In the 80s I worked pretty hard to support multiple languages with the Zortech C/C++ compiler. Error messages were switchable between English, German, French and Japanese. Translated versions of the manual were made.

The trouble was, I had to hire translators. They weren't programmers, so the translations were (so I've been told) peculiar. When I'd modify the compiler, trying to keep the translated text in sync was a nightmare.

The last straw was when I found out that essentially none of our customers used the messages in their native language. They preferred the English versions.

So I just gave up on that with D. (Although the D language itself has excellent Unicode support, the user interface is all in English.)

Some members of the D community have taken the initiative to create documentation in their native languages, which is great.
That’s not what’s happening. Google has a product strategy problem more than it has a marketing problem. Google can hire people to do marketing (and they do) but they can’t outsource product strategy.

I overate during my non-fasting window for the first month. Over time, my appetite gradually reduced to something much healthier. I didn't want to eat more even when I could. It just happened naturally. This became a real lifestyle change for me and not some temporary fad diet effect. I've been doing it almost a year and I can chart and predict my weight loss reliably with the BMR formula.
Giving up on something like that is quite narrow minded. Diversity matters and monoculture is almost never a good thing. The fact that there are open operating systems other than Linux makes Linux better too.

Check out the dealers on the Raspberry Pi website. A few of the dealers have them in stock and they appear to be close to MSRP. (I'm waiting on a 4 GB unit that was about US$56, compared to US$55 MSRP. The 2 GB units at US$35 are listed as well.)
Ok, but almost no one disputes that, right? The argument is whether intermittent fasting makes it easier--for any number of reasons, such as causing you to feel less hungry or force you into a better schedule or whatever--to cause you to eat less calories.
Looks like issues dealing with construction cones? Maybe they're trying to infer construction zones based on fitting a polygon to identified cones or something similar.
Afghanistan is a very corrupt place. During the first conversation I ever had with a high-ish ranking man in the Afghan National Army, he asked me if I'd be willing to smuggle American goods off our forward operating base for him to sell on the black market. I was shocked that he would have the nerve to ask, and that he wouldn't blush to do so in an introductory conversation.

The tooling and ecosystem are the main problems from my perspective. If you set yourself up with Kotlin + Gradle + IntelliJ you now already have all the tools you need.

Want to create/maintain a modern JS/TS stack? Well, you are going to need npm, webpack, probably babel, linters, need to understand how to setup source maps and get those working for debugging server side. etc.

It's a nightmare and it's all very fragile and that isn't even touching on the poor quality of the libraries outside of React/big ones.
LLHD is greenfield code, so it’s not based on LLVM. I’m familiar with the authors both academically (15 years ago), and on an engineering level (now). I think it is definitely worth reviewing what they’re bringing to the table.

Anyways, I think the RTL market is ripe for disruption. There was a lot of great language work done by, for instance, Ronald Garcia, directly aimed at fixing pain points in HDLs, like parsmetrization.
Rust is sometimes a painful experience because it forces you to deal upfront with an important concept other languages play fast and loose with.

You can absolutely get productive more quickly in other languages as a result. But to me, developers who take the time to get over that hurdle by and large become dramatically more productive in the long run, and that’s before you take into account the fact that their code will have near-optimal performance and be virtually bulletproof.

There’s a reason we’re regularly seeing best-in-class general purpose tools and libraries coming out of the Rust ecosystem.
Is that that much of a shift? VSCode probably isn't Visual Studio but isn't it related obviously. It would seem different if you migrated from Visual Studio to sublime or xcode or something.
Should developer assistant be a thing?
Automation is coming for a whole bunch of jobs. As task based routine work moves towards to non routine, higher-level cognitive or interpersonal type roles should we start looking to create new roles?

The first one I could think of was a developer assistant. In most dev teams I've worked on having a dev assistant (no coding background whatsoever think transitioning from fast food cashier - one of the most at risk jobs due to automation) who could help with writing basic code, occasional QA, documentation, support etc

They would be affordable for most teams, add value in the long term (short immediate term cost in training) and also introduce a group of people into tech who might otherwise feel it is inaccessible.

Like the barrier for entry is still quite high in tech and for a whole bunch of stuff that we do - it doesn't need to be.

OK, let's unwrap that:

> And yet – Apollo advertises its easy Python interoperatibility right on the front page

Yes, absolutely, there is great support for GraphQL in many different languages.

> , as one of the features that makes scaling easier.¹

To be clear, that is your own commentary and I didn't see anything in the Apollo site that said implementing in Python makes scaling easier. I.e you seem to be implying that somehow implementing in Python is better for scaling, but there is no background to support that.

> GraphQL arguably makes decoupling frontend and backend languages even easier than classic REST APIs, since the GraphQL schema can serve as single source of truth across language barriers.

Yes, I totally agree with that. If you are, say, providing an API to other developers GraphQL is a great choice for a number of reasons, one of which is that there is great language support across pretty much all languages.

But if you are starting a project within a company, and have the luxury of choosing technologies, having the same ecosystem on the front and back ends makes it much easier for people on either team to go across that "boundary" if necessary. This is not just me hypothesizing. For the majority of career, which really started right when web apps started taking off, there was a separate language on the backend (Java for the majority of my career, but also sizable stints where Ruby and Python were the backend languages). Yes, most backend folks understood JS and CSS, and most frontend folks could understand the backend languages, but it was still a huge barrier to people being able to contribute across teams such that it rarely happened. It's only in the past couple of years where I've been in a "TypeScript everywhere" org where I've seen the gigantic change in the team dynamic that this allows.

I agree. (The document may specify what language the text is in and whether or not fix-pitch is wanted; the user settings should then be used to determine what font that is.) Actually, I generally would usually avoid CSS entirely, since the user's styles are generally more suitable.

(The "font-display" setting is also a setting that the user might want to change even if font downloading is enabled. My idea of "meta-CSS" would give you this and many other things for free. Meta-CSS would not inherently allow the timing to be adjusted, but it is a feature that can be added too if it is wanted.)

Another thing that I might want is to enable the document to specify its own fonts if it is SVG or PDF, but to disallow HTML documents from specifying their own fonts.

The useful ones I've seen are where Confluence automatically indicates jira tickets that mention the page and confluence pages that link tickets that will have their status embedded.

It's just those two though, it's also the git branches, pipelines, and release integration from jira, being able to see the support ticket cases and / or alerts that were the cause of ticket/branch/release.

I'm in no way arguing that atlassian does a great job here, only that no one else offers that end to end integration. (Possible exception of phabricator mentioned in a sister thread)
thats going to be one of the biggest shocks to society going forward when it comes to the changes that AI bring. there are mountains of data everywhere that is completely overlooked simply because the cost of processing the data is too high. too high to discover patterns/correlation and too high to process in any case.

human beings filter out most of what goes on around them. they dont see the world as it is and their minds dont keep track of physical primitives. their minds abstract the world into larger conceptual parts and track those parts. its not just a question of processing power, its a question of intuitive access. and nobody realizes this yet because the only sentient beings who are around to demonstrate any of this have those filters in place. when the AI comes with all that horse power and with no filters, it will see things all around that we are blind to. it will seem as though it can make impossible predictions. it will seem god-like, even before it graduates to doing something other than simply observing the world.
Coming from a background most would consider rough and tumble in the US, this is true.

However, you're missing a bit part of it. Americans don't understand governance models very well. Provinces are to counties and states are to small countries. What does federal map to? Mental model says next one up - continent.

I'd argue its not precise to consider Americans dumb, just inexperienced outside our bubble.
I was getting impressed with Seiko. They used to be reasonably priced, and ordering parts was easy. They even used to sell parts to customers.

They joined the others (Rolex, and The Swatch Group), and drastically raised prices. Parts are not even available to Independant Watchmakers anymore.

I think you may be comparing "apples to oranges" within the US. When you say New York that includes a lot more than New York City. I'm from New York City but have never really felt out of place in Austin, San Francisco, LA, Denver, etc. But far upstate New York would be a different story.
nvidia recently doubled the price[1] and have basically done zero marketing for it. They seem to be as prosperous as they want to be. When publishers tried to extort GFN, nvidia just shrugged and kept going (and have been adding dozens of games weekly).

[1] - Existing "founders" can keep their current price, under the caveat that apparently if a single billing detail changes the price goes to the current market price, presumably to avoid account transfers or sales.

In my experience (which doesn't mean I'm disagreeing with your experience), it's not that upper mgmt doesn't recognize the value of BI - they just don't want to invest in it. They want their cake without having to pay for it. It can be hard to find a place with mgmt that really understands that investing in developer velocity and good infrastructure pays way more dividends in the long term than constant short term "promise X, deliver X*0.8 to make customer think they got what they want, and repeat to get the contract".

But yeah, we could complain on and on about all the problems of shortsighted management... it's a tale as old as time.

While I also tend not to use the word, what other word would you use for the people colonizing your home? Keeping in mind that the reason Zionist is forbidden is that it could only mean "Israeli," so that word is presumably also not acceptable there.
I think it was mainly less likely because people were so much more likely to die of other causes, so they'd die before the cancer got a chance. Healthcare was at its most basic and out of reach for common people.

I'm sure some of our environmental issues make cancer more likely. But we shouldn't imagine that the pre-industrial world was super healthy. People were living in filth. This was in fact one of the reasons they died so soon.

It's also one of the few things we haven't really found a cure for. I think because each cancer is a different random genetic mutation that would benefit the most from a custom generated antibody or something. Whereas other major causes of death have been pretty much eradicated by things like antibiotics and vaccines. So I think this makes the numbers relatively higher.

And of course because healthcare was so poor, I'm sure there would also be many causes of death misattributed. Even in this day and age we can't seem to standardise it. Some countries attribute every death to coronavirus if the person was infected, others only if it was 100% certain to be the cause of death.
I love that the numbered points 1-3 go on and on about the dangers of "Linuxisms" and the need to use BSD as a desktop vs. MacOS and the problems with taking a patched ZFS-on-Linux as the reference upstream. Basically the standard list of purity arguments one sees, nothing special.

This is the same thing that happens to so many companies, and I blame Wall Street, and the growth at all costs mentality. We all know rationally that continuous growth is impossible, yet its what wallstreet and bean counters demand. Cadburys chocolate, used to be lovely, yet now its been cheapened. I'd love to see how much the new formula saves, and I'd bet it's not huge, but I buy a lot less because of it. Nett loss long term, but short term gain for a few quarters I'm sure. Why isn't being profitable, and sustainable behaviour rewarded? It's because volatility drives wall street, so they force companies to act for short term gains and effectively, irrationally.

They claim they are able to detect gender which according to the relevant Canadian government website https://cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/48642.html

> Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender diverse people

First it's not some hamfisted mixup of sex and gender:

> Terefore, this feld may
contain a mixture of NHS recorded gender and self-reported gender. Genetic sex in the UK Biobank was determined

And yet:

> Predicting gender from fundus photos, previously
inconceivable to those who spent their careers looking at retinas, also withstood external validation on an independent dataset of patients with different baseline demographics Although not likely to be clinically useful, this finding hints at the future potential of deep learning for the discovery of novel associations through unbiased modelling of high-dimensional data.

If we had a way to detect trans children, for sure that would be clinically useful!

Personally I'm not willing to invest in games I could lose access if they decides to pull the plug. I suppose they'd offer some kind of license transfer or some kind of compensation if that happened, but to me it seems like a risky deal from a consumer point of view. I'd be less worried if a purchased game was made available on alternative stores right off the bat.

With Steam I guess I'd be able to find a crack to get the games to work if Valve goes bankrupt, and with GOG I don't even have to worry about that because the game installers are DRM-free.
To me the article is more interesting as it details a shadow military-industrial effort (the article talks about links to Patreus) that’s been pushing an agenda to mine minerals perhaps valuable to the military but even more valuable to them personally. And of course the entire mining operation was abandoned under Obama because it financed militants, used children for the mining operation, and was extremely hazardous to the environment. Of course the Trump administration greenlit this scheme and the Afghan President’s family, which personally benefited from this arrangement (despite being banned by law) supported this arrangement (because hey, it’s not the American government, just well-connected private businesses).

The scale of corruption and self-dealing here enabled under the Trump administration is actually quite fascinating. No wonder he enjoys support from his constituents when he’s enriching them in this way. It’s how a lot of people choose to wield power unfortunately.
This is not true, which is apparent from the images.
I’d hazard a guess that a lot more people also died of “natural causes“. Unless you cut someone open, the way cancer actually kills you (organs shutting down, trouble breathing, etc) would be described as “natural causes” or getting old and dying…
Well I indeed know people who are through the reeducation camp, they are certainly changed, for a better mental and economical status. They were practicing some weirdass Sharia laws to their families and friends.

As for the Xinjiang reeducation news, they were originated from Adrian Zenz and a small group of reporters from Australia, who both have never put feet on Xinjiang. How much the whole Xinjiang incident is propaganda, and how much reality, I don't know.
