Even if they release their server side source code how can you ensure that the deployed version matches the source ? Eventually there is always a thread of trust.

This is good if you want work to be a part of your life, which almost nobody wants. It's terrible for a good work/life balance, pretty soon you're going to be stressed 24/7 because you "should be working right now".
We need to create a measure of web page size that, like wire gauge, is a smaller number the bigger the size. Call it "performance index" or something like that.

Then disparage the small number earned by bloated sites and demand bigger numbers. Brag about the big numbers you achieve and charge more.

We aren't smart. Not smarter than the people who made the last few thousand years of history, anyway. We're the same dumb animals that are attracted to bigger everything even when it otherwise negatively impacts our own personal quality of life.

Call it the Predicted Impact of Performance on Engagement. PIPE. This web site has a pathetically small pipe. It needs to have a much bigger pipe. Yes, we are this dumb, and we ought to account for it.
At least 70% of what's in the script can also be done via the UI, and I'd say another 10% is stuff you really shouldn't do anyway (disabling SmartScreen etc.)... The telemetry bit is about 20 or lines, if that.
Ultimately, for any language to become popular, it must bring something radically new on the table (e.g. Java: relative performance, simplicity and safety; Python: immediacy; etc.), and/or have a big company behind. D doesn't have any of the two (unfortunately! I do appreciate the language).

This viewpoint is typically represented by the question "what can I do in X that I can't in C++?".

Something I personally find interesting is the thought experiment: if Golang was written by a small actor, and D by a big one, which one would have succeeded?
I wonder how much it equates to trust too.

My employer trusts me to work from home, that's good.

If they suddenly announced I had to come in because some disconnected management chain doesn't trust me to do the thing, or wants to make the policy because some managers can't handle it, or other employees can't handle it. That changes the relationship entirely, I'm just a widget, I'm way more likely to move on.

It also impacts my family and that changes the dynamic as well.

The employer might see it as a rudimentary policy, but to me it is a lot more.
Personally, I'm looking forward to going back to the office. I am an extremely introverted person and during the pandemic, I've gone upwards of 5 months without saying another word to a person face-to-face. I personally prefer that and don't feel lonely or anything; I just don't need social interaction in my day-to-day life. But I know that in the long term, it's going to have negative consequences for me in terms of networking and just friendships in general. These are basic things that you need that I am completely incapable of achieving without it being forced upon me in an office environment.

Yes, I hate driving. But I'll move closer to the office (which we're relocating to a much further location currently) and I'll get it to <20 minutes each way, which is acceptable.

Just because you can't find arguments for it in your life doesn't mean others can't. I need that environment and if my job went remote-only, I'd quit without any hesitation just as employees are quitting after being asked to return to the office. We shouldn't go from one extreme (everyone has to be in an office) to the other (there is no office at all).

We need to accept hybrid solutions where an office exists and maybe you're expected to be there once every week or two or something. We need to accept that some people work better remote and others work better in an office. We're trying to build the most efficient working environment for the team in general, not just one or two people one way or the other.
Well, that ended up centralizing email, so basically the beginning of the end of the old web.
Google Groups needs to die. Or at least permanently dissociate from Usenet.

Every time they pull this temporary ban, the quality of the affected newsgroups improves.

The most recent stunt pulled by GG is that some genius decided that punctuation characters should be dropped from newsgroup names when posting. So now when GG users post to comp.lang.c++, the post goes to comp.lang.c.

GG does not provide a useablee Usenet archive. GG's net contribution to the Usenet ecosystem is negative.

One notable recent improvement I will mention is better support for dark mode in the default theme (although I think this fix precedes Firefox 89, it's definitely available in Firefox 88). I previously had to hack the CSS to prevent Firefox pages from searing out my eyes with white at night.

These days I'm more satisfied with the default CSS on e.g. the Firefox Home page, although some pages like "view source" still do not respect dark mode unless I edit them.
You're seeing a local maxima. The elite are earning your full salary in one day simply by the interest gained on their capital, and they have actual power to exert their will upon society and shape the future of mankind. They have the resources and ability to survive the next great filter and form a breakaway civilization, but at this stage of the game, you and I do not.
That's basically what I did 12 years ago: the benefits of working from home were too appealing, so I quit my job, started my own company, and have worked from home ever since (the only exception was a post-acquisition stretch where I had to go in occasionally, but after I paid my dues I quit and started another company).

It might not be for everyone, but I absolutely love it. Of all the benefits, the biggest is time - it's a precious resource, and for me at least, working in an office wastes way too much of it (commute, tons of meetings, etc.).
Yeah this definitely a government overreach thing rather than google's fault. Their implementation of the policy is kind of awful I suppose though.
I can definitely see it when someone works later than usual (me) and is in the middle of something and has a question for someone who usually works at normal time or earlier than everyone else.

When I'm in that situation, I don't expect a response immediately. I know I'm a night owl and other people aren't. I'm sure other people do. At the same token, when I work late and the early people schedule an 8am meeting, it's the same.

Having said all that, the only difference for me in this scenario is whether or not I commute to the office every day. Same, same.
I make a website builder and it is a constant battle to try to keep websites to a certain size.

Imagery and video are the biggest enemies. Partly because users don't know the filesizes of their imagery (so we either recompress / resample and then image quality suffers, or we leave imagery untouched and then you have a bloated website).

Then if you start embedding 3rd party things like video players, size just explodes. I've noticed, much to my chagrin, that my own homepage (https://pinkpigeon.co.uk) does 8mb in transfers, which on my 10mbit connection is not exactly snappy.

The irony is, that in terms of pure JS and CSS our sites are comparitively light (Wordpress and Squarespace sites are often much heavier on those two metrics).

But, people want rich content. They want imagery and videos. I have considered using WebP, just to find out that Safari doesn't support it. So I'm back to JPEG until Apple leaves the dark ages, or we can all agree on an image format like AVIF etc.
> Hell, not even Fortran and Cobol are really dead, and Perl is way more popular still.

I'm sympathetic to Perl, having gotten a huge amount of value from it over the years, but I'd bet that at its peak it was less than 10% of the number of lines of code written in COBOL since the latter had close to half a century head start and the fields where it was used made it a key component of the global financial network. That's generally harder to replace than the average Perl code and since there was a direct value visible from it companies also were less hesitant to hire people to throw bodies at maintenance.

While Joe random citizen may have illusion of grandeur, they probably are not important enough to be targeted by an advanced drone attack.

Both scripts and perl itself are being maintained. It's definitely not dead and pretty unlikely to die any time soon.
I wouldn't look at the average or even the median. I would look at the 90%.

In cities and for many tech workers it's easy to get really fast Internet connections. What about rural locations? For example, 90% of the US is rural. What about suburb or low income locations? What about countries that do not have the infrastructure investment of the west?

As more things move online only or mostly online it's important to not look at the experience for those with the top speeds but those who are near the bottom. Especially for those who are on the bottom end of speeds and bandwidth limits.
M&A is regulated, it's not a totally free market. If company A buys company B, the government allowed them to do so. There are plenty of scenarios where they won't.

I think the market here is people that can't or won't crank out a script or CLI to do the same thing. That audience has become relatively fair in size as programming has grown.

Even there, the code already records how the code behaves. The question is always which of those behaviors are intentional, meaningful. I am unable to fathom the utility of recording an arbitrary slice of behaviors, because those are very likely to be orthogonal or even contrary to the actual intent of the system. For example, every bug is part of how the code actually behaves.

I would much rather inherit a code base with zero tests than ones automatically generated by people who "just don't want to write tests".
It sounds to me like you're reading too far into things and taking online posts too seriously.

When someone posts a picture of a salad I don't suggest they're signalling their dietary virtue. When someone posts a picture of them hanging out with their friends I don't suggest they're signalling their virtue of being popular. Sometimes people post about things and it's fine to just ignore them and move on if it doesn't appeal to you.
Rejection can seem to be overwhelming and all-important because of pack-mentality behaviors that sustained our species long ago. EG...belonging to a pack/tribe/whatever increased your odds of survival against predators. Getting kicked out of the pack thousands of years ago was likely a death sentence. Old habits(and our mental/emotional reactions to them) die hard.
I guess it depends on the annoyance? I use NoScript, and it's true that sites load a lot faster. Because an empty page that reads "You must enable JavaScript to view this app" would qualify as a very small payload by almost any standard.

Ace Coding, Algorithms, Data Structures, System Design, Machine Learning and More
Just skimmed through the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.14049.pdf, it seems like they are using some sort of heuristically mutating a test suite until it's fully branch covered, based on calculating `branch distance` for each predicate. Why isn't a SMT solver like Z3-solver being used here to solve for the predicate (generating inputs to evaluate to true/false)? Since it's getting so powerful, and python container/dict/string(regex) operation can also be modeled conveniently.

And I'm also wondering, whether there is a return based automatic test generation, that start from the return value, and resolve all variables used and gather all possible return values with its constraint, and feed those to z3 to generate inputs to cover. It seems like it will help with branch explosion by eliminating unused branch, and only focus on branch that is being used.

Edit: it looks like CrossHair[0] is a similar tool that uses Z3 to find counter examples for predicates.

I don't think software developers/professionals have acquired the cultural capital to be viewed as elites quite yet. I think much of the antagonistic Silicon Valley coverage in publications like NYT, which one could say are more traditionally elite, is driven by a difficulty with reckoning with their material decline and the emergence of these new candidate elites.
