IMO Java's crippling flaw is that it is very verbose (largely but not entirely due to lack of type inference), but its type system nevertheless permits a lot of errors (notably NPEs) that other languages easily catch. In a lot of ways, it gets the worst properties of both static and dynamic languages, both the inflexibility and the unsafety, all the weight and precious little of the power. It would be a lot more tolerable if it was null-safe with proper algebraic Option types.

So yeah, a smart programmer who moves from Java to either Haskell or Clojure will likely find it a breath of fresh air, for very different reasons. Incidentally, the reason I recommend OCaml is because it's a HM-inferred language but with a much more pragmatic type system than Haskell's. You can just println wherever you please.

It's true that subtyping makes inference a lot harder. My reflex is that subtyping is overrated and you should just use interfaces and composition, but you would have a decent claim that I'm moving the goalposts or something. I'm sure OCaml has a semi-decent solution, given the O part of the name, but I don't know off hand what it is. Worst case, if the compiler chokes on your subtype-heavy code I would say to just annotate it. Annotations are certainly valid for when type inference fails or for generally forcing it to do your will in weird cases. Relatedly, I don't totally hate forcing top-level function signatures to be explicit, which would also solve the most-general-interface thing in most cases.

AFAICT your last example is just ill-typed and should not compile. This is another of the places where Java's type system just fails entirely. What is the caller who gets that thing supposed to do with it, except reflect on the type of the contents like we're writing Python?

If you used battery electric cars would likely be a lot cheaper to build.

Speaking of electric, in Taiwan they have occasional dedicated paths for scooters. With the advent of battery power bicycles grade separated bike lanes seem more useful. Because battery power eliminates the hill problem.
God your example is such a good demonstration. Captions are an art and not simply "correct is correct". They also have to be timed correctly to match what is being shown on the screen as well as pausing for the correct amount of time to match the effects that the speaker is giving.

> So alien viruses could directly and initially interface with Earth based life-froms cells (humans,the biota inside the humans, etc.), with probably also, somewhat predictable results. Or at least novel coronavirus like outcomes.

Entirely possible, but COV-19's novel spike protein was developed through brute-force trial and error. An alien virus would need to do so via happenstance.

"People who see stressful events as “challenges”, with an opportunity to learn and adapt, tend to cope much better than those who focus more on the threatening aspects – like the possibility of failure, embarrassment or illness. These differences in mindset not only influence people’s mood, but also their physiological responses, such as changes in blood pressure and heart rate, and how quickly they recover after the event." - Quote

This is super interesting and points to the idea that emotions are much more of a "what you let yourself feel" versus "what you feel".

It’s called a “bang command”, [1] and DDG redirects that search to another site. You can set DDG as your default search engine but rely on these commands to search on other sites. Just put the bang command anywhere in your search term or phrase.

In this case, “!g” means search on google.com. So you get redirected to Google for that search. You can search on Startpage with !s, Wikipedia with !w, IMDB with !imdb, Amazon with !a, Google Images with !gi and so on. There are thousands of bang commands.

I believe the counter argument is platforms are purposefully crippling or at least not advancing their mobile web experience in order to keep native apps a better experience. Personally I don't believe the case since even on the desktop web-based apps are a poor experience. Slack has such a weird desktop UI all because it isn't a true native app.
I can't fault their logic on the bidding system and the RoI of "users" when being privacy centric or not.

They are quite outspoken about it, maybe forgetting that they are a meta search engine! Perhaps the search menu should have "Google based search engines", "Bing based search engines" etc with sub-menus.

searchenginemap.com is handy to indicate the "brands" of alt-search people are using are just really Bing results re-skinned, though DDG are quite clever into having folk believe their crawler is for indexing more new pages.

Often see comments about how people done a search for X on DDG and compare to Google, surely part of the taste test is to go look at Bing as well.

FWIW I think the search preference menu should not be a bidding system and perhaps free, but unsure how to keep the size of the list of entrants small.
Big Data in Making Garbage Collection Much Better
Validate your Product – The 4 wheels
I think you are comparing apples and oranges. Heroku is great not just because of its DX, but 1) because it's a subsidiary of Salesforce and I know it won't disappear tomorrow and 2) it has a thriving app ecosystem. It's a real stretch to compare a recent $2.25M seed funded upstart with it and borderline malpractice to suggest running your production workloads on it.

With AWS although you have to pay the premium on egress, you don't pay that until you leave their sandbox; what's more, you can add links into your VPC that sidestep it. If you're just running open source software or a kubes cluster on commodity boxes and you're fine owning all of your operational burden, sure. Use whatever you like. But if you want reliability and good DX, your options get narrower.

Personally, I think that AWS Code Suite and VS/Azure spaces (and GitHub spaces by proxy) are going to be the real challengers in this space. There is a real UX problem to solve but it doesn't mean I want to necessarily use a different platform.
Because working hard is not important if it has no impact. I've had people work really hard, I tell them to make sure to do blah, and to focus on blah2, and to let people know that they did blah3. They ignore that and just work on what they think is important, and work super hard.

Then eventually people realize what they did is a bit "offtrack" and doesn't connect to an existing system that everyone agreed is going to be the base platform going forward, and it's also not immediately useful because it didn't focus on blah2, and it doesn't cover this use case that everyone else cares about (but that they don't think it's a big deal), and other people don't ever figure out it does blah3 because they never documented it properly and used a less familiar term for it. Also, everyone is now stressed out, because what this person did now needs to be replaced in way less time. Well then, all that "value" they produced was just a waste of company money, frankly.

So yeah, I would promote the person that worked less hard, but was well connected to figure out what others care about and is important to the company, and made sure that piece worked great. And the person that produced less, but enabled others to produce more (either from a technical standpoint, or a morale/assurance standpoint) so overall the output was greater. It's a no brainer.

Also, people who are constantly thinking about their own productivity can be dismissive of others, creating a bad work environment. So you don't want to elevate those behaviors.

Is there some context explaining why this is based on an auction ?

If the goal is to prevent Google from using its Android dominance to also dominate search engines, a random sort of the most popular search engines in a given country sounds like a better option.
A purely autonomous road system would make much better use of space than the current system. For instance, you could discard with the notion of fixed lanes on a motorway as the system could nearly instantly allocate lanes on the basis of demand. You'd also be able to do away with curb side parking in urban centres, which would free up more land for commuting.

A train is obviously more still more efficient between fixed points, but self-driving cars are far more economical for less-frequented routes and more convenient for last-mile transit than buses.

Besides using 6x more memory (close to 500MB for my target game) and taking 3x to load, latency is noticeably worse to the point of it becoming a major annoyance during play.

Spatterlight feels instant.
Are these annoyances academic? Not for me.
I saw a city bus flashing a message along the lines of "stop the spread" / "wear a mask" along with the usual other stuff, and I just kind had a sense of unreality, as if I were dreaming about a science fiction movie or story that I'd seen. A frighteningly plausible plague or zombie movie. I mean, I'd gotten used to it, but then I suddenly flash back to the perspective of a year ago, or ten, or twenty.

An idea I had, which I will never use to write an SF novel, but anyone is welcome to steal, though it's kind of dumb and definitely not well grounded in science, is...suppose that humans are all the intelligence there is in the universe, and in the near future, something is going to wipe us out, maybe some kind of wibbly-wobbly quantum observer effect is making probabilities spread out and become fuzzier in advance, the closer we get to the event. I'm kind of imagining that the wave functions are all sort of un collapsing as we get closer to their being no observers.

As if there was an improbability generator a la Douglas Adams, but due to a purely natural effect of physics.
I think you should ask them questions that will elicit the exact information you’re trying to get. So for example, like bhargav1195 said, asking questions like “what have you typically done to do xyz (i.e. the goal you want the feature to achieve)?”, “what’s been the most difficult part for you when you’re trying to accomplish xyz?” etc. Those will give you better information to work with because users don’t always know what they want. You find what they truly need hidden in between the lines.

briefcomment’s suggestion also sounds good but I’d be curious to see how that works out if you ever try it out because I don’t think I’ve seen it in practice either

That phrase would've meant entirely different things 20 or 10 years ago. In many ways m$ held the land in crushing subjugation, raping the cattle and eating the serfs until there's little left but scorched earth and crunchy remnants.

Ceding those leftovers to the few remaining holdouts and weird people who like their beef that way is perhaps not the crushing defeat we hoped to see m$ suffer.

However, this will do.

Aren't anti-trust laws meant to benefit the consumer?

I fail to see how the remedy proposed by the EU (this bidding/auction method) is benefiting me, the consumer, when the most popular Google alternative is eliminated from the options because they don't monetize as aggressively.
I thought it has to do with how AOSP/ROMs work.
Yeah, I see both moves as being part of a careful dance around pending anti-trust issues. They're about to force holdouts to use their IAP system, which would be bad optics from an anti-trust point of view. However, if at the same time they make 3rd part app stores more viable they have a strong defense of "Look developers can sell their apps in other places on Android but if they want to sell through us, these are the terms."

If they really do follow through with reasonable support for other app stores, that will be a good thing.
> _ When_ you eat your food has never directly related to weight loss

I am not sure this is true. Insulin levels rise naturally just before waking, and apparently the same calories consumed at breakfast as at lunch has a different impact on fat accumulation.

The general theme I keep coming across is that calories in, calories out is too simplistic and that weight loss is driven by hormones which fluctuate with the circadian cycle and _what_ you eat with respect to those calories.
What do this question means? Do you think they mess around with so many neighbor countries is just looking for love, peace and equality?
Waymo hasn’t produce a single production car. I doubt their software works on random stop signs in Cleveland. Until I see them on the road, I’m ok watching incremental improvement happen. Being first doesn’t matter.

> And AFAIK Tesla still can't recognize stopped vehicles on the highway and has no public plan to fix that.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this? I do have a Tesla (without full self-driving) and it comes to a complete stop when cars in front of me stop on the highway.
> Everyone has made disappointingly little progress on full self-driving in the sense of driving little Johnny from the house to soccer practice by himself.

Here's a video of Waymo CTO Dmitri Dolgov claiming that he's perfectly comfortable putting his children in a Waymo car without a driver: https://youtu.be/fZHDvKw0QTA?t=952. Whether he's bluffing or not, we don't know.
On the other hand, it'd so radically change the nature of being in a vehicle that it'd be hard to classify it as congestion as we currently understand it. If you're sitting in a comfortable pod with all the conveniences of home and productivity tools available to you in an office, then the impact of taking longer to get to your destination is much less significant.
More context from the agency working on the redesign (Studio 24): https://w3c.studio24.net/updates/on-not-choosing-wordpress/

I always wonder (not sure in this case) if it's more of an "our agency is kind of halting new dev work on platform XYZ now, and this is actually the primary motivation", or if they truly believe it is in the client's best interest.

Having worked for and with a number of digital agencies in the past, I'm always a little suspicious when an entire replatform onto some other system is suggested.

Not that it's always the wrong decision, but sometimes if your internal team is used to something, pulling that out and switching to a different system entirely can be pretty disruptive. It can create new opportunities, but I've found with nonprofits unless the 'old' (which is Wordpress, which isn't so bad even though I hate it's guts) is really not fitting their needs, it's often not worth a complete replatform in the end (though the agency always gets paid handsomely, one way or the other).

peaceful protests get ridiculed as weak/ineffectual while even mildly active protests are called riots and savagery, what the hell is anyone to do?
Why would that be better? 2.5 billion doesn't get that much highway and even less robot highway. If you're not someone living on or near the robot highway you get no benefit from it and the vast majority of people won't be living anywhere near the robot highway.

Conversely, inventing self-driving cars scales really well. Invented once. Commoditized. Sold worldwide for a profit. Massive benefits to everyone worldwide.

It's disappointing that Uber's research isn't paying off, but it's clearly a bet in pursuit of much higher stakes than making a highway.
Does one have anything to do with the other? Recent Gov announcement of materials or craft not from this world? Black Op Programs at Area 51? It's all very interesting.

The main revelation is that technology exists that is capable of performing flying maneuvers that shatter our perceptions of propulsion, flight controls, material science, and even physics. Let me underline this again for you, the Nimitz encounter with the Tic Tac proved that exotic technology that is widely thought of as the domain of science fiction actually exists. It is real. It isn't the result of altered perception, someone's lucid dream, a stray weather balloon, or swamp gas. Someone or something has crossed the technological Rubicon and has obtained what some would call the Holy Grail of aerospace engineering.

I can’t drive a Waymo or Cruise car at all. So they may as well not exist. But Tesla is supposed to be releasing self-driving on city streets soon. And let’s make sure we are clear here, you don’t need to be on a highway to use Autopilot.

Do you own a Tesla? We previously had a car with ACC/ALC and I don’t find it to be even close to the same thing, but that’s me.

Comma.Ai’s device is great. It’s better than anything anybody else (Waymo/Cruise included) has put out there.
From what I've read, it's not equally easy, and nobody has figured out a way yet, including the really smart people who came up with the hex algorithm.

In fairness the solution proposed by OP would require the same level of infrastructure investment as a carpool lane.
On the flip side, with libraries that use version symbols, you need to update all of the versions, so dynamic linking might have some of the same problem.

There are two different problems at play. The anti-trust one (Google using its dominance in mobile to boost its own search product) is solved by forcing them to offer alternative defaults. The other problem you are alluding to (user privacy I assume?) is unrelated to this, and there are already laws like GDPR in place to address that.
