) (that sounds harsher than intended - I like Emacs for its flexibility and it was my Usenet reader until last month).

Interestingly, the first Emacs "plumber" which I have found after you wrote it literally uses Acme's plumber:

My dad, a working class man, must have bought my mum jewellery from Ratners in the 80s, because I remember this scandal and how genuinely furious he was. I remember him saying to me words along the lines of "of course we know deep down that it's crap, but it's all we can afford so we kid ourselves that it's not". Ratner saying out loud that it was crap was destroying people's private delusions, which is all some people have. It was idiotic of Ratner to say it and I don't blame the newspapers for printing it at all.
That reminds me of one thing I noticed about nations and needing a "designated driver".

It makes me wonder if some sort of international veto arrangement might be a good idea - unfortunately it seems that even if they did so they would be unlikely to listen "because this time is different".
I do agree with you, mostly with the point that every company/industry is different.

But I have to point out we do hear things on this site like, 'the auto industry is old and slow", and I think it's false. Some of the companies are, and some are quite progressive. Industries are rarely homogenous.

The problem here seems to be that you think the state of the art resembles “being really good at identifying objects”. This makes it clear that you are not keeping up with the frontier. I recommend looking up DeepMind’s 2019 papers, they are easily discoverable.

When you read them, you will probably update in the direction of “AGI soon”. It’s possible that you won’t see what the big deal is, I suppose. I personally see what Carmack and others see, a feasible path to generality, and even some specific promising precursors to generality.

It also helps to be familiar with the most current cognitive neuroscience papers, but that’s asking a lot.
To quote the currently highest-voted comment:

> The timing of the sales was predetermined under what is known as a 10b5-1 plan[1], named after an SEC regulation that allows company insiders to avoid insider trading charges by setting up a schedule of sales in advance (typically a year).

A big pile of stock is worthless if you can't sell it. Cook probably wants to diversify, buy a house, boat, fancy car, and whatever else rich people like to do with their money.
When he was presented with information to the contrary, instead of digging in, he considered the evidence and changed his view. Most people have things they don't get right the first time. Growth happens when one recognizes such errors, admits to them, and change.
Neal, we see Zepel being bought bottom up. We are engineers ourselves and we built a tool that we would be happy using. We also plan on having a data sync with Jira mainly to help teams within larger org switch to Zepel, while the updates still flow back to JIRA without breaking the “managements” view.
> Monetizing our work is not strange. It might require some contortions compared to the most direct approach (step 1. write software. step 2. git push), but that doesn't make it a bad thing.

You're answering the question you want to answer, not the one that was asked. It's important that you get paid for your work so you can eat, and it's good to figure out ways to monetize your work. Charging people for reporting bugs is strange because knowing about bugs helps you and the rest of your users more than it helps the reporter.

> I think holding onto bugfixes and feature enhancements and letting Patreon subscribers have first dibs on these makes sense.

I think that could make sense, too, but neither of those things are reporting bugs or suggesting features. I don't have a quote.
Basically every normal adult commits at least misdemeanors daily (in the sense that a bored cop could stick you with one and an aggressive prosecutor could nail you for it if you didn't get a decent lawyer) crimes all the time.

If you created a startup that grew to take 10% of a global market, would you consider your business to be insignificant?

> especially when the markup on any non-google phone can easily be 1000%.

I'm not really sure I understand. The newest Google pixel and iPhone are similarly priced. Unless by "Google phone" you mean Android, in which case yes apple lacks choice on the low end but 10x is still a bit of an exaggeration.

iOS also has >20% market share globally, while we are arguing about numbers. This gets back to my "significant competition" remark. Are you arguing that Apple is insignificant?
There is no legal reason that has to happen, in fact the subordinate can get moved to night shift for example and it’s still not considered retaliation.
Project Zero is doing Apple a huge favor. Google isn’t a single organism; Project Zero isn’t taking away resources from the Android division. And it’s not like Project Zero doesn’t look for Android vulnerabilities, it’s just that iOS is a much more interesting target from a security standpoint because it’s widely considered to be actually secure (not to mention that people actually run the latest version of it).

I think Fuchsia can’t come fast enough for an opportunity to break backwards compatibility and catch up with the rest of the world on security.

(I also think that Google needs to put some more humans in the Play Store review process, but as we all know Google despises using humans when they can automate a process.)
Same here.

Still bitter about it.

Perl 6 is probably a great language, I'm not very interested in it, for the reasons someone might pick it, I'd probably pick a different language; of course not for any logical reasons, but still. Perl 5 on the other hand is still a great language for lots of reasons. I hope Perl 6 is renamed and Perl 5 will become Perl again and it will be reinvigorated and more people will consider it again. Don't get me wrong, I don't use Perl day to day because of the type of work I'm doing at $DAYJOB, but people like to dump on it for all the wrong reasons or outdated reasons, but I still believe in it, and I think a lot of people still do but there just isn't the mindshare and no matter what we think about our industry and how it works, that ultimately means new developers won't use it.
The details might vary (and occasionally a major mechanism may be questioned too), but the fundamentals of evolution form the core of how we think about biology, and at this point it's extremely unlikely we will find a completely alternative theory that completely discards this one.
Zepel looks great, a much cleaner and more pleasant experience than JIRA. Everyone uses JIRA because it's become synonymous with agile, so companies purchase and use JIRA to show that they're agile. In practice though, JIRA is ridiculously cumbersome and slow. It's time for it to be challenged.

If you can market yourself as a simpler and faster way for agile teams to run projects, and deliver on that, then you'll probably get some decent traction with SMBs and work your way up from that. Make teams feel like they'll be agile by using Zepel.

Great work and good luck!
Google's location services data is also not associated with your identity. The only difference is that you can disable this collection on Android, and you can't disable it in iOS.
It's true that Singapore is unlikely to bend under China's pressure; however Singapore itself is an authoritarian state which has little good to say about human rights, democracy, etc., all of which we Hongkongers prize and are, at this moment, fighting for.

That's really unfortunate. I was using Emacs on Windows back around the year 2000 and it was fine. I wonder what happened in the meantime.
Typically there was a 2" conduit carrying DC power cables and the seam around the door might not have been sealed, so probably that. Also had similar results with fridges, and they have rubber seals on the door gap. So probably leaking through cracks.
This is why I moved my clients off G-Suite and onto Zoho. And it's why where possible, I advise people to build clean web-based mobile apps which do not require a "store".

Since we have no practical alternative to Play Store and Apple Store for native phone apps, we'll just have to settle for slightly fewer features and slightly less performance with non-native apps. (And no, sideloading isn't an option. Most users are barely able to install a native app via a link directly to their store.)

For Google, it's simply not worth their time to maintain a staff of humans to prevent these false negatives. They are not committed to the app developers just as they are not committed to their non-government G-Suite clients. They are committed to their primary revenue streams. And the reason they can simply not care about some human losses (stories like TFA) is because they are a monopoly when it comes to Android apps. And while Amazon is not an admirable company at all (based on how it treats its sellers or low level employees), their cloud business seems to have more human oversight - or at least a less heavy-handed automated banning system.

Google's behavior will continue to be profitable enough that they won't change it... for many years, or until the regulators come at them. Since the US regulators are now almost entirely corporate lobbyists themselves, we'll have to depend on the EU to fight it. (And since the EU is becoming corporatized as well, the window of opportunity is shrinking.)
I agree with you that AGI is not around the corner. I think the people who do believe that are generally falling for a behavioral bias. They see the advances in previously difficult problems, and extrapolate that progress forward, when in reality we are likely to come against significant hurdles before we get to AGI.

Also, seeing computers perform tasks they haven't done before can convince people that the model behind the scenes is closer to AGI than it really is. The fact that deep neural networks are very hard to decifer only furthers the mystical nature of the "intelligence" of the model.

Also, tasks like playing starcraft are very impressive, but are not very close to true AGI in my opinion. Perhaps theres a more formal definition that I'm not aware of, but in my mind, AGI is not being good at playing starcraft, AGI is deciding to learn to play starcraft in the first place.

That's my 2 cents, anyways.
The second one is strange. Just because I tell you your software is broken doesn't obligate you to fix it, and if anybody is confused by that, you can tell them. The weird thing is not having a way to be informed about the bug by unpaid users.

For python just use Elpy [1] or anaconda-mode. Microsoft Language Server is nice but use it for things you can not find a package in elpa or melpa.

Obviously you can use emacs-prelude [2] or spacemacs [3] in the beginning and as you get familiar write your own init.el or packages to make it work the way you want.

Indeed magit is better than any tool you will find for managing git repository. I can go on and on. You have to give it a try to see it for yourself, it pays for its learning curve over the time you use it.

I do use them but not as much as I used to. The main reason is they're not a good fit in a touch-based world. Yes, there are gestures that proxy a hover, but I don't believe that's the nature of most people usage and expectation - on a touch device or not. That is, using touch so much so often that influences non-touch expectations.

Some "nice" banks always do this, like USAA.
American foreign policy has been inconsistent and often deadly to many civilians worldwide. Americans sometimes go in with the best of intentions, but not always, as we know from the Iraq war, CIA overthrow of Iranian government, and many other debacles.

For Mathis to disregard this and put the military and intelligence apparatus above politics is disingenuous, or at least ignorant of reality. He may be non-partisan but his department has a hand in why our current tribalism exists, and always has.

If American military and intelligence organizations had a truly non-interventionist approach and one which works with our allies then there are politicians on both sides to support them - Tulsi Gabbard, Ron Paul, for example.

Finally, Mathis admits our defense spending exceeds all but 20 countries' GDP. In an era where our enemies are often digital, or terrorist organizations, more so than nation states, is our military spending oversized for what we need? Would any secretary of defense admit to this and redirect funds to more pressing causes at home or abroad? Such a leader would be a truly remarkable and laudable.

Could it be that the Perl language (and especially Perl 5) but as a community in general, is established and mature, and very stable, that the only things that are mentioned are just not the things that newer, fast moving languages such as Rust and Go talk about?
