I remember when Perl was the coolest thing ever. I even wrote numerical simulations in it, just to try. Only with the invention of Python and Ruby did we realize how much better things could be. Of course that the Perl inventor was an IOCCC winner should've been a red flag.
Yeah it does feel like this kind of clever graphics trickery is becoming a lost artform. Of course, niche circles can continue it. Retro console/PC programming circles, demoscene, etc. But I'm not sure how long those circles will last once the generations that grew up with that hardware die out.

It's like a set of code, you are liable to hear all kinds of claims about the code base, what it can do, what it can't, but the only way to be sure is to go and examine it for yourself. And every time I do that I find surprises. I imagine the world of scientific experimentation could be the similar in that respect. The synopsis brought to us by scientists can range from slightly misleading to downright fraudulent. It's valuable but unless you get into the weeds of it expect your knowledge to be flawed

Surging Delta Cases Reverses the March Back to the Office
Possibly, but when Janet Reno "had the goods" on Microsoft, she suddenly settled. Mind you, that was a lengthy case with the explicit purpose of splitting up Microsoft. Then, when it was all but cinched, she suddenly reversed and settled for just about ... no concessions. All Microsoft had to do was share APIs.

Even the judge in the case said that Microsoft executives had "proved, time and time again, to be inaccurate, misleading, evasive, and transparently false. ... Microsoft is a company with an institutional disdain for both the truth and for rules of law that lesser entities must respect. It is also a company whose senior management is not averse to offering specious testimony to support spurious defenses to claims of its wrongdoing." [1]

This new situation may be a slam-dunk, but no dunking may actually happen.

When I had my first kid, I was pretty surprised how early she started "pretending". Before my daughter could say more then a few words, before her motor skills were developed enough to do more then pick up and drop small her toys, etc. she was already moving her toys around like they were real animals, pretending to feed them, etc. She couldnt have had much understanding of the real world before she started making an imagined one.
Thats for the courts to decide.

And apparently there are a whole bunch of lawsuits against google, in multiple countries.

My money is on them losing at least one of them, in some way.

All that needs to happen is for them to lose a single lawsuit, somewhere, for the statement of "its in their right to do that" to be wrong.
Depends on what you mean by lab.

The first thing that comes to mind is my flow hood, glove box hybrid work area that I use for culturing mushrooms (not that kind).

From a tech standpoint, I also have some Pi and Audrino stuff. I have a laptop that I use for a lot of dev stuff. Although I'll use my desktop for big data since it's beefier.

Few domestic buildings in the UK have the space to install the huge and noisy air conditioning fan required, never mind the insulated piping to get the heat into the house.

It's a nice idea, but the reality is that most people will end up heating their water with a good old immersion heater.

See https://youtu.be/GhAKMAcmJFg

The real problem is our buildings are badly built and insulated - and the new ones just aren't good enough.
Your `do_one`:

* does not buffer stderr
* does not check if the disk is full for a period of time during a task (thus risking incomplete output)
* does not clean up, if killed
* does not work correctly if task_with_stdout is a composed command

Given that GNU Parallel is a drop-in replacement for xargs, I am curious why you find it a 'weirdo interface'.

Mostly just time and testing coverage, and more packages for various things. Maybe another 10,000 man-hours? I don't know the exact numbers.

For context, I've found and/or helped fix bugs around multi-char string split, process termination on windows, and async IO on Windows. All things that forced me to pop the hood on the language, study relevant OS APIs, and generally yak shave, rather than focus on the task at hand. Which has been really edifying, but would have slowed me down if I was writing for a job.

In the process, I've written a few libraries of my own for things like string manipulation, data schemata, rendering html forms/tables based on a schema, and so on.

If you have people that are competent with C, then Janet atop that could work well, but by itself, it's still a long ways from having all of the things one might expect from Python/Ruby, let alone Java or .NET

That would be a much better situation than the current status quo.

If Google moved to exclusive deals, then that would mean that they would be paying game developers, 10s of millions of dollars, instead of the other way around.

The current situation is the reverse. Game devs are paying google 10s of millions of dollars. If the opposite happened, then that would be much better.
It's very simple:

Schema on write is upfront costs for lower per unit costs later.

Schema on read is no upfront costs and then higher per unit costs thereafter.

The value of schema on write is based on how much lower the per unit costs will be, how many units you expect, and how much the upfront costs will be.

Most people in ELT circles completely discount the per unit costs (many vendors are indeed incentivized to maximize these costs)

And the flipside is a lot of ETL is somewhere between YAGNI and unnecessary extravagance.

But broadly anyone who recommends one or the other without showing even a back of the napkin analysis of these costs are not serious data engineers.

Ps

Three other real world metaphors for schema on read vs schema on write:

* renting vs a mortgage

* eating out every night vs learning how to cook

* (pre pandemic) living far away from work to save money vs living closer to work.

The toggle is whether you leave the house with your dumbphone or your smartphone.

I don't think there's a market at all for people who only want a dumbphone as their primary phone. Then you're just building a bougie feature phone as many other commenters have said.
> Your scenario around leaving and whether or not the man will hit his wife was flawed from the start

My scenario never said anything about ‘leaving’. You continue to confirm the point. You read that in to the scenario.

That’s the point. You completely failed to understand the scenario as written and made up your own story to suit your prejudices. The only violence was in your imagination.

What guarantee do we have that you aren’t doing the same thing with Apple?
"I might be missing something here. Can I not pick up a Nokia, Sony or other phone for an order of magnitude less than this price?"

In the United States all networks are switching to VoLTE. They will no longer activate devices that do not have 4g. So no, the old Nokias will no longer work.

Unfortunately all new "Dumb Phones" will have to have a 4g modem and be compatible with the VoLTE networks.

Is there a directory of all "WEF People", other than a web search for the URL fragment? https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Aweforum.org%2Fpeople

WEF has been kind enough to release public media about their visions, e.g. last week's video envisioned people's lives being rebuilt around "neighborhood hubs" that are 15-min walking distance from their home offices, containing gym and bars, but no restaurants since those will be replaced by ghost kitchens. They envision biometric ID of each human by their heartbeat [already specified in the upcoming 2024 IEEE Wi-Fi standard that will allow consumer routers to "see through walls" with doppler imaging], https://twitter.com/wef/status/1427721919483326470

One challenge for those not shopping for what WEF is selling is the lack of institutions to champion alternative visions. E.g. until that WEF video, I had no idea the "15-min city" (smart gulag?) was endorsed by urban planners, https://www.cnu.org/publicsquare/2021/02/08/defining-15-minu.... As a point of comparison, that would be a radius of ~1km, 80% smaller than the 5km home lockdown zones in Victoria, Australia, https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/what-the-new-cor...
Yes it is - and it's worthwhile to read bawolffs well written explanation of how exactly it could be exploited. Downplaying security vulnerabilities of this sort is precisely how database leaks happen.
> Check US inflation since the early 80's. It's 200%.

It's been 40 years. Applying the rule of 72 ('cause I can't be bothered to do a more sophisticated analysis) and assuming that your "200%" means prices have doubled since then, that comes to 1.8% annual inflation. Very reasonable.
Yes, I agree. Conditional on some "difficult" languages like Java, the experience is quite different. For non-difficult languages like C, R, and Python, the gap is small.

I've also enjoyed the Emacs/Python experience :)

Similar situation here. I use debugger on js and python extensively too, however, I do have a couple of frontend devs that I can't seem to make them use a debugger, even though I showed them the benefits of it, yet they keep using console logs all over the place.
I’d recommend using your own style of zettelkasten. Roam Research is an excellent tool for this, but it’s a matter of preference. Keep your to-dos light weight (I like Asana so I can add comments, but again personal preference). If you have a team size of n=1, then some sort of agile is just silly overhead.

Biggest thing I can recommend here is don’t conflate tools with process.
A drunk driver might be 7 times, or 70 times, or 700 times as likely to have an accident. That range is plausible to me.

But estimates of the proportion of trips under the influence of alcohol that I was able to find were around 0.03%. (111 million out of 411 billion)

So I don't see a logical reason to rule out their driving increasing by ten times, or 100 times, or more.

And I don't see what the justification would be for assuming a self-driving system is within 20% of an arbitrary standard. Because drunk drivers are so bad, as you point out, there's a lot of space between "as bad as a drunk" and "as good as an average non drunk".

I think it's completely plausible that a system could be ten times or a hundred times worse than an average human and it not be obvious. That's because an average human has one fatal accident in approximately 100 lifetimes (in the US). Or, for another reference point, drivers had fatalities about 7 times more often per mile, in 1950 than now.

Without saying I know exactly what numbers to use, I'm pretty certain that betting on things matching to within 20% is unjustified without, well, a specific logical justification.

However, regarding penalties being the same, this seems like a lack of incentives that would mean neither lives saved nor lost.

Also, I don't think saving tens of thousands of lives per year is a possibility if we're talking about alcohol in the US. I believe there are only on the order of 10,000 fatalities per year.

I note that millions of people (again, in the US) seem to think 10,000 covid-19 fatalities in only a few weeks is not worth even wearing a mask to stop.

Some of the things I read while writing this:

This is what's known as an 'anecdote', and is at the crux of the issues surrounding men's weight loss. This approach, and other very obvious and straightforward ones do indeed work perfectly well for a fair fraction of the population, but they perform poorly for another large fraction, and fail abysmally for yet a third.

While there are no doubt plenty of people that could lose weight fairly readily if they gave it some basic effort, most of the people who are actively trying to do so (enough to pay for a service that supports that, for example) are in the second and third categories. And yet every time anyone posts in a non-dedicated forum anything about systems and plans to help that group solve their problems, there are a dozen people like you popping in to tell us "it's not that hard, just give it a try!"

I regularly make 60 mile bike rides, I can jog 10 miles (though I can't walk the next day when I do), I play tennis about 7 hours a week. I weigh 465 pounds. Trust me, I've tried the approach you're describing here. I once managed to hold onto it for 8 months, during which I lost about thirty pounds and then plateaued, while constantly fighting my body. I was sick twice as often as usual, and I had to carefully micromanage my calorie intake to make sure I had available calories for any physical activity I wanted to engage in, all while constantly battling cravings for dozens of foods _I don't even like_.

It would be a simpler world if all of us fat people were just fat because we're lazy, but the truth is that people vary really a lot, physically and metabolically. Your experience of the world is valid, but not universal.

iCloud backups _are_ encrypted, but have an HSM-escrowed key process on court order.

People like to pretend crypto is always E2E or nothing, but escrowed keys do mean that the process of checking cloud-backed data has an auditable release process, that the keys to your data are outside the cloud-hosted infrastructure, and that there is no support for blanket data scanning.

> assuming they encrypt iCloud photos at some point

iCloud photos are already encrypted. See above.
There is no essay entitled "who gets to define what's ‘theft?’" Theft is a well-defined crime, at least with respect to material property.

Actually, your confusion is understandable, because racism is also quite well-defined. Racism is a property of our society, that 1.1% of black Americans are incarcerated, compared to 0.02% of white Americans. (even worse, more than 1 in 25 black men between 25 and 44 years old are incarcerated) [0] Racism is a property of our society, that the average white household holds ten times the wealth of the average black household. [1] Racism is a property of our society, that CIA and other executive-branch officials who created and profited from the 1980s crack epidemic will never answer for their crimes. [2]

Racism is that property of our society, that any attempt to somewhat balance these tilted scales is always drowned out by sophomoric false equivalences, like the idea that white people suffer as much from accusations of racism as BIPoCs do from racism itself.

The pathetic whinging recorded on this page makes clear that all of this is much harder for those who worry about who gets to "define" racism, than it is for me.

Usually if I need to break out the debugger, the flow has already become out of control in complexity to the point where print doesnt even help anymore and needs a refactor anyway, but the bug needs to be fixed sooner than the 1-2 weeks that would take.

They want to and choose to. Working for those entities gets you paid and (at least theoretically) raises your quality of life if you don't have a lot of money. Fighting the man gets you a life of hardship and pain. For some people it is worth it but for most its not. Most people care more about their own well being than that of others; I don't think that is news or even a particularly offensive statement.
