There are probably use cases where core language features like "highly concurrent/distributed by default" or "highly safe low-level operations" are worth the risk, but in general this is my answer too. I just finished a 2-year modern Java/Angular 2 project, and it was a pretty solid stack. Using Kotlin on the back end would have eliminated a significant number of the bugs we ran into (so many null pointers), along with reducing huge amounts of boilerplate and duplication.

The number of available libraries is ridiculous thanks to Java interop. Compare this with an Elixir project some of my coworkers did. They ended up having to write their own message bus client library because one didn't exist yet. That sucked up a huge amount of dev time that could've been used to actually make their product.
>There is so much beauty in those screenshots. The more technology advances, the more elegant old machines appear.

I believe there is a devolutionary effect in technology, it has been observed multiple times, which can be summarily described such that even though new technology supplants older tech, older tech still works: this serves only to frustrate the kids into making newer tech/redefining work.

Old machines don't really become less useful: the users needs change.

We can learn things from old, perfectly working tech. But around the edges of the zeitgeist, a lot of great old well worked and worn things get forgotten in the rush to new shine ..
You say "obviously irrelevant criterion"

Data says criterion is an eigenvalue and no matter how hard amazon tried to blind the solution to that eigenvalue, the ML system kept finding ways to infer it because it was that strongly correlated with the fitness function.

This is the difference between political newspeak '''bias''' and actual bias. Amazon scrapped the model despite it performing just fine and being bias-free, because it kept finding ways to discriminate on a protected attribute which is a PR nightmare in the age of political outrage cancel culture. It's fine to explicitly decide that some attributes should not be discriminated upon, but this comes with a cost either in terms of model utility or in terms of discrimination against other demographics. There's no way around this. In designing operational decision making systems, one must explicitly choose a victim demographic or not to implement the system at all. There's no everyone-wins scenario.

The harm of the newspeak version of '''bias''' is that it misleads people into thinking that making system inputs uniform somehow makes it bias-free when the opposite is typically true. Worse, it creates the impression that some kind of magical bias-free system can exist where everyone is treated fairly, even though we've formally demonstrated that to be false.

No amount of white-boxing or model transparency will get around this trilemma. The sooner the industry comes to grips with it and learns to explicitly wield it when required, the better.

One reason for this pattern is classism: the novelties of the upper classes are held up as glamorous and even virtuous, and that goes away when something is mass-marketed and becomes popular among the lower classes. Eventually, one might even hear words like "disgusting" and "poison" used to describe something that was once considered perfectly wholesome.

It’s probably worth learning some AI so you know what “AI” really is (it’s not magic) even if you don’t use it - it can help cut some of the hype you hear. I recommend fast.ai for that.

If you know JavaScript and want to make mobile apps, give React Native a try! It’s a good choice for most business apps, and even some games.
> "The GPL comes with obligations"

The GPL does not impose any obligations unless the user attempts to redistribute the work that is GPLed, which most users don't.

Ah, I see that Linus hasn't strayed too far from his inner curmudgeon...

Even though he can be pithy, he's usually hitting the nail squarely on the head.

I don't play at this level of things, but it's a fascinating conversation. Even if we don't write low-level code, it doesn't hurt at all to understand what's going on behind the curtain.
Honestly, still my favorite web framework.
I guess the worst-case reference is probably running those apps under x86 emulation? I tried out Teams on a Surface Pro X and it was pretty dreadful
SwiftUI. I think Apple will put a lot of effort into it to be on the same level with UIKit. SwiftUI makes developing UI easier because it is declarative just like React Native and it takes less time to build your typical CRUD app on the apple platform.
When testing with glibc, I got further improvements when I used echo instead of stdout.write, and also even more with

You completely misunderstood Damore.

First of “neurotic” is a psychological term. He was using it in the scientific way, not the colloquial way.

Second, the point is not that all women cannot be programmers. It’s the fact that if the goal is to increase the number of female programmers, you need to change the nature of programming to make it more appealing to the average female. There will always be brilliant female programmers, I’ve worked with many that are better than I ever will be and I admire and learn from them every day. And there will always be women that can thrive in make-dominated areas because of their internal make-up.

But you will never get complete 50/50 gender equity until you change the nature of the job so that the average female will be more interested. That’s the point Damore was making. By making the nature of programming more appealing to more females by making the job in grain with what scientific research says are the differences between men and women, that’s how you fairly increase the number of women without biasing against men.

It's definitely not true that no one is hiring Rust or Go. It probably is true it'll be more likely at a startup, but larger scale operations could easily be using either at this point.

It depends a lot what kind of programming job you're looking for.

Personally, I think any programmer would learn something valuable by playing around with Rust specifically. But that's just my 2¢.
No, pick one up and notice how it comes with exercises and how there are always more than a single core idea and it's more like 4-7 concepts layered out in chapters. It's more structured than just restating.
Perhaps outside of Norway is differe, because people are definitely hiring for things like Go, and I bet Rust will be next.

I noticed in the screenshots that KeePassXC can show TOTP for an entry. Doesn't it limit the usefulness of a TOTP, if both the password and the TOTP seed are stored in the same location? Or am I missing something?
Yes, the consulting agencies or headhunters do just that. They do the day to day work of talking to hiring managers. Then they take their cut either when they place someone full-time or take a cut out of the hourly consulting rate.

It varies from place to place, but in the NYC metro area it is common for companies to only staff up through agencies so there is no chance to go directly to companies unless you know someone inside the company already.
A market analysis measures the market, i.e. $$$, not the user base. Which part of the report is on the userbase?
- People will still talk about the ending of Moore's Law, while it still actually continues throughout the decade

- Facebook will be the first to market with a consumer friendly successful AR device. But Apple and Google will be more successful, due to their tie in with mobile operating systems. First successful consumer AR headsets will be phone accessories like Apple Watch
- AR gaming, maybe connected to Desktop PCs, will be successful once a company makes a AR headset with good input (allowing for BeatSaber in AR)

- VR/AR entertainment will be larger than game console industry. Mobile games still massively larger than all others.
- Console industry and PlayStation/Xbox devices will decline, as anything single screen based can be streamed for the same experience
- Google will continue to develop and invest in Stadia, slowly increasing its market share

- Valve will finally make 'Steam Machines' running Linux a reality, selling them as primarily for VR (with included headset).

- WebAssembly becomes the main way to deliver all apps - native and browser based. Because of this difference between operating systems becomes less important. Google transitions Android to Fuchsia on some new devices
- Rust will continue to continue to rise in popularity as the main language for systems / server / game development

- SpaceX's Starlink works, helping to bring total internet access of the world up to 95%. Other LEO satellites launch mid decade from an alliance of companies to compete. SpaceX's Starship reaches Mars - might transport people depending on space's health risk to humans
- Starlink /Loon / Wifi access disrupt mobile carriers

- Man made climate change will still be debated the same - with minor change in public perception towards believing in it. Geoengineering will have some success and be seen as a viable solution at the end of the decade

Cryptocurrency will be a larger component of the world financial systems, but will still not take off in any way with the general public. Still a niche store of value. By the end of the decade decentralized block chain companies will begin to take off

Instagram will make more revenue for Facebook than the Facebook app

Driverless taxi services are mainstream in major cities by the end of decade

Cloud: AWS will remain 1, Azure 2, Google a more distant 3rd.

Deep learning tools will be a more common part of IDEs and productivity tools.
Accessible Deep learning tools for amateur creators to create visual effects equal to blockbuster movies. Tech like 'De-aging' will be basically free to add to any video

> Under EU law, sound recordings are covered by copyright for the first 50 calendar years after they were made – unless they have been “lawfully communicated to the public”, in which case the copyright term extends a further 20 years.

So it's not a trick to extend the copyright. You can imagine that the copyright last 70 years, but you can loose it after 20 years before if they don't do anything. So they do something to ensure the full length.

I mean, paravirtualization is precisely when a kernel communicates with the hypervisor. Dunno however how scheduling factors into it—I was under the impression that VMs are treated much like userland programs. I.e. would similarly be scheduled off sooner or later.
Hey!

I got things i could see that could improve this greatly:

- have a dot format (graphviz) importer (and maybe exporter), something simple to allow people to programmatically import/update their existing architecture.

- alternatively have a json format, same thing (versioning, hand update, generation etc)

- allow with a shortcut (alt key, whatever) to draw links between objects directly. Creating links is tedious right now.

I will post more as i'm working with your tool to represent our system :)

With the SunRays you’d login to everything, pull your card and your session and applications would still be running on the Solaris server in basement. Put the card back in and your session and applications would be right back to where you were. So unless applications automatically log you out after some time, there would be no reason to log in again.

Sure you’d still not have SSO, but you could just let everything running, logged in, in your session on the server.

The linear presentation of audio or video is inefficient because it is tedious to refer back in order to recover a train of thought or search for previous material.

Some MOOC courses are given primarily by video lectures with a side-by-side transcript. I can read faster than the audio, even with the audio set to 1.5 X speed. It's also easier to skip back and re-scan the transcript. Reading the transcript at the same time as listening to the audio enhances retention.
It's somewhat curious to me that neither she not Google are spelling out exactly what was changed in the code.

The "policy notifier" existed already as an internal use Chrome plugin. It apparently had a list of sites that would merit it popping a policy reminder.

So, she clearly mapped a policy reminder for that website. But, elsewhere in this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21961447) it's suggested that she also made a special rule to show it every time for that site, where other sites would only show it on first visit.
The satellite observation graph does not even give a reason to think there is a linear upward trend at all.

However, despite valid points about the miscalibration of the models for the surface anomaly graph (those models overpredict effect on anomaly), the observed data still do _obviously_ support a strong positive linear effect in raising temperature over the past 20 years.

It may be that climate models are involving nonlinear effects that experience difficult to explain lags in the real atmosphere. But either way I’d say the dramatic _trend_ in the observations is the most salient thing, and the 95% envelope is really not too important for the model’s inference goals.

I’d like to see more Bayesian models applied to this.
+1 this is something new! Thanks!

I'm dubious but let's grant it for the sake of discussion.

So what? I mean that's terrific if reading Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" straightens one out or whatever but that doesn't invalidate the benefits some other person gets from, say, "The Secret", does it?
This is a good observation. I think that “it works but we don’t know why” is appealing to a small slice of well-educated people who are comfortable with complexity and the limits of knowledge, but otherwise off-putting.

For most people I think that “it works but we don’t know why,” translates to “it doesn’t really work.” Thus a fake explanation adds credibility and believability. And if it does work, then people feel reassured and confident in the fake explanation.

It’s all pretty tricky human psychology though.

I think the problem with all these analyses is that yes, all models are wrong, but some are useful. We spent trillions and totally transformed our society in the 20th century, not really based on much sound economic analysis (and certainly not because it was the cheapest thing we could have done), because the economy serves human society and not the other way around. Of course it’s cheaper to do nothing about the externality of climate change, but it doesn’t do the economy or us any good to ignore it. And a climate model is just a discussion point about the uncertainty we’re introducing to our future prosperity - what might happen, how bad could it be?

Indeed. Return from the Stars by Stanisław Lem was published in 1961.
It's approximately true.

Heated solids will emit the same overall spectrum, but with some gaps. Those gaps can be used to identify the substances.

The statement is more true for holes. If you heat the hole walls, it tends not to have the gaps (the deeper the hole, the less visible the gaps).
