My comment is probably not super helpful, but after several years in javascript land I found myself exhausted by the churn and constant rapid change. I've found myself really happy to be using the PETAL stack (Phoenix Elixir Tailwind Alpine LiveView) where the pace is a lot slower. There are now similar options in Rails (Hotwire) and Laravel (LiveWire), and probably others. If you haven't heard of those, it's definitely worth a look. The only situations in which I don't use them now are when there's a need for rich offline functionality. I still have several static sites in Next.js that I'll leave in place but I've been a lot happier since shifting my bulk to PETAL. (I'm also close to replacing my last big WordPress site with an Elixir one!! Knock on wood.)
Justly the loss of freedom is the punishment and we should not try to subject the offender to abusive treatment but this is ridiculous hyperbole. An example of someone who deserves life imprisonment is Gary Ridgeway aka the Green River Killer who was convicted of murdering 49 but probably killed 90+ innocent girls.

Rotting in a small cell is better than he deserves and keeping him there is the only way society and indeed he can be safe. He is segregated even in prison not because of extreme risk he presents although he would certainly be a high risk if ever released, but rather because the risk that someone perhaps a relation of one of the many people he murdered would in turn murder him.

Keeping society safe by giving Gary a crummy but safe life doesn't make us as guilty as someone who lured and strangled innocent girls.

As a fellow CAT S41 user, I can confirm that the phone is basically invulnerable to dropping, although one of the rubber pads did break off after a couple years of opening and closing it. My compass doesn't work, probably due to exposure to strong magnets. Gps and cellular internet still work perfectly, I can browse modern websites and watch youtube without much trouble. The battery lasts forever. The camera is kinda meh and I regret not getting the variant with a FLIR camera.

If they can make the flip-phone variant hardy enough to play football with I'll definitely buy it. But chances are, my S41 will still be working by then ;)
We've deviated from the OP, but I wanted to mention that this is why react-table and react-query bother me endlessly.
>...there would be enough information out there that my precise location could automatically be determined based on me taking a picture looking out at the city from my balcony.

Not yet automatic, but the folk at Bellingcat are impressive at figuring out location from pictures and videos (manually, I assume).
Because a) I've used IBM buckling spring keyboards and b) I've tried a lot of them on displays at shops. There were also switch samplers on display, so I was able to do side by side comparisons.

My requirements were clear. Light, some feedback, not so noisy, which is squarely brown.

Caps were easy. Put your fingers. Write a Hello World code, see how it feels. Is it alright? Done.

I've used ~15 keyboards in my life, if not more. I know what I like and I'm looking for.
I don't think this is a comprehensive list. I don't know what the exact requirements are but based on the domain it seems related to Google Enterprise policies.
If that worked why would the industry not do this before they put it on the shelve?

Organic salad I can buy here (Switzerland) comes marked as pre-washed and ready to eat in many cases.
My point was more broad. We're not short on compute power in most cases, we're short on dev time. If you're talking low level microcontroller stuff, or bit banging, sure, do it in C if you like. In general though, I'd rather devs using a higher level language that gives them tools to deal with things like memory management and concurrency. The slowest code is the code that was never written, not the code that takes an extra 100ms because it was done in python instead of C.
Whichever books you choose, one thing I'd recommend is trying to find some good college that used that book and has their syllabus and schedule online. You can use that to get an idea of how to pace yourself through the material.

I've found that pacing is one of the hardest parts of self-studying college or graduate level STEM subjects. In many STEM books each chapter expects that you have a certain understanding of and are comfortable applying the previous chapters.

If you move on way too soon, you'll quickly run into a wall and probably realize you weren't ready to go forward, and go back. But there is a terrible spot between "way too soon" and "ready to move on" where you might not notice your struggles with the current chapter are because you aren't as proficient at the earlier material as you should be, and you can get mired down.

It is also possible to get stuck the other way, not moving on when you should.

When you do it right, you move on when you understand enough of the current chapter that it won't hold you back in the new chapter. This generally comes before you are fully comfortable in the current material, but are comfortable in the parts necessary to handle the new chapter, and using the current stuff in the new chapter will increase your comfort in the old material. That gets you learning new material and reinforcing the prior material when you use it with the new material.

A good experienced teacher will know about how long it takes students to get to the "I'm not fully comfortable with this but know enough for the next thing" stage, and the course pacing will be designed around that.
Yup, it is NOT just the pressure/surface area (which does apply to the top layers of the soil), but the total weight supported by the soil (which compacts the also-critical deeper soil layers).

This is just one of the problems of massive monoculture farming.

It is insanely destructive and unsustainable.

On a recent-ish trip to the midwest US, driving away from the airport/city seemed lovely as the landscape turned rural. Then, it started to get really troubling as we'd realize that the fields were so endless and unbroken, creating vast areas with essentially zero habitat for anything other than the farmed crop - from the lowly soil fungi to top predators - nothing. In many ways, far more unnatural than many paved cities.

Elon Musk and his ilk are 100% wrong about the "need" to continue increasing human population. We survive literally by extracting yields from the excess carrying capacity of the biosphere. At some point, we can exceed that capacity, and the result will be collapse.

This will occur like with any other population that outgrows its resources - arriving at a state where the population's needs exceed resources by 10-20% does not result in 10-20% deaths, but 80-90%, because the shortage is spread throughout the entire population - they don't just say "we're 10% over so you 10% take one for the team and die this month, sorry", but everyone is undernourished to the point of unsurvivability.

This is merely one example of how the entire system is unstable.

How is screen recording only of Zoom itself of any use to you?
Java optimizes at the method level and the majority of methods when writing an app will have constant types used against them.

Your method signature may look like

void foo(Iterable<Bar> b)

which would make you think of vtables and casting performance losses.

However, Java's JIT is fairly cleaver. It can tell that you always call `foo` with an `ArrayList` and it can tell that `ArrayList`'s iterator always emits a `Bar` Object. From there it can elate a lot of the type tables and virtual dispatch to just be direct dispatch. It does that at the cost of a couple of added runtime checks to make sure those assumption's aren't violated.

The impact of generics on performance has, for me, generally been pretty low. I've seen a much higher impact due to java's memory model (which is getting fixed with Valhalla).

This, btw, is how JavaScript's and indeed most high speed JITs function.

I think one of the contributors to toxic positivity is to try to head off subthreads like this.

I spend more time than I’d like adding in positive language around everything because people overreact to anything not super positive. So to avoid people misinterpreting my comments, Ill usually add in lots of “a+,” blue ribbon, superpowers, etc blargh.

I appreciate you writing your article and participating in this thread but think we’re part of the problem.

If people are better able to accept criticism, then we’ll get more reality. Until then, I’m more likely to comment positively or not comment at all on the very likely chance that the author jumps into a thread and spazzes out on me.

I think you were trying to empathize, but I don’t think a master’s in English is necessarily useful for the topics brought up in this thread. Without more context (school, projects, interests, performance) I don’t think there’s any correlation between masters in English and ability to read and write well.

Has similar research been done on bird song? It seems to me that bird song could also be described as ordered recombinatorial sequences, for instance the mockingbird takes the sounds of other birds and strings them together to create new songs.

> Everything I've read on organic farming and permaculture nearly always yields higher per acre output

You'd really need to cite some sources on that
Everything is a tradeoff. It's very easy to label things as waste in isolation.

The reality is pesticides and other crop technologies substantially increase efficiency of the land we're using. This means per capita: we're using less land (more back to nature), losing less crop (less fuel/maintenance wasted), and requiring an increasingly smaller percentage of the population to tend to crops.
I don’t think it’s safe to assume that people are doing that good of a job on the wash step.
I think they meant letters, in the video I only see him typing numbers from the phone keypad. I think they person you replied to is talking about T9/pressing-the-number-X-times-to-get-a-letter type things.

This was inevitable.

App marketplaces are great all around. Great for users - more functionality. Great for partners - easy access to distribution/users. Great for the marketplace owner - improve your product, while adding network effects that deepen your moat against competitors.
Google have been delaying reviews of apps that accept keys.

Go on, plug a keyboard (or use a phone with a qwerty keyboard. ha!) and try ctrl+t, or ctrl+w on firefox android to manage tabs...

If you are on any version past 78, it won't work.

I guess google call it bot-enablement-features. or they just really hate people with disabilities. ...it you remove these functions, app reviews fly trhu in comparisson.

thankfully they don't seem to impact keyboards which all still support ctrl+a/c/x/v... the day that is gone i will probably even consider apple.

I suppose they work mostly like the Power Wheels hacks but have no personal experience with the vacuum variant. YMMV.
Why would it be less thick? Each half still has to hold the same stuff - battery, screen, keypad, etc.

In my experience, the candy bar sliders I used in the past were thicker than flip phones.
The excuse to legalize all these pesticides and genetic food was to feed the hungry in the 3rd world. What actually happened is we are eating it, the companies are making more money and kids are still starving in many parts of the world.

I don't know if 24 hours can be considered "in advance". It is by definition, but usually in advance means I can take some sort of action to be prepared.
> Enjoying a film (or anything) doesn't mean it's great

If lots of people enjoy seeing not great films they apparently prefer enjoying themselves over seeing great films.

If so, one could argue there’s nothing wrong with suggesting people what they want.

On the other hand, if you replace ‘film’ by ‘nicotine’ or ‘opium’, many in society think it’s wrong to give people what they want, and that, instead, society should discourage their use, and aim to have its citizens use less of those.

Similarly, some people (e.g. some variants of socialist movements) will argue that society should strive to make its citizens enjoy those better films, food, music, etc.
NoSQL, NoMQ: Palo Alto Networks’ New Event Streaming Paradigm
It's a nice anecdote, but I've lived and travelled in various African countries and never been sick from consuming fruit, vegetables or pressed juice. I'd be much more worried about eating poorly butchered and stored meat. The idea people throughout history didn't eat raw fruits and vegetables is also quite wrong.

Again, after living in rural communities, they largely eat what they can get - which includes a lot of raw fruits and vegetables. Of course meat is important, but no more important than nuts, berries, tubers etc.
Yeah, I think this is the secret. For me, I sort of bounce off things if they're too procedurally generated, since the tech isn't there to not make things seem too samey after a while.

I like discovering my own stories, but I want those stories to be how I fought off a dragon to save a town, not how I went into a dungeon for no reason whatsoever and came out with some more treasure and otherwise made no impact on the world.
Not what I want in a flip phone at all. If I ever do make the switch to a flip phone it'll be to get away from all of the smart phone features. So that means no Android or iOS, just a basic feature phone "OS". Call and text only, no internet.
None of which contradicts that.
Hell, on r/starlink there are multiple users reporting that their fixed installations have had no service for a month+, customer support is completely unresponsive, but are still being billed.

Microsoft Dev Box is a cloud-powered developer workstation
Unix has gotten pretty far using just text and return codes. But there's no need to be dogmatic about it I guess, it could be nice to pass objects around, rather than text, like Powershell does. Although, their implementation seems quite verbose.

I think to really use something like that, I'd want a well-defined ordering for the fields and the ability to also do something like

variable.1

in addition to

variable.someLongFieldName

This could result in less than obvious scripts, but a shell language also needs to be compact, for interactive usage.
Duke Nukem Forever 2001 leaked
Good for you. I ordered a switch sampler online and 2-3 keyboards until I found one that works for me. It's hard to know what you'll like unless you use it for a few days.

For example I have a heavy + linear keyboard, I was originally disappointed by it but I grew into it in a few weeks. Now I love the energy I get from the rebound of the keys.
Wow, memory lane here. My first programming job was working on Symbian apps. I think I had a 1MB heap and something like an 8KB stack to work with. Good times!
On our farm we would use an attachment called a ripper. It was a series of blades that would reach down 18 to 20 inches to break up the soil. Behind each blade was a 3.5 inch diameter bullet shaped slug (called a mole) that would create an underground tunnel, not unlike what an actual mole creates. We grew carrots, so it was imperative that soil compaction was limited or it would stunt the length of the carrots.
What if chimps mainly gossip? How's that going to show up in the videos?
In the US we had victory gardens during times of war rationing. I personally grow one still today, but not everyone has the space, time and inclination to learn how to grow plants and preserve a harvest.
If it's like the extra button on my phone (Cat S61) you should be able to set it up to do whatever you like. I have mine set to toggle the flashlight on long press which is super convenient.
What sorts of programmers should be concerned about these matters? Page cache doesn't seem too important or interesting in my day to day app and distributed systems development.

Maybe it's useful if you want to make something like a more performant version of grep? (aka ripgrep?)
Sure, but if you don't do the first two, your risk increases linearly with the number of partners.

The relevance really comes down do what question you are trying to answer.

If you want to know what factors have the biggest impact on reducing transmission, you will get one answer.

If you want to know what populations are at higher risk and what are they doing different, you will get another answer.

I wonder why framework seems so much more popular. This product is a much better fit for me. I even prefer the fixed ports to frameworks modules. It looks cleaner and has all of the ports I'd need.
I can say without hyperbole that this job market is still incredible compared to post 2008 recession times. Especially comparing apples to apples at the entry level.

What you can do to prepare is just to keep getting better at the skills people are looking for.
I love Muse so much. It’s a very different way of organizing your thinking. I use it for everything. My todo list, my research, reading papers and PDFs, outlining bits of writing, shopping lists, presentations, trip planning, marking-up images/notes to send to people — not to mention using it for THINKING, which is probably the best part.

There are two components to the crazy asset inflation we saw after COVID:

1) The Fed increasing the money supply. This lead to a situation where there was a lot of money that needed to be put somewhere.

2) The Fed keeping the interest rate near zero. This meant there was no safe place to put all the money the Fed was dumping into the system.

Warren Buffet, someone generally regarded as being very good at estimating value, has said that near-zero interest rates can support near-infinite valuations. That's exactly what we saw play out.

Having tested dozens of Gallery apps, I have to say that I had a hard time finding one that does not do magic with my files, but rather uses the file system (directories) to organize it.

I have thousands of photos carefully sorted, categorized and synchronized with other devices, and Android's way of managing photos just does not work for me. Everything is messed up and ordered or grouped by some magic algorithm instead of showing me directories.

It seems that the app I'm using is somehow featured here now, but the previous version disappeared from the store? I'm confused and afraid of attempting any update because I don't want this feature to disappear.
