I did a quick search and I didn’t see HOPL mentioned (History of Programming Languages). You can learn a lot about this history of computing in general by going through that workshop series.

If you like podcasts, there is Advent of Computing. It's not chronological, instead covering a different topic every episode. Most recent episodes are about magnetic core memory, INTERCAL, a hypertext system developed by the US military, and the Analytical Engine, respectively. There's over 80 episodes now so there's a lot to learn about.

Wow! Which direction from SF??
I kind of long for the sitcoms of my youth. Something like Night Court, where it's a half an hour of jokes and then you're done. It's nice and relaxing and doesn't try and hook you into watching hours on end.
It’s strange that people think if they put the word “formal” in front of something it means it’ll work perfectly.
Smart Summon does use radar. Last I checked it's disabled on vision-only Teslas. I wouldn't use until it uses the new FSD stack, because even with radar it is not good.
If these are the only kind of edge cases where smart summon fails, I'd say it is actually doing pretty good.
Trans people are included in the push for equal rights for gay people because they make up too small of a percent of the population to get consideration on their own. Also, insisting that trans people are considered separately from gay people is itself a form of division; it's essentially saying that we should be considerate of only X, Y and Z people instead of being considerate simply to all people. Such efforts to divide the LGBT community is an old tactic from the bigotry playbook. If we can talk about 'spouses' instead of husbands and wives then we can be considerate of trans people and their prefered pronouns.
Good, this means that the people here are smart. Hence why I said get everyone else :) (i.e. I legit wasn't thinking about people posting here)
I grew up in an area like this and it was pretty great!
Imagine you work in Wakanda and slave was s'mballa and master was m'chatka and one day the science department said ok we're calling it m'butu by default instead.

Does it shape anything for you? You're just doing your 9-5 building T'Challa's HUD for his panther helmet as an immigrant worker who barely speaks the language. If anything it just makes your life more annoying when the Wakandan scientists rattle off instructions to you and you're barely keeping up. They are just words.

Perhaps in Wakandan culture the change is significant and shapes their models of thinking but we are talking about terminology changes for all of planet Earth and beyond. Why not do some soul searching and come to terms with your ugly history on your own instead of dragging everyone into it.

<p hidden>Senior management's latest idea</p>
I think a grammar checker that warned about cross-cultural confusion would be pretty valuable in many writing contexts. It would best be constructed in that light: rather than moralizing or being activist just noting the fact that some text has a non-trivial odds of being understood in a way different than you likely intended.

So for example, a writer of British English may want to be warned that "Bring me some fags when you return" may be misunderstood by American readers.

This hypothetical checker might still warn you about "master"-- for example-- as there is now a sizable contingent that finds it controversial. ... but it would equally warn you against terms like "birthing person" which is considered by many to be biologically reductive to the point of being offensive, and by most people to be at least highly loaded.

Such a tool would almost certainly not caution you against "landlord".
>I'd guess that the anti-male discrimination is a fairly weak barrier to men who really want those jobs.

I'm sorry to say you're definitely, clearly wrong about this. I am not an educator but I travel in those circles and I know at least a half dozen men who wanted to be early childhood educators and just couldn't find work, regardless of the need or their qualifications, and that is by no means a unique story. They all have stories of administrators, HR, etc flagrantly implying they might be pedophiles. It's not just 'the system's fault either, society is strongly prejudiced against men working with young children. The discrimination is real and these men actually suffer for it.

I'm not sure how to take your point of it being ok because nobody really wants these jobs anyway. Frankly it's hard to see it as anything other than reprehensible. Plenty of good, intelligent, well adjusted people do these jobs knowing the pay and conditions are terrible because they want to make a difference.
I started my career as a programmer out in Fredericksburg.

I think that it was good to be able to be able to get into Austin/ SA for meetings and then live in the sticks. I'm in Western CO now... there are a lot of tech workers in the small town where I live.
Er, what? Sounds crazy high, maybe $50 for tubes/pads (at huge bike shop markups) and even a very generous hourly rate for a generous 1 hour should be WAY less than half of that.

Not to gatekeep the word rural, but: Problem with some of these replies is they’re pointing out small cities, not rural areas. When I (and maybe OP) think “rural/pastoral” I am thinking villages with less than 500 people. A house on 2 or more acres where you can’t see your neighbor is considered a small property. That’s rural. Not Asheville or Fort Collins. Those are just small cities.

> I would like to live a more pastoral life, but anecdotally I've heard that people tend to be very different to those you find in a city.

You don't even have to get that far out of the city to get away from city people. I'm just an hour from DC, in a part of Maryland where there are still quite a few farms within a 5 minute drive, and it's like night and day compared to the city. And I even have fiber internet! Strongly recommend it.
How thoughtful of Tesla ;-) One nearly backed into me a few months back. I banged on the car to alert the driver. It stopped. There was no one in it. Owner was summoning her car in a grocery store parking lot. People.
Geosharded Recommendations Part 1: Sharding Approach (2018)
> First-class functions, lambdas, and closures are mostly unheard of in the top 20 programming languages

A quick Google search tells me the "top 20" includes Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, C, Go, Swift, PHP possibly Ruby/Perl/Kotlin/etc. I can't think of a single one that doesn't have either first-class functions or some form of closures.

> Proper tail calls.

This is an optimization issue for most languages, and they have made the trade-off of keeping a stack trace vs. optimizing it away. Having it in the Scheme spec was incredibly contentious and caused many heated debates.

> none of them implement macros ergonomically.

I think this really depends on what you mean "ergonomically." That's a weasel word in this context. Because there are two camps. There is the CL Lisp-2 that feels they should be allowed to use LIST as a variable in a macro so they went and created a whole namespace just for functions but are perfectly fine with the ugly GENSYM hack. Then there is the Scheme camp that failed to come up with a suitable hygienic replacement for DEFMACRO for like 20 years. Macros have been broken in LISP world longer than most of us have been alive.

> React where you'll have huge config objects passed

Not sure what you're referring to here. A/B testing is a thing. Can't do that with macros. Hydration is also a thing, because of SSR. Maybe you're seeing that?

> REPL-driven development, type errors are almost non-existent in practice

ehhhh. No. And I say this as someone that generally prefers dynamic over static typing. You can easily have objects in your REPL that were the result of previous bugs and get your app in an inconsistent state. You either reload, or spend your entire life cleaning up memory and hoping you get it right. There is no silver bullet here, despite what others have commented on. Because you're talking about schema migrations here. Bad data structures have to be transformed to good data structures. Or you'll see bugs in the REPL that aren't actually bugs in the source. Keeping the REPL and source in sync is also tedious, to put it mildly.

Look into Erlang does and what is required to get live code swapping correct. It's a headache that is only worth it in very niche apps (like massive telecom systems). It doesn't make sense doing this during development. Much saner to just reload and start from a fresh, consistent point. Otherwise you will spend time hunting down bugs that do not exist outside your REPL.
That can't possibly be true. If nothing else, it's erasure of adoptive parents, or mothers who didn't give birth, among which gay married couples are overrepresented. I realize there is infighting and factionalism even within minority communities, but come on, this stuff doesn't ring true. I've never heard someone called a birthing person outside of a joke.

For what it's worth, in support of the original comment's claim, I just dug around the Pixelbook documentation all over the place and I can't find any mention of the motherboard. But it doesn't seem they renamed it to "mainboard" or "birthing person board." They just dropped it from the specification completely and don't tell you anything about what kind of motherboard you're getting.
Cloud is inevitable when everybody wants to use mobile phone to control their home. Reminds me the Tesla car unlock from mobile phone incident.

However, cloud is not the problem, the control and lock in of the cloud is. The future will lie in personal cloud for everything. This again is the resurrection of centralization vs. decentralization of everything on internet, the original promise of internet.
This is basically a semantic debate, but I guess this all is anyway. I don't disagree with the pattern you are describing, but I would describe it a slightly different way. There are people getting offended on the behalf of other people who potentially might get offended. Even if this second group never materializes or doesn't even exist, that first group is still getting offended on their behalf.

Basically I don't believe that "precaution" you mention is an apathetic but cautious person. These changes are more often motivated by someone who thinks "this might offend someone so I will take offense to it too".
i prefer not to pay for my own exploitation and being psychologically mindfucked by propaganda. i don't want to give money to Hollywood millionaires and the expensive product advertisements that classify as movies today
I’d focus on getting fruit, vegetables, legumes, fiber, and everything that comes with it back into the western diet before I’d look at animal fat as the silver bullet we’re missing.

Too few animal products doesn’t seem like the thing the SAD is missing, either.
Cool - this paper has 3 conclusions:

- Static type systems are an effective form of documentation

– Static type systems reduce the effort to fix type errors

– Static type systems may not be helpful in preventing semantic errors

It would have been awesome to have evidence for #3 but even just #1 & #2 could be useful, albeit to a much lesser extent. Could we quantify by how much?

It’d be important to quantify because if static types mean a developer can be done sooner, then they have spare time to spend improving the software. So do these differences with static types translate into benefits for the developer?

The author of that paper says no. He published this other paper just after that one: https://www.ics.uci.edu/~jajones/INF102-S18/readings/23_hane...
On the first donation you're expected to have an average level, and thus not to increase the pfas level of the recipient. On all subsequent donations you're expected to be below average and thus reduce the level of the recipient. So I think them being careful is clearly not hypocrisy here.

Flexport does! It stood out to me when I interviewed here.
That's just a silly approach to life, sorry.

You're stuck in an office with other people 8 hours per day, you might as well make friends. Over a working life of 40 years that's 40 x 45 x 5 x 8 = about 8 full years of your life.

And no, those people don't have to be your direct teammates, especially in bigger companies. Just look for compatible people.

Relationships are based on proximity, heck, even most marriages start like that: highscool classmates, college students studying the same thing, co-workers, neighbors, whatever.
That's gonna leave a mark...

I would not be surprised if the ads are placed at the current price tier, honestly. It wouldn't technically be lying; they're delivering a cheaper tier with ads, and a more costly tier without ads, just like they said they would! It's just that "cheaper" in this case would mean "cheaper than the new higher subscription tier", not "cheaper than the previous model".
Probably because it's intended for use as a "data courier" like Johnny Mnemonic himself, hence the "MNEMONIC" on the wings. And the movie is from 1995; the story is from 1981.

I find it interesting how we're coming up on actual 2025, and if he wanted to smuggle 320 GiB of information with his body, Johnny needn't risk his life or his childhood memories; he could simply swallow a condom with an SD card in it. I still want a SinoLogic 16 with a GPL stealth module, Sogo-7 data gloves, a Burdine intelligent translator and Thomson eyephones, though.

Check out this video uploaded just recently: [Health department refuses to define ‘woman’ in Senate Estimates](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX_1QNXgjDM). Australia's own health department struggle and eventually refuse to answer the simple question. Look at how uncomfortable they are with such an innocuous request.

On similar trends, we are seeing institutions such as the ACLU post tweets like this: https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1439259891064004610?s=20 . It's a tweet of a quote by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But the ACLU has decided to replace the word "women" with "people".

So yes, we are moving into a brave new world.
> I realize that we're lucky we don't live in a racist clippy alt reality

If someone is being racist, wouldn't we arguably be better off if they used language that made it transparent to the reader-- rather than disguised it with the magic of search and replace?

Real prejudice can't be erased by search and replace but it can be made more plausibly deniable.
I think it's not just canceling their "best" shows. They have lots of data on what people watch. Rather I'd say that when you cancel shows people love whether or not they have great ratings you're creating a lot of brand damage that is not accounted for. I think this latest price increase really tipped that over the edge for plenty of people that weren't getting much use from Netflix.

Price increases bring increased scrutiny on the value of the service compared to just hiding as a monthly $15 charge or so amongst a sea of subscriptions that products are sold as.

This is anecdotal but this is my experience. I used to love Netflix and though maybe they didn't have the most shows they had shows I realllllly wanted to watch. Now? There is so little that I care about and the positive brand sentiment is gone. Great shows that I became attached to were canceled so regularly that I am truly not interested in investing time into their shows. Not all shows should go on forever but then you might as well commit to making everything a limited 2 season series and be honest about it.

I actually canceled Netflix and had not had it for a year before the pandemic (where I gave in) but I think many people in this economic environment are finding it easier to give up a TV subscription to a company that produces _mostly_, mediocrity.

It truly has been interesting to watch a giant brand so committed to their own internal analytics that they've lost so much of their brand reputation.
Thank you. So, "security" is System Integrity Protection, a feature of macOS, and "downgrading" merely means disabling it. Sounds like a great big nothing burger.

I'm in DGO. It's a great place to do all the outdoor play.

I like that there are better paying jobs able to be out here on the edge of the desert, but it's really hard to live in places where short-term rentals are combining with folks like me moving into the community. I will never be able to afford a place in town for sure.
I saw someone using it on the top of the parking garage at Disney land. It just circled around but I found it fascinating to watch and am looking forward to when it can go down the ramp :)
I can't agree with this more. I find it extremely difficult to find something I want to watch, because I simply can't find out how to look at their entire library.

> Arguably, if the pre-requisites to the Ukraine conflict had analogs then, Hitler would have stopped expanding, on his own.

I’m not sure. Rationally, Putin shouldn’t have started the war; he was told Russia will get sanctioned to oblivion, which it did and is genuinely hurting Russia, and he should have known his forces aren’t up to scratch. Due to some kind of delusion he pressed ahead. Hitler may have done so too. For example, hoping that the western powers won’t risk MAD over a bit of Central Europe, much as they didn’t care much for Western Czechoslovakia.

Of course sanctions aren’t MAD; but then nothing is, and no analogy is very close.
Because saying this stuff is akin to vowing your allegiance to the party in authoritarian regimes.

Or repeating the cult dogma in a cult.

This isn’t about rationality or what is ridiculous. It is about proving that you are part of a group. And to prove that people have done insane things for thousands of years. Much worse than calling a mother a birthing parent tbh, but it shows you what direction we are headed.

And interestingly this seems to apply to corporations too. They too (probably because of management), want to demonstrate they are part of a group/cult.
I'm in the same situation (minus bot since I delete the app), but I interpret it as: Snapchat is for young people and I'm not longer young. To me it means they're not growing old with their audience, they keep reaching new teenagers every year, which makes them very valuable to advertisers.
This is true, although I would prefer to still test everyone for plausibly important things to feed data analysts who might eventually discover something useful.
That wastes more space than a horizontal scrollable grid that’ll go back and for with the mouse wheel. Even Netflix large rectangular preview boxes still fit more shows.
That's how Americans view Europe, yes. "The user lives in Switzerland so they speak both" :) in reality there's German-speaking Swiss and French-speaking ones. In fact there's even Italian-speaking ones but they don't usually make the cut for services like this. The division is pretty much divided by region and heritage. They will technically speak both but will not prefer to. Also besides the languages there's also a cultural difference. And Swiss-German is quite different from German/Austrian German too but let's not get into that.

Just bunching all the content "because your country is .ch so you will like all of this stuff" is such a typical American oversimplification.
Article summary: "I care about gay rights because I'm gay, but I don't care about trans rights because I'm not trans."

The author would probably take issue with people assuming that his spouse is female. He wouldn't entertain for a second that it creates a burdon on other people to not assume he is straight as if such a thing is upending society's established paradigms of gender and sexuality. So why do we accuse trans people of being such a burden on us when they simply want to be considered by their self-identified gender?
