While you are using C-style syntax, you are also using "map", which comes pretty close to using vectors in Klong (or K or APL). However, there are many different mapping and folding operstors in array languages, and their combination is what makes these languages terse. For example,

,/:~

(Join Over Converging) flattens a list in Klong.

Klong is simple, because its syntax is very regular. In K, many symbols are overloaded, so their meaning can only be deduced when knowing the types of their operands. In Klong, the syntax is unambiguous. See http://t3x.org/klong/ambiguity.html

Regarding precedence rules: there are none. Everything evaluates from the right to the left (as in K or APL).

Many of the government services available via GOV.UK are designed to be accessible and usable even when JavaScript is disabled. These services are not designed as SPAs (and all the better for it).

For example, here is a demo of an accessible autocomplete drop-down list that uses JavaScript.
When JavaScript is disabled, the list becomes a standard HTML drop-down list.

Humans who are alive.
30 years is an underestimate. Homo sapiens have been around 350,000 years. We've only had indoor plumbing for the last 200 or so.

It took 349,800 years for us to install a toilet. Constructing a pyramid took 346,000 years. Granted, the survivors of climate disaster will have the benefit of legacy technology, but surviving in these new conditions well enough to create a society capable of widescale adaptation of our current society's abilities will take several thousand years at best. As they say, Rome wasn't built in a day.
Censorship failed... on the internet? What, imagine that.

Seriously, people will always find a way to say what they want to regardless of how hard you want them not to. Trying to cut someone's tongue out will only make them double down in their beliefs. Non-condescending truth and reason is the better route, most crusaders though have no idea how to be kind to those who disagree with them and do their positions regardless of validity a disservice.

No one ever listens to let alone agrees with the person yelling at them. Ever.
Thanks! Enjoy the book!
Past the probation period even if you want to pay firing is not easy. Sure you can use contractual statements (such as that the work can be anywhere in France) but short of harassment there is no easy way out.

If you fire someone out means that you are shutting down the position. The court will not be happy if it was a fake shutdown.

A middle ground such as the specific laws for first employment (which did not pass) child be a middle ground.
> Employees are free to leave

Those jobs were civil servants with lifetime job guarantee in what was, at the time of hiring, a public company.

Of course the whole question is how to transition to private company with private employment, but that doesn’t cancel the fact that civil servants had made serious concessions to get a lifetime job (lower grade than what they could get in the private sector after their diploma, in exchange for lifetime security), which artificially put them in a weak negotiation position (few savings, mental dedication to only one speciality).

Well, as they are selling in the EU, you can at least get you money back (probably about (75/years you owned the app)*fee less but hey) if you bought it there.

And then report them to your local consumer protection bureau for illegal and/or deceptive practices depending on your country.
Bump for my related project: https://github.com/CGamesPlay/chronicler

I'm actually in the process of rewriting this. I like your approach of using DevTools to manage the requests, the approach taken in Chronicler is to hook into Chrome's actual request engine.

You might like to look at Chronicler to see some attempts at UI for a project like this, particular decisions around what to download and how to retrieve it.
Uncertainty does not favor inaction.

Claiming otherwise is fundamentally dishonest. "The instruments say our jet engines are overheating. Let's wait to be certain, instead of heading for the nearest airport. Who knows, it might be nothing!" Said nobody ever.

It's not a consumer's job to validate whether the license model of a company is sustainable for the company.

IMHO courts should force the vendor to honor the contracts or as a compromise refund the money payed initially when people bought the license

If the company goes bankrupt so be it, no one forced them to give out lifetime licenses.
Neural Networks are good at curve fitting which makes them useful for inference +- noise.

In control systems you need to do inference to predict feedback signals +- noise.

So you can use a neural network for that. Train it on input and feedback data from your samples.

Your control system still needs to account for predictability, smooth behaviour etc so you have the rest of your machinery to handle that.

This is not an end-to-end system though.

Anyone know if there are end-to-end deep learning controllers with guarantees on the output space?

Ultimately the issue is that year after year, Australia has suffered the worst droughts and heatwaves ever experienced. The climate is...warmer.

It doesn’t really matter what else happened, the conditions are badly exacerbated by the climate emergency.

Dry wood and foliage burns easily, that’s what’s happened.
True, but still time wasted on an avoidable issue! Well, that's how I view it.
Finding another job is not easy for many people. I've been looking for work (not in France) for years - even getting an interview is difficult, and I have very poor interview skills (autism spectrum disorder makes it particularly hard to learn how to interview) so I don't get anywhere.

Not everyone is in a market where companies are desperate for warm bodies.
So, therefore, don't do any of it?

Denialism is fundamentally dishonest.
I assume their advertisers don't like being associated with the anti-vaccination movement.

There is also a lot of pressure on the Facebooks and Googles of the world to censor things. Politicians and traditional media are the big abusers here (and it always feels like it's motivated by self-interest rather than the greater good). I think these companies should push back, and they probably want to (it's expensive to be the police), but when Congress threatens to investigate, what choice do you have but to do what they say? It's unconstitutional to make a law about what you can and can't say on the Internet, but it's not unconstitutional to say "hey, maybe censor some stuff and we won't look too hard into what taxes you're paying".

I have a surefire solution to the problems of fake news, anti-vaxxing, etc. Give every American a world-class science education for free, and this problem solves itself in a generation. Nobody wants to pay for that, though, so instead we blame Instagram. It's cheaper and we feel like we're doing something.
At least the article makes it seem it's not a decision taken on a whim and they did some kind of POC and planned the transition.

Of course the obvious thing missing in the article is how they expect to deliver new business features while recoding everything in a new language.

It's fun to read this and the Etsy thread currently on the frontpage as well.
I've been thinking about this too. Too many roles want developers to be short-order cooks, processing tickets. I'm not sure a product role is the answer for me, but I'd be interested in the answer to this question.
The point is I think that the management want you to quit but cannot (or do not want) to do this themselves. They harass you until you give up.
What makes you think most people want this? I don't think it's coincidence that most people vote the party line consistently throughout their lives. I think they identify with a party and it becomes a part of who they are.

It sounds like you want something that encourages critical thinking. Call me cynical, but I don't think most people want to think critically.

Ancient Rome had indoor plumbing. What they didn't have is an industrial manufacturing base or the scientific insight that would have made sanitation effective. Those innovations are definitely recent, and something we could lose in a generation or two.
yeah that the hard part, humans can't identify it visually, so car will probably be able to identify it only after it loses traction, reducing the margins significantly.
Bighead thought: Can't we just melt everything down to a big soup and suck out the different fractions/layers and then further chemically and/or mechanically separate all the stuff that sticks together?
Disgusting. This is not right. The government shouldn't get to decide who gets INTERNET and who doesn't. Freedom of information is human right. You cannot keep the government honest if you don't get timely information in timely manner.
We have every reason to believe that the human species will survive. Civilization, much less so.
If a business took away a free service (referring to the free lifetime users) that they gave me a license for and said pay nominal amount. Go to court and spend tons of time and money litigating or just pay the money? Think I'll pay the money as I value my time. It is your choice. If there are other services to switch to then this is the time to re-evaluate choice.

IANAL, but what would you go to court for? Deceptive practice? This is an app, nothing important that caused me undue harm. Just find alternatives.

> If the company goes bankrupt so be it, no one forced them to give out lifetime licenses.

Seriously, you would rather an app you found useful to go bankrupt and forced to find alternatives than to pay to support it and not find alternatives? Sheesh.
I mostly just have two accounts: a private and a shared account.

The shared account is very simple: Every month me and my boyfriend tops it up to 5000 USD, we have a debit card to it each, and all shared expenses including rent come out of this account. By topping it off to a high number like this, we ensure we wont run out within a month, and we just use the debit card for things we need.

For my private stuff I have a credit card that I pay everything with, and I've set it up to be automatically paid off at the end of each month.

Every so often I write the expenses we've had into gnucash so I can see how much we're spending, but I don't budget in advance.

I also have a savings account with some emergency money, but I'm a poor student so I don't really have money to invest or for long term savings.
This is all correct and true, but is also changing, especially in tech.

In other areas this is still very much the case.
I wonder when Instagram will start suppressing religion.
Yeah nothing against someone who is terminal giving up. For instance, his brother has cancer right now and is not expected to make it either, and everyone simply accepts it. What seems wrong to me is we know plenty of people who've had a bypass surgery and are now back to normal, because they did what the doctors said.

I think the answer to "What is Earth's most valuable resource?" is frequently answered with "the people". By common folk, dictators, and ordinary politicians.

I'd put that into the common knowledge pile.
They’re obviously failing to realise they will be victims too

Will they? Many of them won't live to see the worst effects. And I can't help but think one driving force for them is simply selfishness: if the problem doesn't affect you personally it's oh so easy to just ignore it.
Oh, I stand corrected: Indoor plumbing will only take 347,000 years.

You're commenting on a common libertarian rhetorical excess that's ancillary to the point being discussed: If something can be ultimately done by force, it is equivalent to violence.

Meaning, when you get a parking ticket, that's state-sanctioned violence, because ultimately some non-consentual means could be applied to force you to turn over the money. Taxes are violence by the same argument, and, I presume, regulation of a lottery. (Someone might be sent to prison).
Making $20k net in 6 months - I would consider B2B sales, in a space with minimal compliance and regulatory overheads, such as B2B software which solves a manual process or cumbersome issue (e.g. taking anything that people do on excel and automate it). Get version 1 out asap.
Australian scientists have linked the severity and intensity of this event to climate change.

We have not, but events are overtaking them. The difference in outcomes are interesting academically, but not practically.
There is a whole existing structure to influence government decisions and policies.

First, there is are the Democratic and Republican party organizations which range from precinct workers up to the national committees. Typically, the only way to get elected to political office is to join and work your way up in the organization of whichever party is dominant in your area. Occasionally talented people join the non dominant party and win office, but it is rare.

Second are the numerous groups dedicated to advancing this or that policy. They have members, collect money, organize, and influence elected officials at the local, state and federal level.

Third are the various NGOs that work to influence policies in Washington. These include lobbying groups, think tanks, etc.

Fourth, money talks. If you aren't contributing to the political organizations and causes you believe in, you have very little influence in a democracy.
I'd consider 35 people who felt that suicide was better than leaving is a pretty solid display of why that argument doesn't work.
You are right for private employment, but those people were hired under public servant contracts in a public company at the time, with lifetime employment guarantee.

So you are correct, employment is too protected, both in private and public sector, but in addition, the state promises too much. I have seen so many public servants being harassed and/or depressed because they didn’t fit/like their job, that I confirm lifetime jobs make no-one happy.

No, I think they’re trying to support the industry.

What other plausible motive would there be for the inaction?

I mean, if what you said was true and they only cared about people’s futures, they would’ve carved out a transition plan for those jobs to renewables thirty years ago. Nothing has been done really since.
There is such a system in Germany, called Grüner Punkt or Duales System. They tax manufacturers' packaging and run the collection and recycling from that tax income.

Imho it didn't help all that much. I did not find numbers for the reduction in packaging, but my impresssion is "none". As for recycling the waste they collect, there are numbers between "half is just icinerated" and "only 5% is recycled": https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duales_System_(Abfallwirtsch...
> taxes are insanely high (>50% income tax after a 24% employment tax)

This is a lie. The top bracket is at 45% above €156.244. This means it is mathematically impossible to pay more than 45% in income taxes, let alone more than 50%.

> systematically high levels of inequality

Yes, there is, but France has a lower Gini index than Canada, so hearing that criticism coming from expats to that country is a bit hypocritical.

> Aren’t there almost certainly other factors involved? Acknowledging that climate change is one factor among several doesn’t seem to me outrageous.

When working on a purely scientific level one should also allow to check assumptions. Otherwise science would degrade into mysticism. At the same time it is in the nature of science to take previous results into account, especially if those have been peer-reviewed and find a wide range of consensus, so more effort can be put into research that is based on that.

On the other hand Scott Morrison is a politician and not a scientist so he has an obligation to base his decisions on public will and take research results into account. He should not do research as a Prime Minister. A lot of modern research is based on probabilities, in the world of politics this translates to risks. In the startup world people are somehow obliged to take high risks, on the other hand governments must keep risks low.
Only if your workload involves passing around a lot of network traffic (e.g. a load balancer) or is highly latency-sensitive.

I've got backend servers that routinely max out 32c/64t CPUs but push so little traffic that replacing the NIC with a cell phone modem would make no discernible difference. There are many types of server workloads where the NIC is not the bottleneck at all, so the parent's argument that low NIC queue counts make high CPU core counts useless is false.
I just cannot understand how rational engineers would choose untyped languages like Python or Ruby for large scale systems. Humans make mistakes - even very smart humans make frequent mistakes - and blast radius grows with the size of the system.
Free software was once necessary to balance out the astronomical costs of enterprise software. But this is not the case anymore.

Free software is in this day and age not sustainable and using it it without contributing a dime is parasitic and detrimental to the health of the sw industry.

A lot of so called “free” software is alive and kicking strong because it is funded by mega corporations doing it to kill the smaller competition.

In a sense using VS Code or VS Codium is just as bad as relying on an obscure SAP module.

I’m pretty sure if you look into the fires in Australia at the moment, you will see the effects are pretty bad for people of all ages.

There have already been deaths from this event and many people are suffering from the heatwave and smoke inhalation. Even major sporting events have been cancelled.

I would say this has exploded into somewhat of a political crisis for the current Australian government. I would say they’re were hoping to see out their careers before shit got this real. Again probably thinking the worst is a long way away; However; Here we are it is worse than predicted.

The older generation are not missing out at all, they’re involved now.

If you’re under 80-90, you’re like going to have a pretty miserable ten-twenty years ahead.
Every analysis shows that actually dealing with the problem front and center invigorates the economy. Politicians resisting action are not motivated by concern for the economy or public well-being. The only alternative consistent with the facts is they are beholden to fossil industry.

Wasn't the whole point of the 737max to all planes with new engines (which were more efficient but changed significantly the flight characteristics) to be flown by pilots without having to re certify?

As I understand it, airlines or the faa only permit pilots to be licensed for 2 airframes at a time. So a 747 pilot can also fly 737s but not other commercial airliners. That's a problem because if the new boeing isn't a 737, existing pilots can't fly it without giving up one of the other two. Airlines dont want that as it makes introducing the new plane a massive pain in the arse and it means either dumping old planes or running a complex mixed infrastructure.

So Boeing effectively had pilots fly a 737 simulator that would make the actual Max fly when/where/how they wanted.

Except the simulator had a bug where if a single sensor failed it crashed the plane.

So the trigger of the issue is a single point of failure in a sensor but the fundamental causes are needing to not change pilot certification and/or only being allowed 2 certifications at a time.
