Most of the time I met people opposing type inference those people thought 'var' would be dynamic typing. I truly don't understand why this misconception is still so widespread.

The argument that code becomes unreadable without an IDE is only true if identifiers aren't named properly (for example by heavy abuse of abbreviations, or even the usage of single-letter symbols).

The only places where type-inference should be avoided are "public interface" kind of things. It's best practice to be explicit about an "interface"—even in languages with full type inference. This avoids changing an interface unnoticed only by changing an expression somewhere. (I don't mean here C#'s Interfaces verbatim, but for example signatures of "package public" methods and such).
To the same extent, and in the same way, as you did when you converted a state machine the same way? I still don't get what distinction you're drawing between state machine style and GOTO style.
Social vs. parasocial is simply a matter of the scale of any one node.

An individual (or organisation) can only maintain so may relationships. Dunbar's Number is a pretty good proxy. Ultimately, what each relationship is competing for is time, and that is a nonfungible resource. Ultimately, our relationships are defined largely by arity, the number of connections between parties and communications, the n:m relationships: 1:1, n:1, 1:m, n:m.

The vital groups I've been involved with have been 1) highly curated and 2) about 40--50 people, of whom maybe 10--20 were highly active. (One such group was a privat G+ community. Whilst it lasted it was excellent. I ultimately opted to kill it off due to concerns with the platform.)

A person, or a group, with more than a few hundred followers, can at best devote only a few minutes or seconds to each.

Over an 80 year life, the time you can devote to individual members of a group (assuming you sleep 8 hours/day) is roughly:

10: 5 years
100: 6 months
1,000: 20 days
10,000: 47 hours
100,000: 5 hours
1,000,000: 28 minutes
10 million: 3 minutes
100 million: 17 seconds
1 billion: 2 seconds
10 billion: 1/4 second

Google+ existed for slightly less than 8 years, and had (generously) 3.3 billion profiles. Each user could interact with each of the others for ... 0.05 seconds.

If we rely on a more realistic estimate of about 100 million actively-engaged profiles, that engagement increases considerably to ... 1 2/3 seconds.

In a parasocial relationship the fandom devotes a significant portion of its life to the star (often minutes or hours per day). The star ... cannot devote much time to individual fans.

The largest followings on G+ tended to be around the 10 million mark, allowing about 17 seconds of star attention per fan if the star devoted every waking hour to such relationships.

My more modest 2,000 or so followers might have received a days' attention from me, were I particularly obsessed with such engagement.

In practice, most of my engagement was with 20--100 or so people. Several of those I've continued to stay in touch with.

We seem to be under the delusion that technology allows us to scale intimacy. That's a fundamental impossibility, as true intimacy (measured in both time and distance) simply cannot be mediated. The problem isn't just the arity mentioned above, but context, expectations, understandings, intentions, and more. Intermediated communications quickly gets quite complex. Intimacy does not scale.

The article and the parent comment are about producing milk that is identical to cow milk in a bioreactor instead of in a cow's udder. It's not about milk alternatives or cheese from plant sources like cashew.

Just like there are companies working on lab-grown meat vs. meat-like products (e.g. Impossible, Beyond, Planted).
As a traditional (Electrical, control systems and functional safety, so foot in each camp) I would say a good measure is generally engineers start with a well defined and fixed goal they iterate towards with few changes to the target outcome - you would not expect a bunch of engineers to get half thru building a bridge then suddenly decide it was going to be a ship.

The learned index paper struck me as a bit of a marketing gimmick, but this paper also smells a bit. The central sleight of hand that both papers pull without admitting it is that they are creating mostly-read data structures (or in the first half of the learned index paper, read-only data structures). The learned index paper then compares them to read-write data structures and claims a win.

Due to cache locality, cuckoo hashing usually underperforms compared to linear probing hash tables, except when you want super high density and you don't expect to do much inserting. It gets especially bad if the keys or values are large. 99% of the time, you're better off with something other than cuckoo hashing.
It mostly works still, navigation, scrolling and link jumping work fine and cover 90% of what I do

Emotional nerd, reporting for duty. I don't respond to traditional marketing though. In fact, a lot of traditional marketing actively deters me from buying a product or service.

Where did your choice of regex come from? The problem statement does not have any regex, and if you wanted to derive a regex from the problem statement you would probably need to get ^[0-9]*$ if you wanted to be correct.

Inexpensive anti-depressant could be best Covid treatment yet, trial finds
This is a really old debate in psychiatry. My father studied it in the 70s and said that the establishment of his day were suspicious of all medications and all the academic literature suggested drugs should only be used as a last resort. There was apparently a lot of animosity between the pro and anti-medication faction.

Since then the pendulum has swung the other way and the pro-medication camp are now the establishment. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle but for better or worse academic literature always takes a thesis/antithesis approac.
That does not exonerate him. He could have stepped back and make the pressure public.

Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger did step back when she did not agree with a legislative proposal.
True that. Most important part that is not taught in engineering is, testing. Anybody can make anything, even rockets are not so difficult, but creating a testing and checking framework around the build system takes all the efforts. Elon musk said that, almost 100 times more efforts go towards design and making system that make rockets than actually designing rockets. Some conveniently forget the first ( most Tesla and spacex competition ) and fails miserably.

> There is a rule of thumb that attackers need to outnumber defenders 3 to 1 in order to win. But that assumes the defenders actually want to do their job.

That is more of a rule for an individual battle. The Afghan army cannot mass all its troops for a battle. They have to attempt to hold large amounts of territory, spreading themselves thin. The Taliban can mass troops in specific areas, so it outnumbers the defenders, and then move on. It is not accurate or fair to portray the ANA as some sort of clearly superior force that just doesn’t feel like fighting.

Maybe the nature of our concurrency problems has significantly changed, but from what little I remember, I don't think so. More people attempt to design for concurrency now, but shared memory, actors, barriers etc have been around at least since the early--mid '70s.

Do you really think branch prediction has significantly reduced the difficulties in developing software, or altered the way software developers work? Bringing up things that have changed behind a compatibility layer that makes us program against an emulated PDP-11 sounds to me like support of my thesis, if anything: the only changes to the way we work are faster computers and higher level languages.

Decent registrars provide auto renewal, and terms of multiple years. They also email you in advance of a card expiration and domain expiration. At a certain point you have to take some responsibility.
What I don’t like about backticks in Ruby is that they “ignore” errors in commands you run. It’s up to the program author to remember to check $? for the last executed command’s exit status. And guess how many times the average Ruby script using this feature implements error handling? Usually it’s totally forgotten.

To be safe, abstractions that make it easy to shell out must also:

- escape all variable interpolations by default using “shellwords” or similar.

- throw exceptions on error by default.

Backticks in Ruby are very easy to use, but aren’t safe.
So it is a fact that USA created the Taliban. Nice.
Of course. I'm not saying they couldn't do better.

Interesting read that harkens back to my econ days. I agree with the author based on my experience that digitizing a process often requires the developer to know the system better than the person who operates it - due to the nature of programming. I wonder if AI is really the way to transform software development into a General-Purpose-Technology. Codex is showing the way, in a niche and gimmicky way, but such is the way that many great ideas start. It's really hard to know though if _this is it_ or if it's merely another invention in a long line of inventions that failed to make it.

Sometimes it just seems like we are swimming in a sea of code with no apparent gain. Incredible to think that people managed the construction of Pyramids, Cathedrals and awesome constructions with nothing but papyrus, ink, leather straps and good ol' memory. I can't even remember the function arguments for fs.read!

Everyone claims marketing doesn't impact them. Nerd or otherwise.

Yet in every sector, the businesses that market themselves do the best and grow the most.

It's almost as if people of all stripes are unaware of their subconscious influences.
An A/B test won't tell you anything about how people feel about a brand. A/B testing is useful for telling you how badly your UI designers screwed up. It's a way of testing the effectiveness of websites.

First World and Industrialization are very different concepts. First world just means allied with the US during the Cold War. Israel meets every definition of a highly developed country, which makes your first claim false. The wikipedia article you listed also includes Singapore (another non-signatory), which makes this claim false.

According to the IMF, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao are all “advanced economies”. All of them are certainly industrialized, and certainly not signatories. All “Newly Industrialized Countries” would also meet the criteria of being “industrialized” as well, and they include (among others) China, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Phillipines and Turkey. All industrialized, and all non-signatories.

Really the only countries in the world that could be considered non-industrialized are the ones classified as Least Developed.
Marketing it the common person if you don't make the things they use isn't generally helpful. Intel has name recognition, but it isn't clear how many people calling Dell/hp/... to buy a new computer actually care if they get Intel vs AMD. Dell/hp/... need to market because those are the names the average person can influence, you call one and not the others (or go to local electronics store and choose one from several choices).

Of course I'm not sure that intel really cares that the common person knows their name. All the marketing could be aimed at the Cxx of Dell/HP/... and the reason the rest of use see those ads is because they can't be sure the few people they target.

Yeah gmail's spam filter quality has gone way down. I'm not getting daily misses, but monthly definitely (on an email that doesn't receive much spam at all).

What's more, though, is that there's actually a lot of false-positives. Even emails with people I've talked to in the past. Probably at least one false positive per week.
Ruby noob, but surely there's a way to metaprogram and change this to default to throw on non-zero exit?
Because there is nothing else to buy. Real global growth is almost zero, so the dollars around the world are starting to come back, but as I mentioned, there is almost nothing else to buy.

The economy bus crashed into a wall a couple of years ago, but while the the front is completely wrecked the rear still hasn’t noticed the impact. Money is flowing front to back trying to escape, yet at the same time governments pour even more money at the windshield so people at the back don’t notice the accident.

Stocks are safe assets as long as the fed keeps thinking stocks are the economy, real state is a safe asset as long as the government and police exists.
I disagree. That's a skill, one you have to learn by yourself. Getting something production ready rarely is fun but doable. Motivation is complicated but for me it's for example bills I have to pay and the experience that we'll done projects do pay out sometimes.

i TA'd the intro to computer science class at Georgia Tech, taught using Java 1.1.7, back in 1999, and have used very little java since. at the time, it was not a particularly pleasant environment, though i suppose few things were.

more concretely, Autumn Lamonte's Jexer (https://jexer.sourceforge.io/) is a far better solution for Java, better than any wrapper of Notcurses could ever be due to its rich integration with the language and its expansive APIs.

beyond that, i authentically don't ever want to have to deal with bugs about a java port.

U.S. opens probe into Tesla’s Autopilot over emergency vehicle crashes
The overwhelming attitude in a pre-agile world with a shortage of programmers was:

1) Create a division of labor so that tasks could be pushed to the cheapest person available.

2) Create a waterfall with documented buy in each step of the way.

3) Train an army of smart people for 6-8 weeks and cut them loose in specialized role. (Either a process person writing requirements or a tech person coding them or a tester confirming the code does what’s needed or change person teaching users)

4) Design and conceptual integrity of the whole were frequently missing.

5) The system buckled when requirements were wrong or changed.

6) Terms like “software factory” were used. When they’re used to today they reflect this mindset.

7) The best programmers were trapped in a system that wouldn’t promote them beyond a certain point because they weren’t generating revenue or managing a large group of people.

8) The sum of this was an industry notorious for overdue and over budget projects.

8.5) People prayed for their overdue projects to get cancelled before their portion would be blamed.

Software development isn’t perfect today but we are in a much better place.
All CEOs are contrite when they respond to being publicly shamed on Hacker News. It’s somewhat of a Hacker News trope at this point. It’s amusing, but it doesn’t mean anything.

I’ve commented on both Stripe and DigitalOcean’s terrible support, under different accounts, and had some XO give the “we’re so sorry, email me directly and I’ll personally look into it, our customers are really important to us” tripe.

There is no good work here. Only platitudes.
for the case of 6, there are "sextants", which Notcurses uses for its "sexblitter". 3x2 pixels are mapped to a cell.
"On Android, if you check your email, or similarly handle a notification for another application on a different device the notification disappears on your phone. Not so on iOS. You are going to see that notification on every iOS device you have and have to clear it on every one, or just ignore the notification center entirely"

This. It drives me up the wall. My ipad is forever cluttered with notifications for stuff that I have already seen and checked, because somehow iOS is incapable of clearing these notifications, god knows why. If I have a new discord notification on my android phone, and then open discord on my pc, that notification disappears. Why can't it work on iOS too???
Perhaps. But the people have control over that money. Deferring control to billionaires on the hope that they will grace us with their efficient money distribution is like hoping for philosopher kings.

In practice, democratic control will be more stable.
All of the author's complaints are also... incredibly minor. I understand small UI quirks can make a big impact but this is stuff any OS can fix (or make worse) in a single update.
If that person leaves or the notifications are ignored that would happen with any method that involves any interaction whatsoever. At a certain point someone has to take some amount of responsibility for this, and if they don't it's going to fail _eventually_.
Python interpreter by itself is fast, it spawns in a few milliseconds, but it can slow to a crawl if you need libraries, and easily take a few seconds.

However, situation is similar with nodejs.
There are an insane number of bad examples to follow on YouTube around chemistry, explosives, radioactive materials, electricity, mechanical devices, high powered lasers, etc.

28 nm was a turning point in cost per transistor. Previously, unit cost of transistors declined with gate lengths, but smaller finfet nodes and EUV add enough complexity that cost per transistor is actually rising on more advanced nodes.

The good thing about this is that capacity in "cutting-edge" fans will be lower and lower every year as more products find a "home" node that balances price and performance.
There's still a long road ahead until that happens. Writing a single function, even if includes a long a list of steps, is not the main challenge nowadays. The challenge is how the code is organized, i.e. architecture.
It’s also people that may have made their money legitimately, but live under authoritarian regimes and want an escape plan
