My dad was always worried about botulism. I don't know what happened, but he would refuse to eat dented cans and things like that, just in case.

> Eventually Silicon Valley will end up like Detroit, with abandoned 4-over-1 condo complexes and empty office parks where the software industry once stood.

This happened to Detroit because jobs were literally the only reason to live there. The Bay Area has amazing weather, unbelievable scenery, world-class recreation, and tons of music and culture. If the jobs of today leave, the jobs of tomorrow will replace them simply because the area itself is one of the best in the country. Detroit is a flatland nowhere in frozen tundra flyover state. "A bunch of lakes" is only going to keep an extremely small subset of people interested.

>> I really wish, that when COs like Amazon decided to productize a thing they either offered the core developer(s) enough $ to work on it full time (if they wanted) or a job to do that with a guarantee that as long as it was a product, and they wanted to work on it, they'd be allowed to continue.

> It seems like you're arguing that people should get both the good will of having an open source license and the profits of a closed source license. Which comes across as disingenuous.

It isn't. Linus Torvalds and all kinds of other people are paid to work on the Linux kernel, sort of like how the op suggests, and if that hadn't happened Linux would probably be a shadow of what it is now.

The alternative is to have some guy slave away for another's profit, and eventually burn out (which happens to tons of open source developers).

When we are children, we don't have much innate fear. We don't fear falling down too much, but we can learn to fear it if we get hurt. As a kid, you can learn how to fall down without getting hurt; your head isn't so far off the ground, your bones are not brittle yet. As an adult if you fear falling down, you will almost certainly hurt yourself when you fall. If you didn't go down that path as a kid, you may never take up skiing, or mountain biking, or other sports.

> the Cambridge Analytica story is unraveling

I assume you are referring to stories like this[0] where the UK's Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) recently found that "Cambridge Analytica models were exaggerated and ineffective". Presumably you don't think that there could be any bias in the ICO's investigation, despite the UK government now being run by Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Dominic Cummings, all senior members of the Vote Leave campaign group.

Regardless of any bias, there is the question of whether the ICO had the data it needed to judge CA's models sufficiently. We have a whistleblower claiming that Vote Leave "attempted to destroy evidence"[1] and photographic proof that "Storage crates were removed from Cambridge Analytica's London headquarters today (pictured) but it is not yet known who has ordered them to be taken away"[2]. In fact, CA were given at least a week's notice to prepare for the search warrant[3], a privilege not afforded to most criminal suspects.

You might think that there is nothing suspicious about all this, and that even a fair examination of CA's practices would clear them of any influence over the outcome of the referendum (and you may also think that all online advertising is a waste of money, because it can't influence people's decisions and opinions), but please do not glibly state without a citation that the story about them is "unravelling".

Depends on the organization, some places managers don't have any involvement in anything technical, but at a lot of places they do. Managers are often involved with architecture/design decisions, resolving internal disagreements about technical matters, improving dev processes, negotiating with PMs to translate product requirements into concrete engineering tasks, etc.

These are all things a senior IC should be doing as well, and as a manager these are the kinds of things you can and should start having your team replace you on if they're up for it.

And then of course, some of your ICs likely do want to transition to the manager path. So you can involve them in hiring conversations, phone screens, conversations about team mandate/goals, team structure and head count, etc.

My point is what if that was due to the inertia of the eastern US having more population, being close to necessary waterways for transportation, and certain natural resource stores.

We have the internet and cheap transportation now, so people (with resources) can more easily move to where they want to live.

I can conceive a future where even if tech were somehow displaced, then other people with money would come to silicon valley, simply because they want to and they're not tied to another location, like richer people may have been during Detroit's heyday.
> The forces that kept people here are temporarily gone.

I wonder a lot about this and its effects. We're seeing big price increases here in Bend, Oregon and what seems like an influx of people from larger cities. Why live in a city if you can't do city things?

Bend was already trendy though. I wonder if this effect will indeed spread out even further. There are a bunch of former logging/ranching towns here in Oregon (and, indeed, throughout the west) that are not doing nearly so well. Roseburg, Pendleton, Baker City, Grants Pass come to mind. They have access to some nice outdoor spaces themselves. Will people start moving there, or will they constrain themselves to 'the beaten path' of towns that their peer group considers a 'nice place to live'?
1950 was also the point when:

* Auto manufacturers consolidated to 3 big companies and started to more consistently put smaller startup automakers out of business.

* They got into protracted fights with unionizing workers.

* They stopped building manufacturing plants in detroit itself and built them further afield to cut labor and land costs.

I think we can see these trends being mirrored in the tech industry right now.

It may still have an effect in time to recovery, which is important, both in reducing suffering and helping hospital capacity. Of course that has to be weighed against the side effects. In any event, I do not think that the $3K per treatment price is justified.

By the way, there is a supplement that is far far cheaper than remdesivir and is available over the counter which has also shown to reduce time to recovery by about as much as remdesivir. See:

https://investors.chromadex.com/news/news-details/2020/Chrom...

This is a 100 person trial, which is much less than the remdisivir trials, but still statistically significant. In any event, the risk is much lower, according to the study "adverse events were uncommon, benign, and self-limiting." The supplement is sold as truniagen.
How does English compare to other languages in terms of adaptability and expression of new ideas and concepts? My intuition is that it would score much higher in these regards. I don't know if this is correct. One example would be that many newer words in English don't ever get translations in other languages, they just use the English word.

IIRC, all cheese has mold. Some of the mold is safe and/or desirable to eat (blue cheese's blue is mold).

But those soft cheeses can grow other mold: If it does this, you have to throw it all out as it could be dangerous. In general, you don't want mold where you didn't expect it.
True; but wait til you see how I plan to screw that up.

Oh you think that’s rough?

Non-english languages are way better at this. In Slovenia, for example, we have about 2 million speakers. Those are divided into 32 dialects. Many of them mutually unintelligible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovene_dialects

Germany has a similar problem with regional dialects.

That’s why these languages have a standard official version. Because they need one.

The fact English doesn’t have such a standard is fantastic evidence to the relative lack of strong dialects.

Then again, we do have BBC English and American Movie English which act as de facto standards.

Oh and air traffic control english is also heavily standardized from what I’ve heard. Defined with the rigor of an API.
While supply and demand is a good model, it is at the end of day, still just a model. Even as a model, it is not easy to apply to real-life situations. Measuring supply and demand is not easy. Constraints on supply and demand change all the time. Complements and supplements change all the time. Second and third order effects which take a long time to show, but have massive impact cannot be easily predicted and measured. Finally, the supply and demand logic requires a perfect market, which does not exist.

It is great model when you have perfect information. I would like to present the Economics Anti-Textbook - https://www.amazon.com/Economics-Anti-Textbook-Critical-Thin... for a more nuanced approach.

>The problem is, actually, "gullible people who lack the capacity for critical thought". It doesn't really matter if it is "one person", or a tightly knit group, or even one's own government.

Since you can't wave a magic wand and expect people to get smarter in the matters of public health, you have to come up with a solution that works for todays populace. IMHO the only solution is to artificially amplify the voice of experts. Yes, some may call this "gatekeeping", but yeah we don't want to give equal time to crystals and homeopathy as we do to established accepted science.
Can't find it now, but there was an article somewhere that discussed coronadeaths per capita in the last three months, because we now have some ideas about treatment. The death rate in the US was 5 times that of Europe, IIRC. That's concerning because it says something about public health and healthcare delivery.
Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on Stadia the same day as console and PC
Precisely.

The available capacity is quite low. The media is saying there will be 1m treatments for US for next year, and 500k for whole EU.

Which leads to an awkward situation: the availability right now probably only justifies to offer this drug to more severely ill patients, to whom this drug probably makes less impact anyway.
Yep, great book!
You might individually feel like you've done nothing, but if tending to admin tasks enables your ICs to just focus on getting work done --without distraction-- you're actually a multiplying force within your organization.
I agree with your points.

I think it's the wording like you mention, in Lat-Am countries it is common to say "darle seguimiento a las entregas" or "rastrear entrega" as a way to signal that the person is responsible of making sure that things workout well including handling or helping out with any technical or communication roadblocks for the team.

>A social platform that makes information more accessible to people is a threat to democracy?

It's not about accessibility. It's about amplification that's gone wrong with Facebook. Facebook amplifies click-baity and emotion-driven content that is usually highly misleading and biased. The growing dominance of misleading and biased content/opinions is a threat to democracy.

Spanish does have silent letters, 'h' in hacer, is silent for example, and there are also words that are written the same and mean different things in different contexts, these words are called "homógrafas", some examples:

Amo - "master" and "loved"

Sal - "get out" or "salt"

Cerca - "close" or "fence"

And many more, and that's without getting into coloquial terms, for example in my country

Puya - "it stings" or "damn" as an euphemism for "puta"

I think English's biggest advantage is that it is easy to be understood in, it's writing, while inaccurate in terms of pronunciation, is easy to understand and learn

Dunno, but as a dev lead, onboarding new devs is huge - easing them into the project, make sure they get to do challenging work but aren't stressed too heavily or beyond their capacity, etc. Huge time commitment just to write clean, understandable stories for them to work while they are new.

> Companies do C/C++ linking to Electron itself in a web app?

That's one of the selling points of Electron, write your frontend in whatever JS framework your frontend devs want to use, provide hooks through node modules to your application where the heavy lifting is done using whatever language/runtime you want.

> Do they also do C/C++ linking to the browser for the web app version fo the app?

If a web version can exists (Electron apps cover spaces that web apps can't), and it's identical to your Electron app, then your Electron app never needed to be written in the first place.

Agreed. The end goal is usually to make developers as productive as possible, which means a) giving them large contiguous blocks of coding time, and b) removing roadblocks (i.e. crap)

The "crap" can be politics, legal, ancient IT practices, useless meetings, constant demands for status/updates, bickering around cost/budgets, hiring, buying time to fight tech debt, and a whole bunch of other things.

Except battery and tyres.

So battery costs about 4000 and lasts around 4 years. So I drive 60km, 6 days a week, say 45 weeks. So thats about .06 Rs per km.

Tyres last about 70k km, and cost 18k to change all 4, so thats another .25 Rupees per km.

So total cost is about .8 Rupees per km, including battery and tyres.

Or about 1 US cents per km.

You can’t just put all the “many” people in the same bucket. I hate this so much now in various circles. I also saw someone else with a similar idea: “why is there a second wave, are so many people anti maskers and non COVID believers?”. No, people had enough of the fumbling and incoherent messages, people are tired and the world is made up not just of developers that can work from home and see this pandemic from their windows while ordering food online, most of the people can’t afford to lose their jobs or stay at home. The whole world adopted this toxic US us vs. they model where everyone who doesn’t agree with you on everything is an ignorant fool and your enemy.

Instead of acting with compassion and trying to convince people of the dangers of this disease, but also providing some sort of perspective of where we are going, we’re just calling everyone who has a different opinion an anti-* and be done with it.

yeah, I agree Sciter is a beautiful piece of software. If It goes the way of unreal engine model. that would be great. projects not generating revenue will use the product, and projects with revenue will fund for development. everyone wins. and if you wanna see source code, you pony up some cash. I'm not too hung up on seeing the code, but rather would've something that works and performs. reason, linux lags behind on desktop is cause usability is not given priority, but code being open source is.
