"...there are fewer and fewer living engineers that actually understand things well enough from first principles to be able to reconstruct a technological society"

I think that's either true or partially true due to (vertical) specialization that's so prevalent these days and also for other reasons some of which are cultural.

You qualify your comment by saying that 'there are fewer and fewer living engineers'. Here, your inclusion of the word 'living' is interesting. By that, you are not only implying that once engineers could do so (and their modern day counterparts cannot) but also that modern engineers aren't taught first principles—at least not to the extent that they once were.

This is a bold statement, why do you think this true?
Currently there is no API but all notes can be exported as HTML, TXT, PDF, or Markdown. There's also the option to backup.
After a long stint with Scala, I recently came back to Java because I'm setting up a team for a greenfield project. Java has a good balance for ease of use, type safety, massive+mature ecosystem, and talent pool.

The new language features (post v5) and framework maturity help reduce the "bloated" feeling that made me switch to Scala. Still not happy with the semicolon.
> I define art as something I can't replicate, even having seen it.

I dislike this definition because it conflates mechanical skill with meaning. I cannot replicate a Thomas Kinkade painting. But I don't care to either, because his work does absolutely nothing for me.

> High art as something I couldn't have imagined existing until I had seen it.

I like this more, but it also sort of conflates novelty with insight.

To me, the best art shows me a detailed picture of something I have experienced but been unable to perceive clearly. It is like someone painted a picture of my own soul. Like a light has been turned on in some dark corner of my psychology where I had been stumbling for years.
I didn’t manage to get past the Dutch cookie consent. How do I say no cookies or legitimate interest in Dutch?
That game was amazing. Still is, really. The particle effects hold up incredibly well even now.
Sure:

public interface FlatMappable<T> {
<U> Optional<U> flatMap(Function<? super T, ? extends Optional<? extends U>> mapper);
}

public class FlatMappableOption<T> implements FlatMappable<T> {
private final Option<T> value;

public FlatMappableOption<T>(Option<T> value) {
this.value = value;
}

<U> Optional<U> flatMap(Function<? super T, ? extends Optional<? extends U>> mapper) {
return value.flatMap(mapper);
}
}

// similar wrappers for CompletionStage and Stream

Now whenever you want to pass a Stream/CompletionStage/Option to something that accepts FlatMappable, you either a) already has it wrapped in FlatMappable, so pass that wrapper in; or b) has a naked value of known type, so wrap it in the propper wrapper class and pass the resulting wrapper in.

Of course, it would be nice to have this wrapping done automatically instead of manually, but that's pretty much how it's actually implemented behind the scenes (dictionary passing, or look at Go's way to wrap things inside interface{}).
Prgmr.com and Linode are both much less draconian in their payment terms.

I think, due to dumbness/forgetfulness/lack of autopay on my part, I've lapsed payments for 3-4 months and my prgmr VMs stayed running.
> Everyone keeps jumping on Microsoft, but Microsoft is not the problem.

Actually, moving to a more managed environment (so Azure and SaaS instead of hosting your own stuff) might make it better since MS can and will patch their own servers rapidly.
That is the plan if it is helpful, but it depends on a lot of factors. First, of course how much better is a second shot vs one - if the difference is minimal it probably isn't worth it. I'm guessing that we will forever say the difference is too minimal - it works well enough with one shot, so why not give the second shot as a first shot to someone else? Of course this gets mixed in those who might be more vulnerable (and thus more helped with a second shot) if we can figure that out. And there is the possibility of buy a second shot for you (at double price but that isn't stated), and we send a free shot to some poor person in [pick a poor country]. There is also the question of do we reach herd immunity - if Covid isn't spreading in your country and you are not traveling to a different country where it is why make your arm sore?

Probably more considerations, but the above should get you started thinking of them.
"Programming Perl" by Larry Wall sits on a bookshelf across from my bed. When I wake up it's usually the first book my eyes alight on though I don't use Perl much these days. It still brings back fond memories and is an inspired work to this day. Larry Wall was a linguist and Perl will always look like sigilitis if you don't take half an hour to grok context. Perl particularly appeals to those who see beauty in regular expressions. Those that hate/avoid regular expressions usually hate Perl. Perl was my first real programming language after I found a reference to regular expressions in the Find & Replace section of a Dreamweaver manual. There was a reference to Jeffrey Friedl's brilliant work "Mastering Regular Expressions" which was part of the O'Reilly Perl library and that led me to Perl. Happy days. Much better than fighting my way through the thicket of front-end Javascript.

It looks worse than the "applications" of Watson to medicine.
Reminds me of a few years ago. We did a fishing trip on vacation in Costa Rica. Just myself and my wife, and two crew members on the fishing boat.

We came across a giant trawling boat and the captain of our fishing boat asked if we wanted to change what we were fishing for. We said yes, and our guys gathered a bunch of random stuff from the galley and put it into a plastic sack: open bags of chips, beer, soda, other snacks, etc.

We pulled up next to the trawler and the captain negotiated a trade: our food and drinks for a giant basket of their bait.

Both boats ended up happy and we had a great time using their bait!
The fact that a chip fab is a state level asset suggests that one of the problems is that there are likely to be competing state level interests with a dog in the fight.

Or to put it another way, some of the difficulties are analogs to those of developing nuclear weapons. There are trust issues in the supply chain due to an adversarial aspect to the undertaking.

Or where does one buy the latest lithography hardware?
Tonic.ai Launches New Mission, Online Store: For Fake’s Sake
There are a thousand ways for unscrupulous providers to turn what you thought was a wellness checkup into whatever they want.

I'm new to this, but on my first attempt at a "wellness checkup" the practice gave me a form to sign when I arrived explaining why they would be billing me: it wasn't really a "wellness checkup" because I might ask the doctor a question.
Or use Scala :)

Disclaimer: Non-dev small business owner here; I only MVPed offerings that solve a big-enough existing problem of contacts I know -- so for me the logical customers to validate are the ones with the pain points that I can comfortably access.

For people who are comfortable enough to give you a signup already I'd just reach out to them first via a cold+mass email and get conversion through numbers.

Once you get that personal connection you just wanna make sure it solves their use case; do remember how you solve it for them is often times as important as solving it itself.
Nvidia RTX 4090 video wins 2021’s best April Fools’ joke
Part of the problem is that it's much easier to come up with a new perpetual motion machine or reactionless drive concept than to prove that it doesn't work. After seeing them all fail, at a certain point people are going to stop paying them any attention. Oh, this time it uses X force in Y configuration? Go away until you have data, we could be more profitably spending time on just about anything else.
Is there an update somewhere that I've missed? I keep looking for updates and haven't seen them.

OpenTTD was a godsend when I only had a 15 year old laptop and was visiting family with bad internet. Also if anyone doesn't know OpenRCT2 also exists now and works great too.

In the context of ML application to AI, the trends can be categorized into two groups:

1) Fake AI research:

- Continue falling into the deep learning rabbit hole, overfitting even more benchmarks and producing arbitrarily large and dumb models

- Pursue the infinite long tail in self-driving cars, question answering or anything that requires common sense reasoning.

- Get busy with endless permutations of layers and tweaking of hyperparameters, throw even more things on the wall to see what sticks.

In this scenario AI will always be "5 years away" as this approach is akin to alchemy and search of the philosopher's stone.

2) Actual AI research:

- Developing mathematical principles of natural cognition, biologically inspired memory & learning

In this case we might actually have a chance for toddler level AGI sometime in 2030s.
From the Taiwan point of view, allowing any competition is opening the door to trouble in the long run. Political winds come and go, but building semiconductor capacity can't be done overnight, so the longer they can keep their edge, the longer they'll be relatively safe from their neighbor to the north.
> Python has no built-in regex support

Are you basing this claim on something like not having a special literal syntax? Python has had regular expression support for ages and it works quite well: https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html
Actually, I think that the main problem is that this question is... the wrong problem !

The problem should not be if there should exist some meetings to discuss of some specific problems with only concerned people (black, arabs, women...or plumber) but why these people need to meet only together to be able to express themselves freely.

IMHO, the real problem is that we seem to be less and less able to discuss freely, to listen to other opinions and to accept that other people may have different point of view. It's harder and harder to express himself freely in public without someone feeling bad, insulted, either right or wrong!!!

So people meet "together", to be sure to hear the other say exactly what they want to hear.

"We don't talk anymore", we try to convince the others that we are right
From a brief look, the typography
section of the manual is definitely language specific. Different written languages often have a much different typographic convention; depending on the language, different countries using it may have major or minor differences in conventions. And of course, there are different interpretations of the convention; they've included by reference a specific version of the Chicago Manual of Style. For another language, you'd need to at least need a different exhaustive manual to reference, as well as changing or reviewing the specific guidelines.

That's work that really needs to be done by a fluent, literate user of that language, hopefully with background in that language's literature and experience in copyediting, and familiarity with publishing. It's not really work you can demand of someone who did a good job (I assume) of it in English; they won't do a good job of it in another language without deep experience in that language. Developing and publishing the works in the language also needs to be done by people fluent in the language.

The example of the English version can be a guide for other languages, and there's of course room for collaboration on software between languages, but asking the English language project to expand to other languages is unlikely to get good results unless the developers also are fluent in those languages.
I gave it a try and while I haven't noticed any obvious issue, the fact that it offers multiplexing, serial port and builtin ssh support is a bit of a red flag for me. Oh and apparently it embeds lua scripting? Soon it'll have a built-in email client!

In particular I really struggle to understand the point of the ssh interface given that ssh already supports multiplexing built-in with ControlMaster.

What happened to "do one thing and do it well"? Make me an ultra-fast minimalist terminal, then I'll use tmux, ssh and kermit if I need them. Focus on handling all the many, many corner cases that you need to implement for accurate terminal emulation.

Well, I guess I'm turning into a bit of a hater here, I guess I'm just frustrated that it's not the project for me. Hardware accelerated Rust terminal hyped me a little too much I suppose.

Reverse ETL with Dbt and Grouparoo
> It's a fun timeline when, compared to the perceived US mainstream politics, even the french socialists seem right wing.

Race-gender politics and the economic left-right political axis don’t have a strongly essential alignment; certainly the current alignment between race and economic politics on the US isn't universal, either globally or even in US history, its something that developed and strengthened over the last couple generations.
The law of diminishing returns. Shrinking brings lower and lower benefits because the jumps may be hefty in relative values (10% smaller) but in absolute values (nm) they don't bring the same benefit as they did 15-20 years ago.

On the other hand, even in practical terms the older nodes are more than adequate for most customers these days simply because they are far closer to a modern node than the equivalent would have been 20 years ago (for the reason stated above).
Yeah, the language I've seen is usually something like "...there were 0 deaths in the test group..." Which most people will read as "100% effective in preventing deaths" but technically there's no specific claim at preventing deaths - the "0 deaths" is effectively an anecdote.
