Basically.. and this is somewhat lay: in quantum mechanics, there is fundamental randomness. Part of that randomness means that in space, virtual pairs of particles can be formed right at the barrier between being able to escape and not escape.

Normally, these particles annihilate each other - however if one crosses the threshold and is not able to escape, it can't annihilate the other particle and that escapes as radiation.

At this point even JIRA and Microsoft 365 have dropped support for IE11. The majority of big corporates have either moved to Chrome or are hurriedly doing so.

However, there are presumably old computers in far-off corners of the world that still use IE11. I wonder what will happen there...
From what is sold, advertised and extolled: A 'smart' home is a privacy-invasive, locked-in ecosystem which provides questionable, novelty benefits at best.

To me a true smart home would be out of the way, not make itself an object of attention, not something that changes my behaviours, and not have me beholden to a corporation; I argue that smart homes today are not smart at all, just normal devices with different interfaces.

A smart-smart home would know when to vacuum, not vacuum on a schedule. It would know when to take the rubbish out, to keep the lights off if I'm sleeping in, and if I want some coffee. It would do all of this offline, without dialling home and without my life collapsing if the system fails or the power goes out.

If this sounds too far fetched, that's because it's really smart!
The “Eat What You Kill” execution strategy (2015)
This is entirely false. Because while Blizzard, the NBA, and every other "American" company was busy sucking up to China in the last year, Tim Sweeney blatantly stated players in his games should feel free to support Hong Kong.

Epic didn't bow to China like other American companies did. And Epic didn't even stay silent. Epic made a clear statement in opposition to China.

That should've put to bed any of this silly "it's controlled by China" nonsense. Tencent just likes having a good stake in a company that prints money.

I work for a 100M rev/year company as well and we used to run our ecommerce site on-prem as well.

Just saying spend isn't the only factor here.
The number of educators with terrible communications skills is a real problem, and I'm not talking about language/cultural differences, either. In higher education, with the focus on research and publish-or-perish over teaching, there are many disincentives to effective communication and writing is constrained to the academic style.

This is Hawking radiation, which I'm sure wikipedia can explain better than me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation

> A pair of virtual waves/particles arises just beyond the event horizon due to ordinary quantum effects. Very close to the event horizon, these always manifest as a pair of photons. It may happen that one of these photons passes beyond the event horizon, while the other escapes into the wider universe ("to infinity"). A close analysis shows that the exponential redshifting effect of extreme gravity very close to the event horizon almost tears the escaping photon apart, and in addition very slightly amplifies it. The amplification gives rise to a "partner wave", which carries negative energy and passes through the event horizon, where it remains trapped, reducing the total energy of the black hole. The escaping photon adds an equal amount of positive energy to the wider universe outside the black hole. In this way, no matter or energy ever actually leaves the black hole itself. A conservation law exists for the partner wave, which in theory shows that the emissions comprise an exact black body spectrum, bearing no information about the interior conditions.
At this point, desktop apps are not the domain of enterprise. They tend to be consumer focused, particularly for creatives (video, audio, graphics, etc. etc.). Most of the development for these apps takes place in smaller contexts (not necessarily startups). It also tends to require skills that most programmers these days don't have in abundance (largely because of the industry structure that you describe above).

But none of that will involve Swing or JavaFX etc., because these are just not performant enough for the type of apps that are still required to remain native/desktop.

I run a mid-size highly complex native/desktop FLOSS project, and it is just jaw-dropping for me to encounter people who say they have 5-16 years experience as a software developer but cannot consider compiling software. This happens regularly in the context of our project.
It's still pretty immature and buggy, so unless you have no problem fixing blocking issues yourself I'll suggest waiting until it becomes more mature.
Yeah! The general case of this is the halting problem...
The best solution I know of is stopify, which the other comments have talked about. I just wonder if there's another take on the situation, something akin to OS task management.
Yes its about matter-antimatter (or different spin?) particles forming spontaneously from energy on the edge of event horizon, one falling in and another escaping.

At least that's my super-layman recollection, a lot of space to be wrong in that 1 sentence.
Seems like other countries do it just fine, just not the US.
I think it just means something different than the norm. "I'm having a moment" can be something positive in certain contexts.
> Pretty much everything you would need access to (HL7, CCDA, SNOMED, LOINC, ICD-10, etc) is freely available now!

The AMA’s CPT-4, incorporated as a component of HCPCS, is not free, and is the mandated code set for most professional procedure coding.

And while otherwise that may be true for most of what you need for core EMR functionality, everyone wants EMR and billing/insurance transaction handling to be modules of the same core system (because you are going to need both, and they need to interface smoothly to avoid a whole lot of operational friction), and most of the mandatory billing/insurance standards are decidedly not gratis; older versions of at least the X-12 standards in this space were subsidized by CMS and available for free, but that hasn't been the case for the versions required since 2010. And that's just basic transaction standards, a lot of the code set standards are also proprietary.

(In addition to not being free, the standards in this space are exceptionally poorly written, ambiguous, self-contradictory, and incorporate vast quantities of external material, often also not free, by reference—and often not hyperlinks, but “here is the name of the document and the postal address from which you can contact the entity from which you can order it.”)
And Epic isn't asking for a benefit for themselves: They're using those billions to fight for not just themselves, but thousands of smaller developers. Over two hundred of them joined Epic's little "app dev union" of sorts recently.

Journalistic spread of Covid-19 misinformation
It kind of doesn't. Stuff doesn't actually 'escape' a black hole to form Hawking radiation, rather, negative stuff goes in.

Photon pairs form in the vacuum all the time. When a pair forms at the event horizon of a black hole, it rips the pair apart. Half falls in, and half shoots out into space. The half the falls in, through the effect that rips the pair apart, winds up with negative energy, lowering the energy level of the black hole.

First of all, Intellij (and Visual Studio) are more than just LSP. They're debugging, source control, static analysis, test runners, profiling tools, database tools, etc.

Secondly, the state of LSP clients is a long way from matching Visual Studio or Intellij. When LSP is competitive with the major IDEs, I'll happily switch, but I don't see that in the next 5 years at least. As an example, try opening UE4 using any of the LSP implementations.
Just compare the value proposition to something like college. People will sacrifice quite a lot to get into the career they want to be in- and it's very often worth while.

I won't make the argument that this is preferable to fielding and accepting an offer immediately, because obviously it isn't. However, this is preferable to going unemployed for months on end or giving up and going back to unskilled work- which is the reality for many folks right now.

Isn't the financial implications of capex vs opex a huge consideration? I've heard that opex is is a lot simpler to account for. Technically once you get big enough cloud becomes more expensive. But hiring people to manage both your own datacenters and cloud services does complicate things. I find it understandable that companies are willing to pay more for cloud providers if their core business doesn't require expertise in cloud computing.
What cult of effort are you talking about? I think usually people outside a field underestimate both the talent required and the effort. Children can be even more obsessed than adults also and be completely laser focused.

You still can try to clarify what you are trying to say instead of being dismissive.

Let me try to reword it:

There's still low hanging fruit in OSM. There are still areas with official government GIS data that hasn't been imported to OSM. For example Irvine County in CA. I wanted to try it but I don't have the GIS skills. It would be nice if someone created a tutorial to teach the bare minimum GIS skills to do an import that is up to OSM standards. Importing whole counties would be a huge boost.

I think this argument can also be extended to cloud services, where the "OOP interface" analog is the CRUD site, queue, or other more horrible infrastructure used to give access from a client to a service.

> not bs domain stuff like "bowl", bowl is not a fundamental type of computer science like integer, bowl is just data and it should be treated as such

To an extreme: if your abstraction isn't formally verified, kill it?

Assuming as truth the idea that abstractions follow organizational structure, then only divide an organization when you have a formal abstraction for each division?

I wish there was a way to reason about this stuff that isn't so artful. I intuitively understand things like DRY, SOLID, etc, but being absolutely confident that they are true or whether they have been applied correctly is art, and I would prefer it to be math.

Interesting - do you have a reference for this? I've been waiting on this for ages.
based on one reply (very gratefully received), it is not ok to clone, reverse engineer, copyrighted software, then resell it (I've seen as much written into music sound libraries). But a grey area where other copyrighted material is cloned and re-sold.

This is a fascinatingly dark topic. I did not know a whole generation and more of people resented paying for certain items so strongly, especially those items that can be taken in ways that no one sees. This is not physically walking into a store and walking out with what you want, it's like being invisible and taking what you want, from wherever you can take. I can't help but think that if the invisibility were to be removed it wouldn't happen so freely. Moreover, at the same time, not just take, but ascertain some kind of 'right' to ignore ownership - copyright appears to exist for some things and not others, and apparently at the individuals discretion.
Should have specified a non-Apple ARM laptop. Cant edit that mistake.
So this new result is derived semiclassically, right? Which means it was derived using more or less the same assumptions Hawking used to derive Hawking radiation. So couldn't the same objection be made about the claim that black holes evaporate at all? After all, we also have no empirical data about that, and likely won't have such data for a long long time.
I disagree with the assumption that restricting Macs to the MAS would be profit-maximizing for Apple. The context and expectations are different, and such restrictions -- hobbling many uses of macOS -- would drive developers away from Macs to competing platforms. I'm not even sure what those restrictions would look like; can I not execute arbitrary Python code? Can I not install Python packages from PyPI? (And how are they going to stop me, exactly?) Can I not use clang to compile a C project? To what extent can MacOS really be locked down in a way that doesn't drive away any developer who's not making iOS apps?

And if the Mac software scene stagnates, Apple eventually loses their core constituency.
Thanks!
My second pet theory, is that a LOT of the keto/paleo/vegan etc diets are popular because of undiagnosed autoimmune conditions.

Been reading through support groups for years now. A noticeable cohort of people find relief via diet. Sugar=bad, mostly. But even things like tomatoes sometimes need to go.

Or conversely that the standard America Diet is so horrible, that if you have any possibility of an autoimmune condition, then diet will push you over the cliff.
Social Capital Emerging Managers
I really see no difference between trying to determine if someone is in to you based on how long they emphasize the y in hey versus trying to determine if someone is into you based on the number of times they repeat the letter y in heyyy.

I never claimed that social media leads to objectively greater social skills, there's no reason why being able to write a great email is inherently superior to being able to write a great telegraph message. However, one skill is undeniably more useful in this day and age. It does not matter if you call it a social skill or a technological skill, the fact remains that there are people who know how to communicate effectively via social media, and those who don't, and just because you are comfortable in the latter category does not mean your daughter will be too.

I agree. I got license for the JetBrains All product pack. It's been a huge boost in my productivity for Python and C++ because the refactoring tools make mundane things so much faster.

Also, templating is incredibly powerful. I avoid copy / paste in favor of typing or generating things out. Copy/Paste is a really bad pattern and the overhead of having to put the code in makes me think about abstracting it much earlier than if I just copied and pasting things.
Hyperventilating may help combat alcohol poisoning – National – Globalnews.ca
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the diagnosis of "crisis fatigue" but for the examples you give, here's a breakdown by my own very biased view. I'm leaving out Acid Rain because I never really was part of that discourse (too young) and didn't read about it after the fact either.

These four (IMHO) do actually pose clear and present dangers to human health & wellbeing at scale:

* Nuclear Weapons

* Smog

* Ozone

* Global Warming / Climate Change

They were identified as risks and (except for Ozone, which was actually tackled and is improving to my knowlege) continue to be shown as risks. Or rather, by now, as actually doing harm.

On the other hand, these two here were never the big catastrophes that they were made out to be, yet were (and are!) continually overblown.

* Drugs & Crime

* Terrorism

Neither of them ever had the existential threat potential that the other group had. Not-so-incidentally, the proposed "solutions" to these problems were always...

* highly profitable for certain industries

* useful for conservative re-elections

* based in little to no fact

* often (predictably) counter-productive.

Bottom line: if we had actually put time and money into existing, working solutions to measurable, actual problems, we would have been perfectly capable to do so. We did it for Ozone, we could have done it again. We didn't.

Instead, we put countless dollars and lives into "solving" problems that were pretty much caused by their "solutions", and mostly because that was in the best interest of very few people.

If people are tired of anything, I hope/suspect that they are tired of a political/economic system that predictably ended up producing this mess.
> If it makes economic sense for you to pay me $100k, making that conditional on where I live is just a jerk move.

If you can buy a product for $50 from one site and that's worth it to you but you can buy it for $35 from another site...

What was written is literally an argument for not trying to minimize expenditures. But it makes economic sense to minimize expenditures, that's business 101.

"Objective value" doesn't exist. Not only is it hard to determine because information is generally far from perfect, but the only thing that matters to actual people in the actual world is relative value (aka, incremental value).

That is to say: All decisions in life are about choosing your best option. Hiring is no different.
This test is widely available in the US from e.g., Counsyl[1].
