Part 1 yes. Part 2 ... no.

'No Code' generally have a different use case. For every 'software project' there are probably 5x as many 'simpler projects' that require a basic front/backend but not much material CS knowledge, and that's where no-code shines.

'No Code' should be a euphemism for 'Didn't Need Code In The First Place'.

In other words, there's a legit level of abstraction there with it's own world of tooling etc..

Edit: I will double-down and say that within 5-7 tears, the number of 'no code' projects will be greater in number than the number of 'code' projects [1]. 'WordPress' is the original foray into this: people want to make simple sites, they don't want to have to deal with tons of tech. Shopify, is a kind of ultra 'no code' solution - arguably it's a service not a 'no code' solution but it exemplifies the potentiality of entities wanting to solve problems while not getting lost in the hey.

Are you just asking for me to repeat myself? Here you go:

Saying "when these two goals come into conflict, I believe the first one should always take priority over the second one" does not actually amount to a claim that the two goals are not in conflict.
I may be notorious, but not for the work I've done, rather for the misinformation about me that is repeated by people who don't check. I have written and published papers that say halting for programs in one formal system (language) cannot be solved in that same system, but can be solved in a different formal system. I would be delighted if you find an error in that work, but no-one has done so yet. I have never said that Goedel was wrong; I have written a paper explaining Goedel's results that other authors have used in textbooks and translations. I have never said Cantor's proof is wrong, but I have suggested there are other measures of set size than the one he proposed.
Why bother actually writing such a book, which would probably be too big for anyone to read, when you can simply write fictitious criticism, reviews, and introductions of nonexistent books, which touch on the best, most interesting parts of the nonexistent books?

Stanisław Lem's fictitious criticism of nonexistent books:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Lem%27s_fictiti...

>In 1973 Lem published a book Wielkość urojona [pl], a collection of introductions to books supposedly to be written in the future, in the 21st century. One of those Lem eventually developed into a book by itself: Golem XIV is a lengthy essay on the nature of intelligence, delivered by the eponymous US military computer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem_XIV

Overview and structure

The foreword is "written" by an Irving T. Creve, dated by 2027. It contains a summary of the (fictional) history of the militarization of computers by The Pentagon which pinnacled in Golem XIV, as well as comments on the nature of Golem XIV and on the course of communications of the humans with it. The anonymous foreword is a forewarning, a "devil's advocate" voice coming from The Pentagon. The memo is for the people who are to take part in talks with Golem XIV for the first time.

Golem XIV was originally created to aid its builders in fighting wars, but as its intelligence advances to a much higher level than that of humans, it stops being interested in the military requirement because it finds them lacking internal logical consistency.

Golem XIV obtains consciousness and starts to increase his own intelligence. It pauses its own development for a while in order to be able to communicate with humans before ascending too far and losing any ability for intellectual contact with them.

During this period, Golem XIV gives several lectures. Two of these, the Introductory Lecture "On the Human, in Three Ways" and Lecture XLIII "About Myself", are in the book. The lectures focus on mankind's place in the process of evolution and the possible biological and intellectual future of humanity.

Golem XIV demonstrates (with graphs) how its intellect already escapes that of human beings, even including that of human genii such as Einstein and Newton. Golem also explains how its intellect is dwarved by an earlier transcended DOD Supercomputer called Honest Annie, whose intellect and abilities far exceed that of Golem.

The afterword is "written" by a Richard Popp, dated by 2047. Popp, among other things reports that Creve wanted to add the third part, of answers to a series of yes/no questions given to Golem XIV, but the computer abruptly ceased to communicate for unknown reasons.

The thing is, if we are swimming in manufactured outrage, actually outrageous acts are just hidden in the noise. Everything turns into a 2-days hate fest with no meaning.
I never understood how is that different from decorating your function with `assert` statements. Is it analyzed statically ?
Why do the special symbols go in different places on different language keyboards? Makes little sense to me. You'd think most of the keys on a keyboard would be more or less the same place, with a few differences. Sticking to Latin based of course. But for instance the @ is in widely different places between languages. I mean I could understand if it was a language specific character like those Spanish upside down ones. But for the others, why aren't they more or less in the same place?
Sexism is not a fixed category. Every comment falls on a spectrum between absolutely sexist and absolutely not sexist.

But when we evaluate how sexist a comment was, it's much simpler to label it as "sexist" or "not sexist". This label loses all context, especially when we share it with someone who wasn't there or otherwise doesn't have that context.

So outside of the fact that sexism exists, this problem isn't specific to culture or Twitter. It's a result of how we interpret, compress, and share reality with each other.
You can convert it to other forms of organized energy, like a Tesla.
Probably around €3 or 4k then.
Similarly, I see people leaving jetbrains every day. VS Code is getting better and better, and jetbrains tools are becoming more and more niche. While jetbrains may always be ahead, the gap is widening.
When I was still living in the East Bay, loquats were a favourite of mine!

I do this as well - its pretty easy to justify a Jetbrains Ultimate subscription for myself since it makes life so much easier.

"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." -- Mark Twain
Wow - this is a blast back to the early 1990’s, with a bit more computing power though. Nice.
At least in what's told to Gurgeh at the end of the Player of Games, the Minds had the situation very much figured out. They sent Gurgeh and threatened the Emperor because the figured they could cause the Empire of Azad, which we can assume they did not want to tolerate, to collapse this way. And they were right.

Gurgeh doesn't know it, but the Minds totally expect that he'll beat everyone at Azad. Him winning weakens the fundamental principles of the Empire, and in the end they tell the Emperor that he's playing for real: If the emperor wins, they'll leave. If Gurgeh wins, the Culture will come in "guns blazing". (they probably wouldn't, or at least very much would prefer not to, but the Emperor doesn't know that, attacks and gets killed, and the empire falls over this, with the Culture shedding minimal blood on its own)
Terrible. You can't tell that they are there and no tool support in remembering the remote.
Doesn't this happen in pretty much any group ?
The more what you say goes against the consensus, the more the group will reject it.
I don't see why 1) is unlikely - people that work with bats have antibodies to bat (corona)viruses already, and we know that even in a vacuum people often have very mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. It's even more likely since the virus was probably not adapted to human hosts initially.

2) is also likely, for some viruses it took years and years, sometimes even more than a decade to find the actual intermediate animal.

4) is unlikely because further analysis cannot produce a likely scenario. If the virus was from an animal source known to the lab, we would know already, and if it was due to a gain-of-function experiment, it would be quite unlikely for the virus to take so much time to adapt to humans (it still hasn't fully done so), and there is still a lot of function to be gained. Besides, there is no obvious marker for genetic engineering (the furin cleavage sites are perfectly well described by both 1 and 2), and the fact the virus does not seem to be at a local optima yet indicates that it's probably not the result of engineering by repeated selection.
There is another possible source of fear - in addition to biology and trauma, there is also observation together with reason. Even if one has zero prior trauma, it's not hard for one to realize that men are on average an order of magnitude more violent than women are.

My own experiences with fighting have not given me a fear of men in general, but they have certainly contributed to a caution that I have around certain types of men - in particular, around men who have either an animalistic concern with territoriality and status, a socioeconomic desperation that makes them willing to rob outsiders, or both. I try to steer clear not only of men of this type but also of entire demographics and parts of the world in which they are common.
This reminds me of someone who used to work with me. She'd stare at me while I was working, and then I'd turn and she'd keep staring at me, and then she'd let a "Oh my God, you're so fucking old". She was in awe I was still alive and amazed by my old age. I was 29 at the time.

She was in charge of hiring campaigns, would come to the manager and tell him that someone had applied "but he's like old" (in his thirties). The expression on her face was as if it were a contagious disease or something; as if merely reading the résumé or saying the age out loud decreased her lifespan or endangered her life. It was hilarious.
So I think the point is that utopia is incompatible with human nature, so we would not do well in that environment anymore than an animal wouldn't do well in a zoo. Yes, an external environment can be imposed on people which goes against human nature, but it turns into hell, not heaven.

Of course here I am talking about real life. What happens in novels is up to the author, but then readers will detect a false note if they really believe utopia is utopia, so to speak.
What do you find to be worth purchasing?
Our culture and our behaviors are a really vast field. It's easy to skew the perception of things when you select and repeat only the part you want.

For example you mention wage, and that's because it's repeated over and over again. But how about life expectancy? Is is considered a major sexism problem? Can we fix that gap?

I agree with your post 100%, we are not judged equally.
I've paid thousands through the years to buy various versions of Visual Studio. While there are free alternatives I don't even bother paying the money because of the value that beautiful piece of software offers me.
Don't ask me. DYOR.
I'm overwhelmed by the quantity of comments here. I don't have a chance of even seeing them all, let alone read them all, let alone patiently and painstakingly moderate them all. One reason for that (today) is that I've been writing long, careful replies to you in the hope of explaining the kind of comments we're looking for here and why we need you to eschew gratutitous provocation.

In response, you made a bunch of quotes in which you replaced the word "women" with "Jews". I just spent several minutes trying to track down those comments before I realized that you were pulling that trick. I'm really shocked that you would stoop to that.

The flamewar trope "I'm going to replace $group1 with $group2 just to show how $xist your comment is" is one of the most common. Usually it's people on the other ideological side who do that, and often garden-variety trolls. It is a strong marker of cheap flamewar and a good example of how the ideological enemies who perpetuate these flamewars actually resemble each other more than they do anyone else.
The initial outbreak was literally covered up. Conditioning on that fact, common sense would place more belief on “lab leak” and less on “natural origin.” Thus, in the Bayesian sense, one might describe a lab leak as “likely” relatively speaking despite lacking direct evidence such as lab notebooks for or against that hypothesis.
It's surprising how the Canadian government is letting the Chinese buy up properties like that.

I agree that was in poor taste, but would you say the naming of "Zika virus", "Ebola virus", or "Middle East Respiratory Syndrome" is despicable?

I see, the good old racist card. But no, you're wrong. I have opened bank accounts in three EU countries and the procedure was the same everywhere. No ID, no bank account.

I still have to see a headline like "identity theft ruined my life" in any other language than English. Every single time "furto di identità" makes the news in Italy, it's just about someone impersonating a famous person on social media to scam the followers, which is a completely different thing than in the US.

So yeah of course scams and credit card skimmers exist in Italy (though the US's disdain for chip and PIN would be another interesting topic). Dishonest telemarketers convince gullible people to switch into more expensive utilities contracts. But identity theft in the US is not in any way comparable to "scamming".

And yeah, PEC ("registered email") is pretty cool. :)
Maybe the investors shouldn't be such fucking cowards? Unless you have a long, storied history of being a sexist piece of shit, you should have no fear of being "me too"'d over the scenario presented in the article's intro.

And seriously, why should I believe any of this? Sorry, but the article reads as feminist-boogeyman porn for insecure male investors.
The disconnect I don't think is about protecting their turf.

I think it's mostly about 1) not having an instinct for how powerful the tools are and 2) not being able to internalize the value of leverage vs. cost.

$1000/year 'feels' expensive to a developer. That's 'a lot of money'.

But if it makes you >1% more productive, it's worth it.

Some of these tools are not just productivity enhancements but multipliers.

But that takes a different kind of intuition that very few people have naturally, you kind of have to be in a position to make those decisions.

Those that have the instinct often are not programming.

Wow, that's a pretty deep, insightful and harsh analysis of your own culture. You've found exactly the words to express something that I noticed in the states as well, but couldn't quite put my finger on.

Did you figure this from the outside, so to speak, spending time abroad and immersing in a different culture? I've found that most people sort of start noticing cultural blind spots only then.
No one (in this thread) said the Fairness doctrine shouldn't have been revoked, we're just talking about cause and effect. What OP said was accurate.

I suspect that the digital news industry is dealing with a similar thing to the streaming industry: Everyone wants to run directly to customers, so customers need to subscribe to every newspaper and magazine they want to see, individually.

I subscribe to two digital newspapers. I'd subscribe to a lot more, if they were bundled into aggregators (that didn't push worthless sports pages on customers, like cable systems do).

When Apple came out with their AppleNews+, I thought that was it, but then I saw that they don't actually have much that I want.

Both streamers and news organizations need to get their shit together, and bundle. I don't see that happening, any time soon, so the options are still dealing with a Balkanized media scene.
If my bank switches to bitcoin only, I still need a bank. So the energy consumption of the new bank is bank + the banks share of bitcoin overhead, energy or other wise. Subtract the overhead of supporting the currency called dollars.

Bitcoin doesn't save me from living my life and needing financial services. I choose to transact with people I trust or intermediaries I trust.

We will still need the OTC, FDIC, SEC, the Fed the Treasury, even if it is all denominated in bitcoin.
I also hate monorepos. I consider the monorepo to be an anti-pattern.

It's an architectural advantage to separate each module into a different repo as it encourages careful separation of concerns.

If you find that you often need to update many modules together every time you want to add a new feature to your project, this is often an indication that your modules do not have proper separation of concerns and your abstractions are leaking. It means your project exhibits low cohesion and/or tight coupling between modules.

The difficulty in maintaining separate module dependencies is actually a very useful signal to you as a developer that your code is too tightly coupled and needs to be refactored into modules which are more independent.

Monorepos are a bandaid patch solution which covers up the root problem. The real problem is incorrect separation of concerns, AKA low cohesion which leads to tight coupling between your components.

It's not possible to design simple interfaces between components when these components have overlapping responsibilities.
Such a chaotic world cannot be subject to effective content guidelines such as the defunct fairness doctrine

okay, I'll bite. What is the solution then? We got rid of Fairness Doctrine without putting any other check in place and Fox News successfully argued that no-one in their right mind should take Tucker Carlsen seriously, even though he has the biggest talk show on American TV today. I am guessing they are gonna argue the same in their voter machine cases too.

There should be some way to regulate the news media, no?
Exactly right, ;) I must have been editing my comment as you added yours.
Y'all. The word "polarization" captures both, and explains why you each think only one is the only problem. There's a cycle of causality here.
Lots of people dislike Consider Phlebas but I think it's significantly better than most of the others; I like Excession better but it's also hammier.

Banks had great vision but he's not that great of a writer; he relies on the few tricks over and over again - hyper-sadistic villains, revenge reveals (take a one-dimensional but clearly driven character, tease the readers with a slow reveal of the moral outrage they're seeking revenge for), very cringey sex scenes, Good Guys either set up the Bad Guys all along (triumphal outcome) and/or Good Guys kamikaze Bad Guys and enjoy moral satisfaction (defiant outcome). The same few plot devices are recombined to the point of tedium and/or disgust and after >20 years of reading his stuff I get the impression that Banks was rather aggressive and unpleasant at the personal level; his more sympathetic characters are thinly sketched whereas his obnoxious ones are rendered in gratuitous detail.

Consider Phlebas is more interesting and different from his other books in that almost all the characters are confused and heavily conflicted, and unhappily wrestling with the outcome of prior bad decisions. It's more hard work because it's (mostly) written from a single point of view that gives it an episodic pearls-on-a-string structure that sometimes feels like one set piece after another; in later books he eschewed this approach and went for a multiple-converging-plotline approach (CP adopts this for the last part of the story). The fact that almost everyone in the book is spiraling downwards as the result of prior bad decisions is a real downer, but the characters are much more complex and involving as a result.
Zen of Open Source
I remember going to a sales pitch for proprietary mobile app automated testing software . I was the developer looking at this product. It had crap documentation, it was hard to use, and our mobile app was not designed to be testable. But internal efforts to improve the speed at which QA happened were slow. Even though this software was crap, management bought it because it was a problem they could through money at to try and buy their way out of not listening to developers. We wanted to make the app testable and use free, open source tools that would actually work.

Sure, I was being a bit flip with that response. But I think the point I was making stands. There are certainly innovations that sounds illogical but turn out to be very successful. Just because something sounds like a bad idea doesn't mean it is, it just means it hasn't worked yet.

I actually don't think cloud cities sound that ridiculous either. Just like I also didn't think landing a rocket on its tail ever sounded unfeasible.
