There are technical and political reasons. Among the technical were that Atom was the first app built on the Electron framework. On the political side, I think a significant reason was the fact that Microsoft bought GitHub.
If loan forgiveness becomes a common trend it will be used as justification to raise taxes. Personally, as a tax-payer. The money I provide is not well spent and there's plenty of bloat. I'd prefer to not pay more in taxes and for the government to cost optimize its budget.

My real gripe with the UI is that it exists in different state of growth, so hospitals are zones but dorms are rooms; I can guess why hospitals were crammed there, likely because the hospital has a stockpile of items and the room menu didn't have the code for that while zones, which handle stockpile, did, but still.

It's also a side-effect of his work on the previous game, where he got bogged down in graphics, etc, and couldn't even get close to what he wanted to make. Which is why it is Slaves to Armok II: Dwarf Fortress.
Thanks for making an interesting article and only plugging your site at the end. I don't mind submarine ads if I can learn something from them.
waves I don't hold the extreme position here of giving everything away and there's still a thing about how any such funds are spent... But with that out of the way - Where my money improves the society, I'm happy to give it. I donate, and with some exceptions I'm very happy to pay taxes. (then again I'm not in the US) If people both helped the current students and prevented the issue from raising again, then that sounds great to me. (i.e. if we don't just funnel the money to the companies that will continue and expect another bailout)

I guess I'm a kind of a man that wants everyone to succeed, and not be artificially held back by a bad system.
From the article it’s believed a large portion of the 200t is gold. In the 150t range.
Too many high profile community members basically saying that it's impossible to work with the core team on improvements, with no clear communication that there even is a core team left any more, and bugs in the standard library/compiler that haven't gone fixed despite being one line changes. Many, many pull requests with such fixes have gone ignored for 3+ years. No indication of any possibility for a superior FFI or at least a path forward for the evolution of the current one.

The language itself is still mostly fine, so long as you don't run into its limitations. I still wouldn't recommend it going forward for the above reasons, though. Too many warning signs and contributor goodwill unnecessarily burnt. Evan is a perfectionist and clearly has no interest in developing a feature if he can't see the use case for it (his response to negative numbers in case..of expressions was a classic example).

Personally I think it's all a bit of a shame, Elm is one of my favourite things ever in web development. I really, really wanted/want it or something similar to succeed in terms of major projects being written in it.
The entire government runs off subsidizing various parts of society that it deems important. Is that all corruption?
Screw it. Why not give every American 1 million in USD. People can work if they want to.
My favorite bit of advice:

> Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector beam, so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows.

How do you go about surreptitiously obtaining several dozen large moths?
46 million Americans have student debt, 148 million are tax payers. if you want to forgive 10k for each borrower, that is 3.1K from each taxpayer, assuming zero overhead (LOL), if you want to forgive 50k/debtor, 15.5k per taxpayer, again assuming zero overhead (still LOL)
For me, a single lat/long would be sufficient because I would only make a short voice memo in each file. But I can certainly understand that it would not be sufficient for cases with long files when you move during the recording.
I haven't come across FesZ before, but from your description I'd add 'Phil's Lab' as a suggestion if that appeals. Fairly new, but similar approach, lots of projects typically completed in a single video, no shying away from theory - quite refreshing having seen every EEVBlog video.
concurrency Next up:
a) there are plenty of cases where using e.g. a builder to construct a stateless component is better than having a straight up function.

b) it's easy to have a function producing HTML that isn't ready for re-use in your application.

Saying "It's just functions!" is really selling it short.
Yeah, imagine that, if only this became like an annual thing where taxes pay for universities, US could remove the middle man of the loan companies and join many other countries with a reasonable cost higher education!
The single biggest CPU usage in DF is the pathfinding algorithms, and making those multithreaded is complicated. Tarn himself has admitted he doesn't know how to do it well, and has left it for a later enhancement.

Other aspects of DF are now technically multithreaded if I recall correctly, but that's for sound and graphics and stuff that doesn't really remove the pathfinding processing.

Lots of the newer features like burrows, etc, are to allow the player to help the pathfinding algorithms.
The biggest difference to me is that the UI is different and more closely aligned to uTorrent which IMO is less good looking but a little more practical.

Personally I use transmission, but I’m not a heavy torrent user.
qBittorrent is in my experience nice as well.

I especially like the feature to download something sequentially, so that you can stream it via a media player, much like how Netflix or Popcorn Time works.
I don't. Most Quanta articles have this pattern: they pepper the article with quotes from famous professors and only mention the authors in the middle of the page. I suppose one could argue this provides context and is a kind of attestation to the importance/relevance of the work. But I don't think this is right.

To me, I want to know who the authors are in the first paragraph. They deserve the credit. The famous professor quotes should come later.
Not all loans can be forgiven like federal student loans. So I don't understand how this would become "a common trend"?

I've seen interfaces as obscure as DFs but requiring the mouse or losing type-ahead. Once you know what you're doing in DF I find you can often be running ahead of the menus (and there's not that many variations to memorize, very quickly you get muscle memory if you're playing it for any significant time).

File a FOIA request for voting precincts that weren't able to submit a consistent count at the end of the last election. If you're in a sane state, that'll cost you a single email. State FOIA is often very fast (in Illinois, it's 5 days). See what you think when you have actual data.

Well, it absolutely needs GOTO/GOSUB/RTS and so on. But it would be better off leaving line numbers behind. They don't add anything to the language, they were just a limitation of the editors on those small machines.

That's all you need, much cleaner.

Surprisingly taxes don't work this way. The federal government can simply write this debt off by paying itself. It doesn't have to literally collect the dollars from tax payers.
I think this is something people miss - the "build a fort" part of DF is almost an afterthought around the main engine power - the story generation. The whole idea is to generate emergent stories of the high fantasy type - and it works surprisingly well at that. I've rarely, if ever, read anything like Boatmurdered based on another game.
One of my favorite things about HN, is how, every once in a while, some obscure cool thing I have not hear about before gets pointed out, which, I find cool. But then, we "hug it to death" in the HN vernacular. Which is also really cool. Some neglected corner of the web that someone cared about, suddenly, a bunch of us nerds jump on it and recognize the nerd-coolness of it. I love that. Hope this was OK to say and not too off topic. I just love that.
Yeah, relations can be explained by combining words in most Hindustani languages

This phrase is somewhat equally translated in all local languages so people don't have to say "my maternal uncles son" which does the same thing but is much easier to explain and convey

I have this same problem! So I bought a phone case which acts as a battery addon, I have 4-5 of them. My phone is set to record audio 24/7 (both ambient and phonecalls), it's batch-uploaded to my desktop at home which parses the audio and generates crappy transcripts which usually work "enough".

That is nice, but not having to register at all is even easier.
In case it's not clear, I don't actually have any reason to believe that any election I'm aware of has has it's outcome fabricated. I was mostly intrigued by the parent commenter's assertion that it was impossible for the people in charge to just lie about an election since clearly it's possibly for them to at least try. I realized I don't actually know who has the power to hold them accountable, and I was curious if there was a definitive answer for this sort of thing (and although it likely varies by location given how decentralized election regulations are in the US, it seemed like the parent commenter had some first-hand knowledge of how their local elections work and might already know the answer).

Continuing the hypothetical you suggest, what would an individual actually be able to achieve if they did somehow get the evidence they were looking for that the vote count was fabricated? Is there some sort of civil procedure for contesting the vote tally? Would it require a lawsuit against the person or group of people who lied about the totals? Is there some sort of hearing where people can make a case that whoever is supposed to certify the count (e.g. the legislature) can argue against it? Or would it just be a matter of fighting in the court of public opinion to mount enough pressure to get the lying party to cave?

This is from Wikipedia article about the Mother of All Demos:

>The 90-minute presentation demonstrated for the first time many of the fundamental elements of modern personal computing: windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor

If those things were possible in 1968, why did most of us started to use them just in the '90?

Is normal to have that big of a gap between a technological demonstration and the technology becoming available?

These 2 are my favorite Asimov stories.
One thing that really annoys me is how keyboard hostile the apps, including Apple’s apps on macOS, have become. The apps developed lazily with Catalyst are probably the worst, but I’m guessing it’s a general issue with the newer SDKs like SwiftUI.

An example: in the Reminders app on macOS, using the Tab key to navigate from one input to another (like date, time, location, etc.) is so broken in the tab order that it begs the question if Apple has:

1. a development team that knows macOS and cares about productivity

2. a QA team

3. a QA team that understands keyboard usage, tab order and other navigation elements

I recall seeing similar brain damaged (yeah, I’m really annoyed that I’m using such terms in frustration) tab order implementations in Finder and elsewhere.

Some companies decline gradually before they look like a creature with an entirely different DNA, and that’s been happening with Apple ever since the convergence between iOS and macOS started. Doesn’t matter what the top execs like Craig Federighi say about the Mac being important. The user experience and user friendliness cultivated over decades has been eroding over time, and that’s sad to see because the competition doesn’t seem to be doing better either, though on other fronts.

Things weren’t completely perfect in Apple’s Mac operating systems in the past either. But it was close to getting to that, and I will remember it as “the golden age”. The M1 chips are phenomenal, but crippled by this cavalier attitude to software.
A/UX was that OS.

Unless you are talking about running Mac programs as separate processes directly on Unix, protected from one another.

They certainly could have worked, but would have been as different from regular Mac programs as what they did end up with. Ultimately, they had to "fail" a bunch of times before they admitted that what worked was what should ship, and shipped one of them.
Not likely, GitHub is a separate business and makes their own decisions.

MS also competes with GitHub also; Azure Repos are a thing, as is Azure DevOps and those are just two examples. MS has plenty of products that compete with each other.

In some spaces this is a good strategy as you will capture more market share with two products than you will with one and you can avoid to an extent monopoly claims.

GitHub Codespaces is what killed Atom and while MS was probably involved in the decision to develop Codespaces, the decision to sunset Atom likely wasn't explicitly made at that time; its simply a side affect as other things have eclipsed Atom.

When elections run close enough that the outcome is in doubt for days and hangs on a few counties, it doesn't take much to swing an election either way.

I think the scandal with the last few election rounds in the US was the notion that a foreign nation (Russia) was putting their fingers on the scale, getting away with it, and even succeeding to swing public opinion on a number of topics. And of course Trump managed to declare Putin a genius days before he invaded Kiiv.

Pensylvania, where this latest scandal happeed, was one of the states where the margin between Trump and Biden was razor thin and of course one of several states where the outcome was challenged. Considering that Trump lost that state you might see his point. But then of course there were other places that narrowly swung his way. Just not enough in the end.

With most of the election rounds since the Clinton era there have been states that were too close to call that used obviously flawed equipment and convoluted/weird auditing processes. Where the winning party appears very reluctant to address the serious issues in their state because the outcome suits them. E.g. the drama with voting machines in Florida has been dragging on for decades.

All this stuff just calls into question the outcomes of the major elections in the last decades. This stuff is disgraceful and the fact that both parties are working hard to ensure nothing changes is more disgraceful.

Carter called it almost a decade ago when he said that the US no longer has a functioning democracy. And that was way before a lot of the crazy stuff in more recent years happened.
