It's possible, but I'm skeptical, because the hard part of coding isn't "typing words into a text editor/IDE." It's thinking algorithmically in enough detail, with edge cases, fallbacks, error handling, etc, that most people struggle with.

Squarespace is actually a good example; someone still has to write all the nifty widgets and figure out how they'll work together for a pleasing experience. If putting an attractive visual layer on top of code was all it took, then Smalltalk would have won decades ago and everyone would program.

The main barrier to "no code" and "everyone can program" is still the mode of thought, not the mode of representation.

This has parallels in artificial intelligence, where as soon as a problem is solvable by a computer, solving the problem no longer counts as "AI" (chess, natural language processing, even sentiment analysis!). Similarly, as soon as a problem is made easy and accessible to non-algorithmic thinks, programmer move on to the next thing that requires that mode of thought. Maybe we'll exhaust the problem space of potential programs someday, but I don't see any evidence for it.

There is also an abundance of He3 in the upper crust of the moon. You could centrifuge that out and use it to fuel a D-He3 fusion reactor (assuming you could make such a reactor work terrestrially, ship millions of tons, and assemble such a facility on the moon).

D-He3 is the lowest temperature aneutronic fusion reaction. Not all fast neutron hardening problems go away because a small cross section of reactions will be D-D even at the higher temperature (and potentially short bursts of higher fast neutron flux if temperature control is inadequate and low). However, most of the energy comes out as fast charged particles, which is open to direct conversion. Ditching the steam cycle is a big deal in terms of plant size and weight.
There was some evidence in 2020 that there may be more carbon than we thought on the moon [1]. I don't know if there have been further developments on this.

Dig up the old news stories from a few years ago about hedge funds buying cellphone data from phone apps, to make bets on oil prices (based on where technicians were driving/flying to). This type of surveillance is going to get more common, and Microsoft is likely going to want such a revenue stream eventually.
Any modern x86 core should have been able to get the same result.

I would expect the loop to be unrolled 3, 7 or 21 times to remove all conditionals. Then the math can be dispatched at one operation per cycle for each stream.

There must have been something in the compiled assembly that broke the optimisation.
To play the devil's advocate here - I do the same as you, but last month when I booked a 3 week vacation Booking offered better prices than the hotels themselves.
They also didn't pull any stunts like other hotel aggregators do (show you a price and change it when you get to the checkout).
I also had a single instance in the past where I wanted to prolong my stay at a hotel, and the hotel clerk told me I'd get a better deal if I booked through Booking, which I did.

Generally I think you're right, but I guess it depends.

My experience is that in many scenarios, comments were an attempt to create sticky relationships when the comments themselves add very little.

Take a news site, an article about, say, Trump becomming President. Comments are likely to range from "I can't satnd the guy" though to "I'm so happy he got in". They aren't going to add much of any value to the conversation.

I am seeing more attempts now of people attempting to be "clever" in their comments and start dropping 'facts' taken from various places. Again, interesting at best but at worst it doesn't add anything.

Votes are perhaps less contentious but what are they really saying? I like the article because it is factually correct or I dislike the article because Trump is President?
Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. I knew some of these facts, but I'm surprised all of it has such a lasting effect.

My point was that even if one deems Pascal an inferior language, they can't deny it has a complete set of control structures so experience of programming in Pascal is transferable to other languages.
> GitLab not having an easy way to say "i want this commit gone"

To be fair to GitLab, that would just be another way to say "force push".

Either you want the change gone from history, which makes it necessary to coordinate with everyone who has taken out a branch during that time (which is a force push) or you want the merge-and-backout to be visible in eternity (which is a revert commit). There's no way to have both, by definition.

The way to avoid screwups, in any version control system, is to have everyone actually read what they are about to persist to our shared history.

The by far most popular process to enforce that is code review. Any pull request which pulls in hundreds of unrelated commits hopefully won't get accepted. And if it does, there'll be plenty of time to evaluate why while coordinating the cleanup.
Except they also add tons of overhead which also makes everything go slower, including that meeting to discuss why we go so slow.
It’s not necessarily about PR. Being nice is good business. The problem is being nice is good in the long term while being a greedy bastard generally pays more immediate dividends.
The issue was much more subtle and hilarious :)

In the whole digital world authors habe IP rights for digital content and have (sometimes) ability to enforce them (e.g. DMCA). Copying images without permission doesn't run afoul of IP rights but later using them commercially - does. But that is not what is interesting here.

Person we are discussing is promoting NFT as a technology to sell stuff, implying that it is also possible to transfer IP rights via NFTs (which is complete lie). Next he is social engineered (swindled) of 3 pictures which he voluntarily transfers via NFT blockchain to the scammer. And THEN he proceeds to claim that he is still the original owner (indeed he is, because no IP rights were transferred via NFT same because it is impossible), thereby completely devaluing the NFT tech he is promoting :) .
I once received a 96kbps copy of a very old studio album that became one of my favorite albums ever. I listened to the 96kbps version countless times. It sounded dark and otherwise colored in a way that I felt added to the vibe of the album.

I was travelling and didn't have the album on me, but I wanted to show it to a friend. I downloaded a 256 or 384kbps version, and much to my surprise, I didn't like the way it sounded at a higher bit rate at all! The added clarity made some instruments stand out a bit more than others, and I found it distracting and too lively.

The delta in quality between 384kbps and FLAC (to my concern-worn ears) is narrow enough that I can't really tell a major difference.
That's true in the sense that if you don't want to prevent people from getting influenza you don't have to give them a vaccine.

Otherwise, even if natural immunity to influenza lasts for a lifetime, most people don't get influenza very often (however people often confuse colds and influenza and don't realize this), so merely having a large existing number of strains would make it incredibly difficult to get natural immunity to all of them even if it wasn't continuing to mutate.

If you don't want people to be able to get influenza 10 times in their lifetime you would still have to give flu shots, and since their effectiveness decreases rapidly you would have to do this every year.

And that's assuming that natural immunity really lasts longer than flu shots.

Anyway that whole point is somewhat irrelevant to your original point that I was responding to that no other vaccines require boosters but it is clear based on your response that you are essentially engaging in circular reasoning (you don't think that boosters are required because no other vaccines require boosters, therefore flu vaccines are not boosters, therefore no other vaccines require boosters).
not quite sure how you are arriving at that conclusion?

Risk free assets don’t exist. So by definition, they are always in short (0) supply.

The shares didn't cost 10c, whatever costs 150$ would´ve cost 10c in 1980 split-adjusted.

So if you bought 1 share for 10$ in 1980 (as an example), today you would have 100 shares at 150$.

I invite you to go find the actual prices of the stock back then, and track down all the stock splits. But it´s not helpful for the point that "aapl" appreciated in value about 1500-fold over the last 40 years.

Not sure this holds up. I'm extremely familiar with subsaharan Africa. Whether a tribe is patriarchal, egalitarian, or matriarchal in nature, you tend to observe the females "embracing softness".

I don't have an answer as to why that is, but the "scarcity" theory is consistent with my observations. The "social organization" theory is not. That's not to say that "scarcity" theory is correct, only that it isn't contradicted by observation in the same way that "social organization" theory is.
Wow, tell me how you really feel :).

It's not a "supposed reputation" though. Nature is listed as a world-leading journal (class 2) by the internationally widely acknowledged research register "Norwegian Register". The double blind reviews aren't performed by Nature, but by peer scientists. And it isn't gate-keeping. You have every opportunity to publish your stuff in another journal or simply on the internet if you want to. A lot of scientists do the latter before trying to get it into prominent journal. Even in the case of a rejection, the feed-back you get from reviewers is often of very high quality, as in really helping you make your article better, as most journals give the review jobs to experienced scientists in your field.

In other words, a world leading journal generally contributes greatly to what you say in your last paragraph.

That said, I agree with most of your statements in the third paragraph (publish and perish etc.). It's not like I'm claiming that the current system is fine without side-effects, fake-journals etc.. I just don't think there is cause for the kind of suspicions voiced in the thread, in relation to Nature or the OP article.

There are also technical reasons to separate commits. Moving files is best done in a separate commit, otherwise --follow might not work as you might expect. Squashing that together with changes might very well break that logic.

Always rebase before pushing for review, just don't squash everything. One would hope that much would be self evident.
Veterans and Social Equity – Phillip Smith and Jenny Roseman
On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt, Montel talks with the Co-founders of Freshly Baked, Phillip Smith & Jenny Roseman. Phillip and Jenny are both disabled veterans suffering from service-related PTSD. Cannabis has been a lifesaver for them both in managing their PTSD, which in turn prompted them to focus their careers on sharing that gift with others whom it might help. They were awarded cannabis licenses in Massachusetts as part of the state's inaugural social equity program and were also the first company awarded a license for home delivery service in MA.
This isn't 'degrading education'. It's recognizing that education as we currently have it is biased towards those who have strong socioeconomic situations and stable backgrounds at home.

...unless you're doing a long-march-through-the-institutions, subversion-from-within thing, which, good luck against the CIA...

How can we be sure this hasn't happened already? Could anyone imagine a less effective, more hated organization? Could CIA provide poorer intelligence to the executive if they were actually trying to provide poor intelligence? Could their actions reflect more poorly on USA if they were actually trying to tarnish our reputation?

[EDIT:] Perhaps this just proves your point. Continued existence of something like CIA in a putatively democratic society is a mystery. Perhaps they practice a sort of continuous self-disruption, defending themselves from the attentions of better people by always getting worse?

> Teach children even if their parents don't care and don't challenge them to learn.

I saw the kids I taught five hours a week. Their families see them much more (hopefully, though often not because mom's single and working two/three jobs to keep Alice and her younger brother fed and clothed). Who do you think is going to win the influence battle? And, really, when Alice has to go work to help support the family, how much do you think she really cares about homework or school? I'd go so far as to wager that most educational problems in the State stem from socioeconomic ones.

School cannot overcome parents at home, sadly.

Then I am pessimistic if this can be fixed at all.

For example, an absent father tends to put a lot of stress on households, which can only to a limited extent be alleviated by extra money. I know, I grew up without father.

But no one can really provide new fathers to kids from fatherless families and the culture that frowned upon guys leaving their kids is long dead.
Grades are good for 2 reasons.

1. Y is worse than X. If you give both of them a math task ("how should I launch this rocket so that it lands safely"), then X is more likely to get it right. The reason why is irrelevant; results are relevant.

2. In contrast to what people like you usually think, performance and context are two different variables. If you measure performance objectively, that gives you a chance to influence context and see which interventions make sense! Maybe giving poor kids' families money doesn't help as much as sending the kids to boarding schools, or enrolling them in extracurricular activities. How could you know? By measuring it! Bottom line, objective measurements are THE BEST way of achieving positive social change (assuming it's your goal... it is mine).
Haha, nice catch :)

I don't know anything about the situation there, but it might still make sense to group it if it's in the same "linguistic area" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprachbund ). E.g. the Apertium translator from Northern Saami to Norwegian is very useful since both languages – though from very different families – are spoken in the same country and speakers have had millennia of contact, so there's more translated text available than you'd otherwise expect from such different languages and there's need for more translations.

It's also considered prudent to keep to a common format. These are even written in differing tense, where imperative is by far the most commonly preferred.
This is so wrong I don't know where to start. I'll just say 2 things:

a) your charts are a classical example of "try hard enough and you will find 2 charts that correlate"

b) Inflation affects the poor because they don't, and sometimes can't, hold assets that traditionally protects the rich from inflation, such as real hard assets (such as real estate) and a sizeable chunk of stocks (some types) and bonds (TIPS and short duration). The poor lives paycheck to paycheck and see their income staying the same while everything else around them is increasing in price.
