That is very, very far from the truth. You obviously haven't probably tried Clojure.

I think, among all the languages being actively used in the industry (in business, not academy), Clojure perhaps can be crowned as the simplest of them all.
The ingenious of Rich Hickey was to design it the way that the essentials were made simple and complicated stuff either unnecessary or pushed onto the edges of the ecosystem.

Clojure can be learned à la carte - from the basics to more advanced things. Or if you want to dive straight into more difficult topics, you still can do it, and preliminaries would be minimal.

I can argue that Clojure is easier to learn than Kotlin, Python, Javascript, or Ruby. That is not a mere opinion - I know many people for whom Clojure was the very first language. And they tried to apprehend other PLs later, and it was a confusing and frustrating experience for them.

It is easy to start with Clojure. One simply needs to be less skeptical about things that people (mostly those who are unfamiliar with the language) criticize it for:

- They say, "It is hosted on JVM. JVM means Java, and I hate Java", and therefore ignore the fact that JVM is a very robust piece of tech, and you don't need to write any Java at all to use Clojure, you don't even really need to know Java.

- They say, "JVM has a slow startup time." But once you try Clojure's REPL (which is a real REPL, unlike in other, non-lispy languages), it becomes a non-issue.

- They say, "It is a Lisp, and parentheses look scary." But once you learn structural editing idioms, it becomes so frustrating to deal with all the punctuation in other languages.

- They say, "It is dynamically typed." But once you learn Clojure.Spec you may discover that you can do things with it, that most type-systems simply can't.

I encourage everyone to try to learn some Clojure, because it is fun.
This article is a love letter to both mathematics and programming. It is awesome to read something and grasp the joy and playfulness of the author. The maths are explained in a simple way. The programming concepts go from the straightforward to the delightfully weird (and let't not kid ourselves, Raku shines the most the weirder things get). And the final result is downright fun. I love it.
How good was that heading? Good enough that the missile can hit the ship with no further adjustments for the rest of the flight? Probably not.

I've been thinking about a similar application. Thank you.
I'm an American and I will probably never buy another American made car again until we switch to EV.

Time for anecdotes! I'm in the process of changing our families vehicles: I've sold our Toyota Tundra and purchased a Toyota Sequoia, and I'm currently selling our Honda CR-V and will be downsizing to a Toyota Matrix or Honda Fit.

The Tundra has been one of the most amazing vehicles I've ever owned. I bought it used with 160k miles on it, and sold it at 200k. Over 5 years I have done my own brakes and oil changes, and have only had to replace the starter. I sold it for $1k less than I bought it (I got a good deal). We bought essentially the exact same vehicle, just in SUV.

The Honda has been a little less stellar, but still good. AC compressor has gone out multiple times (a known issue affecting multiple models), but we replaced it with a warrantied aftermarket part the first time it failed. It's currently at 220k and still kicking.

We only buy used and in cash, so finding the right car can take some time. Toyotas and Hondas have unbelievable resell value in the used market. A used Toyota can fetch a similar price as a brand new American made equivalent.
Then YouTube is a publisher and should not be subject to the DMCA safe harbor provision.
You don't necessarily need the round to survive. If it's reflecting 99.9% of a destructive laser beam, then that poses a risk of that beam bouncing back at the ship and causing damage. It might be a minuscule risk in isolation, but dozens or hundreds of rounds with retroreflectors designed specifically to bounce lasers back whence they came could wreak havoc on all sorts of fragile sensors (including the squishy ones in sailors' eye sockets).
This is a good solution if you are willing to sign into the same iCloud account on both devices.

On my work machine, I don't use my personal iCloud account. I'm still looking for a good solution for this setup. I often create e.g., a Gmail draft to myself on one device then open it on the other, copy, and delete. But this is tedious.

>, HR and finance generally do not have visibility into individual-level claims data

I'm not debating with you but somehow, Tim Armstrong (then CEO of AOL) found out about healthcare claims for one of his employees.[1] The story isn't clear on whether the granularity of the claims data would reveal to Tim who the particular employee was. (Even if Tim didn't know the exact employee, I'm sure he could ask a few questions and/or look at employees' sick day records to figure out which employee it was. If the company pays $1 million in a health claim, that's not necessarily going to stay a secret.)

There’s just a small buffer, but not much money lying around in such a system. The redistribution is immediate.
> You've got to be kidding.

It is plausible in the sense of "plausible deniability". Imagine MBS saying something like "That Khashoggi guy, I wish somebody hacked him to pieces!".

You can interpret that as an order, or you can interpret that as a more casual remark of frustration. If you're ordering a murder, you may well want that kind of ambiguity in the order.

Furthermore, sometimes an unwise underling implements the perceived will of the dear leader in a way that is counter to their interest, e.g the assassination of Pompey "on behalf" of Julius Caesar.
Even typewriters supported strike through (or barring that, asterisks).
Mostly because they're imagining what the worst-case scenario in the future is. They're looking at it completely from their own perspective, which is admittedly more challenging for them, while ignoring that it makes the experience for their users 1000x easier, better, and safer.

I actually enjoyed the parts of your comment that did not include the personal attacks. Overall they weaken your stance and make your arguments feel less genuine. I think you have some really good points otherwise. Consider updating this comment (and ones in the future) to use a more mature tone, and I would imagine you would garner more interest in both your product and your goals.

"Ace coder" isn't quite accurate job title. He was a co-founder. People act differently when they have legal ownership over their work.
Netflix claims an UHD stream is 25 Mbps. This is probably the most demanding use case for your average consumer, but it may not be a rare use case in the near future. Each satellite can support 800 UHD streams. That doesn't seem sufficient if each satellite covers a large geographic area.

This suggests to me a low data cap and/or rate, perhaps comparable to DSL.
Will there be a Starlink train again and where?
The problem with that is the time differences between when things hit your ears, the speaker and the source.

I suppose it could work if your ears are always in a known place.

That’s why we can only make noise cancelling headphones.
> A couple of years ago I was talking to the CEO of an AI company who argued that AI progress was basically an S-curve, and we had already reached its top for sound processing, were nearing it for image and video, but were only halfway up the curve for text. No prize for guessing which one his company specialized in — but he seems to have been entirely correct.

This feels a little off. To me, it feels like image has made the most progress, then text, then sound, then video.

Anyone knows which company they were referring to?

Out of all of these things, open offices have been the worst in my opinion. At least with slack (or whatever other messenger you use) you can ignore that until your thought is complete or you want to make a quick note of your thoughts before allowing the distraction. When someone taps your shoulder it's much harder to ask them to wait, so it happens much less than it should... not to mention the constant passive distraction of people moving around and having other conversations.

We used to be in small offices of 2-4 people. That was perfect and I miss those days. The office looks a lot nicer now that it's open, but it's a disaster from a concentration standpoint. But, I think a lot of managers like the open concept because it's easier to see people and because it does often look nicer and often has more natural light.

>If most new cars aren't kept longer than that, why should you care how long the car lasts after the first owner has sold it?

Because those that buy second-hand hear how much trouble a given OEMs vehicles will likely be to own. If they become money-sinks, then after-market value will plummet. If they become worthless on the second-hand market, either consumers will hang onto them longer (encountering the problems themselves), or they'll become less popular to buy first-hand (because they are difficult to sell for a worth-while price).
Yup. Learned about it in EAS (Earth and Atmospheric Sciences) college intro lab course.

Of course, there are other correct alternatives in Japanese. That is not my point. The article makes two statements that are not correct:

1. "koin ikko ireru" is wrong because of the verb conjugation. The reason it is wrong is that "ikko" is something kids say to each other, or that parents say to their kids, and is weird/incorrect to say in a context where teens and adults are involved. It is also missing the "o" (or "wo," if you prefer).

2. "koin o ireru" is incorrect, again because of verb conjugation. There is nothing wrong with this phrase.

Of course, you could say コインを入れてください, コインを一つ入れる, コインを一枚入れる, コインを入れる, Insert Coin, and other variations on that theme. My only point is that the two asserts above are incorrect in the article.
No, just about people caring about it. (Okay, that was flip, but Perl has really lost its niche, and not many people are very excited about it now.)

This will give developers leverage to ask for time to optimise, upgrade, and improve things they are not normally allowed to work on, as it will raise the discussion to the level of managers and the general public.

However, do you think more could be done to make the default MySQL/PHP type configurations faster out of the box? If it is possible to speed up the default config of most websites on the internet, perhaps there is an easy win to be had.

I’m surprised that people are still surprised by this, but then I’ve gotten pretty cynical at this point.

This phenomenon goes way deeper than people not caring about privacy. It underlies everything from the bystander effect [1], to the Nuremberg defence [2], and everything in between.

That is the intended functionality Bose's current tech, but it doesn't work very well for sports cars in my opinion. It's probably just an update that they're re-branding as an entirely different technology.
Which leads to more light-absorbing ocean being exposed, raising ocean temperatures. Then microscopic phytoplankton, nature's primary co2 -> oxygen converters die out further raising co2 levels, eventually leading light-reflecting upper atmospheric clouds to form with progressively lower surface areas.

Climate change is going to be a hell of a way to put "feedback loops" in the global cultural dictionary.
perf and its ilk are obviously useful, but you need to be aware of several cans of worms with sampling hardware counters, in particular. These include the timing mechanism for sampling, the documentation and intrinsic usefulness of particular counters, and issues with multiplexing more than what can be used simultaneously.

Some of us are privileged to grow up in safe towns run by responsible civil servants, with responsible parents, who send them to institutions of higher education or valuable trades so they can secure a respectable position society.

Some of us grow up with no school, no parents, no society, and all the hate in the world.

Electric aviation always strikes me as an odd idea, given the low power densities that batteries achieve.

By contrast, biofuels are available today and can be made from agricultural waste products (2nd gen), in bioreactors using salt water algae (3rd gen) or electrochemically (4th gen).

They're potentially a drop in replacement for regular fuel - for planes, but also for cars.

Due to the lower energy requirements for building ICE cars versus batteries, a biofuel powered car will be much better for CO2 emissions than an electric one, which you need to drive for many years before it beats a similar sized gasoline fueled car on sum CO2 emissions.

So why are we not heavily investing in biofuel infrastructure? Why are electric motors and batteries hyped up as being the tech of the future? That's an honest question, since I've yet to hear a well-founded physical or engineering argument against it.

Perhaps this isn't even a commentary on the software development lifecycle but I found it interesting as I started playing and advancing that it opened my eyes to parallels between the game and real life.

One thought I'll mention is that at the beginning the founder is of course used for everything and then as time goes on, they are used less. In the game, I wanted to keep the founder free anytime someone else could do the task. In the real world this can lead to a feeling of disconnectedness and atrophy of skills. I didn't play long enough to see if that is truly manifest in the game.
The placeholder text is a reference to a wonderful game called The Talos Principle.
Agreed. About 15 years ago I worked alongside a developer who worked like this. He was a very good engineer (not some savant as in the parent's example, but arguably the best in the organization when his mind was right). His mania had people convincing themselves he was a great engineer, like a black turtleneck and bravado convinced some that Elizabeth Holmes was Steve Jobs 2.0.

Unfortunately, he carried substance abuse and relationship issues with him as well, and eventually his health deteriorated.

When I reflect back, I realize nobody could relate to him because he was ill and needed help. Not because he was smarter or more capable than everyone else.
> Twenty years of counter-insurgencies around the Middle East has amounted to a US butcher's bill that would be less than one single day during a major offensive in 1916 in France or 1943 in the Ukraine.

That's an exaggeration. Iraq 2003-2009 suffered around half the deaths of France 1914-1918.

WW I, most deaths in a single day: ~30,000

WW I, total deaths from France, cvilians and military: ~1,400,000

Iraq invasion: ~200,000 verified violent civilian death.
Total estimations are 2x-5× that number.

These figures were from Wikipedia. From memory, a few comparison points with other Middle East wars were the USA had a minor role (a military minor role, since I doubt Saudi Arabia and UAE would have invaded Yemen if the USA had not provided their full support):

Yemen (2015-): ~100,000 deaths. 10 millions suffer from hunger.

Syria (2011-): ~300,000 deaths
This pretty much nails it. I don't know anyone on macOS who uses Krita, but that's not because macOS has such a tiny tiny userbase there's no reason for anyone to support it -- it's because Krita has neither measurable marketshare or mindshare on the Mac.

It may be a wonderful program now, I don't know, but I do remember KDE's initial efforts on the Mac -- and they were... I originally wrote "just awful," but I'll amend that to a weaker "not very good." I haven't actually seen any desktop GUI program whose primary platform is Linux really take off on the Mac, with the possible exception of LibreOffice. We have so many good cheap-to-free alternatives.

I'm pretty sure that most slow websites aren't slow because their server-side rendering takes a long time. This seems to be mostly a front-end oriented thing (especially directed at pages that load MBs of JS); basically if the page doesn't adhere to all the front-end optimisation guidelines.
It's called "Alphabet" because it is an "alphabet" agency. It's a spook joke.

It's the agency that ties the other ones together. It's the Big Friendly Search Engine. It's the Free Email For Everyone agency. Google Analytics is on 95% of the websites you visit. You cannot escape. They have infiltrated your online experience and embedded themselves in your devices. They are watching from the skies. They are recording you in your home. You are not safe.
It depends on the country. In France for instance if a business exposes something for sale they have to sell it to any customer. They cannot withdraw the sell, nor refuse to sell.

> "data needs to be read from disk in its original row-oriented format before processing, which will account for the lion’s share of the query’s execution latency."

IO is still a bottleneck without column-stores. The selectivity, compression and encoding alone can generate massive speedups because there's less data to process, and less to move through the execution pipeline.

But batch/vectorized processing on row-stores is gaining adoption. MemSQL and SQL Server also use similar techniques.
