I got around to watching the entire talk. It's not convincing to me. The presentation tacitly assumes that the only benefit to type systems is catching type errors and ignores the benefits to code readability and tooling. It also assumes that time spend developing and time spend debugging are fungible and I find that a bit simplistic; I would gladly trade debugging time for development time, even if the ratio is uneven. Finally, it doesn't even talk about the runtime performance penalty that dynamic languages typically incur.

Aside:
It's worth commenting more on "code readability" because it cuts both ways. It can absolutely be the case that a complex, manifest type system can be a hindrance to understandably and productivity due to the "noise" of all the types that need to be written. I think struggling with C++ and (to a lesser extent) Java typing is part of the reason the industry really embraced dynamic languages in the 2000s. Python and Ruby were like a breath of fresh air. But eventually we built large systems with these languages and discovered the pain that comes from having no type-safety.

The trend I've seen in the last decade is to embrace type inference, with explicit type declarations on function signatures and otherwise only when needed for disambiguation. To me, this is the sweet spot, giving the benefits of static typing with much of the cleanliness and concision of dynamic languages.
And this is why I need to just pay someone else to handle this for me. I've read a bunch on this but I was under the (mistaken) assumption that the brackets for capital gains taxes were based on how much you made in gains (ie. up to $40K in /gains/ is taxed at 0%). Ok, well that sucks a little bit but really what that means is I'm going to get taxed at 15%, I knew 0% was too good to be true, even for long term capital gains.

EDIT: Thank you for calling that out, it will have saved me from an unpleasant surprise next April.
I only stay with Firefox for tree style tabs.

"... or ashamed by how many they had open"

What is this? I for one am proud of my (minimum) 4 dozen open tabs on average.

But on a more serious note, as a SE I rejoice when I see a "<5 minutes read" article. If it's more than that I just leave it open (if it seems interesting enough). Usually I go back to my backlog during the next week or so and read the ones I still deem interesting based on the title and a quick scroll through, those that don't catch my interest any more or are just too darn long will get C-w'd.

Also when I have a few dozen tabs open in my phone I just send them to my desktop(s) and close them on the phone - they were either too long to be read on a phone, or required some investigation before a commitment.
All these are common terms for static site generation, server side rendering, and web development in general.

If even the front end framework Svelte is new to you, that's hint you'd likely learn more by checking out Svelte.

It's not realistic to expect a project to spell out everything for a complete beginner.
Looks cool, but requires a server to store your open tabs, which is less cool.
It sounds like you want Nextcloud (https://nextcloud.com/athome/) or cozycloud (https://cozy.io/en/features/). Both are servers you can self-host, and mobile/desktop apps to make it more integrated.
They sort of made bold claims but they also called it their “better than nothing beta” to lower expectations. From starlink.com:

> During beta, users can expect to see data speeds vary from 50Mb/s to 150Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms in most locations over the next several months as we enhance the Starlink system. There will also be brief periods of no connectivity at all.

"Mueller: A president can be charged with obstruction of justice after leaving office" [1]

Statements that Congress could have impeached Trump can only be viewed as stated in bad faith. Congress did impeach Trump, but for political reasons the Senate refused to remove him.

Well, my issue is that these are issued on arrest because that news feed is considered newsworthy. Their later conviction or lack thereof often doesn't gather nearly as much press.

It can be pretty horrible for a person when a Google search primarily finds articles, along with a mugshot, about a crime that they didn't commit.
> Palestine is firing into cities

Those who do that, make Netanyahu stronger -- I think many people vote for him because they think he's better at stopping such things. (When in fact he encourages it by eg using military to take more land)

By firing rockets, they are Netanyahu's best recruiters for the elections.

Please don't say that "Palestinians" fire rockets? It's a small fraction, one in a thousand or less? who does that.

> firing into cities because it has no other means

That's like, "we cannot reach the military so let's stab a bunch of school children instead". Doesn't solve any problems, doesn't make a good impression

(And btw I think it'd be a bad and sad idea to fire rockets at military too. It's just ordinary people, there's general conscription in Israel. Now when I've said that I suppose I have to mention that I don't like violent settlers (those who are) and talking land from others.)

> Multi- and highres monitor support out of the box with proper scaling and readable fonts

What's funny, is this is the complete opposite experience that I had in every single way. Multi-monitors absolutely suck on macos unless you drop $1000 on mac monitors

Try running two external monitors with differing resolutions, in my experience, it will be stable about 1 time out of 20. The rest will have artifacting, refusal to recognize the monitor, or other weird behaviour.

Or try running a monitor that isn't at least 4k, the most recent macos removed text aliasing so text rendering on 1080/1440p monitors looks like something out of the 1980's.

Linux though? I've never once had an issue with external monitors using Ubuntu

Edit: Sitting here on my work mac, almost forgot about my favorite one! When running multiple monitor resolutions, mouse movement hitches and lags for seemingly no reason! Only a disconnect and reconnect of the external monitors fixes it!

Isn't there a potential downside to the UK approach in an environment where variants are increasing? I've seen some data suggesting that with only one jab the mRNA vaccines are only about 20% effective against the UK, SA and Brazilian variants (no data yet on the India variant), but that number jumps in to the 70% range with the 2nd dose. A delay of 12 weeks leaves a lot of people in that 20% efficacy range for those variants. Now some parts of the UK are starting to see increasing cases of the Indian variant.

I agree; distribution via git is better in many ways than distribution via tarball. I believe that npm and similar package managers mostly pull code from git repositories. Of course, even then you might want to double check that the package name hasn’t been hijacked or sold off.

Of course you can break the curl|sh into separate steps and check that the script isn’t malicious before you run it, but the fact that you have to do that makes it a bad idea to distribute software this way. If you were told to download an installation script, inspect it, and only then to run it then there would be less of a problem. curl|sh is yet another sign that we so often prefer convenience over reliability and safety.
I mean, Apple TV still gives you recommended stuff on your dashboard. That's just a stones throw away from the FireTV default of playing a preview of whatever is recommended to you on your dashboard, and that's basically a stones throw away to just showing you ads. You can't delineate whether something is an ad or not just based on where it's being shown. Apple already sells higher ranking search results in the app store (Suggested Apps), so it's not a radically different change from what we have now. Really it just involves Apple combining autoplay and context-aware suggestions.
Thanks for putting words to something I’ve been living with but unable to express.
I first noticed this "style" in the rebranding of dropbox. The "language" of the font shapes etc. looks like they get inspiration from a single source. Anyone knows what it is? Is this the "next" thing?
Why? I see "welcoming", "fresh", "friendlier" but those have no real meaning here. The changes seem pretty arbitrary, and for the worse in the custom typeface.

The ads using this new language look cool, slightly departing from 'corporate memphis', but could it have been done without changing the logotype?
That reasoning is really dumb. It's like saying school shootings are the ultimate stress test on a local police department. They sure are, but nobody in their right mind should ever argue that getting real world experience with one is ever a good thing.
The original poster said:

> in the end, The Mueller report admitted that no evidence was ever found to substantiate Trump or his associates or campaign ever working with Russians to interfere with the election?

and

> there never was any evidence for... the conspiracy theory that Trump or his campaign colluded with Putin to hack (or otherwise subvert) the election

These claims are strictly not true; Mueller found many instances where the Trump campaign directly worked with Russian officials in order to "get dirt on" Clinton or provided demographic information to Russian officials that helped those officials run (illegal) advertising/marketing campaigns for Trump. Just none of them were prosecutable based on the available evidence, according to Mueller.
Not only your opinion. It is fairly common among Forth enthousiasts to talk about “a Forth”, rather than “Forth”, as two Forths can be hugely different, yet be recognized as Forths (lisp is similar in that regard)

The ideal system is optimized for its problem domain. That means not only adding needed functionality, but also dropping unneeded functionality, and tweaking functionality to better fit the problem at hand. That’s not surprising for a system that shines when running with very little memory.

That’s different from, say C++. Nobody says clang, gcc and Visual C++ are “a C++”.

If they were philosophically similar to Forths and Lisps, those writing programs in them would be happy to change int promotion rules, operator precedence, vtable layout, etc, and different compilers would make different choices there.

>and so you suggest hurting the vast majority of people even more?

1. More people are hurt by price gouging of products with inelastic demand than hurt by limiting the price increase.

2. A completely floating gas price disproportionately affects disadvantaged folks who have no alternative, even when there are no outages.

I mean, I totally agree with OP, there's a straightforward solution: set up a government program that insulates people from the effects of a floating price proportionately to how disadvantaged they are, and then, after that, let the gas price float. That way we get your idea without hurting anyone! Win-win.
I guess one take away from this would be, be careful about hearing things that confirm your existing beliefs. Another might be that institutions with too much power and no true goal(being that witches do not exist in real life) become corrupt very easily.

Maybe there is some connection between the Spanish Inquisition and AI, given that most AI/ML systems end up reproducing biases inherent in the data/beliefs of those creating them.

It seems like a direct brain-to-speech approach would make more sense for this application (communication from paralyzed people.) This is sort of like trying to write with a theremin, eh?

I'm still on the far side with this, I know, but whenever these BCI stories go by I am bemused. You connect a brain to a computer and then "train a neural network" on the computer side, that makes no sense. The sophisticated NN is on the brain-side, yes? With an integrated subjective UI already, yes? You do not need fancy implants or hardware to "talk" to your machine, galvanic response and (now) micro-IMUs (inertial measurement units, one on each finger) are plenty of bits-per-second for a subjective Think-to-Type experience. Use hypnosis, it's easy, to program your brain to output a byte by changing the angle of your fingertips and then twitching the thumb to "clock" the data. Or just standard stenotype, it would likely be easier, eh?

You don't need fancy hardware or NN software (and especially surgery to stick electrodes in your brain) to "talk" to your machine with your mind, you already have all the technology you need "built in" to your nervous system. It's not even difficult to use. Literally the first thing I learned to do when I was studying (self-)hypnosis was setting up a binary "yes/no" signal (a finger twitch) from my unconscious mind to facilitate communication.

Anyhow, not to go on and on about it, the bottom line is when you connect a computer to a brain please remember that the brain is the fancier, more powerful "device", okay? You will waste less time. (I am not sure why I am not able or willing to try to make something out of this. I can talk to my computer well enough that I don't bother with BCI. ANd somehow the plight of these poor folks doesn't move me enough to do something. Am I a moral cretin? I'm seriously you guys. Should I try (harder) to get something going with simple hypnotic BCI systems? HN?)

Yeah, I agree. The new logo is fine and the logic behind it seems pretty solid. But the new font is... idk, it's just 'off'.
A lot of comments here saying that this is a flawed study because we don't know how the pandemic may have impacted a statistical decline in productivity. I must ask, why is this not a concern when someone anecdotally or statistically shows an increase in productivity from Covid WFH? The response is instead something like "we've known it all along! WFH is better!".

Lambda supports container images now and it works really well for letting you choose what languages and runtimes you want to support.

I definitely agree with the trackpad complaints. Pre-2016 MacBook trackpads were basically perfect. But the newer ones are truly junk. I'm holding onto my 2015 Air as long as possible, for this and other reasons related to the hardware.

> I know that HDMI 2.0 includes Ethernet and if the host (computer or TV stick) has internet it will transparently share it with the TV

Technically, you can encode whatever the hell you want over an HDMI cable. Whether or not the terminating end is able to receive/interpret it is a different story, however. The cost of implementing end-to-end-Ethernet-over-HDMI is so high that it would almost certainly be prohibitive to modern production, much less the production capabilities of 2013, when the spec for HDMI 2.0 was released.
> The reality is that one is innocent until proven guilty.

The *principle* is that one is innocent until proven guilty.

The reality is that not every person adheres to that principle in every situation when it comes their own internal judgement of people.

> I'm not interested in weakening this fundamental right to accommodate people who are uncomfortable admitting the fallibility of the police or our justice system.

The problem is that they aren't asking you to accommodate them. They already are there, perfectly accommodated, in the state of prematurely judging people's innocence.

The reality is that any policy has to work by improving this not ideal situation.
You're going to need to cite evidence. I read the Mueller report and found there no statements consistent with yours.

Edit: I see you edited to remove your strong claim and dilute it with an interpretation that you have provided, which is legally meaningless.
> You can't get away with (at least not easily and not for a long period of time) wasting man-hours ($$$) on stuff that has no positive impact toward whatever metrics you are evaluated against (crime stats in the case of the cops) when resources are tight.

Most police departments are not really evaluated on crime stats, they are evaluated against the political satisfaction of the locally politically powerful (which tend to be the local economic elites.)

Who is hurt by crime (and who gets away with it) is usually more important than the level of crime.
Sure, I’m not expecting anything. I made a suggestion for a minor improvement.

Please point me to when I said there was no proof for Manafort giving Kilimnik polling data. (I didn't, what I was skeptic about was that Manafort gave Russian Intelligence sensitive campaign data and that there was connection from the Trump campaign to Russian Intelligence).

Now, please answer my question.
Nanoprecise – Prediction with Precision
Looks like I've 81 tabs open in this Firefox window. It's not uncommon that I'll be over 1k (across one window per monitor).

With `%` to search across open tabs, and an unused tab not really taking any meaningful amount of resources (especially with Auto Tab Discard) I open a whole load of tabs, close them if I realise I'm done with them while I'm looking at them, and if I don't close the tab then that's fine -- it's probably scrolled off the left of the tab bar where I can't see it and it'll get cleaned up in due course.
> I think

What you think is irrelevant, US intelligence classifies the data as sensitive. The fact is that Manafort lied about sharing the data with Kilimnik, that Barr tried to keep it a secret.

But lets see what the Senate report actually says:

"It is our conclusion, based on the facts detailed in the Committee's Report, that the Russian intelligence services' assault on the integrity of the 2016 U.S. electoral process[,] and Trump and his associates' participation in and enabling of this Russian activity, represents one of the single most grave counterintelligence threats to American national security in the modem era."

> By now I am consciously trying to limit any async parts of the program to a simple and stupid "Rust-light" style without any "fancy" features such as traits or closures, which does not feel like a proper solution.

I disagree that this is bad, and I think you've made a good decision.

I find that too many Rust programmers reach for a closure WAY too often and, even when they should grab a closure, they make it far too complicated. Closures should be short. Inline closures are nice when they're a single line part of "collect()" (although, I've seen some that make me want to hang the author ...).

However, if your closure is 15 lines long invoking a builder chain (this is a common issue in EventLoop type closures), that should be a function. This is before I get started about how builder chains are a gigantic misfeature to paper over the fact that the language doesn't have default/named function arguments.

Anyway ... I have found that "make it a named function and call it" is often a far better way to communicate exactly what your intent was.
