Google doesn't actually have many customer-facing product wins on the strength of their GUIs / UX to its credit, period.

Google search was minimalist. Android followed everyone else in the market, and hasn't iterated core UX much since. G Suite office apps were acquired, and mostly cloned Office online. Same with Gmail.

Maps is about the only heavily-used app, and I wouldn't call its design revolutionary (or even good).

Chrome is about the best example I can come up with, and it's mostly iterated and improved on the back end.

Maybe I'm missing something major? But it's not a market they compete in or are particularly good at.

(This isn't to say that the initial lift of desktop apps to the web wasn't a technical tour du force; just that blue sky GUIs have never been something they're known for)

Watching a video of something and using VR personally are two hugely different experiences.

If you're genuinely interested in forming an opinion, some of the larger computer stores will have the Oculus Quest available for customers to demo.
Actually, more specifically, I have a problem with:

> All that said, I see no problem with using a convenient designation to refer to a hypothetical author.

And that is -- it's not terribly convenient if it distracts the under-informed reader about the provenance of the source material.

In this specific case there's the insinuation of authority by proximity / familiarity.

While it's a convenient designation, continuing to imply the author of the primary source of the new testament was someone we can identify gives it more credibility than attributing the story to an unknown source, or an amalgam of sources.

Compare and contrast, say, Greensleeves -- a piece that everyone in the UK and AU recognises as indicating soft-serve ice cream is in the area, where the composer / author 's actual identity is at best secondary -- attributing a work of fiction to a (likely wrongly) named author grants credence that may be inappropriate.
Well, they are not functions and they are not macros. It seemed appropriate to overload the 'mixin' name, but it's not too late to find a better name.

Even if Beef supported class mixins, I would say "there's class mixins and method mixins". D does something similar with template mixins vs a mixin statement that compiles strings as code.
But this is being framed as cost saving.

Critical infrastructure? Sure, that makes sense. But I highly doubt there will be much cost savings.

Not to defend Boeing or the folks in these messages in any way, but as I understand it MCAS initially was making use of multiple sensors. It was changed at one point to only use 1[1]. It would be important to know the timing of these messages relative to the development.

Another _unverified_ thing I heard was that initially MCAS would only be able to issue a single nose down command, and was later modified to be able to issue multiple.

Yeah. Funny enough, if Apple had skipped OS X and gone directly to iOS, BeOS would have been a superior foundation. No uselessly mismatched security model or crusty legacy API baggage to clog up the new revolution in single-user always-online low-powered mobile devices.

Of course, that was in back in the days when an entire platform from hardware to userland could be exclusively optimized to utterly and comprehensively smash it in just one very specific and precisely targeted market. Which is, of course, exactly what the iPhone was.

Just as the first Apple Macintosh a decade earlier eschewed not only multi-user, multi-process, and even a kernel; every single bit and cycle its being being exclusive dedicated to delivering a revolutionary consumer UI experience instead!

In comparison, NeXTSTEP, which ultimately became iOS, is just one great huge glorious bodge. “Worse is Better” indeed!

..

Honesly, poor Be was just really unlucky in timing: a few years too late to usurp SGI; a few too early to take the vast online rich-content-streaming world all for its own. Just imagine… a BeOS-based smartphone hitting the global market in 2000, complete with live streaming AV media and conferencing from launch! And Oh!, how every Mac OS and Windows neckbeards would’ve screamed at that!:)

Absorption and emission are not the only two processes by which light can interact with matter, reflection is another. The argument is that if the material can't store the energy then you can't really call the event an absorption. Feynman diagrams aren't sequences of events so just because you see the photon coming to, disappearing, and then departing an electron doesn't mean it happens in that order.
However it happened, modularity is still a good thing. It allows multiple filesystems (and other things that aren't quite filesystems) to take advantage of the same functionality, even concurrently, instead of each reinventing a slightly different and likely inferior wheel. It should not be abandoned lightly. Is "modularity bad" really the hill you want to defend?

> Ignoring the medicine and medical aspect of suicide to focus purely on financial management, as so many in this thread suggest, will likely result in a sharp increase in suicidal completion.

This is not supported by anyone working within suicide prevention. Indeed, focussing on the medical model is rejected by any organisation working in suicide prevention, and they talk about the full range of bio-psycho-social factors involved in suicide.

It is simply incorrect to say that suicide is caused only by mental illness.
You're never going to get an accurate body core temperature based on a wrist measurement. It's just not physically possible. An external sensor elsewhere on the body would be needed.
That’s a great idea! How do you go about it?

Why not? There are quite a few companies working on these with some success.

> I think most people who have tried an APL derived language also agree.

That part I have some experience with, and I think that's not the case. I was taught APL (in a CS course) along with a hundred or so other students, and it was nearly universally disliked; IIRC, it only resonated with some of the EE people. The department's administration was even written in APL, and nobody wanted to touch it. After finishing my assignments, I've never wanted to look at it again. So I, for one, doubt the style is universally likable.

>Those bars and strip clubs already have plenty of CCTVs, you are being recorded. Police have body cams, cars have dash cams, almost every phone has a camera capable of taking video, the chance that you are being recorded if someone wants to is already very high.

>A glass cam will probably work out the same way CCTV has: people are worried about the potential for privacy abuse, but in the end these fears don’t come to pass.

The first two Cs in CCTV don't stand for instantly uploading everything to a 3rd party for analysis.

CCTV is fundamentally different than the "instantly send the data to a central server" model that currently dominates because CCTV is not reviewed except when it needs to be.
Technically, you can use Wayland.

What you cannot use is applications that use OpenGL or Vulkan acceleration. GBM is used for sharing buffers across APIs handled by GPU. If your Wayland clients use just shm to communicate with compositor, it will work.
If you have more than a handful of people that you wish to meaningfully connect with - facebook is a great tool. I know personally many people including myself that both use calls, emails, chat messages - and yes, facebook - all with the same people. They are just geared towards different kinds and modes of communication. The notion that I have to use phone exclusively to communicate with someone to call them "friends" seems very dated to me personally. It probably works for someone else. (But I mean the numbers show that a lot of people do indeed find facebook useful, it is not that popular for no reason.)

It's about the connection itself, it's about the energy and attention one puts into the relationship, not whether one allows oneself to use facebook for it or not.
You do realize that vaccines can be incredibly profitable in some cases? Pfizer’s Prenvar sold $5.8B in 2017. That easily exceeds many chronic treatments.

And I would argue that an AIDS vaccine, like Gilead’s cure for HCV, could be priced quite aggressively.

A chronic treatment does not suggest a continued stream of revenue as competitors often enter the market with 2nd generation products.

One subtle feature of oK is that it supports the creation of mutable closures. "f.d", where "f" is a function and "d" is some dictionary, will attach the dictionary to the function as if it were the global scope. You can then later use ".f" to extract that dictionary from a function to inspect it. This mechanism allows you to violate referential transparency (which is why Arthur doesn't like it), but you get a powerful mechanism for sandboxing code which can also permit writing code in an "OOP" style, if desired. Here's the feature in action:

f:{a+::x}.[a:10]
{[x]a::.`a+x}
f 30
40
f 30
70
f 30
100
.f
[a:100]

Naturally, if you have not explicitly re-bound the closure of a function, .f gives you access to that function's natural scope:

a:99
99
b:"text"
"text"
.{}
[prm:{[x]{[x]$[x;,/x ,''o'x ^/:x;,x]}@$[-8>@x;!x;x]};in:{[x;y]~^y?x};a:99;b:"text"]

Nifty, eh?

oK also supports unlimited lexical closure, which is a bit unusual among K interpreters; usually they either eschew closure entirely for simplicity or (as in k3) allow functions to close over a single scope.
You're company decided to give you a pay cut. They wrapped that present around reasons like a buy out, but that's what they did. Who cares if it's your new management or old management, it's your employer and that was what they chose to do.

One thing that takes away from programming languages is not having code samples on the index. I think this lets someone know immediately if it's interesting to them or not. Show a sample of code with the console output or a screenshot of an UI from the code. I think Racket had it right ages back. They would show everything from a web server, to other things. This is what major programming languages (with some exceptions) basically do and it gives a developer more information than any amount of marketing speak.

That said, I had to dig in the documentation to find code, and it didn't seem as obvious cause the syntax is definitely different from what I'm used to and there's weak syntax highlighting.
Overcoming Pair-Formance Anxiety
If your language allows mutation:

1. Immutable first.
2. Data structures should use partial copying [1].
3. Data structures should be lazy by default.
4. When you've profiled a bottleneck, and identified memory allocation and copying as the bottleneck culprit, then use a mutable data structure internal to the operation (copy your lazy immutable data structure once into the mutable one, taking only the portion of your lazy structure that you need, operate on the mutable structure in place, then return an immutable, lazy copy of that structure out of your operation.

This will isolate the need for mutation reasoning to performance critical parts of your application/library, and let you still reason about the rest of your program with referential integrity, while avoiding performance bottlenecks.

Never use a mutable structure in a mutable reference at the same time. You don't need both.

> Curiously enough some (or many?) countries have implemented a law requiring blank CD-R disks and USB thumb drives sellers to pay fixed royalty to a local copyright association (an MPAA-like entity) for every blank disk they sell because people can potentially use the disks to pirate copyrighted works.

We have that over here. Said taxes also apply to hard drives, iPhones internal storage, etc

BUT it isn't meant to compensate for illegal downloads (the music & film industry tried, but I believe it was the EU that told them that was illegal). It's supposed to compensate for the supposed loss occurred from people's right to make private copies of legally obtained copyrighted materials.

It's whacked and non-sensical, but still. We are after all the country where you have to pay artists copyright associations for playing copyleft music in your shop.
So maybe we should define a DNS SRV record (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2782) for WWW, and work to get the browsers using it?

CCTV footage wasn’t uploaded for everyone to see and comment on. It is usually closed to owners of them, and authorities who have reason to use it for investigation of a crime.

Using the “conspiracy theorist” argument is a typical way of trying to put a negative label on a group of people you disagree with these days. 3.9 million results doesn’t sound like a group of 10 mentally unsound people spewing a BS conspiracy. It provides evidence that a large portion of people don’t agree with the tech.

That has me wondering how much average height and square-cube law implications like surface area ratio changing what they consider "the norm" has to do with it.

BMI as a health metric is downright lazy mathematically in that it doesn't use a cubic portion and thus gives more undue "slack" in its judgement for shorter and less for taller.

I am uncertain what aspect if any dominates. It could be that without sufficent HVAC exposure the local climate causes the body to adapt and dominate. Granted not allowing that adaptation may not just be "softness" and "disconnection from nature from arrogance". Apparently according to some accounts colonialists in the tropic were looked upon by natives as fools and lunatics for being physically active during the hot and bright sun instead of resting then and saving activity for when it is cooler.

It was not in the box. Back then, it was still quite difficult to get a hold on an actual R3 box here in Europe. There was 1 official reseller here in the Netherlands and I actually bought their official demo machine: the famous first dual processor Abit BP6 with 2x 400Mhz Celeron processors. When picking it up in their office I spotted the poster and asked if I may have it. Still got a T-Shirt and a hat too ;-).
Yet another user testimony: For simple volumes and snapshots at home I switched from ZFS to BTRFS because ZFS on Fedora was giving me too many issues. It simply wasn't integrated well enough into the system. Had nothing to do with the ZFS FS implementation, merely the packaging.

Either way, BTRFS works for everything I need it to do and it's native.
I came to the same conclusion: a massive flat text file in emacs. I was using orgmode for a bit, but it was too convoluted. I have a very simple markup to identify TODO items with [ ], and I nest contiguous items with { }, making it easy to navigate chunks with emacs. I then have 3 keyboard macros to mark/unmark and move the TODO items into a DONE section. It's simple enough I can recreate the system from scratch in a few minutes when I'm at a new terminal.
