It's like decorator. My experience with decorators are that they modify prototype, which is something I'm not a fan of. They also have a tendency to create too many layers, like overused inheritance.

You have room and you're partly responsible for why they're displaced?

> Where do you propose to put 4,200 people in "humane conditions"? Who should shoulder the burden of that cost?

The shuttered Trump Plaza has 900 rooms according to Wikipedia, two bunk-beds to a room and that's 3600 people in that building alone. Finding room for the remaining 600 can't be that difficult I'd imagine.

The people of the United States should shoulder the burden of that cost. Tax the rich even 1% more than you do now and you could build a new Trump Plaza every year if you wanted to.

Sweden found room for 80,000 Syrian refugees that all arrived within a span of ~12 months (6600 people per month), and we're a nation of 10 million people.

The US is supposed to be the greatest nation on Earth. Figure it out.
It's not quite as unknown as commonly believed. At least 40% of fibromyalgia have observable neuropathy on biopsies pointing to a process that is damaging nerves. The "what" is still unknown. But the parent is correct to say for fibromyalgia patients the optimal solution is a treatment (or cure) targeting that damaging process, rather than a pain killer.

This is not to say better pain killers aren't valuable, they obviously are, it's just that for many of these chronic pain disorders there is some underlying cause that if we can treat would be the better solution.
Yes, if Juul had really wanted to position itself as a responsible actor they would offer further step-down nicotine levels, 2% and 1%, to better assist in quitting. I'd love it if a few lawsuits could get internal discussion surrounding those conversations.

Uber/Lyft are the worst for this. Drivers are staring at their (mounted) phone screen trying to find their passenger, ducking in and out of the bike lane or shoulder, completely oblivious to pedestrians and bikers.

It's gotten to the point where I actively avoid any car that has an Uber sticker or Lyft light.
Except that the only reason Juul was so successful was because it put a large amount of nicotine into a small package.
I wish it were top-class, but it isn't. many bridges have structural issues and in need to be replaced or repaired and due to the fact that the DB Netz who runs the railway network has to pay for small repairs but the state pays for big ones, you can see how it is not well maintained.

I try to avoid anything by Jetbrains, as the process of reporting bugs and trying to get show-stopping bugs fixed has been a nightmare with them. This was during their RC phase of Rider, where I had a number of bugs. They went ahead and shipped it to full release (where it was no longer free of charge) without fixing a single one of the bugs I reported and even followed up on. What is the point of an RC beta test if you are so behind on bug fixes that you're not even able to triage all incoming reports? Seems like it should still be called beta at that point.

To their credit, I've had great experiences with RubyMine, but that was the exception to the rule for my experiences with Jetbrains IDEs.

Edit: Before anyone else downvotes, I'll point out that I realize this is not the experience others have had, but I was not exaggerating these claims.

Agreed, thanks.

I have vague memories of a college professor who had spent a lot of time working out the exact places water would tend to coordinate on the DNA strand as part of his early prior research. His rant on the role of hydrogen bonding in the molecule was memorable.

The authors state their contribution as, "specific longitudinal unstacking in a hydrophobic environment has to our best knowledge never been reported before."
I haven't used VS in about 2 years now, so this experience may be too many versions out of date to be relevant anymore, but for a while I had very similar problems. And then I uninstalled ReSharper, and VS all of a sudden became very snappy.

> This can be summed up pretty easily. The TI graphing calculator has no internet access and no ability to store notes. Neither ability can be easily added.

There was a similar concern with typewriters when I wanted to type rather than hand write exams in law school in the '90s. By then most typewriters included some memory and some kind of display, with a delay between your typing and putting the characters on the paper so that you could correct recent errors without needing white-out. Some typewriters were essentially dedicated word processors that could hold one or more pages in memory, sometimes even in non-volatile memory.

To prevent cheating via typewriter, my school only allowed typewriters that had at most two lines of memory. I remember that I had a hard time finding a typewriter that was sufficiently limited.

Join the club! One useful phrase to keep in mind is "Chinese Robber Fallacy"[0] (edit: and for more than just spotting questionable uses of "whataboutism"[1]). It's "where you use a generic problem to attack a specific person or group, even though other groups have the problem just as much (or even more so)."

Of course if you engage in this sort of "fallacy fallacy!" argument style, you rapidly get far from the discussion on the actual topic. The best move is probably just not to play.

> Rarely anyone who didn't travel didn't travel because they thought "travel is too complicated, I need a constant electronic map with me", anymore that they said on in their own country.

hmm. I was referring to how the Internet made it easy to plan and book a travel. Now anyone have access to information on what it takes to travel to a foreign country. Previously it was more like a blackbox. If you are from a developing country you need to apply for visa and you have to figure all that out without an Internet. You need to goto a travel agent for information, booking etc and you need to trust the agent. You don't know anyone apart from the person in the travel channel who traveled in Eruope for fun. Internet massively reduced the barriers for people traveling record. People have access to all these information for free by sitting inside their house. Ofcourse economies booming helped but I would give the Internet some credits in this as well.
Well, if you don't count that parts not coming from this China, comes from that China.

And yes, by far the semiconductor dependence on Taiwan is like another tip of the iceberg thing to the whole process.

Just as American big co extremely naive in thinking that they can replace Chinese labour and factories with Vietnam (whose total industrial output is like one district o Dongguan,) it is equivalently naive to think for mainlanders that they can run away from dependence on Taiwan when even Koreans and Japanese can't do it now (Samsung tapes out a lot of ICs at TSMC and UMC, despite having own fabs for cutting edge stuff)
Assuming FB gave any thought to antitrust action -- which is unlikely the prevailing doctrine that businesses can do as they like as long as they don't charge customers too much -- I think they ran some risk analysis and reached the conclusion that in a worst-case scenario they might take a hit to revenue and have to throw a VP or two under the bus, but would otherwise be able to continue with business as usual.

The DOJ antitrust people and the FTC got a lot of their teeth knocked out when they went after Microsoft in the 1990s. However, you think conservatives would be more open to the possibility of using antitrust as a cudgel against social media companies that seem intolerant toward right-wing viewpoints. (Never mind that the end of the FCC's Fairness Doctrine helped enable the rise of right-wing media in the first place.)
Juul got billions from Altria, parent company of Philip Morris which makes things like Malboro. Doesn't make sense for a tobacco giant to lobby against itself, unless it was a competitor lobbying specifically against PM/Altria.
> Another price to pay is complexity; it's simply more difficult to build, deploy, and monitor serverless systems.

What do you mean by serverless systems?

My experience isn't with AWS, but with Azure, so maybe it isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.

My experience has been that building, deploying and monitoring even moderately complex, interdependent Azure Functions has been less difficult than building the equivalent services to deploy to IaaS or on-prem. FWIW, a big part of that reduced complexity has been offloading infrastructure management to Azure instead our IT guys, but deployment and monitoring has also been practically painless. Are there some complexity "gotchas" that I've missed?
capability maturity model: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_Maturity_Model):

Initial (chaotic, ad hoc, individual heroics) - the starting point for use of a new or undocumented repeat process.
Repeatable - the process is at least documented sufficiently such that repeating the same steps may be attempted.
Defined - the process is defined/confirmed as a standard business process
Capable - the process is quantitatively managed in accordance with agreed-upon metrics.
Efficient - process management includes deliberate process optimization/improvement.

amish use of technology: (http://amishamerica.com/do-amish-use-technology/):

"Amish churches regulate use of technology through a set of oral guidelines known as the Ordnung. ...

so: takeaway: amish are at highest CMM, and actually very technologically advanced by CMM metric..

I thought Dell has always been reliant on ODMs. Were they at any point manufacturing components themselves?

Dell was still building PCs from off-the-shelf parts in the 90s so much of what they have was developed in the last 20 years. I've got to imagine they still have people in house who know how to setup manufacturing.
Cheat-sheets are also far more "real world" than the fake environment many schools cling to. I don't know a single practicing engineer that doesn't have a note scribbled somewhere. My engineering school recognized this decades ago and adjusted accordingly.

Now the math department? They were a different story. No calculators. Period. Ever. Made higher-level calculus... interesting. Thankfully I'd already had it in high school in a tools-based curriculum, so repeating it with just fundamentals was less of a headache than it might've been.

And I agree - the simpler the cheat sheet the better of an understanding of the subject the pupil is likely to have.
I had an HP 48g for some time and I loved the feeling of the buttons. It did take a long while to get used to the reverse polish notation. Sadly that calculator died on me. I still use an app on my phone as the go to calculator.
I have been coding for over 40 years and have designed many systems from small embedded systems the size of my little finger to huge, globe-spanning telecommunications systems. For all of those systems, the various teams' designs were basically as Gergely Orosz talked about. A few times I did some UML drawings, but the time to get them "right" was not worth it.

So, what is my role as an architect (I have been doing that role for about 15 years)? For various start-ups, I made sure that designs were compatible with each other (primarily through APIs and protocols). This was especially important at the startups since each team was running full speed to get a project done and often forgot the company's big picture.

For larger companies, I would be the interface between the customer and engineering to ensure both sides understood the requirements, expectations, and deliverables.

In all cases, I would also continue to code as well as document. An architect who doesn't code quickly loses sight of what is real and what is important in the ultimate expression of the design - the code itself.
Definitely like a form of inversion of control. Wouldn't think to call it that because the inversion is so shallow, and the control is always accessed from the context of the typical controller. It doesn't feel like what I use IOC for, though there is a similarity.
I've been itching for a while to build something on top of BookKeeper's DistributedLog. I suggest ditching the Pulsar and just using the DL.
Personally, I wish people in general were more educated about the cruelty behind milk, eggs and cheese, so they would seek alternatives.

I agree with you. It seems to me that we have two choices to address "sustainability":

- Give up the convenience of modern life, permanently, for everyone (don't allow any more industrialization than already exists)
- Drastically reduce population
USA and Canada have more than the double of emissions per capita than China. While these countries doesn't take the responsibility for climate change, nothing will change.

So then you'd have to use a calculator you've never used before during a high stakes exam? Doesn't sound good to me.
Maybe they should word the question that way then? No one is asking for using widely criticized ML tooling.

The addition of the word "estimate" doesn't break the word budget and opens a lot of flexibility when it comes to unfamiliar tooling. Even if we ignore that, I reiterate: who has ever asked that question? The outlandishness of that question surely has at least as much responsibility as the obscurity of the UX in question or the general population's lack of education.

Personally I think most of the actual tasks have so little bearing on the reality of the average computer user's needs I can't say I'm surprised folks couldn't succeed. I also think this is a cognitive trap for a lot of folks here used to being skilled computer users; becoming eager to pontificate on why our unique insight is what's needed to "fix" the problem.
I think the assertion isn't that the world is going to end 10 years from now. It's more that unless we pull off a miracle in the next 10 years, it's essentially going to end this century.
What facts demonstrate the pilots are poorly trained? What facts demonstrate this was a case of simple runaway trim? What facts indicate control surfaces were damaged, let alone related to speed or improper control input?

What we do know is MCAS can so rapidly induce mistrim, that it's not possible to recover from at low altitude. No one was informed of or trained on this possible failure vector and it's not at all clear it looks like the kind of runaway trim they are trained for.

United 585, US Air 427, Eastwind 517. The facts there are this was the result of PCU malfunction causing rudder reversal. In the case of US Air 427 the pilots pulled back on the yoke the entire time, progressing the stall, and making recovery impossible. But the direct cause of the accident is still Boeing's responsibility, the instigating action that led to the crashes was rudder hardover due to a mechanical defect.

Just because pilots may have, with perfect information, been able to recover the plane, does not absolve Boeing's defective design and implementation for MCAS, the deception from the FAA, the lack of documentation about its function and malfunction in the flight manual or training materials, the lack of any procedure for its malfunction that would require additional training.

And now they're changing the behavior of MCAS in the case of angle of attack sensor disagreement, such that MCAS is disabled. That's a very clear sign that the previous behavior is inappropriate. And the ensuing change in airplane behavior without MCAS will certainly require additional training, the very thing they sought to avoid.
If such a problem arose on iOS, Apple would patch it. Android manufacturers don't usually have that option, as they sometimes don't even have the code to the drivers.
I have used all 3 of them in the order of Chef, Puppet, Ansible. I still have bad dreams about Chef & Puppet. I never had any serious problem with Ansible. Maybe because its design is much simpler.
The US and Canada should definitely take more responsibility for climate change, but I trust emissions numbers coming out of China about as much as I trusted economic numbers coming out of the Soviet Union.
The world would definitely be better off without facebook. It's worse than useless.

Seriously, how would your life change dramatically without Facebook?
An example I often give to make people understand how ludicrous the war on drugs has become:

I can drive a moving van up to the back of the government liquor store and fill the van to the brim with hard liquor. Nobody will bat an eyelid as I drive away with enough alcohol to kill 1,000 people.

By contrast, if I drive the same moving van up to the back of a warehouse and attempt to transport 1,000 potentially lethal hits of fentanyl, I could face 25 years in prison.

As the delivery man, how much would you want to be paid in each case? I’m betting the premium for delivering against a risk of life in prison is probably a touch higher.
Stop, why!

Aiming to catch people on their phones is a perversion of the laws because we have made it too easy to get away with driving while distracted.

It used to be that distracted driving was subjective; but with dash cams on police cars, why can't police crack down on actual distracted indications objectively. All of us anecdotally can guess that someone not moving on green, going slow in the left lane, crossing multiple lanes at the last minute is on their cell phone; So let's start enforcing a law that applies more broadly (eating, intoxicated, cell phone, distracted by passengers, rubber necking) and start seriously enforcing it.

If we seriously enforced distracted and reckless behavior, maybe cities wouldn't even have to worry about congestion taxes.
You're not on the road at that point, so I doubt that
Bingo. Just looked it up, and that looks like exactly what I'm talking about. I can't say for certain as I haven't ever used/read code that was described as an Entity Component system, so there may be some crucial differences I'm overlooking. But I'm pretty sure you nailed it.

> Let's be very conservative and assume global GDP per capita grows at 2% per year. In the baseline scenario, the median world citizen would still be 390% richer than the average person today. Applying the worst global warming impact (20% of GDP), the median person would still be 290% richer than the average person today.

This is an absolutely stunning claim to make. It assume growth can just continue in perpetuity forever as if no external factors (food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic devastation, air pollution, global pandemics, extreme weather events, ocean rise etc) could possibly have any impact on that continued growth.
