I do agree that it isn’t “democratization” in the sense of “having access” and that it’s a buzz word. But with Azure Cognitive Services and Azure AutoML, I do think MSFT has shown itself capable of point 3: enabling its customers “to use the algorithms and models, potentially without requiring advanced mathematical and computing science skills”.

On the other hand, we’ve heard about the downsides of bubbles and echo chambers over the past few years — very broad lists like these can be good reminders that quality music (or good ideas of whatever sort) exist outside of the realm of what you and your friends are currently into. Not saying I agree with or care much about the actual rankings here, but it’s a decent list to scroll through and reconsider an artist or band I haven’t given much ear time to before.
This article is from 2014, right now my annoyance is more all these apps with low self esteem.

Always this stupid question "do you like this app" and then redirecting me to the play store to vote if I say yes or the support site when I say no. And to make matters worse they keep doing it every few days. Once is passable, over and over is NOT.

I've started to give 1-star reviews to these apps. So sick of this behaviour. Especially many of Microsoft's corporate apps do this (like outlook or teams) and most people download these because they need them, not because of some rating.

edit: I mean I do the 1-star thing with the apps which keep asking. If they ask once I just don't do the review (If I really love the app I would have left a 5-star review anyway). But once it comes up again I do this.
But you are supposed to make a new password for every service when signing in. And fill in your name.
Browser may detect there's registration form and autofill but it's ad-hoc, there isn't any standard for that.
you missed the point: what if Manning remembered his old box his own password of which he forgot, then asking this "Nathaniel Frank" does not automatically involve "Nathaniel Frank" into a conspiracy, as it is plausible Manning is asking help for non-nefarious personal reasons.

It's up to the prosecution to prove that J.A. == "Nathaniel Frank" (and yes, whistleblowers have a long history of leaking to multiple players in case one or more of them are in bed with the oppressor).

It's up to the prosecution to prove that "Nathanial Frank" couldn't have believed he was simply helping Manning regain access to whatever non-governmental stuff Manning has legitimate access to, and hence Manning has the right to grant others permission to crack his own hash...
Hmm.

I’m a big fan of immediate mode myself, because it’s kind of amazing how much you can actually push through via brute force.

However, wouldn’t you agree that Unity, Open Scene Graph, etc. are successful counter arguments?

I would say it depends on your audience. The bottom layer of the stack might be a very simple retained mode, or fully brute force immediate, but it’s not clear to me that a “UI framework” for application developers should be immediate mode.
I don't see any limitations on this side, intuitively, but I might not know all the intricacies tied to this kind of implementation.

All I want is to have a set of icons in my computer's tray that change color when a given device is done.

I used to be here, had goals of "Tony Stark-ing" as much of my home automation as Ic could and managed to succeed in a lot of ways.

What's weird is where I used to be 50/50 WFH thanks to successfully negotiating it in my hiring, going 100% WFH has made me really appreciate having analog "chores" to do that have nothing to do with the world of digital technology that consumes 8-10 hours of the day. In fact I've started looking forward to them.

The side effects have been interesting, the chores went from "I gotta clear out the dishwasher otherwise I'll have nothing to cook with, I wish I could automate this" to "I'm gonna tidy up and put on some Chuck Mingus because it's a nice break from Zoom calls" and has introduced a lot of deliberate-ness to my world that didn't exist before. And I like it.

Pretty much, it was more phone calls but yeah. My dilemma was not related to money, I was really having a hard time deciding, it was very stressful (not to mention the stress of hiding this from my employer) and really not fun.

There are minor genetic variations that can be used to trace whether infections came directly from Wuhan or through Italy or wherever. These variations do not vary the function of the virus or its infectiousness or reproduction in any known way, but do enable some methods for tracing the spread. California has an aggressive ongoing effort to sequence the genes of all COVID-19 cases which has contributed to this.

In theory it's all music that's under consideration, but in practice it's mostly western, English-language music that has been recorded since the widespread adoption of LP vinyl records starting in the late 1940s (before that recorded music was simply too niche, expensive, and low sound quality). Also, consider that modern music didn't really become what it is today until the Elvis revolution in the late 50s (which is why almost nothing on this list pre-dates the 60s). So Parker and Brubeck are suffering by these metrics.

They can do airframes but they are still far behind in avionics and engines. If the C919 ships in 2-3 years at all, it will be with CFM LEAP engines and American avionics. The problem for China is you cannot cut quality in aviation; there is no such thing as an affordable, lower quality product as there is in consumer products. We’re talking ca. 2030 for a competitive Chinese airliner.

I don't think MS is porting Edge to Linux because they want to test the waters for running Windows on a Linux kernel as the author speculates. It seems much more likely that Microsoft recognizes the web is an important platform for them to be a player on in the future, and they want web developers to be able to test stuff on Edge regardless of which OS they use.

This is the reason why Edge is available on MacOS and Linux.
It sounds more like a confidence / imposter syndrome issue than an actual lack of your skills or experience. Secret is, many thoughtful, intelligent people who practice self-reflection feel this way. We tend to overestimate the capbility of others and underestimate our own. Other people thought you were capable which is why they encouraged you and why you got the job. Maybe it's just confidence? Sure, you might not have the skills/experience required to really be successful right now but few people are. It can take time to figure things out. I say stick with it and continue asking these sorts of questions and seek help. As another poster said, what's your overall health? exercise, diet, mental health, etc. These things can mean the difference between success and failure yet the situation external to ourselves doesn't change. Keep looking for answers, you will find them.

Seriously. If you make a list called "The 500 Greatest Albums OF ALL TIME" and it doesn't include Beethoven's 9th Symphony, or anything before 1960 for that matter, or anything in languages other than English, it's clearly a garbage list. Rolling Stone is and always has been just another money-making echo chamber.

This is true. I understand other languages (for example Go) have very nice features of this kind - contextual auto-escaping and so on. However a lot of other languages also have these footguns around escaping and security.

Rather you sent a command in hopes that it would turn off, and hopefully it reports back correctly.

No, the assumption is because our solar system and earth are not particularly old, if life is commonplace, then there are civilizations that should be billions of years older than us. Imagine where we would be (assuming we don't simply destroy ourselves in the next 50 years) with a billion more year of technological progress? We should be all over the galaxy, colonizing left and right, sending probes everywhere, creating dyson sphere like structures that would be easily detectable from afar etc.
And that is just one civilization on an single planet out of 100 billions planets in our galaxy.

Of course everything is just speculation, for every hypothesis on one side of the argument you can find 2 hypothesis from the other side that counter it.
But the point is, to go back to the original question, that the right answer is definitely not obvious and if someone's opinion is that we are alone, or at least that life is very rare, it's not completly crazy.
Swift is designed for making nice, concise, clever APIs. It favors convenient abstractions over raw performance. It's very well-suited for GUI applications (that's the #1 task it's been created for). That may extend to application back-ends that have lots of business logic, but don't need to process large amounts of data.

This is in contrast to Rust, where more explicit memory management makes GUI frameworks a bit tedious. Rust is more explicit and gives lower-level of control, but borrow checking favors simple code over abstract interfaces.

To me Swift is more like native TypeScript, and a more practical alternative to JavaScript and Python for app development. Rust is a more direct replacement for C++, because it offers similar level of performance and control over every byte in the program.

Rust's compiler doesn't dare to insert any implicit allocations or non-trivial code itself, and will make programmer make every choice intentionally. Swift's compiler does whatever it takes to implement whatever abstraction it presents.
My wife worked with fashion models before covid, and as one would expect - they aren't the brightest people out there, and sure enough, cheap plane tickets! woohoo! - they go off to mexico, europe, wherever and post photos to instagram of them partying it up without masks, and sure enough, they got covid. And this is why my wife had to quit in March, because she knows how idiotic, selfish and reckless those people can be.
I'm sure the tube wasn't the deciding factor when it comes to the anxiety, but as someone who (pre-covid) commutes daily in London I find my cycles to and from work are a great release and make the experience much more tolerable. You avoid the crowds, heat, delays and expense.

That said, the past 6-9 month's events have made me strongly consider how much longer I want to live here.

This laser focus on GET HIM TO SIGN UP puts me in a defensive, adversarial position. How about you leave me alone and let me use the service? If it's useful to me then I'll absolutely figure out how to sign up, and semantic nonsense like the fact the the button is titled "sign up" is absolutely not stopping me.

What semantic nonsense like this WILL affect: you're creating a glut of disinterested users and firmly establishing your brand's identity as "one of those emails I have to delete every once in a while. I should cancel that thing or just filter it to spam". Now your metrics are blurry.

>"Sign Up" buttons don't work because You're asking for blind commitment and not providing any value

not solved by renaming the button.
You are right, but I couldn't resist the opportunity. Yes, just "accessibility" is a fairly broad term, but I do mean it in the context of assistive technology such as screen readers and navigation by keyboard and devices like directional controllers. I should note, we haven't actually done any of that work in Druid yet (we're struggling with scope as it is), but trying to think ahead. I believe that having a retained tree will help enormously with building this, and that, in the meantime, tab focus navigation is a good proxy for at least some of the problems we expect to face.
Great job Mehul. It looks great.

I would love to see a write-up and pictures of that incident. I think a lot of people, probably myself included, don't always give them the respect they deserve, and that would be a really neat story/visual to drive the point home.

Obviously, no pressure, but figured I'd express the interest
Couldn't disagree more.

In my experience buttons like "Start Drawing" are gateways to convoluted wizard signups in which I'm going to be asked to give out a bunch of informataion, possibly to find out 5 minutes in that whatever I wanted is beyond a pay wall or comes with conditions.

If that button is integrated with on page content and not in the header and the flow feels natural than I'm much more open to it.

If the rest of the site makes me want to sign up, then I'm going to look around for something clearly indicating that I can sign up or create an account.

I will say that over years in web design I have found that my preferences correspond very poorly with average preferences but I personally consider what they are saying to be an anti pattern.

money matters a lot until you have "enough". after that, it only matters as much as you decide. it's a lot easier to have a healthy relationship with work when the possibility of losing your job is no big deal. as a young person, having 2-3 years runway for your current lifestyle is pretty good. once you have this, it's no big deal to take a lower paying job for a few years. as you get close to the point where you want to retire, you want to have enough saved to maintain your lifestyle indefinitely. if you're already there, great!. if not, you gotta make up the difference real quick. you need about ten times as much money to maintain a lifestyle indefinitely as you do to maintain it for two years.

that said, I think a lot of young people have a poor understanding of how much saving early on can impact your retirement.

Yes and no. I wanted to go to company A, and went to interview for company B as a dress rehearsal or mock process, thinking it will increase my chances at company A and maybe even provide me with some leverage, but to be honest, I didn't think I'll need to negotiate or that I could squeeze more than a couple of grand out of it. So there you have it, lesson learned.
