A democratic system of rules doesn't mean a democratic distribution of power. Rules rarely have their intended effect 100%.

In all democracies, elites form, which wield far more political power, and derive far more benefit from government, than voters.

Even in a perfectly democratic society, giving the majority, acting collectively through their government, so much power over individuals would be dangerous, because it would create enormous rent-seeking opportunities for those who wield the most influence over public opinion and because it would endanger persecuted minorities.

Lots of advice to raise your prices, which I agree with, but just be careful if quoting for a dream project or something in an industry you want to move into.

I recently quoted for such a project, with a higher price than usual but not unreasonable at all.
Heard nothing back from the client for weeks now when discussions were previously going well. I feel like they have taken offence at my quote or something.

Any advice on how to follow up in a situation like that?
How many algorithms are there in chrome alone? I remember when people realized that they could game Facebook shares for higher rankings on chrome and for a while buzzfeed top ten lists outranked Wikipedia every fucking time. I guess that’s still going on. What a clusterfuck search results are nowadays.

If anyone builds anything, please make it so algorithms or queries are archived. I hate how I can’t find anything on the internet that I searched for and found years ago. Its like the history of the internet evaporates every year. I don’t even know if some websites still exist or if I simply can’t find them because rankings are terrible.

I’m to the point that I haven’t been on a new website in years. How do you find new websites in this day and age when the same websites are ranked at the top every time?

Worse of all it that they don't acknowlege how bad it is for Kotlin as well.

What good is Kotlin's FFI to Java, if everything that you have at your disposal are out-of-date java libraries?

Even the new desugaring being done in R8 and D8 can only go as far as what ART is capable of, sometimes with worse performance, because the Java libraries rely on new JVM bytecodes and intrisic APIs.

So the only long term solution, assuming they keep ignoring modern Java, is to rewrite the world in Kotlin.

Arriving there, means that they could just rename ART into KVM and be done with it.
The default behaviour of the kernel is no rp filtering at all. Older versions of systems enabled strict to filtering, no doubt causing the same sort of complaints from people who like to complain about that sort of thing. Newer versions relaxed this to loose rp filtering for the reasons explained in the commit message.

And now, Swift, C# and naturally Kotlin are coming up with similar tooling, which kind invalidates the reasoning why it had to be Dart, above all languages.

Not to mention that Flutter experience isn't nothing more than cute to anyone that has experience doing UI design on Common Lisp or Smalltalk environments, which I reckon all of us are quite old for SV standards.

But the use-case here is the generation of fuel. That's not a case where you require base load. You can just simply generate less fuel when there's less power. That does affect the profitability of the plant, but if the plant is connected to the grid, it could still get some power from other areas.

And remember that by the time these new small, modular nuclear power plants come online, wind and solar will have become even cheaper. They will also be a larger part of the grid, which will mean there's more opportunity to get paid for load balancing services.

I think these kind of plants is one of the things that will help us get to 100% renewable. Not only can you balance out some of the demand, you could even put aside some fuel, and if it's one of those rare days that there's little wind or solar over a whole continent, you could burn some of that fuel in a gas power plant, and we already have those. That is, old gas power plants could be a part of the solution if you keep them around to burn renewable gas to balance the grid.

I have nothing against nuclear. It's safer than most people think and all that. But I really don't think we'll get the next generation reactors we need - for a low enough price - to solve the worlds energy problems before renewable alternatives and various load balancing solutions become cheap enough. And I really think renewables are the ultimate solution, especially once you start putting the wind turbines out to sea where the wind is more stable, and it doesn't affect wildlife and humans as much. Uranium mining is still quite dirty. So is mining for metals/minerals for renewable solutions, but they're generally recyclable. Renewables leads to a world where we don't need to continuously dig up stuff for energy.
I agree, replace all the current coal/natural gas/etc factories with nuclear. It's here, it's well understood and it can be done. It will serve us well until fusion is perfected. It will end the global warming issues and we can even take older more fallible reactors offline.
I concur. I'd phrase like this... at some point you transition from offering the course highlights to simply offering the course. And the highlights seeker is probably a different customer to the more ambitious student.

Smalltalk with the GraalVM
I really do wish the Community as a whole embrace TruffleRuby rather than leaving it on the sideline. GraalVM, which TruffleRuby is based on, along with TruffleRuby is literally few hundred million dollar of investment as an implementation over the years.

Much of the problem has to do with C extensions, despite the team's effort to even have C Code Compiled with TruffleRuby, they also had to go all the way to fix all the C library that didn't work with TruffleRuby due to undefined behaviours.

To paraphrase them, "it looks interesting and it is something that we are following on", which means nothing to me.

In any case Kotlin/Native doesn't bring nothing to Android itself.

ART makes use of AOT/JIT with code cache, which is much better than straight AOT on languages with reflection, dynamic dispatch and dynamic loading everywhere.

This is why they gave up on pure AOT introduced during Android 5 and 6 lifetime.

Then the NDK is tailored for writing native libraries for consumption from ART, only exposing C bindings, even though most of the code is actually C++.

So hardly a win having Kotlin/Native there.

Part of the problem the industry has with VR is unrealistic measures of success.

> Yet, you’ll rarely find software engineers complaining about long hours or being woken up because of a production issue. The software is our baby, and we like to care for it as such. That means if it needs feeding in the middle of the night, we do it. If it needs extra care over the weekend, we do that too, all with a smile because our creation is growing.

We need to stop this! We are promoting unhealthy extra hours. We are making it like it's ok to expect/ask developers to work overnight and weekends. Work-life balance is not just a cliché, we need to incentivise developers to have a real life outside of work

Intent matters here, and anti-vaxxers spread this information because they believe they will help the kids. Scientists are often wrong. Probably less often than other people, and probably not in the case of vaccines, but it is dumb to make it illegal in general to say things scientists disagree with.

And yes, scientists say that kids die without vaccines, some people disagree, so you would actually punish them for disagreeing with scientists since otherwise you wouldn't be sure these people killed kids.
Same applies to why ChromeOS when Android? Politics.

Management is throwing money at them and watching who brings the best numbers back home, kind of thing.

Although like ChromeOS was forced to eventually support Android, I imagine that Flutter will eventually loose the battle.

Betting on Dart was never a clever option to start with, and now with Xamarin/WinUI, JetPack Compose and SwiftUI all demoing Flutter like experiences, it is clear that the reasoning for Dart being a special case isn't really the case.
Here’s a 4th step:

Be quite liberal with your cross-referencing of issues, pull requests, commits, comments in Github’s UI.

GitHub will prominently display these reference breadcrumb whenever you’re navigating around. When I found myself in an obscure Github issue tracking down a problem, it was _awesome_ to see a reference made 6 months ago by a colleague in a different team.

Now that I’ve left plenty of references in my own little corner of Github, I’ve made my own life easier too.

It's the dream. A flying carrier delivers conventional air superiority anywhere on the planet in hours at a fraction of the cost and risk associated with naval carriers. ICBMs are a ww3 doomsday weapon and belong to a completely different class.

The ideal air superiority fight for USA would be to get a bunch of large long-range cargo planes carrying pallet launched missiles and drones and dump it all at standoff range. The only thing holding that strategy back is the cost and logistics of keeping those planes fuelled in the air.

> And now, Swift, C# and naturally Kotlin are coming up with similar tooling...

That may be true, but right now, none of them has something as polished and usable as Flutter. And it looks like it will be many years before they do, all the while Flutter keeps getting better. So, if you have time to wait for these other platforms to catch up, go ahead while people who need to write code right now can enjoy something else.

> EDIT: Or if you really want to be amazed go play with SELF.

Oh come'on, are you really suggesting something that looks straight out of the early 90's is something that would amaze anyone today? Or there's something that actually looks and behaves modern out of the Self and Smalltalk world (certainly was not the case last time I checked, a few years back)?

Because the alternative is not resetting the state and having to deal with the fallout. iOS does this and it's a source of even more strange bugs and side issues (based on doing cross-platform development across several teams).

This even led to the point where a huge amount of iOS apps simply banned rotation support to not deal with it.

It's just a different tradeoff. The underlying issue is that developers don't want to deal with storing the state which causes issues on lower end devices, which start to break as users multitask. The Android tools for that also aren't all that great - although I also haven't really seen any other toolkit do it better.

> At this point, I feel no language can compensate for the platform's out-of-date java libraries. I think Google has its priorities wrong: first should be recent java, second should be kotlin.

Kotlin works on all Android versions. Java updates don't. That doesn't mean Google shouldn't update the JVM on Android, it does however mean that any update to Kotlin immediately translates to wins across whole ecosystem, including people supporting Androids back to versions like 4.x, while Java updates don't.

It's a significantly better tradeoff - similarly like using TypeScript and polyfills gives you more powerful language on the web without restricting you only to newest browsers.

As someone else pointed out the framerate is already way past 60Hz.

But is resolution that important? If had to list the areas where VR needed improvement it would be fairly low down my list. I'd put comfort and FOV higher and improving the screen door effect would also probably trump resolution.

But I think none of these things are deal-breakers. Content is king as they say. Previous new media have not been held back by quality issues. Early consoles didn't suddenly leap into mass adoption when the graphics improved. Cinema didn't mature when film stock got better. It was content and people's awareness that changed.

> I disagree: they should just dump the whole ecosystem. Kotlin is a shabby bandaid, not because the language isn’t good (no comments there) but because the substrate is a mess of bloated, terrible, OO Java nonsense. Android development is just awful no matter the language.

They should dump the most widespread mobile operating system ecosystem... because some people think API's are "OO nonsense"? Would you also want Microsoft to abandon whole Windows ecosystem just because WinAPI dates back to Win16?

This is insanity and completely ignores the reasons why ecosystems get popular.

But quantity brings its own complexity. When you are writing the code this is usually not a problem as you are selective in your patterns and features you employ. However, when you have to read other's code, you need to be aware of details and intricacies of coding styles, patterns and language features they employed and that might not be part of your daily toolbox. This is where 'there's just a lot of it' tends to becomes problematic.

CLOS is a topic on its own. I loved it myself, as for me it aligned much more with the way my brain wrapped around an object paradigm and I felt the dispatching in what became a more traditional object approach from Smalltalk to Java and C# to be way too restrictive and therefore needing to resort quaint constructs for pretty basic composite things. But I do know this was not the most popular opinion.
