Thank you for sharing.
Knowing how to code prepares you to deal with lawyers that say something is complex but then you verbally break it down into an if-elseif-else in 5m and they get flummoxed. And when you find a possible bug / loop-hole / fuzziness, they tell you they will need weeks to research it on your dime when it has all the complexity of a stack overflow post.
I'm thinking if population growth continues to shrink and go negative and automation continues to increase, production will stay constant or even increase, even while population decreases. Which would mean that each individual would get more riches with less work.

That somehow hit home regarding software development (and technology in general). Brick laying is a metaphor for something else
> This is kind of a middle ground. It's worth remembering that when Python and Ruby were new, there weren't really any great options if you wanted lightweight syntax with garbage collection. Nowadays there is Kotlin and you can write code that looks very similar to say Ruby, but which often has the performance of entirely statically typed languages.

Lisps and MLs offered this before Ruby and Python got popular. Unless you don't consider them great options?
Not quite. The main problem with gradual typing is performance, because having to do checking and conversion at every boundary or interaction between static- and dynamic-typed code introduces a lot of overhead.

I also purchased an iPhone X on release day and never cared how I charged it (iPad charger, iPhone charger, laptop). My battery health is also 89% — though I do not feel like I am getting great battery life anymore
I am currently a SWE student, and non-traditional. I am a full time student with wife and kids. I work full time and prior to starting school and current job, was in the Navy. Now that I am close to graduating and looking at companies, I am trying to find tech companies that offer a breadth of areas to work in so precisely I hope I can find a place where perhaps I move around. Being in the Navy and working in chemical manufacturing, I know how dull and boring doing the same job over and over gets. On deployment (on a ship), we referred to it as ground hog day like the movie.
There is also a security aspect to it, with stored procedures, even with stolen creditials there is very granular acess, that would have to be otherwise provided with tons of views.

I think it is a consequence of six month bootcamps and then be allowed to call themselves "engineers" (in countries that allow such things).

> They'll have to unite with North Korea eventually. Make of that what you will.

I don't know. United Germany was still within living memory when reunification happened, and it cost a huge amount to integrate East Germany, even though they had a functional society and industry. For example, Zeiss Jena (East German) camera lenses were competitive with those from the west. That would be like North Korea making good phones in the modern day.

MS is between a rock and a hard place when it comes to security and legacy support but I still think they approached this the wrong way. Windows is both the most popular PC OS and a huge target because of that legacy baggage they're been carrying around for years.

On the other hand every other device on the market now (mobile phone, tablets, everything Apple) are almost completely locked down from the user's perspective so MS probably feels they are safe in joining the rest of the world in tying the user's hands.

I understand the move towards better security but they should also consider extending Windows 10 support beyond the current end of 2025 deadline, given the harsh requirements for upgrade. You could buy a brand new MS device today and see it turn into an unsupported paperweight in just 4 years. The security pros for Secure Boot shouldn't come at the cost of millions of useless and unsupported PCs so early in their (historically long) lifecycle.
they are "duck typed" .... so an object automatically implements an interface if it has methods with the right signatures to satisfy the interface.

It's handy if you need to add interfaces onto code you don't control (say, library code) as you can avoid a whole layer of adapter types / functions that you need in true statically typed languages.

But I'm curious if its a great idea in the long run to have interfaces being "accidentally" implemented by objects. Doesn't seem like it would stand up well to refactoring or various other scenarios.

Not getting vaccinated is playing roulette as well, and the odds are clear. The point is that not getting vaccinated is not just playing roulette with your own head, but with others'.
> There are no build time issues at all. Life in a dynamically typed world is fundamentally simpler.

Yeah this is something I take huge issue with. There's always a tradeoff: less comptime issues means more runtime issues.

Comptime issues are predictable and deterministic. Runtime issues may depend on inputs, or external factors like memory constraints, so they're way harder to identify and solve.

Static types are like eating your vegetables. You might get more instant gratification from eating cakes, but it's going to come back to bite you later.

>>why would I give up getting the computer to automatically check for me at compile time that I'm passing the right number of parameters to a function

I never understood this, how is it possible that a developer calling a function doesn't test if they are calling it right. Once they test it, how does the additional compiler test matter?

Unless of course your calling function is mutating the value of a variable across so many types that it's impossible to realistically test it. It would then make sense to use a type to prevent the variable from being something it shouldn't.

But most people, don't have that situation most of the time. Even in a big application.

May be that explains why something like Python has such wide adoption.

Wearing a mask isn’t driving drunk. That is exactly what we are asking children to do while the trials are under way. Your shete logic means that you think that children under 12 who don’t take the vaccine should not go to schools. Or are you advocating that we force them to take the vaccine too? Ha! Not even the CDC recommends that.

What's his alternative to null in a nutshell?
Considering his strongest argument for Clojure seems to be "economy of expression" [1], I think it's time to stop following what he things. For someone that spent a lot of his career talking about rotting code, how to adapt to change, things like that; his only argument being "it's faster to write" feels really weak.

EMarket Online Store v1.0 beta 2 (Release Notes)
Dear Colleagues. Today a new version of our Open Source project for creating online stores has been released. What's new in this release?

- Staff manager
- Monolog logger
- Action log
- Tabs modules engine
- Reviews (module)
- Dashboard
- Updates check
- jsonRPC service
- Fixes and more

Let's go through each item in more detail.

Staff manager. To delimit the rights of personnel, this manager was created. You can create a personnel group, assign access to certain sections to it, and add personnel to this group. Thus, you can create a group of Administrators, Managers and other personnel.

Monolog logger. This logger is used to standardize logs.

Action log. In order to understand what actions are performed by personnel, you need to keep a log of actions. That is why this log was created.

Tabs modules engine. Now you can add your own tab modules to products without editing the template

Reviews (module). And the first such module of tabs was the module of reviews. In this module, a rating from 1 to 5 stars is available, as well as a comment on the order. Reviews for a product can only be left by those who have already bought this product. You cannot write more than one review for a product. In addition, all reviews are moderated, and the moderator decides for himself whether it is possible to publish a review, or to reject it.

Dashboard. These are various graphs and statistics. Always wondering how things are going.

Updates check. If a new version of the store is published, a notification will appear in the administrative part.

jsonRPC service. This service was implemented in order to be able to connect third-party microservices. Adding a new jsonRPC function is easy. To do this, you need to add a new class to the appropriate section.

Fixes and more. Various bug fixes were made, the structure and code were redesigned, and improvements were made.

Stars on GitHub are welcome if you like the project.

This is a great point. And containers don't even really exist in the first place, so really there should be (at least one of) a family of docs about securing the various namespaces, cgroups etc in modern Linux releases, and a doc about how to secure them in combination with each other.

Would be fantastic to live in a world where Bragg's intellect and interview style would fuse with long format podcasts (forgive me e.g. Rogan) where the conversation would last up to 4 or 5 hours.
The same rigor as NASA, huh? The same NASA that lost an orbiter and crew because of political pressure to launch under non-optimal circumstances, and another orbiter and crew because they fell prey to normalization of deviance when it came to damage assessment?

Space is hard, incredibly hard. We can only guess how hard space is. And all we can do, as spacefarers, is to be better. That's the same process we used to make flight safer, and it will work with space.
Unions make only sense for companies like Amazon, even if you think your benefits are good.

What I dislike about those that tried to form in the US was their direction. Unions aren't to make your workplace welcoming or a safe space (only real safety) or about diversity and all that teenage advertising soft crap or rescuing the climate.

It is about plain benefits and compensation and about unifying the interests of workers towards a company that has much more leverage. If unions would focus on that, I think they would be much more successful.
> Wearing a mask isn’t driving drunk

I didn't compare wearing a mask to driving drunk, I compared wearing a mask to wearing a seat belt. I compared driving drunk to not getting vaccinated.
My fault, I didn't articulate my thoughts clearly enough. Essentially my belief is that if a studio creates its own IP successfully, it's indicative of talent executing a well planned risky project.

A positive example is, Sucker Punch with Ghost of Tsushima. Sucker Punch could have kept banging out InFAMOUS games but they created a wonderful, beautiful game.

A negative example is CD Projekt Red with Cyberpunk 2077 which came out at roughly the same time. The game was a mess and they flushed billions of dollars of goodwill and future pre-order money by bad management decisions that forced a release before Christmas, and put the devs through a crazy crunch.

Now when bringing this back to Blizzard, let's take WoW as a first example... the main game works on having an exciting expansion which is analogous to creating new IP. Player subs rise with good expansions (BC, WotLK, Legion) and free fall with bad ones (WoD, MoP possibly but I think that was more a style issue than substance).

If Blizzard is to thrive I think it needs to create compelling new iterative games (like WoW xpacs and D4), but also totally new compelling like Overwatch.

It used to be that Blizzard never "missed" with its releases. You could buy a Blizzard game, in a genre you never played, and you were guaranteed a great time. I'd say 'Classic' Blizzard (before Activision) had Nintendo-level quality. Now Blizzard has the problem of never "hitting".

Add in the terrible work conditions and fans are put into a terrible situation of loving something made by a company that isn't worthy of admiration.

Imho, new leadership needs to have the ability to execute in a big way to overcome the current trajectory, and that's going to take carefully calculated, and well executed risks... something that the new co-leaders have yet to demonstrate having.
GaN-FET is not necessarily a MOS-FET strictly speaking.

> By choosing GaN, the MOSFET can be switched quicker without wasting too much energy as heat. That in turn means all other components (capacitors, inductors) can be made smaller in the same ratio.

Faster switching frequency of the whole circuit is not necessarily an attribute of the material. There are silicon ICs with high switching frequencies for things like powering CPUs, and GPUs. They are of course physically bigger, and a bit less efficient.

What GaN switches put on the table is having a single transistor being able to do this, and thus allowing much simpler circuits, basically a drop in replacement for existing silicon devices.
This is a well written point.

In our interactions with robots, I feel the future valuable work will come from work where humans have the agency and direction, while robot’s functions have been specifically tailored to augment the specific human’s skills or relieve the human of certain repetitive parts of the process.
Theoretically non negligible. I just want to see stuff catch on fire!
I only use TypeScript on projects written from scratch for TypeScript, like Angular.

My small revenge on Apple
What you are experiencing is not "power supply noise", but most likely ground loop noise. The fix is not to shill Apple power supplies, which as switching power supplies are still extremely noisy, but to use proper connectors and signalling.

More examples.

One from
2017 with several deaths.

“In 2017, the Philippines stopped a school-based dengue fever vaccination program after reports of complications and several deaths linked to the product called Dengvaxia. The French manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, later stated that the vaccine posed a risk to those without prior infection from one of the disease’s four stereotypes. The result was that it actually increased the risk that a child would contract a more severe form of the disease.”

Is 4 years recent enough?

Edit: Read more carefully, the paper cited 4 examples. One was Cutter.

“ Next on the list is the widespread vaccination against the childhood disease measles. In the early 1960s, thousands of children received a particular inactivated vaccine, so if they were exposed to the actual measles virus, they developed atypical measles. This was characterized by high fever, severe abdominal pain and lung inflammation and often required hospitalization. That particular vaccine was eventually withdrawn.

The final case deals with the vaccination attempt of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Children treated with one type of vaccine in the 1960s developed an enhanced form of the disease, often suffering from high fever, bronchopneumonia and wheezing. Dozens ended up being hospitalized and two died. There still is no vaccine to prevent RSV infection, but scientists are working hard to develop one, according to the CDC.”
Most people have no clue what the proud boys even are. All they know is "proud boys bad, very bad", because that's the narrative the powers that be want to push. The whole point of a platform like PinePage is to prevent individuals' lives from being ruined by the ignorant masses riled up in socially engineered hysteria that are serving mob justice on behalf of powerful interests (cancel culture). Your comment proves the need for the existence of such a platform.

Have a watch of this short history of the proud boys and tell me if an organisation like the proud boys merits being banned anywhere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsNlteJQunc

It's also very curious how organisations like BLM or antifa never make it onto these lists of boogeymen that need to be censored, even though they've said and done plenty of despicable (even criminal) things. Ever wonder why? It's for the same reason that not a single piece of fake news about Trump has ever been censored, even though real news about Biden is being censored and called fake news (remember the Hunter Biden laptop?). It's because censorship only serves to consolidate and protect the power of the authoritarians who implement it. That is dangerous no matter which side does it.
It makes me wonder: why does Microsoft take this risk now? Switching to Linux was so much more painful 20 years ago. Switching to Mac is probably easier than ever. So why, instead of encouraging their users to stay, they do everything to alienate them? Of course, the majority will stay because of inertia, especially in the enterprise. But it paints a bleak future for Windows.

With Windows 10 Home forced upgrades I saw again something that I haven't seen since Windows 95: a growing feeling among users that their OS, which just supposed to work, is overtly hostile to them. You can hold it just a bit and then it will reboot against your will and you just hope all your work, settings and so on was saved. Your OS is getting in your way, it prevents your work being done, just like Windows 95 did with constant crashing. Once these things have piled up, users seriously start looking for an alternative. My parents, for example, switched to iPad Pros and haven't regretted it. This might not be possible now for all users yet, but we're getting there, and Microsoft seems to be as blind to this aspect as in the 90s.

> Do you really think random people will leave Windows behind? And do what? Most of the average PC users don't even know there's an alternative (aside maybe for macs, which they probably consider overpriced, so not a direct alternative).

This is a pretty dated argument. Chromebooks outsell Macs. Tablets (Mac or Android) are another well-known substitute for PCs for many. Macs are not that expensive compared to similar Windows hardware, and there's an entire low end tier of alternatives priced below Windows machines. 15 years ago Macs were expensive and nobody knew about Linux, so they drove to the store and bought a cheap Windows device. That hasn't been accurate for a long time though.

Can you share where you found that? I'd like to read more about it

> and the depopulation and dilapidation of Japan's second/third tier cities and the countryside is already striking and poised to accelerate rapidly as villages, towns and cities can no longer fund their basic obligations.

Isn't that a worldwide phenomenon though? Podunk towns can't keep their young people around because there is nothing for them to do and within in a generation or two they fade away. It's sad, but is there even a reason to save those towns?
Of course I do. It's unreliable, unrepairable and outright dangerous to use. I repaired plenty of devices before and Apple is worst of them all.
