The legacy of their work is tainted by their person. Two things are independently true:

1) Asimov was a prolific writer who authored many works that were fundamental in shaping science fiction into what we know it as today

2) Asimov sexually assaulted women on a regular basis

But the way people see the first point will be through the lens of the second.
Really cool!

I sometimes find it amazing that we do computer science for decades now, but there is still a lot of room to improve very basic things.
Sure. Math based abstractions are non-leaky. This is one of the main thing FP people rave about. Eg. map works without bias on all functors regardless whether the concrete thing is a list or a tree or an IO action, etc...
Also don't forget the search warrant. I think this is what most closely matches the digital variant.
From an investment valuation point of view, any company whose shares are being traded at more than say 12 to 15 x dividend payments has people owning shares who are hoping that they will find an even bigger fool to pay for their shares than they did.

Just have a look at the SEC filings for whichever companies you are interested in and see for yourself. You won't have to look for long.

Kind of tangential but I really appreciate seeing this cross inspiration of Elixir and Ruby. Ruby taking inspiration from the pattern matching and pin operator of Elixir, and Elixir taking the initial direction from Ruby. I look forward to the future developments of both.
Lacking clarity is a good word for it, it was my feeling as well, but I've not used Ruby extensively. My feeling trying to hack existing Ruby code was always that Ruby favoured the arcane abit too much. This is from a perspective of me not bothering to learn Ruby at all. I remember thinking the same about C and Python before I bothered learning them.

I guess that feeling is always present when you try languages that are new, or our ignorance of pattern matching/Ruby?
Oh yeah Norton Commander, that brings back memories!

I've also used Total Commander for a while. I haven't seen any directory or file manager that is better.
For me it's the definition of complexity. Something that has many parts is complex.

If I want to dig into "how my angular app works", I can't, because I cannot browse 2500 npm packages on github to find out what they are doing. Even answering the question "does my app actually require this dependency" is completely impractical.
A quick search for "send letter online" shows there are at least 2 or 3 companies that offer this currently.

Color management is a really wild aspect of software development.

It’s now almost ubiquitous, but it used to be something that was downright miraculous.

ColorSync was cool. The group I lead actually developed our own CM engine, so I am quite aware of the types of challenges (and rewards) involved.
Groovy absolutely. Java is .... Java.
It's not a bad thing. I have an Android and sometimes it's easy to miss out and allow push notifications on a website. Next thing you know, you're getting bombarded with push notifications about "12 things cats like to do in spare time" . It's not exactly straightforward to revoke a website's push notification authorization either and you need to go into settings to do that.

Yeah, love this! I hate when I can't figure out what a software or service does from their homepage.

Looking at oxide.computer... man... what DO they do? Do they sell servers?

My other pet peeve for these kind of websites is when the landing page is full of just release notes and links to tangentially related articles news articles and talks about the product, and it takes me 10 minutes to figure out where I can actually read about what the heck product I'm even looking at, and why I would use it over other products in its class.

This XKCD about uni websites gives the general gist of what I'm talking about https://xkcd.com/773/

Some Github repos are also awful. The README should summarize what the product is or link to a website that does.

The Kotlin and Elm websites are pretty good:
https://kotlinlang.org/
https://elm-lang.org/

It's hard to find some really terrible ones right now...

Apache products tend to take some effort to decipher what it is they even do or how they'd be used. They have a nice summary description like the start of a man page, but that's about it.
https://ant.apache.org/
https://hadoop.apache.org/

The GitHub landing page is surprisingly worse than you'd expect. It's not terrible... but check it out in Incognito / Private Window and imagine you'd never heard of GitHub:
https://github.com/

Compare the above, with how cleanly and clearly Travis-CI manages to express what it does, and why you would use them, along with a useful screenshot of what the UI looks like right near the top of the page, so you can get an idea of what it would be like to use in practice:

> The A to Z in the Amazon logo hurts AWS because big companies are worried Amazon will compete with them (if they don’t already) and will use AWS data and information against those companies.

This always had a vibe of a conspiracy theory to me. If this were to ever happen and it came out, AWS would be screwed for all eternity. You just need one disgruntled employee to keep a screenshot of their auditing logs to make all hell break loose. I think most companies who actually consider this to be part of their threat model are full of themselves to actually think that Amazon would do this to their brand and the trust associated with it for the benefit of looking into systems that most likely don't contain information that's as interesting as company execs and engineers think.

I once knew someone who forbid his employees to use Google because he said that Google would copy his ideas and that his employees would leak them if they even searched for related key words.

> gravity at high energies

Not a physicist so excuse the ignorance, but do we understand gravity at all?

I mean afaik we can observe and predict it's behaviors but do we understand what underlying force causes it, and if it potentially has a counter force.
The entire point of hydraulic hydro is that energy capacity scales by r^4 (dimensions of the piston + height within the hole). It is possible to just carve out the piston head from existing rock with wire saws. Systems with 1.6TWh storage capacity are not impossible.
There is a solution for osteoarthritis, joint degeneration - it's by injecting your bone marrow, stem cells into the joint. A company in the US, Regenexx, has been doing research on stem cell treatments for 18 years now. Other places in the world have been doing stem cell research for 30+ years, it just hasn't become mainstream or widespread yet - so the knowledge isn't distributed well yet.

> His female characters might as well have been written by an adolescent.

All of Asimov’s characters are broadly drawn embodiments of simple concepts; to the extent his stories have depth it comes from the interaction of those simple characters with each other an the constructed environment, but from subtly drawn, realistic characterization.

This is very much not limited to female characters.

The benefit of a carbon tax is that you can introduce it immediately, provided that there's enough political will. If the carbon tax is sufficiently high I'm convinced there can be a very big net benefit.

The approach from the article will take many years to provide any benefits, assuming

1) they get the efficiency increase they're aiming for

2) they can roll out these new & better plants on a large enough scale to make a difference

3) that the mass-introduction of these new plants doesn't have any unforeseen side-effects
IIRC the main distinguishing feature of ruby blocks from regular anonymous functions is that you can break out of a containing scope from within them.
The YF-23 and X-32 were losing competitors in a program that went ahead, though.

The entire concept of high altitude supersonic nuclear bombers died, and with it the idea that you’d need/be able to intercept them. The UK offered Canada the English Electric Lightning instead of the Arrow - an aircraft that would do Mach 2 in level flight but only had a combat range of 135 miles (and that’s an F.6 with ventral and over-wing fuel tanks). 15 years after the Arrow was cancelled (4 years after the B-58 was retired, 18 years before the Lightning was retired but around the same time the RAF began phasing it out of service), the AGM-86 ALCM, with a range of 1500+ miles, went into development - neither aircraft would have been able to reach, never mind attack, the launch platform for those.

The successor to bombers like the B-58 and Valkyrie are mostly ICBMs/SLBMs but also things like the B-1B (launching stand-off missiles) and B-2. As the sibling points out, the Arrow didn’t have the range, RADAR or missile technology to counter those, and couldn’t use its few advantages (speed and altitude) that it would have cost a fortune to develop.
> so you need to have a depth map to recover the true colors

Isn't the blue shift of a known color already a measure of the amount of water between the object and the camera- and therefore its distance? Knowing the true color of a fish, a seaweed or the sand isn't already enough to infer distances and color-correct?
> I've also used Total Commander for a while. I haven't seen any directory or file manager that is better.

Far Manager is better, of course :)
As someone who worked in the very same municipality... one word; bureaucracy.

More specific reasons were. Legal boundaries between ownership and taxpayer money separation. Of cause GDPR is also a big obstacle in joining forces on this scale.

I worked on a project which tried to make a joined venture between several municipalities. I'm not sure if that partnership has ended yet, but overall you could only progress if there were people on both sides collaborating with a "better ask forgiveness, than permission" mindset. As soon as the municipality lawyers or their security officers got involved, all progress stopped immediately.

Agreed: I was hoping for a succinct description of the product, but only found empty marketting words. I am not yet interested in who uses the product, but in what the product is. Don't try to tell me it will change my life before I actually know what it is.

Granted, I only skimmed the page, and the website made the experience painful, as it is full of fade—in animations, so I felt like I was scrolling an empty wwbsite (mobile Firefox). The experience was annoying, so I left.

I would likely have stopped scrolling had I encountered a screenshot or a relevant section title. I feel websites like this are super common nowadays, and generic enough to be applied to many different products.
Unless I remember it incorrectly, GDPR doesn't even apply to websites that don't target EU citizens; so it really doesn't affect US websites that are clearly aimed primarily at the USA, just because some EU citizen might use it as well.

And if a foreign website wants to expand into the european market, then yes, no matter its country of origin, it will have to follow EU rules.

So, in conclusion, geoblocking the EU is just plain stupid.

Is this not a standard tactic for moving the bar of what's acceptable? Similar to the San Bernardino case (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93Apple_encryption_d...), it makes sense for LE/Government to cherry-pick cases with defendants who have committed terrible crimes to create precedent for their new methods, as it's harder politically to take a position "defending" them. Defence of holistic rights can be painted as defence of a terrorist/racist/paedophile etc to score points.
People do not protect harassers. People protect their own jobs and status. Let someone unimportant to have the same behaviour and it will land in prison.
It is the system that rewards the people protecting the harassers. Think about Human Resources in your company. Do they work for the employees, for the company or for upper management? I have seen upper management abusing their positions while damaging people and projects alike. And Human Resources have always protected them. The few times that is not like that, the person that tries to fix the situation get silently fired.
We should request from people to NOT protect famous/important/rich harassers. But, we also need to change the system to make sure that they are not protected by people looking for a reward. Without changing the system we are doomed to continue suffering these behaviours.
Great list.

Not there with free consumer Google products. Their enterprise level GCP support is pretty much the same as the other providers.
You're mistaken if you think Microsoft doesn't compete directly with its partners.
If anything, they are very sneaky how they do it, every ISV knows and yet still collaborates with them.

SharePoint improvements have been built and incorporated out of the box because/thanks to ISV's, Flow (now PowerAutomate) is a direct inspiration and competition from one of MS historical partners in the SharePoint space called Nintex.

They absolutely compete, they absolutely steal ideas and they do so by getting their partners to willingly show them what they are working on.
For any ISV worth their salt in the MS world, they know this and hopefully they have a plan for when that ultimately happens.

The one thing that Microsoft keeps focusing on is IT related stuff, whether it's software or hardware, it's still in the IT realm 90% of the time.
On the other hand as you pointed out yourself, Amazon does everything and doesn't think twice to enter a new market if it thinks it can aggressively compete and gain a significant market share.

Similarly, both Amazon and Google do not have an engrained culture of working with partners the same way that Microsoft does, they do work with some don't get me wrong, but it's nowhere near what Microsoft does and how it behaves.
It's no surprise that the Co-Sell program at Microsoft is so successful, it's pushed by the Higher ups and all the way down to the field sales people live and breathe it.
Google is trying to do something similar but you can tell (if you work or have worked with both sides) that the google side doesn't care as much as Microsoft.
Even english has some borrowed expressions like "à la" that can are more correctly written with non-ascii characters, so not even english is really safe, if you want to be a bit fancy about it.

As in not phasing out products? That's more of a problem with Google than GCP itself.

GCP has its problems (heard bad things about CloudSQL support for Postgres), but it does seem to be willing to innovate when it sees an opportunity for it.

My point is about AWS being reluctant to embrace new technologies that could damage the ones it's deeply invested in.
See Athena vs Redshift or Kubernetes vs ECS (the latter having much better support). That's what I meant by "Kodak moment".

> Self preservation is a strong motivator, perhaps the strongest in a business environment.

And it's the most bullshit one. Outsourcing the risk does not mean avoiding it, it means however putting it out of control.

This is a typical manager bullshit attitude "nobody got fired to buy IBM" that generally lead to adopt unadapted, bloated, overpriced solutions to trivial problems. Just because they do not have the balls to do things properly.

Running out of its responsibilities should be a criteria to get fired when things go badly wrong.

The outsource of the 737 MAX MCAS code to India today is a perfect example of that
I’m in Europe on vacation, and while GDPR seems to be a good thing, there is nothing more annoying than a cookie policy pop up for every single site you visit. I know what cookies are. I know how they are used. I don’t need a reminder every time I visit a site. I think they way over shot their goal there.

Walmart categorically refuses to buy anything that runs on Amazon simply because amazon competes with walmart directly in retail.

> In 1920 records were kept about beeing a jew. It was perfectly ok, no harm done, some record no one cared about. In 1942 those records became mortal

As a legacy of this, the US government doesn't count Jews in the census. (And, to preserve nondiscrimination values, doesn't count other religious denominations either.)

Interestingly, the census does enthusiastically collect race data on everyone. This is logically incoherent; racial groups (such as the Jews, actually) are at least as much a natural target of extermination efforts as religious groups.

Oof, that recipe cited, looks so much like the pattern that can occur when a comsultant comes in to build a shiny new workflow based around IT. I may have even have been guilty myself in years gone by.
Interesting this is coming from Intel.

Considering 14nm is nearly 1 year late, and 10nm is nearly 3-4 years late depending on which schedule you looked at. Especially when you consider the absolute majority of shipment from Intel in 2020 will still not be on 10nm. Majority of the Server and Desktop Roadmap, as well as H Series Laptop are still on 14++++.

Did they just restart their Moore's Law counter in 2020?

And for anyone reading and watching the tech space for the past decades, you might notice the sudden increase in Intel's article, information leaks as well as PR pieces in the past 12 months. Just when AMD are doing well. I am not entirely sure this is coincidence.
