Words like "any effects" and "safe" have broader meanings than the way they are used in type systems. I ask that you be a bit more precise in your advocacy.

I can replace a sorting method having O(N log N) time with one having O(N^2) time, without changing the type. But it will certainly have an effect on my system, and if the run-time is too long, may result in an unsafe system (eg, in a real-time control system which requires a maximum response time).

While I know what you mean, "bad code" includes things like unacceptable performance.

I also find it hard to understand how to apply type systems to algorithms. What is the type of an algorithm which returns a graph diameter, and how does it differ from one returning the graph eccentricity or other graph property?

(That's where "same values for the same arguments" comes in, but that's that hard part of the problem, yes?)

That is a good rule of thumb, however, by no means a tautology.
No, it will improve society overall because it will lead to significantly higher accountability and consequences for criminals who are caught. There is no logic or evidence to your claim that “anything short of perfect will absolutely ruin people's lives”. We already live in an imperfect world. It will never be perfect. Facial recognition with humans in the loop will lead to a far higher ratio of bad people facing consequences to good people incorrectly identified. It is a net improvement for society and it is much more reasonable to claim it will “absolutely improve people’s lives”.
Would be curious what the differences in the Moderna vaccine are (at this level - I know the lipids are different).
I respectfully disagree with your central thesis - that the soul of design in UX has been lost. What is the soul of design? I would argue that it’s improving the human experience. Graphic design does this by creating beauty, industrial design by creating valued products, UX design does this by improving interfaces.

Reusing common elements across UIs is a good thing. People complain about the “standard” splash page layout, or the stereotypical web-app styling... but Jakob’s Law is real, and users don’t want to learn another damn UI paradigm, they want to use your product to solve their problems. Reuse simplifies learning and so is a massive positive from an end-user perspective, and making the user’s life better is the designers role.

As you’ve noted, Figma is not infinitely flexible. For graphic design this would be a drawback, as novelty is heavily rewarded. But for UX design? Novelty is less important, and correctly communicating how a design should be implemented is much more essential to a user’s experience. And if I need maximum flexibility I can always use another tool.

I’m not claiming everything is perfect in Figma or the industry - but I think the doom is overstated.

We have over 80 different COVID vaccines today if you look at the COVID vaccine tracker. Next year it will be at least 120.

In Spain alone they have 3 different vaccines that are not even in phase 1, but will be next year.

There will be at least 5 totally different technologies against it. There are "slower to market" technologies than RNA but stronger and proven.

Yes, it requires probably a bit of training: The trick is not to fight gravity, but rather use it (think Jiu Jitsu in orbit). It is meant to closely replicate the classical mechanics of Spacewar.

Compare J.M. Graetz's description:

> The first result of this new attention to strategy was the opening move in Figure 3, which was quickly dubbed the "CBS opening" because of its eye-like shape. It took a while to learn this maneuver but it soon became the standard opening among experienced players, as it generally produced the most exciting games.

(See https://www.masswerk.at/spacewar/spacewar_origins/spacewar-f... for figure 3.)

This is accomplished by aligning your spaceship perpendicularly to the central star and firing your thruster for two or three seconds. There are various variations to this and it works both ways (cw and ccw). Like in Spacewar, the power of the rocket is just barely enough to escape towards the edge by keeping thrusting in a diagonal direction, but this will take a while. So the better option might be a slingshot around the "sun" in order to establish an orbit.
I bought a current model on Amazon, about 6 months ago, but was really disappointed. I have a rooted Nook Glowlight, years old, yet I find it much better.

The Dasung had several 'modes' you could choose, but none worked well. Worse, their software is closed source, is fairly buggy, and requires root for zero reason. I felt very uncomfortable about installing it, and didn't.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Paperlike/comments/au0yuc/dasung_on...

Without the software installed, you have to manually hit the 'refresh' button. This is done to clear up errant pixels aka a screen flash. Yet the refresh process was slow, so to test, rather than let their questionable software do it, I hit the manual button on the monitor.

The flash on/off was highly annoying, and I couldn't imagine reading text, coding, working this way once the software was installed.

Customer service from dasung was non-existent. I had to return it.

I so much want an e-ink display.
The irritating part is that Google used to penalize websites dramatically if the user couldn't get to the content but the search engine could.

We’ll have to wait for actual science to come in to answer that. They’re just making inferences from epidemiology and gene sequences. None of this actually does anything to confirm their hypothesis.
I don't get this question. Automation is the job.

We (mostly) don't code in assembly anymore because there are compilers. Your can say that writing high level code (merely "configuring things" in your parlance) is more "boring" than say, register hacks, but that's a bit shallow. (Also, something something leaky abstractions making the whole "it'll only be configuring things!" kind of a moot point.)

Consider programmers from the 80s/90s or early 00s. The ones that still have jobs today are the ones that have kept up with trends and adapted, or otherwise had the luck of being at a place that hasn't. It's the same for the future. Stagnate on old tech, have your career die on the old tech.

I should point out that the additional instructions in the IBM 1401 required additional hardware, so you weren't paying for IBM to just move a jumper.

For instance, the multiply/divide feature cost $333 per month (in 1960s dollars), but it required the installation of 183 circuit boards (each the size of a playing card) so you were getting your money's worth.

More curious was the Sterling currency option, which provided arithmetic in pounds/shillings/pence. (I.e. 12 pence to the shilling, 20 shillings to the pound.) This required 508 new circuit boards, but made it much easier to do currency math in England. Keep in mind this is transistor circuitry to do math in hardware.

Yeah, then maybe the naysayers were kind of right telling me that I am wasting my time doing fundamentals.
However, I really actually enjoy it learning what is going on behind the scenes. Even if it doesn't make me "valuable" in the job market. I should perhaps do what everyone else does: investing, learning front end and APIs (or whatever is required in the market RN).
But your last sentence also resonated with me:

"The actual way to prepare would be as always: maximize your salary and save as much as possible."

That's for having a "psychological leverage/advantage" I guess. If you are not having money issues you will likely get rid of the "draining background processes" in your head and focus on more productive things.
So in other words FU money is always good. :)

What do you find objectionable about Taiwan's Covid response, taking into account its success, not to mention the cost (in a general sense) of quarantining whole countries (which means restricting the freedom of millions of health citizens), and then not being successful, unlike Taiwan?

That is true, but maybe Python doesn’t help with its primarily interpreter-based ecosystem (think of jupyter) where a result may only worked for the author because a variable he/she uses used to refer to something else no longer there in the source code (but still defined). Which bit me more than once with for example sage - but it may be simply a problem with jupyter/the way the scientific community writes code.

> The problem is that action now is way more valuable than action in 1-2 months [...] If there is a substantially more transmissive variant around, that will make it much harder to buy that time.

But which action? I can see two class of possible cause that do not entirely overlap in response: A singular cause such as a strain; or fluctuations as the emergent behavior of a complex dynamic system. If incorrectly attributed to a localised strain, efforts may be ineffectively focused on creating division between larger populations while removing the public's focus on the more evenly distributed measures we are already employing.

> You need to be able to act on the balance of probabilities, not wait for perfect information.

How about the probabilities between the two class of above cause? We seem to have an innate bias towards inferring 1:1 causal relationships which makes a strain feel like a simple and attractive explanation. This bias fails miserably in the face of dynamic systems where behavior cannot usually be attributed to a single variable... IANAV, but the spread of infectious disease is without a doubt a complex dynamic system from which a significant degree of unpredictable behavior must emerge.

To be honest this problem is not even particularly unique to this situation... The world is vast and complex, yet people usually want simple explanations - particularly for undesirable situations, something tangible to blame, a villain... The media continually exploit this desire and I cannot help but feel this is another example. A strain (real or not) makes for an excellent villain and story VS "chaos" which is extremely difficult for any reporter to spin an accessible narrative into.

Cool to learn that jerk is due to the meeting of Jamaica’s African and Native peoples. My food heritage comes from Guyana, and our traditional Christmas dish of pepperpot — beef stewed in cassava syrup — has a similar background. The enslaved Africans learned it from the Amerindians.
