As someone who's studied this field extensively and applied it professionally, I'll go ahead and say I wouldn't recommend Accelerated Expertise to anyone. Reading it I got the distinct impression that the authors did not understand a great deal of the research they cited, either when supporting or dismissing it. Some good criticism of the book can be found here[0]. If some acronyms confuse you, the main one to know is CLT, Cognitive Load Theory. The idea roughly is that humans have a relatively fixed amount of stuff they can hold in their head and the process by which we become more expert is by making "schemas" that allow us to automate processes and group many small ideas together. When learning you want to create robust, correct schemas quickly.

> As a general remark, I get confused and maybe even a little irritated when people conflate Android & iOS with macOS/linux/windows.

Android and iOS represent the majority of devices your software can be run on. They are ubiquitous, and also very dependent on a native UI frameworks that are a somewhat better developer experience than their desktop counterparts, but only because the years of accumulated cruft are less. Incidentally, Android actually does have a desktop mode for it's GUI. That said, users rarely use the desktop Android GUI.

> You can sort of kind of pull this off with a relatively limited web app

I've had better luck with electron and PWAs on the desktop than non-native mobile tooling. This is largely because non-native mobile frameworks often don't have access to the same libraries - or the abstraction layer loses fidelity in trying to be cross platform. There's really no QT grade multiplatform tooling on mobile. There's some promising starts.

> I think it's extremely hard to design the GUI in a way that can work on both mobile and desktop platforms

It's hard to get a decent GUI on both Android and iOS that doesn't have a lot of rough edges with cross platform frameworks. They are coming along, but it's still just not quite there yet.
I don't see a stark difference between inline attributes and, say, tailwind CSS.
> Regarding not infecting people, again, we know the vaccine is effective.

There is simply no evidence of this. None.

> It's effective in reducing hospitalization, severe disease,

The only evidence we have for this -- so far -- is for people over age 50. There's no evidence of reduction in mortality for younger, healthy people.

> and against getting the disease in the first place.

Our current evidence for this is limited to a few weeks after boosters, and again, it is expected that this will fade over time as antibody titers decline.

> And, if you have a lower probability of getting the disease if exposed, if you get the shot, does it or does it not mean you will infect fewer people if you get the shot? Simple logic.

Still waiting for you to answer the core questions: what is the risk? What is the benefit? Don't just wave your hands. Quantify the benefit.

To make it as clear as I possibly can: if there is a .0000000001% improvement in mortality risk from illness, and a .00001% mortality risk from the vaccine itself, then the logic is obvious: one should not get a booster dose. The risks of the booster dose are (hypothetically; I am making up numbers here) 10,000x greater than the benefits, even though both are quite small.
The difference is intent, and this is a core consideration of our justice system.
It's not because of AT&T, it's because of government regulation.
I was only stating an alternative, possibly common, misinterpretation. It makes no sense to argue that the misinterpretation is wrong, only whether people do or don't, of which we only have our two samples. HN and time+votes aggregators in general are inherently timely.
Or the advertises/whatever assholes profit of “engagement”?
> Their inputs are amazing, so the outputs are excellent even with subpar value-add.

This is exactly it. The people I know from going to Ivy leagues (or similar) are exceptional people to begin with. They were doing well before they got admitted. When I compare them to my peers from more accepting schools - they’re above marks in almost everything. This isn’t because Yale made them a better person - it’s because they were to begin with. (Usually due to differences in upbringing)

Seeing an Ivy League degree, I usually just think, “oh, good for them. This person probably came from a good family.” Whereas when I see some other unknown university I don’t give it much thought other than - “probably didn’t come from as good of a family as the Ivy League folks”. Where “good” in this case is something that enables one to go to such elite universities - quantify that however you like.

That said - I don’t hold up Ivy league graduates very much - I’ve met a lot of dumbasses who got their degrees from them. Being good at getting into a school doesn’t mean you’re going to be good at everything else - lol.
If it's voluntary, then obviously cheaters are not going to install it. You choosing to install the anti-cheat software on your own computer will not magically stop people you play with from cheating. Therefore your whole argument goes out of the window.
I got this as a birthday present from my partner and kids. Love it.
Microsoft is ousing WinUI3 so why would I go for WPF instead? Remember I'm new to windows development.
Yeah not like the requirements have changed at all........
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain that. This is something I wish I had read before going to uni. Knowing how to skillfully "extract knowledge" from an expert with a powerful question is a skill in itself. I wish there was more emphasis in education in uncovering tacit knowledge instead of simply being spoonfed the way it's been done for generations. This is helpful and I'm going to take this with me where-ever I go from now on.
>Was there a rule that mouse jigleres are forbidden ?

No, there was a strong suggestion (not a legal requirement) that the login session should time out after 30 minutes of inactivity, to help protect the confidential data from unauthorized access.

We could break topics into a hierarchical namespace like comp.editors.vi and comp.editors.vim and alt.politics…
Neither WPF nor WinUI are using OS controls for most of their GUI. Their GUI is defined by styles and templates in various XAML files. You can make controls look however you like. Microsoft did a great job back then re-implementing UX of WinXP and Win7 on top of WPF, but unfortunately not the newer Windows versions.

Here’s a third-party project with styles and templates implementing GUI similar to Win10: https://github.com/Kinnara/ModernWpf Their approach seems correct, and the screenshots looking nice. I never needed that library BTW, my clients who need good GUI usually provide professionally-made design which is unrelated to Windows controls.

Also, here’s a relevant GitHub issue https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/5793 which currently says “.NET 7.0 milestone”, however the 7.0 is scheduled for November 2022, i.e. in about 1 year, and they may or may not deliver by then.
Thanks for bravely diving deeper into the class hierarchy than I did.

Your analysis of what should have been done in 2.7 is spot on.

Regarding my point about migration compatibility - I would not assume that the only time anyone has moved from log4j to slf4j was when slf4j first came out. Slf4j+log back is also a drop in replacement for log4j 2, up to a point.
The Krugman article you linked is behind a paywall so I couldn’t read it. I did, however find this other article on his take on MMM [1]. Per the article, Krugman’s take is that most other economists aren’t pro-MMM enough for his taste. He thinks we should be even further to the left on MMM. Is that your position also?

Do you also support Krugman’s position that the internet would never be more valuable to society than the fax machine? [2] I have no doubt you concur with his repeatedly articulated position that Bitcoin is also worthless? Perhaps as worthless as the internet vs the illustrious fax machine?

As for the rest of your comments, I’ll summarize them as follows:

1. Inflation is not a problem as long as economists can predict it because, reasons.

2. Inflation isn’t really a problem for regular people because they can just go and get an over-sized mortgage at an interest rate below inflation and get free money without consequence.

3. Inflation will be over soon, which ignores the trillions in new money recently injected into the economy, and people maybe won’t notice or won’t mind the new higher prices for things as prices magically stabilize in 12-18 months? - despite the fact that the money printer isn’t likely to stop printing money in that timeframe.

> 1. I wanted to build Windows 11 apps and I had to choose between Windows Forms, WinUI3, Win32 and WPF I think.

Aside, is there a term for this type of product bloat? "industrial ADHD"?
A professorship is a prestige position that’s subject to extreme competition. Berkeley can get away with paying their faculty barely enough to survive because every newly minted PhD dreams of becoming a professor. The same isn’t true of a grade school teaching job. People aren’t lining up to babysit a bunch of misbehaving kids.
I think people like myself have throwaway accounts for this purpose. For example, I use this account to say things I think might end up with negative karma. However, right now this account has positive 78 karma. Just a hack I and probably others use to get around 'reasonable-ey' filters like the HN karma system.
Random idea: make a new HN-like site, but only allow signups by publishing a public key to your HN profile (and have a minimum karma limit).

You’d get some karma portability to filter for the nerds here, but could focus outside of harder tech.
To indulge briefly in my own pedantry, I believe Gilgamesh predates the Iliad by nearly a thousand years.
If picking up software contracts here and there is consistent enough for you to count on then it's either already a full time job or the end result of years of networking and experience.

UBI would let people devoted to a subject pursue only that.
One day I'll learn rust and maybe then I'll understand.

> live with developing processes to stay on top of updates like the rest of us?

NASA follows very robust software engineering processes (even for research projects like e.g., Copilot and, to a lesser extend, Ogma). It would not be able to do what it does if it didn't.

This is a topic for a longer discussion and definitely not to be had here, but I will say that it's not conductive to a constructive discussion to see it as a problem with our processes, or us ("developing processes to stay on top of updates", "like the rest of us").

The people who work on these things are smart. This is a topic we've had long discussions on. If it was obvious or viable to fix internally, we would have done it already.

I have been programming in particular in Haskell for 20y. I've worked for all kinds of companies and organizations, big and small, for the last 18y. I am like the rest of us. The problem is not exclusive to NASA, and NASA's processes are not to blame here.

It's a problem with how to build languages and ecosystems.
At demonstrations, they are.
I don't think it is possible. Any topic on here that is about politics, sexuality, gender, or hell even covid gets overwhelmed with comments that are full of fallacies and closed minds.
Thank you for the comments! One thing that may be able to help with inter-operatability is GraphQL, as a common interface to discover and access data. I am working on it and hope I can make it available soon.
and then second edition of the book comes out with that snippet deleted or updated to look completely different.

There's already head-only MRI machines. Like all MRI machines, they are phenomenally expensive to operate, eat shittons of energy, and only make sense if they're in constant use. But yes, reducing bore size improves resolution.

I've seen healthy debate on hot-button issues at places like /r/politicaldiscussion: in fact, I think that sub avoids the flame-throwing devolution better than HN does. There might not be a place here for it, but there certainly are places that exist function as you're describing. It won't be a technology-catered audience, but you don't need to be a technologist to respectfully discuss these topics.
Good to hear. My ideas for such a thing are based on the same sentiment; the internet as it used to be, and should be (?). I agree that some interactive parts like a forum, or even nested comments like here on HN, are necessary. That's what really makes it a two way street. Me having a website and you having a website (and us subscribing to each other's feed) is more like two one way streets.

A webring is also a feature I really like. Good for related - but still random - discovery.
I wonder if console use with a mouse and keyboard will grow in popularity owing to this issue. People hate cheaters, but also don't want to run anticheat on their primary OS. At this point it seems like Sony, MS and Valve machines are pretty locked-down and aren't as easily tampered with.
Depends on the cryptocurrency. If the fees are higher than your typical shopping at the supermarket and being significantly slower than the current payments system, then it is completely useless overall.

After all, everyone needs to eat.
Yeah, the number of people who go from cheating on games to interested in programming cheats to FAANG engineer is non-trivial and means that cheating ends up as a value add for reality, even if it hurts the enjoyment of the other gamers in the moment.
Hm, would be nice if they had a comparison. More than just "it's Rust".
Didn't keybase work like this? The downside is that it leads to lower quality posts just to get to a certain karma.
We waste so many resources customizing each response to time and observer and it’s just nuts. Most people aren’t going to notice if a calculation is being debounced, amortizing it over hundreds of seconds or requests. Instant gratification is the most expensive thing by far. And debouncing has such a profound effect similar to load shedding for traffic bursts, it really should be front and center in the literature.

When I was young I worked on a project that was so inefficient that I was professionally embarrassed to have my name associated with it. So I moved heaven and earth to fix it. Gave myself an RSI before I learned to better automate some transformations.

Today I’m also working on another, lesser embarrassment, but I’m not working weekends and holidays on it anymore. I’m not a hero surrounded by villains, I’m an observant person drowning in a sea of apathetic faces.

The amount of hardware we have per user request should have gotten someone fired. Most of the people responsible are gone, but one is still here complecting anything that isn’t nailed down, and few others know enough to realize that the reason they don’t feel confident in the code is because someone intentionally made it that way, and you should not be looking up to those people. They are literally making you dumber.
Hi! I had a lot of fun building this - I think the idea of NFTs with tradable attributes is something we'll see more of in the future.

Initially, I deployed to eth. Gas fees made it unusable there - setting prices on a piece of gear was upwards of $90. I guess that's the downside to storing everything onchain!
It’s not at all controversial among normal people. But many universities in the English speaking world, and some critical sporting authorities, are under the control of a managerial class representing a powerful cult. One of its central dogmas is “trans women are women”; if that is true, then there is no basis to exclude trans-identifying men from women’s sports.
Kind of? Do you think the market for firefighters is a monopsony and if so, how does that shape the firefighter labor market?
Let’s look at Twitter for a real-world example. The core concept of it hasn’t changed, it still just has to display a blurb of a few hundred characters at most. Back in the day this was achieved by server-side-rendered HTML and a simple form POST. I don’t have the numbers for the page back then but I’d estimate it at 100KB - nowadays it’s a multi-megabyte-sized pile of shit that often fails at its primary purpose of displaying a block of text with a stupid “something went wrong” message or endless spinner.

The “new” Reddit is also a good example. Even ignoring all the user-hostile functionality changes, the actual experience is still slower and less reliable.
If you're interested in some of the life and afterlife of Celtic myths, I'd wholeheartedly suggest The Celtic Myths that Shape the Way we Think by Mark Williams. I finished it a few days ago, and it was really good. Went into detail about what we can actually know about Celtic myth (hint: pretty much nothing), what even 'Celtic' means, etc., but also talked about some of the most famous stories, what our sources are, and how they've been adapted since. It was quite an interesting read.

Running, maintaining, and improving AlterClass is a full time job and it is costly. I'm putting a lot of time and effort into it. The monthly subscription is to help me make a living while helping others with creating and selling better online courses.
It's much simpler: if you run into a missing bug/feature, report it to the maintainers and ask them to assign it to you.

If each individual licensee is itching their own scratches, then there's a really good chance the entire codebase gets love.

Absolutist approaches are the death of all good things. "Some" is better than "none."
While I agree, in my experience it's very difficult to find people you describe, and once you do, you won't really have a long and interesting debate you might have hoped for.

First, you start by agreeing on the axioms which is necessary to even think about a meaningful discussion. Already at that stage you can discover you have different set of axioms (e.g. one party has an utilitarian world-view and the the one doesn't). The subject of the discussion is secondary, because it all boils down to your set of values. You can discover it by having several discussions with the same people: you will quickly realize you get stuck on the same fundamental issue (e.g. the value of life having precedence over one's personal choices).

Note that the axioms might not seem that obvious and you might discover them only in the last stages of discussion, when one party says, "Of course X" and the other party responds, "Of course not!" Especially all kinds of discussions between the so called religious and non-religious people are completely useless as the axioms in both cases are usually very different.

So in my opinion discussions should be not so much about convincing someone (as this is hardly possible as it's related to one's beliefs, not facts) but about how to coexist in the optimal, most harmonious way while having different - and sometimes conflicting - views.

Wow that’s kind of alarming; I wouldn’t have expected that behavior from an OS provided AV (I would have assumed it would be more conservative) but maybe I shouldn’t be too surprised given the trends these days (and microsoft’s decisions with their recent OS’s too).

Thanks for sharing.

From what I've seen, it's not something to be brushed off as "not the case".
Interesting and non-obvious fact about solar panels...

The optimal angle for generating as much power as possible from the panels is very different to the optimal angle for powering something year round.

If you want to power something year round, it's the power in winter you need to maximize - so you angle the panel very steep to collect winter sun. In the summer, this angle is far from optimal, but due to more hours of sunlight there will still be plenty to power whatever device it is you want to be always powered.
We’ve recently transitioned to Salesforce for a project. It’s remarkable how laggy the interface is. Removing a line from a quote takes three clicks and four seconds. The UI also doesn’t always refresh the items in a reasonable period of time, requiring a page reload.

Reloading the page is like 20MB as well. Great when you’re tethered to your phone.
I hate to say this, as I sound... like I'm trying to act superior. I don't mean it that way, but it really is a lack of educational process. It isn't just a complete lack of education, but a lack of a specific education.

HN tends to attract people from an educational/professional background that encourages critical thinking. Even if the user has a degree in the liberal arts, the application of their mind in technology forces their thoughts in a way that pushes them to think critically and not just accept what is given to them without question - I would think. As with all thoughts and theories, this is a general rule and a hypothesis, I might be way off the mark.

Generally speaking, though, people who have learned critical thinking skills seem more willing to discuss an issue in a reasonable manner and drill down to the truth of it, rather than "dig in" and just decide they're right with whatever information they might have on hand.

I only bring this up as I have a fine arts degree, but shifted into programming as I wrote scripts for different art applications and the transition was natural as I had a background as a script kiddie from my high school days. A large amount of the people I went to school with, however, are absolutely unwilling to apply critical thought to specific subjects even though some have masters degrees.
Cool, but what problem is this meant to solve? How does it compare to memcached in terms of performance?
It's said about Vim that it lets you edit text "at the speed of thought", because navigating documents, making edits and running commands are all available within the interface via a small set of keyboard commands. There are browser extensions that enable a similar interface within a browser: Vim navigation keys, a command mode for e.g. bookmarking or searching, every link being clickable with the keyboard. This provides the same interface for Windows.
