The Apple Weather app UI has far less granular detail than Dark Sky iOS app for hourly predictions. I liked the hourly view of temp, humidity, precipitation. We lose that in Apple Weather and its the main thing I check in the app.

But the rain predictions have been wildly inaccurate in Dark Sky lately, including an incident last night where it told me I was in a rain storm when I was not...

Sure, but these are temporary disruptions. Now it's true that the pace of change feels immensely faster than ever before, and I believe that's an observable fact. But we adapt. The incentives to do so are, sometimes, life or death. When faced with that kind of situation, some small % will sink into depression, perhaps never to climb out. I'm sure that some online magazine (which surely used to be known for its print version, but is no longer...) will write an extremely long piece full of anecdotes about the plight of the artist whose livelihood was destroyed by the evil AI.

But I assert that it will always be a tiny percentage of the whole, because the vast majority of people like to eat food and live in houses. Many of them will look at these new tools and make amazing new things. Many will go do other things. That's life, man.
The article is addressing a more fundamental point I think.

You cannot escape Little's Law for instance. You can change the variance but in the long run the average is what matters.
Any productivity blog that starts with the flawed premise that you can have the average (or even above-average Googlers) developer pump out bugfixes and features 8hrs/day, doing focused work without tiring sets unrealistic expectations.

The reality is that a developer's day is a mix of meetings (for coordination they are not necessarily useless), training (it's a fast moving environment with self-actualization), code reviews, environment setup, helping colleagues, and finally, code writing are all necessary for a successful development endeavor.

If I need a full compile that takes 15 minutes it does break the flow, but so does all of the above. When Sundar Pichai said that productivity was too low, he's just preparing the press/people for layoffs and hiring freezes.

You have to find some answer that makes you feel like the tests are worthwhile and not just busywork.

In Java I see it as an competitor to the ‘mess around with the Python CLI’ approach, In the IDE it is as quick to cycle and you can breakpoint w/ the debugger. If you have some question about how it works, you can answer the question and produce a test that is checked in.

In that way you document the API.
All I can say is that at least Macs show the weather in Celcius when you are in the correct region. We have Windows 11 systems here that no matter what we do show the weather is in Fahrenheit on the Windows taskbar, which is utterly useless to us.

My library has a pretty janky wishlist function (the software feels 30 years old) that I try and keep updated, also I use my Amazon wishlist.
As established in my earlier comment, your original premise and your entire argument is incorrect. Akka is not a 'messaging platform'. It's a bunch of libraries that you link in to your JVM app. No one (well, no sane person) would try to 'charge others a fee to let them use Akka' on their server because technologically that doesn't make sense. It's akin to charging people a fee for a service to concatenate strings together. Hence as you can see, the SSPL is not an appropriate fit for Akka anyway.
The problem is that it can take a long time to explain certain feelings or ideas you get from art (of any form), and even the attempt is a bit painful or downright impossible.

A very low-level example would be a Jackson Pollock or Mondrian painting. It's just a bunch of... stuff but it's extremely visually pleasing compared to just random blotches. There are theories as to why that might be[0] but overall, it would be nigh impossible to tell you why I personally find these pieces compelling because the reason is almost unconscious and tactile.

A medium level example would be a song that inspires a certain narrative in your mind. For instance, that intro song by the XX gives me all sorts of conflicting emotions that could be summarized as 'wanting to do more with my life', but the summary doesn't do it justice at all.

A higher-level example would be a piece of literature read at the right time in your life. It's a show-don't-tell type of exercise where the author exposes ideas to you about life or the world without spelling them out explicitly. Sometimes the ideas don't have much to do with the surface details of the narrative. In many ways, it is similar to experiences you actually lived yourself and that imparted ideas or lessons to you.

If you are not in the same headspace, this will seem like a con or pretentious nonsense. But what is really going on is that trying to explain it is often like trying to explain a joke or a subtle social interaction to someone who didn't get it.

My friend once tried to explain to me the beauty of the Carmack fast invert square root, and I didn't really get it because I lacked certain foundational ideas. But there was no doubt in my mind that he was seeing artistic worth in that moment, and that despite me being unable to understand it it was certainly not 'gloop'.

Trying to come at it with the combative Wikipedia-article-on-fallacies/STEM vs. art mindset is self-defeating, like interpreting the scientific method as a tool for prescriptive claims.

Why on earth do you move 28 tonnes of cement from southern England to the US to put out a fire!

I am of course joking - badly.

Portland is in Dorset (UK) and is where the eponymous stuff was first extracted along with stone.

This is a novel way to put out fires but a logical one if the temperatures are right. Conc can burn if it's too hot - and it sets/cures with an exothermic reaction. That's why you have to pour it carefully in huge quantities (think dams).

If your pde has spatial locality, parallelization works. I suspect you might be talking about multidimensional diffusions such as occur in finance. These decompose locally in price space. If the pde is nonlocal there is very little that works in general. I wrote a paper on parallelization in the time dimension, but it works poorly.

> a cost of living crisis > funded by the taxpayer

To respond only to your financial arguments: there are different ways of looking at the costs and benefits of the UK royals.

Firstly, taxation:

“the monarchy cost the taxpayer £102.4m”. Last tax year HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) “collected £716.0 billion in taxes”[0].

Let’s assume the “cost of living crisis” affects 10 million people. £100 million given to them would mean an extra 10 quid per person per annum. A worthwhile difference, but hardly solving the problem. There’s way more pounds of flesh or fat to cut elsewhere in the budget.

Secondly: costs and waste are easy to see, but gains are often not seen. Does the UK earn more from the royals than the royals cost?

“[The royals] contributed an estimated $2.7 billion annually to the U.K. economy prepandemic. The impact the royal family has on the U.K. economy is mostly through tourism, but Haigh notes there are other financial benefits, such as free media coverage of Britain (which was an estimated $400 million in 2017). There are also many valuable royal warrants granted by the monarch—essentially a stamp of approval on high-end consumer products like Barbour jackets and Johnnie Walker whisky. [snip] The economic advantages for companies and institutions in the royal family’s orbit far exceed the $550 million cost associated with the family’s massive operating expenses, according to Haigh.”[-1].

Of course, there are non-monetary costs and gains of the monarchy that are much harder to value.

Pure ownership in dollars “How The Royal Family’s $28 Billion Money Machine Really Works”[-1³] can be compared against the wealth of other dynastic wealth families. It doesn’t make the top 10 in the world[π]. And probably not #1 in the UK[§] with the first royal family showing at #12 (although there are non-$ benefits such as status of being royalty, and non-$ costs/risks).

Even in New Zealand we are all paying a few dollars a year for costs related to the monarchy[1].

I said "conservative politicians" not "conservatives". The loudest crazies on both side don't generally represent the mainstream, but conservative politicians are actively appealing to the crazies. Absolutely nobody is being taught in schools to feel guilty for being white. That's an outright lie concocted by conservative politicians. Your perspectives of the liberal view is based on the worst caricature of liberal views you might find in the depths of Twitter while your perspective on the conservative view is based on the narrowest reading of stated policy. The 1619 Project was immaculately researched whole mainstream conservatives can't even figure out what happened in 2020.

I like the aesthetics of your app! Nice responsive design, too.

Some suggestions:

- The hourly forecast icons are hard to tell apart. They're small, and blue raindrops blend in with the blue gradient behind the icon.

- The checkmark button on starred locations is hard to understand. It looks like it should confirm something (especially beside the red X), but it I guess maybe it selects the default location? The button could use alt text, too.

- The 7-day forecast feels busy. Maybe de-emphasize the date (lower font weight or smaller size for the calendar day, and maybe a shorter date format)

- The search box would benefit from suggesting places. Less to type (especially on mobile), and weather apps are inconsistent about what location queries they support and suggestions give confidence I'm using a new app correctly.

If something is truly required, you're better off writing the validation logic yourself, so that you can change it when your requirements change.
