> Moreover in many cases int * float is an intrinsic, so on the hardware level there is no conversion operation interposed into the operator.

Out of curiosity, what instructions support mixed integer/floating-point operands? I can think of integer-/floating-point-only instructions off the top of my head, and I know I've seen conversion instructions, but not mixed ones. I'm hardly an assembly expert, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if I just wasn't aware of such a thing.

Certainly not because of compensantion, but I switched to academia after 10 years as a consultant by doing a PhD in bioinformatics. I now work in a cancer research centre.

There is a serious lack of people with computational background in the field, very hard to compete with the market in terms of compensation. So we are left with the rare cases where the motivation of the type of work beats that, or the few places (e.g. Broad in the US) that actually have special consideration in terms of salary for computational biologists.

Going through a PhD is probably the one thing that would scare people away as compensation is usually dowright ridiculous, but as someone else mentioned you can find plenty of positions that will but require it. Pretty much all of the students from our Master's degree who don't even have a PhD find jobs in the sector.

> The Tim Hortons app asked for permission to access the mobile device’s geolocation functions, but misled many users to believe information would only be accessed when the app was in use. In reality, the app tracked users as long as the device was on, continually collecting their location data.

Why is this even technically possible? The iPhone app permissions settings has three modes: “always”, “when in use”, and “off”. I assume the second setting only allows the app to collect data when the app is actually in use?

Does Android not distinguish between “always” and “when in use”?

Wikipedia will be the absolute last to change the name due to their policies on names and a cohort of Wikipedians who really hate it when peoples/institutes/nations insist on deciding on their own names. Beijing got through back in 2008 or so (and Mumbai and Kolkata in 2003), because editors were apparently more inclined to be reasonable back then.

The smaller the place, the more likely old, nearly unused names persist. Dutch Wikipedia is the last place on the internet where a local village is called by a name no longer used for over thirty years. The article name cannot be changed (any change will be reverted within hours). The village, like most in the bilingual province of Frisia, has a Frisian and a Dutch name, but in the nineties the Dutch one was amended to match the Frisian one by dropping a 'w' at the end. Since then signage and use (Dutch language newspapers and other media, local websites, official use as well as local use) have followed and the name is decidedly, and verifiably, just that one name.

But the article name on the Dutch Wikipedia cannot be changed no matter what references you bring (because these get discarded because 'government sources don't count', and 'local use just means they use the Frisian name in Dutch'), and even on the English Wikipedia where at least the article name is correct, the old name is listed as its 'Dutch' name. Wikipedia has policies about names set in stone, and on the Dutch version those policies refer to a list published by an official Dutch language institute. That single reference lists the old name in a table listing Dutch and Frisian names for places, and so Wikipedia refuses to bend (which is convenient if you are a Wikipedian who dislikes our provincial minority language).

Wikipedia has, unfortunately, quite a few examples of such cognitive dissonance.

I too have been using a catchall email address since some time in the last century, and it's been cool, although the post is right when they say

> The truth is no one really sells your email

The reason I started doing this was to monitor if someone would transfer my address, and it's never happened. You also get more spam because every firstname@yourdomain works.

But the weird interactions are good! Last year I wanted to get my kid in a somewhat selective middle school (in France) and the fact that the email I was registered with was name_of_school@mydomain helped, because the principal was convinced I was and always had been a huge fan of the school, to have my email named after them...

People simply don't understand you can have more than one email address -- let alone a million. That's kind of fun.

I work in fintech saas and yes this has been an issue; my 11 year old x220 felt faster than the m1 when working on our monolith and services written in asp.net core and the docker services it needs. For everything native, it’s really fast. You really need to be careful to have everything native. With .net 6 which has an m1 target things are so much better. Same for the jvm, android dev and react native. Xcode is still buggy but we only use the tooling anyway.

In short; it started out rocky, but, if you are careful and use only native application so Rosetta doesn’t kick in, it is a phenomenal machine (I have the air); great keyboard, touchpad and screen, great battery life and it stays cool throughout a development day.

If you need x86/64 binaries, then these laptops are not a good choice; wait until there are m1 arm targets.
Exactly this. I read a great quote from Gabe Newell talking to PC Gamer[1]:

"Most of the people who are talking about metaverse have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. And they've apparently never played an MMO. They're like, 'Oh, you'll have this customizable avatar.' And it's like, well... go into La Noscea in Final Fantasy 14 and tell me that this isn't a solved problem from a decade ago, not some fabulous thing that you're, you know, inventing."

Countries can still opt to use an exonym if it pleases them, and when the local name is not in written in the Latin script a romanization is used, so Japan in your example would not be 日本, but Nihon or Nippon. As it stands, the Japanese prefer Japan, so it will remain Japan for the foreseeable future. Türkiye chooses otherwise, and that is fine too (although whether the change is just for diplomatic use or broader depends on how it is promoted in the decades to come).

I don't think there are "so many devops" jobs. Everywhere I've worked in the last 15 years, the number of people managing everything from hardware up to developer tools and CI/CD was tiny compared with the number of developers. Some start-ups dont bother with those people at all to begin with and regret it later. Then they hire a tiny team after years of neglecting these areas, and then expect the "wings on the plane to be swapped out during flight". Those devops people are casually expected to be experts in process (incident/problem management), cloud infra / infra as code, db config / replication, networking, security (IAM, SSO, network, OS), release / deployment, monitoring / metrics / alerting / tracing (not just deploying them but working with devs to implement observability in their code), dev tooling (code/artifact repos, every brand of CICD pipelines & runners) ... basically anything that isn't software development. They're also expected to be oncall for other teams in many companies.

Many years ago I worked at a large, old tech company where all of these areas had dedicated teams.

> If renewables were so cost effective, why are they always scheming for tax credits and subsidies?

Because they are competing against fossil fuels which we have and continue to subsidize the living hell out of. For example: How many loans did California subsidize for the replacement of old gas storage tanks that might leak? Think we might be better off if we had forced everyone who got that money to install a charging station or two?

What is actually amazing is that renewables really are approaching parity in spite of the massive subsidies that fossil fuels get.

With comparative linguistics, almost everything has an exception.

But when perhaps 90% or more of languages do it a certain way on every continent, one does wonder if our thinking tends a certain way. General word order is another an example like that. The indirect object, or patient, or similar category usually is not the first word in a phrase or sentence. "The dog I see" for "I see the dog". "The money him the programmer gave." Like Yoda's species. Only 1 - 2% of languages do it that way consistently, and usually for recent grammatical development reasons, not a long-preserved feature.

Similar story in phonetics. Nearly all languages have at least three stop consonants, usually p, t, k. Closing against the lips, teeth and back of the mouth in the (perhaps obvious?) positions in the mouth to make stop consonants. A few languages only have two of these positions. Some have four or even five, using the throat and using the palate, too. But >95% of them, all over the place, have at least the p, t, k stops. We aren't hardwired, I suspect, with that particular set of noises like we are with crying as a baby. You have to learn them all. It is cultural. Yet almost every culture has converged on at least a somewhat-similar subset. And a few have not.

There are multiple ways to interpret such results, but I lean to something like convergent and parallel cultural evolution.

As someone who spent thousands of dollars over the years on software instruments as well as analog and digital hardware synthesizers, I can very comfortably say that software does not get the full sound that hardware does. Additionally, hardware offers much more creative control in general, a tactile interface customized for the specific way it creates sound. The only downside is the hardware is it takes up so much space.

To get the same benefits of hardware in software, it requires a significantly different (for me, much less creative ) workflow, a very large investment of time, and you still will not quite get there in sound quality. But, at least you can take your whole studio with you on a laptop.

> > It’s often been said in this regard that fictional literature is the original form of simulation modeling.

It’s an old idea that lurks on the fringes of academia but resurfaces every now and then to rear its fuzzy head. I think I first heard it in the late 1980s, saw it come back in the 1990s, and then disappear until the mid-2000s when people started talking about it again. Google scholar notes that Raymond A. Mar (York University) and Keith Oatley (University of Toronto) were writing about it in cognitive psychology at least twenty years ago, but I suspect it’s a topic in computational narratology in some way.
