If I may just say thank you for this section:

> The denunciation of the mouse usually involves invoking concepts such as the “home row”, or the cumbersome migration of the hand between keyboard and mouse. These might all be well and good, if I were a typist and as such all I did was to type. But this isn’t the case, I ponder and perceive, more than I write.

This resonated so much with me :-) I still cannot believe how many people seem to think that the ability to type really fast is important to be a good coder, when we spend the vast majority of our time reading, re-reading and podering code instead of writing it.
I think that was more of a minor plot point to move the story along rather than the real message. Judge just took a common theme, probably popularized in The Time Machine (The HG Wells book, not the ride in the film), to get us from point A to Point B quickly. After all, it was such a small part of the movie compared to how much time was spent focusing on lowest common denominator entertainment (ow my balls), commercialism (Brawndo), corporatism (Brawndo owning the USDA), issues with automation, etc.
I dont disagree. From a technology POV, there are zero reason why anything cant be done on WASM in the future [1], and how WebGPU with extension could be used as a replacement for Metal or Vulkan. Or working on DOM access with WASM ( or is that a thing already? ). Others such as Web App and Web API could be developed. But none of these works at this point in time. And not in the near future. Especially when, as you said the platform vendors do not have any incentive to do so.

The single click Home Screen is definitely a platform limitation and not a technology limitation.

There are dozens if not hundreds of Real world examples where companies moves to Web Based technology ( example Ikea ) and move back to Native App simply because the experience, and user retention rate is far higher in Apps. React Native is bridging the gap but many would argue that is Native as well, not Web.

I am not in support of everything App Store. I think there needs to be a balance of things. I think there needs to be an option for user to install ( or sideload, which is a word I hate ). What we dont have an answer is how should Apple monetise what ever they think is needed for their R&D cost that is also acceptable to user and developer.

> Everyone is mad there’s no money in writing free/os software, but if there was money it wouldn’t be free/os software.

This doesn't hold up for me. I develop GPL'd software and I get paid for it. I probably wouldn't develop this particular GPL'd software if I wasn't getting paid to do it. The issues of payment and license seem related, but orthogonal.
Utrecht also is 4th in the Netherlands. Comparing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Largest_cities_of_the... to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_urban_areas_in_Sweden_..., the curve drops off a bit faster in Sweden.

I think the main difference is population density, though. At about 1/25th that of the Netherlands, if all else would be equal, distances between cities and villages will be 5 times as large.

That would make many cycling trips that are doable in the Netherlands (say from a 25,000 population village to the nearest 100,000 population area) impractical.
Orwell said, "There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them."

Given the record of technocratic missteps, misguided social engineering, bad policies and wars, one could make the case that we could collectively do a lot better if intellectual elites could be taught some common sense and humility.

Well, one of the de-facto test images for image processing belongs to a Playboy model [0], so it looks like a natural evolution in the field.

Actually it's amazing how image processing revolves around sexual imagery.

It does prevent inadvertent logging of passwords, though: no piece of software on the server side will have the user's password in memory at any point. Which does mean the user's actual password (if they're reusing passwords) stays more secure (by "more secure" I mean "has a lower probability of leaking to a malicious actor", not necessarily "has some additional security properties").
it's interesting how you have stories about how america is dumbing down going viral here juxtaposed with quanta magazine articles about quantum numb3r theory or some super complicated concept no one but 50 ppl can understand. what is it then. how can it be both. i guess society is getting both dumber and smarter.

I was hoping someone had made a context menu that is 28 feet long when you scroll through all the options. Sadly, no such hilarity presented itself. :)
AI doesn't exist. There is nothing inherently intelligent about deep NNs which are merely very good pattern matching algorithms, statistics really... The term AI suggests something is thinking which is false marketing at best, abused by thousands of consulting companies for a decade now.

Unless of course your opinion is that thinking is just statistics which makes for an interesting metaphysical discussion.
My phone doesn't always have an internet connection, or the internet connection can be flakey. Many of the apps I have on my phone work without that connection I find it valuable. It also has the side effect of not introducing random performance problems caused by IO which translates to a smoother more pleasant user experience and better battery life. Web pages really want a network connection for the most part. It creeps in at weird places in the design and that constraint leaks all over the place.
We focused on estimating the minimum/entry-level cost of Kubernetes here.

If you have a data intensive service, it surely would add up, but it's not specific to Kubernetes. If you go with VMs or a Serverless deployment, you'll have to pay it too.

If you're speaking about the storage and data transfers related to the Kubernetes control plane itself, I don't believe it represents a significant cost, even with a large cluster.
The funny part is everyone I've ever known to be into sex, porn, kink, etc has been not the one doing the sexual harassment in an organization but rather the ones calling out bad behavior.
Humans are never the loyalty fans of truth (especially when it comes to social or political issues). Fact-checkers or selective reports or anything else like that is all an outcome of that the majority of us choose to believe what we stand for rather than the simple truth. People become more and more divided until there is no common area, then there is war. History has shown us many times.
Oh, come on, did you mean to be polemic or not? :) I think it's a hard sell to claim that the article was actually directed at a small, perhaps barely existent, group of Unix users who seem to be either afraid of the mouse (!) or proud not to use it.

I'll rather accept what you said earlier in this thread (the "I wrote this mess ..." post): that you simply meant to be provocative. That's OK in my book, even when it doesn't turn out all that great. Nothing wrong with the rest of the article, either.

Then why not say:

"We have identified and fixed bugs that could result in incorrect masterpassword use notifications being sent but we have not yet been able to determine which if any of the recent wave of notifications were caused by those bugs. We are still investigating the issue".

Instead of communicating clearly around a serious security incident they are using mealy mouthed PR speak which does nothing to improve their image.
You can replicate NoScript and even uMatrix inside uBlock Origin now (uMatrix is even officially deprecated by uBlock Origin now)

uBO gives a lot of flexibility and a traditional "no js" is absolutely possible (see https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/Blocking-...). You then select which source is authorized to push crap at your browser
It is important people feel accepted and such, but reality requires everyone participate in the meritocracy of struggling through the economy.

A company that can afford to do identity-politics based hiring initiatives is a company that has more money than they know what to do with. Companies in the earlier stages that will go on to be successful are going to be lean and meritocratic.

FWIW, I really like how the Coinbase CEO handled the toxic woke employees they got burdoned with.

EF and EF-S are 'compatible' but only in one direction.

EF-S Cameras can take both EF and EF-S lenses. You can't go the other way; on EF Cameras, an EF-S lens will probably not fit and even if it does may damage the camera (i.e. mirror might hit the back of the lens due to clearance differences.)
Farming is not like copying a book. I just wasted a fair bit of time commenting about how farming is not like copying a fucking book and the implications that arise from that. But apparently you didn't bother to read it, are too thick to understand it, or simply prefer to respond with cretinous sarcasm, so I won't waste my time any further.
You picked up the same thing I did. I'm not sure what exactly in this sentence does it, but warning lights in the "this person is lying to me" section of my brain started flashing.
And what can we learn from this story?

Middle-Left coalitions are actually a pretty good idea.
Just like the heretics are usually the most deeply principled.
That is a very interesting idea. But I think you would want at least a 14 year grace period with no property tax.

Another possibility is a use-it-or-lose-it scheme like that used in Trademarks. If you built a game that is now abandonware, it should be fair game for someone else to remaster it, etc.
Perhaps the fact that we DO need intelligent people to have intelligent children will lead to some forced changes in our society down the line, progressive or not
It felt so grounded in reality that it took very little creativity to write or think about. Making 1-to-1 comparisons of things and people isn't very interesting. Such thin layers of abstraction don't add much value in media just as they don't in software development. It's basically just cut-and-paste.
> Even the "share and enjoy" mantra is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a rhyme

I don't know of any rhyme, but I always assumed that this was a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide and Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. Which, yes, does involve a pig: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/95859-share-and-enjoy-is-th...

Sirus Cybernetics Corporation was best known for having created Marvin, the depressed android, and doors with cheerful personalities:

> “All the doors in this spaceship have a cheerful and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you, and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done.”

So yes, "Share and enjoy" was originally deeply drenched in irony, and it functioned as a warning to proceed at the user's own risk.
Learning disabilities do exist. But wrt a 6th grade reading level, it would be shocking if learning disabilities were anything less than a severe minority of the cause. That’s not to say, however, that improper teaching in response to learning disabilities are necessarily a minority of the cause, just that the disabilities cannot possibly be so severe that we should accept this outcome.

I probably worded it very vaguely.
Size and density are different things. You can have a very dense little hamlet, or a sparse urban sprawl.
The Learning Channel (TLC) once aired documentaries but is now a heartbeat away from "Ow, My Balls!"

Is TLC making people more stupid or are they just giving an already foolish population what they want?
I'm pretty sure Arnold would become a president at some point if he was born in the US.
This makes me think about some sort of exec-with-dynamic-scope approach to functions, like:

func = {
b = 1 + a
}
result = func {
a = 1
c = a + b
d = 3
}

Where func {...} (two adjacent blocks) is like a composition and merges the two blocks. "=" has the mathematical meaning, not assignment but a statement of equality. The parameters are just the free variables, e.g. func has a parameter of a. Are external routines or functions also parameters? I'm inclined to say yes, and that it's interesting to treat them as such.

This is all very Mathematica/Wolfram-like, with concrete expressions with undefined terms, different than functions that are executed.

The result has no real sense of order, and so it implicitly has to be purely functional. I can imagine using this to build things-that-execute, where this code doesn't execute but defines an execution (like tensorflow). Or there's some outside layer that creates streams of input, and the "execution" is how it responds to those streams. That outside layer is where all the system integration happens. It would work well with React-style unidirectional data flow. But I think for any practical program you'd have to live in both worlds.
My condolences for your loss. Congrats on 2 through 5.

1. I started a new job digital marketing job making the most money I've ever made

2. I read 14 books (my goal for 2021 was 12 - I've never read that many in a single year ever).

3. I started training BJJ again after 1.5 year break because of the pandemic.

4. I started blogging/writing again after an ~8 year break.

From personal experience, writing down a handful of goals at the beginning of the year, I find that I'm far more likely to follow through with them.
this is where certain "smart" politicians completely drop the ball. Look at Hillary Clinton - she mocked and insulted nearly half of the US population by calling them "deplorables". Not the way to get them to follow her!
And how is this relevant for the regular shoe shop or clothing boutique in a Dutch city in the mid-nineties? Real pressure on sales volume is still 15 years away. Not a timeline which is actionable for the smaller retailer.

Also, plenty of retailers did migrate to hybrid or online only.

But your 'mid-nineties writing on the wall' is just irrelevant hindsight.

So, IDK how true this really is but I recall reading that the optimal angle for light to hit a sensor is different than for light hitting film. So that's a factor in the image output.

Not clear how you're reaching that conclusion. Native constructs can still implement prototype methods transparently to the developer without the class keyword. Just as devs could in userspace.

But contrary to what you're saying, most popular userland libs are indeed function oriented, and they don't end up like you're suggesting. E.g. RxJS, lodash

By function oriented in this context, I mean that they don't rely on the new keyword for ordinary code. Which reads cleaner

Anyway, functional stdlib can be pretty clean, such as something like Stream(persons).filter(person => person.age > 18).map(person => person.firstName).

Also there's the Pipes spec in the works that would allow for chaining distinct functions that are not on same obj. Not sure of current status
I mean...I can see why it'd be called smug...but to be honest, I don't think it was targeted to people that would be bothered by the smugness.

That is, it seemed like it was genuinely an expression of frustration/dismay/astonishment by it's creators to give it's audience a bit of...not quite catharsis...solidarity perhaps?
Will we pretend that the usage of floppy disks is normal in almost 2022? Or perhaps the news value comes from this fact, but then, they don't make any comment on it... Weird.

I also love that they seem to be taking this seriously, even when it's just 38 people, while all over the world, governments (cough Turkey cough) don't even apologize when they leak the personal details of ALL of their citizens. Well.

Or it's the opposite. I've had people base their business operations on my clearly marked hobby project. And then they started being nasty when I stopped updating it.
Hi anigbrowl, I really enjoy this community. I don't think anyone likes to read things like:

I spent about 15 minutes looking over that paper you linked and it looks like the researchers are discussing systemic problems and biases in the American legal system. Race is one of the variables they studied in their model. Their results show that Non-Black candidates are treated more favorably than Black candidates in the legal system. Am I understanding the part you wanted to highlight? The paper and results makes sense to me but I don't understand how that directly relates to Barrin92's original point.

I understand that someone could see Black people being discriminated against and connect that to the word "dark" being used to describe a negative trait. I get that using the same word to describe someone's race and describe something as negative can be bad. Is that what's happening here though? How do we determine which of the following examples from marriam-webster.com [0] are OK to use?

- They walked into the dark room, it was devoid of light.

- They are wearing dark clothing.

- They prefer/dislike dark rum.

- There were dark powers that lead to war.

- They have a dark view of the future.

- They had a dark period of history.

- They enjoy dark humor.

- Most of their dealings were done in the dark.

I don't know why you would assume that. If the things most people value like social acceptance and popularity don't value intelligence why would the parents select for it even if they could? It will simply become a cheaper route to everyone being a supermodel than plastic surgery.
Since Python scopes lexical variables to the function instead of the block, `j` is in scope for every line of `... outer ...`. So de-denting the last line of inner doesn't trigger a NameError, even for new bindings which were introduced within `... inner ...`.
My colleague is an avid mountaineer. He has his gear in the trunk of his car at all times. After work, if the weather is nice, he drives to the mountains to go hiking. That would be very hard to do with a rental car.
Idiocracy is fun, but the instinctive "OMG so true" is, IMO, wrong. The film riffs on a common fallacy more so than it's actually insightful. Statements like "people these days are so stupid/lazy/immoral" tend get an instinctive thumbs up. The slang, pop culture & consumerism of the future are the main way the film "demonstrates" that people got dumber.

The premise of Idiocracy is that dumb people reproduce more and society gets dumber. Eugenical yuckness aside, the reality is that IQ has been rising. Education too. Literacy, obviously. The average ability think through abstract concepts is on the up. Meanwhile, bookish nerdiness is more highly rewarded culturally and financially than before. It's not marginal either. People are smarter, not dumber, in this sense.

Whatever "stupidity" we observe isn't IQ. It's not a simple definition of smart and dumb.

I suspect what people are observing when they observe a stupidity trend is more of a dumb culture than a culture of dumb people. Maybe individuals are getting smarter but the culture is getting dumber. IDK. I have no conclusions. Just pointing out that any concrete "arguments" made by the film are actually quite fallacious, despite being pretty widely resonant.
If this isn't immediately thrown out, there are much worse things to start worrying about.
Maybe the 8" ones? I guess we'll end up creating more questions and not getting any answers any time soon.

You'd think that the duration or lifespan of equipment is written down somewhere, and that when stuff expires it's transferred to a replacement. But even in Japan that doesn't seem to apply to governmental bodies.

Small benefit of this case: it can't be that much data, unless it's a private key to a server that actually contains everything.

A ton of features on this list really require an IDE or rich program representation, or _something_ that's not just plain text. For instance using content hashes to refer to functions is only reasonable with IDE tooling support.
