Nah, much of this is the same as the dumbness of many autocorrecting keyboards:

automatically "correcting" something that was correct based on a dumb hunch

It is really simple to remove the most embarrassing autocomplete errors on phones:

- just disable autocorrect,

- or preferably use another keyboard that just proposes fixes but leaves it to you to select the suggestion (I use SwiftKey and it does this, others probably exist too).

The same is not possible in Excel as far as I am aware:

You cannot turn of autoformatting.

The whole thing could be easily (on a ux level at least ;-) solved by introducing a single checkbox: "stop embarrassing me" with help text that says "turn off autoformatting".

Checking that box would leave values like you typed or pasted them in.

No need to select on a column basis.

Edit: It is also almost at the level of modern search engines that replace my very specific queries with generic queries about something unrelated or vaguely related.

Edit 2: it is already more than a year ago I guess since iPhones were caught changing the names of correctly spelled medications to the name of another unrelated medication. Sooner or later this incessant drive to be smarter than the user is going to cost lives I'm afraid.

When it comes to search it is already costing me many minutes lost a day, and that is just first order effects, before we get into all the things that doesn't get done because we give up on finding it.
Typefaces should not be copyrightable. Print ones are not, it makes no sense that digital ones are.

I obviously can't speak for elsewhere but donated goods are a tax deduction in the USA. Now, I do not donate junk but I also do 1-2 donation runs a year. The person who accepts my donations always asks, "Do you want a donation form?" without ever inspecting any of the items I am handing them for viability. Certain items are rejected because they simply cannot accept them but I have never once in my decades of donating seen someone inspect the items to ensure they are in "good" quality. I've always assumed that people are gaming their tax write-offs by donating their junk.

> But this would come at the cost of not being able to mix types in column, and a lot of people want to be able to mix.

I feel like a lot of the desire for this comes from Excel's desire to fill the screen with a single infinite spreadsheet. Apple's Numbers and some other programs make it more natural to have multiple separate tables on screen, each of which can have their own header rows and columns and separate type and format rules for those columns/rows. Excel more or less forces people to emulate this capability by just using a separate region of the same table, which gets in the way of applying consistent formatting and typing rules to whole columns or rows.

Which is why if you plot the chart of any interesting data and compare it between regions they loom pretty much the same regardless of how “serious” the region took it.

> very, very toxic things for society, like human behavior modification (ad) systems

And if not, where do you draw the line exactly?

Print fonts are copyrightable.
I think the developed world's headed nigh-inevitably toward something more closely resembling the Chinese model of government—maybe not with autocratic leadership, but with similar levels of centralized surveillance and such, extensive Internet filtering and blocking, and yeah, probably a lot more robots in law enforcement (military? Definitely yes in China if it makes cost/benefit sense, and maybe in the West whether it does or not—yes in either case for flying drones, that's already well underway)

I think we'll find states that fail to do that, suffer. The other way out is rejection of technology to a large extent, but I doubt many will try that model as it'd cause a large & swift hit to quality of life.

I wouldn't pay an expensive yearly fee for a font, but as software developers like to get paid, graphic designers do as well. Of course you have a lot of graphic designers who do that as a hobby or don't want money and share it freely, but graphic design is a bit different than open source code because the creator doesn't get as much benefits from sharing the work.

It never made a lot of sense in practice. Designers couldn't maintain CSS files because the language was too complicated for most. And these days, most DOMs in dynamic web pages are generated by the JS so the HTML/JS separation doesn't make sense either.

Although it's worth noting that there are different degrees of "winning the game". Only three runes are required to win, but maximizing your score and prestige will require you to get all fifteen runes. If you're just going for a three-rune victory, then there are more-or-less "safe" builds. For example, a Minotaur of any melee class, or a Berserker of any species that isn't completely inept at melee can reliably win a three-rune (not a guaranteed victory obviously, you still need to know what you're doing, and most importantly when to run away), although these characters are going to have a very hard time in the extended endgame without some sort of pivot.

That's because you're drawing conclusions from data that are not that far off from "the earth is flat".
As a person who grew up in Montana, one of the history lessons we learned was about Janette Rankin, who was the first woman elected to either body of legislature. This was before she was allowed to vote. What is similar is that she voted against going to war in WWI. She was elected a second time, and voted against going to war in WWII. She was a pacifist, so her vote was not that surprising. But she did catch no small amount of feedback.
This hasn't been my experience. I worked with a man years ago that was relatively fluent in English, but whose thick accent made understanding him somewhat difficult. Listening intently was required to understand him and he would often need to repeat himself, even though he was using the correct words and grammar. It's something he ran into pretty often at the time and he worked to improve it. Something like this app may have helped him. Slight accents may be "just top dressing," but this is most definitely not always the case.

You are right that no adult test will give an IQ that high.

However the original definition of IQ was in tests for children, and it was measured as mental age divided by physical age. Those tests are still used for children, and it IS possible for a 6 year old to get an official IQ of 230 on a test like the Stanford-Binet.

Which is exactly what Terry Tao did at the age of 6. Comparisons to adult tests may be problematic. But it remains an officially recorded IQ from a standard test.
I don't draw any lines. That's generally not necessary. However, there are some systems that are clearly on one side of the line where I would consider it unethical to work on them.

> just formatting your cells as text before entering the values

It is a little more than that. I work with finance people, and there a lot of data is manipulated in Excel but passed around as CSV files for compatibility elsewhere. This causes no end of problems because fixes by setting cell properties are obviously lost in transcription, and date errors creep in as things are moved back & forth between people in the US and those in locales that do dates properly.

It's probably because you throw about strong opinions while demonstrating here that you haven't thought much about them.
A nuclear plant is constantly providing energy at any time of day and can be scaled up/scaled down quickly with no need for storage. The power plant is also drastically more energy dense in terms of MW/km^2 (although that’s an important secondary benefit).

I would think that means your storage needs should go drastically down because you don’t need to store energy at all like you do with solar during sunny moments to handle night/clouds/inclement weather.

That’s an obvious explanation that comes to me when I think about it a bit, so I’m assuming you must have more expertise that indicates a flaw with that line of reasoning (I’m not super familiar with technical details). Interested to hear your viewpoint.

Edit: maybe you’re thinking of demand smoothing? Nuclear might need that to completely remove the need for carbon peaking plants, but my suspicion is that the batteries you need are drastically smaller than for solar because nuclear can natural load follow whereas solar can’t.

It is gate keeping. That's the point. I don't want to work with people who feel like it's reasonable to be unaware or agnostic to the effect their work is going to have on actual people. I don't believe in the meme that someone's role ought to dictate if they need to consider the consequences of their creative efforts on other human beings.

I have a lot more respect for people who consider these things, and just have different opinions than I about what they consider worthy applications, than those who just consider it unnecessary to think about these things. We have an obligation, if we are going to call ourselves "engineers", to consider what we are working on from an ethical perspective.
My favorite project in recent years was a little python service that I owned end to end.

Where does this sentiment come from? It feels very bitter and I'm not really clear as to why.
"This is at least part of the reason that reasonably strong engineers can learn a new programming language in under a day. The paradigms just aren’t that different."

This literally says "the paradigms aren't that different." So if you accept that C and J are different paradigms, then because the paradigms aren't that different, a C programmer could pick up J in a day.

What it doesn't say is that truly different paradigms take more than a day to learn competent programmers already understand all different paradigms.

Perl is C-like. As I said elsewhere, J supports C-style syntax, so sure you can program J in C-style in a day. But that's not J. This is J:

for. }.z do.
b=. -. (i.n) e."1 ,. z +"1 _ ((-i.){:$z) */ _1 0 1
z=. ((+/"1 b)#z),.n|I.,b
end.

To a J programmer, that's not just clear, it's obvious. I'd like to meet the C-programmer who can learn to write and read that in a day.
