Upvoting you, what you're saying is quite accurate and as an Indian, it's embarrassing for me.

Part of the problem is that India doesn't have too many things to brag about - so we're super sensitive about culture, food, umm fruits etc. The right wing tends to be especially loud on these matters.

I think that would almost be a point in favour of the idea. The response to CSAM is, frankly, irrationally strong in the modern era. As with many human emotions it looks to me like something calibrated for a different time and altered circumstances.

It is a lazy theory though.

I can't say for sure, but I suspect it was a reaction to ALGOL-68. Creators of later Algolish languages usually made a point of rejecting features of Algol-68 they saw as prone to abuse.

And the block expressions in Algol-68 were certainly used and abused. Basically, the type and value of a block (BEGIN ... END or ( ... )) are those of its last expression, so you can put them anywhere. For example, Algol-68 has the looping construct WHILE <condition> DO <body> OD, but not C's `do <body> while (<condition>)`. So what do you do if you want to have the test at the end of the loop body? Simply

WHILE (
<body>;
<condition>
)
DO SKIP OD

I guess you'd get used to those idioms eventually, or some coding conventions would have arisen if the language had been successful. But I can understand language creators looking at that and seeing how getting rid of it simplifies not only their compilers but also the programs written in their languages.

The point is that because of the mentioned factors, artificially little of companies' revenues flow to developers (in the form of wages or other compensation). If the general salary level of developers in the local market increased, then I believe that would happen without large sacrifices to workload or work/life-balance (many of which would be illegal under local laws anyway), because it would only make up for the salary level today being artifically low.

AI driven anything these days doesn't show a lot of promise from my observations. Getting any voice activated service to do basic things requires speaking like you are programming and even then its hit or miss. How long have those services been around? I don't anticipate much progress in 5-10 years.

Sure a Hello World app might be do-able by AI but any complex business logic is going to be done incorrectly. I work on Rails and how many times do I use scaffolding? small prototypes is about it and those don't live long.

There are lots of developers that don't like IDE's, like myself. I've been burned way too many times by them doing things I didn't intend. Unless it delivers on all its hopes and promises, AI tools will end up being a neat trick and then be a distraction.

There are some shops that use bleeding edge stuff and then there are probably like 90% of shops that stick with what works. Think of all the software developers working at banks, insurance companies, Fortune 500, etc. In 5-10 years developers will mostly still be doing the same things they are doing today.

> why not have it be a native app instead of a bundled browser app, for excellent file size

There are other valid arguments, but "use a native app for smaller file size" specifically doesn't make sense at all - the opposite is true.

While webapps may be larger than simple web pages, they're still far far far smaller than native apps, and using service workers etc, you do only pay the download size for a web app once, just like a native app.

For example: the Twitter Android app is a 21MB download. I just tested loading the Twitter PWA (https://mobile.twitter.com) logged in but with an cleared cache: it's a <3MB, including all the content visible in my feed on the first load.

The native app is _7+ times larger_.

I suspect the same or worse is true for the vast majority of other apps, e.g. Uber on Android is a 50MB download, while m.uber.com (reloaded after login with a cleared cache) gives you the same features with <1MB.

"Isn't money just an abstraction over resources?"

I think the economics of money tends to compete on which common sense, to follow. Taken to the extreme, you could say that money doesn't matter. Only resources and the real economy matter.

That, IMO, is negated by the history of money economics affecting the real economy. Money shortage is a thing. If the economy hadn't been funded, the resource shuffling wouldn't have been possible... or more painful. People don't get compensated for resources and labour in exchange for goods and labour. They get compensated in money, which is at some point down the cascade, credit. If money is short, it doesn't matter what the productive capacity. That reshuffling doesn't happen smoothly.

So, no... I think. At least, not in a sense that commons sense implications can be applied. Money isn't just an abstraction over resources. It's a thing unto itself. Money supply issues, hyperinflation, financial shocks, credit shocks and have been more likely to affect major real economy problems than supply of actual stuff like oil. Oil shock is a thing. There definitely are real examples of crippling resource shortages. More often though, money supply is the issue.

I'm quite happy with my current salary – the problem is that I don't know anyone with my level of experience who earns more than me, and I'm certainly not the person among all my friends and acquaintances who provides the most value to his company. I've ended up where I am by spending a lot of time looking for jobs and being very selective, but it would be nice if the general salary level were higher so that more people could get paid according to the value they provide.

This reminds me of the Bangapalli mango dealer of den haag. I vividly remember that day. It was really dark night with full moon. He gave me a location which was near schildersbuurt which is a shady place in hague. In reached on time, but no one was there. But the moment he arrive at the spot, out of no where there were 50 people or so just came out to collect their mangoes.

It was pretty cool experience.

One of the thing, which was really nice about that guy was if mangoes would get spoil during the travel, he wouldn't charge you money.

I remember someone told me once that importing alphonso mango was banned in netherlands because of invasive fruit flies that could come with it.

Given the primary example used on the kids, the 2016 election, this seems more about instilling bias under the name "news literacy".

> Classical Latin makes up a pretty tiny fraction of the lifetime of actual Latin usage, anyway. It happens to make up the bulk of the written literature that got passed down to modern scholars, but a hell of a lot more people actually spoke various pidgins of Latin, or transitional language as it changed into the Romance languages.

Well, the amount of usage isn't quite the same question as the lifetime of the usage. 17th century international communication was done in classical Latin, albeit classical Latin that was mysteriously shifted closer to modern languages in a number of ways. An important treaty between Russia and China was formalized in Latin. (Though that might have been church Latin.) The lifetime of classical Latin isn't much shorter than the lifetime of Latin the living language that became the Romance languages.

Also, while it's certainly true that modern Romance languages have diverged a long way from classical Latin, they haven't diverged in any way that's relevant here; they all still inflect adjectives to match the modified nouns. (Which is the only declensional phenomenon here that might surprise an English speaker - English still declines nouns to distinguish singular from plural. This is so natural to the modern English speaker that it was correct in the attempted phrase lupae non grata. The nominative case is expected from an English speaker, but is also, by coincidence, correct for classical Latin.)

I had quite a few twitter discussions on this already.

It's an interesting paper and I think a valuable contribution to the discussion. Though it should be noted that the authors make a lot of assumptions (naturally) and some of them are quite controversial. They consider three different methane leakage rates, which are probably a good range for what's happening in the US, but it's expected that some european sources have much lower rates. Their assumptions on CCS are more pessimistic compared to what other people expect, but you could argue compared to existing CCS projects they're actually optimistic.

Then there's a whole debate around GWP20 vs. GWP100, which is whether you look at the greenhouse effect of methane vs. co2 over 20 or 100 years. The authors prefer GWP20, which is not the mainstream climate science position, but they do some of their calculations also with GWP100.

tl;dr It's definitely worth a read and the authors make good points, but consider that other people see things differently.
Exactly. We love SwiftUI's layout system. It has a learning curve but once you "get it" it feels so intuitive to build naturally responsive layouts.

Since our SDK is rendering native SwiftUI we decided the best experience would be to surface the API of the underlying layout system in a visual way. Similar to how Webflow surfaces HTML/CSS.

Of course this meant building a SwiftUI renderer for our Android SDK. We are considering a future release where the Mac app exposes both SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose to allow a full visual build experience that is 100% native to both platforms.
Here's a detailed and very interesting writeup about the development of the IBM PC: https://www.filfre.net/2012/05/the-ibm-pc-part-1/

This is possible, although economies of scale also play a role here; they probably sell like a thousand Smart TVs for each signage display.
I like to think however that for that higher price I'm actually buying a better durable product that will pay in the long run: 4K will last for a while, and by keeping things separated, other potential weak points (incompatibility with new formats or standards) are left to the tuner/mini PC, which would cost a lot less than the screen to change, or possibly nothing in case of software update.
Continuing your example, people take some field of view of electromagnetic radiation within a certain frequency range that hits our eyes, and we call that vision. If instead of this radiation in the visible spectrum, we were presented with the reflected EM radiation from our surroundings in some other frequency range, we couldn't do anything with it. Does that mean we're not intelligent either?
Depending on the size of it, harvest energy from its Hawking radiation.
Not backdoors, more like replicated backups. From the article:

""Backdoor" may not be the right term, though it's difficult to be certain without knowing the details of the system's technical architecture. In the complaint, the term is used to describe a duplicate of the PSCA's DES running on servers based in a Huawei facility in Suzhou, China. Whether that copy arises from a covert remote access capability or an overt replication option under indifferent or permissive security policy isn't clear."

Power which was extended through the use of said technology. I'm fine with focusing on regressive hierarchical systems as the fundamental root of oppression but pretending like the information and mechanical technology introduced in the late 19th century to early 20th century did not massively increase the reach of the state is just being ridiculous.

Prior to motorised vehicles and the telegraph for example, borders were almost impossible to enforce on the general population without significant leakage.

Ironically in spite of powered flight, freedom of movement is in a sense significantly less than even 200 years ago when it comes to movement between countries that do not already have diplomatic ties to one another allowing for state authorized travel.

Incidentally, this is part of why many punishments in the medieval age were so extreme - the actual ability of the state to enforce the law was so pathetically limited by today's standards that they needed a strong element of fear to attempt to control the population.
