The analogy here doesn't work well for a few reasons....

1. It mixes mapping math calculations with published information like texts.

2. The AI in star trek worked to serve the end user, in this case Picard. In our world the AI systems are designed to serve the software's owner such as Google. It's not trying to give you the best answer. Instead it's trying to provide you responses that make Google the most money or get them into positions of power and influence the leaders want.

3. Star Trek takes place in a world where the Federation doesn't use money and everyone is motivated to put in a hard days work. On most planets they don't have poor. This does not fit the societal cultural dynamic we have now.

> We may need to find a better model for encouraging content contribution to society besides copyright and demanding royalties on every use.

Right now we have a problem where people are trying to step on content creators. I was reading an example of where singers were trying to get added to songs as writers when they didn't write songs so they could get more of the writers royalty from sales. We live in a world where some will beg, borrow, steal, plagiarize, and generally try to hurt others to get a leg up. Including many at big businesses who would leverage AI for that.

We may hope for the best but we should plan for the worst.
>It wasn’t just all price. It was literally this “develop at home” issue.

Whether you're right or not, I think I agree with the idea.

It also seems to me that, in general, working with a different CPU architecture and instruction set implies that the new & improved stuff has to be significantly better to be worth the cost and risk.

At this point, is one really that much better than another? Are large improvements happening at the margin?

Another camel that'll poke it's head in the tent, in large/expensive embedded (which I realize that the parts in the article aren't aimed at) is whether a CPU and it's battlegroup of other stuff will be supported right off the bat by software infrastructure and later on by actually being available in the long run. You have to wonder how out on a limb anyone who used a Motorola 88k felt.
the people on the Wendover YouTube channel did a video on this back in March which explained the issue really well.

Kobo Forma. I'm an avid eBook reader so the little things add up. Going from the Kindle to the Forma was a huge upgrade. Font rendering, warm light, larger form factor, and Pocket integration amongst a host of other little niceties make it pretty much a perfect experience for me.

they dont. you can just move to a place where the ground is dirt cheap, trade something for it. build your own house, garden and maybe get some chickens for eggs. and you can just live like that until you die. no taxes, no bosses, everyone can do it. but people dont want to do that, because it's way too much work. People rather be lazy and just take a 9to5 job, eat comfort food and live with their fancy iphone and internet. oh the horror.

edit: you also might want to get some sheep, to make new clothes.
I make transcripts of all my work using Descript. It uses Google's speech-to-text algo (same as the one in youtube presumably) and gives you a transcript you can then edit. It costs $15/month I believe, and you have to spend some time editing the transcript that realistically won't be read by many, but it works pretty well ime (no affiliation besides being a happy customer)

This resonated with me. I actually took that road construction job as a flagger. I stood there turning that stop sign back and forth, directing traffic, for a whole summer. I felt, and still feel it was the lowest point of my career. My brain was starved in the truest sense of the word and it gave me new fire to complete my college degree.

Which was Electrical Engineering. I didn't learn that I really should have gone for computer science, computer engineering, or something along those lines until after 5 years of work in the industry. I was just carrying the family flag of engineering.

I contracted with a friend's company after telling them that I needed a change of work and was interested in software. After telling them I had zero professional experience writing code (two CS classes in college), they assured me they would get me up and running.

Now here I am as a full stack engineer just over a year later. I really don't know how I got here. But I do know that this type of work is incredibly gratifying and I should have pursued it early on.

Somehow as I grew up I got the idea in my head that work should be your personal crucible and that loving work was really a sign of workaholism. So I always took those jobs that were miserable just to get a paycheck. I hope I can help my kids find work best suited for them.
"Everyone panic!"

I hate articles like this, injecting emotion and whatnot in subtle ways.

For example, the term "disturbing" is used, though that is the author's word, not the scientists'. Is the author qualified to conclude these findings are disturbing? Or is this projection/sensationalism, intended to frighten the reader?

My bet is on the latter.
You just say that the teams are self-managed. I worked in self-managed teams and dont want to do that anymore. I will self-select myself out, because I hated the politics and toxicity it brought in.
* The Moonlander keyboard (https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/)

It's not without issues, but the firmware and configurability is so much better than what I was used to from Kinesis. It has made me excited to tailor my keyboard layout to how I'm actually using it day-to-day.
It’s also just a huge step back from ‘ethical’. Responsible implies one can hide behind ‘technical limitations’ or ‘business concerns’. It means you took the unethical option but you at least weighed the pros and cons first
Sorry, I should have emphasized really.

Compared to the other languages I know, the difference between "school English" and "English on the street" is larger. But of course the other two (German and Hungarian) could be exceptions!

I have heard the same thing said of Spanish, at least as spoken by the working class in Madrid.

Here is another BBC article, from which I learned that this international insurance company has organized training for native speakers to speak in a more understandable manner:

> After taking an in-company e-learning course to help native English speakers communicate better with non-native speakers, Barron slowed down his pace of speaking and edited his “American speak” to avoid jargon and idioms that don’t translate globally.

Apple AirPods Max headphones. It's been a long time since I was so pleased with a hardware purchase.
1999 GMC Savanna passenger van (seats removed) for use as a farm truck. It’s huge inside and easily holds 4x8 sheets of ply. Here in Seattle it gets wet a lot so I never have to worry about transporting or storing in the rain. Has 8 cylinder engine that will last forever and is easyish to maintain. I get an surprising amount of sheepish interest/envy from dudes who had the same idea but who bought pickups (which seldom even have full size beds anymore) because the pickups look better.

Shark brand vacuum cleaner. Kind of self cleaning, and mandatory because my wife has thick hair. I have spent thousands on vacuums but this is the only one that lasts an entire floor of the house without stopping to cut out the hair, which I hate doing. Then a second shark vacuum cleaner at the office, which is large and 2 floors. I also like the shark because no bags. I am much more likely to do spot cleanups when I won’t waste time going to the other side of another floor.

Rolling wire laundry basket from the Container Store that we use for indoor trash cans. They look great and rolling them where needed is a huge plus. Bought a bunch of those for house and office.
Git is a distributed version control system, by design and definition it's decentralized.

Lacks replication? What do you think the git clone and fetch commands do?

Validation is easily turned on, you can tell git to traverse the tree it pulls and make sure it's cryptographic integrity is upheld, that just a config flag.

Consensus is that "hard" one, but even that has already been solved on community-by-community basis. For the Linux kernel the community consensus is that Linus git repo is truth, but that can easily be changed if the community wanted to.

Certainly you need a few extra bits and bobs to build a proper cryptocurrency on top of git. But all the basics are there, and for many applications a git repository would be a perfect substitute for blockchain.
Me too! Hard to justify using my regular brewing machine anymore. Aeropress just makes a higher quality cup. Quantity be damned, I’ll make multiple cups on the aeropress all day.
Raspberry Pi for me. Took me a long time to finally decide to get one, but I bought a house about a year and a half ago and I've been having a lot of fun messing around with home automation stuff via Home Assistant.

I got a Eufy RoboVac myself and it's not as great as I thought it would be. Although that's partially because of the layout of my home that I haven't found a good spot to put it that it can clean well without me moving a lot of stuff out of the way.
They seem to be attributing a lot malice to his actions that isn't evident. This is the most low stakes power play I've seen play out. Just talk to the guy directly instead of stomping off.
I don't think it does. curl has been maintained for nearly 25 years now; there's a benefit to that, and I'd need someone to come up with very compelling reasons to write a new implementation before abandoning it beyond "my code is shorter".
This is for a ham license. You can hit repeaters in space (call them OSCARS) or have a satellite that broadcasts images using one of the approved methods.

It doesn't allow for certain types of things. Usually you would need a different type of license for satellite control and communication. That one is usually a frequency allocated to you by the FCC/ITU.

How are customers on trains supposed to vote with their wallets? It's not as if you can set up competing parallel networks running trains side by side between identical destinations at varying levels of speed and comfort.

Capacity is physically constrained, especially on an ancient network like the UK's.

Timetable slots are scarce and have to be centrally coordinated and managed.

There is no sparkly market magic that will make these constraints disappear and somehow give customers more choice about where to go, when, and with whom. And there is no chance whatsoever that operators can compete on price.

The only way to lower prices is nationalise the entire industry and replace privatisation with direct investment, on the basis that transport infrastructure is a social cost with significant indirect benefits, and cannot possibly be run as a self-sustaining profitable business on a national scale.

The idea that competition for passengers will somehow make profitability possible is a dilettante-level view that has no insight into how the industry actually operates.

We've already had decades of this kind of thinking, and the result has been mediocre services, vastly increased direct subsidies, and ballooning fares.
It seems like you're talking about the APIs for a specific library (React Hook Form) rather than React in general.

Overall, hooks allow libraries to package custom behavior. The `useSelector` hook mentioned above is a React-Redux-specific API that manages subscribing to the store and re-rendering the component when the requested extracted state value changes. So, the "proliferation" you're talking about here is simply libraries and individuals building their own specific logic on top of React's primitives, in the same way that users build specific components on top of React's component primitives.

I have no specific knowledge here but I imagine the x86-64 builds are far better tested, regarding correctness. As cmrdporcupine points out, the performance of the x86-64 builds will also have been better studied. Whether it's an issue in practice, I don't know, but if you're looking to minimize risk, there are good reasons to stick with x86-64.

The other day I was inspecting some software for an industrial pump to advise how to customise/debug it and sure enough the source code is in some proprietary language which compiles into a Java applet.

Not sure when was that app written, but the control unit was assembled just months ago.
That still gives power to the developer. O could add an anti-consumer change and call it a security feature, prompting devices to automatically update it.

Update: since Ronne Ice Shelf, from which A-76 separated, has ice thickness of about 150 meters [1], if A-76 has the same level above the water as the Ice shelf, about the same surface underwater (which likely is not the case, but good enough for this rough estimate), then 9/10 of the whole iceberg volume is underwater, meaning that the depth underwater is about 1.3 km. Though the area of the iceberg usually increases underwater and the depth in that place is just about 500m[2], so likely it is something like that.

What possible reason would they have for doing so? They would lose sales and search engine originated traffic.
I still remain in the "there is a mismatch of expectations" camp. If there is blame to be placed somewhere, I would assign the majority of it to new grads (and boot campers and self taught devs).

With the dominance of tech in the mindshare of people looking for a job, they're only looking at well known tech companies. Apple, Google, Facebook, etc... and these are also the places that can afford to take a risk on a new dev as they've got the institutional inertia to help carry someone along.

The flip side of that is that many people entering the job market don't consider companies like Dominos (only pizza company with a software patent), UPS (that whole 'don't make left turns' navigation thing), Target (early leader in data science), or McDonalds (hiring for some neat stuff in AI drive throughs).

Next, new grads are often expecting that the wages that the big tech companies can offer are standard across the field. I've more than once seen on Reddit a new grad getting an offer (that they applied to) in the northern Great Plains and then backing out when they were offered 70k to work in Fargo.

Another version of the "where are you applying" is that they're only applying to companies in Seattle, SF, and LA and then complaining that they can't find a job.

The idea that seems to be consistent with these new grads is a "I am worth $100,000 and I won't accept anything less." There's a consistent statement that the person is worth that much rather than the work that they do is worth that much.

Spend some time in /r/cscareerquestions to get more of this.

Those trying to hire aren't blameless in this. Expecting developers to fit nicely into the same payroll box as everyone else who reports to a manager in the office with a white collar job could very well mean that the offer is well below what someone with the necessary skills would accept.

My rough ballpark for what a dev should get (with large error bars) is 2x per capita income for the area. That tends to get fairly close to acceptable.
By that definition there is no such thing as a volunteer...

The term 'fief' comes from Medieval land tenure, where it's land granted to a lord in exchange for feudal service. Pop medievalism holds that feudal lords had pretty unlimited rights (the reality is that it's far more complex), and so the term 'fiefdom' in modern contexts carries a connotation that the ruler of the fiefdom is ruling it tyrannically. Another element of the modern connotation is that a fiefdom is usually small, and the ruler is acting as if it's rather more important than it actually is.

In short, it's a backhanded insult.
Define "involved" though. Military operations have extremely long logistics tails compared to civilian law enforcement, thus inflating the personnel on the books.

A bit of a lightbulb moment for me as i didn't want to go back into people management. I now use this term to set out what i have and what i can do for the project and how that has lead to greater success/value of a product.

It also highlights to management what happens if i was to leave.
I'm a native English speaker and I find the use of colloquialisms, abbreviations, and the like frustrating as well. There is no good reason to not take care in the choice of words when communicating in a professional setting, regardless of the language used or the native language(s) audience receiving the communication.

I try to work really hard on not using too many idioms and sayings in slack. Same goes for memes specific to American culture. Or if I use one accidentally, define the meaning.

OTOH sometimes other native English speakers get frustrated with this, and I’ll hear feedback like “YES WE KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS” when in reality this person is just speaking for themselves...

It’s a tricky balance because if I know someone has a shared cultural context, idioms, etc can make the communication more fluid, efficient etc. So I find it’s a constant calibration.
I'm not familiar enough with either of those platforms to answer that specific question, it was more a general comment on the respective developer cultures. I've worked on several Java codebases where swallowing exceptions was the norm, but in their defense it was because several libraries were way too chatty in their use of exceptions.
> Arguing that you're entitled to post on a platform, and..

Couldn't the same argument justify segregated businesses e.g. restaurants with "No blacks or Irish".

You might thing racial lines make it a different thing, but TBH, if there is unacceptable harms in discriminating on race, I can't see how it can't also exist discriminating on opinion/speech, which is also important (as Freedom of Speech is considered important, at least in the US).

If private business can be regulated on one topic, why not another? Plus the argument can be flipped: Yes, that is their business, so they can choose who they do business with; but this is our country, so we can choose who is allowed to do business, and how.

> The number of people who here to argue that they have some sort of 'right' to upload content for Facebook to publish

But people do have the right to speak freely. If all public domains where private, they would effectively lose that right. The issue here isn't just that facebook determines who can "speak", but that facebook and only a few other tech giants dominate the "cyber" public domain - and alternatives like parler disallowed one similar ground "why should private hosting not be allowed to choose who they host";
at some point if you allow private companies to monopolize something, and without regulations on how, they end up dictating how people are allowed to use anything in that domain.
