Thanks a ton, this is incredible! Compressing output dynamic range and enhancing local contrast are basically all I ever use Lightroom for, so I'm looking forward to giving this a spin instead. Opinionated tools are fantastic when your opinion lines up with that of the tool author, haha.

If your definition of a peaceful place to live includes not hearing a race track, I can think of a few better strategies than moving in next to a race track.
Alan Kay didn't invent object oriented programming though he was instrumental in expanding its scope and usage. Simula 67 was a big influence on Kay's work, and as he has noted, the "revelation" that "it's all messages" was a huge one.

But Smalltalk is just one OOP language, not the only one and not even the original one (though we could argue about how much Simula was or was not OOP, and I'd rather not).

The message from Kay you cite about is strictly about Smalltalk & Squeak:

> The big idea is "messaging" - that is what the kernal of Smalltalk/Squeak
is all about

He doesn't say "what OOP is all about".

LOL.

I, too, recently implemented BASIC. It was something to do while bored. I was motivated by a desire to play the old star trek game, which it now does. It's called TrekBasic, but the github project it still private, as it's just a fun hack.

It is not as cool as yours, as I wrote it in python. It does have better features for developers than most BASICs from long ago:

Code breakpoints
Data write breakpoints
Single stepping
Execution timing
Execution tracing
Code coverage reports
Reformatting
Renumbering

I think my next step will be to move it to LLVM, just for the fun of learning about LLVM.
Yeah, they have an incentive to appear overconfident since their job is also largely a sales role, in order to prevent redemptions and encourage new fund inflows.

They are still the number one domain experts insofar as Central Bank policy goes, as that's one of their primary preoccupations. Perhaps aside from economists that actually work at the Fed.
That's what makes it an error of omission.
Just because many people haven’t seen wage growth, doesn’t mean money isn’t sloshing around out there.

Remember 20% of Americans own ~80% of all the wealth in the US. So if your looking for sloshing money you should look at what they’re doing, not what “most” people are doing.

I think it’s fair to say that those a big chunk of those 20% probably have more money than they know what to do with, which probably means money is sloshing somewhere.

Isn't Chromium exactly Chrome minus Google extras? I was under the impression that the difference between the two was exactly said Google-specific features that were apparently only cut off now.
I didn’t like Stardew Valley because I thought it was one of the most stressful games I’ve ever played. It gets a reputation for being relaxing, but I felt like the timer plus the variety put a lot of pressure on me to play efficiently and maximize each day. Was I just playing the game wrong?
Or just use Java records.

Yeah, for things that are measured solely in time, Traindown isn’t a good fit.

For the question of the usefulness of portability, let’s imagine StrongLifts uses Traindown and you have the ability to access that data directly as Traindown files.

Now imagine someone has developed an analytics package that slurps your owned data and that allows you to easily spot patterns that can improve your results. You could use that immediately and find value. You would not need to export whatever mess and try to make it work assuming they even let you do that.

That’s the idea, anyhow. I feel very strongly that YOU should own YOUR DATA and applications should provide value ON TOP of your data. This provides you true freedom of choice.
Seems logical if you're using their stuff, they get to do anything they want with what you put there.

Most of the time I worked on drivers with kernel modules, so the fast path is just build && rmmod foo && modprobe foo && test. That's fine.

But I was working for a hardware manufacturer too (One Laptop Per Child), making its own laptop designs and doing board bringups on them, and when the point is to test real hardware you don't get shortcuts like using a VM. :)

The shortcut we had for trying to maintain productivity while testing real hardware was actually to stop using Linux: we had a port of Open Firmware that was the first thing run on new hardware, and then running tests (e.g. bisecting how large the timeout on a device request needed to be) could be done in a live OFW Forth REPL, and then ported to Linux from there.
This is true. But care must be taken with the feature. Iirc, Java Generics tried to take their time but refused to adopt more (at the time) exotic type inference to simplify the syntax.

"That considered, I had a pretty strict qualifier in my above post which means the machine must perform better than the average human in the respective task and therefore I'd be more likely to die driving my own car than a machine meeting my prerequisites."

Okay now I'm curious: what IDE do you use that makes this a non-issue?
Very strange to see few to no references to io_uring here. I guess it's still too new. As I've seen many times before so much complexity is replicated in userspace to reproduce kernel behavior out of mmap or DIO/AIO, in order to break the latency, caching, and prioritization into a micromanaged state tuned for a narrow set of applications... Then applied to database code used in a myriad of applications which violate those assumptions and have their own needs. io_uring can't take over fast enough.
Takeoff is done at max power as best practice, not because it's physically strictly required power for lift-off. Yes you'd need to reduce weight tables and friends, but a certified detuning is totally possible, even if an in-the-field loss of power is cause for grounding.
Interesting, Inforworld (presumably copyright owner of Javaworld) moved the article to here: https://www.infoworld.com/article/2076993/take-a-look-inside...

As to your original question, Sun was a pretty political place in general. Java was a "weird" place because it only existed because Gosling and some other folks were walking out the door and Scott McNealy asked what he could do to keep them. Their response was give them full autonomy to pursue their ideas. That gave birth to "First Person" which was an independent company wholly owned by Sun (I still have my First Person business card :-)). One of the people knew I was "loose in the socket" as they say and wanted to be sure I had an opportunity to participate and brought me over. It made the last 4 years at Sun mostly enjoyable.

As the limelight started fading from Sun and they started killing off things that couldn't make a profit, they decided to kill off First Person (couldn't make a business case for it). So the Java team negotiated with them to let us release the sources so that when we were job hunting the person could look at the source to see what we had been doing for the last 4 years. We did a stealth release in January of '95, then an "official" release in March. That put us on the front page of the Mercury News. A couple of us attended the WWW conference in Darmstadt Germany and it was all anyone wanted to talk about (much to SGI's chagrin). At which point the politics REALLY ramped up back at Sun when people figured out it would be a "good" thing to be associated with Java instead of a "loser" thing. This affected different people differently, and some, who had pretty bad case of imposter syndrome, went all out trying to claim credit for everything. It ceased to be "fun" with the hard to get along with folks becoming intolerable.
The problem is multi-faceted.

While this is entirely anecdotal I have observed a LOT of time theft by employees. And been asked more than ever to investigate employee behavior (even when I normally try and advise against the approach)

Some more egregious than others. While most probably aren’t going to awol for a day at a time I know a LOT of people that now spend working hours doing leisure things. Maybe that’s a substitute for them browsing internet all day and just weren’t busy.

But even some of my direct reports will slack significantly more if they think I’m not online. Responses that are normally in minutes take hours etc.I have to now probe for updates etc. Much less time is spent on projects of interest (that also benefit the business) during periods of less “fires”. Instead it’s more bare minimum. I know many try to be understanding (myself included) because many have more than just work to deal with but it would need to be addressed if it’s becomes a norm.

Maintaining network and IP security is harder in many sectors. Just look at the SW breaches where m365 tenants seem to be vector. Look at the vectors cropping up. Huge rashes of phishing, people loading up corporate email on personal equipment. Rdp dos and the multiple flaws etc. and even if you have the hardware on lock, home networks are a cesspool.

Support teams are getting pinged at all sorts of hours because people are shifting work hours to ones more of convenience (again anecdotal)

I see more cultures being more amenable to wfh or flex schedules. But I still see the need for brick and mortar work for certain....job types
I don't use Ruby much anymore, but I used to be an avid Rubyist. This is really nicely designed and feels very idiomatic. Kudos!

I was pleasantly suprised to see that many of these seem to have ok video quality (all I tried had a 720p option on youtube, although the actual quality is often much lower than that, sadly including His Girl Friday).
Work from home for people living by themselves away from family (separated by countries) gets depressing and will most likely impact productivity at work.
Devil is in the details, for sure! I hope one day that Traindown could support such cases. For prescriptive training, I am working on a template syntax to express what you WILL DO in addition to the currently support what you HAVE DONE. I hope to wrap that up the first quarter of this year. Thanks for looking!

I don't know what you're arguing against but it sure isn't what I wrote.

"Code generation only needs to generate code with n bugs where n is less than the number of bugs a human developer generates for it to have usefulness, and maybe some other factor of severity where they are generally less severe than human developers."

Point to the part you're arguing against because you way extrapolated what "have usefulness" means I think.
What support does Google offer for this?
In theory, absolutely. In practice, I've heard of major instances using their power to dictate "If you federate with $out-group, we won't federate with you". Most admins want to federate with other major (mostly good, popular) federations, so they capitulate.

As such, being kicked from one instance leads you to sign up elsewhere, until a major instance notices and tells your new server admin to kick you out. When you create your own instance, the major instances use their soft power to ensure almost nobody else federates with you.
I’ve been reading about advancements in experimental cancer therapeutics for decades. Everyone I’ve ever know who’ve gotten cancer always gets the same: chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Can anyone vouch a for a single meaningful advance in cancer treatment that’s become mainstream in the last 20 years?
Well that's just blatantly not true. They aren't even required to know the laws and can enforce laws that they think exist even if they do not. See Heien vs North Carolina.

Police exist to "keep the peace." The question is whose peace are they keeping. Well I suppose the reaction of police at the Jan. 6 insurrection vs that of the BLM protests tells us a little. Or the union busting police did in the past. Or blocking the polls for minorities.

But it absolutely isn't "that simple."
Do you expect Google (or any other publicly traded corpo facing pressure from shareholders) to finance hosting of competing products?

Heh. I remember the Java 1.0 days. At work someone showed me Java and just running a "Hello World" took a few seconds to start. And complex code was sloooow.

I immediately concluded that no-one will ever use it and that's it's just a fad. (Just like I predicted there's no way to make money from a search engine :) ).

Things changed a lot with Java 1.3, which, for the first time, came with JIT compiler.

And with modern escape analysis, lock elision, new GCs, etc, I no longer (OK very rarely) look to C/C++ for performance anymore.

I still miss real pointers (better unsafe, et al), native types collections (there are external ones) and more control over what gets put on the stack vs. on the heap (escape analysis is not good enough, yet.) sometimes.
An error of omission is when you say something that is misleading but still true. The incorrectly missing part has to be implied, not directly stated, to be an error of omission. The first instance in the article implies the incorrect part, but the second instance directly states the incorrect part.

The idea is usually to use hundreds or thousands of IPs, avoiding (ideally) detection, and not having any banned. Obviously if hundreds of people are using the same blocks, it doesn't quite work like that.

Why would anybody insist on using them? Isn't there enough of 3-rd party cross-browser bookmark/passwords/whatever syncing tools available?
The SunRays were sweet. The CPU of the RPi is capable of running circles around the one found in the 'Rays, but in my experience, performance was limited by the server.

The Sun Rays had also decent sound ("CD quality"), a Cisco compatible VPN client and a smart card which allowed one to comfortably drag one's session from one Ray to another (home to office, cubicle to lab, etc.).
You're making an assumption that doesn't make sense. If someone is using Chromium directly on Fedora, chances are they know WHY they're using it and this won't have any affect on them other than switching to another browser or continue using Chromium without the sync features as they probably never used them to begin with.
I really hope it doesn’t. I miss the office. Workplace environments prevent myself from socially isolating beyond weekends at best — I know I’m not alone in that.
So merely 16 million people with subclinical heavy metal accumulation, which is tied to lower IQs and increased crime rates. Nice.
The game doesn't do a good job of explaining this, but, there is almost no benefit to min-maxing it. Absolutely nothing is gated off by taking your time to do it. If it takes you seven in-game years to finish the community center, there's no downside. It's a common misconception that you need to complete everything as quickly as possible. I think this stems from the fact that after your second year you get a kind of "grade". But this doesn't matter since you can choose to get graded again whenever you want!

Some people find the min-maxing to be part of the fun, but it sounds like it stressed you out, so you just shouldn't play it that way. Take as long as you want, the game will not punish you for doing that.
When you intentionally say something misleading by omission but true, that's a lie of omission.
