> The study does suggest, however, that robots have a direct influence on income inequality. The manufacturing jobs they replace come from parts of the workforce without many other good employment options; as a result, there is a direct connection between automation in robot-using industries and sagging incomes among blue-collar workers.

Jobs will never fully disappear, but at some point, the vast majority of the human race will be classed out of work. Net wealth will continue to increase but will be increasingly concentrated into a smaller group of people (i.e. the people who own the automation and the people with PhDs who make the automation). I believe at a certain point, some kind of universal basic income will become necessary to support the people that will fall outside this small group.
I still dont think that makes sense. Every attack you can do against email you can do against fax.

MITM the connection - even ignoring opportunistic encryption, almost certainly easier to physically witetap some random office than it is to wiretap the internet connection between google's data center and microsoft's data center (picked as two random big email providers)

Insider at destination: your email account has a password and audit logs. Fax machines sit in the middle of a room. Usually anyone can just walk over

Insider at source: most people have their own computer/email account set up. Going to some sketchy shop with a public fax machine that any malicious party could have secretly modified is much worse.

The first editor I used was pico, then nano. I joined a sysadmin team shortly after college and they said they would not install those tools on the Sun servers; I had to learn vi. I wasn't prepared to argue but I wanted to know why. They said you'll find vi on almost every system and it will work fine in almost any terminal. To me there was a lot of value in that, and once I did learn vi, I liked it for all of the other reasons folks are mentioning in this thread.

It's not hard for me. I have a very low fear of missing out.

I do end up consuming news, but always either through some sort of filter or directly (rarely), but realizing the role of entertainment in whatever I am watching.

I use Twitter a lot, but I follow people who mostly don't replicate the news. I try to follow people that say interesting things.

I read Hacker News a lot, but there is the explicitly idea to not replicate mainstream news here, so another good filter.

I use Whatsapp a lot, but I am only in groups with friends and family, so another source of news, but filtered by people I care about. Maybe luckily, or even by my influence, these few groups are not just spamming news to me.

I am not against the news, I don't particularly "hate" the news.

I do inform myself through podcasts, a few that talk about books for example, so it is another filter to consume the news.
The genius part is the analogy; the terrible part is the reality.

Please left align this text!
is the 'front compartment' the 'frunk' (front trunk)? What are you trying to accomplish?

That's where you'd keep another body. jk. I meant the front half of the passenger compartment, with the driver.
I develop front ends for Laravel apps. The database is also on my desktop. With this would I need to host the database on its own server or can the Codespace also handle running a DB? Mainly asking because I only use laptops for co-working and meetups. Would love to ditch buying them and just use the iPad Pro that I have. Not sure how to handle the database if I'm on an iPad.
first off - you can't and shouldn't equate RoR line of work (monolithic architecture) as definition for all of full stack dev work out there. More often than not, full stack dev work encompasses microservices for your backend and a separate frontend app running their own frameworks (e.g. Javascript + React for frontend while Python + flask for backend).

What you ought to say probably is that you are enjoying web development but in a monolithic environment -- nothing wrong with it, I just wanted to clarify concept in your mind.

Secondly, I too transitioned from being a DevOps engineer for 6 years to working as a Developer. My take is: Money depends on the job - both can command more money than the other but I would bet that if you are thinking about contract work, then DevOps would probably pay you more.

In terms of competition, there is more 'intense' competition for Dev jobs -- at least here in Toronto, Canada. Why? Because as a Developer, you are expected to know things like data structures, basic algorithms, big frameworks (spring boot and react are pretty large frameworks in their rights). Then, there is increasing usage of coding tests before you even land an interview.

You don't do coding tests typically for DevOps jobs and even if there is, it is not intense -- you don't have to do SQL, you don't have to do OOP, etc.

Also, DevOps tooling are getting so advanced that majority of work is getting pretty simplified -- your 'tech stack' may only consist of yaml files (albeit for different tools) along with some python 'glue'/automation code. Heck, even in depth OS knowledge is not that critical now for majority of DevOps jobs ever since docker and k8s stole the scene. Finally, even the whole part about 'assisting and building CI/CD pipelines' and 'creating CI/CD relate framework for Devs in organization' and 'debugging build failures' and 'strategizing Git structure' is quickly moving towards Developers themselves doing all that so you are just a fancy tool admin in many cases. This ultimately will cause you to loose out on many modern proper software development skills and practices.

Up until couple of years ago, knowledge about a major cloud provider (e.g. AWS or Azure or GCP) and knowledge about usage of the SDK / creating templates would have been your saving grace and would have made you stand out -- but now, Devs are doing that more and more and they are more capable of doing so not because they are necessarily smarter than DevOps folks, but because of plethora of info available on internet plus such abstracted/simplified controls available via these Cloud providers in terms of SDKs and highly usable web consoles.

Finally, one thing that I felt personally regarding the job situation was that, in every company, the ratio of dedicated DevOps folks to developer would STRONGLY be in developer's favor. Sure, there is more competition for Dev roles but there are a whole lot more jobs in the market for Devs as well as compared to DevOps.
Hi! Buttplug Project Lead here! AMA!
If there was evidence it wouldn’t be effective.

That’s like asking a spy for evidence of their current mission.

Does the spy’s denial of knowledge or a lack of evidence of that spy’s mission mean that individual was not a spy? Quite the opposite. It means they were an effective spy.

Can you name at least two apps that has been abandoned? That hasn't been my experience at all with macOS.

I don't have a single app that was abandoned. BBEdit, 1Password, Little Snitch, MailMate, Tweetbot, Typinator, Rocket, and many more are all still updated when need be. Key note is "need", stable apps do not need constant yearly updates.

In addition, you can say the same thing about Windows. Metro, UWP and previous attempts didn't go anywhere either, their MS Store is pretty much a flop. (Granted, MAS as well).

Linux...it's not bad but there are issues with various UI frameworks, stores, etc. GTK/QT, Flatpak, snap, etc.

One of my favorite astronomy hypotheses is that Planet 9 (not Pluto, the one that's maybe mucking up the orbit of Kuiper belt objects) not only exists but is a primordial black hole. That would just be the most awesome thing to have a black hole accessible within our lifetimes. We would have to stop every other space mission and send up a mission to test quantum gravity on it.
I don't know about Github, but Apple and Microsoft have both run their major events live online for years (and at least the last two WWDCs have been streamed live by Apple in their entirety).

The really interesting thing here will be how these virtual conferences replicate some of the face-to-face aspects of the real-world conferences: labs, workshops, networking with other developers, etc. Github appears to be using this as an opportunity to introduce and trial Github Discussions, for example.
OK, but this has nothing to do with what I said.

Even cutting recovery time by 22% doesn't lower peak ICU usage very much-- less than 22% because there's still the effect of the exponential peak.

The point is it doesn't affect policy / the fundamentals of the situation in any way. It's something that individual patients are happy and thankful for, but the overall societal situation is the same. A treatment that reduced the chance of ending up in ICU by 50% would, but this isn't enough to move the needle.
There aren't any as far as I know (if you're asking for actual real life code), WinUI 3 is still very alpha stage. The first actual release is going to be later this year with .NET 5.0 release.

You can look at their community toolkit preview here if you just want to see some code: https://github.com/microsoft/Xaml-Controls-Gallery/tree/winu...

Even then, we won't know for a while as most devs aren't likely to switch on day one since it will have to be justified from current working stable codebase.
I would much rather a paragraph. But these days, I see spelling errors on some of the most popular news publication websites and have just come to accept that the quality of writing online is diminishing.

They didn't identify the new case in November. There is a report of a case that was retrospectively dated to mid-November, by searching through patient records and probably by re-testing samples. But that retrospective analysis was done months later.

The virus was not identified until the end of December, which is more than a month after the case in mid-November.

No one wants to use touch on Windows devices, because Windows devices are for doing actual work, and touch is a shitty, shitty input method.

I'm going to stick my fingers in my ears and keep trudging along with Win32, because it will never die. Trying to kill it would be the monumentally dumb, and I don't think Microsoft is that brain-dead.
I think your characterization of being an "intermediate product" is also dubious since you aren't being sold in any reasonable sense ala the way you are with ad tech. And whilst MS are obviously in the business of making money that doesn't mean it's the only thing they'll do.
> One of the side effects of that is the NeoVim people like to brag how much code they've deleted from Vim. The thing they don't mention is all the deps they've added in the process.

You present this in a negative light, and perhaps it's misleading of them to not acknowledge the added dependencies, but this is exactly what I want maintainers of my workhorse software to do. I would much rather they delete their own code and replace it with well-tested, robust dependencies rather than maintaining their wheel reinventions.

(Of course, whether or not the chosen dependencies are well-tested and robust is the trick.)
Thanks! It's been a lot of hard work but it's a super fun project, really glad people enjoy it. :D

The thing that I noticed is that because we're more worried about food supplies, people are making sure they're stocking their fridges and being much more careful about ensuring they've got food for every meal - because they aren't just going to pop out to grab something. As a result it's much more difficult to justify ordering takeaway, because you've got to eat the food in the fridge before it goes off.

I'm fairly certain that a lot (if not most) regular tracking can be avoided today. Sure, you can never know for certain what exactly you are leaking and what not and total anonymity is pretty much impossible. But I dare say, most tracking is probably low-effort and can be circumvented (especially if you are technically inclined). So your picture of the world may be your reality but certainly not everyone's.

But apart from that, even if the world was really on fire in terms of privacy, it would still not be an excuse to shrug everything off and "give up already". You wouldn't sign off your rights and shut up just because everyone else does, right?

I agree, harassing developers for including telemetry in their programs is absolutely disgusting and not the right way to push privacy. And usually the best response to terms you don't like is to just not agree to them and not use the app.

But in this case, I think it's a bit far-fetched: The dotnet SDK (for instance) is not overly complex (as in: the CLI; crash reports are a different topic), has a nice public GitHub repo and is only used by developers who, if they don't like something, probably know how to file an issue on said GitHub repo. So why does it need telemetry? I don't know what's going on in the dotnet team and maybe there's a good reason behind this choice but from my POV it just seems like it's unnecessarily shutting people who disagree with it out of .NET. And I think this is kind of an injustice to .NET as well (since - and I can not stress this enough - it is really good!)

Alright, </rant>. I'm not angry but "popular apps" (let's just call it that) have largely become a minefield for me, so I just avoid most of them. It's kinda sad that developer tooling is now also shifting in that direction.

>That said I've come around to the usefulness of deification of ideals and the idea that not every moment should be lived in object-space, but also in drama-space.

I can agree with that.

God as an idea is real in the abstract sense that all powerful ideas are real, and people believe in them, and treat them as real.

But as someone who was raised in a (Christian, US Southern) religious background, I've come to believe that everything wrong with religion comes from taking it literally.

I'd recommend using evil-mode. It'll give you the stock vim keystrokes and the command prompt (ie. what you get when you press the : key).

I was tempted to say "just use evil-mode", but it's really not "just" a matter of using it. evil-mode doesn't get you everything, as many Emacs modes just don't have vim-like bindings, and you'll either need to rebind them all yourself to something that makes sense for you (which is what I did, and I recommend creating lots of hydras to help you remember everything that's available), or you can use something like Spacemacs or Doom which will set up sane defaults for a lot of modes.

I've never used Spacemacs or Doom myself, but I've heard good things about both.. and bad things about Spacemacs, and how Doom is supposed to be an improvement on Spacemacs.. but as I've not used either I can't really comment on how accurate those claims are. I'd suggest doing your own research on those, or maybe someone here can comment on them.

Also, I'd recommend joining #evil-mode on the Frenode IRC network, the Emacs subreddit, and the Emacs StackExchange. You can get all of your questions answered there, and learn a ton about Emacs by reading these.

Hi, paper author here. The model was fine-tuned on (non-Reddit) data that was specifically designed to give it positive conversational skills, like empathy, knowledge, and personality (see: https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.13637).

Congrats, we're already in the early stages of the pop. But I'm also not claiming that capital is completely misallocated, that's another all-or-nothing false dichotomy on your part. I'm saying that the current VC climate has been dominated by a toxic culture of chasing hyper-growth in many inappropriate cases, killing companies that otherwise have fine business models by subjecting them to stressful expectations. You can take a strategy that works in some cases and apply it in a wasteful, unrealistic way. That is called a cargo cult. Even before this virus crisis we saw earlier this year and last year companies in the SoftBank portfolio experiencing layoffs in the fallout of WeWork's demise. Onwards, not "nearly all VC backed growth stage companies" will be unwound, but the ones funded under the most reckless of terms will be in grave risk. If you haven't seen the bubble popping, you haven't been paying attention.
