The technological change is following the changes in the nature of software development.

Perhaps the most important one is the wide-spread contamination with the poisonous mix of VC money with the start-up "move fast and break things" mentality. Notice how the arguments pro Electron always include speed of development, speed of deployment, etc. (dev-focused) and the counter-arguments include performance, usability, etc. (user-focused). Using Electron is mainly beneficial for the developers - they don't need to have so much experience, there's plenty of JS developers available, they don't need to try hard.

Another one is the voracity for control and captive user bases. Nowhere does it become more clear that one has no say in the direction a piece of software is going than when using a web app. Today when you load the app the menu's on top, tomorrow it's hidden on the left, next week you're part of an A/B test and so on. Enjoy the ride and consider yourself lucky if you can at least export your data.

On the native side, both Apple and Google have tried hard (and succeeded) to reduce the value of software to about 1 EUR. This has led to bogus subscription models and an extreme proliferation of ads and tracking. Microsoft have gone crazy years ago and made a complete mess of their desktop offering - one wouldn't know what to develop in even if they wanted to build a native application. And most Windows apps have such mediocre looks, that an Electron app may even be an upgrade. :-)

Finally, the thing that bothers me the most - way too many developers are working on building an online public image, an attractive GitHub profile (and it has to be GitHub), a following. We're in the era of performative software development. The peacocking and the drama reserved for the silliest of the artistic domains are now firmly entrenched in the online world of software development. What the front-end development community lacks in experience and common sense more than makes up for in numbers and willingness to quarrel.

Here's something funny in closing: the Nylas Mail project mentioned in the article has been meanwhile abandoned. But apparently one of the orignal authors created a fork called Mailspring. Directly quoted from the first paragraph of the GitHub README:

"It replaces the JavaScript sync code in Nylas Mail with a new C++ sync engine based on Mailcore2. It uses roughly half the RAM and CPU of Nylas Mail and idles with almost zero "CPU Wakes", which translates to great battery life. It also has an entirely revamped composer and other great new features."

There's an elegance and beauty to the raw power of a program running natively on the CPU that a bumbling hippo like Electron can never dream of. Commercial software development always had a survival of the fittest aspect to it, but now we're stuck in a local optimum where mediocre but easier to develop solutions are able to evolve fast enough and make enough money or draw enough of a community to survive and thrive - at least until the VC money runs out or the devs get tired of the clumsiness of the hippo.
I think people speak this subject too anthropocentric here, the real problem is EM pollution at a massive and unprecedented scale is making the insect population collapse. All of that, without mentioning the lack of methods and funding to study the dangers because the economic incentives are too high. Time will speak by itself.
I think it's reasonable when people are confined to a hotel room for two weeks.
Nah another one, don't want to bad mouth it because I still hope the language does well. There's actually a bunch that could fit into the category.
People often make the mistake of looking at the reaction energy of fusion, and comparing that with fission or burning fossil fuels.

But the majority of the reaction energy is carried away by high-speed neutrons, which are pure waste - they can't be captured by magnetic fields, they are heavy and penetrate almost any material, leaving holes behind that make the structure brittle, and when they do get absorbed, they make the atom that absorbed them unstable, turning the material radioactive.

So, at least as long as we use neutri-producing fusion (and any realistic fusion reactor has to) the actually usable energy is not that impressive compared to fission.
... yes. very much so.
Money is not the primary motivation for doing something. This is big myth. In all surveys where I come from, money comes quite a bit down on the list on what employees look for in a job. Additionally, there are factors that might be surprising, like trends (what is considered "cool", or "correct" or "noble" etc).
Yeah, unfortunately for security minded folks the unique ID of the IAM security principal isn't used instead of (or in conjunction with) the ARN. Or perhaps fortunately if you are blindsided by a security setting that makes you wonder how thorny it is on the backend if this shipped to production in the first place. I experienced something similar. We tried recreating it on a whim thinking it wouldn't work but needless to say everyone on that call was surprised.

I know they did (do?) some weird stuff exposing the control plane with VPC Endoints that seem like some kind of weird hybrid of AWS-managed endpoints and privatelink. I always wondered how scrappy the team had to be at the beginning when they were still pushing ECS hard.
This seems to be quite a fragile way of offloading some of the recruitment/interview/screening process to the persons friends. What stops Paul paying his friends/acquaintances to endorse him?

Doesn't this perpetuate the lack of diversity in the job market? Whenever I hire I'll ask anyone I know that's worked in the same place if they have an opinion on them - but won't use a lack of one to not bring in for an interview.

If there were "hidden" dangers from EM radiation, then it would have been obvious decades ago.

People harp on about tobacco, but the evidence for illness caused by smoking was immediately evident the first time it was examined.

These days even school kids learning about statistics can download the data and see the correlation.

However any correlation between EM and health has never been detected in spite of hundreds of careful studies.
Development / product culture. Electron should have a fix time quantum, for example 6 weeks, and make performance:feature ratio 4:1. Otherwise, floods of ongoing features development will also produce "Bug as a Denial of Service", and performance improvement yields negative result.

tldr; just pay tech debt ASAP.
Dont think it does - it ranks from its peer endorsements. Correct me if im wrong @gethigher
You can minimize attack surface, but it's silly to depend on NAT for security in any way, especially since so many devices can act like black boxes with arbitrarily insecure connections to who knows where. You can't trust that subnet alone validates a device - "but it's in the dmz!"

You have to design security around never (when possible) giving a host an opportunity to screw things up. Assume every host will be hostile at some point in its lifetime - zero trust or bust.
I did read the whole article but had already come to my conclusions when I read this passage:

> Unfortunately, existentialism is difficult to maintain, because mostly we can’t choose meanings. Some meanings are nearly impossible to either alter or overlook, and so are some meaninglessnesses.

Then there was this passage which further put the nail in the coffin:

> Where existentialism said meaning must be an arbitrary individual choice, pomo makes it an arbitrary social choice. When social groups make different choices, there is no basis for negotiation, because both are equally arbitrary. Then all conflicts reduce to raw power struggles.

> This “banal nihilism” is the ideological basis for much current populist authoritarianism.3 These movements are simultaneously dogmatically eternalistic and chaotically nihilistic. The tribal ”values” are absolute, and must not be questioned or disrespected; but truth, morality, and justice have no meaning beyond what we want this week.

These interpretations of Existentialism and Postmodernism are so catastrophically wrong that they invalidate the entire article. A cursory reading of Existentialist discussion of "bad faith" should cover the first. For Postmodernism - first off, Postmodernism is such a loose coalition of thinkers that any totalizing statement about them, is likely, wrong (at least in part). Secondly, Postmodernism generally encourages a skepticism about all hierarchies of knowledge, including what the author describes as 'tribal "values"'. Under Postmodernism, these values are questioned and, for example, "deconstructed".

My suggestion is that the author ought to stop thoughtlessly regurgitating what Mr. Jordan Peterson has to say about Existentialism and Postmodernism and expand his reading to cover the texts themselves.
Because Atkinson cycle gas ICE has about the same efficiency as a diesel ICE (about 40%), but is a lot simpler and cheaper to produce. Gasoline cost is just one factor. There are also maintenance costs and turbodiesels lose pretty badly there. It is also harder to get emissions other than CO2 low in a diesel engine (you need DPF, EGR, all of that adds complexity and decreases durability).
> Guess what happens when you don't invest that money up front? You pay for it dearly later on.

But that's the thing - these companies don't expect to be the ones to invest in these developers over the years, to let them upskill themselves. Neither do other companies. If you look at /r/CSCareerQuestions, you'll find that many of the younger devs are having quite a lot of trouble finding work, very few companies wanting to invest in the start of their careers, since they might as well just look for the more experienced devs out there.

But why is that? Simply because there is no actual guaranteed return on such an investment. A company might as well spend months of their experienced developers' time while making them mentor the more junior devs and invest a lot of resources in this, as well as have more overhead to their development because of needing to spend longer on QA and fixing bugs introduced by these juniors, for them to just turn around and leave when they've gotten the seniority that they desire.

In essence, all of this investment will return this company absolutely nothing and instead will benefit the next company that this developer goes to, which might as well be their direct competitor. Why should companies take this risk, instead of letting other companies do so, train the juniors for them and simply pluck skilled devs from the market when they become available?

I don't condone that approach, but it feels to me like a zero sum game, especially in a competitive market.

I don't have any solutions to offer, since in my eyes preparing devs should be the work of universities AND some other institution after getting their education, that would bring them up to speed to actual industry practices (like bootcamps, but for people with basic knowledge of academia).

Yet, even after getting my Master's, in lieu of such an organization, i simply had to get the practical skills over many evenings and weekends, as well as worked as a developer thanks to one of the companies that did take a risk on me, all while i was also studying. Having to work in the evenings and weekends seems a bit silly when compared with other industries, but with how much churn there is in regards to tech, i don't see alternatives.

Exactly: as someone who sells banking backends (in C#/.NET Core with React apps and web frontends), 'old' banks are the main clients. Note though it is not only tech that they want to rejuvenate; they make it a separate part with different people that don't have the adhere to the ancient processes (outside ISO and PCI that is) that slipped into the day to day running on the bank and is costing them money and clients. But as you say, it is also responding more rapidly to demands technically.
This article only talks about colon cancer in mice. BioNTech has multiple mRNA based cancer treatment projects and some of them, such as a melanoma treatment, are already in phase 2 trials [1] on humans. Moderna has similar candidates in the pipeline. It looks like it's time to hold our breaths this time.

Guys, if you omit a letter, omit the "K". Because Harkov or Harkovchanka are close enough to the original pronounciation (Kharkov, Kharkovchanka), while Karkov or Karkovchanka do not even ring a bell.

I've recently discovered that my entire country mispronounces "sheikh", so for now it's my pet peeve of sorts.

Endorsements remind me on how bank loans work. For every loan transaction that exists a collateral security or deposit is required to acquire the loan. Same can be said to this idea of endorsements -an amount of money (collateral security / deposit) to endorse the candidate and backs their skills / talent to get the role.

Openskill.py Python Implementation of Weng-Lin Bayesian Ranking
What? Patently Wrong!
F# doesn't have functors but SML and OCaml do. F# has Computation Expressions which (AFAIK) SML does not have; OCaml has PPX extensions. F# has access to .NET ecosstem, JS ecosystem and multi-core. OCaml has easy binding to C but multi-core hasn't quite landed yet. There are a few competing JS compilers for OCaml.

F# is the most mainstream of the 3. If you can live without the fancier type-system features (trust me, you probably can!) it's the easiest ride.
I agree, SML just seems very "clean" and well-designed. I think it hits a sweet spot between simplicity, clarity and power.

To me the term "Digital Minimalism" doesn't even make a lot of sense, if you compare it to "normal" Minimalism.

Many things only have one thing in common, being digital, but why would you lump them together? Sure, you kinda sit in front of a screen. But do you really? Nobody includes any of these things: making a phone call over a mostly digital line/voip, listening to a podcast or music with your completely digital device.

Maybe it's just a new name for what our parents told us in the times before the computer? "Don't sit in your room/in front of the TV all day".

End of rant about the name. Start of rant about the thing.

Interests change. Nobody can tell you what to do if you think spending time at a computer/tablet is what you want to do. If you only do it because you have no ideas? Simple. Try out every suggestion someone throws at you. But if you have fun doing it, why change the habit? (Let's assume it's still a healthy amount of time.)

But to maybe answer the question a bit: for me it's mountain biking or cycling in general, meeting friends, and that's also why there hasn't been a lot of it the last 2 summers, so I'm fully embracing the screen time and simply hoping that next summer will be better.
I got my license in California in 1993 and it was required then too. I remember because we made fun of how the driver handbook said, "you must provide your thumbprint, or your fingerprint if you have no thumbs".

And this suffering is the key to unlocking your freedom IMHO. The best thing i read red about it so far is from Khalil Gibrans' The Prophet:

And a woman spoke, saying, Tell us of Pain. And he said: Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief. Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility: For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen, And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.

I don't understand his point:

> A pixel is a point sample. It exists only at a point.

Wouldn't that completely depend on where the pixel comes from?

For a rasterised vector drawing, surely each pixel will get its colour from the whole area it represents?

If it's a downsampled photo, each pixel would correspond to several points.

And in digital cameras, does a pixel really represent a "point" in space? It seems that in a 10 megapixel camera, you'd really ideally want each sensor pixel to capture all the light that hits that 1/10 millionth part of the sensor. That way you maximize light intake, and capture more information than if you merely sample "a single light ray" in the center of teach sensor pixel.

> Nihilism includes moral nihilism, the claim that there are no morally good or bad actions. If people believed and acted on that, we’d have the nihilist apocalypse.

I think this is true, morally good or bad has been a moving target for some time, they are not concrete. Rather they are derived from inner definitions, and outside definitions at a point in time, and even then questionable.

While my knowledge of Nihilism is very small, but I would gather that Moral Nihilist are not rampaging through the street killing people, as while there is no concrete version of morals, there is no need to act in a manner which harms people, after all why would it matter.

And now I am going back to my solipsism.
