Picking Svelte is risky, given its low adoption. I'm not saying Svelte won't ever be widely adopted, but there's a risk that it fades away and you're stuck using a dead framework.
On what timescale, at what level of capital investment?
A win-win solution would be for Microsoft to concentrate its resources on the 'Windows' GUI layer built on top of a GNU-Linux OS.

That would reduce their programmer requirements because they would no longer be working on the OS, but only on the GUI. That is pretty much what Apple did around 20 years ago with OSX. It would also permit them to make new releases every year or so, instead of every 5 years.

Meanwhile the world's open-source resources will maintain the underlying GNU-Linux OS that Microsoft, like every other software company, can freely use.

10 years of experience as a software engineer in R&D, with 5 of those being a team lead. Recent work includes software for automation, a CubeSat mission, and maritime domain awareness. Looking for opportunities to learn and build, whether it be something related to my past experience or something completely different. BS in Computer Science and working on an MS with a focus on AI.
> Did you actually read the study I linked?

Yes. It makes the general argument (not specific to Covid) that is known to any evolutionary biologist: partial selective pressure causes an organism to evolve away from that pressure. It's why we tell people to take their entire course of antibiotics.

It in no way implies that the organism will evolve to do anything else. You wrote this:

> Additionally, we know that leaky vaccines and continued spread may cause greater pathogenicity.

This is NOT supported by evidence, except in the completely silly sense that the virus "may" do anything, if it is allowed to continue existing.

If we partially vaccinate, SARS-CoV2 "may" evolve legs and do a little dance...but it probably won't (...and for that matter, it probably will hit an upper limit on transmissibility as well. But now I am speculating, if only in an evidence-based manner.)
Not really, considering that every person who used the trick didn't even open it and returned it immediately after getting their account recovered. Facebook already caught on to this.
In 2010, I lived in Houston and worked at an ice rink (which are opposite climates especially when walking on the ice -- so theoretically hard on any footware). I bought a pair of boots from Academy which cost $80. Those boots lasted until about 6 months ago when the center of the bottom of the rubber split.

Yes it's absolutely possible for well-built footwear to last a long time.
> But is that the case?

Dunno. (Elsewhere in this thread, the guy who built them reported that he isn't on the git dev team any more, so perhaps not too promising.)

> Won’t this just be used in addition to the old commands (except checkout)?

That's still a massive improvement, since checkout was arguably the main culprit. Also, it was never the case that you'd have to replace all git commands to achieve consistency: Many (hopefully most) already had consistent naming of arguments and options. So make your new ones compatible with the largest set of internally-consistent ones already present, and you only need to replace a minority. (Worst case, if all N were incompatible with each other, you'd have to replace N-1 -- but you could still keep one. :-)

Then there's also usage frequency to consider. Given that checkout is the command most inconsistent with others, often inconsistent even with itself, and among the very most used ones overall -- almost certainly, in my estimation, the most used of the candidates for replacement -- I'd say even if nothing more comes of this, it's a huge net win.

Also note that it's not a case of "two separate UXes you must use at the same time": git checkout is still there; no piece of the "old control panel" has -- AFAIK, or has any? -- been disabled or removed.
Feels like the flappy bird of paper trading! Short sweet and addictive.
Keyboard navigations as in up/left/right/down jumps around somewhat haphazardly placed items. Not tab/shift-tab accessibility.

And you are right that React is not a good fit for these things. That's why I say it's very limiting.

Also, for what it's worth, you might be mistaking "the jquery way" with "the vanilla way." As in:

- working with HTMLElements

- vs working with a superset (tsx) of a superset (ts) of javascript meant to look like html (sometimes), that creates js components that then create html that is then diffed with last html and finally applied to the appropriate innerHTML (and don't forget about all the hooks!).

It does, but "requires a Facebook account" doesn't entirely capture the nature of Oculus' requirements. If, for instance, Twitter sold hardware that required a Twitter account, that would indeed be the beginning and end of it – create a new Twitter account for the hardware, and off you go.

What Oculus requires, however, is your Facebook account, as in the one you created over a decade ago and never use but is full of all your friends' pictures of their children and/or political memes.

Creating a separate account just for using the hardware is not only expressly forbidden, but can result in you being locked out of your device: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/oculus-quest-2-users-banne... And if you truly do not have an existing account, good luck convincing the algorithms of that.
I would love a professional excuse to have to learn a new language.

I learned C/C++ (the latter now completely out of date) and Java through the late 90s / early 2000s, and also used matlab extensively for scripting.

In the last 10 years I have learned python (crticial mass in data science / ML), bash/coreutils/awk (practicality based on work environment, was always aware to some extent but now full time on linux and these have been game changing), Julia (personal interest, sold on how powerful it can be for my area, even if it's still rough around the edges), Scheme (not proficient but read SICP and worked to follow the examples, so I see it as an instructional language that helps me thing about how to do thing)

On my list are go (critical mass, interesting systems programming stuff), F# (an excuse to do FP and want to take diffsharp for a spin), less pressing, I'd like to try Zig or a similar "C replacement".

Would also add that in python which I do every day, I am always learning new libraries plus different (e.g. trying to be pure FP just for fun) ways of doing stuff.

So TLDR, yes I would learn a new language, and I'd be induced to by curiosity about different ways of doing things mostly. What actually gets me to dig in is probably having some professional way to justify spending the time.
PBS, NPR and local affiliates of both have long been on the web. All you need to do is frequent and support them...

How do you get a Job in tech?
I have spent about a decade being a professional resume submitter. After college, my parents promised to pay for college only to leave me with 100k in debt. So all I ever wanted in life was to work. I have spent years learning Django, Javascript,HTML and CSS and can make applications from scratch (front and back end). Yet I cannot find work for the life of me. I genuinely don't get it and never will considering all I get back as a response is a robot.

Contrast this to my experience with humanity, which seems to genuinely not want to work, yet they can easily find work with little to no effort. I've seen people who created stick figures land Microsoft designer jobs. I genuinely do not understand humanity nor do I understand its hiring methods.

Considering I haven't made a dent in my debt and will be homeless soon, I will probably kill myself so I don't have any expectation in life anymore.

So I am just looking for someone who will actually be real and explain what the hell is going on before I decide to be too impulsive one. It is coming...
Shocked me to see Rainbo referenced. The photo booth is still there.
What's to stop people from building an integration that requires the API keys from the self-serve access flow? e.g. in the US people are OK with giving their password to Plaid?
The worrying part is assuming we're all on board with the implication that whataboutery is a bad or invalid form of discussion. So many times I see relevant lines of discussion pointlessly shutdown because someone shouts whataboutism as if it discredits the argument or point.
> This argument would have a lot more merit if Earth and Mars were similar, but they're utterly not.

So where's the better choice for redundancy?

> The difficulty, expense, and risk of setting up life on Mars absolutely pales in comparison to cleaning-up life on Earth.

First, that's irrelevant, as a sustainable colony on Mars provides something that you don't get no matter how much you clean up Earth. It can be pristine, it still doesn't get you redundancy.

Second, I don't think it's true that the price is so far in that direction. Cleaning up Earth is monumentally expensive as well, depending on what you even mean by that.

> Suppose there were a Mars colony. How many years before that colony could go on indefinitely if it didn't have support from Earth?

Sustainable in that it can produce the materials needed for modern living? I very long time, I imagine. Sustainable in that it provides enough food and water that a group of people could survive without having to worry about modern conveniences? Much less, and that's always got to be the first step, so that's what we go for.

Even if people on a mars colony ended up living a more simple existence in the case of the loss of Earth, that's still a chance for them to advance and continue that wouldn't exist with the world ending disaster on Earth.
Please, some manufacturer:

- slate form factor < 6"; the phone should fit in my damn pocket
- no hole punch or notch for the camera on the front (how was this even acceptable to consumers, it looks like shit)
- no otherwise irregular protrusions for the back camera or whatever

Is this just impossible now?

Think Galaxy S9, but just with upgraded hardware and maybe smaller bottom bezels.
This is similar to Graeber "Bullshit Jobs" model. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs

The wiki entry is a quick read, and he categorizes jobs that really don't improve the world, thus they are Bullshit Jobs that drain the economy. The challenge of course is where to draw the line....
What are we referring to as humanoids though? And what are we about as intelligent? Crows? Crows aren't going to build spaceships and don't really have the means to because a beak isn't a great manipulator, even though they use tools. I don't think the person above is saying that quadrupeds would be out of the realm of possibility (maybe they are. IDK I'm a computer scientist, not a biologist. I could totally see body size, caloric intake ratios, and brain mass being related in a way that would make these unlikely), but rather things like fractaling appendages would be expected because intelligent life would need to have fine motor control. (Is a centaur humanoid?) There are just more efficient ways to do things than other ways. Yeah, maybe alien life will have a beak. Maybe their pupils will look different but I'd still expect them to have eyes with squishy lenses because that's pretty much required to be able to focus and intelligent creatures need to be able to sense things both near and far (without technological enhancements). Light sensing isn't enough if you want to build things, you need depth perception. I think if you follow this line of reasoning you'll find that a lot of attributes humans have would be pretty likely for intelligent alien life as well.
Damn, PREACH.

If it's urgent, the sender will call.
I cannot relate to this experience at all. Can you specify examples of what you're talking about?
props propagation was indeed horrible, but you can use context to avoid that (or use other stores).
Can we stop talking just about deaths?

It's as if, as long as people survive in some form, we shouldn't care.

There has been an uptick of other diseases, including diabetes. Pancreas cells also have ACE-2 receptors and get infected.

It's extremely irresponsible to dismiss the virus' effect on children at this stage.

EDIT: we are also conflating our vaccines, which are manufactured, stable, controlled and much more understood, with a virus, which is multiplying, uncontrolled and mutating. We don't mess with viruses.

This is not FUD, we simply need to be careful with pathogens.
Hundreds of years, government-level investment.
That's a wrong way to think about it, since all modern "humanoids" are descended from the same ancestor not that long ago.

And if you consider dinosaurs humanoid, then so is that meme cat that can walk on its two back legs.

If there was an apex predator in every tree of life, in the "humanoid" shape, and I'm talking "humanoid ants" here, then it would be reasonable to assume that there's something beneficial in the "humanoid" shape that helps long-term survival.

And that's not even taking the majority of lifeforms into account - those in the seas, and greatly discounts birds. We still can't agree on if dolphins and crows are intelligent.

So, no, chances that the "humanoid" shape is somehow special out there are basically 0, since it's not even special here on Earth. We're an accident. Insects, mushrooms, plants - all those life forms are better adapted for mere survival than us (judging by cumulative mass of live organisms).

The Internet has replaced public broadcasting altogether through its own innovation. As I understand, "broadcast" originated from the "broad casting" of seeds. The Internet, on the other hand is bi-directional and interactive. It favors participation over consumption compared to television.

The means of distributing information really transitions when adoption is ubiquitous. Literacy and the printing press, radios, televisions, to PCs and smartphones. The physical later of the network of distribution changes with each transition.

These structures have inherent directionality and balance (or imbalance) in their nodes and connections that have some truly fascinating real-world results on the quality of how information travels, thrives or dies. The question of control and power also becomes an interesting network dynamic.

The Internet is surprisingly more spatial than other media networks. Websites can now provide a connection to actual virtual worlds. Herein, I think, lies the biggest innovation. Now Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit and others have a method to try and reproduce or reinvent a virtual public square or public house!

Broadcast television requires a paid subscription to view online for NBC and ABC and CBS. There are a growing number of companies that I'm starting to see re-broadcast local broadcast TV on the web for free. It really ought to be illegal for these broadcast channels to charge for a digital copy of free broadcast television by all counts as far as I am concerned. I think that's completely backwards.

I also think that social media has largely replaced the public square. It's a gross distortion because of the the skewed shapes and control of these networks. Twitter has literally silenced a president (which I didn't protest), but it is worrisome how these networks can exert so much power over information.

To me, the real "PBS of the Internet" would have to exist as separate networks. I love the article's reference to libraries and other community centers, but I think it falls short in not suggesting something more along the lines of a community _network_ rather than another online service. Examples I would point to are the SNET in Cuba or the NYC Mesh Network. Here in Pittsburgh there is a growing PittMesh network.

I think by creating something controlled and owned by the community that uses it, you decentralize information. This, I think, would encourage local news over conspiracy theories and perhaps provide a sheltering proxy to the the global web.

What an exciting topic.

Maybe I've just never given it a chance, but I've never understood the appeal of being able to modify code in-memory while it's running.

I like a REPL for testing things out, or for doing quick one-off computations, but that's it. I would never want to, say, redefine a function in memory "while the code is running". Not just because of ergonomics, but because if I decide to keep that change, I now have to track down the code I typed in and manually copy it back over into my source files (assuming I can still find it at all). And if I make a series of changes over a session, the environment potentially gets more and more diverged from what's in sourced if I forget to copy any changes over. So I'd often want to re-load from scratch anyway, at least before I commit.

Am I missing something? Am I misunderstanding what people mean when they talk about coding from a REPL?
There's a long subthread right at the top where this is discussed:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28042539

TL;DR: there's not much evidence that these things you are concerned about are happening in children, and the best evidence suggests that they are not.

This discussion about all of these things that might/could/maybe/possibly happen to kids who get Covid, but we don't have evidence for it? That's called "speculation".
The same is true of an Xbox and a Microsoft account. The sign up flow requires a full name and the ToS requires you not to give false information.
You can get that via banks directly, in whatever proprietary format, if they wish to provide it.

e.g. Monzo in the UK (&US?) offers a personal-use-only 'beta' API (it predated 'open' banking requirement, and they continue to say it's a developer API in beta, don't share access keys yet but one day, but basically it seems to be vapourware at this point). PSD2's 'open' banking is.. I don't know, it's something, but it's not what anybody here wants, or imagines it is from the name if they've not previously heard of it.

It might as well be a standardised Industry COBOL Interchange Specification, a copy is yours for just £25k today! Or join the 2022 edition working group for a mere £250k, and help define next year's mandatory update.
I suspect once this kind of workaround becomes known it's also a target for hackers - if there's a way around Facebook support to access an account, hackers will use it too.
Huh—I judge PBS much more valuable to me, these days. Kids are a big factor in that, but also NPR's news is largely pretty poor—it's all horse-race shit and campaign Monday-morning quarterbacking around elections, the campaigns for which are now so long that they seem to be happening more often than not, and they continue to be blind to all kinds of issues and events generally—when it's not just re-broadcasting the BBC, and two of my favorite programs are gone now with nothing I consider anywhere near as good to replace them (Car Talk, and old-school A Prairie Home Companion, i.e. atheist Sunday church service). Some bright spots remain (On the Media), sure, but largely not stuff I care about or else programs that I think are simply bad.

They also spend a ton of time on ads (if you include promoting their own programs, especially).

I don't love a lot of PBS' current programming, but their historical material is a goldmine.

Michael Burry of ‘The Big Short’ reveals a $530 million bet against Tesla (May 17 2021)

Tesla short-sellers lost $38 billion throughout the automaker's colossal 2020 rally (Jan. 1, 2021)

This seems complex.

All anyone shorting has to do is create a drop over a small period and they can make a lot of money. This has been done successfully before using social media.

If by 'That meme needs to die' you mean it's not healthy for a market at their level then I agree. They are using an army of people who are not very smart, also not good.

But their plan at a base level could work and they could get rich. Create a panic for a small period and get rich.
Sure.
