Sorry you take that impression at first view, although I do understand it living in the world we live. This is not a dead man, I am really alive -ironic just in case :P, it is only me behind this idea, not they. If you want to know anything about how data flows, have a look, please, if you did not https://www.zoldyapp.com/legal-info#privacy. This is how it is, none in the middle, you and the machine.
Two principles I see at play here are fluency (a mapping between a desired action and the physical action of using a tool) and parsimony (building something in the simplest or cleverest way to achieve the goal). You get fluency through practice and the parsimony comes through experience, a kind of wisdom - similar but I different concepts.

With software engineering, I think when you're comfortable with the syntax and capabilities of the language you're working with, you get fluency. And then once you have experience using the standard library and some common external libs, you learn parsimony.
Unsane people, in my opinion. Please not that I wrote unsane and no insane, these have different meanings
The fundamental problem with any no-code type solution is balancing how complicated the system is. If a no-code system is too simple, then you'll need a programmer whenever you need to do something not offered by the no-code system. If it's too complicated, then you might as well just use an actual programming language.

Obviously, there are use cases for these type of systems. Many businesses only need a simple website, and there are a lot of problems out there where an off the shelf solution will suffice. However, I doubt no-code is going to make any meaningful impact on software development. The world is full of problems too complicated to solve with off the shelf solutions, and those problems will need a programmer to write some code.
You should definitely check out BrainTool (https://braintool.org)
Yeah, a dead man switch which you can't control if your battery dies or you have no reception. It's way too unreliable for serious use.
I think your example is a curious one, because obviously we want the student to know 10 * 10 by rote. Indeed, arithmetic is one area where (almost) everyone favors rote.

To be more general: if you're giving an 8th-9th grade kinematics test, there's two or three families of easy inclined plane problems, and hopefully your students have seen a few of all types. They shouldn't know the answer is "3.5 m/s", but they should be able to select a procedure they've used before and employ it.
On the subject of money - the other issue is that new hires, being certified as better than average in that role, are getting compensation packages in the top half of that band. The people getting promoted to that role are in many cases getting nothing or maybe a few thousand extra that vests in 24 months, because the stock appreciation on their N-level compensation package has lifted them into the bottom of the N+1 payband even before they were promoted.

Eat whole plant based foods. At first it's difficult, but taste for it develops and so do one's cooking abilities. Healthy eating is like playing a video game on high difficulty settings - arduous and steep learning curve, but rewarding if health is your passion.
Any chance you could share some of your findings? They'd be super helpful to some of us.
There is no such thing. There are simply different representations of 'code'.

Those who promote 'no code' solutions always seem to think that just because one does not edit with a text editor that there is no need to design the solution or to debug it.

One is still developing, just using different tools.

For some subset of problems it might indeed enable someone who is not a programmer to create a solution just as Excel enabled millions of people to do just that. Unfortunately one usually finds a little later that the solution has the shape of the tools used to create it, that because the tool could do something in a certain way that is the way that is chosen rather than choosing the tool to fit the intended solution.

You end up with people creating databases in Excel because Excel is what they had.
Fake news. SARS-CoV-2 infections were confirmed in dogs over a year ago. This case is not the first.

In fact most mammal species are susceptible to infection.
I think here in the UK the Bank of England will be harshly criticised for failing to recognise and respond to the signs of inflation soon enough. The price of petrol per litre stands at over £1.40 why have they been complacent for so long?
At these scales, that's unfortunately not what matters in comparison.

What needs to be compared is "expected negative effects from the vaccine to children" to "expected negative effects from Covid to children as well as everyone they are likely to infect".

Kids don't die from covid often, but they sure spread it all over to people who do.

More specifically, now that I've left the office (and cannot work on the train anyways because the Windows activated "Boil my laptop" once too many on my way out of the office it seems) I'd suggest that something like:

The description of what constitutes a “low inflammation” diet in publications like these often strikes me as very questionable a priori. On what basis would I expect beans, a food that is nothing remotely like what would have been consumed in my evolutionary environment, to be “anti-inflammatory”? Especially given that beans are understood to cause excess gas production, which does not suggest efficient/clean digestion. I would need pretty strong evidence (stronger than is typical for nutrition/dietary “science” papers) to accept this characterization at face value.
Just wanted to say thank you for providing actual, reasonable things to think about. As someone who is very skeptical of movements to ignore grading/etc, as are many others here, it's nice to have good counterarguments against my default view.

(That said, and agreeing with the above completely, I think many people are saying things that are far less reasonable than everything you say above.)
Do you have evidence to back up this claim? I'm aware CA puts many warning stickers on various products... but isn't it possible that profit-seeking corporations are, in fact, using cancer-causing materials simply because they're cheaper?
Actually just bought a 2022 Subaru Impreza Hatch with a 5speed, and it's been a blast to drive. No cameras or spying on drivers with the manual model. It still has a radio and cd player separate from the a/c and climate controls.

It definitely makes generic exploits harder. Without RELRO it's easy to leak libc once you find an overflow. You can also easily take control via overwriting the GOT pointers. Unsure what you mean by any in the binary - with PIE you can't do much even if you know a fixed offset, unless you can leak the binary location. Although if you can read/write into the stack you can usually find something useful regardless of RELRO/etc.

One of my favorite examples of bypassing relro is the sudo exploit that took advantage of a simple format string vulnerability. It was downplayed at the time by the sudo maintainer as not easy to exploit due to FORTIFY. But you could get full root just doing a very simple payload, because sudo already calls system(/bin/sh) and FORTIFY itself was easily exploitable. [1][2]

This was one of the more entertaining parts of the trial. The defense stated that "AI and logarithms" (algorithms) were used to enhance the image when zoomed in, and the prosecution claimed that it was no different from a magnifying glass.

Both are right in some way. I think the defense raised a good point that while interpolation algorithms are everywhere, people don't generally understand that by definition these introduce new information not present in the original. It's a general problem with technology, but isn't brought up often in court. On the other hand, I think the prosecution's magnifying glass analogy was apt, but for the wrong reasons; it's an older form of upscaling technology that introduces its own distortions, but is accepted as accurate. It is kind of ironic that the format of the video and whatever transcoding has been performed wasn't delved into.
If kids were at risk for covid I'd be willing to accept a 9x more risk of a still-rare condition
Saying Musk is a fraud is very much "trendy" these days, but I feel like it ties in a much wider social transformation where for some reason we can't separate the artist from the art.

Reading his biography he does come off as an asshole, people can dislike him all they want (and we probably shouldn't idealize billionaires), but for some reason that's not enough anymore, he has to be stripped of all his accomplishment, "he's not a real Tesla founder", "he stole the SpaceX idea from someone else", "his father had an emerald mine", "he had a negative impact on PayPal", etc...

It seems like some saw too many Hollywood movies where the good is virtuous and morally perfect, and the bad can only advance forward through deceit and unfair advantages. These stories are entertaining, but ultimately they fail to do justice to people that are as layered and complex as we all are.

No, you didn't read the comment fully, or you only disagree with part of it. Because, you clearly missed this part:

> I still advocate for cleaning up and squashing your own commits as you see fit with an interactive rebase before your branch is merged.

If you do that, you don't end up with 'small, poorly named commits'. Or if you do, you have a lazy programmer / an idiot programmer in the team.

Which certainly happens, but, they ruin everything. You can't start shooting down processes, languages, tools, or anything else in the programmer space __just__ because some moron who abuses it ends up in a bad place. You need to show that a tool / feature / process / hook / etc turns otherwise fine, capable programmers into idiots in order to advocate for its abolishment. Not the other way around, or you end up with a blunt rock and a club and are then debating that they're holding the club at the wrong end.
I'm left handed and track-pads have never agreed with me.

Other people on this site have recommended the MNT Reform to me: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform

It seems like a different flavor of an open source laptop that people who want a better keyboard and has the option of a trackball (!!!) instead of the trackpad.

I think the MNT is going to be my next laptop, but the Frame.work is pretty cool.
I saw the article, but closed it when it started talking about something called “NFTweets”.

As far as I can tell, the lesson is, “I might die, so I should work on NFTweets, which has some shot at giving me financial independence before I die, so I can spend more time on my true passion, which is watching Marvel movies and drinking craft beer.”

I made the last part up… apologies for the cynicism, I just observe that the kind of people who fill up their time with hustle to make money often don’t know what to do with their time once they’ve made enough money to be independent. Retirement takes some people by surprise. No judgment for how people want to live their lives, but if you plan on spending your retirement not working, you should probably get some preview of that beforehand so you know what you like.

A lot of people want to spend more time with others after they retire. It turns out that if you spend all your time at work, and you retire, you don’t have a lot of other people in your social network to spend time with. Hence, Marvel movies and craft beer.
Local prosecutors can start charging people for attempted homicide with a deadly weapon. If locals don't want drunks on the roads, local juries will convict.
That's barely broken in: I expect cars to be perfectly usable for many decades, if properly maintained. I do NOT want techo-obsolescence in a few years!

My personal goal is to never again own a car with a screen (especially a touchscreen), or with any kind of radio transmitter/transceiver to track and report anything back to the mfr. (And I'm an IoT guy!)
But in that case they should also say "as a young person you need to get this vaccine mostly to protect others". Which is exactly what JCVI said:

> It was basically a very mild flu.

Well, yeah, you're vaccinated.

We've known since the original EUA submission data for the Pfizer vaccine that they're highly effective at preventing severe disease.

It's a little odd to go "welp, vaccine didn't work" when it probably did.
> Take PGs four quadrants of conformity. Why stop at 4? Did he run out of numbers? There are billions of people on the planet; why not an essay that suggests then a billion quadrants of conformity?

At one level: because the root word of quadrant means four/one-fourth, so once he got to 4, he did run out of numbers [of quadrants].

He probably picked to use quadrants in large part because categorizing people’s broad behavioral tendencies into a billion groups isn’t that helpful of a mental model simplification. “People in group 24,825,726; those are the tattletales who like Brussel Sprouts, are left-handed, allergic to oak pollen, love dogs, hate cats, taste quinine, can roll their tongue, are AB+, and prefer sleeping in cool rooms.” How does that make for a readable essay?

> Just to explain my point: if a student has worse skills, whatever their reason is, they should have lower grades. That's what a grade is for.

This, I absolutely agree with. Last year I implemented a standards-based system. If you could prove to me you knew the material, you got the points. If you learned it later and proved to me you knew it then, your grade changed.

I did do homework grades (I was required to have one grade a week, and there's no way I could do enough continuous assessment), but it was solely participation and as long as you turned it in and tried (.i. didn't cheat), you got full credit.

Generally, I completely agree you don't want to penalize them for arbitrary reasons; to me, that includes homework. I had to do it, but as long as it was turned in eventually, and honestly attempted, they got full credit (it was like 10% the overall grade). To me, that's how it should be done.

Basically, I completely agree and didn't mean to seem as if I was disagreeing with you!

Lehman was allowed to go bankrupt, which in the UK forced the immediate cessation of operations (in the U.S., the firm can still operate even if its bankrupt). That was the equivalent of shifting to park on a car moving 80 miles an hour, especially as they froze their prime brokerage.

Is that the movement to store all your data as an amorphous pile of crap, and then provide easy-to-use search tools to actually find the content you're looking for?

On one hand, I really like the search tools that come from this. But I still like to actually organize my data, so I can browse it if I want to. Also, these search tools seem to only work well enough on macOS and fall flat on their face in Windows. (and no idea where Linux falls on this)
Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here.

Edit: when I replied, the entire text of your comment was:

I appreciate that you expanded it, but please don't do stealth edits that deprive existing replies of their context. That's not fair to other users—not the replier (whose comment's meaning is now lost) nor the readers (who can no longer understand the thread properly). The simple fix is to mark your edit as an edit, like I did here.

I changed my username to not contain a space because it was too annoying to deal with all the random dev tools breaking.

Human hypocrisy is fueling American inequality.

Less triggers in that statement.

Too many people are hooked on addressing everything like it's a football game.

The statement "Black lives matter" is a statement by nature to me, not supposed to be an organization that changes the meaning and message of the statement. The money machine bends truths to serve it's profit. If we all begin to take a step back from partisan politics and stop listening to the profiteers that stoke controversy, we all think on a much more rational and reasonable level. That often includes ignoring sensationalized content, and making sure we each also don't contribute to creating, stoking, and funding it.

I was really shocked and mortified to find out that the Lincoln Project reportedly confessed to hiring people to stage the tiki torch march in Charlottsville VA (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/oct/30/lincoln-proj...)... And also why it got very little publicity. That's the state we get to when a very sick climate of profit under socio-economic and race-based politics is fed.
Thanks for pointing this out.

I actually considered this with the understanding that any dust clouds would be localized and persistent due to the lower gravity on the moon. The finest fraction of moon dust will remain suspended longer than here on earth and the absence of wind will localize the effects. This suspended dust will over time, blur our view from earth of the areas being actively exploited for minerals, oxygen, etc.

I don't see the practicality of conducting mining operations under a dome to localize and control dust so the machinery being employed will be outside any containment and when you do this on a massive scale to potentially support interplanetary travel you will raise a cloud of dust that will take a long time to settle.

I am opposed to this. Since we are two different people with different life's experiences, you don't have to be.

Thanks for adding to the discussion.
My hot take: No Code, from a non dev perspective, is just a really user hostile config interface.
Great news for everyone using Svelte - a good move by Vercel and wish Rich gets more resources and freedom to continue the refinement of Svelte.
Back in the day there were dozens of character sets that were alternatives to US-ASCII. Having once worked on an Email client, I needed to bake in a bunch of translation tables to convert stuff sent that way into UTF-8.

People don't seem to change their behaviour due to those warnings. Nobody's going into a coffee shop, seeing that warning sticker and thinking 'ah whoops better get out of here' are they? The warning 'cancer-causing' has no effect.
I would suggest removing plant-based foods to whatever degree possible. Eliminate wheat, soy, nightshades, and other likely irritants/allergens.

My social group tends more towards heterodox dietary choices than most groups, so I have a lot of friends on “extremist” diets. It is quite apparent that the expected outcome of people who only eat meat is significantly better than the people who never eat meat. Both are likely better off than most people consuming the standard American diet, but this might just be due to increased focus on health in general rather than any specific benefit of the diet.

I still don't understand how people don't get it. I don't think is worth the risk for old people either (it's my opinion guys, please don't bury me). But for children? They suffer way more with influenza and they don't get shots... don't you really understand that? Covid has Flu like symptoms, but at the beggining and maybe still, many covid patients were dying from something else but gave positive in a PCR... C'mon.. we can do better

Badass. I love it.
I mean, what is programming? It’s describing the rules of a system and all edge cases. For some stuff it makes sense to combine rule descriptions into Lego blocks. At some point, the Lego blocks become too big to be useful and you need fine-grained control over the rules you want to implement.

If you can combine big Lego blocks into something useful, that sounds great.

If you need more fine-grained control, you need smaller blocks.

And that is the spectrum from assembly to higher level languages to platforms to libraries to frameworks to low-code tools to no-code tools. Pick what works for your use-case.
