lol, here's what the standards body has published [0]. Version 9 still in dev, with "recent" releases of:

1992 - French v9.a.e

2000 - French v9.e.m

2011 - French v9.m.q

Don't be deceived by the dates, though. The project isn't dead. The Larousse and Le Robert forks are actively developed.

N.B. There is still no native (or at least SDL) port for Symbian.[0]

And all ZX-Spectrum emulators for Symbian are abandoned/deprecated.[1,2,3]

The only person who maybe could still port PoP (or at least SDLPoP 1.14[4]) for Symbian is 'Another Guest'[5,6] from RetroGuru Team[7,8]

why doesn't Microsoft Teams have this?!
There's a zero percent chance that a company like Youtube would allow its content to go completely unmoderated. It has to moderate its content. It has advertisers who are associated with content and it has to keep on the right side of copyright law. Also, no website operator wants the hassle of dealing with court orders because posters are engaging in verbal slapfights online. Your proposal of A would have an EXTREME chilling effect on speech.

Because Youtube exists in the real world, and because earning money through ads is a hell of a lot better for business than trying to get people to pay for content, C is always the best option for them and for every other content provider AND virtually all small and independent content producers.

Otherwise, companies like Youtube would be forced to gate entrance to supplying content by charging hosting fees for content. You are seeing the tree and missing the rest of the forest.

I think this is an overly abstracted view of how transitions work. In reality, most trades are experiential-apprenticeship businesses, and technology advances slowly. For example, a 15-year-old car may run ignition with a distributor, while a newer one may have coil packs that receive signals from MOSFETs in the engine computer assembly. Fixing those two systems can be totally different despite the fact that both have engine control computers.

Technological advance is not a step function and describing every transition as disruptive is not particularly meaningful even when it is true.

Very good summary. While it is true that ISO is stuck in time, at the same time its model weren't out-of-place when it was implemented, similar to how copyright laws now seems weird or plain wrong to many here while a century back (outside US, because theirs was weirder) it was widely accepted to compensate corporations who have took their time to record and stamp those phonographs.
Do you have examples for this?
Even more: speech in the native language is processed differently than non-native languages.

I was a proband in an fMRI study that played German and Polish fricatives (s and sh sounds) and measured the responses of different parts of the brain: https://elib.uni-stuttgart.de/handle/11682/2612

When a native German speaker listens to German fricatives, the same parts of the brain flare up as when a native Polish speaker listens to Polish fricatives.

But when the other language is played, different parts of the brain get active.
There are also enough false deployments that caused harm with these parachutes (edit: instances where pilots didn’t deploy when they should have) that the jury is out on how much of an improvement these are to safety, overall. Operator skill and training is a big factor and this product isn’t targeted at highly trained pilots.
I would have thought you just need to include the rust-hyperscan crate[1] which would take care of that for you (but that crate probably didn't exist when you looked at it). I don't have a sense on the impact it has on overall binary size.

> following a day of virtual meetings

I've done full days of real meetings. Those were exhausting and very draining. I'm surprised that anybody would expect anything different from virtual meetings.

I have noticed that it's harder to feel people as fully human when they're little 2D movies. Even moreso when they're disembodied voices.

It's less so when I've met the people IRL. I'm guessing I can then link their image or voice to the human I know.

In my experience, there's also far less participation when everybody has their camera off.
Completely agree. Once you learn enough languages, it all starts blending together and looking more or less the same. Same control structures, same functions, same structures, same classes, same objects, same lists, same hash tables, same pretty much everything. There's usually a few innovations and peculiarities here and there but it's not that much.

The bulk of the language is actually the standard library. The APIs people will be using to solve the vast majority of problems. Of particular interest are the APIs used for dealing text and I/O because everything involves them.

This is why Scheme is so easy to learn. The language itself can be learned in hours. The standard library is so small it's pretty much useless. Learning Racket on the other hand is much harder.

To go even further than standard library, read the language's source code. This is especially relevant for virtualized languages. The implementation reveals how they actually work and enable a much deeper understanding of it.
the goal was to run nginx in docker, if you want to run nginx without docker you can just not do the docker parts. not sure what you mean about properly configure software - you can configure nginx the same whether you use docker or not?
I've read this article some time ago, but IIRC Feynman's job was analysing whether buffers were big enough? So, maybe approach it like a kind of pipe flow problem, with reservoirs at the vertices (the buffers)?
Because it allows you to skip the entire aerospace engineering portion of the design process. Airframe design is complex and requires a lot of domain knowledge in fluid dynamics. Quads just muscle their way along and only require simple control theory to maintain flight so anyone can design and build them effortlessly.
I love it. and it also applies to all kinds of learnings. I even love how the captcha is just a link.
I found out early on on that meetings are much less fatiguing if I’m not looking at the web meeting app at all i.e. I have some document/code on my screen instead. If there is screen sharing involved so I have to look a the web meeting screen, I go full screen and minimise all their video streams which a) gets me more screen real estate, b) means it effectively becomes an audio only meeting at that point.

We used to have a shortage of meeting rooms when having them physically and locally. This was great as it meant they naturally spread out over the week. Nowadays folk think they can get you to hop on a virtual meeting room in minutes regardless of what you’re doing.

I’m very good at declining meetings where I think I’ll not be offering much value giving a reason why. I find quite often people want me in because they think I’ll enjoy it, or don’t want me out of the loop. They can summarise after by email if that’s all they want.

Here in Silicon Valley (Palo Alto), we finally removed a pedestrian street after being forced into creating it by COVID. The experiment lasted from last fall until this October, and both business leaders and local residents are extremely happy to see cars on University Avenue again.

The pedestrian area was unsightly and busy, and left limited room for parking. Businesses suffered without traffic. Residents were upset when passing traffic was displaced into their neighborhoods.

The pedestrian zone was a reasonable experiment, but it failed and we need to admit that it failed.

my experience matches yours, but there's something to be scrutinized if a lot of people do something wrong. We can't keep telling people "you're holding it wrong".

For agile, I believe what needs to be stressed is always: adapt the process to your team.

A lot of the frustration is not with the agile manifesto, but with some externally enforced scrum/whatever.
didn't know you could do this with LE. Good tip. Although this seems quite complicated to do.
You beat me to it! :)
To make a different point than all the camera naysayers so far:

I I'd be WFH for two years during covid, and everyone had their cameras off, I'd go crazy. Not seeing a face for months, being stressed about the other party in a meeting not even paying attention, just speaking into a void etc.

I feel like being lost halfway when the essay went into Christianity and established connections between Bible and his fictions and realities. It does not make much sense to me, probably because the examples and coincidences he refereed to were so "tiny" and insufficient to support his view.

I have a support contract with a company that I'm absolutely going to lose. I built a platform for them when I was a full-time employee that they're going to attempt to eventually replace using Wordpress plugins. We've tried to explain to them that the 400K users who have accounts with the site are comfortable with using it as is, and we spent months crafting the SEO which would be lost in the transition, but they're looking at cutting costs against all odds, which unfortunately will eventually include my contract. My cost to them is about 3.5% of the revenue from the site, and I suspect that when they switch over, they will lose about 80% to save that 3.5%.
I find camera use exhausting. It feels considerably more demanding and awkward than meeting IRL. There are many benefits to working from home but avoiding endless meetings is still not one of them. I attribute it to all those years working at an office, which have made many people frustratingly bad at written communication and asynchronous work.
Back in January 2020 they were saying n95 masks are primarily for health care workers. They didn't say they don't work. There are news articles from then that literally talk about the statements you are claiming they should have said.

"Most people don’t know how to use face masks correctly, and a rush to buy masks could prevent the people who need them most — health care providers — from getting them."

The Surgeon General under Trump did make a statment: " U.S. surgeon general recently urged the public to “STOP BUYING MASKS!” “They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!,” wrote Surgeon General Jerome Adams on Twitter"

So maybe you are confusing that statement? Regardless, the messaging was obviously not clear, but I can't find anything confirming the CDC said "masks don't work so don't bother trying to buy them."

The FT is well worth the cost. I read it cover to cover everyday, which is what I am doing now in the dark (PG&E). The weekend edition is always amazing, with great interviews (lunch with the FT).

>Legacy attitude stating that all medical information should be kept super private is irrational and to me looks like a cargo cult.

Without privacy for medical information people will be discriminated against at every corner. This is not "legacy attitude" but common sense and experience. In special cases like this I'm guessing the patients would consent to the release, since it's much worse dying like this, but a blanket statement that less medical privacy is good sounds naive.
They care, they just don't want to pick a fight. They might judge you and believe the reason you're not on camera is because you're busy doing something else.

I lived before agile came around. And bad the old days of waterfall are to large extend carricature. Maybe it existed in the horrible form agile advocates pretend, but I have no seen that. And for me, work was in fact more motivating before agile. Agile turned the work I really liked a lot into something you do for money. Agile at it best is tolerable.

It does not. It is micromanagement ritualized and it somehow leaves both customer and workers unhappy.
"In 1994 the artists Komar & Melamid commissioned a public-research polling firm to conduct The People’s Choice, the first poll on artistic taste in the United States. Individuals were asked approximately 100 questions on a variety of subjects, ranging from their consumer tastes and recreational activities to their knowledge of famous artists, and their preference for angles, curves, brushstrokes, and particular colors, sizes, content, and style in painting. As Russian émigrés, the artists were intrigued by the idea of the consumer-research poll as an outgrowth of American democracy. At the same time, their interest in democracy led the artists to ask what a genuine people’s art would look like. What is a democratic and populist painting?"

https://curatorsintl.org/exhibitions/the-peoples-choice
I don't see what this could possibly tell us about art. The generated images are both too random, but also have absolutely no character or variation.

There are so many brilliant sources of understanding on what makes art appealing, and so many images of art on the internet. I don't get why the site would use these drawn-in-ten-seconds-in-mspaint images for voting.
That's something I haven't thought about. I hand waived it with pretending that people be just as motivated to do this as they are with self-driving cars.

It is an interesting question though! I think of a few things that could be done quite easily:

Communication can happen via low latency with relatively little data. I wouldn't know what's best for that.

* Roads can broadcast. Roads can listen through sensors and determine the position of every car.

* Cars can broadcast. Cars can listen.

* Things can go wrong. There'd be huge demand for any distributed system engineer :P

A use-case sketch:

A road can determine if it almost goes out of bounds. A road can determine if two cars are about to collide, but so could two cars.

So this would work well in places where there are only roads and cars (e.g. highways and "road only" type of roads -- i.e. no bicycle lanes).

Cyclists can communicate as well. They need to chip their bike.

Pedestrians can communicate as well. They need to chip their coat. Though I'm not happy with that solution (what if the coat gets lost?).

Anyways that's my rough sketch. I'd need to research the technologies needed for this.

This would make for a fun systems design interview.

Whomever wants to brainstorm with me on it, feel free to email me. I don't think I'm particular talented in this area but I can be a rubber ducky.
Yes, and that it's 100% business. Hard to get a good social conversation in a remote meeting with 5+ people, so the real meeting starts right away, and when it's done everyone disconnect. Compared to a physical meeting where people will talk in smaller groups before and after.
Looks amazing, but the youtube video on the site is so frustrating, endless demos and credits, not much gameplay - takes nearly 3 minutes of viewing to get to anything Prince of Persia related. Not the way to sell a game, but it does look great.

The rating scale should be quantified in that case. But yeah, I always felt that way too. Pretty landscapes and stuff end up going mainstream but I've always felt "true" art in any medium has to have something slightly jarring or uncomfortable about it.

The Downside of Hospitals Becoming “Highly Reliable”
Yeah it's the least safe mode of transportation, driving, public transport and walking are all safer than cycling. "But it's the fault of the cars", no cyclists have tons of accidents by themselves and amongst each other, that walking and public transport completely avoids.

On the other hand, sometimes it really makes sense to strike out and define a new, higher standard for code style and paradigm in a given language, or at least to improve somewhat on the style and paradigm that's handed to you.

JavaScript used to be a messy language "not fit for professional use" (see popular JS books from the year 2000 :shudder:), but it turns out most of the problem was how people were using it.

JS code being written today looks like an entirely different language compared to early idiomatic "JavaScripts" one could use to make pages "more dynamic".

Dr. Fauci went on TV to tell people that there is no reason to wear a mask. He’s strictly NIAID but considering NIAID is in the CDC and that’s under HHS that leaves us with the CDC silent between two guys telling us not to wear masks.
> How to solve self-driving for cars: build digitaly aware roads

I can just imagine the scenes when someone hacks the digitally aware road to tell cars X and chaos (and potentially death) ensues.

IMHO, self-driving cars are solving a wrong problem, and if they work fully someday, might exacerbate a few others (congestion, pollution, parking).

Public transit, with diverse "last mile" options ( buses, bikes, scooters, heck, automated shuttles/pods on dedicated lanes, etc.) is just a better way of achieving the same goal.
edit: well...maybe the intrigue part of this article is that I, as a reader, cannot tell the context - whether it is fiction or essay?
> Apple are stuck with it.

Are they?

They have an enormous level of control over their deployed software. It seems like they could push out the required changes and nearly all clients would support it in no time.

For the remaining clients it seems consistent with the feature to simply block incoming messages in the wrong format.

Now, whether they'd want to implement a feature that essentially advertises that they have a security problem is another thing. (the answer is quite obviously no, regardless of what's best for their users)
