It's always our theoretical perception that pushes the boundaries, regardless of what tech we have. I would say our theoretical imagination is lacking these days. Probably because scientists aren't trained in broad rigorous thought with philosophy. Instead, the memorize some mathematical formula and the latest tech, and go off trying different permutations thereof in order to get published and get grants. In my many years in academia I see very little imaginative original thought. In the commercial world there is more innovation, but not much deep understanding or theory beyond optimizing some market. Altogether, the leading thinkers are very narrow minded and short sighted.

Academia is also much less religious these days. Perhaps there is a correlation.

well, people have misused grammar for ages <ducks>

Again though, that's the great thing about "swear" word. Shit can be good, shit can be bad, and shit can just be shit. Not being a grammarian, how many words other than curse words be a noun, verb and adjective all at the same time. buffalo comes to mind, but is just non-nonsensical when used.
I use vim as my primary editor. I've tried a number of times to pick up VSCode. The functionality is there. The modal keybindings are there. But yet it lags and I can deal with it in the short term but over the course of a day my frustration mounts and I end up going back.

There's a difference as well between refresh/frame rate and input lag. It is very much possible for a game to have a consistent 60hz frame rate but yet lag. Lag can come from delays in the input subststem, it can come from buffering before display, it can come from the display itself.

I just had a quick Google and found a bunch of training videos on YouTube for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so it does seem possible. Having done a number of martial arts myself I do understand that having a partner does make a massive difference but I've never come across a martial art that doesn't have solo training exercises to enable individuals to practice when alone. Even the martial arts that you wouldn't expect could work solo (like fencing) still have solo training exercises.

I mean, that's great for you. You're just lucky I guess.

But I hope what I described makes sense to you. It's not about 1 GB files at all, it's about regular files. My suspicion is that it's mostly "side features" that start to grind when they get beyond a certain point.

To be more specific with one example, I've used another code editor that a simple "find all" operation will populate a results box. If you mess up your regex to be accidentally super-generic and it finds 100,000 results in your 20K-line file, it takes half a minute to load the results into the results box and become responsive again, with no "cancel" button.

Similarly weird edge cases in a syntax highlighter interacting with a half-finished line of code of yours causes something to choke up. That kind of thing.

Do you understand now? Again, you seem to just be lucky that you haven't encountered this kind of thing.
I didn't say your experience was an outlier, just that you're surely a bit biased towards a certain point of view having taken up Clojure right after it was birthed. But yes, your experience is bound to be an outlier compared to people starting to use it in much a more mature state, which will be nearly everyone in the long run.

As for jdbc, I don't use it currently, but did at my old job (along with honey sql). If you think you have to rewrite some DB access code just because there's a newer library out, maybe the real problem is not Clojure, but your mindset. Perhaps something to think about.
It's hard to say limited benefit when the entire Julia ecosystem evolved to so heavily rely on it, to allow for each package to work on it's own level of abstraction: For example, the Julia's standard library implements all of the basic math operators on the CPU, and libraries like Flux then define it's own methods to implement the higher level operators used in ML (such as convolutional layers and activation functions). And then someone writes those same basic math operators but instead of running on CPU they run on GPU, and for that they use a new type (CUArray). The original library knows nothing about CUArrays, it will call the same basic operators as always, but since they have a different type (received from the user) they'll dispatch to the GPU version.

This kind of interaction can grow indefinitely, for example if you use a complex number type/library it will change the basic operators to deal with both real and imaginary parts, and if you use the GPU types within it, then it will do complex math in the GPU (and ML on complex math on GPU..., without any of the libraries being aware of the other). You can see a more detailed explanation on:

Additionally to what others mentioned, Dnd Beyond [1] has a quite active play by post board on their forum. It's great to get started, but games tend to rarely go to the end of the campaign and stop after a few months. It's still a good thing as a first experience.

After that, I would recommend to find friends to play by mail. Somehow, I noticed players less easily give up the game when they're friends. Simply by talking regularly about your first games is usually enough to get other friends interested. Just don't push it on them and let them come by themselves, as it's quite a commitment and will be felt as a burden if they feel they're playing with you just to be nice to you.

It's a focussed effort to contain/eradicate the virus. At current levels, it's already possible to extensively investigate every single case and trace & isolate contacts. That should allow for continued reduction with far lower restrictions on daily life compared to the blanket measures of the last few weeks.

And while specifically protecting nursing homes and the elderly is obviously being attempted, that's just far harder than one might think: nursing homes have a lot of employees, almost all of which are rather young. While some contacts can be minimised by, for example, switching to external catering, the need for care, cleaning, and medical treatments are rather inflexible.
> According to the NHS, over half of deaths attributed to covid in the UK were going to die within a year anyway,

This is untrue. Most people who died were expected to live for another ten years.

https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/5-75/v1

> Results: Using the standard WHO life tables, YLL (Years of Life Lost) per COVID-19 death was 14 for men and 12 for women. After adjustment for number and type of LTCs, the mean YLL was slightly lower, but remained high (13 and 11 years for men and women, respectively). The number and type of LTCs led to wide variability in the estimated YLL at a given age (e.g. at ≥80 years, YLL was >10 years for people with 0 LTCs, and <3 years for people with ≥6).

> Conclusions: Deaths from COVID-19 represent a substantial burden in terms of per-person YLL, more than a decade, even after adjusting for the typical number and type of LTCs found in people dying of COVID-19. The extent of multimorbidity heavily influences the estimated YLL at a given age. More comprehensive and standardised collection of data on LTCs is needed to better understand and quantify the global burden of COVID-19 and to guide policy-making and interventions.

https://www.gla.ac.uk/news/headline_720672_en.html

> “This new analysis found that death from COVID-19 results in over 10 years of life lost per person, even after taking account of the typical number and type of chronic conditions found in people dying of COVID-19. Among people dying of COVID-19, the number of years of life lost PER PERSON appear similar to diseases such as coronary heart disease. Information such as this is important to ensure governments and the public do not wrongly underestimate the effects of COVID-19 on individuals,” he added.
I dont understand how all these Smart people got sold into VR, AR, and AV ( Autonomous Vehicles).

We have long entered into the age of TDP Computing as a proxy of relative performance. We could not even make the application Work on a 1000+ Watt PCs. Why is it we think we could make it works in Sub 100W anytime soon. We need Ultra Hi-Res because of how close the pixel are to our eyes, we also need Ultra-High frame rate so we dont have motion sickness. And then we expect Photo Realistic graphics along with Ultra Low Latency which No one have solved yet as we are constantly trading latency for throughput. ( Good old Street Fighter II felt more responsive than today's fighting game )

We can estimate with certain degree of accuracy how long it would take to reach 80% of the project, but experience taught me the last 20% would somehow take the same amount of time as the first 80%. To put this into AR, VR, AV perspective, we are at least another 6-8 years away from seeing its usefulness.
I thought similarly too, until I spent some time with Prolog. Lisp seems wonderful and clever, but Prolog feels even more magical.

Even a simple thing like concatenation of two lists, that in Prolog it could be done purely declaratively, without expressing how it needs to be performed, seems levels more magical than how it is done in lisps.

I can't know for sure, but it's pretty likely your experience and your observations aren't quite aligned. If the contrast is too low (such that you notice), it can certainly cause more strain. But it's often the case that almost-black registers as black (and almost-white as white) and you don't even realize that's what you're seeing.

> It is simply incredible that you've reduced the argument for lifting lockdowns to "getting a mocha latte grande whatever." I have never seen an argument made in such bad faith before.

It's meant to be the worst possible reason to end the lock down, with "otherwise everybody dies" being the best possible reason. Everybody falls somewhere between these extremes. I just wanted to make clear that there is no sane position that responds to the worst possible circumstances by saying "lives must not be lost because of Covid-19, but I'm fine with them being lost because of our reaction to Covid-19".

My personal opinion is somewhat close to yours, I believe. I'm aware that a massively shrinking economy has severe real world consequences.

Disclaimer: not a crypto millionaire (my comment history shows some plausible evidence of that).

Thanks for giving your opinion. Well, we clearly strongly disagree. The only issue I see in my argument is that I don't know well enough to what extent the unbanked can exchange bitcoin in their local economy for goods/services or their own currency. One can say they can't, but the real answer is: they probably can't, but I don't know and maybe they could. If they couldn't then my position is not holdable. If they can, then I'd say I strongly disagree.

In any case, you said the following.

> demand for unregulated money exchange is of course unlawful transactions, and serious crime like extortion undoubtedly represents several orders of magnitude more volume in the BTC economy

The way I made this quote is slightly out of context, but with this I agree (i.e. I deleted "the real" and "than serving the unbanked").

But what about playfulness? This is a completely different inquiry than my comment above that (i.e. the western world). I wonder how big that demand is. I'd venture to guess the following: at least 21 million people are willing to play with bitcoin by now for at least $1. If this number is 210 million people, then this lowerbound goes to $10 per bitcoin. Yep, handwavy, I know. I'm assuming by the way that in such a secnario everyone would then play around with 0.1 bitcoin.

The reason those values are sustainable is because $1 is within everyone's budget of being playful.

I'm simply wondering what you think as your views are very different from mine.
If there's one thing we learn from E. R. Burroughs' careful multi-volume monograph on Mars, it's that the planet has room for numerous species, each involved in quite different political struggles.
It shouldn't need to be rewritten. The same Python code can be utilized in all of those different forms, unless you've tied yourself to a framework for functionality that needs to be used in the new context, i.e., for functionality that is not form-specific.

If you've fallen into the trap of thinking a specific form is eternal -- for example, if you've subconsciously identified "our back end == our REST services" and therefore "data serialization/deserialization, metrics, and data storage access should and will be done only in the REST services" then you might have relied on a REST service framework for that functionality. Then when you want to move functionality to an AWS Lambda or a Spark streaming job, you find yourself forced to choose between running a REST framework inside the Lambda or Spark streaming job (which will be hacky, if it works at all, since frameworks want to own the application lifecycle and be configured via specific mechanisms) or writing and maintaining a duplicate implementation of all your data serialization/deserialization code, metrics configs, S3 configs, etc.

I don't mean to say it's a disaster if you end up doing that, but it's a cost that will tend to hold you back from doing the right thing and make you persist with hacks and band-aids longer than you would have if you were free to change.

> "In 1988, Donald Norman appropriated the term affordances in the context of human–machine interaction to refer to just those action possibilities that are readily perceivable by an actor."

Putting a door handle on a door is an affordance: you can see how to open the door (action).

Putting window controls on something that's not a window and can't be controlled as such is not an affordance: it's misleading. There's no action to be perceived here.
This is both a very obvious and a very interesting proposal: locate an apparent source of gravitation by observing the gravitational effects it has upon a fleet of small (almost point-like) craft.

However, there’s something that niggles me.

If it’s a primordial black hole that has been captured by the sun, why is it (as far as I understand) apparently in the same plane (ecliptic) as all the other major bodies in the solar system? It makes sense for all planets & cetera to be in the same plane because they all originated in the same swirling (flat) planetary nebula... but a captured object could potentially orbit at any inclination (and, considering how massive it is, I doubt it would be coerced into being coplanar by comparatively minor intersections with light bodies such as those present in the Oort Cloud, which are arranged roughly spherically anyway).
It does mean that in the absence of any other obvious explanation. I don't actually know the extent to which women working in factories were conscripted in WWII. But I do know that women weren't forced to work as programmers in the 1960s.
