One of my weed out questions in programming interviews is to ask their opinion on Excel. Specifically, strengths and weaknesses.

If they don't come up with at least one strength or spend the whole answer bashing it, that's an instant reject for any position touching UX.
Yes, but this is to be expected. I think we are nearing the 'trough of disillutionment' in the Gartner hype cycle.

I sympathize with your situation. People are fallible arbiters of truth and relevancy. But why was the fact that this editor was a guitarist have relevance? Was that his/her stated profession (and so by implication you're saying they overestimate their ability as an editor in this particular field of science industry ala Dunning-Kruger effect)?
It is ironic. I have no data on this, but I would guess that having sex with the same gender is far less common than having multiple sexual partners, so why have we worked so hard to normalize and legalize same gender relationships while giving no thought to polygamous relationships?

One of the reasons I bring him up is that I think it’s important for us to have an awareness that we are on a bit of a merry-go-round where tech is concerned. Most days we are answering questions that have been asked in some form for fifty years. Or in this case, seventy.

Don’t fool yourself into thinking this is all new. It’s new to you. The constraints may or may not be new, but you are often treading old, if fertile, territory.

Why does this matter? Am I trying to be a buzzkill? Maybe. It’s about hubris, in part. Knowing there is probably prior art means prior conversations that you might be able to learn from. And those people who disagree with you and you dismiss? They may be on the other side of this argument in five years when the next new/old thing comes back and your amazing work hits the recycling bin.
Type system's of typescript , mypy and julia are far better than type syatem's of java/c#/c++/go . Null safety, type inference, sanner generics, Union types, structural typing are come to mind. I think the reason is that these type systems should catch up expressiveness of their host language.
For those outside Croatia, the drama perfectly reflects the politics of the country. You have the left and right still bickering over WWII events and shaping the "conversation", while the moderate majority is apathetic about the whole thing ("don't use hr wikipedia" in this case, "emigrate" in real life).

Politics is getting extremely polarized in a lot of the western world. In Croatia, we never had non-polarized politics.

Yeah, I used to have this problem myself, and now if I ever do the whole egotistical thing it's between friends joking around, or against someone on a forum whose being egotistical and I usually add references against their programming urban legend logic. I think some of us enjoy programming so much and it's like such a magical thing finding one thing you enjoy and are capable of doing that you forget you're always going to learn something new. I meet great programmers who have no idea about front-end web dev or even the opposite, amazing front-end developers who have no idea about back-end, and nowadays mobile that dont touch either! Then there's other niches altogether that dont care about any of the aforementioned disciplines / branches of programming (heck, systems engineering and such).
Also, that's hardly a feature of Windows 10, more of your SSD and UEFI, as well as the fact that the Windows 10 default doesn't really shutdown anymore, it's now actually a form of hibernation: https://www.howtogeek.com/349114/shutting-down-doesnt-fully-...

Hmm...

I have three children - and all are intelligent, beautiful well adjusted kids. 5, 7, and 15.

One thing I made a point of as each was born - I maintained as much physica contact with each immediately after birth. I didnt allow them to leave or be examined without me there, touching them.

I did it not for the posted reasons, but just beacuse it felt right to me.

ALso - I would hum and sing to them a tune while they were still in the womb.

As soon as they came out, I held them and sang and hummed the same tune to them. It immediately calmed them - with my first, she immediately relaxed and stopped crying whil the nurse took her vitals, measurements and pricked her heel.

It was magical.
Capitalism is only bad for those who do not share profits coming from better productivity.
Government regulation is needed to balance inequality created by capitalism: progressive tax, competition laws, professional unions etc. Workers are also responsible to bargain deals that make them share more benefits and raise their bar.
This is everlasting struggle.
I believe it can bear load, but it takes something like a decade to harden to that point. It's like very slow curing concrete.
Me too! A few months ago I made detailed notes on how to set up your own: https://github.com/shawwn/wiki

Gwern was kind enough to assist by sending over the exact version numbers of all the Haskell libraries it depends on, and answering some questions about deployment. The version numbers turned out to be crucial to getting everything running.

IMO https://www.gwern.net/ is the ideal combination of style + ease of use (for the writer) + effective ways of organizing knowledge.

The whole thing is hosted out of an S3 bucket, so there's no server to manage and zero downtime. I've wondered if it'd be possible to use github pages for this purpose, since that would make it completely free. But it only takes a couple hours of work to get everything up and running. The biggest delay is waiting for haskell to compile all the libraries.
I think there is a high chance that is 100% bullshit.

Most likely has to do with confusing cause-and-effect.

It could be just as well that highly methylated babies cry more and could be more demanding or parents with highly methylated babies are themselves less tolerant to crying thus end up handling babies more.

The problem, they way it is being reported, and they way it lines up with pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo groupthink makes it stink. That's why it is newsworthy. People want to believe that handling a baby will change their DNA.

Same bullshit like papers like this:

Anyone who does malware analysis professionally has to deal with packed data in new and funky ways, as malware binaries tend to be packed (ie compressed) in unique ways to get past antivirus software.

We are tool makers, not robots. Machine level precision is why we design and build machines. Art isn’t a product to be created for museums; it’s a process, a meditation, a discovery, communication. You’ll note that that the rise of abstract expression in painting correlates with the refinement of photography. We no longer needed humans to create realistic depictions, so we explored deeper into the purpose of those depictions.

I don’t know what life is, but I’d consider it a waste to try to turn all of us into machines. Remember John Henry, the steel drivin’ man?

Also, the potential for evil is too great in such a device.

That’s why your father told you it’s an immoral plan.
I lived in Japan for 2 years, and only came across no TP three or four times. I've heard that it used to be like that 10 or 20 years ago, but now even in more rural areas it is provided. There are often toilets equipped with bidets... Was a bit of a shock when my first day there I used a toilet in a 7-11, went to flush, and accidentally hit the bidet controls...
I'm not sure if I'm convinced that technology leads to transparency by default. I don't think it would be too expensive to drop a particular record or table from a database if the incentive was there. Of course, when you consider distributed systems in which data for an entity or transaction is spread across many different systems and infrastructures, it would be too expensive to track down and eliminate all traces of the data.

But could you elaborate on what you mean by 'transparency by default'?
Satellite internet has indeed existed for decades, but via small numbers of geostationary satellites (Iridium only has 76 active satellites; Starlink launches about that many in every launch). That means severely constrained bandwidth, and high latency given the ~50,000 mile round trip the data has to take. It's also expensive to get a satellite out there.

Low Earth orbit constellations have both lower latency (a couple hundred miles for data to travel instead of tens of thousands) and dramatically more (and cheaper) satellites = more bandwidth available.
While a vast improvement, hearing aids are only crutches. They improve verbal communication ability from impossible/hard to possible but still tiring (depends on type of hearing loss, of course). With digital aids there was marked improvement but there is only so much "bandwidth" available in the damaged ear.

So, sorry for preaching, any time if you are near person with hearing aids, please take into account that (s)he is only hearing with crutches.
Not sure where you got this idea. The only significant part of the Go codebase that was inherited from Plan 9 was the C compilers, used to build the original Go compiler that was written (from scratch) in C. I think perhaps a hash table implementation was also brought over from P9. That stuff is all long gone now, though.

The idea that Go's scheduler design is somehow inherited from Plan 9 is ridiculous.
I’ll really put it to the test in Parallels and see how it plays with their integrations.

Once pytorch is updated to use XNNPACK (being worked on right now) I think it should be fine to use. That plus QNNPACK makes inference quite low on power usage in my (admittedly limited, just integrated XNNPACK) experience.
Ftp and sftp are different protocols. So are HTTP and HTTPS. So are IMAP and IMAPS. And that's the issue with new protocols being added: the security question is a protocol-layer question, but one can't just hot-drop a new protocol into SSL and call it a day; security requires abstraction-breaking considerations.

Remember when Windows installs didn't have firewalls on by default and it was pretty trivial to attack people's installations via insufficiently-secure protocols running on open ports? It was a bad time.

HTTP has both elaborate tooling for deep packet analysis and a battle-hardened secured protocol, which we don't get with new protocols.
Just want to mention since it's not obvious from your comment, that there are both Vim and Emacs plugins to offer LSP support, and also Neovim is getting a built-in LSP implementation.
It’s a hard problem, and language + runtime support helps. That’s why C++ has RAII, C# has IDisposable / using, Java has try-with, python has enter / exit / with, golang has defer, and so on. The only reason C has nothing comparable, it’s almost 50 years old now.

The problem is only tangentially related to API semantics. The problem is mutating state. The state is not necessarily managed by an API, for instance CPU registers aren’t, you modify them directly. Same with other global state like I/O formatting options and locales, these things are just global variables.
Wonderful, that's great to hear, and I can move to 3.8 quite easily myself.

It's nice to see strong progress in such important areas. My post is probably overly critical, but I write Python almost every day, and maintaining a highly-typed library can be demoralizing at times.
I have actually met people who vehemently insist that when they "space out" they aren't deep in thought, they are literally off -- not thinking at all.

It's pretty astonishing how much variation there is in people's inner minds. Some can imagine spatial relationships in great detail. Some can't even imagine a simple stick figure, but can instead remember long lists of information.
I had an experience like this early in my career and for a very long time I fought to avoid this by insisting that there is a world of difference between learning to work faster (through craft and mastery) versus faking it. You see this in sports, where one team is ahead and loses in the final minutes because they have ground themselves down. The other team wins on stamina.

But the number of people who want to hear this is depressingly low. It’s more common in younger people, but they have no clout, so I get mentees easily enough, but they take a long time to become allies.

The places I look back on fondly, I had a boss who agreed, but often their skip level boss was having none of it, so the work was still... well, work.

* Stylistic enough to have some heart, but simple enough to not have the design get in the way

* Great content, his blog posts are a good mixture of technical and general thoughts

* I like his timeline on the about me page which provides some flavor to his experience.

As I was working on my personal site I was peeking into his github repo pretty consistently to see how he structured certain things.
Having more satellites lets you communicate in a straighter line. Lower altitude lets you hug the Earth more closely. Higher altitude lets you see more neighbors. I'd wager the low altitude satellites are for last mile communication moreso than global linkage. I mean, otherwise they'd have no use for the higher altitude ones? An optimal low latency link around the planet would mostly alternate low-high-low-high-low in sequence, if there aren't enough low altitude nodes to use them exclusively. But maybe you could crush this argument by doing the actual math in this case.
Not sure, although you’d think the energy cost of re-making the can each time would be pretty significant. Also tou need to drink two cans to replace one water bottle.

I feel like the #1 thing they ought to be doing is opening it up as a platform.

I think their original mission was: build a better keyring. They've done that, it works great! But the idea that they will follow that up by building a chat app better than Slack or Teams seems like hubris, akin to trying to win two roulette spins in a row.

If, OTOH, they opened up KB as a platform, I'm not sure what exactly would happen, but it could be pretty cool. It's not hard to imagine, say, a distributed social media app built on exposing a feed of files your KB friends have posted in their public KBFS, or indie game devs using Keybase as a cheap and fast way to add authentication and in-game chat to their games. I'm not sure how they would monetize that exactly, but it seems like a better problem to have than "let's beat Slack and Teams with five developers and a several-years-late-start".
Concrete buildings like this, even when thoughtfully designed, end up looking decrepit and decayed after just a couple of years as the concrete ages and discolours. I see nothing “uplifting” about that building.
People got booted from my first place of work a lot - probably something like 1 in 5 didn't survive the probation period. The idea is to make the probation period long enough that the employee can demonstrate value. If they can't demonstrate value in that time period, they are let go.

This was not the practice where I worked, but you could have different probation periods for different roles. So someone who is primarily focused on technical debt might have a longer probation period than someone focused on rapid feature development.
Smalltalk and especially Squeak is something I'll always love, congratulations on such an awesome project!

One question I have is does the GraalVM open up any possibilities towards extending Smalltalk to a more multi-threaded domain using the capabilities of it and the JVM. I guess that the one thing that has always held me back from doing more Smalltalk is watching that single thread peak at 12.5% of my machine's capabilities, with the other 7 cores staying quiet. Or is the "single-threadedness" of Squeak too deeply baked into the implementation to be able to work around with the JVM?

I know there were some multi-core experiements a few years ago with the RoarVM but nothing seemed to make its way into the main implementation.

I do think that monogamy should be considered "ideal" in some sense (especially for raising children), but I do think we need to understand that not everyone's upbringing, which forms their (surprise, surprise) attachment style, will allow this to be a healthy constraint.

The statistics, obviously, bear out that a large number of, even happy, people cannot hack it under the constraints of monogamy. Either monogamy needs to be better defined or we need to drop it as a societal pressure/constraint on relationships. Probably a little bit of both is needed.

I have had similar experiences. I've taken very tedious tasks that involved a lot of monotonous paperwork and automated them and that turns everyone's problems into my problem when they don't work the way the user thinks they should. I've also had people use the fact that my tool, which just automates a process that everyone had to do manually in the past anyways, use me and my tool not functioning correctly for them as an excuse to not having the work done on time.
