That's caused by excessive metric tracking on the part of companies, and passing the blame down to individual employees. When a 5-star rating is the default and anything else is a push for the person to be fired, of course people won't leave negative reviews, that's going to prevent people from leaving accurate reviews.

If I could trust reviews to be used in good faith (e.g. by paying employees a living wage and not implicitly requiring dangerous behavior to meet quotas), then I could leave more accurate reviews.
Thanks for the advice. Given that you exposed your warped, racist ideological beliefs in other threads, this helps me to understand that Scala probably isn't something I want to involve myself with under any circumstances. Your judgment about good or bad at best cannot be trusted, and at worst is a contrary indication warning me to stay the hell away.
My computer in the 80s ran at 7.16MHz and a single core. The CPU speedup has increased far more than the amount of data to be moved even at the kind of setup you're describing.

This defeats the core idea of having something immutable, that no one can mess with. If you can agree to roll out a new version, why not do it with regular software?
Some facts and opinions: (first one is not ad hominem, just letting people know the website owner)

Elizeer Yudkowski never graduated high school or attended college. While there are genuine well-educated autodidacts, there are also people in the world who have perfected the art of sounding like they know what they are talking about to the right crowd while lacking any real depth of understanding in the subjects on which they speak. Having read and read about Yudkowski I believe he is more the latter than the former. So now I take lesswrong articles with a gigantic grain of salt. They may be entertaining and thought provoking but they can hardly be considered to contain expert or learned opinions or projections that correspond to the real world as it actually is as opposed to some puerile scifi fantasy or pseudo-religion dressed up with fancy language. My personal opinion is that there will be no "singularity" and "AI" is massively over-hyped and not intelligence. Intelligence is a part adaptive part emergent phenomenon of sentient biological life and computers are certainly neither sentient or biological yet. The adaptive part is more important than the emergent part. General intelligence does not just emerge accidentally. Rather it needs to be molded by the constraints of Darwinian goal seeking in diverse hostile environments.

Second, Moore's law was not ever a law. Rather it was the extrapolation of an observation. It held for some time. But as the discussion of multi-core chips below intimates it is not really holding any more. Adding more cores or more speed does not make a computer more intelligent because a computer lacks the motivation to reproduce that biological creatures have, that is the root of intelligence as an adaptive phenomenon.

Third every growing thing, including technological progress, is ultimately bound by constraints of the relatively simple laws of physics: limits to energy, space, time, etc. Thus what appear to be exponential growth functions in the long run turn into logistic functions. There is no evidence that advancing technology can indefinitely increase the returns to engineering applications of the laws of physics.

It is a good thing that France is building more reactors. I for one am glad that Macron has reversed his position on this. It is good for the country’s climate goals as well as energy independence.
So I pipe their output into a file, or into a logger engine. Problem solved.
You’d be surprised how many people don’t care what’s recommended for their needs, because they just want the strongest stuff imaginable. Particularly when they’re pissed off at pests.

There’s a good number of people who’d happily buy flying murder robots to blow rats up with missiles if they were readily available and affordable.
Nothing is free.

So people pay with their privacy, some because they are tricked into it, some because they don't care.

Point is that invaison of privacy is bad and you should not have even an option to trade it for "free shit".
Salt. Ants taste with receptors on thier feet. Walking on salt is painful to them. Smear some salty water and let it dry. No ant scout will ever cross the line. Ive used that trick countless times to keep ants off of counters or from crossing open doors in summer.
"we value your privacy" I am offended every time I read that.
I recently had to develop a small application for the MS ecosystem (An Office add-in) and as I use Pop OS as my daily driver, I had to switch to my Windows partition. While this was considerably simpler than what you describe, it was a very bad experience developing on Windows for the MS ecosystem. Bad and bloated documentation and boiler plate code of very low quality. It seems like MS responds to the competition with quantity instead of actually building some quality packages and frameworks.
I would not recommend this for serious use but Flutter on desktop is taking a good shape. If you have tried Flutter for Android then developing for desktop is pretty easy. Although they are still ironing out some core functionalities it's something you can try and use for application development for both Linux/Windows.
I'm not doubting that this happened, but it seems like it must be some strange mistake or was an act of moderation by whatever community you posted this in.

It does not matter what one likes to read or watch. What really matters is what you can teach or share. There will always be a market of any niche, especially related to dev.

I myself maintain a blog and run a Youtube channel in local Urdu language. When I started, I did not think what others want. I shared what I loved and could do on my own.

As long as you are original, authentic and honest, people would enjoy even a Hello World video by you.
Is it still that popular? Felt like it peaked but not the type of software I do so I might be out of the loop.
I am amazed at the ability of our minds to alter the way we see the world and everything in it to feed its desire for addictive substances and justify our actions in achieving its goals.

I have never experienced a meth addiction but have had my fair share of relapses and my mind managed to reason myself into all of them.

I believe 12 step programs and AA/NA in particular are an excellent tool in fighting one of addiction's most powerful drivers, which is loneliness.

I do not believe in total abstinence and feel that this may be the "Achilles heel" of most 12 step programs as even though they are supposed to be unconditional support systems, abstinence is a huge condition and there is also a stigmatic undertone when it comes to relapses which are something every addict goes through.

I have not been to a meeting in a long time but am forever thankful to my late friend who brought me to my first meeting in my darkest time.

"""“Below Level 1” = 14% of Adult Population

Being too polite to use a term like “level zero,” the OECD researchers refer to the lowest skill level as “below level 1.”

An example of task at this level is “Delete this email message” in an email app."""

That 26% I described? They were below even the “Below Level 1” level.
Good reading ! It would be interesting to have other similar challenges, such as Euler, solved in idiomatic Tensorflow and Pytorch. Also some examples of more complicated state-of-the-art algorithms, such as sorting/graph/trees algorithms reimplemented in these frameworks.

It would be a great introduction to these frameworks for people who never touched anything ML-related, leaving the neural network content to later in the learning process.

Learning how to create differentiable algorithms and neural networks would be easier once the way those frameworks work is understood (ingesting data, iterating dataset, running, debugging, profiling, etc).

If you are starting with neural networks or differentiable programming, learning both the maths and the frameworks at the same time can be quite overwhelming
I find it very amusing that the current answers suggest:

- WinUI

No, the core issue is that advertisments are not enough for them, they want personal data too.

Giving someone with a website an image that they put up there is simple and requires zero cookies. If your goal is to have people see that banner this is literally all you need to do.

But of course advertisers want targeted ads, they want to get metrics (they don't care how truthful those metrics are, but who cares right?).
This looks comprehensive. What commercial software does this replace / compete with? Does one exist?

I am half convinced you can build a successful cyber security business putting a box in a network that does absolutely nothing. I think there's a requirement to at least show a blinking led and have a, not necessarily patched, cable plugged in. But that's about it.

My thinking is, that if you show a cool enough interface (not connected to the box), with lots of widgets and stats, and they don't detect a hack in the time span of 2 years, you can probably walk away with pretty penny! If they do get hacked, just pretend you technically _did_ see the alert, but a junior employee on your side failed to act on it. Sack them, and then re-hire them later. They are the 'fall' person whose job is basically getting fired. Give your customer a discount and try to stay on for 2 more years!

It's definitely huge tool, but it allows you to do a lot of kind of developments.

I think it's very decent tool if you want to do C# development, especially when you want to have reliable intellisense and strong debugging tooling

(expression evaluation at fly, changing code at fly, moving to different lines during debugging, conditional breakpoints)
“I think an under-served market is "intermediate to advanced programming for people who didn't study computer science…””

I find this too. I’m self taught and have made a lot of good projects with blog tutorials and SO. Python has let me do a lot quickly, but I get stuck on some odd things.

Last time it was data structures. For a project I was expanding, the data structure was insufficient. I imagined there must be more complex data structures to solve the challenges, and I asked people for this. Lack of response helped me realized my thinking was wrong. Then I realized I could do what I needed with SQLite. Haha.

Right now I’m stuck on an aspect of Django. Django is a Python module. When I want to add another module to modify how Django behaves I need to override in my code. It’s all too complicated to imagine for me. Example, adding wiki pages to django by adding django-wiki module, then adding tags to the wiki pages by adding danio-tagulous. I know this is some kind of class override, but I just can’t imagine it.

Also, How to think through adding API data to your project? Like swagger.

For me it’s about thinking or visualizing how to put my code together with other people’s code. And once in a while I ‘imagine’ what a solution should be, and I make everything more complicated than it need be.

It is clear that the private sector is always going to take more from open source than it will ever give back. Instead of trying to convince individuals or companies to donate to open source, or trying to get open source developers to come up business plans, can we just step back and admit that open source is a huge benefit for society? It allows us to reuse and build upon strong foundations.

In my opinion, it is time for our governments to look into funding open source directly. Governments should have an organization that helps promote open source, incentivizes missing open source projects to be built, and gives out grants to developers for continued work on building and maintaining open source projects.
I largely agree. An Impressum/Imprint is however not only needed for explicitly commercial sites, but also for sites that are not purely personal. E.g. just earning some cents with an ad banner on your personal site means you need an imprint. There have been lots of lawsuits, it's really ugly, and I totally can understand that people want to be on the safe side.

This form of question rarely leads to answers. The world is full of good programming language technology ideas and the default is that they don't become widely used. Every once in a while the wheel of reinvention comes around again and ideas get new chances to take off, if the stars align just right (eg get attached to a big tech fad or corporate sponsorship with well resourced marketing and evangelism).

> You don't need a cookie banner to be allowed to create Cookies. You only need them if you're using them for something like tracking.

That is a common misunderstanding of the ePrivacy Directive [1][2]. It applies to all cookies (and "similar devices") that are not "strictly necessary in order to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user". And "strictly necessary" is quite a high bar.

Exactly. There's really not a way to make it easy. Web is the best UI dev method, that's why electron became popular.
I love the banners! Sites don't need them for basic functionality, so when you see one you know that you're at a site out to sell your data and violate your privacy.

I feel like I can immediately tell how shady a site is by how annoying and passive aggressive their cookie banners are.
I mean, there are plenty of pro-immigration people that believe in the Great Replacement, that's why they post on twitter or have signs in protests that say "we're going to replace you." I don't even know why it's described as a white nationalist thing, oh well actually I do know why.
I don’t disagree with the idea that if you’re going to get into a crash, that a slower-speed crash is usually less risky. Where I disagree is that we can stop at basic physics and ignore so many other factors. A focus on physics is kind of like the “but if it saves one life” argument, which is fallacious because it’s contemptuous of all other views.

It is not simply the case that anti-speed crusades result in safer roads. The USA’s 55 mph experiment a was a failure in that regard, and Vision Zero campaigns aren’t delivering on promises.

We really need to focus on crash elimination, which is not a hyper focus on speed. Crashes that don’t happen can’t injure or kill.

As other said, sometimes you do not know that there is going to be a lot of output. In my case, I often save the time it takes to press Ctrl+C and add "tail" at the beginning of the previous command

I see you posted the same comment again and again, every time asking for a possible use case, and when people provided you with theirs, you answered, «well, but I would…», with the tone of who is saying that mine is the only rightful way to do it.

Agreed, calling this slavery is a level of hyperbole that doesn't help the debate at all.
Some tools made building GUIs easy (and fun). I can think of Visual Basic, HyperCard, Borland’s TurboPascal, FrameMakerPro, etc.

In today’s era, the easiest GUI tools are probably game engines, iOS and web browsers.
Power management scares me. On Windows for instance it is well known that many laptops will have usb devices disconnect randomly and even crash if ‘usb power management’ is turned in.

It is easy to wreck the performance and reliability of your system by tweaking parameters. Really improving power consumption requires balancing on a knife edge.
One thing that the article didn't mention is that second generation rodenticides are actually not especially dangerous to pets assuming that the owners are aware of the symptoms (usually lethargy and discolored lips). For warfarin the LD50 for cats is actually quite high - quite surprising for an animal that is vulnerable to kidney damage - and the treatment is a series of vitamin K injections. So good news for pet owners with crazy neighbors.

None of this is helpful for wild predators of course, and rodenticides are more likely to be used in rural areas where both rodents and their predators are present.
Ok. But why would mass production of longevity treatment not be affordable. Maybe you live in the US -- this is pretty much the only place where the price of medicine and medical treatment is obscene.

If longevity comes -- it will be affordable for $1000 once a year for as long as you like in some other part of the world. Or if you live in any other Western country, part of your universal medical plan.
We have a Windows POS app for mines, quarries, sand and gravel, etc.

When we broke ground on this version Microsoft was hardcore pushing UWP. We were building for the future so we built our app within the constraints of UWP with the expectation that it would grow with Microsoft’s vision…

Fool me once, as they say. UWP is dead.

We are currently redeveloping the entire thing with a series of Win32 base classes and intend to layer on a WPF front end for now. WinUI is early and promising. But so was UWP.

Long term we’re exploring outside the box UI options like running a local server and popping a browser. C# and .NET are very powerful. But the fractured landscape for desktop development gives little hope for the future.

If your goal is to build a rich UI, then you may have to suffer through learning whichever flavor of XAML you decide to go for. But if your goal is to interact with local hardware functionality I’d probably steer clear and use WinForms, a browser interface, or a console interface.

Not sure how you missed 2 decades of unethical behavior, but reading between the lines: you will get over it and continue to give them money.
These days, for enterprise application, ElectronJS is enough for most of use cases. You don't need a PHD in Computer Science to do that. Just learn basics of JS, HTML, CSS is enough.
> it lowers the mental overhead by just having to perfect one of way of doing things.

That's exactly the point. The mental burden of remembering the quirks of (and having to choose between) namedtuples, typeddicts, dataclasses etc is very real.
Any ad is automatically manipulation, trying to get you to buy things.
A lot of money is spent in design these days, but most of the times nobody cares about the RTL style. In fact, all designs are draw with LTR in mind. Once you have a fairly medium/big app that's designed solely for LTR, the cost of also implementing a RTL rendering is enormous. Every component should be designed twice and implemented with conditional rendering depending on locale.

Isn't there a simpler solution for supporting RTL? Why not render everything LTR and then flip horizontally? Could it work?
Most systems use package management now; npm is only the poster child.

Reviewing a stack of BOMs is going to be a challenge for any organization. Say your production Linux has 1000 packages. Each of those might have hundreds or thousands of deps in varying versions, in their respective package managers (BOMs).

Business needs to step up its process game. How are BOMS (dep lists) reviewed? Do we expect zero CVEs? How do you filter out false positives, or irrelevant ones? Do you dump everything with that dep or help the maintainer fix it? Many questions.
About the humungous Visual Studio download - that's annoyed me as well. I recently asked:

"How do I obtain Microsoft's C++ compiler and standard library (and just that)?"

https://stackoverflow.com/q/69274364/1593077

and the answer was either "You can't" or "It's complicated". I gave up and used the MSVS installer. And you _still_ need to invoke a complex script to get your environment in order.
Isn’t it where we are going with Nix and co?
There's a really simple solution. Don't develop for Windows. Literally, most UNIX systems were created with the intention of having the developer experience in the foreground! Just pick one and be happy :)
