I am pretty sure Jetbrains cares their product works well for a lot of people and they know better than you which JVM is better for their product.

It is not like it restricts what you can build with it.

We may not know their exact decision process but it is incredibly ignorant to assume they are just doing this out of laziness or incompetence.
You should check golang, it’s much more safe than C and has very few ways of doing the same thing. It makes every codebase look like simple code. It’s always a pleasure to read or refactor. That’s the only language that managed to do that imo.
The context was parsing, not semantics. "Typeless" meant "lacking type annotations", not directly to do with static/dynamic or weak/strong typing.

(Though Python does have optional type annotations these days.)
genuinely thought the last line in this was going to be and then I found a wasps nest in the room next door!

So some exchanges use TOTP 2FA (which is more secure than SMS). And some people like to copy their 2FA 'seed' which is usually a QR code that they store somewhere securely. Amazing how a simple QR code (or even a recovery code) can be worth so much.
I understand the sentiment but there are so many situations where this is not true.

All it takes is a good enough sales and marketing team, or the right executive relationships, especially if the team being “supported” is small.

You can say the company or division is presently functioning, but the time constant on the product is different, and the coupling is too loose to say anything else with accuracy.

I’ll bite.

Take a multimedia corpus, arrange the material for delivery via Spaced Repetition Learning (SRS) coupled with an active reinforcement learning system to gradually introduce and deepen understanding of topics that expand the learner’s challenge boundary.

Instead of teachers and fixed class sizes, allow students to self select into rooms based on noise level. Include a range of furniture from desks to couches. Any adults are only present to monitor for fighting or harassment and need no special training — they are certainly not to be responsible for lecturing or grading. Leave that to the machines. Perhaps direct students that have mastered material help students that have not.

Naturally and smoothly steer learners into vocational or academic studies based on their performance without social discontinuities like the German method.

One challenge with this approach would be how to organize appraisals of essays or long-form written content. Peer review might be one answer. There are, no doubt, many other challenges and criticisms. This scheme would dramatically upend the economics of education and make a large number of positions redundant.
> Like, they buy internet-connected LOCKS for their doors! Seriously, why would you do this?

I have no interest in internet connected locks, but I really enjoy the convenience of my ZWave locks (which are technically "internet" connected via my Home Assistant instance, but that's only accessible either via my LAN or via Wireguard).
If google required that third-party email clients showed their ads, would you also use the word merely?

Website owners merely requiring that browsers show their ads?
Technology is not always the solution. If your employer asks you to affirm something, and you do that, and then cheat (because, let's say, cheating is technologically trivial), then you take a huge risk. A lot of people will not take that risk. It's enough to make example of 1 or 2 people who are caught, and the rest will fall in line in no time.
>> Protectionism makes everyone worse off.

Yeah I mean look at how China has grown the last 25 years with their fully open markets. </sarcasm>

Every approach has pluses and minuses. Putting your own first is common and healthy. The US has been failing to do this for some time now, and the economy is pinned in a corner with no easy way out.
I studied video production in college. For one project, I did a documentary on a non-profit that was working in a high-crime area. We drove down the street with a video camera pointed out the window * As we drove by a house with some young men on the porch, one of them saw the camera and yelled angrily, "Yo, what the fuck!" and started chasing us. After that experience, I've never been able to point my camera at someone without getting their verbal consent first. I worked for awhile as a photographer/videographer for a school, and struggled to get good footage of students because of that.

* (With the documentary, we hadn't intended to record and people without consent, and when we finally published it, we had signed consent forms for everyone who appeared in it.)
Yes, and they also use Oracle, DB2 and Others that are proprietary.

Open source DB's are great, but scaling them easily is not something the Enterprise world has time for, time is money.

I think Postgres and MySQL have come a long way.
>>I thought aviation is THE industry that runs on procedures and checklists you need to tick before and after each flight to make sure the even if you're a complete klutz, nothing like this can ever happen. Did that go out the window?

Just a day back they dropped a $10 billion(20 years in development) origami transformer-like robot telescope(jwst) on the floor because some one forgot to secure a clamp well enough to hold the piece in place.

So I'm guessing regardless of whatever people say about six sigmas, checklists and procedures, human errors just continue to happen regardless.
> Why haven't governments been working hard at increasing capacity in terms of ventilators and hospital beds and other needed equipment, since March 2020? Back then governments actually did that, and set up emergency beds.

Many of them have. In general, equipment isn't the problem today in rich countries; it's staffing.

> I don't know what is practically needed from the personnel to nurse <60 year old Covid patients (couldn't less trained staff, 6 month quick course do the bulk of it?)

If they're in ICU (which is the main concern), multiple specially trained nurses per bed, plus various doctors and other support staff.

I'm not quite following the distinction you're making here between young and old; the main relevant distinction is ICU (mostly either unvaccinated or immunocompromised) or non-ICU (most vaccinated patients of all ages who require hospitalization land here; also lots of unvaccinated). Many countries are seeing fall-offs in the numbers of elderly people in ICU as the boosters go down the list, but ICU numbers are still growing.
There are also versions of this technology that use tin instead of lead.
That's a problem for sure, but it's not the problem here. The problem here is cryptocurrency trustees implementing snake oil "2FA" using the PSTN, which was never intended to provide the needed security properties.
What does "255" mean? If you just take it to mean "max saturation that your display can output" then it's going to be perceived as a different color depending on the viewer's display. That is undesirable. And due to historical reasons (the capabilities of CRT monitors) the meaning of "max saturation" was de facto standardized to what we now call sRGB. If you want to encode a greater range of colors than sRGB then you need to be able to say that hey, this "255" is more saturated than what sRGB considers "255" and should not be displayed on sRGB without conversion.
In the US it’s pretty well established that art is exempt from privacy laws. It gets muddy[1]when you try to use it commercially: so you can sell a photograph as art, but you can’t use it without consent or permission if the art is for commercial purposes (to advertise, for example).

A well known case is a Hasidic Jew suing photographer DiCorcia. New York State sided with the photographer: http://www.artistrights.info/nussenzweig-v-dicorcia

[1]Whats the rule if you have an exhibit and the gallery or whatever wants to advertise they have an exhibit by the artist. Can they put up big banners with the art? Is that commercial use?
Well, jdk17 was released just few months ago so I doubt anyone has real experience with it for gamedev. But considering that game heaps are relatively small (as in <100G) and modern Java GCs can manage consistent <1ms pause times, I'd imagine Java is more viable for gamedev from that point of view. I'd also emphasize that there is large spectrum of performance requirements for games and you can make quite a lot these days with relatively poor performance characteristics, and on the other hand in the top end Java probably is still not good enough.
While "overengineering" is usually defined as making things too complex, I think it is a bit misleading, that's because simplifying, removing or making things cheaper is also engineering. In fact there are many well paid engineers who work full time simplifying things.

As much as I hate the cult of Elon Musk, I have to admit that's one aspect of engineering he really gets, and I suggest you listen to his interviews with Tim Dodd / Everyday Astronaut, where he gets technical, trust me, it is not the usual bullshit.

All that to say that "overengineering" is bad doesn't mean you shouldn't have a lot of engineers working hard on a problem. In fact, a lot of "ovengineering" is the result of not enough engineering. They picked a (complex) solution without thinking instead of really studying the problem.
Racket a Language for Creating New Languages
The bitcoins were stored on a centralized exchange using a phone number as 2FA. Banks and brokerage accounts can be hacked the same way, though at least they'll make you whole if you catch it soon enough.

To really secure bitcoins, a hardware wallet or a passphrase in a safe deposit box are both pretty simple options that nontechnical people use all the time. Neither is expensive and both are widely known.
Can't see this being useful. There are so many devices and so much software with 127.0.0.0/8 baked in that I suspect an address in the proposed range would be less routable (overall) than an IPv6-only endpoint, and remain so for years, even if it became official.

> Complexity kills your product

This is like saying that water is lethal - both are true in the sense that some x (water, complexity) is ok, but too much is bad.

Complexity is an unfortunate (but necessary) side-effect of (1) adding features and (2) optimizing for performance, both of which are critical for building a product.

If you try to remove all complexity from your product, you won't have a product. Instead, you have to try to minimize complexity while still delivering the same set of features and level of performance.
> I suspect this is due to the fact that they've worked long hours and said "Yes" to every request from the beginning of their careers.

Also, "say yes to and do everything your boss/the police says to you" was ingrained into children for centuries.

The cost of that obedience propaganda, however, never showed up until modern day cutthroat capitalism.
Yeah, the only difference here is that these people are never charged or convicted. "Just a smart businessman"
Those latency and pause-time numbers are pretty sexy. 200ms is still probably too high for some applications, but for everything I work on, this is incredible.
I'm not fully up to speed but are modern blockchains still susceptible to a 51% attack?
> the ability to trust that the ledger is accurate seems extremely valuable

Maybe it "seems" valuable, but why exactly is it valuable? For what use case and which situation (besides crime)?

I think the issue is that many don't see value in its "primary value proposition" because the features they want from banks are already there (stability, FDIC insurance). The only thing I personally see missing is no/low-fee instant transfers, but crypto hasn't solved that either (too slow and/or high fees).
A few did - but not many upon further research.

I'll admit Dr. Seuss is not the best example.
What a headline.

No, the article isn't about bots voting. It actually says:

> individuals that...are more exposed to the automation shock are significantly [about 3%] more likely to vote for a radical right party.

> individual exposure to the automation shock leads to poorer perceived economic conditions, lower likelihood of having a permanent contract, and lower satisfaction with the government and democracy.

Opening up trade doesn’t necessarily make everyone better off. If makes everyone better off overall, at least to first order, but if you have national security requirements for needing domestic capacity anyway, that may make a bigger difference.

And you can make trade better for everyone period if you redistribute some of the gains of trade to those that it makes worse off. But… we don’t always do that…

Adventureland and Pirate Adventure were both originally done in BASIC and the interpreter with the compiled language (it reduced it to numbers) was on the tape. I did have some extremely clever folks reverse engineer my language and then write games in it! Hat tip to Alvin Files and William Demas amongst others!
This is what banks and credit card companies do already. It's the cost of doing the business. If someone steals your credit card and uses it then you're not responsible, the bank is. And you get your money back. But there's no such recourse or security for individuals in this new system.

Deep Habits: The Danger of Pseudo-Depth
You and the company still needs to know/decide which locale you get taxed in and which regulation to follow.

Even in California, SF has different payroll taxes and regulation than other cities in the area. Massachusetts requires employers to open a unemployment account in state. If the employee moves to a state the employer doesn’t have a employees previously, you need to register in the state and it might mean you have to now pay sales taxes on revenue in the state.

So unless you become an independent contractor and deal with this things yourself, the employer needs to know where you live most of the tax year.
I agree most business related coding is trivial, but all of the things that a software engineer does that surround the coding are not trivial. All of the best software engineers I know recognize this, and all of the less effective ones depend on them to fill in these gaps.

I’m sure this varies by company.
Wall Street’s Takeover of Nature Advances with Launch of New Asset Class
That argument doesn't work with currency, because money requires trust by definition (as opposed to immediate barter), and, as a backup -- enforcement.

In the end, it's just a question of whether you trust a centralised authority that's ultimate accountable, however imperfectly, or decentralised authorities that are accountable only to themselves and have no enforcement power.

If you give me bitcoin and I don't give you goods in exchange, or vice-versa, aren't you going to run to that central authority?
Hi Scott! Do you have any thoughts on how hard it is to come up with original adventure game puzzles and what your process is here?

When I was looking at this once, I noticed there's a lot of puzzles that are shared between recent adventure games that you can find in older adventure games too e.g. screwdriver + screws, rusty door + oil, distract an NPC so you can steal something. Instead of this being from lack of originality, I think instead there's some limits on how many puzzle like this exist because they have to be common sense + not completely obvious + involve physical object manipulation + use common objects. I think this is one of the reasons a lot of recent adventure games and escape room games devolve into doors with abstract logic problems to unlock them. Alternatively, they need to introduce new mechanics to widen the design space, like adding time travel or magic.
I see it as realistic, not toxic. A single employee is a human that has greed as one of their drives. Not everything is about money. I'm quite certain I could earn more if I applied elsewhere, but my current company is a nice place to be.

On the other hand, a company is an entity almost singularly driven by the need to maximize profit for shareholders. I have seen multiple teams work months of crunch time, only to be cut loose shortly after they delivered for the sake of 'streamlining'. Now, did the management who did the firing agree with that course of action? Heck no! They were livid. Many walked. But the C suite decision makers found cost savings that would give them fat bonuses and decisions were made.

I often wonder why the same people who are so hesitant to trust government turn right around and blindly trust corporations. The snake is not evil. The snake is a snake. Calling this view toxic or unhealthy does not change the facts on the ground.
If you think bringing manufacturing to the US is about jobs, then I have a bridge to sell you.

> We need to onshore more.

Simple solutions to overly complex problems is not the answer.

First, manufacturing output has steadily increased since the 90s. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/INDPRO

Second, the number of manufacturing jobs have steadily declined since the 90s. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MANEMP

How is this possible? Automation. These plants aren't creating US jobs and increasing wages, they're simply creating more wealth for corporations which they would have done anyway overseas. And since Samsung is a Korean company, the wealth is being created in Korea, not the US.
If you own a lot of crypto and it's still protected by SMS auth, you need to disable that (edit: in favor of OTP). If you can't, you need to buy a dozen prepaid sim cards and use them randomly. Or pay someone to do it for you. Very cheap in comparison to a theft.
You're confusing correlation with causality.

Lord and Miller definitely like to push the style of their films, but a lot of the technology used to achieve that style from Sony is from trying to closely adapt the rubber hose animation style of Fleischer cartoons in an attempt for Sony to differentiate themselves as a studio.

They really pushed it in Hotel Transylvania, their next feature film, where they were bringing Genndy Tratakovsky's style to 3D.
Yeah, which is my point. The uptake for new voice commands is even lower.
I try to follow a Battlestar Galactica approach to critical infrastructure in my house. There are microcontrollers but they are not networked.

I do have some Philips Hue stuff, but it is not on the cloud. Some lights use the remote control dimmer thingies, but they are attached to walls in convenient places so that the rest of my family can't lose them. Also, in places where I'm using a RC dimmer on a wall to replace a traditional switch, the old switch is easy to access should the communication fail or the dimmer runs out of power.
It's been 10 years, meanwhile everyone is hyping up how awesome and fast-moving the "web3" space is and how all the best developers have left their day jobs and are building for it. What's taking so long?
For some reason all ransoms are requested in cryptocurrencies as of late. There must be a reason, hmm...
This technology will likely be rolled out as tandem cells with conventional Si cells underneath. So any improvements to Si cells will carry over to these, and there will always be an efficiency bump vs. just Si.
LOL. IPv6 usage has been mandated by legislation for years for the Federal Govt. in the US. And yet....mostly no adoption.
The fungibility of cash is what makes it hard, although likely law enforcement will be able to trace many of these.

For example, you take your ill-gotten gains and just randomly send $1 to a million different addresses, some owned by you, some owned by random people or exchanges or whatever. Nobody's going to say no to free money, so the trail goes cold.

Or you use an offshore exchange that doesn't really practice strong KYC, and exchange the ill-gotten gains for a different cryptocurrency and now without the private ledger of the exchange, the trail is cold.

At one point "mixing services" were the talk of the town, but at this point it's clear that you can get 99% of the benefits of mixing without having to go through an explicit service.
SOS Rewards – Secure Open Source Rewards
I'm finding with the teams I'm working with that the junior employees are the ones most impacted by not working from an office, but they often don't realize what they're missing -- the less formal forms of mentorship, stronger community, interacting with more people that's not on their team and in their role, overhearing context, the ability to have a 3-min quick chat with a senior person without a scheduled meeting, and developing that stronger sense of "what good looks like." I'm really concerned that we're going to have a two-tiered system where a bunch of people early in their careers are going to feel stuck in a few years and not even realize why.
It's not the ability to manually control devices from your phone that is the interesting part. It's the part where you can automate things and create scenes that is.

For example, I have my home office in my basement. I have an automation in Home Assistant that when I turn on the Z-Wave light switch at the top of the stairs, it turns on my desk lamp and recessed lighting, and if it is a weekday during work hours, it will send a wake on lan packet to my work computer.

Another example, I have a tilt sensor on my garage door, and a contact sensor on the door into the garage, so that when either of those are opened, the main garage lighting turns on.

I might be wrong, but my concern is that attackers will mature as well. At the end of the day, putting your security entirely in your own hands is a level of liability that most people aren't willing to take on. I like some of the ideas in the cryptocurrency space, but I really wish they would openly contend with the fact that centralization has its benefits.
The problem we have is the destruction of the americans values by CRT and post modernist ideas.
Those ideas are tough to student through the school system mostly unchalenged.

The vast majority of student out of university end up with communist/socialist ideas, they know very well the disease of the right(Hitler) but almost nothing of the problems of the left (Mao, Stalin, etc)

You end up with a young work force with a new kind of Marxist thinking. Some of those will get position in HR in companies and push for equality of outcome.

While it is good to progress in ours socials value and improve, we must not do so at the price of what make our system functional.
