Which is particularly surprising considering that there appear to be like twenty contemporary artists whose paintings are neither random paint splatters, nor monocolor canvases, so you don't even have to spend that much time looking!
Many people switched to paid Kagi and swear by it. I wasn't impressed at all so didn't pay, then I ran out of free Kagi searches in a few days and switched back to DDG+Google.
Your last paragraph is pretty much why in practice the design specs go out of sync. The reward systems reward correct code not correct docs. Unless the team is very strict and code reviews doc changes.

Why should you type 3 commands in terminal, when you can type 1.
The title is very broad and with it's postulate hints at a massive overclaim, but this paper seems to explain something significant and interesting about how synapses work. None of which generalizes to "the brain" or "learning" really.
This is fine if you're the only person to ever touch this code. But if other people will modify the code you can generally not rely on them following your idea of "good habits"; therefore it's sensible to help them not shoot themselves in the foot.
Documenting the ‘how’ part, i.e. the documenting the assumptions that the author had on the context this code runs is important; you guess just enough by grepping calls to the function in the codebase, add add some code that works now… and then the original author or another person adds a call that breaks the assumptions you made, and breaking everything… subtly.
I'm not, Apple are just extremely inconsistent with the policy.

I've been migrating the Lexical codebase to TypeScript recently, especially since it was open-sourced. This was done for a few reasons, but if nothing else, we know TypeScript has a much wider adoption that Flow. Removing learning curves helps to encourage contributions from the community.
The only way to get good with people is to continuously put yourself out there interacting with other people. You can study about it day in day out but nothing will hone you more other than being physically there spending time with other people.

It's simple but it's not easy. You'll get awkward moments, sometimes even rejections (the baseline for being good at dating is being good with people in general), sometimes you'll have to reflect and unlearn a lot of your old habits. But keep going, life's short, lol.
Imagine having to pay for a service... at enterprise prices.

This is not really an extra or a nice-to-have, it might be more a hostage situation.
I loved my Motorola Droid. Tiny phone (3.7" screen took up the whole body !) with a slide out full qwerty keyboard. If someone was crazy enough to make it today with a snapdragon I'd be all over it. Choice quote from this review to show how 2009 it was:

> The Motorola Droid on Verizon is the first device to feature Google Maps Navigation. It’s a completely free service that offers 3D maps with voice guided turn-by-turn directions. The VZ Navigator available on most Verizon Wireless phones costs an additional $10 a month for use. A decent turn-by-turn direction App on the iPhone sells for a one time fee of nearly $80-$100. On the other hand Google Maps Navigation is entire free and is offers a lot more.

Right, and I bet the experiment was to figure out how many people would notice the missing email, and either complain, or start visiting the site more often. Of course we'll never know if most people are more like you, or would actually go to the site daily, if it weren't for the email.
They provide the parsing engine with better clues for the AST that is given to the JavaDoc agent (aka doclet), which allows to customize the document generation process.
I guess the boomerang or blowback effect applies to countries with either/or commodity or human resources. Easy to forget when you sanction and starve poor small countries like Cuba etc. and face no real consequences except for missing out on good cigars.

I think this is not about fighting spam, or abuse. The amount of social control that is created by tying online accounts to your person is staggering. Requiring a phone number, then a photo, or ID, is something that we only saw in China until recently. Now it got introduced through the backdoor in the West, too.

The other day, somebody here in Germany got visited by the police and had their phone confiscated because they "liked" a (admittedly nasty) tweet on Twitter. I firmly believe this has a chilling effect on society and we need an unsupervised space for free speech.

My company was paying $20 a month. We were heavily depended on CF, we'd have been happy to pay more.

But... the one feature we wanted was for our accounts team to have their own login so the ops team didn't have to download invoices every month. Nope, that one feature required an enterprise plan which they quoted $4,000 a month for.
I had read read that the US has sanctions on more than 20 percent of the countries of the world. Clearly most of those never mattered or had a potentially adverse future outcome over decades.

Yeah developers are now responsible for things formerly taken care by professionals in their area. The memory space i could use for better learning my framework is now used to store K8 tricks. The time I could use to fix some user reported bugs is now used to figure out Elasticsearch query parameters so it works properly over shards. No really, I can't imagine why this is such a good thing, diluting the programmer/dba/devops skills.
And all that map data sits on geodesy which come with their own bucket of false assumptions.

> The entire purpose of Javascript is that it's a "scripting" language, so having an interactive runtime is kind of the point.

If your use case is plugging a keyboard into your MCU or connecting a terminal prompt on the UART, then the MCU needs to be running a parser, yes. But there may be many real-world use cases where your "scripts" will be going through some kind of deployment and release process, and adding a step to compile them to bytecode is easy. But YMMV depending on what you need.

> not using malloc/free is actually a feature, not a bug

Microvium maintains its own managed heap which uses a compacting garabage collector, so that heap allocations there are fast O(1) and have no fragmentation. But it needs to occassionally get chunks of memory from the host/OS to expand its managed heap, which is where it uses malloc.

I agree that there are better and worse ways to use dynamic memory. I have more thoughts here: https://coder-mike.com/blog/2022/05/27/single-threading-is-m...
Yeah, it's hard to retrospectively unbreak commit history on legacy projects. Git notes[1] might be a possible solution, but I've not had that be particularly useful in practice (due to lack of support in various other systems).

Community. Crowd sourcing. Some transparency – as in “democracy” – in prioritization of the issues.
Based big thought here. It's curious that industry tooling is arguably plateauing around then, but it's also amazing that the database, er, SaaS is on such a long run, like from a diffusion of innovations way.
The double entendre is what made it so catchy.
The saying was first [1] and the company is now trying to rewrite history.

Another fun fact:

Morton (tehnically, Morton Norwich) made other chemicals as well, including rocket fuel. The fuels were marked up so highly, that - together with a company called Thiokol - they decided they could make and fly the whole rocket engine cheaper than NASA could.

Their first attempt at rocket building was the Challenger, which blew up less than two minutes after launch, and took with it 7 people, and the Morton-Thiokol partnership.

It has an amazing potential in gaming. For example, racing, which in R is too expensive for the majority, while the computer simulations are so close to reality, that the VR ads to the experience.

It is also used by architects when designing buildings and different spaces, so it can also be used in professional environment.

On the other hand, I think that all the meta thing is just corporate hype blown out of proportions. I can imagine tho that for some people their R isn't that great, or they will never have a chance to experience certain places in the world in first person. My 90 years old great-grandmother can experience Iceland only through TV documentaries, google street view or maybe VR.

This sounds like a Linux client bug (failure to properly implement the “intr” mount option), not the fault of NFS itself.
The realization I made recently is the financial incentive of the page view is the corrupting force that ruins search

The content producer is incentivized to make content as quickly as possible in as little effort as possible and cover it with as many ads as possible.

On the other end, it's within GBYs interest to be slightly confused; by not nailing it, the user engages with the search using different words, potentially hitting an adword and clicking. GBY could be convincing the user that they're just using it wrong and need to execute more searches.

So the financial cost/reward model is configured in a way that gives high margin to spammy trash covered in irritating obstructive ads and search engines that are mysteriously confused by what we ask for. And that's the modern web.

Finally we are taught to tremble in fear if we dare consider touching the sacredness of The Market. So here we are stuck with trash technology to search avalanches of garbage.*

Luckily there appears to be a few search engines that focus on sites without advertising and trackers and they seem to produce nice results

As stated by Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropayment): "One problem that has prevented the emergence of micropayment systems is a need to keep costs for individual transactions low,[2] which is impractical when transacting such small sums[3] even if the transaction fee is just a few cents."

0 fee solves this issue. I don't see any traditional system that does the same or better than Nano to be honest.
Mid 2000s one computer science professor said that internet capacity is not going to match the amount of traffic. Everybody laughed. The wold was full of dark fiber after dot-com-bust.

But if you look at his math, it was correct. The era of client-server connected heterogeneous distributed Internet is just a side show today.

The solution has been centralization (clarification: big companies run their own caches and networks near users). and growth of caches and then Cloudflare taking care of the rest.

Imagine you've put your soul into it, and some years later they tell you that you can no longer pursue your vision and respect your users, and you're now a mere executor. Your opinion no longer matters, and the fact that you have one at all is a nuisance for the new management.

I think it is the case that a particular art form can peak. Post-peak, there isn't much to do. A walk through the Louvre will show you that sculpture peaked some time ago for example. Pickled sharks and giant nipples aren't signs of recovery.

Classical music suffers from this phenomenon I think. There are just some stunning orchestral works out there which aren't ever going to sound dated. Nothing is going to make Mahler's 9th symphony irrelevant or incomprehensible in the next couple of centuries. There isn't enough oxygen in these rarefied atmospheres for more masterworks to breathe.

It's possible... sort of. The closest distance two identical planet-sized bodies in a hypothetical binary system can be together without destroying each other is about 2.5 radii, which is pretty close and the other planet would take a noticeable chunk of the sky. At that distance they'd be very oblate and tidally locked to each other; not exactly a world friendly to biological life, and won't look like your picture either.

If you don’t come to school we’ll put your parents in jail is an eminently rational principle.

To defend school for a moment it’s one of the least awful places many children experience on a regular basis. The adults don’t really care but they don’t hate the children. They’re not going to hit them. It’s a reasonable temperature. They often get food. I was horrified hearing one of my colleagues describe teaching in the UK. It mostly sounded like being an ersatz social worker. But it’s not like education is first or second in school’s priorities. Child minding is higher, why not social work?
“Recently there was given the overture to Beethoven’s opera Fidelio, and all impartial musicians and music lovers were in perfect agreement that never was anything as incoherent, shrill, chaotic and ear-splitting produced in music. The most piercing dissonances clash in a really atrocious harmony, and a few puny ideas only increase the disagreeable and deafening effect.” (August von Kotzebue, Der Freimütige, Vienna, September 11, 1806)

“Beethoven’s compositions more and more assume the character of studied eccentricity. He does not write much now, but most of what he produces is so impenetrably obscure in design and so full of unaccountable and often repulsive harmonies, that he puzzles the critic as much as he perplexes the performer.” (The Harmonicon, London, April 1824)

“Beethoven mystified his passages by a new treatment of the resolution of discords, which can only be described in words by the term, ‘resolution by ellipsis,’ or the omission of the chord upon which the discordant notes should descend.... Many of his passages also appear confused and unintelligible, by a singular freedom in the use of diatonic discords or discords of transition; many instances appear of passages by contrary motion, each carrying their harmonies with them.” (Musical World, London, March 1836)
