I haven't looked closely at the latest rust gui projects, but from what I remember most of them seem to be focused on code driven ui layouts, which I think is going to be a non-starter for anyone doing serious application work. View hierarchies and layout rules are too big and too complex to be maintainable via hand coding. Even a moderately sized app can have hundreds of custom views or components that need constant refactoring. You really need something like xml or json or whatever to build out that tree structure and easily visualize it.
I'm using empty stomachs figuratively here. You don't need an actual famine to enable the rise of fascism.

And it isn't always fascist authoritarianism either. 1910's Russia and 1930's China got the communist kind. 1940's Balkans got both kinds, but communists won the civil war.
I know no other existense.
Common to you means right? That was a good point, an olympic swimmer trains to swim not to explain how to swim.
Javascript is a script language that is being used in areas it should not be. In the context of the browser was ok. Node change the context but not the tool. When I was in the web development area it was horrible, new frameworks every week, every new one trying to fix something that javascript could not do "easily", changes with incompatibilities, etc. When you need another language (aka typescript) to fix (some) of the flaws of it...well it should mean something. I have always thought that javascript is a mess and sad that many developers grow with it.
The intolerant generally win, because they want one thing and the tolerant can handle that thing and the absence of the other things.

If only the tolerant could get as passionate and engaged as the intolerant.
I have no dog in this race, it's between Musk and Twitter.

Both sides have their arguments, I couldn't care less which side "wins".

The only thing I wanted to point out is that the best case is clearly Musk walking away without paying $1B. That's why this is going to court, a B represents a lot of zeroes for lawyers to at least get a taste of fighting over.
> On macOS ... going forward, it’s likely that new capabilities and evolutions of the design language will be provided for the latter [SwiftUI] but not the former [AppKit].

I think this is vastly over-stating the technical churn of UI development on macOS.

While we're definitely seeing new UI toolkits introduced that are Swift-only (like the new Charts.framework[0]), nearly every Mac app Apple ships is written using AppKit. For example, I just verified (`otool -l PATH_TO_APP_BINARY`) that Mail, App Store, Notes, Music, Xcode[1], and Photos all link against AppKit, and none link against SwiftUI (on macOS 12.4 21F79, which I'm running).

There is, in my opinion, approximately zero chance that Apple either:

(A) rewrites all of the UI in all of their apps, replacing AppKit with SwiftUI, in even the medium-term, or

(B) starts treating AppKit apps as second-class citizens by introducing a new design language only available from SwiftUI.

Yes, we're going to keep seeing cool new widgets and features which are only available from Swift. No, the platform's design language is not going change in a way that makes AppKit apps obsolete.

[1]I bet Xcode links SwiftUI somewhere for IDE integration, but I'm specifically referring to the UI implementation, parts of which have been in development since, like, NeXTSTEP and are certainly built using Objective-C & AppKit.
The amount of bandwidth you need depends on the number of people. 50Mb or 25Mb is probably fine for 1 person. As long as it can do 4k, and zoom calls, it's fine for most people.

100Mb might not be enough for six people, who might need to download, zoom, game, and stream all at once.
That's pretty ridiculous. I wonder if this happens to any extent with other rental companies. Googling didn't turn up anything but the Hertz stories and the articles I skimmed didn't mention it.
not really. The key foundation for fascism is totalitarianism which in particular includes that total suppression of liberties and democratic institutions. The US is far from it.
I took a pitch from a company early in the pandemic that was pitching last-mile supply chain/distribution planning/visibility by identifying clinics with refrigeration capacity from overhead imagery. The stats were ok, certainly not random.
OP here. I totally agree that ideally authors should report most of this information in the paper itself. One advantage of a standalone document (we suggest putting it in an appendix) is that it's easy for reviewers to check that all of this information has been reported. Of course, authors could answer some of the questions by pointing to the sections of the paper in which they have been answered.
Your inclination to disagree is called "bias".

The sheer mass of nukes is revealed by their cost. That cost is for concrete and steel, both with well-documented impact. The cost of solar and wind equipment is concentrated in high-grade material refinement involving very small actual mass.

So, your inclination misleads you, and you seek to similarly mislead others.

The effective opposition to nukes is based on thoroughly rational analysis of costs. Simply, by any rational accounting, nukes cost much more than favored alternatives.
> 1910’s Russia and 1930’s China got the communist kind

Other than superficial rhetoric, there is not a lot of substantive difference between Lenin/Stalin/Maoism and the common factors set of things that are more commonly referred to as fascism (Italian Fascism, German Naziism, etc.)
Why would they make them any good? They have no incentive to.

Are you paying them for this? Or better yet, how likely is the threat of you/us stopping giving them money likely to influence their behavior here? None.

This is partly why I use Linux et. al., and why I pay for email/webhosting.
Chromebooks are expensive? Do you have numbers? Unlike Windows or OSX where you need an IT guy for a school district, the chrome OS doesn't really require a full time staff. Generally if it dies, you hand the student a new one. Most of the work is tracking inventory.

No testing, no production, no app installs, no backups, no training (at least for students), no managing licenses, no maintaining a custom collection of apps, etc.

Would macbooks or windows boxes be plausibly cheaper in any way?

Seems like most highschools give freshman a new chromebook, and then offer to sell it to the student for $25-$75 when they graduate. Said laptops often live on supporting the student or the student's family. My kid just graduated and is quite fond of her chromebook. It's pretty low power (some arm variant), 4gb ram, pretty durable case, and I expect it to live on for a few more years.

Sure chromebooks can get gross, but that's really only a issue if you plan to give them to multiple people. The laptop we got came with a get to know your laptop card that showed you how to recover from pouring a soda on your keyboard, generally open, shake, and don't close the lid for a few hours.

Teachers can still use books and chalkboards, up to them. But using google apps is a useful skill and using them to turn in homework seems to work really well. The use of chromebooks during class was limited for my kid, but depended on heavily for homework, research, etc.
We are here with a tough challenge!

Cheepy was a project we thought about and shelved months ago. Now it's time to get it off those dusty shelves!

The team started working to finish it this evening!
It might be like this. It's already tremendous impressive how the Ukrainian people stood up to Putin.

But bombing so many civilians means after a while a tremendous loss as well.

It's just speculation and the hope would of course be Putin just getting out of Ukraine but Putin just has much less to loose besides his own death.
This article makes a number of common errors:

> “Instruction” here includes faculty salaries and benefits, and a typical faculty member spends around 40% of their time on teaching-related tasks, so it’s fair to say that universities spend 10-20% of their budgets overall on teaching.

Reducing teaching costs to just faculty salaries ignores a wide array of elements that I consider teaching, including:

-- Student tutoring/learning assistance centers

-- Graduate student led discussion-sections

-- Instructional lab sections, often taught by staff, not faculty

-- Salaries for librarians, who often help students with class-related research projects

-- Open access computer labs and other facilities necessary to instruction

Most classes at a university are more than just a few faculty lectures; a big chunk of "Academic Support" and "Student Services" should also be included in the cost of instruction.
> So we now live in a weird world of, everyone is breaking the law, who do we call on it?

Welcome to today's world.

This is the case, not just for corporations, but for individuals. Chances are near 100% that everyone breaks some law, every single day. This gives the State the power to prosecute you for thousands of offenses, if they so choose. There are thousands of laws, and normal lay people cannot possibly know about all of them. Moxie once wrote a fantastic blog piece on this I recommend reading: https://moxie.org/2013/06/12/we-should-all-have-something-to...

> For instance, did you know that it is a federal crime to be in possession of a lobster under a certain size? It doesn’t matter if you bought it at a grocery store, if someone else gave it to you, if it’s dead or alive, if you found it after it died of natural causes, or even if you killed it while acting in self defense. You can go to jail because of a lobster.

This is just one absurd example out of thousands. And this is precisely how the State maintains coercive power over people. Everyone breaks some law, so the State can pick and choose whom to go after based on whatever random reason triggers some bureaucrat's or cop's ire.
The down-side is you get to find out whether they would hire you again if you weren't already on payroll.
If you want to focus, you can't beat something like notepad.exe on Windows or "Text Editor" on Ubuntu, or something like that.

Why?

Because it is basic, but it isn't actively trying to be hipster or minimal or whatever. In the case of notepad.exe it is actively despised: who has said they like notepad.exe other than in jest? And they are pretty minimal on features. All there is is you and the words that YOU will be writing.

There is no meta-thinking about the editor. No "planning the planning session to shave the yak to build the gaant chart to start the project". You just start tapping the keys.

When I need to make a note and need no friction I often open a notepad window. Later on I decide "shit I better save this!".

Sounds like the project is doomed and you need saving? Maybe don’t return from vacation ;)
In my experience, it's not the degree that gets you the job, it's the research you got published in the niche you're applying for. The number of people with excellent publications in such a niche, but no degree, is awfully small.
> I would much rather have the govt provide incentives for there to be more than one provider.

In the UK, ISPs are forced to lease their last-mile lines to anyone who wants to provide internet service. This results in a decent amount of competition.
Indeed. It is a considerable oddity how very material the lives of us wealthy knowledge workers are, yet how immaterial our labor.

What's the point? It's not even possible for me to get what's currently defined as broadband where I live. Changing some definitions isn't going to give me faster internet.

Historically they haven't suffered much negative consequences when they shoot and kill suspects. And they have no personal liability.
I think you're misunderstanding them. You two are basically discussing two (very important) topics.

On the topic of fraud prevention, the interviewer could simply ask the interviewee to be on camera for literally 5 seconds, then feel free to turn off video.

Again, this is based on an Upwork profile that already had a picture, so if discrimination was going to happen, it would be before the video interview stage anyway. This is just about a verification step, and in a platform like Upwork, refusing to be on camera for LITERALLY 5 seconds probably SHOULD be considered a big red flag.

Didn't we do that with hubble? We built 1 hubble, but many more "hubble-like" spy satellites and found out about them when they were donated back to nasa to put toward civilian use.
Academia is running out of ways to convince people in that trap. Evolve already. I believe academia as we know it, is in stiff decline and the problems in CS are exarcerbated because of the faster reality of software.

Any degree, by the time you have it, might be deprecated or eroded to the point is pointless. If academia doesn't accelerate the pace between education/application, only wealthy people that can afford a lifestyle without income will seek them for entertainment and that's not sustainable to keep a society educated. The value proposition is just not viable.

Education has to go the tutorial way or it will continue to decline.
I agree that's a fact. What argument does that fact support or refute and how does that relate to my argument?
If I was your boss, I would be asking you the following questions:

1. Who is covering your role while you are on vacation? Hint, it's not your boss.
2. You are the lead dealing with a maverick. Are you sure that you are right on the technical points?
3. Have you documented your observations and team assessments?
4. If neither of these individuals are working out, what are the characteristics of the individuals you think the project needs? Are they within the company?

I'm assuming this is perhaps your first lead assignment? Your role is to bring in the project within time and budget and with acceptable quality. Your role is not to make all the decisions or write all the code.

Moving to a lead role is challenging, more difficult for some than others.

Bottom line is that if I were your manager, I would expect you to lay out the big picture, apprise me potential issues/delays, etc. If you don't do that, the project's failure is on you and you alone. Once you miss the deadline, run over budget, etc., I wouldn't care about your comments on the maverick, the copy guy, etc. Everything would be your fault at that point.
It's not the environmentalism that gets us. In fact even if there were no environmental rules or any other regulations at all, we'd still have Vogtie in the mess it's in.

Construction costs money and time. Metallurgy costs money and time. And on and on and on.

I doubt we could build a reactor for less than USD5 Billion even with no regulations at all. This stuff takes time, and if you don't get it right, the damn things don't work. It's not like they work with less efficiency, they just don't work at all if any one of a thousand critical things is done incorrectly. Then that has to be fixed, and you try again. And so on.

And keep in mind, that's for designs we are familiar with and understand. Just imagine trying to build and scale out the new designs. When it comes to the new designs, what is it that we don't know that we don't know? How much time and money will those mistakes cost?

It's about a lot more than environmentalism.

Put in layman's terms: "This stuff is just hard."

Getting rid of regulations helps some. Getting rid of the need to actually make any kind of money by making the government shoulder the costs helps even more. But in the end, you're still left with constructing a nuclear plant. Which is an extremely hard problem that is enormously expensive to solve.

So put yourself in the place of an energy investor, what's s/he going to do? Raise USD5 Billion to spend on the hopes that we can actually construct one of these correctly and under budget in under 10 years? Or just keep slapping up wind farms and start pulling in his/her generation fee in less than a month?
I didn't those explanations compelling. The cost of the design and development of the JWST was surely enormous, along with the design and construction of test facilities. None of that needs to be repeated for #2.

Just for fun, buy two IKEA flatpacks for, say, bookshelves. Build one, then the other. I bet you spend half the time building the second, even though you're doing exactly the same thing, by hand.

Reminds me of when in March 2020 I was also told I didn't know what I was talking about when I pointed out how a Covid vaccine could be made available in 6 months rather than the conventional 18 minimum times. The vaccines were available in 7 months.

The airplane I worked on the design of, the Boeing 757, would have cost at least 100 times as much per-plane if it was a one-off design.
If I were head of that project I'd trick some other employees into protesting defense department work. It wouldn't be hard.
Not an A list celebrity, but fabulously successful compared to most.

On the board of Chipotle. Owns some of the top restaurants in the world. Worth merely $700m.
Depends on the scoop. I would guess an actual ice cream scoop is around 1/2-2/3 cup since that's the serving size for many brands. My point was that they don't need to eat a sundae, or pig out completely. A cup is on the larger side, but probably still fairly normal (medium size at a shop, or 2 scoops).
Yes, USDA NASS. Sign up for the regions/reports you are interested in and they’ll email you them the moment they are published. Crop production reports are weekly during the growing season.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the term "broadband" is connected to things like subsidies (i.e. giving an ISP $x if they can provide y people with broadband) intended to increase internet connectivity in poor or remote areas. Increasing the definition also means that ISPs can no longer cheap out and pocket the subsidies.
Right.

By way of contrast, Bill Krause at 3Com used his HP discipline to push MOST - Mission, Objectives, Strategy, Tactics. So strategy is 2 down from M and O (in case it's not obvious, I'm not holding that up as a good example).

Wrong. The word should be forbidden to top executives, since its meaning is not universally understood and often abused. You should just say why it's the driving force, and leave it at that.
> Since my professional work includes high-end, complex video editing, I'm always chasing after the most powerful hardware Apple offers.

Well there's your problem. You need Intel, NVidia, and either Windows or Linux.
It is very relevant. It is because antivaxers created a violent and hostile environment that forces the opposition to become draconian.
I’d have thought CEL would have gone to zero, but it still seems to be hover around ~0.75. Tho there’s only 2m in volume. So it’s unrealistic that Celsius would be able to offload 600m worth.

But why would anyone be buying it now?

The hope that a) Celsius comes out of bankruptcy and b) they continue to honour their existing CEL token, seems a bit far fetched.
I ran one on a IIe in 1982, but couldn't reproduce it if you gave me all year.
It’s because you can’t have a reasonable discussion in an environment where the antivaxers are violent and hostile. The opposition is forced to put up a brick wall.
It would take massive social change to dramatically slow the current rate of climate change. I would guess that it would politically require about the same amount of time as carbon capture / reduction technology.

Out of the blue, I'm thinking that everyone on earth would have to use 20%-30% less energy on a daily basis to effectively slow or reverse the process of climate change. Technological improvement seems much more realistic, to me.
TLDR: "I don't have a CS masters degree and I believe that getting one is not worth it and you should not purse one either. But I have my own CS course to sell you."

Not a surprise to see the article ending with the author shilling their own courses.
The difference is in what happens to the rich people isn’t it?

Fascists usually collaborate with the rich whereas communists tend to strip their wealth. At least that’s my lay understanding.
Ideal world would be seeing the laws preventing municipally owned ISPs struck down. I'd also like the see the right of ways municipally owned as well, to better facilitate competition with new providers.
Does anyone else find that thing their website does where the paragraphs s...l...o...w...l...y... pop up one at a time as you scroll unbearably annoying? In my head it gives the author a really annoying voice.

No-one cares about you buying a console for one game and never playing it, you insufferable prick. You make me want to commit a hate crime.
I think CS masters degrees serve one valuable purpose. They are a gateway for foreign graduates to come to the US, work on their CS masters while doing TA work to reduce the load on the professor and then get a 27 month work permit .

In fact it is cheaper to hire foreign graduates under this program compared to a US national because you get to save on FICA taxes which are approximately 15k per year.

In fact many universities are already aware on this and have built coursework only masters degrees with no research required, as that provides more tuition to the university at a foreign grad rate and let’s the students graduate earlier so that a fresh batch can take their place.
It mostly funds indie titles, afaict, so I'll hazard to say they have less focus on compulsion.
I've had a website which hosts my projects (since just after the dawn of the web), it has always been a portfolio (aren't all personal sites?) but implicitly. All of that time I've made a point of never saying anything about myself. First because I don't think anyone would really be interested, secondly because it's none of their business, but mainly because I think the work should speak for itself. So plenty of text, but text which describes the work in question.

Just my take on the portfolio website: sometimes less is more. You want to know more about me? Invite me to an interview :-)
