The article doesn’t talk about suicide drone squad (I don’t blame you from not reading it. It’s obvious from reading the very poor comments that nearly no one did).

The article talks about swarm of small drones used in group for surveillance, cheap guided ammunitions and drones used as decoy and to do electronic warfare recon in advance of fighter planes.

Say what? As in the color channel may be useful in program comprehension, but wasted on lexical syntax? ... And we can tell from studying novices?

More like: opportunity to study syntax coloring was squandered on novices that don't actually understand the programming language.

Do other industries do this? In construction, do they test the effectiveness of a laser level by studying apprentices?
I have occasionally wondered about this, specifically from a human factors point of view. I recall an exercise a professor conducted in my intro to psych course as an undergraduate. Try to remember and recall this sequence of numbers:

1...7...7...6...1...8...1...2...1...8...6...5...1...9...1...8...1...9...4...5

And then try to remember and recall this sequence:

1776...1812...1865...1918...1945

Pretty much everyone finds the latter easier even though they are effectively equivalent. This was done as a demonstration of Miller's 7+-2 model of working memory.

I sometimes wonder if the reason IPv4 continues to stick around and IPv6 hasn't gotten the uptake we need is because the former fits into the memory models needed by the end users (developers) whereas a space of 2^128 instead of 2^32 starts pushing the boundary of what a human operator can easily keep in memory.
Scalability limits have made it hard for non-financial applications to compete for block space. Hopefully that will change over the next few years; between rollups and danksharding it should get to 100,000 tx/sec.

Try Turtl (https://turtlapp.com). Disclosure: I built it. It's actually end-to-end encrypted (ie, don't lose your password) and has collaboration features. I've mentioned elsewhere in this post that the conflict resolution is terrible, and also I haven't done a release in quite some time, but I'm (slowly) working on an updated version at the moment (hopefully with better conflict resolution).
I wouldn't expect it to help much, if you don't have the vocabulary and a feel for how the code should look, syntax highlighting only points out similar things, which you can't comprehend anyways. Imagine trying to read something in a foreign language you're just starting to study, and someone went and highlighted all the verbs in one color and nouns in another, how useful would that be?
Just a datapoint: UK banking apps work perfectly on my Sailfish phone.

Jolla's Android emulation is unreasonably excellent, one of their technological gems. If other Linux devices ever lift off, this will be one of the killer features that Jolla can license out. (And why not? I'm absolutely in favor of vendors selling Linux software.)

As for Sailfish - it still offers the best, most consistent, simplest UI/UX of any currently available mobile device.

Edit: and I don't have to root my phone. I can SSH into it (or use the included terminal emulator with my Bluetooth keyboard) and I have access to the full Linux filesystem. For app development, there are no hoops to jump through (like Apple's developer license).

Mobile Linux is already here, and it works!

I don't think you quite understand what the term "popular" actually means.

"Rabid", in the context that you're using it, applies really well to those who keep trying to push a consistent narrative of:

- nothing to see here, move on

- just a few agitated locals, who can't count past 10

- the generals are really good chaps at heart

- don't mind the fact that they are kidnapping politicians & journalists in broad daylight, and subjecting them to CIA-inspired Abu Ghraib style torture

- none of the above in any way confirms that this "deep state" has lost control, and is continuously escalating as it gets continuously desperate

Yes, "rabid" does cover that.

On the other hand, attracting millions to your rallies, winning by-elections in a landslide DESPITE intensive vote-rigging against you, breaking all sorts of viewership records across all platforms (including tagspaces and twitter trends) ...

yes, the term "popular" DOES cover that.
This is basically how I understand the industry, yes.
Politicians always are thinking about their next election. The issue of elected (I understand the PM appointment process by the way) shouldn’t be a revelation to anyone.

The notion that housing prices are being driven up by restrictive zoning ordinances is true for expensive coastal cities like New York and San Francisco, which represent a huge minority of the housing in the United States.

The above linked Vox article refers to another Vox article to back up its general claim that "Housing undersupply is the result of decades of locals opposing new home building."

https://www.vox.com/22264268/covid-19-housing-insecurity-hou...

Then, this referenced Vox article references the following study as if it applies to all housing in general:

"In 2017, Yale Law professor David Schleicher wrote a paper called “Stuck! The Law and Economics of Residential Stagnation.” In it, he documents local restrictions on housing development, arguing they have become so overbearing that the increase in the cost of housing and rents has made moving to a better place impossible for millions of Americans. Local zoning regulations are strangling opportunity."

https://www.yalelawjournal.org/article/stuck-the-law-and-eco...

This study however is clear that the impact of restrictive zoning policies is localized particularly to coastal metro regions beginning in the 1970's:

"Something dramatic happened to land-use regulation in the 1970s and 1980s: it became much, much stricter. Importantly, while this phenomenon affected all types of municipalities—from urban downtowns to inner-ring suburbs to exurbs—it only occurred in particular regions of the country. In particular, coastal metropolitan regions like San Francisco, New York, and Boston restricted construction in cities, suburbs, and exurbs. Because these popular regions restricted new housing, demand for living space outpaced supply. Housing prices soared, but population growth did not.

In contrast to these coastal regions, Southern and Southwestern metropolitan areas like Houston, Phoenix, and Atlanta continued to impose minimal land-use restrictions. Though demand to live in these regions grew as well, this demand led to increased housing construction and population, rather than substantially higher housing prices."

Most of the recent growth and migration in population has been occurring in these Southern belt areas, which have limited restrictions on building. Housing prices is a demand driven problem, not a supply problem throughout most of the United States.

It does because taxes don't disappear. Say we tax land at 4% and the value of all the land in the US is 100k per person. That means the average person pays an extra 4k and each person receives a $4,000 check. If you own an average amount of land you aren't any worse off.

On top of that, it's also now significantly harder to get a GP appointment vs 2-3 years ago so more people are ending up in A&E instead. My own GP surgery has gone from offering "turn up and wait for an appointment" at set times 4 days a week (and call to book a day ahead otherwise) to "you can't do anything without booking in the online system and then the GP will call you at a totally unpredictable time 3 days later when you're not available" because they think its "better" (which I suspect means because it has cut GP workload).

A typical Linux distro ISO is about 2Gb in size and this distro has all the necessary drivers and hardware devices to run on thousands of different computers with different configurations.

Android "AOSP" however has to be customized for every single cell phone model because it doesn't have the device drivers added but it does use the Linux kernel.

Why can't AOSP just include all the necessary device drivers for all the mobile phone models, just like what Linux does for computers?

Then we could have a universal AOSP distro for phones

In Delhi this year, I had my ACs running practically 24x7. I could stomach the power bills but the quality of life is atrocious. I basically couldn’t work outdoors or even go for a simple walk to the neighbourhood otherwise I’d be drenched in sweat.

Modern Indian apartments in major cities are also atrociously designed with little care for ventilation and materials.

You can fight the elements, but then you’re just locked inside a concrete and glass box all day long. No fun in that.
I think my example was extreme but is closer to the truth than yours. My realistic estimate would be perhaps 25% of the cost covers 90% of the benefit. Preventative medicine is cheap as is ending broken bones in children. What is really expensive is open heart surgery and three rounds of chemo for an elderly patient.

Cost x years of benefit really favors the easy interventions in the young.
If something currently serves as a general-purpose computer for most people, it's an (Android) phone. It's affordable, it has integrated graphics, video, audio, trackpad, and keyboard, it has excellent networking, it's easily programmable and has a plethora of apps for all cases.

It does not have a built-in Basic-like language for immediate fiddling; this is sad, of course.

In reality what we have in Canada is already like that to some extent. Doctor's clinics are private businesses. And they bill the government.

It ain't socialism. Parts of it may look like it, but most parts do not (unless your definition of socialism is "guvernm'nt does stuff", which is silly).

That’s the nature of many musical instruments.

Not the kazoo of course, and if that’s your jam it’s cool by me. But it probably won’t get you to Carnegie Hall and that’s also cool by me.

Which is to say that in a community of musicians, complaining that developing chops is hard work doesn’t have much traction.

It doesn’t have much traction because even Garage Band requires commitment to achieve competence. It only produces slightly less poor to mediocre work easily.

> Fyi you need to optimize for two browsers only: chromium (edge) is the webview on windows, and webkit is the webview on linux and macos.

You're right, I keep forgetting that Microsoft has switched to Blink. It's still a pain if you're a Windows dev who needs to test on WebKit. Or is there an easy way to test that these days?

> I’m curious about the svg and flexbox issues you mentioned. I have not experienced any differences with those across systems and browsers.

To be fair, the differences I was thinking of were mostly between Gecko and Blink, so they're not really relevant to Blink vs WebKit. It's been many years since I've worked directly with SVGs, but I remember there being major differences between how different browser engines interpreted masks and some other features of SVG. I also think they scaled SVGs differently. The flexbox issue I'm thinking of had to do with how Gecko and Blink handled `height: 100%` inside a flexbox container that does not have a set height. I don't remember the exact difference, but I think Chrome assigned a height of 0 to the element, whereas Firefox greedily took up all of the available space, or something like that. Like I said, it's been a few years, so take all of that with a grain of salt. I just remember spending far too much time debugging those sorts of issues. :)
The exit scene is very rough actually. Indian investors are conservative and the public markets don’t have much appetite for loss making companies. Silicon Valley accounting chicanery such as “adjusted EBITDA” don’t fly here - investors demand PAT - Profits After Tax.
