This article is in the context of computer science education, though - not real world programming.

Undergrad CS students aren't learning software development first and foremost. They're learning logic and math, data structures and algorithms. They need a low friction environment so they can learn the academic stuff without wasting their (or their TA's) time.

So while I agree that many "real world" programming jobs require dealing with the kind of boring minutia that IDEs try to abstract, this stuff shouldn't necessarily be a prerequisite for students on a CS track. There's plenty of time for the real world later :)
I was researching CRMs recently and could not find a single one that offered imap or pop3 integration. Which means you have to bcc every outgoing email and forward every incoming one just to achieve a conversation history within the context of CRM data. On the flipside I couldn’t find either an email client that offered minimal CRM features to be able to do this well either.

I just want to open a contact and see entire history plus any notes, tags, data Ive added…
I think your comment, coupled with parent’s, perfectly summarizes the problem most of this thread hints at. There is such a wide range of use cases in each particular facet of the engine and those use cases are going to be handled differently depending on time/expertise/budget/etc. For your purpose audio is handled well by a single file’s worth of C code, but there are games whose runtime audio components are almost a DAWs worth of processing and procedural sound generation and then coupled with an in game modifiable equalizer/quantizer/localizer/etc. Both your option and the more complex one are doing the job they need to do, but they are specified according to the ‘games’ need, not some overarching ‘here-is-what-a-game-engine-has-to-do-for-audio’ general advice about game engines. Articles about game engine design and the comments they elicit always seem to devolve into a very narrow perspective about individual implementations of some component for a specific target. Hell, I don’t even know if there is a way to broadly discuss the concept of a game engine without first talking about the species of engine your discussing, there is just too much space to be specific about things if you don’t narrow your discussion surface from the outset.

An addition I'd like to make is that this circle is a high dimensional sphere (>300 dimensions IMHO in our current age).

Another one is that an alternate representation of this circle can be made by having theta as the x axis, and r as -y. In this representation, a PhD would sort of look like a T: a horizontal bar for general knowledge, and a vertical one going deep down for the PhD.

That's the T shape Valve refers to in their handbook [1]. Enough generic knowledge to communicate with your peers, and a deep enough specialty to make an impact.

Other areas of specialty would make it look like paint-drip.

I believe such a map can be build for an individual through a series of ML-chosen Questions and Answers (ML because this is the tool to explore that high dimensional space), but I don't have time to try to build it :/

I believe one could also assign economic value to some paint-drip patterns. The biology + deep learning paint drip seems to be very hot right now.

Yes, that was kinda the point.

If someone is easy to manipulate to spread misinformation about Ivermectin being effective for treating COVID in humans, do I really want to listen to their opinions about (for example) technology or are they horribly misinformed in that as well?

Is it unfair? Maybe.
> Yes, dynamic imports exist but they are sort of an exotic feature that you would only use in special situations.

I wouldn't necessarily describe dynamic imports as an exotic feature. They are basically required if you're building a semi-large app (and heavily advised by most frameworks in that case!). Otherwise, your homepage is going to load in some complicated AuthorPage / HeavyComponentWithLotsOfDependencies component the user might not even want.

The main advantage of ESM in this context would be its asynchrony, which you won't get with require. Webpack tried to tack this on with require.ensure, but it was nonstandard and eventually deprecated.

Another advantage of ESM in general would be that you wouldn't have to use preprocessors and compilers like Webpack. My main reasoning here is that, prior to the import spec, web didn't have any form of imports aside from loading in scripts and polluting the global namespace (which isn't necessarily bad). The majority of websites IME use some sort of bundler though, so this isn't really a major change so much as a nice to have, I suppose?
> Borrowing as much fiat as one could take and dumping it into assets was the rational choice

This. I had a conversation with my boomer father the other day in which I tried to explain that the availability of cheap consumer debt means that individuals can now operate like mini hedge funds, making highly leveraged bets on everything from stocks to crypto to trading cards. Used to be that housing was the only highly leveraged investment available to the average consumer (20% down = 5x leverage).
I think it's possible to separate virtues from this. It's a research tool, ultimately. All the sources/sites are cited and links given. That is encouraged, of course. The user is ultimately in control of the tool to change, add to, curate, etc. the research. This just makes that process a lot faster.
This still helps other requests to the same origin, which is a very common situation if you don’t have the extra resources needed to get an SPA up to the same performance and reliability levels.
Would you rather have to copy-paste an arbitrary list of parameters into some preference menu option every time you travel internationally?

(Ironically, SIMs are falling short on this end quite a lot since they don't allow providing GPRS and MMS related configuration, which means that now we have SIMs and manual lists...)
Underrated point - social media turns everyone into their own exaggerated avatar.
How are the unvaccinated supposed to put food on their table when they are being kicked out of the military, fired from their place of employment, or told that they must comply even if operating a self-owned-work-from-home business?

These people are being forced out of regular society into an underclass that will have to operate in a grey economy to survive.
I didn't know about jGRASP. Good to learn it exists.
Tesla does have good fundamentals and a good trajectory as a car company. They make a product that people want, that sells well even with large margins, for which demand is expected to continue to grow.

The fact that the market ran up its stock price till the P/E went stratospheric doesn’t make their core business any less viable.

If Tesla stock crashes, it likely won’t be because of anything the company did, but because all bubbles eventually burst, and just about every market, from equities to crypto to trading cards and real estate is heinously overvalued right now and due for correction.

I have a friend that just got an Oculus, she is early 40s, found out about it via online zoom yoga classes and now uses it for exercise, as well as gaming, especially gaming with friends and even actually meeting because it is more comfortable than just the 2D nature of zoom.

So I can see it growing. I think AR has a better chance than full VR to be the game changing technology longer term, especially considering things like AR Facetime and equivalent.

Spiders can also get high on marijuana. It's true!

They have the same thc-receptors in their brain as we do.

It follows that they can get baked, enjoy an expanded consciousness and benefit from hallucinogenic insights just as we humans do.

So get a spider high today.
Keep in mind that’s for state of the art practices. In much of the world, productivity of food production is an order of magnitude less (corn is pretty much the most productive modern staple crop), and a bushel of corn produces about 6.7 pounds of beef, which is an order of magnitude fewer Calories than the corn you started with. Plus there is food wastage. With inefficient processes, the cost could be two orders of magnitude higher!

So the increase in actual food prices could be far greater than just one cent per day.
There is no one "original HP" anymore. It was picked apart into many different parts.

For example, HP Medical was also highly regarded, then went with Agilent and was later sold to Philips.
The word person-"ality: related to, pertaining to" a person.
An AI... can it be related to a person? When Pinnoccio became a real boy, was he even related to Jipetto then?
Even if AI were deemed alive, would it have "personality" if it couldn't be related to a person?
Or is "creator" good enough to be related to something? In which case, most of our creations are related to us, even furniture. So probably not.
>That's always been my fear, in a way. I've long been a proponent for higher minimum wages, and met with folks telling me it would raise the price of everything. On paper, they were wrong.

Even on paper, they were not wrong. The point of raising minimum wages (which has not happened federally in the US), is to transfer wealth from those who have it to those who do not.

The goal would be for labor prices at the the low end to increase faster than prices, so that the people who were previously consuming more have to consume less, and the people who had to consume minimally can consume more.

When the poor kid who has to work at burger king doubles his wage, the hope is that he can have enough money to save for a somewhat reliable car, at the expense of a richer kid being unable to eat burger king as often.
Same way watching tv does.
"without any knowledge on the topic" refers to the time BEFORE the user uses the tool. During and after the tool the user will certainly have knowledge after reading and curating the questions and answers, right? Just like, before you read about a topic you "have no knowledge" but after, you might say that you have some now.
My claim wasn't that the Haskell version is worse. Just that it isn't some super power that is free from this problem.
This has always been Google's goal, and it is delivering parts of it already in their search results.

This is already the case.
Good video on how 3D printed housing is mostly just overblown hype similar to using shipping containers:

I never had the issue with Steam going Online without my permissions on Ubuntu.

One thing that affects me with Offline mode is this scenario,

1 the kid is playing with his friends soemthing

2 I am in Offline mode but I just found a cheap game I want to try, but I would need to go Online but this would kick my son out.

so going Offline is an ugly workaround for my scenario.
If you post others' words as truth, you're either amplifying good information, or amplifying bad information.

If you're confident your sources are never gravely wrong, or cool with a more poorly informed society (now potentially in part due to your tool!), then, keep on rocking in the free world.
If we caused a bug that did that we would refund the customer of course.
One of more frequently recommended books is Jason Gregory’s ‘Game Engine Architecture’. Neither version I have is too deep in code specifics, but for standard AAA game development (Gregory was/is at Naughty Dog on their engine team) it is a pretty detailed look at the structure and options of game engines.

For a more code centric resource I would say you could check out the YouTube videos by The Cherno (former EA engine dev).

HTTP/2 definitely changed that and is near-universally supported now. The biggest win is the ability to cache things independently: with bundles your servers and clients have to retransfer everything if a single byte changes, and most of the sites I’ve worked on don’t change most of their files every time they ship an update. A cold visit will usually be immeasurably different from a bundle but a warm visit is noticeably faster.
It depends on your goal. Depositions are not taken with a judge. It’s great as a method for asking specific, exhaustive, exploratory questions and not letting the “witness” word herself out without at least making it obvious to you. I’ve used it a lot with sneaky suppliers and in general as a method to find truth. With friends a loved ones you should make it much softer and know when to stop. But the underlying conceptual framework is the same.

House spiders usually cannot live outside. So you're also most likely killing them by escorting them outside (I do this too btw, because I don't want to crush them, but I know that outside is likely not better for them).

It’s puzzling to me why there isn’t more effort on developing front end Go or Rust frameworks that compile to JS or WASM. It would be a chance to work in a real language instead of this trash.
Thanks for calling me an idiot. I make a well researched decision to not get vaccinated based on my lifestyle, risk profile, the unknown long term effects of the vaccines, the known declining efficacy of the vaccines and the way we are blindly pushing this on everyone. Calling people idiots isn't going to help the discussion.
Why aren't we expanding our ICU capacity?
One difference is that you can decide to stop wearing your seatbelt if we learn at some point that seat belts are actually more harmful than helpful.

Rather than saying if we mandate one thing, we should mandate everything, we could just evaluate each of them individually. And since that's what we actually do, and these decisions are made by different people at different times (because of elections, appointments, etc), some inconsistency seems inevitable.
So there's still 5% of spiders that can pierce your skin and inject stuff? That's not very reassuring
Inflation refers to the price of goods/services. Stocks are neither.

"Battery-powered yard care tools typically costs $100 to $250 more costly than comparable gasoline and diesel fueled equipment."

I've hesitated to buy battery powered lawn equipment because consumer reviews seem to suggest the batteries last for 4 or 5 seasons, then go bad. The batteries cost a significant fraction of what the whole system costs, so you end up buying a new lawn gadget and throwing away the entire old one (bad battery and all).

I think the law is short-sighted.
> Twisted how.

It doesn't apply. It makes the (false) claim that anti-vaxxers don't have body autonomy. They do. No one is holding them down and making them take a vaccine. You've given the choice: get the vaccine or don't. But if you don't there are some negative consequences.

This was already the case prior to Covid. For example: sending unvaccinated children to public school.
> I also think you're over-estimating how much of a "beast" you need as a minimal structure for building a game around. I have built a lot of hobby games, and if you're not trying to make an AAA game, you can get really far with a simple game loop

It’s an organization/people problem. Eventually if your tiny hobby game engine gets big enough people start trying to use it to make the equivalent of AAA games. Then either those users (or your investors if you’ve gone that route like Unity did), start pushing you to support those edge cases.

Eventually your elegant modular code is dwarfed by the all the edge case handling that got crammed into the framework—either because it was so performance critical that it had to live there or (the more likely case) because it was much faster to hamjam it in than spend time thinking about how best to architect it.
Right, was more to put it perspective actually.
>Think of chips as microservices.

This is a good analogy, but not in your favor.

This is all part of the disease of modern computing where you program against a giant machine with a giant interface and you set a few config variables and have no idea or control over how it will work and your program winds up full of unintended behavior. See: game engines, gstreamer, web frameworks, browser API, HDMI modules, terminal emulators, shells (bash, etc).

They're relatively smart in that they can quite intelligently navigate their environment to best get at prey that might otherwise kill them.

Really, all animals are relatively smart (ignoring individual differences in a species), in that they have specific skills and abilities that allow them to be most effective for their biological makeup, and purpose in their respective ecosystems.

We humans are no different in that regard ~ we are relatively smart, in that our biological makeups grant us leanings towards skills and abilities that other animals don't have.

> loathe how major packages in the ecosystem are "We're ESM now, deal with it, sorry about your luck," and forcing the issue

I wasn’t able to use the latest version of node-fetch in a node.js script since it doesn’t support commonjs. The project literally has “node” in the name and doesn’t support default node.js.
I remember in the earlier web days, boo.com tried to get fashion on the web, before people had high bandwidth and the attempt failed (and for lots of other mismanagement as well).

But now, people shop online all the time. The technology caught up to the point where people don't go to physical shops.

VR/AR builds on that to allow for a more realistic display. So that's a natural extension that will come into play.

The same changes in buying behavior affects things like direct car sales and house sales. Spinning a 3D car on a 2D screen is not the same as being able to walk around it and (figuratively) "kick the tyres" yourself.

We're at the late stages of the "early adopters", and the rate of change in technology is exponential so is increasing at an increasing rate.
How did you confirm that the 2019 infection was COVID?

I've heard repeated stories from people that had the bad cold that went around that winter and wanted it to be COVID. None of them have been like 'and I confirmed I had antibodies when the tests came out', they've had negative antibody tests or gotten COVID or still don't have any confirmation.
It’s SO cool when you have one of these experiences with a wild animal. A tiny little moment of true connection and communication. Thanks for the story.

By adjusting pay to local cost of living Google is effectively saying that they will provide their employees with the same standard of living regardless of their location. In lower cost of living areas this means an accordingly lower salary, because a Bay Area salary would otherwise afford an employee a better standard of living.

As for losing talent, Google is sufficiently established that the majority of freshly minted computer science and software engineering graduates are still desperate to work for Google if they can get in. And Google doesn't need to hire all the top talent to grow or run with the same profit margins.

I suspect software engineering salaries for new hires will start declining in nominal terms within the next decade or so, as (1) automation lowers demand for engineers on the business side (2) the labor supply keeps growing (3) non engineers in tech companies demand adjustments to their own pay to match engineers or start leaving for other companies that do, leaving less money to pay engineers (4) MBAs keep moving into management and start cutting labor costs for their most expensive individual contributors to increase profits and satisfy shareholders.

When new graduates make as much as doctors, with only a fraction of the education, while every other profession, with the exception of junior investment bankers, including technical ones and non-software engineering professions, are lucky to crack $75k, I don't see how the current job market is sustainable.
I’m sorry I’ll be bashing your content but this is, to me, the worst spam of all: the one that doesn’t add a single thing to the problem, an endless list of subject-verb-complement with phrases like “this tire is cheaper than other tires”. This is the epitome of taking people for idiots and you having the hubris to tell others that this is not spam is just wrong to me. You’re making people lose time while you rack up their eyeball’s worth of ad revenue.

See your article: https://www.car-engineer.com/general-altimax-rt43-tire-revie...

This is NOT a review, this is an alternate serp where you don’t even have the correct sources. People will read that, spend time figuring out this is just rolling them into fake words, and close the page in rage because they just lost 5 min. Nowhere in that site is there any sign of expertise, value add, or just the barest human touch. You’re alone maintaining the illusion of a professional website where in reality you don’t have a single clue of what your bot is writing.

Sorry this is harsh but I have the baffling feeling that people like you are taking over the internet and waste immense amount of time for the 99% of people who use the web for actual, hands on, research about any topic.
Until we talk seriously about nutrition and stress...

There have been articles about how our crops have drastically less nutritional value than they used to have. So your comment has me wondering if that's kind of a root cause of the pandemic itself.

I can't find the article I'm thinking of but found these:

I think their defense is that it is all automated – an algorithm decides what to show. And none of the things shown were originally posted by Google. Google is "just the platform", which Section 230 exempts from liability. Otherwise Google would be legally responsible for every defamatory post included in its search results.

It may be different when Google has been notified that there is a problem with its Knowledge Graph panel. As described in this article, they do fix those:

https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-knowledge-panel-s...

Beats me why they haven't done so in this case.
