I couldn't get my head around that coming back into frontend dev after a break from it — was on a project where we had some bug in the build output that seems like it'd be trivial to fix in a plain Grunt/Gulp set-up but was told "oh we can't fix that, because it's coming from within create-react-app & I don't know if we're ready to eject yet. Once you do, you can't go back"
The last 70 or so years have been the most peaceful in human history. How? The American military and economic hegemony. If you want peace, build more aircraft carriers.
I think the modern replacement of VW in this respect might be Dacia. They are selling bare minimum cars at an affordable price. They just introduced the "Spring" which is a small 4-seated electric car starting below 20k€, after subsidies you can get it in Germany for less than 10k€.
Define economic growth.
One of the seminal computer books, in its way as important as SICP and K&R.
there aren't any cars to buy.

any sources to back up that core assumption?
what does the polemic "no cars" mean? 5% less cars produced than in previous years?

So... maybe I misunderstood your comment. Your advice was to be leery of such actions. Are you saying to be leery because you believe those actions arise from a place of despair more often than from trying to remedy a situation or to be successful?

What would you tell someone who is genuinely trying to communicate a message to their boss's boss, about how things are mismanaged or how they could be done better... assuming that person is not lashing out from despair but actually wants to help the company?
American Capitalism will end the same way Soviet Communism ended.
Uh that has nothing to do with it? I don't immediatly know the URL of a website which shows me info about lamps?
3 rules of defense contracting:

1) Get the money. DOD likes to talk about future contracts. Nothing is real until contract is signed

2) Keep the money. DOD likes to cost sharing where the contractor has to pay the Military for the things they were already going to do, facilities that already exist, etc

3) Get more money. A contract just sets you up for winning the next contract
Hierarchies dont like to be turned upside down on the scale of competence. Managers hate when their managing cant be attributed to a success. The lesson here is if you do something out of band, if you want it to work, find a way to fake the participation of the powers at be.

This sucks, but it is the only option when you only improve one facet of something. If on the otherhand you could do the whole business then it is time for you to found.
It depends on the planet you are on.
The defence industry already makes many tools for peace. A lot of effort goes into making tools to counteract opposing weaponry, much of which can be applied to defend civilians. But also weapons can defend civilians. The problem isn't having defence, it's how you use it.
Ha, great to see ChucK on here again!
I'm one of the early developers of ChucK along with its creators, Ge Wang and Perry Cook.
Happy to answer any questions anyone has.
Well said. A good piece of work is its own satisfaction, and a broken piece of code is misery for everyone. People who fix broken things just because they're broken and should be fixed are the lifeblood of any organization. Once they're displaced by people who don't know, understand, or care, the organization is basically a zombie.
This is a great idea and actually wouldn't be that hard to automatically generate from the example code that is provided.

At my first job I wrote a new Java application to ingest/transform/store some data and after about 6 months it was done. It chugged along for years after without ever really requiring any maintenance or monitoring, it just kept working. One day the VP eng just showed up at my desk and started chatting, I didn't really know why. Turns out he was interested in knowing why it was so stable but it was an obvious part of software to me - every line I wrote where an exception was possible, I would look up what exceptions could be thrown and why, and then structure try catches to do the right thing in each case - sometimes that meant logging a warning, sometimes propagating to a higher level, sometimes shutting down the app etc. He then sent out some paper about the relationship between good error handling and software defects to the org.

Like I don't get why this is so difficult for so many devs. Your job is to think about both the happy case and the error cases, and usually there are many error cases and 1 happy case so the bulk of time and code is dedicated to the errors. Since then I've seen this is not at all the way most devs write things. They are interested in writing the happy case and treat error handling like a chore to be done as quickly as possible. The tools and language constructs don't matter much, it's just do you dedicate time and care to thinking through errors or not.

Yeah it sounds boastful but fuck it it's true. Same is true regardless of this study it's not about the structure and syntax of error handling,it's how much thought was given to understanding the failure modes and how to handle them.
Well, apparently you are indeed.

That was awful wording on my part, I meant to say that I had to remote into my client's machine to disable IPv6 because he couldn't connect to the Azure datacenters we were using half the time except when using IPv4. Literally portal.azure.com and everything else on Azure wouldn't respond until I got my client to disable IPv6.
You are right, few people are aware how high the costs of just owning a car are. Fortunately, here in Europe, a car isn't mandatory everywhere. While there are remote locations in the countryside where you really want a car, a large part of the population can get by quite well with public transport. And once you got rid of your car, you save so much money that you can easily afford to occasionally call a taxi, if a car is absolutely needed.
Sometimes apps are moving targets as if they were games.

I propose a grace period of maybe 250 ms after a visible change.

Let's say I click a button but the window poof! disappeared just exactly then and revealed a different button beneath the closed window. Aargh! Now I caused something else!

My contrarian opinion is that we should try out this: if a button disappeared visually it is still there for 250 ms more. So we aren't caught by the GUI change.

After 250 ms we can react and cancel the intention to click.

I am sure we need to experiment with the time needed and make it configurable.
So if I look these up I see:

- csrss: Client Server Runtime Subsystem

- smss: Session Manager Subsystem

and so on. It seems that WSL is indeed breaking convention, or else it would be something like lss or lxss for example.
I tried to find a meantone tempered version of K448 but was unable to.

For those unaware, our contemporary tuning system for the piano, Equal Temperament, is a somewhat recent invention. It came after Mozart. There are dramatic differences if Mozart is played on the historically accurate Meantone tuning. For a sample see [0], although note that the cheerful final passage is believed to have been composed post mortem by someone else.

I tend to pair up with artists where I handle the code and they command the visuals. I find that highly effective and the conversations around UI drive both people to double down on their work. I haven't participated in paired coding but I'd think it would work in a similar way. Really the smaller the team, the more motivated everyone is to pull their weight, but I've even worked on 5-6-person teams where at least one person declared themselves the "marketing" person was living off the fat of the land.
Distribution is quite different to supplying raw materials or tools. While some of the products mentioned provide some authoring tools, they're attached to a distribution channel that's somewhat controlled by the platform. (Substack being the notable exception, and NFTs being a difference of kind.)
Ensuring there are regular backups of the organizations data is the responsibility of the organization and not the responsibility of GitLab.

Disaster recovery did not go away with the advent of cloud providers. It morphed from having a plan to recover when fire takes out a data centre to having a plan to recover when provider X whose free plan we base our business on no longer has our data.
I see notifications for starting Gitlab CI pipelines in Google Chrome on MacOS. What kind of notifications do you want exactly?

I would rather have less notifications, they distract me too much.
The profit angle is wrong.
While creators would no doubt love a steady income, at every point in history the greatest art was produced when a few geniuses sacrificed their lives for it.
Art as a day job not only produces mediocrity, it does so at a scale that drowns out true genius.
Sucks for the creators, but throwing money at self proclaimed "creators" just gets you a giant pile of shit.
It may not be fair, but true creators will press on in any environment, it's who they are.
Cutting the money just trims the wannabes.
No single course, method, or resource is going to do it for everyone.

IMHO (7 year old, at it since ~5) start with co-op games that include logic elements. An early one we loved is Koala Kids on Steam. Co-op + game = engagement guarantee.

From there I believe it's good to mix it in with maths learning. So with counting by X do a physical abacus and transfer the same process to an LED or similar screen-based sequence with programming.

Once the code shows the same sequence, change the code to calculate the answer to questions. Show how much faster it is to use the code version to figure things out.

Show how you can program a function to solve a type of homework question. Reward working functions above individual solutions.

Move gaming to more logic puzzle things, stuff that includes sequences, like Human Resource Machine, variants of the old "robot pushes blocks around", etc. When Shenzhen IO is engaging, you've won (we're not there yet).
Air conditioning uses a bit more power than I thought, but it's still not that much.

Installing a couple solar panels would probably be much more effective.
> Galaxy filaments are thinning

As far as I know there is no evidence that this is the case.

Voids are reasonably well explained by Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) in the very early universe.

There is a sketch of the process here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryon_acoustic_oscillations#C...

The tl;dr is that the implosion of early dense baryon clouds created shockwaves which threw most of the matter (including dark matter) out of the regions that later became cosmic voids.

Few voids are outright surrounded by denser parts of the cosmic web, and there are many "invasions" of dense filamentary structures into large voids. Additionally, at much larger scales the difference between relatively empty space and relatively full space blurs away (WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey, SDSS-BOSS) preserving our ability to work with the spatially homogeneous and isotropic distribution of matter in the concordance cosmology. Thus the matter an be modelled as a uniform "dust" whose individual motes move only with the expansion, and even as a set of perfect fluids which carry attributes such as pressure, density, velocity of sound, and effective equation of state.

It's been known since the 1990s (https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9503044 ) that cosmic voids & supervoids aren't strictly speaking empty at the largest scales. More recently sky surveys have found evidence that we are probably in a supervoid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KBC_Void

It is pretty reasonable to expect that ongoing detailed sky surveys will find small numbers of galaxies and/or quasars in most voids, as any reasonably dense concentrations of matter left behind from the BAO would tend to collapse gravitationally. The orbits in such in-void structures will be important observational targets. One should expect that these galaxies (and the subsystems within them) do not expand with the cosmos any more than our galaxy or our solar system, and that their peculiar against the cosmological comoving coordinates is low, like galaxies clearly outside voids.
It seems in Europe there is the general idea that with the USA waning as the sole superpower, and further with the USA more and more focused on great power competition with China [1] rather than partnering with Europe against the Soviet Union, Europe must take on more responsibility for its own defense. Including the capability to build top of the line high tech military gear like fighter jets.

Of course, the problem is how to convince European tax payers to part with the money necessary for this. Particularly as we already have two separate European projects to design next gen fighters, the UK-Italian-Swedish Tempest as well as the French-German-Spanish FCAS. Like herding cats.

I wonder what could be done to reduce the cost of developing a new top of the line fighter? More COTS components? A modular approach, which is certainly much more limited in scope in high-performance aircraft than e.g. in cars?

[1] As for China and Russia, interestingly it seems that China is poised to overtake Russia in combat aircraft development: https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/whitehall...
Is It Scam to Use Androxene?
Sweden has reusable torpedos. Most torpedos can be tested, but Sweden’s are routinely testable and that’s a very different capability. And as the torpedos become more autonomous, they become drones that can act like torpedos if the opportunity presents.

Similar parallels can be drawn to the Iranian attack on Saudi refineries recently. The line between cruise missiles and drones blurred.

So, yes, there is a move towards cruise missiles being chassis you can task with routine intelligence gathering, picket etc and even launching stand-off ordinance.

That sounds really cheap, source? I was expecting maybe 10m (still a drop in the ocean). At 1m a pop you can fire a 1000 a day a still only be at 1billion/day

While an interesting correlation. The conclusion that plugging this particular hole might not be the best goal to focus on improving.

It's two variables that are not statistically independent of each other. A novice developer is more likely to write bugs as they are to use anti-patterns of exception handling, or anti-patterns for anything else for that matter. Basically correlation is not causation.
If you replace "for" with "to run" and append "programs" then it works much better.
> that's entirely a vehicle for money laundring and speculation

This statement agrees with my priors, but can you point me to any evidence, even anecdotal if it's reliable?
I think it's more likely that WW1 and WW2 collectively persuaded even the most thick-headed of western elites that great power conflicts are bad for everyone, even the winners.

There's a reason why the french and the british were so reluctant to start WW2 - the first world war was completely devastating to their societies, and it didn't even improve their security, since Germany was able to relatively quickly rebuild and rearm.
That doesn't affect the EU as a whole. Sweden is skeptical about giving EU that role anyway, they're working for closer strategic ties to the US, and have signed agreements to that effect. They already chose Patriot over a German/French project for air defense.
These are incredibly creative... check out Bug, written by a 7th grader in 1978 https://archive.org/details/bug.qb64
Tbf, gearbox shafts and gears can handle a lot of torque and power for their size.
I don’t know, blaming YouTube for that is kind of weird?

Also your original examples seem more positive. If more people started exercising and gardening because of YouTube, I think that would be amazing.
Especially for products with higher levels of network effect.
Don't be so eager to throw our tax money into this pit.
What is the best way to learn?
I think this distrust in democracy as a system to elect representative people to legislate and govern is widespread and to a certain degree based on facts, but also deeply worrying. In a way it signifies a failure of democracy.
Speaking of tracks, apparently production of M1 tanks is going at full pace, thanks to the factories being located in the districts of influential politicians. The military has no need for them though, so they are going straight to storage.
Violence is the last recourse of the incompetent.
I remember back in 1982 or 1983, I got a copy of More Basic Computer Games[1] from a bookstore in a mall. At the time, I had a ti99/4a and I was 13 or 14 years old. On the way home we stopped at a Pizza Hut, and I was flipping through this book, and I came across the chapter about ELIZA[2] and there was a sample conversation with this thing[3], and it was blowing my mind! Was this real? WTF? How does it work?

Eventually, I studied this thing and more or less figured out how it worked.

A few months later, I was taking French as a 9th grader, and I had to do a project. I elected to translate ELIZA to french. I borrowed from a friend a speech synthesis module for the ti99/4a. So, you could type French sentences into it, and it would speak French back at you via the speech sythesizer module[4]

Around that time, there was some kind of "show" or "fair" at which the students were invited to show off various projects or what not. So, I brought in my French ELIZA thing, with the borrowed speech synthesizer. But, this being Waveland Mississippi, nobody spoke French, so it wasn't much of a hit. Realizing this, I thought screw it, let's load up the English version. Oh boy, was that ever a hit! A crowd soon gathered (this was 1982 or 1983 I think -- computers weren't something everyone had even seen, much less talking computers, much less talking computers that appeared to understand English (and French!), at the hands of a 9th grader!), it was quite the spectacle, and they were shouting things, which I would dutifully type into my little ti99/4a. The crowd would fall reverently silent, anticipating the robotic voice (that nowadays we associate with Stephen Hawkings) and after the response, the shouting would begin anew. I remember one kid saying, "Tell it to fuck off!" Knowing a bit about how the program worked, I would rephrase their suggestions so as to produce optimal responses, so I thought about this, took a quick look around to see if any teachers were nearby, then typed in, "can you fuck off?" and it responded beautifully: "Perhaps you would like to be able to fuck off?", eliciting howls of laughter from the gathered crowd of highschoolers. And it went on like this for awhile. It was beautiful.

Technically they only banned the Schengen area countries, not the EU.

You can still travel to the US freely from Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Cyprus, if you can find a flight.
You mean 2 milion unlocked phones are no problem ? Every cent counts. They just need more.
Not GP but as someone who loves Rust and spent a lot of time trying to use it as a FE language, I settled on F# for my own frontend projects. It has many of the nice things Rust has (discriminated unions, pattern matching, ML inspired syntax) but is much more aimed at typical business logic apps.

With Fable compiler in the frontend and .NET core on backend, you can write the same language on both and even share interfaces, types etc. and it’s just a pleasure to use. If you haven’t tried the .NET ecosystem in the past few years, it’s come a looong way from the old windows only days.

To me, this sounds more like a problem with lack of genetic diversity. I'd like to see this experiment done again with a larger and more diverse population to start with.
In case there was any reason to doubt: I agree.
