Why do you think so?

People are famous throughout history because they leave behind (or are associated with) big achievements which form a "node" in the history of science. If you prove them wrong, the node you leave behind is also important. Scientists (and most people in general) want do important work. There's also the scientific benefit that overturning a generally held idea usually precipitates a large amount of new and fruitful study afterwards.
Pre internet-enabled vehicles are going to be the new gold.
> For starlink, everything is fine, except that a few times an hour it jumps to the next satellite and the connection drops for about a second.

> I don’t think it resets tcp streams or anything, but it definitely makes Zoom and “live” TV streaming apps cranky.

It hops to next satellite more often than that. The satellites take about 90 minutes to go around the globe.

Most of the handovers to next satellite are seamless (maybe 10ms delay in traffic), but especially when they're working on the beta phase software the more routing-oriented parts of the system seem glitchy. Earlier in 2022 I'd lose Internet for a few tens of seconds every now and then -- but that seems to have been a bug in the routing stack that they since fixed.
> That seems like a more responsive mechanism

It clearly isn't. The power and knowledge asymmetry between producers and consumers is such that most producers can get away with abhorrent behaviour pretty much all the time with no significant repercussions. That's why boycotts don't work, among other things.
If they pushed or demanded it, it would definitely be another matter, but this was a simple, albeit curt, request, that doesn't even need to be met with a response to be honest, if the maintainer doesn't feel like it. I've seen far worse.

As for your example, I'm sorry, but I'm not impressed by maintainers who act like fainting divas because people don't use the right tone with them. That's just thin skinned.
So I’ll get only Disney+ for the price of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+. I cancelled Hulu and ESPN. I guess I’ll add Disney+ to the list.
> threads are strictly inferior as they have additional overhead by nature

In terms of performance, sure. But performance is rarely your only priority. A lot of the times you already have existing code that can be switched to threads with 2 lines of code. Instead, folks choose to rewrite the whole app in asyncio/nodejs because threads aren't sexy. Hey, I've done it.

But today I'd rather have inferior working app in one day, than a completely rewritten app in a few weeks, with a mental model that half engineers don't understand and don't have experience with. Maybe in a few years you will be forced to rewrite it in asyncio. And that would be the right time to do it: when it's a business demand, not when few perfectionists are annoyed.
Are there any known examples where evolution has produced a solution to a problem like this? I've heard of humans adapting to Malaria and lactose consumption in adulthood.

Also, are there any organisms that don't experience lead as a toxic substance, at least in the way that humans do? That might point to adaptation plausibility.
I don't think there's anything on the list I mentioned, other than the "working on personal projects" one, that conflicts with that. Augmenting their own capabilities increases their effectiveness at "solving actual problems in the company" in addition to benefiting themselves. It's their own choice as to whether they do that.
Yeah the main issues with visual programming are:

- Logic tends to take up a lot more screen space than real code

- There is no defined way to read the code. In real code you start top left and read left to right and down, but in visual code if there are lots of "paths" then your eyes end up darting around everywhere.
> Now that we've moved out to the city, she feels even safer.

Sure. Now she's the one making others feel unsafe.
Based off inconclusive evidence, I speculate that your name is Walter.
Speculation is a valid form of discourse and has a non-negligible chance of being accurate. What is the value in your attempted invalidation of such discourse?
Oh and the hyper-partisan part was you were taking a statement and contorting it into something no one was saying. This is strawmanning an argument so it becomes trivial to argue against.

It’s very, very often used to contort political positions into outlandish caricatures. Pretending the other side was arguing that we shouldn’t listen to 40 states because LA is larger is simply not what’s being argued here.
Sounds fantastic but is that information even publicly available? Sometimes new seasons of shows drop with little notice, if any.
Demand is partially driven by cheap gas. Cheap gas is subsidized by all kind of benefits provided to oil manufacturers, US international policy (ie: military), removing negative externality (increased insurance rate due to global warming) etc.

So I'd say that this is an artificial demand that is driven by policy. If people paid the "true" price of this worldwide oil infrascture, I'd likely be more expensive and big trucks would not be chosen just to move your family around.

I wouldn't talk about "clouds" as being limited by energy prices, as though they're uniform. Hetzner is much, much cheaper than AWS/Azure/Google. There's a huge amount of fat/gross margin that could be cut from the pricing of the big ones.
thank goodness we have these tiny technological devices called cameras, that can be installed in the front and rear of these mean bad trucks, so that the driver can see inside the blind spots.

now those poor babies, children and vertically challenged adults will be safe as safe can be... yipeee
There are cultural and legal reasons.

One legal reason is fuel economy regulations (CAFE standards) encourage car makers to make their cars large enough to be classified as "light trucks", leading to less stringent fuel economy standards.

A larger footprint also reduces the fuel economy standard, incentivizing larger vehicles.

> white people are shot by cops at a very high rate

If you think that cops target white folks then you must probably be an avid supporter of reforming law enforcement.
Using off the shelf tools was perhaps 50/50 when this was written. For a long time it was common for computers to come with company-specific OSes and programming languages. The high volume of the PC helped change that, but it was not overnight.
Because they are earnest. If your behavioral choices negatively affect others, that must be accounted for somehow, either through paying extra so we collectively can deal with the fallout, or banning it, if it causes too extreme of an effect on others. Negative externalities must be accounted for, this isn't a controversial statement to anyone other than entitled people.

If this is the excuse being stated, but there is some ulterior motive, then that's another thing.
The first PC I bought myself was a P2-400 with 128MB of RAM and an 11GB hard drive. I ran stock Debian, dual-boot W2K, and I had (just) enough hard drive for a full Debian i386 mirror (with source) so that I didn't need to download packages over my 56k modem.

Strange to read in this blog post that contemporary Linux distros wouldn't be at all useful on this hardware. I know they do a lot more, but the core of what I could do on that PC wasn't that much less than now: or maybe that's just nostalgia speaking?
Slowly and inexorably, we’re rebuilding cable TV on top of streaming. The difference is that we finally get the a la carte plan we consumers have always wanted.
You forgot the most important statement from which is clear casteism is a rising problem:

>"T.G.: There was my own obvious background. My parents immigrated from India in the early nineteen-eighties. I was certainly familiar with the topic. In September, 2021, two employees approached me. I hosted D.E.I. office hours every week where people could come in and talk about these topics, confidentially, and multiple Google employees came into my office and reported that they had faced discrimination when trying to talk about matters of caste in the workplace. There was already a public condemnation of caste discrimination at Google from the Alphabet workers’ union. They had put out a press statement when the Cisco case broke. There were reports from at least twenty Google employees as well. [In June, 2020, California sued Cisco and two of its managers for engaging in caste discrimination. Afterward, Equality Labs received complaints from more than two hundred and fifty tech workers, including twenty Google employees.]"
Having relatively recently been in a rollover accident in a truck I found the rollover protection to be quite sufficient. The A/B pillars didn't appreciably deform and the roof didn't cave in at all.
The amount of effort we put into people who refuse to learn to script to allow them to perform complex tasks feels like such a waste.

I've seen in my industry, we used to spend ages making the most ridiculously complicated front-ends for complex tasks. Now finally we're starting to accept that these orgs will have people who can smack out a bit of Python and suddenly we get to stop wasting our time and focus on supporting those who accept they have to code.

No code/low code will always remain toy and brittle outside of demo-esqe use-cases and those who are willing to open a file in notepad and tinker will retain a significant advantage over the rest.
I'm not a big fan of the Heritage Foundation, but nobody else tracks this statistic. On top that, it's better than they put this information in the clear, if journalists choose to track this in the future they at least have a list someone has been auditing. Lastly, instead of trying to find another source you chose to lecture me on mine, not knowing that there are no other sources. Maybe pack your high and mighty attitude up and put on your thinking cap next time.
Java is somewhat legendary for being rather overly wordy. But, if a new language starts off its list of 'why should you use this' with comparing how to write to the console (java: `System.out.println`, other languages: a simple `puts` or `printf`) always strikes me as silly and turns me off of the language.

Who cares? When I'm writing toy command line apps, complexity is never going to be the problem, certainly not in the 'what do I print to the terminal' part of the code. And if I'm writing actual software where complexity is actually an issue, the odds that this code has any business writing directly to standard out in the first place are infinitesemal. Your language is optimized to do stuff I'm never going to care about. How silly.

However, perhaps it's not _just_ about the short sightedness of inexperienced devs who get tricked into thinking a language is all that because of optimisations to the 'write some toy stuff' process flow.

Think about it, how would you write a tutorial or 'sales pitch' for a dev environment/programming language _without_ focussing on how easy it is to write Hello World and other toy projects?

How would you highlight how the namespacing system seems like overkill for an app whose entire codebase is half a page of text in a large font, but is actually really good at making an easily navigable codebase once we hit the 5 personyears level? I really have no idea how you would show it. You could talk about it and pray that the reader is familiar enough with the challenges of codebases that have grown beyond 'one person tinkering around for a weekend', but almost by definition I don't think you can bash that down into a tutorial or pitch you can consume in 5 hours, let alone 10 minutes.

Still, languages could do more. I think most languages are just kinda bad at natively supporting the idea of DAG-based modular isolation: As code bases grow larger you want to be able to strictly enforce the ability to take a much smaller chunk of that base, draw a circle around it, and say: This can be understood on its own, it is dependent only on these things, and only these parts are 'public API', 'public' here meaning: accessible to other circled-off parts of the entire code base.

Maybe because it demos bad. And that's a real shame. It's many orders of magnitude more important than 'You can just write `puts` to echo to terminal, and there is no need to declare a method for the main entrypoint!'
Stopping radicalization is entirely about situations like this. The people who commit crimes like this don't appear out of nowhere. They were talking about it for months or years ahead of time, usually with like minded people and sometimes with people who are actively trying to destabilize the US.
In my experience in casual conversation all Americans say their salary as pre-tax, and in Europe it's more split where many people would say their salary is the post-tax amount.

Europe has both so it isn't a binary thing. There are 'main dealers' that have ready built stock / floor models or you can hunt around within that chains' group for stock that meets your spec or you can have built to order.

There isn't enough renewable energy yet to cover all consumption. Which means that you paying extra is only an administrative move. You're just swapping places with the party that would otherwise have consumed the renewable energy.
If you had a small robot that could tunnel underground and pull conduit behind it, the only thing you would need to lay fibre would be some electricity and time.
The way that could be fixed is classifying goods and services into socio-economic class demand (A, B, C+, etc).

Here in Mexico we have something called the "canasta básica" (basic basket) which encompasses a set of goods that are defined as basic for living (they are 40 https://www.gob.mx/canastabasica unfortunately the list is in an image so not easy to google translate... stupid government pages). These are closely guarded by the government and I believe the price is closely protected.

Something like that could be extrapolated, and set different taxes to different goods and services. Like, (IMHO, please don't flame me) an XBOX should be heavily taxed, running shoes should be heavily taxed, a "gaming graphics card" should be heavily taxed. Same with services: "go cart racing" should be heavily taxed, Fast-food should be heavily taxed, while fixing stuff (fixing your blender, or your washing machine) should not.
Yes, I am an avid supporter of reforming our increasingly militarized police force, why wouldn’t I be?

And to be clear, I don’t think cops “target white people” just like I don’t think cops “target black people”. Cops have an aggression problem, are trigger happy, and poorly trained.
It is imperfect like all analogies, but let's take a toy example to clarify what I think. Let's say you are going to start something in 3 months, a new job or maybe you want to finally get in shape. If you think that your energy, will, and desire are like fuel in a slowly refilling tank, you might want to stop what you are doing now to save the energy that will have to be spent in 3 months.
I remember years ago, when I was a serious sportsman, we had a few days off at Easter. And I rested. I came back flat, dead, without energy.

Now the flywheel accumulates energy when the motor to which it is connected is working. The flywheel stores energy during the expansion phases (the combustion phase in an ICE) of the engine to return it during the passive phases.
Which, going back to the dilemma "when you have long-term down time, you have energy available to do other work, for networking, etc.," if the flywheel analogy is the right one, it means that you store energy to spend when there is down time by doing work, not by turning the engine off for days or weeks.

If no work is done for a certain period of time (the motor is off), the flywheel does not accumulate energy to spend, it is dead, needs time to accumulate energy again.

If you don't go to the gym one or two days after a period of serious training, which may be a week or a month, the training session is likely to go well. If the rest period, "I'm so tired, I need a break," is longer, say two weeks, you are likely to come back not invigorated, but flat, without desire, you may think about putting it off for another two weeks because you still feel tired, the tank has not been filled with fuel, you may think. But it is because energy, will and desire work like a flywheel.
I'm not aware of any dumb TV manufacturer after over a decade of smart TVs. I'm afraid the demand for dumb devices is simply not sustainable. People get accustomed to the new normal very quickly.
That's very true. The retaliation would go against the complainants instead of the person who wanted to put on the talk.
I can imagine a few instances where giving a node-editor to business would have been a way better solution than having us re-implement it in code continuously. That said, that was always in the context of a larger, domain specific piece of software. Where I think low-code falls flat is trying to be a general purpose programming tool, which means for someone to do their domain specific tasks, learning how to make a general purpose program from scratch is a big ask. I think low-code editors should focus on this portion of the user's journey. Getting data in, data storage, manipulation, image processing, reaching out to APIs, all that stuff needs to be as easy as possible.
This wasn't a case of "anybody contributing", they literally bought off a Meta employee to do this. Well, I guess anybody can commit a crime, but that's not a fundamental weakness of the law.
It's also likely that many planes on Saki weren't operational.
I agree with the sentiments regarding the use of low-code/no-code tools for general purpose programming.

I'd like to present a specific use case as an example of how domain-specific no-code tools can help.

I'm developing a tool for automated browser testing. This fits well into the description of being no-code and is being developed as an alternative to writing C#- or Java-based browser automation tests in Selenium.

The "code" that you write is more akin to configuration that defines what page elements you want to interact with, how you want to interact with them and what you expect to happen. There's more to it than that, but this is not a sales pitch.

My project is in direct response to the experiences my partner encountered when providing browser automation training to manual testers within businesses.

Browser automation testing requires, in broad terms, a small subset of what is offered by C# or Java, however a significant understanding of and familiarity with matters such as objects, variables, sane naming and debugging is required to even begin reaching competence.

Many manual web testers, who were very capable, were just not able to grasp coding matters sufficiently. Many were, but plenty were not. For those that barely could, I feel for the people who have to maintain what would then have been created in their businesses.

Programming that requires only a subset of a general-purpose programming language has the capacity of being implemented in a no-code tool if the scope of the programming needs are narrow.

At least for Ford F-series trucks, you must place the order through a dealer. You can build the truck online and take the build to the dealer for the order. In my experience the online build tool is sophisticated enough that it properly reflects the real order entry system. Not sure if it’s the same for the rest of the models.

I now had time and did some testing and the CER is already pretty much excellent for TEVR even without the language model, so it appears to me that what the LM does is mostly to fix the spelling. In line with that, recognition performance is still good for medical words, but in some cases the LM will actually reduce quality there by "fixing" a brand-name to a sequence of regular words.

Thanks for the perplexity paper :) I'll go read that now.
Freeciv is great, but Unciv is the more interesting one to me. Excellent OSS mobile implementation of Civ V. I've burned many evenings away on my phone. The GUI is a bit strange in some spots, but otherwise it's a very nice civ game.
That seems like a lot of work to own something. At that point I will go with an alternative brand that doesn't have those kind of system or subscription. The problem will be when all the brands have something similar.
