"3990 Old Town Avenue, San Diego" is permanently burned into my brain. I was finally in that neighborhood about 10 years ago and visited the shrine myself, even though any evidence of the company there is long gone now.
I mostly skimmed the post but seems they’re using “debugging” as more the process than a specific debugging tool?

However, a contrary example to your point about being “able to understand code even without a debugger” is using a dev console in web browser to ‘debug’ html/css/js etc. Depending on the role that _could be_ considered an important skill (a specific case being examining http status codes).
One year ago I migrated from Android to iOS and used iCareFone for WhatsApp Transfer to do the migration processes. It worked perfectly.

It’s a subscription software, so I signed up for 1 month, did the migration, and then cancelled my account.
Just to point out it's not simple and any differentiating characteristic could be not only different levels of net negative, but could also be net positive, even something like the absense of a capability.

Lack of a facility seems like it can only be a net negative, almost no matter what the facility is, but life is not simple like that and there could be any number of processes by which an ability creates a net liability in some context or environment.

A crude and not to be taken literally please example would be something like the ability to imagine comes attached to an increased level of distraction or inattention. Maybe the insights and creativity from the imagination pays enough dividends to be worth more than the occasional accident costs, or maybe in some environment the accidents or missed observations cost more.

And the effects from posessing or not posessing any given trait, including an ability, could be something like 600 different positive effects and 600 different negative effects, and they all weigh differently, and most of them no one can even guess at let alone quantify, making it as good as pointless to try to talk about.
Maybe start with a good book or two to see if you're actually interested. Crafting Interpreters (https://craftinginterpreters.com/contents.html) might be a good intro--yes, it's about interpreters, but there's a lot of overlap between creating an interpreter and creating a compiler.
Adults are not often rational when it comes to real vs percieved risks of crime. Tons of bias there. If you look at the actual odds your kid is probably just as likely to experience some crime living in the suburbs vs an urban area.
EDIT - "plausible speculation" replaced with clear quote from the article:

> ... Whole body exposure was at a SAR value of 4.0 W/kg for 5 h daily for 12 weeks for six randomly allocated mice. The other six mice received sham treatment for 12 weeks. The sham treated control groups were kept under the identical environmental conditions and treated the same circular pattern as the RF-exposed groups without RF-EMF exposure. The sham-treated and RF-exposed mice could move freely in their cage....

So the exposure is definitely whole-body.
The article is an inflammatory polemic, it's not making claims to be "unbiased".

It's a little tricker than that. A good explanation is here:

> What Macrovision does is to introduce false synchronization pulses followed by false back porches at a very high voltage level (~15% over white level).

SAR is sort of a "maximum power density" measurement. It's not claiming to expose your entire head to that power density, just a small ~10 g measurement portion.
I know of no natural virus that discriminates based on race and I suspect it's really hard to find a smallish set of genes that let you discern, say, Europeans from Russians with high accuracy. I'd like to see some papers about gene-targeted viruses, because I don't believe that they're realistic.

The idea that we are communicating largely via body language and facial expressions is so absurd I had to look it up.

The person who this is attributed to is Albert Mehrabian. According to wikipedia it is more related to the "liking" of the person who puts forth the same message delivered with various vocal tones with photographs of various facial expressions, etc.

I'd put my bet on the mechanism being simple heat. That never seems to be controlled-for in these high-energy non-ionizing RF experiments.
If you’re not sure you can deliver something, don’t commit to it. Instead, provide confidence levels, increase confidence by doing the riskiest bits earlier, and give frequent status updates.
Sure, but the ISP has to pay for transit, too. You aren’t going to be able to get settlement free peering as an ISP like that.
Similar. I miss Android for its technical features, but Google has turned the typical experience adversarial, like it’s all just an elaborate marketing vector. Apple’s ecosystem remains a proprietary dystopia, and its software is bafflingly inadequate for all the hype, but at least the business model is transparent.

> Also, by Apple eventually abandoning backwards compatibility, it was able to migrate Macs to different better processors four times.

68k -> PPC actually did not break backwards compatibility at all. They realized it they had to make it good for the transition to work, so they built emulation right into the OS. A well-behaved app made for a 1984 Mac will run unmodified on the last version of old Mac OS, and on Mac OS X up to 10.4 under the Classic environment, that's over 20 years of compatibility. Apple could have maintained this level of compatibility until today, but they choose not to.
To your experience I wonder if some of these low-code/no-code platforms are succeeding because of successful salesmanship and networking rather than technical merit.

Similar to how vendor A can wine and dine the right person from firm B to get the firm to adopt vendor A's tech, rather than having the right internal people vet the solution.

It isn't the developers that are pitched. It is the people over the heads of the developers, this seems to be crucial.

Determinism in ARC vs. GC discussions is probably more of a reproducability thing. With ARC, a program will always free memory in the same spots in the same way whem running on the same input. In most GCs, this is not the case. Their behaviordepends very much on external factors like passed wall clock time or system-wide memory pressure (e.g. if it rns collection whem requesting more memory from the OS failed).

This kind of GC behavior can make bugs relatedcto external resources much harder to find. And benchmarking an allocation heavy program with a nondeterministic GC can be hellish due to the increased distribution of measured runtimes.
Some day, probably. But right now others have pointed out that this system is actually only 1.8% efficient as the 60% figure was just loss from antenna to antenna, but the initial input was almost 100kW!

And I don’t know much about this but it seems shooting high energy beams of radiation everywhere creates other issues.

It's interesting that you can get the decryption key on iOS but the only way to do it on Android is to root your device.
It's fair to wonder, and it's an interesting project. I think the main difference is Libya is very flat compared to the US, so a lot of the construction is easier. The main caveat to their approach is that "the aquifer could be depleted of water in as soon as 60 to 100 years."
I think it’s poorly phrased and overly specific in how the conversation should go. The mistake of the individual is committing to something that perhaps wasn’t in their gift to deliver, and then failing to update when they knew they weren’t going to deliver it.

When you say "used" how long ago are you talking about and for what types of loads?

I saw Java rewrites running circles around C++ code it replaced. It's a matter of tuning and picking the right configurations/tasks. Some things Java does really well, others it sucks at. If you need near memory access and have constant loops over arrays of objects then Java will be slower than that when compared to C++ because of the memory layout (Valhalla will improve that).

Network throughput is another weak point which amazingly NodeJS does better. Loom resolves that problem.

There's also a lot of choices when it comes to GCs nowadays. Java used to be a dog on large memory heaps. This is no longer the case with Z, G1 etc. but it's very possible you hit a problematic spot.

One of the nice things about GC performance is that you can connect a monitoring tool to a production server and optimize memory performance by viewing actual usage. Monitoring and observability in Java is at another level entirely.
I work within an organization resembling this, and yet it has remained profitable for multiple decades. I forever wonder when the technical naked short options[0] will get called, but they never have in a serious way. My suspicion is that the chaos is S.O.P. among peer companies, so the market has never experienced a competitor not so hobbled. It may also be that controlling chaos is so expensive it's a non-obvious competitive advantage not to do so.

[0] technical debt is when you have a plan to pay it down. A technical naked short option is when your plan is to hope the subsystem goes away before its deficiencies have catastrophic effects.
Quoting from the article:

> In terms of a possible thermal effect, we confirmed that exposure to RF-EMF in our system could not affect mouse body temperature as shown in Fig. S2. … There are few reports resulting in thermal effect or thermal damage to anesthetized rats after magnetic field (MF) or RF exposure, respectively.
According to the article thermal effects of the RF exposure were minimal to nil. There was evidence of damage to brain cells that was attributed to RF exposure. However mechanisms leading to damage within the cortical neurons aren't clear. The RF exposure induced intracellular responses to stress and damage to myelin sheaths, the latter was thought responsible for observed hyperactivity.

PDF is just as good in the sense of being able to represent the documents people want to (arguably better, if only for transparency, compression (including JPEG), and (usually!) the ability to search for and select text). PDF does have many other additional features that people disagree on the value of, many of which are not supported by most PDF viewers. Being a full programming language, PostScript is technically much more powerful in many ways, but it turns out that's no longer very useful for most purposes (computers are much more powerful*, storage is cheap, networks are fast, most documents are viewed on screen, etc.).

* I've heard of people writing programs in PostScript to take advantage of printers' fast vector processors instead of running them on (at the time) comparatively slower PC CPUs, a bit like the early days of GPGPU.

On the other hand, from The Early Chinese Empires: Qin and Han:

During this feast those who had reached the age of seventy were given imperial staffs and fed by hand with rice gruel (on the assumption that they had lost their teeth). The staff had a model of a dove perched on its top, because the dove was said to never choke

It is more subtle than this. Systems programming sometimes involves a resource life cycle that has semantics that map neither to a GC nor RAII/ARC. This is because systems programming often involves the direct management of hardware resources, like storage.

For example, while resource acquisition and release may be deterministic, there is no implication that a released resource may be immediately reused or reacquired. This is not pattern most software engineers are used to. The reason for this is that hardware may hold a lingering reference to a software resource even if the software does not -- and hardware doesn't use reference counters or destructors. An arbitrary amount of time may pass between a resource being released in software and that same resource being available for reuse again in software. Many people new to systems engineering make the mistake of reusing a resource that was released but not reusable.

Systems programming languages don't just ensure deterministic release of resources, they also need to provide a way to express that the hardware may hold references to objects the software has fully released such that it isn't really released. This is not something the average programmer has to deal with, but this is part of what makes systems engineering different.

With new products of today it might actually be such thing, there is many products, that do not have any official software recovery, eg many Android phones or consoles, so nowadays causing bug that would bootloop or crash your software means basically that you need to service it or throw it away if it's not supported or out of warranty
This.

I recently installed Chromium via apt, and it actually installed the snap!

I mean, if I wanted the snap I'll use the snap command. If it's not available via apt just say so and quit. I don't want it to install the snap version when I asked for the apt (.deb) thing.

In this particular case the means to the end matters.
Only if you believe climate change defines this generation.
I would argue that resources need always explicit handling, no matter whether you do reference counting or GC. So if I do a one-liner to dispose an object or call delete on an object is the same beauty. Wait till the variable is out of scope together with many more or hit the GC cleanup is just not the right way to clean up externally resources in a proper way.

Not directly, but having a lot of IP in the game makes a company much more interesting for investment and acquisition. It's viewed as an asset even though it's open source. RedHat has successfully mainstreamed some of their IP like systemd which is now practically everywhere, where Canonical has tried the same with UpStart in this case and failed.

This makes RedHat somewhat of an 'authority' on Linux. And indirectly, they have been making it harder to get official versions without paying, like what they did with CentOS.

Almost all of this is... Not accurate. It pains me to say it, but this reads like Hollywood fiction. Most groups of people weren't living under constant threat of starvation or violence. Groups that badly located, or that badly divided, didn't tend to last. Additionally, if you're living in high stress, births become less successful.

>With ARC, a program will always free memory in the same spots in the same way whem running on the same input

It's true for pure single-threaded functions but I doubt it's 100% the case for asynchronous code which depends on side effects (user input, system events, async I/O): a slightly different timing and your reference count is different from the previous run, and as a consequence your object trees are deallocated differently, and in different configurations, each time as well. But it's only a problem if objects are shared between threads, though.

Even with single-threaded code, a random change to your codebase which increments a reference here and there can invalidate all your prior assumptions and have a ripple effect on the entire system.
