Disclaimer: I make an app that is basically WYSIWYG SwiftUI for designers (https://www.detailspro.app).

I think the author put it best with "If you've undergone the mental paradigm shift, the productivity gains were worth the minor setbacks, which really weren’t so hard to fix."

My career has included periods where I had a React day job and a bunch of iOS side projects. So many times, I'd come home from work, stoked on React, and look at iOS and wish it were declaratively already. I actually took a stab at an open source, declarative UI library that's still on GitHub.

SwiftUI, IMO, brings the smarts of React, with many dashes of magic that only Apple HIG magic that only Apple could come up with. Definitely, there are plenty of holes today, but I never, ever, ever have to hook up a UITableViewDataSource and a UITableViewDelegate ever again, and for that I am infinitely thankful.

Looking purely ahead at SwiftUI and what it will do for Apple platform years from now. I recommend anybody who is thinking about it to try it out.

Soon enough, I'll forget the signatures of the UITableView stuff, and other UIKit stuff, happily.

I believe serious remote workers should optimize their home working environment. It is an investment. But the problem is most people was forced to working remotely without any preparation and motivation - people end up complaining remote working while working with laptop in the couch.

I have a chair which is suits me perfectly, a big standing desk which is not wobbling at all, and 3 monitors with premium stands which are tuned just for me. It's much easier for a remote worker to setup everything that suits you, and it's much harder to adjust workplaces to make everybody happy.
I am almost 40. Recently learned wave boarding, a new language (indian) and a few cooking things during pandemic.

Just when pandemic started I realized I am happiest when I am learning something. There is something to look forward to every day.

Most of my new skills come because of my son. We do it together. He is faster at learning physical stuff, i am good at finding small improvements

It's been fun

It's also used on at least two mobile OS's - Sailfish OS and Plasma Mobile.
While I understand your frustration, I would quarrel a bit with you calling that iPhone 4 "useless".

Even with the base OS software, you've still got a great music player, a great video player, a multi-function timer/stopwatch/alarm clock, a web browser, a camera, digital maps, a calendar, email, etc.
Yes! The second book is heavily influenced by the first.

The first one (Edgerton) is history, with the argument being roughly that we should frame the history of technology not just in terms of inventions/innovations, but also in terms of what was actually in use at a particular moment. (So the early 21st century is about self-driving cars and the iPhone, but also the Haber-Bosch Process and COBOL.)

The second book is more about the present, and is concerned with how we tend to talk too much about innovation and not enough about maintenance. (So they love Right to Repair and Open Source maintainers, among other things.)
They are catering to children, literally. I've been using the site for a few years and have noticed more often than not when a set of comments seems especially naive its because I've been talking to teenager.

Any COBOL contractors that can tell what the pay/hour is? First hand experience please, rumors I've read them all already.
Not so much incompetent but I get the distinct impression that they have way too many developers trying to add features to something that, going by the way old.reddit.com has barely changed, was feature complete about 5 years ago.
I hate to be seen this nakedly aggro, but reddit is broken ruins.

Obligatory cred: first used reddit in...2006? Used it to chat with friends around the world on subjects of mutual interest. It was fun, of course. I've mainly lurked since then.

Now? If one sifts through the records there is great info in there, but most subs I want to enjoy are overrun with, how to say, self-congratulatory amateurs. It's neither useful nor entertaining.

Even joke subs feel tired and decadent.

Meanwhile, mob rule downvoting pervades.

It is broken.

Good riddance.
One difference from here than other developed countries is that America has a lot of rich people. Not just super rich that you hear about on the news, but tons of millionaires. The software salaries at FAANG are true, but basically every industry has a cream at the top that makes absurd money compared to what they would make in other countries. Doctors, dentists, lawyers, military contractors, salesmen, stock traders, fast food franchisees - every state in the US has a sizable pool of millionaires. And while the tax rates that someone making $800k salary vs. $80k salary aren’t hugely different, 37% of $800k is a hell of a lot more total than 30% of $80k. And that’s where the bulk of the taxes are made - not from the poor, or the middle class, or even the super rich that often game everything, but the upper middle class / “normal” rich.

The average annual salary in 1900 was in the range of $450. That's about $14k today. What's worse, that when norms dictated a ~60 hour week and households, even at the low end of the spectrum, were often single earner.

While "rich" is over stating it, based on purely inflationary measures $20k in 2020 (or $645 in 1900) was not bad pay.
Worldwide stats are a lot less important than addressable market stats.

The result of Bayesian inference is a whole posterior distribution, not just a confidence interval. Any attempt to produce a frequentist version of a posterior distribution is either going to end up just being Bayesian inference in disguise, or be inconsistent.

But even if we focus just on confidence intervals and credible intervals, there needn't be the equivalence you state. A comment elsewhere here discusses a ridiculous confidence interval that is either the whole parameter space or the empty set. That's never going to be what a Bayesian credible interval gives you.
As an ad-supported service, I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit refuse to serve clients that don’t show ads. On the other hand, I don’t think their API that Apollo is using includes ads. Same deal with third-party Twitter clients. I wonder if their are examples of similar ad-supported services that included ads in the API, and required the developer of the third-party client to implement ad support?
> Why make them look at and manipulate all the transformed statements

Broadly speaking, because it's useful to have a marker of "was this statement derived via a proof by contradiction, or something like that?", and using the negative form is a sensible way of showing this.

> In my field (topology), ... at the proof level everything is classical.

On the contrary, constructive logic is found quite naturally (even in ordinary mathematics!) as the "internal language/logic" of some structures that are of interest to topologists. HoTT itself was designed as a logical foundation that works naturally with homotopies.
Also the two of you will more likely than not have come from the same background and traveled similar paths - precisely the opposite of talent diversity one must be striving for.
By Arch standards Debian “unstable” or “testing” would be branded “stable.” If you can choose Arch stable for normal use, then you can do the same for Debian unstable too.
> Is the team responsible for it just pro-UIKit and doesn’t actually want people to use SwiftUI or something? Because the lack of documentation for so long really does give me the impression that they actually don’t want people to use it.

This makes it sound like GP's theory is at least plausible
I've tried Hasura and it worked fine, but went with Postgraphile at the time because it was much easier to integrate into an already existing REST nodejs API. Plus I like the fact that Postgraphile leverages the database as much as possible, whilst Hasura implements things that could be done by the database. It's also much easier to extend Postgraphile, you just use Postgraphile as a library in your nodejs project and add as needed, allowing you to run entirely from one codebase. With Hasura you have to use schema stitching to extend its functionality, meaning you have to keep 2 pieces running instead of 1. When it comes to developer experience, Postgraphile is rather bare in its default form, you definitely want to add a bunch of plugins to make the resulting GraphQL side as powerful as you need it to be. Hasura is much more of a blackbox, you set it up and what you see is what you get. Postgraphile is much easier to mold into exactly what you want.

In the end they are projects with semi-same goals but different approaches. I went with Postgraphile and I haven't regretted it one bit, but no reason you can't try both, they are easy to set up and get a lay of the land.

Scroll down on certain Amazon listings and you'll find similar graphics from the seller. The difference here is that atleast the Japanese ones look nice.
Apologies if this was mentioned in the article or discussion (didn't see it but also didn't read every last word) but what's wrong with having the device generate its own CA cert that it uses to issue a server cert for itself. The CA cert can be imported into the user's browser as a trusted CA enterprise style either via http (if still allowed) or through OOB paths such as USB/uSD or some hack such as SMB?

Disclosure: we implemented this approach in a project I work on and...so far so good.
> The middle and lower classes pay basically 0 tax, or even get refunds (negative taxes)

This is a common misunderstanding of how taxes work, or specifically what refunds mean. Getting a refund does not mean you paid zero or negative tax. Getting a refund simply means that you had more tax withheld than you should have. The tax withheld from your regular paycheck is not authoritative, it's just a prepayment of your estimated tax bill for the year, and it is almost always slightly inaccurate.

You can see this for yourself assuming you earn above the poverty line. Your tax return has three fields related to this: total tax withheld, total taxable income, and the tax owed given your taxable income. Getting a refund just means the tax withheld is greater than the tax owed. The total tax owed on your tax return is the tax you actually paid for the year, and for the vast majority of people it is >$0 even if they get a refund. In fact, the approximate tax paid on the median US household income (~$68k) would be ~$13k (assuming the household files a joint married return) which is decidedly non-zero.

This is patently false. The following are all ways you can stand out for a junior position:

- Attending a university that is hard to get into and has a strong CS program

- Having an impressive GPA

- Winning academic or software-related awards

- Having commendable accomplishments in software-related "extracurriculars", such as hackathons etc

- Whiteboard coding ability

I've done numerous junior interviews for FANG companies. They are extremely liberal in handing out interviews, and doing well in these interviews will guarantee a job offer. "Connections" has almost zero correlation to how you're graded in these interviews. Being unlucky can trip you up every now and then. But if you get rejected from every single FANG company, I guarantee you it's not because of luck.
You can jailbreak it to get that.

I don't think apple is looking to beat android in marketshare, but instead in profits. They are mostly not interested in selling cheaper commodities, and instead work hard for premium differentiation (and maximal value capture of the whole ecosystem around premium smartphones with services and peripherals).

Besides, if they did win smartphone marketshare too hard, they risk regulation on the amount of control they enjoy of their platforms, which might harm their profits.
Budgeting is often quite fungible and you can replace where to spend new money by replacing old money.

I would say that 60% of taxes might be raised for health and education this way.

The Federal Reserve is rolling out an instant payment system called FedNow in 2023. It’s design and implementation languished until Congressional pressure with concerns about Zelle becoming a dominant payment platform as a private entity (owned by Early Warning Systems).

A separate issue is the Fed exploring creation of “digital currency”, essentially deposit accounts at the central bank. That was encouraged by the threat of Facebook’s Libra and China’s “digital yuan”.

Thanks! It's amazing what you can get done with optimization vs horizontal scaling.

What would you say are the current failure modes? Say for a t3a.nano, what combination of payload size/queue length/rps/other parameters would absolutely mandate an upgrade in capability?
This is not the same thing. I agree with the link, in that it is most definitely a hack. This only works because your domain registrar is handling email for you to begin with, which is undesirable for many reasons.

Also, while aliases in gmail work generally, I find they leak the main gmail account address, which makes them significantly less desirable.

Most instruments that use keys for action use traditional piano key arrangements.

The reason that pianos are built to such a strict standard is that they are huge and heavy, so individual musicians generally can't just bring their own pianos from concert to concert.
Seconding this.

OP, you and I disagree on at least one or two things. However, I respect the fact that you have very strong belief's and are willing to stick by them. I'd like to here more.
> You can’t just say something like this without backing it up. Let’s hear it!

From the FAQ:

"In order to claim your USPTO, European Union, or equivalent government entity in a foreign country registered trademarked domain name during the Sunrise Period, you MUST fill out this form on the Handshake.org website. Only the verified or pending trademark holder or a registered agent thereof can claim a trademark pending or trademarked name…"

"Existing TLDs and over 100,000 Alexa websites are reserved on the Handshake blockchain."

It's not clear to me how this is "decentralized" or "permissionless". If that were true, I'd expect that dispute resolution (for example) would be impossible. The bits of the FAQ I quoted above suggest centralized gatekeepers. Am I misunderstanding?

> 2. Buy Almost Always Beats Build

The prices for a good buy make no sense to an existing business (without VC infuse). RENT beats build.

> System A needs building blocks X,Y,Z to work

When an American company buys a product with assurances that certain qualities exist (even as small as a $10k purchase), roughly 95% of the time it will fall short. You will have to build some hack solution (which the seller is usually happy to point out) or just ignore the missing feature. There's usually very little you can cannibalize out of a purchased product sourcecode in a full rewrite.

There was a 1 in 25+ cases as an exception, in my career. My company A was purchasing another european company B at over $100m with a full audit clause prior. My team was flown out to the UK and worked on Company B's technology for a couple weeks. It operated exactly as expected with the capabilities they presented (as the audit assured) when we brought the code back to the developers in the US...with branding changes, etc.

> 5. QA Gates Make Quality Worse
> Secondly, the teams doing QA often lack context and are under time pressure. They may end up testing “effects” instead of “intents”.

A lot of this is finger pointing. If you don't tell the QA what or why, the tests can't be written to infer this. If the tests can't be maintained, you have a failing QA dept, not a barrier to quality by the mere existence of the gates.

> 7. Simple Always Wins

Then you don't need to BUY it, just BUILD it.

> 8. Non-Production Environments Have Diminishing Returns

You want at least 3, maybe 4.

- Dev (that should be a local docker env).

- Managed Test (for QA to always use).

(-) Ephemerals for testing deploys, scaling, etc

- Prod (Prod)
a Minecraft clone in hardware means all code is hardware?
This actually sounds like the worst of both worlds. The number one feature of Go is simplicity. In service to that simplicity it deliberately left out a lot of features such as destructors and generics. And the thing is, the language works for its purposes. However, if you subvert that simplicity, it doesn't have the tools and abstractions to make using manual memory safer (destructors, generics, etc). My guess is you follow this path, you will be accumulating technical debt at a very high interest rate.
To be able to use the road at all requires buying a car, which is expensive. No such barriers in park use. Let's be clear, roads are for wealthy people, not the poor.

It's a great resource for sure. If you scroll down to the bit on software architecture - that's the part I'm wanting to understand better by picturing it. Again probably just a "newbie in the deep end" situation, I'm sure it'll all click eventually.
I mean that everything you can do in X11 you can do in Wayland. That's feature completeness, right? The big issue seems to be that Wayland doesn't actually _do_ much. So everyone has to agree on how to handle copy/paste, screen sharing, etc. And sometimes Gnome and wlroots do things differently, and that causes problems. But it has nothing to do with the Wayland compositor not being feature complete.

X11 (aka X, because older versions haven't been relevant in decades) is a protocol/architecture for GUIs. The X.Org Foundation is a group that maintains the Xorg server (the engine that actually draws graphics somewhere) as well as several X protocol client libraries (used by applications), other server implementations, and associated tools. libX11 is the primary client library.

https://magcius.github.io/xplain/article/x-basics.html is probably a good place to start, as is the official documentation (indexed at https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/index.html , but the stuff at the top may not be what you want - you probably want to start with the protocol docs https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/xproto/x11protocol.ht... or perhaps the libX11 docs https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/libX11/libX11/libX11.... ).
