> But it's not necessarily as doom and gloom as many people believe

It really is doom if whole cities are wiped off the map. Just because the process of that doom happens in relatively slow motion doesn't make it any less doom. Hundreds of coastal cities will be literally gone. But don't let the speed of the process trick your mind. It is actually urgent to act now. We need to decarbonize our economies within a decade or those cities are doomed. We need to motivate people, and we need less of this "meh, it'll take a while, we can sit on our hands for now, let's not get excited."
>I think the only reasonable way to stay relevant long term is for the US to forget about manufacturing and focus on intellectual endeavors.

A seriously small fraction of the country is capable of this type of work. Not everyone can "learn to code", and a former line worker isn't going to become a firmware engineer overnight - if ever. Manufacturing was a way for those folks, predominantly men, to find worth in their life and a steady paycheck they could support a family with. Discount this as "electioneering" all you want, but the situation is more nuanced than "well the Chinese are more willing to do this work as evidenced by their lower wages". I guarantee that a lot of Gig Economy folks would trade the unknown and inconsistent schedule (I get it that that works for some) for steady hours and a predictable paycheck.

In 20160-2017, I did the final year of my CS major using nothing but an IBM Thinkpad X40 (1.1 GHz ULV Pentium 4, 1.25 GB RAM). It was quite adequate. DrRacket, CompuCell, LibreOffice, Gimp, VirtualBox, it all worked fine. Such a lovely machine...

I've also done productive work on my OLPC XO-1s (and an external keyboard, usually my IBM Model M). For example: http://bloominglabs.org/index.php/Logo#Animated_Logo
You have to read the reviews and make sure they are in praise of the food and not the atmosphere/service/price/etc. Also it's really important to read the worst reviews for comments about the food.
I have mixed feelings. It was basically a mob-driven decision. Mob made decisions can have good or bad outcomes, but the action being pressured for by mobs is usually irrational.

I think there's something to be said for listening to your customers and community. But how much of the pushback was from the community? Certainly the developer who yanked their code. And from what I've read the internal developers too.

But I think having to fear crowds of probably less than completely informed people generally lacking nuance is not something to be lauded.
I would love to see a study of how much IT spending in general is just for tools to work around corporate bureaucracy. I suspect the figure would be staggering.
That's typical British self-deprecating humour. The basis in fact (which all such humour needs) is certain car manufacturers.
Of course the resources needed for cars are limited, that's why they aren't free.

I carry two backup phones, $2000 in USD, $2000 or so in local currency, and a couple krugerrands at all times whilst traveling. I also have two iPads, and those and the three phones are all preloaded with offline maps (Guru Maps) of the country I am in as well as all neighboring countries.

Some people do. Other people climb mountains or work on robotic rovers. There is no evidence that an entire civilization would choose a simulated existence, let alone every civilization. The evidence so far is that there would be ever increasing numbers of things to do, only some of which is simulated. There are plenty of young kids today training to become athletes instead of EA sports champions. Some people prefer to be outside instead in front of a screen.
If the global population was still 2 billion as in the early 1900s, I'm certain we wouldn't have a climate crisis anywhere near the scale we're seeing today. We should be panicking, and I don't understand why our population should be allowed to grow until the Earth literally cannot sustain it. We're an intelligent and evolved species, and we'd all be better off exercising some self-control and keeping our population in check.

And yes, I would gladly give up my right to procreate. I have no interest in having children, primarily because I believe it's a terrible thing to do in today's world.
> no ability to store notes

What? It can run custom programs. Of course it can store notes.
Ridiculous. The best part about paying for a drug test is that it literally offers no benefit to the patient. He or she knows firsthand whether they took any drugs. (Excepting cases where something is slipped into a drink but that accounts for ~0% of tests performed.)
Google and Amazon have both branched out much more than Apple, though Apple is trying to open a Seattle office.

I'm just surprised they would choose Austin for manufacturing, as it means they have long supply lines and have to build an industry that doesn't currently exist in Austin.
I agree with "go where it's busy", but first we check the reviews to get a list of places to check for busy-ness. As a bonus, in some places Google will tell you how busy a place is right then so you don't even have to walk over!

You can trivially store notes on the TI graphic calculator using it's built in programming function. This is not a new trick to any student. Common test setup is to have each student reset their calculator to factory settings to account for this.

There are two ways to get something right:

1) The first time

2) Later than that

They did the second. It’s sucks that it isn’t the first, and it sucks that they didn’t pick the right horse during the race up until this point. But they changed their mind, openly and in plainly spoken terms.

“Worked” doesn’t need a qualifier here. Their failure to implement #1 correctly, and their pivot to implement #2, will help them serve as a lesson to others.

Microsoft is not stupid, Microsoft has ported everything to ARMv8 already, both for the Snapdragon laptops and the servers (which they only use internally for now, but I hope Amazon's Graviton is pushing them in the ARM-public-cloud direction)

You can easily store notes on a TI calculator. I had a TI-85 in college, and was occasionally guilty of writing TI-BASIC programs to make tests easier (for example, I had one which computed Euler's method).
Yes, but most test proctors make you clear the memory before the test.

In fact, one of the programs my friends and I wrote was one that faked the memory clearing process. This worked because at the time the test proctors didn't really know how the calculator worked so our fake was good enough.
Interesting that the TI-84 is mentioned so much. I am pretty sure this article is making a big deal out of nothing. I think this is a case of journalists reading "graphing calculator" and assuming the 84 is being used. SAT's allow CAS calculators, the Inspire is a pretty impressive specialist calculator and makes algebraic expressions incredibly easy. Any sensible student should be taking one into the exam or they're just putting themselves at a disadvantage. I can't speak for what calculator students ARE buying, but they are allowed to buy and use far better ones, the 84 might be overpriced but just don't buy it. You wouldn't care if the Apple II is currently overpriced, no one should be using one, so it shouldn't be a big deal that the 84 is overpriced, just move on.

It's interesting to see that someone has an issue with someone else using the term Fake news when there are many examples of MSM's hypocrisy and biased reporting everyday. MSM is protected under 1A, so they can say whatever they want with little or no consequences. When you're a "News" agency, one would think they would report on news topics backed by facts. Not anonymous sources, and opinions they never retract or apologize for.

What does it have to do with this Topic? I belive the developer watched to much MSM to believe their lies and that ICE is bad and treating people bad but not realizing the previous admin deported more people, and had much worse conditions. </rant>

You know what I actually like Serverless (AWS Lambda) for?

Adding a script that is triggered upon a new message to an SQS queue. The cost in using AWS Lambda is actually in the use of API Gateway, and it doesn't use that, as well.

Now, you're right, I didn't find this from any thought leaders, etc. In fact, I would disregard anyone who couldn't give me a concrete use-case and a cost/benefit overview for a technology. I have met a few executives that more or less were trojan horse leaders for other companies' technologies. Salesforce rings a bell.
Sure, WRT my comment:

> Overall at the end, the result will be that freedoms of the citizens of USA will get reduced, whichever side wins.

US Gov will likely start blacklisting of companies and business associated of companies that succomb to this behavior.

This, overall will shift billions of dollars to a fewer set of companies.

Anytime, power is concentrated in several mega-corps, ability to compete freely is reduced.

Fewer choices for paths of economic progress, fewer freedoms.

I am also almost 100% sure any new contract with US Gov will include clauses that will address this in a way, that doing govtech, and hiring contractors/employees for govtech businesses will be even harder.

Alternatively, if the mob justice wins -- then hiring/firing people based on their views on Immigration/Abortion/Religions Freedoms/etc -- will be the norm.

Either way, US citizens loose.... That was my point.

I thought that storing notes was the selling point of the TI-93. You can easily add an app that does just that.

I think you might want to take a slightly different look at it as I have found the opposite.

You also might need to find better C# programmers as I honestly don't know any C# programmers who only know one language or one editor. An awesome IDE is big perk to development. I don't think that should be considered a con.

.NET also has tons of "magic features" like Data Annotations & Attribute Tags for those who want some magic that reduces code & helps get stuff done faster.

JS & other languages reference it when looking to introduce new features.

C# is anything but dated. One could call it bloated as it is one of the most flexible languages with about 10 ways to do anything. That is a strength & a weakness of any language that positions itself as a Swiss army knife type tool that wants to be able to be used everywhere. With C# you can write a lot of nice fairly functional programming style code & OOP code which is a nice perk.
Proteins on the surface of cells identify them as “self” or “not self”. MHC (major histocompatability complex) plays a large role.
The problem with this is the mob too quickly concludes CBP provides no valuable service to the nation (i.e., service worth contract support) because of a policy I don't like. That really is unjustified, I think.

The same is true of law enforcement generally. Police get a lot of hate on HN because of some obviously over-the-top policies that need to be corrected. But we would have major problems without law enforcement, including CBP.

We should address the issues without taking them to the extremes. This applies pretty broadly in politics these days, sadly.

I was under the impression that this is a consulting contract that will eventually end. They haven't said anything about banning government agencies using the product directly, so my guess is that said agencies are just going to have to find someone else to provide that expertise while they continue to use Chef's products.
Memory usage difference should be something like an order of magnitude better with .NET.

It's not a direct comparison, because the features aren't quite the same, but the Electron Teams app uses about 10x more memory than the relatively heavy WPF Skype for Business client that it's supposed to replace.
Most test proctors make you clear your memory before a test in high school. In college they don't care as much because they are used to making "open book tests".

"Earth's phosphorus is being depleted at an alarming rate. At current consumption levels, we will run out of known phosphorus reserves in around 80 years, but consumption will not stay at current levels. Nearly 90% of phosphorus is used in the global food supply chain, most of it in crop fertilizers. If no action is taken to quell fertilizer use, demand is likely to increase exponentially."

I can tell you why my society isn't entrepreneurial. We basically believe everything should be hard and we frown upon people who appear to be taking short cuts. This attitude served us well before the advent of technology but now it just gets in the way. Let me give an example. As recently as 50-70 years ago we lived a subsistence way of farming. Working the land was done using a hoe with a handle that is about 40cm long. Working the fields meant a lot of time bent over. One of the neighboring tribes decided to lengthen the handle of their hoes meaning they worked more upright. Probably had more mechanical advantage. Our reaction as a tribe was to call the other tribe lazy. To this day this is how we react when something new is introduced, loads of skepticism and derision of the person who dares introduce something new. By the time we come around to embracing whatever it is all the opportunities associated with the new technology have been taken up by the very few entrepreneurs. Normal from outside the region. Off course they are exceptions but these are far and few between. We make for a great workforce and we made for a great army back in the day when tribal wars were a thing. In this modern world we are getting left behind. So I guess in a nutshell some societies probably embrace change better than others.
Leather has the advantage that one animal produces multiple things -- US beef and milk production produces leather as a byproduct. If people want local beef and milk, there's also going to be local leather. Leather keeps better than meat, so as long as the demand for beef (measured in cows) exceeds the demand for bovine leather (also measured in cows), stocks go up and prices go down until someone decides a local supply chain is worthwhile (or until someone decides it's not worth it to pay for the warehouse for unsold leather).

C# has very minimal boilerplate for a lot of uses. I can throw together a simple CRUD UI app in WinForms in well under a day. Visual Studio handles writing all the data binding code for me, code that I'd have to write myself in any other language.

Using one of the enterprise frameworks, sure, those all have boilerplate, in any language, especially the older frameworks.

And for some tasks, the amount of boilerplate is tiny. I can write out a struct/class with property names matching my JSON, and watch as C# automatically data binds the JSON to a UI. The amount of boilerplate I need to do that in the browser is pretty much identical, or I can learn / figure out some fancy auto-binding toolkit that has its own boiler plate and learning curve.

You can be seriously functional in C#. Passing around lambdas and using functional techniques to manipulate data has been idiomatic C# for over a decade.

> I've also noticed that most C# programmers don't usually know another language

Stereotyping is not good. I <3 C#, but I've written embedded C, C++, JavaScript, Typescript, and Python.

If you go to most corporate dev places, you will find a significant population of single language devs. Same things happen with any popular corporate language. While I agree that learning multiple programming languages makes for better developers, blaming a language for being popular is hardly fair.

Heck the number of developers who have historically only worked in C/C++ was really high for multiple decades.
