Scheme is not what makes SICP challenging. The sheer density of concepts is.

HtDP is a bit repetitive and gets a bit boring over time.

While some things overlap, I would recommend to first work through HtDP (or better through this online course https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dEjIUwSxSNcW4PqNRQW8w/abo...) and then work through SICP - especially if you try to learn programming by yourself.

AIUI, those are terminal emulators. Programs that let you attach to a text session on the same or another computer.

Terminal emulators are programs that emulate terminals. "Terminals" are a type of hardware. A screen and a keyboard that attach over RS232 serial links, running at maybe 9600 bits per second -- a really fast one might do, ooh, 19200bps -- to a computer. They can only display text.

(Graphical terminals existed but cost as much as a quite nice car at the time, and so remained rare.)

The clever thing in this WordPerfect version can display a "graphical" print preview on a text-only terminal.

This is trivially easy in software, but a pretty amazing feat of coding on dedicated hardware.

What exactly do you mean by this? Because this sounds like the exact opposite of the problem AI has — logic is the easy part, and has been working in machines since they were clockwork and punched cards and is the foundation for 100% of the functionality of modern computers, but natural language comprehension is only just starting to be possible now, and only at a fairly rudimentary level.
> EUropean here.

This is like the pot calling the kettle black.

Europe raped the rest of the world for nearly 500 years: the British Raj, the Belgian Congo, the Opium wars, the race for Africa, Apartheid are but a few examples.

Europe created modern chatel slavery.

Europe started the WWI and WWII.

Europe birthed Nazism and Communism.

Many of the problems we currently face are the result of European meddling: from the Sykes-Picot agreement, to Iran, to African civil wars.

The US has been a far more benign superpower than (collectively) Europe ever was.

UPDATE:

Even racism (scientific racism) is a European invention, mainly to justify why it was good for Europeans to subjugate the rest of the world.

For this to be even remotely possible, the infotainment unit would have to have direct access to the CAN bus which is certainly not the case (at least I hope). Most probably, the car expose some feature through an API to the infotainment unit but that would not include any direct control on the car driving operations.
"[D]esigners should have opinions on the applied technical solution"

He must work with very different designers than the ones I have, whose eyes just glaze over when you try to explain even in relative layman's terms how it works under the hood and why there are particular challenges implementing exactly what's been asked for. I can't readily imagine the quality of my code ever being improved by the opinion of someone who's never written a line of code in their life. Just as it would make little sense for me to have opinions on how to achieve particular shading effects or to improve the readability of a font or the optimum amount of negative space needed for all possible device dimensions in order to provide a rewarding experience for various categories of end-users.

You're right. I'm in the EU, my family is mostly teachers and all too often I find myself outraged at the lack of vision, the incompetence, the ineptitude of my countries' officials to address the decline. Instead they opt for implementing the fad of the day(so-called '21st-century skills', 'critical thinking', 'social skills'). 25% of 15yo can not functionally read and/or do math well enough to properly function in society. This has been growing since the 70s and it still continues.
This confuses the point with “doing work you may not want to do”. I’m saying there are multiple dimensions of finding fulfillment, with money only being a single dimension. The idea that anything outside that single dimension would be considered nothing but charity is telling.

- General startup ideas chat with people who aren't too attached to one particular view.
I have a fair bit of experience here as I work with many teams struggling with this.

The root cause I have found is getting designs done in isolation and then treating the Figma/Sketch/whatever file as a hard business requirement, instead of treating the user experience as a collaborative exercise that is a tradeoff between usability and feasibility.

> Lots of people are cancelling because they don't like the price

I think people are cancelling because Netflix gets boring after some time. When I first got Netflix it seemed to good to be true: So much stuff to watch instantly!

But after some time you realise that they use all kinds of tricks to make it seem like they have more content than they do (eg. different thumbnails for the same film), they don't have a list of their films anywhere, etc.

Their recommendation engine feels like it's written by a 3rd grader (you watched a Zombie movie? let me recommend exclusively zombie movies!)

In the end I just realised I rarely watch anything on Netflix anymore, and cancelled the subscription. I don't think the price was important for my decision, I don't even remember how much I paid for Netflix.
I’m not sure you know what 0 sum is. Zero sum doesn’t mean you can’t exchange money for goods and services.

> When I go shopping I give them a bill and I get something to eat. Both parties are better off after that transaction.

Yes, you go shopping and exchange N dollars for N dollars worth of goods. The net change is 0. That’s why it’s zero sum. Of course, life isn’t truly 0 sum. Otherwise we’d have no total economic growth, which is clearly false. However, how those economic gains are distributed probably is 0 sum.

As a user I want to have the app as isolated as possible and have the ability to grant it any system permissions I want. Perhaps combined with a store rule that an app isn't allowed to block unrelated functionality when it doesn't get the permissions it wants.

iOS has been quite good to me in this regard, although it still needs improvements (e.g. add a permission for accessing internet).
Zero sum doesn’t mean there is a loser to every transaction. It just means that the net total change is zero. You buy a friend a beer, and you get a beers worth of camaraderie.

IQ's whole point is it was supposed to predict how fast kids are gonna learn at school.

Software engineering is not easy but no profession comes close to software engineering when it comes to the sheer number of high-paying jobs it creates. I think much of the "alpha" comes from being truly cross-disciplinary - all jobs can perhaps eventually be abstracted away into code, including software engineering itself.
It will take a while to get a full picture of what is going on but the trends I've been watching:

- The UK has been sliding into political irrelevance for decades.

- Since around the mid-late 2000s, big chunks of Europe (like the UK) seem to have been sliding towards having much less available energy to fund their lifestyles.

- They shot their own economy during COVID, as many nations did.

They're doing pretty well to hold together as a political unit. I was worried it would be worse and I'm glad to be wrong so far.
Isn't that the US free speech ideal? Didn't the ACLU use to defend the right of KKK members to hold rallies for exactly this ideal?
This is not about the management engine. Microcode is part of the actual core processor itself, but an updatable layer. One sort off correct mental model might be to think of x64 hardware as being a RISC-ish processor that runs microcode that runs your code.

The key difference, I think, is that software is user-facing, whereas hardware no longer is. The bigwigs and bean counters who make the hire-versus-outsource decisions can tell that lowest-bidder outsourced software sucks and so don't go for it, whereas the outsourced hardware "works" well enough to ship, so they keep outsourcing it.
Okay, let's assume there's total economic equality between Americans and Chinese.

In China if you're the wrong religion they put your men in prison camps and assign a rapist to sleep in bed with your women and indoctrinate them into the communist party.

If you are in prison, China will murder you and sell your organs.

In China the labor conditions are so bad they have to install "suicide nets" in factories because so many people try to jump out of windows or off roofs to kill themselves.

America has MANY warts, but there's really no comparison.

Oh no:

> I have done enough research on production ML now to know that it pays to simply overfit to the most recent data and constantly retrain. Successful companies do this.

We all know that overfitting is bad (e.g. in time-series forecasting, the past isn't always representative of the future). Depending on your domain, more recent data may be more valuable than older data, sure. The solution is not to overfit to recent data!

In my experience, it is to design features which take into account recency. For example, in a particular quantity we wanted to forecast, we found out that using ~7 days worth of data was better than using multiple months, due to the data being non-stationary (the mean of the quantity was changing over time). What we did was combine features with an exponential decay with the appropriate decay constant, to great results.
"Repeat the line"
That's a fair comment. I'll try to do that for a future blog post.

I could probably write a detailed article for each particular feature. That would take some time. Thanks for the feedback and comment.

Not that I know of, because WordPerfect is still a living product, still being maintained and actively sold on Windows.

The only free-as-in-beer things I know are:

* WordPerfect Editor for DOS -- that was freeware back in the day. Runs in DOSemu.

* WordPerfect 3.5 for classic MacOS. Can be emulated on a modern Mac.

* WordPerfect 8.x for Linux. This is a graphical X11 app, the last version of an abandoned product line. I've blogged on how to install it, and someone posted my blog post and direct links to the install scripts above.

Because it's a living product, I suspect it's not legally feasible to clone it. Its owners might well sue.

My work laptop came with DOS and Windows 3.1. I bought OS/2 Warp for the pre-emptive multi-tasking I was used to on my Amiga. I was building a dBase IV app using two DOS windows. One day while I was compiling my app in one of the DOS windows, the WorkPlace Shell crashed. After a minute the DOS windows went away and a few minutes later they came back along with the WorkPlace Shell. My app was still compiling. I was impressed.
> This sounds like a medical claim that you should not be making.

You're going to have to explain that one.
From my experience. If you are a junior developer, you are screwed. If you are senior you have leverage.

Designers don't understand the hardship of developers at first, they think they can do whatever they want to you. You gota teach them. Threaten to leave on a conflict. Make them understand those roller coasters are hard on you. Teach them easy rules like: a dev gota finish what he started, some things are virtually impossible to do (spaghetto code is real), you can't get pressured to deliver every day, etc.

If you are thinking about work outside working hours for a long period of time, people are probably hard on you. On average a designer don't think much about work outside of work pretty sure about that. They drink, they fool around town and they get laid. As a developer you deserve that as well.

Once that's understood, from my experience you should have fun together.

Agree with a lot of comments here about more/better communication.

Depending on the size of company you're in there is a specialized role that bridges the gap. At Google it's called a UX engineer, other companies call the roll Design Technologist (DT).

DTs have a technical understanding of what's possible but work in UX and typically produce prototypes to assess technical feasibility of solutions. You can use these prototypes for stakeholder reviews, usability testing and they really derisk the build process.

We had a really bad time of changing things in production multiple times which would take forever before we started prototyping and practicing iterative design and design thinking.
