The greatest weakness of the XMPP is... it's main advantage - it's extensibility. Because of that, which you can "pick and choose", it's more difficult to offer "consistent IM solution" because there is no one party/company that offer complete environment (server + clients for all platforms).

XMPP evolves and is developed by volunteers (and developers contributing to XMPP software) and there has been a lot of work done to improve it (some say "catch up with IM landscape"): chat synchronisation (same conversation in all clients), E2E encryption (OMEMO), Audio/Video Calls (with Jingle), improvements on mobile (push) and groupchat (persistent membership / MIX).

Surprisingly enough, XMPP is quite popular and there is a lot of deployments but... XMPP is not exposed or advertised as being used, so you may be using XMPP without even realising it.

(sorry if this is a bit vague but I'm not sure I can give more details as I'm involved with one XMPP project)
The comment was to lightheartedly point out the incorrect doom and gloom predictions over the last 100 years, where people have been predicting that we're going to run out of oil "soon." Now we have so much we can't get rid of it.

Last year I played Final Fantasy XV coop with my friend. This game is a part of Nvidia's The Way It's Meant to Played, there's even Nvidia logo on the start screen. I had a lot of crashes on my GTX 960. Almost no problem on Radeon (although multiplayer is quite bugged-ridden there).

Sometimes official support tells nothing about runtime quality.

This appears to be untrue. [1, 2] It seems that embed views count, except possibly where autoplay is enabled (presumably because the video might be shown when no one is watching).

Depends on the person, and how they avoid working.

I can only speak to my personal observations.

There's the people who never get a job as an adult and so they never move out of mom and dad's house. Mom and/or dad end up supporting them until their deaths. I asked a guy I know whose son is 37, living with him, and doesn't have a job and hasn't had one in decades (and never worked full time) why he allows that sort of arrangement. He said "because I know he's got a safe place to sleep and something to eat."

There's people who have a kid or two and live off child support. In some states having a one night stand that produces a child with someone who has a salary of ~$120,000 is more lucrative than going to college and working the median salary for a college graduate. Even rape victims owe child support. There's two victims here, the person paying and the child(ren) who exist solely as a paycheck.

There's the related "bait and switch spouse," that's when someone, upon marriage (or cohabitation), just quits their job (or gets fired) and unilaterally decides they don't want to get another. This, of course, was their plan from the start. They may make the motions of trying to get a job to make it look like they are trying to work to their spouse, but the goal is to not work. They will ride this out as long as the spouse will put up with it, which can be decades. This is what my dad did, he basically worked for a couple weeks of my parents marriage and my mom has been footing the bill for him in the 4 decades since (and, no, he never took care of the housework or childrearing or anything like that).

Then, finally, we have the fake disability people. Claim you can't work due to pain, depression, anxiety, migraines, etc. Anything that's a subjective diagnosis. Establish a paper trail, then apply for disability. It really helps if you are in one of the above categories while doing this, because you have a history of "not being able to work" for the disability claim.
Why do you think cruise ships are catastrophic?

Before the virus hit, they seemed quite popular with paying customers and people were signing up to work for them voluntarily.

You might not like it, but that doesn't make the business catastrophic. (I'm not really in the market for a cruise either.)

(The main way you could help cruise ship employees would be to give them better outside options. Eg by opening up migration to rich countries more. Or by otherwise improving the economy of the places they hail from.)

Good thing search engines generally support a more machine-centric process for communicating intent. Try searching for "shirt -stripes".

To be devils advocate, I've seen many "anit-superheros" of maintainability do months of work and not end up with an objectively "better" body of code. Often it's just different, and sometimes slower hard harder to extend due to premature abstraction.

There isn't an easy answer here, but incentivizing speed of iteration (aka shipping) has several benefits, both to getting value to customers as well as to architecture and maintainability of the code.
I had a complication with my vision where I could have become blind, and was in the same position as you are. There are blind engineers, and compared to 15 years ago, there are many highly configurable and powerful tools at a blind engineer's disposal. After doing some research, I walked away slightly relieved at what options were available. I'm just posting this to give you a bit of hope.

I highly suggest documenting your condition, its progression and your eventual disability, and getting your disability status recognized by the government as soon as you can. Navigating social services and the ADA is a skill in itself.
Thanks man, I'll be sure to recommend it to friends after I give it a good read :)
I spent about 7-8 years developing on OS/2.

It lent itself to being tinkered and tailored in a much more developer-friendly way than most OSes. The rexx scripting was pervasive. There were meaningful file object attributes that could be extended and used per app. The SOM model was a bit clunky but very powerful (I went on to work with its designer later in my career). It had a bunch of powerful compilers that left all the Windows competitors for dust.

And of course it looked great for a windowed GUI at the time.
For a professional procrastinator, bargaining to defer an onerous task will often include doing less onerous tasks that are more often overlooked.

There were several rocky points in the history of unions relating to the transition of some large, existing unions from "white only" to "all inclusive", likewise from "male only" to "all inclusive". The TLDR is, "There are a lot of bigots who would rather hurt themselves than help someone they don't like."
Learn to C
I suppose my ideal UI understands your search, and then moves what it can to (interactively modifiable, as in Amazon's sidebar) filters, keyword searching on the rest.

Currently when I search Amazon and then see that some of my search terms are filter options / categories, I try to remove that from the search (which isn't always easy) in case there's more results I'm missing because they happen not to have the keywords.

Yes, I have. "Every Western institution" is obviously an hyperbole, I wouldn't consider that ignorant.

Right, because when I think of "intelligence" I assume it's specialized and otherwise is dumb as rocks. Naturally. Which is why marketers are really just advertising specialized tools, not agi. Obviously.

In some people, sensory overload can trigger ADHD like symptoms.

I'm sure you're right. Lobbying for tax avoidance is a classic example of rent-seeking. I'm just trying to point out that this is an empty gesture from the government. It makes people feel good but it doesn't really prevent tax avoidance in the future. If that was the goal, there's a much more direct way to do it.

I believe the account is a troll, in the earlier internet definition, someone that goads others, often for the sake of contrarianism, often to make them say odd/unsupportable things in response to seemingly reasonable or mild posts.

> which translates to being somehow smart

I've seen smart software developers abandoning their reason and logic in other areas of life. Being smart in one area doesn't necessarily mean you're smart in another, even when the skills are transferable! It varies on a person by person basis (I also met smart software devs who used that knowledge to be smart in other fields).

If you want to know how things like this can happen from a neuroscience point of view, read up on Damasio and his somatic marker hypothesis. It's a related/similar phenomenon.
Nice, lots of great tips here, you've made a strong enough case that I’m going to try out this approach myself. Thanks for sharing!
We will get there eventually, it is unavoidable...labor is rapidly losing in its value proposition vs. capital.

The minimum wage puts a bottom on the level of human labor the economy can support. This isn't a bad thing, it pressures people up the labor value chain ($5/hour jobs don't exist, you better be able to do a $10/hour one), and it forces companies to constantly improve productivity to match (e.g. through automation). However, if you move the line too fast, productivity improvements will eliminate lower level labor too quickly, causing problems for society. Artificial restrictions on labor will only cause those things to accelerate unless we tax robots as people (as you propose).
Community for engineers affected by Covid layoffs
yeah, but what are they measuring? The building? The profit-loss statements? No. They're measuring the attitudes of the employees in the store. If you're measuring the employees in a store, it is perfectly reasonable to say you're measuring the employees. Sure you could change policies and affect P(union), but you'd still be measuring the effect on employee attitudes.
The starbucks is in a Microsoft building though, so why not? The delivery person only goes between microsoft buildings, so why not? Can we game this by getting rid of food services on campus (everyone has to go "out" for lunch), and by ensuring that all deliveries transit through non Microsoft property?
People aren't always putting computers on or around their desk. It took a while to find a case that had the right fit in my old TV stand/entertainment center. Size was part of it, but so was shape. Anything in the shape of a cube or mini tower wouldn't fit. I needed a pizza box shape, but not one that was too wide or too deep.

Luckily, both my HTPC and entertainment centers are both due for upgrades, so at least now I can plan ahead.
You got it backwards. This is the opposite of the problem I and many other people tend to have with search engines lately. I do not want the damn thing to combine words, exclude unpopular ones, and search for synonyms without me telling it to explicitly. As little as you can semantics please.

If Google wants to group words by semantics, they should have a semantical grouping operator. For example "shirts (without stripes)". What if I am looking for a song text with these exact words in random positions?

If what author wants was implemented, it would make my experience with Google even worse, unless it could think for me also. But then why would it need me in the first place?

I wonder if this is a need for humans need to learn search queries. "-stripes" instead of "without stripes".

Or does input need to have basic filters applied before handing to ML? "without X" or "no X" = "-X"? Can be foiled with "shirt without having stripes".

In the 90's that situation was flipped: it was the desktop side that was stronger and the server side weaker. This was mainly because it was a bunch of hackers making the system they wanted for themselves. But then businesses started being built on Linux pouring money into server-side development (adding features, fixing bugs, improving performance etc.) and many of the hobbyists decided it was time to get paid for their efforts. So you end up where we are today.
Searching "men without pants" versus "men with pants" gives much better results.

This is a case where, while it makes sense to say the sentence, it's not a common use of language, and at the end of the day, the search engine will find what's written down, it's not a natural language processor yet (despite any marketing).

Shirt stores don't advertise "Shirts without stripes - 20% off", they describe them as "Solid shirts" or "Plain shirts". Men's fashion blogs talk about picking "solid shirts" or "plain shirts" for a particular look. If I walked into a clothing store and asked for "shirts without stripes", the sales person would most likely laugh and say "er, you mean you want plain shirts?".

Plain shirts/solid shorts are the most common way to refer to these, and people seem to be searching this way:

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=solid%20...

Regarding moving towards natural language processing - the "without" part is not as important as knowing the context.

My kids will ask me to get from the bakery things like "the round bread with a hole and seeds", which I know means "sesame bagel", or "the sticky bread", which means "cinnamon twists" - which I understand because I know the context. Sometimes they say "I want the red thingy", and I need to ask a bunch of questions to eventually get at what they want (sometimes it's a red sweater, sometimes it's cranberry juice).

Unless Google starts asking questions back, I don't think there is any way it can give you what you want right away.
Hmm ... it's true that I generally hate code that I produced siz months ago but I consider that a sign that I'm improving. And "churning out nothing but garbage" ignores the fact that 80% of the cost of an application is in its maintenance.

I couldn't quite believe your comment when I read it so I did a Google image search for "person" and the results weren't a lot better than you'd suggested. Mostly white men, a few white women, a very few black women, a handful of Asians, and multiple instances of Terry Crews.

The net result of that Google search, combined with the "Shirt Without Stripes" repo, leaves me even more unimpressed with the capabilities of our AI overlords.
Laziness isn't always "lazy". It can be fear of failure or fear of wasting your time. Learn to value small successes rather like completing a chapter or incremental increases in knowledge rather than waiting for the euphoria of "I completed the thing!" That has probably helped me more than anything and prevented a lot of frustration when learning/doing something new. Also, say "I'll work on it only a half hour and then stop" sometimes you'll find you are enjoying or at least appreciating what you're doing and keep coming a bit (or a lot) longer.
I'm not sure what you mean because it basically is the same thing just without cryptographic surety.
