Two people who did not have to work to survive found purpose generating useless semantics.

By their time physical science had placed upper and lower bounds on what’s possible even if the public was not aware of it.

I get the appeal and went through that phase in life, but no theories have superseded Entropy, Relativity; yes the information we generate is always “out there” but it loses structure, the meaning of it being out there is relative. Information theory is a model for discovery, not memorization.

Daily life is as it looks; work to survive for some, subsist on their work for others. Those who spend more time subsisting might try discovering literal self sufficiency, and those who work to live might try spending more time subsisting. That’s all I get out of past philosophy these days.
That's ok, some of the universities reject applications from PO Boxes or application fees paid with money orders. The filters work from a certain point of view, but I cannot help but wonder how much talent sits on the sidelines because nobody has time or the inclination to look.
How can they call 36 hours of battery life "long"? The $799 version Garmin Fenix 7 solar (which they seem to be targeting) has an 18-22 days of battery life.
It makes a massive difference. I find most math related code unreadable without operator overloading, such code is very common in e.g. gamedev.

Just because people misuse operator overloading doesn't mean it should be removed from the language.

I don't see that as the underlying desire for Web3. Not in the slightest.
I guess if you evaluate your product as "all or nothing", then this product couldn't possibly be for you, but then what product would be for you? I use Brave for the integrated ad blocking and integrated TOR and I skip the crypto-coin stuff. I don't think I'll use this new feature either, but then I'm content with a product doing more than the things I use it for.

I have used both Garmin and Apple watch (currently rocking an Apple Watch 6), many distances from casual walks to full marathons. I have found the apple watches did fine? What didn't work for you?

One (IMO reasonable) objection/confusion might be that the the repo URL is the exact same as the web page, i.e. the actual posted article.

When coming from git/Mercurial/subversion etc as I do, it is at least mildly weird that the Bazaar repo address is the same as the address of a web document. The two objects are not (at least in my world) the same, so why should they share URIs?

Edit: deduped.
Whenever I feel like my management is not sufficiently technical or experienced I think of the construction foreman. I imagine what things would be like if you could become a foreman without ever learning construction yourself. How would that work?

Software development at some companies often seems like that. The person in the position of leadership is instead led (at the expense of productivity) by the people they're meant to lead.

Of course this would never be allowed in a field where there are serious non-reversible consequences of negligence stemming from a lack of knowledge.

I feel like this is largely a phenomenon local to software development.

Isn't this the case for any tool that does semantic analysis, including any interesting feature of any IDE? Even in the realm of basic text editors, there's this classic exploit: if your editor and language disagree on what characters are allowed to end a line, you can smuggle lines of code into a program that appear to be commented out but are actually executed (or the inverse, lines that appear to be executed but are actually commented out).
It does seem confusing to me why someone would choose Zig. If you’re looking for a low-level language, Rust is safer with a better ecosystem. If you want a high-level language, Nim binaries are smaller and the Go ecosystem is better.

When is Zig the best choice?
70% of the batch didn’t think so.
And there are good and bad lints. If you want a somewhat view on what lints are good and bad go find some issues for Rust that discuss how to categorize a particular lint.
It looks like Apple took a hard look at decades of classic watch ads. And decided to do the same.

>Then the competition becomes who can change the code faster and reach more customers.

That is not very reassuring advice for a small developer who has limited resources. By opening your source code, you have just given up any head start you might have over the competition. They now have access to every line of code you spent hours agonizing over to get it right. Now they can out market you and leverage their vast resources to steal away any of your potential customers.

> What kind of sanction is being violated in your opinion?

You are missing the main point.

What if you are an employee and make a wrong judgement call? The punishment is you going to jail for a long time.

It is safer to overdo the sanction. You don't get paid more either way, and there is no chance of you going to jail.
Doesn't matter, as long as Apple users will pay for it to have the latest and the greatest.
Yes, and they could still file those Schedule Cs against their automatic tax bill. Schedule C is totally separate, and could even be filed totally separately just like a business return.
I think it's older than that, even predating SQLite. Back when Perl/CGI was all the rage it was common to store data in files. But the web was growing fast and scaling files was hard. Pushing that workload onto the heavyweight RDMBS was seen as the solution, reasonably so in some cases, but that also brought the cargo culting along with it.

When SQLite arrived it got lumped in with file storage that can't scale. Rails only perpetuated what everyone was already thinking.
I was hoping for a Mini Pro but they axed even the ‘normal’ mini. It’s sad but I understand that ‘smaller’ is harder and more expensive to produce with an even lower user base. Same story with the new Apple Watch Ultra 49mm.

We shouldn't cite Chomsky for historical claim about what the US government did or didn't do during the Cold War when there are much better sources. Citing Chomsky in a conversation like this is poisoning the well. Just look at the responses his comment got, like the one I responded to above; people doubting that America overthrew Iran's democratic government because the top level comment cited Chomsky.
In my experience, eSIM is only good when things go as expected. If things get messed up on the carrier end, you'll have to go to the cellphone store to get it fixed. Every. Time. They cannot ship you a replacement sim card.

Losing the ability to easily swap physical SIM cards seems like a major loss in functionality and robustness for consumers. All for a minor convenience during first setup. Am I missing something?
Nuclear power plants take years to build. Even if a plant were approved today, it wouldn't be finished before large scale hydrogen storage either fails or takes hold, at which point it would be an expensive and unnecessary boondoggle.
I'm not asking for justifications of why Iran is an exception. You can always argue that any particular case is an exception where the general rule doesn't apply.

I'm talking about the general principle here. I'm saying what you are essentially claiming is "countries should respond to cyberattacks [...] unless those cyberattacks are warranted". I'm not interested in discussing whether they were warranted or not in the case of Iran.

I like the idea of Zig, but haven't got to actually use it yet. I still can't get over it's syntax. I think the manual memory management approach but easier than C is a good path to follow. It makes Zig a natural in other environments such as WASM. Compare that to Go or D which started with a garbage collector and struggle in WASM (Go has to compile it's garbage collector to WASM to work, D forces you to manage your memory manually).
Apple is missing the mark in this segment.

Their competitors: Garmin, coros all offer weeks of battery life with tradeoffs people in this segment happily make.

I get 20 days of battery life on my coros pace 2. Charging a apple watch every night or two would not be acceptable.
I don't think that's quite the same issue. That `a` is reassigned doesn't make it unused. It is, after all, a variable.

And that's why this issue is kind of hard. It's why I end up block scoping a lot of error code in Go, which is ugly but generally safer.

In two years, the emergency text feature will be standard and free for everyone while some enhanced features will cost money.
I liked using it. Though, most of the time, it was limited, in the sense that it could only offer completions using the code before the cursor as the context.

I found it most helpful in setting up boilerplate in when writing tests. It could offer testing some edge cases before I could think of them.
"Not much safer" isn't fair. Zig has full spatial memory safety, which is already a huge improvement over C. The Zig type system and how idiomatic code looks also prevent various safety risks. Also, Zig panics on integer overflow, avoiding various other dangers.

Zig does lack a general solution for temporal memory safety. That is a downside. But it can still have that safety in ReleaseSafe mode, at least - for example, by not reusing memory addresses. That adds overhead, which might rule Zig out in certain areas, but not others.

Also, while in many domains safety should be the #1 factor when when choosing a language (like building a web browser), that's not universally true. Other factors exist.

I don't see this as an "Apple is evil" comment. There are plenty of people who use Windows/Linux + Android for their computing environment, and for those people, jumping into the Apple ecosystem is an infeasible time/money/productivity commitment.

> The value of private companies is determined each year by the cantonal tax authorities based
on an inter-cantonal administrative guideline agreed upon by the cantonal tax departments.
Taxpayers may challenge the application of this guideline in court but appeals are rarely
successful (cf. an example in section 0, below). In case the fair-market value of operational
companies cannot easily be assessed (e.g. because of lack of recent sales between independent
third parties), their value is determined according to the formulaic method, called the
practitioner's method. A company's value is determined by calculating the weighted average of
its ‘earnings value’ and its net asset value (i.e. fair market value of assets minus liabilities),
thereby counting the earnings value twice. The earnings value is determined by capitalising the
adjusted average net profit of the last two or three years with a capitalisation rate (of currently
7%), which applies uniformly to all industries. Holding companies or real-estate companies are
valued based on the net asset value of the underlying assets.

It won't be perfect, but it's predictably imperfect.

If you read the Agile Manifesto[1], you'll find that nowhere inside does it say not to do design, nor is it prescriptive with regards to how much design to do. The reality is, each team gets to (or "has to" if you prefer) decide how much design (particularly up-front design) is appropriate for their project.

For some projects it may be that spending two days on design is right. For others maybe it's two months. I doubt the right number is "two years" for any project, but you never know. But I do know that the point of the Agile Manifesto was never to say "don't do design and architecture work". Rather, it was to say something like "Don't get too caught up in design and architecture up-front or you might wind up designing the wrong thing, since you won't really know if what you're building is the right thing until the users can see something concrete and provide feedback." That's my own personal paraphrase of course, but I think it's pretty close to the spirit of the thing.

Anyway, yeah, if your team feels that spending some time on designing API's up front, then by all means, do it. You have my permission! Tell your boss, your scrum master, your consultants, whoever tries to argue with you, that I said so.
I can tell em to fuck off, since I don't report to any of them. :-)

> Similarly, being closer to "the knowledge" tends to make you poorly informed about other important aspects of your business, almost unavoidably. This information is often critical to actual success, more than IC's/engineers often realize.

But the question is here the same: is the manager most informed to take the decisions? I would expect the functional analyst to know most about the domain and what is required, and the sales or business development people about how to extract money out of the customer. In all cases, I think the experts of all fields are at the lowest level.

> Done well, a good EM will be an interface between the goals (from above) and capabilities (from below) and keeping them aligned.

I agree that the vision needs to come from the top downwards. That means "where do we want to go", but the "how will we do this", is in my opinion all the people at the lowest levels.

As for capabilities, a great manager will present what needs to be done to the team, and the team will decide what effort will be required.
Size is probably driven by the size of the electronics, size of batteries, and size of screen. You could probably get a usable system on a smaller screen, but the rest of it, I suspect, is already up against the limits of what we can manufacture today.
It was a number to illustrate a point, not exact figure for this specific case.

Yes, the manufacturers will go great lengths to minimize variable costs. If they can shave $0.25, they will. At volumes, it matters.

If you're surrounded by a transparently evil organization AND you profit from it, even if you think you are doing good, you will likely be corrupted and trapped in a web of your own justifications that just happen to support the continuation of a fat pay check.

I sort of feel like this is how tech has always been. A new technology comes around, people use it for everything, and the bad use cases filter themselves out while the rest stays around. Personally persistent, decentralized domains sound like a useful tool to a lot of people, and I hope it sticks
You are omitting the sentences immediately afterwards. "Non disclosure agreement" is just a word, the provisions are what are important.

> Not only did it bar me from making any disparaging comments about BCG or my work experience, but I wouldn’t even be allowed to reveal the existence of the non-disclosure agreement itself.

I concede that the title is a bit sensationalist, but it is essentially accurate. BCG did offer the author $16k to not write anything about them, including this story.

> Also, maybe everyone at MIT knows who "BCG" is, but nobody outside MIT does, that's for sure.

I am not at MIT or even loosely affiliated with MIT. I know that BCG stands for Boston Consulting Group in the context of consulting. Also, it's kind of like IBM, you don't really need to know that it stands for International Business Machines, that cluster of initials has an identity all by itself in a certain context.

If you are posing the question, "why does Preact not make hooks behave like signals?", it very likely is to retain similarity with React where you only have hooks. For better or worse, Preact is known to most folks as an alternate implementation of React with the same API.

SolidJs shows you can get most of the functionality of hooks using signals. Who knows, if someday most Preact users converge to using signals for state management, maybe they will throw out hooks altogether. But in their current context, supporting both hooks and signals feels a reasonable choice to me.
If the software is transcribing and sending emails without the user's awareness, much less permission... then the responsibility must rest with the software. Software isn't responsible for my deliberate decisions, but it is responsible for anything it does without consulting me.

Interesting stuff. Cross platform development is inspiring.
I think this mis-characterises where the burn-out often comes from.

If you have an outwardly light task with onerous implications (just feeling you are being dishonest, as in these examples, can easily be enough) or very stressful segments, you aren't just dealing with the stress during the hours you are officially clocked-on, you will be thinking about it throughout chunks of the rest of your day. It may even inhibit sleep to an extent. Time away from a stressful situation is often not stress free time.

Unless of course you are one of those lucky people who can reliably switch these thoughts on and off at appropriate times, mentally shift responsibility ("not my job to keep that correct, guv'ner") without guilt, or lack the awareness for these issues to even present themselves at all. See "how do politicians and lobbyists sleep at night"!
> Third: There are a lot of cases where the cost of memory safety just isn't that high, and Zig's mitigations are more than sufficient.

But then why not just use a GC'd language? It isn't 1995 anymore; most apps are written in GC'd languages. C++ makes sense when you already have a lot of C++ code, but if you're talking about new code, I don't see a lot of room for a language without memory safety.
