only if you use snapshot dependencies (or your dependencies use that).

Maven pins down the version for you if you followed the "best pactise", or you can override sub-dependencies' versions if you should so choose (via dependencyManagement), and also lets you control the actual repo to download from as well. And as a bonus, you get to share the binary across different projects if they are on the same machine.
Balancing that out, of course, is that professional engineers (I'm talking about PEs here, not programmers) can be held liable if they sign off on something they knew, or should have known, to be defective.

They would be held liable even if their boss ordered them to do so.

It's a very different set of incentives than we have in software, but maybe its time we introduce real PEs into software development.
I see people make the argument that it will reduce 'incentives to do well' all the time... but why is that so accepted? The net gain for 'winning' is always going to be positive, so it will always be better to win than to not... most people who work really hard to 'win' have that drive in them to succeed regardless of the actual amount of money they make.

Really, after enough millions, the extra money isn't really changing their life... yet many still are driven to keep 'winning'... it clearly isn't about having the money to buy things at that point, it is about an internal drive. That won't change if we tax at a higher rate.

As for it hurting the economy, what evidence do you have of that? If we use the extra tax dollars to provide UBI, this will cause economic growth as there are more consumers with money to spend. While inflation would be a worry, our modern economy has shown that we have a lot of latent productive capacity (and a lot of goods that don't require more resources to produce, like digital goods) that mitigate the inflation risk.

I started my professional programming career in the Windows 3.x days. Some things that come to mind:

* The web solved the software distribution problem. There were some pretty good tools for building GUI apps in the 90s but the tools for getting software to the customer sucked. Complex installers, no autoupdates, "DLL hell" incompatibilities.

* There never really were any great tools for building cross-platform GUIs. You built for Windows on x86, that was it. Widgets were shipped as binary COM components. Now you need to be on multiple OSes, multiple hardware architectures, and multiple form factors. VB wasn't going to give you that.

* Formatting text sucked. Actually, formatting in general sucked - the RAD GUI builders built awesome fixed-size dialogs, but now screens vary from watch-sized to wall-sized. Embedded HTML components really made layout easier... and once you start putting things in HTML, it tends to take over.

* All those pretty 3d effects in Win 95 UIs? Those were a bitch to get right. Hours of trial and error drawing extra lines of black and white and grey pixels. It looked good but it was a lot of effort that would have been better spent building real features.

This is a good explanation. It took using the "cheat buttons" for me to fully internalize the logic.

In this configuration, if you click "Hint" it will say there are no safe squares. If you click "Debug" you'll see they are both question marks. Therefore, whichever you click on will be safe (with a count of either 1 or 4) and the other is forced into being a mine.

The interesting question (if this were earlier in the game): when in this situation and you get to impose your will on which one is safe, what's the "best" one to pick?

You have to make a distinction between a person and a corporation. Now I feel I should say, I'm not in favor of the "Citizens United" ruling before I start down this path.

The mandated motivation for a corporation is to maximize share value for it's shareholders. That's it, as creepy as it is. CEO's (well "good" sociopathic ones) compartmentalize everyone's jobs so they only do the little bit of bad that they are comfortable with and can distance themselves from the corporate wrongdoings, as a whole.

A singular person, or even a small group of people, have entirely different dynamics and motivations and would, normally, never make these type of decisions themselves. Singularly, they wouldn't be able to run successful multinational, billion dollar corporations either.

It's somewhat unfair to look at a single person who works at one of these companies and say that they are the downfall of society anymore than you could point to a singular person in Roman history and say, "There. That guy. He caused the downfall."
Sounds like you probably weren't using computers back in the Win 9x days. For us who remember it, Windows 95 is synonymous with BSOD.
Thanks for sharing. You have goals similar to mine, including travel and music production.

Just curious, could you explain your motivation behind it? In my case, I was actually thinking about doing the opposite, because I rarely use cash and feel like I spend more than I should due to not seeing the actual money leaving the wallet.
This is lovely, many thanks for sharing. I am having a lot of fun with this & will most likely use this for some art related things in the future. I'd love to be able to export these & have the same view I have via the browser. Seems that exporting picture will give me some extra space on the right with different gray space etc. Still love it, many thanks.
How many consider the TV as being the second screen?
I found it insightful, because it goes on to discuss how C has had a huge effect on the programming model all the way from the processor to the compiler and it’s led to problems in performance and security. They suggest that it may be worthwhile designing or using a language that can better handle how processors are structured today.

I spent 25 years in bar and restaurant with almost half that time actually behind a bar. Alcohol does indeed grease the social skids. Sometimes positively and sometimes not so much. It all depends on who is doing the imbibing and the chemistry between the various parties. Bartenders are very much attuned to these dynamics...
I'm mostly pushing back against the idea of some lost golden age of UI design. The file explorer used in this example is almost the same a quarter of a century later. And some of its deficiencies have lasted a long time - it took a couple of decades for explorer to learn to show a unified list of files and directories sorted by modification time. And it still doesn't have an inlined tree view making the basic task of moving files between adjacent directories clunky.

At the same time, for all of its fashions and foibles, the one-app-a-time, direct-manipulating touchscreen UI has made computers more accessible to all sorts of people to whom 'the desktop metaphor' was and remains confusing and unintuitive.

I've been struggling with that question on `Ultra Violence` difficulty, where 4-6 are the norm and 1-3 are a breath of fresh air.

I've been preferring whichever will give me an open route to an unexplored area. I'll pack mines along the edges or against other mines if possible, as long as I have some path to new territory.

> The ellipsis hints that this button opens a dialog, instead of immediately executing an action.

That's not exactly what the ellipsis is intended to communicate.

Have you ever wondered why File/Open... has the ellipsis, but in a properly designed app, Help/About does not have it? Even though Help/About opens a dialog too?

The distinction is that the ellipsis indicates that a command will take some action after further user input. The user input may be anything like text entry, selecting from a list, or just a Yes/No or OK/Cancel confirmation. But the key point is that the command will do something after that user input (unless the user cancels).

An About box should not take any action or cause any change to the state of your document or system. It's just information displayed that the user can dismiss with the OK button or close icon. So it doesn't get the ellipsis.

Western philosophy starting from Ancient Greeks has offered a variety of coherent life philosophies that both help with untouched wounding and ego-striving. The books provide cheap and accessible salvation which is just not in demand by most people and it is quite sad.
All this means is that instead of people accidentally discovering the obscure behaviour as they do now (and then working out how to carefully tap out of it), they'll just never find it. That's certainly less annoying to me, who has never used any of these weird popup menus, but doesn't seem a massive improvement overall.
"Loneliness is a health threat in the western world, and the UK even has a dedicated minister to address the problem. How to solve it, of course, is a huge challenge, but encouraging people to get out and socialise over a few beers or a bottle of wine at the village pub may be a good place to start."

Proximity, unplanned encounters and the privacy to confide with someone have been identified as key factors in making friends as an adult.[cite] I find it unfortunate to read about the closing of so many neighborhood pubs in England over the past decade or so.
> Why is there no HTML tag for creating menu bar and nested dropdown menu?

because HTML was never designed to be a application interface, and I don't see a menu-bar nor dropdown as necessary for a document display.

What's needed for the web is a common and standarized (i.e., browser provided) library for application UI that's distinct from the existing HTML markup. They should not mix, and if you have a document (rather than a web-app), you use HTML, but if you intend to write an application UI, you would use that library.

I forsee something like WASM compiled QT or some such to be the beginnings of such an api.
Idea of an independent civil service (or justice system) is being threaten more generally recently. Countries that come to mind: US, Hungry, Poland, Turkey and recently also UK (Mr. Cummings, chief advisor to PM stating that UK civil service should be entirely abolished).
Intel and HP attempted to deliver what this paper advocates. They designed an entirely new processing element and compiler architecture that promised to deliver high performance with less complexity. It was called EPIC and manifested as Itanium. Billions of dollars and the best minds at the disposal of an industry wide consortium couldn't make it work; one year ago the last Itanium shipped. The market has spoken.

You can run unmodified, compiled OS/360 code from the 1960s on a z15 machine built this year. The market values the tools and code it has invested in far more than any idealized computing model you care to speculate about.

The flaws in contemporary CPUs that device manufacturers perpetrated on their customers for almost 20 years are not the fault of C and its users. They are the fault of reckless manufacturers that squandered their reputation in the name of performance and, ironically, helped perpetuate the lack of innovation in programming techniques called out in this paper.
I think this is important. I also don't think having 5 cent recycling deposits make sense anymore where recycling is mandatory in nyc, there's no reason for a financial incentive. There's got to be a better way to create demand for labor for the people resorting to this, also to just provide services to them with tax money, as opposed to this industry that's created around taking already sorted recyclables and re-appropriating them. The whole thing seems really inhumane and it's funded by the existence of the deposit tax.
I did. I get that computers back in the day crashed a lot. BSOD while playing C&C was my childhood.

But my point, again, is that computers crashing and UI design are two orthagonal issues.
This is stupidly complicated. Why not just an iff tag?
> I think when things get to the point where they taste as good/better than the product they're intended to replace, why not embrace them?

The simplest answer may be that the precautionary principle suggests that eating tried and true foods, rather than newer synthetics, is probably better for your health. Many nutrients are most bio-available in the dense animal products we have eaten for a very long time.

Why not eat pastured meat instead? If you eat pastured cow, you are supporting the ecosystem of cow (for its partial life) but also possums, raccoons, ducks, field mice, butterflies, snakes, birds, bees, and thousands of other insects that populate the fields of pasture. If you eat beef every day, you still eat less than 1 cow for the year. Pasture animals are regenerative and allow for other animals to co-exist without the horrifying bits that go into making row crops (The pesticides causing colony collapse disorder? It's not the cow's fault.) Herbicide and insecticide usage is also way higher.

So I don't think it's quite so ethical clear cut, but if you try to do a calculus, I think pastured mammals is some of the best, maybe followed by vegetarian-ish diets, maybe(?) followed by factory meat at the lowest rung.
One needs to form an experimental design with a ability to detect the challenge, understand the properties and come up with an appropriate computational solution to that challenge. This isn’t just for Machine Learning but for any kind of algorithm you develop.
The cheaper no-install/remote feature, regular subscription revenue model, and Agile dev cycle took precedence.

Even before all this happened I remember articles about software companies yearning/pleading for subscription revenue, but customers were not interested. The web allowed them to turn the tables on expectations.

A few advancements, such as excellent UI consistency were left behind though.
Ah, THREED.VBX, good times indeed.
(author of Ristretto here) Yeah, I'm surprised not enough people here are talking about Ristretto. It was actually designed with knowledge of the existing Go caches, to deal with their limitations -- based on multiple papers and Caffeine [1], popular in Java world. In particular, achieving higher hit ratios while avoiding contention caused by heavy concurrent access.

This is worth a read:

Nope, no thanks. You don't get to intrude on my privacy because you want to make it easier on you to catch some bad actor that is breaking the law.

For you gun owners out there, how would you like your concealed weapons tracked this way. F* that noise.
Are you able to understand and translate the content and context of client requirements?

Are you able to translate your understanding of client requirements into software and database designs that scale and adapt with time?

Are you able to add measurable value to your client's business by leveraging your technology skills?

Are you able to write code that is understandable and relatively bug-free?

Is your code easy to change?

Do you have a holistic understanding of the technology stack you are working on including the database platform, development platform, deployment platform?

If you do then you are doing significant work and are probably amongst some of the best in your field. It is not the label that matters when it comes to skill. It is the output that does.

That still seems a little too simple. How are they controlling for multiple people in a household from the same IP address? How are they capable of telling the same person watching TV is performing the activity on the smartphone?
Depends on the drug and the market. Not all drug have a free sample program, but yes, it can add up since they account for the full price, not cost of goods.

Personnel can be a big chunk as well, since the fully loaded cost of a sales rep can be $400k per year and for primary care drugs, it’s not unusual to have 1,000 reps.
Yeah, we already know that. He was talking about computers in general, not just the UI design.
They've still kept the functionality AFAIK - you could just long-touch for force touch menu. Instead of pressing hard, you're now pressing longer to invoke the 3D touch menu.

I know why Apple got rid of force touch - BOM cost. Not that I condone the concept of Force Touch, but some wizbang designer pitched to the management that hey "We could solve this using just the UI with long press, and save $$$ in LCD costs to put a force sensitive layer". That's exactly how this happened.

Edit: Just checked on iPhone 11 Pro - yup, just long touch an icon to popup a contextual menu which used to require pressing with force.
Imagine a retiree living in their own home sees a sudden increase in property tax bill due to the rise of the market prices in the neighborhood.
Without prop 13, many people in that scenario will be forced to move away from their own home.

The original idea of prop 13 is to protect home ownership. It sounds good but it is being applied to people that have “house” ownership not home ownership.
Prop 13 should really be changed such that only if a homeowner living in the same house could pay the tax derived from the purchase price. If you rent out the property, you should pay the tax derived market price. If the property is a vacation house and not the primary home, the owner should pay the tax derived from the market price.

Commercial properties should always be paying the market price.
Feel free to file an issue if that's a concern -- if enough people feel the same way we could provide an option to "synchronous consistency". It wasn't one in the use cases we looked at.
> Something npm doesn’t do, so not a great example.

Doesn't do anymore. It definitely used to, I'd estimate around 2014-2015.
Almost inevitably, these type of comments (about some recent date) are never specific.

On the upside, everyone agrees; but it's pointless.
I do - partially for experimental treatment of autoimmune conditions, but mostly just a way of life (no goal).

18h regularly, 24h maybe weekly, 36h occasionally. Nothing planned in advance. It's really not that complicated - remember the last time you delayed eating because it wasn't convenient? I just do that with less tolerance for what constititues "inconvenience" and greater tolerance of hunger.

Breakfast by eating to satiation, same as any other meal.
Doesn’t cost anything to make PowerPoint pitch decks. Doesn’t cost anything to write use-case documents. Doesn’t cost anything to throw a lead generation page up on GitHub. Costs a few bucks to get a domain name. Doesn’t cost anything to cold call 10 businesses every morning before you start coding.

I think this is a stepping stone entrepreneurs learn only after a few failures. My last startup went from 0-90k in 5 months with simple marketing. Having premade material to give out means the difference between a follow up to a cold call and never following up with them again.. I’ve had both happen, so I always spend an hour or two selling, then marketing before doing any kind of coding or other deeply technical work
That’s entirely believable for developed Asian nations like South Korea, Taiwan, Japan.

For developing countries, you can have very capable doctors, but limited access to technologies.
...how processors are structured today

But it admits that processors today are structured to look like processors of the mid-80s (even though they definitely aren't). Today's processors have lower levels than but those lower aren't intended to be accessed by ordinary programs using any language. Maybe that's a bad thing but we've migrated to a very different argument here.

Maybe, they're saying we could have processors which wouldn't emulate the PDP-11. Sure, maybe we could. Like say, Nvdia GPUs programmed using the cuda system, which is based on ... C++, which also "isn't a low level language".

I mean GPU definitely have emerged as alternate way to use the bizillion transistors of modern chips but broadly, I don't see this as invalidating C (or c++) as a next-step-up-from-assembly level of programming. I mean, the reality is C actually is used in all sorts of complicated memory spaces and chips, often mixed with assembler.

IE, the "not low level" claim still is kind of a troll imo.
Wait; what? If C is not a Low-Level Language, then what is a Low-Level Language?

"The features that led to these vulnerabilities, along with several others, were added to let C programmers continue to believe they were programming in a low-level language when this hasn't been the case for decades."

Now C is again the root of all evils...

But I'm afraid that's not right, all those CPU optimizations (branch predictions, speculative execution, caches, etc.) are not tied to any specific languages.

They have been designed to make existing programs run faster; if all our software stack was written in Java, Lisp or PHP, I think that on the hardware front, most of the same decisions would have been made.
It is not in an absolute sense. But it is economically fair otherwise you would likely not have bought the property.
