Why? The only reasons I can think of are:

* They can be non-deterministic (do a different thing each time you run them).

* They can be non-hermetic (access stuff in the environment you don't know about).

* They can do naughty security things.

* You can't present GUIs of them because they aren't declarative.

All but the last one don't exclude programming languages. Here's an interesting project to make hermetic deterministic Javascript (Typescript support is planned):

https://github.com/jkcfg/jk

For the sorts of places where you don't have a GUI for the settings anyway (which is the common case) I think it makes loads of sense. It beats making the kind of declarative programming languages you see in YAML files.
Nice idea. I'm thinking of offering to complete a take-home project or go through some of my open-source work line-by-line

BUT, i have no idea if they're willing to agree or would just drop me after that altogether

That's really clever. How long did this process usually take, what size crystals were you going for? And were these crystals ever visually interesting, or do most organic compounds just form colorless little prisms or cubes?
That's what the public demands, so that's what news companies cater for in order to make a profit and stay in business.

Few journalists like covering that sort of stuff, a whole bunch dreamed of being investigative journalists breaking corruption and other public interest stories. But there simply aren't enough people reading those stories to maintain nearly enough staff for them.

Scott Alexander can also do what he does because he's not required to be totally accurate. It's opinion, backed by experience and training, but still opinion. He's also not writing to a deadline, except one he sets himself.

Real journalism is a lot harder than informed commentary.

I can see that becoming a serious moral hazard. If a judge or juror can make money on a lawsuit that they're deciding reaching a particular verdict, then there's a very real danger that they will do so.

So $VLOP is compelled to accept QWAC user-certificates, if one user requests it? And QWAC user-certificates are issued by TSPs whose CA cert must appear in the root-store unconditionally?

That means there is nothing preventing $TSP from forging my certificate, and giving it to criminals/government-agents, and nothing to keep the TSP in line, because the single audit constraint is "Keep the Minister satisfied".

I personally don't have a problem with the idea of replacing passwords with user-certs, provided I get to generate my own cert with my own private key. But the evidence is that general users can't learn how to use certificates.

I hate passwords, but I'd rather use passwords than a user-cert issued by an unreliable CA.
Cheese and yogurt are not meat, though? I agree vegan cheese is terrible, and the faux-meat products aren't an exact replica, but they aren't bad.

There's definitely less of a push for a general adoption of vegan cheese than there is for meat alternatives.

Disk Notifier - No downtime with dead simple disk space monitoring

Disk Notifier prevents costly downtime. It provides busy developers with dead simple disk space alerting.

When a disk on a server fills up the result is an unreachable server. That costs money, time, and reputation. There are many monitoring solutions, all of which require new software and don't always warn the user. Disk Notifier requires no software installation and sends alerts. It is easier, safer, and quicker.

Interesting. Before they made red light cameras illegal in my city they required two photos to prove that you are in violation:

- one that shows your car before crossing the stop line when the light is red

- second showing your car after crossing the stop line within same light cycle (i.e. seconds from previous photo)

No need to do the math if you entered the intersection before the light turned red

I don't think most companies are maliciously breaking unsubscribe buttons, but there are a lot of websites that don't work on some browsers, are badly maintained to the point of being unusable, are confusing, or simply don't work because the people that maintain them aren't professional web designers.

When your website is broken and you continue to charge me money, I don't think the onus on me to report the broken website, help your (maybe non-existent) IT division to find the bug, wait around for them to come up with a fix, and then help them beta test it. I should be able to file a ticket and say "I don't want your services please stop taking my money".

The problem is that on the sheer scale of Apple's worldwide repair needs (if every big repair was sent to a US location), they'd need to have tens of thousands of highly-paid technicians who are good at soldering, and make very few mistakes (also, add the cost of new machines for every failed repair). Apple's already struggling with "lego-block repairs" (take out bad motherboard, put new one in), there's no way they could do this at scale.

Effects of Excessive Screen Time on Neurodevelopment, Learning, Memory, Mental Health, and Neurodegeneration: a Scoping Review
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11469-019-00182-2
Evidence suggests that chronic sensory stimulation via excessive exposure to screen time may affect brain development in negative ways. Excessive smartphone use may increase the risk of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional disorders in adolescents and young adults that also has the potential to increase the risk of early onset dementia in late adulthood.

https://healthmatters.nyp.org/what-does-too-much-screen-time...
Early data from a landmark National Institutes of Health (NIH) study that began in 2018 indicates that children who spent more than two hours a day on screen-time activities scored lower on language and thinking tests, and some children with more than seven hours a day of screen time experienced thinning of the brain’s cortex, the area of the brain related to critical thinking and reasoning.

Sure, they won't call it 'brain damage' - just reduced cognitive reasoning and critical thinking.
Maybe look at using Android for the desktop. Example Android-x86 (https://www.android-x86.org/) and others. The thing is, many people are already using Android for their smartphone. The jump to laptop or desktop is arguably smaller than many make it out to be.
> there is something slightly taboo about coordination between workgroups in the same dispatch. Many GPU experts I’ve talked with express skepticism that this can work at all. Even so, interest in this type of pattern is picking up, in part because of advanced rendering engines like Nanite, which also uses atomics to coordinate work between workgroups in a live-running dispatch.

I live only in CUDA land, I’m a bit ignorant of the other platforms, so I’m not sure what granularity of workgroups is here. Generally speaking you can’t rely on individual threads executing in any particular order, no matter how many there are, so yes you can’t have one thread look at data from another thread without some kind of synchronization. It took me longer than it should have to really grok this and to believe it deeply, initially I kept wanting to think that thread number 235 million could read from thread 0 safely without synchronizing because surely enough time has passed. Nope, threads can and do come in any order, it’s never safe to assume another thread has finished.

Using atomics to solve this is rarely a good idea, atomics will make things go slowly, and there is often a way to restructure the problem so that you can let threads read data from a previous dispatch, and break your pipeline into more dispatches if necessary.

CUDA at least has a few other ways to share data during a single dispatch (or “launch”) besides atomics. Threads in warps can talk to each other, threads in blocks can share memory. But this all takes careful design and various other synchronization primitives.

> That is sadly not the case for GPU compute code. The most common scenario is dependency on a large, vendor-dependent toolkit such as CUDA (that installer is a 2.4GB download). If you have the right hardware, and the runtime installed properly, then your code can run.

While GPU coding is indeed more onerous than CPU programming in general, I feel like this wasn’t necessarily a fair point - this is the CUDA SDK download being compared to the CPU runtime. Installing the Rust compiler & cargo wasn’t mentioned as a downside, for example. CPU code also requires the right hardware and to have the runtime installed properly, it’s just something most people already have setup. Similarly, compiled CUDA code will run just fine without the SDK, and most people attempting to run a compiled CUDA program will have a compatible driver installed already. For the average compiled app, the run-time is no trickier than CPU, and the CPU has more or less the same kinds of requirements.
It's tiresome refuting misinformation like this point by point, so I'll just pick the one I have deep knowledge of:

> Microsoft successfully suppressed Java for long enough for Sun to die.

Tell me, how did Microsoft "suppress" Java? The main contention of Sun's lawsuit is that Microsoft was harming Java by adding features (most notably, delegate - ie closures). That almost nobody used. I know, I used them. There's no meaningful interpretation of the word "suppress" that applies here.

Furthermore, Java was always a cost center for Sun. There is no alternate history where Java somehow saved Sun. They made their money from selling hardware that eventually nobody bought.

Set aside your blind hate and learn from people that actually worked with these technologies in that era.
> Almost as if they've seen a shortcoming

A shortcoming for _their_ goals. Their goals are at odds with what is best for us. It is a good thing the micro-b MoU did not have any teeth.
As others have commented, the brand moat is a challenge. My company built our own signing app (with an API!) [1] because high volumes of envelopes with DocuSign / HelloSign are exorbitant (you have to "talk to sales" if you have needs more than a few hundred per month).

We recently pivoted to the digital waiver space because signing waivers for experiences doesn't necessitate the same brand recognition. And lots of experience sites need an API that isn't way marked up.

> Imagine if they had done this a few years ago, and the micro-B connector was mandated. We would never have gotten usb-C.

But they didn't. These people aren't that dumb, they told companies to settle on a standard, and now that we have a good standard that basically everyone follows they want to make a law to ensure everybody follows it. Bringing up a scenario where they did the right thing and argue "just imagine if they didn't do the right thing here, that would be a problem!" isn't a strong argument.
I want to like Idris - as a language it does so much right - but I still feel a little burnt. A few years ago were exciting times; Idris 1 had hit 1.0 and was humming along nicely, there was excellent tooling available, & Type-Driven Development with Idris had been published - a real printed book about practical coding with dependent types! Could reliable software be far behind? Would I maybe get to develop somewhere that took software engineering seriously in my lifetime?

And then, with the possibility of success on the horizon, the Idris folk(s) got distracted by the QTT hype and decided to abandon ship so they could start on Idris 2. And, like, don't get me wrong - the QTT stuff is cool, and I'm a Rust fan in part because getting to encode linearity in your types is a real superpower - but it's so depressing that the world of practical dependent types feels just as far away now as it did ten years ago, after getting so excited about it five years ago. And it underscores what might be a bigger problem: at the end of the day - and by the Idris FAQ's own admission - Idris is a research project into practical dependent types, and Edwin Brady is an academic. Which means that when he gets interested in some other area of research, he's free to just...do that instead, or start over on Idris n+1, and leave Idris 1, 2, 3 ... n to wither.
"lawyers will claim the third-party website is bogus"

Docusign is bogus too.

Either you buy a real eIDAS-compliant certificate and sign things cryptographically, or you are faking it, broadly equivalent to "tick here to accept the agreement".

The only thing Docusign "proves" is that someone with access to your email signed the agreement.
Likely the most parts will be extremely limited, i.e. to battery and screen for the phones - which is what their current program is.

AMD cut back to survive. There were bankruptcy concerns in 2014.

Intel cut back for no reason. So it was more of a strategic mistake. Intel was making so much money with Sandy Lake (and other i7 processors: 2nd generation through 6th generation were a one-sided domination of the market).
