These are silly arguments. As someone that works on tooling a lot, we could be doing massively better. But there isn't enough demand.

- Slow overall economic growth

- Stick to shit like JS and there is now a glut of entry-level programmers

- QE and VC model is ridiculously supply-side already, could hardly sustain more.

- Very hard to capture value of new tooling when alternative is free.

Asking why we don't have the programming tooling we should have is not unlike asking why we don't have the subways we should have.

If someone wants to through more money at tooling anyways, do let me know! :D

it's different in specificity for one. you can also extend the config and create a color called `branding-primary` for example, then use that for anything you need to apply a color to. can do similar with css custom properties or sass/less variables

FWIW - Many places/people. Most, in my anecdotal experience.

- I've seen numerous condos in north america and Europe that do not have effectively openable windows, certainly not in quantity to properly vent the entire unit. So you couldn't if you wanted to.

- Some cultures have very differing perspectives; where I'm from, interior "Cross-winds" are deemed to be deadly. You will NOT open two windows at the same time anywhere in the house, ever, period. If any window happens to be open and a kid opens the front door, they'll be yelled at to close it ASAP lest... I dunno, something about their lower back?

- But most people I've spoken to / lived with, across countries and continents just don't bother / it doesn't occur to them. It's not a thing (this includes living with three host families in Minnesota in the 90's - none of them opened their windows much if at all, trusting their HVAC to take care of them. Two of them were medical professionals.

Official MSFS: Developer Q&A Live
I agree with your characterization of the article and had an initial head scratching with regard to that rust statement, in the context of the article it is correct. Rust certainly has built-in support for immutable data, it lacks what the author is calling ‘support for immutable data structures’. In particular, the author only seems to be considering support for persistent, immutable data structures, as referenced in all the functional language examples. Rust does not have any concept of an immutable list which is changed by simply adding a pointer to the unchanged part of the list to some new derived list. I think the author should have been more explicit in qualifying the immutable characteristic as persistent all the way through the article.
They are called air exchangers, basically the replace indoor air with outside air but pre-heat the outdoor air using a heat exchanger off the indoor air. So AQI definitely improves when they are run.

My house basically has a natural set point that the exchanger runs at per season. Much like my thermostat I can basically leave it at a setting for a season and it works well.

There are a few days I may have to slightly adjust things, usually when there's a big temp swing, so if it were more automated that'd be better but in general I have to maintain conditioned air in both the winter and summer to keep the house stable... and the house seems happier for it.
Yeah, although technically it's "out of scope", I think there are times when you should stop debating the technicalities and consider the business impact.

Yes and Iran has blamed Israel for the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was seen by Western intelligence services as the mastermind of a covert Iranian programme to develop nuclear weapons capability. Tehran has long denied any such ambition.
True, I'd be happy to self-host the meat of a system like this.

However, I suspect that the problem would benefit from cloud-scale compute. It's a fluid dynamics problem, which is just a lot of numbers to crunch. This might require more horsepower than a little ARM device can reasonably push out.
I'm sure it's just a level of optimization that's hard to solve because of a few reasons. a) it's a fairly hard technology problem. Large container ships can carry 20k containers. If each of those has a spot, and you have to optimize, the search space is suddenly looking like 20,000!, which is just a wildly big number. So assuming you have some sort of technological solution and know where every container should go, b) you need to move all the logistics around so that containers arrive in the correct order to get loaded in the correct spots.

You need to do all this just to massively increase the complexity of your billing model to offer slightly different rates of insurance. I'm sure there are teams looking at ways to make this better (just stipulate in the contract that any super valuable containers arrive early so they're loaded lower), but this is a HARD problem to solve completely.
I refuse to install this junk, it's Google Meet or bust for us and so far that has served us well.

Reported information leaking from password fields back in Windows 8 days.

I was even busier back then than now and found no application besides getting information about an already filled in password, but I was still massively underwhelmed by the response which basically boiled down to "that's funny, thanks, bye".

Last year I found a really ugly glitch were you can easily get files unencrypted past an older (but still available) version of Azure Information Protection tooling.

This time I haven't bothered to report it yet.
Damn, my point went impressively far over your head huh.
They're already binning the M1 between the two models of the Macbook Air; one has a 7 core GPU, the other has an 8 core. They haven't outright said this is due to binning, but it seems very likely. Will probably be similar for upper-end models, but more CPU variations as well.

They're fabbing with TSMC, which has a really established history in high yields. Just think about the A13/A14 CPUs, which are probably the most voluminous single CPU models every fabricated by a company, yet have never been subject to binning to other lower or higher end models. As the chips get more complicated naturally there will be more fabrication issues, so I expect we'll see more binning, but it doesn't look like there's much cause for concern.
> I wish somebody would design a modern typesetting system...

In theory yes, but I think the problem is that it will never be adopted. Too much of academia is built on the deep assumption that LaTeX is the only possible format that people write documents in.

I think one possible way out is to start a new from-scratch TeX engine that is built in such a way that a new typesetting language (or "front end" if you like) can be added to it. This may lead to some reasonable slow migration strategies.
My current apartment has a range hood without any exhaust vent. What the hell is that supposed to do?!
Exactly. A chip design team as large as Apple's costs hundreds of millions of dollars in salaries alone. Mask costs in 5nm are about $30 million. EDA physical design tools have list prices of over $1 million per license.
> Wasn't the whole point of CSS to separate presentation from data

Well, no, not really. It was intended to stem the tide of HTML devolving entirely into a presentation language, but H.W.Lie's thesis[1] makes it quite clear that HTML was always expected to remain a middle ground mish-mash of structure, content, and presentation, one in which everyday authors could still intuitively grasp the purpose of standard elements, and over which CSS would then supply some contextual visual order.

The fundamental notion of CSS is a rich and versatile and non-Turing-complete set of overlaying structural selectors, a design somewhat in reaction to the perceived inapproachability and abstraction of DSSSL; something that still pains me even two decades after that battle was lost.

It's unlikely ever to be native in browsers. Native DANE code was proposed in Firefox and actually landed in Chrome, which later removed it, because it (a) didn't work reliably on the actual Internet, and (b) in fallback mode, amounts to adding just one more CA to the pile of CAs Chrome already has to trust.

When a CA can be shown to have misissued a certificate, Google can (and has, as it did in the Symantec case) distrust it, nuking the CA from orbit. It has no such powers with a CA baked into the DNS; Google can't distrust .COM. People should be careful what they wish for.

But not too careful in this case; DNSSEC is moribund, and unlikely to be revived.

Watch the Nike Evolution of trainers 1964-2020
I went down the rabbit hole of air quality testing devices a couple years ago. The bottom line, AFAICT, it is not easy to accurately test air quality cheaply. Whenever I would find a device that claimed to test air quality I would find reviews by people who were testing that device that stated either;

It came miscalibrated from the factory.

OR

After a short period it would no longer be calibrated.

Turns out keeping an air quality testing device calibrated properly is really really hard, and definitely not cheap. So maybe the computing side of this is not really all the difficult, but the physical measurement side of this is absolutely not easy.

Eventually I gave up trying to find a device for my home because I realized I would have to really dig into the science hard, and I would have to spend more money than I was willing. And I was unwilling to do either.
I've thought about this basic business idea a lot. And there are businesses that already exist using this model, using dollars. The problem you run into is the transaction costs and overhead. The savings are a long tail distribution situation. So the current providers only target very large clients. There are tons of smaller opportunities that on paper have a great rate of return, but it is hard to get the overhead and transaction cost low enough to make the numbers work. Look at this structure as a way to lower the transaction costs and overhead of attacking this market. I'm excited they are trying.

A couple from my pet peeve list -

1) ATOMIC COMMITS

Nothing worse than a single commit, to address 10 separate comments. I don't want to have to go back, and cross reference my comments with your wall of changes

2) DO NOT SELF RESOLVE A COMMENT

Wait for the reviewer to checkout your solution, I want to learn through your fix, aswell as make sure it's what I expected.
This is a leak article, not in depth tech article. Nobody can write a tech article till they get the numbers or get their hands on the product. Mark Gruman has reliable sources and can get the leak faster and more consistently true.
> What IS it about Apple...?

I guess you haven't been around for the past 20-30 years? They're part of a culture war that they helped create surrounding Mac vs PC, iOS vs Android.

Steve Jobs even created these types of wars in-house. (e.g. the new Mac team vs everybody else - see The Pirates of Silicon Valley) Business is war.

People choose sides and they must defend their choice out of pride. It's like Ford vs Chevy.

Beyond that - Apple is very much against putting general computing freedom in the hands of users especially in iOS but also definitely in macOS. Lots of people hate a tyrant and don't want to work with them and will try to convince people who don't care about that to join them. And of course there are people who disagree.

So that's basically where you get all the anti/pro Apple argumentation.
Of course. These are ostensible goals. The goals don't have to be realized, in order for the hope to appear.
I do similar things, but a few weeks ago I had to learn, that many of the issues I had with the online Spotify Player (slow loading times, incomplete pages, not playing music) were caused by the included ServiceWorker. Gladly I could disable it in my Firefox Profile and now everything works just fine.

Maybe the local version wouldn't have had that problem.
I would disagree. I won't downplay the very real risk of air pollution, but unstable oven temperature can make it difficult to cook meat to a safe temperature, greatly increasing risk of foodborne illness.

The requirements are not necessarily equal, but you can't disregard safe temperature guidelines unless you never make food with raw meat or eggs.
They have already shown they can. APUs from Intel and AMD already combine CPU, GPU, and video decoding/encoding on a single chip.

Loading is already very complex and takes special knowledge and more and more software to balance the ship and keep the loading-process efficient. Dangerous goods are separated from the quarters as much as possible for example. I'm sure the process already includes variables like value.

But I also assume that overall, unless we talk about unique items like artwork, not enough containers are lost to put much weight on the value of the contents compared to everything else.
Young people are used to learning. If they have just come out of school or tertiary education they will still retain a mindset that will help them absorb training more readily. As they don’t have a huge amount of previous experience young people are essentially a ‘blank slate.’ This affords their employer an opportunity to develop a workforce of young people specifically trained to meet their organisation’s needs.
>Yup, it's amazing how intelligence sources get passes 100% of the time. "High ranking CIA source says..." is assumed to be 100% true.

That 100% are just not true, every respectable paper and or journalist know that there is quite a big chance that your are being used, not just from Services but also from Company's, just have a look at Elon's Hyperloop and the massive Fan-hype (even in the University Space (which is kind of super-sad))
I am in that boat after some painful experiences with my 2018 Macbook Pro. Battery bloated and wrecked the keyboard and touchpad. That combined with the OS continued to go be "iOSified" I am out. Back to Linux for me. The phone... that is harder, Android phones just aren't as good as iPhones, and that is okay. The quality of both Macbooks and MacOS have been in decline for some time now and it is quite disappointing. Even simple things that used to just work like migration assistant required me to deal with errors in the process and it was not simple.
I think the the key is to have multiple sensing and acting devices working together to create and act on a high-quality model of the interior environment.

My preference would be to self-host that model and the associated controls. I suspect this would require some meaningful compute capability in-house.

Tencent Updates Their “Direct Memory File-System” Proposal for Linux
Yeah, I was firmly in the "gas is best for cooking because of the control and the amount of heat it produces" camp, but since we got a decent induction hob I would never go back to gas. It cooks even faster(the largest 2500W ring at full power is a serious thing) than gas, with full control and the cleanup is stupidly easy because nothing ever burns to the surface, unlike many gas/ceramic ranges.
I think the original concept of using inline styles in your React components was truly a leap forward in terms of styling DX. It seems like most of the developments since (CSS in JS, Tailwind) have just been more inefficient ways of implementing that core inline styles concept. Ok, these new solutions give you pseudo classes, but those can easily be replicated in JS. Beyond that, I don't see the upside of the additional complexity these solutions bring vs plain inline styles.
Most innovative ideas at first seem like bad ideas. Flipping conventional wisdom on its head takes a while.

I would want to treat it as a customer interview, asking them about specific situations where they had to negotiate customer needs, how they decide what features are proper and what are extraneous, and how they get buy-in from the team to implement [desired, necessary, relevant] stuff.

Have they ever worked on a product before it had achieved a sense of product-market-fit, and if so, how did they help it get there?

When they did not feel content in their role, what was lacking? And when they did feel content in their role, what were the great elements that set it a cut above the rest?
“Voting” for pre-selected candidates in rigged elections without a way to hold the elected accountable to their promises, basically means the citizens have zero means but strikes/violent protests. (This is true in most non-Western “democracies”.)

Finally! This is something I've been wanting for years. There's always been this midpoint of complexity when making spreadsheets that coworkers will use. Including macros scares them away but using long, un-named formulas does not even though it is much less clear what it's doing.
The full power of a macro was not needed, only a label and some arguments to lower the cognitive load.
